So, I was listening to "Let It Go" on my phone when I saw this poster for a free movie showing on campus:
 
Gravity disturbed me.
It was a very good movie, but really intense.
 
Anyone played Continue?9876543210 ? looks cool and surreal
 
@RedRiderX Giving of items now possible!
 
@BenBrocka Not yet, but I know somebody who has.
He really enjoys it.

Q: I would like to know how to tighten security

carlafter a spy gets away the screen sais I need to tighten security how do I "tighten security". it sais I need to tighten security

 
9:05 PM
sais
 
@BenBrocka ?
The user reviews on Steam are kinda mixed.
 
The question
 
@Lazers I think there's a fairly good chance this question is about tiny death star, and not swtor.
 
@GnomeSlice It looks like surreal weird crap, which always has mixed reviews. And I always liked
 
@BenBrocka Yeah, me too to be honest.
 
9:08 PM
@GnomeSlice I think that's already in my list. If it was, it's in there twice now
 
Heh.
@BenBrocka Oh wait wait wait, have you heard of/played Hippocampal?
 
In other news, I'd forgot that the @OrigamiRobot challenge was a thing that existed.
 
So there you go. Looks like Risk of Rain will be coming to Vita. :-)
 
Since I do remember now, though, here's your status update!
 
They're doing a crazy good job grabbing indies for Vita
 
9:09 PM
 
@BenBrocka Ooo, too bad I already have that game for PC.
 
Hippocampal is the surrealest, weirdest crap
 
@GnomeSlice oh cool, I already got that for Redshirt which I'm not sure I'll even play
 
9:11 PM
Oh wait, is that not the one with hippocampal?
My bad
@BenBrocka Sorry, I mixed it up.
It was in a different bundle.
Yeah whoops, was in the previous groupees one
Sorry
 
@fredley Oooh
 
@BenBrocka That was most of why I was considering getting it!
 
@RedRiderX give tom wooden sword
@RedRiderX I'll give it back, promise
 
@badp they haven't talked about that in a while
 
@BenBrocka Have you played Thirty Flights of Loving?
 
9:13 PM
@BenBrocka I just googled for it, apparently the numbers are a little under a month old?
So the actual sales now might be as high as 3.5M
 
@badp no one's released numbers since end of december
 
@badp Somehow I doubt they've only sold 3000 units so far.
 
@BenBrocka Oh wow, then we're talking 3.7M!
@StrixVaria At some point they said they sold 3M to the PS4's 4.5M
 
though sony had some closed doors thing where they divulged some other numbers they haven't before, 7.5 million Vitas, 50% of sales on Vita are digital
 
@badp Why does your graphic say 0,003M then?
Which is 3000, not 3,000,000.
 
9:15 PM
@StrixVaria 0,003M out of 1,000M or 1B
 
@badp 4.2 I think. And it's still sold out basically everywhere (they actually said that in their Event today)
 
@badp That is not an appropriate place for a comma.
I thought you were using one of those crazy european commas that actually acts as a decimal point.
 
@StrixVaria It's just commas for thousands, man. Good old vannilla eagle-approved commas.
 
@badp But you can't do that with zero thousands.
 
@StrixVaria It's in really light gray
also "0003M" looks like crap
 
9:17 PM
0,003M looks even worse
 
Nevermind I'm not actually using a font with monospaced digits

you can't bold in monospace?
HOW WILL WE PLAY BOLD PONG
 
@StrixVaria "monospace", for Markdown's puposes, is actually <code> - Markdown inside isn't parsed.
 
@StrixVaria |____WAT______|
 
@Yuki On my screen bold works (barely) but the italic one is fuzzier

I don't know what you did.

I did that.

Q: How do I get rid of my Criminal Record?

Paul MarshallIn Fallen London, we all come from New Newgate Prison, and most of us go back there sooner or later. Each time your Suspicion hits 8, you're hauled off to court, where the magistrate will sentence you to jail. (The first time this happens, two points are knocked off of your Suspicion; this makes ...

