@kalina I get the feeling that this is a Cookie Clicker achievement.

I've only had 2 days of work in the past 17 days.

And now I have to take a train to NYC every day.

@StrixVaria Is it a long train ride?

@Wipqozn About an hour each way.

Then a 15 minute walk in the city.

Longer than I'd want to travel. Ever.

Although if it was for Google...

Any chance of moving closer to the city?

@Wipqozn My current lease is up in February.

I'm going to try to get reading and stuff done on the train though.

I would never take a job where I had to drive an hour each way, but the train shouldn't be too bad.

12:45 AM

@kalina I Hate You.

@StrixVaria On the plus side, Now you get to go to NYC every day! :P

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, I'm trying to make that a positive.

I've always liked being in NYC, but not getting there.

Now I have no choice.

now you can join @LessPop_MoreFizz in telling us that the Pizza there is the best.

I will try to find time to try the pizza within the first few weeks

There's a lot of training to go through, though.

Q: What does the dispenser.tf Exchange button do?

In TF2's automatic trading website, dispenser.tf, what does the "Exchange" button do? It makes you trade with a bot, and how to I buy things from the website?

@BenBrocka Why are you lying to her like that?

user15026

12:56 AM

I keep finding little things it requires to do the needful things and of course i dont have those things so I haveto get them and then i do and then i have to restart when they install

user15026

and also be careful not to bump the laptop and knock the power cable out or the whole thing dies

user20683

Do not tell her to Linux either, it will end badly.

The Hang Drum

@kalina Hahahahahahaha this is the best!

1:22 AM

@RedRiderX Hang Drums are awesome

1:33 AM

@kalina Not sure if this is a bug, but I'm making money without actually having meth in stock.

Anybody here heard of Crawle?

Hey, I'm the top user for fallen-london now!

@RedRiderX Nice!

It's not like there are many people competing for the spot, but still.

There are only 26 questions total.

@Yuki I've been contributing more stuff then ever before since I started playing Fallen London.

@RedRiderX pokemon-sixth-gen only has 31 questions tagged.

1:38 AM

It helped that I got some of the Bridge on playing it.

@Yuki Oh.

@RedRiderX Same for me and pokemon-sixth-gen.

@Yuki And I see that's working out pretty well for you!

feelpanoramical.com

This looks really interesting

@RedRiderX Yeah. I'm surprised that I was able to answer so many questions. I guess getting it on midnight release was worth the rep gain?

@Yuki Totally.

user15026

1:40 AM

@RedRiderX Shiny. You do give kickass answers

Deviljho. shudder

I personally need to work on doing more research for my answers rather than just getting rep through being FGITW.

PANORAMICAL is a series of musical landscapes which transform and morph to your touch.

a growing collaborative album of tangible music.

a place to lay down, relax and play.

@RavenDreamer Hehehe, Deviljho.

@Yuki "Go Hunt 10 Jaggia." Okay. Seems simple enouhfuck.

1:41 AM

@RavenDreamer Monster Hunter does love to troll you.

And then the Guild Sweetheart was all like, "Oh, you don't have to fight him", and I was like, "@#*$ you, I'ma kill this dinosaur!

And then I died to his dragon breath. Twice.

And then his bite, once.

So now I have put the Wii U in timeout.

It knows what it did.

@AshleyNunn Thanks!

"Quest: Hunt a Uragaan. Note: he will be small." Eh, sounds easy enough. Oh god, he only goes up to my knee and hits like a moon!

Thought I think my answers may be getting slightly shorter over time...

@Yuki I did download all the DLC quests this weekend, though, so there's that.

1:44 AM

@Yuki Gee, that tag sure isn't getting a lot of votes overall.

@RavenDreamer Hopefully, I'll be able to hunt with you next weekend now that Pokemon's had some time to cool down.

And I thought Fallen London was a low rep tag.

@kalina I just want to say fuck you a second time for linking this. I have been sucked in. Utterly.

@RedRiderX Yeah, it's the same problem with monster-hunter-3-ultimate.

