Dragonrage

TFW you @gnomephone a message

two bugs

@Dragonrage What?

Dragonrage

@twobugs yesterday reddit exploded with overwatch traffic, now we are getting a bunch of it

@Wipqozn drama and stuff

two bugs

I don't think ~15ish questions is an explosion?

Sterno

Was it over that stupid mod election thing?

Fluttershy

19:03

Semantics!

Also, it's way more than traffic than Battleborn is getting us and that was a full launch.

Dragonrage

@Sterno maybe, i dont remember exactly. i think a lot of people were doing it at the time. maybe i did it just to be trendy

two bugs

Probably because Battleborn has much less hype around it :P

Anyway, just a few questions about a popular new release doesn't really seem that crazy. It's not like they're all going HNQ and getting thousands of views immediately

Dragonrage

@twobugs true. i was just commenting on the fact that 12 of the last 15 questions were about overwatch

Fluttershy

@twobugs It's not. But at the same time, I don't think that harmless hyperbole warrants what came off, to me at least, as condescension. No offense intended! Just saying it's how I read it, personally.

Probably because I put emphasis on stuff that likely doesn't need emphasis when I read it in my head.

two bugs

I just get confused when I read that we're being inundated with traffic or whatever

I apologize if my wording was bad

Fluttershy

@Sterno confetti

Dragonrage

@Sterno you really went and searched that?

Sterno

It took about 15 seconds

Fluttershy

@twobugs Nah, it's probably a me thing, and not really your wording. I was just mentioning, because others might read it similarly to how I did. :P

@Sterno That's what she... Nah. Too easy

Now I want to watch The Office again. :(

Sterno

Now I want to watch Archer again.

Q: Floating Watcher + Spreading Madness probabilities?

In arena, I got a Warlock draft with both Floating Watcher and Spreading Madness. I haven't been able to play them together yet, but the concept of it got me wondering what the expected probabilities look like. I mean, max gain from this combo is a 22/22 Floating Watcher but chances of that are ...

I don't know if the whole "we keep killing the joke" thing is supposed to be meta, or...

Unionhawk

New meta: kill all jokes

Dragonrage

19:19

@twobugs i think its just something we do because we are good at

two bugs

Well it's really just a few people who say that phrase nonstop

And they've kind of killed that phrase. Hence my question

Dragonrage

probably is meta now

two bugs

It just gets annoying when you see the same phrase repeated ad infinitum. Not everything needs to be a catchphrase

Or a meme

The more you force a meme the less it needs to be one

Q: Why is there a penalty for backtracking in a hallway?

Related to this question, and on the Darkest Dungeon Wiki link here, it mentions that there is a stress penalty for backtracking (walking from right to left, using the 'A' key), but I'm having a hard time understanding why that is. I understand this may be a "developer mind" question, but I'm try...

Dragonrage

@TimStone white or brown rice?

Tim Stone

Shhhhhh

It was basmati rice

badp

19:31

you seem ashamed of that

YOU PROBABLY SHOULD BE

user15026

My lunch is a can of spaghetti and hotdogs so I can't judge anyone else's lunch

Dragonrage

@TimStone you can have brown or white basmati rice :P

my lunch is 12 oz chicken and some veggies

badp

@Unionhawk do you know what the best part is

I never had to write a single paper in university

not a single one

ever

and I think maybe one or two total as high school homework?

SO HOW CAN YOUR PAPERS NOW BE THIS PEAR, WHEN YOUR PAPERS ALWAYS WERE THIS PEAR

user15026

I hate pears.

Chippies

@AshleyNunn what, why?

Sterno

19:35

They put hotdogs and spaghetti together in a can?

That's the worst thing I've ever heard.

user15026

@Sterno No, I dumped the spaghetti into a container and tossed in some hotdogs

badp

@AshleyNunn they're annoying to hold in your hand once you start peeling them

Dragonrage

@Sterno how about spaghetti in a burrito?

@badp why peel them?

Chippies

@badp what, why would you peel them?

Dragonrage

just eat them

user15026

19:36

@Chippies They're like everything I hate about subpar apples in one weirdly shaped fruit

Chippies

I feel like I came in and everything is weird here

badp

...for eating?

Dragonrage

@badp the skin is edible

badp

but do you eat pears with the whole skin?

