Q: Who invented the first flag?

An answer on this site claims that the first flags were heraldic flags used in battles. But when was this, and for which nations?

Oh wait not that kind of flag

kalina

@fredley I will agree with this

the rest have worked pretty much flawlessly the entire time

@OrigamiRobot It's only four, and the first three are really good.

fredley

@kalina Collision detection in a <pre> is a bad idea kids

Michael Dunfield

2:08 PM

I have no idea about the other one though.

Ben Brocka

@fredley you should give a link to the "save" so people can bookmark it, like Candybox. I never remembered my save, I just bookmarked it

OrigamiRobot

@MichaelDunfield -games +things

Better?

Grace Note

@OrigamiRobot It lets you mark up to 15 skills to show up like this, so that you can see how much change happens at any time and how you're doing without needing to check your sheet all the time.

Michael Dunfield

@OrigamiRobot I would just ignore the 'things', probably.

fredley

@BenBrocka I do...

Michael Dunfield

2:09 PM

$1 for three great games is pretty boss.

Ben Brocka

@fredley Ohhh I see it now I just saw the popup thinger

OrigamiRobot

@MichaelDunfield The fact that I'm ignoring them is what makes me not want to do it.

fredley

Michael Dunfield

@OrigamiRobot Then check them out? I dunno, there's some music, a visual novel, and a few games.

Grace Note

@MichaelDunfield I believe Origami can find a quote wherein he, like I, points out that we aren't the types who'll buy a whole bunch of extras to warrant a small price for a handful of items we want.

Michael Dunfield

2:11 PM

@GraceNote Yeah, I'm aware of that. I'm trying to convince him to get over it for this one. :P

Unionhawk

On a scale from one to candy box/cookie clicker, how much am I going to regret clicking that link?

Michael Dunfield

Michael Dunfield

Jul 2 at 18:10, by OrigamiRobot

And honestly, I don't wanna pay $5 for one $10 game I kinda want if it comes with 5 games I will never play.

I am better at chat search than @OrigamiRobot.

Unionhawk

@fredley So worse? Fantastic.

(because, at the end of the day, cookie clicker is a little dumb)

fredley

I am interested in who completes the game first. I don't even know if it's winnable at the moment

@MichaelDunfield Also, visual novels and graphic novels shouldn't be confused.

@fredley Nevermind then, not interested in the slightest.

@fredley NEED. MOAR. STARS.

I tried watching one, and I couldn't get through it.

@kalina I didn't participate

@MichaelDunfield Why gender?

Michael Dunfield

@fredley It's... it's not obvious?

Grace Note

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, this is how it goes for me mostly. When I went for the groupees bundle that had Croixleur, originally all I was going to be getting was just three games plus a bonus soundtrack for one of the games, so I was green for it. Some time in between then and when it ended, somehow I now have like 8 things I don't even know what they are. It bothers me a bit.

fredley

@MichaelDunfield No

Michael Dunfield

The most obvious one is that there are zero male characters.

fredley

2:17 PM

@MichaelDunfield Untrue

Michael Dunfield

And children identify with characters of their own gender.

fredley

@MichaelDunfield Spike is male.

Michael Dunfield

@fredley Is he a main character?

fredley

@MichaelDunfield Yes

Michael Dunfield

I still think it's directed at girls.

kalina

2:17 PM

I think Shog9 really doesn't like me

fredley

@MichaelDunfield You won't watch it for that reason?

TZHX

Spike isn't really a main character.

OrigamiRobot

I don't think something needs male characters to be directed at males.

OrigamiRobot

@5pike I stand by what I said.

SaintWacko

@Sconibulus damnit, you beat me to it

Michael Dunfield

@fredley That's not exactly what I said.

TZHX

MLP is def. aimed at female viewers; but that doesn't mean only young females can find it entertaining.

Michael Dunfield

2:19 PM

I'm not four, for starters.

Grace Note

@OrigamiRobot Given the setting style and the actual direction of the cartoon style the issue is a legitimate one. No, not all things require a male to appeal to or be directed at males, but in this case it's the kind of show where a viewer typically connects and identifies with the characters.

Michael Dunfield

@GraceNote They add bonuses to them.

Grace Note

That doesn't stop it for everyone but for some folks it will.

@MichaelDunfield Which I didn't particularly care for or want.

Michael Dunfield

@GraceNote I guess you can just ignore them. Sorry about that, I forgot to mention that.

fredley

Part of the problem is Males are so used to things being directed primarily at Males. It's normal for Females to watch things primarily directed at Males but for some reason the reverse is jarring.

OrigamiRobot

2:20 PM

@GraceNote And I don't think a character needs to be the same gender as me for me to identify with it.

You're right though, the main characters in Spring Breakers are all women and that film was definitely aimed at men.

For obvious reasons.

