2:01 PM
all this diablo 3 talk
it's like it's 2012 again
 
I spent an hour downloading Diablo 3 updates last night but didn't play
Then I got all excited this morning when I logged in and it said "Reaper of Souls" and showed me the Crusader class. But it was a total tease and wouldn't let me create one.
 
I have that blizzard beta client thing so all my patches are automagically downloaded
 
@BenBrocka That image is of exactly how far I've gotten in Thief!
 
@Sterno Yeah that's pretty garbage.
My blizzard beta client thing barely works on Ubuntu. At least it can launch D3 though!
 
your fault for using Ubuntu
 
2:05 PM
It really is, I agree.
 
only problem I have with that beta client is its insistence in logging you out once a week when your authenticator code expires
 
Solution: Remove your authenticator.
 
Good morning, Bridge
5
 
Maybe you'll get lucky and someone will hack your WOW account and you'll never have to play again.
@Frank I normally don't star this, but I shall in protest of yesterday's double star removal!
 
2:08 PM
@Sterno I'm not saying it because I want stars. I don't care about that.
 
@Frank I know. I just said it because it entices the star clearer to clear again, creating delicious drama.
 
@StrixVaria ...no
@Frank yes you are, don't lie
it's all about the stars
 
@kalina I really don't care about my initial greeting getting starred.
Just like I don't care about the stars being removed.
 
I know you don't, I was just testing the kind of mood you were in
 
WHO CAN TRUST A MAN WHO DOESN'T CARE ABOUT STARS?
 
2:14 PM
sadly you don't appear to be in a dramatic mood
@Sterno I KNOW I AGREE COMPLETELY
 
@kalina I just woke up. Number of fucks given: 0.
 
you just woke up?
that's pretty impressive for you
isn't it like 10am?
 
@kalina 8am, actually.
 
oic
I didn't realise you were -6
 
@kalina All the cool people are -6
 
2:17 PM
I'd rather live somewhere warm
 
It is currently -30 outside.
With a windchill of -37.
 
yeah sorry, that sounds like "wake up, look outside, go back to bed" weather
 
Canada = a cold and barren Hell
 
The predicted low for tomorrow night is -40.
 
It's a balmy 12 degrees here.
 
2:19 PM
@Frank So net it feels like -67?
 
it's 8 degrees c here atm
 
It's supposed to snow another 7-11 inches here again on Monday.
 
No one understands your crazy Celcius measurements
 
@StrixVaria Nah, it feels like windchill.
 
@StrixVaria 7-11 inches?
 
2:20 PM
@Sterno Let's put it this way: At -40, it doesn't matter anymore.
 
@Frank Is there a significant difference in feeling between -30 and -37?
 
@StrixVaria yeah, 7 degrees worth
 
@StrixVaria Not really. Just, "feels really freaking cold".
For reference, -20 is around when the beard starts freezing.
 
@Sterno This is correct.

Q: What is this symbol for in vehicles?

Zero StackI have noticed this rhombus / Square shape with a dot in the middle in the bottom right corner to the left of my health while flying the jet. What is this for?

 
2:26 PM
@Sterno -40 is where C and F intersect.
 
@OrigamiRobot I disapprove.
 
I never want to go to a place where that's relevant.
 
@OrigamiRobot this
 
Let's take a moment to honor our comrade, @JasonBerkan
 
@OrigamiRobot I'll get back to you if I survive my 30 minute walk Saturday morning.
 
2:31 PM
a bunch of people tonight cut all of the tires of cars parked in our street
luckily our cars were stowed in a garage, but...
 
@badp Wow
 
They were probably targeting the Lady Sniffer and just weren't sure which car belonged to him.

Q: In general is it better to get critical, damage or health in bit dungeon

bob at bob dot bobI always go for damage but recently I've been losing far short of my expectations, and I was pondering if it was better to get something else or to get small amounts of everything.

 
May 22 '13 at 11:52, by OrigamiRobot
I had a dream that @kalina was criticizing me for hitting the snooze button...
May 23 '13 at 11:46, by OrigamiRobot
I had a dream that a duckling I was taking care of for someone drowned :(
Feb 13 '13 at 20:40, by OrigamiRobot
One time, I had a fever dream that I was a ping pong ball factory.
 
