@fredley No, that part I skipped
 
user15026
Unless you count you lot
 
@AshleyNunn meow
 
@nwildner Is it this?
 
@Rapitor -1 not dads in space
 
5:03 PM
@GnomeSlice D:
 
@Rapitor This is real nice though
 
user70680
@GnomeSlice no, unfortunately. There is no "fake 3D" vision on this game...
 
@Rapitor Buh, why tasty no use bandcamp
WTB
 
because it's a free release on spotify?
 
whys it on beatport then
 
5:05 PM
 
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
@Rapitor It says you can download it on spotify but you cant
 
Apparently Sony is going to try turning Robotech into a live action movie series.
So, basically, Western Macross.
 
@Frank pls no.
 
Which I hope takes off; Macross is freaking awesome.
 
5:06 PM
@Frank WHAT
 
@Frank they are going to run out of money so fast
 
@MattGiltaji eh?
 
@fredley replied wrong, i'm crazy
 
HamStare @MattGiltaji
@MattGiltaji ಠ_ಠ
 
@MattGiltaji How so?
 
5:08 PM
@Frank the battle scenes don't come cheap
 
@MattGiltaji CG solves everything.
Also, there had better be a Macross Missile Massacre.
 
@Frank CG is still very expensive
 
"We need explosions. But the budget.. We can't budget all of those." Somewhere, Michael Bay stirs...
 
If you ever watch Macross Frontier, it's a gorgeous example of effects. It's so pretty.
But that said, if we can get a live action Transformers, we can definitely get a live action Macross.
 
Why did noboday said how awesome Tabletop Simulator and/or Cards Against Humanity is???
 
5:11 PM
@Serverfrog i feel that we did
 
We retired the F-14 in the US... Only ones still in active service are in the Iranian air force... Wonder where they'll get some for filming.
 
@MattGiltaji mhh damit.. 12/5 bridge time is not enough
 
Tabletop Simulator has all kinds of copyright infringing copies of great board games. I think CaH though is totally permissible under their CC license since the workshop module itself generates no profit
 
@MadMAxJr I didn't know the game itself really ^^" i heard of it but don't know what it really is
 
user15026
I am surprised TS hasn't gotten slammed six ways from Sunday for infringement
 
5:16 PM
@nwildner Wikipedia has a list of all the unlicensed titles for NES, there's only like 113
 
CaH is a horrible card game for horrible people.
 
user15026
@MadMAxJr That's why I like it
 
@AshleyNunn lots of copyright infringing stuff gets distributed through Steam Workshop. I'd bet that the games aren't directly liable for it somehow
 
@nwildner You could see if any of the names ring a bell wikiwand.com/en/List_of_Nintendo_Entertainment_System_games#/…
 
user70680
@Gnome
 
5:17 PM
@AshleyNunn They can only be sued for the stuff they create.
 
@MadMAxJr perfectly suited to the bridge
 
If others are creating the games on the platform, they aren't liable.
 
user15026
@Frank okay, maybe I wasn't really clear there - I meant more "why aren't they slamming the people who are throwing up all the unlicensed stuff"
 
The only thing TableTop emulated CaH can't do is show you the looks on peoples faces and reactions.
 
user15026
But I am too "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA INTERVIEW SOON" to be brain useful
 
5:18 PM
@AshleyNunn I'm gonna guess that Steam workshop isn't on the list of things to police.
 
user70680
@GnomeSlice yup. And the one i quoted on my question i played as a kid(puzzle and F15). This is the more weird thing, that i cant find this game and i was not the only one that had the cartidge..
 
@nwildner Maybe it was just called TANK then, since that's what was written on the cartridge?
 
user15026
@Frank probably
 
@AshleyNunn You're going to do fine. If you're stressed, pace your breathing. Slowly in. Hold. Exhale. Do this three times. Clear your mind. You know the job requirements, you know your resume. Be yourself, be sure to ask some good questions, and show interest in the people, places, and work related to the position.
 
user15026
@nwildner random bootleg/pirate cart?
 
5:19 PM
That 'Puzzle' game is mentioned on the list though.
 
user15026
@MadMAxJr Its the last bit I struggle with (its payday loans)
 
The tank one isn't there?
That's weird.
 
Spin that as "I'm interested in helping people with their financial troubles."
and... try not to think about it too hard.
 
BRIDGE I AM GOING TO BE A REBEL AND NOT BUY A PS4 AND BLOODBORNE, AND NONE OF YOU CAN STOP ME FROM NOT DOING THESE THINGS
 
@AshleyNunn Quote the Jon Oliver piece on payday loan companies. Or maybe not...
 
