I do all different kinds of cardio, I'm just doing more running recently

ardaozkal

@fredley that is beautiful

two bugs

It's not a great idea to do just one kind of exercise

ardaozkal

@GnomeSlice I want to pick up one more album before BC goes down. I have 1$ on my CC.

Any recommendations?

John

@Unionhawk Hatdash was 2011? Sheesh..

Ronan

@John And every year after right?

John

15:01

@Ronan Wasn't 2011 the first one?

fredley

@twobugs Yes! I've done 6 runs in the last 2 weeks!

Ronan

@John Probably.

John

It wasn't every year

two bugs

Now that pretty much all of the GOP leadership has bowed to Trump's iron will, I wonder how this will play out in the future

GodEmperorDune

@fredley speedruns? which game?

Unionhawk

15:02

HamStare @GodEmperorDune

Ronan

@GodEmperorDune The one with your actual human legs.

two bugs

@fredley Nice! I'm getting to the point where it's harder and harder to improve my times :(

ardaozkal

@Unionhawk wow, that is an actual link

GnomeSlice

@ardaozkal Anodyne Industries has some pwyw singles

@ardaozkal or Kursa - Unknow

fredley

@twobugs Yeah, that sucks a bit

GodEmperorDune

15:03

@Ronan oh that game where you have to move the legs individually without falling over? i can barely get a few meters in that game

Unionhawk

@GodEmperorDune ಠ_ಠ

fredley

@GodEmperorDune git gud

two bugs

I should try for a mile sprint time again, I was doing more 5k slanted stuff recently

Shaved several minutes off my 5k time from last year already

John

I like running. I used to do 3 miles a few times a week until doc said I was killing my apparently weak knees

:(

Unionhawk

Man, searching "HamStare @Wandang" is my new favorite stare generator

Ronan

15:04

@JOHN HAS BABY KNEES: DATA ACCEPTED

Unionhawk

Or old man knees

Or like, skier knees

I accept that I will probably have knee surgery at like 37

John

I have knees that have better things to do than run

Ronan

@JOHN IS BATMAN FROM WHICHEVER MOVIE THAT WAS: DATA ACCEPTED

John

Apparently

Unionhawk

@Ronan You mean Batman?

two bugs

15:05

So I guess Nintendo is delaying the NX to add VR?

John

@Ronan I am totally okay with this.

Unionhawk

@twobugs Is this confirmed or rumored

two bugs

Real question... why do people like VR so much?

Ronan

I think it was Dark Knight Rises no?

two bugs

@Unionhawk It's confirmed I think but I'm trying to find a decent source

GodEmperorDune

15:06

@Ronan yeah

djsmiley2k

wibble

two bugs

Since a lot of clickbait sites will just repost rumors wholesale

John

@twobugs I would guess it's because it's the closest some people can get to living certain experiences

djsmiley2k

so what should I do with the small bit of free time i have guys?

GodEmperorDune

@twobugs because regular reality is terrible

Unionhawk

15:06

@twobugs Y U P

two bugs

@GodEmperorDune True, but so is VR (so far)

John

@djsmiley2k Talk in the Bridge.

djsmiley2k

I'm already winning then @John !

John

@twobugs I don't think many people think it won't get better

@djsmiley2k Bridge winning is best winning

two bugs

@John Well yes, but it's been "the next big thing" for what... 20ish years now? And it still hasn't taken off.

Unionhawk

15:08

It's getting off the ground now I'd say

Ronan

I think this is the taking off now.

John

@twobugs but now it's starting to

Unionhawk

I think it might have even cleared the tower

I'm not sure if it's that far though

Q: What is the best 1.9 magic fishing rod for catching treasure?

Since 1.9 made afk fishing a very easy and profitable endeavour (because you can use magic mending/unbreaking rods and ditch the rod storage/dispenser mechanism) and on top of mending you can use luck of the sea / lure and mending+unbreaking. I have been using the following rod to afk fish: ...

minecraft

two bugs

@John I'm defining 'taking off' as more than just being (relatively) affordable

It still isn't seeing significant support

Unionhawk

15:10

That is true, there are only a handful of games

two bugs

Until proven otherwise, I'm expecting it to turn out like motion controls.

