@LessPop_MoreFizz Your comment about the shift key almost made my day.
 
@Mana It was a pretty pro much commment.
 
@Tristan You were?
 
@John Huh?
 
@Tristan Exactly.
 
@John It's like you took a break from hanging out with actually people to comment on my spelling error...
 
2:16 AM
@Tristan You comment on my spelling error, I comment on your spelling error.
Also, "commment"
I distracted you from that one until it was too late! Ha!
 
@John Well played.
 
@Tristan Thank you.
 
On an unrelated note, I don't think I want to ever play against @RavenDreamer in LoL...
 
I'm thinking I'll make my gravatar a little green Terraria character.
@Tristan Why not?
 
@John 556 wins. Against real people.
 
2:18 AM
@Tristan That's a little impressive.
How much convincing do you think it would take to get everyone to migrate to a LoL clone that has Linux support?
 
@John Those exist?
 
While searching for help running LoL on Linux, I found one.
 
?
 
@John You could mention it in Summoner's Rift. But I don't really know, as we've all spent a decent chunk of money unlocking stuff in LoL... =\
 
2:21 AM
@Tristan Real money?
 
@John Real money.
 
@Tristan :(
 
@NickT I realized the answer to your LoL question.

Herpaderp 200/750 words....no more ideas...time for posterior extraction.

I dislike writing technical documents.
 
2:32 AM
@AshleyNunn As in... "pull stuff outta your @#$"?
Or am I misinterpreting "posterior extraction"?
 
user15026
@RavenDreamer Precisely that.
 
I'm amazed that there's a polite way to say that.
 
@Mana I can massage words any way you want, hoss.
 
user15026
@Mana I love that there is. It makes me feel like less of a herpaderp.
 
@RavenDreamer Massage this into a sandwich.

There's also psychological induction, though it's not as interesting. Handy for mathematical proofs, though: "by psychological induction, this is true. otherwise you wouldn't have asked me to prove it on a final."
For some strange reason you don't get a lot of marks if you try to apply it.
 
You tried.

Q: Please let me search chat messages for messages that consist solely of punctuation

JohnIt's become something of a meme for me to express my sadness in chat with messages that consist solely of ":(". How much of meme? I don't know, because it won't let me search messages for ":(".

What is that, I don't even.
 
I don't think "Hold it!" is an expression particularly appropriate when one is already in the bathroom.

Just sayin'.
I could get behind "Take that!", though. As it were.
 
@AnnaLear I lol'ed.

@John Oh, thank you for editing. I twitched. XD
 
I was gonna mock you.
but yes
 
@AshleyNunn Me too when I realized that. xD
@Ullallulloo Mock...what?
 
@John I was gonna say that I am generally happy, and that my avatar was a paperclip.
 
My typo?
 
yes
 
2:47 AM
Gotcha.
I linked close to your picture, so people could see the context.
As it is, the pointing I'm making is me saying :( and that post, while funny and relevant if you know what it's talking about, isn't me saying :(. And I'm assuming the majority of my audience won't know what it's talking about.
 
@Mana Only almost, eh? I see how it is.

Q: Is there any way to transfer treasure to other characters?

Doozer BlakeIs there any way to transfer coins/treasure between different Skylander characters in game? I find that I'm playing with one over the others more, but would like to share the wealth with the others so they can purchase upgrades as well.

 
@Tristan That's from '09. Wine has gone through 5 versions since then, Ubuntu through 6, and there's no telling how many LoL patches. Thanks though.
 
@John Like I said. "Could possibly be garbage."
 
@Tristan Yeah...

TIL:
Bald–hairy () is a common joke in Russian political discourse, referring to the empirical rule of the state leaders' succession defined as a change of a bald leader with a hairy one and vice versa. This consistent pattern can be traced back until as early as 1825, when Nicholas I succeeded his late brother Alexander as the Russian Emperor. Nicholas I's son Alexander II formed the first "bald–hairy" pair of the sequence with his father. The current "bald–hairy" pair of Russian rulers are Prime Minister (former President) Vladimir Putin and incumbent President Dmitry Medvedev. Pattern The...

Q: How do I perform a guard impact?

