Hey @Mana, you about?
 
user30
@Mana Yeah, Wolf Gang were pretty sweet, only caught the end of their set though
 
11:21 AM
2.5k question views and 1 upvote for the answer. Super User, I am disappoint
In other news
I'm saddened to see an accepted answer with 2 votes and 19 "likes" :)
 
@badp 10kers? Do you mean 1kers?
 
I... I just caught a penguin while fishing in a water fountain.
 
11:36 AM
@FallenAngelEyes what the?
where do you live that you have penguins living in water fountains?
 
In Chantelise
 
chantelise? Never heard of that place before. Is that what the named they game after?
 
>_> I meant in the game, not that I'm living in there XD
I opened up the fishing minigame
which means I'm probably never going to beat it >>
 
you're living in the game? what?

Q: TF2 - Accuracy Improvement?

NottinylilIf I play a class, such as scout, I have had many times I am RIGHT NEXT TO the medic, at point blank, but I miss completly and die. Times like this I feel I am not credit to team, So simply put, How can I improve my Accuracy?

 
11:42 AM
(psst, I'm just messing with you)
How far into the game are you?
 
As far as I know, there's 5 dungeons and I'm done with 3 of them.
 
The Origin BS?
 
Yeah
 
Yeah...
"Steam is restrictive!" ...right
 
11:49 AM
Their is nothing wrong with EA wanting to promote their own DL service, but stop with all the BS.
 
@Wipqozn I thought that list was 10kers only
 
Just come out and say that since you're trying to promote your own service, you don't see the business sense and selling battlefield 3 on your largest competitor.
 
Well, one more reason to give a bump to useful answers that didn't get many upvotes.
@FallenAngelEyes Duh, it doesn't allow them to screw their customers however they want
 
@Wipqozn Exactly. They're not fooling anyone with their marketingspeak and they're just alienating the userbase even more with the BS.
 
@Wipqozn That's perfectly fine. Just stop with these lying BS trying to ruin Steam, it just makes you look like a child taking a tantrum because your mother won't buy you that new toy.
@badp Nope. I'm quite certain you can see it starting at 1k.
 
11:52 AM
@Wipqozn I guess I got fooled because I reached that page navigating from the 10k tools.
 
I usually make a point to look at it myself, I always like to upvote posts by new users.
Assuming the posts are not terrible that is.
 
@badp What is this page ?
 
Review pages
 
Yeah, but review of what?
seems not to be late/low quality/first tab
 
Reviews of posts.
it's mostly to help new users, both to improve their posts and to ensure they get upvotes when it's deserved. Although as you can see it's also to help when someone makes an answer to an old question.
So it ensures no one gets overlooked.
 
11:57 AM
@badp How do you navigate to this from the main page?
 
@FallenAngelEyes There should be a review link at the top of the page. From there click on the 'feedback' tab.
At 10k reputation that link is replaced by 'tools', which features a 'review' tab
 
@FallenAngelEyes It's directly to the left of the chat/blog button.
 
Ah, got it, thanks.
 
When are you moving @badp?
 
don't have any feedback tab BTW
 
11:59 AM
@Wipqozn I'm "moving" on the 22nd.
@Mvy Does the page load for you, or do you get a 404?
 
Yes it loads

Q: How to block a person in Fiesta online?

ShikiI have found HOWTOs about how the system works, but not a single article how to actually block someone. (Not-helping guide)

Q: What is gold good for?

ChristopherI have a good supply of gold; however I do not know what to do with it all! Golden armour and tools wear out too fast to be useful, so what do I do with all my gold?

Q: Where are the Fiesta servers located?

ShikiThe login screen only shows the server list. No ping, no status, just population. I have found GoldICQ's list where they show WHERE are the servers located. I.E.: US, EU, DE, FR, etc. The said list on GoldICQ. (I am aware that GoldICQ's service is not completely legal, however their list is...

 
Well then you can use the link I posted. =)

Q: Make the New blog message disappear after reading it

Ivo FlipseWhile I'm very happy with the new blog link in the header (it does wonders for the traffic), I've heard several complaints regarding the red [new] tag. It's supposed to indicate there's a new blog post and it's only displayed 24 hours after posting, but after I've read the blog post the [new] ta...

↑ upvote, for pete's sake
 
@badp LOL!
 
@badp Yeah, I have a lot of friends who are preordering that.
 
12:09 PM
@FallenAngelEyes yes... but... limited quantities of digital products? wtf
 
@badp Yeah. I was going to finish writing that but then grace linked me to a similar question on SO.
 
