00:01 <ProjectCarthage> I almost thought that hat MLP ripoff wasn't going to surface.

00:01 <ProjectCarthage> It's been years since anything was heard about it, right?

00:02 *** Quits: FN (FruitNi@Pony-kskhtt.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) (Connection closed)

00:03 <Hamtramck> Yes.

00:03 <Hamtramck> I still maintain that that the designs are cute although the animation looks really weird. I don't remember it looking like that earlier.

00:04 *** Joins: AznAnalyst (rmkqwonkebu@Pony-fgh9qu.ma.comcast.net)

00:04 *** Joins: Tinsel (siltis@Changeling.Swarmer.Tinsel)

00:04 <ProjectCarthage> Like, really, I had heard about it through a set of videos I'd prefer not to mention, and after all this time, that thing is actually still going to BE a thing?

00:05 <Hamtramck> Also it's german so it's probably going to be about as good as any other german children's show.

00:05 <Hamtramck> Which is to say horrifying :<

00:13 <Snapai> Thelema5, I figured, they used a unicorn, it needed an MLP edit ;p

00:13 <Thelema5> I actually ordered a squatty potty today

00:13 <Thelema5> XD

00:14 <Thelema5> Love the cutie mark

00:14 <Snapai> I'd say let us know how it works...but...actually....don't. XD

00:14 <Thelema5> I'm sure everything will come out alright in the end.

00:14 <Snapai> They asked their followers for a name for the unicorn, otherwise I would figure its name should just be Soft Serve XD

00:25 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

00:25 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Sex Pistols - God Save The Queen

00:25 <Thelema5> Hello again, Future.

00:25 <Thelema5> XD

00:25 <Future> sorry i left!

00:25 <Future> i didn't mean to!

00:27 <AznAnalyst> just instaled adobe flash haha had to restart comp

00:27 <Electron> Snapai, my life won't be the same anymore.

00:27 <Future> lol

00:27 <ProjectCarthage> I'm making more progress in my animation exploits, but I've been recommended an alternative to Flash that doesn't crash while you're trying to make stuff.

00:27 <Snapai> haaaaa

00:27 <ProjectCarthage> ToonBoom.

00:28 <Future> I found another Brony at school today

00:28 <Thelema5> Oh?  Neat!

00:28 <AznAnalyst> gonna try to do a flash animation for nightmare night! this is going to go teribly wrong =w=!

00:28 <Future> that makes 7 in total

00:28 <Snapai> Toonboom is a totally different software, and it is also good

00:28 <ProjectCarthage> Apparently the customer service at TB is way better too.

00:28 <ProjectCarthage> I've been watching PikaPetey stream on Picarto, and he uses that for his content.

00:29 * Cepheid flops.

00:29 <ProjectCarthage> And he keeps ragging on this guy that multistreams with him on occasion because this other guy gets super-annoyed at how often Flash crashed while making this short scene.

00:29 <Cepheid> Comfy beeeddd..

00:29 <ProjectCarthage> It's funny xD

00:31 <Thelema5> Fun!

00:31 <Future> :p

00:31 <Cepheid> Completed a lot of Bloodborne(Still not done.  Surprising.)  And played a bit of Destiny today.  Despite the complaints I've heard of the latter, I like it.  Granted, I did come in after a lot of the broken stuff was fixed, etc.

00:32 <Future> I just drew in school today

00:32 <Thelema5> I colored at work

00:32 <Thelema5> :p

00:32 <peridot> What did you draw?

00:32 <Future> LOL

00:33 <Future> My friend's OC and a Deus Ex: Human Revolusion pony

00:33 <Future> Or at leat I think it's Deus Ex

00:33 <Future> idk

00:33 * peridot is so looking forward to the next deus ex

00:33 <Thelema5> No, I really did!  I colored one of MDP's line drawings: http://artponymdp.deviantart.com/art/Thelema5-recolored-my-midnight-sparkle-line-art-564993162

00:34 <Thelema5> I really think he should compile a coloring book.

00:36 <Future> you saw it right?

00:36 <Cepheid> I really should get around to playing the Deus Ex games.

00:37 <ProjectCarthage> Yeah, I saw it, it's good.

00:37 <Future> i don't even know what Deus Ex is, my friend just said the pony looked like it

00:37 <Sour_Sweet> Cepheid: Good idea

00:37 <Sour_Sweet> DX: HR is amazing.

00:37 <Twilight`Sparkle> Deus Ex is a game.

00:37 <Future> i know

00:38 * Sour_Sweet didn't complete it like 4 times, no, no, no.

00:38 <Twilight`Sparkle> The setting is a rather dystopian future where cybernetics has become fairly commonplace.

00:38 <Thelema5> http://futuritsiccrystal.deviantart.com/art/Peridot-Pony-and-Steven-AUCTION-564804919

00:38 <Thelema5> What's this?

