The Bridge

Frank

7:00 PM

@Arperum Just make sure to play it!

Arperum

@Frank Oh I will.

Anyone who has interest in a free version of Civ IV? Or Monday Night Combat?

ElfSlice

Yuki

@Arperum Isn't Super Monday Night Combat F2P?

Powerlord

@Yuki Monday Night Combat and Super Monday Night Combat are different games

Arperum

@Yuki I have not the slightest idea. I have that in my steam inventory for years now.

Powerlord

7:04 PM

One was pretty good, the other is terrible. Of course, the good one is the one they killed.

Yuki

@Powerlord I know, but most people tend to ignore the first one when the sequel is out.

Powerlord

brb, quick meeting

Arperum

@Yuki It's the one without "Super", it costs 4.5€ in the steamstore it seems.

Meraj99

i dont think i can survive at my cousin's house (speedtest.net/my-result/3171429321)

ElfSlice

7:09 PM

@Meraj99 That's better than mine

Frank

@Meraj99 Welcome to barely above dial up speeds.

Before your time, that WAS the internet.

Kevin van der Velden

@Meraj99 poor you (speedtest.net/my-result/3171432459)

Meraj99

@KevinvanderVelden XD my normal connection has 8mb download >..

Arperum

@Meraj99 Do you have any idea how happy I was when I got to that speed? Now I'm at ~30 times that, but still.

Kevin van der Velden

@Meraj99 dutch internet is pretty good :) No download limits either

Meraj99

7:13 PM

btw, he was saying something about The Division... looks epic

im terrible at formatting :(

Kevin van der Velden

@Meraj99 [] then (), no spaces

RedRiderX

@Meraj99 Got those backwards, that's all.

ElfSlice

SaintWacko

@Meraj99 Wow, that looks cool

Meraj99

why do devs put age-checks anyway... in today's world, nobody is stupid enough to not put a fake age...

whats the point?

Kevin van der Velden

7:15 PM

@Meraj99 liabillity

3ventic

@Meraj99 probably required by law

Kevin van der Velden

They're not allowed to show it to minors so this way they can say they "Acted in good faith"

Frank

@Meraj99 Look up COPPA

The government has decided that websites can NOT store information about those under the age of 13.

Yuki

My avatar really doesn't lend itself to putting on hats...

Powerlord

My avatar is already wearing a hat.

and said hat has a signing peace sign.

ElfSlice

7:17 PM

Mine is also already wearing a hat.

Meraj99

@Frank well, kinda explains it...

Powerlord

and my mask spits out green confetti.

It's magic, you see!

Kevin van der Velden

The avatar of someone in the gamedev chat is literally just a top hat.

ElfSlice

@Frank Which government?

Kevin van der Velden

He should put the three hats hat on it for maximum hat-ines

Powerlord

7:18 PM

@ElfSlice ....the US government forbids that, not sure about other countries

Frank

@Meraj99 And the simplest way to ensure they don't, is to go, "You must be 13 to use this site."

Powerlord

Children's Online Privacy Protection Act

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA) is a United States federal law, located at (). The act, effective April 21, 2000, applies to the online collection of personal information by persons or entities under U.S. jurisdiction from children under 13 years of age. It details what a website operator must include in a privacy policy, when and how to seek verifiable consent from a parent or guardian, and what responsibilities an operator has to protect children's privacy and safety online including restrictions on the marketing to those under 13. While children under 13...

It's been illegal for 13 years in the US.

ElfSlice

Somebody ask @Frank what he thinks of Dungeon of the Endless.

Powerlord

(because it took effect in 2000)

Oracle: I wish you didn't treat NULL and "" the same.

Kevin van der Velden

@Powerlord mysql is even worse in that aspect IIRC

Yuki

7:21 PM

All right, changed it. Should refresh in about two minutes, I guess.

Meraj99

another good one (according to my cousin) is Titanfall

but thats a xbox exclusive

Kevin van der Velden

@Meraj99 for certain definitions of exclusive, it should be coming to PC

kalina

Spiteful dick has down voted me just before reset

Yuki

Hmm... my hat did not come with me.

Kevin van der Velden

Heh jeah, you can preorder it even

3ventic

7:22 PM

@Meraj99 pc too

Powerlord

For that matter, why is Java not unboxing this Long for me?

kalina

Now I won't get the hat

Kevin van der Velden

@3ventic slow ventic is slow

@Powerlord cause it is java, it's ways are unpredictable and mysterious

3ventic

Playing DayZ-ventic is slow

Yuki

How I chat hatz?

