The Bridge

2:00 PM

Oh for goodness sake, your answer was incomplete and wrong (it's not been a Steam beta feature for a very long time now)

badp

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Fair enough. Fixed

Also, @kotekzot's answer is by your reasoning also wrong because it's not the "latest" version of Steam that's got this feature

Somehow though I think you don't care about the question and are trying to make a different point here

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot Yay!

badp

or you wouldn't straight out ignored what I said, including the smiley noticing I wasn't being entirely serious

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria I have a tracking number and everything.

Also, bubble wrap envelopes are expensive.

StrixVaria

Did you get your card yet?

OrigamiRobot

2:06 PM

Yes

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@badp Okay, first, you can't flag repeat answers for deletion. Or maybe you can. The policy is stupidly unclear about this. Second, your answer is. was. wrong and incomplete. The question has 9 answers. Most of them suck, because they're outdated, or because the community upvoted them without knowing better.

badp

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Oh yes you can, "Very Low Quality"

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot Are you planning on using it for something or did you just want to fill out your collection of fetch lands?

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@badp Not when it has 5 upvotes

Should I find that animated facehoof now?

kalina

hello

badp

2:09 PM

@YiJiang'sEvilClone What does that tell you about my answer then?!

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria The latter for now. That collection now consists of 1.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@badp That it was upvoted because I LINKED IT HERE

kalina

@badp I know nothing about the current topic of conversation but I'm sure that as it is one of your answers it is probably bad.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Oh, and because you're a mod. That too.

badp

Oh fuck you @YiJiang'sEvilClone. I take offense to the idea that my posts get upvoted because I'm a mod

kalina

2:10 PM

I would downvote it, but you're not worth the reputation expenditure.

SaintWacko

Morning, Bridge

badp

I really do take offense to that. The community is very good about this, actually

kalina

@badp Take offence all you want, it's the truth.

badp

@kalina Have you been on meta lately?

kalina

In other news, the last several lines I have posted to chat are so tongue in cheek I look deformed.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

2:11 PM

Sorry, no. I'm not usually not this cynical, but the evidence says otherwise.

kalina

@badp No, I dislike meta, it's too vulnerable to groups of friends voting for each other

fredley

@kalina Amusing mental image

@kalina Groups of enemies voting against each other.

kalina

I prefer lengthy meta discussions in chat, as it removes the anonymous nature of voting

SaintWacko

Psh. Friends on meta

fredley

@SaintWacko Are you my meta-friend?

StrixVaria

2:13 PM

@OrigamiRobot When you have 4 of each you'll prize this first one.

kalina

@fredley I am your friend every which way.

fredley

►

@kalina ;-)

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria The Onslaught fetches are so expensive.

SaintWacko

@fredley Sure!

kalina

Just like I frequently upvote @fbueckert because he likes wearing suits

SaintWacko

2:14 PM

Fairly safe, considering I very rarely go on meta :P

fredley

@kalina I distrust all people in suits.

SaintWacko

Suits are wonderful

I need to get a new one

badp

@YiJiang'sEvilClone You know what the real problem is? That this is a duplicate of this

fredley

Plus nobody wears suits as well as me anyway

kalina

@fredley I said nothing about trust, I just have a thing for guys who dress up in suits

badp

2:15 PM

and I posted my "main" answer on the latter question

SaintWacko

I haven't gotten to wear one in so long that my old one doesn't fit :(

kalina

Just like I frequently upvote @badp because I want him to think that people here like him

2

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@badp Not really, since the other question also asks about whether or not Steam can read files off an external HDD in the first place

OrigamiRobot

@kalina CALLED IT

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot Pretty sure I had a Windswept Heath and traded it away for trash because I didn't know what I was doing in high school.

kalina

2:15 PM

@OrigamiRobot I have no 'thing' for @fbueckert, he just looks good in a suit

4

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

That's not in the original question, or addressed in any of the answers

fredley

@kalina @badp please mod this to @fbueckert

OrigamiRobot

@kalina suure

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

(I thought it was a duplicate for a moment too)

fbueckert

Why is everyone talking about me when I'm not here?

At least save the adulation to when I'm around to receive it!

fredley

2:16 PM

@fbueckert It's ok, we're saying nice things, I think

kalina

@fbueckert you were here, @SaintWacko said "morning bridge", which means you're here somewhere

2

Ben Brocka

I heard @fbueckert eats babies

4

fbueckert

@BenBrocka You're right. I do.

