7:00 PM
@Yuki Indeed.
 
@FAE Hah
 
FAE
@RedRiderX I was like 10 or something, but there was no way I was going to let someone mess up my game! I would've been so pissed.
 
What game was it?
 
@FAE Although that would've backfired on you if you were using any of the modern consoles.
 
Hell hath no fury like @FAE gaming.

7:02 PM
 
FAE
@RedRiderX I don't even remember now. I didn't own it, my friend did. I can vaguely remember some of what it looked like in my head, but I don't know the title. It was vertically scrolling I think, and you had to shoot things and there were tanks and guns and such.
@Yuki Haha yeah
@RedRiderX And yes, I realize those descriptors don't really narrow it down much for a NES game, haha.
 
@fredley ?
 
It's awesome
 
@fredley Kinda interested, but I'm at work unfortunately.
 
@FAE Oh gee that sounds familiar.
 
7:08 PM
Apparently, someone thinks Michelle Branch and Michelle Trachtenberg are the same person.
YouTube, you so silly YouSoSilly.
 
Hmm.
Yeah I can't think of it.
Wait
Jackal?
 
Dammit, someone is eating chicken noodle soup at work. I can smell it and it is delicious!
 
@RedRiderX Best NES game.
 
FAE
@RedRiderX Holy shit I think that's it
Is that right?
That's what google's telling me is a screenshot of the game.
 
7:12 PM
That's Jackal!
 
How I hated the controls in that game!
A dual stick shooter with one stick. :(
 
@JasonBerkan You were lucky to get one stick in those days.
 
FAE
@RedRiderX I just looked at a youtube video and I'm pretty sure that was the game, thanks so much, haha.
 
Hah it's a classic. :P
 
@MechanicalLoon You were prolly lucky to get those graphics in those days too.
 
FAE
7:15 PM
Well, now you understand why I didn't want to stop playing!
Anywho, dinnertime now.

HIFI

Proposed Q&A site for proposed Q&A site for HiFi Enthusiasts, professionals, builders, and hobbyists.

Currently in definition.

 
Windows is so silly. "Pin this item to the taskbar" is right above "Close window" in the right-click menu.
The intents by behind both are so diametrically opposed, it's hilarious.
 
@Meraj99 In my day you had to walk 5 miles in the snow just to get a graphic. TWO if you were lucky. And we liked it!
 
> "Pin this item to the taskbar" - "I like this thing. I should always be able to see it."
> "Close window" - "Go away! GO AWAY! I HATE YOU FOREVER!"
Such terrible UI design.
Then again, I don't know what I ever expected from Microsoft.
 
7:31 PM
Songs without understandable words are the best
 
@3ventic S'why Coldplay got so popular, I guess.
Disclaimer: I actually like quite a few Coldplay songs.
 
Words take your attention
I listen to music on the background
so it's bad if it takes my attention

Q: Can you choose who you disguise as when disguising as a class with more than 2 players?

ZibbobzIn TF2, when I'm trying to sneak up on an enemy's sentry nest, my favorite thing to do is disguise myself as a friendly engineer, so that they expect me to help them fix the place up, before breaking out the sappers and stabbers. This doesn't go over so well when I show up as the engineer guar...

 
Hmm... is it called scatting or doo-wopping?
 
scat
 
7:36 PM
Thank you, Bethesda website. Ask me for language and region, just to force the German site anyway
 
@FEichinger I guess someone added location detection and forgot to remove that previous page.
 
@origami we have a release date.feb 18th
 
@Yuki Well, theoretically that previous page is the age gate ... But they even messed that one up, so ... yeh.
 
@Wipqozn Banished?
 
@Wipqozn Awesome!
 
7:40 PM
@Wipqozn That's the day before my birthday.
 
Oh wow, it's only 1:40p?
 
Which just happens to be @IanPugsley's birthday.
 
This day is taking a really long time...
 
@flutter yes
Get hyped
 
excite
 
7:43 PM
oh dear
Minecraft will be speedran this week.
possibly in five minutes.
 
@badp lol
 
provided you can beat it in 15 minutes
 
@badp Heh. When are they shoving that in the schedule?
 
