TUCK FORONTO.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Problem?
 
Traffic. Took me four hours to get through Toronto today.
I should have been in Montreal 1-2hours ago. But I only just got in to Kingston.
 
Well fuck.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Ouch.
 
12:24 AM
@spugsley I enjoyed this too much.
 
@RavenDreamer me too :3
 
@spugsley Reminds me of the word dissassociation song.
 
user20683
@spugsley I'm laughing so hard I'm crying
 
@WorldEngineer YES!

Q: Gauging community's interest in a Secret Santa 2013

RetrosaurWhen I first joined Arqade, I think one of the first thing's I tried to setup was a intra-site Secret Santa. We did have not many participants, but there were enough to actually have a rather fun Secret Santa. Hopefully, at least, I believe all parties involved had a pretty fun time. That said,...

 
12:38 AM
 
@RavenDreamer I have listened to this 4 times and I still don't get it :(
 
user20683
incidently foxes make a kind of yipping sound
 
user20683
sound kind of like a coyote
 
user20683
1:03 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Did you make it to the land of stranger sounding diseases and colder maple syrup?
 
@WorldEngineer I am in Kingston.
Because fuck Toronto traffic. Montreal tomorrow AM.
 
user20683
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'll keep that in mind if I should visit
 
@WorldEngineer yeah, just take the subway everywhere
Driving in Toronto is for masochists
 
user20683
@ToxicFrog Atlanta is much the same
 
user20683
except our transit is...not so grand
 
user20683
1:13 AM
very clean
 
user20683
but kinda slow
 
@WorldEngineer the Toronto subway is great. The streetcars are ok. The buses are a clusterfuck.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz :'(
 
Great coverage, but it's only a bus every N minutes on average
So five minute service is actually 6 buses all at once every half hour.
 
Anybody want Torchlight I? I got... three copies, I think.
 
1:16 AM
I have it and regret getting it :/
 
user20683
I enjoyed it well enough
 
user20683
sequel is way better
 
So, my dad apparently got a job offer for Halliburton. Not sure if want...
Well, either that or he's attempting to play a prank.
 
@ToxicFrog I was just trying to get past Toronto en route from Chicago to Montreal
 
1:33 AM
@Yuki @AshleyNunn would like a copy, if you have one left
 
@ToxicFrog She's 'araleith', right?
 
@WorldEngineer Also, it doesn't go to lots ofplaces you'd want to go because dumb rich racists didn't want those people riding the train into their neighborhoods.
 
user20683
@LessPop_MoreFizz yeah...
 
@Yuki on Steam? Yes.
 
user15026
@lesspop I have a dilemma! I don't know which beer to drink first!
 
1:38 AM
@AshleyNunn Start with either the Shorts or the Toxic Sludge.
Shorts for fruity, sludge for hoppy
 
@AshleyNunn Sent you Torchlight. Have fun!
 
Hunting complete, time to continue sending Bridge peoples to their doom!
 
meeps Ashley
 
so....what...what does the fox say?
 
user20683
@Mana various nonsense
 
1:41 AM
Here we have @Fluttershy and @AshleyNunn laying down laser fire, with @RedRiderX chucking grenades in the back.
 
@fbueckert Am I orange or blue?
 
@Fluttershy Orange
 
user15026
@yuki you rock.
 
2 hours ago, by Fluttershy
@spugsley Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding.
 
user15026
@toxicfrog still not home. Walking from the terminal, am by your work. Will be home soon! Also I am frozen.
 
user15026
1:43 AM
It is too cold.
 
Two grenades later, both Beastmen are dead.
 
@AshleyNunn Also, carrying beer.
 
user15026
@lesspop that too!
 
user15026
Thanks again, by the way.
 
And @Wipqozn took out two Beastmen basically by his(her?)self.
 
1:46 AM
@AshleyNunn Anytime. :)
 
Ooh. Laser Cannon.
Not a hug gun, but a suitable substitue until I get one.
 
user15026
Oooooooooh
 
And @OrigamiRobot and @TrentHawkins make their debut!
 
user15026
2:01 AM
@spugsley What in the ever loving fuck did I just watch
 
@AshleyNunn WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY!?!
 
user15026
Beer does not improve this song, though the Black Sludge is good.
 
