@MBraedley obv down, stairs have lips

Unionhawk

3:25 PM

Dude I just mainly want local Mario Kart and stuff

Martin Sojka

@MBraedley Down, unless somebody seriously messed up while building the stairs.

MBraedley

@fredley Then how do you explain what looks like a landing at the far end?

Rapitor

@OrigamiRobot i agree, but from what i've seen makes me... uneasy. it looks fun, but at the same time.. bare

Martin Sojka

It's not a landing, it's a wall.

MBraedley

@MartinSojka But it looks so close to the stairs

Unionhawk

Since I'll have a house and a TV and won't be with a bunch of random peoples... You know, the kind that would actually pick random housing by force or choice

Woo, phone interview done. Now I can be lazy and farm for a bit before I consider leaving the house :)

Unionhawk

But most importantly a house

So, Bridge, this is the third time I've asked a coworker to send me an Oracle support document I don't have access to in order to fix a problem with our Oracle Appserver.

Yuuki

@OrigamiRobot MAN, F--K BLUE SHELLS.

Powerlord

What do you think the odds are that he'll actually send it this time?

Origami Robot

"YOU HAVE TO LET ME TRY"

Yuuki

@Powerlord -7/3.

Origami Robot

3:31 PM

NO, NO I DON'T

I ALSO DON'T HAVE TO TEACH YOU HOW TO BLOCK IN FIGHTING GAMES

Powerlord

Oh right, I forgot to mention he said he would send it every one of the times

Unionhawk

Actually more likely hell just show up and destroy me. Since he'll maybe not have a job all summer.

DEAR BRIDGE PLEASE DONT ASSIST IN THE MARIO KART AND SMASH TRWINING OF MY BROTHER

Rapitor

@OrigamiRobot well you're just a jerk.

you teach em how to block, but you don't tell them about combos

Origami Robot

@Rapitor SHE HAD JUST AS MUCH TIME TO READ THE MANUAL AS I DID

Unionhawk

He'd probs play bayo 2 forever given a Wii u actually

So I can train on the 200cc kart

Rapitor

3:35 PM

@Unionhawk gotta crash fast

Yuuki

@Rapitor No, no. You teach them how to taunt.

Fighting skills can be learned on one's own. Style must be taught.

Unionhawk

My brother is 18 he knows how to play smash etc

I'm not that much older

Yuuki

@Unionhawk Yes, but does he know the proper taunt for Dedede?

Because if he doesn't crouch-taunt with Dedede, there's something wrong with that boy.

Unionhawk

Dude he plays with 3 max level CPU players. He has no time for taunts

Rapitor

there's always time for dedede taunt

Unionhawk

3:38 PM

In brawl anyway

Though he's not touched the game in a year so I may have a chance

Grace Note

@OrigamiRobot I can call that a success of some sort.

Powerlord

glances at Outlook nothing in my inbox yet

So, the La Mulana 2 demo from yesterday has no action button, no puzzles, and no monsters.

It was literally just walking room to room in Unity.

Unionhawk

I do need to get good at Mario kart though. I played 150cc double dash earlier in the year and got absolutely annihilated

Since double dash was when I was like 12 so I always played it 50cc

And it was also released 12 years ago and I've not played it in 10

Rapitor

100cc is best

Unionhawk

I may have done 100

Wipqozn

3:44 PM

@Sterno It is a fantastic image.

Unionhawk

Wii was 150 strictly for options

@Sterno Nice!

That was a fun fight.

Unionhawk

Unionhawk has added fredley to the list of this room's monsters.

StrixVaria

150cc is the highest number = best.

Powerlord

Powerlord has added Rebecca Black to the list of this room's monsters

StrixVaria

I always played at 150cc on all mario kart games regardless of age.

Wipqozn

Same here. 200cc will be coming out soonish.

StrixVaria

Really? I might have to play Mario Kart 8 again.

Powerlord

3:49 PM

I just realized that the Bacon room has been frozen since September 2011.

Unionhawk

Well, really,I mainly got rekt because I was playing vs someone with recent double dash practice.

Powerlord

Frozen Bacon is nasty

Unionhawk

@StrixVaria 200cc looks NUTS

fredley

@Powerlord That's the first friday link of the day, and it's nearly 5pm here.

