HOLY NOPE SPAM.
 
WALL OF NOPE
 
13 candidates, 3 seats, 3 weeks, all of the NOPE.
 
lalala .oO( has NOPE on ignore )
 
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment If you are having an emergency, Stack Exchange should not be the first thing you do.
 
1:01 AM
@badp and we still have more days to go!
 
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment Isn't there already a Fitness.SE?
There is! It's where I read up on barefoot running!
 
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment Closed as too-localized-to-Moldova
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment and-Ukraine-while-we're-at-it
 
@Fluttershy Yeah, she pretty much said the same. Let it go away in time. But, she did say that a dermatologist can apply something called "beetle juice" to it. She didn't know what it was either. I'm guessing it's a medication that dries out the lesions and makes them less likely to spread.
 
@Yuki No, no preparedness. Not response.
 
Brb. Proposing Missouri.SE. Sample question: How can we be dumber with our guns?
@DavidM If I say it three times, does Michael Keaton show up at my door? Because I'd be willing to give that a shot, were it the case.
But seriously, thank you, and thanks to your wife, for your collective inputs. :)
 
1:03 AM
@Fluttershy That could VERY well happen.
 
Also seriously, Michael Keaton is awesome.
 
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment just took a dump on the Bridge
 
Betelguese, betelguese, betel--OOps you ALMOST tricked me into it!

Q: Features of Neverwinter (MMORPG)

JCalcinesI want to try NewverWinter. I have played to NeverWinter Nights 1 and 2 and I liked the story, the environment, the skill tree and so on. The problem is that I played to one MMORPG (Lineage) and before of that I don't like this kind of games anymore. So I have some questions for the experimented...

 
1:05 AM
@MBraedley I've been saying this place needs a bathroom for quite some time . . .
 
user15026
@Lazers I dont like this question
 
@Krazer I work in Danbury, CT . . . and I was in the Emergency Room that day.
 
@Krazer Our state is trying to re-instate death by firing squad. We already have lethal injection, why do we need that?
 
user15026
Do I need milk to make an omelette?
 
1:07 AM
@Fluttershy It's too hard to get Pentobarbital anymore. The company in Denmark that makes it won't export it for use in lethal injection.
@AshleyNunn No. A splash of water works better.
 
@DavidM Is there any other use for pentobarbital?
 
@AshleyNunn sparkling water is even better
 
@Yuki Absolutely.
 
(makes it fluffier)
 
I would assume so, considering said company is still making it.
 
user15026
1:08 AM
@DavidM oh good, I really want eggs for dinner, and my milk was all separated and I was like oh no now what
 
@kalina I've never tried it, but I've always heard that.
 
@FAE I'm not sure if I should admire or be horribly disturbed by your ability to dig up reference material.
 
@Yuki It used to be, along with Thiopental, a leading anesthetic induction agent.
 
@AshleyNunn I prefer milk, but yeah, water still works
 
in one of the previous houses I lived in there was never any milk
lots of practice
 
FAE
1:09 AM
@kalina what, why?
 
major experimentation
 
But, Propofol works much better.
 
mostly inedible
 
FAE
@FEichinger :D
 
user15026
I usually make like french toast or poached eggs or something but I am like.....aaaaaaa I want eggs and I have things I could make a good omelette out of
 
1:10 AM
@FAE one of my friends had a major addiction to milk
would just drink it out of the bottle
like 2 pints a day
 
We do still use it for things like medically induced coma. It works better than Propofol for that.
 
FAE
@kalina Like... addiction to the point it became a problem?
...huh
 
@kalina ... What the.
 
@AshleyNunn make cream?
 
@FAE I'm not actually sure that's possible
 
user15026
1:10 AM
@Krazer no, its just not good.
 
user15026
I threw it out
 
Ohichat. What's new?
 
