You want to see what my brother's stats were before he stopped playing?

http://wotlabs.net/na/player/forcestormx

He was in the top 1%

By stats, he probably still is

And here are my stats before I stopped playing http://wotlabs.net/na/player/revan_the_revanchist

My "Recent" stats were helped by the fact that I was playing in more platoons with my brother and players of his tier

Yeah. You know (knew?) ForcestormX?

Oh yeah. I lurked on that from time to time too.

Didn't that outgrow the forum post limit something like 3 times?

Hmm, it's slowed down

Only 23k? You guys are slacking off.

I'll ask ForcestormX to lean on The Chieftain's shoulder to get you guys to post more 😛

lol

Unfortunately, yes

ForcestormX was in on it

I think my brother even went and got one of the WoT mods that replaced the crew voices with MLP clips

Well, neither does (did) Top Gear, but there was a Top Gear voiceover pack as well

I tried it for a while, but I was dissatisfied with the clip choices

@Timcast If you haven't already started researching it, you may want to cover the Spectre and Meltdown issues with processors

I think that's been his avatar for years now

@Kori Tainaka lol @ timfoil

It's nice to have a somewhat-centrist server

Well, there goes the server. /leaves

Am I the only one who finds it weird how wide the slashes here in Discord are?

they're at least 1.3 times as wide as I think they should be

I think it might just be the font that Discord uses

I don't know if there's a way to customize that

I just looked in my profile settings and I don't see anything that looks like it

Well, funny is subjective

You show up in mine

or at least, you did a moment ago

and again now

that's weird

Maybe your connection to the server Tim has selected isn't that good

/shrugs

_shrugs_

ah, right

I forgot Discord has /me

┬─┬ ノ( ゜-゜ノ)

Needed to unflip the table that @Jihadtangle flipped. Can't have disorder in the newsroom

Yeah, but I disabled TTS on my profile

I've disabled TTS on my own Discord server as well

It's just my personal server for me and my friends. We use it for D&D mainly

I've got it set up for when (if) we get a larger userbase as well, but there aren't many people on it yet

@AC says sub to PewDiePie Not yet. I think the admins and/or Tim need to decide on them

My server has 8 members, a fake test member that I registered to figure out permissions with, and a bot

@AC says sub to PewDiePie Yeah, but I don't use it as an alt or a sock

I use it purely to test permissions for roles

Well, it's been open for a little over a day now

@AC says sub to PewDiePie I think the typical definition of an "alt" is a profile that most people don't know to link to you so that you can say controversial things and people won't get angry with you in particular

https://discord.gg/2WprP6

Just under 200 members

It's much easier to create an instant invite and then just post it in the chat than to wonder at how many members there are

And now there would be 197 total members

I am, apparently

:/ I could have sworn those messages only pop up when someone first joins

I don't remember where to look on my own server for the setting

@GingaBomber Hard to say. I would be surprised if it more than doubles the current population, but I could be wrong. Tim does have quite a few Twitter followers.

I don't know if Tim plans to put out an invite link on Twitter, but I personally think that we probably need more moderators or a lobby channel and roles to delegate access to other channels before that happens, because anything posted on Twitter will be rife for brigading/raiding/trolling/etc.

I think most people's thought process on that was "Even if Donald represents the elite, HRC definitely doesn't represent the people."

Both the Alt Right and the Far Left misclassify Tim as supporting the opposite extreme, so it's not very surprising he made that list.

@Timcast inb4 Harbinger "ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL"

Star Trek 5 was the last good ST movie

To be fair, they're rebuilding the Extended Universe piecemeal

Timothy Zahn wrote "Thrawn" for Disney since they bought SW

That's because Zahn is the only one who can properly write Thrawn

@GingaBomber Not retconned. They completely invalidated the old EU

Anything written for the EU prior to Disney's acquisition is non-canon

Well, if Disney let Zahn recreate Thrawn in the new EU, he'll probably push for Mara Jade, Talon Karrde, etc. as well

Now, after where Episode VIII went, I'm not sure they'll let him do Mara Jade, but the rest are still doable

and Mara Jade could still be in the series

Yeah, Allegiance

I own all the Zahn books

It's a short story, I have an edition of one of his other books (Outbound Flight maybe? can't remember) that has it

@GingaBomber Let's see... short is "about one standard Timothy Zahn chapter" or slightly longer

@GingaBomber And if I recall correctly, Allegiance is the book where they all server under Thrawn in the end, discounting the new Thrawn book written for the new EU

It's been a few years since I last read any of the old-EU books he wrote, I should re-read them

I have yet to find a Timothy Zahn book I didn't like, even outside the SW EU books

@SmallPrice You can always start it back up

After what they pulled in VIII I'm glad they didn't

They wouldn't have done Heir to the Empire justice

@Grenade123 Did you watch Troy Leavitt's video on that?

@Madoc Valanor I think it's Yuuzan Vong

@SmallPrice I don't think so, because it's well established in the original trilogy that Palpatine is "Not a Good Person ©"

Ergo, anything Palpatine would have done would be "the wrong thing to do"

Not that I'm aware of

Are we talking cosmetically or functionally?

Well, at least it's hard to confuse it with other medical centers

Hang on, I only got back from work about half an hour ago and I'm still catching up on news and stuff

Well, it was also designed to keep him alive

It had life support systems

it was minimal though

@pukeblood "nookyoolahr" (exaggerated) is actually an accepted pronunciation of "nuclear", according to the dictionary

I didn't say I thought it was right

@ping Nuclear reactors anywhere are very safe. The only major nuclear accidents in history were flukes or design flaws that have been fixed in newer plants

@ping The problem that caused Chernobyl was a design flaw that had already been fixed in reactors 10 years younger than it, and Fukushima's problem was the backup generators being flooded because the tsunami was larger than any recorded

I'm relatively sure the problem that caused Three Mile Island was also a design flaw that had already been fixed in newer plants

@Grenade123 > People are afraid of nuclear power because the EPA and the media tells them to be afraid of it despite not knowing shit about it.

The waste issue was fixed, but Carter (I think) outlawed Breeder reactors in the U.S. because at some point the fuel is weapons-grade
