btw Firefall has its own SE knockoff, Athena. I guess that's not a bad name.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone neat
 
It even comes with a tutorial.
And, apparently, you'll get in-game rewards for reputation at some point.

A: Support https for embedded YouTube links

Geoff DalgasWe will support https links to youtube after the next build.

 
One thing I kind of like is how they renamed "commenting" to "assisting"
That might not be a terrible idea.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I got "Excellent"
 
12:03 AM
@badp It's also interesting that there's an inline excerpt of the accepted answer on hover.
Though that's more of a UI thing
 
@OrigamiRobot Yay. Now to fix that pesky underscore bug.
 
@OrigamiRobot I couldn't reach that level and stopped at "Above Average." shrug
 
@badp I just filled out all the sections.
 
@OrigamiRobot I guess you picked more games.
 
Filling in your contact details nets you an 'average'
Presumably the more Elder Scroll games and MMOs you've played previously, the better your chances
 
12:11 AM
@BenBrocka That sounds amazing.

Q: Hotline Miami: What does 'Exposure' Mean?

ChilledJordanI'm trying to get better scores but I can only get A- because I get alot of exposure stats when I complete a stage. What does it mean? Exposure to the dead bodies/gore? or am I not going behind walls and just staying in the open too much?

 
@badp sounds like it works for the Gunzerker skill which makes you regen ammo or whatever when your shields are lower as well
 
@BenBrocka Yeah, I imagine. It's not nearly as exciting however.
 
The bonuses for the other classes did seem less fun. But it might be worth it just to be able to run around ridiculously fast. Complicates my skill build though
also, apparently the Tresspasser sniper rifle ignores shields, I guess I should have suspected that, given the name
 
12:27 AM
Ahhh, Joman is getting married!
This is awesome...

A: Let's stop displaying a user's accept rate

Kevin MontroseStarting with the next build accept rate will no longer be shown. We're still keeping track of it on the backend for various things, but the negative behavior its display encourages outweighs its benefits.

I guess @kalina don't have to worry about this anymore
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Negative behavior?
 
the "OMG Y U NO ACCEPT ANSERS"
It's more of a problem on SO than elsewhere
 
@OrigamiRobot Anyone asking a question with less than 70% accept rate will usually get at least one comment reminding them to accept answers
I mean, that's what the thing was designed to do, but it's working a little too well
 
12:43 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It's really annoying.
I have a few unaccepted questions, but that's because I didn't get a satisfactory answer to them.
 
I don't get them, since I have 20k rep :P
And if you flag them they'll vanish automatically I think
'accept rate' is one of the trigger words for automatic comment deletion on flagging

Q: What determines plot availability?

kotekzotI want to give X3AP a go, but a game of X3 is a big undertaking and I don't want to have to start all over again after discovering that some seemingly inconsequent decision I made 50 hours ago means I can't get the PHQ or something. What determines if I get access to particular plots? Do some sta...

 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It's one of those things where in theory it's neat, but the social aspect + overzealous users ruins it. SO gets a lot of "accept my answer" begging too
 
If you know any 9-10 year old kids, there is a non-zero chance that Ignition (Remix) was involved in their existence.
That's today's episode of Congratulations on Being Old.
 
12:54 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Make more pony scripts to flood my Chrome! =D

He's Big, and a Mac Enthusiast. He might be Enthusiastic about Big Macs. His Enthusiasm for Macs could be described as Big.

He is rather... broad
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'd love to know if that title arrangement was purposeful.

Q: How to use thunder storm?

GajooI've found that combination based on how good it was hidden I thought it should be a very powerful spell, and it is. to call rain and lots of thunder strike! the problem is every time I try using that combination I end up killing my self twice and killing no enemies! so I'm wondering if there ...

 
1:30 AM
So duplicates now say [duplicate] instead of just [closed]?
 
@Fluttershy I don't see it
 
Oh my God, it's working.
Finally.
My internet.
 
I went to try and edit that, and [duplicate] wasn't in the actual title. O_o
 
Hmm, apparently so. I don't find them while searching though
 
@Fluttershy yep, closed dupes resolve to that now
 
1:33 AM
> 2013-01-22: A question closed as a duplicate now gets a " [duplicate]" appended to its title, rather than just " [closed]".
 
@Fluttershy And accept rate is no longer shown. It's an exciting day!
 
It is good day to be giant man
 
Oh man. Scale.

Q: What are the colored bars?