@badp Yeah I don't get it either
 
@badp and EA wonders why no one uses origin.
 
So I reached 6-4 of Hammerfight
and for the first time I don't understand what I'm supposed to do
There's no victory meter at the top, like in all other levels, but just a timer in the bottom right corner.
And I'm defenseless against four ships with swords
There's just a purse with falling coins
and suddenly I win. Meh.
er... now my title is 'Gaush'
What does that even mean.
 
12:33 PM
Notch has been kidnapped:
@notch is now officially kidnapped. #bachelorparty
XD
 
6-5 is officially unfair
 
Notch is getting married?
 
Harmless hammer is harmless

A: How Can We Get More Players on Our Server?

plop19995.35.211.41 this is a server with loads of space to build on so i think everyone would enjoy it please check it out

@badp ^
 
it's gone
flagged
 
12:40 PM
Yeah four spam votes auto-delete
just wanted to draw @badps attention to the user more then anything
 
I flagged myself, and my spam/offensive flags are binding =)
 
oh excellent, you protected it.
 
And now the optional boss fight, 6-6.
 
or not,
Does community auto-protect any old question that's had an answer closed as spam?
 
Well there's 2 of them
 
12:53 PM
@Wipqozn Auto-protection is 3 deletions of answers from new users on a question.
 
@GraceNote Thank you
Surely you're a hero.
 
Who was it that asked about washing the GSE shirt?
 
Well, it wasn't me. So that should narrow down the list.
 
@KevinY Mine was just washed and it's fine, colours look the same to me.
 
Kevin Y asked
Hum, you already figured that out
 
1:03 PM
Google-fu :D
The one thing my generation's good for.
 
So Urban Dictionary also can't make heads or tails of what my rank of "Gaush" means
although I can't think of it being too flattering :P
 
@badp What language is it?
 
English, apparently?
 
Sounds almost like Gawrsh
 
Because I think it might mean something like gawsh, which is what teen girls use for the phrase OMG.
 
1:06 PM
@ArdaXi That's what I assumed.
 
1:27 PM
 
1:42 PM
There's another game that plays a lot better with a gamepad.
 
Not really. This is designed for mice.
@ArdaXi Then again I haven't tried.
ONETH DAY
I'm now BEY-GAUSH. :/
I'll say however that I love the way riches are shown in the main menu.
 
1:59 PM
Are the nominees allowed to vote? If so, are they allowed to vote for themselves?
 
@Wipqozn Yes and yes.
 
@badp thank you times 2
How much rep does someone need to vote, 100?
 
> In the election phase, 10 candidates advance to final community voting. Any community member with 150 reputation may vote in the election.
 
You need 300 reputation to nominate yourself, 150 to vote.
 
2:02 PM
> In the nomination phase, any community member in good standing with more than 300 reputation may nominate themselves to be a community moderator.
 
@GraceNote I don't see that on the page. Did you link the wrong page.. or am I blind?
 
Not sure what "good standing" means exactly; I guess it's something employees enforce
 
@Wipqozn You'll need to click through the phases and look at the right side.
 
or perhaps "not suspended"
 
Oh okay, seems silly. You think it would be on the front page.
@badp that's what I assumed it meant
 
2:03 PM
@Wipqozn It's not because the election haven't started
When they will, there will be a system message at the very least

Q: What does Steam backup?

JupotterWhen backing up game files trough Steam, does, it save the game directory as it is in the steamapps folder, including modified files, or does it only keep the original files? Specifically, I've installed Morrowind with some mods, and I would like to know if when doing a backup steam will keep th...

 
My apologies for my lack of clarity.
 
No worries.
 
I meant the rep to vote would be on the front page of the page @grace linked to
not the front page of gaming
 
You get a notice message like the "new badge" one when you can finally cast your vote
 
2:05 PM
Well thanks for the info @GraceNote and @badp
 
@badp It really does.
 
@badp We haven't really had any cause to do background checks on any nominees that I know of. I don't think anyone with a record has really nominated themselves on any site.
 
@GraceNote Any nominee who is in "bad standing" probably wouldn't get elected anyways.
 
@GraceNote A record? Really?
But yeah, those people would probably not have a very big chance of winning.
 
@ArdaXi Yeah, I mean, if Mana nominated that'd be the first one I'd know ♪
 
2:09 PM
And I didn't even qualify?
 
@ArdaXi You didn't have anything on record until March 26th
@Wipqozn Sans, for example, limited candidate pool.
 
@GraceNote True.
 
@GraceNote I didn't? Good. Good.
 
@GraceNote Is your 'good standing' across the entire network, or just the site the election is being hosted on?
 
