@kalina =[
@Sterno You should see a doctor.
@fredley fucking flash based 404, get out of the industry you work in you heathen
@OrigamiRobot I married a doctor!
@kalina Blame Russia
@Sterno That's pretty rad.
17:00
@Sterno Well done you
I wish I could find a nice handsome Doctor to settle down with.
@Sterno this sounds like some kinky real world roleplaying
have you ever used the line "Doctor, I feel erect?"
I upvoted a comment. I then un-upvoted it and can't re-upvote it. I have no problem with this, but my question is: Is this fairly new functionality?
@Sterno Yes.
17:02
@Sterno no
@Krazer What is the _____ part?
and un-upvoting it gives you a warning saying you won't be able to reupvote it
@Sterno
I hate you both. But @kalina slightly more. And I blame @Wipqozn for that.
@Sterno It was implemented within the past couple months.
17:02
@kalina Right. Again, not complaining about it. Just never seen it before.
@Sterno it's been there pretty much the entire time I have been on the site, feel free to classify that as you want
I still hate you both.
@Wipqozn citation needed
I might be thining of removing a close vote.
that's a pretty new feature
17:03
I shall retract my hate from whoever is technically correct.
I am technically correct
I was born technically correct
I'm too lazy to see if I'm correct though
I don't need to cite anything, the onus is on you to do the citing
411
Q: Should I be able to cancel my up-vote on a comment?

fretjeLike mentioned on uservoice: For something that can be done so easily by accident, there should be the ability to undo mistakes. I know that I have clicked several times on a comment up-vote without actually wanting to. I would suggest being able to cancel the up-vote (maybe only for a...

damn, he went and cited it
2009!
WINNER
17:04
@kalina Did you even look at the answer?
It's 2012.
2012!
Winner!
still technically correct does a little dance
2
No, 2012 is new, because @Sterno is old and one year is nothing compare to his whole life.
1987!
Winner!
17:05
When did @kalina join the site?
2 mins ago, by kalina
@Sterno it's been there pretty much the entire time I have been on the site, feel free to classify that as you want
@Sterno May 2012
@Sterno 70-or-so days ago
what @Unionhawk said
I'm going to have to award this one to @kalina.
I hadn't even thought of it from that perspective
17:05
Sorry @Wipqozn, you get both my blame and my hate now.
Ah, well, I probably deserved it.
Oh, I need to add my contract work there
Sterno has 3 almost completely serious stars in the list, what is wrong?

Q: Is Dragon Quest IX a good gateway to the franchise?

tbesedaI've never played a DQ game, but the reviews and talk are enticing me to try Dragon Quest IX. Should I start with an earlier iteration, or can I start with the new DS title? *please add a dragon-quest tag

Old terrible question dredged up

Q: Guide for improving aim at First Person Shooters in consoles

kurastI have played Half Life and Counter Strike since 2001 and many others since, so I have some years of experience in playing fps games in computers, with mouse and keyboard. While I am not very good, I manage to almost always be in top 5 players on my team. However, when I play on the PS3, FPS ga...

@GnomeSlice you have CSS under the same languages section as English
Please communicate to me in CSS only from now on
17:08
Lol
Yeah I should change that
CSS(Native)
-.-
@kalina Pterodactyls are serious business.
has anyone in here played and enjoyed DQ IX?
@Unionhawk what the fuck
rollback
I tend to be get at least moderate enjoyment out of JRPGs, but that one just sucked, I though.
17:09
@kalina MONSTER
flags stomach for bacon
@Unionhawk stupidity is unacceptable
just like your face
and @OrigamiRobot's gaming habits
or lack of
I play games every day
@kalina Well, yes, but the answer itself is stupid.
17:11
proof or it didn't happen
This is driving me nuts
@Unionhawk then deletion is the correct method to deal with it, not further stupidity
I have no idea what I'm doing
17:11
@GnomeSlice you're trying to get employed
@kalina correct horse battery staple
@kalina Thank you for your constructive input.
:P
@GnomeSlice well at least I helped once today
Crud, I just remembered I need to stop at my credit union. Apparently I forgot what my (unique) online banking password was.
It wasn't correcthorsebatterystaple
17:12
did you have spaces in it?
@Wipqozn Technically.
@kalina Yeah, I know. That doesn't make you any less of a fun-ruiner though. :P
the only kind of fun that is allowed around here is when I am busy enjoying myself
by myself
alone
Well, no, I had a mnemonic for remembering what it was... but I forgot which letters I'd swapped for numbers and special characters.
I just go with random strings of random characters randomly
thus, I use "password" for everything.
17:14
The problem is, when I use random characters I memorize them... and then tend to use those same ones everywhere instead of unique ones for each site.
and thus I have 9 unique passwords
the less frequently used ones do get reset a lot though
and I don't remember my internet banking password anymore because they bought out an application for android that I use instead
@kalina FINE
@GnomeSlice ooo
Game is the shit
Probably have to start my save over though
Might not bother
17:21
Please tell me he fixed the languages section T_T
@OrigamiRobot I'm just going to make it English
erm
people
please read this:

A: Do crew bonuses stack?

Little Mac Moatecrew bonuses do not stack - at all. In the instance two or more of your crew members have an ability that provides a crew bonus, these do not stack. However, there are a few caveats if you're building up a crew that is going to run heists together constantly, you'll want to avoid doubling up on a...

also read my answer directly above it
and tell me that you think somebody has just copied and pasted huge chunks of my answer
@kalina Yes.
Yes it does.
mind=blown
Spambot?
17:27
@GnomeSlice Doubt it, it's too well-formatted for that. It's not a straight copy, but it's mostly copied.
doesn't look like a bot
it has other content and has previously whined about downvotes
And by "not a straight copy", I mean there are like, 2 words different
Possible explanation: He googled for info, found your answer, didn't even notice it was from Arqade, and the copied some of it.
@Unionhawk There are no different words.
@Sterno some? :P
17:29
Possible Explanation #2: Someone else copied your answer onto a forum somewhere, he copied it from there and pasted it here, without ever noticing yours
Possible Explanation #3: tard
It's basically my answer without all of the formatted sections
word for word
@Sterno I'm inclined to go with this one.
@kalina Not true. It's missing more than just the formatting!
@Sterno no, it's EXCLUDED the formatted sections
everything else is there 100%, word for word, in the original order
@kalina DAMN IT, YOU'RE TECHNICALLY CORRECT TWICE TODAY
17:30
I KNOW RIGHT
I... don't even
I'M SCARED
I'm scared and confused. I have no choice but to upvote his answer and downvote yours now.
I'm not surprised by blatant plagiarism anymore, I fully expect the user to deny that he copied it from Kalina's answer
@Sterno Too late, it's gone
17:31
@Sterno feel free to upvote mine though
I have, in my hands, the biggest bag of sour skittles I've ever seen
I can't do this
so you keep saying
you won't be able to with that attitude
Wow. I just realized that Gnomeslice was probably like 11 or something when that episode of Lost aired.
I feel old. :(
If someone could review my tag edit, that would be great
Took some bits from the EU3 tag as well.
@Wipqozn Didn't read, rejected.
17:36
@Wipqozn rejects out of hand
Aww. @Sterno made the same joke as I did.
@fbueckert You're slower than a guys whose nick name is @Sternold.
@Wipqozn And you're slower than me; what does that say about you? :P
@fbueckert I'm a Turtle.
@Wipqozn A really slow turtle, no less.
My daughter likes the song "Fast and Slow (The Rabbit and the Turtle)" and it always makes me think of @Wipqozn

Q: How do I become stylish?

RetrosaurIt seems that when I try to enter the clothing shop in the lowerhalf of Lumiose City, it seems I get rebuffed by a rude clerk who insists that I "come back when I become more Stylish". Does this mean I can't visit until I do something for certain? I don't know what exactly she means by "becoming...

