3:00 PM
I actually have one of what is arguably the largest hat in Team Fortress 2... the Magnanimous Monarch.
Having said that, larger hats in TF2 are not necessarily better.
 
Now meta has 12px font-size too :p
 
I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT THE NEW TOP BAR IS A FAILURE AND @JIN SHOULD BE ASHAMED
 
If I get 500 rep by the end of the day and don't get serial reversed tomorrow I will upload a pick of my hair after it has been dyed purple
@OrigamiRobot I like the new top bar
 
@Powerlord It doesn't look sufficiently giant to me
 
@PrivatePansy that's what she said
 
3:01 PM
@kalina Provoking for 500 bounty?
 
@kalina I JUST WANTED AN EXCUSE TO PING @JIN
 
@OrigamiRobot @JIN BROUGHT THE TRANSPARENCY BACK TO RPG.SE ALL IS FORGIVEN.
 
@3ventic it's actually impossible to get 500 rep in a day without prior planning
 
@PrivatePansy Well, there are really only 3 large hats in TF2: Magnanimous Monarch, Towering Pillar of Hats, and Towering Titanium Pillar of Hats.
 
boo
@kalina Or a random bounty
 
3:02 PM
nobody needs an excuse to ping @Jin
 
If I get 500 rep by the end of the day I will upload a pic of me grinding the skulls of my enemies to dust beneath my heel
 
@boo which has a cooldown after it has been placed before it can be given out
 
boo
@kalina Well yes
 
We'll just have to define that the day = a week from now
2
 
boo
@BenBrocka Can accept votes be serially reversed?
@3ventic Valve Time
 
3:03 PM
@3ventic 5k rep in a week and I'll post a picture of me with purple hair
 
One of those is exceedingly rare since it could only be gotten by donating $100 to Japan's Tsunami relief in 2011 and the other two are relatively common.
 
@Powerlord Awww... the Towering Pillar is relatively common?
 
@Yuki Key word being relatively, since hats are rare drops in TF2.
 
What about if it's Vintage?
 
3:05 PM
♫ I love this record baby but I can't see straight anymore ♫
 
But yes, as an all class hat, it is common. Vintage, less common.
 
And here I thought it was my most valuable hat.
 
Towering Titanium Pillar of Hats is probably the least rare just because of how everyone was opening Robocrates to try to get unusual hats when they came out and it likely flooded the market.
 
nobody cares about TF2
 
@kalina Hat Fortress 2
 
3:06 PM
@kalina You shouldn't call yourself nobody.
 
@Powerlord I'm not talking about me
 
I'm nobody
I care about TF2
 
no
 
@3ventic So it was you that blinded Polyphemus?
You'll pay for your crimes.
 
@OrigamiRobot The item in the binding of isaac?
 
3:08 PM
@3ventic ...
 
If not, that must have been some other nobody
 
FAE
@3ventic ...:|
 
morning @FAE
 
@Yuki Anyway, I could look at your backpack and see which I thought was the rarest most valuable, but no guarantees that I'd be right about that.
 
Somebody didn't read the Odyssey...
 
3:08 PM
@FAE This looks weird.
 
I didn't, but I do know about it
 
FAE
@kalina Good afternoon!
Ugh, it's been rainy and hailing and windy all day.
 
@Yuki In his defense, I think it was "no man"
 
but I do play a lot more games than I read books or memorize ancient stories...
 
3:09 PM
@3ventic Odysseus gave his name to the cyclops as "nobody" or "no man"
 
@OrigamiRobot Madonna blinded him with a cone-bra to the eye
 
So Polyphemus was yelling "Nobody has blinded me!"
 
@FAE same
 
Indie bundle > not-so-indie bundle > store seems to be the chain of the year
 
3:10 PM
cold
 
That is pretty cold.
 
@JasonBerkan It's positive 32 degrees Celsius here
 
it's 0 degrees here
 
@PrivatePansy Don't make me cry.
The tears will freeze to my face.
 
You could just take a nice relaxing holiday to the equator, where I live
 
3:12 PM
@OrigamiRobot It depends on the translation, but the meaning is the same.
 
