@YiJiang'sEvilClone MY BRAINS ARE MELTING. AGAIN
 
@TimStone Indeed! I actually looked up "streaks" to find the logs.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Better. Better.
 
Excellent
 
If ronnie won the last election, chat would be better.

2:00 PM
@Fluttershy It would be more pro, for a start
 
@fredley We're already pro. We need ronnie so we can become pro much.
 
Because he's the kind of pro much the Bridge deserves, but not the kind it needs right now.
 
@Wipqozn This is amazing.
 
2:03 PM
@fredley Much more
@YiJiang'sEvilClone moist and delicious
@badp K, I'll throw this one in the trash then
 
@BenBrocka I don't think candy floss contains much moisture
 
oooooh
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It does after you've licked it. So there
 
Finally I Wanna Be The Guy got TASed. @GraceNote
25 minutes
I guess that means no major skips
 
@Wipqozn That's like everything against their Fifth Amendment.
Also, I overslept today! That's rare!
 
2:09 PM
@Wipqozn Next "When did you stop beating your wife" will be officially recognized as the most bestest question a prosecutor can ask
 
ow, the bombs boss got murdered pretty badly.
and so did Dracula.
and so did the uh green big one, who actually got one-cycled
 
@fbueckert Quite blatantly. Things you can be arressted for: Telling the truth to the, Police Lying to the police, and soon to be Being silent to the police
 
@BenBrocka So basically, if a copy doesn't like the cut of your jib, they can arrest you.
 
@fbueckert Yes. Double so if you record him doing so of course
(Though I think a few places have smacked down on that)

Q: What are Kudos and Diamonds and how do I earn them?

njallam What are they? What do they do? How can I earn them?

 
2:18 PM
@fbueckert IT's funny, because the USA legal system has a lot of fucking problems.
 
Morning, Bridge
@Wipqozn You don't say...
 
@SaintWacko I do say. In fact, I just said it.
 
@Wipqozn disparaging the boot is a bootable offense
@OrigamiRobot I have zero idea what this is about or what it means
 
@Wipqozn Oh, then, my bad :D
@kalina I still refer to it as GSE
 
GSE doesn't really roll off the tongue well
Is that Guh-See or Gee Ess Eee?
 
2:23 PM
@BenBrocka Gee Ess Eee
 
Though GuhSee is almost like SCSI
 
@BenBrocka You know exactly what it means.
 
Your daily dose of MSO:

Q: Should Stack Overflow be worried about Sack Overflow?

Dan JSomebody seems to have recognized the porn potential of sackoverflow.com and has registered it already. Should Stack Overflow be flattered, or concerned? Domain Name: sackoverflow.com Registrar: CSMJBS Enterprises Organization Name: CSMJBS Private Organization Registrant Contac...

 
@OrigamiRobot Ohhh I just got it. For once you're kinda right
 
@TimStone facepalm
 
2:26 PM
@BenBrocka I declare victory for OrigamiRobot!
 
@TimStone we should totally buy Steakoverflow
@TimStone Also, that's nuts
 
@BenBrocka Yeah, that's awesome
 
oh he did do skips instead.
 
@BenBrocka I was disappointed to find that no one on Seasoned Advice suggested steakoverflow.com when they thought they were getting a domain.
 
2:27 PM
?
 
@BenBrocka I GET IT IT'S A PUN ON TESTICLES
2
 
Also, look at the questions on recipe labs
 
@SaintWacko O_O
 
Supposed to be about cooking, but one of the first ones is asking what vga to hdmi cables are for
 
Great recipes they have cooking there!
 
2:28 PM
VTC AS OFF-TOPIC
 
I want some
 
and he's cheating death too. Awesome
 
@SaintWacko At least they tagged it
 
@SaintWacko Simmer your VGA cable in your choice of BBQ sauce for 45 minutes at 350 degrees, stirring occasionally
 
Hell, none of them are about recipes, and only a couple are even tangentially about food
 
2:29 PM
The next few are about SEO
I don't even
 
@TimStone facepalm
 
I want to make an account to flag it all

Q: Demo versions of the game Re-volt

AllanSomeone here play Re-volt? It's a racing game style remote control. Were created many versions of this game, including a lot of demos, each demo with a different engine and an extra car. These demos versions are lost. they are very rare. Here are the demos that are missing: NAME/VERSION/EXTRA CA...

 
Then post more like those
 
@njallam Bring the site down from the inside and force them to sell to SE?
 
