STOP NO MORE PONIES
T.T
 
Speaking of which, there's an odd Opera Mobile bug which is prevention me from logging in
 
I would like to request more ponies please.
I can't see them anyway.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Did the ever fix the one where it was rendering non-HTML as HTML?
 
I'm guessing it's a JavaScript error
@TimStone Not sure, let me check that one
 
That was exciting
 
4:04 PM
The bug is fixed
 
\o/

Q: Can I find all magic spells and enchanted items?

user26147My character is a level 32 Heavy Armor, Two-Handed mage. I haven't bought anything but a house. I don't have any follower and I don't want to have one. I'm happy playing like this and I don't want to change it. That's why I don't want to buy magic spells neither enchanted items. I know that soone...

Q: Keeping video settings in CS:GO

emmettEverytime I decreased my visual setting it maximizes the whole settings at every restarts. I dont know if I used a console command unintentionally. How can I solve this?

Q: Date display bug

fredleyI found a bug, viewing my questions sorted by views. Can you see it? If you're having trouble, I'll highlight it for you: May 26th of what year??? This is important!

 
Not that it matters now, being a Presto bug...
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I have 5. Two of them don't count because they're Dragonvale, though. >_>
 
how do you link a question like that?
 
4:06 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I have one
 
Anyway, the bug I see now is when logging in, choosing any of the options will redirect me to /authenticate straight without going though the usually OpenID login and dump me into a "it's our fault" error page
 
Oh, that's fun
 
I assume SE's login system can handle JS-less situations?
Let me try mobile view
 
Someone reported earlier that stub.js has a console.log() statement in it, I dunno if Opera Mobile chokes on those or not.
 
Unlikely. It's only the login page that's giving me the error
 
4:08 PM
Ah, then no.
 
@OrigamiRobot Stuff should be in the mail today or tomorrow.
 
@djsmiley2k If you link a question in chat (and only the URL with no other text whatsoever) it'll get oneboxed.
 
Apparently I can just have work mail things for me!
 
Mobile doesn't work either
 
Also works with images, wikipedia links, Amazon, XKCD cartoons, and chat quotes.
 
4:09 PM
@TimStone I was wondering about that report. Shouldn't Firefox choke on that too?
 
FAE
@LessPop_MoreFizz And twitter
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Hmm?
 
And twitter and youtube.
Almost forgot those.
I think that's the full list though.
 
Firefox without Firebug wouldn't handle calls to the console object properly, right?
Stack Exchange blog. GitHub gists. Comments on posts too.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Firefox has a console, it's just super crappy.
 
4:12 PM
Oh yeah, that one. It's gotten better now. Well, slightly
I'm actually slightly torn on whether I should oblige @OrigamiRobort
 
Oh, good
I can download Towns without Steam/Desura
 
Ugh ebay is a sea of fake and off brand gamecube controllers
 
@SaintWacko What? If I can't download a game using Steam it turns me off it.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Hmm...I wonder why that could be. It's supposed to submit to that URL, and then you should be redirected to your OpenID provider.
 
@TimStone I think that's only IE. Most browsers recognize console.log...even IE, just only when it's in development mode
 
4:20 PM
Yeah, that's obnoxious
 
thanks lesspop
 
@TimStone Which is suppose to be handled by JS, so I suspect there's a JS error in there somewhere
 
Wassat?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz It still doesn't work with soundcloud :sadface:
 
@StrixVaria You can download it through Steam, too, but in this case I want to put it on my flash drive
 
4:23 PM
The authentication route returns a 302 to your OpenID provider. The form should work as-is with or without JavaScript, except if the form is getting submitted without an OpenID provider URL for some reason. Even in the no-JS scenario you should be able to enter it manually and submit the form just fine.
 
The redirection to the provider. I don't see the providers login page at all
 
PLEASE HELP ME
I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING REALLY BAD
PERTAINING TO HALF LIFE 2 EPISODE 3
 
Anyone else play Towns?
Stop
Stop talking
 
In Gears of War 3
 
STOP
 
4:26 PM
Someone dies
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone The redirection to the provider is handled by the server because it has to generate a signed request to prevent response spoofing.
 
In Halo 3, someone else dies
 
AERIS DIES
 
You have just managed to spoil bits of two games I haven't played
 
My point is that in Half Life 2 Episode 3, will Gordon Freeman die?
or Alyx
 
4:26 PM
@Retrosaur They're probably making Half Life 3 instead.
 
No, because Valve is not EA
 
or Dog. or Barry.
 
