7:00 PM
@Lazers Wow, really, posting a question with spoilers that show up in the blurb/onebox for a game that's been out less than 24 hours?
 
@OrigamiRobot Oh, I agree entirely. The day Facebook becomes a life necessity is the day I set off an EMP.
 
@fbueckert o.0 You're going to kill @OrigamiRobot?
 
@SaintWacko If he's close enough, yes.
 
@SaintWacko I don't run on electricity.
 
Mostly, though, I just turn up my anti-tech aura to 11. That'll fry everything that's not used to me.
 
7:02 PM
He would actually be fueling me.
 
@OrigamiRobot EMP will still fry your circuits
 
@SaintWacko No, they don't use electricity.
 
@fbueckert Note to self: Invest in hardened circuits
@OrigamiRobot What do they use?
 
Spite.
 
@SaintWacko If it ain't mil-spec, it'll go boom.
 
7:04 PM
Feb 14 at 14:57, by OrigamiRobot
@SaintWacko I run on spite and @Wipqozn's tears.
 
@fbueckert Looks like you'll need to use a spitomagnetic pulse to take out @OrigamiRobot
 
I've told you before!
 
this is not morning
 
2 mins ago, by fbueckert
Mostly, though, I just turn up my anti-tech aura to 11. That'll fry everything that's not used to me.
 
@OrigamiRobot I knew you ran on that, but I thought you had a spite powered generator, which consumed spite and produced electricity
@kalina Very good.
Did you oversleep?
 
7:05 PM
@SaintWacko A common misunderstanding.
 
there is no such thing as "oversleep"
 
@kalina Did you sleep later than others/yourself expected you to sleep?
 
@kalina does not oversleep. Any time she wakes up, it is too early.
4
 
correct
 
@fbueckert Why was that even news worthy?
 
7:06 PM
@OrigamiRobot A girl after my own heart
 
Everyone else just plans things too soon.
 
@James Probably due to the rather unusual punishment.
 
@James Because it's utterly insane that the subject of this sort of thing is a 12 year old girl
Wtf is wrong with people?
How did her parents let it get that far?
 
@fbueckert Unusual? That sounds like exactly what my folks always did to me when I did something they didnt like
 
@James Except that this is court ordered.
 
7:07 PM
@SaintWacko Yeah that is odd as well, especially in an open case like this (under 18 should be private) but since she had a previous charge brought against her I can understand that part a bit
 
Like I said, it sounds like she needs some proper parenting, not a court ordered prevention to Facebook.
 
@fbueckert True enough... I still can not believe 1) it made the news and B) that people found it worth sharing :P
 
@SaintWacko The other parents could have taken it to court regardless of what the offending girl's parent did.
 
@James It is private. All the names have been withheld.
 
@OrigamiRobot No, I mean how did her parents let her behavior get that far?
 
7:09 PM
@OrigamiRobot Really, she should've never even thought that was an acceptable response.
That sounds like a parental failure, right there.
 
@fbueckert Exactly
 
@SaintWacko We don't know that she was not disciplined.
 
If I had thought of doing something like that, Dad would've taught me very quickly that it wasn't acceptable.
 
@OrigamiRobot Clearly not enough, if she's been in court for assault before, and now for death threats
 
@OrigamiRobot True enough, Its not like her parents can say "No judge, its ok, we already punished her"
@SaintWacko 12 yrs old man, the mind is not fully developed in thought like that yet (well mostly)
 
7:10 PM
I don't mean just in this case, I mean how did her parents let her overall behavior and demeanor devolve that far?
 
@James Right. It's very possible that the other parents would just not settle for anything less than a court case.
 
Was probably "Ok, last time I hit em and went to court, now Ill just vent my frustrations isntead" .. well Whoops :)
 
@SaintWacko Kids do dumb things. That's not news.
 
@SaintWacko Are you kidding me? You have never seen kids smack each other when a teacher isnt looking cause they are angry?
 
Wow, Valve only has two games that have servers that use their Protocol Buffers UserMessages and the DOTA 2 version is... weird.
 
7:11 PM
I wonder if we'd be having this discussion if it was about a 12-year old boy.
 
I don't know what's worse ... American Youth being general pricks because of the lack of parenting, or English Youth getting pregnant because of the lack of sex ed.
 
Just a thought.
 
@James Sounds like she's done more than that to be taken to court over it
 
They also aren't consist. Hell, I swear they named things differently between games just to break things.
 
