@Sterno It could be worse. You could be watching Wonder Pets.
WHAT'S GONNA WORK? TEEEEEEEAM WORK.
 
BLAM this piece of crap!
 
@OrigamiRobot Did you ever get any definite "yes" from people regarding Fiasco?
 
I hate that stupid duck's lisp.
 
So, I wonder if Valve is going to have a patch to fix the server crash issues from yesterday's update
 
5:01 PM
@Wipqozn @RedRiderX and @AshleyNunn seemed interested.
 
I'm hearing that the high-five taunt can crash things
 
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA‌​AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA‌​AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa
...
 
I mostly just leave Disney Jr on here. The only show I truly hate on it is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
 
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA‌​AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA‌​AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA‌​AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

5:01 PM
@OrigamiRobot So with you and I that's four people.
 
Also, I start work on Monday for my new job.
 
@OrigamiRobot When does DST end? That moves me an hour closer to your time.
 
@JasonBerkan This weekend.
 
The good news though is that Valve has finally settled the age old question and the best pony is Pinky Pi. And the issue was settled forever.

5:04 PM
@Wipqozn Grats, btw.
 
@JasonBerkan I've asked this question to many folks in the past two months and somehow I'd never gotten a straight answer.
 
@OrigamiRobot Thank you sir.
 
Further attempts to bring the issue up again will be dealt with utmost vengeance through application of force through feet!
 
and congratulations to you mister robot for just being so darn fancy.
 
@GraceNote It varies by country, does it not? I've never observed DST, so the dates are fairly irrelevant to me (except that all the TV shows shift by an hour).
 
5:06 PM
@JasonBerkan Yes it does, it was last weekend over here.
 
@JasonBerkan Most people I ask are in my time zone.
 
@GraceNote Then you'd probably expect a consistent answer.
 
@JasonBerkan I did. I never got one.
 
@JasonBerkan This weekend.
 
Oh hey, I forgot to check what the new look for the Gibus is in TF2 this year
 
5:07 PM
@GraceNote It's this Sunday morning.
 
If it's this weekend, that's fantastic since I'll be changing time zones to where it's irrelevant, so then from that point I miss the shift entirely and deal instead with jetlag.
 
And the clock moves backward an hour, making your weekend seem one hour longer!
And I guess making it one hour longer in actuality too.
 
@Sterno Just means I have to get up that much earlier on Sunday. Boo.
 
@Sterno It isn't. It's an hour you forgot back in the Spring months. You gain nothing.
 
Or wait...no, I get an extra hour of sleep.
Ok, that's good.
 
5:10 PM
@GraceNote This weekend is longer. A weekend in six months is shorter.
 
@GraceNote no. Don't take this away from me.
I want that hour. I need that hour.
 
@GraceNote Do you still remember about that hour?
between a Saturday and a Sunday, no less :)
 
@badp I remember it every day that I am missing it.
 
@GraceNote For an hour that didn't exist to begin with it must've been eventful
Now you must write a short story about a people that lives in the dimension afforded by the gaps DST creates, and how their continued existence in the time-space continuum is continuously threatened by DST haters.
 
Maybe that hour was just paying back the previous fall's extra hour, so this fall it's extra again!
Yay! Today is New Spiderweb Software RPG Day!
 
5:16 PM
@badp Sunday and Monday
 
@kalina um maybe. I don't remember
IT WAS LAST WEEK ALREADY
 
@badp I do, I was awake at the time
it was like time travel

Q: Fallout 3 Tank Build Tips and Explanation

phatskatMy wife and I have recently come back to Fallout 3 after doing New Vegas and taking a break from the wastes for some GTAV. On our previous run, we focused on mainly well-rounded, with a little more towards sneak and energy weapons. This time, though, we'd like to go with a brute-force tank appr...

 
@badp It's a net change of 0 at the end. That's why there is no gain.
 
@GraceNote The gain is the magnificent short story
 
5:17 PM
@GraceNote I don't know, the spring change feels like a loss
the autumn change just feels like satisfying sleep
 
On the bright side the fast forward in spring means that waiting for your bus at 6:50 no longer feels as shitty because the sky is no longer pitch black as you get out.
So you still gain something in your loss!
 
ho ho, I see what you did there

Q: What should I do when the Scale Warriors boss uses his shield?

