wouldn't be a first.
 
@fbueckert Europe already did that. :P
 
I guess this is what happens when people just click Accept mindlessly without reading a damn thing!
 
@FEichinger Europe doesn't set precedent for North America, unfortunately.
 
@fbueckert Sure, but we don't have to give a flying about you guys in that regard. ;)
 
@badp To be fair, they dump enough legalese into those to obscure more or less everything, if you don't have a law degree.
@FEichinger True. If more companies were actually headquartered in Europe, it also might actually matter what Europe does. :P
 
7:02 PM
@fbueckert It's perfectly readable
 
@badp My eyes started glazing over about three words in on the excerpt you posted.
 
@fbueckert You don't need a law degree to understand it. You do, however, need one to challenge it.
 
It's readable, yeah, but it's stupidly wordy, just to cover all their bases.
 
I've had my fair share of legalese, and even I am having troubles determining whether or not - and to which extent - those clauses are valid here.
 
And notice how almost every single one of them has something to the effect of, "You're not allowed to sue us in the event that this isn't legal in your region. You have to use heavily biased third party arbitration."
 
7:04 PM
I wouldn't sue someone over a game anyway
 
@fbueckert Now you're just mixing up NDAs and EULAs.
 
Frivolous lawsuits are the best lawsuits.
 
@FEichinger I use the two interchangably, as they're always heavily one-sided.
 
@Sterno Just like Drama!
the more trivial the reason for the drama the better
 
@fbueckert And that is, frankly, bullshit. They serve very different purposes and their validity and the regulations placed on them are very different.
 
7:06 PM
@Wipqozn So true.
 
@FEichinger They all equate to, "You're only allowed to use this in the manner we say you can, and we reserve the right to sue you into oblivion if you look at us funny."
 
@fbueckert No. NDAs are very distinct in their purpose and their extent.
 
@FEichinger Not the ones I've read.
 
@fbueckert I doubt that very much.
 
engliush motherfucker
do you speak it
 
7:08 PM
@FEichinger They could be summed as, "Listen up, noob. You don't talk about this game. Ever. At all. We'll sue you if you do."
 
Alright. I'm enjoying my time writing this answer so I'm henceforth declaring that I won't post my answer before Raven Dreamer has summat to say.
 
@fbueckert Yes. And that's perfectly fine and the exact purpose of an NDA, but is has nothing to do with "if you look at us funny".
 
@FEichinger That, "We'll sue you if you do" is hedged with enough provisions and conditions that it amounts to, "We'll sue you if we feel like it, and there's nothing you can do about it."
 
CC Roguelike fans
 
7:11 PM
@fbueckert Now, now, it's not that bad.
 
@fbueckert I have yet to see an NDA that does that.
 
@Sterno My favourite reason for drama is "I don't like the things you like and that makes me angry"
 
Yes, EULAs are heavily one-sided, boring and cover-your-own-ass-y by design and in general reading them makes you want to click on Reject
 
@Wipqozn Exactly. In other news, Bieber fans should be shot, amirite?
 
7:12 PM
but they usually aren't that bad
 
@Sterno Damn straight! Damn teenage girls.
 
Some are; usually those with an embedded "code of conduct" or "if you cheat you're out" terms or similar can be pretty prone to abuse
 
@Sterno ಠ_ಠ
 
Oh god, it's a meatstare.
 
@Wipqozn Speaking from a friend's experience - find out if the concert you are going to is by a band beloved by teenage girls before you (as a 30+ unaccompanied male) buy a ticket.
 
7:15 PM
@JasonBerkan A friend, right.
 
@Sterno Wouldn't that be a gnomestare?
 
@Wipqozn You bet. A friend, whom I refuse to name. For reasons.
 
@FEichinger I think we use meat for any not-Rob entities.
 
@GraceNote ??
 
@JasonBerkan You're just protecting your friend's identity, we respect that.
 
7:16 PM
@GraceNote But it's paper for @OrigamiRobot ... That doesn't work out.
 
