Who are you giving prints to? People who bought them at your show?

@AshleyNunn IDK, this one makes me laugh ...

David M

@AshleyNunn Tropical punch?

FRUIT PUNCH

Jason Berkan

Kool-Aid tastes like sugar, regardless of the actual flavour.

Unionhawk

THAT

user15026

@DavidM That's kinda what I thought, based on the red. Let's see what I get.

user15026

@JasonBerkan Nope. I don't use all the sugar, though, so I know each one tastes not-the-same.

GnomeSlice

21:19

@AshleyNunn I'm so excited to find out. Is that weird? lol

spugsley

@Unionhawk is there a reason you are typing in all caps today?

user15026

@spugsley No, I am too! That's why I bought it! (Seriously i love living near the weston bread factory. I got bread for 50 cents, fancy cookies for 75 cents, and the packets of koolaid for 25 cents each.)

Unionhawk

@TwiNight probably because the non-pro needed an upgrade and they went with a bigger upgrade for it first. I'd imagine they'll upgrade the Pro eventually as well.

@Chippies Turns out the Pro is already out and the Blade is ~4weeks

@BenBrocka wat

Ben Brocka

that is NOT the peak

Chippies

@TwiNight I haven't read much about their release dates, but I do know a lot of people were confused about their choices of GPUs.

badp

@SaintWacko sigh

SaintWacko

@badp Hm?

Chippies

21:32

@TwiNight but it makes sense, because the old non-pro was very average, not that great compared to other options, so they pushed the 14" Blade far ahead of other 14"ers.

SaintWacko

@BenBrocka oh my

badp

@GraceNote Since when has that stopped anything or anybody at all?

Ben Brocka

oh, it is the peak

but yeah, not happening

@Chippies That creates a dilemma for me...... The Pro now, or the Blade later......

Grace Note

@badp Here. Right now.

Chippies

@TwiNight isn't Pro 17" ? and Blade 14"?

wouldn't that be kinda a huge factor in your decision?

badp

@GraceNote Uff. Now we have to delete this day from the calendar.

Q: Is the Mayan/Templar Amour just cosmetic?

Since unlike in Assassin's Creed 2 your health increase when you craft items and all the outfits you can obtain seem to be just cosmetic. Since the Mayan/Templar Armour are equipped from the same menu as all the other outfits do they have any in game benefits?

user15026

And I quote: "The series of tests will include the following:
Cardiovascular intake
Static pushing and pulling at various heights and positions
Dynamic lifting and carrying with progressive weight loading
Step test
Functional dexterity testing
Positional tolerance testing"

Chippies

@TwiNight do you need it to be very portable?

TwiNight

@Chippies I guess I can wait a month

spugsley

21:42

@AshleyNunn is it good or not so much?

badp

@AshleyNunn "Positional tolerance testing." Does that involve walking in a straight line with a pile of books on your head? Finally your librarian training will prove helpful!

Chippies

@TwiNight I got MSI GT70 with a 770M and it's running everything maxed out, minus AA in some games at 1080p. I love this beast of a machine, but it's almost 4kg and it's huge.

user15026

@spugsley It's definitely not any flavour I have had before but I like it.

Chippies

@TwiNight and MSI has released the GTX 8xx series models as well

user15026

@badp I honestly have no idea, but perhaps! FINALLY MY LIBRARY EXPERIENCE IS HELPFUL!

Chippies

21:43

but if you gonna be lugging it around all the time, say for university and whatnot, I probably wouldn't recommend it. MSI GS70 is good though, not sure if there's a model with 870M however...

TwiNight

@Chippies If I wanted beasts like that I would have gone for an Alienware

badp

@AshleyNunn Hey, I'm sure the skill points you poured into dewey decimals have come in handy at least twice and thrice so far.

Jason Berkan

@AshleyNunn Functional dexterity testing will require walking on ice.

TwiNight

@Chippies Blade seems to be the better choice than Pro then

user15026

@badp Library of Congress, thank you very much

badp

21:44

@JasonBerkan What about water?

Jason Berkan

@badp Um, Canada...

user15026

@JasonBerkan I presume falling on my ass would be an automatic fail?

badp

@AshleyNunn Worst books.

Chippies

@TwiNight alienware is overpriced. My friend has an alienware with GTX765M, 1600x900 screen and he paid 400$ more than I did for my MSI and mine runs quieter and cooler.

Jason Berkan

All water is frozen here.

SaintWacko

21:44

badp

@JasonBerkan Sounds like cheating

Jason Berkan

@AshleyNunn Only if you manage to not bend the "Do Not Bend" letters while falling.

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn Just lift your feet straight up and put them straight down instead of pushing on the ground

Chippies

@JasonBerkan the "Do Not Bend" stickers you mean, right? The letter can be bent!

badp

@AshleyNunn I think it's time to dust off Mario Party

user15026

21:46

@SaintWacko That helps?

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn Yeah

It looks funny, but it helps a lot

Jason Berkan

@Chippies Yeah, I changed that sentence twice and it still doesn't say what I wanted it to. I meant that success would be bending the letters while falling on your ass.

SaintWacko

Like lift a foot up, move it forward, and then put it down. If you pay attention when normally walking, you'll see that when you take a step you kinda push off with a foot, and that can make you slip on ice

Ronan Forman

@AshleyNunn Ice walking is a difficult skill to master.

Jason Berkan

I shuffle on ice.

Small steps == less force.

user15026

21:48

@RonanForman The number of bruises I have gained this winter (including the excellent straight line bruise I have currently from a curb) is testament to that
