4:00 PM
It just stinks because I have some really irresponsible friends who are a bad influence on me
 
We're (not at all) sorry
 
They're even worse than you guys, believe it or not!
 
coming from someone who was pretty terrible at it, YNAB (you need a budget) is fantastic
 
So.. Angry militia occupies a federal park building in Oregon. In the middle of nowhere, but a ways out from Burns, Oregon. They demand the government release the land 'for the people'. So on Tuesday, the Burns Paiute Indians, who settled it before we were ever here, asked them to leave.
 
Militia because they're white. Any other skin color and they've been nuked already
 
4:02 PM
@MadMAxJr #yallqueda #yeehawd #vanillaisis
 
The media has already flagged them domestic terrorists.
 
@GodEmperorDune Oh man yeehawd is even better.
 
Still, somewhere, 8 year old me is going, "Is this gonna be a cowboys vs indians fight?"
 
@MadMAxJr The militiamen claimed initially they were doing it to support these sleazeball ranchers who had been vandalizing government land
Those sleazeballs promptly turned themselves in and distanced themselves from the militia. That's how bad they are.
 
@twobugs yep yep
 
4:04 PM
Burning government land to hide their illegal hunting.
 
The arsonists were already planning to turn themselves in before this happened.
According to their lawyer.
 
and i think cliven bundy still has not paid his back taxes for grazing on federal land
 
There's a really funny image of someone blaming the government for not sending their social security check as the reason they can't join the militia
 
I just like the idea that "Giv us our lahnndd backkk" being followed up by an indian asking them to please get off their land (which they part own and part share through federal agreement)
 
Cliven Bundy is a piece of trash. Grazing on federal land (from my understanding) is heavily subsidized. He just wants it for free because he's an asshole.
 
4:05 PM
@twobugs agreed
 
Heavily subsidized as in "it's basically a 93% subsidy"

Software Publishing

Proposed Q&A site for publishing apps on Google Play and iTunesConnect and Windows Store and other platforms.

Currently in definition.

 
@twobugs its like $2 per head of cattle per year or something ridiculous
 
The whole militia thing is amazing because it's people complaining about stuff with absolutely no sense of self-awareness
I particularly love the previously noted "keep the gubment off the land they stole for us from the indians"
 
...
How did this get through editing?
 
4:08 PM
Wait - why wasn't the AHHH! translated?
 
@Yuuki pakistanian is spoken in pakistania, a country that only exists in the DC universe
 
@Yuuki derp
mistakes happen
 
@GodEmperorDune That's actually DC.
@Ohnana There's mistakes and believing that the official language of Pakistan is Pakistanian.
 
At least comic fans can agree that whichever company you prefer, the editors are fools.
 
@Yuuki maybe they forgot what urdu was
 
4:11 PM
@Yuuki To be fair, the official language of the USA is American.
 
It's literally putting "pakistan language" in Google or realizing that Americans don't speak Americanian.
@twobugs Which is different from Americanian.
 
Just like how the official language of Mexico is "Mexicanian"
@Yuuki You're right, good thing I'm not an editor!
 
At least "translated from Pakistan" is a slightly more forgivable offense.
 
I mean, it's not like we have numerous real life and everyday examples of the primary language spoken in a country not being named after that same country
This is like that Flash comic I've seen reposted where they claim he is running slower than the speed of light but he actually ends up running way faster because nobody checked the math
 
That one where he rescues everyone in a city from a nuclear bomb?
 
4:13 PM
Yeah
 
I think the math worked out to him moving at roughly 32,000 times the speed of light.
 
You know, just a small error
 
Which is... kinda a lot.
 
I mean I get there is suspension of disbelief and whatnot but... "Pakistanian" is not a real language and that's a big math error
 
Well they probably used imperial so it happens
 
4:15 PM
If nobody is checking these things what are the editors doing? Just coming up with goofy new crossover events and/or trying to annoy fans?
 
They check grammar, sentence structure, wording etc. Not meaning
 
yep, their pakistania expert is surely getting fired
 
@twobugs There is no official language in the USA. The de facto standard is English.
 
