Oh dear, 28 flags.

Grace Note

@Mana I also ran some more tests, I'll be fixing up your Sealed Door question later with some screenshots.

Mana ಠдಠ

geez, that eyebat boss felt like I was in a shooting game

Grace Note

On that note, wow, the final boss is a lot harder in the English version than in the original. They went all out.

Mana ಠдಠ

except I have a sword instead of a gun

@Grace Thanks!

Grace Note

@Manaಠдಠ Ah, finally made it to the next dungeon?

8:01 PM

Yes. Day 10...one day later than I had hoped :(

oh, here he is

@ThomasMcDonald you don't need my explicit approval to use the MIT license; do you need something else?

user30

I'm taking SO Live and integrating it with a suite of scripts I'm halfway through writing.

user30

@badp Goodwill?

badp

That's great; it's the whole point I chose a FOSS license :)

Go ahead and sorry in advance for my poor JS

user30

8:06 PM

It's not that bad. :)

Ronan Forman

Oh hey fortune cookies!

user30

To be honest this will probably end up as a chrome extension if it keeps increasing in scope

Ronan Forman

What's it say? "@Arda will make a terrible mod"

Mana ಠдಠ

So apparently there are level 50 gray slimes in Recettear. Clearly this game is longer than Chantelise.

Arda Xi

@ThomasMcDonald I can see a lot of advantages for a Chrome extension, like notifications.

Mana ಠдಠ

8:08 PM

@GraceNote That final boss is complete bananas maaaaaaan. I had to put three charms on just to stand a chance.

user30

@ArdaXi Yah, and the ability to share data across domains, and make use of a background process.

user30

Although I don't see why Chrome doesn't just use Growl for notifications on OS X

Arda Xi

"Oh! I was sure that you were already a moderator. Good luck!" Well that's an interesting kind of endorsement.

So, right now, two people are going to be eliminated by voting.

badp

THERE CAN BE ONLY TEEEEEN.

Arda Xi

@badp Two.

Q: Why ESRB doesn't rate the online gaming?

Take a game like GTA IV'. Why don't they give the same rating for playing on-line? The on-line play is violent as the off-line play. I could understand a lower rating if you can't visit prostitutes and nude dancers in on-line mode. (I don't know if these "features" are accessible on-line.) Take...

Ronan Forman

The rest of the cookies are the usual BS, but this one is oddly accurate...

user30

So that means tonights reading will be on Chrome extensions

Arda Xi

@ThomasMcDonald If you have any questions, I've authored a reasonably popular one.

Powerlord

@badp You mean... it's possible to write non-poor JS? :P

Arda Xi

8:23 PM

@Powerlord Easier than writing non-poor C# in my opinion.

user30

@ArdaXi I think I just need to read up on the principles

user30

Do background processes work pretty much like Web Workers?

badp

@Powerlord It's possible to write idiomatic JS

Arda Xi

@ThomasMcDonald They're just pages that are always on, they communicate with pages using messages.

Oh, @ThomasMcDonald, do you have a Chrome Store account?

user30

So similar to Web Workers then

user30

8:26 PM

@ArdaXi Not yet, gonna sort it out when it's done

Arda Xi

@ThomasMcDonald It costs $5 these days.

badp

$25 once or $25 every x days?

Arda Xi

Once.

Was confused with Android.

user30

Yeah, saw it yesterday

Arda Xi

Which I couldn't have possibly paid, so I'm glad my account was free.

A: When is the weekly drop count reset in Team Fortress 2?

There are two caps, 1 each week and 1 each day. I cannot say for sure, but the best guess would be friday morning.

Is this legal?

user30

It's just a modification

Wipqozn

@badp so, he's guessing, even though there is already an answer which cites an official source?

Arda Xi

@ThomasMcDonald It isn't the files included with the English version?

user30

@Arda umm

badp

8:31 PM

@Wipqozn while the TF2 wiki is official, it's player contributed.

Arda Xi

Because that would be illegal.

And that's what this seems like to me.

Especially because it has (Electronic Arts) in the filename.

Powerlord

Come on Valve, add the second Misc slot already.

badp

Deleted account, no upvotes, isohunt link... I don't really care about this answer. Raise of hands for a delete?

Powerlord

Make it so I can wear Pip Boy and Teddy Roosebelt at the same time. :|

Arda Xi

I voted.

badp

8:33 PM

@ArdaXi You flagged, that's different.

Arda Xi

That's a vote.

