12:00 AM

@Wipqozn I would bet a large amount against that.

James

@GnomeSlice You are not going to make friends calling me a liar ya know.

GnomeSlice

> WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT PONIES IF WE WANT

I'm not asking you not to talk about them.

I'm asking you to put gigantic images behind text links.

Is that really so hard?

You people never pass up an opportunity to tell me how easy it is.

but NO OMG HE WANTS US TO STOP TALKING ABOUT PONIES DOWNVOTE

As I said, nobody read it.

CruelCow

@Sterno Says the guy with an avatar of pitboy (?) enjoying a drink while his chair is on fire :D

Sterno

@CruelCow I'm totally missing how that's relevant.

CruelCow

@Sterno your avatar is weird as well

Sterno

12:02 AM

It seems like you could have observed any avatar I had at all

GnomeSlice

@James I'm not calling you a liar, I'm saying your answer is proving my point.

agent86

@GnomeSlice you're a troll, and you're trolling. you're good at it, I'll give you that. but you're still a troll.

Sterno

No no no, I'm not saying having a MLP avatar is inherently weird

I'm saying it's weird that it's so popular.

murgatroid99

@GnomeSlice I read it. I do not think that I should not be allowed to one box images I'm posting just because you don't want to see it

James

@Sterno Ill chime in and say I also find it very weird. But I also do not find it offensive and often amusing :)

agent86

12:02 AM

you know what you're doing. you know why it's bad. you're still doing it.

Wipqozn

@Sterno Just out of curiosity, have you ever watched the show?

Sterno

I'd make the same observation probably about any TV show themed avatar that was popular in here

@Wipqozn I have not.

Ullallulloo

@Sterno GIR

Sterno

@Ullallulloo That's true. To a much lesser extent, but you're right, that's another one.

GnomeSlice

@agent86 No, I'm not.

And I really resent being labelled as such...

Ben Brocka

12:03 AM

Eh, it's popular because the show is popular, and it lends itself more to avatars/ect moreso than man shows

I mean I can't really imagine a particularly amusing MadMen avatar

John

@GnomeSlice I hate the pony talk, but I still downvoted. Why? You're asking everyone else to adhere to something you yourself don't.

LessPop_MoreFizz

BAM! Change of Subject time!

A bottle of beer that I can turn 180 degrees vertical into a glass and have ABSOLUTELY ZERO HEAD is goddamned BLACK SORCERY at work. Also delicious.

Sterno

@BenBrocka I can, but it involves Christina Hendricks and getting banned :)

GnomeSlice

@John I try godammit.

Ben Brocka

@Sterno touche

GnomeSlice

12:04 AM

And when I fail, I get flagged, and suspended.

Sterno

@LessPopMoreFizz I need a Xenoblade report!

GnomeSlice

So why should that be different for anyone else?

=[

LessPop_MoreFizz

@BenBrocka You clearly haven't been around the internet enough because I've seen plenty. Also, clearly the cool kids would use Breaking Bad avatars.

James

@LessPop_MoreFizz You will understand my wondering at a person with your name not liking a beer with a good head on it :)

murgatroid99

@GnomeSlice The bigger problem is that you want a new category of pictures to be censored just because you don't want to see them

LessPop_MoreFizz

12:05 AM

@Sterno I gave up on Dolphin for now because I couldn't find an ISO of the NA release, got it running on the Wii about 2 hours ago. Mechanically, it feels like the successor of FF12 in all of the best ways.

Ben Brocka

@LessPop_MoreFizz I dunno, if I was going for a drug addict related avatar I'd have Dr. Rockso

LessPop_MoreFizz

@BenBrocka Walt is not a drug addict, he's a drug dealer. Get it right.

Wipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz The emulator?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Wipqozn Yeah.

GnomeSlice

@murgatroid99 I don't want to be judged for having them on my screen constantly.

But basically, yes, that's correct.

Ben Brocka

12:06 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz I guess, I don't watch the show. It would require my TV to be plugged into something other than the wall and my PS3

murgatroid99

@GnomeSlice But that's your problem, not ours. It's fundamentally different from posting NSFW pictures

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Wipqozn I bought Xenoblade Chronicles yesterday, and while it'd be nice to run it on my laptop so I can travel with it, ripping Wii discs is... an adventure.

@BenBrocka l2netflix.

Also, you need to watch Breaking Bad.

