@SaintWacko If you haven't read it yet, do so. It is amazing.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@SaintWacko if you like Gaiman and haven't read AG, fix that. It's certainly his best work

@LessPop_MoreFizz But that means I have to add more books to my library...

Bah

Fluttershy

@SaintWacko It is worth it.

user15026

@saintwacko AG is amazing. TRUST ME.

Picnic Button

@Fluttershy I left

Was at dinner.

LessPop_MoreFizz

In other news, word is HBO American Gods in 2014.

StrixVaria

He wrote Stardust, right?

I've only seen the movie. Was the book good?

Fluttershy

2:06 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz Whaaaat!? Like a miniseries?

@StrixVaria The book was better than the movie.

StrixVaria

@Fluttershy Guess that's going on my already-too-long list.

Fluttershy

@StrixVaria =D

LessPop_MoreFizz

@fluttershy actual series, not miniseries. Commit is for 3 seasons I think?

Fluttershy

@StrixVaria You should just go ahead and add all of Gaiman's stuff to that list. >_> All of it.

StrixVaria

@Fluttershy Let me read one and then figure out where to go from there.

Fluttershy

2:07 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz That is amazing. I'm not even sure how they're gonna do that... But that is amazing.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Correction, six seasons

fbueckert

@Fluttershy Neil Gaiman is the one who wrote Stardust?

LessPop_MoreFizz

screenrant.com/…

Fluttershy

@StrixVaria If you're going to start with one Gaiman book over the other, I'd go with Good Omens, or Neverwhere

StrixVaria

Each book on the list is generally a placeholder for an entire series of books.

@Fluttershy I choose Neverwhere based only on title.

Fluttershy

2:08 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz or @AshleyNunn I'm not steering Strix wrong here, am I?

LessPop_MoreFizz

I'd start with American Gods.

Raven Dreamer

What is American Gosd about?

LessPop_MoreFizz

I'd start with Good Omens only for someone who is already a Pratchett fan.

Mana

@LessPop_MoreFizz this album is horrible/amazing.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Otherwise, always start with AG

@mana My Dick?

StrixVaria

2:09 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz I haven't read any Pratchett yet, but he's on the list too.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Baker Dick is magical.

Fluttershy

@StrixVaria Good Omens was a collaboration. Gaiman and Pratchett.

Mana

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yes.

SaintWacko

@LessPop_MoreFizz But who wouldn't be a Pratchett fan?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@strix I'd still start with AG. I wouldn't suggest Good Omens as a starting point for either Pratchett or Gaiman. But it's a good segue between the two.

SaintWacko

2:10 AM

@Fluttershy Kinda the best combination ever

LessPop_MoreFizz

I feel like for a new reader, American Gods does everything Neverwhere does better than Neverwhere.

@mana Fields of Dick is also special.

Picnic Button

Jesus Christ, what the hell is this.

> ....'coding' is not about one coder impressing the other coder about how well he/she codes. it is about the Human interface..

Raven Dreamer

Again, What is American Gods about?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Raven every mythological figure ever is real.

For example, Odin is a traveling con man, using the name Mr. Wednesday.

winterswift

@Raven I happen to endorse that book, heavily.

2:15 AM

These old European and othergods are at war with new 'American Gods' such as Fame and Money.

@PicnicButton Gross site.

Ullallulloo

@LessPop_MoreFizz Xenu and Tezcatlipoca? D:

Fluttershy

@LessPop_MoreFizz And Television!

Raven Dreamer

@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't.

Whoa.

Picnic Button

@fbueckert Terrible

Raven Dreamer

2:15 AM

That's profound.

Ullallulloo

@PicnicButton dat flash

fbueckert

And that saying is essentially an excuse to go, "I suck at coding! But it doesn't matter!"

Picnic Button

In fact, I think it's intentionally shitty. The links aren't even clickable.

Fluttershy

@RavenDreamer If you've never read it, you should.

winterswift

@Raven Neil Gaiman is pretty cool.

Raven Dreamer

2:16 AM

Fred Saberhagen.

Picnic Button

Also, one of the 'interesting links' is this.

LessPop_MoreFizz

I have a signed first edition of American Gods. I R Speshul.

Fluttershy

@LessPop_MoreFizz I am incredibly jealous.

I have a signed copy of Real Life Comics Vol. 1! =D

@PicnicButton Jesus, what is that?

Picnic Button

@winterswift I think it's a joke site.

It must be.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Fluttershy Also Anansi Boys, and Smoke & Mirrors.

Picnic Button

US IT Racism

Fluttershy

@LessPop_MoreFizz Triply jealous. =(

Picnic Button

I think whoever created that site just found a bunch of hilarious links to put on the side.

Fluttershy

@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm trying to get an autographed copy of Alice: Madness Returns! =D

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Fluttershy I probably shouldn't tell you about my various one degree of separation relationships to the guy then.

Fluttershy

2:20 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't even know what that means.

SaintWacko

@LessPop_MoreFizz I am jealous

Also, I want a signed copy of Good Omens

winterswift

@PicnicButton Well, the Facebook page is a dead link, but someone's actually posted on the Twitter account.

fbueckert

Ok, a few hours spent punching out some stored procedures is enough overtime for one day.

@Fluttershy I am friends with a number of people who are friends with NG.

@LessPop_MoreFizz That is pretty awesome. =3

@MBraedley Nice.

@Wipqozn One of us!

@RavenDreamer Sort of.

@LessPop_MoreFizz According to Facebook, I have one degree of separation from Rebecca Black. I need to scrub my friends list.

Picnic Button

@MBraedley What the. Why is an asgard wearing shades.

