@FAE Heh, I once freaked some people out by typing on 2 keyboards each hooked up to a different pc at once :D

It was worth being annoyingly slow just for that

Tim Post

@Blem-baFett I've got the 2013 (green) and I freaking love it

FAE

@KevinvanderVelden Haha

I kind of wish I had the G19, but that sucker's pricey.

Macha

I've got this:

Blem-ba Fett

@TimPost I only got mine a couple of days ago, but so far im very happy with it

Macha

Tim Post

3:01 PM

I like their mechanical design a little more than the buckling-spring model-m

Macha

It's okay, but I'd rather a mechanical

Ben Brocka

I use this

Kevin van der Velden

@FAE o.o it requires it's own AC power supply

What the hell

RedRiderX

Wait fat enter is an american thing?

Tim Post

The key activates at just the right pressure.

FAE

3:01 PM

@KevinvanderVelden Haha, yeah.

Macha

But the only ones doing UK layout seem to be Razer, for too much money.

Ben Brocka

I haven't seen a fat enter key since the 90s

RedRiderX

My MS keyboard has fat enter

FAE

I've thought about a mechanical.

I hate hate hate noisy keyboards though.

RedRiderX

my old Dell laptop had fat enter

and my acer laptop has not fat enter

OrigamiRobot

3:03 PM

My model M is unfinished.

Ben Brocka

@FAE How "noisy" though? The blue switches are way too high pitched for me but the browns have just a pleasant "thunk"

FAE

I think it's because I used to sneak online when I was a kid at my parents' and I needed to be able to type quietly and I've just hated noisy keyboards ever since.

OrigamiRobot

Ben Brocka

And I think there's even quieter ones than brown with a bit of the feel left

Shift freedom is the best key

OrigamiRobot

TABULAR

FAE

3:04 PM

@BenBrocka I prefer low-profile key (like laptop keys) kind of silence. My current keyboard is (an unfortunately discontinued ;_;) Logitech UltraX, which is a full size keyboard with low-profile scissor-switch keys.

I've never seriously looked into Cherry stuff though. I'd need to be able to feel/try them, and I've no idea where I could do that here in the Netherlands at all.

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot Tabular, dude

OrigamiRobot

I should finish it

FAE

I really prefer keyboards with a low travel time.

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot you should, inspired by datamancers keyboards?

OrigamiRobot

@KevinvanderVelden Von Slatt. I think Datamancer was inspired by him.

I'm just unsure about what to do in regards to the spacebar.

Ben Brocka

3:07 PM

@FAE I've never noticed a high travel time with the mechanicals

Q: In Hiversaires, is there a secret door in the circle room and how do you get in?

I'm referring to the third room you can access, the one that connects the different rooms. Next to the H room, there is what appears to be a hidden door. It gives you a red rectangle on the bottom left of your screen when you look at it. Is this a secret door? How do you get in?

hiversaires

FAE

@BenBrocka I wish I could try one out myself. :(

Think I'm gonna go play some more Ni no Kuni while I still have time before Eva tonight. Later all!

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot hmm, take a piece of wood and mill it out a few mm at the insides?

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot what was the deal with the curly wires anyway?

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot Wow, that's beautiful

Also, morning, Bridge

Tim Stone

3:16 PM

@FAE I got too used to typing on my laptop keyboard, so now I use an Apple keyboard with flat keys because I hate my hands.

Kevin van der Velden

I'm designing some fanguards for my PC, ugly render but what do you think @OrigamiRobot?

Macha

My laptop keyboard still has more resistance than Apple keyboards

SaintWacko

@KevinvanderVelden Looks cool. You should design them to look like smokestacks on a steamer

Q: How long is a typical E-Sports match?

What is the estimated length for an e-sport match? ex. in football it is around 3 hours. Also, I don't see any websites that have live scores for them?

esports

Kevin van der Velden

@SaintWacko I'm thinking of making 3 versions of them, having the back one a few cm taller and have them go down in steps

Luckily I made them in openSCAD so the only work I have to do is change a number and let my pc compile it

SaintWacko

3:21 PM

@KevinvanderVelden Ooh, that would be cool

@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment -.-

Kevin van der Velden

Stop randomly making an ee into an ea brain, it never works

SaintWacko

@KevinvanderVelden I can tell! Looks nice

@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment ...

Kevin van der Velden

I'm working on designing the front to look like a wrought iron grill that you can open

3d modeling is hard though =[

SaintWacko

@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment Haha, look at the comment on this

badp

ouch

Arperum

@badp stepped on a nail?

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum I bet it was LEGOs, it's always LEGOs

badp

3:24 PM

no, the current runner died at the final boss by accident and has to start over from the start of the 8-long boss rush

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka Curly wires?

