I'd still be watching

fredley

@badp I would watch it, but the video is really flickery for me

badp

@fredley huh. Vimeo recently switched to HTML 5 video. Firefox acting up?

Played fine on my Chromebook. Which won't be mine in 48 hours.

Question: What is an "abstract" board game?

fredley

8:06 PM

@badp This machine is 5 years old

@badp I will be getting one of those shortly soon I expect

badp

@fredley I really have enjoyed using mine. Also because my other laptop is a POS

@Yuki 01:40 "It's a game where luck and theme have nothing to do with strategy"

fredley

@badp Yeah. We need a new laptop and it'll almost certainly be a chromebook

badp

We?

Yuki

@badp Yeah, that didn't explain much for me. So, it's like chess?

badp

@Yuki Yes, I suppose. I read the sentence as, it's not something you can roleplay and it's got no dice rolls in it

Sconibulus

8:10 PM

@Yuki Yeah, I think it's like Chess, but not Risk. Like Draughts, but not Settlers

Yuki

That game actually looks kinda interesting.

spugsley

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Sconibulus

probably has to be perfect information, non-random, weak or no theme

@Fluttershy yes white rice is tasty and is one of the few things I can eat while my shitty intestines figure shit the fuck out

@spugsley Something from my grandma. Really does help if you're having some problems in that regard. You don't need to like drink it straight or anything, just eating some rice without draining it super completely will be fine.

There is a hexagon shaped air current surrounding Saturn's north pole

Yuki

@GnomeSlice It's been there for awhile, IIRC.

OrigamiRobot

:(

GnomeSlice

@Yuki It's probably been there forever.

Yuki

Also, why did you link to a tumblr?

Random metal music was annoying.

Saturn's hexagon

Saturn's hexagon is a persisting hexagonal cloud pattern around the north pole of Saturn, located at about 78°N. The sides of the hexagon are about long, which is longer than the Earth's diameter. It rotates with a period of , the same period as Saturn's radio emissions from its interior. However, the hexagon does not shift in longitude like other clouds in the visible atmosphere. Saturn's south pole does not have a hexagon, according to Hubble observations. But it does have a vortex, and there is also a vortex inside the northern hexagon. Saturn's polar hexagon discovery was made by ...

OMG, Chat.SE one-box has an appropriate thumbnail for a Wikipedia article.

GnomeSlice

@Yuki Somebody linked me to it. I didn't hear any music, sorry.

Yuki

8:54 PM

WTF.

GnomeSlice

Jewelbeat raised their prices. =[

$2.99 per track now, instead of $0.99

MBraedley

@GnomeSlice Yeah, I think I'll stick to Kevin McLeod for future royalty free music.

SaintWacko

@GnomeSlice wow, that's a huge jump

GnomeSlice

@MBraedley Jewelbeat has a couple features I really like. Namely, they provide different versions of the same track for different time lengths, or other scenarios.

OrigamiRobot

@Yuki Clearly you must be a witch.

And not the good kind like @GraceNote.

GnomeSlice

8:58 PM

Example

My current project is exactly 30 seconds long.

So a track designed for 30 secs which I don't have to mangle myself is ideal.

MBraedley

@GnomeSlice Kevin McLeod does have some songs that he offers in full, stinger, etc.

GnomeSlice

The only problem with jewelbeat is their selection is not always what you want

Audiojungle is the place to go for project audio.

but it's more expensive.

And according to paypal I spent almost $700 last year.

So... I should stop doing that.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Yes.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn Yes.

MBraedley

@GnomeSlice and when I can get Kevin McLeod music for the price of a creative commons attribution, why would I?

Wipqozn

9:01 PM

@GnomeSlice Yes.

GnomeSlice

@MBraedley Namely, stuff better suited to your project.

Grace Note

...huh. This question of mine has almost 2000 more views on it than this question that I repeatedly link, well over doubling the view counts. How curious.

GnomeSlice

Also, you probably don't want to have to put attribution in your client's project.

MBraedley

@GnomeSlice I often go to his music before the stuff I've bought from JewelBeat

GnomeSlice

@MBraedley Yes, but Jewelbeat isn't great at finding stuff well suited either. Audiojungle is fantastic though.

MBraedley

9:03 PM

@GnomeSlice Yeah, since this is my creation instead of a creation for a client, I can see how you'd want something that you don't have to give attribution for.

GnomeSlice

I used this one in a school project.

Great deal too.

Got it for $8

That's a steal

Billy Mailman

@GraceNote I kinda wanna go extra meta on that one about closing as duplicates, and close it as a dupe of meta.gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/8188

Grace Note

@BillyMailman I don't think closing a specific-case-study as a dupe of a general-methodology-discussion is healthy.

fredley

Is anyone in here on the Software Rec beta?

MBraedley

Okay, time to drive home through a snow storm. Wish me luck!

OrigamiRobot

9:10 PM

@MBraedley I don't think that's healthy.

Billy Mailman

@GraceNote I dunno, closing a specific case as a dupe of the general case seems like the exact correct thing to do, assuming the discussion on the general case is recent enough that there's no reason to hash it all out again. The question of how to handle something already has an answer.

Either way, I was really only making a joke about closing a question about closing a question as a duplicate of a newer question as a duplicate of a newer question about closing questions as duplicates of newer questions.

Grace Note

@BillyMailman Right, but not always are cases identical. Meta exists as a place for people to bring up issues about both general cases and specific cases. In general, the reason to bring up a specific case is because one believes that the motions for the specific case should differ from the norm that is suggested in the general case. Even if the final ruling is that we should still stick with the general case, it remains a different ruling so we keep them separate.

@fredley Yo.