I mean, I think one of the simplest things to do before publishing anything is just run it through word
 
Also using "Americans speak English" as an example of a country that doesn't use a language based on its country name is pretty silly.
Because there is a country (England) that the language is named after where the language originated.
 
4:17 PM
I think it suits my point just fine. The language predominately spoken is not named after our own country.
 
Because the language predates the country.
 
My point is you can't just add "-ian" to something and expect it to be a real language.
 
Ok, that's fair.
 
I'm sure I could have phrased it better but I am hungry
Very very hungry
 
I actually just saw the argument without the context and couldn't figure out the context.
And the argument without context didn't make any sense.
With it, though, it checks out.
 
4:19 PM
well people from china speak chinesian
 
This reminds me, I bought a copy of Superman: Red Son that I need to read.
 
Red Son is a great story
 
@MadMAxJr ooh, let me know what you think
yeah i love all the elseworld stuff
 
I prefer All Star Superman I think but I'm a real sucker for that
One of my favorite artists (shut up he rules) and one of my favorite authors
 
@twobugs i never read it but enjoyed the DCAU movie
 
4:21 PM
I haven't seen the movie but I love the comic. Frank Quietly's art is just amazing. Very wonderful and surreal quality to it without being too unrealistic
 
And after that I need to get back to my tomes of Absolute Sandman.
 
It's still really weird to me that people actually read DC comics stuff.
 
@StrixVaria instead of marvel, you mean?
 
I just pick up the occasional DC or Vertigo collected edition that interests me.
 
@GodEmperorDune Yes.
 
4:22 PM
I ignore DC movies and TV shows. They... don't seem to hit the magic that Disney-Marvel has.
 
I've always liked DC characters more, but I barely follow American comics nowadays because DC really bungled the new 52
 
The only reason I will watch The Flash series currently is that Mark Hamil is doing a badguy on it.
 
@MadMAxJr the DCAU has been fantastic since the 90s
 
@MadMAxJr I actually liked The Flash and am liking Arrow so far.
 
much better than the live action stuff
 
4:23 PM
This is my first exposure to any non-Batman DC stuff literally ever.
 
Oh yes DCAU is great. I meant the live-action.
 
DCAU is A+, and DC has some really strong elseworlds stuff.
 
DCAU Green Arrow is best Green Arrow.
Snarky, utility arrows, and make fun of Batman.
 
I still think the JL/JLU Flash is my favorite iteration of the character by far
 
@MadMAxJr So far in Arrow, Oliver is literally Batman but more interesting in every conceivable way.
 
4:24 PM
I watched some handfuls of Arrow. The Flash crossover was somewhat interesting.
 
Lovable goofball who is actually the moral compass of the team and one of the more driven members
 
He just seems too serious compared to the DCAU Green Arrow I like.
Gotham is hopefully canceled.
The Flash just drives me insane because his friend can say the word 'hack' and he's hacked anything.
 
@MadMAxJr Having never even heard of this superhero before, I think this iteration works.
 
Though I do like the fact The Flash has a portal to alternate earth Flash which is the silver age Flash with the winged WW1 helmet.
 
@MadMAxJr Wait, is this in the live action show?
 
4:26 PM
Yes.
 
I need to see this, Silver Age Flash rules
 
They got an older actor for alternate Flash and he's pretty good.
It's just the plots are a little campy and bleh for what I like.
Also DC seems to think they can fix plot holes with dramatic poses and colored lighting.
 
Basically I just think DC has some really great characters and nobody from Marvel has ever grabbed me in the same way
 
Marvel has some dry characters but their writing in Shield (or Agent Carter) has been top notch.
 
The quality of the writing waxes and wanes and a lot of the same artists/writers end up working for both companies
To me it's more about which characters interest you more
 
4:28 PM
Still hey DC. Get with your Vertigo subdivision. Get on with making some kind of live action Sandman. Gaiman said he's ready. DO IT.
 
I've been pretty unimpressed with Marvel's recent crossover stuff (basically everything Civil War and later), but DC has just dropped the ball so hard recently
 
I've got Absolute Metropolitan next up on my ordering list. I've been told that's a great read.
 
