Speaking of funny twitter accounts, there's one for TV ads without context.

Anyway this guy only seems about 30 minutes into XCOM2: twitch.tv/excessiveprofanity

MadMAxJr

... Does he live up to the channel name?

Sterno

Not as of yet.

His face is profane.

MadMAxJr

Could be worse. I don't see any channels that are constantly playing The Dog of Wisdom as part of the stream.

Also, why do I have the theme song to season 1 of Galavant stuck in my head?

Here, now you can get it stuck in your head too

Unionhawk

Okay yeah no

I'm not a fan of this

user15026

@Powerlord This reminds me I need to watch more of that show, I was having fun with it

Unionhawk

@Sterno I did see what you mean. I don't even. Who does that.

Other than this guy, apparently

Sterno

I read "song stuck in my head" followed closely by @AshleyNunn's name. And now a certain song is stuck in my h ead.

user15026

@Sterno Oddly, I don't have anything stuck in my head right now.

Ronan

19:13

@AshleyNunn chooses that song to be there.

Powerlord

@AshleyNunn Season 2 just ended.

Sterno

The song that really gets stuck in head is the theme song to the cartoon Goldie & Bear.

Powerlord

Granted, there are only 8 episodes in season 1 and 10 episodes in season 2.

Q: Are there any wind waker gohma constructs in minecraft?

I've noticed that there are a lot of states in minecraft of various creatures and things. I've been looking for a while and am trying to find if anyone has made a gohma statue. Specifically th version in the wind waker game.

djsmiley2k

i once had the fresh prince of belair in my head for a month or so

i'd wake up with it going, it was horible

user15026

19:18

@Powerlord I started watching it the other night, made it to ep 5 or so

Braiam

a game inside a game

Powerlord

@AshleyNunn Where are you watching it anyway?

Was going to go back and watch the first episode again only to find out ABC removed it from their site.

> Saying that AT&T, Comcast, Verizon et al. are villains is like saying the Sun is hot or that water is wet.

Saw that in a comment on Ars Technica and it made me chuckle.

@Powerlord I don't remember, some random site

Powerlord

> Players who decide to put their money down early will get a "Demon Multiplayer Pack" as a preorder bonus, a package that includes a number of cosmetic upgrades and six "Hack Modules" that can be used for a one-time boost in multiplayer.

Bethesda, you're selling multiplayer boosts for Doom?

Seriously?

Not surprisingly, people are already calling Doom multiplayer "Pay to Win" 3 months before the game even comes out

djsmiley2k

what if the 'hack module' lets you just revote a map or something

MadMAxJr

It's just going to be ID Software making a new internet shotgun party multiplayer mode anyway.

djsmiley2k

then ppl will feel silly lol

user15026

Now I have Satisfied from Hamilton stuck in my head.

user15026

19:49

I don't know why.

MadMAxJr

I still have the Paper Jam combat theme in my head.

Which is technically the Superstar Saga battle theme.

Unionhawk

I like the superstar saga version better. Does this make me weird? Yes. But! Who cares.

djsmiley2k

I believe I can fly!

I believe I can touch the sky!

I think about it every night and day!!

Okay, so correct me if I'm wrong: It's past 10 AM on Thursday Valve time right?

So that means the Steam weekend deals should be active now, right?

If so, why won't my client display them? all it's showing is the Act of Aggression midweek sale

djsmiley2k

Aries ;(

Or shall i spell it right XD

Powerlord

Valve time is PST and it's currently 12:34 PM PST.

Nate Kerkhofs

Anyone else who can't see the weekend deals?

Powerlord

@NateKerkhofs ...I can't check, I'm still at work.

Nate Kerkhofs

@Powerlord Let me put it this way: in Belgium, it starts at 7 PM local time. It's now 9:35 PM local time

Always fun to see people discover R34 of something that's been out for years and act surprised

Sorry, sometimes I'm getting in this stream of thought kinda thing where I got this feeling that I have to share my thoughts with the world.

