The Bridge

If I am choosing Charmander as my starter, will I be able to buy the Charizardite Mega Stone again? So I could buy another one and trade it to someone else.

Arperum

@fredley Names are not exclusive to English. They come from everywhere (Meier from German I think)

fredley

@Arperum Incorrect.

5pike

@fredley Meier is German

It was a title

turned into a surname

fredley

@5pike Lies. Names exist only in English.

Arperum

@fredley That's why Napoleon forced them over all of his conquered area. (this is also the reason Dutch have totally random surnames half of the time, they thought it was a joke, or at least temporary)

@spyder Hold your breath for as long as you can.

I think I've found a new way how the general english-world-speaking gender-based pedantry can drive me insane

"We are looking for engineers (m) or engineers (f) who..."

fredley

@badp wat

badp

@fredley I am so tempted to troll them about gender binary and whatnot

fredley

@badp Please do

Post link so I can troll, I like troll

M'vy

@badp yeah, egineers (f/m) would do better

5pike

@badp As if this would help female emancipation in any way...

badp

10:46 AM

@M'vy IT IS A GENDER NEUTRAL WORD WHY ARE YOU EVEN BRINGING GENDER UP WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU

3

fredley

@badp this

The practice seems common: totaljobs.com/JobSeeking/Resident-Engineer-mf_job57537801

M'vy

The things with equal opportunities is that, with rules to hire a certain quantity of h/f we end up with discriminating job offers

fredley

@M'vy h? wtf

badp

@M'vy "homos/females"?

5pike

@badp Because so that they can feel like they accomplished something, while, in fact, just furthered the gap between male and female.

fredley

10:47 AM

@badp homos/furrys?

M'vy

@badp No, French typo

Arperum

@badp hommes/femmes

M'vy

@Arperum yip

fredley

@5pike "Positive discrimination" is still discrimination, still worsens the problem

3

It breeds resentment and differentiation of people by gender

5pike

@fredley EXACTLY

fredley

10:49 AM

@5pike "Oh you're a black disabled lesbian, you'll balance our team nicely"

badp

@fredley [✔] Diversity

fredley

I know someone who worked at a large firm where they did positive discrimination at recruitment, and it turned out pretty much like this

badp

I mean

it is good to have a mix

M'vy

Brb, I'm about to land my rocket

5pike

@fredley It's not black, it's pigment benefited.

badp

10:51 AM

and unfortunately it's really hard to do so in some industries (cough)

fredley

And if people were fired, they would all sue on the grounds of discrimination. White, straight males would sue because they were being discriminated against

spyder

@fredley work time isn't over yet. I'm still in the office

fredley

@spyder so?

spyder

@fredley my boss is just 10 meters away from me :)

fredley

@spyder so?

@spyder Have you seen Office Space?

@fredley nope

@spyder Watch it

THE DEA SEIZED ONE OF MY METH-O-MATICS

and reduced my meth output by 0.1%

Is that all that happens when you get busted?

kalina

yes

apparently

they just take whatever they busted

3ventic

8.1 didn't break GFWL like 8 did

yay

kalina

obviously I need more cream soda

Having GFWL installed on your PC sounds like willingly injecting yourself with something deadly

3ventic

it sounds like playing Dark Souls and GTA IV

(and Dirt 3, but who plays that srsly)

kalina

12:27 PM

solution: don't

3ventic

Dark Souls is a bad console port but it's still probably the best third-person RPG there is for PC

kalina

@3ventic Mass Effect

</discussion>

Instead of GTA4 you could play Saints Row 1-4

Instead of Dirt 3 you could play Grid 2

3ventic

Saints rows are bad

kalina

thus, I conclude, you like games for windows live

3ventic

and instead of GTA IV I play GTA SA

Fluttershy

12:29 PM

@3ventic Dark Souls was made much better with DSFix! It's still a bad port, but now it's actually playable.

fredley

The reviews that make the review progress bar tick along by one pixel are the best reviews

3ventic

I only play GTA IV because it's the only game where I found a good police mod so far

@Fluttershy I know.

And DSCFix

and DSMFix

Fluttershy

DSCFix is nice! I dunno what that other one is though.

kalina

and cake

cake makes everything better

3ventic

@Fluttershy Mouse fix

So keyboard+mouse is a viable option to play

Fluttershy

12:30 PM

@3ventic Aaaah. I use my wired 360 controller. <_<

3ventic

I still play it with a logitech controller

Fluttershy

Seriously though, Dark Souls is probably one of the best RPG experiences ever.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@fluttershy I drank aged Pumking last night.

3ventic

because rolling is much easier in full circle than it is in 8 directions

LessPop_MoreFizz

It was delicious

3ventic

12:31 PM

@Fluttershy I agree

I hope DS2 is going to be just as awesome, but with a good PC version

Fluttershy

@LessPop_MoreFizz Aged? How aged? @Sterno aged?

LessPop_MoreFizz

2010 edition.

Fluttershy

Ooh. Yummmmm. :3

OrigamiRobot

I wouldn't Dark Souls good by a long shot. It's an exercise in masochism.

It just punches you in the face and says "DEAL WITH THAT" to which we weakly respond "I'll show you"

It's fun to overcome a challenge, but not good.

3ventic

@OrigamiRobot It isn't that hard..

OrigamiRobot

12:38 PM

I didn't say it was hard.

It's just unforgiving.

TZHX

The level of "punishment" Dark Souls enacts on people is, I think, massively exaggerated.

Fluttershy

@OrigamiRobot That's, honestly, the biggest part of the appeal for many people.

3ventic

When you really think about it; what do you lose when you die in Dark Souls?

A bunch of souls, a little bit of progress

Fluttershy

If you really wanna feel bad about it, head over to Twitch and watch Vviking kill every boss with no armor in an hour and a half. :P

3ventic

12:40 PM

Aren't games all about overcoming challenges?

Fluttershy

@OrigamiRobot For you. Personally, I find it both fun and good when overcoming a challenge.

OrigamiRobot

I'm saying the game itself is not good.

Fluttershy

@OrigamiRobot And I am disagreeing with you.

OrigamiRobot

The mechanics are wonky, the controls are wonky.

The AI is wonky.

And overcoming that wonkiness it rewarding in its own right.

Fluttershy

@OrigamiRobot I just don't get that sense of wonkiness that you do.

GnomeSlice

12:45 PM

Hm.

My flair still hasn't adjusted itself.

OrigamiRobot

Are you joking? The controls are so unresponsive.

On purpose, likely.

Fluttershy

@OrigamiRobot I'm not joking. <_< I don't feel like the controls are unresponsive at all.

@GnomeSlice Do you have 32 pieces?

GnomeSlice

@Fluttershy ?

Fluttershy

@GnomeSlice Of flair.
