@fredley did you re-make the ASCII art or is this all the originals?
@Batophobia Original
Woo storm
@Unionhawk Watch!
that big blob in florida is right where i am!
Hi.
11
17:06
yayyy
@StrixVaria DadVaria!!
How'd everything go?
There's a baby in my house now.
25
So I guess overall things went well.
@StrixVaria Everyone involved ok?
FAE
FAE
@StrixVaria Yay, glad to hear. How's everyone recovering?
Yep. Everyone is absolutely perfectly where the doctors say they should be in the recovery process.
Healthy baby and healthy mommy.

@StrixVaria That's great. :) How are you doing?
@FAE Overwhelmed.
@StrixVaria They make a spray for that, I think.
She's asleep now, but we have to go out to get formula for her and painkillers for my wife today.
@StrixVaria Congratulations. :) You must be pretty excited!
17:10
My dog has no idea what to do because we're not really letting him near her.
On a scale from 1 to Modship, how would you rate this experience?
Trying to teach him in very short order that she's not to be messed with.
I wouldn't put modship at the extreme top end of good experiences, personally.
@StrixVaria this
Ridiculous. It's obviously the pinnacle of achievement.
FAE
FAE
@StrixVaria Gentle introduction is usually a good idea, because otherwise, she remains a strange object he won't know what to do with.
17:12
Yeah, he's already figured out to be gentle, at least under supervision.
We just have to make sure there's never not supervision.
Anyway lots of errands.
@StrixVaria Congrats, have fun dadding.
How many tricks does your baby know so far?
in English Language & Usage, 19 secs ago, by KitFox
@GnomeSlice I love checking your flags. You get busted for the best stuff.
@OrigamiRobot She can almost get her hand in her mouth without poking herself in the eye, and she can kind of roll her head to one side or the other.
17:14
@StrixVaria Impressive.
I still haven't quite mastered the first one.
@fredley Can haz links?
@Yuuki I think this is it: tommedley.com/incraftmental
still a WIP though
Happy to announce I reached an arrangement w/ @NintendoAmerica whereby I can tweet again. Arrangement includes my not working there anymore.
4
Nintendo's former Indie games guy
@Batophobia Yeah, all my stuff is initialized to "NaN".
@Powerlord wtf
17:22
@Yuuki ?
can you offer screenshot?
@StrixVaria Yay
@Yuuki Weird, I'm not getting that, try opening it in an incognito window.
@RonanForman It's probably because I'm using Internet Explorer because apparently universities don't know how to install other browsers.
I'm not seeing that either
17:26
@Yuuki Gross
@Yuuki Oh yeah, I get that in IE too.
@Yuuki Oh god, so IE is fucking up javascript too. that's just awesome news. I knew it broke css in all manner of forms, but javascript is new to me.
@Yuuki Install Firefox on USB and use a portable browser: portableapps.com/support/firefox_portable#installing
@Batophobia Yeah, I forgot to bring my "portable stuffs" USB today.
lame
IE is just terrible
2
speaking of terrible things, Sharknado 2
17:29
@Batophobia wtf, Kari Wuhrer?
@GnomeSlice and Andy Dick, Billy Ray Cyrus, and Kelly Osbourne
Also I found out yesterday that Kari Wuhrer has done a lot of sex scenes over her career. Kind of ruined Sliders for me now.
Although it definitely didn't ruin Kari Wuhrer.
I still need to watch Sliders
It's a great series.
FAE
FAE
@GnomeSlice Er, what? Why is doing sex scenes a problem?
17:33
There is also this little sci-fi gem: imdb.com/title/tt3743126
@FAE It's not, but sliders is like wholesome family friendly entertainment.
I dunno.
It doesn't really ruin it for me I guess.
I was just kind of shocked.
@FAE It ruins my delusion that every single actor/actress I see on the screen is a virgin.
Even the ones with kids.
@FAE It can ruin previous roles they had
I'm pretty sure they adopt.
FAE
FAE
@GnomeSlice Yeah but those were other parts of her career.
17:34
I know.
@FAE After seeing someone in a sex scene, you can't look at them in the same way again
even if it is a different role
FAE
FAE
@Batophobia That kind of sounds more like a personal problem than the actor's problem. >_>
It's not a problem with her.
@FAE To be honest, it is
Anyway.
17:36
same goes for other types of scenes too
Also I watched more of her sex scenes than I probably should have, so I guess it's my own fault.
@GnomeSlice So it's a "now that I've seen you naked for so many hours, I have trouble recognizing when you're wearing clothes" thing?
The Scunthorpe problem is the blocking of e-mails, forum posts or search results by a spam filter or search engine because their text contains a string of letters that are shared with an obscene word. While computers can easily identify strings of text within a document, broad blocking rules may result in false positives, causing innocent phrases to be blocked. == Origin and history == The problem was named after an incident in 1996 in which AOL's profanity filter prevented residents of the town of Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire, England from creating accounts with AOL, because the town's name...
FAE
FAE
@GnomeSlice lol
I just realized my work email filter falls for this. I included the term "Specialist" in an email I sent and it was blocked
17:42
@Powerlord Try discussing the Dick van Dyke show
@Sterno You have another one coming imminently too, right?
I'm getting a sense of deja vu here...
@Batophobia So, how are you supposed to get villagers?
@SaintWacko I'm getting a sense of uninvited.
@Yuuki apples
took a LONG time for me to get one
17:43
@Batophobia And how do you get those?
@Yuuki axes
