1:00 PM
Or better yet, problems which you've faced previously
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone yeah, that's what I'm going for
 
I'm surprised there haven't been any questions yet
 
Same here
We have a fairly extensive Wiki so that is probably why
 
FUNGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
 
@Lazers this question got closed as I clicked answer, I am unhappy by this.
badp and his supervote again

Q: Why is my teammate's name flashing on the screen?

njallamIn a match today, I saw that the name of my teammate was flashing on the side of the screen. What does this mean? I assume it is my teammate trying to signal me. If so, how can I replicate this?

Good?
 
@njallam Looks good to me
 
@fredley Thanks
I'm just editing AirMech tag descriptions
I can only think of an excerpt
 
@badp Don't what?
 
@kalina abuse, etc...
 
@fredley What is that supposed to mean...
 
1:14 PM
@GnomeSlice dw
 
Did you get that instead of Gnoupi? bah
 
@fredley dw?
 
@GnomeSlice he was just being mean to you, nothing to worry about
 
@njallam You should add that it's a MOBA.
 
@GnomeSlice Don't worry... be happy
 
1:14 PM
@GnomeSlice Don't Worry
 
TOO MANY GNO'S
 
@badp gno there isn't
 
@GnomeSlice It kinda is, kinda isn't
 
@badp Considering changing name to GnomeSliced to piss off @badp
 
1:15 PM
@njallam It definitely is.
 
@kalina there isn't too many gnos?
Is that you pixel?
 
The devs never refer to it as such but I will add it in
 
@badp yes, it is me, I was the pixel all along
 
@njallam I dunno then, it seems online battle arena-y to me.
 
@badp and for some reason you gave me godmode on the bridge
 
1:15 PM
 
I haven't played it in a long time though.
 
@kalina Lies! The real Pixel would never get a number error in her sentences
 
I'll put MOBA-style
 
YOU MUST BE AN IMPOSTOR WHO TOOK OVER HER ACCOUNT
 
@njallam Sounds good. =] How long have you been playing Airmech?
 
1:16 PM
@badp He didn't get it instead of Gnoupi. They both got it. Chat ping, remember?
 
@GnomeSlice Since Beta 11000
 
@badp It's possible
 
I've always thought of pixel as male
 
@GraceNote uh... okay.
 
For some reason.
 
1:17 PM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone that's because there are no girls on the internet, apparently
they certainly don't play games
 
@badp Chat ping hits everyone it matches. That's why all the Michaels got in rages all the time.
 
@njallam I've starting playing in alpha... I forget which version exactly. I was in one of the first testing groups.
 
rolleyes
 
Haven't played it in a while though.
 
@GnomeSlice cool
 
1:17 PM
@kalina Why yes, how could I forget
 
Wasn't very good at it. :P
 
@GraceNote That makes the Michael's thing even more hilarious
 
@badp Me?
 
I thought it'd just target the latest Michael.
 
Nope. Hits all of them.
 
1:18 PM
@GnomeSlice No, it's a thing that happened in a room that doesn't exist, and then it kept happening.
Basically one of the mods' name was a full subset of several other mods
 
@GnomeSlice if your name Michael?
 
And two mods happen to have the same first name and the same initial for their surname, which then made it so that any reasonable ping had to be their full names.
 
You couldn't just ping him without pinging all other Michael's without using :-replies
 
@Tim! Calling @Tim!
 
@kalina Yes.
 
1:20 PM
It's worse on MSO chat
 
@GraceNote In other words, it was a glorious celebration of the nickname.
 
And I personally made it worse for a while
 
@GnomeSlice now I know something about you!
 
When I edit the main tag description, is it acceptable to hyperlink to the webpage and dev webpage etc?
 
@badp Indeed
 
1:20 PM
@njallam yes
 
@kalina HORROR
2
 
@njallam Not in the excerpt. The wiki is fine
 
@njallam at one point we were establishing a format for tag wikis but then everybody gave up on it
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Yeah, that's what I mean
 
@kalina Why don't-cha come on over...
 
1:20 PM
because Arqade is full of people who can't follow through
2
 
Last time I edited a tag wiki I got yelled at, so here goes...
 
cough Arqade cleanup 2012 cough
 
@kalina We finished that!
 
@fredley wrong!
 
@njallam YELL
 
1:21 PM
We must have done, because it's 2013 now
@YiJiang'sEvilClone SHOUT
 
More like everybody went at it like nuts for a month and then forgot about it
 
Fuck, I don't know how to use CS6
 
:P
 
@fredley Frozen Synapse Tournament!
 
