@LessPop_MoreFizz see if @GnomeSlice posted that, it would get flagged
 
@MattGiltaji A flag I would decline.
Although, I might argue that the use of the name "Winter Storm Juno" should be flag worthy. Screw the weather channel
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz true, but a flag nonetheless

Q: Is it possible to disable certain weapons (ie: AWP)?

kalinaI am in the process of configuring a Counterstrike: Global Offensive server and I was wondering if it was possible to disable certain weapons (for example, the AWP) or enforce certain weapons under particular conditions like it was in Counterstrike: Source*? * (I do believe it required a mod for...

@Kalina Your self-answer for that question that is deleted for some reason is a valid answer and from what I see, the better option.. [shrug]
 
My team, it's dropping like flies.
Network tech gave notice today, and was escorted out of the building.
 
@Frank Wow
 
One of our Salesforce people is also leaving.
 
@Frank You change passwords and such, sure, but a physical escort seems a bit much O_o
 
12:24 AM
@TimStone Welcome to our boss, who cares more about saving a buck than she does ensuring we can do our jobs.
 
\o....Hm
That is unfortunate.
 
So tomorrow, or whenever I feel better enough to go into work, I'm holding the over a barrel and demanding a massive raise.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz What? No statistics from the Maritimes?
@Frank Print off a stack of resumes on the company printer, and make sure the boss sees it.
 
12:39 AM
@MBraedley Meh. I don't really care. Either I get the raise I want, or I'm going to tell them point blank I'm going to start looking.
And refuse to do the workload except for what my job description was.
And/or go over her head straight to the boss, to tell him what his sister is doing.

Q: Suggested edits not updating

BenBecause a picture is worth a thousand words: The icon indicating how many suggested edits is not updating. I have refreshed the page multiple times, and even opened a new one, but it's always showing "2", no matter what I do. Just thought I should report that.

Q: Creating tags accidentally

BenI asked a question recently, and I wanted to add the tag suggested-edits. I started typing it in, then selected it from the list, but something went wrong and I posted the question with just a tag sugges. And now that tag exists... What's the process here? How does one create a tag, and how is t...

@Frank Always love that.. If they were going to fuck with you they would have done it before they gave notice.
 
@James Yeah, it's going to get interesting in the next few days.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz why was this flagged as spam / offensive?
 
user15026
@TildalWave Likely because it is from PornHub
 
@TildalWave I'm guessing because it's from Pornhub.

Is this real life
 
so many facepalms
 
1:07 AM
Looked like a perfectly normal weather thingy
 
user15026
If you are just here for flags, a recap: A thing from PornHub was posted.
 
@Richard top right corner
 
user15026
It related to weather, sort of.
 
user15026
Move along.
 
So because it's got the word pornhub on it, it got flagged?
* facepalm *
 
1:08 AM
Well I'd have been banned.
 
Wow, that was so worth flagging. Good job protecting the world, whoever flagged it.
You're the hero this board needs but didn't ask for.
 
user15026
I have a grand idea, how about we stop discussing the flag
 
Hows about stop flagging dumb stuff
 
@Richard Yes, yes, we get it. We don't need random others telling us what to flag.
 
Peace out. Gamer dudes.
 
1:09 AM
I'm not gonna validate that, but I so want to.
 
user15026
How's about we all just take a slow, deep breath, and move on? :)
 
@GnomeSlice The fact that people treat you with an awful double standard is not a good excuse for attempting to apply that awful standard to everybody else.
 
Why not
You can't even be banned.
He just seemed surprised about it being flagged.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Also is this a measure of increased PH traffic on the snow day
Because that's hilarious.
 
@Frank Dude, my previous job?
I gave my resignation
Next day my friend gave his
(we were both senior developers on the project)
Day after that, our boss didnt give a resignation, he just said Im Gone.
The on-site recruiter left at the end of the month
The one tech they had on their hardware team left

Q: Shadow of Mordor on PS3

Marky MarkI've heard that Shadow of Mordor is not as good on the PS3 as on the newer PS4. Graphics aside, are there any differences in gameplay between the two consoles?

 
@GnomeSlice Yes.
 
1:36 AM
@James Well, either they'll pay me for the amount of work I'm doing, or I'll find a job that does.
 
@Frank Sounds like second option for you as well man

Q: League of Legends RADS Error

Q: Why does … A: It’s a bug
Q: isn’t working … A: Wow, that sucks
sigh
You know what would be great? If Microsoft spent 0.5% of the purchase price of Mojang on support
 
3:08 AM
@Brant It's not worth it. Once somebody buys Minecraft, they're not going to unbuy it.
 
@murgatroid99 It might persuade future buyers to not buy the game if it has terrible support
On the other hand maybe most Minecraft players are just idiots
 
@PrivatePansy I disagree with this sentiment, Minecraft is just incredibly popular
Every person under 14 years old who I’ve spoken to in the last year and a half has played it at some point
And if that many kids are playing it, there’s probably a ton of non-kids playing it too.
 
o/
 
I mean I played the crap out of Minecraft back when it was in Alpha and pretty much had my fill, but it’s become huge since then.
The crash dumps and stack traces that wash up upon our lonely shores are surely a mere fraction of what people actually experience
 
Honestly, it's quite hard to crash vanilla minecraft these days
And they don't so support for modded games (and I don't expect them to)
 
3:15 AM
@Brant Right. The problem isn't that all of the users are idiots. It's that the ones that are end up here disproportionately
 
Plus the vast majority of the ones that end up here have modded crashes that mojang doesn't accept
Like, the client won't let you send a report at all
 
idiots? on the internet? it's more likely than you think
 
I don’t think it’s modders’ fault that their game crashes, or that it’s Mojang’s fault that they don’t provide their own avenues of help…It just kind of sucks for everyone, you know?
It’s a darn shame.
 
