The Bridge

@Scootaloo Yep. Now find me an instance before where I "had it out for you". Then we can talk about this again. You were grumpy towards me, I'm grumpy towards you, deal with it. You have your options laid out.

Scootaloo

Except you said it kinder.

GnomeSlice

@Scootaloo What else do you expect us to do for you?

It's like real life.

Scootaloo

@FEichinger I've heard about this internet problem before. Do you live on top of a mountain somewhere or what?

That was a perfectly valid question.

user15026

12:03 AM

@Scootaloo There isn't really anything else to do

GnomeSlice

If someone is up in your jam you can kick him in the balls, tell him to screw off, or just leave.

fbueckert

1 min ago, by fbueckert

@Scootaloo Sounds like typical internet banter.

Scootaloo

If you live in an area with slow internet speed, expect to have problems.

fbueckert

I don't see how that's anyone having it out for anyone.

GnomeSlice

@Scootaloo Yeah, me.

FEichinger

12:04 AM

@Scootaloo I don't care if it's a valid question. What I've said since was also all valid. It's sarcasm and grumpy. But it's valid no less.

GnomeSlice

@Scootaloo For the record, I have a lot of problems with people in chat pretty frequently and I still manage to mostly have a good time.

Trent Hawkins

@Scootaloo Ignoring works, notice how @GnomeSlice is conversing with @fbueckert, but the opposite is not true?

GnomeSlice

Mostly just don't respond to shit if you don't like it.

@TrentHawkins Quiet you.

Scootaloo

@TrentHawkins What? is he ignored?

fbueckert

@TrentHawkins Had to. For my own sanity.

GnomeSlice

12:04 AM

@Scootaloo Yeah, he ignored me.

@fbueckert Oh, shut up you prick.

FEichinger

Not to mention that me taking offense to that statement is unrelated to that, it's related to your assumption that it's related to where I live (which is bullshit in itself). But I would have flagged it if it was out of line. It wasn't, but it pissed me off, still.

Scootaloo

@GnomeSlice Why? you're so nice.

FEichinger

@GnomeSlice Now, now.

GnomeSlice

@Scootaloo I'm annoying I guess.

@FEichinger gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah I was insulted

user15026

@GnomeSlice Dude, seriously, don't do this

GnomeSlice

12:05 AM

@AshleyNunn Well he kind of asked for it

I'm good though.

FEichinger

@GnomeSlice You're asking for a lot of things here, too.

GnomeSlice

Don't worry.

user15026

@GnomeSlice Not really

Scootaloo

@FEichinger Can we be friends or am I better off just ignoring you?

GnomeSlice

@Scootaloo Some people would disagree.

Ignoring people is dumb and anyone who does it loses my respect.

Scootaloo

12:06 AM

@GnomeSlice Probably, because we're more similar than you'd like to admit.

GnomeSlice

@Scootaloo I don't really know you well enough to comment on that.

user15026

.....okay, I am gonna step away before I need a trebuchet.

Scootaloo

@AshleyNunn A what?

Oil?

GnomeSlice

It's a type of catapult.

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn Can be delivered on demand!

Scootaloo

12:07 AM

I don't get it.

GnomeSlice

Which is a weird thing to need in this context.

FEichinger

@Scootaloo If you can't handle the way I talk to pretty much everyone here, you're better off ignoring me. This is how I talk when people annoy me, and there is no difference whether they're my friends or not. I have heated arguments with @fbueckert that get dirty sometimes, I tease @AshleyNunn to no end, and I would love to tell a lot of people to go shove it sometimes.

fbueckert

@FEichinger Yeah, we got at it with hammer and tongs sometimes.

GnomeSlice

@FEichinger So do it.

user15026

@FEichinger This is a very true statement

FEichinger

12:07 AM

@AshleyNunn hug :)

Scootaloo

@FEichinger I thought I was on your ignore list since that comment a long time ago.

FEichinger

@GnomeSlice You're high up on that list.

fbueckert

@Scootaloo Personally, based on what I know of your personality, I'd just recommend you ignore him and call it.

user15026

@FEichinger don't try to sweet talk me....

Scootaloo

Clearly I'm not since you get my messages, and can converse with me. So what would make you want to unignore me?

GnomeSlice

12:08 AM

@FEichinger I'm pretty sure everyone feels like that about me here. It makes me sad, but there's not much I can do about it.

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn :P

Scootaloo

@fbueckert What about my personality?