Meraj99

7:23 PM

@3ventic :D, but my pc is crap so, :(

boo

I've made progress with my hat quest, but I've hit another roadblock

Kevin van der Velden

@Meraj99 well so is the xbone so there's that.

Powerlord

Oh, no wait, I have the if and else backwards for one of the two PR checks

SaintWacko

@Powerlord PEBKAC

RedRiderX

@Yuki Very nice!

Yuki

7:25 PM

@RedRiderX Oh, do you not see your own hat? Because it isn't displaying on mine.

OrigamiRobot

@3ventic WAT

WAT

RedRiderX

@Yuki Try hard refreshing and then clicking on your avatar.

OrigamiRobot

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

Yuki

@RedRiderX Ah, there we go.

So cute.

3ventic

@OrigamiRobot a friend gave me DayZ standalone on steam

Yuki

7:26 PM

This is the original picture:

boo

What encryption algo outputs a load of MD5 hashes?

FEichinger

@boo By definition, none.

boo

@FEichinger Yeah, stupid

Fine then, what algo outputs 32 bytes hexadecimal numbers? :-P

FEichinger

@boo Quite a lot.

Powerlord

@boo MD5

OrigamiRobot

7:27 PM

@3ventic HAVE YOU PLAYED IT?

Yuki

@FEichinger Shots fired!

boo

@FEichinger Maybe the tool I'm using isn't doing Blowfish correctly

FEichinger

Including MD5, yes.

boo

It should be Blowfish

But I'm not getting decent output

3ventic

@OrigamiRobot Yes, it's dark

Large "screenshot"

Yuki

7:29 PM

@3ventic You... might wanna change some settings.

kalina

That's starting to annoy me

SaintWacko

@Yuki Yeah...

kalina

Might get the mods involved early and get this idiot banned

Yuki

@kalina ?

kalina

Probably the same person trolling chat with flags

OrigamiRobot

7:30 PM

@3ventic IS IT NIGHT?

3ventic

I'm in a block of flats and there's NOTHING inside. No zombies, no lights, no items

kalina

The person who keeps waiting until the end of the day to down vote me @yuki

3ventic

no doors, NO STAIRS, fridges are locked

Early access FTW

Yuki

@3ventic Who locks their fridge?

FEichinger

Read that as "who licks their fridge".

3ventic

7:32 PM

I have no idea

OrigamiRobot

NOW I RETURN TO EXILE

Yuki

I do not know a single person who actually has a lock on their fridge.

tugs

@Yuki My church does

I quit doing coffee duty because of it

boo

Yesssss decrypted

Yuki

@tugs Well, I guess it makes sense for a non-residential area, but I thought @3ventic was talking about a house.

boo

7:34 PM

Soon hatses will be mineee

3ventic

I walked through a railing and fell to my death as a result

tugs

@3ventic They should have had a lock there

FAE

@KevinvanderVelden I love the internet here.

ElfSlice

@BenBrocka I just realized my Paranautical activity keys are for Desura

You still want one?

boo

Stuck again :(

I hate hats

tugs

7:43 PM

@boo You can click the snowflake icon and choose that

boo

@tugs I don't hate them that much

Just the ones that are hard to obtain

I am stuck with cryptic clues

and nobody trustworthy enough to share them with

tugs

oh

Kevin van der Velden

@boo share them with OrigamiRobot! He'll instantly ignore you

boo

@KevinvanderVelden @OrigamiRobot already has me on ignore afaik

Something to do with endlessly bugging him or something. Right @OrigamiRobot?

Kevin van der Velden

@boo smart move, no links to friday make chat a better place

boo

7:47 PM

Meta knowledge: Was @Emracool formerly known as @Emrakul? This is important.

Yuki

@boo Uhh... are we talking about Fallen London?

boo

@Yuki Nope

Hat-quest 2013

Kevin van der Velden

@Yuki we are talking about the very foundations of this universe! HATS!

Yuki

Oh.

Wait, how did I get this hat?

Wipqozn

Soca, a river in Slovenia

boo

7:50 PM

GOD DAMN CRYPTIC CLUES RARGH!

Every time I'm like 'Oh this is a neat idea, this could work' - NOPE

Ben Brocka

@ElfSlice That's fine

Yuki

@boo Wait, I'm not trustworthy?

