If your first act on this site is to answer 3 questions, 2 of which very poorly and promote something which has no need for promotion, well then you're doing something wrong

In my opinion

badp

It's probably more of a forum signature, still

I mean, even if it wasn't promoting anything we'd have removed it

Arperum

Q: Where do i find the disk needed for the computer in the gold factory, the computer is located in the house through the portal in the flying castle

The computer is located in the house through the portal in the flying castle and i can not for the life of me find the disk needed for it!!

Ben Brocka

Might have already found a replacement car. Should cost less than insurance gives me too

Krazer

@BenBrocka What did you settle for?

Ben Brocka

They haven't given a price yet, my mom's talking to 'em while I'm at work

Origami Robot

What happened to your car?

badp

18:17

> Spriggan enchanters (the monster) and phoenixes have been removed.

Ben Brocka

Garage burnt down yesterday morning. Arson

badp

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO--- wait. "the monster" phew

Origami Robot

:O

Tim Stone

Arperum

badp

18:18

@BenBrocka Who's going to have to clean up the mess, btw?

Arperum

40 is hard

Origami Robot

@Arperum HIGHLIGHT CHEATER!

Ben Brocka

bluebook value for the car should have still been pretty good, probably a bit more than the car I'm looknig at will cost

badp

@OrigamiRobot Your definition of cheating is very flimsy

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot Not cheating, it just saves you time from manually checking it out.

Origami Robot

18:19

@TimStone Actual circles don't collide. Huh

@Arperum That's why it's cheating.

Tim Stone

@OrigamiRobot Would have been easy enough to fix that anyway (mine is also 40, for the record)

Ben Brocka

@badp Might be on us, but my dad has a few workers for the rental houses anyway. Not touching anything until insurance inspects the cars, they usually tow 'em for scrap I think

Origami Robot

@TimStone I wasn't saying it needed to be fixed. It was just a realization.

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot Because the game allows you to save yourself half a lifetime checking if some lines collide? So you can check if more lines collide.

Origami Robot

@Arperum Yep. Cheater.

Arperum

18:21

(I didn't use it with my 30 circle thing, just noticed it during my forty try, and it's convenient, so yea.

Origami Robot

Your victory is a hollow one.

Ben Brocka

Apparently the seats aren't leather but are some high quality vinyl stuff that's supposed to age better

other than that the interior actually looks better than my old car. and the covering's probably not a big deal

Origami Robot

Leather seats get so hot :(

Ben Brocka

Is vinyl that different? I've only used...whatever the fuzzy stuff is in cheap Hondas, and leather

Origami Robot

Heck if I know, I was just lamenting.

Fluttershy

User still needs removed.

Unionhawk

Ah, didn't notice that

Fluttershy

Aaaand it's gone.

Unionhawk

Poof for reals this time

Ben Brocka

18:30

I just used some cheap sun blocker things, wasn't too bad

Origami Robot

I would have to open the trunk each time to put one of those away.

Sterno

Leather seats are literally worse than Hitler.

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot I just leave 'em in the back seat, I rarely have all 4 seats filled

Origami Robot

I don't have a back seat.

NO ONE CAN ASK ME TO HELP THEM MOVE MWAHAHAHAHAHA

Sterno

Do you drive a Yugo?

Powerlord

18:33

Oh, so THAT's why TextMsg is its own usermsg in Valve games... unlike SayText and SayText2 (which replaces the light green color with the recipient's team color), TextMsg's first argument is a Valve translation string.

Tim Stone

@OrigamiRobot Did @spugsley ask you anyway?

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot not even one of those fake ones?

Origami Robot

@TimStone Yes. She is a notorious rule breaker.

@BenBrocka I don't know what that means.

Ben Brocka

I don't like 2 seaters. The e550 is a 2 seater

Origami Robot

Oh, like a behind the seat space?

Ben Brocka

18:34

@OrigamiRobot some 2 door cars have extremely bad rear seats or just spaces behind the seats

Origami Robot

No, I have neither.

Ben Brocka

oh, you're doomed then

Sterno

Someone explain to me why people waste money on car washes.

Ben Brocka

that's part of why I don't want a 2 seater

@Sterno because it's hard to use the hose in the winter, for me

Origami Robot

@Sterno It's like $4.

Sterno

18:35

But it's just dirt.

Usually not even a lot of it

Origami Robot

And pollen.

And there's a lot of that.

Chippies

@Sterno clearly you don't do high-way driving every day in Canada

cars get nasty

Sterno

@Chippies That is true.

But if I did, I'd find the car wash futile, since it would last only a day

Tim Stone

@Sterno Cleaning the underside of your car is a pain in the ass.

Chippies

especially in the slushy/snowy times, which is like 2/3rd of a year

Ben Brocka

18:36

Salt can harm the paint/exposed metal

Sterno

@BenBrocka Now we're finally hitting upon a valid reason!

I have never washed any of my cars and have not found the lack of washing to cause a problem.

Origami Robot

Where do you live again @Sterno?

Sterno

Indiana

Origami Robot

Are there no trees there?

Sterno

There are trees.

Sometimes even in groups of two or three.

Ben Brocka

18:38

Do you not salt your roads?

