IRC Log for 2013-09-03

Timestamps are in GMT/BST.

00:14:48Nothing_Muchkaen, how was the discovery? :)
00:16:03kaenenlightening
00:17:00Nothing_Muchit's pretty fascinating to me how the open source community works/runs!
00:17:26Nothing_Muchall about good communication!
00:17:38kaenme too, actually
00:18:36kaenI've never actually had a software development job, I regularly read blogs with the authors complaining about devs not following style protocol, being difficult to work with, or just generally demonstrating incompetence
00:19:02kaenthis is the fourth open source project I've worked on, and have never experienced any of those.
00:19:42Nothing_Muchopen source brings us all together, as devs, testers, and players!
00:20:10kaenthat's my favorite part
00:20:26kaenno offices, no shadowy hidden counsel of nameless decision makers
00:20:48kaenanyone can come in at any time and determine their own level of involvment
00:20:58Nothing_Muchheck yeah
00:21:06kaenmeritocracy is definitely the best ocracy
00:21:37Nothing_Muchhad to look that word up
00:21:44Nothing_Muchthat's pretty nice
00:21:47Nothing_Muchlol
00:22:00Nothing_Muchwhich os projects did you used to work on?
00:22:06Nothing_Muchor if you still do?
00:22:22kaenfreedroidrpg, balsa, and my own stupid little js library
00:22:38kaenand some personal toys I play around with
00:22:41kaen(and bitfighter)
00:22:51Nothing_Muchbitfighter's a given lol
00:24:27Nothing_MuchI find myself really enthusiastic about this sorta stuff way more than the thing I was using before
00:25:04Nothing_Mucheven though I'm just a sorta tester and player
00:31:13kaentesters and players are the two most valuable resources in open source :)
00:31:44kaenwithout players, there'd be no one to play. without testers, no one would want to.
00:34:24Nothing_Muchyeah, that's true.. but I'm curious as to how people actually expose their game, I think it should be more than just getting it on a bunch of distros, maybe post on some gaming forum or retro gaming forum
00:34:58Nothing_Muchhowever that could get tricky, as developers, since promotion of their own game might be seen as.. perhaps not very desirable
00:35:08kaenas a dev I feel this really tearing dichotomy -- exactly
00:35:16Nothing_Muchbut players or testers
00:35:42Nothing_Muchthat could be more beneficial as there is interest in actually playing the game
00:35:58kaenif I post about bitfighter, it feels like spam. if some one else feels compelled to post about it, that feels much more legitimate
00:36:06kaenand it's really gratifying to see that happen.
00:36:21Nothing_Muchyeah, that's what I was trying to say
00:36:57Nothing_Muchhuh. I guess I might know a little more about this sorta thing then I thought..
00:37:18Nothing_MuchI am pretty vocal
00:38:33Nothing_Muchand I did introduce you guys to the pandora channel there
00:38:48Nothing_Muchcommunication!
00:38:57Nothing_Muchfeels pretty good actually
00:38:58kaenI think you're the one who put is on to desura too, right?
00:39:13kaenmade us aware of, I mean
00:39:15Nothing_MuchYep!
00:39:19Nothing_Muchaware mostly
00:39:25kaenthat makes you a mover and shaker :)
00:39:25Nothing_Muchoh speaking of
00:39:39Nothing_Muchlinden labs (creators of second life) recently purchased Desura
00:39:47Nothing_Muchand desura's on the home page!
00:40:02kaenoh cool :)
00:40:05Nothing_Muchmore exposure for Desura, which is good
00:40:32Nothing_Muchmover and shaker? lol haven't heard those terms before in that context
00:40:58Nothing_Muchoh wow, the definition sound nice, thank you!
00:41:19kaenI mean it
00:41:33Nothing_Muchsorry if I'm textin' a lot, but this is quite a feeling!
00:42:05kaenyou're fine
00:42:43kaenI remember landing my first bugfix in freedroidrpg
00:43:07kaensomeone had read a piece of code I'd written, decided it wasn't horrible, and even decided to add it to the code base
00:43:13kaenthen they told me "thank you"
00:43:28Nothing_Muchohh
00:43:31kaenand I felt like I had just saved children from a burning orphanage
00:44:14Nothing_Muchhahaha.. yeah it's really cool
00:45:23Nothing_Muchjust gotta keep it from getting to your head too much :)
00:46:06kaenhehe yeah
00:49:18Nothing_Muchya doing anything right now?
00:49:42kaenI may or may not be diverting a magma river to power my metalsmith's forges
00:49:51Nothing_Muchhmm?
00:50:04kaenoh... you don't know about my secret dwarf fortress addiction
00:50:16Nothing_Muchtower defense game?
00:50:25kaenumm yeah kind of.
00:50:50kaenperhaps better as described xkcd "the most tedious hell imaginable)
00:51:01Nothing_Muchwhere'd you get it from? drm-free?
00:51:21kaenjust google dwarf fortress, it's no-cost but closed source
00:51:49kaenit's pretty big in the indie games scene
00:52:25kaenperhaps better as described by xkcd: "the most tedious hell imaginable"
00:52:31Nothing_Muchwhoa cool
00:52:33kaen^ slightly more decipherable, I hope
00:52:51Nothing_Muchoh it's on Desura too!