Baby Prinnies are my weakness.

SaintWacko

@BenBrocka Not just babies, orphan babies

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Look @badp, I'm sorry if I offended you, but I really cannot think of any other reason why your answer should "deserve" 3 upvotes (before the edit)

kalina

2:17 PM

ladies and gentlemen, I present to you a hatrick of double stars in the space of a minute.

fredley

@BenBrocka @spugsley punches them and @fbueckert eats them.

Ladineko

Howdy.

fredley

Delicious tenderized baby.

OrigamiRobot

@SaintWacko And he takes their candy first!

SaintWacko

@Ladineko Good morning

badp

2:18 PM

@YiJiang'sEvilClone The only part that was wrong about my post was the "beta" word. That wasn't wrong when I answered it

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot Much more difficult than popular expression would like you to believe

Ladineko

I truely wanna smash this PC out of frustration

SaintWacko

@Ladineko What's it doing?

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@badp It's also incomplete and clearly inferior to the second answer

fbueckert

@kalina And every one of them ping me. I HOPE you're happy.

badp

2:18 PM

There was an additional error in not mentioning that the feature is Windows-only, which I have now addressed

kalina

@fbueckert I am happy, are you happy?

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert I was half right on both counts. I'm counting that as a full right.

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Being right doesn't work like that.

badp

@YiJiang'sEvilClone It's a link to an answer that says pretty much the same things and has screenshots, plus I didn't overtake kotekzot in upvotes

fbueckert

Half right = half wrong.

@kalina Eh. Currently, easily amused.

Ladineko

2:19 PM

Its rather what i'm working with.

I'm trying to install a webserver on a bloody
@#$!
@!#$!%
@!#$%
@!#^#
*%^#(

Citrix server.

badp

Also I'm fairly certain this is wrong:

> Note that the Install dialogue will not offer the option to create a separate library on a drive that already has one, to do that you need to go to Steam -> Settings -> Downloads + Cloud -> Steam Library Folders and click on "Add library folder".

fredley

@Ladineko Haha, what's the problem?

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

The original was a pithy one liner which should've been a comment. It got 3 upvotes before the edit

Ben Brocka

Hey nice regex

SaintWacko

@Ladineko Sorry, can't help you there :P

kalina

2:19 PM

@fredley I'm guessing the keywords are "webserver" and "citrix server"

Ladineko

@fredley Everything is shut closed!

badp

@YiJiang'sEvilClone It's still a one liner - that links to the answer with screenshots and everything

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@badp I'll give this a try

fredley

@Ladineko Open them.

Ladineko

@fredley I dont even got premission to make a folder xD

fredley

2:20 PM

@Ladineko sudo

SaintWacko

@fredley Bah, beat me to it

That was fast

kalina

@Ladineko bounce it back to whoever maintains the servers

Ladineko

@fredley Im not the administrator of the Citrix server... another company is..

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert So? I'm counting one full right and one full wrong.

fredley

@SaintWacko sudo !! is my favourite command ever.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

2:20 PM

It's accurate - I have a Steam folder for D:, and in the dropdown menu there's only the option to install to that folder, not to create a new Steam folder in D:

Mana

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I understand the point you are making, but I think you are being a bit insulting, and that's not going to lend itself well towards sorting this out.

Ladineko

A client bought the server, and its up to us to install it

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot I take it that means you're just about done Mistborn, then?

SaintWacko

@fredley What does that do?

fredley

@SaintWacko Previous command, but sudo

kalina

2:21 PM

@OrigamiRobot two things = 2, 2 half rights = 2x0.5=1, which means that 1 out of 2 is still only half right

Ladineko

@kalina I'm nearly in a position to do that... including sending a hammer

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert I have like 15 pages left. I could not stay awake. Stupid cold.

badp

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Yes, it's accurate

kalina

@Ladineko package full of anfo with a cheap detonator attached to the surface you'd open

badp

(It doesn't make my answer less accurate, however.)

SaintWacko

2:22 PM

@fredley Ooh, very nice

I'll have to remember that

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot And Sanderson has written much more than just that book.

fredley

@SaintWacko e.g. I do /etc/init.d/nginx restart, forgetting sudo, I can just go sudo !!

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@Mana Look, either the community - nay, the people in this chatroom are a lot less intelligent than I thought, or there's something else that's going on here. I don't know. Both options annoy me. A lot.

fbueckert

Kiss your sleeping time goodbye.

