8:03 PM
Arda: 4
Fabian: 2
Mana: 1
:(
 
GnomeSlice: Lots?
 
I blame @Gnome.
hurray, my new headphones arrived!
 
Hope they're better than the ones I tried of the same variety.
 
@Gnome I dun get it.
 
@ArdaXi When I was picking out headphones, I bought like 7 different pairs and returned all but one.
 
8:07 PM
No, I meant your question.
 
One of them was the kind that @Mana is getting, and it must have been a defective pair because they were HORRID.
@ArdaXi Oh. Which one?
 
Die2Nite one
Sidebars
 
0
Q: What's Wrong With my Page?

GnomeSlice What's up with those sidebars? This isn't the first time this has happend.

Look at how wide the sidebars are.
 
Right.

Q: What's Wrong With my Page?

GnomeSlice What's up with those sidebars? This isn't the first time this has happend.

 
8:08 PM
...Why is...those things.
 
...
I don't see any problem here.
 
... Look at the one on the bottom.
It should be flat against my taskbar.
It's like an inch thicker than it's supposed to be.
 
Oh.
Well.
 
It was like this for about a week, a week or two ago, then it just went back to normal.
 
Maybe you should mention that in your question. Doofus.
 
8:10 PM
Probably unrelated, but Chrome did that to me in chat the other day. I had to unmaximize the window, and then remaximize it.
Presumably it's only for die2nite for you though, so >_>
 
<_>
 
@Mana Try now.
 
+1'd.
 
@TimStone That fixed it! :P Post it as an answer, please.
 
Oh, nifty :D
 
8:12 PM
chokes @Gnome
Also, in that case, this seems to be less of a Die2Nite problem and more of a browser issue
 
Should I take it down?
 
I don't think I'm in a position to tell you that.
 
Probably, yeah.
Only because it's just coincidence that it happened in a game, it could have easily happened somewhere else in Chrome, I suppose.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz It's the glue, actually.
 
@TimStone What if someone else experiences the same problem? It's only happened to be on Die2Nite.
I'll let the close police decide on this one.
 
8:16 PM
Silly Gnome, closing's for kids.
 
@GnomeSlice Hm, I suppose. I went ahead and posted the answer for completeness.
 
Basically what that means is: take it down or I'll take you down.
jk, leave it up.
 
But let's demand opinions from @badp too, since that's enjoyable.

Q: Heroes of Might & Magic 3: music at the beginning of a battle

David ParunakianThere are eight different short audio clips played at the beginning of every battle in HoMM III. The corresponding file names are battle0{0..7}.wav (contained in one of the .snd archives). How does the game choose which one to play: is it random, or does it depend on the battle terrain / other fa...

Q: old amiga space game a freind had

pampamhi this is sketchy i remember playing a space themed game where you could walk about and ask questions to the inhibitents of the planet i remember asking for money (could be kronas not sure tho) thats about all i can remember thx all for the amiga

 
@badp am I a good mod candidate
telllll meeeeeee
 
8:17 PM
@Mana Well you're active.
But.....I'm still gonna go with no.
 
oh wait, opinions on the question
I died laughing at "thx all for the amiga"
 
@Mana > Play nice.
 
No, no, I'm not making fun of him
I just find it amusing that markdown screwed up his meaning
 
@Mana Aye. Though he's not responding, which I find unacceptable. @Feeds, ban him!
 
Dammit, I need to earn my editing ability.
Every question with unacceptable grammar annoys me to no end.
 
8:23 PM
@Gnome but...that's my thing
 
@Mana It most certainly is not.
Clearly you've never seen me on twitter.
 
and besides, his first language probably isn't English
wait, you have Twitter?
 
@Mana will "yes" make you go away? hides
 
Yesterday, I wrecked Justin Bieber, RazB, and Nicki Minaj about their grammar.
 
just kidding just kidding.
 
8:24 PM
@GnomeSlice You are now my hero.
 