Trevor BurnhamIn RockSmith 2014, there's a game called Scale Warriors. At the end of each level, you go up against a big red dude. Sometimes when I try to hit Big Red, he raises a shield to block the attack. Unlike the shield in Ducks Redux, this one does not seem to be affected by taking a series of hits. And...

 
@badp The downside is that if you work in the morning, instead of leaving when it's light out, you now get to drive in the dark again.
wtf is OpenVR and why does Steam on my laptop insist it be installed to run TF2?
 
5:25 PM
@kalina Saturday and Sunday.
 
It's the Occulus Rift control panel apparently, so... still why do I need it installed? :/
 
@Arperum Wednesday and Friday
 
@kalina Thursday and Tuesday.
 
@Arperum June and January
 
Monday and October.
 
5:27 PM
Angel and Cake
 
@kalina Oh, screw you.
 
@kalina Screw you.
 
at the same time?
you both are delusional

I HATE THE SPAM FILTER IN CHAT
5
 
5:29 PM
@GnomeSlice we love the spam filter
 
@GnomeSlice There's a spam filter in chat...?
 
Now I'm having conflicting mental images.
 
@Wipqozn If you keep typing messages it makes you wait
 
Since when?
@GnomeSlice Well, yes.
 
For those of you who liked Warcraft 3.
 
5:29 PM
@GnomeSlice this is what happens if you don't type nice long sentences
 
I've never found that to be more than a minor annoyance.
 
I'm typing out a crazy dream I had last night
 
so
speaking
like
this
is
not
 
cough
 
encouraged
 
5:29 PM
in another room
 
also the spam filter is shared between all of the rooms you're in
 
so by complaining about it in here, all you're doing is making your life harder
 
You made a room to blog your dream?
You're such a character.
 
So I want to move PC's, but I'm not allowed by Walda.
 
So close to the fourth row of most active users in chat.SE
SO CLOSE
 
@kalina How do you tell?
 
 
@Yuki Gordon never speaks. Link at least grunts and shouts.
@GraceNote Do you know if there's a way I can temporarily disable the spam countdown in a room I'm owner of?
 
5:38 PM
@GnomeSlice There isn't.
 
@GnomeSlice chat slower, in longer sentences
 
You could just write in full, coherent sentences or paragraphs ...
 
@kalina He's transcribing a long sequence.
 
@kalina No, then the writing style will change halfway through
 
@GraceNote longer sentences would result in the same effect as turning off the spam filter
 
5:38 PM
@GnomeSlice You replied to the wrong person.
 
@Wipqozn thenks
 
in that you'd never get limited due to spending several seconds between each message typing it out
 
it's possible
to type on
multiple lines
in the same
message
 
@kalina Huh. I'm not even on the first page.
 
@GnomeSlice you've been given your solution, deal with it
 
5:39 PM
I'm somewhat surprised by that.
 
@Wipqozn oooo how do
 
@GnomeSlice I think it's SHIFT+ENTER/RETURN
 
@fbueckert happens, if you sort by network reputation I'm on like page 45
 
@fbueckert Get at me
 
It's
magic
and
a secret
 
5:39 PM
absolutely ridiculous
 
@Wipqozn Also known as Shift+Enter.
 
shift+enter
lets you type
on multiple lines
in a single post
you should try it some time
it works really well
 
@fbueckert I wanted it to be a secret!

OH NO NOW LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE
YOU BASTARDS
 
5:40 PM
@kalina This.
 
@GnomeSlice Great....
 
@Wipqozn It's a pretty common feature of more or less any chat software, to my knowledge.
 
I wonder how much of my phone data I'm using up posting this stupid dream
Also it contains nudity
And spiderman
 
What good dream doesn't contain a nude Spider-Man?
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice Why don't you write this somewhere like on your phone or something that's not here?
 
5:42 PM
@FAE because
Then you guys can't read it
 
@FAE he's narcissistic
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice Some of that is not exactly appropriate for the site.
 
@GnomeSlice Relevant
 
we should go in there and flag everything that will get him banned
2
 
@FAE I... whoops.
 
5:44 PM
 
@Sterno hahahaha what
 
@GnomeSlice You have got to be kidding me ...
 
There's got to be a website out there dedicated exclusively to people posting their wacky acid trips.
 
oww, my brain
 
Seriously, what the hell?
 
