Mar 1, 2017 8:57 AM - English: that's exciting TLJ
Mar 1, 2017 9:35 AM - SoL DarkLord: I have to remind myself murder is illegal, especially around so many witnesses
Mar 1, 2017 10:33 AM - English: hahaha
Mar 1, 2017 10:33 AM - English: what happened now SoL?
Mar 1, 2017 12:31 PM - Statboy: murder is illegal around zero witness's, you just have a lesser chance of a conviction
Mar 1, 2017 12:39 PM - SoL DarkLord: Some jackass on my line, has a pissy attitude with me.
Mar 1, 2017 12:59 PM - English: Eh witnesses are not the greatest pieces of evidence because people are bad at remembering things properly
Mar 1, 2017 1:32 PM - Statboy: I wish I had gotten a copy of the instructions the judge read to us about considering eye witness accounts. It was actually kinda interesting
Mar 1, 2017 3:02 PM - VaultBot: but let me draw on a 70foot screen
Mar 1, 2017 3:02 PM - theLumberJack: the more eye witnesses the better
Mar 1, 2017 3:03 PM - theLumberJack: there will be less coroboration
Mar 1, 2017 3:25 PM - VaultBot: somehow... i don't think anyone expected any less
Mar 1, 2017 3:25 PM - SoL DarkLord: I just have to remember the dude is on parole. It would be real easy to rid of him.
Mar 1, 2017 4:05 PM - VintagePC: in absence of PF tomorrow... you guys wanna just hang in mumble and play minecraft for a bit?
Mar 1, 2017 4:07 PM - Statboy: i just crashed to desktop in MC
Mar 1, 2017 4:08 PM - VintagePC: were you browsing NEI?
Mar 1, 2017 4:08 PM - VaultBot: i suspect bad employee or animal treatment
Mar 1, 2017 4:08 PM - Statboy: umm
Mar 1, 2017 4:08 PM - Statboy: i think so yes
Mar 1, 2017 4:09 PM - VintagePC: Ok.. if it happens again try to remember what you were trying to get recipies for, I think some of them might cause that
Mar 1, 2017 4:10 PM - Statboy: I was looking for a way to turn blaze powder into a blaze rod, can't remember which one I had clicked on though
Mar 1, 2017 4:14 PM - TimeCrush: I'm thinking coffee time
Mar 1, 2017 4:14 PM - TimeCrush: Then a bit of MC
Mar 1, 2017 4:16 PM - VaultBot: when i said it in mumble and play minecraft for a bit?

Mar 1, 2017 4:18 PM - VintagePC: ok, I'll try to repro
Mar 1, 2017 4:18 PM - Statboy: wow theres crash reports
Mar 1, 2017 4:18 PM - Statboy: would you like?
Mar 1, 2017 4:18 PM - VintagePC: sure, might shed some light in finding a fix
Mar 1, 2017 4:19 PM - VintagePC: saves me having to reproduce ;)
Mar 1, 2017 4:31 PM - VintagePC: ewww... stupid "wait-for-downloads" can you just pastebin them?
Mar 1, 2017 4:38 PM - Statboy: better?
Mar 1, 2017 4:39 PM - VaultBot: yah i'm pretty sure thats like the baseline top 3 unless ive missed some other samurai
Mar 1, 2017 4:39 PM - VintagePC: thanks
Mar 1, 2017 6:38 PM - SoL DarkLord: is it sad I already want to throw my GPU away, and save for a 1080ti?
Mar 1, 2017 8:52 PM - VintagePC: depends what you have now
 
Mar 2, 2017 1:19 AM - Hexalan: i thought this was pretty interesting
Mar 2, 2017 1:19 AM - Hexalan: https://imgur.com/gallery/ETsNc
Mar 2, 2017 7:22 AM - VaultBot: oh vintage you will
Mar 2, 2017 7:22 AM - theLumberJack: aw man i get my iron ring on saturday
Mar 2, 2017 7:22 AM - theLumberJack: so surreal
Mar 2, 2017 10:44 AM - Statboy: Is it the one ring to rule them all
Mar 2, 2017 11:03 AM - English: What time we starting tonight? I am wifeless
Mar 2, 2017 11:04 AM - English: Nevermind! I saw SoL's message
Mar 2, 2017 11:04 AM - English: Wednesday next week it is :)
Mar 2, 2017 11:07 AM - TimeCrush: Dang Hex, we gotta get into that news game. Play both sides of the table so house always wins.
Mar 2, 2017 11:30 AM - theLumberJack: lol
Mar 2, 2017 11:46 AM - Statboy: except who has ever heard of the news sites in the link hex gave?
Mar 2, 2017 11:47 AM - Statboy: they're just trying to be clickbait, and people are fairly well onto avoiding clickbait
Mar 2, 2017 1:55 PM - VintagePC: We doing minecraft and mumble tonight?
Mar 2, 2017 3:02 PM - TimeCrush: I'm going to go check that "Get Out" finally
Mar 2, 2017 3:39 PM - Statboy: i got nothing better
Mar 2, 2017 4:46 PM - VaultBot: yeah lol. i havent played in many years but most i looked at its just like. my move destroys the world. but no crits and can only be used once a day so its not op.
Mar 2, 2017 4:46 PM - VintagePC: I'mma grab a shower and then fire up derpcraft
Mar 2, 2017 7:18 PM - TimeCrush: "My move destroys the world" Solid VB, solid.
 