 
Hmm... do we one-box Reddit comments?
Nope.
 
@Yuki Man, I hope not.
 
9:23 PM
@Yuki We don't. :(

By the way, pretty sure this occurred in Canada. In America, the driver probably would've just run him over.

Q: When is the darkest time of day?

NiteCyperAs a vampire and assassin, darkness and night are like brother and sister to me. Within their cold embrace, I am best able to perform murderous and otherwise illicit deeds undetected. 19:00 (7:00 PM) is when night time begins for the purpose of my vampiric weakness to sunlight, and it ends at 05:...

 
Or just waited for him to get up on his own.
 
...
I don't get it
 
@RedRiderX I'm assuming the original subtitle was "I WAS FROZEN TODAY".
 
9:40 PM
Ah okay
 
btw, I'm not sure how much this was already known before today, but the Steam Controller got heavily iterated since its annoucement
 
What does it look like now?
I've seen a couple of different pics
 
user15026
Tamarind candy, ramen, and not getting hit by a car when I fell in an intersection. Good day is good.
 
Indeed
Not getting run over is always a plus
 
@RedRiderX how much time do you have?
 
9:43 PM
Uuuum
 
@badp You mean the removal of the touch screen and that stuff?
 
no idea
Is there no pics?
 
If you have 30 minutes:
 
must you sing me a song of its likeness?
 
9:43 PM
Ah okay
 
If you're really in a hurry, slide 39 has the current design.
@MadScientist Yeah.
 
@badp Ah right, ditching the corner button things
 
@RedRiderX and the screen, and getting diamond buttons "back". I didn't know any of this.
 
Yeah it seems to be swerving back towards a more normal pad
 
@AshleyNunn "All good things, all good things."
 
user15026
9:48 PM
@Yuki ....the fact you can just pop that stuff out of your brain is kinda impressive
 
@AshleyNunn I have watched this movie 8 times. I'd be more surprised if I couldn't.
When the DVD comes out, I'll see if I can spend an entire day speaking only with Frozen quotes.
Probably not, but I'll see how far I can get.
Context: Russian broke his ski in the cross-country, Canadian coach went out gave him a new one.
Good Guy Canada.
 
@RedRiderX @Sconibulus Sockets are much more sensible now (db reset)
removed a lot of cruft
 
user15026
On my ramen package, the only english says "flavour culture human ramen"
 
user15026
@Yuki That's because Canada is awesome.
 
@AshleyNunn "Human ramen"?
Not sure if want.
 
user15026
9:53 PM
@Yuki I am curious and apprehensive.
 
@AshleyNunn What's Chinese for 'soylent green'?
 
@AshleyNunn DATA ACCEPTED: @ASHLEYNUNN IS A PENGUIN
 
@SaintWacko Hahahahaha
 
@Lazers This post is a little creepy. This guy is taking his game a bit seriously!
 
@DavidM There's roleplay and there's ROLEPLAY.
 
9:54 PM
@Yuki Yeah! WTF?!?
@AshleyNunn This explains the recent rash of college students who've developed a taste for human flesh!
 
user15026
@DavidM So if I start chewing on people you know why
 
@AshleyNunn Who hasn't gnawed on a person here and there ...
 
user15026
Human ramen is THE MOST SPICY
 
user15026
I cant eat it
 
9:58 PM
@fredley I think I broke it by trying to 'take coin' before 'look fountain'
 
@AshleyNunn That might actually explain things then. Could be a misspelling of "Hunan". Hunan cuisine is known for its spiciness.
 
Methinks that it was supposed to be Hunan . . .
@Yuki Damn you and your faster typing!
 
@DavidM And my knowledge of Chinese culture!
 
@Sconibulus Oooh
A table is entirely missing from the db
how did that happen?
 
@Yuki It's not like you knew the Chinese for Soylent Green!
 
