@StrixVaria should run for mod. I'd vote for him.
 
@Wipqozn Yay \o/
 
are you declaring @Wipqozn?
 
@GodEmperorDune If I answer that question it would spoil the mystery.
I'd hate to ruin the mystery
 
The mystery will ruin it's self in a week
 
ugh i don't want to wait 7 days
 
9:02 PM
Clearly you should make a time machine
 
WAHAT
NO
 
i've made a time machine and seen the results, but the temporal prime directive prevents me from sharing them
@ardaozkal ?
 
I'M CRYING
PAYPAL IS LEAVING TURKEY :(
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune uses her cyborg nanites to sneak into your brain for the results
 
@GodEmperorDune You'll need to, too, because if I do declare, I'll wait until the last possible minute.
 
9:04 PM
@AshleyNunn your nanites built the time mach... oh right that didn't happen yet
 
All the cool kids will wait until the last possible minute
 
soo I'll not be able to use bandcamp anymore :( cc @GnomeSlice
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune That explains those mysterious blueprints I keep seeing floating in front of my eyes
 
and itchio
 
@AshleyNunn yep
if i had a time machine, i'd look at the arqade election results and what the next KOL iotm is
because clearly these are the most important things
 
user15026
9:06 PM
@GodEmperorDune That is a great use of time machine powers, I agree
 
Oh neat, elections are up
 
@twobugs you should run
make streaming great again
 
I doubt anyone would actually nominate me
And there's 0 chance I would self-nominate
 
bddk (banka daireleri düzenleme kurulu - banking regulation thingy) apparently ruled that paypal should stop working with turkish people in 7 days.
 
@twobugs i nominate you
your nomination will be the @twobugs of arqade elections
 
9:13 PM
Homebrew paypal: do or not?
 
You want to make a thing like paypal?
 
paypal is shutting down in turkey

Q: GrimDawn GDTH How to

bojanglesSo I have the Grim Dawn trainer and I was wondering, why doesn't it work? I have the latest version. What I'm confused on is why doesn't it apply the changes when I hit apply changes? Does it have something to do with my anti virus?

 
And you want to make a thing like paypal?
 
9:13 PM
I can't.
 
user15026
@ardaozkal I assume this would not be an easy thing nor a smart thing
 
Then what do you mean by homebrew paypal?
 
@ardaozkal did they say why?
 
I mean, paypal is rather shitty
 
But if you remade PayPal you could become like Elon Musk!
 
9:15 PM
@AshleyNunn not easy yet smart.
 
And skirts a lot of regulations
 
Hm I beat Ratchet and Clank (2016). Platinum on that would be kinda annoying
I'd have to beat the game at least once more

bddk (banka daireleri düzenleme kurulu - banking regulation thingy) apparently ruled that paypal should stop working with turkish people in 7 days.
 
@ardaozkal do you have several million dollars laying around?
 
Paypal applied to be a legal bank like in all other countries, they got denied and got shut down.
 
user15026
9:15 PM
@ardaozkal well, no, not if you're just random person expecting to be in charge of other people's money for reasons
 
@KevinvanderVelden not smart.
 
@ardaozkal oh, ok
 
Because if so maybe you'll have a chance at making a system as good as paypal! You still will need a billion to get it to the adoption needed to make it useful
 
the homebrew paypal thingy was a joke btw
 
But if you remade PayPal you could become like Elon Musk!
 
9:16 PM
@fredley meh, I'll stick with kerbal on rockets.
> Bir PayPal üye işyerinde düzenli ödemeler gerektiren aboneliğim var. Bunlar etkilenecek mi?
Evet. 6 Haziran 2016 tarihinden itibaren geçerli olmak üzere PayPal üye işyeri abonelikleriniz için ödeme yapmanız artık mümkün olmayacaktır. Diğer uygun ödeme seçeneklerini araştırmak için ilgili PayPal üye işyeri ile görüşmenizi tavsiye ederiz.
 
kerbal bank program
 
wow
that is huge
they are also shutting down recurring payments.
 
Raise your hand if you think @ardaozkal is the only person in chat who reads turkish. raises hand
 
message above yours is the translation
 
user15026
raises hand
 
9:18 PM
@ardaozkal so no banks in turkey can do recurring payments?
 
