@fredley who is david boreanaz?

Yuuki

@GodEmperorDune Depends on which show you're more familiar with: Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Bones.

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki bojack horseman

but ok, i know who it is now

thanks

arda

IT WORKS

badp

@GraceNote pokemans ruin lives

arda

(built a pc for a friend)

took about 8 hours (inc. eating and stuff), but it works

badp

10:17 PM

'lympics opening ceremony at the top of the hour you guys

Kaz Wolfe

place your bets! how bad is it gonna be

badp

The opening ceremony is probably going to be all right

The actual event… we'll see

arda

@KazWolfe terrible

badp

I want to hope the horrible has been overstated and things will turn out okay

In forty minutes we'll have humanity's very first 8k broadcast of a real event

GodEmperorDune

i read there already has been an olympic murder

badp

10:21 PM

with 8k cameras and 8k computers processing an 8k feed transmitted with 8k protocols to 8k monitors in Tokyo

Dragonrage

@badp so, 40k's?

Kaz Wolfe

8K?!

arda

9K

9K+

badp

Yup, they're preparing for the 2020 Olympics in Japan

GodEmperorDune

@arda what, 9000?

badp

10:23 PM

They want to broadcast the whole thing at 8k

Q: Pokemon go wont let me sign in

okay so I was playing all yesterday and I tried to sign in last night, Well during the loading screen it was stuck and asked if I wanted to sign out. so I tried to sign back in and it's just stuck at the spinning pokeball screen. HELP

pokemon-go

GodEmperorDune

wow that's pretty organized of them, to try it out in advance

badp

arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/08/…

Dragonrage

@badp what difference does it make?

GodEmperorDune

@Dragonrage bandwidth, i imagine

Kaz Wolfe

10:24 PM

@Dragonrage for those really rich few with 8K

Those that donated a lot to the IOC

Or the IOC president, who can probably afford it with all of his "kickbacks"

Arperum

@Dragonrage great throws and the like are bugged. They currently actually lower your capture chance

badp

Well they're taking the opportunity to invest and gain in technology, patents, know how, etc.

GodEmperorDune

@Arperum i bet they inverted a comparator

Kaz Wolfe

@Arperum not quite. They don't boost them. They only lower them the amount that each throw will typically lower it

Arperum

@GodEmperorDune they also don't give xp

Dragonrage

10:25 PM

@Arperum thats amazing.

badp

That's kind of the whole point of hosting the Olympic games: the stimulus

Arperum

@KazWolfe the tweetal linked in some recent question seems to imply in lowers chances

Dragonrage

next update, they will probably make it so that using a berry makes the pokemon run away immediately.

and remove the run button

Arperum

On mobile, can't search

Kaz Wolfe

@Arperum Yeah, it only lowers it by the each-throw rate.

There's no specific loss from those throws AFAIK

they probably accidentall screwed up the execution part of the throw code. Which is very Niantic of them.

badp

10:43 PM

Oh BBC we know you know who the final ten torch carriers are going to be

Drop the charade

Kaz Wolfe

Thanks, NBC. They're delaying the broadcast

badp

Well they can't here. They're already starting at 1am

Kaz Wolfe

US has to wait until 7:30

That's fantastic

Yuuki

So I suddenly remember a children's edutainment show from the early '00s called Sagwa the Chinese Cat that was supposed to help kids learn normal kid stuff along with Chinese.

user15026

10:51 PM

@Yuuki I remember that show

Yuuki

@Ash Well, remember that she had a brother and a sister, right?

badp

/cc @fredley on that BBC "team GB" commentary

Yuuki

Brother was named Dongwa and the sister was named Sheegwa, IIRC. The Chinese for those two respectively was 冬瓜 ("winter melon") and 西瓜 ("watermelon").

badp

because they know it's the last time GB goes to the 'lympics am I rite

Yuuki

Sagwa, on the other hand, is 傻瓜. Or "idiot".

badp

10:54 PM

@Yuuki ouch

Yuuki

That's a fun tidbit I remember.

