@BenBrocka ...so are they Content IDing the... tree?

@TimStone For the first 2 years I was here I thought you two were the same perosn.

@BenBrocka :O

@Wipqozn He's actually gotten my Skype messages before, heh.

@FAE I have no idea what it thinks it's IDing, but it's something in that scene

I figured it was content IDing some cartoon looking face or something before I saw the screenshot

3:03 PM

Oh ContentID, how you're terrible.

@TimStone Earlier, I thought you changed your gravatar and almost cried.

@BenBrocka ugh

@OrigamiRobot Me too! Then I was like "...wait..."

@BenBrocka What the hell

First time I've gotten a visual match. If they're this bad I'm amazed I'm not constantly getting them

@BenBrocka My video I took down recently said it had a visual match.

It only provided a timecode though, not a screenshot.

3:05 PM

that's just the video at the timecode (there's not much else at that one second)

Right.

It was an indian music label who content ID'd mine...

I didn't know for sure that they didn't own the footage though, my prof provided it to us in school.

Infuriating is most places take the full month to actually review their disputes. So if I don't want to give them free money for stealing, I have to wait for up to a month to publish

The dispute thing was too scary

@GnomeSlice Which is exactly the point.

And I wanted to release it as soon as possible since it came out this week

3:06 PM

@BenBrocka Wait, they ID'd it before you published it?

People submit claims just to scare people into submitting.

That's the process under which patent trolls work.

That's stupid

@GnomeSlice yeah it usually tries to match as it uploads, though there are periodical rechecks

@OrigamiRobot That would be a grave injustice, I'd never do that. Except on Meta, where I did, kind of.

@Wipqozn exactly

3:07 PM

@BenBrocka Wait, it's automated?

@TimStone NO! I WILL NOT LOOK!

@TimStone You should make a gif of that.

First your avatar, adn then BAM! Timstone is revealed.

@GnomeSlice Yes

@GnomeSlice yes, entirely. They upload clips to be content ID'd and the system pattern matching does the rest

@OrigamiRobot It's okay, I flagged it as offensive and then self-validated my flag, just for you.

What a relief.

3:09 PM

I went to view the deleted message only to remember that @GraceNote removed my room ownership again.

@fredley Soda chat sucks

@Wipqozn It's okay, you're still italic on my screen. Your legacy lives on through my lack of willingness to restart Chrome.

@TimStone yay!

@fredley Also you missed one of the links.

@BenBrocka The crazy part is, the updated sprites for the enemies actually look pretty decent.

3:11 PM

utterly unreadable

It's just the player sprites that look like crap.

@Frank They've shown in the past they can make decent high res monster art (the PSP remakes look great RE monster art)

Frank

@BenBrocka So I don't get how they can do well in one area, and completely screw the pooch in another.

3:12 PM

the player sprites just look awful. I wonder if there was lots of talk of making them "clean" for "mobile users" who don't like those 16 bit nerdboxes for nerds

It's a shame since it sounds like the UI actually works well

@StrixVaria After washing them by hands for the first 4 months like an idiot, I realized that just getting a thing that hold baby bottle nipples and doing it all in the dishwasher is like 9000 times easier.

Yes, that's parenting proptip #1.

... #ParentHacks

Honestly it's all pretty pointless to get worked up about sterilization unless you suspect it's come into contact with something scary. After the first few months everything the baby finds goes into the mouth and you can't sterilize everything.

Other than sterilizing new things you buy

Last night, I was in my wooden shelter with a wooden door, cooking some chicken. A couple guys saw my fire and started hitting my door with what sounded like basic stones.

@BenBrocka cow = harvest moon pre-order?

Yeah

3:25 PM

@GnomeSlice I want to buy it just because of the suitcase pigeon

@BenBrocka Do it, and upload a video. It's pretty popular among indie people right now.

@3ventic What is this supposed to be?

Just Counter-Strike play? Seems kinda boring.

@Yuki Check about half way through

maybe a bit over

@3ventic Just hit it. Yeah, that's weird.

3:31 PM

Also the left side of the video is on the right for some reason..

@3ventic Augh. My nightmare is crap like this will happen sometime in the middle of a 2 hour video or something

It's not the video only

I had the same color issue in the game

Oh, weird

Is it still Beta?

That's all raw footage

Shadowplay is, CS isn't

you know what I hate above all else about this job?

unisex toilets

@kalina Don't get pregnant.

Pretty much this in every fantasy RPG ever.

@GnomeSlice I... er... but... nevermind

@kalina That's a crime against humanity.

you obviously didn't do sex education at school!

@Sterno I know!

oh god, it's like using public restrooms

3:46 PM

@Sterno To keep sane, I believe Phoenix Down is some kind of fourth wall-breaking item that only works on characters you can control.

