@badp That's basically how orbiting works.
Go so fast, you miss the Earth.
@badp Is that the goal?
@Frank I don't think that's what Sonac was doing
@GnomeSlice They wanted to have so many fasts, the game crashed. At 10,000 FASTS/H the ball was positively being over-rustled, but then they closed the server.
over-rustled?
20:04
@FAE Recent days are making me wonder if we should rename The Bridge to The Sick Bay. Or The Plague Pit.
shitty internet memes for shitty internet memes...
@badp wtf is this
@GnomeSlice maximum over-rustle
FOUND IT
RE sanicball, dankey kang, going fast ^
20:06
yawn Evening.
@FEichinger are you sick yet?
@spugsley Nope. Perfectly healthy ... Well, as healthy as I can be.
I had very light headache today.
@badp ...that's how it starts :o
@badp So ... the Bridge flu has reached Munich already, then?
Damn.
20:07
@FEichinger I can't afford taking a week off, so probably yes.
@GraceNote One of those never plays online people/cactuses?
@FEichinger Yep. We should definitely rename to The Sick Bay.
@BenBrocka I have a brother. It enables co-op play without the hassles of intarnebs.
...don't ask me what an intarneb is because I'm not sure what I wrote there.
@GraceNote I have a roommate. They have the same advantage.
@GraceNote Intrarnebs and intarnebs are not very different.
You roommate with a space pilot hero. It's a pretty cushy position you have.
Ergh, $12
I was hoping for... less than that.
@GraceNote The intarneb is the fixed point of the internet. It's where all memes go to die.
@GraceNote Sadly, his day job is much less glamorous than being a hero.
20:12
@Frank How dare you speak that way of @TrentHawkins.
@OrigamiRobot Yeah! I hope @TrentHawkins teaches you a lesson in respect.
@OrigamiRobot Meh. He wouldn't care.
Also, you guys are probably going to wake him.
@GraceNote That was more a "are you willing to play online" than a "how dare you not play online"
@Frank So, you're telling us to stop pinging @TrentHawkins?
like, internet(sonic) = sonac. internet(internet(...(internet(internet)...)) = intarneb.
20:13
@FEichinger Probably, yes.
@Frank @TrentHawkins cannot be woken by mere pings.
@BenBrocka It's an option, our connection is iffy to setup sometimes though.
Unless, of course, @TrentHawkins desires to be woken.
I could, of course, disconnect him from the internet and prevent this from happening.
open question: if internet(internet(...(internet(x))...)) = intarneb(x), what is intarneb(sonic)?
20:14
@Frank Why would you do such a terrible thing when we're just pinging @TrentHawkins?
@badp FAST
Every time I try to ping @TrentHawkins, chat wants me to ping @TimStone.
@FEichinger To stop you from doing such a terrible thing as waking him!
@OrigamiRobot That's why, when I want to ping @TrentHawkins, I write "@Tr" before tabbing!
Of course, I'm not hearing the pings, so perhaps he turned his speakers off.
20:15
@BenBrocka Hit me up when I'm not busied with summat else and we'll see what we can arrange. Note that I've also never done any sort of netplay thing with our PS3 so I might have to go through some kind of rigmarole or lasagna to get to our destination.
@Frank Well, that would make pinging @TrentHawkins boring, wouldn't it.
Speaking of pinging people, @Wipqozn
@OrigamiRobot Clearly, @TrentHawkins is @TimStone.
TWIST!
Sometimes I just like to ping @Wipqozn so that he gets hopeful that there's a useful message for him, and then there isn't.
@GraceNote And probably an update or two.
20:15
@FEichinger You could just type @Tre and be done with it
@Yuki OMG! That starts with a "T", too!
@OrigamiRobot No! Even @TrentHawkins doesn't deserve a three-letter-ping.
> Clearly, @TrentHawkins is @TimStone. @TWIST!
@GraceNote If you've used PSN at all I wouldn't think it'd be too fussy

Q: Corsair Vengeance 2100 on OS X

mightymouse3062I just purchased the Crosair Vengeance 2100 headset to use with Steam on OS X (Mountain Lion) and to use with Skype. I can get the headset to be detected by OS X and set it up as a sound device but after a few minutes the audio and mic cut out with the only way to reset it is to pull the USB ad...

