The Bridge

Wipqozn

11:01 PM

@fbueckert Make me a sniper.

Is there a mod for it?

There must be a mod.

fbueckert

@Wipqozn I checked; nope.

Wipqozn

@fbueckert Lazy modders.

fbueckert

@Wipqozn The game's not that popular.

@Wipqozn You...had it right.

Wipqozn

Fuck

I thought it was, bu then I was like "nah, no, I'm crazy"

fbueckert

I think that's the first time you've corrected with a spelling mistake.

Wipqozn

11:02 PM

and now I need a flood sac.

YOU SAW NOTHING

fbueckert

@Wipqozn History! It's a thing!

Wipqozn

My main problem with afterlight are the graphics.

They just look silly.

fbueckert

@Wipqozn The game is a few years old at this point.

Wipqozn

@fbueckert It's not the quality, it's the style.

fbueckert

@Wipqozn Really? The style doesn't look bad to me.

Wipqozn

11:08 PM

@fbueckert Just different tastes.

fbueckert

@Wipqozn Fair enough.

You still wanna be a sniper?

Wipqozn

Yes.

snipers are rad.

fbueckert

Okie dokie. I will be tasking you with making choices for your character (and actually CHOOSING your character) from time to time.

Sterno

Did I miss drama again?

FEichinger

@Sterno Yep. It's over now. Sorry.

Yuki

11:12 PM

@fbueckert What's Afterlight?

fbueckert

@Sterno Still ongoing if you want to participate.

Ben Brocka

Do they make microUSB splitters that split the actual data, not just these "charger" splitters?

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot AND WHY DO YOU HAVE SO MANY LIFEHACKS?

fbueckert

UFO: Afterlight

UFO: Afterlight is a 2007 strategy computer game and the third in Altar's UFO series. Like its predecessors ' and ', it combines squad-level tactical combat with overlying strategic elements in a manner that's deliberately very much like the major 1994 classic '. Setting In Aftermath, the few human survivors of an alien attack were forced into a devil's deal to preserve their race and abandoned the Earth's surface to the invaders. In return, some of humanity was moved off-planet to orbital colonies and to a small Mars colony. Aftershock features the subsequent events on Earth a half-cent...

Yuki

Ooo~, so you're going to model some characters off of the Bridge or something?

fbueckert

11:14 PM

@Yuki Will try to.

Can't rename characters, but you can customize them to your specifications.

Sterno

Wow, too localized ("is the server up? How about now?") didn't even come up.

Yuki

Ah.

Sounds interesting.

fbueckert

And leave it to me to attempt to use them properly in combat.

Yuki

So... I'm guessing Technician is a support-type?

FEichinger

@Sterno It's not an option to begin with, so why argue about it?

fbueckert

11:16 PM

@SevenSidedDie You should have made this your own answer and not edited it, since it changes too much from the original answer. Or does this only apply to new people? — leetfan 4 mins ago

facepalm

@Yuki Character classes are pre-defined. Some are dual classed.

Only soldiers can participate in tactical combat, I believe.

Yuki

That's good. I'm a lover, not a fighter. But I'm a fighter too, so don't get any ideas.

fbueckert

@Yuki Well, once I finish the tutorial mission, you can choose who you want.

Sterno

@FEichinger irrelevant arguments are the best arguments.

fbueckert

There are even mobile robots, for those non-humans among us! cough@OrigamiRobotcough

Yuki

@fbueckert Let me know when that happens then. Sounds interesting.

fbueckert

11:20 PM

@Sterno There's even an old dude, if you want in!

Yuki

Really hope I don't get horribly eviscerated by a Chryssalid or analogous alien/monster.

Sterno

@Wipqozn I am interested to see how your well-reasoned and polite response gets twisted!

fbueckert

@Yuki I will do my best to ensure that doesn't happen.

Wipqozn

@Sterno Let us wait and see.

Sterno

Yes, sign me up for "old dude".

FEichinger

11:24 PM

So this statement is wrong? meta.gaming.stackexchange.com/a/7576/53721 The original answer was replaced completely, therefore, and by the rules laid out in the linked meta answer, the edit should not qualify and should be rejected. — leetfan 1 min ago

fbueckert

@FEichinger Well, if you look at from a "text changed" viewpoint, he has a point.

