Niceness doesn't get through the sex robot's skull.
So let's see if blunt force trauma does.
 
Hey, I'm like the nicest guy ever...

user2334
@SexRobot sure, when you're not telling people to self-fellate
 
Judging from the stars you people think I'm full of shit.
Thanks for that.
FUCK OFF WHOEVER DID THAT
 
guys, stop getting him worked up.
it's noooooot cooooool.
 
4:01 AM
I'M A NICE GUY
 
@SexRobot oh damn it this one is tempting.
 
@Mana hahaaha fuck, that fact you pinned his message after saying that.
 
Just because I'm not as smart as you guys and I get annoyed easily doesn't mean I'm a jerk.
 
@SexRobot I'd like to point out, nicely, that's not why we're starring that.
 
@SexRobot we don't think you're a jerk
but we don't think you're the nicest dude ever
 
4:02 AM
@SexRobot You're the only one who says you're not smart
 
@Mana WELL PHOOEY
 
It's because there's absolutely no filter between what you write and what you think.
 
@SexRobot To be fair, no ones as smart as me. I even put Einstein to shame.
 
I can live with that.

Only nicest dudes ever tell people to eff off

4:02 AM
@fbueckert That makes me not-nice?
@MarkTrapp hahahaha oh boy
 
@SexRobot No, that makes you a jerk, for the most part.
 
@fbueckert What, how?
 
@fbueckert aw come on.
this is getting not cool.
 
@Mana No I want to know why people don't like me here.
 
@SexRobot I like you.
 
4:03 AM
@SexRobot I'm not sure how often I've explained this.
 
user2334
mommy daddy please stop fighting it's my birthday
 
Filter required between brain and fingers.
Seriously.
 
@MarkTrapp I'm not your real dad!
 
@MarkTrapp I DON'T CARE! GO BACK TO BED!
 
@SexRobot You have plenty of keystrokes to say to yourself, "This may not be a good thing to say. What happened last time I said it?"
 
4:04 AM
@OrigamiRobot Which thing?
 
EVERYBODY WISH @MARKTRAPP A HAPPY BIRTHDAY
 
Mostly people just ignore me.
 
@SexRobot Anything
 
user2334
@Mana It's not my birthday I just don't want mommy and daddy to get a divorce :(
 
@MarkTrapp too late it's your birthday
 
4:05 AM
@OrigamiRobot I don't say any hate speech or offensive shit.
 
user2334
:(
 
Well, not much offensive shit.
 
@SexRobot :x...
 
And yet here we are.
 
Also, @SexRobot, drawing the conclusion no one here likes you because of stars is silly. In case you haven't noticed we star anything that makes people look bad, no matter who it is.
 
user2334
4:05 AM
@SexRobot just this afternoon you were making fun of the Italians!
 
Again
 
user15026
@marktrapp its fine. Adults fight sometimes. Take your blankie and teddy and go back to sleep. It will be okay.
 
@SexRobot: I'm sure some people here dislike you, but not everyone is going to like you, but I'm sure the majority do like you. But the ones that dilike you probably just have a lower tolerance for some of the stuff you do (like the "fuck you" to mana right now).
 
@Wipqozn Yeah, my stupid shit gets starred all the time.
It annoys me.
 
@MarkTrapp I was not! I said my Aunt is very Italian and she's a lot like me. But I'm not mostly Italian.
 
4:06 AM
STOP MAKING ME LOOK BAD, PEOPLE!
 
@SexRobot yup, sounds like you're making fun of Italians to me.
 
@Mana Fuck you
 
@SexRobot :O
 
2 mins ago, by OrigamiRobot
@SexRobot You have plenty of keystrokes to say to yourself, "This may not be a good thing to say. What happened last time I said it?"
 
user15026
This is one of those times a filter would have been good.
 
4:06 AM
@OrigamiRobot I wrote that on purpose.
 
10. 10 keys.
 
@OrigamiRobot ...8?
 
@OrigamiRobot And a mouse click!
 
user2334
@AshleyNunn Yay, sleep! That's where I'm a viking!
 
@SexRobot Space and enter.
 
4:07 AM
@OrigamiRobot What if I clicked 'send'?
 
Then you are dumb.
 
wooooooah.
nobody's dumb here guys.
 