@Wipqozn "Boys will be boys"
 
7:12 PM
@James If there's an actual probation order on a 12-year old, sounds like it was a ton more serious than just hitting another kid.
 
@FEichinger It's not just English Youth that's happening to
 
@Wipqozn I would be.. Because my point on it is how pointless the article was :D
 
@OrigamiRobot My kids are considered the odd ones because they prefer to use the computer to slay dragons instead of comment on comments.
 
@fbueckert My point exactly.
 
I've had my share of misbehaviour. That's the general growing up phase.
 
7:13 PM
@SaintWacko My point is that these are generally the more prominent examples of stupid youth. Obviously everything exists everywhere, but you usually see less violence and more sex on our side of the pond.
 
@fbueckert I only have the report to go on which said "The girl also pleaded guilty Monday to assault for slapping another 13-year-old girl in the face twice Feb. 28."
 
@fbueckert Maybe there are just less silly court cases in Canada.
 
@Coronus You let them play Skyrim?
 
@Powerlord Yes.
 
@James I'm thinking that if that went to court, it's either more serious that a slap, or somebody's lawyer happy.
 
7:14 PM
@OrigamiRobot We have a smaller population, so I'm 110% certain that's the case.
 
@OrigamiRobot I doubt that.. Likely just smarter news reporters that actually report news.
 
@fbueckert Yeah, seems like if it was just a slap, the judge would have thrown it out

Q: How to download feed the beast

Daniel PalamarchukI've been trying to download the popular minecraft mod Feed The Beast and I can't do it somehow. Every time I do try to download it, the computer just freezes and I have to restart it. My computer is running on Linux. The complete answer has to have a link that lets me download Feed the Beast for...

 
@fbueckert The lawyer happy thing is exactly what I've been saying!
 
@fbueckert Or it never went to actual court and just went to a hearing since the child plead guilty?
 
7:14 PM
Get outta here @Lazers!
 
OK... so should I hold off on playing Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon until I've replayed the first? My copy of Dark Moon should be arriving at my home today.
 
Yeah, @Lazers, we're talking here!
 
And I won't have the original back until Sunday.
 
When will feed bots learn to wait until X minutes have passed since the last message?
Seriously, it'd be that easy to avoid these interruptions.
 
@FEichinger Then sometimes they'd never talk, though
 
7:15 PM
@FEichinger Uh, didnt it wait about 30min? :)
 
And then we'd get twenty feet of feed
@James That one was almost immediate
I think it checks every 15 minutes or so
 
@James No, I'm referring to waiting from the last human message until they post their links.
 
@SaintWacko From its previous announcement?
 
@James No, chatroom inactivity
 
@James Oh, no, from the time the question was posted
 
7:16 PM
@FEichinger Oh God, We would be spammed to no end if it did that!
 
@FEichinger Racist!
 
Everyone would keep talking just to hold it off from saying anything then around noon when people all go to snag food and 3min of silence happens 50 posts!!!
 
Also... There's a ?
 
you say that like it's a bad thing...
 
@Coronus Not anymore.
 
7:18 PM
@Coronus You can technically make any tag you want eventually :)
 
@James Then it re-checks before posting and only relays what isn't answered yet, or stuff like that. I'd at least like some way of customizing it, without having to resort to ignoring the bot.
 
@FEichinger Guess I am just used to Lazers.. The Bridge would not be The Bridge with out him.

I don't want @Lazers to interrupt less. It's fun to yell at him.
 
@OrigamiRob has got a lot of stars today
 
@fredley ಠ_ಠ
@fredley I made more Magic cards.
 
7:22 PM
@OrigamiRobot I still don't have one :(
 
@fredley Patience is a virtue.
 
@OrigamiRobot You should entirely remake Magic with Bridge people, questions, comments, and stars
 
@OrigamiRobot Are you posting these for display, anywhere?
 
@SaintWacko Replace land cards with stars
 
24
Q: So I heard you like Magic cards

OrigamiRobotAfter the people over at Board & Card Games made a promotional Magic card, I thought it would be fun to card-ify some of the people here. They were apparently very popular (mostly) and people were asking for more. So here are some of the cards I made. If you want to make your own, just dow...

2
 
7:23 PM
@fredley ...Sure
 
@SaintWacko Working on it.
 
I don't play Magic, so I have no idea what that means :P
 
@fredley OPEN YOUR PRESENT!
 
@OrigamiRobot ALRIGHT I'M GETTING TO IT CALM DOWN
 
@fredley It's exciting!
 
7:27 PM
@OrigamiRobot Oh. A book. You shouldn't have.
 