@Retrosaur Flip a coin
 
Coins aren't 4 sided though
if they were, then hooray
 
@Retrosaur Flip it twice.
Binary FTW.
 
4:27 PM
@TimStone Okay, so how in the world does the browser skip that
 
Although I'd probably have to get a Gordon Freeman coin to do it
 
Man... I'm super glad @Retrosaur just spoiled all those games I haven't finished yet.
4
 
No problem @Fluttershy, no problem!
 
@Fluttershy +1
 
A pleasure.
You know what, it's too late
 
4:28 PM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It's not, the problem is happening on the first submission to /users/authenticate
 
IN SUPER MONKEY BALL 3
 
@Retrosaur Now I feel like I wasted $60 on Assassin's Creed III.
 
@Fluttershy So much this
 
You know in Arqade, Retrosaur dies
 
Pretty sure @Retrosaur is going on the ignore list soon.
 
4:29 PM
@StrixVaria Done did it.
 
@Fluttershy The game is about Connor, not Derpmond
 
It seems likely that it's not passing openid_identifier somehow, which could happen because of a JavaScript error if you aren't typing it in.
 
I love when all the messages by a user just shrink away.
 
Y'all wanna explain to me how those two were "offensive" (for a reasonable definition of "offensive")?
 
It's so satisfying.
@voretaq7 Spoilers, ruining the games for people who haven't played them yet.
2
 
4:29 PM
@Retrosaur if you're thinking of attempting to dig yourself out of the hole you're getting yourself into, I'd suggest just changing subject
 
He's trolling.
 
Wasn't there a post somewhere about not going into other rooms and questioning their flagging?
3
 
@Fluttershy Also yes, this.
 
@TimStone I tried the typing in OpenID provider URL manually option too
Didn't work
 
Trolling? I'm proposing a theory I believe may be linked to Half Life 3
 
4:30 PM
@Fluttershy if you want 'em handled it helps to know why you're flagging them as offensive
 
Would asking how to install mods in Towns be off topic?
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Weird O_o
 
Spoilers? That's offensive? Someone here explain how spoilers are offensive
 
@Retrosaur In a gaming chat, I find that very offensive
 
@voretaq7 The messages were likely flagged because he was spamming the room with spoilers for high profile games.
 
4:31 PM
Harry gets the philosopher's stone OH NO I MUST HAVE OFFENDED VERY VERY SENSITIVE PEOPLE
 
I'll try again with JS disabled
 
...and now they're gone. Now y'all play nice
 
@votertaq7 I was presenting a theory
 
I will not miss his messages.
 
Too late, we already read them :(
 
4:32 PM
That in most game sequels ending in 3
 
@Retrosaur you're still trying to dig yourself out of said hole
 
Some major character key to the game
ends up dying
 
@Retrosaur last chance!
 
Halo 4 did the same, although the same can be said for halo 3, halo 2, and halo 1
 
very well
 
4:32 PM
You think I"m trying to dig my way out of a hole?
 
not much thinking, it's fairly obvious to everybody except you
 
I haven't made any spoilers yet
 
@Fluttershy For the record I'd happily leave you guys to your own devices, but unfortunately when people raise flags it pings every mod and every 10K user on the chat network
 
Weird, Opera Mobile doesn't appear to have the option to disable JS
 
there haven't been that many flags in a row since the last time GnomeSlice was active
 
4:34 PM
Sorry for posting two spoilers that ruined the endings for people who played Assassins Creed 3 or Dead Space 3
 
@StrixVaria I left my cards at home...
 
@voretaq7 We know
 
@voretaq7 we know, we see everybody elses flags.
 
@voretaq7 Please explain how this is offensive.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone anyway I'm off to get coffee... and also you all suck because now I want to play AC3 but I'm stuck at work.
 
4:35 PM
I've already apologized for those two spoilers
 
@voretaq7 Scroll up if you wanna see how it ends.
 
But is there any reason to flag anything elsse?
 
@Fluttershy I've seen the ending, I was underwhelmed by it honestly - but the game still panders to my lust for violence :-)
 
@Retrosaur drop it and move on, please. the community said "don't do this" and you should probably listen.
 
@Retrosaur yes, it's general courtesy to not jump into a channel full of gamers and start randomly mentioning key plot points for games
 
4:37 PM
/me fires some lasers out of his eyes.
 
