@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment Haha

Identify this proposal

KutuluMike

so.. is that a pissed off user of M&TV, a pissed off user of Anime, a pissed off user of SF/F, or a pissed off user of Arqade?

arda

@KutuluMike anime

two bugs

I thought anime identification was allowed?

KutuluMike

I believe they just banned it.

arda

@twobugs they banned it a few months ago

KutuluMike

12:12

it causes a kerfluffle on M&TV when they tried to follow suit.

two bugs

Also TNG is making me appreciate SFF more since there are some good questions and answers there

KutuluMike

my coworker bought Exploding Kittens

arda

tbh I told the user to just make an a51 proposal as he was planning to make his own stackexchange-like website for identifications and his info on trademark laws wasn't that good.

KutuluMike

regular and NSFW variety

it's a damn fun game.

two bugs

The site still has tags I view very negatively, but meh

arda

12:14

@KutuluMike it is

I hve the mobile version

@twobugs can you name a few?

two bugs

For SFF? Yes. Star Wars is a cesspool

KutuluMike

Arperum

@KutuluMike your-face

two bugs

Anything popular at the time has a bunch of really bad questions, but that's true of literally every SE

KutuluMike

urmom

@twobugs true, but those tags tend to accumulate really bad questions for years afterwards :|

there was a run of just god-awful star-trek questions last year.

stuff like "how many times did picard say 'make it so?'"

two bugs

12:16

@KutuluMike Yeah :/

sequoiad

@KutuluMike I do like Exploding Kittens

two bugs

I mean we still get bad Minecraft questions (cc @Unionhawk) but we handle them in our way

sequoiad

except the other day when I got knocked out in 1 round >_<

It just bothers me when you get like, awful questions that get really upvoted

Seems to me as if there is a clear line between "Hey, this never made sense to me " and ",,,,xD this question will be epic ftw rep"

@twobugs Yes

Nzall

I've figured out what the problem is with my templated Dojo widget

and it's not an easy one to solve

Essentially, I need to use something i generated in Javascript as a servlet name

which is like the totally reverse order of what you'd usually do

Wipqozn

I'm upset that Italian Spiderman is a parody and not an honest attempt at making an Italian Spiderman movie

two bugs

Dojo is kind of a pain in my experience

Wipqozn

I blame @badp for this

two bugs

12:29

It's no jQuery

It is not perfect, nor does it do all of the things

badp

but is it adequate?

KutuluMike

@Wipqozn there's a Japanese spider-man that's an actual movie.

two bugs

I'm kind of torn on if I should collect figures or not. One of my friends is into it

KutuluMike

wait, nm, it was a TV show

Wipqozn

@KutuluMike but that's not Italian Spiderman at all

two bugs

12:33

The TV show is actually one of the first Sentai style shows IIRC

It's garbage, but it helped pave the way for modern stuff

two bugs

12:46

Okay for real, if I ask you to verify ONE setting on our software "can you remote in" is not a valid response

fredley

@Wipqozn This is awful

Wipqozn

In news which isn't surprising at all, The Last guardian was delayed

@fredley I know. I would have upvoted it if it was a serious attempt, since I could then picture @badp was The True Italian Spiderman

Kevin van der Velden

12:50

@Wipqozn I blame @Wipqozn for this

Derpy

@Wipqozn Welp

@Wipqozn I am now in so much shock and horror.

two bugs

@Derpy This game offends me so deeply because it implies Capcom was right about Inafune

And Capcom is bleh

Derpy

12:59

@twobugs well, they both don't come out of all the "Legend of the lost Megaman games" too well.

Capcom, killing its own franchise because it "didn't sell well" when it clearly was "it actually require effort to sell new games, we prefer reselling Street Fighter 4 over and over"

And that was on a franchise they already had ruined by over-milking...

Megaman never was very plot-based, but they still managed to abort any attempt at linking the plot together.

Remember the whole Zero issue?

the original saga Megaman that was never made, and should have linked to MMX...

fredley

@badp Your face is a very serious parody

Riley

@fredley gottem

Derpy

that is only the tip of the iceberg. And don't get me started on the whole "dash 3" thing

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley of good taste?

Arperum

Wipqozn

13:03

@Derpy I will never forget that

Arperum

I actually literally refused to do that.

badp

@fredley I do like deadpan

Derpy

then Inafune... yep right... wonderful promises, horrible execution

Wipqozn

@badp I'm still tempted to upvote it. I tried to watch the trailer, but it was so bad, so now I want to try and watch the whole movie. I might do it with my RL friends.

Riley

So, anyone want to watch "The Room" for movie night?

Wipqozn

13:05

You know, I feel like terrible movies is the kind of thing I could only do with folks in RL. I don't think it would work over the internet.

badp

@Wipqozn of course you have to watch the movie

Arperum

> Also we need a back button on the website.

