@GodEmperorDune Watching under the current political climate may induce panic attacks
@fredley so i've heard :(
I mean in an ideal world wouldn't we just be doing communism but in the right, non-exploitative way?
Yes in an ideal world though we would have fully automated luxury gay space communism
4
@BlueBarren Communism works great in a post-scarcity world, where everyone has guaranteed access to all basic necessities
@Unionhawk why in space?
17:03
why not in space
@BlueBarren star trek refrance
@BlueBarren Probably not, unless you think an ideal world also contains ideal-ized humans
@GodEmperorDune oh I thought it was just because space is cool
Fuck this twat that is waiting in front of the docters office. All I hear is super loud bass.
@BlueBarren space is cool
17:03
SPPPPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
If I can I want to go to Mars with Elon
@fredley do want

Q: How do I control my Sonic game on Steam Powered

Chuck ConnellThe only control I have is run with an arrow key but I cannot jump anyone have any solutions

17:11
I just read the word horsepital in a fanfic and I literally cannot even
I think I've watched R&M 304 like 8 times now
So good
cc @fredley
@Unionhawk I'm not homosexual, but I am very interested in this fully automated luxury gay space communism and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Also it looks like SwiftKey has learnt the word horsepital
@Yuuki That's basically the Culture isn't it
@PrivatePansy pretty much
17:24
@fredley Does that thing have air jets so it can move itself in microgravity?
In an ideal world, I'd be working at a casino.
cc @GodEmperorDune @Wipqozn
@Yuuki i don't get it
> ideal world
> "I deal" world
@Yuuki oooooooooooh
working at a $CARDGAME table would've made more sense there

@Yuuki eyeroll
#WhyWeMustImpeachTrumpIn7Words "He's a bit of nobber innit mate?"
2
Oh shiiiiiiit
Is that an actual thing that's been voted on or just proposed?
It's not passed yet no
It doesn't even have a number
yet
Still, that's a pretty decent thing
@Unionhawk are they going to pass a resolution instead of impeaching?
17:43
This is not, I think, a thing they can legally impeach for
@KevinvanderVelden house reps make a lot of bills to score publicity points, most of them never go anywhere
user15026
Yeah, I don't think so
user15026
I suspect this is just a loud way of saying "heck no we do not support this thing" even if it doesn't actually gain traction
by all means, please eurosplain/canadasplain the US impeachment process to me
:D
As it turns out being a gigantic dumbass is not illegal in the united states, yes
user15026
17:44
@GodEmperorDune sorry :/
user15026
@Unionhawk if it were, things would be so different....
@Ash no worries
Everything happens so much
couldn't agree more
user15026
@Unionhawk this is the most accurate thing I've read all day
@GodEmperorDune I can't even explain how my own government works
17:48
To be fair, in america that is "Usually, it doesn't"
user15026
@WorldEngineer has been explaining US stuff to me when I ask, and he is a good explainer, but America still confuses me :P
user15026
(Reading Chernow's Hamilton book prompted many the questions)
user15026
@BlueBarren I can only explain certain bits of Canada and that's only because once friends spent a while teaching me how it worked using baking metaphors while we were out one night.
@BlueBarren this applies to most people tbh
they used to teach kids in school how government works but allegedly they stopped
@GodEmperorDune isn't the answer to "how government works", "it doesn't"? At least in the US right now
man, I need to write a script that opens the 3 devenv.exes I need with the right solutions pre-prepared
That's just devenv.exe file1; devenv.exe file2; devenv.exe file3
Just write a script that writes all the other scripts you need for you.
might as well at this point
17:55
@Beedrill ez import skynet; skynet.do_the_thing()
user15026
@GodEmperorDune afaik here in 10th grade we had (have? idk) a civics class that supposedly taught you stuff liek that but I don't know if we still do and I didn't really retain anything from it tbh
@MadScientist perhaps "how it is supposed to work" is a better wording
all right, little clunky to have it run devenv as admin but it works
18:17
@GodEmperorDune I mean I got taught but I kinda just forgot after I got taught
ugh why are we always doomed to repeat ourselves?
We're just going to get into the exact same situation we're in with cable companies now but with streaming services
everyone needs their own streaming service for some stupid reason and because it's too expensive to pay for all of them they're going to start being bundled together
because it all starts as being a service for the consumer
we're doomed to repeat ourselves unless we build monuments to cable execs
I think that's how it works
I was hoping we could just make them walk the plank
no the only way to avoid repeating history is to venerate the bad parts of it in public spaces
Honestly cable companies are too backwards to realize this is the path streaming service are going down. They're first going try and get us to VHS tapes again before they realize people don't want cable anymore
So we're probably going to see someone new rise up from the ashes and offer this service first
Yeah, people don't want cable
just a series of subscriptions to different television show havers
different channels of television show havers, if you will
this is a dumb joke @uni you're really doing "having netflix hulu and hbo now is exactly like having cable"
18:38
that's really what it is though
the only two differences are content deliver (internet instead of cable) and when you're watching (the watch when you want vs a schedule)
but cable companies are more interested in suing and killing as many people/competition as possible over providing a competitive service

