@ le717 : (14 September 2014 - 09:10 PM) I am probably going to regret this... but I am going to mock LI2 some more.

@ Xiron : (14 September 2014 - 09:12 PM) Yaaaay!

@ mumboking : (14 September 2014 - 09:12 PM) Hooray

@ mumboking : (14 September 2014 - 09:12 PM) I mean... Huzzah!

@ mumboking : (14 September 2014 - 09:13 PM) Shhhh...

@ le717 : (14 September 2014 - 09:13 PM) I'll be giving live reactions on Skype, and the best bits on Twitter.

@ le717 : (14 September 2014 - 09:14 PM) This is not going to end well.

@ le717 : (14 September 2014 - 09:14 PM) Here goes...

@ mumboking : (14 September 2014 - 09:16 PM) I wonder if the transparency issues will be there this time.

@ le717 : (14 September 2014 - 09:19 PM) Nah, they are fixed.

@ le717 : (14 September 2014 - 09:19 PM) And by Skype, I mean the RRU group.

@ le717 : (14 September 2014 - 09:19 PM) Loaded, let's a go do "my best"!

@ mumboking : (14 September 2014 - 09:20 PM) *Doesn't understand*

@ Xiron : (14 September 2014 - 09:24 PM) So much orange.

@ Cirevam : (14 September 2014 - 09:26 PM) Pepper, what are you doing?

MY BEST

@ Xiron : (14 September 2014 - 09:26 PM) And then there was yellow.

@ mumboking : (14 September 2014 - 09:26 PM) I thought you were light blue?

@ Ben24x7 : (14 September 2014 - 09:27 PM) Yay! 9 seconds! More than half the last film!

@ Cirevam : (14 September 2014 - 09:27 PM) That bloke's too good for cyan

@ Ayliffe : (14 September 2014 - 09:30 PM) A LLAMA IS APPROACHING

@ Ayliffe : (14 September 2014 - 09:30 PM) and my white text is superior

@ Ayliffe : (14 September 2014 - 09:31 PM) I still want purple though

@ Ayliffe : (14 September 2014 - 09:33 PM) Purple is the best colour in the universe

@ Xiron : (14 September 2014 - 09:36 PM) You look quite purple to me.

-----

@ Latias4Ever : (14 September 2014 - 10:09 PM) Oh... Dammit Xiron, your name being orange threw me off.

@ Latias4Ever : (14 September 2014 - 10:09 PM) OH DAMMIT! You've been on for at least an hour now? I didn't notice you because your name isn't Cyan! ;_;

@ Xiron : (14 September 2014 - 10:10 PM) Haha.

In response to the title of >this thread:

@ Arthuriel : (14 September 2014 - 11:54 PM) when I saw the title of the thread, I thought that a rru member finally lost his mind

-----

A few things cut out here...

@ Addictgamer : (14 September 2014 - 11:17 PM) I love green.

@ Addictgamer : (14 September 2014 - 11:17 PM) Best color ever.

@ Latias4Ever : (14 September 2014 - 11:47 PM) Cyan is my favourite colour.

@ Latias4Ever : (14 September 2014 - 11:47 PM) Unless you consider Gold a colour, though it's mainly a metal.

@ mumboking : (14 September 2014 - 11:47 PM) Cyrem is my favourite colour.

@ mumboking : (14 September 2014 - 11:48 PM) It's closest to #008080

@ : (14 September 2014 - 11:55 PM) @mumboking :D

[9:55:38 AM] Alcom Isst: Braaaaaaaaains.

[10:37:41 AM] Alcom Isst: To think that my chosen career was going to turn me into a zombie. Who knew!

[10:37:48 AM] Alcom Isst: Actually it's not much different.

[10:38:21 AM] Alcom Isst: All it comes with is a hunger for brains and an intense desire to produce Flappybird and Minecraft clones.