@Wipqozn We'd probably look across the network. Again, this hasn't really been anything that I know that we've looked at.
 
2:12 PM
Well, if you have a history of being troublesome on a site, it sure doesn't help.
 
@badp yeah that's why I asked. Wouldn't make sense to have some troublemaker on one site be able to run for a mod. an another
 
Then again, it's a hand-made call
I guess we really shouldn't look too hard at that :)
 
Probably not. I'm just a curious fellow.
 
At what time do the nominations start anyway?
 
2:15 PM
So 8 PM UTC, or 9 PM CET.
 
4pm here.
 
That was some mad cache'ing I had going there, it seems.
 
Rather curious who is running.
I guess I'll find out in 5 hours.
 
Same. Last election, I saw nominees I'd never even seen on the site before.
 
Like that one kid... what was his name... Roman? Yeah, never knew that kid before.
 
2:17 PM
Oh look, its @mana. Quick, everyone stop talking about him.
 
humblebundle.com : war for the top contributor?
 
heh, Ronan's his name. I think he only really became active here after the moderator stuff. He's a cool guy though!
 
@Mvy I should swoop in and donate a whole bunch of money to make everyone else look greedy
@Manaಠдಠ I like Ronan.
Although I basically like everyone on this site.
 
oooh, now the search bar expands. At least on MSO.
 
Ja, he's nice.
 
2:19 PM
Except that @mana guy, he's a real mean fellow.
I hear he kicks puppies
 
:(...It's true. Who told you?
 
A little birdie told me. He was watching you when you did it.
 
That was before you kicked the birdie wasn't it?
 
I believe so yes.
 
That's impossible, I shot all the birds who saw it.
 
2:21 PM
And then you kicked the bird into my backyard. Bad idea.
 
Oh well, must have missed one.
 
It's okay, it happens.
 
Damn! It's an animal conspiracy.
 
We all make mistakes.
 
Hm, there's hardly anything I really want to change in my nomination.
 
2:22 PM
You should use that as your slogan when you run.
 
Oh, you're nominating?
 
@ArdaXi I thought you didn't qualify?
 
@Manaಠдಠ I don't think it's possible for me to be on friendly terms with ChrisF without knowing Ronan's name.
 
Or did I misunderstand the earlier conversation?
 
@Wipqozn Naw, I just have a record.
 
2:23 PM
Arda's got over 300 reputation, I don't see why he wouldn't qualify.
 
@GraceNote ^^^
 
14 mins ago, by Arda Xi
And I didn't even qualify?
that's why
I must have misunderstood what he meant
 
@Wipqozn That was qualifying for a background check.
 
oh okay
 
16 mins ago, by Grace Note
@badp We haven't really had any cause to do background checks on any nominees that I know of. I don't think anyone with a record has really nominated themselves on any site.
 
2:24 PM
like I said, I misunderstood :P
 
And I already did background checks on Arda and Mana so they're both clean anyway.
 
Yeah, the following conversation led me to believe otherwise.
 
@GraceNote How could you have...?
I must be better than I thought I suppose.
 
@ArdaXi Shocking, I know.
 
@Wipqozn Very.
 
2:25 PM
Well that's two people running. I assume powerlord is as well.
 
@ArdaXi Your "record" is about as condemning as Mana's.
 
> any community member in good standing with at least 300 reputation may nominate themselves
 
@GraceNote That's either very good news for me or very bad news for Mana.
 
@ArdaXi l o l I was thinking the same thing
 
What happened to their fancy edit mode?
And their diamond, at that rate.
 
2:28 PM
my word, brett white is a busy beaver.
 
Expired
 
Hey @GraceNote, the explanatory blurbs still talk about 3 moderators.
They do at least in the election page.
 
I'll report that, thanks
 
Also I expanded a bit on the election message, feel free to revert
It might be too large now.
 
@badp must...resist...urge...
@badp THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!! AHAAHAH
oh god, I need help.
 
2:30 PM
Verily.
Hm... watch Doctor Who or play game?
 
@ArdaXi Play game
@badp Looks good to me
 
user30
So in today's odd question of the day, how do I get this hair dye out of my hair?
 
@ArdaXi Doctor Who.
 
But... but...
 
2:30 PM
@ThomasMcDonald Chop off your hair.
 
@GraceNote or @Wipqozn?
 
@ArdaXi Actually which episode?
 
03x10 - Blink
 
@ArdaXi Game.
 
@ArdaXi BLINK
Excellent episode. Watch Blink.
 
2:32 PM
You can put input into a game and actually interact. Play game.
 