Mar 3, 2017 12:57 PM - TimeCrush: Get Out was intense. Highly recommend you take a look but don't read anything about it beforehand
Mar 3, 2017 4:36 PM - VintagePC: aha, possible progress on the derpcraft server issues
Mar 3, 2017 5:03 PM - Statboy: what was the problem?
Mar 3, 2017 5:22 PM - VintagePC: I think there's a clientside only mod that accidentally got deployed to the server.
Mar 3, 2017 5:23 PM - VintagePC: the enderio error was a red herring
Mar 3, 2017 5:28 PM - Statboy: ahh
Mar 3, 2017 5:35 PM - VintagePC: soooo... it's remove all the mods and add them back bit by bit until I find the culprit
Mar 3, 2017 6:09 PM - Statboy: AE 2 was the one with the missing thing
Mar 3, 2017 6:11 PM - VintagePC: nah, that was fallout from enderIO failing to load (silicon conflict)
Mar 3, 2017 6:14 PM - Statboy: is the silicon working now?
Mar 3, 2017 6:18 PM - VintagePC: oh it works fine if I run the modpack in singleplayer
Mar 3, 2017 6:18 PM - VintagePC: still trying to determine what is causing it
Mar 3, 2017 6:24 PM - VintagePC: damnit
Mar 3, 2017 6:24 PM - VintagePC: looks like chromaticraft
Mar 3, 2017 6:26 PM - TimeCrush: http://nooooooooooooooo.com/
Mar 3, 2017 6:27 PM - VintagePC: relax, vintage is on it
Mar 3, 2017 6:28 PM - TimeCrush: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes_(band)
Mar 3, 2017 6:33 PM - VintagePC: it's a complicated issue, Chromaticraft triggers it but apparently the bug itself is indeed in enderIO
Mar 3, 2017 6:51 PM - Statboy: TC when I get to the moon, I may want you to dive into a dungeon and fetch schematics for me
Mar 3, 2017 6:51 PM - VintagePC: aright, I'm in the process of deploying the fix... server will need to go down/reboot
Mar 3, 2017 6:52 PM - Statboy: kk i'll log off
Mar 3, 2017 6:52 PM - Statboy: when its back up, i made you that sweet sword of looting again
Mar 3, 2017 6:53 PM - VintagePC: cool
Mar 3, 2017 6:54 PM - VintagePC: may take a bit, making a world backup
Mar 3, 2017 6:55 PM - LavaRed: oh I see how you are
Mar 3, 2017 6:55 PM - LavaRed: you knew I wanted to log in and relax, so it busticated the server
Mar 3, 2017 6:59 PM - Statboy: apparently this is a known issue between those mods
Mar 3, 2017 7:01 PM - Statboy: https://github.com/SleepyTrousers/EnderIO/issues/3298
Mar 3, 2017 7:01 PM - Statboy: Though I'm guessing Vint has already read that thread
Mar 3, 2017 7:03 PM - LavaRed: sooo who actually broke all the things?
Mar 3, 2017 7:03 PM - VintagePC: jeez, untwist your panties already, it's fixed
Mar 3, 2017 7:04 PM - LavaRed: it says no connecty
Mar 3, 2017 7:04 PM - VintagePC: it's booting, miss impatient
Mar 3, 2017 7:04 PM - LavaRed: :angelic
Mar 3, 2017 7:05 PM - LavaRed: all I'm saying is, if you're going to lace my doughnuts with crack, you'd best be prepared to keep the supply flowing :p
Mar 3, 2017 7:05 PM - VintagePC: just for that you get perma-slowness applied in game
Mar 3, 2017 7:05 PM - LavaRed: pft, you're too late. At&T gave me that
Mar 3, 2017 7:05 PM - VintagePC: you get a potion on top of that
Mar 3, 2017 7:06 PM - LavaRed: essence of motherhood? got it
 
Mar 4, 2017 11:16 AM - Statboy: TC did you want teleporter in Minecraft?
Mar 4, 2017 1:36 PM - VintagePC: well... I have an MFE and some nano armor now, but it takes forever to charge on a generator :p
Mar 4, 2017 2:28 PM - TimeCrush: Fuck yeah TC wanted a teleporter in minecraft
Mar 4, 2017 3:49 PM - VaultBot: you say that....but you don't knooooooowwww :d
Mar 4, 2017 3:49 PM - Statboy: you left when I was passing them out, i have a set for you
 
Mar 6, 2017 9:15 AM - Statboy: one of my old colleagues sent me a joke
Mar 6, 2017 9:16 AM - Statboy: it said "Cheer up, someone always has it worse than you, after all somewhere out there is a Mr.Pelosi."
Mar 6, 2017 9:18 AM - Statboy: For our Canadian friend's Nancy Pelosi was the Democrats last speaker of the house, before the Republicans took over
Mar 6, 2017 9:28 AM - VaultBot: damn, not on netlfix. so much easier
Mar 6, 2017 9:28 AM - TimeCrush: I was too young to remember anything specific, but I remember that name getting dropped like it was the hot new single Featuring artist.
Mar 6, 2017 9:38 AM - Statboy: She is to Republicans what Trump is to Democrats. A crass, foul mouthed fool
Mar 6, 2017 9:40 AM - Statboy: Some people make the case, that the Speaker of the House is more powerful than the President. So, an American should always know who the Speaker is for the same reason that they should always know who the Pres is and who their Governor is
Mar 6, 2017 9:49 AM - TimeCrush:
latest

Mar 6, 2017 9:49 AM - TimeCrush: Looks like her.
Mar 6, 2017 9:54 AM - TimeCrush: Some for some mid-morning diggydiggy hole
Mar 6, 2017 3:57 PM - Hexalan: people still care about nancy pelosi?
 
Mar 8, 2017 at 9:39 AM - VaultBot: nah, i try to repro
Mar 8, 2017 at 9:39 AM - theLumberJack: graldor smash
Mar 8, 2017 at 11:18 AM - Statboy: It seems like people love to hate the current music. I kinda want to bring back the Macarena just to remind everybody what a truly terrible song is.
Mar 8, 2017 at 2:38 PM - VintagePC: I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN
Mar 8, 2017 at 3:26 PM - LavaRed: vintage what did you DO?!
Mar 8, 2017 at 3:27 PM - theLumberJack: HE GOT KNOCKED DOWN
Mar 8, 2017 at 3:27 PM - theLumberJack: BUT HE GOT UP AGAIN
Mar 8, 2017 at 3:28 PM - LavaRed: my crack of mines! it's....it's non-connectable!
Mar 8, 2017 at 3:31 PM - theLumberJack: HE GOT KNOCKED
Mar 8, 2017 at 3:31 PM - theLumberJack: HE LEFT THE SERVER DOWN
Mar 8, 2017 at 3:32 PM - LavaRed: :bawling
Mar 8, 2017 at 4:18 PM - VintagePC: A suitable bribe will fix that
Mar 8, 2017 at 4:35 PM - SoL DarkLord: would a suitable bribe be the not death of your character tonight?
Mar 8, 2017 at 4:40 PM - VintagePC: that's not a bribe, that's coercement
Mar 8, 2017 at 5:00 PM - VaultBot: nah my screen lighting takes more battery life than using free wifi is not the worst french phrasing i've seen in a fire
Mar 8, 2017 at 5:00 PM - SoL DarkLord: the promise of life is a bribe. the threat of loss of life is coercement.
Mar 8, 2017 at 5:01 PM - VintagePC: perhaps you should revise your definitions... bribe is giving something they didn't already have, threatening to take away is blackmail
Mar 8, 2017 at 5:02 PM - SoL DarkLord: Well your character doesn't have the promise of life.
Mar 8, 2017 at 5:04 PM - theLumberJack: lol
Mar 8, 2017 at 5:04 PM - theLumberJack: when do we start again
Mar 8, 2017 at 5:06 PM - SoL DarkLord: 7:30 as regular.
Mar 8, 2017 at 5:07 PM - VaultBot: i still beat it with my fk still
Mar 8, 2017 at 5:07 PM - theLumberJack: yeah but which timezone
Mar 8, 2017 at 5:19 PM - VintagePC: well that's nice
Mar 8, 2017 at 5:24 PM - VintagePC: the power bump corrupted some world data
Mar 8, 2017 at 5:25 PM - VintagePC: I guess this is where we find out if the backups are any good...
Mar 8, 2017 at 5:26 PM - SoL DarkLord: est]
Mar 8, 2017 at 6:09 PM - VintagePC: server is back up, please report any issues if you find them. Hopefully no chunks have gotten corrupted.
Mar 8, 2017 at 6:13 PM - VaultBot: one time too many
Mar 8, 2017 at 6:13 PM - English: I'm feeding my daughter now. Hope to be on within the hour
Mar 8, 2017 at 6:18 PM - SoL DarkLord: alright Engrish.
Mar 8, 2017 at 8:44 PM - theLumberJack: lavar
Mar 8, 2017 at 8:46 PM - SoL DarkLord: Engrish, they wrecked the Ghelarn you guys woke up, while it was awake and moving.
Mar 8, 2017 at 8:47 PM - theLumberJack: Graldor smashed.
Mar 8, 2017 at 8:57 PM - SoL DarkLord: King is at it again. They're trying to trademark the word "Super" in relation to games. >.>
 
