5:00 PM

I suspect that at least a bit of my issues with learning was that I didn't have something that I clicked with in terms of learning style, but codeacademy works for me.

user15026

I am a sucker for meaningless internet points.

Q: Messages of lives from friends

Q: More than 1 Specialized or Professional Killstreak set

If you have more than 1 professional killstreak set (say one for the market gardener and one for the rocket launcher) and you have 5 or more kills, will your eyes show 2 effects? Similarly will your weapons show 2 different effects as well?

steam team-fortress-2

I should try code academy

LessPop_MoreFizz

It's a special sort of low that you hit,when you've plagiarized from Yahoo Answers.

@AshleyNunn It does improve the whole process. :P

user15026

5:01 PM

@RedRiderX It really does!

user15026

@SaintWacko I totally recommend it.

@SaintWacko Yeah I hear they have Ruby courses too now...

I should maybe give it a spin again.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz facedesk

@LessPop_MoreFizz ...wow. I'd heard about the other part but not the potential apology plagiarism too.

@LessPop_MoreFizz So he tried to make up for plagiarizing by... plagiarizing some more?

5:06 PM

@AshleyNunn I forgot... which game am I bugging you about this week... Zelda? Phoenix Wright?

999?

That's like shooting someone in the head as an attempt to heal a gunshot wound...

user15026

@Powerlord Haha well, I have Zelda, don't have Phoenix Wright, and haven't touched 999 in a long time, so take your pick, depending on how you want to bother me :P

@AshleyNunn So, get any farther in Zelda yet?

Hey, just to be clear, SOM PR Finder is accessible outside my network, right?

user15026

@Powerlord No - I am stuck on a boss (story of my life, also why I am not playing Oracle of Ages or M&L Dream Team)

@Powerlord Yup.

5:09 PM

@AshleyNunn Ew. Which boss?

user15026

@Powerlord I can access it, if that is what you are asking

user15026

@Powerlord The Swamp temple thing one.

@JasonBerkan Good. I wanted to make sure I wasn't linking to the dev copy... I need to link to that app on another one of our public facing apps.

@AshleyNunn Oh yeah, that one was kinda annoying.

user15026

I die a lot in this game. A LOT.

Home. Wheee.

5:10 PM

@AshleyNunn Have you bought the items from Rovio outright instead of renting them?

user15026

@Powerlord Yeah, because going back ALL THE TIME was driving me mad, so I spent a while grinding Rupees so I could buy all the things.

@AshleyNunn Have you been finding the Maimais around too?

@SaintWacko It's not called Code Academy. >.<

user15026

HELL YES NO MORE USING COLOUR WORDS YES YES YES (I still disagree fundamentally with a lot of the names that HTML gives to colours so getting to just use codes makes me feel better)

user15026

@Powerlord As much as I can, yup

5:12 PM

@FEichinger It isn't?

user15026

@FEichinger OH MY GOD THERE IS NO A

user15026

I JUST REALIZED THAT

@AshleyNunn Exactly.

user15026

@FEichinger My mind is blown

Oh, it isn't. Whoops.

kicks Google

5:13 PM

I know it seems a bit nitpicky of me to mention this (repeatedly).

But there used to be something called "Code Academy".

user15026

@FEichinger I never noticed til now.

Q: GTAV online insured car

My insured car was destroyed by an online player but when i call the insurance company they do not answer my called and when i call my mechanic, the car is their but it is in brackets (destroyed). Is their any possible way for me to get it back???

grand-theft-auto-5 gta-online

it would probably be said as code academy though

Well, it doesn't help that Google doesn't tell you it's spelled differently. If you search for code academy, that's the first result.

@Sconibulus "Codecademy"? Would never pronounce it with an A there.

Anyway, the aforementioned former "Code Academy" was a horribly expensive, barely recognized paid course thingy.

5:14 PM

@FEichinger you wouldn't? How would you pronounce it?

user15026

@Powerlord yeah, which is why I thought that's how it was

@AshleyNunn Hmm... have you upgraded your sword to higher levels yet?

@Sconibulus Code-cademy. No need for an a in there.

user15026

@Powerlord I don't think so

Oh... you split it that way

I figured it was codec ademy

5:15 PM

@AshleyNunn Like Link to the Past, you can upgrade the Master Sword twice.

