Nothing is more Google than trying to run a global naming contest and *explicitly* asking people to pick an n-word. Wonder what they'll get.

Listen, man, the people want more emojiis

Purple is a popular emoji color, as you can see

badp

OH MY GOD

HE SAID JAVA

HE SAID JAVA RIGHT THERE

Ullallulloo

6:11 PM

@GodEmperorDune Hey now, I don't want people to think I'm racist by only including yellow people in my texts.

ardaozkal

I can only imagine what 4chan would send...

StrixVaria

@murgatroid99 Did he say 5x? I zoned out when he listed them.

murgatroid99

@StrixVaria yes

StrixVaria

Phew.

GOOGLE CARDBOARD PLASTIC CONFIRMED

GodEmperorDune

maybe they should call the new OS Android Nexus just to mess with people

murgatroid99

6:12 PM

But I gave my 5X to my sister, so I still have 5

StrixVaria

@murgatroid99 My old Nexus 5 is now my alarm clock.

I want a nexus device as my next

@murgatroid99 does google give discounts to employees? Microsoft does, 25%.

GOOGLE DAYDREAAM WOOOO

GodEmperorDune

6:13 PM

oh no, just imagine @fredley + daydream

StrixVaria

@ardaozkal Why don't you just marry Microsoft?

murgatroid99

@ardaozkal We get a lot of discounts, but I don't know if we get discounts on non-coroporate phones

ardaozkal

@StrixVaria even america doesn't allow me to marry companies :(

Yuuki

@StrixVaria He's trying to put off the proposal so he can get the Microsoft Rift as an engagement gift.

murgatroid99

@SaintWacko Oh, right, I remember when Microsoft invented virtual reality last year

badp

6:14 PM

I have an answer from a couple years ago but I don't know if I get to share it

and given that others aren't answering, I'll stay mum too ~

StrixVaria

Is people using their phones for VR actually a common use case?

ardaozkal

@StrixVaria never saw anyone.

GodEmperorDune

@StrixVaria its probably cheaper than buying a dedicated VR device

Unionhawk

Yeah, that's really the thing for me

badp

@StrixVaria the few vocal people who do seem happy

Ullallulloo

6:16 PM

@murgatroid99 Nexus 4 only got two years of support so that was expected.

ardaozkal

VR isn't ready for production yet.

badp

that said

@ardaozkal bullshit

that said

ardaozkal

Nothing on rift

nothing on vive

Ullallulloo

idc, CyanogenMod4lyfe

ardaozkal

nothing much on hololens

Unionhawk

6:16 PM

That is demonstrably untrue

badp

if you can be accused for terrorism for scribbling integrals on paper

ardaozkal

nothing much on cardboard

GodEmperorDune

@badp those were dangerous derivatives

Ullallulloo

I will use this G2 forever.

badp

@GodEmperorDune the best derivatives?

murgatroid99

6:17 PM

@ardaozkal No killer app != not production ready

fredley

controller is literally from black mirror

Yuuki

@GodEmperorDune Integrals == derivatives? wat

Unionhawk

Elite is already supported on Vive and probably Rift

badp

we'll build a wall around maths and we'll make infinitesimals pay for it

ardaozkal

@murgatroid99 I meant that.

nothing worth buying

Unionhawk

6:18 PM

And that's been a thing since like 2 years ago now

badp

indeed cardboard was never sold

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki there were both integrals and derivatives, iirc

badp

(IIRC)

Unionhawk

KeepTalkingGame is on VR, etc

StrixVaria

So this is a Wii-mote with better sensitivity.

Unionhawk

6:18 PM

Where etc means my VR library ends there

badp

and a steam controller-like concave touchpad thing too?

GodEmperorDune

also a much better demo video than hololens, cc @ardaozkal

Yuuki

@Unionhawk I thought E:D already had Rift support months ago?

Unionhawk

@Yuuki iunno

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki hehehehe, ED

ardaozkal

6:19 PM

@GodEmperorDune both sucks

Unionhawk

Might have had Vive

Yuuki

@Unionhawk Probably dev kit or something.

