Router ordered at 10am. Router arrived at 4pm

Unionhawk

You are the worst

MBraedley

@Sterno And I'm still waiting for things I ordered over a week ago.

Sterno

@MBraedley You should try being more American

MBraedley

@Sterno Actually, that's not a bad idea. One order only just cleared customs. I think.

user15026

And here I thought Amazon sending me things in like a couple of days because Mississauga has a fulfillment center was pretty great...

MBraedley

8:08 PM

@Lazers2.0 (sigh)

Unionhawk

I think there's an Amazon fulfillment center near the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky airport which would be close, or the one near @Sterno is probably close. Not close enough for same day though

two bugs

Same day delivery would be nice, but 2 day with prime is fine for me

Tim Stone

There's one about...uhh 1.9 miles from here.

user15026

Mississauga is an hour-ish from me. But really, its rare I order anything where those 2 days or whatever makes any discernible difference other than oh I like immediate gratification

two bugs

Especially with release day delivery

Unionhawk

8:11 PM

>_>

Tim Stone

The UPS office is further than the fulfillment center

Unionhawk

<_<

T-T

Tim Stone

Coincidentally we get Sunday Amazon deliveries via USPS

Unionhawk

Yeah, we also get sunday delivery when that's when 2 day shipping would put it

BUT NOT SUNDAY DELIVERY AS IN USPS PICKS IT UP SUNDAY MORNING AND DELIVERS IT SUNDAY AFTERNOON

Tim Stone

Poor @Unionhawk :(

Unionhawk

I get next day delivery from NewEgg with normal shipping too because the warehouse is in Edison, NJ

@Unionhawk Sundays? Seriously?

user15026

Here, it's monday-friday or nothing. For any mail type object.

Unionhawk

@AshleyNunn Sundays.

djsmiley2k

Time for the final mission, whoop

Tim Stone

Yeah, this is 'MURICA. We don't have time to wait around for weekdays.

Unionhawk

It's the whole new thing with USPS parcel service to give them a competitive edge

Mail service is Monday-Saturday iirc

parcel service can be on sunday

user15026

8:15 PM

@Unionhawk That I knew, I still find that weird

Unionhawk

@AshleyNunn What, Saturday mail?

That's a thing

user15026

@Unionhawk Not here.

Unionhawk

You know what I find weird?

Milk bags.

two bugs

Moose are weird.

user15026

@Unionhawk Milk bags make perfect sense.

Unionhawk

8:17 PM

Saturday delivery makes some nonzero amount of sense

Because the USPS is dying and they need to stay ahead of UPS/FedEx

Tim Stone

Milk bags are the worst because then you have to know where the scissors are and who knows that?

Unionhawk

Which also justifies Sunday delivery of parcels

(only select parcels too, maybe. I think it has to be special service to qualify, like 2 day shipping, versus regular first class)

(so like, there's less stuff to deliver)

user15026

@TimStone They're in the silverware drawer.

Tim Stone

Lies!

Unionhawk

@AshleyNunn This never works out.

Tim Stone

8:19 PM

They're supposed to be in the knife block but I'll be damned if they ever are.

Unionhawk

Also scissors aren't silverware

user15026

@Unionhawk See, I only have myself to blame if they aren't.

Unionhawk

@AshleyNunn You... make a good point I can't argue with that >_>

Dangit

@Uni: 0, @AshleyNunn: I lost count

Mod abuse/lasers: Infinity

two bugs

@TimStone I have a cute pair of kitchen scissors that are part of this magnet on my fridge

user15026

@Unionhawk and the silverware drawer is where my cat can't reach :)

Unionhawk

8:20 PM

So you can't even blame the cat if they're gone?

user15026

Nope. Just myself.

Tim Stone

Yeah, you should totally leave the cat open to blame

user15026

So I am really good at remembering now

Unionhawk

That theory doesn't work for me

"Who's the idiot who left my shoes in this random spot?"

user15026

(Also I bought like 6 pairs of scissors and stashed them all over my house, and it is tiny so there are scissors everyplace)

user15026

8:21 PM

@Unionhawk In my house, I'm the idiot

Unionhawk

Yeah, well, in my house I'm the idiot and I still don't remember

user15026

You didn't grow up with milk bags, so perhaps that's why :P

Unionhawk

hmm

This seems likely

two bugs

Milk bags proven to increase intellect tenfold, Unionhawk still wrong, more at 11

Unionhawk

how rude

Making the people wait until 11!

djsmiley2k

8:23 PM

wtf is a milkbag?

Unionhawk

You could at least put that into the 6 o'clock news

@djsmiley2k It is a bag that holds milk.

Rapitor

@djsmiley2k canadians put milk in bag

djsmiley2k

o_O

Unionhawk

It a common method of milk delivery in Canada

This is a real thing

user15026

djsmiley2k

8:24 PM

I..... what? :/

Jason Berkan

It was common when I was a kid. No one around here gets milk delivered anymore.

