Hi, friends!
(first time here, I am a bit nervous)
@fredley Yeah, if you don't have public users then you should be fine.
@Wipqozn Wait ... that's not a Friday link, is it?
@MartinSojka It goes to wordpress.org. I mean, yeah, that could be a Friday link, but...
@PauloCereda We're nothing to be scared of!
@fredley Says the person everyone needs to be scared of.
14:05
@Yuuki shhhh
@fredley <3
@Yuuki I am a duck, so no worries. :)
@PauloCereda I am a porkchop.
Ducks have a very short attention span.
@fredley ooh a cooked one.
He's some kind of robotic porkchop. Not sure how that works.
Which reminds me one time I had to play Minecraft on my Mac with the trackpad. I certainly had a bad time. :)
14:06
@PauloCereda Unsure if cooked, hard to tell with diamond
@fredley ooh
@PauloCereda Congrats on the RSI
Wimps. That's how I play Minecraft.
@JasonBerkan ow, my tendon sheaths are wearing away just thinking about it
Though I turn off all the mobs, because Minecraft is a seriously bad FPS.
14:08
I once tried to play Arma 2 this way.
@fredley LOL
That ... wasn't very fun.
On the other hand, Lineage 2 kinda worked.
Guys, super cereal question.
Halo or CoD: AW or none? :)
@PauloCereda always go with the fish
(bro)
@GodEmperorDune dem fish
14:11
@GodEmperorDune The fish AI is game-changing, man.
Like, I can't even look at the new Halos because there's no fish AI.
It hurts my eyes and my soul.
@GodEmperorDune So, Dwarf Fortress?
@MartinSojka ALL PRAISE THE CARP
Dwarf Fortress had the best bugs.
dwarf-eating carp, elephants that singlehandedly go on blood rages to eliminate all dwarves, and more..
14:16
@JasonBerkan y u do dis berk
@MadMAxJr Features, not bugs, man
I still like when a friend started looking under the hood of dwarf fortress, found out creatures are built in the code, and replaced all the parts of a dwarf that say 'flesh' and replaced it with obsidian. I think his dwarves lived in the lava for a time.
@fredley I'm not even certain how to respond.
It's-a me, the green Mario.
@JasonBerkan With the mobs the game is dumb because combat is dumb. Without the mobs the game is boring because there is literally no threat.
14:21
@MartinSojka That could only be a Friday link if @fredley mod abused it to be so.
@StrixVaria Peaceful/creative mode is big fun for my nephews, actually. They're 5 and 7.
Dwarf doing his job, doing his job, doing his job, then stops. Somewhere. Somewhere on this land, another dwarf has died. And he dropped shoes. SHOES. MUST ACQUIRE SHOES.
@StrixVaria You build things for fun.
blegh Sorry, had to get the feedbot out of my system.
It creeps back every now and then.
14:24
@JasonBerkan That was entertaining for a while when I first got Minecraft. I suspect I will also be doing that with my daughter once she's old enough to play the game.
@Yuuki LOLOLOL
Though my oldest two kids are a great example of differences in gamers. The eldest likes to make things blow up and needs to play games that allow him to win. The next one just likes to build things.
I can't let them anywhere near each other in Minecraft.
@JasonBerkan As long as you keep the older one on mini-game servers, you should be fine.
The personality also shows up when they play LEGO. Son #1 lines up all the minifigures and has battles (or creates a miniature wargame out of them). Son #2 builds towns.
I built my forts in minecraft, lined with TNT inside the walls. But this was back when punching would set it off.
14:28
@MadMAxJr You can't set off TNT by punching it anymore?
Once someone got too nosy or started poking holes in thing, I just punched a brick and the whole thing went up in a server lagging blaze of glory.
TNT requires redstone or fire now, if i recall
Speaking of LEGO, I get to go to Moose Jaw tomorrow. I know y'all are jealous.
@MadMAxJr or flint and steel
or fire in general
@MadMAxJr That's a long time ago
I've had minecraft since it was early beta. :P
14:29
@JasonBerkan super super jealous
@MadMAxJr Alpha
Those were the days
Game was like ten bucks back then?
Before pumpkins
Right with ya, @fredley
Before endermen
14:30
Before the nether
Alpha 1.0.2 iirc
@MBraedley Minecart boosters
@fredley I remember boosters well
@MadMAxJr I got it for $5.
I think I bought it during the alpha.
I even have a question about transitioning from boosters to powered rail
Before snow
Before redstone was called restone
14:31
When was snow introduced?
@fredley The first world I ever launched was snowing, but this was before biomes so that means that the entire world was snowing all the time forever.
Hell, before boats
@StrixVaria Yeah. I remember starting multiple worlds trying to get a snow world
A friend is a parent of two. I had to suppress a laugh during a visit to play cards, as he was scolding his children over their server management. "What's going on in here?" "He came into my room and touched my stuff!" "Did you do that?" "Yes.. But the trap still wasn't fair!" Dad looks at the instance.. "Did you build an inescapable deathtrap with bait you knew your brother was going to touch?" "... Yesss." "You're both grounded from minecraft."
I never had a use for boats in my first world, so I don't know if I was in before boats or not.
@MadMAxJr Setting traps for each other is like 90% of the fun of a server.
14:33
There's a new rule in his home. "Dad always had admin rights on the server."
I had a chunk error in my multiplayer world that destroyed my home (and part of the castle my brother and I built) though.
I had a friend who had like a 10-block drop leap of faith to get to his hidden base, so at the bottom of the drop I put TNT and pressure plates and encased it in obsidian.
He's also mentioned his kids have gotten into physical altercations over one of them performing a server patch without the others consent. I informed him his kids are ready for the world of professional IT.
@StrixVaria That's just evil
@MBraedley We both laughed, and then I helped him fix it.
14:35
@MadMAxJr May God have mercy on their souls.
@StrixVaria I remember our old ftb server
Pressure plate, four doors that snap shut to lock you in, mechanism above that fills door-cage with water.
I had a trap that put people in an inescapable prison made of unbreakable blocks, sucked away all their items from their inventory, then force-fed them so they couldn't die.
That was a fun trap
@fredley That's The Sims levels of evil.
@fredley I remember someone trapping an annoying animal behind a wall of my little cabin's basement.
14:39
@MBraedley Which animal was that?
@fredley A cricket of some sort, I think. Made a really annoying noise
> In prison, a teardrop tattoo under your eye tells people that you've killed someone. Outside of prison, you say the same thing with clown makeup.
@MBraedley Oh yeah, that was fun.
Never let a minecraft admin install a mod that makes all mob spawns into creepers.
> Observation: Subject Beef eats all his meals on the toilet, his body acting like a steady pipeline of disaster. If I didn't know better, I'd say it's almost like he's trying to get back at water.
14:42
Well, he is hydrophobic.
> The subject survived over six days, his time, inside the booth with no water, food or sleep. The strange thing is that at the moment of his death, he still had a full Fun Bar
Wow. Different personalities. If you did any of that to me in Minecraft, I would never play with you again.
Tuesday.
@Sterno -wants to flag-
14:46
@fredley Making him hydrophobic and then also making the only way to get to the fridge by going through the pool is amazing.

