Dear Bell: You own the Space channel (a.k.a. Canadian SyFy SciFi), and you own BellAliant, the IPTV provider here. Please let me have Space in HD, so I don't have to make an excuse for pirating Doctor Who.

00:35
@OrigamiRob , give me a frownie face!

@RavenDreamer ಠ_ಠ
Thank you.
@Fluttershy ಠ_ಠ
@RavenDreamer You could just do this
PaperStare @Fluttershy's plot
@Fluttershy's plot  ಠ_ಠ
I was not aware of that, nor does it make any kind of sense.
Ha
00:37
@RavenDreamer It makes perfect sense.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Want to see a Review of a movie that has less plot than twilight?
@OrigamiRobot Mmmm. Neptar.
I think I spelt that wrong.

Hello Bridge!
user15026
I have had three beers. They were all different and amazing.
user20683
00:53
@AshleyNunn how was the date?
user20683
cute I should hope
@AshleyNunn yay!
user15026
@worldengineer last night date was not good. Other girl date today was awesome and cute
user20683
@AshleyNunn sorry to hear about the first
user20683
good to hear about the second
user15026
00:56
@lesspop yeah. My Untapped feed is busy tonight. :p
user20683
I almost bought booze today
user20683
@LessPop_MoreFizz must be getting to me
01:07
Now that most of the guests for my mom's birthday have left, I guess I should go be social.
I HAVE ALCOHOL

IT IS GOOD

user20683
Might as well add a tag to make it official
@WorldEngineer yeah, it's accurate
user20683
I kind of want to go get some
user20683
01:18
on the other hand, I need do work
Well, I'm glad to see y'all haven't adopted silly concepts like context in my absense.
PEER PRESSURE
user15026
@spugsley I also have alcohol (on my 4th beer)
user20683
I see no peers around me. You're two states away.
HI @JOHN
I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!
user20683
01:19
it is the 420 fest so I suppose it'd be tradition...
user20683
I have 40 minutes to decide
@AshleyNunn I have moscato and peach schnapps!
HI @ORIGAMIROBOT
Not dead, just...unplugged.
Same thing, really.
:(

innocent whistle
user15026
@spugsley that sounds amazeballs
01:25
@Wipqozn xD
@AshleyNunn You sound amazeballs.
HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES?
@Wipqozn .....what?
user20683
oh thank God, I've got two more days to work on a project.
@spugsley @john gets it, that's all that matters.
user20683
I could comment but I'd have to resign as a mod
01:27
@spugsley Go home, you're drunk.
I think....I think I've missed you, @Wipqozn.
9
Scary stuff.
@John Yeah, I've missed me too.
@John Someone pin this.
@OrigamiRobot @Wipqozn can.
I don't feel right pinning something about myself.
01:29
@John NOW KISS
@OrigamiRobot ....I am home....
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Okay, um...yeah....that's....yeah....no.
user20683
@spugsley go outside then?
I didn't miss him that much.
user20683
maybe?
user20683
01:30
I don't know
@Wipqozn ....um....that's a lie
@spugsley Hey, I do have some morals.
I think I have schnapps brain
is that a thing?
@John Fine. Just a nuzzle then.
@Wipqozn more lies.
01:31
@spugsley I think you're just jealous.
@Wipqozn or the opposite of jealous
if that's a real word
user15026
@lesspop have you had any beers by Muskoka brewery here?
Or how about a lick?
@YiJiang'sEvilClone .....this is.....unfortunate
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I AM NOT A PONY
01:34
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I'm not really in the mood to lick @John.
3
user20683
@spugsley dispossessive maybe?
@Wipqozn Neither am I.
user20683
there isn't really a good word for it in English that I'm aware of
user20683
and my vocabulary is enormous.
user20683
I wonder if using the word "enormous" on the Bridge is a sound idea.
01:36
@WorldEngineer Nah, only if it were something ambiguous like "mine is enormous"
user20683
@John I had no idea...wow
user20683
;P
:P
user15026
You people are weor
user15026
Weird
01:42
-meab +weor
I declare WEOR on the Bridge!
mine is enormous

