Kevin van der Velden

Uugh chairs like that kill my back

Chippies

@GnomeSlice that's too low

djsmiley2k

no one's back is that straight for a start d:

Kevin van der Velden

I want my whole back supported plz ok thx bye

GnomeSlice

9:00 PM

it's on his lap in the picture

Chippies

@KevinvanderVelden the image is about arm-keyboard angle, not the chair :P

GodEmperorDune

@GnomeSlice no it looks like a keyboard tray

djsmiley2k

that image completely ignores the fact I'm 6'2

Fluttershy

Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus is coming to Steam! :D:D:D:D

GnomeSlice

yes, but it's at lap height

djsmiley2k

9:01 PM

some here are like 4'...

GnomeSlice

its touching his leg

Chippies

@GnomeSlice the picture guy has pretty fat upper legs...

GodEmperorDune

if its your lap you will need to throw your arms way too close to your waist

ardaozkal

@Fluttershy is store page open?

Kevin van der Velden

@Chippies it's about ergonomics with a detailed drawing of a chair, I can complain about the chair =p

blake harrisonakerz

9:01 PM

either way at the moment im playing a live internet game about everyone clicking a button to puff up a balloon live till it hits a needle and then that level is completed, then it will say ("it took somethingpuffs and somethingusers to get here") and it the amount of air per puff decreases per lvl, lvl 1 took 6k puffs, but everyone is on lvl 8 which has taken 300k puffs so far, and lvl 10 will take 5 mil

im using an auto clicker on it also

GodEmperorDune

@blakeharrisonakerz wat

blake harrisonakerz

sorry i feel like in-depth explaining everything

fredley

@blakeharrisonakerz This is the stupidest game I've ever heard of

blake harrisonakerz

ik

its strangley addicting

Fluttershy

@ardaozkal Yeh. Can't preorder or anything, but it releases tomorrow.

Wipqozn

9:02 PM

@fredley It sounds like the kind of game the bridge would get addicted to for 3 weeks.

ardaozkal

@fredley Steam MSG wasn't any better

GodEmperorDune

this is like that terrible steam incremental

ardaozkal

@Fluttershy any links?

Chippies

it sounds less addicting/fun than cookie clicker

ardaozkal

@GodEmperorDune too late

djsmiley2k

9:02 PM

@Wipqozn my thoughts exactly LOL

fredley

@Wipqozn I know. I'm bummed I didn't think of it first

blake harrisonakerz

in the bottom right corner it says 172 active users at the moment

djsmiley2k

@fredley do one about doctor who

ardaozkal

@AshleyNunn yeah. People already stated the obvious rules, I'm just stating that this room is google indexed

GodEmperorDune

@fredley just put bridge memes in it and we'll play it

djsmiley2k

9:03 PM

in that episode when he chips away at the diamond hard wall

for millions of years (and deaths)

Fluttershy

@ardaozkal store.steampowered.com/app/411830 Screenshots for the game are potentially NSFW, though.

Wipqozn

@fredley You could have even made it so that hitting a certain level just started playing Friday

djsmiley2k

'each time you hit the mountain, you die. How many times will you die, to try and break the mountain?'

GodEmperorDune

how many users does it take to shatter the diamond porkchop?

blake harrisonakerz

am i allowed to post the link to that game, i decided to talk about it because according to the owner at the bottom of the page it said the game needs exposure

djsmiley2k

9:04 PM

@blakeharrisonakerz sure

Are you the owner btw?

blake harrisonakerz

puffup.club

GnomeSlice

pretty sure my legs are tray height

long legs

blake harrisonakerz

im not the owner

GnomeSlice

also i guess i just can't use se chat on this pc any more

blake harrisonakerz

im just a person who plays it

ardaozkal

9:04 PM

@Fluttershy any info on price?

Kevin van der Velden

Oh it's an actual balloon, cool

blake harrisonakerz

i found it and started playing it from reddit.com/r/webgames

GodEmperorDune

@GnomeSlice crazy upscroll thing?

