8:00 PM
My irl name is somehow taken up everywhere too :(
 
@Ginger Tbf, caird is a pretty unique username, "caird coinheringaahing" is, at this point, my personal unique calling card
 
But somehow I was able to use it as my college email username, which is confusing
 
Okay, so a discord server I have with my friends has a #quotes channel for stupid/funny stuff we say. The most recent thing I was quoted as saying in that channel was

> "Pegging is when you rotate your penis 90 degrees into the complex plan"
I have no shame
 
maybe everyone with it before you didn't bother trying :P
 
8:01 PM
@cairdcoinheringaahing That's really nice actually, you can use the same username everywhere instead of having to tell people that you're caird000 on one site and theothercaird on another and so on
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing TNB quotes when
 
There’s one account I have that’s bbrk_24 because bbrk24 was taken
 
@Ginger That's called the starboard
 
I sure do love how delightfully functional chat's UI is
 
so true
 
8:02 PM
@RydwolfPrograms ooh, nice PFP
 
I'll post the script I generated it with
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing lol
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing well you got me there
 
@RydwolfPrograms It is both the worst, and best chat system I've used
 
8:02 PM
@RydwolfPrograms don’t you have your own
 
I do remember you talking about that before (having no shame, that is), although chat search is awful so I can't fin dit
 
> <title>WP Ukraine</title>
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing exactly
 
@RydwolfPrograms (ignore all the "ukrainian" in the code this was previously used by me for making my Ukraine flag pfp variant)
 
8:03 PM
I don't know why but I'm getting confused between Ginger and Bbrk's pfps now
 
@user colorblind?
 
@Bbrk24 No, I wasn't one of the people making a custom chat UI
 
@Ginger No I guess they both just look gradient-y?
 
I've meant to for ages tho, since long before the contest
 
ah
@user When I first set this on discord, like five of my friends were also gradients and it was amazing
 
8:04 PM
@RydwolfPrograms Ngl, Samuel Liew's one is really good
 
Oh no
 
@RydwolfPrograms your PFP looks a bit odd to me since the top and center colors kinda blend into each other
 
Yeah
I tried to somewhat fix that by upping the saturation, but it only helped to a certain degree
There's just not much in the top two fifths of my pfp
 
I know someone who overlaid the bi flag on their pfp for pride month one year, but then lost the original so now it’s just permanently that
 
8:05 PM
lol
 
lol
 
I think that happened to a server I was in (a low-quality version of the server logo was later recovered)
 
Actually I should just move the pawprint up a pixel shouldn't I
 
@user The server I’m thinking of goes by the acronym CDN
 
That still won't put the primary part of it in the pink zone at all, but more of the toes would be
 
8:06 PM
t o e s
I don't like that phrasing
 
oh, no, pfp, not server picture
 
Yeah it didn't feel like the right word lol
But I couldn't think of another
 
I think the word you're looking for is "beans"
 
@Bbrk24 A Discord server used as a content delivery network? Interesting idea :P
 
That’s not what it stands for :P
 
8:07 PM
*tragic wormhole intensifies*
 
 
no, that was a botched keyboard shortcut
 
Not much better but eh
 
it's a bit better
 
Heh, I still have the pride month PFP from last year
 
8:08 PM
did your PFP ever not look like that?
 
Yeah it was all magenta
 
@RydwolfPrograms It’s much better in places where it’s bigger, like your chat bio
 
it WAS?
 
Like how I draw it in SE Nitro
 
Did it use to be a gravatar?
 
8:08 PM
wow
 
Hold on I'll find it
 
It used to be an identicon before that yeah
 
@RydwolfPrograms wait you drew it there?
 
petition to make user get a rainbow gravatar
 
8:09 PM
But honestly "A username" with a blue identicon feels like an entirely different person to me
 
^
 
Ooh I remember that
We drew that in Canvas, right?
 
