3:00 PM
Actually, as well as little variation between the games, there's also very little variation within each one.
 
@Sterno They distil games down to their purest form - press a button, make a number go up, feel good about it
 
@GnomeSlice It amuses me that "over 29 different weapons!" is a selling point
 
@Sterno What's wrong with that?
 
@PrivatePansy And it does feel good.
 
@GnomeSlice Why should I be impressed by the number 29?
 
3:01 PM
Dammit! I want to play Uplink again.
 
@Sterno It's free.
 
I mean, it could say 400, and I still wouldn't care. it's just such a weird way to try to sell a game
 
@Sterno You're weird.
 
Yes, but that is irrelevant.
 
@Sterno A number is more solid than simply stating "we have a wide range of weapons to appeal to every gameplay style"
 
3:02 PM
@PrivatePansy Except that latter one actually gives me info why I'd care.
I've seen games claim "over 100 enemies" and it's more like 20 enemies with 5 different color palettes
 
Also, humans respond to big numbers emotionally
 
The emotion I'm feeling is depression.
And confusion.
And hunger. Is hunger an emotion? Well, it is now.
 
Robots respond to numbers too.
 
Hah! I downloaded uplink in literally 2 seconds.
 
@OrigamiRobot It has already been firmly established that you are both boring and useless.
 
3:04 PM
Did I say something to indicate the contrary?
 
@OrigamiRobot Don't they also respond to numbers with numbers?
 
@OrigamiRobot 61
 
I don't know, I'm pretty lazy and unresponsive in general.
 
@OrigamiRobot has stopped responding. Abort/Retry/Fail?
 
Ban
 
3:07 PM
Ignore

@Lazers It hurts. It hurts so bad.
 
@Lazers do indeed hurt.
 
3:10 PM
 
@Lazers Bleh, that was rough to get through.
 
Anyways, it should be much more coherent now.
 
@fbueckert was it a save file he was talking about?
 
Although, if he posts something else close to that, I'm not gonna bother trying to fix. Just burn it.
@TZHX He just said storage data.
 
3:12 PM
@Krazer Hexadecimal > Megabyte
4
 
I have no idea what he was trying to transfer.
 
@OrigamiRobot Starred for truth.
 
Gigabyte was cool too.
 
What are these amazingly 90s CGI renders?
 
3:14 PM
@BenBrocka Reboot!
 
ReBoot is a Canadian CGI-animated action-adventure cartoon series that originally aired from 1994 to 2001. It was produced by Vancouver-based production company Mainframe Entertainment, Alliance Communications, BLT Productions and created by Gavin Blair, Ian Pearson, Phil Mitchell and John Grace, with the visuals designed by Brendan McCarthy after an initial attempt by Ian Gibson. It was the first half-hour, completely computer-animated TV series. Background According to staff in Fast Forward: The Making of ReBoot, the process to create ReBoot began in the 1980s, but, although the idea ...
 
Didn't she keep a Null as a pet?
 
Yup.
 
So crazy.
 
3:16 PM
I used to have a toy Megabyte that shot discs
it was the sickest thing
 
Actually, her pet was Scuzzy. He wasn't a null. Hex could control nulls, though.
 
@OrigamiRobot WHAT
 
Ah, that's right.
 
SCSI was a great name. Terrible port
 
3:20 PM
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE
especially @OrigamiRobot. I know he loves mornings.
 
@Lazers Ow. Reading the comments/edit history on that was a mistake
 
13 mins ago, by fbueckert
Although, if he posts something else close to that, I'm not gonna bother trying to fix. Just burn it.
 
@fbueckert I fully support this plan
 
I am so sleepy. :(

Q: Are technical-issue questions about handheld games acceptable?

The UglyI have a question about why both my pokemon x game and pokemon y game will no longer allow me to connect to my router (for both the wonder gift torchic and for GTS), but I am not sure if technical-issues can apply to problems with routers, or with handhelds, because it seems to mostly be about ac...

 
@Krazer I can do neither of these things whilst at work.
 
Well damn, plans for Iji ports have fallen through.
 
Huh, I never saw season 4 of Reboot. I thought it ended after 3 seasons.

Q: Is it possible for a failed mod install to corrupt a world that is not opened?