^ I want some of whatever he's taking
 
2:41 PM
May 20 '13 at 19:26, by OrigamiRobot
I had a dream last night that I had a pet sloth. It was so awful.
Mar 20 '13 at 18:01, by OrigamiRobot
I dreamed that I was connected to a machine that pumped out tiredness and pumped in energy.
Nov 15 '12 at 12:28, by OrigamiRobot
@pixel I had a dream that you told me an edit I made was too trivial. The end.
Apr 11 '12 at 11:23, by OrigamiRobot
In this episode of Origami Robot's dream, @FAE gives continual Diablo 3 and MtG advice to @Blem. Every 10 minutes sharp.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?

Dec 26 '12 at 18:06, by OrigamiRobot
Usually my fever dreams are insane and off the wall. This time, I was just talking to @GnomeSlice.... I don't know what that says about anything.
Sep 25 '13 at 14:09, by OrigamiRobot
I had a dream about a zombie camel the other night.
Sep 7 '13 at 10:16, by OrigamiRobot
@badp came to visit the US. Everything was going fine until he called @spugsley a reptile and pushed her. When she reported this to SE, @Mana told her she had to leave the site. She called @Raven for a 2nd opinion, but got the same response. I deleted my account in protest. @Wipqozn and @RonanForman were very sad that the trip was ruined.
 
@OrigamiRobot I want that machine!
 
I remember many dreams nowadays.
@BenBrocka The dream team.
 
FYI the word "fire" causes @fei a notification ping now

Q: How do you use commands in command blocks?

bob at bob dot bobI have a friend who can make incredible things happen in minecraft but says that it would be too hard to explain, I want to know how to use a command block so that I can show him I'm smarter than he thinks.

 
2:44 PM
@kalina @feir
 
lol feir
 
MY BRAIN HAS SHUT DOWN APPARENTLY
 
"apparently" hehe
 
@kalina Love you, too >.>
 
@kalina well yes, those 2 sentences before that made it apparent. I didn't say it was on before that
 
2:46 PM
At least it showed me a bug in the code.
Free testing, yay.
 
@fei wrote something and it had a bug in it
the world wasn't surprised
 
@kalina OH SCREW YOU.
 
<insert tumbleweed image>
 
>.>
 
@FEichinger well, to be honest, it'd be very surprising if anyone wrote a program of any kind of complexity without bugs in it
 
2:47 PM
@KevinvanderVelden "complexity" ... Psh, it's just ~200 lines of JS.
 
@FEichinger given how much you can express in JS it's still pretty complex
If it were 200 lines of basic I'd say it was reasonably possible to have no bugs in that
 
@OrigamiRobot I don't know
 
@OrigamiRobot That pinged me, yes.
@OrigamiRobot Yes.
@OrigamiRobot No.
@OrigamiRobot Yes.
@OrigamiRobot It only uses the actual text nodes.
So science.howstuffworks.com/...
Which doesn't include a fire
(And it doesn't use your own messages either, so I can say fire all I want, without ever hearing a ping.)
@OrigamiRobot Code is right here
It's also case-sensitive.
 
Oh gods why?
 
Someone found the star button.

Q: What camouflage is suitable for air vehicles?

Ivan SolntsevI like to ride with tiger camouflage on vehicles, but it is easy to spot. Will i gain something by selecting camouflage? Will vehicle will be harder to spot? (for example, on hardcore, when there is no spot overlay). What camouflage is better for helicopter or jet?

 
@FEichinger you should totally make an AI that classifies any image posted and pings you if they contain fire
 
@KevinvanderVelden ... Yeh, no.
 
@FEichinger why not? It's a fun project that should only take 10-20 years of your life!
 
2:57 PM
(For that matter, I also get pinged by my name, "SEScripts", and "Banished")
 
And it's case-sensitive.
 
@OrigamiRobot Is that the default titlebar style now?
 
@BenBrocka I was going to ask the same thing
 
@BenBrocka I have no idea.
> FIREFOX 25.0 RUNNING ON UBUNTU O.S.
 