> I have a subscription that requires regular payments for a PayPal merchant. Will they be affected?
Yeah. 6 June 2016, to be effective from the date you pay for your PayPal merchant subscriptions will no longer be possible. We encourage you to talk with their PayPal merchant to explore other payment options available.
 
lowers hand
@GodEmperorDune well, paypal wasn't recognized as a bank
 
@GodEmperorDune probably more like paypal can't become a turkish bank
 
@KevinvanderVelden google indexes the chatroom and reads turkish
 
So it can't do the bank things
 
9:19 PM
I did a thing
 
You nominated yourself
 
@KevinvanderVelden yep
nice one @uni
 
I called it even before looking
 
user15026
@Unionhawk A thing has been done!
 
ugh englsih is terrible
> I wish you good luck with your nomination.
sounds passive agressive
> I wish you good luck with your nomination!
also does, but less
 
9:22 PM
@ardaozkal wtf
 
totally
 
A NEW CHALLENGER APPEARS
 
there will be many layoffs for this.
 
@uni what is your official stance on the isuniwrong.com website?
 
wtf badass
is Soldier:76 one of the bad guys
 
9:23 PM
No
 
> old habits die hard
> not any more
are you sure
 
Lorewise, yeah
 
He's one of the original Overwatch members
 
@GnomeSlice The name of the clip is literally 'Hero''
 
He was the leader of overwatch (official international good guys (TM))
 
9:24 PM
He's just a grumpy old man now
 
oh, is he widowmakers husband
 
Now he's a vigilante
 
Since Overwatch is technically not legal anymore
 
@KevinvanderVelden wasn't winston that? or tracer?
 
No, he's not
 
9:24 PM
I have grAphRTed the main reason why we ART requARTing two addtional modrARTers
 
@GnomeSlice wut
 
@GnomeSlice no, widowmaker is a widow
 
Widowmaker's husband is dead
 
user image

oh. duh.
 
9:24 PM
@ardaozkal nope, winston is the current leader
 
oh
 
@GnomeSlice also fun fact: The person she made a widow? Herself.
 
Yeah Widow's story is kinda fuct
 
@KevinvanderVelden wait, who was her husband? the robot guy?
 
I promise to provide you daily modabuse if I get elected.
 
9:25 PM
@GodEmperorDune No, this was earlier in the lore
 
Her husband was an Overwatch agent so bad guys kidnapped her and brainwashed her to become an assassin sleeper agent
 
Yeah, they wanted to assisnate her husband but the security was to tight
 
Also I'll build a wall to keep minecraft modded tech questions out and make mojang pay for it (they should disable mods, duh).
 
So she killed her husband and there's basically none of her original personality left
RIP
 
@twobugs its a bit fuct if you ask me
 
9:26 PM
@ardaozkal We don't need a Drrumpf.
 
@Frank are you running?
 
@Frank the wall just got 10 feet higher!
 
@twobugs well she killed her husband and then was sent for more mind control and more body tweaking
 
1 hour ago, by Frank
I'm not even sure I want to run as a mod again.
 
@KevinvanderVelden where is that lore?
one of the comics?
@Frank what will you lose if you do?
 
9:27 PM
@ardaozkal And I would actively run against you for that reason alone.
 
Anyway, I'm not going to self-nominate. If someone actually wants to nominate me (I can't imagine anyone does, but just in case) please speak with me beforehand.
 
@Frank mission completed!
 
you cannot actually nominate others
you can only nominate yourselves
 
You can't? That's... not really nomination then
 
9:27 PM
I'm actually a ton busier than I was at last elections.
 
Huh.
 
yes.
 
@Frank ooh that makes sense. Good thing about being 16 is that you have loads of free time
 
Well, I guess that makes everything easier!

Q: Elections Pedantry: Change Nomination to Declaration

LessPop_MoreFizzYes yes, I know I'm a pedant. The fact is, this is something that has always bugged me in elections wherein the candidates are not selected by a subset of voters, but rather merely by declaration of candidacy. Nominate someone else for public office. Declare your own candidacy. Please change ...

 
9:28 PM
I mean, we are trying to elect @twomods.
 
@ardaozkal That's about the only advantage of being 16.
 
@twobugs so can we log in as you yet
 
@Frank not only
I can write terrible code and still get to newspapers and invited to tedx events.
 
@ardaozkal Writing terrible code isn't an advantage.
 
9:30 PM
@Frank people not caring about the quality of code is the bonus
 
@ardaozkal That's not a bonus. That's working for terrible people.
 
(I've been improving my code style lately though)
I'm not working for anyone.
 
@badp I support this
 
Either open-source or closed-source and a storefront.
 
Well I'm going to a family barbecue, but if anyone actually wants me to run please contact me. I'm not going to declare otherwise
 
user15026
9:32 PM
@twobugs This reminds me I should make dinner
 
I'll go through all my repos and make the code actually decent in a month though.

Q: Can I choose only a select amount of video to "share"?

