@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment calm.

I COULDNT STAND IT I HAD TO DOWNLOAD A THING TO FIX IT

@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment /cc @StrixVaria @Fluttershy

If you can stand Origin, Plants vs. Zombies is apparently free for PC/Mac at the moment.

Curses

@Powerlord After their horrible treatment of PvZ 2, EA gets absolutely nothing from me.

@Frank Well, free implies you're giving them nothing, so...

I've got an idea for a new game

@fredley Pants vs. Zombies?

@Powerlord Origin has a cost. My time and it being spyware.

@Powerlord HOW DID YOU GUESS???

@Powerlord A riddle-based game, played over email.

@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment ha.

@fredley will it end with "What have I got in my pockets"?

@KevinvanderVelden "What is your favourite colour?"

Oh yeah, I mentioned that Murdered: Soul Suspect had a code for GMG to get another 25% off it price, but I think I forgot to mention the code was 9HZ09L-D4RYEU-FIW8BE

@fredley Blue.

No, yellow.

Sunless Sea release date is June 17th!

@AshleyNunn

@SaintWacko Dare I ask?

@Frank New game from the creators of Fallen London

@SaintWacko All I see is, "Eat your crew"

@SaintWacko WHOOO!

WHOOO!

@SaintWacko Speaking of Fallen London, I haven't played that in a long time.

@Yuki I haven't been playing as much lately either

@SaintWacko "eat your crew" really?

@Powerlord Yeah, I'm curious about that

@TimStone Family friend. She has aspergers, and she's having a very bad week at her father's house this week. Her mother is working in sweden and they just divorced so her childhood house is now devoid of all furniture.

@agent86 Is it sad that I immediately thought "neck"?

does anyone read those before they print the cards?

@RedRiderX I enjoyed Muffin Knight but felt bad about it because it's a ripoff of super crate box

@Yuki Almost... it's "neck is"

@Powerlord Or "neck's", rather. I think that's the proper lyric.

@GnomeSlice Ah. Well, that sounds like a pretty unfortunate situation, I'm sorry to hear that. :(

@GnomeSlice D:

@Yuki you win at disney trivial pursuit, but not at the immaturity game :(

@Yuki You're right, I just checked.

@GnomeSlice Oh jeez, that's not good. If I recall correctly, people with Asperger's have problems dealing with changes in their routine, right?

@agent86 One of those other questions references a direct-to-VHS sequel. That seems mean.

@agent86 Which is odd because the typical Disney audience is considered by most people to be immature...

@PanicBomb this card made me realize I would not be a good player for this game

Yes, it's definitely neck's

Sauce: I've seen that movie a quarter zillion times

That's almost one hundred!

note to self: do not play disney trivial pursuit with bridge members

Stupid mobile making me look stupid

@Unionhawk Well, I went to an actual source... the mp3s of the Soundtrack.

... Er

addendum to previous note: do not play disney trivial pursuit

addendum to previous note and previous previous note: do not play trivial pursuit

@agent86 or at least, not with @Yuki

@agent86 Now, nothing wrong with Trivial Pursuit

It's all the incredibly simple variations they've made that are a problem

addendum to notes previous to this one: do not discuss trivial pursuit

rule #1 of trival pursuit club: you do not talk about trivial pursuit club

My wife's family has all the answers to the original Trivial Pursuit memorized. Playing with them is most definitely not a good idea.

I have a copy of some variant of trivial pursuit in the closet. the plastic is still on it

@agent86 Actual rule #1 of Trivial Pursuit Club: Talk about Trivial Pursuit Club. Seriously, guys, talk about Trivial Pursuit Club. We need more members.

I'm especially bad at sports

That's because sports trivia is dumbest trivia.

@Yuki Correct. At least in her case.

They only moved like a week ago

@Unionhawk ChatSEy

@fredley When I tried to use it, it said my browser didn't support whatever login mechanism it needed. I'm on 4.3; is it 4.4-only?

@PanicBomb I've updated it since then

@PanicBomb It should be able to log you in now

OK, I'll give it another shot then

Wee! I get to quote on Objective C functionality!

Where is @spugsley when I need her!?

@Fluttershy Probably off punching babies.

@Yuki Probably. But this is more important!

Sesame oil is the best.

So tasty and fragrant.

@Fluttershy wait what? There are things more important then punching babies? Are you talking about like, a baby-catapult or something?

@KevinvanderVelden Nope! It's news about a game she was once addicted to. :3

@Fluttershy pity, a baby-catapult sounds like something she would love

@KevinvanderVelden Baby-ballista would be better

I dunno. I think @spugsley would settle for a baby-slingshot.

Like one of those oversized, water balloon launching ones.

@Fluttershy True, but bigger is better

That was just offensive, @Wipqozn

You just don't joke about PHP

@PanicBomb You don't?

@Powerlord no, PHP is the joke

You might trigger someone's PTSD. I make similar concessions for VBA and ColdFusion

You mentioned PHP?

@FEichinger so, someone mentions PHP and you show up, are you like the PHP devil?

@KevinvanderVelden Yes.