So did @LessPop_MoreFizz have strings, @AshleyNunn?
 
@spugsley Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho! =D
 
@AshleyNunn are you kidding?! It needs zero improvement. A true work of art!
@Fluttershy your timing is impeccable tonight, good sir
 
2:04 AM
@RavenDreamer why did you reject that edit?
 
user15026
@Wipqozn Nope. He does not.
 
@MichaelDunfield Which edit?
 
Mar 29 at 4:39, by Fluttershy
@spugsley I'm just always around. I wouldn't say I pop up. Just... always here.
I don't remember the context there, but... Yeah. I'm pretty much always monitoring. <_<
 
user15026
2:05 AM
@Fluttershy Creeper.
 
XCOM + Dwarf Fortress?
 
@AshleyNunn Some would call me.... something else, I think?
 
Wow. @Gnome just ran up to a Beastman and chopped it's head off.
With a Buzzsaw.
 
user15026
Niiiice!
 
user15026
@Fluttershy How about awesome?
 
2:07 AM
@AshleyNunn I'll take it! :D
 
blech. This tea taste like grass and vomit
 
@fbueckert Like a boss.
 
user20683
@spugsley Macha?
 
@WorldEngineer no. Decaf Chai.
 
user15026
@spugsley That sounds gross
 
user20683
2:08 AM
@spugsley ohhhh sammy....why you do this?
 
@spugsley I'm sorry... I'm so, so sorry.
 
@AshleyNunn it. is. just. wrong
@WorldEngineer because I need to sleep tonight
 
user15026
@spugsley :( offers beer?
 
user15026
I am torn on this beer, it is a lot more....something than I usualy like
 
@AshleyNunn vomit-y?
 
user15026
2:09 AM
@spugsley nooooo!
 
user20683
@spugsley O_o
 
I think I just heard the best description of the movie "Falling Down" that I have ever heard. Ever.
 
user20683
@Fluttershy are you going to tease us or spit it out?
 
@WorldEngineer I didn't know if anyone was still here. ._.
 
@Fluttershy Found anything new in Outer Wilds?
 
2:13 AM
> Michael Douglas unlocks new weapons like it's a metroidvania game.
@MichaelDunfield Haven't played it in a few days.
 
@Fluttershy =[
 
@MichaelDunfield Don't =[ me! I've been working and otherwise too tired to play when I get home. =P
 
@Fluttershy Yeah, that's fair.
 
I had 108 hours on my 2-week paycheck this week. x_x
 
user15026
@Fluttershy O.o
 
2:16 AM
I'll have somewhere between 120 and 160 on this next one!
 
user15026
@Fluttershy Ummmm I cant decide if that is a yay or a holy dear and flufflly lord
 
@AshleyNunn Moneyyyyyyyy
 
user15026
@Fluttershy Yeah, that is definitely a perk
 
And then, once I have saved up lots of money from working, and work dies down, I'm going to get my wrists looked at, because it is currently very difficult for me to actually grab anything with any force...
 
user15026
@MichaelDunfield I cant access the indiegamestand channel?
 
user15026
2:18 AM
@Fluttershy um......
 
@AshleyNunn I just noticed that too...
I can't either.
> #IndieGameStand: You need to be identified to a registered account to join this channel
wat
I'll Steam message Adoray
 
user15026
@MichaelDunfield Yes! This is a problem I am having!
 
Me too
Also @AshleyNunn did you see the new game?
 
user15026
@MichaelDunfield Oooh that looks neat
 
@AshleyNunn Yeah, I dunno. I don't wanna be one of those WebMD types, but I can't help but think it may be carpal tunnel. x_x
 
user15026
2:22 AM
@Fluttershy Oh thats no fun
 
user15026
Huh. I didn't really eat today other than lunch, this is getting interesting
 
2:34 AM
@AshleyNunn Try it now
 
So after the giant PR backlash about PayPal freezing MailPile's account, they caved.
 
