@agent86 Also, the Pixeljunk games are very fun. Pixeljunk Monsters is a tower defense game with co-op. Pixeljunk Eden is a kind of... trippyish music sorta-kinda-but-not-really platformer. Pixeljunk Shooter is a multi-directional shooter where you go through a bunch of terrain and save scientists, and Pixejunk Sidescroller is a more traditional shmup but I haven't played that one yet.

@FAE Are there PJ games for Vita yet?

FAE

Apr 30 at 23:16, by FAE

@agent86 Pixeljunk Racers is okay, kind of a somewhat arcade-y puzzle racer, similar to Super Laser Racer in some respects if you've played that. Probably the weakest of the bunch, IMO.

@JohnoBoy I do not think so. :(

JohnoBoy

I played PJ Monsters, Eden and the two shooters

FAE

Ah :D

JohnoBoy

The latter were my favs

FAE

There is Pixeljunk Sidescroller now, which is more of a traditional sidescrolling shmup

JohnoBoy

1:08 PM

Monster was great when playing co-op, but solo was too hard

FAE

Yeah, solo's rough in that game

JohnoBoy

Unless you're a TD genius, which I'm not

FAE

haha

If you like music games, Sound Shapes will be coming out on the Vita. I want a Vita like solely for that game. >>

@FAE Oh?

JohnoBoy

Only TD game I like is The Creeps for iOS, lovely little game

user15026

1:10 PM

@JohnoBoy That -is- a lovely little game!

FAE

@AshleyNunn It's a sidescrolling platformer with a musical focus

user15026

@badp It can be pretty challenging sometimes, yeah

user15026

@YiJiang Part of it might be that I'm using Windows 8 which isn't really supported

But Ubuntu is completely unsupported now. The last update to the driver was for 10.04 I think

If there are stickers on your printer, you're screwed

@tiddy Same goes for laptops

Was sitting next to a guy on the train who had huge promotional stickers over every exposed surface of his laptop. I just don't understand why people don't take them off.

@skovacs1 There's no Win8 specific drivers on the printer page so I used the Win7 ones. :/

skovacs1

@badp non-standard? I have a couple of those. HP printers have gone to using those stupid things and I had to buy one to use a printer I bought a few years back - damn future shop con job.

FAE

@skovacs1 IMO, HP printers are proof that life is cruel and pointless :P

skovacs1

@FAE I agree. I've had nothing but challenges whenever using them at any time in the last decade+. Really frustrating because of course you don't need the darn things until a deadline approaches and that's when they decide to flip you off.

RESPAWN

I assume you mean HP's consumer level printers?

Their older enterprise level laser printers are still good machines

I've got a couple LaserJet 4100's here that are still going strong with no issues other than the replacement of the occasional consumable.

Yi Jiang

2:05 PM

Steam's web login form - Firefox autofills username but not password for some reason. Starts typing password, page finish loading, JavaScript activates and focuses username field. Ends up typing out half my password in the username field

skovacs1

@RESPAWN I was. I really hated when they switched to the HP solution center nonsense - just what I needed, clutter on my machine. The all-in-ones are notably awful, but given the price point, I'm hardly surprised.

@YiJiang So your issue is with the auto-focus target?

RESPAWN

@YiJiang Sounds like you need a faster browser. ;)

@skovacs1 Yeah. I would agree that their consumer level stuff is crap. But, then I think anything at that price point is crap.

I gave up on keeping at printer at my house years ago, and just print anything I need at work.

Yi Jiang

@skovacs1 Steam's rather poor attempt at mimicking it, actually. Also, a lack of testing/thinking through

RESPAWN

It's amazing how little I ever have a need to print.

Yi Jiang

Autofocusing with JavaScript isn't the exactly best idea...

@RESPAWN A faster connection, though I can never get rid of the latency because of geography

RESPAWN

@YiJiang Fair enough. I was just assuming the problem was with Firefox in general. It's become a horribly bloated mess, and I'm not sure why I continue to use it.

JohnoBoy

You'll need to replace it just to be sure

FAE

@YiJiang Because our search sucks

Yi Jiang

@FAE I don't think it sucks that bad

FAE

First, I believe there are some people who have contention with the current way #2 (platform tags) are implemented, but I'll leave it to them to post about that. Secondly, is "achievements" supposed to be listed twice there? Thirdly, and my main point, I am very very loath to burninate the tags in #6 unless search is fixed to suck less. It currently doesn't even recognize plurals as synonyms. See: "achievement" and "achievements" give you different results. — FAE 2 hours ago

StrixVaria

My video card needs replacing, actually. It has a tendency to overheat when rendering especially difficult things (like the Eye of the Magus in Skyrim).

I don't usually have too much problem with it, but I always know what I'm searching for, and only look on Meta, so that helps.

Yi Jiang

Although this would mean that SE's search has slower indexing than Googlebot crawling the site :|

@Fluttershy ...clopfic? My word...

@Wipqozn Welcome to the Bridge.

Tim Stone

@YiJiang Plurals are hard! Lucene...hold on a second. No @Wipqozn, no. ...Lucene has the ability to handle them, but it's still non-trivial.