Ooh, legendary pants.
 
Thank you, @badp.
 
so much hate
 
I had to unignore @FEichinger to move messages. This upset me.
 
@badp I am disappointed
 
3:01 PM
Let the hate flow through you
 
@badp Why would you even ignore me? Tsk!
 
@BenBrocka there is no hate
@FEichinger you had to ask?

Q: Can you cancel the "cut" command in the pasture?

PhilippI accidently clicked the "cut" button of one of my pastures and the worker has started to cut down the fruit trees. Is there a way to cancel this command?

 
I guess it still looks like this
 
3:02 PM
What? Why did my "kill them with fire" message deserve to go to android hell! I was talking about the person starring random things (and maybe the stars themselves)!
 
@KevinvanderVelden mod abuse, scream it with me
 
@kalina Yes, actually.
 
@FEichinger really?
 
Now look what you did
 
3:04 PM
@FEichinger Ignore him back!
 
@kalina It's my fault now?
 
yes
 
@OrigamiRobot Nah, that'd be too easy.
@kalina ... Okay.
 
@KevinvanderVelden He missed one of mine.
 
@OrigamiRobot favouritism!
 
3:06 PM
@OrigamiRobot inconsistent mod abuse!
 
oh noes, 2 hours left and I don't want to do any more work
how am I going to get away with this
 
@kalina Walk up to you boss, say "nn!" and flop down on the floor.
 
I feel like you're hinting at something
I can't quite work out what
 
22 hours ago, by OrigamiRobot
@kalina It made me audibly chuckle every time you'd say "nn!" and your character would just flop down and sleep wherever you happened to be standing at the time.
You never listen to me T_T
 
but... text... read... listen... confused...
 
3:10 PM
@kalina You would have heard my ping.
 
is that a euphemism
 
that's disgusting
 
I don't know what for.
 
POKEMON IS COMING TO NETFLIX
 
3:12 PM
I love what they did with that banner
 
Indeed
 
@Fluttershy The original anime? Because it was terrible.
 
@Wipqozn in which everyone in the world is outclassed by a complete idiot who can't keep his pokemon for more than 3 episodes
...Ash really IS Twitch Plays Pokemon
 
@Wipqozn Was there a pokemon anime that wasn't terrible?
 
yesssssssss
 
3:16 PM
@badp how well does that run for you? I get horrific stutter with vsync and unplayable tearing without it
@OrigamiRobot allegedly the new one which was only a few episodes
 
@BenBrocka I had no issues with performance in Guacamelee.
Never even looked at the graphics options.
@Fluttershy How much of it?
 
Drops like 10 frames every second on the second for me, no idea why

Q: Is there a way to approve a rejected edit on my own question?

Ilya MelamedI've got a message that there is a pending edit for my question How to find a secret case within a case?. By the time I saw the message and went to review the edit, it already got rejected by two users. However, the edit is valid and adds good information to the question. This edit was done by an...

 
FAE
@BenBrocka Nooo, agh, why. I only just got Black recently. :<
 
3:23 PM
@FAE Pokemon Transporter will work. But don't even bother with GTS or online battles I guess
 
@BenBrocka So is that supposed to be the new path for indies to get on XBLA?
Or whatever it is now
 
gen 5 looks awful after gen 6 anyway. Worst animations I've seen since bad use of SNES mode 7
@RedRiderX new only
 
Oh.
 
@FAE and Entralink, the actual unique online feature was shut down a long time ago
 
Time to check out Whimsyshire on Torment 1.
Or...not. Game just booted me.
 
3:43 PM
@OrigamiRobot Pokemon Origins was pretty decent.
 
Hmm, are any of these 3DS games any good?
Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins, or Yoshi's New Island.
I kinda want to buy one and get Pokemon Y so I have them both =p
(Both being pokemon X and pokemon Y)
 
@KevinvanderVelden Is Yoshis New Island out?
 
@Wipqozn I'm almost done with LBW, and then I'm going to start Etrian Odyssey.
 
@StrixVaria Excellent.
 