I've never heard of that, time to check it out
 
@MadMAxJr they'll wreck it
 
@KevinvanderVelden Yeah, but I can buy more of that in the future
8gb is enough to start with
 
4:30 PM
I couldn't get my hands on Sandman when I was younger as it was considered a 'mature' title. It's good stuff.
 
Oh, it's a reprint of Transmetro. I absolutely love Transmetro
 
Yeah, I don't know anything about Transmetro, so I'm going into it blind.
 
I was afraid to read Transmetro for a while because the main character is really popular with some... very undesirable people
 
@MadMAxJr Yeah, if I buy two. And LadyWacko needs one too
 
Sandman has some parts that were hard to get over. The 'Cereal' convention.
 
4:31 PM
But it's actually a great series and almost everyone who just posts a picture of Spider Jerusalem being a Wacky Guy is completely missing the point
 
@MadMAxJr And that's before the $65 dollars in rebates
 
can someone apply the edit I did here to this answer?
 
@KevinvanderVelden This will be my first desktop, so that hasn't been an option before
@GodEmperorDune Even if they are switching to a subscription service -.-
 
@Braiam Looks like it was rejected a while ago for "not improving readability"
 
good morning bridge
 
4:33 PM
@twobugs I know... is boggus
 
Don't know enough about DF to comment any further, sorry.
 
@SaintWacko you can pay about the same amount if you do it once per year
 
Seems like it's just removing a redirect out of that url.
 
@Dragonrage good morning
 
@RonanForman no, the new one points to the latest version of the page
 
4:35 PM
Anyway, back on comics... Y The Last Man is a pretty good read but it drags in a few spots
 
@Braiam Done
 
@SaintWacko thanks!
 
but do the free trial and see if it is worth the money to you
 
@Braiam Np. I saw what the problem was :)
 
@twobugs yep, fully agree
 
4:36 PM
What's So Funny About Truth, Justice, And The American Way is quite good too (and has a pretty good animated movie!)
 
I'm really looking forward to the current dev cycle slowing down, and Masterwork being updated to work with it
Also, my new computer will have a more powerful processor, and will be able to run a bigger fortress!
 
@Braiam Oh yeah, they are different.
 
Superman vs The Elite is the movie (and it has a great voice cast)
 
don't count on that, as Toady is fixing several old annoying bugs
 
@Braiam Yeah, I know it might not be soon, but I still can't wait
I love reading the DF devlogs
I alternate between laughing at his descriptions of various bugs, and marvelling at what he's doing

Q: Can I die my way through the Wasteland to get better loot?

simbabqueUsually dwellers find an item once an hour, plus the items gained from succesfully completing special events. The change to get rare or legendary items is tied to the time the dweller has spent exploring. Now when a dweller dies in the Wasteland and is revived, their HP are fully restored and th...

 
I wonder if he realizes how incredible it is
 
@SaintWacko Incredible how?

Q: Can't order Deacon out of Power Armour

djsmiley2kNormally you can order a follower out of power armour by talking to them and it's one of the options however every time I talk to Deacon he tells me he's having second thoughts about his recall code. I have tried telling him yes and no about reading it, with no change in the dialog and then the ...

 
It's mind-boggling
I am in awe of Toady
 
@SaintWacko Meanwhile I'm pondering how to quickly check if two files are the same.
 
@Yuuki Well, that's obvious. Open both the files, and ask the user to check and see if they're the same!
 
 
5:04 PM
It's been three weeks.
Pretty minor spoiler.
 
@ardaozkal i think it would be better to flag as unclear as he doesnt really have a specific question, he is like your typical bronze league of legends player. wants to know why he isn't ranking up but wont admit he isnt good enough to
 
There's no big reveal for that
 
i may be wrong though
 
IMO, anyone who is crazy avoidant of Force Awakens spoilers should have seen the film by now, or can STFU (or log out of the Internet)
 
 
@Sterno i have yet to watch any of the star wars movies
 
I'm not saying that it automatically makes you a bad person, but it does strongly suggest it.
 