Mar 8, 2017 10:13 PM - VaultBot: wtf? i just tap into the wifi of wherever i am
Mar 8, 2017 10:13 PM - Hexalan: i left my charger somewhere, so i'm using my old laptop right now
Mar 8, 2017 10:13 PM - Hexalan: everything feels strangely different
Mar 8, 2017 10:13 PM - Hexalan: even the display looks weird, i can't tell how but the lighting seems off
Mar 9, 2017 8:51 AM - theLumberJack: could be the colour balance
Mar 9, 2017 8:53 AM - theLumberJack: I got second monitor for my desktop and they're different manufacturers
Mar 9, 2017 8:53 AM - theLumberJack: and different qualities
Mar 9, 2017 8:53 AM - theLumberJack: i spent hours trying to get the colour balanced between the two of them
Mar 9, 2017 9:19 AM - Statboy: Trademarking a single word shouldn't be allowed
Mar 9, 2017 9:19 AM - Statboy: imagine if everybody started doing that, the names of everything would have to be completely made up.
Mar 9, 2017 9:44 AM - theLumberJack: I'm pretty sure it's not allowed
Mar 9, 2017 9:48 AM - theLumberJack: WIPO case D2006-0655 as example
Mar 9, 2017 10:15 AM - Statboy: That court case found that because Gail is a common name they can't claim exclusive rights, except in its own field (ie Video Games). That judge would uphold the ruling of Super as being trademarked in the video game industry
Mar 9, 2017 10:16 AM - Statboy: but not in other industries
Mar 9, 2017 10:26 AM - TimeCrush: I mean, there was that hullabaloo over those jackasses trying to trademark the word 'React' a bit ago
Mar 9, 2017 10:27 AM - TimeCrush: That was some bs
Mar 9, 2017 10:27 AM - theLumberJack: The distinction of industry is a pretty important one that stat pointed out.
Mar 9, 2017 10:28 AM - theLumberJack: Like Apple is trademarked. Though you could trademark it in another unrelated industry
Mar 9, 2017 10:45 AM - Statboy: so no more Super Meat Boy, Super Mario, or any other Super?
Mar 9, 2017 10:46 AM - Statboy: just did a quick Steam search of Super 1281 titles with Super in their name
Mar 9, 2017 10:55 AM - TimeCrush: I don't agree with trademarking it, but I mean; I assosciate Super with 'SNES, Super Nintendo', and I'm pretty confident games like Super Meat Boy are going after that well known assosciation too. Not maliciously, or to make money off others properties, but as a tongue in cheek nod.
Mar 9, 2017 10:57 AM - theLumberJack: I think 1281 makes super qualify as common
Mar 9, 2017 10:57 AM - theLumberJack: An apple is unrelated to computers. At this point, games are super
Mar 9, 2017 12:41 PM - theLumberJack: oh god this lecture is on bureaucracy
Mar 9, 2017 1:04 PM - Statboy: The bureaucracy is expanding, to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy
Mar 9, 2017 1:06 PM - theLumberJack: lol exactly
Mar 9, 2017 1:07 PM - Statboy: One of my neighbors invited me over for a goodbye lunch today. I haven't eaten that well since thanksgiving, dude went all out
Mar 9, 2017 1:09 PM - theLumberJack: thats awesome!
Mar 9, 2017 1:11 PM - Statboy: best part of a small town is the cooking
Mar 9, 2017 1:11 PM - Statboy: because nobody ever eats out, since we only have 3 restaurants and 5 fast food joints
Mar 9, 2017 6:19 PM - Statboy: Vint, are you available for Chunk Spawning?
Mar 9, 2017 7:27 PM - VintagePC: I'm about to play some derpcraft now
Mar 9, 2017 7:35 PM - VaultBot: of the fbi, cia and nsa
Mar 9, 2017 7:35 PM - Statboy: sweet
Mar 9, 2017 9:02 PM - VintagePC: oh man... I hope the server doesn't start lagging too bad... it's schlepping a lot of CPU
 
Mar 10, 2017 9:38 AM - Statboy: is it gonna be able to handle more dimensions? Because we haven't begun to travel
Mar 10, 2017 9:43 AM - theLumberJack: take it up to 11!
Mar 10, 2017 10:02 AM - Statboy: LJ you should be exploring with us
Mar 10, 2017 10:08 AM - theLumberJack: haha maybe after i finish this whole school thing
Mar 10, 2017 10:08 AM - theLumberJack: march is the busiest month
Mar 10, 2017 10:45 AM - TimeCrush: Stat, I found a moon boss
Mar 10, 2017 10:45 AM - TimeCrush: Couldn't defeat him, but I've got his location and I'm geared up whenever you are ready
Mar 10, 2017 10:45 AM - TimeCrush: I believe that is the location of our schematics
Mar 10, 2017 11:10 AM - VaultBot: then the pov does its job and things look okay
Mar 10, 2017 11:10 AM - TimeCrush: Aw server down looks like
Mar 10, 2017 11:15 AM - Statboy: i'll be on closer to 3 central I think
Mar 10, 2017 11:40 AM - VintagePC: Power bumps are not good for minecraft servers. I'll have to look when I get home
Mar 10, 2017 1:37 PM - killer_yoshi: what time is it over there
Mar 10, 2017 1:42 PM - VintagePC: 3is eastern?
Mar 10, 2017 1:42 PM - killer_yoshi: thats not bad
Mar 10, 2017 1:42 PM - killer_yoshi: how you been?
Mar 10, 2017 1:46 PM - VintagePC: Not bad, yourself?
Mar 10, 2017 1:47 PM - killer_yoshi: doing all right, was watching tf2 highlights which led me back here
Mar 10, 2017 2:14 PM - LavaRed: trying to get all my work and homework done now so gaming can happen later
Mar 10, 2017 2:27 PM - VaultBot: thanks snuffles! i want you to find a working diablo patch that won't fuck up my colors...
Mar 10, 2017 2:27 PM - English: boop
Mar 10, 2017 2:31 PM - theLumberJack: beep
Mar 10, 2017 2:50 PM - VintagePC: Biip?
Mar 10, 2017 3:03 PM - LavaRed: schnarf
Mar 10, 2017 3:12 PM - theLumberJack: schnoof
Mar 10, 2017 3:24 PM - Statboy:
zip-zop-zoobity-bop.jpg

