The Bridge

?

@BenBrocka Why not just get an external enclosure and do whatever you want?

I still have a power cable, a larger unit and enclosure + drives often isn't any cheaper (or is more expensive) than a plain external drive

gamer love =P

6:05 PM

@BenBrocka Unless the capacity you want is non-existent.

badp

@OrigamiRobot I'm not really want to go > 3 TB anyway due to price. This is just for redundant PC backups and PS3 backup

So you're just complaining for the sake of complaining? Why didn't you just say so!

What else would I do on The Bridge aside from complain?

You could have been complaining because you wanted to fix it.

All my input was useless because you didn't want to fix anything anyway.

6:09 PM

I do want to fix it, but external enclosures don't really solve the problem

They're allowing the formation of a Gay-Straight Alliance group, but they refuse to allow them to advertise its own existence.

@RonanForman Yes. 5.

@kalina Bah, you said you'd be willing to go exploring abandoned haunted places! I don't believe you anymore.

@OrigamiRobot in real life I wouldn't go exploring a minefield

@LProd Yarp

@OrigamiRobot Wormholes are very dangerous. Most people use either a fleet or a T3 ship to explore them

@fredley ...aaaaand... ...that means?

@kalina I am hereby revoking your adventurer's license.

@LProd Obviously it means no

6:29 PM

@OrigamiRobot you are mean

@SaintWacko I don't doubt they're dangerous.

@kalina You did this to yourself. You can have it back at the end of the semester.

@OrigamiRobot what the hell is a semester

o....kay?
And what about that MCEdit bit?

@fbueckert Think I found it.

Also, wtf?

6:30 PM

@LProd Have you heard of a thing called Google?

@LProd A figment of your imagination

> Some in Steinbach have recently spoken out against Bill 18, the Manitoba government's anti-bullying bill, because a clause in the proposed legislation requires schools to accommodate students who want to start anti-bullying clubs, including gay-straight alliances.

> Some religious educators and others have argued that the proposed law infringes on their religious freedoms.

@kalina Term? I don't know what it's called in the UK?

So... anti-bullying clubs infringe upon the rights of religious people to bully others...?

Oh no... that's so terrible...

@Wipqozn Ah, yes, because it's better to allow your religion to infringe on other's general freedom

6:31 PM

@SaintWacko Exactly!

If you're not religious, go to hell.

ONLY MY RELIGION MATTERS!

NO ONE ELSES!

Dictionary:

Yarp
Derivative of yup, usually said rather quickly.

Like, do these people not even listen to themselves?

Freedom of religion also includes freedom from religion.

It doesn't mean you can force your religious beliefs down my throat, and force everyone to conform.

@Wipqozn So many people don't seem to get that

@Wipqozn Psh, my religion is obviously best. No one want's a turtle for a god.

Yarp in the Dictionary:
A term used frequently as a lazy response to a conversation, making the speaker sound like an embarrassing caricature of a redneck hillbilly. Used most often by smelly single mothers who think that uttering the word will make the listener believe she is listening, when in fact she is obsessing over how to successfully kidnap her next victim (for her sadistic rituals and to begin building a shrine around him).

6:33 PM

@Wipqozn That's the one.

Lots of local residents have been freaking out about Bill 18.

@LProd wtf?

@LProd Rednecks don't say yarp.

urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=yarp

That area, especially, tend to be a very religious zone, so their tolerance of LGBT is virtually zero.

It's so damned stupid when people flip out over some issue that doesn't even concern them. It would not affect them in the least to allow a gay-straight alliance, and yet they somehow feel that they get a say in it

6:34 PM

And they're protesting that forcing tolerance of these people infringes on the religious right of non-tolerance.

@SaintWacko It's essentially, out of sight, out of mind.

@fbueckert facepalm

Voting on matters should be restricted to those it actually affects

@kalina Yes, I believe you call them terms.

Here's a good read about this issue

@fredley I'm sure you all are. there are just a lot of great proposals that need followers to become website.

Minecraft

Proposed Q&A site for a Q&A for the ever expanding game Minecraft, allowing questions to be directed to Minecraft experts. Advantages are that advanced redstoners would be able to share their knowledge.

Currently in definition.

BoltClock

Ian Carroll? Is he the brother of Evan Carroll?

