12:19 PM
I'll finally be driving a truck tomorrow
Please be warned
 
A real truck or a Euro Truck Simulator truck?
If the former, which states should we all avoid?
 
@PrivatePansy thanks for the warning, I will be staying out of asia for the time being
 
The former. You should avoid driving anywhere in the eastern parts of Singapore
Actually, just avoid Singapore altogether and you'll be fine
 
Avoiding Asia entirely does seem safest. Maybe Australia too.
I've accepted your answer. If you are wanting rep, you'll get more for an accepted answer than you will for an upvote. — DavidYell 2 days ago
Unsure if he realizes they aren't mutually exclusive.
 
Indeed. Singapore does hold exercises in Australia regularly, so you can avoid being run over by me in the Australian outback in the very unlikely case that I'll be shipped out there to knock over kangaroos operate vehicles
 
12:28 PM
@PrivatePansy just keep out until the 3rd please :P
 
Clearly they need Asia Truck Simulator.
 
@Sterno Hey, at least it'll have a final boss
 
@DavidYell I'm happy I could help, upvoting the answer would make my day :) — Young Guilo 2 days ago
This guy.
 
I'm the sub-boss
 
@Sterno In the meantime Just Cause 2 will suffice
 
12:29 PM
Just Cause 2 is so much better with the mod that lets you have more than one cable attachment thingy
Attach airplane to dude to car to lamp post = hilarity
 
@Sterno the lamp post wins?
 
If you jack up the tensile strength of the cables to infinite, yes
Otherwise I think it snaps on the person
 
@Sterno as in, the person is snapped?
 
That would be awesome, but no. The connection breaks with them
I play with 100% strength though. Cables that detach are no fun.
 
aw snap. I would've loved a snapshot of that.
 
12:31 PM
 
You could post it on Reddit and get karma in a snap.
(I'm done, I'm terrible at puns, terrible or good alike)
 
@badp Please stop pushing this pun to its breaking point

@GamingTopicsFromOutside Not enough tags.
 
Who needs flags when you've got delete votes?
 
Yes, but I dont have delete votes =p

MOD ABUSE
 
What's this derp about an Xbox One price drop? Not like I haven't heard the rumor 50 times before, but it seems to be going around again
IMO price and Kinect are the least likely things they're going to 180 on
 
1:25 PM
Sentinel is the new IGS feature, for anyone interested. indiegamestand.com
 
I find trying to get SO rep to be an exercise in frustration.
 
@badp AH I WANT TO WATCH
Okay I have to go again, I don't have actual internet access right now.
 
I'm glad Arqade (typically) doesn't have users who drop a half-assed answer just to get their timestamp in early, then edit it up.
 
There, Asia Truck Simulator 2
 
that's not quite it, the cargo's fixed with the rest of the vehicle
 
1:30 PM
@Sterno Just answer the dumbest questions people ask as they come in even--no, especially--when you know it's a dupe
 
Yeah. Most of my rep there was from what in retrospect was a really stupid question.
 
Never ever write a full answer or search for duplicates; these time-wasters will cost your precious rep, all for the pitiful sake of helping people and making the site a better place.
 
@BenBrocka We should change the site into an elaborate duplica of Papers Please
 
FAE
@Sterno Except during contests.
 
Asia Truck Simulator 2: Combat DLC
 
1:32 PM
@FAE Indeed.
 
Shortly after this the truck exploded with me inside
I assure you this is an accurate simulation of what will happen when I get behind the wheels of a truck tomorrow

@mana sorry man I ended up passing out early from cold meds and was just generally feeling like garbage last night. Your country has made me sick!

Q: help installing a game with no install

Jamesi recently downloaded a game called amnesia the dark descent in a tar.gz format but while going through the files i saw no install option or any read me files, ive looked up on the internet but with no success. im new-ish to this kind of thing does anyone have a solution to how to get round this...

 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Soon your blood will be replaced with maple syrup and you'll begin to feel well again as you acclimate to the enviornment
 
@GamingTopicsFromOutside I'm sure it was a totally legit copy
 
@BenBrocka Of course it allows them to search with no prior authorization. It's a computer program. It doesn't care.
 
1:39 PM
My computer programs care. :(
 
@GnomeSlice Maybe he's old?
 
@PrivatePansy JUST CAUSE 2
 
Probably a sockpuppet of @Sterno's.
 
@PrivatePansy I know exactly which base you started from too
 
1:46 PM
@GnomeSlice Page not found
 
Man I have played that game too much.
@ShotgunNinja Hah, badp deleted him
okay no internet gotta go
 
I could use a sockpuppet.
 
