4:00 PM
@FAE I'll put it to you this way, the smell of a particular part of my anatomy burning is not easy to forget.
I did that one without the sedative, although I did have professor layton to distract me
ooh, tacos. brb.
 
To join the other conversation happening in this room briefly: NOPE
 
FAE
@agent86 When I had it done, it was a blade, yeah.
 
@Fluttershy wat wat wat wat wat wat wat wat wat
 
@StrixVaria The job of diaeresis in this word is the same as on "noöne": It shows that the "i" starts a new vocal, unlike "maize", for example. It's a pronunciation help, basically.

A: Should Software Video Game Input Questions Be On-Topic?

FEichingerI don't think so. Fundamentally, what we have here is this: From a given chat's input (block 1), key words are selected (transition 1), then a command is picked in some method (block 2) and piped (transition 2) into a game/emulator (block 3). This is all fair and well, that's just how it wor...

 
4:01 PM
@MartinSojka Learned something new today, although I doubt I'll ever actually make use of it :P
 
FAE
@StrixVaria Dutch uses those like that as well.
 
Dutch is weird, though.

Q: What do the icons under the pilot's star rating stand for?

XenoxIn the campaign mode of "Achtung! Spitfire" Pilots can have several icons right beneath their star rating: The 5+ icon indicates that the pilot has scored at least 5 kills. What do the other icons stand for?

 
@badp It really isn't as bad as I make it sound. I couldn't feel anything once the anesthetic kicked in. It was just... so weird!
 
@Fluttershy watwatwatwatwatwatwatwatwatwatwatwatwatwatwatwatwat
EYEGLASSES 4 LYF
 
4:03 PM
Also, mine wasn't a blade to make the flap. It was another laser.
And my eyes looked pretty badass afterward.
And doctor prescribed naps are the best.
 
fyuyhgyfyrcutvhjob
 
FAE
@Fluttershy For me, they suctioned my cornea up a little into this round thing, which had a thing with a blade in it that they moved across my eye to cut my cornea open.
 
@FAE I'll be back later.
 
@FAE Yikes. x_x
 
4:05 PM
@FAE ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew nope nope nope nope nope noe nope nope nope
 
They suctioned my eye up, but it was a laser that made the flap. Really quickly too. It was kinda neat.
 
FAE
@StrixVaria I'll stop!
 
GROSS
 
@FEichinger If I think about it, you used 5 pictures, which is about 5000 words, so you managed to be wordier than I was going to be for the same point. Booyah.
 
@GraceNote To be honest, I just wanted to make pretty drawings.
 
4:06 PM
@FAE they showed a CGI version of this, and I was like "hellz no"
they're doing the "laser" method for me
 
the blade one looked like someone took an electric razor and just rubbed it across your eye
 
I think that dealing with input through software is one thing but I think that abstracting it to this case is flawed. Your answer mostly shares the same things I was planning.
 
FAE
@agent86 I imagine that's probably the newer way. Mine were done before @Fluttershy had his done, I believe.
 
Oh, agent86 is going to get his eye laser'd?
 
4:08 PM
Seriously though, @Strix @badp @agent86, I'm mostly being a drama queen. The surgery was quick, mostly painless, and well worth it given the substantial quality of life improvement it afforded me.
 
@FAE yeah. the procedure I'm having is apparently the one approved for nasa astronauts and figher pilots.

Q: Can I save my fortress with a wall?

Nathan Sabruka(Move to the TL;DR section if you don't care about the context.) So I was digging too deep when I found some giant cave spider. I think I was bothering it, since it proceeded to decimate my fledgling military. Once I had managed to calm it down, er, permanently, the tunnel revealed another welco...

 
I had my eye laser'd once.
 
@Fluttershy yeah, I can't read the "E" on the eye chart without my glasses
 
@agent86 That's what I had! :D
 
FAE
4:08 PM
@agent86 I can see the mockup looking like those Gillette commercials, yeah.
 
