12:00 AM
@StrixVaria now I'm going to eat because I'm depressed and crying and it's your fault
 
Normally I'd defend a crying lady, but I'm not entirely convinced you're a lady at all, miss baby-puncher.
 
It's apparently Meme Madness Month at Cheezburger.
 
@Ullallulloo Kinda, but better.
 
@Ullallulloo (I do want to say, by the way, that your email address is visible in that image).
 
12:07 AM
@GraceNote where?
oh, shoot
 
What does ruin this setup is that metro must run on the primary monitor and newly launched apps go by default there, hiding what's in the 5/6ths side of the scree.
 
crashes through a crashed Windows7 CRASHCEPTION
 
 
@Ullallulloo Want me to delete?
 
@GraceNote meh, it's an image and hard to find.
 
12:10 AM
@GnomeSlice I always see that and think, "Why would you ask a question about a Terran SCV?"
 
Aiite. You can always flag it at any time if you thing it must be removed.
 
@badp The top seven items are more serious.
 
@Fredy31 No.
 
I rushed to see what your email was... and then I realized I didn't particularly care. :P
 
So what are all those screen caps?
 
12:11 AM
@GnomeSlice lol, I forgot this argument.
@Fredy31 badp actually likes Windows 8.
 
lol
It can be great.
When will W8 Release?
 
@RavenDreamer Yeah, I figured that if someone searches through my history to find it, then they must be really interested in me, and I wouldn't really mind talking to them.
 
@Ullallulloo Or a stalker. shiftyeyes
 
It's mainly just that 484 that I don't want to get bigger.
 
Huh. Applying Leixia's style to a male does cause some... odd... nipple stretching.
 
12:14 AM
@RavenDreamer I'd be rather flattered to have a stalker.
Plus:
 
I could watch bra-and-panties Leixia jiggle in the creation mode for hours.
 
So I eventually gave up on and installed Chrome. Win8 helpfully asked which browser I wanted. I picked Chrome. Metro IE 10 is now gone. WTF?
:|
 
@badp It deletes your other browsers?
 
@GnomeSlice It's not deleted... just... gone
 
IE10 is gone from your computer? BEST THING THAT COULD EVER HAPPEN. exept maybe peace for all humans. or the death of IE7. or receiving a free copy of Mass Effect 3. or just adding another or to this sentence.
 
12:20 AM
I actually kinda enjoyed the completely chromeless experience of IE10
just why did it have to be crippled by no flash
 
@badp You have different coloured masks? :)
 
@James The mask is dark blue both cases.
 
@James Blue is for in here where he is blue because he has a diamond.

Q: What Defines Opponent Behaviour in 'Quick Battle'?

GnomeSliceWhen I play the 'quick battle' offline mode of Soul Calibur V, I get the impression that I'm fighting real player's characters being controlled by the game's AI. Some of these characters behave wildly different from one another, to the point that it almost feels like I'm fighting actual human pl...

 
Ahhhh
Thats the sound of having received knowledge :D
 
12:21 AM
Yellow is his default coloration normally, and what he had prior to diamondification.
 
So he has gold on twitter?
And on steam?
:p
 
You don't have Twitter Gold?
 
I don't really have a twitter. Period.
 
Dude, Twitter Gold is all the rage. Better than 4chan gold.
almost 12 dozen characters instead of 140!
full unicode support!
 
My last tweet was in august.
 
12:23 AM
annoy your friends who don't have twitter with permalinks!
 
Beautiful. http://t.co/dKz8wkm1
@MileyCyrus you seriously believe that crap? It's so ridiculously stupid. Go to hell.
 
Maybe steam group updates should be posted here
 
THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU
 
I'm not feeling compelled
at all.
ever.
 
It'll annoy Nick, so it's good enough.
Actually let's make it a ticker!!!!!!
mwaaahahahahaah.
 
12:27 AM
When I hear ticker I'm kinda "RUN LIKE HELL DAMN!". Damn you, Gears of war.
 
@NickT I think you mean Star Power compels you (Who knew Mario had it right!)
 
@badp w/e, I bailed on that group long ago
 
@badp do it
 
@Fredy31 I so do not blindly click you tube links while I am at work :P
 
12:29 AM
Should not be that bad.
 
@James It's just the star music from Super Mario Kart.
 
@GraceNote Ahhh, the sound of compelling!! :)
 
The sound of 1st place.
and everybody raging.
 
