If they changed those, someone needs to rethink their 10/10.
@FAE Well, you're not going to get a perfect book in movie form movie.
WHY IS THIS A THING WE ARE ACCEPTING
NO
I REFUSE
@Yuuki Okay, 8/10.
@RPiAwesomeness While this is a truth we need to realize, it is paradoxically not a truth we should accept.
@Yuuki They kept those, but the Fiona is a keeper of the children instead of the elderly, and Jonas' male friend (name is slipping my mind, it's late) is a drone pilot instead of an argicultarist.
02:01
If we accept that "Hollywood just does what they want so let's just accept that", THEN THE TERRORISTS WIN
@Unionhawk I didn't like that part, I guess I worded my statement badly.
YOU ARE FACILITATING TERRORIST VICTORY
...
I need to like, run in circles for 2 hours or something
what the hell
Yes, we need to realize that not all things in the book are going to make it into the movie and thus not fuss over the small things. But we can't accept that the movie will not match the book perfectly (or as close as it can) or we start smoothing over the big things.
I should have said NBD, it doesn't change much of the story. I didn't like it, it's just a side-thingy that provides little change to the story.
I apologize to everyone involved
02:03
@Unionhawk Your apology is accepted.
FAE
FAE
@Unionhawk you seem very capslocky today
/totally-didn't-just-quote-the-movie
@FAE I've noticed that too, think he should have it checked out?
I'm unmedicated atm, so the bouncing of my legs could probably power a city right now
holy crap
@Unionhawk Warning, running in circles for 2 hours is usually not healthy for you, as it can lead to extreme dizziness and possible lunacy
Or like, destroy San Francisco
(get it? because earthquakes?)
02:05
For me, there are fundamental things wrong with making The Giver into a movie. It loses so much of its punch because the medium in which it is originally presented is arguably the best medium for it given its messages, the way in presents them, and how it toys with reader assumptions
@RPiAwesomeness The latter depends on whether or not it's a full moon.
@Unionhawk Eh, go for something like Toledo. Gosh that place is awful.
45 secs ago, by Unionhawk
(get it? because earthquakes?)
@Ktash This is very true. Well worded
@Unionhawk Yup
@Unionhawk or, if you tap both legs, you can target two places at once. Good grief. You're a freaking bio-terrorist!
02:08
Goddammit I will never understand how a goddamn stimulant calms me down.
It was explained to me once, by my psych-major ex, but I forgot.
Something about... brain... things.
And stuff
@Ktash I whole-heartedly agree. The Giver was good because of the way that the write wrote it, one cannot re-create her style in video form. However, this was a good visual interpretation of it. Yes, they could have improved some things. But I don't believe this is reason to dismiss the movie entirely.
FAE
FAE
@Unionhawk neurotransmitters are weird
@FAE Indeed.
@FAE that they are
FAE
FAE
@Unionhawk that's basically the tl;dr for most brain meds
02:10
Neuroscience is weird and confusing.
And we always compare the brain to whatever the prominent technology of the period is! (right now, the brain is a computer, as far as we analogize it)
Which is entirely not as in-depth and complex as the actual case, but it's a close approximation I guess sort of not really.
@RPiAwesomeness The problem though is that there can't be a visual translation of it. The ideas presented in it and the way they are presented are meant to be read, not seen. For example, the colorblindness. The book plays on the concept that readers are assuming a colorful world, so when Jonas tries to describe red for the first time, you may not quite get it. That's intended to parallel the uptopia presented with the world he comes to see during the alegorical growing up he does with The Giver
I just realized, is in the room descript...gosh-dangit.
@Unionhawk The brain is a rock!
@Yuuki YOU'RE A ROCK
@Unionhawk OR MY BRAIN IS, AT LEAST.
02:13
@Ktash Bingo.
You come to see the world just as Jonas does, along with him. All that meaning and nuance is completely lost when the reader is presented with the ideas visually. They no longer grow with the story. Which is why I think there can't be a good movie for the book. It isn't possible
At least, in my opinion
@Ktash Have you actually seen it? Not that I'm disagreeing with you, just wondring.
Have I mentioned how much I hate @OrigamiRobot for peer pressuring me into this stupid kittens game that I can't stop playing goddammit
@RPiAwesomeness No. And refuse to because of this. The giver is one of my all time favorite books, and I don't particularly want to see it massacred
02:15
This is coming along nicely
ANd he shows up. This is brilliant.
I'm a conjurer. I summoned an @OrigamiRobot for you all.
You're welcome.
@Unionhawk My robo-ears were burning.
Also I had no input on the previous discussion because I hated that book.
@OrigamiRobot Curse you! You maketh my browser lag out
Also, what is this gun thing?
@RPiAwesomeness It can't handle the nerf
@OrigamiRobot Do you just like, sense hate, and show up to soak up the spite so that you can use it as fuel?
02:16
@Ktash Perfectly valid reasoning sir!
@OrigamiRobot It's a nerf gun?
Albeit repainted?
Yes, a new addition to my steampunk costume
@RPiAwesomeness You could say your browser has been... *sunglasses* nerfed. YEEEEEEEEAH
..
I don't apologize for that one.
@Unionhawk Nor should you.
@RPiAwesomeness This is my old one:
Hrm... pizza...
@Unionhawk Badum tish
@OrigamiRobot Nice
I've considered doing that myself, I've got this old yellow one. Might be cooler in metallic form
Actually, it's exactly that ^^
02:23
Yea, the Maverick was a really popular one for this.
I also now want to see Maze Runner and Paddington
@RPiAwesomeness's browser changenotes: reduces performance automatically when @OrigamiRobot posts a message
Just gotta decide on a color cheme.
That's actually my 2nd one. The 1st doesn't look nearly as nice and uses a lot more silver.
@Unionhawk You've figured it out! Mozilla bug reporting, here I come!

