6:00 PM

oh hey, we got a last minute entry.

We can't help that it's a popular name ;)

LAst, er, hour?

I thought this was Tim Stone when I saw his thing in the star list.

Haha

@djsmiley2k Dude, you need to write a little more in your nomination if you want a shot.

6:00 PM

I'm, uh, honored? ;-)

@Sterno ronnie 2

2 hours left

@StrixVaria That's true. A little less would also be acceptable

My roommate for 1 semester in college was also a "Tim S".

"vote for me me pro much"

6:01 PM

dawn of the final 2 hours: 2 hours remain

Too many tims

@Sterno ................................................................................‌.......................................................

Yeah, I guess it was bigger than I thought:

gaming.stackexchange.com/election/3#post-49061

well sterno said i should be supreme overlord, and he is pro much, so thats gotta count for something right?

He had a 1/40 score and that's better than 0/40

6:02 PM

@StrixVaria I had a roommate for just one semester in college..

50 ways to say goodbye is such an entertaining song

RIP ronnie

@TimS. Assuming your avatar is a picture of you, it wasn't me.

@StrixVaria on his tombstone, we will write "me pro much"

@StrixVaria I know, I would be really surprised if you were a Lacrosse playing stoner named Andy

HEADCANON UPDATED

6:05 PM

Hmm

Never tried pot, never played lacrosse, not named Andy.

oh hey, I haven't done or been called any of those things either!

@StrixVaria I know :)

well, I assumed

hah

@Wipqozn Lacrosse is your national sport. What kind of Canadian are you?

I think that means @StrixVaria and I are the same person, or close to it at least

@StrixVaria I thought Hockey was

6:06 PM

@Wipqozn Fun fact, it's actually lacrosse.

@Wipqozn i thought it was you and @badp

Holy crap he's right

@StrixVaria Wait wat

Holy crap

Lacrosse in Canada

Lacrosse was first declared the National Game of Canada in 1859. In 1994 Parliament passed the Canada's National Sport Act which declared lacrosse to be "Canada's National Summer Sport", with hockey as the national winter sport. == History == Lacrosse was invented in the 1850s, when the Anglophone middle class of Montreal adopted the Aboriginal people's game of "baggataway", which was a violent game played by the First Nation teams numbering hundreds of players. The first known game between whites and Aboriginals took place in 1843. In 1856 the Montreal lacrosse club was established; by the mid...

Hmm

6:07 PM

@WIPQOZN IS A FAKE CANADIAN: DATA ACCEPTED

Ah, well Lacrosse is basically summer hockey ignoring the fact that field hockey is a thing

@Unionhawk That is true.

Man this is nuts

MY entire worldview has changed

@Wipqozn i don't know if i can vote a fake canadian in for mod

@GodEmperorDune Sure you can. A Fake canadian is the next best thing to a real Canadian!

Also there's a new nominee for you to ask questions to @GodEmperorDune

6:11 PM

@Wipqozn if you are a fake canadian, how do i know you actually like maple syrup?

@Wipqozn nah work is too busy for me to ask questions

@Dragonrage Dude, I put that shit on everything!

How Can @Wipqozn Be Real If Canada Isn't Real?

maybe i'll press on the answers to @GraceNote's official mod questionnaire

@Wipqozn hmm and you did post that yooka-laylee video

@Wipqozn You can't be a real Canadian since you just compared maple syrup to excrement.

6:12 PM

@Unionhawk what is your position on yooka-laylee?

I just saw @StrixVaria's grilled cheese thing and while mine doesn't count as grilled cheese, for lunch I had bread + butter + mozzarella cheese + basil spread + tomato, grilled

IT WAS DELICIOUS

Also, wtf is there a r/grilledcheese sub?

user15026

I've only played lacrosse in gym class in schol

I'd eat a grilled cheese sub right now

@Sterno Yes

There's a sub for literally everything

6:14 PM

@Unionhawk That is literally true.

@AshleyNunn TIL @AshleyNunn is a better canadian than @Wipqozn... actually wait i already knew that

@Sterno darn i got inb4'd.

There is, however, no sub for literallytrue

I blame @Wipqozn for distracting me with saying that maple syrup is equivalent to excrement.

@Sterno This is literally true

6:16 PM

Q: The Age on Summon command is not working

The item always despawns after 5 min no matter what I specify for the Age. /summon Item ~ ~1 ~ {Item:{id:minecraft:planks,Count:1,Age:1}} Please, how can I summon an object that will despawn after x minutes vs 5 min?

minecraft-commands

@GodEmperorDune I'm curious about this too. Surely @Unionhawk is a huge old school Rare fan.

