@GnomeSlice A very old spoiler. And wrong movie / book, as it has been pointed out.
 
Gandalf is Luke's gay father
 
FAE
Huh, apparently your Bacon location persists between loading your game.
I wish I knew this earlier.
 
@FAE What?
 
Bacon Location is a great band name.

5:06 PM
@SaintWacko Psychonauts.
 
@FAE Ah
Haven't played it
 
@AshleyNunn Hollywood is required to portray military in movies inaccurately. This could be something small like a patch being in the wrong place on the uniform, or incorrect speech on radios or whatevs. But there always has to be something wrong.
 
@spugsley I haven't even seen this thing you're talking about
Is it fanfic?
 
@badp GOOD :p
@badp WAIT WHAT
 
I KNEW IT.
 
5:17 PM
It's definitely NOT a fanfic
 
THERE IS NO DENYING THE TRUTH
 
@AshleyNunn Number Nine... number Nine.... number Nine...
 
it's an ART

SEE, ART!
 
@Fluttershy From Title 10, U.S. Code:
CHAPTER 45—THE UNIFORM
§ 772. When wearing by persons not on active duty authorized
(f) While portraying a member of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps, an actor in a theatrical or motion-picture production may wear the uniform of that armed force if the portrayal does not tend to discredit that armed force.
 
@badp It is @Wipqozn x @GnomeSlice fanfic.
 
5:18 PM
@spugsley SEE? WHITE LADY x SLAB OF STONE fanfic.
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
 
:OOOOOOOOOOOOOO Y U DO DIS?
 
@spugsley ARE YOU INTO SLABS OF STONE?
 
O_O
 
IS THAT WHY IAN HASN'T BEEN ON CHAT FOR A WHILE?
 
O__________O
 
5:19 PM
DID YOU TURN HIM INTO A SLAB OF STONE, @spugsley? IS THAT IT??
GODDAMMIT.
 
why do you hate me? ;.;
 
@Ullallulloo Huh. They always told us it was required. O_o
 
@spugsley Because I don't want to become stone!
 
@badp that would require me being into you. So, you're good
IF I EVEN LIKED STONE
 
@Fluttershy It may be easier to just portray it incorrectly than risk their work being taken as discrediting the armed force
 
5:21 PM
@spugsley SEE? I HAVE TO TAKE PREVENTIVE MEASURES
BETTER SORRY THAN STONE
 
FAE
@spugsley Well, stone does get pretty hard. >_>
 
@FAE this is why I love you
 
FAE
@spugsley <3
 
also. Nice fanfic. Putting it in photo format was original
 
@badp lol the funniest part about this is you still aren't as bad @Wipqozn :3
 
@spugsley Being bad at being bad is my thing! :P
 
@FAE I know something else that can get pretty hard ;)
 
@Blem omg wat o-o
 
Hmm, apparently there's a new technique to guess sensitive information in SSL pages... because of the compression algorithm used in responses?
 
@spugsley diamonds!
 
FAE
5:24 PM
@Blem Yeah, but man, the wait...
 
@Powerlord Yikes
 
Although the dumbest part of this has got to be the part that goes
> HTTP compression is an essential technology that can't be replaced or discarded without inflicting considerable pain on both website operators and end users.
Which is funny, because on Apache, the most widely used webserver in the world, compression is off by default.
You have to set up mod_deflate first.

@lesspop I have been sneezing all day. The plan to infect my country apparently is in full effect. :(
 
5:31 PM
@AshleyNunn bless you until further notice
 
user15026
@krazer thank you.

Q: Why is my account not Premium after adding funds to my Steam Wallet?

shayneI have added funds to my Steam account and used it to buy a game (but I have not added it to my library). I also believe I have been on Steam for about 30 days, as I have been playing since the 1st of July and it is now August 1st. Why is my account still not considered to be Premium?

 
"Cancelling today’s meeting."
Love getting an email reading such
 
Aww, I can't vote to close a question as a duplicate of itself :(
 
user15026
5:35 PM
@saintwacko wait what
 
user15026
@fae I have no idea who that is.....
 