@AshleyNunn Yes, I needed that image at 2am before my about-to-take-a-nap meal.
 
user15026
@FEichinger sorry :(
 
@AshleyNunn No worries.
 
FAE
1:11 AM
@kalina I wouldn't think so physiologically, but people's brains can be weird sometimes.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz there's a mod election going on
 
I have, sadly, seen worse.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz WYLD STALLYNS!
 
Anything interesting happen today?
 
@kalina Considering his "nomination", I would assume he knows.
 
1:12 AM
@Fluttershy Party On Dudes!
 
@FEichinger I know
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz nOPE.
Oops.
 
I've been a little swamped trying to get some work done before driving straight into a scary storm tomorrow like a lunatic.
 
@kalina Yeh, yeh, I just wanted to point out: "nomination".
 
1:12 AM
Nope.
 
FAE
@FEichinger Why are you eating then just napping this late?
 
user15026
@FAE THe worst it will do is keep you in the bathroom for a while.
 
user15026
Yahoo answers says teh milk fat can clog your brain. :P
 
@FAE Well, for one, I have a day off tomorrow. Secondly, I'm young and all! I don't need "sleep".
 
@feichinger don't be that guy.
 
user15026
1:13 AM
Not really sure what to say about that.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Well you are being "that guy", too.
 
@kalina Obsession would be a better term.
 
FAE
@FEichinger Technically declaration
 
@DavidM probably
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn Yeah, true
 
1:13 AM
@feichinger wat.
 
@Wandang I was wrong, there's an option to send 10% of your payment to charity.
 
FAE
@FEichinger Well, that works!
 
@AshleyNunn I hope it was written EXACTLY like that, too. "teh milk fat can clog your brain."
 
user15026
@DavidM pretty much, yes
 
I LOVE misspelled advice on the internet.
 
user15026
1:15 AM
It is pretty awesome
 
With autocorrect, you almost have to TRY to misspell.
 
Jan 16 at 17:29, by FEichinger
autocortext? Duck this shot.
All of those were genuine misspells thanks to autocorrect, within ten minutes or so.
 
@FEichinger None of those are misspelled. Just incorrect.
Well, maybe autocortext.
Although, I'm going to decide here and now that autocortext is any writing found on the bottom of an automobile after you clean away road tar.
 
My point being mostly, are you sure the autocorrect is even on?
There's plenty reason to switch it off.
 
@FEichinger You can always turn it off, but keep spellcheck on.
 
1:19 AM
Spellcheck isn't really taken seriously.
"Hey, whee, squiggly lines on half the words I usually type! But I'm sure they're spelt properly!"
 
in Tavern on the Meta on Meta Stack Overflow Chat, 1 hour ago, by Shog9
@jmac Just change your name to @GnomeSlice and nominate on Aqade. Instant mod.
ಠ_ಠ
 
@FEichinger That's the problem with them kids today. No one knows how to spellcheck anymore. And, no one can use a calculator anymore . . .
 
@GnomeSlice He misspelled "suspension."
:P
 
Quiet, you.
 
Aqade is a different stack for discussing the side effects of syphilis . . . :)
 
1:22 AM
... That is brilliant.
Just friggin brilliant.
 
Realtalk: a nonzero portion of my reason for throwing my hat in the ring was to see (and show off) my meta-rep stats aggregated like that.
 
How many mod seats are up for election? Just one?
 
@DavidM 3.
 
@DavidM 3
You can see that on the election page, you know.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I wanted to see that too, but I didn't nominate.
 
1:24 AM
@FEichinger You have underestimated JUST how lazy I am.
 
Hmm... I might want to meta some more. But there lies The Dark Path...
 
@DavidM ... Remember that "problem with them kids today" talk you just gave ... Yeh.
 
@FEichinger My excuse is that I'm old.
 
@DavidM That is not an excuse for lazy. In fact, it's the opposite of an excuse for lazy.
 
Honestly. I just missed it on the right hand portion of the screen. I was wrapped up in reading the text description.
 
