« first day (545 days earlier)      last day (4487 days later) » 

12:00 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Nope, have stated multiple times that I don't play WoW.
 
@Wipqozn Probably? The original DotA was just a Warcraft 3 map, recall.
 
@GraceNote what's "using-active-atom" doing
 
@NickT ugh, lisp. learned it in college and then drank heavily to forget it.
 
unrelated: What's the permalink to a specific suggested edit?
 
is it a function with all the delete-residue, aa-imol, aa-.... as arguments?
 
12:00 AM
@GraceNote ah yes, it was. I was thinking that DotA is the clone, but LoL is the clone.
 
Is it /review/suggested-edits/999?
 
@NickT My guess is that it's running some function that has 5 arguments
 
@FallenAngelEyes I know, I'm just teasing. Sheeping is a pretty common term in that community.
@Brant There should be a hyperlink button you can just copy it from on the suggested edit page.
 
The queue is empty right now, though.
 
I once had to do a 3-d tic tac toe AI in lisp
 
12:01 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Gotcha. Aion had a similar mechanic with the fear from one of the classes, but I don't think I ever heard sheep there.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Well, the thing is, in WoW, mages literally turn things into sheep.
The mage spell 'polymorph' turns the target into a sheep for a period of time, during which they cannot attack or control their movement.
 
@FallenAngelEyes In DotA, the reason you're running around aimlessly and harmlessly is because you've been turned into a sheep.
 
Okay, weird. I reloaded the page at 00:00 and some messages were missing.
 
it was damn fast. cause I was good at lisp. poor brain cells, we barely new ye
@GraceNote kind of reminds me of the sheep spell from warcraft 2
might be where that comes from
 
Fear was just a mechanical parallel. Other spells can turn you into all sorts of other critters, with the exact same effect mechanically. The Guinsoo's Scythe of Vyse is just fixed to Sheep (hence its nickname "Sheepstick")
 
12:03 AM
This sounds highly amusing
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I was more of a Polymorph: Pig person, myself.
 
@FallenAngelEyes never played WoW?
 
@Brant Penguin or GTFO.
 
That was after my time.
 
Turtle was better you noobs
I had it back when it dropped from the fishing boss in ZG
 
12:05 AM
We could never get the damn turtle spellbook to drop from ZG.
It did once, but another mage got it.
 
@GraceNote Fear is, at least in WoW, distinct in that fear causes the target to run around at full speed in random directions. Whereas polymorphed targets tend to just kind of amble about in a small area.
 
@NickT Outside of the open beta week before it released, no.
 
@NickT Turtle is also acceptable.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz In LoL, the mechanical behavior of Fear is pretty much the same as the effect of polymorph here - more of the ambling, less of the speed (as you're pretty chillin' for someone who's supposed to be afeared).
 
ffs, I do not get this function...it's like you call it with another function and it fills in the function with these random variable names that pop into existance inside of the other one
 
12:06 AM
Not to mention polymorph resets your health to full over a brief duration, so it's only effective at the front end of a battle.
 
@GraceNote Ah. (There are other, mechanical differences with respect to who is immune to what, etc. but the main difference is that feared targets run around like maniacs. Which makes it... troublesome as a CC in certain areas.)
 
More groups have wiped to a feared mob running off into a pack than you can possibly imagine.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Fear is one of the two most powerful non-situational CCs in LoL (alongside Taunt), but that's because the most common source has a duration of 3 seconds.
 
I thought suppress was the worst
 
@Brant The fear glyph ruined so much. :(
 
12:08 AM
or knockback/up
 
A couple of my new coworkers play HoN occasionally, so I don't understand any of their references to characters
 
I'm passable at LoL but I was totally lost in DotA2
 
@NickT Suppression is on ults so it's a bit less of a danger.
 
They were talking about Engineer and Scout at one point and I made rather a fool of myself by talking about my preference for Pyro.
 
couldn't control the camera for shit (hitting space brings you to the middle of the map?!)
 
12:09 AM
Both of the long-duration Fears and Taunts (from Fiddle and Rammus) are on very short cooldowns, which really compounds the issue.
 
Fiddle is CC king with slow, silence, and fear
 
crashes through this stuff
 
I've never tried Fiddle
missed the last time he was up for free
 
I'd see him in the jungle as lee sin and even if I had double his health, it would be a close fight
 
He'll probably be up again soon. He's not too uncommon on free rotations.
 
12:10 AM
I've started going through and making it a point to try everyone who's free that I haven't played before every week now
 
silence, life drain, fear, drain...
 
