as much as I want to play Deus Ex again, the only one I would play again is human revolution and that's mainly for the soundtrack

Q: What reduces my view distance deep down?

While cruising the bottom of a deep ravine, I found places where my view distance gets reduced in a manner similar to the Void Fog. Thing is, the bottom of the ravine is flat where that occurs.

@privatepansy re:cupcakes - what is chicken floss?

Private Pansy

Rousong

Rousong (肉鬆), also sometimes called meat wool, meat floss, pork floss, flossy pork or pork sung, is a dried meat product with a light and fluffy texture similar to coarse cotton, originating from Fujian, China. Rousong is used as a topping for many foods, such as congee, tofu, and savory soy milk. It is also used as filling for various buns and pastries, and as a snack food on its own. Rousong is a very popular food item in Chinese culture, as evidenced by its ubiquitous use in Chinese cuisine. Production Rousong is made by stewing cuts of pork in a sweetened soy sauce mixture until ind...

@Ktash ah, cool. Do we use it for anything else?

James

Or anyone else want to Minecraft PvP? we need one more player ofr even team

Ktash

Not that I know of

OrigamiRobot

7:17 PM

@Ktash I thought we weren't using either of those stupid names.

Ktash

@OrigamiRobot It was the only suggestions I got...

If you have a better one, you should definitely request it in the thread

Ben Brocka

Why not just Arqade Gamers or something

Ktash

We can't use Arqade in our name

user20683

Hi Bridge :D

Ktash

See here

Ben Brocka

7:19 PM

Did you ever ask SE directly about this specifically? It seems extremely dumb to run a "YOU KNOW WHO" charity marathon. SE might make an exception for the specific event. It's different from a generic facebook page

Ktash

I haven't yet. If there is interest in using a name that includes Arqade, I will reach out to them and ask

but so far I haven't really heard many suggestions with the name, or at all

Ben Brocka

I'd just ask, they're not going to set you on fire for asking

Ktash

No, I don't think they would. But how would we plan on using it?

Again, if we have a suggestion, I'm more than willing to follow up and ask. But no one has really suggested any names so far other than arqadians/arqanoids

Ben Brocka

"Arqade charity marathon" would be ideal. Considering they would have to do almost zero work they might be onboard to make it something more official. It's basically free PR and they have done assorted branded events in the past, not sure about charity ones though

Ktash

Arqade Charity Marathon seems a bit long for a site name or, more importantly, a URL

At the moment, this can all change quickly. Right now I'm using the URLs to develop

Ben Brocka

7:24 PM

ArqadeMarathon would work too

Aqadeathon

Ktash

More ideation than has occured on the email thread so far. I would recommend sending those out to the list, and I can follow up with those two name suggestions with SE

Ben Brocka

I think I have choked Camtasia by making it generate keyboard callouts while gaming

Ben Brocka

7:47 PM

@Ktash Email's really not great for multi-person collaberation...I always hate to hit multiple people's email boxes. I guess I can send those ideas out though

Ktash

Yeah, email is clumsy for it. Unfortunately I couldn't think of a better platform for it. Again, suggestions are welcome

user20683

Trello?

Ktash

Is Trello used for that? I've used Trello once before, and it seemed more like a posting board for things like todo lists

the other benefit to email is that people tend to check it often, where as a site people will sometimes forget about it for long stretches

Ben Brocka

trello has comments and stuff for cards

and you can subscribe to email updates atl east

user20683

as far as planning and collaborating it's an nice tool.

@Ktash uh, I just know how to write a line of text and press Enter

we're going to need at least one column per game

Ktash

8:58 PM

The goals cards are just meant to be for goals

We can do that too

in fact, that's probably a good idea

Ben Brocka

user20683

user20683

Ben Brocka

I might up my bitrate by then but I'm not sure how much

user20683

well in 6 months, I'll be full time in something so I should have a real rig

badp

@BenBrocka Aren't we supposed to be all streaming in some way?

I don't know how that'll work but I suppose that "the central feed" is going to want to be able to switch between the different players or somesuch

Ktash

Well, we can do some combined streaming that will be a central feed. But yes, more streaming people will be better

badp

yeah, what happens if Ben loses suddenly internet connection?

Ben Brocka

Ideally multiple people will have the stream key so worst-case someone else could take the stream

Ktash

9:12 PM

yeah, this will all be part of the practice too

Ben Brocka

I've only had OBS crash on me in one stream though and never dropped a stream for non twitch-is-stupid reasons though

Ktash

in seeing how everything handles it

badp

Welp this should be a little bit of structure for the BL2 effort, which is probably the most complicated one

Ktash

yeah, that will be the biggest

with so many people, we're going to have to make sure we have as many streams as possible

I'll probably be online for that one (with a backup) to work on mixing the streams together

badp

There, I even added a deadline to spice things up

Sunday 16th is mod abuse o' clock :P

@Fluttershy I deleted it because it didn't seem like an answer to the question, only a workaround.

Looking back at the question now though, it seems like it would be fine if I just edited it to say "you can't" and then mentioned the workaround.

I'm gonna undelete and add a comment apologizing.

Fluttershy

@Mana Probably. Because the one that has like 60 something upvotes is pretty much the same thing. =P
