@Lazers I had a car, it worked yesterday, now it doesn't, why is that?

@frank yep. We are busting out tiny owls

Q: Is it safe to drive a car that has got a broken suspension spring?

Yesterday I was driving home from work and heard a loud noise which I can only really describe as a "clang". After looking at it today, it looks like the spring for the front left (passenger side) suspension has snapped at the bottom. Here is a picture of the damage: I've already had a couple...

I can't believe there is a mechanics stack exchange

STACK EXCHANGE HAS AN ANSWER FOR EVERYTHING!

FEichinger

In five years, @kalina can get her entire life replaced by Stack Exchange.

Wait, make that two years.

Sterno

Should have tried Yahoo! Answers first.

Private Pansy

Frank

@Braiam OK, massive deja vu.

kalina

@Sterno I don't value the opinion of anybody who willingly uses Yahoo! Answers

Their opinion is already deemed invalid by the fact they chose to use Yahoo! Answers.

Braiam

@Frank you mean this one:

@Braiam Yeah, that's it.

He's a cool dude.

Apparently not starred enough, since it's not in the list.

@TimStone I MISSED IT

badp

Why does @spugsley seem to have a need for experiencing a drunk badp?

Tim Stone

@spugsley It was a special moment between @badp and I.

@badp aren't you always drunk?

18:38

I'm disappointed that I didn't drive any worse

But then again I don't think I can be considered drunk. One 275ml drink with 4.8% alcohol consumed within one hour by a 72kg individual probably wouldn't even register on a breathalyser

GnomeSlice

Void Destroyer looks neat.

CC @kalina

Braiam

@PrivatePansy LIES! you are way too thin to have 72kg...

kalina

today I learned that if @PrivatePansy gains a tiny amount of weight he will be 50% heavier than I am

GnomeSlice

Final Rush is now available on Steam

Private Pansy

@kalina Well, I'm also male and 185cm tall

kalina

18:48

damn you for being tall

spyder

Does anyone played new Divinity?

kalina

I like you a lot less all of a sudden

badp

dun dun duuuun

kalina

I bet badp is not as tall as you, @PrivatePansy

In fact, who is the tallest person in here?

Unionhawk

I'm not as tall as @PrivatePansy

kalina

18:49

and who is the shortest?

Unionhawk

I think you are

Private Pansy

@kalina Not a lot of people here are, but Caucasians are usually taller than Asians

kalina

@Unionhawk no, FAE is shorter than me

Unionhawk

Okay, fine then

FEichinger

@kalina Geez, you're light.

kalina

18:50

@FEichinger I know

Private Pansy

I'm sufficiently tall that I have to bend a little to get into the subway here

kalina

you all starred my "I would pay you if you told me how to gain weight" message, I was being serious

Sterno

Eat. Keep eating. Don't stop eating.

kalina

I have an alien metabolism, it doesn't matter how much or what I eat

user15026

There are so many homestuck trolls here its weird

Unionhawk

18:51

Get old first?

Sterno

@kalina You're doing it wrong.

Also, give it 10 years.

kalina

WELL GO FIGURE

Private Pansy

I gained several kilograms just by getting an extra burger on my way home for a month back when I was studying

FEichinger

@kalina Yep ... same here.

Unionhawk

Yarp. I'm told it's a young person thing

Arperum

18:52

@FEichinger Thirded.

spugsley

@kalina I think I am the shortest. 5'0" :(

user15026

Halp surrounded by them and I don't know what is going onnnnnn

kalina

@spugsley :(

@AshleyNunn Ask @badp, I think he knows

FEichinger

5'

That's short.

Damn short.

kalina

18:53

@FEichinger how rude

@FEichinger ...and cute? :3

spugsley

but yes, very short

user15026

@AshleyNunn If halp is being surrounded, then @AshleyNunn must come in for the rescue

Unionhawk

18:53

I know a couple people who are 4'11"

FEichinger

@spugsley ... If I say "no", you will kill me from my underbed, won't you?

spugsley

@FEichinger you know it :D

FEichinger

@spugsley Well, then I suppose I have no choice but to say "Yes"...

kalina

do I buy the Diablo 3 expansion?

anybody?

no?

maybe?

cake?

GnomeSlice

6'2"

spugsley

18:54

@kalina ohhh yeah I should probably do that

FEichinger

No.

