@TimStone Hitman 2 is adding in a new competitive mode where you compete against another player to kill randomly assigned targets first. First to five kills wins, and if you're spotted performing the killing it doesn't count. It's called Ghost mode.

@GodEmperorDune get a blender cup thingy. They are really convenient

Tim Stone

So what you're saying is I get to beat you?

Then you just rinse off the blades and wash the cup when you are done with it.

Tim Stone

@MBraedley but why

@TimStone Yeah I think I'll be buying this day 1

MBraedley

@TimStone I couldn't tell you

7:25 PM

I was planning to wait just because I'm trying to not buy games as much anymore but like, this seems great

@Dragonrage its still something to clean though

Ok. Got my pain medicine hopefully it kicks in before my anesthesia fully wears off

Also it seems like the kind of game I'm trying to buy more, aka stuff I can get more playtime out of

@GodEmperorDune less stuff to clean than most meals you make.

@GodEmperorDune Blenders are pretty easy to clean though. Just add some water and run it a few times.

@Yuuki I...never thought of that.

@Wipqozn you should get west of loathing

@Wipqozn You should totally buy Civ 5. I think that game cost me a penny for every hour I played.

@Yuuki this is a really good idea

If you really want to disinfect, add some dish soap along with the water.

@Yuuki and hey, bonus bubbles :D

Unionhawk

I did not expect that to onebox without http but ok

@JasonBerkan I already own that, plus Civ VI!

@Ash It actually works really well. Just toss in some water and it just cleans itself. Depending on what you're doing you might need to still go through it with a cloth, but if you're just making a smoothie then you shouldn't need to do anything else but rinse out the soap.

@Wipqozn How do you have the time to play any other games? Do turtles live in an alternate time dimension?

Unionhawk

why do you think they're so slow

@JasonBerkan I figure that's how the tortoise caught up to the hare despite naps not taking super long.

7:33 PM

@JasonBerkan Because Im

Really bad at typing on my phone!

Was the rest of that sentence

@JasonBerkan because I'm really bad at not finishing games due to moving onto the new cool thing. It's a backlog of regret, so I'm trying to buy less games and spend more time on ones already own.

Ave

big mood

@Ave knife arrived, fam?

Ave

@GodEmperorDune nah but it shipped

it's coming from states so it'll take some weeks

Well, the only thing that is still numb is my bottom lip

Pain isn’t too bad atm, so the pain medication must be helping.

There's a Smash Mouth musical now, and the only song in it is "All Star." Of course we saw it. https://www.polygon.com/2018/10/12/17968406/smash-mouth-all-star-musical?utm_campaign=polygon.social&utm_content=polygon&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter https://t.co/8BYxD6qjIB

cc @ash @fredley

it actually sounds like an interesting musical

user15026

7:45 PM

@GodEmperorDune It kinda does!

@Wipqozn I've found that I bounce away from games once they start annoying me. I'm playing for fun, so I want to have fun, not be frustrated.

> It’s essentially a Jukebox Musical, but the jukebox is broken.

That's a great line.

broken or working as designed?

> Sadie is caught in a love triangle (then rectangle, then hexagon) between fellow gas station employee Eddy (Andrew Block), the sweet-but-jealous type, and local storm chaser/pseudo-celebrity Arnold St. James (Tom Althoff), the proverbial “Meteor Man” from the song, who “beg(s) to differ” with the folks trying to keep Sadie down.

pffff

@JasonBerkan Yeah but I'm moving on even though I'm still having fun and want to keep playing, but get distracted by the new hip thing.

When IS-8 was split into T-10 and Object 267, was crew duplicated then? I am wondering, because XP was duplicated, but at the time of split I had my crew of the tank.

After doing all 4 boards in normal mode, I got a red gem. It placed itself at the top of the star. I guess there are others. But I also can't figure out what are they supposed to do. So how do you get all the gems, and what do they do?

Here's your Friday uplifting story. Mustafa Alabssi's incredible journey: Netflix debut the latest feat for deaf Syrian refugee

My pain medication doesn’t seem to be helping much anymore

@Yuuki a quick explainer on what this does to the brain

@GodEmperorDune So the motion sensing part of the brain is firing because it's next to the color/pattern matching part of the brain, which is being super-activated by the image?

@Yuuki yep, brain overflow

9:14 PM

@GodEmperorDune So my mother's making a pug blanket, as in a blanket with a pug pattern.