Mar 10, 2017 3:40 PM - English: Thats a real interesting way to say rohypnol...
Mar 10, 2017 3:43 PM - LavaRed: bless you
Mar 10, 2017 3:44 PM - English: ;)
Mar 10, 2017 4:09 PM - Statboy: you don't know how hard i had to look to find a Cosby meme that wasn't about rape
Mar 10, 2017 8:18 PM - Statboy: TC I found a boss dungeon just east of my base and cleared it out, it gave me moon buggy schematics instead of rocket schematics
Mar 10, 2017 8:24 PM - VintagePC: still pretty neat
 
Mar 11, 2017 12:29 AM - Hexalan: can you store a repeating rifle loaded without bad things happening?
Mar 11, 2017 8:01 AM - VaultBot: and not have heard it is, fits and the tantrums.
Mar 11, 2017 8:01 AM - VintagePC: that just sounds irresponsible
Mar 11, 2017 9:17 AM - Statboy: 2 questions, does it have a safety (is so what kind) and what kind of children or irresponsible adults will be around it
Mar 11, 2017 9:18 AM - Statboy: There is a safety specifically designed to prevent a gun from firing when dropped. However if you have a gun vault that stores the gun properly then it won't fall
Mar 11, 2017 9:20 AM - Statboy: Its irresponsible to leave a gun and ammo where a child or a fool could get to it, no matter what kind of safeties it has.
Mar 11, 2017 9:21 AM - Statboy: TL;DR https://www.walmart.com/ip/Stack-On...un-Ready-to-Assemble-Storage-Cabinet/14707408
Mar 11, 2017 9:55 AM - theLumberJack: Then for the canadian answer
Mar 11, 2017 9:55 AM - theLumberJack: it is illegal to store a weapon loaded
Mar 11, 2017 9:56 AM - theLumberJack: it is also recommended to have the ammo locked up separately or at a different location
Mar 11, 2017 12:51 PM - Hexalan: i was wondering more about the condition of the gun
Mar 11, 2017 12:53 PM - VaultBot: the earth doesn't spin...has to be precise
Mar 11, 2017 12:53 PM - Hexalan: like if it would degrade the parts or somesuch
Mar 11, 2017 1:03 PM - theLumberJack: what kind of casings are the rounds in?
Mar 11, 2017 1:03 PM - theLumberJack: you probably wouldn't want to store rounds with steel casings in a magazine because of the rust
Mar 11, 2017 1:05 PM - Hexalan: this isn't a personal problem - something i saw in a movie and was wondering if it was reasonable
Mar 11, 2017 1:05 PM - Hexalan: shaun of the dead if you've seen it - they've got a loaded winchester hanging above the bar
Mar 11, 2017 1:06 PM - theLumberJack: I thought they pulled the rounds out from the bar?
Mar 11, 2017 1:10 PM - theLumberJack: and then the box of rounds starts going off when the bar catches fire
Mar 11, 2017 1:13 PM - Hexalan: they argue about whether or not it's a real gun and/or loaded before they pull it off the mantle
Mar 11, 2017 1:15 PM - Hexalan: and when they finally get it down he accidentally discharges it in the middle of claiming that it isn't
Mar 11, 2017 1:15 PM - Hexalan: then they dig around and find the box of bullets after
Mar 11, 2017 1:16 PM - theLumberJack: ah yes you are correct
Mar 11, 2017 1:17 PM - theLumberJack: but yeah that's feasible
Mar 11, 2017 1:17 PM - theLumberJack: probably brass casings
Mar 11, 2017 3:45 PM - Statboy: So in Canada if somebody breaks into your house, do you politely ask the intruder to wait while you load the weapon?
Mar 11, 2017 3:46 PM - Statboy: or is the law just, you can't have a chambered bullet/shell, which isn't quite as unreasonable
Mar 11, 2017 4:54 PM - theLumberJack: People don't buy guns for home defense
Mar 11, 2017 4:54 PM - theLumberJack: Guns are for hunting and sport
Mar 11, 2017 4:58 PM - theLumberJack: From what I've noticed if people are worried about something like that they get a large dog or a security system
Mar 11, 2017 5:02 PM - TimeCrush: I think we are missing the larger point of the story: https://www.inverse.com/article/28866-simon-pegg-nick-frost-writing-new-project-spaced-cornetto
Mar 11, 2017 5:02 PM - TimeCrush: Nick Frost and Simon Pegg are in the process of jammin'
Mar 11, 2017 5:06 PM - theLumberJack: Neat
Mar 11, 2017 5:07 PM - VaultBot: a borderlands game i am actually excited about. only took them 3 games.
Mar 11, 2017 5:07 PM - theLumberJack: Additionally in Canada trespass isn't a criminal offense. If they break in then legally you could use reasonable force to make a citizen's arrest
Mar 11, 2017 5:08 PM - theLumberJack: It would only ever be legal to shoot someone in self-defense
Mar 11, 2017 5:08 PM - theLumberJack: Not in defense of property
Mar 11, 2017 5:12 PM - theLumberJack: Besides I would loath to clean up after shooting someone
Mar 11, 2017 5:12 PM - theLumberJack: what a mess that would be
Mar 11, 2017 5:31 PM - Statboy: its the same in most of America, but the courts have typically held, that you are using self defense against a home intruder because you don't know why they are there. My conceal and carry course added that you have to say "Leave now or I'll shoot" and give them a chance to leave
Mar 11, 2017 5:33 PM - Statboy: Basically if someone breaks into your home while you are there, you don't have to ask them if they are just to rob you or to harm you. You can assume the worst
Mar 11, 2017 6:06 PM - VaultBot: skynet, here we come!
Mar 11, 2017 6:06 PM - theLumberJack: Unless they pull a weapon on you, if you shoot them dead it's murder.
Mar 11, 2017 6:08 PM - theLumberJack: This article describes it well. It is from 2012
Mar 11, 2017 6:11 PM - Statboy: I'm not a fan of that, its basically wait until they stab or shoot you before you can defend yourself. It makes me wonder how many people have died being afraid to defend themselves?
Mar 11, 2017 6:20 PM - VaultBot: holy shit i just don't know whether
Mar 11, 2017 6:20 PM - theLumberJack: From my experience if you're afraid to defend yourself because of legal ramifications you probably aren't going to anyway
Mar 11, 2017 6:20 PM - theLumberJack: and it's not that you cant use anyforce, just restricted to within reason
Mar 11, 2017 6:22 PM - Statboy: I'll try to find a video that our local cops passed around
Mar 11, 2017 6:23 PM - Statboy: It's all from police cam's, but it shows just how fast a situation goes from calm to deadly. When people want to do bad things, they can act normal right up until they pull the gun and start shooting
Mar 11, 2017 6:25 PM - theLumberJack: I'm well aware
Mar 11, 2017 6:25 PM - theLumberJack: which is why i doubt people are thinking "i'm going to need to call my lawyer after this"
Mar 11, 2017 6:26 PM - theLumberJack: The instinct to stay alive goes too deep
Mar 11, 2017 6:26 PM - Statboy: its not after its before that concerns me
Mar 11, 2017 6:27 PM - VaultBot: fuck... can't download minecraft, which i haven't done since my new hard drive, because minecraft.net is apparently down.
Mar 11, 2017 6:27 PM - Statboy: for an example, I was walking to my car after baseball game that ended after midnight in Springfield. What look a lot like a gang is across the street, a couple of them started pointing at me, then they started across the road
Mar 11, 2017 6:27 PM - Statboy: I pulled my conceal and carry, pointed at the ground, looked at them and told them to stay on the other side of the road until I was gone. I would've shot if they would've kept coming
Mar 11, 2017 6:28 PM - Statboy: A Canadian would have had to let the gang get right up to them
Mar 11, 2017 6:29 PM - Statboy: But I was within American law, and it probably saved me from getting robbed or beaten
Mar 11, 2017 6:29 PM - theLumberJack: That is an offensive generalisation, and would be wrong the majority of the time.
Mar 11, 2017 6:30 PM - theLumberJack: Don't take our stricter gun laws for our citizens being naive.
Mar 11, 2017 6:30 PM - Statboy: at noon yes, after midnight when there aren't many people around no, its not an offensive generalization
Mar 11, 2017 6:30 PM - theLumberJack: I don't mean your depiction of the gang
Mar 11, 2017 6:31 PM - Statboy: from your description I would've been breaking Canadian law
Mar 11, 2017 6:32 PM - Statboy: I'm not saying Canadians are Naive, I'm saying the law doesn't let you act on your instincts until its too late
Mar 11, 2017 6:32 PM - theLumberJack: Well it's common law statboy, it's not black and white.
Mar 11, 2017 6:33 PM - Statboy: I don't want to have to worry about all that if I see what is probably an imminent threat to my person, but can't be certain
Mar 11, 2017 6:34 PM - theLumberJack: Your choice of action isn't even an option here without breaking the law
Mar 11, 2017 6:34 PM - theLumberJack: There are no carry permits
Mar 11, 2017 6:34 PM - VaultBot: even with that -2 modifier it is still the only full face transplant
Mar 11, 2017 6:34 PM - theLumberJack: Guns are for hunting and sport.
Mar 11, 2017 6:35 PM - Statboy: What can you do to defend yourself at that point? call the police, so they know where to find your body?
Mar 11, 2017 6:35 PM - theLumberJack: Even in the security business, only armored transport for cash can have a gun
Mar 11, 2017 6:36 PM - Statboy: Police aren't going to get their in time, and my fat ass isn't out running anybody
Mar 11, 2017 6:38 PM - Statboy: I'm not saying gun laws will make you less likely to get attacked or robbed. But it changes the outcome of the encounter when it happens
Mar 11, 2017 6:39 PM - theLumberJack: I think looser gun laws would make crime worse here. This year my city is the most violent for gun violence in Canada
Mar 11, 2017 6:39 PM - theLumberJack: more guns won't help
Mar 11, 2017 6:40 PM - Statboy: I did a ton of research about gun laws, gun availability, and the crime rate. I can say it doesn't change the number of crimes in either direction
Mar 11, 2017 6:41 PM - theLumberJack: No, but in this instances where the crime is currently occuring more guns is not going to save anyones lives
Mar 11, 2017 6:41 PM - Statboy: gun laws won't change the chance of somebody attempting to rob or hurt you. Only whether or not you are a victim or get to walk away.
Mar 11, 2017 6:42 PM - Statboy: it only affects self defense on the personal level
Mar 11, 2017 6:43 PM - Statboy: I do hate the two sides of the gun argument both try to say things that aren't true
Mar 11, 2017 6:43 PM - Statboy: one side seems to think every time a gun is made a cute baby orphan dies, and the other side seems to think whenever a gun is bought all crime in a 20 mile radius stops
Mar 11, 2017 6:44 PM - Statboy: I just want to shout, YOUR BOTH WRONG
Mar 11, 2017 6:45 PM - theLumberJack: Chicago and Toronto are similar size cities. What are kind of gun laws does Chicago have?
Mar 11, 2017 6:47 PM - theLumberJack: I think they can carry? Or is that just the rest of Illinois?
Mar 11, 2017 6:49 PM - theLumberJack: in 2015 according to the Chicago Tribue 2900 people were shot. In Toronto in 2015 there were 388 victims of shootings (27 gun related deaths).
Mar 11, 2017 6:53 PM - theLumberJack: Gun laws might not change whether or not someone is going to hurt someone else, but they keep people from dying. Someone who might walk around in a gang today, might not for the rest of his life. Unless someone shoots him dead that is.
Mar 11, 2017 6:56 PM - theLumberJack: So going back to the previous scenario of home defense
Mar 11, 2017 6:56 PM - theLumberJack: When it might even be feasible that a Canadian has a gun with ammo (lawfully)
Mar 11, 2017 6:57 PM - VaultBot: poles* and at the equator is like 1,000 mph
Mar 11, 2017 6:57 PM - Statboy: actually where the 2 sides of the argument got the numbers wrong is doing exactly what you just did
Mar 11, 2017 6:57 PM - Statboy: picking this one city and comparing it to that one city
Mar 11, 2017 6:58 PM - Statboy: you really have to work to not pick the data that supports your theory. Because if you just google this topic, thats the only data you'll find
Mar 11, 2017 6:59 PM - theLumberJack: I picked Toronto because it's our biggest city, and chicago had a comparable population
Mar 11, 2017 6:59 PM - Statboy: Canada vs America in general, American's are much more likely to commit a crime
Mar 11, 2017 6:59 PM - theLumberJack: Yes I would agree
Mar 11, 2017 7:00 PM - Statboy: the nature of the people plays a strong role
Mar 11, 2017 7:00 PM - theLumberJack: That is an entirely different philosophical debate
Mar 11, 2017 7:00 PM - theLumberJack: Whether or not human nature even varies
 