00:52:56kaenit's sucking my soul away...
00:53:04Nothing_Mucho.o
00:53:33kaenmy last fortress was doing well
00:53:36kaena bastion of industry
00:53:46kaenI had a constant flow of finely crafted golden goods
00:53:51kaena beautiful dining hall
00:53:54kaenlavish dormitories
00:54:02kaenthen I was besieged by goblin raiders
00:54:05kaenand a necromancer
00:54:23kaenwho raised the partial skeletons of the invaders I slayed
00:54:35kaenthey waited until winter, so that my moat froze over
00:54:52kaenthen descended into my fortress, waylaying my meager, untrained military with ease
00:55:00Nothing_Muchadvanced AI?
00:55:07kaenI had the most profound sense of sorrow watching them creep through the dorms
00:55:30kaenmy civilian dwarves even piling themselves upon the undead horde in one finally effort to stave them off
00:55:58kaenit was almost painful watching them get executed one-by-one as they lay writhing on the ground
00:55:59kaen...
00:56:00kaen/fin
00:56:03Nothing_Muchlol
00:56:15Nothing_Muchyou weren't kidding about it taking over your soul
00:56:24kaenI like legitimately got sad
00:56:39kaeneven though the dwarves are just UTF smiley-faces with little beards hanging off
00:57:17kaenI wouldn't call the AI "advanced"
00:57:34kaenbut the (one single) guy who writes it has a really detailed style of game design
00:57:49Nothing_Muchwhoa
00:57:51kaenso he actually coded in wait-for-the-moat-to-freeze logic
00:58:14kaenand there's like a thousand little things like that
00:58:19kaenthe attention to detail is incredible
00:58:32kaenfrom a technical aspect, however, the game is a disaster
00:58:46Nothing_MuchLOL
00:58:47kaenalso the UI makes it almost unplayable without a walkthrough
00:58:57Nothing_Muchoh my goodness what a twist!
00:58:58Nothing_Muchlmao
00:59:40kaenyou can tell that he's really passionate about this game, he quit is comfy job in academia (he's a phd) to write it full-time
00:59:50kaenhe lives purely off of donations
00:59:57Nothing_Muchwow
01:00:30kaenbut, I think the game ultimately suffers because refuses help time and time again, even for free, even from professional programmers, even with non-disclosure agreements
01:01:14Nothing_Muchhmm. One person programs that game?
01:01:32kaento the point where people have made programs that memory-hack the game just to be able to make an actually GUI to control the dwarves
01:01:37kaenyep, just one guy
01:02:10Nothing_Muchwhoa, dedication at its finest, but kinda stubborn to not accept some help lol
01:02:53kaenyeah, but that's a fairly common thing among people with a lot of vision
01:03:07kaenpossessiveness over the product
01:03:13koda has joined
01:03:32Nothing_Muchyeah, that's understandable
01:04:06kaenI read that he's even turned down buyout offers from AAA shops
01:04:38Nothing_Muchthat really is dedicated
01:09:25Nothing_Muchcan't seem to find some smaller forums
01:10:29Nothing_MuchHi koda
01:19:21kodao/
01:19:34Nothing_MuchWhat's up?
01:19:54kodacold
01:20:06Nothing_MuchAh alright
01:20:29kodanope :(
01:20:34kodai have to go here and there
01:20:45kodacan't do that right if i have a cold
01:21:00Nothing_MuchOh- OH, I thought you were physically cold, not sick :(
01:25:15Nothing_MuchHey kaen, is BitFighterVideo on YT still available for uploading videos?
01:25:26Nothing_MuchYou could make a trailer for 019 or 020
01:25:30kaenI don't remember whose channel that is :x
01:25:39kaenbut that was my idea
01:25:46kaenI think it belongs to someone who bailed
01:25:50Nothing_Muchbailed?
01:25:52Nothing_MuchAww
01:26:34Nothing_MuchWell, out with the old, in with the new, eh? (but old players would still be nice)
01:28:39Nothing_MuchIf anybody knows of any smaller gaming forums out there, lemme know :)
01:42:51Nothing_MuchOh I found a small forum!

08:03:37Nothing_MuchHey watusimoto, just to let ya know, bitfighter's on the OpenPandora
08:03:51watusimotoit is???
08:04:04watusimotoI mean, it should run there, but still...
08:04:10Nothing_MuchSomebody ported it on their own or something
08:04:14Nothing_MuchI don't know the technical details
08:04:19Nothing_MuchBut it apparently works too
08:04:22watusimotoawesome! how do you know this?
08:04:41Nothing_Muchhttp://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=bitfighter
08:04:43Nothing_Muchcheck it out!
08:04:50watusimotochecking
08:05:10watusimotono link to the porter...
08:05:12watusimotosadly
08:05:18watusimotooh wait, there is
08:05:19Nothing_Muchnot sure what that is
08:05:26Nothing_Muchmaintainer you mean?
