@BenBrocka 1) iTunes Match is 25, not 50. 2) iTunes Match offers a few other features besides device to device streaming. For just that, there's a bunch of solutions on iOS.

kalina

9:11 PM

@badp I don't have "amazing" cell signal around here

anything streaming based sounds like interrupted music

I live in a field, remember?

badp

Once you've uploaded stuff to the "cloud" you can pin them to download them back

FEichinger

@badp Nope. Speaking of beverages, the catering was great. :P

badp

...or you could just transfer things the good ole fashioned way

Ben Brocka

@LessPop_MoreFizz it's not device to device, it's cloud to device

The price isn't really significant, I just like that Google offers it for free. I still use Match since it's easier to manage my stuff in iTunes (sadly)

LessPop_MoreFizz

@BenBrocka yeah, either way. Match has some other features that make it desirable.

Also, personally, I wouldn't trust my music that I paid for to a service that I didn't pay for. But that's me.

Ben Brocka

9:13 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz Trust doesn't factor in, I keep local copies of everything at home, and two backups

kalina

this also doesn't have a built in volume limiter option

that means I will be deaf by the time I'm 25

Ben Brocka

@kalina you mean something like AVLS? Not sure phones usually have that

FEichinger

Are you fucking kidding me, Valve?

Ben Brocka

Guess I've never checked, AVLS is nice in theory but totally destroys the quality of lots of stuff

kalina

doesn't have to be super technical on my ipod I just set it so the volume couldn't increase above 50%

Ben Brocka

9:15 PM

@FEichinger YOU WILL GIVE YOUR FRIENDS DOTA2 RIGHT NOW YOUNG MAN

FEichinger

@BenBrocka I'm fairly certain I don't even have 7 active friends without Dota 2.

Ben Brocka

I'm surprised they haven't just "gifted" DOTA2 to everyone on steam directly

It'd be far more efficient and less annoying

FEichinger

Now where'd be the fun in that?

Q: survival mode people join and take everything

I have Minecraft on Itouch in Survival mode - people join my world and take all my diamonds - gold - iron - how can I stop them

minecraft

Ben Brocka

The whole "viral" thing is just silly in this case, since it's ridiculously easy to get a copy if you actually want one (or don't)

FEichinger

9:18 PM

I mean, we wouldn't have a bot with ALL DEM DOTAS! without this.

kalina

FEichinger

@kalina Yeh, that's what mine would look like, had I not given away all my others to the Dota 2 Dispenser.

badp

@LessPop_MoreFizz because Apple won't kill paid for products, like for example me.com

kalina

@FEichinger this is after me dumping like 15 copies on the dota2 dispenser

FEichinger

@kalina sigh

kalina

9:20 PM

AND gifting a copy to everybody on my friends list last christmas

Ben Brocka

I foresee a grim post-nuclear future where people trade DOTA2 invites as a form of currency

kalina

I literally have nothing new to do with them

badp

@BenBrocka Luckily I have plenty of metal to convert into DOTA 2 invites.

FEichinger

@BenBrocka Look at the friggin Steam Market.

Ben Brocka

"Gimme 5 DOTA2s for a quarter", we'd say...

And I had a Headcrab on my belt, which was the style at the time

kalina

9:22 PM

I might just create a bunch of steam accounts and get a super high world #1 rating in dota 2

maybe then Valve will realise the errors of their ways

and don't get me started on my team fortress 2 items

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp They didn't, they just changed the name for 99% of mobileme features. Also, they gave like a years notice, and most importantly, I'm not even talking purely about 'trust not to lose my data', so much as I'm talking about 'trust not to misuse my data', a category on which google does not score well.

kalina

a game I've never played

full of items from preorders

WILL TRADE DOTA2 AND TF2 ITEMS FOR REP

...

badp

@LessPop_MoreFizz Okay. Not sure what kind of mischief they can do, though. As a person that hides very little from Google, most people grossly overestimate its power of targeted advertisement.

Ben Brocka

I just need a DOTA2 vouchers -> lollipops converter

kalina

@BenBrocka You have 81716600505 lollipops!

badp

9:25 PM

@kalina sell them on the Steam market for actual £

kalina

@badp who really would actually buy DOTA2?

Ben Brocka

@badp They have pretty decent CTR so I don't really mind their apparent targeted advertising

FEichinger

@badp I just tend to give Google ALL MAH DATA and then open some random porn sites for the sake of it.

Ben Brocka

@kalina I think they're going for about one kopeck or some other funny sounding currency

FEichinger

@kalina A lot of people did, apparently.

badp

9:26 PM

Google believes I browse the web in two languages, English and Spanish

My interests include: classic films, apparel, dance, film & tv production, offbeat, reggaeton, toyota

kalina

@GraceNote thanks for your assistance with my music library

LessPop_MoreFizz

@kalina CDDB used to be so important and useful.