5:21 PM
TAKE THAT @Sterno, @Wipqozn, @Fluttershy and probably 15 others
 
@Unionhawk Woo!
 
@Unionhawk Rebel detected. Dispatching re-education team.
 
user15026
@JasonBerkan I am sure that will work well :P
 
user15026
@Unionhawk joins the rebel alliance
 
user70680
@GnomeSlice no, it isnt :(. And yes, only the word Tank on the cartidge. On the main screen, the pointer used to select 1 or 2 players was the "slow purple bullet" that i said in my question...
 
5:22 PM
@nwildner Hrm.
 
user70680
@GnomeSlice and no, im not in drugs :P
 
@Unionhawk We could just buy it for you. That'll show ya
 
I mean, that is a standard diagnostic question in the event that someone in the room can't identify a game immediately, you must understand
 
I forgot the password to my router and it locked me out of attempting again :|
 
user15026
@Wipqozn Well, if that's an option....I still don't want it XD
 
user15026
5:24 PM
@StrixVaria permanently?
 
@AshleyNunn It says try again later.
I could hard reset it but I don't feel like re-setting-up my wifi.
 
Yeah! Uh... What @AshleyNunn said! (if you idiots want to spend like $400 to show me, go for it I guess?)
 
@StrixVaria did you check the paper under the keyboard?
 
I'm not gonna say no to a free PS4.
But I make no guarantees to playing it.
 
Oh apparently it's the default password; I didn't change it.
 
I had to just retype it off the sticker on the router.
 
user15026
@StrixVaria At least you got in
 
I hate messing with network settings :(
 
I'm not playing Bad Rats to get it though, so if that is the next suggestion, then you can forget it
 
I'd play Bad Rats for $400. Especially $400 USD.
 
5:27 PM
OKAY, HERE'S THE DEAL
 
Yeah, isn't that like, $800 CAD or something?
 
@Unionhawk Closer to $500, really.
Only 20% higher.
 
I know it's not that much, I thought it would be funnier if it was that much, but that amount of difference is sufficiently funny
 
I will have 5 copies of bad rats to gift out tonight, courtesy of @Sterno. Anyways who plays through their copy, without cheating, consulting guide, or skipping levels will get a free digital picture of a PS4.
 
@Wipqozn You are a jerk.
 
5:30 PM
That's not a very good incentive. I can get a digital picture of a PS4 just by scrolling up.
 
@StrixVaria Thanks. I try.
 
boom
TRY AGAIN, TURTLE
(also, what in the fuck kind of URL includes "?$TwoColumn_Image$"?)
 
Huh. The Pastafarianism proposal got shut down.
22
Q: Not viable: on satire, education, and angry Internet mobs

Shog9Proposal: Pastafarianism Some of you may know that the Community Manager team at Stack Exchange regularly discusses proposals as they progress through Area51. We've reviewed this proposal, and after much debate I've come to the conclusion that it is not a viable topic for a Q&A site. Satire - d...

 
Oh...Lifehacks isn't satire?
4
 
I mean, it's less satire than pastafarianism (and I refuse to believe otherwise)
 
5:38 PM
> We've reviewed this proposal, and after much debate I've come to the conclusion that it is not a viable topic for a Q&A site.
> We are also completely blind when it comes to Lifehacks.
 
@Yuuki There has to be someone behind that pushing it.

Q: Can I tell how long an Orbital has left?

aslumSome orbitals have pretty long duration (weather satellites are 60 turns I think). Is there any way to see how long is left? I'd like to build some replacements, ideally so they finish just about when the old ones crash, but I am not really sure how to do find out how long they have left and it's...

 
There's no other reason for the site to still exist.
 
@Frank Oh, I'm almost entirely certain of it.
 
I really don't believe that's a fair comparison. Honestly.
 
5:40 PM
@Unionhawk It's not.
lifehacks is a serious proposal, and is terrible for different reasons than the pastafarian one.
 
Exactly
 
I'm not saying Lifehacks isn't a serious proposal.
 
It seems like part of the problem with the Pastafarianism proposal was that people couldn't agree on how serious it was
 
@murgatroid99 and yet paranormal is still open
 
@MattGiltaji It also looks like it took quite a while for Pastafarianism to close
 
5:41 PM
@MattGiltaji That's because we have all agreed on how serious that proposal is.
 
@MattGiltaji Yeah, it's pretty evident that the proposer is serious.
 
@MattGiltaji That is not far enough along to be even noticed by SE, they don't review proposals until they have something like 50% committed
 
Very, very serious.
 