Powerlord

@badp Vote'd!

badp

Nope. That answer still needs 3 delete votes to be user deleted

Powerlord

Oh wait, we can vote to delete answers?

Arda Xi

@badp You were asking for a raise of hands.

@Powerlord If you've 20k rep.

Ronan Forman

Does the link go to the right place?

badp

and the answer is downvoted.

Powerlord

@ArdaXi Is this new? I don't recall seeing the option before on SO.

Arda Xi

@Powerlord Yes.

badp

@Powerlord Nope. Trusted user stuff. Been around for a while.

Arda Xi

@badp Trusted user is rather new.

"Voting to delete answers with score of -1 or lower" which probably explains why I haven't seen it.

flag weight 537.2867

What?

badp

That.

Flag weight growth is sublinear above 500

Arda Xi

Yes, but why does it show with 7 significant digits?

badp

@ArdaXi Beats me.

Also. Later

Fabian

@ArdaXi Hover over the flag weight to see even more useless digits ;-)

Powerlord

What's the url to a person's TF2 inventory on steamcommunity?

Arda Xi

Looks like Deus Ex is definitely going to be the promotion game.

@Powerlord /inventory.

Eg. http://steamcommunity.com/id/arienh4/inventory.

Ronan Forman

That doesn't work. The link.

Arda Xi

I invalidated it shortly after posting it.

Q: Can you change a hero's save slot?

I'm moving saved games from one system to another. I've created heroes on both systems and as a result, have two saves named "Hero 1" (one on the hard drive, the other currently on a memory stick). I was able to move the non-conflicting saves over just fine. Can I change the save slot somehow?...

xbox-360 fable-3

Arda Xi

@RonanForman Because I dislike the username arienh4.

user30

steam community inventory viewer is the worst inventory viewer

Powerlord

@ThomasMcDonald So I've noticed.

As someone who has arranged their inventory just how they like it, I really dislike the new Steam one.

Speaking of which, I need to clean out my inventory.

Or more accurately turn it into metal.

user30

It's organised by item date, which is bizarre

Arda Xi

9:00 PM

@Powerlord Hmm, anything I might be interested in?

Or, erm, do you have the things you're gonna smelt in a specific region of your backpack?

user30

I need to acquire a Vintage Fan o'War

Arda Xi

Time to finish off the last Doctor Who I downloaded.

Powerlord

9:30 PM

@ArdaXi I used to, but I have so many item drops since I last smelted, that it overran its normal 2 page bounds.

Besides, I don't smelt new items or items that I have only 1 extra of (for the invariable next update that adds more items)

Still, I have like a page and a half of items for smelting (pages 1 and 2).

That's after smelting... er... was it 2 refined or 3?

Arda Xi

Hmm, quite a few I'm missing actually.

Especially the Overdose.

user30

I've got a few of those, I'll send you one later

Arda Xi

10:01 PM

@ThomasMcDonald Awesome, anything you want in return?

FallenAngelEyes

Evening all

Powerlord

@FallenAngelEyes Isn't it like midnight there?

Arda Xi

@Powerlord It is.

FallenAngelEyes

Oh cool @KevinY nominated

Ceville is only $3.39 on Steam this weekend.

It's a pretty good point and click adventure game.

user30

@ArdaXi Nah, you can have it

Arda Xi

@ThomasMcDonald Awesome. :D

Powerlord

I find it odd that Steam is advertising Edge as being "by the makers of Toki Tori" considering it uses graphics from their other game, RUSH.

Arda Xi

@Powerlord Toki Tori is more popular I think.

user20683

10:14 PM

EDGE is hard

user20683

It's basically Marble Madness + RUSH

user20683

less 3D crazy weirdness and more twitchy edge handling

no argument there

it's the same brand of fun as Super Meat Boy

Arda Xi

This is the game I was reminded of when I saw RUSH.

I'll wait for it to go on sale though.

also a period

user20683

Actually, four.

Arda Xi

Exactly.

Ah, you're in America. That explains that.

My brain is just powering down.

user20683

I can see EDGE being way easier with a touchscreen

Powerlord

10:44 PM

People are actually asking for 2 Refined for a Strange Minigun? WTF?

Also, thwacks Valve. Thanks for making the crates available for different numbers of weeks.

Which artificially raises the value of Strange Soldier, Heavy, and Demoman items and lowers the value of Strange Scout, Spy, and Pyro items.

user20683

I've not played Team Fortress in forever

Powerlord

While I'm at it, thwacks tf2tp's developers. Add the Strange rarity already.
