@GraceNote I was referring to the genre, yes.
 
I saw you link that game already. Twice.
 
I never get any confirmation from anyone. My mistake.
Also, the Oil Rush soundtrack is not what I was expecting at all.
It's great.
 
It's a fair assumption that "If you linked it, then Grace Note probably saw that you linked it" when it comes to your game videos. Especially ones you repeat while I'm around.
 
@GnomeSlice Need....good....in-browser....activity (read: game)...
 
Hey, I recognize this user from the Voxatron forums.
 
12:03 AM
@GraceNote But you're always around.
 
@John Pardon?
 
I don't catch them all (didn't see the one for Artilerry F until a few weeks ago, for example), but I eventually see them now and then.
 
@GnomeSlice I'm around 36 hours in this waiting room now. I can't really download anything, so I'm asking you for an in-browser game rec.
 
@John Knightfall 2, Chaos Faction, Raptor Safari, Gravitee, Gravitee 2, Captain Forever, Anything by Nitrome.
 
12:05 AM
Alright! Knightfall 2 and Elona Shooter are both loading in new tabs. Thanks guys!

Q: What's the Huntsman's headshot criteria?

ToomaiAs arrows are projectiles, they must use the (large unrotating unintuitive) physics hitbox instead of the bullet hitboxes. So how does the game know where the head is? Is it the same for all classes? How large is the headshot area?

 
Hey all.
 
@RedriderX Hello.
@RedriderX Hey, do you recognize this user?
Small internet.
 
@GnomeSlice Oh yes, I have Noxein a couple times before on Lexaloffle.
 
12:14 AM
Weird, huh?
 
@John waiting room... are you in the hospital?
 
@Wipqozn I assume for his father.
 
Whoa, looks like Google implementing a "one ring to rule them all" policy.
 
@RedriderX ?
 
@RedriderX ?
@GnomeSlice ?
 
12:16 AM
This is what I got when i signed in: google.com/intl/en/policies
 
@Wipqozn I'm not sure if he'd approve of me telling you about it, but since he appears to be otherwise occupied, his father's had a heart attack.
 
@GnomeSlice Oh wow.
@GnomeSlice Is his father okay now...?
 
@Wipqozn You know as much as I do. =[
 
@GnomeSlice Is ee
Well, @John, my best wishes to you and your family... I hope your father pulls through.
 
@Wipqozn Thanks.
@Wipqozn For now. Whether it'll last... :/
 
12:19 AM
There's a Dustforce giveaway happening over at Gamelitist: http://gamelitist.com/2012/01/gamelitist-giveaway-dustforce/
 
@Wipqozn Oooh thanks.
 
And Electric Box 2, if you want a great puzzle.
 
@GnomeSlice Also thanks. Although I'm not sure I'm going to get to all the ones you're suggesting. :P
 
12:22 AM
@John =[
 
@John I also support pretty much anything by Nitrome
And there are a lot now.
 
@RedriderX Yesssss.
@RedriderX Yeah, I haven't even played all of them any more.
 
@GnomeSlice Ugh I'm not sure I've ever actually finished one. They can get so hard.
 
Thanks, SWTOR.
 
Elona Shooter + trackpad = AAHHH
 
12:24 AM
Why can't you update the Launcher and game at the same time? Or update the game without me having to log in like WoW does?
 
But O how I relish them.
 
@RedriderX I've finished Erm... Both Skywires, All of the IceBreakers, Twang, Mutiny, Dirk Valentine, Headcase, Magneboy, erm... some others.
Twang and Ice Breaker were Brutal.
Also, Knuckleheads, I finished.
 
@GnomeSlice Yeah, I don't have that much time on the internet.
 
@RedriderX Me neither. :P
 
Hmm, Operation areas are now limited to 16 people. Was the limit 20 before?
 
12:26 AM
@GnomeSlice Have you tried the updated Lockhorn?
 