Wipqozn

@badp That's a good point. I hadn't considered that.

Derpy

First, you promise a "drawn" style game. Then you give out a very generic 2.5D ps2 like graphics.

badp

The Italian Spiderman is mandatory

Derpy

13:07

and yet, you manage to delay the game.... TRICE? An lie every time too? And delay the demo that was supposed to be a "forgive us" consolation thing for the delay?

Derpy

And when the game is finally out, non only is still bugged to the point of soft-locking consoles (a thing no other game I ever owned managed to do to my WII) , but you also sent not-working-download-codes to your founders?

fredley

Riley

fun fact: every one of the sample questions on that ID proposal contain more information than the entire body of most ID questions

badp

@KevinvanderVelden what part of mandatory did you not understand

Kevin van der Velden

@badp all of it

fredley

13:12

@Wipqozn For some reason, people are committing rather slowly to dom chores. Needs more if it's going to make it to beta

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley We should probably just go to door to door with pamphlets asking "Have you heard the good news of Housework.SE?"

Wipqozn

@fredley :(

Kevin van der Velden

Or alternatively just go to random people and kidnap them until their loved ones commit to the site

Wipqozn

@Sterno When I do Dishonored I think I'm going to try turning Objective Markers off. Not sure how well it'll work. I assume you'll at least be trying the same? Keepining in mind that not doing so will result in mocking.

I think @LessPop_MoreFizz played through it that way

Nov 26 '12 at 2:47, by LessPop_MoreFizz

Particularly, turn off quest markers and just rely on The Heart instead.

badp

@KevinvanderVelden can you understand "never watch the Italian Spiderman?" Well it's the opposite of that.

Kevin van der Velden

13:19

@badp I don't understand

How would you do anything but not watch italian spiderman?

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy did you ever play through Dishonored?

Fluttershy

@Wipqozn Working on it now, actually. I restarted last week, and will continue slowly plodding along. But I am awful at first-person stealth games.

Kevin van der Velden

I actually finished dishonored

I think I did a no-kill run? At least pretty damn close

Riley

@KevinvanderVelden I tried doing a no kill run, until I accidentally quick-saved after killing someone

:(

Kevin van der Velden

I don't care super much about it =p

badp

13:24

@KevinvanderVelden we will show you

Kevin van der Velden

@badp I don't understand

badp

I'll bring the movie and @Arperum will bring the head restraints

Kevin van der Velden

It's like, you're saying that the sun is a purple cube, it makes no sense

Arperum

I own head restraints? Why was I not informed of that?

badp

@Arperum You'd use them on your compatriots

Arperum

13:27

@badp I'm currently trying to figure out how much money an actual defenestration would cost me. No head restraints needed for that.

badp

@Arperum defenestration does not result in watching the Italian Spiderman

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum You can open the window first

Arperum

@badp Yes.

While building a shelter, I decided to make it 2 stories and used a ladder to get to the 2nd story. While at the top, and building in the sun, I'm constantly checking my food and water levels just to make sure my character was okay. At this point my character was roughly 95% on both water and f...

@KevinvanderVelden Throwing people from the second floor tends to result in bodily harm claims.

Kevin van der Velden

13:28

@Arperum Solution: Throw them from a higher floor

badp

If @KevinvanderVelden has a Vive we could just padlock that

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden In that case: murder charges.

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum but no bodily harm claims! :D

@badp I don't think that'd work with the vive, it's very much held in place by gravity as well

You could just pull it up

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden strap you to the floor

Keep eyes open with toothpicks.

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy I was hoping the answer was "No, and I still hate you", but that's fine too. What mission are you on?

Kevin van der Velden

13:32

@Arperum wouldn't they get in the way of the watchi... Yes that's acceptable

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden creative use of toothpicks may be required

Kevin van der Velden

Creative use of toothpicks sounds terrifying

But then so does italian spiderman sooo

Derpy

@Fluttershy The stealth-suit with the bunny hears Rarity gave you isn't probably gonna help..

sequoiad

@KevinvanderVelden i would, indeed, be terrified of someone looking at me with a calculating expression and a toothpick

Arperum

@sequoiad be very afraid

Kevin van der Velden

13:34

@sequoiad even worse if it was @badp and @Arperum

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden Do you want some extra maniacal smile with that?

Kevin van der Velden

user15026

I'm reading this book called Dreaming in Code that's supposed to be like a introspective on how the software development process kinda works in terms of the thought processes behind how it is approached and it's not as good as I wanted it to be. I can't tell if it is because it rehashes too many history things I already know, or tries to make coding seem more like black magic than anything else.