Q: How does the referral system work?

Vanguard66I don't understand how the referral program works even after reading everything about it. Do I only get the 500 CC if the referred person subscribes within 14 days, or if I just refer the person? And do I get 500 CC for every month that referred person subscribes, or is it just one time?

@Sterno That's weird. @fredley's script doesn't flag that unless I refresh the page.
@Yuuki I HAVE DEFEATED @FREDLEY
I mean, I knew it was Friday because kfVsfOSbJY0.
That's what made me double-take since the script didn't flag it.
Refreshed and there's the caution.
Weird.
@Yuuki Same with the "burn this message" button.
It only exists on messages that exist on pageload.
14:51
I'm using the individual scripts, and they both work fine. Maybe the monolithic script is too slow.
15:04
@Sterno NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO‌​OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Q: Is there a way to disable the Guard animation?

Vanguard66When you use the Guardian's ability named Guard, it protects other characters. It is very useful in many situations. However, is there a way to disable the animation where there is a shield around the guarded character? It is annoying.

0
Q: How does the collections system work?

Vanguard66How does the collection system work? I bought several GT-23s from the GTN for 100 credits each. I then looked at my collections to see GT-23 there. It says that if I pay 60 CC I can get more GT-23s. Does this mean that if I get an item and I pay to unlock it in the collections system then I get c...

