@murgatroid99 I agree, this is probably true.

murgatroid99

@GnomeSlice I think it's OK as long as they are good questions about the game

@Sterno This is what I thought too

The questions originally looked bad, but now that I played the game, I realized that I had the same questions and I probably couldn't have worded them better

GnomeSlice

Why do I like Erotic Art so much. :/

Oh, har dee har har, I don't like it for the reasons you chaps are probably thinking.

Sterno

Maybe we don't think you like it for the reasons you think we think you like it!

GnomeSlice

I'm not talking about 'porn', I'm talking about 'Erotic Art'.

For instance, this. NSFW but very good.

Sterno

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue isn't porn either, but for some reason guys seem to like looking at it.

GnomeSlice

@Sterno ...Yeah, that's not the correct reason.

Then again, The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue isn't exactly "art" either...

@WipqoznPugsley None of these depict any kind of sexual relations, and while I do have some art in my favourites which DOES, that doesn't make it any less art. I think you'll find that I'm really not talking about straight up 'pornography'.

Wipqozn Pugsley

@GnomeSlice Technically I think it is

> Pornography or porn is the explicit portrayal of sexual subject matter or erotica.

GnomeSlice

@WipqoznPugsley Is This just illustrated porn? No, it is not.

@WipqoznPugsley 'straight up pornography'.

i.e. imagery whose sole purpose is to give you a hard-on.

Wipqozn Pugsley

And no, not in the way you're probably thinking, again.

Wipqozn Pugsley

I think that does fit the text-book definition of pornography @GnomeSlice. I think you're actually just distorted the term to only apply to something more vulgar.

GnomeSlice

Way, newgrounds just went down.

@WipqoznPugsley I didn't say 'pornography' and 'erotic art' are entirely separate.

Just mostly.

Can anybody else not access newgrounds right now?

Wipqozn Pugsley

Pornography seems to cover everything from erotic art to "Lisa Passes Her Oral Exam"

@GnomeSlice I can not.

GnomeSlice

Erotic art is just a subset of pornography it seems.

Ben Brocka

Deism

Deism ( or ) is a religious philosophy which holds that reason and observation of the natural world, without the need for organized religion, can determine that the universe is the product of an intelligent creator(s). According to deists, the creator rarely, if ever, either intervenes in human affairs or suspends the natural laws of the universe. Deists typically reject supernatural events such as prophecy and miracles, tending instead to assert that a god (or "the Supreme Architect") does not alter the universe by intervening in it. This idea is also known as the clockwork universe theor...

Mine seems okay.

@BoltClocksaUnicorn Something's terribly wrong with yours.

@fredley Actually, I'm pretty sure I have more than 200 rep on more than just two sites...

Q: When do units say their annoyed quotes?

When looking up SC2 units on Liquipedia, I noticed that there are a number of categories of quotes for each unit. Most of these are self explanatory as to when they play, but I'm not sure when the "annoyed" quotes are triggered. When do the units say these quotes?

@GnomeSlice Yeah.

Huh, maybe not, actually.

@Sterno Yeah because SOers hate looking at other people's code

@BoltClocksaUnicorn It just seems like every question would be "too localized"

@Sterno I know, right?

Area51 has been a great tool to provide entire sites to cater to SO's close reasons.

Programmers.SE is Stack Overflow's too subjective, Code Review is its too localized.

Ronan Forman

@ArdaXi And all the others are off topic!

Arda Xi

Let's see... Code Golf is not constructive.

Also not a real question.

The autoplaying video on gog.com's homepage for the Witcher 2 EE is obnoxious

GnomeSlice

@YiJiang So... don't stay on their homepage?

Yi Jiang

@GnomeSlice It's where my bookmark goes. I think I'll change it to the games I own page instead

@PeterGrace We played on the server this sunday, there were 7 of us and there was barely any (if any) lag. Thanks!

Peter Grace

@RonanForman awesome!

I'm really pleased to hear it worked out well

Today in the US, it's both Tax Day and Tax Freedom Day!

@Sterno What?

Sterno

@BoltClocksaUnicorn Today is the day income taxes are due. It is also the day that, if you imagine all your salary to this point in the year going to taxes, the rest is actually yours to keep (on average)

Peter Grace

hmm, interesting

@PeterGrace I found a Rossi R92 in .357!

Ooh, nice! How much?

@Wipqozn86 Nope

@OrigamiRobot High Five! That's a great price for that.

Q: What is the most efficient way to use TNT?

After months of curiosity I have finally caved (no pun intended) to trying out minecraft. I am currently trying to clear out a very large 25x25 area. I have built my first block of TNT and I'm ready to get down to buisness. I have read that enclosed in stone the explosion will create a 3x3x3 hole...

@PeterGrace Well, I should say the two people interested in it in front of me did the haggling :P

12:50 PM

@Lazers LOL, use worldedit and change all 25x25 blocks to TNT and KABOOOOOM

(and watch as the server freezes while the system tries to render the explosions)

Q: Do Blasts Pass Through Obsidian?

I'm in a bit of a pickle. It seems someone playing on my friend's SMP server decided that it would be a good idea for him to do some testing with TNT. Now, he's conscientiously set this atrocity up a reasonable distance from the rest of the construction on the server, so I don't think that ...
