@Wipqozn ಠ_ರೃ Quite so, astute observation, Sir Tortise.

That reminds me. Does anyone know if Strix is alive?

OrigamiRobot

@Krazer turtle*

fbueckert

@Wipqozn He just posted a couple hours ago that he was OK.

It's in the starred list.

OrigamiRobot

3 hours ago, by Invader Skoodge

I am alive. No power, which means no heat. All the traffic lights nearby are out, and no gas stations or food stores are open. Trees uprooted and strewn about everywhere, especially on power lines. It's pretty bad.

Krazer

@OrigamiRobot He doesn't seem to be a water-type.

badp

7:05 PM

@OrigamiRobot wait he and strix are the same person?

I think I'm the one who needs a reboot now

fbueckert

@badp ...Indeed.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot Good to know he is alive and relatively well

fbueckert

Who did you think Invader was?

badp

@fbueckert uh, somebody else.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Thank you Mister Robot.

@fbueckert That's just the stuff I can see from the last 30 days

@Wipqozn I don't know. yo mamma because when she lands on you and crushes you it is 1000000000000 dps and you have a pinner is pretty solid.

badp

@Wipqozn I decided those posts don't deserve signatures

user15026

@Wipqozn We shall never know.

Wipqozn

@fbueckert Why?

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn Something to do with CandleJack

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot Oh, why did you have to say that na

fbueckert

@Wipqozn Because it's not anything to do with a problem with a game you're having.

It provides absolutely no value whatsoever.

OrigamiRobot

7:18 PM

DID EVERYONE GET MY JOKE?

GnomeSlice

Aaaaaaaaan downvotes, probably because people couldn't be bothered to watch past the intro.

badp

@OrigamiRobot No, but you're about to get a visit

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Couldn't you have just removed the intro?

fbueckert

Free flags!

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn Not easily, it's synced to the music. There's a key press to skip it.

I guess nobody even watched that far.

Because it says 'press s to skip' after like 3 seconds.

Wipqozn

7:20 PM

@GnomeSlice How do you know people didn't downvoet it for other reasons though?

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn No comments.

Wipqozn

Like the fact that it's unfinished.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn So?

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice ...Unfinished video seems like a pretty good reason to downvote content.

GnomeSlice

Oh, maybe they just all start at 3.

@fbueckert Not really, it's clearly labelled as a work in progress.

badp

7:21 PM

@fbueckert Time's up!

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice You're assuming people read the description, and if they did, care that it's a WIP.

badp

@GnomeSlice protip, you can vote without logging in but you can't comment

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn Previews and clips get upvoted all the time, that's nothing new. I think maybe videos default to a score of 3/5, since most of the new ones are around there.

@badp Pretty sure most of the people who browse Newgrounds are regular users.

OrigamiRobot

Newgrounds is still a place people go?

user15026

@OrigamiRobot That was my reaction too

badp

oh dear Origami's language routines are deteriorating too

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice 50% of the things you say are you giving up.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot Truth.

Krazer

7:28 PM

Stop doing that.

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot I was really proud of that, but it took me a long time. And I haven't used flash in a while.

I've been thinking about finishing it, but I'll have lost the style.

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn too*

user15026

@Wipqozn Damn it.

Krazer

@GnomeSlice Why not use Premiere or AfterFX?

badp

honestly kinetic typography is kind of overrated

GnomeSlice

7:30 PM

@Krazer I'm still more comfortable with flash animation, I think. I just mean anything I add now won't look quite the same.

@badp Yeah, well, it was an assignment.

I love typography.

badp

I like it too but letters only get you so far.

GnomeSlice

@badp ..........

badp

You see four or five kinetic typography videos and you've seen them all.

GnomeSlice

@badp You play four or five TF2 games and you've played them all...

badp

@GnomeSlice I guess the fun then is in making them? I can respect that.

Making and viewing are different things.

stupid merchants

GnomeSlice

@badp It is cool to make them, actually. You're right though, lots of them are the same, but the really great ones are always unique.

user15026

@badp This. I like them. I do. But they are really all the same in terms of how they treat the type and how they present the words

user15026

There are very few that stand out

GnomeSlice

SaintWacko

There was one little bit of underwater slope connecting the shore to my bridge

so the merchant and horse decide to go that way and get sucked into the intake

GnomeSlice

7:33 PM

Gah, where's that beatles interview one...

SaintWacko

aaand all the rest of the merchants leave

badp

@GnomeSlice yeah, but see, there are a ton of typos there. That's why watching the letters actually ads to the video.

People don't watch the video for the moving letters, they watch it for the moving letters that are all wrong

GnomeSlice

@badp Right.

user15026

@GnomeSlice I don't like that one.

badp

All things considered, you concerns were not unfounded. Memory is the first thing to go.

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Especially for machines; they keep losing critical data when they're not fed with power!

Krazer

@fbueckert That depends on how they write things to memory~

Q: Will all cages in a jail be used?

I currently have a jail with individual "rooms" (no doors leading out, more like individual alcoves) containing cages and chains. I made a room with one of the cages, indicating the whole area as being a jail (and used for justice). Will all the other cages in that designed room be used as jail...

Try to catch him.

Kawaii (かわいい , Means, "lovable", "cute", or "adorable") is the quality of cuteness in the context of Japanese culture. It has become a prominent aspect of Japanese popular culture, entertainment, clothing, food, toys, personal appearance, behavior, and mannerisms. The noun is (literally, "lovability", "cuteness" or "adorableness"). The words "kawaii" have the root word "kawai" which is formed from the kanji "ka" (可), meaning "acceptable", and "ai" (愛), meaning "love". The term kawaii has taken on the secondary meanings of "cool", and "non-threatening". Aesthetics Sōichi Masubuchi i...

Moe (slang)

is a Japanese slang word. Moe is not a concrete term. It is constantly evolving and being used in many different ways. Moe is a feeling or characteristic. The term "moe" can be tacked on to the end of any personality trait or physical trait to create a new type of moe. According to Patrick W. Galbraith it means "a rarefied pseudo-love for certain fictional characters (in anime, manga, and the like) and their related embodiments." notes that it is a pun derived from a Japanese word that literally means "budding," as with a plant that is about to flower, and thus it can also be used to mea...

@MarkTrapp That second question is stupid.

"the actor is gay. Is the character gay too?"

The first is stupid too.

"This guy doesn't want o have sex with this girl. Is he gay?"

So I guess I'm gay then, since I don't want to have sex with every girl I know.

The vast majority of the unanswered questions on SciFi are story identification.

@MarkTrapp Why is he so angry. All you did was provide some statistics.

Comparing answer rates with works of similar popularity. This might be difficult, since you'd have to aggregate low-count tags with a lot of cluster effects. Another statistic that I'd like to know is what retention rate we have: if a new user asks a story id question and receives an answer, what's the probability that they stay around? How does this compare with the site average, and with the site average excluding popular works? — Gilles Jun 24 at 22:41

That's my least favourite argument.
