@fbueckert Web 5.1, beta
 
How do you star from mobile?
I'm drunk and need to star
 
@GrayStoat You don't
 
12:04 AM
Starring complete!
 
brb, posting drunkenly in meta.SO
 
drunken meta is best meta

It's like being @GnomeSlice, wooooooo!
@fbueckert you are a star
giggles
 
@GrayStoat Damn, man, you ARE drunk.
 
@GrayStoat Haha, Man he takes a lot of abuse... but he also does invite a certain amount of it I suppose :/
 
12:07 AM
DaESKTOP MODE ACTIVQTE
STAR CANNON ARMED AND READY
 
12:20 AM
oh man @GrayStoat you summoned him
 
user2334
Our cruisers cannot repel firepower of that magnitude
 
@GrayStoat ಠ_ಠ
For starters, I don't drink.
@RavenDreamer Ticcing does.
i.e. uncontrollable movements.
 
user2334
They need a flag for abusing flags
 
@MarkTrapp What was flagged?
I still can't see them. =[
 
user2334
You know what was flagged
 
12:23 AM
@MarkTrapp I have no idea what was flagged, I don't even know what you guys are talking about...
 
user2334
I don't know why you play dumb, you're the only one who flags negative chat messages directed towards you
 
@MarkTrapp I appreciate the sentiment, but no.
:/
New IndieRoyale Bundle full of awesomeness.
You guys should get it at least for Pineapple Smash Crew.
Basketbelle looks pretty neat too.
But I'm broke. =[
How come the Humble Bundle gets pinned and Indie Royale doesn't?
Answer: I posted it.
 
user2334
OH GOD IT'S NOT PINNED IMMEDIATELY EVEN THOUGH NOBODY'S AROUND TO PIN IT AND NOBODY REQUESTED A PIN MUST BE BECAUSE THEY HATE US BOTH
 
Ive honestly been nothing but disappointed with the lack of variety of those bundles.. you can buy the same game for whatever you want for like 2 years.
 
12:30 AM
@MarkTrapp This is like the fourth time I've posted it today.
@James Most of them aren't as cheap as the bundle individually.
 
@GnomeSlice Yeah but I dont need Another copy of the same 5 games just to get a 6th one.
 
@James Oh you already own all of the other ones?
Still, it's cheaper than buying that one game by itself if it's one you want. If it isn't, don't bother.
Pineapple Smash Crew is amazing, though.
 
@GnomeSlice Nope, dont own any, but the repetition is why I wont star or care to pin them.
I simply have lost my interest in them :)
 
@James You should look at PSC at least.
 
1:08 AM
I'm still terrible at DOTA 2 it seems.
At least I was half-decent at LoL.

Q: How do I fight flying, fire-breathing Titans?

ParalyticSo I was just preparing my fortress for the inevitable siege, but ended up being visited by a Fire-breathing, Flying Titan Slug. I had a slight idea what I was in for, but I definitely didn't expect to lose 81 Dwarves out of the 92 I had. I had prepared as many Dwarves as I could that had some fi...

 
2:18 AM
Another fun night at home.
 
2:54 AM
Slow night on the Bridge
 
So, who wants a copy of Machinarium, Splice, or Superbrothers?
 
@Fluttershy I don't have Splice
 
@fbueckert Now ya do.
 
3:10 AM
@Fluttershy can I have machinarium?
 
@murgatroid99 Done and done.
 
@Fluttershy thanks
 
WHY THE HELL ARE THERE 10 UPVOTES ON THAT DARTH VADER QUESTION!?
O_o Cheesus...
 
I uninstalled Flash today.
Felt good, man.
 
@RavenDreamer Can you sticky something for me?
 
3:24 AM
Quite possibly.
 
I have a copy of Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP to give away. Ping me if you want it!
2
 
(trying not to smirk at that)
 
@RavenDreamer Oh my... <_<
 
My first response was going to be "Shouldn't you buy me dinner, first"?, but I decided to take the high road, and talk about saying it, instead of saying it.
 
@FAE Can I have an Airmech? =3
 
FAE
3:26 AM
@Fluttershy Yes, you unnecessary pinger, you.
 
@FAE Hey, just because I'm talking to you doesn't mean I can't ping you. Especially when your instructions specifically say "Ping me if you want it!"
 
You say that like we've not talked from three separate locations simultaneously before.
 
