@fredley I get the feeling that you should first check that all of your apps will run on ART

@badp Well I'll find out shortly

I can always switch back

StrixVaria

Proof that @GnomeSlice adds literally everything to his wishlist.

badp

@StrixVaria actually I wonder if this couldn't have some educational value

I have extremely little clue of what's going on under the hood of a car.

Well, okay: opening the car hood by looking at it and pressing E is already a disappointment. Clearly in real life you must hunt for the hidden lever around the cockpit.

From the demo it looks more like "screwing simulator 2014"

5pike

I doubt you'll learn much from this game.

badp

Yeah. The gameplay video screws and unscrews things in a counterclockwise manner. Even I know you need to do pairwise opposites.

Kevin van der Velden

Ooh fancy, I have to mail a letter tomorrow, as in, actual paper in a mailbox and everything :o

5pike

10:24

@KevinvanderVelden Fancy.

I've sent so few letters in my life, I have to look up where the correct position of address and stamp goes...

Kevin van der Velden

I can't remember the last time I sent an actual letter, not counting postcards on holidays ofcourse

(Those are easy, they have the lines for what goes where and everything!)

5pike

@KevinvanderVelden I also can't remember, but I do remember the last postcard I sent. It was a freaking pain to get some post cards in South-Korea. We also had to go to the head-post office to get some stamps.

fredley

10:38

@KevinvanderVelden Aren't you buying a house? That involves letters

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley first letter I've send in the buying a house process

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden Wow

Kevin van der Velden

Lots of email though, but the town-hall equivelent won't do that

StrixVaria

I mailed 2-3 things total to buy this house.

There was a ridiculous number of phone calls, though.

fredley

@StrixVaria Yeah

Kevin van der Velden

10:40

All the phone calls

Arperum

Phone calls: check, letters received: check, nearly whole books even, emails all over the place: check, letters send: nope. Not a single one.

And on monday everything is finished in my case of housebuying.

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum that sounds like you have some disease

But you're in america cause it drives you into deep depth

badp

@5pike Usually there's a rectangle on the envelope for that yes?

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden Lol, I'll own something a bit more then 1/4 myself already though, so that's something. So only a small 3/4 quarters of the house are loaded with depth.

5pike

@badp Not on all envelopes. I think it doesn't really matter where you stick it, but I look it up just to be safe.

Q: Can I remove some of the guard dialogue?

For me and many others Skyrim is about immersion, and one of the things breaking that immersion are the idle chat from guards and other passing by NPCs. What I'm talking about are comments such as Psst. Hey, I know who you are. Hail Sithis! How did they know I was a part of this secret ...

Q: Why are the A, B, X, Y buttons on many controllers swapped?

X Y A B This is the normal layout (Nintendo invented it). For some reason, on many controllers (Logitech, XBOX...) the letters are swapped around. Y X B A Why is this? Is it to avoid being sued, or is it something else?

even with all light armor I've failed miserably at sneaking around in a mission that was made to be sneaked around

@MartinSojka hmm openMW? I don't know it tbh. I don't mod a lot of stuff...^^

Martin Sojka

It's not a mod, it's an open-source reimplementation of the game engine.

It runs way faster than the original, supports modern OSes and higher resolutions natively and so on.

You still need the original data files, obviously.

I hear people talking about 'quickscope' pretty much every time any First Persion Shooter is discussed. My understanding from context is that it is looking down the barrel of a sniper rifle quickly in order to get a damage bonus for 'scoping', then immediately going back out of the scope mode. ...

Martin Sojka

@KevinvanderVelden The word you look for is "Plutonian", not "plutonian". In English, capitalisation matters. See also: "polish" vs. "Polish".

badp

@MartinSojka spoken like a true german :P

fredley

@MartinSojka Merriam Webster doesn't capitalise

Martin Sojka

14:12

@fredley Fuck Merriam-Webster then.

badp

do german dictionaries capitalize nouns?

fredley

martian would be lowercase too?

Powerlord

@MartinSojka Well, in this case, polish and Polish are two different words.

Martin Sojka

Since all German nouns are capitalised ...

