@LessPop_MoreFizz @AshleyNunn Why do we always have to yell!? :(
@GnomeSlice Have you been watching Tested by chance? They talked about that on last weeks Still Untitled :D
@James I feel the need to announce my presence with a dramatic entrance is all. Think of me as Kramer; since I can't fall through the door, I step in and yell "HI CHAT" before returning to a normal conversational tone.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh, Well he is not really yelling just a bit exclaimed and the like.. You can use !! instead of ! if you feel it should have that much more pzazz ... is that reallllly how you spell that!? LOL :D
@James 1) It's pizazz.
2) I am not saying I am emulating Kramer, I am saying to use that as a reference point. He fell in. I yell. It's my thing. It's what I do. It's who I am.
00:31
It's because @LessPop_MoreFizz is always using AutoCad when he first joins chat.
AutoCAD is the worst
That name never made sense to me actually
Auto usually means Automatic
CAD is Computer Assisted Drawing
Aaargh no
He finally uploads a new video and this happens!?
@RedRiderX Studio C Anal??? Weird viewing choices man..
00:43
@James It probably takes the Auto from Autodesk.
@Coronus An Automatic Desk isnt improving the situation! :D
HI GUYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I MISS DIABLO
I HAVE BEEN READING COMICS
Hmm time to hide from some more autocad users :D
I WILL AUTOCAD YOUR FACE
what the?
00:51
seriously someone google "How to overcome Diablo withdrawl"
the struggle is real
@spugsley keeps snide remarks to himself :)
@spugsley Google says "play goat simulator"
hides
@Unionhawk :O
@Unionhawk I am going to punch you right in heart
@Unionhawk you know what you should do?
@Unionhawk google "pig poop balls"
NOT AT HOME
NOBODY HERE
I mean, er
00:55
you wont be sorry
I probably will
@James nah I'm good
@spugsley kk :)
Well that joke was decidedly not worth it.
I blame @FEichinger
00:56
me too
Has he deleted his Doge question yet?
okay back to reading Marvel Ultimates since I CANT PLAY DIABLO UNTIL WEDNESDAY
@spugsley Why not?
@James I'm visiting family in MD and have been reduced to using a tablet ;.;
@spugsley Play something else.
00:59
@spugsley Ahhh, makes sense Happy Reading!
@Frank eh I'm not big on most tablet/mobile games
@spugsley It'll let you kick the Diablo habit, at least for a bit, though.
@Frank I think I'm just going to read comics :3
@spugsley I'm just gonna continue playing D3 and watching SG-1. :P
Has anyone mentioned what an abomination mobile is lately?
01:05
Two legendary plans in under half an hour. Me likey.
@spugsley Are you going to go see Only Lovers Left Alive this weekend?
Because it looks pretty great ^
And, well, because it is in line with some of your other interests as well.
link is sfw
that's actually pretty amazing

How do I un-buy bitcoin?
@LessPop_MoreFizz Heh, that was in the "What if google was a guy" video.
Near the end, I think.
There's a guy who keeps asking about bitcoin
"unbuy bitcoin"
Is that a thing @LessPop_MoreFizz?
@GnomeSlice No.
It's an expression of regret.
Oh.
Did they steal it from the video then

@AshleyNunn Apology Accepted :)

@AshleyNunn grats! Working from home? Or is there an office of some shape?
user15026
@Yuki I still don't believe it is real, but I sure will when I wake up monday, because I've not seen that early in very long.
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz There is an office, but I can also work from home sometimes if I want/need to. Monday is training at the office, which is a nice 15 min walk from my house
@Ashley good. I was going to suggest that my prior advice is not 100% irrelevant now if it is full time work from home is all.
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, I figured :)

