Minecraft Talk

Surprisingly, googling for "poultry" or "chicken" in combination with "ethanol" to fact-check if they would even care brings up a lot of people whining that their grilled chicken get more expensive due to bio-ethanol fuel production raising.

Kevin van der Velden

Uuh they'd probably die rather fast, ethanol is a pretty deathly poison =p

It's just that humans are pretty good at not getting killed by it

Arperum

@kalina This, I just can't be found with my real name. All you find is a whole list of other people who have the same name. Including some companies with that name.

kalina

it's actually really easy to find me on google, using the right terms

Martin Sojka

From little what was actually on-topic, it seems that they accept up to 5% solution just fine. So you can feed them with beer, I guess.

kalina

10:04 AM

have there been any decent games in the last year btw

Kevin van der Velden

I'm still stuck on dota and minecraft

I've heard good things about the new dragon age

Martin Sojka

Banished is pretty good.

Arperum

If you like the civ games: civ beyond earth is not terrible.

kalina

I played Banished before banishing myself

Arperum

And Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is a lot of fun too.

kalina

10:05 AM

never liked boi

Martin Sojka

@Arperum Well, I saw "Let's Plays" of it and decided to play some more SMAC instead.

kalina

haven't played dragon age 1 and 2

Martin Sojka

ESO is surprisingly still not free-to-play.

Arperum

@MartinSojka I played it for half a game, it was not half bad, but my concentration for TBS is too low lately.

kalina

in order for me to be willing to buy another civ game, it would need to be significantly better than civ5

Kevin van der Velden

10:07 AM

It's not

kalina

so there haven't been any good games released in 2014

Kevin van der Velden

It's basically the same except no historical context and you can put down sattelites

kalina

as gamers, can you tell me what the hell gamersgate was about?

ratchet freak

LBP3 came out

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina according to the gamersgate people about ethics! I don't believe those people

kalina

10:08 AM

people who complain about ethics rarely care about ethics

Kevin van der Velden

From what I've seen it's about not having those icky girls play games

kalina

I've tried to retroactively look into it and the best I could come up with was the "modern definition of feminism" vs "people who don't want it"

I will be honest and say I didn't spend too much time looking into it though

actually "people who don't want it" probably isn't fair

Kevin van der Velden

From what I've seen that's pretty accurate but I tried to ignore it as well

kalina

I try to ignore any instance of the modern definition of feminism

but I've had large portions of the year where I haven't even been online, so I'm out of the loop

Kevin van der Velden

It was mostly a giant mess with a lot of hate and threats being thrown over the divide and not a lot of sense being made

Martin Sojka

10:13 AM

@kalina A hell of a lot of things. I'm in it mainly because I can't stand media synchronisation and censoring of differing opinions by any means, but then I wouldn't mind to burn Gawker and their ilk to the ground either.

kalina

you know, if you use the internet less and less over time

when you do use the internet, it's far more obvious how toxic humanity is to each other

I'm not saying it's specific to the internet, there's plenty of real harassment

the internet just seems to amplify it

ratchet freak

it's the GIFT of the internet (warning tvtropes link)

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina jeah, face to face people usually at least have some base impulse to cooperate

kalina

@KevinvanderVelden some people, anyway

Kevin van der Velden

Usually =p

Jochem

10:19 AM

this is semi appropriate... though I think the gamergate side approaches full asshole saturation: smbc-comics.com/?id=2939

Kevin van der Velden

Yeah pretty much

Martin Sojka

One of the reasons the GamerGate Harassment Patrol exists. Identify, isolate and shut down people who are in it for the harassment of others only. Too bad that only really works for Twitter.

kalina

so, I chose the right year to stop wasting my life on the internet and do something else instead

Kevin van der Velden

Pretty much

You've missed much, but most if it was worth missing.

Jochem

definitely yeah

Martin Sojka

10:23 AM

The last three months weren't a very productive time indeed. And I think the next half year will be much of the same, really.

ratchet freak

and some things you can come into late and still enjoy them

kalina

@MartinSojka I'm likely not to be "back" within this timeframe anyway

it will take me at least another couple of years to achieve what I'mi trying to do

Martin Sojka

@kalina Sounds serious. Good luck.

kalina

at the moment it's not all that serious

it's just lots of long hours, lots of earache and lots of travelling

it's overall easier than I expected, so far

Kevin van der Velden

I wanna ask what it is but you probably don't wanna say so I'm just gonna be curious in silence =p

(Unless you have text to speech =p)

kalina

10:28 AM

I certainly don't text to speech

Kevin van der Velden

Then my in silence stands! Yeah

ratchet freak

doesn't windows come with narrator out of the box

Kevin van der Velden

Yes

I wonder how that works with chat... hmmm

OH GOD IT IS SAYING ALL THE THINGS

kalina

if you let your cat walk across your keyboard, I guarantee that it will be activated

it could be win key + N

who knows

Kevin van der Velden

I do, I just pressed win key+N

And it didn't start

Also narrator doesn't work at all with chat, it just says the title name of the application

ratchet freak

10:31 AM

and if you select the text?

kalina

who linked tvtropes to me?

