@MBraedley I just moved. I am pretty sure the roommate kept the can opener.
 
If I didn't know better, I'd call the tone of that Fox article 'jubilant'.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Honestly read it first time as Rise of the Butt Cartel
 
another puppy
 
@Fredley would probably be a more entertaining xpack.

@Ullallulloo For some reason that makes me want to sing the "I'm a little teapot" song
 
@GnomeSlice
That's assuming you don't have those games yet, I guess.
 
@Ullallulloo Twin Sector being the only title I have ever heard about and don't have of those ones

Evening, Bridge.

@Fluttershy Evening!
 
user15026
@fbueckert y u still not on steam
 
@AshleyNunn "Tip me over and--oof! What happen?"
 
user15026
@Fluttershy giggles That is precisely how it works in my head
 
12:38 AM
Woo! Okay, guys I've done what I came here to do!
 
@MBraedley Tis a shame that badge can't be awarded more than once.
 
user15026
@MBraedley Gonna rage quit impressively now?
 
@AshleyNunn That's the plan :P
 
user15026
@MBraedley I knew it!
 
Twice in the past year I've killed my streak because of vacation. Not this time! No, I persevered through Christmas, meat fingers and all!
 
user15026
12:40 AM
@MBraedley Meat fingers? Do I dare ask?
 
Dec 27 '12 at 19:01, by MBraedley
Arg, chat needs a big buttons for meat fingers option. It's hard to hit the reply and star buttons.
And this:

Q: Can we get a better chat UI for tablets?

MBraedleyCall it the big buttons for meat fingers option. This Christmas break, I've been living my digital life primarily through my iPad. With the mobile UI, I'm severely limited in what I can do in chat. With the desktop UI, I find it difficult to hit the star and reply buttons. Trying to do so, I ...

The variable bool bigButtonsForMeatFingers made it into an app my boss worked on because he had a hard time using the touch screen because of his big fingers.
 
user15026
@MBraedley I was scared it meant that you had like ground your fingers with something
 
I may have to buy that
 
@SaintWacko Not Torgue? The manliest man shirt available?
EXPLOSIONS!!!

Whee! I have internet that is not me tethering to my phone! This is exciting.
 
@MBraedley No Torgue shirt available
Torgue: Bastard guns for bastard people
 
@AshleyNunn Was eating sushi with an old colleague.

1:08 AM
@SaintWacko Yeah, my characters aren't there yet
 
@MBraedley Well, did you see what level I am?
 
@SaintWacko Yes, I see that
 
@MBraedley That was... interesting
I was 28 by the time we were done
 
That's what power levelling is for
Aah! Too many interruptions to my note block creation!
 
@MBraedley Heh

1:46 AM
@SaintWacko That's hilarious
 
2:07 AM
@StrixVaria that is what all of my contest pokemon looked like
 
@SaintWacko wow, 3 levels already? Nice
 
And they say it's a kids show...
 
@Wipqozn I loved today's xkcd
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone There'd be so much rage at that today
 
2:12 AM
@BenBrocka I just checked Wikipedia. The show is old - it started in 1998, which is a lot earlier than I thought
 
user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone ....that is awesome. XD
 
@AshleyNunn I finished Ready Player One.
It was pretty awesome.
 
user15026
@StrixVaria Thoughts?
 
No spoilers, please
 
It was obviously a first novel. A few things came up that were a little too convenient for the characters, and a few parts were a little too predictable. It was still a great story, though.
 
user15026
2:18 AM
@StrixVaria Also, if you liked it, read Mr. Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore. It has a similar feel.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Vague enough?
 
It's okay. Just don't reveal any story element
Just one question: How much 80s references are there in the story?
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone The book is like an 80s fanfiction.
> A gleeful and exhilarating tale of global conspiracy, complex code-breaking, high-tech data visualization, young love, rollicking adventure, and the secret to eternal life—mostly set in a hole-in-the-wall San Francisco bookstore.
I read "rollicking" as "rickrolling" at least 5 times.
 
Hmmm, most of those would fly over my head
 
user15026
Wow, that makes it sound less awesome than it is
 
user15026
2:20 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It's not as bad as it seems - it does explain most of them, afaik
 
Yeah it explains the significance of all the references it makes fairly well.
There were a bunch of things it referenced that I didn't know about, but it still worked.