@Wipqozn so far he's ducking the question. Not a good look for a mod candidate

also @uni i would like to hear your stance on the Archer season finale, but i haven't watched it yet

Regretfully I am unfamiliar with both of these things

ukuleles are neat.

@Unionhawk WAT

6:23 PM

@Unionhawk wow, well @GodEmperorDune, looks like you know who to vote for now!

@Wipqozn yep, the race is yours to lose now

@Wipqozn neither @uni nor @wip

because you cannot vote for a fake canadian

@GodEmperorDune Excellent./

But aren't all Americans just "Fake Canadians" after all?

I'm sure I can manage to not lose for a week.

6:27 PM

I have heard Canadians be referred to as "Fake Americans" though... I'm sure that person is voting red this year.

@Wipqozn just don't do whatever you did the last two times you ran :p

user15026

I still don't know how I beat him last time...I've even stepped through the STV results and it still baffles me that you lot picked me as mod.

@AshleyNunn because everyone knows @Wipqozn is the worst

@AshleyNunn I'll take that as an endorsement

Wow, I'm not running for mod and even I know about Yooka-Laylee.

Granted, I backed it so...

6:35 PM

@Dragonrage Wait...what if this was the plan all along? @WIPQOZN IS RIGGING THE ELECTIONS

I'll put some more time in the review queue and maybe run for mod next time around. Maybe.

@John i wouldnt be surprised. it is something that the worst person would do

@AshleyNunn because you are a real canadian

@Yuuki Worst thing that happens is you answer some tough questions and then you get a shirt.

@John they said they don't give swag for just running anymore

you have to win now

6:37 PM

@GodEmperorDune Oh

:(

6

user15026

Yeah, they don't do running-for-election swag

Oh man, I hope I win then. I need a new PJ shirt.

user15026

Also why is there a badp reddit? Who decided that should be a thing?

So my "I lost the election" shirt is limited edition now?

@AshleyNunn I'm more concerned about "why can't we read it"

user15026

@John The whole thing is weird

user15026

6:38 PM

I am very confused by it

@AshleyNunn I'm pretty sure I know who.

@AshleyNunn all we know for sure is it was badpn't

@AshleyNunn let's just blame @Wipqozn even though we all know @Yuuki did it.

@Yuuki i have a suspicion as well

Serious question @John As a candidate, how do you feel about getting stars for being sad?

user15026

6:38 PM

I just think that making weird unreadable reddits for people whose name is not yours is not a good thing and should not be a thing

user15026

Because like...that's taking things to a weird place

Wait. I just realized that if I run for mod and win, I can definitively prove my "@AshleyNunn is every mod and takes over your account if you get a diamond" theory.

user15026

@Yuuki Either that or if that is true, you won't know because I can just take over you and say I didn't and no one will know

You just become the hivemind

@AshleyNunn Blame Evan

6:40 PM

@AshleyNunn le gasp

@Yuuki but by the time you win you will be assimilated so...

@fredley who is evan?

@Dragonrage It is and always has been more of a joke about @Wipqozn being mean to me than anything.

I'm not actually sad all the time or anything. Unless I'm talking to @Wipqozn.

@GodEmperorDune Me but also presumably someone else

@GodEmperorDune SO's biggest troll/@uni

user15026

@fredley I figured that was why.

6:41 PM

@Unionhawk y u do dis

I didn't

@Unionhawk I can't believe you've done this.

Neither can I

user15026

@GodEmperorDune Evan Carroll, styles himself as a giant trollbox across the network (although he's been mostly silent of late, it seems? At least I've not heard much, which is okay by me)

user15026

Used to run in every election he could find with pretty much anti-SE platforms

6:42 PM

@AshleyNunn I remember him...that being the reason for them stopping giving shirts out makes sense I guess.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Could've just gone with "we'll give out shirts to everyone except Evan. This includes @uni."

@AshleyNunn the rep requirement didn't stop him?

user15026

@GodEmperorDune Nope, he'd make it work.

I just figured it was because @RavenDreamer bankrupt @StackExchange with all those huge TVs he won

@GodEmperorDune He would participate on the site just enough to nominate himself

6:43 PM

He was just an ass, not all of his posts were complete trolls

it only took like one good post to get nomination rep

user15026

@GnomeSlice A lot of them were, though

which he did post sometimes

to get the rep needed

@Yuuki especially if evan's stuff just "got lost in the mail"

user15026

Or he'd make enough not-troll posts to get there

6:45 PM

i wanted to bespeckle myself with the arwing logo

Here's such a post

thanks evan

Ooo... John Boyega is starring in the Pacific Rim sequel.