@fbueckert They had already caved by the time someone posted that article in here.
 
@MichaelDunfield Which?
 
@Yuki Ah. I hadn't read the article.
 
2:37 AM
@MichaelDunfield 'cause it sounds like a comment and is anonymous
 
@RavenDreamer What does being anonymous have to do with it?
 
@MichaelDunfield Because folks who don't have accounts are more likely to not understand how the site works... and therefore edit in comments instead of, well... commenting.
 
@RavenDreamer If he had worded it differently, and provided a link, it's actually pretty useful info, but yeah I see what you mean.
 
@MichaelDunfield I really wish there was a "convert edit to comment" button.
 
@RavenDreamer Yeah that would be nice.
 
2:39 AM
'cause this tends to happen a lot.
So what's with the name change, Gnomie? Image rehabilitation?
 
@RavenDreamer Pretty much.
 
I noticed you changed your Super Mario Galaxy question, and then I was like, "Hm. Michael Dunfield. That name sounds familiar."
 
Ooh...Hug guuuun.
 
user15026
@fbueckert huggunhuggunhuggunhuggun yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
 
Sadly, I don't have the resources to make rockets yet, so you'll have to be happy with a Scientific Laser until then.
 
user15026
2:45 AM
Can it shoot stuff?
 
user20683
hypothetically
 
user20683
once it does, then it can shoot it theoretically
 
user20683
/rimshot
 
@AshleyNunn It shoots stuff with SCIENCE!
 
@AshleyNunn The Scientific Laser? Yes. Right now, you're crazy deadly with it.
 
user15026
2:46 AM
@WorldEngineer you have made my brain hurt
 
user15026
@fbueckert then I am happy
 
morning
 
OH SNAP ROBOCOP TRAILER
 
Well. That was slightly scary. @Gnome and @TrentHawkins were taking several hits at point-blank range.
And then @Gnome's spacesuit got damaged, making it even more interesting.
 
@fbueckert Oh dear.
Have I died yet?
 
2:59 AM
@Yuki Nah; you're barely even working hard, other than keeping up with your suicidal melee dudes.
 
Let there be....BABIES!
 
@TimStone YOU CAN'T JUST STEAL A BABY GIVE IT BACK
 
user15026
@TimStone dies of cute
 
My mod-abuse powers have been extended to include infant abduction.
5
 
user15026
@TimStone Aww I lost my modship before they gave out the cool powers :(
 
3:04 AM
@AshleyNunn How do you lose modshipnessism?
 
Also, hospitals have shockingly uncomfortable pillows. I do not understand this.
 
user15026
@Yuki Your site closes
 
@Yuki She was too nice. Also her site closed, but minor details.
 
@AshleyNunn Which site was it?
 
user15026
@TimStone Mostly I am just too nice
 
user15026
3:04 AM
@Yuki Libraries
 
@TimStone Hospitals. 'Nuff said.
 
@AshleyNunn Don't be deceived, he already tried for a headshot with his pee stream.
 
user15026
@TimStone But that faaaace
 
I know, and we have all sorts of adorable outfits to match it already, mwuahaha.
 
user15026
awesome :D
 
3:13 AM
In case anyone was wondering, I promise this is totally not a precursor to a brilliant world domination scheme.
 
user15026
@TimStone you say that now....
 
@AshleyNunn has her hug gun!
 
user15026
Oh that is a sexy sexy hug gun
 
user15026
hugs everyone
 
You get to test it now!
 
3:17 AM
@fbueckert UFO?
 
@spyder Afterlight, indeed.
Your hugging knows no boundries!
 
@fbueckert better than X-COM: EU or not? I'm played only original X-COM, Terror From The Deep and new EU
 
...And hugged yourself.
 
user15026
@fbueckert shit, that is bad self soothing
 
@AshleyNunn They don't want to be hugged.
You're getting shot a lot.
 
user15026
3:23 AM
@fbueckert noooo
 
user15026
hugs I bring hugs
 
Successful hug!
...and you hugged yourself in the process, so now you're unconcious.
But that's all right, because that was the last Beastman.
 
user15026
oh dear
 
user15026
I am not good at hugs
 
I haven't even given you the hugs that keep on hugging!
 
