4:00 PM
@MichaelDunfield I saw that yesterday. It was amazing.
 
@Wipqozn You know me so well.
 
@Sterno I can see this happening for certain things (I had this happen at the first GameStop we went to for Dragon's Crown) but I think EO you should be fine.
 
Ruined by a 20 second ad in front of it, but still
 
I just use adblock plus.
 
4:01 PM
@GraceNote My Gamestop tells me this whenever I buy a game on release day from them. Every. Single. Time.
 
@Sterno I found a good metaphor for the bridge
'Derrick' is me.
 
I unblock youtube every so often, but then they keep using those types of ads so I re-block them.
 
> it looks amazing
 
@Sterno I don't care why you're going, entering a GameStop makes you dead to me.
 
@Sterno I've done this twice so far. Which were both on the same day. Only one did I get that response.
 
4:01 PM
@MichaelDunfield My name is Derek. Stop ruining it!
 
@Sterno Hahahahahahaha.
 
I haven't shopped at EB Games (Canadian Gamestop) in a long time. I used to shop their because I was friends with the manager, but he's no longer is with the company. So I have little interest in going back.
 
@GraceNote I can't remember which game it was anymore, but back when it was EB Games, they gave the same line to me and two friends who all bought the same game there separately but within about a 2 hour window.
 
@Sterno TIL you name isn't Sterno.
 
4:02 PM
@Wipqozn I stopped when they ran out of used GameCube games for $3.
 
@Wipqozn Sometimes you find good stuff in the used section.
 
@MichaelDunfield True. If I needed used games I go back.
 
Usually we avoid Gamestop like the plague and prefer a bunch of other local stores, especially because of what evils they do to boxes and the discs within.
 
Otherwise I just drop by somewhere else first.
 
Although I bought the same used copy of F-Zero GX for gamecube like three times from my local EB Games because even though the disc was bad they kept putting it back on the shelf.
 
4:03 PM
@Wipqozn Good ol' Electronics Boutique.
 
But sometimes they don't and in fact our rule for Dragon's Crown was "Only if it's fresh in a brand new box without stupid on it". Which on our second stop, it was.
 
Oh, that reminds me, maybe I should buy EO from The Last Gamestore. The only local gamestore in my area.
 
I'll probably check Best Buy first, and maybe browse their HDMI cables just to see if any of the employees will try to lie to me about them.
 
@GraceNote Is that the one with the boobs
 
@TimStone Some people don't even realize that's what the EB stands for anymore. I feel so old.
@Sterno Yeah, Best Buy is where I usually buy my games now. They are the closest store to me which sells video games.
@MichaelDunfield Yes.
 
4:04 PM
@MichaelDunfield ...sigh. Yes. It is the one that sparked all that blergh.
 
@GraceNote So you're telling me it's actually a good game?
 
@Wipqozn Hold on a second while I get you a cane so you can join the club. We sit around celebrating the fact that at least we aren't @Sterno old.
 
I've got 3 different Best Buys (and at least as many Gamestops) in a 15 minute radius
 
Excellent.
 
IT's also the one with ridiculous characters all around.
 
4:05 PM
@Sterno Like how Best Buy people told me that there would be no cable in the box of my monitor, so I also needed a HDMI (I wanted to use HDMI anyway, but still >.>)
 
Do us a solid and tell all your friends about this rad game. http://kck.st/1asCmQO via @kickstarter
 
@TimStone True, to be sternold would be terrible.
 
Solid done.
 
@Unionhawk I wouldn't mind if they were incompetent rather than lying.
 
@Sterno There are only two Best buys in all of Nova Scotia.
 
4:06 PM
@TimStone I did actually have to use a cane for a while.
 
@Wipqozn You're in NS?
 
God Bless America and Consumerism!
 
@MichaelDunfield Yes...you didn't know this?
 
@OrigamiRobot For reasons other than just being fancy?
 
@Sterno My whole city is in a 15 minute radius. Only 1 Best Buy, though.
 
