3:01 AM
Well all, I must get so I can be up for work in the morning. Nice chatting with you!
 
But on a slightly more serious note, I REALLY want to ski Whistler. My location will likely be dictated by jobs in any case.
 
Cradle probably isn't going to get funded.
=[
 
STUPID ARTIST STATEMENT
I think this will be the death of me
 
@GnomeSlice Just got this time thing.
 
@spugsley <insert scolding for saying such as stupid thing here>
 
3:03 AM
@StrixVaria I need to experiment with it some more to figure out what it actually does.
Seems like you can take a 'snapshot' and then return to that state later?
 
@FEichinger you are being so sweet tonight :3
 
@GnomeSlice Sad, but I guess they might find a publisher... game looks nice
 
I think it may just be health and MP
@Fredy31 Yeah...
 
@spugsley He's being LAZY is what he is >_>
 
hope so.
 
3:03 AM
LAZY
 
it does look great
 
INB4 AN <insert something something> IN REPLY TO ME
 
@Unionhawk yes but given his usual grumpiness, this is really nice :3
I think next week I will get a tattoo
 
@Fredy31 Sure does.
pls
 
@Yuki so apparently Frozen tattoos are happening already media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/c6/10/52/…
 
3:05 AM
@spugsley Will it be Fluttershy's cutie mark?
 
@Fluttershy lol no it will definitely be @Gnome's face
best. idea. ever.
 
seriously, this is my year for not giving a fuck about what other people think
red hair this week, tattoo next week. I'm a new lady
 
@spugsley Good!
Also
Re: Video Games
 
3:06 AM
(being back on anxiety meds is also helping lol)
 
Is it just me, or does this actually look pretty good.
 
I think if I pause it for long enough, eventually it'll be fine.
 
@FEichinger this just makes me imagine that you look like Nathan Fillion and well...you know how I feel about Nathan Fillion ;)
 
FAE
@spugsley Do research into the studio that you're thinking about, read reviews about their work and their artists.
 
@spugsley ...
 
3:07 AM
@GnomeSlice I'm level 16 and I can go to the Spectral Gate.
 
@FAE yup, did all that. Already have the artist picked out :)
 
@StrixVaria The waa
 
@FEichinger mhmmmmm
 
Since the last area goes up to level 25, I feel like that's probably a death sentence.
 
@StrixVaria I have 'butcher's lair'
 
3:08 AM
@GnomeSlice That's the 4th area?
 
16-25
 
I already cleared that one.
 
@StrixVaria Yeah.
 
I'm level 16 but the one after 16-25 has appeared.
 
It says it's levels 16-25 though.
Weird.
 
3:08 AM
@spugsley I'm feeling two ways about this.
 
FAE
@spugsley What are you getting?
 
> HINT: The blacksmith secretly likes to urinate on white slimes
lol
 
I don't have a problem with tattoos on other people, but I'm very iffy about getting ink in my body.
 
@FAE a thin line of script that says "There's no one road"
 
On the other hand... FROZEN.
 
FAE
3:09 AM
@spugsley Also did you check their health certifications?
 
@spugsley I do not look like Nathan Fillion. I most certainly don't.
 
furiously scribbles notes
 
@FAE yeah :) I have a friend who has gotten all of her tattoos from her. She's amazing and has won a bunch of competitions and stuff. Her shop is one of the best in NC
 
FAE
@spugsley Woo! Sorry if I'm being nosy, but I prefer my friends not to get Hep. >_>
 
@StrixVaria I'm scared to try and do the butcher's place until I'm at least level 20. I'm playing on classic mode.
Permadeath.
 
3:10 AM
I'll probably switch to permadeath once I finish this run.
I want to see all the things first.
 
@FAE no! It's totally fine :) I absolutely get it but I'm very very very careful (yay anxiety) so I'm only going to go to somewhere I feel safe :)
 
Riposte just did 4k damage
 
@GnomeSlice I did 4k damage with my ult.
 
It's so useful that it tells you exactly how much damage it will do, barring you miss, I think.
 
@spugsley If I were to get a Frozen tattoo, it'd be of the snowflake in the beginning.
 
3:11 AM
Riposte is like my new favourite thing.
 
