8:00 PM
@TheMattbat999 yeah Matt?
 
@BlueBarren but do you know my last name?
 
@TheMattbat999 ... bat?
 
@BlueBarren no
 
@TheMattbat999 darn, bat999?
 
8:01 PM
@BlueBarren (If you get this right, I will dial 911 if you get it within your next 3 guesses) no
 
911 should be reserved to emergencies, calling your local PD's non-emergency line might be a better idea.
 
@BlueBarren guess again
 
I'm going to hazard a guess here and go with "Shingledecker".
 
@Avery PD? I don't think there is one near here
 
@TheMattbat999 You don't have any police?
 
8:03 PM
@TheMattbat999 Thomspon
 
@Ronan oh. I thought that sas something else. No we have police
@BlueBarren that is a gun, not my last name (good try, thought)
@Yuuki no, but close♤ (♤ equals your way off)
 
It's actually a last name as well
 
@TheMattbat999 Damon
 
Mathews
 
@TheMattbat999 In that case, "Hewmcconnaughey".
 
8:06 PM
@RedRiderX 😏
 
@RedRiderX no
@Yuuki no.
@Ronan no
 
@TheMattbat999 can you give tips
 
@Avery starts with a "W"
 
@TheMattbat999 "Hematics".
@Avery I'd rather avoid actually guessing his name.
 
Funny how someone who was so adamant about not revealing their last name 10 minutes ago now wants others to guess it
:THINKFACE:
 
8:07 PM
@Yuuki sounds like a medicine. No
 
@TheMattbat999 Say it aloud.
"Matt Hematics".

Q: Mine craft LAN server trouble

Drell LockedenI am having problems with starting up a LAN server, I do the open LAN in game and try connecting my friends laptop using the same network to my server but it cannot be found. I open the CMD on my computer and trying pinging my pc to her laptop but it wont connect or detect ether other. my router ...

 
@Yuuki why are you like this?
 
@DanmakuGrazer ....
 
8:09 PM
@TheMattbat999 See the contradiction this time?
 
@DanmakuGrazer no
 
Thought so.
 
@BlueBarren Some say a witch cursed him
Others say it was a demon, it's definitely a curse of some kind though
 
oh god more rain.
 
@Ronan witch cursed him?
 
8:11 PM
@RedRiderX Yes.
 
@DanmakuGrazer oh well
 
@Ronan Which witch? A sand witch?
 
/flag
 
Wahlberg
 
what's going on anyways
 
8:13 PM
@Yuuki That's it, I'm turning this spaceship around, into a star
 
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
 
does the scale going to 20 inches reflect recent occurances?
 
wow I hate myself
 
@Unionhawk Yes.
They actually added those colors because of Harvey.
 
:cool:
 
8:15 PM
@Yuuki New colours?
 
I should make the userscript parse emoji texts
 
@Unionhawk most will play at 10 but these ones go to 20
 
I understood that reference
 
@Ronan The NWS added additional colors to their rain displays because of the amount of rain that fell during Harvey, IIRC.
 
good
 
8:16 PM
@Yuuki But the colours existed before?
 
/delete Ronan
 
you're all dum
obviously apple invented colors
 
Apple invented 20 inches of accumulated rainfall
 
Fine... I am Matthew Wil.... static
 
8:19 PM
I haven't watched Suits in forever.
@TheMattbat999 You have italics in your last name?
I didn't think government documents supported Markdown.
 
@Yuuki ugggh. I am Matthew Wilson
 
@TheMattbat999 I know someone named Wilson. He took a plane trip over the Pacific and I never heard from him again.
 
IS IT STRIP OR IS IT TRIM? WHO KNOWS?
 
@fredley The other one to the one you tried
 
8:22 PM
@Yuuki that sucks. Either way, you will never find me!
 
Wait
Hold on
Matt Whateveryoujustsaid->Matt Damon->Jason Bourne
mother of god
it's all connected
 
@Unionhawk what?
 
IT'S ALL A CIA PENTAGON DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE EXECUTIVE BRANCH CONSPIRACY
 
Does that mean I am a 007? Or
 
@Unionhawk JESUS CHRIST, IT'S JASON BOURNE.
 