But we're talking about a children's show

@Unionhawk Why the disapproving face?

Bechdel test

The Bechdel test ( ) asks whether a work of fiction features at least two women who talk to each other about something other than a man. Many contemporary works fail this test of gender bias, as detailed in the "Application" and "Limitations" sections below. The test is named after the American cartoonist Alison Bechdel. In 1985, she had a character in her comic strip Dykes to Watch Out For voice the idea, which she attributed to a friend, Liz Wallace. The test was originally conceived for evaluating films, but has since been applied to other media. It is also known as the Bechdel/Wallac...

OrigamiRobot

@MichaelDunfield Because you're not a child.

Michael Dunfield

@OrigamiRobot Which is why I don't watch MLP

OrigamiRobot

You don't have to be a child to enjoy children's shows.

fredley

@OrigamiRobot This is very true. You just have to be hungover.

Sconibulus

2:23 PM

@OrigamiRobot You have to admit it helps though

Michael Dunfield

@OrigamiRobot Depends on the show I guess, because I agree with you.

kalina

@fredley not just hung over, you could be in the middle of being very high from <alcohol/drugs>

old cartoons at 6am are always awesome

fredley

@kalina Yes. I am aware of that.

in fact, it was the "excess alcohol" that got you into it

kalina

@MichaelDunfield how many seconds/minutes of my little pony are your observations based on?

OrigamiRobot

2:26 PM

@MichaelDunfield I must have missed it because all I saw was you saying it's for kids and girls.

Michael Dunfield

@kalina About 5 minutes of some random episode.

@OrigamiRobot That is my observation, yes.

fredley

@Blem Fixed. Reload game.

kalina

@MichaelDunfield and do you think it's fair to base such a loudly voiced opinion on such little exposure?

Arperum

badp

basically we'll know when the #2 countdown ends

5pike

@badp Steambox?

kalina

@PrivatePansy looks nice overall although the category page looks a bit bare in comparison to all of the other pages

I imagine applying a similar layout to the author's articles page would work better

Private Pansy

2:30 PM

@3ventic The image width isn't wider. It's just the ragged right edge of the text that makes it look that way

badp

There's 3 announcements, chances are the 3rd's going to be the major one

fredley

@Arperum Fixed

@MichaelDunfield Your generalizing by saying that's the reason you don't want to watch it.

Private Pansy

@Wipqozn Really?

fbueckert

2:32 PM

So has Valve announced what they've been teasing yet?

Arperum

@fredley YES. If you are going javascript you'll have to do that. Not supporting IE is reasonable though.

Wipqozn

@PrivatePansy Yes. Gabe made a comment about that a year ago I think?

Michael Dunfield

@OrigamiRobot What am I generalizing there? Myself?

Michael Dunfield

@Wipqozn No his point is the opposite.

Private Pansy

@BenBrocka It's Surface and Surface Pro, now.

Michael Dunfield

@RonanForman When do I ever do that

kalina

and it probably is one of the best products Microsoft have ever built

it's just expensive, has no apps, etc etc etc

saturated market

lots of cake

Private Pansy

2:39 PM

They also call it "one of the best-selling products in its class.", which must be a rather narrow class

Ronan Forman

@MichaelDunfield Constantly pushing your opinions on others, saying people to stop posting ponies because you don't like them.

Ben Brocka

It's the best selling Microsoft produced tablet

kalina

@PrivatePansy oh right, well that's only true if they've defined the class as "Microsoft Tablet" or something

Michael Dunfield

@RonanForman There's a different between saying and asking

Kevin van der Velden

@PrivatePansy marketing speak is easy! A valid class is "surface tablets"

Michael Dunfield

2:39 PM

But okay

Ben Brocka

If this thing isn't $500 I'm going to be disapointed

If it's $500 and the typecover doesn't feel like crap I might consider buying a pro

It'll probably be like $900 like the last one though

If everyone else is willing, then everybody wins

If they aren't, then I lose.

No harm in asking though

Private Pansy

@BenBrocka Yeah, especially if the claims about the extended battery life is true

OrigamiRobot

@MichaelDunfield How is that not trying to force your opinion?

@Unionhawk No. Each item of armour gives you one point of protection. Legs/boots boost low hits, Helmet chest proect high hits in DD.

Can someone direct me to a userscript that removes the tiny gravatars when you ignore people?

Michael Dunfield

@Wipqozn ?

fbueckert

2:51 PM

@Wipqozn I can see this now!

OrigamiRobot

@PrivatePansy Userstyle? Is that a different plugin?

Ben Brocka

@PrivatePansy OLED ones can be. Actually phone screens are usually considerably better than laptop screens

fredley

Yeah, N4 owner here, awesome screen

Wipqozn

@fbueckert yay! high five

Private Pansy

@OrigamiRobot Yeah. Stylish userstyles.org

@Wipqozn Also, I finally got my Worn Gunlance.

