I don't get ads in Youtube, you can probably guess why
 
I don't get ads on Youtube in my browser either, but i do get some for air berlin on my mobile youtube app
 
I don't get any ads on mobile, because no one can be bothered to target a phone that almost no one uses..
 
11:20 AM
Never going to be as good as youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

Everyone just grow
@StrixVaria Accept an answer and downvote something
 
@fredley By the time I do that some troll from the bridge will probably downvote something of mine.
Or upvote.

The amount we troll in here is grossly

It's all your
 
@StrixVaria 30k problems
 
11:29 AM
@fredley I got 99 problems but 30k ain't one.
 
@fredley Shopped.
 
@StrixVaria HTML edited, but yes
 
Someone is toying with my emotions. I went from 29999 to 30009 to 29997. I blame @fredley since he's a known troll. I'll never forgive you @fredley.

@StrixVaria All I gave you was one pity upvote on an answer with 24 votes
 
Is this going to be my first serial downvote incident? I'm so excited

We should all randomly downvote @OrigamiRob now, so he thinks it's just one guy.
 
11:38 AM
Tose downvotes put me at a multiple of 5. As far as I'm concerned, they are doing me a service.
Oh oh oh! I should make a meta, right?
 
@StrixVaria undownvote an answer
 
@OrigamiRobot Yep. And you accuse Arqade of hating you and being totally mean to you.
 
aww, you'd already handled everything about the spam except the destroying of the user because you know that's my favourite part <3

Q: Do specific workers speacialize in particular duties in the game "Rule The Kingdom"?

David TohI recently downloaded a game on the windows 8 app store called "Rule The Kingdom". As you can see in this particular picture, I have a worker named Gregory Oakheart. Every time someone else chops 4 pieces of wood, he only gives me 2 stone. Is this because he specialises in gathering wood from th...

Q: Will animals spawn less likely in offline mode?

Young GuiloIn Minecraft I usually play by myself in the single player game mode. Now I had to disable the internet access on my laptop because of an overload on internet usage. When playing Minecraft I searched for some pigs and horses to bring back to my city. after 1 hour of looking all I found were chick...

 
@fredley I starred them there anyway

@Sterno Would you like another?

Trolling on the bridge? and on a friday?!?
2
 
why, NEVER.
The troll police would never allow it.
 
"Animal spawning is determined by your seed." I did not know that. Thanks. (gaming.stackexchange.com/a/128568/51318)
 
 
I have to keep checking these links to make sure you aren't actually linking a Bieber vid or something
 
11:50 AM
@3ventic Well, a computer's randomness always (internally, or externally) uses a seed. If every random operation in minecraft depends on the original seed, that is a logical conclusion.
 
I don't want to get meta-trolled into starring the wrong thing.
@FEichinger I think you're missing the joke.
 
@FEichinger Makes sense. I didn't assume the animal spawns used the same seed, though.
 
@Sterno I know that people actually don't know that, so I just assumed this was genuine.
 
@FEichinger Sounds like maybe it was, and I'm the only one in here who read that with a dirty mind out of context.
 
@Sterno Yep.
So much for the meta-trolling then, I guess?
 
11:52 AM
I don't know what that has to do with meta-trolling.
 
I'm sort of new here. :)
 
@Sterno Well, this makes you look like a fool.
 
But so as not to confuse it with meta.SE, I shall now refer to that as Inception Trolling
 
@FEichinger True, but that has nothing to do with Inception Trolling!
 
11:53 AM
@fredley at least let me enjoy my coffee first...
 
@Sterno I just googled 'Horse Seed'
 
@Sterno But the result is the same. Therefore, Inception Trolling is now obsolete.
 
@fredley that was not what i expected, I expected this

I'm not following your logic at all, so I'm just going to stop talking about it now.
 
@Blem Quite!
 
11:57 AM
the danish version of VAT is "moms", dose not always get you the expected results if you google it
 
@Blem hah, why is it moms?
 
Ugh, why didn't I take an antihistamine and pseudoephedrine this morning?
 
@3ventic Because crazy Vikings. Also, it's the short form of "meromsætningsafgift".
 
@fredley She needs to work on her putting.
 
@OrigamiRobot There's a crime scene on the dancefloor apparently. Sounds messy.
 