2:30 PM
@SaintWacko sounds like a plan
StackExchangers... UNITE!

@njallam Begin Operation Steak!

Ooh, I have steak in the fridge
 
Flag all the cooking questions and upvote all the offtopics
 
@njallam I prefer cookies
 
@SaintWacko sh'up :P
 
WTB VGA to cookie converter please advise
 
2:32 PM
@njallam :D
 
Mmm... Steak Exchange.
 
What... How did I get +13 reputation since I last checked... without a downvote showing
@GnomeSlice I'll give you a round steak for a flank steak
 
@njallam is that an SE 1.0 thingy?
 
But steakoverflow.com is part of the Recipe Puppy network! Home to fine sites such as CookThing.
 
@BenBrocka "Part of the Recipe Puppy network"

Q: What are Kudos and Diamonds and how do I earn them?

njallam What are they? What do they do? How can I earn them?

Q: Which strategy best ensures survival?

DavidYellSo, currently I've only managed to get a high score of 1200. I tend to play in my lunchbreak as most games only last about 25 minutes. I have tried to race through the game, avoiding conflict where I can and this proved to be effective to get me 6 sectors in before I died to an uncontrollable ...

 
<3 jQuery
 
@TimStone New question: How do I cook things?
 
@njallam should have called it ReciPuppy
 
@njallam At least it's not "Part of the Puppy Recipe network"
 
@BenBrocka Looks like OSQA or some other such PHP thing.
Their JavaScript is unminified too, classy.

A: Suggest a domain name.

PulseThe term 'hob' seems to be generic enough to eliminate any confusion. offthehob.com

 
2:39 PM
steakoverflow.com sounds absolutely delicious
sackoverdlow is con
concerning* :p
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Eugh. I feel there's a question in there, but as it stands, it's pretty darn horrible.
 
@badp And I can't deny he is sitting on a branch, but he clearly in the boundaries of the tree. Just like you are in the boundaries of a car whether the door is closed or not.
 
@fbueckert As far as I can tell, there isn't
 
Hm
Oh, oops
 
2:42 PM
It's just a guy looking for a file
 
No, nevermind, I have no idea how to make that work
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone "I've heard that there are some extra cars in Re-volt. How can I use them?"
That sorta changes the meaning of his question, but probably the only way we can keep it.
 
Huh, diablo 3 spam, that's a new one
 
@BenBrocka Eh? Where are you seeing D3 spam?
 
@TimStone I didn't think OSQA allowed privileges quite like that, or maybe I'm thinking of questions2answer
 
2:45 PM
Yeah, I'm not sure either. It's running on an Ubuntu box with Apache/PHP though, so it's one of 'em.
 
@fbueckert Oh, in my email not on arqade
 
I'm going to guess three people on right now use the Chrome plugin :D
 
Do "we" have fb ? (unofficial that I found) facebook.com/TheArqadeCommunity?fref=ts
 
@MichelAyres Yes.
 
@SaintWacko what chrome plugin?
 
2:48 PM
@Wipqozn link pls =X
 
@MichelAyres The link you just provided was the link.
 
@Wipqozn "This is the unofficial group for Arqade.com"
 
IT's unofficial because Stack EXchange wanted us to make sure everyone knew it wasn't a representative of the company.
 
Ahhhhhhhhhh
 
It's officially unofficial, if you will.
 
2:50 PM
@murgatroid99 There a stack exchange plugin that gives you faster question updates than Lazers
 
We could call it the Arqade fan club
 
I can't seem to find it, though
Oh, here it is
I forget that the chrome web store defaults to searching apps instead of extensions -.-
 
@SaintWacko I just leave the new questions page open
 
@murgatroid99 I used to do that
I like this better
Efficiency, ho!
 
Pin the tab, add a favicon badge userscript (which I'll shortly get around to writing)
Should be fine as far as notification goes.
Slow old @Lazers :(
 
2:53 PM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I think someone was asking me about that the other day...
 
Fixed, maybe?

Q: Where are the extra cars?

AllanI've heard that there are some hidden cars in Re-volt. For the life of me, though, I can't seem to find them. I've seen a screenshot of this car: The right car is the Gamespot car, but I can't seem to figure out how to use it. Does anyone know how I can?