08:06:07watusimotoconeseco did the port, looks like
08:06:12watusimotolooking for a contact for him/her
08:06:24watusimotoCanseco
08:06:43Nothing_Muchwait for raptop or someone else, because I think they contacted him already
08:06:46Nothing_Much*raptor
08:07:47watusimotook; I almost bought one of these last year
08:07:53watusimotoso I'm glad someone made it work
08:08:20watusimotowe're slowly starting to work towards the 019 release, and would like to cooridnate to make sure it will work on all platforms
08:08:29Nothing_Muchawesome!
08:09:59watusimotoincluding desura, of course :-)
08:10:45Nothing_Muchoh, desura got bought by Linden Lab (creators of second life)
08:10:48Nothing_Muchbut that's a good thing
08:10:54Nothing_MuchDesurium is still Open Source
08:11:04Nothing_MuchBut it's on their front page! (Desura)
08:11:05watusimotoyes, I know
08:11:13watusimotowhat is desurium?
08:11:13Nothing_MuchAh
08:11:57Nothing_MuchDesurium's the open source version of Desura
08:12:08Nothing_Muchlike Chromium is to Chrome
08:12:37watusimotoso if a game is listed on desura, is it automatically included on desurium? or is it a separate submission process?
08:12:52watusimotoi.e. are the databases shared?
08:12:59Nothing_Muchoh no, it's essentially the same program, yes the db's are shared
08:13:10Nothing_Muchso no need to go through another process :)
08:13:19watusimotoexcellent
08:13:30watusimotothe desura process was totally a pain
08:13:39watusimotoI'm hoping the upgrade goes easier
08:13:57Nothing_MuchI think it did for 018a
08:14:13watusimotoyes I think you're right
08:14:47Nothing_MuchI'm pretty sure of it
08:15:37Nothing_Muchyep it was
08:18:55bobdaduck has joined
08:24:42Nothing_MuchHi bobdaduck
08:41:37bobdaduckSup
08:43:53Nothing_Muchnm
08:44:28kaenmorning all
08:44:45kaens/morning/timezone appropriate greeting/
08:45:27Nothing_MuchHey kaen
09:01:52bobdaducklol

09:43:39raptorI did NOT miss my first class because of the parking situation on campus... no sirree
09:43:53watusimotothat sucks!
09:44:03watusimotoor would suck if indeed you had missed you class
09:44:10watusimotoand hi bobdaduck and kaen and raptor
09:44:26raptoryes... yes it does^W would...
09:44:45bobdaduckhiya
09:44:51raptorand hello
09:45:52watusimotoraptor: Nothing_Much says you contacted the guy who did the pandora release of bitfighter
09:45:57watusimototrue?
09:46:00raptoroh
09:46:01raptorno
09:46:10Nothing_MuchI wasn't sure, so I said I think he did
09:46:16raptori was searching for him - they told me to contact him via the forums because he never comes on IRC
09:46:23Nothing_Muchsorry about that
09:46:28watusimotono worried
09:46:29watusimotos
09:46:29raptorand I haven't registered or anything yet
09:46:38watusimotoI think we should contact him
09:46:46watusimotoI was trying to find an email... no luck so far
09:46:50Nothing_Muchabsolutely!
09:46:50raptori downloaded the package, mounted it, and did an analysis
09:46:59watusimotowhat did you find?
09:47:12raptorARM build, uses a GL-to-GLES interface layer
09:47:50raptorjoystick_settings.ini was completely empty, so I deduced that he must have applied some patch to get the controls to work..
09:48:17watusimotowhatever he did we should try to get that into our main release to make future support easier
09:48:29raptorexactly! that's why I was searching for him
09:48:44raptorI already made one change... and that was to add a preprocessor define to enable GLES
09:48:53raptorbut it requires SDL2
09:49:19Nothing_Muchwell
09:49:25Nothing_Muchyou guys could make a forum account
09:49:30Nothing_Muchand pm him there
09:49:54kaenthat "glshim" project he built with is really cool
09:50:05kaenI got to pick the author's brain for a little bit last night
09:50:12raptoroh really??
09:50:20raptori saw the source of that... it was really neat
09:50:22kaenit works on the pandora, pi, and some other obscure indie handheld device
09:50:43watusimotokaen: you've been in contact with the guy?
09:50:51kaennot the guy who ported it to the pandora
09:50:58kaenthe guy who wrote the lib which the porter used.
09:51:05watusimotoah, ok
09:51:08watusimotoCanseco is his name
09:51:13raptorthe guy who wrote teh GL-to-GLES layer
09:51:15kaenah, that's right
09:51:20watusimotoCanseco did the bf port
09:51:38kaenlooks like he was just hammering through a list of "requested ports"
09:51:53kaenwhich looks like it was scraped from some free game DB
09:52:04watusimotononetheless...
09:52:23watusimotoI was tempted to buy one of those devices last spring
09:52:26kaenwatusimoto, do you have analytics on bitfighter.org ?
09:52:40watusimotowhat do you mean, specifically?