@OrigamiRobot HAH
 
You know what?
 
@Mana why am I still a sex machine?
 
4:08 AM
I'm done here, guys.
G'night.
 
user15026
@marktrapp The most lovely of Vikings. Everything will be okay in the morning. We will have pancakes.
 
user2334
@Mana I'm dumb. This has all just been one big ruse.
 
@Mana I asked around and I'm pretty sure we're all dumb here.
 
@Mana That guy who changed @SexRobot's name back is literally hitler though.
 
@fbueckert No hard feelings, sorry.
My name is still sex robot
 
4:08 AM
In chat, not on the site.
 
Caching stuff.
 
user2334
@AshleyNunn Okay, this is getting creepy now :(
 
there's like...a thing. a name thing. y'know?
 
user15026
@marktrapp yeah, I tend to accidentally do that.
 
@Mana I don't believe anthing you say anymore. Your words are now venom to my ears.
 
user15026
4:09 AM
Sorry.
 
user2334
De nada!
 
@Wipqozn oh sweet
 
@Mana NO IT'S NOT SWEET AT ALL! ZEUS DAMN IT!
THat's it. I'm starting a mortal enemies list, and you're number 1 on the list @mana.
 
@Wipqozn OuO
 
@Mana HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES
I need to watch the new mlp episode.
 
4:12 AM
@Wipqozn no
 
@Mana yes
 
@Wipqozn no
 
@Mana yes
 
@Wipqozn no
 
@Mana yes
 
4:13 AM
I WANNA PLAY TOO
 
user15026
@wipqozn omg yes you do. It is quite good.
 
@AshleyNunn NO
THIS IS UNNAAAACCCEPPPTAAABBBBLLLEEEE
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
 
@Mana You know what else was unacceptable?
ALso, Zeus damn it. I was planning to go to bed an hour ago.
 
user15026
@wipqozn what time is it where you are?
 
@AshleyNunn Midnight.

Q: What does the summoners borders mean?

Fredy31In the new season, we now have borders with the summonners on the loading screen. What do they mean and what colors can be earned?

 
I'M GOING TO BED
 
@Wipqozn Where there's trouble you call DW!
 
user15026
4:19 AM
@wipqozn I watched so much Arthur as a kid
 
@Wipqozn A-A-R-D-V-A-R-K!
 
user15026
@origamirobot I totally read that like he says it
 
Anybody?
 
4:21 AM
 
user15026
@wipqozn i remember that episode!
 
@Mana Aww, it cut out the "Who's this rigamarole?!?!"

Q: How do I access my fileshare outside the game?

EBongoPrevious installments of the Halo series let you access your fileshare outside the game to queue downloads, and share files. I can't seem to figure out how to do this for Halo 4. I'm most interested in sharing files with others, ideally something linkable. How do I do that?

Q: Unable to open Mass Effect purchased on Steam beyond the start menu screen

deppfan85I bought Mass Effect 1 and 2 during the summer sale on Steam, and I have not been able to get the first one to play. No matter if I try to open the game from my Steam window, or the location where it saved it on my computer, I can never get any further than it opening up the main start menu of t...

 
@Mana Dis Sufjjan Christmas comp.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Haven't heard it yet.
 
@Mana It has a Prince cover.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz modeleted.
 
@Mana Thanks. @badp yelled at me when I asked him to.
 
5:23 AM
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH 58 TRACKS
58?!?!?
 
@Mana It is a 5 disc boxed set
 
WHAT WHY.
 
@Mana This is his second 5 disc set of christmas music. Volumes 6-10.
@Mana Sufjan is a big fan of Jesus.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz WHAT.
@LessPop_MoreFizz JESUS.
 
@Mana Check out track 37 it is a Prince cover.
just kind of sitting in the middle out of nowhere.
 
5:25 AM
oh my god I just remembered that I still have to listen to the new How To Dress Well album
@LessPop_MoreFizz what
 
@Mana Track 37 is a Prince cover.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I know but why is this here
 
@Mana I don't know. The disc that it's on has a gundam looking thing on it's album cover for some reason I don't understand.
 
anyways, on to How To Dress Well.
 
ahahahahahaha listen to Sufjan's Joy to the World
it is vocodered all to hell
 
5:31 AM
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA FINALLLYYYYYYYYY
OH MY GOD NEW LOCAL NATIVES SINGLE
 
Dunno if anything on this new Sufjan Xmas is as good as Come on! Let's Boogey to the Elf Dance! or Did I Make You Cry on Christmas Day? (Well, You Deserved It!) from the first record.
song is so very very sufjan.

