The Bridge

1:10 PM

@Blem We are truly sorry but there is still no vacancy here. This is only part of an early retirement plan within our institution. Creepy

OrigamiRobot

@FAE The Home Alone strategy eh?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Fluttershy They sure are jerks. Have you listened to episode 19?

fbueckert

Good morning, Bridge

Sterno

It is not a good morning at all.

FAE

1:16 PM

@OrigamiRobot Pretty much. I dunno, it just like, tripped my anxiety levels something fierce here and I'm all paranoid now. >_<

OrigamiRobot

@LessPop_MoreFizz I miss Dana.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@OrigamiRobot She is in a better place.

(I assume it's pretty awesome in the Dog Park.)

M'vy

@fbueckert heya

OrigamiRobot

@LessPop_MoreFizz They do have a pretty sweet monolith in there.

Fluttershy

@LessPop_MoreFizz I did. Finished 19b on the way to work. It was interesting.

And now, we've lost power here at the elevator, and we'll be losing Internet shortly. So... I'll be back later!

RedRiderX

1:20 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz Good Gravy someone went in the Dog Park!?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@RedRiderX Intern Dana is trapped there.

@RedRiderX MOMENTOUS THINGS happen in the most recent few episodes.

The WAR WITH THE UNDERGROUND CITY BENEATH THE BOWLING ALLEY has begun.

The GATES OF THE DOG PARK briefly opened, and then shut.

And THE BROWNSTONE SPIRE has revealed itself.

RedRiderX

@LessPop_MoreFizz gasp I still haven't gotten over the intern that was lost to the Thing Which Is Not Acknowledged.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@RedRiderX Being an Intern at Night Vale Radio is not a job with a strong life expectancy.

fbueckert

@Sterno I beg to differ. We're not underwater, ergo, it's a good day.

Blem

kickstarter for kickstarter video!

They fall somewhere in between Red Shirts and Black People in Horror Movies.

FAE

@Sterno Still feverish?

RedRiderX

@LessPop_MoreFizz Not if Management has anything to say about it!

Wait, I think I used the wrong amount of negatives...

I'm just confused now.

I should just go visit Nightvale.

Preferably in a tour bus.

LessPop_MoreFizz

I am so happy I am getting most of the Bridge hooked on this. :D

Q: How does a 'Warlord' turn into a 'Duke of Ork'?

In the 'Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep' DLC, I've been fighting against an enemy identified as a 'Warlord'. While fighting him, I noticed that he turns into a 'Duke of Ork'. He also appeared to deal and absorb more damage as a Duke of Ork: This is in Ultimate True Vault Hunter Mode (UTVHM)...

borderlands-2

RedRiderX

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, it seems to be hard to find many people who are into it.

When I was talking about it with some family members they didn't seem that interested.

Just got a lot of eyerolling and blank stares.

OrigamiRobot

1:30 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz I've gotten three people into it.

Sterno

@FAE Seems to be done

FAE

@Sterno Glad you're feeling better!

Your daughter in the clear?

Sterno

So far she seems to be. Yay!

She might have been the one who gave it to me, only somehow didn't have a high fever to go with it. She's had a cold for like 2 weeks

FAE

Ah, gotcha.

Sterno

Now I will assault you all with a picture of my daughter, because she is awesome.

FAE

1:34 PM

@Sterno And also an airplane, apparently!

Sterno

Just some outdoor furniture, actually. I'm not sure you could get a balloon on an airplane. It might be filled with lethal gas!

tombull89

Horay!

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno No, she is an airplane.

FAE

@OrigamiRobot This.

fbueckert

Ubi's Epic Quest for Mighty Loot is undergoing an open house next week, it looks like.

kalina

1:37 PM

So... That awkward 30 minute wait while hr decide what to do next

Sterno

I misunderstood!

Yes, she was definitely an airplane that day. Riding a sugar high from her cake.

@kalina ?

FAE

haha

kalina

@sterno disciplinary hearing regarding my time keeping

fbueckert

Oh, geez. Atlus's parent company just declared something like bankruptcy.

Martin Sojka

@Blem He looks a bit like Beej from LoadingReadyRun (only I think Beej is funnier ;)).

OrigamiRobot

1:40 PM

@kalina :(

@fbueckert Nooooooooooooooooooo

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Atlus has been one of the better companies releasing games lately.

Sterno

@kalina Man, they make it all formal and make you take a train to London and everything? No, "Hey, here's a warning... get in on time from now on OR ELSE?"

fbueckert

...They released Shin Megami Tensei and Persona, right?

kalina

Yes sterno, first time I have worn business clothes in ages

Sterno

@kalina That seems like punishment enough, to me.

kalina

1:44 PM

If I just get a warning, then it was basically a day off and a free trip to London

OrigamiRobot

If it weren't for the heat, I'd rather wear business formal than business casual. Then at least I could wear my top hat all the time.

