1:00 PM

@Manaಠдಠ well your joke hurt. I'm going to go cry some more.

Mana ಠдಠ

Me too.

I'm going to cry lots of...Recettears pffffffffffffffffft

Arda Xi

@Manaಠдಠ I remember someone who was going to make a terrible mod because his jokes were bad.

Wipqozn

@Manaಠдಠ Excellent choice!

Arda Xi

@Manaಠдಠ You're gonna racketeer?

Tom Wijsman

@Mana: I put a lot of items an my first adventurer in one of the Dungeon runs in order to make him stronger, but all I actually did was lose the items... :(

Mana ಠдಠ

1:01 PM

@Tom :( I feel your pain.

A: Is it any use combining Sorcerer's Shoes and void staff

For the most part I consider Void Staff to be an item worth considering only if my main targets (AP/AD carries, maybe even the support in rare cases) are stacking magic resist. Generally speaking you should just get Sorceres Shoes and then focus on building AP or other things... HOWEVER: Some he...

I don't regret using my last votes of the day on this answer and its question

good stuff, yo

user30

ah, that's what I found earlier, a Demon Altar

Mana ಠдಠ

oh my god I lost all the stuff Louie had equipped just because I went to the title screen?!

:(

that's worse than dying, that's like literally taking all my best items and throwing them down a waterfall.

Wipqozn

@Manaಠдಠ close vote, or up vote?

Mana ಠдಠ

from which they can't be retrieved for some reason.

@Wipqozn upvote :|

geez, I'm not that close-happy

Wipqozn

@Manaಠдಠ OKay l o l. I just didn't realize we had limited up votes

So I was understandable confused, since I couldn't understand why you would close it.

Mana ಠдಠ

1:07 PM

Oh, you didn't? Tsk, sounds like you need to vote more!

Arda Xi

@Manaಠдಠ You're not? That's a bad quality in a mod IMO.

Wipqozn

SO it would appear. How many votes do we get?

Arda Xi

@Wipqozn 30 IIRC.

Mana ಠдಠ

30 and then an additional 10 to use on questions.

Wipqozn

I assume that's per site, not network wide?

Arda Xi

1:09 PM

@Wipqozn Nothing is network-wide.

Mana ಠдಠ

@Arda I can't tell if you're joking. You want me to close a perfectly fine question like that?

Arda Xi

@Manaಠдಠ I was referring to being close-happy in general.

I can think of reasons, within policy, to close any question.

Wipqozn

@ArdaXi oh okay, I made the same misunderstanding the mana did.

I thought you were saying not being close happy was a bad mod quality

Arda Xi

@Wipqozn That was what I was saying.

Wipqozn

@ArdaXi okay then

FallenAngelEyes

1:13 PM

Agh, dammit!

Mana ಠдಠ

@Arda I see. Well...I wasn't saying that like I'm not actively thinking of whether or not a question should be closed. I was just making a joke.

FallenAngelEyes

I was hitting one of the exploding bomb enemies to make it weak enough to hit it with a stone of magic and i accidentally critted and it exploded and killed me. :(

Arda Xi

@Manaಠдಠ I was also joking.

Well, the point is, I'm close happy, and I'm running for mod. I need to defend my position.

If I can undermine yours while I do that, then that's just bonus points.

Wipqozn

@ArdaXi Wait, so you guys are not going to fight to the death?

Arda Xi

:)

Mana ಠдಠ

1:14 PM

@Arda I give up on these mind-games.

Arda Xi

@Manaಠдಠ A strange game.

Wipqozn

@FallenAngelEyes That's why you should just stick to fishing. Less dangerous.

Mana ಠдಠ

don't even say it

Arda Xi

@Manaಠдಠ The only winning move is to withdraw.

Wipqozn

@ArdaXi You're right! then @GraceNote will be forced to stay!

That way we all win.

Arda Xi

1:15 PM

Or blowing up the entire world.

@Wipqozn Except Grace Note. She wouldn't be very happy losing his job that quickly.

Wipqozn

@ArdaXi Oh, right.. I forgot, @GraceNote's feelings matter too. My bad.

Arda Xi

Feelings other than mine matter?

Grace Note

@TomWijsman Minus 300 points for not searching Meta before posting!

Wipqozn

I often forget people other then myself matter.

Arda Xi

@Wipqozn Ninja'd.

Wipqozn

1:17 PM

@ArdaXi dang, you got your joke out Just before mine

@ArdaXi and again!

I just can't win today

Arda Xi

@Wipqozn Same strange game.

Wipqozn

@ArdaXi I suppose the only winning move is not to talk.

Tom Wijsman

@GraceNote Oh, a hidden answer by you. Reading it... :)

Arda Xi

@Wipqozn Funny, when you say multiple lines, your avatar transforms into the Doctor.

