@AshleyNunn This is not news.

@AshleyNunn I could also just buy poffertjes mix from Amazon, it seems. But pans are too expensive!

user15026

Yeah, the pans are where the price really is

Why do you need special pans for tiny pancakes?

user15026

Also, for the first time in my life I have seen how "eet smakelijk" is spelled (Dutch version of bon appetit, I guess) and it is not how I imagined in my head

user15026

5:01 PM

@OrigamiRobot Because they aren't exactly a pancake.

user15026

Poffertjes are AWESOMER

@OrigamiRobot lmfao

What's the difference?

@AshleyNunn never had....

user15026

5:03 PM

they aren't really a pancake.

user15026

Well, they are

user15026

but they aren't

user15026

Explaining Dutch food is hard

@AshleyNunn How did you imagine it?

user15026

@FAE With more a's in, because that is how my family says it

user15026

5:04 PM

there are a lot more a sounds

@AshleyNunn This explains nothing.

@AshleyNunn I feel like i could eat 200 of them....

@AshleyNunn What kind of a's though, NA or Dutch?

and still want bacaon.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot It does if you know baking.

5:04 PM

@ZeroStack You could, and you should.

@AshleyNunn Since I don't, it doesn't.

user15026

@FAE long a's, like NA a's in "ate"

@AshleyNunn I am having poffertjes for dinner, which is why @Fluttershy is all jealous.

user15026

@FAE NOW I AM JEALOUS TOO

@Fluttershy challlenge accepted.

5:05 PM

@FAE I hate you!

@AshleyNunn "ee" in Dutch is long a for NA

@Fluttershy Liar.

@FAE Hush it up, you.

user15026

@FAE Yeah, I know, but since I speak little Dutch, it doesn't -look- right.

user15026

@Fluttershy So many lies.

How to make pancakes:
1. Order pancakes.
2. Wait.
3 Enjoy pancakes.

user15026

5:06 PM

And because we have always just spoken it and no one writes it ever, it looks weird.

@Fluttershy I can hush up but I will still be having poffertjes for dinner.

@FAE hangs up on you

user15026

@FAE So basically, you win.

@Fluttershy You're still lying to me~

@AshleyNunn Indeeds. :D

@FAE >_< Damn it.

5:07 PM

I just ate this

It's healthy, because CARROTS

Tim Stone

@FAE I'm jealous, but I also just had a delicious Reuben, so I'll live.

user15026

@Sterno For sure. That is totally logical.

@AshleyNunn You're taking Dutch this summer, right?

user15026

@FAE I am!

user15026

I am scared I will suck at it :P

5:08 PM

You should write me snail mail letters to practice and I will totally write you back. We can be (unnecessary because of email but whatevs) pen pals!

user15026

@FAE THAT WOULD BE THE COOLEST

@Sterno I am throwing money at the screen but nothing is happening ...

I will write you letters!

user15026

Even if I just ask you about your food choices a lot (thats what I learned mostly the last time I took it last summer)

@ZeroStack Stick it in the box

user15026

5:09 PM

I just like writing letters and sending them and getting mail

user15026

mail is the best

@AshleyNunn Incidentally @Fluttershy has the bottom half of the piece of paper I wrote you the letter on when I sent you the Rosy Rupeeland. XD I was sending you both stuff at the time, so I split the one piece.

user15026

@FAE That is kinda awesome

user15026

That letter is pinned to my corkboard along with other random stuff I like.

Mine is two feet away from me. =P

5:11 PM

@AshleyNunn That's fine! Though I don't eat a lot of traditionally Dutch stuff. Letters are fun though!

I keep mine under my pillow.

Oh wait, I didn't get one. That's where I keep my tears of loneliness.

user15026

@Fluttershy Right now it in front of me :D (Corkboard is over my desk)

user15026

@FAE I know non-Dutch food words! :D

@AshleyNunn Yay!

user15026

I love writing letters and getting letters

user15026

5:12 PM

serious

Me too, though my handwriting's terrible.

I try to make it legible when I write to people, but my handwriting for my own use is pretty damn bad.

@AshleyNunn Do you have a P.O. Box? Lets all send her letters to cheer her up from having a crappy day !

user15026

Mine is terribad. Seriously. Nothing worse than having to translate love letters for an SO because they can't read your writing (I have learned to block print more often than not)

@FAE False.

[ I just re-read that, and that sounds super creepy lol sorry ]

user15026

5:14 PM

@ZeroStack For serious, anyone who wants to be my penpal would be awesome and I would send you letters

user15026

@ZeroStack awww, no, it made me smile :D

Q: What are the consequences of stealing in BioShock Infinite?

@AshleyNunn I've never had very pretty handwriting at all.

user15026

@FAE Yeaaaah, me neither. It's all over the place.

At the beginning of Soldier's Field, a tooltip says, "Stealing may have consequences." What are the consequences? Does it affect a morality decision later in the game (please use spoilers tags for specifics)? When is it stealing? Does someone have to be looking or just be nearby? How do they rea...

Q: Are any safes important to check?

1

I've found that safes cost around five lockpicks for 261 or 287ish in loot. This doesn't seem like an even trade. Are there any safes that include gear or something else rare/valuable, or are they always just money and consumables? If the former, which? If the latter, I'd prefer to just skip them...

