Oh lordy. Not another "insert race here" lives matter. All lives matter people!

Elizer

@badp Oh. Yes. Wait, why is that bad?

Unionhawk

badp

18:02

now you're going to sit through the discussion you wanted to avoid

Elizer

@badp oh no

MadMAxJr

Oh no.

Unionhawk

You're about to force my hand here

@Elizer The basic thesis of the Black Lives Matter movement is that society values black lives less than other lives, and that that should be changed. Responding with "all lives matter" effectively dismisses that concern without solving the problem

Q: Are all the Just Cause games along the same timeline?

From what I've heard, all three protagonists in the three Just Cause games are named "Rico Rodriguez" (I know that's what Just Cause 3's protagonist is named, and I believe the same is for JC2). That makes it sound like they're all the same guy, so does that mean the Just Cause games take place o...

@Unionhawk I'm sorry. Please don't hurt me....

Avery

@BlueBarren something something bad conext

GnomeSlice

18:03

@murgatroid99 Some people don't believe that society values black lives less than other lives

badp

@GnomeSlice They're wrong.

Avery

oh no

GnomeSlice

@badp They think you're wrong, though

BlueBarren

@Avery something something I should use more @ symbols

murgatroid99

@GnomeSlice And yet, there is ample evidence to the contrary

Avery

18:04

people ok let's stop this is not the place fo

Unionhawk

MadMAxJr

don't use up the @ stockpile, we only have so many for the year.

Yuuki

APPLY LIME JUICE TO YOUR TACOS WITH CAUTION.

BlueBarren

oh no

Yuuki

AND RESTRAINT.

BlueBarren

18:05

there is a message between the message I wanted to reply to

Unionhawk

@Yuuki you have lime juice in your eye don't you

BlueBarren

and i can't use anymore @ symbols so how do I reply?

badp

you can't

BlueBarren

oh no

Avery

badp: we can go IRC again

Yuuki

18:06

@Unionhawk No, I put too much in my green chile pork and now it's bitter as f--k.

BlueBarren

wait a minute...

MODABUSE

Avery

toxicfrog: I wonder if this messes up with the irc bridge

badp

oh no

BlueBarren

now does this fall into good modabuse or bad modabuse?

I prefer the former

Unionhawk

-oh-no

Elizer

18:07

What exactly is he doing?

Ronan

Dammit, I was going to change to room name, but I committed sudoku earlier and so can't.

BlueBarren

who doing?

Unionhawk

-stars

Elizer

you doing!

Ronan

Although that's perhaps for the best.

BlueBarren

18:07

me doing?

Elizer

yes!

BlueBarren

why me?

why not you

GnomeSlice

:/

Elizer

I want to know what you did!

badp

I'm starting to lose count of all the IQ points I'm losing reading this

Unionhawk

18:08

I have no idea what's happening

Am I still awake

badp

@Unionhawk yes

BlueBarren

an @ symbol! :o

quick catch it!

Elizer

@Unionhawk If no one is awake subconsciously, then they are 6 ft under

Unionhawk

Don't make me turn this bridge around

Elizer

@Unionhawk Who me?

I can't read that

Elizer

Yay! I can go back to regaining some IQ points that I lost by having that conversation. ( I lost them due to what I said)

BlueBarren

it's in some other language

Elizer

Wait so can you guys listen to pandora Wherever you are? Avery I know that you can't.

Unionhawk

18:14

It costs data so yes but no

BlueBarren

but also yes

and kinda no

Elizer

Yes but no? That makes none sense to me.

BlueBarren

Why I outta give you some sense!

Chippies

@Elizer sometimes when you can, you should consider if you should

Elizer

@Chippies Ah. I see.

@BlueBarren Please do.

BlueBarren

18:16

Oh... okay, well here you go. Hands over all sense

Elizer

Well i don't want all of it Hands back half

here's something that will help you deal with all the dumb above

MadMAxJr

Speed unboxing?