Oh boy he's back
Interesting graphics
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Still, impressive.
@AshleyNunn It's the difference between holding the all time record for the 100 meter dash in your high school, versus holding the world record for the 100 meter dash in the olympics. Every high school has a record holder, somebody that's done the former. It's impressive, and a great accomplishment, but also not really news outside the community. Only a few dozen people have ever held the latter record, or ever will. When it happens, each time, it's a Big Deal.
(In ~113 years of professional baseball, in which each team (and there are two dozen of them now, and have always been in the double digit numbers of them) plays 162 games in each of those years, only 21 of those games have been perfect. It's RARE.)
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz I am not arguing that?
03:43
@AshleyNunn I know, I just felt like baseball nerding out slightly.
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Fair enough :) It is not a sport I know all that well. I know the basics of it but that is it really
Basically, ~.012% of all games ever played have been perfect. I've been to two of them and feel super lucky about that fact.
(I have freak baseball luck. It is A Thing.)
Now I am going to watch Review and go to bed.
Also, you should watch Review because it is really funny.
(Basically, a dude decides to start an internet show in which he 'reviews' various life experiences on a scale of one to five stars. Experiences such as "Becoming a Criminal", "Hunting", "Cocaine Addiction", "Pancakes", "Being a Racist", "Orgies", etc.)
I'm sure it's blocked in Canada but on some other Canadian website instead because your country is terrible terribly weird.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yep, unavailable from my location.
Stupid.
03:50
I'm sure it's mirrored on whatever canadian comedy centrals website is because local advertising nonsense
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz I can't watch it now, because unblock-us doesn't work on non-mac/win but I will check it out tomorrow when I am home
user15026
Because it sounds vaguely interesting

Q: How do I unlock level 25 of Far Future?

JoshDMI've been playing Plants vs. Zombies 2, and have made it to the end of Far Future. I've beaten all 75 prior levels of Ancient Egypt, Pirate Seas, and Wild West, and the 24 levels leading up to the turnip of Far Future. The path from the turnip to the 25th level is missing. Is something wrong?

Q: Level 15 (exceptionalCrossing.js)?

SchilcoteI'm stuck on Level 15 of Untrusted. I've gotten this far with no actual knowledge of Javascript beyond knowing C and assuming things are the same. I see no possible solution to this puzzle without some trick of the language I don't know about- no matter what I put in there, player.killedBy() is ...

04:50
@LessPop_MoreFizz I never knew eating 15 pancakes was only a half a star out of five. I wonder what @OrigamiRobot would say about that...
@fluttershy I just love the running continuity of his life spiraling out of control across the reviews.
I'm definitely going to have to watch full episodes of this when I finish everything else I'm working on.
There's only 6 to date, so not a massive backlog or anything.
05:10
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh, that's not so bad. I may watch it after I finish season 3 of The Walking Dead then.
7 this time next week though! (season 1 is airing now!)
Also, for @Origamirob's benefit, it ought to be noted that while Eating 15 Pancakes only gets half a star, Eating 30 Pancakes got Five Stars.
I'm not even sure how that makes sense, but I like it.
It does in context.

DanielI've completed the Thieves Guild questline, and when a guard attempts an arrest there is a dialogue option that says, paraphrased, "I'm with the guild. Will this clear my bounty?

Q: Crusader Kings II - attacking from the sea

SunspawnI tried to wage war with France from Scotland, but for some reason I could not attack from the sea tile, while an allied army was. How do I attack from the sea? In general, why can't I land on blocks that are not mine?

@MartinSojka pick real ones!
but mix them up
Instead of "Burton on Trent" and "Stow on the Wold" and "Burnham by Sea" have "Burton by Sea", "Stow on Trent" and "Burnham on the Wold"
I already have them, mostly. Places like "Montfort" (it's a town founded around a military installation on top of a major hill), "Elvingsham" (there was once a hamlet of Elves here), "Boscott" (a cottage of cattle farmers around which a village slowly grew) and so on.
@MartinSojka but there are literally all the place names in the world. how can you run out?
It just takes a lot of time to come up with those before you say "screw it, the reminder is just Markton, Toniton, Louiston, Thomton and Newton."
although, to be fair, British settlers are pretty univentive. "New York"? really? that's best you could do?
and not just once, but several times?
09:58
@MattЭллен It was originally "nieuw amsterdam"
Blame the Dutch.
@Arperum it was, so the Dutch aren't anymore inventive!
@MartinSojka well, to be fair, medieval people aren't very smart, so all their towns can have the same name :D

Q: why won't my minecraft password reset email come through?

