I am bored of this conversation, here is Derpy nodding to dubstep

alexanderpas

@kalina WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina The poor looping is making me twitch

There's a repeated frame in that gif

kalina

@YiJiang'sEvilClone fix it fix it fix it

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina Fine. *mumble mumble* They don't pay me nearly enough for this...

Wow, Photoshop crashed when it tried to open that gif.

Derpy really has special powers

spyder

20% more WUB WUB

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

10:03 AM

Huh, the Derpy gif crashes Photoshop consistently

That's... something

kalina

what can I say, I can cause you pain and suffering from the other side of the planet without even trying

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina You are a terrible person

kalina

like I said, I am just amazing

fredley

@kalina InF

> Omg we have water tortoises!!! Cute!

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

fredley

10:07 AM

@YiJiang'sEvilClone NO

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

There, fixed the damn gif

kalina

spyder

@kalina You've heard this sound? I think modesty died.

kalina

@YiJiang'sEvilClone this should be part of the PONIES protocol

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina Too late.

kalina

10:08 AM

@YiJiang'sEvilClone WAT

@spyder if you are taking me seriously, you are doing it wrong

@kalina The script can only read from one page of transcript

kalina

@YiJiang'sEvilClone you mean you still haven't overcome that self made limitation yet?

spyder

@kalina Oh, I forgot about tag <irony>

my bad

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

The script is fine. I'm not going to waste more time on something which I hope I will never have to use anyway

kalina

@YiJiang'sEvilClone but... the challenge! The sense of achievement!

plus, if you make it read from the whole transcript, you can adapt it to automate the people I have immolated page

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

10:12 AM

Meh

kalina

it's ok, I'm just trying to break you so that you enjoy conscription more

day #1: "THANK GOD, I'VE ESCAPED! NO MORE KALINA!"

day #7: "I am certainly enjoying this silence, the constant buzzing has gone away... aaaah"

day #32: "I have never been so relaxed! Who would have known!"

day #89: "I do miss the pony pictures though... unleash the P.O.N.I.E.S... sigh"

day #180: "six months in!"

Q: Is there any way to see weapons damage?

When i click on weapon in my inventory the only stats i am given are: minimal strenght needed to use the weapon, what ammo type the weapon is using and how much it weights. So far i haven't found any way to get more stats shown. Is that even possible? If not is there a mod that would allow me to...

day 291: WAR WAS DECLARED

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina You are a terrible person. And we love you for that ❤

kalina

@YiJiang'sEvilClone awww that's the nicest thing anybody has ever said to me

I will exempt you from my next round of purging people with fire

badp

10:17 AM

L2kalina means how to operate kalina, not how to emulate one

like, "scratch under feet for hysterical reaction"

spyder

@badp ROFL

kalina

@badp I am inoperable, I break every usability guideline, I follow no accepted protocols and even if used correctly there is still a good chance I will set fire to you

@badp "scratch under feet to receive foot in face"

(I am extremely ticklish, it wouldn't be a voluntary foot in face although I wouldn't feel sorry for you)

spyder

fredley

@kalina Note to self: restrain kalina before attempting tickles

kalina

@fredley no human restraints would ever be sufficient to hold me down

fredley

10:21 AM

That's pretty much today's creepyness quota used up

@kalina There are other, more robust restraints available

kalina

@fredley are they designed by humans?

pitiful humans

badp

Mountain rocks aren't

Simply stack enough of those

kalina

@badp but you wouldn't bury me under rocks

that would be mean

badp

You wouldn't download a pizza

kalina

I would download a pizza if such technology existed during these primitive times

if I was able to send food via SE chat

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

10:29 AM

@kalina You can 3D print a pizza now, but it won't be edible

kalina

I'd be a lot more popular around 11am GMT, when the van full of bacon in bread turns up

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina If that were possible, we would all be getting @AshleyNunn's cupcakes *squee*

kalina

that's fine, everybody else can have bacon then

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina To be fair, basic military training will only last 9 weeks. I'm told that in all likelihood because of my condition I would be given a desk job after that

spyder

@kalina if I was able to send slaps via TCP/IP... :D

fredley

10:33 AM

@kalina Presumably

@badp I WOULD IF I COULD

kalina

@spyder then you'd run away scared, I guarantee I've had more practice slapping people than you have

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@fredley BUT YOU CAN'T SO YOU WON'T

kalina

@YiJiang'sEvilClone does that mean you'll be skiving off on chat instead of doing work?

because I think that's wrong. You go to work to do work, not sit on chat talking to internet people

...

;)

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina If the Ministry of Defense's website is indicative of the state of their IT systems, I think if I were given a computer it would be running Windows 95

fredley

@YiJiang'sEvilClone You wouldn't shit in a policeman's helmet

kalina

10:36 AM

seriously? No biters?