12:04 PM
Clearly, the Danish consider the VAT a gift to the state. ;)
 
12:19 PM
@MartinSojka it is 25%
 
@Blem I know, as well as the fact "afgift" (via "afgive" = "give away") is actually etymologically related to the English "gift" (though not so much to the Danish "gift" ... ;)
 
@Blem 25%? That seems rather high
 
@MBraedley Wow. They have an option to enable ads over 30 seconds...I was not expecting ads THAT much longer than 30 seconds (though that's an exaggerated example of why I leave that off)
 
@MBraedley that is nothing compared to what we pay for cars
 
12:26 PM
the first 14929.74 cad we pay 105% on and anything above that we pay 180%

Q: How do you defeat the Sectopod on Commander Difficulty?

Q: tank-like sniper mode for artillery mod?

SF.Is there any mod that lets you use a tank-like (first-person) sniper mode in artillery besides the standard "strategical map"? Of course the "map view" is much better for hunting enemies from afar, but sometimes the enemies breach our front and one has to fight for life, one on one. You usually ...

Q: Does matchmaker assign sides by tank type?

SF.For the past week or so I've been playing almost strictly StgPzIVb, a very fun artillery to play. I played the several maps available dozens of times and I was frequently making plans "where to hide when I play the opposite side". Plans I never managed to realize. Airfield - always West.

@BenBrocka I leave YouTube whitelisted (at least on my main desktop at home) because I subscribe to a number of full-time YouTubers whose main income is ad revenue.
 
Nah, whether you get >30 second ads is an option the vid/rights owner sets. I think that might just be for "standard" (unskippable) ads though
Either way it's a dick move since I'm not sure youtubers get paid if you skip the ad even if it's asininely long (maybe there's a minimum watch length too)
Hm that doesn't seem right
 
I don't run pre-rolls on my videos anyway, and won't for my upcoming KSP series (HYPE HYPE HYPE)

@Blem Good morning, that's a nice Tnettennba

@BenBrocka so we get longer ads? Woot!

@fredley Your face is a word
 
@badp Two words, actually.

@MBraedley I just do the overlays (since they're short, closable and don't stop the video at all) and post-roll ads on 95% of videos. Some of the super popular stuff I occasionally put extra stuff on
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz It's possible to find examples of any opinion on the internet
@LessPop_MoreFizz For example

1:01 PM
@fredley Well yes, but a lot of people were very very very angry about Heath Ledger as joker because Brokeback Mountain, etc. etc.
That's really not cherry picking at all. I was around for it, I remember, I am old.

@LessPop_MoreFizz And look what happened! People DIED!
 
Also, this just showed up in a resume thread on SA and now I am going to go curl up in a ball and cry because if I don't do that I will end up setting things on fire:

How'd you find my resume?
I'm sure the censor bars on their butts are for personally identifying information but it looks..wrong
 
@Sterno ahem
 
1:04 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz If I were a hiring manager, that resume would be shredded immediately.
 
@fredley too soon?
 
Did anyone fully get to explain to Gnome why his chat ID is so low compared to his Arqade ID whereas for example I'm the far opposite end?
 
@MBraedley Shredding the resume doesn't seem severe enough. Somebody else still might hire him.
 
@Sterno STAR PLEASE
 
@MBraedley No it wouldn't. You'd pass it around the office to laugh at.
@fredley Oh, my bad.
 
1:05 PM
@Sterno Good point. Then shred it.
 
@MBraedley I'd frame it or at least post it on reddit
Some things are too good not to share

Q: x-com-declassified and the-bureau

Zommuterx-com-declassified and the-bureau should be synonyms. Unfortunately the full game title is too long for a tag: the-bureaux-com-declassified but both these tags might be good search terms...

 
@MBraedley I'd reply in kind
 
Okay, coffee time, pt. 2
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I can understand enjoying a show, joining a community that also enjoys it, using it as your avatar, etc. But that's just next level obsessive.
 
1:06 PM
That's a pretty controversial DJ name

@StrixVaria It is the opposite of what a resume should be.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yes.
 
@MBraedley Unless you worked for who ever owns the rights for MLP, then it would go straight to Legal so he could get sued
 
Or if you know whoever you're handing the resume to is also obsessed with ponies, in which case, good move.
 
@Sterno No, still a bad move.

Q: Can't start Blood on Ice. Cant buy Hjerim

HashbrownIt appears I have missed the graveyard scene for the quest and nothing I do will trigger it. Hjerim's door requires a key and talking to the guards and people do nothing. Talking to Jorleif about buying the house only makes him say that there's a mess. creating new question as these other ques...

 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Unless he's applying for a job at Hasbro.
 
