Ok. Then I'll just leave it on its own
No real way to un-community wikify it now
 
I don't think that the existence of a community wiki means no more answers should be added
 
tl;dr if you're wondering whether you should do community wiki, don't do it.
 
Ok. Lesson learned
 
@StevenVascellaro You can try flagging it or asking about it here
 
Alright, thanks
So, what would be the process for de-wikiing it? If it should be done at all?
 
3:01 PM
Similar to how we brought up not over doing the edit suggestions, someone else has been doing it too....
I don't understand the reasoning behind hunting down months to years old questions to edit a little bit of the grammar or spelling.
Just fills up the active questions list
 
@n_palum At least for me, I never specifically go in looking for questions to edit. It's more that I happen to be browsing questions on a specific tag, and I happen to notice grammar or spelling issues.
 
A brewery just turned up and started handing out free beers at work
Today is a good day
 
@n_palum In the moment, I'm just thinking "That's a typo/grammar issue. I should fix it, since that's what edits are for"
 
3:06 PM
I think there's a threshold for what really constitutes as needing an edit. If it doesn't make it more accessible, easier to read, etc than it's not really necessary all the time.
 
@fredley Writes Pope x Trump fanfic
 
user15026
@Chippies you called it, we picked a different flight and now the original one dropped in price again. Not going to change it, but damn it
 
@Ash I think it's time we push for a wing evolution
 
user15026
@Chippies I think so too.
 
although I wouldn't trust myself flying across the ocean...
 
3:12 PM
@Yuuki Should I flag to have my answer un-wiki'd?
 
Can't remember if mods can remove community-wiki.
 
@Ash BTW, skyscanner is great when searching for affordable flights, just saying
the search-on-multiple-ticket-sellers thingy is cool

@Avery I know :)
 
Did Trump just shove another NATO leader to be in the front of the group? https://t.co/bL1r2auELd
This timeline is so, so dumb
 
holy crap
he just goes push
 
Yeah, honestly even given Trump I was expecting it to be a bit more subtle?
But no he like straight up does the "Get out of my way" pullback
 
@TimStone I wonder if this will be the push for us to invent a multiverse traversal machine.
 
@Avery kayak also does this afaik
 
3:43 PM
til
 
@TimStone he even does the "Yeah, I just did that. What are you gonna do about it, punk?" face
 
user15026
I can't get it to play. :(
 
I like how he goes to "what the hell are you doing" face

Q: How to hide Unique Characters?

PhoenixI noticed that the generic Nine-tails have higher stats (equipment aptitude?) compared to Izuna. In fact, I checked that each Overlord have lower stats when compared to their generic counterpart (Geese - Chimera, Drumdawn - Zwei Head, etc.) Even with balanced distributions, I find the generic ver...

 
I mean really all you need is the header video
 
oh there's a video there?
it's probably blocked for me...

Q: Where do I find nameless items?

FoxMcCloudThe nameless items are the best in the game from what I can gather. I got a couple of nameless items, I think a pair of boots and a ring from a vendor. After doing some research I found a couple of threads of people talking about the nameless items in the extra last dungeon but nothing concrete a...

@Yuuki atheism can be a very strongly held belief, agnosticism would be the one that I wouldn't consider religious

Q: How do I reset the Survival Trial with the option to sweep them?

FoxMcCloudI've been able to Sweep the first couple of the Survival Trial levels, but it seems random. I don't remember if I was able to sweep them because I previously cleared all 12 levels before I reset or not. Is there some sort of trick to being able to sweep the Survival Trials?

