6:12 PM
And @AshleyNunn saves the day with her hug gun!
 
@fredley I just compared you to John Oliver, man.
Haters gonna hate.
 
I mean, you're both, um, brits, and, er, male, and, um, that other thing. Yeah, you're both alive, too.
 
user15026
I forgot just how much I loved Call the Midwife. @OrigamiRobot @spugsley
 
@GnomeSlice Remember rule one.
> it cycles through a series of websites until the laptop’s battery gives out. The native Safari made the new Retina machine look good: 13 hours and 18 minutes. Google’s Chrome, on the other hand, forced the laptop to tap out at 9 hours and 45 minutes.
 
6:22 PM
@badp Who?
 
Today in Not Actually News.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz NaN
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's a pretty specific Rule One.
 
@badp No, that's not Rule One.
@badp Rule One is "If they are interested in you, they will make time for you."
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's, like, last week's Rule One. By now they've released several new models with much better specs.
 
6:27 PM
@badp Rule One is eternal.
 
You don't want to miss out on the New Rule One
 
English as She Is Spoke is the common name of a 19th-century book written by Pedro Carolino, and falsely additionally credited to José da Fonseca, which was intended as a Portuguese–English conversational guide or phrase book, but is regarded as a classic source of unintentional humour, as the given English translations are generally completely incoherent. The humour appears to be a result of dictionary-aided literal translation, which causes many idiomatic expressions to be translated wildly inappropriately. For example, the Portuguese phrase chover a cântaros is translated as raining in jars...
I must find a copy of this book.
(and yes, I know the text is online. I want the physical object on my shelf.)
> Friendship of a child is water into a basket.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I have this book
On my shelf
 
@fredley Gimme.
 
It seems like it would not be fun unless you knew Portuguese
 
6:37 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Haha
 
@Sterno False.
 
Slightly foxed
 
@Wipqozn I had a similar situation except my roommate stopped paying me (I was the one who paid the landlord).
 
@Sterno Our money comes directly from our bank accounts.
From what I understand, I won't be held accountable for the cash if he doesn't pay.
I'm going to get in touch with the nova scotia tenancy and ask them some questions about it.
 
His mom was sending him money and he used that to pay rent to me at first while he looked for a job. Except I don't think he ever actually looked despite saying he did. Then he stopped paying me. I let it slide a month or two since he said he was looking for a job and I wasn't breaking the bank, but then I talked to him and he paid me for a few more months. Then stopped again. His mom was still sending him money... He was just using it for more fun things
eventually I had to tell him to pay me (though i'd forgive the 6 months he owed) or move out. Not because I needed the money but I wasn't going to enable him to sit on his ass all day.
I phrased it more diplomatically.
 
6:46 PM
Yeah, I imagine you did.
 
he moved back home to his parents basement and still lives there.
but the friendship survived!
 
I told him that when the lease is up for renewal I won't be renewing it with him, which he said he understands.
I'm going to leave it be until the start of may. I'm hoping he'll go talk to his mother to borrow money from her, but I'm not sure he will.
 
I have since discovered that the best option is not having a roommate
 
@Sterno That's my plan come october
or, well, sooner, if he needs to move out.
 
So I was at my high schools fundraising gala last night. (basically, they have an open bar and a silent and live auction. They make ridiculous amounts of money for tuition assistance). One of the teachers "I know I'm getting old when I see students come back with a drink in their hand"
 
6:50 PM
cc @Less
 
@fredley Do you like the gaming?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz At what pack will you that we does play?
 
...
 
@fredley did @gnomephone write a book?
 
You two are provably insane.
 
6:53 PM
@fredley The club's King!
 
@AshleyNunn The rivalry fields?
 
user15026
@Frank Yeah
 
user15026
I have no idea what I am doing
 
@AshleyNunn what are you confused about?
 
user15026
@Rapitor All of it
 
6:54 PM
@AshleyNunn When their "term" is up, you can go to the guild, and apply to use the field. At which point, it's a competition between you, the previous user, and probably another person.
 
oh, well then.
 
There's two types of competitions: Most shipped, and festivals.
 
user15026
@Frank oh, okay, so what do I do until then?
 
three types*
 
6:55 PM
most shipped, most profit, and festival
 
@AshleyNunn You have the root field.
 
