@kalina If we star this, It will sit there as a constant reminder to @LessPop_MoreFizz
 
@skovacs1 I don't want your stars
2
 
Could we just not start this again?
 
2 mins ago, by FEichinger
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeh, because that's gonna work.
 
@skovacs1 Yeh, yeh, I know.
 
@FEichinger I can't help it, my other alias is little miss star bait
 
12:03 AM
@kalina You're doing a tremendous job at that anyway.
 
@FEichinger well I am a professional, what would you expect?
 
@kalina I would expect you to be professional about getting starred, too.
But that's asking too much, isn't it?
 
HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
 
Hmmm. Strange thing in Cookie Clicker. Achievements say I have 2 to go. Game code lists 3 I'm missing. In the achievement section, the two I'm missing are present and greyed. This implies that the third is a shadow achievement, but there's no reason for it to be. This extra achievement is for clicking 77 golden cookies and falls perfectly in line with the 1,7, and 27 golden cookie achievements.
@spugsley For a sec, the H looked like a K and the latter I's looked like l's. I think I need a break.

Q: What effect do fortresses have on the world in Dwarf Fortress?

Layl ConwayIn dwarf fortress, what effects do fortresses have on the overall world? Can you play a military outpost defending from invading armies or play a large farming complex supplying the surrounding area with food through trade? Overall can your fortress have a lasting effect on the world? (limited t...

 
12:08 AM
It's a wild @spugsley.
 
user15026
@spugsley HELLO
 
@FEichinger Your star-bait was ineffective.
 
@skovacs1 That ... was actually not star-bait.
I've given up on @spugsley star-bait. She usually does that quite nicely on her own.
 
@FEichinger I AM NOT STARBAIT!
3
 
@spugsley Yes, you are.
 
12:11 AM
I AM A PERSON WITH FEELINGS
AND A LOT OF YELLING AND PENIS JOKES
7
 
@spugsley That is indeed true. Those aren't mutually exclusive, however.
@spugsley ∎
 
user15026
@spugsley That's why I love you
 
@AshleyNunn mmmmhmmmm ;)
 
@FEichinger All I see is a square.
 
12:14 AM
@skovacs1 That is what you're supposed to see, yes.
 
@spugsley penises are pretty funny
 
my potato tastes like bug spray
I hate outside
@kalina yes. If you look closely, every joke I've ever made is about a penis
actually, in truth, everything I say is about a penis

user15026
Penises all the way down....

Aug 26 at 17:56, by OrigamiRobot
@FEichinger's Law of Gravitation says that every topic on The Bridge, must, inevitably, eventually return to sex, food, or insanity.
 
@AshleyNunn yes a slippery slope of penises

user15026
12:17 AM
@spugsley ....its like a really awkward carnival ride
 
who said anything about awkward?
 
:o
 
user15026
@kalina I dunno, they might poke uncomfortably
 
true, but they might also poke comfortably
 
sigh
 
12:18 AM
@kalina Like a massage!
 
yeah! exactly... kinda... like that, yeah!
er
 
@FEichinger I thought it was supposed to be ★
 
@skovacs1 No. If I want to send a star, I send a star.
 
@FEichinger Why a square though?
 
@skovacs1 U+220E
And now I shall proceed to die from laughter at the previous conversation.
 
12:23 AM
@FEichinger ∏? That's not the black square I see. Are you sure you entered the correct code?
 
NOOOOOOOOOOO
SALAD DRESSING EVERYWHEREEEEEEEEE
5
 
What the hell is going on in here? O_o
 
@spugsley So that's what you call it, eh?
 
@spugsley ... in light of the previous conversation, this is a terrifying euphemism.
 
@Fluttershy lack of ponies; abundance of @spugsley
 
12:24 AM
creamy goodness
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz O_O OMG I DIDNT EVEN REALIZE OMG
I hate you all.
 
@skovacs1 It's the End of Proof character. There's several variations of it.
 
@Fluttershy ummm...I came in
 
@skovacs1 I think you mean "lack of ponies; abundance of penis"
 
@spugsley That was rather obvious.
 
12:25 AM
@spugsley You are not helping yourself here.
 
@FEichinger Interesting. My course on proofs never used that mark.
 
user15026
@spugsley ...no comment
 
@Fluttershy Those are equivalent.
 
@FEichinger Wait what, @spugsley has a penis?
 
Spugsley is to penis as penis is to penis
 
12:26 AM
:(

user20683
Pops his head into the Bridge and looks around
 
what...is this...
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz The correct logic would be "@spugsley is a penis".
 
user20683
O_o
 
But, no, that's not what I was shooting for.
 