@Dragonrage Spoiler alert: Snake kills Dumbledore.
 
At the end of Bad Dudes, Regan offers to go out for hamburgers.
 
Or tranqs him. Depends on how you view Big Boss, I guess.
 
5:06 PM
 
@Yuuki O.o.O
 
Dumbledore, remember the basics of CQC.
 
@Sterno hue
 
this whole time i thought he and Gandalf had a wizard battle and Dumbledore lost
 
I never felt like Gandalf as portrayed in the series was so much a wizard as a bard.
Maybe a multi-classed bard/fighter.
 
5:08 PM
Mandalf
 
Plot-Device/Wizard mutliclass.
 
Unkillable Super NPC
 
Gandalf is the poster boy of DM-PC. "What? He died fighting the Balrog." "No, he got through that and he came back." "Man, we couldn't get through that. He's such a Mary Sue." "IF YOU DON'T LIKE MY MAGICAL ADVENTURE YOU CAN LEAVE."
 
@Sterno Well he doesn't do such a great job of that
 
5:10 PM
somebody play SOMA so we can discuss it
 
@twobugs On the contrary. No PC would have survived what he did
 
pls
 
@twobugs What @MadMAxJr said
 
@Sterno Nor did he. He died, and God said "Wow things got all hosed up"
So he was sent back as Gandalf + 1
 
Semantics
 
5:12 PM
I don't think death is semantics
 
@twobugs i didnt realize Gandalf had a +1
 
@GnomeSlice I have it!
Need to play it though
 
Coming back from the dead and putting on a different color robe and then continuing to do exactly the same stuff is not much different than never having died
 
"Deploy the Gandalf Mark 2!"
 
Particularly when it's all offscreen/offbook
 
5:13 PM
@KevinvanderVelden dont read up on it first!
 
I've seen someone play the first hour or 2 of it

Q: Minecraft story mode: Coming Soon error

John SmithI recently got MCSM for the PS4. Upon attempting to play Episode 2, it shows a message Coming Soon on it, despite Episode 2 existing for quite some time now. Upon going to Episodes, and trying to download, it says Purchased & Coming Soon. How do I fix it? The game is at it's latest version. Will ...

 
I think that's just an example of a lot of the really interesting or cool stuff in LotR not happening "in view" so to speak
 
play the rest yourself
i did that too
 
5:14 PM
This is different from the manga release where he is known as 'Gandalf Kai' and appears in battle armor with a staff beam cannon.
 
Which always bugged me about LotR but whatever
 
@GnomeSlice I completed about 85% of it
 
@Sterno wtf finish it
 
@twobugs I'm taking this as a response to @MadMAxJr
 
My free time diminished a month later when I had some, I didn't care anymore
 
5:15 PM
I watched Markipliers entire play of SOMA. I have no interest in playing it. I'm curious what happens if you give the WAU the gel it asks for.
 
Things I never expected to see with regularity on my Steam front page: a Warhammer Fantasy game.
 
(I read what the ending was, and don't really feel the need to go back and play the last hour)
 
fair enough i guess
 
It was a good game.
 
SOMA is more of a storybook with some puzzles than a game. Which is fine, I like stuff like that.
 
5:15 PM
@twobugs Tolkien is unmatched in worldbuilding, but his prose leaves a lot to be desired.
 
Tolkien is boring as a thing which is very boring.
 
puzzles and scarystuff
 
Puzzles and 'Oh god I pulled that plug why is the computer screaming'
 
@Yuuki I agree. There's lots of really awesome stuff that happens which you just don't see
 
Tolkien has missed about... 80 years of progress in writing on account of being that old
 
5:17 PM
@Sterno I wonder how many pages you could fill just by transposing all of his prose that involves naming someone's lineage.
 
@KevinvanderVelden Fair enough I suppose
 
Oh only 60 actually
 
@Yuuki Isn't that basically the Silmarillion?
Which I'm sure I spelled wrong.
 
Tolkein has managed to remain very popular over the years. This has made the Tolkein estate very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad idea.
 
