5:00 PM

I have on good authority that is not, in fact, @PrivatePansy's pony.

@Chippies is that a seeing eye pony?

You should've been more specific with your statement then

what a time to be alive

@Unionhawk indeed it is

> This is Scout, a miniature horse that works as a guide horse. I saw him and his partner at the Cincinnati airport and asked if I could take a picture as I had never seen a guide horse before! Yes, he did get on a plane! Please note the sneakers. These have become more and more accepted by guide horse users as horseshoes tend to set off metal detectors at airports.

I should probably lunch

5:01 PM

I don't think I have a pony. I mean, I'm pretty sure I don't, but it's hard to tell that there isn't a colony of then living under my bed right now as I type this

@Chippies The pony is still larger than the human.

@badp in what way?

@PrivatePansy All I'm saying is, you can't be certain there isn't a densely packed set of densely packed hitler comics right outside of your field of view.

@Chippies Width.

I have on good authority that this is @PrivatePansy's pony.

Why you should wear seat belts.

@Unionhawk You're a terrible human being, and so overdue for a reminder

@Unionhawk Thank you.

@Chippies Also holy crap yeah that is CVG I guess back when CVG had any flights ever

(now it is a sad state of affairs thanks to Delta Airlines)

(Cincinnati was a Delta hub. Now we aren't.)

I think there are more flights coming in slowly

So it's less sad but there's still only 1/3 terminals open

Is it Friday yet?

Yes.

It is lunch time though

Even if @twobugs is a liar

5:12 PM

It's always Friday somewhere

its-always-friday-in-iceland

It being always Friday would be terrible

Not as terrible as being @Unionhawk

Q: Where do I buy power specific outfit?

I pledged to Felicia Winters Power and currently I got rank 4. It should give me access to Pulse Disruptor but I checked a few controlled systems and couldn't find it on sale. Where do I need to look for it?

Q: Help! Cant save gta v!

I did the mission where you kill the last 3 o'neils and missions after that, and i saved. But whenever I play the game, it loads back to the mission with the last 3 o'neils! Anyone know how to fix?

it was however cold.

You guys enjoying this?

5:30 PM

I would prefer that weather over what I have here.

@djsmiley2k Where are these from?

It is 31C here and a bit humid.

@James iceland

@PrivatePansy I think @badp qualifies as a post-post-modernist

Oh, well that seems appropriate.. But I thought Iceland was greener than Greenland :D

5:34 PM

@fredley I had a feeling I was going to be the one who blames lack of sleep the most.

@James they tell me it is during the summer months...

we were there in feb. it wasn't. XD

@djsmiley2k :D

amazing place tho

@twobugs Used in France and Belgium AFAIK.

5:38 PM

and so I've apparently reached the point of Neptunia RB1 where I must do sort-of-pointless busywork to get the true ending

Close enough

hooray.

Q: Is the Connoisseur achievement broken?

The criteria for the Connoisseur achievement in Turbo Dismount is this: Try everything once. I could have sworn I did. I've tried out each vehicle, character and default level, but the achievement still has not showed up. Is the achievement broken? And is there a way to fix it?

Q: Maneuvering the ball effectively while in a corner

I'm starting to get the hang of this game but I'm having a bit of trouble when the ball ends up in one of the rounded corners on either side of the opponents goal. Often the ball gets struck and simply ends in a slow, high arc in the air. Is there a recommended approach or strategy to control t...

Q: XBOX 360 won't see video files in /Content folder of USB drive

I used my XBOX 360 to format a USB drive. When I mounted the drive on a Linux box, I saw an empty /Content folder and a "name.txt" (which appears to be the drive name in 2-byte-wide characters). I then copied a few MP4 files to the /Content folder, reconnected the drive to my XBOX 360, and went...

I started playing Rocket League on PS4. All of my friends bought it on PC. Grind my teeth, end up buying it on PC. The cost was worth having matches to play in that were friends and not randoms.

If there's a way from PS4 to join a PC lobby, I don't know of it. Anybody know if that's a thing?

@fredley Pft, this image is a lie.. If it was truth then everyone would have a solid black line to @Wipqozn

5:42 PM

@MadMAxJr I don't believe so

tho you're welcoem to add me

also @gnomeslice claims he plays

Q: Using the camera modes in Rocket League

In Rocket League, you can keep the camera facing forward or locked onto the ball. Usually I go the entire match using the camera that locks onto the ball. This gets a little disorienting when the ball goes high and your car scrolls out of view. When should I be using each of the two camera mod...

