2:00 AM

Nakedness aside, time to head to sleep, goodnight all.

Fluttershy

Why are we talking about a naked @Wipqozn?

ElfSlice

Is there a hat for getting flagged?

Private Pansy

Only for you, @elf

I mean, all I did was a search. That was just the one that popped out to me.

ElfSlice

@balpha is there an "I hate hats" hat? Like an actual sign? If not, why not?

I wish the stupid badge page in Steam said the name of the game and not just the name of the badge

Q: How Do I Collect Redstone Ore in Minecraft PE?

Is this supposed to happen when mining Redstone ore in mine craft PE Every time I try to mine Redstone ore in mine craft PE it won't let me collect it It lights up the room and then turns dark again Deletes the block when I hit it

kalina

@MBraedley wow, @FAE is naked a lot

Q: How do I collect redstone on iOS?

I have found redstone and have tried using stone, iron and diamond pickaxes to mine it but I can't collect anything. I'm playing survival mode on my iPhone. How can I collect anything from this redstone?

ios minecraft-pocket-edition

Which, BTW, means there's another question that needs closing as dupe.

FAE

@kalina You are apparently naked more.

kalina

many of those have the word "naked" alongside "is not" or similar

@FEichinger thinks I'm naked

Fluttershy

2:14 AM

FEichinger

... Great.

Raven Dreamer

@FAE I enjoy how you threw a @Wipqozn in there, just to mix it up.

Fluttershy

EVERYBODY'S NAKED

ElfSlice

@Fluttershy wtf why doesn't mine have that

FAE

@ElfSlice It loads slow sometimes, so it's probably your connection.

kalina

2:15 AM

NAKED IS... wait, what?

MBraedley

@FAE Yes, but you have a higher naked star

ElfSlice

@FAE Why does it take so long to load the game title?

FAE

@RavenDreamer I was trying to scar @agent86 for life.

Fluttershy

@ElfSlice VTC: Why did the devs design it this way.

kalina

guys naked, except for socks, is a traumatising thing to see

FAE

2:16 AM

@ElfSlice It has to go through and load every single game on your list that has badges. I'm not sure where the bottleneck would be exactly.

FEichinger

@kalina Because of the "except for socks" part?

MBraedley

@kalina I don't know, with the right girl I think it's sexy.

kalina

yes

FAE

@kalina Depends on where the sock is?

kalina

men wearing just socks look like giant chickens

FEichinger

2:17 AM

@kalina Then I agree-- what the heck, @FAE?

Fluttershy

That was my second star on 10 chat messages. Where is my hat!?

kalina

@Fluttershy chat hats take ages to appear

FEichinger

WHY AM I NOT GETTING STARRED?! BORING BRIDGE IS BORING.

FAE

@FEichinger Hey, if it's good enough for the Red Hot Chili Peppers...

ElfSlice

@FAE LOL

kalina

2:17 AM

@FAE well true

MBraedley

@MBraedley Say something star-worthy! We don't star things just for the sake of starring them.

FEichinger

@MBraedley I say many star-worthy things!

Fluttershy

@FAE That's the motto I like to live by. "If it's good enough for Flea, it's good enough for me!"

ElfSlice

RedRiderX

Graveyard shifts are so much fun :P

MBraedley

2:18 AM

ooh, thanks whoever that was

Unionhawk

@FEichinger Apparently not.

@Braiam Nice.

I'm a Elf!

@Unionhawk I do, the Bridge is just too boring to star them!

kalina

2:19 AM

@Braiam you're link

ElfSlice

NO I'M AN ELF

kalina

...

@ElfSlice you are a slice of elf

ElfSlice

Also your ears are attached to your forehead.

Sconibulus

that's usually gnome pieces...

RedRiderX

@MBraedley This has more stars then the original.

Braiam

2:19 AM

uhhhh... that hurts... not even a half elf...

Sconibulus

does this mean that elf is a variety of gnome?

or is gnome a variety of elf?

MBraedley

@RedRiderX I know, which is awesome

Braiam

@ElfSlice you noticed, huh?

ElfSlice

@Braiam It's kind of hard to miss :P

holy crap my internet is bad right now

FAE

Okay, sleep for real, goodnight Bridge, enjoy your nudity.

RedRiderX

2:22 AM

@ElfSlice It wasn't before?

I'm sorry that was just too easy.

ElfSlice

@RedRiderX Worse than usual!

FEichinger

I am not naked, because I'm a decent person and you're all filthy perverts.

Unionhawk

That's a bigger lie than when @kalina says that.

2

ElfSlice

Also, if any of you loved the original Mario Kart, Super World Karts GP needs your help!

FEichinger

Not true at all.

Unionhawk

2:23 AM

And you know it.

It's half-true at best.

Somebody watch this and tell me if it looks good

Unionhawk

@FEichinger I'll give you the "I'm not naked" part, since... yeah. But "I'm a decent person and you're all filthy perverts" ...no.

FEichinger

@Unionhawk I am a decent person!

And you are all filthy perverts!

None of it is wrong!

... I think I need a drink, I'm actually starting to sound like @kalina.

Braiam

@FEichinger whereas people says they are "decent person"s, is normally self-deluding

kalina

2:26 AM

I am normal

absolutely nothing wrong with me... at all

Braiam

oh @kalina you know that you are not object of desire?

2

Unionhawk

See, the implication that "you" = the set of all people in the bridge that isn't @FEichinger is what makes it totally erroneous and inaccurate.

kalina

shrug

ElfSlice

You guys are weird.

3

kalina

we need to find a question to reopen

QUICK

LET'S REOPEN SOMETHING

Unionhawk

2:27 AM

@ElfSlice NO U

Fluttershy

@ElfSlice It does not.

