The Bridge

Restarted Divinity again (CC @Sterno), accidentally put a skill point into bow for my mage. So I guess she also uses bows now. I didn't realize until I already finished all the side quests in the town (again).

I never attacked with my staff anyway. This way at least she can use all those nifty arrows I find.

Frank

Okay, so that should keep the LEDs where they should be; any tips for ensuring wires don't keep moving?

Sterno

Clearly you should just restart. Again.

StrixVaria

@Frank Solder.

GnomeSlice

2:09 AM

Solder is spelled so weird for how it's pronounced.

Origami Robot

If the movement is breaking the connection, solder is your best bet.

Frank

@StrixVaria I'm pushing my bounds enough by playing mad scientist with wires and LEDs. I'd prefer to not learn yet another skill at the same time.

StrixVaria

That's the real answer, though.

@Rapitor APPLY HEAT, APPLY SOLDER, STOP APPLYING HEAT

StrixVaria

Soldering is super easy.

Of all the crafty hands-on skills, soldering is literally the only one I'd trust myself with.

It's easier than gluing.

user15026

2:10 AM

@OrigamiRobot This works only if you have good hand eye :P

GnomeSlice

user15026

I should not be trusted with anything involving a warm gun that sticks things to things (this includes hot glue)

Frank

@StrixVaria Yeah, I know it is.

Origami Robot

user15026

(although maybe I would be better now, been a while)

user15026

2:11 AM

@OrigamiRobot Okay, that would definitely help

Yuuki

@AshleyNunn Wouldn't that be a hug gun though? Making things hug each other, that is.

Frank

I will attempt gluing. And hopefully, if I can't move the LEDs, I should be able to move the leads as I need and wire them up properly.

user15026

@Yuuki That's bigger :P

Origami Robot

Wire them before you glue them

user15026

@Frank This is making me so excited

Frank

2:13 AM

@OrigamiRobot That was the plan. Would make it much less awkward. Will need to strip wire, though.

Okay, attempt #42! Wish me luck!

Origami Robot

I'm trying to find an image of how you should twist them

GnomeSlice

fucking steam won't let you do anything while it has a verifying files thing open

it hogs all the focus

Origami Robot

@Frank Is the wire solid or stranded?

Frank

@OrigamiRobot Stranded.

Origami Robot

Oh you're pretty well fucked then

Frank

2:14 AM

Which is why it's so finicky.

Origami Robot

Solder is what you need.

Frank

Or different wire.

Origami Robot

Or strip the wire enough to literally tie it to the LED lead

Frank

I was hoping winding it around the lead, and then maybe using electrical tape, would do the trick.

Origami Robot

Or find a really tiny wire nut

Frank

2:16 AM

StrixVaria

@Sterno Can I watch you die yet? Have you tried restarting your computer?

Frank

^ That's the wings I'm attempting to stick them into.

Origami Robot

@Frank Inside the black part, I assume

Frank

@OrigamiRobot The red part right underneath it; it has hollow space inside it.

And the black part just slides on top of the red part.

Sterno

@StrixVaria I don't think that will work. @Gnome has the same issue, as does some random forum dude. It's probably a monitor resolution thing because all 3 of us have monitors that are 1920x1080

Origami Robot

2:18 AM

I see

GnomeSlice

I can no longer play Dark Souls, it seems.

Frank

I'll take pictures of the inside while I'm working.

GnomeSlice

Now it says I'm in game when I launch it but nothing comes up.

Origami Robot

I should work on my little projects more :(

StrixVaria

@Sterno Oh maybe it's because your monitor isn't the right aspect ratio...

GnomeSlice

2:19 AM

@StrixVaria 16:9?

Frank

I was trying to put four LEDs into it, but I'm unsure of the power requirements, other than they work from a 9V.

Origami Robot

I'm stuck trying to decide how I want to do a thing.

Frank

And two of the LEDs are so close that the leads touch.

Origami Robot

You are using some kind of resistor, right?

Frank

Nope.

Origami Robot

2:21 AM

Have you tested this?

Frank

@OrigamiRobot The four LEDs from a 9V? Yep.

Origami Robot

What color are they?

Frank

My blue LEDs came in a tiny unlabelled baggie, so I have no idea of what they take.