10 hours ago, by Yi Jiang's Evil Clone
Just going to back fro the the library. These will be what I'll be reading for the next week or so
 
user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Whats on the far left?
 
I read some of the Earthsea stuff by Ursula K. Le Guin and it was terrible.
 
The leftmost book is Old Twentieth by Joe Haldeman
 
user15026
2:22 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Ah, I couldn't tell from the cover what it was
 
I'm going to give her another chance with The Dispossessed, and if that's not good I won't be reading anything else by her.
 
@StrixVaria The Dispossessed is mostly intellectual. It discusses the idea of an anarchist state
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Maybe I shouldn't read that, then.
 
The plot is basically a scientist from a planet founded on anarchist ideals travelling to its sister planet, a capitalist society somewhat like contemporary Earth
 
I have plenty of stuff to read, anyway.
More than I'll ever get to, probably.
 
user15026
2:29 AM
I have a huge backlog thanks to @fbueckert
 
I keep finding entire series I want to read faster than I can read individual books.
 
I'm working through the Culture series. That's going to take a while.
 
I'm generally more into Fantasy than Science Fiction.
I don't know if I could commit to a series like that.
(Note: I just looked it up and have never heard of it before.)
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone That series is great
 
I've always thought that Earthsea stories are held in pretty high regards in fantasy circles
 
2:33 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I didn't like her writing style in it.
It was written like a summary of a story, rather than as a story itself.
 
@StrixVaria The little Le Guin I've read, was crazy dry.
 
It was pretty much all "telling", and no "showing".
 
@fbueckert She can be a bit dry, yes
 
user15026
All this talk of reading makes me REALLY miss my ereader
 
@AshleyNunn What happened to it?
 
user15026
2:37 AM
@StrixVaria It died a terrible death like my other 3 so I am waiting on a replacement
 
:(
Having read a few books on my Kindle, now, I don't know if I could read one out of an actual book again.
 
user15026
@StrixVaria It is definitely a weird experience, switching back and forth
 
user15026
I like the convenience of the ereader the most
 
Tempted to delete my account just to see what happens to everyone else when they roll back my 3,300 votes.
 
I like the smell of dead trees. I'm weird like that.
 
2:42 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Have you read The Left Hand of Darkness yet?
 
@RavenDreamer Yup.
 
That's the LeGuin book I'm most familiar with.
 
"Feminist Science Fiction" pass.
 
user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone OMG booksmell
 
@StrixVaria It's not feminist, no
 
user15026
2:44 AM
Old books smell the best. And freshly printed ones.
 
I read the Earthsea saga too, but I was much younger, so all I remember (in no particular order) is a wizard (of Earthsea!), a shadow that chases him, then he spends time chasing, and some sort of cult priestess who navigated a maze in the darkness.
 
It's more about gender, and it's role in society. I was too young when I first read it to understand some of the ideas discussed in the story. I reread it last year; I think I'm still too young

A: What determines what races a slaver can provide?

iberAs far as I remember there isn't any order or rule for that. It looks like it is randomly generated - wikia suggest the same. I have only one "rule" that come to my mind. I can't remember that I have slave that was the same race as slaver ship would suggest - but this might be a coincidence.

Can someone make sense of this?
 
It's about a human-like people who only exhibit gender once a month (more or less)
 
@OrigamiRobot The race of the slave is random, except the slave will never be the same race as the slavers
 
2:46 AM
> I have only one "rule" that come to my mind.
 
Rule of thumb.
 
People that don't like Ursula LeGuin are mostly monsters.
Just saying.
 
user15026
That reminds me in a roundabout way of Mercedes Lackey and Piers Anthony's I Pay Thee Not in Gold - there is a demon character in it that does some interesting gender switching stuff
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot That is so very awesome and it made me not smile because smiling at grumpy cat is wrong somehow
 
2:53 AM
@AshleyNunn And now due to the logic of the ravenshark brain, I am picturing a male version of @FAE rolling around on a pile of gold coins.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz This coming from the guy who's picky about pizza. Your taste, sir, is in question.
 