I also bought Bravely Default and Fire Emblem: Awakening recently, which will come after that.
Etrian Odyssey is going to take a long time, I'm sure.
 
3:47 PM
@Wipqozn march 14th
 
My D3 install was finally done optimizing and updating... this morning
 
But the deal runs until march 31th or something
 
Has anyone found any good deals on RoS?
 
@KevinvanderVelden Yoshi's new island isn't out yet. ACNL is great but you have to be "into" that sort of thing. IT's my favorite Animal crossing though
 
@BenBrocka ACNL sounded pretty cool from the description, I might get that one
 
FAE
3:49 PM
@KevinvanderVelden I've enjoyed what I've played of MK7 so far, though that's not a lot, and it partially depends on how much you like MK in general. There's MK8, which will be coming out for WiiU this year I believe. I've played pretty much every Animal Crossing, so I loved AC:NL, but YMMV if you've never played before.
 
@KevinvanderVelden If you're not entirely opposed to digital, it's one title I wish I had digital. Keeping it in my DS all the time made me avoid playing other games
 
I like mario kart, but as a party game with friends on the TV (given that I'm the only person I know in meatspace that has a DS of any kind)
 
FAE
@KevinvanderVelden I have one! :P
 
@FAE meatspace =p
 
FAE
@KevinvanderVelden In the grand scheme of things, I'm a lot closer to you in meatspace than most of the people here.
 
3:51 PM
@KevinvanderVelden DKCR is the sort of game I'd recommend on home console if you have a wii, dunno how much/if they've improved the 3DS version though
 
And we should actually totally meet each other sometime =p
 
FAE
@KevinvanderVelden Uuuuuh @ typo >_>
 
To much talk about meat space =p
@FAE yes <_<
Hence me capitalizing the correction at first
 
FAE
@KevinvanderVelden Reminds me, are you going to that games con thing in July in Den Bosch?
 
@FAE no concrete plans as of yet
 
FAE
3:56 PM
@KevinvanderVelden Jochem and I are thinking we'll probably go to check it out at least one day, likely not the whole weekend though or anything.
 
@FAE jeah I doubt I'll go more than a day as well. Let me know when you decide which day you're going :)
 
@StrixVaria I'm... not really sure. The article I read was lacking a lot of info.
 
FAE
@KevinvanderVelden Shall do, it'll likely be Saturday for us, as that's also usually the day that the most stuff happens. When they release more of their schedule, we'll let you know.
 
Sounds like fun :)
 
@Fluttershy I hope it has the newer stuff (i.e. everything after Kanto).
 
4:03 PM
I present to you... Dark Souls II, the 80's cartoon:
 
@KevinvanderVelden OMAI
 
@OrigamiRobot I FIXEDED THE TYPO
To much use of the word meatspace
Also:
This is a thing apparently
 
FAE
@KevinvanderVelden I used to love those when I was a kid. I've always loved pinball machines though.
 
@FAE ... I was gonna reply you could buy one for the next few minutes but the deal just ran out
Like, halfway through typing my sentence ><
 
@StrixVaria I look forward to learning how this goes for you.
 
FAE
4:09 PM
@KevinvanderVelden Well, dang. Ah well, I don't need more clutter in my house anyway.
 
@BenBrocka It's running very well. Surprisingly so.
 
FAE
Going to go finish up House of Cards, back later!
 
@FAE What if the clutter was a dremel?
 
@FAE it might become availabe again, I don't know if you know the site iBOOD?
@OrigamiRobot a dremel is never clutter
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot That's not clutter, how dare you.
 
4:10 PM
It is always useful and practical and awesome
 
FAE
@KevinvanderVelden I don't think so.
 
@FAE it's basically a "one deal per day" site, but today (and probably tomorrow) they're having a hunt which has deals which change every 15 or so minutes
 
FAE
@KevinvanderVelden Oh okay, neat.
 
iboodhunt.1dagskoopjes.nl will refresh and make sound when it changes.
 
@KevinvanderVelden wat
 
4:12 PM
@badp hmm?
Yes the site is currently selling a 6-7 kilo ham, so?
 
@GraceNote The end of LBW or how I enjoy Etrian Odyssey?
 