00:39 <Schism> Deus Ex, et al., were exceptional in terms of world-building and the like.  In gaming terms, they've rarely been exceptional.

00:39 <Twilight`Sparkle> it's clearly a Steven Universe x Pony picture.

00:39 <Twilight`Sparkle> Future's lost connection, it should be noted.

00:39 <Schism> Though DX1 was very, very good.

00:39 <Thelema5> Oooh.

00:39 <Electron> Goodnight y'all.

00:39 <Thelema5> Bye!

00:39 <Sour_Sweet> Electron: Bye

00:39 <Twilight`Sparkle> Eh. I played DX1 a bit.

00:40 <ProjectCarthage> I just didn't really have much to say about the Rarity drawing he did.

00:40 <Twilight`Sparkle> I don't think it holds up without having played it at the time it came out.

00:40 <Twilight`Sparkle> *she

00:40 <ProjectCarthage> Oh. sorry.

00:40 <Twilight`Sparkle> Pfft, why apologize to me?

00:41 <ProjectCarthage> 2nd time I've had to correct myself on that front today, first one being in a youtube comment.

00:42 <ProjectCarthage> but anyway, yeah, like I said, I'm aiming for ToonBoom now instead of Flash, partly just hoping I can get it for fairly cheap.

00:42 <Thelema5> ProjectCarthage, "he" is a 12 year old girl, and in that respect I am sincerely impressed with her work.

00:43 <Thelema5> When I was 12, I could hardly put a full sentence together.  :p

00:43 *** Joins: Nicktendonick (Nicktendoni@Pony-77jca1.res.bhn.net)

00:43 <ProjectCarthage> Ok now I'm just confused.

00:44 <Thelema5> I was talking about Future's Rarity pic

00:44 <Twilight`Sparkle> Thelema5 is talking about Future.

00:45 * Thelema5 goes to get a bit of cheddar cheese

00:46 <Night_Blitz> Fuuuuuuuutureeeee

00:46 <peridot> http://undertale.tumblr.com/post/130304472455/undertale-merchandise-coming-soon - I have yet to play this but...here you are!

00:46 <ProjectCarthage> That stuff always confuses me :/

00:47 <ProjectCarthage> Anyway, off this subject before I accidentally offend someone, somehow.

00:48 <Thelema5> Talk about ponies!

00:49 <Thelema5> I'm super duper looper excited for the next episode!

00:49 *** Init3-away is now known as init3

00:49 <peridot> Which you cant talk about!

00:49 <AznAnalyst> i might just look inti toon boon now haha

00:49 <ProjectCarthage> I literally know nothing about the next episode xD

00:49 <AznAnalyst> looking atlot easier than flasj

00:49 <AznAnalyst> flash*

00:50 <Thelema5> I know.... but I accidentally read a spoiler and now I'm psyched

00:50 * Thelema5 says nothing

00:50 <peridot> X3

00:51 <ProjectCarthage> All I can really say is that I hope it's a good one. Season 5 has been on a streak so far, with only 2 episodes that kinda flop.

00:51 <ProjectCarthage> Atleast IMO

00:51 *** Quits: Sketchy_Sounds (Sketchy@strings.and.ink) (Quit: Zzzzzzzzz)

00:51 <Hamtramck> The spike one?

00:52 <AznAnalyst> ??

00:52 <ProjectCarthage> The spike one, and the one with Troubleshoes

00:52 <AznAnalyst> ohh you talking about before the break

00:53 <peridot> Amending fences and rarity investigates are outstanding normal eps from the season so far

00:53 <Thelema5> O.O

00:54 <Thelema5> I loved troubleshoes

00:54 <ProjectCarthage> Every other episode has been really good, even as cringy as Brotherhooves was, the speech at the end made it much better.

00:54 <ProjectCarthage> I don't know, I just didn't care for that episode as a whole.

00:54 <Thelema5> ... I loved Brotherhooves, too.

00:54 <peridot> X3

00:54 * Thelema5 unfriends ProjectCarthage

00:54 <ProjectCarthage> I actually like that one.

00:54 <Thelema5> Nah, I'm kidding of course!

00:54 <Hamtramck> I liked Brotherhooves. I thought it was kind of uncomfortable to watch but given speech at the end I think that was entirely the point.

00:55 <AznAnalyst> i couldnt sit still watching brother hoove social

00:55 <peridot> That speech shredded the feels

00:55 <AznAnalyst> i cringed/laughed outa existanced

00:55 * Thelema5 OrchardBlossom

00:55 <ProjectCarthage> Ok, I just realized how disjointed what I said was, I didn't care for the Troubleshoes episode, and I liked Brotherhooves Social.