@Sterno What about me? :(
 
@OrigamiRobot My sockpuppet wouldn't troll me with lifehacks
 
It'd be the perfect cover!
 
1:49 PM
Morning, Bridge
 
@OrigamiRobot My sockpuppet wouldn't have more rep than me. That'd make me the sockpuppet.
 
@Sterno Again, perfect cover!
 
If you have the same rep as your sockpuppet, what happens then?
Some kind of recursive sock-puppetry?
Sock puppets all the way down?
 
I'll leave you with this:
 
@fredley Sock puppets inside of sock puppets. Needless to say, it's....not pretty.
 
1:56 PM
 
flags as offensive
 
@fredley Whoa, that is completely inappropriate for the Bridge. Some of us are viewing this at work!
 
Oh yeah, that's it....

2:01 PM
@Sterno nice hair, btw, @fredley.
 
@badp I had my hair cut yesterday. Your comment creeped me the fuck out for a few seconds there.
 
Good morning, Bridge
 
@fredley It is pretty short
 
FAE
@fredley Those are such a bad idea to use for that.
 
@badp ಠ_ಠ
@FAE I've never tried. They wouldn't be a good idea though, quick-release is kinda-important. As is comfort.

Q: Will Technic Platforms Go To 1.6?

EthanBaconGamingEver since 1.6 came out I have been wondering if it will ever be possible to have Technic platforms in 1.6 due to the new way Minecraft runs. I would definatly like this because Minecraft 1.6 runs so much better and this would help clear up some lag in Tekkit. So will Technic be updated to 1.6?

Q: How to survive a design hack

verI wanted to do a design hack in a beginner's game of AI War. I've done some hacking before to lower the AI threat, but the "expected AI response to hacking" was "Low". So I produced the maximum of all my unit types [about 4 types, 4 levels each], stationed a few cloaked design hackers on the pla...

 
FAE
@fredley Too easy to pull too tight, tend to be too narrow to be safe about circulation and not cutting into skin, and you'd have to make sure you had really sharp EMT shears or something. There's better methods with less hassle.

@FAE Yeah.

ANYWAY, good afternoon all. I got lost on my biking home today, yay.
 
@FAE you saw new neighbourhoods!
 
I didn't know YouTube sex was a thing.
 
found new streets!
@LessPop_MoreFizz It's not supposed to be a thing indeed.
 
Well, whatever it is, it doesn't recognize your specialness as an individual.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I am imagining a bunch of 1 second clips spliced together in a playlist so that it says what you want it to say.
 
FAE
2:10 PM
@badp Yeah, luckily it was on the way home from the appointment and not to my appointment but still. Though I still got minorly lost on the way, but that was less so.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm sure there's a euphemism that you could make with buffering and popup ads. Totally tantalizing.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz It requires a special dongle

Where is Mark Trapp when we need him most.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz on Twitter.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Gay Hitler was a lot more fun than...the other one
 
@BenBrocka That's Dr. Gay Hitler to you
 
Also George Washington hitler.
 
He didn't spend 5 years in dental school to be called plain-old Gay!
 
2:15 PM
just 5 years?
Dentists and stuff have to study 7 years for a Master's here, let alone a PhD.
...a BSc is enough to be called a "Dr." here, but we digress.
 
Well he died in 1946, I would imagine school lasted shorter back then
 
Dentists don't have a phd, they have a DDS which is a professional doctors degree (much like an MD)
 
@KevinvanderVelden I have my doubts, but fine.
 
That said, dental school is 4 years, but requires a 4 year undergrad degree as well, so net 8 years of education.
 
@badp Wait, what?
 
2:19 PM
@OrigamiRobot yes.
 
@OrigamiRobot Italians are crazy. This is not new.

PhDs in dentistry are for people that want to go into research/academia.
 
I am a doctor in Italy!
 
@TimStone @badp is proof of that.
 
@OrigamiRobot Did you get a degree in Italy? :P
 
2:20 PM
I demand @badp call me Dr. Origami Robot
 
@OrigamiRobot Only if you call me back Dott. Ing. @badp. :P
 
@OrigamiRobot You should change your name to Dr. Origami Robot and then everyone who responds to you will be forced to call you that.
 
@StrixVaria This is a fantastic idea.
 
@Wipqozn He's not proof, just a data point
 
Although changing his name to Dr. Origami Robert would be better.
 
2:21 PM
@Wipqozn Dr. Origami Rob
 
You do remember when I changed my name to "badp Dr." :P
 
@badp No.
 
@GnomeSlice should change his name to DrSexRobot
 
I miss @SexRobot
 
hahaah, oh Sexrobot. That was hilarious.

@StrixVaria hahahaha, that was so great.