8:24 PM
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT TREADSTONE
 
@Unionhawk all of it, though if I told you, I would have to kill you
 
@Unionhawk I was going to do this joke actually but decided not to
 
It's a good joke you're missing out
I don't know how much you're missing out
 
@Unionhawk I do
 
I went for the low hanging spinal tap fruit instead sorry
 
8:26 PM
But it's a nonzero amount
It might even be nonnegative!
 
@TheMattbat999 It's all true? The Force? The Jedi?

Q: Are event accessory items unique, or can we use 2 of the same accessory?

AlokIn the event The Shadow Lord Invades, there is a Shantotto-specific accessory called the Golden Hairpin. Since our tiny sorc has 2 accessory slots like everyone else, does this mean I can craft 2 hairpins given enough materials, and if equipping them onto the same character will their effects sta...

 
@Yuuki Jedi-Yes. Force-Jesus got bored and teesed the herion smoking Jedi
 
@TheMattbat999 Jesus Christ?
(It's Jason Bourne.)
 
8:28 PM
@Yuuki yes
We proved he lived and did all the stuff in the bible, too
 
The fact that someone created /r/itsjasonbourne in response to /r/jesuschristreddit is perhaps my favorite thing.
 
@Yuuki eh... ok
 
@Yuuki is that line newest?
 
@Unionhawk ?
 
@Yuuki I'm just watching it now. On season one. I love it!
 
8:30 PM
I've watched enough of the original trilogy to recognize "oh my god it's jason bourne" but haven't seen the latest film
 
Can't take Megan Markle seriously though
All the tabloids are calling her a ho but tbf what do they know
 
Just got a call from Trump. He needs another loan
 
Ah, yes, it is the 2016 film
 
@cazc_941 almost as much as my goat does
 
Hue
Please don't post pictures again
But hue
 
8:32 PM
lol I sent this and this to a friend and now they're downloading snapchat
 
Porkchat drop incoming
As well as sorting out the emoji feature (emoji replies now work, margin issues fixed), there's a new feature: hovering over image links in the starred list will make a popout for more immediate lols.
 
@fredley 15:32... I knew you were going to say that. Your right on time
 
@fredley did you fix that message buttons drop when hovering over a message with an embedded image?
 
@Avery I don't get it
 
@GodEmperorDune status: norepro
so it's probably fixed?
 
8:35 PM
@fredley you sent a picture with repro
 
oooh, I did introduce a nice bug tho
 
@fredley Oh right, there's a bug where a new flame icon gets added for each edit to a post
 
brb
@Ronan TOO LATE
 
 
@Yuuki why?
 
8:36 PM
@cazc_941 well snapchat 1) can even make the devil himself look cuter 2) allows you to make memes out of 2014 right on your phone
 
@fredley Meh
 
@Yuuki jah
 
@TheMattbat999 we are using @fredley's plugin and found a bug that he is denying
 
@GodEmperorDune oh... lets impeach him and make someone else in charge of it
 
test
 
8:38 PM
Impeach fredley?
 
@TheMattbat999 nah i don't wanna code it
 
@cazc_941 yes
 
Hue
 
@fredley does good work, there is just some occasional trolling
 
@GodEmperorDune Very very occasional
 
8:39 PM
@GodEmperorDune well, you don't have to run in the election
 
also he already lost his arqade modship
@fredley its always memorable when it happens
 
@GodEmperorDune it is all a conspiracy... I think
 
@GodEmperorDune Porkchat has been moved to Android Enthusiasts.
 
@TheMattbat999 best thing about open source? Anyone can hardfork his extension.
no need for impeaching
 
Remember when I spent more than no time confirming that Porkchat 1.0 (or never friday 1.0) contained code that replaced all links with kfv on fridays
that was fun
 
8:42 PM
@Avery oh.... ok.....
 
oh hey
I found a bug or a feature on stack's desktop notifications
 
@Avery if you try to hardfork a diamond porkchop, i think you break your utensil
 
@Unionhawk @fredley leaving Friday Easter eggs in his code is bridge tradition
 
@Avery Yeah it shows a mod abuser as the sender of a notif
 
I got a notification for that edit and it was attributed to fredley
 
8:44 PM
we barely ever troll with Friday anymore
 
It also updates them on the users list
idk or care if that's a bug
 
@GodEmperorDune Gen 1 friday trolls were way more original
4
 
Apple invented Friday trolls
 
New colours!
 
ok I think I fixed multiburning
 
8:46 PM
Hmm... do things that aren't political in and of themselves but involve political figures belong in TIF?
 