Braiam

@kalina then close it again (jk)

kalina

guys, we just got called weird by GNOMESLICE.

4

ElfSlice

@Fluttershy Oh. Bummer.

Unionhawk

@kalina Achievement get?

I'm not sure if I should be proud of that or not.

kalina

2:28 AM

@Unionhawk the world should end up something

MBraedley

At this rate, we're going to burn through all our stars in a couple hours.

Unionhawk

Meh

kalina

our recently closed questions are all really bad

Braiam

sometimes I want to say to (new) users: FAQ YOU!

FEichinger

That's kinda the point of stars.

Braiam

2:29 AM

/me reviewing stuff

Unionhawk

I'll be away soon, I need to use all my stars while I can

ElfSlice

wait I've definitely posted that before

Braiam

common guys, you have until NEW YEARS EVE (and a bit more) to get all the hats

Fluttershy

HATS ARE IMPOSSIBLE!

ElfSlice

@kalina Done.

MBraedley

@kalina Does it work from chat?

kalina

@Sconibulus hats are easy

@MBraedley I just need unique views

for silver badge

and silver hat

Sconibulus

@kalina no

FEichinger

@MBraedley It should be IP/view-based.

Sconibulus

2:32 AM

Haikus are easy

Braiam

@Sconibulus I almost have to do nothing...

kalina

@Sconibulus they are easy

Sconibulus

but sometimes they don't make sense

MBraedley

@FEichinger I thought it was sharing reasons

kalina

would you like some help?

FEichinger

2:32 AM

@Sconibulus Stop it.

That one is old.

ElfSlice

omg the 'old hat' even suits my avatar, it's all pixelly

kalina

FEichinger

@MBraedley Even then, it should be IP/link-based, not origin-based.

kalina

Sconibulus

2:33 AM

@FEichinger I was intending to leave it like that, incompleted, forevers.

Unionhawk

go figure @kalina is farming hats

FEichinger

@Sconibulus No you were not. You were going to finish it. And feel all smug about sneaking in a haiku.

kalina

yes

Unionhawk

or whatever

kalina

hat farming is the best

FEichinger

2:33 AM

@Unionhawk I literally just said that to her.

Braiam

WHATEVER IS FINE!

FEichinger

This is awkward.

ElfSlice

I'm the best at hats, I got mine to work in chat.

Sconibulus

@FEichinger why would I feel smug about that?

FEichinger

@Sconibulus I DUNNO, YOU JUST WOULD!

MBraedley

2:34 AM

@FEichinger But shares I think are only counted for award thingies if they have a referral link outside of SE

Sconibulus

@FEichinger I'd have felt better making everone wait for no raison

kalina

raison you say

Braiam

the one that finds The Bridge awkward is because it is in the wrong chat!

ElfSlice

What's with all the nautical themed hats?

Upboated, Marauder, Do the Swim, Boater

FEichinger

@MBraedley I'm not sure on that. It would make sense, but it'd also be overly complicated for just "your user-ID tagged link was clicked"

Braiam

@ElfSlice you need to read the "many memes of stackoverflack"

MBraedley

@FEichinger That was the case for Diablo 3 and ME3 contests

Unionhawk

I refuse to have any part in these hat-farming shenanigans.

ElfSlice

There should be a pointy Gnome hat for getting banned.

kalina

ElfSlice

...For no reason whatsoever.

kalina

@ElfSlice if they did this, you'd complain loudly

Unionhawk

If I acquire imaginary internet stars, or imaginary internet hats, fine. But I am not going to go out of my way to acquire them.

ElfSlice

@kalina You're right.

Braiam

@Unionhawk again, I have to do nothing to get the hats :P

This game is ridiculous.

Unionhawk

@ElfSlice instructions unclear: weak point not indicated by a red freehand circle

@kalina How do you get the three hats hat?

kalina

get three hats

MBraedley

2:46 AM

Oh, well then I should have another hat

kalina

maybe

it could have been coincidence

I performed so many actions so quickly at the start

it could be get hats on 3 different sites

Unionhawk

@kalina No, that's not it because I have 4

Yuki

Huh. I'm surprised that the star list contains no mention of hats.

Bravo, Bridge.

kalina

it must be that

those are the actions I took to get that hat

MBraedley

Does it tell you in the flavour text? All it says for me is that it's a secret hat.

A: How do I earn the Johnny Three-hats hat?

The Johnny Three-hats hat is earned by earning three other hats, after the start of Winter Bash. Hats earned before Winter Bash starts, that you already have at the start of the event, do not count.

MBraedley

Ah, so I have 2 hats from before the start of winterbash. Now I need to earn another.

ElfSlice

this hat sucks

it's not even a hat

Sconibulus

it's a cat wearing a het that you can maybe use as a hat for double hatting

Yuki

2:53 AM

@ElfSlice Yeah, you can't even read the first word properly because of the claws.

Braiam

@ElfSlice IS A THE MASK!

Yuki

I mean it could be "chatty", but it could also be "catty". Or something else.

ElfSlice

It's chatty

Braiam

kalina

I am testing something, would somebody be so kind as to upvote this answer - the reason is, the Winterbash page doesn't mention the answer had to be posted during Winterbash for the guru hat and I want to test if this is actually the case!

@FEichinger maybe, but if it's +40 upvotes during winterbash, I doubt it will be possible on our meta

if it isn't, then some people will get it for sure

FEichinger

@kalina It will be pretty impossible on our meta either way - even with existing answers below the threshold.

Not to mention doing that sounds really cruel.

Q: Map specific strategy

For race verses race strategies, the "meta-game" changes with time. I can understand that. But often when watching VODs with announcers they say "oh! that is a good strategy for this map" or perhaps the opposite leading me to believe that some maps are good for some strategies and bad for other...
