and that's the only declined flag there
so. um. yeah. sorry.
@badp It's cool. I get to blame you, and that's worth something.
what's this? @badp apologising?
what's this? @badp admitting he's WRONG?
@kalina it's rare that I fuck up but it happens!
@kalina There must be some mistake
screenshot taken
19:01
@kalina savour the moment
I will do once I finish this poutine
I don't have the ability to savour two moments at once
@kalina ewrgh
I remember that day that badp fucked up!
yeah... tastes like... gravy
ok the poutine is over

in other news iOS7 bluescreens
wow
they could have at least made it some colour other than blue, to avoid that comparison
19:06
I'm sure they will try to argue it's not 'blue' it's 'aqua' or something stupid.
"you're holding it wrong"
"this error only occurs when the user tries to use the device"
"stop using the device"
"do you have AppleCare?"
@kalina Yea you'd think that'd be a no brainer considering how much they try to distance themselves from windows
@MichaelDunfield Umm, no, apple will do a lit of stupid things, but this is not one of them.
@badp I don't care for Apple, no
my AppleCare is 0
19:08
@kalina "this isn't covered by warranty."
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah I was kidding.
@OrigamiRobot mac screens go blue on certain crashes as well. iirc, it has something to do with the way screens are programmed.
Apples excuses are so silly
isn't blue the actual default colour that you get just by powering certain screens with no signal?
@kalina Yes, exactly.
all three of my monitors go blue with no signal

Q: Are Mystery Gifts bound to a single save?

SaintWackoIf I collect a mystery gift in my game, then delete that game and start a new one, will I be able to collect that mystery gift in my new game, or is it lost forever?

Blue probably requires the least amount of power.
so it's not actually "blue screening"
@OrigamiRobot less than black? unlikely
the phone is crapping itself but the screen is still powered
@badp You'd be surprised.
19:10
@badp "black" is not immediately obvious the screen is powered at all though
@kalina well it is a blue screen. I suppose that a powered screen with no input has nothing to do but keep showing the current picture
would be horrible for testing purposes
I'm not going to bother looking it up, but based on how LCD screens work, making black might actually require more power than other colors.
@MichaelDunfield oh god stop linking porn!
:P
well it's not actually, but I imagine some people would get turned on by movie editing
@OrigamiRobot the lowest power color is actually white
@badp white would be highest i'd imagine
every bulb lit to max etc.
@LessPop_MoreFizz apparently LCDs work through color subtraction rather than addition
so you have a white backlight that sinks most of your phone's battery life, then pixel that darken it as needed
white = no darkening = no additional power
See? I was right. Go me!
@OrigamiRobot well your original claim was that blue was the lowest power color - which is incorrect!
it might be the lowest power non-white primary color, but that seems silly.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I suppose it makes more sense than red or green though for western tastes at least
@badp Black is probably the most power intensive
@badp not if part of the objective is to demonstrate that the entire display functions
@badp yeah, red and green also have other connotations, which is an issue
so yeah, apple is doomed to bluescreen. woohoo!
@LessPop_MoreFizz ??

Yayy it rained!
I'm off work tomorrow!
What?
What does rain have to do with that?
19:31
@SaintWacko I work at a granary. Farmers can't farm in the rain.
@Fluttershy Ah, yeah
Confirmed: Pokeymans is for children.
@fredley check if referer ends with a ? and set cache to 0, not that difficult =p

Q: Unable to save CustomKeys.txt for WarCraft using WarKeys

amadibI'm trying to configure custom keys through WarKeys, the WarCraft 3/DOTA Custom Keyboard shortcut mapping tool and getting an error when I try to export my mappings. I went through and modified the defaults and then selected "Save to CustomKeys.txt" and get the error message below. Now I have War...

Q: Not enough memory, never received Revelation

Scott OdleWhen I accepted the mission from ARC, I forgot to check my disk space - since I didn't have 4Gq of memory available, the copy of Revelation included with the email didn't download. Is there a way to get the file again now that I've cleared up my memory? Thanks

@KevinvanderVelden Yeah, worked it out. Clever trick.
@KevinvanderVelden How does the link location change though?

Q: How do I connect my copy GTA Chinatown Wars with Rockstar Social Club?

