« first day (1149 days earlier)      last day (3906 days later) » 

2:01 PM
Ahahahahahahahahahahaha so, last week, a dude posted a youtube video in which he broke the world record for fastest lap of Manhattan.
A week later, NYPD arrested him and siezed his car for egregious speeding violations
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Does he get to keep the record?
 
@MichaelDunfield it's not like there's an official body keeping track of these things.
it's just a thing lunatics do at 2 AM and post to youtube.
 
So... yeah, WordPress' import/exporter is absolutely horribly broken
 
@PrivatePansy WordPress is absolutely horribly broken.
 
This usually wouldn't be a problem, since if you're migrating a site you could just backup all the files and database, then tweak a few settings and reupload them to the new host
 
2:05 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, I heard of that.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm only impressed by such records when they're done while not violating any traffic laws.
 
That merits a stupid award of some sort.
 
The problem is I'm dealing with WordPress.com, which, as it happens, has a vested interest in keeping the import/export process as broken as possible, since one of the services it provides is to help do a guided transfer out of WordPress.com
 
@MartinSojka He stops at red lights!
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz If he had enough money to bribe the cops buy a filming licence, he wouldn't need to even do that much.
Thus "... while not violating any traffic laws." Else it just becomes a question of money and connections, not of driving skill.
 
2:07 PM
@MartinSojka well yes, but the point is, that he basically did follow traffic laws. Aside from, y'know, flagrant and excessive speeding.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's kind of a big one
 
@MichaelDunfield I know.
@MartinSojka What money and connections? The dude just got arrested.
The previous record holders mainly avoided it simply by not being caught.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz The fact that this is even a thing with previous record holders is kind of funny.
Does this happen often?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz .. and if he had the connections to get a diplomatic visa, he wouldn't get arrested. See? Connections.
 
@MichaelDunfield People speeding? Yes.
 
@OrigamiRobot No the 'world record lap time of manhattan' thing.
 
> Previous records were set by CBC with 26 minutes in 2010 and before that Alex Roy with 27 minutes back in 2001.
There's an attempt every couple of years.
 
@fredley so far they've been
 
@KevinvanderVelden I do link to non-RB videos, just not that particular time
 
2:13 PM
@fredley [Citation needed]
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Do they all get arrested?
 
@MichaelDunfield This is the first (successful) one to result in an arrest afaik.
 
@fredley ees da bess
 
The starlist is fixed! Still too many links, but at least all of them link to friday!
 
What was wrong with it?
 
2:17 PM
1 hour ago, by Arperum
Too many links in the starlist. And not a single one is friday
 
@fredley That doesn't even look like a sloth.
 
@OrigamiRobot YOU DON'T EVEN LOOK LIKE A SLOTH
 
Or even Andy Samberg
 
@OrigamiRobot Ok, how's this?
 
2:20 PM
I just wont click it.
 
@fredley BORING
 
Also, who cares about Friday?
 
I care about Friday
 
Who cares about @kalina?
 
nobody does
don't even know why I bothered coming back here
all this abuse from you... "people"
 
2:21 PM
You came back for @GnomeSlice, but he's gone now.
 
no
I hope you all die in a fire
 
I tried to calculate the speeding route around Manhattan. Not sure if I got it right from the description, but that's about ... 27km or so? So he did an average of 77 km/h?
 
@StrixVaria You've linked the wrong video
 
@kalina Could you at least make sure the fire is sufficiently hot? Don't want to end up half baked.
 
2:23 PM
@fredley I most certainly did not.
 
@Arperum half baked is the joint-best ice cream
 
This music video is appropriate for all days.
Including Friday.
 
7 mins ago, by Arperum
The starlist is fixed! Still too many links, but at least all of them link to friday!
Did anyone actually click the link?
 
no
 
2:24 PM
@OrigamiRobot It's worth reposting.
 
@kalina aw. It's not even actually friday :(
 
It's so amazing.
 
It reminds me of all the Arrested Development chicken dances.
 
arrested development is so boring
 
@kalina YOU SHUT YOUR FILTHY MOUTH RIGHT NOW
 
2:26 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz NO YOU, IT HAD ITS MOMENTS BUT IT WAS OVERALL BORING
JUST LIKE THE OTHER THING YOU MADE ME WATCH
Breaking Bad was a major victory though
so I'll give you credit for that one
 
Arrested Development is just Breaking Bad for model houses
 
no
Arrested Development is nowhere near as good as Breaking Bad
it's more like Friends but slightly better
 
@OrigamiRobot That would actually be awesome in a certain way.
 