9:59 PM
@DavidM That's not Chinese culture...
 
@Yuki Yet . . .
 
"take coin" is obviously slang for "drop table"
 
@Sconibulus refresh and try now

Q: How do I fight Dr. Zomboss in the Pirate and Wild West levels?

Ilya MelamedI finished the game before the game changing updates, when the first update, which introduced the Gargantuars, was released I was able to play all the 3 gargantuar levels right away. After the latest update, which introduced the dr. Zomboss levels, I see the levels in all the worlds, but am able ...

 
give Sconibulus wooden sw;DROP TABLE mamota_users;--
 
10:00 PM
@DavidM "Soylent" is supposed to be a portmanteau of "soy" and "lentil", right?
 
@Yuki I would assume, but I don't know for sure.
 
Translating portmanteaus is a little awkward.
 
@Yuki I thought it was 'soil' and 'ent'
 
user15026
@Yuki Yeah, as soon as I had that in my mouth, I figured out it was likely supposed to be Hunan
 
user15026
@Yuki Yes.
 
10:01 PM
Soylent Green is a 1973 American science fiction film directed by Richard Fleischer and starring Charlton Heston and, in his final film, Edward G. Robinson. The film overlays the police procedural and science fiction genres as it depicts the investigation into the murder of a wealthy businessman in a dystopian future suffering from pollution, overpopulation, depleted resources, poverty, dying oceans, and a hot climate due to the greenhouse effect. Much of the population survives on processed food rations, including "soylent green". The film, which is loosely based upon the 1966 science...
 
@Chippies How is Aerena?
 
user15026
Well, my nose is no longer stuffed up.
 
@AshleyNunn So there's that!
 
"黄扁绿" (huang bien lv) would be the closest transliteration.
But that's just "soy lentil green".
 
@fredley hmm, giving sword may have broken "buy drink"
 
10:02 PM
@Yuki Ah you and your tricky Chinesing.
 
user15026
@DavidM Indeed. Now trying one that has a picture of noodles and beef and broccoli.
 
user15026
Perhaps it will be less spicy
 
And by that I mean broken everything
 
@AshleyNunn Or perhaps, more!
 
maybe because it is marked as both equipped and not in inventory?
 
user15026
10:03 PM
(Me going ramen shopping is mostly me shopping based on the pictures on the label)
 
Weird, I just tried to add the pronunciation but it disappeared.
 
超世纪谍杀案 - According to Chinese Wikipedia.
 
user15026
@DavidM I dunno, pretty sure I could spit fire right now.
 
@JasonBerkan Yeah, that's not a transliteration of the title.
 
I speak 3 languages, none of which are Chinese . . .
 
user15026
10:05 PM
I speak one, can understand a second sorta (french) and dabble in a third (Russian)
 
@JasonBerkan A translation of that alone would be something along the lines of "The Case of the Century's Greatest Killing Conspiracy" or something like that.
 
@Yuki That makes the movie sound MUUUUUCH better than it really was!
 
@DavidM Yeah, but doesn't quite roll off the tongue like "Soylent Green".
 
I can tell you that any time I watch thoracoscopic surgery being done, I find myself thinking . . . "Hmmmmm . . . It's been a while since I had ribs!"
The inside of the human rib cage looks a lot like that of a pig!
 
@DavidM TIL doctors are strange.
 
10:08 PM
@fredley Ah okay
Nice
 
user15026
@DavidM That is both hilarious and disturbing
 
@DavidM I can't remember which show had that one line of someone saying "Is it wrong that I'm craving red meat right now?" while watching a surgery.
 
@AshleyNunn Exactly my response the first time it happened.
 
I think the character was pregnant at the time too.
 
So my Minecraft login doesn't work any more
Great
 
10:09 PM
@Yuki IDK. Probably Gray's Anatomy! (Worst medical show ever!)
 
