I might even let my consecutive day counter fail
sisters of eve rep just reduced the rep I've been farming all weekend -.-

I think the Bridge is sweet on Kalina.
 
@RavenDreamer We have to make up for how un sweet Kalina is on us
Hrm
 
2:15 AM
It's okay. Snark is the new sexy.
It's why we keep @GraceNote around.
 
sorry I think I missed something, my internet died for the first time in weeks
I think it was a complaint that I hadn't entered warp in a few minutes
 
@kalina gasp
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone That's with CSS?
Wow
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Why pinkiepie if you have twilight's hair?
 
user15026
2:21 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Pinkie Pie! :D
 
@SaintWacko Yup, pure CSS.
@keyframe animation is available in stable versions of all modern browsers now
@RavenDreamer Because Pinkie Pie bouncing seems more appropriate?
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Requires javascript. Blocked.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Forgive me if I don't know the etiquette regarding your bouncing ponies.
 
@fbueckert I think this should work without JavaScript: fiddle.jshell.net/EPutG/1/show/light
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Indeed it does!
 
Now, why am I looking at a bouncing pony?
 
@fbueckert because you're not looking properly, it's a demonstration of animation using purely CSS3
 
@Fluttershy Check out his other gem
 
It's a demo of CSS3 animation. This used to require JavaScript, but now it can be done with CSS and is supported in all modern browsers. Plus, with CSS animation most of the work can be offloaded to the GPU, which means much better performance
 
2:29 AM
And oh yeah, I just like to make little ponies bounce.
@fbueckert So much irony
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone There we go. I wasn't asking for the "Hey, look at the awesome tech demo" answer, but the, "It's a pony. It's bouncing. Why am I watching this?" answer.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I think this crashed my iPad browser
 
@MBraedley That's... interesting
 
user15026
@fbueckert You are watching it because it is Pinkie Pie bouncing and that is awesome :D

A: Why are digital games more expensive than the shops?

Paul AllenYou still playing SC2? Looking for Irish SC2 players.

Oh... <_<
 
@Fluttershy Keep up! :P
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone it did load, though
 
Let me test it on Chrome on my tablet
 
Happy to help, but I'd highly recommend you take a look at our about page before you post anymore. We're NOT a forum, and currently, your track record is pretty bad. — fbueckert 39 secs ago
Ok? Too harsh?
 
FAE
@fbueckert I'd perhaps remove the italics and caps.
 
2:33 AM
It works on Chrome on my tablet, but stutters a bit
The framerate isn't smooth
 
@fbueckert unreasonably harsh
 
@kalina Hyperbole for the win!
 
FAE
@fbueckert Saying their track record is pretty bad, while true, may cause them to go on the defensive.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone it might be chat. The browser crashed multiple times over Christmas.
 
@FAE If he's willing to learn, I think pointing out that his current actions are not acceptable is valid. If he's NOT willing to learn, then it's a moot point.
 
2:36 AM
I'm surprised the performance is so poor. This is a pretty simple animation.
 
FAE
@fbueckert Right, but the phrasing could be a little better.
 
user15026
@fbueckert It is a little harsh, though.
 
user15026
I see the point, do think it could be phrased differently
 
OK, fair enough.
Removed the last sentence.
 
Hmm, the Chrome process on my desktop with the bouncing Pinkie Pie is using ~4% CPU
Seems a little excessive... for a bouncing image
Actually, no. The animation uses less than 1%
 
user15026
2:42 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone How do you check that?
 
Look at task manager and see which Chrome process has the highest CPU utilization
Hardly scientific, but I think it works
The jsfiddle page with the code editor uses 3-4%. The demo page alone with nothing else uses only 1%.
Oh right, I should look at Chrome's new fangled inspector, which allows for inspecting page repaint events
 
Thanks fbueckert. Should have done that to start with. — Paul Allen 3 mins ago
Thanks, ladies. I guess I was being too harsh.
 
@AshleyNunn did you figure out the issue with your computer?
 
@fbueckert hyperbole, right?
 
@kalina Ok, maybe you had a point. Sorry, not used to taking you at anything other than sarcasm+1.
 
