@twobugs The "can't afford it" is probably what it is
His profile makes it clear he's not doing well
This is why universal healthcare should cover dental
shame on you Canada
SHAAAMME
MORE TAXES
 
You know who else covered dental? ...Probably the NAZIS!
 
Sooory. We can't fix yer teeth. But we can getcha moose teeth.
 
Probably
hitler also built the roads
 
Hitler made the teeth grow on time. Or something like that.
 
You know who else had a government? Hitler.
 
7:02 PM
ALso fun fact, Hitler didn't save Germany as well as people thought
 
You know who else had work uniforms made by Hugo Boss? Oh wait.
 
Supposedly one of the reasons for WW2 was Germany would have gone into another depression due to Hitlers economic policies
I read that a ways back, need to track down the soruce for more details
if I wasn't lkazy
 
@Wipqozn Didn't he just build up a large debt?
 
which I am
@twobugs yeah, think so
Keep in mind by "IU think so" I really mean "I have no idea"
 
@Wipqozn Having your country crushed by its enemies isn't really saving it.
 
7:03 PM
Hey, without World War 2, we wouldn't have a really great remake of Wolfenstein.
 
I mean, spending your way out of a recession is one strategy. Sovereign debt is not the same as personal debt.
 
@JasonBerkan As in pre-ww2
 
A game in which you fight Nazis on their moonbase, with laser guns.
 
I hate that "I pay my bills, why doesn't the government pay its bills" is a talking point.
 
See down here in the US, we now simply break down the poor and homeless for spare parts and use that for health care.
Because we are soulless machines.
 
7:05 PM
I LIVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVE
also I have the flu
also get your flu shot
 
I would, but I don't have the $35 to get one right now.
 
I'm still getting over the worst cold I've ever had, but I'm planning to get a flu shot next week
 
@spugsley is alive, long live the @spugsley!
 
@spugsley I got the flu shot, now I have autism. If only people had listened to Donald trump
Oh hang on, this website says I can be cured if I donate to his superPAC
 
7:09 PM
Did I actually pick a time when @badp wasn't here to post that? Well done me.
 
@GodEmperorDune I'll take "Things no rational person would say" for $200
 
@GnomeSlice I get it. That's funny.
 
Why would vaccines causing autism even be bad? You know what's significantly worse than autism? Your kid dying from a preventable disease!
 
@SaintWacko "this is the best site on the SE network"
@twobugs because it's false on every level
 
@RonanForman Nice
 
7:11 PM
"I'm commander Shepard and this is my favorite stack in the exchange."
 
@GodEmperorDune Yeah, obviously. But it's ridiculous that people act like their child maybe getting autism is as bad or worse than their child dying.
 
on a separate note, I could watch Tom Hiddleston talk like Al Pacino for hours
 
Okay, I have to stop thinking about this right now or it's going to make me extremely angry.
 
on a separate separate note, I have a new hawt pic @GodEmperorDune
 
@spugsley You could remove "talk like Al Pacino" from that sentence and it would still be accurate :P
 
7:13 PM
@SaintWacko truer words never spoken
 
I was typing out a long anti anti vaxxer rant but I'll take hawt pics from @spugsley instead
 
@GodEmperorDune lol
 
@spugsley Ooh, that's cool. What's the light?
 
hawt pic. That fog was awesome. That light was weird. And it was so cold and wet. Also, this was the day before I got the flu
bahahahahaha
@SaintWacko street light in the distance
 
@spugsley That's awesome
 
7:15 PM
@GodEmperorDune Someone should make a movie with an action hero who goes around shooting people but all the bullets are just syringes with vaccines and he's doing the whole world a favor
 
I declare this HAWT FLU INDUCING PIC to be worth it
 
Hawt Flu is going to be the name of my first book
 
@twobugs might be easier to make an incremental
 
@GodEmperorDune That's actually a really good idea and I'm going to steal it.
 
Just don't let @badp play it
Prestige can be a new disease comes out so you need to start a new vaccine from scratch
 
7:19 PM
Those should be the image meta tags
#field #contrast #hawt #flu #getflushot
 
@twobugs Because the sad truth is that people would rather their kids die than be autistic.
 
Now I'm six tabs deep in Math.SE. I HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY @BADP!
 