I've never seen that

Dragonrage

@badp yes

badp

19:36

wat

Dragonrage

why wouldnt you?

Chippies

@badp I've never seen anyone peel a pear

like, ever

badp

it's skin, you usually cut it off

Dragonrage

it tastes perfectly fine, and has a lot of nutrients in it

Sterno

@Dragonrage Really, almost everything in a can is gross

Chippies

19:37

I can't even be surprised right now, because it's @badp I'm talking to

two bugs

Cheeseburger in a can

badp

like, you can totally take a bite off a whole apple, because it's like the thing you do when you want to impress people

Chippies

is there anything you don't do in a weird way, @badp?

badp

but otherwise you usually peel it?

Dragonrage

@Sterno what about homemade spaghetti in a burrito

user15026

19:38

@Chippies The few I've eaten I've peeled

Dragonrage

@badp no

user15026

I generally don't like fruit peel

badp

wat

Chippies

@AshleyNunn fruit peel is what has the most vitamins and stuff though

two bugs

Fruit peel is meh. I don't see a reason to eat it unless you really like it

Chippies

19:38

it also gives texture to some of the more mushy fruit

user15026

@Chippies It's unpleasant texture mostly

Dragonrage

the only time i dont eat fruit skin is if its a rind

Chippies

@AshleyNunn eh, that's subjective. I prefer stuff with peel

Sterno

@Dragonrage Sounds like it is not in a can.

Dragonrage

@twobugs it generally has most of the nutrients in it

or at least a lot of them

Fluttershy

19:39

@AshleyNunn Yes! Another person with a food texture issue! :D I feel like we're so rare.

Chippies

peeling apples and pears just seems like a lot of unnecessary work

ChromeSlice

@Wipqozn jajaouterspace.bandcamp.com/album/starfields

Chippies

and tbh pears are too mushy to eat without the peel, so I can see why you wouldn't like them if you always peel them

Fluttershy

I get weird looks from people around here when I tell them I love the taste of onion, but the texture makes me queasy to the point that I can't eat them.

Chippies

@Fluttershy my wife has a food texture issue as well, but I guess not to the extent Bridge people do

Dragonrage

19:40

@Chippies what? pears when they turn ripe are still firm and juicy

they dont last long enough at my house to turn mushy once they ripen

MBraedley

The only time it makes sense to peel an apple or pear is when they're being used in a desert. Or apple sauce.

Although the apple sauce can go either way.

Chippies

@Dragonrage they're not mushy per se, but they are softer than apples

Wipqozn

Time to play over watch cc @SaintWacko @Sterno maybe

badp

btw nice troll guys

Tim Stone

I think we're overlooking the fact that no one should ever eat pears because they aren't good

Pears are the "Well I guess we have to have a disappointing one" of fruit

Chippies

19:41

Bridge is full of wrong today

Dragonrage

@Chippies ok, softer than most apples

MBraedley

@Wipqozn Be there in less than an hour, probably. Need to go home and eat first.

Dragonrage

some apples are fairly soft

badp

I figured I should've stopped taking you seriously after the whole "you pour milk over cereals" debacle

Wipqozn

huh discord doesn't ant to load

Dragonrage

19:42

@TimStone no, pears are amazing

Chippies

@TimStone pears are actually nice and sweet and the majority of the core is edible

in fact, with many pears you can eat the whole thing

Dragonrage

@badp you do pour milk over cereal

Chippies

with apples, the core is full of sharp crap

two bugs

@badp ...How do you do it?

badp

@Dragonrage I don't know, some people claim they do

but they're just trolling

Fluttershy

19:43

@Chippies I've never understood how people eat the core of an apple.

MBraedley

@Wipqozn Works fine for me on my phone.

badp

don't let their lies confuse you

Dragonrage

@badp thats what you are supposed to do

ChromeSlice

@Fluttershy I do that

two bugs

What is the proper way to eat cereal @badp?

badp

19:43

yeah right

Chippies

@twobugs he probably pours cereal into milk and then puts it in a bowl

Fluttershy

@ChromeSlice whyyyyyyyyy

Wipqozn

@MBraedley yeha, just loaded. Hung for a while.

