@BenBrocka A shame he can't get revival, but Necromancer and Great Answer are still on the table.
 
And I suspect it's the one that posted that non-answer on the Kingdom Hearts BBS question.
Can we get a username burn on that guy, too?
 
@Frank that username
Ahaha
 
So if I'm going to play Torchlight 2, are there any mods anyone would recommend?
 
@Frank Oh, was it deleted before I clicked on it? I was a little confused.
 
5:03 PM
@Yuki Yeah, it's gone.
It was a pretty personal attack against two of our mods.
 
@Frank I haven't played in awhile, but I would recommend the gem recombiner.
 
@badp and @Oak
 
Can't believe they took it out.
 
Post gone, username burned. I am happy.
 
@TimStone inb4 "OLD".
 
5:04 PM
Pssh
 
@TimStone Yeah, that's been posted before.
 
You've been posted before.
 
@TimStone Criminy I almost want to say I posted this.
 
There, now everyone just looks crazy.
 
But I can't remember if I got it here and posted it on the other side or if I got it from the other side and posted it here.
 
5:05 PM
 
@TimStone I even get starred every day!
 
@Yuki He's a very popular person, I'll give him that.
 
@Frank is to good morning as I am to being handsome.
 
Devilishly?
 
5:09 PM
Yes
Man, you guys are great.
 
@TimStone No, @Wipqozn is tortoise-ly handsome. Or turtle-y handsome. Up to you.
I like "turtle-y" better. Sounds like "totally".
 
@Jin Oh mother of god...
 
@Jin sure
 
@Jin Well, since you said "plz"...
 
5:11 PM
@Yuki You wouldn't happen to have a name for this mod, would you?
 
@Jin oooh pretty
 
@Yuki Just because they're not on chat it doesn't mean they're active. That said...
 
@Yuki nope, it also counts post without stars (go to the last page)
 
@Jin That looks crazy good
 
@Frank OLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
 
5:13 PM
@badp No worries, we're looking out for you.
 
Jin
oh whoa, i'm getting like 4 or 5 of it from you guys? AWWWW
i promise i won't ebay at least 2 of them
 
@Frank I don't recall the exact name, but it's pretty highly rated.
So you should be able to find it by sorting according to all-time rating.
 
@Yuki Ember Gem upgrade?
 
I am now parked outside a factory!
 
@kalina The deal's off, I told you to tell no one
 
5:17 PM
@Frank Maybe.
 
Well, I'll give it a shot with the retex mod and that one. See if I like it.
 
Dammit @ben I need my coke!
You can't deprive me!
Fine. Screw the deal. I'll get Pepsi instead
How do you like them apples?
 
I like apples.
 
@kalina Are they honeycrisp apples?
 
No. Toffee apples
Hmmm
My tablet is out of power
That's strange
Either that our it's died in some way
I guess I'll just have to use my phone
 
5:24 PM
@kalina Is it flat?
 
Yes
Less than 1cm thick
2
 
Batteries die if they are killed
 
@BenBrocka That line always irked me, but it's a meme so whatever.
 
@Yuki Is it?
 
@OrigamiRobot Not a widespread meme, but it's fairly well-known in anime circles.
The thing is, it's taken out of context.
And badly translated.
 
5:32 PM
@Yuki Oh, the "people die if they are killed" line. I didn't make the connection :/
 
Your mom is a widespread meme.
 
I'm so funny.
 
@Yuki I think most people at least appreciate it's poorly translated rather than the original line being stupid
Bad translation was the soup de jour of the 80s/90s
 
@BenBrocka Yeah, but every now and then you run into someone...
 
5:33 PM
@BenBrocka What you say?

Q: Minecraft LAN won't work

user66327I've been going around the site looking for a way to fix my LAN but none of the suggestions I've found seem to be relevant to my problem. I got a new laptop a month ago and one of the first things I did with it was host a LAN game to play with my friends, which worked great. But a few days ago I ...

 
@OrigamiRobot Soup de jour. It's like Cup-A-Soup, except instead of cups you have... Actually, it's nothing like Cup-A-Soups, forget I mentioned Cup-A-Soups.
 
