devyn: re: taking sand … dig it all out, place cobblestone, layer a single layer of sand back over the top.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
devyn: undermining! :D

joelteon: best fuel is lava.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
joelteon: but lava is non-renewable. be wary.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
joelteon: There's a fuckton, but if you're on a server, or planning for the long-run … it's completely possible to exhaust the lava-supply directly underneath you. *shrug*

<ELLIOTTCABLE>
a lava-bucket minecart-chest-train is totes a good thing to have.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
every time you go Downstairs™, grab a couple empty buckets from the train, throw them back in, and send it back up
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
so that you've always got half a dozen or so full lava-buckets for intensive smelting jobs.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
joelteon: gold pickaxes also *enchant* better than diamond ones. They just have fucking *no* durability. They die quickly.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
joelteon: gold pickaxes are great for trying to get, like, Fortune III or something. Because then you only USE it on every thousandth block, that is, blocks which ctually benefit from Fortune.

Hi
<purr>
ELLIOTTCABLE: hi!
<Nuck>
If I may make a suggestion, I think purr needs to markov chain based on the -wat
<cuttlebone>
hi ELLIOTTCABLE
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
o7
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
Nuck: implement it.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
cuttlebone: hi
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
writing tests for Paws.js
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
specifically, I'm still working on the damn types
<cuttlebone>
oh cool
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
most boring part ;_;
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
but at least EVERYTHING I've done
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
is heavily test-exercised …
<joelteon>
god damn iiiiit
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
and works in both nodes (including old ones), and every browser ever way back into the past
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
ugh. what an ugly mast
<joelteon>
i've found
<joelteon>
3 veins of lapis
<joelteon>
1 of gold
<joelteon>
3 of emerald
<joelteon>
and about a billion of redstone
<joelteon>
and still no diamond
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
are you on my server?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
you should play with me on the server. (=
<joelteon>
no
<joelteon>
yea
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
cuttlebone: you suggested Don't Starve, right?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
joelteon: I'll log on if you're of a mind to (=
<cuttlebone>
ELLIOTTCABLE: i don't think so. found out yesterday that i've owned it since humble bundle v, so i'm about to play it, and i've liked the creator's other work
<cuttlebone>
but haven't played
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
it's truly excellent.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
in some ways, it's what Minecraft should have been.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
or, to rephrase,
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
it's all the parts of Minecraft *I* cared bout, without any of the parts everybody *else* cared about.
<cuttlebone>
sounds like it's the parts of minecraft i cared about too
<cuttlebone>
now that you say that
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
no turing-complete redstone circuits or huge faked Lego constructions,
<cuttlebone>
fuck now i want to play don't starve
<cuttlebone>
yeah what i like about minecraft is
<cuttlebone>
the first few nights huddling in a cave
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
but a *much* more excellent survival / material-advancement mechanic
<cuttlebone>
slowly becoming less terrified
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
yeahhhhhhh
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
yeahhhhh
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
well you never stop being terrified in Don't Starve
<cuttlebone>
fuck dude i'm gonna love don't starve
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
it's fucking VISCIOUSLY difficult
<cuttlebone>
i'm literally making a game intended to achieve the same thing
<cuttlebone>
probably told you about it
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
nope, but you know me, I also don't care
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
games don't interest me, except as an end consumer
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
telling me about a game-dev is like telling my designer girlfriend about testing-frameworks.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
M83 up in mah headphones, right now.
<cuttlebone>
aw ok
<cuttlebone>
:c
<cuttlebone>
well once you see the graphics my friend is making you will be interested as a consumer
<cuttlebone>
because they are way good
<cuttlebone>
:o
* ELLIOTTCABLE
laughs
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
screenshot!
<cuttlebone>
sorry don't have working game yet
<cuttlebone>
and the graphics are on his computer
<cuttlebone>
actually I have some dropbox
<cuttlebone>
there are some fucking sweet creatures and ground/wall/ceiling stuff
<cuttlebone>
for the ave
<cuttlebone>
cave*
<cuttlebone>
but right now all I have is the character
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
MY GIRLFRIEND WON'T STOP iMESSAGING ME GIFS OF PUPPIES
<cuttlebone>
but trust me there is an inside-out bat
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
but whatever. I'm lazy, and bad at life, and am better at stagnating, than making significant change to make myself happy.
<cuttlebone>
aw

nods

<cuttlebone>
i like that
<cuttlebone>
shrug picture
<cuttlebone>
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
She's moving, soon, I believe. Big stuff happened/happening with her, and I'm pretty sure she'll be moving out of Chicago within the coming year. Whatever we are until then, we are. I feel it's unlikely that we'll be together after that.
<cuttlebone>
:(
<cuttlebone>
¯\_(ºL_º)_/¯
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
wat
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
oh, nose
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
okay. back to test-writing with me.
<cuttlebone>
g'luck test writing
<cuttlebone>
i gotta finish math and physics homewrok
<cuttlebone>
and slep
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I would kill monkey-pupae for a JavaScript mutation-testing tool.
<purr>
<sephr> ok so the board is now forcing you to op me Deamonboy
<purr>
<alexgordon> why, we lispers spend half as much time writing code as normal programmers, leaving the other half of our time for writing smug essays!
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
is this a british thing? so confused
<alexgordon>
ELLIOTTCABLE: yeah
<alexgordon>
well
<alexgordon>
the show is british, the show in the show is american I assume
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
wat.
<alexgordon>
ELLIOTTCABLE: ok code me up
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
see, as a british person, you're missing a solid 50% of the humour here, for the rest of us
<alexgordon>
ELLIOTTCABLE: the guy fucking wears CLOCKS
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
the british faggots being faggotishly british are of the same class as the black-rapper-people being black-rapperish.
<alexgordon>
also
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
lookit the dude's hair.
<alexgordon>
which dude
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
exactly.
<alexgordon>
jimmy carr?
<alexgordon>
jimmy carr is awesome
* ELLIOTTCABLE
sniggers
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I have no idea which ridiculously british person with ridiculously british hair you're speaking of there, but to put it succinctly … it doesn't fuckin' matter.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
'cause seriously. It's british people, making fun of black people.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
quite possibly the best entertainment conceivable.
<alexgordon>
xD
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
okay, I'm done making fun of your people. ('
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I've been busy. You just logged in, but check my GitHub activity for the day.
<alexgordon>
mmmm
<alexgordon>
SPEC
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
nope
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
CODE
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
spec soon
<alexgordon>
SPEC
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
but I NEED a working implementation again
<alexgordon>
NO CODE WITHOUT SPEC
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
µPaws.js is fundamentally broken
<alexgordon>
JAVA IS LIKE A GOOD SANDWICH
<alexgordon>
VECTORS ARE SLUTS
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
so I'm porting it to friendly code, and *then* we can throw that all away by completing the spec
<alexgordon>
MY COCK IS A PERFECT RHOMBUS
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
play Don't Starve, or port the advancement algorithm?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
Holy crap, I wrote my own testing framework for µpaws and tested a quarter of the damn thing
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
and I haven't the faintest recollection of ever having done so
