Q: What are the tasks assigned to you in TaskMaker?

In the classic Mac Game TaskMaker you are assigned 10 tasks by the TaskMaker if I remember correctly. I can't remember what the tasks were and I can only find reference to the final task you are given. I completed the game almost 20 years ago but I no longer have a Mac that will run it so go bac...

Q: What does a broken arrow mean?

When hovering over an enemy in combat it changes your cursor to an arrow if you're making a ranged attack. Sometimes the arrow is broken, and other times it's unbroken. What's the difference between a broken and unbroken arrow? What causes an arrow be broken?

QAdp

@QAdley so Isaac doesn't?

fbueckert

@QAdley I got to make do with one, and zero budget for new equipment. I would point out that our servers are aging and we might want to start replacing them. They told me to shut up and keep them running. So I did. Until the A/C in the server room broke yet again, and toasted the hardware.

QAdley

@QAdp Not especially. It's just a name (albeit an Abrahamic one)

@QAdp At work with no headphones :-(

@fbueckert Nice. We will be on AWS, so the A/C is not our problem

QAdp

15:13

This should be the transcript:

> Isaac and his mother, lived alone in a small house on a hill. Isaac kept to himself, drawing pictures and playing with his toys, as his mom watched Christian Broadcasts on the television. Life was simple, and they were both happy. That was, until the day Isaac's mom heard a voice from above.

> "Your son has become corrupted by sin, he needs to be saved." "I will do my best to save him my lord.", Isaac's mother replied. Ruffing into Isaac's room, removing all that was evil from his life. Again, the voice called to her. "Isaac's soul is still corrupt. He needs to be cut off from all that is evil in this world and confess his sins."

> "I will follow your instructions lord, I have faith indeed.", Isaac's mother replied. As she locked Isaac in his room, away from the evils of the world. One last time, Isaac's mom heard the voice of God calling to her. "You have done as I asked, but I still question your devotion to me, to prove your faith I will ask one more thing of you."

QAdley

@QAdp Sounds interesting

fbueckert

@QAdley It wasn't our problem, either. It just had a nasty habit of breaking, and with the server room producing so much heat, it would've knocked out all our hardware if we didn't keep a paranoid eye on it.

QAdp

> "Yes lord, anything.", Isaac's mother begged. "To prove your love and devotion, I require a sacrifice. Your son Isaac will be this sacrifice. Go into his room and end his life as an offering to me, to prove you love me above all else." "Yes lord."

> She replied. Grabbing a butcher's knife from the kitchen. Isaac, watching through a crack in his door, trembled in fear. Scrambling around his room to find a hiding place, he noticed a trapdoor to the basement, hidden under his rug. Without hesitation, he flung open the hatch, just as his mother burst through his door. And threw himself down, into the unknown depths below.

fbueckert

I literally checked up on it twice a day to make sure it was all still running properly.

GnomeSlicE

@QAdley It is, there's a lot of references to biblical people and events.

@QAdley it's a great game, and the soundtrack is incredible.

fbueckert

@Qadley such as this. No reply, but it'll highlight your last message.

GnomeSlicE

@QAdley The game isn't really 'biblical' save for various names.

Ronan Forman

@GnomeSlicE Various? You mean all the names.

GnomeSlicE

@RonanForman What about him?

Ronan Forman

@GnomeSlicE I forgot Issac was biblical.

QAdp

15:18

@QAdley I hope you don't mind the graphics then. Things can get ugly (but not NSFW ugly) but the game is fun. The difficulty curve is kinda broken though.

GnomeSlicE

@RonanForman Isaac was Abraham's son, whom he almost offered up as a sacrifice.

Ronan Forman

I meant all the names but Issac, but then I realised even Issac.

GnomeSlicE

@QAdp Everything is pretty cartoony anyway, it's not so bad.

QAdley

@QAdp I'm fine with cartoon gore

GnomeSlicE

@QAdp No kidding.

I need to play BoI again and try to finish it. I couldn't really get into the 'play it over and over and over and figure out what everything does for yourself' thing.

QAdley

15:20

@RonanForman It sounds like the intro for BoI is actually based on the story of Abraham & Isaac

GnomeSlicE

@QAdley I've noticed that too, but it could be a coincidence. I'm guessing the name 'Isaac' was chosen because he is going to be sacrificed, though.

Ronan Forman

You even fight envy, vanity etc through the game.

QAdley

@GnomeSlicE Here's the bible passage: lolcatbible.com/index.php?title=Genesis_22

GnomeSlicE

To be honest, I think they took the 'biblical' thing a little far, none of the stuff makes any sense together, it's just like 'hey, lets put a bunch of bible references in this'.

FAE

@GnomeSlicE It's deliberate

GnomeSlicE

@QAdley ...What the fuck is this.