1:26 AM
See, that's the truth. Next time, start with the truth.
 
There goes more of my money.
 
@FEichinger All that truth stuff . . . Just gets in the way of what really matters . . .
 
@GnomeSlice Wait, Rie Kugimiya does the voicing for the main character in Blades of Time? Does the Steam version let me switch to Japanese voices?
 
What really matters is that, in my tired state, your spaced ellipses start to get annoying. NAPTIME.
 
@Yuki shrug I have no idea. The English voice acting isn't stellar though.
@Yuki Want me to check?
 
1:28 AM
@FEichinger That is because I learned to type when people used typewriters (not me but people). And, they insisted that ellipses had spaces, and periods (full stops for the Englishmen) had two spaces afterwards.
 
@GnomeSlice Sure.
 
@Yuki No problem, give me a couple minutes.

Q: Can I free a vassal imprisonned by another?

JupotterSo, here is the situation. When my heir turned 16, I gave him a small county for him to gain prestige. I then noticed he had a pretty useful duchy claim, that quickly pressed, and won. He is now Jarl with only a county outside his de jure duchy. Obviously, the original owner of the duchy (not the...

 
FAE
@DavidM I still type with 2 spaces after a period even though I know it gets taken out...
My teacher didn't teach us spaces for an ellipsis though, so that was never ingrained into me.
 
@FAE In fact, two spaces will actually generate a period.
At least on iOS
 
FAE
1:30 AM
I think I was like the last grade in my school to learn on a typewriter though.
@DavidM I didn't know that for the longest time, haha. I've only had a smartphone since 2012 though.
I learned on a typewriter then through a computer program on 5" floppies.
 
FAE
(in the same class)
 
@Yuki Is that Japanese?
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice Yes
 
@GnomeSlice Yeah, that'd be Japanese.
 
1:31 AM
@FAE I didn't learn on one. I was taught on an Apple IIe. But, the keyboarding teacher hated my typing because I typed faster than she did, and didn't use classical form!
 
Then yes, it lets you switch.
 
weird question
 
Hi everyone!
 
Granted, I had a computer in my home since 1978 or so . . .
 
do carrots have pulp?
 
FAE
1:31 AM
@DavidM I was the fastest typist in 6th grade, which is when I learned. A whopping 46wpm. :P
 
@spugsley Not unless you pulverize them.
@FAE LOL
 
user15026
@spugsley If you pulverize/juice them, you will have pulp bits left over
 
@spugsley Depends on if you smash them or not.
 
Ummm guys, telling a guy who asks 5 bad questions at once to split them up is not helpful.
 
@Lazers If you have to ask . . .
 
1:32 AM
@DavidM ok...then safe for my stomach if eaten raw?
 
@spugsley In your current state . . . I would avoid anything with that much fiber.
 
FAE
@spugsley It's a lot of work for your stomach to process.
 
Basically any raw veggie.
 
FAE
@spugsley Raw veggies take some oomph.
 
@FAE oof okay
 
FAE
1:33 AM
^
 
@FAE I just got that . . . :D
 
@DavidM yeah they said my intestines were inflammed. So I have to be careful with what I eat cause it can take awhile to heal :(
I'm bad at eating
 
FAE
@spugsley If you had like, baby carrots from a jar or something, that'd be easier on your stomach.
 
@spugsley Good to hear that's ALL it is.
 
Hmm... fish fingers and custard?
 
FAE
1:34 AM
@Yuki ewwwww
 
@spugsley You should look up the Low Residue Diet.
 
FAE
@spugsley Soups!
 
It's what they recommend for this situation.
 
@DavidM yeah. They did a CT and blood work

Q: Number of players needed for completing the game

JCalcinesHow many friends do you need for playing this game? It is usual in MMORPG games to need a fixed team for playing or when you reach at some point you need a team because the difficulty increases a lot. I would like to know about this time of constraints in this NeverWinter (MMORPG)

 
1:35 AM
@spugsley I gotta head to the gym right this second. But, I will be on later. If you're on, we'll chat.
Just look up Low Residue Diet. It is EXACTLY what you need to be eating until you feel better.
 