2:52 AM
I never thought of myself as very sarcastic :(
 
@kalina You're not sarcastic at all
 
@kalina I think that's sarcastic, right?
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone no
 
I just finished The Telling. It's a really interesting book; a bit heavy and intellectual, especially towards the end
 
@kalina I feel like we've hit a two doors problem
 
user15026
3:01 AM
@Ktash Well, it has stopped doing it, and the scan finaly finished with no issues found.

Q: How do force my Samsung monitor and nVidia card to display in 3D?

Paul AllenI have a Samsung 27LSA950 monitor and apparently there is licencing issues between Samsung and nVidia with regards to 3D games. I have Geforce 570 2.5Gb GPU. There was previously a solution on how to workaround this on the nVidia forums, but has since been deleted by them to avoid legal proble...

Migrate to SU
 
ok then lol
 
@AshleyNunn I yelled at the Star Command devs for not meeting their release dates.
 
Castle time!
 
user15026
@Ktash yeah, I have no idea what's up there. But hey, its fine, so that's good right
 
3:02 AM
Heh, yeah, I guess lol
 
user15026
@fbueckert Oh my god they missed it again didnt they
 
@AshleyNunn They're 99% done, but they still have a few more bugs to work out.
Which would be nice if they told us that BEFORE they miss the release date.
 
user15026
@Ktash giggles I decided it was. But then again, when it comes to understanding the workings of computers, I am cute and decorative more than I am smart. :P but I make a damn tasty homemade oreo, if I do say so myself. (I baked them tonight)
 
user15026
@fbueckert Yeah, they suck at letting the people know stuff
 
@AshleyNunn Which is a no-no when it comes to Kickstarter.
 
user15026
3:04 AM
@fbueckert Pretty much!
 
@AshleyNunn Homemade oreo?!? I'm intrigued
also, as long as more stuff isn't happening, it'll probably be fine
 
user15026
They are awesome dunked in milk
 
@AshleyNunn this looks so very delicious!
 
That does look awesome
 
3:07 AM
 
user15026
@Krazer I make them a lot. They are SO good. I sometimes make peanut butter frosting for peanut butter oreos, or peppermint, or strawberry...

@StrixVaria Why is there so much whitespace?
 
@AshleyNunn And I yelled at them some more for being so sucky at letting us know what's happening.
 
@Krazer Stuff like Wheezing.
 
user15026
3:14 AM
@fbueckert Heck yes.
 
@Ullallulloo Still there's like all that space below the feet
 
@Krazer Yeah, that's unnecessary.
 
@AshleyNunn Not sure if you can see this:
 
user15026
@fbueckert Very well said.
 
Very well put
 
3:17 AM
I find the people going, "You've waited this long, you can wait longer" somewhat irritating.
 
@fbueckert other end of the scale; I get an 'Elite: Dangerous' email once or twice a day
I'm pretty sure on one day I got three updates, but I'd have to check to confirm
 
@kalina I'm not sure if I'd find that more or less annoying.
On one hand, yay, information!
 
and they're long emails as well
 
On the other, oh, geez, information overload!
To be sure, there's a sweet spot in there somewhere.
 
@fbueckert So... This Star Command... Is it the same one they've been working on since their last Kickstarter in 2011? Or did they at least manage to release the iOS/Android version?
 
3:22 AM
they set the backers up a portal and forum and stuff as well
 
@Fluttershy Same one.
They haven't even released the mobile one yet.
 
That's pathetic...
 
Which is why I'm tearing them a new one.
 
I have actually thought about upping my backing amount to get access to an early alpha relerase
but I'm scared they will double up the emails they send me
 
@kalina I loved Elite when it originally came out.
 
3:23 AM
@fbueckert I just want a sandbox space game, I haven't played any of their other games
 
@kalina ...Did you say sandbox space game?
 
yes
 
I can give you at least one awesome recommendation.
 
yes but I feel I'm already playing it
 
@kalina Eve is not the recommendation.
That's spreadsheets in space.
 
3:24 AM
the problem with EVE is you can't just start playing it, you'll always be years behind the people who've been playing it for years
hey I've only made one spreadsheet
and that was the calculate the point I break even in building ships
(yes I just read what I typed... O_O)
 
@kalina I can give you a single player recommendation.
 
I don't like single player games
 
And no, it's not Star Citizen.
Okie dokie, fair enough.
 
single player games can't hold my attention for more than a few weeks
incidentally
 
@kalina I've said it before, but you need to get out more.
 
