The Bridge

@RedRiderX Isn't the music great? :D

So great!

2:11 AM

I often put it on to clean the house.

Ullallulloo

DWARF FORTRESS 0.40.01 RELEASED

Because it's so cheery and upbeat and easy to move to.

There is a nice bit of variety too.

Ullallulloo

AFTER TWO YEARS

@Ullallulloo Yeah I thought that was crazy

2:11 AM

Lol yep

Of course it will be a few months before stonesense is updated and normal people can play it :P

►

@RedRiderX Yeah, the whole series has really great music. I still have yet to get the Vita one, but I've played all the other ones (except the PSP one because that doesn't have 2 joysticks and trying to play Katamari without dual joysticks is uuuuuuugh). The later games have throwbacks to the older games and remixes of the music.

This is an interesting video from Extra Credits

Some of the levels/challenges can get frustrating though.

@FAE Is it worth getting Katamari Forever?

No wait is that the second?

Oh no that's We Love Katamari

2:15 AM

@RedRiderX I would at the very least get the second one, yeah.

Ullallulloo

@RedRiderX pssh, casuals

Although DFHack or Dwarf Therapist is kind of necessary, at least for job assignment.

@RedRiderX Beautiful Katamari is 360 only and has DLC, which is unfortunately necessary for one of the size achievements, IIRC.

Katamari Forever on PS3 is basically one big tribute game to the first two games.

@FAE Wait there was a 360 one too!

Wow

Almost all the stages in that one were from the first two games.

@RedRiderX Yeah, it was originally going to be PS only but ended up on 360.

user15026

I liked Beautiful Katamari

2:19 AM

Er, no, Beautiful was going to be on both PS and 360 but the former was cancelled.

So ended up being just 360.

Isn't there just one or two different areas in the first Katamari?

All the stages are just different scales.

I never actually played Beautiful Katamari, but from everything I saw, it didn't look like much more than the first

@RedRiderX Yeah but it counts the different scales as separate stages, kinda.

also, the cheapest I ever saw it was $30, which was too much for a used game

user15026

@Ktash I liked it but then again I am just really weirdly obsessive over it

user15026

2:21 AM

aka I am crazy

@Ktash Heh I've seen the same for pretty much all Katamari games.

That's why I was so happy to get the first one for $5

I play all the Katamaris, even though they're essentially not too much different from each other at this point.

@RedRiderX Yeah, that is a better deal than I've seen for them. And I think I looked last year

I haven't played Touch my Katamari yet, I think maybe @BenBrocka has, but not sure.

@FAE Oh my

2:22 AM

@Ktash Katamari Damacy was only $30 on release even.

I got it brand new for $30 back when I bought it and that was within a couple weeks/months of release.

...god that was 10 years ago.

Yeah, I've seen Damacy a bit less. But it got popular and went up I think (at least around here)

@RedRiderX So yeah, I definitely recommend We <3 Katamari, whatever you do. I don't know what your other console options are. If you have a 360 or PS3, they're nice games to play with HD graphics because the artstyle is so fun and playful.

Beautiful, though, was $30 last year when I looked at it

@FAE I'll be sure to put it on my pull list for my next big game purchase

user15026

Oh my god why did I decide to embrace my feminine side (aka getting nail polish off is ANNOYING)

2:26 AM

@AshleyNunn I JUST DID THIS TONIGHT

@AshleyNunn I HAVE TIPS FOR YOU

user15026

OMG YES PLEAAAAASE

user15026

Bestow your wisdom upon meeeeee

@FAE I like it and want to play it again at some point. Should that be an investment I make?

@AshleyNunn Do you have cotton balls?

@Ktash Do you have a PS3?

Cotton balls are the best for this

user15026

2:27 AM

@FAE I have those little makeup pad things?

@FAE I do

As soon as redridet came on everybody came on lol

Cotton balls are going to be your friend

user15026

The sparkle shit is like NEVER COMING OFF WHAT UP

@AshleyNunn Can also work though cotton balls are a bit better for this method. Soak them well with some nail polish remover and then cover your nails with them and wrap some aluminum foil around the tips of your fingers.

