@Derpy Yes. It is in theory somewhere on my "I should play this at some point" list.

Kevin van der Velden

I've played 20 minutes of it!

Riley

I've spend quite some time waiting and now I'm not so sure if it's doing anything or that I have to betray her :/

sequoiad

gah, why are some people so useless at remembering their email password

Arperum

Dammit linethrough markup. WHat are you again.

I was gonna fix that line.

Derpy

@Riley Toriel? Either you go ahead and will meet her pretty soon, or you wait and then will have to go and meet her at the same place

sequoiad

11:13

this one person needs, on average, 6 resets per week

Derpy

the only difference is that if you wait A LOT you will discover why she was late returning.

Riley

@Derpy So waiting actually does something?

Derpy

@Riley just some back-story you won't see otherwise.

Basically, it was all @NBN-Alex fault.

Riley

@Derpy Ah, neat

Derpy

@Riley You receive a call from her every... 10 or so minutes you wait

Arperum

11:16

@sequoiad That is extremely bad.

Riley

@Derpy Cool, thanks for the info.

Derpy

and to see all the messages... be prepared to wait for about 1.5h

small suggestion: if I recall correctly, if you play in window mode, the timer will still run if you keep the window open while doing something else.

Riley

Oh damn

Derpy

Or, if you are really mad like me, you can try to play King&Castle with the nearby column like she suggested.

Sadly, the column never seemed to reply ;_;

BTW, related comic/video. Contains spoilers for Undertale plot & hard mode, so be warned if you decide to watch it and haven't completed the game

So I just learned " @domain.thing" is a valid email adres

Yes, that's a regular, boring space

Chippies

@KevinvanderVelden what defines what is a valid email address? Not all email servers will accept that

Wipqozn

@KevinvanderVelden More like cc your mom

Kevin van der Velden

@Chippies The RFC that defines valid email adresses

Chippies

not sure if any email servers will accept that, but you might have found one, so what do I know... :P

Kevin van der Velden

11:37

Whether it's a useable email adres is a different thing

Wipqozn

@Arperum ARe you sure?

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn You didn't know that already? We all just kinda assumed everyone knew it

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden Arent spaces only allowed between double quoted parts?

Kevin van der Velden

11:39

@Arperum apparently not

Arperum

"like so"@domain.thing

@KevinvanderVelden TIL. I knew you could place a shitton of characters in between double qoutes. But not outside.

IIRC "[email protected]"@domain.thing is also valid.

@Wipqozn Yes. I am significantly different.

Q: Can I attack crawlers with melee weapons without (definitely) being hit?

I'd expect, from the many depictions of zombies by which I have been victimized, that crawlers would pose little danger as long as I'm aware of them and don't stand too close. I'd think that, in 7DTD, I (my character) should be able to easily dispatch a crawler. A swift blow to the head, easily m...

@Arperum I dunno man. You both use The Bridge, I've never seen either of you in the same RL room, you're both from Europe...it all adds up

In fact now that I think about it you could be @fredley and @badp too!

Which would also mean you're @Ash

which also means you're me. Holy crap.

Arperum

@Wipqozn I've only met 50% of the people you mentioned in this post. The other 50% still needs to be proven to actually exist and not be a figment of @PrivatePansy's imagination.

Wipqozn

@Arperum Just because you met them doesn't mean they're still not a figment of @PrivatePansy, since you yourself could be part of said imagination.

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn it's sockturtles all the way down

Riley

@Wipqozn Meet the spy

Private Pansy

12:00

@Wipqozn Do Bridge Europeans Dream of Electric Turtles?

Wipqozn

@PrivatePansy Probably

Arperum

@Wipqozn Yes. But if I have seen said figment it is also a figment of my imagination from that point forward. Even if I am a figment of imagination.

Kevin van der Velden

Are we all in a world of pure imagination? Possibly! But it's dark and has @Wipqozn's socks so it's not a very nice imagination is it

Wipqozn

We never claimed @PrivatePansy imagination was any good. Frankly if we're the best he can come up with then it's pretty shitty.

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden The sun is shining. Get out of your cave where the sun doesn't shine.

That reminds me I need to go to the store.

Kevin van der Velden

The sun is always shining, that doesn't help if it's blocked by something (like clouds or the planet)

Wipqozn

I've been in my apartment with the A/C going for two days now, and it's been glorious.

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden In this case it is also causing natural light outside the building in this part of the earth at this time.

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum HMMM

sequoiad

@Arperum now if only there was some way we could get this light inside the building as well

possibly some sort of opening...

Arperum

12:08

@KevinvanderVelden There's 3 M's. HL3 confirmed cc @badp

Wipqozn

Natural light is the worst

sequoiad

maybe with a transparent substance to stop the rain getting through

Arperum

@sequoiad That sounds ridiculous. You have lighting for that sort of thing.

Wipqozn

Which reminds me, anyone see this new trailer for yet?

sequoiad

you could even use an opaque movable cover to stop light going through the other way at night

or is this just the dreams of a madman

arda

12:11

@Wipqozn not bad

I made it! I watched the unwatchable! (and reinstalled cats to block it in future attempts to open it)

Arperum

@Wipqozn Convenient how you forgot to mention what you are linking a trailer for.

Kevin van der Velden

I mean, it's pretty obvious it's rebecca black

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden I assumed so.

Wipqozn

@Arperum I couldn't think of a game you'd all want to watch a trailer for

arda

@Wipqozn maybe "announcement by stackexchange" or something would work, but people would expect meta, hmm

Wipqozn

12:20

@arda You've already put more effort into this than I did

MBraedley

@Wipqozn At least it's not completely horrible.

Kevin van der Velden

There's some 32 million messages on chat.se, the bridge is responsible for 2.8 million of them. How many of those are rebecca black videos I wonder?

arda

@KevinvanderVelden I wonder if I will get my IP banned from their api if I write a script to download every single message (to get a rb percentage)

Kevin van der Velden

Depends on the speed I suppose?

But yeah, if you want it this year probably

Arperum

You can also not download the messages from before any of her videos came out. That'll reduce the load a bit

Yes, I did. Stack Overflow will throttle it for you after about 20 requests to one per 4-5 seconds- it's "trusted" since I'm using the user credentials here rather than public scraping and it doesn't require as much effort from the servers since I'm using the JSON API and not rendered HTML pages.

longest turkish is afyonkarahisarlılaştıramadıklarımızdanmısınız

which means "are you one of the ones we couldn't make afyonkarahisarian" or whatever. Technically and informally correct, but makes no sense in formal sense, because you don't make someone afyonkarahisarian, at least formally. Informally, that could mean that you fit that person to the culture to afyon karahisar.

afyonkarahisar is a city en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afyonkarahisar

Belgian populist politician knows his shit

note: graphic images of animal feces

and it's Dutch, so you might struggle understanding it

Essentially, he gets 10 pictures of animal feces, and he manages to guess the animal that excreted them for 9 of them

Note how he compares the cat ones to chinese takeaway

I've wondered the whole game what are those and how do they work? I don't see how that thing blocks the door from being opened or destroyed, but since I haven't seen an instance in the game where those seem to have not worked, they probably worked pretty well. Also while we are at it, do these...
