17:00
@doppelgreener oh, are you moving? That’s cool!
grumble grumble grumble
@doppelgreener Summary: had two account, they got merged. Now I have a SINGLE site account and two chat accounts....
@RevenantBacon "sorry, i'm about to go to lunch. it'll have to wait a few more minutes" :D
@Derpy oh T_T
@Derpy I think that can be fixed. @AncientSwordRage used to have that problem, I think.
17:01
@doppelgreener And because of that, I cant find a way to change this chat account picture back to a Derpy.
@doppelgreener I'm of half a mind to say "It's been lying forgotten for two weeks, what difference is another hour going to make?"
@ThomasMarkov someone said they can't because chat is different and blablabla
But I won't, because it'll end up being really snarky
@RevenantBacon i definitely said that in my head but i would not say that out loud :P
17:16
site is down for maintenance
Someone must have broken something.
@ThomasMarkov sorry..
Anddd its back.
@ThomasMarkov it’s not for me
It was real quick.
17:35
It was just a flesh wound
What... Who.... Now?
@derpy do you need me to change it to your Apple picture?
@AncientSwordRage since it is different account, I think I will find a Derpy picture before you do that.
Am I the only one seeing @AncientSwordRage's name as just a diamond?
@Someone_Evil I see yours as a diamond too
any long names say the beginning and then cut off in a diamond I think
in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, 1 hour ago, by Rand al'Thor
@AncientSwordRage your name is so long that you lost it:
@Derpy if its ok now, I'll leave it
how do you unlock all these hats and stuff
I should pick food to order and not get distracted by chat
@TheDragonOfFlame do stuff like ask/answer etc
odd
is it christmas tradition?

Q: Winter Bash 2020 hat list 👒 🎩

GlorfindelWinter Bash 2020 has started and the hats (and masks) are listed below. As always, there are only two answers: one for the secret hats, and one for the regular hats. The secret hat list will be updated as we learn them. Please, only edit the secret hat answer with definitive and correct triggers....

