StrixVaria

17:00

@Arperum I own Terraria but I'm not sure I've ever launched it.

Someone gifted it to me.

Arperum

@StrixVaria I got 300+ hours in it. And most of that pre 1.1, some 1.1 play too, and barely any time post 1.2.

StrixVaria

Not my kind of game, but I am happy that the developer is still putting out tons of new content.

For free.

Arperum

Yea. The original dev isn't working on it anymore I think, he has a couple other people working on it though, he's working on something else IIRC.

But I'm pretty sure he can and will still veto stuff.

@SaintWacko Also: steam achievements.

Q: why cant my kindle fire host worlds?

Ok so I have searched and searched for answers and I can never find one that works. For a . Long time I have been able to join other people worlds but none can join mine because it never pops up. We are on kindle and we have the same update, multiplayer server visable, and we are on the same Wi-F...

Didn't the original Terraria people go on to make Starbound? Which is stuck in Early Access hell or something?

I haven't played either game, I just think I remember reading that

Arperum

@twobugs That was only the original spriter.

wolfboyft

Hello! Remember that... incident with @ParanoidPanda yesterday? Well... it really was all staged. We're some eccentric friends and wish for him not to be suspended, him and I.

Arperum

That is one achievement

wolfboyft

Apparently he's suspended for a day, he says.

Arperum

@wolfboyft Seems like that day is over. You would have been better of checking first.

wolfboyft

He said.

He was still suspended.

Don't ask me!

Arperum

17:09

Or he was not suspended at all. He isn't now anyway.

wolfboyft

Oh.

Well, I'll tell him, and tell you what he says.

Arperum

I can't see a history, just the current state.

wolfboyft

K.

StrixVaria

@wolfboyft I got the feeling that you knew each other, but I didn't notice him getting suspended.

Arperum

@StrixVaria Neither did I.

StrixVaria

17:10

He's not currently suspended, nor has he been recently.

So I have no idea what you're talking about.

wolfboyft

Actually, you have no idea what he's talking about :P

StrixVaria

Let's stop with the patent nonsense posts.

wolfboyft

I'm just telling you all on his behalf, or so I though.

Okay.

Arperum

@wolfboyft Exactly.

StrixVaria

We're tired of it from recent events.

@wolfboyft No one here has any particular attachment to someone who was in chat once for a few minutes. We don't need you to talk on his behalf.

wolfboyft

17:12

Okay... but,

then there's the thing that said that I was suspended for calling him a Fatso—that really isn't nonsense.

StrixVaria

If you want to participate in chat, the best thing to do is observe for a while and try to understand what our culture is like.

@wolfboyft He flagged you.

wolfboyft

Okay.

That git!

Argh!

StrixVaria

So let's stop with insults, and try to calm down and fit into the room's established culture.

wolfboyft

Right... um, okay...

StrixVaria

So, a little advice. We recently had an issue with a user who came out of nowhere, who was extremely disruptive and oblivious to context. The room collectively is tired of dealing with that kind of presence, so please do your best not to fit that description.

wolfboyft

17:15

Huh. May I ask who it was?

StrixVaria

@wolfboyft You can ask.

wolfboyft

Okay.

Who was it?

StrixVaria

But let's focus on the future, not the past.

wolfboyft

D'oh!

Arperum

@wolfboyft He/she is not coming back any time soon.

And now I'm out. I need to make food.

Tim Stone

17:16

For all of us?

wolfboyft

Please.

Tim Stone

I'm pretty hungry.

wolfboyft

Me too!

user15026

@TimStone my lunch is still 1 hr 15 min away. Yes, I am counting.

user15026

So hungry.

StrixVaria

17:17

@AshleyNunn That's so late! :(

user15026

@StrixVaria I start at 10 so I take it later.

Tim Stone

@AshleyNunn :(

@AshleyNunn How do you handle it? I had a larger than usual breakfast, I just ate about an hour ago, and I'm already hungry again

wolfboyft

@StrixVaria I've heard of the Varia, but what's the Strix?

StrixVaria

@AshleyNunn Oh that makes sense.

Arperum

17:20

@TimStone Are you coming over?

Tim Stone

If it's delicious enough, perhaps.

Arperum

@TimStone By the time you cross the ocean I am sure I can get some awesome strawberries of amazingness. Just let me know if I have to go to my parents or not :)

Q: Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut - Micro Stuttering

The game has a lot of micro-stutters throughout gameplay, most notably when entering new areas or loading in from the menus.

Arperum

@AshleyNunn Yes. I ate all 2 kg of them.

user15026

17:23

@twobugs I just do, I guess.

Arperum

And I am not sick.

Tim Stone

My fiancee is deathly allergic to strawberries so that'd be good, as I can't have them often.

user15026

I don't really notice most days, but today I am a hungry thing.

Arperum

@TimStone :(

user15026

@Arperum Yay! I feel like I would have been.

Tim Stone

17:24

@Arperum Yes :(

Arperum

@TimStone If you ever decide to come to Belgium in june, let me know, because in that case we will eat strawberries together. (The season for strawberries planted outside is drawing to an end)

wolfboyft

Look at this *lovely* person.

Tim Stone

I've been to Belgium in June before, so it might happen again!

Unionhawk

I mean, you'd have to leave like right now to get there in june

Arperum

@wolfboyft The amount of random you are spouting is pretty high. Please stop.

wolfboyft

17:28

Yeuch, fine.

Arperum

@Unionhawk Ya, that's why I had to eat 2 kg yesterday, because they are so ripe you can't preserve them for any reasonable time.

wolfboyft

Meh, I'll leave anyway.

user15026

Now I want strawberries.