@Sterno I'm glad to know I'm in your thoughts even when we're not together.
@Wipqozn It's creepier for me than it is for you.
Putting boobs in my cover letter as an interest would be bad, right?
> I like to think...
Now I can prank call @GnomeSlice
17:39
no, you mean to say I am
not I like to think
Be confident iny our cover letter.
@Wipqozn Agreed
'I am' just sounds pretentious
@GnomeSlice Nope. Just confident.
Then say I'm
Without actually seeing your resume, I can say that you probably don't want to say "the formatting might look a little strange"
17:40
Tetrobot and Co. (Blocks that Matter sequel) is now available on Steam.
Either it does or doesn't. Let them decide. Don't apologize in advance for it.
2
@Sterno they specifically said that the formatting might mess up a little when you paste it, and that it's being judged on content
Ah, okay.
@Sterno Fixing the formatting would be the superior solution in any case
@Sterno I agree.
17:41
> Pasting information in other formats (.doc or .rtf) may result in a less readable file. Please note that your resume is being evaluated primarily on CONTENT.
If they know the formatting might mess up then you don't need to apologize.
also, you'r elist of "things I like"
> My resume is entered below, for your consideration.
@MadScientist I was about to suggest that too. Sounds like maybe it's not possible to fix, but if it is, definitely do it.
Is that better?
"a good book" is singular, whereas the other things listed were plural.
17:42
There's one other sentence where I like the content but think the wording could use a tweak. One sec
I'd just say "and reading."
@Wipqozn what about 'boobs'. That's plural
> Predictably, I have a strong interest in techology and gadgetry, so I feel like FutureShop is a great opportunity for me to work somewhere I can deal with things I'm interested in.
@GnomeSlice Unless you're aplpying to work at Victoria's Secret I don't think that would be a good idea.
@Wipqozn Whoa, I wonder if we have one of those near here
17:43
@Wipqozn I don't think it'd be a good idea there either.
That would be a sick place to work
I like what you're saying in it but the "somewhere I can deal with things I'm interested in" bit at the ends sounds redundant
I would literally get paid to look at boobs all day
I am probably being anal.
2
headdesk
17:44
> FutureShop is a great opportunity to apply my expertise.
also, I dislike your "!" in your closing paragraph. I'd personally take it out, since it just makes it sound less professional, but that's just me.
That probably sounds better.
whoa they opened one in ottawa like a week ago
Dude, they're probably hiring
@Wipqozn It sounds excited
@GnomeSlice I could take it or leave it, honestly. I don't think it'll hurt in this case.
@Sterno don't use the word "work"
17:46
@GnomeSlice Also, please take our nitpicks as constructive criticism. I think even as it is your cover letter is pretty good.
Okay, I'm good with it like this
@Sterno I do, I do.
HI PEEPS
@spugsley HELLO
Nitpicks are best picks.
@GnomeSlice expect lots of marketing calls soon!
17:48
And I agree, the cover letter is solid, just has a couple things which could be change to make it better.
@GnomeSlice it doesn't work like this
DOOOONE
@spugsley \o/

Q: How long is a Pokemon X Y day?

RetrosaurFor example, after defeating the Elite Four, you get the chance to find Mega Evolution stones for old Pokemon in places all around the main areas. The only thing is, you can find them only between 8pm - 9pm. How long is a Pokemon day then? Is it based on the 3DS/2DS clock, or is it based on some...

17:50
(bonus points if you get the reference)
@Powerlord Honor Harrington, obviously.
@fbueckert \o/
I'm still behind, I'm only on book 10.
@Powerlord I just re-ran through the whole main series.
Why does Retrosaur keep getting downvoted on his pokemon questions?
@OrigamiRobot Can you get me a Skrelp?
17:52
> You have fully used your vote allowance for today
D:
Whoops, wrong chat.
@GnomeSlice I dunno. Maybe people are reacting to him posting a gajillion of them? I personally don't care.
Gotta fetch them all, Stickemon!
Also, some of the things he's asking about have been regular Pokemon fixations for awhile. Like Pokemon time being matched to real-time.
Since Gen II, at least.
@GnomeSlice This seems like something rather simple to test. Pretty sure it's based on the 3DS clock. – fbueckert 4 mins ago
For his latest question.
@Wipqozn Seems?
Pretty sure?
17:55
@Yuki I downvoted because there's zero effort made to figure it out beforehand.
Maybe he doesn't have time to play it all day and find out?
He deleted it.
And now it's a moot point, because he deleted it.
All is right with the world again.