@StrixVaria No, still a bad move, IMO.
Always a bad move.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I hope that's a joke.
Oh lord and it's a university student?
 
@Wipqozn Doesn't appear to be. :(
 
We had a guy show up at my office for an interview wearing a costume as "Link" from Zelda.

1:12 PM
It has to be a joke. It just has to be.
 
@Wipqozn A PhD candidate.
 
@Wipqozn About to start a PhD, unsure why a resume is even required at that point in life
 
This would have shocked me, but he was a grade or two behind me in college and he wore that costume around campus all the time.
 
Maybe looking for housemates?
 
@fredley Lots of people work while pursuing graduate degrees.
 
1:13 PM
Guy in maths lectures would wear pikachu onesie, sit next to guy wearing evening dress and academic gown.
 
@Sterno Not directly related but I knew a guy who worked for a game dev company, whose nickname was Link (short for Lincoln). He said it made for a very nice ice breaker.
 
There was also a dude at my college everyone called "Sweatpants guy", because all he ever wore was sweatpants and a t-shirt. He also interviewed at my company. In sweatpants and a t-shirt.
My college was weird.
 
Everyone here dresses weird by your standards
 
I blame the 1 to 8 girl to guy ratio.
and @Wipqozn
 
1:15 PM
@Sterno We had a "bare feet guy".
 
@fredley Yes, but to an interview you don't wear sweatpants.
 
My college was in a city setting.
 
@Wipqozn Interview as a sports coach? Probably
 
@fredley Track suit, not sweatpants.
 
@StrixVaria We had northerners who would wear flip-flops and shorts in the snow
Odd people
@StrixVaria There's a difference?
 
1:16 PM
@fredley Tracksuits go swish swish swish when you walk.
 
You're not talking about pants made from actual sweat are you?
 
Sweatpants are relatively silent.
 
@StrixVaria Different material, same purpose
 
^ tracksuits
 
Good morning, Bridge
 
1:17 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz It's a good example of people taking a fandom too far.
and then becoming completely disconnected with the rest of reality because of it.
 
Although you can also get less swishy black ones, but only if you're in the mafia
 
@Sterno Shell suits
OH GOD WE'RE HAVING A DISCUSSION ARGUMENT ABOUT THE MEANING OF WORDS AGAIN
 
@Sterno Windbreakers
 
@OrigamiRobot Google image results clearly said those were tracksuits, the image name had "tracksuits" in it, and the internet would never lie.
 
1:19 PM
You can have a windbreaker tracksuit.
 
@fredley Those are sweatpants.
 
@GraceNote shhh, we're arguing, stop trying to make our argument invalid.
@StrixVaria Tracksuit bottoms
 
@OrigamiRobot a windbreaker is just the top part.
 
@fredley You still have the whole idiocy of "shell suits". I mean, seriously...
 
1:20 PM
@fredley Argument isn't the proper word, we should be using debate.
 
@GraceNote Shell suits make perfect sense
@Wipqozn Nope, debate is the classy word for argument and this is not a classy place
 
@fredley Shells are hard.
 
@StrixVaria So are people who wear shell suits.
 
@fredley The Bridge is the classiest place around.
 
But the suits themselves aren't hard.
 
1:20 PM
"Sweatpants— the bottom half of a tracksuit —remain popular, and are worn by people of all ages, even babies. They are commonly worn in solid colors such as gray, red, black, white, or navy blue."
 
@OrigamiRobot has a top hat and manacle. It doesn't get much classier than that.
 
@OrigamiRobot Emphasis mine.
 
Also, have you seen @fbueckert in his suit? That's class.
 
why did that not markup all nice on me
 
@Wipqozn Yes. That doesn't mean it's actually classy though. It's like saying "we're the classiest neighbourhood in Detroit!"
 
1:21 PM
@Wipqozn And I get to wear a tuxedo in about a month!
 
@Wipqozn RIP @kalina :(
 
@fbueckert Wedding?
 
@Sterno I WILL LINK YOU ALL THE LIFE HACKS
 
@Wipqozn Tango performance
 
@fbueckert pffft. I wear a DJ more than I wear a suit
 
1:22 PM
@OrigamiRobot Oops, was that you getting mad about that yesterday? I pinged the wrong person!
 
@fredley You wear a disk jockey? How do they like that? Sounds uncomfortable.
 
@fbueckert Make sure to upload a video for all of us.
 
