@DanmakuGrazer I liked Generations. I know a bunch of other people didn't, but I enjoyed it.

@Unionhawk Well now you can!

Wipqozn

oh hey, and they mostly target minorities! Shocking

Yuuki

@Wipqozn Goddammit, Houston, can you please leave this to Florida?

Also, why not go straight to the bank?

Wipqozn

@fredley that reminds me, when you meet Canadian bridgers I hope you troll them with Friday

Avery

@Wipqozn that gives me an idea

@fredley agh I hate articles like this

I want to read an article, not scroll forever to read a sentence at a time.

oh wait

scrolled enough and got the block of text I glorified.

Unionhawk

$1 tacos best tacos

Avery

inb4 food poisoning

Yuuki

@Avery As someone who's had $1 tacos, "worth it".

Avery

I had 1$ doners

and couple hundred dollars of hospital fees after that

0/10 not worth it

Unionhawk

16:18

This place is legit

And its a Tuesdays only deal

Avery

ah

Unionhawk

It's not some dirty taco truck advertising a C health inspection rating or anything like that

Yuuki

@Unionhawk Everyone knows the best $1 tacos have a D at best.

C ranks are for posers.

oh boy it's here

It's kinda sad that IT needs to send out an email a week in advance anytime Java needs updating.

Avery

16:28

So ugh, I missed the meta post about the logo on /r/place. I wrote an answer telling the story of it, for those that are interested.

MadMAxJr

Oooh. $1 tacos

Unionhawk

6 tacos, $6 lunch, better quality than Chipotle

HazyKingdom

Unionhawk

Probably best in town

Avery

you know, I never ate tacos in my life

Trevor Noah: That's Racist - Tacos

►

Avery

@Yuuki thanks for the laugh

Yuuki

Trevor Noah's stand-up is wonderful. Obviously, his Daily Show start was a bit shaky, but I think he's improving a lot.

Unfortunately, I don't think he'll gain back very many of the Daily Show fans that jumped ship to Last Week Tonight.

Unionhawk

He had big shoes to fill

Jon Stewart was a legend and a national treasure

Yuuki

Yeah but even Jon Stewart's early days were shaky.

People were saying the same thing about Stewart that they're saying about Noah now.

Stewart wasn't the first host, that was Kilborn.

BlueBarren

@Yuuki Stewart didn't make the show? Who was on before him?

ohp

well you answered that question

Unionhawk

16:49

I've warmed up to Trevor

Colbert on late show is an improvement too

Yuuki

Trevor needs more time and more distance from Stewart. Hopefully, Comedy Central is willing to give him that.

Really, this would've been problematic for anyone inheriting The Daily Show.

I am willing to bet that even Oliver and Colbert would've had growing pains to try to take over as host.

Side note, his Chinese accent is surprisingly good despite clearly not knowing any Chinese.

Avery

yup, I noticed that too. At least the first half.

Fluttershy

I'm excited for Taco Tuesday. I always have fun. :3

MadMAxJr

Aww man. The food trucks aren't on this side of the city today. BOOOO.

So no taco tuesday.

Q: Playing Windows 2000 games in windowed Mode in Windows 10

I have a game that dates pre-Windows 2000/ME on hard copy that I tend to play on my PC. The game (Throne of Darkness) is brilliant to play, however I would much like to run it in Windowed mode as my resolution on my windows 10 computer with Geforce 720 Nvidia graphics scales down really far so th...

MadMAxJr

If it's safe for work.

JefferyColon

For Work?

is an AdFly Banner Link alright?

MadMAxJr

That sounds like an ad-referral link.

BlueBarren

yeah... I'm sure some context would be appreicated

JefferyColon

should i try it?

Avery

17:43

@JefferyColon Basically, if it's not adult content, bloody content, gore content, suggestive content or something else that'd get people into trouble for viewing in workplaces (or rude stuff), or seeing your new message, spam, it's ok here.

JefferyColon

alright

MadMAxJr

Yeah, adfly is a payout link shortener.

Q: Can I Re-Download Games That Were Pre-Loaded Onto my 2ds?

I was trying to get any hacks I put on my 2ds SD card, so i went in and got rid of some programs, erased the homebrew, and poped the SD card into the system. But Uh-Oh! I completely formatted the SD card! I had MarioKart7, Zelda OOT, and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire pre-Loaded on there. So I just want ...

3ds

MadMAxJr

So if you're just posting to get referral payouts, please don't.

Arperum

no. do not link adfly badness.

JefferyColon

17:44

t just goes to my website

it*

Avery

Then why not just link your site instead of making it go through adfly?