Unionhawk

@djsmiley2k Yep

two bugs

Honestly, Milk bags make a huge amount of sense for everyone involved

Unionhawk

@JasonBerkan For, definitions of delivery including "in a store"

two bugs

I don't know why they aren't more popular

Unionhawk

8:25 PM

It's like how YouTube is a content delivery service

two bugs

I'm not Canadian, but I do live in Canada Jr (Michigan)

Unionhawk

You don't literally have content shipped to your door

Jason Berkan

@Unionhawk No, we had milk delivered to our door when I was young.

Rapitor

milk delivery was a service in the day.

Unionhawk

@JasonBerkan I know, I mean how I was using the phrase "milk delivery"

Tim Stone

8:26 PM

He meant that he was using it wrong and meant "distribution packaging"

Unionhawk

Nobody gets milk actually delivered anymore, but a bag is still a method of delivery

Rapitor

then people remembered leaving milk outside was probably a bad idea.

user15026

@djsmiley2k This is how milk (well, 4L of milk) is sold in the store

Unionhawk

Sort of

user15026

2L and smaller is cartons

Unionhawk

8:26 PM

I hate you all

>:|

Rapitor

hate you too bro

Tim Stone

@Unionhawk <3

two bugs

@Unionhawk Can you distribute your hatred in bags?

That would really be more efficient.

Tim Stone

@Unionhawk is one of the top producers of Hatorade

user15026

@Unionhawk Oh. sad forever

Unionhawk

8:27 PM

For definitions of "you all" meaning "@TimStone"

Naturally

Tim Stone

I am Legion

Unionhawk

And I guess by extension @TimPost, but to a lesser extent

Powerlord

@TimStone gets out his Whip

Unionhawk

@TimStone well, now that @OrigamiRobot is out of the hating everyone business

I hope this was hte final mission

as I lost everyone but 2 D:

312 days :D

444 aliens killed, 6 Soldiers lost. :)

Yuuki

wtf

I just managed to win a match where my opponent got Ysera and Sylvanas on the field (Hearthstone).

And he got Ysera on Turn 3.

@djsmiley2k ... XCOM?

djsmiley2k

YTes

badp

someone didn't get the news

djsmiley2k

First successful finishing.

Yuuki

Ugh, I still can't get over how I won that match.

Tim Stone

9:03 PM

@badp "With epic stuttering: THE WAY IT'S MEANT TO BE PLAYED"

badp

@TimStone I wonder if they got Shodan to speak that line.

Yuuki

Granted, he left, but as soon as it was my turn again, I was going to Mind Control Ysera.

And since he couldn't finish me off while he had two legendaries on the field, I'm pretty sure I would've won in short order.

badp

So I said "Thanks" in return and killed him

Q: Green numbers beside the items in smite?

What are the green numbers beside the items in smite ? i don't think so they are any amount of currency or an amount of power the god will deal.

smite

Yuuki

@twobugs I can't believe he didn't capitalize on having Ysera, two Dream Sisters, Sylvanas, and the taunt Totem!

I finished that game with 26 health!

Mad Scientist

@Yuuki How?

badp

@Unionhawk "recussitate"?

fredley

Scotland

Yuuki

@MadScientist He had a card that played a random minion from both player's hands.

badp

9:09 PM

YouTube ad: "10% off all smartphones! only today!"

It's 23:09

Unionhawk

@badp A misspelling of the word meaning "to revive"

badp

@Unionhawk resuscitate

Unionhawk

Yeah yeah

I forgot, chrome doesn't bother spell checking my caps

Yuuki

Okay, maybe it was Turn 4.

Either way, he played Ysera crazy early.

@MadScientist It was Ancestor's Call.

Mad Scientist

@Yuuki Nobody plays that card, which probably explains why you still won

Yuuki

9:11 PM

@MadScientist But he had such a lead on me!

I just barely managed to stay alive by buffing the health on my minions.

He kept trying to clear the board so there was that.

But if he went for hero damage, I would've lost in short order.

Mad Scientist

Anyone knowing how to play wouldn't use that card. But you're right, keeping Ysera on the bord for a few rounds is a guaranteed win, usually

Yuuki

@MadScientist Why? Is it too situational?

Mad Scientist

@Yuuki No, it generates so much card advantage, and some of those cards are vastly overpowered.

Yuuki

@MadScientist No, I meant why wouldn't an experienced player use Ancestor's Call?

two bugs

@Yuuki Hah. I've noticed an influx of people with every legendary ever who don't seem to use them well

Although I had a game recently where the guy played only gold cards. That was pretty nuts

Yuuki

9:16 PM

@twobugs But yeah on the turn he had those cards in play, he sacrificed his two Dream Sisters to kill my ogre.