@fbueckert I wear DJ Sex Charges
 
Am I wrong here?
The accepted answer may not solve the problem, but that calls for someone to write a better answer to that question. Not being able to start Blood on the Ice is essentially the same problem - one follows from the other, in much the same way 'I can't put my car in gear' follows from 'I can't start my car'. The former question is only interesting if it's decoupled from the latter one. — LessPop_MoreFizz 40 secs ago
 
pour homme, pour femme
 
1:23 PM
And yes, the accepted answer for the question I linked is awful, but it is literally the same question, there is no difference of circumstance or detail between the two, it's just a case of an awful awful accepted answer.

@BenBrocka I hate that movie.

LET THE DRAMA BEGIN
cc @Sterno
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Your logic is right, I know nothing about the source material to comment whether or not it applies to the situation.
 
I respect your opinion and do not consider you a lesser person for it
 
I believe I have the exact same logic in my old "Same answer doesn't mean duplicate" post on Meta.
 
1:25 PM
@OrigamiRobot I feel betrayed.
 
@GraceNote In this case it does mean duplicate.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Can one encounter all sorts of problems trying to get the house that have nothing to do with Blood on the Ice? Can one start Blood on the Ice without actually wanting to acquire the house? (I do not know the answers to these). If yes, I'd say it's not a dupe. If no, it's a dupe.
 
No more developers :(
 
1:27 PM
@Sterno No, acquiring the house is how the blood on the ice quest starts. The two are tightly coupled.
 
@StrixVaria Betrayed that I don't like awful movies?
 
@BenBrocka with the amount of energy that guy uses it is no wonder
 
Why do we even have a Kindle fire tag!?
Oh, right. YoungGuilo insisted on his questions being specific to it.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Actually, you get the house after you complete the quest the 2nd time
 
1:27 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Which is where I used that logic to say "Yes, this case would be a duplicate".
 
YG's tag wikis read like bad marketing copy

I need 6 barroth shells.
 
@3ventic Well, sort of and sort of and it's more complicated than that, the point is, you can't do one without the other.
Replies to now-deleted comments: "I have down-voted this question because it answers itself..." It doesn't answer itself. I was showing what I came upon in my research, which is encouraged when asking questions here. That was definitely not meant as an answer. "Some members (myself, included), feel that lore questions like this one possess no actual us..." It's a lore/plot question, which is perfectly on-topic here (see 'help' link in site footer). What do you expect? You can't expect lore questions to be "practical". I asked this to further my understanding of this in-game piece of info. — galacticninja 10 hours ago
ROUND TWO. FIGHT.
 
1:30 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Urge to flag...rising.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz also cc @Sterno
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz It's a complicated quest full of bugs that many people don't even have a chance to play.
 
@fbueckert In this case the question is self answered, so the proper solution is not to post a bounty, but rather, to post what is a very good answer on the existing question.
@3ventic Yeah, not disputing that for a second.
Still, dupe question is dupe.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh, that was a self-answered question? I was just looking at the questions themselves.
I want to respond to those comments so much.
 
1:31 PM
Instead, I'm just going to flag them as unconstructive, because they don't help the question at all.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm still bad at spotting dupes so I mostly leave it for someone else
 
If you want to ask people why they downvoted, awesome. If they want to tell you, awesome. If you want to argue with them that they should change their votes, not awesome, at least in comments. Start a Meta about it. — Sterno 28 secs ago
 
@BenBrocka Off Topic for The Bridge!
 
@Sterno Oh please, you just want to start some meta drama.
I'm onto your reindeer games sterno!
 
@Wipqozn Sorta true! But also, I just added "Or don't, and let it go."
I kind of understand when people with < 500 rep get worked up about downvotes
 
1:33 PM
@3ventic With Skyrim questions in particular, it always pays to look at the related questions sidebar when a new question pops up. If there's a dupe, there's a good chance it will show up there.
 
But when you're at 16k, it baffles me a bit
 
@galacticninja It's at a net +3. Chill with the martyr complex. It's really quite annoying. — LessPop_MoreFizz 22 hours ago
I think @LessPop_MoreFizz put it nicely.
 
@Sterno Eh. It's passive aggressive whining.
 
@Blem If I pay $5 will it be on topic?
 
And I think it actually inhibits downvotes, since people will see that comment from a user with 16K, and assume that downvoting the question means they have to explain why.
 
1:35 PM
I prefer to confine my passive aggressive whining to The Bridge.
 
@BenBrocka Sure, but good look finding the bridge's paypal.
 
@BenBrocka No it is about gaming. It will always be off topic on The Bridge!
 