Man, morganna, you're the worst. Seriously.
Also, rewatching .hack//SIGN.Just for context.
 
@kalina Oh, those batteries
 
@Wipqozn maaaan I never finished those. I could never find the 4th dvd and gave up at some point
 
5:37 PM
@BenBrocka Youtube it up. That's what I'm doing. Watching it during work.
DVDs arebeter, but if you can't get the DVD then youtube is the next best thing.
 
@Yuki du jour
 
@JasonBerkan I copied @BenBrocka's spelling. Blame him.
 
Is Steam having login issues at the moment?
 
user15026
@tombull89 I keep getting kicked, but I assumed that was my phone being stupid, not steam.
 
@tombull89 Seems so
 
5:46 PM
Cable company says it will be here between 10am and noon.
12:45 and still not here!
 
Oak
@Frank man, I wish a was a supreme overlord in the gay porn industry. Must pay well.
7
 
@Sterno You know that actually means 1PM and Midnight.
 
Steam's down. :(
 
user15026
@sterno time estimates like that are the worst.
 
@Ullallulloo The end is nigh!
 
5:49 PM
@Sterno Are you sure they didn't say "between noon and 10am"?
 
@Sterno 10am today and noon tomorrow.
 
I'm having furniture delivered to my apartment Saturday. They're supposed to call me with a window of time, but have already accepted that I'll be staying home all day.
 
The worst part about ordering Apple products is that you must be home to sign for them. I had to skip work for a day when my first laptop arrived.
Or maybe that's the best part?
 
@JasonBerkan I would have thought the worst part would be having an Apple product.
 
@MechanicalLoon No, the worst part would be paying money for it.
 
5:52 PM
@MechanicalLoon :P
 
@Yuki To be fair, I was offered a MacBook at work and declined for a generic Linux laptop.
 
I got an iPod Touch for free, so that was great.
 
@Yuki ... It was an example of bad translation.
 
@Sterno Most companies will offer some sort of reimbursement if it's over 20 minutes. You just have to complain to them about it. :P
 
@Fluttershy My mattress was delivered 9 days late.
 
5:54 PM
The worst part is they called at 11:45, said they were running a little late, and would be here at 12:15. So even their revised estimate is off
 
They gave me $250.
 
@MechanicalLoon I'd call that a win.
 
user4704
@JasonBerkan You don't; you can fill out (and print out) the form that says "I authorize you to leave this even though it says you need a signature." If you sign it, they'll leave stuff.
 
user4704
I do it all the time.
 
@Fluttershy I had to sleep on the floor for 9 days.
It was a wash.
 
FAE
5:55 PM
@Fluttershy Having to sleep without a mattress 9 days longer than you expected, I dunno if that's a win.
 
@MechanicalLoon That's more than I'd want to pay for a matress in the first place.
 
user4704
(it's annoying since I don't own a printer and have to remember to print it at work, but still, it's better than wasting all that time sitting at home)
 
@JoshPetrie That's with UPS? Is it on their website?
 
@MechanicalLoon Oh. Yeah. That's not that great.
 
@Fluttershy knowing my cable company, all they'd offer me is a free bag of dicks and instruct me to eat them
 
5:56 PM
@OrigamiRobot Given the way that mattress is going, actually, I have learned that mattresses are not a thing you want to be cheap on.
 
@FAE I'd be fine sleeping on the floor. I'd call it a win.
 
user4704
@JasonBerkan FedEx, at least. Probably UPS too. It's on the website somewhere, I usually access it from the shipment tracking page.
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot Depends on the state of one's back. That'd wreck more than a few people I know, including myself.
@Sterno This reminds me of a Louis CK sketch
 
user15026
@origamirobot oh man, no, good bed is important. My bed cost decent money and I love it more than anything else that I own but I am also a broken person
 
@FAE Me too! I hate my back. :(
 
5:57 PM
@MechanicalLoon I have no idea how much a mattress is. I'm just saying I'd be mad if I had to spend that much on a mattress.
cc @AshleyNunn
 
@OrigamiRobot A decent mattress (queen sized) is like $1500.
 
