« first day (1876 days earlier)      last day (3165 days later) » 

7:01 PM
@badp I am interested to see how linguistically confusing you find this Italian pop song.
 
@fredley I'm not new to it.
 
@Chippies What do you get for 100%-ing Ground Zeroes?
 
@badp :(
 
@fredley I'm rather interested in the opposite: what does it feel to you?
It's supposed to sound like English without being English, and if I'm sufficiently distracted it might even pull it off
 
ffs
it takes 2/3rds of my health in a single hit
and I'm not fast enough to actually roll away.
 
7:02 PM
@Yuuki It sounds like as you progress through Ground Zeroes you unlock special stuff for TPP's Mother Base
Soldiers, etc
I'll check it out more tonight
 
@Yuuki what are we talking about again?
 
@badp Odd.
 
By the way they aren't improvising
 
If I'm not listening, it sounds normal. If I listen it's extremely disconcerting.
@badp I am a ware
 
Which kind of ware
I'll have two
 
7:03 PM
/me leaves a summoning sign in the hope of becoming human again
 
Can I equip you in my accessory slot?
 
It doesn't help that the song/video is weird independant of the words.
 
@badp I have wares if you have coin
@RonanForman Blame it on being Italian
 
@fredley You might have wares, but you are a ware.
 
@badp I am a ware, and I have wares.
 
7:07 PM
@fredley That's my default action anyway.
 
@fredley Yes, and I am interested in the fredley ware.
 
Wareception,,,,xD
Sorry, CSS is killing me.
 
@badp So it's down to the availability of coin
 
@fredley I have 2,617 silver.
Also, I have 1e90 score in the highly acclaimed Exponent incremental by Tom Medley.
 
@badp Are they coins?
@badp You should submit that as a high score
 
7:08 PM
@fredley I'm waiting for the option to do so to appear.
 
@badp The option appears when you actually achieve a high score
 
@fredley Yes. That's why I cannot stop now, dear fredley ware.
Now can I equip you in the accessory slot?
 
@badp Coin
Coin is the answer to everything
 
@fredley For more information about the available coin sources, please reread
 
You need fredleycoin to purchase fredleyware
obviously
 
7:11 PM
You can also spend coin on chat stars
 
Can I spend coin on better photoshop skills?
 
@twobugs Yes
Coin can get you anything you desire
 
D:
Have you guys seen the little BB-8 Droid robot thingy !?
 
@James yeah it was in star list iirc
gives @fredley coins, waits for warez
 
7:19 PM
Kewl :)
 
Turns out the droid head is held on with magnets and not magic. I was surprised.
 
I wonder, has anyone tried to get around the game identification artifact requirement by trying to type out the music?
 
Haha
Well I am considering ordering one :D
 
Like "oh it had a song that went like this: doodoo do dooo"
 
@MadMAxJr wait, are you saying magnets aren't magic? O.o
 
7:21 PM
Looks like its a neat little toy
Kind of expensive though :/
And I did just finally break down and pre ordered an XBone
 
@James I haven't seen it yet
 
It's going to sell out at midnight anyway.
 
@James how do you preorder something that's been out for ages?
 
Uh
 
7:22 PM
He probably pre-ordered the new SKU
 
Its release is tomorrow?
 
With the SDD and the swanky new controller
 
Oh
The XBone
I am getting the Halo 5 Edition
 
Ah, nice
 
That is what broke me down to getting one
Otherwise not really interested
But.. nathan fillion .. damn him! :D
 
7:24 PM
The Xbox One has some cool games, not disappointed with my purchase
 
I'm enjoying my PS4.
 
I have 2 PS4s that I mostly just stream on, hehe
 
Apparently there are no online shenanigans in MGSV yet? Darn.
 
I play my PS4 more, but I mostly play cross platform games
 
But for me that is not really THAT weird.. My PS3 was mostly a movie player
 
7:25 PM
This gen hasn't been so great for exclusives, sadly
 
There just hasnt been something Only on the XBone that has made me want to get it.
Halo 5 will do it for me though
 
It was Forza for me. Halo doesn't hurt, though :)
 
I need to find my MGS anniversary collection so I can play peace walker...
 
