Q: What is a good way to harrass Bloodseeker in the middle lane?

Bloodseeker is a pain in the arse to lane against, because of his passive health regeneration whenever he last hits or denies a creep. I cannot harrass him for too long before getting out of sight, because his Q deals decent DOT damage early game, and his ultimate has significant burst damage. Af...

Q: Is the hours played statistic slowly decreasing for The Stanley Parable?

I was looking at my "hours played" metric for The Stanley Parable, and I could swear that over the last few days it has gone down a few hours from the actual total time I have been playing the game. Is this happening, for real? Or am I just delusional?

@GnomeSlice why are you putting this here

@AshleyNunn Have you not heard of this guy?

user15026

Should I have?

He's an indie developer who got noticed when he got fired for making a game where he expressed all his negative emotions about his job

I get this call every day is the game.

Pretty crappy deal.

Also Ben is all about the twitters

@GnomeSlice ?

12:34 AM

@BenBrocka The twitter thing I just posted.

well, Orbital rendez-vous is not for tonight it seems. Good bye bridgers

Hi Chat.

I has a shiny new cellular telephonomatic dee-vyse.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz oooooh

Contrast is out on Steam

Oh, no. This box sounds like it may contain a cat. With sharp claws.

user15026

12:45 AM

@Coronus You never know.....

@AshleyNunn You know nothing pulls me away from my job entertaining the beggar-king for rats on strings better then the possibility of a cat in a box.

Lots of reject edits going on for me.

user15026

@Coronus It's the whole anticipation of what might be.....

HI PEOPLES

@GnomeSlice @bumpkinbros @Game_Stick we may have some Game Stick related news soon anyway!

Q: ZvP: Gateway aggro -> pheonix -> robo deathball: What went wrong?

I'm a platinum zerg having trouble dealing with protoss lategame. Previously I always did Stephano's 12:00 roach max, which worked most of the time, but now I want to learn to play standard. So now I'm at an impasse here with the protoss deathball. I just can't beat it. I think my scouting may b...

Q: how do you wear stuff without going in my inventory

I wonder how to wear stuff without looking in my inventory because in PvP I lose quickly and I do not like it. In some servers they have points I have 1 point.

@AshleyNunn You sent me a wrapped sorrow-spider!

user15026

@Coronus Lucky you!

Beatbuddy for Steam is 75% off on GamersGate

@AshleyNunn A game you may be really interested in is on for stupid cheap right now too. Plush

For some reason, I have a feeling this is something you'll enjoy @AshleyNunn

Q: Is there a chart of what items can be converted into what?

In Fallen London, there are a wide variety of currency-like items (indeed, it's part of the metaplot). Most of these can be converted into something else: many Whispered Secrets can be converted into a smaller number Cryptic Clues, which can become an even smaller number of Appalling Secrets, whi...

Yay train delays.

@StrixVaria :(

@AshleyNunn thought so

It was only like 15 minutes on the way home.

Also, maybe CC @spugsley ??

1:23 AM

But I still have never gotten a train from NY Penn station on time.

Q: Red Dead Redemption 2?

I've heard some rumours regarding a sequel to the Rockstar Game Red Dead Redemption but there are no definitive answers to this question on the web... Anyone know if Rockstar are planning another western GTA or not?? Thanks

red-dead-redemption

Alright, it is decided. Next GM chat enhancement is going to be the ability to alias people's usernames

NY IN FOUR DAYS!!!!!! YAY!

@spugsley What are you doing in NY?

@StrixVaria visiting family, shopping, then Atlantic City for 2 days

oh and Saratoga

gambling. And shopping. And family.

1:28 AM

Saratoga isn't close to the city :(

That sounds fun, though.

@StrixVaria nope. I won't be anywhere near NYC. I'll be upstate :) That's where my family's from

My grandparents live in upstate NY.

I've been there way more than the city (soon to not be true any more).

I live not that far from AC, though.

user15026

@spugsley I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU

@StrixVaria why :o

@spugsley Because I work in NYC now.

1:32 AM

@Lazers Close!

@StrixVaria Ah ok :) Didn't realize that's where it was

@spugsley It's going to take a while for me to get used to going there every day.

user15026

@StrixVaria very awesome.

@OrigamiRobot Sorry I was at Google when he posted that.

... you know, 13 year old me would be so proud right now

@StrixVaria How was that?

@OrigamiRobot First day was non-role-specific orientation.

1:51 AM

@StrixVaria Google knows everything. Why didn't you see it there?

