@AviD the rorymocking and the simonworship?

AviD

"haha you're old"
"plleeeeze share with us your donuts!"

Rоry McCune

@kalina so you're into @Simon worship... well to each their own I guess

kalina

no

I'm obviously being driven crazy by the continuous background noise

Rory Alsop

@kalina too much hip hop, eh? :-)

or just loud children?

kalina

no apparently calling out kayne at the grammys was a bad idea

</swift>

Rory Alsop

11:15

lol - must go and google to see what happened

Rоry McCune

@kalina yeah instead she should've offered him a loan, by the sounds of things

kalina

a semi subtle not really "people will try to claim responsibility for your fame"

CodesInChaos

@ThomasPornin I don't follow the negations in the first sentence.

kalina

@CodesInChaos that's your least favorite thing about his answer?

mine is the lack of full paragraph justification making it look like he pressed enter at the end of each line

I will have to re-read it once it has been upvoted more, so that it has the hot questions side bar next to it to correctly frame the answer

CodesInChaos

@kalina I only read the quote in chat, not the answer, yet.

Rory Alsop

11:18

@kalina ah hah hah hah - oh, she is wonderful

Rоry McCune

@kalina what a casual

kalina

@RоryMcCune hey, no judging, the most intelligent of people are normally the ones that people identify as weird

Rory Alsop

@kalina I'm not that intelligent

...

:-)

kalina

obv I was talking about myself

...

:-)

Rоry McCune

...

:o)

kalina

11:20

...

=)

Rory Alsop

@kalina sure. Oh, by the way, where will you put that Grammy? Beside the other one?

kalina

nah I've just started kinda storing them in boxes now

I'm passed the "winning awards" stage

it's almost an assumption now

Rory Alsop

wrong tab...again

AviD

@CodesInChaos he was responding to the OP who claimed that any bitflipping would be caught by the protocol.

kalina

new album > will be best seller > will win awards > tour > will be best seller > will win awards > repeat

Rоry McCune

11:21

@RoryAlsop arguing about who the talent was in Oasis again?

kalina

everybody knows Oasis had no talent

Rory Alsop

@RоryMcCune best assumption ever - there is no winner

@kalina oh - you inb4'ed me

kalina

because maybe you're gonna be the one that inb4's meh

2

Rоry McCune

pair of blur fans, eh

kalina

and afterall, I won the star wall

Rory Alsop

11:22

currently I have 22 tabs open on my left screen. Then 18 tabs in a work VM on my right screen. And 3 of them have conversations with a Liam

Rоry McCune

@kalina OMG best/worse pun of the month

I'd pin it but I'm not sure it makes sense without context

kalina

someday you will find me, caught beneath the landslide, of a cocaine supernova in dubai

Rory Alsop

@kalina hmmm - Dubai. Bit too hot. And anti-women. And anti-fun

kalina

perfect place to die of a drug overdose as a result of consuming all of your goods just before being searched

anyway enough of the reciting ancient music from the dark ages

when people could mask their musical abilities by adding distortion and... oh

disables ohmicide

TildalWave

ohmicide :)

Rory Alsop

11:27

@kalina I thought that was an indication that the distortion had had some rather sudden and incredibly positive impact

@TildalWave Resistors are futile

CodesInChaos

@kalina resistance is deadly

Rory Alsop

@CodesInChaos lol

TildalWave

@RoryAlsop you're in treble now

kalina

For reference re: Ohmicide... "The best distortion plugin on earth"

Rory Alsop

@kalina "The best sound killer ever..."

never heard of it

I use valves

kalina

11:29

you've never heard of ohmicide?

Rory Alsop

and a valve simulator sometimes

kalina

ohmicide is like vandalism for audio

Rory Alsop

@kalina nope - does it come in a box I can stomp on?

if not then I wouldn't see it

kalina

why would you want to stomp on it?

Rory Alsop

@kalina to turn it on

kalina

11:29

you'd turn it off?

Rory Alsop

and off again

(I am in IT)

kalina

YOU'D TURN IT OFF?!

Rory Alsop

so it's ok, is it?

kalina

My moog minitaur doesn't even have a power button

I have to unplug it if I want to reach this "off" state

Rоry McCune

@kalina does it live in a labyrinth?

Rory Alsop

11:30

@kalina I do live. For studio recording - I do it live

kalina

no it lives on my desk, flashing away 24/7

with the LFOs finely tuned so it flashes once per second

else my OCD would be like WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWHAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTT

Rory Alsop

oh - only 99 euros

Rоry McCune

@kalina LFO.... "Little Flashing Object"?

kalina

...

