6:00 PM

you can do it @Powerlord. we believe in you. you are the star of this show.

Powerlord

@badp I don't know a lot about Oracle Spatial, though. We have 300+GB of spatial data stored in Oracle.

two bugs

@Lazers2.0 So this question is about the secret ending cutscene you get which is intended to be ambiguous for now and a hook to the next game

badp

@Powerlord oh. right. Oracle. You're fucked

two bugs

I don't know what exactly the right close reason would be

Powerlord

@twobugs So, can I answer with "ur mom" and get ~~upvotes~~ downvotes?

badp

6:02 PM

does Oracle still internally use Windows XP

Powerlord

btw, if anyone hadn't heard about the Java browser plugin being deprecated, here's the appropriate blog entry

badp

You now owe the internet oracle an unappropriate blog entry

Arperum

@badp Wouldn't surprise me. I remember getting bugreports from them about a site not working properly in IE6 (in late 2014)

Powerlord

Whoa, didn't realize it was this late. No wonder I'm so hungry. Need to go grab lunch.

badp

@Arperum it's like a time machine

if I ever go work for Oracle, that's not me, it's a clone, mod abuse him

Ohnana

6:08 PM

@badp how are we supposed to mod abuse an oracle worker

badp

he wouldn't be me so he wouldn't be a mod

but he would be me so he would be impersonating me

and since I am a mod he would be impersonating a mod

it is very logic

Wipqozn

@NateKerkhofs That already exists, but for steam games, which are the only games that matter

Q: What is for the out fenced in Rustboro City in ORAS?

Every time I go into route 115 from Rustboro City, there is a small opening in the fences that leads to a grass area that is 3x3. What is it for?

djsmiley2k

so company tells me in interview they using win7

looking at moving win10

i'm thinking 'you shouldn't tell me that'

badp

@djsmiley2k why

Sterno

6:16 PM

@Arperum We've been told repeatedly not to owner and deowner anyone. I'm not reownering him until I understand why he was removed

badp

Would you prefer them to have to hurriedly rush and botch the transition?

Sterno

(not that I think he did anything terrible)

I'm too lazy to search for the ownership removal.

djsmiley2k

@badp because knowing things is bad ;)

badp

The fact they have the awareness and resources to be planning the migration to Windows 10 at this point is a good sign

djsmiley2k

@badp no, just don't announce it to everyone and anyone :D :D XD

yes it is

yes

StrixVaria

6:17 PM

Chat search is the absolute worst.

Powerlord

@StrixVaria You misspelled Bing

user15026

It really is.

djsmiley2k

I guess I'm ignoring the fact they 'know' who I am

badp

@djsmiley2k eh

Sterno

Oh, he is ownered

So I don't know what that thing I'm quoting and CC'd me is about, then

badp

6:18 PM

I see you are confused

Sterno

I'm confused because @Arperum is confused!

badp

well let's fix the core issue then

Feeds

badp has removed Unionhawk from the list of this room's owners.

Q: Would there be benefit/interest to a plot-explanation tag?

I've seen a few questions about the plot of a game rather than a question specifically about a feature of the game, gameplay issue someone is having, etc. It seems to me that having some plot-related questions stand out this way could help draw some interest to the question. For instance, I've...

discussion tags

badp

now you can go back to the message list and readd him

StrixVaria

We kind of have a thing going where removing people as a joke is not a thing now.

badp

end of confusion

Ohnana

@badp troubleshooting the @badp way

GodEmperorDune

i nominate myself for new room leadership!

StackExchange

6:19 PM

StrixVaria has added Unionhawk to the list of this room's owners.

GodEmperorDune

aww

badp

now @Sterno is still confused

I'm still confused

oh well

6:19 PM

Do it again

djsmiley2k

that pasta was nice

i WANT more :/

Dragonrage

i nominate myself for non-room ownership

user15026

@djsmiley2k What kind of pasta?

Sterno

Non-room ownership is a big responsibility, as it involves owning all things that are not the room

Nate Kerkhofs

@Wipqozn I have over 600 GB of games on my computer currently. only half of that are Steam games.

GodEmperorDune

6:20 PM

if appointed, i will build a wall around the starlist

and only let quality stars in

SaintWacko

@GodEmperorDune Sorry, the star remover position is already filled

Nate Kerkhofs

So yeah, I would miss out on about 1/3 of my games (since many steam games are smaller)

Dragonrage

@Sterno i think im ready for non-ownership. i have proved myself reliable enough to own nothing. i think

GodEmperorDune

@SaintWacko NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Dragonrage

@GodEmperorDune its @badp

GodEmperorDune

6:23 PM

i see some weak stars over there, mainly involving @badp

stop clowning around @badp

Sterno

STAR MISUSE

Dragonrage

@Sterno Star abuse

Nate Kerkhofs

@GodEmperorDune @badp is like the night sky: many stars, but most of them are not very bright

badp

@NateKerkhofs you're viewing me in the wrong light

GodEmperorDune

err0R

Sterno

6:24 PM

Hey, finally, a game where I can use my new PC's horsepower

Rise of the Tomb Raider is pretty

Nate Kerkhofs

@badp If I were viewing you in any light, I wouldn't even see any stars

Because the light would overpower them

SaintWacko

@Sterno I don't think I ever got an answer, what are the specs of the new computer?