Read it!
 
@OrigamiRobot Nice
 
@fredley Always day.
 
@OrigamiRobot This a random world?
 
No, I wrote it.
 
7:28 PM
@OrigamiRobot Those are amazing
 
@OrigamiRobot I found a 'Spontaneous Explosions' page.
 
@fredley We have it already.
 
what's the sixth symbol on Gracenote? Was that snow-covered land?
 
@Sconibulus Yes.
 
@Sconibulus This a new age?
 
7:33 PM
hmm?
 
@fredley I made a warded vault to keep mine in.
I also made some Dark Iron
 
@OrigamiRobot I could do the same I guess
I got a Zero Length page
 
@fredley What does that do?
 
@fredley That was used to create this world!
 
@OrigamiRobot Oooooh
 
7:34 PM
@SaintWacko Sun/moon don't move.
 
Dark Sun
 
@OrigamiRobot Ooh
 
@fredley We don't have that.
Next I'll make a good Accelerated age for farming.
 
@fredley I have the original book too in case another crash happens. We can rebuild it!
 
7:36 PM
@OrigamiRobot <3
 
@OrigamiRobot We have the paper!
 
@fredley NEVR FORGET
 
I just saw a pair of pictures that made me laugh.... Moulin Rouge vs. Mulan Rogue
 
I wonder if you could factory random books...
 
@SaintWacko I am a paper expert!
 
7:36 PM
and then automatically use them
and then automatically extend quarries, etc. into them
basically, generate an infinity of worlds gray-gooing the server
 
@Sconibulus That sounds like you're setting yourself up for a gra- Yeah, that
The quarries are out of control!
 
I wonder if I should point out to @OrigamiRobot that Magic Cards like Clone usually have * / * as their power/toughness.
 
@Powerlord They usually have 0/0, but that means they die if they don't successfully copy something. You are better than that.
Also, you only have {T}: Bacon. if you don't copy something.
 
@OrigamiRobot Remember, I come from the Revised days.... and seriously, both Revised Clone and Revised Vesuvan Doppleganger were * / *
Maybe they changed that in later editions.
 
@Powerlord They got Errata'd.
I need to get a Vesuvan Doppelganger
Someone clear @James's stars so I can have the whole star list!
 
7:50 PM
@OrigamiRobot Oh! I got a star!!! Yay me!

Q: How to increase demand for a product?

EhevuTovI have a ton of oil sitting in trade sites that aren't getting bought at the end of the month. How do I create demand so that my oil gets bought? It seems I have a chicken and egg problem, in that I can't create consumer buildings because I don't have an HQ to produce a building further down the ...

 
@OrigamiRobot denied
 
@kalina I see you're back to your normal meab self :P
 
I am always my normal self, it's just everybody else's interpretation that changes daily

> You've earned the "Necromancer" badge for So I heard you like Magic cards. See your profile.
How appropriate.
 
7:53 PM
I bought Bioshock infinite and can't even be bothered to play it
it must be a bad game because of this
 
8:07 PM
Eh, I bought and loved Dishonored, but only played till the 2nd mission
I'll return and have a ton of fun, but I haven't returned yet
 
@tiddy Me too. I'm making that game way harder than it needs to be.
I never want to use my darts or anything.
 
Same, I also attempted the fools errand of trying to get all coins in prologue
like 3 times
I can't figure it out
And honestly? It's really really easy
 
The trick to getting stars is bacon.
 
which is unfortunate, because the trick to getting bacon is stars
 
@Sconibulus I can trade in my stars for bacon?!?!?!
 
8:17 PM
@OrigamiRobot Yes, at any licensed Astral Bacon Vendor
 
To asker & answerers: Put everything in spoilers, please. — Oblivious Sage 1 hour ago
The last thing we need is entire answers in spoiler tags.
 
@kalina I think inconsistency is the norm for you.
@fbueckert I wish I could get rid of all spoiler tags. If you don't want to be spoiled, ignore the tag.
 
@OrigamiRobot Exactly.
Spoilers directly interfere with being able to properly answer the question.
 
@OrigamiRobot surely that would mean I am consistently inconsistent which means I'm not inconsistent?

8:27 PM
@ObliviousSage I think the best bet if you want to avoid spoilers, is avoid questions titled "Understanding the ending of..." — kalina 2 mins ago
 
Naw, really?
You think?
 
@Wipqozn How many times did you roll over the keyboard to produce that?
 
@kalina Don't call me Shirley.

