@GodEmperorDune Lying in bed, nothing's happening.

Can't sleep, too lazy.

user15026

Dear people - not everything you "notice" with your internet requires a credit for service.

Yuuki

@AshleyNunn I'm going to Reddit but all my subs are closed. Please fix.

Unionhawk

Reddit is on fire pls fix

user15026

8:19 PM

Also, I hate the phrase "my internet is slow" because...it probably isn't.

Unionhawk

/r/pics is only pictures of pitchforks and torches pls fix

(this is a real thing)

user15026

Or if it is, it's for a logical reason, like everyone in your house is watching netflix.

Yuuki

My internet is slow because I'm on hard painkillers and am experiencing everything slowly. Please fix.

ah shit, /r/iama closed down again

Q: After changing my minecraft username I can't play on any of my servers

When I changed my minecraft name I logged out of my launcher and reclogged when I tried to get on a server is says not authenticated with Minecraft.net

Yes, the cpsc blew up dummies with fireworks to tell people how not to blow themselves up

@Unionhawk Better than blowing up actual people I suppose :P

I dunno who thought these would look cool

Q: How am I supposed to know what order to hit the generators for this riddle?

In Panessa Studios, there's a room with generators that holds one of Riddler's riddle. To get the riddle, the generators needed to be hit in a particular order. As far as I know, there weren't any hints to the order that should have been taken. Detective mode didn't reveal anything. I could...

Chippies

@badp collection purposes?

badp

@Chippies they said weapon skins are procedurally generated and unique per weapon

Chippies

@badp as in, one skin will look different on same weapon on different players?

either way, it's just something to add to your list of skins you have, I guess

TF2 used to be the hat tycoon simulator, so this seems appropriate

badp

@Chippies yeah

that error description.

user15026

@badp It couldn't cancel but also couldn't scan? what?

user15026

9:34 PM

@Unionhawk It just weirds me out when the internet touches things I don't think of as internet things (like I know it was on the newspaper's site, but still)

Unionhawk

Newspaper website is an order of magnitude less internet than reddit

MBraedley

> We received an unbelievable amount of hate mail. It was eye opening! - mod on /r/KerbalSpaceProgram

Unionhawk

Some things are decidedly more internet

MBraedley

No shit!

user15026

@Unionhawk Yeah, exactly.

user15026

9:37 PM

@MBraedley Hate mail because?

MBraedley

@AshleyNunn In response to making the subreddit private

user15026

Ah, okay :)

user15026

That makes sense.

MBraedley

All those subreddits were acting quite childish IMHO. Yes, reddit has a community communication problem, but that doesn't mean mods get to take it out on the users.

Unionhawk

Rapitor

9:44 PM

@badp Avast.

Mad Scientist

@MBraedley Small subreddits going dark is probably futile, but for the default subs it's probably the easiest way to get the attention of the management. I'm still surprised that they gave that amount of power to the mods.

GodEmperorDune

@MBraedley several of the subs that closed voted to do so iirc

@MadScientist i imagine the go dark functionality will be quietly disabled

Mad Scientist

@GodEmperorDune No way they can manage to disable it quietly now

MBraedley

@GodEmperorDune Yeah, that's fine. That's the users deciding. But when the mods decide for everyone, there's a problem.

GodEmperorDune

@MadScientist it would be dumb to disable it now, but they could disable it in like 6 months

Mad Scientist

9:50 PM

There must have been a considerable amount of frustation behind the curtains already for this to play out like it did. I really don't understand Reddit moderation, but from the little I do the mod tools seem to be extremely bad

Q: PC World at War Zombies

I'm interested in buying Call of Duty: World at War on Steam. I bought Black Ops II in hopes of playing the zombies.

@Rapitor the last computer I threw Avast had its hard drive crash hard.

Also: tons of upselling.

GodEmperorDune

@badp yeah the avast upselling sucks

i switched to bitdefender and it seems to be doing a better job

not telling me about "11 fixes mr handy can do to improve your computer's performance"

John

@MadScientist Imagine @badp running all of Arqade with the mod tools as they were 5 years ago with zero input from anyone else or checks or balances. That's basically Reddit moderation.