@NateKerkhofs What about moonlight?

two bugs

@GodEmperorDune I just fought a Kylo Ren. Yikes, he's powerful

Dragonrage

@SaintWacko he posted it like 4 times

two bugs

I like the idea of Kylo/Rey both being really strong but not having leader powers

Powerlord

6:25 PM

I've been at work for 4.5 hours now and I swear the guy who sits next to me has been making various personal calls ever since I got here.

SaintWacko

@Dragonrage OH I FOUND IT NOW

Nate Kerkhofs

@SaintWacko Even moonlight is strong enough to overpower all but the brightest stars

SaintWacko

Never got a notification for the message

GodEmperorDune

@twobugs yep, told you

Dragonrage

@NateKerkhofs not strong enough, just close enough

two bugs

6:26 PM

He basically ended my Galactic War run for today, but I barely beat him (the AI stopped spamming his "hit everyone then counter everything" move)

Galactic War is pretty rad, though

Powerlord

I mean it's great that he's getting new windows and a new furnace and all, but if you work from home 2 days a week, why would you not make said phone calls when you're working from home instead of in the office?

Sterno

That reminds me, I have a free copy of Tomb Raider 2013 on Steam if anyone wants it

Nate Kerkhofs

@Dragonrage WRONG! the MOON is close enough. MoonLIGHT is strong enough in this context

StrixVaria

@Sterno That was a pretty good game.

Nate Kerkhofs

@Sterno bad Sterno! Bad! Stop preordering videogames

StrixVaria

6:27 PM

@Sterno I'll probably get this on PS4.

Sterno

Oh, wait. I can't trade it until Feb. 27

two bugs

If the sun is brighter than the moon why can we see the moon during the day but not the sun during the night?

djsmiley2k

@StrixVaria ur PS4 player too?

GodEmperorDune

@twobugs you do

djsmiley2k

ya should hook up with the awesome that is me and @twobugs

Sterno

6:28 PM

@NateKerkhofs I ordered it yesterday. I mean, technically a preorder, but I'd already read reviews

GodEmperorDune

moonlight is reflected sunlight

Nate Kerkhofs

@twobugs because there is an entire planet between the sun and us at night, Terra

Dragonrage

@NateKerkhofs stars appear dimmer because they are far away, if they were closer they would all be brighter than the moon

StrixVaria

@djsmiley2k I kind of recently converted to console, been a PC player since forever before that.

two bugs

@GodEmperorDune Then why can we see the moon during the day?

djsmiley2k

6:28 PM

@StrixVaria welcome to the dark side :)

two bugs

Clearly the Earth is flat

GodEmperorDune

@twobugs the moon is dull during the day

Sterno

So far this is just making me want to play a new Uncharted

user15026

@twobugs Also dinosaurs aren't real.

GodEmperorDune

@twobugs clearly a neil degrasse tyson diss track is incoming

Sterno

6:29 PM

And Trump's hair is real

two bugs

@AshleyNunn If Dinosaurs are real why don't we have domesticated raptors? Checkmate

GodEmperorDune

@Sterno so tempted to post "who wore it better"

Nate Kerkhofs

@Sterno Trump hair is real. I wish the rest would follow it

Frank

@Sterno Xenoblade!

@twobugs Chickens

two bugs

6:30 PM

You can't ride a Chicken. If you could it would be a Chocobo.

djsmiley2k

EMu?

GodEmperorDune

@twobugs and what a weird breeding program that would be

two bugs

I wonder what the prehistory is for the Final Fantasy worlds

user15026

@twobugs Also how do we know we are putting the bones together right and aren't just making a triceratops because someone paid us a lot of money to put it together to be a triceratops

two bugs

@AshleyNunn No joke, the fact that we can actually put the bones together or reassemble a skeleton from just a few bone fragments is really really cool and blows my mind constantly

GodEmperorDune

6:31 PM

@AshleyNunn oh no, @AshleyNunn has uncovered the big triceratops lobby

user15026

@twobugs Oh, me too, that's just one of the biggest anti-dinosaur arguments I've heard.

two bugs

Yeah, I also sometimes hear "Oh they were just buried by the flood!"

GodEmperorDune

what flood?

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn Dinosaurs are real! People were riding them just a few thousand years ago!

user15026

@SaintWacko I know! I've watched Dinotopia, I know how it works :)

two bugs

6:35 PM

It makes me mad that people have made all those "guy (usually jesus) riding a dinosaur" pictures because we'll never have that :(

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn I saw a big display in Woodward that told me all about it

Yuuki

@twobugs Doesn't help that the megafloods are strongly conjectured to have existed.