FAE
5:46 PM
@Sterno Subforums on some sites, several subreddits.
 
I just peeked inside @GnomeSlice's brain and I feel like I've been mentally scarred
6
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice Some of that is very inappropriate to post on this network.
 
@kalina Peeked. Peaked would mean something entirely different.
 
@kalina You're lucky I don't post my dreams here. They get...strange...sometimes.
 
FAE
So... yeah, I dunno what you should do about that, but... yeah.
@Yuki Oh good lord.
 
5:47 PM
@FAE I could get someone to delete it maybe
 
@Yuki first of all, thanks for pointing that out. second of all... EWWWWWWWW. third of all, I hope he doesn't have dreams like that
I reckon @FEichinger has angel cake dreams by now
 
@fbueckert It's one thing to post a crazy dream's roundup (glares at @GraceNote) ... It's a different thing posting a walloftext containing various inappropriate material ...
 
Okay it only contains one inappropriate thing alright
 
@FEichinger I'm taking that as a request for a new tale.
 
You also have to go out of your way to go read it.
 
5:49 PM
@fbueckert can you see steam?
 
@kalina Actually, no, not dreams per se.
 
Someone just delete it
 
@FEichinger Very true.
 
@FEichinger DON'T DO IT
 
@kalina ♥
 
5:49 PM
@kalina See steam? Not sure I don't get the reference.
 
@fbueckert Hicpotboy
 
@kalina Yeah, there's a story behind that. And it doesn't actually involve me imbibing other substances.
 
Bye I guess
 
who went into his room and started flagging
-.-
the room was entirely full of brain damage, but it was his room
 
goddammit THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS
 
5:51 PM
probably shouldn't have linked it to us
 
@kalina I dunno; that looked pretty inappropriate.
 
Wasn't me. I was contemplating it, but I just proceeded shaking my head.
 
Not that I validated the flag.
 
FAE
@kalina I didn't flag anything there, but he's still beholden to general network rules with what he says in there.
 
I facepalmed so much I have a handprint on my face
 
5:53 PM
And "his room" doesn't really fly.
All these rooms are publically visible and indexed.
 
no but he would have likely gotten away with it if he hadn't linked it to us
 
What on earth possessed him to post something that, from all accounts, seems to be a disturbingly erotic dream on a site that has banned him for less?
 
@kalina Depends. Anyone accessing through the rooms overview could've found it, and with a certain amount of activity it might even have showed up elsewhere on the network.
 
@Yuki "He's GnomeSlice..."
 
@Unionhawk You have a very strange view of "nice things".
 
5:55 PM
@Yuki SHH
 
@Yuki The part where he doesn't think about the consequences and then proceeds to complain about how mean the system is.
 
Would have been easier and quieter to just flag for mod attention and have the whole room removed
 
What did I miss--no I don't want to know
All I saw was nude spiderman
 
@MadScientist Which should probably be done anyways.
 
@BenBrocka I'd say it was probably worse than that ... Depending on your point of view.
 
5:56 PM
@MadScientist you should probably still do this
 
I just did, I think
 
This is a moment where I'm glad I don't have dreams. Or at least don't have any dreams that I remember.
 
@Yuki Dreams are the place where creativity is born.
 
@MadScientist You did.
 
I have whacked out dreams sometimes.
 
5:57 PM
The room is gone fro the list of site rooms.
 
@MadScientist strange, deleting the room doesn't delete the room
 
Aww, I wasn't done reading. Something about dragons and ice cream.
 
Actually, is that a sign of neurological disorder? Because I haven't remembered a single dream in... three or four years? Maybe more?
 
@Yuki Let's consult our expert! glares at @GraceNote
 
FAE
@Yuki No, most people dream every night but many don't remember them, that's not abnormal.
 
5:58 PM
It just means your dreams are boring.
 
@Yuki I only rarely remember my dreams, and when I do, I remember every dream for weeks, then it stops.
 
@Yuki yes, you're going to die, I recommend fedexing me all of your earthly possessions
 
@BenBrocka And trading you his pokemans
 
Yeah, but everyone I talk to remembers at least one dream within the last year. A three or four year dry streak? Sounds a little ominous to me.
 