Best show since The Wire.

Ben Brocka

@LessPop_MoreFizz do wii emulators already run at full speed?

Sterno

@GnomeSlice For what it's worth, I made the same observation as you a few days ago (without the demand that people stop posting them). I'm not real comfortable with MLP images on my screen at work. To which everyone's response is "You shouldn't be in chat at work", but let's be honest, I'm not the only one.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Also, an Omar avatar would be pretty rad.

Wipqozn

12:07 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz How is it? Assuming you've played it yet that is.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@BenBrocka better than full speed, +HD

Sterno

BUT, I don't think people should be banned from doing it. I just wish they didn't. :)

Ben Brocka

@LessPop_MoreFizz see, the Wire I actually watched, but generally I'm not big into TV even if I can access it

@LessPop_MoreFizz impressive, I haven't dabbled in console emulation beyond the N64

@Sterno I gave up on Dolphin for now because I couldn't find an ISO of the NA release, got it running on the Wii about 2 hours ago. Mechanically, it feels like the successor of FF12 in all of the best ways.

agent86

@GnomeSlice I've watched you go on for half an hour about how awesome some characters tits are in a game, and then post a question about how you wish they wouldn't end up in their underwear. I've watched you post crap that you knew was over the line, and then joke about how much you enjoyed the drama. I've watched you post topless women a half hour after you came off a suspension for posting topless women. This is troll behavior.

Wipqozn

12:07 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh, that's what you were talking about.

GnomeSlice

@murgatroid99 Well, maybe we need to have a discussion about ponies being NSFW.

Sterno

@LessPop_MoreFizz I've got what I'm pretty sure is an NA release. It's certainly in English, anyway.

Ben Brocka

@LessPop_MoreFizz I take it nintendo's DRM is brutal on the actual disk?

GnomeSlice

@agent86 Just because you don't understand me doesn't give you the right to label me a troll.

=[

LessPop_MoreFizz

@BenBrocka Dolphin is the first console emulation post SNES that I'm interested in. Mainly because unlike other projects, it actually offers an improvement on the console play experience.

Wipqozn

12:08 AM

@GnomeSlice No, we don't.

agent86

and I'm tired of discussing it or trying to explain what "offensive" means to you, that's feeding you and I don't like to feed trolls.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@BenBrocka It's quite easy actually, but only if you have one of a few dozen specific dvd-rom drives that won't spit the disc right out.

Ben Brocka

@LessPop_MoreFizz so it's not buggy unlike most emulators?

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn This says a lot about your attitude towards the matter. "Oh, well it's just GnomeSlice, someone will ban him and we won't have to deal with it again."

LessPop_MoreFizz

@BenBrocka From what I hear it's pretty damned stable and solid.

agent86

12:09 AM

Last time we warned you that next time was a month suspension, and yet here we are. Again.

Sterno

@LessPopMoreFizz It took me quite a while to get my xbox360 controller configured correctly. Not because it was terribly complicated, but I had to keep entering and exiting the game until I got the buttons mapped how I wanted.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Remember, the Wii was considered underpowered at launch 5 years ago.

Ben Brocka

yeah, but even PS1 emulators are dodgy

Sterno

I might actually play that Metroid game I bought like 5 years ago now that I can play it via Dolphin

Okay, probably not.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@BenBrocka True. But Sony has always done really weird things with processing.

@Sterno Is it voice acted in English?

murgatroid99

12:10 AM

@GnomeSlice If you reasonably demonstrate that ponies can be considered NSFW, then I will reconsider my position

LessPop_MoreFizz

Because the NA release is fully (if badly) voiced.

James

Wow

Youtube is uploading VERY slowly

Sterno

@agent86 I think @GnomeSlice has been on good behavior, actually. I mean, that meta post definitely isn't popular, but it's certainly nothing ban-worthy.

GnomeSlice

@murgatroid99 People laugh at me, judge me, ask me questions I don't want to have to answer in public?

Ben Brocka

@LessPop_MoreFizz true. I wonder if modern game console's CPU/GPU stuff work more standardly. Old consoles did tons of weird hacks and specific crap for their CPU/ect

Sterno

12:11 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah.