[Alcom Isst]

[6:48:28 PM Alcom Isst: So I've been thinking about... err... ponies. I remember when I first watched MLP, I hated it, but I also took it as a dare, forcing myself to chug the whole series, assisted by simutaneous use of LDD. After the first season I built up an immunity, I was enjoying the show, everything was fine, I was effectively a brony. I watched season 2, then 3, then got bored with the series. Fastforward several months without MLP and my immunity completely died, and I can't stand the site of ponies again.
[6:48:34 PM] Alcom Isst: Which is really interesting.
[6:49:46 PM] Alcom Isst: Like, would anyone develop an immunity and liking for a media like this?
[6:50:31 PM] Alcom Isst: If I tied McJobless to a chair clockwork-orange style and forced him to watch My Little Pony, would he eventually develop a same immunity too?

[6:50:46 PM] McJobless: No.

[The Ace Railgun]

[9/27/14 7:10:05 PM] McJob: Can someone tell me why Peeron still stick to the stupid 3 year rule?

[9/27/14 7:21:10 PM] Lexi the Medicham: 3 year rule?

[9/27/14 7:22:16 PM] jamesster: it's like the five second rule but for sloths

[le717]

[5:51:55 PM] Triangle717: In this week's chapter in this absolutely excellent Dreamweaver book, e will be making a table-based website.
[6:31:11 PM] bartvbl: In this week's chapter in this absolutely awful Notepad++ book, we will be making a table-based website.In this week's chapter in this absolutely awful Notepad++ book, we will be using media queries to create a responsive website.[6:32:49 PM | Edited 6:32:55 PM] The Machine: I feel like a Notepad++ book would be packed with features in a lightweight format, but the graphical design would be terrible.
[6:35:10 PM] The Machine: The Sublime Text book would be packed with the same features, some more features, and have excellent graphical design with a very neat summary of the book. It would also be many times more expensive than the Notepad++ book.
[6:35:44 PM] bartvbl: you mean the book would be written using LaTeX?
[6:35:56 PM] bartvbl: [+1 though]
[6:36:19 PM] The Machine: The Visual Studio book would be packed with so many features that you don't need to read 90% of the book to be proficient. It would also be extremely slow to open and take up a lot of space on your desk. It would cost at least 50x that of the Sublime Text book.
[6:36:50 PM] Triangle717: The Atom text book would look just like the Sublime Text book and also be packed with features, but it would be super slow to get to the point, only provide Mac directions, freely editable by anyone, and < 2pt font size.
[6:37:09 PM] bartvbl: The eclipse book is very, very heavy. Everything described in it is kind of alright
[6:37:31 PM] bartvbl: The notepad.exe book really is a sheet of paper
[6:38:03 PM] bartvbl: I really dislike the more recent visual studio books.. the front covers are getting more awful with each version
[6:38:23 PM] Triangle717: The Vim book would have 10 chapters devoted to just closing it.
[6:39:03 PM] bartvbl: The dev/null book makes all problems disappear!
[6:40:10 PM] Noghiri: The nano book would only be accessible by accessing the man pages. and only tells you the command line arguments.
[6:40:10 PM] Triangle717: The Adobe Dreamweaver book is all about the 90s, with content being outdated, messy, and overall subpar.
[6:41:38 PM] bartvbl: The textPad book is one of those dusty old things you find at the back shelf in a bookstore, which requires a key to open that the store manager has lost over the years. When you open it it feels like something from an archive that's really not much better than notepad.exe
[6:43:56 PM] bartvbl: NetBeans is one of those books that tries to fill a hole in the market by trying to describe things in a different way most other books do. The only problem is that while it explains a few things excessively well, it just falls way behind in other areas
[6:44:44 PM] Triangle717: The Brackets text book has lots of well-written content, pleasing looks, and even tabbed sections, but it is possibly out of date in important sections within a month, major flaws or improvements are not fixed/added for > 3 months, or it is a bug at the printers and will hopefully be fixed in the next release.
[6:44:59 PM] bartvbl: The intellij book has a built-in tablet that searches the web for what you're thinking about
[6:46:33 PM] bartvbl: The SmallBasic book tries to be exciting to kids, yet uses a bit too much text to accomplish that; most throw it out after reading the first two paragraphs
[6:47:19 PM] Triangle717: The Ninja-IDE book is too unconventional. It uses methods that others do not use, is under near-constant development but a new revision is rarely published, and works in mysterious ways...
[6:47:25 PM] bartvbl: The book on IDLE is pretty good, yet I never seem to be able to recall what I've read after putting it away for a while
[6:48:00 PM] bartvbl: The book on Skype is kind of all-round WTF
[6:55:21 PM] Noghiri: The facebook is just a big spiral-bound stack of cat pictures, random inneffectual complaining, and waaaay too much information about your grandmother's medical condition. The editor quit two pages in.
[6:57:37 PM] Noghiri: The SciTE book is new, and rather obscure. I'd tell you what's in it, but I've never found a copy.