@GnomeSlice It's not that different from CS5. Or 4. Or any of the other previous versions for that matter.
 
1:22 PM
@GnomeSlice It's different from InkScape too. And Mass Effect.
 
CS1.6 was the best
it went downhill after that
 
@kalina Photoshop 5.5 was the best
 
Except the colors. They seem to like to change the interface color with every version
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I have CS5 at home. I can't figure out where all of the tools are in CS6, and it can't see an image I had imported
 
@kalina Not a fan of CS:GO?
 
1:23 PM
@fredley I'm sorry I was talking about gaming in this gaming channel
 
Which I kind of need.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone meh it's ok, most of the people I used to play with don't play CS anymore though
 
@kalina Gaming is off topic here
 
@GnomeSlice The tools are... exactly where they are. Go back to the default workspace if you somehow messed it up
 
The tools are sat between the keyboard and the chair
 
1:24 PM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I can't even see a thing for changing the workspace, which is what originally has been confusing me.
 
Did you hit tab by accident?
 
Don't think so.
 
@fredley you cheat
 
@kalina It got unstarred :(
 
that was me :(
I didn't mean to click that
it was so pretty though
had a sparkling picture and everything
 
1:25 PM
Something is fucked up, none of the menu options do anything either.
 
@kalina Shiny shiny stars
 
Okay, most of them do, but not 'preferences'.
 
I have not yet found the secret 'ban GnomeSlice' option that everybody keeps talking about though
 
@GnomeSlice Sounds broken, throw it away and buy a new computer
 
I expect to find it soon
 
1:25 PM
Window > Tools, Window > Options
 
@kalina @badp has a button
 
@kalina Enter mod election > win > ban GnomeSlice > ?????? > Profit
 
@GnomeSlice I wish he would share it with me
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Yeah mine is fucked, I don't even see that option.
 
the button that is
@fredley I refuse
 
1:26 PM
@GnomeSlice Everyone has a button.
 
 
Son of a bitch, I should have brought my laptop to school today.
 
Oh, I thought you were in Photoshop.
 
Since I'm here for an appointment, and then have the rest of the day to work on this
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone appears
What's going on?
 
1:27 PM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Illustrator, my bad.
 
@kalina Bwahahahahaha
 
Oh, how people confuse me for Tim Post on a weekly basis?
 
@badp thanks for the edit. I'm done on now
 
@TimStone both names have 'Tim' in them
 
1:28 PM
@njallam I should ask some questions about this. I could probably answer some too, but I'd have to start playing it again.
 
I found out the other day that Ubisoft has a clan of girl gamers called the 'Frag Dolls'

Q: Is there anyway to view my TTT stats?

DuffCreeperI really want to know my TTT stats, how can I view them?

 
@GnomeSlice You should, it's really good
 
and that they've got a member called pixxel
 
@njallam I know, I just am not very good at it.
 
1:28 PM
@kalina Kill it
 
@GnomeSlice neither am I. :P
@Lazers Yes, I can see my own question.
 
@njallam @Lazers is like that
 
@kalina Yes, well, for a brief glorious moment everybody on the Tavern was a Tim
 
And since I didn't play much multiplayer in alpha (I don't think it even existed) when I did most of my playing, I didn't rank up.
 
1:29 PM
@badp can't we get @Lazers to format new questions less intrusively?
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I'm a trendsetter like that
 
@GraceNote New Question!
 
@fredley How do you mean?
 
@OrigamiRobot Yay! I <3 flagging!
 
@fredley The only other option is for them to appear at the top of the screen, in a popup
 
1:30 PM
You want them to not one-box, basically?
 
@BenBrocka @GraceNote I think @njallam looks like @JasonBerkan.
PING ALL THE PEOPLE
 
I don't want them to not one box
 
@GraceNote Yes
 
so there's that
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Which is even more obtrusive since you have to dismiss it.
 
1:30 PM
@OrigamiRobot O_o
 
@GraceNote Can this be done? If so, I think a meta vote would be appropriate
 
the summary helps you pick out immediately which ones need action tbh
 
@fredley It can't.
 
I'd leave it as it is
 
1:31 PM
@fredley You can do it in a very convoluted manner
 
@badp I didn't ask you...
 
But it won't be very efficient, and the feed would be even more delayed
 
@fredley It doesn't change the fact it can't be done.
 