Laughably Funny Oldpeople

Rоry McCune

@kalina pls I bet ya some of the #Embryos on here don't know what that is without googling it

Rory Alsop

11:32

I could only come up with offensive meanings for that acronym. Funny but offensive. Sorry

kalina

@DavidFreitag apparently you won't know what an LFO is

Rory Alsop

so - quick query, as I can't seem to find any demos of it being played. @kalina - worth getting ohmicide - as a guitarist

??

kalina

@RoryAlsop as a guitarist? I don't nothing about recording guitars

once the sound is in the box though, ohmicide all the things

Rory Alsop

@kalina well - then everything is in Cubase, so VST's are useful for me

ok - will purchase

kalina

many different types of distortion applied to multiple bands separated in the plugin and lots of buttons and sliders and virtual knobs

Rory Alsop

11:34

too damn trusting...

kalina

pls $99 is a bargain

it cost me more than that

Rory Alsop

well - exactly

kalina

and I do have some ridiculously expensive software as a result of my purchasing

like native instruments komplete 10

Rоry McCune

@RoryAlsop that's steam sale logic ya know...

and part of the reason I have like 20 unplayed games in steam

kalina

komplete 10 = €999

and then the keyboard to go with it is another €599

and then mashine...

but so many flashing lights

CodesInChaos

11:36

@RоryMcCune Only 20?

kalina

and buttons

and knobs

@CodesInChaos I know, he's so lucky

Rоry McCune

@CodesInChaos yeah I'm a casual

kalina

I think I have more than 20 unplayed games in my library that I couldn't even name

or am completely unaware I have them

it's always a pleasant surprise to get to the checkout when buying a game to realize I already own it

CodesInChaos

While I don't use stream myself (don't like DRM), my gog account has much more than 20 unplayed games.

kalina

steam is barely DRM while simultaneously being DRM

steam doesn't feel remotely intrusive

CodesInChaos

11:38

One account to rule them all.

kalina

the problem is

everybody tried the one account to rule them all

and now we have 400 accoutns each

well I suppose some people in the world log into everything with Facebook

I'M SO BORED

Rоry McCune

@CodesInChaos yeah I have a fair number in GoG too

kalina

I have one game on GoG

because I got it free with the last graphics card I bought

Rоry McCune

@kalina go out and have a wander round the mean streets of Nottingham then

kalina

@RоryMcCune lol not a chance in hell

Rоry McCune

11:45

can't blame you I wouldn't either,

kalina

only genuine victims would walk around Nottingham by themselves

Rоry McCune

I dodged a bullet last year, almost ended up on a long-term job on-site in Notthingham!

kalina

it's nice being around a group of friends and having all the face to face communication and what not

but I hate the area, I hate face to face communication because there is no off button and I hate being this cold

fortunately, it's a group of friends that accepts "fuck off I want to be alone"

but the children don't

Rоry McCune

it is a touch parky at the moment...

kalina

and I didn't realize how slow my morning routine had got

it takes me far longer to actually wake up than I'm being given to actually wake up

I like wandering around in silence for a bit without doors slamming and screaming and crying and TV and cartoons and no that's my game no give it back no stop taking my toys MOM HE TOOK MY TOY I WANT THAT CEREAL SHE STOLE ALL THE MILK MOM

Rоry McCune

11:49

@kalina sounds like you're "enjoying" the kids experience

kalina

seriously so close to taking hostages

alright kids, time for a game, we're calling it the silence or else your toys die game

you shall be silent, for each noise you make one of your toys will be set on fire

oh

explaining my plan to my friend resulted in the most genuinely shocked and horrified face I've ever seen her pull

CodesInChaos

@kalina Parenthood impacts rational thinking :)

kalina

apparently fire based punishments are not allowed and I just got told off

and then subsequently laughed at by a pair of kids

/sigh

CodesInChaos

You didn't even recommend the nuclear option.

Rоry McCune

^This picture just got flagged in another room...

doesn't seem that offensive to me

CodesInChaos

12:02

Without the punchline it probably would have been offensive.

Rоry McCune

oh sure without the punchline it wouldn't be good, but then it also wouldn't be a joke it would just be making fun of alternate lifestyle choices

Rory Alsop

Hadn't seen this awkward AMA:

reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/45m1hl/i_am_3x_grammy_awardwinning

Rоry McCune

@RoryAlsop you do wonder what his PR people thought was going to happen...