The UglyI know that if I either install a mod incorrectly or install a broken mod, it can corrupt my save data. However, is this corruption limited to any saves that I access, or can it occur in a world file that I don't even open with the mod installed? I would like to know this because I tend to be a ...

 
@Metool They should probably make banned users stand out more. Like, replace "Not anymore" with "BANNED"
 
why'd they get banned?
 
@Unionhawk red text
 
@kalina Yes, that too.
 
3:46 PM
Indian Restaurant, why do you take your delicious dishes and bland them out to be unappetizing for the lunch buffet? And why do I keep hoping you'll change?
 
@Metool stuff like that makes me sad that Flash and Java, previously "cross platform" programming methods, really never panned out to something that performs well enough to be in general use
 
...it's almost noon and I have yet to put pants on. What am I doing with my life?
5
 
Sounds pretty successful to me
 
@Unionhawk Living the dream.
 
@BenBrocka I concur. I usually have to put on pants 5 minutes after getting up. This is a situation I wish to improve on.
 
3:50 PM
Pants are the worst.
 
@OrigamiRobot Do robots even wear pants?
 
Robot pants.
 
I see
Of course.
 
On a good weekend, I don't put pants on at all.
 
@Fluttershy lunch nap~
 
3:53 PM
The biggest drawback to having a kid is needing to wear pants.
 
@BenBrocka too many features, bad scaling
 
@Unionhawk I spent all last weekend changing from one pair of pyjamas to the next
3 days, 3 pairs of pyjamas, didn't "get dressed" once
 
@Sterno What does that have to do with anything?
 
@OrigamiRobot I'd rather not traumatize my daughter.
 
he means he has monkey legs
 
3:55 PM
I don't know what "monkey legs" are.
 
I remember my dad wearing tighty whities around the house sometimes. Ain't repeating that mistake.
 
@Sterno Seeing as how she should be caring for you in your decrepitude, yeah, keeping them relatively sane and not scared of dad is usually a good thing.
 
@Sterno Bathrobes
 
@OrigamiRobot Worse than pants
 
@OrigamiRobot super hairy legs
 
3:56 PM
@Sterno wat
 
30 secs ago, by Sterno
@OrigamiRobot Worse than pants
 
...I have to often wonder why there's so much aversion to pants.
 
@GraceNote They're like leg prisons.
 
@OrigamiRobot this is a little bit extreme
 
LEG PRISONS
 
3:57 PM
@OrigamiRobot Do you not have comfortable, loose wear to have in the house?
 
MELODRAMA
 
@GraceNote I like pants.
 
I've never once thought "oh god, I really need to take my 'pants' off"
 
@GraceNote I do. I call them "shorts".
 
Pants are humans' punishment for original sin
 
3:57 PM
@GraceNote Like what?
 
@kalina ... never once?
 
@Sterno not once
 
It means my crazy muscular legs don't get undue attention.
 
Just... anything of soft or light material. Or the many many options that don't constrict anywhere outside of the waist and pelvic area.
 
You must be doing it wrong.
 
3:58 PM
@fbueckert wait, what...?
 
@fbueckert You have a roommate
 
@kalina Four years of dance practice really builds up leg muscle.
 
so you wear suits and have nice legs?
 
@OrigamiRobot And I'm very glad he wears pants, too.
 
@kalina These aren't mutually exclusive.
 
3:59 PM
@kalina Yeeees?
I'm not sure where you're going with that.
 
nothing
 
@fbueckert Nice legs are appreciable. Guys in suits are appreciable. Math is simple here.
 
@GraceNote That's too obvious. I discount obvious rationale like that.
 
I think that when it's come to you in a suit, @kalina's never been anything but obvious.
 
more people need to wear suits
 
4:01 PM
You didn't say "nice legs". You said "crazy muscular legs". There is a distinct difference, and I posit that it is impossible to have both at the same time.
 
Now, I just need a nice tailored suit.
@Sterno When compared to the average geek, they're one and the same, I'd think.
 
@Sterno I can tell you that nice, muscular legs can be very, very nice.

FAE
@kalina I'm fond of ladies in suits, m'self.
 
With my people-in-suits-fetish I obviously have several myself
I do prefer turning up to work in jeans and trainers though
 
4:05 PM
@Krazer ...I'm not sure how to feel about the fact I already had that image sent to me in the other corner of the internet.
 