17:50
@TheDragonOfFlame we've had a winter bash every hatmas since... 2013, i think?
and a hatmas every winter bash
the winter bash 2020 site lists how to obtain some of the hats, but some are secret: winterbash2020.stackexchange.com
@AncientSwordRage Also... HOW can YOU change accounts pictures for chat when I as the owner can't?
You aren't a staff member, I doubt your mod power allows for that.
@Derpy chat mod power allows for that
it's how we set avatars for the chatbots
@doppelgreener Then I guess I will be back when I get a nice picture. Out of curiosity.. can the name be changed too?
17:56
@Derpy I don't remember! @AncientSwordRage will be able to check
Because in that case I could ask someone on meta to rename Nevermore to Derpy.
@doppelgreener Are you sure? I'm seeing an option on the bot user profile which is not present on normal users'
I could try forcing a resync from main profile, but I would assume that's already been tried by someone
@Someone_Evil i thought it was in the little management button
@Someone_Evil There isn't a "main" profile, that is the point.
This is me
And this is still me
Two merged account.
18:00
can't you just use the second one?
A single main site identity, two chat users
@doppelgreener yep, but people on chat usually know me as Derpy.
@SPArcheon we'll learn!
people knew me when i switched
(after some transition period)
will consider that as an option then
18:03
@Derpy all I can do is resync your chat profile with your main site account
i'd put it like this: if you could just magically swish a wand and make one of your chat profiles be the one you were using all along, which one would you pick? if it's the SPArcheon one, I highly recommend making the switch. :) There will be a little bit of a transition period as you reintroduce yourself to people as "it's me Derpy", but it'll be over fairly quickly
you can replace swishing the wand by hitting someone with a magic stick, if you'd prefer
We could even pin something for you in NAB to help with the reintroduction, being your main hangout.
@Someone_Evil Got the marshall badge. No more comment flags from me. :P
I say as I flag a comment on meta.
@ThomasMarkov please, we need more people that flag comments.
@Akixkisu Of my 500 helpful flags, 326 were comment flags lol
@SPArcheon Something something AI overlord something something sockpuppet
18:15
@ThomasMarkov I feel like we need a fourteen sided die as a comment flag person.
@doppelgreener when did you switch, and from what? (If you don’t mind me asking, that is)
@Akixkisu 1d14
?
@AncientSwordRage twice ssd
Who has I think around 4500 helpful flags.
Wouldn't that be 2d7?
@Akixkisu 2d7 and 1d14 are not equivalent.
18:18
yes, we just need one person with double the potential.
@ThomasMarkov I have about 900 comment flags to a 100 or so post flags, and obviously my recent flags are strongly biased towards posts. I daresay you're good :)
Only 100 post flags? Do you even moderate bro? :P
@BardicWizard long, long ago, from a galaxy far, far away
(half of this is true)
(the rest is a mystery)
@doppelgreener sounds like a cool story
I’d love to hear it if you want to tell (I’m done half an hour early with my chem final and I’m not allowed to leave the meeting and I’m bored)
I have 77 helpful flags.
18:27
@RevenantBacon ok, since YOU asked for the long version of the story... take a chair while I use my bard levels to bore you to doom.....
@SPArcheon We were actually making a reference to something @BardicWizard said last week :p
Side note, can we do strikethrough text in chat?
~~~maybe~~~
maybe not
Yes.
Three --- on either side
The Derpy account...
Started as "Sweetie Bot". Then since Sweetie Bot was kinda misused as a meme by the mlp bad parts of the fandom switched to "Derpy Bot".
And then just Derpy.
originally, the account was meant for this:
18:34
then, I stopped, probably due to some random tire-fire that made me mad back then.
Don't think I even have the code of the bot anymore
So I switched using "Derpy" as an alt account on sites where I didn't care enough to bring the main account to (places I just posted a single question to over 9 years and more)
and then recently I merged them to clean up.
And was left with this thing.
Problem is, I should really understand HOW to get each chat account specifically before switching to one.
@ThomasMarkov do you mind disclosing how many of those flags were for rude/abusive posts? :)
Right now, for reason I don't get, a browser seem to use Derpy, other one uses the original main account.
@Akixkisu I dont know know how to see that metric.
@ThomasMarkov top right of your flagging history :)
Which you access by clicking on your helpful glags.
5 post flags for rude/abusive
cant see the comment flags broken down by flag reason.
18:40
They aren't, basically
@ThomasMarkov for some reason there is no metric for that.
probably due to the way the site handles flags.
@Akixkisu I've got about 1,000 flags, 11 of which were for rude/abusie
19 "unfriendly/unkind" comment flags.
Interesting, thanks :)
@ThomasMarkov where did you find that metric?
18:47
ctrl + f
ah, not going through 14 pages...
@Akixkisu Maybe in SEDE? I mean, they ahve to track it somewhere. Theres a query for that.
Don't think flag owner is availible there is it?
@NautArch Yeah 24 pages on my end, that is a lot of busy work.
I am hatted!
(The hats this year are definitely material rebel/structural rebel hats.)
19:05
I have never before found an image that so exemplifies my very being
19:23
Also: just had a customer put in an order that is 0.1% over their order minimum. Talk about just barely squeaking by.

Q: Can you misty step over an enemy and then fall down?

Johannes HöhmannCan you just use misty step to teleport over someone and then let yourself fall down? Or is the "space above someone" also occupied if he just stands on the ground? What's the RAW here?

Q: Dice rolling mechanic where modifiers have a predictable and consistent effect on difficulty

Miguel BartelsmanI am looking for a dice rolling mechanic that makes it such that increasing or decreasing a modifier on the roll has a constant multiplier effect on the probability of the outcome. Say you have to make a roll for STAT. Such a roll has a probability of success of 50%. Now say you roll with a mod o...

Q: Why were my comments deleted?

RayllumI recently commented on this answer. I wanted to share how I think the answer can be improved, but I evidently did something wrong. Since there is no deletion notice, I have to ask here: What did I do wrong? Was my feedback too long? (4 comments in total) Did I offend/insult someone? If yes, I a...

Re: Nice:
Oct 16 '18 at 5:13, by BESW
Kindness and compassion is often nice, but niceness/politeness/civility is often used as a fig leaf for refusing to be either of those things--for example, so long as you don't say certain words, you can defend being as mean as you like.
@BESW tadd to that the flip side of the coin, which is people using "civility" as an excuse to not call a spade a spade when it's staring them in the mouth

Q: How To Answer To Someone Saying D&D is stupid?

MinimilkI'm a senior in a US high school, so people's opinions are still very important to me. At my school, the board game club consists of like five people, and in the rest of the school, everyone thinks the game is for people who have never been in social interaction. I'm not socially awkward at all, ...