@DavidM Don't think so. Haven't watched a single episode of Grey's Anatomy. I've read a bit of the book though.
Yes, I know the book doesn't spell "Grey" the same way.
 
user15026
I just hope no one thinks of food when they've opened up my head.
 
Might've been Scrubs though.
@DavidM How do you feel about Scrubs?
 
True story: Scrubs was the MOST ACCURATE medical show EVER!
 
@DavidM 'twas also damn funny.
 
10:10 PM
@JasonBerkan Hell yes
 
Not the best doctor show, though
 
@SaintWacko What would you nominate for that?
 
@DavidM Doctor Who
Duh
:P
 
Hear that sound?
That's the sound of 15 faces hitting their respective desks.
5
 
I know I'm about to ignite controversy in here: I've NEVER WATCHED A SINGLE EPISODE OF DOCTOR WHO!
 
10:12 PM
@FEichinger It's the sound... of silence.
 
@DavidM My word. I was unaware that you were a monster.
 
@Yuki It was the sound of one hand clapping.
 
@FEichinger Good, it had the intended effect
 
@DavidM To each their own. I like it though if that'll encourage you to watch an episode.
 
@DavidM No, that's "cl"
 
user15026
10:13 PM
@DavidM That's okay I don't hate you
 
Or "ap", I suppose, if you're left-handed
 
@DavidM IIRC, you didn't like Frozen. I don't hate you for that, so I'm definitely not going to hate you for not watching Doctor Who.
 
@SaintWacko WOW! You're on a . . . roll? . . . today
 
@DavidM bows
 
Yes, I hated Frozen (and musicals in general)
And, I am a monster. I admit it.
@lesspop declared I was one just the other day for liking Guero better than Midnight Vultures.
 
user15026
10:15 PM
@DavidM I dunno if I can be your friend anymore :P
 
3 mins ago, by Wipqozn
@DavidM My word. I was unaware that you were a monster.
 
I didn't go to Evil Medical School for 6 years to be called Mister . . .
 
Wow. I'm the only one of us who doesn't hate @DavidM for hating Frozen? <not serious>
 
@Yuki It's because you are the purest soul.
The TRUE acolyte of Walt Disney.
 
Walt Disney was a dick
truly. I took a whole class about him
 
10:17 PM
@spugsley Yes, but he did found his own religion.
 
@DavidM I just don't have a problem with people hating my favorite shows. As long as they don't try to make me hate said favorite shows, I'm fine.
 
@DavidM he was also a Nazi sympathizer
 
Argh. I hate it when the GPS on the bus I want to take home is not working. I can't time my leaving perfectly so I don't have to stand outside in the bitter cold.
 
@Yuki You'll note that I've never once declared that anyone was wrong for liking it.
 
10:18 PM
@spugsley That was a bit overblown (coming from my perspective as a Jew)
 
@DavidM he used cartoon propaganda
 
Lots of people were Nazi sympathizers back then. And then they found out about just how far Hitler went with the concentration camps and whatnot.
 
that's how Mickey Mouse got started
 
In the early part of the 30s it was not unusual for people to be admirers of Hitler because the atrocities hadn't become public yet.
@Yuki That.
@spugsley That's a bit of a stretch.
 
user15026
@spugsley Not entirely true.
 
10:19 PM
I think quite literally no one thought the concentration camps were as bad as they really were.
 
@Yuki In the 1930s, they quite literally were not.
 
user15026
I know from research that many many many people were shocked when it all came ot light.
 
@OrigamiRobot @TimStone Two more let's players doing banished
 
@AshleyNunn you're right. It might not have been Mickey now that I think about it
 
10:21 PM
The Nazis initially used them to assassinate dissidents. It wasn't until Goering, etc. came up with the concept of mass liquidation that they became what they were.

Q: First possibility vs. sub-possibilities

NiteCyperIt's hard to phrase this since I'm doing it at another's behest. I suppose the question is, does When is the darkest time of day? warrant being a question separate from Does natural light affect detection?? Despite my protest at kotekzot's edit, I admit that it was worthy of being asked first. La...