QAdley

@GnomeSlicE Meh, it worked for the Matrix

@GnomeSlicE It's the whole Bible, in LOLcat-speak

GnomeSlicE

@QAdley The matrix focused on one 'story', the life of Christ.

BoI just took a bunch of random shit that isn't related and stuck it in the game.

@QAdp @tiddy's answer is the correct one until you label your axes

Mad Scientist

@QAdley I sincerely hope that is automatically created, the thought that someone would manually translate the whole bible into LOLcat-speak

QAdp

@QAdley I'm fine with that =]

QAdley

@MadScientist It's manual, wiki-effort

GnomeSlicE

I only played BoI a handful of times, and each time I made it to the last floor (before mom), so I feel like I've seen most of what the game has to offer. Even though I didn't unlock everything.

@tiddy Wow, why did you delete that.

Mad Scientist

15:27

QAdp

@GnomeSlicE You've never been to the womb?

tiddy

Cause a mod edited it

GnomeSlicE

@QAdp Never made it to Mom. Only played it a few times and didn't like having to figure out what everything did myself.

But I'm guessing it's just like everywhere else.

QAdp

@GnomeSlicE Then you haven't seen most of what the game has to offer, no

@GnomeSlicE You don't know jack about MOTHERFUCKING BRIMSTONE EYES

GnomeSlicE

@QAdp I'm sure it's just more of the same.

I dunno what it is, I just haven't played much of a lot of the games that have really interested me. Like BoI and Super Meat Boy and N+, and Bit.Trip, etc.

fbueckert

@QAdp I've played lots of BoI, and I have no idea what brimstone eyes are.

GnomeSlicE

Although, N+ doesn't save my progress any more, which is why I stopped playing it.

@QAdp brimstone cannot form a laser.

OrigamiRobot

@RESPAWN Beat me to it.

GnomeSlicE

@IanPugsley There it is, image loaded.

fbueckert

@GnomeSlicE It would work better if you didn't try to argue your opinion every time.

@GnomeSlicE I don't think we're having an argument in the "grrr!!! argument!" sense.

It felt like you were trying to make some sort of point about @Wipqozn's comment.

GnomeSlicE

@fbueckert Probably, but I wasn't this time, for example.

Sterno

If anything, you're arguing about my comment about your opinion!

Recursive argumentation

fbueckert

That's the way it works.
1. State your position (ie. your opinion)
2. Someone agrees or disagrees with your position, and states why or why not.
3. If that someone disagrees, and you don't want to argue about it, *stop posting*.
4. If you disagree with their position, you post your argument why.
5. Repeat until horse is dead. Again.

This is the de-facto method to arguments; if you don't want to argue, don't engage.

@Sterno It never was funny, as far as I'm concerned. Constantly insulting and sometimes violently threatening someone because you don't like their music is not amusing, nor is it 'cool'.

There's step 1.

@GnomeSlicE Last I checked, @Wipqozn wasn't violently threatening Justin Bieber.

Step 2

GnomeSlicE

Okay, can we please stop.

I'm tired of arguing about this shit.

@Sterno I'm talking about the 'meme'.

And step 3, where you're continuing it.

@GnomeSlicE And at the end of what I had up there, bolded for your convenience: If you don't want to argue, don't engage.

For my part, if I meet Justin Bieber in person, I promise to be very nice to him.

GnomeSlicE

I'm not a child.

Sterno

I'll almost definitely not punch him in the face.

fbueckert

@Sterno Ditto. Until he does something stupid.

Sterno

Because then I'd go to jail. And jail is bad.

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlicE Then you are safe from @spugsley's wrath.

fbueckert

16:53

@Sterno Jail with baby to support is extremely bad.

Wipqozn

MY word. That was quite the shit storm I missed.

GnomeSlicE

@Wipqozn Of course it was.

Fluttershy

@Wipqozn You started it, didn't you? O.o

Sterno

@spugsley always told me that @Wipqozn is to blame for everything. It's apparently in the FAQ and everything.

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy TEchnically it was ickleislands

@Sterno He's better than Justin Bieber for sure

I mean pixel.

Either way, I found it all very amusing.

@Sterno Truth.

Sterno

16:56

I always mentally read @pixel's name as "pixel islands" now

fbueckert

@Sterno I got to blame him for threatening to ignore me for dissing classic Mega man! Talk about reverse psychology!

Wipqozn

@fbueckert Don't you go talking trash about classic Mega Man.

yo gangsta G fo fizzle, I'll get all up in ur gril'

fbueckert

@Wipqozn Thing is, I didn't even diss classic Mega Man. I just said I like X better.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn Megaman Legends is better than classic Megaman.

fbueckert

@Wipqozn Oh, noes! Gangsta l33t! My one weakness!

Wipqozn

16:59

@fbueckert It's Super Effective!

Wipqozn