Unionhawk

Elite: Dangerous is one game in particular though that I'd consider VR for

two bugs

Where several companies hope to cash in, but it ultimately becomes a niche technology (if that)

user15026

If VR is anything like 3d movies I won't touch it because it will make me want to vomit after a few minutes

djsmiley2k

now, where in the UK can i buy a tree for the wife D:

fredley

15:12

@djsmiley2k The Internet

(UK Edition)

GodEmperorDune

@AshleyNunn but the thing with VR is that the perspective moves as you move, so it shouldn't mess with your inner ear as much, right? Like the inner ear matches what you're seeing

Ronan

Any one of the forests?

two bugs

@AshleyNunn I think this is a perfect example of another technology people went nuts about that just kind of fizzled

Unionhawk

@GodEmperorDune There have been reports of motion sickness afaik

djsmiley2k

@fredley lul

Unionhawk

in some cases

djsmiley2k

firstly I need to identify what exactly I want :/

something smallish, which can stay potted D:

Ronan

@djsmiley2k They're the tall brown things with the green shit at the top.

GodEmperorDune

@Unionhawk i would expect the device makers to be working on that

Unionhawk

Yes

two bugs

They've been working on it for 20+ years, but some of these things are actually tricky problems

Unionhawk

15:14

It's also important for VR to be 60+ frames

for the same reason

two bugs

There are psychological and neurological aspects as well

Since it has a lot to do with how the brain processes visual input

Unionhawk

I'm not sure where I want to lunch

GodEmperorDune

@Unionhawk qdoba

Unionhawk

Not an option due to distance

djsmiley2k

ornamental-trees.co.uk/… berautifuil

Unionhawk

15:19

I could trek to Five Guys

technically

That sounds like a thing

Qdoba is a full 10 miles away, so

Hmm

Yuuki

@Unionhawk That doesn't sound far at all.

Unionhawk

It's far enough to make it not worth it

ardaozkal

Qdoba is worth it

Unionhawk

Not 10 miles worth it

Put it this way, 20 minutes away

two bugs

20 minutes is way too far

I wouldn't go 10 miles for lunch either

Unionhawk

15:26

We're just going to chipotle

two bugs

@Unionhawk cc @GodEmperorDune

GodEmperorDune

inb4 @uni comes down with massive food borne illness

Unionhawk

Just to annoy @GodEmperorDune

two bugs

The only thing Qdoba has going for it anyway is the queso

It's just that queso is SO GOOD

GodEmperorDune

@twobugs urmom is also SO GOOD

Unionhawk

15:30

@twobugs Yes

two bugs

Yes, my mom is a good person

Thank you for recognizing that

GodEmperorDune

@twobugs right, we are in complete agreement

not sure why @uni thinks otherwise

what kind of monster thinks @twobugs mom is not a good person?

Yuuki

Hmm... should I go to Shipley's for a free donut?

two bugs

I don't even know what Shipley's is

Yuuki

It's a donut chain.

two bugs

15:33

It's probably not real

Texas isn't real

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki the price is right

ardaozkal

Shipley Do-Nuts?

two bugs

@GodEmperorDune You're old enough to be Pat Sajak at least

ardaozkal

that is a weird way to write donuts

two bugs

Ronan

@twobugs Why did you write that last hashtag twice?

GodEmperorDune

@twobugs i had to google that guy to get the refrance #tooyoung

@twobugs and you didn't even cc @Wipqozn

I knew you would

I figured, since I destroyed you, might as well let you do the cc

GodEmperorDune

@twobugs Then who is Vanna White?

The violence against Trump supporters is really despicable. Trump is a horrible monster who encourages violence, but doing this to his supporters is going too far.

@AshleyNunn His pug, probably

I think pugs are cute :)

First celebrated during the Great Depression, National Donut Day began during the first World War when Salvation Army volunteers – called Donut Lassies – served coffee and donuts to soldiers on the front lines.

Q: What's the lore for Overwatch characters infinitely respawning?

