I wonder if I'll live long enough to see 'remastered' editions of Star Wars 1, 2, and 3. Like General Grevious with eight arms.
Or the total removal of Jar-Jar.

Ffs no Internet again, I can hear people upstairs again, I called, no answer. sigh
You have to call the support-support desk
user15026
Both my phone and my desktop are saying there is no wifi so I know it isn't just my router because it is just a dumb bridge to my desktop not an AP.
can it be thanksgiving break yet
inb4 canadian thanksgiving already happened
You mean you don't observe both like the hobbits would?

@MadMAxJr you mean knock on my landlords door and ask what they did? If I wasn't leaving for lunch with a friend soon I would.
@AshleyNunn Your knock is important, please stay in front of the door and a landlord will be with you as soon as they're available.
hold music in front of the door
@MadMAxJr Do do do-do do dooo... Do do dodo do.
* It's clearly just someone humming.
@MadMAxJr Or the George Lucas Special Edition of Episodes I, II, and III. Where every frame is filled with Jar-Jars.
We've replaced Gungans with Ewoks as originally intended.
17:09
Anybody in here try the full release of Star Wars Battlefront yet?
Curious if the Cycler Rifle is as broken as it was in the beta.
My friend swears Battlefront is horrible but he is a very negative man
The general consensus I'm hearing is that it looks amazing and plays like a shooter that's been stripped down to be accessible by people who are fans, but not necessarily shooter game fans.
Sounds about right. It seems to be getting 70s-75s across the board, but I don't put too much stock in reviews lately.
Aside from some serious balance issues with the spawn points in Hoth, I found the beta test to be entertaining.

SYNTAX ERROR -- HOPE UNDEFINED
Dear websites: Please stop asking me for my first and last name, then put them in the wrong order
17:20
> IF YOU'RE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT SYNTAX ERROR
@PrivatePansy Well, which order are you expecting them in? Given name, Family name like in many western cultures?
My given name comes last, family name comes first
Ah, well that's because we're all dumb westerners who don't even know about your silly other way of doing things!
Today's Test Results: NOT CANCER
29
@Sterno Woohoo!
17:22
(In all seriousness, I find it super interesting how naming order is different between cultures)
MINIMUM UNDERCANCER
@Sterno Yay!
The worst thing is when I see the words last and first, I have a choice of either entering them in the semantically incorrect manner, knowing that for 99% of the websites the semantics doesn't actually matter so the newsletters or whatever they're going to send me will be displayed correctly
That is an excellent Carlton gif
Or I can enter it in the semantically correct manner, but have the website display my name back asswards
17:24
I'm trying to find the non t-shirt image of this: fifthsun.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/1500x/…
@PrivatePansy Yeah. It's a completely forgone conclusion in western culture, which makes it confusing because there's a very significant portion of the Earth which does things differently

Q: Caius Cosades won't talk to me

But then I couldn't talk to him about the package because he said: WHAT! Divayth Fry is dead? And you...

The funniest instances are those sites that ask for my credit/debit card info, then display them to me to confirm that the information looks correct
Because my debit card has my name in the correct order, but most websites get it wrong - so asking me to check that the information matches the ones on my card is kind of pointless
Oh, good. I'm sure reddit.com/r/catshighfive can help me out
@ste I'm pretty sure this only exists as a t shirt image
@Sterno I'm disappointed this is not a thing

Q: minecraft download problem due to a corrupt file?

lewisI am having problems downloading minecraft as it sais the files must be corrupt every time i re download it? but when i go into %appdata% the .minecraft files are not there? can anyone help me

@fredley yay for safari online, boo for this not being in there yet
In other news, Jessica Jones is pretty good.
@Sterno yeah i like it
but i feel that kingpin was a more interesting villain
purple man just seems like a crazy huge asshole
Someone listed my number for a AAA service call or something and now I'm getting their updates :|
17:55
Need food
@Unionhawk cc @Yuuki
also nice avatar change
I'm the opposite. Everyone raved about the Kingpin. He bored the shit out of me.
Butbutbut I just posted food...
@Sterno clearly you are a terrible person with no taste in villains
@GodEmperorDune David Tenant
@PrivatePansy yeah
Kingpin wasn't the Kingpin until the last episode.
All that BS about "saving my city".
i think he was fairly kingpin when he decapitated the dude with the car door
Which I guess should be directed to @fredley because he's the idiot who accidentally android enthusiasts
Wilton Fisk isn't the Kingpin until he embraces crime for selfish reasons. Even if they were flimsy, his justifications of trying to do what's best for Hell's Kitchen is what kept him from being the true Kingpin. Because Kingpin's supposed to be about the dark side of humanity, specifically the depths people will go for greed.