Scott SzretterI was playing Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock for XBOX 360, and when I added a second guitar / player, during the concert, one player had the normal notes flowing down, but the other player had these strange color bars. The bars flow down to the music, and it seems like you have to press the butto...

Q: Skyrim maximum carry capacity

Scott MarshallIn Skyrim, What is the absolute maximum carry capacity for the player? Just by leveling up and level perks and without potions, spells, enchantments. Is there a known limit?

 
1:50 AM
@BenBrocka That's pretty awesome. =3
 
user15026
@Fluttershy I am a big fan of it. It is a nice way to know better what is going on with a question :)
 
@AshleyNunn This is true. =D
 
user15026
Augh, dear book blogs stop telling me about terrific new books and making me want ot buy them allll when I have a reading backload ten miles long
 
user15026
Also dear cat stop stepping on my ereader and turning the pages
 
@AshleyNunn Come now, don't be silly. You now the cat will never stop doing that.
 
user15026
1:57 AM
@Wipqozn This is true but a girl can dream (or distract the cat with catnip)
 
Woah, Travel.SE finally got a design!
 
Nice and simple. I like it.
 
oh, neat.
 
user15026
@Wipqozn I agree. I think it really suits the site. Feels like a fancy bus station or airport or something, in terms of what I think their signs and stuff would look like.
 
4 hours ago, by OrigamiRobot
@GnomeSlice Ewww it's all roundy.
 
2:06 AM
@OrigamiRobot FLCL!
 
blargh. enjin is down
they have mini outages almost constantly it seems, but right now they're down big time. I could make a more reliable system running IIS 4.0 on Win95
 
@allquixotic I like this guys gravatar. He understands the awesomeness of the Tortoise.
 
turtle
 
*yawn*
This is... weird
 
user15026
2:19 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone weird is a good word for it, yeah
 
@Wipqozn it's a bit more than tortoise / turtle admiration.
notice the little "button" on the top of my turtle shell?
you say to me, "Hello, mine turtle!"
I say, "Hallo! (:" then I explode. Like a mine.
 
Jamestown only supports local multiplayer, right?
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone ugh even the non-question pages nag you about registering
 
user15026
@BenBrocka I noticed that. I was like.....seriously? Wow.
 
user15026
I mean fine, you want me to join your crazy site, but really? Really?
 
2:25 AM
Yeah, you can skip it, but they've made the site quite obnoxious for non logged in users
 
user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone That they have.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone that's why I deleted my account (ironically enough)
 
on Quora? I never created an account.... I think I read some question linked to off of Atwood's blog about what Jesus' farts might have smelled like, and that settled the SNR question of Quora completely.
 
The thing is, by doing this they also made their site entirely unindexable
When they first did this they used text-shadow and transparent font color
 
user15026
2:27 AM
@allquixotic ......what.
 
I think google still sees it
 
user15026
Either way. it is a shitty user model
 
@BenBrocka Unless they redirect the Googlebot to a different URL, the images don't even have alt attributes
Of course, the text-shadow thing was bad for an entirely different reason
And anyway, giving search engines a different version of your site is definitely not a good idea
 
yeah, it's cloaking or whatever. I thought they still did it, maybe not
they do still show up in search results annoyingly enough. Not often though
 
> This is by design, but remember: Stack Exchange is not a discussion system. It's a question and answer system. If you build your Q&A system like a discussion system, it will devolve into Yahoo Answers, or even worse, Quora. Just kidding Quora. You're great.
 
user15026
2:34 AM
@allquixotic Oh Good Lord
 
@AshleyNunn I didn't want to introduce flatulence into this discussion, but Atwood does have a point, that the question (and its continued existence on Quora) nicely captures the atmosphere of Quora of "anything goes" -- hence the lack of SNR.
 
user15026
@allquixotic I am not entirely surprised, tbh
 
the cat with a boy's face is slightly disturbing, but I'll roll with it...
...because I like cats.
 
@allquixotic Percy is the best
Ugh that reminds me I have a Percy and Pooch print I still haven't hung
 
2:40 AM
I love Sinfest!
 
user15026
@allquixotic I am so happy my cat does not care about toilet paper. He does like the empty tubes though.
 
@AshleyNunn none of the cats I've ever owned have cared about toilet paper -- it's a weird thing -- but I do tend to keep it in high, out-of-reach places where it doesn't simply roll without first knocking it down. I don't store it on the roller.
 
