fredley

@Unionhawk Oh, I see

ardaozkal

I remember eating chocolate covered espressos. Those were fine, yeah.

fredley

@Unionhawk Same answer, basically

ardaozkal

Just a spoonful of some bold coffee is a bad idea though

Unionhawk

Like there's doing it wrong and then there's whatever that is

ardaozkal

@fredley sir I'm on fire.

That is a dank burn on kalina level.

fredley

brb, going to make coffee

Derpy

@ardaozkal <SheldonCooper> Actually, people also drink eaten coffee </SheldonCooper>

ardaozkal

@Derpy oh I know that

@Unionhawk This is an annoying image

@badp What's this internet thing?

@twobugs it's a place where people wouldn't just go and tell lies to each other

ardaozkal

damn you @badp you broke my chat. The hover css on this just won't go.

two bugs

Lying is bad.

Unionhawk

hmm, that is now on my reading list

There is apparently another wave of WoW beta invites going out and I'm going to be real upset if I'm left out

Private Pansy

12:21

I thought it was because I was logged in, but no, I wasn't. And I don't have many of those comics on Comixology anyway.

Arperum

@twobugs Prepare to be upset.

two bugs

Comixology was kind of weird when I used it, but that was like 5-6 years ago

ardaozkal

You are what you eat, right? Now you can be Kobe.

badp

@twobugs you should be able to quote your Senpai Noti-co experience with DS3

two bugs

@Arperum It's the internet. I always am.

@badp Sent me a steam message last night to make sure I saw some of his ART. I saw it. It was too much ART for me

ART scares me.

Unionhawk

12:30

@ardaozkal go sit in the corner and think about what you've done

badp

@twobugs and you didn't see Parker The Hedgehog Except He Has Ears Instead Of Spikes

mostly because you don't know Parker

two bugs

I... don't think I need to see that.

badp

don't worry, I know what's better for you

Uh oh. Research shows that legalizing hunting does't really reducing poaching

badp

Derpy

@Derpy No. We do not need to escalate the ART.

12:36

It's just frustrating since I used to have some affiliation with conservation authorities in Michigan. Even asking people to hunt in sustainable amounts so that they can continue to hunt in the future faces insane pushback

Wipqozn

I wish computer chairs weren't so expensive

two bugs

That's really just from the fringe, though. Many game hunters actually support conservation because they recognize how important it is to the longevity of the lifestyle they love

Unionhawk

@twobugs come to Ohio the deer population is high iirx

two bugs

That's cool and I respect that.

@Unionhawk Deer population is high around here and there was INSANE pushback when they tried to organize a cull.

Opponents refused to suggest any alternatives

Chippies

@twobugs aren't the poachers usually people that don't hunt for fun/sports?

two bugs

12:39

@Chippies Term here is being used to refer to just illegal hunting

Unionhawk

Canada Geese are also dicks listed as no concern

two bugs

But typically the idea is people who are illegally hunting rare or endangered animals

Chippies

I mean, I only know poachers from movies/tv shows, but they always seem to be the kind to do it for money or other bad reasons

two bugs

The thing with deer is if we don't keep the population at sustainable levels they'll fall into a boom/bust cycle

Where population will explode, then they'll overgraze and have mass starvations

Which is a lot less humane of a death than a bullet, but that's just IMO.

Chippies

oh deer!

Unionhawk

12:40

Get the fuck out

two bugs

Plus deer are actually pretty dangerous and harmful to local ecosystems

badp

well of course, a human would put the bullet in the deer, so that's plenty human

Wipqozn

deer is just animals which wish they were as coolas Moose

also maybe I'll get an excercie ball

It's wht all the cool kids are doing

I hear GabeN does it

badp

can someone arrange a new stick of ram for @Wipqozn

Wipqozn

I want to be cool like GabeN

@badp Maybe

badp

12:42

he's having all sorts of parity issues, all of his output is garbled

ardaozkal

@Unionhawk no way I'm going to pay 10$ to a physical turkish-only copy on 720p, with some scenes probably removed. Virtual movie purchasing in turkey is a joke, and the netflix's turkish library has a really small amount of movies. Extra: song.

badp

we might have to upgrade from 512 bits to a full kilobyte

do you think we can afford that @TimStone

ardaozkal

Also "netflix's" or "netflix'" ?

