@kalina never look at the urban dictionary

user20683

@MadScientist That doesn't look friendly

user15026

9:00 PM

Basically, I feel like a lot of the compounds here are applicable

trust @MadScientist to jump in at this particular point

That is also a very nice molecule, you can immediately see from the structure just how explosive it is

pipeline.corante.com/archives/2013/01/09/…

@MadScientist looks like a bunch of lines and the letter N to me, if I'm honest

user15026

@MadScientist I thought that was from there!

@kalina General guideline, if there are lots of Ns, it's an explosive

9:03 PM

interesting

just a coincidence my name starts with an N, I guess

@kalina Nina.

Nana.

Nana Visitor.

no

you won't guess it

my name is unguessable

Q: Lag on PS3 with good network speed

I've my PS3 (60GB-model) connected with Wi-fi to my network with ~12Mbps down and ~3.5Mbps. Though all games (GTA Online most recently) keep lagging and I don't think that should be a problem with that speed. I've tried with wired connection and that works much better though I have to use wireles...

ps3 gta-online networking wifi lag

@Lazers twitch

user20683

@kalina Nyssa?

9:05 PM

can we get rid of the wifi tag already?

NO

YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO GUESS IT

Oh cool.

The place I'm working at gives me my birthday off.

there are a handful of people in here who know my first name

@Wipqozn nice

Or another day near my birthday, if I don't want to take the actual day off.

Delete votes

also, chat died

I'm blaming @Wipqozn

I'll just post that again.

now we can all talk about how interesting it is

bam! Discussion saved.

I'm a hero.

Q: Why are games like Cookie Clicker addictive?

I was wondering if there is any information about the psychology of why games like Cookie Clicker are addictive. I've heard people compare it to, say, farmville because it's made up money/points and you get achievements, except the difference is that farmville you are actually building stuff and ...

user15026

@Fluttershy An interesting psychological thing, but not a good question for here.

@Lazers Wasn't that exact same question on the gamification proposal?

@Fluttershy People need to learn to think five times about posting things here when their question begins with the word "Why...?".

Q: Why is my coal power plant not receiving coal?

I am building an industrial city that has a coal power plant, an advanced coal mine, an ore mine, a smelting plant and a trade port to store any excess materials in. My power levels have just gone critical on account of my coal power plant running out of coal; (Yes I know the power has gone of...

sorry, I just wanted to demonstrate a "why" question

@kalina Clearly, you thought five times before deciding "Yeah, that question works".

@Yuki nope

I never think if my questions work

You did because I say you did.

I just delete them the second they reach negative votes

well, you're wrrong

@kalina Why is @kalina posting "why" questions?

9:22 PM

I'm always right. Except when I'm wrong. And even then, I'm right.

Why is @Blem questioning me?

@Yuki this is my line, I own copyrights on it

with that i am off to bed, nn people

@kalina Well, that's good. Because copyright doesn't apply to short expressions like that, I think. My trademark, on the other hand...

@Yuki your trademark won't protect you and everybody you know from my fire

I guess I win by default

@kalina I trademarked your fire while I was at the office.

9:25 PM

you can't trademark my fire

Actually, trademark doesn't work in that case...

Patented it. Done.

you can't patent a natural phenomenon

and I will set fire to anybody who tries

and their families

and their friends

Why are you arguing with her when even if she's wrong she's right?

and... well... everybody they've ever met

@Sterno Mostly because my database class is kinda boring right now.

9:27 PM

wait a minute, I'm your "entertainment" ?

this is unacceptable

I am no @GnomeSlice

tabs to other browser and starts typing as @GnomeSlice

well, it seems we have a complete lack of coordination going on here

The Bridge is like an ancient Roman coliseum and you are the gladiators meant to entertain me.

@Sterno I feel the same way about the world and everyone who isn't me.

at least casual arguing prevents my boredom level from increasing as quickly

@Sterno Speaking of, I haven't heard much in terms of progress updates in labyrinthian journeys.

Q: Can the Mega Stones at the Stone Emporium in Lumiose City be bought multiple times?

I have seen info about how the stones' price will change with your style, but I haven't found anywhere if each can be bought more than once.

Q: How can I tell the contents of a mystery gift?

League of Legends introduced Mystery Gifts this last patch. Where you receive a random skin for a champion you own. I've given/received a couple of the gifts, and I wanted to know who gave me which skin and what I gave to others. Is there anyway to tell which friend sent me what skin? And is t...

league-of-legends

Hiya!