Q: Where to use Curly's auto-gyrotheodolite?

user195135I'm currently doing Curly's Treasure quest. I just got this item and its quite obviously in the same vein as the compass where I have to use it somewhere and then I will be lead to the next piece of the puzzle. However, the compass gave obvious hints where, as far as I can tell, this one gives no...

user15026
If I could live in a world where someone would let me pay for Food Network and like...maybe 1 or 2 more channels I would
user15026
but noooope
user15026
(All I want is my food competition shows come on people)
@Ash Right?
The problem with that is that the less popular networks would get shut down :(
user15026
18:49
I know but I just really miss Food Network
man, I'm watching a documentary on anonymous and project chanology and it makes me wonder: when did 4chan go down
*downhill
yeah no it was always pretty terrible but when did it stop making occasional good stuff
user15026
I was going to say, 4chan had a hill to go down?
It seems like some people on arqade do not like west of loathing.
user15026
@Dragonrage how can they not?
@Ash idk, but most questions for west of loathing have downvotes.
18:57
I don't have any interest in it at all! I don't like it or dislike it because I know next to nothing about it.
user15026
@Dragonrage weird.
user15026
@Beedrill That's fair! :)
user15026
I'm having fun with it but I also love Kingdom of Loathing so I kinda expected to.
Kingdom of Loathing didn't hold my interest. I don't remember much about it.
I have trouble with anything that doesn't take itself seriously.
user15026
Ah, and KoL and WoL really, really don't take anything seriously
18:59
I didn't like Discworld, for example.
There has only been one part of WoL I haven't liked.
Well there are comedy/satire pieces I do like, so I don't know if "serious" is the right word.
But throwing a random spaghetti and meatballs monster into a world that's so far been full of rats as enemies is a big turn-off for me.
@Beedrill how about whipping demon cows with snakes?
@Dragonrage I suppose it depends on the context, if there's a serious in-world explanation for why that action is a thing.
I guess I don't like when works sacrifice coherence for the sake of a joke.
Or for "being random".
Well the demon cows are attacking and you're first weapon is your grandmother's snakes.
user15026
19:02
@Dragonrage Snake Oiler?
@Ash ye
I hate when works break their own rules. I couldn't finish the first WoT book the first time I tried it because after 400 pages of Rand as the only narrator, it switched to I think Mat for like 5 pages, then back to Rand.
Either establish the book as a multi-POV from the beginning or don't do that.
user15026
I just got bored when I tried to read WoT
Well that too. That's why I gave up when I went back and re-read the first book knowing that it's multi-POV from the outset.
alright I'm going to have to stop taking this show seriously because it mentioned pool's closed and didn't even mention why it started, it's making weird, random assumptions etc... but this guy just said "this guy was a neo-nazi, you can't do that in modern society, you're not allowed to do that" which again puts me on the "where did they go even more downhill and went all white supremacists" mood
19:04
I got partly through book 5 and I just couldn't stand the thought of reading anything, even non-WoT things, because WoT had convinced me that all reading was a chore.
user15026
@Beedrill Yuck, that's the worst thing that a book can do :(
user15026
@Avery welcome to people trying to explain internet subgroups to wider audiences
user15026
it never fares well
Yeah, that's why I make a conscious effort to be ok with giving up books half-way through now.
If I'm just not liking it, there's no reason to force myself to finish. There's plenty to read.
user15026
This is something I am still struggling with
19:19
@Ash Someday in the far future - a documentary about the The Bridge: "And then The Turtle shared shared a picture of the socks it wore. Do turtles even wear socks? No, no - we don't need to see the pictu--- Oh god!"
@Beedrill damn you. Swarm sim is still going here.
I'm currently up to 50 hive queens.
I can build one of those
I can build a couple hundred, but doing so would crash my income completely
19:37
@Beedrill did you read early Discworld books like the ones with Rincewind? Some later ones like a few of the Vimes series do get more serious. I didn't really like the first two Discworld books either, because they were too random and without a real plot. A decade later or so I started reading almost all of the later Discworld books
user15026
I find I like the Watch books in Discworld the best out of any of them
Night Watch is a great book, but you have to know the previous ones of the series for this one
Thief of Time and Going Postal are my favorite non-Watch Discworld books
user15026
I liked the Tiffany Aching books as well
user15026
@TrentHawkins yeah, exactly, we'd horrify everyone