GnomeSlice

@kalina Don't do it.

user15026

Is there a name for a group of homestuck trolls? Like a gaggle of geese?

FEichinger

Just because I wasn't allowed to say "No." on the last question, though.

GnomeSlice

Play a better game instead of spending more money on a bad game to try and make it good.

Private Pansy

18:54

@kalina I have cake. A lot of cake.

Unionhawk

Herd?

I dunno

badp

@AshleyNunn Um, not really. Why?

Sterno

@kalina Yes. Then you can complain with the rest of us about how the game still sucks.

user15026

Bored. Curious. Surrounded by them.

badp

@AshleyNunn Are you at some kind of convention?

Private Pansy

18:55

Japanese cake too. Good cake. Probably. I should consume some.

kalina

@Sterno ok, with yours and @spugsley's votes counting for 5x as many votes as @FEichinger and @GnomeSlice that means its 10 v 2

purchases

Sterno

I will show solidarity by purchasing it right now too.

FEichinger

@kalina How rude

Unionhawk

I will pass on the grounds of no-money-don't-care

kalina

I'm only purchasing it for the inevitable reputation boost it will cause

honest

I'm only like paragon level 1 on my main character too

Sterno

18:57

Or maybe not. I don't know where my authenticator is after my move.

FEichinger

@kalina That seems like a thing you'd do.

spugsley

@AshleyNunn hahahahaa I spit out my drink when I read this

Unionhawk

Apparently

Sterno

I think it will be more fun after the expansion.

kalina

DO I WANT THE DIGITAL DELUXE EDITION?

badp

18:58

Here's a protip, @AshleyNunn. If you see buckets, relocate.

Sterno

But apparently I'll never be able to play D3 again if I don't find my authenticator.

FEichinger

@kalina No, but you will buy it anyway.

Sterno

@kalina no

kalina

@Sterno @spugsley I'm guessing you all play on the American servers?

Private Pansy

@Sterno That's what expansion packs do, usually. Make games more fun.

kalina

18:58

because I will have to reroll or something

Sterno

@kalina yes

spugsley

@kalina yup

GnomeSlice

I bought Turbo Dismount.

I really need to stop buying shit.

Sterno

@PrivatePansy That used to be true, but it's increasingly less true these days.

kalina

I'm not sure I actually want to reroll

some of you should log in and boost me

badp

18:59

@spugsley An Italian saying says that small barrels have the best wine!

FEichinger

@badp ... Uh huh o.ô

Right ...

spugsley

@badp is that a euphemism for something? O_o

badp

...and by extension smaller awesome people have higher concentrations of awesome/inch

FEichinger

@spugsley Yep. That's what I was thinking.

kalina

holy crap, @badp with euphemisms?

FEichinger

19:00

@badp "awesome per inch" does not help your case regarding euphemisms.

kalina

more inches is more awesomes

FEichinger

@kalina We know your stance on that, yes.

kalina

ZOMG BLIZZARD SHUTTUP AND TAKE MY MONEY ALREADY

badp

Uh, it's supposed to be a positive thing. About human height. And being short on it.

GnomeSlice

Anybody want to play Skydrift?

kalina

19:01

30% towards changing my mind

spugsley

I definitely don't have a penis

Wipqozn

@Sterno: I bought EOIV today. I'm going to play it once I finish with EOU.

spugsley

if that's what this whole inches thing is about

kalina

@spugsley yes you do

it's just attached to somebody else

spugsley

@kalina bahahahahahaahahah

FEichinger

19:02

@kalina ... So, you're one of those "That's mine!" girls, huh?

I might as well just take you off my friends list right now

FEichinger

Well go ahead and do it, then. :P

Unionhawk

19:04

Rep buddies have to agree. It's the rule.

badp

@Unionhawk We have not yet reached this status.

Unionhawk

Oh, well carry on then

kalina

nope, another 800 or so rep to go

badp

@kalina sorry to break it to you, but we've been agreeing on a number of things as went along, such as our continued breathing, eating and drinking

Unionhawk

20 secs ago, by Unionhawk

Oh, well carry on then

FEichinger

19:04

(For that matter, I just wanted to get public acknowledgement of that statement.)

Sterno

@Wipqozn Good. That means I'm about 40 hours ahead of you.

kalina

@badp well, let's fix that then! *holds breath*

Sterno

@Wipqozn You should try it on hard.

