More games should have a blood-for-game exchange program.

I'd like to donate a pint of blood as a preorder for X game, please!

Unionhawk

@KevinvanderVelden BUT HE'S PLAYING BLOODBORNE

That game looks badass

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk I know, and he should totally be telling chat all about it

After all, what's the point in playing a game if you can't make everyone else jealous?

Unionhawk

HE'S ALREADY MAKING EVERYONE ELSE JEALOUS BECAUSE IT'S A DAMN PS4 EXCLUSIVE

DON'T YOU SEE

Note: I don't like the souls series so I'm not interested in this game =p

So I'm just teasing =p

@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment well then...

I'm fairly sure that'd be a hit here, there's plenty of people that love to explain jokes, right?

Does the Wii U do gamecube games?

I don't think so

Whatever

Yuuki

@Unionhawk I think it does some Gamecube games. Through the Virtual Console.

But no, it doesn't play discs.

Q: Is there an official Minecraft PE server?

I've installed and been keeping up with the PocketMine-MP effort (https://www.pocketmine.net/), but the outstanding bugs make it unplayable in my opinion. They are working hard to make good progress, but it seems it will be a while before it is solid. Is there an official (closed-source) servic...

@Unionhawk Is there any other way to do it?

I don't think post-emptively planning on what to take to your house really works.

Blem

Longest going hand in Hearthstone, been going for 26h+

Batophobia

@Blem I have no idea what's going on

Frank

@Blem I posted that when it was around the seven hour mark.

Rapitor

@Batophobia the guy did a lot of things to set up a scenario where some 200,000+ magic missles are attacking an invincible enemy

Frank

3:30 PM

It's supposed to go for something like 40+ hours.

Blem

It is pretty restarted, his monsters buffs his spell damage to insane amount, then the spell he uses animates each damage and the opponent has a secret that makes him immune to fatal damage for the rest of the turn

5pike

@Batophobia Here's an explanation (it's in French, though)

Batophobia

@5pike Don't know French :/

Q: Can you tie in Hearthstone?

I'm curious about some of the hearthstone rules - If a warlock plays hellfire when both heroes are at 3hp or less, who wins? Do you tie? Or if, hypothetically speaking, your opponent has 5hp, and you have 3hp. You play a leper gnome, and then hellfire. Does your opponent win? Do you tie?

I'm not actually playing Bloodborne, you guys. I'm just excited about it.

Frank

And some user destruction would not be amiss, either.

fredley

@Frank Orbital nukes detonated

That question really gets some vandalism

Unionhawk

bug user deletion does not wipe the username from frontpage or caching?

Caching. Of course.

OF COURSE

MMM. QUITE RIGHT.

monocle

Holy shit that's at $88k

Are you serious

Tim Stone

No one ever wants to risk being without a monocle.

Matt Giltaji

> Just to be absolutely clear, because people have asked: It is not a condom. It is made of hard plastic and metal. If you attempt to use it as a condom, you will definitely hurt yourself, and you may experience the miracle of life.

Yuuki

Y'know, I find it weird/interesting that the people who are most likely to use tanning salons also tend to be the people who spend a larger portion of their time outside, and thus would tan naturally anyways.

Matt Giltaji

@Yuuki aren't you jealous of that dark, leathery skin look?

fredley

@Yuuki protip: don't use tanning salons (not ones that tan you by lightly burning your skin anyway)

Rapitor

4:14 PM

@Yuuki it still baffles me on what is attractive about tan, but eh. to each their own

fredley

@Rapitor Blame Coco Chanel

Rapitor

@fredley ...?

Yuuki

Eh, naturally tanned skin is healthy. Sunlight promotes Vitamin D, after all.

fredley

@Rapitor 4th paragraph

Unionhawk

@fredley LIFEHACK

fredley

4:18 PM

@Yuuki Some sun is healthy, however if you're tanning you're probably getting too much.

Too much as in raising your risk of getting skin cancer

Yuuki

@fredley Huh, tan-through clothing is a thing.

fredley

@Yuuki Yeah...

Probably not a great idea

Health effects of sun exposure

The ultraviolet radiation in sunlight has both positive and negative health effects, as it is both a principal source of vitamin D3 and a mutagen. A dietary supplement can supply vitamin D without this mutagenic effect, but bypasses natural mechanisms that would prevent overdoses of vitamin D generated internally from sunlight. Vitamin D has a wide range of positive health effects, which include strengthening bones and possibly inhibiting the growth of some cancers. UV exposure also has positive effects for endorphin levels. Visible sunlight to the eyes gives health benefits through its association...

Kevin van der Velden

Sunlight is the worst

Q: Minecraft Disease

I am trying to create a "disease" in minecraft. What I am doing is setting an entities score to 1 if they have the disease, then testing if they have that disease, if they do, it would set several other scores for the effects of the disease. Then I tried to make said disease contagious. If, say a...

Q: Minecraft 1.8.1 Mac

I was wondering if you could have a server but still have firewall up? I know how to do it for windows but not for MAC please help!