09:52:45kaengoogle analytics
09:52:48watusimotoand probably no
09:52:50raptoruhhh
09:52:57watusimotoalmost definitely no
09:53:00raptorwe could easily integrate it if we moved to the new site!
09:53:10kaenjust wondering because I'm interested to see if this player spike coincides with that package being uploaded
09:53:12watusimotounless you did it... in which case you won'dn
09:53:15watusimotohave asked
09:53:19kaenheh
09:53:26watusimotowe have a player spike?
09:53:43kaenwe've had new players on almost every day for almost a week
09:53:48watusimotogreat!
09:53:58raptorit could be because of the start of school
09:54:08kaenthat's true too
09:56:02watusimotowe could check our logs for versions players are using... if they're all old (like 016), then it's a shop class
09:59:11watusimotoso our polish list is gone, eh?
09:59:19raptorsadness, yes
09:59:26Nothing_Muchpolish?
09:59:27raptorbut we did the majority of it, i think
10:01:11watusimotohere's a question
10:01:33watusimotocurrently, if you do /delete, it marks the current level as deleted, and it will never be loaded again
10:01:41watusimotoan entry is added to the ini file
10:02:16watusimotobut the file is not removed
10:02:26watusimotoshould we do the following:
10:02:34watusimoto1. Remove the file with /delete
10:02:49watusimoto2. Add a command called /purge that deletes the marked files
10:02:54watusimoto3. Do nothing, leave as is
10:03:29watusimotoI ask because my son wants to delete a bunch of levels he created when he was younger, and we don't really have a good way to do that wihtin the game
10:03:30raptori don't think physically deleting the file is good unless there is an option to remove it from rotation as well
10:03:50raptorand maybe owner level is required to delete it
10:04:00watusimotowell, it would be removed from rotation when deleted, of course
10:04:02watusimotoas it is now
10:04:32watusimotoit seems when managing a remote host, it may not matter; when cleaning up a local folder, you want to delete
10:04:37raptorok, then yes - maybe /purge
10:04:42watusimotowhen managing a local folder, you are owner
10:04:42Nothing_Muchheadin' out, good luck with contacting the guy when you get the chance!
10:04:47watusimotobye!
10:05:14watusimotoif we did /purge, we could also do /undelete
10:05:26watusimotowhich would simply unmark the most recently marked item
10:05:50raptorok
10:06:09raptorbut purge needs to be owner permission only, the others can be admin
10:06:21watusimotook, seems reasonable
10:23:30raptoraww man... this programming class is going to require the midterms and final be in Visual Studio
10:23:39raptorI'm not sure I'll be able to cope...
10:23:40bobdaducklol
10:23:45watusimotoit's really not bad
10:23:53kaenI hate to admit it
10:23:58kaenbut it's really not that bad
10:24:10kaenin fact I daresay I .... like it
10:25:29raptorheh
10:25:34kaenbut I've been using vim to write C since I started four years ago, so whenever I get fast auto-completion and refactoring support I feel spoiled
10:25:51raptormy experience is limited to solving SDL2 bugs in vc++ 2010 express on windows xp in a VM
10:26:00kaenthrow in a graphical file tree, and I'm coding like a king
10:36:01LordDVG has joined
10:45:47raptorwatusimoto: my brother and I decided to do a long-term game of stars!
10:46:11watusimotowell, it's been nice having you around
10:46:29raptorour primary goal is self-control
10:46:36raptorwe'll see how that goes
10:46:41watusimotogood luck!
10:46:50raptorwe are using a shared SSH server
10:47:22watusimotoanother good play-by-mail game is diplomacy
10:47:33raptor'diplomacy' ?
10:47:37watusimotoyes
10:47:49watusimotoof course, you'll probably never eat thanksgiving dinner with your brother again
10:47:59raptorhaha
10:48:55kaenaccording to this bag
10:49:01kaenI just ate 6 ounces of sun flower seeds
10:49:23kaennow my tongue hurts
10:49:38raptorwe just harvested our volunteer sunflower yesterday
10:49:58kaenwhoa that's a good idea!
10:49:59raptorit grew up for free in our back yard
10:50:03kaenmy girlfriend loves sun flowers
10:50:21kaenshe has one tatooed on her ankle, and she buys these great big bags of seeds
10:50:26raptorthe head was about 14-15 inches in diameter
10:50:31kaenI tell her she's turning into a sun flower from all the seeds
10:52:15kaenI feel like I'd go through pi*15^2 inches worth sunflower seeds quicker than most people...
10:52:59watusimotook, back later
10:53:01watusimotobye
10:53:06raptorhmm... diplomacy looks like it could end up in a bad way...
10:53:25watusimotodiplomacy always ends badly
10:53:38raptorlike real life 'risk', but with your friends relationships
10:53:51raptorerr, feelings, thoughts, etc..
10:55:02raptorsee... my brother and I are wanting to build our relationship... not tear it down

14:28:12raptorhaha
14:31:56WatusimotoI guess high school english class did pay off
14:32:25raptorthat was the book that let me know my english teacher wasn't as smart as I thought adults should be...
