as4s4hetic

@ASCII-only are you in med?

ASCII-only

@as4s4hetic biomed

as4s4hetic

ooh I'm thinking of going into biomed

but I also kinda want to take a dual degree in math/arts except whenever I tell someone they look at me like I've grown two heads

30: a fish

help I don't know any other words that start with FLO

Sp3000

11:03 AM

(6 is not FLOATING)

ASCII-only

pass 6

ffao

the only reason I'm not looking at you like you've grown two heads is because I can't see you

6: flower

ASCII-only

Sp3000

The Thames is indeed a FLOW-ER of London

ASCII-only

ASCII-only defending: FLOC

as4s4hetic

11:05 AM

mr FLOWERS is the best biology teacher

wait did he teach phys

ASCII-only

Yes lol I was in his class for both Year 11 and 12

as4s4hetic

oh oops he subbed for my bio teacher once and that's the only time I've had him as a teacher

he's the best

@ffao in my defence it's much better than majoring in arts by itself

Wen1now

100: ___ of sheep

ASCII-only

100 FLOCK

Wen1now

^That's, like, the only floc word I can think of

100 ✓

ASCII-only

11:07 AM

I feel like I should just reveal my word now

ffao

this is why you don't defend a word with 10 hits on google

Sp3000

(There's other FLOC- words? o_O)

Wen1now

10 hits is still a decent amount

ASCII-only

@ffao but... it has 251k

ffao

I should have guessed

ASCII-only

11:08 AM

@Everyone should I reveal

ffao

after you tried to defend antidisestablishmentarianism

Wen1now

I think it's your choice

ASCII-only

ASCII-only was defending: FLOCCINAUCINIHILIPILIFICATION

as4s4hetic

..great

ASCII-only

@ffao I didn't

ffao

11:11 AM

I guess we win

@ffao here

Sp3000

14. ...goria

Wen1now

11:17 AM

And I'm lost already

1: Colourful bird

as4s4hetic

14: I'm going to guess PAN because it sounds like a word

1: parrot

JOKES

Wen1now

as4s4hetic

1: peacock

Wen1now

1: ✓ Peacock was what I was thinking

as4s4hetic

ne cerbon. sentas malbona

ffao

11:19 AM

contact 14

Wen1now

1': Some other bird (Oh no, there are so many more...) - the one with ambiguous spelling

Ambiguous as in, it can be spelt either way

(14 is not PAN)

1': pigeon, pidgeon

1': ✓

pass 14

11:20 AM

14: phantasmagoria

Sp3000

14. phantasmagoria is correct

as4s4hetic

o_o this is bullying

As4 defending: P I

ffao

(14: ... of Dimension Dream, perhaps)

ASCII-only

1. Cobbled-together language? I guess?

ffao

not a real clue ^^

as4s4hetic

11:22 AM

HOW

PASS 1

ffao

SNIPED

as4s4hetic

I WAS HELLA SHOOK WHEN 1' CAME OUT

ASCII-only

SOMEONE PLS CONTACT 1

as4s4hetic

oops

Sp3000

(of Flower View I think? Or at least that was the one I was thinking of)

as4s4hetic

11:22 AM

I just gave away my word

wait ok if 1 isnt my word I'll be extremely embarrassed but I don't see anything else it could be

ffao

touhou 3 is Dimension Dream, touhou 9 is Flower View

ASCII-only

I think it is lol

as4s4hetic

I'm 99% sure it is

if no one contacts it I must suffer for longer

Wen1now

Actually...

ASCII-only

2. histay isnay otnay otallytay obviousyay

Wen1now

11:24 AM

ASCII-only can keep giving hints on it

ASCII-only

Hint: 1 should be numbered 1''

Wen1now

Can I just guess randomly?

ASCII-only

I guess so

Wen1now

Actually I'm so dumb... I haven't got anything

ffao

I don't think 2 is defensible

ASCII-only

11:25 AM

2 isn't

Wen1now

Speaking of getting really contact clues really fast

ffao

well, I have no clue on 1

ASCII-only

Then... the game continues I guess

Wen1now

I had this really stupid game once when somebody got it with the first clue of the game

Sp3000

I can only think of Piet, but that's not really cobbled-together

ASCII-only

11:26 AM

Hint #2: Not a programming language lol

as4s4hetic

I'm shook that was like the 4th clue

Sp3000

Well in that case I can only think of Esperanto and Lojban

as4s4hetic

>:(

ASCII-only

@as4 Can I give another hint

Wen1now

Yeah, sure

as4s4hetic

11:28 AM

esperanto estas bela lingvo >:(

ASCII-only

Also someone guess clue 2 pls

3. Michael and ___ (Rick and Morty)

4. @

4. ping

4 yes

I am still here

11:30 AM

I'm not guessing clues until 1 is sorted out

ASCII-only

Another hint I guess

Hint #3 it's not one language specifically

It should really be a dead giveaway now .-.