@AshleyNunn That question, I almost tried to close it as a duplicate of itself, because I didn't realize the other one I saw that looked like the same thing was in fact the same question
 
@OrigamiRobot Fanfics involving me are the best fanfics.
 
Then I decided to actually try it, and it wouldn't let me
 
user15026
@saintwacko I like your science. Also, sorry I haven't gotten those books to you yet.
 
user15026
5:36 PM
I have been busy and sick and busy.
 
@AshleyNunn I wish "I like your science" worked as a pickup line.
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn He does the Dos Equis commercials and shows up in memes a lot because of it.
 
@OrigamiRobot Who's to say it doesn't? :P
 
user15026
@origami it would work on me but I am an odd case.
 
@SaintWacko It would on me.
 
user15026
5:37 PM
@fae ah, okay, that guy.
 
@AshleyNunn No worries, I'm reading Niven's Dream Park series right now
 
user15026
@origami I like your science. ;)
 
swoon
 
Halfway through 2 of 3, then I'll move on to my science-y stuff
@OrigamiRobot I didn't know robots could swoon
 
user15026
@saintwacko good choice! I am reading the Dresden Files finally.
 
5:38 PM
Swoon()
@AshleyNunn Yay!
Then you should watch the TV show
 
Nov 5 '12 at 22:06, by OrigamiRobot
Lindsey Stirling taught me how to swoon.
 
@OrigamiRobot Oh, okay
 
Why did the German person say No 3 times? He was trying to get AshleyNunn to play Nein Nein Nein
puts the King of Terrible Jokes crown on
 
user15026
Hahaha hahaha oh that was a terrible joke.
 
FAE
@SaintWacko I have heard eeeeeeeeh things about the show
 
user15026
5:41 PM
I realized today I am able to tell time roughly in some areas of my city based on the buses I see.
 
So, I started watching the anime Danganronpa this past weekend. It's almost like a cross between 999 and Phoenix Wright.
It's based on a game that... is also like a cross between them, but isn't out in the US.
 
@Powerlord Oh, a lot of folks I know are enjoying it.
 
@GraceNote It helps that Funimation is releasing subtitled versions within a day of it airing in Japan.
That'd be on... Saturdays, I think.
 
Oh, it is? That's actually pretty fancy.
 
5:44 PM
That reminds me...
kicks Google
 
Grace, quick question
 
Thanks for not giving me a link to Funimation's page for it.
 
If I want to go forth with that proposal for another close reason, do I do it on Meta. Gaming or Meta.SO?
 
Gives me a link to the Funimation News page and other parts of their site, but not the page for the actual show
 
@Retrosaur Gaming
 
5:46 PM
@Retrosaur We don't need another close reason, we need custom close reasons to display in the blurb.
 
Danganronpa: The Animation. Subtitled episodes are under Videos.
Only 4 episodes so far, though
 
...Capcom is making a new Breath of Fire. My first ever RPG series.
Except it's a freaking online mobile game.
 
user15026
@fbueckert that sucks.
 
@AshleyNunn Yeah, it does.
 
5:53 PM
It's actually just called Breath. Fire will be a $5 consumable IAP
 
and you can only breathe so much every day.
Oxygen tank $2/day.
 
@badp sucks at jokes
=P
How do you guys know it will be like that?
 
@GnomeSlice My dad's friend works for the dev.
 
@GnomeSlice Capcom has a history of shit mobile apps?
 
He worked at capcom? Cool.
 
5:57 PM
@GnomeSlice IT IS JOKES THAT I AM BEING BAD AT
 
@fbueckert It does?
 
@GnomeSlice Look up Xrossover.
It's a dumbed down version of Mega Man X.
And a pretty crappy port.
 
@fbueckert The Ultimate Basketball Training Vest.
 
@fbueckert Or was it a port of the GBC Mega Man Xtreme?!
(which was a port of Mega Man X)
 
Yeah I can't find a game by that name
 
5:58 PM
@fbueckert This never existed.
(It's also Xover anyway)
 
@GraceNote Ah, that's what I was looking for.
Couldn't find the name of it.
 
besides it wasn't as much as a joke as a jab at many freemium models
the energy mechanic is pretty widespread
 
2 mins ago, by GnomeSlice
@fbueckert The Ultimate Basketball Training Vest.
 
