Heh lego movie is now tied now that an accepted answer exists (cc @Yuuki) :P

Could always just do Lego Movie next time.

I would have voted for Lego Movie if I didn't already see it. It's good, but I'd rather watch that sea movie I've yet to see.

Unionhawk

Sure, sure

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk If you'd like, I'll go vote for it right now

In fact, I will do that!

Unionhawk

Meh

MEH I SAY

Wipqozn

Oh wait, nvm, I did vote for it

Unionhawk

1:11 PM

I ALREADY SAID MEH

Wipqozn

iirc I voted it down since I already saw it, and wanted to make sure my first choice got to the top

Powerlord

It looks like the La Mulana 2 alpha is being distributed to KickStarter backers this morning.

Unionhawk

That's fair, I understand how voting works. I'm an adult dammit.

Powerlord

I'll probably play it (maybe stream it) after work.

Unionhawk

I first saw it on a Trihex family movie night. I probably never would have bothered otherwise.

5pike

1:16 PM

@Powerlord Reminds me that I still have to finish La Mulana. I doubt I can finish it without a guide, though.

Powerlord

@5pike Some of the later puzzles are brutal.

Wipqozn

I never beat La Mulana, It does get really brutal.

Powerlord

@5pike How far were you in to the game anyway?

Wipqozn

It's a funa game, though. I should go back to it.

5pike

@Powerlord So I've heard. I really want to beat it without a guide, but I fear I'll never manage.

Q: Payday: The Heist language problen

OK, so i got Payday for free, but it's in a language I don't know. Can someone send me something like a layout of the settings menu and stuff?

payday-the-heist

5pike

@Powerlord I have no idea. Got it in a bundle when it wasn't on steam.

Powerlord

@5pike Well, for the early to mid-game puzzles, the text recorder is critical.

5pike

Last thing I remember, I was solving some water-related puzzle

Powerlord

Actually, it's pretty well used in late game too...

Serverfrog

@Lazers Smells like... "Free". Like a Unlimited and non Function restricted Demo Version without timelimit (that is not from a reliable source)

5pike

1:19 PM

@Serverfrog They gave away Payday for free.

AFAIK

Serverfrog

@5pike Where? O.O

5pike

@Serverfrog The better question is, when.

Powerlord

Fun fact: It's possible to do a lot of exploring in La Mulana without beating any of the bosses. However, you will eventually get gated with your only choice to beat one of the first four guardians

Serverfrog

@5pike and who.

Sterno

@Wipqozn Haven't done anything since beating the first Chalice Dungeon. Still need to kill Vicar Amelia. Been spending my time on POE lately

5pike

1:20 PM

@Serverfrog Who is easy - the developer Overkill

Wipqozn

@Sterno Okay, here's a protip for killing vicar: Hit her without getting hit yourself

Sterno

@Wipqozn That's worthy of Yahoo! Answers

5pike

@Serverfrog Found it

Sterno

@Wipqozn Hey, are you at work right now?

Wipqozn

1:22 PM

@Sterno That's the quality I was shooting for

MBraedley

@Unionhawk I know I should be taking that seriously, but it's hard to get over the Dutch.

Serverfrog

@5pike found it in the same moment too ;) but ... it was last year in October... it smells fishy but that not my problem now right?

Frank

Good morning, Bridge

Sterno

Starring that to see if it induces drama

5pike

@Serverfrog Yeah. If he admits that he got it illegal, then we can do some closing actions.

Unionhawk

1:24 PM

@MBraedley oh, no sound here, so I only see English subtitles

Wipqozn

@Sterno I bet pinning it would cause drama.

Sterno

@Wipqozn Maybe you should find out

Frank

Stars cleared! Commence drama!

MBraedley

@Unionhawk But it is an awesome idea.

Sterno

I just... meh

I can't be bothered.

Someone else get worked up about it, and I'll come back and read about it later

Wipqozn

1:26 PM

@Frank WHATHOWDARETHEYJNAKDJASKDJwufkcingMODABUSE@fredleyDKASDASLDkadlaskdHITLER

Frank

@Wipqozn At first, I thought that was complete gibberish. Turns out, you actually had some words in it.