Oh my god, I've just figured out how I've missed my alarm clock this morning
20:16
@StrixVaria That happens a lot due to the "Wipqozn is to blame" meme.
@BenBrocka I've looked up DLC a couple times and never gotten anything.
@badp Oh, you as well?
@badp Was it unplugged?
@StrixVaria I hate that.
While "sleep-walking" I long-pressed the power button on my tablet, hit "Power off" then "Yes" then returned to sleep.
20:17
@badp I will believe we just had a time shift here, so none of the alarms in this area ever went off.
@GraceNote you mean it didn't work
?
I say "sleep walking" because my only evidence that this has happened is that my tablet with the alarm clock was off this morning. I thought its battery died, but it's got a full charge. I have no memory of doing this.
@badp That's not so much sleep-walking as it is sleep-trolling-yourself.
@GnomeSlice Do you remember when I was drunk and pinged you a bunch of times?
@Yuki I figured that doing something you don't remember doing when you wake up was the whole definition of "sleep walking"
20:18
@badp Your subconscious is a dick.
3
I only do because they got starred and I saw them again the next morning.
@badp Well, there's the whole "walking" part, you know.
Granted, your conscious is MOD ABUSE...
@FEichinger YOU'RE RIGHT. I APOLOGIZE, @TrentHawkins.
@BenBrocka No, I never bought anything because it consumes my incomes.
20:20
@GraceNote Now imaging you as a cactus greedily hugging a pile of moneys
@BenBrocka Toss a sombrero on it and then @Frank will recognize a reference if it's an orange cactus.
Wait, what? @GraceNote is a cactus now?
@badp There isn't really a term for "Things that you do while pretty much asleep but aren't actually walking" as far as I know, but I think almost everyone is familiar with how adept the body is at shutting off alarm systems without letting you realize it.
@Frank My photo on the old SE employee directory is a cactuar plushie my brother got me.
@GraceNote Right now, I'm totally missing this reference.

Q: In Star Wars Tiny Death Star, I'm having an issue with enticing bitizens to stay. Help please?

GkAllDayErryDayIn TDS bitizens are not taking any interest in going to a residential level to stay; I currently have 25 bitizens and 27 floors, 9 of which are residential levels with 3 being un touched. Can anyone give me a a clue as to what I'm doing wrong or something that will entice bitizens more to want to...