Thankyou for not noticing me edit all your posts to test
 
@GodEmperorDune true
 
@fredley kwaaaaaaaaaaaa
 
@fredley I mean I noticed
3 mins ago, by Unionhawk
It also updates them on the users list
 
we all noticed
 
8:47 PM
@Yuuki That is indeed a question! CAn you provide a concrete example? (feel free to post it in TIF instead)
 
@Unionhawk also removes update on users list
 
@Yuuki TIF
 
so if a mod removes a post you can just check user list to see who to blame
 
@Yuuki i'd put that in TIF
 
Oh hey, new bug found.
 
8:48 PM
rule of thumb: if the image/article you want to link contains the word 'Trump', it probably belongs in TIF
 
 
@Yuuki Click PC logo, what version?
 
@Yuuki hahahahahahahahahahahaha
 
1 message moved to This Is Fine
 
@fredley yep
 
8:50 PM
@fredley "Monster Hunter: World Trumps Previous Entries In Sales"
 
@Yuuki That's why it's a rule of thumb you idiot
2
 
@fredley rule of thumb has a sexist origin story
 
user15026
Okay, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is a pretentious mess of a book. I give up.
 
@GodEmperorDune [ citation needed ]
 
@GodEmperorDune You're referring to the wife beating thing, right? I think that's just a myth
 
8:51 PM
"Trump Trumps Trump Trumping Trumps On Trump With Trumps" (Donald Trump runs a special family members episode of The Apprentice and Ivanka beats Donald Jr. who beats Eric)
 
@Yuuki ಠ_ಠ
 
> It is often claimed that the term rule of thumb is derived from a law that limited the maximum thickness of a stick with which it was permissible for a man to beat his wife.[5][7] English common law before the reign of Charles II permitted a man to give his wife "moderate correction", but no "rule of thumb" (whether called by this name or not) has ever been the law in England.[2][8][d]
damn it @Ash
now you made it look like I just copied your link
I mean I did, but only before you posted it
 
cursed image, cc: @Wipqozn, @GodEmperorDune
 
Always trying to undermine me
> The earliest known citation comes from J. Durham’s Heaven upon Earth, 1685, ii. 217: "Many profest Christians are like to foolish builders, who build by guess, and by rule of thumb."
 
8:54 PM
@Ash fiiiiiiiiine
 
@GodEmperorDune sexism denied
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune A lot of things have gross histories, we don't need extras ;)
 
@Ash on the topic of books that aren't pretentious messes, I just finished The Fifth Season and it was great
A few chapters into The Obelisk Gate now
 
user15026
@ToxicFrog Good to know! I should grab it from the Library
 
user15026
I am going to start Sourdough instead because possibly sentient bread sounds more fun than pretentious dude being pretentious
 
8:57 PM
I can't wait for RPG night this week. For once it is not a D&D game.
 
@MadMAxJr Oh, are you going to the firing range?
 
Ah, no.
 
I don't think I know one that's rated for explosives.
 
Cats of Catthulhu.
 
I think I've found the solution to Facebook
 
8:58 PM
As cats, stop otherworldly horrors.
 
@fredley Is it don't?
 
Cat logic is very, very different from people logic.
 
Mmmmm sourdough
 
The problem being that it's an addictive sadness algorithm, that I am compelled to use because it is the primary means of communication with some friends
Also it's the defacto event organisation platform
However, I've worked out that I can unfollow everyone, and get a blank newsfeed forever
It's wonderful
My entire facebook feed

Q: How do I solve The resonant brown tadpole room

rarHow do I solve The resonant brown tadpole room. I see the thing with the mouth, but can't interact with it.

 
user15026
9:00 PM
@MadMAxJr oh, is that the one you were telling about in RPG chat the other day because it sounds amazing
 
I still have my friends, I can still go to their pages and see stuff, but I don't get an endlessly scrolling feed of algorithmically-ordered whatever every time I visit
 
