[brucewayne]|21:47 K-Y asks, "we use #batman?" [brucewayne]|21:47 Jon says, "well, I assume someone does." [brucewayne]|21:47 Jon says, "if only to talk about dead parents" [brucewayne]|21:48 K-Y says, "it's not like this channel's going anywhere" [brucewayne]|21:48 K-Y says, "or any channel" [lounge]|21:48 inky just fights an octopus one day for no reason. [lounge]|21:48 inky says, "re-me" [lounge]|21:49 K-Y says, "the inkman" [brucewayne]|21:49 K-Y says, "also, now I'm reminded of how they dealt with Batman dying in the comics" [brucewayne]|21:49 Jon says, "true, but batman has more members" [lounge]|21:50 Jon says, "inky of inktown" [brucewayne]|21:50 K-Y says, "'conveniently, one of his mortal enemies has performed plastic surgery on himself to look exactly like Bruce Wayne'" [brucewayne]|21:51 K-Y says, "'let's invite him over to live in his penthouses and get chauffeured around by Alfred because we have to keep up pretenses'" [brucewayne]|21:51 Jon says, "man wtf" [brucewayne]|21:52 Jon says, "that is a clever idea right up there with accepting a package for Superman which turns out to be a lead-lined box, sent by some guy named 'L L'."

[brucewayne]|21:54 Jon says, "for instance, I bet DC Comics Bruce Wayne could do that." [brucewayne]|21:55 Jon says, "there's very little he can't do." [lounge]|21:56 Fang is told of the death of Christ, and becomes so angry that the brain bursts from his head, and he dies. The blood from the wound baptises him as a Christian, and his soul goes to heaven. [lounge]|21:57 Emily goes home. [lounge]|21:57 * Emily has disconnected.

[videogames]|22:24 Fang says, "Mann vs Machine is ridiculously bugged" [videogames]|22:24 Fang says, "firstly, matchmaking just doesn't work" [videogames]|22:24 Fang says, "but you can join servers manually" [videogames]|22:24 Fang says, "and invite people on" [videogames]|22:24 Fang says, "secondly, the game plays okay.... except when you lose" [videogames]|22:25 Fang says, "and instead of losing, you game continues, except it's impossible to lose any more" [videogames]|22:25 Fang says, "any enemies that get to the target zone just die, or stand there." [videogames]|22:25 Fang says, "oh, and if you win" [videogames]|22:26 Fang says, "the 'VICTORY' window gets stuck" [videogames]|22:26 Fang says, "and stays in the middle of your screen forever, in all subsequent rounds" [geekiness]|22:34 genericgeekgirl says, "Well, we just bought a shiny new car. And there was no yelling in broken English this time around ;)" [videogames]|22:43 Jota asks, "So the key is to draw the game out for as long as possible without winning or losing?" [lounge]/22:59 Jota turns into a slimy toad! [lounge]|22:59 Fang is told of the death of Christ, and becomes so angry that the brain bursts from his head, and he dies. The blood from the wound baptises him as a Christian, and his soul goes to heaven.

[lounge]|23:12 lpsmith wave! [robmumble]|23:13 lpsmith asks, "Hey, what's up with Rob?" [robmumble]|23:13 lpsmith says, "His facebook just turned maudlin." [robmumble]|23:16 K-Y says, "he was just here today" [nap]|23:17 jenrexrode says, "oh snap, I've been asleep for 3 hrs" [lounge]|23:18 jenrexrode wanders off.

