what eye surgery is like

GnomeSlice

@agent86 that should have a warning

agent86

WARNING: THIS LINK REGARDS EYE SURGERY.

FAE

Evening all.

GnomeSlice

@agent86 This must be the ipad version

Huh.

FAE

@agent86 How are you feeling?

GnomeSlice

9:06 PM

Today's Listening

agent86

@FAE mostly fine. I had some bruising on my right eye, and that hurt for 5 days or so. I'm 20/20 though, so that's good. I am getting the night halos and some occasional blurriness. for the blur I'm on OTC eye drops.

GnomeSlice

@agent86 Wait, did you actually have eye surgery?

Yikes

agent86

@GnomeSlice yes. I got lasik about a week ago.

GnomeSlice

eurgh

eyes man

I don't want to hear itI don't want to hear itI don't want to hear itI don't want to hear itI don't want to hear it

Hope you feel better though

FAE

@agent86 Cool, glad you're at 20/20. :) Wait til Christmas hits and you see all the Christmas lights with halos. It's super festive. :P

agent86

9:08 PM

@FAE lulz

I'm trying to buy sunglasses now, and man is that a pain. it's either $10 craptacular or $150 paying-for-a-name-brand :/

I also have a wide head and most everything doesn't fit right. I'm used to getting custom glasses/frames and having insurance foot the bill

GnomeSlice

flegs

FAE

@agent86 Yeah, I had to do that too before I went back to prescription glasses.

Fluttershy

@agent86 It's been 4 years since my Lasik, and I still deal with decreased night vision. :(

FAE

@agent86 It was so exciting though! I was like, "I can wear sunglasses for the first time in my life!"

GnomeSlice

@FAE you can get prescription sunglasses

agent86

9:13 PM

@FAE yeah, I was pumped! went to an outlet mall and 3 stores later I was like "okay, eff this."

FAE

@GnomeSlice Not for the eyesight I used to have.

agent86

@Fluttershy :(

GnomeSlice

Oh.

FAE

@agent86 Yeah, it's really hard. :/ I'm really picky about frames and stuff (that, and I have a nickel allergy, bleh).

user15026

@FAE Really? That's surprising, because I can get sunglasses, but my eyes are bad enough I can't get Lasik.

FAE

9:14 PM

@AshleyNunn Yeah, I couldn't get any. I was stuck with stupid flip-ups.

Fluttershy

I got super lucky with my sunglasses. They were $180 Ray-bans, but the lady at the counter grabbed the wrong box, so I got them for $20. <_<

user15026

@FAE ewwww.

user15026

@Fluttershy niiiiice

agent86

@Fluttershy I am choking you via the internet now for your having better luck than me.

@FAE nickel allergy, bleh :(

FAE

@AshleyNunn This was also a long time ago, so it's also probably that tech is better now. I got lasik in 2004, so it was before that that I couldn't get prescription sunglasses.

Fluttershy

9:15 PM

@agent86 I also got a portable DVD player for free once because the lady ran it across the scanner, but it didn't scan, and she didn't notice. :P

user15026

@FAE Ah, yeah. I got mine a year agoishhhh

Fluttershy

I didn't notice until I was looking at my bank statement.

FAE

@AshleyNunn Hello h key, nice to see you too!

user15026

@FAE I should really pry it off and fix it

user15026

But I am scared to kill my keyboard that I love so much

FAE

9:16 PM

@AshleyNunn Effooooort

That too.

user15026

@FAE Precisely

user15026

Although having a name with an H in it and trying to do all these job apps and not mess them up is interesting :P

GnomeSlice

@FAE what about clip on?

My dad has those.

FAE

@AshleyNunn Haha, yeah, I imagine so. "So you're "Ashhhhhley Nunn, is that correct?" "........"

GnomeSlice

they have magnets

user15026

9:17 PM

@FAE Hahaha yeah, thats what I am scared of!

