I still haven't decided what I think about it yet.

Arperum

remebers his first version of a selfmade game

Chippies

@Arperum Warframe had no fps limit in menu until a recent update

GnomeSlice

Will have to listen to it more once I get my real internet back.

Arperum

@Chippies Minecraft forgot to add the limit in the multiplayer menu for a looooong time.

fredley

@Arperum Hmmm. Portal 2 might have to suffice

FAE

8:00 PM

@GnomeSlice I'll check it out sometime. Those are some... interesting tags on it.

GnomeSlice

@FAE shredding

Fluttershy

@GnomeSlice That's a real thing.

FAE

tech-noir was the one I was kind of >>-ing at

Fluttershy

I like how it has all those fancy tags, and then... Seattle.

FEichinger

Well, that was one hell of a series opener. (Not going to spoil it, of course.)

FAE

8:09 PM

@Fluttershy That made me laugh too, though I do see its utility in people looking for local bands and stuff.

fredley

@FEichinger Doctor Who?

FEichinger

@fredley Yeah.

fredley

@FEichinger I couldn't watch it, it was cringey

GnomeSlice

@Fluttershy Bandcamp automatically adds your location as a tag.

FEichinger

@fredley It was a bit full of references, but other than that I think it backed away from 11's direction quite a lot. Which is good.

GnomeSlice

8:12 PM

My chiptune album is tagged with ottawa

@Fluttershy It's still funny.

Arperum

Whoop! Next friday I'm going to a festival and I got a free ticket (normal price ~50 euro) And it seems it's a press ticket o_O the week after I was offered the ticket, they asked me if I could write some review of one of the shows. And more is always better of course...

fredley

@FEichinger They tried to do way too much, I had no idea what was going on

FEichinger

@fredley It got quite a bit better later on. But it was supposed to be all over the place at the start. The usual confusion after regeneration.

Arperum

this is one of the bands that is going to play (bagpipes + metal = awesome)

GnomeSlice

Sick, I just won a free cruise to the Bahamas

seems legit

fredley

8:16 PM

@FEichinger I see. Maybe I'll go back to it.

Chippies

@GnomeSlice did it come with a free penis enlargement pill as well?

fredley

@GnomeSlice With all the lonely ladies in your area?

FEichinger

@fredley It still leaves you with more questions than you went in with (especially in the last few scenes), but the episode's story comes together well after a while. And it has an absolutely brilliant way to tie it all together.

fredley

@FEichinger Ok. I'll try again later

Chippies

The creators of Adblock have conspired to make us all miss out on all the things we could have won on the internet, that way their chances to win increase!

fredley

8:19 PM

@Sterno is More Stars on github? Can I submit a pull request?

Sterno

@fredley No, but it's on the chrome store, and you can just, you know... open up the script and do whatever you want to it

I can reupload it to chrome

Probably. If I remember what page to go to for that

fredley

@Sterno Wanted to make it remember my preferences (using localStorage or something)

It annoys me that I have to keep hiding users every time I refresh the page

Sterno

It annoys me that Chrome makes userscripts hard to use

FEichinger

Not really hard to use.

Chrome was, before the Windows restrictions were put in place, the browser with the easiest way of installing and running userscripts.

Origami Robot

I disagree

(Just to add some drama)

Ktash

8:26 PM

@FEichinger Except most of the nice functionality was missing for developers, so it was even more pain to make

FEichinger

@OrigamiRobot urge to mod abuse the message rises

Ktash

@OrigamiRobot (Some drama for you)

Origami Robot

Oh yes, mod abuse me baby.

13

Sterno

@FEichinger Yes, it was. Not anymore

FEichinger

@Ktash Meh. I don't think I've actually run into many problems. The only thing that really bothers me is the store 'requirement', which isn't really a problem for my "you shouldn't be installing this if you don't know how to get around that restriction" philosophy.

It's a crappy move from Google, but it doesn't really affect me.

Sterno

8:29 PM

I don't want to have to figure out how to get around their restrictions to use my own damn userscripts

Unionhawk

It's still easy is you move to the dev build

Ktash

Greasemonkey makes it really easy these days :)

FEichinger

If you're writing userscripts, you should be running the thing in dev mode either way.

Sterno

@Unionhawk I can't use the dev build on my work machine.

murgatroid99

In chrome://extensions there's a developer mode checkbox

Origami Robot

@LessPop_MoreFizz @spugsley didn't like Moonshine Holler because she is silly, but loved the pan because it is the best.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@OrigamiRobot So what you are telling me is that @spugsley is a bad person, but not a terrible one.

Origami Robot

Basically

Unionhawk

@Sterno well that sucks

LessPop_MoreFizz

@OrigamiRobot Just wait until you get to the Safari episode of Beyond Belief.