Oh, and no storms or hurricanes either. There is a lot of rain, though, which makes the temperature rather pleasant
 
> Odysseus tells him "Οὖτις", which means "no one".
 
boo
@JasonBerkan wow
 
> Οὖτις, in capitals ΟΥΤΙΣ, from οὔτις "nobody" or "no one"
or
When translating, you can't say that one word is definitively another word. Translation doesn't work like that.
 
I'm not arguing with you...
 
3:14 PM
> A somewhat better analogy might be "My neighbour's house was broken into because they had poor quality locks on the door, so I'm going to change my locks for better models." The quality of your silverware is unrelated to the actions being taken.
I lolled at this analogy about the FSF's latest press release
 
Apparently IE 11 is an important update.
 
yes, yes it is
 
@Yuki Nothing I have said was intended to contradict you. The original "in his defense" was a joke because it's a trivial distinction. The later message was just to provide the actual greek
 
@PrivatePansy I wish I was there
and it's above freezing here
 
3:17 PM
@fbueckert Most importantly, that means computers would install it automatically
 
@OrigamiRobot But I like arguing pointless matters with people who are actually agreeing with me!
 
@PrivatePansy Which is stupid.
 
@fbueckert IE 11 is a pretty important upgrade
 
@fbueckert Every other browser does that already
 
10 -> 11 is a completely whole number difference. That's big.
 
3:18 PM
Not to mention that the optional update Bing Desktop keeps coming back, even after I've told it I don't want it anymore.
 
@fbueckert Updating IE automatically is VERY important. IE6 wouldn't matter nearly as much if IE did auto updates years ago
 
@PrivatePansy But it does it through the browser, not windows updates.
 
@fbueckert Even after you ignore it? I've never had ignored ones come back
 
@BenBrocka Yup. Keeps coming back.
 
@fbueckert MS hasn't gotten onto the "I'll update it without even telling you" bandwagon that Firefox and Chrome are on yet.
 
3:19 PM
@BenBrocka @fbueckert didn't actually click the ignore button. He just told it to go away in a stern manner.
 
Well I ignored the language packs. Maybe a new version resets the ignore status?
 
@Powerlord I'm a little ambivalent about how I feel about that. On one hand, I definitely don't complain about my browser updating anymore. On the other hand, it feels icky that I'm not being told when my software wants/needs an update.
 
@Yuki problem is when you tell people there's an update they generally ignore it
 
@BenBrocka As my iTunes can attest to, but that's mostly because I don't like spending time to update software that I don't use anymore but am too lazy to uninstall.
 
iTunes updates are irrelevant though. Out of date browsers hurt everyone

Currently in definition.

log in for the first time in a while, first thing I see is @kalina talking about balls....sounds like everything is normal here.

I love how ranks work in the army. In around two week's time, I'll become a local 3rd sergeant, with all the powers and responsibilities of one, but will only be allowed to draw specialist cadet pay
 
boo
@PrivatePansy Sergeant Pansy?
 
3:26 PM
@boo No alliteration, no go
 
boo
@PrivatePansy What other alliterative ranks might you obtain?
 
Major Major Major Major
 
"Pilot"?
 
@PrivatePansy Sergeant Sunflower?
 
@Yuki I'm still pissed at Plant vs. Zombie 2

@kalina Well how dare you ignore the command of the RNG?

@GnomeSlice
 
@kalina Why are they referring to the future in the past tense?
 
@kalina enjoy
 
RNG is now known as RNJesus
 
Oh wait, read 11 as 12.

My bad.

Q: How can I use a 'plastic sled'?

GnomeSliceI just found an plastic sled in NEO Scavenger. It's been a while since I've played it, and the developer has been adding shit like crazy, so this is an object I haven't seen before. On closer inspection it appears to be a 'container' item, which means you can use it to carry other items. I can...

 
FAE
@PrivatePansy This now makes me think of Mordin and in turn makes me sad.
 
It's a shame they canceled Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip after a single season.

3:33 PM
Then again, the same network was doing that and 30 Rock at the same time.
 
