@WorldEngineer For some reason every time I see the word spatzle written out I want to confuse it with Scrapple.

besides, if one were to be too anal on what's pasta and what isn't, then they'd end up accidentally dismissing other delicious things like this

Pizzoccheri

Pizzoccheri are a type of short tagliatelle, a flat ribbon pasta, made with 80% buckwheat flour and 20% wheat flour. When classically prepared in Valtellina or in Graubünden, they are cooked along with greens (often Swiss Chard but also Savoy cabbage), and cubed potatoes. This mixture is layered with pieces of Valtellina Casera cheese and ground Grana Padano or Parmigiano Reggiano, and dressed with garlic and sage that are lightly fried in butter together. Pizzoccheri can be made easily by hand. They can also be found pre-made. Two pizzoccheri fairs (or sagre) take place in Teglio: La S...

the photo hardly pays justice to the amount of molten cheese involved

Scrapple

Scrapple, also known by the Pennsylvania Dutch name pon haus, is traditionally a mush of pork scraps and trimmings combined with cornmeal and wheat flour, often buckwheat flour, and spices. The mush is formed into a semi-solid congealed loaf, and slices of the scrapple are then panfried before serving. Scraps of meat left over from butchering, not used or sold elsewhere, were made into scrapple to avoid waste. Scrapple is best known as a rural American food of the Mid-Atlantic states (Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania). Scrapple and pon haus are commonly considered an ethn...

So have you all heard that the UK firewall might be blocking "violent material", "esoteric material", and "web forums"?

LessPop_MoreFizz

Not pasta, but very delicious.

@RedRiderX This thing is a rhetoric device that exists but its name defies me now.

@badp What, the whole idea of the firewall?

badp

No, doing a list that starts pompous and ends on a low note

RedRiderX

@badp Oh.

Like, a subverting of expectations?

Anyway.

UK firewall might be used to block "violent material", "esoteric material", and "web forums".

badp

@RedRiderX Honestly the timing should be a huge red flag

trying to put it after NSA exploded while the medias are busy with the royal baby stuff before people realize what's going on

or, since we're talking of rhetorical devices, before people realize what's going on, while the medias are busy with the royal baby stuff, after the NSA case exploded.

BOOM HYSTERON PROTERON.

Ben Brocka

@RedRiderX "gaming" is also a nixed category IIRC

badp

I think a lot of the talk is clouded (rightfully) by the fact that the companies that would actually provide this kind of filtering already have categories of this kind

RedRiderX

12:09 AM

@BenBrocka Well nice knowing ya' @RonanForman and @Fredley.

badp

so yeah, they already have sites flagged as "gaming" or "nudity, contains a statue of ancient greek's" and after all can't you catalog disabling a pornwall that's put up for your own good under "self-harm"?

RedRiderX

@BenBrocka I'd say it could easily qualify as "esoteric".

badp

@RedRiderX probably Bathos

> The ballerina rose gracefully en pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant.

Bathos

Bathos (Greek , meaning depth) is an abrupt transition in style from the exalted to the commonplace, producing a ludicrous effect. While often unintended, bathos may be used deliberately to produce a humorous effect. If bathos is overt, it may be described as Burlesque or mock-heroic. It should not be confused with pathos, a mode of persuasion within the discipline of rhetoric, intended to arouse emotions of sympathy and pity. Examples Modern Contemporary examples often take the form of analogies, written to seem unintentionally funny: * [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content...

@RedRiderX esoteric is a concerning category, not that the rest aren't

@BenBrocka "Web forums"?

@badp Yeah, it's close.

But I'm not laughing.

Ben Brocka

@RedRiderX Yeah that's a puzzler too

@RedRiderX Laughing while telling a joke is poor form.

RedRiderX

@badp True.

This feels like I'm reading freaking Pirate Cinema.

Mondegreen

A mondegreen is the mishearing or misinterpretation of a phrase as a result of near-homophony, in a way that gives it a new meaning. It most commonly is applied to a line in a poem or a lyric in a song. American writer Sylvia Wright coined the term in her essay "The Death of Lady Mondegreen," published in Harper's Magazine in November 1954. "Mondegreen" was included in the 2000 edition of the Random House Webster's College Dictionary. Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary added the word in 2008. The phenomenon is not limited to English, with examples cited by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, in the H...

@GnomeSlice I'm waiting for Cardinal Quest 2.

Sterno

I disliked Cardinal Quest. And Hack Slash Loot

RedRiderX

@Sterno I was kind of meh on Cardinal Quest 1, but Cardinal Quest 2 is nicely streamlined and is a very nice, lighter rouge-like.

I have a few hours in the demo alone.

Q: Can I decline to install updates for Steam games?

Is it possible to be selective about updates to Steam games?

steam

do you think this Q is okay now or should I just delete it and let somebody else reask it?

the answer is a one-liner "No", anyway. Unless it's a feature provided through the SteamPipe beta feature. Or something.

