lazy dwarves. needing to sleep.

@FallenAngelEyes hmm...could it involve music or the upcoming moderator elections?
 
@Manaಠдಠ Actually I think it involved fishing
 
@FallenAngelEyes I know what it was
 
Or maybe Chantelise. You were talking about Chantelise when you were asking if I was around.
 
It involves a penguin' and you catching one in a fountain
 
3:02 PM
It was something in Chantelise but I can't remembeeeer agh
 
3 hours ago, by FallenAngelEyes
I... I just caught a penguin while fishing in a water fountain.
 
@Wipqozn I just traded a Dolomite Table for a Nanny Goat. The traders seemed to like that. I don't know why. Must have been a really nice table.
 
OH
I remember now
I was looking at your one question
2
Q: How do I find the treasure in the Silent Church section of Aquan Ruins(3-5)?

Mana ಠдಠUnder similar circumstances as my Lava Pool treasure hunt, I find myself poking and stabbing at random enemies and objects in Chantelise, hoping to uncover another hidden treasure. This time, however, I took the deep dive and bought myself a hint at the cost of my life force. It says that I h...

This one
And I noticed what you had as your hint under the spoiler is different from what was listed in my game
 
@RavenDreamer Well, it could have been a really nice table
 
@RavenDreamer Was it legendary? Did it menace with spikes of dwarf bone?
 
3:05 PM
@FallenAngelEyes hm, what's the hint listed for your game?
 
It was masterwork. It was also the only thing I had to trade.
 
It said "trickster," not "imposter"
 
Except sacks and sacks of prickleberry seeds, I suppose.
 
No gems?
 
That's a good point. I forgot I had gems. I have like 5 of them, in a single stockpile.
Somewhere...
 
3:06 PM
Anyway, building a obsidian factory (slowly and badly)
 
user30
gosh, I forgot how long the PS3 takes to update
 
More pressing is the water buffalo calf starting fights with its mother in the pasture.
 
user30
I haven't been on it since sonygate.
 
Note to self: Make sure alarm is set before going to bed Sunday night.
 
We've all been there, friend.
 
3:07 PM
Hmmm... I'm playing on a version that's old enough not to have pastures
 
@Manaಠдಠ "that trickster" even, so 2 words that are different
 
The good thing is I can keep an unlimited number of cows. The bad is that I don't really want an unlimited number of cows
 
Covert cows to biscuits. Problem solved.
 
OH COME ON.
 
@badp Problem?
 
3:11 PM
Commas, friend! Don't forget your commas!
 
I win this tourney fight... woohoo a winner is m---
"Now let's see you fight two!"
...I don't get to be repaired right? :(
fails
I try again, this time being a little more careful.
I defeat the first, start battling the others
They get pinned against the wall, I start bashing them
 
@badp - what's the topmost stickied star comment referring to?
 
I kill the second, one more to go, still pinned and defenseless.
I go for the finish and run right into the sword that belonged to the guy I just defeated
and that blow one-shots me.
:/
 
Ouch.
 
@RavenDreamer Anonymous users see "Was this answer helpful? Yes / No" buttons below answers. I guess there's a seekrit version of the Review page that tracks how often the anonnies click "yes"...
 
3:13 PM
@RavenDreamer You mean the upvote love?

Q: Who's the brown dinosaur in Braid?

Qiaochu YuanHope this isn't off-topic. At the end of each World, there's a brown dinosaur who tells you that the princess is in another castle. I get the Mario reference, but is the brown dinosaur a reference to something else or is it a character original to Braid?

 
When I got the Mermaid Shoes in Chantelise, I thought of @Arda
 
@Brant It's not sekkrit, it's gaming.stackexchange.com/review/…
 
Woah, that was creepy. I just sat down at my desk and heard the ping.
 
@Lazers Just a Mario reference I think
 
3:14 PM
Haha
 
@badp Well, it's not in the tabs at the top of the review page
 
@Brant ...it is for me.
 
@FallenAngelEyes @ArdaXi a mermaid?
creepy.
 
I only see first answers / low quality posts / first questions / late answers
 
"feedback" tab.
 
3:14 PM
@Lazers Clearly, it's NELIPOT.
 
I'm just confused that answers with, for example, 40 upvotes are showing up. Haven't people already given that answer the upvotes it deserves?
 