In other news, I'm saddened. I've finished Retro City Rampage. There's none more of it left. IT'S OVER
I HAVE SEEN IT ALL
I HAVE HEARD IT ALL
 
@badp Come on, parrot speech.
 
@FEichinger Because PaperStare is not a thing people will randomly say, so it makes for a good keyword.
 
@JasonBerkan Does his name rhyme with Mason Jerkan?
 
@GraceNote And Rob(ot)Stare or MeatStare are?
My logic is superior. You can not win.
 
7:17 PM
@Wipqozn I plead the fift... dammit, I'm Canadian. I can't do that.
 
@JasonBerkan You can say, "I'm too polite to discuss the details."
 
THE RETRO CITY RAMPAGE PILE HAS STOPPED GETTING TALLER
 
@JasonBerkan So is Justin Bieber.
 
@FEichinger No, MeatStare is a thing because we needed something to distinguish us from him, and most folks being made of meat makes MeatStare an appropriate label to distinguish us from him since most folks are being made of meat.
It's not the antithesis to PaperStare, it's the antithesis to OrigamiRob.
 
Flame Was A Normal Hedgehog, Other Than His Otherworldly Fire Powers. But When He Hears About Sonic.Exe, Buried Alive Man, & Other Creepypas
 
7:19 PM
@GraceNote But then we could also arbitrarily decide a different keyword for non-Rob entities, since Rob chose an arbitrary one as well!
 
@FEichinger It would, but it doesn't invalidate the base MeatStare option. Hejudas, even a self-propelled piece of artillery as myself would be aptly meatstaring if the situation called for it and I actually posted that kind of thing in these chat channels more than twice or thrice in the entire history of my time being here.
 
@GraceNote I thought it was just Fredley because he's actually meat.
 
@Ullallulloo I can't concoct an elaborate and sensibly logical explanation for things if you prove me wrong on the base assumption!
 
@Ullallulloo (That's too easy. Come on, play along.)
 
For what it's worth, I've never known what the hell a meatstare is except it looked exactly like ಠ_ಠ and grows annoying quickly when @fredley and @kalina paste it back and forth repeatedly
But I know it has a name and it's name is meatstare!
 
7:23 PM
I actually think Ullallulloo might be right.
 
When a lump of meat and a pair of eyeballs like each other very very very much...
 
@GraceNote Of course he is. Arguing with you was just more fun.
 
@FEichinger Yarnit. I managed to convince myself before I could convince you, too!
 
@GraceNote lol
 
7:25 PM
Logic that is completely correct absent of the fact that it is completely wrong is one of the more fun forms of logic.
 
@GnomeSlice Am I the only one who's getting a 503 on that one?
 
Nope.

Q: How to use Obsidian with Minecraft 1.6.2?

TimtechI was wondering how I could use the client Obsidian with Minecraft. I am not sure why but the Minecraft Launcher gives me a new Minecraft every time. Any help please?

Q: What items can I get via Hunters for Hire?

OrigamiRobotHunters for Hire allows me to send NPCs out on a hunt while I do other things. It's a great way to get some extra monster parts, but can I get the same parts via Hunters for Hire that I could get if I did the hunt myself? For example, can I get a Brachydios Gem via Hunters for Hire?

 
Okay, great.
 
fix'd now
 
7:28 PM
@Lazers I totally read that as "What interns can I get"
 
That's just been happening a lot to me recently, so I thought I'd ask.
 
@GraceNote I tried to wait until you were about done.
 
@Ullallulloo I did hit logical completion, yes.
Thank you for that consideration. ♪
 
Huh, it didn't work?
 
Waddle Dee fixed it.

Did I kill the chat
Also is this bad
 
@GnomeSlice Yes, I am now OrizombieRobot. braaaaaaaaaaaaaiiins
 
@OrigamiRobot Do robots even need to eat?
 
Who said I was eating them?
 
Oh you just want to collect them.
That seems reasonable.
 
Not even that.
 
7:37 PM
 
I just want to say braaaaaaaaaaaaaiiins.
 
