Man, cats are adorable.

Q: How do I perform a high speed car jack?

kalinaThere is a control called "Active Hijack" which I have got bound to Q. This button makes me open my car door while I'm driving and as I pass cars an arrow highlights indicating I can jump onto that car, presumably to hijack it. However, when I press the jump key, I faceplant into the back of t...

 
@Wipqozn They're barn cats though, so I'll have to wait until day, and they're in a place that isn't gross.
 
12:18 AM
My cat is currently outside, I assume she's murdering things.
 
@Ullallulloo Oh right, you live on a farm.
 
I was watching a movie with my sister and our cat joined us
I didn't realise just how much I missed her.
 
@badp The cat or the sister?
 
The cat, obviously
Sisters are much better at voice over IP than cats
 
12:27 AM
@badp True.
 
@badp You should join us in our sharing of car pictures.
 
Picture from last week. Walda likes laying in my neck.
 
@Arperum Starbound?
 
@Wipqozn Yup.
Didn't play much yet though.
 
Don't think you could with a cat on your back
 
12:40 AM
O_o
 
FAE
@TimStone sunshower!
 
...
 
@TimStone raining
 
@FAE That's the only one I would have felt comfortable with had I not decided that I don't really call that anything special.
The others are insane.
 
FAE
@TimStone It's the term I learned as a kid. And yeah, the others are weird.
 
12:43 AM
Heh, I see an angry eagle-like-face in my map. And since I live in Delaware and was born in Texas, I suppose that turned out as expected.
 
user15026
Predictably, the cities I am most like are all near the Ontario border.
 
FAE
I assume this is from that same survey that was published this fall
 
The latest episode of MLP was pretty good. Superhero comics parody and stuff.
 
FAE
Haven't watched yet
 
Huh, SpaceChem on GOG.com just got updated
Oh, it's for the OS X version
 
12:55 AM
hey guys
my brother has to have surgery tonight. I could use some happy thoughts or prayers, if that's your thing
it was really unexpected
I'm about to leave but I could use some positive energy <3
 
Gah, I'm sorry to hear that. :( I hope everything goes smoothly though, best of luck to you and your brother!
 
user15026
@spugsley Will do, darling. Best of luck to him, and I hope everything goes well
 
FAE
@spugsley Good luck to your brother and I wish him a swift recovery!
 
thanks everyone. I'll be back with updates when I can. <3
 
@spugsley I hope for the best!
 
1:06 AM
HEy look, it's @John!
MErry Christmas!
 
@Wipqozn Merry Christmas :D
 
@John is alive! :D Yay!
 
@Fluttershy I am! :D
 
@Fluttershy Would you like this corrected?
 
@OrigamiRobot D: No!
 
1:17 AM
@John Merry Christmas!
 
@Ullallulloo Merry Christmas! :D
 
@John You don't have a hat.
 
@Wipqozn This is true.
Haven't really hung around enough to get one
Oh wait
It says I've got like 10 of them o.O
Heehee, I have six "Old Hat"s from my A51-stalking days..
 
"Starforge" is on sale, get excited, go to buy it and then see screenshots. I wanted "Starbound".
4
Good thing I looked at the screenshots.
 
I wouldn't expect Starbound to go on sale yet, it is still too new and sells too good to go on a sale already.
 
1:28 AM
It seems like 3D Starbound tbh
 
@Arperum it's already been on sale
 
@kalina Wut.
 
ye, first day of the sale
 
@kalina You sure? I don't think so.
 
I bought it because it was on sale
same day as monaco
 
1:31 AM
@kalina Did not notice that, I have it already, so I don't need it anymore thoguh.
 
@kalina Ugh really? Maybe it'll find the flash sales then.
 
I am currently watching William Shatner back from 2003 talking in-depth about horses... I am not sure how I reached this point.
 
Super Hexagon is 0.59$ on Humble Store... Seems like a steal deal
 
@3ventic That game is so good.
 
Already have it on my phone though
 
1:35 AM
@3ventic It's on sale until 2nd january on steam too, for the same price

Q: Unable to flag upvoted comments

IQAndreasOnce you have upvoted a comment, it is no longer possible to flag it. If you have upvoted a comment in the past, it's likely not going to be spam or offensive, however, you may later want to mark a comment as obsolete.

Q: What's the best background wall tile for pixel art?

GigazelleI'd like to paint a pixel art mural using the Paint Roller. I would like to use a background with the least amount of texture "noise" so the colors of the pixel art stands out the most. To illustrate, here are several pre-hardmode background tiles painted sky blue: (cactus, dirt, mahogany, bon...

That question is seriously open?
 
@Arperum You do get it on pc and android though.
 