Q: Does cauterize reduce all types of heal?

FabichFrom the description of the cauterize item : Your Weapon shots reduce the effect of healing on your target by 30%/60%/90% for 1.5s I know it reduces the heal from other player abilities, but does it reduce all kind of heals ? Here are all the sources of heal I could think about, does anyone...

19:44
The Tiffanny Aching books also get surprisingly serious at times, especially as they're the childrens books in the series
I suddenly feel the urge to read a random Discworld book right now
FAKE NEWS DNA TESTS
basically
their cognitive bias says 100% western european (caucasian) (white af) so when that number is less than a hundred...
I should get a dna test but I really really don't care about who my ancestors are
saaaaaaaaaaaame
my grandparents were born in america
and I do not really care enough to find out past that
that's a nonzero amount of effort
user15026
20:00
I just don't get what it would tell me that would actually matter
my parents, born here, grandparents, also here, grandgrand parents were also here, but grandgrandgrandparents were in some country in Europe I don't remember the name of under some policy of ottoman empire which is basically "captured some place? move random turks there, and move random places from there to turkish majority area" to prevent riots and secession attempts. It worked.
but yeah, dna test wouldn't matter but would still be fun, probably.
not worth money, though.
tbh it'd prob just give you "eastern european/middle east"
roughly
@MadScientist Yes, I tried reading early ones. I also don't like only reading bits and pieces of a series though. If it's not telling a coherent story throughout I can't build up the investment. I will consider trying a later book from this one though, once I run out of other things to read.
@Beedrill Discworld is really multiple almost independent series. So you're not really missing anything by starting a later series, as long as you read that one from the start.
20:18
Ok, will remember that. No room in the queue now though.
a DNA test for me would allow me to figure out how much native american ancestry i have. and if it is over a certain amount, it is helpful
@Dragonrage yeah i got hit with that yesterday, it was weird
i should write up my explanation for the reboot hill thing
oh hey
rider finally left EAP
wonder if my license covers it
It does \o/
lmao jack posobiec and precisely 7 other people are protesting at a lenin statue
if i start a new game, does it prevent me from using my old character anymore?
20:28
@Dragonrage nope
i haven't tested how many character slots you get but it's probably a lot, knowing asymmetric
ok cool, cuz i have a plus 20 to all stats buff
plus a +46 to myst
as well as a +6 to all stats and +30 max hp
so i dont want to die and lose all the stats just to complete missions that i have to wait another day for
also, i just found a nice el vibrato crown
grats, i think thats an achievement
what is an alt tech
you know the alt ri-- is stabbed
I assume it's actually just
"don't use google bc reasons use yahoo instead"
prob
oh duckduckgo
whatever
I found one decent mention from april 2016
it's basically "reee sjw tech companies", it seems
20:36
god dammit my first message was basically right
but yeah what the hell it's recommending brave browser over firefox
brave over firefox
ignores mozilla's years and years of support of internet freedom THIS BRAWSER SAYS ITS PROTECTING PRIVACY LETS USE IT
all mainstream services are bad
I mean seriously is this an advertisement for google?
@Avery more like a bruh-wser
to shame me into using google products by showing other people who avoid their services
20:39
browser more like bowser lololololololol
hides her google pictures account but it's so convenient
but yeah, honestly, all out running away from a company is a bad idea.
i wanted to do google pictures but my wife doesn't so
oh is this their manifestbro boycott?
i hope they're all using iphones
nope, they're using paranoidandroid or smth
you can't protest capitalism with an iphone
wait no that's a different group
using android to boycott google
thinkingface
20:43
I will now go out and use bitcoin to pay for my food on bitcoin cash wallet running on my decade old lenovo with libreboot and qubes
@GodEmperorDune I mean paranoidandroid, aosp, lineage and many many other roms come without gapps
@Yuuki Nicely done
Someone on r+m staff owns the following:
@RickandMorty I'm living for his hoodie https://t.co/0z1g3gBfsX
damn i want some of that sauce
damn I want some of that hair
but really getting such a bright pink to stick on such a dark colored hair is a pain
20:48
@Avery you have to dye it white first iirc
user15026
@Avery Without bleaching it first, yeah, it's not going to stick
@GodEmperorDune you'd need to bleach first, no?
user15026
and even bleached, pinks are hard to keep bright
user15026
(not as hard as blues, blues are the worst)
user15026
(I spent a few years with all sorts of bright hair colours)
20:49
@Avery yeah that's what i meant
I really want pink or blue but both are kinda hard to pull off and everything
user15026
Pinks do last more than blues
user15026
(oh hey when I get my new passport, I won't have pink hair in it anymore :P)
What about the monument to X thing which was also bad? ok, take that down too
user15026
Also, I laugh because they act like each of those are a magical unique piece of history but apparently they were like...effectively mass marketed
20:54
Also this reply:
> No one. Wants. To erase him. From history. Museum, not pedestal.
@Ash yep
pro-tip: if you think there exists any human that is 100% right and never did anything wrong you are probably not looking hard enough
I mean, do humans that lived for 3 seconds count?
user15026
@GodEmperorDune well yes
user15026
but also like...not every person needs to be called out and publicly shamed for every single thing they have ever done either no matter how minor
@Ash this is also true
20:56
Love. Not hate. https://t.co/5xFpvHTuI2
user15026
(like I am all for taking this junk down but I am more referring to the weird as fuck toxic call out culture of things like Tumblr)
:thinking:
i was going more for historical figures that are elevated as infallible, not like "you misgendered someone once"
Also I really should get hair dye done before picture day
user15026
@GodEmperorDune I figured, but it's one of those things that just makes me a crazy person