TZHX

I think work toilets in general are awkward, when you go in and can hear your manager straining out a shit.

@Sterno Some games at least call it "KO" instead of dead though, and the "revive" item really just wakes you up. Classic separation of story and gameplay though

whole load of acrobatic hovering techniques going on

@TZHX well, this is escalating quickly

let's change subject

People who talk on their cell phones in the bathroom at work at the second worst.

The worst are the people who talk to me in the bathroom at work.

@Sterno That would be weird.

@Sterno uuuu... I hate when people try

@Sterno That's why I prefer RPGs where you only have one chance. The character dies, it stays dead.

@Sterno +10 to awesome parenting

@Sterno Oh god, that is so awkward.

@GnomeSlice So ugly ...

3:50 PM

@MartinSojka No way, looks great.

Do you know what's a fun game? 'Delete me' chicken. 2 users have to set their name to 'delete me'. First person to chicken out loses. If you get deleted, you also lose.

Obviously being a chicken is a pretty awful fate.

@fredley Your brain is a scary place.

@Sterno Why do people ever do either of those

@Wipqozn If I say yes, are you going to somehow ensure I never like it again?

@AshleyNunn no, I'm going to brag that I'm eating some right now.

@AshleyNunn Most likely.

@tombull89 Nobody else seems to have transformed into a diamond as a result of modernisation though.

@Wipqozn You are the worst

HOW EVERYTHING OUT

Dear developers, If your "Please update this" message box only links me to your website where I have to manually download and reinstall the latest version, I will never update your software.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot There are rare cases where I will (Calibre, because it makes ebooks suck less), but essentially, yes

4:01 PM

Really can't believe Valve can't just hire a bunch of cheap QA staff to just sanity check greenlight stuff and if there's working non-virus game and it's not... this, throw it out on Steam in some limited or full manner

It would take like 2 minutes for them to confirm stuff like this is unacceptable

@OrigamiRobot I'd say that's a feature. If your current version runs, and you don't feel like you need to update, then don't. Never touch a running system.

@BenBrocka But that would cost money that Valve just doesn't have... I can't keep a straight face.

@MartinSojka Then they should stop nagging me to update.

@Yuki Well everyone is paying $100 to get in anyway...

@OrigamiRobot You can typically disable that. I know I always do.

4:03 PM

Valve could just... you know... change the charity it goes to.

I literally cannot even download elder scrolls online...

@MartinSojka Most of the software that has the option to disable it is capable of updating itself.

@3ventic Good. Don't bother.

I won't.

2 bluescreens are more than enough to drive me away from a game.

@OrigamiRobot I hate that. FileZilla is only slightly better. It downloads a zip. Much better than a website, worse than "press this to install update"

@3ventic ouch

And they both happened when the download was about to start...

4:05 PM

crashes are what made me finally ditch Motionjoy. Turns out there's a much better driver that does everything it does but...well, better

@OrigamiRobot That's kinda tangential though.

I wonder when we're finally going to see the My Immortal of videogames.

Morning, Bridge

Man that might be the final killing blow to cursive. Not that I sign in cursive, but wrather a series of squiggles that vaguely resemble my name

Also checks, kill (personal) checks please

I think I might start playing Harvest Moon ANB again. I'm getting the itch.

@MartinSojka No, it's exactly what I'm talking about.

KitFox

I just pulled out Harvest Moon yesterday.

@BenBrocka No! Never!

@OrigamiRobot I thought you were talking about the software which can't update itself and instead tells you where to download the update.

4:10 PM

CRAP

@Wipqozn I think I need to just sleep for two months for it to be winter so I can get some better tools

KitFox

If we give up checks, then banks will start upping the network fees for credit transactions, just like they screw you with ATM fees.

I had a test in my 10 am, and I JUST SLEPT THROUGH IT -.-

@MartinSojka Yes. Your solution was "Disable the message that tells you it's out of date." I am saying that the software that has that option can usually already update itself and is thus not what I am complaining about.

@OrigamiRobot You can disable the update check in every software.

4:12 PM

What is for lunch?

@MartinSojka That is certainly not true.

@Sterno Pizza.

user15026

@Unionhawk Oh no!

@OrigamiRobot That is, certainly, 100% true. In doubt it's a single firewall rule.

user15026

Is there any way the prof would understand?

Probably

Hopefully

user15026

4:13 PM

crosses the appropriate appendages for you

@MartinSojka That's not disabling the check, that's preventing the check from being successful. Having to do that is just as bad as the rest of the problem.

@AshleyNunn How does this work if you, say, order a pizza by telephone?

user15026

@Sterno Usually they arrive with the little machines

@Sterno They bring a cell phone enabled debit / credit machine.

