@badp Chat should have a music app. I'll write a meta.
@fredley Ow my head hurts now
Thanks for that
@fredley this shouldn't go down well
after the fourth spice girls song in a row there would be a meta post to have it removed again
@kalina Spice girls? MLP related songs much more likely.
@fredley I would play spice girls
@kalina :(
13:09
@fredley for this specific reason
@kalina If that's your reason I think MLP songs would be better
@kalina :(
Especially those shitty remixes that take 30 second songs from the show, repeats every syllabus 20 times to stretch out the remix to 6 minutes and add a nasty techno loop on the back. Dupstep optional.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone disagree, everybody knows the lyrics to spice girls songs, even if they hate them with a passion
even if they don't admit they know, they're burned into everybody's memory
once they hear them again they'll get stuck
Just play the MLP theme over and over and over again. I don't think anyone can stand that.
13:15
I love the MLP theme
@kalina You are a very brave girl
@YiJiang'sEvilClone why ?
@kalina Because I think I'll go mental if I have that song stuck in my head
13:20
@fredley I would but I don't want to sign up for a lego site
@kalina You can delete your account, or just edit questions.
@kalina Think of the edits...
@fredley the lego site is not established enough to survive me going at it with my editing tools
@fredley If you delete your account your votes go with you
@YiJiang'sEvilClone this
@YiJiang'sEvilClone That is stupid
(just saying)
13:22
just think what will happen when I delete my arqade account
@YiJiang'sEvilClone He'd still get to keep his badge
the world will collapse
raven will be below 100k again
community will gain thousands of edits
retro will get 100 downvotes undone
etc etc
@kalina Appreciate the use of when.
Also that the world will collapse first
@fredley well I wouldn't want to lure you into a false sense of security
although I guess for most people, the use of 'when' is a blessing, at least it reminds them that one day they'll be freed from me
@kalina I can free myself any time I want with the ignore button.
13:27
@fredley and a lot of people do, frequently
Those monsters.
goes to work
@kalina If I ignore you, do you see my posts/presence?
@fredley I got one Asiago Parmesan and one Everything
@fredley yeah, I see everything, including you acting like you're ignorant by not responding to anything I say
@kalina Awesome

Q: Do Order of Portal Shields differ?

Q: What is a good way to protect a town in Minecraft?

Young GuiloDo I use TNT to protect the perimeter like claymores? I built a town with no villagers for a bank, library and a blacksmith's shop. I don't want an Iron Golem because there is no villagers to protect. Any Ideas?

@OrigamiRobot Good?
@Lazers NARQ
@fredley it's not that awesome, I've decided trying to be friendly with everybody doesn't work so I am just going to unleash my full inner bitch on those I don't get on with
@kalina Fair enough. Being friendly with everyone is a horrible trait anyway, just look at politicians
@fredley They will be delicious.
Oh, I also walked into a spider web.
@Lazers Wat?
@OrigamiRobot Does it have eyes?
Can't tell, presumably no.
@OrigamiRobot Hope you remembered your sword.
@fredley It wasn't a full on spider web, just a thread across a gap.
@OrigamiRobot Tripwire?
13:37
Maybe, but I didn't hear a click.
@OrigamiRobot Probably not connected up then, phew
That could have been messy
@OrigamiRobot That makes three angels in here
Between angels and ponies things are getting feathery here
angels > ponies
13:39
@kalina Almost everything > ponies
@fredley disagree
@badp Ponies....don't have feathers
With this new user, I only count one. @FAE is only a pair of disembodied eyes.
Great. Reinstalled Steam, now it refuses to start
@BoltClock Great success!
Productivity will soar!
13:40
I open it, I get an update dialog, it finishes downloading, and then it closes. End.
@fredley Pegasus ponies do.
@GraceNote So does a pony with feathers sellotaped to it.
Morning, Bridge

Q: Lua and Codea experience

ThirdyDoes any body have experience using Lua in Codea? What was your experience like could you really make a game program in no time given that you know at least one programming language? I understand that creating gaming software is more than just coding but what I am trying to drive at is could you...