Mad Scientist

@Yuuki It's a bad card. It's also too random, I've never seen it played. You're spending 4 mana to each get a random minion from your hand. You'll need to have a hand full of expensive minions for that to pay off at all

Yuuki

Can't remember the name, but it's the 6/5 one.

Mad Scientist

Boulderfist Ogre?

Yuuki

And then it was my turn and I used Shadow Word: Death to kill Sylvanas while I had no minions on the field.

@MadScientist Probably.

Mad Scientist

It's a 6/7

Yuuki

9:17 PM

And then he ~~surrendered~~ d/c'd the next turn.

badp

Yuuki

@MadScientist Maybe I was thinking 6/5 because it had been recently damaged.

badp

mental breakdown commence

maybe I just need to tap Q real hard

Yuuki

But when it was my turn again, I would've had the 10 mana to play Mind Control on Ysera.

Mad Scientist

The deck of your opponent was probably bad, with any reasonable deck having Ysera out for a few turns would have gained them an enormous lead

Yuuki

9:18 PM

@MadScientist Even if he had a bad deck, he would've won if he ignored my minions and went for my hero.

Mad Scientist

@Yuuki That's not an easy call. Usually going for the minions is the right choice, especially in a control deck

Yuuki

Lucky for me, he ignored my Stormwind Cleric while I removed some low level minions and healed it to prevent him from gaining too much of a card advantage.

Mad Scientist

At which rank was this?

Unionhawk

Goddammit people are zalgoing in Zeldathon chat and moderation commands aren't working

Yuuki

@MadScientist It was a casual game.

Which probably explains everything.

Mad Scientist

9:24 PM

I'll see if I can get a bit further in Arena

Jason Berkan

I looked at Xenonauts again, @Wipqozn, and I'm not interested, I have OpenXCOM if I want the "joy" of turning my soldiers around to see aliens standing right beside them.

Q: Dark Souls 2: How can i tell if the DLC is active?

This has been bugging me for a while now. I bought Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin for the PS3 recently. I received a physical copy of the Dark Souls 2 game (with the SotFS sleeve), and a code that would download all three pieces of DLC that are meant to come with the the Scholar version...

@spugsley Pretty good, yeah.

@Yuuki where'd ya go?

Yuuki

@spugsley Stayed in Galveston once. Paris, London, and Edinburgh for a separate trip.

spugsley

@Yuuki oh neat. I'm thinking of taking a couple days by myself up in Asheville. I need like an artist getaway or something. I just want to be in the moutains all day

Yuuki

@spugsley Unfortunately, I'm not sure how the quality is in less frequented destinations.

With places like Paris and London, you usually have a lot of choice.

spugsley

10:03 PM

@Yuuki lol Asheville is huge.

Yuuki

So you can kinda shop around.

spugsley

and there's tons of results

going through them now

Yuuki

@spugsley That's good.

spugsley

and reading reviews

Yuuki

@spugsley Yeah, definitely pay attention to the reviews.

I'd advise you to pay more attention to negative reviews and consider whether you could live with whatever they describe.

Rather than do a pros-cons list sort of thing.

Unionhawk

10:06 PM

Pros: Is a beautiful house. Cons: I will be living with a bobcat.

@Unionhawk You joke, but I've seen some crazy stuff on AirBnB.

"not a space simulator"

Yuuki

Oh wait, I have 2 other answers.

Never mind, false alarm.

Unionhawk

"where we want to have fun and not just pretend we're in space"

Yuuki

@Unionhawk Eh, answer is kinda-sorta. Little bit, but not completely /r/outside accurate.

Unionhawk

10:10 PM

No, it's not at all what would be happening if you were in space

Think about canopy breaches

Yuuki

> little bit

John

@Unionhawk Especially since @Unionhawk is never on Steam, and @OrigamiRobot is never in chat.

Yuuki

I didn't say 100% accurate to space in the real world.

Unionhawk

Not even, because space friction

@John This is demonstrably untrue

I had to check

Incidentally

Think about how unfun Elite would be if it really simulated space to a full realism perspective

RedRiderX

The borderlands humble bundle is so confusing...

RedRiderX

And I still feel like I wouldn't be getting everything...

Unionhawk

Yuuki

I'm saying some aspects are a bit accurate and others are not because the game would unfun otherwise.

RedRiderX

Are the base games worth it on their own or would I be missing out on some important dlc getting this bundle?

@Yuuki I'm pretty sure he's referring to Skyrim, based on his wrongly tagged questions, but I wanted to double check.

Yeah, Fallout is very science-fiction, not fantasy.

Because no one has any clue what the f--k the original intent of the asker is.

@Yuuki Do they also tell you to put enchantments on your guns in fallout-shelter before you evaluate the damage they do?