user15026
Shut up all of you
6
user15026
@spugsley oh?
@AshleyNunn oh ;)
user15026
01:45
@spugsley ooooooh
Someone needs to explain meab...I've been gone too long and am missing all the memes!
:(
But not tonight.
Night, Bridge!
Just a typo of mean
Oh, haha
@John Wait, you haven't nuzzled @Wipqozn yet!
@AshleyNunn you no on Steam?
This @Wipqozn loving is making things awkward
01:48
@BenBrocka it's @Wipqozn's fault
it always is
nuzzle nuzzle nuzzle nuzzle nuzzle
user15026
@BenBrocka am now
@BenBrocka Wipqozn love is the best kind of love.
2
@Wipqozn no.
user20683
@spugsley @AshleyNunn @BenBrocka if you've not seen this OMG
@WorldEngineer YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
@WorldEngineer Seen that' pretty cool (especially monocle ganon). Love the illustrations to sell it
user20683
@BenBrocka I love how it's firmly in his own style whilst still being very Zelda
@WorldEngineer Very nice. I approve.
user20683
Aaron Diaz is seriously probably one of the talented webcomic artists out there
02:03
@WorldEngineer That's pretty interesting except for the fact that there's already a game under development called Clockwork Empire.
user20683
infamous for never making his goal of "weekly" updates but his work is phenomenal
user20683
@YiJiang'sEvilClone probably his take on it
user20683
ah nm
The nerd in me is very nitpicky about the presence of a fourth magical gem though... But I'm probably the only one who noticed that... >.>
user20683
and it's Clockwork Empires
user20683
02:05
@Unionhawk it's white on white so it's hard to spot but yeah...
Any webcomic update shedule is a lie, with rare exception
my schnapps brain needs to lay down and watch TV now
I'm amazed Sinfest is as regular as it is
nighty night
user20683
@BenBrocka XKCD and Questionable Content are probably the most clockwork, Penny Arcade as well
user20683
02:05
most of the "Dailies" tend to stay that way
@BenBrocka MegaTokyo. Ahahahahaha MegaTokyo.
user20683
I still think a "Dungeons and Discourses" video game needs to be a thing
user20683
actually that's an interesting idea...
user20683
"The Bridge: The RPG"
@WorldEngineer If they're daily, usually they're doing it as a real job
user20683
02:08
@BenBrocka yeah typically
user20683
I know Monroe and Jacques both do
@WorldEngineer I don't really know the schedule for xkcd.
@Yawus xkcd is MWF
Although What-if is always up on Tuesdays like clockwork.
user20683
@Yawus 3 times a week + one extra tuesday column
user20683
02:10
QC is 5 days a week but he does have guests strips and sort of "meh" strips when he's ill
user20683
Yelling Bird is the normal one for those
user20683
though sometimes you get the tequila monster and other insanity
user20683
this warmachine list...
user20683
hmm
Heavenly Nostrils is daily. Dumbing of Age is weekdays. Unsounded is MWF. All of them are pretty regular. I can even tell you the usual time Unsounded appears.
02:14
anyone know a good Turbographix 16 emulator?
user20683
@BenBrocka good question
I don't really care for these games only existing on my Wii
user20683
@MBraedley did the socializing happen?
@BenBrocka Magic Engine (which for some reason is named pce.exe) is the one I've had for like a decade
Magic Engine is the highest ranking one I see on google...last updated 2008 isn't a good sign, but for emulators that doesn't always matter much
02:20
@WorldEngineer yes, there was some socializing. And some nice scotch
Ahah, we're on the same page then
user20683
@BenBrocka older architectural ones often aren't updated that much
Unfortunately, it's one of those that isn't free

Q: Are long titles bad titles?

RetrosaurIs there anything with long titles? I don't know what the community thinks. Should they be concise and short, to the point? Or can they be long, and explain more stuff?

@Jin not seeing it meta using iOS
Ooh, I got a badge on meta for testing that too!
user20683
@Jin On Chrome on Mac OS X
user20683
I can see it
user20683

You know what, it might be because the firs tag is a special meta tag. Let me try on the site proper

Q: When I summon a war party, do lords go to that location or directly to me?

AndrewNordFaceIt's a question of time. I want them to gather, and go to my target (a siege, or a weaker lord wandering and too slow). If I summon them while in my castle, do they go to that castle first? Or does the AI just direct them towards me?

Hey
I gave up on this morning and went back to bed
Good plan, I haven't even got up yet.
I made coffee but that's all
Mmm bed... So comfy
09:14
My stomach is telling me I'm hungry, guess it's time to get up.
Cereal can be eaten in bed
I rarely feel hungry until like lunch, I don't get that
I normally don't either.

Is there any point to using berries to catch rabbits, or should I ju...

Q: How to clean GameCube controllers?

unorIt’s hard/expensive to get unused original Nintendo GameCube controllers these days. So I have to buy some used ones. But I find it unpleasant that someone I don’t know had his hands on it for several years. How could you clean GC controllers? Are there any effective ways?