I'm going to prove NBC sucks with SCIENCE; taking a ratio of event to commercial time and comparing NBC to CBC
 
@GnomeSlice Riposte is one of my favorite words
 
FUCK I JUST DIED
 
I suspect NBC will have a much lower event:commercial ratio
 
3:11 AM
RIP @GnomeSlice
3
:(
 
CANCEL CANCEL CANCEL CANCEL
 
@FEichinger well, it doesn't matter because I have a fucking fantastic imagination :3
 
closes window
 
@spugsley I don't like where this is going. Not one bit.
 
FAE
@spugsley Awesome. I wish I could get a body mod the way I wanted it. I don't want a tattoo though, I want something that represents impermanence, and you can't really do that with a tattoo. :P
 
3:12 AM
@FAE nose ring
 
@FAE Haha yup :)
 
or other ring
 
@GnomeSlice I LOVE MY NOSE RING
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice Not my type of thing.
 
@FAE belly button ring?
 
FAE
3:12 AM
@GnomeSlice I have my tongue pierced, that's it.
 
@spugsley should get a dolan tattoo
 
@GnomeSlice omg
 
@StrixVaria I just cheated.
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice Other piercings risk getting in the way of things.
 
@spugsley Agh, I can't find a good image of the snowflake.
 
3:13 AM
@GnomeSlice How do you cheat?
 
@StrixVaria If you close the window after you die you can reload your last save.
I feel dirty.
I should go die and start over...
 
@GnomeSlice Oh, I did that a bit with XCOM.
 
@FAE how about some kind of dermal piercing?
 
Just don't play with permadeath.
 
@spugsley Nipple ring!
@StrixVaria Yeah yeah
but you get less item drops!
 
FAE
3:14 AM
@spugsley I can't do subdermals, I have a brain tic about things embedded in my skin.
 
@FAE ah ok
 
FAE
@spugsley What I've heavily considered is scarification, etching, or cell popping.
 
@FAE cell popping? Never heard of that
 
@FAE TIL @spugsley and @FAE are way more hardcore than me.
 
@Yuki :p Because I have a nose ring and want a tattoo?
 
3:16 AM
@Yuki Curious revelation, isn't it?
 
@FEichinger Honestly, I've been suspecting it for quite awhile.
 
Hardcore for a dude is a pierced scrotum
 
@GnomeSlice Hardly.
 
FAE
@spugsley It's essentially a type of branding done where you heat up a needle and use it to burn the skin in a dot matrix design. It'll heal over time. Tends to be more well known in BDSM communities.
 
@Yuki Well, @FAE, yeh, sure. @spugs, not so much.
 
FAE
3:17 AM
@GnomeSlice Which kind?
 
@FAE What? The pierced kind.
I don't know, I just wanted to say scrotum
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice There are several types of piercings.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice There's more than one.
 
25 secs ago, by GnomeSlice
I don't know, I just wanted to say scrotum
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice sigh
 
FAE
3:18 AM
Either way, this conversation's not entirely appropriate here and I don't wish to make anyone uncomfortable, as the subject's come up before.
 
user15026
@spugsley When I graduate I wanna get my first tattoo....of likely many. :P
 
@AshleyNunn :) Yeah I have lots planned
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn I've also held off because I worry about sensory addiction.
 
user15026
I just like the idea of making me into art :D
 
This Canadian commentary is great :D
 
user15026
3:20 AM
@FAE I'm not super worried, I just have lots of art plans :P
 
user15026
@Unionhawk That is because Canada is awesome.
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn I once wanted to make a Marque from Kushiel's Legacy that was a design of House Mandrake for the top that would trail into a design for House Valerian on the bottom.
 
@AshleyNunn Apparently!
 
FAE
As a full backpiece.
 
user15026
@FAE Oooooh that would work pretty nicely.
 
3:22 AM
New version of the level script is online. It should prompt for an update in the next day or so
 
user15026
@Ktash Can I get a link for it again?
 
user15026
I am going to start with a bumblebee on my right wrist, then a whale on the left wrist, both like cute cartoon things.
 
user15026
@Ktash Thank you :D
 
I'm working on the numbers for average Commercial/Content ratio between CBC and NBC. I have a feeling I know who the winner is going to be already...
 
