Rockman :P I prefer megaman

Did anyone play megaman cybeast gregar/falzar? I like those versions of megaman (with the fighting on a grid) more than the platformer ones

Ben Brocka

@GnomeSlice yes, and a side game, both are now extremely rare

GnomeSlice

That's the one with the girl and the minions right?

Tron Bonne or whatever?

@BenBrocka ANOTHER FORTUNE LOST TO CHILDHOOD IRRESPONSIBILITY

GnomeSlice

So Spiderling announced a new game.

That makes 3 unfinished to one finished...

StrixVaria

@MBraedley This is so much better than that last one like this that was linked.

What have you done...

GnomeSlice

2:15 PM

y u no complete

Origami Robot

I'M ON LEVEL 17

@GnomeSlice WHICH ONE IS THIS?

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot 3

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice Because you just arbitrarily placed points nowhere.

Origami Robot

@GnomeSlice hOW DID YOU GET B AND C?

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot I used the midpoint thing and clicked the ends of the first two lines

which made a midpoint (D)

This game sucks

Origami Robot

2:19 PM

@GnomeSlice YOU DON'T SELECT LINES WITH MIDPOINT

YOU SELECT POINTS

GnomeSlice

wait I think I got it

Origami Robot

IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN ESTABLISHED POINT, IT JUST USES WHEREVER YOU CLICK

GnomeSlice

oh I have to use the overlap thing

I dunno it says D is well done

still nothing

this game sucks

StrixVaria

Wait a second... Do I only unlock the tool for a thing if I do it in the minimum number of steps?

Or is there no tool for perpendicular line?

GnomeSlice

so they actually meant 'ray' not 'line segment'

Seriously, though, is there a perpendicular line tool? I don't want to go on if I have missed unlocking a tool.

fredley

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria Yes.

You get it at like level 6

K so I'm freaking out about this stupid group interview later

Maybe I'll just stay home

fredley

@GnomeSlice Just speak louder than everybody else

GnomeSlice

@fredley Seriously?

Jason Berkan

@GnomeSlice That's not the way to get a job.

Origami Robot

2:31 PM

@StrixVaria YOU GET IT ON LEVEL 5

fredley

@GnomeSlice No. But chat to the other people in the interview and be friendly.

Kevin van der Velden

@GnomeSlice Interrupt everyone, shout at the top of your voice... wait no, don't do that

Q: How far away do you have to be for mobs to spawn

So I have a world in minecraft PE that only has a tiny island I live in so I want to know how far away do you have to be for mobs to spawn and what light level does it have to be also Thanks

minecraft

GnomeSlice

I had to use a ray, not a line segment (even though it said line segment)

Origami Robot

@GnomeSlice RIGHT, I'M SAYING YOU CAN USE A LINE SEGMENT

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot I tried it with one and it didn't work

Origami Robot

IN THE SCREENSHOT YOU POSTED, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY LINE YET

I JUST REDID IT WITH A SEGMENT

GnomeSlice

2:36 PM

@OrigamiRobot I put a line segment in it after posting it.

And it didn't work.

I did it with a ray and it worked

Origami Robot

LINE SEGMENT WORKED FOR ME

GnomeSlice

Okay, I guess I'm wrong.

Origami Robot

TRY IT AGAIN, MAYBE IT WAS A BUG

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot Seems so, worked that time with a segment.

Fancy Skulls Steam keys are available on IGS for those who bought it during the feature.

Origami Robot

I CAN'T DO 5 AND 6 IN THE MIN REQUIRED

GnomeSlice

I did 6 in the minimum

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan @JasonBerkan speaks the truth, @GnomeSlice.

GnomeSlice

Wipqozn

Honestly I think the best thing you can do is to lecture them on how a group interview is stupi and tell them you hope horrible things happen to them and their families.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn That'll land me the job for sure

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice It will.

Also, everyone is probably just as stressed out as you.

Origami Robot

2:42 PM

@GnomeSlice OH, DUH

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot I don't have 5 either though

Jason Berkan

@GnomeSlice - Go. Be friendly and personable. If it does not go well, you will have at least learned something for the next one, and conquering fears is accomplished one step at a time.

GnomeSlice

@JasonBerkan I guess

It's at 2 so I'm just gonna play games until then

Origami Robot

AH, GOT IT

GnomeSlice

Although they said I need to talk about something I'm passionate about

Kevin van der Velden

2:44 PM

I'd suggest not games

Possibly music?

fredley

@GnomeSlice what is the jawb?

GnomeSlice

@fredley Old Navy

@KevinvanderVelden Sportsball.

fredley

@GnomeSlice Is that the military?