@FEichinger well that explains your general evil-nes.

@KevinvanderVelden @FEichinger will also step out of the shadows when someone mentions @spugsley's butt.

did someone mention @spugsley's butt?

BUTT.

See?

...

I have no words.

wat

wat wat is this talk of butt butt?

Only a few more days until the end of MLP season 4.

\o/

Oh you guys are talking about butts again

/o\

and @badp's jumped out a window

@BenBrocka /o/

@badp s/o/[*]/g

I probably didn't need the brackets there. that's what I get for trying to make an ascii butt using sed commands on the fly.

I'll just leave that there

@Unionhawk why did this beep me? o.o

@Chippies Wrong reply initially

I hit the wrong button

@Unionhawk oh, that explains it

@Chippies You're spugsley

@badp REALLY? AWESOME!

I GOT A NEW PHONE AND IT'S WEIRD

@TimStone It was supposed to be an animated elephant.

@OrigamiRobot throw it out and get a better one

hnng

> Fans with an Unreal Engine 4 subscription can participate in the crowdsourced development the next Unreal Tournament, with fan-created mods playing an integral role in its life post-launch. Epic intends to create a marketplace where creators can give away or sell their custom content. Epic's cut from those sales is what will pay for the game.

Could potentially be really cool

@RedRiderX IT'S WEIRD BECAUSE IT'S DIFFERENT

@OrigamiRobot is it an iPhone?

because iPhone are weird

NO IT'S A MOTO X

@OrigamiRobot Oooh

Basically stock android being "different"

It's a sad world we live in

IT WAS MY ONLY OPTION

I would opt for a Moto X if I had to get a new phone right now tbh

IT HAS BETTER SPECS THAN MY OLD PHONE AND I PAY $25 FOR UNLIMITED EVERYTHING SO I'M HAPPY

Though it does sound like the s5 is pretty good

But then I'm an Android developer so I'm all about that stock feel

(THEY CAN THROTTLE YOUR DATA AFTER YOU GO ABOVE 5GB FOR THE MONTH)

But Samsung is about as far from stock as you can get

Unreal Engine 4 trello

THE BEST PART IS THE LACK OF BRANDING ON THE FRONT OF THE PHONE

@OrigamiRobot on your phone :O

@RedRiderX republicwireless.com/plans

Getting a Nexus 7 and seeing stock Android made me realize how shitty Verizon's brand of Android is.

If I refer someone, we both get $20 credit wink wink

@OrigamiRobot I'm sort of curious how the business model works at those prices. Are they associated with a bigger carrier?

@StrixVaria Funny, given that the Nexus 7 2013 is the only Nexus that's Verizon compatible (IIRC)

@StrixVaria heh yeah that can happen

@PanicBomb It's wifi calling with optional cell handover

@badp The Moto X basically plays the same role as the Nexus flavors these days, yeah

The cell is through Sprint

Because for some stupid reason Verizon DISALLOWS the CDMA Nexus 5

@OrigamiRobot WOW UNLIMITED WIFI

@OrigamiRobot ahh

SIGN ME UP

just think of all the star trek you could watch!

in glorious 320x240 resolution

I'll never get a non-nexus phone again

@BenBrocka word on the street is the program is changing and they might not make nexus phones anymore :(

@BenBrocka that's why there's rumours about Google discontinuing the Nexus program! \o/

@BenBrocka I will for a $25 plan

and by "\o/" I mean "/o\"

I think I pay $30 for my nexus 4 per month

@RedRiderX How do you get what?

I've also heard "rumors" of a "nexus 6" already so I'll believe it when I see it

@BenBrocka I swear to god my GS3 is already the biggest I want any phone I ever own to be

I still want to have a super-wild totally-unfounded @strix please-tell-me-if-I-should-delete-this-message dream that the word-on-the-street talks about "Android Silver" are because the Nexus stuff will be rebranded "Android Gold"

I don't buy the "it's no longer needed" argument since "google play edition" phones are like $800 and nexus phones are $300-$400, they're hardly equivalent

And the GS4/GS5, Nexus 5, the rumored Nexus 6, etc are all even bigger

@RedRiderX mp3tag.de/en

That supports M4a

Nexus 5 is fine, though hard to reach poorly placed buttons with one thumb sometimes, wouldn't want a bigger phone though

I use mp3tag all the time

@GnomeSlice yep that's what I used

That said, my 2012 Nexus 7 happened to be poorly built (although after the 2nd or 3rd trip to servicing it's been reliable), and my 2013 Nexus 7 is getting slightl scratches on the screen with wild abandon

To me, the Nexus 4 is the best Android phone that's ever been produced in terms of size, feel, and build quality

I used to think that, but I hate the glass back. Too fragile

also the camera sucked, nexus 5 is much improved

Now I have to transfer my number and it's going to be a HUGE PAIN

Google voice

never worry about transfers again after a one time $20 transfer. Love it

Check your murican privilege

It IS pretty awesome privilege

I can get alcohol via a drive-up window, god bless america

It's only going to be a pain because my old plan is in my sister's name.

Dear Google,

Music was pretty great

Now how about voice?

??

