You're referring to "We Don't Go to Ravenholm", right? I played it many years ago, in my youth, and was so scared that I muted all game audio and looped Billy Joel's "Root Beer Rag" just to get through it. And even then, I was still scared silly.
Title: Re: Another Question Game
Post by: tessspoon on August 06, 2010, 02:45:04 PM
That sounds familiar, yeah. It's been several years now.
Title: Re: Another Question Game
Post by: kindofdoon on August 06, 2010, 02:57:03 PM
The fact that the first thing you see is a pair of severed legs swinging from a dimly lit tree sets the tone for the whole level. I only played through it because I knew that it was worth it for the sake of the game as a whole. And indeed it was. It's among my favorite games of all time. Some levels (Highway 17, Water Hazard) are just amazing, I think.

Cow kidney.
I don't know what possessed my mom to cook this, but she did. During and after said cooking the entire house smelled like urine. It was disgusting. Then she made me try it. Imagine a soft, slippery chunk of gray meat that reeks of urine. Now imagine putting it in your mouth.
I've never run to the bathroom so fast in my life.

A HELLO WORLD program is the simplest program to write. All it does is display "HELLO WORLD", and then ends. For example, in TI BASIC (what TI calculators use), it's just

QuoteDisp "HELLO WORLD"

Anyways.

No, the infestation does not bother me because I've never heard of it.

I'd say it's a tie with medieval era (Europe and the Orient... possibly the Americas as well (don't really know much about American aboriginal history myself)) and Ancient Greece + surrounding cultures.

The accusative is the case of the direct object (I hit the ball. Orbem futo. (Instead of: Orbis me futat. The ball hits me.) caveat lector: orbis is likely NOT the basic Latin word for "ball", but I am not going to look it up: those who know will have to suffer(or correct me at their leisure), those who don't will have to live in doubt.)

In order to answer Deloria's question, we would first have to cast "Haids" into a language which has an accusative (Latin, Greek, Russian, Romanian, Lithuanian, the list goes on and on) which would mean picking a declension, stem, etc., and then we must further cast it into the accusative case.

Taking Classical Greek, for example: "Haids" is clearly third declension though it needs a little work. "-ds" could be a zeta, but I find it more plausible that the stem is "Haid-". Dentals (t and d) are dropped when they meet the nominative ending -s, so Haid- + -s becomes "Hais" (h-eye-ss). Then, the accusative is "Haida" (heye-duh). We may now put "Hais" into any case we like as such:

NOM:Hais
GEN:Haidos
DAT:Haidi
ACC:Haida
VOC:Hai

En effet, your name follows the same declensional pattern as pais, paidos - child (which shows up as "ped-" in a great many English technical terms).

What movie do you secretly love but are embarrassed to admit it?  (Don't lie, you know you have one!)

Hrmm... I know I have some... numerous even... I can't think of any >:(  :-[ ...I know there were some girly-ish movies I used to like when I was younger that my brother et al. gave me a hard time over (and thus the usage of "used to")... let's just say that I secretly sometimes enjoy the feel-good Lifetime channel claptrap (dysfunctional family finding function or at least peace with its dysfunction, etc.) even though I think it's generally a load of bollocks.

So does mine. :( :( I mean, it clearly had to have happened before the colonies had even been established, otherwise a pidgin would have developed in what is now the US because the old colonists would be speaking whatever it is they were meant to be speaking in Blondie's make-believe world before English was German-based and the new colonists would presumably be speaking German and the German oppressors would had to have banned all English and that just isn't how life works. :P Consider, for instance, that all French dialects except for Parisian were banned for quite a long time in France, but that didn't get very far in practice. :P

But really, a war of less than ten years changing rudimentary grammatical elements like structure and word order and leaving traces of declension in a principally almost uninflected language, even though the aggressors never got to the mainland? :P It's just silly. :P

This is true. :P There were also places in which Norse dialects were spoken until quite late and Norn (which is similar to Faroese) was spoken in Shetland up until the 1850's, but I couldn't mention it because I had to rush off to be in time for my midterm. :P

I think it depends on the type of train.  European trains tend to use more fuel per person per mile than a turbo engine sports car.  I don't know much about the Japanese bullet trains, and I don't remember the type of fuel used for planes or how much in emissions that releases.  I guess I implied a premature comparison.  My bad.