John

@GnomeSlice embarrassing != not safe for work

Ben Brocka

like whatever Sega did to the Genesis' sound processor to make it suck

murgatroid99

@GnomeSlice I'm pretty sure that that's not sufficient for general definitions of NSFW. What @John said

GnomeSlice

@John Oh, okay, so lets not be nice people and put them behind text links just because we don't have to.

Sterno

@LessPopMoreFizz It's the 4.38 gb one on TPB

murgatroid99

12:13 AM

@GnomeSlice lets censor ourselves because one person doesn't want to see it

James

@JOhn Posting a video shortly of a quick tour of the cave map :)

John

@James Oh cool :)

LessPop_MoreFizz

@BenBrocka Well, Sony's in particular always have, they're notorious for goofy non-standard CPU's.

Which, arguably, might be by design because the result is a strong progression of graphics quality over a consoles life span as devs figure out how to make it not suck.

GnomeSlice

@murgatroid99 Let's be dicks because one person is asking me to take a bit of extra time to help him out.

Ben Brocka

@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm only aware of the Cell, but it was a pretty weird move at the time

James

12:14 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz xbox == unified architecture == equally weird

LessPop_MoreFizz

@BenBrocka PS2 had the 'Emotion Engine' nonsense.

James

Furthermore it proves that we should be able to enjoy a unified architecture with today's hardware and yet are not.

murgatroid99

@GnomeSlice It's not because I don't like you. You are the only person here asking me to censor myself, which is why you're the one I'm arguing with

GnomeSlice

@murgatroid99 I edited it.

James

@LessPop_MoreFizz Meh, That was a fancy name for a multi-core that werent identical core systems.

Ben Brocka

12:15 AM

Wasn't familiar with that (other than it's what made PS3's backwards compatible)

James

Its also the chip that contained all the internal architecture of the PS1 for compatibility :D

GnomeSlice

Yes, I ask people to censor themselves slightly and the result is a suspension, a downvoted to hell meta thread, and an overwhelming NO U.

Sterno

This chat needs a Kevin Sorbo picture. That will sort us all out.

James

PS2 was an awesome piece of engineering at the time it was made.

Huge bus for data through put, additional memory for dedicated processing routines

John

@GnomeSlice Censor yourself for a week or two, then we'll talk.

James

12:16 AM

And what.. 8 processors?? :)

GnomeSlice

You want to see what abusing flags is? I can show you what abusing flags is.

John

@GnomeSlice You're really asking for it now...

CruelCow

@GnomeSlice: I'm confused. The original question asked for pony pics to be banned. Then you edited it into a textlink request. Now Raven edited it "with your consent" into are ponies on topic.

James

@GnomeSlice Now this is him being a troll

Wipqozn

Sterno

12:16 AM

Related: I just found out Hercules: The Legendary Journeys is on Netflix Streaming. Yeah!

GnomeSlice

@John I try. And when I fail I get flagged and suspended.

@James This is me getting angry.

John

@GnomeSlice I have yet to see you try. You frequently post pictures just to see how far you can go before suspension. Which is the exact opposite of "trying" in this scenario.

James

@GnomeSlice Then I suggest, as I have done three times now, that you leave for a few min and let the conversation pass

you have NO chance of getting what you want and EVERY possibility of just getting made more upset.

GnomeSlice

@CruelCow Because I was upset and I don't post things very eloquently when I'm upset. Even still, I never once asked for them to be banned.

user2334

@Wipqozn His eyes are peering deep into my soul.

murgatroid99

12:17 AM

@GnomeSlice one, I don't like censorship. I agree with it in the case of NSFW posts because people need to keep their jobs. two, downvotes don't really matter on meta, and three, you are really the last person to ask others to censor themselves here

GnomeSlice

@murgatroid99 I don't like censorship either. I hate it, in fact. But I'm not asking you to not post them.

Ben Brocka

@murgatroid99 downvotes are different but they matter on meta

GnomeSlice

@murgatroid99 Also, the third thing you said is really my problem entirely with trying to defend myself here any more.

It's me.

James

GnomeSlice

Why would anyone give anything I say any credence.

James

12:18 AM

I counter your kevin sorbo @Wipqozn!!! :D

LessPop_MoreFizz

@James Sure it was, and yes, it was a marvel of engineering. It was also sufficiently 'difficult' to make games for that the visual difference between early and late PS2 games is night and day.