2:28 AM

Wait there is a mobile version?!

Should I even bother?

Yes i am on mobile

@Ktash I would say just get Katamari Forever then.

@FAE Is that one on PS3?

Ah

Alright

user15026

@RedRiderX Not really, I didn't think ti was good

@Ktash Katamari Forever is one big tribute to the older games.

2:29 AM

U have ps3

@RedRiderX Not really

user15026

@FAE and then wait a bit?

Ah okay

@AshleyNunn Yeah, probably 5 to 10 minutes or so should be good enough. I wrapped my left hand up first, then put on some youtube videos to watch. I only did one hand at a time.

@AshleyNunn This is especially helpful to do with glitter polishes (like I was wearing and what you are currently wearing).

When you're done, unwrap the aluminum and just press down on your nail with the pad and swipe it clean. Most of it should come off.

Then just dab and swipe as needed for the rest.

user15026

Okay, this is a weird sensory experience

user15026

2:31 AM

not bad, like little finger hugs

Long post @FAE lol

@AshleyNunn Haha yeah. 5-10 is probably too long even, I just got distracted with teh videos. I don't know how many layers you have on. If it's thin, a minute is probably enough.

user15026

There's...three layers and a topcoat

user15026

I ahve a good show I am watching so I should be okay

Its amazing how far 1 post go's

2:34 AM

I'm kind of leaning towards being extremely lazy, ignoring the food in my apartment, and going to get food somewhere

user15026

@Ktash Cinnabon!

@AshleyNunn 3 layers of glitter plus topcoat, yeah, I'd say you need a bit to let it soak in then.

Cinnabon?

@AshleyNunn ... ~~don't~~ encourage me

@ktash lol

user15026

2:35 AM

@Ktash It would be yummy!

Also, at first I was going to say that isn't "dinner food," but we all know that would be a lie

user15026

Besides, you know I am a terrible influence

user15026

@Ktash I had carrot cake.'

@AshleyNunn If you still have any stuck around your cuticles, you can push them back with a cuticle stick/thingie (if you have one) and then just swipe the rest away.

@AshleyNunn You are :P

user15026

2:36 AM

@FAE Oooh that is brilliant

@AshleyNunn Not a big fan of carrot cake...

user15026

@Ktash More for me!

@Ktash lol youv got me rolling and me 2 i despise carrot cake

@AshleyNunn well, more cinnabon for me

user15026

@Ktash That you'd have to share if I was there!

2:37 AM

@AshleyNunn If you have any nail moisturizer/oil/whatevs, you'll probably want to use it when you're done. I don't know if the remover you're using has acetone or not in it, but it dries out your nails.

And soaking will do that more.

user15026

Nope, this one is acetone free apparently

user15026

(I didn't know this stuff was so complicated)

My mom has a cabnit in the bathroom devoted 2 make up

@AshleyNunn Acetone will remove it quicker, but acetone free is a bit better for your nails. I used acetone free too and it didn't take too long, but I had fewer layers than you do.

user15026

I mean I am slowly getting makeup (but my hand eye sucks, so that makes it hard. I need someone to do ti for me :P)

2:39 AM

@AshleyNunn ... maybe. You'd probably have to offer something pretty good in return. Not gonna lie, I really love Cinnabon

@AshleyNunn makeup crap always has a bajillion steps, google is my friiiiiiiend

user15026

@Ktash Isn't my wonderful company and cute face enough?

@AshleyNunn Under any other circumstances, far and above. But cinnabon... it's a toss up.

user15026

@FAE Yeah....my problem is I need to tkae my glasses off so I have a three inch range of vision then plus shaky hands

I really really love cinnabon

just the smell is like crack for me

user15026

2:39 AM

@Ktash ohg my gosh I dont even know what to think now

@AshleyNunn Yeah, I remember having to do that before lasik, it's such a pain. :(

There r guys in the room @ashley nunn and fae

user15026

@stizzle84 And?

user15026

@FAE I wish Lasik was an option for me

@AshleyNunn If I were you, I'd feel pretty awesome for being put in the same category as Cinnabon. I will kill someone for that.

user15026

2:40 AM

@Ktash Awww okay

@AshleyNunn Hopefully eye tech will continue to get better!

user15026

@FAE I hope so!