@fredley raise it on meta... I dare you.
 
@fredley Not readily, no. All it does is read a feed, we'd need to have either a separate feed or something else. And I think a lot of folk like the onebox for spotting things.
 
1:31 PM
@GraceNote Fine
:(
 
@GraceNote It's true, I like spotting all the things.
 
Since the whole point of it is to give you relevant slices of info for folk to not have to follow a link unless necessary.
 
what? You're not going to raise it on meta?
 
The Twitter onebox is slightly less obtrusive
 
Stop trying to oppress @Lazers
 
1:32 PM
193 messages in an hour >.>
 
@fredley that means all that effort I put into getting worked up about nothing is wasted.
 
I'm going to have to go in like an hour anyway... ugh
 
When it'll get to the point where Lazers is blanking chat every five minutes, we can look into making a "chat bot" with 20 reputation and all that
 
@kalina No
 
@kalina I do that a lot
 
1:32 PM
but we're not quite there
 
Excuse me as I now flood this site with fanboys
 
@kalina All these pitchforks out, for nothing!?
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone yes
 
@njallam Do your worst :D
 
@njallam Flood away.
 
1:32 PM
Don't forget the fuel wasted on the torches.
 
@njallam do it, I need more flags
 
@TimStone Global warming :(
 
@njallam Best of luck, you'll need it
 
@TimStone this
 
@njallam It can't be worse than LoL
 
1:33 PM
now that was a lot of replies
 
this site has survived me retagging 200 questions in the space of a few minutes, do your worst etc
 
SUCCESS
 
@kalina I have actually done this
 
@fredley I think we both did it at the same time the first few times
2
 
@njallam ?
 
1:34 PM
My auto-tag-burninator
 
@kalina I'd say "Challenge Accepted", but that'd end poorly for everyone involved
 
@kalina retagging 200 questions in the space of a few minutes, do your worst etc Fix'd
 
@njallam You going to promote Arqade on the Carbon forums?
 
@BenBrocka In case I haven't replied yet - yes, it was me, and mine is a +50.0% health relic.
 
then everybody started with the aneurysms
 
1:34 PM
@GnomeSlice yes
 
@kalina so cute
 
@badp pervert
 
@kalina and @fredley sitting in a tree, E D I T I N G

@badp She is with fbueckert and vice-versa! How dare you!
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone You win chat for today
 
1:35 PM
this channel is devolving into schoolyard name calling
 
How come when I review something it doesn't always show me as a reviewer.
 
six months from now we'll be singing nursery rhymes to each other
 
Stupid review queue
 
@GnomeSlice Somebody probably beat you to it
 
@kalina Yay, regression!
 
1:35 PM
@badp Bah
@kalina Looks like that's already happening, to me.
 
23 hours ago, by kalina
@badp and @fbueckert sitting in a tree... K I S S I N G
 
At least, in one direction.
 
@kalina All around the mulberry bush, @kalina chased @fbueckert
 
apparently when I laugh at work, people get suspicious
my excuse for bursting out in laughter this time was "futile despair at how bad we are at writing software"

♫ @pixel and @fbueckert sitting in a tree. ♫ I dont know what humans do in trees so that's all I got.
 
1:37 PM
@OrigamiRobot They typically look for ways down that don't involve breaking legs
 
@badp scribbles notes "Humans will break each others legs in while in a tree..."
 
I can't imagine that making out in a tree would be very comfortable
 
@TimStone ifbvueikbuvebuleigthiesrgtjhertlbn
 
@badp Or away up away from mutinous robots who can't climb trees
 
runs away again
 
1:38 PM
@kalina Depends on the tree

Q: Add smaller, collapsible question feed option for chat

Mad ScientistRoom owners and chat moderators can add feeds to chat rooms that can e.g. display new questions from the target site. It's a very nice feature in my opinion, but it can get problematic for high traffic feeds and low traffic chat rooms. When a question is posted to chat by the feed it looks like ...

 
@njallam Aquade?
 
@fredley that's not quite a tree, is it
 
1:39 PM
@GnomeSlice yes.
 
@njallam nice speeling
 
@njallam You spelled it wrong in the title AND in the body text, and you spelled them both differently.
 