Arperum

I'll probably get more tomorrow... Since I'm going to my parents again.

And now you know you can eat them in large quantities without sadness~

Q: i changed my username on minecraft and now i cant play

I changed my username and when I got on it said I can only play demo. So I went to the website and its trying to make me pay for Minecraft again help.

Arperum

@AshleyNunn Heh. Might be because as a kid/teen I had to help pick fruit, that resuls in a lot of fruit being eaten.

user15026

Perhaps. :)

user15026

I know when I ate a lot of cherries the other weekend my body was supremely sad over that.

GnomeSlice

17:50

@wolfboyft is Salt worth playing yet? Last I heard it was still incredibly bare

Didn't know it had NPCs

The sea exploration sounded neat but also looked pretty rough

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn I'm so happy that cherries are back in season

user15026

@SaintWacko Me too :D They're one of my favourite fruits.

StrixVaria

Raspberries best fruit.

user15026

Too many seeds.

user15026

and they're so tiny :(

user15026

18:00

Although I like them.

user15026

Blackberries are weird though, as are blueberries

GnomeSlice

I like most berries

user15026

I like both in things but not as a fruit to just eat

GnomeSlice

Just not dingleberries

We unused to have wild strawberries grow in my parents backyard

They were unbelievably small

StrixVaria

@AshleyNunn Definitely not as good as raspberries, but still good.

GnomeSlice

Heck, let's just blame Bridge at this point

Always loved them in muffins

Unionhawk

user15026

@GodEmperorDune Exactly.

Powerlord

Is it going home time yet?

Arperum

@StrixVaria raspberries are a the most work out of the listed berries though.

user15026

@Unionhawk We're terrible.

GnomeSlice

Dammit, Bridge!

MBraedley

18:05

@Powerlord No, not yet

StrixVaria

@Arperum I don't see how raspberries are any work at all.

GodEmperorDune

So much starbait

Unionhawk

@GnomeSlice STAR BAIT DENIED

StrixVaria

Unless you have to pick them yourself, in which case they're exactly the same amount of work as blackberries.

user15026

@StrixVaria You get very little for a long time of picking.

user15026

18:06

Same with blackberries

Arperum

@StrixVaria To keep the plants in a state where they produce a good amount of fruit.

GodEmperorDune

Whenever someone says "denied" I picture hassles off in Kung fury now

user15026

In general, berries are freaking fragile

Arperum

@AshleyNunn blackberries are way easier to pick though.

StrixVaria

@Arperum Oh, I get raspberries from the supermarket.

user15026

18:06

except strawberries, they seem to grow okay.

user15026

@Arperum They are. Raspberries are a PITA

StrixVaria

They are expensive :(

Unionhawk

@Arperum That's why they're not cheap I assume

Arperum

@StrixVaria Yea, for a reason.

GodEmperorDune

Raspberries seem to go bad in the time it takes for them to go from basket to mouth

Unionhawk

18:07

Actually, no, raspberries cross the threshold of "not cheap" to "pretty expensive"

StrixVaria

My grandmother used to have raspberry and blackberry bushes and I'd pick them and wash them and eat them.

Arperum

Blueberries are mostly pricey because it takes years before the plants grow a sizeable harvest.

StrixVaria

Free raspberries were so good.

Arperum

@GodEmperorDune Because most raspberries you find in shops are already bad when you buy them. Based on the raspberries I've seen for sale anyway.

@StrixVaria Why the washing?

StrixVaria

@Arperum Because I was told to and I was a child.

It was more like rinsing.

OKAY, PANIC.

18:09

I am starting work on upgrading the #stackoverflow #stackexchange edge routers. Once again no disruption expected

Tweeted by StackStatus on June 30, 2015 at 6:07 PM

GodEmperorDune

@Arperum farmers market actually. They just can't handle the heat

StrixVaria

That's standard practice with fruit, at least among everyone I know. You rinse it off in water before eating (unless it has a peel like an orange or a banana).

Arperum

@StrixVaria that's only needed if the plants have been sprayed with some insecticide or something.

GodEmperorDune

It removes dirt too

Arperum

@GodEmperorDune That increases the chance for quality quite a lot.

GodEmperorDune

18:11

yeah the quality is good but they go bad quick

Arperum

@GodEmperorDune If your raspberries/blackberries/blueberries have dirt on them they have been thrown on the ground for no reason.

They don't grow on the ground.

Unionhawk

More like, you don't grow on the ground

Arperum

@StrixVaria I am not used to washing my fruit because most fruit I get is from my parents, and is not tainted by any kind of insecticide or anything.

StrixVaria

@Arperum This is standard here even for fruits people grow in their yard, like tomatoes.

I don't know whether it's actually necessary, but it's just a thing everyone does.

Arperum

It does not have the "bio" label, because paying for that label is ridiculously expensive, and doesn't guarantee anything really. It just means they have to use different insecticide/pesticide stuff.

@StrixVaria I don't know the degree of air pollution you are dailing with. So it might be needed, but a bit of dirt never hurt anyone :)

user15026

18:17

I tend to wash my CSA veg but that's because the lettuces and stuff have dirt on them still and I don't like that extra crunch.

Arperum

(Assuming you are not eating dirt polluted with some really posionous stuff)

two bugs

@Arperum That's the only kind of dirt I eat.

Arperum

@AshleyNunn lettuces and other vegetables I wash too.

Because dirt and insects.

user15026

I tend not to wash anything I'm peeling.

user15026

Everything else it is a tossup to how dirty it looks.

I then grabbed the falling cube from the other side of the emancipation field, so that we were on opposite sides.
