Unprofessional Fridays: A Relaxed Friday Stream 04/23/21

Yes the Trash Pandas are real. It actually won a vote. The person that submitted that name gets free season tickets for some number of years. It’s dumb but looks cool on a shirt. It is a rocket since its Rocket City ( Huntsville,AL). Yes Alabama which also helps explain the name.

I live near Altoona and have been to a few Curve games! odd hearing them talk about it!

@iamhydrogen: hopefully they'll get to actually play a game this year. Covid cancelled their first season. The team merch is great though.

"A hotdog and chocolate milk does not sound good"

Oh, you've never been to Denmark.

Why would Jeff need two separate browser programs open? What could possibly require that and not two different Firefox windows?

Love it when Jason brings another smut game.

Anyone know who makes Jeffs spinner controller?

Minor League Baseball team names are one of the great American art forms.

Pour one out for the bygone Savannah Sand Gnats.

Elusive targets are one of my least favourite things in the new Hitman games. Time gated content that can only be played once just kills all the things that makes the series fun, for me.

@rocketraccooncmro: or better yet.. two Chrome windows

CLEAR THE LIVING

Jeff hates Chromeo, huh?

Lol I've been to several Biloxi Shuckers games with my entire extended family. It's a good time.

Also I just ordered a Rocket City Trash Pandas T-shirt.

Isn't new Edge based on chrome? Jeff will never escape.

@iamhydrogen: Huntsville's where all the NASA shit is, right?

@willeffinfarrel: Yeah some of it, mainly a history of rockets like the Saturn V.

Used to have a minor leagues team, the Stars and I don’t think anyone went. So they built a new stadium and are trying again for some reason.

@rocketraccooncmro: two instances of the same program (e.g. Outlook for Web)

Brad asking "where is his fake surrender?" LOL Would be funny if they walk you to the edge of the beach or something on this map.

Edge is where it is at!

34:35 The couple in the upper right was really having a good time there.

I guess it must be better for the gameplay, but I wonder why they say it violates causality to take something into the future.

@alternate: Somewhat. Mainly the open sourced Chromium, which is Chrome, but without all the Google shit that makes it super intrusive. In true Google fashion though, the stuff they add is pretty nice and makes you want to use their browser.

Also Alex's displeasure with Edge, I wonder if that's the old or new Edge. Honestly, the old Edge and IE were on the same page for me, garbage browsers. But the new Edge, damn it's actually nice. But it's because they piggybacked off a proven browser already, so you can't really fail.

@alternate: Yes, Edge is now a Chromium based browser.

@brad L3 should switch your shoulder view in hitman 3.

Judith Collins in hitman 3?

Now I want a "Day at the ballpark with Giant Bomb" video where the crew goes to a minor league baseball game.

@alternate: Yea

So, I've missed a few of these Friday Streams for a while, so maybe this isn't new, but why is the gameplay window so small?!

I get it that they want to keep the webcams showing, but all of the webcams combined almost take more screen real estate than the game. It's easier to see the face of the person playing the game than the actual game they're playing...

Altoona is about half an hour away from me. It was bizarre to see it in the title and to hear the crew talk about it. I even went to a handful of Curve games myself!

We really need a Playdate with Vinny playing People Playground

He must need two seperate logins with the same service at the same time. A single set of cookies is shared with all tabs and windows of any browser at a given time. No matter how many seperate windows you use, the moment you send a request to a server that you've already set a login-link with using cookies, it will instantly recognise that login. You can get around this with private/incognito windows but than you cause a huge hassle of having to manage functionality problems. It's significantly easier to just have two browsers.

Boooo restarting that Hitman mission :(

That's some thumbnail!

@jeff use profiles for multi browser instances: firefox.exe -p

Portal Reloaded looks cool. I'm a fan of using streams like this to check out mods and oddities

Went to college in Altoona. (Live 2 hours away) Curve games were always a good time!

@humanity said:

This is the correct answer.

I'm FROM Altoona, this game makes it look quite a bit more glamourous than it does in reality.

Don't tell Jeff, Edge is made of Chrome(ium)

the complete lack of understanding of Hitman's basic mechanics after three games and hours of video footage has to be a work

@rocketraccooncmro: I sometimes run into problems where some parts of websites only function in chromium browsers! giantbomb too for that matter- I can't upload a new picture in Firefox, only in Chromium Browsers

Edge has been my primary browser for about year now and it's actually really good.