@JoshPetrie I'll remember that for next time. Also, nice that the UPS person on the phone never mentioned that option...
 
@MechanicalLoon Fuck that noise. I'll sleep on the floor.
 
I spent like $800 on a king-sized one and it's the worst decision I ever made.
 
user15026
Mine was on massive sale for $600 I think (mismatched top bottom sale)
 
user15026
5:58 PM
It was originally a lot more than that, we just got really lucky at the time.
 
FAE
Beds are different over here, they don't sell boxsprings.
 
I never understood what the boxspring is for.
 
user15026
And I hate sleeping not at home because of how awesome my bed is.
 
Now I just got a call that he's "on his way".
I predict 30 more minutes.
 
FAE
They use wooden slats for springy support and the mattresses are thinner than the ones in the US and usually don't have springs inside.
 
user15026
5:59 PM
(and most other places I sleep have futon type beds)
 
@MechanicalLoon Raise the bed up.
 
@FAE Which would you say is more comfortable?
 
user4704
@JasonBerkan I'm sure they are intent on giving the worst customer experience ever.
 
user4704
For Christmas, I mailed home two things. One was rather oblong (an interchangeable tool handle, for rakes and garden tools, for my father). One was cube-ish.
 
user15026
@FAE after my dad's work accident they told him to avoid beds without the box spring because they wouldn't give him the firm support he needed. That's the only time I have ever heard a preference for one or the other
 
FAE
6:01 PM
@MechanicalLoon It's kind of hard for me to judge because I never had really high quality mattresses when I still lived in the US. I even slept on a broken couch/futon for a long time at my parents before I moved here.
 
user4704
Instead of doing the sane thing (two boxes of appropriate size) when I asked them to package them for me, they put them both in one GIANT box, literally seven feet by two by two, filled with packing material (unnecessary, items not fragile) and attempted to charge me $200 for it.
 
FAE
Also a lot of people here buy mattresses for short periods of time, like 5 years or so.
Then they get a new one.
 
user15026
I have the bed I have because I was broken at the time, declared this one comfortable, and we bought it. :p
 
@FAE I intentionally slept on the floor for about a month last winter so I could sleep by my fireplace.
 
user15026
And then it became mine post breakup because I am the most broken one.
 
user15026
6:03 PM
@origamirobot oh man that would kill me
 
I AM BACK
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn I prefer to sleep on my side because that is comfy for me and when I sleep on the floor like that, it wrecks my hips and stuff.
 
When my bed finally wears out, I will probably just sleep on/in a pile of blankets.
And cry because my bed is super comfy.
 
@FAE I make a fake person out of pillows/duvet combination and then cuddle it
 
user15026
I sleep in a weirdly twisted position and if I sleep on a floor I legit can't get up the next day without a lot of help
 
FAE
6:05 PM
Ikea.nl's mattress selection. What's listed as #2 there is pretty common.
 
user15026
@kalina I might have done that a few nights lately because it has been so long since there was a human to cuddle
 
@AshleyNunn that is pretty much the purpose of other people when it gets to bed time as far as I'm concerned
correct positioning of the spine for comfy waking ups
 
user15026
@kalina you might be on to something there.
 
user15026
@FAE I am mostly surprised I understand most of that page.
 
@kalina I just sleep up against the wall.
 
FAE
6:07 PM
@AshleyNunn I sleep sort of half on side, half on stomach with one leg drawn up sorta.
 
I take up like 15% of my bed.
 
@OrigamiRobot you are weird
 
user15026
@FAE Yes! That is how I sleep!
 
@FAE half on side with a person under said drawn up leg
 
Uh... installing ubuntu server
let's see how this goes
 
FAE
6:08 PM
@AshleyNunn OMG we're sleeping buddies!
 
although with me it's normally more half on side half on top of what/who I'm sleeping on
 
user15026
@FAE I'd happily be your sleeping buddy :)
 
FAE
@kalina also this
@AshleyNunn Yaaay!
 