00:55 <AznAnalyst> ahh yea at the ed i agree with that lol

00:55 *** Thelema5 is now known as OrchardBlossom

00:55 <AznAnalyst> end*

00:55 <peridot> Powerful stuff

00:55 <OrchardBlossom> :p

00:56 <ProjectCarthage> It helps that Mac doesn't talk that much in the first place.

00:56 <Hamtramck> Troubleshoes ep was cute, the writing was just kind of repetitive.

00:56 *** Quits: CloudChaser (Laty@Pony-9aa.sin.243.177.IP) (Quit: TO THE MOON!!!)

00:56 <ProjectCarthage> It has kinda the same effect as when mac spoke with anger in Ponyville Confidential.

00:56 <AznAnalyst> for me i wanted to do a react video of brother hoove social but it be 5 minutes of a chair and me going OH GOD WHY under my desk

00:56 <OrchardBlossom> I complimented Peter New on his work as OrchardBlossom, and he just said "Eyup!"

00:57 <Schism> So, you folks are going to probably chuckle here.

00:57 <AznAnalyst> i will say this we got what we wanted though haha we wanted more big mac and we got it ! :3

00:57 <ProjectCarthage> A lot of people seemed to like Dash and Scoots being paired up, myself included.

00:57 <OrchardBlossom> I like to chuckle

00:57 <Hamtramck> chuckling is painful stop :((((

00:57 <Schism> First off: in this small city of mine, there has recently been a man shot dead.  This is a pity, and I wish it had never been the case.  Said man was rendered deceased through the application of a bow and arrow.

00:57 <AznAnalyst> o_0?

00:57 <OrchardBlossom> That's terrible news!

00:57 *** OrchardBlossom is now known as Thelema5

00:58 <Schism> It happened out of nowhere, and the likelihood is that it was a crime of opportunity or something akin.

00:58 <fyrepony> Schism:  so they are looking for robin hood now?

00:58 * Thelema5 is not chuckling

00:58 <Schism> Here's the fun part, though.  It took 33 hours for the local police to declare that this was in fact a homicide, and not a self-inflicted wound.

00:58 <Thelema5> O.O

00:58 <Thelema5> Really?

00:58 <AznAnalyst> jesus

00:58 <Schism> http://kitchener.ctvnews.ca/kitchener-arrow-death-now-being-treated-as-a-homicide-1.2597474 <- Really.

00:58 <Thelema5> Woooow

00:59 <ProjectCarthage> Whoever was investigating it is a freaking idiot.

00:59 <Thelema5> I'm trying to imagine how one would even...

00:59 <Thelema5> NO, it's not physically possible.

01:00 <Hamtramck> You just reminded me that Columbus is up to like... idk how many shootings this year. And now I'm sad :TTTT

01:00 <Schism> THAT's the part which makes you just gawk in amazement and start chuckling.  Not the death, that's horrific.  The sheer failure.

01:00 <Schism> Hamtramck: No longer living in Delaware, for which I'm glad.

01:01 <fyrepony> its people

01:01 <Hamtramck> Schism, does Delaware have a crime problem?

01:01 <Hamtramck> Or is it just boring there?

01:01 <Thelema5> "Detectives have received “significant information” from the community"... like "You Can Shoot Yourself With A Bow!"?

01:01 <ProjectCarthage> Ugh.

01:02 <Schism> Pretty boring, every now and then.  Oh, you know, you get the stuff all small towns do... the occasional DWI, domestic disturbance, ritual sacrifice.  But it's all pretty normal.

01:02 <fyrepony> lol

01:02 <ProjectCarthage> Dang it, there shouldn't be any drama about that, we don't need this tumblr junk.

01:02 <Schism> Hamtramck: In all seriousness, Delaware's as dull as dull can be.

01:02 <Hamtramck> Kids these days with their tumblr

01:02 <Hamtramck> Back in my day we had livejournals

01:02 <Hamtramck> and wrote about knitting

01:02 <Thelema5> I've vacationed in Delaware.

01:03 <Hamtramck> Delaware, Ohio?

01:03 <Schism> No, no.  Delaware, Ohio.

01:03 <Thelema5> Ooh.

01:03 <Schism> Bout 30 miles off Columbus.

01:03 <Hamtramck> Whyyyyyy would you vacation in Delaware, Ohio XD

01:03 <Hamtramck> Schism: 30? Like, two.

01:03 <Schism> Hamtramck, horse racing, of course.

01:03 <Thelema5> I was speaking of the small seaside state.

01:03 <Hamtramck> Oh wait.

01:03 <Hamtramck> It's like three miles from Worthington.

01:03 <Hamtramck> I keep forgetting that Worthington's not Columbus.

01:03 <Schism> Right, closer to 15 from Columbus.  Feels farther.

01:04 <Schism> It's a half hour drive, either way.

01:04 <Schism> Either way, /meh./  And yeah, Worthington's pretty close.

