The Bridge

@SaintWacko Yeah

Ew, except it's cut off on the edges

> How should I deal with an employee sleeping with my wife?

Somehow I knew that'd make it into the hot questions list

@SaintWacko Yeah, this is a problem

5:35 PM

@fredley The circular ones don't work all that well

A month or two for RK! Fuck!

:(

@fredley Fuuuuuuuu-

The best part of the stream is listening to the engineer give those tidbits of computer history and watch the look on everybody else's face as they clearly don't give a fuck and want the exposition to end as fast as possible.

...and then he starts a whole new aside to go on for five more minutes.

Wow, there are people outside of films that actually sound like that

@fredley ikr

Wow, I wonder how many of these questions will be things that have been answered over and over

5:38 PM

@SaintWacko All of them. All questions ever.

Want transparent

So much

@fredley Meh, I think the black looks better

@SaintWacko I'm getting black

These questions are boring, I'm going home

@fredley Me too

> Question: How do you charge the Pebble battery?

posted in the chat

facepalm

Lol

OTA hardware update

@fredley I'll make my own questions! With blackjack! And hookers!

@SaintWacko want

@BenBrocka Have a built in 3d printer

that would be amazing

A device that could modify itself

People are idiots

5:50 PM

@SaintWacko maybe I'll finally be able to download a car and rub it in the FBI's face

@BenBrocka Hehe

@GnomeSlice I'll make sure to get Gut Shot so I can make people vulnerable from a distance.

That way you can use Telling Blow without having to feint first.

@OrigamiRobot Are you Nymos?

@badp I don't know what that means.

@OrigamiRobot I can use what? I've never played a Rogue before.

6:01 PM

@GnomeSlice Telling Blow is an attack at +4 damage, but you can only use it on a foe who is vulnerable (off-balance, flanked, etc)

It is awesome.

@OrigamiRobot Excellent.

One of the minor skills you can get is Feint, which makes a foe off-balance.

So on your own, you have to spend both action to use Telling Blow.

If I take Gut Shot, I can make them vulnerable and you can Dash up to them with your minor and Telling Blow with your major.

It's getting hard to keep track of which character is in which group, because they're all named 'GnomeSlice'.

@OrigamiRobot A fourth player named Nymos joined me, Gnome and Ulla in a Conclave session. You were talking with Gnome about RPGy stuff

@RonanForman Server status?

6:07 PM

@badp Oh, nope. All my characters are obviously me.

Also, what client do I need?

We have a modded Minecraft server at mine.stackgaming.com, Use the Direwolf pack from the FTB launcher to play and talk at mumble.stackgaming.com!

@RonanForman )

@OrigamiRobot I accidentally hit enter too soon.

@RonanForman Aww, you started it while I was still at work!

6:10 PM

@SaintWacko When do you leave?

@RonanForman 3 hours

@SaintWacko That's pretty late over here.

Well 9pm, not too bad.

@RonanForman Oh... :(

Well, I guess there aren't too many people playing, I should still be able to find a good spot to build

@SaintWacko They'll be a launch party this weekend. :)

Oooooh, Borderlands 2 update.

In other news is TERA worth playing?

...because it's going F2P sometime next month

6:27 PM

Zim needs spreadsheets.

Or even, just, basic tabular data management.

@badp I was really into checking it out at one point and it looks pretty good. The gameplay videos I've seen look decent too. Still haven't played it though.

Also, don't play as a female.

@GnomeSlice Oh?

Jason Berkan

@GnomeSlice The breast animation physics aren't up to your standards?

@SaintWacko They all look like this

2

It's just embarassing.

Or this

For some reason, TERA went WAY overboard on the women, and it's kind of dumb.

Oh, talking about TERA. From what I heard, TERA grew old fast.

6:33 PM

They're trying to be nice about the new monetization scheme

...except paying customers now get one free hour of XP and whatnot boosters daily

@YiJiang'sEvilClone melly bilthday

Let me just be clear: I don't have a problem with games with all-attractive female characters, but TERA just doesn't do it right. Far too exaggerated proportions and bits hanging out

Yeah, I've seen the relevant birgirpall video.

NSFW

3

@badp Ahahahahahahahahah what

6:48 PM

@OrigamiRobot I like rogue, at least for normal tabletop games. It's fun to roll a giant pile of d6 for sneak attack damage

@BenBrocka "Rouge"?

