@Sterno You could probably make a script that'll edit all your message with @OrigamiRobot in them to @butterscotch.

Sterno

@3ventic then it would not be a true simulation of euro trucks

@Wipqozn too lazy

Fluttershy

Butts. I missed a Dark Souls discussion? :(

3ventic

@Sterno you could also say driving a bus isn't a true simulation of euro trucks, but it happens

OrigamiRobot

THE BEST SOLUTION WOULD BE FOR ME TO CHANGE MY NAME TO BUTTERSCOTCH FOR A YEAR

Sterno

And why would I want to play Euro Truck Simulator if not for the ultra-realistic simulation of Euro Trucks?

Wipqozn

3:01 PM

@Fluttershy Yes. We saw you coming so quickly changed topics.

@Sterno You could become apro expert at parking, like @badp did.

Fluttershy

@Wipqozn :( So meab

Well... I beat Artorias and Kalameet. Next up is Manus, and that'll wrap up the DLC for me. Then it's on to Seath!

5pike

@Fluttershy I remember that Manus had quite some nasty/cheap moves.

kalina

HELLOIAMHERE

Sterno

@kalina Worse than @Butterscotch.

@Fluttershy Seath is a wimpy little girl dragon

Yuki

@Sterno I thought Priscilla was the girl dragon.

Sterno

3:13 PM

I can't figure out why this has two votes as a dupe of this

I haven't played the game, but those seem completely different.

5pike

@Yuki A cross-breed. Seth is supposedly the father.

Wipqozn

@Sterno I can think of two things. The first is someone misreading the question. The second is that the answer has something to do with having not unlocked them yet, and the voter knows this but doesn't understand how we dupe vote.

the third option is we're missing something.

Oh, the person who commented just flaggedit.

Maybe they derped or something, and people in the review queue just aren't bothering to actually check the original question.

that does happen. people cast a dup vote on something without bothering to actually check just because someone says it's a dup.

Ullallulloo

@Wipqozn @galacticninja & @kalina are the review voters. Ask them, I guess.

Sterno

@Wipqozn That is my suspicion as well. And I only linked it to passive-aggressively bitch about it. YARRR

Wipqozn

@Ullallulloo I'm not sure why you are pinging them.

Sterno

3:18 PM

Maybe my New Year's Resolution should be to never be aggressive, and only be passive-aggressive. Because that's less bad, right?

Wipqozn

I don't actually look at the review queue, so maybe it has some info there.

Ullallulloo

@Wipqozn They're the two reviewers who voted to close.

gaming.stackexchange.com/review/close/history

Wipqozn

I didn't know that existed.

Sterno

Me either.

Wipqozn

one of the votes got reversed.

I bet that'swhat happened.

Being too hasty on the close vote.

Mana

3:19 PM

no

Wipqozn

@Mana yes

Mana

oh

okay

Sterno

The review queue could do a better job presenting information for dupe votes

Wipqozn

@Sterno It's not the fault of the review queue if users aren't looking at the orignial questions.

kalina

@kalina is not currently present enough to deal with your criticism, please take your criticism and set fire to it in her absence.

Wipqozn

3:21 PM

I've never bothered with the review queues since I prefer just looking at the full questions and answrs. I like having the full context of everything.

@kalina So in other words you were too hasty. Got it. You lose.

Score one for the tortoise and the old guy.

Sterno

Actually, until just now I didn't notice there was a "duplicate" tab. I thought you had to go click on the dupe manually and read it through the main site

kalina

@Wipqozn I admitted nothing

Wipqozn

@kalina If you had a good reason for closing you'd be in here defending yourself. We know you too well @kalina.

You'd be all like "you guys are dumb poops. This is why it should be closed."

kalina

I tentatively blame reviewing on mobile using the desktop site because Stack Exchange doesn't cater for mobile on that part of the site

3ventic

SE doesn't care for mobile on most of the site

Wipqozn

3:23 PM

"Because Mobile" does seem like a good get out of jail free card.

@3ventic That's because mobile sites are usually bad forever and always.

Seriously. The screen size of most mobile devices are just way too small to be able to make anything good on them.