@Gnome ...wow. I'm actually impressed.
Follow me.
 
Probably only for the next few minutes, so make it last.
 
@TimStone There's a huge number of people you can whale on if you read the 'trending topics'.
"i kno its theyre not their but it's cos the other is trendinq bruh"
shudder
And that was his RESPONSE.
 
tries to stop eyes from bleeding
 
@Tim that's very kind of you but frankly I think your efforts are in vain
 
8:27 PM
"PowerBalance Admits Their a Scam FINALLY!"
Is there a way to post tweets directly into chat?
Wait don't tell me.
 
Twitter links do one-box.
 
That kind of power would corrupt me.
 
Or is that not what you meant?
Oh, you mean feeds-wise probably..
 
Grass grows, birds fly, sun shines, and eyes bleed.
 
Such is the way of the world?
 
8:28 PM
@TimStone One-box?
 
Oneeee booooox, oneeee liiiiiight
 
I'm not familiar with that term.
 
Computer-versions of board-games are on-topic here, or?
 
One-box:
how @jzy works, in animated gif form http://i.imgur.com/QBu9x.gif
 
@Fabian Does the question relate to the digital aspect, or just to the game itself?
@TimStone And that's what I meant. How did you do that?
 
8:29 PM
To the game client
 
@Fabian What's the question.
 
So I guess I can ask it here
 
http://twitter.com/#!/codinghorror/status/6932671120809984
 
let's get together and feeeel aaalllriiiiight
 
How to unmark groups as dead in KGS Go
 
8:29 PM
I SAID ONE BOX
 
@TimStone Where do you get the links?
 
Post the link by itself, single-line message.
 
@Fabian seems valid to me
 
Oh, I'm not sure, I'm not a Twitter user. :P
 
How did you get THAT link?
 
8:30 PM
He summed up all the numbers in his head
 
I just couldn't remember ever having seen a board-game question here
 
Board games often have variants that only exist in the computer versions, for reasons of timekeeping/randomization/lots of math etc. do we like questions about those?
 
@Willful Yes.
 
@GnomeSlice I copied it from when someone posted in MSO's Tavern. The date portion of the "Tweeted by..." text is a link to that specific tweet.
 
<-- Future mod says yes.
@TimStone Maybe @badp would know.
 
8:31 PM
Figured, but wanted a quick poll in the unlikely event I get REALLY into a Risk variant tonight.
 
@GnomeSlice If you are looking at someone's feed on Twitter, click on the timestamp for a specific tweet and it will link you directly to that tweet.
 
Raptor Safari drops frames on my desktop machine. :(
@EndangeredMassa Aha! Thank you muchly, kind sir/madam.
 
@GnomeSlice Certainly! It's not terribly clear where to find that.
 
Testing:
Completely Out-Of-Control Cell Phone Nearly Vibrates Itself Off Table http://onion.com/h2BvGo
Huzzah!
 
@ArdaXi @badp Rep collision officially postponed.
 
8:33 PM
@EndangeredMassa In fact, it's terribly UN clear.
 
Nice job negating clear there, @Gnome. 5 points.
 
@Mana Then that edit should be worth 10.
 
No, now it's worth 0, since there's no space in unclear.
 
I can't edit it now. :(
 
Precisely the point, dear chap. pats on head

Q: How to unmark groups as dead in KGS Go

FabianI just played a game of Go at the KGS server using CGoban 3 against a beginner. He mistakenly marked a group of mine as dead that was very much alive. I tried clicking on it, but the dead or alive status of the group did not change. How can I unmark a group as dead? How is it handled if the play...

Q: Where can i find dungeons in WoW

acidzombie243 of us noobs decided to play WoW and we want to do a dungeons instead of random question. We are level 7-8 so no dungeon finder for us. Also we using the trial. We choose the night elf race. Where can we find a dungeon we want to slay a boss and do some teamwork? Note: We are around the area wh...