Kevin van der Velden

Ratchet

@ratchetfreak nothing

kalina

thanks @ratchetfreak, literally just wasted the rest of my day

it's gone, hidden by 200 tabs

Kevin van der Velden

RIP: @kalina's day

ratchet freak

don't say I didn't warn you

Kevin van der Velden

10:33 AM

Edit your hosts file so that tvtropes.org points to something nonexistant

Martin Sojka

@kalina

@-moz-document domain("tvtropes.org") { #container { display: none !important; } body::before { content: "GO BACK TO WORK!"} }

kalina

oh

this isn't about getting in the way of work

I have no work to do until tomorrow

unfortunately my stable flight path was knocked off course by visiting the DMZ a few weeks ago

and I've somehow degenerated into using chat on a daily basis again

and from chat, comes tvtropes, ponies, gaming, news, IT discussions, etc etc etc etc

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina

@-moz-document domain("chat.stackexchange.com") { #container { display: none !important; } body::before { content: "GO BACK TO WORK!"} }

kalina

no, I have more willpower than that

this is a momentary lapse

I am going to read all of these tvtropes tabs

Kevin van der Velden

Aight :)

kalina

10:37 AM

because otherwise I didn't finish something I started

and that sets a bad precedent

ratchet freak

see you next week

kalina

I have recovered from my tab overlflow

now you've got me going through xkcd again

again

Arperum

10:52 AM

@ratchetfreak Not even what-if. pfuh.

Kevin van der Velden

Oh btw everyone who plays on the server. The new dw20 pack is live, sometime this weekend (probably) I'll look for updates to the added mods we have so we can update to the newer pack.

If there are suggestions for more mods now would probably be a good time =p (I'm kinda voting for a forcefield mod, even if just to see if I can build a power supply that provides enough power for a forcefield around the entire castle.)

Martin Sojka

Big Reactors is on it, so the answer is "likely yes, and rather quickly too".

Kevin van der Velden

Aah but that's been nerfed! =p

Martin Sojka

IIRC only in that it consumes more fuel now.

kalina

anyway(!)

I really have no business being in here so I will leave you to your mining and crafting

Kevin van der Velden

11:07 AM

You're welcome here as far as I'm concerned =p

kalina

♥

Kevin van der Velden

But have fun with the tvtropes :)

And good luck on your mysterious projects

kalina

I'm escaping the tv tropes

if I'm anywhere on SE, I'll be in the DMZ

12:19 PM

@KevinvanderVelden Not me!

Kevin van der Velden

@JeffreyLin good, you're banned from doing anything with chickens

user43095

You've said that quite a few times now.

Kevin van der Velden

I'm trying to make it a meme

ratchet freak

You don't make something a meme, something becomes a meme all on its own

Arperum

12:57 PM

@KevinvanderVelden How many ways to crash the server have you found this morning?

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum none?

I did make... 11 wand foci or so

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden Lies! You find some new and overpowered way every day.

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum yes, but not to crash. Also I haven't played much cause work

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden SHush. I was poking at established memes here.

Kevin van der Velden

Bleh, I kinda want to buy the t-shirt Soaryn is selling

But 12$ shipping

Arperum

1:03 PM

@KevinvanderVelden What shirt?

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum teespring.com/twitch/…

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden What is so special about them aside from the part where they have his name printed on them?

(I have one with my own name +awesome painting/digitally made depiction of me)

ratchet freak

@Arperum you send part of the profit to soaryn

Arperum

@ratchetfreak That is a valid reason.

Kevin van der Velden

That

I also said kinda want, I'm not sure yet xp

ratchet freak

1:10 PM

maybe cheaper to commision the shirt yourself and donate the rest to soaryn directly

Unionhawk

3:50 PM

How the hell did I summon... Okay. Whatever.

Kevin van der Velden

19 hours ago, by Unionhawk

Ah true. I am doing a kalina style of chat right now.

Unionhawk

Yeah but how the hell did that cause a summoning

Kevin van der Velden

User scripts, that or magic I'd say

Unionhawk

Yes the obvious answer is there's a userscript scanning thee transcript of all rooms

This is not out of the question

@kalina IT'S TRUE AND YOU KNOW IT

kalina

now look what you did

I hope you're happy

Unionhawk

4:00 PM

Meh

What if I'm not happy?

kalina

I have a script that frequently checks for messages with kalina in them

but today, I have wasted the entire day chatting on chat.crackexchange.com

Unionhawk

I KNEW IT

kalina

I'm going again now!