3:24 AM
@GnomeSlice I just did 3224 damage with a non-ult, non-riposte.

Q: I've Leveled Up! - Leveling System for Arqade

KtashWe all love to gain experience rep here on Arqade, but wouldn't it be great if that translated into a leveling system? Don't you just want to see your experience bar build up as you answer more questions and gain more super powers privileges? Well wait no more! Through this special online only o...

 
user15026
@Ktash Hm, it makes this a touch squishy (the flags are now overlaying a different part of the top bar
 
@AshleyNunn ??
Mod one has more stuff, doesn't it
 
user15026
@Ktash Yeah
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn I also once seriously, seriously considered getting a Triforce tattoo on the back of my hand in UV ink and also a weak point from Shadow of the Colossus done in UV ink. Unfortunately, they tend to brown over time. :(
 
3:25 AM
Yeah, I figured that might be the case
 
@StrixVaria Nice.
 
user15026
So it gets squished up and things shift
 
I made it smaller, and moved the bar to the bottom, but was told inside was preferred
 
user15026
@FAE Yeah, they do. :( I've seen someone do the triforce in white on their hand, it looked neat
 
@AshleyNunn Mind taking a quick screenshot of the squishy part so I can see it and fix the problem (hopefully)
 
user15026
3:25 AM
@Ktash Sure!
 
user15026
Well, I will when I can
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn Oooh, nice.
 
@AshleyNunn No rush :)
 
user15026
@Ktash It just requires there to be a flag count, and there isn't one atm
 
@GnomeSlice Just did the same through a guard lol
 
3:28 AM
@StrixVaria wut
Does the barbarian have a chance to ignore guard?
 
Not sure.
I have a lot of trouble repositioning to get enemies to stop guarding, though.
So eventually I just said "screw it I'm attacking"
 
Yeah, sometimes it takes like 4 tries in a row
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Hey, I watched that episode on TV last week!
 
It sure does sound like an episode of Law and Order, doesn't it?
 
3:34 AM
> Boy howdy, does that look great!
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Not sure if truth or desperate cry for attention.
 
Is that a real language?
 
Although the last one apparently is confirmed, right?
 
That's the description I left for one of the level script images
 
@Yuki yes. She's in jail and awaiting trial.
 
3:35 AM
CBC results: 4 minutes of commercials, 8 minutes of content (end of event, will repeat measurement)
 
So she's definitely committed at least one murder.
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice Korean
 
@FAE What does it say?
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice I don't know, I don't speak Korean.
 
How did you know it was Korean?
 
3:36 AM
I know NBC has a worse than 2:1 event:commercial ratio. Much, much worse.
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice Because I recognize it.
 
@FAE [insert racially insensitive comment here.]
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Criminal Minds, actually.
 
3:39 AM
@Ullallulloo It means "Hi"
Hah
 
FAE
@LessPop_MoreFizz :P
 
Aqua Kitty is pretty nice.
Would be nice if it supported 1920x1080 resolution, but eh.
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice Yeah
The music's pretty good
 
@GnomeSlice That was moderately hard to type.
 
@Ullallulloo I was wondering how you did that.
 
3:46 AM
I've got to say, the curling commentary is a lot better from CBC than NBC does.
I guess that's to be expected
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice this game makes me swear a lot
 
@FAE Aqua Kitty?
I did the first few levels, will do more tomorrow. Haven't lost any of the miners yet, although I did 'die' on the last one I played.
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice Yeah, I'm on level 10 and it can get hectic
 
Space ARPG.
The only negative things I've heard about it are about the graphics.
> While it doesn’t have the flashy, immediate appeal of a conventional Pinata-popper like Diablo, Drox Operative provides the greater gift of a world in which the action part of ARPG has consequences, as does inaction. It’s the advancement of the genre that so many people have given up on searching for and Soldak have been providing it for years. - RockPaperShotgun
 
Oh: In re: sweeps: sweeps have happened at seven different olympics, with at most 2 sweeps per olympics. The Dutch skating thing is a record. I know that now because Canadian broadcasting (thanks, Canada!)
 
user15026
@ktash:
 
user15026
 
@GnomeSlice You're about a week late with that one. :P
 
@Fluttershy SO
 
Oh wait. Only 4 days.
For some reason, I thought Valentine's Day was a week ago. <_<
 
FAE
4:03 AM
@Unionhawk The Dutch take skating super seriously for the winter games. In the summer, it's swimming.
 