[robmumble]|23:29 jenrexrode says, "mom" [lounge]|23:40 Miseri is very disappointed in you. Earlier, he may have ransacked your office, but he is *very* disappointed in you. [robmumble]|23:43 Ellison asks, "did he say something on here?" [robmumble]|23:44 jenrexrode says, "nope, all on FB" [robmumble]|23:45 DavidW says, "and the FB stuff is too cryptic to comment on." [robmumble]|23:49 Ellison says, "that is a cool 'hang in there' drawing he got" [robmumble]|23:52 jenrexrode says, "aw" [robmumble]|23:52 lpsmith says, "Yeah." [robmumble]|23:54 DavidW says, "ah, he's being a bit less cryptic finally" [videogames]|00:06 K-Y says, "someone has hacked the Pier Solar cartridge and distributed the ROM online" [lounge]|00:06 Yuri arrives from the east. [videogames]|00:06 K-Y says, "i.e. the homebrew Genesis cartridge that is being sold independently right now" [lounge]|00:07 Ellison | I tried to super glue it. Why can I INSTANTLY super glue my hands, but not anything else? (Especially made of plastic?) [lounge]|00:07 jenrexrode nods. [lounge]|00:07 Ellison says, "that is Recchi talking about his pinball-fixing exploits." [lounge]|00:08 jenrexrode says, "well it IS a medical miracle..." [lounge]|00:11 zarf moves. [lounge]|00:12 DavidW says, "I've never really heard a good explanation for how glue works." [lounge]|00:15 DavidW says, "And possibly the full answer involves knowing shape and organization of the molecules involved, which the average person knows little about." [lounge]|00:16 DavidW asks, "Like, isn't plastic made of long bendy spaghetti-like molecules haphazardly dumped any which way?" [lounge]|00:17 DavidW says, "But I don't even have a guess how skin molecules look like or how organized they are." [facebook]|00:17 jenrexrode says, "clicking "Like" on your own stuff - I think it's like priming the tip jar." [lounge]|00:18 jenrexrode says, "dunno" [facebook]|00:18 DavidW says, "yes, it makes it more likely to appear in news feeds, I think." [lounge]|00:19 ghira wakes [lounge]|00:19 jenrexrode says, "hi g" [lounge]|00:19 ghira says, "jenster" [lounge]|00:20 DavidW says, "If glue molecules are more-or-less hooked shaped, and if that's how glue works, the hooks might just slip off the mostly straight plastic molecules." [lounge]|00:20 DavidW says, "But this might be my ass talking. I don't know how glue works." [lounge]|00:20 jenrexrode says, "don't make me put those 2 sentences together with glue" [lounge]|00:21 DavidW says, "'I'll Never Shit In This Town Again.'" [lounge]|00:23 Yuri goes home.

[robmumble] Rob says, "and I'm a grown man and not used to crying" [robmumble] Rob says, "thanks recchi" [robmumble] ghira realises he is using "robmum" to type name of channel [robmumble] ghira shakes fist at robmum [robmumble] inky says, "ha ha aw" [robmumble] Rob says, "heh, agh, robmum, oh geez" [robmumble] Rob says, "she could be the best person in the world but she keeps choosing to be the worst" [robmumble] Rob says, "goddang it hurts so much" [robmumble] Rob says, "ow" [robmumble] DavidW says, "I suggest not talking to her any more.

[robmumble] ghira asks, "if it comes down to it is the "oh, get knotted, mum" option possible?" [robmumble] Rob says, "the only sympathy I can yet muster is that she's doing to me what her parents apparently did to her" [robmumble] jenrexrode says, "not good enough" [robmumble] Rob says, "but she supposedly was going to break this cycle and instead is doubling down on it" [robmumble] Rob says, "and I'm getting all of it" [robmumble] Recchi says, "it sucks, but I am glad you're not bottling it all up inside" [robmumble] Rob says, "yeah somehow it's all roiled to the surface this week" [robmumble] Rob says, "normally I keep it dammed up, but she TNT'd the dam a few nights ago" [robmumble] Rob says, "in a merciless surprise attack massacre" K-Y then looked around and came to the conclusion that pretty much no one in this lounge even lifts. K-Y has disconnected. [robmumble] Rob says, "also with a serrated saw blade lance slathered in poison" [robmumble] Rob says, "she has to stop doing this" [robmumble] Rob says, "I'm strong but not this strong" [robmumble] jenrexrode says, "I've been reading a lot about dealing with difficult people. Of course it's going to be a lot worse when it's your own mom, and at your home." Rob says, "back later, going to watch goofy nonthreatening tv for a while" [robmumble] Rob says, "yeah" Rob heads right on out. Find release from your cares. have a good time. Seeya later.
