<Fiora> Jokes about ballistics are just so derivative.
<Fiora> These puns are accelerating in terribleness.
<saladofstones> that's beautiful Fiora, I think
<saladofstones> I need to turn it into a message about not going ballistic, though
<Fiora> (Sorry, calculus puns are obligatory!)
<GMH> Calculus puns are integral to every collection of nerdy puns.
<zeroplusalpha> I can't really differentiate between them, I'm terrible at maths.
<Fiora> I think I'm reaching my limits >_<
<Fiora> I don't think these puns can remain continuous for long.  Soon they're going to have to leave our domain.
<Juan> oh god i don't know math and yet these puns are hurting me
<GMH> That's a very clear sine of their power.
<Fiora> Don't go off on a tangent!
<Juan> You seem to be going in a tan...seriously
<Fiora> I liked the angle we had going there.
<zeroplusalpha> I would choose to not remain in this locus.
<Juan> It was quite acute angle, indeed
<GMH> You're just being obtuse.
<GMH> These puns are the right way to do things.
<Fiora> I'm not sure it's a real good idea; they can get pretty complex!
<Fiora> But I guess my fears might be imaginary.
<zeroplusalpha> You never know, the inverse might be true: they could be friendly.
<GMH> On secant thought, they might not.
<FlyingChaucer> You guys are in-sine
<zeroplusalpha> Opinion is divided on that.
<GMH> Our irrationality seems to be driving some people away.
<Fiora> Maybe the puns would be better if they were more natural?
<Fiora> Some of them are too negative.
<FlyingChaucer> at least we're real :V
<GMH> They're just adding to my amusement.
<zeroplusalpha> This is becoming exponentially sillier.
<Fiora> I think we should log some of these for later review.
<Fiora> I mean, it's only natural.
<Fiora> Then, I can eeeeeeee~ over them later!
<GMH> That's not a common idea at all.
<FlyingChaucer> that was a well-calculated move
<Fiora> It is the base of the idea, after all!

<zeroplusalpha> Does anybody know anything about digging? <-- Yes, every time you think you've hit bottom, somebody throws you another shovel.

<Foombazzle> Oh yeah. I need to leave the flat and go downstairs to grab another bag to refill my bucket too.
* Foombazzle wonders if theres an online service for it
<Foombazzle> Like I should be able to get an internet-connected bucket that will initiate a delivery automatically
<Charlatan> Would you like your bucket delivered by UAV
<Foombazzle> I think it would need to be. We're talking 10kg of rice, so the average drone wouldn't cut the mustard.
<zeroplusalpha> 10kg???
<Foombazzle> yeah, I grab a sackful at a time, which is why Im always so surprised when I run out. My calculations are always based on the approximation of "ok. This should last till I reach retirement age"
<Charlatan> I'm now imagining a very unusual game of Call of Duty.
<Charlatan> "CARE PACKAGE IS INBOUND! *giant crate of rice flattens Foombazzle*"
<Foombazzle> from the T&C: Customer's in high-rise apartmenrts are reminded to leave their windows open for half an hour either side of the scheduled delivery time. Precision delivery is automated and will occur regardless of window status.
<Foombazzle> Do not stand near windows during this time.
<Foombazzle> Any spillage after package deployment is responsibility of customer.

<zeroplusalpha> yes, but I think that's the joke. There aren't any "hyperbass flautists", so looking for a student is somewhat counterproductive.
<SpruceZeus> i read "flatulists"
<SpruceZeus> >_<
<zeroplusalpha> Hyperbass flatulists would be awesome. And not really sound all that different.
<Nitya> ._.
<KatawaSolstace> .____________.

<JuanCarlos> oooh ooh, I know! An estranged parent dies of cancer making the guy leave her place besides his lady and then he has to go to war!
<JuanCarlos> It'll be a bestseller~
<zeroplusalpha> I think that's already been written by that guy.
<JuanCarlos> :<
<zeroplusalpha> Or did you mean the dead estranged parent has to go to war, because now we're dealing with an /entirely/ different kind of story.
<cts> Gone with the Dead

<JBridge> Testing video games is a lot like doing porn.
<JBridge> Both jobs take something you'd normally enjoy doing, but you have to do it how and when your bosses want.
<JBridge> And you have to do it all the time, which is probably the biggest reason why both jobs are shit.
<zeroplusalpha> Testing video games is worse because the build isn't even complete yet, most of the time.

<Alkthash> Yen notes danmaku?
<Alkthash> Somebody make that fangame.
<zeroplusalpha> I believe that's called "investment banking."

<zeroplusalpha> True Story: A friend of mine who became a hippie, had some the Chinese word for prosperity on his door.  Except it was upside down...which is actually a thing, as "upside down" is a homophone for "arrive".  So I asked him where he learned about hanging auspcisious words upside down, to which he replied "It's upside down?" >_<

<IllFlower> Good morning, zeroplusalpha. How's the marketing copy treating you? ;)
<zeroplusalpha> OK, that's scary, you remembered something I said buried under a discussion about indie computer games from yesterday.
<IllFlower> If you pretend I'm a computer like everyone else does, it becomes slightly less scary.
<zeroplusalpha> Uh, I *did* pretend. Now I'm not so sure it's necessary to.
<JuanCarlos> So you mean to say that a sentient computer is not scary at all

<zeroplusalpha> It's really much better than it sounds.  It's difficult to describe how intensely sympathetic a supernatural megalomaniac transvestite with gamebreaking martial arts sorcery makes you feel towards her by the end, you'll just have to take my word for it.