Q: No Man's Sky - Exocraft Tech bug

OwlManSo i'm doing the Exocraft Tech missions and you have to make the three Geobays; Roamer, Nomad and Colossus - in that order. But somehow I managed to build the Colossus before the Nomad Geobay and now anytime I construct the Nomad bay it doesn't register. Anyone else having this problem or just ...

user15026
Also, half the time no one knows or cares about these statues until we go "hey this person was gross" then all of a sudden people are like my historyyyyyy when like 5 min before that it was just a junk of stuff birds poop on
21:22
Think of the birds though
Would you rather them poop on my car than a Jim Crow era mass produced statue?
I'm confused
user15026
@Wipqozn Every time I see this it delights me
22:09
@GodEmperorDune have you used all the pardners yet?
also, i thought it was fitting to name my crazy horse badp
22:24
Starting to feel a little one sided over here https://t.co/alu40GKy0U
feinberg is great
@Dragonrage oh dan
I should get a crazy horse and name it 2016 so I can say "I want to get off 2016's crazy/wild ride"
@Dragonrage not finished with all of them
i finished with susie and have one with doc and one with gary partway through
doc seems kinda OP
user15026
@Avery I feel like I am missing context here.
especially once she gets the skelly instakill
user15026
@GodEmperorDune I've only played with the Doc but that skeleton instakill is pretty OP
yeah I'm very happy that I went with doc
22:34
if you want to do hard mode take doc
@Ash it's scaramucci
user15026
I've basically one-shotted bosses with it <.<
what are susie's abilities?
@Ash she is asking questions to anthony scaramucci, the guy who was white house communications director for less than 2 weeks
and gary's?
22:34
the guy who got fired after 10 days in office, after the, not so sfw comment
he is not responding
Sonic Mania is pretty good but the boss designs are so bad.
user15026
@TheMattbat999 context?
I played one zone and the boss was so stupid I don't even want to keep playing.
22:34
@Dragonrage susie levels up by killing cow unguliths
she has a sniper rifle that hits one target
I should go back to WoL.
also she can put up cover and has a one round stun
i don't remember if the stun is once per combat or reusable
honestly everything about her is OP, the doc I mean
22:35
gary levels up by feeding him an item
the shoot everyone thing really really comes in handy
every level he gets, he attacks once more per round
user15026
@Avery Yes it does :D
his abilities are to summon another goblin on your side
I'd honestly be happier if the game didn't instafail when main character died though
22:36
and i think a group debuff? i haven't used that
@Avery git gud
I lost fights with less than 10hp on one enemy, something I could take off with doctor instantly
not much of a dying penalty
user15026
The Wahammer40k themed fights are SUPER HARD
user15026
or maybe I am just really bad at being a cow
which ones?
22:37
@Ash i beat them all :D
user15026
@GodEmperorDune how? I can't beat any of them
the secret is to take out the healers and or damage dealers first
@Ash, I learned how to make a ring out of a quarter dollar.
user15026
@GodEmperorDune I try that, but I am just not good :P
you can see everyone's stats before you attack
22:37
@GodEmperorDune are those the ones at the fort?
user15026
@TheMattbat999 That might have been good to explain when you posted otherwise I am just like "what am I seeing"
i was able to beat them
@Dragonrage yeah
user15026
I suck
user15026
