The good news is I found the rest of my error. I'm pretty sure that one difference will shift everything to the proper spot.

Q: version 1.0.6 "game balance adjustments"?

The in-game update notice says just that, "Game balance adjustments." Nintendo support says the following: Adjustments have also been made to balance the game and make for a more pleasant gaming experience. Does anyone know what has been changed? I'm noticing some AI changes I think.

Q: When will gta 5 go on sale?

With your best calculated guess when you think GTA 5 will go on sale, where and what's the average sale amount will be?

Q: What's the most efficient way to earn points in Puyo Puyo Tetris (ぷよぷよテトリス)?

In Puyo Puyo Tetris (ぷよぷよテトリス) playing games in the various modes earns you points. These points (I think) can then be used to unlock things like skins and characters. However, after playing for 5-ish hours (mostly single-player Adventure, and a mix of the multi-player modes), I barely have 200...

Yesssssssss

6:18 PM

I am so excited to make soup later :D

@AshleyNunn That is amazing!

@AshleyNunn am I the only one that is slightly bothered that the ladle is on top of a book? :x

I mean, I can tell it's a clean and dry ladle, but... >.<

user15026

@Chippies It's literally brand new.

user15026

The ladle, I mean

@AshleyNunn I suppose I'll let it slide this once then!

user15026

6:21 PM

And I don't hold books to the same pristine standard like a lot of people I know

user15026

books are meant to be used

@AshleyNunn The Holy Ladle of @AshleyNunn.

(Gregorian chanting)

@AshleyNunn Woah woah, I thought you were quite religious about taking care of books :O

user15026

@Chippies Library books, and ones that are not mine, yes

@AshleyNunn Makes sense

6:22 PM

In my opinion, there's taking care of books and the other thing. Books are meant and made to be read. Owning a book just to have it and take care of it but never read it defeats its purpose.

And is thus worthless.

@Yuuki You can take care and read the book, those things aren't mutually exclusive :P

@Chippies That's why I said "there's taking care of books and the other thing".

Because whatever that is, it's not taking care of a book, in my opinion.

user15026

My books are battered, some spotted with stuff, some dog-eared, some with broken spines because they are mine and that's okay

user15026

but if they are other people's or library stuff, forget it

user15026

those need much more love and care

6:24 PM

@Yuuki I think it goes in the same category as people never taking their figurines out of the original packaging

@Chippies Yeah, is a toy still a toy if it's not played with?

In my opinion, no.

@Yuuki those people would probably argue that they're not toys, they're figurines

you don't play with figurines

still though, keeping stuff in the original packaging is silly, imho

Yeah. And a book is not a book unless you read it.

A comic is not a comic if you don't read it.

@Yuuki collector's item, I suppose?

@Chippies Tell that to the people who make a ton off money off of people who buy stuff in mint condition

6:26 PM

@FAE I was gonna add "unless the whole point of buying the item is to sell it later"

@Yuuki I have tons of not-books in my house then. <_<

@Yuuki I have quite a few not-games on Steam then

I have tons of not-games in my steam library

meow

@Batophobia I don't even want to think about how many of those I have

6:28 PM

If you own a "book" or "comic" for collector's purposes, you shouldn't call it a "book" or a "comic", in my opinion.

user15026

@Yuuki But it is still the thing

user15026

It just is being used differently than you do

@Yuuki ...what else would you call it?

It's still a book or a comic to that person

@FAE You guys mentioned it earlier: "collector's item".

user15026

The agreed societal signifier still stands

6:29 PM

Names give purpose.

user15026

@Yuuki Well, yes

Names give a way to convey what you are talking about

user15026

In some cases

@Yuuki Hm, so do unnamed things not have a purpose then?

I can say "Give me that book" and even if you've never read it you understand the meaning

user15026

6:30 PM

But really, they're just naming conventions, where society has agreed that this sign relates to this signifier, meaning and purpose are a separate thing.

Death's Gambit seems like an awesome game :O

user15026

/rhetoric wankery

cc: @GnomeSlice

It's a cultural thing, I guess.

@FAE No, not really.

Death's Gambit Official Reveal Trailer

6:31 PM

@Yuuki If you invent some doohickey to do something for you but you haven't given it a name, it can still serve a purpose despite being nameless.

@Yuuki it's still a comic or a book, it's just not open/used yet

So a book unread, is not a book?

user15026

I wasn't named for 48 hours, so how does that work? :P

Or is it simply a book unexperienced.

user15026

I think it is still a book, just not experienced

user15026

6:32 PM

by that logic every unsold book is not a book

All those space rockets never launched

@AshleyNunn book stores are a LIE!