If this is "taco pizza", where's the lettuce?
Well, at least there's no sour cream.
Salsa on pizza tastes weird.
Salsa on tacos tastes weird too, but that's just me.
The only time I consume salsa is with nachos.
 
@JasonBerkan I don't even think @badp is here. ARe you confusing him with someone else? You are getting to be that age.
 
@Wipqozn he's not @sternld yet
 
7:26 PM
He was here. You have to believe me!
 
It's funny, because @JasonBerkan is actually older than @Sterno.
The DMV just told me to print off a web poage
 
then he will never be @sternold again
 
What year is this?
Send me an email.
 
Fax me this webpage. My fax machine is down so you'll actually have to send it to a nearby office who can have it transcribed to telegram
 
@twobugs Please. Semaphore.
 
7:28 PM
The website I am currently working on is designed to move our clients away from faxes.
 
Bug Report: Website turns clients into faxes.
 
faxes have some legal backing that apparently email does not yet
at least in the US

Q: How do I get S+ or better soldiers?

NolonarI've just recently started finding S+ soldiers on the battlefield, which I've eagerly extracted so I can get them to work for Mother Base. However, aside from the S+ and S++ soldiers I've received for finishing missions 31 and 46, I have not a single soldier above S rank, not even in the Brig. A...

Q: How did the Flood survive the activation of the Halo array?

Nick TI was watching Halo Legends on Netflix, a kind of Animatrix for the Halo series, and a couple shorts talked about the early history of the Forerunners, Flood, and purpose of the Halo array. From the shorts and games, I know that the Halo array was meant to scrub the galaxy of sentient life, and ...

 
Ah. Y'all are just being pedantic. Now back to programming.
 
So, a Blizzard community manager just left. Here's the community response: "Honestly, if you can't stomach criticism (yes even death threats), you don't belong there."
 
@Lazers2.0 damnit i wish i had the time/patience to lore-gasm all over this question.
 
Gee, I wonder why that person left when they had to interact with such a wonderful community?
 
your answer is basically right @twobugs, but there is so much more.
 
7:51 PM
@Rapitor Feel free to add to mine or submit your own far more thorough answer!
I only know a bit about the wider Halo universe. All kinds of crazy stuff like the ancient Human empire, Precursors, Forerunners, etc.
 
@Rapitor Yeah, I came up with this so far.
> The reason why the Flood survived the initial activation of the Halo Array is two-fold. One is, as mentioned, samples of the Flood were kept on the Halos for research purposes. The Halos were always meant to be a last-resort taking-you-with-me weapon. Even up until the activation of the Array, the Forerunners were intent on finding a less catastrophic way of defeating the Flood.

Secondly, the Array was never meant to kill the Flood. Simply, it *can't*. The smallest parts of the Flood are the Flood supercells and spores. While the Array may be able to destroy the supercells since they are
 
@Yuuki The key word there being "hibernation"
 
@RonanForman note to self
 
@Yuuki Good answer, way better than mine!
 
The forerunner trilogy of the books (Cryptium, Primordium, and Silentium ) answers everything about the flood and forerunners and yeah

Q: Does everyone I extract join Mother Base?

TelestiaInspired by this question: How do I get S+ or better soldiers? I recall that the staff at Mother Base need to convince each potential recruit to join the ranks. I've also heard a rumor that the chances are better the higher Big Boss's heroism is. Do some of the soldiers I extract decide not to ...

Q: How can I see what Caravan cards I have?

victoriahI'm in the Sierra Madre Casino right now, and I'm trying to collect all of the cards. So, I want to see what cards I already collected so that I don't waste time trying to find the same card again. I checked my inventory thoroughly, but I can't find my cards listed under any of the tabs. I'm cer...

 
Reading through lore on the Flood is probably not a good idea while eating lunch.
 
lul
bungie so... odd
on one hand they great at story
on theo ther handm, they terrible
 
The story of Reach is one of my favorites. I actually like the game's version of events more than the novel, tbh.
 
@JasonBerkan Quite
 
8:11 PM
@badp he returns!
 