I have blue, green, red, and yellow.

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice My monitor is 16:10.

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria Maybe that's it then

Origami Robot

2:22 AM

@Frank Color is all I need

Frank

The blue ones take a 9V like a champ, even when it's only one of them.

GnomeSlice

You need a weird monitor to do it maybe

Yuuki

Ugh, is there an easier way of iterating through the transcript pages?

StrixVaria

@Sterno Have you tried changing your monitor to a weird stretchy resolution and then trying?

Frank

I've burned out three green ones, though, as they seriously don't like even 3V. They were labelled as 2V ones.

GnomeSlice

2:22 AM

I could try running it on my smaller monitor

Sterno

@StrixVaria What's your resolution?

StrixVaria

@Sterno 1680x1050

Origami Robot

Typical blue LED has a forward voltage of 3.4V

Sterno

@StrixVaria Okay, I set to that. Try watching

Frank

@OrigamiRobot I have no idea what that means.

Origami Robot

2:24 AM

turn on voltage

Frank

@OrigamiRobot So it needs 3.4V to even turn on?

StrixVaria

@Sterno Your screen is on 1/4 of the video (the bottom left), and the rest is black.

Origami Robot

Probably

Frank

Huh. Two AA's turn it on just fine.

Sterno

The game switched me back to 1920x1080. One sec

Frank

2:25 AM

And it's SUPER bright.

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria That's what mine does too.

Frank

Way brighter than my other ones.

StrixVaria

@Sterno UGH I HEARD ME PINGING YOU AND GOT CONFUSED

Sterno

Weird. When I alt-tab to the game and back, my windows resolution goes back to 1920x1080

StrixVaria

Try closing the game, then setting windows resolution, then re-opening game.

Maybe the game doesn't update on the fly.

Frank

2:26 AM

Burn

GnomeSlice

@Frank lol

Sterno

@StrixVaria Come on iin!

all kinds of nope

StrixVaria

@Sterno Nope still quarter screen.

Sterno

I'll just blame Windows 7

StrixVaria

I do have Windows 8.

Frank

2:28 AM

Those are the wings (cc @AshleyNunn)

Origami Robot

@Frank I thought you said 9V?

Yuuki

@Frank They look fabulous.

Frank

@OrigamiRobot I try not to burn them out if I can help it, so for one LED, I test with two AA's.

Only green LEDs don't like it; those have to be in a circuit for them to not burn out.

Origami Robot

You shouldn't be powering any LED directly from a source :(

Frank

I said I was mad scientisting this thing.

It's a learning experience.

GnomeSlice

2:32 AM

I am trying to invade people in dark souls but the stupid region lock things keeps fuckign it up

it always just fails

user15026

@Frank holy shit those are beautiful

Origami Robot

How are you connected these 4 LEDs?

Frank

@OrigamiRobot In a big 'ol loop.

Origami Robot

OK, I don't know what kind of blue LED that is then

Frank

@OrigamiRobot It's a clear shell, if it makes a difference.

Origami Robot

2:36 AM

It doesn't.

Frank

What are the risks if I'm powering this stuff directly from a source? If they all light up, does it make a difference?

Origami Robot

You're not limiting the current.

Frank

I don't understand how that's a bad thing.

GnomeSlice

guys im invading somebody in darksouls come watch

@StrixVaria

Origami Robot

Too much current = burned out LED

Frank

2:39 AM

Even after initial light up?

Or does it just shorten their life span?

Origami Robot

They don't require more power to start up.

I'm confused as to how your setup is working at all, so what do I know.

Frank

I realize that; I'm probably wording it wrong.

The green LEDs burnt out instantly on 3V. I would expect the others to do the same, if I'm overpowering them.

Origami Robot

52 secs ago, by Origami Robot

I'm confused as to how your setup is working at all, so what do I know.

Frank

Okay, so I'll continue with the mad scientisting, then.

Origami Robot

The blue ones shouldn't come on at all, in theory.

Frank

2:42 AM

The joys of unlabelled baggies, I guess.