Wipqozn

@Sterno I'm considering it.

FEichinger

@kalina takes the time

kalina

19:05

@FEichinger notice how you still don't have one :P

Sterno

Or not... the lack of warping coupled with hard mode might just make it annoying for you

badp

@kalina The good thing about keyboards is you do not need to displace air from your lungs to use it.

kalina

@badp correct!

FEichinger

@kalina Yes, my plans have failed terribly.

But at least I have other plans that are still successful.

Wipqozn

@Sterno That's also why I'm considering just playing it on Normal.

kalina

19:06

my plan to purchase reaper of souls has left me stuck in limbo

Sterno

@Wipqozn I think you can change it whenever you want, though.

GnomeSlice

Final Rush looks awesome

Wipqozn

@Sterno You can in EOU.

I think I already know what my party is going to be in EOIV.

Sterno

So, clearly you should start on Hard and then downgrade to Normal when you find out you're a failure.

Wipqozn

(Landsknecht / Fortress) / (Sniper / Nightseeker / Medic)

@Sterno I'd rather just assume I'm a failure and play on Normal.

Sterno

19:10

My party was close to that. Nightseeker was swapped out for Runemaster

Wipqozn

Not sure what I'll be doign as far as subclassing goes, but I think those are the primary classes I'm going to use.

Sterno

Runemasters rock

The first class you unlock is pretty awesome too

Wipqozn

I might use a Runemaster instead, I'm not sure. I used an alchemist in EOU so something different would be nice.

Sterno

But unlike @gracenote, I'm too lazy to level up multiple characters

Wipqozn

I, too, am very lazy.

Sterno

19:11

You will get a few scrolls as you go through the game that let you create new guys starting at levels 25, 35, and 45, I think

which I think still puts them about 5 levels behind where you're at when you get them. But it does mean trying an unlocked class is less painful

badp

@Wipqozn you should play on 3 days difficulty

If you don't win the game in 3 days it deletes your Steam account.

Wipqozn

@badp I'm starting to suspect something big may be happening in 3 days.

9

kalina

3 days difficulty is the only real difficulty

Sterno

Steam: The Roguelike

kalina

@Wipqozn I wonder what gave you that idea?

badp

19:16

@Wipqozn Tell you the truth, it's probably going to be a countdown to a countdown.

Wipqozn

@kalina I'm probably just being paranoid.

badp

Who knows? Us! In three days.

Wipqozn

@badp That makes it even better!

kalina

@badp which in turn is a countdown to a countdown

spugsley

It's Charlotte Restaurant Week this week :( And my stomach still isn't quite right. So sad.

badp

19:17

@spugsley Is it a restaurant that's only open a week a year?

Wipqozn

yo dawg, I heard you like countdowns, so we put a countdown in your countdown so you can countdown while you countdown.

kalina

oh yeah, it's about that time that I start thinking about eating

spugsley

@badp :/

user15026

@badp I am selling awesome cute knitted awesome at a local con this weekend, yeah :)

badp

@AshleyNunn This might be a problem then for bucket avoidance purposes.

Sterno

19:17

Maybe @GnomeSlice gets banned in 3 days. It'd be like the opposite of our other countdown!

user15026

@badp am I doomed?

Sterno

For the record, it would make it the saddest countdown ever.

badp

@AshleyNunn Buckets are supposed to reference the trolls' elaborate reproduction system, wherein no one has clear parents. So, really, you decide.

Sterno

I strongly suspect we're on a 3 day countdown to everyone putting @badp on their ignore list.

badp

If you want to know more, this is not the place where to learn more :P

Tim Stone

How could you not tell them about something which will have such an immediate and drastic impact on their site experience?

kalina

@Sterno I don't see it makes much of a difference

@TimStone this is gaming, everything is a game

Sterno

@kalina Well, if it's just one, then I'm sad. But if it's a whole pack, I can re-enact that "clever girl" scene from Jurassic Park, which makes it a little better.

Tim Stone

Per the rules of mod abuse nothing I do can be wrong, so it was a rhetorical question. You all failed the test.

The test you needed to pass to learn the secret of what's coming in 3 days.

OrigamiRobot

I am so bored.

Someone relieve my boredom.

Tim Stone

You won't be in 3 days. (@badp may have bribed me, I cannot confirm nor deny this)

FAE

Ubisoft has partnered with Tetris for its 30th anniversary and will be bringing it to Xbone/PS4. I... huh.