I was braced for the tsunami of mocking and cheap come backs and you all ignored it?

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina It's too easy. Not worth it.

kalina

DISAPPOINTED IS NOT THE WORD I WOULD USE TO DESCRIBE HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS

fredley

@kalina If we did, you'd just set us on fire with your derision anyway

I don't want to be on fire

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina AND SARCASM IS NOT EXPRESSED IN THIS MESSAGE. HO NO.

spyder

@kalina do it properly, with the back of the right hand :)

kalina

10:40 AM

@spyder don't try and school me in the art of slapping

@fredley statistically, @YiJiang'sEvilClone has more chance of being set on fire than you do

mmm fanta

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina Can I claim my get-out-of-being-set-on-fire-free card now?

kalina

@YiJiang'sEvilClone on account of you manually creating the statistics by hand, yes

here is a fireproof life

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

\o/

kalina

it will withstand 3 attempts to set you on fire

but not from purges

fredley

@kalina Potion of Fire Resistance +3

kalina

10:48 AM

@fredley What do you think this is? Warcraft? No potion is going to save you from me.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina He's trying to enchant his diamond armor in Minecraft

fredley

@kalina Anything D&D related

spyder

@kalina what you know about slaps?)

kalina

@fredley disneyland after dark?

fredley

@YiJiang'sEvilClone It's dangerous to talk to @kalina, take this:

kalina

10:49 AM

@spyder listen, if I slapped you, your world would end long enough for me to seemingly vanish

fredley

@kalina Dungeons and Dragons

kalina

@fredley isn't that better known as D&D

fredley

@kalina That's what I said

kalina

failure

fredley

@kalina Yes. That was rather bad

kalina

10:51 AM

% isn't even near &

alexanderpas

kalina

@alexanderpas I didn't know D&D had aircraft in it

fredley

@kalina IT LOOKS THE SAME

kalina

@fredley er...

alexanderpas

actually, it is:
% is Shift+5
& is Shift+7

Grace Note

10:53 AM

@alexanderpas I have that book.

kalina

@alexanderpas and thus, they're not next to each other

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Sent a support email to Dell who promised a turnaround time of 24 hours. More than 50 hours later, still no reply.

badp

On the italian keyboard layout % is Shift-5 and & is Shift-6

kalina

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Dell... </endofstory>

fredley

@badp I'm gonna go with Italian keyboard, yeah

kalina

10:53 AM

@badp your keyboard layout is weird

@fredley ...

fredley

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Do a live chat with them, that works for me

@kalina That's my story and I'm sticking to it

badp

@kalina it's absolute crap. We have ready access to ç which is not used in Italian, but curly braces are three key chords

kalina

@fredley yeah and I use a swedish keyboard

alexanderpas

@GraceNote how about this one?

kalina

@badp same with the swedish layout

Grace Note

10:54 AM

Do not.

badp

also, since we can accent any wovel, we don't have dead keys

Grace Note

@badp Wovels, teeheehee

alexanderpas

@GraceNote neither do I ;)

fredley

@kalina Skicka inte in mig i brand.

Grace Note

It just sounds funny~

kalina

10:55 AM

@fredley tag inte talar svenska

fredley

@badp I am on a mac, so if I can remember the arcane gestures I can accent any wovel too

@kalina Google talar svenska, därför alla talar svenska.

kalina

morning @GraceNote you seem up earlier than usual

@fredley I didn't even google what I said

Grace Note

@kalina I wake up an hour-ish before now every day.

kalina

hence the tag/jag mixup

@GraceNote daylight saving is EVIL

fredley

@kalina Din grepp om svenska är beundransvärt.

kalina

10:57 AM

sets fire to @fredley

Grace Note

Erm, my awakening time adjusts for DST just fine so it's not because of that.

Also we've had it for over a month now, I think?

kalina

oh, well

it's still evil

I will get used to it just before ~August

and then it will mess with me again

fredley

@kalina The October one is great though, extra hour, for *free!

kalina

is it really October?

hmm

fredley

Using Google 2-factor auth with a Pebble feels like the future

Grace Note

11:06 AM

@fredley It's not free!

It's an hour you spent 7 months prior.

You're not getting anything at all out of the exchange.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina Ah, looks like I'm now tied with @fredley for the second most well done person on the Bridge

fredley

@GraceNote But it is *free!

kalina

@YiJiang'sEvilClone true but you have a limited immunity

fredley

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Pork should be well done, not so sure about pony.

