It could work, if you think the "it" is "the action of putting them on your feet"

DENIED

Arperum

@5pike Edit time.

Matt Эллен

@badp it could refer to the putting

5pike

@Arperum I know

3ventic

it does refer to the putting, because it's an it.

Matt Эллен

damn it, I didn't see sterno

badp

11:01

It could but it doesn't because I said so

3ventic

Whether that was originally meant or not is another question

Sterno

~~twitch~~

3ventic

I can't think today

My school is more or less over by the way.

Arperum

@Sterno You keep twitching today, are you feeling sick or something?

badp

His last twitch was stricken through so you could say things are getting better

@LessPop_MoreFizz When you saw this story I can only assume you thought it was Zeus giving you an early Christmas Gift.

Sterno

@Wipqozn I liked this bit

> Keep a percentage, return the rest. Don’t walk away with your fellow freedom fighters’ coins.

"Freedom fighters"

Yup

Wipqozn

I love the bitcoin community. They provide so much entertainment.

badp

So today something was supposed to happen but I don't quite remember what!

It seems like such a regular normal boring day. I'm even watching curling on TV.

Matt Эллен

IIRC tomorrow is Cheap Chocolate Day

badp

GBR-JAP

Very uneventful day indeed.

Arperum

11:14

@badp It is a regular boring day.

badp

Well not really. I'm watching curling.

5pike

@Arperum It's Friday, that's something.

badp

It's like the boringest day.

I can feel the boring desperately aging away.

As if it was getting... old?

5pike

"Boring" cannot get old, it can only evolve into something else.

badp

Old and bored is definitely something you can be.

5pike

11:18

@badp Yes, but that are 2 things. Boring, on its own, cannot get "old-boring".

badp

You would be surprised

5pike

Boring is an entity that cannot age

It's eternal

It knows not what time is, nor does it care

badp

Tsk tsk tsk. It is entirely possible for boring to get old.

5pike

@badp I don't agree

Sterno

@badp Is your internship over?

badp

11:20

@Sterno a week ago

Sterno

I saw your percentage countdown but wasn't very sure what the initial timeframe was, so it was hard to tell if you were counting hours or days.

I even had to leave early the last day for the house handover procedure

Sterno

I don't know, though. Sitting around watching Curling on TV all day seems one step away from just putting the gun in your mouth.

Wipqozn

@Sterno Curling is pretty rad.

badp

11:22

Did you mean... cricket?

Curling is boring but not old. To add excitement they've added blinkenlichts

5pike

@badp They what?

badp

They added blinkenlichts

Wandang

hey guys

could some1 do me a favour?

i need to check if our university system allows downloads from outside the universitynet

it would be nice if some1 could check if he can download this pic (my bratwurst is magic avatar) gigamove.rz.rwth-aachen.de/download/id/fCSGBnBTvYrDdo

5pike

@Wandang Yeah, no problem.

Wandang

you do not need to download , its enough if the download window of your browser appears.

thank you very much spike

5pike

11:26

@Wandang I could download, no problem.

3ventic

Yeah, that seems trustworthy

Wandang

:D

3ventic

If someone were to replace the file with a virus, wouldn't you think they would also replace that text...

Wandang

how?

badp

Japan is getting beaten badly

Matt Эллен

11:30

The British (well, Scottish) are very good at curling

Wandang

@3ventic how?

now you are quite :(

badp

Oh, GB fucked up. Now Jap has an opening

@badp No, not obvious

@badp yeah my eyes bleed to blindness after reading that revelation ಠ_ಠ

badp

Bleed is my favourite art style

Feb 16 '13 at 12:26, by badp

Almost one year ago! I haven't been practicing so much.

I need to pick it back up.

but what should I draw in this boring, happeningless, perfectly normal day?

5pike

@badp Curling?