But it takes 2... Smith Ores, I think they're called... to do so.

user15026

@Powerlord Oh, yeah, I don't have those

3 of those are located in dungeons, 1 is in a hidden part of the overworld.

@Powerlord Well, it is what people were really looking for, every time they typed in Code Academy and skipped the crappy one first.

So I can see how that happens. But still, no A there.

user15026

I assume there are many places on the internet I can look up the codes for colours so I dont have to memorize them?

@AshleyNunn Hex codes?

5:18 PM

@AshleyNunn Lots of them. But you should also learn forming them in your mind.

user15026

@FEichinger forming them in my mind? Do they have some sort of logic pattern?

@AshleyNunn First two characters are Red, second two are Green, third two are Blue.

user15026

@FEichinger .....*mind blown*

0 to 255 (=FF)

Mmm, hexadecimal.

5:19 PM

Q: What is the rate of credits earned from stock?

Do different businesses sell stock at different rates? If they are the same, what is the inventory rate sold per hour?

tiny-death-star

@AshleyNunn And all three the same is a shade of grey.

user15026

This is fantastic.

@AshleyNunn I can tell you roughly which colour it is, just through the hexcode.

user15026

@FEichinger You are secretly a magician or something aren't you?

@AshleyNunn No, I have just spent way too much time doing this.

5:20 PM

@AshleyNunn Anyway, there's also blue armor in one of the dungeons in Link Between Worlds... the only hint I can give you is that it's in the same spot that it is in Link to the Past.

I'm horrible with colours, though. I tend to just keep paint open and drag around the colour wheel until I find what I want, convert it to RGB hex and done.

#5588aa is a light sky blue, for instance.

user15026

@Powerlord Which I don't remember because that was a long time ago :P

Or I get a highly paid web designer to come up with the colours for me.

#eecc33 is a slightly greyish yellow.

#f8f8f8 is a nice almost-white for backgrounds.

user15026

5:22 PM

....WHY IS COMIC SANS CURSIVE

user15026

WHY IS IT EVEN HERE

user15026

YUCK

@AshleyNunn Wait, what?

user15026

@Powerlord I said to my stylesheet "make this header in a cursive font"

user15026

and it went OKAY HERE COMIC SANS FOR YOOOOU

5:23 PM

Well, technically Comic Sans is supposed to be scribble-handwriting, so it would count as cursive.

user15026

I am so confused

user15026

@FEichinger thats dumb it is ugly I dont want it

@AshleyNunn Then ... change it back?

user15026

@FEichinger I can't, then the lesson doesn't pass tests

user15026

I just like whining

5:25 PM

Actually, I think that's even a(n inaccessible) browser setting.

user15026

@FEichinger What is?

@AshleyNunn font-family: cursive behaviour.

The browser picks a font from the pool of "cursive" fonts, usually that's by default the most widespread (by far Comic Sans), or whatever the OS delivers.

Most browsers allow overriding default behaviour for serif, sans-serif and monospace, but not for cursive.

user15026

@FEichinger its weird they don't allow that one to change.

@AshleyNunn Hardly anyone uses font-family: cursive, because handwritten/script fonts are utterly useless on the Internet.

user15026

@FEichinger Fair enough.

5:29 PM

It's getting more common with better font styling nowadays (text logos are becoming actual text now), but then the author usually supplies a font, instead of letting the browser pick.

Q: What should I wish for?

The Christmas tree is asking me to choose a wish. I can choose a multiplier or more wishes. What's the best option?

user15026

I am learning ALL THE THINGS :D

user15026

(seriously, you guys are awesome)

@AshleyNunn I posted where some helpful items are in this chat room (no idea why it's not an Arqade room...)

chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/12032/zelda-a-link-between-worlds

@Powerlord I think you need an Arqade account to create Arqade rooms.

user15026

5:35 PM

@Powerlord Awesomesauce. :D I will peek at it as I need.

@FEichinger Maybe. Although I have accounts on other sites and it just created an SO room anyway.

@Powerlord Could be that it defaults to your parent account (SO) if it doesn't find an account for the one you're trying to make.

Who's got two thumbs and is enjoying 70 degree Florida weather? ME

@FEichinger Hmm, possibly.

