@RonanForman ‽

I feel like someone is encroaching on my turf.

@RonanForman You made a @mana / @ArdaXi hybrid‽

Arda Xi

No, @Mana stole my suit.

Ronan Forman

@RavenDreamer Yarp

Raven Dreamer

@ArdaXi Face it. You are now half troll.

Arda Xi

I've always been fully troll.

Wipqozn

@RavenDreamer I made that joke ages ago! Way to steal my material Raven! sulks in a corner

Ronan Forman

@ArdaXi We're your nightmares? Why are you here then?

@Wipqozn Clever girl.

Arda Xi

5:32 PM

@RonanForman You've got no idea just how dangerous the world is when you're around.

Wipqozn

@RonanForman Thank you. I've always thought of myself as the most clever little girl around.

Ronan Forman

@Wipqozn Not most clever, just above average,

Wipqozn

@RonanForman good enough I suppose

Ronan Forman

@Wipqozn Although you are the most clever girl that's round.

Fatty.

@ArdaXi Strange, I wonder why people don't follow me! (don't answer that.)

Arda Xi

5:37 PM

@RonanForman Well...

Dave McClelland

I think @RonanForman means that we should all report his twitter account for abuse

Wipqozn

@DaveMcClelland Agreed.

bwarner

@Badp Shouldn't that be "pertain to his interests" in the room description?

badp

room topic changed to The Bridge: of Gaming's StackExchange™ AlienOverlord AskQuestion™ mothership, wherein any attempt to play or discuss unapproved games will result in termination by lazer, which disrupts our lazers' charging and lets GnomeSlice read things that pertain to his interests. And you wouldn't want that, right? [wipqozn-gravitation-law]

@RonanForman thank you

Arda Xi

@RonanForman How is he supposed to respawn without his xbox?

Dave McClelland

@Wipqozn You just had to combo break me, didn't you? :(

Ronan Forman

@ArdaXi Play games on a PC like a real gamer?

Arda Xi

@RonanForman Are you inferring I am a console gamer?

Wipqozn

@DaveMcClelland I did.

bwarner

5:41 PM

Woohoo, let the platform flame war begin!

badp

Ronan Forman

@ArdaXi No, just that he is.

@ArdaXi Besides I'd be implying.

@ArdaXi Curse you!

Arda Xi

@RonanForman See, that's where you're wrong.

I was asking whether you inferred from my original statement that I am a console gamer.

Ronan Forman

@ArdaXi I inferred that he was. As you didn't actually say it.

HA!

badp

oh look. An arcade room.

Arda Xi

5:43 PM

@RonanForman I inferred that he was.

I was asking whether you inferred that I was.

Wipqozn

@bwarner Super Nintendo. War over.

bwarner

Bah, grammar flame wars are much less interesting than console flame wars.

Ronan Forman

@ArdaXi And I said no.

badp

GIMME KEY

Arda Xi

Okay.

@RonanForman So he is inferring that I am a console gamer?

badp

5:44 PM

NOT BOMB. KEY

Ronan Forman

@ArdaXi No, stop asking that!

badp

KEY. Finally

Wipqozn

@RonanForman Holy crap, it's @ArdaXi

badp

I think the unicorn is better though.

Arda Xi

@RonanForman How do you know what he infers?

For those of you who use Facebook, this is quite impressively done.

Ronan Forman

5:47 PM

@ArdaXi He can't infer if he's the one who is talking!

Arda Xi

@RonanForman Err, of course he can.

I can infer from your appearance how wealthy you are, for example.

Ronan Forman

@ArdaXi Surely he'd imply rather than inferring.

Q: Identify flash adventure/puzzle game

I played this flash game years ago. Top down view An adventure/puzzle game Each part of the world is on one screen, moving to edge of screen moves to new part of the world (no scrolling) Objective was to collect a number (20?) of identical items Collecting each item would open up/change part of...

Arda Xi

@RonanForman Linking to this video I wonder whether you really think I'm like that.