4:06 PM
@Wipqozn No I thought you were in Nunavut Alberta or something
 
@MichaelDunfield Too cold for turtles.
 
@Sterno How, exactly, does one lie about a HDMI cable...?
 
@TimStone Yes, it definitely wasn't a fancy cane.
 
That's terrible. :(
 
@MichaelDunfield First you didn't know @OrigamiRobot got married, and now this.
2
 
4:07 PM
@Wipqozn Sorry...
 
I think @OrigamiRobot forgave me though
 
@MichaelDunfield Yes it is. It's a Vanillaware game.
 
It was one of those :(
 
@GraceNote Is that supposed to mean something to me.
 
4:07 PM
@OrigamiRobot That was when you got hit by a car, right?
 
Wait I think we've had this discussion before.
 
@Unionhawk They tell you that the identical cable of a different brand and an extra $45 will give you a better picture.
 
Yes. We did.
 
'Vanillaware' sounds familiar.
 
@OrigamiRobot Oh, damn. I take it you recovered from whatever prompted that, at least?
 
4:08 PM
@MichaelDunfield It means the game is made from vanilla.
 
@Wipqozn Yes.
 
The last time we talked about the game and I told you it was a good game, we had this discussion.
 
@Sterno Ah. Yeeeeah...
 
I love Vanilla

@Wipqozn Yes.
 
4:08 PM
@GraceNote Oops, sorry.
 
You don't need to apologize.
 
@GraceNote Yes I do I'm Canadian
4
 
@GraceNote I'm all the way up to level 16 in Dragon's Crown! I'm booking right through it!
 
@MichaelDunfield hahaha, that was good.
 
@OrigamiRobot I saw someone get hit by a car once, it was pretty insane.
 
4:09 PM
I love not putting punctuation in my sentences
It makes them 20% more entertaining

Q: Minecraft 1.6.4 doesn't work

freekie224Please help me i can't get minecraft 1.6.4 . I downloaded the new launcher on minecraft.net but it's still 1.6.2 and when i click on edit profile there's no 1.6.4 please help.

 
@Lazers Duuuuuupe... again...
 
I had teacher who got hit by a car once and still came to class.
 
@Wipqozn Boss.
 
@MichaelDunfield Okay. I really laughed at that one.
 
4:09 PM
@GraceNote That's what I was aiming for. =]
Well, not just you.
 
Well you succeed. Well done.
 
@TimStone I was in my car at the time.
 
Lunch break time! This now means I get to come to a difficult decision.
 
@GraceNote Thanks for reminding me.
I too have a difficult decision
 
@GraceNote Get Sushi.
Decision over.
24 secs ago, by Wipqozn
@GraceNote Get Sushi.
 
4:11 PM
I want to evolve my little fox brother, as it will greatly improve his survivability and his potency in combat. But he's so adorable and huggable as is and evolution would change his appearance to, while cute, a different kind of cute, and not as huggable (fluffiness of nine tails aside).
 
I don't like sushi
 
Sushi is never the answer unless the question is "What tastes like something died in your mouth?"
 
@OrigamiRobot I know.
 
@OrigamiRobot Ahh, @Wipqozn was being vague. Apparently I missed hearing about that somehow. Good that you made it out in (relatively) one piece.
 
I guess I'll just get chinese :/
 
4:12 PM
@OrigamiRobot Now I want Won-tong soup.
 
@TimStone No, there were definitely multiple pieces.
 
D:
 
Luckily they were able to rebuild him! Stronger and faster than before!
 
The "most of me" piece and two spleen pieces.
 
Oh wow, damn. :/
 
4:13 PM
@OrigamiRobot You lost two spleens?
 
Man, everytime this comes up I get sad at how close I came to never meeting the robot.
 
(To wit I actually remember talk of this at a much earlier date)
 
Just the one. It was split in two by the other car.
 
