8:00 PM
buy with it
 
You sell items to get credits, you spend them to get items.
Oh. Click "all items" and find something you want to buy, or search for it, I guess.
 
Maybe I could finally get a strange.
 
I'll try and swap dupes for the short circuit, then.
Just one should do actually, given the free credits.
 
Everything's a bit broken right now according to the people in IRC, but I guess it's in beta (thus the 500 credit signup bonus?)
If I were sitting at a computer with Steam installed I'd have tried it already. :(
 
I'm trying it now.
Still in the queue.
 
8:04 PM
it used to give me a queue position, now it's gone.
 
yup, I'd get dropped
[22:14] <triddin> ok
[22:14] <triddin> I can't stay awake any longer
[22:14] <prophecy> :(
[22:14] <ESF-Rys4k> Triddin: Be well, thanks for all the efforts
[22:14] <bp> +1
[22:14] <triddin> and the trading is not working proper
[22:15] <Jojo_> sleep well dude
[22:15] <triddin> so i'm gonna have to shut it dow
 
8:19 PM
@badp Did you ever ask anyone in here if they had an extra short circuit?
 
Hey guys! shameless plug
The start of the @trottimus arc in the latest @hat_films comic: http://nanor-131.deviantart.com/art/Over-Yonder-263228168 and watch me draw it too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nu_PZClc370
 
@Powerlord Nope.
 
@badp I didn't think so, since I have one sitting in my very first inventory slot.
 
Nevermind you're at work
 
Oh, look at that, it worked.
I have 1,400 credits now.
 
8:21 PM
@ArdaXi SQL Injection?
 
Ssh!
 
TBH I wasn't actively looking for a short circuit, as I'm slowly improving with the shotgun
 
and, well, without a sentry and the shotgun, I'm worse than a demoknight.
 
wtf, Valve is changing the format of the status command now?
Great, HLStatsX is going to break.
 
8:23 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz 47%
 
@badp Yes.
 
@Powerlord oh noes?
@LessPop_MoreFizz 47% of what?
 
@badp of Americans that don't pay federal income taxes.
Of course, what the individuals that like to cite that statistic ignore is that it includes people who don't earn and have no money, children, students, the incredibly poor, and other such individuals, in addition to scummy welfare fraud tax cheats with 14 children, as they would like to have you believe.
 
@badp You know what I have to say to that? 9, 9, 9.
Although, the 999 guy (not to be confused with the game) has a point: Why don't we have a federal sales tax?
 
@Powerlord No, 999 didn't actually ring any bell.
 
8:26 PM
@Powerlord Because it would be unconstitutional.
 
@badp It's a reference to a US guy. Republican running for President. Name of Herman Cain.
 
doesn't even have state sales tax
 
Ringing still below 20 decibel.
 
@Powerlord Best part about 9,9,9 is being able to make Hitler jokes about Herman Cain.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Which section?
 
I guess I just don't care
 
@Powerlord Just saw that last night, actually
 
Herman Cain apparently doesn't understand the concept of a Progressive tax, though.
 
@Powerlord Article I, Section 9.
 
You don't have ... VAT?
 
8:29 PM
> No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State.
Ah, OK
 
uh... "exported from"?
 
@Powerlord Technically, the Federal government has the power to lay taxes in only three ways:
 
You import from and export to. You can't export from.
 
1) Census derived - i.e. a poll tax which is in direct proportion to population.
@badp Sure you can. I can export from NY to a variety of places. In one of those places, I'd be importing from NY.
Import/Export is a question of origin relative to current position, not direction.
 
eh.
 
8:31 PM
> No Capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid, unless in Proportion to the Census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken.
The other part I didn't quote earlier [which 1) refers to above]
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz oh... no 10 hour version of that
 
@Powerlord Yup, later modified by the 16th amendment to allow for taxes based upon income.
 
was going to link @GnomeSlice to it
 
@Wipqozn ?
 
I suppose this 10 minute video will do @GnomeSlice
 
8:32 PM
And the third is border taxes on Import/Export from outside the country.
 