@Wipqozn Source?

Q: What are the pros and cons of Saving and Sacrificing

RaphaelDDLPS Vita's Soul Sacrifice gives us a choice of Sacrificing or Saving a foe (and allies also). Searching for the 'best' approach I found some controversial ideas of what is good or bad. So what are the pros and cons of Saving and Sacrificing? Not thinking about what you think it's best, just list...

 
7:44 PM
@badp When do you consider that you've "beaten" Minecraft? Killed the Ender Dragon?
 
I hate @Fluttershy's new avatar
 
@Yuki I suppose.
 
/grump
 
@Unionhawk Wrong reply?
 
7:45 PM
Huh. I would like to see how one gets from start to killing Ender Dragon in five minutes.
 
@ElfSlice Oh crap, misread @Wipqozn as @badp somehow. Well this is embarrassing.
 
Pffft
 
Lies
 
oooooh TF2
 
@Yuki I'd say beat the wither, that guy is way harder then the enderdragon.
 
7:46 PM
TEE EFF TWO
 
@badp How does one speedrun TF2?
 
nevermind. It's the mask
 
MvM?
 
@Yuki Play as Scout
 
A TF2 screen was flashed for a moment
@Yuki and yeah, that sounds like a fun thing to speedrun
 
7:50 PM
Get hyyyyyyyppppppppeeeeee
 
@Wipqozn IS THE POINT TO SHOW THAT IT'S DOWN?
 
@OrigamiRobot It was up just a minute ago.
IT's been going up and down it seems,.
I think it got the reddit hug of death.
a bot took a screenshot though, luckily.
 
Ugh, reddit.
 
I ALREADY READ IT ANYWAY
 
@Wipqozn awesome.
 
7:55 PM
Tales of Maj'Eyal has character classes?
 
@3ventic Yes. I think.
 
I love when they have developers in a call on a speedrun. It's hilarious.
 
@ElfSlice Thanks
 
@3ventic I'm not 100% sure, I've never played it.
Yes, it has 25 classes, apparently.
According to the wiki
 
Helps in translating its strings
 
7:56 PM

Q: Does the different types of armor make the character look different?

infotechnologistDoes the armor change appearance on the character? Meaning when you change out armor as you go through the game, does the character start showing different armor appearance, as you change?

 
Also the commercial version is available on Steam
 
Yeah, I know
the workshop strings just got added to STS
 
blank stare
 
@OrigamiRobot Why? :(
 
@FAE Yay!
 
8:00 PM
@Fluttershy SHRUG
 
@3ventic It has tons of classes
And you can choose different races too
 
"tilesets" is a pain to translate
 
ToME is so much fun
 
@SaintWacko Yeah, don't worry, they're keeping "Kill/save the animals" open as long as possible.
 
> Browse for, or create new classes, races, quests, zones, user-interface upgrades, tilesets, and more.
That's all I know about Tales of Maj'Eyal
 
8:02 PM
@Wipqozn Where can this be bought?
 
@3ventic I know quite a lot, so if you have any questions...
 
Holy crap that donation goal has raised over $15,000
 
@Ullallulloo Pirate?
 
I'm already done with it
 
8:03 PM
@SaintWacko Steam.
 
@SaintWacko Nowhere, yet.
 
Oh, yeah, there's no buy.
 
I wonder if they're going to do a non-steam release as well.
Bonus points if anybody besides me cares
 
8:09 PM
I like how in the post, where he says Banished is complete, he goes on to say "without further delay" followed by "wait another month!" :P
 
@Fluttershy Steam integration, achievements, etc.
 
@ElfSlice I do. I hope they do a thing where you buy it once and get both Steam and DRM free
 
@ElfSlice Oh, I know. It's still amusing. :P
 
That way is much better
 
@SaintWacko I wish more developers would do that.
 
8:10 PM
glares at KSP
 
There's nothing like slamming a long, silver bullet into a well-greased chamber.
 
I converted my KSP copy to Steam and I shouldn't have.
 
@kalina Starbait fail. Although that may be due to the licking incident consuming everyone's stars.
 
So...Banished is just a graphical Dwarf Fortress?
 