Q: How does the compass work?

BatophobiaIn adventure mode, I've received a compass card for completing one of the battles. How does it work? Is there a certain place I should use it?

Actually, they'd probably respond with something like, it's an unexpected feature
Ugh, I just got it out and it's so bad.
@OrigamiRobot Pic?
I'm not going to get any sleep tonight after finding this website.
02:27
Hrm... do I pizza, or do I pizza?
@Unionhawk Neither. Do pizza
@RedRiderX It's like the way-back-machine, but for vids
@RPiAwesomeness A bit yeah
@RedRiderX @Unionhawk Eeeh...I'd say go pizza. Pizza's kinda cliche, so I'd definitely say go pizza over other pizza. That said, Pizza is pretty good.
@OrigamiRobot Still looks better than the original color scheme :)
DAngit
02:30
You're making pizza or pizza more complex than it needs to be.
This is why proper replies are convenient.
@Unionhawk But there's so many types of pizza!
@OrigamiRobot Oui
But no, the gold parts are handpainted and very splotchy.
Did you remove some casing from around the dart chambers?
I don't remember it being that open
@RPiAwesomeness Yes
02:32
I figured
I've only ever seen one other picture of someone else doing that.
And it's beautiful.
Hoooooly balls
that's insane.
People really take this to the next level with modding
Whew
That was a fun answer

A: How can I determine the fastest orbit altitude including time warp?

SaintWackoThe short answer is that the shortest real-time orbit will always be at the altitude at which you can use the maximum time warp. On Kerbin, going from the lowest possible orbit (70km) to the orbit at which you can use max (100000x) time warp (600km), will increase your orbital period from 1834 se...

@OrigamiRobot cc @SaintWacko
So apparently in Sims 4 you can just move in to someone's house.