GnomeSlice

@James Who's that?

murgatroid99

@BenBrocka I just meant that they don't affect reputation or privileges

James

@GnomeSlice Kevin Sorbo is the guy he posted in the picture

Ben Brocka

@murgatroid99 yeah, that they don't

LessPop_MoreFizz

12:19 AM

@GnomeSlice So you admit to being a troll then?

GnomeSlice

@James Who is the one in yours....

Sterno

Kevin Sorbo is Hercules!

@LessPop_MoreFizz Haha, let me get a quote for you :)

Wipqozn

12:19 AM

@Sterno and also Captain Dylan Hunt!

GnomeSlice

I'm not going to be terribly annoyed if we don't make a rule about ponies and text links. What bothers me is that it's a fairly simple request, and it's been met with suspensions, flagging, downvotes, name calling, and the like.

Ben Brocka

The Guardian Angel from borderlands

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GnomeSlice After all, you admit that there's no reason that anyone should give anything you say any credence?

Ben Brocka

Wipqozn

Sterno

12:20 AM

@Wipqozn We don't count shows that only stayed on the air because Lexa Doig is hot!

James

@LessPopMoreFizz There was a post from the Sony guy behind the PS3 who said, when asked why it was hard to program for the Ps3 if they were going to address it with the response of: Course not, what else are developers going to have to do for the next 5 years?

GnomeSlice

@LessPop_MoreFizz No... what I said is that that's what is happening now.

:4152262 No, I got suspended for defending myself in chat.

Wipqozn

:4152262 No, he didn't. He got suspended for telling me to "f off".

LessPop_MoreFizz

@James Yeah, which was the point I was making that started this thread of conversation. :P

GnomeSlice

That's not really the best example, but the rest still stand.

@Wipqozn Well, you were being a prick.

Sterno

12:21 AM

@GnomeSlice The downvotes at least are understandable, right? It's people who disagree with you. I mean, that's kind of how meta voting works.

"We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that (developers) want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so then the question is, what do you do for the rest of the nine-and-a-half years?"

@Sterno Not really. Is there something wrong with the proposal?

An answer supporting it should be donwvoted.

@RavenDreamer Come answer me!

Ben Brocka

@murgatroid99 or a crappy post. Since meta posts are hidden from the front page at -8, off topic/ect posts are downvoted

Sterno

@GnomeSlice I don't know, I think meta voting means something different to everyone, but I wouldn't take all those downvotes to mean "I hate you, Gnome!" any more than I'd take the upvotes you got to mean "I love you, Gnome!"

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn You were being a prick. So you deserved it.

Ben Brocka

12:23 AM

@agent86 FlOw, Flower

murgatroid99

@GnomeSlice so I downvoted your posted because I disagreed with your proposal

GnomeSlice

@Sterno Nobody actually read the post, judging from the comments and answers.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@James Is that a glass of beer on the table in the bottom left corner at breakfast?

James

@murgatroid99 As did I.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Nah, I live in California.. that is a glass of unsweetened tea :)

GnomeSlice

If you don't want to accept the proposal, fine. But don't be dicks about it.

Ben Brocka

12:24 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz what, you don't drink beer with breakfast?

Puts some hops into your step for the morning

LessPop_MoreFizz

@James What does california have to do with anything?

You're getting all worked about me trying to step on your GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO POST PONIES instead of discussing it civilly.

John

@BenBrocka No, he does, he was just hoping he wasn't the only one.

James

@BenBrocka I see what you did there!!

Sterno

@GnomeSlice You're not making any ground claiming that no one read it. Just because they disagreed with you doesn't mean they didn't read it.

Wipqozn

12:24 AM

@GnomeSlice I posted a counter example. Also, like I said to you already, I wasn't the one that flagged you. I didn't even act on the flag. UI'm just telling someone why you were really suspended, since you're claiming it was due to a disagreement.

murgatroid99

@Sterno From the FAQ: " On Meta, voting is often used to express agreement or disagreement, not to point out a lack of quality or helpfulness"

Sterno

P.S. - I upvoted it

Ben Brocka

Now I want a beer. See you guys ARE a bad influence

James

@LessPop_MoreFizz Ice tea on east coast == sweetened.. Ice Tea on the west coast == unsweetened (by defaults) :)

GnomeSlice

@Sterno " I refuse to believe that you can't tell the difference between offensive and not offensive, or that you're unaware of the fact that you cause unnecessary drama. You're on real thin ice here, and the path you're headed down ends with permanent bans."