@Brant Well, there it is for your viewing pleasure
@RavenDreamer This morning the top answer with 19 likes had 2 upvotes
 
@Powerlord At least it isn't Barney?
 
That's the kind of stuff I was talking about
At 20 likes and 7 upvotes, I think that looks much better now.
 
It's been a while-- is Birdo still a cross-dressing monster with gender issues? Or has Nintendo put its foot down soundly on one side of the geneder line?
 
3:16 PM
@RavenDreamer They have. Give me a moment.
 
I think Birdo has officially been a "she" for a while now.
No explanation of the "using her own unhatched eggs as projectile weapons" thing, though.
At least we know why she's the last of her kind, or at least the only one we've ever seen.
 
@Brant That's strange, I remember seeing like 16 of them in Super Mario Bros. 2.
 
That's the other reason.
You killed them all.
You monster.
 
Clearly I didn't, because they keep showing up in Mario Kart and Tennis and stuff.
 
3:20 PM
Why are the statues moving?!
 
@Fallen It's "trickster" in my game as well
 
"As seen on Gay Gamer.net"..?
 
@RavenDreamer Hm?
 
user30
@ArdaXi What did you sell your btc at?
 
@FallenAngelEyes That's the source of @Wipqozn's video, according to youtube.
 
3:22 PM
@ThomasMcDonald Err, somewhere below the peak unfortunately, $15 or something
 
user30
Oh, I thought it was at like $6 when you sold.
 
They're at $7 something now.
 
@RavenDreamer It's a good site
 
Wow.
Apparently Vayne's first name is Shauna.
I did not know that. (#League of Legends)
 
@FallenAngelEyes Your hint's most likely correct, I didn't double-check before I posted that.
Edited.
Also, yay, after a brief downtime my internet seems to be somewhat functional again!
(watches this next message timeout)
 
3:29 PM
Gotcha. I was severely confused when I read it.
 
Man. I cannot wait for Skyrim!
 
Sorry for the, uh, severe confusion? scratches head I didn't think it was that big of a deal.
 
I don't know whether to be excited for Skyrim, or excited for the inevitable overhaul mod which will make it better.
 
As it were, your solution for the previous room is actually inaccurate but I didn't comment on that back when I answered.

Q: Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare Disc Include the Original Game?

TuxI'm considering buying Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare. I found the disc for cheap, but I already own the original Red Dead Redemption. Does Undead Nightmare include all the content from the originally released Red Dead Redemption? Or is it JUST the DLC and not the original storyline? I ...

 
3:31 PM
@Brant Touché
 
@Grace So I noticed...I need to edit that,
 
Question - how large are the stack exchange avatars allowed to be?
 
@RavenDreamer Gravatar's max size is usually 512x512
 
That is a sensible yet inconvenient size.
I just was cropping a picture to fit an 80x80 avatar yesterday.
Thought I might be able to use it for a twofer.
 
It'll auto-crop and resize from a larger picture, though
Half my avatars are from wallpapers, after all
...okay, maybe not half. But a decent portion.
In fact, you can use Gravatar as a quick way to scale down a larger image used on one site to use on another, since you can specify the size of the gravatar post-fact.
 
3:37 PM
That picture reminds me of a pokemon, or someone cos-playing a pokemon. But I digress.
 
The biggest size Gravatar will supply is 512, so that's probably the biggest size they'll store.
Personally, I prefer downsizing them myself.
 
What rating is SE anyway?
 
Wait, we can have different avatars on different sites?
 
@ArdaXi PG
 
3:38 PM
Mind = blown!
 
@RavenDreamer Only if you differ the email address.
 
@RavenDreamer have you ever used an avatar?
 
Your Gravatar is always based on your email address.
 
@Wipqozn does it look like I've changed my default gravatar?
 
We all thought you just really liked triangles.
3
 
3:39 PM
@RavenDreamer You could have had one, but removed it and were too lazy to make a new one.
 
Sorry if that sounded mean. It wasn't supposed to.
 
I should check whether receiving mail @ardaxi.com works.
 
@RavenDreamer It did. You made me cry.
 
Yay, it does.
 
@Wipqozn Well trying to pronounce your name made my tonsils cry, so I guess we're even.
2
 
3:40 PM
@RavenDreamer I thought I remember you having one 4 months ago, when I first started posted.
 
Oh look, I got a Deputy badge just in time for the elections.
 
