@badp Yeah, they're working on an API, but it won't land for 57
@badp I don't notice any difference. The Bridge uses Verdana, which is a wide font
 
You can use the inspector and choose 'Fonts' in the style sidebar to see which font is actually being used
 
Verdana on both I believe
 
That's odd
 
I think you're just insane
 
12:32 AM
it's unquestionably wider.
probably just different keming
 
The only difference I notice is how much space the username type area takes up
 
user15026
@badp yeah it is wider or something its weird
 
... Why do people use speakerphone in crowded areas?

@Yuuki either they believe their conversation is so interesting to everyone else...or they are like my mum who think it's easier to speak to

Q: How to unlock all difficulty levels?

user598527Max Payne 2 locks all difficulty levels ("Dead Man Walking" is an alternative game mode") by default, forcing players to complete the game multiple times. Additionally, "detective" is an adaptive difficulty level according to the game's Wikia page and experienced players may want to skip over th...

 
@Yuuki that's pretty clever

Storybuilding

Proposed Q&A site for both professional and amateur writers who want to make their story realistic and engaging. For those wanting to build their world, go to worldbuilding.stackexchange.com

user15026
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment I feel like this might be weird semantic pickiness but I also don't spend much time on WB except HNQ so maybe it isn't
 
2:48 AM
Yeah, I don't understand the distinction
 
Some sample questions would probably help
It's either a Worldbuilding or Writers dupe
The question is which
 
3:20 AM
@quartata sounds like a mix of both by the first line. realistic = Worldbuilding, engaging = Writers (i think)
 
@Yuuki hue
 
well, we know why in Family Guy when Peter tried to copy Scrooge McDuck he was horribly mangled. Scrooge trained himself
 
3:38 AM
So I finally opened.the cave story+ manual that came with the game and holy shit this is some nostalgia
Remember when games came with instruction booklets?
(this one does include some spoilery stuff like "how to get the best ending" with a full page of "hey stop this is spoilers" before it)
 
@Unionhawk i still want those days back
 
3:50 AM
The switch release of cave story+
Switch boxes have a spot for it
But this one is the only game I've seen with one
And I'm not counting the mini controls overview in Mario kart
Also holy hell this game is hard
(I'm currently trying to defeat the boss in the labyrinth)
 
4:07 AM
Fallout's game manual was pretty awesome

Q: RetroArch 1.6.7 - Remap XBOX 360 Controller to Multiple Cores

ZephyrI am using LaunchBox with RetroArch 1.6.7 and am having trouble getting my controller buttons mapped properly. I want to use the 360 controller for NES, SNES and Genesis cores. I have found many guides on how to map the buttons using controllers specific to these cores, but none that would help ...

@Yuuki heh, nice.
there are some outages where everything goes down where this wouldn't work but I think that it might actually work at some outages. I want to try it now :p

Q: opening Tinder phrases

MrA.A.I have been gaming tinder app for some months and I just did match with a SUPER cute girl T-T I dont want to screw it up so please tell me some opening phrases for get that bitch into my room. (i didnt see the tag tinder sorry for using other tags)

 
@Lazers2.0 oh god what
 
I need eyebleach
And like
Le sigh
 
did OP really upload some rando person's tinder pic
wow
wat
also wtf
 
Also why doesn't tinder have screen protection enabled
 
6:49 AM
if it wasn't such a terrible question, i'd start with "maybe respect her instead of referring to her as "that bitch""
 
Incels.
 
Ugh, Haskell.
Everything from the syntax to the tooling to the documentation is just... ugh
Haskell documentation has gems like this in them
> Haskell provides indexable arrays, which may be thought of as functions whose domains are isomorphic to contiguous subsets of the integers.

Q: Can a RGH/JTAG Xbox 360 Console link to LAN Games on my Local Network?

GipsyDI am planning to RGH/JTAG my Phat Xbox 360 to play my backup games I made long ago. What I want to know is, if an "official" Xbox 360 (i.e Non-RGH/JTAG) was to host a LAN Server for a game, say Black Ops 2, would this modded console be able to connect, with a LEGIT copy of the game (not a backu...

 
8:18 AM
@Lazers2.0 so… do we close this or not?
 
@Avery one of those two
@GodEmperorDune also "Maybe don't have the goal be to have sex"
Also, MORNING CHAT
@PrivatePansy I understood some of those words
 
8:34 AM
@KevinvanderVelden eh, it's tinder but I agree.
 
@KevinvanderVelden tbf, Tinder is mostly to have sex AFAIK? Athough people also use it to get a long term partner?
Still: respecting the other party is the least that needs to be done.
 
Here majority is for LTR but I think that globally it's more about hookups.
But yes, respect and not materializing is important.
 