Dragonrage

if you pour milk in, then put in the cereal, thats just weird

user15026

@Fluttershy Most of my foods I don't like are because they feel weird in my mouth

ChromeSlice

19:43

@Fluttershy Mostly because that way I don't have to bother finding a place to get rid of the core

Wipqozn

@ChromeSlice I respect this

Tim Stone

@Fluttershy Or everything off the bone of chicken wings

user15026

@twobugs Dry.

badp

@twobugs add in milk, then cereal, eat the cereal, goto 20, until sick of cereal, then gulp milk down

Wipqozn

@ChromeSlice I respect this even more

Fluttershy

19:43

@AshleyNunn Same here! :D Yes! Except cake. I just don't like the flavor of icing, generally.

user15026

@TimStone Yes this

Wipqozn

Man, @ChromeSlice, +10 respect points

badp

that way the cereal is crunchy yet milky

two bugs

@AshleyNunn I'll allow it

ChromeSlice

@Fluttershy what kind of icing

two bugs

19:44

@badp I won't allow this, though

Fluttershy

@ChromeSlice Cake icing.

badp

and not the soggy mess you would get otherwise

ChromeSlice

What kind of cake icing

two bugs

That's laughably wrong and inefficient

badp

with most of the cereal at the bottom of your bowl

Chippies

19:44

@Fluttershy some apples have more edible cores than others, but for the most part, there's just too much sharp crap in there that prevents me from eating it. Not the case with most pears though

ChromeSlice

like, buttercream?

user15026

@Fluttershy what about uniced cakes?

Dragonrage

@ChromeSlice and the seeds dont have enough poison to kill you

two bugs

You are reaching cardinal wrongitude @badp

ChromeSlice

@Dragonrage yeah a lot of people think they do

badp

19:44

looking at you like the sogGY MESS THAT YOUR WHOLE LIFE HAS BEEN SO FAR

ChromeSlice

I don't usually eat the seeds though

Tim Stone

I solve the soggy cereal problem by eating it

#winning

Chippies

@TimStone I do that

badp

yes, that's the point.

Dragonrage

@badp you must eat slow

Fluttershy

19:45

@AshleyNunn I can handle that. But uniced cakes are rare.

badp

your cereals must be so full of additives, they're basically cement

Fluttershy

Angel food cake is good though.

Sterno

@Wipqozn Yeah, I'll be on in about 5 hours. An hour after you go to bed.

ChromeSlice

@Fluttershy You can order one in advance at probably any cake shop

we do them at mine sometimes

@Fluttershy yes

two bugs

@badp Actually I eat my cereal quickly enough that this doesn't happen. I think you're just slow and wrong.

badp

19:46

look, look, here's how responsible people settle debates about food

Fluttershy

@ChromeSlice Any kind of cake icing.

Tim Stone

@Chippies This actually doesn't surprise me. But I veto crunchiness in my chicken

Dragonrage

@badp just eat it and stop complaining

Wipqozn

@Sterno lololol

Chippies

@TimStone cartilage is the best part tho

user15026

19:46

Commercial cake icing = usually not good. Homemade buttercream etc = tasty

badp

who's the italian guy? I am the Italian guy. so I am right and you were wrong, and that's okay

Sterno

@Wipqozn I'll still be twice as good as you in half the time!

two bugs

You can say my mousing is inadequate (it's adequate and you're wrong), but this is clear proof your spooning is inadequate.

Dragonrage

there are starving Martians on Venus that wish they had soggy cereal

Fluttershy

@AshleyNunn I've tried the homemade stuff too. I just can't do it. :(

badp

19:47

unlike some other people I respect your right to mistreat your fruit and cereals

Fluttershy

Also, I love soggy cereal.

user15026

@Fluttershy Fair enough :)

Arperum

@badp You don't live in Italy though, so that would mean that you are living in the wrong country to be right, so you are wrong.

Wipqozn

@Sterno probably

Fluttershy

Soggy fruity pebbles are the best. Soggy Cap'n Crunch is a close second.

two bugs

19:47

I respect your right to spoon inadequately

badp

@Arperum I am merely spreading our Word abroad

user15026

@Fluttershy Nope, mushy things are really high on my do not eat list

Tim Stone

@Chippies D:

badp

my physical location does not change who I ultimately am

Fluttershy

@AshleyNunn But I do still love cheesecake and tiramisu! I hope this forgives my cake aversion.

badp

19:48

I HAVE TO GO WHERE THE FOOD IS WRONGEST TO MAKE IT THE MOST RIGHT

and in Europe that is clearly the Netherlands

user15026

@Fluttershy It does!

