@BlueBarren The names of some of those obviously porn sites are pretty funny.
 
Goddammit of course there's other search engine caches that aren't secure yet
Ughhhhhhhhh
 
@Yuuki this is no laughing matter. Especially when our porn isn't even safe
@Unionhawk everything changed when the internet got hacked
 
I blame duckduckgo and by extension @Wipqozn
 
8:12 PM
For anyone concerned I just went past the 'p' section and pornhub is not on the list. We may live another day
lol 'smosh.com'
just because smosh is old and reminds me of my preteen years
 
Damn, that's pretty much all the sites
 
LastPass is clean, which is cool
 
honestly there's a lot of 'garbage' in that list which I've never heard of
so I think for the most part everything is fine
but I did note Discord and Crunchyroll are on the list. This reddit post also suggests Reddit itself
 
Cursed image
Or @fredley's new phone background
 
@Unionhawk true
 
8:25 PM
@Yuuki So maybe wait until I'm home to load that up?
 
@MBraedley I mean, it's Github. And it's just text, nothing NSFW.
 
@Yuuki It's not like I can change any of my passwords at work in an efficient manner, since (for some completely asinine reason) I can't use LastPass on my work machine.
 
Greetings.

Long weekends mess me up
 
Question - does anybody have experience with kinguin.net? I am looking to see if I can get a better price for Portal 2 than what Steam is offering but I don't want to do waste money.
I figured someone here might know.
 
i always look for stuff on the humble store
havent ever gotten anything from kinguin
 
I'm always skeptical of sites that offer drastically reduced prices but even Steam was offering Portal 2 for that price late last year during their winter sale.
 
@Ash you got a long weekend? I didn't D:
 
Soooooooooo
google now shows me rebecca black and tells me i'm interested in her

D:
 
8:39 PM
@NathanOsman I thought Portal 2 was normally dirt cheap even through Steam. Isn't it less than $5 on there?
 
Nope, $20.
 
@NathanOsman Seems slightly dodgy, I wouldn't go for the 'steam gift' option if I were you
@djsmiley2k Welcome to the club
 
Well it definitely goes on sale $5 frequently
 
user15026
@BlueBarren Yeah, for family day, so I had Tuesday off along with my usual Sunday Monday weekend
 
@BlueBarren I haven't seen it since the start of the year.
 
8:40 PM
@Ash Yeah they uh didn't want to give us family day here because uh.. idk?
@NathanOsman well if you can wait till the next big Steam sale you can always get it for cheap there
 
@fredley They have two options - Steam gift and Steam CD Key.
 
@fredley the internet never forgets :(
 
@djsmiley2k it does if you nuke the entire internet
 
@BlueBarren Yeah, I was thinking that but wanted to be sure I wasn't missing out on any other options.
 
@Dragonrage it's like a cockroach, it survives!
 
8:43 PM
@NathanOsman Yeah, the gift thing sounds probably like they buy [volume] when it's on sale and then gift them back. Up to you I guess, I'd try and get some solid evidence it works though.
 
Indeed.
Thanks for the advice, everyone.
 
nightshifts :O
hopefully tonight is a little less busy
 
@djsmiley2k i dont think the internet would survive a nuclear apocalypse
 
If you're looking for a cheap game you could try this instead. I might have a copy lying around somewhere I could gift you.
 
had power cuts, sites going very slowly, all sorts of fun D:
 
8:44 PM
 
@Dragonrage Not if the nuke was detonated in the upper atmosphere. The EMP would wipe out every non-hardened chip over a very wide area.
 
cc @Ash
 
RIP civilisation.
 
@fredley That's what quicksaves are for.
 
@fredley or ask @Sterno, doesnt he always have like 20 copies of that?
 
8:45 PM
Yeah, @Sterno really loves that game
 
@fredley why did you have to write "this"? I can't go to that page and now I'm curious what the game is
CURSE YOU @fredley
 
user15026
@Yuuki I love this.
 