@RedRiderX Didn't even know it existed as an android game too.
 
I now know that William Shatner has a riding performance event named after him.
What am I even doing

What am I even doing
 
1:41 AM
evening
americans have around 19 o clock now right?
 
I'm back!
 
@MBraedley wb
 
and slightly drunk
 
why is @Wizliz never in chat
 
blame the 11% beer on that
 
1:42 AM
@MBraedley sounds like bavarian beer
 
Belgian style strong and dark
 
hmm not sure if i tasted belgian beer before
sounds good^^
 
it's from one of the local micro breweries.
 
21 hours ago, by Mechanical Loon
i'm slightly drunk
 
@MBraedley Which beer?
 
1:45 AM
@MechanicalLoon someone said that before you this past day or 2
 
@MBraedley I wasn't trying to say "first"; it was more like "I know the feeling."
@Wandang Who is @Wizliz and who are you?
 
@Arperum bridge brewing company in Halifax. They don't have any distribution beyond growlers though.
 
since i live near belgium i should try it soon
 
@MBraedley Since you mentions "Belgian style", I assumed it was some beer from over here, A "style" isn't really there though, there are over 1k kinds of Belgian beers...
 
halifax is a building i write exams in
:D
@MechanicalLoon i am who i am and wizliz is a pony that is also interested in dota and my answers :)
 
1:48 AM
nono, I picked this up from across the bridge earlier this afternoon. I didn't fly across the Atlantic to get some beer
 
@MBraedley It is exported here and there :)
 
@kalina sweet ears
 
arg, raspberry pi doesn't like me getting permalinks

Q: Gaming Bitcoin by generating millions of wallets

robWhat’s to stop someone from gaming the system and creating millions of wallets, increasing their odds of accidental deposits? If nothing else you could conceive of a DOS attack of sorts, where the addresses are all burned up. This seems like a major flaw to me... regardless of how many possibil...

 
@GamingTopicsFromOutside GTFO
 
1:52 AM
@GamingTopicsFromOutside downvote because it's not about gaming
 
@MBraedley I must have missed that, I blame nearly 3 AM.
Also, my 1K estimate I found seems to be horribly low. i just found some list that says it contains 2367 unique Belgian beers.
Some other list mentions ~3.7k, but the website looks terrible.
 
is artemis free2play as a demo?
@Wipqozn
otherwise i will pass since i dont know if it will be fun
 
@Wandang I don't think so.
I've never played it either.
We probably won't be playing until the new year.
 
@Arperum that could be all Belgium style, not just beers produced in Belgium
 
I'm not even going to bother try to organize something before. It'll just be too hard with the different timezones plus holidayd.
 
1:57 AM
yes
Artemis Demo: The demo of Artemis will allow you to take control of the Helm and Weapons consoles. NOTE: If the demo doesn’t work on your computer, neither will the full version.
if you still need crew and those are still free i would participate.
 
@MBraedley The website says they are all Belgian beers though. I don't see how Belgian beer has a style though, there are all kinds of beers, you mentioned dark and strong, there are a lot of white/blond/whatever it is called in English beers too.
 
@Arperum It's mainly a distinction for north american breweries that do various european style beers.
 
Strong seems to be a point though, I'd assume beer to be ~6%, 10%+ is a stronger beer.
I don't drink personally though, so that makes my knowledge a bit less based in practice.
 
@MBraedley you should try german "starkbier"
it has 11% too but since i am german i must say it is tastier :P
 
20 mins ago, by MBraedley
blame the 11% beer on that
 
2:02 AM
and we have them in 1litre cups :)
 
Civ V flash sale -75% for those who don't own the game yet.

Q: Where to find those daytime server in Dayz Standalone

WarfaceBeen about 2 hours that I log in and out of servers all around the world to find one with daytime. Some says in there description that they are 24/7 daylight but it's not. It is because it's not implemented yet or all server at on the same GMT time ? Any clue on how to find them with their host ...

Burniate all the answers on this question
 
I don't like that tag either.
 
@PrivatePansy is russian? nice
 
@Wandang the only time we have German style beers is if one of the micro-brews do a specialty batch. Bridge Brewing pretty much only does Belgian style beers, and the others mix it up
 
2:06 AM
@PrivatePansy or asian utc+8
 
You could, oh, I don't know, look at my profile
Where my location is publicly visible
 
oh
i love asians :3
my coworker is phillipean , my living community contains a vietnamese
great food^^
 
user15026
...I can't even respond to that without headdesking forever
 
FAE
@Wandang ...pardon?
 