 
Hard to believe it's been a year since I didn't become a better person!
Oh dear, I'm abusing my power.
 
Will I never be able to escape that horrible face? It keeps on growing larger every time I look. :/

;)
I don't have anything else to use.
...Although I haven't even worn my glasses in months.
 
what
you no longer wear glasses?
...oh yeah I guess you did ditch them
 
My eyesight is not very bad. I'm what the eye guy calls a 'part time wearer'
 
8:42 PM
'hipster poser'
 
I still wear them when I need them, just not often.
 
Hmm, I've only got -.75 and -1 but I can't stand not wearing mine.
 
Hipsters are bro-haters.
 
I am such a geek. I'm actually working out my physics notes in LaTeX to hand them in.

Q: High FPS config for Left 4 Dead 2.

Bruce ConnorA friend of mine is having a little trouble running Left 4 Dead 2 because of a weak graphics card. He consistently gets around 10 FPS. I've been looking around for a high FPS config for this game, but I haven't found any. I had the same trouble running TF2 on my netbook once, and using one of the...

 
8:45 PM
@Arda don't worry, I did the same thing in Physics...when I bothered to hand things in.
 
Most of my classmates can barely work Word, and I'm using LaTeX and Inkscape.
 
8:56 PM
Important enough to warrant a dedicated chatroom indeed!
 
1 message moved to oblivion
 
@ArdaXi Oblivion???
Heh.
@badp You spelled my name wrong though.
 
@GnomeSlice I chose your new nickname in the progress.
Splicing is cooler.
People have to google what a "splice" is.
...well, I would have to.
 
Separation of genes or something.
Also, bad guys in BioShock
 
@GnomeSlice See? I herd you liek references so I put a reference in ure reference so u can recall while u recall.
(also you can measure the amount of time people take to notice. for science.)
 
9:03 PM
I just destroyed my avatar room, by accident. :(
How did I just gain 2 rep?
I thought it came in groups of 5 or more?
 
2 for accepting an answer
 
Aha.
 
If anyone wants to know the secret to gaining rep - just have someone bump a Minecraft question to which you have the accepted answer.
free royalties
 
Don't you mean starcraft 2?
 
sure, or Fallout: NV
 
9:16 PM
Civ 5 is also pretty well voted on
 
Or Raptor Safari.
 
The votes on my kinect laser answer really surprised me, especially considering that there were quite a few errors in the earlier versions of my answer
 
I've got a couple Civ V answers, but they haven't been accruing much lately
 
My average score in Civ 5 qestions is 8, so those go really well
 
My highest voted answer is 8, and it wasn't even accepted.
Oh, I have 2.
 
9:20 PM
my average is just shy of 8, but that is highly skewed by the one 20-vote answer
 
@sjohnston DON'T TELL THEM THE SECRET OF ArdaXi++!
Seriously, I earnt like 100 rep yesterday just doing that.

A: What's the most efficient usage of the golden mushroom in Mario Kart 64?

GnomeSliceI agree with George Stocker about using it to get through slower shortcuts, and also to knock around other racers. However, my personal experience seems to suggest that giving it a bit of time in between presses of the [Z] button seems to help maximize the boost's effect. Of note is one of the ...

A: Steam says friend is playing Hello Kitty?

Arda XiAs Gnoupi said, it's possible to report any game you want to play as a non-Steam game. In this case, it's a joke reference to the episode "Make Love, Not Warcraft" of South Park, in which Butters prefers Hello Kitty Island Adventure over World of Warcraft. As far as I know no such game exists. ...

 
is the secret that you bump your own questions, @Arda?
 
That question went on far too long. And I still think my answer is right. ;)
 
9:21 PM
That image added 15 rep.
@sjohnston No, answers.
 
way to game the system
 
It's not gaming the system really.
 
pics are also free money
/beer/rep
 
I just need one downvote on the question and one upvote on this answer for a badge.

A: What genre do games like Tekken and Soulcalibur belong to?