 
Twitch won't load for me :(
 
4:36 PM
@Sterno rekt
 
Wow the level 30 of this event is way harder than the 40
Holy crap
 
grr my db copy keeps failing
 
(maybe because most conventional farming decks rely on "your monsters will never change battle position" and 30 has "all face up monsters change battle position at the end phase")
 
agh
I just got picked as staff to some server and that's apparently controversial
 
It's simple: Individuals who are ‘extremely careless’ w/ classified info should be denied further access to it. http://spkrryan.us/29Cz47v
 
4:47 PM
it's funny because POTUS is doing the thing but Paul Ryan manages to stand upright without a spine
He's truly a modern medical miracle
 
There should be a protest with signs that are just printed out tweets and quotes from Trump, Ryan, Flynn, etc.
Nothing else, no catchy chants, nothing but these signs.
 
@Yuuki They'd think it's a support rally
 
And also we should award gianforte a heavyweight championship belt
 
@Yuuki I wonder if trump ever deleted old tweets
 
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
No
 
5:12 PM
So we've seen a lot of world leaders neutralizing the Trumpshake, I want one to now pull the Trumpshake on Trump.
 
Incoming Trumpshake sir. Deploy counter-Trumpshake maneuvers! Full power!
 
@Wipqozn Play The Surge and tell me if I need it
 
5:33 PM
@Yuuki Just looked it up. Mods can unwiki

A: Is there a way to remove community wiki status?

Jeff AtwoodYes—community moderators, at their discretion, can now remove community wiki status from particular posts. Back when we had certain triggers to automatically convert certain posts into community wiki, this would also inoculate those specific posts from ever being auto-converted to community wiki...

 
Well, sounds like you should cc a mod then.
 
I raised a flag on it
 
 
6:12 PM
is Twitch down today?
I've been having a heck of a time doing anything with it
 
@HazyKingdom try Mixer
 
@fredley So I'm currently super happy. We're using Django for a bunch of new sites we're building. There's some talk of going back to Drupal 8 in the future, because of some company wide changes, but the whole dev team is like "why would we ever do that. Django is where it's at."
 
@BlueBarren Thanks for the tip!
 
@HazyKingdom well it was a slightly sarcastic tip
but technically a legit tip
well maybe not, it depends on what you wanted to do on Twitch
 
@BlueBarren Ha, i figured that was the case.
 
6:24 PM
@HazyKingdom if you just want to watch stuff Mixer should be fine
 
@BlueBarren Having trouble with just about everything accessing the site, logging in, streaming from OBS, the whole nine yards.
 
I would test it to confirm if it's you or everyone but I'm at work
so no Twitch here
 
Bummer.
I tried on a couple different machines on different networks which is why I thought something was up.
 
On a related note I actually like what MS is doing with Beam/Mixer
 
@Sterno I believe the answer is "no".
 
6:25 PM
@HazyKingdom could be a regional thing? I'm in Canada but I guess that's not relevant if I can't check.
 
@BlueBarren I agree, some of the stuff I was reading earlier today sounds pretty nifty. Hopefully it'll measure up.
Good guess, I'll have to give it a go some other time I guess.
 
@HazyKingdom the real hurdle they need to get over is how/if they pay their streamers
because you need them to either jump ship on Twitch or use both for it to be viable
 
I SLEPT ALL DAY
I'm so happy
 
@badp don't turn on the news
 
6:29 PM
@BlueBarren I can't see a great turnout if they don't monetize. Should be interesting to see where they go with it.
@badp Man ... I'm jelly. What's all day like 13 hours?
 
animal farm reminds me of turkey
 
2am to 10am then like 2pm to 8pm
 
Legendary sleep session.
 
I wish I was more into the streaming scene
 
@Wipqozn YOUR MOM HAS ONLY A HANDFUL OF BOSSES
Probably 1 or 0, like most people
 
6:32 PM
I would love to benefit from these innovations and other apps but I would rather play games than watch.
@HazyKingdom you know maybe if @Sterno switches to Mixer it will start beating Twitch
 
@BlueBarren I've been trying to get into streaming a bit, gotta say it's tricky.
@BlueBarren Well that's because @Sterno is a hipster, he's always in on the latest trends.
Is Poutine really that popular in Canada?
 
@Dragonrage Yeah, wtf. Who uses whole wheat in pizza dough?
 
