@GodEmperorDune She's still here
@AshleyNunn will never leave us
@Wipqozn damn
@AshleyNunn I'm not sure if it's so much 'joy' as it is 'necessary evil' :P
user15026
@PrivatePansy Shush, I like buses
@AshleyNunn community mods are much busier (or so I heard) as they take care of all Stacks.
hence I said that
user15026
16:00
@ardaozkal Oh, you mean the paid Community Managers
user15026
I get it now :)
user15026
That's a completely different animal than volunteer moderation though
user15026
You can't really compare the two
user15026
There's so much more to CMing than just like...moderation new game + type of thinking
user15026
16:01
OKAY TIME TO PUT BOOTS ON AND LEAVE
@GodEmperorDune Of course. It's just complicated
and being the public face of SE
Also, is that image 404 for anyone else?
@GodEmperorDune I think she is away now. DRAMA TIME
@PrivatePansy which?
16:03
@ardaozkal (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
@GodEmperorDune u wot m8? fite me irl 1vs1. Note: bring ur own mtn dew and doritos.
wow, I just made myself cringe
I mean, I haven't seen anyone on Arqade become jaded enough that they write a script to post answers :)
@Wipqozn In the end, the only site that will remain is Lifehacks Beta.
In the grim darkness of the future there is only Lifehacks.
In the future, all websites are lifehacks!
16:06
Man I can't type recently
Well this is a title for a video: "The game so funny, it sent TB to the hospital"
Woops
@twobugs You seem to have typed "recently" just fine there, unless you copy and pasted it.
@twobugs when (answers.new.Contains(somethingNew)) { question.PostAnswer(Google(question.title).FirstOrDefault().Answer); }

Construct an energy beam using a ruby ring, paper clip, egg carton, two bic pens, a lighter, and a small third world country army.
16:07
@Sterno I wasn't address you, or I would have said "Old man"
OHHHHHHH BURNNNNNN
cc @Wipqozn
Now that I finished Making a Murderer (it was a very depressing show) I feel like I have no use for Netflix
I'll need to go into quarantine after that sick burn.
good morning bridge
Debating switching to Hulu
@twobugs lolololol
Taking Making a Murderer with a grain of salt. I've read that a lot of it is bullshit editing

Q: How to I make custom sounds resource packs in minecraft 1.9

Sam54123I'm creating a minigame where I use a resource pack with custom sounds, but they changed the sound engine in 1.9, and I don't know how to do that any more. I can already use playsound, I just can't figure out how to add my own sounds.

hulu is so much worse than netflix
(have never actually watched it though)
@Sterno I read some discussion about it. The filmmakers left out some key prosecution evidence and clearly had an angle
However, some things like the prosecutor being a complete piece of shit are accurate (he was later indicted for sexually harassing sexual abuse victims he met through court)
@twobugs so fuct
@twobugs Have you watched all of the David His Last Name Nature Documentaries on Netflix?
@Sterno The heat death of Stack Exchange
16:13
Talky McDocuface? Yeah I own most of them on Blu Ray
I'm tempted to ask for a Lifehack to get Lifehacks out of beta
Is question seeding a lifehack?
Pretty sure it is
@GodEmperorDune How so? The selection seems a lot better
@twobugs Ads. So many ads
@Wipqozn mindhack
therefore closed. probably
There's an ad free service
16:16
or a gigantic amount of rep
one of these two
@twobugs Really? Is that new?
It's a few months old I think
+$4/month
It's a little extra monthly
Well, if I did Hulu, that's what I'd do
Because holy shit they had a lot of ads, and long ad breaks too
16:17
wait, is there a paid version of Hulu that still shows ads?
I guess I need to sit down and make a list of stuff I need to watch
@Wipqozn Yes, the default version
@Wipqozn That was the ONLY version of Hulu until recently
We're talking 2 minute breaks multiple times an episode
@Sterno Why would anyone pay for that when Netflix exists, and internet illegal exists
It was basically like watching on TV
@Wipqozn That's why I didn't renew after my trial
One of the main reasons I use Netflix is so I don't need to bother with skipping ads on my dvr
16:18
@Wipqozn Netflix has a very limited selection
i cant see any images on the humble store
this is quite annoying
In my experience if I actually want to watch something, it's not on Netflix
The thing Hulu has going for it is that stuff comes out more or less when it comes out on TV
But I'd rather DVR and fast-forward than pay Hulu
@Sterno well that's good
If I didn't have cable at all, Hulu might be worth it
Or, now that there's the ad-free version, it could be good
16:19
Hulu isn't even available in Canada
@Sterno I don't have Cable. Don't regret it at all.
Filthy pirate
@Sterno Netflix
If I didn't have kids I wouldn't need cable
I don't have cable either.