@GodEmperorDune Was setting up a new router
 
given how long it took, routerRRor more likely
 
Hardest part was remembering to only set up the DNS to Google's after reregistering the new device with the ISP
@GodEmperorDune well there was also a Dinner in the Middle attack
 
@Rapitor inb4 zero day DLC
 
8:21 PM
@GodEmperorDune Halo generally doesn't have that
 
@GodEmperorDune inb4 on disk DLC
 
@GodEmperorDune halo 5 has no paid dlc.
just microtrans instead
 
@Rapitor Prove it
 
@MBraedley proved
 
> Your request was denied because of its content categorization: "Informational;Entertainment;Games"
 
8:23 PM
inb4 "they could change their minds"
 
@Rapitor That's fantastic. The playerbase split they're talking about has been the bane of every Halo game
 
> On top of the 20 multiplayer maps expected to launch with Halo 5: Guardians in October, 343 will also offer 15 additional DLC maps at no extra charge.

In Game Informer's Halo 5 cover story, 343 studio head Josh Holmes said they're looking to keep the player base united.

"When you have paid map packs and content, you divide the player base into two groups: the haves and the have-nots," Holmes said. "The people that have the map pack can play together but the people who don't cannot. That to us is a real problem. So we're delivering all the maps to all players free so everybody will be ab

Q: How can i find out how many more bottles of Nuka-Cola Quantum I need to donate?

JonWI'm working on the Nuka-Cola Challenge, but as the bottles are few and far between I don't know how to keep track of how many I've already donated, or how many more I need to find. When I donate any, Sierra says 'you've found more than 10...' or words to that effect, but I can't find any stats ...

Q: Have you got to re buy destiny and its DLC?

flamingjaguarI was thinking about getting an xbox one, but would like to know if i get it would I need to buy destiny and its DLC to play it on the xbox one?

 
@Rapitor That does not mean no paid DLC, just no paid maps.
 
@MBraedley The nice thing about paid cosmetics is that you don't miss anything by not getting it
 
8:25 PM
its not even cosmetics, you can just buy the packs everyone gets for playing
 
I didn't know you could pay for the card packs
 
@Rapitor Of course out of the 20 multiplayer maps, only 2 will be actually actively played
 
@badp Have you ever played halo?
 
naturally no
 
Because that's not how it works
 
8:29 PM
but that's how most MP games degenerate :P
 
But Halo literally doesn't let (matchmaking) multiplayer work that way
 
yeah, it's going to just cycle maps instead of being avote system
 
With either votes or cycling, often neither of those maps is a choice, so you play a different one
 
but he's kind of right, at least when matchmaking isnt involved. Halo CE was all blood gulch, 2 was all zanzibar, and 3 idk
 
Valhalla, I think?
There was a bit more map variety in Halo 3.

Q: Does the train horn noise mean anything?

victoriahEvery now and then I hear a noise that seems to be pretty much random. The only way I can describe it is the sound of a train horn. If you've played this game, you know what I mean. This is the first Fallout game I've played, so I don't know if sounds usually mean anything. But I have played Sky...

 
Or I could just be hallucinating after endless rounds of fast-paced Infection chases on Sandtrap.
 
@Rapitor I'm not even sure what "Gone gold" means anymore
 
@Wipqozn Feature freeze and principal QA complete, ready to stamp disks.
 
Hmm. Well this is fun.
 
@MBraedley Yeah, I have to google that everytime
It solds like it should be "sold X copies" or something

8:51 PM
Ugh, I feel sick.
 
@Yuuki yeah @Wipqozn has that effect on people
 
Yeah. @Wipqozn is just as bad as the threat of public speaking.
Doing an oral presentation today. Bleurgh.
 
The trick to oral presentations is just show up in your underwear.
 
What if, hypothetically speaking, one is wearing pants or shorts over their underwear?

9:08 PM
Emotes?
 
Decoration slots for your armor.
 
@Yuuki That does sound fancy.
 
@Arperum Judging by the color, probably gemmed for Attack Up.
I was thinking Handicraft, but that's a light blue-ish color.
 
@Yuuki Derp. Totally missed that.
 
Bleh. I hate how Tumblr doesn't make it easy to see where one image begins and the other ends.

If he does, so should Zelda.

You guys are basically the worst

@Wipqozn Arjuna
 
9:54 PM
@TrentHawkins THANK YOU
See, @TrentHawkins is a solid guy.
OOHHH
I just see what you all did
I'm not sure if you guys misunderstood, or were trolling me.
Both would make sense
Point is, @TrentHawkins is a hero.
 
this is the bridge, after all
 
@Wipqozn Trolling.
Obviously.
 
Oh you meant the awesome show that @fredley loves?
 
