(Yes, it is basically tomorrow in Japan right now, I know.)
 
Unavailable. Cool.
 
@StrixVaria Not surprised
Probably easier to go to walmart or something
Or better luck rather
 
Okay, "it'd be a shame if..." or any other version of that line needs to be outlawed from the English vernacular.
 
@Unionhawk Metacritic 98/100 after 55 reviews...
Hot damn...
 
4:06 PM
@Yuuki she is after she gets out into the real world
 
@Yuuki I personlly wait to trust MC reviews until after a few months have passed on so that the more thorough reviews can come in.
 
@GnomeSlice Still not human. Is Flynn a digital-human hybrid when he gets digitized? No, he's a human represented digitally. There's a bit of a nuance there, but "human hybrid" implies that humans were involved somehow in the ISO's creation and the whole groundbreaking thing about ISOs is that they spontaneously formed out of the wilds of the Grid.
That neither Flynn nor any human was involved in their creation.
 
That whole movie was full of holes wasnt it
 
I'm not talking about plot holes in Legacy, I'm talking about how the director for TRON 3 seems to have a misunderstanding of what Quorra is given what's revealed in Legacy. Granted that seems a bit rich coming from someone not involved in the plot development.
 
@BlueBarren True, I guess Best Buy isn't too far out of the way on my ride home.
 
4:19 PM
@Unionhawk the hype is real. I just wish I didn't need to work tomorrow.
@MBraedley Yeah I guess you can run straight to the final boss if you want
I'll definitely be watching a video like that once I beat the game
god the hype is real
 
Today and tomorrow are going to go by soooo slowly
 
sigh I'm hitting max rep for an itg question.
 
@badp Stop hitting yourself. Stop hitting yourself.

Welcome to how legal itg works
Everyone: is this a valid itg? checks oh it is and it's answered upvotes answer
And occasionally "finally a user who read the rules xd"
 
@Unionhawk Popularity makes for such skewed questions.
 
So about the Joy-Con issue, there's a Day One update that fixes it, but make sure to restart the Switch with the Joy-Cons attached.

@Yuuki source?
 
@Unionhawk Incidentally it is kinda-sorta my fault
But also blame Stack Exchange
 
4:43 PM
Like I said, who cares right now no elections active
 
let's not forget to blame @Wipqozn
 
Someone cared when there were active elections but shhh
My son's got a fever of 103 so busy

@Avery wut
 
@Avery d/dx(sinx) is cosx, right? It's been awhile since I've done calculus.
 
@Yuuki ... Am I supposed to click this or not? You say spoilers and I don't want those but you also say they're minor so my desire for info is peeked
 
@Yuuki (I'm terrible at calculus)
 
@BlueBarren Very slight spoilers.
 
How "slight"?
 
4:50 PM
I still know nothing about the story after reading that.
 
Well it won't load
so I guess that solves my dilemma
dammit
it loaded
and I didn't want to know that
 
Sorry, I didn't think it was that bad.

AHAPrecision

Proposed Q&A site for supporting the work of researchers around the world who are studying precision medicine approaches to better predict and treat cardiovascular diseases and stroke.

Currently in definition.

 
Well it's subjective so I can't blame you. Also that might constitute as story spoilers
in a sense of what's not in the story
 
4:53 PM
story spoilers for what's not in the story?
i don't think thats how spoilers work
 
@GodEmperorDune I'm sure it has something to do with aerodynamics.
cc @GodEmperorDune @Wipqozn
 
@Yuuki spoiler alert: month old fruit
 
@GodEmperorDune it for sure can, especially if you're expecting for something to follow convention
Say we have an anime where each season hero X gains a new power but then in season 9 hero x doesn't gain a power up
if you're told that before hand you'll know what to expect
and have some sort of idea what happens or in this case doesn't
 
@BlueBarren SCRUBS ENDED AT SEASON 8, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT WITH THIS "SEASON 9"?!
 
but video games are not an anime in that you have a different experience if you just follow main quest or do sidequests or just wander the world exploring it
 
5:00 PM
Also, how do you know that the reviewer didn't just do this earlier in the story than was expected?
I mean, at no point does the reviewer actually say that it's not a part of the story.
 