I don't know why Gundam Build Fighters is so much fun to watch. But it is.
 
@FAE get a closer eyeball shave with three blades
 
FAE
@agent86 I was -12 and -13 on the dioptric scale + astigmatism.
Had my right eye done twice, my left done once.
 
@FAE oh wow, I'm not that bad. I'm -6/-5. apparently they could correct me up to 9 or something
this guy has a less than 1% rate of retreatment
 
Ugh, having food problems in Banished right now. Should not have waited so long to make crop fields.
 
FAE
4:09 PM
@agent86 Yeah, it was pretty bad. My quality of life went up immensely after LASIK.
As in, I didn't have to be utterly terrified if I didn't have glasses on anymore.
 
@FAE I was -12 in my right, and -20 in my left, I believe.
 
@FAE mostly I want to be able to go to amusement/water parks without having to deal with glasses anymore
 
It's not that painful really
 
also they're constantly dirty and wearing headphones is a pain
 
FAE
@Fluttershy Your left's a special case though too.
 
4:10 PM
@FAE It is.
 
Holy crap, yeah, I'm not nearly that bad.
 
@agent86 Not having to deal with glasses, or not having to deal with losing your glasses?
 
@Fluttershy wwwaaattt wwwaaattt wwwaaattt wwwaaattt
 
My laser procedure wasn't to correct vision, though, so I have no idea how it'll be for you.
 
@Fluttershy watawatawatawatawatawatawatawatawatawatawataw
@GraceNote Even I have never pemanently lost a pair of eyeglasses. I outgrow them faster than I can lose them.
 
FAE
4:12 PM
@agent86 Yeah, I've had a little regression, so I need some correction for my left eye, but it's only like... -1.5? Something like that? I'd have to check my paperwork. My main thing is, it'll never be as bad as it was ever again, so I don't even care that I have regression.
 
@GraceNote I don't tend to lose them (they're semi-permanently affixed to my face) but having to take them off and put them back on again every time I want to do something is a pain
 
...and losing things is my thing.
 
@badp The only place I lose my glasses is at home.
 
Hence "permanently"
 
@FAE yeah, they're like "eventually you might need reading glasses" and I'm like "lol, whatevs"
 
4:12 PM
Aaaaaand my computer crashed, so I guess I don't have to worry about it.
 
I also was about to forget them in bars and restaurants and barbiers and whatnot in several instances, but always got them back afterwards.
 
@agent86 This is how it is for everyone, really, so it's not like this is much of a surprise.
 
FAE
Losing glasses requires taking them off, so I never lose them. I wear glasses again now because I'm a bit nearsighted in the left and ever so slightly farsighted in the right and I'm just too lazy to bother taking them off all the time.
 
@GraceNote yeah. my boss didn't want to do it since they couldn't make a "no glasses" promise, but for me, not having to wear them for a few decades would be a-ok
 
FAE
Also I don't want to mess with contacts. Too lazy.
 
4:13 PM
I need to get my eyes checked. I dunno what I'm at now. :(
 
FAE
@GraceNote Presbyopia!
 
@FAE I can't do contacts, I tried.
 
I should probably start doing chores or something before I get sucked into a video game.
 
I hope I don't have too many issues with the eye drops, I can probably get used to them
 
@agent86 It's basically "Wear glasses for everything but reading because you're nearsighted" or "Wear glasses for reading because you're not nearsighted" if you don't go the whole contacts route.
That's pretty much everyone's future.
 
FAE
4:14 PM
@agent86 Touching my eyes doesn't bother me, but I have trouble with stuff that needs done daily.
 
@FAE I can only assume this is the proper name for this.
 
I can't do contacts, because it would involve holding my eye open and poking myself in the pupil.
 
Exactly, same
 
I haven't even tried.
 
I can't do contacts because I look stylish with my glasses.