@Arperum sure, if you could survive it
And manage to interact with the world somehow
 
2:33 PM
Yeah, I want my replacement cyborg body.
 
@OrigamiRobot This is a bad person.
 
@Sterno Nah, it's hilarious.
 
@OrigamiRobot Those are not mutually exclusive.
 
I wish someone had done something like that to me while I was in the hospital.
Hospitals are so boring.
 
@spugsley @OrigamiRobot requests more emotional abuse.
 
2:37 PM
@OrigamiRobot removed your body except your head? Okay
 
@BenBrocka He's a robot. It wouldn't even hurt.
Granted, being made of paper would make it harder to reattach...

Q: How do I access Game Keys in the Desura Client?

leetfanAfter activating or buying a Game via Desura, you can view your Keys for the game itself or other Digital Distribution Services on this page. But how do you access this page in the Desura Client?

 
3:00 PM
I am happy this morning.
 
@JasonBerkan 7 TD passes?
Is that a record?
 
Ties a record, I think.
 
@MichaelDunfield Gameplay video?
 
Delicious, delicious flags.
 
@StrixVaria Er, sec.
@StrixVaria
 
GTFO boring flags
 
I know literally nothing of the game, but it came recommended highly from a friend who likes indie games even more than I do.
 
3:44 PM
I like good games regardless of "indie" labeling.
 
I will take every chance I can to point out that "indie" is a buzzword and is meaningless.
 
@StrixVaria Yeah, me too.
@OrigamiRobot Eh. I still think it has some of its meaning.
 
@MichaelDunfield It describes a company, not a game.
 
@RonanForman Yeah. Or a developer without a company.
 
I've just had a massive stroke of luck
 
3:46 PM
@MichaelDunfield So "indie" has no bearing whatsoever on the actual game.
 
My shaving appliance ran out of battery just as I finished using it
 
@badp Battery?
 
@OrigamiRobot I dunno, I was just agreeing with him to sound smart.
 
@OrigamiRobot yeah.
I'm not using a razor because I'd like to have a little bit of length to my facial hair so that people know I am not indeed 15 years old :P
 
@badp Isn't your ninja mask always covering it up anyway?
 
3:49 PM
@OrigamiRobot Not the 'stache area!
plus if it's long enough it actually pokes through the mask
so that's not good.
 
Oh that would look terrible
 
Any fans of Mark of the Ninja?
dat animation
 
I miss @GnomeSlice.
 
@Sterno I'm still here...
 
@MichaelDunfield Imposter.
 
@MichaelDunfield I don't know what game that is, but it looks fun.
 
@Sterno I tried my best
 
Jin
how did i miss that?
 
dat animation
Okay I stopped the flags in the travel room.
 
4:01 PM
@MichaelDunfield how is he doing this?!
I need to know.
 
@Mana Physics.
Hang on let me try to find you more info.
 
so all of the animation is just physics?
 
@Mana I think so, but I don't know for sure.
A lot of it is, anyway.
> The player character moves a little differently from in most 2D platformers, it is not animated by traditional means but with simple physics. This is an attempt to make a character that appears a little softer, as well as an experiment with a different control scheme.
 
@Jin I hadn't seen that either

Q: Arqade's 2013 Somewhat Secret But Not So Secret Secret Santa

RetrosaurLooks like the community's very interested in a Secret Santa, so this "question" will be reserved for more added info about the activity. If you're curious about the name, last year I realized that you had to have added your "target" before sending a gift, which meant somewhat giving away who ...

@SepiaLazers I'm glad we needed two posts on this :/

Q: Do Skill Tree skills stack?

MaintainkExample: Sharpshooter (Aced) - 25% Decrease to assault weapon recoil Leadership (Aced) - 50% Decrease to all weapon recoil The Professional - 50% Decrease recoil to all silent weapons So does leadership affect only unsilenced weapons, and or do all of these stack? All of these are from diffe...

Q: How far is the stronghold from your stronghold?

zombiewolfmanThe stronghold seems to be really far away from my spawn point, and I end up losing all the 'eye of enders' I have. Any idea on how far a stronghold can be from a spawn point?(Since there can be just 3 in a world, I assume they can be really far away!)

A: How do I access Game Keys in the Desura Client?

Michael DunfieldI've never actually used this section of Desura before, but it's called the 'Collection'. It doesn't appear to have a dedicated navigation spot in the client, but I found how to get to it anyway. Worth noting is that the Desura client is largely a glorified web browser that uses the Desura webs...

I made an answer yay
in You Are Here, 30 mins ago, by Michael Dunfield
I don't think you guys made enough flags.
I'm so funny.
I think if the same user flags more than two messages within like 10 minutes you should be able to see who is flagging.
 
