diversi.nu

that has the potential to be important

Sterno

Free pizza for lunch.

Now I'll be eating pizza until there is no more pizza. Damn you, free pizza.

Unionhawk

free pizza best pizza

Good thing I went to help get this guy from a different office set up on our web app. He was using Chrome and for whatever reason, and for whatever reason click to run is being weird in Chrome on our app (i.e. it doesn't work and you have to instead use the right-click dialog)

Martin Sojka

@DwarfSlice Tried to sign up to the petition. Got deleted.

DwarfSlice

16:11

@MartinSojka worked for me.

Martin Sojka

@DwarfSlice Try (truthfully) signing with "GamerGate" as your organisation - I know that many did.

Powerlord

@Sterno jealous

Wipqozn

@MartinSojka Any idea why?

DwarfSlice

@MartinSojka that would be why you got deleted

Statistical Analysis of GamerGate Tweets. Results show about what you'd expect, unless you're still trying to support that so-called 'movement'.

Martin Sojka

@DwarfSlice Why, because I'm honest?

Unionhawk

16:13

yes that's totally why

DwarfSlice

Also gamergate is not an organization.

I wonder if I put in 'butts' if it would delete me too.

Blem

Martin Sojka

@DwarfSlice Neither are many things people put in that field, like "Gamer".

DwarfSlice

@MartinSojka true

Martin Sojka

@DwarfSlice Discussion about that is still not allowed here, IIRC. Thus I'm just discussion the web site/petition you linked.

Sterno

16:15

I'm wondering why anyone is still arguing about whether or not the name "GamerGate" is toxic at this point

murgatroid99

@DwarfSlice medium.com/@cainejw/…

Unionhawk

@MartinSojka @badp has allowed it

Frank

@JasonBerkan Why do you have Steam installed at work?

Unionhawk

@Frank You don't?

Frank

@Unionhawk Why would I?

Tim Stone

@JasonBerkan shakes fist at @FAE

Jason Berkan

@Frank To play games at lunch time.

Unionhawk

16:23

Reasons?

Frank

@JasonBerkan I read books.

Jason Berkan

I read on the bus to and from work.

Sterno

@Wipqozn And you didn't inform me immediately?

Wipqozn

@Frank That's what I've been doing lately.

Wipqozn

16:24

@Sterno It's a well established fact that I'm a terrible person.

Tim Stone

@Frank The worst part about working from home

Frank

@JasonBerkan I drive home. It's less than ten minutes, so it wasn't worth trying to bus it.

@TimStone Yeah, keeping on task is troublesome.

Koviko

@StackExchange How long did this one take?

Frank

@Wipqozn Mistborn are such good books.

Jason Berkan

@Frank My commute is short (< 15 minutes), but parking downtown is a nightmare, so the bus is actually easier.

DwarfSlice

16:25

Reimagined illustrations of classic Disney characters

fredley

@Koviko That would be a tedious, yet highly pleasing set of data to explore

Frank

@JasonBerkan Yeah, when I was working downtown, I did the same. We had a parking area, and for those days where I had to travel to the client, I drove in.

DwarfSlice

Yuuki

@DwarfSlice Oh good. These aren't one of those "I'm drawing them all edgy and dark because I'm all hipster and ironic".

Koviko

@DwarfSlice I thought "Link" before "Peter Pan"

DwarfSlice

16:27

@Koviko Link isn't Disney

Unionhawk

I AM NOT A DISNEY CHARACTER

Yuuki

@Koviko The feather in the cap (and the fact that he's flying) kinda signify Peter Pan.

Koviko

@DwarfSlice waaaat

Yuuki

At least, Disney's Peter Pan.

Koviko

The first thing I saw was the green and he little glowy pixie. In Zelda, the pixie just looks like a glowy orb. So I thought it was glowy-orb-pixie at first.

Matt Эллен

16:28

@Yuuki especially with tinkerbell in his hand

fredley

@Unionhawk You are a triforce.

Yuuki

@MattЭллен Tinkerbell could be mistaken for Navi or Tatl.

Unionhawk

Damn you @spugsley now I can't stop watching that video (YOU KNOW WHICH ONE)

DwarfSlice

More of his work

Yuuki

In that picture at least.

DwarfSlice

16:28

great stuff

Unionhawk

@fredley I'm not even going to dignify that one with a response.

Wait, shit

DwarfSlice

Koviko

@Yuuki Yeah, when I picture Tinkerbell, she has details and distinct character features. Generic glowy orb is Link's pixie thing to me.

DwarfSlice

dope

Koviko

Which I'm sure also has a name.

