They're the old style of decoration, you can place them as decorations

(escape -> equipment -> landing craft -> place decorations)

Q: LAN server lag inconsistent

I was playing on a Minecraft LAN server, hosted by me, with one friend. It was modded, so we couldn't play without lag unless we had very good computers, which we didn't. My question is how I could have huge lag spikes on the host computer with the joined computer remaining as it was (until it w...

Maximillian

Oh man. John Prodman has a decoration drop. I do not want to play The Index for an hour though.

Ok, I've got it, just need to plug in my security key. Hmm, which way does the USB go? Nope, not that way. I'll just flip it andâ OH JEEZ IT FELL INTO THE VENT.

The alt-text for #875 (posted in 2011) is terrifyingly prescient.

You know, I'm looking at this ayatan sah sculpture and that'd be doable as a 3d print

Ave

you have a 3d printer?

Kevin van der Velden

Yes

(also actually as several 3d prints combined of course but details)

Ave

neat

9:39 PM

@Yuuki XKCD is not only relevant in the present but in the future too

Yuuki

BlazBlue x Persona x RWBY fighting game?

huh

Memor-X

@Yuuki looking forward to it myself

though from what i have seen it's Persona 4 characters so no Aigis or Katone or even the Shadow Operatives

Yuuki

@Memor-X You could always play Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

Memor-X

@Yuuki have that but i plan to play it after the previous 2 games.....which is going to be a problem because along with ~20 volumes of manga/light novels and 3 Omnibusses of xxxHolic my Wii U is missing (which i suspect is with the manga)

Yuuki

@Memor-X Never mind, you need to play the game to get the joke.

Memor-X

9:52 PM

@Yuuki oh it was a joke. i though you were serious

Yuuki

@Memor-X Well, I'm serious in that you could always play Xenoblade Chronicles 2, but the joke is that the main character is the Driver of the Aegis.

Not really spoilers as it's the premise of the game.

Memor-X

@Yuuki is the main character a girl?

Yuuki

@Memor-X No-ish?

Like, the point of view character is a guy.

Memor-X

@Yuuki i'm talking about this pilot

Yuuki

Pilot?

Memor-X

9:55 PM

> the main character is the Driver of the Aegis.

unless driver != pilot

Yuuki

Okay, that's a game term.

In XC2, there are sentient/sapient weapons called Blades.

Blades are attuned to certain people and these people are called Drivers.

Once attuned, a Blade manifests both a weapon and a body.

Memor-X

@Yuuki and this driver for the Aegis is? boy or girl?

Yuuki

Rex is a boy.

Pyra, the Blade, is a girl.

Memor-X

@Yuuki wait, if the blade is called Pyre then why did you said Aegis?

Ave

so for dumb reasons I installed safari on linux and uh, discord doesn't work but chat.se does

and, just, wow.

Memor-X

10:00 PM

@Ave discord in the browser?

Ave

yeah

Yuuki

@Memor-X The Aegis is what people called a legendary Blade. Pyra's her name.

Ave

I might try and get atomic discord working.

Memor-X

@Yuuki ahhhhhh

dam. i was hoping that Kotone and Aigis were reincarnated

Yuuki

I mean, Aigis is Atlus.

XC2 was made by MonolithSoft.

Although some Persona artists did do some guest work for XC2.

@Maximillian I want this, but an hour is a long time...

@Ave SE chat works almost everywhere

I literally have yet to find a device where it doesn't

I've tried it on almost everything

Ave

that's not that hard!

~

quartata

OK, well I haven't found one where it doesn't work and I'd want it to work

but tbh I would only be slightly surprised if it worked in IE6

Ave

ah yes, that makes sense

I'm downloading 5 now

quartata

should be fun

Ave

I mean, there's NO way ie5 supports websockets

quartata

10:22 PM

It doesn't need websockets

Maximillian

@John By that point in Endurance, enemy level can be around 450.

quartata

It can do a regular HTTP poll, at which point it's just a matter of if jQuery works

John

@Maximillian Yeesh

that's pretty high

Chippies

quartata

SO used jquery v1.12 which is just before they discontinued IE6

I suspect SE chat works in 6 but probably not 5

Ave

10:26 PM

we're trying to get atomic discord working in safari atm

this is super fun

Maximillian

Atomic Discord. That sounds like something you do not want crashing.