@AshleyNunn -That sounds like a lot of Piers Anthony's demons
at least in Xanth
 
user15026
@RavenDreamer You are a weird shark
 
user15026
@SaintWacko I haven't really read much of his stuff
 
@AshleyNunn Demons are fallen angels, ergo, gender-switching @FAE being paid in gold.
 
2:56 AM
@RavenDreamer Except for Crowley
He didn't so much fall as saunter gently downwards
 
user15026
@RavenDreamer That makes sense. actually
 
@RavenDreamer I bet FAE would be into a male version of herself...
 
@OrigamiRobot If you wouldn't do you, you should talk to yourself and figure out what you could do to make you like you better.
 
@RavenDreamer A gender swapped version of me?
 
@OrigamiRobot Or not. I don't judge.
 
3:00 AM
I'd be too shy to talk to myself. And vice-versa.
 
@OrigamiRobot As long as the attraction is there!
 
user15026
@RavenDreamer Heck yes I would. Perhaps more.
 
@RavenDreamer I'm not into ladies with facial hair.
 
@OrigamiRobot ...I'm sorry the female version of you has a soul patch?
 
... I don't have a soul patch
 
3:03 AM
Since this is a hypothetical you, hypothetically, you do.
 
No version of me would ever have a soul patch.
 
user15026
I think male me should have hair that is the chromatic opposite of mine.
 
@Ullallulloo I can't get a good grasp of what the gameplay is supposed to be like
 
We should do another game giveaway with that in it.
 
user15026
I think it would generate good questions based in the description.
 
Need to see gameplay before I get excited.
 
Ladies and gentlemen, your Marshal has achieved 1000 helpful flags.

That's 1328 in total
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone You also have been around twice as long as me.
 
Anyway, something's not quite right with this computer
It unexpectedly shutdown while I was taking a nap
The Event logs says it entered sleep at 11.28am, then after restarting this was recorded:
> The previous system shutdown at 11:27:30 on ‎2013/‎1/‎15 was unexpected.
It's not a BSOD, which would give me the 'send report to Microsoft?' thingy
The last event recorded before the reboot was at 11.29am "The Computer Browser service entered the stopped state."
The computer can't be recording events after it has shut itself down
 
@badp did you use + max health relics? I Thought someone did. Got a +43.6% one
 
user15026
@yijiang that is an odd sequence of events.
 
Vermi wants hugs
 
There might be something that's causing the system to crash when it goes into sleep

Where's the Seraph Vendor in the Badass Crater of Badassitude? Map screenshots and a general description of how...

 
@Ullallulloo The only one that really tempts me is Trapped Dead. Otherwise, I have enough games to know that I should stop buying games I might not ever play. :P
 
@GnomeSlice Probably a good idea. I didn't buy it either because I have half of them.
 
@Ullallulloo I think I only have Unstoppable Gorg. I've been looking at Future Wars for a while too, but I have other strategy games.
 
5:02 AM
@GnomeSlice I might only have I just checked, and I actually have none of them.
I doubt I'd ever play them though, anyway.
Also, this looks really cool.
Hopefully we get a giveaway for it.
 
I thought we aren't doing giveaways anymore
 
@Ullallulloo starforge.com
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Naw, they stopped because Lauren left.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Someone said that they're looking to start it up again, just being more selective and looking for good games.

user127248Manufacture date for this console is 2008-04-10 and has an HDMI port. I used a genuine MS component cable for testing.

Can one of the mods go yell at SU and tell them not to migrate junk?
 
@fbueckert I VTC'd because the user doesn't exist anymore. Any questions or requests to make it clearer will fall on deaf ears.
 
@OrigamiRobot The user doesn't exist because it was migrated from SU.
Accounts don't make it over as part of the migration.
 
I've never seen that happen.
 
@OrigamiRobot That happens with almost every migration.
 
@GnomeSlice I'm not arguing that it's not what happened.
I've just never seen it.

PSU_KardiSo I went to turn on the 360 yesterday to play some NCAA as I like to do from time to time and noticed that nothing came up on the screen.

7:07 AM
Yay, I finally managed to get Rainmeter set up and running
 
@fbueckert what's wrong with the question?
 
@Sathya He doesn't like new users or migrated questions or anything about consoles
 
@GnomeSlice so we should give a damn about that & miraculously remember one dude's whims?
 