Unionhawk

16:29

ಠ_ಠ

Koviko

I wan to say kokiri, but I think that's what link is? I dunno.

Matt Эллен

@Yuuki very true.

Yuuki

@Koviko Kokiri are the forest people.

Link is a Hylian.

DwarfSlice

@Koviko Navi

Yuuki

And Navi is a fairy. They don't have special names, IIRC.

Unionhawk

16:30

Nope. Depending the game, you have Navi, Tatl, and Ciela

DwarfSlice

Or Tatl if you're playing Majora's Mask

Unionhawk

(OoT, MM, and PH, respectively)

Koviko

Navi is the one that sounds the most familiar.

Yuuki

@DwarfSlice Or Tael if you're playing Majora's Mask and you're Skull Kid!

Koviko

Does Navi actually look humanoid, or is she just an orb?

DwarfSlice

16:31

can anybody recommend some animes that feature flashy stylish robots and/or big guns and swords like new megaman

Koviko

A winged orb.

Unionhawk

Nope, Navi isn't humanoid

The humanoid companions are Midna and Fi

And I guess KORL

sort of

Koviko

Unionhawk

He's more a boat

But he's technically a dude too

Koviko

I should probably play one of these Zelda games one day.

Maybe Mario, too.

Unionhawk

16:32

not sure if serious

Koviko

._.

DwarfSlice

anybody?

Yuuki

@DwarfSlice Flashy stylish robots and/or big guns and swords describes like almost every giant robot anime out there.

DwarfSlice

@Yuuki names pls

Yuuki

Although if you're looking for super extremely over-the-top stuff, I'd suggest Gurren Lagann.

Powerlord

16:33

@Koviko Metroid.

Koviko

I played Super Smash Bros. So technically, I've played Zelda and Mario.

Unionhawk

No, not technically

That does not count

Koviko

And Metroid and Starfox.

Frank

DwarfSlice

@Yuuki Is that available in English?

Koviko

16:33

@Unionhawk Hm.

Frank

Such a bad drug, and yet, still profitable!

\o/

DwarfSlice

@Frank Big pharma?

Powerlord

So... using the MSVC Version Selector from 2013. On a 2010 project. With VS 2010 also installed. Will open it in 2013 and try to upgrade the project.

DwarfSlice

Is that even out yet?

Koviko

@Frank I don't know what this is, but that seems like a lot of anal leakage.

Yuuki

16:34

@DwarfSlice Should be. It's a pretty famous anime so it's bound to have a fansub if it doesn't have a dub.

murgatroid99

@Yuuki Seconded. That is one of my favorite shows

DwarfSlice

@Yuuki how would I go about finding said dub

murgatroid99

@DwarfSlice crunchyroll.com/gurren-lagann

DwarfSlice

@Koviko bigpharmagame.com

murgatroid99

I think that's the dub

DwarfSlice

16:35

@murgatroid99 thanks, crunchyroll will be perfect.

Trying to find some stuff for a family friend with aspergers to get into

she loves new megaman

like it's literally all she ever wants to talk about

what about this evangelion show, is that on crunchyroll?

I can't find it

murgatroid99

@DwarfSlice It used to be on the official Gainax YouTube channel, but they took it down for some reason

Yuuki

@DwarfSlice It's good. Don't watch it.

It's classic Gainax mindf--kery.

DwarfSlice

I don't kno what that means

Yuuki

cc @FAE

Frank

@Koviko Screenshot from BigPharma.

Supposed to come out in May 2015.

Yuuki

16:37

Actually, do watch it. Then me and @FAE can enjoy your existential agony.

DwarfSlice

2 mins ago, by DwarfSlice

@Koviko http://www.bigpharmagame.com/

definitely one of my more anticipated games

Yuuki

@DwarfSlice Gainax, the animation studio that created Evangelion, is pretty famous for great anime, endings that make your brain implode, and running out of money before they finish the series.

DwarfSlice

@Yuuki I'm not looking for me.

Yuuki

Those last two may or may not be related.

DwarfSlice

what about Argevollen

Unionhawk

16:38

brain implosion best implosion

DwarfSlice

somebody recommended that one too

Yuuki

Can't say anything about that, haven't seen it.

Another good giant robot series is Macross Frontier, although that's on the recommendation of one of my friends.

DwarfSlice

yay macross

I only know about that because robotech

@Yuuki The only stuff of theirs I've seen is Gurren Lagann and End of Evangelion

DwarfSlice

16:40

also I've nevr watched it but I had the gamecube game

Unionhawk

so the rest of you have to suffer with me

DwarfSlice

where can I find evangelion

Matt Эллен

I bought a copy on amazon

Yuuki

@DwarfSlice How old is this family friend?