4:15 PM
@FAE Contacts apparently tend to give nuisance after a while, so you'd rarely actually forget about it. The biggest risk seems to be surprise afternoon naps with contacts on.
 
I have tried, and I can't do it.
 
Then once it's in there, I have no idea how I would ever get it out of my eye again.
 
FAE
@GraceNote Yeah, it's the name for what happens when you get older and your eye muscles weaken so you can't focus on stuff close up as well anymore.
 
@GraceNote grace note: future predictor
 
@StrixVaria You push your eyelid down into your eye and then up, popping the contact out.
 
4:16 PM
@JasonBerkan Yeah, nope.
 
FAE
@badp And that's the stuff I don't want to bother with. It's easier for me to just do glasses. Also I tend to keep long fingernails.
 
In elementary school kids used to turn their eyelids inside out.
Idiots.
 
FAE
@StrixVaria I don't really have enough eyelid to do that.
 
so yeah, you're welcome everyone for this icky discussion about eyeballs, suction, knives, and lasers.
 
I stopped wearing contacts because of all the extra work. Dealing with glasses takes about 1.5 seconds each day. Contacts ~3 minutes.
 
FAE
4:17 PM
I remember watching other kids do it though.
 
eyeballs and suction should never be used within the same paragraph
 
@StrixVaria I agree 110%.
 
@Wipqozn I vant to succck your eyballllls
2
 
I tried contacts, it was horrible. I didn't succeed in putting them in myself. And having my mom put them in took some time and a lot of concentration from my side because it would jump away.
 
@agent86 You're a monster.
 
4:18 PM
I should put pants on and get food... (inb4 the paperbot shows up randomly to tell me to not put pants on)
 
@agent86 You nearly sound like @OrigamiRobot with his creepy habits.
 
@JasonBerkan That sounds horrifying
 
FAE
My main issue with glasses is picking frames.
It takes me forever to pick frames.
 
@GraceNote It sounds horrifying. In practice it's a quick simple motion.
 
FAE
Plus my options are limited because I have a nickel allergy. :(
 
4:20 PM
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
 
@spugsley Oh, today's the day isn't it?
 
It still sounds horrifying, and in my case, the less contact with my eyes the better in the long run.
 
@Arperum I mean, he is friends with @spugsley, so... Creepiness is expected ;P
 
SHOW. TODAY. OMG
4
 
Ohai
 
4:20 PM
@FAE My last two eyeglasses had thin/invisible frames, those with the nylon cord thing at the bottom keeping the lens in place. It lets me essentially cop out of the whole fashion problem.
 
@FAE Last time I went to pick a new frame I tried on nearly the whole shop.
 
ITS HAPPENING
 
FAE
@badp I was looking at some like that, but the arms were nickel. :(
 
@FAE :/
 
FAE
@Arperum It took me like an hour this summer...
@badp The majority of glasses frames have at least some nickel in them.
 
4:21 PM
@FAE I wore the same frames for years, had the lenses replaced, and then when the frames failed I had them special-order frames that looked nearly identical. side note: I am bad at buying shoes as well.
@spugsley break a leg!
 
How did your frames fail?
 
FAE
@spugsley Good luck!
@agent86 I hate buying shoes.
 
@GraceNote they were just worn out, if I recall. I think the paint was flecking off of them
 
@FAE I kinda need to get new glasses. These are kinda bad, but I don't want to go shopping again.
 
4:22 PM
@agent86 If @spugsley comes back and says "GUYS I BROKE MY LEG :(", I am blaming you.
 
@agent86 buying clothes for me typically means either picking an okay design for a tshirt online or buying the first thing that fits and running away fast NO REGRETS.
 
@Unionhawk ME TOO
 
this doesn't work very well with shoes.
SHOE REGRETS
 
@spugsley Break off the larger part of a wishbone!
 
@Unionhawk this is acceptable. I think she still owes me some karma from previous incidents, so, yeah.
 