No good

Wipqozn

@Powerlord Probably because Bacon is gross.

Unionhawk

Wii U - Mario Kart 8 200cc is Here! Trailer

Powerlord

@Wipqozn I nearly flagged that as offensive.

Unionhawk

Mario Kart 8 - 200cc vs 150cc - Dolphin Shoals (Wii U)

fredley

Bacon is meh

Unionhawk

That's a 13 second difference on a lap of Dolphin Shoals.

fredley

It's nice, but so are other things. It's not in a different league to other foods.

Frank

What's our stance on a user pushing a specific site in all their answers? One that they may be running (it's hard to tell)?

StrixVaria

I've literally never even considered playing on something lower than 150cc. Why go slow when you can go fast?

fredley

3:52 PM

You like bacon because they told you to

Rapitor

@fredley i like bacon because it tastes good.

user15026

@Frank a) do we have proof (without digging for years) that tehy are running it, b) are the answers good without that info?

user15026

Like without the site link

Frank

@AshleyNunn A) No proof at all. Just a hunch. B) The answers seem to be good. Kinda low quality, but decent enough to keep without the link.

Which is why I'm asking; it's in fuzzy territory.

Unionhawk

Your face is in fuzzy territory

user15026

3:55 PM

@Frank Remove the link, call it a day, leave a comment telling them that if it is their site, they need to not spam (or, well, not spam in general would be good)

Frank

@Unionhawk Seeing as how I have a goatee, yes, yes it is.

user15026

I don't think anything drastic needs to be done, if we don't know for sure it is spam etc

Wipqozn

@Powerlord Understandable. The truth hurts.

Origami Robot

Sushi is never the answer

Yuuki

Bacon-wrapped sushi.

@AshleyNunn Bacon-wrapped Chinese food.

user15026

@Yuuki Maybe, depending on the dish?

Powerlord

I don't actually eat bacon that often.

Not nearly as much as I talk about it.

Man, having a discussion about higher level ideas (disability and gaming) is SO HARD in 140 character at a time.

Unionhawk

Most ships have snake names

It is likely a multirole though

MBraedley

@Unionhawk Guess I didn't read that part of the Ars review close enough.

Unionhawk

Of the ships in the game...

8 are named after snakes, 2 after birds, 1 after whales, 6 misc (Imperial Clipper etc)

Rapitor

@OrigamiRobot i like how the first ship they confirm for powerplay is one nobody knows

what happened to courier or corvette D:

MBraedley

Seriously? I didn't add that menu item yesterday?

Unionhawk

4:24 PM

Of the snake ships, 2 are considered fighters, 4 are considered multirole ships, and 2 are considered explorers

Origami Robot

> The core of Powerplay is a secret we're keeping for another couple of weeks, but the update will include a number of new systems and features like the drones we mentioned in last week's newsletter.

MBraedley

Why can't you do that yourself, Visual Studio? You obviously know what I meant.

Rapitor

@OrigamiRobot FD are being very mean

Tim Stone

@OrigamiRobot SUSPENSE

It's probably because they know I haven't had time to play recently and they didn't want me to get run over by an epic hype train.

Dorian

Any Terraria players present?

Yuuki

4:26 PM

They still exist?

Dorian

=_=

Frank

@Dorian Haven't in a long time, but used to.

Dorian

@Frank Why'd you stop? :o

Frank

@Dorian Way too much else to play.

And models to build and paint.

And songs to dance to.

Dorian

Eeh, I get that, so many games I've never finished lmao.

Frank

4:28 PM

And people to hang out with.

Yuuki

And questions to close.

Dorian

But I wouldn't flat out stop playing it. Maybe take a break from it for a while but not stop.

MBraedley

There's never enough time to play all the games we want to play, let alone entertain ourselves with other media and hobbies.

Frank

@Yuuki And content to downvote!

Unionhawk

@Yuuki ~~ooo burn~~ ofc

Wipqozn

4:28 PM

@MBraedley It's terrible.

@Frank @Sterno's to disagree with!

Yuuki

@Wipqozn They've been agreeing more often recently. It's a sign of the Apocalypse.

