Rocket hair kinda actually makes some measure of sense since she's intended to be more robot.

Ben Brocka

Yeah but it looks dorky

These are all horrible

I like the way G has multiple arms, but that's all I like about it.

Ben Brocka

14:15

@GraceNote G doesn't have anything I'd call a hat

Grace Note

It does. Of note, the one with rocket hair as a whole has a bit of a dorky feel but in that sort of endearing dorky way.

Ben Brocka

E's single pigtail is awesome

Grace Note

@BenBrocka G isn't what I considered (though she does have a headdress, per typica)

5pike

Oh man - C will get a crapton of votes because of the unicorn.

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote I don't want her to look endearingly dorky though, that just means there's even more likelihood of her being Roll McUseless Character

Michael Dunfield

C is cool, but looks to much like the cliche playboy bunny character with the scissor thing on her head

@BenBrocka Which is why you didn't vote for it.

Sterno

@wipqozn I canceled my EO preorder because it wouldn't be here until Thursday. Now I need to drive somewhere instead and its all your fault.

@BenBrocka That's hair?

Grace Note

14:20

@MichaelDunfield If he doesn't pre-order he can get it earlier and start not-playing it much earlier than if he had to wait until Thursday.

@MichaelDunfield I assumed it was a traditional rabbit-type ribbon.

Michael Dunfield

How do you make a ribbon stay up like that?

OrigamiRobot

@GraceNote You should title the statement, "So I heard you like Fun"

Sterno

@MichaelDunfield Thursday is two days further away than Tuesday. This is simple math!

Grace Note

@MichaelDunfield I could give "logical" reasons pertaining to real ribbons but then I can just point out this is a robot so we don't have to listen to gravity properly to begin with.

Michael Dunfield

14:22

@GraceNote So it's a ribbon made out of metal?

Grace Note

Made out of xels!

Arperum

@GraceNote Robots still listen to gravity.

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote Though E and F seem to have real hair

Wipqozn

@GraceNote What's holding you back?

@Wipqozn That I already wrote the legend and so really it's just an excuse to be like the old grump who sees it in the newspaper and goes all "I was there, and it wa'n't like that! I even have a crown to prove it!"

@Arperum Properly, keyword being.

Arperum

@GraceNote That's more of a game thing than a robot thing though.

OrigamiRobot

@Arperum Only because we choose to.

@Arperum It's because of how these robots are made.

@BenBrocka hahahaha

Grace Note

For real ribbons, if you don't actually have some sort of stiffening piece inside the fabric (like those little things you probably all have in the collars of your collared shirts), then usually it's some fold magic that lets you have ribbons stand upright like that (though they're usually fatter than the one depicted in question).

Michael Dunfield

I don't get why they are letting the community pick the design anyway, isn't that pretty much always a Bad Idea?

Arperum

5pike

@fredley It works, so why bother with aesthetics?

Grace Note

@Arperum A burning button that is on fire seems entirely perfect.

Kevin van der Velden

@5pike because if we didn't bother with aesthetics we'd just have a button that makes it invisible, rather than causing a fire effect.

Arperum

@GraceNote In that case: the flag and star button aren't burned.

Q: Origin of the WASD key scheme

My gaming memories goes way back to the Atari 2600 with its single-button gamepad, and with computer gaming I started with the PC XT .

Arperum

@fredley Didn't look at the code, blind guesswork was involved.

That Brazilian Guy

14:36

@OrigamiRobot Isn't it about game mechanics? Not for a particular game, sure, but still it is about game mechanics. And game-specific hardware (gaming with keyboards)

OrigamiRobot

> Questions that ask which games or other products meet specific criteria are off topic. We primarily deal with questions about playing games, not about which games to play or historical trivia. We make an exception for identifying games based on an audiovisual artifact from the game in question.

Arperum

@fredley Do you mind being annoyed by brick breaker and undefined stuff? If you are: I'll shut up about it, otherwise I'll periodically poke you about it.

fredley

@Arperum It's not game-breaking, and it's annoying to debug, so it's low-prio

Arperum

@fredley It just makes the game easier, because you don't have to keep a certain part safe.

fredley

@Arperum Hmm

@Arperum Oh I think I know what causes it

Hum hum hum

Maybe I'll fix

Grace Note

Arperum

fredley

Busy today though

Grace Note

@ThatBrazilianGuy I'd put it in the same bucket as this one, knowing full well that saying this is really just grounds to get that closed.