14:32:33kaenlol
14:32:41bobdaducklol
14:33:49raptorit was probably just the conceited outlook of a 15-year-old, though...
14:34:17kaenquite possible
14:34:20bobdaduckI still have that
14:34:25bobdaduckWhen can I expect it to go away?
14:34:28kaenI remember I read that book and decided I was a political philosopher for a while
14:34:34raptorwhen you get beat down enough..
14:34:39kaen^
14:34:43raptorhaha
14:35:47kaen"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing"
14:36:21raptorI think there was a recent resurgence in interest for that book
14:36:30raptorbecause of all of the No-Such-Agency stuff
14:36:33kaenthere was in fact
14:36:43kaenreddit showed me the article
14:37:18kaenhttp://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2013/06/11/190615813/book-news-sales-of-orwell-s-1984-leap-after-nsa-revelations
14:37:31raptorah yes, that's the one, thanks
14:37:41kaen"As of this morning, Amazon sales of George Orwell's dystopian novel 1984 had jumped 6,021 percent in just 24 hours"
14:37:49kaenwow that's a lot of percents.
14:37:53raptorwow
14:38:04bobdaducklol
14:38:43raptorhahaha, i forgot: 'Everyone Snoops' haha
14:49:27raptoroff to class! don't expect me too sane after today..

16:03:13thread_wow, much fewer people today
16:04:27Nothing_MuchHello
16:05:32thread_Watusimoto: I was thinking. What if walls could be disabled in levelgens, such that they still were there but ships could travel through them?
16:06:06thread_so that I could program something like a door
16:06:09WatusimotoI'm generally opposed to secret walls
16:06:29Watusimotohowever, I am not opposed (in principle) to removing walls
16:06:39Watusimotoexcept we currently have no mechanism to do so
16:07:00thread_I not secret exactly. I was thinking like changing a walls state from solid to not solid and back, but keep it outlined when not solid
16:07:16Watusimotoso all players could see the change
16:07:17Watusimoto?
16:07:20thread_yes
16:07:47Watusimotothen I would not be opposed. To me, that would essentially be a removable wall
16:08:01Watusimotoit would probably be cleaner just to remove it and add it back later if you wanted it
16:08:02thread_I see
16:08:11Watusimotothere are some practical concerns, however
16:08:25Watusimotofirst, we would need to add a mecahnsim, not too hard in itself
16:08:40Watusimotosecond, bots would need to understand the change
16:08:48thread_ah yes
16:09:00thread_I forgot about that
16:09:04Watusimotothis is something on our todo list (would involve rebuilding bot zones)
16:09:09Watusimotobut it is tricky
16:09:27Watusimotowhich is why it hasn't been done yet
16:09:40Watusimotoso I would say it is something that is likely to happen at some point
16:09:46Watusimotobut probably not for the next release
16:10:02thread_alright
16:12:40thread_is there any idea on when 019 is going to be considered done?
16:15:08Watusimotono; we want to do a release soonish, but we don't yet have a firm feature list
16:15:22Watusimotomost of the big things are done, but the small things all seem to take a long time
16:15:32WatusimotoI'd guess a month or so
16:15:39Watusimotobut that really is just a guess
16:18:56thread_hmm
16:19:11thread_bob and I keep adding too many ideas I guess
16:21:56Watusimotono worries

17:46:45raptorthe older, the better
17:47:41Nothing_Muchamgine1234567890, there's a new program that runs os x programs called darling

18:31:07Nothing_MuchUbuntu's a nice distro
18:31:36Nothing_MuchI would say that Linux is far superior to Windows, Mac is up there with Ubuntu in terms of reliability and stability
18:31:52Nothing_Muchwb kaen

21:37:05bobdaduckI'm at a major crossroads in my life and I need serious advice
21:37:14Nothing_MuchWhat's up?
21:37:16raptorturn left!
21:37:33raptorthe only way to win is not to play
21:37:40bobdaduckI just don't understand
21:37:52bobdaduck...How to watch the news without becoming extremely misanthropic.
21:38:01kaenpick one.
21:38:03bobdaduckLike seriously, what do I do?
21:38:36Nothing_MuchIgnore it maybe, I guess, or cry about it.
21:39:00bobdaduckYou can't. Adblock is not a high enough level to block news outlets.
21:39:11bobdaduckI haven't learned the "cry" skill.
21:39:13kaenwell basically, the vast majority of media revolves around getting your eyeballs to look at them and not their competitors
21:39:16Nothing_MuchOh, I thought you meant television
21:39:33kaenso what you see is the most shocking/depression/evocative cross section of what happens in the world
21:39:35bobdaduckWhat's television?
21:39:59Nothing_MuchExactly
21:40:27bobdaduckIts not what's being reported, its the fact that its reported at all, and how its reported
21:40:39kaenoh, then go back to one
21:40:44kaencorporate media is a product
21:40:49kaenlike mcdonald's hamburgers
21:41:00bobdaduckgood analogy...