For exactly that reason
 
so do you want to be my worst enemy?
I don't have one currently
but I hear they're all the rage
 
Does it have to be a symmetric relationship?
 
8:48 PM
Huh. Is Questionable Content (webcomic) still a thing?
 
mmmm... well what other possibilities are you suggesting @fredley?
 
@fredley Oh, one other thing. It appears they accept payment via PayPal, so there's always the possibility of the dispute process if something goes wrong.
 
@BlueBarren Reflexive?
@NathanOsman That's a good sign I guess
 
@BlueBarren how about a symbiotic relationship?
 
@Dragonrage parasitic?
 
user15026
8:52 PM
@Yuuki Yep.
 
user15026
It still updates M-F
 
Damn, that guy sure has some stamina.
 
@fredley as long as I'm the parasite
Featuring: The Parasite Unit
 
@BlueBarren Wait, I'm your worst enemy and you're the parasite?
 
@fredley ... yes?
maybe you're shampoo
 
8:53 PM
@BlueBarren I don't think shampoo kills parasites, at least, not the way you're supposed to use it
 
@fredley he is leaching life off of you because you are his worst enemy
 
@BlueBarren It's Bad Rats
 
@GnomeSlice oh... I should've guess that
@fredley isn't head lice classified as a parasite?
 
@BlueBarren Shampoo doesn't kill them? I remember my parents having to get special shampoo
 
@fredley and cutting off your hair
 
8:55 PM
@fredley so special shampoo isnt shampoo?
 
@Dragonrage no you fool! Can't you see the word special!? Clearly isn't an indicator of independence!
 
@Dragonrage Lice shampoo is a type of shampoo, if you just say shampoo I wouldn't assume you meant lice shampoo unless the shampoo context implied the shampoo you were referencing was specifically lice shampoo. Shampoo.
 
@fredley If you're the shampoo to my head lice doesn't that imply you're my lice shampoo?
 
@BlueBarren I am completely lost as to the nature of our relationship.
 
@fredley I'm your parasite
feeding off of your ever living breath
every last breath?
I dunno how to english
 
8:58 PM
Even by Bridge standards, this exchange is getting weird.
 
ever living would imply I'm immortal
 
@fredley aren't you?
 
I can't watch that, can someone post a transcript?
 
> It's getting weird
There, transcript provided
 
9:04 PM
@KevinvanderVelden ah, good stuff. Really needed that
 
Hey you asked for it =p
 
> Marco Rubio refuses town halls, responding that people are "rude and stupid".
I mean, this is Florida so he's not wrong, but that's literally his job.
 
Florida does have a lot of rude and stupid, but he knew that when he took the job.
 
@Yuuki "I'm your representative, but you're rude, so you don't get to talk to me."
Cue whining when he doesn't get reelected.
 
Cue him getting reelected because nothing matters anymore.
 
9:15 PM
Oh, also someone passed out Russian flags during CPAC and Trump supporters were waving them around until a CPAC official showed up and started taking them up.
Well, "Russian flags" in this case being "Russian flags with the word TRUMP in the middle".
 
Nice
 
amazon knows me well
 
@Yuuki 10/10 trolling
 
Making live-action adaptations of anime has an interesting conundrum, you either end up whitewashing the cast or you get this:
 
MUST RESIST
NO
Pictured: a turk meets amazon for the first time
 
9:32 PM
As far as I can remember, you either get a whitewashed Hollywood cast (Ghost in the Shell) that may not be "pure" to the source material, or you get a Japanese live-action movie which really doesn't have the budget and, most of the time, the talent to pull it off (Attack on Titan).

Q: How to raise health points (HP) of heroes in Blacksmith Story HD (iOS)?

JurikI play this game for a few days and I can not figure out how to raise the heroes HP. There are still many heroes with 20 or 40 HP. This is quite useless against lvl 30+ monster. Any idea how I can raise the HP? How did I find this game? Well - actually I am developing a similar one by my own an...