Ronan Forman

No, just because you said this.

Wipqozn

5:54 PM

@ArdaXi I think you are. This is intended as a compliment of course.

Arda Xi

You were supposed to call me out on a dangling participle.

Wipqozn

@ArdaXi I don't want you to shoot yourself though.

Ronan Forman

@ArdaXi But we're not the grammar nazis, you are!

Arda Xi

@Wipqozn Aww, that's so sweet.

I'm just trying to trip up amateur grammar nazis.

I'm a grammar anti-nazi.

Ronan Forman

@ArdaXi Surely that means you only use bad grammar.

Arda Xi

5:56 PM

No, it does not.

I use seemingly bad grammar.

Ronan Forman

@GnomeSlice That's like saying: He's a scientific fact. What do people from a non-scientific background with no evidence think?

Because their opinion matters.

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman I agree, The Onion really needs to get their facts straight.

Ronan Forman

@GnomeSlice I know, and it's parodying news shows and such that do what I said.

Found it!

Graphing programs make maths homework so much easier.

Arda Xi

@RonanForman Get Mathematica. Failing that, use WA.

Ronan Forman

6:26 PM

@ArdaXi I'm just using this web app.

Arda Xi

Mathematica is so much better.

Ronan Forman

@ArdaXi But also costs.

Arda Xi

Wolfram|Alpha is free.

And don't tell me you paid for that copy of Photoshop.

Ronan Forman

@ArdaXi No, but I didn't have a decent alternative.

Arda Xi

After you've used Mathematica for a bit, you'll see you don't have a decent alternative for that either.

It's like Photoshop vs. Paint.

Ronan Forman

6:28 PM

And besides, adobe don't mind unless you're a business.

GnomeSlice

Arda Xi

@RonanForman Adobe does mind.

Anyway, Wolfram|Alpha is free. Go use it.

GnomeSlice

Facebook page profile image?

Arda Xi

Naw.

Ronan Forman

@ArdaXi then why are there hundreds of torrents?

@ArdaXi Add the lines.

Arda Xi

6:30 PM

@RonanForman Do I even need to dignify that with a response?

Ronan Forman

@ArdaXi There are no other programs with that many, therefore, they're not stopping people.

Arda Xi

@RonanForman What.

You're... that's...

If they weren't stopping piracy, you wouldn't need cracks, genius.

Ronan Forman

@ArdaXi They need to make it at least illegal, or they wouldn't make money from the people who have to buy it.

GnomeSlice

How's this?

Ronan Forman

@GnomeSlice Get rid of the super collider.

GnomeSlice

6:35 PM

@RonanForman What if I just get rid of the arrow? I like having the SE name in there.

Ronan Forman

@GnomeSlice Just make it not the top left corner of the page.

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman I think it balances it out.

Blargh, I haven't used Photoshop in a while.

Ronan Forman

Why @GnomeSlice WHY!

badp

@RonanForman It's pretty damn sweet.

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman How do I do glowing edges, again?

Ronan Forman

6:41 PM

@GnomeSlice What's with the squares?

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman Yeah, I don't know.

I'm not keeping them.

badp

You can even see it struggle with rather nonssensical stuff such as "\theta > r"

Ronan Forman

@GnomeSlice Select the heart, new layer under it, expand by 20, feather by 20, ctrl+del.

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman Oh, I know that, is that the only way?

Maybe I'm thinking of text.

Ronan Forman

@GnomeSlice That's how I do it.

GnomeSlice

6:45 PM

Wow, I really am out of photoshop practice...

Where's feather?

x_x

Ronan Forman

You could try using a blur,

@GnomeSlice ctrl+shift+d

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman Nope.

Which version of photoshop do you use?

Ronan Forman

Maybe I changed the shortcuts.

Select>(transform?)>feather

GnomeSlice

Dergh, greyed out.

Wait, I could just use a gaussian blur.

