The Bridge

badp

12:00

but how do you see the vote thing?

Martin Sojka

@badp Yeah, but who wants that?

Private Pansy

@MartinSojka Reduce, because the government wants babies

badp

@MartinSojka Schadenfreude

Private Pansy

And Singapore happens to have the lowest fertility rates anywhere in the word

Wipqozn

oh, it got reversed.

badp

12:01

@PrivatePansy What about infant mortality rates?

Martin Sojka

@PrivatePansy ... as long as they are not from uneducated people, foreigners or people who already have enough and would just stretch their resources trying to care for more. Makes ... sense. In a very inhumane way.

Wipqozn

Supposedly peope protested and they removed the voting system? I don't know man

Private Pansy

@badp Very low. People simply don't want babies.

@MartinSojka It's very... Singaporean

badp

@PrivatePansy The two things are actually tied (low infant mortality and low fertility)

Private Pansy

Pragmatic to the extreme

badp

12:02

I'm not sure why but it seems they are.

Private Pansy

@badp Only by a third variable

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot @TimStone Banished is no available to purchase on GOG and the Shining Rock Software website.

badp

@PrivatePansy ?

Private Pansy

@badp Because low birthrate is the result of better healthcare, which is generally associated with wealth, and wealth means better education and access to birth control

Martin Sojka

@Wipqozn Really? Awesome.

badp

12:03

@Wipqozn Oh, they pulled it off the GoG store? How come?

@PrivatePansy how about the US then?

YOUR TYPOS ARE GIVING ME DYSLEXIA IN REAL TIME

Wipqozn

@badp That should have been now... zeus damn it. Why must you curse my typing, Eevee?

Feeds

badp has removed Wipqozn from the list of this room's owners.

4

Private Pansy

@badp The US does have a higher birthrate and worse healthcare than most European countries, right?

Typing Eevee?

badp

@PrivatePansy Commas they're important sometimes™.

Wipqozn

You guys are the worst.

Matt Эллен

12:07

like German sausage :D

Private Pansy

@MattЭллен waust?

badp

goes rename @Wipqozn to @Wiqpozn, just to see how long it takes for him to notice

Matt Эллен

@PrivatePansy yeah!

or not!

Wurst

Wipqozn

@badp You should actually do that at some point without telling me to see if anyone notices. Including me.

badp

@Wipqozn it would break three-letter pings, so people would notice.

Wipqozn

12:09

Oh right

badp

@MattЭллен do you mind if I ask you for a romanization of "Эллен"? Is it like "Eppeh"?

Matt Эллен

@badp Ellen

badp

oh. okay. That makes sense.

Matt Эллен

Matt Ellen, United Kingdom

296 1 12

Martin Sojka

п = p, л = l or w, depends.

Matt Эллен

12:12

I'm in disguise on Arqade

badp

OIC.

@MartinSojka Hey, that was at least a little better than "Enneh"

also what I want to see is Twitch plays Gameboy

Commands are "up" "down" "left" "right" "press" "depress" "pinch" "release" and "blow"

Martin Sojka

Seems rather tame. What about "crush"?

badp

You must pinch a cartridge, release it into the console, press the battery cover open, pinch some batteries and release them in the battery slots the right way, press them in place, press the battery cover closed again, turn the console, turn it on, turn the console and play.

@MartinSojka when you press on the display it shows pinkish led waves. Press too long and it crushes.

(or whatever those things are called)

if you pinch a button you lift the gameboy. If you forgot to close the battery department thing, the batteries fall out when you release

Martin Sojka

That doesn't really help for those times when you want to get all rough and throw your Gameboy against the next wall.

badp

12:27

pinch up up up up up up up up up up up release

also the batteries run out every six hours.

I don't know if the gameboy had a slow and painful kind of battery death or it just shut the console off immediately.

Kevin van der Velden

@badp I remember it being the kind of death where it'd shut down and then you could start it back up again for a few minutes (and then a minute, a few seconds etc)

Trent Hawkins

@badp slow and painful

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn I boughted it!

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Shining Rock or GOG?

Shining Rock gives you a steam key.

OrigamiRobot

Shining Rock.

I plan to play it via Steam for tracking and all that.

Wipqozn

12:35

I'm trying to decide between GOG or steam.

Probably the Steam version.

@OrigamiRobot You can't play the steam version until it unlocks though.

so don't go rushing home right now to play it.

OrigamiRobot

I'm not even at work yet. I just woke up!

Wipqozn

What time is it for you?

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot So I assume you won't be playing minecraft tonight?

Wipqozn

I didn't think the time difference was that great between us.

OrigamiRobot

And if I wanted, I could just play it via the stand-alone. At least for the tutorials.

@Wipqozn 7:30

Wipqozn

12:37

True

@OrigamiRobot Oh, didn't go into work for 6 then I see.

OrigamiRobot

@Arperum Unlikely.

Arperum

It's 13:37 here

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn No, Minecraft ruined that plan.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot I blame @Arperum

Also, look on the bright side @OrigamiRobot, now I'll get to play it before you!