GnomeSlice

blake harrisonakerz

btw

GnomeSlice

9:04 PM

disabled shitton of extensions, still doing it

djsmiley2k

so many plugins

blake harrisonakerz

oh and btw its completely live so your popping a real balloon

djsmiley2k

err extensions

Fluttershy

@ardaozkal Not that I can find, no.

blake harrisonakerz

its at 400k puffs

its been 3 days since the website was made i think

GodEmperorDune

9:05 PM

@GnomeSlice you checked for javascript/css errors in the console?

and updated browser?

Chippies

@GnomeSlice as long as your wrists can be approximately parallel to your lower arms, you should be fine

and your hands parallel to keyboard

ardaozkal

@blakeharrisonakerz can you send a screenshot? I don't have flash player installed so I can't watch

GnomeSlice

that happens ont he desk too

blake harrisonakerz

k

ill send a screenshot

wait i sec i need to screenshit it and upload it to imgur

ardaozkal

just ss it

and click to the upload button

Kevin van der Velden

9:07 PM

(I'm not at all trying to figure out if I can just send a billion puffs at once)

GodEmperorDune

this is the weirdest "game"

blake harrisonakerz

the print screen button on my pc isnt working

GodEmperorDune

@KevinvanderVelden summon @RedRiderX for mad hax

blake harrisonakerz

dont i need to press cntrl+prtscr or something?

Kevin van der Velden

Windows?

blake harrisonakerz

9:08 PM

yeo

yep*

Kevin van der Velden

Ctrl printscreen doesn't do anything, alt printscreen is the selected window

blake harrisonakerz

k thx

Kevin van der Velden

In either case it sends it to the copy buffer so paste it in paint

blake harrisonakerz

alt+PrtScr isnt working

Chippies

there's also snipping tool in windows 7 and newer

ardaozkal

9:09 PM

windows+prtscr on W8 and higher

blake harrisonakerz

im using windows 10

ardaozkal

saves to images/screenshots folder

blake harrisonakerz

btw

windows+PrtScr isnt working either

Chippies

open the start menu and type "snipping tool" and press enter

and use that to screenshot

ardaozkal

EZ

puffup.club/js/config.js

GnomeSlice

9:11 PM

arm super uncmfortable, chair not high enough i guess

agh

blake harrisonakerz

k

also i cant belive i gained 29 site reputation in 1-2 days

Kevin van der Velden

> 666 questions with no upvoted or accepted answers in your tags

blake harrisonakerz

believe*

Kevin van der Velden

Welp

Chippies

@GnomeSlice it's better to have the chair higher than lower, but too high can be bad too

GnomeSlice

9:13 PM

this is so dumb

this is why pc gaming sucks

sometimes

ardaozkal

@blakeharrisonakerz It is possible to get 200 everyday :)

blake harrisonakerz

yeah but i find it really hard to get reputation

for 1 i cant really make good questions

Kevin van der Velden

You do know you're not allowed to just copy and paste wiki pages?

GodEmperorDune

@GnomeSlice these are more general problems from not using a PC ergonomically, not specifically gaming

Dragonrage

@blakeharrisonakerz i had over 2k reputation before i asked my first question

Chippies

9:15 PM

@GnomeSlice I have had wrist pains from holding a controller wrong

Kevin van der Velden

Same, controllers hurt me more than mouse and keyboard

GnomeSlice

I don't have that problem

blake harrisonakerz

and for 2: even when you think you know everything about something(for example an anime that you have watched 7 times) and you find ridiculous questions even you cant awnser

GodEmperorDune

not to mention finger problems from playing too long on my phone

@GnomeSlice i use an xbox 360 controller when playing some PC games

blake harrisonakerz

so im not even good with awnsers

GnomeSlice

9:16 PM

use what you want

blake harrisonakerz

let alone questions

seriously most of the questions take INSANE levels of knowledge and research about that 1 single thing, and then you probabaly not even get any reputation from it

probably dont*

Kevin van der Velden

My highest rated answer on any site took 2 minutes...