Fuck EA, I spontaneously get the idea to play some ME3, and Origin is downloading at 350 kB/s. They should be able to pay for some real bandwith

7:17 PM

@BoltClock Or a sockpuppet. Either or.

BoltClock

@MadScientist My Tomb Raider download rate is fluctuating

Origin definitely keeps me waiting more than Steam. But I assume it has a background downloader just like Steam, I just never have Origin open until I run BF3/Dead Space

7:21 PM

I'm getting senile, I just remembered that I have the disc for ME3, I'm so used to buying digitally now that I completely forgot that

@RavenDreamer you must carefully weight your hate of origin with your love of simcity games. only then will you find your true answer.

@MadScientist Wait... did you buy the game digitally as well, or just register it?

monetarily, single player games (even AAA ones) tend to fall in price pretty rapidly after release

@Wipqozn I think ME3 requires Origin or so, else I wouldn't have used it

Origin auto-registers your physical copy so you can download it again, just like Valve games

7:23 PM

so I'm holding off, in the hopes that I can pick it up cheaply sometime next year or so

I'm sooooooooooooooo sleepy >.<

@agent86 Personally, any game going forward that has always online gets automatically boycotted.

Sim City sounds really interesting, but I'll have to draw the line for unnecessary always-online bullshit somewhere, and Sim City is beyond that line

@fbueckert I will enjoy either a) regaling you with tales of the Future Present, or b) savoring your hypocrisy at a later date.

@agent86 But I don't know if I harbor a love for sim city games.

@RavenDreamer then you should get SC4 instead. it's probably on sale.

@agent86 Most likely hypocrisy, knowing me.

I will attempt to hold to that, though.

@agent86 I own Sim City 4. Just not in a state that is playable to me. I have it on CD, and no optical drive to use it with.

@fbueckert that's where my money is.

@LessPop_MoreFizz I forget, can you vote down Area 51 proposals?

7:25 PM

@RavenDreamer yarrrrr, meharties!

or, y'know, rip the discs to a usb key somewhere where optical drives exist

or buy it on steam.

And I tried pirating a digital copy of the physical copy in my posession, and all the text in the game was gone. All of it. The advisors only told me, "String missing".

@RavenDreamer It doesn't matter how many times you state this fact, it always make me chuckle.

STRING MISSING DOES NOT HELP!

HOW I MAKE CITY?!

@powerlord I WISH.

@RavenDreamer With strings?

7:26 PM

@Wipqozn You do know what strings are, in this context?

how are you going to reticulate splines without strings? this is a disaster.

I forget who here knows programming

Can you not flag spam on Area 51? :O

@RavenDreamer Yes, it was a joke.

In fact, I'm programming right now.

Fuck yeah, Python.

it's you that wanted a sexy toaster

I wanted a sexy enclosure

@fbueckert What the hell did he mean by "to a site like that"? o.O

@Michel Essentially, "It's not exclusively about Minecraft! WAAAAAAH!"

@Michel One with other games clearly I don't want to be seeing them,

Which is why I have all other game tags on ignore!

7:35 PM

LOL there is an "aff" explanation in the Urban dictionary

@BenBrocka panties also double as a sexy enclosure. problem solved

Yeah, but no minecraft experts would come to a site like that, it's too general.

@agent86 Do most panties have a SATA -> USB 3.0 interface or am I just looking in the wrong stores?

@BenBrocka there are all kinds of interfaces. I don't bother to count.

@Fluttershy At least he's contributing.

7:36 PM

@fbueckert I just think it's funny. "I'm gonna propose this site for Minecraft, so that fellow experts such as myself don't have to deal with Arqade, where no experts go. Wait a minute, this Minecraft question on Arqade needs editing!"

@Fluttershy To be fair, he never claimed he was a Minecraft expert.

@Fluttershy It is definitely amusing, yes.

@Wipqozn Point for you kind Sir

@agent86 Newegg doesn't let me sort by panties

@Fluttershy At least he doesn't hate cake.

Man, @Fluttershy, that's the best come back to anything..

"Wiqpzon!?!? YOU KILLED THAT MAN!"
"AT LEAST I DON'T HATE CAKE!"

7:39 PM

@BenBrocka clearly you need to 1) buy all the enclosures 2) drape panties over all of them 3) take pictures and submit

@Wipqozn Not really. I find your butthurt over my not liking cake to be rather enjoyable. =P

@Fluttershy You're a monster.