Mar 11, 2017 at 7:02 PM - Statboy: Vint! TC! I did a bad thing
Mar 11, 2017 at 7:03 PM - Statboy: I may have spawned the wither, then my internet proceeded to lag out
Mar 11, 2017 at 7:03 PM - theLumberJack: lol
Mar 11, 2017 at 7:03 PM - theLumberJack: did you break it
Mar 11, 2017 at 7:03 PM - Statboy: I can't hit it because my lag jumped so badly
Mar 11, 2017 at 7:04 PM - theLumberJack: At any rate I must venture downtown for some beers
Mar 11, 2017 at 7:05 PM - Statboy: get your drink on
Mar 11, 2017 at 7:05 PM - theLumberJack: I will drink to not being in Springfield at midnight
Mar 11, 2017 at 7:21 PM - Statboy: Wither down
Mar 11, 2017 at 7:31 PM - VintagePC: all good?
Mar 11, 2017 at 8:05 PM - Hexalan: i like cheesecake and cats
 
Mar 12, 2017 12:33 AM - Hexalan: zombie babies are fucking terrifying
Mar 12, 2017 6:48 PM - Statboy: Vint can we get Mar's pregened eventually?
Mar 12, 2017 6:49 PM - VaultBot: what you just did
Mar 12, 2017 6:49 PM - Statboy: I'm not planning on getting there 2night, but I am ready to go next time I log on
Mar 12, 2017 8:28 PM - VintagePC: I can do that tomorrow night when I hop in
Mar 12, 2017 8:42 PM - VintagePC: Also, I have closed beta keys for GEWNT and lawbreakers should any vaultings be interested.
 