FAE
4:23 PM
@Arperum I have this feeling about glasses, shoes, and clothes.
 
I don't buy clothes. I send my wife. I figure she has to look at them more than I do
 
FAE
@agent86 My last pair of glasses was nickel, and I had to constantly paint them with clear nail polish to stand wearing them.
 
and when I buy shoes, i buy ones that fit, which is kind of a challenge given my shoe size
 
@agent86 so you buy her clothes?
@agent86 I did that and they fit in the store and didn't fit months later.
 
@badp nope, she does that too. she's not caught on yet that she's got the short end of this proverbial stick.
 
4:24 PM
OKAY. I GO NOW. BYE. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
 
Oh gosh I think the trolls finally found the Creationism chat room.

 Creationism vs. ☐

Ongoing discussion related to Creationism
 
@RedRiderX Are they at least fun trolls?
 
@FAE I am in a situation where more clothes aren't immediately needed, I have enough pants, 50+ bandshirt and a few sweaters. I really need new shoes though.
 
@badp I have like EEEE width feet, so there tend to be 1-2 brands that make shoes that fit me, and usually only one or two styles. it's typically pretty easy. they fit like a dream, though.
 
@badp Unfortunately no.
 
4:24 PM
@agent86 wat
 
@spugsley BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
 
@badp They are 12 page long trolls
 
All I know about shoe sizes is mine is 42
 
FAE
@Arperum Shoes are important! They affect your entire posture.
 
@spugsley break both legs!
 
4:25 PM
and the only reason I know it's 42 is because LOL FORTYTWO
 
@badp Holy shit tha-- oh Europe -.-
 
@FAE I know, but shopping for shoes is horrible. I get sick from clothesshops and shoeshops.
 
@badp in EU sizing these are 47.5
 
FAE
@Unionhawk At least in Europe, Men's and Women's sizes are the same.
 
Okay, I'll give you that.
 
4:25 PM
@agent86 huh. remind me never to try and stomp your feet.
 
I don't know if shoes there have "wide" widths, but I tend to be "wider than wide"
 
FAE
@Arperum Yeah, I get worn out too, unless they're certain kinds of stores.
 
No, I don't think I've ever seen a width rating on shoes
Sorry.
 
@badp do you think the meme was in bad taste?
I'm not sure now
 
@RedRiderX which?
 
4:26 PM
here there are letters that go from A to E and then we just keep adding E's until it sounds like you're screaming
 
in the UK, kids' shoes have widths in letters
 
@RedRiderX In order to tell I'd have to read the whole shebang. I'll pass.
 
@FAE The soles of my current shoes are kind of falling apart since last summer >_<. I went and got these because the previous pair was literally falling apart.
 
My EU shoe size is 44.5
 
4:27 PM
@badp Heh yeah I had the same reaction
 
FAE
@Arperum That's no good, man.
 
Creationism vs evolution is a subject where I'm quite well happy to remain completely ignorant
 
@FAE I know. But shoeshops...
 
both on the arguments side and on the who's on either side of the argument
 
the previous time I bought shoes, i bought 4 pair of the same ones, just so I didn't have to shop again for a few years
 
4:28 PM
do not want, do not care, do not ask, do not tell
 
FAE
@Arperum You could end up with back pain!
@agent86 I should've done this with the last pair of sneakers I got. I was in the US though on a visit, and I always have to worry about luggage weight.
 
@FAE mumbles shoeshops mumbles
 
@FAE :(
 
FAE
@agent86 Paying $100 extra for another bag sucks.
 
at least nowadays once you find a good brand/model you can just order in bulk via the interwebs
 
4:30 PM
Now, assuming I have succeeded in making @Arperum fall out of his chair at the stupid, I MUST GO self defenestrates
 
@Unionhawk I didn't need you for that. I went to get wood to fuel my stove some more and placed it aside of the stove, I seemingly assumed it would throw itself into the stove or something.
 