Unionhawk

Tanning salons are definitely not healthy, depending on your latitude, sun exposure in general is varying degrees of bad.

Yuuki

4:26 PM

So I saw Jupiter and Venus last night. I know that's not a big deal for most people, but you normally can't see them here due to all the pollution.

Unionhawk

For example in the tropics, where the UV index is a solid 11 all the time, fucking wear sunscreen

fredley

@Unionhawk Yeah. No sunlight exposure is definitely bad. I mean, you'll live, and you can take supplements, but the psychological aspects will still get to you

Unionhawk

In Canada... well...

You'll probably survive

fredley

@Unionhawk If you're in the tropics, just don't go outside while the sun is up.

Yuuki

Or just don't go outside.

Unionhawk

4:26 PM

@fredley That's... not an option for some people.

Many people, in the tropics

Many people work outside because tourism

fredley

@Unionhawk Yeah. It depends on your skin colour too.

Unionhawk

This is also true

ROUND 1: FIGHT (United States Telecom Association v. Federal Communications Commission and United States of America has begun)

Tim Stone

That one will probably get dismissed.

Rapitor

Batophobia

@TimStone Never underestimate the stupidity of American politics

Unionhawk

4:33 PM

It's not politics, it's in the courts hands at the moment

Yuuki

Huh, my uni's showing Boyhood.

Matt Giltaji

@Unionhawk courts are political

Tim Stone

No, it's because they don't have standing. The order isn't supposed to go into force until 60 days after the decision, so there's nothing to file suit against.

Rapitor

apparently Verizon wants to sit out, for now...

Tim Stone

Verizon did the same thing back when it caused the mess in the first place.

Unionhawk

4:34 PM

@MattGiltaji Disagree in regards to the higher courts.

Tim Stone

Got dismissed, then filed again after it actually mattered.

Frank

@fredley Not anymore, it doesn't.

Batophobia

@Unionhawk Given that Justices are appointed based on their political views, I'd say the courts are pretty political

Unionhawk

Either way I think if it came to that sort of decision, it'll go 5-4 yes, given how they ruled in December 13 or whenever they decided "No, you technically don't have the authority to do this"

Yuuki

Why on earth would they file so early if it's likely to be dismissed?

Matt Giltaji

4:36 PM

@Yuuki cause lawyers want moar fees

Tim Stone

@Yuuki "Just in case" someone decides that the order went into effect when it was announced.

Unionhawk

Yes, this whole thing is a victory for telecom lawyers

Expected to net all of the money in the world

Regardless of outcome

Yuuki

By the by, we really need someone to ELI5 net neutrality if they haven't already and think of the most stupid extreme edge cases when this goes to Supreme Court.

Matt Giltaji

@Yuuki what if we need to throttle a grandma for pirating music?

Frank

@Unionhawk Mostly, the FCC can point to the court decision against it from Verizon. Who said they didn't have the authority to do so, so now they do.

Unionhawk

4:39 PM

I'm trying to find the progress of that bill that's literally "These rules made by the FCC are void, and can never be brought up again"

fredley

@MattGiltaji Throttling grandma is never the answer

Matt Giltaji

@fredley but piracy! won't someone think of the children?

Yuuki

We did. There aren't any children anymore because we throttled them.

John

Oh no, a discussion on throttling

Is this happy or should I leave?

Rapitor

@Yuuki phrasing.

John

4:45 PM

@Rapitor I think that was the point.

Frank

Security expert dies. Wife now has to deal with aftermath of secured servers.

Matt Giltaji

@Frank the car they were in is a mess. i'm surprised the wife survived at all

John

@Wipqozn You were way too hard on that guy in the Android room.

Frank

@MattGiltaji Indeed.

Yuuki

> “Death is a nuclear option,” Kalat said. Exceptions to important protocols are often made when a death takes place. A security expert himself, Kalat wondered if and how hackers and social engineers used that security weakness to their advantage.

That's terrifying on so many levels.

John

4:49 PM

@MattGiltaji I didn't even realize it was a car until I saw the caption

It just looked like a mess of junk

Matt Giltaji

@Yuuki my thoughts exactly

Yuuki

> "Make sure they are equipped to survive without you.”

That sentence...

John

That guy calls death a "technique"

Yuuki

My brain understands it as very reasonable and practical.

Matt Giltaji

@Yuuki but it's like a punch to the gut

Yuuki

4:53 PM

Pretty much, yeah.

John

> “Apple has no right of survivorship,” Kalat explained, “so there’s no automatic access for the next of kin. They feel that the data is personal and private, so access should die with the user.”

On one hand, that seems so reasonable. On the other hand, it doesn't.

Yuuki

@John More like faking someone's death, but I feel like he's more getting into the head of a sociopathic hacker.

Matt Giltaji

@John i wonder if that's the kind of thing you can put into a will

I leave my apple account to xyz...

John

@Yuuki I know, it's just weird to think of that

Frank

@MattGiltaji Probably, actually.