Sterno

Rarely, but they do it

Ben Brocka

Depending on the winter (this was the worst on record) we get tons and tons of salt buildup

Sterno

Usually sand

Origami Robot

Pollen

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot Wow. I have never seen that.

Ben Brocka

18:39

Yeah sand is less of an issue. It also doesn't help very much...but it doesn't hurt as much

Origami Robot

That's what it can get like here.

Ben Brocka

pollen applied an Instagram filter to your car?! dastardly

Tim Stone

@BenBrocka The way DOT budgeting works for road salt is terrible.

Ben Brocka

I've never had pollen build up. Then again I usually parked in the garage

Tim Stone

To make sure they used it all this winter I saw trucks resalting roads that had way too much on them to begin with.

Then winter decided to, you know, not go away, and they ran out and had to use sand.

Ben Brocka

18:40

We needed a ton of salt this year though I still think they went a bit overboard

I was worried it'd harm the paint. Guess it doesn't matter now

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot That looks like that Season 1 X-Files episodes where the bugs come out and night and cocoon them

If that was in my car, yeah, I'd probably wash it.

Chippies

@OrigamiRobot that looks nasty, I've never seen that

Tim Stone

@BenBrocka Yeah, I'm really sorry to hear about it by the way. Hopefully they get the person responsible, maybe someone will catch 'em in the act next time.

Origami Robot

Hooray for the south!

Ben Brocka

@TimStone this apparently isn't the persons first fire, though most of them were nuisance fires. It's bulky waste pickup week and they got a bunch of random stuff left out. Won't be putting that neat the garage again if we get one rebuilt

Tim Stone

18:43

Ahh, damn :/

GnomeSlice

Sterno

@BenBrocka I missed some context. Did someone firebomb your car or something?

That does not sound fun.

Not 100% sure what happened since it was 3am, but a bunch of people's bulky waste was set on fire. Some was behind my garage, and the whole garage went too

They couldn't even get water out of the hydrant

Was woken up by 20ft flames outside my bedroom window at 3 AM

Powerlord

Apparently Microsoft is adding Cordova support to Visual Studio

3ventic

something with windows phone?

Powerlord

@3ventic Cordova is for designing iOS and Android apps.

3ventic

hm

Powerlord

18:55

Moreso Android than iOS or so I understand.

Ben Brocka

Still can't actually deploy to iOS without a mac, right?

GnomeSlice

Powerlord

I wonder if this comes as a surprise to the Xamarin devs, though.

GnomeSlice

@Fluttershy Catapult in The Stomping Land

Powerlord

Oh wait, Cordova is still just HTML + JavaScript + CSS.

...which makes me wonder why it needs special support.

I guess Xamarin is still necessary to write native iOS/Android apps in .NET.

3ventic

19:00

@Powerlord parameter suggestions for functions and value suggestions for CSS I guess

GnomeSlice

Neat!

Origami Robot

@GnomeSlice are you getting The Stomping Land

3ventic

@GnomeSlice That's totally unreadable

GnomeSlice

Q: Is there a minesweeper leader board?

I just hit level 501 as well. 1,650,937,445 in gold. is there a site or blog w/ a leader board? thanks

minesweeper

Ben Brocka

...what

GnomeSlice

@Lazers There are literally hundreds of minesweeper games on mobile.

Ben Brocka

If it's not windows preinstalled bloatware it's hardly proper minesweeper

3ventic

19:10

Windows doesn't install minesweeper anymore :(

GnomeSlice

> In our current design, Cryptocat connects to Facebook in the most minimal way possible: as a regular XMPP client over Cryptocat’s outbound BOSH relay. Not a single line of code from Facebook is ever loaded or executed in Cryptocat. Even the Facebook login process happens in a completely separate, sandboxed window.

neat

3ventic

Now if only I used facebook

Powerlord

@3ventic I should stab you for messing up my joke before I posted it.

Ben Brocka

@3ventic what?! it'd be perfect to show off their Surface's pen!

Powerlord

I WAS going to reply to @GnomeSlice and mention that the biggest problem with this is that you need a Facebook account in the first place.

GnomeSlice

19:13

@Powerlord That's pretty much implied in 'encrypted Facebook chats'.

3ventic

@BenBrocka There is "Microsoft Minesweeper" in the store for free, published by Microsoft Studios

GnomeSlice

BTW, Cryptocat is looking for Android developers to contribute to the project. github.com/cryptocat/cryptocat-android

If anybody is interested.

Powerlord

@GnomeSlice I'm surprised that anyone who actually uses Facebook would be concerned with privacy... because if you were, why would you be using Facebook?

GnomeSlice

Just because people can see photos and shit doesn't mean you don't want to keep your private conversations private.

@OrigamiRobot That's what I figured. When I get a job...

Powerlord

Origami Robot

@GnomeSlice It's not about privacy from other people using Facebook, it's about privacy from Facebook.

it's the new math

badp

I'll only ever buy into new math once they accept six-to-eight as its own digit

SaintWacko

@badp wat

agent86

the new percentage is even weirder

$25 -> $1.50 is 75% off

badp

It's probably dummy text that failed to be dummy enough