 
Disney's first successful cartoon was Oswald Rabbit. (Who has been bought back by the company in the last few years leading to mass marketing of a long eared Mickey hats.
 
user15026
@DavidM Yep. They used him in one of the Epic Mickey games. :)
 
@SepiaLazers Literally the same paragraph in both questions.
 
By the way guys, Bravely Default just got ridiculously dark.

Q: No Chemistry Sets?

crayzeedudeI've been playing TF2 as a premium player even before Chemistry Sets came out, and I literally haven't found a single one. Are they even rarer than hats, tags, paint, and the works?

 
SPOILER ALERT: Two little girls (sisters), both of whom I estimate to be no older than 9, just killed each other over a hairpin. A hairpin that you later find out is made from the wings of fairies torn from their carcasses. Said fairy wings also induce extreme paranoia, greed, jealousy, and a whole host of other bad emotions.
 
My wife just texted me that both kids are 50th percentile for height and weight. Which considering they were born at like 10th percentile for weight is an accomplishment in 5 years!
@Yuki Just like Law and Order . . . Ripped from the headlines . . .
 
user15026
@DavidM This is a good thing, yes?
 
@DavidM Yeah for average!
 
Granted, it's not explicitly said they're dead (which is probably why the game is rated T), but it's so heavily implied, the subtext might as well be text.
 
10:29 PM
My first 3 kids were 50th for weight and like 90th for head size. Freakin' bobbleheads.
 
Oh, so the reason I've never watched Dr. Who . . . Too many years of backstory that I could never watch. My TV show OCD won't allow me to pick up a series in the middle (especially after like 40 years!)
 
@DavidM Honestly, you can start with the new series.
 
@AshleyNunn Very! Especially because they barely eat anything!
 
user15026
@DavidM You can start with 2005 reboot, and be fine.
 
Doctor Who's always played fast and loose with continuity, so...
 
10:30 PM
I guess . . . but it doesn't play well into my psyche . . .
Don't ask me why
 
user15026
It's not something that works for everyone :)
 
OMG! I'm watching a rerun of King of Queens, and he built a mini-fridge into his nightstand. WTF?!? Why haven't we ALL done this yet?
 
@DavidM Because I would get ridiculously fat within a week.
 
@Yuki You don't have to stock it with food. Just cold water, Diet Coke, etc.
 
I wake up in the middle of the night on occasion because I'm hungry and the only reason I don't walk to the fridge and pig out is because I don't want to get out of bed.
 
10:32 PM
And, on the show the compressor noise keeping him awake wound up being the comedic foil.
 
I get hungry really fast.
On average, I feel full (read: not hungry) after a meal for about ten or fifteen minutes.
And then I'm hungry until I eat again.
 
@JasonBerkan My twins were born at 37 weeks, and one weight 5 lbs, and the other 4#7oz. I don't remember their head circumferences (see the earlier comments about me being a monster).
 
I've gotten better at resisting hunger, but I gained a lot of weight the first year of college and I'm still working on getting it all off.
 
@Yuki That is difficult.
 
@DavidM I'm about 10 lbs. short of/over my pre-college weight right now, I believe.
 
10:38 PM
@Yuki I weigh about 10 lbs more than I did in college. But, it's like 30 lbs more than I've weighed for most of my life since then.
I had surgery on my gut 4 years ago, lost like 40 lbs, and then gained it and 30 more lbs back out of revenge.
 
Also, I learned that Chinese people have ridiculous standards for "fat". I just barely broke 200 lbs. freshman year and I'm around 170-ish (maybe less) right now and my parents still call me "fat".
 
@Yuki How tall are you?
 
@DavidM 5'9''-ish?
 
I'm 6 foot 220#
 
@DavidM That's a lot of unconverted inches.

Q: Where are my saves?

