4:00 PM
hmm what else
 
Horses stealing our jobs
 
Cars stealing jobs from horses.
Horse rights are important.
 
oh yes all those things vaccines stopped
can we have those back too thanks
 
There was another mumps outbreak on campus last week
 
and the slav--- I mean, the illegal aliens,
 
4:01 PM
@StrixVaria we should form them a union
 
No unions are bad
 
@Unionhawk but protection in the workplace
 
People have a right to work or something and unions destroy jobs or some shit?
 
My horse should be protected from getting shot as we duel on horse back
 
(idk Ohio is going through right to work debates)
 
4:02 PM
Companies are better people than people.
 
@StrixVaria this is why R's frame things in terms of regulations and not in terms of consumer and environmental protections
 
I just don't need another Red Dead on my hands. People just shooting horses from underneath you
 
Subsidies and bankruptcy laws are just Medicare for companies. Why should I have to pay for someone's failure to be a good entrepreneur?
 
@Unionhawk WHY DO YOU HATE CHOICE
 
Companies should just pick themselves up by their own bootstraps.
 
4:04 PM
@Yuuki why should someone have to pay for you falling out of a tree and having to go to a hospital?
 
IF YOU WANT TO GO TO A RESTAURANT WHY SHOULD THEY PREVENT YOU FROM EATING TAR
THEN WHY DO FINANCIAL ADVISERS HAVE TO ACT IN YOUR INTEREST
 
You should have chosen non-chemical-laden water to drink.
 
@BlueBarren Companies should just invest in health savings accounts so if they ever run deficits, they can just pay out of their savings accounts.
 
@StrixVaria I breathed in chemtrails, I'm already too far gone
 
@Yuuki Now there's an idea I like

Q: Can you change world ownership on PS4?

Blake.Boss14My friend and I were building a city, but he doesn't play it that much. Is there a way I can take ownership of the world?

 
I just love that R's think increasing HSAs are an adequate replacement for actual cover
 
Like sure they're great, for people who have extra money
 
@Chippies solution, kill the children, all the children
 
@Unionhawk "tax free money storage let's gooooooooooooooooooooo"
 
@Yuuki omg
@Unionhawk Wait, what?
 
@Unionhawk See, here's the thing: I don't think Republicans are trying to solve the problems they say they're solving. They're solving other problems and disguising them as solutions to the problems people want solved.
 
@Yuuki That's like the Republican thing
 
(Okay, the last couple of times I've said "Republicans", I meant "Republican lawmakers" not "people who count themselves as Republicans or members of the Republican party")
 
4:10 PM
"We want this to happen, so we'll pretend there's this other problem and that the thing we want is a solution to that problem."
 
@Yuuki well Trump promised us "everything" so anything short of that is a disaster
 
Ditto
 
 
4:18 PM
@Unionhawk WOBBLE HARD
 
@Unionhawk woah, where did you find this gif of @Arperum?
 
(ditto) is one of the best bttv gif emotes
I think it's the best actually
SourPls is a classic though
 
Now I regret posting the original Ditto
because all I have are dittos on my screen
 
4:59 PM
My boss is great. Told him about the cost for Visual SVN, and he didn't even quibble.
 
My boss always looks for free or cheaper alternatives first
hence I'm using a student license for resharper
although in our defense I am a student and this internship is supposed to be a learning experience
 
Yeah, but you're doing commercial work with it, aren't you? It's kinda murky waters, imo.
Student license is meant to be used for school projects and hobby projects and such IIRC.
 
Internal use only
but I did express those concerns
It's an interesting line
as an intern I can't really force them to spend money
otherwise I'll become the hated intern
 
That feeling when you publish a change and then realize that you made a single character error and now have to republish.
 
I've republished and recommitted to git for less
example: spacing and indenting
 
5:13 PM
@BlueBarren Its part of the whole tools package. You need proper tools to do your job.
Those tools should be provided by the company, as they are profiting from their use.
 
@Frank well I'm also over exaggerating, no one would hate me for it
 
Yeah, but my Gerrit changes need to be reviewed by other people. And this time, I didn't notice my single character error, someone else pointed it out. And my publish log for this particular patchset is already annoyingly long.
I prefer two, maybe three, commits per patchset. It feels efficient. I'm up to eight right now and I've backtracked several times over some old commits and whatnot.