I actually though the same thing!  :yes:  My sister came in when I was looking for pictures of Graduation Duck, and she was like, "Whaaaa...?"  I explained to her what I was doing, and she was all, "People do that on Facebook all the time." Hmmm.  I don't have Facebook, so I didn't know.  HOWEVER...yeah.  I'll make one right now! *Flutters off to the depths of the Asylum*

11. I had so many open that I had to pull them out into separate windows.


In Windows, when a program (Matlab for instance) tells me something that is obviously false, I close it and reopen it on the grounds that "maybe it just hasn't updated quite yet and will see it after I do this". What do I do in Linux where there's nothing to close?

What the... ... what do you mean "if you could cry"? I can only surmise 3 possibilities: 1) you are a robot, 2) your tearducts were destroyed in some terrible industrial accident! :o, or 3) it's some sort of misguided machismo "I'm a guy; guys don't cry" thing. ::)

Which language is more like Latin? Italian or Sardinian?
Title: Re: Another Question Game
Post by: Delling on September 16, 2011, 07:02:45 AM
Due to phonological shifts, neither is actually that close to Classical Latin any more. I would argue that the external influences on Sardinian have caused it to diverge from any Latin origins moreso than Italian. (Latin was seeded in Sardinia by conquest. The native Italic dialect, already heavily influenced by other geographically extant languages, was never fully supplanted by Latin; by contrast, Italian in part developed from Latin in situ (that is via dialectic decay as opposed to the usual combination of dialectic diffusion (cf. the Germanic languages) together with dialectic decay and the effects of language contact (cf. the Germanic and Celtic elements of French). While Italian is not immune to these effects, it's substratum is more purely Latinate than that of Sardinian.)

Will while loops ever make sense in my brain? They're kinda freaking me out when I have to work them out...
Title: Re: Another Question Game
Post by: Delling on February 27, 2012, 09:16:37 AM
I'd say roughly 95% of the time, a while-loop is used to replace a for-loop: so think of them as a for-loop.

A consequence of this means that we use while-loops when we don't know how many steps it would take our for-loop to reach the desired result but we can represent (mathematically) a condition that's true when we've reached the result--suddenly we have a reason to use a while-loop. This can lead to have loops in nested chains of for- AND while-loops.

Pretty much the only other time I can think of for using a while-loop is when we have a for-loop which we'd like to stop if something we don't or perhaps something we really, really want to happen happens: we can use the while-loop to exit instead of a break or return statement.


Why is everyone doing computing, eh?

Thanks for the overview. :) But they still scare me!  Not as badly as they formerly did, since my instructor is making us practice them like crazy, but they're not all too joyous to work out. Apparently when we took the midterm and had to to decision structures, hardly anyone got them and made them a lot more scary than they were supposed to be. Programming, man--it ain't easy!

Why didn't Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout's parents just take the garbage out themselves? She was willing to do everything else, which seems like a pretty good deal to me. :P

Regarding loops:
It's really easy to accidentally make Do loops and While loops that never exit. :wall: That doesn't happen with For loops unless you mess with the index variable (not recommended).

So, C and K generally developed in isolation from each other (then when Greek met Latin, they began a beautiful... something). Q is a more complicated story. In Greek, it was qoppa and was replaced with kappa (k, essentially). In Latin, it became attached to the labialized velar kw and survived there into later languages (in Spanish and French and I believe Portuguese but am not certain, the w-sound was lost so that qu and k became equivalent).

Basically, initially, there were various different symbols for the same sound. Their usage (on a language by language basis) may or may not have been regulated by position.

b) A great employee and have only had two jobs.
     So, of my two jobs, I've worked with elderly people and very young people. But I'd have to say that, even though I've been working with kids for almost five years as opposed to the ten months I spent as a nurse's aide, I preferred the job as a nurse's aide. I absolutely LOVED working one-on-one with my residents, and they taught me so much. I fell in love with them, so when they would pass away I took it hard. I had to leave because I couldn't handle it anymore!  :'(

Dawson, are you lactose intolerant or full allergic?  If the former, I'd recommend Lactaid or some other lactose enzyme pill.