@Seggan Yeah emanresu is one of the plats
 
I don't remember emanresu before the rainbow
 
8:09 PM
In the apartment
 
Yeah I think so
 
@RydwolfPrograms oh yeah
 
@Bbrk24 lol gimme a minute
 
Where has Aaron been?
Are they still in Vyxal?
 
nope
 
8:10 PM
He's been inactive :(
 
we haven't seen him for quite a while, sadly
 
I can set a flag pfp when I get home today
 
Emanresu's old pfp was drawn on Canvas several times
 
oh, I remember that
 
Y'all can probably find screenshots of it in the Canvas room I'd bet
 
8:10 PM
those were the days
 
Well just wait for next April
I have plans
 
I do have a copy of the Canvas code, so maybe they can be the days again
 
@RydwolfPrograms Tell me when you want me to push it
 
@RydwolfPrograms well now I'm extremely concerned
 
@Ginger I think his last message was in April of 2022
 
8:11 PM
@emanresuA Will do. Probably won't update the viewer until the last chapter's added tho
 
whenever you say things like that you either 1. forget about it and never mention it again or 2. unleash some unholy thing upon an unsuspecting world
speaking of: what happened to the "infinite products store" story?
 
I've told you about this plan in particular haven't I
 
ohhhhhh that one?
 
Huh?
 
We even discussed it in campfire recently
 
8:12 PM
yeah I know the one
 
the thing we do on the day we do the thing where we do the thing we do not do?
 
I think I'll do it for a winter holiday present instead of an april fools one tho
 
&thumbsup;
 
So I still have 6 months to procrastinate :p
I think part of why my pfp looks weird is I didn't change the saturation or lightness of the stripes, just the hue, and the stripes of the bi flag are probably of differing lightnesses
Like the purple stripe is definitely too bright
 
8:14 PM
agreed
 
I'll probably leave it tho, mostly out of laziness :p
 
relatable
 
you gotta wait 2m to make fun of people's typos :p
Distract them in another room with a ping to be extra sneaky
 
do not quote the dark magic to me Rydwolf
 
Oh right lyxal has probably taught you all the tricks :p
 
8:15 PM
@RydwolfPrograms hmm I wonder if that's a client or server side restriction...
 
yup
 
I was too lazy to figure out how to overlay images so imma just do a straight rainbow flag lol
 
I am mastering the fine arts of going a little trolling
@user use the tool I made!
 
What tool?
 
@Seggan server side
 
8:16 PM
it's a bit janky but it does work
 
How u know?
 
because it yells at you if you wait for too long
 
@Ginger Ooh that's nice
 
I've done my best to figure out how chat returns various error states
 
and said yelling is contained in the server's response to the edit
@user thanks!
 
8:17 PM
Bit time-consuming to add all the stripes tho
 
ik ik
 
You should have prefixes for the generic pride flag and the bi flag
 
I made it in 10m okay?
 
Oh also I know this is pointless pedantry but your bi flag has the wrong center stripe width :p
 
Yeah not criticizing just a potential feature to add later
 
8:18 PM
(so does mine tho since 16 doesn't divide by 5 :p)
 
@RydwolfPrograms it also has a row of un-overlayed pixels at the very bottom because of a rounding error somewhere in the code d:
and now you can't unsee it
 
Never have I been so happy for downscaling
Because I can't see it :p
 
I can, and it bugs me every time I look at it
but whatever
 
@Bbrk24 I don't get why people go so crazy for lions during June but there, I changed my pfp
 
nice
 
8:24 PM
:P
 
ugh, and now I'm going to confuse user with emanresu
 
same lmao
 
I've really hoisted myself by my own petard here
tangent: for the longest time I thought a "petard" was an article of clothing and just recently learned it's actually a kind of explosive
"hoisted by his own petard" basically means "<the bomb-maker was> yeeted by his own bomb"
 
You're the only person I've ever heard say "hoisted by [their] own petard"
 
TV Tropes has ruined my vocabulary
 
8:28 PM
Ah it's from Shakespeare
 
(also if we're being really pedantic you didn't hear me say it q:) (unless you're using a screen-reader)
 
actually I can hear your thoughts
 
how the hell are you still friends with me
 
when you can read people's thoughts your standards go down
 
ah
I just looked at your PFP at a larger scale and the single-pixel offset of the beans looks so weird
I unconsciously know how it's supposed to look and having it be subtly different is really messing with me
 
8:31 PM
The pawprint is 11×11, which is annoying
 
8:55 PM
can't you just offset the flag relative to the pfp, so the middle stripe isn't in the actual middle of the pfp but it is in the "visual" middle?
 