12:26 AM
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY BEAUTIFUL CHATROOM YOU MORONS.
4
 
@FEichinger all of this talk of penis and cummings and you choose to say this?
 
@Mana I take full responsibility....:3
 
user15026
@FEichinger ......oh god
 
@kalina Subtle, isn't it?
 
@Mana Good question.
 
12:27 AM
YOU GO AROUND SCREAMING "GNOMESLICE, GNOMESLICE, HE'S SO LEWD AND TERRIBLE, HE RUINS THE CHATROOM WITH HIS TALK"
 
@Mana I've never said that
 
@Mana I have never said that
 
Neither have I.
 
BUT LOOK AT THIS. LOOK AT YOURSELVES.
 
user15026
@Mana Pretty sure that isn't what happens
 
12:28 AM
you are thinking of the wrong people
 
LOOK AT WHAT YOU HAVE BECOME.
 
@Mana @spugsley shouldn't look at herself, she's covered in cream
 
user15026
I am the same as I always was
 
we are the perverted people that come in at night :3 The Bridge :After Dark
 
YOU ARE THE GNOMESLICES.
4
 
12:28 AM
@Mana Nor I. Also, I don't scream except when telling @spugsley that her capslock is malfunctioning.
 
@kalina 'salad dressing'. Please.
 
@kalina SALAD DRESSING
 
we call it salad cream
 
user15026
Yeah, come on, keep up with the terminology
 
also it's on the floor not on me
 
user15026
12:28 AM
@kalina That....no
 
@spugsley Only at night, huh?
 
you missed yourself?
 
@Mana WHO SLICES THE GNOMESLICE?
 
user15026
@spugsley Bad aim.
 
well that's disappointing
 
12:29 AM
@spugsley Aren't you also on the floor?
 
SPILLING SALAD DRESSING IS A LEGITIMATE PROBLEM
 
oh my god.
2
 
@spugsley This situation calls for R. Kelly.
 
what am I supposed to do. what do I...do...
 
user15026
12:29 AM
@spugsley There's pills for that I think
 
@spugsley One would think so, yes.
 
FIVE YEAAAARS DUNGEON
 
@Mana something something fanfic.
 
NO TRIAL
 
@spugsley I have the exact same problem with sandwiches that have grated cheese in them, whenever I eat such a thing the cheese always falls out the other side
 
12:30 AM
@kalina Which also invites similar conversations.
 
@kalina YOU. DUNGEON. EIGHT YEARS.
 
Every. Time.
 
user20683
@Mana calm down for a second and think about this.
 
user20683
You can't suspend me
 
@Mana YOU want ME in a dungeon for 8 years? Really?
 
user20683
12:30 AM
well you could
 
user15026
@kalina ....sandwich with grated cheese?
 
user20683
but it'd do nothing
 
@AshleyNunn yeah, it's the lazy way of doing it
 
@Mana Dungeon? Really? Sex talk leads to dungeon out of all things? Rethink that, perhaps.
 
I linked the wrong R Kelly song, my bad, I didn't want Ignition, I wanted this one:
 
user15026
12:30 AM
@kalina why not like...sliced cheese
 
user15026
@FEichinger oooh sign me up
 
user15026
I mean....no. that would be terrible
 
@AshleyNunn hey don't ask me, ask the people who make the sandwiches! I just buy them
 
oh my god I hate all of you.
 
@AshleyNunn No, I totally didn't see that coming.
 
12:31 AM
@Mana ME TOO
They've turned my crisis into a sex game!
 
user15026
@FEichinger Course not
 
@Mana :(
 
user15026
@spugsley yeah but you started the penis talk so
 
@AshleyNunn Right, it's all @spugsley's fault.
So, let's blame @Wipqozn for it.
 
user15026
12:32 AM
@FEichinger Works for me
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz what is this... I don't even
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz dear lord these lyrics. tag this NSFW please.
 
@FEichinger a marvelous idea!
 
@Mana It's R. Kelly. NSFW goes without saying tbqh.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz This
 
12:32 AM
@kalina It's R. Kelly. This is just what he does.
 
@Mana Don't you think we could just tag the entire chat NSFW at this point?
I'm just saying.
 
