Q: What moveset should my Skitty have to be useful?

I wan't to keep Skitty in my main team for the majority of the game, but I'd like to know what moves should I teach or remove in order to make it as useful as possible? If it matters I'm going to be playing Pokemon White 2.

Q: How do I move software cursors with AutoHotKey?

It seems that games with software cursors only respond to actual mouse movement and not commands like MouseMove from AutoHotKey. Is there a way to get these unruly games to recognize commands that move the mouse via AutoHotKey? I play on OnLive. This may matter because of the mechanism of the un...

Morning, Bridge

@SaintWacko G'morning.

I'm bored and want to go home

I also want to grow wings and become a princess

user15026

@blem I did manage sleep but woke up with a sore throat so that kinda suckd

@GrumpyLazers Not sure how constructive this can be; movesets tend to be rather personal, and tailored for specific goals.

2:10 PM

@GrumpyLazers I'm not sure this is a gaming question

@kalina Technically, it's about onlive; just crappily titled.

@fredley FREDLEY IS PRETTY PRINCESS MADE OF SUGAR PLUMS but most of all FREDLEY IS WISE PRINCESS

@badp ...

@fredley ...and a little drunk.

@badp Why are you linking to things that aren't past chat messages?

2:16 PM

user image

Hot dogs are like porkchops right?

@OrigamiRobot You are dead to me

Spam. Spammity spam spam

@fredley for the GLORIOUS SOUND EFFECTS

@badp I see

(mostly it was to put wisdom in your mouth though.)

2:19 PM

@fredley I was alive to you? You really don't understand robots, do you?

~It's time to hear Team Fortress 2~

@badp ...

@OrigamiRobot He was just stating the obvious.

@OrigamiRobot You passed the turing test, therefore I can't even tell if you're alive

adds that recovery to @fredley's bill

2:20 PM

Nobody understands robots

except Susan Calvin

@Sconibulus I'm so misunderstood :(

user image

photoshop level: north korea

@badp sigh

@OrigamiRobot Maybe the fact you're misunderstood might be your fault?

@badp Can't see it, but did you mean North Korea or South Korea?

@Powerlord whichever

2:24 PM

(This is in reference to the South Korea state newspaper which tends to do really bad photoshop jobs)

South Korean Photoshop skills not good

@OrigamiRobot me too, join the club

@kalina If people did understand you, would you be happy?

@kalina We have so much in common.

yes, life would be so much easier

@OrigamiRobot sorry I have more in common with fredley than with you, we have each other on steam

2:26 PM

I don't even have @fredley on steam

@OrigamiRobot Only special people have me on steam

I'll leave you to make conclusions

@kalina Have you tried speaking with an Indian accent. According to companies, they're the best, most easily understood people.

user image

@fredley I am not a person. I do not meet the criteria.

Which is why they have lots of call centers for English-speaking companies.

2:27 PM

@Powerlord since you know nothing about me, I could be of Indian origin for all you know, making this comment highly insulting

@Powerlord I worked in Bangalore with such people. They were all better educated than you.

(the first part anyway)

(and the second part, assuming your sarcasm)

user image

@BenBrocka I see that as the CEO getting chucked out the window.

debating flagging

2:30 PM

@BenBrocka so Megaman and Madden are both about to celebrate their 25th anniversary? Oh joy.

@fredley Also, fdisk7mbr

@fredley Should I even point out that you don't know anything about my education?

@Powerlord I'm making a guess based on probability

There is a chance that I'm wrong, but it's small

@fredley I have used this exact line before...

...different context

And I'll also point out that I said nothing about their education, but rather how easy it is to understand them.

2:32 PM

and it was a semi colon instead of a comma

@Powerlord 'best'

@Powerlord I still reckon if I flagged it and then pretended to be genuinely upset that you had insulted my heritage when the fun police arrive that you'd still get banned

@kalina Make a sock puppet

Except that other people can see it's clearly a non-issue, and the ban would be immediately revoked. Also, oh noes! 30 minute chat ban? D:

@Fluttershy god, just ruin all of my fun why don't you

2:35 PM

@kalina It's what I do.