@Wipqozn To be fair, it's better to sit on Meta than buried deep in blerfin comments.
 
@BenBrocka Please make it payable to the Marshal Corps.
Your topic will then be deemed on topic.
 
@fbueckert haha, low rank great jaggi. 30 seconds.
 
1:37 PM
@Wipqozn I suspect a single hit or two is enough for it to die.
 
@Wipqozn Plus, Meta drama is forever. Comments get deleted.
It's a bad sign when even I start finding the RB trolling obnoxious.
 
@Blem You suck!
 
That said, I am now grooving to the song.
 
Do we really need spoiler tags on a two year old game?
 
1:41 PM
@fbueckert Yes.
 
@Wipqozn Fiiiiine.
 
The age of the game doesn't really matter.
 
@Wipqozn It should; that's the whole point of spoilers.
And everyone's insistence on sticking their head in the sand and going, "lalalalala!"
 
This will sound strange but I don't think I'd consider age alone to be relevant to classification as a spoiler. In most cases, age causes an item to basically be "You should know this by now", but I don't agree that all cases are as such.
It's a sort of etiquette that certain folks enjoy.
 
1:49 PM
@fbueckert Or anywhere ever?
 
Some folks don't mind spoilers, some folks even prefer knowing spoilers as they love knowing the ending and seeing how pieces all match up to lead to it.
 
I guess I don't mind spoiler tags in questions. I just hate them in answers, especially when all it covers is exactly what the question asked about.
 
@GraceNote In other words, it's pretty personal, and we have no set standard for it, other than to not dance around asking a question to spare feelings.
 
And mostly I'm annoyed because you can't view them in Safari
 
I primarily only use spoiler tags in answers for non-essential information like "This is the prize you get when you complete the problem you asked me that I solved".
 
1:50 PM
@Sterno They work fine in safari what are you talking about
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Not on my iPad. I can't make spoilers appear on it.
 
Today I learned that I am the Martin Septim of Arqade. — galacticninja 4 hours ago
 
There's only one situation I can call off-hand, an answer I've never even had to write yet because no one plays the game, wherein I would spoiler a portion of the solution because there's a certain charm to that puzzle that is really nice to find out on your own.
 
@Sterno Mobile Safari is different.
 
uuuugggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh
 
1:51 PM
Unless I'm on the mobile version of the site
Okay, fine mobile safari

A: How do I kill the cute little balls of fluff?

Grace NoteFirst and foremost - get a pre-emptitive strike by approaching from behind. Pasarans can move through walls but they are still relatively slow in their floating. Getting the first turn is crucial for all kinds of setup. The first stratum Pasarans have Run Away, which is a leg skill. If you bind ...

I consider that one valid use though.
 
@fbueckert Correct, we have no set standard. I think "spoiler-ing everything in a post" is dumb, as is spoiler-ing the heart of an answer to a question that someone asked is dumb, but there's some contexts that I may be more lenient on it.
 
@Sterno I like that one because to me, there's a progression. I gave you the answer to the problem you ran into, and then now you're pretty much prepared to know the basics of what's going on to be able to solve the remaining problems on your own, but in case you don't, here's a guide.
 
@StrixVaria Ah, that makes the post about the Joker make more sense now.
 
@GraceNote Exactly! If you'd spoilered the first part too, then it would have been silly.
 
1:54 PM
@Sterno That would've been absolutely dumb, agreed.
 
I am glad I don't give any shits about Batman vs Superman or whatever this movie is.
 
@StrixVaria Good, let's talk about the word "literally" again too!
 
Speaking of EO, by the by, I apparently have a 3DS now to play that copy of EO4 I bought a while back.
 
@GraceNote I beat the normal game but haven't done any post-game stuff.
I think I liked 3 better.
 
@Sterno prescriptivism is literally bullshit.
 
1:57 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, we needed you in here yesterday during the hour long conversation.
 
@StrixVaria Who is Ben Affleck?
 
@GnomeSlice Are you literally asking that?
 
...Yes?
 
@GnomeSlice You know that thing called the internet?
Try using that.
 
@GnomeSlice doesn't have the internet.
 
1:57 PM
@GNOMESLICE DOESN'T HAVE INTERNET

Fine, nevermind.
'An actor' wouldn't have really helped either, to be honest.
I don't care enough to search.
 
I don't know who Ben Affleck is.
 
@StrixVaria I recognize Matt Damon
 
@GnomeSlice How in the world do you know who Matt Damon is but not Ben Affleck?
They're in literally every movie together.