Should I change my name to my real name again

No

9:56 PM

Honestly, that's up to you.

Last time it didn't really work

Well, a name change isn't going to magically fix things.

If things worked like that, you would refer to me as "Robert Downey Jr."

@GnomeSlice To be honest, I would recommend to avoid associating your chat transcripts with your real name

@MadScientist The idea being that I would stop posting dumb shit all the time

@GnomeSlice You're also associating all the dumb shit you posted in the past with your real name if you do that

9:59 PM

Fun Fact: Your potential employers will google your name and potentially find this transcript.

It won't change it in the index will it?

@GnomeSlice it's a good idea in principle, but it didn't work last time

so you'll just end up associating a load of dumb shit with your real name

@GnomeSlice If they're smart/persistent, they will search by user ID rather than name.

As in search for all messages in <Chat Room> said by <user ID>.

saying that, anybody actually investigating you will realise that you already associate your real name with GnomeSlice

due to your twatter account

user20683

Welcome to 2013, the NSA knows where you live and Google knows what you post.

10:01 PM

So I'm basically fucked

I need to delete my account

no

Yes

And then start over

nope

Account deletion will not remove data.

just stop being stupid

10:02 PM

Right, but the name will get changed to user85730573404

@Yuki this

nope

@kalina 1 million times this

chat transcript will still show you as you

@GnomeSlice Changes in name and/or deletion are not retroactively applied to chat transcript.

I need to manually change my name to user85730573404

Oh.

10:03 PM

13 secs ago, by FAE

@GnomeSlice Changes in name and/or deletion are not retroactively applied to chat transcript.

user15026

It won't change the core problem, though, if you change your name. The reason the last one didn't work, and why subsequent ones also, I suspect, won't, is that behaviour is telling. The only way to enact real change, is to enact a behavioural change.

user15026

(Also, damn, I am so using my "English student writing a paper" voice now.)

user20683

@GnomeSlice Here is my theory: Stack Exchange is less anonymous and also puts a premium on quality content. Thus the users tend to be more competent/serious. You find that impressive and feel unsure of yourself so you look up to us and want us to like you because that validates you. Thus you act out trying impress us but your lack of judgement and/or social experience causes this to explode in your face repeatedly.

@WorldEngineer This seems plausible. My site contributions are ~~always~~ usually fine, though.

@WorldEngineer For varying quantities of "competent" and "serious".

user20683

10:06 PM

@Yuki Well yes.

I, for one, am an incompetent idiot.

user15026

I fake competency well.

user20683

I fake it spectacularly.

user20683

just ask @AshleyNunn

@WorldEngineer Two drums and a cymbal fall off a cliff.

user15026

10:10 PM

@WorldEngineer I have nothing to say to this because I can only form innuendo right now

user20683

@AshleyNunn O_o

I find it easier to just maneuver yourself into modship, then you don't have to fake competency anymore ;-)

@MadScientist Just MOD ABUSE anyone who says otherwise, right?

user15026

@WorldEngineer It's either that or you get literary rhetoric, those are the only things in my brain right now.

Wow, there's a SARS prevention poster hanging here in the cookhouse

user15026

10:14 PM

@MadScientist Oh, so I don't have to do that anymore? :P

user20683

@AshleyNunn Can I have both please?

Can't believe that was more than 10 years ago

user15026

@WorldEngineer Greedypants.

@PrivatePansy Does it mention that you shouldn't time travel to a time when SARS was a thing?

@AshleyNunn

10:15 PM

@JasonBerkan That's covered by the time travel prevention poster, I think.

Really?

@JasonBerkan Beware of mad men with blue police boxes hanging around your area

@PrivatePansy Stolen blue police boxes.

@PrivatePansy And amazingly awesome men with strange large wristwatches

@SaintWacko I would dress as Captain Jack for Halloween but I don't have that amazingly chiseled jawline.

"There is no God. There is only Captain Jack's rugged good looks and chiseled jaw."

user15026

10:19 PM

@SaintWacko I would rather do things with him than be him, if I had to be honest.

@AshleyNunn Don't worry, everyone feels that way

It's just natural

@SaintWacko Especially that way.

user15026

@Yuki That is a way I most definitely feel

In related news, I will be attempting to dress as the Eleventh for Halloween.