Sterno

12:25 AM

@murgatroid99 I'm pretty sure that agrees with what I said.

Raven Dreamer

@John Bam.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@James What does this have to do with why it looks like a beer?

user2334

@James Sweet tea is a southern thing. In New York, you have to specify, otherwise you get unsweetened.

GnomeSlice

@murgatroid99 I'm not sure this applies to me.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@BenBrocka You should have some of what I'm having.

murgatroid99

12:26 AM

@Sterno I was just pointing out that it means that, as opposed to "something different to everyone"

John

@RavenDreamer I see....kinda disappointing.

Tim Stone

@BenBrocka ~~bad~~ good influence

James

@MarkTrapp Hmm, Ice tea in upstate NY is sweetened..

GnomeSlice

@murgatroid99 When is the last time you you saw an answer to a meta thread that got 6 upvotes that fast.

James

(Thats where I am originally from.. Central NY)

Sterno

12:26 AM

@murgatroid99 Yeah, but even that says "often". And just because the FAQ or whatever suggests that's how votes work doesn't mean that's how it plays out.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Unsweetened is definitely the norm in NYC as well.

James

Maybe the unsweetened revolution is starting to take over! :)

Raven Dreamer

@GnomeSlice, @murgatroid99, @Sterno, @others, I'm going to ask that you move this conversation to a private room if you wish to continue it.

James

I am not a fan of sweet drinks

Sterno

Hell, I don't even vote consistently on meta. Sometimes it expresses agreement, sometimes it expresses that I think it's worth discussing

James

12:27 AM

If I want sweet Ill eat a cake or something

user2334

@James Bah! I grew up in the Hudson Valley and went to college in Western NY. Many a times I've been burnt by not saying "Sweetened Iced Tea"

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn That would not have been flagged if someone wasn't righteously pissed that I asked them to censor their ponies.

murgatroid99

@RavenDreamer I'm done

Ben Brocka

@LessPop_MoreFizz I am having Boulevard's Bully Porter, but only because it's the last beer in the fridge. Don't like porter. What are you having?

James

@MarkTrapp I do recall being burned by that.. but it was just not the norm.. it was an odd restaurant that offered unsweetened tea at all to begin with from my memories.

Ben Brocka

GnomeSlice

Which clearly they do.

Raven Dreamer

12:29 AM

@John What secret room?

GnomeSlice

And now I'm a troll again.

At least according to @agent86.

John

@RavenDreamer The one at the end of that level. I thought you could get there without pressing the button, hence I asked what the button was for, but apparently that is what the button is for.

Raven Dreamer

@John I'm not familiar with a special room at the end of the level.

Sterno

@GnomeSlice I had a similar reaction when I mentioned it a few days ago, and I wasn't even asking anyone to stop. It's a sore subject, which I hadn't realized at the time. Maybe you didn't either. Now you do! Best to let this one go. :)

@RavenDreamer I'm not sure

LessPop_MoreFizz

user2334

@James Maybe it is restaurant choice, I dunno. At least everywhere I've been except the South you had the option of either (or, in my experience, unsweetened only). In the South (or at least in Tennessee, where my parents live now), if you say "I'd like an Iced Tea", they respond, "You mean sweet tea?" and look at you funny if you ask for unsweetened.

@Wipqozn It's quite fun. Especially with a few friends.

Sterno

@BenBrocka In other news... it's weird playing Disgaea 4, which has full voice acting, versus Disgaea 1 for the DS, which doesn't

Prinny voices are very annoying

GnomeSlice

@Sterno I can only think of two reasons it's a sore subject. The first is that some people are really just doing it to annoy everyone else. The second is that people are ashamed of it or something and don't want to be asked to stop on the basis of it being 'weird', because that makes THEM feel weird, and they want to feel like it's normal.

I'm not saying it's not, by the way.

Raven Dreamer

@John forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/27597

@LessPopMoreFizz Also, see here.

@John I have no interest in playing. I just wanted to post the video.

James

VO was probably the first thing they cut when targeting the system

Fluttershy

@GnomeSlice So... you're saying the reason we don't want to have to go to extremes to censor our perfectly safe for work images is because we want everyone to think we're normal?

Ben Brocka

@Sterno I wonder if you get old Etna or new Etna...

John

@RavenDreamer Then what adds the ghost block that opens the secret room?