AnonymousI keep trying to get the mojang/minecraft password resest email to come but it never does. I've done it milions of times now and it's been two days but it still hasn't come through. I know I've done the email right and everything.

@MartinSojka how about Onett, Twoson, Threed and Fourside?
bonus points if you go all the way up to Eleventy
10:20
@MartinSojka are you lookign for English-sounding placenames?
@MattЭллен Mostly. It's a bit more complicated though: The area is on the southern edge of cultures which you could roughly translate as "Germanic or English" and "French", so Breton, Saxon and Norman names are fine - but for example Welsh or Scottish aren't.
I see. cool
(And by the way of history, there's a reminder of a culture speaking basically Ukrainian and they left their mark on the landscape and in the local names as well)

Q: Team strategies and rotations for premade 5v5 games

TobySome friends and me compete in 5v5 tournaments and the 5v5 ranked ladder.

> The most disturbing incident occurred in April 2008 when three different managers failed to interject when sales manager Brent Hopkins — moments before he was about to begin Cromwell’s performance review — told the others to clear the room because “it’s time for a lynching.”
> Hopkins also referred to Cromwell in front of customers as Condoleezza Rice, the former U.S. secretary of state, and touched her hair, telling her it felt “like wool.”
@badp that's what the battle.net loader seemed to imply a couple of days ago.

> Did she try to go the legal route, failed and pursued the HRC tribunal?

> If she went straight for Human rights tribunal then I have a hard time believing the story. Sounds like someone that couldn't hack it at a management level and was sour that she couldn't compete.
Let's play spot the racist!
Oh, there they are!
If only racists could acquire some kind of natural camouflage so they'd at least SHUT THE FUCK UP
@MattЭллен well, it was replaced by Heroes of the Storm.
> Garnetta Cromwell would like the word "lynching" to be considered racist.
Even though Lynch was originally the proper name of a white man.
Let's play spot the complete idiot racist!
Let's get the racist bingo on the way
"hey guys, this word originally has nothing to do with racism, so it can never be considered racist in any context ever."
11:21
@badp hmmmm
I'm waiting for the first person to say "Hey! The jews were originally slaves, that means it's okay to call african-americans slaves!"
> The story goes, if you are white and are fired for just cause, you better start looking for another job, if you are black and fired for just cause, you start looking for the human right commission.
Oh look, another one!
> When you know a little bit more about the issue, that "lynching" remark sounds like it could have been intended to indicate that the performance review was going to be pretty tough on Ms. Cromwell, perhaps not racially motivated at all.
@badp I think I remember it said something about Hearthstone on Wednesday. But I don't remember so good.
11:23
Which still isn't appropriate. The results of a performance evaluation are confidential. You don't announce to your entire staff "this persons eval is going to go horribly".
Also, Transistor gets a price and a release date - 20USD and May 20th: supergiantgames.com/index.php/2014/04/…

Q: Dark Souls 2 Undead Crypt Question

RossCI'm at the Undead Crypt and the Can I stop this from happening at all?

@Wipqozn Well, that depends on the context. I don't think anybody here in Germany considers that word (well, "Lynchen" and generalised "Lynchjustiz") as racist for example - just the activity itself as not as a particularly nice thing to do. How do the Canadians view it? No idea. Was that form of mob "justice" a big problem there? I thought it was mostly limited to the southern US member states.
@MartinSojka Did you read the relevant quote?
Context is very important, I agree. Location too. Also, comparing words across two different languages is just...silly.

