@RedRiderX I was as surprised as you are!

RedRiderX

It seems like a very starrable thing.

FEichinger

Because it was graveyard shift ... Kinda.

Arperum

@FEichinger mumbles something about butt smileys :3

FEichinger

@Arperum ಠ_ಠ

Arperum

This morning was deader then usual.

Kevin van der Velden

15:01

@FEichinger it was noon

OrigamiRobot

@FEichinger Yes, that is the weird game, right?

FEichinger

@OrigamiRobot I'm afraid I'm not authorized to answer this question.

Kevin van der Velden

Or the N hours bit is rounded weirdly, it was 11AM

OrigamiRobot

@FEichinger Failure to answer is an answer in itself. ARREST THAT MAN!

Yuki

Time to run from a Pokemon we outlevel by 60 levels.

Arperum

15:04

@Yuki Or waste PP on that thing? Are you mad?

Yuki

They also tried to teach Blizzard. Good thing that didn't happen.

Arperum

Also: your new avatar is terrible. It takes me extra time to register it as you.

StrixVaria

Yuki

Ben Brocka

@StrixVaria I can't decide if the depth of field makes that look neat or weird

Delightfully meaningless garbage

Yuki

@BenBrocka ... There's a conversation economy?

Ben Brocka

It's like the war economy but with buzzwords instead of nanomachines

Arperum

@Yuki I have the same problem with anyone changing their avatar. I recognize people based on the avatar, and secondary on username, if needed.But that's slow and inefficient.

I've had this discussion before, to lazy to dig it up though.

Garan

@Arperum What would happen if i changed MY avatar, seeing as it's a gravatar?

15:16

@Arperum Yeah, I remember. I also wanted an opportunity to post that gif, as I find it friggin' hilarious.

OrigamiRobot

@Arperum It's ok, I just think he's @BenBrocka now.

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot @SexRobot was the best end result of gravatar confusion.

Arperum

@Garan You are not perfectly fixed to your avatar yet, since it looks like @john's avatar. But I would dislike it until I properly remade the association.

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria I don't even remember how that got started.

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot I couldn't tell you and @Frank apart.

OrigamiRobot

15:17

@StrixVaria Oh yea, when I changed to Sinistar.

But where did @SexRobot come from?

Arperum

I still confuse @shanodin for @Frank

StrixVaria

You are a robot, and @fbueckert looks like "fuck".

OrigamiRobot

Ah yes. It's all coming back now.

Arperum

Even though @Frank changed his avatar quite some time ago.

Q: Burnout 3: Weight vs. Speed for Road Rage/Racing

In Burnout 3, the Road Rage game mode, you are tasked with busting other cars. In racing, you are tasked with getting to the finish line fastest, and you can also take out cars. Each car has a weight value and a speed value. My question is, what is the best blend? What gives you the most destr...

@Arperum To a robot, no less.

OrigamiRobot

I still don't like this new happy BMO. I need to find a new one.

Yuki

Although he changed his name too, so we couldn't call him @SexRobot.

OrigamiRobot

I really wish this didn't have Finn's hand in the way.

Here's one from later in the episode I think.

Q: Does Tiny Death Star earn more credits with the game open, or closed?

Do you earn more credits if you're actively playing tiny death star (elevator, etc) or while the game is closed and off?

Frank

So the Ukrainian president has fled, and left a ton of incriminating documents behind, it seems.

GnomeSlice

15:28

Ugh this embed looks awful

Yuki

@Frank Seems par for the course when it comes to falling corrupt governments.

Frank

@Yuki Unfortunately, yes.

All governments are corrupt to one degree or another.

Arperum

@Frank I've seen a picture of a pile of books floating in the water where they were thrown away. And a picture of a hollow gold bread...

GnomeSlice

Frank

Found a timeline of what went down

If anybody else wants to read up on details.

Corrupt politician sees his power crumbling, promptly flees and still insists he's the lawfully elected president.