@kalina I made a bad mistake about spoiling the first two games
 
and everybody else, let's move on, shall we? have I hit my quota for cat pictures yet today?
 
some people in here actively avoid everything to do with a game so they can enjoy the story
 
But I just wanted to present a theory in which I thought may apply to games with the number 3 in them
 
@agent86 nope
 
4:37 PM
Can I explain it WITHOUT spoilers?
or will that be offensive as well
 
0
Q: Is there a minimum rep needed to become an Arqade moderator?

RetrosaurQuestion says it all. Is there a minimum rep needed or minimum gold badge needed to become an Arqade Moderator?

 
What's wrong with being offended
 
@Retrosaur stahp. wat r u doin? RETROSAUR PLS
 
:C
 
4:38 PM
@Retrosaur you could explain it to people who want to have the conversation, but since half the channel put you on ignore already you're going to struggle to meet that criteria
 
I can talk to myself can't i
 
no
 
Or will I offend myself
 
Yes?
 
4:38 PM
I'm also deeply worried about how badly you want to become a mod
 
You can make your own room and people who want to discuss it can join in.
 
@Retrosaur if you want to talk to yourself, try notepad. the interface is very similar, and nobody else can read it.

@OrigamiRobot o hai there, no more caps? I liek yuo
 
So is Dumbledore dying a spoiler
 
@agent86 Unless they sneak in.
 
4:39 PM
eugh
I haven't finished watching Harry Potter
 
SO many people have already read the books
 
@kalina I finished with AutoCAD, but I'm about to start up again.
 
You said that for the sake of argument
 
oh seriously
 
And no, I wasn't referring to the movies
 
4:39 PM
how is the troll still here?
 
@kalina Have you read any of them?
 
Now I'm feeding him :/
 
@agent86 normally GnomeSlice would have been banned by now, what gives?
 
@djsmiley2k Click on name, choose 'ignore this user (everywhere)'
 
Aw man, I feel bad for @jmfsg.
 
4:40 PM
@Fluttershy read the first two
I have the others, I just haven't read them yet
 
@kalina You stopped right as they were getting good! =P
 
@Retrosaur Oh put it back in the deck
 
@Fluttershy EVE interrupted my life
I only have enough brain function to breathe and EVE
 
@Fluttershy Yeah, book three is much better than the first two
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Yes it is. Book 5 was my favorite. Dunno why so many people hated it...
 
4:42 PM
Stop flagging stupid things.
8
 
@Retrosaur You guys are aware that everybody on SE chat with 10k+ rep receives notifications when you flag messages?
 
@OrigamiRobot THEY AREN'T STUPID UNLESS @StrixVaria SAYS THEY'RE STUPID
 
once the initial learning process has completed and I know EVE, I can begin reintegrating myself into society
@jippie yawn...
 
@jippie Really old news
 
@jippie With great fake power comes unwanted responsibility
 
4:42 PM
12 mins ago, by Fluttershy
Wasn't there a post somewhere about not going into other rooms and questioning their flagging?
 
I just hate the way I can't see whats going on :<
 
@jippie We are aware. We go over this on a regular basis.
 
/me ignores anyway.
 
@Retrosaur Given your frequent questions about moderator positions and how they're acquired, it behooves me to say that asking very basic questions that could be answered by reading the existing documentation on the subject (which you have been pointed to in the past), does not bode well for any future ambitions you might have towards the position.
Just sayin'.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I want to star this so bad, but it's too long to fit properly in the star list
 
4:45 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz This applies to every question then.
 
He's got a point
 
I've been saying that for 7 months now
 
@Retrosaur I'm going to give you some advice that you're likely to ignore - go do something else for an hour or so, and then come back.
 
people only care about simple questions when I raise them
 
urgh ifeel like my head is exploding. This is bad times (tm)
 
4:46 PM
this road does not lead to pretty fields with unicorns.
 
You know what, you're right, I'll leave. But I"ll say this, every question on Arqade can be answered by external sources. I see no reason to bring the argument "basic question" into this
 
@agent86 And pegasi!
Pegasuses?
 
@Fluttershy pegasi
 
@Retrosaur It's not about 'external sources'. I'm talking about Meta here. And I'm talking about reading a page that has been linked to you on several occasions to answer your previous inquiries on the subject.
 
@Fluttershy I think pegasi, although I think the pural of virus is not virii
 
4:48 PM
Sorry, @LessPop ♪
@Fluttershy Pegaseuss
 
I find latin pluralization to be weird, but I also suck at language.
 