Haha
I suck at racing games
I tend to stay away from em :D
 
I do too, but Forza has a very nice learning curve so it was easy for me to get into
 
7:26 PM
@James which is how you keep sucking :P
 
@Chippies Talent sir! Talent!
 
GT just felt too punishing to me. It's still a fun series.
 
the only way to get good is to play them until you stop sucking :)
the only 2 racing games I actually cared for was Gran Turismo 2 and NFSU (and NFSU2)
oh yeah, Test Drive Unlimited was awesome, too bad the 2nd one is balls
I only recently got interested in racing games, but there's not a lot to choose from on PC
 
GRID is pretty neat, you might like that
Burnout Paradise is a cool open world racer, but it's more arcade-y
 
@Chippies That friend of mine also has that one! Not an ancient version though.
 
7:30 PM
@Arperum ah, well, I had the regular one, but I got the ancient today :)
 
@Chippies Yea, ancient is a significant upgrade.
 
@twobugs GRID is too arcadey, the car physics are really floaty (in GRID2 at least, I haven't played GRID1 since it was released)
and Burnout Paradise is fun as well, but it's also too arcadey to be taken seriously
 
Yeah, I couldn't really get into either of them.
 
a Logitech G27 steering wheel is on my very far future to-get list
 
I've been playing driving games for years and I've never bought a race wheel. It just seems like it would be too real
 
7:32 PM
Play FUEL
 
really depends on what you're playing, imho
 
Plus they're generally expensive
I price check them sometimes and it's like $100+
 
@GnomeSlice too arcadey + pretty sure doesn't run anymore due to gfwl being dead
@twobugs G27 is 200-300$ actually
 
Jeez.
 
Mine still works on my Xbox 360 I hope
 
7:33 PM
I would love a racing wheel. Holding a controller at 85% left is difficult.
 
but it's high quality, leather wheel, steel pedals, has manual gearbox
 
Fucking better work
Definitely probably does
 
if you really like racing games, a steering wheel is a good investment, imho
 
@Chippies See this does sound awesome, I just don't know if it sounds $200 awesome
 
@JasonBerkan I always just end up feathering turning on a gamepad.
 
7:34 PM
@GnomeSlice it probably does, gfwl is only an issue on PC
 
Holding fine turns is too hard
 
@JasonBerkan WHy does you in game car keep turning to the right so you have to corrigate?
2
 
Best racing game on PC is Skydrift.
 
@twobugs there are cheaper options, especially if you're not interested in a gearbox at all
but if you want quality, G27 is the steering wheel you want
 
I probably made more spellin g mistakes than I used words in that sentence.
 
7:35 PM
@Arperum Corners. The optimal line might not be maximum turn.
 
@JasonBerkan After years of Mario Kart, this was one of the hardest concepts for me to grasp
You basically have to relearn driving physics :P
 
I only have GT5, which I picked up on sale for when GT6 came out.
 
with a steering wheel you have A LOT more control of steering, acceleration and braking
 
Well, relearn video game driving physics
 
@JasonBerkan corners are for pussies. MAX SPEED STRAIGHT AHEAD. The road will follow me at some point.
 
7:36 PM
I thought you were anti-controllet chippies
Controller ffs
 
@GnomeSlice I'm anti-controller for games that play much better on keyboard and mouse
 
But I've been a huge racing fan since Papyrus first put out Indy 500.
 
I played the fuck outta monster truck madness and motocross madness back on windows 98
 
@GnomeSlice motocross madness was awesome
 
And midtown madness omg that game
 
7:38 PM
@GnomeSlice that was my first racing game
well, the 2nd midtown madness
 
Probably the first open world game I played
Second one was better
 
I don't think I ever actually raced in that game
just went all around the city
 
You do some sick jumps in sanfran with the Panoz GTR1 and like land on top of buildings
 
I think we have different views of what constitutes a racing game.
 
