hmmm @tombull89 asks what day it is and when I google it, I get this, are you trying to say something @tombull89?

National Coming Out Day

National Coming Out Day (NCOD) is an internationally observed civil awareness day celebrating individuals who publicly identify as bisexual, gay, lesbian, transgender—coming out regarding one's sexual orientation and/or gender identity being akin to a cultural rite of passage for LGBT people. The day is observed annually by members of the LGBT community and allies on October 11. History NCOD was founded in 1988 by Robert Eichberg, a psychologist from New Mexico and founder of the personal growth workshop, The Experience, and Jean O'Leary, an openly gay political leader from Los Angeles a...

International Day of the Girl Child

8:31 AM

@kalina it is also your day today!

International Day of the Girl Child is an international observance day declared by the United Nations. October 11, 2012, was the first Day of the Girl. The observation supports more opportunity for girls, and increases awareness of inequality faced by girls worldwide based upon their gender. This inequality includes areas such as access to education, nutrition, legal rights, medical care, and protection from discrimination, violence and unfree child marriage. History The International Day of the Girl Child initiative began as a project of Plan International, a non-governmental organizatio...

the fact there is a "day" for that means it's too mainstream and I can't be associated with it

is there a International Day of the Man Child?

Today is also my birthday.

@tombull89 I don't think so

Where is my Wikipedia page?

8:35 AM

how old are you?

@Blem oh. Horrible

25

I think

you are from 88?

yes

25 is ancient

8:36 AM

A quarter-century.

shut up. I feel bad about turning 24 this year.

25 is 25% older than me

TZHX

25 is a child.

I will be 26 in a couple of weeks :(

Q: Is there a 4-seater car in GTA 5 that doesn't have a rear window?

A quick question, is there any 4-seater cars that don't have a rear window? I'm looking for a protected getaway car for online.

@kalina You have a point, brb coffee

@kalina He's probably very good at sewing.

I wish I was only 25

I wish I was still a teenager

And I wish I wasn't at work

8:41 AM

a few years from now I'm actually going to have to grow up

5

I wish I was still at school

school was so easy in comparison to work

@kalina True, but the money is better.

just give me a perpetual loop between the ages of 11 and 18

@kalina LIES, i am far from being a teenager and i still am not grown up!

so many awesome things happened during that age range

@Blem How old are you now?

8:45 AM

incredible, I have a star that doesn't have any innuendo in it

@Arperum he's nearly 40

poor guy

old enough to be my father

@kalina im half way there from your age

26 mins ago, by fredley

Oh dear

@fredley this is a new level of devious

strangely, just as I clicked it, I thought

@Arperum It is on my profile!

"this would be a really good rebecca black trap"

@kalina Indeed it is

8:46 AM

and then BAM

Friday Friday Gotta Get Down On Friday

@kalina I thought you didn't touch stuff on my servers?

@fredley I still have your changelog open

@fredley I aprove!

I'm terrible at closing tabs

@Blem lazy

8:47 AM

@kalina True

I still have warp open

44192379812 coins

because I will ever need them

@fredley I should have seen the trap when it was something on your server AND the name is friday in french.

@Arperum was a little bit of a givaway

@kalina I STILL clicked, and was then confused for a split second until my brain got the "Oh right, stupid url rewrite shizzles"

I wasn't surprised at all

8:52 AM

@kalina surprised would be the wrong word, it was no surprise, it was just confusion "Didn't I click some image? Oh right, url-rewrite shizzles."

yeah, I totally went into it with the viewpoint that I had just clicked on a Rebecca Black link

@Arperum <?php header('Location: FRIDAY'); ?>

@Arperum This is what I've learned about trolling. Even when suspicious, people still click

The more blatant you can make it the better, because people still click.

@fredley You had to direct that .jpg file to some php file though, that was the part that confused me for a fraction.

@Arperum Nothing that devious. Just a folder called vendredi.jpg, with the above index.php.

@Arperum It's not a file it's a folder

@fredley Bah. dots in foldernames.

8:58 AM

@Arperum Yup

@fredley dots in foldernames are BAD

@Arperum Which is good, from a trolling perspective

@Arperum Trolling - everything goes.

@spyder Second playthrough - skip all the dialogue.

9:00 AM

@fredley Still bad. url-rewrite wouldn't have been hard either though.

@Arperum Nope. But badness does not matter a jot to me

This is just my personal mucking around server, so I'll do what I waoownt

@fredley But style...

the dirtier the hack, the more likely people will fall for it

@kalina This

►

@fredley Burnination activated.

