@GnomeSlice How does it handle unrecognized words?

GnomeSlice

@Garan Dunno.

@Garan Looks like it underlines it to show you it's a typo

StrixVaria

Guys please stop linking useful cool sites while I'm at work and wait until I'm home.

Garan

@GnomeSlice But even once it's added to the dictionary, how does it know what part of speech it is?

GnomeSlice

@Garan I don't know.

@StrixVaria Okay

Ben Brocka

19:03

@StrixVaria I just throw sites like that into my bookmarks bar and delete them as I check them out

@Frank Wee! It's raining! Finally!

@Frank We've had our hottest weekend this early in the year ever (well since 1855)

Q: How can I control C&C: Generals replays?

I saved several replays of my game play. but I can not control the replays (I can't forward, speed up or down for example). Is there any utility that can control C&C: Generals replays?

@GnomeSlice Anything like that for Firefox?

@GnomeSlice You are kind of evil right now. just wait a couple hours to send in the fancy things.

seriously, webdesigner depot is the place to follow for cool shit like that

@GnomeSlice Nobody who's in their right mind wears underwear under their (medieval) armour. You wear a gambeson and a hose.

Arperum

@GnomeSlice I'm in Europe, for me it's 8PM, I don't care about links coming now. But if you keep posting them at @StrixVaria he will ignore them because he's at work.

@fredley I hate you. When my boss asks why I didn't get any work done today, my answer is just going to be "Because fredley is a terrible person."

Fuck @fredley, I was going to do some animation today but now I'm playing 2048 and threesjs

fredley

@TimStone Have you played TagPro yet?

That is what's killing me at work

Origami Robot

@Wipqozn I did this one time and realized I could just just as far mashing keys as I could if I actually tried.

Frank

Is this spam?

Kinda seems like it.

Tim Stone

@fredley I'm scared to admit that I haven't

Frank

And yes, it is. It's self-promotion.

GnomeSlice

19:19

@Frank Nope. Its relevant to the question.

@Frank Self-promotion is not always a problem if the product is actually useful to the question.

Although he's asking specifically about hamachi, so maybe downvote it.

Also, the 2048 game is quite different in execution due to the fact that you can combine the smallest items (you don't first have to put 1 and 2 together)

@KevinvanderVelden Not to mention it combines in one turn rather than two.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Not really. Someone is asking how to do something with one program, and he's just saying "use my program instead" without actually answering the question.

GnomeSlice

Although he's asking specifically about hamachi, so maybe downvote it.

Wipqozn

19:23

He only has two answers on Arqade and both are the same thing. Responding to Hamachi questions with "just use my propgram"

GnomeSlice

nerd

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Except he's not even addressing the question with his answer, hamachi or not.

His answer is just "use my program instead".

GnomeSlice

"free Gucci bags" is spam

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice And so is this.

@Yuki A friend of mine posted this and commented that Disney should use the tech to do the Frozen stage show. @Ashleynunn enjoyed it when I showed it to her.

user20683

►

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice He's not addressing the quesiton at all. His answer is just him telling people to use his program instead of hamachi. If he was actually answering the question in his program (aka you can do this in my program by doing X), then it be a bit more borderline. Except he's not. He's just saying "use my program". That's spam.

Origami Robot

This was just pressing keys in a clockwise fashion

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn It's just low quality. If somebody answered 'use hamachi' on a question about networking would it be spam?

Yuki

@WorldEngineer Oh yeah, that'd be nice.

Wipqozn

19:27

@GnomeSlice That question is impossible to answer without more details.

Context is everything.

This is a case of someone posting a product made by them, which has features you need to pay for, to a question which is nothing about their product, and just saying "use my program."

Also, the answers have already been deleted as (I assume) spam.

Yuki

@GnomeSlice If they're involved with Hamachi (dev team, marketing, HR, whatever), then yes it'd be spam.

GnomeSlice

@Yuki Why is the validity of the answer related to who posts it?

Yuki

@GnomeSlice Because that's how SE has defined spam.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice The person posting an answer is very relevant to whether or not it's spam.

GnomeSlice

That makes no sense.

Wipqozn

19:32

@GnomeSlice It makes perfect sense.

Origami Robot

Everything @Wipqozn says makes sense. Always.

Fluttershy

Counter-clockwise!

Origami Robot

@Fluttershy Nooooo, my tech!

Fluttershy

@OrigamiRobot Your tech was clockwise. You're like the Microsoft to my Apple.

StrixVaria

Has anyone even gotten 1024 yet?

Wipqozn

19:34

@GnomeSlice Would you say whether or not the person profits from posting a link relevant to if it should be considered spam?

Origami Robot

@Fluttershy What are you even talking about?

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn Not if the content of the answer is the same.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice The same as what?