01:04 <Thelema5> Guys, I'm 99% sure I just ate some spoiled cheese.  Am I going to be alright?

01:04 <Hamtramck> Cheese is already spoiled...

01:04 <fyrepony> Thelema5:  was it bluecheese?

01:04 <Schism> Spoiled how?

01:05 <Schism> That is, what sort of molds were you seeing?

01:05 <Thelema5> It was cheddar which has the aftertaste of mold

01:05 <Thelema5> And now that's all I taste

01:05 <Thelema5> Blech

01:05 <Hamtramck> Man I got bad brie once.

01:05 <Hamtramck> It was /deeply bitter/

01:05 <Hamtramck> Or it tasted like garbage

01:05 <Hamtramck> I can't remember.

01:05 <Schism> Okay, hrm.  You should be fine, I think, Thelema5.

01:06 <Thelema5> This just tastes like old, mildewed bedsheets

01:06 <Thelema5> Ugh

01:06 <Schism> Ehn.  Do you have any vinegar?

01:06 <Hamtramck> Is it Kraft? If it's Kraft, their cheese just sucks >:3

01:06 <Thelema5> No, it's not Kraft

01:06 <Thelema5> I do have vinegar.  You think dousing it in acid might help?

01:06 <Schism> Thelema5: Toss the rest of the cheese, but for the mould on your tongue and palate, gargle a tablespoon or two of vinegar in a cup of hot water.

01:07 <Tinsel> their cheese isnt cheese, but it is addictive

01:07 <Schism> Maybe swig a bit, it won't hurt and might help a bit.

01:07 <Sour_Sweet> I'll head towards my bed now. Have a good night ponies.

01:08 <fyrepony> i watched in horror as fallout 4 system specs were out   http://uk.ign.com/articles/2015/10/08/fallout-4-install-size-and-recommended-specs-revealed?utm_campaign=fbposts&utm_source=facebook

01:08 <fyrepony> they are insane

01:08 <Thelema5> Goodnight, Sour_Sweet

01:08 *** Sour_Sweet is now known as Seoson|BNC

01:09 <Hamtramck> I feel like system specs are inflated because people don't know how to optimize

01:09 <Schism> I don't think you should be at risk of anything, Thelema5.  All told, molds are generally benign, and I really doubt you've been exposed to botulinum or anything of the sort.

01:09 <Schism> Heck, you know cheese.  Mold is a big thing.

01:09 <Hamtramck> Isn't botulism anaerobic anyway?

01:09 <Schism> Yeah.

01:10 <Hamtramck> Speaking of mold I need to go de-mildew my shower.

01:10 <Schism> Vinegar works pretty well there, too, I'm given to understand.

01:12 <Schism> !link https://derpibooru.org/996477 < Yup, Uotapo is trying to kill us all.

01:12 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this picture is about equestria girls adoragio the dazzlings food upvotes galore (and 18 more)

01:14 *** peridot is now known as Sunset-Shimmer

01:20 <FruitNibbler> I'd watch this style of Eqg

01:20 <Schism> Oh, also.  I'm about 5 minutes on foot from where that elderly gent was shot.

01:21 <FruitNibbler> It is less cringy than those disproportionate legs

01:21 <FruitNibbler> Mold =/= mold

01:22 <FruitNibbler> They all are different

01:22 <Schism> Yes, yes, I am aware.

01:22 <FruitNibbler> The dangerous types are rare

01:23 <Schism> True, especially when it comes to the harder cheeses.

01:23 <FruitNibbler> Like only two mold types on bread are dngerous (greenish and black spots), and also a mold that likes to live in the bathrooms (although I don't know how would you ingest that)

01:23 * Schism nibbles on some fruit with cheese.

01:23 <Schism> If you start licking your shower walls, you may have deeper concerns.

01:24 <Sunset-Shimmer> X3

01:24 <FruitNibbler> Sure mold can ruin the taste that you are expecting, but in most cases your digestive system will handle it no problem (unless you get so grossed out that you puke it out of disgust)

01:25 <FruitNibbler> Far more dangerous is actually to sniff mold than eat it

01:25 <Sunset-Shimmer> But....why would anyone eat it?

01:25 <FruitNibbler> The spores can comfortably set up camp and live in nasal cavities or airways, which is very bad

01:26 <Schism> If I see black or red mold, I just toss the damn stuff.

01:26 <Schism> Pardon my Francois.

01:26 <FruitNibbler> Although in my case it haven't: I have a type of mold living in my sinuses without causing harm to me

01:26 <AznAnalyst> somone shoot me or some how wipe the last 30 minutes of my life

01:26 <Schism> Well, really, if I see mold in general I toss it, though some exceptions can be made.  And whyso, Azn?

01:27 <AznAnalyst> soo how many episodes in season 5 have been released?