Django ReinhardtI've tried and tried, and now I just get the following screen: (Note the lack of a "Friend Code", even though it was entered.) The game itself says my stats have been synced fine. It's been months now :(

Oh I see now, very clever
Now I want to make one
user58869
@MichaelDunfield thanks
20:13
@fredley I used to do something similar with a rotating forum signature image
@axrwkr For?
@MichaelDunfield That's really cool
@SaintWacko Just like everything else I link
I wish I still had all of my old forum sigs
user58869
@MichaelDunfield posting a link to that video, I like that.
20:17
@kalina I'm building it now. It's going to be epic.
@kalina It's going to have ponies and everything
@fredley And blackjack and hookers?
@fredley and a tardis?
@SaintWacko ok
@KevinvanderVelden ok
@fredley jeah =D

20:21
@SaintWacko RIP SpEn
um...
@badp Hm?
> Stabbing skill and Traps skill have both been removed, with stabbing effectiveness now based on the average of weapon and stealth skills, and trap detection based on experience level.
@badp Oh, yeah, that's old
Oh, wait, I guess it's new if you just play release
I play trunk
20:27
@SaintWacko 0.13 was published yesterday :P
@SaintWacko I only noticed from the blog post with the changelog
@badp Yeah, but that stuff has been present in Trunk for quite a while
Alright :P
Get Lucky done in Mario Paint
@RedRiderX Wow
that's incredible
@SaintWacko At 2:30 it just gets crazy.
user58869
@RedRiderX what is that?
20:31
is a video game created by Nintendo for use with the Super Famicom/SNES, and was released along with the Super Famicom/SNES Mouse peripheral device. The game's package was a larger than normal size in order to accommodate a plastic mouse pad which was included along with the SNES mouse. Gameplay Aside from being a basic drawing utility, Mario Paint allowed the user to make custom stamps pixel-by-pixel. Several publications, such as Nintendo Power, released how-to guides on how to create iconic Nintendo related stamps for use within Mario Paint. Besides just creating static pictures, a...
user58869
amazing
@axrwkr A SNES "activity center" game.
@RedRiderX To be honest, that "meow" fits with the actual quite well
@SaintWacko I know right!
IT CRAZY
Two and half months of working on that...
It sounds really good, too
user58869
20:35
I always wanted to get a snes... but they were too expensive so my mum wouldn't get one for me
user58869
Uh... how do I go back to the main site?
not sure how I got here
click the icon on the right?
@user56652 Click the logo in the bottom-right.
oh ok
20:41
you're still welcome to come and chat anyway ^^
@axrwkr Yeah, Mario Paint Composer seems to have garnered some affinity with the classic game crowd.
You can do some crazy stuff with it if you have the patience.
Woah.

Q: Is “Prince of Persia: Sands of Time” (for PC) available on DVD?

SynetechI finally got a copy of Prince of Persia: Sands of Time for PC. I was looking forward to it because I already have the other two games in the “Sands trilogy”. Unfortunately, the first game doesn’t seem to fit in with the other two (or Forgotten Sands if you count that). The copy of Sands of Time...

@axrwkr This girl is hot
Can't get the video to play more than a few seconds so I can't comment on her playing.

What is Reddit? I suggest checking out 2:14 and 3:35 in particular.
is the best video in the playlist so far
@Blem Oh right I did post the whole playlist didn't I? >.>
yea
would have watched it anyway, just hadn't seen they had posted the september video
korn sounds like brain haemorrhaging to me

Q: Can I use Ubuntu VDI to run GPU intensive Windows video games?

txgregoryI have a bunch of kids (5), and a bunch of laptops (total of 7 including mom & dads). My video games (Civ V, Xcom) run pretty slow on our laptops (AMD A quad core, 8GB RAM, 512 MB onboard ATI 512 Mb video, $350 cheap laptops) connected via wireless lan to fios.

A: Annoying glitch that won't let me finish the "Discerning the Transmundane" quest

nerpfuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you skyrim is for dweebs

@fredley which seemingly makes your profile take ages to load
it is broken
21:06
@kalina That's my server screaming
At the horrible things I have made PHP do
?frame=2 doesn't work
@kalina Bums
results in loads of image placeholders
Yeah, I bork it
most of them dont work
21:07
I know right, why do I always come along and point out how broken your toys are
@kalina My toys are excellent
And you enjoy playing with them
@fredley my toys are better
@Blem 10/10 would read/view again
whatever it was
right
21:09
@Blem Is that a 0x0 image?
1x1 pixel image
Game seems to be working now, for me at least
@fredley you should know, it is your picture
Maybe all youse hitting it at once is causing the server to bork
@Blem Oh
quick everybody
spam @fredley's profile
BRING HIS SERVER TO IT'S KNEES
21:09
If you brought upon even the mildest bot attack against that page my server would halt
@fredley Nop. Still broked.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Hum
ooo ponies
Is it wrong of me laughing at this video @RedRiderX?
Confirmed: CPU usage 100%. Game coming offline now :-P
21:12
VICTORY
CPU usage: 0%
Wow, PHP sucks balls
I was so good at that game
closes all 21 tabs of @fredley
@badp Part of why I posted it. :P
Crap, I am not on my MeatStare computer
@Blem Perhaps yes.
21:13
bah, now for hot chocolate to ease the pain
@RedRiderX well the bait seems to have failed :P
Coca Cola are so inconsiderate
I feel like I need to travel to their head office and burn it down
my bottle of coke says "Share a coke with Natalie" on it
it's like they're trolling me