@RavenDreamer Me or her? >_>
 
Yes. The both of you. And also Spugsley & co. also
Vent / Bridge / Steam is pretty common trifecta for me, I think.
And if I wanted to install skype on my PC, we could probably get up to that foursome, if you were into it.
@Fluttershy I would so message you in LoL right now if youw ere online.
 
@RavenDreamer I'd have to pay for Skype premium to do group calls... I don't wanna pay for a foursome.
 
3:29 AM
Should have split that sentence into two chat messages.
You'll *never8 be misconstrued at this rate.
 
Dang.
 
FAE
@Raven Can you remove the Airmech thing from my message? Apparently it's publicly available now so my gifts are moot.
 
@RavenDreamer Playing as Ahri, I see. =3
 
@FAE Oh, is it out of Beta now?
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice Apparently. Tried to gift it to @Fluttershy but it said he already had it.
 
3:34 AM
The new Indie Royale Bundle features the Avernum trilogy and Pineapple Smash Crew.
You guys should get it.

Q: Problems with Java when installing minecraft

AlwaysdeadfredI'm trying to install minecraft on a new computer, but whenever I try to run minecraft.exe I get a message that says "The registry refers to a nonexistent Java Runtime Environment installation or the runtime is corrupted. The system cannot find the path specified." I tried re-installing Java, aut...

 
FAE
I've heard good things about PSC.
 
@GnomeSlice It's not the Avernum trilogy. <_< It's 4, 5, and 6... Unless they're like Star Wars.
 
FAE
not sure I want to buy another bundle right now though
 
@Fluttershy What can I say? I have a thing for Azns.
 
3:34 AM
@Fluttershy Bah, whatever.
I'm waiting for it to get starred.
 
FAE
@RavenDreamer ..........>_>
 
@RavenDreamer Ahri's one of my favorites.
 
Because Pineapple Smash Crew is awesome.
 
@FAE =D
 
@FAE What? Can I not use that abbreviation?
 
FAE
3:39 AM
@RavenDreamer I have complicated feelings on it.
 
Ah.
@FAE What do think of
 
FAE
@RavenDreamer I'm gonna assume you hit enter too soon
 
Dye job is off, but otherwise
 
FAE
@RavenDreamer I would've pictured redder hair actually
 
Yeah, she's actually got brown, though.
The preview window makes it look a little darker than it actually is
 
FAE
3:47 AM
@RavenDreamer Face looks a little young but that's a problem with the options you have, mainly.
 
Aye.
I want a dozen dozen faces to pick from!
 
FAE
I knooooooooow.
You can do a decent bit with sliders, but not enough really.
Looks good though.
 
And if you'll excuse me, you just reminded me that I need to cry over the degradation of the sims franchise
WHY, EA? Why!? You took Maxis from us too soon!
 
FAE
@RavenDreamer Mmmm, your tears are delicious.
 
@FAE Yeah, that's the thing that really bugs me. Half of the shapes are specific to the face. Like, you can tweak what features show up, but you can't pick which features in the first place.
 
FAE
3:49 AM
@RavenDreamer I wish we had more base faces that looked older than like, teenagers.
 
There's the one old lady face.
Norn have good faces, actually
but poor hair choices, so I went with max height human instead of max short norn
 
FAE
I haven't rolled Norn since BWE1.
 
The taller the norn, the lower they can jump
Also, there are no heavy helms that look like that. >.<
 
FAE
It's always challenging to try to remake a character.
 
RRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRRRR
 
FAE
3:59 AM
I made a CoH character based on a Magic the Gathering character and I had a hell of a time with her costume, even with the vast choices CoH had.
 
@OrigamiRobot that means "I love you" in Dinosaur.
 
@FAE Liliana?
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot Nay, this was a while ago. Razia.
Liliana would be even tougher to remake I think.
No full dresses really.
I ended up with some costume pieces where I was able to remake Razia pretty well though.
 
@FAE I would've tried for Chandra. >_>
 
FAE
Anywho, sleeptimes, g'night all.
 
4:02 AM
:(
 
@OrigamiRobot Why would you change your gravatar to our failure of a Minecraft Pixel art!?
 
@Fluttershy SHUT UP I WILL EAT YOU
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot There's an interesting pre-bedtime image.
 
@FAE I WILL EAT YOU ALL

Q: What is the max level a dwarf can be?