JefferyColon

sue

sure

jefferycolonsgaming.wordpress.com

Avery

@MadMAxJr Kinda- you can disable ads on adfly shortened links, but considering that he said that it's a "banner link", then it's probably indeed a link intended for referral.

JefferyColon

Avery can i message it to you privately to see if its alright?

Avery

I've seen your page, and am writing a quick reply

StrixVaria

17:47

It's not, don't advertise for your own stuff here.

BlueBarren

I'm still failing to understand why we need to look at this site

StrixVaria

If your motivation for posting a link in chat is to make money, then don't do it. If it's to honestly share content, then there's no need to use adfly.

JefferyColon

okay

Yuuki

@StrixVaria But how else am I going to get all this karma and sell my Reddit account to major corporations?

BlueBarren

Oh look Bayonetta is now on Steam

(let's hope that worked since steam is blocked for me)

StrixVaria

@BlueBarren I tried playing this on my Wii U a few weeks ago and failed the first tutorial level.

Avery

@JefferyColon hm, checking it, I should say that flooding your site with ads in form of adfly banners is likely to drive people away from it. I'd recommend going ad-free and just putting a donation button. If people likes your content, you'll probably get some donations. Even a 1$ donation is better than the cents adfly pays TBH.

MadMAxJr

Bayonetta on PC. Never expected to see that to happen.

StrixVaria

17:49

When I looked up how to not fail the first tutorial level, the guide said "this level's really easy, just get through it and we'll get to the interesting stuff in a bit".

Avery

@Yuuki make a shitposting bot

StrixVaria

Which made me really pissed, so I haven't gone back.

Yuuki

@StrixVaria Ouch.

BlueBarren

@StrixVaria yeah Platinum's games have never really been my thing. Most of them just seem like beat'm'ups

@Avery Shameless plug

MadMAxJr

I can't play Vanquish, but I like watching Vanquish.

Yuuki

@BlueBarren I think Yahtzee coined a good term for this, "spectacle fighter".

quartata

@BlueBarren It's 3.7 GB so not quite done downloading

StrixVaria

@Yuuki The level in question is something like amass X points in 5 minutes or kill both these enemies in 5 minutes, something with a timer.

And nothing I did even came close to working quickly enough based on the timer.

BlueBarren

@Yuuki now why did he do that? We already had the term beat'um'ups

StrixVaria

17:50

But it's a long timer so retrying with no direction on how to improve is stupid.

Yuuki

'Cause beat-em-ups are beat-em-ups, but games like Bayonetta and Devil May Cry are all about making flashy, over-the-top, completely unnecessary combos.

JefferyColon

well its the only way right now that i can get anything off of it. plus, I'm trying to get more content so i can upgrade my website and use Google AdSense

StrixVaria

@JefferyColon If your goal is to make money, this isn't the venue.

BlueBarren

@quartata oh that's awkward because mine is already preloaded xD

I prefer example.com

it's exactly aimed for that use

Yuuki

@BlueBarren Come on, be more unique with your text links.

Avery

17:55

@Yuuki be memeier

Yuuki

@Avery I've decided to start using random SE questions.

BlueBarren

@Avery is .com the only requirement for the link formatting?

Avery

@BlueBarren no, I believe there's a regex for it

Yuuki

@BlueBarren Has to follow HTTP formatting, I believe.

StrixVaria

@BlueBarren I doubt it, since that's not the only TLD.

Avery

17:56

@Yuuki What about random lazy answers?

murgatroid99

I wonder if it works the other way, with a link but no text: [](/rdwut)

Nope

Avery

I get that reference (or rather have hanged out enough on /r/mlp to understand what it is)

@badp yeah the switch to anime and back trick worked

BlueBarren

I think I'll just link to @Yuuki dad jokes instead

except I'm too lazy to search for them

@BlueBarren just finished, let's see if it runs

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

quartata

18:09

But hey I mean I can play TF2 at 300 FPS with the right settings. I'm sure all it needs is a little magic

BlueBarren

@quartata ah that'll do it

yeah but YL is also Unity

Unionhawk

He's not wrong for definitions of "not wrong" meaning "gas chambers don't count for some reason"

BlueBarren

which can apparently be poo poo

quartata

I can play plenty of other Unity games.

Unionhawk

Or is he wrong in those parameters too idk

murgatroid99

18:11

@Unionhawk It's probably that he's not counting them as "weapons", not that he's not counting them as "chemical"

HazyKingdom

@TimStone Wow ... just ... wow.