Theres time 4 make up la... umm @ktash

@stizzle84 There usually are? shrugs

Ok, seriously, now I just need cinnabon

user15026

2:41 AM

@stizzle84 shrugs If you don't like the conversation, you can always find sokmething else to do?

That's why we have the "Reply" feature; so one can have concurrent conversations.

user15026

@Ktash Do it do it do it do it yes

Replying with questions is fun?

:)

Welcome

But if I go to the mall, I don't know what other food I'm going to get so that when my mom calls I don't have to say "no I had cinnabon for dinner last night"

2:42 AM

@Ktash You could tell a fib

@AshleyNunn I would totally help with your makeup in the meantime!

With my limited knowledge and newb skills...

user15026

@FAE Why are you so far awaaaaay

@FAE I mean I could. But I don't want my nose to grow

@AshleyNunn Because oceans are dumb. :(

@Ktash But she can't see your nose.

user15026

@FAE Oceans are dumb

user15026

As are borders.

2:43 AM

What!!!

@AshleyNunn Muchly so.

Oceans although extreamly dangerous is safe and fun

@FAE I lost Jiminy though, so it gets stuck that way

user15026

Also those tips were magic, holy crap. Thanks. :D (Seriouly I pulled the first one off and was legit startled at the clean nail)

@stizzle84 I think she's talking about the fact that they keep people apart

2:44 AM

@Ktash Then obviously you need to find him first, duh!

@AshleyNunn Yay! :D

user15026

@stizzle84 I do not like them when they separate me from people I care for with a lot of caring

@FAE I knokw. Anyone seen a cricket or a psychologist with a dog named pongo around anywhere?

Ohhhh

@GnomeSlice Indeed.

I love u all!! Team bridge!!

2:46 AM

Also, since I know you all were dying to know, the free MIT courses are actually pretty decent. Video lectures are best, though

FYI

user15026

@Ktash free MIT courses?

@Ktash Which ones are you checking out?

@AshleyNunn ocw.mit.edu/index.htm

A lot of their courses online for free

Q: This game does not respond correctly

I can't upgrade my town hall till I upgrade my gold storage, yet I can't upgrade my gold storage till I upgrade my town hall! This game sucks!

technical-issues

@FAE Math and cryptography at the moment

Though I want to dive into a few others too eventually

2:48 AM

@Ktash How does one put stuff like that on a resume even?

Can it even be used as educational experience?

The online course you mean?

Yeah

No thx or we love u stizzle? Sighs lol

Meh, I don't. I'm learning it cause I'm gonna try and do a startup (I think)

But I imagine you could put it at the footnotes or something?

user15026

@FAE That depends on the employer and such

2:49 AM

I don't know. I haven't put courses on my resume in years now

I can't afford to go back to university yet but I miss being in school and there's so many online courses, free ones even, that I've pondered looking into stuff.

@FAE What content?

That's a weird way of phrasing that... What would you like to learn

I like math

I used to love math

Hahaha not any more

And science

2:51 AM

@Ktash Way too much, unfortunately. :(

Y

user15026

@FAE i know that feel

@GnomeSlice Usually that comes from the way upper level math content is taught, not the content. Actually, high level math is really fascinating if taught well

@Ktash I'm talking like high school math

@FAE For me, I wouldn't consider that unfortunate. I love to learn and would enjoy doing that (and am)

@GnomeSlice Yeah, starting at trig is usually where it goes poorly, but sometimes before that too

2:53 AM

I love learning... no im not being sarcastic wht r u talking about

user15026

@Ktash I am already contemplating more school

*Sweat drips

I will end up going back to school at some point because I took nothing away from my college degree.

I was there for all the wrong reasons.

@AshleyNunn What? Wow. I finished college something like seven years ago, and I'm still in, "Nope! Too much! Don't want to do more!" mode.