 
Question: would it be more or less controversial to cast a Korean or Chinese actor/actress in a Japanese role versus casting a white actor/actress in the same Japanese role?
 
9:48 PM
CNN, NYT, Politico, and Buzzfeed were blocked from a White House press briefing today.
LA Times, the Daily Mail, The Hill, New York Daily News, and BBC were also barred.
I thought The Hill was right-leaning?

Q: Is there a size limit to Villages?

rivermont - Will B.Are there any sort of limits imposed on villages in Minecraft? I know that if you place houses too far apart from one another, or let Villagers wander or gather into small areas it will create multiple villages instead of one, but- Is there any restriction? Can there be infinite houses/Villagers/...

@Yuuki arurf
 
you should come play
 
One hour till I can get back to Monster Hunter.

Q: Minecraft get rid of XP Orbs

Tom J NowellI have a Minecraft server, and via the use of a modpack I have a chunk full of XP orbs. Logging in crashes the server and freezes the client, but I have access to the server via my hosting provider and can issue commands The question is, which command? Googling reveals commands for older modpack...

 
@Sterno my god, I remember another reason I actually stopped playing FTL. That rebel flagship is too fucking hard.
Went into the final phase with 80% hull and was dead within seconds. Fully upgraded shields, fuckton of weapons (including a glaive beam). Jesus christ. Fuck that boarding party.
 
10:20 PM
@Dragonrage LoL?
Oh, okay.
Took me awhile to parse "arurf".
 
@RedRiderX Cool, so he is an ass who didn't just "make a mistake". Good to know.
 
@Ronan There's no question that he's an ass, but that doesn't mean that the reports don't deserve scrutiny.
 
Yeah, but he's saying "I didn't embolden Nazis because I didn't mean to"
 
What is the evidence that it "emboldened Nazis"?
 
Nazis were all like, thanks PewDiePie for normalizing the things we say!
 
10:31 PM
But I don't know if I agree with the implication of "making an off colour joke means you support nazis"
 
👉 We sent a copy of Secret Hitler to every U.S. Senator: https://t.co/38tMVfmP6a
 
I'm not saying he meant to, but it still does.
 
@Ronan So because someone interprets your joke as sincere, you shouldn't be able to make the joke?
Or rather that you are responsible for the consequences of someone interpreting your joke as sincere?
 
When you have a large audience you need to actually think about what you're doing.
 
Louis C K has a big audience, when he joked about pedophila was he "embolding peophiles"?
Sorry, I should say: Is he culpable for emboldening pedophiles?
 
10:38 PM
Sure, and he knows that's a risk and is careful about how he does it.
He doesn't just pay people to hold up "death to jews" signs.
 
@Yuuki yea, lol all random urf
 
@Dragonrage Is it on Summoner's Rift or the ARAM map?

Q: Can I play a new game in my pokemon without permanently deleting the file

LeroySo I have two ds', and I did a system transfer because one ds had the bigger sd card. Both of them still have my pokemon data saved. If I delete the data in one ds of my pokemon but leave the original data in the second, can I replay the game again without completely erasing my current process? L...

 
ima grab lunch real quick. if you want to play after
 
10:44 PM
@Dragonrage Still at work for another 15 minutes and then it's roughly 15-20 to get home.
 
ill prolly just be finishing eating if you want to play then
 
@Ronan SNL paid someone to edit Louis' monologue, I don't think that's relevant.
@Ronan Louis said "Well you could only really surmise that it must be really good".
 
and another night shift yey
 
But he couched it in language that made it clear he does not condone it.
 
I'm loving the shift payments tho :D
 
10:50 PM
I don't know what exactly you're referring to, so I can't really comment.
 
Looking back at Pewdiepie's video, I honestly thing he contextualizes it such that I don't think anyone could reasonably say that he was promoting "Death To All Jews"
@Ronan Sorry still talking about the pedophile monologue.
 