@DavidM kk :)
 
A low residue diet is a diet designed to reduce the frequency and volume of stools while prolonging intestinal transit time. It is similar to a low-fiber diet, but typically includes restrictions on foods that increase bowel activity, such as milk, milk products, and prune juice. A low residue diet typically contains less than 7–10 grams of fiber per day. Long term use of this diet, with its emphasis on processed foods and reduced intake of fruits and vegetables, may not provide required amounts of nutrients including potassium, vitamin C, calcium, and folic acid. New evidence tend...
OK. I gotta run on that happy note.
 
Potential epilepsy warning ^
 
Stay well Bridge denizens.
 
1:38 AM
Pretty hard list to argue too much with, TBQH.
 
FAE
@LessPop_MoreFizz I still need to read Lolita.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Considering it's not really something I want to argue with against someone who has a strong opinion, I guess you're right.
 
Hooray!
10k
Is this a bad omen?
 
@Retrosaur oh you renamed back?
and 'grats on 10k
 
@kalina The old name was too wordy and confused too many people trying to ping me via comments
 
1:42 AM
that I can believe!

Q: There is any huge difference between NeverWinter MMORPG and Neverwinter Nights 2 classes and skill tree?

JCalcinesNeverWinter Nights 2 had a very complex skill tree and class selection. I remember that you has limited to choose 3 classes maximun. 1 of them specialization. And each class has a top level 20. (Top 40 for the character) I would like to know if exists many differences between them.

 
FAE
Okay, sleep time for me. Goodnight all.
 
night, @FAE
 
Elections are fun.
 
Your questions demonstrate a complete lack of research effort, which is one of the standard criteria for questions here at Arqade. Furthermore, questions like "what is the point of this game" tend to vacillate between being prejudicial to the point of not being real questions, to being too broad and opinion based to be effectively answered. I apologize that when you asked your first question, someone saw a bunch of bullet points and reflexively encouraged you to split them up, but most of your questions are just not good fits here on Arqade. — LessPop_MoreFizz 39 secs ago
Too harsh?

Q: Garry's Mod Server port problems

ErraticFoxI hate that they discontinued HLDSUpdateTool. It was so much easier imo. I'm having trouble with port forwarding. I cannot connect via external IP, only my local IP. Here are the ports I have forwarded: 27015 UDP, 27005 UDP, 27017 UDP The reason I have port 27017 forwarded is because when I sta...

 
@FAE You do.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I think it's well said.
 
FAE
@LessPop_MoreFizz It's sitting on my bookshelf on my very large stack of "to read" books! I do plan on it sometime this year though.
And now sleep for real.
 
@FAE But yeah, the grammatical example cited in that article is indicative of just how perfectly written Lolita is.
I still find it remarkable that one of the greatest masters of the English language ever to live was not a native speaker.
 
FAE
And English was like... his fourth language or something.
Yeah, that.
Okay, now for real, augh.
 
1:57 AM
@FAE It's mind blowing that a man could be a successful and critically acclaimed writer of novels in russian
 
Hmm... now I am going to add it to my "someday I'm going to read" stack.
 
and then, within 3 years, just totally flip a switch, and become literally one of the 4 or 5 greatest writers of prose (just from a pure use-of-language perspective alone) in the history of the English language
@Coronus the first paragraph of Lolita alone is just... one of the most breathtaking bits of English ever put to paper, IMO:
> Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta. She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita. Did she have a precursor?
> She did, indeed she did. In point of fact, there might have been no Lolita at all had I not loved, one summer, an initial girl-child. In a princedom by the sea. Oh when? About as many years before Lolita was born as my age was that summer. You can always count on a murderer for a fancy prose style. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, exhibit number one is what the seraphs, the misinformed, simple, noble-winged seraphs, envied. Look at this tangle of thorns.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz not too harsh, but the phrase "complete lack of research effort" is never well received. It always seems to set people off.
 