@OrigamiRobot I don't know. I consider making sure any software I install has just the rights I want it to have to be simply a part of the installation process.

user15026

4:14 PM

@JasonBerkan Thank you for articulating that better than me :P

@JasonBerkan Which means I don't have to read my number out to them over the phone? Bonus.

user15026

I was like "uh....tiny machine! card goes in!"

@Sterno And you have to enter your PIN, for extra security.

@AshleyNunn You're welcome.

Does ordering stuff online change?

Or since you may not have context for that, do you enter your pin when ordering from, say, amazon?

user15026

@Sterno I never noticed a change, though if you don't have the whole "verified by visa" shit, you might see that on some sites.

4:15 PM

@MartinSojka Also, this software needs internet access for normal functionality.

user15026

@Sterno Nope, that doesn't happen

@Sterno No. Online uses the magic three numbers on the back of the card.

Okay

Cool

user15026

They just want name, card number, expiry, magic numbers

@OrigamiRobot That's usually separate from the update process though, and you can filter it accordingly. In fact, I refuse to use any software where you can't.

4:17 PM

It's way easier to complain than it is to check every single piece of software that I want to use for this.

2

So I will continue to do that.

I like Steam because it updates all my games while I'm at work.

Other people hate Steam because it updates all their games while they're at work.

@Sterno How can someone hate this?

@OrigamiRobot You've never seen the people who get all outraged when Steam updates to the latest patch of some game, which happens to break something, or remove their favorite unbalanced ability, or whatever?

Everything software related should update itself while I'm not at the computer.

user15026

@JasonBerkan It should know when I am not there, and then do all the things.

4:20 PM

I prefer to decide to which version to update or downgrade my software by myself, thanks a lot. I'm also quite capable to schedule those updates for when it'll be convenient for me using built-in OS tools.

Kitty goes, "Roar!"

user15026

@Yuki OMG I need kittens so much today so this is helpful.

@AshleyNunn I know you don't like dogs, but are cute puppies okay?

user15026

@Yuki Yes please much cute please

user15026

4:21 PM

Also I am singing Let It Go because I want to learn that song so much :)

user15026

@Yuki mailbox dog! Yes!

@Sterno I see people get mad at the patch, but not at Steam for downloading it.

@AshleyNunn I think I'm going to go out and get the soundtrack.

Including all the instrumental music 'cause that stuff was good.

@OrigamiRobot Not everyone has an "unlimited" connection though.

The only person I know that hates Steam is @GnomeSlice and that's because he doesn't have a real internet connection.

user15026

4:23 PM

@Yuki Good plan

@MartinSojka And there's nothing wrong with that. Personally, there came a point in my life when I no longer had the time to mess around with computers. I just want everything to work without me having to spend any effort on it.

@Yuki She doesn't like dogs?

How can someone not like dogs?

Waking up at 5 PM is the best.

@OrigamiRobot Apparently, she's had bad experiences with them jumping on her and whatnot.

4:25 PM

@OrigamiRobot No idea. But you all talking about dogs made me hungry, so see you later.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot They scare me is why

user15026

@Yuki Aww tiny kitten so tiny aaaaa

user15026

@Yuki Ffff kitten stretches are best thing

4:26 PM

As cute as this is, I do not support putting shoes on your dog.

@AshleyNunn But they will lick your face to say "I love you"

And you can wrestle with them.

user15026

They will also jump on me and try to bite me and aaaaaaa

@AshleyNunn Most animals do that!

nom nom nom

user15026

Yeah, idk, just scared.

4:28 PM

Big dogs need more training because they don't know how ridiculously strong they are.

user15026

All of these are making me feel better. They don't undo the things I gotta do today, but they make me feel better.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot See, most people I know do not train their dogs

Moar kittehs!

@AshleyNunn Cheer up, we'll be singing in the afternoon!

@AshleyNunn Not all dogs are aggressive. My parents dog wouldn't bite ever

user15026

@Yuki Yes!

4:29 PM

I AM A GREAT DANE I CAN RUN AS FAST AS I CAN AND JUMP IN YOUR LAP RIGHT? I LOVE YOU!

AAAAgh kittehs!

user15026

@Arperum I know that, logically, but that doesn't change the experiences I have had.

Apparently, micro-hippos are a thing.

@OrigamiRobot I remember when I was about the same height as one of those beasts, and I had to stop one from getting into the house. It was hard

I think it ended with me being dragged along.

@Wipqozn Yep.

@Yuki Poops are the worst.

@OrigamiRobot It's fun. Was just playing it on my break.

The Prez is in town today, so of course that means higher security (and road closures as the motorcade goes through) and all that fun stuff.

Since they don't announce in advance which route they'll take...

user15026

The shortest route would be to take I-96, but shutting down the interstate would be a pain.