Ah right.
 
The same way the people at the WSJ contextualize their Jew jokes.
 
cc @Sterno @StrixVaria @GodEmperorDune
 
And I don't really argue the fact that it's an off colour joke, but more that articles are misleading when they imply that because "videos he posted in include anti-Semitic jokes or Nazi imagery" he is a nazi.
Because if we are going to get techincal, their videos include "anti-Semitic jokes" too.
I'm hyped
 
11:01 PM
Not making any values judgement on Pewdiepie, but I can't imagine thinking that bringing up Nazi Germany or anti-Semitism in any way that isn't purely historical wouldn't invite problems when you're sponsored by Disney.
 
Hah yeah no one is surprised that Disney had to drop him when the WSJ started sending stuff to them.
 
Nuanced joke or not and whether or not you're in the right, that's just a dumb thing to do.
 
Though tbh I'm pretty sure he's been making off colour jokes of this type for years
Disney had to know what they were buying when they got Maker.

wheee, alone in the office and a thunderstorm is kicking up
 
Hmm... is it accurate to describe cows as, personality-wise, "just really tall dogs"?
 
11:10 PM
Ugh, I have to debug the worst kind of bug: the code works, but there's an inexplicable 15-second pause in the middle of a test that should take just a fraction of a second total
 
Okay, Magician's Saga isn't bad.
Seems to ramp up difficulty significantly in the third stage, though.
 
yay I have hiccups for the 4th time today
 
user15026
@badp aren't you lucky :P
 
everything is tehh-- terrible
 
@badp Somebody's been thinking about you a lot today.
 
11:14 PM
@badp 4 times in 14 minutes? that's quite a lot
 
3rd time around I stopped it with onion rings
I don't have onion rings now.
 
user15026
That is a sad thing :P
 
My god, ME:Andromeda is coming in at 55GB
 
user15026
That seems large
 
@TimStone Oh my
 
11:17 PM
@Ash Aye. Not the biggest game I own, but still pretty large
 
@TimStone And still no word on the Stargate remake.
 
I hope it's not for silly reasons like including uncompressed dialog for like 10 unnecessary languages.
 
GTA V is 73.76 GB to be fair
 
user15026
O.o
 
@RedRiderX Reportedly the character with the least dialog has more dialog than Shepard did in the entirety of ME3, so I imagine there's just lots of content period
 
user15026
@TimStone O.o
 
@TimStone I am so glad I have a reasonable unlimited internet option here.
 
user15026
That's a lot of talking
 
Assassin's Creed Syndicate just in at under 70 GB, and HITMAN is 68.75, so it won't even break the top three for me…but if this trend continues I'm gonna run out of disk space, heh
 
 
user15026
11:27 PM
@badp This is super fascinating. Bees are great
 
user15026
@TimStone Maybe it's good for my disk space that I only play simple casual sort of stuff for the most part :P
 
It still kinda kills me that Valkyria Chronicles is 21.45 GB
 
@TimStone That old PS3 game?

Q: How to fast forward time in Minecraft?

PermanentlyI'd like to create some cinematics in Minecraft 1.8.9 with time going fast but there isn't a mod that's compatible (well, at least I can't find one). Are there any suggestions, or any mods that'll do the trick?

 
@Frank Well, the PC HD remaster or whatever
 
11:29 PM
@TimStone Don't get me wrong; it's a really, really good game.
 
Absolutely! Just surprised the assets take up so much space
 
I suppose it came on a Blu-ray, so those have a normal capacity of...25 GBs?
 
