Yass, got tickets to go and explore the Crossrail tunnels

5pike

@fredley this?

fredley

@5pike Yeah

Once a year they let you go down: crossrail.co.uk/construction/open-house-london

Only 1000 people get tickets, I got some.

5pike

@fredley Well, that's nice. Not my cup of tea, though.

GnomeSlice

I knew he was British

Kevin van der Velden

Did you forget @fredley is british again @GnomeSlice?

@GnomeSlice I'm in London for 2 weeks with Frank, didn't you know that?

GnomeSlice

No?

Yeah, I'm visiting Frank for 2 weeks from this weekend

Q: Restarting Omega Ruby and Alpha Saphire?

I gotta question that there may be one answer to, but here it goes: Can you reset Pokémon and keep all your Pokémon you may have moved into another game? Let me explain, to say, if you put all your Pokemon from OR/AS in, maybe X/Y, can it still delete all of your Pokémon even if its in another ga...

Q: How to escape the skulls (mist unit)

I'm spending my first days with the Metal Gear Solid V : Phantom Pain and, although I escaped alive from them, I'm still wondering if there is a smart way to escape from the mist unit (skulls) in the first encounters with them. I have just run away and eventually it worked out.

Who's in London or surrounding area between Sept. 5 - 12, and wants to meetup?

I am Canadian. @Frank is British. How difficult can it be?

Ronan Forman

11:30 AM

@fredley I should look into coming down for a day or something then.

fredley

@RonanForman Yeah. It's a busy week for me unfortunately. Could potentially do Saturday during the day, but depends on flight times.

Or maybe Sun 6th? I'm busy for a bit during the day (although anyone's welcome to join in), but otherwise free.

Ronan Forman

Oh right. I'm busy this weekend, never mind then.

fredley

Depends on @Frank

U.S. county clerk Kim Davis jailed for contempt over same-sex marriage licences

I'm really happy that is a thing which happened

5pike

@Wipqozn Hahaha, nice.

Wipqozn

11:43 AM

> Davis said she hopes the legislature will change Kentucky laws to find some way for her to keep her job while following her conscience.

I hope they don't.

She could never be allowed to practice law again.

or oversee traisl. Whatever it's called for judge.

5pike

@Wipqozn Yeah.

Wipqozn

Point is, she has no place taking part in the legal process as an officer of the court.

Martin Sojka

@Wipqozn I'm pretty sure all those butchers turned vegan would like that as well.

Alas, life sucks, and you sometimes have to pick one or the other.

Wipqozn

@MartinSojka "Life sucks" doesn't really apply when the hill you choose to die on is bigotry.

GnomeSlice

Apparently I embarrassed the shit out of myself when my friend invited me out with his friend group a while ago to a bar

My social skills still need a lot of work

Martin Sojka

11:48 AM

@Wipqozn I think it especially applies there. "So you are in favour of slavery and don't like the niggers roaming around freely? Too bad. Life sometimes sucks. Deal wih it."

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Oh? How so?

GnomeSlice

Just... Stuff.

Wipqozn

did you make out with the bartender, only to later discover the bartender was really a statue?

GnomeSlice

Also apparently self-deprecating humour is not cool in groups.

And that's like my best humour

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice It depends on the group.

Also how well people know you.

GnomeSlice

11:50 AM

Well they were all hipsters, my friend said he doesn't like them much anyway

Wipqozn

Also in my experience your self-deprecating humour is just you insulting yourself.

GnomeSlice

Well then

fredley

The key thing is to make sure it's actually humour

Wipqozn

So you should, like, stop doing that. You're rad dude, so you shouldn't put yourself down.

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn she's not a judge, she's a clerk. She issues certificates, it's basically a bureaucratic position where she (if she were doing her job) doesn't have any power

GnomeSlice

11:52 AM

Also I'm just loud

And like everybody heard everything I said

Kevin van der Velden

@GnomeSlice you should probably move to britain, self-deprecating humour is their number 1 export

GnomeSlice

Apparently one girl heard me ask my friend of "that tall girl" was single lol and made a face at her friend

If

Oh well, not like I'm gonna see any of these people again

A smooth sea never developed a skillful sailor

Also it didn't help that I got pretty pasted off like two beers

Kevin van der Velden

@GnomeSlice Being loud is pretty loud

GnomeSlice

The girl was the girl I was talking about

Bah

Also my back hurts from the gym and I beg I'm gonna have a fuckton of stuff to lift today at work

@GnomeSlice Bet you're not as loud as me. I'm really loud.

Kevin van der Velden

12:12 PM

Agglutinative language

An agglutinative language is a type of synthetic language with morphology that primarily uses agglutination: words may contain different morphemes to determine their meaning, but each of these morphemes (including stems and affixes) remains in every aspect unchanged after their union, thus resulting in generally easier deducible word meanings if compared to fusional languages, which allow modifications in the phonetics and/or spelling of one or more morphemes within a word, generally for shortening the word on behalf of an easier pronunciation. The term was introduced by Wilhelm von Humboldt to...

@KevinvanderVelden I understand some of those words!

Kevin van der Velden

I haven't read any! :D

Martin Sojka

@fredley Exactly. It's "egész" ("whole"; adjective) + "ség" (forming an abstract noun out of the previous word; "wholeness" or "health") + "e" (possessive suffix; "health's") + "re" (sublative case, "onto something", "to something", "on something"; "to (your) health's")

Frank

It'd be nice to meetup with many of you.

Is it perfectly okay to post a "Erm.. How do I get this to run? And has anybody got <game name> to run?" (Basically a technical-issue question that most likely nobody (even the developer) will know the answer to?)

Frank

@aytimothy Do you get an error?

aytimothy

Nope. That's the thing I'm worried about: "Unclear what you're asking about"

Frank

1:32 PM

Do you meet the system requirements?

aytimothy

Of course :/

Frank

Sounds like it would be an acceptable question, then. Just remove the second bit, as it doesn't help.

@aytimothy describe what you have done and what happens when you try to run the game and it might be a perfectly good question

and I mean, you got @Frank's badge of approval, it doesn't get better than that

Yeah, I know how the site works :) - The problem is that it's really vague... And I mean vague to the point where the game doesn't provide logs :/

Reading through the code, it's obvious that the developer who wrote this is quite intelligent. He's just completely inexperienced

There's an attempt at building his own static asset pipeline, which, while commendable, was obviously far too much for him to handle

The result was... *sigh*

Okay, I'm surprised that nobody's stumbled across this game and there isn't a tag for it here. The current Steam version of Platformines is broken. I can't seem to get it running at all, and the program seems to terminate itself right after being launched. Has anybody got it to work? If so, h...

@PrivatePansy Exactly. It's frustrating, really.