But yeah, you're basically supposed to forget your dreams. They're just brain-junk anyway. They're the brain version of that crusty stuff in your eyes in the morning
 
5:58 PM
@Yuki Not remember dreams is not a disorder. Just something that is either a quirk or just not enough prep / talent / exercise at recollection.
 
Last night at my daughter's bedtime my wife was reading her this stupid book my mom got us, that's basically about how we're going to get old and die and our daughter will be sad. It's a stupid book. My wife is reading it and is actually crying by the last page. She finishes reading it in a voice choked with tears, closed it, and my daughter says "Again!"
 
@Yuki I've known people who used to think they never dreamed. And perhaps they don't, though some eventually had dreams after several years.
 
@GraceNote Or not having an alarm clock wake you up abruptly.
 
It was hilarious.
 
@OrigamiRobot I could share, for a price
 
5:59 PM
When I can remember my dreams, I don't feel like I've slept at all. And I mix up my dreams with recollection of actual events.
 
There's a lot of things about actually remembering dreams. You could remember a dream when you wake up but then immediately forget it. And then you can forget that you forgot it pretty easily.
 
@Sterno Your daughter is awesome. Tell SkyDrift I said hello.
 
FAE
@Sterno Kind of like how the first 20 minutes of Up wreck adults more than kids.
@Sterno I WAS JUST ABOUT TO ASK IF IT WAS THIS ONE
 
@FAE Oh, you've read it?
 
6:00 PM
@Sterno Oh, I remember this one.
I hated and loved it.
 
FAE
> I love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living, my mommy you'll be.
 
@Sterno They read that book in church a few months ago. I remember it.
 
It's also a little creepy because the mom climbs into her adult son's window at night and rocks him back and forth.
 
@FAE OH GOD I'VE HEARD THIS BEFORE
 
@Sterno That's at least five levels of disturbing right there.

Q: updated windows 8,1 and can't play battlefield 3

user58578Hi i just uptaded my windows 8 to windowws 8,1 and now i can't play battlefield 3, It only says Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player '**' (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Service Communication Failure: PnkBstrA.exe how do i fix this?

 
FAE
@Sterno I had this book as a little kid. It used to make me cry.
 
@Sterno AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'VE BEEN REPRESSING MEMORIES OF THIS BOOK
 
@FAE That's because it's horrible.
I had no idea so many people would have known of this book.
Now you can appreciate the humor of my daughter saying "Again!"
 
@Sterno Well, it's written as a kid's book. Ascribe the best of intentions to the mother, rather than thinking of it as creepy.
 
(technically, she said "mo-mo" while signing for "more", but same difference)
 
6:02 PM
ALL THESE EMOTIONS (MAINLY FEAR) ARE FLOODING BACK TO ME
WHAT HAVE YOU PEOPLE DONE?
 
Must now read the negative reviews on Amazon.
 
FAE
@Sterno My grandmother died suddenly when I was 5 so I had this fear of death and abandonment instilled in me at a young age and books like that didn't help.
 
@FAE I can hear my mom's voice reading this line to me.
 
> While the idea that a mother loves her son no matter what he does is very sweet and comforting, the idea of an old lady driving across town with a ladder strapped to her car in order to climb into her grown son's window is not.
 
@Sterno wtf just at the cover
 
FAE
6:04 PM
Here's the full text of the book.
 
I own that book
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot I am getting sad just thinking about it. :(
 
It's somewhere in a closet.
 
> My Mom used to read this book to me as a child. I am 19 now, almost 20. I believe that this book contributed to my early anxiety about death. I can remember my Mom reading this to me when I was younger, and afterwards, there would usually be tears in her eyes because she found it so sweet and touching. I, on the other hand, hated this book. It made me sad and scared about getting old and having my Mom and Dad get old as well. Eventually, I asked my Mom to stop reading it to me.
It's always right around the phone call when my wife starts crying.
 
Ugh, I can't deal with this.
 
6:08 PM
I think I broke chat.
 
FAE
@Sterno We're all dealing with our collective trauma.
 
@Sterno You just depressed everyone here.
 
I totally want to get in the car, drive to daycare, and hug my daughter now.
 
Quick! CAT PICTURES
 
6:10 PM
My realization that death comes to all came far before that book.
 
:^)

My cute kitten that I will get in ~2 weeks.
I have yet to figure out a name for it.
 
I've never read that book. No fear of death here.
 
@fbueckert Espurr?
 