Q: My xbox 360 first model doesnt want to play games only movies after i replace the dvd rom

Ohlwinplease help me fix my xbox 360 it only plays dvd and not gaames after I replace the Rom

And exactly because the same quote, in the same context, translated into German would mean just something along the lines of "it's time to give that person a devastating review and I won't be holding back", I'm wondering about how it seems to be even worth attention in Canada (I could see it being the wrong words to chose for southern USA, of course).
Because Canadian and USA culture are very connected historically, especially with african americans due to the existence of the underground rail road.
Hell, the English-language Wikipedia article for lynching doesn't even have a paragraph for Canada.
I've only eve rheard Lynching in Canada/USA used in reference to african lynchings in the south.
Also, considering I'm from the exact same province this happened I think I have a much better perspective on the issue than you.
I don't need to consult wikipedia to know the connotation a word has here...because I love and grew up here.
Obviously. I'm just trying to understand how this connotation came to be, given that we likely had more lynchings in Germany in the last century than Canada ever.
I guess the stories carried with the underground rail road explain a lot though.
That'...not the impression I got at all.
But I can't give you a history lesson on why the word came to be in Canada, because I'm not an expert.
All I know is that lynching has negative connotations in Canada because it's associated with african lynchings. I've never heard the word used in any other context, and it's not a description people just use for describing something.

Q: How is the fully stocked floor bonus calculated?

lemontwistHow is the floor bonus (coins) determined when a floor is fully stocked? Is it random or algorithmic?

@Wipqozn huh. Here it just means "generic beating by angry mob"
("linciare"/"linciaggio")
@badp No clue, I think so, but I never payed attetion to the game.
11:56
@badp Same. Those who know their history knows the origin of the word, but otherwise there's no reason why it must specifically refer to the lynching of African-Americans during that period of time
I was unaware how different the word was across other cultures.
@Wipqozn CHECK YOUR NORTH AMERICAN PRIVILEGE, TURTLE
@badp I'm such a horrible perosn
@Wipqozn yes, but this is nothing new
but like I said, the culture where you guys live is completely irrelevant, considering I'm talking about a case in North America.
11:58
58 secs ago, by badp
@Wipqozn CHECK YOUR NORTH AMERICAN PRIVILEGE, TURTLE
@Wipqozn Pffft, culture relativism. Or something.
Well, it's relevant insofar as we required some further explanation of why this specific Brent Hopkins' ejaculation was considered such a racist remark.
@MartinSojka Yes, it's relevant to your understanding of it. what I'm saying is debating the merits of this was offensive based on your culture is irrelevant. The only culture that matters is the culture where the remarks were mdae.
If this happened in germany then my culture is completely irrelevant to determining how the comments should be judged.
STOP BRINGING LOGIC TO THE MATTERS OF BEING AWFUL HUMAN BEINGS
only awful human beings bring log--- oh. I see what you did there
If something happens in Germany where others don't understand why it's such a big deal (as is often the case with things regarding privacy and surveillance), I'm more than happy to explain the detailed social and historical background though.

Q: Minecraft: problems with the EE3 minium stone and the Build craft auto crafing table

09stephenbWhen i put a minium stone in a auto crafting table it wont place in. I am using 1.5.2. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix or an alternative mod. Thanks for any help.

@MartinSojka I am too. Wondering why it was offensive just wasn't the impression I got from you at all.
So if I came across as hostile because i misjudged your intention, my apologies.
@Wipqozn I'm sorry for my not particularly ideal grasp of the English language then. To my defence, it is the fifth I learned and we're in a text-only medium, where nuances are hard to convey.
Being in person wouldn't help reading the written piece of news anyway