@StrixVaria The latter.
 
I usually like JRPGs but I also don't like the FF4 remake because the boss fights are stupid.
 
sryhghjkhjgjkhhjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj
 
@GnomeSlice awjelrajerkj!
 
4:13 PM
@StrixVaria Heh, hehehe, hehehehaehehaeeeehaaahooheho
 
@GraceNote I have no idea what this means.
 
(Which EO, by the by?)
 
FAE
@StrixVaria You're so screwed.
 
Millennium Girl
I have no problem grinding in JRPGs.
 
FAE
@StrixVaria It means @Grace is going to drink up your tears followed by a delicious snark chaser.
 
4:14 PM
Grinding isn't as much the issue as figuring how best to approach things.
 
I do have a problem grinding for 5 hours and then having the boss wreck me anyway because it's got some gimmick, and you're expected to fail a few times while you figure out the gimmick.
 
@StrixVaria In honesty, while the game is harsh, the number of times that the boss's strat is irrecoverably fatal is not that high.
 
@GraceNote That's good to know.
 
You can come vastly unprepared but still pull victory out by proper turn play.
 
It's entirely turn-based, right?
 
4:16 PM
Yes, you pick your actions for all your team, then turn order progresses based on priority and speed stats.
 
I also wasn't a huge fan of the ATB in FF4. The speed at which you could menu affected the battle.
 
I remember in EO4, using a random party of mostly low-levels to hand in a quest and talk to some NPCs, and then suddenly I accidentally engaged in a rematch against one of the hardest bosses in the game. We actually won the fight though, in spite of being beyond unprepared.
 
I like when you have to approach different battles differently. I don't like when approaching it wrong guarantees death before you have a chance to adjust.
 
I remember being really excited by the first EO and then really disappointed.
I don't remember why, I just remember having those feelings.
 
The only things I don't know with respect to Millenium Girl, is how flexible the story party is if you play Story mode, and also how the one particular secret boss is.
 
The very first EO had a secret boss that literally required turn-by-turn play guides to not die miserably. Not in any pattern-based fashion, but someone actually had to go and hand-document what turns what happened, assuming you didn't do something that made the boss lose this predictability and turn completely random in using one-hit-party-kill moves that you only have a 1/3 chance of blocking right.
They got a lot nicer about that kind of thing in the later games, no one is nearly as absurdly cheap. But since Millenium is a remake, I have no idea how this guy is in the remake.
 
I also have no problem with optional bosses being stupid powerful.
 
@BenBrocka ?
 
@BenBrocka as long as the contents are mint. I think it's acceptable. Though the value is depreciated a bit as a whole for a collector's item
 
The gold wiimote is probably too much bling anyway
Also you should have the money back guarantee if the item has not indeed "never been opened or removed from the manufacturer’s sealing (if applicable)" and "in original shrink wrap (if applicable)", right?
 
4:26 PM
@badp true
but none of my CE boxes look anything close to that bad. I guess what's inside the box matters most though
 
Depends why you want the box
CE items should come with two games, one to play and one to put in a crystal container
otherwhise what's even the point?
 
@badp They really should. I mostly wanted the wiimote though
 
@badp I know a guy who buys two of everything he considers special, so that one can sit unopened.
 
all this talk is maing me want to go back to EOIV.
I was on the third floor of the third dungeon when I took a break.
 
@Wipqozn Why did you take so long of a break?
 
4:32 PM
@Krazer I didn't buy the game at release, if that's what you're thinking.
I'm bad at just stopping a game and then not going back for a while.
 
@Wipqozn but that's natural for tortoises~ It's in you nature to take it slow
 
It's true.

Q: What is the Impostor Level?

PACHas anyone else gotten a level called the Impostor? It's supposedly a food place but they only sell more Impostor products. Is it an error in the game or a temporary thing until a new level comes out? I had a bitizen with an Impostor dream job but I jettisoned him out the airlock weeks ago :(

 
> 3th
 
3th party developers always have access to worse tools than 1rd party
 
@BenBrocka ... I ... I think I just lost some brain cells.
 
The whole blog is insane