Very merit, such order
 
user15026
@Frank Well yeah
 
Which you can use until your term is up, and one of the other farmers wants it.
At which point, you choose the competition, and it goes down as usual.
 
no, when your term is up yo just renew it at the guild hall, no trouble. if you forget to renew another farmer just buys it off of you @Yuuki can confirm
 
6:57 PM
@Rapitor Er? I just left it, and then Fritz wanted it, so I got to choose the competition.
 
@fredley Let's play Even or non even
 
hm, maybe it depends on the farmer. the rich fancy guy bought it from @Yuuki.
i haven't forgotten to renew yet, so idk
 
(For the uninitiated: this book was written in 1883 as a serious attempt at a phrase-book for people visiting England)
 
That's a good point, though; you can (theoretically) win all the fields and then just renew them ad-nauseum.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I know so if she's like well idk why I'm doing yet that's bad right
 
6:59 PM
 
what
 
But the competitions raise your reputation with the other farmers, especially when you win.

@Frank that's the plan for me. i'm just waiting for tea and paddy field to expire
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Not necessarily
 
user15026
7:00 PM
Don't overthink everything
5
 
@Rapitor You won't gain nearly as much rep with the other farmers, but that's only really important in Eda's case, since you're on such a short time limit.
 
user15026
you'll drive yourself mad
 
@GnomeSlice Maybe. Maybe not! Sometimes people are legitimately busy! But it does mean that you should keep your persistence in check and your expectations reasonable!
(Don't forget Rule Two, the Creeper's Corollary: show affection proportionate to that which has been shown to you!)
 
I am the best at over thinking everything
And yeah obviously
 
oh I'm already in winter, that stuff went down already
 
7:02 PM
Was English as she is spoke written through autocorrect?
 
Yes
 
@GnomeSlice Basically
 
i don't care about rep with other people. only marriage
 
19th Century Autocorrect
 
(I think it was dictionary translations of Portuguese phrases)
 
7:02 PM
@Rapitor Did you get the events for her?
 
Imagine if @GnomeSlice published a Phrasebook for Portuguese, using his phone to type it, without proofreading it
 
nope
 
Ugh guh hug huh
Wtf
 
user15026
I suspect I will miss her events as I have no idea what I am doing.
 
@AshleyNunn Smother her in Turnip soups.
 
user15026
7:05 PM
@Frank Well, yes but I need reputation along with the FP
 
user15026
and the rep is where I am feeling rather table-flip about it
 
Barring that, fresh veggies. Win conquests and festivals, if you can, and then, enter her house around 1:30 on sunny days.
 
I do like the gaming
 
user15026
@Frank I am not likely to win anything in time
 
That shoukd be our new room name
The Gaming
 
7:06 PM
@AshleyNunn Harvest festivals are easy.
 
user15026
@Frank For you, perhaps.
 
Pick a regrowable crop, and just fertilize it every day.
 
winter is tough... weather does not water crops ;\
 
user15026
I am just like "this is so much work aaaaa"
 
The rest, not so much.
 
7:09 PM
Blah I hate my stupid braids
8
Brain
 
@AshleyNunn wanna know a cheap exploit-ish way to make money since you are also on seedling?
 
user15026
@Rapitor Sure!
 
Btw it turns out following playboy bunnies and fitness models on instagram is a great way to get huge numbers of spam accounts to follow you
4
 
buy yellow pearls from the antique shop all times. they cost 2800, but sell for 3k
 
That's dirty
 
7:13 PM
very
 
Can you buy as many as you want?
 
no the shop has a stock
 
Oh lame
 
but its still like extra payment every day the shop is open
 
@rapitor do you know The Chaotic?
Pretty Euro but I dig
I guess I better go fack the euro
Back to work
Does iOS correct to recent words or somethinv
Whatever bye
 
7:26 PM
@lazers hasnt posted questions in a while. did it asplode?
 
user15026
I think the various question feeds went boom.
 
@fredley looked at them funny
 
7:41 PM
Does anyone know where to put cheats in Nintendont. I made the .gct file but I don't know what to do next. I would ask a question but the website said I can't ask a question until tomorrow.
 
Just watched The Girl Who LEpt through time. It was good.
 
8:07 PM
If someone does this to you, they have no respect for you at all. https://vine.co/v/ezBYEgVlzjF
I can't stop watching the vine because it's just so ridiculous.
 
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
 
What's Nintendont?
 