Oh dear.
@GraceNote Sounds like work.
 
@ArdaXi More like, sounds like fun!
 
@GraceNote Yes, but fun I have to work for.
 
user30
How about you do what you want to do
 
@ArdaXi You can PAUSE doctor who. That's interaction.
 
2:33 PM
Besides, when I use my gamepad as a remote it's almost like playing a game.
 
but you don't NEED to interact.
 
user30
Whilst I concern myself with removing green hair dye
 
If you watch TV, though, you're just wasting your muscles away. Like a couch demon.
@ThomasMcDonald What, you have grass hair?
 
@GraceNote I lol'd
We should call him father nature or something
 
user30
@GraceNote Not through my own doing
 
2:34 PM
The one reason green hair doesn't work nearly as well in real life as it does in artwork/cartoons is that in real life, it looks like you've got a lawn on your head.
 
@GraceNote And gaming is better? How?
 
user30
I woke up and some dickhead other drunken idiot had put it in my hair while I was asleep
 
@ArdaXi There is stuff that be doing in the does doing.
 
@ThomasMcDonald Moral of the story: Never sleep.
 
2:35 PM
@ThomasMcDonald That's terribly unfortunate. Also why you should sneak into another dormitory when sleeping.
 
@GraceNote Where did deer come into the picture?
 
user30
@GraceNote I was at a festival, and my tent was closed.
 
I know a kid from summer camp a few years back, the last night is always prank night on the guy's dorms, so he actually came over and slept in the girl's dorms to get some good (and safe) rest.
 
Hm, my nespresso machine just made a cup half the size of a regular espresso. This is really, really strong.
 
@ArdaXi If that machine isn't operated by a game controller, I will be very disappointed.
 
user30
2:38 PM
@ArdaXi I fail to see an issue
 
@GraceNote I know I'm just a student, but how much free time do you think I have?
 
@ThomasMcDonald I can't say I know anything other than time, or a lot of washing with potentially damaging chemicals, that will fix dyed hair.
 
@ThomasMcDonald I like it, it just takes a bit of getting used to.
 
If you're a blonde naturally, there's also bleach, but...
@ArdaXi It's an NESPresso machine!
 
@GraceNote That's... erm... wow.
 
2:39 PM
@GraceNote ▲1
 
As someone who's only heard of the NES through hearsay and folklore...
 
user30
@GraceNote hmph. Looks like it will be a trip to the hairdressers then.
 
@ThomasMcDonald They're usually very understanding.
 
lol
I love when a game ad has "most anticipated game of the year" and I've never heard of it before.
 
user image
4
Good idea or best idea?
 
2:44 PM
@Wipqozn Which game?
 
Most anticipated game of this year is probably Portal 2.
 
@FallenAngelEyes el shaddai
 
God Almighty?
 
@Wipqozn I'm really looking forward to that actually
The art style looks very interesting
EU version doesn't come out til way later than the US version though :(
 
@FallenAngelEyes Might give ita look see.
 
2:50 PM
@Wipqozn There's a demo for it on Xbox Live Marketplace
I don't know if PSN has a demo
 
I rarely pay attention to games anymore, or look forward to them. The games that get the most attention in today's market are the generic shooters and action games.
Neither of which interest me.
 
Yeah, I'm so done with manshooters
 
@Wipqozn That's why El Shaddai interests me, it looks so weird and the art style looks really cool
 
@FallenAngelEyes Yeah I'll take a look.
I skimmed through a video preview, looks like it might be a generic action game. I'll take a more detailed look later though.
I try not to let art styles grab my attention either. I liked the MAd World art style, but the game was terrible. It's fun for a level or two, and then it's just the same thing over and over.
 
@Wipqozn I wanted to like that game more than I did
 
2:54 PM
In short, I think everything is terrible and I'm a horrible cynical person.
 
the premise was fun, but it ended up "carry this guy around for 5 minutes looking for the most points"
 
@FallenAngelEyes yeah exactly
 
Kind of disrupted the "action" feel :|
 
Anyone have an opinion on From Dust?
I liked the demo on XBLA, but $15....
 
RPS has done some reviews
I want to play it on PC but Ubisoft DRM :(
I always like playing god games more with a pc
PC version's also delayed
 
2:57 PM
@Brant If you were on PC I would recommend it because it's a hat and a free game
 
@Manaಠдಠ I lol'd (due to the hat comment)
 
Free game?
Oh right.
 
@Manaಠдಠ I had something I either wanted to ask or tell you a couple hours ago and for the life of me I cannot remember what it is now >_<