Ugh, Valve, I was home on time yesterday, the day you were supposed to do that patch.
Today, I'll be home late, and I just know you're going to patch it while I'm out.
 
@GnomeSlice Here's a better version.
 
Will this 4 minute video do?
 
I can update my old servers fine from here, but not my new server.
 
@Powerlord So?
 
8:33 PM
@GnomeSlice Players can't connect to outdated servers.
 
@Wipqozn Please star this man 2^32-1 times so that it turns out he has '-1' stars.
 
@Powerlord Oh. I see.
 
Not only that, I have a new version of my extension to test, and I can't test it if my client and server are out of sync... and clients update automatically.
I had to add those stupid player objects back in. >:|
 
@Powerlord Disable your connectivity.
 
So, I'm essentially using my player objects to schlep what are otherwise static references around.
 
8:35 PM
@badp something tells me they would use unsigned int for the stars
 
@RonanForman I'm surprised you use a lossy action such as resizing so much
 
@Wipqozn or an unsigned long.
Sorry, I forgot, in C/C++, I mean a uint64
 
@badp Huh? Zooming in?
 
@RonanForman and out.
 
How else do I see things?
 
8:37 PM
uh... I don't mean zooming the view
 
So... does anybody want a non-steam copy of Frozen Synapse?
 
I mean when you lasso things and then scale them.
 
@GnomeSlice I'll take a copy!
oh... wait. Already own it. Never mind.
 
@Wipqozn No.
 
@badp I draw at like 4 times the resolution that I upload, so it makes little difference.
And I wouldn't if I didn't need to...
 
8:42 PM
OMG OMG OMG TF2 BLOG PO---
"Highlander Mix-up Match Replays"
:|
 
How dare they post blog posts on the blog! For shame.
 
"Surprise Manniversary Update and Sale"
more relevant to my interests
 
HATS.
 
GLOVES.
 
High five taunts.
 
8:46 PM
SHOES.
 
 
So, they just posted it? Guess what, I'm on my way out the door to an offsite meeting that lasts 2 hours.
 
Still no update for TF2 deployed though
just this multipage comic
this being the major announcement
the other major announcement is the workshop
 
Neat, every 6 days you can try an item from the store for free, and buy it for 25% off.
 
@badp They just added high fives?
 
8:49 PM
@GraceNote Yes, a la Portal 2 I imagine. Except not automatic.
 
Crazy
 
@Grace No, invented high fives.
 
Point taken
 
Oh. Also, decals.
 
It is, after all, Saxton Hale
 
8:50 PM
"Apply any user generated decal to certain items!"
Also newly official map - Gullywash.
They've buried things so tight it's hard to realize this is a pretty large update.
Oh, and finally time control added to replays too.
 
@GnomeSlice Here, have a good song.
Wait until it really kicks in.
 
 
If nobody wants this copy of Frozen Synapse, I'll give it to someone else.
 
OOH ME
ME
 
> ...choked the damned life out of him, and that's why ITALY doesn't have a PRESIDENT anymore.
please be real saxton hale. please be real
 
8:54 PM
@Mana Don't you have it?
 
@GnomeSlice ...yes. :(
 
So then why...
 
Just Cause.
 
The... the schlong song?
Showed her extreme road trip
gas pedal didnt work
Girlfriend sat beside me
"Slow down you fucking jerk!"

But i soon ignored her
ridin' with my car
Didnt stop oh no dear sir
I took it way too far... cause then I

flew it off a great big cliff
and I made her scream
Now she knew the power of
the game in my machine

After the explosion
I wanted another shot
(ah-ha...) but the
girl who was beside me
she had become to hot... she...

had to get her hands on, and
drive it all night long ... now I
wish that I was singing bout
 
schlong?
 
8:57 PM
Um.
 
wh
 
Why was this in the Extreme Roadtrip OST XD.
 
what am I reading?
 
> This song is added PURELY for fun! The song has numerous errors and I know it - but if I put a smile on your face then my goal was accomplished!
Lol what the hell? This is hilarious.
 