I didn't realise that you hated me as well!

foreveralone.jpg

@fredley So... you interpret "best, most easily understood" as two separate contexts instead of one?

@Powerlord Yes

Proving that you are the one who is difficult to understand

Case closed

@Powerlord yes, because "best, most easily understood" is terrible English

Best is a terrible word, I hate it

2:36 PM

@fredley It's the best word! It says so right there.

Or rather, I hate the way people use it

@fredley I hate it best

PaperStare @Fluttershy

@kalina Okay, that is terrible English.

@fredley Fail xD

I find it interesting though how you somehow expanded "best" to "more educated" deriving context that wasn't present.

2:37 PM

Right, I need to reimplement PaperStare

@OrigamiRobot Code plox

Are we really allowing this? O_o

I hadn't seen it yet

@Powerlord There's a word for that... What is it... it's on the tip of my tongue...

@Fluttershy I VTC but nobody else did

That sounds like ITH

2:38 PM

@Fluttershy lips

@Fluttershy teeth

@Fluttershy tastebuds

@Fluttershy icecream

@Fluttershy At the very least, it's crappy research. Shows no effort, and doesn't even point at what needs identification.

@Fluttershy cake

@Fluttershy kisses

@kalina I see someone else is aware that there is no comfortable space in your mouth for a tongue. It just sits there awkwardly.

@kalina :o Why, I had no idea you felt that way.

@Fluttershy semen

I mean, technically, there's a concrete artifact that can be pointed at, so I dunno. I don't like it at all, though.

2:40 PM

user image

games are concrete artifacts

@Sconibulus games are not made from concrete

this seems almost exactly like "Identify this game from memory" qualitatively

@kalina Brick Jenga almost counts

@Sconibulus bricks are not made from concrete

That's why I said almost

2:42 PM

@fredley No

Cinderblock Jenga?

@OrigamiRobot Ok, making own

I haven't tried that one, but it could maybe be a thing

@Sconibulus now you're just making things up

@Sconibulus I could probably play that at my parent's place.

It would probably be very dangerous.

2:43 PM

Brick Jenga was pretty dangerous too

but so much fun

@Fluttershy I keep my tongue on the roof of my mouth.

knowing which bricks were smoothest was kinda more important than observing structural stability

Hi, I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite chat room on the StackExchange.

@OrigamiRobot That's where mine usually stays. Unless I'm eating or something.

@Sconibulus I wonder if spending several hours sanding them to uniform smoothness would be something that happened.

2:45 PM

@fbueckert Not when you're playing with bricks pulled out of the ground because you're bored at college

@Sconibulus If it's something you plan on playing again, it might be something worth doing.

we grabbed probably 2 dozen and built a little tower

then put them back after it fell a few times

Of course, to do it properly, you'd want it to be at least ~5 feet high.

They were kinda part of the walkway

Q: Was there ever a voiced version of Monkey Island 2?

I have vague memories of Monkey Island 2 being fully voiced, but am worried that I might be slightly delusional. Was there a voiced version of MI2 (prior to the Special Edition) or did the voice acting start in MI3?

Q: Installing Overviewer on Windows Minecraft server

I am having a lot of trouble setting this up, and I find that the instructions on the Overviewer site far too concise. I have the files dowloaded and I have a good idea about the scripting, but I really need a simpler and more direct listing of how to.

Q: Flower patch in Taverley?

I'm doing the new God Emissaries quest things, and on the third quest, I am asked to create a diversion near the flower patch in Taverley... Where is this flower patch?

2:46 PM

we didn't feel we could disable it forever

@GrumpyLazers Voice Acting started in CMI / MI3.

Potential bot found

Time to see if I can get it working

@GrumpyLazers Apparently the user managed to figure it out on his own; too localized?

@fbueckert if we close every self answered question on the site, that would be bad

@kalina Context. Please read.

2:51 PM

@fbueckert who lets a little thing like context get in the way

@kalina Hard to make general, sweeping statements when context is around!

This is The Bridge. We don't deal with context.

@fbueckert actually no, I'd rather agree with you, context is important

continuing with my disagreement means I'm agreeing with @OrigamiRobot and we can't have that

@kalina agrees with me!? Have I died or something?

