1:00 PM
Not asleep, implementing a basic random family generator.
 
Alots are hard to google image search.
I need Alot of Google Image Searching to find alots.
 
@Sterno Yea, I'm just bored. Writing specs is not something I like.
@MartinSojka Why do you need a random family generator?
Do you keep killing your current family?
 
@Arperum No, but I often keep wishing I could just create a random family for any given NPC, especially in fantasy settings. It doesn't have to be anything fancy or dramatic, just fitting. If it keeps track of all the already created potential NPCs in a place or area and uses them for parents or spouses, all the better.
 
That's got to exist already.
 
Like ... "Ok, the guys want to follow the stable owner home for some crazy reason. Give me a 23-year old single man. See who he lives with. Thanks."
 
1:13 PM
He lives with 2 women, and his landlord Mr. Furley is always hounding him for the rent. When you eavesdrop on them through closed doors, their conversations are hilarious when taken out of context.
 
For tabletop roleplayin games I assume?
 
@Wipqozn Yes, but I want to be able to incorporate it into something more akin to Dwarf Fortress adventure mode as well, so it has to be fully automatic.
 
@Sterno I've got one too!
He's very old. His name is @Sternold. I couldn't come up with anything witty.
 
GRRRRRRRRRRRR
WOKEN U P DOGS BARKING
 
@kalina Good morning to you too.
 
1:20 PM
grrr
I must be scary just after waking up
I screamed at the dogs and they did exactly what I told them to do
 
Probably
 
they never listen to me
they've not made a single noise since
 
@kalina They were probably scared by the passing fireball.

♫ Come and knock on our door
We've been waiting for you ♫
I'm starting to think that anything that calls me old gets starred.
 
1:26 PM
bordering on a meme
I wonder what happens if...
Good morning, Bridge
 
@kalina NOPE
 
absolutely nothing
 
Nope. Only if @Frank does it.
 
what about if...
 
It's because you're not @Frank
 
1:27 PM
@Sterno is so old...
still nothing
ok let's try this
@Wipqozn is handsome
 
@kalina DENIED: REASON: @KALINA IS ALSO OLD
 
the force is weak with this one
I am not old
 
@kalina You're trying too hard
 
not for another 36 days anyway
 
What happens in 36 days?
 
1:28 PM
I become 21
exactly 1/3rd of your age, @Sterno
 
21 = old?
 
Well, Kalina was born in the last millennium ...
 
it is to all of these 18 year olds we have in channel
I propose a minimum age limit for the Bridge
 
Nov 2 '13 at 23:54, by Grace Note
And I'm pretty sure we just established that 20 is the eldest of ages.
 
it will solve a lot of problems
 
1:29 PM
@kalina I agree! One year younger than me
 
@KevinvanderVelden how old are you?
 
@kalina I agree.
 
@KevinvanderVelden no, that's ancient
 
1:31 PM
@KevinvanderVelden Whoa, deja vu
 
@Unionhawk I'm free from work until next week, catching up on my RSS feeds xp
 
@3ventic nice!
It's black on transparent so...
 
Yeah..
 
Open it in a new window
 
1:34 PM
I gotta fix that
 
Maybe the landlord was Mr. Roper.
Damn you, imperfect memory!
 
@3ventic "whatever the class the chat has " img { background: white !important; }?
That might work
 
@FAE this makes me want to buy an xbone
 
.onebox img { background-color: #fff !important; }
 
@kalina Just to go around as "xbox go home"?
 
1:35 PM
@3ventic yeah that
 
@Sterno Did you ever play EOIV?
 
@Unionhawk xbox close game
 
@Wipqozn Yes
 
works fine :p
 
I know you own it, but wasn't sure if you ever opened it.
 
1:36 PM
I beat it, even!
 
@Sterno How would you say it compares to EOU?
 
EOU is better
But if you're looking for more of roughly the same, it will deliver
 
@kalina xbox catch fire?
 
@Sterno Okay. Might pick it up whenever I finish with EOU.
 
invalid command
 
1:37 PM
The big thing you'll miss is the the warping between stairways
 
Is it? Damn.
 
And the skill system is significantly different
 
ducks say quack and fish go blub
 
@Sterno Yeah, I figured. The EOIV dungeons are smaller though, righT?
@Sterno Multiclassing exists, and there are tiers, right?
 