Q: I cannot access my All The Mods Expert world. However the file still exists

ImpurityThe title really explains it all. I've done some research though and found that I should rename level.dat_old to level.dat. The problem is they don't exist.

 
Oh god @Sterno did you see the Sonic Pancake on a Stick review? Bit of side commentary about the Sonic staff, lol
People rehashing all the SHA-1 jokes.
 
5:30 PM
Yaaaaaaay
 
IT: When things are working, we are sitting in our office playing games. When things go wrong, it's because we were sitting in our office playing games.
 
;)
IT: No one appreciates you until it goes wrong, and then they just blame you
 
Hmm... I don't think the food I packed for lunch is going to be enough for me today.
I'm feeling extra hungry.
And all I brought was mushroom-infused rice and sauteed mushrooms.
 
5:48 PM
@Yuuki I wish that was my life
 
is i.reddit also broken for you folks?
aaaaaand I just remembered it. Numix.
 
@TimStone QUEUED UP
 
6:02 PM
So who's into Yooka-Laylee?
 
@BlueBarren Is that launching soon?
I hadn't heard about it in a while.
 
I'm not hyped for it if that's what you're asking.
 
Now I've heard about it like 3 times today.
 
They released a gameplay trailer a few weeks ago and it was worrying.
 
@StrixVaria April 11th
 
6:07 PM
@Sterno Oh, which reminds me. My other half wanted KFC the other day because of the Georgia Gold chicken and I was like "Oh, just to warn you…"
 
and I was bringing it up because they released some new footage
of the ice world
 
I should watch some footage of it.
 
As @Yuuki pointed out the Capital Casino footage is relatively disappointing
 
I'm kind of passively waiting for a game I like enough that is short enough to speedrun to fall into my lap, maybe that'll be it.
 
She said "How do you know?" "There's this guy who reviews food and […]" Long story short he was right, she agreed with his review
 
6:08 PM
Tridalstack Tropics on the other hand looks good
 
Weird question, but does anyone know of any games for the PS4 that make use of the TouchPad? I'm looking for example of any use really, since the only game I've played that uses it in recent memory was Rayman Legends
 
Killzone Shadow Fall
Generally look towards PS4 exclusives
as they don't have to worry about how to transition that functionality to another platform where the touchpad doesn't exist
 
That's a really good idea; thanks ;o;
 
@StrixVaria Wanting to get into the speedrunning scene?
 
@Fluttershy I've always been really interested, but not in a competitive way really.
I've toyed with the idea of getting into various runs but the optimal strats always made the game less fun to play for me.
 
6:23 PM
@StrixVaria you should try Ori and the Blind Forest
It's also just a beautiful game
 
Trying to use Nuget with dev packages leads to a lot of pain.
 
@StrixVaria Gotcha. I've really been enjoying my attempts at Ori and the Blind Forest! And the community is incredibly helpful.
 
@BlueBarren Never even played it.
One game I did consider was Shovel Knight but I think the game might just be a bit too hard for the time I'm able to commit.
 
@StrixVaria Well good thing I suggested it ;D
 
@StrixVaria It's the best Metroidvania since Symphony of the Night, imo.
 
6:26 PM
^ this
 
Never was a genre I really liked.
 
My gaming tastes are haphazard and don't make sense even to me.
The game I'm most excited for in 2017 is Cook, Serve, Delicious 2, for example.
By a big margin.
 
@StrixVaria Oh. :(
 
Zero dawn sounds interesting, but I'm unsure of how much I'd really like it.
 
6:29 PM
@Frank That is a game in the (for me) gigantic category of "games that are objectively good but that I wouldn't personally enjoy playing".
I'm going to watch a LP of it.
 
I watched the entire campaign for Halo Wars 2 on the weekend
because it's not worth the 80 CAD it costs
but I'm curious what happens
 
@StrixVaria I like the fighting giant mecha animals part. But apparently you also have to fight humans, and lots of them.
And that's a giant slog bit, since they never change.
 
And in case anyone's curious that campaign goes completely no where
 
I don't like survival/crafting systems in games at all.
As soon as you're scavenging for materials and making your gear out of bits and pieces I'm out.
I think Monster Hunter hammered that point home to me.
 
@StrixVaria Dark Souls is a popular speed game! :D
 
6:33 PM
This is why I will only get one MH per platform
or after a while
They're too grindy to get every single one
 
@StrixVaria That's the part I like the best. You're as strong as you want to be.
 
This is where I'd use the trollface discord emote, but I can't.
 