Hmmm. I wonder what part of the cookie I need?

2:53 PM

@kalina You could issue a concurring opinion with one of them. That's only a partial agreement

It's basically saying, yes, you chose the right binary option, but this was the reason you should have done it, not that reason you like

test

@fbueckert No, you're asleep.

@fredley Did you pass?

@Powerlord Oh. Well, that explains the surrealness I'm currently experiencing.

@Powerlord We'll find out

@fbueckert that's euphoria

2:55 PM

@kalina No, I'm checking my pulse to see if what's happening actually happened.

user15026

I wish there was somewhere that would deliver breakfast to me.

@AshleyNunn Me too... but they don't. So I just went out and got a sandvich from the deli down the street.

What's that, sandvich? Kill them all? Good idea!

user15026

@powerlord I am debating walking to a bakery close to me and seeing what they have.

@AshleyNunn ...man, I want a massive breakfast now. Eggs and ham and bacon and sausage. Mmmmmmmm.

don't forget beans and toast

2:59 PM

I was running late to work and hoped to grab something from our snack shop (they have bagels and breakfast sandwiches), but it's closed.

One guy got bruised up when a refrigerator tipped over (and thankfully hit the island in the shop instead of falling completely on him) and the other is sick today.

@fbueckert More like NARQ, I think

"I thought I had a problem, but it turns out I was just not following instructions."

@Sterno Works for me!

user15026

@powerlord oh man I am glad he didn't get totally crushed under the fridge.

Hmmm, my bot is being problematic

@fredley Why are you creating a chat bot?

3:03 PM

@kalina What kind of beans are used in this?

@Powerlord Because @OrigamiRobot disabled his

@fredley Because of you!

@kalina baked beans are the worst kind of beans. Still delicious.

but why? We already have a bot.

Whenever I post the file called "what.png" on my desktop, fredley always goes "sigh"

Kidney beans are the best kind.

@OrigamiRobot Lima beans are awful

3:05 PM

@Sconibulus False.

Well this rebol bot just plain doesn't work

Also, we call those butter beans in the south.

We do?

How far south are you?

North Carolina

@Sconibulus mexico

3:06 PM

Australia

Antarctica

Huh, they're Lima beans in Virginia

user15026

@sconibulus agreed. They are the worst bean

Just tried to order some wings on the phone. I had to ask the person like 5 times to repeat themselves because they just kept mumbling

That, or I'm getting old.

Well, Virginia is wrong

3:07 PM

@Sterno getting?

@AshleyNunn You shut your face.

Green beans are also delicious.

user15026

@origamirobot make me.

green beans are very tasty

they might be the only kind I really like

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say refried beans are awesome.

When I go to this Mongolian stir fry place, I get green beans, shrimp, and rice. I know it sounds gross, but it's so good.

3:08 PM

I find most beans to be tolerable, but not enjoyable

user15026

I like green ones and yellow ones and baked ones and refried ones

Yellow beans?

beans that are yellow

user15026

@origamirobot yellow beans, aka wax beans?

Never heard of them.

user15026

3:10 PM

They are yummy. We usually grow them with green beans.

They look like green beans.

user15026

They are kinda the same but yellow

user15026

With a little different texture

@OrigamiRobot We've got a stir fry chain here where you load up a bowl with all the stuff you want, they fry it on the spot.

Interesting

3:11 PM

I always add egg to everything. Makes it SO good.

@fbueckert Yea, that's what this place is like.

Oh yea, also eggs.

user15026

@fbueckert we have a similar thing here. It is so goooooood

Genghis Grill or something like that?

@AshleyNunn It's not called Mongo's, by chance, is it?

"Here is a metal bowl. If you can cram it in here, we will cook it for you."

3:12 PM

We have a handful of those scattered around

@Sconibulus Yea that's the place I'm talking about.

user15026

@fbueckert no, it's like Mongolian Grill or something.

user15026

But it sounds pretty damn similar

@OrigamiRobot and you can add things like mushrooms and stuff to the edges of the bowl interleaved to fit more stuff in?