I got my red suspenders yesterday.

user15026

Niiiice

10:21 PM

@Yuki I hope you're not camera shy, because I demand pictures.

user15026

@Wipqozn oooh yes this

And, to mix things up, I'll try to dress up as Ninth for the 50th anniversary episode.

@Yuki Very nice

The only NuWho Doctor who won't be appearing in that episode...

user15026

also, dear streaming service, since when is a song about someone getting caught cheating and getting shot a LOVE song, amid all these sappy ballads?

user15026

10:22 PM

@Yuki Which sucks because he is my fave

10th is my favorite, but it was close between 9th and 10th

@AshleyNunn If it wasn't for Eccleston, we wouldn't have the new Doctor Who series, in my opinion.

user15026

@Yuki Agree, 100%

9th doctor was badass

Also, time for me to leave work!

user20683

@SaintWacko No overnight horrors?

10:24 PM

This is so fucking good

One day I want to be that good

user image

Time to try to figure this out

@GnomeSlice Practice, practice, practice.

@WorldEngineer Not today

I leave you with this

Q: How do I hunt White Whales?

I just discovered a White Whale and decided to kill it, but not only does it do tons of damage to my rowboat, sometimes it even manages to flee. What am I doing wrong?

assassins-creed-4

My cats are on cloud 9 right now.

10:34 PM

@GraceNote beat stratum 5.

We have a fire going because it's pretty chilly, and they're loving it.

user image

@Wipqozn I am seriously camera shy and I'm probably sure I won't be able to pull off the look because: a. I'm Asian and b. I'm fairly certain no human can imitate that hair.

@Yuki You're welcome to just photoshop your face out so we can see the rest of the costume.

I kind of want to get a Travis Touchdown costume except I would be too embarassed to wear it

10:41 PM

@Yuki I remember seeing recently someone complaining that, since they were asian, they could never go as "Superman" or "Batman", because they were always instead "Asian Superman" or "Asian Batman".

@Wipqozn Though if you go that route, expect us to photoshop something back in.

@RavenDreamer Could dress up as Black Bat if they were female.

Or whatever Cassandra Cain goes by these days.

@RavenDreamer that was the plan

@Yuki I say, you should dress up as Black Bat. Thumb your nose at traditional gender roles!

Me and two friends are making minecraft themed food and jazz and chilling for halloween

@AshleyNunn Did you happen to see my game recommendation a bit ago?

user15026

@GnomeSlice I think I missed it :) Tell me again! :)

@AshleyNunn You might be interested in Marvin's Mittens

I posted it while I was getting shouted at in here, so I figured you might have missed it.

user20683

@GnomeSlice Here's my advice as far as not pissing off the room: Post music, game recs, and events. Avoid memes and funny pictures.

@WorldEngineer And women.

@WorldEngineer But okay. I'll keep that in mind.

user20683

10:52 PM

@GnomeSlice Unless it's a game about a woman that is not degrading to women. Think Mirror's Edge

user15026

@GnomeSlice That looks like such a me thing!

user15026

Once I get my credit card situation sorted, I might just have to sneak it into my budget!

@AshleyNunn It's also on Steam Greenlight, if you can spare a vote.

Pizzatime.

user15026

@GnomeSlice Oh, awesome

@WorldEngineer Regulate your posting though.

user20683

10:59 PM

That too

user20683

Honestly I'd do it like this: Make a tumblr, stick everything on there. Then link every 5th one here.

user image

Seems legit.

user15026

@WorldEngineer Not a bad plan

@GnomeSlice I swear you've posted this several times already.

With the same "Seems legit" caption.

user20683

@GnomeSlice That's the other thing, avoid reposts. This is where a tumblr comes in handy

Q: im trying to play starwars the force unleahed multiplayer psp vs psvita and it says on my vita to turn onthe wlan switch, whtdo i do?

I got star wars the force unleahed on my psvita so i can play multiplayer with my psp, but my vita says turn on the wlan switch so what do i do? I aleady tried changing the adhoc channel and turning airplane mode on.

angry-birds-star-wars

@Lazers Why is that tagged with angry birds?

user15026

@Yuki because it is likely the first tag that pops when you type star wars, if they are alpha sorted

@AshleyNunn But but but angry birds?

user20683

@Yuki Wifi is kind of like Angry Birds. It's involves stuff flying through the air and missing

ITALYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

@James My god, that is beautiful.

user20683

@James Reminds me of a combo of the 3rd and 8th doctors

I still want the John Hurt episode .. Ill then get excited over this guy as the doctor.. So glad they upped the age again and love how the gracefully played up the age of Matt Smith at the end :D

user15026

@James I am super excited for an older Doctor, hoping it means no more love storylines, I am bored of those

user15026

(I want another Donna-esque sass companion)

user15026

11:17 PM

And I know we are stuck with whatsherpants but I just cant connect to her

@AshleyNunn They dont bug me so much, Donna was hilarious though :D I definitely do not want another Rose or Martha. But the whole Amy and Clara work for me.