01:27 <Twilight`Sparkle> Sunset-Shimmer: one assume it only happens on accident.

01:27 <Twilight`Sparkle> ...are we on 18 now?

01:27 <Sunset-Shimmer> Thiiiink 17 or 18

01:27 <Twilight`Sparkle> one of those two.

01:27 <FruitNibbler> I ate molded bread, cheese and fruits by mistake, but never had any adverse effects other than disappointment that I need to throw the rest of that product away

01:27 <AznAnalyst> i may have just watched a spoiler on an episode that is going to be released in the future and i watch the ending and middle part X_X

01:28 <Twilight`Sparkle> Probably episode 21.

01:28 <AznAnalyst> DARN YOU YOUTUBE!!!!

01:28 <FruitNibbler> Ooooh

01:28 <Twilight`Sparkle> My condolences.

01:28 <AznAnalyst> and yes it was ep 21

01:28 <Schism> Azn: Oh, it'll be fine.

01:32 <Twilight`Sparkle> it was aight

01:32 <Sunset-Shimmer> It was fun

01:32 <Sunset-Shimmer> I enjoyed it for what it was

01:32 <ProjectCarthage> I enjoyed it, falls short of being better than Rainbow Rocks, but still better than the first movie.

01:33 <AznAnalyst> cool cool

01:35 <ProjectCarthage> -_-

01:35 <ProjectCarthage> I always get annoyed at how close my opinions match the common thing.

01:36 <Sunset-Shimmer> I think thats not a bad thing

01:36 <ProjectCarthage> Like, favorite characters, Dash, Vinyl, Luna and Sweetie Belle, typical.

01:36 <Sunset-Shimmer> It means you had an honest feeling and others felt the same or similar

01:37 <Sunset-Shimmer> You cant worry your whole life over yhis stuff

01:43 <wobniaR> ?

01:44 <Sunset-Shimmer> Yes

01:44 <wobniaR> Good good

01:44 * wobniaR buys all the phoenix wright games on amazon

01:44 <Sunset-Shimmer> The only difference is the 3d lack and thats it.

01:44 <wobniaR> I can live without it

01:45 <Schism> Yupyup.  Many 3DS games can still be played on a 2DS, but you'll want to doublecheck system specs beforehand.

01:45 <Sunset-Shimmer> The only time it matters is new 3ds games

01:45 <Sunset-Shimmer> Thats really it

01:45 *** CocoCleaning is now known as CocoPommel

01:45 <wobniaR> Well I'm talking original PW trilogy, apollo justice, edgeworth one

01:45 <wobniaR> If it can play those I'm good

01:45 <wobniaR> Excellent

01:46 <Sunset-Shimmer> Get it. Now

01:46 <wobniaR> Is there any way to buy the whole trilogy at once or do I gotta buy the individual games?

01:46 <Schism> Ghost Trick's fine on the regular DS.  Also, yes, great game.

01:46 <Sunset-Shimmer> Trilogy is on eshop

01:46 <wobniaR> How much is it?

01:51 <Schism> A nice neat combination of thriller, Escape-The-Room, and visual novel.

01:51 <Sunset-Shimmer> Maaaan the DS is just wonderful for these kindsa games

01:51 <Sunset-Shimmer> Love it to bits

06:02 <Twilight`Sparkle> Not Spanish and Portuguese?

06:02 <MarsToSirius> Cantonese uses a similar character set, but even to an untrained ear it sounds quite different

06:03 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> Mandarin is the most radically different among all varieties of Chinese. But none of the major groups are mutally intelligible, I think. So more like Spanish and French than Spanish and Portuguese.

06:03 <Thelema5> What might I expect my local chinese take out place employees to be speaking?

06:03 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> But within each major grouping there are plenty of further divisions, so you can definitely find a comparison to Spanish and Portuguese.

06:04 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> Thelema5: Historically, more Chinese immigrants to America were from Cantonese-speaking regions than any other regions. But if they've come to the US more recently, probably Mandarin.

06:04 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> I've had two ABC (American-born Chinese) roommates, and one spoke Shanghainese at home, but alse spoke Mandarin

06:05 <MarsToSirius> Cantonese-owned establishments, at least around my area, seem to be more standalone restaurants (sometimes buffet areas), while the Mandarin owners tend to be in strip malls and other sort of "village" outlets

06:05 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> the other just spoke Mandarin

06:05 <Thelema5> How confusing!

06:05 <MarsToSirius> The Chinese place across the corner from my apartment complex has Mandarin owners and managers, but all their employees mainly speak Spanish

06:06 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> Thelema5: not more so than European languages, except we don't still call all Romance languages Latin.

06:06 <MarsToSirius> ... hmm. Maybe English and German?

06:06 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> But it is common to call Mandarin and Cantonese and the others Chinese

06:06 <MarsToSirius> ... though... nah

06:06 <Twilight`Sparkle> German isn't a romance language, though.