GodEmperorDune

@badp lol @fredlexit

badp

@Yuuki that's certainly a lot of strokes for writing "idiot"

user15026

@Yuuki That I don't remember but it amuses me

badp

lol they're replaying the London 2012 thing with the Queen and Bond

Yuuki

10:57 PM

@badp Well, I think it's one of the nicer ways to write "idiot".

badp

@Yuuki aesthetically?

Yuuki

As in politeness.

GodEmperorDune

@badp that was fun

badp

Well now that I study the glyphs

we clearly have a shower arm and a foldable chair with a picnic box on top, and a tent, closed

Yuuki

傻瓜 is usually what you call a child who is being particularly stupid.

badp

10:59 PM

Why would you be giving your picnic box a shower?

Wasting precious camping water on a chair and a basket?

Dragonrage

@badp maybe it needed cleaning

badp

Probably not very smart

Oh it's starting

Probably the countdown thing

"we have a sea"

"we have the best sea"

"and streets"

"terrific streets"

"don't think too much about what's in between"

"cars too, beautiful cars"

"dancers, the best dancers, and trains"

"also triangles"

"also time goes very slowly"

Dragonrage

Someone watching the olympics should stream themselves watching the olympics so people who aren't able to watch the olympics can watch the olympics.

badp

Flash photography

They are trying to use cushions as drums and failing beautifully

Dragonrage

badp

11:05 PM

They make up for it with some fireworks to distract us

"reinvent rejoice replant"

but first represent the 'lympics dudes

user15026

In this game I am playing I need to save up butter to run a scanner to look for diseases

badp

National anthem o' clock

Dragonrage

@Ash why do you need butter to run a scanner to look for diseases?

badp

(before the olympic anthem?)

Dragonrage

taht doesn't make sense

user15026

11:07 PM

@Dragonrage So then my doctors can cure the diseases

badp

They're playing it live. One dude with a guitar

and some violins

Dragonrage

@Ash why is butter required?

badp

Pretty chill

At least they didn't pull a Turin 2008 when they had a kid sing it

Dragonrage

@badp has initiated the Olympics Play-by-Play script.

badp

Ugh

@Dragonrage my text livestreams are the best livestreams. Also thunderstorm and lightning

"we go back to the beginning of life" mechanical spiders enter the stage

As we know spiders are the original life form

Thanks, spiders

Literal footage of bread rotting away

user15026

11:11 PM

@Dragonrage I have no idea

Dragonrage

@badp can you give us updates on zika virus counts?

badp

@Dragonrage Green tentacles spotted

Flies roam the tentacles

and run away, humans have arrived to the virtual forest.

GodEmperorDune

wat

badp

doesn't look at all like a forest, but they're already tearing it apart

The virtual forest creates a plaid pattern

"to recreate indigenous arts"

GodEmperorDune

@badp coverage best olympic coverage

badp

11:14 PM

They're doing circles with the virtual forest in hand

They finally rearrange the forest into three thin— HERE COMES EUROPE

NBN-Alex

Is this the badp by-bropucts I keep hearing about?

badp

We come in and make the virtual tentacle forest white behind us

and then yellow

Gonna wreck ur shit

Sad music

and then we fuck off. Goodbye Europe

and the virtual forest kind of gets abandoned

NBN-Alex

I guess they brexited?

badp

fuck the virtual forest, the slaves are here

They also leave a white trail and spread sugar cane smears in the virtual forest

Green tentacles give way to coloured geometry

Who likes themselves some brown triangles?

Asians that's who HERE THEY COME

Red banners (China) held by people dressed in Japan flags

Didn't know this was a thing chat did

Anyway we zoomed into the geometry and pop comes the city

suddenly it's sim city o' clock

but only if you're looking at it just the right way

Oh hey is that favelas

Acrobats roam the faceless like ants

Music rises in pitch like it's out of a horror movie

Dragonrage

@badp it is magic.

badp

11:24 PM

Every one is spider man

Are you spider man

GodEmperorDune

urmom is spider man

Dragonrage

you should write a book.

badp

Now we are the spiders

The spiders are us

Very poetic

Suddenly white boxes

Is it bitcoins

Dragonrage

except it would probably give everyone nightmares and by the time they finished it, they would be insane.