@Fluttershy Also in that aforementioned category of games I think are good games but don't like to play.
 
@StrixVaria alright your window for playable games is just getting smaller and smaller
what's a genre of game you'll play and like?
 
@BlueBarren I did mention that I can't make sense of it myself.
 
6:34 PM
@Fluttershy unfortunately the dark souls community is complete ass
 
@StrixVaria hey I'm all for particulars. Why do something you won't find fun?
 
Some of my favorite games in recent memory: Super Hexagon, Papers Please, Cook Serve Delicious
I played a stupid number of hours of Diablo 3.
 
reads down o
 
I played a lot of Overwatch for a few months then got burned out on it.
 
I suggest surgeon simulator then
 
6:36 PM
@Unionhawk Yeah...
 
@BlueBarren I can stop soliciting you for opinions I guess.
 
... lol
 
@StrixVaria what? What did I do? D:
 
Surgeon Simulator is the opposite of all the games I said I liked.
 
Super Meat Boy? Is that something you'd like?
 
6:37 PM
"I like games with precise inputs and tight control schemes" "You should play octodad"
Super Meat Boy is fine.
I like Dustforce more, but I'm bad at it :P
 
That's a popular speed game.
 
But how? You listed a whole bunch of games that can be played in bite sized chunks that have their own gimick
 
Both are, actually.
 
@BlueBarren The gameplay in Surgeon Simulator is intentionally loose and frustrating.
 
@StrixVaria hmph >:(
 
6:38 PM
Guitar Hero (all variations) have been some of my favorite all time games.
 
Did you try the new one?
 
@StrixVaria Despite not liking metroidvania games much, I'd still highly recommend Ori and the Blind Forest. It has some of the tightest controls, and some of the precision platforming from Super Meat Boy.
 
I got Rock Band 4 but my TV's lag isn't consistent so it's an exercise in frustration.
 
Yay, ordering food from 10 meters over
 
Also, the game is beautiful, and the story is good too.
 
6:40 PM
@Fluttershy and the soundtrack, oh boy
 
@TimStone hue
 
I have to echo the recommendation of Ori and the Blind Forest. It's a very good action-platformer game with some exploration/Metroidvania elements
 
RIP @Ori
 
RIP @TheBlindForest
 
@Unionhawk This reminds me that I should start calling people by incomplete names like @Blueb and @Flutters like we used to for @OrigamiRob
Unfortunately there isn't really a good shortened form for @Unionhawk.
Oh right @uni
 
6:44 PM
Nope
 
I thought that was @UniKitty?
 
Doesn't ping
 
@KevinvanderVelden 1) Do not @ping that name out of fear.
 
Unlike @origamirob
@StrixVaria doesn't ping
 
2) UniKitty took @uni referring to @unionhawk way, way, way out of proportion
 
6:45 PM
Is fine
 
@Unionhawk I know but it's best not to tempt the gods.
 
If that thing exists, I don't think there's such a thing as gods.
 
Also my first viewing of Lego Movie was like a month ago and I was traumatized at a certain part.
 
@StrixVaria excuse me, we don't know each other well enough to not call each other by our full screen names
 
A rush of unwelcome memories flooded my head.
ok @blueb
 
6:47 PM
Thanks @str
 
Ooh, @Gnomes is a good one.
 
(did that work?)
 
@BlueBarren You need 3 letters, so yes that one did ping me.
 
Fun fact that's actually how that works
OBSERVE
 
6:48 PM
@TimStone I tried to explain these videos to my wife and she just gave me a confused stare.
 
@Wipqozn @Wipqozn @Wipqozn
 
@StrixVaria success
 
@StrixVaria I no longer like Lego Movie.
 
@Sterno I was just trying to give her fair warning that the chicken wouldn't be as good as expected
 
but does len(@str) ping?
 
6:49 PM
@God yes.
 
is @GodEmperorDune @God?
 
i shall come up with additional type jokes
@BlueBarren clearly
 
@GodEmperorDune if I give you 5 yen will you grant my wish?
 
@GnomeSlice So I did a little bit of reading around and Bright looks like it's going to be End of Watch with fantasy elements.
 