I know most of the lore for the game so far, but why is it reasonable for the characters to fight if they always just respawn a few seconds later and rejoin the fight?

Q: What are the probabilities of receiving each of the crew types in the World of Warcraft garrison shipyard?

I'm having a tough time finding any info about the probabilities of each of the different crew types for the garrison shipyard.

Oh hey, Nintendo's E3 plans are changing

Apparently it won't be just Zelda and only Zelda

@Unionhawk They probably mean they'll be showing Link too

OH WAAHAAAAT OH SNAAAAP

I'm so sorry for my lame joke please still vote for me

two bugs

Neat, people apparently liked my answer!

Unionhawk

No, as in they'll show Pokémon Sun/Moon, Monster Hunter Generations, Dragon Quest VII, and talk about Pokémon Go

A: What's the lore for Overwatch characters infinitely respawning?

The confrontations that happen in PVP matches are not canon. They're framed by the lore, but they can include clearly nonsensical things (Like 6 Lucios battling against another 6 Lucios). Certain characters have 0 reason to work together, like Tracer and Widowmaker, yet gladly do so. Until we se...

@Wipqozn June 14

two bugs

Good edit @GodEmperorDune

I always make dumb mistakes like that

Wipqozn

@Timelord64 Some games do provide an explanation for this, and given how lore heavy Overwatch is trying to be I don't feel this is unreasonable question. — Wipqozn 7 secs ago

two bugs

Yeah, it's a reasonable question IMO

Wipqozn

16:27

also made another comment saying stop closing

two bugs

I just think it's important to point out the game itself does little to nothing to actually explain... anything that happens during the battles

Unionhawk

I downvoted it, but I'll probably not close it

Wipqozn

I agree it's not a great question, or even a good one really, but it's on-topic and I understand why it's being asked

two bugs

I mean a few of the characters themselves make reference to "The wonders of modern medicine" when respawning, but that's it

Wipqozn

If Overwtch didn't have such a heavy focus on lore, then yeah, it's dumb and a case could be made for close it I guess

but since Blizzard is pushing the lore so gosh darn hard I think it's reasonable for folks to be like "but meh respawning"

Unionhawk

16:29

Mercy has a revive, and is chief medical researcher for Overwatch, so that's not too much of a stretch

But it's a stretch enough that I wouldn't put it as an answer

Wipqozn

and we've seen other games which actually incorporate respawning into the game lore, like Dark Souls

Yuuki

And TF2's explanation is cloning.

Lots and lots of cloning.

Q: Were all the heroes in Overwatch part of the original Overwatch?

But for years, Overwatch has been disbanded, and only now it seems to be coming back to right the wrongs of the wo...

Wipqozn

@JoshPetrie They had a kickstarter for it a ways back

I remember it existing in some form before.

Based on The Dwarves book by some guy whose name I cant remember

KutuluMike

I have yet to see a Dwarf Fortress sort of thing that is anywhere near as good as Dwarf Fortress.

Wipqozn

@KutuluMike that's alays the problem

KutuluMike

16:55

I saw a couple in early beta that looked good except they never got finished :|

Wipqozn

IT's always Dwarf Fortress Lite, which just begs the question of "Why not just play Dwarf Fortress?"

KutuluMike

I had high hopes from Gnomoria but AFAICT it's dead

I'm pretty happy w/ Prison Architect, though.

Wipqozn

Yeah, I considered playing Gnomoria... but I just felt like I'd be better off just trying to get through the DF learning cruve

KutuluMike

it's not DF but it's pretty good at what it does

Wipqozn

@KutuluMike yeah, I think that's because they did something right there. They went for something like DF, but unique in it's own way

KutuluMike

16:57

I also found this one: rimworldgame.com

Wipqozn

Trying to just make DF Lite, but with better GUI, is going to have fans of DF just play that instead

@KutuluMike Heard good things about. Is it launched now?

Yuuki

@Wipqozn I've been getting emails with somewhat regular patches.

But they did that in beta too, so I 'unno.

KutuluMike

@Wipqozn no, it looks like it's in the same boat as PA was for a long time... perpetual Alpha