@AshleyNunn why:/
because i am generalizing?
 
user15026
2:11 AM
@Wandang do you realize it sounds incredibly terrible?
 
user15026
because, well, it does.
 
maybe because my english is bad and i cannot express it correctly
in german it would sound good
 
Saying "I love asians" in any language is still just saying "I love asians." I'm not sure what you mean.
 
user15026
@Wandang pretty sure it would still sound like a gross generalization
 
so its forbidden for americans to say i love europeans?
 
2:13 AM
Ah, I see where those speedrun questions come from.
 
which implies culture and such?
 
1
Speedrun

Proposed Q&A site for speedrun enthusiasts that want to learn more about speedrun tips, tricks and routes.

Currently in definition.

 
user15026
@Wandang Its the same gross generalization.
 
For some reason, it's not tagged with Entertainment.
 
user15026
@Frank ah. Dupe of us. no?
 
2:14 AM
@AshleyNunn Most definitely.
Those questions have other problems with them.
 
@Frank Not if we close all of their speedrun questions. :P
 
@AshleyNunn almost as bad as the SteamOS proposal
 
@AshleyNunn there will always be generalization ... even a city has its own culture

Q: How to play Age of Mythology on a VM

NolonarI've recently been hit with the desire to play old games. Due to my past experience with old games, such as Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, which usually crashes a lot under Windows 8.1, I decided to set up a Windows XP VM (Virtual Machine) for exactly these kinds of cases. I then proceeded to ...

 
@Fluttershy In the general sense, they are a topic we can answer.
 
2:15 AM
Maaaan... My flag notification queue is bugged again. :(
 
It's just these specific ones that are problematic.
 
i would take i personally or mean if some1 would like bratwurst, dirndl and stuff from bavaria and tell me to love that german culture
even if it isnt^^
 
user15026
I think I am going to step away from this particular line of reasoning
 
... i wouldnt
i meant
 
user15026
instead I have pudding to consume.
 
2:16 AM
with chocolate?
 
user15026
@MBraedley It would belong elsewhere too, no?
 
user15026
I don't know what its guts are.

A: The state of this website

FrankThe main problem I see is that you seem to think that as long as you, personally, do not find something offensive, it's OK and should be allowed to stay. The problem is that this is the internet. There are a rather large number of people who frequent Arqade, and our tastes can differ wildly. T...

 
user15026
@Fluttershy Huh, I forgot we had this.
 
@AshleyNunn half of it would be us, the other half would be Unix and Linux or SuperUser
 
user15026
2:18 AM
@MBraedley Ah :)
 
user15026
Also, using the leftover heavy cream I had to make this instant puddiing was the best idea ever
 
user20683
@AshleyNunn Someday you will be introduced to Chocolate Death Cake...
 
Chocolate death cake...?
 
user15026
@FrostEngineer Okay, now I am intrigued....
 
user15026
The name alone makes it sound AWESOME
 
2:23 AM
More on the offensive flagging, we flag because it's offensive, not because we are offended. For many of use, there's a large gap between the two.
 
user20683
It's like...it's rather hard to describe. It might induce gurgling noises.
 
user15026
@FrostEngineer Now I am extra curious!
 
@Fluttershy wait me saying i like asian is offensive now?
wtf
 
user15026
You can't tease me like this, my dear! :(
 
> The main problem I see is that you seem to think that as long as you, personally, do not find something offensive, it's OK and should be allowed to stay.
You seem to have skipped the relevant part.
 
2:25 AM
no i did not
thats why i ask
if all find i offensive
or just u
 
That's irrelevant.
What's important is that someone can and may take offense to it.
 
user15026
@Fluttershy This!
 
to be liked?
wtf
my german mentality cannot get it
 
user15026
@Wandang its not the liking that is the problem
 
@AshleyNunn One of my more popular opinions, it seems.

Q: Where can I legally purchase the Doom WADs for Mac for download?

DoomDoomDoomI saw recently that John Romero tweeted that the best modern way to play Doom is to download the Doomsday Engine. I did this for my Mac, but it doesn't come with any WADs. I did a little bit of Googling and it seems that these aren't freely available, but I can't find a reputable source for purch...

 
@AshleyNunn Because breaking it will make it do what you want. :P
 
user15026
@Frank IT MIGHT
 
user15026
2:27 AM
I never know unless I try
 
i wont get it sry. flag me for it if you like, i am going to play hon for a round
i would love to see "i love asians" as flagged to laugh out loud
 
FAE
@Wandang Let me put it this way. I'm Korean. People tend to make the joke about people of Asian descent looking the same/being interchangeable, which is offensive. I tend to find it uncomfortable when people make blanket statements of "I like Asians" because you're generalizing an entire continent's worth of countries and cultures into one big conglomeration and removing their identities and saying they're interchangeable.
 