GodEmperorDune

@KevinvanderVelden yay HNQ

blake harrisonakerz

well that dosent make any sense

Kevin van der Velden

And that was only because I had to navigate to a place so I could get a screenshot and not make a terrible answer

ardaozkal

9:18 PM

@blakeharrisonakerz reputation doesn't matter

user4704

@KevinvanderVelden Mine was mostly regurgitating the PNG spec.

user4704

apparently

GodEmperorDune

@ardaozkal well it does and it doesn't

ardaozkal

Do your best at helping people, and rep will come

blake harrisonakerz

for example on the anime part of stack exchange, you have questions like "oh what was that one soundtrack that played for 10 seconds at that arbitrary bit of the anime"

Kevin van der Velden

9:19 PM

@ardaozkal I mean, to be fair. If we removed all of his answers that are copy pastas of wiki pages he couldn't be chatting here

@blakeharrisonakerz gaming.stackexchange.com/users/244/…

blake harrisonakerz

well i have no choice, how the hell am i supposed to awnser anything on this site

Frank

@badp Not a huge fan of you bringing that up as an object of discussion.

ardaozkal

@KevinvanderVelden yeah.

blake harrisonakerz

whatever

GodEmperorDune

@Frank sorry, i didn't mean to call you out

Frank

9:20 PM

@GodEmperorDune Wasn't you.

blake harrisonakerz

whatever just leave it

ardaozkal

What I mean is that you shouldn't do stuff for rep

GodEmperorDune

i was actually admiring how you are far and away the most prolific voter on the site

Frank

@badp brought it up, even if he didn't mention me, specifically.

GnomeSlice

Oct 10 '12 at 0:35, by fbueckert

Grow thicker skin.

blake harrisonakerz

9:21 PM

fine ill stop taking bits from wiki pages

whatever

Kevin van der Velden

@GnomeSlice yeaaah not helpful

@blakeharrisonakerz paraphrasing is fine, quoting is fine. Copying the entire wiki page isn't

blake harrisonakerz

k k k whatever

Kevin van der Velden

Heck, I have several answers on games I don't play where I do basically that

blake harrisonakerz

whatever, just leave it at that.

Frank

I've often answered questions based on research, just to counter other, not researched answers.

GnomeSlice

9:23 PM

@KevinvanderVelden you're right, it wasn't

Frank

@GodEmperorDune I downvote quickly. I upvote rarely.

GodEmperorDune

i got some sweet rep from an answer i stole from @twobugs' stream

blake harrisonakerz

well most of the questions on this site take LOTS of research, nearly days of it

Dragonrage

@KevinvanderVelden same, you just have to make sure it is accurate and to link the source

GnomeSlice

k why the fuck is chat scrolling like this

Kevin van der Velden

9:23 PM

@blakeharrisonakerz no?

blake harrisonakerz

it does

for me anyway

Kevin van der Velden

Also you keep saying this site meaning anime.se, this site for this chat is gaming.se ^^

ardaozkal

@blakeharrisonakerz taking bits is accepted and encouraged (to provide external source etc), just don't copy the whole page and take a note of the source and it'll be fine.

user15026

@GodEmperorDune Nicely done :P

blake harrisonakerz

well, i guess since i see some people posting like 10 paragraphs of none copied info with like 5 pictures, with like 20 upvotes, the first thing that comes up is ("every good awnser is like that") and ("i want to make a awnser thats good") i guess thats why i think its hard to make an awnser

Mad Scientist

9:26 PM

Arqade is far easier for earning reputation than most other sites. You just need to be playing a recent AAA game, ask a few good questions about it and/or answer a few if you happen to know the answer. It's far wasier than e.g. Stack Overflow

blake harrisonakerz

anyone got any way to help that?

GodEmperorDune

@AshleyNunn i made up for it by getting @twobugs next question to hit the hotlist and repcap

blake harrisonakerz

so i dont think i have to make 100% 20 paragraph awnsers

GodEmperorDune

@MadScientist yep

ardaozkal

@blakeharrisonakerz you don't have to

Kevin van der Velden

9:26 PM

@blakeharrisonakerz just, don't :D

ardaozkal

well, sometimes you do

GodEmperorDune

but quality helps

ardaozkal

Just answer the core issue, and it'll be fine.

blake harrisonakerz

but the questions that have 1 or 2 paragraphs of info get only like 2 upvotes

GodEmperorDune

don't just add filler for length

ardaozkal

9:27 PM

If the core issue requires... 20 paragraphs, then just don't answer it.