@RedriderX Haven't even gotten to Lockhorne yet.
 
freehand circles ftw

A: How do I use a work boat in Civilization 4?

agent86Work boats can only create improvements on tiles with special ocean resources. The water tile must contain clams, fish, crabs, whales, or oil. Furthermore, the tile must be in your territory. Additionally, in the case of oil, you'll need Plastics to construct an Offshore Platform, and in the ...

 
@GnomeSlice I do like how they have added multiplayer many of the recent games.
 
@GnomeSlice I think my favs of these were Dirk Valentine and the Skywires.
 
Oh, and Flipside.
 
12:27 AM
Great, now I feel like playing a Nitrome game.
 
And Pixel Pop.
 
O which one???
 
And Poly Roly. I was like #7 on the global leaderboards for quite a while on that one.
I think the most recent I've played is NITROME MUST DIE
 
@GnomeSlice Yeah I didn't really like that one as much. Really great polished interface for a flash game, but wasn't really into it.
 
Yeah. I also kind of made an ass of myself on their facebook page, because I'd heard on Youtube (Yes, I know) that Super Feed Me had been cancelled.
 
12:30 AM
@GnomeSlice Ohhh, I see.
 
So basically, I left comments on posts asking about it saying it had been cancelled.
And they were like 'Yo, don't do that'.

Q: How can I safely get closer to the black hole?

yx.In the Sapphire sector way at the top side, there is a black hole and right next to it is a jump field. However, my ship tends to blow up before getting there (that black hole might have something to do about that). So how can I safely enter the jump area?

Q: Lydia Completely Disappeared

RussellOk, so I have a serious Lydia issue. I gave her some unique weapons and that bitch up and disappeared. I was doing a quest in Irkngthand and it said my follower couldn't follow me. So whatever. I finished and she was gone. I've tried finding her or her damn body and have failed. 1) I was able ...

 
@GnomeSlice Did you cite your source?
 
@RedriderX No. Lol. I didn't even remember where it was.
I apologized, at least.
 
@GnomeSlice Well that's good.
Well, I couldn't decide on the Nitrome game, so I loaded 10 of them.
 
12:33 AM
@RedriderX I'm assuming you've seen the trailer for Super Feed Me?
I've also got the soundtracks for a bunch of the games.
It's ridiculous, the only uploads of the music on Youtube are all from one user, and he recorded them externally with his webcam.
Luckily most of them are on iTunes.
 
@GnomeSlice No actually. Don't have an IOS device, so didn't bother.
 
@RedriderX Ouuu, watch it.
 
@GnomeSlice Just did, actually.
Hasn't it been "coming soon" for a while?
 
@RedriderX Since 2010.
 
@GnomeSlice That's what I thought.
 
12:36 AM
Which is most of the reason why everyone harasses them about it constantly.
@RedriderX You should check out 'Knightfall 2', from Megadev.
One of my favourite flash games ever.
 
Shucks, I've been reading that Google Privacy policy. I know that I've been giving them a lot of stuff, and that I have tried to pull back some times, but it's still a little freaky to read it out right.
 
@GraceNote quora.com/…
I think the poster must have had the biggest trollface as he posted that
 
@badp Oh, Wow. snicker
 
@badp I don't get it. What am I looking for?
 
@GnomeSlice Read the link title.
 
12:40 AM
A list of questions that probably either are closed or should be
posted as "the most interesting SO questions"
 
Oh. Guess the question stati went over my head.
 
Well, gots to go. bye all.
@GnomeSlice Mine too, actually.
 
@badp Toss that in the Lounge
 
@badp This has like 1000 upvotes... what do you mean 'should be closed'?
 
@GnomeSlice What do I mean "probably"
 
12:45 AM
Well, that one isn't.
 
@badp It's mostly pointing at the top 10 by votes, as it were
 
Holy Moses, 2328 votes?
Are those all upvotes?
 
Turns out voting does not always equate with quality

Q: what is the name of this apple game from 1995-1997

RyanI played an Apple game in school sometime between 95-97 that was similar to Oregon trail, but instead you sailed to the Americas and traded with the natives. I believe one of the characters said "habana mi mi machinga" in one of the scenes. I also think you could fight other ships on the way, but...