@GraceNote wat
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz If it makes you feel better, though, I had to stop myself from posting two different comments to Juan which are all singing songs whose lyrics consisted of nothing but the word "WRONG".
 
in case you need a long explanation of plurals of things that end in -us, here's a wikipedia article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plural_form_of_words_ending_in_-us
 
I mean, I'm not saying that it's a bad thing to wonder about. I am saying that if your goal is to eventually become a moderator (which is the inference I take from your line of questioning), than not being able to read up all the information which has previously been made available to you on the subject is somewhat of a detriment to my willingness to vote for you, @retrosaur. (And I would suspect that of others).
@GraceNote Oh you declined my flag.
 
4:50 PM
not one-boxing due to the fact that one of their examples is not one I would have picked for a general audience :P
 
@agent86 Anii.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz nods I also favour candidates who run on a platform of literacy.
 
@TimStone Reminder, today, in about 4 and 6 hours.
 
Aye, thanks!
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz little orphan anii? whole new meaning to that...
 
4:51 PM
@TimStone It's like that Interpol song.
"SHE CAN READ SHE CAN READ SHE CAN READ SHE'S BLACK". My ideal candidate in a nutshell. Thanks Paul Banks.
 
@agent86 ... eww
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I know, right?
 
Does someone have an instant cure all for colds? I really don't want to feel this crappy anymore.
 
@MBraedley zinc lozenges!
if you can get them + vitamin C, they are clinically proven to shorten the length of a cold. SCIENCE
well, the vitamin C is bonus. I think the zinc does the work.
 
/me will steal his wife's zinc tonight.
 
4:54 PM
 
@agent86 not lozenges, but tablets. I s'pose it's about time I took another
 
don't buy the expensive ones that look like cough drops, they also sell them in the herbs/vitamin section for way cheaper
I have a friend who swears by afrin although the addictive qualities make me cringe
 
I think it uses blue lazers to scare the sickness right out of your body.
 
I also drink the blue tylenol, which is probably close to tim's rec
 
@agent86 I only get the Jamieson stuff
 
4:55 PM
i might partake in some jack daniels...
 
For those of you whining about Netflix et al outside of the US: Here. Have a solution. Now plz to quit whining.
@djsmiley2k Just don't bother with Makers Mark.
 
my mother once worked for a guy who was hooked on afrin. they said eventually he'd send them out to buy it for him like once a day. knew a guy who was pretty hooked on eye drops too, though, although I don't know why or if he had some reason to be
 
FAE
@agent86 I didn't know you could get addicted to that. o_O
 
@FAE weird, yeah? I think they started like trying to "detox" him by pouring half out and replacing it with saline.
no idea what the end of that story was, this was probably 30-40 years ago
 
this channel has more people in it than usual
 
4:59 PM
Less, bit late :( brought some slightly cheap few weeks ago.... really not smooth at all :<
 
or at least, my user list is showing "..."
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz gah missed the reply button :D
 
@kalina Probably the flags brough people in
 
@djsmiley2k You're probably okay if you bought it a few weeks ago.
@djsmiley2k (I mention this because they just announced that they have begun to water down their bourbon to met demand.)
 
....why? o_O Now I'm worried.
Oh hahah, wait, if its watered down they'd drop the Alc content right?
And wtf, thats pretty nasty.... I don't get why.... its really not that nice. :/
 
5:00 PM
@SaintWacko doesn't look like it
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Why would they announce that? O_o Are they required to? I'd imagine that'd hurt their sales...
 
Well it'd get noticed anyway when the bottles show 42% on them...
Now I'm tempted to keep it for 10 years and be like "EBAY!"
 
@djsmiley2k Yeah, from 45 to 42%.
@Fluttershy Well they're required to note the reduced proof, yeah.
 
@agent86 Can you make a synonym of like suggested in your meta post?
 
Honestly it's moronic. If you can't meet demand, the proper solution is to raise the price, not ruin the product.
 
5:06 PM
So what's that, like 22mL of OH
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I thought so too, but I did some reading. Jim Beam Company makes that too, and some more expensive others...
Also, it might not be the demand, it might be the fact the corn prices have risen 5-6 years ago.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Huh... I wonder if that's why my friend's bottle of Grey Goose froze...
 
But announcing that is bad business.
..... everything freezes if cold enough.
 
@Fluttershy Vodka will freeze if you get it down cold enough.
 
@Ullallulloo apparently I can, and so I did. Huzzah!
 