So, I heard a rumor that if the U.S. federal government doesn't get off its ass and pass a budget soon, my state will start laying off some of its employees. Did I mention I work for said state?
Job hunting is awesome
17:57
@Powerlord Isn't the latest shutdown the work of one guy?
(cc @LessPop_MoreFizz, since I assume you know)
Canada?
If all goes well, maybe people will start to hate the idea of political parties.
@GnomeSlice He wouldn't have to.
17:58
@OrigamiRobot Unfortunately, people like grouping together. It lets them do stupid things without having to take all the blame.
He could just move the 3DS clock ahead by an hour to see if the games time changes too.
@Wipqozn I wouldn't have assumed it was linked to the 3DS clock, if I were asking
So how would I have known to do that?
@GnomeSlice Is Alaska not an option?
@Yuki Just those three.
Also, Alaska is not part of Canada.
@GnomeSlice Did you even read the question?
> Is it based on the 3DS/2DS clock, or is it based on some internal game timer?
17:59
@GnomeSlice His point was that everything else listed there is part of the United States.
@GnomeSlice Honestly, the only 3DS games that I've run into that doesn't use the 3DS clock are the Harvest Moon series and spin-offs (like Rune Factory).
@Wipqozn I did, but I missed that part
my bad
@Powerlord That was my point
(and yes, Puerto Rico is part of the US, just not a state)
@Wipqozn He never reads question bodies. He only reads the title and argues like he knows.
wtf victoriassecret.ca redirects to lasenza
18:00
@GnomeSlice I don't see how "Alaska is not part of Canada" demonstrates that point.
Because, you know, we like the whole taxation without representation thing... it's not like we went to war with England over it in the 1700s or anything.
@Yuki That's what the image was for

