The Bridge

Jason Berkan

7:00 PM

@KevinvanderVelden I fail to see how that is better than any Heroes game.

Kevin van der Velden

@JasonBerkan it takes many hours less

FEichinger

@Lazers The clue is in the title.

Jason Berkan

@FEichinger He's installed a GTA4 mod?

FAE

@FEichinger 42. 42 mods! Just... wow.

FEichinger

@FAE And then they're surprised it crashes ...

Yuki

7:02 PM

@FAE I think we've seen more though.

FEichinger

But reading the crash log would also already reveal all the necessary information to fix it.

Unionhawk

The FTB pack has something to the order of 90 mods...

Kevin van der Velden

@FEichinger @FAE 42 isn't much. I've got... 130 or so I think

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden This. I was just going to mention that 42 really isn't much.

James

Yeah 42 mods is actually pretty low in common day minecraft modding

FAE

7:03 PM

@KevinvanderVelden I don't play Minecraft anymore really, and I only played vanilla when I did, outside of texture packs, so that seems like a lot to me.

James

installing just Forge gets your list of mods to start at 6-7

FAE

Well, I used OptiFine.

John

Grr was about to reject this edit only to find it was approved 10 seconds ago.

I hate that.

Unionhawk

A lot of minecraft mods are broken up into like, 4 mods these days. One for worldgen, one for some other stuff... etc

John

Oh hey, you're already talking about that question >.>

Arperum

7:04 PM

@FAE The mini-modpack I play with @Jochem is around 40 mods IIRC.

FEichinger

gaming.stackexchange.com/review/suggested-edits/70465 <insert hamstare>

John

@FEichinger I HIT THE REJECT BUTTON

BUT WAS 10 SECONDS TOO LATE

FAE

Okay, I get the point now, guys. <_< Jochem's also telling me this verbally so now I'm both reading it and hearing it. :P

FEichinger

@FAE Yay!

Arperum

@FAE Poor you :p

FEichinger

7:05 PM

Seriously, though, getting into two-digit mod numbers is the point at which I just wouldn't be surprised by a crash.

John

I currently run 168

Yuki

@FAE Oh hey, that's not a lot of mods.

John

Loading takes forever, but it rarely crashes.

FEichinger

And if I'm not capable of reading a bloody crash log for, what, two lines, then 40 mods is too much.

FAE

@Yuki Hush you, go watch Rebuild again, then we'll talk.

FEichinger

7:06 PM

@FAE You evil, evil creature.

Arperum

@FEichinger The Feed the beast "Monster" pack I have an install of has 175 mods. Or that's the number listed in the menu anyway.

John

@Arperum I'm missing 7? D:

FEichinger

@Arperum It's also hand-crafted for compatibility.

Unionhawk

^ That

FAE

@FEichinger :D

Arperum

7:07 PM

@John If you click "modify pack" you can add/remove a couple, I added some from the default disabled ones.

FEichinger

It's one thing to use a modpack that's designed not to crash. It's another to just mash a bunch of mods together and then hope it doesn't crash.

John

@Arperum Oh, I see

RedRiderX

@FEichinger Very this

Although a modding api might help a tad with that.

Arperum

@John I have 9 mods left disabled in that list.

RedRiderX

nudge nudge wink wink nudge wink nudge

Arperum

7:08 PM

@RedRiderX Forge does just that.

RedRiderX

@Arperum True

Arperum

@FEichinger True.

FAE

@Arperum I was literally waving my hands at him going "Nooooo, staaaahp."

Unionhawk

"I'm already hearing all about it on the bridge, I get it"

FAE

@Unionhawk That's pretty much what I followed that up with.

Arperum

7:10 PM

@FAE I think Jochem is one of these people who can talk for hours about Minecraft mods. (Same here though

FAE

@Arperum Yes. Or KSP.

...he talks a looooot about KSP.

Unionhawk

Well, on that note, I'm off to eat breakfast. Or lunch. Whatever the hell you eat after waking up at 1:30 on a university-is-closed day.

FAE

Our guild does secret santa, and for it, one of our friends got him a 3D printed Jeb from Shapeways.

Arperum

@FAE I should really get myself into that one day, I bought it, but haven't played much

FAE

@Unionhawk Breakfast! First meal of the day.

@Arperum Same.

Q: Which Pokémon are Bankmon?

I am trying to complete the National Pokédex. However I can't find a list of bankmon anywhere. I don't want to look into each entry on serebii or bulbabpidia, I want a list.

pokemon-xy

FAE

I'm happy he's having fun with it though. He games less than I do, in general. He's a lot more picky about how he spends his free time.

Arperum

It doesn't help that I keep adding games to my list though

FAE

@Arperum I wish I didn't have this problem.

GnomeSlice

I wish I had never discovered video games.

FAE

@GnomeSlice But then you'd never know us!