@Wipqozn I did almost die. And now the flu can kill me as my immune system is weaker as a result of my spleenlessness
 
4:15 PM
@BenBrocka It also has fully destructible bicycles. Can't go wrong with that.
You have reminded me I need a flu shot.
 
@Sterno Old people need those, I hear.
 
@Sterno I have to get one every year :/
 
I never used to, but now that I have a kid I do so it's less likely I pass anything to her.
Honestly I probably always should have. They seem like a good idea.
 
Jul 8 at 21:16, by OrigamiRobot
I have to check the box that says "Do you have AIDS, HIV, or other immune system deficiencies?"
Dec 27 '12 at 9:45, by OrigamiRobot
i will sneeze on your entire families.
wat
 
4:19 PM
@OrigamiRobot That is rather curious.
 
I must have been sick and on medicine.

Q: Game dosn't wok on 100% full screen coz of unity panel and menu panel

user197483I have a little problem with a game. I install it, i did open it, works on full screen resolution, but i dont know why unity panel and menu panel are still there (i can see them) when game its open. Problem its my mouse cursor, its reaching screen limit (left, rigth, up and down) and i cant play ...

 
Feb 22 at 3:41, by spugsley
@OrigamiRobot is super sick. And it's hilarious when he's sick. He gets so loopy
 
@BenBrocka also this [nsfw]
@FEichinger What is this?
 
8 hours ago, by FEichinger
@fredley Amnesia dev ... uhm ... countdown? ... Something? Mystery. Something. Definitely something.
 
4:30 PM
@FEichinger Oh cool
 
@GamingTopicsFromOutside IT BURNS! IT BURNS!
I can't paste in Zalgo text anymore. I'm so sad.
 
@Sterno It's beautiful, isn't it?
 
And it has an upvote.
 
@Sterno glares at @GnomeSlice
 
i have that disorder where i can only communicate using mspaint
@badp isn't alone
 
4:36 PM
@BenBrocka so... I'm guessing this tweet was dictated to someone else using mspaint?
 
I registered just to suggest an edit to that question and realized that I just can't quite decipher his exact meaning
 
@Sterno That's my problem as well.
Well, except for the registering part.
 
torahhorse is great
 
@OrigamiRobot If you ever get the flu I promise to beat it up.
 
@FEichinger I was okay up until Problem its my mouse cursor, its reaching screen limit (left, rigth, up and down) and i cant play very well.
 
4:39 PM
@FEichinger ???
 
@Sterno Now, presumably, that last part is a different problem.

Q: Locations for new crew members

Foo BarrignoWhere can I find a list of new people to recruit for the heists? I know at least one is available from a random encounter, I'm wondering how many there are total, and where they are located?

 
Sep 26 at 15:18, by kalina
Today I learned: GnomeSlice upvotes the worst posts on the site
 
@FEichinger I don't use askubuntu
 
4:41 PM
Hahahaha
@BenBrocka Whoa
 
@BenBrocka Oh my, is Google going to be making the new Dreamweaver?
 
@MichaelDunfield bah! In my days, that was the boss key.
 
@BenBrocka If that gets a license for commercial use that isn't as screwed-up as SketchUp was, it's amazing.
 
That question has been on their site for 23 minutes and isn't closed or edited yet. Conclusion: Ask Ubuntu is awful.
 
@Sterno Or, their main users don't have OCD, like all of us.
 
4:44 PM
@Sterno We have low amounts of voters and relatively few active high-rep users. It is awful.
I don't think I've actively used AU in half a year or so.

Q: What is this face doing underneath my world?

kalinaMy people refused to settle in a particular area of my world, so I dug away at the landscape to try and work out (think there would be diamonds or something under there) but instead I found a face: What is this face doing underneath my world?

 
@BenBrocka Wait, 'motion graphics'?
oooooooo
 
@FEichinger It's google, I can't imagine it won't have a proper commercial license
 
@BenBrocka SketchUp was, for a long time, also Google. And they kept screwing that one up.
 