Also I just found a game I have never heard of before that I immediately want after seeing the screenshots. store.steampowered.com/app/261960
 
@AshleyNunn Hmm, yeah, got it
 
@Fluttershy Oh, makes sense it was released on Vday
 
that is a bit tough
 
user15026
@Ktash Yeah, I figured accounting for it might be problematic.
 
FAE
4:04 AM
@GnomeSlice This sounds like the kind of weird abstract artsy crap I'd love
 
@FAE Yes, I know. It's a national pastime. By comparison, there is literally 1 speed skating facility in Canada (also thanks CBC! Learning! Actual informative commentary!)
 
@AshleyNunn Also, chrome still doesn't support the icon?! Rough beans
 
FAE
@Unionhawk Some people desperately hope for cold winters long enough for the Elfstedentocht to be held again, which is an 11 city skating tour thing. It almost happened in 2012, but the conditions weren't right.
 
Oh well, TPP is again agaist giovanni
3 hours later
 
QUICK USE DIG AGAIN >_>
 
4:06 AM
Cut on onyx. I just died a little
 
I'm gonna go to bed.
 
If they switch to democracy again, I'm going to be mad.
 
Goodnight everyone.
 
@AshleyNunn Try it now
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice motion sickneeeeeeess
@GnomeSlice Goodnight!
 
user15026
@Ktash waits for flags :P
 
Where does that pidgeot find all that sand for doing sand attack over and over again
 
FAE
@Fredy31 Don't question it, down that path lies madness.
 
I dont care, I went mad years ago
No trace of sanity here since 91
Who would have known that with a pokemon 20 levels over, it would still take 20 minutes to beat a pokemon
 
Greetings.
 
4:16 AM
And now for the destroyer of worlds, Kangaskhan
and giovanni is out
 
user15026
@DavidM Heya
 
after a goddamn day in the maze
 
@Fredy31 Don't question Pokemon logic.
 
@AshleyNunn How's our girl?
 
Wow. I think I was basically right on the money there
Around 24 more hours
 
4:17 AM
@Unionhawk I said 36. I think I'm closer.
They entered at 4d 14h and beat Giovanni at ~6d 03h
 
user15026
@DavidM Happy she bought rounded needles this time, because now when I stab myself I won't bleed on my cross-stitch. Stitching tiny Mario mushrooms!
 
Yep. I'm off by one hour.
 
@FEichinger Well, aren't you special.
 
@Unionhawk I WIN THIS ROUND. AGAIN.
Is all I was subtly trying to tell you.
 
@FEichinger I would say this goes for ALL video game logic. How many people do you know who can walk for miles carrying full armor, multiple battle-axes, etc. and then turn around and fight immediately.
 
4:19 AM
@FEichinger VERY SUBTLE
 
@Unionhawk Psh.
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn You should give us photo updates. :D
 
This must be the best tweet ever.
Canada leading the Olympics in silver medals, which is basically a more polite way to dominate. #owntheleftsideofthepodium
 
@Fredy31 Canadians sure are good at rationalizing the fact that they're only second best.
 
Those moments where you were certain of what you had in you clipboard, but were wrong.
 
user15026
4:21 AM
@FAE I finished one 1up mushroom, working on the red mushroom - intending to make these into keychains, for my crafting stuff with my friend. :D (We've started getting stuff in order for a table at a con in October :D)
 
Well, with mafia leaders down, I'll go get some zzs
Seeya people!
 
I should not have looked at the medal tables :( (still catching up on tonight's action)
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Didn't make it to Long Island after all. And, was supposed to go Thursday instead. That's looking like a bust, too.
 
@Unionhawk Teeheehee.
 
@FEichinger >_>
 
FAE
4:22 AM
@AshleyNunn Oh cool!
 
@DavidM Meanwhile, I spent all day feeling sick and sleeping through cold meds.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Well, that sucks.
 
user15026
@FAE Yep. I am pretty excited. And these are fun to stitch while I watch my shows, because then I get to watch and my fingers have something to do
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn That's always handy
...no pun intended
 
user15026
:D
 
4:24 AM
Uh oh ... PC.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz You been watching True Detective?
 