@OrigamiRobot learn to read
 
@kalina I did in preschool.
 
8:29 PM
I think you're just jealous that I rolled out of bed in the evening
 
@OrigamiRobot I almost don't want to star this just because it's not an add-on to an actual answer.
 
@Wipqozn There's a backtick in there. Impressive.
@GraceNote I didn't feel like coming up with an actual answer, so I cut to the part I really wanted to say.
@kalina I am not jealous of anything having to do with your bed.
 
@OrigamiRobot what are you trying to say about my bed?
 
@fbueckert A few.
@OrigamiRobot Thanks.
 
it's the comfiest bed in the world and has lots of pillows and is warm and snuggly
you know what? I'm going to go back to bed
 
8:31 PM
Yeah right, my bed is the comfiest bed and my pillow is the comfiest pillow.
 
lies
 
Though that might be cheating because it's really two pillows in one pillowcase.
@kalina I have never told a lie.
 
@OrigamiRobot just did
 
Much less multiple lies.
Next I'm going to make a Magic card for @kalina.
Creature - Meab User
 
@OrigamiRobot it will be wrong
 
8:36 PM
{T}: Grump.
2
 
I am not grumpy!
 
You're definitely red.
Maybe a little black.
No, a lot black too.
 
@OrigamiRobot you understand that "being red" is being high, right?
 
That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
 
no it's not, you just lack understanding
 
8:40 PM
@kalina No, I understand perfectly. It's just dumb.
 
@OrigamiRobot no u
 
Now, now, kiddies
 
kalina {R/B}{R/B}{R/B}{R/B}{R/B}
Sounds right.
Maybe one W because sometimes you're nice.
@kalina Do you want grape juice or cotton candy as your image?
 
...
I don't get it
 
Previous or current gravatar?
 
8:50 PM
that wasn't so hard was it
current ofc
I don't even remember what my last one was
 
@kalina A grape juice stain.
 
@OrigamiRobot Grape juice?
 
I have never used a grape juice stain as an avatar
 
Preliminary
 
Aww, no Grump?

A: How can Bioshock Infinite saves on the PC be backed up and restored?

HDingoOkay, I don't really care. You could even block my email address, dick.

Kill it.
 
@fbueckert one of three
 
@kalina He posted three times, total?
Wow. He really needs to learn.
 
@fbueckert no, first of three delete votes
 
@kalina Ah.
 
8:55 PM
@OrigamiRobot I am not grumpy, you just misunderstand me.
 
@kalina Look, you're using it now :P
Man, that card it pretty OP.
 
@OrigamiRobot Is it limited to one per deck?
 
@Coronus I think they all are

Hmm, the text is getting small. Was Provoke ever common enough to not need rules text?
I think Lure was eventually printed without it
 
@Sconibulus I just removed the "kalina" at the bottom.
@Sconibulus Lure did not give the creature Provoke.
 
I know, I was just using it as an example

Q: Does my opinion of other people matter?

SevenSidedDieEach other person shows not only their opinion of me, but also my opinion of them. I know that their opinion of me is important in all kinds of ways, but what is my opinion of them for? For example, my wife likes me well enough, but I don't like her much: Does that impact the chance of having...

 
@kalina Don't be grumpy, you are a great card.

@OrigamiRobot @BenBrocka should delete this.
 
oh wow, Provoke is even more OP than I thought
I didn't realize it was stackable
 
@Ullallulloo Hm, now with Darksiders II.
 
@badp And Red Faction Guerrilla.
 
I'm afraid this one's average isn't going to go down as fast.
 
@badp Isn't that good?
 
The Humble Mobile Bundle looks more interesting
 
9:06 PM
@SaintWacko Not for me. :)
 
...kinda
 
> Support vital charities. Choose how your purchase is divided: between THQ, the Child’s Play Charity or the American Red Cross.
 
@Coronus Well, it's good in general
 
Heh, I can't help but find the wording amusing.
 
@RedRiderX Yeah, I don't know where the THQ money goes.
 
9:08 PM
@badp should undelete this
 
@badp Doesn't come with PC versions though, and I don't have phone.
 
@Ullallulloo I do, so...
 
@badp Well then it's probably pretty good for you.
 
...my brain...
an instant with a tap ability?
 
@Sconibulus "No previous knowledge of the actual game required"
 
9:12 PM
don't care : () )
 
{T}: Care.
 
ah crap, my old guild is reforming and wants me to heal
pretends to be AFK
 
@Sconibulus You can use it again after it's being put on the table. duh
just rotate it by 90° every time you want a new card.
 