@GodEmperorDune Sure video games aren't anime but when your franchise has had over 10 games and your games are known for following certain patterns then I think the lack of something can count as a spoiler because that thing had become convention
@Yuuki well this logic is good for spoiler recover for thing I spoiled for myself
but I would still count the original statement as spoilers
 
It's possible that it's part of the story but not story-gated.
Like, it's part of the story but you can obtain it at any point in the game if you feel like it.
 
Again all this does is help mitigate the fact I feel like something has spoiled
But I have your theory versus something someone said who's played the game
All in all it's not that big of a deal but it's like, "aw man, I wish I would've discovered that on my own"
 
@Avery I couldn't do that without a calculator.
 
@BlueBarren so i guess don't read anything marked slight spoilers
 
5:09 PM
@GodEmperorDune I try not to
 
@Frank I don't think you could do that with a calculator.
 
But I'm human so I don't even listen to myself
Hence I clicked @Yuuki's link
 
Hmm... do I ask for a half-day off tomorrow? Or do I just wait to get home?
 
@Yuuki suffer with me, wait the day
 
> So one of my friends started a new campaign. We were a band of plucky adventurers sent by the king to investigate some disappearances happening over in the merchant quarter. Guardsmen were disappearing, once or twice a month, every month, like clockwork.

As we searched, we noticed that it followed a strict time-table, every 27 days a new guardsman would disappear, never to be heard from again. Eventually we narrowed it down to the Warehouse district, and as we readied our weapons by the light of the full moon, prepared to face whatever monster was devouring these guardsmen, we found we h

@MBraedley It's flickering.
 
5:25 PM
so um, I'll be in the UK for a conference on 6th and 7th of April.
 
No, it isn't, must just be a bad link from a question I'm looking at.
 
yesterday, by fredley
I imagine it's probably somewhat related to PEBKAC
 
Or that

should I go straight home on Saturday, or is there some brave soul who is willing to endure the badp headcanon breaking experience
 
5:26 PM
@badp London?
 
@fredley the conference itself is in Brighton.
 
user15026
@Yuuki that was an excellent pun set up
 
but on Saturday I'm "free" to be wherever
 
@badp Unfortunately I am busy that Saturday, at least in the afternoon/evening
Potentially around Saturday morning but don't know for sure yet :-(
If you're in London Friday evening that could work though
 
how is Sunday looking?
 
5:31 PM
@badp Given that this is London, probably rainy.
 
I'm sure the average London hotel has good enough wifi to keep me busy for a day.
That's what people do when they book hotels yes?
 
@badp Sunday is good
 
GameStop hasn't cancelled my order but they haven't shipped it yet either.

EB Games called me an hour ago reminding me of my preorder
it's like thanks guys but don't worry I haven't forgotten
 
@Yuuki It was pretty sunny when I was there.
 
5:46 PM
@Yuuki actual we have snow in London
London, Ontario Canada ;)
 
speaking of captchas, apparently google is working on a kind of captcha called "invisible captcha". I made a test site here, check it out if you want.
 
@Avery Huh, it rejects me, even though I pass the checkmark captcha, and I'm inside the Google corporate network
 
that's beta for you
 
@murgatroid99 I got through, also on Google corporate network.
 
oh btw, @murgatroid99 while at it, there's a bug on the official sample code. Where can I report that?
 
5:58 PM
@Avery Look around wherever you got the sample code from.
Every team accepts reports differently.
 