Yep
 
@Brant With a real modding API, there would probably be a lot less crashes
 
3:20 AM
Minecraft is to a lot of kids what the general concept of “Nintendo games” was when I was young, and nobody really realizes it
And they come to us asking for help and there’s nothing we can do :(

Q: Skyrim NPC Help

willI disabled an NPC named tolfdir because he kept attacking me because my auto click went on and attacked him. He kept attacking me and I cant load a previous save. I disabled him, left the building and went back in and tried reenabling him and I havent seen him since. What do I need to do?

 
The problem is that a lot of crash reports end up being caused by the interaction between obscure bugs in mods X and Y and under-specified game functionality Z
 
Yeah
 
We can't really help because we don't have the information to find the problem, and even if we did, our users don't have the tools to fix it
We could theoretically tell users to find out combinatorially what combination of mods is causing the problem, but that's a lot of work, and can take forever if the crash is situational
And it would probably be very difficult to make a mod API/framework general enough to cover all of the things people want to modify
 
@murgatroid99 or to guarantee that the mod framework itself is bug free
 
3:27 AM
@MattGiltaji Well, it's hard to guarantee that anything is bug free, but if it's part of the game itself then at least people would be paid to fix it
I wonder, though, why we rarely get questions about mysterious Skyrim crashes due to mod interactions
 
@murgatroid99 true enough

Q: Trouble hosting LAN games on my desktop

Robin the SpriteWhenever I run Garry's Mod, and I try to host a LAN game on my desktop PC, the other computers on the network cannot see the game. When I use my laptop, however, games show up in the browser just fine. In a test using an old switch and a hard-wire connection, I pinged each of my computers, and th...

 
The real problem is that with the current mod ecosystem, nobody really has an incentive to track down mod interaction bugs. Microsoft can't fix them, and any single mod creator will only be fixing a couple of edge cases for something they give away for free anyway
And the best we can do is hope that we've already seen somebody else with exactly the same breakage
 
In a weird way, it’s a testament to the success of the game that there are so many mod interaction issues

@Brant Oh, definitely. But this is just an illustration of the fact that success and scaling create unexpected problems.

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 
No
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Out of curiosity, I tried this - private browsing, SafeSearch off (which seems to be the default now, hmmm). Below the official My Little Pony page from Hasbro, the images, and a YouTube video for What My Cutie Mark is Telling Me, is a "In the news" link to this AV Club article: avclub.com/article/… [NSFW]
 
@OrigamiRobot Wow Eagles die easy (I think I blew that dude up in like 2 seconds)
 
The rest of it is pretty much fine. So I guess it depends on what's in the news?
Turning on SafeSearch doesn't remove the blow up doll article.

@Sterno clean mafia wins are awesome
 
I'm a little sad no one continued the chain of *o. We could have all been Judoon
 
4:49 AM
@PrivatePansy Funny enough, image search is even safer. You have to scroll down a few pages before you get to the first image that's even remotely NSFW
@LessPop_MoreFizz This sort of bullshit is why people treat bronies like crap
 
@murgatroid99 Yes. You're right. The fact that there are weird creepy bronies who are surprisingly prominent on the internet and make the whole group look bad is exactly why people treat bronies like crap.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm talking about the fact that people have these overblown, reactionary, inaccurate impressions of the brony presence on the internet
@LessPop_MoreFizz See also: my previous comment
 
@murgatroid99 kind of like the overblown, reactionary impressions to the new ghostbusters having a cast of women?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz To be clear, I am perfectly fine with the Ghostbusters reboot. But people reacting poorly to that is no reason to shit on another group of people
It's not like a bunch of bronies got together and said "Hey, this new Ghostbusters movie should really only star men"
If anything, bronies are probably more OK with it than the general population. We do, after all, watch a show staring all women
 
Whatever, I'm not really interested in feeding your persecution complex further, and I've gotta wake up super early.

Allways love this: Our websites banners are always 950x159, customer gives banner: 700x300 with 100 pixels black vertical space
 
That's a standard leaderboard advertising size, right?
 
Maybe, it's just not our size
Oh well, I'll give them what they asked for
They probably won't like it but
 
Apparently neither of you are using the IAP standard sizes
 
Well that's nice
This is a banner for the top of a website
Not for an ad
So neither of us cares =p
 
Ah, I thought you're talking about a banner advert for a customer
 
10:40 AM

Hooray for standardized pop-unders
just what I wanted for christmas
 
Yes, now you know that any window that is that size can be closed before it even loads

@badp As long as they're created by you in MS Paint they're all awful
Okay, I've got the new API. It's called MutationObserver. Let's see if the sample code from MDN works
 
@PrivatePansy my avatar isn't awful
 
Pixel art is the only acceptable use of paint for creating something that is meant to look nice
Yes customer, the color "Red". That is surely sufficient information
Welp, red they want and red they'll get
It's nearly their logo color anyway
 
11:04 AM
#f00? Oh the horror!
 
Yeah
Though their logo seems to be #FE0000 or something
 
Not that much better
 
Yeah
Course, their logo is just red and black

Sam RuddThis is the bounty that gives 3 motes of light for killing 10 Majors or Ultras in a Nightfall activity.