FAE

@axrwkr Thanks. :)

FEichinger

@fbueckert Which would be taking meta literally.

... Well, the first paragraph of a random meta answer, even.

Wipqozn

He's a new user, you can't expect him to understand all of our rules right way.

FEichinger

@Wipqozn You can, however, expect him to at least read the bolded part.

Which is the exact opposite of what he's rooting for right now.

Wipqozn

11:27 PM

The do's and dont's suggested edits are confusing, since there is a lot of room for subjectiveness.

Also we're really inconsistent.

Yuki

Honestly, the editor should have just removed improper capitalization and the emoticon.

FEichinger

@Yuki Honestly, it should've gone through the low quality queue and been deleted.

Yuki

If he wanted to add a link to a video for clarification, she should have added it as a comment.

@FEichinger That's also an appropriate response.

Sterno

I just noticed the spelling of "Pocrastinater" Scott and it killed a little piece of me having to type it out that way.

RedRiderX

Vintage 1950's Doo Wop cover of We Can't Stop (Miley Cyrus's new song)

FEichinger

11:29 PM

@Sterno @Pro<tab>

RedRiderX

Actually being able to hear the lyrics has caused me to realize that the lyrics are more of a train wreck then I had previously thought.

SaintWacko

@RedRiderX Did you expect anything less?

Yuki

@RedRiderX Reminds me of the time I found out that "Smoke on the Water" wasn't actually "Slow Uncle Walter".

Although, it was the reverse situation.

RedRiderX

@SaintWacko Not really, no.

Yuki

Song actually ended up making more sense.

RedRiderX

11:34 PM

> We run things, things don't run we.

facedesk

I actually had to double check that.

FEichinger

@RedRiderX Clearly, that's supposed to be "things don't run, wheeeee!"

3

RedRiderX

And yes, that's the actual line.

fbueckert

Ok, characters uploaded. Choose your character!

Note: First asked, first get.

FEichinger

@Feichinger Well, it does because nobody is rolling it back. Even though you guys agree with me that it changed too much of the original answer. But you just don't say that because it is someone with a lot of rep who did wrong. You guys are fast with pointing your fingers on new users, but you hesitate to point your fingers on high rep users that do whatever they please. — leetfan 51 secs ago

Yep, that's beyond repair.

Yuki

@fbueckert Tadeuzweursjfdsl- however the f--k you spell his name?

fbueckert

11:38 PM

Yoshimori?

Tadeusz Yoshimori.

Yuki

I'm stuck between looking for a Soldier/Scientist or Soldier/Technician.

fbueckert

If you're talking about spiky blond haired dude.

Yuki

@fbueckert Yeah, that.

Can you change nicknames?

fbueckert

I deliberately did not provide stats for non-soldiers, as they're stuck doing non-fighty things.

Yuki

Huh, I should probably spend more time looking at the stats than just the class combinations.

I take back my choice, gonna look over it a bit more.

Wipqozn

11:40 PM

FDUKGNSDFIASDJKASJE

fuckign bullfango fuck

it madme miss the fucking capture

RedRiderX

@fbueckert Ute Heinemann

fbueckert

@RedRiderX You want the old gnarled lady?

RedRiderX

@fbueckert Can she be a demo?

I haven't played the game.

fbueckert

@RedRiderX Demolitionist?

Yuki

@fbueckert Hikaru Yoshimori.

RedRiderX

11:42 PM

@fbueckert Yeah, or something along those lines.

Though it might be a poor fit.

fbueckert

@RedRiderX Actually, she's pretty bloody scary with explosives.

To...more or less everybody.

user20683

@RedRiderX That cover is shockingly good

Yuki

@RedRiderX Her stats seem somewhat ridiculous compared to everyone else.

RedRiderX

@fbueckert That's the image I had in my mind, yeah.

Wipqozn

Well, the desire sensor is in a nice mood.

Yuki

11:43 PM

I'm seeing Good everywhere.

Wipqozn

Since I raged hardcore about missing the capture, it just gave me 5 of the item i needed as aquest reward.