I'm sure all you'd have to do is take their paws and put them on the roll ONCE and from then on, that cat would be permanently scarred, and utterly unable to resist
 
Heeere's Johnny!
@allquixotic My cat did it a couple times so I try and keep him out of the bathroom, but he does'nt do it often
 
2:45 AM
oh, while we're in a funny mood: this is a SU question that, by extremely popular upvote, has avoided the modhammer and hasn't accrued nary a close vote. SU? having fun? unheard of! :D
 
Given slhck recently edited it without deleting I doubt it's going to be mod deleted soon
 
I saw the Skyrim poetry on arqade earlier
@BenBrocka they did burninate my new tag for the question, , though. :-(
I was hoping to start an entire IT industry around EotT
"How do I configure Microsoft Eye of the Tiger Information Server (EotTIS) to run as a frontend for blinkyd?"

Q: Can I Rotate a Part When Placing It?

GnomeSliceI seem to have somehow inverted the camera part on my rawbot. Now when I enter first-person, my view is upside down: No matter how I try detaching and reattaching the top block and the camera, my view is always upside down now when facing forward (It's upright if I put it on backwards).

@allquixotic MIne just doesn't really care about the bathroom. Blankets and hiding spaces are where it's at!
 
@AshleyNunn Horrible timing for Steam to disconnect you. <_<
 
user15026
Steam you went down at the worst time EVER
 
@AshleyNunn Really? My BL2 game didn't go down. Mind you I just left it.
 
user15026
It is likely my internet.
 
Speaking of leaving, it's bed time
 
3:13 AM
BL2 only boots you from online games if you're not the host
 
@BenBrocka I wasn't
 
oh, huh. And my steam's working too, though it disconnected earlier
 
enjin.com is still down >_>
 
Apparently one or more convicts escaped right by my house.
 
You live next to a jail?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz is that Maureen from Full Throttle on the right?!
 
@allquixotic What?
You mean in the little set of thumbnails? Pretty sure that's Belle from beauty and the beast.
 
>_> oh...
somehow it reminded me of Maureen from Full Throttle.

user15026
@Ullallulloo Whaaaat
 
3:34 AM
@AshleyNunn Yep. Got a rifle with a fully loaded clip right next to me though, and the house is all locked-up.
 
user15026
@Ullallulloo Well, that's good, I suppose.
 
@AshleyNunn 'murica!
 
user15026
@Ullallulloo grins In a way, that statement (about the gun) reminds me of my sister's boyfriend, who always carries his gun and his butchering kit in his truck so he can shoot whatever is in season whenever.
 
@AshleyNunn Sounds like a plan.
 
user15026
@Ullallulloo He is also the one who made me squirrel pot pie and it was so tasty
 
3:43 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz English Defense League and Curry, ahahahaha
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone On the one hand, some are funny, but the gay men in tehran search legitimately worries me.
 
how come half the stars are image? Aren't people saying anything funny when out of context anymore?
 
Yesh. So does the relatives of Falungong living in China one.
Facebook is blocked in China itself though
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Because Chinese police looking to investigate people for sedition are really restricted by The Great Firewall.
 
@AshleyNunn is there time-sensitive stuff in HM ANB? I'm having performance anxiety or something. What if my farm isn't absolutely perfect the first time?
 
3:52 AM
TIL how cool Hasbro really is.
 
@Fluttershy Because they are trying to appeal to the grognard market?
 
user15026
@BenBrocka Not as far as I know, other than like contests and stuff, but those are yearly. @fbueckert might know better.
 
@Fluttershy In what way?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz The wha-No.... <_<
@murgatroid99 Apparently, Hasbro's stated that they have no intention of ever filing takedown notices for their shows/media. They see it as free advertising. =P
 
4:02 AM
@Fluttershy Oh. Because they are.
 
I BEAT FTL AGAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNN
 
@Fluttershy The funny thing is that a couple of days ago they took down all episodes and derived works from YouTube
 
@OrigamiRobot I made it to the flagship today. I had no missile launcher, so I was pretty screwed.
 
@Fluttershy I didn't use a missile launcher this time
 
@murgatroid99 =( Oh. Well... Those liars.
 
4:03 AM
@murgatroid99 They added the video to YouTube's ContentID system.
 
@OrigamiRobot I had an ion cannon and a blaster mk ii
 
@Fluttershy I used a boarding party to take out their missiles
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Which resulted in the outcome I just described
 
@OrigamiRobot I didn't have a teleporter.
 