have blizzard given starcraft 2 away for free?
at any rate I wasn't trying to say that it's not racist. S/he probably could've used a different word and it still would've been racist.
12:06
@Alex Partially.
user58869
@MartinSojka i vaguely remember buying that game a long time ago... do you think I should have waited?
@Alex The starter edition appears to allow access to SC2 engine mods
@Alex Given that I'm still not buying anything Blizzard does until they reverse their position on the legality of Battle.net emulators, I'm the wrong person to ask.
@MartinSojka Of all the reasons to "boycott" Blizzard, that one seems silly.
user58869
@MartinSojka what is a battle.net emulator? are you talking about some kind of match making service?
user58869
12:09
i know what battle net is, that is, i think that it's a single sign on, community thing
@badp what? Wanting to be able to play your games when blizzard decides not to support them?
@badp Well, I'm a kinda big fan of open source and open protocols and don't particularly care for companies which fight against those using broken laws like the DMCA and hitting small-time developers with a small army of lawyers.
@KevinvanderVelden why just Blizzard? this is a problem with pretty much every modern day games and platforms ever
bnetd is a software package that was reverse engineered from Blizzard Entertainment's Battle.net online multiplayer gaming service, providing near-complete emulation. The software allows users to create and play games on their own servers, instead of Battle.net servers. Released under the terms of the GNU General Public License, bnetd is free software. Due to a United States lawsuit won by Blizzard against bnetd's original developers, they no longer maintain or host bnetd. CD key non-interoperability Blizzard games are packaged with unique codes. CD keys are entered, but not verifi...
@badp yes, I'm not boycotting blizzard though, I do think that's a pretty decent reason for it
12:10
I'm just saying, if somebody developed, say, a Steam servers emulator, I don't think Valve would sit pretty on their hands. Microsoft, Sony, etc. would do so likewise, and probably with good cause.

oh i get it, so it's like being able to play world of warcraft without a battle.net account, something you can't do according to their terms i think

user58869
they shouldn't force people to go online to play games
I mean, given enough work you could just hook up the Steam client to an alternative server that's just a glorified warez download system.
12:12
@Alex They don't. The people can simply not buy the games and not play them at all!
@Sterno It's okay, because people who do buy the games won't be able to play them at all given enough time!
@Sterno They do, in order to play the game they force you to go online
He's not saying they are forcing people to play the game and be online, he's saying they're forcing the if games -> online
@KevinvanderVelden I honestly disagree; it's a weird point to make. Companies shouldn't just tolerate people building server emulators; they should just be required release the actual servers when they decide to stop hosting them.
@badp and I would agree with such a law/initiative! Unfortunately as they have already shown this is not what is happening and the community has to make emulators themselves
I missed most of the context for this discussion but in general I disagree with the notion that game companies owe you a way to play the game in the manner you desire, which is how I read that.
12:15
... and that's the reason why the only online store I use now is GOG, which saves me the trouble to look through the fine print to see what kind of online service combination I'll have to bind myself to just to play.
If people choose not to buy the game due to the online restrictions, great! Working as intended!
@Sterno Not buying things is perfectly fine with me, but I found the reasoning odd, that's all.
(It's just annoying to listen to you Sheeples™ yap about for hours on end about gems legendaries and skills. Or ponies.)
@badp Clean-room reverse engineering algorithms and protocols (and that's what the bnetd guys did) is, as far as I'm concerned, a right, not something companies should be able to take away from us. Any company which actively fights against this right is a company I won't support.
@badp Or Binding of Isaac!
As far as I'm concerned, this issue is way bigger than just games.

@MartinSojka I don't know if it's a right, because I think we should have a stronger right on the "real deal." Allowing backwards-engineered modified servers willy nilly kinda goes against moral rights, or otherwise seems odd to me given that games are covered by copyright.
@MartinSojka wait, isn't clean-room reverse engineering explicitly legal? How did they get it taken down, the "We have money and lawyers and therefore we can do what we want" tactic?
@KevinvanderVelden DMCA.
The piles of money and murders of lawyers did certainly help though.
What did they do? Just claim copyright infringement and get it taken down a la a youtube video? Or the bits about circumventing DRM?
Or should I just look this shit up myself, probably best =p
@MartinSojka hmmmm... s of lawyers...
It was the anti-DRM-circumvention part.

