I'm costing a lot of money to pebble though lol. I first got 2 pebbles for one price (I got one of my orders cancelled to switch to dhl, both shipped), I gave one to my graphics designer (every developer needs one lol), then both had screen tearing, I got replacement for mine a month ago, we also asked for his, but as the order was cancelled, he apparently didn't have warranty. (1/2)

So my replacement arrived 4 days ago, and it has a HUGE line over screen when I turn on backlight. I mailed them today, and they just sent me a Pebble Time. 100$ for 3 Pebble Classics and 1 Pebble Time (2/2)

GodEmperorDune

@AshleyNunn right?!

ardaozkal

Ugh crap

I made it again.

I asked it to be delivered to home- nobody is home.

It'll be dropped off to the post office.

I got lucky last time as it arrived on friday- I leave school early on friday. I hope that time gets delivered on Thursday or Friday then.

two bugs

I went to go check out monitors at Best Buy cause they have this insane deal going on. Their selection sucks.

Yuuki

@twobugs Probably due to the insane deal.

two bugs

Nope, they just only carry bad monitors apparently

Q: What's the name of this NES /Famicom game?

I know this will be kind of a challenge, but I'll give it a try anyway. I have been trying to find the name of one particular game I had when I was a kid on the Famicom / NES. I don't have any pictures, the only thing I have is my own description. It is special because the game was pretty hard. N...

nes

GodEmperorDune

@twobugs well it's best buy

two bugs

Yeah. I was just hoping to make more use of the 10% cashback for April

Arperum

YES

GodEmperorDune

@Arperum ?

Arperum

I got 100% achievements in afterbirth!

GodEmperorDune

21:26

@Arperum very nice

two bugs

@Arperum Damn, dude

Arperum

I've been rerolling this shop for an hour to get mega and sworn protector.

the final two items I was still missing.

two bugs

Hm, the G-sync 1440p recommended gaming monitor is like $700

Arperum

I got mega, used it in an empty room, and then put it back into the rerolling loop in the shop as an extra pedestal.

two bugs

Whereas the Free-sync one is like $350

I have to wonder how much of that is due to the quality of the monitor itself

And how much is due to marketing/prestige/whatever

Looking at a comparison Free-sync seems to be the markedly superior technology?

badp

21:30

@Arperum congrats!

@twobugs for now, if you have nvdia, gsync; otherwise, freesync

probably neither is also fine though

two bugs

Yeah, I'm just confused why one monitor is basically twice the price of the other

Aside from nvidia

Arperum

restock is the most op item. if you combine it with a blank card/jera or two of diamonds you basically have everything you want.

badp

I'd be happy with, like, a desk

so I could spend my weekends on not the bed

not the bed is good for your spine

two bugs

Good lord the recommended Ultrawide 120hz is 30 inches

How the hell can I fit that and a regular widescreen

Ugh some of these monitors sound so frustrating to try and buy

People commenting that ASUS has basically no quality control whatsoever

GodEmperorDune

21:47

@badp i thought europe was all squished, so you had to sleep standing up so as not to waste horizontal space

badp

@GodEmperorDune that's Tokyo.

a common misconception.

GodEmperorDune

@badp yeah the names are practically identical

badp

#tokyurope

GodEmperorDune

@badp plus i figured that was also why your name was only 4 characters... that's all the horizontal space you were allotted.

badp

badp is actually pretty luxurious

Aww. My local hobby shop stopped selling my favorite brand of paints.

Now I have to source another location to find them.

Frank

22:19

As tag wiki excerpts go, you can do better, @Parzival. That one really does nothing to help explain it.

GodEmperorDune

@Frank wow that is pretty bad

MBraedley

Guys guys guys! Guess what I just did!

Frank

@Parzival Please take the time to study what other tag wiki excerpts have, to see what is acceptable. As it is, an excerpt that says, "Tag <x> is for game <x>" is incredibly circular. Yes, that's the game name. Fantastic. What else can you say about it?

GodEmperorDune

@MBraedley something something ksp?

Frank

@MBraedley Launched a Kerbal into orbit, threw it out of the spaceship, and watched it burn up in the atmosphere?

MBraedley

Well, since no one else is guessing...

I put in an offer on a house!

Frank

@MBraedley Yay!

Hope you get it!

GodEmperorDune

@MBraedley grats

MBraedley

So do I

Fluttershy

22:26

@MBraedley Good luuuuuuuuuck!

Frank

Have fun signing yourself into six digit debt. It's a fun experience.

Fluttershy

@Frank I almost bought a house, and it was nowhere near 6 digits.

Frank

I got super shaky when I did that.

Fluttershy

I still regret not buying.

Frank

@Fluttershy When was this?

GodEmperorDune

22:27

@Fluttershy where was it?

Fluttershy

@Frank About a year ago, here in southeast Missouri.

Frank

I can't think of any place around here that you'd need less than 100K, at least, to buy even a shack.