James

Spiral Knights lagged horridly when I tried to play it

Raven Dreamer

12:33 AM

@John what secret room?

James

Ruined the game for me

agent86

@BenBrocka I think I grabbed the Flower demo, but I haven't tried it yet. So far with R&C and Heavy Rain I've wanted to turn it off. Just not as precise as digital controls.

Sterno

@BenBrocka One aspect I do miss from the DS is that the top screen showed kind of like a 2d map overview of the area. It made it a lot easier to move the cursor around and select things, versus having to do it all in the 3d normal view

Wipqozn

@agent86 Flower <3

Ben Brocka

either way, disgaea 4 wil lbe a much better impression of the disgaea experience than the DS one

GnomeSlice

12:34 AM

@Fluttershy I don't know. The only reason I can think of to explain the terribly vicious responses is because being asked to stop makes some people feel like they're weird.

John

You get there by hitting that ghost block from the last picture.

GnomeSlice

I honestly have no idea. It's a simple request, and I get raged at.

Fluttershy

@GnomeSlice You're getting raged at for exactly what @murgatroid99 said and @LessPopMoreFizz commented on the post. Also, the starred message from @John. That is why people are getting upset with you about it.

Unless they're making yet another one

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka Right, that sounds like it.

Journey (2012 video game)

| genre = Adventure | modes = Single-playerCo-op | ratings = | platforms = PlayStation 3 | media = Online distribution }} Journey is a video game developed by Thatgamecompany exclusively for the PlayStation 3 and which is distributed on the PlayStation Network. The game features the player as a robed figure in a vast desert, journeying towards a mountain in the distance. Along the way the player can meet other players on the same journey; the two players can assist each other, but cannot communicate via speech or text and are not shown each others' n...

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot at least I try, and agree to try.

I don't go NO U.

Raven Dreamer

@John you are outside my knowledge

Ben Brocka

Journey is also amazing, but very short.

Raven Dreamer

@BenBrocka How much does it cost?

Wipqozn

12:35 AM

@BenBrocka I haven't played it yet, although I'm planning to.

James

@BenBrocka 6-axis is a crappy human interface.. using it 'well' is equal to a person with no legs swimming 'well' with just their arms.

GnomeSlice

@Fluttershy Again, at least I try, and agree to try.

John

@RavenDreamer The highest rep user on the site can't help me.....I'm worried now.

Ben Brocka

@RavenDreamer $10 or 15

Wipqozn

@RavenDreamer I think $10

GnomeSlice

12:36 AM

@John What's the question?

John

Q: What does this button in the Firestorm Citadel do?

I've been doing the Firestorm Citadel quite a lot now, practicing taking out Lord Vanaduke before I attempt a Shadow Lair run. I see this button hidden under a few boxes: Unfortunately, I forget exactly where this is, but as you can see (over the minimap), I'm on depth 27. This button does no...

spiral-knights

Raven Dreamer

@John Rep doesn't conflate with domain knowledge, though.

Fluttershy

@GnomeSlice But you don't try. You don't even think twice about the stuff you post. It isn't until someone tells you to put it behind a link, or tag it NSFW, that you actually do.

John

@RavenDreamer Yeah...

GnomeSlice

So I never remember to use it.

@Fluttershy That's not entirely true.

I hate the six-axis control. I think it's designed for people who habitually tilt their cnotrollers when playing games, and I never, ever do that.

Ben Brocka

12:36 AM

@RavenDreamer it's a pretty good indicator they they at least know something though

GnomeSlice

The only clear solution is for me to be permabanned.

Raven Dreamer

@BenBrocka I do know things. Just not... that thing.

GnomeSlice

@Fluttershy So what if I have to be reminded. =[

Fluttershy

@GnomeSlice I'm just giving my opinion on it. I took no offense to your meta post, but I still disagreed with it. And now, having seen @RavenDreamer's message in the starred list... I'm going to get some dinner.

agent86

@FAE lol, lots of love for flower. I'll have to check it out here once I'm done with these two

Wipqozn

12:37 AM

Oh, right, now that you're here @RavenDreamer. WHy did you delete this answer?

GnomeSlice

@John Maybe it's like that button in Doom.

James

@Fluttershy Dont post a picture of it.. they keep reposting it !!! :(

John

@GnomeSlice What button?