 
Oh, no, that was a different script.
But also yours:
@TimStone stackapps.com/questions/2378/se-comment-link-helper works, thanks :). Are you also involved with SEReputationAuditHelper.user.js? That only works on Stack Overflow, but on none of the other sites I'm registered at, even though it is supposed to act on all of them. — doncherry Nov 28 '12 at 1:18
 
Oh, that. Right.
 
erm @ this edit
 
2:54 PM
grapefruit iron man helmet cat. your argument is soooo invalid
 
Sort of forgot about it now that the /reputation thing is all but useless
 
@fbueckert He's already tried to edit it back
 
@SaintWacko No, that's someone else.
 
@fbueckert Oh, right
Still odd
 
2:55 PM
@SaintWacko The original question wasn't a good fit. I'm trying to salvage it.
 
I Love Violin * - *
 
@fbueckert you seem to be fundamentally changing the meaning of the question
 
I'd just close it as 'not a real a shite question'
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Yeah, I had forgotten about it until he brought it up, admittedly.
 
2:56 PM
@TimStone That's odd. Let me see...
 
@kalina I am. It may garner the responses he wants, or it may not.
@kalina Normally, that's exactly what I would, too. :P
If he rolls it back, I VTC.
 
somebody is trying to roll it back right now
 
@fbueckert Same here, the original version was a forum post, not a question
 
If he wants to keep it around here, he can reject the edit. If he approves it, it'll get deleted. Either way, Arqade quality is maintained.
 
imo if it requires changing the meaning of the question we should just close it
question is closed now
I PLACED THE FINAL VOTE
 
2:59 PM
@kalina YOU MURDERER
 
Or you guys can reject the edit AND close it. :P
 
@fbueckert I rejected the edit, but didn't close it :P
 
@SaintWacko I'm sorry, I don't care.
for all I care, it can be deleted
 
I found the error. It's been such a long time since I read the code though, I have no idea where that came from
 
@kalina I'm just bored and sleepy, don't mind me
 
3:00 PM
Let me see if I can just patch it without actually fixing anything
Like a true programmer!
 
@SaintWacko you are not unique in those symptoms
 
@kalina Good to hear
What time is it for you?
 
15:01
 
@SaintWacko Please no
 
Welp. I tried.
 
3:02 PM
@kalina Psh
9:02 here -.-
 
@fbueckert where did the real @fbueckert go, I want the real @fbueckert back
the real @fbueckert wouldn't ask these questions, he would have been the person who initiated the VTC after leaving a snarky one liner as a comment
 
@kalina The one who just bitches about stupid questions and throws close votes around left, right, and center?
 
@fbueckert yes, him
he's much more predictable
can we have him back please
 
@kalina The real @fbueckert has gone over to recipe labs, and been replaced by the @fbueckert alter ego
 
3:03 PM
@kalina Still here. I'm just trying to do some salvaging for once.
 
@fbueckert SALVAGING? YOU?
falls off chair
 
Geez. I close anything and everything, you bitch at me. I try to fix questions, you bitch at me.
WHAT DO YOU WANT, WOMAN!?
 
["earned", "340", "reputation", "from", "suggested", "edits"]
RangeError: invalid array length
return new Array(n + 1).join(' ');
 
@fbueckert CONSISTENCY!
 
Found the error
 
3:05 PM
:O
 
The problem was the code trying to parse the last line of the /reputation page, which included the suggested edit line
 
@fbueckert we can't both be carebears, you need to be evil mr closer of everything in order for me to counterbalance your actions
 
@kalina Wait, are you saying you're the good one of the pair of you?
 
@SaintWacko no, I'm the less evil one and I have tolerance for noobs and/or people who speak in broken English
 
@kalina I don't have this kind of tolerance
 
3:06 PM
@kalina Well, you're better than me, then
 
Huh, fixed the error, and the script is still not running
 
@fredley exactly
 
@kalina Every xD is like fingernails on a blackboard
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Guess that wasn't the error :P
 
@SaintWacko I didn't realise this was open to debate
 
3:07 PM
Activating Mr. Hyde persona
 
@kalina Ouch, I walked into that one
 
@fredley xD
 
@kalina :(

Q: Setting up a tekkit server without Hamatchi OS-X

Cooke1007I have been trying to setup a private server without Hamatchi for a while now because my friend, for various reasons, cannot connect. Because I am on MacOS my VPN options are very limited without Hamatchi and as such I have not been able to set it up. I have tried port forwarding but all my ports...

 
3:07 PM
Oh, the sleds are still sledding...
 
@Wipqozn I posted about this hours ago
 
don't tell anybody
 
Oh, the sleds are still sledding...
 
it might never get fixed
 
The code works if I run it from the console, but it won't in the actual userscript
 
3:08 PM
Oh, the sleds are still sledding
 
1 hour ago, by fredley
We still have sleds. I just noticed.
 