KtashThe other day I was playing a game and something really cool happened. I'd never really done it before but I wanted to save the clip and knew that option existed so I hit the share button. I hit "Save Video", but the crappy thing is, it didn't give me an option for how much video to save. So, ins...

 
9:34 PM
what is with all the lesbian tracer/widowmaker fanart
 
Rule 34 is still in effect
 
@GnomeSlice must not google must not google must not google must not google must not google
 
@twobugs jeez how many times do I have to say that I want you to run
 
@GodEmperorDune but has senpai noticed you yet
 
@badp nope
 
9:35 PM
I think you need to show him a physical token of support
 
Kwaaaaaa
 
YOU NEED TO ART HIM A VOTING CONFESSION
 
THERE IS EVEN A TUMBLR DEDICATED TO NSFW OVERWATCH ART WAT
 
AND REVEAL TO HIM YOUR ULTIMATE FEELINGS
 
I'll let @GodEmperorDune murder me so he can give @twobugs my heart as a token of appreciation.

Oh wow, we're having an election

@ardaozkal there is a overwatch porn website, why are you surprised there's a tumblr?
 
@badp Did you want my heart?
 
@KevinvanderVelden there... is?
 
@fredley I will only vote for turtle @Wipqozn
 
9:37 PM
wow, there is.
 
there should also be a subreddit and, well, everything else
 
@fredley I've decided to keep when/if announce a secret, so that I don't ruin the mystery and suspense.
 
@Wipqozn I'm on the edge of my seat
 
> site may load slowly due to high traffic
 
@badp Yeah but a full website is something that takes time skill and money to make, neither a subreddit nor a tumblr do.
 
9:38 PM
> high traffic
 
@KevinvanderVelden is that a challenge
 
@badp yes.
 
@badp yes. Make a website dedicated to your ART-ing
 
no I don't think @KevinvanderVelden is sufficiently foolish
@KevinvanderVelden the website dedicated to my ARTs is chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/35/the-bridge
 
Nope, not a website you made

A: 2016 Moderator Election Q&A - Question Collection

fredleyAs a community, we have our fair share of divisive issues, often hashed out at length in meta and on chat, usually with strong arguments either way. As a moderator, what do you see as your role during these community disagreements?

 
@fredley people with lots of time, potentially unemployed, because I can't imagine anyone having that much time and a job
 
I would like to have the candidates not boast about their bridge room ownership status in their speeches. The good part of the joke was that it gave us ample opportunity to experiment with granting additional power to several people, thus letting us have a taste of what they'd do granted additional power, but that died with the joke, and those who happened to be owners then kinda got stuck there.
like -- it's okay to say HOW you used it when you have (had) it
but just saying that you have it seems a little bit shallow to me.

Q: Do multiple healing effects stack?

DCShannonIf a player is receiving two instances of the same healing effect, like Lucio's aura, Mercy's beam, Soldier: 76's zone, or Zenyatta's orb, do they stack? What if a team had six Lucios standing in a point? Would they all be getting 6x healing?

 
10:25 PM
@badp yep
 
I'm pretty sure most people don't even realize what I do with my italics. I try to be a silent ninja.
 
well I'm sure you'll be happy to explain
 
@Wipqozn you don't put lame tags in the room description, for one
 
some people don't because they are VERY AFRAID of some or other. Or maybe they just agree that we have tags, we have the best tags
 
@badp I basically just pin and unpin things, and cancel stars when someone spams stars. I occasionaly will unstar messages which were inflammatory but got starred during a heated argument to avoid drama surfacing again.
 
10:27 PM
@Wipqozn Hey, I almost got enough votes to be mod.
 
We're normally good about not starring inflammatory stuff, but sometimes in a really heated exchange folks start starring stuff to be passive aggressive, and it can only lead to more upset feeligns and drama later if it sticks around too long after the drama is over.
 
room topic changed to The Bridge: General Arqade chat, wherein we have tags, we have the best tags, the tag list just got five longer, and we're making our next two mods pay for it [+murder] [+wrong] [-context] [-fun] [jin-fanclub] [lazers]
the joke is that the tag list actually got shorter
 
you've deported some tags?
 
I wonder if @Yuuki will run for mod. Part of me thinks he'd be a good mod, but I'm concerned he'd use his powers to edit all of our messages into pictures of delicious food, and then edit our avatars, and then edit us into food in real life.

@Wipqozn still, pretty different
 
Blood & Wine is downloading right now, looks like they're releasing it half an hour early
 
I really need to play The Witcher series.
 
@Fluttershy the first one hasn't aged well
 
#MAKECOALGREATAGAIN
 
@badp I will edit mine shortly.
 
I'd start with the third one. I really like the first two games, but the third one is probably a better introduction
 
@Chippies I noticed that when I tried playing it a few weeks ago, but I'd still like to give it a go for the story, I think.
 
