Next one gets flagged
Quit spamming
 
4:00 PM
Shush.
 
@MichaelDunfield That's not the next one
 
@OrigamiRobot You're right.
 
@MichaelDunfield after I let you get away with that stupid truckers crap you should probably not threaten to flag me posting harmless stuff
 
I am a failure.

@kalina But it's spaaaaaaaaammmmmmm ;_;
 
"Ton of bricks" and "falling all over your broken corpse" come to mind for the next time you post something that upsets me
 
4:01 PM
@MichaelDunfield How hypocritical.
 
@OrigamiRobot What? When do I spam?
 
@MichaelDunfield Literally every day.
 
I think posting something harmless is completely not in the same league as posting a animated rape video
 
@OrigamiRobot ??? What are you talking about?
 
@kalina Now, now. Let's not resort to violence.
 
4:02 PM
@MichaelDunfield The amount of videos you post on a frequent basis.
 
@GraceNote Posting frequently = spam?
I thought spam was posting something useless repeatedly.
Sorry...
 
@MichaelDunfield see: most of the things you post
 
I'll stop.
@OrigamiRobot This is spam?
 
It's about the magnitude of the frequency.
 
4:04 PM
@MichaelDunfield You have posted as many youtube links as people have said "kalina"
 
It's not like it's a constant stream...
 
@MichaelDunfield You posted the same video within 10 minutes of each other.
 
@kalina I have been here a lot longer than Kalina
 
@MichaelDunfield Yes, it is.
 
@OrigamiRobot The out there somewhere one? Because two people asked me what game I was talking about
And I still had the tab open so I didn't go back for the transcipt one, I just linked it again
Is that a problem?
 
4:04 PM
@MichaelDunfield No, yesterday. Both to me.
 
@kalina That just means you're incredibly popular.
 
@OrigamiRobot Well you missed the first one then
 
@FEichinger infamous
 
@fbueckert Which question?
 
notorious
despised
popular... unlikely

Q: What Valve games are playable on Linux?

DecencyValve has recently started porting some of their games on Steam to the Linux OS due to their owner's stated distaste for Windows 8 and the company's desire to build their own open console, termed the 'Steam Box'. For reference, here is a list of Valve's games: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/1...

 
@kalina I like you.
 
@kalina I like you ... Sometimes.
 
You've already cast both of your votes. :P
 
@MichaelDunfield And every time someone doesn't comment on your links, you link it again.
That is spam.
 
@kalina I don't despise you.
 
4:06 PM
@OrigamiRobot You asked what game it was again
 
I find you prone to setting stuff on fire, but that's just one of your quirks.
 
@MichaelDunfield You repost even if noone asks.
 
@MichaelDunfield How many times have I told you I can't see youtube videos at work?
 
@OrigamiRobot You can't?
I wish you'd told me that.
Now I feel dumb.
 
I will murder you.

4:07 PM
I think the implication here is that he has.
Sharing stuff isn't always a bad thing to do, but when it's a giant video thumbnail and in some cases not related to the current thread of conversation, some users will get bothered if it's frequent and repeated.
 
@OrigamiRobot Well, here's what it was then, since you couldn't see the videos: desura.com/games/out-there-somewhere
@GraceNote But ponies are okay?
@OrigamiRobot Why did this just get flagged
It wasn't me, I promise
 
god some people are being awfully tetchy today
 
Oh wow. 22% of all youtube videos have been posted by GnomeSlice. that's like a super power.
 
<insert GnomeSlice MTG card>
 
@MichaelDunfield If it's frequent and repeated then it wouldn't be okay. It's the same deal.
 
4:08 PM
@kalina That's the Bridge.
 
Jul 30 at 18:50, by OrigamiRobot
@GnomeSlice Spoiler Alert: I can't see videos at work.
 
@OrigamiRobot That was in July, sorry.
I forgot.
I need to change my name again...
 
Let's try one exercise for everyone that comes to the Bridge, though.
 
I don't like exercises
is there a non-exercise alternative?

When someone's doing something bothersome that shows up, like the aforementioned giant quote block section, politely ask them to stop. Don't make threats, don't jump on flagging when it's not majorly harmful yet - just ask them to stop.
 
4:11 PM
Sorry about that. I didn't actually want to flag but I didn't want to go back on my word.
 
@GraceNote That's too easy, we can't do that.
 
I personally don't mind Gnome linking videos, provided they're not trucker rape videos or he is more careful when posting his music with women in erotic positions as the only picture.
 
I won't do that again.
 
@Wipqozn Likewise.
 
@GraceNote That is usually what I try to do when someone's doing something that annoys me.
 
4:12 PM
@Wipqozn I don't mind either, but when he then flags someone else for spam, that's when i take issue.
 