@Sterno Well good. Life's no fun without a few fireworks.
 
That's my motto.
But seriously, I wonder if there is a better way for us to phrase that to newbies. I think a lot take it as "you're lazy. Google that shit before you come here." Which, really, it is.
Really, newbies should just be banned from asking "why the downvotes"? 99% of problems solved!
 
2:05 AM
@Sterno the thing is, at least when I use the phrase, it's a question that you wouldn't even ask, if you so much as looked at the description of the game on Steam or whatever.
nine times out of ten, when someone asks a question about a game they're thinking about buying, it's a terrible question.
 
user43095
Would I make a bad moderator?
 
@JeffreyLin Well, you're name isn't ArdaXi so you've got that going for you.
 
user43095
@LessPop_MoreFizz What happened to him?
 
Don't know you well enough to say!
 
@JeffreyLin But more to the point, you're asking the wrong question. It's not "Would I be bad at this," it's "would I be good at this?" that matters.
 
user43095
2:10 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Would I make a good moderator?
 
@JeffreyLin He's going to make a terrible mod.

A: The Memes of Arqade and its Chat

badpMeme: Arda is going to make a terrible mod Originator: Mana Cultural Height: Terrible Background The chat conversation that brought us this fundamental truth, and Arda's acceptance thereof. Related murder

 
@JeffreyLin Well, that's the question isn't it? As for the answer... well, fundamentally, the first question you need to answer is "Why do I want to be a mod," and just as importantly, "why do I need to be a mod to do that?"
 
@Fluttershy you around?
 
2:13 AM
@spugsley For a brief moment. I'm about to go get dinner. What's up?
 
@OrigamiRobot wants to know why he can't open the last armory on RoR. He has the keycard and he's opened the rest
 
user43095
I think I did a pretty bad job of convincing people.
 
I'm sure you'd be a perfectly adequate flag-handler, but honestly, we as a community expect more from our moderators than that they be mere internet-janitors.
> I'm going to flat-out say that I probably won't make a good moderator for this site.
 
@JeffreyLin have more confidence
 
That's not a very good way to convince me that you're going to be a good moderator.
I have no reason not to take you at your word on that statement.
And if I take you on your word, then why on earth would I vote for you?
 
2:14 AM
@spugsley It's buggy. Both of you walk away from the door, then have him walk back by himself to try it. Otherwise, I honestly don't know. I've not been able to work out a cause. :(
 
@JeffreyLin Yes. I don't know you and all I got out of your nom is that you think you'd suck at it and that you admitted to being an age I'm not even sure is allowed for a regular user.
 
@Fluttershy I'm not playing I died
 
@JeffreyLin As written, your statement tells me that as a moderator, you will take even less of a role in moderating the site. That's... not encouraging.
@Sterno 13 is the minimum.
 
Age comment retracted!
 
user43095
@LessPop_MoreFizz Well, I see being a moderator as sort of dangerous
 
user43095
2:16 AM
You have the ability to screw something up.
 
user43095
And it's irreversible.
 
user15026
@JeffreyLin Generally not true.
 
Most things are reversible.
 
actually not
arrg...
 
user43095
Yes, but things mods do are "binding"
 
user15026
2:18 AM
@JeffreyLin That just means when we vote to close, it closes, not like things can't be reopened or whatever.
 
Okay. Continuum season finale was pretty darn good.
 
user43095
@AshleyNunn Yes, that.
 
user43095
Okay, I need to think about this.
 
@JeffreyLin That's true. But that's kind of the point of being a mod. The community is entrusting you with that ability, because you are the person they believe can and will use it properly.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz This.
 
