The Bridge

Oh, so a CRT. Yeah, those can be heavy

user15026

Yeah, it was heavier than I thought it would be for the size

yawn Evening, folks.

@AshleyNunn CRTs usually are.

When I lived in residence I had a 14" flatscreen CRT that weighed several metric asstonnes.

I lived on the fifth floor.

11:03 PM

@FEichinger Don't yawn at me! My evening has suddenly opened up and I want to enjoy it.

It was the worst.

user15026

@ToxicFrog Sounds it. I don't know how big this one is, but still. Now I understand why my sister and it almost tumbled down the stairs when she brought it to me

@MBraedley Well, I just got home and it's 1 am, so I think I'm allowed to yawn.

Oh, in that case... go to bed!

Naaaah.

user15026

11:05 PM

@MBraedley At 1 am? That is hardly bedtime ;P

user15026

Rawr laptop y u always need updates

Ktash

You people have a strange definition of "bedtime" if 1am does not qualify

user15026

@Ktash Sweetie, have we met? :P

"bedtime" does not exist. Sleep is overrated.

@Ktash one of my friends goes to bed at 7am every day, so

11:07 PM

Also, everyone here should know by now that I hardly ever truly sleep before ~4am.

user15026

@FEichinger I am not convinced you -ever- sleep

user15026

@ToxicFrog And then sleeps for....?

@badp This is sick

@AshleyNunn Eight-ish hours.

@AshleyNunn Well ... I think I call "sleep" something else than most people do, so ... probably.

Ktash

11:08 PM

I'm vaguely reminded of this

user15026

@ToxicFrog Fair enough - wasn't sure if they were like magically only needing super little sleep

user15026

@Ktash Second breakfast is important!

Yuki

@Ktash To quote one of the comments, "One does not simply forget about second breakfast."

The Long Dark is ~$10k away from getting funded

Also they partnered with Razer

@MichaelDunfield I'm really interested in RimWorld

/me pokes the SE avatar system with a stick

user15026

Yeah, you still haven't changed for me, and I just refreshed :(

user15026

And I can't tell you if it is because there is a borked up something, or if it is just taking its sweet time in propagating to chat

user15026

if that is the right word

user15026

I have no idea

@ToxicFrog Not much of a difference

11:20 PM

@MBraedley I changed my avatar on SE Gaming, but it hasn't changed on the Bridge despite it listing SE Gaming as the parent profile.

Apparently SE used to support Gravatar, but not anymore or something?

It takes a while.

@Coronus I've seen this, I think. Is this like dwarf fortress in space?

@ToxicFrog Was it only Arqade? Chat might use oldest profile, not associated profile.

user15026

@MBraedley doesnt it use chat parent for that?

@ToxicFrog And Gravatar is still supported, but indirectly I think.

11:21 PM

@MBraedley Parent account.

Okay, I stand corrected.

Gravatar is still fully supported. It just also allows SE's own system.

There's even a blog about it somewhere, I believe.

Okay, so I want to sell another car to the garage but it takes a full game day. Do I need to be logged in with my game on to do this, or can I turn it off, come back in 48 minutes, and sell again? Also, do I have to wait 48 minutes, or will it be at midnight of the following GTA-day that they w...

lan blur

@FEichinger That option doesn't appear for me, only "Indenticon" or "Uploaded Picture"

@MBraedley how?

11:25 PM

@MichaelDunfield Because I don't like SE's system either.

@MBraedley I only changed it on Arqade (although now I've changed it everywhere with "save and copy profile to all SE sites"), but that is my oldest account.

@ToxicFrog Gravatar? Just log into your Gravatar account, maybe, if you didn't already change it with the SE system... which means I'm not sure

Wait, wait, wait... the Wonderland in Once Upon a Time in Wonderland is supposed to be the same one as in Once Upon a Time?

Trolling

Proposed Q&A site for this site is for any part of Trolling. For those who want to prevent trolling, design systems that discourage trolling, or for people who want to successfully troll others.

Closed before being launched.

@MBraedley that's the thing, it IS changed in gravatar! What I can't find is any way to tell SE to use my Gravatar avatar. There are no options anywhere that I can find short of manually uploading the same image I use on Gravatar.