@OrigamiRobot Yeah, I know that's what your issue was. This conversation seemed to get a bit out of hand.
 
@fbueckert Which is good.
 
@MichaelDunfield You wouldn't have been going back on your word because it wasn't the next one.
 
@OrigamiRobot I got excited okay.
@fbueckert don't you just ignore them?
 
I have 11% of all Bridge youtube videos.
 
4:14 PM
@Wipqozn Is it a contest?
 
@MichaelDunfield That's what the ignore button is for. When someone annoys you.
Among other things.
 
I apologize @OrigamiRobot, @kalina, @GraceNote.
 
@MichaelDunfield No worries.
 
@MichaelDunfield I would like an apology as well.
 
@Wipqozn What did I do to you?
 
4:15 PM
@Wipqozn Too bad, you're a turtle.
 
Sorry @Wipqozn. For you.
 
@MichaelDunfield No idea. I just don't want to feel left out.
So apologize for excluding me.
 
Which, @Wipqozn, in case you missed it.
 
I don't want your apologies. You've apologized for things like this a million times before. Instead of apologizing, just stop doing the things you're apologizing for.
 
@GraceNote Nooooooo
 
4:16 PM
@OrigamiRobot Do you want me to stop posting youtube videos?
 
@MichaelDunfield No, that's not the issue. His original complaint seemed to get misunderstood.
 
I want you to stop misusing flags.
 
@GraceNote You sacrificed the turtle to the cat gods.
 
@OrigamiRobot I did it once.
 
I'd say that's horrible, but it's actually hilarious.
 
4:16 PM
@fbueckert Cats like fish. Ergo, the cat god likes fish.
 
@MichaelDunfield What a liar.
 
Where fish is defined as "Any creature I can catch with a fishing rod". Turtle never even saw it coming.

I'd say that's horrible, but it's actually hilarious.
 
@OrigamiRobot ??
 
How many times have you "accidentally flagged" because you "meant to star"
That is a blatant lie.
 
4:17 PM
@OrigamiRobot Maybe twice?
 
Oh, hey. The Humble Bundle question got closed.
 
I used to follow a different goddess but she wouldn't admit that she was terribly in love with me so we had a falling out. I do still have a body pillow of her, though.

@fbueckert What, why?
 
@MichaelDunfield Did you "accidentally" click Yes to the "Do you want to flag this?" dialogue box?
 
@MichaelDunfield If this is the question I'm thinking of then probably because of all those reasons people stated in the comments, chat and the meta post.
 
4:19 PM
@OrigamiRobot It didn't used to have that I don't think
 
@OrigamiRobot there's a dialog box?
 
@MichaelDunfield Because @fbueckert is always right.
 
@GraceNote Is this from the aforementioned Elona?
 
because there certainly isn't a dialogue box
 
@kalina Yes.
 
4:19 PM
it doesn't speak to you for starters
 
@fbueckert Yes.
 
@GraceNote Sounds like something I really need to play, once I can shake loose the time.
 
@kalina That's true as well.
 
@fbueckert It's basically a much more expansive, much nicer and harsher ADOM.
 
@GraceNote harsher than ADOM?
I've heard that game is brutal
 
4:20 PM
@GraceNote Does it allow save scumming?
 
@MichaelDunfield Feigning ignorance isn't going to work here.
 
Because that's how I play roguelikes.
 
@MichaelDunfield It is. It's absolutely brutal, but the most deadly aspects of it have been toned down significantly.
 
@fbueckert you are a save scummer?
 
@fbueckert You can choose to respawn after dying.
 
4:21 PM
@kalina Makes it funner for me.
 
well you're only cheating yourself
 
This is actually one of the biggest things in Elona - you can choose not to die, you'll end up back in your home and incur all of a small penalty to your gold, drop a few items where you had died, and in rare cases an item might be permanently gone but those are rare. You can still save-scum on top of this but of note, certain actions auto-save.
 
@kalina Exactly.
 
@MichaelDunfield no I like that edit
it probably is too radical though
 
4:22 PM
@MichaelDunfield Ugh, HTML.
 
didn't stop me from approving it
 
@GraceNote That's good to know.
Permadeath isn't something I'm a huge fan of.
 
@fbueckert It has its places.
 
@OrigamiRobot In some games, yes.
 
There's a corruption effect but it's not nearly as majorly prevalent as the chaos in ADOM, and multiple conditions are easy enough to live with (and as mentioned earlier, the game is as much about a lot of other lifestyles besides beating up monsters).
 
4:24 PM
Rogue Legacy wouldn't be nearly as fun if it didn't have it's permadeath.
 
@OrigamiRobot I'm sorry if I upset you at any point. I mean it. Even though I guess I never improve on things.
 