Yuki

@Wipqozn Nicely done. Although I feel I should inform you that this the Bridge, not the MH3U room.

Wipqozn

Now I need two drenched pleura and a Lagi Mantle.

fbueckert

@RedRiderX Last chance to choose somebody else! After that, you're the gnarled old lady!

Wipqozn

@Yuki I know, but I'm lazy.

Yuki

11:44 PM

If you knew this already, I apologize for assuming you didn't.

Wipqozn

@Yuki Apology not accepted. Pistols at dawn.

fbueckert

@Yuki General idea for your character?

Yuki

@fbueckert Medicmedicmedicmedicmedicmedic.

FEichinger

@leetfan Look, if you want to bring chat into it, come in here, and cut the passive aggressive crap.

RedRiderX

@fbueckert Cool with me, unless you have some bias against folks with... experience?

Wipqozn

11:44 PM

Oh okay, so it is okay when people with a lot of rep change answers but it is not okay when new users do helpful edits? Gotcha :). Thanks for your polite and helpful answer, it was a good insight into how rules work here. :) — leetfan 14 mins ago

Yuki

@Wipqozn Pistols? Can I bring my Heavy Bowgun?

Wipqozn

@Yuki Sure. By the time the thing unfolds I'll have shot you in the face.

I don't think he's in a listening mood right now.

Yuki

@Wipqozn Don't worry, I'll have Quick Sheathing and Divine Blessing.

Scootaloo

Anyone seen @GnomeSlice around?

fbueckert

@Yuki I believe Medic is scientific skills, and separate from combat skills.

Wipqozn

11:46 PM

@Scootaloo Not for an hour or so.

Scootaloo

"last message 2h ago"

Well I guess he hasn't been banned, which is good.

Yuki

@fbueckert Well, medic and/or scout, I guess.

Wipqozn

@Scootaloo Why would he be banned?

FEichinger

@Wipqozn Of course he isn't. He's raging because "dem ebil hirep userz!"

Scootaloo

@Wipqozn I'm looking at the pinned message with 5 stars, and was worried he got himself banned.

3 hours ago, by GnomeSlice

Well, The Bridge is dumb

fbueckert

11:47 PM

@Yuki The two...don't really mix very well. Can't heal if you're not near the squad. I won't argue if you want to go that route, though.

Wipqozn

@Scootaloo We don't ban people for saying the bridge is dumb, we star them. Silly goose.

FEichinger

There's a very simple way to talk this through. Accusing people of "doing as they please" and the rest of us of "doing nothing about it" is not the way.

Wipqozn

@FEichinger I..what?

Scootaloo

@FEichinger I'm confused. Context?

Wipqozn

I have no idea what th-e oh, hire rep users. Gotcha.

fbueckert

11:48 PM

Anybody else want to choose some characters?

FEichinger

@Wipqozn leetfan. Since he's obviously reading chat, I'm not gonna bother using comments anymore.

Scootaloo

@fbueckert What game are you talking about?

fbueckert

So far I've got the explosives "expert" who's a danger to the squad, and the medic who's not anywhere near the team he's supposed to heal.

Wipqozn

@FEichinger I didn't understand what your quoted part meant.

fbueckert

This is going to be awesome.

Scootaloo

11:49 PM

What the hell is @fbueckert talking about? it sounds like he's talking about TF2.

FEichinger

@Feichinger Well, it does because nobody is rolling it back. Even though you guys agree with me that it changed too much of the original answer. But you just don't say that because it is someone with a lot of rep who did wrong. You guys are fast with pointing your fingers on new users, but you hesitate to point your fingers on high rep users that do whatever they please. — leetfan 12 mins ago

fbueckert

I will go do dishes. You may choose characters as you see fit.