Origami Robot

8:31 PM

"Do you want to fly around like that time a bee got in here" was a particular favorite line.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Sadie Listing Things is my favorite recurring joke.

(Closely followed by "I would/would not watch that tv show."

@OrigamiRobot The Bee Incident will come up again. Frank and Sadie are not scared of anything... except bees.

Origami Robot

@LessPop_MoreFizz That's a recurring thing?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@OrigamiRobot Yeah!

Origami Robot

Nice.

Sadie getting giddy about things is my favorite part.

CLOP CLOP CLOP CLOP

Fluttershy

Sadie is the best.

Paget Brewster also really spruced up Jefferson Reid for that one episode she was in.

LessPop_MoreFizz

8:35 PM

Shows that Sadie Would Not Watch Include: Vampire Law, The Leprechaun Report, Boy Detective Who Was Called To Testify A Lot, and Vampires Of A Certain Age.

spugsley

@LessPop_MoreFizz fair enough :3

ORIGAMIROBOT PARTAKES OF CLOPFIC: DATA ACCEPTED

spugsley

The bee thing killed me. I couldn't handle it

Fluttershy

Moonshine Holler is growing on me, but I'm still not a huge fan.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Fluttershy It wasn't an instant winner for me either.

More than anything, the one that has grown on me is Captain Laserbeam

Origami Robot

8:36 PM

Wait, is that being mistaken for a pony reference? Now I am sad.

Fluttershy

The Lottery episode was pretty decent though.

LessPop_MoreFizz

I got bored with it really fast, but the newer ones are amazing.

Fluttershy

@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm still struggling with that one... I'm not sure why.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Mostly because of Philip Fathom.

Origami Robot

I have pretty much skipped all the Tales from the Black Lagoon

LessPop_MoreFizz

8:37 PM

@Fluttershy Probably because it's so formulaic.

FEichinger

@OrigamiRobot It is hilariously fitting.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@OrigamiRobot I like those, but I can easily see why you wouldn't. They have a very different tone. (And are studio recordings!)

Origami Robot

They're so short and so boring :/

Fluttershy

@LessPop_MoreFizz What was the one you said spent more effort on the theme song than the actual contents of the show?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Fluttershy Tick Tock

Origami Robot

8:38 PM

@Fluttershy Colonel Tick Tock

I have literally forgotten everything about that one.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Which has also gotten better, since the introduction of his friends in the Algonqin Four.

Fluttershy

Ah. I thought that was it, since I finished one and thought it was pretty dull... but the songs were good. :P

LessPop_MoreFizz

(AKA, 1920's intellectual socialites turned into, literally, the Fantastic Four.)

Dorothy Parker is The Thing!

Q: swtor - any chance to stop automatic download

Is there any way to pause content/whatever download? I have traffic limit on my internet subscription and almost reached it and download status of the game is at 50%. I have the minimum amount downloaded so i can start playing...

swtor

Fluttershy

@spugsley I don't remember that from any of the ones I've played. x_x

user15026

@spugsley so my boss is a little pissed about my email to her about my lack of hours. Shje was like "well we overstaffed because person x is leaving in september" and I was like "that is not my problem, and you likely should have said something to the lot of us instead of just cutting our hours without communicating". So I think I might get more hours from here on out, but I have no idea, and I am still going to look for something that doesn't involve MMA fight nights til 1 am on the regular.

user15026

8:55 PM

Proud as hell for being like "yo this is not right" though

FAE

@spugsley I don't remember that either from the games I've played.

Arperum

@AshleyNunn Go you! Stand up for your rights!

user15026

@Arperum I am like "you hired me for full t ime, 26 hours is not that." now her and her bestie (who I also work with) are mad (because I know she talked it over with her) but whatever, nbd

Arperum

@AshleyNunn Yea, both sided have to fullfill the contract.

spugsley

@AshleyNunn good for you <3 :D

@FAE hmmm maybe it's an online game or a DLC thing. I've seen it referenced in several articles but they don't say where

user15026

9:00 PM

@Arperum Yeah, that was my understanding too. And like I know full time here is considered a range between 30-40 hours, so I was okay when I got 32 the one week but now it is like 26 each in the last two weeks I worked, and that is pretty close to you know, half the hours.

spugsley

Oh, it's five

"Grand Theft Auto 5 encourages this kind of behaviour. If you go to a strip club and pay for a private dance, it starts a mini-game where you have to touch and grope the dancer without getting seen by security."