Parzival

@frank gotchya. thnx

MBraedley

I've got a bunch of stuff to do over the next week to make sure everything goes smoothly.

Fluttershy

This one was... $30k, I believe.

Q: Biggoron Sword?

In Zelda OOT I bought the giant's knife when I was a kid, and then when it broke I looked online to see why. Turns out you can get a better version. Just how do I do this?

zelda-ocarina-of-time

Frank

@Fluttershy I'd love to buy a place for that price.

GodEmperorDune

@Fluttershy was it in a bad area or really old or what?

Fluttershy

@GodEmperorDune It wasn't in a bad area, and it wasn't really old. It was just really small. It was a 1 bedroom.

GodEmperorDune

@Fluttershy yeah that still seems ridiculously cheap

Frank

22:32

I've been looking at a place locally that has some potential.

It's way outside the city, though.

Unionhawk

@GodEmperorDune Reminder that not everywhere is California

Frank

1,600 sq. feet, with a finished basement.

GodEmperorDune

@Unionhawk LIES

Frank

For under 300K

Unionhawk

I mean, crap, this house has a value of like, 60,000 and it's a 3 bed 1.5 bath

Built in like, 1920, and probably has a going price of not for sale, BUT STILL

Frank

22:36

My current place has been assessed at 191k. Which is a good chunk above what I paid for it.

GodEmperorDune

@Frank nice

Unionhawk

Like I said, the University is going to hold this property to the grave, which is fine because it's also literally a hundred years old. But well-maintained

Frank

Then again, it's inside a city, so generally the value is just going to go up.

SaintWacko

22:47

@Frank Our house is the same way

user15026

@Frank My parents place is like that. I don't know what it's assessed at currently but last I checked it was 3x what they paid - they've done a lot of work on it, and their small town is becoming more interesting to outsiders. There've been like 4 houses built in the last 5 years, with plans for 4 more. Which is a lot considering I can think of only 2 that were built in the 19 years I lived there....

Frank

@AshleyNunn The town is growing! That's good.

user15026

@Frank It's definitely good, but it's so weird to me, there being houses where for all my childhood there weren't any.

user15026

Like I look out my old bedroom window and see a house where there just used to be trees

Frank

@AshleyNunn Yeah, I hear you.

It's sad that the things you knew growing up are changing.

user15026

22:55

Sad in a way but also like...if it means that the townships pay more attention to the town and give it more stuff it needs, it's okay

Powerlord

Apparently the Darksiders collection on Steam is only $5, including the Deathfinitive version of the second game

Frank

Now to see if anyone can help me with my airbrush painting problem.

Where's @jin when you need him?

GodEmperorDune

@Frank if only there was a scale modeling SE

Frank

@GodEmperorDune Yeah.

Both attempts have died.

I don't think there's enough interest from anyone but me to really push it through.

GodEmperorDune

23:00

@Frank i put questions on the one you linked when i was here

Frank

@GodEmperorDune It's over a year. Got closed.

That's the second time it's died.

GodEmperorDune

speaking of area51, let's see how my new favorite proposal is doing

Conspiracy

Proposed Q&A site for people who want to learn about proven conspiracies, crackpot conspiracy theories and the shades of grey in between

Currently in definition.

two bugs

That's such a crazy proposal

I don't see how it could possibly work. It's basically embracing the whole "truth is overrated" aspect of paranormal

GodEmperorDune

@twobugs but how many times has the government harvested my kidneys?

Dragonrage

@GodEmperorDune ur questions is still the top rated

two bugs

23:09

@GodEmperorDune Freven.

Yuuki

@GodEmperorDune "Proven conspiracies"?

GodEmperorDune

@twobugs i KNEW it!

KutuluMike

@GodEmperorDune likely no more than twice.

two bugs

@Yuuki Yeah, like 9/11. You know, when Al Qaeda attacked the World Trade Centers

user15026

@KutuluMike That's what they want you to believe

GodEmperorDune

23:11

@KutuluMike the truth is out there

user15026

Like they WANT me to believe my stomach scars are all from them inserting shunt tubing but I bet you I've lost my kidneys every time ;)

two bugs

The 90% of the brain you don't use is 100% kidney.

(c'mon, that's pretty clever)

Dragonrage

@twobugs no star for you

GodEmperorDune

@AshleyNunn TIL that your kidneys are keeping the canadian health system running

two bugs

Big Kidney seized control of Canada

JFK tried to resist their takeover of the USA and thats why he was taken out of the picture

GodEmperorDune

23:13

@twobugs if big kidney has control of the US, wouldn't it be big adrenal gland that has control of Canada?

two bugs

Big Adrenal is just a front

It's a disinformation psyop by the reptilians to harvest kidneys

GodEmperorDune

@twobugs the puzzle pieces are starting to fit together

KutuluMike

Kidneys are a smokescreen.

they really want your gall bladder.

lizard men need gall bladder juice to stay cool in their human suits.

two bugs

How Can Gall Bladder Be Real If Kidneys Aren't Real

GodEmperorDune

actually the liver regrows, so they could harvest that an infinite number of times

two bugs

23:18

I've always wondered if it would be worth it to get a tattoo on my midsection informing anyone that harvesting my kidneys isn't worth their time due to my kidney disease

I'd probably need to get it in multiple different languages too

Maybe braile, you know, just in case

GodEmperorDune

@twobugs yeah you don't want to mess with the blind gang

two bugs

The blind mafia is pretty scary, dude.

