That's not even a duckface.

Sterno

I concur with @OrigamiRobot.

Origami Robot

It's Resting Bitch Face if anything and I'm not even convinced it's that.

I've got the male version of bitchy resting face.

Q: Resurrect NPC without corpse

I've only recently noticed that the woman who runs Warmaiden's in Whiterun seemingly is missung. Possibly she was killed in the vampire attacks (having dawnguard and all). I do not see her body anywhere so I am looking for some "restore / reset character" command, rather than just "resurrect". A...

badp

@Sterno I thought that was simply known as a grumpy face

Ben Brocka

@Sterno same

Sterno

@badp I figured if I just used "grumpy" for male while it's "bitchy" for women I'd be accused of being sexist.

Ben Brocka

Surprised more people don't understand that not everyone has an eternal smile

badp

13:12

@BenBrocka My English professor in high school did

Arperum

@BenBrocka I have an eternal frown.

badp

It was slightly creepy, and an excellent parody vector

@Sterno I thought the word "bitchy" was sexist to begin with

Sterno

It's only sexist if you let it be sexist!

badp

...

Sterno

Is "asshole" sexist since it is generally applied to men?

badp

13:16

I was just going off the fact that "bitch" is also the name of the female dog

by contrast pretty much everybody has a sphincter

Sterno

Yet typically, for the same traits, you'd call a woman a bitch and a man an asshole, and rarely would you switch the two around.

Origami Robot

Not every sphincter is an asshole.

badp

I hadn't honestly noticed the part about asshole being male-only tbh

Sterno

Maybe I'm wrong. I just don't think I've ever heard a woman referred to as an asshole

badp

I probably never paid it any mind

on this topic - I still haven't understood what about shower caps makes douchebags douchebags

Sterno

13:19

That's another one predominately used for men.

Though by applying something feminine to them. So I'm not sure which way the sexism runs on that one!

badp

@Sterno oh that's the reason?

Sterno

@badp reason for what?

badp

for calling douchebags "shower caps"

Sterno

I've never heard that so I have no idea

badp

No, I mean, douchebag literally mean "shower cap"

AFAIK

douche being shower in french

Kevin van der Velden

13:20

Generally the reason calling someone a bitch is sexist is because it's considered more demeaning then calling someone a dog. i.e. it is considered worse because you are also calling them female

Q: Knockback on Hit with Witch Doctor

I have a Rare Ceremonial Knife (Witch Doctor) with 2.0% Chance to Knockback on Hit. Is this effect triggered by non-melee attacks, such as Firebomb and Firebats? I have not seen any evidence in-game that the effect is triggering when using these two skills.

badp

@KevinvanderVelden you're the man now dog?

Sterno

I don't think that's the definition people are using.

5pike

@badp It's something completely different

Douche

A douche is a device used to introduce a stream of water into the body for medical or hygienic reasons, or the stream of water itself. Douche usually refers to vaginal irrigation, the rinsing of the vagina, but it can also refer to the rinsing of any body cavity. A douche bag is a piece of equipment for douching—a bag for holding the fluid used in douching. To avoid transferring intestinal bacteria into the vagina, the same bag must not be used for an enema and a vaginal douche. Douching after sexual intercourse is not an effective form of birth control. Additionally it is associated ...

Kevin van der Velden

@badp dog can also be derogatory

(another sentence that has caused a lot of confusion in me)

@5pike oh.

Sterno

So, how about that latest <X> Simulator game?

badp

@Sterno It's kind of enigmatic

Kevin van der Velden

How about this for a ~~demonic duck~~ diversion: US military drones are going to start running on linux

Sterno

Oh Dear Jesus

badp

My wife just posted this review on amazon under my account instead of hers:

Kevin van der Velden

Sterno

> Lots of quick, frequent coitus. Scifi wasn't more than what was on the blurb. slapdash ending. Kinda like 3 hours of basic cable.

badp

@KevinvanderVelden wat

Sterno

For a romance novel

Ben Brocka

@KevinvanderVelden if I don't read this will an owl eat me?

Kevin van der Velden

13:24

@BenBrocka as long as you read the owls won't eat you

It doesn't necessarily need to be this

Martin Sojka

@Sterno 9/10, would masturbate to again.

badp

@KevinvanderVelden literacy is important

Ben Brocka

@Sterno fanfiction.txt?

Sterno

It was some book called "The Colonist's Wife"

She likes sci-fi romance novels. Apparently that one was too little sci-fi.

Oh, should probably cc @spugsley

Kevin van der Velden

Also, I figured at least one person would understand the demonic duck reference, I was not dissapointed :)

argh it's half past 3 and it hasn't happened yet

5pike

@badp Not happening today?

badp

@5pike I don't know now if it would be wise to start working on it today

People have mentioned beginners would take 3-4 hours

Martin Sojka

According to the reviews on Goodreads, it's not that bad. Though I hope "... the mining colony of Esther, one of the moons circling Jupiter", in 2088, is just an error in the blurb, not something actually in the book.

badp

granted, we usually have dinner at half past 9

usually packages arrive here around midday-2pm at latest

I wonder if they aren't going to pull a "recipient was not at home" on me

Arperum

@badp You can open the boxes and see how it all should fit together at least :)

Origami Robot

@Sterno Did she laugh at you as a result?