@Fluttershy yeah was gonna say they like JUST did the opposite
 
4:06 AM
3 mins ago, by Fluttershy
@murgatroid99 =( Oh. Well... Those liars.
 
@murgatroid99 Of course, everything's still around somewhere, as long as you look hard enough
 
@Fluttershy The problem really seems to be that YouTube's ContentID system is way overzealous
 
The latest episode was uploaded almost immediately, and the uploader got around ContentID by simply snipping out the 30 second intro
 
@murgatroid99 I don't even know what YouTube's ContentID system is.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone The big problem is with fan works like Friendship is Witchcraft
 
4:08 AM
@Fluttershy Basically, media companies upload their content onto YouTube, and YouTube matches videos to the uploaded content
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone @Fluttershy and automatically blocks matched videos
 
@murgatroid99 or automatically add ads to those videos
 
> Even Valery Rizzo, who teaches a class in iPhone food photography
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz what.
 
4:10 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I actually just guessed that Hasbro had not yet added the newest episode immediately
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It seems to just block them. See youtube.com/watch?v=tIfHKfyRO5Y
 
@murgatroid99 Only for those in the US.
The content owners have a great deal of control over what they can do with videos found by the system to be infringing
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I learned two things today! =D
 
@Fluttershy Three things if you didn't know what a grognard is!
 
Remember that the system heavily favors content creators. As a fully automated system, it is also impossible for it to recognise fair use content
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I learned three things today! =D
 
4:28 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone The part that really bugs me is that if you appeal once, it automatically denies the appeal. You have to appeal twice just to have a chance of doing anything.

@Lazers By design

@galacticninja Yes, but the Community user's edits don't count. Not, at least, for as long as I remembered

What's your timezone?
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It speaketh.
AKST.
 
Oh wow, you're 17 hours away
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Woooooo.
Or, y'know, 7, depending on how you look at it.
 
I'm sorry, I can't hear you all the way here in the future
 
Yeah?
Well guess what?
 
8:01 AM
The future is brilliant! We've got flying cars and shit
 
Tell me more.
(Just so you know, if I don't have a flying car in 17 hours, I'll be extremely frustrated.)
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Where are you, anyway?
 
<--- Click, open profile
 
Yes, yes.
I did that.
Singapore.
How's, y'know, Singapore?
 
It's warm. Really warm compared to Alaska.
 
You don't say. -___-
86 degrees.
 
8:11 AM
It's like that all year round
 
At 1 degree north, I kind of expected so.
 
It also rains. A lot. On average, you get a heavy downpour every other day
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Gee, with all this warmth and rain and buildings over ten stories, maybe I should move there.
 
It's kind of crowded
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Like I care? I'm inside all day.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Granted, that may affect immigration's stance on another American wanting in, but hey.
I hear it's clean there at least.
 
8:17 AM
Oh yes, very. Very clean.
Possibly because the rain washes away a lot of the dust
Possibly because of the $500 fine for getting caught littering (though seriously, that only exists on paper. In my more than 10 years living here I've never seen anyone actually getting caught)
 
How many people have you seen littering, though?
I mean, we have fines like that in the US, and look at how effective that's been.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Ha, it always surprises me how little other countries want in Uni tuition compared to here.
i.e. Singapore isn't terrible.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone A good friend of mine travels to Singapore regularly on business, and always comes back singing its praises.
 
If only I had any faith in having an international degree, I might consider foreign study somewhere.
But, considering I'd probably return to the US afterwards, it might present more problems than it's worth.
 
8:29 AM
It might not be too bad. The National University of Singapore is considered the second best university in Singapore, according to some entirely arbitrary rating scale
 
I suppose there's always the year-abroad programs anyway.
Those sometimes offer relevant financial aid, too, partially to help cover the fact that "coming home for the holidays" suddenly becomes a multi-thousand-dollar affair.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Ugh, the dubbing isn't very good in this game
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I ran the numbers and apparently they only want about 9700USD yearly for someone in my position. That's pretty damn affordable. ._.
 
8:44 AM
Hmm.
Apparently if I took two more courses, I'd be eligible for a fancy internationally-recognized You're-probably-a-good-candidate certificate.
For Uni that is.
Tempting.

Q: Satchels are not giving journals

Theo ScholiadisI would like to know why sometimes I find a satchel (like the Hunter's Satchel), and even though I haven't collected all of them (i.e. I might have missed one on the way), it only provides me with Gold.