The first two instances of Clara were very enjoyable a quick witted person to spin the doctor on his head was new and fresh

but the revamped her backwards for the rest of the last season so another somewhat cross between amy and rose

Shes head strong and says no then is swoony and a follower when she goes off on any adventure.

That twist around bugs me

user15026

I liked her better before the last ep and before it became like another love thing

I really hope they don't try to work in a romantic relationship with Capaldi.

It got old with Rose and Martha. Amy didn't help things at all.

I ~~liked~~ preferred it when it was Amy/Rory and just had to roll my eyes at all the oh god, I'm so torn between the Doctor and Rory moments.

user15026

Q: can I speed up chlorophyte growth?

I've set up a chlorophyte farm and it is growing chlorophyte. Is there a way to speed up its growth? Does anything govern its growth?

user20683

11:24 PM

They really need a 7th/Ace dynamic

user20683

or maybe 4th/Leela or 4th/Romana

user15026

I just...like if the companions are supposed to be our way into the expereince of the story of the Doctor, well, there is more to my life than love, you know?

user15026

@WorldEngineer Now I am feeling bad that I haven't seen anything of what you are referring to. I should really watch the classic stuff.

user20683

@AshleyNunn We can watch together sometime

user15026

That would be fun :D

11:25 PM

@AshleyNunn I don't relate to the romantic relationships at all because I've only had the one girlfriend back in high school.

And you can hardly call that romance.

@AshleyNunn She non stop flirted with him right from the get go though, so I am not sure what you mean by turned into

user15026

@Yuki I am dating two very lovely gentlemen and I still don't relate to it :P

user15026

@James flirting =/= love

@Yuki I liked the amy and rory episodes much better when all that was out of the way, They were just a great set of companions

user15026

or relationship or romance

user15026

11:27 PM

if it did I would be DOOMEd

All right, hopefully traffic's gone down enough for me to have a straight shot back home.

Hate that my commute takes me straight through the center of the city.

@Yuki Find a scenic route :)

@James It's Houston. The only scene is flat, flat, flat, flat land.

@Yuki All scenery, even constant flat, looks better with less traffic :D

Q: Maniac Mansion: Cutscenes and Game Time Limit

Is it possible to get a Game Over in Maniac Mansion by taking too long to rescue Sandy? In the recent playthrough of Maniac Mansion done by The Game Grumps, Danny suggested that the base game, outside of meltdown timers and such, is on a timer that will result in a Game Over if it expires. Howe...

Q: A cool game which I can't remember

It's an MMORPG game which is about getting one eyed creatures which transform into weapons and u can fuse them and use them to make quests and pvp. Not being able to remember it's literally provoking me** PS: the game tagged has nothing to do with the question

Ugh. I forgot that the shuttle takes forever.

I don't think I'm going to wait for traffic again.

Woo! That was a fast game of Spacebase.

One of my crew had a parasite erupt from his body, and the ensuing battle killed it, caused a hull breach, and sucked 70% of my crew into space.

Q: When do scorpions appear, and how do I catch them?

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, I have seen a scorpion only once. It was in front of the mayor's office, and when I got close to it, I fell and my game reset. Does anyone know how to catch it? Even more, WHEN are scorpions usually active?

animal-crossing-new-leaf

@fbueckert Oh, you own it.

I was watching a lets play of it earlier.

Poking around a bit and I think I'll pick itup when it's further along in development.

I'm holding off until it's less Alpha

@Sterno YEah, that's what I'm thinking.,

It seems to be fairly polished bug wise, but lacking in features.

I'm Batman.

Q: I've impregnated a cow. How long until it gives birth?

My cow is pregnant, but the game doesn't include any instructions for pregnancy, so I'm not sure how long it takes for the cow to give birth. Furthermore, how long after birth does it take the baby cow to produce milk?