(that's approximately not-cold for those of you who don't understand Fahrenheit)

5:37 PM

"PR1 is not a valid PR Number" Good, it gave me the correct error... but bad, it cleared half the form's fields.

user15026

@Unionhawk thank you :)

Hello all

@FEichinger I'm pretty sure that it uses the parent account, I was tricked by that as well some time ago. And the rules for changing the parent site for chat rooms are rather annoying, so it's pretty hard to change it to the proper site later

@boo This is slightly maddening to me because I can understand a lot of it by virtue of knowing Dutch but I can't understand all of it, so it makes my brain feel all stretchy.

@FAE I only understand a smattering of German, so it just sounds like nonsense to me

5:42 PM

@boo They do the same kind of noun gluing in Dutch as well.

Mechanical Loon

I've heard this tongue twister before.

Never actually spoken, though.

@MechanicalLoon The eloquence of the narrator was quite breathtaking

Mechanical Loon

@boo It's actually fairly understandable.

@MechanicalLoon Yes, I can understand it despite almost non-existent German

@StrixVaria Did you get your holidays confused? This is Hannukah/Christmas time, not Halloween.

5:52 PM

Hannukah's been over a while.

Q: What does a hero truly need?

That is the best question ever ! I would like to read your opinion !

@FAE True, but name changes stick for a month.

Also, hey chat

@Powerlord Can always reassociate a different account to chat.

@Lazers SLOW

> 2 unclear votes

duplicate votes please, the duplicate is here

Kevin van der Velden

(#%&(@& WHY DO I KEEP TYPING OBJECTIVE WHEN I MEAN OPINION BASED

Second time today

How are my fellow proletarians doing today?

Kevin van der Velden

@Powerlord not everyone here is a proletarian, but I'm doing fine, how are you? :)

6:04 PM

@KevinvanderVelden because opinions are objective

Kevin van der Velden

@3ventic no, it is because my brain is stupid and dumb and wants to sleep

No they're not. They're subjective.

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk also that is the word I mean, not the other word I'm not typing

@Arperum It's not really good form to post an answer on a duplicate question linking to the question it's a duplicate of's answer. It can make it look like one is trying to gain rep off another person's work.

@FAE I'll make it CW, I had a wrong answer there.

6:07 PM

Also, I can sort of see the case for that one being unclear over opinion based. I disagree with that case, but I can see it.

@FAE It's CW now.

@Arperum Ah, gotcha

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk which one, mine? The one that specifically states "I would like to read your opinion!"

@Unionhawk "Unclear" implies "We want you to make this question clearer so we can try to answer it for you" and that is not the case here. No matter how much the asker defines the scope of what they're asking for in this case, it will still be unacceptable because it's opinion-based.

Yup. The argument being that it could be an extremely poorly worded strategy question.

6:10 PM

Are we arguing over close reasons? That's one of my favorite things to do!

@AshleyNunn You! You need to get onto Steam!

@Unionhawk Then the asker still has time to make the question more gameplay/mechanics related than opinions. :D

True. The scope needs to be limited too. Currently, it's basically moba

Are we talking about that Dota 2 question asking for opinions?

@Frank I think so, it's even just asking opinions about the trailer, and not really about the game.

6:18 PM

I still have a free copy of Defender's Quest to give away!

Just need to contact me on Steam.

All moba questions should be off topic

@kalina This

They're just gibberish

There's a fine line between "opinion questions" and "strategy questions".

@Frank Looking it up, if it looks interesting I'll see if I can find you on steam.

@Frank I assume you are fbueckert on steam?

@Arperum Nope

6:28 PM

@Frank Well dammit, there exists one.

@Arperum There...does?

goes checking

@Frank Yup.

@Arperum "There are no players or groups by that name"

Kevin van der Velden

Them, gamedev.se is really slow with reviewing close votes, there've been 10+ for the last 3 days

Is it the fad to suddenly change names here?

6:30 PM

user image

@Powerlord We just have a lot of people who are literally worse than Hitler.

Kevin van der Velden

@Powerlord naah, fbueckert was tired of everyone thinking his name was pronounced as f*ckbert

@KevinvanderVelden I still prefer fluckbert.

It has a funny sound to it. "fluckbert"

user image

I suppose it could be me.

You could just link to your profile, you know.

Kevin van der Velden

6:33 PM

@Frank why are you adding quotes? Are there quotes in your name?

@FEichinger Where's the fun in that? :P

@KevinvanderVelden Steam's doing it automatically.