> Spying on the common rabble is fine. Spying on us is horribly despicable.
@Rapitor IR and UV and such added?
> As with many interventions intended to prevent ill health, the effectiveness of parachutes has not been subjected to rigorous evaluation by using randomised controlled trials. Advocates of evidence based medicine have criticised the adoption of interventions evaluated by using only observational data.
We think that everyone might benefit if the most radical protagonists of evidence based medicine organised and participated in a double blind, randomised, placebo controlled, crossover trial of the parachute.
@KevinvanderVelden seems like. "Four images from New Horizons’ Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) were combined with color data from the Ralph instrument"
@PrivatePansy hmmm... what would a placebo parachute look like?
It would look exactly like a normal parachute, but when you pull the string nothing happens.
15:33
@PrivatePansy The placebo parachute effect is when you still slow down and hit the ground softly despite there being no actual canopy to cause drag
You laugh, but then we discover telekinesis or something and then Age of Apocalypse happens.
All because someone wanted to make a joke about randomized placebo-controlled trials for parachutes.
@Yuuki I think that's pretty much the best-case outcome
Age of Apocalypse is really not the best-case scenario, but all right.
user15026
Kid in a stroller on the bus has a Minecraft creeper plush and he keeps patting it and going "nice creepy, nice creepy" and for some reason this is cracking me up
@Yuuki At least you lived long enough to see the end of the world, instead of being a splotch of red gibs on the pavement
@AshleyNunn Go up behind him and start hissing
15:40
@Yuuki No, I mean the part where a rigorous trial of parachutes of all things gives us an unexpected outcome and we discover superpowers
@AshleyNunn That's adorably terrifying.
@murgatroid99 Well yeah, that'd be pretty awesome.

Q: Disable "Server Violation: Punkbuster Disabled" message while playing COD 4 with BOTS

OUTBREAKOk so while playing COD 4 Multiplayer on a LAN wit BOTS (PEZbots) i keep getting this annoying message on the game while playing which says "Server Violation: Punkbuster Disabled". I dont wanna play with the Punkbuster enabled, so is there any simple way of getting rid of this message from my gam...

@AshleyNunn i guess that kid's house is made of obsidian
seems like the latest game the internet is going crazy about is poly bridge
15:50
engineering games make me sad because I never get anything to stop exploding
Yuuki must be bored
So, one of our managers is retiring next week with no one taking over her job.
note to self: next time you're outside all day set sunscreen alarms
Also, can we get to work on high speed rail? Travelling across all of Ohio is too much time to drive
15:59
Because apparently we think having no one in charge of the server team is a good idea.
I want a train from my house to Sandusky
Is someone repeatedly going back and editing old posts, because chat keeps periodically stopping, scrolling up and coming back down.
@Unionhawk There's a joke there somewhere.
No there isn't
@Powerlord The VM Server now manages the servers. Problem Solved stamp goes here
16:02
Ah. It's a horrible, horrible joke that no one should make.
Googled "Sandusky" to see why it sounded familiar and would be used as joke fodder.
@Powerlord Stupid TF2 server newbie question. When the client yells that your map doesn't match the server, and it just downloaded the map from the server, is it the file on the server at fault?
@Yuuki I mean Sandusky, Ohio
you idiot
But thx

Q: Identify this iOS game I forgot it's name

justanotherprogrammerMy question is really simple and I made this account just so I could ask it. I need to identify this game(I don't have any pictures but I can describe it) with a ladybug that can turn around wooden boxes and has to journey through forests. I'm pretty desperate to know the answer because I made th...

@Unionhawk I know that's what you meant, but I was looking for a joke to make.
I'm in too moderate of an amount of pain for jokes
Between 8 total hours in transit and apparently not enough sunscreen, RIP @Uni
16:08
@Unionhawk Alternatively: Never go outside.