Ian PugsleyIn the previous Soulcalibur games, guard impacting was performed by pressing ▷G (forward and guard; 6G, in fighting game direction terminology). In Soulcalibur V, this was removed. Guard impact still exist, but it use the soul gauge, and apparently requires a different combination (likely involv...

Q: How can I improve my ability to just guard?

Ian PugsleyWith the removal of convenient Guard Impacts, Soulcalibur V adds a new guard ability - just guard. This allows you to tap (not hold) guard at the precise moment of impact (very few frames), and your character will flash blue and purple, you'll be notified of your just guard, and you'll effectivel...

 
also because googling yields nothing but reviews right now
also @FallenAngelEyes, they made some pretty hilarious changes
 
@IanPugsley Oh? Like what?
 
Ivy's primary outfit is the "classic" version (purple and no pants), but less revealing overall
her secondary is hilarious - what you can't see on the add is how horribly bad it is
they counter Ivy's more conservative clothing by having Tira in roughly the same tattered t-shirt outfit with possibly even less material than last time
 
2:44 PM
@IanPugsley wow, really?
 
@IanPugsley Actually, that was my reaction to your question. "What they changed Guard Impact?????"
 
@IanPugsley Is she still as... bouncy?
 
and my favorite failed attempt at desexying - after going "well at least they can't ruin Sophitia any more, she's not even in this," turns out a playable character is the manifestation of Soul Calibur in the form of Sophitia with basically just underpants on
 
@StrixVaria Yeah, it's based on filling a bar now
 
@IanPugsley LOL
 
2:46 PM
@IanPugsley dot dot dot
 
@FallenAngelEyes yeah, tremendous fail
 
@FallenAngelEyes A review by axman13?
 
@IanPugsley How's the gameplay otherwise?
 
@FallenAngelEyes the removal of guard impact is reeeally gonna take some getting used to, and probably makes Astaroth worse :(
 
@IanPugsley I didn't know the first result on Google counted as a review :P
 
2:48 PM
<3 Astaroth. Everyone says he sucks.
 
@IanPugsley Oof, yeah :/
 
Well, so much for Homestuck.
 
@GnomeSlice He's the fellow with the two swords, right?
 
they did speed things up a bit though, it does feel a bit closer to SCII
 
There's a pony pic.
 
2:49 PM
no, he's the one with the giant sword
 
@Wipqozn No, he's the fellow with the big axe. Cervantes is the one with two swords.
 
@GnomeSlice you're such a speciest
 
and the addition of just guards and brave edges/critical edges are really neat
 
@GnomeSlice oh, right
 
I've only really played Soul Caliber II, and Astaroth, Cervantes, and Xianghua were my best characters.
 
2:50 PM
Cerventes was entirely absent from the story mode (as were numerous other characters)
story mode was very disappointing
 
I don't even remember how to use any of the characters any more.
 
@FallenAngelEyes I'd star that, but I just don't want to.
 
I could probably still do Astaroth.
 
@GnomeSlice they have changed him so much since SCII
 
2:52 PM
Well, shit.
 
his counter 6K into A+G throw isn't really a thing :(
 
Then there was that 'berserker' guy who shouted 'PUSSEH' at the start of his games.
He was just a reskin of Astaroth, I think.
 
I say so much...probably half to 3/4 of his moves are the same
@GnomeSlice Rock
 
@IanPugsley He was just called 'berserker' in Soul Caliber II.
 
they made him an actual character again (similar moveset, but a bit faster and a few different moves) in SCIV
@GnomeSlice he was in Soul Edge and SCIV
 
2:53 PM
Oh hey, it's the resident lady expert, @Mana.
@IanPugsley Lol, really? He was just plain silly.
 
@GnomeSlice Resident Lady 6
 
I see what you did there.
Ladies = Evil.
 
@GnomeSlice in b4 that tired math joke
 
@GnomeSlice oh no nevermind - Berserker is a mix of Rock and Astaroth
 
@OrigamiRobot That what? Oh. That proof. I think I've seen it.
If you need a mathematical proof to figure out that women are evil you are either a) a millionaire or b) homosexual.

I thought I had the 'deleted post viewer' Chrome extension installed on this computer. I guess not.
 