Q: Core i7-6500U vs core i5-6200U for moderate gaming

Nicholas stevenIm planning to buy a laptop and there are two options whether to have intel core i7-6500U or i5-6200U. It has a GeForce 920M. Im guessing that the GPU will bottleneck first before i5-6200U. The price difference is considerable so im not sure which one to get. Also can i run Ark Survival Evolved w...

16:20
@Sterno Netflix has a growing selection of shows for kids aimed at yourage range
And from what I know if your kids you could just show them the same thing everyday and they'd be happy
Netflix has a really bizarre and random movie selection
My parents just dropped their satellite. They're using on-air and netflix, now
@Wipqozn Which we watch a ton. But there's no substitute for just being able to put on Disney Jr and not have to navigate menus, agree on a show, start a new one when it ends, etc
@Sterno ah true yeah
Maybe in a few years when they don't need my help with that.
16:21
With Netflix there can be a lot "what to watch"
I'm surprised that Netflix doesn't have a way for me to lock my kids into the kids section
@twobugs I don't watch enough TV for this to be a problem
Even when I was at my folks place with cable I had this huge backlog of 50 hours on the DVR I think
and I had to keep deleting stuff
I want to let my daughter do Netflix on her iPad without supervision, but she can pretty easily get out of the kids section and watch whatever the hell she wants, which is terrifying
MOst TV is pretty shit, and I'd rather spend my free time reading or playing video games most of the time
See I barely watch TV but when I'm like "Oh, hey, I'd love to watch $Show" 9/10 times it's not on Netflix at all
16:22
@Sterno Is she 3 or 4?
For example: I wanted to watch Seinfeld. It's not on Netflix.
almost 4
@Sterno They should really add in a password option on a profile by profile basis.
@twobugs ads, lackluster original content, shitty UI, and most of their "new tv" stuff is getting pulled back to individual apps for the channels that air it
16:23
That way that doesn't happen
Netflix and iOS both have parental controls, no?
I think my families DVR had that on a channel by channel basis
I like Amazon Prime because I'm already using it for the shipping service anyway. The video stuff is just a bonus
@PrivatePansy Not very helpful
You can set up a kids profile, but there's nothing that prevents children from just selecting another profle
@GodEmperorDune Ads don't bother me because of the no ads service, Not happy with Netflix UI or most of their 'original content', that sucks about newer TV stuff
@twobugs hmm, it was a few months ago
16:24
iOS, the best you can do is lock out part of the screen, which is not a realistic approach
@GodEmperorDune They didn't renew it because "its not worth it" or some other stupid excuse
@GodEmperorDune Netflix has been cutting way back on content
As it stands I can't watch anything recent for movies or anything I want to watch for TV
@Sterno they're going much more for exclusives now, yeah
oh right, bell finally took the non-sense "you need cable for CraveTV" restriction
16:26
@Sterno This is what I was doing before. It has limited selection too but free so w/e
Honestly I don't get why they ever did that
@Sterno Huh, really? That makes me wonder why they even bother. Netflix comes with a "kids" profile by default
like I get it, because they're greedy fucks trying to hold onto cable profits
but they must have known it would hurt the sign up rates a lot
@PrivatePansy It's better than nothing. And it's easy for me to tell if they've changed profiles
Like it was their response to people cutting cable cords, so why the heck would you wrap a cable restriction around it?
16:27
At their age, my kids swap profiles on accident, not on purpose
I'd really love to just be able to set up an account and assign visible shows/movies to it
The folks that cut cable aren't going to sign up for cable just for your crave tv. The price is as much a problem as everything else for them.
It'd be crazy simple to implement
@Wipqozn the cable tv sign ins are going to die in a few years
Seems it might work, although the PIN seems to be at an account, not profile level
@GodEmperorDune a few years might be too optimistic, but cable tv in it's current form is definitely on the way out
16:28
already some channels only require sign in for episodes that aired the last week, anything older than that is just ad supported
I'm amused that HBO Go (which I get free with my HBO cable subscription) is so much ridiculously better than the HBO stuff I get through the cable provider
@Sterno yep, i agree
@GodEmperorDune Zeus damn it, stop not being @KevinvanderVelden
I keep thinking you live in @KevinvanderVelden land, but then I remember you're in the USA
Petition to rename The Netherlands to @KevinvanderVelden Land