5:08 PM
This is the amount of alcohol you're losing over the entire bottle of MM: chemistryland.com/Biodiesel/CoffeeBiodiesel/CoffeeOilBeaker.jpg
 
I... might've destroyed a few bottles of expensive craft beer on a hotel balcony during the snowstorm last weekend.
@tiddy That's a lot!
That's a whole shot!
 
@tiddy :o that looks like a lot.
 
Well, okay, half a shot.
 
actually it's 3/4 shot
 
Point is, it's deceptive!
 
5:09 PM
shots are 25 or 35ml here
so yeah, a shot...
 
Shots are an ounce
 
@djsmiley2k That's small.
 
btw this is 42% proof.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz H,mmm ok, thats the legal size here.
 
5:10 PM
A shot glass is a small glass designed to hold or measure spirits or liquor, which is either drunk straight from the glass ("a shot") or poured into a cocktail. A "shot" of liquor is not the same as a "shooter." Shot glasses decorated with a wide variety of toasts, advertisements and humorous pictures are popular souvenirs and collectibles. Name origin The Oxford English Dictionarys first citation for the term "shot glass" is in The New York Times during the 1940s, but several examples exist from the 1930s. However, although it was used by some, the term apparently did not come into c...
Huh. It caries greatly by country, huh.
 
hahah, ok then, I'm talking about shooters.
Known as shot's over here. :)
 
Shots in the US are ~44ml
 
Look, i'm a whisky man. But losing that little over an entire bottle won't keep me up at night. I'm not picky
Except when it comes to scotch
Shit will burn down if glenlivet pulls that move
 
@tiddy Yeah, but I see no reason to reward the practice of literally adding water to the bottle, which is what they're doing. I'd rather just take my business elsewhere on the principle.
Personally, I've been drinking bourbon from a local distillery lately. Kings County Bourbon is prt gud stuff.
 
5:12 PM
I'm rewarding the drink
 
Well I've loved JD since I was youngish...
 
Whyyyyy do I have so many tabs open!?
 
Holy shit South Korea 60ml shot standard.
 
Also, I had no idea they still hand waxed all the caps
 
:O
Sake ftw?
night all o/

@Fluttershy When one tab really loves another tab...

Oh hey, anyone who backed Project Eternity, Chris Avellone started his Let's Play of Arcanum!
@AshleyNunn <_<
 
I use chrome almost exclusively now, but I had firefox open yesterday to use an extension, and noticed they don't really shrink tabs, but add horizontal arrows to scan left or right to view more
What hellish UI choice was that
 
why are we linking shot glasses?
 
FAE
@tiddy I vastly prefer that actually, because I can scroll through with my mouse wheel then. Chrome's tabs shrink to be almost unclickably unusable when you have a lot open.
 
@tiddy Firefox does shrink tabs, but only to a limit.
 
5:17 PM
@tiddy I hope you're being sarcastic there
 
No, I don't want to click more than I have to
 
@FAE They also shrink to a point where you can't even see a favicon or anything. So you never know what page you're gonna get!
 
FAE
@Fluttershy And the "x" ends up floating so it overlaps other tabs slightly.
 
the only time I have that many tabs open is when somebody links me to tvtropes
 
Firefox loses
 
5:18 PM
With the amount of tabs I have open normally they'd be so small you can only see the favicon
 
I kinda prefer the way firefox does tabs
but I like everything else about chrome better
 
That's fantastically useful when I need to open documentation
 
Except for the way ctrl tab works -.-
I don't know what idiot made it not use MRU ordering, or why they refuse to change it despite the clamoring for it, but it was a terrible decision
 
good evening people
 
@Blem hi
 
FAE
5:21 PM
@Blem evenin'!
 
> The official site revealed the next Tomb Raider game will be simply titled Tomb Raider, and described it as a reboot of Lara Croft. This is similar to a move Sega made in 2006, releasing their next Sonic game under the title Sonic the Hedgehog.
Well, shit
Looks like we all know where this is going
 
So apparently there is a exploit in Diablo 3 with Demonic Essences that Blizz missed and made it live. No Blue response so far.
 
WHAT? EXPLOITS IN BLIZZARD GAMES?

falls off chair
 
Apparently KingKongor explained the exploit while streaming live while making off with about 4000 EUROs worth of gold
 
user15026
@fbueckert latest Star Command tweet doesn't make me as hopeful as I think they want it to.
 
5:34 PM
@Krazer that KingKongor sounds like a really good guy >.<

@Sterno that game looks worse and worse
 
@GraceNote ?
 
@Sterno I've heard that game is pretty bad