Plus, satirizing religion will get angry responses like nothing else
 
@MadScientist they must have noticed it when they nuked all the comments
 
5:42 PM
 
Yes
 
@fredley "Am I sick?" "No"
 
@MattGiltaji That proposal likely won't reach enough committers anyway, no need to kill it manually at this point
 
> Proposed Q&A site for teens who don't know what to do during there pubic years
 
5:43 PM
@fredley "Is this normal?" "Yes"
 
#StackExchangeInOneQuestion
 
user15026
No interview for me today, because the interviewer is sick. Just glad I found out before I walked all the way there.
 
@AshleyNunn :(
 
user15026
@fredley oh well, going to scrape up enough change for a sandwich and then go visit my duck and squirrel friends at the park.
 
user15026
I hope the sandwich place doesn't mind all quarters. :P (They only take cash)
 
5:45 PM
@AshleyNunn It's happening. Animals.
 
user15026
@fredley I CAN STOP ANYTIME

Q: skyrim how to become a werewolf after you join the dawngaurd

zeusi just got the game and i hear that you can become a werewolf by joining the companions but it is to late for me and i don't want to start the game over.

 
@Unionhawk no one wanted you to play Bloodborne anyway
 
This needs more Leave Closed, before we have a repeat of that ReVolt question.
 
user15026
5:58 PM
I am trying to figure out why it is getting reopen votes, it's clearly off topic
 
I am Rincewind, the level 1 Wizard
Take all points out of Perception, put into Constitution
 
@fredley You are Rincewind, the super beefy, oblivious, and not-really-so-good-at-magic Wizard.
 
I'm honestly not sure if I'm going to buy it.
I might.
I just want to read. This is terrible
 
@Wipqozn you can read while your PS4 installs updates.
 
@Sterno REMEMBER THE GOOD OLD DAYS WHEN YOU'D BUY A GAME, POP IT IN YOUR CONSOLE AND PLAY IT RIGHT AWAY? WEREN'T THOSE THE BEST TIMES EVER?
I'm sorry, it had to be caps'd
 
6:07 PM
@Chippies is using cad?
 
@OrigamiRobot is using the OVERLY DRAMATIC NOSTALGIA KEYBOARD
 
That's got a very Legend of Zelda vibe.
 
@Frank What is this, Dropsy?

Q: What is the purpose of the cursed art gallery?

EagleSpoilers!! Be warned I've ended the game Ib and got all the endings, but seems that the game doesn't clarify some things within the story. The main question that I had was, what is the purpose of Guerterna's cursed art gallery? And, why was Ib called to come to this place? I thought it could be...

Q: What does Gaun's Pledge do?

Mad ScientistI just noticed the ring Gaun's Pledge in my inventory, I suspect it appeared because the Preorder Bonus DLC was installed. From the description I gather that it provides protection in some form, but the description of the actual bonus is rather annoyingly useless: Gaun's Pledge: Grants Gaun'...

 
I guess you ignored me again.
@Chippies Want to play Meltdown?
 
6:21 PM
@GnomeSlice ugh, sure, I guess
 
@Chippies Don't have to.
 
I'm kinda coding some shit up in Unity
but I haven't really played anything since we last played Meltdown
I kinda don't want to, but I also do want to play :/
 
Well keep going then I'll play something else
 
alright
maybe we can play some later
 
@Chippies I don't get it
 
6:24 PM
@OrigamiRobot I get it
 
context usually helps
and I'm not getting any
 
The last message you pinged me with, obviously
 
@OrigamiRobot if you had said you don't get it earlier, I would have edited it to be less confusing
 
6:27 PM
@Chippies now with preloading you don't even have to go anywhere! you can just turn the game on and go
 
@Rapitor 0-day patches
 
@Chippies auto game updates
 
20 mins ago, by Chippies
@OrigamiRobot is using the OVERLY DRAMATIC NOSTALGIA KEYBOARD
I is using the OVERLY DRAMATIC NOSTALGIA KEYBOARD, not you
 
@Chippies pre-one-week-paches
 
@Rapitor 5-10gb patches on a shitty connection
 
6:29 PM
@Chippies get gud
 
i STILL DON'T GET IT
 
@OrigamiRobot PROBABLY BECAUSE ROBOTS DON'T HAVE OVERLY DRAMATIC NOSTALGIA KEYBOARD!
 
I just found out I own a game that I maybe would've wanted at some point.
 
@Frank what game?
 
6:30 PM
@Unionhawk Errrrr
 
@Sterno Something still in development.
 
So this is the kind of stuff that you see when they say stuff like "moved this random planet because reasons"
 
HARD GAME IS HARD.
 
In other news, there is a wanted viper in Ross 780, GO GET HIM

Q: It womt let me play n

Melanie KingstonSo I click on my minecraft and when it goes on the launcher it says im already playing where the play button is. So i tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but it didnt work. What does this mean?