Fluttershy

@AshleyNunn What about like... Mashed potatoes? :o

user15026

@badp Excuse you me the Dutch have some good ideas about food

badp

@AshleyNunn lol

user15026

@Fluttershy Whipped potatoes are hella no. Mashed are okay if they have some texture still

Fluttershy

19:49

@AshleyNunn Like poffertjes!

@AshleyNunn I didn't even know whipped potatoes were a thing.

badp

half of the supermarkets are dedicated to the height of dutch culinary prowess, food-additives-ridden sandwitches

user15026

@Fluttershy Yes! Also stroopwafels and some dropjes and that stuff you put on toast whose name means "smushed mice" (not hagelslag, this is a white powder)

badp

stroopwafels can be good, yes.

user15026

@badp Okay yeah, I will agree that they're not awesome at sandwichtes

user15026

Also, ollie bollen because hello its deep fried pastry

user15026

19:50

You cant say that's not awesome

I'm going to be extremely mad if the solution to this thing not compiling is "just comment out the missing header files for key components that were committed to the repo without the header files but with the includes intact"

That's nasty

badp

but do we want to talk cheese?

two bugs

I'm extremely worried about @Chippies now

badp

my new Russian coworkers are happy here to eat real cheese after the EU trade embargo

but man

there's like

Dragonrage

@badp what type of cheese?

badp

19:53

gouda

and that's it

Chippies

@twobugs cartilage is tasty and potentially good for you

badp

I hope you like gouda

there's spicy gouda, bland gouda, old gouda, young gouda, sliced gouda, gouda in chunks, gouda with herbs, gouda with that thing you put on top of bread

Fluttershy

Havarti is the only cheese anyone needs.

Also, speaking of bones... I don't eat any meat off of a bone.

Chippies

@Fluttershy Brie and Camembert are great

badp

you can also buy chunks of Parmigiano thankfully

but that's it

user15026

19:54

@badp I like gouda except the spiced kind

badp

also I guess slices of Leerdammer

BUT THERE IS MORE TO LIFE THAN GOUDA T__T

user15026

@badp This si true.

Fluttershy

@Chippies Brie is okay, but it's not my favorite. Havarti, Colby, and a good sharp cheddar are my favorites. Never tried Camembert.

Chippies

I don't care much for the regular kind of cheese :/

@Fluttershy honestly, I don't even know what the difference between brie and camembert is, they're pretty similar

badp

I guess that in general the selection at Albert Heijn is less than awesome, and I live in Albert Heijn Capitol

Dragonrage

19:56

pepper jack cheese is good

user15026

I love just about any kind of cheese

badp

I can choose between Albert Heijn and, after a twenty-five minute walk, Albert Heijn XL

Chippies

cottage cheese is the best cheese

badp

this city has a street named Albert Hijnweg

Rainbolt

Pepper jack cheese is the best. When I worked at Subway it was the only cheese that didn't stick. That damned cheddar and american got all gooey and sticky, but pepperjack remained strong.

Chippies

@AshleyNunn I read that same article after I said I didn't know the difference :P But they do taste pretty similar

badp

@AshleyNunn there's a non-AH supermarket and it's somehow even worse

though larger

two bugs

Thankfully, commenting out the header files was NOT the solution

badp

19:59

NOW THIS IS A SUPERMARKET

user15026

@Chippies Yeah, they're pretty similar cheeses

two bugs

Oh god the solution might be even worse

badp

@twobugs could it be that it doesn't compile because it is trying to pour milk on cereals and then the world goes grayscale and soon enough you can see your face with a nice big red ✘ on top

two bugs

Well, other than mocking you online.

djsmiley2k

@badp ah ok, same thing happens with pasta tooo

so it'll be like 2-3 types of bread

2-3 types of anything else too

badp

actually it all looks like the same kind of pasta, which means that there's a whole segment the same length about short pasta further ahead

djsmiley2k

yeah

badp

@djsmiley2k :(

djsmiley2k

in a common tesco store it'll be 1 type of short, one type of long

other chains aren't so bad, but it's no fun

badp

20:05

yeah, that's pretty much AH

djsmiley2k

then they go on about having the largest store in europe or something