Unionhawk

Right

BlueBarren

You know the imaginary administration of Thomas Kirkman isn't too bad

maybe we should switch out for that

Unionhawk

It's a "wat" level of technically correct

quartata

@TimStone what on earth

Unionhawk

18:12

Which is the worst kind of correct

murgatroid99

Of course, the difference between killing civilians in their homes with chemicals and rounding them up then killing them with chemicals isn't really a meaningful distinction

Unionhawk

Nope

Tim Stone

He's trying to hedge on Assad attacking his own citizens too which is uhhh

@TimStone Wait. How?

Tim Stone

Imagine if you tried to play "Nice Guy Hitler" and then also decided to refer to concentration camps as "Holocaust centers", like the Nazis housed an NBA team or something

murgatroid99

@TimStone "Holocaust center" sounds like a pretty accurate term to me

Arperum

@TimStone wat. Is the next thing he's going to say that they are requiring people to bring a hitler salute whenever trump is in town?

murgatroid99

I mean, it's a little odd, but emphasizing the association between the concentration camps and the Holocaust isn't exactly a bad thing

Tim Stone

Yeah, but his job as Press Secretary is to provide clarifying remarks, so off the cuff wordplay for subjects such as this seems unwise

MadMAxJr

18:36

I am not going to the Holocaust NBA playoffs.

What the heck are you guys talking about?

Too many large corporations only care about profit these days.

Okay, I'm hearing a lot about Pepsi and didn't pay attention to the news. Now all the articles are talking around it. What exactly did Pepsi do with their ad?

Tim Stone

Yeah, United would like us to be encouraged by the fact they didn't just shove the crew members in the cargo hold like they might have once upon a time

@Yuuki loooooooooooool

@Yuuki This

Yuuki

18:43

So it's like if JIF released their new campaign, "Choosy Social Activists Choose JIF"?

Tim Stone

Did you get to the end? The end is the real kicker

Yuuki

"Wait, this was about <social issue>?"

HazyKingdom

@djsmiley2k - Tell me about it. That's a sad scene, what happened to people? This is just as bad, they're basically defaming the guy to distract from the event.

This is like the "well, Michael Brown was a thief" justification. It doesn't matter what he did, you're not supposed to do what you did.

@djsmiley2k Why does that matter? Being outraged that the airline had airport security drag a guy off the plane doesn't morally obligate you to give up your own seat to stop it.

the ppl on the plane?

murgatroid99

18:53

If I'm on that plane, I'm not thinking "If I don't give up my seat, somebody's going to get beat up"

djsmiley2k

yes the airline screwed up

oh

its either someone leaves..... or everyone leaves

Tim Stone

@fredley I CAN DRAW A PANTS!

murgatroid99

@djsmiley2k But most of them flew on that plane to their destination

So that's not really accurate

There's no rational expectation that the plane wouldn't fly at all if nobody gives up their seat

djsmiley2k

@murgatroid99 erm so there wasnt too many ppl on board?

i thought there was

murgatroid99

@djsmiley2k They wanted a few people to get off to make room for airline employees

djsmiley2k

18:56

oooooooooo#]

Avery

wow

murgatroid99

Even if a plane is in fact overbooked, they don't let more people on than the number of seats

Unionhawk

Which is something you're supposed to have figured out before anyone is on the plane

Theoretical

Tim Stone

Yeah, the fact that the airline failed to save seats for its own employees is insanely stupid

djsmiley2k

like not required employees?

murgatroid99

18:57

@djsmiley2k Employees who had to be at the destination

Tim Stone

They were employees transitioning to another airport to serve a later flight

Unionhawk

@TimStone and again, I point to Star Alliance too, who would have helped them figure it out

djsmiley2k

i dare suggest said employee isnt any more

ah

welp thats dumb too

murgatroid99

@djsmiley2k What? It's not the employees' fault the airline didn't reserve seats

Tim Stone

$100 says we eventually find out they didn't know to make room for those employees because they should have been on an earlier flight that they missed or something dumb

murgatroid99

18:58

@TimStone Yeah, probably

djsmiley2k

@TimStone or the employee told security something not quite true

HazyKingdom

@TimStone Smart man, that's almost certainly the case.

murgatroid99

Or an earlier flight was cancelled, or something had to be rescheduled

Or there was a flight attendant and/or pilot absent at the destination airport

There are a lot of reasons to unexpectedly need to move flight personnel to a different airport

BlueBarren

I thought we were under the assumption it was because United just assumes someone will miss their flight, hence they overbook hoping that people don't actually show up for their flight

murgatroid99

@BlueBarren They do overbook, but that's not why this happened

BlueBarren

18:59

@murgatroid99 why wouldn't this be the reason?

murgatroid99

When you overbook a flight, some people are on "standby", and not everyone who's on standby is allowed on the plane

djsmiley2k

errrrrrr