@Sconibulus Yep.

user15026

3:12 PM

Now I really wanna go there

@AshleyNunn Yeah. Making your own stir fry plate is awesome.

They have croutons and such on the side, so you can add some crunch to it.

Along with various hot sauces.

I also went to a place called Steak on a Stone where they bring you a raw steak and a 400 degree piece of rock for you to cook it on.

oooh, that sounds tasty

It was the best steak ever.

@OrigamiRobot I think that's how Japan does it.

They barely cook it, and bring it out to you on a heated rock.

You take it off once you get it the way you like it.

3:14 PM

@fbueckert Yea, this place just seared the outside.

aww, apparently it's only in Ohio

steakonastone.us

sorry for the spam

isn't seared outside the way all steak should be cooked always and forever?

@Sconibulus Yep, I go visit family up there every Thanksgiving.

@badp We're talking about steak, not spam.

3:16 PM

@OrigamiRobot You haven't been spammed. I'm not sorry for you.

Dammit, now I want steak.

And breakfast.

Steak and eggs.

For once: Thank god for chat rate limits

PaperStare @kalina

people flooding through the use of scripts was one of the funniest things in IRC

PaperStare @fr

Why is @fredley Paperstareing?

PaperStare @fredley

I thought that was an @Origami thing

@Sconibulus He got tired of me turning it off.

Ironic since he's the one that made me turn it off.

you should both have it on at the same time!

Then we can combo it

e.g. PaperStare @PaperStare @PaperStare @PaperStare @PaperStare @PaperStare @OrigamiRob

Why would that require us both to have it on?

Shog9 on May 31, 2013

Community management at Stack Exchange is an… Interesting job. Parts sociologist, cat-wrangler, therapist, software analyst and cheerleader, this small band of dedicated people work daily to make sure each individual community has the tools and support you need to be as awesome as you are. Of course, we don’t do it alone: from the very start, Stack Exchange attracted some amazingly helpful and insightful folk who’ve donated their time and effort to help out – and I’m pleased to announce that we’re adding one of them, Tim Post, to our full-time staff of Community Managers. …

@Wipqozn great choice!

Doesn't it ignore commands issued by itself?

@Ender I must admit, it's rather impressive that you had a book written about you.

@Sconibulus No

4:23 PM

@OrigamiRobot This needs to move down the street from me.

They like me! They really LIKE me!

Also, why would @fredley call it PaperStare? He's a porkchop.

@Wipqozn Apparently there was a game, too.

@OrigamiRobot Maybe it should be MeatStare?

@fbueckert No.

That's just wrong.

4:27 PM

Maybe we should rename it to HandsomeStare and use that horrifying picture of me with robot parts instead.

Roboqozn

Oi

Finally

Only took reloading the SE pages for some 10min to get them to load properly

@OrigamiRobot I think you should change your gravatar and name to Roboqozn.

You guys are bad at starring

@Sterno Yeah, well, you're bad at not being a creepy old man!

@Wipqozn That's not nice. Sterno's not old.

@Coronus He totally is. He's like, 50 billion million years old.

The star list right now makes me wish I could ban all of you.

@Ullallulloo What I don't understand is that the people who read this internet ad clearly have the internet, and thus don't need the guide.

I like that @GraceNote's pinned comment applies pretty much any time you look at it.

Just one or two more normal stars and we will get rid of the chat.stackexchange.com's!

Bah, Guess it is definitely 2.

I hadn't noticed that before, specifically

Yeah, mine shows 10.

If it's maximized.

I see 6 on this computer

Adjusting my window size changes the number, that's cool

There, no more odd chat quotes :D

4:49 PM

@James That looks terrible.

For me at the least.

@Sterno Agreed.

@Wipqozn Some times its all about the taste... Toast and bacon? Yes Please! :)

@Wipqozn yeah, what's wrong with that bacon?

That bacon looks like gross bacon

@Sconibulus It's bacon. That's the problem. Bacon is nasty.

4:50 PM

overcooked or possibly Fakon

Bacon is only good in very small amounts on a sandwich in order to add some crunchiness to that sandwich.

I like Bacon, my Bacon doesn't look like that.