@fredley That gives two points of ponies with feathers, then, refuting "ponies don't have feathers".
13:42
@GraceNote Fine. But the sellotape argument can be applied to any creature (as long as you've got a steady hand)
Then we're all featherfolk.
WTF is sellotape?
@OrigamiRobot It's what you use to make graphene
Oh, you mean scotch tape.
13:45
@OrigamiRobot No, despite our different geographic locations, history and linguistic culture, you're WRONG
@fredley My 2 seconds of research tell me I am right.
@Unionhawk DON'T YOU DARE POST INFLAMMATORY STUFF LIKE THAT IN HERE
@OrigamiRobot Well my one second of research tells me I am right
> You have fully used your vote allowance for today
Dammit
@Unionhawk NOT COOL
@fredley Both Scotch and Sellotape are brand names that have come to refer to the generic product: clear tape
13:47
@SaintWacko Your base looks cool by the way
@OrigamiRobot sticky tape
@fredley Thanks :)
@fredley All tape is sticky.
@SaintWacko What are the fire things? Are they different from crafting tables?
I'm working on making it so the entrance to my main base is through the fireplace
Otherwise, it's ribbon.
13:48
@OrigamiRobot A measuring tape is not
@OrigamiRobot Recording tape.
@SaintWacko Haha, awesome
@fredley They're like netherrack in that they'll burn forever
@OrigamiRobot Cassette tape
20 secs ago, by OrigamiRobot
Otherwise, it's ribbon.
13:48
But they look cooler
@SaintWacko Nice. But they're also a crafting table?!
@fredley ...I don't think so...
@OrigamiRobot Tape worm
Are they?
@SaintWacko Oh. I thought they were...
13:49
@fredley I guess I haven't tried right clicking on them
@fredley Tapeworms are sticky.
Does something happen?
@Unionhawk At 8:50am? Wow.
@OrigamiRobot Tapeworms are icky
I don't really know much about them. I wonder if I could put something in them to make them auto-ignite
13:50
@ShotgunNinja I know!
@SaintWacko Thought it did, I could be wrong though, maybe it was my powerglove
@Unionhawk Next you're going to tell us "Cracker" was not about Robbie Coltrane's love for snacks ...
@fredley Tapeworms are Vicky. cue Fairly Oddparents
@fredley Also true.
That would be incredibly useful, because that's where I'm stuck in building the secret entrance
Reigniting them after they move back into place
@SaintWacko Cool
@fredley Bubble tape is sticky.
@Unionhawk No it is not
@Unionhawk Not initially anyway
Non-adhesive tape [...] Drywall tape [...] sometimes has adhesive
13:52
So uh. Steam is just downloading stuff, storing them in Steam\package, and not doing anything with them
Is non-adhesive tape tape that only sticks to itself?
@BoltClock Steam... What are you doing?
@fredley None of those are tapes. They just have tape in the name because they resemble tape.
@BoltClock It's saving up on bytes for the harder times
> Tape refers to a strip of long, thin and narrow material, usually rolled up.
13:53
I wonder what'd happen if Steam implemented the PS4 feature of preloading games it thinks you'll buy
Nothing about stickyness there
@badp Piracy?
@fredley DRM?
@badp Full hard drives
@fredley Unless it's sticky, it's ribbon.
@fredley I mean, Steam already lets you play games you don't own and purchase them with one click pretty frequently. It's called "free weekends."
13:55
@badp Because DRM is completely secure
Oh no, StackOverflow is offline for maintenance. Now I can't do any work!
6
@OrigamiRobot No, ribbon is a thing in seweing
@badp I wouldn't be happy if Steam started automatically having me participate in free weekends, personally
@Sterno SO offline: global economy loses millions as all developers stop working.
Oh no, Steam won't launch beyond the update process. Now I can't waste my time!
13:55
@fredley Of course, no DRM has ever been broken
@fredley True story.
@Unionhawk but those wouldn't be free weekends! They'd be worse!!
@BoltClock It's ok, we're here for you
@fredley "a strip of long, thin and narrow material"
@OrigamiRobot Sounds like a tape
13:56
"Hey, I think you'll really dig Borderlands 2 so I downloaded it for you. Just click here and play! "
Me writing javascript = me hitting SO every 5 minutes
@fredley And ribbon.
@SaintWacko Also, full download quotas in lots of places without people realising it at first.
The distinction is stickiness.
@OrigamiRobot Incorrect. Magnetic tape?
13:58
@MartinSojka I wonder if the PS4 won't be the death of those quotas
@fredley Generally sticky, with a magnet on one side
@fredley Ribbon.
Honestly that wouldn't suck.
I loathe the idea of broadband quotas
Or am I thinking of something entirely different
13:59
@fredley Yeah, I forgot about that. I'm only barely old enough to remember this (not really, but I like to tell myself that)