At least the excerpt is terrible.
 
@Ullallulloo lol
 
6:03 PM
It was written by the dev of the game, it looks like.
Like, the user's name was "Parmen", with "parmen.com" as his website.
 
What if I CAN win on Spock's board, tag wiki?! WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW
 
@GraceNote That was just a giant "Fuck you" to Mega Man fans from Capcom.
 
@FAE Have you seen it? I really liked it
 
@Wipqozn Hence the sentence before.
 
@Wipqozn Just like no Legends 3 :(
 
6:05 PM
@Wipqozn CapCom has being doing that for several years now.
What was it they did on MegaMan's 25th anniversary again?
Oh yeah, they released a PC game starring... Street Fighter characters.
and released all sorts of things like 3DS cases. There are no Megaman games for the 3DS.
 
Wasn't that mostly a "fan" project anyway?
 
@badp Not mostly, completely.
 
> 3D Tri-Dimensional
 
@Wipqozn Capcom lawyers contributed!!
 
@badp By not contributing
 
6:08 PM
It doesn't mean graphics either, because it calls regular chess "regular 2D classic chess"
 
@Wipqozn Pretty sure they only thing they're done lately that weren't fuck yous have been the releases on virtual console and Mega Man in Smash Bros
 
@fbueckert I think they got some kind of guarantee that the lawyers would continue not contributing
before Capcom... ceases and desists itself?
 
@BenBrocka Mega Man on a console whose only Mega Man titles in recent memory were multi-platform titles. In other words, they're about 4 Smash Bros games late.
Well, no, because even with the Nintendo 64, the only Mega Man game for it was a crappy port of Mega Man Legends.
 
@Powerlord They've been generations late plenty of times. Because who the hell remembered Kid Icarus and Ice Climbers?
 
@BenBrocka The cool kids.
 
6:11 PM
@BenBrocka I remembered Kid Icarus. Then again, at least those two are Nintendo characters.
 
Cool meaning cold. like ice.
As in..ICE Climbers!
HAHAHAHAH
 
Krater is amazing
 
Mega Man looks boring in the new Smash game anyway (even though I don't think I've seen any gameplay...).
 
Though GBA and DS had some exclusive Mega Man games though
 
Also, I heard somewhere (probably Did You Know Gaming) that Ice Climbers actually replaced a different character that they had to cut.
 
FAE
6:11 PM
@SaintWacko No, I've just seen some of the casting choices and such.
 
Heck if I can remember who, though.
 
er, NSFW

Q: In Freeciv, can team mates with alliance build cities in the others territory?

JohannesMe and someone else play Freeciv. We are in one team, plus we have an alliance. I'd like to build a city in his territory. This has been possible recently, I think. We have 2.3.4 now, and pressing 'b' has no effect. No error message show up after pressing 'b'. "Build" in the menu bar is gray for...

 
@StrixVaria Hit it on purpose, he did.
 
6:27 PM
@StrixVaria Wow
 
@AshleyNunn shoryuken.com/2013/08/01/… Squiggly is all colored in now!
@StrixVaria Wow, impressive contro--oh.
 
@BenBrocka That was impressive control. And then a dick move.
 
@fbueckert Maybe he was so relieved, he forgot to actually take it out of reverse.
 
@OrigamiRobot With that kind of control, I kinda doubt it.
 
@fbueckert Who says it was on purpose?
 
6:40 PM
@OrigamiRobot Looks pretty deliberate to me.
 
Why would they purposefully hit the car?
 
Why would you do that maneuver to begin with
 
I see "OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD phew FUCK!"

@badp Maybe to turn around?
 
@Ullallulloo WHO WAS YOUR DRIVER INSTRUCTOR
 
6:41 PM
Although there are much easier ways of doing so.
 
Never attribute to mailice what can be attributed to stupidity.

@OrigamiRobot Never attribute to stupidity what can be attributed to teenagers.
 
