no

I just came up with it

I like it.

But I can't drink

:o

just call it GameDev General. just adding that word should excuse whatever goes on here.

not really

because it means general stuff about game development

I like Pub

Pub<GameDev> is more like a pub with game developers in it

reading it literally would mean general stuff about gamedev, but anyone with forum or IRC experience should know if it has the word general it's for everything.

I think I'll ping Shog to come change the name

then immediately go to sleep

or maybe I'm alone in that

@AlexM. don't

wtf irc

so you were the one chatting with my grandma back in the day

He doesn't want to come in the room

whoa hey now, I still use IRC sometimes. it's the only good chat protocol that can run without a desktop client.

other than site specific chats like this one

meh extra chatrooms

people on the se are way more than enough for me

any more and some might even get the impression that I am gasp sociable

right now I just have this one and one other with some close friends

I've had up to 6 plus 2 or 3 forums though. that didn't last long; was a bit too much.

@hasherr soundcloud.com/clozee/griz-keep-the-dream-alive

@hasherr soundcloud.com/amfybios/amfybios-red-laser-free

when I was playing EVE it was even worse, but only because my alliance had like 3 in-game rooms, a few dozen out of the game, and a forum.

wtf

@hasherr Do you know Wick-It?

No.

meh I tried to check out workplace.se's chatroom

but it was so damn serious

like, full of shogs

it had like 6000 members. gotta split them up somehow.

jesus fucking christ

@AlexM. lol, can I join?

@hasherr soundcloud.com/wick-it/luniz-i-got-5-on-it-wick-it

Link me, I just want to see it

@hasherr I don't really care

I don't go there anymore

you won't find anything interesting

just people discussing what should be on the site

and that's about it

booorrrinngg

A room needs a little bit of edge

of course it is

Who says we can't have fun

of course it does

@hasherr

Classic track

@hasherr noctrine does

let's start a riot

Noctrine likes fun

Just not in the room

lol that makes no sense

gd.se is not some sort of workplace or whatever

Snog ignored this

> Game development discussion and other things. Please don't star trivial messages.

> Game development discussion and other things. Please don't star trivial messages.

Other things is an awfully broad topic for a game dev discussion room

@hasherr soundcloud.com/modigs/modigs-past-life-official

@GnomeSlice can you please stop distracting hasherr

I'm trying to talk to him

@AlexM. My bad

@hasherr the problem is we're the main chatroom

Thanks Gnomey. I'll listen to them later :)

@GnomeSlice jk

@AlexM. Well then maybe we shouldn't be.

yes

we should make a gamedev only chatroom

we've tried splitting before. no one used the second one.

Well, let's talk to Noc about that.

@IcyDefiance we've tried making a non-gamedev chatroom before

I thought we tried both

yeah?

then it only makes sense we didn't use the 2nd one

could be remembering wrong. my memory never has been any good.

we're not gamedevs enough to actually talk regularly about it

mhm

I guess gd.se needs new users then

Let me ask you guys a question

Why when I go on the site

To look for questions that possibly need answers

Hm

Nevermind

ask ussss

we need to know

No, my question was invalidated

haha

Speaking of religion

I wrote something today about religion

"religion sucks." - hasherr

I was going to post it on reddit, but I don't think I will anymore.

Charlie was the main char in a series of porn cartoons/interactive cartoons by pornholio

due to childhood, I now think of that whenever I see someone named Charlie

an average boys club

it rings a bit true

lol

> an average boys club

I'm okay with this.

Club<AverageBoys>

Club<SexyLingerie>

Club<Alex>

I like the idea that you can start a room with Club<~> where ~=whatever you want to discuss

where Alex implements SexyLingerie

@AlexM. Club<#>

But it would get overrun by a hungry pack of tweeters

Club<MickLH>

Users: 0

Jk

Okay

nah

users: 9001

So it'll be ClubPub<AverageBoyGameDevsWithSexyLingerie>

Mick + 9000 crazy fangirls

ClubPub<AverageBoyGameDevsWithSexyLingerieAndAlex>

ClubPub<#AverageBoyGameDevsWithSexyLingerieAndAlex>

NO JESUS ALLOWED

ClubPub<ShogAndHisFriends>

let's fucking do this

then whenever someone visits

we do a creepy face and say

"hey kid... wanna get shogged?"