Oh, the sleds are still sledding
 
@fredley Well, it wasn't in the starred list, so it doesn't count.
 
Oh, the sleds are still sledding
 
3:08 PM
@Wipqozn :(

Oh wait, I forgot to enable the script /facepalm
Yup, it's working now
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Nice
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone so, user error all along amirite?
 
Oh, the sleds are still sledding
Why do I keep typing slidding
 
And the Bridge reminds me why attempting to salvage word vomit is a futile task.
 
3:09 PM
@kalina Oh no, there was an actual bug in the parser
Which I patched around
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone uhuh
@fbueckert sorry for ruining your 2013 reserve of goodwill
 
@kalina All I wanted was one question! This is why you guys can't have nice things! sob
 
I have watched so much Mythbusters recently that "this is why we can't have nice things" makes me laugh lots
 
Wut... I just tried editing the file on GitHub. Copied the new code in, added the obligatory comment, hit commit... and got a 404 page
 
woo 17 flags away from 400
 
3:13 PM
@kalina flags
 
@OrigamiRobot Datamined 1.07 patch says crafting costs for new gear is 25K.
 
@fredley its about time we abused chat flags in here, it's been weeks
nothing like a bunch of mods suddenly joining
 
@kalina @GnomeSlice?
 
I duno, what did @GnomeSlice do recently?
 
@kalina Not sure. We could partake in the noble sport of Gnome baiting though.
 
3:15 PM
The GitHub edit page is requesting a resource that's giving me a 404 - https://github.com/rchern/StackExchangeScripts/edit/master/undefined
 
isn't he getting banned for like 6 months the next time he is banned?
 
Seems like there's a JavaScript error somewhere in the code
 
@kalina Pfffft that's what they said last time
 
No baiting.
 
I'm getting some really weird errors from the GitHub page
 
3:18 PM
I got an Uncaught #<Event>, heh
 
I'm getting a web worker error, an attempt to load something that's resulting in a 404, and an uncaught exception: [xpconnect wrapped native prototype]
 
Yeah
 
Oh, I know why
GreaseMonkey is messing things up here
I think
Hmmm, nope. No change.
 
@fbueckert 25K Gold? What about materials?
 
I'm out of ideas
 
3:21 PM
@OrigamiRobot [Exquisite Essence]x50 [Tome of Secrets]x5 [Demonic Essence]x1
@fredley That's not really fair, guys. It's so easy to bait him.
 
@fbueckert @kalina is the one wanting to bring down the flags
 
Ooh, there are even jewelry crafts for the BoA items.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It's creating a new Worker with argument undefined :P
 
@fbueckert I guess it all depends on how easy Demonic Essences are to get. Those are going to be account bound right?
 
@OrigamiRobot Yup
 
3:23 PM
@fbueckert That's good.
 
My understanding is that MP0 elites have a 15% chance to drop one, per pack.
 
Eeeegggghhhhh
 
huh, the edit just went through
 
Please tell me you meant MP10
 
3:24 PM
I'm going to try to hoover some Exquisite Essences tonight off of the AH.
> Currently we are planning for a 20% chance to drop at Monster Power 0, and each Monster Power will increase the chance of Demonic Essence dropping by 15% (MP1 will be 23%, MP2 will be 26.45%, etc. up to 80.91% at MP10)
Nope, I was wrong. 20% at MP0.
 
@fbueckert They aren't that hard to get.
@fbueckert Wow, why don't they just give them away?
 
Welp, it's done. No need to submit a bug report to GitHub.
 
@OrigamiRobot Faster to buy them than have to go run through and collect junk.
@OrigamiRobot At those prices and requirements, I'll be able to craft a full set of BoA right off the bat, I think.
Just gotta hammer some bosses for their 50% chance to drop the recipes.
 
How boring.
 
ChargingPun is doing that thing I did not that long ago
gaining 1000 rep through edits
 
@fbueckert ...
 
but...he's on a website about games...?
 
@tombull89 And he's slandering @James good name, too!

@fbueckert 50% chance?
Wow, the D3 drop tables are really screwed up
 
@BenBrocka I don't think that's a coincidence
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone it's the same user
 
Is it? The name isn't James
 
3:31 PM
@Lazers That isn't all that far from "How do I beat the game?"
 