I don't think the chances of that being implemented are high, but you're not the only one that would like to have a more subtle feed option
 
@kalina Good enough for me
 
Aquade / Arquade
 
1:40 PM
That's as close to nature as I wish to get
 
facepalm
 
@njallam Should be 'Arqade'
 
we will always be ♥gaming.stackexchange.com♥
6
 
@njallam The qa is for QA
 
@GnomeSlice fixed
 
1:41 PM
@kalina Pixel Heart for lyfe
 
I am really tired today :P
 
The only thing I don't understand is, I've never seen somebody sitting in a tree
 
COME ON! only 3 rep to 1k x. x
someone upvote me xD
 
@Meraj99 Downvoted
 
1:44 PM
xD?
 
Solely for asking for upvotes while using xD
 
you just did xD
 
@njallam let me tell you, these threads never end well
 
@Meraj99 Another downvote
 
1:44 PM
@Meraj99 downvoted everything you've ever posted
 
>.>
 
@OrigamiRobot Where did you find that picture of me?!
 
@OrigamiRobot That is very clearly sitting outside a tree, over a tree, on a tree branch.
 
yup xD
 
@badp Thanks for the support!
 
1:44 PM
@Meraj99 Now you have 1,002
 
@badp If the doors of a car are open, are you sitting outside the car, under the car, on a seat?
 
:D THX!
 
@njallam oh, I'm just telling you out of experience - because I tried myself :)
 
@Meraj99 NO
 
heh
 
1:46 PM
You'll get people confusing it for off-site forums
 
@badp That's not how English works. i.e. Birds nest 'in' a tree.
 
badp..... i flagged a answer for not an answer.... go review it >.>
 
@GnomeSlice shhh, I'm playing the origamirobot here :P
 
Yea @GnomeSlice, jeez.
 
@Meraj99 no.
 
1:46 PM
>.<
 
I'm not sure what Translunar is doing, but his old songs keep showing up new in my soundcloud feed. Maybe he's just constantly reposting them to get exposure. Whatever it is, it's really annoying.
 
:D helpful flag >.>
 
@Meraj99 Annoying @badp is a dangerous thing to do.
 
@OrigamiRobot You can't deny you're sitting on a seat in a car. The /.-style car analogy breaks down as car usually are closed, while there's no such thing as a "closed" tree.
 
i wanna annoy fredley :D
 
1:48 PM
@badp Topologically, all trees are solid spheres, so you can't really be 'in' them in that sense
 
y u edit me post :(
imma go play bl2 >.>
 
@Meraj99 Good plan
 
@kalina It's rather romantic, if you ask me
But of course you just have to break up with him
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I don't do internet romance
and me breaking up with people usually results in trauma for the receiving party
some of these stars are dodgy out of context
 
speaking of which, now that our mermaid left there's one free spot in @GraceNote's fanfic dating simulator thing
 
1:52 PM
@badp Please explain this sentence...
 
word by word
full explanation time
 
@badp No more Arda.
 
oh you short memoried ones
 
I'm intrigued by your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter
 
1:52 PM
None of them were around at the time.
 
who is Arda?
 
Oh, Arda
Terrible mod :(
 
@GraceNote not even fredley?
 
@badp I don't think he was active in chat in the time. Likewise, Yi Jiang was still primarily in the Tavern and not in here back then.
 
@GraceNote I wasn't active in chat for the first year I was on G.SE
 
1:53 PM
I might have been. My memory ain't what it used to be
It's what happens when people grow old
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone :(
 
@badp I REMEMBER! JEEZ!
 
My goodness, I'm 19. Somebody help me.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone being 19 isn't a reason to need help
 
oh goddammit. Closure lost my save file
 
1:54 PM
@kalina Says you
 
Feb 22 '11 at 23:10, by Grace Note
Twintails or long and straight, @Arda?
 
uninstall
 
I can't decide which version of this track I like more.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I am speaking from experience
I have survived being 19 and I'm ready to graduate to my 20s
well, I'm not ready, I actually want to stay 19
but that's life I guess
 
And then, after a lot of explanation:
 
1:56 PM
@GraceNote Dating sim?
 
Feb 23 '11 at 0:23, by Grace Note
Gaming Stack Exchange - The Dating Sim.
 
Nailed it.
 
We still have sleds. I just noticed.
 
@GraceNote one of the links broke. yay mod powers.
 
Wtf is going on in here today? Fanfic talk, G.SE dating sims, and xD? UNACCEPTABLE!
Needs more pony.
 
1:59 PM
We can just put a pony in the dating sim to replace the mermaid.
 
@GraceNote Long live my blue streaks!