@Wipqozn Close. Most political vitriol I've heard points to Ted Cruz and one other guy.
Which makes me hate my state even more since Cruz is one of my Senators.
The one thing I hate about Texas is that you generally have two choices when voting for representatives: Conservative Republican or really, really Conservative Republican.
@Yuki Ew
18:04
@Powerlord There's a lot of stuff that is bound to happen if they don't get their act together fast, and none of it good. From what I heard the whole thing is probably fucking up the whole NIH grant process which means that lots of scientists will run out of money and their grants won't be processed in time. The whole idiocy is causing damage that will only be visible later
It's like choosing between hitler or stalin. Both are terrilble.
@Powerlord Yeah. Hopefully, the rapidly growing Hispanic population will cause them to get more moderate or even crossing fingers get a Democrat into office. Not so much because I'm a Democrat but just for the contrasting views.
Greeeed Corp!
stars pls
@GnomeSlice You know that never works. And, at worse, will get you flagged for inane reasons.
18:08
I always love political discussion on Arqade.
@Sterno The only worse thing is gaming discussion on Arqade.
At least we know something about gaming.
@Sterno That's what makes it worse.
@Sterno Better than political discussions when either or both parties aren't eligible to vote.
I know everything I need to know about politics. They're awful.
18:12
@Unionhawk I blame @Wipqozn
Ugh, legislative districting is so stupid. I'm looking at the map of legislative districts in my county... only to see that our state's capitol city has a district line running right through it.
@Powerlord Go Go Gadget Gerrymandering!
Strange. Is there nothing below the 'beat the average' line in this humble?
ronnie for President in 2016
4
and it gets even worse if I throw the state house and state senate district lines on
18:13
@Sterno He'd be pro much
@fbueckert So pro much.
And be the fastest impeached politician in history.
don't be hatin' on ronnie, guys
(also, this map had better be correct considering my office is the one that produced it)
he's pro much
@GnomeSlice Ticket to Ride, Greed Corp, Incredipede, and Anodyne
such pro
2
@Ullallulloo Oh, derp
all the pro
@Unionhawk Technically every non-US Citizen in this room isn't eligible to vote as far as the lock discussion is concerned.
18:15
@Wipqozn Fine, rephrased: where one or both parties are ineligible to vote due to age.
@GnomeSlice Hmm, I don't know if it's worth ~$6.50 right now...
I'll see if the average comes down.
coincidentally, @Wipqozn is the opposite of pro much
@GnomeSlice oooh, that looks kinda neat
@spugsley That's sweet of you to say.
@spugsley He's not Hootie enough.
18:18
@OrigamiRobot no. Definitely not Hootie enough
congress: The opposite of progress. Politics is derived from the parts "poly" meaning many and "tics" meaning bloodsucking creatures.
regurgitate old jokes day!
@GnomeSlice I've come to realize that I've got a thing for pig tails. They're just so adorable.
5
@Wipqozn shifty eyes takes down her pig tail
I wish @OrigamiRobot had pigtails.
18:27
Oh, you meant like the hairstyle.
Y...yes
I was very disturbed and confused.
I don't have nearly enough hair for a pigtail.
I can see how that would would be confusing, especially since @spugsley made a comment about having a pig tail.
Anthurium (; Schott, 1829), is a genus of about 1000 species of flowering plants, the largest genus of the arum family, Araceae. and laceleaf. The genus is native to the Americas, where it is distributed from northern Mexico to northern Argentina and parts of the Caribbean. Description and biology Anthurium is a genus of herbs often growing as epiphytes on other plants. Some are terrestrial. The leaves are often clustered and are variable in shape. The inflorescence bears small flowers which are perfect, containing male and female structures. The flowers are contained in dense spiral...
@Wipqozn my hair used to be really short and now it's finally long enough for a pig tail (or pony tail which is a better term imo)
18:29
I think pigtails are usually used to refer to having two of them, and pony tail when you only have one.
@Ullallulloo That's quite the anthur you got there.
@Wipqozn Yes
@RedRiderX Those plants are also called pig tails.
@Wipqozn I thought she was talking about her costume
@Ullallulloo Oh, is it?
Well then.
18:32
I know this from Dwarf Fortress.
Protip: Don't Google Image search "pigtails" from work
@Sterno Yeah, I discovered the same thing.
Mind you I'm not at work, but my point stands.
@Sterno Protip: Don't Google Image search "protip" from work.
@RedRiderX Seems safe.
@Sterno I guess as long as you don't read too much of it.
18:34
Protip: Don't search on Amazon for "Fun Factory"
Heh
Protip: Don't Google image search for "big tits" while at work.
@Sterno Is NSFW judged by how safe it is for a boss to walk by?
WalMart called me
@GnomeSlice that was fast.
18:39
@Krazer It was like a screening phone interview, but yeah
Watch Dogs got delayed.
@Powerlord why not?
@Blem I thought it would be self explanatory
@RedRiderX Assuming it's for an average boss, yes
I mean, theoretically since you're supposed to be working, most google image searches are NSFW
@Powerlord You have to remember I don't live in one of those uptide countries where it is a problem
First day of work we where told if we ever worked on a clients computer we should not download porn on them, then we should rather use the company issued laptop.
Entirely aside from "uptightness", I would think your employer wouldn't want you watching porn at work because it means you're not working.
18:45
@GnomeSlice D:
@Fluttershy Eh, it will get here eventually.
@Sterno that image is relevant for everything isn't it?
Did I ruin pigtails for you?
@KevinvanderVelden More than it should be!
@Fluttershy ~20 hours left for The Long Dark if you still want in
18:46
That dude looks manlier dressed like Little Red Riding Hood than I do dressed normally.
oh ffs
OK... when did Firebug's JavaScript debugger break?
for as much as I thought Remember Me was good for the first half
Since I've started it up today it's done nothing but seriously infuriate me
@GnomeSlice If they already called you that must mean they really need people but aren't getting many applications. That's good.
@kalina not attributable to the accidental spoilerage?
18:47
no no
my grasp of the mechanics in the first half of the game was much smoother than now, when they're piling on more and more enemies
it feels like the game is taunting me to nuke paris just to end the existence of the developer in question

Q: level up borderlands

GinjaNinjaI'm finished with the game in normal mode and want to level up quickly.. The enimies in creepy caverns are too weak for me they are all 31 or less.. I'm level 39 and my sub mission is all done except the mission you will die.. And can't level up in true vault hunter mode because the missions must...

@kalina make it a small nuke please, I'm all in favor of nuking the french, but we're pretty close to it and the fallout will get messy
I'm not in favour of nuking the French
@Sterno Same :(
I like the French
with the exception of Parisians
18:50
@Blem Oh god, I'd shoot her right then and there.
@Yuki Wouldn't even bother. Just, "Not anymore, you're not!"