@Arperum I have no idea
 
I use it mostly as a distraction tbh. Tinder can be pretty fun if you're bored. But yeah... It's mostly for hookups.
 
8:56 AM
For some reason I remembered about the "left swipe dat" video
 
9:08 AM
As a virgin, I'm not sure whether using Tinder to get my first partner is right. Like roughly 70% of the Belgian teenagers and tweenagers, I feel like the first time shouldn't just be because I want to lose my virginity
 
Morning chat
 
Morning
 
@Nzall I mean I'm biased as I'm ace but eh, I treat it like any other event. If I chose to have it one day, I'd not really care about who I share my first time with, as long as they're decent people.
 
@Avery Ace? as in asexual?
 
Yes
 
9:17 AM
@Nzall Using any form of dating site/app isn't a great idea if you're sexually inexperienced IMO. It's definitely better if you know and trust someone already.
Most of my friends who had their first time with a stranger in an ONS don't really like to look back.

Q: Clash of Clans Connection

MannHelllo, i am just curious about this so i thought of asking it here I connected my Clash of clans account with Google Play when i was at town hall 7. It somehow got disconnected from Google play (it shows a red button saying Disconnected) and now i am Town Hal 8. What will happen if i reinstall g...

 
...but then how are you going to get that experience
 
@Jutschge Yeah, that's also part of the reason
@badp By first dating someone and going slowly?
 
@Nzall without "using any form of dating site/app"?
 
Friends of friends
 
9:19 AM
that hasn't worked for me in 28 years
 
@badp Same as people used to do it before dating apps? meeting people through mutual friends
 
mostly because I will only meet the vast majority of them exactly once, so I don't even, like, look at them
 
Just use okc?
 
Bars ususally for me. Usually a great place to meet new people. There isn't really the sexual pressure of a club and you can have conversations and exchange numbers etc
 
We are always just happening to invite single friends to things together.
To be fair the success rate is low though
 
9:21 AM
@Nzall also she's just really awesome
 
Also if you're shy one or two drinks can help with conversations (just don't get hammered)
 
Here's the thing for me: during my previous job, I had someone who I'd like to get to know better, but never had any real contact with. I have never really talked to her, I have added her on Facebook about a year ago, but haven't really done anything since
Checked out the things she liked, but haven't contacted her yet
 
Alternative strategy: do an activity with a strong social component. Do a sports or an arts on a weekly basis
@Nzall This sounds... a bit creepy
 
Just a bit.
 
@Nzall Just write a text. Invite her to a date. It's no big deal really. Yes, everyone gets nervous but the worst you can get is a no.
 
9:23 AM
I do parkrun every week, there's at lease one married couple who first met at parkrun.
 
@fredley It was a recommendation by my auticoach. The intent was to see if there would be some common ground to start a conversation with
 
Actually no it's creepy
 
@Nzall Have you talked to her at all? Would she know who you are if you texted out of the blue?
 
@Avery Eh who doesn't facebook stalk their crush?
That's a pretty normal thing in social media tbh
 
@fredley Assuming you mean through messenger (don't have her number), I haven't talked to her outside of a professional context yet
 
9:25 AM
It's not like you're following their every move. You're checking out some of their interests which can be helpful in a conversation.
 
@Jutschge I get it, and I know it's normal. Still find it weird.
 
Although I did at one point did something incredibly awkward at work where I kinda told a coworker off in a "you don't talk like that to a woman" way. not sure if she remembers that
 
@Jutschge y'all are reminding me of thr stalker I had
 
My gf had a stalker for a while, he'd send her really specific things. It was creepy as hell. We were on the verge of contacting the police (we knew who it was, an ex).
 
Kind request
Don't be a stalker
 
9:36 AM
@Nzall Awkward situations are the most awkward for you. You'll remember it for a while but usually most people don't remeber it (unless it's a huge fuckup or you do it on a daily basis). Saying something weird happens all the time and really isn't too big of a deal.
 
Ugh
Apparently the correct way to secure a school is the uh
 
Also when it comes to being creepy: there are a lot of things that can be either "romantic" or "creepy" depending on whether the person is attracted to you or not. (Again no extremes though. Extremes are always creepy)
 
You know the round things, usually put on top of walls?
To secure against thiefs and such
Apparently the best way to secure school grounds is the variant of those with tiny blades
 
@Avery barbed wire or razorwire
grats on attending school in a prison and/or military base, fam
 
And now I have to get a tetanus shot
 
9:40 AM
rekt
 
For wanting decent food.
@GodEmperorDune ah yes I heard "barbed wire"
@GodEmperorDune feels like a prison some days tbh
 
@Jutschge things that were historically "romantic" are now creepy. like standing outside someone's house and playing music in order to get them to agree to go on a date
 
Also how long are tetanus shots good for
 
A few months IIRC?
 