 
@Unionhawk UH, WAT
 
55 secs ago, by Unionhawk
So this is the kind of stuff that you see when they say stuff like "moved this random planet because reasons"
That is probably wat
That or they have modeled stars pulling planets in and absorbing them or something like that
Which is not likely since oh god why
Can you imagine if planets were physics objects?
 
What if you went to bed one day and woke up to a list of patch notes hanging in front of you.
"Earth 1.20.15 - Patch notes"
 
What
...
 
"IT related jobs a little OP, pay rate reduced 2%"
 
6:35 PM
 
"Random dog barking increased 10%"
 
"Fixed texture on 5th and Mainstreeet"
 
oh The Onion, you're not wrong
 
@MadScientist Damn you and your Taxonomist Badge Taking Ways!
 
6:39 PM
"Cats still stare at nothing for extended periods of time - known issue"
Okay, PS4/Bloodborne have shipped.. Will arrive tomorrow.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I was pretty surprised that nobody had asked a question yet
 
@MadScientist was too busy playing!
Then I realized my preorder DLC wouldn't download unless I took a break, so I'm making myself lunch while it downloads
because I want my space pig
 
I still have no idea what my blue glowing piglet actually does
 
+Glow +Pig
 
6:42 PM
Ugggggghhhhhhhh PoE
 
Valkyria Chronicles. Enjoy that all the way up to the last boss fight.
 
@MadScientist It's just cosmetic.
You can get a variety of companion pets that just follow you around and look cool
 
@MadMAxJr Even that, though, isn't that bad.
 
Goddammit Waze, I DON'T CARE ABOUT EARNING WAZE INTERNET POINTS I DON'T DRIVE ENOUGH TO EARN TONS
 
(Note: It's been years since I played it)
 
6:43 PM
The last boss requires a very different strategy than what the entire game teaches you to do.
But the game does feature tons of pretty characters with GUNS GUNS GUNS
 
@MadMAxJr And tanks. Don't forget tanks.
And the super bubbly, cheerful, clumsy, and holy-shit-scarily accurate Nancy.
headshots a guy from across the map with a scout rifle "Yayyyyy! I did it!"
 
Just don't watch the anime. "This is happy and fun" "OH GOD THE SAD" and it's canceled.
I like their approach to anti-tank weapons.
 
@Unionhawk if you do, it sucks up all your bandwidth
 
Lets take a heavy cavalry lance, but make it fire exploding rocket tips.
 
@MadScientist FYI I answered your question
 
6:48 PM

Q: Which is better? Combat Arms Eu or US?

VengeanceWhich of the two servers has the most hackers? Which is best to play on?

 
@MattGiltaji Does it? The only apps I've noticed to be particularly data intensive are Twitch and YouTube
Twitch especially
A stream in source quality will probably suck up 2 GB of data in 5 minutes
(720p 60fps)
 
@OrigamiRobot Das expensive ship
 
Trials status: **COMPLETE**
Analysis status: **JUST BEGINNING**
 
6:54 PM
I still feel like boosters are quite powerful
How is the recharge time on the FDL's shields?
Or did you never test that in beta and you have no clue
 
@Unionhawk TOO MUCH POWER
 
Right, right
 
@Unionhawk i had an hour and a half commute (about 45 miles) each way when i was using it. it's not as bandwidth hungry as streaming video, but it seemed to use an inordinate amount of bandwidth (maybe a hundred MB per day)
 
@OrigamiRobot death by beam
 
Oh damn
I've never noticed tbh
@OrigamiRobot And just beams... ehhhh

Q: Where are the spring berries?

fredleyI've searched the whole map, but I can't find the springberries to make my illness go away. Whereabouts are they?

Q: Do roads count as improvements for Weather Controller Sats?

aslumWeather Controllers Generate 1 to 2 new Basic Resources on unimproved tiles across its lifespan. Do Roads/Magrail count as improvements for this purpose?

 
It'll probably work, but it'll definitely use up the weapons capacitor quick
So...
 
@Lazers rubbing it in my face, eh
 
You may experience overheating
In fact, you will probably experience overheating
And you'll definitely have to lay off the trigger quite a bit
 
DOWNLOADING TIM CAIN COOKBOOK. WOOOOO.
 
I got vulture (because combat is where all the money is now) and fitted with 2 bursts. seems pretty decent
 
6:58 PM
Pulses is where it's at tbh
 
burst is just pulsex3
 
Low Power usage, low heat production
 
... Are you guys outfitting spaceships or microwaves?
 
@MadMAxJr both?
 
You can fire constantly without having to worry about capacitor charge

Pulses is where it's at tbh
 
well the orbital i was at didnt have pulses. so i got bursts