21:41:17kaenextremely bad for you in large doses, but okay once in a while
21:41:36bobdaduckI dunno
21:41:39raptorthat's what doing service is for - to bring you back being philanthropic
21:41:53bobdaducklast time I tried to eat at mcdonalds I had a severe spiritual allergic reaction
21:42:02raptorhaha
21:42:03kaenhehe
21:42:18Nothing_Muchlol
21:42:24bobdaduckI literally could not finish my food inside the resturaunt, I had to leave and eat in my car.
21:42:39bobdaduckSo like... My dillema stands.
21:43:08kaen<kaen> pick one.
21:43:36bobdaduck<kaen> <kaen> pick one.
21:43:43bobdaduckPick one what?
21:43:48raptorgo do your neighbors dishes
21:44:06kaeneither watch the news or don't become extremely misanthropic
21:44:18bobdaduckRight right
21:44:23bobdaduckBut like its everywhere
21:44:33bobdaduckAVOIDING PEOPLE IS HARD.
21:44:39Nothing_Muchbobdaduck, yeah that's true somewhat
21:46:33bobdaduckLike I go to sign in to my email and there it is.
21:46:36bobdaduckThe bane of everything.
21:46:47raptoruse thunderbird!

21:46:53kaenoh
21:46:55kaenohhhh
21:46:55raptoroh
21:46:58raptorthat's not news
21:46:58kaenpop culture news
21:47:02bobdaduckHOW CAN THAT NOT BREAK MY COMPOSURE.
21:47:04kaen"news"
21:47:06raptorthat's... umm... refuse
21:47:13kaenthat's hamburgers!
21:47:18bobdaduckxD
21:47:26Nothing_Muchbobdaduck, look up some technology articles instead!
21:47:43raptorbobdaduck: set up IMAP e-mail in thunderbird
21:47:48raptorno news/ads!
21:48:06bobdaduckBut like forums that I may be on have people talking about it
21:48:18bobdaduckand people talking on the radio on my way to work
21:48:36bobdaduckI'm constantly being bombarded by idiots!
21:48:37kaenthat gets "reported" for the same reason cigarettes get sold and wars get provoked by the military-industrial complex:
21:48:41kaenit's profitable
21:49:10kaenthat drivel is how media outlets harvest the eyeballs of the unwashed masses.
21:49:34kaenbecause the vast majority of people can't understand the subtle complexities of a brewing syrian proxy war
21:49:44kaenbut everyone likes to talk smack about miley twerkin'
21:49:52Nothing_Muchpeople are crazy
21:49:59Nothing_Muchmiley wants whatever attention she can get
21:50:17kaenyeah, and as stated above, everyone airing her footage gets ad revenue for it
21:50:24kaenwho would stop that gravy train?
21:51:08bobdaduck:(
21:52:07Nothing_Muchbobdaduck, sucks dude, sorry

22:00:39bobdaduckI just started playing, kinda, so I wasn't around for M7
22:01:25kaenmtg is so crazy now
22:01:43bobdaduckIz it?
22:02:32kaenI played a game last year with an old friend of mine using some multi-colored dragon decks
22:03:22bobdaduckyeah?
22:03:23kaenI remember conceding when he got out like a dozen 0/1 tokens and buffed them to like 6/6 or something
22:04:16kaenthe specifics elude me, but it was a far cry from four creature slugouts I remember from my youth
22:04:25bobdaduckxD
22:04:57kaenand planeswalkers
22:05:04bobdaduckYes, that definitely happens now. AND PLANESWALKERS.
22:05:21kaenso much wtf when he played that thing and had to explain that it had its own life total ...
22:05:36bobdaducklol
22:06:06bobdaduckCool concept storywise, bad concept gameplaywise.
22:06:32kaenhe had this tezzeret artifact deck with a bunch "affinity for artifact" cards and artifact lands
22:07:01kaenso he would like play his entire hand for free and *then* tap his lands to buff them
22:07:12bobdaduckSuddenly, every artifact is indestructible and he can't lose life!
22:07:16kaenYES
22:07:20kaenI forgot about that
22:07:45bobdaduckbecause like apparently that's legal
22:07:59kaenyeah
22:08:03kaenmtg is so crazy now
22:08:35bobdaduckDepends on how much money you're willing to throw at it, I guess
22:08:43kaendefinitely
22:09:02bobdaduckI think I play almost exclusively for the personality of the cards
22:09:17raptorand if the card dealer didn't already go through the deck he's selling...
22:09:41bobdaduckmost cards are traded individually or in booster packs
22:10:18kaenon an unrelated note:
22:10:24kaen"The version of binary search that I wrote for the JDK contained the same bug. It was reported to Sun recently when it broke someone's program, after lying in wait for nine years or so."
22:10:48bobdaduckthis is your thing?
22:11:07kaenJDK's binary search apparently carried a bug for almost a decade unnnoticed
22:11:25raptoroh wow
22:11:26kaennope, not my thing
22:11:34kaenjust a mutual interest between raptor and I
22:12:12bobdaduckThat's a lot of years!
