6:00 PM

Kitten.

@OrigamiRobot I leave open the possibility, because there is the chance of someone that age having proper judgement. The chances of that are extremely low, I believe, so that's the wording I used. How you want to take that is up to you.

RPi Awesomeness

Oh wait..it's cleaning.

facepalm

Rapitor

Meanwhile on the Internet

RPi Awesomeness

Gosh my internet sucks.

I can't even load a webpage while streaming iTunes radio.

Origami Robot

@Frank I'm saying the wording you chose was poor and potentially offensive and that is how I took it.

RPi Awesomeness

6:03 PM

@Rapitor well

@Rapitor At least we don't have to deal w. PedoBear anymore...right?

Frank

@OrigamiRobot I could have made it a complete sweeping generalization. I don't see how being open to the fact that some girls that age with a kid could have sound judgement is potentially offensive.

Origami Robot

6 mins ago, by Origami Robot

@Frank I really don't think 99% vs 100% makes it much less of a sweeping overgeneralization.

Leaving yourself a tiny smidge doesn't get you off offense-free.

Frank

@OrigamiRobot You taking it as 99% is your choice.

Origami Robot

@Frank Then what should I take it as?

All you said is "non-zero"

Frank

@OrigamiRobot Because that's exactly what I meant. I'm open to the idea of the possibility.

Geez. I specifically used that wording because I was trying to avoid a fight about wording.

The good: that was the first phone call I can definitely say I received because my hosting provider didn't enable privacy mode for my whois lookup. The bad: I enabled privacy mode 2 weeks ago.

Origami Robot

You're the one fighting about working. I'm talking about the implication.

Frank

@OrigamiRobot What implication? I'm trying (and currently, failing) to imagine a scenario where a girl that age having a child represents sound judgement.

Rapitor

@RPiAwesomeness I don't know. it looks like much of them are migrating to one of the many other chans until stuff straightens out, but it's going to be a very... interesting future on the internet... It's probably wise to just leave 4chan alone to their own thing. When tumblr SJW's poked them back in July in backfired completely. now that SJWs are part of staff (if its even true...) the rest of 4chan will be out for blood. it's like opposite spectrums of people clashing

Origami Robot

@Frank If you want to say this girl has poor judgement, sure, she shot someone. Using the fact that she has a kid at a young age isn't the thing to use to prove that.

Frank

@OrigamiRobot It's corroborating evidence.

Origami Robot

6:10 PM

"I'm trying (and currently, failing) to imagine a scenario where a girl that age having a child represents sound judgement." that is the offensive thing.

Frank

@OrigamiRobot I'm really not seeing how that is at all offensive.

Rapitor

@Frank still talkin bout the shooter girl?

RPi Awesomeness

@OrigamiRobot I'd agree w. @Frank. Having a kid at 16 really isn't the smartest of things...you've got two years of HS left + college and, nothing against kids of course, but that kid may mean the difference between an education and dropping out.

Frank

@Rapitor Apparently we're now arguing about my statement about it.

I'm honestly not seeing how it's offensive.

FAE

@Frank Because you're making a judgement call on someone else's life when you have no idea what their circumstances are.

Origami Robot

6:13 PM

Do you know the circumstance of her having a kid?

Frank

@FAE Which is why I left it open in the first place. I'm sure there are circumstances where it would be. I'm not able to see any, but I believe they exist.

Origami Robot

Then why make such a sweeping generalization? What value is there in that?

user15026

@Frank ....her having a child has nothing to do with anything else

Frank

Okay, I don't actually think that's offensive. But apparently it is. Alright. I apologize.

Rapitor

@Frank opinions man, they aren't allowed here ;)

Origami Robot

6:17 PM

What point is there in connecting someone committing murder with having a child at a young age?

Even a little connection?

Should we screen all the young parents for potential murder capabilities?

Grace Note

I think we can halt that line of inquiry.

Frank

@OrigamiRobot We're not going to go here. I don't understand your viewpoint, but I'm willing to admit I may be in the wrong about it.

Grace Note

He apologized, harping on the viewpoint further is quite frankly pretty meh to do.