:/

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert Don't tell him what to do.

fbueckert

@Scootaloo Remember when you first came here?

GnomeSlice

@Scootaloo Don't listen to @fbueckert.

FEichinger

12:09 AM

@Scootaloo I told you already: I hadn't seen you here in ages and I figured I could make some space on my ignore list.

GnomeSlice

He likes to tell people what to do.

Scootaloo

@FEichinger It's unlimited afaik.

FEichinger

And right now, you're not annoying me enough to end up back on the list. What annoys me most about you is that you keep arguing about stuff over and over.

fbueckert

Sidenote: scanning for deposits is tedious and time consuming.

Scootaloo

@fbueckert Vaguely. I don't really want to.

fbueckert

12:10 AM

@Scootaloo I'm basing my judgement on that.

FEichinger

@Scootaloo So? I like to be able to keep the people I ignore in mind, when they're relevant in some way.

fbueckert

And really, if either one of you had ignored each other by now, this would no longer be something up for discussion.

Scootaloo

@fbueckert On the fact I can't remember?

I'm lost.

@fbueckert Ignoring one party won't magically solve any long-term issues though.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert Stop telling people to ignore each other.

Scootaloo

@GnomeSlice This.

fbueckert

12:11 AM

@Scootaloo Trying to be nice, here. I'll tell you straight out if you want, but I'm warning you now, it's going to be blunt and probably offend you.

Scootaloo

@fbueckert If you're going to bring my past chat into play, wouldn't I just be offending myself?

What sense does that make?

user15026

@GnomeSlice It can help sometimes, if personalities clash too much

Scootaloo

brb need to get a soda

fbueckert

Yeah, you're not getting it. That's fine. I'm just gonna leave it alone.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert If I had a nickel for every time you said 'you're not getting it' to me like I was dumb, I'd have a couple bucks.

@AshleyNunn I guess.... but you should be able to get along without the aid of the system

fbueckert

12:13 AM

Spam flags, ho!

user15026

@GnomeSlice I suppose, but sometimes that just isnt possible I guess

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn So, how's the latest Kairosoft game treating you?

Scootaloo

@fbueckert Please.

GnomeSlice

@AshleyNunn Or you're not trying hard enough ;)

user15026

@fbueckert which?

fbueckert

12:14 AM

@Scootaloo It's not worth the drama that's going to result.

@AshleyNunn I believe Pocket League Story 2 is the latest.

Trent Hawkins

@fbueckert gone

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert You don't know what's going to happen.

user15026

@fbueckert Right. I am not good at it. :(

fbueckert

Haven't gotten a new one since July. :(

@AshleyNunn If it make you feel better, neither am I.

GnomeSlice

Anybody here a spriter, or know any spriters who would be willing to work for next to nothing?

Scootaloo

12:15 AM

@fbueckert When you say things like "you don't get it" or similar things it seems like you're taking me for an idiot. Which I don't like, at all.

Please just tell me.

GnomeSlice

@Scootaloo He says those things to me all the time. I flag them but they get invalidated and I get shouted at for abusing flags.

Grace Note

@GnomeSlice I notice that we are exempt from needing to work for next-to-nothing if we are here. ♪

fbueckert

@Scootaloo And this is exactly what I'm talking about to begin with. I'm trying to be nice here. Just leave it alone, dude. For your own sake.

GnomeSlice

@GraceNote Everybody?

Also, do it for fun!

Scootaloo

@fbueckert Ugh.

GnomeSlice

12:16 AM

@fbueckert Stop telling him what to do, Jesus.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

FEichinger

@GnomeSlice We all could tell you the exact same thing.

GnomeSlice

Why can't everyone just chill the crap out

Grace Note

@GnomeSlice Your requirements here are either (A) Person is a spriter or (B) Person knows a spriter who will work for next-to-nothing. I'll qualify for (A) is basically what I'm hinting at.

GnomeSlice

@FEichinger I suppose.

Grace Note

@GnomeSlice Cursing kinda undermines the message you're getting at here.

Scootaloo

12:17 AM

@Gnome He's just going to ignore it, but thanks for the support.

GnomeSlice

@GraceNote Oh, now I get it.

@GraceNote It does?

I used it as an intensifier.

Grace Note

Right. Now, think about it for a sec.

FEichinger

"chill the shit out" doesn't sound all that chilly.

GnomeSlice

@GraceNote Still seems okay to me, but I changed it because you're smarter than me.