Unionhawk

No fuck all of you and your pretend star clearing drama

Stars literally don't matter

Powerlord

The point don't matter. But what if they did?

Sterno

Stars are the only thing that matter.

Unionhawk

No get out

Powerlord

1:29 PM

@Sterno This isn't Mario 64.

Unionhawk

This isn't even Mario Kart

Or Mario party...

Etc ad nauseam

Sterno

My real life value is tied to my Bridge star count.

Arperum

@MBraedley Yea, they do have a seriously Dutch dutch accent. It's terrible.

Sterno

Don't be a hater just because your star count is low

Unionhawk

This is stupid. As normal for the Bridge

I hope this is one guy using all his stars. That'd be funny.

Sterno

1:32 PM

All that hate is going to eat you up inside.

And lead you to the dark side

Which makes your lightsaber turn red

Frank

@Sterno I thought they built them like that.

Unionhawk

It's probably @reginoldsterno

Unionhawk

Oh, no, in that case it's definitely @fredley who I think has unlimited stars anyway.

fredley

1:34 PM

@Unionhawk Mods do not have extra stars

Arperum

@Unionhawk Only through pinning IIRC.

Sterno

@Frank You might have thought that they were based off the crystal they choose, but the new movie will reveal that their mitichlorians make them change color

@Unionhawk I don't star stupid things. Usually.

Rapitor

@Sterno so does that mean its possible for rainbow sabre

Unionhawk

@fredley I thought we scienced this? Whatever, don't care

fredley

@Unionhawk Nah

Unionhawk

1:35 PM

You're probably right, but it doesn't matter

Wipqozn

TIL The America girl store is a place that exists, and solely exists for the spoiled children of rich people.

fredley

@Unionhawk I like how you appear to be angry about how much you don't care

Wipqozn

Like they have a doll restaurant.

Unionhawk

...

5pike

@Wipqozn WUT?

Wipqozn

1:36 PM

You can go and eat supper with your dolls, in a seemingly high end restaurant.

Unionhawk

I am aggressively apathetic.

Wipqozn

@5pike Watch the video

5pike

@Wipqozn @work

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk You seem pretty angry

@5pike So am. I'm just a rebel. Also waiting for someone to fix something.

or waiting for someone to provide me with some mock ups..

I'm currently in a "I'm waiting on everyone else" period.

5pike

@Wipqozn Can't really do that. It's an open office

Wipqozn

1:37 PM

@5pike open offices are the worst

They're moving us to an open office

Unionhawk

@Wipqozn no u

fredley

@Wipqozn Buy headphones. Build walls inside your mind.

Wipqozn

We told them that was stupid idea, but they didn't care.

fredley

@Wipqozn ~~Cattle pens~~ open offices are cheap

Wipqozn

Our dev office consists of 4 people. 3 of us have told them that we'll likely all going to leave the company in a few months since they've basically ruined everything about the job that was good. It's like the company wants to fail.

Unionhawk

1:39 PM

O fuck the student hit by lightning has life threatening injuries. It is absolutely amazing he was responsive. :/

Wipqozn

@fredley Yeah, but we currently have a dev office just for the dev team. They want to move us to a whole different floor with the newsroom, and then fix the entire compny, somehow.

nothing they say makes any sense.

It's really obvious they got the idea "We need this", and aren't listening to anyone who points out none of it makes any sense.

5pike

@Wipqozn Sounds like typical management to me.

fredley

@Wipqozn Nonononononono

LOUD NOISES

user15026

@wipqozn the whole American Girl phenomena is weird. As a kid, had a friend who had many dolls and their fancy accessories. Knew poor kid like me couldn't afford it, but dang. Like you can get anything for those dolls. All pricey as heck.

user15026

@unionhawk Oh shit. :(

fredley

1:42 PM

@AshleyNunn That whole video creeped me out

Unionhawk

Yeah, he went into cardiac, and a dispatcher had to be put on speaker to give CPR instructions.