06:07 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> For hysterical raisins, often they're called dialects rather than languages, because Chinese think of themselves as having a common cultural heritage, therefore one language

06:07 <MarsToSirius> I just mean for the sake of comparison.

06:07 *** Quits: MDP (mark@Pony-geh4o1.cable.rogers.com) (Quit: Leaving)

06:07 <MarsToSirius> i.e. while German and English are *similar* they're still two radically different languages

06:07 <Twilight`Sparkle> English is only somewhat that way.

06:07 <MarsToSirius> But then I thuoght about it and I was basically wrong anyway

06:08 <FruitNibbler> I'd say english is less coherent than german

06:08 <Twilight`Sparkle> sklifter hurr durr borkdy doop..

06:09 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> FruitNibbler: how so?

06:10 <FruitNibbler> English is far more irregular than german

06:10 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> Well, but how is it less coherent?

06:10 <FruitNibbler> Too many ambiguities

06:11 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> Pshaw, language is inherently ambigious at times, but do you think English speakers have more misunderstandings because of their language than German speakers?

06:11 <Twilight`Sparkle> English just loves context.

06:11 <Twilight`Sparkle> Always the context.

06:12 <Twilight`Sparkle> Which is why lifting specific lines out of context can be incredibly hilarious or even completely reverse the intended meaning :d

06:15 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o ConfusionRift

06:15 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> There's a thread on a Chinese forum discussing an ambigious sentence, which happens to be ambiguous in the same way in English. It translates to: "He didn't buy books at the store." This could mean: 1. He didn't buy books at the store (he watched TV at home), 2. He bought books but not at the store, or 3. He didn't buy books at the store (he bought bikes).

06:15 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> Is it less ambiguous in German?

06:15 <ConfusionRift> Hello ev- oh.

06:16 <Twilight`Sparkle> Hi Rifty!

06:16 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> Of course, in Chinese (or English) the sentence could be reworded to be unambiguous. But the point is ambiguity is common in language.

06:16 * Twilight`Sparkle adds ConfusionRift to the juggling.

06:16 <ConfusionRift> Hey there.

06:17 <Thelema5> MarcusGarciaWulfric, you should read that sentence in the original Klingon.

06:17 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsCVuO1yeJc

06:17 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

06:17 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Shakespeare in the original Klingon

06:18 <Twilight`Sparkle> But have you heard it in the original lojban?

06:18 <Thelema5> :p

06:18 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> I'd like to see what lojban turns into when it goes through a child's universal grammar module

06:21 <MarsToSirius> MarcusGarciaWulfric, the important thing to note is that the intent of sentences like that are usually revealed through emphasis

06:21 <MarsToSirius> f.ex., "He didn't buy BOOKS at the store" easily implies he bought something else

06:21 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> Twilight`Sparkle: there's argument over whether Classical Chinese was only written (and therefore a constructed language) or whether people ever spoke it. It's so compact, almost every word can be either a noun or a verb, and grammatical particles are optional, they disambiguate a sentence, but they're never required.

06:21 <MarsToSirius> "HE didn't buy books..." implies someone else bought the books at the store

06:22 <Twilight`Sparkle> MarcusGarciaWulfric: interesting.

06:23 <Twilight`Sparkle> And yeah, intonation is important in English.

06:24 <Twilight`Sparkle> The example I've come across lately is "I never said she stole my money."

06:24 <MarsToSirius> Which... I imagine is sort of hard for a language like Chinese, where every word has a different tone that changes the entire meaning of the word

06:24 <Twilight`Sparkle> Seven different meanings depending on stress.

06:24 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> I think English verbs nouns and vice versa more than most European languages, but I'd have to ask someone who's fluent in another one.

06:24 <MarsToSirius> I'd say so too

06:24 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> MarsToSirius: don't think of the "same word" existing in several different tones, just think of different words having the same sounds but different tones.

06:25 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> It's like how "b" and "p" are formed with the same mouth shape but one has a difference in how the air passes through the throat, so in English "big" and "pig" are different words.

06:26 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> But some languages don't distinguish voiced and unvoiced, so you could perhaps use voicing as a way of imparting emphasis.

06:27 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Deeor8_q9cM But you can definitely emphasize words in a tonal language.

06:27 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

06:27 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Qing Wen: How to Add Emphasis to Your Chinese

06:27 <MarsToSirius> Oh, nice

06:28 <Thelema5> boo hau

06:28 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> Thelema5: 不好?

06:30 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> It's a long video but you can see them emphasizing different parts of a sentence right here https://youtu.be/Deeor8_q9cM?t=108

06:30 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> With an English speech bubble

06:30 <Thelema5> It's greek to me.

06:30 <Thelema5> :p

06:30 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> Ancient Greek was also a tonal language

06:31 <Twilight`Sparkle> Rather appropriate, then.