Huh, weird. Never used Sketchup
 
4:49 PM
@kalina Such a hog!
 
@Sterno it's not my fault you're not playing
 
> Google Web Designer makes it simple to publish ads through any platform. Choose from DoubleClick Studio or AdMob, or go for the Generic option to push content through any other ad network. No coding required.
This has to be with commercial use in mind
 
@kalina Unless you can dig pits with which to drown your followers, I probably never will.
 
@BenBrocka Can you make like videos with this?
Wow
 
@Sterno you can
 
4:51 PM
Dunno, I'm just now installing it
 
@kalina How is it?
 
you can also squash them and destroy their houses
 
@BenBrocka Looks like you can do code documents, or google ads
 
There's no point in being a god unless you can be a cruel and petty god.
 
4:51 PM
@BenBrocka
 
@OrigamiRobot it's ok
 
@Wipqozn My little derpy?
Also lo
 
@kalina Just ok?
 
@Wipqozn I don't think that's a very good name. Unless you've seen that episode of Adventure Time, it sounds dirty.
 
@MichaelDunfield 3D-spinning-hotdog ads in 3, 2, 1...
 
4:53 PM
@OrigamiRobot Yeah, it does sound dirty.
 
@badp Oh man, I hope not
 
I get a headache every time I open this damn thing
 
@BenBrocka wat
 
Bulk Rename Utility. It is...for power users. I use it every once in a while to replace a word in a bunch of file names or something. Takes me a few minutes to remember how to do anything
 
@BenBrocka Why would anyone do that to themselves
 
4:55 PM
Fortunately you don't need 95% of the fields
 
@BenBrocka Oh, that thing ... Right.
 
Command line ftw
 
@badp This. Iterate over all and do a regex replace.
 
@kalina Is it worth getting?
 
4:58 PM
@OrigamiRobot if you like this sort of game then sure
 
@Sterno Eye for eye
 
@badp That guy's basically burying his whole family now.
 
@Sterno one'd wish he was actually doing that
 
@Sterno holy hell
 
@Sterno "Well, that was unexpected."
 
5:01 PM
@Sterno That's so sad.

Q: Why do some factions refuse to trade?

BeatSome factions really like me and a trade route is possible but they still and repeatedly refuse to trade with me – and other factions are neutral towards me but happily agree to a trade agreement. Can anybody explain the game mechanics the AI uses to determine if they accept or decline an offered...

 
I'm good at livening up a room.
 
Very.
 
Any fans of starfox?
 
5:23 PM
@GraceNote What can I actually do with deeds?
I know I get property and yada yada, but what does that actually mean for me?
 
@OrigamiRobot You have a place to live?
 
@fbueckert Yes, I know. Like a ranch will let me breed pets, but what does that actually do?
 
@OrigamiRobot That's it's whole purpose.
 
Hello everyone. I see we've all survived to see another glorious Monday! So, to celebrate, let's talk about video game!
 
5:30 PM
Dump a pet in there, and it will produce various items, including more of itself.
 
Yes, but what does that mean for me?
 
Sounds like a good question.
 
@OrigamiRobot You can grab the offspring and sell them at the slave market for ~1000+gp (depending on the pet)
 
I seem to be missing something.
 
5:35 PM
I generated a gene file and started my Elona game over - I now have most of my old equipment back, and more charisma than I had before, and my charisma skills have plenty of room to grow.
 
Killing pets at your ranch also gives you a pretty decent chance at a corpse. Since some corpses train your stats, you can use them as easy stat trainers. Like putits!
 
@fbueckert A ranch produces more pets. What can I do with those pets. I can own a lot of breastplates too, but that doesn't mean anything.
 
@OrigamiRobot And seeing as how you can ressurect your pets, yeah, I see what you mean.
 
@fbueckert This is the kind fo thing I was looking for.
I didn't know some corpses trained stats.
 
All corpses give some bonus to STR/CON, just some train others as well.
 