FAE
@kalina Here, have this. It's SFW, despite what the URL may lead you to think.
 
NO
I have no spare time today
don't do it
 
Woah. Chrisopher Whatshisname has hair.
 
FAE
@kalina Well, it's nice, when you have time someday. It also posts older photo like from the 50s and stuff.

Q: How can I resolve a 3DS networking issue?

The UglyI can't seem to connect my pokemon x game to my network, even though I have tried using both my guest network and my secure network. Both of them are WPA secured (I believe, I can't check right now, but will as soon as possible), but I was able to connect and receive the Torchic promo gift on my ...

@ZeroStack casual effort
 
@Krazer Same imgur URL, no less. Fancy that.
 
@kalina lol Idk how to make it any clearer than that. ms paint ftw?
 
@ZeroStack gaming.stackexchange.com/a/108926/52800 more screenshots and more text!
 
4:11 PM
@kalina Oh my! Its so beautiful !
 
Question. This question the user has admitted to pirating the game. Is this a problem that legit users of the game could or would have?
 
iirc @fbueckert has an even larger one somewhere too
yes I was ambiguous, I was going to say answer, bite me
 
@kalina lol the other other post I included many pics into was this one: gaming.stackexchange.com/a/66660/18818
 
@ZeroStack Change the squares to freehand circles, for more upvotes.
 
@GraceNote we might be the same person :) or wave buddies
 
4:13 PM
@fbueckert Where did he admit pirating it?
 
@3ventic Check the comments on the answer.
Im sorry my installer of TL2 is pirated :( — Crixalis Paul 16 hours ago
 
@Unionhawk well i was using the spraypaint first, but then decided squares would be so much easier lol
 
@Krazer Naw, got it through Skype.
 
@fbueckert Ah, it was hidden
 
@fbueckert Yeah. It just means the answer that works might not work for him.
 
4:15 PM
 
@Sterno The funny bit is I think the answer is wrong; the installation instructions I found said to dump it somewhere else.
 
Try suggesting that dumping ground and if it works for him then we're all solid.
 
According to the installation instructions I can find, you need to dump it into the PAKS folder. — fbueckert yesterday
 
@GraceNote Should I bug you anymore about that one close reason text about in-canon sources needing changed, or should I stop?
 
@GraceNote Funny... I was just on Skype.
 
4:19 PM
@Krazer is Kaizer Soze.
 
There. Left an answer for where I found the instructions. Hopefully that can help more than just Mr. pirate.
 
@GnomeSlice What am I watching?
 
@Sterno murder
 
@Sterno New Magicite gif.
I'd like to see a crowdfunding page where the description box is just one HUGE gif

That axe looks difficult to wield.
Also, I just realized I use "axe" instead of "ax", which makes me a traitor to American English. :(

Q: Do I get full damage on my abilities if the animations fall behind the activations?

Oblivious SageI have a Sith Sorcerer, and I've noticed that if I activate Force Lightning immediately after casting Lightning Strike (as soon as the casting bar fills but before the actual animation completes), I can get almost halfway through the cast bar before the actual animation starts (because it's still...

 
@Sterno Animation seems to (somewhat) properly express it's weight though
Reminds me of the Great Knife from SH2
 
> New animations! Everything has a heavier feel to it now. Poor slime...
@BenBrocka seems like that was the plan
This looks interesting ^
 
@Sterno Wait, wait, wait... Ax is a real word? WAT IT IS

WTF AMERICAN ENGLISH?

Q: Practical Solution For Giant Spike Balls

ZibbobzThe dungeon has giant swinging spike balls that cause no end of frustration to explorers such as myself. They dare to keep bold, intrepid, totally-not-thieving adventurers out of the depths with their inability to be destroyed!...Or do they? I have tried removing the block that they rest on to ...

 
Hm. I should probably put pants on and get food. Yeah...
 
@Unionhawk It's like English English but with more bald eagles n' explosions n' shit

WoW bot maker gets sued for $7 million, and now wants people to help them pay it off
 
4:33 PM
@Unionhawk I guess it does what annoys me with all those extra "u"s and whatnot... adds in completely unnecessary letters. There's no terribly compelling reason that it should be "axe" instead of "ax"
 
I hate silent letters and such
 
@Sterno Because ax is STUPID. Axe is very clearly a word, ax makes me look twice at it like "wait, that's a word?"
 