What the hell?
Well, not that specifically, but, magnetic tape being used overall ever
@BoltClock delete system32 and try again
2
@Unionhawk I remember the portable equivalents very well
&vhs=1
@BoltClock Maybe you want to reinstall Steam from scratch?
@fredley Yes, indeed.
14:01
@badp That's what I just did 20 minutes ago
This is immediately after reinstalling
@BoltClock Purge all application folders in ProgramFiles etc. and AppData?
so Steam is choking on itself?
Pretty much
what Windows btw?
7
I'm looking at my firewall settings
Why are there two entries for Steam...
14:04
@BoltClock eh, I don't think it's the firewall. Something is mangling the bytes in between
Try putting ice cream in the optical drive.
4
@BoltClock You cleaned out your temp directory?
Vanilla is best, but chocolate works in a pinch.
@Powerlord Which one, the one in the Steam folder, or %temp%?
@BoltClock I meant %temp%
14:05
@OrigamiRobot I already put all my ice cream in my mouth
I've noticed installers doing weird things if you don't.

Q: What's the easiest way to make obsidian?

Young GuiloIn Minecraft what is the easiest way to make obsidian without using the creative game mode? Do i use water buckets? Or tunnel my way to water?

@BoltClock Wrong drive.
And since I just installed Steam on my laptop yesterday, I'm quite sure Steam's installer works properly.
@Powerlord The installer works fine, but Steam.exe opens that update dialog, downloads stuff, extracts, then closes silently. And nothing.
14:06
@BoltClock Well, obtain more ice cream before attempting to continue the installation process
@BoltClock This is after installing from the latest MSI from the Steam site?
@Powerlord Yes
@fredley The everything bagel was delicious.
@fredley since when was that active? I remember seeing a button for VHS mode probably monday afternoon.
@tombull89 The other day
14:14
@OrigamiRobot Everything bagels usually are delicious.
I will eat the asiago parmesan for lunch
jerks... I haven't eaten breakfast yet
@fredley Is "tea time" a set time of day or is it just anytime you want tea?
@ShotgunNinja You're late, you're late, for a very important... meal
All times are tea times to the brits
14:18
It's only 9:18am here, but still... I won't be able to eat anything until at least noon.
I just wish it wasn't so damn depressing here.
Tea can refer to any of several different meals or mealtimes, depending on a country's customs and its history of drinking tea. However, in those countries where the term's use is common, the influences are generally those of the former British Empire (now the Commonwealth of Nations). Tea as a meal can be small or large. United Kingdom and Ireland Elevenses Elevenses is a snack that is similar to afternoon tea, but eaten in the morning. It is generally less savoury than brunch, and might consist of some cake or biscuits with a cup of coffee or tea. Afternoon tea / low tea Aftern...
Been raining for days on end.
@BenBrocka I agree with this sentiment, but I suspect it is inaccurate.
@ShotgunNinja Same here, could barely get to work today for all the blocked off streets
@Brant First rule of Daft Punk prereleases, everything that leaks is fake. There's a reason I haven't posted 90% of the shit that's out there.
14:24
@BenBrocka Spent most of my highway time going 20mph, and had to shoulder for a cop car on an on-ramp.
American motorist jargon wooo~
The forecast here has been rain all week but it hasn't actually rained.
Had to awkwardly drive past a cop with sirens on blocking the left turn (took a right turn) not sure what that was about. And there was a huge accident somewhere else (but I didn't get close because of the mile long line of cars coming from that direction)
So my PC's network card went bust preventing me from using cable, and this Wi-Fi USB stick causes all sorts of problems with Steam and TF2
Unplug Wi-Fi USB stick, connect my phone and use my mobile data through direct USB tether and everything works
@BoltClock Ew
yeah, ew is right
14:34
Cheapo wifi USB sticks are pretty terrible
not surprised a phone tether is better if you have a decent mobile connection
@LessPop_MoreFizz morning
@kalina Hi.
I am so melty
@LessPop_MoreFizz Hi.
@kalina Moaning
14:38
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I am not moaning, it would be obvious if I was moaning!
6
@BoltClock See? I told you there was a bunch of wee lasses between you and Steam.
Aside: I wish I could tether with my Nexus 7 :(
Really have no idea why it's been removed as a feature
@badp Took me a while to realize that was a reference to a Demoman line
@BoltClock I had to destroy it a little bit
Well this is an... interesting conversation to tab back to...
@kalina hi.
14:41
@LessPop_MoreFizz hello!
@OrigamiRobot the part where kalina is a loud moaner or the part where wee lasses destroy BoltClock's internets?
@kalina Hello!
@badp The former.
@badp Cyanogen
@fredley Warranty
14:42
@badp I am actually quite quiet in that way
@badp Warranties are there to be voided
@kalina That's not good.
I've never looked back
@fredley I've already had to use it once on this thing
@badp never look back
@badp sorry, I don't provide obvious feedback
I need excuses to get out of meetings today