How Millennials Killed Mayonnaise (I laughed at how angry this person seems over the whole thing)

@Ash This person does know that sriracha and wasabi mayos are really popular, right?

(And also, why buy mayo when you can make really good tasting mayo from scratch pretty easily?)

user15026

@Yuuki but those are mayo with STUFF IN and how dare you

@Ash mayo is gross, it can rot with the rest of the stuff we kill

user15026

@Yuuki I'm lazy, I just keep the eternal mayo jar in my fridge for the odd times I crave tuna salad

user15026

9:58 PM

Or a tomato sandwich

user15026

That's like...the only time I use it

@GodEmperorDune American mayo is pretty gross.

Mayo + ketchup is the thing to have on burgers.

@GodEmperorDune Yup agreed, and people use way too much of it. Probably to cover yo that whatever they're making is gross.

user15026

@InvaderSkoodge or for french fries.

9:59 PM

Japanese kewpie mayo is pretty good.

user15026

@Yuuki mmmmm yes

@Ash I should try this.

Honestly I'll toss this into the same pile as Applebee's, where my generation killed it because it was terrible

It's made with rice vinegar instead distilled vinegar.

user15026

@Yuuki fritessaus is also good

Q: How do I test when a player selects a named item in Minecraft 1.13?

-1

I am trying to detect when a player selects (holds) a named item in Minecraft 1.13. I have been trying to find a way to do this for ages, but I was unsuccessful. Note that the command has to be compatible with 1.13 specifically, not an older version of the game. Any ideas?

We can toss cable into that list too

@InvaderSkoodge Gross

user15026

@Wipqozn I'm half Dutch, it's a thing (well okay fritessaus is a thing but you can't just get fritessaus here at restaurants, so we make do)

I feel like a lot of gross foodstuff perceptions comes from American versions of things, which tend to value shelf-life and cheap costs (for maximum efficiency) over things like flavor.

user15026

user15026

10:07 PM

@Ash well now i want pizza

user15026

Well now you know how to capitalize on the pizza

nah, that doesn't take into account when different people want different toppings

@GodEmperorDune half and half works for that

@GodEmperorDune Literally every pizza place will do different toppings on different halves of the pizza.

10:09 PM

also in the past when i have ordered big pizza for myself, i eat too much in one go and suffer the consequences later

@InvaderSkoodge different crust sizes, too

I actually don't know what you intend with that counterargument.

@GodEmperorDune Yeah I intentionally order smaller pizzas for just this reason. I'll eat too much, feel gross, and then won't want to eat left over s the next day.

The part of the pizza that is actually pizza will have the same crust thickness. The part of the pizza that is crust is irrelevant.

that's why different halves of a single large pizza doesn't work

@InvaderSkoodge Differnet kind of crust

10:10 PM

@InvaderSkoodge thin crust is thin all over, toppings portion and not

thick crust is thick all over the pizza

That said I'm pretty sure @GodEmperorDune just eats pizza with some pretty fussy people

I don't understand why you're saying this. We're talking about two different-sized same-style pizzas.

You just toss a few meats and veggie on there and you're good

If you want a specific crust thickness then obviously order that crust tickness.

i am saying why the single large pizza doesn't work in my personal situation

10:11 PM

But if it's a single large pizza with the same crust style as a two smaller pizzas what is the difference?

I'm sincerely confused.

2 pizzas allows more flexibility, if less square inches of pizza than a single larger pizza

@InvaderSkoodge He means he wants one type of crust, but someone else wants a different kind of crust

@Wipqozn OH

Ok, then, that finally makes sense.

user15026

@Wipqozn Oh, okay, that I get then

user15026

I missed that somehow

10:14 PM

sorry all, i worded that poorly. Thanks for clarifying it @Wipqozn

The moral of the story is that I'm a hero

I really want to experience an authentic Chicago style pizza.

@InvaderSkoodge I've never had that before

but then again I've also never bee to Chicago

It looks really weird

i've had the mail order louis malnattos and was not impressed

Yeah it's definitely a completely different beast than NY style.

10:15 PM

but fresh is probably much different

Supposedly pictou county has really good pizza in nova scotia

and one day I'll try it, probably

i've had much NY style pizza, but outside of NYC it is not that great

in NYC, fantastic

I have never actually had pizza in NYC even though I'm there every workday.

i dunno if it is local water or airborne bacteria or what, there is just something about it that doesn't replicate in other places

@InvaderSkoodge wat

not even a slice?

I know @LessPopmoreFizz once claimed it was something in the water

10:18 PM

Nope, not even a slice.