Oh shut up

@BenBrocka Our GM let me make some very min/max-y decisions when i build my rogue in GURPS.

I called him The Staboteur

I was rolling on a 14 to dodge and and 18 to hit

I got some fairly ridiculous gear, he basically let us buy/craft whatever magical equips we want provided we met the reqs/cost

That's a 90% dodge chance.

6:53 PM

Concealed hand-crossbow for sneak attacks at up to 60m

Er 60 feet maybe. Whatever unit

@BenBrocka I built sentient daggers that gave me crazy bonuses when equipped.

I really want to play a tabletop RPG sometime

Say what you want about Hitler, but he killed Hitler.

Tweeted by iowahawkblog on January 9, 2013 at 6:22 PM

@OrigamiRobot I didn't quite have those

I just have an adamantium dagger in case I need it. I needed it once because it was non-magical and that's about it

Uh oh

@GnomeSlice I thought you were trying not to get flagged?

@OrigamiRobot What? It's a capture from a game.

But yeah, there are boobs I guess.

7:01 PM

@GnomeSlice Tell that to the person who flagged it.

@OrigamiRobot Seriously?

@OrigamiRobot Do they make witty remarks when you draw them and kill people?

@GnomeSlice Just because it's "from a game" doesn't make it "safe for work".

@BenBrocka They talked telepathically to me, but I had to talk out loud to them. It gave the impression that I was talking to myself.

@OrigamiRobot See, that kind of thing is why I want to play this game

7:03 PM

@OrigamiRobot Why did you need to talk to them?

@SaintWacko GURPS lets you do pretty much anything.

@OrigamiRobot It got flagged??

Shit

I thought it would be okay because it was small and clothed and stuff.

@BenBrocka Well, they used to belong to a wizard and so they knew all kinds of lore. Or at least, they thought they did.

Never played GURPS, havep layed d20 modern, pathfinder (the most) and I'm not sure what else. There was at least one more

@GnomeSlice Remember my Venn diagram? This is why I gave it to you.

7:06 PM

@OrigamiRobot That diagram made no sense, as I recall. There were things that didn't or did overlap that should or shouldn't have or something

@BenBrocka They could also detect humans so no one could sneak up on me.

Also, you wanted me to keep it? =[

@GnomeSlice It made perfect sense.

tombull89

Is there a question on the main site about moving some Steam games to a different library location? I want to move some downloaded but lesser-played games from my SSD to my 500GB spinning disk drive. I've created a new library and I can download new games to it, but can't seem to find a way to move the ones I currently have.

James

Hehehe

imore.com/…

@tombull89 Might have to just reinstall and choose a new location for them.

7:08 PM

@tombull89 I copied the files over to a different library with limited success

@tombull89 Ask away and see if it gets duped.

Some of the games show up as undownloaded, but if you pick the library where they are now, it finds the existing files when it tries to download, so you should keep your data

@BenBrocka I copied my entire library to my new PC a while ago, and all I had to do was 'download' the games and it would find the files. Some of them had to re-download some stuff, but not all of it.

tombull89

@BenBrocka I tried copying the files to the new location but when I tried to validate them it nopes out and goes to re-download the whole lot.

@GnomeSlice Yeah, that seems to be what it does. But the "undownloaded" ones bug me

tombull89

7:09 PM

I'll ask on main, thanks.

Dec 24 '12 at 2:03, by OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice Based on past events, you have trouble putting things in blue or yellow without having them overlap into red. Therefore, simply avoid them altogether.

@OrigamiRobot I am now somewhat curious about this diagram.

Dec 23 '12 at 19:52, by OrigamiRobot

Yellow text on a white background should get you banned

4

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, I found it. It makes perfect sense.

7:14 PM

@BenBrocka Looks like you need better eyes.

Ugh, I hate when I forget to save

@OrigamiRobot It's not that it's impossible to read, it's that it's hideous and harder to read than it should be

@OrigamiRobot The only one I need to worry about is the red, then...

@BenBrocka He should change it to light green on gray.

@GnomeSlice Based on past events, you have trouble putting things in blue or yellow without having them overlap into red. Therefore, simply avoid them altogether.

7:17 PM

That will increase viewing pleasure.

@OrigamiRobot So why not just make a diagram consisting of just the red circle, and include the other shit in it. If I'm not able to separate them, the Venn is pointless.

@GnomeSlice You are completely missing the point.

@GnomeSlice That's not how Venn Diagrams work.