Sterno

I swear, most of my time spent in the flag queue is responding with "This is an invalid flag"

Wipqozn

So there's no point putting in a bunch of effort when something is going to just be bad no matter how hard you try.

3ventic

Successful mobile site: take desktop site, replace images where possible, make fixed elements static

Most of the time that will be better than anything else you can come up with

kalina

Responsive web design

Responsive Web design (RWD) is a Web design approach aimed at crafting sites to provide an optimal viewing experience—easy reading and navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning, and scrolling—across a wide range of devices (from mobile phones to desktop computer monitors). A site designed with RWD adapts the layout to the viewing environment by using fluid, proportion-based grids, flexible images, and CSS3 media queries, an extension of the @media rule. * The fluid grid concept calls for page element sizing to be in relative units like percentages, rather than absolute units like pix...

badp

Responsive web design notices you're on mobile and responds with a middle finger.

Wipqozn

3:26 PM

@kalina Yes, but that doesn't solve the core problem: mobile device screen size is just too small.

kalina

@Wipqozn my mobile device has seven inches of screen

3ventic

That's why you can zoom

kalina

I've seen penis that is smaller than that

I honestly didn't laugh

Sterno

I try not to look at penis.

Mana

wow

we went there

kalina

3:27 PM

yes we did

let's go there again

Mana

what do we do now

Sterno

6 out of 7 "Not an answer" flags I just reviewed I deemed invalid. :(

Mana

Sterno, why is your hat intruding on my personal chat space?

this is making me really uncomfortable.

Yuki

@kalina Well, that was a weird tangent.

badp

@Mana we wait. We've been waiting for 75 days and we'll wait for hundreds more.

And then we'll stop waiting. Forever.

Sterno

3:29 PM

@Mana Because it can!

kalina

@Sterno I just deemed all of your invalid flags as invalid

Sterno

Dec 17 at 12:40, by Sterno

I like the frost hat because you can position it pretty ridiculously high. And hats are best when they're annoying other people.

It's best
when I have a message
that spans
multiple lines
like this one
does

kalina

your hat is hiding my name

sets fire to @Sterno

stop being so old

Mana

hey kal

badp

@kalina The unimportant letters of it

Mana

3:31 PM

how's it going

kalina

how rude

every letter has equal importance

hey @man

it's not going bad, how's it going for you?

Mana

it's alright

winter vacation is nice

badp

okay @ina

kalina

oh cool

@man ping bombs

Powerlord

I was wondering why we were out of @Mana.

Wipqozn

3:32 PM

@Mana It's going good for me too. Thanks for asking!

Oh wait, you didn't!

Mana

I'm just going to spend all of my time with @kal here.

kalina

I am the best person on the bridge to spend all of your time with

Wipqozn

I see how it is.

5pike

Kali

(, ), also known as (), is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment, shakti. The name Kali comes from kāla, which means black, time, death, lord of death, Shiva. Since Shiva is called Kāla—the eternal time—Kālī, his consort, also means "Time" or "Death" (as in time has come). Hence, Kāli is the Goddess of Time and Change. Although sometimes presented as dark and violent, her earliest incarnation as a figure of annihilation of evil forces still has some influence. Various Shakta Hindu cosmologies, as well as Shākta Tantric beliefs, worship her as the ultimate reality or Brahma...

It all makes sense now.

Mana

oh my god.

Powerlord

3:34 PM

@kalina I was going to try saying something funny here, but I can't think of a way to word it to prevent perverts from interpreting it as innuendo.

badp

deities are off-topic

bans @kali

Wipqozn

I need to decide on lunch. How unfair.

kalina

@badp HOW RUDE

today I woke up early and took apart part of my car

Wipqozn

On one hand, I could get sushi. More expensive, and requires driving, but then I have sushi. I could also just go to the grocery store. Cheapest option, but requires driving. I could also go to the caf. Medium price option, and also the easiest.

kalina

and then replaced it with parts from another car

and now it doesn't rattle

Yuki

3:35 PM

Ugh. I can't decide between the in-movie version of Go The Distance and Michael Bolton's end credits version. Help me, @AshleyNunn.

Sterno

@Wipqozn Pizza. Delivered.

Wipqozn

@Sterno but I don't want pizza

@Sterno but I don't want pizza

@badp That's an option.