[Brigs]

[8:33:37 PM] Brigs: hey theres a jamester inposter on this minecraft server

[8:34:02 PM] Triangle717: Oh no

[8:34:12 PM] Triangle717: Brigs is becoming an Elimbier.

[8:34:24 PM | Edited 8:34:32 PM] Triangle717: His spelling has drastically degraded.

[8:34:44 PM] Alcom Isst: It is my duty to put him out of his misery then.

[8:34:54 PM] Alcom Isst: Actually, not really, I just want Brigs's stuff.

[8:35:07 PM] Triangle717: He wants my golden Vahi.

[8:35:15 PM | Edited 8:35:19 PM] Brigs: Don't worry, I put the masquarading lunatic out of his misery.

[8:35:45 PM] Triangle717: If that is how you spell that mask's name.

[8:35:54 PM] Brigs: That is correct.

[8:35:55 PM] Alcom Isst: The Jamesster clone? Or the Brigs clone who was an imposter and performing the bad spelling?

[8:36:55 PM | Edited 8:37:10 PM] Brigs: The former. You can tell it's not a jamesster because it isn't impersonating a furry.

[8:37:40 PM] Alcom Isst: Impersonating? Here I was thinking that Jamesster was a legitimate furry, but only part-time.

[8:38:21 PM] Alcom Isst: Wait, what joke am I even going for?

[8:38:27 PM] Alcom Isst: I lost track. ._.

[Zephyria]

[12:05:00 AM] Joe9412: I love bannanas

[Alcom Isst]

[1:11:26 AM] High Weedmeigh: To some degree, everybody is selfish.

[1:11:45 AM] Alcom Isst: BRIGS, GIMME YOUR LEGO COLLECTION!

[McJobless]

[2:49:00 PM] Jamesster: what if when we're all old geezers, instead of playing solitare or domino games or whatever every night, we're playing spelunky or other roguelikes

 

-later-

 

[3:07:56 PM] Alcom: What if retirement homes adapt and become themed off of various video games, genres, and crowds?

[Alcom Isst]

[9:42:13 PM] High Weedmeigh: wotm8

[mumboking]

RRU has gone to the shop to buy new hamsters.

RRU will be back soon.... I hope.

Update #1: RRU stopped for ice-cream on the way there.

Update #2: The GPS caused RRU to get lost. We've sent out a search party.

Update #3: Out of no-where the Potato King appeared an destroyed the search party. A second unit has been deployed.

Update #4: The second search party has almost located him...

Update #5: RRU was successfully located. We're taking him the hamster store.

Update #6: RRU is now shopping for hamsters. There are many to choose from, they also offer free paint jobs on hamsters. This might take a while... I'm looking for a seat.