@GodEmperorDune hmm having someone show up at your house with flowers is pretty cool if you're crushing on them. Not so much if you're not.
 
9:45 AM
@KevinvanderVelden I heard 2 years but idk
 
@Avery depends on childhood or adulthood
Tetanus vaccine, also known as tetanus toxoid (TT), is an inactive vaccine used to prevent tetanus. During childhood five doses are recommended, with a sixth given during adolescence. Additional doses every 10 years are recommended. After three doses almost everyone is initially immune. In those who are not up to date on their tetanus immunization a booster should be given within 48 hours of an injury. In those with high risk injuries who are not fully immunized tetanus antitoxin may also be recommended. Making sure women who are pregnant are up to date on their tetanus immunization and, if not...
10 years as an adult
 
Ah
I last had one in 2012
Was forced to by govt. Which is how all vaccs should be.
 
yep
this one is annoying to take
it makes your arm sore for days afterward
 
Yeah I remember having a sore arm for that day at least
 
9:48 AM
maybe its the getting old, but my last one was for a few days
0/10, would not recommend getting old again
 
Ugh. I can't believe the solution to my desktop not being able to boot up is to take out the CMOS battery, give it a good rub, wait for 15 minutes, and put it back in again
 
Tetanus vaccine is less necessary to keep up on because you can take it shortly after getting a wound and it still works
@PrivatePansy sounds like it's time for a new CMOS battery =p
 
It should have taken only half an hour, but because this OEM motherboard is poorly designed, and the case is slightly too small, I had to remove the GPU. Which again took far longer than necessary because the DVI cable's screw got stuck into the socket
So I had to use a plier to remove the cable, then remove the GPU, then remove the battery >_<
Why would the motherboard refuse to boot if the CMOS battery is gone anyway? Isn't it just to keep the time?
 
10:04 AM
And certain settings as well
 
@KevinvanderVelden main problem is, it's hard to know if you got infected or not.
 
Which is why generally you go "Oh hey, I now have a deep cut, let's go get a tetanus shot"
 
it's not exactly a deep cut
 
It's Singapore, so everything is rusted. Including the bloody CMOS battery, which has gained a nice attractive green coating on the top
I suspect that's also why the DVI cable screw won't come out
 
hmm, green
 
10:06 AM
but the general belief here is, if you got cut by anything outside, then you risk tetanus. Not sure how true that is, but I'll give a call to my family doctor thing and see if they recommend getting a shot.
(except I have no idea how to call them)
 
@Avery Do you have their name?
 
@badp Hmm copper
 
@fredley oh no not the sports
a lot of the "just do things" stuff kinda breaks down when you're abroad, but eh, I'm definitely lazy as fuck and mostly waiting for a lightning bolt that is probably never going to come
easier to find excuses than actually change
 
@Nzall I do not. Lemme see though.
 
I tried to google Tetanus, accidentally googled Tenaus. Tena.us is the website for a producer of incontinence products...
 
10:11 AM
You should really start doublechecking what you're looking for
 
oh yes I found their name
wat
so
 
@KevinvanderVelden I know. I'm not really good at typing fast
 
@badp Online games also work. Actually anything you enjoy that involves other people. I've met my first partner at a LAN party for LoL. (It's also easier to hold actual conversations if you meet doing something you both enjoy). It doesn't have to be the sports :P
 
The society healthcare whatever system thing I'm given to is "Batikent 4ncu" but apparently my family doctor is at the other side of city at "altindag"
good system, turkey.
to compare, here's the distance from batikent 4ncu to altindag:
 
@Jutschge People used to find each other at work or church
 
10:23 AM
@Nzall I usually go up in flames when I step into a church.
 
@Jutschge satan_irl
 
Work... well yeah does happen but it's reeeeally shitty if you break up. Also it's distracting.
 
@Nzall here it's mostly used to b e parents forcing two people to marry, sometimes even getting money from the male's money, effectively selling their daughter.
 