Too bad this wasn't bible.SE, or you would all be flagged for saying Star Power > Christ Power
 
12:31 AM
@NickT Yeah there are certain places on the internet I just don't go.
 
lol I just found this. Trying. pokemon-online.eu
 
@NickT I'm sure on atheism.SE you would have liked people of various religions coming in a saying how wrong you were.
 
There wasn't enough of a critical mass of evangelists to bother us
 
@Ullallulloo That site exists or is made up?
 
@James It did but it failed in beta.
 
12:46 AM
@Ullallulloo Seems fitting :)
 
@NickT But since there are more of you, it's fine to bother us?
 
meta.atheism.stackexchange.com might be a URL that would like, blow up the internet :)
 
@James Yes, there are jokes on meta.so about that. :P
 
@Ullallulloo Perfect! :D

Q: Politoed Breeding

Michel AyresPolitoed is an evolution from Poliwhirl when traded holding a King's Rock. It is one of Poliwag's final forms, the other being Poliwrath. in Bulbapedia says some moves can only be learned by breeding, and this is my question. When you Breed and evolution Pokemon, you will always get the first e...

 
12:49 AM
@Lazers Please tell me its not gotten to the point where you have to trade a pokemon while holding an item to power it up... cause.. just... /facepalm...
 
@James evolution is not necessarily a power up
 
@James Yes, it's been like that since the second gen, IIRC...
 
@Ullallulloo I also remember this
 
@Ullallulloo ... /facepalm Thank god I didnt play past Yellow...
 
@Fredy31 Installed!
 
12:50 AM
And if it was in yellow let me stay in my ignorance, but I think red/blue/yellow were all first gen...
 
@James I don't see any particular problem with evolution methods besides leveling
 
Yeah its some kind of pokemon stadium, more advanced, and online
great
 
@murgatroid99 meh, trading's annoying.
 
GameOn Material
 
@murgatroid99 Having methods besides leveling, no problem.. That particular one.. trading while holding an item? seems like... well Id have to be reallllly drunk in a brain storming session to go Woo Yeah! Lets go with that!!!
 
12:51 AM
Making it require a king's rock or whatever isn't really worse though.
 
@Ullallulloo with the global thing, it's actually not that bad
 
And even then I would have been very very sarcastic :)
 
@murgatroid99 Assuming you can get it back?
 
Now winning a battle with the pokemon while holding on to that item or after feeding it that item.. That makes sense to me... but.. trading??? Ugh
 
@Ullallulloo I got a couple of pokemon by trading for the thing that would evolve
@James I still have no idea what problem you have with trade based evolution.
 
12:53 AM
@murgatroid99 While I generally like the pokemon games and that genre overall (Really looking forward to the latest Final Fantasy since that seems to come into play a bit)
I am overall annoyed at the forced buy two copies of the game to get all the content of the game
That to me was the start of what everyone complains about now as Day 1 DLC
 
@James Or you could trade with other people
 
@murgatroid99 I am from the middle of no where.. That wasn't exactly an option for me :)
 
@James Anyway, getting every single pokemon in the entire pokedex is not exactly main story content. I don't think I have ever played a pokemon game in which I got every pokemon.
 
˙llɐ ʎǝɥ
 
@murgatroid99 I got em all in yellow, but I also owned red and blue and 2 gameboys, hehe
 
12:57 AM
inbound tf2 update
 
@James That's pretty impressive. But now I am confused. You don't like having to buy multiple games to get all of the content, but you got all of the first gen pokemon games
 
@RedriderX Let me help ya there... (╯°□°)╯ ︵ xɹəpıɹpəɹ
There we go :)
 
Oh dear, I seem to be getting all philosophical again.
 
@murgatroid99 And then I never bought another generation of the game from then on :)
 
@James Thanks, I just figured out how to do that and was anxious to try it out. :)
 
1:01 AM
@RedriderX Hehe, there is an IRC bot I can type: !Flip whatever I want, and it gives me that little drawing I pasted :)
I was just very excited to have a purpose to use it! :D
 
@ArdaXi here; I'll use some, punctuation.. improperly? That aught to help/
 
Anywho, came in to work early today.. Time for me to take off and head home :)
 
@James What, in this chat? Oh I didn't know that actually.
 
1:03 AM
@agent86 Well, yeah, but I came up with this roughly a year ago.
It's by no means original, but it's solid proof if my assumptions are granted.
 