@MBraedley same
 
6:51 PM
I've streamed a couple of times my results are as follows,
1. My connection wasn't the greatest so it wasn't the best looking stream
2. The trend is voice with a face cam is a thing that I assume is desired but I'm not sure how I feel about showing my face. I mean you can find me online and see me face right now if you want to but it's less of a direct association
3. Am I really interesting?
4. I'm bad at multiplayer games
5. I had issues with audio splitting/I take to people while I game and I can't really do that while streaming
@HazyKingdom yes and no. Personally I like it but barely have it. I also know people who don't like it at all. Really they're just a rich man's fries.
If you want to see some of my old streams just go look at my Twitch, it's probably BlueBarren
or TheBlueBarren
one of the two
 
@BlueBarren I was having some frame rate issues on my stream also until I went over to OBS. 2/3 have been serious deterrents for me getting any deeper than I am. I have no idea how I'd brand or market myself.
Not the worst quality I've ever seen out of a stream.
 
@HazyKingdom I think we all understand no one wants to watch a low quality stream so it's definitely the first "hurdle" to get over. Branding yourself is an interesting thing
The best idea I've had is similar to what deadmau5 did with his mask
I have this crappy "Hamster" mask I made in Grade 7 art but I think it's unique enough that I could use it
because it also go over the whole "face" issue I have
 
lmao no way, I was thinking of doing something with FaceRig in OBS.
Probably less resource intensive to take your mask route though.
Hamster Mask? That's a serious niche market that's totally untapped. I say go for it. :P
Another hurdle I have is what game do I stream? I love playing HotS but no one watches that shit. PU-Battlegrounds is alright to stream, but with the breaks in the gameplay, I'd have no idea how to entertain anyone during the lulls.
 
> A Chinese company is offering free training for US coal miners to become wind farmers.

@Yuuki The Chinese are stealing our honest workers with lies about global warming! Sad!
 
@Yuuki i read that as gold farmers
 
Streaming 720p reliably needs around 4mbps on your up pipe.
Your capture hardware matters too, if you're just piggybacking off your video card, or have a dedicated capture card.
Voice commentary is a huge factor, facecam is 100% critical. Being able to stay interesting and chatty is.
 
Your codec choice also matters. I can stream (and just record for that matter) using NVENC just fine, but H.264 will kill my frame rate.
 
In the little streaming I do, we setup our recording rig from the couch. Either me or my roommate plays, the other makes witty banter to keep the dialog going and entertain watchers.
 
@HazyKingdom I'm unfamiliar with FaceRig, I was also only thinking of masks because I happen to have one. I can say for sure this mask I have is uh unique... but it's completely inefficient. I should have a picture I can link when I get home
 
7:10 PM
Kinda like how Game Grumps did their videos around 4 years ago.
I found that streaming solo, I lack enough creativity to keep a monologue going.
I usually end up being critical of the game I'm playing.
Mostly because I'm bad at it.
As for streaming HotS, people DO watch that stuff, but mostly at the pro tier.
As for gathering a viewership, the only real way is to get started with nagging your friends to watch and... ugh... leveraging social media.
 
9t.
i hate twitter
 
@BlueBarren Facerig
 
My viewership is around ~12, and I'm fine with that.
 
I'm curious about this mask though lol I want to see it.
 
@9t. But how else would we communicate with the President?
 
9t.
7:15 PM
haha drumpf xD
 
I wouldn't want him following my stream.
He might be disruptive to the channel.
 
9t.
no but for real it took twitter about two years now to finally suspend a well-known paedophile and he still comes back anyways
 
@MadMAxJr Blah I hate using social media in general
 
@HazyKingdom hmm steam link...
 
9t.
he's gotten me suspended once for sending him death threats but then again i have no remorse for pedos
 
7:16 PM
Hey, I detest it myself. I don't really use it.
 
Facerig is a bit GPU intensive.
 