@Wipqozn He didn't
 
@ArdaXi Which one is Deputy?
 
Honestly, I like to think my gravatar is formed from 4 pictures of a stylized shark. Or maybe a really angry whale.
 
But yes, if you want multiple gravatars per site, then if you use a mail service that allows salts in the address, then all you have to do is get a whole bunch of addresses associated to your gravatar account.
 
3:42 PM
500 flag weight
 
@GraceNote Or own a domain.
 
@GraceNote ...+pain?
 
@FallenAngelEyes Programmers
 
I was about to ask the same thing.
 
Oh. And here I thought it may be something I'd be interested in. Carry on!
 
3:43 PM
@ArdaXi That too
 
Anyway, I have to go figure out how mail merges work in Word 2003. Wish me luck.
 
Hahahaha, mail merges...
 
Oh, oh! Who had the "moderator preparedness page", thing?
 
@RavenDreamer @YiJiang
 
Okay, I could have sworn I heard chat bleep at me...
 
3:46 PM
@GraceNote LOL
 
@RavenDreamer Probably nothing.
 
@RavenDreamer He can't update it at that address anymore
 
Why not?
 
Dan Grossman was hosting it
he hasn't been in chat in a long while and now YiJ's FTP account no longer works.
 
3:49 PM
Since most of it is client-side, I downloaded the page and made a few changes so it should hopefully still work
right now however that bit still defaults to fetching from /elections/1/ if /election/ doesn't give the meaty juice
 
@badp I can host it if you want.
Unless you already have hosting.
 
@ArdaXi That's not the problem, Yi Jiang wrote it so it would work from Dropbox hosting
and it mostly still does
 
@ArdaXi ?
 
there's still this php dependency I don't think we have the source for - I sure don't.
 
What is it?
I have a VPS, so I should be able to install anything.
 
3:51 PM
It's a simple passthrough script that is required to get cross domain information
The PHP dependency. The code is very simple
 
I can imagine, now that you mention it.
 
Oh, right. I can host that if you want.
 
Oh, wow. The search bar auto-extends now.
 
I just don't get the impression Yi's that invested/interested in maintaining that page anymore, though.
 
@Wipqozn That was a great episode.
 
3:55 PM
@ArdaXi Told you. Now aren't you happy you didn't listen to @GraceNote?
 
@badp I can write Javascript and PHP, if @YiJiang doesn't mind of course.
@Wipqozn Am I not always?
 
@Wipqozn Just for that, my scorn will be in your direction rather than Arda's
2
 
user30
Ugh, PS3 has system-updated, now there's 5 updates for GT5.
 
 
That's weird.
 
3:56 PM
@badp Not really, but then again the page doesn't need that much work, except for someone to regularly add in the sites that are having elections
Which is a bit of a chore really
 
@GraceNote Oh snap. Now that she's become a SE employee she's gone crazy with power.
 
I didn't really need to be an employee to direct this kind of scorn ♪
 
@GraceNote Scorn? Was that what that was?
 
@ArdaXi I didn't direct any to you yet, since I hadn't known you spurned me until now.
 
@GraceNote I... did?
 
3:58 PM
@ArdaXi Yeah I have hard time believing that too.
 
Well, my advice.
(I used one of those words that has stronger implications than I meant, didn't I?)
 
My disdain is reserved for a very small group of people.
@GraceNote Probably.
 
"FROM NOW ON YOU WILL BE NAMED GAUSH-GAYAJHAVA-MELKA"
 
@GraceNote for a second I read that as "my advance"(s). Stupid dyslexic human brain.
 
@ArdaXi Until you're elected moderator and you become corrupt with power.
 
4:00 PM
@GraceNote I do not judge people, I judge actions.
 
@ArdaXi - that's why you're going to make a terrible good mod.
 
@Wipqozn Of course, part of the process.
 
Always a good thing
 
Man, I didn't even have the chance to edit that.
Quickdraw Grace Note to the rescue, I guess.
 
Hm, I need to choice between battling humans or beasts.
 
4:02 PM
@RavenDreamer Fastest Note in the West!
3
 
@RavenDreamer I was looking away from the screen, and completely missed it.
 
@FallenAngelEyes I'd star that, but I think I've reached my star quota for the day. :/
 
@badp Humans.
 
When was it decided that the AskQuestion™ mothership was piloted by alien overlords?
 
@RavenDreamer ...there's a star quota?
 