maybe a reboot will do in @OrigamiRob's case though.
@badp ಠ_ಠ
@OrigamiRobot Don't complain, it's not gonna hurt.
@OrigamiRob feeling better?
(in a stroke of karma my mobile managed to weight down on my video cable enough to detach it right now)
I'd feel better if my name was italicized.
That's not my name.
OrigamiRobot
Are you feeling better?
YES I AM HAPPY NOW
14:57
All I see is @Origa
I LOVE EVERYONE

Which sounds like an old video game console.
uggggggh okay all the hard drives are backing up or boxed or in new enclosures. Time to go out and work and hopefully not have rocks thrown at me.
@OrigamiRobot If I only I'd known that was enough, OrigamiRobot!
@LessPop_MoreFizz I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY
14:57
@OrigamiRobot Liar.
Let's play on the @Origa GameTetrahedron 9000!
@OrigamiRobot Well, there probably won't be anymore rocks thrown at me, so that'll be an improvement.
@LessPop_MoreFizz WHY DID SOMEONE THROW A ROCK AT YOU?
@OrigamiRobot Because they didn't like me.
I LOVE ROCKS
15:00
@OrigamiRobot Did you throw the rock at me?
I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO MEMPHIS, BUT I'M SURE IT'S LOVELY
Yeaaaaaah…. That dent is from a rock that almost hit my head just now. Today is going just swell. http://t.co/3V04y08uq4
@OrigamiRobot It is not lovely. People throw rocks here.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I wondered where that rock came from
@LessPop_MoreFizz I saw the picture, I thought it was from a truck or something.
@LessPop_MoreFizz What is the dent in?
15:02
@fredley that is my car, just above the window.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Nice.
Memphis sure sounds like a classy place.
You can even see my coffee in the cupholder if you look closely.
Or rather the empty cup that had previously held my coffee.
You know who else loves throwing rocks? @AshleyNunn
@LessPop_MoreFizz If I were to ask the thrower why they did it, what reason might they give?
@SaintWacko @AshleyNunn THREW A ROCK AT @LessPop_MoreFizz : DATA ACCEPTED
Can someone who has me in their Steam friends list tell me what my online status is on Steam?
15:10
@LessPop_MoreFizz The song was taken down, but it was actually an elaborate rickroll.
@OrigamiRobot Tea time is a complex issue
@Brant Yeah, I saw that it was taken down, which is why I assumed it was fake.
But yeah, first rule of Daft Punk is that everything that leaks is fake - if you tell me you have a leaked track and don't know the provenance of it, I am going to assume it is fake.
15:11
(Listen to the first two minutes at least)
@fredley Trying to learn about other cultures is against my culture anyway.
@LessPop_MoreFizz The Gravelings missed?
Dead Like Me is an American comedy-drama television series starring Ellen Muth and Mandy Patinkin as grim reapers who reside and work in Seattle, Washington. Filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, the show was created by Bryan Fuller for the Showtime cable network, where it ran for two seasons (2003–04). Fuller left the show five episodes into Season 1 because of creative differences; creative direction was taken over by executive producers John Masius and Stephen Godchaux. A direct-to-DVD movie titled Dead Like Me: Life After Death was released on February 17, 2009, with an option to re...
@OrigamiRobot Having a well defined culture is very un-British
@fredley Knowing about human cultures is very un-robot.
@Powerlord What the hell is that photo from?
Oh wait, gravelings.
Now I remember.
(The horrible direct-to-dvd movie followup to the series made me forget everything)
15:14
@Brant I just saw that recently.
Which is a shame, because that was a great show.
I'm not sure I'd call it... horrible, but it definitely wasn't up to the show's standard.
Why did Showtime cancel the show anyway?
As soon as I realized Mandy Patinkin wasn't in the movie I was like BOO-WEEEP, BOO-WEEEP, DANGER WILL ROBINSON
@Brant I assume that's because he got out of the TV industry.
Oh. I assumed it was because he saw the script and refused to participate.
15:17
> I never thought they were going to kill and rape all these women every night, every day, week after week, year after year. It was very destructive to my soul and my personality, and after that, I didn't think I would get to work in television again.
This was about his 2007 departure from Criminal Minds
And of course, the Dead Like Me movie was in... 2009?