2:20 AM
cc @kalina
 
Why is the mothership only firing 1 kind of lazer? That seems rather ineffective. What if someone has a type immunity to that lazer?
 
It's really only a problem if you keep overriding the community's will with your binding vote.
 
@JeffreyLin basically, I don't think you fully understand what the role of a moderator is, or why you'd want to be one, you've simply tossed your hat into the ring because... reasons?
If that's not the case, you need to more fully articulate your vision of what that role is, and why you believe you're the appropriate person to fill it.
 
Well, it is fun to win things.

@spugsley Wait you died?
 
2:21 AM
@Ktash yes :( I'm bad this game
 
@spugsley Clarification about a game would help, considering your recent illness concerns ;)
 
@Ktash ha :) Yeah. Went to the ER last night and feeling a little better. It's going to be a process
 
If that is the case, then yes, I agree with your original statement that you wouldn't make a good mod; clarity of purpose is important, and it's worth thinking about in the context of taking on this sort of responsibility. Entering the election just to see how many votes you get is a form of masturbation that belittles the process; we have a number of very strong candidates, and I suspect we'll see a few more before the week is out.
If you don't legitimately believe you can do a better job than any of them, then why are you running?

@spugsley Did you figure out the thing?
 
That said, don't read this as me trying to talk you out of running.
 
2:23 AM
@Ktash yup. Intestinal inflammation
from my recent stomach issues
 
You should run if you want to. But you should run because you want to be a moderator, with a full understanding of what that entails, and why you want to be a moderator.
 
:( That just does not sound good. Or fun. Or good.
 
user15026
I somehow punctured my lip. It hurts :(
 
@Ktash yeah. It's gonna be awhile till things are normal. And I'm still scared it's something more :/ (yay anxiety)
 
And you should understand that, especially in your case as someone without much of a Meta track record and with more than 3k and less than 10k rep, or a huge flag count, you have a large number of avenues by which to increase your participation in the site and become a more active member of the community and take on a larger role in the maintenance of the site available to you other than simply "become a mod."
 
user43095
2:25 AM
Well, I do think that I can help the community, but I don't believe that I can do better than any other candidate, who's been here longer. I think I'll retract my nomination.
 
user15026
@spugsley hugs Deep breaths. Take good care of yourself, lovely.
 
user15026
@JeffreyLin Also, remember, there are tons of things you can do to help, even without the diamond. :)
 
user43095
@AshleyNunn Yes, I will keep doing what I'm doing now.
 
@AshleyNunn way to take a thing that took me 100 words to say and put it in 10.
 
Ok the total amount of Dogecoin sent to the Jamaican bobsled team is now over $30K USD.
 
user15026
2:26 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz It's the English degree :P
 
This is just so great
 
@RedRiderX Dogecoins are worth more than $0USD each?
 
I just read "Meta track" as "Mark Trapp" and got excited for a second.
 
user43095
@StrixVaria A little bit under 1/10000 of a cent per, if I remember correctly
 
@StrixVaria No but a lot of them put together are.

Good luck to everyone else running in the Election.

Damn it, Netflix, y u no have Cool Runnings

In the interest of full disclosure during these moderator election things...
My wife is pregnant, and the baby is due August 2nd.
Go me!

@StrixVaria Congratulations.
 
It seems like 37.5% of the funding needed to send them to Sochi was raised in Dogecoin

@StrixVaria oooh yay baby! Congrats!
 
@strix grats!
 
@StrixVaria Congratz!
 
So that will take up some of my time, but I have absolutely no idea how much.
Having never had a baby before.
Thanks all :)
 
user43095
@RedRiderX Why Doge though? Why not any other cryptocurrency?
 
@StrixVaria Grats! My wife is due right about the same time.
 
2:29 AM
@StrixVaria Hey congratulations!
 
@Sterno Oh cool! Congratulations to you too!
 
@JeffreyLin Because dogecoin is the new hotness.
 