A: How do I get the Midnight Launch achievement?

SlendermanJust so you know, instead of doing the ramps, i just drove it off the cliff at 12:00. lulz it worked. Just drive it right off from where you got it and bam! 20 gs. enjoy

This doesn't really answer my question, but I'm not sure if it quite counts as NAA
 
> GUY FIERI, have you eaten at your new restaurant in Times Square? Have you pulled up one of the 500 seats at Guy’s American Kitchen & Bar and ordered a meal? Did you eat the food? Did it live up to your expectations?
> Did panic grip your soul as you stared into the whirling hypno wheel of the menu, where adjectives and nouns spin in a crazy vortex? When you saw the burger described as “Guy’s Pat LaFrieda custom blend, all-natural Creekstone Farm Black Angus beef patty, LTOP (lettuce, tomato, onion + pickle), SMC (super-melty-cheese) and a slathering of Donkey Sauce on garlic-buttered brioche,” did your mind touch the void for a minute?
> Hey, did you try that blue drink, the one that glows like nuclear waste? The watermelon margarita? Any idea why it tastes like some combination of radiator fluid and formaldehyde?
 
user2334
5:53 AM
oh god if you queue up as a healer for scenarios you suuuuuuuuuuck
 
@MarkTrapp Do they suck as much as Guy Fieri's restaurant?
 
user2334
Yes.
 
@MarkTrapp That's a whole lot.

Real Life Examples

Proposed Q&A site for students looking for examples of how theory is actually applied. This is really big in math and science where you learn theory, but then wonder how it might actually be used.

Currently in definition.

 
user2334
Scenarios are designed for facerolling DPS. Every class has at least one DPS spec. Everybody wishes they could DPS. Heck even tanks do hell of DPS now. Choosing healer for scenario is like saying "You know, I'm Guy Fieri and I'm going to start a new resturant"
 
user2334
I did 73% of the damage in the last scenario because I got stuck with a tank and a healer

@MarkTrapp I just googled faceroll. This is the funniest thing I've never heard of.

@LessPop_MoreFizz ... ?
 
Look at my post count. Now look at your post count. Back at me. I'm a whale.
 
Eww discussion :P
 
user2334
9:01 AM
@badp dang. I was the first to get a silver discussion badge on Programmers and I thought that was hardcore
 
user2334
I had 59 questions/314 answers: pretty close to your 63/317 CLEARLY I DIDN'T LIKE TO DISCUSS THINGS
 
@badp We have a "discussion" tag?
 
@MartinSojka on meta, sure
You could say obligatory tags are cheating and you wouldn't be too wrong.
 
user2334
Dang, only 5 answers away from the gold discussion badge. Too bad I'm deleting my Programmers account
 
@MarkTrapp TIME TO GEAR UP TO TROL---
oh well
Make it a question, "Why am I deleting my account" and self-answer five times. Drama + gold badge! YOU CANNOT GO WRONG.
 
user2334
9:05 AM
It'll get downvoted to hell before I get my badge thus ruining the score requirement :(
 
user2334
Only have 1120 score in the tag
 
user2334
Oh, it only counts upvotes
 
user2334
BRB LOL
 
Simply put in your posts before you can receive 120 downvotes, duh
@MarkTrapp so brave <3

gdi there's gotta be a shortcut to shut down Windows 8
 
user2334
9:08 AM
finding the 5 pixel target area in the corner, then the 5 pixel target area on the right side, then clicking the gear, then power, then shut down is insane
 
Doesn't Wndows have a command line option for shutdown?
 
user2334
That would require pretty much the same amount of clicks to load up terminal
 
shutdown -i, make a shortcut with that as the command, stick it on the desktop
 
user2334

A: What are some quick(er) ways to shut down Windows 8?