Well, time to get back to Doctor Who binging. Have to finish Series 8 before the end of the month because copyright

(BBC is taking Doctor Who off Netflix, probably to start their own service).

djsmiley2k

they are indeed doing their own service

not sure if you knew or speculating

Nate Kerkhofs

@djsmiley2k has it been confirmed yet? All I've heard is rumors

djsmiley2k

yeah

they advertising rental to UK customers at least (I see them)

Unionhawk

steam weekend deals are not active

Nate Kerkhofs

20:43

@djsmiley2k Doesn't really apply to people in Belgium now, does it

Unionhawk

IT'S NOT EVEN A WEEKEND IT'S THURSDAY

Nate Kerkhofs

or anywhere outside of the UK even

> Obviously I have a large degree of humility when writing this because I am seeking people out here to see if anyone has any information about who may have taken a gigantic shit on the windshield of my brand new Tesla Model X.

ardaozkal

@NateKerkhofs or...

Nate Kerkhofs

20:44

@ardaozkal NOPE! Not going to pirate it

ardaozkal

@NateKerkhofs yes you will.

Nate Kerkhofs

@ardaozkal why do you think that?

GodEmperorDune

the balkanization of media is terrible

ardaozkal

IDK, I just want to start a drama for @Sterno

GodEmperorDune

netflix at least has a half decent app

ardaozkal

I really wish Bridge meta drama would happen soon if it's going to happen. I need my full attention on XCOM2 come midnight.

GodEmperorDune

all these companies go put it in their own buggy apps with terrible features and piss poor UI

djsmiley2k

rofl

the bit where they start insulting people is halrious @LessPop_MoreFizz

user15026

@GodEmperorDune Yeah, I don't get it

user15026

I mean I guess its "I want all teh cookies" kind of thinking

ardaozkal

Ok, I really want to do a BSOD joke, but it is no joke: Windows 10 on my RPivjust gave a BSOD.

Nate Kerkhofs

20:46

Not to mention that end users who want to watch their favorite series have to pay through the nose

ardaozkal

Start joking.

Nate Kerkhofs

@ardaozkal Blueberry Pi

user15026

but this is just ridiculous. I'm currently paying for Netflix and for shomi and really I don't want to keep having to pay for random service x because of one show they have

djsmiley2k

@NateKerkhofs I trhink it's going to be world wide.

GodEmperorDune

@AshleyNunn netflix makes money at this, why can't i

Ohnana

20:47

@LessPop_MoreFizz that's just mean lol

djsmiley2k

@GodEmperorDune generally, eventually, the BBC gets something good

user15026

@GodEmperorDune Yeah, that's the thinking

djsmiley2k

it took them a few years but the iplayer is pretty damn nice now.

GodEmperorDune

bbc is probably a bad example because they produce a lot of content

but here in the US, every channel is doing their own app

Nate Kerkhofs

Seriously: I'm currently paying under 10 EUR a month for Netflix. If I want to watch HBO series in Belgium, I have to pay 30 EUR a month extra for my ISP package, who has a fucking exclusivity deal for them

GodEmperorDune

20:49

and they are all shitty in their own way

Nate Kerkhofs

sorry for the profanity, but that's not going to happen

djsmiley2k

@GodEmperorDune ah, ewwww

user4704

@NateKerkhofs HBO Now is not available over there, I expect?

Nate Kerkhofs

@JoshPetrie it technically is

Unionhawk

@GodEmperorDune "LOG IN WITH YOUR CABLE PROVIDER NOW TO WATCH FREE ESPN ON YOUR PHONE" "IT'S NOT FREE IT'S JUST NO EXTRA CHARGE WITH A CABLE SUBSCRIPTION"

GodEmperorDune

20:50

@Unionhawk yep

user4704

Yeah, that model sucks.

GodEmperorDune

and they don't even remember the cable credentials

ardaozkal

@NateKerkhofs do it our way.

user4704

Per-channel apps would be nice if you could pick and choose which channels to subscribe to that way.

user4704

(although most of the apps do suck)

GodEmperorDune

20:51

LOL SORRY YOU CHECKED A TEXT RIGHT NOW, PLEASE RELOGIN

user4704

But nope.