I'm sorry what
@LessPop_MoreFizz #drunk-city
@OrigamiRobot Reminds, I saw a ray gun thingy for sale made out of old gun parts and whatnot.
I took a picture, lemme see if I can post it...
So they're doing this so they don't have to use trucks to deliver beer.
Nice.
FAE
FAE
02:52
@LessPop_MoreFizz damn, the video on the Belgian site won't load :(
Wastelands 2. That game looks awesome. Andexpensive
But still awesome
Anyways, gnight. I haz wedding tomorrow to attend.
@LessPop_MoreFizz That... actually seems like a pretty good idea.
Not mine.
Alternate video!
Wait, dominos has "brooklyn style" pizza now? (yes I know what that means I use the quotes to mean dominos is not that, and never will be that)
02:55
(Finding original Simpsons clips on the Internet is far too difficult. :()
@Unionhawk They have for years; it's actually probably their least bad offering
@Unionhawk Don't you mean Brooklyn style "pizza"?
(inb4 someone criticizes my pizza choices I ORDER CHEAP PIZZA BECAUSE IT'S CHEAP DAMMIT)
FAE
FAE
@LessPop_MoreFizz lol
@LessPop_MoreFizz Must be new at this one then I guess.
@Unionhawk Whatever fills your belly and (hopefully) doesn't cause diarrhea.
02:56
Also, I will once again be the one that nobody agrees with and say Domino's pizza is not terrible anymore. It's actually acceptable as pizza now. To me.
It used to be literal cardboard
Now it's better.
FAE
FAE
@Unionhawk that word does not mean what you think it means :P
Like, I think before they put cheese and sauce on pizza boxes, and baked that.
I'm pretty sure that's what old Domino's did.
@Unionhawk I was joking when I said "pizza" and the diarrhea comment was meant to be general and not directed at Domino's.
@StrixVaria so far I don't hate it but if the author uses the word "laced" one more time I swear I might ragequit.
@Unionhawk I like Dominos
02:58
Okay good, I'm not in the room with just, like the new yorkers LessPop and Strix to tell me that I'm wrong about pizza forever.
I've certainly had better pizza before, but as a normal pizza dominos is a great option
sadly they don't deliver to me anymore
This is a sad thing
A sad situation for everyone involved
(being just you, incidentally)
@Unionhawk And the mouse in my pocket
This is going to be the fastest pizza ever
I elected to take the not-pan-pizza for once
Mmm, now I want pizza, but I don't have any place that delivers
03:06
@Unionhawk There's nothing wrong about liking Domino's. There's just something wrong about liking Domino's over something like a handmade brick oven pizza.
Fair.
But I will point out that the exact situation I described had very likely happened.
@Unionhawk What, Less and Strix telling you that you were wrong about pizza forever? Yeah, I'm pretty sure that happened.
FAE
FAE
G'night all
@FAE G'night.
I should probably go to sleep soon too.
> Our Delivery Expert
"Delivery Expert"?
03:11
@Unionhawk Kid with bike or car
Is that just a meaningless title to make people feel better about themselves?
I will refer to all Domino's delivery people as "Executive Delivery Boy" from now on.
(except not really)
Hey, drivers are the ones that deserve the most respect IMO
Yes, hence the not really
@Unionhawk There's a futurama clip for this, but I'm just to lazy to find a copy online. So pretend I did
@Ktash Yes. This is the joke I was making.
03:15
I know. I was going to find the clip. But gave up
boom
you're welcome, internet
I was thinking of the clip from the first episode when he first gets the job
Oh, no, this is more precisely the joke I was making.
Also, pretty sure "quality check" on the pizza tracker is a euphemism for "it's not out for delivery yet"
@Unionhawk Pretty sure that's every step prior to "on its way"
and maybe even some of that one too
Double bacon best pizza.

Q: Where can I download Helgen Reborn skyrim mod

user87477Can anyone please tell me where can I download helgen reborn skyrim mod for free..?

@Lazers Question content makes me think this might be related to piracy??
... maybe not
@Ktash I think it's just people being dumb with their questions
03:45
Yeah, I can't find a download website for it that charges...
03:59
@Fluttershy What, noooo
This means the owner Yotoon is either very sick or dead since a year, and no one else has access to the servers...
:(
@Unionhawk wow, wtf =[
I know. It's a very morbid way for a project to go.
wallhaven.cc is a thing, in alpha, has a mailing list
When it gets to beta they're going to move the wallbase collection there
@Fluttershy Awww :(
Can I replace stars with a ":(" in this case?