22:12:42kaenthe offender was "int mid = (low + high) / 2;"
22:12:53kaenapparently the bug was that low + high could overflow INTMAX
22:13:04raptorthat's crazy
22:13:15kaenI would never have ever thought of that while I was coding
22:13:19bobdaduckbrb gonna go beg my mom like dog for half of her grilled-cheese sandwhich
22:13:49kaenif only there were some way one could create his own grilled-cheese sandwich ...
22:14:03kaenunfortunately, no such technology exists so they must be harvested from moms
22:14:31bobdaducktotally worked
22:14:51bobdaduckActually I made it for her
22:14:55bobdaduckBut um
22:14:58bobdaduckI already ate mine
22:15:14bobdaduckand I don't want to go find more white bread
22:15:17kaenlol
22:15:35kaengrilled cheese and french toast are the only two things I use white bread for
22:15:42kaenotherwise I'm a cracked wheat type of guy
22:15:49Nothing_MuchYou should try grilled PBJ
22:15:54Nothing_MuchIt's delicious
22:15:57kaenI have to keep two distinct loaves in my cupboard...
22:16:06bobdaduckWoah, I dunno if I have the courage to try that
22:16:07kaengrilled pbj, sounds promising
22:16:11raptorfavorite condiment on grill cheese?
22:16:17kaencheese?
22:16:17raptorketchup or ranch dressing?
22:16:23bobdaduckCheese is pretty good
22:16:27bobdaduckpepperjack
22:16:27kaenI had no idea people put other things on it
22:16:36raptorwhat? you didn't grow up eating grill chees + ketchup?
22:16:39kaenI have literally never seen such a thing
22:16:44raptorwhAT??
22:16:44bobdaduckand I have this garlic bread sprinkle that makes it just like, pop
22:16:49bobdaduckrofl
22:17:03bobdaduckI've never tried anything else on a grilled cheese though either
22:17:06Nothing_Muchkaen, You need 3TBS of Crunchy PB, 2TBs of Jelly/Jam, and 2 TBS of Marshmallow Cream
22:17:12raptorsurely you've done that bob... wHAT???
22:17:23bobdaduckWE SHOULD ALL HAVE A GRILLED-KETCHUP SANDWHICH PARTY AT RAPTOR'S HOUSE
22:17:27raptori don't understand
22:17:39raptormy... my world view has been altered so drastically
22:18:01bobdaduckxD
22:18:05kaenI don't understand why you'd ruin a perfectly good grilled-cheese sandwich by putting tomatoes in/on/anywhere proximate to it
22:18:12bobdaduckRight?
22:18:47raptornormally, i stongly dislike tomatoes... but ketchup isn't tomatoes anymore (thinking as a kid)... and ketchup on grill cheese made so much sense at the time...
22:18:50kaenI've always had a distaste for tomatoes though :P
22:18:56kaenhehehe
22:19:05Nothing_Muchtomatoes aren't that bad :(
22:19:19bobdaduckThey're alright
22:19:27kaenthey're great in pasta sauce!
22:19:28bobdaduckI wonder if cucumbers would go well with grilled cheese?
22:19:32kaenI just have to not think about it
22:20:12bobdaducklol
22:20:31kaenNothing_Much, glad to see another crunchy PB enthusiast
22:20:58Nothing_Muchhell yeah
22:22:17bobdaduckI dunno why anyone would like creamy?
22:22:31bobdaduckIts obviously inferior, it has less units!
22:23:03kaenlol
22:23:29raptornext question to divide me culturally again...
22:23:37kaenI eat a spoonful of crunchy PB as a snack some times
22:23:37raptordo you... dip your hamburgers in ketchup?
22:23:44bobdaduckdo WHAT
22:23:47Nothing_Muchraptor, and mustard too
22:23:52kaenD:
22:23:53Nothing_Muchand onions
22:23:55Nothing_Muchand cheese
22:23:57Nothing_Muchand pickles
22:23:58kaenthose poor hamburgers...
22:23:59kaenoh
22:24:00kaenlol
22:24:00bobdaduckxD
22:24:07bobdaduckxDD
22:24:14Nothing_Muchteehee
22:24:18raptorno no... i mean, pick up the whole burger and dip it, like a chip in salsa, into ketchup
22:24:39Nothing_Muchwell, when the ketchup drips off from the burger..
22:24:39kaenthat's another first
22:24:44Nothing_Muchsure
22:24:45bobdaduckI prefer to bathe it in molten mayonaise
22:24:53bobdaduckthen harden it in the freezer
22:24:57Nothing_Muchoh you can't forget the mayonnaise
22:25:05Nothing_Muchthat's what blends the flavors perfectly
22:25:09Nothing_Muchspread them on those buns
22:25:13Nothing_Much*spread it
22:25:20raptormy mocking radar just went off!
22:25:41bobdaduckSometimes I like to switch out the mayonaise for mustered
22:25:41kaennever tried mayo on my hamburger
22:25:44bobdaduckreally gives it a kick
22:26:03kaenbut I bread my chicken with mayo, then put more mayo on it when I make fried chicken burgers
22:26:04raptormayo + ketchup was a thing i saw natives do only in wyoming, idaho, and utah
22:26:14kaenit's big up here in WA too
22:26:15Nothing_MuchPut mayonnaise and mustard on at the same time with ketchup!