@fredley brilliant
 
@GodEmperorDune It only takes ~10 minutes too, I'd recommend it
 
that would require logging into facebook though
 
I froze my account
 
9:05 PM
@Avery i just ignore it
@fredley oh man informed consent for A/B testing?
 
facebook gets angry when you use something other than your legal name and I'd rather get rid of said name so
 
man i remember back when facebook didn't care about legal names
i was friends with all sort of video game characters
it was great
 
I hate everything that requires full legal names
 
then they deleted all the obviously fake accounts and left just the ones with stock image photos for russian spambots
 
outside legal contexts ofc
 
9:07 PM
@Avery i mean i understand it for like financial things and stuff but on a site that's for fun, 100% agree
 
because when you start enforcing that they ask for legal documentation etc and it just gets worse and worse
like why do I need to give facebook a picture of my ID etc
 
Oh right it's James spader
 
@Wipqozn wat
 
@GodEmperorDune the voice actor
It's James spader
 
@Wipqozn he does live action too
 
9:09 PM
@GodEmperorDune I know, I meant he's the voice actor for this character
 
@Wipqozn which character?
 
@GodEmperorDune the character who was just talking in the game I'm playing
 
@Wipqozn ಠ_ಠ
 
@GodEmperorDune you're welcome
 
@Avery I have never had my legal name on FB and it was never an issue
but it's much easier to get a fake name when registering than it is to get a namechange
 
9:22 PM
@Chippies A number of friends got zucked (account freeze with ID image requirement) after changing names, so yeah, your second message is probs accurate.
also another problem is I don't really want all these old friends and relatives to message me going "hey what's with the name"
 
easier to just create a new account
 
easier to just freeze facebook
I don't use it anyways
 
I mean, if that's an easy option then sure
@Avery why freeze it if you don't use it?
if you don't want it, just delete it
if you want it, why freeze it?
 
hahaha
there's no way to delete your account
the most you can do is freezing
and random stuff tend to go wrong when your oauth account gets removed so keeping it frozen is like "delete but not delete"
 
@Avery pretty sure there was an option for that (at least a long time ago). It takes like 30 days or something though? Not 100% sure actually...
 
9:25 PM
facebook never lets your data go anyways
 
@Chippies seems to be a good bit of work to delete your account
 
@Ash Yes it is. A very simple to play RPG because cats don't do math and numbers are not allowed on your cat sheet.
 
@TheMattbat999 considering how integrated facebook accounts are these days, it's a good thing it is
if you could just delete it on an impulse decision, it's likely that you would regret it
 
ugh
why does opening facebook help require a login
 
9:30 PM
@Avery I just opened it in incognito tab and it didn't ask to log in
sure, the option is up there, but it seems fully functional without logging in
 
not for me.
Whatever, unfreezed it to download my archive
 
are you talking about the delete account help link in the article or literally facebook.com/help ?
 
@Chippies former
 
@Avery it's not really a "help" page, it's the account deletion page
 
yeah I saw
 
9:33 PM
can't delete an account if you're not logged in
 
@Wipqozn nice
 
user15026
9:55 PM
@MadMAxJr Which I love :D
 
Cats have an amusing relationship with humanity in the story guidelines. The purpose of humans is to make the world more comfortable for cats.
 
@MadMAxJr probably

Q: What RUINS a game?

Kai P.What aspects of a game causes players to dislike it, and why? I'm asking out of curiosity mainly. from what I've seen, the price is a large motivator for the success or failure of a game.

 
@Lazers2.0 puts on jim sterling voice "triple a"
 
11:09 PM
@Ash I don't. We found a stray cat, but my dog (died a while back of age) got to it first and murderized it

Q: Can secret holes be found during Championship or Timed Mode?

Steven VascellaroEach course in OK Golf includes two secret holes which unlock a hidden bonus level for use in free play. Sinking the ball in a secret hole will end the current hole without a score, and teleports the player to a new level. Do these secret holes appear during Championship and Timed Mode? Or can t...

 
@Ash i think you recommended some mobile game yesterday in here? I can't remember what though.
 
@Avery who is jim sterling?
 