Just had a post that was doing really well removed from reddit's indiegaming subreddit.
Wonder what the deal is.
reddit mods amirite
(I'm right)
shhh I'm a reddit mod
but seriously, wtf
is it even deleted
you can still go to the link
Comments seem to be cleared
I don't see it on the subreddit page
I have no idea
I don't know
No clue
I messaged the mods
"wtf m8s?"
04:21
not exactly
I am disappointed.
I feel extra bad because of the devs of the game I posted were really happy they got posted, and that it was getting so many upvotes. They pm'd me later to ask why I'd deleted it.
every time I refresh it it has a different vote count
wtf
Huh. So Twitch channels can host other channels now?
Like, instead of a raid, you just redirect your viewers as a streamer (or promote another stream)
That's.... kind of cool
I hope I didn't get spongebobbed on reddit...

Shadowbanned

lol
Isn't that the one where you aren't only banned, but your traffic is slowed to virtually 0 without you figuring it out?
MY DOUBLE CLICK TO DICTIONARY THINGS EXTENSION ISN'T WORKING
Nope, that's not it
Also apparently r/shadowbanned is a thing.
Goddamn I remember buying this stupid logitech piece of crap for like $35. Now it's $10.
...oh, regular price is $30.
this is probably why I remembered that.

Q: Is there any benefit to beating Hyrule Warriors levels on all difficulties?

Mag RoaderAfter I beat a level on a difficulty, that difficulty gets a check mark atop it.

Is there any benefit to beating levels on all difficulties (other than check marks for the sake of ...

I think I might splurge and get the mid-range logitech G series headset. Still comparing things though.
So it turns out that there are a lot of people who make headsets in the world.
For those of you like me who did not realize this
@Unionhawk The G930 is quite nice. A little steep, but quite nice.
It's 160 retail... I could get decent headphones and a blue yeti for that if I wanted..... but it is wireless...
If you've bought any bundles from groupees in the past 12 months, you'll find this bundle automatically added to your profile (for free). Contains one steam game, which I've never heard of, but it looks like a neat... music game?
Achievement get: find a steam game @GnomeSlice has never heard of
Ooo... newegg has it for $130...
strokes facial hair contemplatively
why would you pay such money for a headset? .__.
04:56
@Unionhawk The wireless aspect is what makes it really awesome. I can't stand any more cords than I must. I'm currently using Sony's wireless gaming headset for the PS3, which is nice, but the logitech one has much better sound and range.
Yeah, I was annoyed using the old whatever the heck I was using before.
I don't even think it was a G series
No, it must have been, it's just not a thing anymore
I kind of want one if only to discover how dolby surround sound works with a headset.
Oh, amazon has it for $108. This is becoming more feasible.
I'm not the world's biggest audiophile, but when I tried it in the store, it sounded really nice. The depth / distance that you'd expect was there and easy to appreciate.
Though... wireless does add a failure point...
Especially since there's a lot of shit that uses 2.4 GHz
I've heard about people having issues with that, but never experienced them myself.
05:15
I'm going to go with the G430s. They're cheaper, have 7.1 dolby still, are USB, and... well, mostly cheaper. I don't exactly trust logitech with an expensive headset
05:29
@Unionhawk Yes. Basically your submissions are all made invisible to the regular users of the site
Usually used for spammers, so that they don't figure out they've been banned
@PrivatePansy No, it's a different thing. There's a type of hellban that just slows your incoming traffic to zero.
@Unionhawk Wow, that site had a bus factor of 1?
The site seemed like it took more than a single person to maintain
@Unionhawk The type of ban where the site responds to your request very slowly or drops most of the requests?
@PrivatePansy Yeah, it's a thing I think
Heard of the concept before, but I'm not sure if reddit has it
I'm going to guess not

Q: Weapon with locked slot

BatophobiaI recently discovered a weapon with a single slot, but it was locked. Instead of an ability, it has a symbol with crossing swords in it followed by "x 1000". I am unable to use it in the smith, so I assume there is something there. What does this mean? How do I unlock it?

Q: Is there a limit to the number of weapons you can carry?

BatophobiaIn getting an awful lot of swords. Is there a limit to how many of the same weapon I can end up having? If so, what is the max and what happens if I get another one? The only way I've seen to get rid of weapons is to put abilities into empty slots using the smith. Is there another way to trim d...