Ave

too bad it crashes quite a lot

quartata

fallout: new discord confirmed

Ave

I blame gcp

insert sad face s.ave.zone/evs.png

quartata

bummer

hmmm wonder what it could be

I guess this officially means my 1996 O2 running a jerry-rigged version of Firefox 2 is better than a Windows machine running IE6

Okay so getting a tattoo is COMPLICATED

Don't even know where to start

user15026

@Chippies oooooh colours are starting!

user15026

@cazc_941 It can be yes

cazc_941

I am pretty sure I want a decent size one too

user15026

That's going to cost a decent amount of money so be ready for that :)

cazc_941

like that size, and placement

@Ash Yeah, I know. I'm gonna start budgeting better

Where do you even go to get a design

And how many sessions does it take, cause I'm prtty sure the artist I want to do it is in Toronto

ToxicFrog

10:44 PM

tattoos \o/

user15026

@cazc_941 Usually to whoever you're going to get it done from

user15026

As for how many sessions, it depends on the size - mine have all been small so they were like an hourish of sitting

user15026

Whoever you do a consult with will let you know expected length and cost and all that before you start, if you go to someone decent

I think I want this guy. I haven't really liked any of the artists I've found in ottawa (online)

Yuuki

You should get a tattoo of your tattoo artist giving you your tattoo.

My last hairdresser recommended me a studio downtown but the online reviews are really really bad... said that if you're new they kinda rush through it

@cazc_941 So start with emailing them, see if they have openings and would be willing to do the sort of thing you want to do, etc. :)

Alice's follow-up ultrasound has shown that the cancer is back. She is starting her second course of chemotherapy right now. I...I can't. I'm sorry. It took half an hour for me to stop screaming uncontrollably and provide this update.

Well, fuck. (Alice is one of her cats.)

user15026

(ALSO @ToxicFrog I JUST REALIZED THE SIGNIFICANCE OF HER CATS' NAMES)

user15026

I am a dork for not realizing that earlier

Frank

11:41 PM

Ember is cooking!

ToxicFrog

@Ash oh no :(

John

@Frank Underrated tbh

Frank

@John Extractors aren't worth much?

John

I mean people don't value them as highly as I think they should

Frank

@John Ah. 'Cuz I see automated resource gathering as high on my nice to have list.

John

11:44 PM

@Frank Yeah, some people don't think it's automated enough to bother with

ToxicFrog

@Ash re the names, it's a lot more obvious if you look at her about-the-cats page: seananmcguire.com/thecats.php

John

You should consider getting the app if you haven't already

extractors are one of the things it lets you manage

Frank

@John Well, you do have to pick them up, and let them cool down afterwards, but I see the cooldown as just requiring more extractors.

John

@Frank exactly

Frank

Oh, joy. 100k to make my incubator power core. :(

Arperum

11:48 PM

@Frank Yea, I ignored that quest at that point.

Frank

@Arperum That's definitely expensive.

Arperum

Yup.

I was like "nope, fuck that nonsense for anytime soon"

Frank

I had just saved up 50k for an extractor, too.

Bleh.

Now to figure out how to farm credits faster.

Or, just progress, I guess.

Arperum

@Frank Progress runs into the credit wall too after some time. Especially on the "I need more stuff to level to get more mastery rank, but I ran out of credits. Again"

Frank

@Arperum I'm only into Jupiter, so I'm assuming I have a ways to go before that happens.

Arperum

11:58 PM

I'm leveling my second frame now.

user15026

@ToxicFrog I never knew this page existed holy crap

Arperum

Once I level that plus the items I have I'll be mastery rank 6

@Frank I'm finishing a quest to get away from Jupiter to Uranus or Neptune (whichever one it is)
