Is steam acting slow? Can't even load the challenges page
 
@StevenJeuris yes, it's borked.
 
@StevenJeuris When is Steam not acting slow?
 
@StevenJeuris Yes, very much so.
 
@agent86 Hey, give me back my word.
 
@GnomeSlice Did he bork your word?
 
10:01 PM
oh well ... love the adventure pack offer from today
just bought it
 
I've never met anyone else who says 'borked' before...
=[
 
@GnomeSlice I'll bork you here in a second.
 
@Gnome I say it all the time, not as much as my brother though.
 
@RavenDreamer I may do the same as she's one of the few I do own
 
10:02 PM
@GnomeSlice I do too...
 
@GnomeSlice bork bork bork.
 
the word's been hacker jargon since before you were born
 
Wizorb on Gamersgate? Yes please.
Although... I'd rather play it on xbox 360.

from the senate hearings on a certain Mr. Bork who was thoroughly put through the ringer, thus "Borked"
 
10:06 PM
@LessPopMoreFizz in light of keyboard drumset fucking werewolf, I bring you:
HAWAII WEREWOLF
 
then the Japan version (Kawaii Werewolf)?
 
@RonanForman Do you want the transition on the end, or will you do that later? I was just thinking a straight fade for this one.
 
If it's just a fade leave it off, it's easier to make fades in premier anyway.
 
How's 12 seconds?
10?
 
Sounds okay. Are there any still frames before everything is on screen?
 
10:13 PM
Define 'everything'?
But no, this one starts almost immediately.
The effects aren't as good, but as a splash screen it's much better than the other one.
 
What about in the middle, and by everything i mean the main elements such as large pictures and text.
People don't want to see fancy effects, they want things that look nice.
 
just show us what you got ;) (you can do that unlisted, right?)
 
@alexanderpas Yeah, but It's very nearly done.
Can you guys just trust me.
 
@GnomeSlice never
 
@GnomeSlice Why on earth would we ever trust you?
So
 
10:20 PM
@GnomeSlice it's not that we don't trust you, it's that we just like to see(!) what's going on :D
 
My professor sent out an e-mail last week saying we had all of our marks ready and what not
still haven't been uploaded
hilow @AshleyNunn. hoW r u?
 
user15026
@Wipqozn I was good. Then you showed up. ;)
 
user15026
Or, rather, I showed up where you were.
 
I just noticed that alexanderpas' name gets cut off to be "alexanderp" by the chatroom. This amuses me.
 
@AshleyNunn ah dang, you caught your mistake before I could point it out.
 
10:21 PM
@Mana Negative.
Your resolution's bad and you should feel bad.
 
user15026
@Wipqozn I am slowly learning to pay attention to these things ;)
 
oh it's because I'm zoomed out. Damn.

Q: Do Friend-Or-Foe Missiles target neutrals or npcs?

Mark RogersIf I fire a bunch of Friend-or-Foe missiles when I'm leaving a station will they target npcs and neutrals, or only available hostiles? If there are no valid targets, what happens with the missile? Will it go after an NPC station or jump-gate?

 
@Mana get a bigger screen ;) also, it is nice since my real name is Alexander Pas, which indeed is Alexander P.)
 
@alexanderpas Agreed. It shows up just fine for me.
 
10:23 PM
@alexanderpas :(
 
Oh you'd like that @alexanderp wouldn't you…
 
@Mana It shows up right on my smallest screen too.
 
@ArdaXi Yes, it was because I was zoomed out, not because my resolution is small.
 
You're smalll.
 
@ArdaXi That's what SHE said!
 
10:25 PM
@Wipqozn clap... clap... clap... groan
 
@Wipqozn wait, @ArdaXi has a girlfriend?
 
@alexanderpas OH SNAP! HAH
 
@alexanderpas Was I to be informed of this fact?
 
hand waving finger snapping thing
2
 
@Mana you forgot the head shake.
 
10:26 PM
@ArdaXi it's your girlfriend....
 
@RonanForman It's not really a shake...it's more like moving your head like a chicken, but to the side.
A bob, I guess.
 
Crab chickens!
 
10:40 PM
@AshleyNunn, your gravatar is available on meta, if you haven't noticed.
 
user15026
@agent86 I just switched to it now, so eventually it should appear. :D

Q: Would you liketh a user icon in the style of my hat designs?