FAE

@agent86 I really enjoyed Flow back when I played it as a flash game and was very excited about Flower when it came out, though it released well before I owned a PS3.

Fluttershy

@James Picture of what? O.o

Raven Dreamer

12:38 AM

@Wipqozn Because Juan can see it anyway, and we want to discourage posting answers on closed questions when we can.

James

@Fluttershy Dinner :)

Sterno

I need 10k rep. I hate not being able to see deleted stuff when you guys link it!

GnomeSlice

The fact that that pinned message about abusing flags got 6 additional stars says something about the communities general attitude to me when I do something they disagree with.

Fluttershy

Oh.

murgatroid99

@Sterno that was my thought too

Wipqozn

12:39 AM

@RavenDreamer It was posted before the question was closed though, wasn't it? Also, you can't post an answer on a closed question. Unless I'm missing something.

GnomeSlice

@John There's a button in one of the levels my father and I have never been able to figure out the function of. And he used to play a lot of Doom. To the point where he knew every secret everywhere. Anyway, when you push it, you can hear some mechanical noise in the distance, but we could never find anything.

Wipqozn

@Sterno Deal with it. shades

John

@GnomeSlice Huh. Intriguing...

Raven Dreamer

@Wipqozn It was <10 seconds in difference.

James

@RavenDreamer I think you asked long ago enough that the conversation be taken to another room. I now ask you as a moderator to enforce your request in some manner.

GnomeSlice

12:40 AM

@RavenDreamer Actually, I think you may have made me sound more like I'm trying to ban ponies with your edit to my meta...

Sterno

@Wipqozn Well, I'm discovering that crapping out any old Skyrim answer gets you a ton of rep, so I can just deal with it by doing that!

GnomeSlice

> I am tired of the pony images that get posted in the Bridge every day.

This wasn't my point.

Ben Brocka

@Sterno it's worse on SO and Meta! ALL the fun stuff is deleted there!

2

James

@Sterno Do you need 10k on the site or 10k total??

Ben Brocka

I wanted to program on a boat :(

Sterno

12:41 AM

@James site

Raven Dreamer

I have 1k rep on SO! It's a start!

murgatroid99

@BenBrocka you still can

James

Ah.. there is that script that can read most of them.

Just not partials I guess

John

@RavenDreamer The missions update is definitely newer than that thread.

Sterno

@James I've tried it. It's not very effective

Ben Brocka

12:42 AM

@RavenDreamer I only have 500 :(

GnomeSlice

ANYWAY. Now that everyone thinks I'm a troll, I guess I'll go play Toribash or something.

John

@RavenDreamer It's so weird having more rep somewhere than you do.

Raven Dreamer

@John It's so weird not being able to fetch vote totals everywhere :(

GnomeSlice

@RavenDreamer I've always found this too.

John

@RavenDreamer That's exactly what @LessPopMoreFizz said about MSO.

Ben Brocka

12:43 AM

@RavenDreamer that too, I want 10k tools somewhere though

John

I have 1k rep on 5 different sites! :D

Ben Brocka

I'm only 10K on UX...and I'm a mod so it doesn't really matter

@John It's easy to get rep on MSO

John

Though I'm not sure A51 counts.

Raven Dreamer

@John I have 72k rep on one site!

Wipqozn

@John It doesn't.

John

12:44 AM

@BenBrocka I know, but it's still my precious....

James

@RavenDreamer o.O

Wipqozn

@RavenDreamer Mind if I borrow some?

John

@Wipqozn You're just jealous.

Wipqozn

@John ...yes :(

James

@RavenDreamer Did you bring enough Rep to share with the rest of us?? :)

John

12:44 AM

@RavenDreamer Yeah, in some cases, that might be more useful.

Sterno

RavenDreamer is the 1%

OCCUPY GAMING.SE!

John

@Sterno He's the 1% with 99% of the total rep on the site.

Q: Civ V - Where oh where is my scenario menu?

What's working: Downloaded steam version of the game and all DLC's, even reinstalled the game and all the DLC's are confirmed as "Installed" the custom maps are all there and working. Game runs fine. What's not working: Everything else. My main menu (nor any of the submenus) have the "scenarios"...

civilization-5

Yi Jiang

@Sterno If you really want to see something, you can ask me. I think there are a few other SO 10k'ers around too

Sterno

@ravendreamer It's just so selfish of you to keep all that rep for yourself when the rest of us could use it! YOU ARE A HORRIBLE PERSON

Tim Stone

12:46 AM

@YiJiang I'm every so slowly clawing my way to 10k on SO, one old answer up vote at a time... >_>

Sterno

Now I'm going to go play some drums and then camp in my tent.