Ashley NunnI noticed while I was playing that the game tells me often that it has saved. I assumed that meant that if I quit, I could come back later, and my game would be there, at the last save point, and I didn't need to manually save. However, I came back to the game today, and my save was nowhere to b...

 
Oh wait, never mind.
 
@Yuki Per the BMI chart, your BMI is 25.1 which puts you at a teensy bit overweight.
 
@DavidM Yeah, but "teensy bit overweight" doesn't translate to "fat" in my mind. At least not the way my parents say it.
 
user15026
@Yuki If it makes you feel any better, by BMI standards, I believe I am morbidly obese.
 
@Yuki You are correct.
 
user15026
10:45 PM
@Yuki :(
 
@AshleyNunn It's okay. I think that just means there's more of you to love.
 
BMI fails to account for things like muscle, the size of your skeleton, etc.
 
user15026
@Yuki <3
 
OK, I gotta go to the lecture. I will check in later.
 
user15026
I am big in just about every way. It doesn't bug me - I can still do the things I want to do :D
 
10:46 PM
Granted, I think I'm stealing that from some random show I can't recall the name of, but the sentiment's there.
 
@FEichinger I honestly don't understand how you're being so hostile to this user and his situation. Another user came along and edited his question to change it's intent, so he re-asked his original question. Not the best course of action, sure, but people fuck up, just like kotkoerzdkoaskd did when he edited his question to begin with.
I also don't know how to spell kotkasodks name.
 
@Wipqozn kotekzot or something like that?
 
IT's clear his intent is different, and that he was just trying to get his original question answered since it appeared to him that someone took over his original question.
@Yuki Yes, the cat.
 
@Wipqozn Huh. Just looked him and he has less rep than I thought he did.
Okay, never mind.
What's the number below your name when you search under the "Users" tab then?
 
@Yuki It's the reputation you've earned within the time range you're in.
By default I think it does it within a week.
 
10:49 PM
@Wipqozn Ah. That's explains things.
 
@Wipqozn Either the user accepts that it's two different questions - and then also posts two different questions - or they disagree, in which case they should edit their question instead of friggin reposting it. Posting literally the same thing and then going to meta saying "But these are totally different!" is nonsense.
 
@FEichinger I think he only went to meta because someone told him to if kotekzot had indeed changed the intent of his question.
Possibly because he didn't know meta was a thing. New users do that.
 
@Yuki Which is a different matter than the duplicate, though.
Nite also isn't exactly new, and has been to meta quite a bunch of times.
That said, I have to be up again in six hours, so ... naptime.
 
@FEichinger I don't see anything nonsensical about going to meta when you have a problem and you're not sure how to solve it. That's exactly what meta is for.
A user edited his original question to change what he was asking, and so he asked another question to get his original question answered.
He should have done something differently, sure, but people make mistakes.
 
@Wipqozn @FEichinger's problem is most likely that the user went ahead with his own solution and then went to meta to ask for a solution.
 
10:57 PM
We shouldn't insult them to give them a hard time because of it, especially when they do the right thing after their mistake: Going to meta.
He didn't get into a shouting match with comments. He didn't start swearing at people and getting into a rant in his meta.
His meta is very calm and clearly worded, and he's just trying to get some help.
all your attitude is going to do is make him rethink going to meta with a problem in the future and instead just say "fuck it".
 
So. Our transport hub has a computer system that gets estimated available transport and manpower resource available and the tasks we are required to complete each day and automatically assign and optimise the resources needed for each of these tasks
 
@Yuki Which is the wrong to go about things, sure, but that doesn't warrant the hostility this user is getting from feichinger.
 
Then each day our clerks completely throw out these optimisations and assign vehicles and people by hand
 
The user made a mistake. He's trying to fix it. Heck, he's taken my suggestions and edited his original question.
 
Hmm are some good android emulators?
 
10:59 PM
He's being very understanding, level headed, and cooperative.
 
@Wipqozn I'm looking at the meta and I'm not seeing the hostility from @FEi. Just an italicized "literally".