GET CPR CERTIFIED PEOPLE

Arperum

@Wipqozn Nope. Has anyone told them ten times a day every day that throwing devs in an enviroment with a lot of noise that is not of their own choice is a 95% reduction in productivity?

user15026

@fredley Yeah, it is so weird.

Unionhawk

He's in the hospital now, current condition unknown

user15026

@unionhawk already am.

Unionhawk

1:43 PM

GOOD

Yuuki

@Unionhawk Lucky the dispatcher was certified to give CPR instruction over the phone... that's a certification, right?

I remember it being one.

5pike

@Unionhawk To get a drivers license here, you have to take a mandatory first-aid course, so pretty much everyone knows how to do it.

Wipqozn

@Arperum Yes. My boss is back in 2 weeks, at which point we're going to go talk to the Vice President about it. We're starting to wonder if the manager of our department just isn't conveying our complaints and concerns up the chain at all.

fredley

@AshleyNunn It's like the antithesis of the whole un-gendered toy thing

Unionhawk

@Yuuki It's something you just have to be able to do

But probably?

user15026

1:44 PM

@fredley the video doesn't work on my phone - do they mention the special order dolls that you can make look like your kid?

Wipqozn

Because it doesn't make any sense a company would take a department that works really well, filled with people that are happy and self motivated, and then go and do things that is going to completely undo all that.

fredley

@AshleyNunn No, but heck that sounds creeptastic

Yuuki

@Unionhawk I think the dispatcher has to be certified to give CPR instructions over the phone, otherwise the whole department is open to legal retaliation.

Unionhawk

@5pike fucking nobody gets first aid training around here unless they're involved in sports or boy scouts

5pike

@Unionhawk Damn, that sucks big time.

Yuuki

1:45 PM

I could've sworn there was a news article about it because there was a dispatcher who gave instructions despite not having the certification.

user15026

@fredley Yeah, you (at least when I was a kid) could send a picture of your kid and they'd make a doll like them and make a story featuring one of the American Girls and your kid

Wipqozn

It's funny, because we told them we'llbe fine with moving so long as they give us a comparable space, aka a room with walls and a lockable door. They say no, we can't, because us being in cubicles is critical to the success of the company.

Frank

@Sterno You'd think. And that's how all the games do it. But they've been wrong.

Unionhawk

"why are you taking this?" "I have to..." "is anyone taking it because they just want to be able to help just in case?"

Yuuki

@Unionhawk Silly people. The only reason I selected two movies from the last vote was because of extenuating circumstances.

fredley

1:46 PM

Kids can play with anything. Had some family friends round the other day, 8 year old was content to play with the cat's scratching post as rapunzel's tower. I believe expensive, specific toys degrade the experience of play rather than enhance it. But IANAP, so whatever.

5pike

@Wipqozn The manager probably read some bogus article about open spaces being the new "thing" and now has his mind set to it.

Sterno

How can anyone possibly justify cubicles as being critical to the success of the company?

user15026

@unionhawk got mine with my PSW cert and then just kept up. Have first aid, CPR, and nonviolent crisis intervention (basic bodily restraint)

Newly Opened Proposals for Entertainment

Mountainboarding

Proposed Q&A site for amateurs and professionals to gather and share knowledge about the sport of mountainboarding.

Currently in definition.

Unionhawk

@Yuuki dispatcher assisted CPR training appears to be a thing

Sterno

1:47 PM

@fredley They use expensive, specific toys in imaginative ways too, so I wouldn't say they degrade it. they're just a waste of money

fredley

@Sterno Fair enough

Unionhawk

@AshleyNunn I have mine for my Divemaster, so I just have first aid and CPR

user15026

@unionhawk I have never had to use the NVCI, but it's fun to say I can.

Origami Robot

I am certified to get out of the way. This is the extent of what I want my participation in emergencies to be.

fredley

I was never bought expensive toys. At times it was awful, but now I'm not much of a materialist, and I respect my parents' choices, so I guess it worked out?

Wipqozn

1:48 PM

@Sterno You see @Sterno, if we're in a room, people will be too scared to talk to us. Also, if we're in a cubicle, all the newsroom people over 40 will suddenly understand the internet.