@Powerlord here's the update notes for your convenience.
Updates to Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Day of Defeat: Source and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:

Source Engine Changes (CS:S, DoD:S, TF2, HL2:DM)
- Fixed an issue with the multi-threaded renderer which could cause a crash on map change
- Adjusted whitespace to improve formatting in status command output
- Changed stats output to show KB/s instead of bytes/sec, added a connections column, and changed the users column to "Map changes"
oh god yes. FINALLY
> Gorge/5Gorge: added team-specific func_nobuild brushes in elevated forward spawn areas
568 MB update.
Also no weapon changes.
 
9:03 PM
@Mana You?
 
You know what's cool? NOT TF2. BLAMO.

flags
 
counters flag with a star
 
stars flag
 
adds context
well, lab time. Peace.
 
9:05 PM
unstars
 
huh, my stars are broken
click to make star gold and decrement star counter...
 
Had you already starred it, but the star just appeared black? (there's a bit of a bug where that happens)
 
> Fixed particle effects not showing up on spy disguise items
veeeery nice.
They still left the F-bug open though. Oh well.
Also 1.9pre4 is out.
 
Yeah whats actually in it?
 
NOWHERE AS MANY THINGS AS TF2
Moon phases are cool though.
 
9:11 PM
But why are they round?!?
 
They fixed the sun, which now rises from East.
 
@RonanForman Look outside.
 
Much better strongholds are in too.
The ones Jeb demoed are awesome.
 
Do I need to make a new map again!!
 
Also new, 444 new strings on STS
 
> TF_NoiseMaker_Vuvuzela
oh god
 
Pfft
 
So items from the store can now be traded/used to craft?
How is that going to affect the economy?
And how can I take advantage of it?
 
I'll find out once the Steam servers get some breathing room to actually serve the update to me
Been put on hold for 30 minutes now
 
@ArdaXi It's dark, I can't see anything.
 
9:33 PM
@RonanForman You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
 
What if I have a candle?

Q: What does scrap banking mean?

stevetherI hear it all the time. They're looking for scrap? Crafting scrap? Trading scrap?

 
@RonanForman It's been long since I played Zork, I wouldn't know.
 
Let's see if I'm in the store beta...
"The store's closed."
Uh.

Q: Desura fails to run: Error loading library libcef_desura.so

Mr AxilusI've been using desura for a few weeks now on 11.04 without any problems, however when I upgraded to 11.10 today and reinstalled desura I get this error message: include/SharedObjectLoader.h:75 - Error loading library libcef_desura.so: 'libplc4.so.0d: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32' I'm running...

 
Wow. Rare crates?
TF2 is upping the ante.
(Don't I sound cool using expressions I don't know.)
 
srly...
 
@badp You don't know what 'upping the ante' means?
 
Increase the bid?
 
Not really.
Technically, it means increasing the minimal bid of the table.
 
9:55 PM
In his defense
 
10:33 PM
the drawback for the item presets and the double misc item is you can't seem to use the same misc item in two different presets
 
That's good.
Steam is fucking garbage.
 
You are fucking garbage.
 
Why?
 
Reply macro.
 
Yeah, I'm not very fluent in smart. Can you explain that again?
 
10:46 PM
"X is Y." "You are Y."
 
Your face is Y

@RavenDreamer Enjoy your free hat at least.
I really hope it isn't random
because I got a pretty crappy one.
 
Free hat?
I'm guessing some TF2 update
 
11:10 PM
> A couple days ago we mentioned a "major project" we were working on that we promised to keep you updated on in the weeks and months ahead. Well, here's an update: It's done! Suck it, Valve Time.
I'm assuming they finished it before announcing it

Q: What do I need to know to enjoy watching competitive StarCraft II matches?

BrantI'm hoping to convince some geek friends to attend a BarCraft event with me this weekend. The problem is, none of them have played StarCraft II before, and certainly haven't watched live professional games before. StarCraft II is a complicated game and obviously it's not possible to convey a dee...
