| 03:12 | < Derakon> | Because of course Emacs needs its own IRC program. |
| 03:13 | < celticminstrel> | Of course. 9_9 |
| 03:16 | < kwsn> | you know |
| 03:16 | < kwsn> | you're at a good company |
| 03:17 | < kwsn> | when you wear a polo shirt to work |
| 03:17 | < kwsn> | and your'e more dressed up than the CEO |
| 03:54 | < McMartin> | ha ha |
| 04:13 | < Derakon> | Hee. On the Angband forums, it's been discovered that a recent development version has broken...food. |
| 04:13 | < Derakon> | "I hesitate to argue from realism, but I believe there is thematic support for food providing nutrition. Certainly there is a long tradition in roguelikes for players being able to complete the game without starving to death and I believe there would be strong resistance to changing this." |
| 04:15 | < McMartin> | Nice. |
| 04:23 | < celticminstrel> | I'm confused. It sounds like they're arguing both for and against something. |
| 04:24 | < Derakon> | They're arguing for food preventing starvation, on the grounds that it's realistic and changing it would prevent players from being able to win the game. |
| 04:24 | < McMartin> | However, they're pretending to feel bad about arguing "it's realistic!" because that is a terrible reason for game mechanics. |
| 04:24 | < celticminstrel> | ...why on earth would food not prevent starvation? |
| 04:25 | < Derakon> | Because it broke! |
| 04:25 | < Derakon> | Usually it does, but this is a development version, a.k.a. buggy. |
| 04:25 | < celticminstrel> | Realism is a terrible reason for game mechanics, but "food preventing starvation" isn't really specific enough to qualify as an argument from realism... |
| 04:26 | < Derakon> | It's a parody of your usual "I object to this change" post. |

| 05:05 | < Derakon> | Algorithmically vectorizing old pixel graphics. |
| 05:07 | < Derakon> | Sadly, looks like the original paper is slashdotted. |
| 05:07 | < Vornicus> | http://imgur.com/a/gRXPJ Fortunately, it has been mirrored. |
| 05:07 | < Vornicus> | I was about to link that. |
| 05:07 | < Derakon> | Awesome. |
| 05:09 | < Vornicus> | I think the dolphin image is beaten out by the Boo on page 3. I'd have assumed the mouth was hand drawn! |
| 05:09 | | * Derakon eyes the Doom Head. |
| 05:10 | < Vornicus> | The Doom Head is kind of fail. |
| 05:10 | < Vornicus> | But only kind of. You can still read it. |
| 05:10 | < Derakon> | Clearly works best with cartoony pixel styles. |
| 05:10 | < Derakon> | That action shot from SMW is win. |
| 05:11 | < McMartin> | Axe Battler looks like a decent Saturday morning cartoon |
| 05:13 | < Derakon> | Maybe a bit heavy on the airbrush. |
| 05:15 | < Vornicus> | I like the way the "HELP" turned out. |

| 21:16 | < Alek> | that actually sounds like a decent guy. |

| 21:25 | < Alek> | I'm waiting for replies from 2 people. |

| 21:34 | < Alek> | you guys. >_> |
| 21:34 | < Alek> | mostly. |
| 21:35 | < AnnoDomini> | Then we are terrible teachers. |
| 21:51 | < AnnoDomini> | Let me try to amend my reflexive instruction with deliberate advice. |
| 21:51 | < AnnoDomini> | Posting often even when it's not necessary, is a sign that you care and are on top of the ball. |
| 21:51 | < AnnoDomini> | Badgering the louts who don't post is a sign you care and are on top of the ball. |
| 21:52 | < AnnoDomini> | Assuming people are doing nothing when their players don't post is an acceptable solution to resolve the issue. |
| 21:54 | < AnnoDomini> | Back when I was running a years-long campaign on DNDOG, I made a habit of posting every day if that was possible, at 2300. It worked for me. It might work for you. |