There was a glass pyramid where I would go up
 
7:40 PM
The double decker bus was fun as shit to get like stuck under tunnels and stuff
And plow through traffic on the golden gate
Also for some reason I played those games with a joystick
Like, a flight stick
Big pimpin
Monster truck madness had all kinds of fun shit you could abuse too
You could abuse the rescue copter to drop yourself ontop of mountains and buildings and shit
 
I've never played it
actually, I've only played the demo version of motocross madness
 
And there was always one portapotty that shouted at you when you ran it over and pushed it into the lake
Motocross madness is basically ATV Off-road Fury
FUEL is probably my favourite driving game of all time
I say driving instead of racing because that's what I spent more of my time doing.

Q: On the in-game "watch", is the white needle's scale 400 km?

badpYou know the watch in the top right hand corner? In Easy mode, the white hand starts at noon and ticks down as you reach the Evil Lord, who waits for you at around the 400 km marker. Does that mean that, now that I'm playing the Mission to Revive the Force Knight at Hard difficulty, since the...

to make sense of my rambling
because I don't think "scale of the clock" is quite a comprehensible expression
I guess that's not something you would measure normally since for almost any clocks that's 12 hours, 60 minutes and 60 seconds
on the other hand, isn't the scale of an instrument the maximum that it can measure?
 
Can somebody post a gif in chat so I can test somethibg
Seems like everyone one comes on screen my music player crashes
Every time
 
7:47 PM
 
It stuttered for a second that time
There it go
 
The gif I posted is pretty big
 
Hmm, @twobugs's gif isn't loading
 
@KevinvanderVelden loaded for me
 
@twobugs ooh just slow then
 
7:49 PM
Bi had to reload the page, it also broke my text entry thing
 
It's not loading for me in-page but it's Yuuki's one from the star list
 
Double crash
 
@badp Vote to close: unclear if you're drunk
 
Relaunched Poweramp and now its not crajsing when I scroll up
Maybe it's just on first load
Somebody post one more
Before I have to go back from lunch in like one minute

The bees will continue until @GnomeSlice stops crashing.
 
7:51 PM
Nope, nothing that time... But I was scrolled up
Anyway, back to work
 
@Chippies Oh, I had just recalled that someone mentioned a copy of Ground Zeroes and for some reason, I thought it was you instead of @twobugs.
 
twochippies
 
@Yuuki I figured you meant to message someone else. I've only ever played demo of the first MGS
 
I HAVE INTERNET AGAIN

8:02 PM
RoRG just dropped from an act 4 cache/bonus cache for a friend. I'm confused. cc @Chippies
 
Holy shit
two allies in the same town
 
Doesn't Act 4 draw from all the other Acts for rewards? Or is that 5?
 
Three bees.gif in one screen! :D
 
 
(Yes my screen is in portrait mode, why?)
 
8:04 PM
@KevinvanderVelden Portrait mode best mode.
 
Diamond Bees
 
@MadMAxJr The DLC where you recruit The Pain
 
@MadMAxJr I have those!
In minecraft
(There is a reason bees.gif has been referred to as kevin.gif in minecraft talk CC @Unionhawk)
 
@Arperum are you sure it's act 4 not 5?
act 5 can drop stuff from any act caches, afaik
 
8:12 PM
Yeah, that's what I was thinking
 
@Chippies Yup. 100%
 
weird, shouldn't happen
 
Was that from the bonus cache or the normal cache?
 
I'm leaning towards a mistake on his side
 
Maybe bonus caches have modified loot tables?
 
8:13 PM
Some Rocket League players are secretly wizards. gfycat.com/DeepAngelicAmericanwarmblood
 
But yeah, I think he is probably just confused because I've never heard of that before
 
oh nice, there's hail right now the size of ice cubes
@twobugs I don't think bonus caches drop actual items
they usually drop crafting materials only, in my experience
 
You're probably right, I didn't pay attention to what they dropped
 
Space is messed up.
I'd like to see the Star Trek episode where they accidentally land on the glass planet
Actually, I don't think I would like to see that at all
 
8:17 PM
that's definitely something rick and morty would do, though

Wheee, giant thunderstoooorm
 
@AshleyNunn oh wow, it must have moved some fast, since it was here only couple minutes ago :P
let me know if you get hail too
 
@AshleyNunn Aww, so jealous
I love thunderstorms
 
Me too, but not when I'm about to head home sans umbrella
 
user15026
8:21 PM
I have my umbrella today, and I don't leave for like 3.5 hours, so I am hoping I will be fine
 
Well at least you're prepared even if it does rain on you. I just have to run!