@GnomeSlice ...no

Martin Sojka

@spugsley I only found this one from GTA5 (go to a strip club, pay for a lap dance, "grope" the performer enough while making sure that the bouncer doesn't catch you): ibtimes.co.uk/gta-5-strip-clubs-worrying-507677 - but I never played the game so can't confirm if it's real or fake or DLC ...

spugsley

@MartinSojka yup, I got it, thanks

GnomeSlice

@spugsley Silliest, then.

But I guess yeah you're right.

Arperum

@AshleyNunn Full time here is 38 hours, or 40, but then you get these two hours back as extra free days.

Martin Sojka

9:02 PM

@spugsley Best would be if someone who actually owns the game goes and checks if that mini-game is actually there as written.

LessPop_MoreFizz

►

user15026

@Arperum It's generally accepted that 40 hours is a full time job, but according to the law (and trust me I am so well versed in employment law here now) it is considered full time at 30+ and then you get any benefits and protections afforded to that

spugsley

@MartinSojka the trouble is finding someone who owns it. Hahaha. I think a lot of people are over GTA. But it's fine. I don't need that element. I've got enough other shit to write about

FAE

@spugsley Oh the strip club stuff, yeah, that's in GTA V.

GnomeSlice

I've only played one GTA game for like 3 minutes.

My dad got a bunch of PS2 games along with a PS2 he got from somebody locally and he wanted me to make sure they all worked.

Game starts, I get on my bike, ride down the sidewalk.

20 seconds later a big black dude comes up and punches me off the bike, takes my bike and rides off

It was stupid

user15026

9:11 PM

GTA games aren't really my thing. I played the DS one for a while but I mostly just got bored. But that's okay, my backlog is big enough as it is :P

FAE

DS one was the Chinatown one I think?

I can't remember

user15026

Yeah, that was the one

RedRiderX

9:44 PM

Should I bother watching the recent X-men series of movies?

I keep hearing people say that they are kind of terrible.

Ktash

@RedRiderX What? No, they are great. You mean First Class and Days of Future Past?

GnomeSlice

@RedRiderX You mean the prequel ones or whatever? Where they're all young?

First Class was pretty good

haven't seen the other one

RedRiderX

@Ktash Well I was thinking of just watching the whole current series of movies starting in 2000

Ktash

@RedRiderX Watch 1, maybe watch 2, skip the rest until First Class and Days of Future Past

RedRiderX

@Ktash Oh okay

Ktash

9:49 PM

3, Origins, and Wolverine are all really bad

imo

3 was so bad, that they even try to retcon it away in later movies

RedRiderX

So that's what I heard then

Wasn't DareDevil supposed to be awful too?

Ktash

Daredevil was terrible, yes

RedRiderX

That makes me sad

I hope the new DareDevil series is good

Ktash

Not as bad as Green Lantern, I think (I don't remember that well), but it was bad

@RedRiderX TV show, Movie, or comic?

Wait. MCU = Marvel Cinematic Universe?

RedRiderX

Wait what am I saying?

Daredevil (TV series)

Marvel's Daredevil, or simply Daredevil, is an upcoming live-action American television series developed by Drew Goddard, based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. It will be produced by Marvel Television and ABC Studios, distributed via the streaming service Netflix, and will be set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). It is the first in a series of shows that will lead up to a Defenders miniseries. Steven S. DeKnight will serve as showrunner for the series, with Goddard acting as consultant. Charlie Cox stars in the titular role. All episodes are set to premiere in May 2015. ...

No wait it is MCU

Ktash

9:54 PM

Ah, hmmm. I don't know. TV shows always make me uneasy. They just got the hang of movies

RedRiderX

Agents of Shield seemed okay.

Ktash

Never actually saw it

Wait, that's a whedon thing?

RedRiderX

The first episode was full on Whedon I think

Oh no I guess Whedon was on for the whole series.

Ktash

Hmm, now I may have to check it out

but he needs to stop doing other things and work on Dr Horribles 2. That's all I really want

FAE

@Ktash It takes a while to get good, honestly

and the writing's pretty uneven for a while

Ktash

10:02 PM

Ahh, dang

FAE

basically, you have to wait until it ties into Captain America 2

It's a pretty fun show, but yeah, it could've been better and I'm hoping they've learned for the second season

Ktash

So he should definitely quit that (with his brother and his brother's wife) and go finish DH2

Q: Defining visible area on console game display

Something I always wondered is: why do some games ask you to set the visible area of the display on HD consoles? Why do they have to do this? My HDTV is native 1080p, shouldn't automatically know the visible area to draw the game to and fit the game's viewport accordingly?

Q: How can I save a Rhino Tank in my hanger?

I want to steal (and not buy) a tank in GTA 5 Story Mode, and I want to keep it permanently. I read here that tanks can be saved in my hangar. I've managed to steal one from the military base and drive it all the way to the hangar. I of course have a 5 star wanted level by the time I get there. ...