@Powerlord What?
@Batophobia I've tried, but it seems like the recipe isn't working.
Déjà Vu is a point-and-click adventure game set in the world of 1940s hard-boiled detective novels and movies. It was released in 1985 for Macintosh – the first in the MacVenture series – and later ported to several other systems, including the Commodore Amiga. Subsequent releases featured improved graphical features, including color. == Plot and gameplay == The game takes place in Chicago during December 1941, shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The game character is Theodore "Ace" Harding, a retired boxer working as a private eye. The player awakes one morning in a bathroom stall, unable...
I'm assuming axes are made different?
17:44
The MacVenture games is a series of four adventure games introducing a characteristic menu-based point-and-click interface. They were originally developed for the Apple Macintosh by ICOM Simulations: Deja Vu: a Nightmare Comes True (1985) Uninvited (1986) Shadowgate (1987) Deja Vu II: Lost in Las Vegas (1988) All these games have been released on other platforms including Commodore Amiga, Apple II, Atari ST, Commodore 64, IBM Personal Computer (PC), Pocket PC and Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). This article is about the original Macintosh versions which introduced new interface ideas to the...
@Yuuki No they should be just like ClickCraft
Saying Shadowgate would have been more obvious, but...
@fredley text-align: center makes things look weird
I really don't see the point in builders anymore
@OrigamiRobot You give them an item and they will start building more of it
17:48
@Batophobia Except you can build manually in an instant vs waiting on them
@OrigamiRobot true, but villagers are an automated system
no need to go into crafting table and place the materials
@Batophobia Yes, but the builder specifically isn't useful
@Batophobia I can wait on him to make 4 sticks X amount of times, or I can put two planks in the table and click "Craft 100"
@OrigamiRobot I like that they keep my sticks up
If they could craft something from raw materials, like give them pickaxe and they make the planks then sticks they would be good.
@OrigamiRobot You also need to craft the planks though
17:50
@Batophobia Which I can mass produce myself in the same manner.
yea, they are fairly useless
Unless giving the builder 10 stone axes gets you wood faster than just using the 10 stone axes, they actually slow you down
3 Villagers GET!
@OrigamiRobot I agree that 10 tools is too much for this method, but I think fredley plans to lower that eventually
17:54
@Batophobia That's not the problem. The problem is giving a villager any amount of axes slows you down.
In the time it takes him to complete 1 build cycle, I can convert my entire supply of wood into sticks
@OrigamiRobot So you suggest remove the crafting 10x and 100x
Your stick production rate is limited by your wood production rate.
@Batophobia No, those are great
I suggest giving the villager 10 axes give you a slightly higher wood production rate than the 10 axes would give you on their own
I'd like a "Craft Planks x100" option please.
Never mind.
Forgot that was a standard Minecraft recipe.
Clearly, I haven't played in 500 years.
Freedom Planet stage 9 cleared in 69 minutes 40 seconds
This game is basically a marathon
@badp Aren't you supposed to go fast?
FAE
FAE
18:00
@badp x_X
@Batophobia Alternately, have the "Craft 10x" etc unlocked only by making more crafting tables
My total's so far is 5:27:19 with 4,894 gems with 4 stages to go apparently and a gem target of 7,000
also 41 deaths because midbosses
So, I'm not exactly sure how villagers work. If I give them a block/item, they make that item?
also I skipped some bonuses because I'm really dumb
18:02
@Yuuki That's how builders work, smiths need the ore and they will get whatever the furnace spits out
What useful things can you make with Stone?
Gianna Sisters!
Wow
I didn't expect to see that game in a bundle.
@Yuuki not sure
maybe buttons and pressure plates?
@StrixVaria 9 days or less
2
@Sterno Didn't learn the first time, eh?
Or you want to fight your two children to find out which is stronger.
18:09
@OrigamiRobot There can be only one
@Batophobia I forget, do Iron Pickaxes affect your iron ore rate?
@OrigamiRobot They did in ClickCraft, I didn't make the mining system in the new game
So, if I give a smith ore, he takes my ore reserves and turns them into ingots?
It looks like iron pickaxe is twice as likely to give iron ore
@Yuuki yes
@fredley @Batophobia With the new clickcraft what is the plan with redstone and that form of mechanism
18:23
@Flaunting I had an idea for ClickCraft where you would build redstone systems. It might get added here instead, but I'm not sure that is the direction they want to go with this game
ClickCraft was more adventure-oriented while Incraftmental is supposedly going to focus on village building
Why am I not getting Gold Ore anymore?
@OrigamiRobot Bad luck?
@OrigamiRobot Do you have pickaxes that can mine them?
I have 30 Iron Pickaxes
Are they being smelted as soon as you get them?
18:27
None are being smelted
I only have 30 Gold Ore that I got from making my first Iron Pick
is there something special you need for diamonds?
Whoops, just got 270 :/
@Sconibulus Gold Pickaxe
it's not like minecraft where iron can get diamonds
...oh
so there is a use to gold
18:29
Apparently Google now scans GMail for child pornography.
@Powerlord That picture of your kid in the tub, yea we need you to come downtown
lunchtime!