I'm not afraid of death, that book just seriously creeps me out.
 
6:12 PM
@Yuki I'm not naming it after a Pokemon.
 
@fbueckert Wipqozn.
 
@fbueckert Name it @GnomeSlice
 
@Wipqozn You're already banned from name suggestions.
@OrigamiRobot And now I'm banning you, too.
 
@OrigamiRobot Oh right, that reminds me! @RonanForman and I were supposed to get an apartment together and adopt @GnomeSlice as our pet.
 
Also, puppies:
 
6:13 PM
I would have named my cat @GnomeSlice if I hadn't already had a name planned.
 
um...so...

I still feel sorry for that horse. Gave all it got, only to die at the end.
 
FAE
@fbueckert :D
 
6:16 PM
@Unionhawk Thats the cat that comes back to kill you in your sleep
 
I don't understand this reference.
 
FAE
@fbueckert Spoilers for anyone who hasn't read it, man!
 
What book are we talking about?
 
@fbueckert And then you'll know which friends to never speak to again. The ones who think you named the cat after a twilight character.
 
@tombull89 Apparently?
 
6:21 PM
I figured it was Twilight.
That girl was the worst role model ever.
4
 
and the "Captain Obvious" award goes to...
 
@Sterno Wasn't the message of Twilight "Women are useless without a man and should thus define themselves by their partner and nothing else"?
2
That's the sense I always got.
Like a book out of the 1800s or sometihng.
 
I would like to point out, I wasn't being mean to Gnome, he made the whole thing up, I was just saying it again later.
 
@Wipqozn There seemed to be a bonus message of "If you can't be with the person you love, pine away forever and maybe try killing yourself"
 
nice high quality tv
when they make the tv show where a woman who has been screwed over by men all her life goes on a murderous rampage
I'll watch that
 
Only Twilight worth reading is Twilight Sparkle.
 
@OrigamiRobot That was poetry man.
Pure poetry.
I shed a tear.
 
@TZHX Well, sure, but how does one read a pony/unicorn/alicorn?
 
Just one?
 
@Wipqozn I should have directed the movies.
 
6:30 PM
@TrentHawkins Very carefully.
 
@TrentHawkins In the trail of their rainbow, in the beat of their heart, in their deep deep eyes.
 
@OrigamiRobot You couldn't have done any worse than the real director.
 
FAE
@TrentHawkins That would be an amazing litmus test.
 
@Wipqozn Granted, he couldn't have done any better.
Considering the source material.
 
@Yuki Not making them at all would have been better.
 
6:32 PM
@Wipqozn Well, then he wouldn't be the director, now would he?
in his best Joseph Gordon-Levitt voice, PARADOX.

Q: Left shift doesn't work in KSP or other Unity games

wheels_upI've got an issue in several different unity games: the LeftShift key doesn't recognize, nor does RightShift. Every other key works fine, and LeftShift works in other games and outside of Kerbal. I'm running Windows 8.1. Any ideas?

 
Saddest part about the harry potter movies; Voldemort didn't just kill Cedric, he sent him to a vastly inferior book adaptation.

@TrentHawkins lol
 
Whoops... ok, well, Wormtail did it, but on voldemort's orders, so....
 
TARGET ACQUIRED:
 
6:43 PM
I hate clients that give me conflicting requirements, and then blame me when it doesn't work.
Or whine when the feature request I gave them works exactly the way they told me to build it, because it doesn't work the way the envisioned it would.
 
Joseph Gordon-Levitt should be in every movie.

Q: What's the point of buying art?

Anna LearAside from satisfying my inner completionist, is there any point in buying art in Assassin's Creed IV? It's available for purchase from merchants pretty much right away, but it seems like a waste of money. Does buying it serve an in-game purpose or award achievements?

 
Not an entirely great article though, if I'm honest.
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice You need a NSFW tag on this.
 
@FAE gah, too slow
Actually I just finished reading it.
Nobody read it
That was fucking horrible
 
FAE
6:58 PM
@GnomeSlice And no, it is not.
 
It started out okay. But ugh.
Yeah, sorry about that.
 
Just, please, for once ... finish reading/watching/inotherwaysconsuming whatever you're linking to before linking to it.
This whole "Oh, right, there's ... actually something messed up with that, Oops." thing is getting annoying.
 
@FEichinger Agree...