Unionhawk

Yeah, that was painful to watch

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot the curled cord like the PS/2 (I think) coming out of that keyboard

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka Oh, that's just the cord that it uses? It's like 30 years old.

Ben Brocka

I know, those cords were fairly common on old stuff. I just dunno why

Arperum

3:28 PM

@badp That's pretty bad.

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka Oh. They take up less space while still giving you more reach. It made more sense for telephones I suppose. I figure it just carried over.

@KevinvanderVelden But none of the rest is wood.

Arperum

... WTF is this. Second time in less then a month that I get rick rolled by the radio...

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot no, it's a pc case. Wood and pc cases result in overheating =[

Or at least, that's been my experience

OrigamiRobot

@KevinvanderVelden 3D printing them?

Unionhawk

And time.

Damn

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot partially, that and aluminum extrusions/plates

Yuki

@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment Didn't that "kyr" guy also propose a Minecraft.SE?

SaintWacko

My cat is attempting to steal my bacon

Kevin van der Velden

Oh the fanguards? Yeah

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot Yeah I remember phones always having them

Kevin van der Velden

@SaintWacko your cat has good taste

SaintWacko

3:30 PM

@KevinvanderVelden Yes

Frank

@Yuki Yes. Just joined this proposal, though.

SaintWacko

She's a wonderful fat siamese cat

Ben Brocka

Yuki

@Frank Yeah, I could've sworn I saw that Gravatar somewhere.

3:31 PM

@KevinvanderVelden I mean in regards to my spacebar.

Ben Brocka

@badp Caught much of Cave Story. Is AGDQ chat slightly worse this year?

badp

@OrigamiRobot The freedom is strong in this one

Mechanical Loon

I actually think this is a good idea and it would solve our tagging issues. Instead of adding new tags on Arqade, we should just be making new sites for each game.

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot ooh aah, wood is easy to work with and you can paint it black =p

badp

@BenBrocka Ever so slightly. IRC is sane however.

Macha

3:31 PM

And you'd have the 5 people who really, really spent a lot of time in Starbound/game X :p

badp

gamesdonequick.com has a side-by-side stream IRC view.

OrigamiRobot

@KevinvanderVelden I am jealous of the spacebars Datamancer makes.

Ben Brocka

What IRC? Or you just mean viewing the chat in IRC so you don't have to see the faces?

Yuki

@MechanicalLoon This is known as the "f**k it, not our problem anymore" approach.

Meraj99

Anyway to do a * 10^x on a calculator? I'm terrible at this. :P

Ben Brocka

3:32 PM

I searched, in vain, for an extension to remove twitch chat faces

badp

@BenBrocka #sdamarathon on quakenet

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot they are pretty

maybe a next project =p

Yuki

@MechanicalLoon It would actually solve all the "Minecraft not loading, HALP" questions we get too.

badp

If you open gamesdonequick.com that's what you get by default

Macha

Oh, firefox has started blocking non-SSL CSS from SSL sites

Yuki

3:33 PM

@Meraj99 It should be the EE button.

Macha

Was wondering why a few sites had no CSS lately

Yuki

Depending on the kind of calculator you're using.

Meraj99

@Yuki mhmmm...

@Yuki Windows calculator doesn't have a EE :P

Frank

I have hung up my Government Issue Zombie Survival Calendar.

badp

twitch chat must be exploding

Meraj99

@Macha Works :P THANKS

Blem-ba Fett

@Macha as long as you don't use absolute path that wont really matter would it?

Unionhawk

It is.

...

Ben Brocka

3:35 PM

@badp do I have to log in just to view?

Macha

@Blem-baFett But SE uses the absolute path because CSS is on sstatic.net while sites are on x.stackexchange.com

badp

@BenBrocka no? unless you mean IRC. Then yes.

Unionhawk

Oh much better, I can hide the twitch chat

Kevin van der Velden

@Blem-baFett it can, my work's main product would have this problem, except I preemptively fixed it =p

Macha

And my college's moodle installation does for a similar reason

Blem-ba Fett

3:36 PM

@KevinvanderVelden good job!

Mechanical Loon

@Unionhawk The twitch chat devolves into inanity so fast anyway, and this stream has so many viewers.

Ben Brocka

@badp oh, apparently you just have to pick a nickname

badp

@BenBrocka Yeah

Macha

I just block Twitch chat as it comes in two versions: Subs-only, or spam everywhere

Unionhawk

@MechanicalLoon Yeah, perspective: They've got it in slow mode

Yuki

3:37 PM

@FAE Texan seasons are: Summer: "Oh, it's kinda hot out." Summer: Sweating buckets even with only one layer on. Summer: "I don't know how people lived before A/C." Summer: "OH GOD, WHY DID WE MOVE HERE." Not-Summer: Not cold compared to everywhere else, but freezing compared to the rest of the year.