@AshleyNunn inb4 rampant starring.
Dammit, Pandora, stop giving me musical numbers for my Disney station!
 
user15026
@kalina i tend to start partially touching the other human or human replacement object, but then I usually end up rolling over and taking all the blankets
 
6:10 PM
I thought you'd have recognize my consistent pattern of thumbing-up all Disney and thumbing-down everything else!
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn I do this too.
 
@AshleyNunn I pretty much don't move when I'm asleep
 
FAE
Jochem pretty much gives up on trying to make sense of the blankets after I've been in the bed.
 
just completely dead to the world
 
FAE
@kalina I move a lot, even though I sleep deeply.
 
6:11 PM
Nowdays, I get woken up by a cat who wants under the covers.
"It's 4am. Time to get under the covers, purr as loudly as I can, and lick your arm constantly. Don't worry, just as you're about to fall back asleep, I'll bolt out from under the covers and go play with all my jingly toys!"
 
@OrigamiRobot My girlfriend's cat has to be shut out of the bedroom at night, or else he usually starts pouncing on our feet
 
user15026
My cat is good at picking spots to sleep where I am not.
 
@SaintWacko Carter attacks my butt if I lay down facing the wall.
 
FAE
@SaintWacko Jochem's grandma's cat is evil.
He hates her. Likes his grandpa, but hates her.
He bites her ankles, claws her, he'll pounce at her face while she's sleeping.
 
I hate small animals
dogs and cats can just die
living in a house that has two dogs has only made my hatred stronger
 
FAE
6:16 PM
:(
What kind of dogs were they?
 
small, loud ones
 
When I was a kid I loved my dog because it wasn't my stuff he was destroying.
 
FAE
So do you prefer like, livestock size stuff like horses or are you just not an animal person in general?
 
As an adult I hate my dog because he destroys all my stuff.
 
horsies are awesome
 
FAE
6:16 PM
@MechanicalLoon When?
 
but I'm not much of an animal person
 
FAE
As in, all the time, or only when you're gone?
 
@FAE He doesn't so much any more.
Once I came home and flipped the light switch on, and instead of the light turning on there was a big spark from where he chewed the wire.
Wasn't exactly thrilled.
 
FAE
It might be abandonment anxiety, if it was mostly when you were gone.
 
I wish I could get a dog. :(
 
6:18 PM
@FAE He literally will not stop barking if we put him in his cage while we are still home.
Overnight, all night, nonstop.
I don't know how you can bark for 10 straight hours.
 
FAE
@MechanicalLoon What kind of dog?
 
@FAE Maltese/Yorkie mix.
 
@FAE like these
 
FAE
Have you had him from birth or was he adopted?
 
that one can die in a fire
 
6:19 PM
@FAE From a store.
 
FAE
@MechanicalLoon How old when you got him?
 
@kalina That's not a dog. That's a sausage.
 
@FAE 2 months or so.
 
@kalina This one is cute.
 
FAE
6:20 PM
@MechanicalLoon What store?
 
and they can both learn to stfu
 
@FAE Probably one that uses puppy mills, if that's what you're asking.
 
that top one needs to learn not to come near me when I'm sleeping
 
FAE
@MechanicalLoon It's potentially likely that he suffered from stress/trauma from being caged in bad circumstances then when he was a pup.
 
@kalina Does he come and snuffle your face?
 
6:21 PM
We bought him the same day he got to the store.
But we have no idea what the conditions were like before that.
 
@OrigamiRobot if by snuggle you mean jump on me and then walk up and down until he finds the softest part of my body so his bony legs dig into me and I wake up, then yes
since I moved in here, both dogs have learned that "fuck off" means "run away very fast"
 
@kalina I said snuffle.
 
THAT'S NOT EVEN A WORD
 
As in root around with their nose and sniff.
 
@kalina www.thefreedictionary.com/snuffle disagrees
 
6:23 PM
I hate life
leave me here to die
 
FAE
@MechanicalLoon Yeah, this is what could be more of an issue.
 
here is a picture of my house mate with a stupid hat on
 
@kalina I am just going to assume this is you.
 
@OrigamiRobot ...
 
In your fursuit.
 