I know there was a press article where some reviewer was raving about playing E:D with the Rift.

fredley

6:23 PM

Meh, I don't think there's anything I want from my watch that Pebble doesn't do

Unionhawk

I should get my pebble fixed

Finally

(A pin came out)

fredley

Pebble can already display (most of) such info on the watchface

eugh, watch keyboard

I do not want my watch to be my personal coach

@Ullallulloo I got an 18 the other day. :)

Yuuki

@badp That implies that there was at some point in the time where the protocol was disengaged.

ardaozkal

I don't want my watch to be a phone.

badp

@Yuuki yes. I do not need a protocol for my everyday shitposting

fredley

6:27 PM

So I need a dataplan for the watch?

ardaozkal

I also don't want to pay 500$ for a watch.

MadMAxJr

Well no you need two watches to be a phone, like that one guy in that Phoenix Wright game.

fredley

@ardaozkal Then don't

MadMAxJr

Ends up holding his wrists crossed against his head to use dual watches as a phone.

ardaozkal

heey turkey

oh boy, unnecessary subtitles for someone with a mild accent

Microsoft will never forgive you for cheating on them.

Ullallulloo

I've been using a keyboard on my watch already, so I'm excited for a better one.

ardaozkal

@fredley yeah. I just use my pebble.

MadMAxJr

Until they do.

Ullallulloo

Cuz flexkey is hard to use.

badp

@ardaozkal Cortana will remember this.

6:29 PM

Bring back fold-out physical keyboards!

fredley

I'm getting a bit tired of all this breathless Californian enthusiasm

Please someone be a bit self-deprecating

pls

@badp Google Assistant actually might tho

GodEmperorDune

@fredley they're not british

Ullallulloo

My watch can already communicate over WiFi without my phone though. That was added in 6.0

GodEmperorDune

well except for all those british presenters

fredley

@GodEmperorDune A couple have been

But they'd been assimilated

A NEW CLASS OF WEBSITE

Unionhawk

6:30 PM

First lesson in assimilation class is terminology

ardaozkal

oh noes

badp

@fredley the emoji dude was pretty self-deprecating. "did I just say that", "are we really doing this"

MadMAxJr

Microsoft has taken the Azure.

Ullallulloo

Although Allo and Duo seem weird.

fredley

@badp not enough shame for a pitch about emojis

@Ullallulloo does it have 5 days of battery?

no

@Ullallulloo That's because it's garbage

Ullallulloo

6:32 PM

@Unionhawk Well, refurbished.

ardaozkal

I'll keep using my pebble time

Ullallulloo

@fredley I haven't had any problems with mine.

fredley

@Ullallulloo Neither have I

GodEmperorDune

#MakeAndroidGreatAgain

Ullallulloo

@ardaozkal No, but it'll last a day and I take off my watch when I sleep and shower anyway, which are both enough to give it a full charge.

ardaozkal

6:33 PM

@Ullallulloo no waterproof?!

Ullallulloo

But for real, why do they have Hangouts, Voice, Messenger, Spaces, Allo, and Duo.

ardaozkal

+ there aren't apps by @fredley on it. 0/10, not buying it.

Ullallulloo

@ardaozkal It is, but wearing a watch in the shower is weird.

MadMAxJr

Man.. Somewhere I still have my old HTC G1, one of the first consumer android devices.

Unionhawk

I mean @fredley wrote ChatSey how good can his pebble apps be

flees

fredley

6:35 PM

@Unionhawk My Pebble apps are great

Unionhawk

Ronan

@fredley What now?

fredley

@badp No, but we're gonna build one

GodEmperorDune

@fredley no, his name is Fredley Miller

fredley

The best wall, we're gonna build it

ardaozkal

and we'll make bridge pay for it

fredley

6:37 PM

And @badp is gonna pay for it

Unionhawk

It was -murder previously

I made it +murder

To make up for the negative murder

bring users into your apps: google adwords for users trapped in their mobile

Hopefully in 3 weeks time it'll balance out to murder

any bets on how long before @fredley tricks us into installing some sort of friday app automatically?

fredley

6:48 PM

@GodEmperorDune I can't wait

MadMAxJr

You have it installed right now because you think Friday exists.

fredley

I WILL BE IN CONTROL OF THE EXPERIENCES

ardaozkal

@fredley you need to make an update to one of your watchfaces... to display gifs of friday on every single friday

MadMAxJr

You really need a new song to meme about.