I had a shoot today and it was AMAZING
 
Nice
That's actually dope
 
the only thing that would have made it better was getting paid but oh well yay portfolio building
 
8:13 PM
Y u no get paid
 
because I undervalue and second guess my talent level constantly
 
Well don't
 
lol
 
8:30 PM
@GnomeSlice Says who.
 
Why am I so on edge
Says who what
@Arperum
 
@GnomeSlice The guy who is constantly being super not confident in his own capacities says that someone else shouldn't do exactly that.
 
Yes well
Do as I say not as I do
 
8:49 PM
how everybody out?
 
user15026
9:08 PM
I have watched 4 episodes of Call the Midwife today. I think I am going to go out for some Chinese (for reals this time, I didn't end up doing so yesterday) after ep 5, because show is good, but also can be damn depressing.
 
nn people
 
@AshleyNunn Mmmmm, chinese sounds good right now
@spugsley Yay
 
user15026
@Ktash Doesn't it? :D
 
9:26 PM
I made myself some cereal for now, but Chinese food may need to happen later...
If the Chinese place is open on Sundays. It should be... hopefully
 
user15026
Cereal is one of those things I want to like but never quite do for very long.
 
chinese cereal?
 
See, I love cereal. I love most all breakfast foods
 
user15026
@Ktash I love breakfast, just never really caught to cereal like I did the rest
 
9:30 PM
pancakes or waffles
 
user15026
@fredley Okay, this is rather awesome
 
@fredley -1, no sound
 
@badp Which video did you get?
 
@Ktash I dunno, thin cereal bars
 
Ah, I got Clarissa Explains it All intro, and then I think Josie and the Pussycats intro
 
9:43 PM
Upon reloading it was California Dreams
possibly a whole episode?
 
i got mr t cereal
 
Ah, nope, take it back, it was Jem
 
user15026
@Ktash Clarissa Explains it all was such a good show
 
@AshleyNunn Yep. I just started downloading it because I realized I'd never got it
Should have it all in about an hour and a half lol
 
user15026
awesome. :D
 
10:00 PM
Who wants to watch My Date with the President's Daughter with me?
 
user15026
@Ktash I have no idea what that is.
 
My Date with the President's Daughter is a 1998 television film produced by Buena Vista Home Entertainment and Walt Disney. The film premiered as part of ABC's revival of The Wonderful World of Disney. It was shot in various locations around Toronto, Ontario, Canada. == §Plot == Duncan Fletcher (Will Friedle) is an average teenager in search of a date to his school's spring dance. At the mall with his friends, he meets a girl named Hallie (Elisabeth Harnois) who just happens to be the daughter of the President of the United States, George Richmond (Dabney Coleman). Duncan, not realizing this, asks...
 
user15026
Sounds like a fun movie.
 
user15026
But, I have finished another CtM ep, so time to find some dinner.
 
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Every single fucking person on this planet is beautiful. It makes my heart ache to think about how beautiful people are
and that my job is literally to capture that beauty and make them see how beautiful they really are
 
10:05 PM
I dunno if I'd say every person, but there are certainly some beautiful people out there. :P Unless you mean in a purely physical sense.
 
@spugsley eh, I don't think Putin is all that beautiful.
@Fluttershy I like how we both made the same joke, but mine was slower.
JOKE BUDDIES
 
@Wipqozn You're a turtle, I'm a pony. It makes sense.
 
@spugsley beautiful or not, people do stupid shit and i end up having to clean it up
 
@Fluttershy I actually do mean physical.
people are just visually beautiful
 
@Fluttershy That reminds me, I still need to watch MLP
How long has th enew season been out? Because that's how many weeks behind I am.
 
10:06 PM
from today's shoot
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
 
she's pretty
 
@spugsley that's a nice shot of a good looking lady :)
 
yeah, she was freaking great. I was photographing promo and head shots for a TV show starting in June here in Charlotte, NC
five gorgeous ladies and a production crew to photo. I was in HEAVEN

Q: Someone in the house (URGENT)

AlchemistI think there might be someone in the house. It's night and dark and I can't see outside. The door's locked bit I heard some sounds. It could be just my imagination. what should I do. there's only my little sister here and I don't want to scare her either. Is there any way to make sure what's go...

 
i'm moderately confused at what that massive necklace is supposed to be
 
10:08 PM
This...ugh
 
@spugsley hawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwt
 
@Rapitor I think it works for her. Photographed nicely :)
I like jewelry that catches light like that
 
@spugsley Very nice :D
 
@Ktash I'm so freaking ecstatic. It felt so nice and professional today
I was like legit
 
You are legit. And I've got the amazing prints to prove it!
speaking of which, I need to go get those new ones some frames soon...
 