Mar 13, 2017 4:49 AM - theLumberJack: aw man i got excited for another winter storm
Mar 13, 2017 4:50 AM - theLumberJack: doesn't look like it'll make it this far
Mar 13, 2017 6:18 AM - theLumberJack: that feel when your matlab waitbar spawns 100 waitbars instead of restarting
Mar 13, 2017 6:20 AM - VintagePC: don't use waitbar, it's terrible
Mar 13, 2017 6:21 AM - VintagePC: it can actually slow down your code
Mar 13, 2017 6:44 AM - theLumberJack: interesting
Mar 13, 2017 6:44 AM - theLumberJack: not surprising
Mar 13, 2017 6:44 AM - theLumberJack: would you suggest just print statements instead?
Mar 13, 2017 6:45 AM - theLumberJack: or just no indications
Mar 13, 2017 6:45 AM - VintagePC: best quote ever... "as with most things that don't resemble linear algebra... MATLAB does a piss-poor job" -- Paul Sexton
Mar 13, 2017 6:45 AM - VintagePC: heck, anything. Make a small axis with a patch that you resize every update
Mar 13, 2017 6:45 AM - VintagePC: but don't excessive disp/print either, that also bogs down
Mar 13, 2017 6:47 AM - VaultBot: well it's common law statboy, it's not black and white.
Mar 13, 2017 6:47 AM - theLumberJack: is that essentially what waitbar is though
Mar 13, 2017 6:47 AM - VintagePC: yes, but worse
Mar 13, 2017 6:47 AM - VintagePC: so much worse
Mar 13, 2017 6:48 AM - theLumberJack: interesting
Mar 13, 2017 6:48 AM - theLumberJack: if im bored later this week i'll come up with a better solution
Mar 13, 2017 6:49 AM - theLumberJack: i have other things to do while it runs
Mar 13, 2017 6:50 AM - VintagePC: Just update only every 5-10% and you'll be fine
Mar 13, 2017 6:51 AM - theLumberJack: it updates at the end of a for loop. but the computations run in a while loop inside the for loop until i have enough bit errors to have a bit error rate
Mar 13, 2017 6:56 AM - theLumberJack: doing a comparison of forward error correction codes for a lab
Mar 13, 2017 6:08 PM - VintagePC: well that was a murphy's law moment.
Mar 13, 2017 6:08 PM - VintagePC: I dropped a spoon I just used to scoop some mayo. It doesn't just fall on the floor, oh no
Mar 13, 2017 6:09 PM - VintagePC: it STICKS to my clothes and slides down to the floor most of the way, leaving a giant streak of mayo
Mar 13, 2017 6:09 PM - VintagePC: and then about a foot off the floor, it falls, just hard enough to make a splat of mayo that goes everywhere.
Mar 13, 2017 6:10 PM - VintagePC: /quit week
Mar 13, 2017 7:03 PM - Statboy: rofl
Mar 13, 2017 8:20 PM - English: well... its supposed to be snow pacolypse tonight
Mar 13, 2017 8:43 PM - SoL DarkLord: I'm kind of surprised that Michigan isn't getting that weather also, we had a light snowfall, but no snow or rain for the rest of the week.
 
Mar 14, 2017 10:23 AM - Statboy: I don't usually go in for these snowpacolypse tails, but damn
Mar 14, 2017 10:23 AM - Statboy: http://abcnews.go.com/US/house-upstate-york-found-completely-covered-ice/story?id=46093186
Mar 14, 2017 10:24 AM - Statboy: that is fucking cold
Mar 14, 2017 10:25 AM - theLumberJack: how cold?
Mar 14, 2017 11:04 AM - Statboy: check the link
Mar 14, 2017 11:05 AM - theLumberJack: I did but i didn't see a temprature and can't watch the video right now
Mar 14, 2017 11:05 AM - Statboy: the picture says it all, it was below freezing with 80mph winds
Mar 14, 2017 11:06 AM - Statboy: I've not seen a house that covered in ice before
Mar 14, 2017 11:06 AM - theLumberJack: oh
Mar 14, 2017 11:06 AM - theLumberJack: that's not really that uncommon here so
Mar 14, 2017 11:07 AM - theLumberJack: well the winds are but the covered in ice isn't
Mar 14, 2017 11:11 AM - theLumberJack: its pretty neat how it looks though
Mar 14, 2017 11:12 AM - theLumberJack: i didn't live near water growing up but i remember getting so much snow in a storm you could walk up the snowbank onto the roof of our house
Mar 14, 2017 11:23 AM - TimeCrush: I remember when I was about 13 or 14 living out in the boonies with my dad. Lived right on a swamp essentially in a brick house, thank god for the fireplace because that thing got fridged.
Mar 14, 2017 11:23 AM - TimeCrush: Well anyway, one year high water causes the swamp to overflow overtaking most of our backyard
Mar 14, 2017 11:24 AM - TimeCrush: It freezes really hard, then either thaws or does something else I didn't understand because 13 and lets the water beneath it recede
Mar 14, 2017 11:24 AM - TimeCrush: So we have this thick layer of ice that I am light enough to walk on, but it is completely hollow underneath save for squishy ground
Mar 14, 2017 11:25 AM - TimeCrush: Fun jump and stomp times.
Mar 14, 2017 11:25 AM - TimeCrush: Basement flooded though, so not for dad.
Mar 14, 2017 12:08 PM - Statboy: dad's hate it when basements flood
Mar 14, 2017 12:09 PM - Statboy: the one time I remember our basement flooding my dad was at the football game
Mar 14, 2017 12:09 PM - Statboy: http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2016/...game-created-this-iconic-derrick-thomas-photo
Mar 14, 2017 4:36 PM - VintagePC plays taps for the tf2 servers
Mar 14, 2017 4:36 PM - TimeCrush: o7
Mar 14, 2017 4:37 PM - VintagePC: correction. Last Post, not taps
Mar 14, 2017 4:39 PM - VintagePC: ... hm, either is correct, it seems. for some reason I thought one or the other was for the start of the day, the other the end
 