@ArdaXi That looks right to me.
The thing is that even if we can't simulate a world, that could just mean that we are at the bottom of the simulation stack
 
Yes, but if we can simulate a world, it proves we're in a simulated world.
 
@ArdaXi Technically, I would say that is not necessarily true. If there is a real world, then someone is in it
 
Given that we can already run rudimentary simulations, this is pretty much proven.
@murgatroid99 Yes, but the odds are so astronomically low that they're negligible.
That's what this theorem proves.
 
@ArdaXi Just because the probability that we are in the real world is 0 does not mean that it is impossible
 
1:06 AM
@murgatroid99 No, but for all practical intents and purposes, it does.
That's the beauty of limits.
 
@ArdaXi My point is just that a proof that we are in a simulation with probability 1 is not an absolute proof that we are in a simulation
 
@murgatroid99 No, it can't be absolutely proven, but it's as much proven as anything.
 
@ArdaXi Well mathematical statements can be proven, and the statements (we are in a simulation, P(we are in a simulation)=1) are not equivalent
 
Basically, we can assert this with just as much certainty as we can assert any universal constant.
 
How do you do it?
 
1:09 AM
@murgatroid99 "We are in a simulation" is a statement that can never be proven or disproven.
 
@ArdaXi True, which is why I was arguing against your claim that you had a proof
Anyway, your proof only holds if we assume that humans will exist for all of eternity and will spend all of that time running detailed computer simulations
 
@murgatroid99 Then nothing can be proven.
 
@ArdaXi The fact that your proof did not demonstrate what it claimed to does not imply that there are no proofs
 
@murgatroid99 Not necessarily all of humanity.
 
@ArdaXi sorry, some sentient life form with a computer
 
1:12 AM
@murgatroid99 Exactly. Moore's Law dictates that given enough time, only one person with a computer can run millions upon millions of simulations.
 
@ArdaXi I don't see how that follows
 
Sorry about that, it's a little late, my brain's already gone into night-mode.
 
@ArdaXi I still don't see how that follows. Moore's Law should imply that given enough time, every computer should be powerful enough to run such simulations

Q: Is it possible to catch all the pokemons on a gameboy emulator?

JayI am currently playing Pokemon LeafGreen on a gameboy emulator. Is there any way to catch all the pokemons? I understand that to get all the pokemons, you need to trade to get pokemons that is not found in LeafGreen(does anybody have a source which lists all the possible pokemons that can be obt...

 
@Ullallulloo yes
 
1:15 AM
The problem is the one about computers and/or sentient life lasting for infinite time
 
Infinity doesn't exist in nature
 
@NickT You can't know that.
@murgatroid99 True, but given Moore's law it stands to reason that we can eventually run a simpler version of our universe at a timestep faster than real-time.
You'll never reach infinity, of course, but you'll get pretty close to P = 0.
So in theory, p = 0. In practice, it will only come close.
It should be noted, however, that this fact applies to most of physics.
 
@ArdaXi What if we have the capacity to run simulations of the universe, but choose not to?
 
@murgatroid99 Then we have failed as self-made gods.
 
@murgatroid99 I would think that the odds of no sentient life form ever using the capability to run simulations despite having ready access to it similarly approaches zero.
 
1:22 AM
@murgatroid99 isn't there some law that says you can't simulate something on itself? (think it's meant for CPUs)
 
@NickT Ever heard of a virtual machine?
 
@NickT the only similar result I've ever heard about is talking about maths in maths terms
see: metamaths
 
@NickT Right, but we could simulate a universe simpler than ours appears to be
 
For all we know, in the superuniverse the speed of light is infinite.
 
@ArdaXi I am not sure what effect that would have on computation of simulations within that superuniverse
 
1:24 AM
Hey guys, I see you're all in an intense conversation haha and I don't mean to interrupt but do you guys have any suggestions for a quick recap on ME1 and ME2? I've played each through a few times but I'm just looking for a refresher before Tuesday.
 
- Fixed a case where capturing a point in overtime would end the round before time could be added
yes
 
Or do you think they'll do it in the game?
 
@murgatroid99 It was simply an example.
@murgatroid99 There would have to be some kind of rate limit on the simulation for it to be simpler than their universe.
 
@VianEsterhuizen I think IGN did some ME + ME2 recap videos awhile back.
 