@AshleyNunn Mostly, I found it ironic he got all bent out of shape about getting a comment removed, but one of his more recent questions was all, "This offends me, and must be removed."
 
user15026
Oh, lovely, we are apparently under an ice storm warning.
 
FAE
Whether you're Chinese, Filipino, Indonesian, Taiwanese, etc. tends to rather, y'know... matter to people. And being lumped into one big cultural cluster like that is not comparable to someone saying that they like aspects of German culture, because at least that's specific enough to recognize as something individual.
 
2:33 AM
you now we germans get that shit all day right?

Q: Program to Block Steam

KevinI would like to help myself control how many video games I play. Is there a way I can block Steam at certain times of day or after using it for so long?

 
beeing called a nazi is quite common
 
FAE
@Wandang Then you should be able to empathize with someone else feeling uncomfortable with gross generalizations.
 
but nazi is a bad decription. liking some culture even a broad one i still cannot see whats the problem
no i dont
 
user20683
<-is grossly generalized as loud and bellicose.
 
FAE
2:34 AM
@Wandang Because "Asian" is not a singular culture.
 
user15026
@FrostEngineer goes to find a dictionary
 
user20683
@AshleyNunn warlike
 
user15026
@Wandang because NOT ALL THOSE PEOPLE ARE EVEN REMOTELY ALIKE
 
user15026
ahem
 
france and germany are totally different too
but i dont get a heart attack if some1 cannot tell the difference
 
user15026
2:35 AM
@Wandang ................
 
user15026
Okay nope, done.
 
gosh maybe my culture is used to it and cannot empathise
 
user15026
@FrostEngineer ah. I learned a new word today! :D
 
user15026
@Wandang or maybe it is just you?
 
nope
 
user15026
2:36 AM
I mean not everyone is going to share your opnions
 
user15026
that is just fact.
 
@Wandang Just FYI, you're rather close to being ignored, I think.
 
FAE
@Wandang Just because you do not find it offensive or are not offended does not mean that other people can not or are not.
And a few people in this room expressed that they found your statement offensive.
 
user15026
@Wandang ....I suspect you are quite wrong.
 
FAE
And we're trying to explain why that is.
 
2:36 AM
but they did not deliver a valid argument
they take a general statement personally
without any reason
 
user15026
@Wandang ....I...what
 
user15026
I think @FAE had every reason, and explained her point well.
 
its rather offensive that i am the bad generalizing guy while i am honestly interested in many asian countries, and since i told you have connections to those
me planing a visit to japan and learning japanese for example
 
user15026
@Wandang That doesn't make it any better
 
its a stupid conversation and i have no time for this. @fae @PrivatePansy if you are offended i am sorry, bye
 
2:39 AM
@Wandang I'm advising you stop talking now, lest you incur a chat ban
 
do it pls with the first quote of mine
the reason it started it all
thanks
 
user15026
facedesk
 
user15026
and I am out of pudding, too.
 
user15026
:(
 
user20683
@Wandang I aim to please. Consider it done.
 
2:42 AM
@Wandang If I say something like "All Germans are Nazis. But I'm interested in the German culture and I'm learning German, so it's good." It's definitely NOT good.It's bloody offensive.
Anyway, night Bridge, I should be off to bed, it's 3:43 AM here.
 
FAE
@Arperum sleep well
 
user15026
@Arperum Sleep well! :)
 
@AshleyNunn How was pudding?
 
user15026
@Frank the best
 
user15026
seriously
 
2:49 AM
@AshleyNunn Pudding is always good.
 
user15026
@Frank The cream made it all thick and puddingy awesome
 
@Krazer Thank you for the gift. =]
@MechanicalLoon Starforge is still really really unfinished too, from what I hear.

@ElfSlice is making out like a bandit this Christmas. :P
 
@ElfSlice but shows much potential
 
@MBraedley Yessss!
@Fluttershy Maybe people just feel bad for me, I don't know.
If I had money I would buy like everyone all the games
DESURA IS DOWN EVERYONE PANIC
 
2:54 AM
I think I need another beer to keep my buzz on.
 
STEAM IS DOWN EVERYONE PANIC
 
@ElfSlice you lie
 
Nobody responded to the one about Desura
I wanted a response
 
user20683
@ElfSlice I don't use Desura.
 
user20683
something is down? I'm not panicking.
 
user20683
2:59 AM
refuses to panic
 
@FrostEngineer You didn't respond to either of them!
 
So earlier I was testing chat with my raspberry pi. Don't think I prefer it over my iPad, although I do get to use a physical keyboard.
 
Look at this discussion! Steam! Woo!