@Yuki Yeah, but that's, like, Pokemon right?

It's like a thing in America.

Monster Hunter, not so much.

1:46 AM

@RedRiderX The problem is that a lot of Pokemon questions are often answered off-site on bigger, more Pokemon-focused sites.

@RedRiderX Well... Monster Hunter's gaining some momentum. Tri helped a lot in that regard.

@Yuki Ah, I see.

@Yuki True.

Yeah, but we got the google touch.

Which'll help the folks who don't know about Serebii etc.

A: Why do I keep getting swallowed by black goo?

See, now this is one of my long answers:

You have entered the domain of what I like to call the "Swamp Claws"(Since I have no idea what they are actually called). As you have already seen, they love to lurk underground, snatch you up when you least expect it, and spit you out in the same, very inconvenient hole over and over. This for ...

Mostly from the pictures, but still.

You found an extra barrel of meth, with 3,480,000 batches inside! Jesus, how big was that barrel?

@RedRiderX I refrain from pictures for my Pokemon and MH answers, mostly because screenshots are of horrible quality.

@Yuki Yeah, blown up 3DS screen caps aren't pretty.

1:49 AM

@RedRiderX I might think about getting a screen capture device for my Wii U (if they sell those), but MH hasn't been getting many questions lately.

@Yuki Do you know how to upgrade meat ingrediants in MH3U?

@RavenDreamer As in the item or the cafe?

Cafe

Q: Where do I get HM02 Fly in Pokemon X and Y?

0

I am getting tired of running from city to city, so now I am on the quest for HM02. Do I get it through the main story, or is there somewhere I must go non-quest specific?

pokemon pokemon-xy

user15026

MWAHAHAHA despite your best efforts, Microsoft, I got the laptop running win7

user15026

1:50 AM

I feel like a rockstar

@Yuki srsly.

@RavenDreamer If you go through quests, both village and port, you'll eventually see canteen quests that can upgrade the food for you.

@Yuki Oh, is that what the [CANTEEN] tag means?

@RavenDreamer Yep. You can usually tell what food it'll upgrade from the quest description.

How many stars does it go up to? 3?

I'm on *** veggies

1:54 AM

So @kalina was thinking of me with my pants off, eh?

6

@RavenDreamer Yep. 3-stars is max.

And bread I think?

@OrigamiRobot Who doesn't? You're so fancy, you with your top hat.

@OrigamiRobot I was thinking of your facial hair today.

Mostly when I realized that my MH Hunter looks like you with reddish hair.

I asked a question about how to take a screenshot in Hearthstone. I tagged that question with screenshot, but Kalina made a revision removing it. Given Kalina's rep I am going to defer to his judgement, but it did raise some questions in my mind about the tag: When asking about how to take a sc...

I guess I have some re-tagging to do...

2:20 AM

@GnomeSlice This... appears to be some sort of pseudo-documentary about Smash Brothers Melee players.

I have no idea, I can't watch video right now.

ooo

user15026

@GnomeSlice It is kinda dry to me

@AshleyNunn I honestly haven't and can't watch it. I just posted it hoping for the best lol

Dry how?

user15026

in terms of style

@AshleyNunn And with a rather low budget feel.

@AshleyNunn Never thought I'd turn my sister into a massive Whovian when I introduced the show to her.

user15026

I lvoe it and I think it is awesome

also holy balls TSA does not like snowglobes

3:22 AM

@AshleyNunn Now all I need is a brown coat and suit, and we got ourselves some cosplay going on.

user15026

@fbueckert Yes yes yes this should be done

Look, dude, I'm just trying to help you. You're not doing anything but hurting yourself by insisting on these tags. If you want this question re-opened, I'd recommend telling us more about what you're looking for, instead of calling us names. You'll get a much better response. All those extra tags are completely unnecessary. They don't help you at all. — fbueckert 57 secs ago

Well, won't roll it back again, but he's not garnering much in sympathy.

He's....not very happy.

@Wipqozn I just saw it too.

He seems pretty po'ed about something.