OrigamiRobot

19:30

I don't care about what's happening in 3 days.

kalina

@FAE tetris with microtransactions!

Tim Stone

You do, you just don't know it yet.

kalina

woooo

I REALLY NEED A STRAIGHT PIECE! 99p

Tim Stone

@FAE They'll probably change the controls like they've done for every single damn Assassin's Creed game.

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot Spoken like a man who isn't a man, but a robot, and who has been programmed to not care, and I'm not really sure where I'm going with this but I thought I had a joke in mind when I started it but I guess it turns out I didn't.

FAE

19:30

By the time whatever happens in 3 days happens, I'm going to be so sick of hearing about it happening that I won't want it to be happening anymore.

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno JOKE ACCEPTED

In other news, Enter is not Backspace.

FAE

@TimStone Oh they change? I've only just started playing the series.

Tim Stone

It's the worst. They keep generally the same functions but remap them to keys you were using to do other things in the previous games.

FAE

@kalina And don't forget Uplay!

Sterno

In 3 days, @OrigamiRobot becomes a real boy.

FAE

19:32

@TimStone x_X Gah.

user15026

@sterno you tried.

Tim Stone

And I just throw my hands up in the air and go "The hell."

Hasn't stopped me from spending way too much time since I started playing the series...playing the series, but. :P

FAE

@TimStone I will inevitably complain to you about this when I start ACII.

kalina

@FAE and always online requirement

Tim Stone

@FAE Heheh. I've just made it to III, after having finished I, II, Brotherhood, and Revelations.

Well, mostly finishing. Some of them are kind of obnoxious to get 100% in, so I was like "Meh."

badp

19:35

@kalina This is already a thing, I believe.

kalina

so painful

badp

The Tetris Blitz app on Android, IIRC, has powerups.

Tim Stone

Yeah, it does. My girlfriend used to play that.

FEichinger

@TimStone Yeh, I always started and tried to get full 100% ... And then after like two or three sequences I'm like "Fuck this shit, I'm not doing another three-minute time requirement."

RedRiderX

hmm does the amazon app store work on normal Android?

Q: Kraken ate Jebediah - any way to resurrect him?

I landed on Minmus. Some parts exploded, but that's only to be expected, it's Kerbal Space Program after all. I got Jebediah EVA to take some samples, and Hell Kraken ate him. Screen got blank, altitude meter got 666,666 and then random, and after restart Jeb is listed as lost. Is there any way ...

kerbal-space-program

RedRiderX

They have like a free app of the day thing right?

Tim Stone

@FEichinger Revelations was annoying too because I pretty much finished the game before having enough money to purchase all of the landmarks, and getting landmarks raises your Templar awareness, which if left unchecked throws you into that tower defense minigame...and argh.

badp

@RedRiderX On Android any program may download programs; there is nothing special to that app.

RedRiderX

@badp Right I did that with the HIB stuff I just forgot if all of the Amazon stuff works on normal android

badp

The one difference is that, since the Amazon app is not a system app (unlike the Play Store app), it cannot install the app for you. So you'll need to tap to download the app, then tap the "App downloaded" notification, then the "Install" button.

@RedRiderX I dunno about "all of the Amazon stuff" but the Amazon App Store works okay.

RedRiderX

19:40

Oh I was just thinking of the amazon apps

since they sometimes have sales and stuff

okay thanks

badp

Also most of the free apps of the day on Amazon are garbage.

RedRiderX

@badp I remember a few nice ones in the past.

badp

@RedRiderX I guess there occasionally are nicer ones.

RedRiderX

Like Carcassonne was a recent one.

badp

When that app store opened in Italy, they started with Fruit Ninja.

RedRiderX

19:42

oh

badp

Things went downhill very fast after that

RedRiderX

I see.

Private Pansy

reddit.com/r/GameDeals/…

badp

I checked daily for the first week then kinda forgot about it

Private Pansy

They're not horrible

(I know the submitter already filters out all the horrible ones, but it's not too bad)

badp

19:43

They are however region dependent. I think @RedRiderX is in Canada?

RedRiderX

Yeah it would be canada

Yeah so that can differ

Yeah today's one seems pretty bad.

GnomeSlice

Turbo Dismount is the best game ever