John

7:13 PM

@GnomeSlice Simple. Just be broke. Solves a lot of problems.

GnomeSlice

@FAE Blame @Mana for that.

Arperum

@FAE Today I added Might & Magic X (Thanks to @Sterno)

GnomeSlice

@John I am broke.

Arperum

HamStare @Sterno

John

@GnomeSlice Well then what's the problem?

GnomeSlice

7:14 PM

@John I spend all my time reading about games, and buying cheap games even though I shouldn't.

John

@GnomeSlice If you're still buying games, you aren't broke enough.

FAE

@Arperum I haven't played one of those since like... the 3rd or 4th one.

Jason Berkan

@FAE $2.49, right now, on GoG.

FAE

@JasonBerkan Doooooon't dooooooooooo thaaaaaaaaaaat.

Jason Berkan

@FAE I'm sorry. So far I've avoided buying anything, though if any of the Ultimas past III are for sale...

RedRiderX

7:20 PM

@JasonBerkan Hmm when did they start coming out?

you could almost judge the sale time by that

Jason Berkan

Ultima IV was mid80s.

RedRiderX

@FAE T-00:47 mins left

FAE

@JasonBerkan I need to not look at this sale at all. I still have yet to play Steam sale games from last year.

Ullallulloo

Ohhh, snnaaappp.

RedRiderX

ah okay it might be soon then

Jason Berkan

7:21 PM

Exact mid 80s in fact (1985).

Ullallulloo

@John Everything's happening.

RedRiderX

Oh okay it might not be on sale then

judging by past behaviour.

John

@Ullallulloo YAAAAY

I literally just checked for the update

and it wasn't here

time to check again!

Jason Berkan

Though Ultima IV is free on GoG, so that may be why they wouldn't put it in a sale.

Ullallulloo

@John I'm not sure when it's releasing.

John

7:22 PM

Oh snap, Phoenix released too?!

@Ullallulloo Oh

Well still!

Ullallulloo

But Spring festival, Terrorblade, Phoenix, 6.80, Random Ability Draft, Replay Takeover

> Holding ALT and clicking on an ability will now issue a context-sensitive ping for that ability

user15026

This thing is longer than some essays I have written.......

Ullallulloo

Even that's cool!

John

:D

RedRiderX

@JasonBerkan Yeah they have like 3 Ultima games for free.

Ullallulloo

7:25 PM

Dropping tomorrow I hear.

RedRiderX

Although some are a little... strange

John

@Ullallulloo Aw I was hoping for tonight :P

Ullallulloo

@John Test client's is tonight, if you're desperate. ;)

John

@Ullallulloo XD

There's still like 20 heroes I've never played before...

I think I should learn them before downloading the test client :3

Ullallulloo

They even went back to Day 2 and updated the 6.80 changelog with Phoenix.

John

@Ullallulloo Sneaky

user15026

Is there a way to copy and paste this with the formatting, or am I fucked?

RedRiderX

7:30 PM

What?

user15026

I wrote a meta post in word

RedRiderX

oh.

yeah

umm

user15026

and then I went to copy and paste it in the answer box and it is just like WALL OF TEXT

RedRiderX

Lol...

7:30 PM

......I am not going to get good news, am I.....

Unionhawk

Nope.

RedRiderX

you should really be writing md in plaintext

fredley

@AshleyNunn There must be a tool for converting clipboard to markdown

RedRiderX

Have you written Markdown or is it formatted in Wordspeak?

@fredley There is a word macro

user15026

Eh, I manhandled it into submission well enough for now, but I appreciate the offer!

RedRiderX

Oh you have that answer there

@AshleyNunn It does sound like it would have been nasty

good job

showing word where to put it

user15026

@RedRiderX Thanks :) it's not the prettiest post, but at least now you can tell where the paragraphs and questions vs answers are

user15026

I am glad to have that done, it was making me feel all anxious the same way needing to write an essay for class does :P

RedRiderX

Heh yeah I guess it certainly feel like an assignment

fredley

7:36 PM

@AshleyNunn Will this be the longest meta thread ever I wonder?

user15026

@fredley I would think so, on pure word count, but then again, we've had some pretty intense discussions before. :)

fredley

@AshleyNunn Yeah. This one has no comments

Also if you de-duplicated out all the quotes it would probably be a lot less

RedRiderX

Ugh I wish I could edit meta posts D:

fredley

@RedRiderX Why can't you?

RedRiderX

<2k rep

Can only suggest edits

which you can't do on meta

fredley

7:39 PM

@RedRiderX Suggesting edits is the worst

Unionhawk

Isn't that by design that you can't edit?

user15026

@fredley This is true

RedRiderX

@Unionhawk Yes but that doesn't mean I can't UUUUGH about it

Unionhawk

@RedRiderX Yes it does.