Arda XiThe genre name for those games is simply 'Fighting', there's no special name for it. Wikipedia says: Fighting game is a video game genre where the player controls an on-screen character and engages in one-on-one close combat with an opponent.

Oh, need 6 more upvotes.
 
I'm tempted to upvote the question
but I will refrain
 
9:25 PM
That question is kind of silly.
 
@sjohnston Dost thou wish to feel the wrath of ArdaXi?
 
@Arda meh
 
2 messages moved to oblivion
 
who is this ho that you're upvoting?
 
> Yay. Sufficient amount of downvotes. Upvotes ho!
I think I saw somebody say this, but I really can't pinpoint who did.
 
9:28 PM
@badp who is this ho that you're upvoting?
 
@ArdaXi some teenager that is really obsessed with reps.
 
Oh. Who?
 
like, he can't get enough and needs to beg for it.
@Mana obviously.
 
Is it possible he's actually begging for a gold badge?
Hey, my answer beat the shit out of @mana's. Yay.
 
@ArdaXi Now, that'd be wanting the moon.
 
9:29 PM

A: Giving resources directly to other citizens in Die2Nite

Arda XiYes. You can visit their home and choose to leave them a message. You can then attach objects to a message and leave it in their home. If they are not at home, you can also 'discreetly donate an object' which means they don't know you gave it to them.

Pwned.
 
suddenly your age shows. Nub.
 
You're only what, 2 years older.
Sure, you're old, but not that much older.
 
Aw snap.
 
@ArdaXi Older enough still.
 
9:31 PM
@badp Not old(er?) enough for elitism.
 
@Arda there was some irony intended by adding nub on to that
 
@Mana I like... totally ignored that, to like fit in your crappy stereotype.
 
oh
so you did
actually I can't drink yet
19's the age here
 
HA!
16 is the age here.
Legally, I am more mature than you.
 
well
 
9:32 PM
I've been to places in the carribean where the drinking age is defined by whether or not you can lift the glass.
 
@badp lives in such a place.
 
@GnomeSlice I've been in places (= the UK) where you can't sit down in a bar if you, or people with you, are not of drinking age.
 
@GnomeSlice Were the glasses at least bavarian style Maßkrüge?
 
Like, um, parents with child.
 
In Italy, the drinking age is like 3.
 
9:33 PM
@Fabian I wouldn't know, I don't drink.
 
@ArdaXi 16. Higher than the age of consent IIRC.
We got our priorities straight, yo.
 
Then... how did I get alcohol so easily last year...
 
I think I'm gonna just stick with my current avatar. It's Gnomishness completes me.
 
@GnomeSlice Into those fits 1 liter of beer, so they're quite heavy ;-)
 
@ArdaXi It's probably not well enforced.
 
9:35 PM
@badp I thought only certain places like Milan had those enforced.
Dutch law is kinda crappy though.
16 (under 15% ABV), 18 (15% ABV and over)
 
@ArdaXi Law application may vary on geographical areas.
 
@ArdaXi It's pretty much the same in Germany
 
In Germany, it's 18+ for distilled beverages.
 
Here in Sweden you can't even get regular beer from the supermarket.
 
@oKtosiTe Except under 2.25%
 
9:37 PM
That's hardly regular.
 
It's something like 16 for wine and beer and 18 for everything else, but I don't remember the details anymore, it's a while ago that I had to worry about that.
 
UK law is really weird.
 
@oKtosiTe I don't think you can here in Canada either.
 
> Children under 5 must not be given alcohol unless under medical supervision or in an emergency
 
@ArdaXi Emergency?
 
9:38 PM
What the hell kind of emergency merits giving a child under 5 alcohol?
 
Severe stress?
 
Not sure if that's a good idea.
 
methanol poisoning
 
A hard day at the plant?
 
lol
 
9:41 PM
So, how did we get on the topic of drinking age even?
 
My bad.
Oh no, I remember.
 