@TheMattbat999 this guy
 
user15026
@Arperum I did! Pocket Mine 3. It's fun. :)
 
11:13 PM
also shoutout to DDG for showing me jim holding the bat from SR3 when I have safe search set to moderate
 
user15026
@TheMattbat999 mmmmmkay
 
@Ash it had blue eyes, too. It was cute, but alas, it got chewed on
@Avery he looks like an evil biker
 
@Avery I read this in his Skeletor voice. Is that the intended reading tone?
 
@Fluttershy yes
 
@Avery Nailed it.
In other news, I am super excited for the television adaptation of Good Omens. They pretty much nailed the casting for Crowley and Aziraphale.
 
11:19 PM
@Fluttershy jim scarred me so much that everything that is basically "<verb> it" that is associated with him makes me remember a specific clip from one of his videos
 
@Avery Is this a good thing, or a bad thing?
 
@Fluttershy I'm not sure honestly
though I can't look at roadhog the same way anymore.
so... bad?
 
Gotcha.
 
Day two of gym!
 
user15026
@SaintWacko huzzah!

Q: Shantotto equipment - 2 hairpins or the staff?

AlokBoth her accessories and weapon require Achromatic Blossoms, but I don't have enough to craft 2x Golden Hairpins and an Iridal Staff. If I can't get enough by the end of the event, what is a higher priority to obtain for her?

 
And someone else decided to start joining me so now I have what LadyWacko calls an accountabilibuddy
 
user15026
@SaintWacko hahaha until a few weeks ago I was in the same boat, and now I am doing strength training with a trainer. I love it because yay strength but oh god squats and such are so rough
 
user15026
@SaintWacko yessss good
 
user15026
Part of the reason I use a trainer is a) so I learn to lift safely and b) paying someone means I have to get out of bed and do it
 
11:26 PM
@SaintWacko I would not last through 10 minutes of gym
 
@TheMattbat999 If I can, you definitely could
 
@SaintWacko Congrats! :D
 
I'm a software developer
I get zero exercise
 
I need to get back on my bike, but I've been sick for the last week. :(
 
user15026
@TheMattbat999 I'm a 300 pound human and I manage.
 
11:28 PM
I should do some more exercise.
 
@SaintWacko no. My calfs were not made for any sort intense exercise
 
My watch is impressed if I take 4000 steps in a day
Very impressed
 
@TheMattbat999 Calf muscles can be built up.
 
@SaintWacko fite me 968 steps yesterdau
 
user15026
@SaintWacko I average about 5000 steps
 
user15026
11:29 PM
@TheMattbat999 start small!
 
though I average ~1500
 
I should really invest in a fitbit or something. I have no idea how many steps I take in a day...
 
user15026
(Trust me, I am LITERALLY learning how to walk as part of my training because I walk ALL WRONG)
 
@Fluttershy no. I cramp after jogging for like 30 seconds
 
user15026
@Fluttershy I like my fitbit, it's a good way to get me moving because I like hitting my goal
 
user15026
11:30 PM
@TheMattbat999 oh, that's fixable
 
also ugh I can't even like manage to lift like 15kgs anymore
 
user15026
I have similar issues and I have a workout built around dealing with that
 
@Ash really?
@Avery how many pounds is that?
 
33
 
user15026
@TheMattbat999 Yep! It will take work and you will likely hate it but it's doable
 
11:32 PM
@TheMattbat999 Oh yeah, it's definitely fixable. Before I joined the military, I couldn't run to save my life. Afterward, I was able to run two miles in 14 minutes.
 
user15026
@Avery hey, I'm starting my deadlifts and benchpresses with empty bars
 
user15026
(I mean it's still 45 lb but still)
 
@Avery huh. I could lift 50lbs pretty easy (I mean, I did that with feed bags, but still)
 
well I could do like 40 but not working out and not going out too much and other factors really tanked it down
 
@Fluttershy I didn't know you were military. US or.... what (not sure where you are)
 
11:34 PM
I had to split my orders into two and had to carry one to house then come back to grab the other bag a week ago and it was unfun.

robutIn the credits sequence for : As for you? After your adventure you settled in Frisco and bought a very long, very narrow house. You filled it with souvenirs of your exploits, and started an antique hatrack collection. Which hat belongs on the fourth hatrack ?

@Yuuki Sort of.