5:37 PM
@OrigamiRobot Some also give you resistances and such. I believe some corpses also train speed, so that sounds like an excellent use for the ranch.
 
If you've got a Battlefield Premium account or pre-ordered BF4, it's avalible on Origin to pre-load for the beginning of the beta tomorrow.
 
Gene engineering is another main pro to having a ranch, especially if you raise certain creatures.
 
@GraceNote Gene engineering looks way too complicated for me.
 
Negotiations with Ivan the @Polygon Faux CEO have reached a fevered pitch with a request for an unprecedented 11/10 http://t.co/vsxfKzaO5M
These guys are hilarious
 
Ooh. Steam's doing week-long deals now?
 
5:46 PM
 
@BenBrocka Canadians, they just can't appreciate a good product when they see it.
 
@RedRiderX Tell me about it. Tried to show a Canadian Minecraft and he just melted into Maple Syrup and apologized for it.
 
@BenBrocka Several Canadians have threatened to summon a moose to attack me if I ever gave them a bad recommendation so I just don't do it.
 
user15026
I have the world's most squeaky chair in this room
 
@AshleyNunn Squeak it until they replace it!
 
user15026
5:57 PM
@Fluttershy It is awful - the prof in here already hates me for my laptop use, now I am squeaking - I think I am doomed.
 
user15026
I tried to switch chairs but I got yelled at for being disruptive
 
@AshleyNunn Yell back.
Don't use words, just shout until you get what you want.
 
user15026
makes pterodactyl noises until she gets a different chair

6:10 PM
The Bridge is quiet.....TOO quiet.
 
@Batophobia Shh!
 
@Batophobia It's nap time

user15026
My goal today is to collect enough research that I can convince a prof to let me do an ethnographical study about Eve Online by myself
 
user15026
and not in a group of 4-5 people
 
@AshleyNunn One of my friends did EVE Online sub-culture for a final paper in high school.
 
user15026
6:13 PM
@Batophobia Awesome.
 
@BenBrocka wat
 
requirements were having to be part of the subgroup for a few months
 
user15026
It would mean a 20 min presentation and a 10 page paper written on my own, but I can do it
 
user15026
@Batophobia we don't really have any limitations like that as far as I can tell
 
@AshleyNunn This is how group projects went when I was in school.
 
user15026
6:14 PM
Yeah, I figure I will likely end up doing a lot of the work on my own so I might as well just do it on my own
 
user15026
(it doesnt help that I dont like a lot of people in this class - being 4-8 years older than most of them and all really seems to show here)
 
We had a psychology group assignment (2 page paper) where the whole class was the group. Still ended up being 1 person doing it.
 
user15026
Group work is just torture disguised as education.
3
 
@AshleyNunn I suddenly want that as a bumper sticker or something
 
@AshleyNunn Only for that one person who gets stuck actually doing the work :)
 
6:20 PM
I thought group work was pretty ok
of course, we normally split up the work fairly well.
person A: documents, person B: creates the interface, person C: makes it work
 
user15026
I have yet to have an experience where it gets split up remotely well
 
user15026
Usually I end up doing a lot of it so I at least do well
 
user15026
(also I have taken to making a point of mentioning that, as now most group work features like a group eval thing)
 
it might be easier when there are actually distinct things to do
 
@Sconibulus The ONLY time I've seen group work turn out alright was in web design class. My group-mate would design the website layout and what-not and I would turn the picture into a webpage.
 
user15026
6:22 PM
Yeah, in this case it is incredibly indistinct - we have to study an online society, and write about some aspect of it, and make a presentation
 
@AshleyNunn Usually presentations show who did all the work. "Oh look, Ashley Nunn spoke for 90% of the presentation and answered every question at the end"
 
user15026
Pretty much, yeah
 
@Batophobia Huh, last big group project we had 1 person write the documentation, one person design the system, that person assisted another person in building the system, and the last person wrote a suite of test and presentation scripts.
That was a proof of concept for a processor modification that was our senior project
 
@Sconibulus This was more of a "I'm a bad teacher so designers match up with programmers". This way programmers weren't designing and designers weren't programming. In reality, probably better that way.
 
user15026
I also have fundamental issues with the design of hte assignment - it feels like he expects us to join and interact with the virtual world we choose to find out about gender or politics or what have you - and he isnt giving us a lot of time, and I don't think he understands that you cant just like make a WoW chara, for example, and play for a bit, and magically see the internal social structure
 
user15026
6:28 PM
let alone get anyone to talk to you.
 