@Sterno you did not
 
5:18 PM
@MadMAxJr Christopher Tolkien just seems to strongly dislike fun
Maybe he is Sterno?
 
i played it with my dad watching and he kept turning the sound down because he said it was creepy
 
Ugh, why are Darkest Dungeon's loading times so long?
 
WHICH IT WAS
@Yuuki worth it
 
Is that game out of beta yet?
 
nop
 
5:20 PM
Oh, Feb 3
Man
 
yap
 
Lots of games coming out soon
 
Darkest Dungeon is almost done. I think the last dungeon area is what's left. The house on the hill.
 
I'm going to be playing Final Fantasy Explorers. I hope that game is good
 
@Sterno do you know when cogmind comes out fully
 
5:21 PM
Every major patch tends to drop some new content in it. And the grind is so insane that I'm not worried about running out of content.
 
It's a Monster Hunter clone that my dumb friends will actually play because it has Final Fantasy in the title
 
lol
im thinking about getting D3 on ps4
 
Which reminds me, I should do a Monster Hunter 4 quest during lunch.
 
@MadMAxJr Ooo, what rank are you?
 
one of my friends keeps bugging me to get it
 
5:22 PM
@GnomeSlice I have that, it's great. Only problem is there are no seasons, which is a big thing that keeps me playing
Otherwise the controls feel great on the PS4
 
I'm still a piddly HR1 Bow user. Going through the single player quests. Just downed Tetsucabra to make the dwarf-like villagers of the volcano town happy.
 
like winter/summer?
 
@GnomeSlice Well "seasons" are basically a 4 month period where you start over but there are new items and whatnot. Puts everyone on a level playing field
After 4 months all season progress is merged with your normal progress
You can also earn cool cosmetic rewards for doing stuff during seasons

Q: Temple run 2 water slide Easter egg?

Scott MermelsteinI've noticed a different sound in temple run 2 when I do a certain sequence. I haven't figured it all out yet, and don't see any references to it online. I usually run with the gem power-up. When I'm in the water, and trigger my power-up, I sometimes have to duck. When I do, I hear a totally dif...

 
@twobugs wait, is it competitive?
 
5:25 PM
It can be, if you want it to be. I don't compete during seasons but it's fun to try out the new items before they get added to the normal game
There are leaderboards
 
does it force you to start over though
 
If you play in a season you start over with nothing
 
Old season characters are dumped to normal play, everyone starts new on the season.
 
But once the season is over everything you gained during that season is merged into your normal account
 
fuck I hard to go buck to work

5:27 PM
@Lazers2.0 is that Dominic Monaghan
@GnomeSlice just meme'd himself again
 
@Dragonrage No
 
@Dragonrage its the same @gnomephone meme really
 
@GodEmperorDune i was meaning he re-meme'd himself with this meta.gaming.stackexchange.com/a/10371/127901
not that he created a new one
 
@Dragonrage This is why memes become memes. Pointing it out again every time actually kills the joke, if anything, and is discouraged.
We could add a meme entry about killing jokes from other meme entries we're so good at it.
 
kill it before it lays eggs
 
5:38 PM
Too late.
 
the internet has too many memes, so much so that they are becoming currency
 
@Dragonrage only pepes are currency
 
Memes are like dinosaurs. Bigger ones eat the smaller ones.
 
someone posted an academic analysis of memes and meme culture a few months back
about how memes used to be the domain of nerdy white males and now are moving to more hallmark card, not that funny to nerdy white males memes that old people share on facebook
 
@GodEmperorDune pepe <: meme
 
5:43 PM
@Dragonrage you're just jealous you never saw the rare pepe
 
Rare Pepe, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah"
Value shoot up the sky-y-y
is it bad when an entry on the stack trace contains only question marks?
 
@Dragonrage is it a compiled language?
 
@Dragonrage compile it with debug parameters and symbols and reproduce the bug
 
5:58 PM
@Dragonrage that probably means that your stack is getting messed up somewhere
 
Maybe he should try exchanging his stack for a new one.
I'll see myself out
 
@twobugs if only there was some website where one could exchange stacks