What.

Elizer

Fine. Eats rest of sense

badp

18:18

@MadMAxJr the least dumb thing this hour

BlueBarren

Now that is just nonsense

GnomeSlice

@badp this seems like more dumb

Elizer

All right. I gotta go.

BlueBarren

Don't forget your sense

Chippies

@GnomeSlice that mix you cc'd me on yesterday (I think, Idk, saw it this morning) is pretty good

GnomeSlice

18:19

Wick-It? Yeah it's damn good

Chippies

too bad the download is just one long-ass mix, instead of separate tracks

BlueBarren

@Chippies something something Metal Gear Solid reference

GnomeSlice

@Chippies It's a live set

Avery

@Elizer iirc it's US only. Or US+CA.

Chippies

@GnomeSlice ah, that explains it, I guess

Avery

18:20

I can listen to pandora however.

VPN is a thing

GnomeSlice

@Chippies a lot of his tracks are free

Chippies

> Pandora isn’t available where you are… yet.
Pandora is only available in the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand right now – but we are working on bringing our music service to other parts of the world.

GnomeSlice

like, most of them I'm pretty sure

Avery

@Chippies ah

Chippies

@GnomeSlice did you listen to gryfon? I linked a song a while ago, although I should've just linked the user

some good stuff there

GnomeSlice

18:22

I listened to the track you linked

didn't check out the rest yet

Chippies

very similar style to JUELZ

GnomeSlice

ooo

BlueBarren

When you're the only one not affected by the dumb in chat

GnomeSlice

@Chippies huh, really heavy. Lo-fi feel too. Definitely pretty glitchy

not bad, but it's a bit unstructured for me

Also, no downloads :(

Chippies

@GnomeSlice yeah, I had to use some soundcloud to mp3 website. I still feel dirty about it

GnomeSlice

18:29

soundcloud uploads are only like 128 but doesn't really matter I guess, especially with lofi stuff

Yuuki

I really should start learning guitar again.

DanmakuGrazer

They changed Twitch

Avery

@DanmakuGrazer I blame 3v

Hmm... there's a lot fewer proper covers/instumentals of "Aoi Shiori" than I thought there would be.

MadMAxJr

BlueBarren

19:16

Can I pay someone to google things for me?

Unionhawk

Oh hey, OW world cup vote results are in

Team USA national committee is Ster KyKy and Jason Kaplan

Not to be confused with Jeff From The Overwatch Team

And groups have been announced as well

Yuuki

@Unionhawk Well yeah, if Jeff From The Overwatch Team was on the USA team, then everyone else might as well surrender.

Nobody wants to wrestle with Jeff From The Overwatch Team.

MBraedley

@Unionhawk NEPOTISM!!!

Unionhawk

@Yuuki Jeff is like plat lol

Elizer

@Yuuki I will!

Unionhawk

19:18

@MBraedley they're not related

@Unionhawk Memes

MBraedley

@Unionhawk perceived nepotism!

Unionhawk

Yeesh, Canada and Turkey are in a rough group

Wait no I'm dumb

Yuuki

Oh man, I feel really sorry for Austria.

Unionhawk

Right?

Yuuki

19:20

(And everyone in S. Korea's group, but mostly Austria)

Unionhawk

Imagine being a 31 seed in this format, first of all

Our group looks cake

Jutschge

Poor kangaroos

Unionhawk

Canada Singapore and Turkey are all in a single group lol

Yuuki

Seriously, RIP Austria.

Unionhawk

With Russia

Question how the fuck is Canada seeded higher than Russia

Yuuki

19:22

Sanctions?

MBraedley

What I came back here to say is that I really hate the amount of boilerplate code I need to write just to add a message format to this application. Too many hoops to jump through that would be better served with some meta-programming.

HazyKingdom

Portugal has this tourney in the bag, no problem.

Yuuki

@Unionhawk Wait, we're sending Ster again?