10:12 PM
:DDDDDD
OMG
BETTER YET those prints may actually be worth money hahahaha
 
I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because you should call the police — Tom Medley 9 secs ago
 
one of the husbands that was on set today is the curator for Charlotte Fine Art Center
and HE WANTS TO EXHIBIT MY SHIT
my fine art shit
 
But no amount of money would make me sell!! (But you can sell more and that would be awesome!!)
 
@fredley LIFEHACK
 
@spugsley WAHOOOOOOOOO
 
10:13 PM
I can never tell which questions on Lifehacks are trolls and which are serious.
 
he was looking at my website on his laptop while I was shooting and he was like OH! You aren't just commercial. You make ART. And I was like YES! Art is my first love
 
@spugsley YAY!!!! :D :D :D
 
I KNOW
@Wipqozn isn't that the problem with lifehacks in general?
 
@spugsley That's one of the problems./
 
@Wipqozn I think you need a lifehack solution for that!
> How to tell if a question is serious or troll if all I have is these items?"
 
10:27 PM
@Chippies VTC because Poe's Law?
 
So, is anyone going to show for Sunday Movie Night?
If so, it might be a little late (5 minutes, give or take).
 
same movie?
 
Yes.
Trying to see if anyone missed it.
 
I could be game for watching the first few minutes I've missed twice
but not the whole thing, so if it's just me, forgeddaboutit
 
user15026
@wipqozn I just finished my 50th book for the year.
 
10:42 PM
Calling all D3 people (@Chippies) Do you get better gear (not chance of better gear) on harder difficulties?
 
Well, it doesn't look like there's critical mass, so no Sunday Movie Night.
 
(maybe)
@Wipqozn Did you beat Pillars of Eternity yet, or have you given up like a coward?
 
@Sterno I'm still playing through it.
 
@Sterno Huh. That runs counter to the accuracy bonus not stacking.
 
The +12 thing for being single-handed and not using a shield, or something else?
 
10:51 PM
I was finding hard too easy, so I bumped it up to POTD using a mod, and then I came across a gang of mind controlling flowers and ti was terrible.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I haven't actually tested myself. I assumed it worked like your answer said. But that other guy seemed to have SCIENCE
 
@Sterno Yeah.
 
I really wish there was a way to swap weapon sets but keep your shield
(in essence, just changing your mainhand weapon)
@Wipqozn Hard actually was surprisingly easy once I got to level 3 or so
(or, probably more accurately, when I got more than 3 party members)
I still hate shades though
I'm also not that far into the game. I just got to Defiance Bay
 
11:03 PM
@James T1 is the line where you start getting "better" gear
but it's only for certain legendaries and the good sets
the rest drops on all difficulties
once you are doing T1 or higher, any gear can drop
 
@Rapitor It also doesn't always happen.
 
also, difficulty doesn't affect kadala at all
 
@Sterno Did you detour to pick up Hiravias before heading to Defiance Bay? Because you should do that ASAP
Because Hiravias rules.
 
Ah, kewl.
I am just running my level 70 crusader through the story
 
you can get T1+ gear from kadala even if all you're doing is normal
 
11:05 PM
The drops seem reasonable even on normal :)
 
@James if you can do T1, I would suggest doing that
the end game sets are T1+ only
 
Yeah but going through rifts has such a huge advantage in loot drops and such
That I am not looking to grind loot on the story, just pick up a few guarenteed legendaries (and 2 more so far) and get to the act Ive not played before
 
@James I'm not sure if it's still a thing, but there was a time when act bosses were guaranteed to drop a legendary
 
@Chippies Still a thing.
 
@James well in that case, you should at least switch to T1 for those fights
 
11:08 PM
@Chippies I dont think it matters for those
The items are usually pretty set
Its just the random drops
 
Idk, maybe so
 
And again, I can just run Rifts :D
 
Eh, I'd hate to know that this crap-salvage legendary could've been the set item I need :P
 
And by not playing on Torment I am making sure thats not the case :)
 
@James Depends on how you think about it, I guess :P
I ran a tier 29 grift with 2 friends today, that was way beyond our capabilities, lol
but we somehow even finished on time
I died so many times, all my gear was broken and I had to go to town and fix it
 
11:11 PM
haha, niiice :)
 
QUICK, SOMEONE MAKE A DECISION FOR ME! GTA V OR DIABLO 3?
 