Nate Kerkhofs

You either need to be a paying subscriber to the Telenet ISP, which costs 24.70 just for digital TV, not including renting the cable and the box, PLUS pay another 24.95 a month for their Play More package

Unionhawk

@GodEmperorDune You see, this is why. This is why we can't have nice things, cable networks... YOU ASSHOLES

user4704

TV companies are dumb and don't understand where the world is moving.

user4704

@NateKerkhofs Ew.

GodEmperorDune

20:51

@Unionhawk cc @fredley

user15026

@GodEmperorDune It's pretty gross/

GodEmperorDune

@JoshPetrie they tried to play nice with each other via Hulu, but that is a cluster too

Unionhawk

RIP free hulu

user4704

Hulu is terrible. :|

Unionhawk

whenever-2015?

user15026

20:52

@Unionhawk At least shomi (who used to be locked to bell/rogers/shaw subs) opened up and now you can sign up no matter who you are

user4704

I quite like the HBO Now experience so far, it's probably one of the better per-channel apps I've tried so far.

GodEmperorDune

@JoshPetrie yes but it was better than a ton of shitty channel apps

Nate Kerkhofs

@JoshPetrie actually, correction: there are no costs for cable and the settop box rent, so it's 24.70 for digital TV and 24.95 for their Play More package

Unionhawk

@AshleyNunn I need to obtain my parent's cable login so I can watch stuff and things

GodEmperorDune

they also seem to have no sense of what a monthly sub should cost

Unionhawk

20:53

Because UD isn't going to give me one even though we have expanded cable including HBO and foreign language channels

GodEmperorDune

i heard CBS wanted the same price as a netflix sub

but netflix has way more stuff

Unionhawk

But don't have the Time Warner Cable Sports Network, even though that's where UD games are often broadcast exclusively

Yes

user4704

@GodEmperorDune Yes.

Unionhawk

@GodEmperorDune Like Archer and Futurama and stuff

user4704

HBO Now is expensive.

Nate Kerkhofs

20:54

Although you do get a bunch of other stuff with that, like a lot of scandinavian fiction, many recent movies, a lot of themed channels, that sort fo stuff

user4704

OTOH I'm going to get through all of Game of Thrones with it for a total of $15, which is way less than I'd have to spend to buy the TV seasons and watch them once, so... works out.

user15026

I like shomi, it's basically like netflix in terms of variety (although smaller, but they have enough stuff Netflix doesn't that I am cool with paying for it)

Unionhawk

In fact, I was promised a(n?) HBO Go account for free from Student Government

WHERE'S MY HBO GO LOGIN, GUYS

Nate Kerkhofs

But yeah, I need to finish watching Season 8 before the end of the month or else suffer the consequences

user15026

And really, that makes my current media costs $25ish - roughly 10 each for Netflix and shomi, and 5 for my "let's pretend you're an american" VPN setup thingie

GodEmperorDune

20:56

@Unionhawk your student government has a pool full of them in a basement somewhere that they dive into, just like scrooge mc duck

user15026

@Unionhawk an, yes

Unionhawk

English is stupid

Nate Kerkhofs

@AshleyNunn you do realize that Netflix might decide to ban your account for using a VPN in the near future, right?

user15026

@NateKerkhofs Yeah, I'm fully aware.

user15026

If that happens, I'll stop paying the $5 for teh service, and move on with my life.

GodEmperorDune

20:57

@NateKerkhofs time to rent a VM in a cloud somewhere in a US datacenter and set up your own VPN

user15026

And really, they seem to be blocking the IP stuff, not the actual accounts

user15026

At least so far

user15026

I mean like I said, I don't super care. This is convenient, if it stops being so then I will deal with it.

two bugs

This is the internet, stop being reasonable!

GodEmperorDune

if netflix really wanted to crack down on region switching, they totally could

i think they just need to make a show of it for some content providers