3:27 AM
Gaaaaaaaah
 
Take away @RedRiderX's pistol, replace with grenade launcher.
Fill backpack with grenades. Loadout complete!

Q: Turn off AI "Rebase" animations in Civilization 5?

ZubinI have all animations off, quick movement on, quick combat on, quick selection advance on, etc. However, the "rebase" animation still plays on AI turns. And, unfortunately, the AI almost always rebases all aircraft every turn. Are there any hidden ways to turn this off? It can take minutes betwe...

 
Out of all the soldiers I tested for psi abilities so far in XCOM...

Q: Gaming: HDD vs Hybrid vs SDD

KarolingerI bought a SSD drive. I wanted speed, but, as usual there's the issue of space. SSD for the OS, right. But, what about games? I want some games to also take advantage of its speed. But, again, limited space. I also have a HDD. I'm thinking about an Hybrid drive because of the issue of space. I...

Q: Mods in multi-payer

ScottttieI now see that there is a multi-player option in the mods section, however when I start a game, none of the mods actually load, is it possible to get them working so that I can use the mods with my friends?

 
4:33 AM
Rubber Ducky is no longer the strangest amenity I've had left for me in a hotel bathroom.
 
4:50 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz How is a towel a strange amenity?
 
@Yuki It's a paper towel.
Just a single one.
Like, aside from the printing, it literally could have been in a dispenser in a gas station bathroom
 
Oh wow.
Talk about cheap...
 
@Yuki There are actual towels too, but presumably those are not complimentary for me to take on my travels.

Q: Would I be able to run Natual Selection 2 on my laptop?

user54863I'm worried about my graphics card not being able to support it. I just use a family chipset. If it doesn't, is there a way to lower the graphical settings so it will?

 
6:12 AM
@wip gwrgghhhgfwrrghwwrgh
it's too early in the morning to say what I'd have done

Q: Is there any point in buying over 100 of something except cursors, grandmas and time machines?

OakCursors and gradmas seem to have a lot of upgrades and achievements associated with them, and time machines seem to be the main cookie-makers. But is there any reason to get more than a 100 farms, factories, mines, shipments, alchemy labs, or portals?

 
 
1 hour later…
7:52 AM
Work on Friday is always so slow
 
@5pike fridays are sleepy
 
@spyder Yeah. Time crawls by so slowly. Motivation to do anything is in the cellar (as usual)
The fact that our coffee machine broke down also doesn't help.
 
@5pike That never helps.

@fredley Last modified: Friday, 30. July 2010 10:13:41
Site looks much older
 
@5pike Silk top hats are timeless, therefore so are websites about silk top hats.
 
@fredley Can't remember the last time I saw someone wearing one.
 
@5pike I can, source: I'm British.
 
@fredley Top Hats aren't an Austrian thing
Lederhosen are
 
8:19 AM
This street is on my commute to work. It's often full of gowns and/or hats
 
@fredley classy guy.
 
@5pike He's a porter. What you might call a guard in the US?
 
@fredley I don't know what they are called in the US
 
@5pike Oh, sorry, of course.
Well in Austria, if you were to speak English, you might call it that :-P
 
@fredley wikipedia has about 9 occupations called porter o.o
 
8:22 AM
@fredley Well, the English word porter is pretty close to the German translation.
 
@KevinvanderVelden It's a pretty unique term. His job is to man the entrance to the college (the porters' lodge), acting as a receptionist. He also enforces the rules within the college, and has ceremonial duties (pictured).
 
So the second one :)
Porter may refer to: People *Porter (name), an English surname or given name Occupations * Porter (carrier), person who carries objects * Porter (college), member of staff in many of the colleges of the Universities of Cambridge, Oxford, and Durham * Porter (doorkeeper), one of the minor orders of the Roman Catholic ministry; doorkeeper or gatekeeper * Porter (railroad), railroad employee who assists passengers * Pullman porter, men hired to work on the railroads as porters on sleeping cars. * Deal porter, dockworker specializing in handling baulks of softwood * Doorman (profession) * G...
 