06:31 <MarsToSirius> I'm just content learning Spanish, man.

06:31 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> In the time it will take me to become at all good in Chinese, you can learn Spanish, French, and German :-)

06:31 <MarsToSirius> My HVAC operators speak Vietnamese, I hear French from some of the other students, my neighbors speak Hindi... I live in a colorful world

06:32 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> Tones aren't the biggest problem with Chinese, it's that there are basically no cognates.

06:33 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> If I wanted to learn Spanish or Dutch, I'd have a leg up because so many words would be pretty obviously cognate to English words.

06:33 <Thelema5> Just learned that the mandarin name for america is pronounced "may-gwoh", or 'beautiful county'.  Is this true?

06:34 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> Thelema5: yes, but the "mei" is chosen for its phonetic value, phonetic transcriptions into Chinese often have their literal meanings ignored

06:34 <fyrepony> oh hell no, new need for speed release was just pushed to summer 2016....

06:34 <Thelema5> Huh.

06:34 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> Germany is "duh-gwoh" with the first character meaning "virtue", and France is "fa-gwoh" wit hthe first character meaning "law"

06:34 <fyrepony> so AAA release for this year = starwars battlefront

06:35 <Thelema5> Well that's interesting.

06:35 *** Gigabit is now known as Snoarin

06:35 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> Canada is Jianada with characters meaning add, hold, big

06:38 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> Similarly, from the Japanese transcription of "America" 亜米利加, we get the shortened 米国, which is pronounced as beikoku and means "rice country"

06:38 <Thelema5> Man, it's been a week and a half since I laid down this cider, and it's still fermenting vigorously. These cool temps and slow ferment are going to make it retain a lot of flavor

06:39 <MarsToSirius> Rice country?

06:39 <FruitNibbler> I am still curious as why chinese didn't derive hiragana-katakana-esque phonetic "alphabet"

06:39 <MarsToSirius> I take offense to that

06:39 <MarsToSirius> "Corn country" is better

06:39 <ConfusionRift> Beh, the  sudden cold weather is pretty bad. Everyone's getting sick

06:39 <Thelema5> Corn makes more sense.  We're only the 11th largest rice producing country,

06:39 <MarsToSirius> Have you been to the Great Plains? You can find places where corn fields stretch for MILES in every direction, it's insanity

06:39 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> FruitNibbler: because Chinese characters work much better for Chinese than they do for Japanese

06:39 <FruitNibbler> That way phonetic spellings could be done without any need for glyphs with meaning

06:39 <ConfusionRift> Aaargh! (closes Steam)

06:40 <MarsToSirius> You can do phonetic spellings in Chinese and in fact I believe that's how they get most of their loanwords

06:40 <Twilight`Sparkle> wassa matta Steam, ConfusionRift?

06:40 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> In China there wasn't historically a big need for phonetic transcriptions from other countries, so the few loan words just use Chinese characters to transcribe them

06:41 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> I took Japanese in high school and often, if you didn't know a word, you could guess that the closest Japanese phonological equivalent to an English word would exist in the lexicon, and be right. Not so with Chinese, they have fewer loan words than the French do.

06:41 <ConfusionRift> Twilight`Sparkle: ...heh? Oh. Just that since I restarted Steam, it immediately went to online mode. Depending of how you go on the computer, it switches to online and offline, with a droning noise. It gets annoying.

08:51 <RazorSharpFang> /how/ ?

08:51 <RazorSharpFang> By their name?

08:52 <ConfusionRift> I think you meant "what".

08:52 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> If you're asking for a word, "homeless person" is pretty common

08:52 <Electron> Yes, "what".

08:52 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> "Bum" is slightly pejorative but it's also common

08:52 <ConfusionRift> A homeless person. Some call them hobos. It depends on place and perspective.

08:52 <MarcusGarciaWulfric> I think of a hobo as someone who rides the rails

08:53 <Electron> The news in my city says: "Schoolchildren set a homeless person on fire yesterday."

08:53 <ConfusionRift> That's basically what a hobo is. One who travels with very little.

08:53 <Electron> "They poured an alcoholic liquid over him and light him up."

08:53 <RazorSharpFang> It should be lit

08:53 <Twilight`Sparkle> And they should all be in juvie!

08:53 <Electron> Right. My bad.

08:54 <Evil_Spike> To me, they're homeless people.

08:54 <Schism> Transients, in some cases - though that's more used for those who move around a lot.

08:54 <Twilight`Sparkle> Hobos are usually a bit more mobile, too, least in my lexicon.

08:54 <Schism> Or vagrants.  In any event, 'homeless' is a good catch-all.

08:55 <Schism> Still, that's a horrible story.

08:56 <ConfusionRift> Anywaaaays. Yes, not a pleasant story.

