@badp whoops

user20683

Yuki

@WorldEngineer That makes sense.

Why did you say "apparently"?

user20683

@Yuki Aye, it does. It's just surprising as a ruling.

RedRiderX

12:13 AM

@WorldEngineer Wohoo no more 3 6 strikes in the US

user20683

I tend to use "Apparently" somewhat sarcastically in cases like this

user20683

@RedRiderX How's the trekkin'?

RedRiderX

Welp I'm trying to get a bit more of tos but I've finished s1

user20683

@RedRiderX thoughts?

RedRiderX

I might just try moving on to TNG

It's pretty rad

user20683

12:15 AM

I'd watch the movies

user20683

2-4 and 6

user20683

that'll give nice setup for TNG

RedRiderX

some episodes really feel like they were made in the 60s

but it's still pretty great

user20683

@RedRiderX yeah, it hasn't aged that well. TNG aged better

RedRiderX

@WorldEngineer Ah right I forgot the movies are in between

user20683

12:17 AM

6 in particular sets up why Worf can be a thing

RedRiderX

And then there is the gritty series right?

ack what's the name

user20683

it's not "necessary" per se but it's a good set

RedRiderX

station 8?

user20683

Wrath of Khan?

user20683

Deep Space 9

RedRiderX

12:17 AM

Or right that one

So I guess there is still a ways to go but I'm glad I started!

user20683

Deep Space refers to non-orbital stations outside Federation borders

user20683

So you'll sometimes hear about Deep Space 4

user20683

for instance

user20683

@RedRiderX you've got years to watch it :) take your time

RedRiderX

Hah true

And it is something to watch while waiting for DW to come back :P

Ugh ~~August~~ September seems so far away

Yuki

12:19 AM

@RedRiderX That's because it is.

RedRiderX

So true

But I have ST and Sherlock to tide me over so I should be good. :P

user20683

Andromeda has really good space fights and music

user20683

good stories in the first two seasons and then...it went downhill

RedRiderX

@WorldEngineer Wow so it's like ST: the left over episodes?

user20683

@RedRiderX kinda

user20683

12:24 AM

it's sort of Fallout IN SPACE

RedRiderX

Ah okay

That sounds neat

@RedRiderX the primary enemy is basically Ewoks gone Facehugger

So there's a place in the fungus level in Risk of Rain where, as an engineer, you can just sit and kill stuff without taking much damage

Q: I cant delete my META- INF file for minecraft

OK so look i am one of those guys who don't understand how to delete the META-INF file it is driving me crazy and i do not even want to play mine craft without them. i have already tried to use win R A R and 7 zip but they don't work. the mods i am currently trying to install are not heard about ...

@SaintWacko I always prefer Sky Meadow for the second level. Fungal Caverns are so annoying to navigate.

SaintWacko

@FAE Yeah, I find them easier than Sky Meadow, though

FAE

@SaintWacko Voyager's between the two though, neh?

SaintWacko

12:28 AM

Sky Meadow has too many enemies that follow you between levels and attack quickly

@FAE I don't know

FAE

@SaintWacko Huh, really? I feel like there's more mobility in Sky Meadow. Fungal Caverns has a lot of short platforms and places to fall.

@FAE so many squares, so little time.

I remember when I used to watch scandisk for Windows 95 print out every single file name on your system as it scanned it

@badp I used to watch the defrag program clumping all those little squares nicely together.

user15026

@FAE I could watch that forever

RedRiderX

@FAE Ahah me too

@AshleyNunn It was so satisfying.

badp

12:33 AM

@FAE The best progress bar ever. Nay, progress screen.

FAE

@badp I miss it!

badp

No matter that having the details shown slowed down defrag very considerably, I think at least by a factor of 10

@FAE Hard drives today are way too large for that.

FAE

Haha, true.

badp

but the view without the details only had those frustrating extremely large progress blocks

BOOOORING

I'm happy those are no longer things that exist.

Do you remember when people used to make progress bars tiny so that the progress bar blocks would be super tiny and somewhat more accurate?

Do you remember when InstallShield showed not one but four progress bars as it installed things, and three of those were vertical?

The big one had ye olde run of the mill install progress.
One had the progress of the current disk, and it almost always perfectly matches the large one.
One had the progress of the current file, and it was almost always empty.
One had the current amount of free disk space available, and it almost never changed mid-install.

FAE

Apparently I've got 12GB allocated to the Payday 2 Beta?