that flying bunny thing was shocking
@Blem Yeah that might be the best one.

@NOPE why bother even linking the ones that are closed?
@kalina Because NOPE is a dumb bot and cannot replace the excellent careful curation of A51 bad proposals that I provide.
I'M NOT BITTER OR ANYTHING
@LessPop_MoreFizz to be fair these are normally linked by @NOPE first, so you're just a copycat
hides
@Blem Haha also a good one!
@kalina I was linking bad A51 proposals for a very very long time before NOPE existed

Q: Where do Badass Marauders spawn on Pandora?

cst003In Borderlands 2, I'm having a hard time tracking down which area Badass Marauders are local to on Pandora. I'm assuming they have the same spawn points as regular Marauders, but I'm still having a problem tracking them down.

A: "Disconnected by Server: BadPaddingException"

John BushOk. I have E-Mailed Minecraft and what is means is: BadPaddingException usually means the wrong key is used to decrypt the data. It is an error for minecraft to fix, so what you should do is report a bug to minecraft and they should fix it in later versions.

I'm not sure I see what's wrong with this answer
@Blem mind... blown
@badp "Go somewhere else" should be a comment, surely?
It doesn't actually resolve the problem
@kalina That's not what it says?
nor really attempt to answer the question
It explains what the error is and what you can do about it: nothing.
21:25
@badp "go report a bug" is "go somewhere else"
@badp Note that this is users second answer to the question
@Blem NO IT DOES NOT
@LessPop_MoreFizz third!
ahem
@kalina I hadn't even seen the deleted because I didn't scroll down
figured that so I pointed it out!
21:27
but... I still don't see the problem. There's nothing wrong with answering a question multiple times, and I'm not sure why I'd want to delete a -1 answer because it should be merged into the -4 answer?
(well it was -1 before I upvoted it)

Q: Does the amplified terrain setting modify ore generation?

fredleyIf I create a world with the 'amplified' terrain setting, is ore generation affected? Will ores spawn higher than normal, or will I still have to find them at the same levels? Is their distribution changed? I'm guessing there will be an effect due to the lack of stone to generate in, but it would...