Also, these lyrics aren't anywhere near as awful and also appropriate to this room as Usher's 'Dot Com'.
 
user15026
I mean we can throw a tag on it
 
this chat is perfectly safe for work, I talk about penis all the time when I'm at work
 
nah, we're calming down now
 
12:33 AM
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz I am scared to check that
 
user20683
room topic changed to The Bridge: General gaming chat room, wherein we compare and contrast the relative merits of LASERs and LAZERS and their patented applications in diamond making and cat exercising. [3yo] [all-hail-the-glow-cloud!] [freezies] [jin-fanclub] [lazers] [moon-duties] [never-safe-for-work] [spugley-house-warming!]
 
The best song Usher has ever performed.
 
@WorldEngineer This.
 
> OOooooh I need your Backspace in my life. Thank god you don't have a flat screen.
 
12:34 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz is this supposed to be funny? or actually sexy?
 
@Mana It's R. Kelly, so probably originally the latter, but now he claims it's the former, but if we're being honest, it's probably both.
> I can't wait to give you megabytes. I've got all the memory you need.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz :(
on a more positive note, NEW BREAKING BAD TONIGHT.
and it's going to be a good episode.
 
@Mana It won't have enough Huell and that makes me sad.
 
@Mana tomorrow for me :(
 
I think we got enough Huell this season already
 
12:36 AM
unless it's already on or I don't sleep
 
@Mana No such thing as enough Huell.
@kalina 90 minutes until it's over
 
ok so 2-3 hours until it's available to download
it's already 1:30
thus, we'll go with "no sleeping"
which isn't that bad, considering I woke up at like 5pm
 
I wonder if I need GTA 5
 
@Sterno Have you played Saint's Row 3 and 4 yet?
If not, you need those before GTA5 probably.
Fun fact about Dot Com: It was cowritten by Robin Thicke. Yes, that Robin Thicke.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I installed SR3 last week but haven't had time to play. Installing counts for something, right?
 
12:40 AM
no
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz you mean #THICKE?
 
I installed Bioshock Infinite
but still haven't started it
 
@kalina At least start it for a few hours to collect trading cards.
 
that sounds too much like weakness
 
@Sterno Yeah, that dude.
Mister 'got twerked on by a teeny bopper'
 
12:44 AM
this seems to be doing well
I liked Wing Commander...the game
 
user20683
The movie wasn't completely terrible
 
user20683
only mostly terrible
 
this is a better Wing Commander movie.

Q: Why do my gnomes not use wheelbarrows?

leetfanI have about 15 Wheelbarrows in my Kingdom, yet my gnomes barely use them. Is there a (hidden?) minimum skill requirement or anything? How can I make my Hauler Gnomes use more Wheelbarrows?

 
@Lazers @GnomeSlice Do you not use wheelbarrows?
 
12:56 AM
Hey, can we talk about deleting duplicate answers?
 
Is it me or is Malcolm McDowell awesome in everything?
 
@Mana Eh, what about?
 
I'm unconvinced that we should, and the meta thread seems to agree. but there are a lot of flags and downvotes that end up going on to them.
 
@Mana downvotes are perfectly legitimate on late dupe answers.
 
Personally, I just leave them alone. I don't have a problem with duplicate answers so long as they are not identical. Just because an answer covers the same information does not make it bad, but if it doesn't add anything, then it probably should have been an edit or comment on the previously existing answer of the same.
 
12:59 AM
Downvoting, that's up to you, I can't really argue with that. But deletion?
 
As for flags, a lot of 'duplicate answers' are just wordy 'me too, this worked for me' answers that ought to be deleted, or deserve deletion because they aren't just redundant, but full of poor writing and spelling and generally just not good, and expecting someone in the community to spend effort to fix them when there is actual valuable content that needs fixing seems silly and wasteful. That said, I cast delete votes. Not flags.
 
not that I'm pretending I even know what's going on, but I was sure the general consensus before I randomly vanished was that late duplicates were noise and should be deleted under the "improving signal to noise ratio" purpose of stackexchange
 
I'm just happy when a question gets the best answer possible without ruffling too many feathers or creating too much waste.
 
makes sense.
I guess I just feel bad for new users who come on to the site, drop answers that are correct, even if they're not the absolute highest quality, and then they get deleted.
I mean, Stack Exchange isn't the best model for easing in new users. It's super high pressure the first time you add content.
 
that depends if you read the FAQ or just jump in without RTFM
 
user20683
1:03 AM
@Mana Then it is your job as a mod to help them
 
also, what he said
 
user20683
Because that it what we do
 
user20683
Yes, it's sink or swim to a degree but that's partially the point.
 