Grace Note

Chill -> Lower intensity
Intensifier -> Increase intensity

2

GnomeSlice

12:17 AM

About these things.

Generally.

Scootaloo

@GraceNote When I cursed before I got kicked.

FEichinger

"chill the crap out" doesn't sound any more chilly either.

Scootaloo

Well then I was cursing at someone.

So I guess it was different? meh

@Grace Didn't you answer a few of my LoL questions?

fbueckert

Fun fact: I got to genuinely use, "Far out, maaaaan" this weekend.

Grace Note

Point is, if you want things to stop, cursing is about as successful as shouting in which it isn't.

@Scootaloo Possibly.

Scootaloo

12:19 AM

@fbueckert You smoked marijuana?

Trent Hawkins

@Scootaloo I would pay to see this.

fbueckert

@Scootaloo ...no. How did you make that connection.

That's...not even close to anything I was alluding to.

Scootaloo

@fbueckert "far out" = faded

Grace Note

@fbueckert The phrase you noted is easily pictured by one stoned out of their gourd.

Trent Hawkins

Pay him more than the rent I already pay him, that is.

user15026

12:20 AM

@fbueckert Too much that 70s show for me, so....

GnomeSlice

Snoop Lion*

fbueckert

@GraceNote Ok, yeah, I suppose that was a general state of being for hippies in the 60's.

GnomeSlice

@GraceNote How do you smoke a gourd?

Scootaloo

@fbueckert It's not just for the 60's.

@GnomeSlice Put it in a pipe?

Grace Note

@GnomeSlice Really well.

fbueckert

12:21 AM

@TrentHawkins I still can barely get you to try various forms of alcohol.

GnomeSlice

@GraceNote You know, I didn't think of it that way.

Scootaloo

@fbueckert How would you even know if he did it or not?

The chat room has no video capability that I'm aware of.

Grace Note

Now, my plan is to go out there, kick some dragons, and probably and inevitably get my skull caved in by a rabbit. Don't break anything while I'm gone~

fbueckert

@Scootaloo Make some logical assumptions.

Scootaloo

@fbueckert Skype?

Trent Hawkins

12:22 AM

@fbueckert I never said I would be partaking. Just scientifically taking notes on your reaction to it.

Tim Stone

@GraceNote Oh, we will. We will. o_o

user15026

@TrentHawkins I think that would be good and interesting science

FEichinger

@GraceNote Go ahead, crazy person.

Scootaloo

@fbueckert Facetime? Twitch? How should I know?

Scootaloo

What do I win?

FEichinger

@Scootaloo Enlightenment.

fbueckert

My little sister has gotten rather good at it by this point.

Scootaloo

@FEichinger No cash prize?

FEichinger

@fbueckert I was having a real hard time not undermining that by spelling it out.

fbueckert

You're probably going to find it annoying at first. Most people do.

@FEichinger I appreciate the tact.

Scootaloo

12:26 AM

@fbueckert Is it normal I pronounce your name as a curse word?

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn Hey, I already get super friendly when drunk. I don't even wanna think how I get when stoned.

FEichinger

@fbueckert In my experience, you'd be utterly depressed.

The people I know tend to have opposing reactions to alcohol and marijuana.

user15026

@fbueckert grins I am a super friendly and handsy drunk, but a very chill stoner, I just tend to like....sit there and be entranced by really random stuff

Scootaloo

Fixed it, so it's marginally more readable.

FEichinger

@Scootaloo He absolutely loves it when he's called "Fluckbert".

fbueckert

12:27 AM

Sidenote: tonight is the dress rehearsal for my tango performance.

Longtail tux, go!

Scootaloo

@fbueckert How do you pronounce it properly? I've always read it as f*ck-burt. I'm really not trying to be rude, but that's the only way I could think of.

I've never been good with pronouncing names.

@Gnome

user15026

@Scootaloo that would be like anagraming it somewhat, no?

user15026

@fbueckert oooooooh :D Pictures?

Scootaloo

@AshleyNunn Ya, if I heard it thought then I wouldn't have a problem with it.

Trent Hawkins

@Scootaloo pro-tip, everything after the F is his last name, so it's Eff-(the rest)

Scootaloo

12:29 AM

@TrentHawkins So Eff-bu-ert, still sounds weird to me.

user15026

@Scootaloo with some "k" sounds in there

Trent Hawkins

@Scootaloo well, closer to good pronunciation than F***bert.