While we're on this kind of topic, though, I've had an announcement to make for this room and I feel now presents a good enough opportunity. No, it's not related to what was just being spoken of, just that since we've got a break in conversational activity I have an opening.

Origami Robot

6:20 PM

My feelings on the matter don't hinge on whether or not someone apologizes.

I'm going back to work now.

@GraceNote If you're stepping down, I'm going to start screaming doom and gloom.

RPi Awesomeness

@Frank I second this motion

Grace Note

We've been receiving multiple complaints about the subject of gaming journalism, harassment, and the wide net of individuals involved in the recent gaming uproar. Namely about it coming up in chat. I know... we're a video games site, this is a gaming chat and this is news relevant to gaming. But we're a gaming chat that's comprised of people, and we respect our friends and companions here. People have been asking for this subject to stop coming up - it makes users feel uncomfortable and unsafe to hang around here.

@GraceNote so what do we do when these topics inevitably come up

Batophobia

@AshleyNunn searches for Minecraft Animal Crossing mod

Grace Note

@Rapitor Ask people to stop, and if they don't immediately stop, flag. Don't engage.

Mad Scientist

@GraceNote While I don't have much sympathy for the topic, and generally think that it doesn't lead anywhere useful to discuss it, I'm rather uncomfortable with a blanket ban on a specific topic. We should have rules about behaviour, and not blacklist specific topics

RPi Awesomeness

lol. Was searching for something else and found this:

dangit. Didn't copy right

Here we go:

Batophobia

All I've found so far are texture packs, but this one does look really good

user15026

6:31 PM

@Batophobia That does give a really good AC look to things!

Grace Note

@MadScientist I think the behavior is bringing up topics that make people in this chat feel unsafe and uncomfortable. This particular topic is very strongly polarizing, but even moreso than that, it is a source of discomfort for some users, so it works to target the topic in particular because every time it has come up, independent of the origin user's intent, it causes conflict and discomfort.

RPi Awesomeness

I'm trying to think...what gaming uproar?

Batophobia

I like the Pitfall block

RPi Awesomeness

Okay. This is actually pretty well done. pcpartpicker.com/partlist

PCPartPicker's 404 page is awesome :D

If I enter a road accelerator at speed X KPH in Trackmania Nations Forever, what will be my speed at the end of it? We can assume that my direction is 100% straight.

trackmania-forever

Mad Scientist

@GraceNote To follow this to the ultimate conclusion, we would have to disallow even more topics that often lead to problems, e.g. religion, home schooling, parts of politics. I know we have a similar rule (that isn't followed consistently) to avoid those topics, but does that now also apply to other chat rooms?

RPi Awesomeness

@GraceNote Ah. That makes sense.

Grace Note

@MadScientist I'm for starters hoping that this will not have to be a permanent ban.

RPi Awesomeness

Severely tempted....

GTX 660 for $144

Do I get it?

Grace Note

I don't enjoy the topic at all remotely and kinda wish I'd stop seeing it on every corner of the net I go, but at the same time, it is for the very fact that we don't outright outlaw the discussion of politics and religion (which have indeed caused quite an uproar in here in the past) that I'd like to not have this be a permanent fixture, with all the implications therein. I do support the topic ban though, even if I do not support it.

As for how far spread this is, this is solely for the Bridge.

Mad Scientist

6:39 PM

@GraceNote I still don't agree with banning topics in general. I'd bring this to meta if I didn't fear that it would cause a discussion I really don't want to be a part of.

Grace Note

This is a specialized case, but even in that, I'd say that rooms in general have them the potential to prohibit certain topics of discussion that they feel are inappropriate to the room, so long as it makes sense within the room and is agreeable to those within it.

@RPiAwesomeness how much are you paying for the GTX750ti?

660 is faster for sure

RPi Awesomeness

@Chippies $20 less :P

I can't :(

Chippies

I'd say just stick with the 750ti then

RPi Awesomeness

New, a 750Ti is same as the 660 on sale. However, the 750Ti is also on sale.