@Wipqozn Yes, yes, and yes.
It's not so much that the dungeons are smaller (though some are). It's that EOU just has one dungeon that is really deep, and EOIV has a bunch of 1-4 level dungeons
with wilderness connecting them
 
1:49 PM
@Sterno Yeah, I played the demo.
I just wasn't sure if the smaller dungeons was consistent.
1-4 level dungeons just makes it a bit easier to manage without the stair jumping.
 
NEeding to go through every floor again is just a waste of time. They normally add shortcuts and stuff, but still.
 
@kalina 27
 
@FEichinger \o
 
1:54 PM
@kalina Wheee, I'm no longer included in that!
 
@kalina That's not a bass.
 
@Wipqozn That's actually the point. Not so much the time wasting, as the resource wasting.
The idea being that if you overextend, you might not be able to get back out.
While at the same time, you don't want to head back too soon, because you have to expend resources again just to get back to where you are
 
My brain hurts.
 
10 hours ago, by Mechanical Loon
 
oh bloody hell
Don't care, watch it again.
 
1:59 PM
It's so good.
The part with the portals.
 
Yeah, that bit went from "cool" to "omgwtf"
 
@Sterno Yeah, and I really like that idea of resource wasting, but not time wasting.
I will say that the staircases do make those fountains and items less valuable.
I don't need to stock up on a bunch of healing items and the like because I can easily staircase out.
 
That will change a bit in EO4
And shortcuts are a lot more valuable
 
okay. Well it should prove an interesting change of pace.
the thing I'm most looking forward to is the multiclassing, which EOU lacks.
 
@Wipqozn So far the Shadow Temple is just a bunch of tests to see if you remember to use the Lens of Truth.
 
2:02 PM
I probably won't get around to it for a while.
@MechanicalLoon Yes.
 
10 hours ago, by Yuki
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. has a seizuretombull89 Dec 19 '11 at 11:02
 
All the temples are pretty linear, but they at least make the illusion of not being completely linear.
 
And yes, I'm aware I quoted you on that.
 
This one doesn't even do that.
 
Yeah, the shadow temple is probably my least favourite dungeon.
 
2:03 PM
I thought you said it was your favorite...
 
No sir.
I think you're confusing that with the water temple, and favourite withme saying I think it was great.
 
Fire Temple was one of my favorites simply because I got a giant hammer.
 
Now I have to dig back in the Bridge history to figure out where I got this idea.
 
I saw you mention that before, but I was too busy not being in chat to correct you.
Also I thought you may have been joking.
I'm honestly not sure what my favourite temple was.
To be honest temples are my least favourite part of Zelda games.
I prefer everything in-between. Exploring the worlds, doing sidequests, finding hearts, et cetera.
That's why I like Link Between Worlds so much.
the dungeons are a lot easier, but I don't really mind.
 
This is the first Zelda game I've gotten past the very, very beginning of.
Oh, actually, I think I got pretty far in Twilight Princess, but I barely remember it.
 
2:06 PM
You're going to make me replay Majora's Mask
 
Majora's Mask is fantastic.
 
Majora's Mask I have no interest in. Something about a global time limit or something.
 
@OrigamiRobot Majora's Mask is great.
It needs an HD remake now.
 
@MechanicalLoon You have 3 days to save the world.
 
@MechanicalLoon That's just people whining.
 
2:07 PM
And a time machine.
 
But you have a song which lets you reset back to the first day.
The time limit isn't a big deal, and actually works into the game.
 
@Yuki Christ opening that Sandbox thread crashed my browser.
 
Not to mention there's a secret song that slows the passage of time, I think.
@tombull89 Whoops, my bad.
 
You'll rarely if ever find yourself nearing the time limit during a dungeon run. You have more than enough time to do them.
 
@Yuki Not very secret, but yea.
 
2:08 PM
Yeah, there is. Cuts time by half I tihnk.
 
Not to mention Majora's Mask has some of the greatest bosses.
 
And a song which fast forwards by 6 hours.
 
I remember re-fighting Ghot sooooo many times.
Heck, I remember breaking out Majora's Mask every now and then after I beat it just to fight Ghot again.
 
@Yuki I just rolled around the field forever.
 
He's the mechanical horse guy you have to chase around as a Goron, if none of you remember the name.
 
2:09 PM
Being a goron is so much fun.
 
@OrigamiRobot The special milk (Chateau Romani?) made that so much fun.
 
Good morning, Bridge
5
 
@Frank And now I feel productive. To work!
Hmmm... nobody sent any tickets in...
I don't have any work.
 
I have a phone interview with a placement agency today.
 
@Frank Oooo, good luck!
 
2:13 PM
@Frank Oh snap snippity snap.
Just tell them you know that handsome Wipqozn fellow, and you'll get any job you want.
 