@GnomeSlice that doesn't always work
and I think it only works on questions
 
@GraceNote =/ Sorry, I didn't see what was wrong. People were using it a lot in chat.
 
@Ullallulloo It's alright. As I said, I know you weren't intending anything ill with it.
 
3:23 PM
Context?
 
@GnomeSlice Same exact thing. Ullallulloo posted it while Origami revised it. That's why they're both apologizing.
 
@GnomeSlice ronnie likes to say "pro much" so @Ullallulloo posted "Being pro" on the meme list and I edited it to say "Being pro much" and now I see that @GraceNote has already answered you.
 
@GraceNote Posted what?
Oh.
That's... an issue?
I don't even know what that means.
 
It's troll feeding
 
Aren't half of the memes?
 
3:27 PM
@GnomeSlice This one was glorifying malicious trolling. The others are friendly jokes.
 
I guess I don't understand what 'pro much' means then.
:S
Don't try to explain this any further to me. :P
 
@GnomeSlice Someone who nominated themselves for Mod claims they are very pro much, and can teach us all to be pro much.
Is the gist of it.
 
Oh.
 
Right.

@JuanManuel Oh snap, Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2!
 
@Tristan GamersGate is showing a 300 coin bonus for 'customer affiliate' now, so it looks like it worked. Did it work for you?
 
@GnomeSlice Oh, yep. 150 extra coins.
 
@JuanManuel Wah, I feel sorry for the Wii people.
 
3:42 PM
@Tristan Odd... Mine was 300.
 
@GnomeSlice It might be because I added your tag and refreshed twice because I didn't notice any change to the page... >.>
 
@Tristan No, it doesn't stack, or people would abuse it.
 
@JuanManuel I think Diablo 3 is coming to consoles, in contrast to this chart.
 
@GnomeSlice Hmm... Good point. We both bought the same game, right?
 
Maybe higher 'level' on the site gives better rewards?
@Tristan Right. I actually bought another one as well... but didn't use your identifier because I didn't think it worked the first time. =[
 
3:44 PM
Obviously nothing big would come out for the Wii, since the WiiU is coming out late this year, and they haven't announced hardly anything for it yet.
 
also the "exclusives" game list is a little lopsided... it's counting small publisher releases on the PC, but not on say PSN or XBLA, for instance.
 
@JuanManuel bahaha Black Mesa is on the list of PC exclusives
 
@GnomeSlice It could also be because your minion gives you bonuses to Indie games, but mine doesn't.
 
@agent86 And a couple of expansions, cancelled games, and unannounced games.
 
@agent86 ok, the list sucks
 
3:46 PM
@Tristan Not sure that would apply to customer affiliate rewards. Weird.
 
Also, waiting on Meruru to come state-side
 
@JuanManuel my pedantic nitpicking aside, still a very cool chart.
 
@Ullallulloo And a whole lot of PC games I've never even heard of o_O
 
Speaking of XBLA:
 
@FallenAngelEyes Yeah, but that's all over for me. :x
 
3:47 PM
 
@GnomeSlice I'm not too worried about it. But now that we know it works after some period of delay, I'd still call it a win.

@Lazers Do we tell people how to hack things?
 
@AshleyNunn I flagged it as Off-Topic...
 
@GnomeSlice the later half of that trailer was just...what?
 
@Mana 'amazing'?

Q: What's the official stance on hacked/modded consoles?

John RudyIs it legitimate for a user to ask a question about a hacked or modded game console, provided said question is about gaming on it? For example, would/should we shut down a question about running MAME on a hacked classic XBox?

I don't know if modding a console per se is on topic though. I'd probably be strongly tempted to VTC, but it's a borderline question imho.
 
@agent86 I'd say its off-topic because I don't want this site to be the place to get that kind of information. I realize it has legitimate uses, but I dont want this site to become one of the many places to go to get your console modded, but shhh don't talk about piracy, make sure to say backup, etc.

Q: What weapon upgrades make their corresponding proving ground significantly easier?

ToastThe upgrade Tracking Critters causes each shot to automatically hit the target. I found the Fang Repeater 1st prize challenge impossible to complete without the upgrade, and extremely easy with. Are there any other weapon upgrades that make the associated challenge trivially easy, or have a s...