GodEmperorDune

10:00 PM

@John so reddit is all modabuse, all the time?

Unionhawk

All modabuse all the time

John

@GodEmperorDune Basically yes

Unionhawk

Yes

badp

@John That's what it could be but no one actually does that

Unionhawk

Sure

John

10:01 PM

@badp People have come close, they just don't get noticed because there's basically zero way to check up on what the mods are doing

badp

I've never seen so far a subreddit with a companion meta subreddit

I'd nuke all meta discussion so hard

John

No "recently deleted" like we have here, or anything

@badp Time to make /r/metastackexchange

GodEmperorDune

cc @Wipqozn

badp

Actually I'll go ahead and attribute much of the drama Reddit suffers from to lack of sub-meta-reddits

Unionhawk

meta.reddit.com

badp

10:03 PM

because the one thing that's worse than "shitposting" is complaints about "shitposting"

GodEmperorDune

my favorite part of all the se clone sites is that they copy the format but don't understand that it doesn't work properly without the meta

John

@badp That is very true

@GodEmperorDune Who needs meta when they just copy the content too?

two bugs

Well. My internet suddenly started sucking

I get random enormous lag spikes

Speedtest says I'm getting less than 1/10th my advertised speed

GodEmperorDune

@twobugs @AshleyNunn to the rescue!

user15026

Reset your stuff, check cabling, yell at your isp

Unionhawk

10:06 PM

Yeah, without the metagame behind SE it doesn't work

user15026

Time to head home and see if my recycle box got taken or not

two bugs

@AshleyNunn At first I thought someone was stealing my bandwith so I got serious about router security, but that doesn't seem to be it. Time for the good old troubleshooting trifecta. I may need your expertise later.

Tim Stone

@Unionhawk The takeaway is that Elite needs a place in-game where we can yell at people within the faction for being idiots.

GodEmperorDune

dammit i had things to do today but spent all this time reading up on reddit drama

@TimStone i thought that was mumble

user15026

@twobugs I will try my best.

10:12 PM

@GodEmperorDune They can't disable going private. Modtalk is private

GnomeSlice

Listentothis has several meta subs

I dunno if any are public though

two bugs

Okay. Powercycle complete and everything seems okay. Time to test.

Looks good. I hope this is the end of my internet annoyance.

John

@twobugs That happened to me like twice a month for a year. My internet would suddenly become absolutely abysmal. To the point of getting 1/ 100th of my advertised speed. Nothing I did changed anything. Reset all the things, got a new router, nothing. Only calling my ISP and having them restart the connection would help it.

two bugs

Weird. Who was/is your ISP?

John

Windstream.

They still are because they are the only option where I live.

I seriously dislike them, though.

two bugs

10:20 PM

Ah. I'm using Comcast right now. They're pretty awful, but they're by far the fastest where I am and nobody else really offers comparable service.

They haven't given me any issues until now =/

John

@twobugs Comcast not giving any issues? I never thought I'd live to see the day

two bugs

Yeah, their usual MO is treat you like absolute garbage, refuse to cancel when you try to cancel

John

@twobugs So like my TV provider

two bugs

And then get you fired when you try to cancel again

I think that inb4 was within the window.

I say it counts.

yeah I'll allow it

mostly because I'm injured

GUESS WHAT ISN'T FUN

Yuuki

@spugsley Oh dear.

GodEmperorDune

@spugsley what happened?

@spugsley Beating up a bear?

spugsley

gashing the bottom of your foot open in a creek bed!

Yuuki

11:30 PM

Close enough.

spugsley

a rock gave way BROKE IN FUCKING HALF and gashed my foot

GodEmperorDune

@spugsley the injuries you do for art

spugsley

yeah. It wasn't even a good shot

BUT as I was leaving to help said foot, I saw this patch of green that was backlit by the sun and looked like an alien planet and so I bled on over there and got a great shot before I left!