SaintWacko

@fredley Right. I forget sudo all the time

fredley

2:22 PM

It feels so cathartic as well

badp

At any rate, have you flagged it or not?

Ladineko

Or a hacking device.... :)
Just leave it to someone who CAN make a citrix server

SaintWacko

Or, at least, I did when I used linux

OrigamiRobot

@kalina Sorry, I can't hear you over EXPLOSIONS

4

badp

I'm only a human being, it's obvious I'm biased towards it

fredley

2:23 PM

Cathartic bash commands are the best bash commands

badp

I think there are objective reasons to be biased towards it, but...

kalina

@badp one of them being you posted it

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

What? No. Why should I. The only reason why I linked it here in the first place is because I don't want to flag it

SaintWacko

And I'll be using linux again AS SOON AS CANONICAL RELEASES THE PREVIEW!

badp

@kalina thanks for pointing out the obvious

kalina

2:24 PM

@badp no worries, sometimes you higher-up type people miss the obvious

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

So I'm asking you to remove it. That was all.

badp

@YiJiang'sEvilClone only ~~20kers and~~ mods can delete it. Do you or do you not want it deleted

If you do then flag it. Write in a custom text or something

StrixVaria

@badp 20kers can only delete answers with a negative score.

badp

@StrixVaria oh, right, 20kers only lose the time restriction

fredley

Time to sass up my stylesheets

badp

2:26 PM

However. If you're going to ask it deleted and then you get the answer you don't like then don't put up a big show

I think I made a reasonable point for not deleting it, regardless of my ownership

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@badp I'll delete my account

(not)

Ben Brocka

Stop joking about deleting accounts or I'll delete my account

5

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

(Is the "delete account" thing a meme now?)

OrigamiRobot

I WILL EXPLODE MY ACCOUNT AND IT WILL BE BADASS!

Wipqozn

@BenBrocka If you delete your account I'll delete my account.

Ben Brocka

2:28 PM

Fruit roll ups need sections you can peel off. It's so awkward to eat them without just rolling them in a big ball and eating that

StrixVaria

@BenBrocka I hate when people do that.

fbueckert

@YiJiang'sEvilClone After Arda, yes.

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria Is there another way?

StrixVaria

I also hate when people eat string cheese without peeling off strings of cheese.

Wipqozn

Also, @YiJiang'sEvilClone, I honestly don't understand what your concern is with this question. We don't delete questions for being outdated, we update them (which @badp did). We also don't delete answers because someone came along and posted a better one.

Ben Brocka

2:29 PM

@StrixVaria The ball thing? I only do it out of necessity. I usually bite off bits until it's about half gone then I'm like "aw screw it"

Wipqozn

Although, I think @badps answer is better anyways. The images are easier to follow than the text. Maybe he should have posted it over in that question but... if he can just copy his other answer word from word that says something about the questions, not the answers.

badp

@Wipqozn we do get flags about one-liner answers to months-old questions that say nothing new than what the already-upvoted answers say, and we do delete those

However, this is simply not what happened here.

kalina

@badp brb flagging every answer you've ever made

badp

...in my opinion.

Wipqozn

@badp Exactly.

fredley

2:33 PM

@kalina That sounds like fun, also flagging every @badp post.

How many flags does something need for auto-deletion?

kalina

@fredley every @badp chat message

badp

@fredley If you choose the wrong ones, infinity

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@fredley 6 spam / offensive, though you're not going to use those

The others are all handled manually

djsmiley2k

urgh feel so sick :/

fredley

@kalina Oh. I think we should conspire with a few others to spam flag @badp's account out of existence.

djsmiley2k

2:34 PM

poorly tummy :(

kalina

.oO( six sockpuppets designed to flag as spam on everything that is higher voted than me )

fredley

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Could do

badp

@YiJiang'sEvilClone don't you need more flags if the post is upvoted?

SaintWacko

@kalina o.0

Wipqozn

@badp I think so, yeah.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

2:34 PM

@badp I don't think so? That was only for closing

fredley

@kalina Automation is a wonderful thing.

Wipqozn

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Oh, that might be what I'm thinking of.

fredley

@kalina Use about 100 sockpuppets, but select a quorum of 6 each time to do the flagging. It'll throw the abuse detection systems off the scent.

fbueckert

@fredley Pretty sure that would involve the SE devs to reverse it.