BYE

Kevin van der Velden

Bye!

Unionhawk

6:12 PM

Do we have a crystals symbol?

If not, I guess trans-dimensional systems of that scale are probably not a good idea huh

Let's go with the original plan of "spawning them and killing them in the same spot"

Ooo... I need to make a tesseract!

WOOT

/r/perfectfit

Unionhawk

6:38 PM

clearly this room was meant to be a wither skeleton spawner room

Kevin van der Velden

8:08 PM

Welp, wish me luck. I just researched Ichor (which is forbidden knowledge (Taboo))

Also, uuh @Vandammetje, you may want to not use the tome of knowledge sharing anymore

Unless you have a lot of armor to survive the bosses that have spawned before I use this discovery

Unionhawk

You kids and your warp

I always find it hilarious when I use the phrase "you kids" because with one exception you guys are older than I am

Kevin van der Velden

You're... 22 right?

Unionhawk

Close but too high (20)

No I'm not kidding

Yes I'm serious

Kevin van der Velden

I know you are

Vandammetje

8:27 PM

@KevinvanderVelden Griefing like a suicidebomber; runs inside someone's base, use tome of knowledge.

Kevin van der Velden

@Vandammetje could work

But not really cause that's not how warp works =p

Unionhawk

"HERE HAVE THIS WARP EVERYONE ELSE" uses it, gets bad warp on self

I never touched ichor stuff. Too expensive to be worth it

Too much work

Kevin van der Velden

Now making ichor, wish me luck!

It's not that bad, nether star, nether shard, end shard, diamond and enderpearl for 8... wait that's pretty bad actually

Unionhawk

Nether stars aren't bad, really

It's just too much work mostly

Kevin van der Velden

The shards are pretty rare drops from mobs in their respective dimensions

Unionhawk

8:31 PM

Yes, we're at the point in the game where nether stars are not bad

Yes, the shards are bad

Kevin van der Velden

As in, I got 10 ender heads and 2 ender shards

Unionhawk

Let's get out of that mode of chat shall we?

Yes, we shall

@KevinvanderVelden Yeeeeah

It's pretty bad

Do you need to do it in the end/nether, I guess?

And I assume it has to be a player kill>

Anyway, that's annoying. But, meh. I only get the tools I like in Thaumcraft. If it's that deep in research, I usually don't care enough.

And I am NOT giving myself THAT much warp

I used a cheat book in my test world... And... that test world is no more

Enough warp for eldritch stuff and that's plenty for me

I'll probably be on later to get a wither skeleton spawner up and running. Lots of steps for that whole system

I think I have enough stuff to make another dedicated cleaver for that, which will be good to have.

Unionhawk

9:07 PM

Hmm... research the prerequisites of the corporeal attractor, use fans... hrm...

Vandammetje

9:29 PM

@KevinvanderVelden All geared up with fully upgraded power armor and needle gun, check

Closed room to prevent contamination of the overworld, check.

Activating knowledge tome, check

Kevin van der Velden

It does not spawn them when using the book~

It spawns them randomly when you have enough warp

Vandammetje

... nothing happening, lame! =(

owh

you could have said that before

Arperum

@Vandammetje FOREVER DOOMED

Kevin van der Velden

1 hour ago, by Kevin van der Velden

But not really cause that's not how warp works =p

Also, the last time I explained how it did work =p

Vandammetje

@KevinvanderVelden That doesnt say anything!

@KevinvanderVelden And I only understand half of what you say, usually.

@Arperum I'm living with @KevinvanderVelden, I was doomed from the start. xd

2

Kevin van der Velden

9:31 PM

@Vandammetje That does not surprise me

Vandammetje

@KevinvanderVelden What is that supposed to mean!

Kevin van der Velden

@Vandammetje that sometimes I say "Hey, don't do this" and then you go and do that thing

Vandammetje

@KevinvanderVelden Not everyone is an evil wizard like you who knows not to toy with things that could kill you

Kevin van der Velden

@Vandammetje well I'd hope you know not to toy around with such things, it's recognizing the things that's the real trick

Vandammetje

@KevinvanderVelden You mean like a sign which says things like "Danger, no exit"? How am I supposed to know that's dangerous? It's like a cake with a sign saying "don't eat".

Kevin van der Velden

9:38 PM

Exactly, except there are no cakes in this world so meh D:

Anyway, bed~~

Unionhawk

BRB HOOKING A CAKE UP TO AN UPDATE SWITCH WITH EXPLOSIVES

Vandammetje

I've seen cake, in dungeons. At least I think I saw, just before I got killed.

Unionhawk

Oh of course it's a thing

Man

Vandammetje