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy Make sure to include Gnome in it. I hear he loves MLP

Fluttershy

@Wipqozn I'm not actually writing a clopfic. Not a fan of that genre of MLP stuff.

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy I hate fanfics in general. Because they're usually terrible.

@GnomeSlice It most certainly does. <.< MLP themed erotic fanfiction = Clopfic.

Oh god... I.. I didn't... no

@GnomeSlice You... don't want to know... One of the worst things to come out of MLP... Ever.

Wipqozn

@YiJiang Scary, isn't it?

Fluttershy

Just to cover my bases here.

Time to write a clopfic about the Bridge.

Just to ruin your reputation.

Fluttershy

@Wipqozn I hate you.

Tim Stone

3:29 PM

@YiJiang It's...It'll be OK. I've personally taken to drinking heavily in hopes I forget all about it. Not sure if I should recommend that, but uh...you know...it'll be OK.

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn You're reading Twilight?

user15026

@Wipqozn Haha no

user15026

I have, though. XD Never. Again.

Yi Jiang

@Wipqozn This... this thing is probably a hundred times worse

Tim Stone

@YiJiang Things get trickier with the non-English sites too, heh.

3:30 PM

@TimStone Weeeeee! Accent and ligature folding is fun. Like Dwarf Fortress Fun.

user15026

@YiJiang Pretty much yeah

Yi Jiang

I am incredibly completely totally extremely hopeless at trying to implement OAuth authentication for Glitch's API using Node.js

user15026

@YiJiang I am incredibly completely hopeless at knowing what that sentence means. so not tech minded

Tim Stone

He's trying to do the stuff and things, basically.

Yi Jiang

Yeah, and having Fun. Like, real Fun with it.

Fun in the Dwarf Fortress sense

Wipqozn

3:37 PM

@YiJiang Your mom's fun in the Dwarf Fortress sense. Burn.

user15026

@YiJiang Like day at a carnival fun or chinese curse fun?

Wipqozn

tortoise shades

MY word. I've only said tortoise shades 51 times.

I really need to say it more often.

user15026

@Wipqozn yeah, you are definitely slacking off ;)

JohnoBoy

@YiJiang Oh god, you remind of my CS project where we had to implement OAuth on iOS

Wipqozn

59 times of you consider the time I just posted Ronan's picture.

I guess you could say tortoise shades I've been shelling up.

tortoise shades

What I need to do is set-up a greasemonkey script that will auto convert tortoise shades into tortoise shades when I send it.

Q: How much knockback does a normal punch do?

I have a feeling I was encountering someone with a hacked client, but just to make sure, about how much knockback does a normal punch do in Minecraft? Is it normal to be knocked back 4-5 blocks, or was the other player probably cheating?

@Wipqozn And then post this?

@OrigamiRobot New Lindsey Stirling video. But it's overwritten by someone singing some crappy like... Beiber song.

Wipqozn

@Ullallulloo No. That's silly.

Fluttershy

@IanPugsley Only a duplicate if Nic and I science out the punch.

@Fluttershy makes face Ick.

FAE

@badp Do you remember what beer we had at the pool place?

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy Justin Bieber is an insult to music. Just like the rest of modern mainstream music.

badp

uh... Heineken?

I have no idea

Wipqozn

elitist tortoise shades

FAE

Nay, it wasn't Heineken, it was a darker beer. I can't remember what it was though.

Fluttershy

3:44 PM

@AshleyNunn @Wipqozn I don't know if it's Justin Beiber for sure... It's that "We found love in a hopeless place" song.

Wipqozn

@FAE That's racist.

FAE

I'd have to ask Ivo I think.

Ian Pugsley

@Fluttershy just because your sciencey answer isn't comprehensive enough doesn't mean the new question isn't a dupe :P

Yi Jiang

@JohnoBoy That's what they ask you to do in CS?

Ullallulloo

@Wipqozn Your mom's silly.

Fluttershy

3:45 PM

@IanPugsley I just saw the "Its answers can be merged with another identical question." So yeah... Dupe.

JohnoBoy

It was for a final project in iOS development

By a very sadistic teacher

Go my fellow 10kers, delete!

Q: What was the first Wireless Controller?

Bit of an odd question here that I'm mainly asking out of curiosity. Can anyone shed some light on which company was the first to produce a wireless controller ? Personally my first experience was with Nintendo's Wavebird (which I considered revolutionary but I think it got overlooked because...

An app that consumes a service that requires OAuth authentication or create a service with an OAuth endpoint for other apps to consume?

Q: Minecraft: Enderman not noticing me looking at him in SMP

In my multiplayer server, the Enderman seems to not notice me looking at him, that happens to my server's clients too. Why does this happen?

Q: Starcraft 2 playable on Aspire 5552G?

I have an Acer Aspire 5552G with Athlon X2 P340, ATI HD5470 and 2 GB DDR3 memory. Playing Starcraft 2 is next to impossible with this configuration. Will adding more memory allow me to play with decent framerate or is the system configuration not enough to handle Starcraft 2?