Ben Brocka

@badp I think that's only for delete votes

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

2:35 PM

@Wipqozn What I am. was. complaining about was the fact that his answer got three upvotes before the edit. Back when it was a one-liner.

fredley

@fbueckert Did you just say yes? I think you just said yes.

kalina

@fredley good thinking, I will need a botnet of unsuspecting people so that all 100 puppets come from different IP addresses too

fredley

@kalina Tor

kalina

@fredley yes!

fbueckert

@fredley Just pointing out that if you do that, they're gonna come down on you like a ton of bricks if they find out.

fredley

2:36 PM

@kalina Then use Selenium RC for automation.

kalina

@fbueckert glad you said 'if'

SaintWacko

@kalina Which one?

fredley

@fbueckert The worst they can do is delete my account and take away my invisible internet points

Wipqozn

@YiJiang'sEvilClone There's nothing wrong with one-liners so long as they answer the question. Some users prefer having a short concise answer, instead of a long one. Additionally, he links to a more detailed answer which is still more concise than the other answers (imo).

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

I don't particularly care if the answer was / is deleted. I do think it should be deleted, but opinions, etc. What I am flabbergasted by is the fact that a poor, incomplete and incorrect answer that was inferior to the answers that already exist got upvote merely because I dropped a link in here

fbueckert

2:37 PM

@fredley Very much so. You know how much people value those invisible internet points.

Wipqozn

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Because your opinion isn't the only opinion. You think it's an "inferior" answers, others disagree.

badp

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Overlooked things cease being overlooked when you post them! Fascinating

fredley

@Wipqozn My second most upvoted answer

kalina

@fbueckert yes but due to the system being automated, banning me would only result in more chaos as my campaign to remove every post from stackexchange in retaliation begins!

badp

@YiJiang'sEvilClone let me offer you however a different explanation however

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

2:37 PM

@Wipqozn *shrug* You tell me that @badp's original answer was better. I dare you.

fbueckert

Sidenote: Why are obviously off-topic questions getting upvotes?

kalina

@fbueckert we had this particular discussion earlier

fredley

@fbueckert The patients have been running the asylum for a while now.

badp

I posted the answer with the screenshot and the answer with the link in quick succession

I think they're only minutes apart

People thought I was trying to get rep from answers on both questions and only upvoted one - obviously, the target answer at +8 score with screenshots and everything

Wipqozn

@YiJiang'sEvilClone To be honest, I don't see any point in continuing this conversation. You're a pretty awesome guy, but you're being really stubborn and aggressive right now. I think continuing this conversation is just going to be a waste of every ones time.

badp

2:39 PM

(which I find no fault with honestly, although rep grabbing/double dipping isn't what I was going for)

fbueckert

@fredley This is why the Marshal needs more downvotes.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@Wipqozn Fair enough.

Ben Brocka

@fbueckert because downvotes are meaaan

kalina

@fbueckert nothing stopping you from downvoting all of your rep away

in fact, gogo, get to it

finish 2013 with a negative net rep gain and be unique.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina I don't think there are enough answers on this site for that to be possible

@fbueckert who ever said correctness was required in political statements?

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert So glad what can't be starred out of context? When @kalina said you wished she was under you?

kalina

@fbueckert If they're not, I bet @OrigamiRobot is writing many on behalf of the others, this is his fantasy afterall

oh

hello corner! you look lonely, I shall sit just here

That was the best.

@kalina Actually, @Mana is writing all the fanfics.

@kalina Nooooo my secret is out!

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Surface Detail by Iain M. Banks
Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood
The Demolished Man by Alfred Bester
Asimov's 20th Anniversary Anthology

fbueckert

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Ooh, Asimov.

I grew up on his work.

badp

Asimov? Good stuff.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@fbueckert Not the author, the magazine

And someone left this comment on my Sci-fi & Fantasy question

badp

Oh.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

2:57 PM

I haven't read Year of the Flood, but I find it hard to believe that there's anything significant in the appalling mess that was Oryx and Crake. Note that this question is probably officially off-topic, as Atwood claims that she does not write SF, despite obviously doing so. — Daniel Roseman 4 hours ago

I guess he's not a fan

badp

is confused at the mention of Atwood

fbueckert

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Apparently, we're qualified to be book snobs.

Ben Brocka

@fbueckert Wonder if the PS3 version will have to wait for the PS4 launch

badp

oh, right, Margaret. Heh

fbueckert

@BenBrocka I saw the proposed UI mockup. Ugh.