Arda Xi

@GnomeSlice You're a gaussian blur!

badp

6:48 PM

uh

GnomeSlice

@ArdaXi That only works if the first person says _ is _.

Arda Xi

@GnomeSlice You only work if the first person says is.

Ronan Forman

@GnomeSlice That's one odd whale.

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman ?

Ronan Forman

s_. <-- weird.

Arda Xi

6:49 PM

@badp What's wrong with that?

Ronan Forman

@GnomeSlice Looks good.

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman Oh.

Arda Xi

@RonanForman Did you ever beat any of my Portal 2 times?

GnomeSlice

I really need to brush up on my photoshop skills though.

Ronan Forman

@badp They added more digits, and...

GnomeSlice

6:50 PM

@RonanForman Hang on, should I also try to get the word 'gaming' in there?

Ronan Forman

Not for the logo.

GnomeSlice

I could put it under the heart, or something.

facebook, y u wreck quality even though you're SHRINKING the image?

Ronan Forman

Manually shrink it.

GnomeSlice

Oh, is that the url?

Facebook must make it into a jpg.

@RonanForman No idea what size that is.

Hang on.

Ronan Forman

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman Yep.

It looks a lot better now.

Gah, facebook. y u so stoopid.

Ronan Forman

@GnomeSlice Didn't update?

GnomeSlice

6:57 PM

@RonanForman No, just the fact that I had to manually resize it.

Ronan Forman

@GnomeSlice Doesm't look that much better..

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman There are no artifacts now, and the lines in the background are uniform

user30

So that would explain where all the VC money is going

GnomeSlice

The text is blurry because I zoomed in my browser to get it.

Meh.

user30

as Stack Exchange now owns the domain s.tk

Ronan Forman

6:59 PM

@GnomeSlice I see artifacts.

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman Well, 'less noticeable' artifacts.

It's facebook, image quality going to shit is pretty much a given.

Maybe I should try saving it as a jpg first, because their conversion sucks.

Arda Xi

Yay. I am faster than everyone.

Time to beat @RonanForman on a few maps I haven't set a time for yet.

GnomeSlice

@ArdaXi SSBSBHSD?

Arda Xi

What? No.

GnomeSlice

@Ronan, yeah, converting it myself made it look worse. So obviously they re-convert it even if it's already a .jpg.

Ronan Forman

7:04 PM

@GnomeSlice That's just stupid.

Arda Xi

You're just stupid.

GnomeSlice

Eh... this is good enough

Ronan Forman

@ArdaXi You're just repetitive.

I'm just repetitive

GnomeSlice

Ronan Forman

Damn too fast!
I'm too fast.

Arda Xi

7:06 PM

@RonanForman That's cheating.

Yeah. I mean, I look so much like my gravatar. But Gnomeslice? Geez.

GnomeSlice

@ArdaXi I'm good at hiding it.

@ArdaXi I'm actually undernourished, sleep deprived, underweight, etc.

Also, I hope you're not coming on to me.

Arda Xi

I look nothing like my Gravatar.

GnomeSlice

Well, I do technically wear glasses.

Mana

@GnomeSlice It was a sarcastic Portal reference.

Arda Xi

I don't.

GnomeSlice

7:10 PM

I just never wear them because I can get by without them.

Arda Xi

@Mana It was.

Ronan Forman

@ArdaXi I wish I looked like my gravatar.

Arda Xi

Don't.

Ronan Forman

@ArdaXi You look nothing like your...... stares

Arda Xi

GnomeSlice

7:13 PM

@ArdaXi 'stares', not 'stairs'.

Arda Xi

GnomeSlice

@ArdaXi So?

Arda Xi

GnomeSlice

Q: How to jump onto all authority drones?

Around the RAGE world map I found various authority drones. It seems that jump onto them with my car triggers some message and I imagine that there is a price if I get them all. Unfortunately there are some drones that I was not able to reach. Maybe it depends on car or maybe I choose wrong jump...