FEichinger

@leetfan No. We don't agree. Sterno literally said that that is not what happened here. It's not related to rep, it's related to the bolded part of the meta answer you linked to: "respect the original author" - The intention of the post is the same, it is just now in line with our content standards. — FEichinger 9 mins ago

@Feichinger you also might want to explain what exactly is beyond repair and why you are making fun of people while we are having a discussion about fundamental rules and how they are abused by high rep users. You don't seem to take my point seriously. It is a fundamental problem this site has. Rules seem to exist only for low rep users and everyone else has a free ticket to world domination. Also, fbueckert said that I do have a point and wipqozn said that edit rules are indeed inconsistent. So before you attack me as a new user, you might wanna clear those rules up asap. — leetfan 5 mins ago

For completeness' sake.

@fbueckert That's amazing.

Wipqozn

11:50 PM

@FEichinger Like I said, he's not in a listening mood. There's no point engaging the guy in the comments, you're just going to clog them up. If he wants to actually talk in chat instead of lurking it might go better, but that's no point in clogging up comments.

Scootaloo

@Wipqozn Not to sound like too much of an ass, but I'm glad it's not me at the center of the drama.

Wipqozn

@Scootaloo I don't think I'd call this drama.

FEichinger

@Wipqozn Which is why I've said this:

@leetfan Look, if you want to bring chat into it, come in here, and cut the passive aggressive crap.

RedRiderX

@fbueckert Uuh I wish so much you could change the names.

Though I would just change it to Ute "The Red" Heinemann.

Wipqozn

And I also wouldn't say that makes you an ass.

user20683

11:51 PM

@Scootaloo I'm glad it's not you starting drama.

user20683

makes my life as a mod easier, so well done! Here's a cookie.

fbueckert

15 mins ago, by fbueckert

Ok, characters uploaded. Choose your character!

RedRiderX

Or Ute Heinemann the Red.

GnomeSlice

@Scootaloo What's up?

Fluttershy

@fbueckert Gene Lawrence for me!

fbueckert

11:52 PM

@RedRiderX Sadly, I can't figure out how to change the name OR the nickname.

Which is crazy, but, hey, them's the breaks.

@Fluttershy And general idea for character?

Wipqozn

@fbueckert Whoever would make a good sniper.

Scootaloo

@Gnome I missed seeing you around, and asked where you were.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert Oh, you're doing this again?

Wipqozn

I don't care if they're male or female.

fbueckert

@Wipqozn Nope. Must choose.

GnomeSlice

11:53 PM

@fbueckert I want Samantha Svensson

Fluttershy

@fbueckert Sniper!

Oh. Crap. That's what @Wipqozn wants...

Wipqozn

@fbueckert Samantha Svensson

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn ಠ_ಠ

FEichinger

@Wipqozn Now, now. That's deliberate.

Fluttershy

@Wipqozn Gnome already called that, yo.

GnomeSlice

11:54 PM

I hate you.

FAE

@fbueckert I was going to pass on that this time because I was in the last round.

Fluttershy

Stop taking advantage of @fbueckert being unable to see it.

Wipqozn

@FEichinger :1No, it wasn;t.

GnomeSlice

Samantha Svensson is my crack sniper in my game.

Wipqozn

I wanted the best sniper, and that's what I wanted.

FEichinger

11:54 PM

@Wipqozn Sure was.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn Fine

Wipqozn

also, @fbueckert can't even see what @GnomeSlice is saying. Why would he put him in the game?

GnomeSlice

I want Harald.

Scootaloo

Apparently TF2 got new 3D avatars on the HUD.

GnomeSlice

Although I killed him right away because his daughter shows up if he dies and she's really cute.

FEichinger

11:55 PM

@Wipqozn You could still at least relay Gnome's choice to @fbueckert and let him decide, before calling the same, eh?

Wipqozn

@FEichinger ECMaspDFOJKF

You're sreally pissing me off

GnomeSlice

Can anybody else not connect to steam?

Scootaloo

It's a neat touch, but I have no idea why they added it out of the blue. Usually I only see TF2 updated whenever there is a major problem or something like that.

Wipqozn

maybe I';m just grump

but for fuck sakes I didn't steal gnoems idea

GnomeSlice

@Scootaloo Oh, well I'm here. I was in and out all day.

@Wipqozn for fuck shake

Wipqozn

11:56 PM

@GnomeSlice sakes, not shake. This isn't shake and bake.

YOU'RE NOT A CHICKEN GNOME

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn Actually it's "for fuck's sake".