4:03 PM
And 'lo! Raven Dreamer did insure that everyone else did star it!
 
Indeed I went for beasts.
 
@Brant Stardate "Sometime before now"
 
@Brant Somewhere around the invasion.
 
@FallenAngelEyes I think he was joking.
 
@FallenAngelEyes About 30 per day
 
4:04 PM
Huh. I had no idea. Is that per room or for all rooms?
 
@YiJiang Apparently I'm wrong though.
 
Per room. Used to hit it all the time in the Meta tavern starring you-know-whats
 
@YiJiang Messages?
 
@ArdaXi *looks around* she isn't here... *whispers* oys.
 
Oh, you mean @RebeccaChernoff!
 
4:07 PM
@Brant Oy!
 
I'm going to run for election again just so I can try to get the power to change the topic in here. No other reason.
 
@Powerlord That's a very noble platform to run on.
 
@Powerlord You had the power, then refused it.
 
@Powerlord - You'd have my vote.
 
You have no one else to blame but yourself!
 
4:11 PM
@badp I did? When?
 
@Powerlord You used to be italic.
 
@ArdaXi Wait... when? I don't remember this at all.
I used to own the Team Fortress 2 room, and I still own Game On! and Bacon, but I don't recall ever being an owner in here.
 
user30
I don't understand why PS3 updates are so slow
 
user30
This 303mb patch has been downloading for the best part of 20 minutes, and it's not half done
 
@Powerlord So would you like ownership of this room?
 
user30
4:16 PM
Yes
 
@badp Sure! :D
 
I trust @ThomasMcDonald more than you though!
 
@badp Even after I gave you pretty things? Like the Orange Box? :P
 
@Powerlord Not my fault the thing I wanted to pay back with hasn't been on sale so far! :(
 
@badp It likely also doesn't help that my game list continues to grow.
 
4:18 PM
@Powerlord I still don't think you have it
but you think italics are worth that then...
 
For example, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Morrowind, Oblivion, Quake 4, Brink, and a few others are all in my list now.
 
badp has added Thomas McDonald to the list of this room's owners.
badp has added Powerlord to the list of this room's owners.
 
FIGHT!
 
opens his loadout
 
actually let me back up the feed list
 
4:19 PM
@badp lol
Oh right, we're supposed to be fighting.
 
I meant you and @ThomasMcDonald, not you and me :P
 
@badp I know, that's what I meant.
Except he appears to be afk. Does that mean I win by default?
Or is he just hiding in spawn? 'cause I could totally build a level 3 sentry by his spawn door.
 
Yes.
 
I'm also "working" through lunch today, or I'd be AFK.
 
@Powerlord Such a good employee.
 
4:24 PM
@Wipqozn I was 2 hours late this morning because my alarm clock had both alarms off. I wouldn't call it "good"
 
@Powerlord You could also say you're 22 hours early for tomorrow
 
@Wipqozn Which would mean I'd have an unexcused absence instead. :P
 
@Powerlord yeah but when you show up 22 hours early on friday, you were working on the weekend. So bonus points!
 
Hey, I just realized that @GraceNote's new job means there won't be any more daggers being randomly thrown into the room pinning notes to the wall.
 
I haven't been doing that for months
 
4:26 PM
@Brant That hasn't happened in a while
 
And we've missed it.
 
I thought badp was the one that pinned evecything.
 
Or not, because I haven't noticed.
 
Since Powerlord, among others, very politely requested that I stop doing that.
 
Also I swear this Arduino crap is going to give me a heart attack, jesus christ. I am not the type of person who should be trying to mess around with very, very tiny electronic parts.
 
4:27 PM
@Manaಠдಠ I built my own once.
 
Own what?
 
@Wipqozn In this case, they didn't mean pinned posts, but rather edits to other peoples' posts.
 
@RavenDreamer Arduino.
 
Okay then, new question.
What's an Arduino?
 
@Powerlord Oh, thank you. You've been most helpful.
 
4:29 PM
@RavenDreamer It's like an electronic circuitboard thing kind of that you can program using USB
 
I'm the one shuffling pins around
 
@Manaಠдಠ My b/f futzes about with electronics, he has one of those
 
I don't have mine any more, I only built it in some kind of university. I still have to buy my own one day.
 