@OrigamiRobot what do sloths have against libraries?
Ignoring @FAE till that is gone :/
Someone please let me know.
18:39
@FAE Wait, did you copy @fredley's link or did imgur see that you were uploading the same file and then just linked you to the other one?
9 hours ago, by fredley

It's the same url even.
sigh Ignoring @Arperum till that goes away :/
Good job team
Keep it going~
@Arperum the picture is from this post reddit.com/r/gifs/comments/2cjbqo/sloth_disney_princess
@Blem Ah, that explains.
19:01
Gosh...sloths
oh, so that's what ignoring does...nice. Never had a reason to do so before :D
@Blem My goodness...captain america! So risqué!
FAE
FAE
@Arperum Jochem gave me the link, so I guess he just got it the same place @fredley did
@FAE Yea, @blem pointed to reddit. And that's probably the source.
Space Empires V is on sale again this week.
Y'know, if anyone's interested in a super long-term play by email game.
@FAE This may be scarier for you than it was for me
19:22
@Sterno Awesome!
Question: Why has Windows 8.1 already had more service packs "updates" than Windows 7 has had in like 5 years?
@Powerlord because windows 8 actually needed work to make usable
@Rapitor Right, but one of the major things about Service Packs is that they roll all previous security updates into them. Try installing Windows 7 + SP1 on a new system and you have nearly 200 updates to install.
@StrixVaria That is super fantastically amazing. Congrats.
Congrats @Strix and @Wife_of_Strix! I wish you all well on your many upcoming nights of sleeplessness.
19:31
@StrixVaria Sleep is for the weak!
@OrigamiRobot She's 3 days old, so she should know at least 3 tricks by now.
@Sterno 9 days or less? My word, didn't know it was so close.
@Wipqozn She can poop and pee too
@Sterno And cry? I bet she can cry.
@Wipqozn So far, she's been pretty good about not crying.
@StrixVaria When will you start teaching her to play games with us?
19:46
Once Skydrift beats @GnomeSlice at Skydrift
@MBraedley It's pronounced "@WifeVaria"
Oh, that reminds me. We need a Bridgename for @Sterno's new kid
@OrigamiRobot @Sternew

@OrigamiRobot Did we ever come up with one for @StrixVaria child?
@Wipqozn @KidVaria, obviously.
@OrigamiRobot Oh, that makes sense.
@Blem faith_in_humanity--;
Yay shore time just to have to pee in a cup >_>
OK, I'm not sure what to do in Incraftmental now.
@OrigamiRobot tnt
20:10
because tnt
@Rapitor but at least XKCD is also on it, because XKCD is always relevent

Q: Civ 5 BNW: why are city states far tougher than major civ cities on settler?