FAE

@GnomeSlice I couldn't have metal frames because my lenses were too thick.

GnomeSlice

@FAE the frames are special, they don't have to be metal but they have little magnets for the clipons

I think, anyway

Ugh I am having a bad day

all I want to do is sit on the couch and watch arrow

RedRiderX

Aww

GnomeSlice

but I only have one left

FAE

@GnomeSlice I know which ones you mean, but back then I was stuck with Coke-bottom glasses with big plastic frames. Either way, moot now, because I do have prescription sunglasses, so. :)

RedRiderX

9:18 PM

@GnomeSlice Wow really?

GnomeSlice

@RedRiderX I only have about 13 episodes of season 2, just the ones my dad had downloaded

agent86

@Fluttershy [choking intensifies]

Fluttershy

RedRiderX

@GnomeSlice have you tried fitover sunglasses?

GnomeSlice

@RedRiderX I've been like binge watching

Fluttershy

9:19 PM

The Times got their reviews mixed up, methinks.

GnomeSlice

@RedRiderX My mom has those

I hardly wear my glasses

RedRiderX

Well exactly

They work if you don't wear your glasses too

GnomeSlice

@Fluttershy eh, video games

FAE

@agent86 Noooo, I need him for boyfriend purposes.

GnomeSlice

@FAE You and @Fluttershy are... that? I didn't know that.

Wow I'm dumb

FAE

9:22 PM

@GnomeSlice We went over this on Mumble when we were playing Risk of Rain. >_>

Fluttershy

@GnomeSlice You definitely knew that. <_<

GnomeSlice

@FAE I wasn't really clear on what you were talking about and I felt awkward asking

Who is that other guy you always talk about then?

You know what, nevermind.

FAE

@GnomeSlice My other boyfriend.

GnomeSlice

@FAE Oh.

Q: How do you interact with the armory?

So there's armory locations near some of the bases. You can bring enemy cargo trucks to them to unlock new gear, and you can also apparently use them as a shop to spend your RP on new gear for yourself. You can buy and sell weapons, items, wearables (type II vest) at an armory. It's basicall...

9:23 PM

ok

sorry

FAE

@GnomeSlice No worries!

agent86

@FAE well then you can choke for me.

FAE

@agent86 Shall do!

agent86

as long as there's choking going on, I'm good with that.

@GnomeSlice If I wasn't going to yell OBJECTION at my copy of Phoenix Wright, I'm probably not going to do so for this.

GnomeSlice

@LessPop_MoreFizz Hahaha, is that a thing in Phoenix Wright?

I would hate that too

LessPop_MoreFizz

9:33 PM

@GnomeSlice Yes, but there is also a button you can push.

GnomeSlice

Oh, good.

LessPop_MoreFizz

but for those so inclined, you can yell OBJECTION at your handheld gaming device.

GnomeSlice

Michael Frank

9:40 PM

quick question: Dark Souls II, Xbox360 or PS3? If there a performance difference between the versions?

GnomeSlice

@MichaelFrank I doubt it, but if it has online multiplayer you won't have to pay for it on Ps3

FAE

CC @AshleyNunn kittyyyy

user15026

hahahaha :)

Fluttershy

@MichaelFrank The 360 supposedly has some framerate issues.

FAE

@MichaelFrank Here, read this

hichris123

9:43 PM

Is all you guys do in here post huge pictures that take up your whole screen? ;) (no, don't take that as a complaint)

Michael Frank

@Fluttershy Yea? That's probably patchable though, right?

@FAE Thanks. :)

GnomeSlice

@hichris123 yes

FAE

@MichaelFrank No problem. Digital Foundry usually does pretty thorough comparisons for most multiplatform AAA releases, so it's a good place to check out.

Frank

@hichris123 I could post videos of my kitten doing crazy things.

It's really good at that.

user15026

@Frank oooh yes :D

hichris123

9:45 PM

@Frank Well, what crazy things?