Q: What unique items could become unobtainable?

king14nyrAfter finishing The Human Error quest with the resolution that made it impossible to buy the unique equipment from Penny Fitzgerald (Destroyer's Helmet and Justice), I realized there must be unique gear that can become unobtainable after certain quests/events if not previously obtained. I also ...

Today is a fun day. Shortly before noon EST, we got the dreaded "production isn't working!" message. Lo and behold, it really wasn't working.
@Powerlord Blame Blu team
@Yuuki villains can't have cognitive dissonance now?
No
It's against villain code section 13b
Paragraph 3
18:05
@GodEmperorDune The Kingpin can't have cognitive dissonance. What made him so powerful and fundamentally scary is that he knows the immoral things he's doing and he literally doesn't care. At all.
He doesn't even care enough to make justifications for the bad, bad, bad decisions he makes.
What's scary about him is his utter lack of humanity and his amorality.
i thought it was the tremendous wealth and power he had at his disposal
Wilson Fisk in the Netflix series was just a big, violent manchild. And I appreciated the villain having some backstory, but I didn't see a lot there that made him compelling to watch.
He's lost his wealth and power several times throughout the comics continuity and he's always clawed his way back because of his character traits.
It amuses me that time travel happens so often in the Star Trek universe that Starfleet has an official Temporal Displacement Policy
Someone not following that policy is to blame for the new series of movies.
18:10
In a way, I guess that his origin story in the first season is compelling in that you're seeing a bad guy's "start of darkness", so to say, but I can't call Wilton Fisk in the first season "Kingpin".

(Meanwhile, I'm at least 30 minutes away)
18:30
Nice
@Yuuki i feel that they also called him "wilson" which bothered me
@Sterno I thought that the last episode, where he had backup plan after backup plan, each more expensive than the last, was pretty neat.
@Yuuki I don't remember hearing the word "kingpin" at all in that series.
@StrixVaria i thought the reporter referred to him as a "kingpin" when he put the playing cards on the wall and had everything leading to the king with the question mark on it
@GodEmperorDune Hm...I could be mistaken, but he definitely didn't go by that name at all, which was a little disappointing.
I'm only 3 episodes into Jessica Jones and I know even less about this IP than I did about Daredevil, but it's pretty good so far.
18:39
@StrixVaria yeah definitely no one called him "kingpin" to his face
it was all "employer"
It's a little weird in Jessica Jones when they make references to the Avengers movie, without any other context.
Like when someone just says, "well, we were invaded by aliens".
that seems to be the MCU stamp of interconnectedness
Yeah, I get that it's part of the MCU.
Just mentioning the movies happens a lot in Agents of Shield.
But it's just jarring; it stands on its own but those little tidbits bring you out of it for a second.
18:41
agents of shield is much closer to the movies, yeah
It's still jarring.
@RonanForman Is this a series of disparate episodes with the same characters, or is Agents of Shield like the new Daredevil/Jessica Jones shows where it's one long continuing plot?
@StrixVaria long series with lots of plot twists
@GodEmperorDune Maybe I'll give it another chance then after I finish Jessica Jones.
its basically Agent Coulson, the series
18:43
Ballistic Weave in Fallout 4 is just plain silly. My Hat now provides more defense than my whole set of combat armor
i found the first season (or half season, as they do these days) pretty standard cliched stuff, but they really came into their own around episode 15 or so when they did the tie in with the events of winter soldier. it was much more interesting after that
My favorite Coulson line is "Hey guys, I found it!"
@GodEmperorDune I'm liking this latest season loads.
@MadScientist wat
@RonanForman yeah each season is getting progressively better
and i liked the arc with commander adama
18:46
@Unionhawk It's a mod for certain pieces of clothing, and it has 110 damage resistance for regular and electrical damage on the highest level (I have "only" 90/90 on Army Fatigues and my hat right now, plus a set of Combat Armor)

Q: Announcer no longer announces every kill

Brian JI believe this started with Patch 5.22 for the preseason. The announcer no longer gives audio for every single kill like it used to. It still calls multi-kills, and an unknown pattern for other individual kills. Is there a setting or something to re-enable this? I like the audio cue to know how...