@Unionhawk dat voice compression
 
Also, @StrixVaria - have four kids and then your point of view may change. That is all.
 
FAE
@JasonBerkan On eyeballs?
 
@FAE No, the other conversation.
 
FAE
4:44 PM
@JasonBerkan ...the use of a diaeresis for notation of consecutive vowels to indicate separate syllables?
 
@FAE Yes. Very much this. Teaching kids to read makes you understand that English is the stupidest language ever.
 
@jmfsg re: this. It's quite enjoyable so far. Quite a few bridge members have picked it up.
 
FAE
@JasonBerkan Aaah, gotcha.
@JasonBerkan Reminds me of that old joke that "fish" can be spelled "ghoti".
 
@RedRiderX OH GOD NO THE CREATIONISTS ARE IN THE CHAT. HIDE!
 
Good morning, Bridge!
2
 
4:55 PM
@SaintWacko I see through your attempt.
It will not be rewarded.
 
No I'm actually feeling quite great this morning
 
@JasonBerkan Oh I already know that English is the worst.
 
I hate Pro*C, and wish it would burn in a fire!
 
If you hear a word you don't know in English, you have almost zero indication about how it's spelled.
 
@kalina get on that, would you?
 
4:58 PM
@SaintWacko Damn you, Bridge!
 
@FEichinger DEFY
someone else star that, for maximum @FEi annoyance
inb4 ignore

@FEichinger INB4
It's like a 30 minute suspension, in that it's temporary, but I can still speak. (though I'm sure @FEi would gladly throw a suspension at me if he could)
(because he hates me >:( )
 
@Unionhawk Giving @FEi mod powers would result in stupid high amounts of suspensions.
 
Not true at all!
 
5:02 PM
I'd get banned more often. As in, more often than never.
 
Psh, I don't ban people.
 
Ha, FAKE IGNORE
FAKER
LIAR
!
 
I much prefer flagging them and letting the minions of people-who-are-not-even-in-the-room ban them instead.
 
Oh, you checked the transcript -.-
I see how it is
...
 
@FEichinger just admitted to being the flag troll!
 
5:04 PM
@Arperum Yes, of course I'm the flag troll.
 
@Arperum You didn't know that?
 
@Unionhawk I just felt the need to mention it again.
 
Seriously, though, I flag a lot of stuff when people should know better. Such as GnomeSlice posting boobs again, or Wandang not getting the difference between a quote and posting the same thing yourself.
 
@FEichinger That's not flaggtrolling. That's using the system like it is supposed to be.
 
@Arperum Hence the "Seriously, though, ..."
 
5:06 PM
Stop pinging my work laptop across the room! it's annoying.
 
@Arperum You really ...
@Arperum ... should know better ...
@Arperum ... than to tell me ...
@Arperum ... not to ping ...
@Arperum ... you.
 
Wait are we pinging @Arperum?
 
@FEichinger I will remember @FEi! And ping you on random hours!
 
@KevinvanderVelden Yes, we're pinging @Arperum.
@Arperum Meh, three letter pinging just gets you ignored. :P
 
@FEichinger But then again, for how long?

A: Should Software Video Game Input Questions Be On-Topic?

badp Arqade is for passionate videogamers from all platforms, including consoles, computers, handhelds, and mobile devices. If your question generally covers things such as … Gameplay strategies and tactics check Puzzle solving or obstacle clearing check Game mechanics and terminology c...

I've completely rewritten my answer to debunk FEichinger's answer.
Because it's so wrong it threatens to destroy the entire fabric of the website.
 
They replaced Drowzee's Psychic with Headbutt.
I knew there was a reason this was amazing.
 
I'm not aware of videogames that works in a peer-to-peer fashion, but they probably exist.
 
@badp most RTS games? sortof
 
user4704
Rise of Legends was totally peer-to-peer.
 