GnomeSlice

I'm just sitting here doing nothing

Fuck it

I'm gonna go watch it

hichris123

Frank

And by helping, I mean her pouncing on everything that moves.

GnomeSlice

Back later

maybe

hichris123

9:47 PM

@Frank That's... interesting. :P

Michael Frank

@FAE looks like they're suggesting the 360 version is slightly ahead at this stage.

FAE

@MichaelFrank Yeah, depends on your priorities. For example, I personally haaaate screen tearing, so I'd probably lean more towards the PS3 then.

Michael Frank

@FAE I've never been bothered by it. Except for during top tier progression raiding in WoW.

RedRiderX

Hmm

You should check the RWR handbook: http://runningwithrifles.gamepedia.com/Manual

quality answer

FAE

@LessPop_MoreFizz SA's mostly fixed, just have to reload the CSS.

Michael Frank

@GnomeSlice Concise and to the point. :P

GnomeSlice

@MichaelFrank it's not concise at all

he just linked to a general reference guide

Michael Frank

True.

GnomeSlice

he didn't even link to the correct page, or copy the relevant content to the answer

Michael Frank

10:52 PM

Well, he linked to the correct page, just left the #Stash off the end of the URL.

There is information about the Stash on that page.

GnomeSlice

Michael Frank

I hate that squirrel.

GnomeSlice

@MichaelFrank it doesn't tell you how to interact with it.

But yes, there is some info there I guess

Michael Frank

Never played RWR, is there not a generic interact button? o.O

GnomeSlice

You don't interact with many things

Although... it may be space, I don't think I tried that

you use that to get into vehicles

Er... I love candies!

GnomeSlice

Pretty funny

hichris123

I know. You'd think there'd be a spam link or something... but no.

Michael Frank

@hichris123 maybe their script backfired?

GnomeSlice

10:57 PM

This is unfair, the next two episodes of arrow are going to take like hours to download

aaaaaaagh

Michael Frank

@GnomeSlice hours? o.O

GnomeSlice

My internet sucks

I'm torrenting them (shh) because my dad doesn't have the two most recent ones

I'm having a shit day and just want to watch arrow

But I just watched the last one we had

I'm only getting like 17 KB/s each

Michael Frank

Ahh, I know the feels. I'm on my first day back at work since my honeymoon. All I want to do is go home and watch TV. I've got two episodes of Suits waiting for me!

GnomeSlice

@MichaelFrank If it was the day after my honeymoon I would probably still want to go home and do something else that isn't watch TV

Also congratulations. =]

Michael Frank

@GnomeSlice Thanks, and you're right. The wife would probably not want me just lying around on the couch. "Build the Guinea Pig hutch like you said you would!"

GnomeSlice

11:01 PM

@MichaelFrank That's not what I meant, but hah

@LessPop_MoreFizz I like how you decided to stick to facts in your examples and therefore failed to make a sweeping generalization that was, in any way, shape or form, offensive :P

Michael Frank

@GnomeSlice Oh I got it. She'd be working though... so it'd be a little inappropriate. ;)

GnomeSlice

@hichris123 Because it's good.

I would've gone for something like "Europe is, in general, a mishmash of varyingly derelict economies and irrelevant independencies."

"Europeans, in general, think that you should give a fuck about their hyper-local geographies, cultures, languages and customs. Europeans in general, conversely, can barely place Texas on the map of the United States; they know next nothing about how people live in the US; they think that they can get away with a shoddy knowledge of English; finally, they consider what little stereotypes they know about 'Murika and immediately proceed to snob them."

Arperum

@Frank It's going down tonight/tomorrow. Be aware of that.

@Arperum Yep. I figure I'll cash out with this, spend the cash I've made on gold, and call it.

@Frank Just turning it all into gold? no throwing to a paypall or something?

@Arperum Nah. Too much effort. It's only a bit of cash. Something like ~$15. If I manage to make another $5, I'll upgrade to the digital deluxe version of the expansion.