@Fredy31 You should crash through one of your crash through messages sometime.
 
Fiddle is sometimes a problem but I enjoyed a particular game where I could destroy the enemy Fiddle as Rammus.
 
Amumu did a lot more damage than I expected
 
crashing through my last crashing through message. CRASHCEPTION
 
12:11 AM
also Prestigious LeBlanc skin is on sale <3~ was happy to pick that up
 
rammus' taunt is so ridiculous, esp against melee AD carries
 
You know @RavenDreamer ever since your shark got a monocle, I think you have the best gravatar on all of Stack Exchange.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Mistletoe LaBlanc!
 
@RavenDreamer I wasn't willing to shell out 925RP for that sucker
 
you see yi, he alpha's in or something, then you just taunt and run to turret and the entire team just hammers him
 
12:11 AM
@NickT Hence why I find it a lot more powerful than suppressions and knock ups. Its duration is just devastating.
 
They said Legacy skins will be back on "special occasions" so I'll wait til next year
 
doesn't rammus taunt also slow?
 
@FallenAngelEyes Birthday gift! Fweee!
 
Suppressions main bonus (cleanse doesn't work) isn't as much an effect when so few people pack Cleanse.
 
@NickT Taunting slows, yes, like charm
 
12:12 AM
@NickT No, but his Powerball does.
@RavenDreamer Not that I've seen.
 
@GraceNote It slows for the duration of the taunt, which is, understandably, less interesting.
 
@RavenDreamer If the taunt slowed for the movement, I wouldn't nearly be able to make some of the ridiculous pulls that I've done.
 
Also tried out Viktor today
Maaaan the range on the laser
 
how's the lazer work?
 
Poking people while safely out of tower range is amusing
 
12:14 AM
is it like a slow-moving xerath Q?
 
At 3 seconds, you can taunt someone just outside tower range, over to right next to the tower, and still have enough duration left for them to get a hit (and thus tower aggro)
 
There's a radius around you that you can place it, then you point in the direction you want it to go
 
@NickT It's more like a slow nuke version of Rumble's ult
 
It's not that slow actually
 
ah
well "slow" relative to xerath's instant :P
 
12:15 AM
And to Rumble's "pretty yarn fast"
 
I don't remember Xerath's Q, I've only played him once
 
so it's like a colossus but you can direct it? :P
 
Is that his crazy minion clearing zap of doom?
 
yeah
 
Haven't played SC2 so unfortunately I can't confirm that one, @NickT
 
12:17 AM
@GraceNote Hm.
@NickT yes
 
Okay, dinner time
 
I think the Protect Button might be my favorite button.
 
@IanPugsley But but but I don't have a mic for the computer I play Terraria on...
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh? Protecting all your own questions? :P
Did you know the server fault people think we flag everything? Including extremely tame things?
in Server Fault : Vote to close, 7 hours ago, by voretaq7
@John May not be "moodyness", but anecdotally most of the flags I see come from The Bridge (and by the standards in The Comms Room most of them are tame or "WTF why flag it instead of discuss it?") Then again it could just be MY moodyness at having to look at a transcript to try and figure out context/offensiveness :-P
 
@John That's because we have people that abuse flags as a means of rhetorical retribution.

Q: Skyrim Very Long Load Times!

HarpalSo I was looking forward to wasting more of my life playing this game until the load times increased dramatically and the lag increased. The load time when the game is first loaded is around 2-3 minutes, when I die the load time is around 7 minutes and counting...I eventually get frustrated and ...

 
@John And no, I protect anything I see with two deleted 'not an answers' though.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I thought we put an end to that with the great NickT + GnomeSlice flagging badp debacle.
 
@John Ping me when you get back on. I'm gonna take a break.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Good idea.
@Tristan Ok
@Tristan I'm cooking so it's not wise for me to get caught up in it ATM.
 
lol, there is an "americanisms.py" file in my coot distro
 
12:29 AM
@John I know the feeling. I'm about to get something to eat, too.
 
# a whole set of amercanisms

# an americanism
# deftexi set_rotation_center
set_rotation_center =  set_rotation_centre
 
Hey all
 
@RedriderX Hello
 
Hello.
 
@NickT So this is to make sure America is the center of the world?
 
12:30 AM
yes
well, universe
 
@NickT wow
 
the world would be silly as it's just a sphere
 
Hmmph. I got a on my Meta bug report.
There's no denying it happened though. I gave a screenshot.
 