I kind of feel like chicken fingers and fries.

Sterno

You must be out of your mind.

5pike

@Wipqozn What you want is irrelevant.

Wipqozn

Or some sort of rice and chicken combination.

kalina

@Wipqozn chickens don't have fingers

Wipqozn

3:36 PM

@5pike Oh...

OrigamiRobot

@kalina Will I get in trouble if I google SPACECAKES while at work?

kalina

@OrigamiRobot yes

Wipqozn

Maybe I'll check out the lunch specials in the caf before deciding.

kalina

cakes made with marijuana in them

FEichinger

@OrigamiRobot most likely very much, yes.

Q: Is my flag review notification bugged?

For the past few days now, I've noticed that my flag counter next to the review queue hasn't been functioning properly. Currently, it's showing there are 5 flags awaiting review: However, when I view the flags, I'm only shown 1 or 2. Upon flagging/reviewing those 1 or 2 things, the counter woul...

badp

@OrigamiRobot It's only slightly worse than angel cake.

Sterno

This is still driving me insane.

Wipqozn

If I never return, then tell @OrigamiRobot I love him.

kalina

@badp angel cake is completely safe for work

well

actually...

FEichinger

@kalina Nah, not really.

OrigamiRobot

3:38 PM

@Wipqozn As though you needed to tell me.

badp

@FEichinger If it never appears on your monitor how can it be unsafe for work?

kalina

angel cakes are perfectly safe for work

@FEichinger's interpretation of angel cakes should be kept private

badp

unless you have pictures, I mean.

FEichinger

@kalina Psh! You're responsible for that.

kalina

ElfSlice

3:39 PM

I left these to finish downloading overnight.

FEichinger

Anything but.

ElfSlice

Thx steam.

I guess Steam decided it didn't want to download them once I left.

OrigamiRobot

Anything butt.

kalina

It is not possible to be more innocent than I am

ElfSlice

@OrigamiRobot Everything butt.

OrigamiRobot

3:40 PM

@kalina I am far more innocent than you.

kalina

hahahahahahahahaha

no

FEichinger

@kalina It's very much possible.

Yuki

It is in fact so possible, that it is more unlikely to be less innocent that you are.

@Wipqozn No, pizza.

@Wipqozn What you want is irrelevant.

Wipqozn

@5pike Sushi is always better than pizza.

ElfSlice

@Sterno I have to wait till Jan 12

kalina

pizza is always better than every other food option

ElfSlice

3:44 PM

Or I could ask @Mana to rename me I guess

Mana

@kalina come on, you missed two mods, Juan and Oak

ElfSlice

Today's Listening

kalina

@Mana to be honest, you're lucky I put Oak in there

5pike

Pizza is the best food, because you can just put anything on it.

kalina

it's hard to remember the names of all of these people who are barely present

ElfSlice

3:45 PM

@kalina I haven't seen oak in like a billion years

Wipqozn

@Sterno Elves don't just exist around christmas.

Sterno

Also, Agent86

Braiam

@ElfSlice you have never seen Oak... in your life...

Wipqozn

He should just change his avatar to something fantasy.

kalina

oh, damn, I forgot agent86

Sterno

3:45 PM

@Wipqozn Elves don't just exist.

@kalina More importantly, @Mana forgot @Agent86.

Mana

uh.

kalina

it's fine, I fixed it

IN BEFORE THE TIMEOUT

Mana

what are you talking about

Sterno

DAMN YOU AND YOUR EDITS

kalina

@Sterno it's fine, his edit is still wrong

kalina

dammit

he just fixed it

ElfSlice

And I hate waiting for the rules

@ElfSlice no

@Mana ok

this is what you all deserve for making stupid festive names

ElfSlice

@kalina Still didn't work.

kalina

don't tell him what? I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT

Sterno

@Wipqozn I'm sad you're back. I was looking forward to telling @OrigamiRobot that you love him.

Wipqozn

@Sterno You can tell him anyways.

Sterno

@Wipqozn it isn't poignant unless you're dead

I don't suppose you could...?

Mana is short for SecretOfMana, so I say we are allowed to use the full name.

So @mana can just rename himself Christmas.