@MichaelDunfield I'm constantly impressed by the quality of stuff coming out of tigsource
 
@Mana I don't follow enough of it to really comment on that, but this looks pretty sweet wouldn't you say?
@Mana you're mostly into platformers right?
 
4:15 PM
@MichaelDunfield Remember what happened last time you did this?
 
@OrigamiRobot No?
Also they starred it twice.
 
Somewhere around 7 months ago?
 
@OrigamiRobot @MichaelDunfield has never been to a room but the Bridge until now.
 
@MichaelDunfield yeah
 
So you decided to reinvent yourself into the same person making the same bad choices?
 
4:16 PM
@OrigamiRobot Leave me alone.
 
Don't tell me what to do.
 
I'm going to make my name 'ಠ_ಠ'
 
@MichaelDunfield ಠ_ಠ
 
@OrigamiRobot I think this is a bit harsh. I don't think Gnome intended to cause trouble.
 
4:19 PM
@MichaelDunfield No you're not.
 
@Coronus You're right, I'm not.
@Mana @MichaelDunfield*
 
that being said, we should probably try to avoid sticking our head into other chatrooms' politics where possible.
 
C'mon, Cookie Clicker! I wants me some dungeons to fill with cookies!
 
@Mana I don't. He's doing the exact same thing that he was told not to do right before he got his 6 month ban.
 
@OrigamiRobot That had nothing to do with my ban and you know it.
Or maybe you don't.
Well you do now.
 
4:21 PM
I don't believe that.
 
4 mins ago, by OrigamiRobot
Don't tell me what to do.
 
@Mana I'm just offended. The Bridge is supposed to be the network's source of stupid flags.

@OrigamiRobot Ask @Mana I give him permission to disclose details.
I forget why I was banned to be honest.
 
help
 
Someone else telling me isn't going to make me believe it.
 
4:22 PM
I have a stupid stuck flag counter
grrrrr
 
@fbueckert I have to say, I'm intrigued and want to see them.
 
@kalina Refresh
@OrigamiRobot He is a mod.
 
@kalina Burn the flags.
 
@kalina Refresh
 
@MichaelDunfield I know, I just wanted to complain about something... I haven't complained for at least 15 minutes
 
4:22 PM
@kalina The Horror
 
@MichaelDunfield And?
 
I'm proud of you @kalina
@OrigamiRobot And his word is law.
 
@MichaelDunfield uninstall the mod
 
Pfft
 
au naturel is better
 
4:23 PM
@Coronus Yeah, I'm interested in how he's going to do it.
 
@kalina I agree.
 
Do you get a cookie sword?
With chocolate chip upgrades?
 
I AM SO BORED
IT IS EVERYBODY ELSES' PROBLEM

@kalina ignores @kalina
No longer my problem.
 
@fbueckert you're so mean to me
 
Awww. Lovers' quarrel.
 
@kalina Hey, you make it my problem to solve.
I solved it.
 
In early 2014 when Continuum is back on, I am going to spoil it for you
 
4:25 PM
@kalina Not if you're ignored.
 
@kalina He's mean to everyone.
 
@RedRiderX anybody who ignores somebody as kind hearted and innocent as I deserves all of the hell fire and bad karma they unleash on themselves
 
@kalina He ignored me like a month ago.
 
@MichaelDunfield stop
 
yes but you are neither kind hearted or innocent
 
4:26 PM
@Mana ?
 
@MichaelDunfield it's like, the opposite of go
 
@kalina Whaaaaat I am both of those things.
@kalina Oh, okay.
 
@MichaelDunfield that silence is the sound of a room full of people who think you're funny
 
@kalina I can't tell if the world is supposed to implode by the sheer gall in this statement or not. :P
 
@fbueckert unicorns
 
4:28 PM
@kalina nor
 
sets fire to @RedRiderX
 
@kalina I apologize. It was an almost automatic reaction.
 
It's fine
it's hometime
the battle of kalina vs boredom has only one clear winner
 
@kalina Does this cure boredom? Or relocate it?
 
4:29 PM
@RedRiderX So was her response, I suspect.
@kalina drugs?
 
drugs is a good answer
anyway BYE
 
@Sterno I thought Math's was giving us a run for our money for a bit there.
 
Also, this is the first time I've been set fire to by @kalina. An interesting experience, to say the least.
 
@RedRiderX I gave you a grenade launcher. All the better to aid you in dispensing explosive death.
 
@fbueckert Nice!
 