Q: Add [spoilers] Tag to Questions When Answering

GnomeSliceWhen someone asks a question on Gaming, they may tag it as spoilers to warn other people off. However, what if the answer to a question contains spoilers? For example, This Question of my own (this may not be the best example, but it was easy to find). Upon receiving the answer, I retagged the...

Was this really such a terrible idea?
 
12:57 AM
yes
 
Why?
 
see answer
also - meta tag
 
@badp I'm not sure what '- meta tag' means.
 
@GnomeSlice You're encouraging a meta tag.

Q: Have we not been clear enough that meta-tags are a Bad Thing™?

StrixVariaWe have some users going around specifically adding meta-tags to questions. I cannot fathom why, honestly. I thought we were very clear on this point. But some people seem not to get it. They're writing tag wikis for Bad Tags™ and even specifically adding them to questions. Should we make a mor...

 
is a terrible meta tag and has been righteously murdered
 
12:59 AM
Oh, we got rid of that one?
 
@GnomeSlice Where have you been?
 
@John Suspended.
 
@John on Youtube! :P
 
Grace -ed it a long time ago.
@GnomeSlice for the past 2 monthes?
@badp I find this likely.
 
@John Pretty much.
 
1:00 AM
@GnomeSlice I find this un -likely.
I wish I were able to emphasize parts of a word.
 
Bah.
 
@GnomeSlice Still just as awkward as un likely.
 
Hmm...
 
@GnomeSlice That I agree with.

Q: Add the ability to hide text in chat

WipqoznA spoiler 'tag' to hide text for questions and answers was added back in December (>!), however, Stack Exchange has yet to add anything similar to chat. Considering chat conversations can lead just about anywhere, a feature to hide text in chat would be very useful. I propose a system very simi...

 
1:04 AM
@GnomeSlice That's...not emphasis.
 
@John Of course it isn't.
I just found it though.
You know how much I love posting things I find.
 
@GnomeSlice Congratulations?
@GnomeSlice True.

Q: Questions about the portrayal of women in games

GnomeSliceThere's been a huge debate over a question asked by me on the main site: How are women portrayed in King's Bounty: Armored Princess? It's been closed three times already. We should come to a resolution on this.

Okay, so that one is still in the positives, but why did it get 4 downvotes?
Is a discussion question about a controversial site question not a good idea?
I'm trying to understand how to fit in better here.
 
@GnomeSlice Meta downvotes usually express disagreement. If I had to guess, I'd say the downvoters do not want that question on the site.
 
No, on a discussion question, upvoted answers saying 'I don't want this' would say that.
 
1:10 AM
@GnomeSlice Not always.
Meta's are complicated places.
 
@John Well, that's just silly then.
 
@GnomeSlice Meta's (well, MSO anyway) often are/is.
Ok, the ability to throw boars has to be one of the best parts of this game.
 
@John Which?
 
@GnomeSlice People are kinda silly. I don't get why people are downvoting that post, unless they thought that it was really obvious why it was closed(in this case it was not).
 
@Mana I know exactly why they downvoted it.
 
1:12 AM
@GnomeSlice Because it's you and they hate you?
 
Because a) they didn't like the question and couldn't be bothered to actually read my meta post to find out that it was a discussion.
Or b), that.
 
@GnomeSlice Double-edged.
 
@John Didn't care much for that one, never got far into it.
 
@GnomeSlice It's definitely better when played co-op.
It's weird, I haven't been to Nitrome in so long, all my old favorites are now labeled "Classic Games"...
 
@John ...Where do you see 'classic games'?
 
1:16 AM
@GnomeSlice When playing a game, there are 2 boxes under it, each containing 4 games. One box is labeled "New Games" and the other "Classic Games".
 
Ah well.
 
@GnomeSlice More likely of the two
...or at least I hope it is.
 