Something about elitism?
 
@Arda's and @Mana's bad.
 
Oh, right, the fact that I was better than @Mana.
 
:(
 
9:43 PM
Also @Mana is old.
 
@Mana: look at the bright side: was
 
@Arda Are* better
 
I are better at grammar than @Gnome.
 
@GnomeSlice I think that is doubleplusungood.
 
Whoops.
I lost track of the context.
 
9:44 PM
so do those guys on Twitter.
 
Which guys?
 
No they don't.
 
What context?
 
Grammatical context.
For instance:
@GnomeSlice i kno its theyre not their but it's cos the other is trendinq bruh
 
9:46 PM
@GnomeSlice That's why I do not have... that... mentioning me.
 
Some games just can never be really beaten.
 
....1 frame improvement?
 
1 frame improvement. Wow.
 
How does someone even do that.
 
@GnomeSlice Given the game, it's impressive.
 
9:48 PM
@Gnome tool-assisted
 
I'll sure say it is.
 
This is worse.
My entire childhood in 5 minutes.
 
I don't want to spoil it.
 
@GnomeSlice It's not yours to spoil.
 
@GnomeSlice Spoil Super Mario 64?
 
9:52 PM
I don't want to spoil my childhood.
By watching that.
 
What the...
How did I just...
I just got access to admin tools somehow.
 
With great power, comes great responsibility.
 
Site or chat?
 
Chat.
 
Please say site.
damn.
 
9:54 PM
Err...
It showed me a gnome's ass.
 
:(
 
@ArdaXi Welcome to the flag reviewing system.
 
I just burst out laughing.
 
@badp I realised that. Let me feel special.
 
@ArdaXi That would be from the avatar discussion room.
 
9:57 PM
It's still weird though.
How it just popped up like that.
 
in The Tavern (General) on Meta Stack Overflow Chat, 4 mins ago, by Michael Mrozek
It occurs to me that I should probably not review offensive-flagged things while at work
possibly related?
 
Haha, that's a great post.
 
The not so funny bit is that if it is flagged enough you get suspended.
(30 minutes)
 
so I may be in trouble for that picture I posted?
 
naw, don't worry. It's fine, I don't think anybody flagged it.
 
10:09 PM
@FOak the internet police are on their way to your location. Sit, tuck your head between your legs and wait for their arrival.

A: What should I know when playing WoW for the first time?

John Master LeeI actually recommend playing for 1 month, and forking over a few bucks to do it. You'll get a good feel for the game, and actually walk away enjoying the best parts of it, before it starts to feel a like a lot of work to play. One of the annoyances with playing an open ended MMORPG is the grindin...

I don't play WoW, so does anyone know why this got a downvote?
 
@Mana looks like it includes a number of pieces of fairly bad advice
 
Oh.
 
i.e.:
> Don't loot most things. Inventory management is a waste of time. Just get the good items (ie. Green or blue colored icons, which indicate it's better loot.) As a general rule of thumb, never pick up any item that where the header is grayed out, because it's worthless. There's a lot of this stuff...
That grey stuffs purpose is for it to be sold to a vendor. It's free money.
And it's money which you don't even need to interact with other players to get.
Which directly contradicts his other piece of advice, 'don't use the auction house' - that fancy blue and green stuff is worthless unless you use the AH to sell it.
 
So...should someone post a comment noting why this is bad advice?
 
Also, encouraging people to ask for handouts of gold is just a bad idea. It's something of a massive social faux pas in the community and will basically make you a pariah
Yeah, I will... when I get back from dinner
 
10:57 PM
Alright mate, thanks.
 
"Get money fast." "don't pick up grey stuff." I love it.

BuddaUsually, due to my wretched management (or some time due to mass OC strategy) I have a lot of unused minerals. I understand that one of my primarily goals is "to keep money low". But sometime during team games I would better pass 1-2 thousands to my teammates (that seems like are better in game)...