Eh, fair enough, I guess.

boo

@Yuki You would steal a hat I've done most of the work for

Yuki

@boo I have a grand total of seven hats. I'm not particularly in a rush for them.

Arperum

@Wipqozn I've been there multiple times in the summer.

boo

7:52 PM

Fuck it, I need to eat

Yuki

@kalina has > three times the number of hats I do.

FEichinger

@BenBrocka awesome

@kalina ?

8:04 PM

@ElfSlice If anyone gets Hero Academy, I'll school them for awhile...

ElfSlice

I really want this one. Mostly for Anomaly 2, but also because I might actually play Gemini Rue on a tablet. It seemed like a nice game. Also AAAaaaaAAAAaaa would be a sweet tablet game too.

I shouldn't buy it.

SaintWacko

You said the name wrong

I bought it

@SaintWacko tough

@ElfSlice :P

8:05 PM

@3ventic Yeah this bundle is wesome

3ventic

What are the good games in it?

ElfSlice

@3ventic Pixeljunk Monsters, Dungeon of Elements, Prime World Defenders

3ventic

@ElfSlice Fester Mudd and Prime World have mixed up

ElfSlice

@3ventic Yeah, heh.

That's not the first time they've done that actually

sloppy presentation

Fester Mudd looks pretty cool too

3ventic

Anyone want Little Inferno?

on Steam

ElfSlice

8:09 PM

@3ventic You don't want it?

3ventic

Already have it

ElfSlice

I'd take it.

5 hours ago, by ElfSlice

@3ventic I can give you anything from those if you like ^

Except for Paranautical and Hack Slash Loot

Yuki

@ElfSlice I think I might be able to distinguish the Desura key for Hack Slash Loot if I try.

SaintWacko

@Yuki Not worth the effort

That game is awful

ElfSlice

@SaintWacko It's not awful, but it's not very good, yeah.

I had fun with it for a few plays

then meh

Yuki

8:11 PM

I think I could get Paranautical Activity too.

3ventic

Should I just give you the link here?

SaintWacko

I started it and it seemed alright, and then I started running into "what do you mean I can't do that? Or that? Or that. What the hell kind of roguelike is this? I can't do anything!"

ElfSlice

@3ventic Sure

I'm quick

@3ventic Thanks! :D

$3.66 for Anomaly 2 is just criminal

3ventic

2.6€

yeah, kind of

Yuki

Isn't Intersection(A,B) a subset of Union(A, B)?

ElfSlice

@3ventic ...Now I feel dumb. Apparently I already owned Little Inferno.

Take two of my games lol

3ventic

Bah, no matter

I bought the bundle to get some more android games + anomaly 2 anyway

ElfSlice

@3ventic Oh yeah, android. Little Inferno is Android as well, right?

In that case, still happy, I'd probably rather play it on my tablet

3ventic

8:16 PM

Oh anomaly 2 is on android too

ElfSlice

Yeah

I really liked Anomaly: Korea on android

haven't actually played much of the first Anomaly game despite owning it

haven't felt like playing anything lately

3ventic

My android library is starting to look good

ElfSlice

Nice!

Q: How many squad points do you need you unlock everything in COD: Ghosts?

There are a lot of equipment/perks/slots you can unlock with squad points in COD: Ghosts. Some of the perks will automatically unlock by ranking up normally without spending any squad points. At what point you can actually unlock everything and how many squad points and/or ranks would you need?

We should rename @Lazers to @ServBot

Yuki

@ElfSlice Wait, I need to run a sanity test. You're suggesting that we rename @Lazers?

ElfSlice

ServBot ^

Trent Hawkins

@ElfSlice no. @Lasers does not need his hitler rank increased.

ElfSlice

8:27 PM

Lazers is a stupid name

SaintWacko

@ElfSlice Aren't you? I mean, you do post a lot of gaming sales ads and whatnot...

@Yuki So? You talk about games too.

@ElfSlice I'm not the one whose status has been in question.

Sometimes I wonder if @Gnomeslice is a cleverly-programmed advertising bot.

Ullallulloo

@Ullallulloo That's quite the star to letter ratio.

@John's got it beat I guess.

Powerlord

Yay hour-long impromptu meetings

Yuki

@Ullallulloo I dunno, does "Mana" add to letters?

Then again, if it does, then "ElfSlice" should count for @Ullallulloo's message.