Arperum

If it helps you in making certain of your bug: the ball disappears right before it hits the undefined paddle, then the undefined pops up and then the ball pops back into existence going back up as if there was a paddle.

OrigamiRobot

@GraceNote I assume it's because it's because it's the leftmost group with roughly the same shape as the arrow keys.

Sterno

14:42

I wonder if there's been any cases on Arqade of the "But this other one like it is open!" ever winning the argument, instead of getting the other one close votes too

Grace Note

@OrigamiRobot Here's the answer I started writing.

WASD established itself as a common control scheme for two particular kinds of gameplay choices.

1. In games that use both keyboard and mouse, if you use the mouse with your right hand, your left hand usually rests more comfortably on the left side of the keyboard than by the arrow keys.
2. In games which only use the keyboard, WASD allows one to perform directional input with the left hand instead of the right hand, which some may be more comfortable doing (especially those who are most familiar with console controllers and gamepads with left-hand directional pads). Settling for WASD is a…

Q: As Rome, can I prevent civil war?

@OrigamiRobot There are certainly differences, I don't deny that.

OrigamiRobot

@GraceNote I HAVE WORK TO DO

Martin Sojka

14:45

I actually prefer ESDF to WASD. Easier to find "blind", since the "F" has (usually) a physical "bump" to mark it, more space for special actions to the left of it, and the modifier keys are as easy to reach without taking your fingertips from E, S and F with my finger length.

Jason Berkan

@GraceNote I'm not going to name it (to avoid it getting more close votes), but the last one I remember resulted in a double closure and then the older question being reopened by a mod.

Grace Note

@JasonBerkan If you mean a recent Meta incident I'm also reopening the newer post too, once my copy gets approved.

@MartinSojka I'm not entirely sure why WASD picked up over ESDF since ESDF is more straight on your typical touch-typing position. I assume it's because it's even more leftmost than it.

Jason Berkan

@GraceNote No, not the fun stuff. They were questions on the main site.

Sterno

Wait, damnit, I said I'd go a week. It's only been 3 days.

fredley

@Sterno Lies

Grace Note

14:47

Personally I stick to WASD because I used WASD before I knew WASD was a thing (because of gamepad D-pad preference and playing a platformer), which in turn WASD led to me learning my own off-shoot of touch-typing.

Jason Berkan

From 1985, used A and D for turning. mobygames.com/images/shots/l/…

Grace Note

(Which I never realized was different until I was explaining touch typing to someone and realized that my hands rested on L-Shirt/A/W/D and J/I/L/; respectively instead of ASDF and JKL;)

Sterno

I remember playing FPS before using a mouse for them was cool. Control to shoot, baby!

OrigamiRobot

I realize now that I got caught up on the word "origin" as meaning "first game" and that doesn't have to be the case. I'm not taking back my close vote because I just don't like trivia questions, but I've stopped caring about the whole situation.

Sterno

It's got to be awkward always trying to keep your left hand on a size L shirt while typing.

Grace Note

It's all about relative movement and fluidity. The purpose of touch typing is to really heart into the keyboard. You move not in accordance to where you are from home, but where you are from where you are. Home is just where you start to hone your spatial relativity from.

@TimStone so, one hand typing, the other holding the bagel and alternating between taking a bite and giving a bite of bagel to the baby?

@OrigamiRobot I have tried this, it makes no difference for me. Its great fun to talk with someone and look at them while continuing to type at the same speed.

Not looking at the keyboard means I'm probably going to make a bit more errors but at the same time, I'll be looking at whereever I'm typing so I will catch those errors traditionally, mini-giant laundry aside.

@OrigamiRobot Funny, this is what led me to develop my touch typing style in the first place. I absolutely refused to do the exercises in schoole correctly.

Jason Berkan

If you are a touch typist, typing with your eyes closed or open should make little difference - other than immediately seeing your errors.

Michael Dunfield

@GraceNote I can't even read something and type that thing at the same time. I always do so poorly on those typing speed tests

Kevin van der Velden

15:15

@GraceNote I never finished the exercises, the floppy disk got "accidentally" degaussed

Grace Note

@JasonBerkan I do make errors when touch typing, touch typing just gives me more speed while maintaining high accuracy. Hence eyes closed would result in me not autocorrecting, or worse, attempting to autocorrect and messing that up.