11:27 PM

I guess I'll have to watch the show to see how they resolve the thing about the Queen of Hearts being a different person in each show.

Blog - Stack Exchange: Announcing a new way to change your profile picture

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 …

There we have the blog.

tugs

Steam Controller demo

@Powerlord Yes, it's a spin-off

@ToxicFrog It should work by setting the same email address. What with Gravatar identifying by E-mail.

@MBraedley I figured it'd be set in a different universe.

11:28 PM

@FEichinger You just upload a picture...

@ToxicFrog, wait, isn't there a drop-list that allows you to choose from Gravatar and others?

@MichaelDunfield I ... still don't like the system, though. o.o

@MBraedley Gravatar does not appaer on that list

@FEichinger wait, so SE just takes your email and blindly stuffs it into Gravatar?

@tugs Ugh, the way you have to turn around by swiping repeatedley. Not good.

@ToxicFrog hmm, does for me. Don't know what to tell you.

11:30 PM

...yeah, changed my email to the same one I use on Gravatar and it showed up in the list.

That is stupid.

@ToxicFrog Why is it stupid?

tugs

@MichaelDunfield It's like having a mousepad that's really small

Gravatar identifies by email hash.

@tugs That's horrible...

@MichaelDunfield because there should be some way of telling SE that you want it to use a different email to look up your avatar than the one it uses to send you notifications

11:31 PM

The API is basically "request image for hash, test if get image, show image if it returns"

@ToxicFrog Why though?

For example, if you want SE notifications sent to me+stackexchange@domain but gravatar uses me+gravatar@domain

At minimum this should be documented somewhere

user20683

@MichaelDunfield because options

@ToxicFrog MSO feature-request

user20683

also because gravatar emails are technically public

11:31 PM

MSO?

Also, it's now updated instantly on SE and SX, but still not in chat. Weird.

user20683

@ToxicFrog chat takes time

user20683

different server cluster

Aah

user20683

SE/SO = NYC

user20683

11:32 PM

Chat = Oregon

Also, why is GnomeSlice in the star list talking about bust sizes?

user15026

It's Gnomeslice, it could be for a myriad of reasons

@AshleyNunn The most likely one is that it's just because he's gnomeslice

And that @kalina star is way too tame.

@FEichinger As far as @kalina stars go, I'm going to have to agree

11:40 PM

You can do better, Bridge. You can do better.

user20683

walks in

user20683

better?

Yes, you make everything better anyway, Weston.

M'vy

@MBraedley A quote where she does not set someone/thing on fire? I call fake

@M'vy No, no, she usually gets starred for fire-unrelated things a lot more.

Like saying she is filled with meat.

M'vy

11:42 PM

@FEichinger And she still gets a lot of stars??

user20683

@FEichinger you're not so bad yourself, Frederic.

Ktash

Interesting video on Aspect Ratio

@WorldEngineer Why, thank you.

@M'vy Of course. Any out-of-context innuendo-laden quote should gather at least three stars on the Bridge.

And she posts a lot of them.

/me deploys his pokin' stick

M'vy

hm

11:43 PM

That message on the star list right now? Not even close to the usual stuff.

user15026

@ToxicFrog Hey look you are awesome rainbows now

So, I Streetpassed someone with Pokemon Y today.

The lack of evidence is proof of a coverup; and the fact that something was covered up is proof that there was evidence to begin with.

Did I mention that people changing their avatars are literally worse than Hitler? Because I kinda forgot mentioning that back when I said people who change their names are literally worse than Hitler.

For those who haven't heard of The Trews before, this isn't their typical style, but I still like it:

Q: What do I open the "coalesced.bin" file with, for Mass Effect 3?

I want to access the file to tweak some things, but It doesn't seem to have the right default program to open it because it was "VLC Media Player" when I first went to it. I tried using notepad and microsoft word etc but of course nothing worked, it was all a bunch of symbols. Can you please tell...

@LessPop_MoreFizz What?! No, lack of evidence is not evidence to the contrary.

@MBraedley It's freep. don't expect rationality.

Benghazi has all the “sexy” elements of stories that Americans have usually liked. It’s going to be a great movie when the truth comes out.