Arperum

@Wipqozn Blame @jochem

OrigamiRobot

12:38

@Wipqozn Not if I leave early anyway!

Wipqozn

@Arperum In that case I blame @FAE. She should have stopped him!

and @Fluttershy should have made @FAE stop him so.........

@Fluttershy is to blame!

Kevin van der Velden

Why are we trying to assign blame here?

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot It would be cool if we both started playing at roughly the same time.

Kevin van der Velden

I thought the answer was obvious. It's @Wipqozn's fault

Arperum

@Wipqozn Oh crap, I can see how @FAE will return the blame to me for asking her to ask @jochem to fix the server.

Wipqozn

12:40

@Arperum You're a monster.

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden @Wipqozn has been assigning blame to me lately.

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum pre-emptive blaming, smart

Arperum

> You're a ~~monster~~ mage.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn Shining Rock purchases go through Humble Store and are likely to get the most money to the dev.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Oh, they do? I thought you had to purchase it via paypal.

Ben Brocka

12:50

God they're still in rocket HQ

Wipqozn

@BenBrocka NO ESCAPE

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn Yes, but the paypal goes to the Humble Store and that's who give you your game/key.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot ah okay

well I lack a paypal

so that's not an option

OrigamiRobot

You don't have to have an account or anything.

Wipqozn

and I'd rather not get a PayPal since I don't trust them.

OrigamiRobot

12:51

@Wipqozn D:

@Wipqozn I don't trust you

Wipqozn

If I want to give the dev more money at some point I'll buy another copy of the game.

badp

About TPP and "trolls"

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot It seems like almost every day there is a new story of PayPal kidnapping peoples children and holding them hostage.

Ben Brocka

PS4 sold 5.3 million as of Feb 8th, already meeting their fiscal year goal

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn You can also use Amazon Payments.

Wipqozn

12:53

@OrigamiRobot I've never use that before.

I'll just stick with Steam or GOG.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn You've never bought anything through Amazon?

Wipqozn

No sir.

I'm a strange fellow.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn In that case, I have no idea why you'd use GOG.

Wipqozn

Yeah, I'm going to just get the Steam version.

GOG was mostly just passing thought.

I do have a GOG account though.

OrigamiRobot

Either way, I am a more loyal fan than you. /smug

Wipqozn

12:57

@OrigamiRobot One could argue that the amount of revenue I've generated due to telling people about the game makes m more loyal!

in fact, any revenue he gets from you is because of me!

and anyone who knows about the game because of you is because of me!

and so on and so forth!

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn You were only able to tell me about it because I deemed you worthy of speaking to me.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot more like I deemed you worthy of hearing it!

OrigamiRobot

Please, you'll talk to anyone! You're Canadian.

It would be rude to ignore someone.

fredley

Americans have no idea how big a teaspoon is

Wipqozn

Zeus damn it , you're right!

Ben Brocka

13:01

You can also use just a credit card of Google Wallet on Humble Bundle

Martin Sojka

@fredley Neither do I. Give it to me in g or ml, please.

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka It's not on the humble store, that's just how they payments get processed. It's weird.

Wipqozn

Oh, they're at the wrong puzzle again.

I've been thinking of playing Pokemon HeartGold again.

Ben Brocka

You should finish Pokemon black 2 for me so I don't have to

Wipqozn

I still need to finish white 1.

Also X.

I'd rather just play HeartGold though.

Sterno

13:10

@StrixVaria Not according to his profile.

Ben Brocka

XY is great, I recommend it strongly

Wipqozn

Thinking I'd with the fire starter. Also have Jolteon, Espeon, Murkrow and then either Piplup or Helix Fossil in my party. I'd need a sixth.

@BenBrocka I own it, I just never finished it.

I got about half way through before stopping.

Ben Brocka

Playing B2 after Y makes it pretty obvious why they went to 3D, the sprite effects are awful

Wipqozn

@Sterno I'm too lazy to track it down, but agent numbers is 32, right?

Ben Brocka

I always figured he was 86 years old

OrigamiRobot

13:12

@Wipqozn SoulSilver*

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot HeartGold is what I own. SO TAKE THAT!

Private Pansy

@BenBrocka Yeah, the Polygon review mentions how hard it is to go back to any previous game after playing X & Y just because of how good the graphics are in the latest iteration

Wipqozn

@BenBrocka No, that's @Sterno.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn You own wrong, obviously.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot no u

OrigamiRobot

13:13

MAKE ME

Ben Brocka

@PrivatePansy The sprites still seem fine in other games. But gen 5 uses these dreadful animations and scaling effects that look awful, especially on such low res sprites/screens

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot No. I refuse.

Therefore I win.

Why is the chat spamming democracy...?

Private Pansy

@Wipqozn Who what?

Wipqozn

@PrivatePansy twitch

Oh, maybe he set some sort of voting system up to enable the voting system.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn Meter above the commands.

Ben Brocka

13:24

@Wipqozn voting system?

Maybe I just can't read that fast but I see way more democracy than anarchy but the needle keeps moving back/in the same spot

Wipqozn

@BenBrocka At one point he changed how it worked. It would choose the most popular command over a certain time period.