@fbueckert Yeah, people shoudl be leaving it alone.

Edit wars are bad wars.

3:27 AM

Can a moderator lock it so he can't edit it anymore?

wait, someone else edited it.

@Wipqozn Which is why I ain't touching it.

Oh, it was gnomeslice.

Wait, what?

Why are you talking about that

Did I do something wrong

@Wipqozn It was @GnomeSlice who doesn't realize that those two tags aren't for the same thing. Now it needs editing again

3:28 AM

Trying to explain that if he wants it reopened, rather than calling us names, telling us more about the problem is a better way of going about it.

@GnomeSlice They were confirming that you edited the question, which was kind of obvious already.

@user56652 If you have a page opened and something is edited you just get a message saying there's been an edit.

You need to refresh to see the changes.

Trent Hawkins

@GnomeSlice I saw this a number of years ago. While I generally agree with his conclusions, I think column A is a little flawed.

@TrentHawkins Oh?

The reason I didn't touch it again is because it would be an edit war. Whether someone else does it, or I do it again, the result is the same: the user gets MORE entrenched, not less.

3:30 AM

Also, how the hell did Rockstar get Nintendo's permission?

Now it just looks like we're ganging up on him.

Unless they're parodying something from Mario Kart.

@fbueckert That'd be the downvotes.

@user56652 Or he's talking about something entirely different, which is much more likely.

Trent Hawkins

@GnomeSlice If "cost $" leads to depression under false, I see no reason that cost would not cause the same depression under true, even if True's disaster scenario were averted.

3:31 AM

@fbueckert Yeah, exactly. You're not supposed to keep making edits once a user rolls it back.

@TrentHawkins Something something sustainability maybe?

It would be money well spent at any rate

But yeah I see what you mean now

If they keep rolling them back just leave the question alone, leave comments if they don't already exist, and maybe flag for moderator for protection.

And that question is no clearer now than when it started.

Why would anyone at all cast a reopen vote on it?

@fbueckert They don't think it should be closed?

@GnomeSlice Yes, but why?

Trent Hawkins

3:34 AM

@GnomeSlice so it's less a 50/50 shot for either disaster scenario with one disaster being objectively worse, it's a 100/50 split. Certainty of a depression vs 50% chance of doomsday.

@TrentHawkins ugh

@Wipqozn I'm not sure worrying about it is constructive.

Are Mario Kart weapons even a thing in GTA?

Googling 'GTA Mario Kart Weapons' turns up a result to that question

Unionhawk

@GnomeSlice That's the thing. We don't have a clue what he's talking about. Tags aside, it's completely unclear what the question is even referring to.

I'm not going to edit it again.

Q: How do you become 'stylish' enough to access Luminose stores: Pokemon X and Y?

0

So upon entering Luminose city, I immediate sought out the clothing store to look at what was offered in this city. I mean, c'mon, it's pokemon with customization? Nuts! But when I entered the store, my character was told she wasn't 'as stylish as she could be', and asked to visit other clothing ...

pokemon-xy

@Lazers Dupe.

3:43 AM

@GnomeSlice There is a racing mode which copies the item use in Mario Kart. You pick up rockets, boosts, repairs, etc... — Glimpse 3 mins ago

@Unionhawk

FFS @GnomeSlice you are completely non-constructive

@OrigamiRobot Thanks.

Just let him keep it, it's not site-wreckingly bad to do that. — GnomeSlice 1 min ago

Getting into fights with new users is non-constructive as well.

We should be teaching people how to use the site, not saying "It's ok, do what you want."

3:44 AM

@GnomeSlice The only user i see getting into any sort of fight with him was doozerblakes comment.

@Wipqozn edit war = fight

@GnomeSlice Oh, you mean the edit war you took part in?

@Wipqozn Yes.

Although I only edited it once.

So not really

so did everyone else who edited it.

Look at the edit history.

Proper tagging is more important that taking the game name out of the title

3:46 AM

IT was edited, then he rolled it back. Frank explained the reason behind the edits and rolled it back again.