Unionhawk

@Yuuki ye

Yuuki

MBraedley

19:23

@Unionhawk Canada's university esports scene is ramping up.

Unionhawk

@Yuuki I have faith

Yuuki

There were so many better analyst options though...

Unionhawk

Eh

Yuuki

Ster might be a good player, but I'm not quite sure about his coach-related abilities.

Unionhawk

He's done some analysis, I think we'll be fine overapl

Yuuki

19:26

Well, at least we're better off than UK.

Poor chumps, they got Stylosa.

Unionhawk

I don't know if the USA World Class Player base is even 6 players deep though lol

Especially since nobody on nV is from NA

Yuuki

@Unionhawk Yeah but UK's gonna have to pick up seven players to have someone competent to fill in Stylosa's committee spot.

Unionhawk

And even several C9 players are from EU so we can't just fill it with those memelords

Yuuki

On the other hand, I think the rumors were that the pros weren't taking WC seriously last year so maybe it's a good thing we don't have a lot of pros to choose from.

Unionhawk

Is reaver USA? We could have LETSGOCHAMP on the team

GodEmperorDune

19:42

hey, looks like the US match is playing near me

BlueBarren

hmmm

I can't tell if I fixed my problem or made it worse

murgatroid99

This is amazing. Someone accidentally sent an email to the whole company with "ACTION REQUIRED" in the subject line. After an hour, there are over a hundred replies, and the thread has forked at least once

MadMAxJr

Is it killing the mail server?

Elizer

@BlueBarren What's your problem that you're unsure of?

GodEmperorDune

@murgatroid99 reply all "please take me off this list" is best reply

Unionhawk

19:48

The only team I'm even slightly worried about in our group is Chinese Taipei

murgatroid99

@MadMAxJr I'm pretty sure that if any mail server can handle several million emails per hour, it's Gmail

GodEmperorDune

@MadMAxJr i would hope not

MadMAxJr

Ah. I had that happen on an exchange server back in 2007 with a global company

CIO hit reply all asking people to stop hitting reply all.

That was the last mail anybody got for four hours.

murgatroid99

@GodEmperorDune I think "please stop replying all" is better

GodEmperorDune

@MadMAxJr hue

BlueBarren

19:49

is the upload button not working for anyone else?

oh

now it is

Elizer

So why does the chat sometimes put a whole bunch of spaces when someone messages?

Yuuki

@BlueBarren I think that you may or may not have access to C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\0. Maybe.

BlueBarren

@Yuuki it is quite possible

murgatroid99

Oh, I actually missed one of the threads. There are actually well over 200 replies to that email, so far

BlueBarren

But clearly this answer isn't definitive and I should do more testing

Elizer

19:52

@BlueBarren Well is it working now?

BlueBarren

@Elizer no, ask again in 3 seconds

Elizer

@BlueBarren What about now

BlueBarren

@Elizer no, ask again in 3 seconds

murgatroid99

Oh god, someone CC'd congratbot

BlueBarren

Elizer

19:53

So does anyone have an answer to my question?

Yuuki

Sometimes, the splines just have to reticulate.

BlueBarren

Elizer

@BlueBarren wut?

BlueBarren

@Elizer that's my answer

Elizer

@BlueBarren Okay then....

@yuuki are you sure you don't just have to unfold some foldy chairs?

NScript isn't sandboxed and runs at a very high privilege level, and it's used to evaluate untrusted code by default on almost every modern Windows system.

why would anyone think this is a good idea?

Elizer

@GodEmperorDune B/c people can be pretty dumb somtimes

I don't think I can reply to comment flags, but

if you see an outdated comment, don't flag it, get writing

I have no idea how and why this comment is obsolete...

but unless all of it has stopped being true, "delete" is not what should be happening

Unionhawk

I can't figure out what is outdated there either

Elizer

@badp what question is the comment on?