Origami Robot

especially not 4 from 9V

Unionhawk

Test stream if anyone cares to see if I have the connection here to handle it and/or see me possibly blow up (I hate it when the resource extraction point is on the dark side of the planet)

Origami Robot

@Unionhawk Look at this shit @Frank is talkin bout

Fluttershy

Unionhawk

I worked with red LEDs in lab, and "put a resistor in series with your LEDs" was emphasized constantly

Tim Stone

2:46 AM

@Fluttershy Are the rest of those for us?

Origami Robot

@Fluttershy jerk

Unionhawk

That's all I really know.

Fluttershy

@TimStone That is FAE and Jochem about to enjoy St. Louis style pizza! (cc @LessPop_MoreFizz)

Also, toasted ravioli because that is the best.

Tim Stone

I was going to say, I know St. Louis pizza sets the bar pretty low but those almost look like Totino's Pizza Rolls.

Fluttershy

lol

user15026

2:50 AM

@Fluttershy I have never heard of this but now I want to try

Fluttershy

But seriously, the pizza is heeeeeeeeeere!

Unionhawk

Wow. He couldn't handle it.

Yuuki

@murgatroid99 kneels

OMG @FAE

Fluttershy

@AshleyNunn Toasted ravioli? I think it's a regional thing. And it is amazing.

user15026

@Fluttershy I feel like it is a thing I need in my face

Yuuki

2:51 AM

IT'S @FAE. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

FAE

Hi Bridge!

Origami Robot

@AshleyNunn also confirmed jerk

Tim Stone

@FAE You lucky, lucky person.

@FAE only problem is choosing.

Origami Robot

YOU'RE ALL JERKS

FAE

Also mobile chat has not improved I see

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot Guilty as charged

Origami Robot

Nobody ever visits me :(

user15026

@OrigamiRobot I would, if I had money and time for random adventuring

Yuuki

2:53 AM

@OrigamiRobot I'D VISIT YOU IF YOU DIDN'T LIVE IN THE GREAT WHITE NORTH.

Origami Robot

I do?

Yuuki

NOTE THAT AS A TEXAN, ANYTHING ABOVE OKLAHOMA IS THE GREAT WHITE NORTH.

user15026

@Yuuki so what am I in, the Greater White North?

Yuuki

@AshleyNunn SURE, LET'S GO WITH THAT.

Origami Robot

@Yuuki I'm not above Oaklahoma

Yuuki

2:55 AM

ALL I KNOW IS THAT OKLAHOMA IS COLD AND ANYTHING NORTH OF OKLAHOMA IS SUPER-COLD.

FAE

@Yuuki why are you in AutoCAD mode?

Yuuki

@FAE TOO MUCH HYPE TODAY.

Origami Robot

Yuuki

@OrigamiRobot EVEN DALLAS IS PUSHING IT.

Origami Robot

In fact, most of Oaklahoma is above me

Yuuki

2:56 AM

I WILL FREELY ADMIT THAT I AM A REPTILE.

Origami Robot

@Yuuki Now you're just moving goalposts

FAE

This pizza is funky

It's so thin

Yuuki

@OrigamiRobot I'M A TEXAN, THAT'S LIKE A STATE PASTIME.

@FAE I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THE N3DS, MAJORA'S MASK, AND MH4U MIGHT BE DROPPING MID-FEBRUARY. COMPOUNDED WITH YOU APPEARING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN... I'M GONNA SAY YEARS, I HAVE WAY TOO MUCH HYPE.

ALSO, YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT @PRIVATEPANSY IS/WAS WATCHING EVANGELION.

FAE

@Yuuki aww, you're sweet

Also mwahahaha @ Eva

Fluttershy

@Yuuki He is? :o I just finished that!

Yuuki

3:00 AM

@Fluttershy WELL IT WAS EITHER HIM OR YOU. I BLAME SIMILAR GRAVATARS.

Fluttershy

:P

user15026

@Yuuki Breathe, hun

Tim Stone

People should visit me. We have tax-free shopping.

FAE

@Yuuki I only just picked up a WiiU this trip, so I have a bunch of those games to play now. When I get back to the NL I'll add you!

Fluttershy

@TimStone Where? :o

Tim Stone

3:01 AM

Delaware.

Origami Robot

@TimStone Too cold!