Ben Brocka

well fuck I guess I don't speak English

badp

@BenBrocka Yeah, they got that much right for me

"Male" based on websites you visit
"18-24" based on your Google Profile

wow, that's kind of sophisticated guessing

Ben Brocka

Huh I have no idea why it thinks my interests include "toyota"

badp

9:29 PM

@BenBrocka "From your previous searches"

Ben Brocka

Especially with a few dozen searches around "Mercedes" in the last year

badp

@BenBrocka Same here!

Ben Brocka

> Make-Up & Cosmetics

Seems legit

At least you can edit these

badp

@BenBrocka I wanted to avoid mentioning "Women's clothing" is also on my list but...

Ben Brocka

Fiat was on there too, no Mercedes or Honda (the only brands I've ever owned)

badp

9:31 PM

"Hygiene & Toiletries" is there too though.

I guess that's from maybe one video I watched about toilets in India? and my Netherlands misadventure, too.

Ben Brocka

"adventure games" is the only gaming related one, SEO is the only remotely programming/web design related one

badp

On the other hand, visit the wrong webpage once

and you get ads for it for the next two weeks all over the goddamn place

like it happened for the Dutch New York Pizza website, or often Amazon

Wipqozn

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp Amazon is the worst.

badp

It's like Google finds a piece of data it can make sense of and it goes all "OH MY GOD DATA! DATA! DATADATADATADATADATADATADATA! IMMA USE THIS DATA! WOO!"

FEichinger

9:34 PM

Amazon seems really bad at targeted advertising.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Click a random link, and for weeks you will be recommended the worst products.

badp

@Wipqozn goddamn world height limits

Ben Brocka

I wonder if it'd grab better data if I had adblock off actually, that might be pretty significant come to think of it

Wipqozn

@badp I chuckled. Good job.

Mount Roraima

Mount Roraima ( , also known as Tepuy Roraima and Cerro Roraima; ) is the highest of the Pakaraima chain of tepui plateau in South America. First described by the English explorer Sir Walter Raleigh in 1596, its summit area is defended by 400-metre-tall cliffs on all sides. The mountain includes the triple border point of Venezuela, Brazil and Guyana. Mount Roraima lies on the Guiana Shield in the southeastern corner of Venezuela's Canaima National Park forming the highest peak of Guyana's Highland Range. The tabletop mountains of the park are considered some of the oldest geological ...

Ben Brocka

Still, based on searches it should really be better

badp

9:35 PM

@BenBrocka I don't have adblock, although I do block Flash

LessPop_MoreFizz

For instance, Amazon is currently trying to sell me: Projectors, Jock Straps, Toothpaste, and Sunglasses.

Ben Brocka

It should have stuff like "firearms" and "anime girls" and "explosives"

badp

@LessPop_MoreFizz At least it's not trying to sell you nipple covers.

Ben Brocka

@badp I don't think it uses flash

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp It would if I pulled up the page for one.

kalina

9:36 PM

I block all plugins

badp

@LessPop_MoreFizz I'll make sure I'll drop a link sometime next month.

FEichinger

I'm drowning in Firefly recommndations from Amazon.

kalina

no idea how I set it up

FEichinger

Is that a good sign or a bad sign?

kalina

but all plugins, they're blocked

Firefly is awesome

Ben Brocka

9:36 PM

@badp I've googled "pasties" at least once (don't asl) and it's not in my interests sections

kalina

go watch it

FEichinger

@kalina Do you seriously believe I didn't?

I'm a tortoise.

@BenBrocka No.

@FEichinger yes

9:37 PM

@kalina Well, you're dead wrong.

Wipqozn

I haven't watched it. Firefly is terrible.

kalina

@Wipqozn wow

Ben Brocka

@FEichinger Amazon just takes the last thing I bought and offers me 50 more

kalina

@Wipqozn so are turtles

FEichinger

@Wipqozn You are dead to me, Sir. DEAD, I say!

Wipqozn

9:37 PM

@FEichinger Good.

FEichinger

@BenBrocka Which is why it's trying to sell me MOAR FIREFLY ... I (finally) stocked up on my physical media recently. :P

Ben Brocka

Clearly since I bought one audio cable I really meant to buy several hundred of them and make an audio jungle in my basement

I don't know why, but this is a thing that exists.

@FEichinger Don't worry, @Wipqozn also hates freedom and cake.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot That's @Fluttershy.

Ben Brocka

@badp I hadn't even thought of it since My Pictures is a noun itself

kalina

@OrigamiRobot he's Canadian, not American... Canadian's love freedom

OrigamiRobot

@kalina Not @Wipqozn.

badp

@BenBrocka That's what Eartbound tries to do too, but it really doesn't work.

It was less stupid in Earthbound than it is in Windows

badp

"This is your My Sanctuary location, but it now is mine."

maybe they added numerals to actually make it a little less awful?

Q: Older Highscore Boards

i just have a little question and i hope some of you know. Does Anyone of you know, why the HighscoreBoards of older (and a few newer games, too) just allow three symbols as initials/name on the highscore board? Does it have technical-reason or is it just kinda random? Thanx in advance Ekonion