6:26 PM
I wouldn't have linked it to chat had it been me
 
@OrigamiRobot Carter > dog
 
@Wipqozn I like both.
The optimal situation is to have a cat and a dog grow up together so they are the best of friends.
Then I could post all the cute pictures.
 
That is pretty adorable.
@OrigamiRobot and get all the stars?
 
FAE
@MechanicalLoon Did you go through any kind of crate training with him?
 
user15026
I'd star it.
 
6:28 PM
He has now arrived and is unprepared to hook up a new service! Joyous!
 
user15026
@sterno oh lovely, just what you want.
 
@Sterno without context this sounds like you've just had a cable guy turn up
 
@Sterno What is he just saying hello?
 
@Sterno That doesn't make sense.
 
@Sterno "Wait, why am I here again?"
 
6:30 PM
@FAE It's mostly my wife's dog, and she had admitted that she didn't do a good job training him.
It's "my" dog in that it lives in the same place as me.
 
FAE
@MechanicalLoon Ah, hm. How old is he now?
 
@MechanicalLoon you don't live with your wife?
 
@FAE Almost 3.
@kalina Not sure how you got that out of what I said.
 
I forgot how good the .hack//SIGN ost is
 
because you said it's your wife's dog, but it's called your dog due to it living with you
 
6:32 PM
 
He thought it was just a transfer
 
I'm not dyslexic
 
@Wipqozn Was there a .hack game?
 
FAE
@MechanicalLoon Oh wow, yeah, it might be a bit harder to retrain him at this point then. It'd take a lot of time and patience for you to work with him, but it can still be done if you reinforce the right behavior.
@ElfSlice There are several.
 
Oh, huh.
I had a friend a long time ago who was really into .hack
 
6:34 PM
@ElfSlice Yeah, I remember playing it for a bit.
 
Oh God, what is that abomination in my back scroll?
Its like the Donnie Darko bunny, but creepier because its for real life instead of a movie.

Q: Hold items used when breeding

C-dizzleI specifically remember an item in one of the older games that would increase the chance of finding an egg when your Pokemon are at the daycare. But for the life of me, I cannot remember what that hold item was. Is this item still available in XY and if so, where can I find it? What other hold it...

 
Wow. I just learned that my sister is using me as an excuse for not working on her algebra during school.
 
FAE
@Yuki Er... what?
 
Because I (infrequently) help her with studying, she claims she doesn't need to work on her homework because her brother will explain it to her at home.
She hasn't asked me for help with her math, or homework in general, in months.
 
FAE
6:44 PM
@Yuki Hrm. :/
 
I just got forwarded an email that her teacher had sent to our parents.
 
FAE
Well, I imagine that's awkward.
 
Yeah. Now I'm pretty sure her teacher thinks I either suck at teaching or am a bad brother.
 
or both.
 
D'aaawwww~, @kalina is sharing pictures of her family!
2
 
6:46 PM
While I might concede the former, I at least try to be a good brother.
 
your sister is 12, right?
 
they're not my family
they're people and animals that I intend to kill
the day I snap, those will be the first to die
 
@Wipqozn 13, but yeah.
 
Starbait successful. Thank you, Bridge.
3
 
@kalina Sounds like family to me.
 
6:47 PM
She's been on this whole "I'm an artist so I don't need math/science/etc." bend. It's annoying and extremely frustrating.
 
I still remember the time where you got attacked by a bee and your sister came onto mumble to explain it all.
 
FAE
@Yuki ...Ergh.
@Wipqozn Wait what
 
> You have fully used your vote allowance for today
2
GOSH DARN IT
 
@FAE It was during Monster Hunting.
And I'm allergic to bees and wasps.
I ran out of the room screaming like a little girl.
 
FAE
@Yuki Oooooh, okay.
 
6:48 PM
@RedRiderX I tried to star this: You have fully used your vote allowance for today
2
 
o_o
 
FAE
@Yuki Please tell me you had voice activation on.
 
Instarption
 
@FAE We were all playing Monster Hunter, when all of a sudden pure chaos broke out over the voice chat. I was so confused until his sister explained it, and then @Yuki explained it a bit further when he returned
 
@FAE Yeeeeep~
 
6:48 PM
@FAE Remember when we heard @Wipqozn singing to his cat?
 