<3 rrx

RedtubeRX

@badp No clue what you're talking about.

@OrigamiRobot ...

collective.square-enix.com

my fellow americans, we may not have privacy, we may not have meaningful competition, we may be constantly at the whims of the super-rich, but goddammit we can use a terrible beaurocracy to move our phone numbers around if we want to!

You know there is a drag star with the same name as me on MySpace

I SAY AMERICA IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY EVERY COUNTRIED IN THE HISTORY OF COUNTRIES!

It was quite the interesting find

My problem is with my sister, not the phone company.

@RedRiderX She's probably a fan

As in TELL ME THE DAMN ACCOUNT PIN SO I CAN GET OFF YOUR SHITTY PLAN

@RedRiderX I have the same name as a very popular UK football player

which is both good and bad

christ people with new computers

@BenBrocka wat

There's an owl with the same name as @StrixVaria.

@StrixVaria (→ steam chat)

people at work keep destroying their computers and flailing incompetently at new ones not understanding what's going on

@badp Not home right now...let me check the app on my phone.

Is this legal? indiedb.com/games/pokemon-journey

@BenBrocka did you accidentally hire me?

I have finally out seoed them though

@GnomeSlice Without even clicking the link I can tell you no

Which is nice

After clicking the link I can tell you hell no

@PanicBomb but it doesn't have the accent!!

CLEARLY VERY DIFFERENT THINGS

Oh, so they apparently live in Cardiff.

Interesting...

@GnomeSlice Yeah, that's pretty illegal. Safe to say, the words "indie" and a Nintendo IP (be it Mario, Pokemon, Starfox, etc.) will pretty much never mix in a legal manner.

Actually, now I'm not sure

It's hard to tell on new MySpace

New Unreal Tournament to be made with fans, and will be totally free.

@GnomeSlice Oh my

I didn't know about the F2P bit

Intriguing...

FAKE INDIGNATION

> That's not free-to-play, Epic promises. Free. No microtransactions here—Epic's cut will come from the community marketplace, where fans can sell what they make in the new Unreal Tournament, and Epic will take a cut.

@RedRiderX It's not f2p, it's totally free.

@GnomeSlice Wait really?

Huh

But yes it sounds cool, a mod-driven free UT sounds perfect

They'll make money off market stuff?

Hmm

Not sure how market stuff will work though...presumably you can't just make your own super OP gun and use it in normal matches with other people who don't also own it

And in a game with hitboxes, even cosmetic models/etc could be considered to affect gameplay

Maybe it'll all be hats

Maps?

Maybe, and textures, map packs, mutators. Not sure how this happens without major fragmentation though. DLC is a big enough problem when there's only a few official map packs

ooo

indiedb.com/games/grain-war

So, I hear that Cogent is now responding to Comcast's inanity

Right where it can hurt them too... in front of Congress.

(non-related)

@GnomeSlice Looks like 3d risk of rain

Yeah, it really does.

@SaintWacko Actually, still looks like 2D Risk of Rain.

@Yuki Oh, true

Just different dimensions

@SaintWacko Yeah, z and x instead of x and y.

There was a killing downtown at the beginning of this week. They just arrested a 21-year old fleeing into Ontario.

@Frank Always confused when people say "killing" instead of "murder". Does that mean more than one person was killed?

flees to Ontario

Oh wait, I don't have a passport

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HYPOTHESIS TESTING AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

calm

@Yuki Well, if you get technical, not every killing is a murder.

@Yuki Murder implies mortal lethal intent.

...which, for this case, appears to be the case.

@Frank Was about to say, "is that a legal term?"

They are planning on charging him with first-degree murder.

@Frank Is that anything like malice aforethought?

@Yuki No, that's usually first-degree.

Lethal intent just means that your actions at the moment were designed to kill someone.

Such as opening up with an automatic in a crowded area.

If you had planned it, it would be first degree murder.

If you just did it in the heat of the moment, it's still murder, just not first degree.

@Frank Second degree.

@Fluttershy Yeah.

We need to standardize the use of the term "xth-degree".

Usually things involving guns can be rather easily classified as murder.

Knives and such are where it could be construed as manslaughter.

Northern America - where "you just happened to fire an automatic at a crowd" is a viable possibility.

Third degree burn is more severe than first-degree burn, but first-degree murder is more severe (in punishment) than second-degree murder (which is what I'm getting from this discussion).

@Yuki Indeed.

First degree murder is as bad as it gets.

@FEichinger I though fully automatic weapons were rather rare in the US?

@MadScientist If by "US", you mean "states other than Texas".

@MadScientist Well, for one, I very specifically didn't say "US". But also, it was a hyperbole to play on @Frank's "example".

Does anyone have a launcher recommendation that isn't GO?

I don't have any specific problem with GO, I'm just looking at alternatives.

@OrigamiRobot I use stock, personally, now, but I've used LauncherPro and it's pretty okay.

(stock Jellybean, that is)

aren't they going to/haven't they put the stock launcher in the store for everyone to get now?

I'm glad Google finally realized carriers are Android's greatest foe and allows you to mostly get around this shit now