Chippies

6:48 PM

oh wait, it's not even 660ti

RPi Awesomeness

BTW, is $20 off a good deal on a 750Ti?

Grace Note

@Powerlord September 13th apparently

Chippies

I paid 150$'ish for my 750ti in Canada

RPi Awesomeness

I'm kinda holding out for the release of new GTX GPUs.

Chippies

silly canadian prices

@RPiAwesomeness if you're willing to wait, that's a good idea

everything changes when new stuff gets released

RPi Awesomeness

6:52 PM

@Chippies Exactly my thought. Since the 750Ti is a lower spec card, hopefully the release of the new ones will spur on sales and drops in prices.

Only thing I don't like about the 750s/750Tis is the fact that they lack SLI/CrossFire ability. Not a big deal now, but might be nice later.

Chippies

@RPiAwesomeness imho, SLI is not worth it

I cannot get past this level. Any help would be awesome.

RPi Awesomeness

@Chippies Yeah, plus my mobo can't handle 2 cards at once...strange on a full ATX, but ohwell

Chippies

there was a time when 2x660ti were faster and cheaper than 680

but most of the time, it's best to just get a faster single gpu

and then you don't have to deal with crappy SLI profiles

@RPiAwesomeness not really strange, not everyone needs that capability

full ATX doesn't mean it's "better" than mATX

it just has the option of having more stuff on it if you're willing to pay for it

RPi Awesomeness

@Chippies And I know I won't. If I ever go SLI than it means I will be having a lot more money and building a brand new PC.

Chippies

6:56 PM

@RPiAwesomeness SLI is never worth it for a single monitor gaming (although 4K needs it still)

RPi Awesomeness

@Chippies Exactly.

Chippies

SLI is only needed when the best single gpu solution isn't fast enough

RPi Awesomeness

And I am definitely not at 4k res :)

Oh well.

Chippies

by the time 4K will replace 1080p, single gpu's should be able to run that :P

@RPiAwesomeness do they?

RPi Awesomeness

That's the only reason I didn't get a Radeon card

@Chippies Yeah.

Chippies

last I remember amd completely destroyed nvidia on linux

RPi Awesomeness

They've had support for far longer than AMD.

Chippies

6:58 PM

but yeah, I remember there being a huge fuss about nvidia not making drivers

and then they kinda had to

RPi Awesomeness

BTW: reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/2grm3a/…

Chippies

many many many years ago amd was bad on linux

RPi Awesomeness

NVIDIA Maxwell GeForce GTX 980 and GeForce GTX 970 Performance Numbers Leaked

Chippies

but nvidia was slacking, because of no competition

RPi Awesomeness

@Chippies Still isn't great, but definitely improving.

Chippies

6:59 PM

then amd picked up the pace and nvidia didn't

RPi Awesomeness

I strongly considered the R9 270.

Chippies

then the linux guy made a fuss :P

and nvidia kinda had to make better drivers

RPi Awesomeness

But, I was advised on several Linux forums (and AU) that NVIDIA was better.

Oh well. NBD

Plus, w. the new release, prices should go down, which is good for me :)

Chippies

I stil don't understand what happened to the 8XX series

RPi Awesomeness

Anyways...BBL. :P I despise school reports

Chippies

7:00 PM

there's only mobile gpu's in 8xx series that I know of

desktop versions never really surfaced

FAE

@MadScientist @GraceNote I have to agree with this assessment. I'm not exactly fond of the topic either, but it is possible to have a civil discussion about the subject without flying off the handle and using directly personal, insulting, and hostile language towards other people, which is what happened the other night.

user15026

The topic itself is not the problem, as we have proven ourselves able of having rational discussions on various divisive topics in the past, the problem was, well, what @FAE said.

FAE

I know we have fast and loose rules about what flies, language-wise in here, but the line's always been drawn at directing hostile language towards other users.

Chippies

@MadScientist we can't talk about home schooling here? o.O

oh wait, misread it

Rapitor

@AshleyNunn I think the topic itself is the problem since it is so polarized that it often times just ends up in heated debate or people wanting to back out of the conversation entirely as to not stoke any flames. It's very uncomfortable in general.