@badp That hand-drawn item is not a circle. -1
 
@Sconibulus There is a hand-drawn bonus circle in the loop of the red line.
 
6:44 PM
@fbueckert What's the difference?
 
@badp So there is! My apologies, +1
 
I don't find EA that unoriginal.
But maybe that's why he left?
I dunno, I suck at knowledge.
 
@GnomeSlice Lost Planet 3 is published by EA, no?
 
@fbueckert Oh, is it? Man I can't wait for that game.
 
6:51 PM
Some of the stuff EA released this year:
 
btw
speaking of questionable driving maneuvers
 
The Sims 3: Monte Vista
Need for Speed: Most Wanted
Dead Space 3
Shank 2
Battlefield 3
ALL sequels.
Not a single original game in the mix.
 
There's nothing wrong with sequels.
 
Sometimes in Sicily, when people want to park in a row of cars... uuuhh... like this
 
@GnomeSlice Not a bit original, though.
 
6:53 PM
[:|   ] [:|   ] [:|   ]         [:|   ]
 
Hence why it's ironic he's bitching and moaning about unoriginality.
 
Sometimes they'll get in there with the front of their care, get on the sidewalk, then align them in the hole in reverse
 
@fbueckert He's right though
 
instead of going ahead of the slot and reversing all the way through
 
@fbueckert Sequels don't have to be unoriginal by definition. He's talking about like mirroring the gameplay and aesthetic and everything between stuff like famrvill or pocketville or whateverville
Which is pretty bad these days
 
6:54 PM
...is it every bit as strange, weird and uncommon as it sounds?
 
@GnomeSlice Yeah, but then we can't just mindlessly hate on EA.
 
@fbueckert Eh, not releasing new IP isn't quite the same as releasing multiple Angry Birds clones
 
EA IS HITLER
 
@badp What
 
That's what we want.
 
6:54 PM
@fbueckert No, it's published by Capcom.
 
@Ullallulloo I knew that.
 
@BenBrocka I think he's right, yes. Games needs to be more original.
 
I thoguht they were the developer maybe
 
@GnomeSlice @badp is talking to himself.
 
EAville
 
6:55 PM
No, I know what he said, but what he said sounds terrifying
 
I just find it funny that originality was EA's antithesis under his watch.
 
Especially if you're a pedestrian on the sidewalk
 
I looked through the top apps on Android the other day, at least a third were all some variation or mix between makeup games, pimple popping, bejeweled, dragonvale clone or X vs Zombies
 
> Yeah, it was Riccitello who insisted on spending tons of money developing new IP’s. Dead Space, Mirror’s Edge etc. They didn’t sell very well because people only buy Call of Duty games.
@fbueckert ^
 
@GnomeSlice Yes. It's... quite a bit simpler as a maneuver, too.
 
6:55 PM
Also, @badp, I'm really not sure what you're talking about. But people suck at parking, so I'm sure I agree with you.
 
@GnomeSlice Two.
 
Just waiting for Makeup Dragon vs Pimple Zombies HD at this point
 
Out of HOW many sequels?
 
@fbueckert It's not exactly a small undertaking you know.
 
@GnomeSlice And making a sequel is?
There's a bit more risk in developing new IP, but it's sort of hypocritical to bitch about being unoriginal when that's what your company did.
 
6:57 PM
@fbueckert It's still a lot of work to make a AAA sequel, but fabricating an entire world, characters, plot, theme, ambience, everything from scratch is certainly more
Not to mention the fact that making something compelling is quite difficult
 
Two original IPs do not outweigh the massive glut of sequels EA shat out over the last few years.
 
You're saying they're all bad because they're sequels?
 
Steam's screenshot uploading server is awful.
 
Which ones did you play
@Ullallulloo Steam's everything server is awful.
 
@GnomeSlice I love sequels. The originality is 10% or less that of new IP.
 
6:59 PM
@GnomeSlice Their Spite Server is pretty effective.
3
 
@OrigamiRobot I bet it runs on the same server Capcom runs their Desire Sensor.
 
@fbueckert Oh. Why did you use the term 'shat' then?
 
@GnomeSlice Their Money Making Server seems to be doing pretty well.