Wipqozn

@badp Sunshine and rainbows.

badp

@Arperum sounds unwise

Martin Sojka

The user-picked genres "Adult Fiction > Erotica" (13), "Romance", "Science Fiction" (11 both), "Fantasy", "Adult", "Romance > Science Fiction Romance" and "Romance > Erotic Romance" (4 each) should give a good idea as to the content as well. :D

Arperum

@badp Why?

badp

@Arperum I mean perhaps I could open the mobo box for the manual

but I'd rather keep everything else safe and sealed

hell I probably could be reading the mobo manual now

5pike

13:34

@badp If it's your first time, yeah, it can take some time. The wiring can be finicky, so take your time and read the manual.

Martin Sojka

What happening?

badp

@MartinSojka The happening

5pike

@MartinSojka badp PC happening

Martin Sojka

Oooooh....

Reminds me, I need to hunt for some nice Raspberry Pi package. Want to try out OpenELEC now that it has a new version with XBMC 13 and stuff ...

badp

Do I want to bother and start downloading the drivers for the pieces I've got?

I mean, Windows should come with most of them already right? in their non-bloatware editions.

Kevin van der Velden

13:37

@badp naah, you'll probably get CDs on them

badp

@KevinvanderVelden I don't have a CD reader handy

except for my laptop's

I've got Windows 8.1 on a USB thing to boot from

Kevin van der Velden

@badp OOH! If you're installing windows 7 (maybe it's fixed in 8) and try to install from an USB stick on a USB3 port it won't work

Just a headsup for the cryptic errors that'll give >.>

badp

hm. Hopefully it's fixed in Windows 8.1

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GnomeSlice Yes and No, and I can't follow up this conversation any further for approximately 11 hours, so I'll see you later.

badp

@KevinvanderVelden What's the error message?

later LPMF

Kevin van der Velden

13:39

Basically "Unable to load drivers, please show me where to find them" or something

Just a generic "Hey I can't load drivers but I don't think it's worth my time to tell you what kind of drivers"

badp

Oh, if it's a drivers thing I can load them into the USB stick

Kevin van der Velden

Which is especially fun given that it CAN ALREADY SEE EVERYTHING

badp

I suppose

I saw the option to do so in the Windows answer file creation thingy

I only have about 300 MB of free space in it but...

Ben Brocka

I thought the USB problem was due to UEFI being shit

badp

The motherboard has dual BIOS (????) which I suppose means no UEFI?

Ben Brocka

13:43

Dual BIOS is so you can fail over to the clean BIOS if the first is damaged

badp

yeah, I mean, it's got BIOS at all, so probably that means no UEFI

Ben Brocka

I can never tell if BIOS means "really BIOS" or "BIOS or UEFI whatever the hell's installed"

badp

no, nevermind

"GIGABYTE UEFI DualBIOS™"

obvious

3ventic

I don't even know what UEFI is

Ben Brocka

@3ventic stupid garbage to lock out non-windows operating systems

badp

13:44

@3ventic it's like BIOS but better and the main/most controversial feature IIRC can verify the bootloader GPG signature

Ben Brocka

non-windows 8 operating systems I might add

3ventic

so it's that new

Kevin van der Velden

@BenBrocka it works with 7 as well IIRC?

badp

@BenBrocka Not really. You can set up GRUB so that it's UEFI protected. You do need to give UEFI a key to check against because no one wants to hold the secret key to all GRUB installations

3ventic

So how do I tell if I have UEFI or not

Ben Brocka

13:46

Maybe it's only x86 that doesn't install on UEFI

I remember having to jump through a couple extra hoops to reinstall win 7 via USB stick on UEFI though

Q: How do you Speed Run a game?

I've been watching some speed running videos on youtube of Zelda games. I was wondering a few things about them, as listed here: How do they broadcast the run? I've seen some people allow for donations, is this done during live streaming? and how? Are there rules on using glitches during runs?...

Ben Brocka

3ventic

Ben Brocka

@Lazers That's a lot of questions, most of which are tangentially related to gaming at best, and too broad otherwise

5pike

@3ventic Do you have a GUI with mouse support when entering bios?

Ben Brocka

13:49

UEFI added mouse support? Well that's one good thing then

5pike

@BenBrocka Mine has

3ventic

@5pike nop

5pike

@3ventic Then you have normal bios

Ben Brocka

badp

@BenBrocka I would love to learn about this

Arperum

@3ventic Please no.

5pike

Mhh... I can't remember if I installed Win7 via DVD or USB, when I got my new mobo with UEFI. All I remember is that it worked without a problem.

Kevin van der Velden

I've got UEFI and installed windows 7 from USB without a problem (when I inserted it into a USB2 port >.>)

Ben Brocka

@badp It was some fuckup I had to do for Steam OS. I forget if Win 7 needed the same handholding or not. Windows 8 should install out of the box for totally not suspicious reasons

Child of Light lets you use the Vita like the Wii U gamepad! I always hoped games could do that, I guess they can