@djsmiley2k This looks like the kid was thrown forcefully into the snow and one of the legs bounced back.

hehe uyp

she wasn't!!

oh and I found a lan centre

spot the copyright infringement ;D

@djsmiley2k I'm gonna go with the shingle design.

That's proprietary Apple tech.

5:48 PM

@djsmiley2k Every FPS ever?

@djsmiley2k Oh, I thought that big rock on the left-ish was @Wipqozn.

LOL

user image

yay

and I think finally, a geyser...

user image

user image

That's an ambulance.

5:50 PM

GORE-ARE-US?

lol

@Arperum SLO-GO, RE:453?

hmmmm

northern lights?

user image

@Yuuki The "slo" isn't really part of it, that's just pointing out that it's a slovenian license plate.

I've also seen "Goku" a couple years ago.

@Arperum I know, it's just felt like adding it because it sounds like "slow go".

Which is not what you want on an ambulance.

5:53 PM

And Gone, and loads of other plates that start with go because area code.

@Yuuki Neither is gore.

~That's it now, got no omore left to share.

6:15 PM

45min to go until the longest day on earth ends

there's always tomorrow

Sweet, I just won a free downvote.

Cool, just saw Penn and Teller at work for a Q&A. Teller talked. It was weird.

You get a downvote, you get a downvote

Everyone gets a downvote

@MadMAxJr for reference i always use ball cam

constantly.

Yes sometimes it's a pita, but.... i dunno, i like it

6:19 PM

Yeah, it works for me, unless the ball is right overhead

Forward cam seems to be okay if I'm sitting in rear field on defense.

More adverts for Blood Bowl 2 in my inbox. The only feature I'm hoping for is more play commentary/responses.

I am not typically a sports fan but Rocket League and Blood Bowl are sports I kind of wish we had. Maybe less the Blood Bowl. We don't really need Ogres and Chaos Lords out and about in the off season.

@MadMAxJr Do you mean that you wish there was a real-life equivalent of Rocket League, or that Rocket League itself (the video game) should be a sport?

I like Boxing video games, but there haven't been that many great ones

Fight Night Round 3 was probably the best

@twobugs Somehow I've never played one despite liking "normal" fighting games quite a bit.

@StrixVaria In reality that would be kind of awesome, but immense safety concerns. I'd be okay with the game itself fleshing out 'season' play like other football/soccer games. Managers, sponsors, trading players, etc. :D

They're interesting. They're sort of between a full on sim and something arcade-y like Punch Out!!

Although I do love Punch Out!!

6:26 PM

@MadMAxJr This would be awesome. It's already an official ESL eSport, so hopefully it grows into something big.

If Punch Out has taught me anything, it's that a man can defeat a man 3 times his size.

Hmm. Wonder how big of a dev shop Psyonix is.

Q: How to get a Head of the Serpent

What is the spawn timer of Wraith of a Shissar in Plane of Fear? It looks like it used to be 7 days, and then reduced on TLP servers.

Man, I once got to the plane of air

those were the days

6:38 PM

That reminds me of some silly things my old D&D group got up to.

LessPop_MoreFizz

user image

Yes, that is a giant inflatable minion blocking traffic.

One of my friends played Wild Mage with some homebrew rules and he managed to switch a localized 30-foot radius sphere with the Plane of Water.

@LessPop_MoreFizz I watched that movie on Saturday. It was meh.

I liked Despicable Me because of Gru and his kids. The minions weren't really what stood out to me.

yup

thats why i loved The Last Of Us

if they made it about the zombies, blargue

hmmmm

dare i leave 10 min early to get the earlier bus and risk the wrath of khan?>

I dunno, do you have a friend named Spock?

Or one named Kirk?

lol

6:42 PM

@Yuuki But... they didn't have 500 million worth of marketing! How could you POSSIBLY like them more?!

@twobugs I know this is sarcasm, but I just liked Gru's relationship with the kids. It was heartwarming.

Minions were comedy, which is fine, but not something I'd like as the focus on an entire movie.

I never saw Despicable Me, but that's what I heard. I hate that they meme-ified them

I honestly hate when pretty much anything gets memeified.

@twobugs To be fair, they were pretty obvious meme-bait.

I guess...

BRIDGEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I'm sick and whiny

6:48 PM

I thought they were part of the lame new wave of memes

most sudden cold ever

LessPop_MoreFizz

@spuuuuuuuuuuuggggggggsleeeeeyyy

Take drugs.