Q: Where the heck did my wife go?

Abby T. MillerI married Harriet the Furniture Seller in Brightwall Village. We lived there very happily until she started complaining about our house. I moved her to the nicest house in Brightwall, and still she complained. So I set her up in a nice little house in the Bowerstone Old Quarter. It even had an in...

 
I'm surprised we are still only at 10 candidates.
Well, 9 canidates. Pro ronnie doesn't really count.
Also, why is the reputation requirment so low for modship?
 
@Wipqozn Surprise! Oh, wait. We're past that joke.
 
@Wipqozn well, it's still early. there are some folks that I think are highly likely to run who haven't submitted a "nomination" yet.
 
4:44 PM
@agent86 I read "nomnomnomination"
 
@Wipqozn I feel like I read a post on meta about this, but I'm uncertain.
 
@agent86 I hope that FAE will still run
@agent86 I see. Might take a look.
 
@Wipqozn The only reason the cap is there at all is to stop people spamming with nominations, so it's low as to not limit people.
 
@Wipqozn Probably because reputation alone isn't all that strong an indicator. Many pro tem moderators have been selected in the 300-700 range. We want to stop people who just show up on the site from being able to just nominate, but we don't want to put an iron curtain or anything.
 
@Wipqozn I think there are several people who ran in previous elections that will probably run again this time. FAE, Powerlord, and bwarner all come to mind.
although now I'm putting words in their mouth :)
 
4:47 PM
@agent86 @RonanForman @GraceNote Makes sense. Isn't the reputation for SO a lot highe though? I thought it was 2k there.
Or is it just because you get reputation so much faster there that they add it to prevent someone new from qualifying from asking one question which gets a lot of attention?\
 
It's more that 2000 just isn't a barrier in the long run. The number of applicants would cause the limit to raise higher to begin with.
 
Ah I see.
That all makes sense
 
Now that we also have badge requirements on Stack Overflow as well, reputation is the least limiting factor.
 
thanks @GraceNote @RonanForman
 
No problem, you silly pony you.
 
4:49 PM
@GraceNote badge reqs seem like a better indicator than reputation
 
They are, that's why we adopted them.
 
I'm surpirsed we haven't done so here.
 
Reputation was merely a stop-gap to keep the candidate pool from exceeding 30. Internally and externally, nigh everyone acknowledges that it's a pretty crappy requirement.
 
I think having a Magic card should be a requirement.
 
@Wipqozn The number of users who met the requirements of Stack Overflow in the previous election was minimal. It'd be even tinier here.
Many of the non-Trilogy sites simply don't have the content base to produce the required set of badges.
 
4:52 PM
@GraceNote Well, not exactly the same badge reqs, but a similar idea.
in anycase, I figured that was the case, but wasn't certain.
 
sigh
 
So thanks again grace
@badp Problem?
 
@Wipqozn Still a size issue. Once sites actually reach a point where we need to filter candidates due to at least 30 applying, then we'd probably expand the sites that use badge requirements.
 
@Wipqozn Just one?
 
@badp Problems?
@GraceNote ah yes, I wasn't thinking about it from the mindset of filtering canidates.
 
4:54 PM
Java seems to have blindfolds on
 
Thanks again grace
 
The hardest I point it towards the library it needs to link to, the loudest it screams LALALALALALALA to still not find it

@OrigamiRobot :(
 
System.setProperty("java.library.path", System.getProperty("user.dir") + "\\lib-jogl-only;" + System.getProperty("java.library.path"));
 
4:56 PM
@Ullallulloo Would it not fall under mod development?
 
"no gluegen-rt in java.library.path"
Framework\Project\lib-jogl-only\gluegen-rt.jar
 
@Tristan No, that's making a mod for a game, this is about how to apply a hack to a console.
 
wiuanrwqieuorewireiwurhnoeiwurhewr
 
@badp Very elegant.
 
@Ullallulloo Well... Since he wasn't asking how to "mod" the console, but rather how to hack it, I'd say it still doesn't fit with our FAQ.
 
4:58 PM
@Ullallulloo Pester Origami enough and he'll fease up summat for you