Okay, even rushing crop fields and pastures and all manner of food production still doesn't solve my food production problems.
What the friggin' hell.
 
5:15 PM
In order to outlaw Twitch Plays Pokemon, we have tried in turn to outlaw every game with a menu ever, every game with a community ever, every hidden object game ever and now every multiplayer game ever
This is ridicolous, please stahp.
There is nothing to lose in being inclusive.
 
> When I play World of Warcarft, I open the World of Warcraft application (green) and give commands at it (blue arrow leftwards).
 
I think the "blue arrow leftwards" bit may be wrong
 
@Yuki Use gatherers
They're a great constant source of food
 
5:19 PM
@SaintWacko My production seems to go dead in the winter, except for my hunters
fishers and gatherers seem to hang around not doing much
 
@Sconibulus How much cropland do you have?
 
@SaintWacko zero!
 
You should get a ton of food in the autumn
@Sconibulus ...I thought you just said you were rushing it
Wait
What year is this?
 
@SaintWacko Yuki is rushing it
and like Year 4?
 
@Sconibulus Oh, wups
Okay, yeah, you should have crops by now
They're a huge help
A couple good sized fields will get you 2-3k food in the autumn
 
5:22 PM
I need my trade post to finish first I think
I built everything all out of order, my first game
 
@Sconibulus Oh, are you playing on hard difficulty?
Where you don't start out with seeds
 
confused trade post and market
I guess? I think I started with the default.
there weren't seeds initially, but I had tools and clothes
 
@Sconibulus Did you start with a barn?
 
@SaintWacko Umm... maybe? There was a building with tools and clothes and potatoes
 
@GnomeSlice that reminds me i need to play dark sector at some point
 
5:25 PM
I can't remember if it was a barn or a storeroom or something
 
@Blem I've heard it's pretty bad.
 
(it is on my laptop at home, and I'm currently at work)
 
@Sconibulus Then you have a couple seeds
 
oh... I must have eaten them before I noticed them
 
5:26 PM
@GnomeSlice It turned in to Warframe so can't be all bad
 
@Blem Oh, did Warframe come out of dark sector?
 
@Sconibulus You can't eat them
 
@RedRiderX ...
 
There did it right
 
5:27 PM
Ah
 
my clipboard is derping apparently.
 
My understanding is that Warframe is the game they wanted to make, but the money men pushed some stuff on them and Dark Sector came out of it
so they share a lot of concept art
 
@SaintWacko oh... I'll hunt them down when I get home then
 
@Blem Well, you can get Dark Sector for $2 right now, if you're interested in playing it. bundlestars.com/all-bundles/reboot-bundle-1
 
I already got it
 
@GraceNote about 30 years younger, at least
 
@GraceNote Not right.
 
@GnomeSlice Wow, that was harder to find in the transcript than I thought.
So yeah, not going to yell at you for repost.
 
I will
 
5:37 PM
Apparently searching "before" or "after" will not show results with the term "before-and-after".
Makes sense.
 
This is for you @GnomeSlice rest of you might find it NSFW so you should stay away
 
See you tomorrow guys. Please stop destroying the site.
 
@MBraedley I haven't set fire to anything or anyone in a month.
@badp who is destroying what?
you mean problems are happening and I'm not involved?
that's literally the best news I've heard all day.
 
@Yuki Yeah, I was trying to figure out how to find that
 
@kalina I've solved the problem, but that still doesn't mean I don't want Pro*C to die in a fire.
 
5:53 PM
@SaintWacko I ended up having to search the transcript manually.
 
@Yuki Search for "imgur" by user 42321, sort by newest.
 
:13883506 D'awww
 
There we go. I'm going to start uploading all pictures I don't post as replies. That'll make them easier to search (just use "i.stack" or "imgur" like @FEichinger said).
 
@Ullallulloo Hey look, it's me!
I'm such a dancing machine.