GnomeSlice

They were like yeah sports on the phone

@fredley No. It's a clothing store.

fredley

@GnomeSlice Oh

Jason Berkan

2:45 PM

My job can involve multiple interviews every few months. They do get easier after you've done a bunch of them.

fredley

Talk about how much you love clothes

GnomeSlice

oldnavy.ca

agent86

@fredley old navy is the gap, but cheaper.

Kevin van der Velden

@GnomeSlice is that a specific sport or?

fredley

@agent86 ~~the~~

GnomeSlice

2:45 PM

@KevinvanderVelden No. I used to play Ultimate, I guess I'll talk about that

ugh

I hate talking about things unless I'm on the internet

fredley

Your pronouns offend my European-centric view of the world

agent86

@fredley don't you tell me where I need the's and where I don't. I WAS IN THE (OLD) NAVY, SON!

> The Gap, Inc., commonly known as Gap Inc. or Gap, is an American multinational clothing and accessories retailer.

fredley

@agent86 Gap

It's known as Gap

agent86

@fredley I was right, though. not even technically right, like right right.

so the deal with the it.

fredley

♫ IN THE (old) NAAVVYYYYYY ♫

Wipqozn

2:47 PM

@GnomeSlice Wouldn't it make more sense to talk about something you're actually passionate about?

GnomeSlice

I don't want to talk about anything at all

fredley

@Wipqozn No, because for the next few hours @GnomeSlice is passionate about reasonably priced clothes

Wipqozn

This speech is probably just to see how well you are speaking to strangers and in front of groups.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn UGH it's not a public speaker job

fredley

@GnomeSlice I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT ABSOLUTE SILENCE

GnomeSlice

2:48 PM

@fredley Yes

Jason Berkan

I'm with @Wipqozn. I'd pick something you actually are passionate about and not something you think they want you to be passionate about.

fredley

@GnomeSlice *STARES INTENTLY*

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice You'll be dealing with customers though. retail jobs like people that are personable.

GnomeSlice

The only fashion publication I've ever read is playboy and I probably don't want to talk about that at the interview

2

...Right?

fredley

@GnomeSlice "My main fashion interests are in womens' undergarments"

agent86

2:49 PM

If you need to be reassured that you shouldn't talk about porn during an interview... good luck, kid.

badp

Wait you read Playboy?

GnomeSlice

@badp I like the articles

huehuehue

badp

Like, Playboy is something that can be read?

GnomeSlice

It was mostly just a joke for joke's sake

@badp Yeah, they have words in there

fredley

@badp It comes in a braille edition

agent86

2:50 PM

sounds like overseeing a women's dressing room is just going to be right up your alley. I can't see any reason why that would go wrong.

"I um... I like video games with boob physics and also playboy. can I sell clothes now?"

fredley

> "Hi I'm @GnomeSlice and I'll be your bra fitter for the day"

@agent86 Aw

I remember getting my first retail job

GnomeSlice

You guys are mean

Origami Robot

@GnomeSlice YOU HAVE TO GIVE SOME KIND OF SPEECH?

fredley

It was selling pots and pans though, not clothes

Kevin van der Velden

This is news?

Wipqozn

2:51 PM

@GnomeSlice Also I'd suggest introducing yourself to the person running the interview when you go, instead of waiting for them to ask for names.

Kevin van der Velden

And you know we mean well :)

fredley

Although I had little interest in pots and pans then

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot That's what it sounds like

Origami Robot

WHAT DID THEY SAY?

fredley

@GnomeSlice Nah, it's just a chat to make sure you can interface with humans using an appropriate protocol

Just stick to protocol and you'll be fine

RPi Awesomeness

2:52 PM

Hey! agent86 permanent ban was only partitially permanent!

agent86

DO YOU DESIRE CLOTHING HUMAN? HOW MAY I SELL YOU GARMENTS TODAY?

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot "Be prepared to talk about something you're passionate about"

@fredley How do I do that

fredley

@GnomeSlice Let's practice

RPi Awesomeness

The Forest man...it's really funny watching people play that :D

GnomeSlice

Also am I supposed to wear shit that they might sell, like casual stuff, or should I wear like a work shirt and dresspants

fredley

2:53 PM

@GnomeSlice "Hi, how are you?"

GnomeSlice

@fredley okay

agent86

@GnomeSlice if you want me to take you seriously, you can't tell me you're not sure if you should talk about your porn habits.

fredley

@GnomeSlice Dress smart

Arperum

"just copy the code from that other system" tons of errors all over the place to duplicate some functionality

GnomeSlice

@fredley I don't know what that means

agent86

2:54 PM

if you want me to be sarcastic, though, then by all means.