I wasn't star baiting
that's a quote from Metal Gear Solid
 
8:14 PM
@kalina The original quote was also an attempt at starbaiting.
 
@Frank No.
 
puts on tinfoil hat
 
It's a citybuilding game, sure, but that's a pretty vague way to compare them.
 
@Yuki but Stack Exchange didn't exist back then
 
@badp Remember that discussion about minecraft versions last night? well the first 1.8 snapshot has been released ... which makes all the mods 2 versions behind now.
 
8:15 PM
@kalina Conspiracy theories aren't supposed to make sense!
 
@James good, that means Minecraft 1.8 is the only good version
 
anyway I am bored
 
it's got the modding API thingamajigger in it right?
yes? finally? two years or so late? surely?
 
that means "Entertain me", @badp
RESOLVE MY BOREDOM
 
@Yuki Dammit, I'm ... actually out of stars as well now.
 
8:16 PM
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
 
@kalina Set this person on fire
 
@badp I see nothing in the change log so far...
 
for he is being wrong on the internet
 
that's a YouTube video
Why would I go on YouTube
 
@kalina everybody who contributed to it is being wrong on the internet
 
8:17 PM
if I do that, I'll just end up watching The Fox again
and causing more brain damage
I can't afford to cause more brain damage
 
The Fox is also wrong on the internet. You should also set fire to him.
 
I only have one brain left
I totally had a game in mind to play today as well
and now I don't remember what it was
 
Ramanujan summation is a technique invented by the mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan for assigning a sum to infinite divergent series. Although the Ramanujan summation of a divergent series is not a sum in the traditional sense, it has properties which make it mathematically useful in the study of divergent infinite series, for which conventional summation is undefined. Summation Ramanujan summation essentially is a property of the partial sums, rather than a property of the entire sum, as that doesn't exist. If we take the Euler–Maclaurin summation formula together with the correctio...
 
@Yuki IT IS OKAY FOR SUMS TO NOT HAVE VALUES
It is not okay to kick Peano, induction and the rest of mathematics in the nuts for the sake of giving sums values.
 
@badp Stuff gets weird when you approach infinity
 
8:21 PM
@badp Note the part about "not a sum in the traditional sense"
It's mathematically useful to assign these numbers, it's not contradicting other math
 
no. It contradicts plenty of maths, like sum on integer numbers being closed
or the Peano axioms
 
> Ramanujan summation essentially is a property of the partial sums, rather than a property of the entire sum, as that doesn't exist.
 
@badp It's not saying that it's the sum in the traditional sense, it's assigning a number called the Ramanujan sum to a divergent summation
 
For starters these are all inconvenient details that the guy on YouTube is conveniently skipping over for the wow factor
 
@badp Well, yes, that video is very misleading
 
8:24 PM
@badp I now have brain damage
as a result of inputting this information into my brain, I have forgotten the names of my parents
I hold you responsible
 
@kalina ...
 
@kalina All we know is that your former self would have been happy that you forgot about them.
 
I WOULD AGREE BUT I DON'T REMEMBER
 
So really you should set fire to the people in that video and you can thank me later.
 
@kalina WE ALL KNOW YOU DON'T GET ON WITH YOUR FAMILY
GUILT TRIP FAILED
 
8:26 PM
What the paperbot said, yes.
 
I DIDN'T MEAN TO TYPE "GET ON"
I AM TURNING INTO SOME KIND OF BRITISH AMERICAN MUTANT
 
@OrigamiRobot So... you're becoming a Canadian?
 
@OrigamiRobot who knows maybe as a result of this brain damage she'll go on a self discovery hunt, rediscover her parents and love them once again!
and then set them on fire.
 
OH GOD IT'S WORSE THAN I THOUGHT, EH
 
@OrigamiRobot Curses, mate.
It's a bloody disgrace.
 
@badp went all Australian just there
@badp g'day mate
 
@kalina Hullo mayt
 
gonna go play on mah didgeridoo
 
@badp We should prepare for worldwide immolation, then.
 
attract me some roos
 
8:31 PM
The Heldric beta demo is quite good.
This game shows a lot of promise.
 