@StrixVaria This is not a viable option.
Cool things are outside.
You can see cool things safely from inside.
@StrixVaria Once your daughter discovers a beach, let me know how this works for you.
@JasonBerkan I hated the beach as a kid (and still do).
I grew up on Okinawa. Beach was 15 minutes in any direction.
16:09
My daughter has gone to a beach once, though (while I was at work, of course, as with all things), and so far she likes it.
I'm not a beach person, but I have to drag my kids away from water.
@StrixVaria Or you can experience cool things safely from outside
We're taking a trip to the beach later this year, actually.
I'm reading the actually being on the beach part.
I didn't even get to accomplish all of my goals yesterday due to mechanical issues
But it was still pretty great
The boardwalk and going to new restaurant parts of the trip will be fine.
But sun and sand and saltwater are bad.
I actually live like ~20 minutes from a beach and haven't gone in the like 3-4 years I've lived here.
16:10
Beaches are the worst.
The new ride there shut down with us in the line, and they were evacuating the lift hill
So that was a fun time
We got to see how exactly one evacuates a floorless roller coaster
(they put down like a metal plank to act as a temporary floor)
The worst parts of beaches are the unrelenting sun (which I hear may be mostly an issue due to the specific beaches near me, which don't have any shade; beaches in more tropical areas have trees sometimes or something) and the sand that gets everywhere (which is probably an issue on any beach).
Sand can fuck off.
2
It wasn't the sand that bothered me. It was the fact that SEA URCHINS exist.
@MadMAxJr Well, yeah, the third thing on my list is any potential wildlife you encounter is inevitably awful.
16:12
Dammit. Now you have me missing Hawaii. Thank god it's not winter.
Jellyfish are the worst, sea urchins are also the worst.
Any kind of crab you'd find on a beach near me is the worst.
Do we need to develop a double elimination bracket for 'the worst' ?
@MadMAxJr I don't know, @Wipqozn is the clear favorite to win.
user15026
My parents live near a lake, and I liked it as a kid because we would just drive 5 minutes, swim, and then leave. So all the worst parts (sitting on sand, etc) were pretty much eliminated.
@AshleyNunn Walking on sand with wet feet is pretty awful.
My grandparents live on a lake but I still have to deal with that aspect if I want to swim in it.
16:14
We drove by several probably million dollar plus houses on the way up, that had like, lakefront decks and private beaches and stuff.
user15026
@StrixVaria I never really had an issue with it. I don't love it, but it isn't a huge beach so you hit grass where you can wipe the sand off pretty fast.
That would be a pretty sweet deal
@AshleyNunn Grass is so good.
Flip-flops are mandatory beach footwear.
Grass is like the opposite of sand in terms of how amazing it is of a surface to walk on barefoot.
user15026
16:15
@JasonBerkan As soon as I can get away with it, I wear flip flops all summer
Flip-flops are overrated
@Unionhawk You walk into the water, wash the sand off your feet and walk out. Switch to shoes / sandals when off the beach.
I live an hour away from Galveston. Beaches are the worst. Although that may be biased because Galveston has probably the worst beaches in the US.
user15026
@Unionhawk I hate wearing shoes of any kind, this is my compromise.
@JasonBerkan Or just wear sandals with arch support and stuff
16:16
(Galveston is about 30 minutes away from Texas City, a place with lots of refineries)
I wear Chacos literally all the time
user15026
@Unionhawk Oh, mine have like arch support and stuff, but I spent a good amount of money on them for that purpose.
I don't like getting my sandals wet.
@JasonBerkan wat
YOU HEARD ME!
16:18
AND I WATTED AT YOU
@AshleyNunn Hmm... acceptable.
user15026
I had Vibrams that I wanted to love but I suspect that I have the wrong size because they dig into the backs of my feet and I just haven't bothered with replacing them
user15026
(Also they take a while to get on and off, especially if your feet are even a little damp)
@Wipqozn shakes head - and you live on an island.
Though I don't remember any good beaches around Halifax.
user15026
@StrixVaria I am sad that I will likely miss most of the stuff I like because of my work schedule.
@AshleyNunn :(
In a lucky coincidence for me, the rest of my team is going to be in Japan this upcoming week, so will be able to freely watch SGDQ from work.
I am not going to Japan because the trip overlaps my daughter's first birthday.
16:26
What part of Japan are they going to?
@MadMAxJr Tokyo.
Moderately jealous!
You can tell I'm a jaded father of more than one kid. I'm thinking I would totally skip my kid's first birthday to go to Tokyo.
@JasonBerkan In retrospect, I kind of wish I had decided that.
My wife is making a huge deal out of the party and I'm just like "she won't even know what's happening."
And she won't remember a thing.
16:28
Right.
@StrixVaria My sister's coming back from Japan this Sunday.
I'm terrified and I think I'll be out of the house all day.
Japan is a strange place of completely alien culture and ethics for folks from the western world. It's nice to visit, but very difficult to adapt to if you're there for a while.
No, that's not why I'm scared. My sister is very particular about the sanctity of her room.
No one is allowed in it ever.
And this happened a week or so ago:
Jul 6 at 0:14, by Yuuki
Parents went into her room to clean it a bit and found a box of cracker-type things with a hole chewed through the middle.
So there was a lot of cleaning done to get rid of nasty stuffs. And she's coming home to a room that's going to be almost unrecognizable (because it's clean).
And then the volcano will erupt.
user15026
@Yuuki Oh boy.
Yeah. I'm going to stay elsewhere on Sunday.
Maybe be on campus for most of the time and then pop over to a movie theatre.
16:33
I'm sure no matter the distance, you will hear the screams.
user15026
@Yuuki That sounds like a decent plan
So much finally getting started on my forge now that summer classes are over.
Well, I guess I could do that on Saturday.
Not knowing your sister, but wouldn't she be more terrified at the thought of all the nasty that was cleaned?