Q: Can I ever run out of lockpicks?

3

Are there always enough lockpicks in a level to satisfy all of the level's locks? For instance, if I pick a safe before a door in a level, is it possible that I'll run out of lockpicks and be stuck, or are there always enough scattered about a level to accommodate?

@Fluttershy You are biased, hush.

5:16 PM

@FAE Being biased has nothing to do with being able to read handwriting!

@Fluttershy My statement stands.

As does mine.

And now... Taco Bell.

Get a room you three :P

@OrigamiRobot Wanna join? <3

SaintWacko

What...

5:18 PM

Food time!

SaintWacko

Where did I get a unicorn corpse...?

@Fluttershy I threw @AshleyNunn in the mix as the third.

@AshleyNunn Well good ! Where should your bounty be sent to then ?

user15026

@OrigamiRobot Can't say I would complain overmuch.

user15026

OKAY SO

user15026

5:19 PM

if you want to write me:

user15026

(I will take this down soonish)

I can't write in Dutch.

user15026

IF you send me bobcats, anything creepy, or anything that makes me unhappy, I will throw ALL THE ROCKS AT YOU

user15026

@OrigamiRobot I can write english you silly robot

user15026

Also, I live in a basement apartment of a very nice family. don't make them hate me.

5:22 PM

@AshleyNunn hmmm I have never mailed anything to canada.... I wonder if I have to specify canada and can just put in my mailbox lol....

I am totally going to send you creepy things.

@ZeroStack Needs extra stamps.

Sconibulus

Send her hats!

user15026

@ZeroStack Well, I mailed @Fluttershy a card with just a Canadian stamp (not an international one) so it might be okay

@FAE like +/- 10 ?

user15026

5:22 PM

Usually they recommend an international stamp

@ZeroStack I don't remember how many, I haven't mailed anything from the US in a while. You need an international stamp though, at the very least.

user15026

but I find if it is just like a standard letter, conventional postage usually works

user15026

but that might just be Canada being awesomer

Hmm alright. I think I'll just play it safe and just go to USPS to figure it out what they want to be happy.

I'm going to mail you sticks and dirt and stuff.

user15026

5:25 PM

@OrigamiRobot You are teh worst.

:(

@OrigamiRobot I honestly think that is illegal... ( the soil part). I dont remember where I read that though

user15026

I took the address down - if you still want it, ping me on Steam or somesuch

@AshleyNunn Or you can fix the travesty and make me owner again so I can read it.

user15026

:8798044 Oh, sorry, I suck

5:26 PM

^jk.

I have it.

user15026

@ZeroStack Making me feel bad and everything! MY WORD

user15026

@OrigamiRobot SO DEMANDING

I googled it to see if I need to specifcy Canada in the mailing addr.

(dont judge me and my lack of knowledge on international shipping requirements)

user15026

@ZeroStack no worries. I usually specify the country, but I have had mail get to like the Netherlands and stuff without a country on it (I mailed a lot of Christmas cards to relatives, forgot the country on most. They got them!)

I always specify country to just reduce the chance of stuff going Horribly Wrong.

user15026

5:30 PM

@FAE yeaaaah

and now time for poffertjes dinner!

user15026

once, my sister sent me a letter here that had the wrong city, half the wrong postal code, and the wrong street direction, and I still got it! It was magical.

user15026

@FAE enjoy!

@AshleyNunn Bedankt!

user15026

5:31 PM

@FAE knows that word, feels like a rockstar forever

@Sterno FU!

user15026

OHM Y GOD

user15026

NEWFOUNDLAND FRIES ARE THE MOST DELICIOUS

@Blem If it helps, I didn't eat the exact one pictured there. And it cost $9.99

On the other hand, it was the size of a small horse and I still have half of it left in the fridge.

Blem

@Sterno I would hunt down your fridge and eat it, but I got work tomorrow and the travel time would make me late for it.

5:37 PM

@Blem the fridge is stainless steel and likely not tasty.

Sounds tasty to me.

@AshleyNunn Poutine?

user15026

@ShotgunNinja yes, with peas and onions and stuffing too

@AshleyNunn Oh my goodness, that sounds fantastic.

@ShotgunNinja GROSS

user15026

5:38 PM

@ShotgunNinja It is the most yummy

@OrigamiRobot Yes you are.

user15026

My world has been changed

I will not deny this.

I dunno how the peas work into all of that...

Maybe along with the stuffing.

5:42 PM

@OrigamiRobot Everyone in the world is playing Monster Hunter 3 except for you.

I hate you.

Disney closed LucasArts game publishing. Star Wars 1313 has been canceled.

user15026

@ShotgunNinja They work surprisingly well

@FAE Fuck Disney!

I am sad about this. :(

now goes food

Under gavelkind or primogeniture inheritance, if a ruler has no [eligible] children, is a dynasty member (sibling, uncle, cousin, etc.) who is not a descendant allowed to inherit? I thought that only descendants (children, grandchildren) could inherit under either gavelkind or primogeniture. Ho...

Q: How much money and health do I lose when I die?

I died and my money counter started ticking down, but I didn't see by how much. Does the amount lost scale with the number of deaths, game progression, or difficulty? Also my health bar is partially refilled. Is it always the same amount, or does that scale with factors as well? When I die, is ...