@ : (07 October 2014 - 04:29 AM) Get your last words out people
@ : (07 October 2014 - 04:29 AM) "Say now?"
@ : (07 October 2014 - 04:29 AM) "Last words out?"
@ : (07 October 2014 - 04:30 AM) You got 5 or so minutes
@ aidenpons : (07 October 2014 - 04:30 AM) I'm with Quis here. What?
@ aidenpons : (07 October 2014 - 04:30 AM) Why?
@ : (07 October 2014 - 04:30 AM) maybe less, not sure
@ aidenpons : (07 October 2014 - 04:31 AM) Why?
@ : (07 October 2014 - 04:31 AM) Why?
@ : (07 October 2014 - 04:32 AM) Maintanence?
@ : (07 October 2014 - 04:32 AM)
@ : (07 October 2014 - 04:32 AM) yes
@ aidenpons : (07 October 2014 - 04:32 AM) RUN!
@ aidenpons : (07 October 2014 - 04:33 AM) There's the /announce thingy for admins for a reason, Cyrem...
@ : (07 October 2014 - 04:34 AM) Ah, well, see y'all later then!
Good luck, Cyrem!
@ : (07 October 2014 - 04:34 AM) nah I wing it
@ Xiron : (07 October 2014 - 04:35 AM) MAINTAINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENCE!
@ : (07 October 2014 - 04:35 AM) maybe take a while, can't really say how long yet
@ aidenpons : (07 October 2014 - 04:36 AM) What are you doing in particular?
@ : (07 October 2014 - 04:37 AM) getting a new hamster
@ aidenpons : (07 October 2014 - 04:38 AM) Good source of power, aren't they?
@ : (07 October 2014 - 04:41 AM) they are
@ : (07 October 2014 - 04:41 AM) this one is getting too old
@ aidenpons : (07 October 2014 - 04:43 AM) And you need >5min to replace a hamster?
@ : (07 October 2014 - 04:45 AM) oh, much more
@ : (07 October 2014 - 04:45 AM) I'm getting a bunch
@ aidenpons : (07 October 2014 - 04:46 AM) Got the wheels ready?
@ aidenpons : (07 October 2014 - 04:47 AM) They need time to acclimatize, you know.
@ aidenpons : (07 October 2014 - 04:47 AM) No good just stuffing them into a wheel when you've dragged them out of the hutch: they'll hate it!
@ : (07 October 2014 - 04:48 AM) oh
@ : (07 October 2014 - 04:48 AM) I only bought 1 wheel
@ aidenpons : (07 October 2014 - 04:48 AM) Still, winging it...
@ : (07 October 2014 - 04:48 AM) I want them to work together at hyperspeed
@ aidenpons : (07 October 2014 - 04:48 AM) might work
@ : (07 October 2014 - 04:49 AM) I the wheel is a little larger than the old
@ aidenpons : (07 October 2014 - 04:49 AM) Problem is, if one hamster's slow from sickness or plain tiredness he'll slow the whole lot down.
@ : (07 October 2014 - 04:49 AM) they should all fit
@ aidenpons : (07 October 2014 - 04:50 AM) You could maybe put some on the outside?
@ : (07 October 2014 - 04:56 AM) maybe
@ aidenpons : (07 October 2014 - 04:59 AM) I'm confident you'll work something out. You weren't an admin because of your lack of innovation
@ : (07 October 2014 - 05:02 AM)
@ : (07 October 2014 - 05:03 AM) I'm thinking a gear-like system
@ aidenpons : (07 October 2014 - 05:03 AM) You only have the one wheel.... you really do need more.
@ aidenpons : (07 October 2014 - 05:04 AM) A gear idea has problems with gear ratios: if the gears are different sizes then some hamsters will have to work a lot harder. If they don't then the entire system will slow down.
@ aidenpons : (07 October 2014 - 05:05 AM) You'd be better off having individual wheels. That way, if one suddenly just dies you'll still have plenty left and no damage on the other hamsters.
@ : (07 October 2014 - 05:08 AM) but if there is more hamsters in the big ones the load should be less
@ aidenpons : (07 October 2014 - 05:09 AM) But what of the small ones?
@ aidenpons : (07 October 2014 - 05:10 AM) You'd need a definite contrivance too make sure that all of them got an equal amount of work.
@ aidenpons : (07 October 2014 - 05:10 AM) It'd be far easier in my eyes to just wire them up individually.
@ aidenpons : (07 October 2014 - 05:17 AM) Are you actually going to do the maintenance now?
@ : (07 October 2014 - 05:17 AM) well
@ : (07 October 2014 - 05:17 AM) I am
@ : (07 October 2014 - 05:17 AM) just taking longer than expected to prepare
@ aidenpons : (07 October 2014 - 05:19 AM) Acclimatizing the hamsters?
@ : (07 October 2014 - 05:20 AM) I'm browsing online choosing the best ones
@ : (07 October 2014 - 05:20 AM) some have better specifications
@ : (07 October 2014 - 05:20 AM) trying to get a good team happening
@ aidenpons : (07 October 2014 - 05:21 AM) What, so you haven't even got the hamsters yet? You'd better hope they're wheel-trained...
@ The Ace Railgun : (07 October 2014 - 05:22 AM) Cyrem is making a team of hamsters?
@ : (07 October 2014 - 05:23 AM) yes
@ : (07 October 2014 - 05:23 AM) apparently they are all tried
@ : (07 October 2014 - 05:23 AM) and tested
@ : (07 October 2014 - 05:24 AM) I've also ordered their Team RRU bandaners
@ aidenpons : (07 October 2014 - 05:24 AM) @TAR Look in the archive for ~1 hour ago.
@ aidenpons : (07 October 2014 - 05:24 AM) I notice the "TEAM" there. I'm guessing that means that you're sticking to the gear system?
@ : (07 October 2014 - 05:28 AM) nah
@ : (07 October 2014 - 05:28 AM) I'm just running all the power cords into one
@ aidenpons : (07 October 2014 - 05:29 AM) Effective, certainly.
@ : (07 October 2014 - 05:30 AM) calling them a team to... you know... keep em motivated
@ aidenpons : (07 October 2014 - 05:31 AM) Good point. Can't have hamsters getting depressed.
@ : (07 October 2014 - 05:33 AM) yeah, they'll not be getting breaks ... soo...

