@badp Is the 'ow ow ow' supposed to extend throughout the day?

badp

@ArdaXi If you're looking at the .pptx it obviously helps if you have the font :)

Arda Xi

@badp I'm looking at the image actually

badp

Yes, the underlining has gone away in the revision going low now.

Arda > It extends into the risky part of the day.

badp

@ArdaXi Then yes, obviously. Mob burns under sunlight and make that "Ow." sound.

Arda Xi

Oh right, that's why I asked. I'm not too familiar with Minecraft.

Brant

Wow, Keynote really mangles that image

badp

Burning takes up valuable day time, hence my entire point.

Brant

Yay loot ood coal?

badp

Actually I'll change the entire thing to use Arial Narrow instead.

Brant

23:06

What's an ood?

badp

@Brant Wood when you try to make sure there's exactly one space between each word in a vertically rotated chunk of text and screw up.

Fixed.

Brant

I've noticed that any post that includes an image always gets upvotes

StrixVaria

@Brant Images = effort

Brant

I bet I could just start attaching an image of the text 'CLICK UPVOTE!' in some cheesy WordArt-inspired fashion to everything I do and I would start raking in the rep.

badp

Changed the image to use Arial Narrow instead.

Throw a bunch of eyeball-raping gifs in there too.

Q: Who's that Gnome named after?

So, in a bunch of different games by Valve, there's this Garden Gnome, and he's usually associated with an achievement, involving carrying him through an area. Over the course of my internet travels, I've picked up on the fact that his name is "Gnome Chompski". What is the ...

Case in point?

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice I just upvoted that when I saw the pic.

Brant

me too

I haven't even read it yet.

The question text could have just been "hamburger carrots and mash" repeatedly and it would still garner a bunch of quick upvotes for having an image there.

StrixVaria

my highest-rated answer is one that tzenes edited to add a picture to

badp

Yeah, in total I poured fourty minutes in getting that image down to something I could call myself satisfied with.

Although, the uneven spaces between the red, orange and green ticks kinda bother me.

The only way to get that precisely right is changing the numbers behind the scenes via VBA.

GnomeSlice

Hey, look at that, I earned the 'nice question' badge.

badp

23:12

Fuck that. (VBA, I mean.)

Brant

ok, there's at least one other programmer in here besides me who starred that

out yourself!

both of you!

GnomeSlice

I just liked the profanity...

Brant

Also a valid reason.

badp

@Brant just wait for tzenes to come back

StrixVaria

i think most of this community is programmers, just because those are the first people who found out about this

due to its link to stackoverflow

Q: Completing the final room of "Kumoon" ?

Ok, first, a bit about the game. Kumoon is a small 3D game where you control a chick through various rooms of stacked blocks. the goal is to knock all of the red blocks down by shooting them, or pushing them with other blocks. I wouldn't be surprised if nobody else here has played this little ...

from stackoverflow import gamers

GnomeSlice

I know very little of programming.. :(

badp

@GnomeSlice That's StackExchange 2.0 doing its magic :)

We need gamers, not programmers.

GnomeSlice

See, not all questions with images get rated highly.

Brant

tell your friends!