Hi frank

user15026

2:54 AM

@GnomeSlice this is me too

@GnomeSlice Pick a video on this channel, and you can often find some good stuff

user15026

@Frank i know the course i want to take, i just cant afford anything right now

@Ktash I love linguistics and foreign languages and I did really well in that in HS/college, I also have an interest in sociology, physics, astronomy, English and writing, UX, art and design, a plethora of IT topics...

@Ktash aaaaaa nope

I can't get over how good this shit is soundcloud.com/subsphererecords/sets/…

... like this one

2:55 AM

@Frank When I was kid, I wanted to go to university and like, never leave.

@FAE ...Why?

party time?

user15026

@FAE if i could do this i would

@GnomeSlice Because I love learning things.

Who believes in life in space i mean there has 2 be some

I hate learning

2:56 AM

@FAE It wasn't the learning part I disliked. It was the, "Get it done, and get it done right now. Oh, and we're going to continue to pile work on you, well in excess of what you can handle."

@FAE That's a good set of things. All I've got in there that I know much about is UX, design, and IT stuff. Oh, and some english. Some

@GnomeSlice I don't think you really mean you hate learning, just that you dislike the structure of the education you received.

@FAE I have an uncle that did this successfully

Learning is hard

user15026

@stizzle84 remember once, we talked about being a part of conversations rather than, well, this?

2:56 AM

@Ktash Did he become a professor?

@AshleyNunn Let him say what he wants

No i will be a part

user15026

@GnomeSlice All I am saying is that it might be easier on him.

@FAE Heh, that'd be my guess

@GnomeSlice That's what I'd wanted to do. I wanted to go and teach and keep taking courses and learning more things.

2:57 AM

@FAE No. He has a bunch of degrees. Just TAs and he might teach a bit, but I don't think as a professor. Mostly just as a student getting a bunch of degrees and funding himself by teaching what he learned previously

user15026

@FAE So much this. I am so annoyed with the structure of my English program and the courses. It made me feel so stupid much of the time.

user15026

@FAE I want to do this but I don't think I could teach ever

@Ktash Wow, that's awesome.

@FAE relevant (though not all things I agree with, but good none-the-less)

Im in all gifted and so much hw!!

2:58 AM

@FAE Yeah. He's really smart. And really enjoys it

not 100% he still does it

I was in a gifted prgram in highschool and basically the only difference was I went on a couple field trips

Hw is the worst part of school

but he was there for like 10 or 15 years or something at least

user15026

University taught me that I am as stupid as bumps on a log

It was bullshit

College taught me that I don't give a shit about my life

2:59 AM

@Ktash That's so cool.

One of the girls in my program became a professor

user15026

I want to learn but the education system makes me feel like I am never good at anything ever

like right after she graduated

@stizzle84 Dude...whatever it is you're trying here, I don't think it's working. You're not really contributing to the conversation at all.

@FAE Yeah. So it is possible. :)

user15026

3:00 AM

@Ktash Oh, nice :)

@Ktash There were a lot of careers I gave up on pursuing as a child because I was afraid I couldn't make enough money. :/ I wanted to be a writer or an artist, I really wanted to create things but I was scared of being poor.

I already know I'm going to be poor

I'm probably going to work at Old Navy for my whole life

@FAE Yeah, that's a tough one. I was really lucky growing up my parents driilled into my brain that if you are poor, or can't make money with what you love, it doesn't matter. You love it, so do it

But it is a hard thing to be able to do

@Ktash That's a really nice idea but like... in practical matters, it won't keep a roof over your head or the lights on, you know? :/

user15026

@Ktash Yeah, see, having been as poor as one can possibly be with a roof still over my head, I don't buy that.

user15026

3:02 AM

I am pissed because my degree is useless in a lot of ways

How

user15026

Part of the reason I want to go back is because I just want to get something that i like that pays actual money

It isn't about keeping a roof over your head. That was the point of it. I always had a roof if I was in trouble, and so long as I did what I loved, that would be ok

I don't learn, going back to college again will probably be another waste

That's what I mean

3:03 AM

I am starting to think I am incapable of learning any more

user15026

@Ktash Yeah I so don't have that luxury

user15026

I keep myself on my feet or nothing does.

sure you have to make money. This world works on money. But the fear of making it was never meant to drive your life

user15026

@GnomeSlice Try taking a break for a while.