20:22
@Frank Guided Fate Paradox shopkeeper.
@GraceNote Google's time flexibility is a life saver for me. I'd have so much trouble in companies that expect you to be inside the office by 9:00:00
@GraceNote Oh, right, him!
@badp I am always the first one to the office because of this.
That also means that I get to be the first to leave, though.
@StrixVaria Yeah, that's what I usually like, too.
My work is the same way. I get to work at 7, and leave at 3.
Aren't a lot of places like that with developers?
They really don't need to be doing 9-5 every day.
20:24
@StrixVaria The problem is that I had a meeting at 9:30 this morning...
@Wipqozn Mostly. Depends on when you are expected to be available for the business folks.
@badp That's a crime on a Monday.
@Wipqozn Who is doing 9-5 these days anyway? Who is getting paid lunches?
@StrixVaria It's pretty exceptional.
@GraceNote DLC prices seem completely disproportional to the main game in most cases, I almost never buy any. The same with microtransactions, but I fear avoiding all that stuff will only get harder.
20:25
... Why was I pinged 14 times?
@JasonBerkan Yeah, makes sense. I think that would apply more to IT than development though.
@kalina Awww, you actually do care about me. That's so sweet of you!
@Wipqozn One of the jobs I'm being presented for is pretty strictly regimented; always 9-5, no matter what.
@Wipqozn The problem is with meetings I assume
@TrentHawkins Because we love you.
20:26
@MadScientist Indeed
@TrentHawkins When it comes to pinging, the question is never "Why?" but "Why not?".
@OrigamiRobot My old job was 9-6 with no flexibility at all.
@TrentHawkins Well a couple of us pinged you, and then @Frank said you were asleep, so naturally the bridge had to just ping you several more times.
@TrentHawkins It's double seven and a shy of fifteen which is half of thirty.
A couple of teammates of mine are having regular meetings with Mountain View which means starting at 6pm
20:27
@badp Man, that's awkward.
@StrixVaria The normal around here is 7-5 and then 7-11 on Fridays.
I never like going in to work when it's dark out, be it way early or late.
I usually come in later than that though.
And by usually, I mean always.
@Yuki That's 9am in PST, so, as @StrixVaria called it, a crime.
Clearly we should all be using Correct Earth Time.
20:33
@badp yes! GMT or CEST are both acceptable
Any other time is heresy (sorry @PrivatePansy)
Also, is private pansy now worse than hitler and if so, what's his new name?
@KevinvanderVelden You do realize that's CET -1 and CET +1 respectively.
@KevinvanderVelden @StrixVaria IS THE NAME CHANGER
HE CAN'T MAKE UP HIS MIND
@badp yes? That's close enough for me
@KevinvanderVelden Very good. MOD ABUSE EXTREME ENGAGENING MODE
20:35
@OrigamiRobot Oh, right, Strix and WorldEngineer changed back. I'm gonna update fire when I'm ... no longer tired as fuck.
So, he's still the same name? Weird cause he's not on auto complete
@KevinvanderVelden That's based on how recently he's been in chat.
@KevinvanderVelden AUTOCOMPLETE ONLY WORKS IF THEY'VE BEEN IN THE ROOM RECENTLY
@StrixVaria yeah but I thought he was gonna change his name so I assumed the worst of him
@KevinvanderVelden Autocomplete dies ... I think a day after leaving the room.
20:37
@OrigamiRobot AT WORK I SEE?
I pressed caps lock to type that, and immediately held down shift to capitalize it >.>
PLEASE ENGAGE BRAIN BEFORE TYPING.
@KevinvanderVelden WHEN YOU USE AUTOCAD, YOU HAVE TO STOP USING YOUR BRAIN
BRAIN LOCK ENGAGE
@OrigamiRobot I was talking to myself, I don't use autocad, bleh.
AHHHH SUGAR OVERLOAD! No seriously, I may need a dose of insulin here shortly.
@StrixVaria Maybe.
20:39
I'm a programmer! I use the weirdest and obscure tool I can find (openSCAD for my CAD-ing needs usually)
@KevinvanderVelden I'M EXPLAINING HOW I DEAL WITH THE ISSUE YOU JUST EXPERIENCED.
@OrigamiRobot aha
@Spugs @Strix
Bla, I'm debating whether or not to 3D print a settlers of catan board
@KevinvanderVelden Couldn't you 2d print that?
20:41
@KevinvanderVelden 3D PRINT SOMETHING SO I CAN MAKE A LIGHT BALL
@KevinvanderVelden An entire board? Wouldn't that be a bit big for your standard 3D printers?
And besides, I've already got a 2d one
@MBraedley they're several tiny pieces, you change the layout every time you play
Screw your townhouse, I want a clownhouse
Not what I want to see after large exposures to Sanic
20:43
> Wondering if it's possible in any way that this place is not haunted and or was involved in many suspicious deaths. The only thing it's missing is a single gas pump and a pair of complimentary overalls.
GOTTA SNEEZE FAST

> Pflichttext hier.
wat.
@FEichinger GOTTA SNEEZE FAST
(Translation: "Mandatory text here.")
20:44
@FEichinger NO TIME TO EXPLAIN GOTTA SNEEZE FAST
I mean, this just looks like the most awesome catan set ever!

hmm, my sim travels 10 times too fast in one direction, but not the other.
@KevinvanderVelden Good luck storing this once you're done playing.
@KevinvanderVelden Combine that with this and you have pure awesomeness.
@StrixVaria long tube should work
@MBraedley that does look awesome
20:49
THERE I FIX IT

Q: What can Stack Overflow do to persuade female programmers to participate more?

lkesslerI know a lot of female programmers, and I know there are a good number of them out there. But I don't recall ever having one of my questions answered by, nor have I ever answered a question by a female programmer here at Stack Overflow. Now I mostly deal in the Delphi tag, and that may make a d...