10 12 18 16 12 12
 
I don't do it on purpose, you guys are my friends.
 
There's a Tower of Fire required to be done, but the fire is easily bearable with the right equipment and the bosses at the top are not an absurdly ridiculous Ancient Chaos Wyrm.
 
@GraceNote Those, I didn't mind so much.
I always played a Wizard, so I'd be lobbing frost rays everywhere in there.

I don't want your apologies. You've apologized for things like this a million times before. Instead of apologizing, just stop doing the things you're apologizing for.
 
@fbueckert Ancient Chaos Wyrm was a bit too early for my tastes.
 
@OrigamiRobot I just wanted you to know anyway.
 
@GraceNote Fair enough. I usually save scummed the crap out of the game, though, so I tended to be rather overpowered for wherever I was.
 
The tower wasn't much a problem even for my physical fighters and even my priest got pretty far, but the Ancient Chaos Wyrm is so much of a beefgate for how early you run into it and it blocks so much of your ability to safely train, too.
 
@MichaelDunfield When you apologize for something and then do it multiple times further, apologizing again is just insulting.
 
4:27 PM
@OrigamiRobot It is?
My parents always say that too...
I don't understand that.
 
@GraceNote Really? I don't recall the fire tower being required so close to the beginning of the game.
 
6% of all my posted youtube videos are this. I'm sure everyone will know what that is without clicking the link.
 
@Wipqozn buhahahahahaha?
 
@MichaelDunfield Correct.
 
@fbueckert The firewall is before even the ghost of the high king.
 
4:28 PM
@Wipqozn Awesome.
 
@MichaelDunfield The apology just feels empty and meaningless.
 
You only get like, not even 20 levels into the Caverns of Chaos.
 
@GraceNote Oh, right. I forgot the firewall blocks you from continuing, until you run through the fire tower.
Does it allow the casino?
 
Nope
 
Oh, darn. So you can't even gamble for a ton of cash.
 
4:31 PM
@MichaelDunfield Because if you really regret doing something and you're not stopping, saying you regret it seems like a blatant lie.
 
@OrigamiRobot I guess that makes sense...
 
@GraceNote I have downloaded this game.
It better be fun or I will never trust you again.
 
@OrigamiRobot Elona Plus 1.27 or Elona 1.16?
 
> Latest stable version of Elona: Elona 1.16rfix2b (about 27MB) Platform: windows xp,vista
 
@OrigamiRobot In a general case I would've recommended picking up Elona Plus if one was really interested, but since you've already downloaded this, then better to try this and see how you enjoy it first, than spend more time downloading.
 
4:41 PM
@GraceNote I'm at work so there is no wasted time in downloading something else.
 
@OrigamiRobot Ah, well, I suggest getting Elona Plus then. From the wiki front page, it's a link on the right sidebar and just hunt for a Dropbox link on the ensuing page for 1.27. It fixes a number of bleh things and also adds a number of niceties.
 
@GraceNote hmm elonaplus1.27.zip appears malicious
 
@KevinvanderVelden Hohum. That's... odd.
 
Oh well, chrome has wrong about that before
 
@KevinvanderVelden Is it the case for all of the downloads or just the dropbox one?

Q: Any way to play Windows Games on Ubuntu?

DeanAdamFryI was wondering if I can play Windows Games on Ubuntu through software so I can play games like Wildstar (MMO), Steam/Origin Games etc. Personally I don't want to use Windows, I've always disliked it but to play the latest games you need it so I've always felt "forced" so to speak. Thank you in...

 
@GraceNote I can't really find any other than the dropbox one
 
@GraceNote I understand now why you phrased it this way.
 
@KevinvanderVelden Hrrm.
 
The base game doesn't seem to trigger it
And my virusscanner isn't panicking either =p
Just chrome being weird I guess
 
don't you worry don't you worry child, see heaven's got a plan for you...
 
4:48 PM
Make typo, get 10 retweets
 
@KevinvanderVelden I sure hope so. I don't entirely feel comfortable recommending something if it indeed has summat malicious hidden in it.
 
@GraceNote only not entirely? =p
 
@KevinvanderVelden Uncertainty begets uncertainty.
 
HOW is a snail proficient in throwing O.o
Oh well, that's a mystery for later, dinner :)
 
Is there any way to change our first custom close reason? Or, why isn't there an Off Topic -> Because it is off topic as per the FAQ close reason?
 
my hobby: talking to people in real life as though I have a dialogue wheel in front of me
 
@JasonBerkan The answer to the latter is to stave off laziness in layman closers but we're aware that there's bothersome issues introduced by this so we are looking to see what might be thought on.
 
Hey Grace Note?
Can I have some help
 
@GraceNote Cool. Put me down for adding it and fighting the laziness some other way.