[Brigs]

This is a rather long one. 

 

[8:05:24 PM] Brigs: Back from a trip to X.

[8:06:46 PM] Brigs: Some researchers paid me $70 to hook some gizmos on various portions of my body and watch me play a cruddy VR simulator.
[8:07:01 PM] jamesster: was phil fish involved?
[8:07:11 PM] Brigs: no
[8:07:33 PM | Brigs: It was a driving simulator, too. You would have loved it, Jamie.
[8:07:59 PM] jamesster: "excuse me sir but pedestrians are worth no points"
[8:08:06 PM] jamesster: "neither are fire hydrants"
[8:08:10 PM] jamesster: "or trucks"
[8:08:34 PM] Brigs: funny story but the crosswalk pedestrians are apparently suicidal
[8:09:39 PM] Brigs: Waiting to cross until the exact moment to initiate a collision.
[8:10:06 PM] jamesster: well some programmer was having fun
[8:10:35 PM] Brigs: you should have seen the "cars"
[8:11:56 PM] Brigs: The game's climactic backstory is you have to run errands delivering various items to for various NPCs we never see.
[8:12:10 PM] jamesster: https://www.youtube....h?v=7gqu12htpuI
[8:12:28 PM] Triangle717: [7:48 PM] Hugh Wotmeigh:

<<< I can't work PR at an expo without suddenly getting roped into one publisher's bad decisions.I was joking, Jobless. I know you enough to know you do not agree with such a bad decision.
[8:13:25 PM] Triangle717: [8:06 PM] Brigs:

<<< Some researchers paid me $70 to hook some gizmos on various portions of my body and watch me play a cruddy VR simulator.That actually sounds fun.
[8:13:42 PM] Triangle717: [8:09 PM] Brigs:

<<< Waiting to cross until the exact moment to initiate a collision.(rofl)
[8:13:44 PM] Brigs: Hysterical, in fact.
[8:14:08 PM] Triangle717: [8:10 PM] Brigs:

<<< you should have seen the "cars"LEGO Island 3-style cars?
[8:14:21 PM] Brigs: Marginally higher quality.
[8:14:40 PM] Triangle717: Meh, I like that car.
[8:14:53 PM] Brigs: then you have to follow the GPS (okay its actually just an arrow telling you when to turn)
[8:15:09 PM] Triangle717: LEGO Racers 2 says hi.
[8:15:09 PM] Brigs: stop at stop signs
[8:15:28 PM] Brigs: dont run red lights
[8:15:43 PM] Triangle717: Was it teaching you to be a good driver or something?
[8:16:21 PM] Brigs: If anything, it detracted from my driving capacities.
[8:16:41 PM] Brigs: obey the speed limit
[8:16:43 PM] Brigs: oh and dont run into other cars for lolz
[8:17:34 PM] Brigs: three strikes and you're not out, because for some reason we allow four strikes.
[8:18:13 PM] Triangle717: Was it one of those things they put sticky things in your hair (and arms if needed) with cords running to some computer, and you just sit there and "focus" on something, like trying to make some blue spaceship stay ahead of the green and red spaceships to your right and left, and try to get into hyperdrive?
[8:18:29 PM] Triangle717: And do that for maybe 20 minutes?
[8:18:49 PM] The Machine: I would have done the obvious thing--kill as many pedestrians as possible and see if the police showed up in force. If not, my VR experience is not good enough.
[8:19:22 PM] Triangle717: And when you are done, you have to go home and wash your hair because you have a bunch of sticky smelly stuff in it?
[8:20:07 PM] The Machine: [8:17 PM] Triangle717:

