@StrixVaria have you been writing?

@spugsley There are 2 more chapters you haven't read yet in the doc :)

@StrixVaria :DDDDDDDDDD

How about you?

Reading nowwwwwwwww

Instead I'm trying to tow this thing around with the SPS.

It's not going well.

12:26 AM

@StrixVaria no. I had another crisis/meltdown so yeah. That usually keeps me from writing

:(

RedRiderX

It seems like the 2DS won't feel horrible to hold after all.

...I just noticed that @FAE's Aftershock character has a last name of Squirrel.

How did I miss that up until now.

@fbueckert Hahaha what

I shit you not!

12:29 AM

@fbueckert That is because she is awesome!

@fbueckert I did not remember that at all.

@FAE Neither did I!

I don't think I even noticed up until now.

@spugsley Feel better soon.

@FAE :) thanks. It's just the way of my crazy anxious brain

@spugsley Yeah, I hear ya.

12:33 AM

@AshleyNunn So, do you watch Danganronpa?

user15026

@Powerlord I don't, should I?

@AshleyNunn You might like it.

user15026

adds it to her ever growing list of things to acquire and watch

@AshleyNunn It's only 13 episodes and the dubs can be watched on Funimation's site.

user15026

@Powerlord Wooooot

12:35 AM

Note that the last 3 episode haven't aired yet.

Danganronpa episodes

It's like a cross between 999 and Phoenix Wright, with a psychotic bear named Monokuma running the show

Sterno

@StrixVaria +1 the comment that curb-stomping downvoted answers is unneeded

user15026

@Powerlord Interesting.....

psychotic stuffed bear, that is

There's a game too (and someone produced an English patch for it), but the game moves veeeery slowly.

and now that I've seen 9 episodes of the series, it's spoilers for the Phoenix Wright sections of the game.

user15026

I see

user15026

I am rewatching Babylon 5 right now, but when I am done that I will look it up perhaps :)

12:41 AM

How do I inline an image?

user15026

@ToxicFrog You use the upload button beside the chat box

user15026

Unless it is something that automatically oneboxes, like a youtube video

Aah. There is no upload button.

cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/594762131737566265/… -- attempt #1 at deploying the unified mining stack in KSP.

If you post just the link with a ! in front of it, it should work.

@AshleyNunn Images automatically one-box...

12:45 AM

If it's a big image, will it downscale appropriately or will people with small screens be sad?

user15026

@Powerlord They do?

user15026

(Rawr keyboard)

user15026

I usually just upload by hand!

@AshleyNunn Yes... the monokuma image I posted earlier is from Tumblr (apparently... I got it from Google image search)

@AshleyNunn Aye, if they end in an image file extension

user20683

12:46 AM

@ToxicFrog it gets booted to imgur

user15026

@FAE fffffff I have been wasting my life

@AshleyNunn That's why you see some stuff 404ing when people link it, because the site in question doesn't allow hotlinking or somesuch.

user15026

@FAE OOOOOH

user15026

That makes sense

user15026

I wondered why thatt never happened to me

12:47 AM

@AshleyNunn The more you know ~~~~*

user15026

Also, I saw a Night Vale fanart where they spelled the station cat's name with Russian letters and I realized it can be the russian word for "cats"

Well, let's try

Nice!

@fbueckert Ah. That makes logical sense. I only was thinking about scout/medic since scouting tends to involve high movement speed or more distance covered per movement in turn-based games, and medics tend to need that so they can get to people need heals faster.

To be honest, I don't know what the roles are.

@Yuki General roles are fine; at the beginning, you all suck at more or less everything.

@FEichinger Sorry for changing my name then.

@fbueckert General support is what I would like to be.

12:51 AM

@Yuki As a scientist, you can't set dynamite, or repair space suits. You can handle one aspect of the support role, but the others are not available to you.

So... medic is the only support option for a Soldier/Scientist?

@Yuki @fbueckert What game is this?

UFO: Afterlight

UFO: Afterlight is a 2007 strategy computer game and the third in Altar's UFO series. Like its predecessors ' and ', it combines squad-level tactical combat with overlying strategic elements in a manner that's deliberately very much like the major 1994 classic '. Setting In Aftermath, the few human survivors of an alien attack were forced into a devil's deal to preserve their race and abandoned the Earth's surface to the invaders. In return, some of humanity was moved off-planet to orbital colonies and to a small Mars colony. Aftershock features the subsequent events on Earth a half-cent...

A: Why was this question re-closed?

@StrixVaria Afterlight?

There is an obvious failure here of basic reading comprehension. The FAQ forbids speculation about unreleased games. Just because a game hasn't been released yet doesn't mean that every question about that game can only have unknowable or speculative answers. In this case, the question already h...

12:54 AM

@fbueckert is the one playing it.

@Yuki There might be others, but I don't know of them right now.

> There is an obvious failure here of basic reading comprehension.

What a complete ass.

@StrixVaria Reply: There is an obvious failure here of basic social courtesy.

@Yuki This.

@Fluttershy Meta-humor.

Probably only funny to me.

I will make a concerted effort to be nicer to newbies and people I disagree with, but this guy doesn't deserve it.

Mission accomplished :)

Just in case you didn't see this already...

Congrats, you won the Internets!

I did see it! And it is awesome. :3

user15026

@Fluttershy You are famous :(

@SepiaLazers OLD

user20683

@Yuki Oh for fracks sake.

@SepiaLazers Sticky that one too!

"Let's be nice to each other." "NO. -1. MEAN GOOD."

Apparently, this one's going to have Dinobots.

1:05 AM

@Yuki Trans4mers.

Well, if they can do Dinobot justice (which they probably won't), then I'll be satisfied.

user20683

@Yuki you mean Maximals and Predicons?

@WorldEngineer I'm assuming. The article said "Dinobots".

@StrixVaria Did you want a character?

user20683

As far as doing him justice, step one is "Hire Scott McNeill"

user15026

1:06 AM

@Fluttershy Bad. No.

@fbueckert Oh, are you naming doomed soldiers after people on the Bridge?

@StrixVaria Indeed.

Sure! Make me a meat shield.

It's only appropriate given my gravatar.

@StrixVaria I'm a medic! I'll keep you alive.

user15026

@fbueckert Can I get a hug gun agaiiiiiin

1:09 AM

2 hours ago, by fbueckert

Ok, characters uploaded. Choose your character!

@AshleyNunn NO. NONONO. Last time you got a "hug" gun, you nearly killed me and @FAE because it was an actual gun that fired bullets.

user15026

@Fluttershy NO iT WAS A HUG GUN YOU JUST DONT KNOW HOW TO HUG

@AshleyNunn I contest this assertion!

I am quite good at hugging, thank you very much!

user15026

@FAE Well maybe he just doesnt know how to hug me :(

@fbueckert HARALD ZAMYATIN

user15026

Now I have many sads

user15026

Which one would be good with guns?

@AshleyNunn Hugging with shrapnel often doesn't go well, to be fair. <_<

user15026

@FAE Who doesn't like a bit of ouch with their hugs?

@AshleyNunn Depends on the mood one is in!

1:15 AM

@Fluttershy You can discuss the exception to the rule here if you'd like, but it's about as obvious as it gets that the question being discussed here isn't an example of that exception. There was no necessary action on the question to begin with. — Decency 3 mins ago

And this is where I drop it because it is pointless.

user15026

@FAE This is true!