Yes, edit wars are bad, that's why I went for the "teach a man to fish" route by showing him meta which you are completely undermining.

If he really wants it like that, let him

Fine.

Comment deleted.

You're basically telling him, "Don't worry, you don't have to listen to meta"

@OrigamiRobot Until the first comment on this thread stops happening (i.e. "which Mario Kart", two votes), your community control mechanisms are clearly being misused. — Glimpse 12 secs ago

huh

Does anyone know how to place a bar like this one in Google Docs?

I'm talking about the grey bar inbetween rows 1 and 2.

3:50 AM

@Wipqozn I could probably have been nicer about it, I suppose.

and thanks to whoever fixed that line, I wasn't intending to move it.

@fbueckert The "look dude" was the only thing I'd say could be removed to "make it nicer

@user56652 My bad, I had never seen one before.

I moved it and then I put it back.

Q: RetroArch - Can I switch GBC core from gambatte to mednafen?

0

So I've been playing GBC games on my Raspberry Pi using the OpenELEC OS. More specifically, I've been playing Shantae using RetroArch's GBC emulator. When I found out that certain features are only available on the Game Boy Advance, I moved the save file to my PC and loaded it into RetroArch. I'...

emulation retroarch gambatte mednafen

As an aside, I ain't touching it again; I've pointed out what he needs to do to earn reopen votes, and we're moving towards that. Slowly, but hopefully he gets it.

@Lazers More tags != better.

Especially tags that you just created.

3:53 AM

@Wipqozn Fun fact: Starting a sentence with "Look" or "Listen" is a great way to make someone want to do the opposite of whatever you're talking about.

@OrigamiRobot That's a nifty fact. Makes sense.

Hence why I said the "look dude" was the only thing he could remove, too.

I'm going to bed.

@Wipqozn Tried that with the first comment. Didn't help any but get called a power hungry moron.

That's at the point where I stop being totally nice.

@fbueckert Oh, I'm not saying you could have made a better outcome.

This guy is obviously in a really bad mood right now.

He hasn't called me a power-hungry moron

3:55 AM

Also, @fbueckert, I think that was directed at everyone, not just you. He said morons, with aplural.

People are/were confused because he himself mentioned Mario Kart. Not because of the first comment.

@fbueckert Yes, correct.

@Wipqozn Granted.

kotekzot was just asking which mario kart game he was talking about, i..e "what do you mean by mario kart?"

Dammit, @Gnome, you're not helping!

3:57 AM

@fbueckert Fuck you

At least I'm trying

Looking at the history, the tag gta-online was never removed. I'm thinking that first comment guy was just joking man. Either that or mentioning 'Mario Kart' threw him off, because Nintendo is well known for keeping their IP close to the chest. — GnomeSlice 1 min ago

What is non-constructive about that?

People are confused because he bloody referred to it as Mario Kart. Look at the first revision.

@GnomeSlice The gta tag was removed

user20683

peeks in

user20683

Everything okay?

@WorldEngineer Just a regular day in the Bridge.

3:59 AM

and kotekzot wasn't joking, like we said. He was trying to find out what he meant by mario kart.

@OrigamiRobot You're right. I checked. Weird that I missed that.

@fbueckert He said "Mario Kart mode" and his question had the gta tag (and gta in the title) It was pretty obviously about gta.

@WorldEngineer Did something get flagged?

user20683

@GnomeSlice Not that I can tell, just happened by, saw swearing. Figured I'd check in.

@OrigamiRobot Which the third edit then killed the gta tag.

4:00 AM

@fbueckert Honest mistake.

Unionhawk

And @OrigamiRobot, for the most constructive comment in that thread

@fbueckert Which was a bad edit. It really should have stopped at the first edit. (minus the platform tags)

@OrigamiRobot Indeed. I agree that was a crappy edit.

Either way, I'm going to bed now. G'night!

If your karma is negative (now I have -50) will you for example: get bad luck? achieve less bonus points when studying books (like the one for the small guns, or first aid)? get more chances of dying? different dialogues? But the important question to answer is... what changes can this make ...