Sterno

@Wipqozn Apparently the haunted library was in "Casing the Joint"

> Q: What's the deal with the ghosts in the library? Is there some way to put them to rest?
A:

in lower level of the library, read the four books
open the secret door to the corpses by "frobbing" a certain book left of the secret door
apparition will vanish, correspondence karras - gervasius and another letter appears in the higher level of the library, SE
read the correspondence and the letter

Fluttershy

14:22

@Wipqozn It was totally deserved. He looked at me. The nerve of him.

user15026

"these language names are written in all caps as they are acronyms but I will spare your eyes"... For some reason them then writing FORTRAN as Fortran makes me punchy

Fluttershy

Also, Bridge, I have finished The Wheel of Time, and now I feel like there is a large hole in my life.

user15026

@Fluttershy post book drop, because you liked it and now it is done and now what do you read?

Nzall

@Fluttershy Do you agree with the popular opinion that the series starts to become slow around book 8, until Sanderson takes over?

Fluttershy

@Nzall To an extent. While the pacing slowed, I never felt like things actually got boring. I was thoroughly engrossed from page one to the last page. I will say that I was completely blown away by Sanderson's battle writing.

Nzall

14:29

@Fluttershy I assume you now are looking for something else to read?

Fluttershy

@Ash Pretty much, yeah. And I felt so invested in the world and its characters that it's sad to see it end.

Unionhawk

Is it bad that I'm watching Overwatch World Cup VODs instead of sending senior design emails?

Fluttershy

@Nzall I'm planning on The Dark Tower series next.

Nzall

@Fluttershy Have you read The Dresden Files yet?

Unionhawk

Not even NA, since most NA teams got a bye

At least, US and Canada

Fluttershy

14:30

@Nzall I have not, but Jim Butcher is pretty awful when it comes to LGBT characters. Not like... Orson Scott Card awful, but still pretty bad, so I'm not sure I want to give him my business.

sequoiad

I need to get reading the Shannara Chronicles books

user15026

@Nzall I have read a few of those but they felt very repetitive after a bit so I stopped

sequoiad

show itself was kinda meh, but liked the concept

Nzall

@Fluttershy I haven't actually come across any LGBT characters in TDF

Kevin van der Velden

@Fluttershy I should reread that again

Sterno

Unionhawk

Kevin van der Velden

@Sterno that was a fun scene

Arperum

@Sterno It's not.

Fluttershy

14:33

@Nzall Apparently the only gay character was an evil lesbian woman, and all bisexual characters are male fantasy oversexualized female vampires.

So his uh... Track record isn't the best.

Arperum

@Fluttershy That sounds like a personal terrible pron fantasy thing more like.

Sterno

I'm pretty sure there was a oversexualized bisexual faerie too

Kevin van der Velden

Fairly sure

And no that pun wasn't intended

Sterno

ilaeria.blogspot.com/2013/04/…

Scroll down to the quoted section of book

user15026

@Fluttershy yep.

Sterno

14:42

Bloggers view of it:

> Hardly a ringing support speech for LGBTQ rights. He has no problem with gay guys as long as they're not "doing whatever they do" in front of him; he has no opinion on if homosexuality is "right or wrong" but then goes on to compare it to drinking, smoking, etc; and he also throws in a dash of generic slut-shaming to boot. But oh, as long as people are "free" to do what they want, everything is okay.

Nzall

@Sterno I wouldn't really call it homophobia, more like homo-ambivalence

Sterno

Not where I went with it, but hey.

user15026

@Nzall that's not really more awesome tbh

Nzall

He doesn't really care about LGBT individuals as long as they're not shoving it in his face, which is a sentiment I can agree with

Sterno

I think it's weird that having a different, non-hostile feeling about casual, anonymous sex is considered "slut-shaming"

@Nzall That's not even what he says

user15026

14:44

@Nzall whoa wait what excuse me what shoving it in your face? When we get straight pda shoved in our faces in like every form of media?

Sterno

Because "shoving it in my face" can mean a lot of things, like "YOU GUYS HELD HANDS IN PUBLIC. STOP SHOVING IT IN MY FACE". And that's not what he's saying

Basically, he says, "I'm not having sex in their house and they're not having it in mine, so why should I care?"

user15026

You know what? No. I am not going to do this. I am going to find my chill and go get my nails done.

Nzall

And that's exactly my sentiment about it as well

Kevin van der Velden

@Ash it's... less worse? I think that makes sense

Sterno

"Shoving it in my face" should probably only be used literally in this situation, in which case I don't care what gender you are, I don't want you shoving it in my face. That's unsanitary.

Nzall

14:46

I mean, I'm a virgin closet bi as well, and I think you shouldn't have sex where it's visible to other people at all regardless of sexuality, unless you're at a party specially aimed at that kind of stuff

And if 2 men decide to get it on in the privacy of their own bedroom, who am I to judge?