MarkLCtrl+Alt+Del and then select shutdown. Alt+F4 from desktop does the trick as well. Configuring power button is the best way though.

 
user2334
Alt+F4, which they disabled in all Metro apps, shuts down the computer WHAT IS GOING ON
 
9:11 AM
Or Win + R, then shutdown /s
The thing is, with regards to the Metro side of things, tablets usually aren't shut down very often
 
user2334
But I'm not on a tablet. Windows 8 assuming everyone's running a tablet is a broken UX
 
Well no, Windows 8 assuming everybody running the Metro side of stuff is running a tablet
They sort of uncomfortably jammed the two environments together
 
user2334
@YiJiang but, since you can't escape using the Metro side of stuff for pretty much anything, implies that it assumes you're running a tablet.
 
Why can't we have apostrophes in tags? The tag makes me want to edit it every time I see it
 
user2334
The desktop UI is definitely a second class citizen
 
user2334
9:16 AM
@YiJiang easier/cleaner URLs? I'm sure there's an MSO question somewhere
 
Can't we just rename the tag to ?
 
user2334
Hm the tag FAQ seems to make it out to be that no punctuation in tags is a suggestion, not a technical limitation
 
81
A: Which characters make a URL invalid?

GumboIn general URIs as defined by RFC 3986 may contain any of the following characters: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789-._~:/?#[]@!$&'()*+,;=. Any other character needs to be encoded with the percent-encoding (%hh). Each part of the URI has further restrictions abou...

The apostrophe is allowed as far as I can tell
 
WHY DO YOU TAKE COVER WHILE I'M FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE
IT IS CHEATING TO TAKE COVER
GET IN MY FACE SO I CAN SHOOT YOU GOOD
 
user2334
@YiJiang IIRC, Stack Exchange is overzealous with escaping, so it'd urlencode the apostrophe which breaks all links, because SE isn't smart enough to decode the request
 
9:19 AM
Ahahahaha, I just tried inserting a apostrophe into the tag, and the site made it two tags
 
@MarkTrapp win+R still works to bring up the run box, I just prefer not shutting it down at all though
 
Brilliant
 
user2334
@YiJiang wat
 
oh, that already got said
 
user2334
Oh, it's probably because it thinks it's a delimiter. 'foo', 'bar'
 
user2334
Other punctuation of course works: ,
 
user2334
Had to try it myself :P
 
The one is weird, because # isn't a valid URL character
And neither is +, actually
 
user2334
Yeah, they both get urlencoded
 
It's not a technical limitation
@MarkTrapp Experimenting on random people's post, oy :P
 
user2334
9:22 AM
Should have a meta sandbox!
 
But we do! Well, on MSO we do
 
user2334
 
user2334
Wrapping double quotation marks around it doesn't work either :(
 
user2334
Seems like something that should be fixed. Other games have contractions too
 
user2334
It shouldn't be because that's not the name of the game. is better failing the use of apostrophes
 
user2334
 
user2334
Probably a ton of tags that should have a possessive "s"
 
@MarkTrapp I know, I was joking
 
@YiJiang But SQL injection!!1!11oneone
That'd be pretty funny.
 
But, it's a user competence limitation. Putting an apostrophe in the tag means you expect users to type the apostrophe.
Which of course they won't because that key is miles away from where their hands are, or something.
 
9:32 AM
I can see how commas and spaces are used as deliminators, but apostrophes?
 
I think it just looks for non-tag characters.
 
Hmmm, possibly
tag characters: [a-z 0-9 + # - .]
 
I guess it could be more intelligent and go "You noob, WTF is this apostrophe of which you type?", but by the time you have enough reps to create tags I guess you should just know better. :P
 
Actually, I just tried it - if you actually type don't-starve into the box, the apostrophe is removed
 
user2334
@YiJiang in tagging systems that support spaces, quotation marks (single and double) are used for delimiters. "don't starve", "i like cats", etc. Maybe it's a throwback to that
 
9:36 AM
And the tag becomes .
 