Yes
 
Best char is the #freeNovaScotia terrorist
 
9:56 PM
I've been rewatching it lately, and I gotta say, Ray is definitely my favourite.
 
Also I learned the other day that he was voiced by one of the trailer park boys, and the other 2 were voices in the same episode
I do like the Ray paralyzed in the crash meme
 
@Frank It seems like he does have an argument (besides that), just not one that agrees with current site policy
He's claiming that it's off topic because describing a game does not fall in the category of "gaming".
 
@murgatroid99 Which is an argument, yes. A rather weak one, but one nonetheless.
 
My point is that he's not saying "It's off-topic because I said so". He has an actual reason.
 
Boo. If someone else wants to pick that up and slog through it, you're welcome to it.
I have a house to go look at.
 
10:29 PM
Yeah, there's a subtle difference, but it doesn't agree with site policy (re: "about games not gaming": , , re: "just google it": meta.gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/5498/…)
 
Also there is the fact that contest of champions is a thoroughly meh game
 
what question is this for?

Q: What do we do with questions that ask you to describe a game?

SternoRecently, there was a question asking what Starbound is and what platforms it is available for. I'll paste it below since it is currently closed and might end up deleted, and since the original user seems to want it deleted now anyway due to the downvotes. This is a terrible question. 20 secon...

 
I jumped into the argument, because I am psychologically incapable of staying out of that sort of thing
 
@Frank There's really no point
Without even looking at anything else, if everyone si against hi, it doesn't matter
 
10:38 PM
@Wipqozn This almost feels similar to situations we often find ourselves in here in The Bridge. I mean, what?
 
@Unionhawk I too get the irony
 
@GnomeSlice Thwe quality of that video si so bad I had to lean in closely to see what actually happened
Those teenagers should really get better phone cameraas
 
@GnomeSlice it's a little bit fuct if you ask me
 
So this is apparently official.
 
@Yuuki Ooh. Shiny.
 
@Yuuki What is?
 
I really hope they go campy as f--k rather than the grimdark fan trailer thing.
 
Is that a sequel to the Lone Ranger?
 
11:00 PM
@Wipqozn New Power Rangers movie.
 
Grimdark power rangers...? .... Yeah, there's probably someone who wants that.
 
@Yuuki Campy rangers is only rangers
 
There was a fan trailer along those lines awhile back. I didn't like it at all.
Grimdark is not my cup of tea.
@Wipqozn That's why RPM was so good. The campy elements more than made up for the grim setting.
 
So is it still semi racist? White ranger most powerful, black ranger is black, yellow ranger is Asian?
 
To be fair, Black Ranger was Asian in the second team.
Although I think the Yellow Ranger was black, so...
 
11:03 PM
there's a robot chicken about this
 
There's that.
 
Wasn't the original US Power Rangers heavily reusing footage from a Japanese show?
 
They all re-use the Japanese footage.
 
College Humor
 
11:04 PM
Any of the giant robot fights and most of the combat in suits is the Japanese footage.
 
I think I remember reading somewhere that the whole genre was partially created by this super weird 70s Spiderman live action TV show (in Japan)
Where Spiderman had a giant robot, you see.
 
I'm not even alittle surprised at how thios movie night vote is going
I need to shower, and then read.
Later all
I hope all of you, especially @GnomeSlice, have a fantastic evening.
 
@Wipqozn you are totally that kid who stole the pumpkin in the trailer
 
@GodEmperorDune Probably
 
Also it's got a lazy animation style
 
11:08 PM
Kid turns inot a ghost
IT's pretty fucked up
 
And you didn't even mention that Leonard nimoy is in it
 
Leonard Nimoy is dead but Adam Sandler isn't. That's fuct.
 
... Leonard Nimoy was a lot older than Adam Sandler? People die when they get old.
 
People die... when they get old?
 
Or when they get killed.

Q: How do I add vehicles to dispatch teams?

Q: Is there any way to leave an information layer view active while switching to another tool to build?

beastNot sure if I'm just missing something in the UI or if there's a Mod that might enable this functionality, but it seems like it would be really useful to be able to leave one of the views active while you're laying out roads / zones / districts.

 
The good news is, you'd have a basement room still. It's even a ton bigger than your current, and you don't have to share with a furnace.
The bad news is, you'd have a sliding door again.
 
Sliding door in a basement?
 
It works.