08:56 <Schism> Bwarh.  There seems to be a lot of cake smuggled through Muldova.

08:57 <ConfusionRift> About $200, maybe.

08:58 <ConfusionRift> Actually, no.

08:58 <Evil_Spike> With about 16 games though?

08:59 <RazorSharpFang> That price is good if it comes with 16 games, imo

08:59 <RazorSharpFang> Quite the bundle

08:59 <Evil_Spike> Oh, and also controllers.

09:00 <ConfusionRift> They're selling PS3s for about $250 at most. That means you might get half if lucky. Games have lost their value quite substantially at this point.

09:00 <ConfusionRift> I would say that maybe $200. but expect less.

10:11 <Twilight`Sparkle> Any rate, I'd go for less personal measures. You should write in via submit, open a dialogue with one of the blog ponies, see what can/should be posted up on the blog site itself.

10:11 <LunaticHell> Blogs, eh?

10:11 <anna75011> yes but she hasn't access to her facebook as long as she's there, that's why I wanted support messages to gie them to her while she's there for her to see that she's supported

10:11 <ConfusionRift> Try to keep personal things vague, like emails, names, personal info, etc.

10:12 <Twilight`Sparkle> If nothing else there could possibly be a specific post for people to post well wishes in the comments. You could easily pick the good ones from there.

10:12 <anna75011> of course

10:13 <LunaticHell> Maybe I'll start writing a blog, that could be fun.

10:13 <Twilight`Sparkle> any rate.

10:14 <Twilight`Sparkle> I need sleep myself.

10:14 <LunaticHell> Sleep well, Tiamat Sparkle.

10:15 <Electron> Goodnight, Twilight`Sparkle.

10:15 <CleverDerpy> nini, miss Twilight`Sparkle

10:15 <RazorSharpFang> I've started playing fallout shelter.

10:15 <RazorSharpFang> I'm absolutely awful at it.

10:16 <CleverDerpy> i heard Fallout 4 won a lot of awards, and it's not even out yet

10:16 <RazorSharpFang> Classic gaming industry

10:16 <RazorSharpFang> Giving out awards without the game out yet.

10:17 <CleverDerpy> well, it won said awards at e3

10:17 <CleverDerpy> so... yeah

10:17 <CleverDerpy> that's a given

10:18 <RazorSharpFang> I wonder if I'm doing something wrong in Fallout shelter, cos all my rushes seem to fail.

10:19 <RazorSharpFang> It says 30% chance to fail, but I'm getting WAY more than that.

10:19 <CleverDerpy> on the bright side

10:19 *** Joins: F4celess (Norse@Pony-e9m1uj.eidsiva.net)

10:20 <CleverDerpy> if you fail in succession enough times, sooner or later with probability in place, your next chance of it happening again are decreasing

10:20 <CleverDerpy> unless the odds reset

10:20 <RazorSharpFang> CleverDerpy: That's not how independent events work.

10:21 <CleverDerpy> i dunno, just trying to make you feel better is all

10:26 <Schism> Gambler's fallacy.  "I haven't won for a long while, I'm /due/ for a big win now!"

10:27 <Schism> Mind, some games like City of Heroes /do/ have a setup where a streak of hits or misses is eventually interrupted by the system, in order to prevent the player from feeling like it's weighted totally against them.

10:27 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah. I'm just noticing more failures than successes...

10:27 <RazorSharpFang> When the chance of success is higher.

10:27 <Schism> I suspect that's because the AI may well be a cheating liar.

10:29 <Colgate> poni pones

10:30 <ConfusionRift> "AI always wins by default. Rule are int heir favor."

10:30 * ConfusionRift patpats Colgate.

10:30 <ConfusionRift> Seems I think in integers. I keep making the same mistake.

10:31 <Colgate> 2

10:31 *** Awaykitty is now known as Unixkitty

10:32 <Schism> Randomly: I think that Rep. Mark Takano might have the very best grasp of the internet.

10:33 <ConfusionRift> [Random] Donuts are weird.

10:33 <Schism> No, doughnuts are delicious and perfectly shaped.]

10:34 * Schism boops ConfusionRift with a jelly-filled bismarck.

10:35 <ConfusionRift> I miss cream cheese filled donuts.

10:35 <Schism> Paczki!

10:35 <Schism> These things, CR?  http://www.recipechart.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/cream-cheese-filled-donut-paczki.jpg

10:36 <ConfusionRift> Close, bit with a bit more cream cheese. :P

10:36 <Schism> No reason that you can't add even more.  <.<

10:37 <ConfusionRift> Yeeeessss. YEEESSSSS! (fills it till it explodes)

10:38 <ConfusionRift> Mooooreeeee!

10:38 <Schism> You're mad, I tell you!  Mad!

10:38 * Schism flails! ConfusionRift will kill us aaaaallll~
