even after I did the thing where I fell down from the balcony, I kept getting knocked down and then was unable to get up and move far enough away in time for dude's next hit

so I'm like, "welp, fuck this"

Matt

my brother played dark souls

he was stuck on the double boss Ornstein and Smough (sp?) for the better part of a year

Gordon Allocman

That part was awful

question_asker

(ftr, I figure if you like it, that's cool. If you're good at it, I am willing to watch videos of you playing it. It's just not for me)

ffao

and then there is a guy beating them with voice commands

Matt

by the time he was able to get passed them, he was so OP that the rest of the game was a breeze ... totally not Dark Souls-y

question_asker

7:17 PM

hahaha nice

to both of those

Gordon Allocman

some guy played the game on a guitar somehow

Matt

there was also a twitch plays Dark Souls for a while ... dunno if that's still a thing

question_asker

yeah, I watched that once

it was tedious

ffao

youtube.com/watch?v=5m2a2dLdZ0M for the voice

the same guy did the guitar

question_asker

like that guy who put Doom on an apple watch

Gordon Allocman

7:18 PM

ah yes, he beat the game with a rock band guitar. I could barely beat it with a xbox controller, guess I still need to git gud

question_asker

anyway the vast majority of my time spent gaming was either: TF2, Skyrim, ESO, or various indie games

various short indie games

Khale_Kitha

Hah, q_a....

So when I mentioned that samsung removed the Home + Power shortcut for screenshots from some devices

....apparently mine is one of them :P

question_asker

oh jeez

Khale_Kitha

Steam app has a new "Confirmations" screen.

I was able to confirm that I have nothing to confirm. deadpan

Though the new version of the app is much nicer.

I wish my phone wasn't so slow, I'd actually update things on occasion.

Gordon Allocman

man, so far they missed pretty much all the clues i put in my hint :(

Khale_Kitha

7:22 PM

I have over 140+ things that are asking to be updated, right now. But everytime that I let it update them all, i have 40+ more the next day.

D'oh, Gordon

So speaking of games. Still not sure how to feel about the new Pokemon games being S&M.

Gordon Allocman

I'm pretty hyped for the new pokemon to be honest, though I will hold judgement on the starters until I see there evolutions

Will

@f'' Don't forget en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mare_(folklore)

@Will That's definition 2 for English, as well as the definition for Danish and 3rd for Dutch

Will

The black frame is completely and uniformly black, and occurs every ten seconds

there's a whole bunch of junk in the comment section inside the file, don't know if it's there intentionally or if it was automatically generated

says "generic RGB profile" in a lot of different languages

. regex.info/…

nothing hidden in the color map, it's just black and white

no unusual characters in the post itself

Q: Which devilish person am I?

Because my first riddle was solved so fast, I tried to create something short, but more diffcult. If this wont be solved and explained as fast as the first one, I will give some hints tomorrow. First, I was named by a cock, as the first. Second, I was maybe named like a cock, but before...

riddle

question_asker

for anyone who was wondering which song I was thinking of earlier, it was hungarian rhapsody #2, middle-ish part

Khale_Kitha

Certainly the first time I've seen that word used in a puzzle here, much less 3 times, despite its intended meaning.

question_asker

d-dun dun duhh, d-dun dun duhh, d-dun dun dah etc

Khale_Kitha

I can't find anything in just the black part of the image, either, f"

Khale_Kitha

I think I know what song you mean, actually, from that, q_a, despite not having known it's name. LoL

question_asker

yeah I was like "I can hear this in my head but there's no lyrics to look up"

Khale_Kitha

Adam Gyorgy Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2

►

Here's a URL that should do that, btw

And yeah, I was right, lol

question_asker

I think I learned to play an "easier" version of that when I was young

Khale_Kitha

Yeah, I've never learned to play anything like that, before.

amazon.com/Popular-Classics-Treasury-All-Time-Favorites/dp/…

I used to get that out of the library a lot

Khale_Kitha

I don't know if we have that - our piano books are packed, lol

question_asker

it was this weird hardcover-but-also-spiral-bound book that had a ton of the really well-known classical pieces, up through some semi-modern stuff

Khale_Kitha

Oh - good that is was spiralbound

i'm sitting here trying not to cringe at the thought of playing music while the pages fight to flip back to the hard cover (or the middle, depending where you are)

question_asker

yeah