@KevinvanderVelden anything built by lego is cooler imo
@Jin hmmm that is true, though a 3D printer is much easier
3D lego printer
Jin
Jin
@BenBrocka it already exists
@Jin WAT
that's so cool
Jin
Jin
a self-replicating AI... this will end well.
@Jin only if it can print computer chips
@GnomeSlice mine is cooler cause it builds lego things! :D
Jin
Jin
reminds me of that episode of DS9, where they deployed space mines with replicators. they just spammed more mines
20:58
@KevinvanderVelden Oh I thought that's what his did.
@BadRealtyPhotos, London, UK
Follow for updates to the Terrible Real Estate Agent Photos blog. Inexplicably bad property photos. It's that simple.

@GnomeSlice nope, that's a CNC mill looks like, makes it from that green stuff you make christmas decorations from
Great tumblr/twitter.
God damn this EP is good
@MBraedley Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahaha
@MBraedley you know, it makes sense. You could actually teach your kids about sex, OR you could let the TV do it!
21:05
@KevinvanderVelden It is, however, pretty sad when TV ends up doing a better job.
@FEichinger reality TV
@FEichinger that's assuming america is teaching children about sex. How many schools have abstinance only "education"?
@MBraedley Yeeeh ... let's not get into that discussion, shall we.
@FEichinger That's exactly what the article's about
The US seem to be the only civilized country with such a problematic attitute towards the whole topic. If you tried to teach "abstinence only" sex ed here you'd be considered crazy
21:06
@MBraedley TV is TV.
@MadScientist and rightly so, the only thing abstinence only education gives is a feeling of worthlessness and a free STD
@MadScientist The US has a lot of "problematic attitude" towards a lot of topics.
@FEichinger guns, sex, privacy, religion, drugs, am I missing something else?
Normally, I'd link to some LSFW content, but I am at work, defeating the purpose of the label.
@FEichinger Don't remind me about the whole creationism issue. I still hope I'm just being trolled by the whole media and that nobody actually believes that bullshit
5
21:08
@KevinvanderVelden Freedom as well, but that's just a buzzword anyway.
@MadScientist I hate that I share a country with those people.
Can we not trash a certain set of beliefs in here please?
Just because you don't agree with them?
People should be allowed to believe whatever they want without being ridiculed.
@GnomeSlice it's less the not agree-ing with them and more the general "Your believes are inconsistent with demonstrated fact... and also themselves"
It doesn't matter. You don't get to tell people what to believe.
@GnomeSlice Creationism is not just a set of beliefs. I try to avoid disparaging pure beliefs despite my opinion about religion, but creationism also makes definite statements about science that are just plain wrong. So they're free game in my opinion, and they don't deserve any protection.
21:10
@GnomeSlice you can believe anything you want, but if you believe you should make your life decisions on invisible fairies only you can see and refuse to attempt to demostrate the truth of them I'm gonna ridicule you
Oh, everyone is free to believe what they want. Just like how I'm free to tell them it's bullshit.
@MadScientist I think you may be confusing "Creationism" with "Intelligent Design Creationists".
Just, to put that back into perspective.
The latter are the worst people on the planet.
The first are just another set of religious crazies.
I'm not gonna stop you from believing in it, and I'm gonna fight for your right to believe in it... but I'm still gonna ridicule ridiculous things
21:11
@KevinvanderVelden This.
@StrixVaria The only other creationism group I know is YECs, and they're even more ridiculous than the ID people
FAE
FAE
@MadScientist One of Jochem's work colleagues is a YEC.
@BenBrocka Nest are the guys with the $200 fire alarm, or?