MastWarning: pic heavy I'm on my way to my second encounter with Griever. I just retrieved the Tremor Gauntlet and finished the train depot section.

Q: Is there a way to take less fall damage?

ChaseCI find that the fall damage is insanely high (don't know if highest difficulty is even higher). Is there something I can do to take less fall damage when either running, jumping or falling off of something?

@KevinvanderVelden She's the kind of person who takes getting permission from her over everything else. Mind you, she doesn't bother getting permission from other people to mess with their things.
The most blatant example of such being her wardrobe. She regularly wears clothes that belong to everyone else in the family.
(Even my cool Monster Hunter shirts)
I almost miss Monster Hunter.
Played a lot of MH3U on PSP
@MadMAxJr Are you using a FastDL server?
@Powerlord I'm not sure.
Happened when I put cc_hotel b3 in rotation.
16:52
The reason I ask is because I'm wondering that, if you do, if the copy on the FastDL server is corrupted or something.
Is using a FastDL a line in one of the server configs?
@MadMAxJr sv_downloadurl
I'll have to check the config on my phone, takes a minute.
And that is how I know I'm living in the future. Checking server config files on your phone.
16:55
Multiplay might not be the best hosting service, but their web interface for server management isn't terrible.
@powerlord Yeah, looks like multiplay has a value in there. If I strike the entry, the server should serve the file it has, right?
@MadMAxJr Right.
Just be aware that downloads will be slower that way
@Powerlord Thanks for the tip. Slowness isn't an issue, my private group is just eight people. If it works, I'll open a ticket for Multiplay to correct the file they're serving.
Config updating...
@5pike I was surprised at how much I liked these.
@StrixVaria I also like them.
They have a certain charm
I can do everything but play TF2 on my phone. Sad.
17:02
There should be no technical reason preventing that from happening.
Hmm. I don't think I can splashtop to my desktop from here. Even then I'd need a bluetooth keyboard and the response time would be hilariously bad.
user15026
Dear boss - not every time I sneeze does it mean anything! (He always asks if it is allergies (its not) or I am sick (I'm not)
user15026
(I think he is just overcautious because he had strep a bit ago, but it's just amusing.)
I just threaten people when they bug me with that
it's 6pm and my brain has turned off
if i sit still enough the lights will turn off
17:14
Its like 'I feel horrible, stop reminding me' but it comes out as 'Lets see, come over here and let me cough on you' :D
no one will distrub me
I can sleep until monday lol
lol
strep??
wuts that?
user15026
@James I don't even feel horrible or nothign
user15026
Just the odd sneeze today
17:17
@djsmiley2k Strep throat?
user15026
@djsmiley2k Strep throat, a throat infection sickness thing.
@AshleyNunn Im just getting over a cold so I feel bleh
but still offering to sneeze on him to see if its a cold or allergies should get him to shut up :D
oh tonsilitus
@djsmiley2k no
17:19
Tonsillitis is more a sympton of step throat right?
Yeah, common cause of tonsillitis is strep throat, but it's not the only cause
meh
the site i ended on said they were same thing.
bacterial tonsilitus == strep throat
Well don't trust yahoo answers
it was boots.
Biggest pharamcy over here
inconjunction with WebMD.
Bacterial tonsilitus isn't the only tonsilitus
Yus
Meh, i don't get sick anyway
It's rather amusing.
'You eat so unhealthily!;
yeah but never been sick so :/
17:38
Anyone know which Bethesda games are having a daily sale on Steam today?
@Powerlord IIRC, Elder Scrolls Franchise and maybe New Vegas?
And maybe Fallout 3?
@Yuuki Elder Scrolls was yesterday.
According to Polygon, today is the id sale.
Trying to find out how much Doom 3 BFG Edition costs for someone, but I can't use a command line to check it and the actual site is blocked at work.
(can't use the command line because of the age verification)
What region are they?
$7.47 CDN
We are currently spinning down CenturyLink as an ISP for all sites, all traffic is moved over to other ISPs to minimize any discruption.

Q: How do you make a slime block on Xbox one in survival?

LottieferI followed a webpage that explained how to do it, followed it correctly and fuck all!!! I put 9 slimeballs into the crafting grid. The webpage then said that a slime block will appear in the box next to the grid and it didn't. How the hell do you do it?!