FU

what did you try to write there

mandarin?

Nothing, don't worry about it

ಠ_ಠ

So my debit statement came today

And my parents were wtfing because I had like $250 gone

Wow

He doesn't get it, does he.

With UnityEngine.Texture2D UnityEngine is a class, and Texture2D is a class or object? If a class then can you nest classes.

if Vector2 is a struct then can you implement interfaces

I'm going to go apply for another job tomorrow

neat

My buddy told me the sandwhich shop he works at has had some people leave

I have to go to work in like 3 hours

Plus he said they all have dirty teenage minds, so work is actually fun

> sandwich shop

> dirty teenage minds

so... about that mayo

@AlexM. Yeah but you have a real job :P

@AlexM. Haha

yeah but I skipped the last two days so I have to work this weekend

not fun

So 3 months ago

I explicitly remember saying to somebody 'I'd rather go work somewhere than be in school all day'

eyyy @JoshPetrie is back

God damn, why was I so stupid

can we rename the room to Pub<GameDev>?

to make us seem less serious

and not give people the wrong impression

Shog came in and saw this

we got shogged

and I think he didn't quite understand what this chatroom is about

I don't know if he understands how we operate around here.

Man, me and Alex are really on the same page today

yeah lol

deleting 239 messages is an overreaction coming from someone who has no idea what gd.se is about

hmph

@JoshPetrie Why not?

fine, we can keep this mask on

Hold up alex

and ignore the fact that nobody around here is actually interested enough in gamedev to talk about it

because yeah that makes sense

Kind of wish Josh would give me a decent reason why he agrees with Shog instead of just putting his foot down.

I can agree with that.

yawn

fuck renaming the chat lol why is that even trying to be on the table

bureaucracy ahoy

The culture here is very different from the rest of the SE sites.

@JoshPetrie that's sorta ambiguous

what culture of the network

you'd have to kick a lot of people out for that to happen tbh

I think that already happens

It seems like people are chomping at the bit for a good problem to solve

no, Alex, I believe you're the only one around here that even pushes the boundaries of what "too far" is, though to be entirely fair "too far" is pretty ambiguous.

@MickLH this problem != gamedev

then again, I doubt "too far" could be fairly defined anyway, except for "not PG-13"

lol chill dude

It's more like PG-16 really.

Well yeah there's not a constant stream of good gamedev problems

the only moments I take it too far

is when you decide to jump in and argue

So we fall back to the backup stream

so you'd have to be kicked out too

nah, those have never gone too far in the sense of what is appropriate for this chat

in other news, I totally wasted like half a gram of weed trying to escape yellow jackets I pissed off while trying to just go have a chill smoke sesh outside

too far is more when you post pictures of lolis saying sexual things, or pictures of women who are only kinda sorta wearing a bikini.

uh

those are not lolis

first of all

I'm really at a loss here

some have been

second, what's wrong with bikinis

also uh before you continue

nothing at all, when they're actually being worn, lol

welcome back @VaughanHilts

nvm, that was pointless anyway

Been a while since Vaughn has been here.

yeah I think, didn't he leave before alex

I thought I've seen Vaughn yesterday wtf

He never really left

He just kind of stopped coming

but alex didn't either :P

@JoshPetrie of course not

it really depends on you

whether you want a room that's mostly empty

Well, with Alex there was a silly set of circumstances that lead to him going on exodus for a bit

or one where people talk about !gamedev stuff most of the time

Who said we were?

