IRC logs for #openttd on OFTC at 2026-10-23
⏴ go to previous day
00:03:38 <belajalilija> cool ive learned more about my region
00:05:18 *** bryjen has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
00:06:13 <belajalilija> boring arse no halloween having southerners
00:08:54 <audigex> Yeah it was Turnips in Cumbria too
00:08:54 <audigex> Used to be called Mischief Night, that's what all the older folk used to call it when I was young
00:08:54 <audigex> It got exported to America, then came back in a slightly different form
00:09:13 <belajalilija> my mam also thinks its been a thing "since granddad's time", he was born in 1945
00:09:31 <audigex> Decorating is newer though, I don't remember much of that as a kid
00:09:31 <audigex> I think decorating is a good idea though - kids now tend not to knock on doors that don't decorate, which makes it more of an opt-in event rather than eg in the 90s we knocked on every door
00:09:42 <belajalilija> audigex: mischief night is something else here
00:10:01 <belajalilija> i think its the night before halloween
00:10:03 <audigex> belajalilija: Definitely before that in Cumbria. Guy I knew was born in 1918 (a week after WW1 ended) and the way he talked about it, it had been going on well before that
00:10:57 <audigex> belajalilija: You sure? Halloween is itself a contraction of All Hallows Eve, the night before All Hallows Day (All Saints Day)
00:12:20 <belajalilija> i knew it was the night before something
00:13:19 *** MinchinWeb[m] has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
00:14:00 *** MinchinWeb[m] has joined #openttd
00:18:01 <belajalilija> "hey this openttd game is really cool, let's strip it of all its magic and charm"
00:19:30 <cu-kai> sounds like AI slop to me
00:19:54 <squirejames> audigex: "It got exported to America, then came back in a slightly different form"
00:19:54 <squirejames> Same happened to me
00:20:19 <belajalilija> cu-kai: always has been
00:24:28 <belajalilija> i like this shit much more now i know its something of ours
00:24:32 <belajalilija> and not some crappy english thing
00:26:56 <belajalilija> im actually proud of it
00:27:15 <belajalilija> being complete fucking bastards is kinda our thing
00:36:21 <belajalilija> it looks like some cursed AI image
00:36:41 <belajalilija> nope, just northern england in the 50s
00:40:06 <peter1138> An early rejected draft of Pulp Fiction

03:49:25 *** bigyihsuan has joined #openttd
03:49:25 <bigyihsuan> belajalilija: at this point someone in this image is probably someone's grandparent
03:51:52 <belajalilija> bigyihsuan: or great grandparent
03:52:56 <belajalilija> great great grandparents even
03:53:08 <belajalilija> given they'd be in their 80s now
03:54:14 *** Philemon has joined #openttd
03:57:35 *** Phileman has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
03:57:35 <belajalilija> ngl it feels really weird for me to not have kids yet since im nearly 30
03:58:13 <belajalilija> and if i do have kids with the person i will most likely have them with they'll only have 1 grandparent
03:58:34 <belajalilija> which is even weirder for me because i had all 4 grandparents plus 2 great grandparents

08:46:52 <_zephyris> belajalilija: Got this planned for halloween with my nephews... some things never change
08:50:57 <_zephyris> Might make my own kids suffer through real apple bobbing in a bucket of water...

11:35:29 <peter1138> Cool, so far everyone's ignored it.
11:39:12 <audigex> belajalilija: 30s is more common for having kids now than 20s
11:39:12 <audigex> I’m mid-late 30s and most of my friends have 1-3 year olds
11:41:07 <belajalilija> audigex: Ehhh, it feels weird
11:41:23 <belajalilija> I should have a 5-8 year old by now
11:42:10 <peter1138> Missed the boat, you're firing duds now. Might as well follow the path and order the coder-socks.
11:45:55 <belajalilija> Yes thats the other thing i battle with in my mind
11:47:20 *** __abigail has joined #openttd
11:47:20 <__abigail> It's okay, I have some frozen, you can make Abby Juniors
11:49:34 <belajalilija> Fresh, not frozen
12:01:26 <will_marshall_> reading peter's message was like a language processing center flashbang
12:02:32 <kaibaneddy> Aren't they always
12:03:01 <will_marshall_> no sometimes they make me feel extremely stupid
12:03:05 <will_marshall_> it's a mixed bag
12:08:04 <peter1138> Uh oh, what've I done...
12:09:42 *** toktik is now known as Guest3664
12:09:43 *** Guest3664 has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
12:11:26 <reldred> actually got to try wendys the other day
12:26:39 <reldred> Yes I did very little today
12:27:01 <reldred> but I picked up my phone when it rang and I did my timesheets so nobody can complain too much
12:27:23 <peter1138> Hmm... when does the beer-quota reset?
12:27:52 <reldred> its the same as 'tomorrow' even if you went to bed at 3am
12:30:30 <peter1138> I was thinking weekly :)
12:42:47 <andythenorth> can't figure out how it will be received if I add [GenAI] to FIRS and Horse forum thread titles
12:42:57 <andythenorth> on the one hand responsible disclosure
12:43:07 <andythenorth> on the other hand, might look like pot stirring
12:43:39 <andythenorth> also trying to represent that on a robot scale of 0-5, they're about a 2
12:44:00 <peter1138> There's currently no policy requiring it.
12:44:26 <peter1138> But apart from one post, all the rest was added by me as an experiment.
12:45:04 <peter1138> (One poster did it voluntarily)
12:45:31 <andythenorth> Scoville Scale, but for robots
13:05:20 *** jfs_ has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
14:01:59 <peter1138> Silly C#, not supporting `class A<T> : T`
14:18:42 <peter1138[d]> The workaround is composition, which would require a ton of code changes, so... no :)
14:41:15 <peter1138> `class A<T> : T where T : A<T>` is different and not what I wanted.

15:34:12 <LordAro> peter1138: do i want an ex-hire Scott Addict?
15:36:13 <andythenorth> sounds like you know that you do? 🙂
15:36:59 <belajalilija> reldred: Yeah they’re good for fast food
15:40:11 <peter1138> Depends if it's marked, or components worn, etc.
15:59:44 <andythenorth> collect in mallorca 👀
17:19:05 <_zephyris> Hoping to do a monospace Hebrew for the next release, and it's a pain to have parallel PRs with all the binary file conflicts
17:25:53 *** gelignite has joined #openttd
17:28:26 <LordAro> always happy for a yolo approve
17:28:31 <LordAro> makes me look active on github
17:37:35 <peter1138> Thank you for your contribution.
17:39:50 <LordAro> (this only applies when i a) trust the person to be able to fix it quickly in the case that it's broken, or b) trust the person to have actually tested the change)

19:40:53 <andythenorth> now digging through old .swf files from my former job