Is correct to say "HTML developer" since HTML is not a language? o.O

@Michel Web Developer is probably better.

How is HTML not a language? O_o It says language right there in its name.

7:40 PM

@fbueckert just picking on him =X

Unless you only know HTML, in which case, you're relegated to beginner basics.

it's a language for laying otu sites.

And almost nobody uses only HTML today, there's pretty much always either some client-side or server-side programming involved

Wow, no wonder I don't see the Close option on Area 51... the only way to gain rep is to follow through on commitments?

@Fluttershy IT's not a programming language, it's a markup language.

7:41 PM

HTML is a markup language, not a programming language

After the initialy 151 that is

However your not a developer in my eyes until your doing something other than laying out static items.

@Wipqozn Ah, but the distinction was never made.

@Fluttershy It was implied.

Jason Berkan

@djsmiley2k *you are .... *you are

7:41 PM

...

@Wipqozn Obviously not.

I never saw HTML dev. Always front-end (html, js, css) or web dev

@JasonBerkan whoops ;)

@Powerlord It's almost impossible unless you post an endless number of questions to proposals, or propose a successful one yourself

Few people are pure HTML these days

7:42 PM

a HTML developer works for W3....

@Fluttershy Well, maybe not to you cake haters it wasn't.

@MadScientist Seems rather mean to put Close at 250, then

Area 51 privileges are just plain broken

@djsmiley2k touche

@MadScientist Closure requires far too much rep

Personally, I think I should be given the power to delete Area 51 proposals on sight

7:43 PM

@djsmiley2k I think expanding the HTML spec is not a common definition of HTML developer.

@BenBrocka meh, statement of truth.

@Wipqozn I just want the ability to close them on sight.

@fbueckert logical definition and definition by usage are often different.

@RonanForman Try this one

@fbueckert True. That way we can rub it in their faces that we closed their stupid proposal. .

7:44 PM

@Wipqozn I don't think there are many A51 proposals on this site anyway.

I'm a double mod with 85k network-wide rep, I've fulfilled my commitment to 4 proposals, and I can't do shit on Area 51.

The Muppets are a group of puppet characters created by Jim Henson and now owned by The Walt Disney Company. The characters became a household name after their appearance in the children's television program Sesame Street.

The first Muppet characters appeared as early as 1955, in Sam and Friends, a Washington, D.C.-based show that was on the air for six years. Kermit the Frog was one of the show's r...

Heyo. @GraceNote tells me that someone is asking about frame data for SF4?

Grace Note

12 mins ago, by ayckoster

hi does anybody knows how jump in frame data in street fighter 4 works?

And two below it.

jeah

yeah

i konw what frame data is etc. but what is the jump in frame data of a character?

@ayckoster You mean of the actual attack, or do you mean things like trip guard and the like?

8:40 PM

for example i execute jumping.hk on juri followed by a close.standing.hk

does she has enough time to grab me?

Wat.

or is this a true frame trap?

oh i am ryu by the way :)

@ayckoster Yes, I figured.

So here's the problem, no one has recorded the frame data (although I don't see why, as it's possible to measure)

However, hitstun and blockstun of air attacks aren't really reliable numbers.

Because depending on how high you hit them, your recovery is affected.

8:42 PM

@casperOne: hmm good to know

So Juri is a small character, but let's say you're up against Geif

You can perform a j.HK much earlier than you could on Juri

Thing is, if you do that too high, he'll usually SPD you when you come down.

i am asking because in my training mode i cannot grab the dummy ryu 90% of the time. 1 out of 10 times it "works out" and i grab him out of his cl.st.hk

good point

@ayckoster It completely depends on how high he's kicking. Also, why are you trying to use cl.HK? You want to cancel the first hit?

There's eight frames of startup on that, and it's low damage compared to cl.HP, which is five frames startup.

no i just want to counter my friends annoying block and tech crouching

i can use srk but it is not safe and i have to invest 2 bars to make it safe

@ayckoster yeah, that's a waste of energy. Why are you confronting Juri in close quarters? You should be zoning her out with fireballs most of the time.

8:46 PM

i want to be able to apply pressure on knock down

for example i get a sweep and i get a safejump

One moment, please

she cannot do anything against my jump in, as she does not have a 3frame reversal.