9:13 PM
Okay I have a few options for pride pfps
I could just make my pfp a flag
but I also have this:
I've set that as my pfp on a couple discord servers
What do you guys think?
 
&thumbsup;
 
it's pretty good yeah
in other news
 
what that
 
who ever said anything about needing to improve our own reader for se nitro :P
2 hours ago, by Unrelated String
actually wait maybe i'll make one of those custom gist sources for cubari lmao
wait was that two fucking hours ago
 
how the time flies
 
9:19 PM
@user but yeah you can use arrow key navigation now
 
@UnrelatedString oooh
 
why is mathscat the antagonist?
 
why not
there's a lot of TNB lore behind it; ask Rydwolf for better info
 
I really don't understand a lot of this, maybe because I haven't been here that long
 
i don't understand any of it at all :P
 
9:22 PM
@Bbrk24 I've been here since it started and I still only understand like half of it :p
it's fun tho
 
Actually, I want to do something with my pfp, but the image editing tools I have may not be powerful enough
 
@Bbrk24 basically this, but the symbol has stripes like the flag, but with a black outline to divide the flag from my gradient
 
sounds possible with Inkscape
 
9:25 PM
you'd have to do a little messing with clipping shapes
 
yeah it sounds like you just need to get vector data for the symbol
 
Yeah but I only have paint.net
 
but if you clip the flag with the symbol it should work
 
The problem isn't the symbol-shaped flag, it's the black outline
 
if you can get me an SVG of the symbol I can probably do it
(and also hex codes for the gradient)
(and also an image of the flag)
 
9:26 PM
Sure, one moment
You can get the gradient from my current pfp though
 
I guess, but it'd work better if you could give me the hex codes
 
let me introduce you to the eyedropper tool
 
eyedropper is too imprecise
 
Also I don't have an SVG of the symbol, just a big (760x1052) PNG
 
there's probably one online if you do some googling
 
9:29 PM
paint.net is a bitmap editor, it doesn't support svg, so I generally have no reason to keep svg's. Plus, the original source I got it from is that png
I just took static.wikia.nocookie.net/gender/images/8/86/… and removed the white background
 
hmm
found an SVG on Commons
 
9:41 PM
@Ginger No worries if not, but I would appreciate it
I just thought of something that might be funny
if I change it, but only on Workplace
 
@Bbrk24 I'll take care of it in six to eight weeks™️
@Bbrk24 lol
 
I probably won't do that
In other news:
 
it'd be funny tho
@Bbrk24 approval
 
@Ginger That'd mean I'd have to set my chat parent user to workplace though
 
Opera's got a hell of a marketing department
@Bbrk24 nah
If you just change it on workplace it'd be fine
ohhh you want it to display in chat too
 
9:50 PM
yeah
 
damn shame it doesn't run on ARM tho
 
What doesn't?
 
GX
I might actually consider using it if it did
 
ah
 
CMP: would yall be interesting in a site wide competition to create a text compressor? the texts would be secretly chosen by the judge (but with hints as to their content given ofc) and the compressor with the best average compression ratio over the texts wins
 
9:54 PM
import gzip
 
gzip is a general use compressor though (not just for text), and optimized for things like speed and memory
 
you know someone's going to do something of that nature, though
 
SSS beats gzip for shorter texts 99.9999% of the time
@Bbrk24 i plan to benchmark standard algos too
 
@Ginger Do you have a more serious estimate? I just want to know if I should upload the version I have for now or if it'll be okay to wait until you have that version
 