<<< sticky thingsYou mean electrodes...?
[8:20:17 PM] Triangle717: If it is, I may or may not have had to do that on a weekly basis for a few months when I was younger.
[8:21:29 PM] Brigs: You're half right. There was a steering wheel and pedals; the sensors and electrodes were exclusively for collecting data.
[8:21:50 PM] The Machine: What was the purpose of this?
[8:24:21 PM | Edited 8:25:02 PM] Brigs: It was either to analyze the reactions of candidates with Aspergers in a Virtual Reality environment or simply humiliate said candidates.
[8:25:06 PM] The Machine: Reaction time? In a racing game?
[8:25:56 PM] jamesster: a science museum in the twin cities had this barge simulator cabinet
[8:25:57 PM] The Machine: Wait, was this a vehicle simulator or a game?
[8:26:05 PM] jamesster: it was boring but I played it every time anyway
[8:26:28 PM] The Machine: I have been in a few flight simulators.
[8:26:28 PM] Brigs: Formally the latter.
[8:26:29 PM] Triangle717: [8:25 PM] jamesster:

[8:27:46 PM] Brigs: [8:11 PM] Brigs:

<<< The game's climactic backstory is you have to run errands delivering various items to for various NPCs we never see.There's also a finish line conveniently erected at your destination.
[8:27:54 PM] jamesster: it was surprisingly difficult
[8:28:03 PM] Triangle717: Did you let any boats run into the bridge?
[8:28:17 PM] Triangle717: [8:27 PM] Brigs:

<<< There's also a finish line conveniently erected at your destination.You're Winner.
[8:28:33 PM] The Machine: Hmm.
[8:28:38 PM] The Machine: So you're delivering guns, right?
[8:28:41 PM] Brigs: In this one I had to deliver books to a library. I guess I just dump them by the curbside and hope for the best.
[8:28:46 PM] The Machine: And if you don't make it in time, they kill your entire family?
[8:28:51 PM] The Machine: ... oh.
[8:28:53 PM] The Machine: Books.
[8:28:54 PM] jamesster: [8:27 PM] Triangle717:

<<< Did you let any boats run into the bridge?yeah
[8:28:57 PM] jamesster: nothing exciting happened
[8:29:01 PM] jamesster: you just lost
[8:29:06 PM] The Machine: So, if you don't turn in the books on time, the library kills your family?
[8:29:07 PM] The Machine:
[8:29:48 PM] Brigs: No. But the lady is paying an insane amount of arbitrary in-game curency that has absolutely no use whatsoever.
[8:29:51 PM] Triangle717: [8:28 PM] Brigs:

<<< In this one I had to deliver books to a library. I guess I just dump them by the curbside and hope for the best.Island Xtreme Stunts, delivering mail and groceries.
[8:30:27 PM] Brigs: $30 for the trip one way.
[8:30:33 PM] Triangle717: [8:29 PM] The Machine:

<<< So, if you don't turn in the books on time, the library kills your family?Nah, they just carge you exorbitant late fees.
[8:31:02 PM] The Machine: Ah.
[8:31:04 PM] Brigs: And I seemed to get paid about $5 per block.
[8:31:27 PM] Triangle717: Yup, at those rates, the library could definitely pull off a scam like that.
[8:31:50 PM] Triangle717: Brigs, was this a wealthy city?
[8:32:57 PM] Brigs: It's rich, all right. Downright hilarious, in fact.
[8:33:30 PM] Brigs: The cars' wheels don't even turn.
[8:33:54 PM] Brigs: the walking animation for the pedestrians
[8:34:00 PM] Brigs: help