Sean GallagherIn the spirit of the season, I grant-eth ye one wish-eth! If any of our users think it would be cool, I'll do 10 user illustrations in the style of the Hats illustrated for the gaming site. First 10 people to claim it in comments get it! You can choose to either have your existing gravtar icon...

 
@John I haven't tried it yet. If it doesn't work... eh, it's $2.
Anyway, the Capture the Wool Splash Screen is rendering now.
@AshleyNunn Is ignoring me on Steam.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice grumpyface Am not!
 
user15026
At least, not intentionally.
 
10:42 PM
@AshleyNunn add to friends list will solve that.
 
YOU SUCK.
 
user15026
MEANIE
 
I'm the victim here. :P
Is there no hat for a question with a score of 10+?
 
@GnomeSlice there is. sherlock hat I think?
 
user15026
Doesn't look like it.

Q: Why can't my unit attack within two hexes?

ValamasThis is my situation: I understand how terrain can slow movement, however, for the print screen below, I cannot work out why my elephant cannot attach the cavalry.

Q: How do I get into the locked bath at night?

CyberSkullSkyloft Academy's bath is locked at night as someone (not posting the spoiler here) is in there. I've been able to get in through the chimney to sneak into Zelda's room at night, but I notice I can't use my tools inside the academy. At any point is it possible to break into the locked bath?

 
Right, there is, the Sherlock one. Why don't I have it yet?
 
user15026
Oh, wait, yes, that's the Sherlock hat.
 
in fact, I just got it, yaaay
 
Gah, @AshleyNunn's Gravatar is different at different sizes.
Stupid cache.
 
did you ask a question after the event started that has since gotten 10 upvotes?
 
user15026
10:47 PM
@GnomeSlice That's special. XD

Q: Unable to Add Non-Steam Game to Library

GnomeSlice When I try to add Bionic Commando: Rearmed (purchased via GamersGate) to Steam, I get the following error message: No such interface supported What the heck does that mean? And is there a workaround? This may or may not be relevant, but the Gamersgate installer installed the game to t...

Yes.
Oh wait.
Dec 15...
Ballsack.
 
Err...
 
Hatdash started later than that, right?
 
@GnomeSlice 16th
 
WHERE'S MY BLOODY HAT THEN.
 
10:51 PM
@Gnome I got it working here. Killed into Hamachi yet? (You play MC so chances are you already have it, right?)
 
Also, this was pushed to the frontpage by 'Syntech Inc', but I can't see any new edits or answers:

Q: Frozen Synapse tournament

Wipqozn It appears we all need to be on the same game server. Please edit your meta post to include your game server so can do some testing and decide on a server. If this is true, the plan is to play on UK1 The Bracket is out. An update to the rules has been posted. Please see below. When: ...

 
@GnomeSlice Your question was asked before it stated.
 
@GnomeSlice Hmm. I think it's literally a bloody hat.
 
@GnomeSlice Probably deleted.
 
@John Hamachi? Never heard of it. Just saw your message, haven't looked at it yet.
 
10:52 PM
Oh ack. *looked into hamachi. Stupid autocorrect...
 
@Ullallulloo Oh, oops.
Goddammit.
 
@Ullallulloo Nay.

A: Frozen Synapse tournament

Synetech inc.What software was used to make the chart?

 
10:53 PM
@alexanderpas That's... an edit?
 
@ArdaXi I said probably.
 
Oh, nope.
 
Oops, that was meant to be sent to @GnomeSlice
 
@Margaret Thanks, but I have it, @GnimeSlice just needs to get it.
 
@John What is it?
 
10:53 PM
Oh, ok.
VPN program.
 
@GnomeSlice it's the revision history of a new answer ;)
 
Itll make it like were on a Lan
 
@John Installing.
Anyone who enjoyed Cave Story should check out Station 37.
@John What do I do with this?
Do you have a network for me to join?
He's a yearling... with 1 answer and no questions.
And that one answer was 3 hours ago.
 
Oh. Didn't realize they were different.
 
11:03 PM
@GnomeSlice you could've gotten a hint from the rep amount ;)
 
I suppose I should have.
 
@gnome I'll make one as soon as i get home or you can make one now.
 
@John I'll let you do it
 
11:15 PM
LOL!

Q: EEEEEK! What the Fruit is going on here?

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM AThis page looks all messed up and the title bar has a (Prod) on it

 
Good lord, it's not even halfway finished rendering yet.
 