I'm allergic.  I relied on soy milk and goat's milk when I was a newborn.  Recently, I started getting nasty reactions to dairy products, like panic attacks from cheese, Thousand Island dressing, and "Special Sauces" (which normally have MSG, so that reaction could be from either). But, I've always had cold-like effects from milk - runny nose, overproduction of mucous, etc.

The lactose intolerance issue was my sister's.

Since I <3 Disney (has a year pass to Disney World, be jealous) I really enjoy the game in the sense I got to learn alot about Oswald and the pre-Mickey era stuff. Plus, it has a kind of unique game play idea with the two different brushes.

What have you done recently that you're proud of?

Installed a 1000 lb hurricane proof french door. Yes, it actually weighs 1000 pounds.

Dang skippy! I have a whole assorted nut bar thing. But I don't actually "snack" on them. Every time I have yogurt, I add in minced walnuts, raisins and yogurt covered raisins.
I use cashews and pecans in my salads all the time, but usually I minced them (I.E. plastic baggy and hammer, I'm trying to patent it!) and sprinkle them over assorted pastas or sauces. But I really like pecans because they're so soft and if haven't had the privilege of having a good old fashion American Pecan log, you're missing out!

Okay, this is a loaded question: I've had to completely stop eating a lot of foods because my stupid stomach has a condition called gastroparesis and I can't digest much.  HOWEVER, if it were like "Dude, eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow I shall die!", I'd probably pig out on everything I've missed out on over the past four years: pepperoni pizza with sausage and bacon; every kind of Mexican food you can imagine; chicken nuggets; french fries with ranch dipping; a big ole fatty cheeseburger with onion rings on it...ohhhh man.  I miss eating.  To me now eating rich is having extra pepper on my cottage cheese. :P

Did you know that during the famine in Egypt during Jacob's time, the Hebrews sold themselves into slavery to pay for food?  :o (This was way before Moses' time.)

That's a bummer.  I get the whole "I can't eat a thing anymore!" issue.  I'm right there, too.

Actually, I did know that about the slavery.  Years later, when Moses came along, they got the Jubilee Year, which allowed them freedom - except in the cases where they really enjoyed servitude.  In that case, they had their (left?) ear pierced with an awl against a doorpost to show they were permanent slaves.

Why is it that all people know about Lolita is that it's apparently about child abuse? :P
Title: Re: Another Question Game
Post by: darthkiwi on April 24, 2012, 04:46:16 AM
Because nobody reads serious books any more? :P Okay, maybe a little harsh. But hearing "This is a book about child abuse!" will make most people remember the book as a child-abuse book, and will probably make them not read it. And if you had to summarise Lolita in as few words as possible, "child abuse" is easier than "a book about yearning for something intangible and transient which is doomed to disappear but which is the only thing which brings one joy, which is also morally questionable in most people's eyes, makes one question why one is doing any of this, causes deep trauma and hurt on both sides and leaves one dissociated and fragmented, questioning what the purpose of life was in the first place - plus all those issues of exploitation, Old Europe vs. New America, pop culture and monetary transactions, and let's not even get into that whole 'metaphors are stale and don't work in real life' thing, or the amazing literary game of cat and mouse he plays with the antagonist where there are so many intellectual clues and references it makes the Waste Land look old hat".

A couple of years ago, I rented a house from some friends that was INFESTED with roaches.  Imagine waking up at 2am because a roach crawled between your neck and the pillow!  Back then, I killed them where I found them.  I would be up at midnight doing some kind of Mexican hat dance on the patio, sometimes killing 20 in one session.  I had glue traps and Raid everywhere in the house.  By the time I moved out, that place was roach-free.  Since then, I've had a hard time even seeing roaches without it turning into some kind of nightmare that night.