I think the highest I went so far was 22? but as you can see my gear sucked :D
 
@James I certainly wouldn't have soloed 29, that's for sure
I did check my dps at one point when everyone had their party buffs up, I had 1.6mil damage
if only I could always have that high damage :P
 
@Chippies D3 now GTA V later :)
 
@James that's exactly what I was thinking :P
 
11:13 PM
My folks will be here in about 2 hoursa
Doing D3 until then pushing storyline as fast as I can
After they are gone Ill do a little GTA V and The Escapists :D
 
I can't settle on anything in D3 right now. I was a Crusader last season, a monk before seasons were a thing, and now I don't know what to play this season.
I started a Demon Hunter, got it to level 10. Hated it. Now I'm on a barbarian.
 
@Fluttershy Want some suggestions?
 
@Wipqozn Is your suggestion going to be Pillars of Eternity, or Bloodborne?
 
@Fluttershy It was going to be Sushi.
 
@Fluttershy I have a wizard a barb a crusader and... my imps just killed leoric while typing this
 
11:20 PM
bleh. greater rift tier 20 beaten in 16:12 stupid poison boss of a lot of pain.
 
@Fluttershy I hadn't played a barb since expansion launch, now I'm a barb in S3 and I am loving it so much
 
HELLO
PEOPLE
 
@Chippies whirlwind is a ton of fun
 
PACKING UP THE HOUSE
FUN TIMES
 
@Arperum it is, although I'm not using it yet
running a rend and furious charge build until I get more set pieces for a WW build
 
11:29 PM
@Chippies I have a ring that adds 385% weapon damage to my wirlwind, nothing else.
but it's all kinds of amazing.
 
@Arperum ah, yeah, I need that too
don't have one yet
 
I got my barb to 70 just today, I was lvl 66, and then got boosted to paragon lvl 60 + a shitton of random loot by some old friend.
he was just running T6 rifts, and I was cowering in a corner far away from the action.
By the end I was running just a little bit behind him though, and if I used all I got, I could kill a single trashmob.
Couldn't take too big of risks because hardcore.
That guy got a lvl 35 rift in < 5 minutes with two people later on.
 
@Arperum are you still doing HC only? I can read!
 
@Chippies Mostly.
 
HC is too... hardcore
 
11:35 PM
@Chippies It's fun.
 
I got pretty much all the achievs in HC and switched back to SC
I can't stand the thought of losing hundreds of hours of progress
 
I did have two "oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, PANIC" moments during my first tier 20 rift ever.
Especially since I never even did a tier 16+ rift before (and exactly one tier 16 rift earlier today)
Entering a rift that might be above your capacities and immediately getting two champion packs with walls and frozen was not a perfect start.
I got all but four hardcore achievements since today.
being "kill these specific dudes" and "kill champ of all types X" kinda things.
I finished the last few kill boss on torment without crowd control today.
 
I once lost my lv67 barb on hard difficulty, it was excruciatingly painful
not because I lost it, but because it took so long and I had absolutely no control over it
I got freeze-locked by an elite pack and I watched as they slowly chipped away at my health
 
I need to be carefull when blasting thourhg the lower tier rifts, because I'm going to end up with a tier 20+ keystone and no way of using it.
(I got from tier 11 to tier 20)
but now it's bedtime. nearing 2 AM and I have to work tomorrow.
 
I usually wait 10 minutes before passing the rift, unless I'm well geared already and don't care for legendaries
advancing only once per run means you get way more legendaries per key
 
11:43 PM
I know, but I couldn't be bothered to wait.
I still need a ton of the legendary gems too.
I did get a portal to the vault before I even did a greater rift though. so first legendary gem I got was the gold one.
 
I had just finished a rift last week, and went to turn everything in…then decided to pop back through my town portal to kill time while I waited for the countdown to finish.
So I re-enter, hear a “squee hee hee!”, take two steps to the right, and this happened:
 
Treasure rooms are awesome :D
 
And I’m running around screaming NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO AAAAAHHHH trying to do as much damage as I can before the rift closes, but alas, it was far too late.
 
looks at the sand cat
 
Haven’t played D3 since. :(
 
11:59 PM
Just encountered a Gelatinous Spawn for the first time, it's the most fun goblin of all :D i.imgur.com/wxq1m2L.jpg
it splits into smaller goblins when it dies