@twobugs (Jurassic Park theme)

Nate Kerkhofs

The Rogue class hall has been redone in the Legion Alpha, and it's glorious

GodEmperorDune

what's this? CAD has overtaken domestic chores as the hottest A51 proposal? it is the paper robot's vengeance!

Sterno

Can someone tell me if they can see me streaming this? http://www.twitch.tv/drplote
I'm not planning on Streaming much but I want to see if I set it up right for XCOM2 later

SaintWacko

6:38 PM

@NateKerkhofs I'm avoiding spoilers

StrixVaria

@Sterno Untitled Broadcast, no game specified

But I see what appears to be Tomb Raider.

Sterno

excellent

StrixVaria

Curled up against the cold, walking on top of a snowy mountain.

Nate Kerkhofs

@SaintWacko then don't read the link. I don't think I mentioned anytng spoilery, except stuff we already knew

ardaozkal

@Sterno Working, but damn you I'm still downloading that.

SaintWacko

6:39 PM

@NateKerkhofs Right, I wasn't saying you had spoiled anything just with the post

I was just saying I wasn't going to read it :P

Sterno

Cool, thanks

Doesn't seem to hurt game performance.

The twitch site is super slow though

two bugs

@Yuuki True, just not on a biblical scale :)

The math behind it happening on a 100% literal scale (which, granted, only the really... interesting people believe) is funny

Sigh, I need to clip the claws of my cats... they just hate it :(

Nate Kerkhofs

Question: anyone else here who restricts themselves to a certain monthly allowance for games? I restrict myself to 50 EUR per month

two bugs

I think @Unionhawk does, and his current allowance is $0

ardaozkal

@NateKerkhofs YNAB4 really helps with that.

Unionhawk

6:46 PM

@twobugs Yes

@badp why are you such an idiot

Q: Rise Of The Tomb Raider Error

I just downloaded rise of the tomb raider, And when I launch the game it doesn't even launch it gives me this error. Here's a picture, https://gyazo.com/ecee00a7ef5ad9681cc813fbc7347eff . I did both of those things and the "NEXT" Button just gives you a giant code and redirects you to a website a...

Nate Kerkhofs

@GodEmperorDune mind sharing what your budget is?

Unionhawk

Oh, right, I understand now

You're still an idiot, but I understand what you were trying to do

Frank

6:49 PM

@NateKerkhofs My budget is whatever seems interesting at the time.

GodEmperorDune

@NateKerkhofs $20 a month goes to KoL, i sock away $5 or $10 for bigger purchases later

Frank

Which, for next month, means Fire Emblem.

two bugs

Dear my cats: You can either have your claws clipped by me or scratch one of the many things I provide specifically for you to scratch

Nate Kerkhofs

@Frank I did that in 2014. I ended up spending over 2000 EUR on games

Unionhawk

I don't think your cats have 20 reputation to chat in this room

two bugs

6:51 PM

They can read the google indexed version

Frank

@NateKerkhofs I might have, too.

GodEmperorDune

@NateKerkhofs yeah i put a limit on myself after it was "just this steam sale" and "just this kickstarter" and "just this humble bundle"

Frank

I am arranging to pick up a PS4 later today, after all.

Nate Kerkhofs

So now, I just transfer 50 EUR to my Steam wallet, minus whatever I spent in other storefronts the month before, at the start of the month

Unionhawk

Yeah, I have no desire to purchase games

I spent too much money in fiscal year 2015

Like, way too much

On everything

Nate Kerkhofs

6:52 PM

Note: this is JUST for games. I view stuff like peripherals and hardware as separate long-term expenses

StrixVaria

A coworker brought a bunch of different kinds of "biscuits" from London. I've tried two so far, and pretty good.

GodEmperorDune

@Unionhawk its the american way

Frank

@Unionhawk As long as money numbers go up, I'm usually pretty sanguine about the whole thing.

Unionhawk

Yeah well

I have the consideration of being employed only 4 months out of the year

Arperum

@Sterno He was reownered post my cc-ing.

Frank

6:54 PM

@Unionhawk When I was in that case, I had roughly $200/month to spend on food and stuffs.

Sterno

@Arperum Are you sure? I didn't see any messages in the log

Unionhawk

@Sterno (android hell)

Of course.

yes

@Sterno Yes.

6:56 PM

ANYWAY

COUGH

(seriously though, I'm going to murder my roommate if he gets me sick)

two bugs

@badp got me sick but I think that was in revenge for getting him killed

Arperum

@Frank This. I have no idea how much I spend on games on a yearly basis.

Unionhawk

It's harder to justify when your money numbers only go down

Arperum

I'm pretty sure I've spend a lot more on music though.

Unionhawk

@Arperum I apparently spent over $1000 on books a couple years back. <.<