@FEichinger Is this a metric where the number of fires indicates the amount of passionate love @kalina feels toward the user?
 
@kalina I DO ACTUALLY HAVE THREE DIDGERIDOOS
 
@Fluttershy no, otherwise you'd be on fire all the time, obviously
some have theorised that it's a sign of affection BUT THEY'RE WRONG
 
D'aww. :3
 
I'm all out of Australium
Gotta get more hats
 
8:33 PM
@kalina Not sure if I should be glad, jealous or horribly frightened because of this.
 
setting somebody on fire is the family safe version of telling them to remove their brain with a spork to do society a favour
 
@badp ಠ_ಠ
 
well, some times, anyway
 
@Unionhawk You're just jealous of my unusual.
 
if I didn't set people on fire, I'd be constantly banned, like GnomeSlice used to be
 
8:33 PM
I missed the part where Gnomeslice set fire to people.
 
@Fluttershy Well, she bit paperbot earlier, and paperbot has the most fires on the all-time list... Make of that what you will.
 
...
I also licked @Fluttershy
 
@kalina You and your "logic"!
 
mmmmm it tastes like a rainbow
oooooh a party!
 
o.ô
 
8:35 PM
lol logic
 
lmao at the housewives doing the spinkicks
 
@ElfSlice ...?
 
@kalina I thought rainbows were incredibly spicy?

Q: How to react to jungle invasion?

Click OkLets say that I properly warded the jungle entrances from river (Golem and Lizard), and I'm happy taking my buff. In the mid of the process, I spot the enemy jungler and... I get frozen... I don't know what I do! I stop to get my buff and engage? I escape? I hide and wait to my opponent start to...

 
@kalina I'M NOT OPENING YOUTUBE LINKS WITH PONIES IN THE THUMBNAIL.
 
The townspeople help you fight.
 
@FEichinger it is a requirement
 
Nopenopenope.
 
you're such a disappointment
 
8:36 PM
Tsk. I just know how to avoid brain damage, is all.
UNLIKE YOU, MISS "HAVE TO CLICK EVERY YOUTUBE LINK"!
 
IT IS A WELL KNOWN FACT THAT @Fluttershy AND I ARE THE SAME PERSON
THEREFORE, ALL FIRES/LICKS/BITES ARE INTERCHANGEABLE BETWEEN US
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot Except when you're yelling at each other about your differences. :P
 
@FAE BUT WE BOTH DO THAT, SO WE'RE STILL THE SAME
 
@OrigamiRobot So ... Did you just save my statement from @kalina's logic or what?
 
@OrigamiRobot So you're a robo-pony?
 
8:39 PM
@OrigamiRobot I ... I think I need a shower. This is icky.
 
@FEichinger INDEED
@FEichinger <3

Q: Do the cars in Blocky Roads have different specs?

DanBealeThe game Blocky Roads has some cars which are locked. The game has an upgrade mechanism. Do different but unmodified cars have different handling characteristics, or are the differences only cosmetic? If a take the first unlocked car an upgrade all the parts to 10/10 will it be the same as the...

@kalina Uh ... huh. o.ô
 
8:46 PM
@ElfSlice We established this ages ago
 
And I just realized I'll have three exams on three consecutive days next month.
Dammit.
 
@kalina Screw you. Again.
 
@FEichinger That's crappy.
 
@FEichinger You are tied with me on the fire list...
Go get em, tiger!
 
8:54 PM
@OrigamiRobot Only on the 2014 one.
Not on the all-time one. You are way ahead of me there.
 
Awww, shucks.
 
(That said, I don't need to have fire set to me for that. :P)
... I'm tired. I'm going to take a nap.
 
lol nap
are you like, @Sterno's age?
 
PSH!
 
He's tired from all the screwing.
 
8:57 PM
HE'S tired?
 
> You have fully used your vote allowance for today
Oooooooh
 
I need 45 rep to cap today
hey, whoever starred that, he's already been starred for that
jeez, just give away stars for free why don't you
 
I'm not complaining. :P
 
@James this is not a world's smallest violin moment
 
8:59 PM
@kalina To each their own :)