GodEmperorDune

definitely

but its a good thing they respect braille instructions when harvesting kidneys

two bugs

Dammit any kind of braille joke is more trouble than it's worth

StrixVaria

I'm so conflicted about this season of Daredevil. The plot with the Punisher is pretty good, but during the plot with Elektra I just play minesweeper on my phone and half pay attention to the dialogue while waiting for an interesting scene to start.

KutuluMike

@twobugs ⡑ ⡒ ⡓ ⡔ ⡕ ⡖ ⡗ ?

GodEmperorDune

@StrixVaria that is pretty much my entire thoughts on it

i'm just glad the punisher part came back, i thought it was over right when they introduced elektra

StrixVaria

Yeah, there were a few rough episodes, but it seems to be picking up a little steam again.

StrixVaria

@KutuluMike Let's hope so.

KutuluMike

@StrixVaria oh, you're not done yet?

GodEmperorDune

is punisher getting a spin-off?

StrixVaria

23:39

@KutuluMike Nope.

KutuluMike

yeah the last few episodes she's much better than her initial appearances.

StrixVaria

I only really watch while I'm eating, because if my hands aren't occupied I usually would rather be playing a game or something.

KutuluMike

@GodEmperorDune it has not been announced yet; they still have 3 more shows to do as it is

StrixVaria

So I watch like 20-30 minutes at a time.

KutuluMike

Luke Cage is already coming out and supposedly Defenders starts filming this year

and they have to squeeze Iron Fist in there somewhere.

GodEmperorDune

23:41

@KutuluMike i still don't get why iron fist is a white guy

KutuluMike

because he is?

he's like a farmboy from kansas or something, he becomes iron fist by accident

Fluttershy

@KutuluMike You sure about that? I know Iron Fist starts filming this year, but I didn't know The Defenders did.

KutuluMike

@Fluttershy Charlie Cox was talking about it yesterday, I think.

that filming starts in December

ign.com/articles/2016/04/11/…

> "What we do know is at the end of this year we’re going to be making The Defenders and, of course, Daredevil is very much a part of that foursome."

@GodEmperorDune I don't read Iron Fist comics that much because the later solo ones mostly suck but from what I remember, Danny's father was just some guy who managed to find the magic city, he wasn't native to the place.

GodEmperorDune

@KutuluMike but it's a white guy who has crazy martial arts powers and this isn't the 80s anymore. we can cast other ethnicities now

KutuluMike

true, but a big part of his character, at least in the comics, is the whole 'fish out of water' thing.

he doesn't "belong" there, he only got his power because of some political BS, and as soon as he had the chance, he f'ed off back to America

Dragonrage

23:48

@GodEmperorDune ive seen other ethnicities. can he not be white?

GodEmperorDune

and non-whites can't be fish out of water?

KutuluMike

I mean, I guess they could have arbitrarily cast a black or latino guy

not like Marvel hasn't done that before.

Fluttershy

@KutuluMike Huh. Well... that's interesting. :o I figured they'd have a season of Iron Fist ready to go before they started filming that.

RedRiderX

Hmm Darksiders is pretty cheap right now.

Is it worth getting both?

Is one clearly better?

KutuluMike

@Fluttershy I would think that too, but it might tie in more closely to Iron Fist plot-wise so they want to reuse sets and cast? I dunno.

there's a JJ season 2 planned but that may be post-Defenders

I'm interested to see where they go with Jessica, since in the comics she basically gives up being a superhero.

Fluttershy

23:51

@KutuluMike Season 1 took place after that anyway, so the sky's the limit.

@RedRiderX Darksiders 2 is critically better than one, but I'm not sure if the stories are connected.

GodEmperorDune

@Fluttershy yeah darksiders 1 is really clunky

KutuluMike

@Fluttershy Season One sortof-kindof follows the Alias timeline.

@Fluttershy Kilgrave returns, she meets & hooks up with Cage, etc.

after that she does some New Avengers stuff with Cage for a while then quits to be a mom.

also, from what I can tell, Iron First should be filming as we speak

Fluttershy

@KutuluMike Right, but all of that happened after she'd given up being a hero originally. It was her first encounter with Kilgrave that made her stop doing the superhero thing in the first place.

KutuluMike

oh, right.

but my point was, in the comics she tries the superhero thing again and the quits again, but they're plugging her into The Defenders as one of the superheros

maybe they'll write her out and bring Castle in to replace her in S2 :)

man, every time I try to launch a recent-ish game my fans sound like they're going to take off and fly out the window.

I seriously need some new equipment