@GnomeSlice that's going fast.
 
What aboot Canada?
 
@alexanderpas It's 11s long.
@John I don't get it.
Stupid particle effects.
 
Does anybody want a 25% off valve game coupon?
I own, literally, every valve game
oh, wait.. maybe i can save it for dota2
 
11:22 PM
@DaveMcClelland No game released after January 2nd counts.
 
@Ullallulloo Scumbag valve
Well, then I'll offer it up again. 25% off Valve game coupon for anybody who's interested
 
What games did Valve make.
 
Half life, tf2, portal
 
I'll pass.
 
Oh, l4d
 
11:24 PM
Hm... no, I'd rather get it for console.
That's the annoying thing about me being able to buy PC games online now.
I get such good deals on games I'd much rather play on xbox 360. =[
 
@DaveMcClelland How did you get this coupon ?
 
@Wipqozn I did one of the achievement things for the daily challenges
 
@GnomeSlice buy an (wired) xbox 360 controller, connect PC to TV. Problem Solved!
 
11:25 PM
@alexanderpas Yes, yes, but still. It's not quite the same.
I mean, every game for xbox will fill your screen no matter what resolution it is, it won't be running all kinds of other processes while you play, etc.
 
@GnomeSlice for some games, it's exactly the same (especially when steam enables big picture mode)
 
Also, any game made for xbox, you know will run well on your xbox.
@John What? You only gave me a password
 
Oh, I got a 25% off coupon as well. Nifty.
 
Also, how do I disconnect from this network, it's ruining my other network.
 
Anyone have any idea whether we will be able to go back and do previous days' goals later in the promo period for the Steam Christmas thing? I don't have time today, but I wouldn't mind achievement grinding later in the week...
 
11:30 PM
@Margaret I'm doubting that you could, but not sure.
 
@gnome GamingSE
 
@Margaret I actually expect them to do that, similar to summer camp.
 
It was possible with the Summer Sale thing, so I'm thinking it might be similar, but haven't noticed anything in the documentation one way or the other
 
@John That's not on-topic for this site.
@Margaret Oh, then yeah, you probably can.
 
I don't have the game installed or anything though.
Haven't looked at it yet.

Q: What is the optimal Tech I sub-capital ship and fit to defeat an Amarr Interceptor?

Mark RogersRecently, my two-person corp has been war-deced by a one man corp run by xManBearPiggx who often attacks with either of the Amarr Interceptors (or occasionally with a Catalyst). To my great shame he's been able to take out a couple of my cheap cargo frigates. So I've decided to hunt or ambush my...

Q: What files does Steam install?

qwerty42I was wondering what files Steam (the digital distribution platform) installs and where on a Windows (7) PC. Does it add anything that runs at start-up or add any files to important system folders?

 
BTW, you can now see which games you own in the great gift pile, if the server is friendly to you.
 
Suckers! I got a 33% off coupon!
 
@alexanderpas I still can't open my steam inventory.
 
@alexanderpas Where?
 
Would it be acceptable to have a post on meta giving away stuff from the sale?
 
11:34 PM
@Ullallulloo me neither :(
 
@Dave Yes!
 
@DaveMcClelland I don't see why not.
 
:D
 
All right, then, I'll get to it
 
@DaveMcClelland maybe a general question, and answers where everyone posts their stuff. (or someting else, just don't flood meta.)
 
11:35 PM
@John Now what?
 
@alexanderpas Yeah, I was going to post it as a thread for everyone to do giving away/trading, not just my own stuff.
 
@Gnome We play. As soon as I can get on a computer. Hopefully soon. Sorry, I live a very erratic life.
 
@John I'm not even sure I've done it right.
 
Do you see another computer on the network?
 
Anyone know whether extra copies of games in the Super Indie Bundle are giftable? I'm guessing "No", right?
(Deciding whether to buy just the individual games or the complete bundle)
 
11:40 PM
@Margaret I would say "Yes"
 
user20683
no
 
user20683
bundle games aren't giftable unless explicitly stated as such
 
user20683
it's in the Steam FAQ somewhere

11:42 PM
@Gnome Yup, that's it. Don't know if that's the one I'll be playing on, but that means a connection.
 
user15026
I love the idea of being able to get free things from the Steam Holiday sale, but the liklihood of me getting anythign is slim. :( I don't play the right games XD
 
And suddenly I realize I have entirely too much crap sitting in my steam inventory