Matt Эллен

@badp a white cat in snow

badp

Matt Эллен

Amazing

badp

11:50

Yeah, it's not quite good enough

Wandang

@badp can i give 2 html elements the same id

because then i can give them all the same content

Arperum

@Wandang Uses classes for that?

Matt Эллен

ids need to be unique to a page

Wandang

at the moment i would need to do x attributes in my language object (learningMat1 : "bla", learningMat2 : "bla") etc

damnit

Matt Эллен

most browsers allow it, but it's nasty

Arperum

11:52

@MattЭллен Need is a big word, they need to be unique to be valid.

5pike

@Wandang Why do you hate kittens so much?

Wandang

well my code is dynamic (html generated on the fly, so i only need 1 attribute for all my stuff that gets the same name on generation)

but my coworker has static html

@MattЭллен well we tried our project on IE yesterday.

it was like hiroshima ಠ_ಠ

Matt Эллен

Like Arperum says, use classes.

Blem

HEllo people

@Blem hi

YOLO pencil and paintbrush

5pike

@badp happy ...... ..... ?

Matt Эллен

birthday Kalina?

Arperum

@MattЭллен yup.

badp

The negative spaces really shine through in this composition

like an asymmetric cryptographic key that lets you determine meaning from randomness

even when there might not have been meaning at all

This piece of art puts the viewer in strong bonding with the SSH protocol

Matt Эллен

12:03

or like a tune that creates harmonies from silence

Wandang

@badp nice to see you paint like you write german

badp

@Wandang It's truly a digital fashion statement for the 21st century.

Wandang

@badp it certainly fits the youth generation of flappy bird players...

@Blem welcome to the lair

@kalina your birthday today?

badp

@wandang While I do not identify with it I extend a laurel of peace towards them through the artistic choice of the YOLO pencil

5pike

Dungeon Keeper for free for 48 hours at gog.com

19

badp

12:06

Through this choice, the artist clearly says that, while he does not know that feel, he can certainly see how they got themselves into that mess

and while he cannot surrender permission, he offers forgiveness

It's quite Pythonic, really

Forgiveness that becomes all the more necessary as the youth becomes no longer

through the painful yet undelayable transition to sternoldness

or worse, Ardaxity

Martin Sojka

@badp I've seen worse "professional art".

Way, way worse.

Wandang

@5pike is that site international like steam?

badp

@Martin my trip towards the sublime is far from over

I am but a mere mouse wielding mspainter

5pike

@Wandang probably, yeah.

badp

It's hard to dip as much meaning into art

Wandang

12:11

WOW

Private Pansy

@badp That still gives me nightmares

Wandang

much APPLE style

so iOS

Arperum

@5pike But I have it already over there :(

5pike

@Arperum Doesn't matter, get it again. It's free

badp

Yi Jiang is still meaninged

This will undoubtedly help him cope with the military kind of bleed

Arperum

12:12

@5pike Like, make a second account ot get it twice or something?

5pike

@Arperum Yes

Wandang

i like that i only need an email

like [email protected]

Arperum

@5pike What does that get me that owning it once doesn't?

5pike

@Arperum You get 1 free version of it

Private Pansy

@5pike So you can give it to someone else once the promotion is over?

Arperum

12:17

@PrivatePansy Inlcuding random crap emailaccount or something.

5pike

@PrivatePansy Yeah. You could also burn it on a cd and put it somewhere safe...

whatever you want

Wandang

@5pike so gog is offline too?

no need for clients or something

neat

i get 3 copies then

5pike

@Wandang I don't think it has something like steam. You just download, install and play

badp

@5pike It does have a download client.

Wandang

@badp seems optional , it is set to "off" in my acc for some reason

one of the hardest things in Zoo Tycoon is breeding pandas. It's stumped me for a few years. Minimum Exhibit rating? Minimum Animal happiness? What are the required stats for a baby panda to be possible?

Hmm. Already got the second one, but it's tempting. I might get it after the promotion is over.