@MadScientist Technically all Christians and Catholics and stuff are "creationists".
21:12
@MadScientist meh, a lot of ID people are YEC, they just don't say it in the hope of passing the american seperation of church and state
@StrixVaria Not catholics, at least if they follow the official doctrine
@GnomeSlice I have my limits. I allow people to hold whatever opinion they choose. I don't need them to force their opinion on me. As for beliefs that are factually wrong, if you hold them, don't talk to me about them, or be prepared to face ridicule.
@MadScientist and thermostat. The thermostat at least saves you money in theory
@FAE I've met some dutch creationists (a whole of 2 of 'm, both friends of mine) but never a dutch young earth creationist
And I live in the dutch version of the bible belt!
FAE
FAE
@KevinvanderVelden I know. It baffles my mind.
@KevinvanderVelden And he'll like... link articles or stuff to Jochem to try to "prove" some of his beliefs or make claims about doubting science and stuff.
21:14
@FAE is Jochem's every response a link to the relevant article on rationalwiki.org?
@MadScientist I don't keep up with it, I guess. I thought "creationism" was just the believe that at the beginning, "God" created everything.
Cause that'd be what I'd do, just the link without context.
Which itself doesn't conflict with evolution.
FAE
FAE
@KevinvanderVelden Haha, no, he actually takes the time to discuss stuff with the guy and tell him why it's wrong because he's the only other programmer in the company and he has to work with him.
Oh good lord why would you try to discuss it
21:15
@FAE ooh small company, then yeah I'd do the same, so much fun :)
If they can accept bits where they're wrong and won't bring it up again
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka Because it's not a large enough place that he can just ignore the guy or something.
@BenBrocka To be fair, there is merit to seeing where the other side is coming from.
@BenBrocka Heard about this. Weird.
As ridiculous as the creationist argument is, there's a lot about it that makes me think "Yeh, we've kinda messed up on our end of the discussion, too."
@StrixVaria jeah technically, but very few people call themselves a creationist if they accept the fact of evolution
FAE
FAE
21:16
@KevinvanderVelden Yeah, they're both mutually pretty clear on where the other stands, his colleague just brings stuff up again now and then.
@FEichinger I'd sooner talk to the ICP magnet guys
FAE
FAE
Not in like, an outright hostile manner though.
@StrixVaria That's theistic evolution
God set the pieces in motion and afterwards evolution took over
FAE
FAE
@MadScientist I remember asking my 8th grade social studies teacher why God couldn't have created the Big Bang and he said once you bring theology into it, it just becomes a whole different thing.
Also, this is relevant to why I will ridicule ridiculous things (CC: @ElfSlice)
Scientists are also sexy, let's not forget that.
7
21:20
@KevinvanderVelden This is so sad.
@KevinvanderVelden Yeah I'd readily ignore silly stupid people if they didn't have such a pervasive harmful effect on society in general
@KevinvanderVelden It took a huge weight off my mind when I accepted that the best response to "That person believes something I don't" in respect to religion (and/or lack thereof) is "That's fine."
Now I just need to apply that logic to all opinions.
@OrigamiRobot But what if someone thinks a question should be closed, and you don't?
Or vice versa?
That's fine.

Q: Need Help Bad Firetruck mission

Richie KernWhile in the middle of the firetruck mission I accidentally exited the mission instead of retry and now when I try to do the mission over I cant enter the mission cause the building is on fire! I can steal the firetruck again and park it but thats about it..I need help so I can continue to play.....