@badp ok let's compromise, if I edit the content of answer #2 into answer #1, will you be happier in removing the second answer?
@Lazers Quick lazers!
I mean, his -4 answer was probably downvoted for being a dupe of Fda's answer anyway
so I can hardly blame him for adding a different approach in a new answer!
bottom line: please do NOT downvote answers for coming later. This isn't a race. That -4 answer of his isn't shitty.
also, the internet failed me for not having istheusstillshutdown.com being a thing that exists
21:40
@badp The answer is yes
> The US government has experienced 18 shutdowns in the past 30 years
America is a messed up place
@kalina True dat.
nice try
With any luck it will take long enough for them to make a decision on your budget that they cause permanent economic damage
21:41
@MichaelDunfield If only the people who ran that site actually added that in.
That'd be hilarious.
@kalina How would that be a good thing?
@kalina Meh, most of them have been for a day or two because of negotiating quirks. the length of this one and the intractability of it is a big deal.
since that will have a knock on effect with the rest of the world, and we can label it economic terrorism and start nuking you
@kalina permanent economic damage is less likely to come from the shutdown and more from failure to raise the debt ceiling in a week.
"Our political leader is a terrorist and a terrible person"
Said no Canadian ever.
21:42
And that will mainly piss off the chinese.
Can I move to Canada now?
@LessPop_MoreFizz you're not a government worker are you?
@MichaelDunfield Isn't your parliament prorogued, and hasn't it been for months?
@kalina Nope, but I have been.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Beats me. Nothing that happens here really means anything though.
We just call a lot of elections.
@LessPop_MoreFizz ok good, I just didn't want to come across as not giving a damn about America being a retarded country while you were at home unpaid
private sector ftw
21:43
@kalina I am. Local government though, so not affected.
@kalina My mother is though.
@LessPop_MoreFizz ;/
@LessPop_MoreFizz Federal? That sucks.
how the hell can America have ~17 trillion dollars of debt
and I wonder how much of that was caused by sticking your nose in where it wasn't needed/wanted
@kalina Ronald Reagan.
21:45
@kalina It's called being Japan's and S. Korea's army.
@MichaelDunfield Yeah, not sending that link to my mother.
it looks like the bulk of it was during the afganistan/iraq wars to me
@LessPop_MoreFizz lolololol
21:46
@kalina That's more the result of dramatic reductions in revenue from bush tax cuts
and continued interest on the reagan debt, rather than paying it down.
I don't really know anything about the Canadian government
@kalina Notice that flat part in the middle? Bill Clinton, right?
@MichaelDunfield Obviously. If you did, you'd know you're probably the last country on earth that gets to laugh at us about this.
@Yuki 96-2003 or so?
21:47
Other than maybe belgium.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I can laugh at you for whatever I want.
@kalina 1992-2000
well that's got a bit of stepping in it, I was looking at the straight line
but ok
Canadians re-elected someone who got kicked out of office on a vote of no confidence. We lost our right to laugh at the US political system when that happened.
@kalina the flat line is the debt ceiling, it's not the same as the debt
@Wipqozn Also, your parliament is still prorogued
21:49
@LessPop_MoreFizz it's still not flat.
Why do they want to allow themselves to have more debt?
Why don't they start paying off the debt?
@MichaelDunfield because that isn't how macroeconomics works.
@MichaelDunfield Because you need to run a surplus before you can start paying off debt.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Well that's dumb.
deficits are good. debt is good.
21:50
@MichaelDunfield because they've proven themselves to be irresponsible at making decisions that have worldwide implications?
@MichaelDunfield No, you are dumb. take a macroeconomics class.
Stop buying shit
and start paying it off
@LessPop_MoreFizz No. =[

Q: Change mini-map to North up?

SomeGuyIn Need for Speed Most wanted (2012 edition), is there a way to make the mini-map stay with a fixed north position so I know which way I'm going without having to pause and look at the pause screen map?

Basically you should have as much debt as you can pay the interests for, no more, no less
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm guessing a reasonable part of the sudden spike is bailing out banks, right?
21:52
...if you're a business
@kalina nah
not sure if that makes sense for a government as well
@kalina the bank bailouts were mostly net profitable.
How the hell do you even get 18 trillion dollars in debt
@kalina the spikes really are mostly tax cuts
21:52
What the hell do you spend that on
strippers?
@MichaelDunfield lasers.
Personal debt =/= business/government debt, so people should stop thinking about "we should run our government like we run our house".
2
@LessPop_MoreFizz Real ones?
because they have basically tripled the debt in a decade
also, old people.
21:53
@MichaelDunfield most of it is actually... public healthcare
@badp public healthcare? In America?
@badp hahahahahahahahahahahahaha public healthcare. america.
you are too European
only we have those kind of things
well, that's what medic{aid,care} is right?
private health care funded with public money for the old and the poor
@badp yeah but that's not actually something that works yet
afaik
21:54
@badp yes, but medicaid is only for the most shockingly terrifyingly poor people and pretty cheap
@LessPop_MoreFizz Do... do you guys not have that?
Actually I don't know how healthcare works in Canada either.
obamacare!
@kalina medicaid and medicare work great.
and medicare is only for old people and is actually one of the Big Three drivers of government spending.
kill all old people
@LessPop_MoreFizz Children of the Corn
21:55
we have public health care only for the people who are most expensive to care for basically
enforced euthanasia once you get to 45
oh, sorry @Sterno
I mean 55
and part of the big spike in mid 2000's was a big expansion of medicare benfits to add prescription drug coverage
you know the actual solution to debt problems right?
legalise marijuana, full scale government production with taxes
@kalina military cuts.
also military cuts
21:56
kickstarter for WW3
2
@kalina this would be a literal drop in the bucket i'm afraid
stop randomly appearing in countries you're not welcome in telling them how to run their shit just because they've got oil under them
@LessPop_MoreFizz how much does America claim on taxes from selling tobacco per year?
because you'll basically take that number and increase it by 50-80%
tobacco sales in the UK basically fund the NHS
which is hilarious
because non-smokers use arguments like "well if everybody stopped smoking, there would be less NHS expenditure"
Apparently americans spend more tax on healthcare than any other country.
but, if everybody stopped smoking, there would be no funding for the NHS
@kalina Do you smoke?
21:59
nope
@kalina ~7 billion
well, marijuana
