@LessPop_MoreFizz eheh

@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm too soft-hearted to even think something about that

isn't the fact I want to question it the reason why it can be considered art?

@LessPop_MoreFizz Damn it! The exhibit closed yesterday! I could've gone to see it.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@FAE You bring shame to your people

@LessPop_MoreFizz I didn't knooooow sob

@LessPop_MoreFizz This is art. You will hear a buzzer. When you hear the buzzer, stare at the art.

Q: How to beat Hex-Defense lvl 32 Border Patrol on hard?

I've almost finished the latest update for Hex Defense (which adds all levels upto 35). I beat all levels on Normal and all but one on hard, so I know the basics well. With beating I mean advancing in the levels waves far enough to get it to say 'next level' instead of 'retry level', this is some...

Q: How to get the "Better Off Dead" achievement in Plants vs. Zombies

The "Better Off Dead" achievement can be completed if you get a streak of 10 in "I, Zombie Endless". I understand that much. This mode is really hard and I cannot get my streak near 10 games in a row, although I cannot put my finger on my main mistakes. I am happy if I can win 7 in a row. Are th...

@LessPop_MoreFizz I refuse to click that. It's too early on a Monday morning for impotent rage.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Sterno It's... a song.

By Talking Heads.

A famous and popular Rock and Roll Band from the 1970's and 1980's.

I raise you one Wal-Mart rap video (NSFW)

art!

jokerdino

Oooh, so those green stuff are actually links..

agent86

blargh, back at work and tired. someone loan me a nap :/

FAE

@agent86 You can have some of my energy!

jokerdino

I'll sleep for you if that's what you are talking about.

OK, that's not what I am talking about.

agent86

1:59 PM

@FAE I saw that you had a pretty good day yesterday, are you still pretty wired?

@jokerdino I don't think this would help, but you get an A for effort.

jokerdino

That would help. Thanks!

FAE

@agent86 Still a little, yeah. :) I am not used to feeling happy without feeling guilty. It is... refreshing.

jokerdino

Do you guys do Humble Indie bundle stuff on the site?

cba to look it up :P

Yi Jiang

@jokerdino Yeah, we've got a few questions I think

agent86

@jokerdino when it comes to things like questions about the games, yeah. if you're just asking about the bundle or its policies or so forth, that's a bit more gray.

@FAE woooooo for happy times :)

2:04 PM

@agent86 Much woo :D

agent86

I've got my fingers crossed that the D3 drawing is today and that I win something.

> But in Paris, American food is suddenly being seen as more than just restauration rapide. Among young Parisians, there is currently no greater praise for cuisine than “très Brooklyn,” a term that signifies a particularly cool combination of informality, creativity and quality.

Hehe

Excuse me while I go puke.

Q: Are alternative Minecraft servers worth it?

I have a Minecraft server running on an Amazon EC2 instance, and the instance is bogged down regularly by the server's high requirements. I recently came across a page listing alternative Minecraft servers, many of them touting the reduced overhead of their server versus the Mojang server. Howev...

agent86

@LessPop_MoreFizz when I think haute cuisine, I think Brooklyn

Wipqozn

The question is way too broad, and not constructive.

FAE

@LessPop_MoreFizz haha woooooow

LessPop_MoreFizz

@agent86 To be fair, you kind of should at the moment.

But that quote, (which is from the New York Times, who should know better), makes me fucking sick.

agent86

@Sterno sadly, not one I can wear, unless I want people throwing bibles/holy water at me, and calling me a devil worshipper.

Sterno

2:08 PM

@agent86 Who doesn't want that?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@agent86 I fail to see the problem.

agent86

@LessPop_MoreFizz bibles hurt

Wipqozn

In fact, the answers now are just people giving their opinion on their favourite server...

LessPop_MoreFizz

@agent86 They only hurt if you haven't accepted the light of Jesus into your soul, clearly.

What I'm trying to say here is, maybe they're right.

@FAE nytimes.com/2012/06/04/world/europe/…

FAE

@LessPop_MoreFizz Huh, interesting

danRhul

2:13 PM

@agent86 I'd like to make up for my past doings and was wondering if it is OK within gaming.stackoverflow to award all of my rep via bounty to Sorean?

Manishearth

@danRhul That can be considered abuse

agent86

@danRhul you may award bounties as you feel is appropriate

LessPop_MoreFizz

@danRhul It's your rep to bounty to whoever you want, but I'd guess that while that's perfectly okay, asking the same question 3 times is a bit less okay. :P

Manishearth

@agent86 Doesn't it count as vote fraud?

agent86

yeah, once is enough, sorry, am at work, but I get ping'ed and therefore I can always find messages, even after they scroll off.

danRhul

2:15 PM

@LessPopMoreFizz I thought it was sending but then it kept saying that the message was timing out.