Not @KevinvanderVelden land is worst land
@Wipqozn i may be a crazy leftist, but no, i'm not european
16:30
How about @KevinvanderFAE land?
@GodEmperorDune Are you sure?
RIP @FAE, @ORIGAMIROBOT, @MARKTRAPP, @SPUGSLEY
Remember when @FaceSavouringDeliciousFood-Pig did what even the hat
I'm not sure who that is but they just got pinged
@Wipqozn nah i blocked that guy a long time ago
going to randomly guess Retrosaur
16:31
@Wipqozn nope, different person
Well I hope they enjoy getting pinged, whoever they are
WarThog was his last name I think
user15026
@Wipqozn yeah and Rogers and Shaw stopped the sign up bullshit for Shomi as well, which is also good.
Which I only now realize is Wart Hog
And not War Thog
I blame Wizcoupon
@AshleyNunn Also the CRTC told cable companies they can't deny access to their cable lines to resellers (aka tol them to fuck right off)
16:32
WizQQpon
I'm so happy the CRTC is actually doing things
Are there cable resellers int he USA?
I know Canada has some, but YMMV may vary depending on where you are
I know Wind is popular in Ontario
user15026
@Wipqozn yeah I know, that's pretty great. (my work keeps on top of all that stuff, never know what might be useful to us I guess)
Oh, speaking of cable - I got fiber broadband today
@PrivatePansy Fiber rocks
300 mbps
It only reaches that speed on speedtest.net though :P
@PrivatePansy Damn you people in more developed countries
@PrivatePansy prioritization
I did managed to get Steam to download a 3.2GB game in five minutes, so that was kind of nice
I'm not really sure how accurate the speedtest results are, given that the same ISP is hosting the test.
110% accurate, consumer
Huh, Trump and Newt are having a political bromance. That's pretty gross
16:37
This is from a server that's not hosted by my ISP
Damn, two stars?
Even Comcast has more than that here
@twobugs When I was on ADSL the connection was pretty flaky
And the router they provided wasn't very good
The router they provided this time is a lot better though
I don't ever trust ISPs for hardware
I use my own router and modem
Also, the telecoms here do form an oligopoly
@PrivatePansy Ah, I see we have exported AMERICAN FREEDOM to you
16:40
For the longest time fiber prices were above $100. Then the smallest ISP dropped their price to $49, and everyone quickly followed suit
> Yesterday, M1 launched a promotional S$49-per-month 1Gbps fibre broadband plan — slashing its price by half to go head-to-head with MyRepublic’s Ultra 1Gbps package, which the start-up is offering at S$49.99, and SingTel’s S$69.90 Unlimited Fibre plan, which was put on the market only last month. In response to media queries, StarHub said it is revising its 1Gbps fibre broadband plan, but declined to elaborate. It has stopped selling its S$395.90 plan.
"Yesterday" was two years ago
Also, if you read the fine print a lot of fiber connections here promises a much lower bandwidth on international traffic. I should probably check what's mine
So far I've spent all this morning with grep trying to track down this error
I'm getting close (hopefully)
USER ERROR
Age overflow detected from user @Sterno
I guess that means I wrap around to young
You wrap around to unborn
16:47
I think it's time to admit I have a problem
I'm struggling to find a use for all my bandwidth
We're going to skip right past asking what kind of collection we might be talking about
@ChromeSlice gz
Oh, Costume Quest 2 is in and Sunset Overdrive is out for Games with Gold. I guess I can check out CQ2 but I've heard it's the exact same as 1
16:54
@Sterno Sex toys, right...? And now I want to Google for the world's largest dildo collection.
@PrivatePansy Music...
@PrivatePansy why did I google that why did I google that why did I google that why did I google that why did I google that why did I google that why did I google that why did I google that why did I google that why did I google that why did I google that why did I google that why did I google that why did I google that why did I google that why did I google that why did I google that
I really shouldn't. Google's machine learning algorithms might pick up in that
I remember there was a funny thing where someone made a copy of the IS flag but instead of actual letters it was dildos
And people couldn't tell the difference
What's a dildo?
16:55
@Sterno It's the opposite of a dildon't
Ha cha cha
@Sterno its dough that has been marinated in dill pickle juice
@Dragonrage Oh, that makes more sense. I thought maybe he meant that Hobbit who had the One Ring
@PrivatePansy there is nothing.
@Sterno It's the name of Dill's to do list
@Sterno no thats bilbo baggins
i think
i never was good with names
16:57
It's 1am. I have a stomachache and I can't sleep and I'm making ditty jokes and random people on the Internet. Go me!
New steam monster summer game! June 23 till the 4th of July.