@SaintWacko It's a sex robot. Very advanced model.
 
@SaintWacko It's a layer cake

If someone pings @SexRobot does it ping me?
 
nope.
 
@GnomeSlice No.

Q: Which frames are more suited for PvE?

JLaBellaThis question may be based on opinion (and if it is close it, I wont be mad), but I was wondering which battleframes are "clearly" designed more for PvE or PvP. For example, the Nighthawk Recon is better designed for PvE due to its AOE abilities and explosive sniper rifle. I was wondering if the ...

 
@OrigamiRobot Yes.
I made my current one myself too.

@GnomeSlice I detect a theme

@fredley What the hell is 'rapeseed'...
 
@GnomeSlice It's made from rape
 
Rapeseed (Brassica napus), also known as rape, oilseed rape, rapa, rappi, rapaseed (and, in the case of one particular group of cultivars, canola), is a bright yellow flowering member of the family Brassicaceae (mustard or cabbage family). The name derives from the Latin for turnip, rāpa or rāpum, and is first recorded in English at the end of the 14th century. Older writers usually distinguished the turnip and rape by the adjectives round and long (-rooted), respectively. See also Brassica napobrassica, which may be considered a variety of Brassica napus. Some botanists include the close...
 
2:58 PM
> What if your greatest achievement was looking like the most realistic pile of bird poo ever to crawl the earth? You’d be this spider, which spends its life happily looking like excrement.
 
btw "rape" is "turnips" in Italian
 
Nature, you cray.
 
@TimStone I like the horned spider, looks like something out of Patapon
 
Woo! Light at the end of the tunnel!
 
DON'T GO TOWARDS THE LIGHT CAROL ANN!
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz That sounds more like a conspiracy theory than actual real life.
 
@fbueckert except that it is real life, as detailed in the blog post.
The Heroin did actually show up after all...
 
Unfortunately we have psychos in real life too. And they're usually not as funny as they are in Borderlands
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's...kinda bad. You crazy 'muricans and your off the wall attempts to silence critics.
 
@fbueckert This was Russians.
 
3:10 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz It's still loading. I will read once it has.
 
Yeah doesn't load for me either. Probably excessive load
 
Of course, it being Russians explains everything!
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Good lord. How do you prove that.
 
@badp the links at the start of the article point to a track record of similar harassment.
I.e. he got SWATted pretty hard.
 
Oh the page actually loaded
I might print a PDF
 
3:17 PM
He's probably getting DDOSed. Again.
 
FAE
@SaintWacko I do not have any copies and the sources I have access to do not seem to either, sorry!
 
@FAE That's all right, @AshleyNunn found it for me :)
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Ok, that's a ton of effort to discredit someone.
I wonder what would've happened if he hadn't infiltrated that forum.
 
@fbueckert Honestly I find it odd that a credit card scammer doesn't have $200 of disposable income to just do it
without creating the paper trail that ultimately saved Krebs
 
@badp He's probably a known entity to law enforcement around there.
I doubt it would've worked, even if it hit him unaware.
 
3:32 PM
@fbueckert It would've been harder.
 
@badp Yeah, it would have. Not that much harder though, I bet.
 
I mean, is there a correct response to "What do I do if somebody mails me free heroine?"
 
@badp Yes. It's, "Call the cops ASAP"
 
You might not even know it's heroin.

There there. Let's reach a compromise. America the continent is dumb.
 
@badp Which one?
 
3:42 PM
@badp Both of them?
 
@GnomeSlice All of it.
 
@badp there are two 'america' continents.
 
Canada made me sick, qed
 
@GnomeSlice Depends on who you ask.
 
3:43 PM
@GnomeSlice Man made rivers aren't enough to split a continent in two
 
@Wipqozn No it doesn't.
 
@GnomeSlice Yes it does.
 
@badp No, but a map is.
@Wipqozn No, it doesn't.
 
A continent is one of several very large landmasses on Earth. They are generally identified by convention rather than any strict criteria, with up to seven regions commonly regarded as continents—they are (from largest in size to smallest): Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia. In geology, continents are described by means of tectonic plates. Plate tectonics is the process and study of the movement, collision and division of continents, earlier known as continental drift. Definitions and application Conventionally, "continents are understoo...
 
North America and South America
Are you guys retarded
 
3:43 PM
@GnomeSlice Maps that specify two different continents are wrong, obviously
 
@badp So you live on Africeurasia?
3
 
Afro-Eurasia, also Afrasia, Eurafrasia is the largest landmass on Earth. It may be defined as a supercontinent, with the term being a portmanteau of its constituent parts Africa and Eurasia (further divided into Europe and Asia) which are joined together at the Isthmus of Suez. Afro-Eurasia encompasses 84,980,532 square kilometers and has a population of approximately 6 billion people, or roughly 85% of the world population. It is also known as the Old World, as opposed to the Americas, Antarctica and Oceania, which are known as the New World. The mainland of Afro-Eurasia has been re...
 