Being sick sucks. Being sick, while stuck in a hotel room, sucks so much more.
@GodEmperorDune I guess I should get around to watching Winter Soldier.
I wonder if my PS4 can play DVDs...or...I guess BluRays so it's not blurry and shitty.
I haven't rented a movie since DVDs were new.
Me neither. Sometimes you'll see digital rentals that are absurdly expensive, like ~$10 for one day
18:59
OK, that was just a horrible room. a small room, four cages. cc @badp
@Arperum yeahhh
And the stopwatch nerf is pretty fucking bad. now it only triggers for the room once you are hit.
Negotiating with pushy realtor is super stressful.

Q: Spoilers : Endings and minutemen patrols

EthalisI heard that if you complete the main quest by siding with the minutemen, you'll end up with numerous patrols of minutemen in the Commonwealth, who fight raiders and mutants. That looks awesome, but I'm currently siding with the Railroad, and was wondering if there was still a possibility to get ...

@RonanForman Thats the one.
@Arperum I guess it's still better than not having it
19:08
unless you are the Lost without much grinding
@badp Yea, that's another item that is completely worthless as the lost now.
@Arperum does it not trigger if you only lose your shield?
@badp I haven't had that combination yet.
@badp Apparently it will in the next update
@murgatroid99 ...lol
EEEDDDDDMMMMMUUUUUUNNNNNDDDDDDD
19:11
@StrixVaria That's okay. Only hardcore nerds know about Jessica Jones.
@murgatroid99 Source? Ed McMillan / Tyrone Rodriguez usually don't even tell you what was fixed in the current update, let alone future updates.
now to realize that mediamarkt does not in fact sell hairdryers
Today is one of those days where lots of minor things are going wrong.
@Powerlord He tweeted that that's how it works in his build. I can't find it at the moment
Like now there's a mandatory all-staff meeting for our department on a day I have off.
19:17
@jessepersen it works that way in my build and I assume it will do the same in the next update
ello
@murgatroid99 That doesn't really inspire much confidence...
"Fixed in next update. Maybe."
@twobugs Nothing they've done in the past month is particularly confidence-inspiring
OK, that's an exaggeration
Hah. Fair enough.
I like their games (Team Meat), but they've been pretty bad at community engagement
Honestly, I don't even care that much about the nerfs themselves. What bothers me is that they completely refuse to give patch notes, so you can't tell what's a nerf/buff and what's a bug

Q: Does Nick ever turn on you?

kalinaAfter the quest Dangerous Minds, you speak to Nick and either he impersonates Kellogg or something of Kellogg remains after exploring his memories using Nick as a host. What surprised me though, was the dialogue options after this outburst were all the wrong way around, the options for Nick to ...

@kalina Asking the important questions about F4 I see!
@MadMAxJr ...at least it's not "How many endings"
I think "I don't understand the ending" is the worst
@Powerlord 2^(number of bits in a save file)
But a little better than "I don't understand the intro"
19:40
@twobugs >Historic >Death Star
What sort of news outlet is this
Not The Onion, apparently
> Nutt clashed with Jacqui Smith when she was home secretary after he compared the 100 deaths a year from horseriding with the 30 deaths a year linked to ecstasy.
@twobugs I... wot
From that drug thing somebody linked earlier
Looool
19:44
At least it's not Slenderman this time.
Is it worth taking companions around for their side quest stuff? I'm assuming they have side quests.
I kind of hate companions and currently don't take any. And I have two ranks of the Lone Wanderer perk. But I don't want to miss content, because OCD
They all have some sort of side quest, I think
If you're a guy you can romance Piper, because video games
@Sterno Dogmeat doesn't count against lone wanderer, has no quests, cannot approve or disapprove of you. ONLY DOG LOGIC.
@Sterno There is one sidequest per companion, as far as I understand.
Nick is a cool companion, though. You should hang out with him!
19:49
And the sidequest ends with their loyalty and a perk.
I took Nick and then Curie, and found them both pretty good
$75 per ticket..... đŸ˜¢đŸ˜¢đŸ˜¢đŸ˜¢
Nick gives you a perk that gives you another guess on terminals. It does something else I can't recall.
I like that Nick is just some hard boiled noir detective
Dear god, what kind of world is it where I'm going to Forbes for Fallout 4 tips?
19:50
Nick's sidequest is rather annoying to start, but the story and development of him is quite nice
Forbes actually has some decent games stuff, surprisingly
Nicks ends with a colossal fetch quest.
Haha, my friend was spending real life $$$$ to buy Halo 5 req packs in hopes of getting a loadout item for Warzone (the DMR)
He finally got it. It costs 8 req points to use (basically, can only be used very late game)