9:02 AM

@Arperum Damn it, I should have hardcoded the inability to burn my messages into my plugin

@fredley I'd just go for rewrite rules, way more flexibility if I need it.

I'M TOO MUCH OF A SAINT FOR MY OWN GOOD

@MartinSojka But eugh. Also I have wp installed so I don't want to mess around with that.

@fredley You should have made it so, that friday, every posted link is rewritten to a link to friday.

@5pike Oh God that would be epic.

@fredley Having wp installled on your own server is reason for burnination!

2

9:04 AM

@Arperum Why? It's a pretty solid blogging platform.

It may be evil, but at least it blogs

@5pike I want tot star this, but want to alert too many people of this, so this can still be pulled off.

@Arperum Yeah, keep it down.

WP is fine as long as you don't go overboard with plugins.

@fredley True, as long as you use it for a blog only, and not for creating fucking mostly static websites.

I also really need to get to using command line file rename tools. this is annoying.

@Arperum No, I use it as intended, with no plugins besides akismet

I am a wp purist

@Arperum Yes, you do

9:08 AM

@kalina was probably part of making the menu for this game

@3ventic Yes, and how do you dare posting a youtube link on a day like this, I nearly didn't click for expecting alternative friday videos.

@Arperum A day like this?

this channel is full of asshats

you're all going to some special kind of hell

especially you, @fredley

@kalina Noticed that ages ago.

@kalina Eh?

@3ventic sigh

9:16 AM

where you'll be forced to write html on an azerty keyboard in notepad for the rest of your life

@kalina Been there, done that

Maybe I'm already in hell?

maybe

@kalina Never D:

maybe you're trying to share your hell with us through Rebecca Black videos

@kalina Doing that on a regular base.

9:17 AM

@Arperum notepad++ doesn't count

oh no, I mean notepad

@Arperum Why would you have windows phone installed on your server..?

oh

apparently Bryan Cranston was taught to cook meth by the DEA before he starred in Breaking Bad

@kalina Not quite

"We were taught how to make meth (by) DEA chemists who were our consultants on the show. We didn’t cook it, but we were told exactly the process at that high level."

10:00 AM

@kalina high level == not very detailed

Told how to make is not the same as taught how to make

@fredley when asked "did you cook meth"

he dodges the question

and doesn't say no

which means "yes"

@kalina obvious pr ploy is obvious

Of course he didn't cook meth

of course he did

@tombull89 Oh my GOD

Of course he didn't

10:01 AM

anyway I now have a full list of detailed steps on how to cook meth

@kalina This is not hard to obtain

so if the news reports on a meth lab explosion in Yorkshire

yeah, I might not be alive anymore

unlike methalamene.

@kalina OMG LOCATION INFORMATION

@fredley Yorkshire is a big place!

full of... trees

@kalina With very few people in!

10:03 AM

just because you're used to being packed into a tube like sardines doesn't mean that Yorkshire is low population

I really want instructions for MDMA

@kalina You just resent that I'm in London and you're not

at least I'd actually use that finished product

@fredley I will be in London on Monday

There is a Greggs so close I can almost reach it with my tongue

I do not resent being stuffed into such a crowded place

@kalina I look forward to your hatred and resentment

10:04 AM

@fredley My breakfast is delivered to me

and should be here within the next 5-10 minutes

which is good

@kalina I had mine...4 hours ago

It's now time for mid-morning-fast

Q: How to find out which weapon is better?

So I started playing Nethack. But I wonder: How can I see which weapon is better if equipped? For armor, I can at least switch it and look how the "AC" indicator changes.

@fredley The site is freaking SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

Goddammit I backed it

@5pike It's top of HN at the moment

$50,484
pledged of $15,000 goal

I'd say that was successful.

I like gamedevs... but sometimes!! Who thinks that cinematics before bosses are great? I do... but AT EACH TRY!? Com'on!

@M'vy Cinematics are more important than gameplay

10:23 AM

@M'vy No skip? They should die

the best games in the world are the games that only let you walk between cinematics

And skip is : ESC > Arrow > enter...

@kalina Cinematics are awful

CIMEMATICS ARE THE BEST

Especially cinematics that are rendered at a far higher resolution than the game you're playing

It's not immersion breaking at all

Nope. If I wanted cinematics I'd have gone to the fucking cinema.

10:24 AM

It's the best way to do it

So ok I get it, it's really cool to have the cinematic to introduce the game and so on. It really enrich the game BTW, but this is f**** ridiculous after x try

@fredley Why are you taking what is obviously a dislike of cinematics as though I love them?

@M'vy solution: stop being bad at boss fights

you're not playing Deus Ex Human Revolution per chance?