He was a huge advocate for NY pizza being the best pizza

I should just take a quick detour on my commute home one day to grab a slice somewhere.

I'm never hungry at that time, though.

And work feeds me breakfast and lunch so I why would I go spend money somewhere.

@InvaderSkoodge it's a few bucks and its for science!

Yeah I mean I can definitely swing it, just never really felt the need to.

The Office - New York Slice!

10:19 PM

If I'm in NYC for not-work then I'm generally eating somewhere fancier.

You should pull a Michael scott and eat at a chain

@Wipqozn This scene is so good.

@InvaderSkoodge Yup this is from season 3, when the office was at it's best

It's basically all downhill from there. It was a slight fall in season 4 and 5, aka it was still pretty good, but 6 onwards was painful.

user15026

I am playing this time management game that is set in an airport and one of the minigames has you arranging customer's things in the bins at security

at some point i will go back and rewatch the office

10:21 PM

My favorite overall scene from the entire show is from a later season.

user15026

I just got irrationally mad at the game and had to quit playing because they had you arranging electronics and clothing IN THE SAME BIN

user15026

That's not how it gooooooes

@InvaderSkoodge Which scene is that?

Andy is filming an informational video in a science lab and has to demonstrate the eye wash station.

Because the later seasons do have some really good individual scenes and episodes, but they're definitely not the norm anymore

@InvaderSkoodge Oh yes that was really good

ToxicFrog

10:25 PM

@Ash it is sometimes depending on the airport/terminal, as long as they aren't stacked on top of each other

@Ash heresy, seriously

user15026

@ToxicFrog I suppose I will be accept it

user15026

But I don't like it

user15026

Arperum

downloads a collector tool for Titan quest after years of not playing it discovers that I apparently did help find a couple bugs in it, since I'm mentioned in the credits

Wait, so is @Arperum Internet Famous

@Arperum were the bugs related to insufficient headbanging ingame?

Arperum

@Yuuki In the group of people who are collectors and play Titan quest. And look at the credits of their tools.

10:57 PM

@GodEmperorDune Season 3

Arperum

@GodEmperorDune I cannot remember anything about it anymore. Except that I did use this program before.

@GodEmperorDune Season 5

@GodEmperorDune Season 6, I think

Oh no season 9

@Wipqozn rekt

@GodEmperorDune In my defence it's just an upside down 6

well i am sad that the dwight spinoff didn't go anywhere

but parks and rec and now the good place are great

and the actor who plays dwight is great on star trek discovery

user15026

11:03 PM

I love The Good Place

@Ash you can kinda see the threads that started in the office, went through parks and rec, and are now in the good place. besides the same actors popping up, of course

user15026

I actually havent seen the other two shows

user15026

I tried them both and neither really gelled with me

Q: Steam Screenshot Uploader preview resolution is low

Text like "Passive Abilities" here is unreadable in Steam's Screenshot Uploader preview (not when opened in an external editor). Is there a way to fix that?

user15026

I am all that except maybe the last one but that's because gifting is weird for me because "normal" people don't hyperfocus so I can't always tell when they like things.

@Ash basically she has a hyperfocus on figuring out what to get someone as a gift

user15026

Ah, okay

user15026

11:23 PM

I just realized in the past few months I can't tell what people like enough to gift them a thing unless tehy tell me because I percieve "liking" a thing much more different-er than most people I know

user15026

Like for me, it's like "give me hyperfocus things" but I don't know how to tell what people like when they don't do that in obvious ways

user15026

so I always worry they don't like the thing enough to have a gift of it

user15026

(mind you I try to tell myself that gettign people gifts is like...a gift in itself? sometimes that helps)

11:32 PM

@Ash maybe ebay after the fact?

or if you have a friend going that gets it for you

user15026

I could get it if I bought the BlizzCon virtual ticket but I don't want to.

yeah they are always trying to get you to spend more

user15026

(also I'd liek to be able to see the sizing chart and such but you can't without being logged in and have teh virtual ticket, which is stupid)

1000% i don't get con exclusive merch

like a thing you get for going to the con that is part of the ticket price? sure

or maybe even the ticketholders get first dibs type thing

user15026

(although I am just going to tell myself that it's the normal standard ladies' sizes which means it won't fit me anyhow)

11:35 PM

noooooooooo

user15026

Also, I'd love WoW merch that wasn't like...defined by Horde vs Alliance

@GodEmperorDune I am too stronk for lady clothes :P