Jason Berkan

Yeah, trying to correct errors with your eyes closed would be a recipe for disaster. Or hilarity.

OrigamiRobot

Not looking at the keyboard also gives me an overwhelming sense of "Oh god I hope I'm doing this right" which makes me be more diligent

@Fluttershy If you're asking about the WASD question, I'm pretty sure we can twist it (with relative ease, considering it's 95% already there) to not be about "the first game evar" and more just about how the control scheme came into being.

Sterno

Isn't that still historical trivia?

Not that I'm actually against historical trivia.

Grace Note

It's "historical trivia" in name that yes, it's a trivia question about history, but it's not what that rule was designed to target.

@GraceNote Will you be unlocking the pony question again too?

Q: So I heard you like Ponies

After the people over at Hasbro made a My Little Pony animated series, I thought it would be fun to pon-ify some of the people here. They were apparently very popular (mostly) and people were asking for more. So here are some of the ponies I made. If you want to make your own, just use Pony Crea...

@Sterno To be honest, who doesn't?

Gay marriage is wrong because magnets

Ah Hercules. I spent many an enjoyable Saturday with you and Xena.

Wipqozn

Opposites attract.

Sterno

Kevin Sorbo is Hercules.

Wipqozn

Yup, called it.

> A student in Nigeria is claiming he can prove gay marriage is wrong through science - and his scientific "breakthrough" is backed by his university.

Grace Note

@MichaelDunfield Is it bad that I'm more infuriated by the fact someone wrote "damming" in the article?

Wipqozn

At least now I know I don't need to take anything a Nigerian university says seriously.

Michael Dunfield

@GraceNote That annoyed me too.

Blem

@MichaelDunfield Without pressing the link i can determan that it must be correct, fucking magnets

Sterno

@GraceNote What a looser.

I wonder if I should delete @GnomeSlices card

Sterno

@MichaelDunfield I'd approve it.

Wipqozn

My favourite part about this is that it makes people who are against Gay Marriage look worse by association.

Tim Stone

@OrigamiRobot Who is @GnomeSlice?

Michael Dunfield

What is with all of these articles about terrible stupid things

OrigamiRobot

An absent hero.

It's sort of like how John McCain looked like a racist because of vocal group of people who support him since "I aint' electin no black"

Sterno

@MichaelDunfield The problem is that you're reading The Huffington Post. Stop it.

Wipqozn

except they use a different word for black, which I prefer to not use.

@Sterno Starred for truth.

Tim Stone

@OrigamiRobot Maybe our princess is in another castle.

Michael Dunfield

I mean seriously

@Sterno yeah you're right

Q: How do i alt-tab out of fullscreen Minecraft with the game still running (Mac)?

I regularly play Minecraft with a reference site, such as Minecraftwiki, open in a browser window. However, i've found no easy way to alt-tab between the game and a browser when the game is in full screen. The fastest way i found now is Pause --> Options --> Video Settings --> Fullscreen off bu...

Michael Dunfield

I bet they won't make their goal though

OrigamiRobot

I am more inclined to fix the wording on the top voted cards. It is horribly wrong

"You can't have any {R}" UGH

Sterno

Tomorrow I'm going to walk into Gamestop and ask them for the new EO game, which I did not pre-order. Anyone want to place bets on what they will say in response?

Michael Dunfield

@Sterno What's EO?

@Sterno "we're dumb"

@MichaelDunfield Etrian Odyssey

Michael Dunfield

Never heard of it

Sterno

@MichaelDunfield It's amazing.

OrigamiRobot

"{T}{R}:" UGH

Wipqozn

@MichaelDunfield Oh... I thought you were saying they'd ask what it was.

Michael Dunfield

15:58

@Sterno oooooooooooo

Wipqozn

I was going to commend you for being clever, but then you weren't.

Now I'm sad.

Tim Stone

@Wipqozn I faced the same dilemma.

Michael Dunfield

@Sterno I made a thing for you

@Sterno "That'll be MORE MONEY THAN YOUR WALLET HAS ROOM FOR!"

Sterno

I predict:
A) You're lucky. This here is our last copy. You should pre-order next time or you might not get it. By the way, XYZ is coming out and you can pre-order today...
B) There is no B.