Apologies

agent86

@Manishearth bounties? no, I don't believe so. If there's some relevant meta about it, I've never seen it.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@danRhul Yeah, I figured as much. :P

agent86

@danRhul oh, that happens to me pretty frequently. I find usually clicking "cancel" means it got sent, and there's some error getting the status acknowledgement back.

Manishearth

@agent86 /admin/accepted-bounties is there for a reason, right?

danRhul

I see. Fair enough. I've not really used chat much before!!

Does anyone have a link to THAT question?

agent86

2:17 PM

@Manishearth I think if the intent was to boost a sock's rep via bounty, that'd be wrong, but otherwise if someone says "I think this answer is exemplary and deserves reward" I don't know that we can really argue.

@danRhul don't feel like you have to, though. If you just want to put it in the past and move on, that's fine.

danRhul

@agent86 I don't feel as if though I have to. I would just like to start afresh from being a trolldick before

Manishearth

@agent86 Hmm, yeah. Though targeting a user for the intent of "transferring rep" feels like vote fraud to me. Remember, we're about posts, not users. Anyway, MSO post upcoming

danRhul

@Manishearth Awkward if I get banned for that. That'll be a year

agent86

I guess we can consult the community hive mind before proceeding, so as to make sure everything's on the level.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Manishearth In this case, it's a matter of making amends. @danRhul is trying to balance his karma, both literally and figuratively over a situation towards the user in question.

Manishearth

2:20 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yep

LessPop_MoreFizz

So, I don't think it's quite the same as 'transferring rep' where I'd consider it suspicious

Manishearth

To a single user?

agent86

there's never an easy answer around here :P

Manishearth

@jadarnel come to whine, I see :)

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Manishearth Yeah, but it's a single 500 rep bounty.

Manishearth

2:21 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz Single bounty is OK

Oh, just 200 rep

LessPop_MoreFizz

@danRhul I wouldn't bother trying to find another post to toss off the other 117 rep.

jadarnel27

@Manishearth Ha =)

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Manishearth Well, was 700

danRhul

@LessPopMoreFizz Yeah I thought I could do maybe 700 but max was 500 and that'll be all.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@danRhul Yeah, and 500 is perfectly fine tbqh. I wouldn't sweat the last 200 rep

Manishearth

2:23 PM

IMO that's OK. I though he was burning the 1.9k rep (chat rep)

agent86

okay, so the consensus is we're okay with this? :P

Manishearth

Yep

danRhul

Anyway, I have a Jubilee party to attend so thanks guys, and sorry about everything before. I'll award the bounty in 24 hours.

Yi Jiang

I wonder if anybody wants to play DEFCON multiplayer

agent86

@danRhul okay, np, take it easy, and we'll see you later on.

Manishearth

2:24 PM

Though for future reference I'll ask MSO about larger rep transfers

LessPop_MoreFizz

@YiJiang As a general statement, yes, yes I do.

But not right now sadly.

Yi Jiang

Would be fun to play it some time.

LessPop_MoreFizz

It's an awesome game for multiplayer

so much paranoias

Kappei

@YiJiang I played it just once, last Xmas

for the Steam achievement

I don't like that game that much

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Kappei If you haven't played it multiplayer, you haven't played it.

Just remember, the goal isn't to win, it's to lose the least.

Q: Is mass bountying considered vote fraud?

In this chat discussion, a user wanted to "make up for past doings" by handing out bounties to a certain user. I'd like to make up for my past doings and was wondering if it is OK within gaming.stackoverflow to award all of my rep via bounty to Sorean? In this case, the rep in question was ...

jokerdino

@YiJiang @agent86 thanks. i was just curious because we do get questions about HIB's technical issues in Ask Ubuntu

LessPop_MoreFizz

@jokerdino In general, we don't do well with tech support questions. It's not really our wheelhouse. We take them, but they don't get great results unless it's a common, easily reproduced error or issue.

Yi Jiang

@jokerdino Yeah, I saw a few of those

You know, HiB generally has pretty good support I heard

badp

@danRhul Welcome back, @danRhul; don't feel obliged to do anything at all.

Yi Jiang

2:35 PM

I would suggest approaching them using the live chat thing first

jokerdino

@LessPopMoreFizz @YiJiang most of the community members have figured out a way to solve those questions. they seem to have high view counts.

danRhul

@badp As said before, I don't feel obliged

jokerdino

i am blabbering.. feel free to ignore

badp

@danRhul well, perhaps 'obliged' is the wrong word; "we wouldn't think any less of you if you didn't do it" is more like it

jokerdino

i am now taking a leave. nice chatting with you all

danRhul

2:38 PM

It's not really about that. I would rather do it is all.

I know, I served my ban, that is all that is required of me

agent86

@jokerdino yeah, ugh. I have to echo what LP said, if someone asked a "how do I make this work on ubuntu" question here, we'd probably allow it and then scratch our heads and shrug.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Huh. Self answer does not count for Guru badge. I mean, I understand why, but surprising that they found that one.

jokerdino

@agent86 I thought LP was launchpad :P anyway, just send them over to AU if you are cool about it.