My cat is snoring
I can hear him over Skyrim
I didn't know cats could snore
put a box over it so it's confused when it wakes up
It's so cute and amusing I had to tell someone
haha, he'd probably just go back to sleep
user15026
@kalina now I want to do that to my cat sometime. I think that makes me a terrible person because I know my cat would likely be super confused
11:11
confusing cats doesn't make you evil
that's pretty much the point of cats
I put mine in the laundry basket the other day. he sniffed my boyfriend's stinky socks for a bit, then curled up and slept in there for most of the evening
I worry about his sanity
and then I remember that he's a cat
therefore has none
laser pens.
user15026
If I did that to mine he would take all the laundry out and then sleep in the basket
hehehe @AshleyNunn
mine doesn't have the presence of mind to move laundry around
user15026
It's one of the few smart things my cat does do
11:19
I found out that my local supermarket sells Parmigiano-Reggiano for more than S$100 per kilogram
I want a cat :-(
I wish I was a cat, then I could sleep all day and demand food be presented to me when I'm hungry
My parents have one but it's evil and nasty
Having your genitalia removed and being forced to wear a collar?
I didn't say I had thought it out completely
And suffer ritual humiliaton for the amusement of your owners?
Either that or be a street cat, and I wouldn't want that
11:22
have a set of retractable claws?
You can be a Tiger and have that
user15026
Wow, @fredley when you put it like that it sounds terrible
@ash It's an interesting situation: a life of absolute luxury in exchange for your genitalia and dignity
user15026
@fredley it creates an interesting thought exercise when applied to humanity
@kalina I don't know, if you're going to wish to be something, why not dream a little higher?
11:25
Of course you get the option to keep your genitalia if you give up the right to freedom and live your whole life inside.
@ash I feel a Sci Fi short story coming on
@ash although in some civilisations and/or cultures being a eunuch wad pretty much this. See: Harem guards, castrati etc.
user15026
@fredley if you do write something I would be intrigued to read it
user15026
@fredley yeah, I did think about castrati when you mentioned it first
@ash I've written a few before, but never put them anywhere public. Mostly I write depressing stuff.
user15026
Depressing stuff?
user15026
I haven't written something that wasn't a class requirement in so long
11:31
@ash I'm on my phone, so don't have access to files, but here's what I think is a final draft of one:
https://www.evernote.com/shard/s134/sh/910829d4-aef3-4a6e-9481-54528a0ada2d/58f70c3f9c33eada9330fb57ca8e9958
is it bed time again yet
user15026
@fredley that was quite good. Sad and heartbreaking but good.
user15026
@kalina I wish.
@kalina you're an adult, the benefits of which involve going to bed whenever you want
interesting... an adult
hmm
user15026
11:36
(am waiting to take an 830 am bus home where I will collapse into my own bed instead of a mattress on my sisters floor)
@kalina people in their 20s are adults whether they like it or not (you can still choose to behave like a child though)
that's such a worrying thought, do I have to be responsible as well?
@kalina it helps.
thanks for ruining my life
11:39
now I have to completely re-evaluate EVERYTHING
Sorry, didn't mean to bring on an identity crisis
user15026
@fredley Oooh, nice twist in that one.
its ok, I'm pretty sure I can delay being responsible until I'm 30
user15026
@kalina I'm 25 and still irresponsible most days.
@ash I'm working on another, again roughly on the theme of immortality. If I get enough I might compile
@ash high five!
user15026
11:41
That would be awesome.
user15026
@fredley high fives being a student makes it even worse. I manage to pay my rent and keep me and my cat fed, though.
user15026
That's really the most responsible things that I do
well it's hot, it's loud, it's wild, we bounce to this track... and I don't care what anybody thinks about that

Yeah I'll see. I tends to have the spark of an idea every now and then and write a story, then do nothing for months
@kal star
@fredley ahahaha you can't star me because you're using mobile chat
VICTORY IS MINE

This is the worst day of my life

there I fix it
always ruining my fun
All hail @bapd, ruiner of fun
user15026
@kalina the job of a mod, no?
God damnit mobile chat
11:46
why you would star a random line from a random track is beyond me anyway!
@AshleyNunn only the job of a @bad mod
I just pursue my own fun
I'll continue having fun destroying users
pew pew
@badp is just a machine for processing tears of others into joy
4
you couldn't destroy your way out of a wet paper bag!
Haha
@kalina if the wet paper bag signed up on the site then yes I could!
someday the wet paper bag will Google how to move the paddle in pong
and it'll post a shit answer
and boom it's busted!
I agree, @badp is boring
@fredley Does anybody actually contend that point?
@YiJiang'sEvilClone HAI
user15026
11:51
@badp what is on his head?
@AshleyNunn A hat, obviously.
user15026
That is a terrible hat
@AshleyNunn The hat for the losing team on reddit's April Fool's TF2 cross over
@AshleyNunn Yes, it's absolutely awful.
Were you on Periwinkle?
11:52
Thank god no.
but the facial expression on this picture is way less inspired.
I "claimed" the item, but since I don't have TF2 I have no idea where it went
user15026
It's true. The other one has a much better face
@YiJiang'sEvilClone You'll get it when you next launch the game.
Since it's F2P, you can't "not have" the game.
Well, it's not on my list of games, and my Steam inventory doesn't have a TF2 section
@YiJiang'sEvilClone As with all F2P games on Steam, you must install it first from the store.
11:54
Speaking of which, I still have that extra copy of Frozen Synapse in my inventory
To add it permanently to your game list you must "buy" it from the Orange Box
(I think)
You get an hat in the process too!
(Please notice that right now I can't make up my mind about a hat/an hat; I think it's the former since the 'h' isn't actually silent but...)
h isn't a vowel but many people use 'an' anyway
user15026
It's usually conventionally a hat, I think.
An is acceptable if you're that posh in the rest of your speech
12:09
an is never acceptable, not even when it's supposed to be used
Consistency is key
@fredley is never acceptable, not even when he's supposed to be acceptable
Etc