Macha

It was 25C or so here last summer

Ben Brocka

@Macha There are occasional lulls in medium sized (1-5k) streams where people actually ask decent questions and are civil, but more often than that it's just dog faces

Macha

This was unprecedented weather

ElfSlice

This user has quite the profile bio.

Macha

Normally our summer is like 20C

Yuki

3:38 PM

@Macha The problem isn't just the heat though. Houston is very humid 'cause we're right next to the Gulf of Mexico.

Macha

I mean on the scale of things, 25C is probably your winter :p

77F apparently

FAE

@Yuki Haha, yeah, my sister just recently moved from Fairbanks, AK to Austin, TX. That's a hell of a climate change.

Yuki

@Macha Oh, that's nice. I wish our summer was that cold.

Blem-ba Fett

@ElfSlice untill i got to "I stopped working a couple months before Alexa was born" I thought he was talking about grills

Yuki

Summer here often reaches 100F or higher.

Kevin van der Velden

3:40 PM

@Blem-baFett it was also a case of "Hey, we're making a mobile version, do I really trust our customers to do optimize their CSS files?"

badp

uh, this run is a singalong?

Macha

Today its about 3C (37F) here.

Mechanical Loon

@Yuki Always finding more reasons to not visit Texas.

badp

Blem-ba Fett

@KevinvanderVelden I work on sites for the danish tax agency, I am pretty sure design is not something they know about.

Martin Sojka

3:41 PM

@Macha I like hanging out at small (below 100 viewers) to medium-sized (below 1000 viewers) chats, you can usually have a conversation there.

OrigamiRobot

@KevinvanderVelden If I wanted to just paint it black, I could just paint the plastic one :P

Kevin van der Velden

@Blem-baFett We host software to sell tickets, part of it is a online ticketing website (and a mobile version) design matters =p

We also have some customers with horrible design but meh they pay others to destroy their eyes

Yuki

@Macha I think we hit ~-2C(27F) yesterday night, which isn't cold compared to Oop North, but I saw a lot of people with four or five layers on because of how it compares to the rest of the year.

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot I meant paint the lowered bit black and the raised bit white (or silver?)

I think that'd work to simply create the style your other buttons have

ElfSlice

@tombull89 He's a scientist, he has no upper-body strength.

Macha

3:45 PM

That's 2 or 3 more than people here would wear :p

OrigamiRobot

@KevinvanderVelden Ah, I see. The bigger problem is making something that supports the original spacebar's design.

Macha

I know some people would make do with just a long sleeved t-shirt if it was 0C and not raining/snowing/hail.

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot aah yeah that'd be difficult

Yuki

@OrigamiRobot Oh jeez, that needs to be cleaned out.

ElfSlice

OrigamiRobot

3:46 PM

@KevinvanderVelden That metal bar is necessary.

Yuki

Now I want to go home right now and clean out my keyboard.

OrigamiRobot

I wish mine had the back base :(

Kevin van der Velden

Use the existing spacebar and put something over it? That'd be easiest probably

Just a lot of fiddling and going back and forth to make it fit right

Q: How Do the Melee Weapons Compare to One Another?

Something's been bothering me for a while now, even though I don't actually own the game (yet). It seems to me that different melee weapons in Left 4 Dead 2 operate differently. For example, I've noticed that the Machete seems to have a shorter 'reload time' than say, the Fireman's Axe, or the ...

left-4-dead-2

OrigamiRobot

@KevinvanderVelden I may just paint it and be done with it. If it looks bad, no loss. I'm just back in the same boat as before.

ElfSlice

@Blem-baFett oooooooooooo

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot true, I'd think you would get pretty nice results with the existing one painted black and some kind of raised edge around it

@KevinvanderVelden I just don't know how I'd do it.

Yuki

@ElfSlice Dangit, deleted before I could post a comment.

"If you have a question, please post it as a question rather than an answer on another question. Not only is this a violation of the way this site works, but it will also engender ill will rather than any attempt to answer your question. We all want your questions to be answered, and the best way to do that is to post it as a question."

ElfSlice

That was not something he should have posted as a new question anyway

badp

@ElfSlice I'm fairly certain a question for a step-by-step guide to setting up a Minecraft server would be allowable. I think we've done things like that before.

ElfSlice

Wouldn't it be a dupe?

Yuki

3:57 PM

@ElfSlice Probably, but at least he'd get pointed somewhere.

Jason Berkan

@Yuki But you have to be careful with something like that, because the user will just copy and paste his answer into a question, resulting in the question being closed and confusing the new user.