@StrixVaria No, but Africa is slamming into Eurasia so it's only a matter of time ;)
 
@Fluttershy My review queue seems normal now.
 
3:45 PM
The Isthmus of Suez is the narrow strip of land that lies between the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, linking the continents of Africa and Asia. It is located within the country of Egypt and contains the Suez Canal, linking the Mediterranean and Red Seas. Like many isthmuses, it is a location of great strategic value. Both continents were previously one large continental mass. During the Paleogene and Neogene periods, approximately 65 to 2.6 million years ago, the large fault structures of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aqaba developed. See also * Sinai Peninsula References
 
@Wipqozn That thumbnail invalidates whatever credibility you might think this has.
 
@GnomeSlice tl;dr There's no universally agreed upon definition of continent or what the worlds continents are.
 
@Wipqozn wow it picked the animated image
 
@BenBrocka YEah, I was surprised by that too.
 
3:46 PM
@Wipqozn None of these schemes include Oceania and are therefore all stupid.

@GnomeSlice Man made rivers aren't enough to split a continent in two
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm not even aware of a man made river between Eurasia and Africa
 
The Suez Canal ( ') is an artificial sea-level waterway in Egypt, connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. Opened in November 1869 after 10 years of construction work, it allows transportation by water between Europe and Asia without navigation around Africa. The northern terminus is Port Said and the southern terminus is Port Tawfiq at the city of Suez. Ismailia lies on its west bank, from the half-way point. When first built, the canal was long and deep. After multiple enlargements, the canal is long, deep and wide as of 2010. It consists of the northern access channel ...

@LessPop_MoreFizz That's an awkward line between Eurasia and Africa anyway. If you wanted to draw one, it'd be a little northern than that
 
3:50 PM
@GnomeSlice Of course it does.
 
At any rate, it's a matter of time before Eurafrasia is a thing that exists so if that's what it takes to satiate you then fine: Eurafrasia. Four continents should be enough for everybody.
 
@badp Afro-Eurasia is the preferred term, you Eurocentric harlot.
 
 
I think we should refer to everything as "Canada" and "Not Canada".
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz You're so neutral, your face is bland.
 
3:52 PM
@badp According to wikipedia, it already is a thing.
 
I'm sure @fbueckert will back me up on this!
 
@OrigamiRobot Well it'll be hard to deny once Africa slams into Italy and Spain and Portugal and whatnot anyway
 
@Wipqozn Not Canada is unimportant, and therefore can be ignored.
 
It'll be fun to see what happens of the waters inbetween!
 
@fbueckert Exactly! high five
 
3:53 PM
@Wipqozn high five

@Wipqozn For a couple hours.
 
@fbueckert We should hunt some monsters.
Did you ever reach G-Rank, @OrigamiRobot?
 
3:54 PM
@Wipqozn I might be working. I'll let you know.
@Wipqozn Yes, he did.
 
@fbueckert Okay.
 
@badp Are you implying that the middle east is in Africa?
 
@OrigamiRobot I still don't see how that makes America a continent that doesn't exist
 
@fbueckert Fantastic. Does he have G-Rank armor yet?
 
Because if so, you are more geographically challenged than I could've imagined.
 
3:54 PM
@Wipqozn Most likely not.
 
If not we could farm some great jaggis or something. I wouldn't mind finally getting myself a G-Rank gunner set.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz No, it just rolls more easily off the toungue.
 
We can point and laugh at him in his substandard armor set.
 
@badp Who said it does?
 
@fbueckert That sounds like fun!
 
3:55 PM
For all I care it could be called Awesomia. Makes life easier for us all.
 
@Wipqozn No :(
 
Wooo, new wallet launched on IGS
 
@OrigamiRobot Excellent. We can farm you a Great Jaggi set and I can get the gunner version as well.
 
@Wipqozn I need a few more Volvi parts, anyways!
And with a maxed Slime weapon, even G-Rank Jaggis drop incredibly fast.
 
@Wipqozn I don't even have the HR armor I want!
 
3:57 PM
I haven't done any gunning in ages since I don't have a G-rank Gunner armor. I've been holding out for one of my late game sets.
@OrigamiRobot It doesn't matter anymore.
 
CC @RedRiderX
 
At any rate, translating from the Italian wikipedia
 
@Wipqozn In fact, it's completely useless.
 
@Wipqozn HR matters for my weapons.