I think this is waaaay too seriously taken

@Alex: not in this chat you're not even close to being more commonly on-topic than me. in fact when I try to answer questions from new people, you're usually the one spamming the fucking chat with pictures of anime characters. on the Q&A site, I've hardly done anything, and have no interest in doing anything, so meh. and I'm not talking about who's more commonly on-topic in the first place. I'm talking about things that many people find offensive. it's those offensive things that make mods angry

bah stupid formatting

what the hell man

I don't even post that many pics wtf

there, now the message is right

pictures is just one example

I like posted two or three of them this whole year

bull

uh, not really

I don't post anime freely here

because I know the majority of people don't like to see it

Hate to be devil's advocate, Alex

But...

yes, that's one

anime characters, memes, "funny" gif's, etc etc etc

they're all included in what I'm talking about

the 2nd one is the one with the flags

I don't get you lol

Technically isn't every text message you post also posting an anime picture

I guess

we got a confession, ban him

lol

look, I don't think there would be a single problem from anyone, mod or otherwise, if 1) it's kept PG-13 and 2) when someone asks a gamedev related question everyone shuts the fuck up and allows him to get an answer.

I am sorry

but a woman wearing a bikini

hahahaha

is PG-13

^

and until about a month or two ago, most of the time people would shut up when someone asks a question. that doesn't happen anymore though, so I'm getting a little annoyed with people now.

you're just probably educated the wrong way

heck 6 months ago I was the guy most adamantly defending the ability to speak about off-topic things

@IcyDefiance I think it's just becoming more like the C++ Lounge

now I'm not so sure

It takes a good question to stir people up

But as you can see, mostly shit questions are coming up

@AlexM. not even remotely close to what anything I've said. you might want to try hitting me instead of a straw man.

@MickLH I don't see the similarities

I think GDSE can eventually converge on being a gamedev encyclopedia

@AlexM. Tread lightly.

... Should I go back to my hideout?

I saw that.

@VaughanHilts yeah

@VaughanHilts No, it's just getting a bit heated.

for a while longer

lol I don't see any heat

@MickLH then tell the guy it's a shit question. right now everyone is just getting ignored, shit question or not. I feel like the only person who even cares about anyone whose name isn't instantly recognizable.

We're here

Whelp.

@IcyDefiance you sort of have no reason to be nice to help vampires, you know that, right?

You know you guys could make a separate room for general chatter if you want to split it up a little

@AlexM. there are a lot of reasons to be nice to vampires. just no reason to give them blood.

you kinda are

@IcyDefiance I totally agree, but that supports my point on how it's evolving like the C++ lounge, I agree with you that people are less ready to jump on any on-topic question

you know when a new user comes to a chatroom and asks a question directly

@GnomeSlice it's been tried, and the idea isn't a bad one, but no one uses the separate room or has any interest in it.

it's like him saying "OOOOOOOOOOOH I BET THESE GUYS WILL HELP ME FASTER THAN GOOGLE"

@IcyDefiance Well yeah, that happens

helping him out would be a bad thing to do

And more people are getting ignored, but I think it's because we're all getting kinda jaded from the constant flow of half-assed kiddie projects that someone put no effort into and wants the rest of their game developed for free

@AlexM. sometimes people just don't get it from google.

sucks to be them I guess

better just let them stop there instead of carrying them around, eh?

@JoshPetrie of the sites, yes

who says so?

@AlexM. I think that's a bit of an irritating view point. If someone comes here, this chat represents our community.

@MickLH I can see that. but I still don't see what's so hard about a lmgtfy link. you get to both help the guy and be a bit snarky about it. even that is better than ignoring someone. and I'm not just talking about people with bad questions.

this chat is clearly about things that are not appropriate for the main site

@VaughanHilts okay, and?

even when someone has a good question, I'll try to help the guy out, and while we're attempting to talk everyone else is posting memes and stuff. this just happened yesterday even.

I'm not getting anywhere here

I'm outta this

@IcyDefiance Again, I totally agree, I see this chat as the next increment past comments (away from posts) from the main site

@IcyDefiance Usually best to split the chat off I find.

keep on trying to look serious and shit lol

I think we can resolve everything by just making a rule of resolving people's questions in the chat

you're just lying to yourselves