5pike

@Unionhawk What I can remember from my course was that the instructor mad it very clear that we are doing this to help other people in case of an emergency. He also said, whoever thinks that it's bullshit to take this course in order to get his licence can fuck right off.

Unionhawk

Yeah, that's the thing, good samaratain laws only cover you to the extent of your training.

Frank

@Wipqozn Welcome to what happened to us.

user15026

(it's basically learning how to break free of grabs and holds, and then how to safely restrain someone by like locking their arms behind them with your hands, etc - more effective than it sounds)

Sterno

@Wipqozn Just throw copies of Peopleware at them until they shut up

Frank

1:49 PM

We told them they need to change stuff, so our entire department got outsourced.

Yuuki

@Unionhawk Depending on the state.

Wipqozn

@Sterno Never heard of it. googles

Yuuki

That needs to be a disclaimer every time you talk about laws in the US.

@AshleyNunn this reminds me of one of favorite rescue diver techniques. If a victim tries to climb on you, regulator in and descend. They will get off fast.

That is literally part of my training

Wipqozn

1:51 PM

@Frank It's loads of fun.

user15026

@unionhawk makes sense. It sounds simple, but you would be surprised how much you don't think about in an emergency.

Unionhawk

That, and essentially if you don't think you can control a panicking victim and keep yourself safe, let them tire themselves out and then treat it as an unresponsive diver at the surface.

Frank

@Wipqozn It usually is. When things go wrong in IT, it seems like it never happens in parts. It's jump in with both feet, full speed ahead.

user15026

@unionhawk makes sense, because people in a panic are beyond logic, they could cause you more harm than good

Unionhawk

Yep

Rescue diver is a cool course.

user15026

1:53 PM

Sounds like. Not something I can ever do, because of the shunt, but diving always sounds neat.

Frank

> Mystic Ally
Now has the same attack speed as you do

That...can get super broken.

fredley

I'm pretty deep-water phobic, diving terrifies me a little

Unionhawk

@Yuuki > Not all jurisdictions provide protection to laypersons

...

Isn't... That... The point?

user15026

I don't like boats on deep water (like never going on a cruise ever) but diving always fascinated me. Perhaps because I know I can't.

5pike

I took a diving-course once. It was pretty cool, but the underwater plants disgust me way to much to ever get serious with it.

fredley

1:58 PM

@AshleyNunn I'm alright if I'm out of the water, but even swimming pools freak me out a bit

John

@fredley It terrifies me too but for some reason I really really wanna do it.

Wipqozn

The company has a lot of problems,but none of them have to do with where we sit or us not being in cubicles. The problems are all just the cause of poor management. Like departments not communicating with each other (more than once our marketing team has advertised URLs for pages that don't exist because they never told us about them), a lack of training, and having personal who are bad at their jobs (our marketing department has no one in it that has a background in digital marketing).

Unionhawk

@fredley really really deep water is 2spooky (we had to untangle the anchor chain in 400 feet of water)

fredley

@John I'm happy to watch footage of other people doing it

@Unionhawk D:

John

Like underwater caves. I would really love to explore one, but I would totally die.

user15026

1:58 PM

@fredley I don't mind swimming pools and stuff, but boats and stuff just nope

John

@fredley I start gasping for air doing that.

Frank

@Wipqozn You'll find that lacking communication tends to be par for the course for IT jobs.

fredley

@John Heavy breathing probably not helpful

John

@Unionhawk You...dove 400 feet?

user15026

@wipqozn that sounds like a mess

Unionhawk

1:59 PM

Personally though, I'm obviously perfectly fine within 60 feet, and as deep as 100 is stressful but not bad

@John no, we swam in it

fredley

@AshleyNunn Complete opposite. Also any kind of submerged tunnel/hole is a big no no

this include pool drains

Wipqozn

@Frank It's not even just IT. It's across all departments. Our Advertisement team hasn't been told about ad products before. On multiple occasions.

Unionhawk

We dropped anchor in water deeper than the anchor chain was long, and hauled it back up