@strix it will take all of your time. and also a bunch of time you don't have.
 
@StrixVaria mostly you just sleep less
A lot less.
does your wife work? If so, you will never sleep again.
 
@StrixVaria Oh wow! Congratulations! :D
 
2:30 AM
My wife works now but it's a terrible job and she won't when the baby is born.

@StrixVaria A friend of mine has a book that seems actually super helpful:
 
@spugsley Oh... :\ I don't know then.
 
@AshleyNunn This sounds hilarious.
 
user15026
@StrixVaria It is! It is hilarious AND helpful.
 
2:30 AM
@JeffreyLin because dogecoin is a joke and a bunch of assholes who kind of think the jamaican bobsled team is a joke decided to be assholes and crack a lot of jokes.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Good news! I have Pivot! And HitRecord is already set to auto-record on my DVR! :D
 
@Fluttershy I don't like you anymore.
 
user43095
@RedRiderX I have $20 of Bitcoins.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz But... But... Beer... and movies. T_T
 
2:31 AM
Way for me to ruin my own platform :P
 
user43095
@LessPop_MoreFizz Half of the cryptocurriencies listed here are a joke.
 
But I don't think it would be fair to the site if I were elected and then said, "also btw I'm going to have no free time in 6 months".
 
@JeffreyLin Only half?
 
@StrixVaria diaper changing and crap like that is easy. The hard part is when they're crying and you don't know why and you start worrying they're dying or something. And the not sleeping for the first 3 months.
 
user43095
@LessPop_MoreFizz You're right, make that 9/10
 
2:32 AM
@JeffreyLin Only 90%?
 
user43095
@LessPop_MoreFizz ._.
 
@StrixVaria That's phenomenal! Surprisingly, the first kid is both difficult and easy at the same time. The second and third kids, on the other hand...
 
user43095
95%

That's some nice maths they got there.
 
@JasonBerkan It's a lot to look forward to and a lot to be terrified of all at once.
 
@Fluttershy you wanna play with us?
 
@StrixVaria end result will probably be more time for Arqade and less time for gaming.
 
@Sterno Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too.
I can moderate Arqade 10 minutes at a time.
 
@spugsley No thanks. Currently fooding.
 
2:33 AM
I can't game 10 minutes at a time, really.
 
user43095
But... how can you Arqade without gaming?
 
@Fluttershy ah ok :)
 
@JeffreyLin I manage. :)
 
@StrixVaria I lived on Runescape after my first kid, because I could start and stop whenever.
 
@JasonBerkan I love my 3DS because I can just close it and it preserves state.
 
2:35 AM
@StrixVaria Exactly. I actually game more on my iPhone now for just that reason. And my kids are old enough that I can't play most games in front of them.
 
@RedRiderX Does this mean Dogecoin worth is measured in Bitcoins?
 
user43095
@StrixVaria Generally all cryptocurrency worth is measured in BTC or LTC or some other huge cryptocurrency.
 
@JeffreyLin generally all cryptocurrency worth is measured in poop.
 
user43095
And then that is converted to USD. Because the cryptocurrency is most likely worth 1/10,000 of a penny.
 
@badp Are you about?
 
user43095
2:42 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Would you like a dollar's worth of Bitcoin?
 
@JeffreyLin Not really.
 
@GraceNote I imagine he's sleeping
All that excitement over the elections coming up wore him right out.
 
He did spend a lot of time preparing for it.
 
Bela's been playing with this toy bug of @TrentHawkins; she's been going crazy batting it around.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz has a point. San Dimas High School football does rule.
 
2:56 AM
@JasonBerkan I played Runescape for a long time
 
FYI, I just rewrote my declaration to not be quite so tongue in cheek.
 
The character limit is stupidly small.
 
user15026
@StrixVaria It really is! Most of my time was spent banging my head against it.
 
@AshleyNunn For extra fun look at my revision history to see what my first idea was for how to deal with it.