GnomeSlice

I've given up trying to earn rep.

John

@TimStone I have this one question that consistently gets another upvote every few months.

GnomeSlice

I don't have anything to ask about any more, and I can't answer anything.

Ben Brocka

@TimStone I hate SO. If I see something easy enough to answer I know it'll be a dupe

Sterno

12:47 AM

@GnomeSlice That does make it more difficult.

Raven Dreamer

John

@BenBrocka This

Tim Stone

@John Yeah, my Subclipse icon answer is kind of like that. Then I get the occasional vote or two on random other stuff.

John

@RavenDreamer grumbles

Raven Dreamer

@Sterno I am the .06%!

Wipqozn

12:48 AM

Holy snap. I just realize he's from Law and Order!

James

@RavenDreamer I am definitely impressed, but I guess its not completely out of place

Wipqozn

The fellow on the far left.

Rapida

My only goal with rep is to stay on the first page of top overall users

James

There are people on GameDev for example who are just leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else rep wise..

Sterno

@RavenDreamer I can't hear you over the sound of all of this angry drumming!

Yi Jiang

12:48 AM

@GnomeSlice I've got a question about Hack Slash Loot, if that's your sort of thing

Wipqozn

@RavenDreamer So even the 1% are angry with you?

James

What bugs is some of them give the most awful advice I have ever seen :D

GnomeSlice

@YiJiang I have it, but I haven't played it yet.

Sterno

@YiJiang You should post it so the one question I've asked about it so far doesn't lose its tag

GnomeSlice

Ou, it's only 9 mB.

@YiJiang I've been wanting to play it for a long time.

I'll download it right now.

Raven Dreamer

12:49 AM

@Wipqozn I'm aiming to displace the .01%!

Sterno

He's almost the 1% of the 1%

Yi Jiang

It's something that happened on dungeon level 4, so it's not likely you'll reach there on your first try. Or tenth for that matter :|

Ben Brocka

huh, even I'm the 1% of G.SE

Sterno

@YiJiang What was it? I've been to the bottom of one of the dungeons a few times

James

Yi Jiang

12:51 AM

@Sterno It's about the Doppelganger

James

Quick tour of a cave world map.

GnomeSlice

@James You deleted me from your Steam friends list... =[

Sterno

@YiJiang Sounds like something I never ran into. Might be dungeon specific

I kept running into this vampire dude with his harem of vampire women

Yi Jiang

@Sterno I don't think it was part of the quest description, so it might just be a random event, like the zoo

Raven Dreamer

Well, I can now run arbitrary patterns of Beats in my Bit Trip Beat clone!

Sterno

12:52 AM

@YiJiang There are definitely random sub-bosses that are (I think) unique to a dungeon, but don't always show up

When you enter a new dungeon level, sometimes you'll see some special text

which indicates that there's a sub-boss

GnomeSlice

Oh, you ignored me. =[

Tim Stone

@James I wasn't paying full attention and heard the noise at the beginning of the video and started looking for chat notifications >_>

James

@TimStone Haha, Yeah I was thinking about restarting but then went Nah :)

Wipqozn

Tim Stone

:D

GnomeSlice

12:56 AM

@James Is this what you're building the Arena Generating Mod off of?

@Wipqozn Lol.

James

@GnomeSlice Nope but I think that terrain would make an awesome Game On in UHC

GnomeSlice

@James I'm still not entirely sure what UHC is. Isn't it the exact same as normal Minecraft? Survive as long as you can?

James

Ultra HardCore means you dont heal and we consider the game over for you if you die

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice + Limited map size + PVP

James

@Wipqozn Technically that was only what they did in the third season of ultra hard core.

Seasons 1 and 2 they teamed up to try and take down the Ender Dragon with those settings

Wipqozn

12:58 AM

@James ah okay.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn But PVP is part of normal Minecraft.

...What the hell is a 'Saracen'?

James

@GnomeSlice Was just the rules for the game was all

Last man standing won

GnomeSlice

That sounds like it could go on for a very long time.

James

Same as the rules for tomorrow