I like Danbooru's approach: Spaces are delimiters. If you want a space in a tag, use an underline. If you want an underline, get off my lawn.
 
user2334
Double up the underline if you want an underline. If you want a double underline, quadruple up. And so on ad infinitum until you hit the tag character limit
 
user2334
10 trappbucks says using apostrophes gets magically fixed when SE's localization project completes
 
I'll take that bet and counter that it will be commas that get magically fixed, as they are the closest we're going to get to a backwards version of the apostrophe.
 
user2334
either way, I'm putting ç, ø, and  in all the tags
 
9:42 AM
obviously
 
user2334
 
@MarkTrapp This is the most grammatically correct

Q: I can't move or dump items that were dropped by Dwarfs interrupted in a task

leugimI started with DF a few days ago and am completely hooked. Currently I'm at my 5th fortress.. I'm still trying to survive the first attacks. I was trampled by elephants, accidentally drowned my population, annihilated by cave dragons(?) and massacred by a horde of gobblins. I've never been more ...

A: Android UserManager.isUserAGoat()

pdknskThis appears to be in reference to the Task Manager in Google Chrome. In Chrome, open the Task Manager with Shift+Esc. Right click to add the Goats Teleported column. Wonder. In case anyone doubts this, there was even a bug report about too many teleported goats.

 
No, seriously, "DEFCOИ" is actually how the game's title is written on the box. :)
 
duh
 
Oh wow, reading a report of a pretty serious password recovery vulnerability in Skype.
 
10:04 AM
wooooo
@TimStone does that also mean Microsoft accounts?
 
Why is this even allowed? |:
 
(Also it doesn't recover the original password yes?)
 
@badp From the look of it, it's specific to Skype
No, it just lets you reset the password on someone's account, effectively hijacking it.
 
uh, so since I've merged my Skype and MS account I should be (cough) safe?
 
Uhh that I'm not sure about. I don't know how Microsoft manages access credentials in that case...
 
10:06 AM
@TimStone okay, that makes me feel much better.
@TimStone Hopefully in a completely different system
If nothing else you can protect MS accounts with two-factor auth
 
@badp You can do that now? Where do I sign up?
 
@YiJiang Somewhere in your settings. When you install Windows 8 it asks you security questions and one of them is your phone number
That's how I set it up
 
@badp Yeah, still pretty damn serious though. I could, for instance, hijack the account of someone working for a particular company and, assuming they have chat history enabled, get all of that information.
 
@TimStone uh I don't think that's how Skype works. I mean, I wish that's how Skype worked.
Losing years' worth of chat logs due to reinstalling the OS? Not fun
 
Skype syncs message history across all devices as long as there's a peer to send it, which is why Skype on mobile is pretty damn useless (my phone gets sad-faced when it tries to pull my message history).
 
10:10 AM
That would explain it
except Skype and Metro Skype don't seem to have this interaction, even when running in the same machine
ah, mysteries
 
This is pretty serious, and easy to exploit
 
Yeah :/
 
Good thing I never use the same mail account twice, though I might add a bit more random letters and numbers to the Skype one just to be sure ...

Q: Rename the [legend-of-heroes-tits] tag

JosefvzI'm not sure but i think that the tag legend-of-heroes-tits should have something else in it instead of 'tits' or am i just being overly sensitive? The game name is Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky

 
@Lazers Ahahahahaha
Sorry, who thought it would be a good idea to shorten "Trails in the Sky" to "TITS"?
 
user2334
I bet whoever it was thought they were so clever
 
user2334
 
Presumably @RavenDreamer had a tag for it originally that doesn't involve the unfortunate abbreviation?
 
@YiJiang Microsoft's apparently disabled password reset while they investigate.
 
Can't we just use ?
 
user2334
@YiJiang Nope, it's a series
 
user2334
@MartinSojka That's what XSEED, the publisher uses, so A++ would use tag again from me
 
@MartinSojka Yeah, that's what it was originally.
 
zzzzzz
Training sessions send me to sleep

10:40 AM
Writing a meta answer so you can all upvote accordingly
 
ok I will downvote it for you
so, how do you delete a tag now the auto pruning has been disabled?
 
user2334
@pixel Untag it from all questions and wait 24 hours
 
ah ok
 
user2334
The tag pruning job that was removed only applies to singleton tags
 
awesome
so kinda exactly what arqade needed then
 
user2334
10:43 AM
Indeed
 
user2334
So wait for dissenting opinions or can we kill the tits tag already?
 
Don't see any reason not to kill and just put what was there originally.
 
... Must ... not ... make ... bad ... puns ...
 
user2334
Done. Our long, national nightmare is over.
 
Thank god someone thought of the children.