Nate KerkhofsI started a game of Civ 5 BNW with the mod that makes the USA completely broken (every important unit is upgraded, start with all 4 base techs unlocked, start with 3 settlers, 3 workers and a super strong scout) to have some conquest fun (although I forgot to actually enable the conquest victory,...

@Rapitor watch out for overflowing
@SaintWacko everyone seems excited... something isn't right
20:25
@Rapitor My friend decided they're all adrenaline junkies
Twice now they've bailed out of a crashing, enormous spaceship and parachuted down from 30km

Q: Why is Terrorblade still not in CM

ResidentBiscuitWhat's the deal with Terrorblade? The few games I've used him, he doesn't too bad or too good. He's pretty fun to play. So why is he still not included in captain's mode?

@SaintWacko did they want for the last second to open the chutes?
@badp I've had one kerbal faceplant the runway from 20km high without a parachute, and live.
20:41
Kerbals can have parachutes now?
@badp No, because they all had to stay within 2.5km of each other
Why?
@Sconibulus VNG EVA parachutes mod
Also, I don't know what I want my next phone to be
@badp Because if something gets 2.5km away from the active vessel in atmo, it disappears
A dumbphone to complement your tablets
@badp No way
And I only have one tablet
20:42
@SaintWacko well they could all wait the last second
I was really looking forward to the Galaxy S5 Alpha/Prime/F
No no no no no avoid Samsung at all costs
@badp No, because until the parachutes deploy, they're drifting through the atmo. Parachutes stop the sideways drift
@badp Why? I've been very happy with my Samsung phones
@SaintWacko you are a weird person
Anyways, Samsung released a great phone, Snapdragon 805, 5.1 inch QHD display...
Korea only
Exactly the phone I've been waiting for
And it's fucking Korea only
20:44
I haven't had much problem with my S3
And now it's sounding like the S5 Prime is not going to be prime in any way, shape, or form
You're very happy with two of every app where you can't uninstall disable or hide the shitty ones and physical mystery meat 90s-style hidden navigation buttons?
It supposedly will have a 720p screen
@badp You spelled "Apple" wrong
@badp Oh
You don't have a problem with Samsung
You have a problem with Touchwiz
Everyone has a problem with Touchwiz
FAE
FAE
20:45
@badp I won't have to pay taxes on anything unless I make more than $20k according to the FAQ
Within 10 minutes of getting home with my S3, it was running cyanogenmod
I just described a problem with the software and the hardware
Samsung hardware is great
Well the design of both
@badp Wait, what's wrong with the buttons?
There's nothing hidden about them
and mystery meat? 90s style?
20:47
On my mother's S4 they only light up when you touch them
I don't even know what that's supposed to mean
@badp That's a software thing
I'm probably going to get an S5 when I get home
Easily fixable by installing a proper ROM
They remind me of those websites where the links only tell you where they go one you mouse over them
@SaintWacko I'm afraid to root my mother's phone; it may be with her longer than I am
@badp you mean like this
20:49
I've been doing everything I can to unfuck that phone without rooting but...
@badp Rooting doesn't really change anything

Q: Abel's U1 & U2 differences?

lumbricus lubricantWhen should I use Abel's U1, Soulless, and when should I use Abel's U2 Breathless? Like, what are the main differences, online matchmaking wise? I like using Soulless due to Armor Break, but at the same time, U2 has armor and can be held down to delay it. Not sure quite what the differences are....

I can see being worried about installing a custom rom, but rooting will let you remove the apps without really affecting the phone
@saint what about warranty?
I just got a Villager named Bono
20:52
I don't think it's going to get any further upgrades now that it's reached 4.4.2, but warranty might still be necessary
@badp rooting doesn't affect the warranty
Obviously as it reached 4.4.2 all of the built in apps became fully protected
They'll try to tell you it does, but they legally cannot end the warranty for rooting it
The Samsung ones I mean
20:56
Thanks Obama
That probably helps @badp somehow
given the way the US government works, that might start taking effect by the year 2025
Unlocking isn't rooting and the US isn't Italy
@badp Oh, right
I have no idea what the laws are like there

Q: Where should I ask a question about character voice lines In different languages?

lumbricus lubricantLooking to understand what Abel says during all his special moves in USF4, but I've searched online, and the only thing I can find are voice clips in japanese (but no subtitles) and english quotes. For example, I've been trying to see what Abel says when using Wheel Kick. In the American voice ...