Gareth JonesIs there a max level that a dwarf can get to? Was playing a level (cant remember its name, was the one with the green mage) and saw the mage was like 86 (or there about), which got me wondering, can I can a dwarf to that level as well, or is it capped somewhere?

Q: What do these Mugen round-win icons mean?

hkBattousai I know that V is just for "Victory", appears if you finish your opponent with a basic attack. S is for a "Super" move, and H is for "Hyper". But what do these icons (encircled in red) indicate? (Mugen version: 1.0 (18 Jan 2011))

 
hey does anyone know if Q.U.B.E is any good?
 
@GarethJones Loved it.
It's pretty Portal-inspired but with a completely different mechanic.
 
@ArdaXi Ok, thinking of getting it... just wish it was 5 dollers cheaper
might try and find a steam coupon or something

Q: A Close Vote is not a Super-Downvote. Please don't use it as one

LessPop_MoreFizzSo, yesterday a dumb question was asked.. It was closed as Not Constructive in less than an hour, and reopened mere minutes later. This isn't the first time that this has happened. It usually results in lots of arguing and acrimony and generally all comes out of a simple misunderstanding. There ...

 
WATCH FOR THAT JUNCTION
 
user2334
If you're about to vote to close a question as "not constructive" and can picture a 20 minute argument in the Bridge over whether the question should be closed at all, you're about to make the wrong choice

Welcome to the modern era
my new internet connection is so much faster than my old one
 
@MarkTrapp p. much. Downvotes are awesome.
I think my favorite part of downvotes is that they seem to make people much angrier than just normal close votes.
What's your favorite part of downvotes?
 
1:05 PM
The comments people leave about "Why the downvote?" which can be flagged as noise?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Closed as not constructive
 
user2334
@LessPop_MoreFizz My favorite part is when I see a question that I don't like and potentially has some reason to close, but I can't be assed to really spend time to pick one and defend or elucidate it if need be, so I just anonymously downvote and be on my way
 
math, science, history... unravelling the mystery that all started with a big bang
 
@MarkTrapp Ooh, yeah, that part is pretty great.
 
1:08 PM
Also, the fact that the best downvotes - the ones on questions - are free.
 
user2334
I like that downvotes only take one click and don't require thousands of rep to use
 
I like that downvotes incite paranoia in the victim, and that multiple downvotes cause fear or anger, it's like guaranteed drama
 
My favorite part about downvotes is how on questions that aren't obviously closable, they just incite pity upvotes.
 
user2334
@pixel But what really seals the deal is that as long as you do not engage, it becomes the gift that keeps on giving
 
user2334
Is it a conspiracy? Is someone serial downvoting? How many SEDE queries can I do to prove it?
 
1:12 PM
I like that downvotes cost the asker reputation, making manifest in the system the distrust the user so richly deserves.
I also like that downvotes are pretty easy to 'take-back' if you make a mistake or if the question is improved. No-muss, no-fuss.
I like that when questions get enough downvotes, they just kind of... 'poof' disappear off the front page, to the strange netherworld of the All Questions list, from which they'll never be seen again.

Polyamory

Proposed Q&A site for those who love more than one

Currently in definition.

2
Who to call when…

Proposed Q&A site for when calling a large company that forwards you 20 times before answering, when trying to answer a specific question. People who have had the same problems solved could post numbers and option sequences to this site for solving various problems.

Currently in definition.

 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't even know how this could possibly be considered a good topic for a Q&A site.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz "More than one" ... what? Species?
 
@YiJiang LOL
> Also, the original title for today's strip was "The Cat in the Twat," but ... well, yeah.
 
@MartinSojka Person generally, as Polyamory is defined.
I'm sure @FAE will be happy to fill you in if you bug her about it later. I'm off to work.
 
1:29 PM
Later
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh, that's fine. I love my mommy and my pa.
 
@MartinSojka I think we all love your mommy!
 
@MartinSojka I think this is more along the lines of romantic love, like 'multiple wives' sort of thing (although that's polygamy).
 
@GnomeSlice wouldnt it only be polygamy if you are officialy married where the sugestion is about loving multiple partners (close but not exactly the same)
 
@Blem Yeah, polygamy is about multiple marriages but I'm not sure he was getting polyamory, which is about romantic love, as opposed to family love or what-have-you.
 
1:33 PM
same same but a bit different! :)
 
Yeah, reading up a bit on it, I think the difference is between the personal (polyamory) and official (polygamy).
 