Arperum

I'm going to have nightmares of terrible code tonight.

fredley

@GnomeSlice INCORRECT - RESPONSE EXPECTED: "OKAY, HOW ARE YOU?". REDO FROM START

Origami Robot

@GnomeSlice SHIRT AND TIE

GnomeSlice

Why can't you get a job at a place where you're like the only person

@OrigamiRobot Fack, I didn't bring a tie with me to the new place

fredley

2:54 PM

@GnomeSlice The cheating way to do this is to just ask them loads of questions

agent86

I ran interviews and was part of the hiring process for years at a previous job, so I probably have practical knowledge that could be of use.

3ventic

You can start a business of your own, can't you?

fredley

Then they are the ones under pressure

Kevin van der Velden

@GnomeSlice it's a clothing store, I don't think a tie is required

GnomeSlice

I mean I have like a nice striped longsleeve shirt

and some grey things for legs

Origami Robot

2:55 PM

@GnomeSlice YOU CAN SKIP THE TIE, BUT STILL WEAR A BUTTON DOWN

GnomeSlice

pants

Jason Berkan

@KevinvanderVelden For a salesperson job, the better you look, the better the first impression.

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot what the hell is a button down

Origami Robot

@GnomeSlice A SHIRT WITH BUTTONS ALL THE WAY DOWN

GnomeSlice

Oh, okay

Frank

2:56 PM

I'm having trouble noting everything I do at my job, and I've only been here three months.

fredley

I've interviewed hundreds of people, though mostly by phone

GnomeSlice

I have one of those but it's a wrinkled piece of shit because I just bunched it up when I put it away

Kevin van der Velden

@JasonBerkan it's a salesperson job for a clothing store that's cheaper than the gap, true enough, looking better = better first impression. But I don't think a 3 piece suit is a good thing

Frank

I believe there's something wrong with this picture.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn Not with me

agent86

dress like the people who work there, or one step nicer. if they wear t-shirts and jeans, wear a nice, clean t-shirt and jeans, or perhaps a polo shirt.

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden No. Dress smartly, but not ridiculous

badp

Use the piece of iron to beat the shirt into submission

3

fredley

@agent86 One step nicer

GnomeSlice

2:57 PM

Should I go over there and see what they're wearing?

And then come back and change

Wipqozn

@agent86 One step nicer than you would nice is the best advice.

@GnomeSlice That's a good idea.

You have a few hours, and it's just across the street, right?

GnomeSlice

@agent86 Isn't polo that game you play in the pool

@Wipqozn yeah

fredley

@GnomeSlice No that's water polo

agent86

if they are asking you to talk about something you're passionate about, they want to see you talk about something you're interested in. the brand constantly positions itself as having indie cred. talk about something you like that is indie.

fredley

Polo is like water polo, but without water, and with horses and money

agent86

2:58 PM

@GnomeSlice sigh a polo shirt has three buttons and a collar.

Wipqozn

@agent86 So any of the video games @GnomeSlice plays.

agent86

if you don't know what that is, you're going to have a tough time at a clothing store.

Frank

@fredley So...totally not water polo at all.

fredley

@GnomeSlice Talk about designing stuff

Origami Robot

@agent86 SOMETIMES IT ONLY HAS TWO! SOMETIMES NONE!

fredley

2:58 PM

Design is like fashion, right?

GnomeSlice

blargh

fredley

@Frank Nope, not really

GnomeSlice

Should I just go buy a shirt

fredley

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice That's also a good iea, since you can use it for future interviews. Provided you don't spend a bunch of money on one.

fredley

2:59 PM

Damn you copy paste

agent86

this is a retail, probably slightly above minimum wage job. mostly they are looking for people who look "right" for the store's image, and if you can breathe. they'll do the rest.

GnomeSlice

I mean I have shirts at home

@agent86 So... what, do I need normal interview clothes?

Frank

@fredley That's just polo.

There's no water there!

fredley

@Frank Yes

There we go

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice There's no such thing, honestly. It depends where you're applying. for the kind jobs you're applying for, I'd say exactly what @OrigamiRobot suggested. A nice shirt and pants, maybe a tie.

agent86

3:00 PM

looking "right" in this context means you fit with their brand image. old navy is trying to appeal to "young" "hip" people. For instance, going in with goth makeup on is probably not going to help. or being really old.

GnomeSlice

So what, I should wear a flatbrim hat and a hoodie?

fredley

Protip: You can always quickly slip off a tie if you feel too smart, but it's much harder to put one on

GnomeSlice

Because I have those things

Frank

@fredley THIS is water polo.

fredley

No hats

Frank

3:01 PM

I am now satisfied.

agent86

dress like they dress or one step nicer.