Q: I defeated the eye of cthulhu twice, Should i fight Eater Of Worlds or Skeletron

AnonymousI have a Godly Axe of the Night, Silver helmet, Ancient Shadow Chest-plate, Iron Leggings, Topaz Staff, 4 stacks of Shurikens, A Musket With 2 stacks of bullets, And some health potions. So What Should I Go For? Eater Of Worlds or Skeletron?

Imgur isn't working for me. DNS seems wonky. This is making reddit unreadable
@Sterno So not just me
Oh, good
17:06
And it's back
Actually, down for everyone or just me is now reporting it as down. It wasn't an hour ago.
@Sterno heh, imgur is blocked in turkey, reddit is always unreadable for us.
@Sterno Huh, so I'm not going crazy after all
I was getting some really weird errors when trying to load an imgur image just now
Started reading Black Science. I was pleasantly surprised by this comic.
Oh so imgur being weird isn't the corporate firewall today.
17:19
Ugh I guess I have to just get down and dirty with these files
Beyond Compare and other diff programs don't help too much because of the awful formatting
(It's a long and painful story)
Curious. Complaining about the problem online seems to have partially fixed it.
there's a terrible precedent to set

Q: Where is this location in the witcher 3?

Uri PopovAfter I stumbled upon a refugee camp and liberated it from filthy deserters I found this poster. It mentions Devil's Leap but I cant find anything about it. Here is a screenshot :

Don't be silly. What could go wrong?
jump cut to WW3
17:24
Pokken outsold the console version of Street Fighter 5. That's pretty crazy
@twobugs what, do they not have newlines or something?
No there was some weird build error going on before that I missed, I rebuilt everything and took a brief walk to try and clear my head and it's looking better now :)
It was the best kind of build error: the completely silent kind!
Oh gee, another steam monster sale? I still have my wormhole badge from the last one..
Wait, really? Another steam sale? And it's the same theme?
I don't see one?
17:28
@MadMAxJr so do I. WORMHOLE FRIENDS
June 23rd.
can you please link him?
Steam needs a button where I can hide F2P garbage
I cannot, that's all blocked from here.
Oh. I feel like these sales are getting dumber and dumber
17:28
@Sterno What about F2P non-garbage?
nah, my message above
with the link
I guess this isn't really "dumber" it's more "the exact same dumb"
oh wait
I didn't post any lnks here
@StrixVaria That's so rare that I'll almost certainly hear about it without seeing it on my front page.
17:29
It'd be like a unicorn standing in my back yard.
SMSG group said that it will have another monster game, but I can't see that claim anywhere else
oh my bad
doesn't say "monster summer sale" misread, sorry
I guess the best F2P game I've seen is probably Path of Exile
tf2 is the best f2p on steam
also dota
And that took quite a while to become a playable game
hots and hearthstone on bnet
17:34
TF2 wasn't always F2P
Wait, is it F2P now?
proud owner of "proof of purchase" here.
Then they found out that there are tens of thousands of morons willing to spend money on virtual hats
@twobugs since 2012 or smth, yes.
17:35
I just remember getting it as part of the Orange Box way back in what, 2007?
@ardaozkal I have the medal that they only gave to people who played in the pre-release beta.
2008?
I'd have that if I had enough internet back then..
Guys. I had ribs for lunch. THEY WERE DELICIOUS
We used to have 2gb quota.
I have 6gb on my phone, as a comparison.
17:36
I had Smucker's Uncrustables I brought in my Lunchbox. They were also delicious
@twobugs I do not get people's aversion to crust.
On good bread, the crust is the best part. On bad bread where the crust is meh, the rest of the bread is just as meh.
I don't dislike crust at all, I just eat these for convenience
They come frozen, you just throw 'em in a lunchbox and by lunchtime they're dethawed but still nicely chilled
Is it like extra-lazy PB&J?
It's PB&J for people who like to buy stuff in bulk at Costco :)
And they've been around for seriously 15+ years
They sell PB and J and Bread at costco
17:39
Bread is perishable!
Capital B bread. Because it's better that way
@twobugs You're perishable!
My shelf life is longer than Bread.
You hope
> Both the Hillary Clinton and Sanders campaigns had submitted names for consideration on the convention's standing committees, but in January when Wasserman Schultz handed down her final list of 75 nominations — all of whom were approved by the DNC's Executive Committee — nearly all of Sanders' choices had been disregarded.