I realize no one will get the reference as I have no idea who's watching anime and specifically the one I'm watching right meow (Noragami)
 
6:51 PM
> To help put the number of estimates into perspective: as of 25 August 2016, it's been five full years (60 months) since the Kickstarter campaign funded, and as of 1 January 2017 it's been five years since the originally-promised delivery date. Happy birthdays, FAR WEST Adventure Game!
Still amusing to me 6 hours later
 
@BlueBarren no you need to collect the 1337 dragon balls
plus i only grant wishes that were going to come true anyway
 
@StrixVaria tbh that's higher than i thought it would be
 
@StrixVaria I didn't know DNA tests could be done on cooked things.
 
I just wanted to post a news article that was only slightly gross instead of mind-bendingly horrifying like we've been getting.
 
6:54 PM
i figured 33% oven, 33% roasted, 33% chicken
 
100% concentrated power of will
 
@Yuuki with the 2005 memes.
 
@StrixVaria classic memes are always in style
 
You gotta repost the old ones sometimes to keep them fresh.
 
this message brought to you by powerthirst, consistently providing gratuitous amounts of energy
2
 
6:56 PM
Classic memes are an essential component to any diversified portfolio
 
Otherwise they decay at the bottom of the dump and now you have meme-thane gas trapping all the spice inside the atmosphere.
 
There are exceptions, obviously
 
@Yuuki does the bridge run on meme-thane?
 
Demotivationals hold zero value these days, for example
 
@Unionhawk yea, we can let @Wipqozn's socks burn in Android hell
 
6:58 PM
So, the guy 5 years late on Farwest, who said the PDF would be going out to backers "in a few days" about 5 years ago, had a laptop problem and had this to say:
> No worries about losing data, though -- FAR WEST (and pretty much everything else for Adamant) is backed up on 2 different external drives and on Dropbox. The only issue is that while it's gone, my hands are tied regarding finishing layout. (I'm hammering this update out on an old laptop, which doesn't run my Adobe cloud stuff).
STILL DOING LAYOUT
 
Like, if the last 5 years didn't let you complete layout, I doubt this one week without your laptop is really a factor
 
if layout is the only thing holding it back, maybe release the plaintext content
 
Although this is from December 2016
> I'm still working to finish FAR WEST. So close now. All that remains (mostly) is the last chapter & appendices.
EXCEPT 5 YEARS AGO YOU SAID IT WAS ALREADY DONE
This guy should be President
> I want to get as much as possible (if not the whole shebang) off to you by the end of the year. Whole thing soon after -- and if I can't get you everything by year's end, I'll at least give you what is done, and the manuscript for the rest, so you know it's coming.
Yeah, didn't happen
 
I liked the most recent update on that list, where he mentions that he's been contacted by the AG's office, and complains that that's slowing him down
 
7:09 PM
Yeah. Good times.
 
kickstr?
 
7:20 PM
An outage in Amazon's S3 is affecting display and upload of images on our sites, unrelated to the DDoS that we're still sustaining. #hugops
 
#hugops?
I assume that's hug operations?
we should be hugging each other?
come here @Unionhawk I need to hug you
 
Hug your tactical operator
 
clearly @stackstatus is jealous of @ash's hug gun
 
Can it be Friday yet

Q: What does it mean to say that the Turtle Armor "increases chances of being targeted by enemies"?

CephThe tooltip for Turtle Armor says that it "[i]ncreases chances of being targeted by enemies". Can someone explain what this means? It seems to me that every enemy that spawns targets me anyway. Does it increase spawn rate, like a water candle? If you're playing single player, what (if anything) d...

 
7:30 PM
I think I actually have a test failing due to the S3 outage
 
I shouldn't be surprised anymore, but the latest trump nonsense is ridiculous.
He's blaming Obama for the leaks towards the press...
 
The military for the SEAL's death
And (basically) Jewish people for the bomb threats against JCCs
 
@Arperum Incidentally, his staff using forms of communication that delete upon reading is definitely illegal
But 🐸☕
 
@Unionhawk ... are they using Snapchat?
Man, now I'm imagining classified state secrets being posted on Snapchat.
 
@Yuuki nah its some fake spy app thing that probably displays a fancy graphic as the message is deleted
 
7:38 PM
@Yuuki no I think it's essentially signal except with the auto deleting thing
 
and the real intelligence agents are pulling their hair out in horror and frustration because there are government agencies that have already evaluated the properly secured tools to use for such things and they are most definitely not some 3rd party consumer app with who knows how many security bugs
and given how this administration is treating sensitive info so far (lockbox with key in the lock, pointing phones with cameras at secure documents), they are probably discussing sensitive data in this app too
not to mention the whole "but her emails" thing that they literally rode into office on
 
FUCKING, RIGHT?
AHDHGNGHRITNGORNRHGOEBR
 
@TimStone IT'S ON A STICK
A STICK
STICK
 
huh, pony island is more fun than I expected it'd be
 
@Unionhawk I had a thought: it'd be interesting if REDACTED is a result of Ocarina of Time's timeline f--kery and BotW unites the separate Zelda timelines.
 