Come on, please upload, code :(
YES
IT WORKS\
AHAHAHAHAHA I'M A GENIUS
 
@Manaಠдಠ Sure you are mana, sure you are. pats mana on the head
 
4:33 PM
Eight LEDs turning on and off in a row!!!! Oh man, I need some kind of prize for this.
 
(imagines @Mana standing over massive lightning-powered contraption with tiny circuit board strapped into it, screaming "It's aliiiiiiiiive!!")
 
@sjohnston I don't know what @mana looks like, so I cant do that.
 
@Mana - I know the feeling.
 
otherwise I definitely would as well, since it's a great idea.
 
@Wipqozn I imagined him roughly as his avatar looks
pretty much that facial expression too
 
4:34 PM
@sjohnston YEah, that's probably exactly what he looks like.
Wouldn't surprise me at all actually.
 
@Wipqozn Mana looks like this: ಠдಠ
 
@sjohnston I'm having more fun combining that with his current display name face
 
I have curly brown hair so that's one difference!!
 
imagines Karkat with curly brown hair
 
But yeah I have the horns and everything, it's cool.
 
4:35 PM
@Manaಠдಠ that's pretty far out
 
@Raven Did you see last night's update?!
 
I can't decide if @Mana 's avatar has duct tape over his mouth, or simply has a steel-grey throat bared wide an an eternal scream.
 
@Manaಠдಠ Somehow I'm doubting you actually have subdermal teflon horn implants
 
@Mana Aradia banging on the fifth wall? Yeah.
 
@RavenDreamer I always thought it was his throat.
 
4:36 PM
I wish I knew why I'm taking damage
 
You're probably standing in the fire.
People are always standing in the fire.
 
My first death in Witcher 2 came as a direct result of accidentally stepping in a campfire.
Like, what a dumb way for my badass white-haired manly man to go.
 
Incidentally, that reminds me of this youtube video / faux latin chant.
(It's a WoW reference, FYI)
 
@Raven Based on the fire I'm guessing Sephiroth-related
 
@Mana Then you guess wrong.
 
4:39 PM
@RavenDreamer but I'm flying in the air!
 
oh man it's not
 
Is the air on fire? That would be worrying.
 
@badp is the air on
 
An invisible fire perhaps?!
 
darn it!

Q: In Hammerfight, how do you catch a weapon?

corrodedI am currently stuck in the flail throwing part and I can only catch it randomly. Do I have to hold the left mouse and catch it? or do i have to click at the right moment or what?

 
@Lazers peers at gravatar
 
@FallenAngelEyes Hm? He looks totally legit.
 
@badp Just don't let him around @Arda and @Ronan?
 
@badp - okay, that's scary. It probably doesn't help that the announcer is British, so I keep expecting it to devolve into a Monty Python skit.
 
4:42 PM
@FallenAngelEyes I'm of age, actually.
 
He just wants a hug, @FallenAngelEyes!
 
@ArdaXi - I never had any doubt.
 
@RavenDreamer For all I know it probably is.
 
@badp jesus, that's some crazy shit right there.
 
@Wipqozn Really? I can't see anything.
badumtsssh
 
4:45 PM
@badp You're so funny.
 
I know, right? I noted badumtsssh is also much better than </bad-pun-of-the-day>
 
@badp That reminds me of this joke I know where I run up to you and stab you 37 times in the chest.
eyes twitch wildly
 
@Manaಠдಠ Ohohohoh that's hilarious, like, we totally thought you were going to stop at the 25th, all walking casually away whistling about, and then you came back for more!
 
@Manaಠдಠ why 37 times? why not 38, or 36?
 
@Wipqozn It's a reference to Llamas With Hats.
 
4:47 PM
@Manaಠдಠ MY question stands.
 
Well, I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR YOUR QUESTION MOD ELECTIONS ARE IN 3 HOURS WOOOOOAH
also I haven't eaten breakfast and it's almost 1:00 PM what's wrong with my face

Q: What if we could ask questions directly from chat?

Raven DreamerI think its been a problem (to one degree or another) with every Stack Exchange site so far -- how to deal with questions that are technically on topic, but for whatever reason, aren't appreciated as standard questions. The game-rec tag falls cleanly into this category, as does identify-this-game...

 
@Manaಠдಠ I think Mana needs a 9 - 5 job.
 
@Manaಠдಠ lolololololo of plinket.
 
4:51 PM
 
@Lazers Not sure what I think about that.