@MartinSojka A polygamist has multiple spouses. Someone who is polyamorous has multiple lovers.
 
Also, pretty much a non-issue unless you live in some oppressive religious-nuts-controlled country. After all, if consent of everyone involved is required, there are no problems which normal lovers wouldn't face as well.
 
...I think.
 
@Martin hahahaha. No problems monogamous couples wouldn't face. Hahahahaha
Trust me, poly relationships are a massive can of worms with plenty of 'unique' issues. Worth it to some, but still.
 
1:39 PM
ugh, my printer keeps freakin' bluescreening. going to have to buy a new printer or something :/
 
user2334
If you ignore the whole "sleeping with multiple dudes or dude-ettes" thing, it's totally the same as monogamy
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Funny, I can't think of one.
 
"Fires as fast as you can pull the trigger"
"Magazine size: 2"
 
user2334
@MartinSojka Take the world's countries sorted by how much of its population considers religion to be unimportant. Now compare it to the list of countries where polygamy is illegal. You'll find that the pretty much every country at the top of the former is also on the latter
 
user2334
In reality, it's just the reverse of what you think: the more religious the country, the more accepting of polygamy they are
 
1:43 PM
@MarkTrapp 1. I already excluded "oppressive religious-nuts-controlled countries", and 2. We're talking about polyamory, not polygamy.
 
@MarkTrapp That really surprises me
 
The correlation is not that obvious
At any rate I like how the footnote 1 for blue, "Polygamous marriages allowed under the law", says "Illegal in all forms; exempt Muslims in the countries of India, Singapore, and Sri Lanka"
 
user2334
@SaintWacko Don't tell anyone, but all the Abrahamic religions started off with polygyny
 
user2334
Islam in many countries still allows it
 
1:45 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Answer to all questions is Ghostbusters
 
oh wait, I guess it should read: "In the countries of India, Singapore, and Sri Lanka: illegal in all forms; exempt Muslims."
THAT IS NOT HOW SEMICOLONS WORK, WIKIPEDIA
 
user2334
Yeah; that
 
@MarkTrapp Yes, but they decided they didn't like that and retconned it out of their religions :P
 
@OrigamiRobot Heh, I didn't say it, but thought the same thing.
 
@MarkTrapp One of the sources of success for the Christian religion in Ancient Rome was that their marriages were 1. monogamous and 2. for life, as opposed to "dissolved as soon as the husband feels like it." The Roman ladies loved that idea.
 
1:47 PM
I thought it was about Ghostbusters at first.
 
So, good marketing move.
 
user2334
If you say so.
 
user2334
Nevertheless, if you're into the whole multiple partners thing and want to make it official, you're actually better off moving to a place located in "oppressive religious-nuts-controlled countries"
 
Get back to work @JoshGitlin ;)
 
@MartinSojka Involving multiple people introduces all kinds of 'special' variants on the sort of trust issues, time management details, and other things that you're not used to seeing. You assume that just because it's a consenting relationship that people don't get jealous. That's a Very Very Big Mistake.
 
1:50 PM
@TimStone Don't look at me! I blame the "Rejoin Favorite Rooms" button!
 
A likely story!
 
I am working!... on mod issues... >_>
 
user2334
Everything I know about poly-*-y comes from Big Love and that family was cray-cray with demands and schedules and such
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz ... while relationships between two people don't have problems with jealousy at all. Right.
 
There, attempted to translate that awful image description to English
 
1:52 PM
@MartinSojka I didn't say they don't. I said that the variants that a polyamorous cohort will encounter are different and special in a variety of ways.
@MartinSojka Regardless, it'd make a terrible Q&A site for all kinds of reasons, but 'there aren't special or unique problems being faced in this sort of relationship' isn't one of them.
 
Yeah, sounds more like a tag of something broader
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Sorry, I don't see it. Same for time management - if you ever lived in a flat-sharing community, you'll know these can appear aside from any romantic relationships too, and have the same methods to solve them.
 
Area 51 + 1 really does need a "Really should be a tag of a broader site" close reason
It appears here that @LessPop_MoreFizz has more experience here than he's willing to share with us, but that might just be me :P
 
user2334
@badp The exact duplicate close reason is worded there differently for that reason: "This proposal would tend to drain audience from an existing Stack Exchange site."
 
(That is not a backwards psychology attempt to extract said experience. I am perfectly okay to accept that something more complicated has more issues than the base case.)