Also, any single use item, isn't actually that item

@AshleyNunn How does a Library work then. Do I check out a "collectors item" and return a "book"?

I don't think I'm explaining it properly. The name you give something denotes its purpose. If you call something a "book", you intend to read it.

is a collector's item once used not a collector's item anymore?

hmmm

a book to me is a collection of pages, containing written word

generally

6:33 PM

@Chippies Depends on the collector, I imagine

the bible is a book I don't intend to read.

user15026

@Yuuki No?

@Yuuki I call a lot of things in library and book stores "books", doesn't mean I intend to read them

News just in: your interpretation of a word doesn't apply to anyone else.

user15026

I call lots of things books that I never intend to read.

6:33 PM

newspapers aren't books

3 mins ago, by Yuuki

It's a cultural thing, I guess.

I intend to read them

also, the internet.

TIL Bridge is a book

The Bridge: Pedantry Edition.

6:34 PM

s/cultural/personal.

What if you only read half?

dear lord a quantum book.

@JasonBerkan Doesn't that equate to "The Bridge: Normal Edition"?

@Batophobia then it's a "boo"

DIscussion, it's good!

user15026

6:35 PM

@JasonBerkan This is where I hate my English degree because this is rhetoric and semiotics and that's what I studied so I am like "I KNOW THINGS" and tend to accidentally word-vomit

@FAE There is also The Bridge: Argument Edition, The Bridge: Post GIFs Edition and The Bridge: After Dark Edition.

I know things, but I educationally fail english. it's fin

errr fun.

Word vomit is when you throw up after eating alphabet soup

@Chippies ewww

On that note, has anyone here ever thrown up.... upwards?

6:36 PM

@JasonBerkan true

I once puked over a street. From one pavement to the other... :<

@djsmiley2k were you aiming at someone you didn't like?

There is a rumour that there may even be a The Bridge: Video Game Edition, but most serious scholars doubt its existence.

3

But never in a postively ....something.... vertical direction

@djsmiley2k ...hoooow

6:37 PM

@Chippies lol nah, just threw up after feeling sick all day, then felt a lot better :D

@JasonBerkan Found it!

@djsmiley2k Wait, where do you live? Some streets are narrow than others

@Chippies dude this looks awesome

@FAE pyloric stenosis, so increased muscle build up + extreme regurutation ability.

this was wide enough for two cars to pass. in the UK.

I am very experienced at throwing up, so I naturally turn downwards when it's coming out

@GnomeSlice it's kinda like dark souls + possibly shadow of colossus in 2d

6:38 PM

What the data says my error should be: 17°
What my analysis says my error should be: ~34°
What the actual device says the error is: 0°
FML

@Chippies yeah that's exactly what i was thinking

@MBraedley Sounds like you have an error somewhere.

zomg I just found I could colour labels in gmail :O

@Chippies ska-studios.com/salt

@MBraedley It feels like this has something to do with midpoints.

6:40 PM

@Yuuki No, just rotation corrections.

deaths gambit looks better though

I'm not a fan of the art in S&S

@djsmiley2k Damn. That's impressive/horrifying.

right, i gotta go have some breakfast.

@GnomeSlice that looks nice too

@GnomeSlice are you home?

@FAE I was walking back from the bus stop coming home from school, so about 15-16

a few friends saw it two and were like "DUDE WHAT THE F????"

it was pretty scary tbh

6:41 PM

@djsmiley2k Excuse me while I make sure I'm ~~at least three streets~~ more than two cars away from you.

i just remember feeling ewww, opening my mouth and it was like a hose pipe

The Bridge: I'm Outta Here Edition.

and then I felt a lot better :D

1 min ago, by djsmiley2k

right, i gotta go have some breakfast.

@djsmiley2k I think there are lizards that do that in self defense

TIL: I'm a lizard

6:43 PM

Well, unless you also projectile bleed-out-of-your-eyes, we can rule out horned toad.

I once blew pot noodle outta my nose?

@Yuuki there's always a first time

Oh, and once red aftershock too, that burnt for days :/

Screw that, @djsmiley2k's a living firearm not a lizard.

:D

Biological warfare ;)

Right, seirously, dinner o./

6:44 PM

First you say "breakfast", then "dinner"? @djsmiley2k is also a time traveller.

I see what he did there

@Chippies at my parents, but yeah

Q: How are the glyph hack bonuses calculated?