AUGUST 2017, BABY

GIANT ROBOTS PUNCH GIANT MONSTERS, ROUND 2

> No one here is mentioning that he's playing Idris Elba's character's son. This is gonna be fucking awesome.

O_O

@Yuuki i still don't get why it's live action instead of animation or full CGI. I would think it would be much cheaper

@Yuuki because all the black actors are related!

seriously though, did they annouce idris elba is the new bond yet? why are they waiting so long?

Full CGI is ridiculously expensive. The artists that work here are by far the most expensive resource in the whole company

6:53 PM

@TimS. Where is "here"?

I work at ILM (Lucasfilm)

weeeee

@GodEmperorDune Nah, he's too famous already

I'm hardcore gaming it up

PEGGLE BITCHES.

@TimS. Oh, neat.

6:54 PM

yeah, it kills me that I have to quit this job.. the family didn't adjust well to moving across the country

@TimS. i was think like pixar full cgi rather than transformers full cgi. does it make a difference?

@TimS. ... have any job openings?

Who's hiring: Bridge edition

@GodEmperorDune Gotcha.. animated vs more realistic

I think almost everybody wants new jorbs

cc: @SaintWacko

cc: @Wipqozn

6:54 PM

@fredley i like my current jorb

@Yuuki hah they're still looking to fill my position actually.. Unix System Administrator 2

> almost

Good news everyone! Mirror's Edge Catalyst info has been release!

@fredley cc @Frank

@fredley i am the only person who matters

6:55 PM

@TimS. Yeah, I just graduated so I'm looking at something more entry-level. Doubt I'm qualified for that.

What info you ask? Clearly the most important info

@fredley I'm also fine for right now

@TimS. What happened to the first one?

@fredley first what?

@fredley kill -9

6:55 PM

Or is just how they name things in the film industry?

@fredley He escaped with a dinosaur egg hidden in a can of shaving cream.

Snow - Informer (metal cover by Leo Moracchioli)

LOL

MIRROR'S EDGE CATALYST HAS !!!!MULTIPLE!!!! DARK SOULS REFERENCES. THIS IS NOT A DRILL

Unix System Administrator 2: sudo reboot

Oh, 2.. its just a skill/experience thing

if I were to be promoted, I'd become a Unix Sys Admin 3

etc

6:56 PM

So Key Lime Pie Oreos aren't half-bad.

As far as Oreos go.

the perks of this job are incredible

@twobugs You either die a hero or live long enough to become a meme

That sounds like a cookie abomination.

@TimS. "Return of the kernel dump"

@fredley Haha

6:57 PM

holy fuck, just played a quick game in Overwatch and randoms are so dumb

I'll talk to George Lucas about starting that project

@Chippies DUH

@TimS. i thought he sold off ILM

@TimS. Please get the artists to mock up some posters for your job postings

Oh he did, I was just kidding

6:57 PM

Yeah, I don't like playing pure random matches in OW now. I need at least one friend to sit with in group chat and go 'oh god our randoms are bad'

I took one for the team and was the tank and we didn't even have a support and half the time I had no idea where everyone else was, besides being dead

@Unionhawk It's a headline and I'm upset

He actually sold all of lucasfilm (parent company to ILM) to Disney

2012

@TimS. right

@twobugs emphasis theirs?

6:58 PM

@TimS. That was a terrible film

@Unionhawk No but I refuse to click

"Game has reference to game" is not news

@fredley Haha

also the whole thing about matchmaking matching you against the average level of the group, rather than individual levels is pretty annoying, because my team were all 10-15 and their team was 6-30

@MadMAxJr It definitely has a distinctive "key lime" smell when you open up the package.

Strange Magic terrible?

6:58 PM

@twobugs Exclamation points theirs?

@twobugs top 10 hidden easter eggs. you won't believe what they reference next!

Exclamation points are a result of my boredom

Then my statement stands

:p

I get one more chance for a movie credit, I'm hoping warcraft is it.. we'll see though

1 hour to get your last-minute nomination in.

6:59 PM

its a crap shoot here in IT

Only you can give us primaries.

The first one they mention is someone apparently saying "Praise the sun"

So. Yeah.
