Post What's on Your Mind

Turns out one of my staff uses RPG Maker which could lead to some awkward moments when he inevitable finds HBGames;

Pretty sure 90% of RPG Maker users don't venture any further than the Steam communities and exist in their own bubble.

Happy belated bday you fuckin nukehead

Thanks. That's the nicest thing I've read all day.

I went to the gun shop/range today. I purchased two 1911 pistols, one gold 357 desert eagle, and modified AK-74. I have wait a week before I can pick up my guns. 'Merica.

I currently own an FN-P90 and a military grade P-90. It's similar to the SS P-90. Deep web for the win. All types of illegal shit. Military grade.

They say September has the most birthdays. But I think I know more people born in October.

It'd be interesting to sort the hbgames member list to see which month has the most birthdays.

Edit: Also isn't interesting to see holidays on this chart. Like Valentines Day has a lot of births. But the 4th of July and Christmas have fewer.

Edit2: Also looks like that 20/80 rule. Like ~20% of the months have ~80% of the births.

I can probs give you that data anonymously.

I was actually thinking this when I woke up today! Had 3 Facebook notifications of different birthdays happening today, so I was wondering if October is when most people have birthdays.

I also heard that it is September due to new years holidays being a great time to bang, but I only know a handful of September people, I seem to have far more October Facebook contacts than any other month.

The holidays lacking births is very interesting. Must be a psychological reason behind that, given that valentine's day has an increase in births.

I was born in september. 3rd to be exact. in 1989 to be precise.

Flamethrowers are legal where I live. Police won't even bother you if you use one. Funny how it's illegal for the military, but legal for civilians. 'Merica.

OK coyote, so this spreadsheet contains all the birthdays of everyone on HBGames who defined one, with nonsense ones removed. 3835 birthdays, hope that's useful.

So we did a competition to see who can get the most positive feedback at work, out of 150 staff. And I was the only one to get positive feedback. So I won. But my sister is my manager so basically I had to watch her buy the mystery prize and pretend I didn't know;

What do you know? October has the most HBGames birthdays.
The birthdays are more evenly distributed than I thought. I'd like to put the dates onto a calendar heat map like that other image, but it's kinda of a pain. I looked online for a easy template I could just plug the dates into. But I think my spreadsheet software is too old and probably corrupted. I keep getting error messages when it's opening files.

HBGames Birthday Calendar Heat Map

It seems accurate.
No birthdays on feb 30 or 31. And I expected Jan 1st to have a high number for people who were just entering the first date that shows up and not answering truthfully.

Oh yeah I was working on a game wasn't I;

I won A BOX OF POUNDLAND MILK TRAY

Go me.

 

[Xilef]

Wow what a prize.

 

[Nathaniel3W]

Milk tray. I don't think I've ever heard that phrase before. That's a box of chocolates, right? Is milk tray a specific kind of chocolate?

It would be fun now to see if any of those days are outside one standard deviation, and try to figure out why. Of course, looking at the data first and then hypothesizing is cheating, isn't it?

 

[Juan J. Sánchez]

I missed you guys.

 

[bacon]

Heyyo

 

[Ellie]

Milk Tray is a Cadbury's brand. Basically just a box of milk chocolates. You normally get a big tray, maybe two, but from Poundland you get seven whole chocolates spread out amongst the box. (Poundland being like a Dollar store)

@Juan :cheers:

I'm still pissed photobucket phucked me over. 7 months of plans ruined. Now I'll be forced to post my story in IRC format, or like a script. I can deal with it, but expressing my imagination is limited.

Lyra: I've had enough of this silly ass planet.
*raises right hand into the air*

Isabel: No, Empress Lyra!

Lyra: ....

Isabel: You need to relax. How about a bubble bath? I'll cook dinner for you too.

Lyra: *smiles*
That actually sounds nice. You just saved 8 billion people. You do know we're the villains, right?

Isabel: Yeah, but we don't have to be evil all the time. Let's go home.