@Sterno I had a script to do it
I don't know if it's still here
MeatStare @Sterno
@Sterno ಠ_ಠ
Oh it is!
To invoke a MeatStare simply type MeatStare @victim
 
MeatStare @OrigamiRob
@fredley ಠ_ಠ
 
@StrixVaria That person must be present in the room, and you must use their full name I think
 
7:39 PM
It actually looks much better on GBA
 
MeatStare @OrigamiRobot
@OrigamiRobot ಠ_ಠ
 
@BenBrocka Also Mother 4
It's fan made, but still.
 
MeatStare @OrigamiRobot
 
@OrigamiRobot ಠ_ಠ
 
Wonder if it would have sold more and/or been localized if the 64 version were completed though
 
7:40 PM
MeatStaring @OrigamiRobot is encouraged
 
34 secs ago, by StrixVaria
MeatStare @OrigamiRobot
@fredley Your script is too robust.
 
@StrixVaria It's designed to be brittle, so it doesn't get abused like @OrigamiRobot's PaperStare
MeatStare @StrixVaria
@StrixVaria ಠ_ಠ
 
ಥ_ಥ
 
MeatStare @GnomeSlice
 
@GnomeSlice ಠ_ಠ
 
7:42 PM
This will work.
 
OH GOD WHAT IS HAPPENING
 
MeatStare
MeatStare @fredley
 
@GnomeSlice You fail at syntax
I cannot be MeatStared
 
why doesn't it work for me
ಥ_ಥ

I cannot be MeatStared

No man should have that power

MeatStare @OrigamiRobot

I cannot be MeatStared
@GnomeSlice You still fail at syntax
 
@fredley I know, that's not the point.
 
@OrigamiRobot It will only work with valid, full names
 
7:43 PM
MeatStare @dsjubbgr

@fredley I know, that's not the point.
 
@fredley How does it know?

@GnomeSlice MAGIC AND UNICORNS AND CODE

7:44 PM
Let's all ping @OrigamiRobot with every single message @OrigamiRobot
 
@OrigamiRobot Out of curiosity, what is the point?
 
@Ullallulloo To do it wrong.
 
@Ullallulloo To ping me to annoyance @OrigamiRobot
 
@Ullallulloo To ping him a million times like he did to me.
 
Well, it's more elaborate than that, but it boils down to that essentially.
 
7:44 PM
@fredley @OrigamiRobot I should write a script that automatically fills my blank chatbox with @OrigamiRobot
 
Everyone knows it's the 'look of disapproval', not meatstare or whatever the kids these days are calling it
 
@OrigamiRobot Okay, that's what I thought.
 
@fredley I'm unclear on how typing MeatStare @victim is less work than typing`@victim ಠ_ಠ`
 
@StrixVaria @OrigamiRobot
 
@Sterno Not everyone knows how to write that out easily.
 
7:45 PM
@Sterno Because I don't have ಠ on my keyboard
 
Meatstare @StrixVaria @fredley @GnomeSlice
 
@Sterno 1) they get pinged twice; 2) I don't have ಠ on my keyboard
 
@Sterno My keyboard has A through T keys, but not a ಠ key.
 
7:45 PM
Clearly you guys need an emoticon keyboard
 
The original PaperStare was written pretty much for people who don't have the haste to perform the task on their own, it's basically a shortcut to get the face.
 
MeatStare @Sterno
 
@Ullallulloo Nothing past T? How did you type "keyboard"?
 
Oh Noes it's borken
 
7:46 PM
I'm pretty sure at least one person actually used it just to get the letters and then consequently repasted the face at me in order to properly do it.
 
@GraceNote @OrigamiRobot's script was too lax, and open to abuse. MeatStare is stricter
 
@StrixVaria I type "leopard" and have it change certain instances of that to "keyboard".
 
@GraceNote Until @fredley pinged me a billion times with it trying to make me PaperStare myself. No matter how many times it didn't work.
 