@Jin looooooooool
 
FAE
@Jin ...ha
 
@Jin I like the new design, myself.
 
@FAE I was actually expecting @kalina to say that, but then I realized that would involve @kalina feeling something other than boredom.
 
buying stuff on google play is dangerously easy
@Jin I like the new design and functionality, I just think the bar could do with being slightly thinner
 
3:35 PM
But is it dangerously cheesy?
Eh I like the bit of negative space at top and bottom. It's already getting closed to cramped
 
Jin
it's really hard to pick a consistent look of the topbar that works on all SE sites
that's why we went with a black-ish color.
 
@Jin Very much so.
 
the only other issue is, the font on the top bar works well on like SO
 
@Jin It's easy: invisible. Works with all sites!
 
but the font on the top bar is bigger than pretty much every font that Arqade uses
 
Jin
3:36 PM
@kalina when I have time, I'll revisit each SE site and fix css and styling
it's on my todo.txt
 
it's not a real criticism, there's only one of you and over a hundred sites
 
Jin
arqade has plenty css issues I want to fix. it's one of the oldest sites launched, I was a noob back then
6
 
there's bound to be oddities
 
Honestly, I think a much higher level of transparency will blend better

Q: The topbar's greatest injustice: Inconsistent font size

Tim StoneEveryone has their own set of gripes about the redesigned top bar, but they're all neglecting the most egregious issue: Look at that inconsistent positioning*! The icons are shifted whole pixels because the computed font size for the top bar is inconsistent across the network. On some sites, s...

 
3:38 PM
uh oh looks like it's !important time
 
Or rather, better on a site with dark background
 
@PrivatePansy It is very dominate in the header.
 
Jin
@TimStone why is the first screenshot blurred?
 
@Jin It's true, you should have started the design with lazers instead of finishing it with them. But it's okay, we still <3 you and will invite you over for bacon.
 
Jin
i mean the icons
 
3:38 PM
@Jin I overlayed one on top of the other.
 
(Just tried it on SO, doesn't work so well there with a completely white background)
 
It's actually 0,0,0,0.8 instead of 0.75
 
Jin
@TimStone ok i'll look into it
 
Hooray!
 
Maybe two sets of colors, one for light and one for dark backgrounds
 
Jin
3:39 PM
@3ventic i tried 0.75 first. but it made white sites like SO's topbar too light gray
i may look tweak individual site's topbar transparency. but it try to just use one. the point of the new topbar is that it should look the same across all sites.
 
@Jin Yeah having a hundred custom settings won't be hard to maintain at all. :P
 
@Jin solid black would be fine if it was slightly thinner
 
@Jin thought as much
0.8 is a good balance
 
@RedRiderX Well, each of those sites already constitutes a custom setting of sorts, so...
 
@PrivatePansy I guess so yeah.
 
3:41 PM
yeah look at UX's top bar and consider how even higher transparency would look: ux.stackexchange.com
It's already pretty grey
 
sigh, not even lunch time yet, let alone going home time.
 
@Jin is here!
My plan worked
 
Oh, okay
 
boo
@GnomeSlice You fumbled your mushroom?

@boo I dunno, I think I ate it...
Also now that this game is on Steam maybe I can get more of you to play it
 
3:44 PM
 
Jin
@OrigamiRobot I got summoned to death this morning
 
Uh oh, that means you summoned zombie Jin @OrigamiRobot. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!
2
Bridgeadiers, to your battle stations!
 
Dropping the transparency obviously doesn't work well on light background sites, but that's only because of the font colors
 
@TimStone Should I man the lazers or the LAZERS?
 
3:47 PM
That depends on whether he brought zombie friends.
 
@Jin it's fine, you fixed the mothership, that's literally the most important thing on the entire stack exchange network

Jin
@kalina it is the most important thing. it was in the making for like... 1.5year?
so close i can taste it
so glad i bought a shitbucket

@TimStone EVERYTHING IS GOING AS PLANNED
 
I suck at this!

@GnomeSlice At least you're dying accurately?

It's probably for the best
People who like Super Hexagon should get QbQbQb while you can for $0.99 on bundle-in-a-box.com