@Mana However, it's linked to the other. I'd bet a lot of something valuable that if had been someone else, people would have taken more time to read the meta post.
 
@GnomeSlice mm...yeah, you're right.
 
@Mana I know. :<
 
1:19 AM
It's all part of the image one has on the site I suppose.
:<
 
Sockpuppet time.
 
jesus no
 
What was that name you gave me by mistake the other day?
 
no you're not making another sockpuppet
 
Oh. Right. I'm not making another sock puppet. wink
 
1:20 AM
Good.
 
@Mana I feel like I'm missing a backstory here.
 
@John Remember @JohnGore?
 
@John He has made two sock puppets thus far over the lifespan of the website.
 
@Mana I have?
I thought there was just the one...
 
I think?
 
1:20 AM
Oh. Right. No, two.
 
didn't you make one to temporarily avoid a suspension on the chat?
Yeah.
That was the more punishable of the two for sure. Please don't do that ever again. Well, don't make sockpuppets in general, but also that.
 
@GnomeSlice No...
@Mana Somehow I missed that.
 
@Mana What was the name you gave me by mistake the other day?
Everybody liked @JohnGore
 
@GnomeSlice I don't know what you're talking about
 
But people found out it was me, and took him away.
 
1:22 AM
 
@Mana Actually, officially, it's legal to have socks as long as you don't commit vote fraud.
 
@John Which I was very careful not to.
 
@John Even to avoid suspensions?
 
@Mana Well, no. But you said don't make them in general, and generally they're ok.
 
Generally. As in, it's our call.
 
1:23 AM
@badp even had one for a while.
 
@badp Which basically means, it's okay unless it's me.
badp has several.
 
We were aware of Eight Days of Malaise (or whatever he was called) for a long time
 
@badp I know. I'm just making sure that @Mana is aware that there isn't a hard and fast "No sock puppets ever" rule.
 
We kept him going until @Gnome used it to chat while suspended.
 
@badp Wait, Eight Days of Malaise was GnomeSlice?!
 
1:24 AM
@badp That wasn't it at all.
 
Yes
 
It was 'Lost in Mystery' or something.
 
I thought for sure I'd seen that name on other sites...
 
It was definitely not 'eight days of malaise'.
 
Fine. It was still a sockpuppet of yours.
 
1:25 AM
@GnomeSlice Wait, wasn't that the guy who you were always talking to about Raptor Safari?
 
@GnomeSlice I have one, exactly. I've requested a merge for it. I dunno if it's happened or not.
 
no that doesn't make sense
 
@GnomeSlice This is the one I remember.
 
@Mana No, that was someone else
 
@badp Can't you merge it yourself?
 
1:25 AM
@Mana It was thethinman. But his name is different now.
 
I make one when I need one then I typically merge it in. When I do that it's for moderation purposes.
 
I thought mods could do that...
 
@John Not any longer. People with enough SE-wide rep must have their accounts merged by the staff.
 
@badp This makes no sense to me.
 
@badp I did that too.
 
1:27 AM
@GnomeSlice You discovered you can use sockpuppets to evade bans. Go you. The discovery was done and you kept chatting.
 
@badp Win-win?
 
@badp Hm, I guess seeing how hard that is to reverse, they might want tighter control on it.
 
It's not you. It's what you do. Stop victimizing yourself.
@John Yeah, I guess they're better off with me having one permanent sockpuppet if I really must use one every now and then.
 
Yeah, I don't like ganging up on you @GnomeSlice but I agree with @badp here. I think you tend to make yourself out to be a victim of the system when it's your own fault, which is kind of odd.
 
@Mana Oh, I remember it now.
@Mana What about the last meta post I linked?
 
1:28 AM
and just for the record, this is just how sneaky I'm being:
 
Also frustrating since it leads to a lot of pointless drama
 
Gah.
I was trying to star that.
 
@GnomeSlice Hm...
 
x_x
 
1:30 AM
@badp Yup! That's the guy! Ban him for impersonation of a mod!
 
@Mana Hm...?
 