@StrixVaria To be expected I suppose. Was everyone friendly or robots?

@OrigamiRobot Friendly.

The bagel place I stopped in to get a sandwich this morning in the city didn't have pork roll. CC @LessPop_MoreFizz

LessPop_MoreFizz

@StrixVaria Ugh. Jersey people and their goddamned pork roll.

It's so good.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@StrixVaria Why can't you be satisfied making your breakfast sandwiches with simple straightforward, delicious, crispy, bacon?

1:55 AM

I wound up getting bacon today. It was fine.

It was no pork roll, but it was still fine.

Q: What are the recommended specs for Minecraft?

I tried starting up a new world of Minecraft today, and found much to my displeasure that something as simple as breaking a tree, on a single-player world, would run into glitchy, laggy, unplayable problems. My computer is...rather old. It has a AMD Athlon II 620 Quad-Core processor, a Nvidia...

2:11 AM

POTATOES CAN POISON YOU

why is the world so scary?

They can also power lightbulbs or evil AIs

@spugsley They won't as long as you remove the eyes properly

user15026

What is pork roll?

@PrivatePansy it's not just the eyes. Apparently, the skin can be poisonous too.

the poison is part of the Nightshade family

thank you, Elder Scrolls, for teaching me about Nightshade

user4704

@spugsley It's part of this complete breakfast.

2:19 AM

Pork roll is a type of breakfast meat commonly available in and around New Jersey and select areas of Philadelphia. The product, as it is made today, was developed in 1856 by John Taylor of Trenton, New Jersey, though several firms produce their own versions. Origin and description A similar product, packed minced ham, may have been produced at the time of the Battle of Trenton. Taylor kept the recipe for the product he created in 1856 secret. George Washington Case, a farmer and butcher from nearby Belle Mead, New Jersey, created his own recipe for pork roll in 1870. Case's was re...

Apparently it's... ham that's so different that it deserves its own name? I couldn't tell you.

@Unionhawk It is not even similar to ham.

user4704

It's processed, no?

I don't know how it's made.

Only that it's delicious.

Okay, apparently it's just a thing that allegedly is related to pork.

Is it like bologna?

2:21 AM

It's salty.

It's not really similar to bologna either.

user4704

Reminds me of scrapple.

user4704

Except made of parts that some people will find less objectionable.

user4704

(I love scrapple.)

Guys. I need a job.

@spugsley come to Seattle

2:23 AM

@spugsley :(

We don't really need the money but I'm bored. So I don't want to take a job that I will hate just to say "I have a job". I'm whiny. Don't listen to me.

I need to sleep so that I can wake up in time to catch the train again.

@spugsley But I always listen to beautiful ladies when they talk to me

Also, come to Seattle :)

2:26 AM

@GnomeSlice headdesk

Also, do more picturey thingies

@GnomeSlice I'm too short. There are some rules in NC

@spugsley Lmao is that seriously a requirement for law enforcement.

Also I wasn't actually being serious

@spugsley ... really

Become a photographer

;]

2:26 AM

I know! Bother @OrigamiRob!

@Ktash yea there are certain rules about being able to shoot a gun over a vehicle, etc etc

hahaha

can you jump for it?

@GnomeSlice yeah, the problem is that doesn't really make any money at all. In fact, it wastes money :/

@Ktash lol jumping and shooting a gun seems like a bad idea

..............................................................

@spugsley Nah, it's totally a thing

ARIAL

Okay I'm going to bed.

...soon

...Is that one of those things I shouldn't have posted?

@GnomeSlice I'm gonna say probably

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GnomeSlice I kinda want to say it's almost there, if only for the choice of figure for Ariel Black...

though I admit I laughed at Italic.

@LessPop_MoreFizz that was my thought.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Also, normal Ariel is pretty damned bold on her own IIRC, though it's been like... 15 years since I've seen the movie, so who knows.

2:36 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz It's because Black fonts are like even bolder than bold.

user image

they should have used arial

user15026

@GnomeSlice Yeah, I just find this uncomfortable all over the place

I guess it's funnier if you are into typography

@GnomeSlice no :/ I don't think that really has anything to do with it. Not in this case.

Q: Can I change the default radio station?

grand-theft-auto-5 gta-online

2:44 AM

Is drawing fat versions of well-known characters offensive? Sorry...

@GnomeSlice No. You're missing the point. Changing the race of a well known character and then making her larger is offensive

@spugsley I don't understand...