The Vermont senator had provided the DNC with 45 names — a diverse list that included Sanders supporters ranging from Congressmen Raul Grijalva and Keith Ellison to former Texas Agriculture Commissioner Jim Hightower, a leading progressive populist. Wasserman Schultz p
It seems weird that Bernie is making such a big deal out of this. I get that he wants to campaign on the issues and show that there is a real left wing, but I don't think this is the right way to do that
And I find it hard to believe the DNC would be slighting him when he already has no chance of the nomination
I dunno. Just seems weird.
I guess Bernie's argument is he is getting very little representation?
17:46
@twobugs basically that the DNC has been working to stack the deck against him from the beginning
That's really fuct and also really stupid of the DNC. I hope he can prove it
from having very few debates to scheduling the debates on saturday night so they get no news coverage

Q: Is it possible to complete Asphalt 8 Airborne without IAPs?

inorganikI love Asphalt 8. But I'm starting to realize it may be impossible to complete without spending an absurd amount of real money, or literal years playing. To get all the stars, you must buy and max out every car. The in-game currency required to do this is insane. The calculations below were mad...

unfortunately for them it meant that trump stole all of the news and clinton didn't get any coverage when she did well at the debates
horrendously shortsighted
So we get to vote for someone who's bat-shit insane or provably corrupt. Cool.
5
17:49
@StrixVaria i don't know that this specifically originated with the clinton campaign
It just seems weird to undercut Bernie from the start, especially when Clinton had plenty of name recognition
@GodEmperorDune The Republicans haven't been as bat-shit insane in previous elections as they are now. I still didn't like anything they said, but it hasn't been to quite this degree of delusion.
@StrixVaria oh i misread that as bernie is bat shit insane
The Republican party seems to be getting pulled in all kinds of crazy ways so they're shifting further and further to the right
@twobugs they had that autopsy last cycle which said "guys we need to stop pissing off brown people" and the base said "nope, let's go WHITER!"
17:52
Well that's been going on for the past 10-15 years
@StrixVaria yeah, the current nominees for republican are all just completely crazy. There's a reason trump is winning.
@GodEmperorDune Here's an actual thing I saw posted to Facebook today:
> Uh , #BarrytheMuslim is leading the Transgenders bathroom debacle
Ironically W. Bush was actually on the forefront of "Guys maybe we treat the Hispanics like people too?"
@StrixVaria What the actual fuck
@twobugs i don't think the party was as surprised as when romney lost. all of their fake polls said it was a sure bet
My brain can't even parse that
17:53
@twobugs It went on for quite some time but I couldn't get past the first sentence.
@twobugs yeah bush was actually very nice on a "don't ostracize based on race and religion" perspective
But he did also use the hashtags #Oblundercare and #FailureinChief
@StrixVaria i don't even
@StrixVaria Gross
Stannis the Mannis for President 2016
17:54
@StrixVaria but obamacare has been successful?
> quite this degree of delusion
@Sterno just don't let him near winterfell
From my previous sentiment.
I remember the #Obamaquester debacle. That was funny
I feel so bad for you guys
17:56
@GodEmperorDune That all depends on how you define success. If you were against it in the first place, it obviously wasn't successful
I just hope America doesn't try to liberate us after this election
Republicans sequestered Obama and tried to blame him. They were ready to make it their next big thing. They just forgot to grab the relevant name on social media sites
So people parked on it and used it to mock the incredibly stupid movement
@Wipqozn Don't worry, from what I hear you guys are experiencing a growing alt-right movement, too!
If Trump wins the presidency, I hope we get 4 years of Jon Oliver making fun of his tiny hands.
@Sterno Isn't he planning to outlaw freedom of the press?
I hadn't heard that one.
17:58
@Ronan Yes, but as President he doesn't have that power
Jon Oliver also isn't the press
@twobugs see if obama had a yellow question mark over his head, i would see that making sense
@twobugs low blow
@twobugs "After all the executive orders #BarrytheMuslim made, I think you can afford me this one convenience."
He'll spin it.
@twobugs yeah, the supreme court would shut that down pretty fast
@Sterno There's a literal quote of him saying he wants to "gut the first amendment" so journalists can't run "hit pieces" on him
17:59
and im back
@twobugs Can we gut the 2nd one instead?
@Ronan obama has actually been pretty bad on freedom of the press with national security stuff
but trump would be so much worse
@StrixVaria It's only 1 difference.
@StrixVaria oh that's obama. I thought it was referring to bernie sanders. Which makes no sense, but that's just how crazy I thought this person was.
@StrixVaria The executive orders stuff really pisses me off. Almost as much as the "well obongo takes so many vacation days wheres the birth certificate?"
17:59
@twobugs It was how he won the Texas governorship so...