@WorldEngineer yes, and generally that is what I try to do. I leave comments on each answer prior to deletion if the issue has not already been explained.
 
user20683
The site is optimized for future users searching
 
user20683
1:05 AM
not for current users getting every little thing they want, hence the ban on things like "What game is this?"
 
but in situations like this where the community and I seem to disagree on what should be done, I need to reach an agreement as a mod as well to make sure that I don't act against the community's best interest.
so I'm arguing this to convince myself that this is the best thing that we can do for the new users. or for the site in general.
 
@Mana are you being disagreed with? Because honestly, who would ever want to disagree with you?
reveal their identities so I can set fire to them
 
well, I was on the "don't delete this stuff" side of the fence. now I'm kinda on the fence.
 
oh right well
 
user20683
Delete stuff
 
1:08 AM
you don't have to listen to my opinion, since I've only been a member of stackexchange for 27 days
 
user20683
as a mod, this is where I stand
 
but my understanding was the purpose of stackexchange was to not fill the internet with garbage
and a question with multiple identical answers on it is filling the internet with garbage
 
user20683
@kalina You've been a member for much longer than that
 
nuh uh
27 days
says so on my profile
 
user20683
The fact that there was a break in between in immaterial
 
user20683
1:09 AM
@kalina Do. Not. Lie. To. Me.
 
user20683
Understand?
 
but easing the user in more gently and not deleting their content right off the bat might lead to them becoming a better user and contributing awesome content
 
user20683
It's not technically a lie
 
27 days
 
user20683
1:10 AM
but you are technically resurrected
 
@Mana keeping it around long enough for them to see the comment I agree with, but the content still needs nuking
 
@WorldEngineer I can't tell if you're being serious here, but kalina's definitely joking
 
user20683
@Mana Make a decision
 
user20683
Am I being serious or not?
 
al...alright. :( you're not.
 
1:11 AM
he is, he's being threatening
 
user20683
am I?
 
he's scaring me
 
user20683
are you sure?
 
100% serious
 
man, friggin' Canadians these days. what the hell happened.
 
1:12 AM
@Mana ??? Did we Canadians do something?
 
oh
I thought @World was from Canada for some reason
 
@Mana I think the best thing to do here is to not unilaterally delete them, but if they have multiple 10k delete votes, feel free to cast the last one.
 
I've always held the opinion that we're too trigger happy with deletes
and by always I mean... 27 days
 
@kalina later?
 
user15026
@Mana Nope
 
1:13 AM
@Mana no, that starts tomorrow
 
user15026
I am though
 
Similarly age of the dupe answer plays a role - if it's months old, and getting flagged by someone who's doing a cleanup, and the anon poster of the dupe answer has never returned, what's the harm of deleting it and cleaning up the site?
I think we get a little bit too paranoid about driving away people who were never going to (or in some cases, never have!) come back anyway sometimes.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz there's a bit of this, but there is some trigger happy deleting going on too
 
talkin' 'bout some TRIIIIIGEEERRRR HAAAAPPPPPYYY DELETIN'
 
oh no, don't delete me
they won't undo it a second time
 
1:17 AM
guitar riff
 
user20683
@kalina good to know...
 
user20683
:P
 
it was apparently a lot of work to put me partially back together
 
@kalina and it was so worth it...................
 
@Mana you're thrilled, I can tell
also an ellipsis is only three dots
 
1:19 AM
Look at this face! Does this face look anything but thrilled to you?!
 
every time you break that rule, a country in the middle east is carpet bombed by America
coming up next... the story of how Syria using chemical weapons resulted in an international response utilising chemical weapons
 
@kalina Better, faster, stronger...
 
@skovacs1 yeah definitely, I'm missing all of my meta post baggage
I can truly operate as a stealth operative again
 
thank god I live in Canada. I hope my story isn't one of those tragedies that takes a turn for the horrible in my thirties or something.
 
1:23 AM
I don't get it
 
who, me or skovacs?
 
both
 
with me I'm just paranoid about Canada getting carpet bombed
shit's too peaceful, something bad's gotta go down sometime or another
 
oh right, well America only know about a handful of your population centers, and the rest of them aren't densely populated enough to justify using that tactic
 
@Mana Nah, we wouldn't bomb Canada, we'd invade.
 
1:25 AM
with skovacs...he's saying the mods rebuilt you from scratch after a terrible disaster, like they did with the Six Million Dollar Man
only Better...Faster...Stronger...
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz after that particular war, there would still be large parts of canada that weren't aware a war had happened
 
Canadian Bacon is a 1995 comedy film which satirizes Canada–United States relations along the Canada–United States border written, directed, and produced by Michael Moore. It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival, and was the final released film to star John Candy, though it was shot before the earlier-released Wagons East!. Premise The President of the United States (Alan Alda) has not led his country into war, and his approval rating falls. His National Security Advisor, Stuart Smiley (Kevin Pollak), suggests Canada as a new enemy after seeing ...
Very much so.
 