Alternate: I never knew you had a yellow brother, @badp.
 
@John IP ban him!
 
@John Yellow is my colour on all other websites.
 
@GnomeSlice IDK. I dislike the downvotes on that meta post. I don't disagree with you there.
 
1:31 AM
You see, I'm only made of diamond here.
 
@badp Yeah I know, but I thought it sounded good.
 
But there are some things that you are simply not a victim in. The sockpuppet thing was one of them.
 
@badp As in the blue of Minecraft diamonds! It all makes sense now.</wipqozn's-law>
 
@Mana "Oh hey, Gnomeslice is posting about that stupid question of his on meta. downvotes"
 
If I get too far from the power field of the Diamonds, the super-perfect cristalline nature of my being degrades and the same carbon in the diamond texture becomes good ole vulnerable skin and whatnot.
 
1:32 AM
Same with posting images and videos that are intended to be NSFW.
 
@Mana 'intended' my ass. =[
 
"OH HEY THIS GOT POSTED AND IT WAS SHOT DOWN FOR BEING TOO RISQUE. BUT THAT'S NOTHING CHECK THIS OUT!!!!"
 
@badp I was trying to make a point that time.
 
@GnomeSlice Well, you made the point. It got flagged and deleted.
I'm not sure what you expected to happen.
 
 
1:33 AM
@Mana It made sense at the time.
 
@GnomeSlice Half the times you say immediately after that you're going to get banned for that.
 
@Ullallulloo rolls a d2
 
How do you roll a two sided die?
 
aka coin
 
So... you're flipping a coin.
 
1:34 AM
and it's come up tails! ITS-A ME, BANHAMMER!
 
Well, bye everyone.
 
@GnomeSlice wat
 
@Mana ...Aren't you suspending me?
 
for what?
Pretending of getting tail in a coin toss?
 
@badp Check stuff.
 
1:35 AM
@GnomeSlice I'm pretty sure badp was kidding.
 
@Ullallulloo I see nothing.
 
In a minute you'll notice that he's been posting porn on meta with a sockpuppet.
 
@Ullallulloo I agree. I can ban him and I'm sure he'll know why he's been banned!!
I don't have to figure that out myself.
 
@Ullallulloo what
 
1:36 AM
Very convenient
 
Oh
that was a joke
 
@Mana joke
 
although to be fair you need like 10 rep to post porn on meta with a sockpuppet
5 for posting on meta, 10 for hotlinking an image right?
 
@badp Achievable
 
@GnomeSlice Yeah, just not quickly
Would take more than a minute.
 
1:37 AM
@badp heeeeeeheeeeeeeeeheeeeeeeeeh
 
a-yup. 10 reps.
What's this tomfoolery? You need reputation to be banned? THAT DOESN'T COMPUTE!!
 
Dammit, that image doesn't fit in my user profile.
I mean it does... but it adds scrollbars.

Q: How do I set spawn on a non-bukkit server?

MasterAceI have a small server for my friends and me and I am not using Bukkit. I can't seem to figure out how to set spawn somewhere differant. How can I do that?

 
Well, g2g.
C4s the Bridge
 
@Mana Goodbye.
 
1:48 AM
Eight Days of Malaise is random, @badp
And not a sockpuppet
 
@GraceNote ohhhh damn. You're right
I just remember noticing that name while looking for sockpuppets on the site
and it stuck there
Apologies
 
@GraceNote Oh what site? His MSO profile says he has 5 accounts, and he appears to me as "random" on all 5. Unless he changed it?
 
@badp I'm not the one you have to apologize to for calling that person GnomeSlice.
 
That's why I said 'apologies' and not 'apologies to a specific person'
 
@John You can use an entirely different set of login credentials to have entirely separate accounts
 
1:53 AM
@GraceNote Eh, true.
 
90% of the accounts on this site are actually me. sorry about that. :/
John, for instance, is actually me.
and ashley nunn.
badp kind of got away from me though, I think he's a separate person now.
at least, I take no responsibility for his actions anymore.