10:38 PM
The first one has some pacing issues, especially in the swamp in the second chapter
 
@Fluttershy I tried, but gave up. The whole mentality that I have to finish the first before I move to second is what made me stop playing the series :/
 
@Chippies It makes me not play a lot of games. :(
 
I quit Saints Row 2 half way and moved on to 3 and that was the best decision I made with those games
I would personally just look up a summary of the story of first game and move on to 2nd
I haven't played the 2nd yet, but I hear it's a lot more modern than first one
 
The second one had a bloody hard tutorial when it was released, but they fixed that now
 
@MadScientist this
 
10:40 PM
The tutorial was probably the most difficult part of the game by far
 
Done

2 is pretty problematic (speed issues, control issues, the method of getting jobs etc). 3 is best to start from.
2 is a serious game though. 3 and after contain sillier parts, which is pmuch what makes SR games fun.
 
@ardaozkal I wouldn't say 3 is best to "start" from, considering it's the latest game in series, so you're not really "starting' from it, you're just skipping all others
 
10:42 PM
what game are we talking about?
3 mins ago, by Chippies
I quit Saints Row 2 half way and moved on to 3 and that was the best decision I made with those games
isn't it SR?
SR has more than 2 and 3: 4 and GoH.
 
Witcher series I believe
 
@ardaozkal we were talking about Witcher, I just mentioned SR as something I quit halfway to move on to next one
 
oooh derp
 
Saints Row 3 is a fun game though
Real talk
 
@Unionhawk You take that back
 
10:43 PM
No
 
(I actually enjoyed it alright, just wanted to say that)
 
I will instead repeat it in all caps
 
Witcher 1 didn't age well
 
SAINTS ROW THE THIRD IS A FUN GAME
 
SR3 and 4 were amazing, GoH was pretty disappointing but still fun
 
10:44 PM
So Witcher 2 and 3 maybe?
@Chippies GoH was still fun, yet didn't feel like a complete SR. I pre-ordered it and I don't regret it.
 
@Unionhawk Hooligan! Rabble-Rouser!
 
@ardaozkal That's what I said, I would recommend anyone just skip Witcher 1 as it might leave you with a bad taste for the series if you never move on to Witcher 2
@ardaozkal it was fun, but it was super short and it didn't feel like a core Saints Row game at all
it felt like it could've easily been a DLC for SR4
 
Well, I spent 56 hours on SR4 and 68 hrs on SR3 and 23 hours on SRGoH. It was short, but not too short for its price. But yeah, it didn't feel like a core SR at all. Mainly due to progression thingy and the lack of customization etc.
TODO: Play the DLC content on SR4.
 
@Chippies Hmm... I may actually do this.
 
@ardaozkal 57 on SR3, 62 on SR4 and 15 on GoH for me
 
10:48 PM
@Unionhawk Honestly, I've thoroughly enjoyed all of the Saints Row games. Some even more than GTA.
 
SR4 >> SR3
 
@Chippies I %100d GoH and SR3 though (and messed around with friends on MP). I guess you rushed a bit :P
@badp not necessarily.
 
considering I bought each of the game for around 8$ or so (SR3 for less, it was in a bundle), I didn't find them to lack content for the price, but considering I paid same amount for GoH as I did for SR4, it did seem a lot shorter
 
@Fluttershy 4 was meh
But I only played 3 and 4
 
@ardaozkal SR3 always crashed for me in MP in one of the early missions
 
10:50 PM
SR4 is more fun, but SR3 is more like GTA V.
 
so I didn't bother with mp
 
most of the bullshit in SR3 is definitely made quite tolerable by the superpowers
 
@Chippies we played MP on lategame
so we actually enjoyed the game seperately
 
and really if you're gonna play a power trip simulation
 
@ardaozkal you couldn't jump in MP from wherever, you had to start a campaign from start
 
10:50 PM
why would you settle for having less power
 
MP had a separate, but same campaign
at least in SR3
 
I don't think so, maybe it was patched.
 
either way, I got 95% of achievs for SR3
 
literally the main problem with SR4 for me is that for some reason they made the water look like garbage
 
@badp the electro effect?
yeah it sucked.
Best thing about SR is that it has onboard mod support and official mod forum: saintsrowmods.com
 
10:53 PM
I dunno about the SR4 expandalone angels and devils thing
it's probably not very good
 
@badp gat out of hell?
 
yeah

Fun, but not SR-style fun.
 
@Wipqozn I don't think I have nearly enough meta or review queue participation to seriously run for mod.
Although acquiring the ability to mod-edit food images is indeed tempting.