@Wipqozn @Frank It might work better if you use his actual name though.
 
@Wipqozn I'm not too worried.
 
I suck at pinging.
 
@RonanForman They'd just go, "Who? We don't know anyone by that name."
 
@RonanForman Was wondering why I was listed as a reply on that...
Hmm... I wonder if I can break everyone's browsers by posting this here...
Nope, never mind.
 
2:22 PM
@Frank Come now, everyone knows me!
 
@Wipqozn Including CSIS. So nobody wants to admit they know you.
Because that would be bad.
 
@Yuki Images are never added to the post onebox.
 
@Frank My wor.d You sure showed me.
 
@Wipqozn When in doubt, show the bad side of being known.
 
You can do that tho
 
2:30 PM
@Yuki Chrome handles it fine
 
@3ventic Yeah, but it doesn't have the same effect of an entire wall of the stuff.
 
But it's just as annoying
 
@3ventic Not nearly as hypnotic though.
 
The max width on images is too small to have hypnotic stuff
 
Morning, Bridge
 
2:35 PM
@SaintWacko Greeting thief.
Teach this guy a lesson, @Frank.
 
@Wipqozn I was doing it first
Then I started coming in to work later, and @Frank the Usurper stepped in
 
@SaintWacko @Frank the Usurper...
I like that. @Frank should change his name to @FrankTheUsurper.
 
I agree
 
@Yuki I see 239 results when I click. You added one with your mentioning it.
 
2:41 PM
@Yuki 93 of those is from gnome. Holy crap. I didn't realize he mentioned it that much.
 
@Yuki SLOW.
 
@Arperum I was actually about to add another bit to it before @Wipqozn blurted out the number.
 
@Yuki Literally slower than the turtle.
 
I thought we just blew how much he said it out of proportion.
Maybe I should actually check out SkyDrift.
 
@Yuki 241*
 
I would think @Sterno or I would be number 2.
 
@Wipqozn Yeah, I already checked you and you have less.
 
@Yuki How many?
 
But I didn't check @Sterno until just now.
 
2:46 PM
Wups, 242. Missed one somewhere
 
@Wipqozn You have 15 or something.
 
Sterno was the one who got it started I tihnk. He asked gnome how many skydrifts something was.
Then it just got out of control and took on life of it's own.

Q: How long does the teleporter particle effect last?

ZibbobzI love teleporters. They're convenient on nearly every map, whether you're attacking or defending. And secret teleporters are the best, because as long as they're secret, they're safe. But, a tell-tale sign that there is a teleporter somewhere nearby is the lingering particle effect that cli...

 
Did anyone make a SkyDrift meme on that meta yet I wonder.
 
2:47 PM
@Wipqozn Probably not yet.
 
It's definitely reach that status.
 
Does the search for "skydrift" also trigger on "skydrifts"?
 
Oh, I'm not sure.
SE search is terrible so probably not.
You easily could make it trigger though.
Skydrifts triggers skydrift, so the reverse would work as well.
 
@fredley nope, does not log me out
 
@KevinvanderVelden That's because logging out is two-stage.
For exactly that reason.
 
2:48 PM
:(
 
@fredley trolling DENIED
 
I would have got away with it too, if it hadn't been for that meddling CSRF!
 
@Wipqozn Be sure to mention @Sterno's daughter being named SkyDrift.
 
@Yuki If I make it I will.
 
And phone interview complete.
 
2:51 PM
but I won't do so until I get home.
@Frank How did it go>
 
@SaintWacko Yes, it does. Searching for "skydrift" returns the same results as "skydrift skydrifts" and "skydrift OR skydrifts".
 
@Yuki Ah, okay
 
@Wipqozn They want to present me to the client, and they didn't bat an eye when I told them what I wanted.
 
@Frank How could you tell if they batted an eye if you were talking over the phone?
 
@Yuki They still want to present me to the client, so what I asked for is reasonable.
 
2:52 PM
@Yuki They have very large eyelashes that would have caused a muffled wind to come through the phone.
 
@TimStone That just made me laugh at work. Thanks a lot :P
 
@Frank I'm not sure if I agree. They are both part of the Battlefield series.
 
@Wipqozn The answer has proven that the only thing the same is the engine.
 
@SaintWacko Just doing my duty of making sure everyone is as irresponsible of an employee as I am. :P
 
If even that.
Battlefield's always been a multiplayer game. The little I've played of Bad Company, it's about cover mechanics and a single player story.