Tim Stone

It's just the right amount of cold!

Fluttershy

Fancy.

Yuuki

@FAE I NEED TO GET A NEW GAMEPAD. MINE IS BORKED.

spugsley

HELLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Origami Robot

3:01 AM

HOW MUCH COLD?

FAE

What happened? D:

Yuuki

IT SEEMS EVERYTHING NINTENDO I OWN HAS BORKED IN THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.

DEEP BREATH

I'm not sure.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot I guess you'd never come visit me then :P

Ktash

@FAE Hello. Feel like I have seen you around in a while :)

FAE

That sucks

Yuuki

3:02 AM

The good thing is that I have a new job so I can pay for it. The bad thing is that I'm terrified I'm going to lose it at the end of the week.

Ktash

Maybe that's just me though

@spugsley Hello

user15026

@Yuuki oh no :(

Yuuki

@AshleyNunn It's probably just my regular anxieties.

Ktash

@Yuuki :(

FAE

@Ktash hi! It's been a few months. Been dealing with personal stuff then left internet to go on my trip to the US/Canada

Yuuki

3:03 AM

I have a deadline at the end of the week and I should be able to meet it.

user15026

@Yuuki I work in a call center, I grok the anxiety.

FAE

@spugsley hi!

Yuuki

I'm just full of what ifs.

Ktash

@FAE I see. You're visiting at the moment, correct?

spugsley

OH HAI THERE IT'S BEEN AWHILE

user15026

3:04 AM

(I learned they base my performance on auditing less than 1 percent of the calls I handle....I said some unladylike things in my head about that)

LessPop_MoreFizz

@FAE HI! Long time no see!

Also, I am sorry you have had to submit to pizza torture at the hands of @Fluttershy.

FAE

@Ktash currently out to dinner with @Fluttershy! Also got to meet up with @AshleyNunn while I was in Canada. :)

LessPop_MoreFizz

Head to NY sometime so I can make things right.

Ktash

@FAE Nice! Double whammy then :D

Fluttershy

It isn't torture. :(

LessPop_MoreFizz

3:06 AM

Should've stuck to just the ravioli...

St. Louis pizza is bad.

Fluttershy

Toasted ravioli is the best!

Ktash

@Fluttershy A dinner with you never could be

spugsley

We had delicious Indian food for dinner yumyum yum PANEER

FAE

@LessPop_MoreFizz hi! I did go through JFK this time but we were expedited through because we would've been late for our connection

LessPop_MoreFizz

I don't know that I'd go that far, but I can understand that it has partisans, and it is not inherently gross.

user15026

3:07 AM

@spugsley I had sausages and macaroni and cheese and it was awesome

Fluttershy

@Ktash :3 I do like to show my friends a fun night. I wouldn't call it torture.

user15026

But for now, it is bedtimes for me, because i am cold and tired

user15026

@Fluttershy Dude, pretty sure you are made of awesome and cuteness, so.

user15026

(okay, bed, for reals)

FAE

@AshleyNunn Nini! If you get stressed out, remember your bumblebee can take you on adventures

Ktash

3:09 AM

Now I'm hungry

But I don't have a @Fluttershy to dinner with. Conundrum

FAE

@Ktash so many comments I could make...

SaintWacko

@FAE Are you on a road trip?

Ktash

@FAE DO IT

Fluttershy

@Ktash I don't live near Seattle anymore. :( I could go for some Dick's right now. I miss it.

It's a burger place, you perverts.

Ktash

@Fluttershy Mmm, actually, a dicks burger and shake does sound good

SaintWacko

3:11 AM

@Fluttershy glares suspiciously

Yuuki

Weird, I'm getting a different number of days than the transcript.

Ktash

@Fluttershy I've heard it both ways :P

SaintWacko

@Ktash glaring intensifies

Yuuki

Does the transcript just omit days if there aren't any messages?

user15026

@FAE Oooh, that is a good reminder :)

Ktash

3:12 AM

@SaintWacko You're welcome to join

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria about to fight final ds boss

user15026

@Yuuki Yeah, it generally doesn't show days without messages, dunno if it counts them

FAE

@SaintWacko visiting parents for Christmas then stayed with friends in various places and more with @Fluttershy for the last bit of my trip.