@StrixVaria As usual.

7:20 PM

@BenBrocka I think you are overestimating the amount of effort I wanted to put into this.

@BenBrocka There are portions of white backgrounds and yellow text that aren't a bad thing?

@BenBrocka This makes no sense.

@GraceNote I think you're overestimating the amount of effort I put into this

Now @Origami needs to overestimate @GraceNote and we'll form a loop

Are we really arguing about proper venn diagramming?

Have we sunk so low?

@fbueckert Give me a moment.

7:23 PM

No one can overestimate @GraceNote. Only underestimate.

I'll assume that means @GraceNote is making the sarcastic diagram so I don't have to

@GraceNote Apparently, arguing about venn diagrams can get you banned.

@fbueckert Or arguing while making venn diagrams. I'm not sure which

@SaintWacko I'll play it safe and say venn diagrams are entirely off-topic.

Anyone who discusses them gets banned.

7:28 PM

@fbueckert No, I think we are currently hanging out in green.

But god help us if we end up in that...sickly...peach...orange...pink color

@BenBrocka Brown?

Oh it's just brown, it looks weird in the context of the other colors

@OrigamiRobot If the point of your thing is 'don't curse or women because those will probably get YOU banned', then why isn't it just one circle of cursing women and getting banned

@GnomeSlice That is not the point of the diagram by itself.

7:32 PM

And we're back to arguing about venn diagrams

@OrigamiRobot But I'm supposed to avoid the blue and the yellow and the red.

BAN! I ban you all!

So it's pointless.

Because there's nothing else left.

@GnomeSlice The point is, if you randomly pick a location in the blue circle, then there is a chance it will get you banned. Since you personally don't know where the line is, then posting something in the blue circle is like rolling the dice on getting banned. If you don't post anything in the blue circle at all, however, then you can avoid getting banned.

@GnomeSlice The diagram is showing that there are situations where swearing and pictures of women wont get you banned.

7:33 PM

Other people, on the other hand, who do know where the line is, can safely post things that are in the blue circle but not in the red circle.

@OrigamiRobot But you told me to avoid all of them.

I know how Venn Diagrams work.

I just thought you were using it wrong.

@GnomeSlice In addition to the diagram, I explained that since you can't tell the difference, avoid them all together

Q: Is it possible to move some steam games to a different library location (without re-downloading them?)

Okay, whatever.

@OrigamiRobot I can't

Lazers

I would like to move some of my lesser-played (but still downloaded) Steam Games from my SSD to my larger, secondary 500GB "data" hard disk in my machine. I have set up a new library location through Steam > Settings > Downloads + Cloud tab > Steam Library Folders > Add Library Folder and created...

steam

I propose to change the diagram so "THINGS THAT GET YOU BANNED" is white

That'll make things simpler for everybody involved

7:35 PM

Only post pictures of swearing women

I'm so sleepy

3

@BenBrocka That's terrible.

@tombull89 Copy the data from one library location to the other, then tell Steam to uninstall the game. Then choose to reinstall it to the other library

Also note that Valve games don't let you switch library locations, they can only be run from the "main" library.

Hour five of the Earthbound speedrun. Sigh.

In other news roughly in 23 hours they'll do Braid. Looking forward to that

7:47 PM

For most games I'd rather play them than watch a speed run.

Having said that, Game Grumps just finished Sonic 2006's Sonic story.

@Powerlord Speedruns are mostly amusing to see the crazy broken stuff you can do, at least if you're into that.

@Powerlord The hell, why.

@GnomeSlice No idea. I just know that attempting to install them doesn't ask you which Library you want.

►

It may also be true of other SteamWorks games, such as Civ 5 or Skyrim.

7:50 PM

@Powerlord The Left 4 Dead speed run was surprisingly interesting

@GnomeSlice Those are fun too, probably don't help you beat the game though

Jason Berkan

Y'all have too much free time. I don't have time to play video games, let alone watch other people play them.

@JasonBerkan to the contrary, I don't have enough time to play all the great videogames in history

Sure, watching six hours of Earthbound isn't the way to enjoy the game but for other titles it works okay.

@BenBrocka Neither does a speed run, usually.

@badp That's an interesting reason to watch speedruns.

If you don't have time to play video games you probably have too much other kinds of time

7:55 PM

But don't they skip all of the dialogue and shit?

Jason Berkan

@badp I guess - if you don't consider the actual gameplay of a video game to be important.