Borderlands: TPS by comparison is only 10.85GB
 
i have a number of 60 gb games
 
Single mom's tax return message: "Instead of buying my kids the latest Jordans, I paid my rent for the YEAR."… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/835151182159036421
 
11:31 PM
LoL is only ~13 gbs
 
@TimStone Okay, 1. I feel like that implication might be a bit uh, not okay 2. < $5400 in rent GTFO 3. You shouldn't have given away free money
Interest rates are terrible but I still wouldn't give the cash away before I had to
 
@Dragonrage I'm in Arqade Discord.
 
@TimStone What place is only $450/month?
 
She's in South Carolina where a 4 bedroom house is only like $170k
 
You can't even get a place like that here, and we have one of the cheapest costs of living in Canada.
@TimStone Shit. My current starter house is worth more than that.
 
11:34 PM
I guess your houses still have to be built so you don't die from the cold
 
@TimStone Little things called furnaces and insulation are sorta required, yes.
 
Minor details
 
@TimStone There is as piece of mind aspect to this that she knows no matter what the rest of the year brings she has a place to live with her two kids
Your take on this is honestly disturbing to me.
... back to running on a mac mini.. which is also disturbing to me... :D
@Frank Remember thats about 340k CAD :)
 
What's disturbing about it?
 
Yer acting like $5 is a fortune
thats, odd to me
 
11:39 PM
Err, no?
 
@James Our dollar's bad, but not that bad.
 
wtf is a latest jordan
 
$5400 is a little less than my gross pay for a month.
 
Nice its back up
 
@badp She's basically implying that other people spend their tax return money on shoes
 
11:40 PM
That's a significant chunk of change.
 
224400 CAD
at current exchange rates
 
Yeah, that's roughly my house value.
 
???
 
Kewl, not too far out of the range of living then
 
@badp I get paid bi-weekly, so some months, yeah, I get that.
But more often, it's closer to grossing 6k CAD.
 
11:42 PM
no I'm trying to understand where @James is getting his figures from
 
@badp 1.32 CAD = 1USD at the moment
I just multiplied that by the 170k houses @TimStone mentioned that Frank was referencing??
 
oh
iunno if I can get a relatively decent house for 300k€ here that'll be a pretty good deal
 
Yeah, similar houses here are $350-450k
 
You can get condos/townhouses here but wont own the land for around 500k-750k
 
I found a neat house while poking around this week.
 
11:44 PM
But... I live in a really nice neighborhood
 
It's a converted church.
 
sounds cold and moldy
 
Like.. lofty ceiling church?
Cause that would be rather Epic.. i would HAVE to make it into the bedroom
(That altar looks like a bed, that bed looks like an altar) I would have to have that altarbed from dr who! :D
 
@James 16' ceilings.
 
I don't understand browser security sometimes
 
11:46 PM
 
@badp whomp whomp whoooomp
 
you get the sternest warning for SHA-1
but
open any http website
 
@badp You're thinking of stone churches. Most of ours are made of wood.
 
that doesn't even have that weak signature
and suddenly everything is fine and dandy
 
Well, it's different if there's no expectation of privacy versus the chance that the privacy that's expected has been undermined by a third party
 
11:50 PM
@Frank Not bad at all.. the little guest house I am in has lofted ceilings, not that high, but nice enough
Gives an open airy feeling
 
 
Though I suspect the practicality of an attack on SHA-1 for this purpose is still not terribly useful
 
@James Yeah, it does. That said, the realtor is trying to entice a bidding war, and I'm massively allergic to that.
 
this very page is presented to be just as secure as http
but 9292.nl is much less safe than the one with the huge warning page interstitial thing
 
@Frank Ah, yeah.. those are annoying.... They only benefit the realtor unless you are really heart-set on something.
 
11:53 PM
the login warning on an http page is less stern
 
But honestly if you are that heart set on it I hope its because you are going to renovate the thing to your liking and just really like like.. a tree or something on the property.. or the lake its near or.. something that makes the location more important than someone else's former house.
 
@James I'm in no rush at all to get another house.
I'll get one, eventually. But I will walk away unless I think it's a good deal.
 
Good spot to be in when house hunting :)