Mar 15, 2017 9:38 AM - VintagePC: gwent or lawbreakers beta codes, anyone?
Mar 15, 2017 9:39 AM - theLumberJack: what is lawbreakers?
Mar 15, 2017 9:58 AM - Statboy: If only there was some website where you ask that very question
Mar 15, 2017 9:59 AM - Statboy: https://www.google.com/search?site=...64.hp..8.11.2067.0..0i131k1j0i3k1.d4H38VQg7tw
Mar 15, 2017 10:37 AM - theLumberJack: it's almost like i had asked it on a website, in a medium for conversations, some kind of box for chatting
Mar 15, 2017 10:44 AM - Statboy: :p
Mar 15, 2017 10:45 AM - theLumberJack: it looks really generic though
Mar 15, 2017 10:46 AM - Statboy: i agree, nothing jumped out at me that said this is better than the other 50 games like it
Mar 15, 2017 10:48 AM - theLumberJack: I got a letter yesterday telling me to expect another letter in 5 months with the expected monthly payment for my loan repayment. so a game would have to be pretty fancy looking at this point to make me consider shelling money out for it
Mar 15, 2017 10:49 AM - Statboy: bills do that
Mar 15, 2017 10:50 AM - theLumberJack: i was surprised at the total, i hadn't realized how much of what i had gotten was grant instead of loan from the province
Mar 15, 2017 10:51 AM - Statboy: Planetside 2 and Orcs Must Die Unchained are the F2P of choice for me
Mar 15, 2017 10:51 AM - theLumberJack: I'll be able to pay off the province by the time i get that letter, the federal stuff will take longer
Mar 15, 2017 10:51 AM - theLumberJack: i didn't know there was a F2P orcs must die
Mar 15, 2017 10:51 AM - theLumberJack: i'll have to check that out
Mar 15, 2017 10:53 AM - VaultBot: getting there vintage? something new is
Mar 15, 2017 10:53 AM - Statboy: yah, its still in Beta, they tried to make ita MOBA and Tower Defense, but it was never balanced and they ditched the MOBA part
Mar 15, 2017 10:54 AM - Statboy: Whats left is an extension of the first two games, a proper sequel but free to play
Mar 15, 2017 10:58 AM - VaultBot: i apparently did not know about it though
Mar 15, 2017 10:58 AM - theLumberJack: neat
Mar 15, 2017 10:58 AM - theLumberJack: i never played the other ones but was always curious
Mar 15, 2017 11:06 AM - Reechard: psh
Mar 15, 2017 11:06 AM - Reechard: free games
Mar 15, 2017 11:07 AM - Reechard: not paying $500+ for a single game in a large wooden box
Mar 15, 2017 11:07 AM - Reechard: psh
Mar 15, 2017 11:12 AM - theLumberJack: lol
Mar 15, 2017 11:12 AM - theLumberJack: maybe one day reechard
Mar 15, 2017 11:39 AM - TimeCrush: Oh man LJ, the magical wonders of grants.
Mar 15, 2017 11:40 AM - TimeCrush: First semester for some reason my financial aid was delayed and I ended up having to pay out of pocket for everything. Struggled for the first month or so to pay for parking and gas let alone lunch.
Mar 15, 2017 11:41 AM - TimeCrush: Was sitting in a 6:00pm class one Thursday and just so happen to check my bank account and saw the few thousand I was awarded (It was a community college). Immediately up and left straight to the food court, best burger and salad I've had then for a hot second.
Mar 15, 2017 11:42 AM - theLumberJack: I have had this experience. (minus the gas and parking, city bus pass)
Mar 15, 2017 11:42 AM - theLumberJack: I have some things to sort out for this semester i think. I got an email telling me to check their site but i hven't had a chance yet this week. Going to wake up early tomorrow to try and tackle it
Mar 15, 2017 2:32 PM - VintagePC: PF tonight or did too many people cancel?
Mar 15, 2017 3:40 PM - Splyons1993: i too would ask this question
Mar 15, 2017 3:45 PM - VintagePC: OMG, best quote ever. "The cheesegrater of social justice"
Mar 15, 2017 4:41 PM - theLumberJack: I thought only I cancelled
Mar 15, 2017 4:41 PM - theLumberJack: and in my absence. All you need know
Mar 15, 2017 4:41 PM - theLumberJack: is Graldor smash.
Mar 15, 2017 5:36 PM - VintagePC: I thought SoL had something too
Mar 15, 2017 5:37 PM - VintagePC: I'm kinda not well today but I'll tough it out if we do, I just ask we don't go too long
Mar 15, 2017 5:42 PM - SoL DarkLord: I never canceled it.
Mar 15, 2017 5:42 PM - SoL DarkLord: But if anythign we would probably stop after the boss. because I'm still prepping the next region.
Mar 15, 2017 5:43 PM - SoL DarkLord: I was working til 5 then took too many people home today, that's why I'm just now getting around to answering this.
Mar 15, 2017 5:43 PM - VintagePC: mkay
Mar 15, 2017 7:37 PM - SoL DarkLord: Pengoo, can you help? I feel as if I am doing something wrong with minecraft.
Mar 15, 2017 7:39 PM - VintagePC: yes?
Mar 15, 2017 7:39 PM - SoL DarkLord: I can't actually get it to launch, with the modpack.
Mar 15, 2017 7:40 PM - VaultBot: like if it would only ever be legal to shoot someone in self-defense
Mar 15, 2017 7:40 PM - VintagePC: doesn't start, or crashes?
Mar 15, 2017 7:40 PM - SoL DarkLord: Doesn't start.
Mar 15, 2017 7:42 PM - VintagePC: does it prompt for your minecraft info?
Mar 15, 2017 7:42 PM - SoL DarkLord: Yes.
Mar 15, 2017 7:42 PM - SoL DarkLord: the code log says it can
Mar 15, 2017 7:42 PM - SoL DarkLord: can't start the virtual machine.
Mar 15, 2017 7:42 PM - VintagePC: hm
Mar 15, 2017 7:43 PM - VintagePC: I assume you clicked 'vaultcraft' in the left hand menu before clicking launch?
Mar 15, 2017 7:43 PM - SoL DarkLord: Well actually it might help if I actually install java on the desktop. xD
Mar 15, 2017 7:44 PM - VintagePC: derp
Mar 15, 2017 7:44 PM - SoL DarkLord: well minecraft was the only reason I ever installed it, and once they stopped using it, I thought why bother. xD
 