Wipqozn

@DwarfSlice I suggest Mistborn.

DwarfSlice

16:40

22

@Wipqozn Is that a show?

Matt Эллен

or was it ebay?

Yuuki

@DwarfSlice I think it's a book.

Wipqozn

@DwarfSlice No, it's a novel.

DwarfSlice

She won't be interested.

Yuuki

Called it!

DwarfSlice

16:41

She doesn't read.

She doesn't watch TV either

but I'm trying to find stuff anyway

Wipqozn

@DwarfSlice You should read it.

Unionhawk

@Wipqozn NO U... wait no that doesn't work at all does it.

DwarfSlice

how many fucken macross series are there

the hell

Yuuki

@DwarfSlice A... lot?

It's kinda like Gundam in that regard.

DwarfSlice

that means nothing to me

what about Galaxy Angel is that flashy

I played the dating sim on newgrounds but other than that I know nothing about the series

3

Frank

16:45

@Yuuki I loved Macross Frontier.

DwarfSlice

seems like her kind of thing though

murgatroid99

@Wipqozn Yeah, those books are great. I've read all of the cosmere books

Wipqozn

@murgatroid99 I'm only on book 2 of Mistborn. First time I've read anything by Sanderson.

DwarfSlice

anybody?

Yuuki

I don't know anything about Galaxy Angel.

DwarfSlice

16:46

nvm it's comedy

also apparently has official dating sims

so it's a chick flick

Yuuki

I'm trying to think of giant robot anime, but I keep coming up with despair-tastic ones that probably wouldn't be a good idea.

DwarfSlice

> The story is about a group of women and girls who go on government-sponsored humanitarian missions as the Angel Troupe (Angel-tai) to search for Lost Technology, generally a plot device to set up amusing and absurd humor typical of the show, rife with obscure Japanese puns. Many of the devices look like extremely mundane objects like sticks or rice cookers, but have fantastic powers like mutating organisms or as destructive weapons.

k

murgatroid99

@Wipqozn All of his stuff is good. Elantris, Stormlight Archive, Warbreaker, and The Emperor's Soul all share a universe with Mistborn

Yuuki

Eureka Seven?

Granted, it's half giant robot, half love story.

Maybe two-thirds love story.

DwarfSlice

I have enough I think

thanks

Rapitor

16:52

finally meetings of the day over... what's goin on bridge

Yuuki

@Rapitor Giant robots.

Rapitor

neat.

Wipqozn

@murgatroid99 Stormlight is the next Sanderon series I plan to read.

Rapitor

gurren lagann best robots

Wipqozn

@murgatroid99 After Mistborn I plan to read Name fo the Wind, then Stormlight.

DwarfSlice

16:55

what is the .hack anime like?

Blem

never got more than a couple of epsodes in to it, it was ok

Rapitor

@DwarfSlice eh, imo.

just eh

Yuuki

@Rapitor I maintain that Gurren Lagann is so over-the-top ridiculous because the animators were recovering from Evangelion.

DwarfSlice

also wtf viewtiful joe had an anime?

Viewtiful Joe (anime)

Viewtiful Joe (ビューティフルジョー, Byūtifuru Jō) is a anime series based on the video game series of the same name. The series follows a similar plot of the games, but there are many differences. The series, comprising fifty-one episodes, was shown every Saturday on the Japanese television station TV Tokyo from October 2, 2004 until September 24, 2005. The show was licensed by anime distributor Geneon Entertainment, with its first twenty-six episodes airing in United States on Kids' WB. It was taken off the air when Kids' WB block transferred to The CW. Viewtiful Joe was later licensed for distribution...

Yuuki

@DwarfSlice I thought Viewtiful Joe started as an anime?

DwarfSlice

16:56

all the wat

@Yuuki ...no

Rapitor

@Yuuki the studio had nothing to do with the writing.

Yuuki

Never mind, "based on the game".

murgatroid99

@Yuuki That's the story I've heard too. That the tone is a reaction to the tone of Evangelion

Newly Opened Proposals for Entertainment

Psychology

Proposed Q&A site for the people who want to know about mental functions and behaviour of a person. Psychology has an immediate goal of understanding individuals by both establishing general principles and researching specific cases, it ultimately aims to benefit society.

Currently in definition.

Yuuki

@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment Well, that's really oddly timed.

Koviko

16:57

@DwarfSlice Think of how RPers interact in an MMO. The characters are basically like that.

Rapitor

i've actually been rewatching gurren lagann again.