Q: How do I increase the bond level for buddies?

mugen2099In Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, you unlock items and accessories via a bond level. Is there a way to increase the bond level? Will it affect other things (it would make sense)?

 
holy shit
I made it to the thing
except
except I haven't. Of course I haven't.
oh you can break those down
GUESS WHO IS RELOADING THEIR SAVE FILE
WHAT. ALBERT. NOT NOW ALBERT.
okay I wasn't ready so I quit the game for the fourth time on the death screen
I need an actual weapon for this. Sigh.

@badp you cannot hide from Java. It's in your car, man.
 
@AshleyNunn Java is in my wallet too, apparently.

THERE IS JAVA IN THE LOTTERY

Q: How can I get 6 explosive power?

Ashley NunnThere's some rubble I can't get past in the cave where my Nemesis is. Apparently I need to have 6 explosive power to get past it, but I have no idea what that means or how I acquire it. How do I get 6 explosive power so I can get past the impassable rubble?

So this is fine. I'm locked out of the room I have office hours in
 
user15026
That's going to make for interesting office hours.
 
@AshleyNunn If you're interested in some fun fantasy, Jim Hines' Libriomancer series is rather good.
It's about magicians that can reach into books and pull out objects from the pages.

@Frank I have read the first two :)
 
user15026
And I have the third one, I've just not gotten to it yet
 
@AshleyNunn Working on the second.
On the fun giant spider battle.
I love Smudge.
 
user15026
It's been a while since I read them. Maybe I should go back and reread the first two before the third one....
 
user15026
but gotta finish my Dragon Jousters re-read, then The Martian, then that might be up next.

@badp This confuses me as to why it is even a thing
 
@Wipqozn there's no better way to think of your child self than showing up in bright orange jumpsuits for a court of law session that has you as the victim and accused
@AshleyNunn "We’re more or less saving the kids from themselves, because they’re not seeing what’s going to come down the road."
 
user15026
@badp Yeah, that's the part where I was like "self no don't slam your face into your desk no good will come of that"
 
It's nice how you can conveniently be a child, a kid and an adult at the same time

"You're a kid now, you're a felon now, you're a kid, you're a felon, you're a kid, you're a felon, you're a kid, you're a felon, you're a child noooow"
 
@badp This is, in a nutshell, the maddening part of being a teenager. It's just not usually expressed in such a "you now have a criminal record" manor.
 
11:00 PM
@AshleyNunn Oh wow that's great
 
@Frank safe trip, I'm sure someone else will step up to whip the noobs with mean comments while you are out
 
@GodEmperorDune I'll have my phone, so you won't be completely deprived of my grumpiness!
 
Wonderful
 
user15026
ffs
 
user15026
shit is broken and I can't reach anyone
 
@AshleyNunn It's a result of US laws being in serious need of fixing
Like, this doesn't surprise me at all.
 
@badp I saw that headline yesterday, but I didn't realize until just now how completely absurd it is
 
@WIPQOZN IS UNAMERICAN: DATA ACCEPTED
 
@Wipqozn And unfortunately, someone in the comments on that article was probably right. The laws aren't going to be changed until we have more cases like this one and push them all the way up to the supreme court. Because no politician is going to want to come off as weak on child pornography laws.
 
@Unionhawk that kind of stuff is done constantly
 
11:23 PM
I'm sure
 
@TrentHawkins if anything, they will be extra strong on the anti sexting for even more fun when their dictures come out
 
Someone's flagged a crap load of link-only answers.

Proud of it too.