I don't know if I can handle school again right now.
 
@John I don't see any meta bugs by you
 
12:32 AM
@John Well that just means you're special.
 
or on MSO?
 
@NickT Other Meta.

Q: Why does this question appear twice in the hot list?

Bob CratchitAllow me to refer you to my freehand circles: I knew Jeff really does like us folks over at Gaming!

 
Oh, Steam servers suddenly work again.
 
Razer's Project Fiona in Action http://bit.ly/zUCEa3
Cool!
 
Woo! Just passed 1500 rep. =P
 
12:40 AM
@Tristan Yay!
Although really, your next milestone is 2k.
 
@John I know. But still... I'm happy.
 
@Tristan I know, and I'm helping you be happy.
 
lol
 
@John My god @john! Way to beat the kid up. He's all happy, and you're like "NO!"
I used to think you were a nice guy @John, but now I'm just not sure what to think anymore.
 
Clicks @Wipqozn's name -> Ignore this user (everywhere)
2
 
12:41 AM
@John stars
 
I lol'd
 
ah dang, I can't ignore myself!
 
@Tristan Wow, you like, participate in the community!
Wish I did that
 
Not that anyone cares.
 
@RedriderX Huh?
 
12:43 AM
@GnomeSlice slow clap Way to go @GnomeSlice, way to go.
 
@RedriderX I was talking about the link I posted.
 
@GnomeSlice Tristan was too busy stealing the spotlight.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Oh, neat, i read about this earlier, and was wondering what it would look like working. Now I know.
 
@Wipqozn I do that from time to time. It can't be helped.
 
@GnomeSlice No one knows anything about the links you post.
 
12:44 AM
@Tristan Well, I've been a member for like, three months and all I achieved is a badge for sulking around the chat room.
4
 
user15026
@Tristan Hurrah! confetti
 
@RedriderX that's all @GnomeSlice does, and he's at 4k.
 
@Tristan You actually went out and did stuff. I applaud you.
 
user15026
The idea that Kid Icarus will be lefty-friendly makes for a happy me. :D
 
12:45 AM
holy shit @GnomeSlice, I just noticed you're almost at 5k.
I thought you were closer to 4k.
 
@RedriderX lol Thanks. Although, I don't really know what "stuff" I did
 
@Wipqozn I've been a member for over a year.
I don't even know how much rep I have.
 
@GnomeSlice 4917
 
Neat.
 
user15026
I want one of these cases of my 3DS
 
@John I didn't know anything about it until I clicked the link, either.
 
@GnomeSlice I wish I could star that more than once.
 
@GnomeSlice No one's going to click a link solely on your word. Sorry.
 
You just got served @John!
@John I did, and so did @AshleyNunn.
My word @John, you're just ripping into people today! First, tristan, and now Gnome...
 
user15026
12:48 AM
@Wipqozn I did. I'm brave. ;)
 
My word. When will your reign of terror end!?!?!
 
I think I'm the longest consecutive member.
 
@AshleyNunn I was attracted by the NES cartridge.
 
@Wipqozn At least he's spelling our names correctly.
 
We talking about the Project Fiona link?
 
user15026
12:48 AM
@Wipqozn Good to know ;)
 
@GnomeSlice ...god dammit
 
547 Consecutive days!
 
@RavenDreamer Wow, you waste a lot of time on here.
 
@RavenDreamer Wow...
 
@RavenDreamer Is there a badge for 2 consecutive years?
 
12:50 AM
@Wipqozn Wow troll fail.
 
user15026
@RavenDreamer That is a lot of days.
 
@GnomeSlice No.
 
OKay, so @gnome has owned @John, and now myself. Who's next?
 
Logically, myself.
 
@GnomeSlice Do it!
 
12:50 AM
@GnomeSlice Most likely, yes. You do that a lot.
 
@Wipqozn People are upvoting me as we speak. ATM, I'm too important to care about you.
 
@RavenDreamer You said the magic word...
 
And then I saw it was a 21 minute video.
 
12:51 AM
Here are some free desktop goodies.
 
@Tristan Fail?
Or Terraria?
 
@John that's harsh man. I care about you regardless or whether of not I'm getting up votes.
 
@RavenDreamer Terraria
 
@RavenDreamer Are you the male, or the female?
 
@Wipqozn and @John, railing on each other, it is a thing to behold.
 
12:52 AM
@Wipqozn No you don't. You care about trolling. You only keep me around to troll! I'm just an object to you! Runs off sobbing
 
@Wipqozn That's.... kind of random.
 