Wen1now

'dead giveaway'... shows how bad I am

as4s4hetic

hint 1 should be the dead giveaway

Wen1now

It's just a straight clue, rigth?

ASCII-only

Hint #4: It's also the name of some messaging software

@Wen1now Yes

as4s4hetic

11:31 AM

Hint 5: "(I have ~0 vocabulary)" was meant to be ironic

I only wanted to defend this word just so I could say that ^

ffao

well, I know it from 4

but I would never guess or clue this

Sp3000

(still no idea)

ffao

so you got lucky that ascii knows it

it's PIDGIN

as4s4hetic

As4 was defending: PIDGIN

ASCII-only

mfw Edge appears in my taskbar search box

why Micro$oft why

ffao

11:34 AM

it's much better than IE, at least

ASCII-only

True

ffao

and it's reasonably lightweight

Wen1now

New round, I guess

ASCII-only

But who wants a browser opening every time they look for files :P

Any guesses for #2?

ffao

I don't get a browser opening if I search in my taskbar

ASCII-only

11:35 AM

only specific things I guess

ffao

2 is pig latin, as you said obvious

but I was focusing on 1

ASCII-only

e.g. software you don't have apparently

2 yes

@ffao Yeah I know was just asking again since the round had ended

as4s4hetic

@ffao I'm so ashamed I didn't get that

Wen1now

I just realised, ffao's message pattern actually looks more normal than most other people's here

ASCII-only

Message pattern?

Wen1now

11:37 AM

'typical user activity over a 24-hr period'

ffao

I've been trying to get a reasonable sleep schedule over the past few months

ASCII-only

@as4s4hetic What is with your user activity lol

Wen1now

That's actually a commendable effort

as4s4hetic

what's wrong with it?

ASCII-only

as4s4hetic

11:38 AM

wait what's wrong with that

ASCII-only

It's all over the place

It's like even activity over the entire day

Do you even sleep O_o

Wen1now

It's not as bad as ffao's was

as4s4hetic

my life is a mess

oh wait, I talked here a lot when I was at dublin

ffao

my graph was almost a straight line lol

as4s4hetic

timezones

Wen1now

11:40 AM

Give me a name of a famous scientist/matematician over the last few centuries

ASCII-only

@Wen1now ???

Terence Tao

I'm sure Einstein/Hawking & friends count as well

And Neil Degrasse Tyson/Bill Nye :P

Does Margaret Thatcher count

ffao

I found my old graph

Sp3000

I didn't realise your graph had changed since that tbh :P

Wen1now

That is a massive improvement

ASCII-only

@ffao O_O

as4s4hetic

11:52 AM

I'm trying to mess up my sleep schedule

well no but I'm going to try the thing where you sleep twice a day for 4 hours each time

ASCII-only

@as4s4hetic You mean 6 times a day for 20 minutes each time

polyphasicsociety.com/polyphasic-sleep/overviews/uberman-2

as4s4hetic

@ASCII-only hm would that help me survive year 12

ASCII-only

<- did practically nothing in year 12

idk

ffao

<= also did practically nothing in year 12

but I did see most of my classmates go insane from doing exercises at home

I was usually just a leech and asked them how they solved them the next day before class

ASCII-only

<- did nothing in class lol

Mr. Xcoder

12:03 PM

<- Did something

ffao

some classes were so bad I used them to do exercises or sleep, but most were worth listening to

unlike university

ASCII-only

<- was programming in class almost 100% of the time (yes it was the worst idea)

ffao

the classes in university were so bad once a guy just took a joystick with him and started playing Zelda in the front row

Wen1now

Woah, those sleep cycles look interesting

Anyway, I gotta go to my 'monophasic' sleep now

as4s4hetic

goodnight

ASCII-only

12:06 PM

<- normally has 4h monophasic sleep a day (I don't think this is healthy lol)

John Dvorak

12:55 PM

I was going to contact pig latin, then found out my screen hadn't repainted. I love Firefox.

2 hours later…

Sid

2:48 PM

@as4s4hetic I Did so much in Year 12 that I got burned out at the end of it.

ASCII-only

3:26 PM

@Sid Aren't burnouts caused by stress though

Sid

Yes, they are.

And also due to doing too much work...