4:33 PM
You no longer require a pistol. It's now a grenade launcher, and as many grenades as I can stuff into your backpack.
 
@fbueckert So it would be a ridiculously bad idea for @kalina to set fire to him.
 
UTE'S FIRESTORM IS COMING TO TOWN! WHOOT WHOOT!!
 
Ute is my grenadier too.
Weird.
 
@RedRiderX Still not a patch on @AshleyNunn and her hug gun.
She's so eager to hug people that she hugs herself.
 
@fbueckert True.
 
4:39 PM
Yo.
 
@Yuki You, you're just getting exercise. You don't even bother firing a shot, keeping up with the locusts that are the melee characters.
 
@fbueckert So I'm a locust tender?
 
@Yuki More or less.
 
Talk about thankless jobs...
 
4:42 PM
Hiding behind them with your medkit, so you don't take hits.
 
Meh. That's what support's all about. Love being support.
 
@Yuki I can give you some leadership abilities too, so that the locusts move faster and are less susceptible to psionic attacks.
 
@fbueckert That sounds nice.
Resistance to psionic attacks is really good, speaking from XCOM experience.
 
@Yuki 'tis. Afterlight gives you less feedback on it, too, so your first inkling of mind control tends to be them turning around and shooting you.
 
4:47 PM
@MichaelDunfield Looks interesting.
 
@Yuki I have some friends playing it who are really impressed with it so far.
in You Are Here, 1 min ago, by HaLaBi
whats the criteria used to ban?
ah somebody help me
in You Are Here, 1 min ago, by HaLaBi
@MichaelDunfield any explainations?
 
Users can flag a chat message.
Other users (typically mods) can view flagged messages.
 
@JasonBerkan my fire is a ranged attack
 
If they approve of the flag (validate it), then the flagged user is banned for 30 minutes.
 
in You Are Here, 39 secs ago, by HaLaBi
I will write something, u flag it.. and lets see.. ok?
no no no no no no no
 
4:50 PM
Oh.... dear...
 
@MichaelDunfield Is this guy your sockpuppet?
 
@OrigamiRobot No.

 You Are Here

Chat room for Travel.SE travel.stackexchange.com
@OrigamiRobot Come help.
 
@kalina So you're safe. What about the people nearby?
 
I'm not great at this.
 
Why?
 
4:51 PM
@OrigamiRobot Because you are good at this.
And because I am your friend and I asked you.
 
I don't even know what "this" is
 
in You Are Here, 4 mins ago, by HaLaBi
@MichaelDunfield any explainations?
in You Are Here, 4 mins ago, by Michael Dunfield
If a chat flag gets approved, you get an automatic suspension.
Is this correct?
 
@MichaelDunfield yes, 30 minutes, if 6 normal 10k users approve or one mod approves, and the comment is deleted
 
Nice trap card @Yuki
in You Are Here, 1 min ago, by HaLaBi
you are 21, it is cool to be flagged for you...
Hahahahahahahahaha
 
@MichaelDunfield Trap card?
Not sure why what I typed would be considered a "trap card"...
 
4:54 PM
@Yuki Yu-gi-Oh reference. "Nice trap card Yugi"
Yeah, I guess not.
I just wanted to make the reference with your name.
 
in You Are Here, 5 mins ago, by Michael Dunfield
No, that's an abuse of the flagging system.
 
@MichaelDunfield I got that. Just didn't see how that applied.
 
How quaint
 
@Yuki It didn't really.
@OrigamiRobot Quaint?
 
Why do I have a better understanding of the chat flag system than a user with more than twice my rep?
Heck, almost more than three times my rep.
 
4:56 PM
Rep != Knowledge (or anything, really)
 
You'd think that someone who's spent more time on the site than me would know a bit more...
 
guys, do you know a way to get the old "total annihilation" game? or if there is a new version of it hiding under another name? or something like it?

Q: When and where can you catch Salmon and King Salmon?

lonewookieWhen exactly can you catch Salmon and King Salmon? The guidebook (which is notoriously unreliable) says Sea (early September) River (late September). Is it anywhere in the sea?

@HaLaBi Loved that game.
There's a "sequel" in Supreme Commander, and #2.
 
yes it was addictive...
supreme commander is not really nice.. and slow graphics..
other one which I hope there is a new version of it "transport tycoon".. sorry I know I am old :D
 
4:58 PM
@Jin Hey, is there going to ever be a fix for chat not removing the flag counter in chat when no more flags exist?
 
@HaLaBi OpenTTD
 
openTTD is like a remake if I recall correctly.. I am asking about a new version with some nice graphics.