@StrixVaria i waited for 12 min now. not yet in my inbox

patience is a virtue

badp

@StrixVaria I think it's a clever ruse to get you to stay on their site a little longer and actually buy something.

StrixVaria

@badp I can see that, because I'm in the process now of deciding whether to buy NWN2 again.

Arperum

12:24

@StrixVaria DK2 is on sale too.

StrixVaria

@Arperum DK?

Oh Dungeon Keeper.

Arperum

@StrixVaria Dungeon Keeper.

Wipqozn

Going on GOG makes me want to play King of Dragon Pass again. I should install it on my laptop.

StrixVaria

I've never actually played any Dungeon Keeper games before.

Arperum

@StrixVaria They are a lot of fun.

Wipqozn

12:25

@StrixVaria Nor I.

Arperum

I remember the original beating me up pretty early in the campaign, never got further then that point. I should try again sometime.

Wandang

@StrixVaria same here

Matt Эллен

I played DK2, but it kept crashing. I think that was on win XP

could have been win 7

Wandang

i played that

> General Arqade chat room. First rule is, we do not talk about games. Second rule is, we do not. talk. about. games.

You should all get banned

Wandang

12:29

The PC version is a RTS similar to Dungeon Keeper, and was the first video game for the Rock Raiders theme

3ventic

Third rule should be that we don't talk about rules.

Arperum

@5pike You started it. You can show me the exit.

Wipqozn

@Arperum It's true!

@5pike is a criminal!

LOCK HIM UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY!

5pike

@Arperum Damnit. Ok, I see myself out

If you guys intend to play the original DK, get DKFX. It's a thing that lets it run well on modern machines. Resolutions and all that.

Arperum

@PrivatePansy Why would you do that?

Private Pansy

It's not like I have much of a choice

Mystery shopping is fun

@fredley Free Pret day?

Matt Эллен

The pret shop gives away free prets. You could get a drog, a crat, maybe even a brudgerigar

Arperum

@FAE Why does that sound so much like an ingame quote?

I went from being somewhat interested to having expectations!

@Arperum Free Pret day

badp

A buncha books on sale, too. Chosen because they have pink in the cover.

Arperum

@fredley What is this "Pret" supposed to mean? failing at English

fredley

13:29

@Arperum pret.com

Wipqozn

@badp Python is the best.

badp

@Arperum I think it's french for "ready" or "easy" but I can't be sure

Sterno

Why would anyone remake the satirical perfection that was Robocop?

badp

Yeah: ready.

Arperum

@fredley Ah, French. That's cheating.

Wipqozn

13:31

@Sterno I thought Robocop was a documentary of Detroit in the future.

badp

@Arperum It is. It should've been "prêt."

Arperum

@badp yes it is. I just didn't make the connection to french.

fredley

@badp Nope. It's pronounced as un-frenchly as possible

Arperum

@fredley It is stil french.

badp

but the expression "prêt à porter" is pretty common

fredley

13:32

@Arperum As much as the word 'beef' is.

RedRiderX

Ahaha the Feast of the Exceptional Rose is upon us my delicious friends!

Martin Sojka

@Sterno Robocop wasn't perfect. That said, every sequel, remake and imitation so far was plain horrible.

fredley

@badp See: net a porter

OrigamiRobot

Nope. No way I can leave for work.

Q: Why do mimics spawn?

I have mimics spawning even though my world is in regular mode but they only spawn in dungeon.why does this happen all the time?

terraria-console

I'm never going to watch that movie...

I blame @Wipqozn.

fredley

-frozen

Our lazers will unfreeze anything that is frozen, so you may enjoy an unfrozen experience.

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy In this case blaming me is actually appropriate, because I've been secretly conspiring to ensure you don't see the movie.

@fredley not correct

@Fluttershy can't repro

Fluttershy

It only does it if my phone goes into standby. When it tries to update chat upon coming out of standby, it crashes.