GnomeSlice

15:39

Garan

Well then. First time I've ever gotten BSoD with this computer.

Kevin van der Velden

@Garan time to burn it to the ground then.

@Frank good timeline

Garan

@KevinvanderVelden Clearly that is the rational and well thought-out course of action.

Kevin van der Velden

Kinda annoying you have to start at the bottom of the page

Frank

@KevinvanderVelden All other timelines I've found are much more abbreviated.

Kevin van der Velden

15:45

@Garan obviously, everyone on the bridge is perfectly rational and thinks everything through.

Garan

@KevinvanderVelden That's why we're here.

Kevin van der Velden

@Frank I like that it starts at 1991, it does set the scene for the rest of the events

Frank

@KevinvanderVelden Yeah. Gives a bit more background, rather than just starting with the president unilaterally killing the EU trade deal.

Arguable, considering you haven't made a "@UNI IS WRONG, LOL" joke

Yuki

Context: Those are the NPCs that got TPP stuck. Both times.

kalina

@Unionhawk nope, I would never say you were wrong unless you were wrong

Unionhawk

Well, then yes, you are excluded from the hating of everyone.

Kevin van der Velden

It happens! Every time he plays Minecraft for example.

FEichinger

@kalina ... So, you're saying I'm a big jerk?

Unionhawk

@FEichinger By the transitive property, I think yes.

Kevin van der Velden

@Frank what? AlexM? I think he was, not 10k+ rep so wouldn't know for sure

Ben Brocka

MGS Ground Zeros physical copies dropped to digital price ($10 cheaper)

Frank

@KevinvanderVelden Pretty sure he was, yeah.

Kevin van der Velden

He did say he was flagged yesterday

in Game Development, 1 hour ago, by Alex M.

guess the people who flagged my message must think they're some hardcore shit for playing flappy bird

Don't know what the context is though

Frank

@KevinvanderVelden I don't think I'd like this guy very much.

Ben Brocka

@KevinvanderVelden The context was referring to Flappy Bird players as a homophobic slur

Kevin van der Velden

16:13

@BenBrocka aaah, I'd probably have flagged that myself then

Garan

That user has called another user a psychopath in the past and demanded the banning of said other user.

Frank

@Garan You're thinking of Alex; I'm apparently the psychopath he's referring to.

OrigamiRobot

@Garan Different guy.

Frank

That's a different user.

Garan

Oops. Oh.

OrigamiRobot

Or girl I guess.

Alex could be a girl's name.

Garan

@Frank You seem sane enough to me.

Unionhawk

That makes it even more potentially creepy

OrigamiRobot

FEichinger

Alex\ is awrxwhathisface and identifies as male.

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot Alex M. is a guy (from his profile)

Frank

16:15

@Garan He's a little butthurt that I figured out his previous username last year, and outed him here.

Since he doesn't have a very good reputation here, due to his own actions.

Hah! @Frank said butthurt. I don't know why, but I find this hilarious.

Frank

Apparently, that's actively conspiring to hurt him. And I should be locked away because I hurt his feelings.

Garan

I only saw the tail end of his tirade but it seemed excessive to me.

@Frank He also seemed to claim that you wanted to harm him IRL? (Which is preposterous)

@Garan I think he was referring to being "bullied" by me outing him. Which caused him emotional distress.

@OrigamiRobot Cat is not allowed on desk.

Garan

@Frank Desk is also not allowed on cat.

OrigamiRobot

@Frank All that means is she doesn't do it while you're around.

Unless your cat is weird.

@OrigamiRobot And she loses interest if I'm not near.

She gets on the desk if I'm gaming on my couch, but more to see me get up and chase her off.

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum belgian fries are worst (and also only called friet, so you can rest easy about that). French fries are much better

Frank

16:53

@KevinvanderVelden Because they're heavily salted?

Arperum

I've once seen some article with a text that was perfectly clear the Belgian people, but would cause tremendous amounts of confusion in the netherlands.