Kevin van der Velden

And also note that you can edit your answers, you can start with a small seed of an answer and then expand it

blake harrisonakerz

@ardaozkal well you just talked about every question on the anime part of the site

Dragonrage

my highest rated answers are only ~1 paragraph long

ardaozkal

bridge answers are mostly KISS.

@blakeharrisonakerz gaming.stackexchange.com/users/87186/…

check the top few ones. they are short, but they have ten sof reps

blake harrisonakerz

and i only really want to use the anime part because i have the highest reputation there, so on other parts i couldn't: upvote etc.

Mad Scientist

9:29 PM

On this site, timing is important. If you're asking or answering at the right time, you get plently of reputation for relatively simple posts. But when a new high profile game is released, a question can get 10k views easily in a day.

GodEmperorDune

@ardaozkal wow you have a lot of 0 score answers

Kevin van der Velden

@GodEmperorDune proud owner of the sites only tenacious badge

ardaozkal

@GodEmperorDune and I have the rarest badge in arqade

Good news: I have more money in my bank account than I thought I would right now. Bad news: the reason is because my first mortgage payment hasn't been deducted from my account for some reason.

Dragonrage

9:30 PM

@MadScientist overwatch got me a bunch. i already only need a few more answers to get the first badge for it

Frank

@badp One thing worth noting is that that value includes votes on deleted posts.

blake harrisonakerz

but i dont do much proper gaming, i rarely play downloadable games on my pc, and i dont use my xbox much, i just like to play online games, like cookie clicker, agar.io etc.

Frank

So reading anything at all into it is going to irk me greatly.

blake harrisonakerz

so there arent much questions that i can awnser

ardaozkal

@blakeharrisonakerz those questions are allowed too

Dragonrage

9:31 PM

@Frank what i read into it is that you downvote a lot of bad questions that get deleted.

blake harrisonakerz

@ardaozkal but they arent common at all

badp

I should point out that attackontitan.wikia.com uses CC-BY-SA 3.0

ardaozkal

gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/agar

blake harrisonakerz

there alot rarer

badp

and we also use CC-BY-SA 3.0

whats*

ardaozkal

@blakeharrisonakerz ccreative commons

badp

as a result, you MAY quote whole wiki pages from there, but you need to give attribution

ardaozkal

content licensing

Kevin van der Velden

@badp he has

badp

9:32 PM

which means a link and probably a list of authors?

Frank

@Dragonrage Which is, apparently, not the way things are supposed to be done.

Kevin van der Velden

A link

blake harrisonakerz

i list the sources

How do I look at my voting ratio?

This one is my most recent highly voted answer. It's a self answer to my own question that I encountered while playing Witcher 3 just after release. It's something many people playing the game will ask, so it has an absurd number of views, and enough votes. It doesn't take much to answer this one, but many people are helped by a simple answer to this simply because the game is confusing at this point

ardaozkal

on activity

Kevin van der Velden

And does it really? I mean yes the license allows it but does that mean we should

badp

and they say a link back to the wiki is fine in terms of attribution (fixed link)

blake harrisonakerz

its just there arent any portions of the site that im good at using at all

none of them

Kevin van der Velden

@MadScientist questions on "How do I solve $puzzle" are also good

ardaozkal

9:33 PM

blake harrisonakerz

im not good with science

i mean maths

Dragonrage

@Frank i have a lot more downvotes than upvotes, and almost all of my downvotes are on questions/answers that get closed/deleted, i dont see anything wrong with that.

badp

so a post such as anime.stackexchange.com/a/32457/79 is actually okay to make

though you have probably gotten it right by accident ;)

ardaozkal

@blakeharrisonakerz stackexchange is huge

there is something for everyone

Frank

@Dragonrage Neither do I. I just don't like my voting record being referenced as a bad thing.

Dragonrage

9:34 PM

@MadScientist when i read this title, i saw baron's wife, and i was trying to figure out why i had never heard of that LoL lore

Frank

That irks me at least a little.