but generally my approach is to hit things and hit them hard, I am bad at strategy
user15026
22:38
I am just like "I WILL SMACK YOU TIL I CAN SMACK NO MORE"
@Ash oh, those are the ones with the uh, on one castle or something with 4-5 people around a table?
I was waiting for the pic to uplad first, but I waited too long
user15026
@Avery yeah, where you have the conversation about the game and you say about your brother's set not including cows (iirc)
@Avery yeah
@Ash if you post a question, i can post an answer how i beat them
22:39
@Ash you can try reading the books inside the tent, i dunno if that gives you a bonus
oh, cool.
I beat them but the fourth one was hard
came up with a weird trick that took like 15 rounds or whatever, but it worked
@Avery i don't remember which one it was, but one i had to do like 10 times until i got it
the 4th one requires a specific thing to happen, if it doesnt happen, you have to try again
is 4th the one with the guys that feed you AP back?
22:40
yeah
2x AP
user15026
Maybe I will poke at it more tonight
the ones before feed too, but one AP IIRC
user15026
do you get anything for doing it all?
yeah
you do get something, but I'm not sure what
@Ash some army guys or little guns or something
if its little guns, you can use it to move the shoemaker to dirtwater
if army guys, you can use it to deploy the alldead fort soldiers
in either case, it doesn't have an impact on the main questline
22:42
iirc you can get both
though depending on where you send the soldiers, it effects the ending
@Dragonrage yeah i didn't mean to say you have to choose between these, more that i don't remember which one you get
there are also the sugar guns on a shelf in that fort
maybe i'm thinking of the sugar guns
can you do anything with the cannon ball you find in fort cowardice?
@Dragonrage yes
how much spoilers do you want?
22:49
well, ive played through pretty much the whole game besides some of the side quests
so spoilers are fine for me, but others might not want them
there is a place that was bombed by another fort
i know the place
in that place, a sealed door is still standing
BAHAHAHAH look at Fox News' @MelissaAFrancis crying because her co-host wouldn't agree that there were good Nazis. https://t.co/EI4auUAXbG
yea, i stuck a flare there
22:50
It's possible that I might be slightly terrible for laughing this hard at this clip
can you go to said fort and blow open the door?
so the next 2 things to do is to learn how to fire cannons
and do artillery math
and then go to the fort that was bombarding it and use your cannonball to blow it open
ah, ok. i shall have to go back to my other character and do that
i don't remember where you learn how to aim the cannon
@Unionhawk i am terrible too then
also the ONE black panelist has to console her wtf
22:54
@GodEmperorDune one of 2
@Unionhawk ah yes i didn't see him speak duringthe clip, you're right

Q: How can I test input lag for my keyboard controller Super Smash Bros Melee dolphin?

Rice BallsI am fairly new to the melee scene, even more so to dolphin. My question is, using a keyboard controller, is there anything I can do to test the input lag, and, if there is any, to reduce it? Thank you!

user15026
@Unionhawk See I kinda get it but at the same time I'm like "that's such a classic deflection thing, where you cry and make it all about people pitying your pain around a thing"
I saw a video by one of the nazis present who was crying because he was afraid he was going to be arrested.
Absolute scum
22:59
I'm surprised by the amount of content in WoL