Everquest II has that max-level thing starting tomorrow
Well level 85 out of 95
 
@AshleyNunn Why not choose The Bridge?
 
Fork Parker is the best
 
yeah, we're very accepting of new people!
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot I have already written two papers on SE in general for other classes, not sure if he considers here a virtual enough world
 
6:34 PM
just look at Scootaloo... and Young Guilo... oh... wait.
 
@AshleyNunn I WILL SHOW HIM WHO'S VIRTUAL!
 
@Sconibulus Even old members. Kalina quite for a while
 
user15026
And you know, getting permission from the populace at large to study this group would be kinda tricky
 
user15026
(using site stuff was acceptable because of the CC licensing, but here it is likely different)
 
user15026
and I am thinking about this way too hard
 
6:35 PM
You could always do Second Life :P
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot Please do :)
 
user15026
@Batophobia shudders thats what he wants and I....just really dont wanna
 
@AshleyNunn I think chat transcripts count as SE network content.
 
@AshleyNunn brb, visiting your professor
 
user15026
I mean it is also a giant pile of chaos and subject to the same issues as any other virtual world - a month isnt long enough to gain trust and get teh info we are expected to
 
6:36 PM
@OrigamiRobot I doubt he listens to robots that are afraid of sloths
 
@AshleyNunn We are all about chaos.
3
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot That we are
 
@OrigamiRobot and murder, and bacon, and...
 
user15026
I just dont want to touch Second Life
 
@AshleyNunn That makes counting.... everyone
 
user15026
6:38 PM
I figure I might make an appointment to talk to him and like...try to state my case and see what he thinks
 
@Sconibulus It's hard to communicate with people who see everything as an attack on them.
 
mod abuse
oh wait there are none

Q: Minecraft redstone

TDragonHow do i use one push of a button to go from 1 input to 9 outputs. Where the 1st push line A turns on, then push the button second time, linA turns off and line B turns on.

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, I wasn't trying to be serious about that
Scootaloo got a lot better I think
 
@Sconibulus Guilo did as well
 
6:42 PM
He did? I thought he got banned?
 
user15026
all the chairs in here squeak
 
user15026
it is making me insane
 
I feel trolled
the README file of libvirt reads:
  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of

user15026
I dont understand most of those words
 
@AshleyNunn squint and you'll see it
or, in other words: why does the first line start indented?
(I want the conspiracy theory answer, obviously)

6:48 PM
I have no idea

@badp What indentation? I see a library called " Libvirt"
 
@Sconibulus Yeah, the indentation is of 1 character ;)
 
@badp Clearly the name for the library is terrible.
Also: I'm having liver tonight again! :D
 
I should eat liver again at some point
 
6:55 PM
 
I don't know where to find it that's tasty though.
 
user15026
@FEichinger i fail to see how this is cause for positive feelings :P
 
@AshleyNunn It's AWESOME. Tasty and all.
 
user15026
@FEichinger nopenopenope
 
@Sconibulus Pretty much any Greek restaurant should be serving a grilled one. And otherwise: DIY.
@AshleyNunn yepyepyep.
Generally, there's not much that can go wrong with a grilled liver.
 
user15026
6:59 PM
The texture of liver is just offputting ot me
 
Livermush mmmmmmmmmmm
 
user15026
I can only eat it as liverwurst
 
user15026
and then only in small amounts infrequently