@HazyKingdom blocked
 
^ This. Which is why i haven't gone to OBS with it.
 
Also, I discovered Facerig doesn't handle people with glasses well at all.
 
7:17 PM
Damn man you have some rough policies.
Ah I never even thought of that.
 
@MadMAxJr well I'm outta the running
@HazyKingdom yes
and yet reddit isn't blocked...
 
9t.
i'd like to thank my mum
 
@HazyKingdom wow that's pricey
 
If you're looking at pro, it's pricey.
 
@BlueBarren You get reddit but not software ... the hell?
 
7:19 PM
There's a personal use version on steam I think? Not so expensive.
 
9t.
@MadMAxJr in what business would FaceRig be useful
 
@GodEmperorDune they have different versions. There's a 15 dollar version.
 
@HazyKingdom ah, the website was unclear
 
@9t. Convention coordinator
 
9t.
@HazyKingdom lmao nerds
 
7:20 PM
@GodEmperorDune I can't even think of a reason to use the premo version.
 
@9t. a business that wants a CGI mascot on the cheap?
 
Well if you're planning to do something for-profit that uses facerig, you have to have the license that allows for it.
 
9t.
@GodEmperorDune yeah fair point
 
Like if you were to post youtube videos that are monetized and you had facerig in the corner, you'd probably need the pro license.
 
that too
but i hope you're pro much if you're going to drop $300 on a CGI avatar for your streams
 
7:23 PM
Facerig was in a humble bundle a while ago, I'm pretty sure
 
Oh right. It can't handle glasses. It also can't handle beards. It has no idea where your chin is.
 
@GodEmperorDune @MadMAxJr Yeah, now that you mention it i really doubt they'd allow you to monetize of their 15 dollar product.
@Chippies lol for real? I probably have a version I can gift
 
@HazyKingdom Idk, it was some sort of streamer bundle
 
However, getting monetized or twitch partner status, is no small deal and you probably need to be pretty popular for that to happen.
 
ah nvm, thought you meant the monthly bundle.
 
7:24 PM
I think it was mainly software and maybe goat sim and other trendy twitch streamer games
 
9t.
@GodEmperorDune that ain't worth it surely
also @GodEmperorDune you remember me or nah
 
most of the software was on a subscription basis, so it wasn't worth to just get it "in case you'll ever use it"
 
I mean what's considered popular in the streaming scene? I see popular as thousands of users - AKA AmazHS or something
 
For general streaming, stick to the basics. Have a good solid upstream, and have a plan on how to entertain your audience.
 
@9t. formerly known as @texenox?
 
9t.
7:25 PM
@GodEmperorDune yuh
 
@HazyKingdom I think as long as you're charismatic and entertaining, any game will do
 
9t.
i like how you said it exactly as it was said on my tumblr bio
 
unless you're extremely skilled in a competitive game, most people watch streams for the entertainment value
 
i didn't look at your tumblr, it's a common way to describe it
 
@Chippies Fair enough, now that I think about it I typically skip over the streamers that are vanilla.
 
7:26 PM
@Chippies i think some games stream better than others
 
As a viewer
 
9t.
fair enough
 
@GodEmperorDune certainly so, especially because some games allow the streamer to be more entertaining
 
9t.
yeah i didn't even have "known as" in it iunno why i thoguht it was there
 
Stream interesting/unusual games, avoid chatter about sensitive/polarizing topics, keep a lively pace.
 
7:27 PM
just going off of RIP @twobugs, some of the more repetitive games are meh
 
but I'm sure most people would watch an entertaining person play a walking simulator rather than a boring person play, idk, Bioshock
 
9t.
RIP?
is he ok
 
though the twitch integration with that egyptian roguelike that @sterno was playing was amazing
 
I guess Bioshock, despite being a widely agreed upon good game, isn't a good example for a streaming game...
 
@9t. he's fine IRL, he just doesn't come to chat or SE much anymore
 
9t.
7:28 PM
ah right
 
I had shown Bioshock to one of my college art instructors. They kinda wanted to just look at the art deco installations.
They had some great commentary on it.
 