@KevinvanderVelden Yes
 
@fredley your commute is a wat.
 
@badp I cycle through the center of Cambridge every day. The center of Cambridge (city) is Cambridge (University)
People wear hats there
 
8:26 AM
More people should wear hats, hats are awesome
 
@fredley Fascinating. Tell me more about this.
(I blame imgur)
 
are the hats occasionally on fire?
 
Only if you're awesome.
 
@badp I'm sure there have been incidents of hatfire
 
8:30 AM
@fredley You could call unusual hats accidental, yes.
 
@5pike My cat would kill you with the stupid hat. And the lazer stare of doom. Mostly the hat though.

Q: Language change to English

AtlasEUMy Steam installation is in Danish, which is no problem. But my DOTA 2 installation is in Danish. How can I change the language from Danish (or any other language) to English in DOTA 2? It is so annoying, to read spell discriptions and similar in Danish - it looses that coolness, and worst off ...

 
I have been moving files around nonstop for like 16 hours
and I'm still not finished
 
To your SSD and 3TB drive?
 
yeah
 
@kalina hi
 
9:12 AM
lo
 
Data migration sucks...
 
KALINA HAS BEEN PLAYING WITH HER NEW TOYS FOR 16 HOURS STRAIGHT: DATA ACCEPTED

perverts
 
@kalina The s is not necessary
 
@5pike It really is
 
9:13 AM
I actually slept in the middle and just left them running
2
 
@fredley You don't know that, yet.
 
@5pike It is.
 
perverts again
 
@kalina That was star bait and you know it
 
nuh uh, innocent of all charges
 
9:15 AM
Don't play all innocent with me
I know your game
 
If it was actual star bait, she would already have deleted it.
 
I don't think you do
 
@FEichinger No, she deletes things that are not star bait
 
I think you think you do, but we both really know you don't
 
@kalina I think you think I think I do, but I know I think I really think I do.
 
9:17 AM
you're not capable of that much thinking, don't lie
 
@fredley No. She clearly does it on purpose and than claims we were perverts.
And then she deletes it, to remove all evidence of it.
 
I now have an entire pc just for downloading torrents on
uninstalls torrent client from this pc
 
@kalina I have a raspberry PI and a NAS :)
 
@KevinvanderVelden high five
 
@KevinvanderVelden yes but mine also doubles up as a steambox plugged into a tv
 
9:21 AM
Which reminds me, I have a wifi USB thing for it that I need to mess with getting the drivers compiled
 
I just... never do that
because, eugh game controllers
 
@kalina I have a HP ProLiant N40L
@KevinvanderVelden What does the wifi USB thing do?
 
@5pike at the moment? Nothing, what I want it to do: provide access to the wifi network so I don't have to have a ugly ethernet cable running through my room
 
@KevinvanderVelden I see
 
But I can't get the drivers compiled and loaded properly =/
 
9:24 AM
why not use the other solution
 
I prefer ugly Ethernet cables
 
(On the Raspberry Pi)
 
and get a pretty coloured ethernet cable
 
But the HP server also works over wifi
 
I have a bright pink one running between the top floor of my house and the middle floor
 
9:24 AM
Movie streaming in the whole house
 
@5pike I do to, but the floor is like 50 bajillion meters thick and you can't get a cable through
 
because pink cables are awesome
 
@kalina o.ô
 
Windows 8 libraries really don't like including network locations though
@FEichinger pink cables for everything!
except, well, most of the things, which have black cables
 
@kalina No. Nonono. No. Nooo. No. N. O.
 
9:27 AM
@kalina pink mesh around the black cables for everything else!
I think thats available somewhere ^o)
 
@KevinvanderVelden I could probably buy pink cables for everything else, but I'm not that fanatical
I do have a collection of pink usb cables though
 
There has to be a store that sells everything in Pink
including cables
 
Well that took slightly longer than expected