Fluttershy

@badp We don't edit piracy support questions. They should be deleted without remorse.

badp

@Fluttershy It's not really a piracy question though is it? He doesn't need help getting his pirated game working

It's the game he bought as an actual legitimate customer that's not working as well.

That's what he's seeking support with.

Fluttershy

Ah. So it is. That's... a bit of a grey area. o_o

badp

Well, it could apply to any other game or situation really. "Since the latest update to Game X, I'm getting the Y problem. Can I go back?"

SaintWacko

@Sterno Hack Slash Loot is awful

Truly disappointing

1:20 AM

@badp Well, now this might be an answer.

badp

@Ullallulloo that doesn't get you back in update history though

Ullallulloo

@badp Which it doesn't ask now.

badp

@Ullallulloo Fine, fine, there you go. I added that specific part back in.

but an answer that didn't mention in its original wording that you can't go back would've been incomplete anyway

and now that I've written that, the screenshot still remains part of a good answer

Ullallulloo

Yeah, that looks good now.

@RedRiderX Try desura.com/games/crayon-chronicles

It plays extremely similar to Cardinal Quest. Bit more in-depth.

@RedRiderX whoa I didn't even know there was a sequel

wait yes I did

awesome

@RedRiderX But yeah, I recommend you give Crayon Chronicles a look, it's really nice.

RedRiderX

@GnomeSlice This is the third time you have recommended this to me.

I might try, eventually.

GnomeSlice

It is?

Hahahahaha whoops

Anyone who owns CC 1 will get CC2 free of charge?

That seems like a strange business model

Also I knew that too apparently, I commented on it

desura.com/games/cardinal-quest/news/cardinal-quest-ii

Er, anyone who paid before the date of the post

RedRiderX

@GnomeSlice Yeah I'm not really that interested in CQ 1.

GnomeSlice

It's alright, but pretty barebones.

I bought it on Android a little bit ago and somehow managed to beat it for the first time

Not a bad game, for what it is.

@RedRiderX indiedb.com/games/bloodcrusher-ii

RedRiderX

@GnomeSlice And available as a flash game online, right?

GnomeSlice

1:58 AM

@RedRiderX I dunno, is it?

Actually I think the demo might be, yeah

Sounds right

RedRiderX

@GnomeSlice kongregate.com/games/idoyehi/cardinal-quest

GnomeSlice

Yeah, I remember now.

Cool.

RedRiderX

@GnomeSlice Second time you recommended that this week.

GnomeSlice

I think I got CQ1 for free when he was doing this free promotion thing

Paid like $1 for it on Android

RedRiderX

You should really keep a spreadsheet. :P

GnomeSlice

2:00 AM

@RedRiderX My memory is shit okay

@RedRiderX There's an idea!

@RedRiderX What about this one store.steampowered.com/app/235720

Did I recommend it already too

@RedRiderX Also it's not out, I just recommended you track it

RedRiderX

@GnomeSlice Eerh, maybe.

I've seen it around.

GnomeSlice

@RedRiderX Try the demo, it's so unique.

I finally got around to it and I played it for like 3 hours straight.

Gonna pick it up when I get some $$$

The gameplay is awesome

RedRiderX

@GnomeSlice Yes, but it's the second time you've done it this week.

GnomeSlice

@RedRiderX Sorry.

I always forget

RedRiderX

@GnomeSlice It's cool.

2:02 AM

I expect it will show up on indiegamestand at some point

The devs have expressed interest

You should probably keep a spreadsheet though.

Q: 3ds Animal Crossing same save on different game cards

I rent (and still have) Animal Crossing New Leaf. Since I might buy it later and I have gotten pretty far into the game, is there a way for me to keep the save so when I buy the game later I can use the same save?

Maybe I will

If it happens again

Did you play KAG with the IGS guys this weekend? I missed it

@GnomeSlice Yep.

I gotta try the beta at some point

They launched it officially like yesterday

RedRiderX

I think I'm marginally better at Beta than Classic.

Also you should play mobiloid.com

RedRiderX

2:08 AM

@GnomeSlice Yeah you've already recommended that, and I've commented on it to you in the past week I think.

For fuck's sake

Better start that spreadsheet. :P

animal-crossing-new-leaf

Should we generalize that to be about all 3DS games?

Because Animal Crossing have nothing built-in to do it.

Actually, some other games might have some way to though...

And New Leaf does have that mechanic too if you're not a mayor, I guess...

in Android, 35 secs ago, by jeffreylin_

Weird, "system" asked for SuperUser permission, so I allowed it. It rebooted my device? It was really fast, which is odd because I don't have Fastboot. I didn't see the Samsung screen, but I did see the tmobile screen flash by. What was that?