Yuuki

Because I did a basic today - first day in transcript and ended up with 1674 days.

FAE

@AshleyNunn <3

user15026

3:12 AM

Alright, for reals, sleeping (or at least bed) because I AM SO COLD and that makes me hate things

Yuuki

Whereas the transcript says the first day was 1644 days earlier.

user15026

@FAE When I showed my mom, she was like "you have good friends"

FAE

*s/more/now

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn Good night! curl up in your blankets and get warm!

Ktash

@AshleyNunn Night. Keep warm :)

FAE

3:13 AM

@AshleyNunn aww!

Okay, I should head off now because I've used most of my monthly data plan on the temp sim card I'm using and it won't roll over til the 16th. @Fluttershy told me he was taking a pic for the Bridge though so I wanted to stop in. :) later all!

spugsley

@FAE WAIT A PIC WHERE IS DIS PIC?!?!

FAE

@spugsley it was just of ravioli, haha

Ktash

@spugsley First on star list I believe

spugsley

oh lol :p

Ktash

Though, really, we demand more

:P

FAE

3:17 AM

@Ktash more ravioli? ;)

Ktash

@FAE That too. I said I was hungry and needed @Fluttershy to dine with :P

FAE

@Ktash Sorry, he's mine tonight!

Yuuki

Ah, I see a big gap between the 17th and 26th.

Ktash

@FAE Dibs on both of you??

Yuuki

Wow, I can't imagine the Bridge being silent for that long.

@Ktash Dinner party?

Ktash

3:21 AM

@Yuuki Bridge dinner party would be fun. And chaos. And fun

FAE

@Ktash ...lol, okay, time to go to the car now! Later!

Ktash

@FAE come back sooooooon

Yuuki

@Ktash Either potluck or hot pot would be best then.

Ktash

probably

Yuuki

I think some people might find hot pot icky though.

Since you basically just dipping raw ingredients in boiling water/broth/soup.

Ktash

3:24 AM

Oh, and @FAE (and probably @Fluttershy) when you get back, you should look up Ruby Rose. She's going to be on OitNB next year and I think you'll find her interesting

Since when I conquer more land, my unit take 7 turns to recruit them in a turn. Although I did have mods, I don't know if that would be the case. And is it because of my Population? cause every turn it doesn't gain any population. It is Zero every turn I end.

Private Pansy

@Yuuki No I didn't. You take back what you said about my mother!

Well, I may have watched a but of one of the movies, but I honestly can't remember which one and it was terribly confusing and weird

Ktash

@Yuuki did you register all your Disney Movies (or had you done that before)?

Yuuki

@Ktash Need to look through the old boxes.

If I get a movie on Disney Movies Anywhere, it should show up on Google Play, right?

It did for Wreck-It Ralph, but I just want to be sure.

Ktash

@Yuuki There isn't a great selection on the site for what you can get for them, but there are a few good things. I got Toy Story 1 & 2 (which I didn't have yet) from it

@Yuuki Yes

I used Vudu or whatever, but that's how it worked for me

Yuuki

I'm thinking about picking up Guardians of the Galaxy.

Ktash

But I am also eying a few Marvel movies to grab

I don't have very many, which is sad

People don't realize that there's something seriously wrong with the video game market these days

The video game market is overheating

The falling quality of AAA games and rise of microtransactions in full-priced games is very telling

LessPop_MoreFizz

@DragonLord I don't buy it. Crashing prices are not consistent with an overheating market.

And in general, the market has seen a tremendous cash in prices over the past decade.

DragonLord

3:57 AM

Developers are spending hundreds of millions and relying on increasingly shady techniques to even get a shot a breaking even

@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm not sure how. The base price has stood steady at $60 for many years because consumers are not willing to pay any more up-front.

GnomeSlice

FUCKING BUFFED HOLLOWS

DragonLord

Assassin's Creed Unity shows how big this issue is.

Ktash

@DragonLord The volume of sales is completely different now-a-days though

Record breaking sales figures are so much more than they used to be, and they are happening, at least from what I've seen, with increasing frequency

DragonLord

Serious technical issues, poor performance even on high-end hardware, microtransactions