It rejects me if I do this:
 
Oh, it's just because I had JavaScript disabled
 
I'm surprised "Tronald Dump" isn't a DJ yet
 
I hate picture captchas
 
6:00 PM
But you know that's reasonable
 
That's expected behavior
Captcha reuse sucks
basically it is function onSubmit = function(token) { and that fails on firefox (I'm no javascript pro so I'm not sure if any other browsers would accept it BUT I believe this is more common and it works so meh) function onSubmit(token) {
 
@BlueBarren enjoy random.irb.hr/signup.php
 
@Avery ooo I got a simple one
 
@Avery I like how they make you prove that you're human by giving you a math problem that Wolfram|Alpha could probably OCR and solve
 
6:03 PM
@murgatroid99 well it's an image so it atleast prevents you from copying and pasting it into wolfram, you'd actually have to type it
 
@BlueBarren photomath.net/en
@murgatroid99 Nice, thats for reminding that. I added a noscript part.
 
@Avery WHY DIDN'T I HAVE THIS WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL!?
 
@BlueBarren That's what I meant by "OCR"
Optical Character Recognition is the process of extracting text from image data
 
@BlueBarren Because it wasn't invented/written yet?
 
@Yuuki I was in high school 3 years ago
@murgatroid99 wolfram doesn't have that yet, does it?
 
6:06 PM
@BlueBarren iirc it was out back then
 
@BlueBarren It does, but you need a Pro subscription
 
@Avery stop, now I'm just heart broken
 
Well, it takes image input. I don't know what it does with it, because I don't have a subscription
 
@murgatroid99 ffs, do people actually pay money for a wolfram subscription?
they definitely deserve the money
 
@BlueBarren api is a big income for wolfram afaik
 
6:07 PM
but who really needs the functionality of what the subscription provides regularly?
 
'hello yes i am special independent prosecutor here to take over after mr sessions is recusing himself' https://t.co/oPCUCT2LJc
 
@BlueBarren Probably the same people who use Mathematica regularly. i.e. Mathematicians
 
@murgatroid99 But they know that stuff already?
by stuff I mean math
 
@TimStone "yes i am vladimir... vutin."
 
@BlueBarren You're joking, right?
 
6:09 PM
@murgatroid99 mostly
 
wolfram alpha isn't just a math solver
 
Knowing how to do math doesn't mean you want or need to perform calculations every time you need something calculated
 
wolfram alpha has tons of data sources and, hell, data in itself
it might help statisticians etc a lot (you can search for like countries with less than 500000 population)
@murgatroid99 I see nothing I can use there. ugh.
 
@Avery You could post on the Discussion Group and see what happens
 
@Avery my favorite is stuff like "land area of Anchorage metro area/land area of Netherlands"
(Incidentally, 2.016)
2016 confirmed
@KevinvanderVelden confirmed

@murgatroid99 done
 
@Unionhawk are you trying to blame me for 2016? That's not cool
 
@KevinvanderVelden listen, I just ran the numbers and somehow Anchorage, AK and the Netherlands are involved in the 2016 conspiracy
It's unclear how or why, but the numbers don't lie
(i actually just randomly got that number when picking from the list of "largest metro areas in the US by land area")

Q: Which Machines can I mount?

VemonusWhen starting the game, I was under the impression that you could mount any overridden Machine, regardless of size (like riding a Behemoth in Shadow of Mordor). However, out of the handful of species of Machines I've overridden, I've only been able to mount the Striders. When I overrode Watchers ...

 
I put that Switch cart in my mouth and I'm not sure what those things are made of but I can still taste it. Do not try this at home.
 
@TimStone Mmmm
 
Yep
 
6:49 PM
Piggybacking onto my burger discussion from yesterday, please do not put the patty straight onto the bun.
 
Even though a well-grilled patty should have some crust on it, it will still drip moisture onto the bun.
Which, again, causes the bun to degrade.
 
So you must have a separator like cheese, lettuce, or a tomato slice?
 
Or just eat the patty
 
I think that's one of the key things about five guys, yeah
It just melts through the bun
 
6:57 PM
@Yuuki But ketchup and mayo goes directly on the bun, so there will be moisture on the bun already
 
But that's mostly a function of ketchup and mayo, yes
 
@MBraedley Mayo and ketchup are more viscous than the grease-ish moisture that drips from the patty.
 