@GnomeSlice I can't make it any clearer than that. Help @LessPop_MoreFizz or @AshleyNunn ?

It's because 'black' fonts are the thickest, boldest variants.

So they had to make her fat.

user15026

@GnomeSlice ...............

2:46 AM

Otherwise the reference wouldn't make sense.

user15026

Okay, gonna try to like not angermash my keyboard

user15026

Nah, I am going to have to step out of this one unfortunately. Too many of my attempts to explain stuff like this just ends in me feeling crappy and honestly, tonight I just can't be bothered to remotely try. That might make me terrible.

@GnomeSlice and you don't see how this may be taken offensively, like a comment on all women of color?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GnomeSlice There is a very strong, negative stereotype about fat black women.

@AshleyNunn sorry. Didn't mean to get you involved :) My fault

2:48 AM

@spugsley No? Because it's about the font...

@LessPop_MoreFizz What? Really?

user15026

@spugsley No worries

Okay.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Like, I get that it works on a level that doesn't read that into it at all, but ignorance of subtext doesn't erase subtext.

@GnomeSlice I know. But others might not see it that way.

@LessPop_MoreFizz this. Yes.

@spugsley Then I guess it's only not offensive if you're into typography

And/or ignorant

Like me

@LessPop_MoreFizz So I should add 'fat black women' to my list of Things Not to Joke About?

user15026

2:49 AM

@GnomeSlice Even then......

user15026

@GnomeSlice In general people are not joke fodder.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GnomeSlice Do you even need to ask?

@AshleyNunn I didn't find it offensive.

@GnomeSlice if you are a larger woman into typography, it might offend you. So no, this is wrong.

user15026

@GnomeSlice I understand that.

user15026

2:50 AM

but other people, like me, do.

I still don't get it, but okay.

They weren't making fun of larger people, as far as I can tell.

are you able to remove it still @GnomeSlice ?

No.

It's scrolled way up anyway

@GnomeSlice they are though. They are saying that fat is bold. And they gave her a silly crazy face for no reason other than her weight has changed.

it's subtle, but still offensive

user15026

@spugsley oh man don't even get me started on the face

2:51 AM

@spugsley Had to get the other chin in there.

user15026

@GnomeSlice Totaly are.

I didn't even notice the face, lol.

user15026

@GnomeSlice .....fucking hell.

@GnomeSlice stop. No. We were being civil until now.

??

user15026

2:52 AM

Your perceptions of women is.....not so good.

@GnomeSlice if you don't see something wrong with this statement, then there's no helping you see the problem with the image to begin with.

@AshleyNunn I don't even know how to respond to that. You don't know what my perception of women is like. And I don't really want to get into an argument about it either.

@spugsley Sorry.

Oh, I know why they changed the face. It's because the redrew it from scratch.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GnomeSlice Actually, you've done a pretty good job of communicating what your perception of women is like.

Even the rock is different.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Screw you.

LessPop_MoreFizz

:11800211 Sometimes the truth hurts buddy. I'm being honest here because I honestly believe that you have the capacity to be a better human being. And the first step to that is self awareness.

Which, you're starting to get some of.

2:55 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz I am not a bad human being.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GnomeSlice I didn't say you were.

I'm nicer than most of the people in here

@GnomeSlice nope, not at all. But everyone can be better

LessPop_MoreFizz

I said you have the capacity to be better.

we all have things that we can improve on

user15026

2:55 AM

@GnomeSlice You totally aren't.

Q: The Stanley Parable Demo won't load?

I just downloaded The Stanley Parable Demo from Steam ... Everything was running fine until I clicked Start Game, after that, a loading screen came up and it took me to a black page and wouldn't change... I don't know what is wrong. Please help!

steam the-stanley-parable

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GnomeSlice I'm not talking about whether you're nice or friendly. I happen to agree that you are both of those things.

But you've also internalized all sorts of nasty societal shit that comes with being a Child Of The Internet that hasn't been exposed to the sort of ideas that allow you to think critically about that nasty societal shit, and maybe understand what it is, and where it is, and how you might be participating it and whether you might want to maybe reject it.

I know because a decade ago, I was in the same boat and said all sorts of things I regret and made all kinds of dumb jokes that probably weren't very funny, but certainly probably were pretty racist or sexist or hurtful to somebody, and I learned, over many years that that shit isn't cool.

user15026

So like we are all trying to help, honestly, but sometimes we are also trying to help while being hurt.

@GnomeSlice @badp is on the wrong side of the list.