MBraedley

2:24 AM

@PicnicButton Cause I put them on him

Wipqozn

@RavenDreamer: It's the title the people of middle earth gave to the Istari, who were Mairar.

Picnic Button

@MBraedley Where did the image come from in the first place lol

Ullallulloo

@PicnicButton Cuz we're cool.

Wipqozn

Source: LOTR wiki.

MBraedley

but you flatter me without being able to immediately tell that it's shopped

Wipqozn

2:25 AM

Also, I'm going to watch MLP so toodles for now

Picnic Button

@MBraedley It's pretty clear when you look at it in full view, but from far away it looks alright.

Raven Dreamer

I should put a shaded monocle on my shark.

MBraedley

@PicnicButton Just two random images online. Actually, one is from the stargate wiki

Ullallulloo

@MBraedley It's actually pretty good.

No obvious aliasing.

fbueckert

@Ullallulloo D'oh. Somebody should revoke my geek card. I so didn't recognize that as an Asgard.

MBraedley

2:27 AM

@Ullallulloo The colour to alpha actually did most of the work for me. I only had to touch up the arm to make it less transparent.

Fluttershy

@RavenDreamer You should

MBraedley

Then adjust the levels, fix the size, and boom, it's done

Ullallulloo

@MBraedley Oh, you actually have Photoshop?

MBraedley

@Ullallulloo No, I wouldn't use it enough to make it worth my while. I use GIMP

Fluttershy

And now... I play a rhythm-based strategy game.

Picnic Button

2:29 AM

@Fluttershy Oh, oh, let me guess.

Ullallulloo

@MBraedley Ah, I lack the will to use that.

Picnic Button

...... I got nothing.

Ullallulloo

Paint.NET doesn't have that though.

@Fluttershy Theatrythem or Pata-pon?

@Fluttershy Definitey had to read that one twice.

Fluttershy

@RavenDreamer I have both of those. <_<

2:31 AM

@MBraedley I did not know that was a thing.

Guess I'll reinstall GIMP.

MBraedley

@Ullallulloo It has been for a little while. But it's not enabled by default

Raven Dreamer

GIMP is pretty bloated these days.

Paint.NET is maybe 1/10 the size

(And good enough for my needs)

Ullallulloo

I had to use Inkscape to make mine, so I can probably work it.

MBraedley

@RavenDreamer But not as bloated as Photoshop. I've tried Paint.NET, and it just doesn't do it for me. Too much in between a drawing, painting, and photo touch-up app.

Raven Dreamer

Honestly, if MS Paint did transparency, I'd stick with it.

Ullallulloo

2:35 AM

@RavenDreamer It took me so long to figure out how to resize something in Paint yesterday.

I missed menus.

Although that's not a real criticism if you know how to use it, I guess.

MBraedley

@RavenDreamer I only use Paint for cropping images that need nothing else done to them, or adding annotations to raster images. Everything else is in GIMP or the drawing program de jour.

Raven Dreamer

Alright guys, I have to leave so I can go do laundry so I have clothes to wear tomorrow.

(I have to leave one house, to go to another house, to move the laundry to a third house, where I can do it)

MBraedley

@RavenDreamer Clothes are overrated.

Raven Dreamer

(This is the wrong way to do laundry)

@MBraedley ah, but dresscodes are mandatory

I had forgotten how easy Inferno is now at MP 1.

Q: Local Vis Aura maximum dropped?

I managed to find a Silverwood Sapling the other day and planted it on top of my house (which is pretty much just a hole in the ground). After several days, it finally grew into a tree and I noticed something odd. Originally, my local Aura was 468/468. However, when my tree grew, it dropped to 95...

Q: Best follower in Skyrim?

I've just started my second play through of Skyrim and I want to have a follower which one should i pick my first choices would either be Uthgerd, Lydia, or Kharjo. This time I'm trying to be more of an assassin/archer but all of them seem to give me away any ideas or should I go alone?

Curse you internet.

Wipqozn

@PicnicButton Do you have really bad internet?

Picnic Button

Some times.

Fluttershy

Aaaand Orgarhythm kinda sucks.

Picnic Button

2:45 AM

Tonight is apparently one of those times.

Wipqozn

Ah, I see. Interesting.

Picnic Button

@Wipqozn Not really.

Fluttershy

@PicnicButton What's your average download speed?

Picnic Button

@Fluttershy I have no idea. I don't track it.

Right now, it's saying it's going to take an hour to download 8 MB...

Guess I'll pass on that for nwo

Wipqozn

Wow, that's really bad.

Ullallulloo

2:47 AM

@PicnicButton Dial-up?

Picnic Button

Yeah, it's bad.

Some times it works pretty well.

MBraedley

Do you share with roommates/family? If so, tell them to turn off their torrents.

Picnic Button

Family.

Also everyone else in the neighbourhood.

Wipqozn

Downloading games must be a real pain with that kind of internet.

Picnic Button

Depends on the game.

Wipqozn

2:50 AM

ah, I see. Ever run into issues with steam?

Picnic Button

Someone in here linked a game called Corrypt a few days ago, and that one wasn't too bad.

I suck at it though.

MBraedley

Damn my overcast skies. It' be nice to see the moon and Jupiter when their separation is so small.

Wipqozn

@PicnicButton Yeah, that was Gnomeslice. you two seem to have a very similiar interest in games. You'll need to ask him for some recommendations some time!

Fluttershy

This needs to get Greenlit.

@Wipqozn Steam definitely doesn't run on dial-up. It uses tons of internet for seemingly no reason lots of times.