@FEichinger SPOILER ALERT THEY RELEASE EVERYTHING
 
@Unionhawk Not this time! Phew.
 
@FEichinger Yes they do. I know things.
 
@Unionhawk You're demonstrably wrong.
 
4:25 AM
@DavidM DAT TRACKING SHOT
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Buh?
 
@FEichinger Your face is demonstrably wrong. </discussion>
 
@Unionhawk I know a fair amount of people that would agree.
 
@FEichinger Well, there we go, we are in agreement on that point.
 
I also know a fair amount of people that would disagree.
I think the people who agree with you are wrong.
Very wrong, in fact.
 
4:27 AM
@FEichinger Those people are demonstrably wrong.
 
@FEichinger Well, I think that @FEichinger and @Unionhawk have called an interesting question. Is FEichinger's face demonstrably wrong?
 
@DavidM You.
YOU.
YOU MISSPELLED MY NAME.
ignores
 
Congratulations! Wecome to the "@FEichinger will ignore you if he decides he's done talking to you" club! (it usually wears off)
 
@DavidM at the end of the last episode (Or at least, the last one I watched.)
Like a ten minute tracking shot of a raid on a home, and then a chase...
 
@DavidM TOO LATE TO FIX THAT. I SAW THE ATROCITIES YOU COMMITTED.
 
4:28 AM
with crazy crane movement and shit?
 
Aww... he was lying
LIAR
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, I'm trying to watch the one from Sunday. Great freaking show.
 
@Unionhawk I'm just too lazy to actually put someone on ignore right now.
 
@DavidM Oh. Well then, the last ten minutes or so of the episode
 
Except for you. I would always put you on ignore.
 
4:29 AM
is DAT TRACKING SHOT
 
@FEichinger DIE
 
and you'll know it when you see it.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Ahhhhhhhhhhh . . .
 
wait...
 
And then if you're like me, you'll want to watch the opening sequence of The Player or the opening sequence of Touch of Evil, or the restaurant shot from Goodfellas.
 
4:30 AM
NOTHING HAPPENED
NO EVIDENCE
NONE AT ALL
SHH
 
@FEichinger I was going to make a really inappropriate atrocities comment, but I've played the Jew card too many times today . . .
@LessPop_MoreFizz Ha!
 
@DavidM Controversial Opinion: I think the opening shot of The Player is better than the opening shot of Touch of Evil.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Hmmmmmm . . . been a while since I've seen either.
My bias always leans toward Hitch, though.
 
Oops. Touch of Evil was Orson Wells, wasn't it . . . duh.
 
4:36 AM
@DavidM Indeed it was.

Q: Mega ring problem in Pokemon X

JamesI've done both the upgrading my mega ring and trying to find the stones in the right location but there not there and I did everything right.

 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Have you seen Rope?
 
 
@DavidM Yup.
 
Did you know it's a myth that they shot it without cuts?
It was shot with very few cuts, but, they edited it perfectly so the cuts occur when they walk through doors, etc.
 
Oh, look, Democracy again.
And start9 is making its point again.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz The Player is more impressive. But, it is contrived to look like Touch of Evil and Rope. But, Orson Wells was a pompous self-important ass. So, I will grant you your controversial statement as being valid.
 
@DavidM It was also shot with equipment roughly 65 years more advanced that what was available making Touch of Evil.
Which ain't nuttin'.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Absolutely correct.
The funny thing is with all my photography experience, I only do still work. I have had no interest in cinematography!
I have a friend in France who is a brilliant cinematographer, though.
 
And then there's the Restaurant Shot from Goodfellas.
Notably one of the first ever major uses of Steadicam.
 
4:53 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Steadicam is a pretty fascinating device!
 
hello again
 
Although, you can just tie a camera to the head of a rooster. They have a ridiculously steady vestibular system!
@spugsley Yo!
 
user15026
@spugsley Hello! :)
 
OK, Imma gonna watch True Detective. For whatever reason, I cannot multitask that show . . . Very strange.
 
@AshleyNunn would you mind reading over my artist statement if I sent it to you on steam?
 
user15026
4:56 AM
@spugsley Send away!