@badp Expat meetups?
@badp Just do a sport that's not really a sport like climbing

ME: I can't turn the tap on! AMERICAN FRIEND WHO I INVENTED SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS JOKE: Force it ME: We call it a tap
 
I have no idea what the joke is supposed to be
Oh also @StrixVaria, my copy of oathbringer has an error, in the table of content it's called "Book Two" instead of book three
 
@KevinvanderVelden Faucet
 
@PrivatePansy oh
That's a terrible joke
 
@fredley you are terrible
 
11:58 AM
@PrivatePansy americans call it faucet? I thought that was reserved for super fancy people only
 
Basically Americans are the worst
 
@KevinvanderVelden autocorrect, I'd assume
 
@Chippies why would autocorrect translate english to london?
 
english -> london. I can sort of see that happening in a very hypothetical event
@KevinvanderVelden because who lives in london? english people
 
12:04 PM
That is not how autocorrect works
 
I've heard worse autocorrects from iphone users, so that one doesn't surprise me in the slightest
 
It tries to find typing errors, it's not a thing that looks through a thesaurus for 3 jumps away
 
also - swipe typing
or maybe the person is very foreign and couldn't think of the right word and used english -> england -> london
 
They're using whole sentences, quotes, punctuations etc. This does not look like a mobile phone problem
 
@KevinvanderVelden I'm not sure what to think of my mobile writing then, because I do all of those things on mobile as well
the only way you'd be able to tell I'm writing on my phone, rather than PC is that it's slower
I don't agree with people typing wrong and trying to justify it with "I'm typing on a phone" or "this is internet, who cares" or "this isn't school, nerd"
but I guess that's another topic
 
12:14 PM
@KevinvanderVelden Yeah I think all of them have that misprint.

Q: Snowballs and Armor Stands in post-1.11

DABSPIRITSo I was trying to make grenades and I used an armor stand tracking command set I found here How would I make something spawn when and where a snowball hits something? (MrLemon's answer) and it has an issue for me. After converting the commands from pre-1.11 to post-1.11 format (e.g. Snowball to ...

 
Hmmm my toilet is making a flushing sound forever
No idea how to get this to stop
@Avery honestly the Punisher kinda sucks. I'm really disappointed
 
@BlueBarren meh, kind agreed
 
@Avery there is no where near enough Punisher-esc violence. I understand a show shouldn't be built on violence but a character like the Punisher just is
I do however respect the issues they're trying to talk about with the show like PTSD
 
I'm only watching it to mess around with a friend
 
1:56 PM
@Avery How so?
 
he loves punisher.
he doesn't have netflix.
 
Ah
I see what you're doing
 
he refused my (kind) request to watch it with me.
 
@BlueBarren The valve (at the bottom of the tank) is probably stuck open. Increase the length of the chain that goes from the handle to the valve.
 
@MBraedley you are correct. I caught my mom before she left and she pointed it out. Now I know for the future
I thought she was already gone
Hence the concern
 
2:00 PM
I thought the Punisher was pretty good as far as the Marvel shows go

I found 50+ abbreviated tags which haven't been renamed since the character limit was increased to 35 characters. How should I handle those
Would each series get it's own meta request?
 
@StevenVascellaro you could do a single meta about abbreviated tags (maybe community wiki)
 
@StevenVascellaro No, that would be a bad idea. We already have a meta post that documents a number of them. Use that.
 
@MBraedley I remembered seeing one of those, but I couldn't find it when searching
Do you have a link for that?
 
Or use the existing one. Didn't know one existed though
 
And cross them off (or remove them) as per the tag wiki meta post.

Q: Increase tag length limit to 32 or 35

Mad ScientistBefore you go and close this as a duplicate, I'm posting this as a new feature request because a lot has changed since the last time this was requested. There are now no technical changes necessary anymore to increase the tag length in a certain range. And there is a precedent now on Literature.S...

That's a good one to use
 
@Nzall Thats been marked as status completed
 
@StevenVascellaro status completed to indicate that the tag limit has been increased. It can still be used to compile new tags to improve
 
@StevenVascellaro The tag limit increase has been completed, the action to rename affected tags hasn't
 
@MBraedley The tag list answers there seem to be very out of date
 
Edit the answer written as CW
 
2:26 PM
Ok then
 
> These tags were raised as examples and have now been changed as a result of this meta post. If you want a particular tag lengthened, please raise it as a separate meta question so the community can vote on it.
 
The other option is to create a new question and in the answer, list everything that needs updating
 
or maybe not
 
@Nzall The CW answer only lists tags that have been actioned
 
And list the problem tags in the question as well, but without your proposed solution.

I think now is the time when we say "Mods help!"
 
Nice, my books have arrived
part 2 through 6 of Codex Alera
I'm currently roughly halfway through part 1, and although the direction of the plot currently isn't as clear as I would have hoped, it's interesting enough for me to continue reading
So that's Mistborn 1 through 3, Codex Alera 2 through 6, Sin du Jour 3 through 5
and maybe some of the other books I have in my book cabinet that I have yet to read
Once I've finished Mistborn, I'm probably going to pick up the sequel trilogy which continues 300 years or so after the books before have stopped, and The Aeronaut's Windlass, the first book of the Cinder Spires
And then next year, I have Brief Cases, the second short story anthology in the Dresdenverse