3:27 AM
that 7 hours I just spent doing an epic story arc
 
And maybe sleep every once in a while.
 
gave me the same rep I was getting from doing 1 hour of missions
I slept 17 hours lastnight
I don't need to sleep more
and I get out frequently
and you're not my dad
 
@kalina "But she only has one cat!" "Give her time..."

Q: Is it possible to have all skills in the skills tree?

WarfaceI was wondering if it's possible to have all skills in the skills tree or I'm limited with a maximum skill points? Could be awesome to have a character that can be a god.

 
@StrixVaria I enjoyed this.
@kalina I didn't even realize you were gone.
 
3:41 AM
oh well
 
user15026
@Wipqozn I couldn't stop watching. It was mesmerizing

Q: Recourse for bad, expensive PC games

JeffreyPC gaming seems to be a little bit different than many other forms of entertainment. Going to the movies cost you $10. A book is similar. Console games can be sold or traded. As a PC gamer, is there any recourse for making a "bad buy", when you're out $50? I try to be careful before buying...

 
user15026
@Wipqozn Neeeergh, you keep saaaaaaying that, and I can't plaaaay it because I have no PS3
 
3:43 AM
How did that question exist for so long?
@AshleyNunn I have another friend in the same situation as you.
It brings me - @fbueckert HOLY SHIT I FORGOT ABOUT CONCLAVE!
 
@Wipqozn It's me, right?
 
@Fluttershy Make that two other friends.
 
I really wish they'd port the 3DS version... Or release a version for Vita.
 
user15026
@Fluttershy a 3ds version would be amazing
 
I hope they never do either of those things.
Why? Because I'm a terrible person.
 
3:47 AM
@Wipqozn are you still up? Jesus, it's nearly midnight.
 
@MBraedley I may or may not be staying up late lately playing Ni No Kuni... (cc @AshleyNunn cc @Fluttershy)
 
user15026
@Wipqozn You a jerk.
 
@AshleyNunn Thanks.
 
@Wipqozn Yeah dawg. You a jerk.
 
@Wipqozn so it has nothing to do with the crap tonne of snow we got just after I left?
 
3:49 AM

@AshleyNunn Thanks.
 
Hm.. I wonder if this works if he's not active in chat...

@Fluttershy ERROR: NOT MY REAL DAD
 
@MBraedley We did get craptons of Snow.

@Fluttershy: It doesn't pick up edits.
 
3:55 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz Actually that doesn't really clarify things for me that much. Or rather, it just kinda enforces my view that american football is tedious as hell
a bunch of circles, crosses, and arrows all over the place. men running around according to them. sorry, but according terms like "magic" and "teleport" to a pass, and "wizard" to a football player, doesn't exactly endear it to me either.
it's just a Boring Goddamn Game.
i like my spectator sports simple. Soccer, tennis, squash, even rugby.
as as if that weren't enough, it's America. try to watch this on a professional level and you'll be blasted with ads constantly. you'd be lucky to follow any of it even if you understood it!

Whats the point of one anyway... its irritating cause it will smell, your mouse will jam on it after a while. Some mousepads have such images on it that your mouse will do a happy dance on your screen...

Nope

I mean, it's early in the morning.

I need a work-safe version of EVE, with all the colours inverted so I can pass it off as a web page or something
 
@kalina Play around with your computer's graphics card setting
Or use the time to do make some spreadsheets
 
I can't just invert all colours, then Excel would look dark
 
12:33 PM
Hmmm, your graphics card settings may have per-application settings
 
oh hai
 
@kalina You could create all the spreadsheets you need for your industry plans at work. That probably wouldn't look too suspicious from a distance
 
@MadScientist I'd need the game to reference the numbers
otherwise I'd be broadcasting a whole load of I'm not working to our IT department in the form of proxy logs
 
Have you considered (*gasp*) actually doing some of the work you're paid to do?
 
I do
the day that I started, I was told what my job was
 
12:34 PM
The stuff you need might be in the static data dump, or available via the API
 
I was given the 200 page manual of how they currently do it
and then I automated it, so whenever they ask me to do it again, I run a script or two and do it in minutes, while claiming the several hours that they expect it to take
I'm not stupid
 
Oh great, you've outsourced yourself to a tiny perl script
 
actually it's a series of batch files and sql scripts
but yeah basically
