The proposer has 2k rep on SO.

I don't get it

FEichinger

The KSP IRC channel also just found this which I'm just relaying here for @GnomeSlice to feel bad about himself.

Cazadores are worth a lot of XP for what they are

although they're annoying to fight against

FEichinger

They're worth an appropriate amount of XP, I think. Given that they will most likely horribly horribly murder you.

Q: Who owns Obsidian?

This is kind of legal, but its about a game. So I'm asking it here because. Move it if it should be. One of my favorite childhood video games is Obsidian by Rocket Science Games. Said company is no longer in business. Say someone wanted to remake the game. Who owns those rights? On another note...

legal

This feels OT.

badp

I took down a pack of four with... relative ease

@badp Cazadores tend to either die super easily, or ruin you horribly.

and they totally beat a visit from the legion

Shotgun Ninja

Apparently, the UK Border Agency is severely overstepping their bounds in terms of legal procedure for questioning foreigners.

FEichinger

@ShotgunNinja Huh, that's curious.

5:32 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz For some reason I just didn't see @mana's name in the closing, and thought you became a moderator when I wasn't paying attention.

user15026

@ShotgunNinja That's alarming.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Wipqozn Why does everyone think I'm a mod!?!?!?!?

@AshleyNunn @mana Confirmed, I am not being ordered to drive to Chicago right this minute or similar.

Wipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz Well, int his instance I thought you were the only person who voted to close. That's why.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Also, because Shit Be Broken, I am mostly free for the next 48 hours.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz So I can safely buy a bus ticket for tomorrow, then?

LessPop_MoreFizz

5:36 PM

@AshleyNunn Yup Yup

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz Perfect. I shall do that now then. :)

FAE

@AshleyNunn I'm going to an autograph session with Neil Gaiman on the 16th!

FEichinger

@LessPop_MoreFizz Because you're EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....!!!

user15026

@FAE O.o I am the most jealous omg

FAE

@AshleyNunn I am super nervous but very excited! Apparently he's stopping doing signing tours after this one for Ocean at the End of the Lane is over, so I'm glad I got into this one.

user15026

5:39 PM

@FAE Yeah, he did his last US one a while back now

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz My plan is to take the 4:15 bus from here, which will get me to the greyhound station at 7ish, and then get from there to the hotel by taxi (because my pulled calf muscle doesn't want to walk for 20 min). And then take the 11:30 bus home.

FAE

@AshleyNunn There's another one in a city that's about an hour's drive away the day after and one of my friends suggested I go to that one too but I'd feel bad about taking up a spot for someone else and also would be worried about coming off as creepy stalker-y. <_<

LessPop_MoreFizz

@AshleyNunn sounds like a plan. Feel free to aim to get here earlier if you want - I'm de facto off tomorrow.

user15026

@FAE yeah, I have no idea about the appropriateness of such things

FEichinger

5:42 PM

@FAE That would indeed be creepy stalker-y.

FAE

@AshleyNunn Me neither, I've never been to one of these.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@FAE Speaking from experience; you would be nowhere near the level of creepy stalker that shows up at a typical Gaiman event.

At least, if they've not changed much in the past decade (and I kind of assume they've gotten worse.)

FAE

@FEichinger Considering his usual fanbase I don't think... what @LessPop said.

FEichinger

@FAE That's true, indeed. But just because there's worse, doesn't mean it wouldn't be creepy stalker-y. :P

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz I technically have to work, but I really don't see them having work for me (considering I have gotten like....30 min shifts (instead of 2 hours) lately, so I might take off and just come earlier. :)

FAE

5:43 PM

@FEichinger True.

user15026

I just don't know how much time you want to spend in a crazy pink haired girl's presence

badp

@LessPop_MoreFizz Maybe it's time to prove them right! :P

user15026

@FAE I've been to a few signings that Tamora Pierce did, but that's it

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp Hold an election!

FAE

@AshleyNunn I've only ever seen authors at stuff like fantasy faires where they just do a talk or something with maybe a bit of signing after, I've never been to a thing that's just a signing session. I dunno how to go about this or how many books are appropriate to bring or anything.

user15026

5:48 PM

@FAE Ping me on Steam if you want! I can help you best I know :P

user15026

I am no expert though :P

FEichinger

@FAE That would be a great question for Etiquette@Area51, I guess. :P

FAE

@FEichinger ...wow, that's a horrible idea...

FEichinger

@FAE I know, right?

FAE

@FEichinger So much of etiquette is cultural, how can you even try to do that on a "the entire Internet is our audience" scale? O_o

LessPop_MoreFizz

5:50 PM

@FAE THere is generally a published limit posted by the bookstore or venue - 2 is typical.

user15026

@FAE Yeah, that is where my brain just pops

SaintWacko

@FAE All of them

FEichinger

@FAE Well, there is a discussion on that, but in general, I'd assume that specific example here isn't even all that much of a problem.

user15026

@FAE Like @LessPop_MoreFizz said, 2 is typical. Some places will also give you a piece of paper to spell your name on, but that doesn't happen everywhere.

FAE

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, they didn't say. I asked in the email and all they was something to the effect of "You can bring more but we can't guarantee anything" and that's not a very concrete number.

user15026

5:52 PM

@FAE I would stick with two - they basically want the line to keep moving. You can bring more, but they will likely only let you get a certain number actually signed

FAE

Okies, thanks both of you. I'm trying not to like... have an anxiety attack over this.

user15026

Okay, work actually wants me in tomorrow because half the department is gone.

@GraceNote Holy shit

That's insane

user15026

@GraceNote That is insane and awesome all at once

badp

@GraceNote Reminds me of China 2008.