22:26:26bobdaduckDo you know fry sauce isn't even a thing outside of Utah?
22:26:30kaenmayo + ketchup is commonly referred to as fry sauce here
22:26:35kaenLOL
22:26:41bobdaduckUh
22:26:42Nothing_MuchReally?
22:26:43Nothing_MuchCool
22:26:45bobdaduckI take it back xD
22:26:56raptorno, I think it has migrated
22:27:09raptorpretty sure it started in idaho, though, but not completely sure
22:27:13bobdaduckAh. Oh well, another bit of culture lost
22:27:18Nothing_Muchbobdaduck, you feelin' any better?
22:27:34bobdaduckProbably
22:27:39bobdaduck^.^
22:27:47bobdaduckAnyway so back to hamburgers
22:27:53Nothing_Much*Cheeseburgers
22:27:55bobdaduckWhat I do is
22:27:58Nothing_MuchAmerican cheese
22:27:59bobdaduckI get a chocolate fountain
22:28:03bobdaduckand do it like fondu
22:28:10Nothing_MuchLol seriously?
22:28:18raptorkaen: any reason why glGenTextures would fail when linking against GLES ?
22:28:20bobdaduckand then cover it in sugar
22:28:22bobdaduckstraight up sugar.
22:28:39bobdaduckNot beet sugar, you heretic. Cane sugar.
22:29:06bobdaduckI am fairly sure I'm not serious, no.
22:29:09kaenat linktime? I can't imagine why
22:29:10bobdaduckUsually I can't even tell
22:30:17raptorno, at runtime
22:30:31raptorkeeps returning NULL for texture ids...
22:30:36raptormaybe it's my implementation
22:30:38kaenoh... hm
22:30:44bobdaduckthough that sounds like something I would totally try given the oppertunity
22:34:01raptorglError returns 0 argh
22:34:07kaengoogle keeps mentioning bad parameters to glTexImage2D
22:35:06bobdaduckpsst
22:35:24bobdaduckremember the bitfighter notifier widget for releasing 019
22:35:44bobdaduckAnyone play DnD?
22:35:47raptoroh yeah... that
22:36:09bobdaduck(that was an invitation, not a question)
22:37:20kaenMAN
22:37:27kaenforgot to get peppers and tortillas
22:38:02kaenthis chicken quesadillas are gonna be tricky ...
22:39:05bobdaduckjust chicken
22:39:12bobdaduckon some of that wheat bread you got there
22:40:01bobdaduckAnyway anyone get on bitfighter and play DnD with me or everyone busy?
22:40:50Nothing_MuchI'm gonna give bf a bit more exposure on a little forum I found
22:41:42bobdaduckcool but
22:41:44raptorsorry bobdaduck a bit busy...
22:41:47bobdaduckwe don't have a lot of activity right now
22:41:59bobdaduckexposure without players may not be the best thing
22:42:08bobdaduckwhat we should do is make a massive PR push when 019 comes out
22:43:29Nothing_MuchIt's mostly to get people to notice the game exists
22:43:39bobdaduckyeah
22:43:40Nothing_MuchBut I can see where you're coming from
22:43:46bobdaduckbut that'd be most effective on 019
22:43:54bobdaduckwhen many players begin playing again
22:44:30Nothing_MuchI could say that a newer version will be coming out soon
22:45:10bobdaduckI would advise you to wait, but you can do whatever
22:45:53Nothing_MuchWell, it was recently ported to the Pandora..
22:46:38Nothing_MuchHmm..
22:46:58bobdaduckDUDES
22:47:01Nothing_MuchI'll think about it, but people should try to get to know the game first
22:47:05Nothing_MuchYes?
22:47:07bobdaduckCAN I HAVE LUA ACCES TO CREATING A DUST OBJECT?
22:47:27bobdaducklike the dust flecks that appear when you bump a wall
22:47:30bobdaduckCAN I HAVE THOSE?
22:47:36bobdaduckplzplzplzplzplzplzplz
22:48:03Nothing_MuchAh, I just thought of something
22:48:14Nothing_MuchI'll withhold on posting it for now
22:48:31Nothing_Much019 is a pretty big release from what I've heard
22:48:44bobdaduckhuge
22:48:53bobdaduck019 is to 018 as the wheel is to a fighter jet
22:49:29bobdaduckwhat sugar is to a full made cake
22:50:20bobdaduck018 is in black and white
22:50:22bobdaduck019 is in color
22:50:46bobdaduck018 is sound
22:50:49bobdaduck019 is music
22:51:36bobdaduck018 is a doodle
22:51:38bobdaduck019 is art
22:51:44Nothing_Mucho.o
22:52:44bobdaduckIt runs like melted butter
22:52:49raptorgotta go!
22:52:52raptor Quit ()
22:53:34bobdaduckMassive as a whale, yet as light as a feather
22:53:49bobdaduck019 is, quite simply, the best ever.
22:53:51bobdaduckOf all time.
23:07:12bobdaduck Quit (Remote host closed the connection)