Q: Why cant i save on my 'Pokemon Firered' for the 'My-Boy Emulator' anymore?

RainbowCatHeyhey y'all. I just downloaded the My-Boy GBA emulator + Pokemon Firered a few days ago and playing worked fine for 5 hours and about 30 minutes of playing. I could always only save via Ingame menu because its the free version of the emulator, but there was no problem until now. Now the issue...

Would rather romance Curie.
19:53
Well if they learned from Skyrim, everyone is probably romance-able
Game already has built-in nude Curie mod.
I just know that Piper is for sure
@twobugs There site is awful, though
Curie's got great curves.
@Sterno go outside
:^)
19:54
Is it bad that I'm actively changing my data structures around for things as I code this server plugin?
You'd think I'd have these planned out in advance.
Does Mine Defense have sound?
Something is making a tiny whooshing sound like wind blowing but I can't figure out what
@Sterno I just checked, and you'll be happy to know she is in fact romance-able.
Nick and Codsworth are non-romanceable.
@MadScientist Dat thruster
19:57
Some kind of glitch in my game. Nick keeps striking his smoking poses, but doesn't have any smokes in hand.
@Sterno Do you know Curie's story arc?
@MadMAxJr ?
@MadScientist I do not.
@kalina Your question about Nick that recently went up.
I don't see the issue
it is a genuine question I have
19:59
Then I won't spoiler it, I just wasn't sure because of your comments
Er, I wasn't being sarcastic, I think it's a good question!
I didn't know Curie was actually romanceable. This went from funny to creepy.
Nick is my favorite. We need to know. :P
I'm shocked that you allow retrosaur to continue being a user yet I'm not allowed to post a plot question!
@Sterno why creepy?
20:00
And technically, all questions are better than "I don't understand the ending" so
Literally all questions.
Those questions are rep farming, plain and simple.
Why is there a wine-preloader process making a whooshing sound when $ ps aux | grep wine lists nothing?
But I can't keep questing with Nick if there's the possibility he turns. I won't do that. :|
@kalina Says who?
20:01
@Sterno It's contingent on another thing, as far as I'm aware
I'm disappointed I'm not allowed to be overly melodramatic
oh, brb, legendary deathclaw
@Blem I mean, it didn't say all other gods, so that was to be expected.
@Unionhawk "What does the ending of Undertale mean?!"
Need a mod to make Curie sound less French.
(Psst, don't answer that)
@Powerlord Why is your favourite thing about the end of undertale? (No X or Z)
@RonanForman The bacon.
I also didn't know Curie eventually gets less robotic
@Powerlord Sounds sexy. (+300 ratings)

Although now I need to decide what to do for supper.
Should I get Torikatsu + an order of maki, or just get variety of different sushis?
20:15
@Wipqozn why not both
Everything you just said sounds awful. Get a steak.
A well done steak, slathered in ketchup
@twobugs you're fired.
I hate when I order food, and they say "You can come in right away", since they obviously think I'm a bit of drive
but I'm 30 seconds away from you
GOSH DARN TEENAGE DRUG DEALERS I TELL YA WHAT