@Sathya He probably has a better reason than that, I was just making a witty comment on the fact that he complains about questions a lot.
 
whatevs.
 
7:23 AM
@Sathya To be honest, I don't get why questions about game consoles shouldn't be on topic here, but some people think they shouldn't be.
 
@GnomeSlice Eh, questions about game consoles are.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Some people would disagree.
Which is just silly.
 
@Sathya I'm guessing it's the lack of details. And the fact that trying to repair a XBox 360 console all by yourself is not a very good idea
@GnomeSlice If there are, I've never heard of it.

then you smell yourself, @yij

9:55 AM
@badp I think I smell wonderful
 
@gno we still don't
 
the first thing that usually gets abuse in the morning is my alarm clock
 
@badp normal, too easy to make a big mistake with it, only admins can
 
SLEEPY ABUSE
 
which is why I put it out of reach, so I have to get out of bed
otherwise I'd have learned how to mute it in my sleep already
 
9:56 AM
@badp if it's still the same guy, i suggest you suspend and send a strongly worded letter
 
@kalina Captcha alarm clock on phone
Do maths to turn off
 
you know you're basically telling badp how to do the one thing he enjoys doing right?
 
@fredley you are mean, I'd die
 
I fancy one of these
 
9:57 AM
I can't do captchas sometimes when I'm sober and fully awake
 
@kalina I enjoyed doing that too and can't do it anymore. So.
 
I wouldn't stand a chance first thing in the morning
 
Why would somebody upvote this answer.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't know, more importantly why are you awake?
It's 10am
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Hmmm, "getting it off the review queue" isn't a valid answer anymore
 
9:59 AM
I'm not awake yet
 
It basically amounts to "I looked in all of the places and then looked in this one again."
 
@kalina You're late
 
I don't wake up until the afternoon
the worst of it is
 
@kalina I went to bed at like 8:30 PM by accident.
 
I wrote a wonderful SQL script which imports users from Active Directory onto a SQL server
 
9:59 AM
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz How does one go to bed accidentally?
 
and a customer has paid to have it installed
turns out, they use SQL2000
 
@yijiang facedesk
 
and our sales team are fucking retards
 
@fredley Oh shit integration by parts DIE
 
10:00 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I went to bed at 10pm yesterday
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Lol, it's much more complex than that
 
It was nice getting 11 hours of sleep on a weekday
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Although you would use by parts in the first instance
 
@fredley What do you need halp with?
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone ,/ x * e ^x is tricky though
@RonanForman Epic quantities of fail
 
10:01 AM
@kalina can't bank sleep. My body decided 9 hours was enough, and going back to bed now seems silly.
 
@fredley You could just use integration by parts on that too?
 
@RonanForman Run out of copper, go free mining in mining world, fall in lava, get out, but die
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Try it
 
@fredley Okay... Care to elaborate?
@fredley Did you get your stuff back?
 
@RonanForman Then respawn, go back, die in same lava, then respawn, go back, get killed by mobs, then respawn, go back, get killed by mobs...
@RonanForman Yes
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Oh no, I'm getting confused, it's x^x that is hard. Maths was a long time ago
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz the longest I can sleep for in one go is ~30 hours
and with ~30 hours of sleep I can stay awake for the best part of a week
 
10:04 AM
@fredley Oh I may not have mentioned, the bright modififer of ages only makes it appear bright, mobs will still spawn in caves without torches.
 
@RonanForman Yeah, this became apparent. 2 skeletons and a spider at death point. Crafted a set of iron armour each time, only to lose it.
 
So... there's nothing @badp can do about this?
 
@Fredley Ouch. For some reason I appear to die more often on the server than normal.
 
@yij emailed the higher ups
you posted that just in time to add that to the list
@fredley it's either zero or one, everything is!
 
@RonanForman The lag was making it awful, because I was in a hurry, I was rushing to death point (at the bottom of the shaft) while chunks were still loading, meaning combat was near impossible
@badp Indefinite integral
@YiJiang'sEvilClone About what?
 
10:12 AM
@fredley A serial spammer who keep posting rubbish
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Oh. Bathe in flags, scrooge McDuck style.
Would photoshop, but not nearly enough time