Wipqozn

My office has this mesh chari things. I like those. In fact they might even be selling a few of them.

Tim Stone

@badp It might cut into our snack budget, I dunno

ardaozkal

12:43

@badp I can donate 50kbs if you want

that should be enough for turtle for a long time

Unionhawk

@twobugs also inb7 this gets extrapolated by people to legalization of marijuana not reducing drug violence, or even, increasing it

badp

50 kilobitseconds?

Wipqozn

holy fuck, some random internet person suggested this: store.hermanmiller.com/Products/Aeron-Chair

badp

that sounds like a loan, not a donation

Wipqozn

That sure is money

Unionhawk

12:44

Where those extrapolations are obviously dumb

But clearly that's how science works

Tim Stone

@Wipqozn Those make excellent doorstops

ardaozkal

@badp turtle can pay back later

Wipqozn

@TimStone Supposedly it's a super comfy chair with a long warranty, but that price tag my word

Tim Stone

(I don't have the picture handy but in a certain government agency one was being used to keep a door open, I kid you not)

They are very comfy, yeah. And expensive

two bugs

Basically Deer suck and I hate them

They're pests.

Unionhawk

12:47

@badp OH also I can vouch that pulp fiction is NOT bridge approved for a particular scene. Trust me. I just remembered.

Tim Stone

@twobugs A deer hit my car once, they're the worst

two bugs

That's one of the major concerns, they're pretty big and pretty stupid. They run out in front of cars all the time and can cause serious damage

Matt E. Эллен

I bet it didn't even signal

Tim Stone

It didn't!

two bugs

They also eat just about any and every plant, which causes a lot of damage to local ecosystems

Wipqozn

12:48

@TimStone lol wow

Tim Stone

After I had the courtesy to dodge it on the road, it ran into the side of my car

And left some fur, but thankfully no dents

Q: How to /testfor a player's gamemode

I've recently had some difficulties finishing a system; in fact, I need to /testfor myself if I'm on spectator mode or an another gamemode. Because I didn't knew what to write, I tried this, but it didn't worked: /testfor Kimatuy {gamemode:3} Can you help me with this?

Arperum

@TimStone Airflow probably.

Wipqozn

@Arperum More like your mom flow

btw @Arperum, it was great fun playing overwatch with you during the beta

Arperum

@Wipqozn That doesn't even look like a good joke.

Wipqozn

(I'll save you the trouble of replying and let you know the joke is @Arperum == @KevinvanderVelden)

Arperum

@Wipqozn I'm sure @KevinvanderVelden will be delighted to hear.

Wipqozn

12:54

@Arperum Yes

Arperum

@Wipqozn Your mom jokes are terrible, but that's not even a good your mom joke. It's almost as bad as your face.

I played with @KevinvanderVelden and he had a surprisingly non-draconic voice. I guess that's how they get ya.

Unionhawk

@twobugs I mean it's more draconic than @Arperum's

Arperum

@Unionhawk I'm not the person who has some weird Dutch accent. or makes the entire server lag to hell with ridiculous contraptions.

Unionhawk

@Arperum 1) see previous message 2) yeah

3) jerk as in @Wipqozn, which is to actually say certified rad dude

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn 't was fun, are you getting it? Because then we can play some more ^^

Arperum

Unionhawk

Man I'm glad a majority of overwatch people are Americas

I was getting ping spikes on the American servers, I don't think I could even handle Europe

Sterno

@Wipqozn Not for me at all. I'm about 15 years in and have 700+ energy. My constrained resource is influence. Mainly because my first frontier output was immediately destroyed when pirates showed up (literally spawning on top of it). Had to kiss that 200 influence goodbye, and lose access to all the mining stations in that area

Wipqozn

@KevinvanderVelden Yes

@Sterno Pirates are jerks

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk the connection was perfectly stable from here ;p

Sterno

I didn't get around to a 2nd colony until 15 years in though, which is probably later than it should have been. But my planet choices were all super crappy

I'm going to call my mother and tell her she's rad (and then ask to borrow her truck), you should all do the same

Unionhawk

Arperum

@Wipqozn What if I don't need the car?

Unionhawk

13:05

Which makes it awesome

badp

@Unionhawk you should aim for 5/7

Sterno

@Wipqozn Your mother is good at trucking.