Powerlord

One being something you do to brass things and the other a person from Poland.

Martin Sojka

14:13

@Powerlord And in the same case, "Plutonian" is a word while "plutonian" isn't.

badp

yet we just learned English dictionaries don't capitalize "Polish"

Powerlord

@badp Then they should clearly be stabbed.

Grace Note

I'm down for stabbing dictionaries.

Powerlord

Of course, remember that you need a magical object or a basilisk fang in order to kill a book.

fredley

@MartinSojka Your language is so logica- OH WAIT GENDER

14:14

As the king of dictionary I will not allow the stabbing of my underlings. If anything, you should carve them out and repurpose them as booze receptacles.

Martin Sojka

@fredley I didn't claim that any of it made sense. ;)

badp

@fredley Not very. Just provide additional space for the flasks.

Kevin van der Velden

@badp uuh, carving requires stabbing

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden Not if you whittle

badp

14:15

@KevinvanderVelden No. Carving is done from the inside. Stabbing from the outside.

fredley

That's more slicing

Kevin van der Velden

@badp how do you get inside though?

badp

@KevinvanderVelden Open it?

Martin Sojka

As for killing books, you need serious magic for that. Sure, you can burn them down and whatnot, but that only kills those specific copies. The books themselves ... the words arranged as they are, they survive just fine.

Powerlord

Rules of English:
1. It uses Subject-Verb-Object... except when it doesn't.
2. I before E except after C... except when it isn't.
3. English borrows/steals from every other language, so you need to learn every other language to get it correct.

(or just learn English's idiosyncrasies)

Kevin van der Velden

14:17

Your rule number 3 needs an "except when it steals and then changes it"

Powerlord

GAH, I haven't even been at work for an hour and twenty minutes? Today is just crawling by.

If you think that's bad, think of all the poor football fans who need to wait for another 100 minutes for the Germany-USA game to start.

@badp there is stabbing involved inbetween 2 and 3

For certain definitions of stabbing

badp

14:22

That's not stabbing. It's carving.

Martin Sojka

@KevinvanderVelden I'll think of them when I'll enjoy the near-empty streets and stress-free shopping while they do.

badp

So, at any rate, not stabbing.

Powerlord

@BenBrocka and for somebody who hasn't kept track on current events, it's easy to justify not bothering and denying anything after the first generation.

> Ho-Oh (Japanese: ホウオウ Houou) is a dual-type Fire/Flying Legendary Pokémon.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
It is often considered to be closely related to Lugia as a duo, even sometimes as its polar opposite. Silver represents Lugia as "guardian of the seas", and Gold represents Ho-Oh as "guardian of the skies."

Arguing for earlier gen cutoffs for reasons of "Because back in my day!" is kinda folly for this reason, as compared to earlier cutoffs because of physical discomfort at the thought of the later gens (as was largely a case with Gen 3 going into the worst gen)

@GraceNote That may be true in autocratic city states that do not recognize the right to be wrong on the internet as a fundamental human right

Grace Note

People can be folly.

Naught wrong with being folly.

Other than, of course, being wrong, but we're entitled to be wrong.

@GraceNote apparently diamond and pearl sold more than ruby and sapp so it's not like everyone ran away forever

I was kinda meh on 5. Added some extremely important little improvements (AUTO REPEL DEAR LORD). But those "animated" sprites were awful

Grace Note

5 gave us what 4 denied us - bugs.

@Jutschge There was a time that downvotes didn't require 125 reputation.

5 also gave us Lilligant which is everything right in the world.

Ben Brocka

Well gen 6 had...were there ANY bugs beyond 3 stage butterfly evolution pokemon?

@KevinvanderVelden Tokepi!

The Warehouse in ToG is the worst.

Grace Note

@BenBrocka Nope, Vivillion was the only one.

And yet another Bug/Flying, but Vivilion is actually really cool.

Grace Note

You can put egg moves, it gets an interesting kit, and it gets its own unique move.

I'm afraid this might be enabled on the SE blogs

Grace Note

Or TimThumb. Yeah, no, I don't enable anything of that sort.