Scootaloo

@AshleyNunn Alright, so Eff-que-bert?

or Effk-qbert?

This is going to bother me all night.

Powerlord

Now I wonder what a Chemistry Set does in TF2.

Scootaloo

@TrentHawkins oh

@Trent Fred Bueckert?

I guess the "F" stands for Fred, Freddy, Fredly, or Frank.

fbueckert

12:32 AM

@AshleyNunn Most likely, yes.

Scootaloo

That's all I got.

user15026

@fbueckert Woooooooooot

Scootaloo

@fbueckert Yes?

fbueckert

@Scootaloo Check the reply highlighting.

Scootaloo

@fbueckert There's still a "?" mark, which implies it is still questionable (ie doubt).

fbueckert

12:34 AM

Anyways, I'm off to commit some mass monster murder before tango practice.

user15026

@fbueckert sounds fun!

Trent Hawkins

@fbueckert Save some for me.

@fbueckert Murder, that is, not tango practice. That's all yours.

Scootaloo

@StrixVaria

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn I believe I am solely responsible for a 20% reduction in total monster population worldwide.

user15026

@fbueckert not bad, not bad

Scootaloo

12:36 AM

@fbueckert Do you respawn like the jungle camps in LoL?

user15026

@Scootaloo why are you contextless pinging

Scootaloo

@AshleyNunn I have a question for him, and I'm not sure if he is away or not.

user15026

@Scootaloo so.....ask it?

user15026

He will see and reply if he likes when he does, thats the beauty of this system

Scootaloo

@StrixVaria Do you know of any champions in LoL that have can remove crowd control effects? like Gangplank's "Remove Scurvy" ability?

@AshleyNunn done

@AshleyNunn Do you play any MOBA games?

user15026

12:38 AM

@Scootaloo me? nope. Not a style I can really handle without wanting to throw stuff at stuff

Scootaloo

@AshleyNunn Skill shot champions rely on that a lot ;).

user15026

@Scootaloo hahaha

Scootaloo

user15026

I refer more to my lack of good hand-eye or dexterity or fine motor or anyt of that

Scootaloo

All of her attacks except her ultimate are aimed, except for her ultimate.

Plus she has an interesting model.

@AshleyNunn Ah.

Nevermind.

Remember? this is almost verbatim what happened earlier.

user15026

12:43 AM

@Scootaloo It will let you know eventually in your inbox, or if you leave the window up, you will still have a ping

Scootaloo

I'm on my laptop, and I only use it for schoolwork.

On second thought I'd better leave that last part out.

user15026

@Scootaloo ah, then it will just be in your inbox, it will be like "x new replies on the Bridge" and then just look for the yellow highlights in hte transcript

Yawus

Did Steam Update News just tell me that something that is not game-related is on sale?

I mean, I know Steam sells non-game stuff, but usually that isn't really advertised.

And, in my experience, not put in the Update News (which is generally left for big, popular games).

RedRiderX

@Yawus I think I remember Indie Game: The Movie appearing in there.

user15026

@Yawus what did they advertise?

Yawus

12:56 AM

@AshleyNunn You Need A Budget. From the short summary I read, it's just budgeting software.

I could be wrong though.

user15026

@Yawus It is budgeting software, but it is kickass sfotware

RedRiderX

And it might be that there are so many more games than software products that software announcements are easily missed.

Yawus

Also, @AshleyNunn, my sonic screwdriver did not attract any girls. There's either something wrong with me or the girls at my university.

user15026

@Yawus I'd say the girls

user15026

If I had seen you, you would have at least gotten a hi, likely a delighted squee, and conversation

RedRiderX

12:58 AM

@Yawus How exactly did you use this sonic screwdriver?

Trent Hawkins

@Yawus That software makes me laugh. everytime I see It I just think that the first piece of advice should be "Don't buy this software, you can't afford it."

user15026

@TrentHawkins yeah, it is pricey, but it has come in handy for me

Trent Hawkins

@AshleyNunn I suppose it can be handy, if you need assistance in that area, but the base price of $60 Kinda seems well outside the budget of someone who may need assistance with their budget.

user15026

@TrentHawkins Yeah, its kinda a weird thing

Trent Hawkins

But, I suppose it's still cheaper than the fees of hiring a professional to sort things out, and if it helps you in the long run, $60 can be justified (and with steam's regular sales you can get it cheaper).

A common scenario in my daily commute... Once again, you're in traffic.

Q: What can happen while you fly from your XCOM base to an event?