Kevin van der Velden

@Frank Huh, that's weird, does the same thing for me

Anyways, this is me on Steam.

@Frank Might be some artifact from Fragmax? one of Amir's steam accounts and you changed the name in-game and it carried over?

@TrentHawkins I don't recall changing the name of any of the Steam accounts.

6:38 PM

@Frank Wouldn't have guessed that.

@Arperum There's a story behind that.

That dates back to my high school days.

I was looking through the friend list of Origami Robot, but that name didn't say me anything.

@Frank I've sent you a friend invite.

(I'm Arperum on steam)

@Arperum would say "didn't mean anything to me", "dat zegt me niks" doesn't translate literally :)

I'm Jennifer Lopez on Steam.

Does anybody know when Frozen is going out of theatres?

6:41 PM

@Yuki It came out pretty recently, didn't it?

Kevin van der Velden

@FAE hmm, a literal translation (nl->en) would work, you just have to pick a synonym of say (specifically tell)

@FAE Ah, I could've sworn I heard one of the songs two or three weeks ago, so I was worried it was going out of theatres soon.

user image

@KevinvanderVelden That'd work better, yeah.

Why thank you, Github, I do play Zelda!

6:43 PM

@Powerlord What on earth is that?

@SaintWacko The GitHub mascot wearing a Link costume.

It appeared on my GitHub notifications page after I cleared out my notifications.

@Yuki It released Nov 27th in the US, so hasn't been out a month yet. I'd imagine it'd maintain its popularity through Christmas.

@FAE I have a habit of doing horrible things to languages, I can't always cover it up.

@Arperum Haha, s'all good. If you'd rather I not correct anything, that's fine!

@Yuki More importantly, when is it coming out on DVD/Blu-Ray?

6:45 PM

@FAE Oh no, please keep correcting me.

@Yuki I want to see it but I'd have to go to another city to do so. :( It's not showing in English in mine.

@Arperum I don't want to come off as condescending or something.

21 hours ago, by Powerlord

This song?

Or maybe the non-movie single of it they released months in advance?

@FAE You don't, I know I make a ton of errors, if someone points me at them I can try to not make that error again. If noone does, I will make it again.

@Arperum Okies. :)

i'm sorry if it's a repost..

6:49 PM

@Powerlord Huh, that must have been where I heard it. Honestly, I prefer the movie version.

@Yuki That's because the movie version is by Idina Menzel <3

@Powerlord Who is that?

@FAE Elphaba from the original version of Wicked.

Idina Kim Menzel (; born Mentzel on May 30, 1971) is an American actress, singer, and songwriter. She rose to prominence for her performance as Maureen Johnson in the Broadway musical Rent, a role which she reprised for the 2005 feature film adaptation. In 2004, she won the Tony Award for originating the role of Elphaba in the Broadway blockbuster Wicked. In 2014, she will be returning to Broadway in the musical If/Then. Menzel is also known for her portrayal of Shelby Corcoran, the biological mother of Lea Michele's character Rachel Berry, on the Fox musical comedy-drama series Glee, and...

@Powerlord Ooooh, that's why I've heard her name before.

She also had a bit part in Disney's Enchanted.

I still think it'd be funny if they'd cast Idina Menzel as the new villain on Once Upon A Time. #WickedIsComing

6:52 PM

@Jin I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!

user image

@Powerlord I want to say that face looks familiar but all the green and makeup makes me hesitant to say who.

They announced who it is and now I can't temember.

Trying to find out now.

Q: How can I use the radio when not in a car?

I stole a car, and used the RB and LB buttons to turn on the radio and tune it to The Mix 107.77. I then started running over pedestrians at high speeds while singing along with Haddaway's What Is Love. Unfortunately, while swerving to try to hit someone who appeared to be dressed like a cat, I r...

I just posted a question which mentions Haddaway's What Is Love. Special. For @ElfSlice

6:55 PM

@Powerlord Demi Lovato's version sounds good, I'm not disputing that. It's just that I don't think she had as much time as Idina Menzel to understand the character, so the song feels... off.

Once Upon a Time doesn't return until March though.

Rebecca Mader

She was the redhead on the last season or two of Lost

@Jin Already so on it

@Sterno Yeah, her.

She always has a "Stop annoying me" expression on her face

6:59 PM

Burn

@Frank Thanks again for the free game!