I started watching Dead Like Me recently. I knew even before it said who did the music that it was Stewart Copeland... and if you'd ever played the Spyro the Dragon games before watching this show, you'd know that too.
 
9:28 PM
Yesterday I got the chance to play with stabby stabby and STAR_
and I realize how much I suck
at TF2
SO I ended up going Fat Scout GRU to compensate
 
@Retrosaur Mmm, you don't want to know what RUGC_Midwest thinks of stabby
 
What?
It turns out, everyone that server played Highalnder Gold, Silver or Plat
and I was literally the only pub player
So I ended up going Holiday PUnch heavy
and then from there I had some fun
making people laugh
Wait, who is RUGC_MIdwest?
 
@Retrosaur It's a server.
Well, I shouldn't save the whole server thinks he's a poser, just the ones who actually play on high level teams and the two that do TF2 casting.
 
Stabby stabby isn't that bad
Because spy is a trump card class
 
@Retrosaur I think their comments are because he relies too heavily on trick stabs.
 
9:41 PM
Maybe because many have fallen to his blade
But most people in highlander know about most trickstabs
 
gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/110563/… should this question be closed as off topic?
 
@SimonL Its somewhat related to gaming software.. I dunno
 
@SimonL No, it sounds like it's dealing with game configuration.
 
@Coronus There is no game configuration like that for league of legends
im going to try it out, becuase I am fairly sure I was able to use winamp and lol at the same time with hotkeys, I think he just didnt configure global hotkeys. Also... LoL takes a year and a half to update.
 
Doesn't listening to music during that game make it more difficult?
 
10:08 PM
no.
the amount of visual queues in league of legends is more than adequate. Now if you where playing a first person shooter, you most certainly want sound.
 
Oh ok, I wasn't sure how much visual indication there was.
 
@badp Uh, how is Humble having a THQ weekly bundle considering that THQ's assets were now sold off?
 
I suppose their license didn't expire?
 
@badp what are your thoughts on gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/110563/… ?
 
> Choose how your purchase is divided: between THQ, the Child’s Play Charity or the American Red Cross. And if you like this weekly sale, a tip to Humble Bundle would be greatly appreciated!
Again, how can it go to THQ since THQ doesn't exist any more?
 
10:12 PM
They still own the titles being sold.
As I understand it, these are included in the auction taking place the first half of April.
> On February 26, THQ announced that it would sell off its remaining properties – the Darksiders, Homeworld, Red Faction and Destroy All Humans! franchises, as well as its licensed and original properties – in a court-approved auction which will be held from April 1st to April 15, with the process completed by May.
 
@Powerlord help pay off the creditors?
 
@SimonL aside from the fact you've asked multiple different people in search of the answer you want, I would say that it's a question about global hot keys in Winamp rather than anything to do with a game
 
@kalina Thank you for your thoughts. Do you think this is on topic? I am asking to further my understanding of this site's policies.
 
last I checked, Winamp isn't a game
 
Well, what's happening seems to be something specific to LoL.
 
10:20 PM
FindMii is bullshit this dark room is bullshit WTF
30 Miis, not one with a white shirt. The only way I can advance
 
Huh, chat.stackoverflow.com and chat.stackexchange.com are completely separate.
@badp bit.ly is longer than just adding .com on the end.
 
@Ullallulloo I copy pasted the link from their email
 
@badp Well, that's silly of them.
 
There, fixed.
@Ullallulloo They want click numbers obv
 
@badp Yeah, we do the same with our QR codes.
 
10:28 PM
 
@Wipqozn Lupin?
 
@Coronus Maybe.
It's New Zealand. not sure on the type of flower.
 
Well. My company has seemingly decided on a course of action to annoy me.
 
@fbueckert They asked a poorly researched, slightly off-topic question?
:P
 
@JasonBerkan Nope. They decided to hire from outside for a position I was more than willing to do.
And didn't even ask me.
 
10:36 PM
@Ullallulloo Thank Christ.

Q: How to remove/disable specific sounds from the .FSB files?

ajax333221I know is not a wise idea to play LoL in windows XP, but its all I have and after shutting down some processes and lowering graphics I got a steady 15-30 fps (which is fine for me).

RetrosaurI remember a question on meta pertaining to asking questions before a game is released. For the game Minecraft, there are literally tons and tons of pre-releases and updates.

The Darksiders soundtrack is pretty.
 
@Lazers Both of these meta questions could be duped to the same question, really.