7:46 PM
Idk
I thought we already had a revised timeline and this was like... Way future on the TP branch or something
 
oh i saw some cool nintendo toys at target and i was gonna buy link but it was TOON LINK so eff that
 
/flag thatthingyoujustsaid
 
i blame @uni and @Wipqozn for this
no one likes toon link
toon link is demonstrably the worst link
 
does imgur give error 503 backend is unhealthy for anyone else too?
 
@GodEmperorDune Vintage memes
 
7:48 PM
@Yuuki it actually looks like more than one Internet has this theory
 
@Avery It's because S3 is down
No one enjoys an unhealthy backend
 
@TimStone 1) oh 2) wtf
 
BUT HEY THATS JUST A THEORY, A GAME THEORY THANKS FOR WATCHING
 
is S3 down because of more internet of shit shenanigans? or are they just targeting SO?
 
BE SURE TO LIKE FAVORITE AND SUBSCRIBE AND ALSO AUDIBLE DOT COM
 
7:51 PM
@Unionhawk THIS WEEKS BOOK IS POUNDED BY PRESIDENT BIGFOOT BY CHUCK TINGLE. MAKE SURE TO CHECK IT OUT GUYS.
 
@Unionhawk If BotW takes place in the in the TP timeline doesn't that kind of ruin Game Theory's theory that link is dead in Majora's mask or...? Oh wait as I'm typing this I realize that the link in Majora's Mask isn't supposed to be the Link in Twilight Princess anyways derp derp derp
 
I'd rather have Chuck Tingle as president than our current situation tbh
 
@GodEmperorDune Does SO even use Amazon S3?
 
@StrixVaria he'd write better executive orders
 
At least Chuck Tingle is aware that he isn't a real person.
 
7:53 PM
 
@murgatroid99 nope
 
SO is completely local AFAIK, except for fastly
fastly may or may not rely on S3. Not sure.
 
@murgatroid99 i didn't mean that it was the same attack
 
Good thing S3 is down, all your CloudPet recordings are safe for the next 3 hours. https://twitter.com/troyhunt/status/836665272471674881
lol, the silver lining!
 
7:53 PM
@TimStone hue
 
I mean SE relies on imgur which relies on S3
 
PINTEREST IS DOWN
SO I CANT MEME
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
 
White House confirms: #AWS #S3 functioning as expected, no reports of outages. https://t.co/Zzh6wOFRLP
 
@fredley how is a house semi detached? isn't it attached or detached?
 
7:55 PM
@GodEmperorDune It's attached on one side.
 
@GodEmperorDune Detatched on one side
 
you brits
 
@fredley Technically it has multiple detached sides, like the front.
 
@Ronan Question: is the bottom attached?
 
Dammit!
 
7:56 PM
i'd make a brexit joke but i am feeling lazy
 
@fredley Well now we're both wrong.
 
Root cause of outage: S3 is actually hosted on Google Cloud Storage, and today Google Cloud Storage migrated to AWS
4
 
@Avery they're good memes bront
 
The whole building is a detached house, you own half of it, so it's semi-detached, like in semi-skimmed milk... no wait that doesn't help
@GodEmperorDune @Pinboard memes best memes
 
now I don't have gimp installed atm to edit that
neither can I use imgur's online editor
so meh, read it as "everyone yells at s3 cloud"
 
7:58 PM
@Avery I'm sorry but you meme on Pinterest?
 
@BlueBarren no
but they have a huge image cache
and a notable part of meme queries on google is on pinterest
 
when the fog of seasonal depression lifts only to reveal your profound laziness https://t.co/LFIxvCzhUN
 
Hmmm Idk @Avery I'm not convinced
 
i thought pinterest was all martha stewartish home projects
 
sorry all. current #AWSdown brought down http://Downdetector.com. We're curled up on the floor in a fetal position… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/836660704702705664
 
7:59 PM
@GodEmperorDune that's how mom uses it
 
loooooool
wtf
 
@TimStone hahahaha