Unionhawk

Mann co caps still appear to exist, and backpack limit is still a thing

And it still operates like that

Oh Mann co online store no longer exists?

When Chirrut and Baze are on the same team, it seems like I can never kill either of them. Chirrut heals too much and does too much damage, and Baze is so tanky it feels like he can't die.

Is it nice after the 2.0 change?

HazyKingdom

Yep, major upgrade. Serious fun w/ friends.

Yuuki

@MadMAxJr 2.0 didn't change the gameplay, just the meta around leveling up, hero access, cosmetics, etc.

HazyKingdom

Yep, but having ~15 heroes to choose from is way better than grinding 30 games for 2 low cost heroes.

I got raynor to level 8 when HOTS first came out just trying to get two other heroes.

So long as Tychus is still a good shooty man.

I haven't played in months. My Bliz game playgroup kinda left with my ex.

MadMAxJr

I just like playing infested Tychus.

HazyKingdom

ah dude you're preaching to the choir, I only know like a handful of RL people who don't hate my face that plays blizz games. all thanks to the ex.

That's a killer skin.

@MadMAxJr I tried the desk stand for it and my keyboard was coming in way too loud. So I got a boom arm, then realized my desk has sloped edges and I can't actually clamp it

Ended up drilling a hole in my desk to mount the arm there

MadMAxJr

I bought a mic stand and the shock mount for the Yeti Blue.

The... Radius II shock mount.

Sterno

So far I don't think I need a shock mount but we'll see

GodEmperorDune

21:23

@TimStone yeah i heard about this kind of thing 15 years ago

certain hillsides and stuff can't handle lawnmowing or brush clearing equipment, so they use goats

Tim Stone

Yeah, but the logical conclusion to this is that Amazon delivers you goats via drone

GodEmperorDune

@Sterno TIL @sterno is kevin smith

MadMAxJr

Other way around.

GodEmperorDune

@TimStone and then picks them up later via drone again, after all you're only renting them

Tim Stone

All recent UFO sightings have been Amazon testing this technology

Elizer

21:26

@TimStone Makes sense.

GodEmperorDune

@TimStone hence the calls to the victims of alien crime hotline

so @TimStone when are you hiring the goats?

Frank

21:31

@Lazers2.0 @Elizer If you keep up asking questions like this and deleting them, it won't take long for the system to disable your ability to ask questions.

Elizer

@Frank Alright. I won't delete anymore questions.

DanmakuGrazer

I'd say it's better to ask good questions

GodEmperorDune

@DanmakuGrazer yes

Frank

@Elizer I'd also recommend putting in research before asking. We like to see effort. Many of your questions don't.

Elizer

@Frank Got it.

Frank

21:33

Yes, I know you're behind a school firewall. Doesn't matter. If we don't see effort, it's going to get downvoted.

GodEmperorDune

if you are not sure if the question is a good thing to ask, put it in a pastebin and ask us for guidance here in chat

Elizer

@GodEmperorDune What is the pastebin?

GodEmperorDune

@Elizer pastebin.com

its a place where you can put some text in if your question is too long for a single chat message

@10k'ers, if there's a flag on a message in another language which I don't speak, do I click "not sure" or just ignore it?

MBraedley

@Yuuki You're thinking of Flynn

@MBraedley Actually, I think I'm thinking of Yellen.

MBraedley

@Chippies I always click "Not Sure" because I honestly don't know if it's a valid flag

Chippies

21:49

@MBraedley I'm just not sure (lol) what "not sure" implies. Is it the same as basically ignoring or something more?

MBraedley

@Chippies AFAIK, yes

GodEmperorDune

@TimStone shit just got real

Tim Stone

Chippies

what difference is there between "not sure" and ignoring? besides the fact that "not sure" will get it off of my notifications

GodEmperorDune

also nice way to repay the guy who got you elected, mr. drumpf

Chippies

I'm guessing the notification thing is the main purpose of "not sure"