RedRiderX

does not

Unionhawk

7:40 PM

It says right here, in the status-bydesign contract.

(I should turn off "ign->ing" correction for my autocorrect script)

RedRiderX

wat

Unionhawk

@RedRiderX It's a meta tag

RedRiderX

True

It's kindof a weird message though

Unionhawk

I think... does status-bydesign work?

It does. Huh.

TIL

RedRiderX

@Unionhawk Yes

Tim Stone

7:46 PM

@RedRiderX That's probably a bug, since there weren't any results to show to begin with.

RedRiderX

Yeah

And I don't even see it when I switch to an ignored tag

Tim Stone

Should probably only be displayed if something actually ended up being hidden.

Q: Why do I see an "Hiding Questions" message for non-existent tags?

When trying to view the Status-By-Design tag on Gaming.SE I see this message: This tag apparently doesn't exist, nor have I ignored it. When I try to view the tag page for a tag I have ignored, I don't see this message: Why is this message appearing?

Yeah I finally submitted an inconsequential MSO bug!!!!

Whoooohoo

MBraedley

@Arperum Agreed. Although I now have 155 hours on record for playing Trials Evolution for about 3 hours.

@fredley not a bloody clue

user15026

@fredley Possibly, but we don't all spend the same time periods in here, it is not impossible for people to find the same thing interesting enough to post more than once

@MBraedley Do I detect some Bridge burning?

MBraedley

@Krazer No, nothing like that. More quantum mechanical... something.

MBraedley

8:20 PM

Bell, although all the networks here are effectively the same in the urban areas

And even in some of the rural/cottage country areas

fredley

@Wipqozn Needs more CGI

RedRiderX

@MBraedley Especially since there are only like 3-4 available in a given city

MBraedley

@RedRiderX Well every carrier here is province wide, and each are in the 4 major urban areas, and most of the minor urban areas.

Potoooooooo

Potoooooooo or Pot-8-Os (foaled in 1773) was a famous 18th-century Thoroughbred racehorse who defeated some of the greatest racehorses and later became an influential sire. Background Pot-8-Os was a chestnut colt bred by Willoughby Bertie, 4th Earl of Abingdon, in 1773. He was sired by Eclipse, his dam Sportsmistress traced to Thwaites' Dun Mare from the number 38 family and she was sired by Warren's Sportsman. He was the first foal of Sportsmistress, who also produced the Epsom Derby winner Sir Thomas and the winners Jocundo, Roscius and Sulky. Pot-8-Os acquired the strange spelling of...

@MBraedley True

Ah yeah it is nice to have those new networks

8:27 PM

Or at least if they do that now it will be funny.

MBraedley

@RedRiderX They cover something like 98% of permanent residencies with at least 3G

@OrigamiRobot If anything, it will probably mean more

@OrigamiRobot i hope so too

It's my one complaint about Martha Jones.

RedRiderX

@OrigamiRobot Clara wasn't' really in love with the doctor was she?

OrigamiRobot

8:29 PM

@RedRiderX She was super flirty in the Christmas special (the one before last)

At least that was more for laughs though.

RedRiderX

@OrigamiRobot She seems to be that way with everyone

OrigamiRobot

@RedRiderX Right, which is why it's not really annoying.

RedRiderX

Same feeling

OrigamiRobot

I wasn't trying to imply she is in love with him, I just hope the older Doctor means they'll be staying away from that.

OrigamiRobot

8:38 PM

Given that I have only seen bits and pieces of the trailer, I have no idea why I should want to watch Frozen.

From what I've seen, the snowman looked really annoying.

Yuki

@OrigamiRobot Honestly, the trailer isn't that indicative of the movie.

The trailer was part of Disney's marketing campaign to get kids into the theatre.

And kids bring their parents.

OrigamiRobot

@Yuki Given everyone's praise of the movie, I kinda hoped so.

Yuki

Then, the parents find out it's actually a good movie.

They go home, write rave reviews.

Then, their friends go watch the movie.

It was ingenious.

fredley

@Yuki So how does making a bad trailer cause this again?

Surely if you make a good trailer, more people come in the first place?

Yuki

Basically, they marketed the movie towards the one audience that doesn't read reviews because they knew they had a really, really good movie that would get good reviews.

OrigamiRobot

8:40 PM

Right now I see the trailer and just think "This reminds me that I should rewatch Rise of the Guardians"

fredley

@Yuki ...

RedRiderX

@fredley It wasn't a bad trailer it was a kids trailer.

badp

Come for the grocieries, stay for the shopping, maybe.

Unionhawk

Shopping malls are where Apple stores, and clothing stores are.

Yuki

8:45 PM

Of course, that might have to do with the fact that we have three big dedicated grocery stores within a four mile radius.

Krazer

@Yuki you're clearly on the wrong side of the country: articles.chicagotribune.com/2010-09-26/business/…

OrigamiRobot