@AshleyNunn Yeah, as I said. I was/am really lucky

user15026

3:03 AM

@Ktash Never meant to, perhaps, but does, constantly.

user15026

(aka I have worried myself to throwing up twice this week over my perf review because if I lose this job I am out of money)

user15026

(And i know that is unlikely, but the wolf is always knocking on my door)

@AshleyNunn When is that? Tomorrow?

user15026

Alright, time for tea and animal crackers, because now I am stressed and almost crying.

user15026

@Frank Thursday. I am scheduled through SUnday now so I am worrying less but like I am still on edge

3:05 AM

@AshleyNunn Yeah, I know the feeling.

It's that unknown that makes you go bleh.

Lol @ashley when i feel like crying i puch my pillow multiple times

user15026

@Frank I can't even. I am so so worried. And I know I shouldn't be

@AshleyNunn You are a lovely, wonderful human being and I have confidence that it will go swimmingly. Partially because of that, and partially because of how you've described your job, and the people around you. It sounds like they enjoy you and you enjoy them. And in addition to that, it sounds like they are good people too

user15026

But I am.

user15026

@stizzle84 ....I do not appreciate that lol one damn bit.

3:06 AM

@AshleyNunn Been there. If possible, I would recommend trying to stop thinking about it.

Lol

But sometimes, you can't do that.

@stizzle84 Dude. Empathy.

Seriously.

?

@Ktash The only thing I ever worried about in my life in regards to a career was "How can I make enough money so I can be financially stable?" And here in the NL, I am currently financially stable, Jochem makes enough that I don't have to worry about things, and there's a good social system here to help you if you don't, but now that I'm stable, I don't know what to do with myself.

user15026

Yeah, I am trying my best! Tea, animal crackers, a good book, my thwomp pillow

3:06 AM

The idea of being able to do something just because it makes me happy is completely foreign to me.

@stizzle84 Look it up. You want to participate here, you need to start displaying some.

@AshleyNunn Apparently, one wierd brainhack is that if you worry about something, it just gets worse.

user15026

@Frank Yeah, worry is kinda compound-y

But if you say, out loud, "I am excited about it", it turns that anxiety into something that helps you.

I dunno how it works, but that is apparently a thing.

@FAE See, I'm the other way. I've never understood going into something for money. I quit my job and am currently unemployed with no fallback plan just because I didn't like things as much as I wanted. I'm not worried about the money, I'm worried about what makes me happy.

A balance in the middle is probably the best solution though lol

user15026

@Ktash See, having had friends pay my rent and buy me and my cat food so I could survive makes me hate statements like that.

3:09 AM

I did show my feelings about almost crying and punching my pillow

user15026

Because like...two days before I got my job, I signed myself up for fucking welfare

@stizzle84 You need to learn to articulate yourself better.

Because you come off as incredibly insensitive.

And I'm somewhat surprised you haven't been punted already.

:,( about to punch pillow

user15026

Alright, I am out. I can't handle this.

@AshleyNunn Oh, I didn't mean it like that. I apologize. I just mean that I was never taught to worry about money over loving what I do, so I don't. I did that knowing I have a safety and know that I am very fortunate to have that in place. I also saved enough money so that I knew I was capable of this

Sorry, I didn't mean it to come off that way. I just reread it

3:15 AM

I need to be alone for a while bye prob good night

user15026

@stizzle84 Have a good night

Nvm i love u guys u r supportive

Now I'm just watching through RSAnimate videos.

I needed to go grab food :/

I just ate fake pop tarts :(

user15026

@Ktash oh no! Eat something :)

3:19 AM

It was not that satisfying

Ewwww sounds gross

@spugsley fake pop tarts?

I really hope not plastic

@Ktash yeah like...earth fare brand

That just does not sound good

Nope

Here's a bunch of videos for you all. Go. Be distracted by learning. I'll be back after I get food