@MadMAxJr that would probably get some views on youtube
 
Then he hit a splicer with a wrench, "Excuse me, I'm admiring architecture here."
 
I could never get into Bioshock, got bored of it real fast :/
didn't help that I was hoarding bullets and refused to shoot unless I really really had to
and I had to and it hurt my hoarder soul
I think it was more of a problem with me hoarding ammo than with Bioshock itself
 
That's just a case example.
If you play something you can talk about at length, give a unique insight or opinion, people might like that.
 
7:31 PM
@MadMAxJr or in some cases, people will watch you talk about things not even related to the game you're playing
like that guy playing minecraft with his Farland series
hardly talks about minecraft at all (from what little I've seen), but the series have been going for years now
 
@matt___nelson They're good houses, Mort.
 
9t.
 
yes that is a US federal government account meming
 
9t.
LOL
oh ok so am i limited or locked i'on get it
 
Maybe you're limited because you've been locked.
Also, why not both?
 
7:37 PM
arg, inb4
 
9t.
nah only limited
yeah bro cos i'm worse over here even though all the death threats were directed to admitting pedos
 
Death threats are death threats.
 
9t.
bahahaha even my alt is locked for 15 minutes go away
@Yuuki yeah, to paedophiles
i have no remorse for them
 
If Twitter categorically locks people for death threats and you also saying that you tweeted death threats, I'm not sure what's the issue here.
 
9t.
yeah and they let genuine potential child molesters stay on there, that's a-OK apparently
 
7:41 PM
Instead of harassing people on twitter you should probably be reporting them instead.
It's like yelling at someone who just assaulted someone else instead of calling the cops
 
user15026
Pretty much.
 
Well, for one, how do you know someone is a genuine child molester?
 
9t.
@BlueBarren yeah i wanna do that but these people make me genuinely angry
 
@9t. Sounds like you shouldn't be on Twitter then
 
user15026
@Yuuki do they have a sticker like genuine Nintendo games got the quality seal?
 
9t.
7:42 PM
@DanmakuGrazer i'm good
 
@Ash well that's the point of the sex offender's registry, no?
 
@Ash That'd be really messed up if Nintendo also gave out those quality seals.
 
@9t. Clearly not lol
 
@BlueBarren You can get on the registry for being drunk and urinating in public.
 
sure it's not integrated with Twitter but people can still look at it I think
 
9t.
7:42 PM
@DanmakuGrazer nah bro it's chill
 
And also, you can get on the registry because someone else who has the same name as you committed a sex crime.
 
@Yuuki is there not a separate list for pedophiles and the like then?
 
@BlueBarren As far as I am aware, no.
 
I'm unfamiliar with this topic as it's never been an issue for me
 
damn @Yuuki is really inb4ing me right now
 
7:43 PM
@Yuuki .-.
 
user15026
@BlueBarren yes
 
yeah the registry is problematic
 
user15026
@Yuuki Yeah it's not a perfect system
 
user15026
It has good intentions but it has issues.
 
9t.
yeah i'm gonna report that guy honestly he makes me sick
he blocked me LMAO
 
7:45 PM
Probably still better than assuming and accusing someone of molesting a child, that can ruin someone's life.
If they're innocent
 
@9t. Gee, really?
You send death threats to someone and they block you?
How rude
 
9t.
@DanmakuGrazer yea

@Ash :D
 
Or how genre films evolve.

yeah i'm probably gonna head off soon anyways, gonna try unlocking my alt on twitter first and then i'm good to go
 
Maybe don't send more death threats if you get your account back?
 
9t.
honestly though i like twitter in itself since it's a decent platform for me to share shit i made like glitch art
 
@BlueBarren It is now. That is how that works, right?
 
@BlueBarren lmao my office allows dogs and one morning this basically happened to me.
my door was shut so I had no idea how the hell he got in there