Quitting time! To home I go!
@OrigamiRobot jeah, the reason I debate it with some people is because I enjoy debating. If a jehova's witness or whatever bothers me in the streets I just laugh at them
@KevinvanderVelden That's kinda rude.
@Lazers ALL WE HAD TO DO WAS FOLLOW THE DAMN FIRETRUCK CJ
@OrigamiRobot well they bother me in the street, that's rude as well
21:28
Two wrongs and all that.
I guess it depends on what you mean by "bother"
> I accidentally exited the mission instead of retry and now when I try to do the mission over I cant enter the mission cause the building is on fire!
@OrigamiRobot I'm walking somewhere and they start shoving flyers and books in my hands
I just roll my eyes and walk away, but I do that to most people
Just say "no thank you"
@OrigamiRobot naah, I work in a city, I'm good at letting marketers and what not no I don't want to talk with them (look at them and shake my head). If they continue to press their believes on me they do so at their own peril (where peril is mostly limited to feeling like your being laughed at)
21:31

@KevinvanderVelden Any interaction on your part is invitation for them to further interact with you.
@OrigamiRobot no, people pressing their religions are the only ones who continue to push when I shake my head. People with newspapers to give, marketers, everyone else understands and moves on to someone else
This is how it works in holland at least, I make it clear I don't want to interact with you, go away or be laughed at
I don't understand what laughing does other than further waste your time.
@OrigamiRobot well it doesn't waste my time cause I keep walking. It's not a nelson HAHA, but a chuckle while walking
Well if that's what you do if they continue, what are you doing before that?
21:37
@OrigamiRobot walking, then they walk towards me and follow me a bit while I keep walking
I have no idea what's going on in this hypothetical situation anymore.

Q: Why can't I uninstall these bukkit plugins on my Minecraft Server?

JudalI know by common sense that removing the .jar and the folders they created should do the trick - thing is that two of the four plugins I tried to uninstall aren't completely gone. The spleef one still hands out compasses that let people teleport, though now they can no longer right-click to brin...

@OrigamiRobot me neither, meh
I'm going to bed! It is late and I have to get up tomorrow
@KevinvanderVelden It is not late! It's not even 11PM yet!
@Arperum yes, I'm going to bed, I have to do several things before I can do that but the first is turning off the PC and such
Unfortunately someone linked to terriblerealestateagentphotos.com
So I had to finish that, which I just did.
And them someone started chatting to me!
21:42
@KevinvanderVelden Just be thankful they didn't link TVTropes
FAE
FAE
@KevinvanderVelden omg dead goose
@SaintWacko meh, I know not to click on TVTropes, this one was new to me
@FAE yeah, no idea why that's there, but the "no idea why that's there" is a general theme for this site!
@KevinvanderVelden So you keep talking here until noone pings you anymore?
@Arperum no... yes... AARGH RUN AWAY!
turns off PC Cya chat!

Q: Can you skip cinematics in return to castle chordead?

AndalurThese cinematics repeat over and over again, especially if you respawn often (bossfight for example), so is there a way to skip them or turn them off? Keys like ENTER and WHITESPACE won't work and ESC is already mapped to open the menu...

21:46
So what's the next best game news site after Polygon? I can't bear to follow their Twitter anymore with Kuchera's opinion articles
@KevinvanderVelden Lies!
@BenBrocka What is this?
@BenBrocka ...
It's kinda fitting though
"Hey Clark, how 'bout those world series chances this year?"
*Clark shrugs comically, applause*

@BenBrocka Well, could've been a young guy with lots of body hair instead.
21:50
@BenBrocka I don't get it.
It's just the Cubs making sure they're the but of every baseball joke for the next 100 years

@BenBrocka I don't get it.
I don't sports, so I guess that's it.
Attack on Titan is a horrible thing which is trying to kill me with cliffhangers.
FAE
FAE
@Macha We sat down and watched the first half of the season in one day.
I watched it all last weekend
Trost arc was the best arc :p But it was all good
Except the cliffhangers. And spoiler in the second opening.

21:56
@Macha I'm torn now between reading the manga or not. On one hand, I want to know more, on the other, I kind of don't want to know more so I can see it if there's ever a 2nd season.
@Macha Hm, what was spoiled? Can tell me on Steam.