Origami Robot

NO HAT, NO HOODIE

Powerlord

So, apparently TF2's team_round_timer's m_nState variable tells me whether we're in Setup or not. \o/

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice: Just go to the store and see what they're wearing already.

agent86

do they wear hoodies and hats there? not that I've seen. so no.

Jason Berkan

3:01 PM

No hats.

GnomeSlice

I don't want to do any of this

fredley

I think, maybe, you shouldn't wear a hat

GnomeSlice

I just want to hide in my room

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Welcome to the real world, mister Slice.

agent86

interviews are stressful. practice helps. they know you will be stressed.

go to gain practice as much as to gain a job.

fredley

3:02 PM

►

Wipqozn

Now go over to the old navy and see what they are wearing. The only way for this to get better is to do just DO IT. The stress won't magically go away, and us telling you what to do is only going to help so much. You can really only learn interviews by doing, @GnomeSlice.

Origami Robot

@agent86 YEA, RECOGNIZING THAT THEY WILL KNOW YOU ARE STRESSED IS ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO DESTRESS

agent86

everyone interviewing you once sat in your chair at their first interview, they know what it's like. relax.

Kevin van der Velden

Cause... then you might wanna go to the bathroom

@GnomeSlice probably mostly true

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden I'm not sure

it was quite a big bag

@GnomeSlice Don't go in your clown outfit

@OrigamiRobot I was excited. Now I'm disappointed.

GnomeSlice

is it okay to wear a shirt I bought at Old Navy to an Old Navy interview

fredley

@GnomeSlice Probably not a bad idea

GnomeSlice

Oh really?

Jason Berkan

@GnomeSlice Good idea. Make sure the tags are off of it though. :P

GnomeSlice

4:13 PM

What if I bought the shirt like 2 hours before my interview

fredley

@JasonBerkan Don't try and return it afterwards

@GnomeSlice From the people who'll interview you?

GnomeSlice

@fredley Probably not.

Jason Berkan

@fredley Heh.

GnomeSlice

I didn't want to look like I was just checking out the staff so I bought something

I'll probably look like a dbag in it

fredley

@GnomeSlice You checked out the shirts instead of the staff?

Battleborn, the new IP from Gearbox, has just been announced.

GnomeSlice

@FAE This looks dope

Not a fan of the facial animation though

FAE

@GnomeSlice I want to hear/see more about the actual gameplay.

Ah, here we go. GameInformer article on Battleborn

So it's sort of MOBA-like, apparently. I was wondering that, given all the creep-looking things in the trailer.

MBraedley

@FAE But co-op MOBA, from the sounds of the YouTube description. I'm thinking gameplay might be along the lines of Alien Swarm.

Also, can't read the GameInformer article at work, so I could be completely wrong.

FAE

4:24 PM

@MBraedley It does have a standard 5v5 map. GI says Gearbox hasn't talked much about the co-op campaign. It'd be cool if it were like Alien Swarm, I liked that game.

@MBraedley And standard MOBA's have an element of co-op anyway, as you've got your own team. The leveling will be the same as a regular MOBA, 1-20 each match.

MBraedley

@FAE But that's like saying team deathmatch games are co-op. When I hear co-op, I think PvE with friends.

FAE

@MBraedley yeah, I see what you mean

Game Informer's apparently going to have month long coverage on the website

RPi Awesomeness

@GnomeSlice These simulators are totally getting out of hand...

StrixVaria

Oh that wasn't too bad.

4:46 PM

@GnomeSlice Wow, this is a simulator I could actually use my own expertise on to judge how realistic it is.

GnomeSlice

@FAE Have you done that job? Also it's free.

I played it a while ago. It's oddly relaxing, but you can't win.

Jason Berkan

@GnomeSlice So you are unable to actually pick up a golf ball in the game?

GnomeSlice

@JasonBerkan You can, but as more and more customers arrive you can't pick up enough fast enough.

You inevitably get fired.

FAE

@GnomeSlice Yes, my parents used to own a small driving range. I worked there and did stuff like driving a tractor with a golf ball picker upper thing on it like that, washed golf balls, sorted them by hand to weed out the bad ones, mowed it with the tractor+a gang mower or with the Kubota lawn mower we had, etc.

GnomeSlice

Gang Mower?

Also, huh, neat.

@GnomeSlice Really wish I would've had an MP3 player back then.

GnomeSlice

@FAE Heh

@GnomeSlice It's like those old timey lawn mowers but on a larger scale.

@GnomeSlice I had a CD player still, so I had to deal with hanging onto that sucker while doing all of that.

It wasn't a fancy range or anything like that, I grew up in the middle of nowhere, but it was one of the few places for people in our area to go and hit a bucket of golf balls.