@SaintWacko The new recipes have random drop chances. Bosses just have a 50% chance to drop them.
 
I'm sad I never beat D3 Inferno before they nerfed it
 
@BenBrocka old
;p
I mean... already flagged it!
 
Yup, same user alright.
 
3:32 PM
and edited the question, and answer
and left a comment
 
@BenBrocka Maybe they have conflicting split personalities.
 
now that I have performed every action I can on that question without closing or deleting it, it's time to move on!
 
FYI: "ZBot" is ripping out the Counter-Strike: Condition Zero bots and attempting to run them on a Counter-Strike 1.6 server. These are two entirely separate products.
 
I'm just wondering if this is some sort of new trolling technique, start with outright trolling to make your non-answer seem more innocuous?
 
@BenBrocka On regular forums, it might work.
On Arqade, it's still not an answer, so it gets deleted anyways.
 
3:34 PM
@Powerlord hence the accepted answer basically
 
@BenBrocka If he was smarter he would create a different account
 
We are not impressed
 
At the very least
 
I'm not sure it works as well when you're the same person.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone If he were smarter he wouldn't be doing this
 
3:35 PM
Ewww why would you have a sick snotty baby has your headline image on your website
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Gravatar would still give it away, as iirc they use your IP if you don't have an account registered.
 
I think this is a dupe at best and NC at worst. I'm all for duping it, but I already voted. Hint: It's definitely not Too Localized as someone voted.
 
@fbueckert Trolls regenerate. You can only kill them with fire.
 
@Sterno So get out the blowtorches.
 
3:39 PM
@Sterno Well, you know what they say... IF ALL ELSE FAILS USE FIRE
 
Do I have to think of everything!?
 
Ha! I countered your D&D reference with a Zelda reference!
 
Someone was supposed to point out that acid works too. You all fail D&D 101.
 
gravatar is actually a hash of the email address, from what I've seen.
you can tell if two people are using the same email by checking to see if the gravatars match.

Q: Are any important NPCs doomed to die, or immune from death?

Q: Modern Warfare 3 - Everyone needs the content packs?

ShikiI want to play together with a friend of mine. However, we don't have the content packs. Can we play on the new DLC maps and missions if only one of us buys the packs? (i.e. the host) Or we both have to buy all the 4 packs?

 
3:40 PM
that said, there's not much that can be done about unregistered accounts, even if I suspend it's trivial to get around.
 
@agent86 It's email hash if there's an email, or IP if no email
 
@BenBrocka I don't think you can submit content to SE without an email addr. though
 
@agent86 sometimes it works if they're using the same account; not everyone knows they can get around unregistered
@agent86 you can if you register without email. Unregistereds always require an email
 
@BenBrocka ah, not a lot of experience dealing with registered no-email users. that's interesting. seems like their gravatar would change periodically, then, no?
or is it just snapshotting their IP at the time of registration?
 
3:42 PM
@agent86 Not sure how that works actually. I've only seen a couple no-emails
 
@agent86 Think so, yeah, and then the gravatar is based on the hash of that IP + some salt
 
@BenBrocka yeah, that seems weird to me. I can't create an account on SO without providing my email
 
If I don't get a better answer for this, I'm going to self answer. Both existing answers are inaccurate and/or incomplete.
 
gravatar.com won't let you sign up without providing an email either (it's the first thing they ask)
maybe these no-email accounts are legacy, from some distant past when it was allowed?
 
@agent86 even with openIDs?
 
3:47 PM
@BenBrocka hmm, didn't try openid, tried just creating a SO account.
 
@agent86 "creating" an account makes an unregistered (hate hate hate that workflow since it funnels people into throwaway accounts), it has to be a registered (openID) account to not have an email
 
@agent86 SO is different anyway since it requires registration now.
 
Jeremy Tunnell on January 15, 2013

One of our New Year’s resolutions here at Stack Exchange is to take a hard look at our user experience. As the network has grown and our audience expanded, the system has grown with it – but there are some rough edges in places that can use a bit of smoothing. You’ll be seeing a lot of improvements over the next few months, but today I’d like to announce the first bit of polish: built-in profile pictures.

We have used Gravatar to let you manage your profile picture since roughly six to eight weeks before Stack Overflow entered beta. Gravatar is a wonderful service that lets you use a con …

A: How do I spawn Vermivorous The Invincible?

Ben BrockaBasically what you need to do is run around and kite a group of Varkids (draw aggression but don't kill) until they grow into morph pods. Do not kill the varkids or pods.