@kalina Why are you taking what is obviously a love of cinematics as though I hate them?

that game had cinematics down to a fine art

well it happens when you have less than 15% HP before the autosave

10:26 AM

as you walk into a room that has a boss in it, and all the doors close behind you, and you realise that your pacifist run through has resulted in you having a tranquilliser rifle, which doesn't even scratch the guy's armour even when you SHOOT HIM IN THE FACE

@kalina I did, but it's not this game I am on now. But I think DE also have this cinematic effect

@kalina yeah... playing ghost is pretty annoying when trying to fight bosses in DE

Mass Effect 1 kind of suffered from the cinematic thing, except it was with unskippable conversations instead

whole first half of the game consisted of walking between conversations

I also never finished Alpha Protocol for this reason.

NO

FUCK OFF ASHLEY

I DONT WANT YOU ON MY TEAM

GO AWAY

no such thing as friendly fire

You go all silent, discreet and all... then you get caught in a non skippable story section where all the guys now where you are... no armour, grenade barrages... unlimited grenades

seriously

10:28 AM

The first boss in DEHR wasn't too bad, since you could use the environment to kill him

but by the time you got to the 3rd or 4th boss it was stupid

especially Yelena

that was stupid

The skeleton one, I had hard time the first campaign

Yelena actually made me ragequit my hardest difficulty playthrough

I never ragequit games

Lost Planet 2 made me ragequit a few times.

you die? RESTART THE LEVEL NO CHECKPOINTS FOR YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

doing it co-op? you die? no respawning on other player RESTART TEH LEVELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.

BTW I'm playing castlevania lords of shadow just right now. Kinda frustrating for a new starter

But the game's actually very cool. Nice story, interesting mechanics. But you have to be a jedi to correctly use the block function, between synchronised block, unblockable attacks... Am I too old for this shit?

@M'vy Maybe, how old are you?

10:35 AM

use a frame rate limiter, limit it to a frame per second

@kalina I'm not that desperate

well, two frames per second then

@kalina I meant for using a frame limiter (whenever this really exists)

@M'vy sure it does, run it through dosbox or similar, reduce cpu frequency

I can spell!

I PROMISE YOU I CAN!

:)

10:43 AM

November 23rd!

EVERYPONY THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUCEMENT: Saturday the 23rd of November.

@M'vy hello, my dear khajiit friend :)

@kalina uhhoh, what's on november the 23rd?

@KevinvanderVelden My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, season 4

@kalina aah ok

@spyder hey

10:47 AM

@kalina also, far more important: DOCTOR WHO :D

nobody cares about Dr Who

@kalina get out

@tombull89 no you

@kalina But who cares about doctor who

@kalina it's the 50 year anniversary episode!

10:48 AM

@kalina I watched previous seasons ~6 times.

LpSamuelm

@kalina Well, you're elitist.

@LpSamuelm this is a bit random

@KevinvanderVelden ...so?

@spyder me too!

LpSamuelm

@kalina Your face is... what?

@KevinvanderVelden I'll watch this fo-sho but as for the new doctor...eh.

@LpSamuelm EXACTLY!

10:48 AM

@kalina I don't see any 50 year MLP anniversary happening yet =p

@KevinvanderVelden It's not hard to get to 50 years when you take half of them off

LpSamuelm

@kalina I found no randomness.

@kalina true

@Yuki I've done this before.

I'm such a jerk.

@Wipqozn that's so much fun :)

10:53 AM

@Fluttershy Yeah, DS9 has always been something of a "love it or hate it" thing among Trek fans. I love it myself, and it's my favourite Trek. Hence why I own the entire series on DVD.

I didn't understand DS9 at all

it just seemed too slow

Wipqozn

@MichaelDunfield I like the Music.

best star trek is first contact

Trent Hawkins

11:16 AM

@Wipqozn I... like the latter half of DS9. Although Quark and Garak make the first half watchable.

@kalina It's a series. You can't just let them win a war in 90 minutes if you're hoping for a multi-season run.

sure you can

"have more wars"

I have had lunch and cake, isnt it soon time to call it a day and go home for weekend?

@Blem You already had cake - no weekend for you.

@kalina Replacing "monster of the week" with "war of the week"? Booooring.

11:24 AM

@MartinSojka no more boring than long story arcs that are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW that I can skip entire episodes and not miss out on anything

@5pike we always get cake at work on fridays

Trent Hawkins

Frankly the war, long as it was, was considerably more entertaining than most everything before the war.

@kalina That's a problem with episode writers who aren't J. Michael Straczynski, not the format.