@Seggan That sounds super cool
Maybe post on meta to get an approximation of how many people would be interested?
I'd love to compete, but I also really wanna be a judge since inventing strings that would sort of stress test golfing language string compressors would be really interesting
 
10:17 PM
@user i made it 3 parts without needing hover text but now i'm laughing my ass off over misreading "no raisin will stop justice"
 
@UnrelatedString does your viewer support hover text?
it doesn't seem to work for me
 
@UnrelatedString NO WAY-IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE THAT
 
@Bbrk24 it doesn't seem to support hover text (or any page-by-page metadata) but i could put the hover text in the chapter title or something :P
everything's just from se-nitro.surge.sh/data.js
 
oh thanks, those transcripts make it a lot easier to follow
 
Ooh I never realized that the title texts newline-separated would make a great transcript
 
10:26 PM
This is mostly easier to follow because it says who all the stick figures actually are
 
yeah lol
 
> 11ium
 
Mod abuse!!! -> Mod abuse!11!11!! -> 11
 
I know
I just found "11ium" funny
> Land ho!
Rude.
Is that a 505-dollar bill?
 
10:38 PM
@UnrelatedString Part 3, Chapter 5, Panel 15 isn't loading for me
panel 14 loads just fine
 
@Bbrk24 No, that's supposed to be two dollar signs and a circle 💀
 
@Bbrk24 yeah they don't load on the other reader either :P
i have no idea where they are even if they exist
but they have transcripts
 
I think it's a known and fixed issue?
Surge just hasn't been updated IIRC
oh nope they were never added
 
IIRC I have them on my local copy or sth?
I really hope I don't have to scroll through the 1000+ screenshots in my downloads folder to find these lol
oh ffs I was scrolling through my screenshots totally confused before I realized I had it sorted by size instead of recent
 
10:49 PM
For lack of response from Ginger, I'll just upload the version I posted earlier
 
LOL I just stumbled across this in the folder:
user image
5
 
uh, hm
squish
there we go
 
new pfp
uh?
 
You need to Ctrl+Shift+R a few times
And if you don't reset your chat parent it can take a while for internal caching to catch up
 
ah thanks
 
10:53 PM
FWIW I see your new pfp
 
I already reset the chat parent, I just hadn't reloaded
 
Okay so huge chunks of Nitro are missing from my drive
Wait maybe I can find the images in the chat room
Found 'em!
 
@RydwolfPrograms discord apparently
I've tried sending a DM or two over the years but never got a reply
 
@emanresuA Can you update surge, I fixed p3c5
 
11:19 PM
@Ginger me when it's probably gonna have to be mid July now
Uni exams + age incrementation + wanting to put any motivation I get into making v3 a thing
 
Would it be possible for you to just send your script to one of the other people for them to draw it?
 
It would be
I would be fine with that
 
(altho I'm telling you if a chapter takes more than 10m to draw you're doing it wrong :p)
 
I like making things legible and coherent
 
is the reader-drawn chapter specifically the lyxal-drawn chapter
and yeah the less legible the better LO
*:P
 
11:24 PM
How the hell did you get LO from :P?
 
dubfwe ub rgw qeibg okXW
(finger in the wrong place)
 
@UnrelatedString Ah of course my bad
 
@UnrelatedString I'm (allegedly) one of the people drawing it
Despite the fact I don't even recall saying I would :p
 
nice
depending on how many pages you already have maybe it could be, like, every x pages switches to someone else
 
11:28 PM
I've done 0 pages
Haven't even started lol
 
8 mins ago, by lyxal
@Ginger me when it's probably gonna have to be mid July now
That's when I plan to even start for reference
 
o/
(in response to hyper joining)
 
11:49 PM
@Simd you can probably shell out to image magic
although, why not convert them into an animated png anyway
@cairdcoinheringaahing calling caird?
 
Is anyone else here doing pride-related pfps?
So far there’s Ginger, Rydwolf, user, me, and technically Emanresu