Wipqozn

@Arperum Just tell her you love her

and that you apprecite her

and then ask her to bake you cookies

@Sterno Yes

Arperum

@Wipqozn She's already making me food this evening.

Sterno

@Wipqozn Building on a tile seems to take away whatever bonus the tile already gave unless the bonus matches a bonus given by the building

As does dropping a colony on a tile

Which made me sad when I dropped my colony on the best tile on the planet and effectively wiped that bonus out

two bugs

Yeah, it's a good step forward either way

Even if this approach is found to be flawed, hopefully it could lead to a refinement of the measure

Forza Motorsport 6 Apex: GTX 970 vs R9 390 Gameplay Frame-Rate Test

nvidia better step up their game with their 10xx series

MBraedley

@twobugs I mean they ran it against the previous confirmed planets and false positives, and it apparently worked really well.

two bugs

@Chippies They're the biggest graphics company in the world, it's a pretty safe bet they will :P

Chippies

13:50

@twobugs you'd think, but they dropped the ball hard with the gtx970

two bugs

(I'm not buying anything until independent benchmarks, though)

@Chippies All the more reason for them to deliver hard with the 1080

And iirc the 980 and Titan were still powerhouses

It was just the 970 which suffered

Chippies

390 is just a refresh of 290, while 970 is a brand new architeture that should be superior

390x is as fast, if not faster than 980

fury x competes with 980ti

and in dx12, AMD cards destroy the 9xx series

it's not good for nvidia

hopefully they will learn from their mistakes and do some good with the 10xx series

two bugs

DX12 is not widely supported yet

It's frustrating that NVidia hasn't supported it, but it's not a nail in the coffin

Chippies

@twobugs when I buy a 400$ card, I expect it to be good for at least a couple years though

and there are a few pretty big dx12 titles already

two bugs

The 970 is still good. DX12 has not fully materialized yet, and iirc performance for DX12 on the 970 has been improving

Chippies

13:53

and more are coming

idk about improving, but nvidia has straight out said that the 9xx series can't do dx12 well

and in all the benchmarks I've seen where you can switch between dx12 and dx11, nvidia actually drops in performance on dx12

MBraedley

@Chippies I don't think this is exactly fair. Forza 6 was optimized for an AMD GPU from the beginning, so of course it's going to better utilize that platform better.

Chippies

@MBraedley there's plenty of games optimized for nvidia gpu's where 390 beats 970

and forza isn't the only dx12 game where amd beats nvidia

anyways, gotta run a dungeon with wife

two bugs

Isn't the 390 a newer card, though? If you're expecting an older card to beat a newer card...

MBraedley

The 970 has been benchmarking better than the 390

Frank

@Sterno The game doesn't go out of its way to explain planetary buildings.

The whole tutorial isn't guided, just, "Oh, hey, you're on a new screen. Here's some info."

Chippies

14:01

@MBraedley you're looking at synthetic benchmarks and they're old

970 was doing better than 390 at launch

but 390 improved a lot through drivers, whereas 970 didn't do much

MBraedley

I still need to figure out which one I'm going to buy. If more comparisons come in with the 390 decidedly on top, I may go for that, since right now the two are priced pretty much the same.

ardaozkal

@MBraedley well MS seemzs likle cares about AMD more nowadays

two bugs

I don't totally buy the 970 was a complete trainwreck argument, and even if it was - I don't think that necessarily dooms Nvidia. They've still achieved solid performance with the 980 and titan cards last I heard.

Yes, it sucks the 970 was flawed, but it's not a complete loss.

MBraedley

And for me, if the 1070 comes in at only a small premium over the 970, I might get that instead.

two bugs

10** is being touted as a big improvement, but I don't necessarily buy into Nvidia's own hype

I'll wait for confirmation

MBraedley

14:10

@ardaozkal I still don't understand what you're saying.

Chippies

@MBraedley if the choice is between 970 and 390, I doubt any sane person will recommend the 970

otherwise, wait for 1070 and see how that performs. According to nvidia, it's gonna be faster than the Titan (lol)

ardaozkal

@MBraedley I wasn't going to send it but putting usb keyboard over laptop keyboard = issues

Private Pansy

@Chippies That's not so much a statement about the 1070's performance as it is about how uneconomical the Titan was

Chippies

@PrivatePansy Titan is still one of the fastest gpu's though

I meant that AMD and Microsoft seems like they are working a lot together.