Kill a bear.

user image

@spugsley you need some hawt pics to warm you up

was fine this morning, went out to the grocery store and then BAM instant sick: headache, sore throat, chills, scratchy throat. Wtf

@GodEmperorDune no art today. Just sleeping and computering from bed

@Yuuki I wish I could cuddle him :(

6:49 PM

Nah I meant I would link you hiddles... But mobile makes that difficult

Red pandas are pretty vicious.

Red Pandas are way cooler than Giant Pandas.

Go home red panda, you're drunk

@Yuuki I feel like it forgot how to panda

Q: Minecraft wont run with JAVA 8

I own a 32 bit. Window 8 computer. And when i TRY to run minecraft i get this. java Hotspot(TM) 64-bit VM warning: using incremental CMS is deprecated and will likely be removed in a future release.

6:52 PM

@Lazers2.0 They make 32 bit computers anymore?

And you're using 64 bit java?

@Yuuki I like the pat at the end. "You win this round, buddy"

Flash is Dead!!

NEW VIDYA?

Proposed flag for Houston.

Original submission.

@Lazers2.0 Windows 8 is 32 bit compatible? wat.

@Arperum there are windows 8 32 bit versions. Why they exist is beyond my imagination

7:01 PM

@Chippies Inertia is a pretty good explanation for all "why does this exist" IT questions.

even more confusing is why are there computers sold with windows 8 32bit preinstalled

@Yuuki it makes some sense for upgrading

if you have 32bit windows 7, you can upgrade only to windows 8 32bit without doing a clean install

@Chippies So you can play Sim Tower in it's 16bit glory

@twobugs but... can you?

I haven't had a 32bit OS since Vista...

I think there was an article somewhere about people taking a single machine all the way from 3.0 to 8

there's always DOSbox for 16bit stuff anyway

7:02 PM

Maybe even earlier

@twobugs I vaguely recall that

the end result wasn't that great, I think

@Chippies Yeah, I just don't like fiddling with DOSBox. It's always flaky, in my experience.

@Rapitor *this site best viewed with Ned's Cape 1.0 or lower

@Unionhawk 10 thousand nopes

@twobugs I've never used DOSbox, so I can't comment on that, but I also haven't had the need to run 16 bit stuff since, well, I switched away from WinXP

7:04 PM

@Rapitor "The land of ten thousand nopes" would be a great name for various things

All I really want is the promise of a Next Gen Sim Tower to finally be fulfilled

It'd make a great chatroom name

I've been waiting the better part of my life for that

for example

But yeah, flash is dying, RIP

@twobugs Oh jeez, I remember Sim Tower as a kid.

So much time spent on that.

And I always sucked at placing elevators.

7:06 PM

I remember how early on quarter changes meant you had to redo all the prices

Once I made it far enough that people didn't want to leave my tower after a quarter change and it was like man, I've made it big.

> A great eye, lidless, wreathed in flame...

It's not loading. Or did I just get fredley'd

Oh. Now it's loading

@Yuuki seems fake. Is it fake?

@Chippies Fake as in Photoshopped or staged?

unless makeup is that flammable. probably fake

7:10 PM

@Yuuki staged

@Chippies Still funny.

@Rapitor Some makeup is that flammable.

I just can't imagine anyone fanning their face when it's on fire

that's scary

pushing your hand against the eye would extinguish the flame and seems like the most likely reaction

Some people don't know how fire works

7:11 PM

@Chippies Eh, I could picture it.

Even if it's staged, someone's eyelashes are on fire.

@Yuuki might not be real fire if it's staged

@Chippies What would you replace real fire with? Candy canes?

@Yuuki CGI

but Candy canes might work too

@Yuuki Real ice.

Like I said, some people don't know how fire works; are so used to blowing out candles that logically that's how fire goes out

7:14 PM

"I do declare, this face fire is positively sweltering"

"Don't blow on the campfire you are going to put it out" "You literally have no idea how fire works and I am banning you from handling it."

That was my best Southern Belle impression

@twobugs "I do believe I am on fire"

> When I was in the service industry, every blind person I had come in asked for their change in 1's. Obviously this isn't practical with big purchases, but with day to day stuff, it is the easiest way for them to be sure they are not getting ripped off.

> What job did you have that had so many blind people coming in?
>
> He sells referee equipment.

@Yuuki I saw that thread yesterday.

7:18 PM

It was pretty great.

Man, I'm so popular.

I'm basically the Fonz.

It's more like you're so unpopular that you wrapped around to the other side of the scale.