GnomeSlice

I thought I would have more downs than that

Although I don't usually bother downvoting spam and such

blake harrisonakerz

im only 13 though, im not really good with anything here

ardaozkal

@blakeharrisonakerz I'm 16. I opened my account when I was 14.

GnomeSlice

@Frank People are allowed to criticize another user's conduct on the site

blake harrisonakerz

9:36 PM

yeah but what i mean is im not good at these subjects compared to most people, so most of the time nearly all the questions will be ones i cant awnser

badp

@Frank what I personally care more about is your almost spotless and endless flagging record

Mad Scientist

The simplest way to earn reputation is to post about parts of games that are simply confusing or misleading. Many people will get stuck at the same point, and they will appreciate help with those parts. And you don't need any special knowledge except for playing the game far enough and solving the issue for this

Frank

@badp Sadly, without 20K, not much else I can do. :P

blake harrisonakerz

yeah but those questions are rare mad scientest

ardaozkal

9:36 PM

@GnomeSlice allowed != should. I don't think that we should discuss @Frank's decisions (or uni as he was mentioned in that meta).

badp

@Frank your record is plenty

blake harrisonakerz

im not good with anything about games instead of playin them

GodEmperorDune

@blakeharrisonakerz you'd be surprised

blake harrisonakerz

playing*

and even then i probably havent played them much

Kevin van der Velden

(Up arrow is edit here)

blake harrisonakerz

9:37 PM

and most of the questions are about MMO's, dark souls etc.

nearly nothing about the games i know alot about

Frank

@Gnome, if you don't like my voting record, great. Don't care. It's mine. Discussing it is pointless. I don't bash you for yours, even if I don't agree with most of your assessments. So lay off.

ardaozkal

@blakeharrisonakerz this network is about sharing knowledge. You probably know some stuff that you can answer.

blake harrisonakerz

i doubt that

Frank

@badp I'm somewhat surprised that helpful flags are no longer part of the moderator metrics for elections.

badp

@Frank I guess SE figured those numbers are sensitive enough not to share by default

though you may feel free to flaunt them anyway

Mad Scientist

9:39 PM

@Frank They're counting some badges that are based on flags

Frank

I'm not about flaunting; I'm about flagging.

GnomeSlice

@Frank I did not comment on your behaviour, please read what I said next time before you reply to me please

or in your words, "lay off"

badp

okay, the attitude here needs to be dialed down a few notches

GodEmperorDune

@Frank if i'm doing the math right, doesn't the -1 from downvoting an answer across all your answer downvotes mean you would've hit 20k already if not for that rep penalty? or do you get the -1 rep back when the answer is deleted?

Frank

@GodEmperorDune You get it back when it's deleted.

GodEmperorDune

9:41 PM

ah nevermind then

GnomeSlice

Can't see my flag record on mobile

Frank

It'd most likely not be enough to propel me past 20K, even if I undid all my downvotes that still exist.

GnomeSlice

probably a shambles though

I will never reach 20k, I can't afford aaa games any more

:(

blake harrisonakerz

the games i play are, roblox, ALOT of mobile games, a few indie games, Quite a few online games, a few xbox games, including naruto shippuden ultimate ninja storm 4, no hardcore games or games that take alot of effort and time, and i play quite a bit more but i cant remember

and i rarely get new games because my parents buy them.

i also like anime games

basically nothing on the gaming part

Unionhawk

@GodEmperorDune That isn't flag record

blake harrisonakerz

9:46 PM

?

GodEmperorDune

@Unionhawk ><

Chippies

@GnomeSlice I can't afford (don't want to either) and don't have time to play them enough to ask/answer questions before they are already asked/answered

blake harrisonakerz

so basically never gonna gain any reputation on any of the stack exchange sites

Chippies

adult life has more cons than pros

blake harrisonakerz

im never*

GodEmperorDune

9:46 PM

@Chippies well yes

but i got a bunch of rep from fallout shelter, a free mobile game

Chippies

@blakeharrisonakerz if you see something you can answer and it doesn't already have a good answer, just answer it