Ktash

7:12 PM

@GraceNote Are the complaints about the topic, about how it is being discussed, or about the attitude and words exchanged between specific users?

user15026

@Rapitor Well, yes, the topic certainly does not help matters, but I do not think that the topic itself should get all of the blame.

StrixVaria

@Rapitor Having witnessed pleasant discussions in this room on both politics and religion, I imagine civil discussion must be possible on any topic.

Ktash

^ this

FAE

@Rapitor Saying "We're banning the topic of discussion here" feels like a band-aid to a solution that's not even the real problem. The real problem here was someone's hostile behavior and reaction towards discussion of said topic. Telling people that they can "fuck right off" and "fuck you", in bold and caps, no less, is not something that should ever be tolerated here, especially from a mod.

Powerlord

I think we should ban discussion of Smash Bros. And @Wipqozn.

Ktash

7:14 PM

I missed the drama the other night (yay for me), but yeah, it sounds like the behavior is the problem, not the topic.

Powerlord

Mainly because Wipqozn is a polarizing topic.

Grace Note

I wouldn't be quick to assume that my presence here and this announcement means that's the only action that's been taken.

Powerlord

@FAE I get that, but often I've noticed that particular topic is extra sensitive and brings out the worst in people. Not just on Bridge (I'm not on Bridge often enough for that and I wasn't there for what you are talking about), but pretty much any form of social media it's a minefield.

Powerlord

@Chippies That's probably what happened.

Powerlord

@Chippies I'd forgotten to @ Wipqozn.

Chippies

@Powerlord yeah, I looked at your history :P

Anyway, that reference (Butler did it with the Revolver in the Hall) was a reference to a movie.

@Powerlord I assumed it was a Clue reference

Powerlord

@AshleyNunn That would be correct.

user15026

@Powerlord gives herself a cookie

Powerlord

Incidentally, Communism was a red herring.

I'm surprised that they got rid of Super Cleudo / Clue: Master Detective so quickly after it came out. I liked having 10 characters to play as instead of 6.

Jason Berkan

@MadScientist Isn't Prince actually the last fair difficulty (i.e. the AI doesn't get any bonuses)?

Mad Scientist

Maybe I'm misremembering. I think I mean the difficulty one above the fair one

Q: What happens if a different copy of a villager moves to your town?

I'm wondering what happens when, or if it's even possible if, a villager that moved from your town moves in from someone else's. If it's a different copy of the villager, are they allowed to move in? Is their history (their recognizing you, the letters they show, etc) combined with the one who mo...

Actually, none of them are 100% fair, but Prince is the fairest.

The AI always gets extra happiness, reduced research costs and reduced maintenance costs.

Q: Missing "Add to Wishlist" button after I tried to add a game to wishlist and got "Oops sorry!"

This has happened several times, but I've just realized that this weird "Oops sorry!" message seems to be causing it. Here is the most recent case I'm facing with Hawken. I tried adding the game to my Wishlist, but failed. It displayed the message "Oops sorry!" for a moment. I refreshed the page...

Humble Weekly Bundle: Merge Games

Why do you want to add a free to play game to your wishlist? It's already as on sale as it's going to be. Is this occurring with other games? — Unionhawk 9 secs ago

Though it looks like you can do that for some reason...

I'm confused

@Unionhawk There's other f2p games on the wishlist screenshot he linked

Unionhawk

@GnomeSlice Right, I saw that.

The first one says he already owns it, which is probably why steam won't allow a wishlist

badp

@GnomeSlice I never heard of any of those titles

@badp Bridge Constructor: Medieval just came out. It's pretty much what it sounds like. Lexica I just saw the other day, seems like some kind of casual scrabble thing. Deadly 30 I've been meaning to play, but haven't. You have to survive 30 days of zombies.

I didn't even know there was a battle group 2, might be worth checking out.

I don't know the others, except maybe Meridian: New World

Yeah, it's an RTS

@GnomeSlice I own Lexica. It's a hard word game but fun, if you like complex word games

RPi Awesomeness

@GnomeSlice That actually looks really cool...