Sterno

@Wipqozn 34

Wipqozn

I don't see any metre or needle.

oh, wait.

I probably need to refresh the page.

Sterno

I am physically younger than @JasonBerkan and mentally younger than @FEichinger.

2

Wipqozn

the one I have playing (dev rom) has been running since yesterday,.

Ben Brocka

13:27

@Wipqozn Oh, one of the clones was doing that. Most popular command every second. Was surprisingly slow,but that might be because of how few people

Sterno

I have, to date, never yelled at kids to get off my lawn. So @FEichinger has me beat.

Ben Brocka

@Wipqozn if you leave twitch open it slowly gets more and more delay

Wipqozn

@Sterno Give it time.

RedRiderX

@OrigamiRobot oh wow

Very fancy and modern feeling

OrigamiRobot

I bought it on SUnday!

RedRiderX

13:30

!

Nice!

Wipqozn

I can't get the video to open anymore.

It just shows a black screen with an"arrow" on it as if the ad isn't going away.

There we go!

Sterno

Okay.

This Pokemon thing is growing on me.

Wipqozn

I wonder if they will ever escape this hellish maze.

Matt Эллен

@Sterno will you soon evolve?

Wipqozn

@Sterno Good.

Sterno

13:34

The key was learning enough about the game to know the train wreck you're looking at.

Grace Note

@Sterno Get off my lawn

Ben Brocka

@Sterno yes, and there are generally maps of what they're trying to do lately

Wipqozn

I feel like "train wreck" isn't a strong enough term to describe what is happening.

oh, stream is donw.

I wonder what he's up to.

Grace Note

@Wipqozn Well, it's like a train of trainwrecks, and that is having a wreck with another train of trainwrecks.

Ben Brocka

that's a first

Grace Note

13:36

And that is having another wreck with another train of trainwreck trainwreck.

Ben Brocka

It's a trainwreck where trains are hitting the first train to try and clear it off the tracks

OrigamiRobot

SEND MORE TRAINS!

Matt Эллен

@GraceNote are you sneakily trying to explain string theory?

Wipqozn

TOO MANY TRAINS? A SUITCASE FULL OF TRAINS SHOULD FIX THAT!

Sterno

In the last 4 days, I have eaten:
1) Half of one bagel, plain.
2) 2 pieces of bread
3) One can of chicken noodle soup. THIS WAS A MISTAKE
4) One potato. THIS WAS GLORIOUS.

Being sick sucks.

Private Pansy

13:38

In total? How are you not starving?

Ben Brocka

@Wipqozn Doctor TRAAAAINS

Sterno

@PrivatePansy I am. But when I eat, BAD THINGS HAPPEN

Also, it helps I'm fat. Plenty of reserves!

Wipqozn

@Sterno Great way to lose weight!

Matt Эллен

@BenBrocka From Trainsyvania

OrigamiRobot

Oh, they managed to deposit Drowzee and Rattata.

Wipqozn

13:40

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, they did that this morning.

Sterno

What's with the "democracy" spamming?

Grace Note

@Sterno They have a little vote thingy going on

Wipqozn

@Sterno A new voting system was implemented where the most popular command over a short period is chosen as the inputted move. If enough people spam democracy then it'll activate.

Sterno

Won't that ruin all the fun?

Or will it just make the trolls more hardcore?

Wipqozn

It might. It could also make getting past this possible.

Frank

13:44

@Sterno The trolls would have to organize with other trolls.

Also, good morning, Bridge

4

Wipqozn

It's not even a problem of trolls.

A large number of people have no idea what is going on.

They've spent most of their time of the past 2 days stuck at the wrong mze.

They still need to get the lift key.

Frank

@Wipqozn And some are actively attempting to sabotage progress.

Wipqozn

@Frank Indeed, but I don't think that's the largest problem.

badp

holy shit

my tablet battery charger just literally flew across the room with a loud springing sound

...with the tablet attached to it

Wipqozn

that's not good.

and also confusing.

badp

13:50

The tablet suffered no damage.

Private Pansy

Your room is made of jelly?

Wipqozn

That's good.

badp

@PrivatePansy No. Maybe the double socket adaptor thing is.

the other plugs are similarly a little ways out of the socket thing

should I be concerned?

Sterno

Maybe you have previously-unknown superpowers.

badp

I don't remember being bitten by a radioactive superman.

Sterno

13:53

That's weird they would physically shoot out from the socket rather than like... start smoking or something

StrixVaria

I'm kind of glad I'm back at work and can't actively watch Twitch Plays Pokemon.

Arperum

@Sterno Everyone and everything is mentally younger than @FEichinger. Even the universe.

badp

FEichinger

@Arperum That might be true.

badp

The rest of the source is slightly NSFW

(and not as good)

Fluttershy

13:58

Today is Banished, isn't it? :3

Frank

@Fluttershy Indeed it is!

OrigamiRobot

@Fluttershy For cool people.

Fluttershy

Yayy! Even though I spent my Banished budget on the FFX/X-2 CE, I am happy for my friends who get to play it. Except that @Wipqozn guy. I hope it crashes for him.