@Red That's sad.
 
I ended up sticking around a lot longer than I planned becaus eI was worried he got rushed to the hospital.
 
@fredley Who will star, if no one is left to star!?
 
Also, it was hilarious.
 
Five whole hours until you get new stars!
 
6:49 PM
I still have all of my stars
 
@RedRiderX First they starred the bait, but I said nothing, because I am not bait...
 
FAE
@Yuki That is amazing. Not that you're allergic or anything, I'm really glad you're okay, but I kind of wish I was there for that. <_<
 
@Wipqozn It was pretty funny because, for the first minute or so, I was refusing to leave.
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot Yeeeeeees
 
Monster Hunter is that important to me.
 
6:49 PM
I think everybody who has used up all of their stars should be permanently banned from starring
 
I'm glad all my licking used up everyone's stars.
2
 
FAE
@Yuki You can't hunt monsters if you're dead!
Or can't breathe.
 
@Yuki I remember. You were so concerned about getting to a safe zone.
It was very admirable. Also silly.
Also hilarious.
 
@FAE But I can't die when I'm hunting monsters! I only faint and get carted back by a trio of cats.
 
@FAE Kitty cat, kitty cat, oh miss kittly cat
 
6:50 PM
@kalina sadface
 
@RedRiderX Take one of these though, it is to real stars as artificial sweetener is to sugar: ★
@OrigamiRobot ★
 
@OrigamiRobot I'm such a good singer.
 
FAE
@Yuki >_>
 
I'm like Beethoven.
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot heeehehehe
 
6:50 PM
@Wipqozn Beethoven was deaf
 
@Wipqozn deaf?
 
@kalina INB4
 
On the AGDQ, is there any ways to see when they're playing what?
 
puts @fredley on ignore
 
@fredley and a musical genius!
 
6:51 PM
@Wipqozn A Saint Bernard?
 
NOPE, I DON'T SEE YOU WRITING IT
 
FAE
@SaintWacko Here
 
@kalina strikes @kalina off the annoy list
@Wipqozn Composer, not singer - too bad!
 
I NEED FOOD
I AM HUNGRY

@fredley but still a musical genius.
 
6:52 PM
@Wipqozn And Austrian, and you know what they say about Austrians
 
Robots aren't all that nutritious.
 
@fredley Aww thank you.
 
@Wipqozn Not if you're a Saint Bernard.
 
@fredley ...they occasionally claim to be German and try to take over the world?
 
FAE
@Yuki I liked this movie a lot when I was a kid.
 
6:53 PM
@fredley They're usually in charge of Holy Roman Empire and are huge jerks who won't let you bully smaller nations who are part of the Holy Roman Empire?
 
@FAE Ooh, they're getting into the PC stuff now
 
@kalina Hey, hey, the Germans made them German first.
 
@kalina Careful, I might be into that sort of thing.
 
@fredley They get assassinated and start world wars?
 
FAE
@SaintWacko I'm sad, I missed Chip n' Dale. :( I wanted to see that one because my sister and I played that a ton when we were kids.
 
@FAE I'm sad I missed the Metroid stuff
 
FAE
@SaintWacko I would've liked to see Super C too because I played that a ton when I was a kid with my dad.
I think that's where I learned to swear so much while playing video games. >_>
 
user15026
@FAE I learned the cursing while gaming from my dad too :p (especially when the cat unplugged the console in the middle of my dad saving near the end of a FF game, and lost all his progress because the save corruptedl
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn Oh nooooo
I was at a friend of mine's house once and he had a friend over and the friend decided to be a jerk and push the power button in while I was playing.
However, I wouldn't let him let it go.
So I made him sit there and keep holding the power button in until I was done playing.
 
@FAE Serves the bastard right.
 
FAE
6:59 PM
@Yuki This is how I felt as well!
 
I did that to a friend of mine.

@SaintWacko Metroid Prime, Super Metroid, and Metroid Zero Mission aren't til Friday/Saturday.