Wipqozn

@fbueckert Excellent!

fbueckert

@Wipqozn It looks very pretty. The shield glows!

Private Pansy

Peter Bright going nuts over the purple type cover is hilarious

Ben Brocka

> ~~Purple is the greatest colour in the world~~

lol this guy

Michael Dunfield

Green is my favourite colour.

Wipqozn

2:53 PM

As someone he is colour blind, I'm convinced that blue and purple are just different shades of the same colour.

fredley

@PrivatePansy I am going to use this to make a style that displays onebox images from GnomeSlice with 0.1 opacity until I mouse over.

kalina

@BenBrocka purple is the greatest colour in the world

Ben Brocka

Green is my favorite too but harder to get right

Blue is much easier to make look good

fredley

@BenBrocka BLACK. BLACK ALL THE WAY.

@fredley General rule of thumb when writing styles for Stylish - use copious amounts of !important

kalina

@Wipqozn bottom left, what a nice colour

Wipqozn

Purple is just a different shade of Blue.

kalina

@Wipqozn middle left is even nicer

OrigamiRobot

@PrivatePansy My hero <3

fredley

@PrivatePansy I have done plenty of css hacking in my time...

Ronan Forman

2:54 PM

@Wipqozn They have different hues though.

Grace Note

@BenBrocka Purple is a color

fredley

I made a skin for gaming.SE to make it look like SO at my last job

kalina

@fredley you cheat in counterstrike: source? :O

Wipqozn

Some of those colours are identical.

At least to me, poor colourblind me.

fbueckert

@Wipqozn Those are two different colors!

You're crazy, turtle.

Ben Brocka

2:55 PM

@GraceNote waaaaah

fredley

@kalina Yeah. Just !important all over the place

kalina

@Wipqozn :(

Private Pansy

@fredley Ha! You know, you could just use a userscript to change the stylesheet to SO's

Grace Note

@BenBrocka Waaaaaa

@kalina, @3ventic, @Unionhawk - If you play Payday 2 today, please drop a message via steam.

Private Pansy

2:55 PM

Since all SE sites share almost the same HTML, it works

Wipqozn

The middle square in each of those pictures look identical to me.

fredley

@PrivatePansy That's pretty much what it was, but there were some further things that needed fixing up

kalina

@5pike in ~2 hours I will be

Ben Brocka

> The Type Cover has a proximity sensor: the backlight is dimmed if your hands aren't nearby.

neat

5pike

@kalina Sounds good. Just message me.

3ventic

2:55 PM

@5pike In an hour or two

kalina

@Wipqozn wow that's pretty bad, I feel sorry for you :(

fredley

@PrivatePansy When I say skin I really mean script

Private Pansy

@BenBrocka The Logitech K810 has that too

Wipqozn

@MichaelDunfield Green is a solid choice for a favourite colour. I like Green.

Ben Brocka

@Wipqozn turtle bias detected

Private Pansy

2:56 PM

It was one of the more expensive Bluetooth keyboard I found when I was researching.

fredley

This surface2 looks like a legit machine. If it can handle Ps I might be tempted

Michael Dunfield

I hope I didn't offend anyone by saying what my favourite colour is.

Wipqozn

Also, the military considers colour blindness a positive trait in a soldier. It makes camouflage less effective.

I'm basically a super hero.

Private Pansy

@Wipqozn wut

OrigamiRobot

I think my next Two-Headed Giant team name will be Turtle Bias

Ronan Forman

2:57 PM

@Wipqozn Only certain kinds I'm guessing.

fredley

> It is not the simple changes that ~~this city~~ everybody wants, but it's the changes people need.

Wipqozn

@RonanForman Most likely.

5pike

@Wipqozn Except you are a pilot

OrigamiRobot

Previous names were Grave Potato and Beef Waterfall

Ben Brocka

@fredley I think you mean the pro. Surface 2 will probably be trash just like surface RT

Wipqozn

2:57 PM

@5pike I think you a word.

fredley

@BenBrocka Yes, that is what I mean

Ben Brocka

@fredley IT apparently has good AV abilities, they showed off 6k video stuff

Private Pansy

@BenBrocka Presumably Surface 2 will be running RT? Geesh...

fredley

@BenBrocka Yeah. Good enough for Minecraft.

@PrivatePansy RT 8.1

.1x as better!

5pike

@Wipqozn Sorry, what?

Private Pansy

2:58 PM

@fredley Wouldn't they just kill it already

Wipqozn

@5pike Exactly.

fredley

@PrivatePansy Clearly not.

Pretty colours

Wipqozn

Also "I think you missed a word" is what I was trying to say in a clever way, @5pike.

I'm not sure who @spyder is but I now consider them a monster since I pinged them by mistake.

kalina

@Wipqozn it was your fault for confusing S with 5!