@GnomeSlice that sounds amazing, so jealous
@TimStone EU is working on that, there has been someone suggestion adding royalties to hyperlinks.
Royalties...? wat
Dammit EU
@Arperum Because paying people to send them traffic makes so much sense
20:35
@twobugs Yup, it's completely stupid, and should be shot down. It probably will.
@murgatroid99 Yes, it's a copyright breach. Or that's what they want to make it. If they do that google probably becomes instantly unavailable in europe.
I don't want to Syber with any of you.
5
same for every other search engine.
The EU seems to really dislike Google lately
@Arperum It's like when Spain decided to do almost that same thing with news
@murgatroid99 ANd that worked out so good...
20:37
@murgatroid99 Wait, what?
I wanna know the premise of this.
@Arperum Seriously, though, the concept is absurd. It's like saying "Your book review is a copyright breach because you told people to buy my book"
@murgatroid99 Let's not forget good old SOPA.
@murgatroid99 Yup. I've read about it at one point, but haven't seen it resurface since, it might have been shot down.
so SE needs to pay royalties when it oneboxes now?
@Texenox Spanish publishers wanted news aggregators to have to pay news sites to show snippets of the story along with the link to the news site. Now there is no Google News in Spain, and Spanish publishers' traffic has dropped dramatically.
20:39
Lazers is going to go broke
@GodEmperorDune Probably also when anyone links to a website in a question or answer or comment
@murgatroid99 but i thought it was not the raw link, but the content snippet instead
@GodEmperorDune No, there was/is someone who tried to/is trying to launch that as a european rule. But those rules then need to be made into law by all the countries.
Amazing to think that the bellends at the European Commission think the basic <a></a> tag has to be copyrighted.
I just heard someone in the cube next to me end a sentence with "YOLO".
20:41
@GodEmperorDune Nonono, we are talking about copyrighting every hyperlink.
@Texenox just look at all of these packets flowing across our borders without paying ANY TOLLS!
@murgatroid99 Well, at least in the US, we have case law about this that considers reviews a form of fair use, even if it isn't strictly spelled out in our laws.
> **Water does NOT prevent dehydration**
If you've been on a mighty old work out or you're struggling with a sore heard from a heavy night out, drinking water will NOT ease your pain. Well, that's according to the EU. In 2011 they passed a law, which claimed scientists had found no evidence to suggest drinking water stopped dehydration. This meant manufacturers of bottled drinking water were prohibited from labelling their product with anything that would suggest consumption would fight dehydration.
20:44
> granting copyright owners the right to decide the time and manner in which they made their content available to the public.
You can do so already?
> Well, that's according to the EU. In 2011 they passed a law, which claimed scientists had found no evidence to suggest drinking water stopped dehydration.
yeah, its not available until they upload it to their servers...
> claimed scientists had found no evidence to suggest drinking water stopped dehydration
I like how there isn't even any context behind this given, and it just sounds like the EU decided for some reason to give actual scientific studies a hearty "get bent".
@GodEmperorDune It seems like they basically want to do what Spain did across Europe
> Under the existing interpretation of the right of communication to the public, if a work has been made available online, linking to it does not expose it to new audiences
20:48
@murgatroid99 Because that's totally not going to backfire. Like it did in every single case that it was done. Becausde they are smarter, and aren't going to do it in the way spain did.
...really?
They are going to find a way to make it backfire even harder.
@Texenox Your sarcasm detector is broken.
@Arperum Maybe not limit it to news publishers
@Arperum Oh, right, I misread.
the only good that would come of charging aggregators for the content they aggregate is that it would kill buzzfeed's top X lists of pictures stolen from reddit
20:49
@GodEmperorDune good
@murgatroid99 Yup. I expect them to have no limit on it.
@Texenox Yeah that makes sense, because you're not making it available to more people, like you would if you re-aired a tv show or something.
@GodEmperorDune That's not content aggregation. That's copyright violation that nobody sues over

They already had access to that anyway.
@Texenox I meant someone else re-airing a tv show.
They just didn't know.

@RonanForman Different channels can have different demographics depending on if the channels focus on a certain theme.
@GodEmperorDune I recently heard that people using the penguin meme with the blue background were actually sued by National Geographic or something
or the guy who took the picture for NatGeo
In the end, whatever different channel it is re-aired on, it can still attract people that may not have necessarily heard of said material and therefore expose it to new audiences.
…There's a "Music Fans" site now?
@TimStone Pretty sure there has been one for a while.
@Texenox I think the point here is about who can in principle access content, not who actually accesses it

@murgatroid99 Let's not forget the fact that the guy who drew the old Trollface meme actually sued someone.
@Texenox If that other channel reairs it, they get the revenue from it. If you share a hyperlink, you don't steal revenue, you add revenue.
@Texenox 8 months, hmm.
@murgatroid99 Hm, fair enough.
....alright, I seem to have lost track of my thoughts.
@murgatroid99 that's a mess