Ben Brocka

@fbueckert yes, and they publish a lot of games too

kalina

I normally wear jeans and trainers

Ben Brocka

They're publishing Dragon's Crown

fbueckert

@BenBrocka Might be time to snap up some copies of those. They may become rather rare.

Sterno

1:45 PM

I don't know what a trainer is.

@Sterno Sneakers.

@Sterno sneakers

Me neither

Wearing heels with this many stairs is retarded

Sterno

I pretty much don't know any clothing terminology beyond "pants" and "shirt"

Shotgun Ninja

1:45 PM

@kalina So is mentioning male genitalia in a public chatroom.

;p

OrigamiRobot

@FAE Tennis shoes*

RedRiderX

@Sterno British pants or American pants? :P

Sterno

@RedRiderX There's a difference? STOP DESTROYING MY WORLD

kalina

American obviously

British pants is underwear

Ben Brocka

@fbueckert I doubt Atlus will go poof, probably sold

FAE

1:47 PM

@OrigamiRobot pop :P

RedRiderX

@kalina I had assumed, hence the. :P

OrigamiRobot

British people do not recognize the word "under"

Sterno

Shirts are still shirts, right? I can understand what that one means?

kalina

Yes we do

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno They call undershirts "vests"

kalina

1:48 PM

Yes shirts are still shirts

RedRiderX

@Sterno Of course there is also the mathematical definition of pants.

kalina

Also I feel taller today

Sterno

Alright. From now all, I shall refer to all clothing as shirts. "Leg shirts" are clothing worn on the legs, and "head shirts" are hats.

kalina

Amazing what heels do for making me feel tall

FEichinger

@Sterno The term "pants-on-head retarded" gets a whole new meaning.

OrigamiRobot

1:49 PM

@Sterno Butt shirts are underwear.

fbueckert

@BenBrocka These days, it's really hard to tell.

badp

Step 2: Activate Safe Mode
With the PS3 off (power light should be red), touch and hold the Power button, you will hear the 1st beep indicating that the PS3 is powering on.
Continue to hold the power button, and after approximately 5 seconds you will hear a 2nd beep.
Continue to hold the power button and after 5 more seconds you'll hear a 3rd beep, and system will power off (Power light goes red).
Release power button.
Touch and hold the Power button, you will hear the 1st beep, again for PS3 power on.

That is kinda convoluted

kalina

Sounds like the instructions to put an apple device into dfu mode

OrigamiRobot

@kalina In the UK, underpants == pants, but undershirt != shirt? Do you see the problem?

badp

@kalina "Done Fucked Up" mode?

kalina

1:51 PM

Yeah I do

Americans are silly

Changing meanings and then complaining

badp

cough billion runs

Sconibulus

Why don't we just agree that all nouns are now Bill

kalina

I Duno what dfu stands for

anyway

Wish me luck

OrigamiRobot

@kalina Your meanings are inconsistent independent of America.

badp

Don't Fuck Up

Ben Brocka

1:54 PM

@fbueckert People are talking about Nintendo or Sony snapping them up. Might make sense, but they've always been multiplat before

Sconibulus

@badp Hold for 3 beeps, release, hold for 4 beeps, release.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@kalina Device Firmware Upgrade.

(FYI)

fbueckert

@BenBrocka I hope they stay multiplat; that was one of their biggest strengths.

Sconibulus

They made it sound more complicated than it is :-)

LessPop_MoreFizz

And g'luck

badp

1:55 PM

@Sconibulus That's still needlessly complicated

How about "press Power and Eject for eight seconds"

Sconibulus

@badp that sounds like it could happen by accident pretty easily

and it still sounds less complicated than most PCs

badp

@Sconibulus wat.

Even so, what's the problem if it does?

@Sconibulus Boot up, hold F8.

Ben Brocka

I didn't even realized Atlus HAD a parent company

FAE

@BenBrocka Same

They're so big, I thought they were just an entity unto themselves.

badp

unless you're running a decent distro of Linux, then just pick "Emergency mode" at the GRUB screen

Sconibulus

1:57 PM

Holding has never seemed to work for me

Ben Brocka

@fbueckert I wouldn't mind them on Sony's payroll. Not as sure about Nintendo. Persona 5: Rated E for Everyone!

badp

...then mash :P

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/121908/…

Sconibulus

it's ended up being "reboot 3-4 times until you get the timing of f8 press down"

FAE

Dear body, I am as safe as I can possibly be right now, why are you still trying to have a panic attack?! Argh.

badp

1:58 PM

Actually Windows 8 has added a rather obscure way to boot straight into the bootloader thing

I think it involves shift-clicking "Shut down"

@FAE because the steam summers sales are onto us!

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot Fuck those guys

Sconibulus

That doesn't work if you're fixing a computer that's boot-looping

OrigamiRobot

@FAE You are safe. Robot Guarantee.

fbueckert

Kill it. Kill it with fire

badp

@BenBrocka "HOLD E TO DETONATE NOW"?

OrigamiRobot

1:59 PM

@BenBrocka They level up by not dying. :(