@John You're just realizing this now?
 
I spend the vast majority of my time in this chatroom... Entirely confused.
 
@GnomeSlice No. I'm just now making a melodramatic big deal of it, though.
 
@John That's not true at all. I keep you around because you amuse me. Mind you that's usually because I'm trolling you... but still!
 
12:53 AM
@Wipqozn I hate you.
 
user15026
@Tristan Me too. We should form a club of confusion. And have tshirts. And cupcakes.
 
When there's nothing else to say, I can say that.
 
@Wipqozn ಠ_ರೃ
 
@AshleyNunn I'm a big fan of cupcakes... And t-shirts!
 
@AshleyNunn wait, cupcakes? there's cupcakes? I'm confused.
 
12:53 AM
@John I think it's your catchphrase.
 
@Tristan You get used to it....it a year or so it will feel normal.
 
In fact, I just ordered 3 new ones today.
 
user15026
@Tristan I knew it was the perfect plan!
 
@Tristan 3 new cupcakes!? :D
 
user15026
@agent86 You will fit in PERFECTLY. gives cupcake
 
12:54 AM
@Tristan cupcake hoarder.
@AshleyNunn WOOO CUPCAKES
 
@AshleyNunn I could make some Tshirt designs.
But I won't because I keep doing stuff like this for free.
 
@John Three new t-shirts... u_u
 
I feel accepted and validated now that I have cupcakes.
my life is complete.
 
user15026
@Tristan Cupcakes? Tshirts? Cupcakes on tshirts? Tshirts on cupcakes?
 
@Tristan But.....I like cupcakes.
 
12:55 AM
@John What was that website you said we could play chess on before?
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice What's wrong with free?
 
@Wipqozn Kongregate.com
 
BTW, @RavenDreamer you should totally play Terraria with us.
 
user15026
@agent86 Hurrah! :D
 
Was it just chess.com?
 
12:55 AM
@AshleyNunn I'm at the point where if I'm going to devote time to a project like that, I can't keep doing it for free.
 
@Wipqozn I think so. Keep in mind I haven't actually tried it before.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Fair point :D
 
I should totally brush up on my chess. If I lose to @Wipqozn, I'll never hear the end of it.
 
Oh lord, I need to make an account to do that.
 
12:56 AM
So, I realize talk of cupcakes has ended in the time it took me to find the picture... Buuuuuut...
 
Well, I think I've got enough of this crazy for one day, nite all.
 
@John I do as well. I've been playing my cousin,but he only just learned to play amonth or two ago, so he's not very good.
 
I suck at chess.
 
user15026
@Tristan The bottom ones look so sad :(
 
12:57 AM
@Wipqozn Yeah.... kinda need an account based thing to keep track of a game over a long period of time. I kinda don't think we'll finish a game quickly.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Chess is one of those thngs I want to understand until I remember it requires logic that I do not have.
 
@GnomeSlice I can practice on with you then! :D
 
user15026
Also, typing when you have burned every single fingertip on your right hand is rather unfun/
 
@AshleyNunn How the hell did you manage that?
 
@AshleyNunn It's worse when you burn the tip of your tongue.
 
12:58 AM
@AshleyNunn :(
 
...Not that I type with that.
 
@John For the record, if @gnome beat you at chess, I would never let you live it down.
 
I once got triple forked in chess. I feel like I've said that before.
 
@GnomeSlice Aw you beat me to it.
 
@agent86 You did.
 
12:58 AM
@Wipqozn lol yeah I bet.
 
@Wipqozn I'm not as stupid as I act. That said, I act pretty stupid.
 
user15026
@Tristan I misjusdged, grabbed the hot handle of my dutch oven instead of the knife that was beside it.
 
Dec 22 '11 at 21:56, by John
@agent86 You got triple forked?!?
 
Dec 22 '11 at 21:56, by agent86
I actually suck at chess. I tried playing a coworker once, and he said it was the only time he's ever seen someone get "triple forked." I don't know what it means, but it sounds like you'd have to pay extra to get it.
 
wow, weird reverse quoting there
 
12:59 AM
@AshleyNunn I wasn't aware dutch ovens could burn anything other than your nose...
 
I thought a dutch oven was a fart under the covers?
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice my fingers are much more useful than my tongue.
 
@GnomeSlice oh, when I seen the edit, I thought it was the handiwork of @badp.
 
@Wipqozn No, he's not allowed to do that.
 
user15026
@Tristan It's also a large ceramic pot thing.