@Mana it's hard to improve on "perfect in every conceivable way"
 
@kalina ohho, well done. claps
 
@WorldEngineer Technically correct is the best kind of correct.
 
1:33 AM
@Sterno hey, this is my line
I know you are the puppet master pulling the strings but you can't steal my lines
 
I don't think you get to claim sole use of Futurama quotes. Besides, you missed your window on that one.

Q: How to enable the dota2 ingame guides

VordrellerI've recently subscribed to a dota2 guide via the steam workshop, but nothing has changed so far in the game. Are the guides perhaps something that only show up in the test build or do I need to activate some setting? Guide in question: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1287...

 
Also, no one cares what a mod of a lame site like Programmers thinks. We here at Arqade deal with important issues.
Like mouse probloblems.
And tit physics.
2
 
@Sterno I wasn't going to use it in this instance
I also don't care much about tit physics
and isn't the official name for that "jiggle physics"?
I'm guessing the sudden silence means Breaking Bad is on
 
... crud, I left my 3ds's charging cable at the lake.
 
@kalina you are correct. See? Arqade is needed to define proper terminology. What's Programmers ever done for the world?
 
More important than jiggle physics is that there is no more Continuum until next year
 
I was unimpressed with the season finale.
 
it was a little meh
 
1:52 AM
I'm also unimpressed with their resolution of last season's finale.
 
but better than season 1's finale
Also, no more Lost Girl until next year either
not to mention the last season of Dexter doesn't appear to be that great so far
 
@fbueckert even more entertaining when you see his 'answer' to that same question... defacing a good answer to make his crap look good?
 
and, I should have waited several more weeks before I watched every episode of Burn Notice
since I've watched every episode in a week except the last two, which I now have to wait 3 weeks to see
 
@TrentHawkins Yeah, I saw that.
 
@kalina it started bad, moved up to okay, and seems to be sliding back down to bad
 
1:54 AM
and then there's Breaking Bad
which seems like they're just desperately trying to tie up loose ends
 
He also tried to edit the question.
 
I'm so glad I still have a delete button
 
user15026
@fbueckert some people just don't quit
 
@AshleyNunn Thankfully, that's what our big red button of doom is for.
Hmm. I wonder is Xillia 2 has bonuses for transferring a save game from the original.
 
@kalina I dunno about 'desperate'. It feels like everything has been building to this moment, and now it's all just colliding wonderfully.
I don't feel like anything is really being 'tied up' per se though.
 
2:02 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I feel it didn't need a year break just to tie everything up. I want some explosions and some drug pushers brains splattered all over the floor
 
@kalina have you been watching this season? It's been pretty fucking explosive.
 
if the series doesn't end with walter killing jesse and hank along with half of the DEA, I will be sad
 
That Confession.
 
oh bla bla
10 minutes of talking isn't explosive
 
@kalina I'm kind of more expecting jesse to be the one killing walter, tbqh
 
2:04 AM
it's just 10 minutes of talking
the last episode did kinda look like that would be the case
jesse has certainly lost the last of his sanity
 
Can you blame him? He's been put through enough shit
 
meh
I think I should sleep
I don't think I'm going to be awake enough to be productive at work tomorrow otherwise
er... later today
...in 5 hours
it's just a bit sad
you've got Dexter without Dexter killing anybody
you've got Breaking Bad without Walter melting people with acid
it's just sad
 
Apparently the tried and true method of, "Given 'er gas" when attempting to tow stuff works, even on a moon.
 
2:25 AM
Jesse did it to himself.
"The guy I cook meth with manipulates me because I am stupid" does not make me feel pity for him.
 
2:45 AM
I'm back again :3
 
@spugsley Cue phallic conversation.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz NO. I'M GOOD NOW
 
I am struggling not to buy a Scary Deer t-shirt.
 
Can we close this?
@Retrosaur that wouldn't make the question "off topic" — kalina yesterday

Q: How can I get around the Raid Boss time limit?

Ben BrockaBorderlands pulled a pretty jerk move and made the new "Raid Bosses", Master Gee and Hyperious The Invincible(s), work on a 24 hour timer. Since they drop absolute crap, ~10 crystals each time when you need >100 to buy a weapon, it's clearly ideal to cheat the clock. How can I get around the rai...