You're basically the worst.

if he wrapped around wouldnt that make him the best

Yes

@Rapitor But he's still the worst.

7:20 PM

@Wipqozn is so terrible, he has actually successfully underflowed to become the best

It's a genius plan

It's The Wipqozn Worst-certainty Principle.

Thankfully, we're using a specially designed data type to store his Worst-ness quotient.

Oh wait, no. It would be the Wipqozn's Box of Worst-ness.

The Worst-certainty Principle is where you cannot both know the worst-ness and starbait-ness of a given Bridge post at the same time.

I'm on mobile, I am immune to starbait!

Bridge-physics is best physics.

7:25 PM

@Wipqozn's box principle - don't open it, there are dirty socks inside

8

> Wipqozn - A negative state, caused by or pertaining to wipqozn. The corporation was in deep WIPQOZN, after a general stock crash. The new CEO vowed to loot the assets of the company and "skidaddle"

Defined in 2004.

Impressive.

Most impressive

@Yuuki It's from an episode of Dilbert I believe.

I think I want a Bae Watch shirt

@MadMAxJr backstab

7:36 PM

Also I just saw DOPE in theatres. It was really enjoyable. Cc @LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp ~~backstab~~ facestab.

@badp I don't think that's a valid move in boxing.

user image

@James Is that still in the game or did it get removed in the Disco Bandit overhaul?

@Yuuki No idea

If the overhauled the disco bandit though then I have even less desire to play the game

He was awesome!

This is a vastly improved version of the Disco Eye Poke. Instead of poking your opponent in the eye, you stab him (or her, or it) in the face. This is sure to cause him (or her, or it) some problems.

7:43 PM

@James I think they overhauled the Disco Combos to "Disco Momentum".

And made it so they can use knives instead of ranged weapons.

(They get a skill that allows damage from knives to scale with Moxie instead of Muscle)

Can I still stab someone in the face so hard they get distracted?

It pulls your best knife from inventory too, it doesn't need to be equipped

Cause if not then.. well.. Pft to that game

Congratulations, you loathe Kingdom of Loathing.

It actually does look like they improved Disco Bandit a lot.

7:44 PM

Dilbert Season 2 Episode 11 The Return

I think disco face stab is still there

Momentum works like the Seal Clubber's Fury mechanic.

@MadMAxJr that's just what they call limit breaking

No @yuuki, fury builds over fights, momentum all has to be in same fight

@GodEmperorDune I meant in the sense that it's a class-specific resource.

Unlike MP.

Although I guess I should've said "is like" instead of "works like".

And the Sauceror has Soulsauce.

7:49 PM

Hey I think iotm dropped

Oh?

Doesn't look like it.

70s volcano charter

Still shows Pack of Every Card in my Mr. Store.

Might be sub only until rollover

@GodEmperorDune Ugh, another charter?

Q: Read saved steam password

Is there any way to "read" a saved steam password? I have my password set in steam for ages and recently I wanted to log into my account from my mobile device, but I just cant remember my password so far. In addition I want to upgrade to Windows 10 the next days but before I do that I need to k...

I was expecting a Tome or Libram.

If we don't get one this year, I'm almost certain January's IotM will be one.

user15026

fights bats forever

7:52 PM

Dat boss bat

user15026

I assume at some point I get past the blocked entryways in the bat cave?

@GodEmperorDune It doesn't look interesting so far, but I guess minimal spading has been done.

@AshleyNunn Yes, you can open them either by defeating screambats in the Guano Junction or by using sonar-in-a-biscuits dropped from mobs fought in the Guano Junction.

@AshleyNunn yeah, look for sound based items

user15026

So far no luck

Do you have any +items equipment?

user15026

7:54 PM

Going to make myself get dressed, then get ice cream, then come back home and go back to KoL and the bats

Are you in entryway or junction?

Also, you should look into making a fairy familiar.

They are cheap in the mall too

I wonder what this new charter's thing is going to be.

user15026

@GodEmperorDune Junciton

7:55 PM

Conspiracy Island had ridiculous leveling, Dinseyland has the meat farming.

Yeah they show up eventually

@AshleyNunn Screambats will eventually occur and equipping gear with +items will increase the chance of sonar biscuits dropping.

user15026

I don't have anything with +items

Did I give you a Tuesday's Ruby?

Granted, that doesn't come with a +items enchantment until Thursday.

Thursday's Ruby

7:59 PM

@Unionhawk thatsthejoke.jpg

@AshleyNunn I think the only way you'll get a significant amount of +items right now is by getting your hands on a fairy familiar.