@Unionhawk This is why I propose a new standard of spelling, referred to as "Sterno English".
Basically, however I spell something is correct, and the rest of you can suck it.
 
@Unionhawk Only because you're not used to it. It's no more unusual than "an"
ane
 
@Sterno I will agree with this until our spellings no longer match. Then it's on.
 
4:37 PM
@fbueckert Pajamas or Pyjamas?
 
@Sterno Unfortunately, many people posting on the site subscribe to this theory.
 
@JasonBerkan But I'm right, and they can suck it.
 
@Sterno I usually agree with you as far as the English language goes, so sounds good to me

Well, now I have to back that Kickstarter.
 
@GraceNote That image (and that URL) is number one on /r/pics right now, so that might explain it.
 
4:42 PM
@Sterno I was going to make an old joke, but I'll wait until tomorrow so I can say I stopped for 24 hours out of respect for you making me room owner again.
 
I want 48 hours now!
 
I'll do you one better, 72 hours!

Q: Pygame, Python 2.7, AttributeError: type object 'newPlayer' has no attribute 'rect', but I declared a rect attribute

4:44 PM
@Wipqozn don't be too hasty, 71 hours is plenty, for sufficient levels of guilt
 
Did I just flag that?
No. Okay.
I starred that message and it went all blue
 
@Sterno I don't know anyone who uses 'ax'
 
@OrigamiRobot That's because it is clearly incorrect, as deemed by Sterno.
Maybe it's because we're gamers and RPGs tend to use "axe".
 
@OrigamiRobot Apparently it's an american english thing, but it's a STUPID american english thing.
 
ax looks sooo wrong
 
4:46 PM
ax the ax
 
Americans are lazy ... Always leaving out characters left and right.

@OrigamiRobot Skydrift makes out with her giraffe in the middle of the night.
 
Yay!
 
MEETINGS ARE OVER
 
@OrigamiRobot ?
 
OH GOD
 
@Sterno Isn't your daughter named Skydrift?
 
4:50 PM
I understand what I said and what it meant. I'm not sure why @OrigamiRobot is quoting it.
 
MEETINGS ALL DAY NON STOP
 
Because it's funny and I found it again via your quote.
 
@GnomeSlice So all this time you've been telling us to buy @Sterno's daughter?
I wasn't aware @Sterno's children were for sale.
 
@Wipqozn No. The game.
 
@GnomeSlice What game?
 
4:52 PM
What daughter?
 
@fredley Skydrift.
 
@Wipqozn Skydrift has a daughter?
 
Where am I?
 
I still think that giraffe looks a bit like a demon head.
 
4:52 PM
@GnomeSlice Sounds familiar. Have you mentioned it before?
 
Yes.
 
@Sterno That thing is straight out of hell.
@fredley No, skydraft is the name of the daughter, @Sterno is the father.
 
@Sterno Your daughter has a game named after her? That's awesome!
 
I need to find a picture of a friend who like to wear a fake unicorn head. The thing is terrifying.
 
@Sterno Pajamas, obviously.
 
4:54 PM
@fbueckert Damn. That's 8 things we agree on, now. This is terrible.

I don't know how that child isn't terrified.
 
@Wipqozn @Sterno and SkyDrift had a love child?
 
@Sterno I don't know either, but I am.
 
@Sterno Neither do I.
 
@Sterno That's fantastic.
@fredley No, Sk- man, you're so slow today.
 
@Sterno Rainbows and unicorns. What's terrifying about that?
 
4:56 PM
 
She has a new unicorn photo every few weeks and every time it freaks me out.

@Krazer Hexadecimal > Megabyte
That is correct @OrigamiRobot.
 
Leave @Wipqozn alone!
 
@fredley I prefer @OrigamiRobot's one. This one is just a little too fast and bright.

@Unionhawk Now I have to get a turtle, just so my kitten can do that.

Okay, now that's terrifying.
 
@Sterno wtf
 
@Wipqozn You're a little too fast and bright
 
Which also means I need to star it for others to see.