Did anyone come across a formula for the calculation of the glyph hacks? There seem to be many questions and attempts at it but I couldn't find any definite answer.

Why you wanna play meltdown or something?

@GnomeSlice ah, I was gonna ask if you wanted to do the last boss in dark souls

6:45 PM

I have DarkSouls here but I don't think I have a character there

since you asked about it before, I kinda didn't try it even

Except my darkwraith and he's too low level for you to summon

@Chippies do you have pyromancy?

I got to the boss and I made a sorcerer

@GnomeSlice yeah

There's a really easy way to cheese him if you have combustion

just run in and use combustion on him, you'll hit him but he'll dodge to the side around you, just keep doing it and he'll keep just dodging around you till he's dead.

@GnomeSlice I'm sure I can destroy him, it just seemed like you wanted to do it together :P

but if you don't care, I'll solo it then

6:46 PM

Oh, no that's okay, I always die against him anyway

give it a shot

heh, cool beans

he's pretty hard if you don't cheese him

I'm bad at that fight

I haven't played dark souls in a week, since GTA V launch day, lol

@Chippies wait did you do Oolacile yet?

the optional area

@GnomeSlice oh yeah, that's why I stopped

6:47 PM

@Chippies kek

cuz you wanted to do that

Oh yeee I can probably do that place

What level are you?

don't remember, still the same I was, so like 64 I think

@Yuuki I meant dinner, but regularly eat cereal for dinner

@Chippies Air Brawl!

6:48 PM

however today it's chicken and chips :D

engadget.com/2015/04/17/…

we're all gonna die.

@Chippies let me see if I can remember how to get to Oolacile

My huntress is level 69, should be fine.

heh, 69

what are the prereq's for Oolacile anyway?

Idk if I can even do it yet

@Chippies None that I know of. You just have to do some things.

You have to kill the hydra

then reload the game, go back along the water, kill big golem

talk to Dusk, go back to shoreline, reload game, summon her, talk to her, go to duke's archives and get the pendant, go back to where golem was, go in black hole

I think

> Traveling to the land of Oolacile can only be done after obtaining the Broken Pendant, which is dropped by a Crystal Golem in The Duke's Archives after speaking with Dusk of Oolacile.

so how is that not prereq's? :P

that's quite a few

either way, I think I have all of that done

user15026

So I just finished the last Call the Midwife for the season and they've hit the era where they gave pregnant women thalidomide for morning sickness and aaaaaaaaaa that is going to end so badly

6:53 PM

@Chippies i don't get it

@AshleyNunn i thought that was poisonous

@GodEmperorDune Apparently, you didn't see what he did there.

@GodEmperorDune I presume that's why it's going to end badly.

@GodEmperorDune look at the fps before and after he turns the "cinematic mode" on

@Chippies makes sure you get the secret bonfire by the hydra. just look up grass crest shield and it will tell you where it is, it's easier than trying to explain it

user15026

@GodEmperorDune Well, it can be used in ways that aren't harmful, but in the 1960's they gave it to pregnant women, and it is not friendly with developing babies.

there's a black knight you'll have to kill

user15026

6:54 PM

(The show is set in 1950's/60's London)

Faith in Arqade restored

@GnomeSlice I have that done long ago

user15026

@Ktash ?

oh okay

@Chippies ah, i see it now

6:55 PM

@AshleyNunn Was going to post about an edit that needed rejection (and had 1 approval already), but someone else rejected it before I could

user15026

@Ktash yay

@GnomeSlice can you warp to that one? The names in the warp menu aren't very descriptive

Don't think so.

hm

Closest is undead parish, or undead burg if you run down through havel's room

6:56 PM

I guess I'll warp to undead parish then

or burg is what I meant actually

actually there is no warp to undead burg it seems

Also, apparently the user who rejected it is from your area @AshleyNunn... you have a high rep sock puppet, don't you? Admit it

oh

do sunlight altar then

or just do parish

user15026

@Ktash I am curious who is from my area.

probably the closest then

user15026

Like from Ontario? Or closer? :P

6:58 PM

@Chippies I gotta kill the hydra just a sec

@Ktash i thought we already established that all diamonds are part of the cyborg network run by @AshleyNunn

Schism, Canada

Oh, shit, would you look at that.

user15026

Fancy.

user15026

I mean not surprising, because UW is a really, really good school for CS and such, but hey.

6:59 PM

@Chippies oh, did you do Ashen Lake? It's another optional area

it's pretty short

That's not what UW stands for :P (but yes the real UW is a great CS school)

go down to the swamp under blight town and look for a giant tree you can go up inside