NBN-Alex

Wha?!

badp

11:26 PM

I dunno but it's coming from the houses

THEY ARE BUILDING A WALL

A BEAUTIFUL WALL

A TERRIFIC WALL

NBN-Alex

A wall of bitcoins, truely the american dream

badp

THE WALL IS THREE BITCOINS UP

Dragonrage

@NBN-Alex anyone trying understand @badp will just become as crazy as he is

badp

It's so beautiful they immediately deconstruct it so they can study it better

and an airplane takes off to spread the news about the wall

user15026

@NBN-Alex Stop fighting it, it's easier if you just let it happen

badp

11:27 PM

"Americans are probably watching this" lol bbc

but here's some cgi

NBN-Alex

@Dragonrage wait, this isn't the olympic ceremony?

user15026

"Parkour dancers depicting of course the 1973 invasion of 14 foot long pink cockroaches that descended from the hills and infested the city." - apparently my friends are also liveblogging this on facebook

badp

"guys! We have BITCOINS! And a killer mustache"

"I guess also we're flying? and it's like, the lights are up at night"

also this dude

this dude is singing, with a hat

and this lady, she's walking to the dude, dressed in shiny

Dragonrage

@NBN-Alex it is the olympic ceremony as seen by @badp

badp

"the lines she leaves on the floor recall of neymar's architecture"

a.k.a. more tentacles

BBC keeps warning about epilepsy

She's walking quite the distance, and here comes the favelas, I mean the break dance

She never made it to the dude

RIP

GodEmperorDune

11:31 PM

wat

badp

HERE COMES THE DUBSTEP

Drop that beat, acid like green purple floor thing

then the fat lady sings and she's got 20 kg worth of hair

GodEmperorDune

i need to bookmark this somehow so i can read it when i watch the opening ceremony later

badp

now a lot of ass shaking, it must be the 70s

user15026

There's very little of the Olympics that interests me, maybe that makes me a bad person

badp

but they have come and gone, time to pull the bob slider things

I thought those were summer 'lympics? Doesn't matter, more dudes sing

Favelas are all about them dances you guys

are they rapping? I think they're rapping. Very chill rap battle

Q: Spintires mod maps installation

According to the source website the process is to just copy some files into the game folder, but after several attempts I can't manage to get the mod maps running, I get an error every time I try to play them. Anyone here has succesfully istalled a mod map on Spintires, I would greatly appreciat...

mods

badp

they want to win the war though

NBN-Alex

@Lazers2.0 NOT RIGHT NOW LAZERS

badp

Now, legs

Capoera break dance things

Mostly legs tho

Here comes the fire

Here leaves the fire

Fireworks reset our attention span again

It's now glitch city

It's the red army on glitchyy floor vs three smaller armies, white yellow and also-red

The bigger red army splits in four. It's a disaster

then the armies split in eleventy bajillion and they all dance together? Is this what war is

We are fifteen minutes into the mueve la cintura segment, please send help

AT LEAST THATS WHAT I THINK THIS LADY IS SAYING

the stadium approves

and then she says, "let's dance, it's a tropical country"

No help is coming you guys

Welcome to hell

You never stop dancing in hell

You stop dancing, you die forever for realsies

user15026

Okay, the little fruit themed games in the Google app for the Olympics are kinda cute

badp

More dudes in white are singing, they must be the angels?

@Ash yeah have them a whirl this morning

Now it's Romanian flags on the ground?

user15026

11:41 PM

I'm horrible at most of them, especially the ones where you have to move your phone around but I like them anyhow

badp

"it now resembles a lava lamp going a bit wild?", I quote from the BBC commentary

More fireworks

Concentric circles emanating from the red spot on the map

It's the onion again

THE CLOWNS ARE COMING??

no they're leaving

end of party

Time for brexit now

NBN-Alex

@Ash spider grape was the hardest in my opinion

every time the olympics come around, it reminds of my dad. he made the 84 USA archery team.

NBN-Alex

clap clap clap for the live stream

Dragonrage

but he decided not to participate, and opened a business and got married shortly after

badp

@Dragonrage that's cool

I guess you're ambivalent about it

If he'd went you might not be here today

GodEmperorDune

@Dragonrage he didn't want to make the trip? :p

Dragonrage

@GodEmperorDune i think he didnt want the time commitment that wouldve been required when he was about to get married