@ArdaXi I guess that would make sense. I was thinking of choosing a center point and lowering the simulation resolution as you move away from it.
That way, life would only develop in one area and they wouldn't really be able to tell what is happening on a small scale far away
 
1:29 AM
@Wipqozn found ME one, didn't find ME2, maybe I'll try again. Thanks though. Just trying to watch a couple different videos and read some stuff. Hard game to forget anything from but last playthrough of the two was over a year ago.
 
uhhh… how do you put Win8 to sleep.
 
@badp Give it a warm glass of milk.
 
@badp uninstall
 
When's Diablo 3 coming out
 
When Blizzard feels like it
I'm not a die hard fan or anything, but what I played through of the Beta I really enjoyed. Looking forward to it.

Hello all
 
2:01 AM

smarter this time
 
did you boost your pokemon? I'm getting destroyed
 
@Fredy31 I don't think so. Can you do that? :P
 
Well they have stats you can mess around with
 
I think we did something wrong
these are my old pokemon...
 
what
 
2:03 AM
can you hyperlink images in chat?
 
lol?
 
they might actually be boosted...
@NickT yes
 
oh thats why
 
how
 
@NickT []()?
 
2:04 AM
that doesn't display the image
 
No, you can't add a hyperlink to a one-box without extensive trickery.
 
@NickT oh, then I don't think so.
 
ah well
 
@Fredy31 I picked one...
 
2:05 AM
Will you send out your pokemon already? I cant wait to have my face crushed
 
@Fredy31 What in the world game is that???
 
not appearing for me
wait I'll try to go back to the original, non buggy interface
 
@Ktash I'm presuming it's this.
 
I think we have mismatch or something...
@Fredy31 Hey, mine looks like gen 5...
 
Wow, Pokemon Online has come a long way since I last looked into the project lol
 
2:07 AM
Yeah, I tried different interfaces,
the others seems to be buggy
If you come back in the chat I'll challenge you back

Q: Gameboy emulator to play Pokemon 1st gen on? (PC)

garrettI recently sold my Gameboy, but I now regret it because I want to play Pokemon :P. I have no clue where I could find an emulator though... I want to play Pokemon 1st gen if it matters, could anyone suggest an emulator?

 
Actually lazer's last question is related to what I was just going to ask lol
Is it alright to link to emulators? (Not ROMs)
 
different gen @Ullallulloo
did you change gen?
 
Now I'm stuck in Stadium tier...
 
Yeah, I did change to BW for challenging you
 
2:12 AM
Did you redo all yours into 5th gen?
 
Now I'm back in 1st gen
no I didnt
 
gah, I changed to 1st for you.
 
lets go both to first
 
@Fredy31 word order plz
 
?
 
2:14 AM
@Fredy31 okay
@Fredy31 The words 'both' and 'go' are switched from how you normally say it.
 
French Canadian rules. Disobey them you cant
 
@Fredy31 who's on first?
 
On Pokemon Online
Youre rebuilding your team?
 
@Fredy31 No, it's already 1st gen.
 
Sooo. Why arent you in the chat?
 
2:21 AM
@Fredy31 I don't know. I think my internet keeps cutting out and it doesn't automatically reconnect.
It says that you're busy.
 
@NickT Why on multiple levels.
 
Why do as soon as I down your blastoise it fails
 
@Fredy31 My Blastoise is conscious on mine.
 
What?
Start of turn 6
Farfetch'd used Fury Attack!
Ullallulloo's Blastoise lost 5% of its health!
Ullallulloo's Blastoise lost 4% of its health!
Hit 2 times!
Ullallulloo's Blastoise fainted!
 
2:26 AM
Start of turn 5
Fredy31's Farfetch'd used Fury Attack!
Blastoise lost 20 HP! (5% of its health)
Blastoise lost 18 HP! (4% of its health)
Blastoise lost 18 HP! (4% of its health)
Blastoise lost 19 HP! (5% of its health)
Blastoise lost 20 HP! (5% of its health)
Hit 5 times!

Blastoise is paralyzed! It can't move!

Start of turn 6
 
glitched again???
 
@Fredy31 apparently
Balstoise was fine that time too!
1st gen triple battle? :P
 
lol
Wanted to try it out
and glitched again
 
@Fredy31 Nope, I was just being slow. :P
yay!
 
And I got destroyed

Ice Beam's a beast.
 
Are you guys playing against each other in Pokemon Online?
 
@StrixVaria yes
 
I made a few teams in that about a year ago. I don't have any time to play right now, but maybe I'll try to dig it up later this weekend and see what I came up with.
It was pretty fun.
 
Yeah
I'm thinking about proposing a tournament for gameon