The opening ceremony had a lot of this.

It was very impressive - and a little scary.

user15026

@badp Getting people to move like that in unison is super weird

badp

unfortunately YouTube only has a 13 mins selection of the ceremony

Wanted to say that it's been a few years since I saw that... but then that seemed a bit dumb since it's obviously been 5 years.

I'm also listening to terribly inappropriate music for an Olympics opening.

Oh man that ball.

Note: I just spent the last couple of hours getting a client's network to talk to my server again.

That is well outside the expertise I'm being paid for.

user15026

@fbueckert Oo

user15026

and here I thought wrangling greyhound tickets was a big deal >.<

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn That is; I'd have no idea where to start.

user15026

@fbueckert Every time I get it to work and my tickets ACTUALLY print on my home printer I feel like a rockstar, but I dont stop worrying until I am on the actual bus

FAE

6:30 PM

@AshleyNunn Printers are evil.

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn I just mostly fly by the seat of my pants. My planning abilities are...less than robust.

user15026

@fbueckert The fact that I have done this with like...a day to plan is kinda amazing - my anxiety hasn't really realized that I am doing it, so maybe I will have an easier time

user15026

@FAE It doesn't help that mine is an all in one monster that is in hte middle of my living room because it doesnt fit anywhere else

FAE

@AshleyNunn Haha, we have one like that too, it has to sit in the space on the desk between our monitors (our desks face each other). It's really annoying to try to reach.

FEichinger

@GnomeSlice Oh hell no.

GnomeSlice

So much for 'indie'.

fbueckert

Woo! Train Simulator 2014 is coming soon!

user15026

@GnomeSlice This isnt the first time they have done shit like that

fbueckert

Nice of them to give it to anyone who already bought previous versions, though.

GnomeSlice

6:37 PM

=[

fbueckert

Wouldn't have expected that.

FEichinger

@GnomeSlice Wait, they're seriously adding the games they bought off THQ there? What the...?

Sterno

I hate you, review queue

FEichinger

@fbueckert Didn't they do that with 2012->2013, too?

OrigamiRobot

I never use the review queue

fbueckert

6:38 PM

@FEichinger I have no idea.

Also, Space Empires is on sale on Steam right now.

If you like 4X games, Space Empires V is freaking awesome for <$5.

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice Who cares if it's indie? You can still give to charity.

GnomeSlice

Not if I'm broke I can't.

user20683

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice You'd be broke either way.

Sterno

@WorldEngineer TLDR

user20683

6:41 PM

@Sterno It is a list of 30 upscalish sandwiches

GnomeSlice

@WorldEngineer This is very relevant to my interests.

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice nope

Grace Note

When was being a sammich connoisseur considered evil?

GnomeSlice

6:42 PM

> Please note: the games in this bundle are only available for Windows via Steam.

Ouch, that's going to hurt some of the sales.

OrigamiRobot

@WorldEngineer These all look disgusting to me.

FEichinger

@GnomeSlice Well, none of them have been ported, I believe.

Ullallulloo

@WorldEngineer But what will I eat tomorrow?

user15026

@WorldEngineer Want want want want want

GnomeSlice

@FEichinger Wasn't Saints Row ported from Xbox 360?

Ullallulloo

6:43 PM

Also, now I'm hungry again.

FEichinger

@OrigamiRobot I agree. Which makes me uncomfortable.

GnomeSlice

Like the other ones?

FEichinger

@GnomeSlice *to anything other than Windows.

fbueckert

I have not gone for lunch yet. I suspect I will be wanting a sandwich now.

GnomeSlice

Oh.

I was mostly talking about being Steam-locked.

OrigamiRobot

6:44 PM

@FEichinger Uncomfortable for agreeing with me?

GnomeSlice

Weird that they aren't offering them through the humble store

FEichinger

@OrigamiRobot Yes.

OrigamiRobot

@FEichinger That's robotist!

user20683

@GraceNote When I intended to ping spugsley immediately after :)

FEichinger

@GnomeSlice Because Koch are annoying and Deep Silver needs more Dead Island sales.

RedRiderX

6:45 PM

@GnomeSlice I'd say it would be weird if they did.

GnomeSlice

@FEichinger Koch?

FEichinger

@OrigamiRobot No, It's OrigamiRob-ist.

@GnomeSlice Deep Silver's parent company, Koch Media.

GnomeSlice

@RedRiderX Er, why? Doesn't Humble own the humble store?

@FEichinger Oh.

RedRiderX

@GnomeSlice *that Deep Silver would agree to that.

GnomeSlice

A bundle isn't a great way for them to increase revenue, but it's probably a good way to get sales, yeah

user15026

6:45 PM

@fbueckert I had lunch and I still want a sandwich

GnomeSlice

@RedRiderX Oh.

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn I've been off-site for most of last week and this week. I get to find new restaurants to try.

RedRiderX

@GnomeSlice Just set DRM free copies of all those games out in the wild?

GnomeSlice

Although I keep forgetting how popular humble is

fbueckert

Too bad most of them are a rather long hike away.

GnomeSlice

6:46 PM

@RedRiderX Isn't that the point of humble?

user15026

@fbueckert Oooh that is super interesting (minus hte walking stuff)

RedRiderX

@GnomeSlice Yes that was the point of the H I B.

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn Indeed.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert Sounds awful.

GnomeSlice

I guess.

fbueckert

6:47 PM

@OrigamiRobot A bit of a rocky launch, but the end is in site.

So many moving parts that no one realized.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert I meant the restaurants part.