@OrigamiRobot Which leads us back to how we are now.
 
7:47 PM
Meatstare @StrixVaria @fredley @GnomeSlice
 
@OrigamiRobot It did work if I PaperStared @OrigamiRob
 
@Sterno I can't see that and not think Boggle.
 
@Sterno Still no ಠ key.
 
@fredley No, then it would stare at you
 
@StrixVaria For that you would need a Kannada keyboard
@OrigamiRobot It would stare at me, stare at you, and piss you off, and rate limit you
It was great
You wrote a script to annoy yourself. Silly robot.
 
7:48 PM
@fredley No, it wouldn't rate limit
@fredley I didn't write it.
 
This is like Gilligan's Island
 
@GnomeSlice YOUR FACE IS LIKE GILLIGAN'S ISLAND
 
@Sterno Boggle Keyboard?
 
@fredley I was annoyed by the constant pings, not the script triggering
 
@OrigamiRobot Pings annoy you???
 
7:49 PM
glorious mute
 
@fredley Not right now as I have no sound.
 
@BenBrocka WHAT?
 
Meatstare @StrixVaria @fredley @GnomeSlice
 
@OrigamiRobot Each ping will rise again as a notification at some arbitrary point in the future
 
@fredley Not really.
 
7:49 PM
@BenBrocka @fredley @OrigamiRobot @GnomeSlice @StrixVaria @GraceNote @Sterno @Ullallulloo @FEichinger @badp @Krazer @Wipqozn @fbueckert @JasonBerkan @RedRiderX @Blem @TrentHawkins @SaintWacko

As long as I am here to see the ping
 
@fredley Only if you're not in chat
 
@StrixVaria Hush.
 
@StrixVaria Flagged as too awesome.

7:50 PM
@StrixVaria ಠ_ಠ
 
Did that ping?
 
@fredley Quote doesn't ping.
 
:-(
 
I am the king of stupid chat rooms.
 
@StrixVaria I didn't get pinged
 
7:50 PM
MeatStare @GnomeSlice
 
@GnomeSlice ಠ_ಠ
 
@StrixVaria WHO WAKETH ME AND WHENCEFOR
 
@fredley You know what be amazing.
 
@badp We're pinging @OrigamiRobot to annoy him
 
DOST THOU REQUIRE ME ATTENTION SO THAT THOU CAN BANNEST THOUSELF
 
7:51 PM
@Blem Fixed?
 
@GnomeSlice What?
 
@fredley If everyone used the script so that when someone got meatstared, EVERYONE ಠ_ಠ'd them.
 
@badp You need to ban @fredley for annoying scripts like you did me.
 
@StrixVaria thats better
 
@OrigamiRobot I'm not annoying any scripts
 
7:51 PM
@fredley You're annoying my scripts.
 
@OrigamiRobot SIR I BELIEVE THAT YOUR RECOLLECTIONS OF ME "DOING" THOU ART VERILY FALSE
 
also I thought your script were off
 
@StrixVaria I think your plan to stop getting pinged is backfiring.
 
@Ullallulloo I had no such plan.
 
7:53 PM
@badp It is, but now there is MeatStare
 
@fredley Congraturation!
 
MeatStare @badp
@badp ಠ_ಠ
 
@badp That's offensive.
 
@StrixVaria Oh, I confused you with the other robot.
 
I'm being throttled
 
7:54 PM
You wrote that manually! That's so obvious
 
@badp Nah it posted automagically, but was throttled
 
OBVIOUS FAKE IS OBVIOUS
 
I'm going to make dinner, CHECKMATE @BADP
 
'sides why even post "MeatStare", just change it in your text box before sending

@FAE He was suspended for making his bot reply to every single mention of "focus", "productivity" or other keywords with a random unrelated link to TvTropes (he literally used the random link service)

7:55 PM
Meatstare is a stupid word
 
@badp Other people can invoke
 
It's not even proper
 
I say
 
@SaintWacko Are the amount of battletowers toned down in hexxit or is it battletowers everywhere?