Frank

@Wipqozn That's been happening a lot less lately.

Dorian

Reason I asked though is because I was wondering whether you've noticed a pattern with Corruption generation on a world @Frank

MadMAxJr

Trying to picture an orbital battleship firing hug-bombardments.

Frank

4:29 PM

@Dorian Hah, no. I stopped before corruption was a thing, really.

Dorian

Seems to me whenever I get corruption in any of my worlds it always spawns overlapping a Snow biome lol

Oh wow, there was a time they didn't have corruption? O.O

Guessing you played PC then too lol

Frank

PC >>>>>>> everything else

Dorian

Agreed, but I can't game on my craptop

Yuuki

> PC > Nintendo >>>>>>> everything else.

FTFY.

@Frank COUGH MONSTER HUNTER COUGH

Dorian

4:31 PM

Well, except I can probably get Minecraft on it if I can afford it lol

Frank

@OrigamiRobot If there's a game out for PC, I will always get it for PC.

Monster Hunter isn't out for PC, so I can't.

Origami Robot

MINECRAFT IS PROBABLY MORE RESOURCE INTENSIVE THAN TERRARIA

Yuuki

Well, it is but it's more hassle to deal with.

MadMAxJr

@Yuuki What I always wished Sega would be but never will >> PC >>> Nintendo >>> All that other stuff

Dorian

It probably is capslock

Yuuki

4:32 PM

Plus, I don't think I'll be able to deal with switching back to 2nd and 3rd gen mechanics.

Dorian

I'm worried that if I ever get Minecraft I'd need people to check in on me regularly to make sure I'm like, eating and well... alive still lmao

MadMAxJr

People run into that issue with their own kids that play Minecraft.

One of my former coworkers has to police his kids behavior in the home minecraft server like it were a playground.

Dorian

I'm more careful now because I noticed just how dangerous Terraria is to me but the first time I started playing it seriously (not figuring out the tutorial mode and such) for the first time in my life I sat playing a game without moving for 8 solid hours.

Origami Robot

PLAYGROUNDS ARE POLICED?

Dorian

When I realized that I kinda freaked a little.

Some playgrounds are policed capslock

MadMAxJr

4:35 PM

He setup the rules, "Dad always has admin rights on the server". I got to hear him discipline them over server behavior once. "HE WAS IN MY ROOM!" "X, were you in Y's room?" "Yessss....." "But Y built a death trap that pinned me there until I died." "Y, did you build an inescapable death trap that X couldn't escape from in your room?"

Yuuki

It's @AutogamiCADbot.

Unionhawk

@Dorian @OrigamiRobot is using AutoCAD, conventions of typing in AutoCAD include using capslock. Deal with it.

Yuuki

He's not capslocking because yelling.

Dorian

Aah, didn't realize that.

Origami Robot

@MadMAxJr I CAN SYMPATHIZE WITH THE DEATH TRAP BUILDER

Unionhawk

4:36 PM

I should make a @UniBot with +cad and other stuff

Origami Robot

IF X DIDN'T WANT TO GET DEATH TRAPPED, HE SHOULDN'T HAVE GONE IN Y'S ROOM

Dorian

I wasn't even sure if capslock=cruise control for cool behavior was acceptable here, hence pointing it out and trying not to be rude about it.

Origami Robot

AUTOCAD IS NOT COOL

MadMAxJr

So I was a little shocked and amused that parenting topics today may have to include, "My son built an inescapable death trap for his brother, how do I discipline this properly?"

Origami Robot

THIS IS A BADGE OF SHAME

Holy fuck, this stuff should really be in a config file and not hard coded. It'd make stuff so much easier.

Yuuki

THIS SOFTWARE IS LESS GARBAGE, BUT STILL HAS A LOT OF UI PROBLEMS

MadMAxJr

Less garbage is still garbage.

Origami Robot

TRUTH

AT LEAST I CAN MASS PLOT FROM THIS

I MEAN, YOU CAN IN AUTOCAD TOO, BUT IT REQUIRES SACRIFICING YOUR FIRST BORN AND SUCH

DON'T PLAN ON HAVING KIDS? WHELP, GUESS YOU NEVER GET TO PRINT.