I feel the problem only really begins when you take the first bite.
Also, you americans don't cook your burgers properly to begin with. Ground beef should be fully cooked.
 
I agree with that.
Rare is for steaks.
 
In a restaurant setting medium well is typically ok
But that's as low as I'll go
 
7:01 PM
burger math
 
Ketchup and mayo actually do function surprisingly well as separators for the bun and patty because of their relative viscosity.
Mayo and most ketchups doesn't penetrate very far into the bun.
 
My wife made a london broil for dinner last night and I was able to eat like 10 bites of it before I had to stop.
I don't understand what people like about steak.
 
I live in a city known as 'cowtown'. We enjoy steak here. A lot.
 
I wouldn't.
 
We have this thing called 'Burnt Ends'
 
7:05 PM
Anyway, my wife was upset that I ate so little, and I didn't understand. If you make a food that I am on the record as hating, then be happy I was able to stomach as much as I did.
 
When you cook/smoke to prepare a large slab of beef, a process that takes six to eight hours, you take the end piece of the meat slab, and put it back into the cooker for a few more hours until the edge is crisp. They cut this up into small, forkable cubes. It's meat that just falls apart and is very tender past the crisp crust.

Q: Old 1990's point and click game, first person adventure, odd story

I'm not sure I'll be getting my Switch tomorrow.
But that's probably just pessimism.
 
I'm definitely not getting a switch tomorrow
But that's mostly "I don't have funds allocated" on top of "it'll be sold out"
Though tomorrow is payday
Hmm
Could check anyway

Q: A game spelled with three letters?

pagie_So, I was once playing a game on coolgames.com. It involved three "jelly"like characters and you could switch between them with several letters on the keyboard. The name of the game was three letters long. I believe one jelly was green, one orange and one blue. What is this game?

 
it also doubles down as a meter of how much of this bit of 2016 we have been through
 
@Unionhawk Supposedly, some Best Buys have stock upwards of 15 or 20 outside pre-orders.
In my case, Amazon has just shipped 1-2-Switch but Gamestop has yet to ship the console.
 
I'll probably check it out
 
So I'm not sure if I'll have the Switch on my doorstep by Friday afternoon/night.
 
If nothing else I can move my budget goal down to 400 for just console and zelda
And look to get Mario kart another time maybe
Although having Mario kart would be nice for St Patrick's day...
 
7:30 PM
Oh yeah, Best Buy said that Zelda's ready for pick-up tomorrow.

Gah. I don't know what game to play.
 
@Arperum qwop
 
@Arperum what game have you just finished
ICEY is next on my list
 
@badp Probably none. I still need 35 achievements to 100% afterbirth+. It's annoyingly loads of them.
 
8:41 PM
@Arperum stopped playing.
hm
maybe give Owlboy a shot?
for a change of pace.
 
Don't own it, not going to buy stuff right now.
 
Axiom Verge?
 
Nope, I don't have that many games, only like 175 or something.

Also free
 
i like warframe, but it is best played with friends
 
Yeah
I've been playing it uuh too much lately
Do you still play it?
 
i still have it installed, havent played in probably 2 months or so though
 
If you wanna play space ninjas in space sometime add me on steam =p
 
@Arperum Transistor?
 
@Arperum Guacamelee! Gold Edition!!
so good.
Dust: An Elysian Tail is nice too.
 
@badp I should play that at some point. I'll start downloading that and the other suggestions you are throwing.
 
8:50 PM
@Arperum why did you stop playing Cave Story+?
 
Oh hey, I have exactly 250 games on steam now
 
@KevinvanderVelden sent request
 
(I mean it's not a crime just curious)
 
@badp I don't know, that was forever ago.
 
8:51 PM
ah
that game is fun too.
I just went first through the games you never played.
 
@BlueBarren if you installed the dark themes I sent a while ago, I made an updated version that supports autoupdate. Check it here.
 
@Arperum Fez, Hyper Light Drifter, and Psychonauts get my recommendation.