Grace Note

What, couldn't afford full immunity to fire?

kalina

11:08 AM

@GraceNote if you're like me, it's way more than an hour spent

I waste entire days of my life being late and trying to catch up

@GraceNote I could provide a full immunity, it would remove the fear factor though

Grace Note

@kalina The fact that I wake up as early as I do and that I adjust within the first day speaks to how I handle it.

Really the only thing I hate about DST is having to set all the clocks time and time again.

kalina

I lose at least a full day by hitting snooze

you'd think somebody with a sleep pattern like mine, which gets made up as I go along, wouldn't suffer the change as much as I do

I thought it said 'ask question', not 'explain life'

fredley

@kalina You should really fix a sleep schedule. It's quite a good thing to do from a quality of life perspective

Grace Note

@kalina Actually I don't think you would adjust that well.

kalina

@GraceNote here is some context, during the last DST switch, I went from starting work at 8-30 to starting work at 9-30

and during the next one, I will probably go back to 8-30

@fredley I'm torn between two things I love

I love my bed, it's so warm and comfy

but I also love being awake and doing things

fredley

11:13 AM

@kalina A rigid sleep schedule allows you to maximise your enjoyment of those two things

kalina

I could quite happily sleep for 12 hours a day

so warm... and comfy...

Blem

@kalina WORK FROM BED!

kalina

but I could also quite happily avoid sleep for several days so I can do things

@Blem I tried this, I do not wake up properly until I get out of bed, if I stay in bed, I will inevitably switch back off again and fall asleep

fredley

@kalina Messing with your circadian rhythms causes you to feel shit a lot of the time though

kalina

I don't though

fredley

11:15 AM

Discipline yourself so you're sleeping regularly. You end up with the same amount of awake time and sleep time, but less feeling like shit

kalina

I don't feel like shit unless I'm ill

and the goo has gone away

fredley

I am so tired, please explain why

kalina

well, for the most part

@fredley easy, I was missing coffee

fredley

Feb 26 at 16:32, by kalina

I am so tired that my face is leaking

kalina

I had 4 hours of sleep lastnight

fredley

Dec 24 '12 at 12:14, by pixel

I always feel more tired than usual during winter

kalina

I skipped breakfast

fredley

Nov 28 '12 at 14:33, by pixel

far too tired for coordination

Aug 25 '12 at 14:53, by pixel

how the hell can I be tired after sleeping for 13 hours

kalina

-.-

OrigamiRobot

Who does @fredley think he is with all these quotes, me?

kalina

purging you with fire at this point feels like a retaliatory action

Blem

11:18 AM

@kalina i imagine this is you IRL

kalina

@Blem this is a true story

the wikipedia article for circadian rhythm has this picture on it

that's messed up

@kalina TIme for a new name too, I mean why not?

Personally I've always thought flaming Twilight was a bit weird. I mean, it's a common cartoon troupe, but it always felt a little out of place

kalina

11:22 AM

@fredley who made you my dad?

fredley

@kalina Your mum

kalina

@fredley ooOOooo

fredley

@kalina You left that one wiiiiide open

kalina

so did she apparently

fredley

@kalina !

kalina

11:53 AM

IT'S GONE ALL QUIET IN HERE

I BLAME @fredley

sets fire to @fredley

badp

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I made some art and thought of you

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

That's... surprisingly good freehand mousewriting

badp

I ctrl-z'd multiple times

since I actually need to use this

kalina

@YiJiang'sEvilClone this one is better

@badp I thought you liked moving the goalposts constantly but you're nothing on the SU mods

anybody would think they didn't want my help

cba with them changing the rules as much as they are

they can do their own tag cleanup

badp

@kalina I'm a boring person, so there's nothing extraordinary about me. This should've been no surprise to you

kalina

12:02 PM

I feel like they're purposely trying to annoy me

so screw them, whatever

@kalina tamalesyatole.deviantart.com/art/Campfire-Stories-321853817

The animated Twilight from the last frame is available as a gif in the description

kalina

@YiJiang'sEvilClone heh

actually I like this one the best so far

wings of flame and all that

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Mmmhmmm, but not quite canon. Well, not until we see Princess Twilight try to drink hot sauce

kalina

I'm sorry, wings of fire > canon

fredley

@kalina Dislike background

well it needs a background

Q: How do I get a Synergy Crystal and what does it do?

The title says it all. I have come across a piece of armor that needs a synergy crystal for it's set bonus. I was unable to find one though. What does a Synergy Crystal do and how do I get one??

Q: In a co-op game, which factors determine if flowing clothes are bulletproof?

...PhysX on: flowing cloth (flags, tarps) that use PhysX to flow realistically are solid with PhysX off, and block bullets completely. With PhysX on, the cloth can be shot apart and thus shot through. - from an answer to the question, "What do the levels of Nvidia PhysX do?" What if the ho...