Rory Alsop

@RоryMcCune exactly! Although it appears to have worked for McAfee despite the trainwreck it kinda was

Rоry McCune

@RoryAlsop yeah, I guess McAfee is an acknowledged mad guy, so it just reinforced the notion where Wyclef seems not to want to acknowledge his actions

I think that's why Trump can get away with saying what he does

when he gets pulled up, he just says "yep that's what I said"

Simon

12:21

@ThomasPornin What were you doing up so early you crazy animal?

kalina

@RоryMcCune some people are anti pony

@Simon who're you calling an animal?

Journeyman Geek

I love ponies. You can make great glue with em....

kalina

@JourneymanGeek :O

Journeyman Geek

@RоryMcCune ooh, someone brought up Sun Ho/CIty Harvest

kalina

from: Steam Support subject: An item on your wishlist is on sale!

Arperum

12:27

@RоryMcCune It's been there all day...

kalina

.oO( nooooooo not more sales noooooo )

clicks email

oh... 75% off

buys anyway

DAMN YOU STEAM

DAMN YOU TO HELL

"so what do you have to show for your brief time as a celebrity?"

"oh I have a Steam library worth 100s of thousands"

"a what?"

"exactly :("

Journeyman Geek

@kalina living the dream

kalina

"it says here you own a game called Goat Simulator, care to explain?"

Rory Alsop

I had to spend half an hour this morning diagnosing an odd problem Hamish was having where he couldn't get authorised on his PC for some of the games on my Steam account. Family sharing has some bits of buggy functionality

@kalina lol

Journeyman Geek

Beyonce may have the greatest album of all time, but you have a better steam collection

kalina

12:29

@RoryAlsop there are some games that just won't work

for example, most Ubisoft titles

and GTA 5

probably 4 as well

although actually 4 might work now because gfwl is no longer a thing

Simon

Ponies suck.

kalina

you hate me

fine don't even deny it

I can take your rejections

runs off to cry

Simon

ok bye

kalina

sets fire to @Simon

AviD

@Simon so do sheep.

you're a sick man, @Simon.

kalina

12:34

"Durex Banned Chocolate Condom Sheep Commercial"

DID NOT CLICK.

I wonder if they actually taste like chocolate

Simon

Yeah soz for not clicking that.

Rory Alsop

@kalina cheap nasty chocolate - not good chocolate. Oh wait...

kalina

@Simon we can't understand you, all we can hear is "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH I'M ON FIRE IT BURNS IT BURNS!!!"

AviD

@Simon its actually not so NSFW.

and its okay, he's Welsh.

Simon

I don't watch videos at work unless I'm on my lunch time.

kalina

12:36

look at you being the goody two shoes

oh I'm sorry, when I'm at work I do not partake in watching videos, instead I sit in a chat room talking shit all day

Simon

You're salty today.

kalina

salty?

as in, taste of salt?

how would you know?

Rory Alsop

lick...

kalina

you think I'd know if @Simon had licked me

unless it was so little of an impact that it went unnoticed

AviD

HEY WE NEED A MODERATOR IN HERE! STAT!

Rory Alsop

12:38

there'd be a screaming - "OH my tongue is on fire!"

kalina

speaking of licking

Simon

There's like 5-10 cm of snow outside and there will be freezing rain later in the afternoon.

It will be pure chaos on the roads.

kalina

is that rain that turns people into frozen people?

mmm pure chaos, my favorite drug

Simon

No, that's the icy rain.

kalina

I have no snarky comment to make, continue

AviD

12:41

starred for posterity

Simon

There's like one day in a month where I wanna come here, relax and not say stupid shit.

Today is that day.

AviD

how's that going for you?

kalina

You're salty today.

Ponies suck.

INTERESTING.

Simon

How is that being salty?

I always say that ponies suck.

kalina

you said you were not saying any stupid shit today

well there are two instances where you failed already

I have no more go available

my reserves of go have gone

I'm going to have to just collapse where I am right now and recharge

CodesInChaos

12:55

Play more go!

Go (game)

Go (traditional Chinese: 圍棋; simplified Chinese: 围棋; pinyin: wéiqí; Japanese: 囲碁; rōmaji: igo; Korean: 바둑; romaja: baduk; literally: "encircling game") is an abstract board game for two players, in which the aim is to surround more territory than the opponent. The game originated in ancient China more than 2,500 years ago, and is one of the oldest board games played today. It was considered one of the four essential arts of a cultured Chinese scholar in antiquity. The earliest written reference to the game is generally recognized as the historical annal Zuo Zhuan (c. 4th century BC). There is...

Simon

It looks like a game that nurdz would play.

Sounds perfect for her.

CodesInChaos

@Simon Working on that 'stupid shit' counter?