Yuki

cc @Sterno @FEichinger @kalina @fredley @Wipqozn (drama)

Whoops.

Eh, I guess this counts as minor drama.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn as if it were posted by somebody else

@Fluttershy Nooooo, my tech!

Yuki

@Fluttershy So... for some unexplained reason, you turn up as the main villain in a spin-off involving @OrigamiRobot's sidekick in an attempt to recruit him and you end up losing a lot of your "serious villain" cred as you can't beat a bunch of teenage superheroes?

Fluttershy

This seems to imply otherwise. <_<

Origami Robot

Where does it say steal?

Fluttershy

@OrigamiRobot The operative word in my statement was imply. :P

Origami Robot

19:38

I'm still not seeing it.

Yuki

Note that in the incident, you go by your real name because you feel that your villain name is too "evil" and "dark".

Powerlord

@StrixVaria You mean exactly 1024?

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Okay, well, you're obviously not going to agree with us on this, and the messages have already been mod deleted. There's no point continuing this conversation.

Fluttershy

@Yuki He even joined the Titans at one point!

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn Are you angry with me?

Origami Robot

19:39

Also, isn't Deathstroke the DC ripoff of Deadpool?

GnomeSlice

@Powerlord A 1024 tile.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice No?

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn Okay, good. Just checking.

Fluttershy

@OrigamiRobot More or less.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn Sounds good.

Powerlord

19:39

@GnomeSlice Oh right... nope, I haven't even got a 512 yet

GnomeSlice

@Powerlord I've only gotten 256 a few times.

x_x

Origami Robot

(hint: it's the other way round)

Fluttershy

Though, I guess if you wanna get technical, Deadpool is the Marvel ripoff of Deathstroke, as Deathstroke's been around since the 80s.

@OrigamiRobot TOO LATE I WAS ALREADY TYPING ^

Origami Robot

@Fluttershy Well then I'm not the one who was late, am I?

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy Spoilers: Most marvel and DC comic book heroes have been ripped off by the other one at some point.

Fluttershy

19:41

Huh. I just noticed the name similarities too. Wade Wilson and Slade Wilson. They weren't even subtle!

Origami Robot

@Fluttershy It was pretty intentional.

fredley

> To survive an early puzzle you needed to enjoy a particularly harrowing experience. So they had to put an 'enjoy' verb in the game. And having done so they programmed responses to your enjoyment of just about every object in the game. So enjoy your house. Enjoy the mud. Enjoy Mr. Prosser. Enjoy the tea substitute. Enjoy everything. Maintaining a positive outlook is so important.

This is amazing

StrixVaria

@fredley Context?

You can easily get to a 256 block by just mindlessly mashing up left down right. rinse and repeat.

Frank

20:15

Exploding Palm is my new favorite skill.

Origami Robot

@Frank Every time I try to use it, I forget it's not a spirit generator and use it constantly.

StrixVaria

@Frank I wasn't too impressed by it.

It relies on enemies actually dying to be fully effective, which you can't rely on against elites.

So it's mostly useful for clearing trash, which is easy to clear anyway, and not as useful in the actual tough fights.

Frank

@StrixVaria Elites are where it REALLY shines.

Get them all nearby, drop it on one, as soon as it dies, boom, half their health, gone.

Yuki

Really, really inappropriate advertising.

Frank

Drop it on MORE than one, and they all die as soon as you kill the first one.

Origami Robot

20:18

@Frank What's your DPS, BTW?

Frank

@OrigamiRobot ~122K.

Origami Robot

@StrixVaria Have I asked you about your monk?

Fluttershy

@Yuki Yikes...

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot Uh...I don't think so?

You've played with my monk a bunch over the past few days, though.

GnomeSlice

@Yuki ಠ_ಠ

Origami Robot

20:21

I mean your DPS.

StrixVaria

It's either 85k or 95k right now.

Switching back to two one-handed weapons with crit damage and emeralds only increases it by like 2-3% though.

Origami Robot

Weird

StrixVaria

And taking the 7ss cooldown into account, if anything that would decrease my total damage output.

Since about 90% of my damage comes from the burst on 7ss right now.

not sure how to deal with this now... lol

Grace Note

Head's up for those who are actually aware it exists, and I guess those who might not, but we're lookin' at taking down the GameOn server. It was great when we started the thing and we were having weekly events and everyone was all excited but right now, there's... about a handful of people who occasionally use it (which for the most part it's just the Mumble server right now).

Frank

@GraceNote Do we get to keep our Mumble server, at least?

Or does that go down, too?

Grace Note

Right now, it's sorta getting ported over to the Minecraft server that is being run by Jochem, since they make up the majority of people actively using it, but that is sorta basically tied to the Minecraft stuff, so - lives and dies with that.