Mar 16, 2017 at 10:13 AM - Statboy: you need it for Apache Open Office to save in .docx for some reason
Mar 16, 2017 at 10:14 AM - Statboy: but better than Microsoft Office and free, so why not
Mar 16, 2017 at 12:35 PM - TimeCrush: Ah, Sol to come diggy diggy hole with us. Excellent
Mar 16, 2017 at 12:36 PM - TimeCrush: Have we worked out the lag issues that are rearing their heads each dimension we create?
Mar 16, 2017 at 12:36 PM - TimeCrush: Or is that a thing and will always be a thing?
Mar 16, 2017 at 1:02 PM - TimeCrush: Come fly with me, FLY!
Mar 16, 2017 at 1:04 PM - theLumberJack: The knack to flying
Mar 16, 2017 at 1:04 PM - theLumberJack: is to aim at the ground and miss
Mar 16, 2017 at 1:06 PM - TimeCrush:
Mar 16, 2017 at 1:08 PM - TimeCrush: LJ why don't you play more?
Mar 16, 2017 at 1:08 PM - TimeCrush: Besides being busy with life and all
Mar 16, 2017 at 1:09 PM - theLumberJack: Besides being busy with life and all?!
Mar 16, 2017 at 1:09 PM - theLumberJack: BESIDES THAT?!
Mar 16, 2017 at 1:09 PM - theLumberJack: lol does school count as life and all? that is the main reason
Mar 16, 2017 at 1:09 PM - theLumberJack: I'm also in the atlantic time zone so i go to bed before most of you
Mar 16, 2017 at 1:10 PM - TimeCrush: True true. Planning on taking Summer classes or looking forward to some untime wind then?
Mar 16, 2017 at 1:11 PM - theLumberJack: It's my last semester
Mar 16, 2017 at 1:11 PM - theLumberJack: I start work May 1st!
Mar 16, 2017 at 1:11 PM - TimeCrush: Wow, right outta school into work very nice
Mar 16, 2017 at 1:12 PM - theLumberJack: i'll be working on machines like this
Mar 16, 2017 at 1:13 PM - TimeCrush: Hot damn
Mar 16, 2017 at 1:13 PM - TimeCrush: Watch your fingers/hands/arms/better half of your torso.
Mar 16, 2017 at 1:13 PM - theLumberJack: haha that machine is incedibly safe actually
Mar 16, 2017 at 1:14 PM - theLumberJack: i worked at the company on a work term and overhauled the safety shutdown routines
Mar 16, 2017 at 1:14 PM - TimeCrush: Good looking out right away.
Mar 16, 2017 at 1:16 PM - theLumberJack: Safety is a huge deal at the company. They haven't had a work place safety incident be accident in years
Mar 16, 2017 at 1:17 PM - theLumberJack: like I got the stats for last year in my interview and they were like "Well one guy got his finger cut open and needed two stitches"
Mar 16, 2017 at 1:17 PM - theLumberJack: and it happened in the lunch room
Mar 16, 2017 at 1:17 PM - TimeCrush: Lol
Mar 16, 2017 at 1:18 PM - TimeCrush: What drew you into working with large machinery like that?
Mar 16, 2017 at 1:20 PM - theLumberJack: Nothing, just happened
Mar 16, 2017 at 1:21 PM - theLumberJack: I got a co-op with the company because i had one with an R&D lab at the university that lost it's funding and that's who ended up snatching me up after
Mar 16, 2017 at 1:33 PM - theLumberJack: It's fairly satisfying to be able to do an operating system for a machine like that
Mar 16, 2017 at 1:33 PM - theLumberJack: So that's good
Mar 16, 2017 at 7:00 PM - VintagePC: deep dark portals have been fixed
Mar 16, 2017 at 7:00 PM - VintagePC: in vaultcraft
 
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:31 PM - Reechard: I did a thing the past couple of weeks...
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:31 PM - Reechard: sold half of my arcade games
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:31 PM - Reechard: bought 2 more pinballs
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:32 PM - Reechard: turned the basement into a pin hall with way more space and just a few video games
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:32 PM - Reechard: (by "a few" I mean "still like 10")
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:32 PM - Reechard:

Mar 17, 2017 at 1:33 PM - Statboy: Reechard, why haven't you just opened a Dave and Busters?
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:35 PM - VaultBot: gotta be hosted somewhere first (e.g imgur)
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:35 PM - Reechard: because my stuff are games for entertainment
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:35 PM - Reechard: and D&B is just another casino
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:35 PM - Reechard: whether you get tickets, tokens, or money... gambling is gambling.
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:36 PM - Statboy: ours is an adult Chuck E Cheese. Arcade games, go karts, and pizza
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:36 PM - Statboy: and beer
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:36 PM - Reechard: yeah, most things labeled "arcade" are like that...
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:37 PM - Statboy: to me gambling is an expectation of being able to win money
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:37 PM - Reechard: if there's a counter where you exchange tickets for prizes, chances are I'm not interested in 90% of their content.
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:37 PM - Reechard: thaaaat and I don't really want the general public beating all over my games.
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:37 PM - Reechard: Pinballs beat themselves up enough as it is without letting other people touch them
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:38 PM - Statboy: who cares about the prizes, you go to play with friends. I took my parents there once, not much better than getting mom in a go kart and spinning her out so i can pass inside
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:38 PM - Reechard: haha go karts are fun
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:39 PM - Statboy: My brother and I were beating our GF's in a basketball game, when some little 13 yo old girl comes up and kicks our asses. Topped our high score
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:39 PM - Reechard: I have a couple of games that were pretty low production though... and I maintain my stuff well to preserve it for posterity
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:39 PM - Reechard: then I sell it and buy other stuff :p
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:39 PM - Statboy: Its like being a drug dealer, you don't sell your private stash
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:40 PM - Statboy: you get a public stash
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:40 PM - Reechard: I did a whole lot of dealing, and as I went, my private stash got bigger and bigger, and the public stuff has shrunk a lot.
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:43 PM - Reechard: After 3 years of playing around and getting stuff I thought I wanted that I got bored with in a matter of days
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:43 PM - Reechard: I think I'm finally settled into a good collection of stuff I like
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:43 PM - Reechard: it's gonna take some crazy kind of stuff to make me want to trade away anything I have left
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:45 PM - Statboy: lol
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:47 PM - Reechard: I did stuff like look around and see that I had Space Invaders, GORF, and Galaga
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:48 PM - Reechard: they're all gallery shooters.
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:48 PM - Reechard: why am I using like 30sqft for 3 cabs that all have very similar games?
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:48 PM - Reechard: so I sold GORF and Space Invaders
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:49 PM - Statboy: Space Invaders can't be rare, that might the most sold cabinet game of the 80's
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:50 PM - Reechard: they made TONS of them
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:50 PM - Reechard: one of the rare-er ones I had until recently was Super Zaxxon in a mini cabinet
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:50 PM - Reechard: they only made like 150 of them
Mar 17, 2017 at 1:51 PM - Statboy: that i've never heard of
 
Mar 18, 2017 1:44 AM - TimeCrush: 3 am on st paddy ?
Mar 18, 2017 10:15 AM - TimeCrush: 11am on the day following...
Mar 18, 2017 7:47 PM - VintagePC: oh man... found a desert burrow for ChromatiCraft
Mar 18, 2017 7:47 PM - VaultBot: that's because you're supposed to work in an hour lol
Mar 18, 2017 7:47 PM - VintagePC: those things are death traps
 
Mar 19, 2017 1:23 PM - VaultBot: vintage you missed this when i activate them
Mar 19, 2017 1:23 PM - SoL DarkLord: I got far enough out I found a desert temple that was still viable for loot. I went down there considering I haven't even set myself up with a house yet.
Mar 19, 2017 1:55 PM - VintagePC: the desert burrow loot is insane
Mar 19, 2017 1:55 PM - VintagePC: but you pay for it
Mar 19, 2017 1:56 PM - VintagePC: there are five monster spawners in it (one of which is blazes on the lower level)
Mar 19, 2017 1:56 PM - VintagePC: and you can't get at them to break them until you get to said lower level
Mar 19, 2017 2:00 PM - VintagePC: though I *think* if you go in with torches you can remove the spawnable area and stop them
Mar 19, 2017 2:55 PM - VintagePC: TC is gonna like this
Mar 19, 2017 2:56 PM - VintagePC: there are HOLES through the roof of the nether bedrock
Mar 19, 2017 2:56 PM - VintagePC: and shit to explore above it
Mar 19, 2017 3:46 PM - Statboy: lol
 
Mar 20, 2017 5:30 PM - VintagePC: ohoho, I'm excited for minecraft now... I think I may have found a crystal shrine
Mar 20, 2017 5:31 PM - VintagePC: gotta do dinner first tho :-/