(yes, I know about crows)
Holy fuck wiki.answers.com is the worst site ever o.o
Apparently there are domestic flights from Singapore's Changi Airport
At any rate, the project is now on pvpgn.berlios.de and hasn't been updated in years.
@PrivatePansy So... 30 minutes taxi-ing, 3 minutes flying, 30 minutes taxi-ing again?
@PrivatePansy I'm pretty sure the Scottish can still beat you for the shortest commercial flight route.
12:23
The mind boggles
looks up whether there are domestic flights in holland
@Wipqozn It occasionally comes up in Western movies where a rowdy gang of fellows demand the sheriff turn over some criminal for a lynching, but the sheriff makes his stand to make sure law takes it's due course!
@Sterno ...and just shoots him in the head come noon
Often a trope of the genre, actually.
That was more of less the pilot episode of Deadwood, in fact.
@badp No no no. Hangings. Always hangings.

> Update 2: According to a SilkAir spokesperson, "This is a ferry flight for one of our retired aircraft heading to Paya Lebar Airbase for its sale transaction. It is part of our aircraft fleet renewal as we introduce new Boeing 737-800 aircraft into our fleet."
@Sterno Oh, I'm sorry.
@Sterno gotta save them bullets
It's not a "real" commercial flight, but it's still pretty interesting
Legal executions typically don't aim for the head.
Hard to make sure you killed the right person afterwards ...
12:27
@Sterno The heart, then? Also, I've heard half the firers get blanks so none of them ever know who fired the fatal shot
(Well, before DNA tests anyway)
@PrivatePansy Yes, the heart.
Center of mass.
@MartinSojka I suppose the island is otherwise unreachable?
Can't see why they can't use ferries
perhaps shallow waters and unfeasible lengths for bridges and whatnot/nature reserve in the middle/whatever

In other news, Common Core math is ridiculous.
Every time I see one of those problems I cringe.
Has anyone participated in a reddit gift exchange before?
Nope
Well, yes, many people, but not me
Is it possible to see if the person sending you the gift's tracking code, assuming he or she has added one to the site?
You know, for such a small island Singapore has a surprisingly large number of airbase and airports
@badp No, most people just don't feel like using boats.
@KevinvanderVelden Domestic flights within the Netherlands should be easy to find. Just look up whatever flights there are to and from Sint Maarten.
@MartinSojka Considering the speeds usually involved I can kinda understand that. I might be paying a visit to Venice later this month and if I do about ~4 hours of boat travel awaits me. I'm not particularly excited at the perspective.
12:33
@MartinSojka heh true, there should be plenty of those =p
@badp I thought most people get to Venice on trains
@PrivatePansy Well, yes, but if you want to visit one of the surrounding islands...
The airport there is also pretty cool.
I was wondering more in the main bit of holland :) Which is a bit trickier cause there are quite a few airfields
12:36
@badp Wow, it's like a subway, only with boats
I hope you're not trying to open up Google Maps expecting to be able to find transit information there
Almost all Italian public transit systems snub GMaps for whatever reason
What I've heard is that Milan's transit system has the data but keeps it for itself because Google is "competing with them"
... yeaaaah, sure
@KevinvanderVelden ATM has a wayfinding system. Google has a wayfinding system. Competition!
It makes almost more sense than Comcast's claims
Except neither of them are selling the wayfinding system :D

@badp fascinating

Consider that an unsourced rumour though
I can't be arsed to try and find sources for it

Q: CKII - Bastard campaign

SunspawnI read that if I wait a bit, Harold goes to fight Harald on Stamford bridge and gets his ass messed up in the process. Yet all that happens is that the guy just keeps attacking me, totally ignoring Harald. Why?

Q: What exactly does the chain lightning effect on my Odyn Son do?

SternoLast night I found a legendary mace, Odyn Son. I'm unclear on how it's Chain Lightning ability works, beyond the obvious that there is a 38% chance on hit that it triggers. How is the damage that proc determined? How many enemies can it hit, and at what radius? Is it related to the Wizard's E...

Q: How to determine the correct truck on Election Day: Day 1?

3venticThere are six trucks to choose from. Bain says I should check the open containers in the shipyard to figure out which truck is the right one, but I don't get it. I also found a computer listing the trucks, but the I can't read what each truck is carrying. How do I figure out, which truck is the ...