@TimStone lol
21:29
@Batophobia You do realise I already added ascii right?
@fredley Wasn't displaying properly for me
@Batophobia Hmmm, your PR is very long, and has some problems, so I'm probably not going to merge
@fredley problems?
@Batophobia Can't, it has a one year limit on it.
@Batophobia 2000+ additions and deletions in index.html - basically rewriting the whole file
You've updated style.css but not scss, and you've checked in commented code
21:31
@fredley That was adding ascii images for a few things I added
like minecart
and bucket
@Batophobia But you've removed just as much code as you've added
Oh hey, it's going home time
And those extra items I already merged in
I didn't check in the compiled css though, so that's my bad
weird
I don't remember removing anything from the html
@Batophobia Sadly I am currently chromebook-bound so relatively helpless from a dev perspective
@Batophobia You've got your commit history's knickers in a twist somehow
21:36
I suppose there is no way to make it show me what I've changed?
I need quick help for formatting
trying to revise my answer here
1
A: How do I play Urban Terror with bots?

lumbricus lubricantYes there is. Adding bots to a game First tell the server to allow bots, press tilde (~) to open the console and type: /bot_enable 1 and start the server through the appropriate menu choices If the server is already running: /reload then you can start to add the bot(s): /addbot <type> <level

OH! I remember now
I'm trying to put this into the code attribute
/addbot <type> <level> <team> <ping> <server nick>
I removed the 2 spaces at the beginning of the <pre> lines
but the system is automatically removing the <, and the > symbols
21:37
@Batophobia hmmm
it was pushing the ascii images a little to the right
@Fredley pls halp
I see
@lumbricuslubricant what game is this for?
21:38
It's about formatting
I'm trying to put into code sample the following command :/addbot <type> <level> <team> <ping> <server nick>
but when I put it in there, it is automatically erased
@lumbricuslubricant ...you have 12k and you can't do markdown code formatting?
use `
/addbot <type> <level> <team> <ping> <server nick>
@lumbricuslubricant Remove the indentation that's making it all a codeblock
Heh I like what popped up in RPG.SE chat:
21:39
@TimStone lol good call
@fredley, got it, thanks, was wondering why the code sample wasnt applying to the string
@RedRiderX epic
thank you @Batophobia
Number of times I'm going to hell: ~32
being a writer is fun
the hell count goes up and up by the hour. Maybe I'll hit 50 today.

@RedRiderX that's impressive
21:41
Indeed
@spugsley Why all the extra hellgoing?
@fredley I got an article published with xoJane and it's religion based
@spugsley Let us know if you do!
@Fluttershy Oh I will :D
@spugsley Hooray!
21:44
@fredley yup. even got paid for it! :D It has almost 700 comments. Lots of discussion
lots of haters lol
@spugsley Weeeeeeee!
I wish I was popular enough to attract internet hate!
@spugsley Now just criticize guns and heterosexuality
you'll be to hell in no time
@fredley xojane.com/sex/true-love-waits-pledge go read some of mine. Have fun! I have enough for both of us!
@Batophobia or be a woman who talks about sexuality. That'll do it too
21:47
So people called 911 because Facebook was down for 19 minutes
@spugsley Wow, that's amazing. You're so brave for publishing that.
@Batophobia Same here in the UK

Q: Multiple Depots 1 Line

Molten IceIn Cities in Motion 2, I have a line with more buses than the largest limit of a bus depot. How can I add another depot to a line so that buses can use that for servicing too?

My hope in humanity is reaching a critical low
@fredley it was hard for sure. But there are people who need to hear it. People who need to realize that doing the 'right thing' isn't always puppies and rainbows and flowers. And others who had it happen to them and never were able to voice it
@spugsley Yeah. I know people who've been in the same boat, albeit in a variety of different ways, and had their own journeys
It's a terrible thing

Q: What is a fair way to punish a sibling who erases another's Saved Game?

KrjaxSo this question could (should?) perhaps be posted on Parenting, but I thought users here might have some personal experience with this.