@kalina Fire

kalina

@fredley I don't think fire on fire will work so well

fredley

@kalina MOAR FIRE

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina Ignoring canon? I'm sorry, but you are dead to me.

kalina

12:08 PM

@YiJiang'sEvilClone sets fire to... hmmm, immune

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

"Steam Beta adds rate limiting feature to downloads". How nice of you Steam to add in features 4 years too late

kalina

oh wow, rate limiting... now that everybody has super fast broadband...

Blem

There is a lot of fire and ponies today

the chat needs more cats

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina -1 fire immunity. Two left.

MLP #6 and micro-series #3 came out today. The micro-series issue on Rarity is really good and well worth a read.

OrigamiRobot

@fredley Of course you fight fire with fire, you should fight everything with fire.

@kalina would love Jaya Ballard

fredley

12:25 PM

Well done America

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

The Rarity issue really reads like an episode of the show, and although the ending is a little abrupt it is really well done. It also features 70s hippie ponies. Yes.

kalina

@fredley such a strong country @Ullallulloo

fredley

@kalina When your kids have to wear bulletproof vests to school, something is wrong

kalina

@fredley oh yeah, but, I don't know where to draw the line when discussing such topics so I am going to abort any attempt to say what I'm thinking

fredley

@kalina It's ok, someone will have a big argument with me about where to draw the line

kalina

12:34 PM

@fredley cba getting chat banned to speak my mind in this instance

oh there's a name for that, it's "censorship" isn't it?

OrigamiRobot

I will have said big argument.

fredley

@kalina Yup.

OrigamiRobot

ahem

fredley

Good ole' fashioned, honey roasted censorship

OrigamiRobot

YOU'VE CROSSED THE LINE @FREDLEY

kalina

12:35 PM

@fredley I'll leave it there, I think

fredley

@OrigamiRobot OH YEAH?

OrigamiRobot

TOO LONG HAVE PORKCHOPS BEEN ABLE TO SPEAK FREELY OF SUCH THINGS

Sconibulus

are we censoring censorship now?

sounds legit

fredley

@Sconibulus shhhhhh, they'll censor you!

> We might be wrong, but it seems that this promo text is in English (United States) instead of English (United Kingdom).

kalina

eww gross, physx tag for real?

fredley

12:39 PM

No it's not Google, shut up.

OrigamiRobot

I thought @fredley and I were going to have an argument. I turned on caps lock and everything. :(

fredley

@OrigamiRobot Sorry, I can turn caps lock back on if you like?

OrigamiRobot

Don't patronize me!

kalina

even though I can't see his response, I feel like I should do this to preserve the stats

sets fire to @OrigamiRobot

besides, he must have done something to annoy me whilst he's been on ignore

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina Stop creating more work for me! /whine

OrigamiRobot

12:51 PM

@kalina is so cute when she is tantruming.

kalina

I wish there was a way he would just disappear

if only from my context

stupid star list

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Yes! It worked!

Muwahahaha

kalina

?

YOU AUTOMATED IT?

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

I starred that message just so you could see it

kalina

oh wow

you bastard

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

12:53 PM

Well, now three other people did it too.

But I was the first.

Unionhawk

I starred it because peer pressure

kalina

I hope you die in a fire

fredley

@Unionhawk I starred it because it was about @kalina

kalina

consider that only one level of fireproof life remaining @YiJiang'sEvilClone

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Great. One immunity left.

fredley

12:54 PM

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Use it wisely

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

BUT IT WAS WORTH IT

badp

@YiJiang'sEvilClone see what happens, now she's just going to use that catchphrase to manipulate your spreadsheet thing

we should've held that page away from her.

Circulated it in secrecy on Steam or whatnot

Damn.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@badp I think she's enjoying creating work for me

badp

@YiJiang'sEvilClone yes.

kalina

@kalina RE: Your 'physx' tag removal. It would be nice to have a [physx] tag for PhysX-related questions. If the tag is not allowed, could you mention the meta post where that is discussed? — galacticninja 2 mins ago

does anybody else think a physx is unneeded

badp

12:56 PM

who cares?

kalina

am I alone in my thoughts on this

he does apparently

what's the harm?

whats the harm?

yeah

brb creating identify-this-game

4

what's the harm, right?

Unionhawk

12:56 PM

I don't see a point in such a tag

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina It seems like something that's more suitable for game developers than gamers, like a directx or opengl tag. It's not something which gamers would necessarily need or need to know

fredley

@kalina I think this tag is a good idea, I mean, other sites have this sort of thing?

badp

The theory where having a tag brings more questions like it is greatly exaggerated

kalina

@fredley most other SE sites do yeah

badp

We had ITG questions when we had the ITG tag

fredley

12:57 PM

@badp Bring back the ITG questions!