Does anyone have a clue about a twitch.tv app for ps3? Just to watch streams

4 hours ago, by Unionhawk
Have I mentioned how much I hate @OrigamiRobot for peer pressuring me into this stupid kittens game that I can't stop playing goddammit
crap, I just accidentally bought ~1300 trade ships for my kittens...
I wish I could reorganize the order of crafting buttons
And @Chippies. I hate him too.
Mostly because his kittens have 3000 trade ships.
@Unionhawk only 1781
@Chippies I think you mean 3000.
06:24
out of my 1781 ships I only meant to buy 30...
the rest were accidents
Well, now you have all of the trade ships
All of them
I don't even want them
I was saving for an observatory :(
That's what they all say
06:26
although I guess it's kinda cool that I can accidentally buy 1300 ships ;)
Meanwhile, time to let this thing run for a night and have all the things (except conveniently the things I need to progress at this point)
too close and too similar :(
Yeeeah, I've been real careful about steel and gears lately
Though coal production is going up a lot
So that's good
Year 187, working on astronomy
@Unionhawk I've made plenty of gears by accident, but at least those are useful, unlike ships
I mean, I guess the ships increase my resource limits by a tiny bit, but meh...
Do multiple steamworks do anything?
06:30
@Unionhawk when you reach resource cap, it converts certain amount of resources
higher steamworks = more resources
also, if you have printing press, it prints manuscripts faster
Right
Printing press is only helpful if you have furs, right?
Or...
@Unionhawk nope
doesn't need anything
so, get that thing asap
Wait, so it literally is free things?
Sweet
06:32
it produces manuscripts out of thin air
So I will be getting things for progression overnight! \o/
Well, possibly
also, later on you get magneto, which increases production rate of everything and steamworks improves that by 15% per level
Okay, so more than one steamworks is a thing to get.
Good. (I accidentally got a second one)
@Unionhawk 2 steamworks is 3 times faster than 1 steamworks when it comes to printing blueprints
Brilliant.
06:34
with just one you get 0.001, with 2 you get 0.003
Wait, so you're not supposed to use a can opener for that?
@Blem I am genuinely curious, how does one open soda with a can opener?
@Unionhawk huh, didn't think it would fit so well
06:37
In other news
ffs, another 100 ships... >.>
TIL @Chippies is in charge of the kitten navy
I'd love it if there was an option to remove certain materials from the crafting list on the left
@Unionhawk All I need is an upgrade for my trade ships that adds cannons and I'll be set for life
Cannon: Equip trade ships with fighting capabilities to FORCE those unruly other races to like you (+30% cooperation)
OH
OH MAN
I SEE MANUSCRIPTS GENERATING
IT IS GOOD DAY
(it's not just springtime: ifIsFull() craftThings())
@Unionhawk pretty sure it's only springtime
06:50
Is it?
Well, whatever it is
and you get an upgrade later that makes it work twice a year
It's super lame compared to what I expected
But it is what it is
well, I did once sit at max wood for 10 minutes until I was informed that it only works in springtime
It's designed for "walk away for 8 hours"
it works great over night
06:51
And works in literally no other situation
if you're going to be around, it's best to turn steamworks off early on
you can generate more manuscripts by assigning more hunters, assuming you're around to convert them
and early on, the steel is very important, so that extra coal really makes a difference
but steamworks is great for the night
good thing is that coal production reduction is static regardless of steamworks level
06:55
I can't wait to start stabbing unicorns to get that +10% happiness
That's huge
@Unionhawk huh?
what exactly gives the +10% happiness?
Sep 24 at 16:59, by Origami Robot
Having any amount of tears is worth 10% happiness
@Unionhawk dafuq, that does not sound right
Ask the paperbot then
I just got 10 extra tears and my happiness did not change
oh wait
"any amount"
so it doesn't matter if I have 0.001 or 999
06:58
Any amount meaning 0.1 is the same as 10
Yes.
yeah, that makes more sense then
Same as having an amount of unicorns
at first I thought 10% per tear
Lolno
that would be insanely overpowered
I have an achievement for having 150% happiness
although I haven't been able to get it that high ever since...