GodEmperorDune

@spugsley if you were british you could say it was a great bloody shot

spugsley

I'll just imagine Hiddles saying it :3

so how bad is the foot?

Fucking clown ran the light at full speed with people crossing

He was like a foot from hitting me holy shit

user15026

@gnomeslice I am glad you weren't run over. People are idiots.

spugsley

11:37 PM

@GodEmperorDune no stitches or anything. Just in a really inconvenient spot because you know walking

GnomeSlice

It probably would have killed me

GodEmperorDune

@spugsley yeah its a pain in the ass

@GnomeSlice he probably would have lost control of the bike and been rekt too

Yuuki

@GodEmperorDune Eh, more like a pain in the foot.

GnomeSlice

Well Idk it was only a motorcycle

That makes me feel so much better @GodEmperorDune

spugsley

@GnomeSlice glad you're okay. People suck

GnomeSlice

11:38 PM

Lol

Yuuki

If it was a pain in the ass, she wouldn't be able to sit. She'd be okay walking though.

GnomeSlice

It's okay, I gave him the finger

GodEmperorDune

@GnomeSlice oh, was this in that game with the screenshots?

GnomeSlice

i was freaking out then seeing a broken bottle of vodka in the aisle of a supermarket calmed me down

really weird

My uncle flipped his end over end

The worst I ever did was hit a parked car the first day I ever drove by myself.

Driving sucks

Did you hit and run?

two bugs

I've been in two accidents. First one was my fault, rear-ended someone because I was trying to change lanes and didn't realize they were stopped in front of me

i backed into a concrete pillar when i was learning. it left a pretty nice dent

user15026

@gnomeslice no, I bawled my eyes out and waited for the guy.

11:47 PM

Second time was absolutely not my fault. Driving down hellroad someone pulled out and ruined the passenger side of my car

GnomeSlice

@GodEmperorDune my godmother drove through a huge accident on the 401 somehow not getting touched

A car lost it and plowed through cars in every lane

GodEmperorDune

@GnomeSlice nice that she was ok

two bugs

Bent the wheel in, dented the passenger door, it was bad

user15026

@gnomeslice holy shit

GnomeSlice

She called my dad and cried

GodEmperorDune

11:47 PM

yeah car accidents are fukt

two bugs

@GnomeSlice Wow, that's terrifying

MBraedley

@twobugs IT WAS YOU!

two bugs

Second guy total'd my car but he only had minor bumper damage :P

GnomeSlice

I don't think anybody died but it was a huge pileup

Wtf @twobugs

GodEmperorDune

my first accident i t-boned a garbage truck

GnomeSlice

11:48 PM

Ouch

two bugs

It was an older car but he hit me in basically the best way for him and the worst way for me

GodEmperorDune

it came out of nowhere, i swear

GnomeSlice

Did he notice

two bugs

his bumper seriously scraped the entire passenger side of my car

GnomeSlice

The garbage truck

GodEmperorDune

11:49 PM

yeah

user15026

I have been in three. Once my mom rolled the car in the ditch when I was a kid, second was my ex wife rolled the car into the ditch a few years back, third was my sister getting hit a few weeks ago.

GodEmperorDune

cause it kind of crunched my front bumper

also my cd player skipped for like 2 minutes

then resumed playing

GnomeSlice

I've been in a hit and run fender bender in. Rental car when I was younger. With my mom

That's about it

user15026

The fact that we all get licenses and can drive death machines baffles me sometimds

@AshleyNunn Agreed.

@AshleyNunn so true

Somebody find the message from strix about self driving cars and kink it

Link

Also I still doesn't have my license because I'm afraid to drive with tourettes

And the entirety of North America (at least, the US and Canada) is designed around these death machines being used for day to day life!

MBraedley

Someday there's going to be a group of people trying to ban human-driven cars and there are going to be car activists like there are gun activists now.

GodEmperorDune

11:54 PM

@GnomeSlice nah, most of the gun activists are quite reasonable, it's the gun manufacturers that get everyone all agitated

also lucky for the US, the right to own a car isn't part of the constitution

GnomeSlice