Wipqozn

@ArdaXi seriously? That's pretty awesome. Did that happen to anyone else? I'm still seeing the sword & shield

Grace Note

1:19 PM

@Wipqozn I've seen it elsewhere but it's not working on you

Arda Xi

It's probably because the 32x32 picture is still cached on my computer, but the 16x16 one isn't.

Wipqozn

Maybe the chat system just hates @ArdaXi

@ArdaXi I prefer to think the chat system has a mind of it's own, and dislikes you for some reason

Arda Xi

The chat system loves me!

Tom Wijsman

@GraceNote Ah, the answer I was looking for "go-and-apply-them". :)

Arda Xi

Unrequitedly, of course.

Grace Note

1:21 PM

Just don't go too wild, @Tom

Tom Wijsman

@GraceNote: As in "see-if-they-make-sense" or beyond that?

Grace Note

@TomWijsman It may be wise to plot out which tags you're thinking of. If you create a dozen new tags to handle this, then it'll be easier to figure out whether those tags are wise without needing to retag everything if it is decided otherwise (for example, I'm not 100% sold on item-usage myself as needing to be distinct from items).

Wipqozn

@GraceNote I agree with your bracketed statement. I would assume "items" would include "item-usage"

Tom Wijsman

@GraceNote: Ah, given that there is items that's probably better, people would indeed not search for something as specific as item-usage. So I better put up a meta request when I'm not sure...

Grace Note

Aye

Tom Wijsman

1:26 PM

On Super User, I usually used a Data Explorer query to sort out questions with one tag and get them at least 2 or 3 tags.

Grace Note

I love the title of the question Feeds is about to sprout up.

FallenAngelEyes

Haha yeah

Q: What is the most effective way to mock someone else's religion?

In the full version of Desktop Dungeons, you can gain piety with your chosen god by desecrating the altar of a different god. But doing so will cause you to suffer the wrath of the god whose altar you desecrated. What are some good ways to take advantage of this ability? It seems like the pena...

Move the text of that religion to the fiction section of your local book store

I wanted to post that as a comment, but I feared it was way too borderline

since someone that doesn't know me well enough might think I'm serious

FallenAngelEyes

@Grace I poked Spacedrake on the forums and he said they'll be getting the patch up on their [temp site] ASAP.

He responded about half an hour ago so hopefully it'll be up soon

Grace Note

@FallenAngelEyes Awesome! Thanks, @Fallen!

FallenAngelEyes

1:31 PM

They were apparently on their way to Japan or something when the patch dropped

Grace Note

Ahha

FallenAngelEyes

Also the next game they plan on releasing is Territoire, dunno if you've played that one

Grace Note

Can't say I have

FallenAngelEyes

It's apparently a turn-based strategy game

I just noticed I didn't put the link to their temp site in my message, oops. Here it is

Tom Wijsman

1:39 PM

@GraceNote: Ah, clicking a tag and looking at the related section seems like a good start. :)

Mana ಠдಠ

NO NOT THE BEES NOT THE BEES

Gahahahahaha!

Q: Should we be aiming for more tags on questions?

Possible Duplicate: Should we try to encourage at least 2 tags per question? When I look around the community, I mostly see questions that only contain a single tag. That tag represents the game the question is about, so it serves to categorize the questions by game. In comparison to ...

discussion tags

Mana ಠдಠ

to be honest though I find these ones easier than the Chantelise bees

since I don't have to keep accidentally jumping/getting knocked off cliffs

FallenAngelEyes

@Manaಠдಠ Almost spit out my pop

Grace Note

1:42 PM

@Manaಠдಠ You say that now, but wait until later, uehehehehe

See, in Chantelise, the limit on the number of bees is 4.

Mana ಠдಠ

Oh no. :(

FallenAngelEyes

Uh huh

Mana ಠдಠ

But...no beehives?? :D

Grace Note

Have you fought bosses yet, @Mana?

Mana ಠдಠ

Well I fought a king slime. And that was pretty easy. But...it was a king slime so I'm guessing I'm not going to have much fun later on.

Grace Note

1:45 PM

Well, if you've noticed, the boss has minions.

Mana ಠдಠ

oh. Oh....

I don't want to fight the queen bee ;_;

Mana ಠдಠ

2:07 PM

Why did I just have to approve a suggested edit by Brett? Can Brett force himself to suggest edits if he's unsure if they're correct?

Q: Tips for building a house

This question might be subjective. I'd like to know how you made your house, share your experiences and optionally add advantages or disadvantages. I know there are a lot of ways to build a house, so one answer isn't nessairly correct.

minecraft

Grace Note

@Manaಠдಠ He lost his diamond a while ago

Mana ಠдಠ

Oh. Did...something happen?

oh, wait, did he lose it because his job as an editor is done?

Wipqozn

@Manaಠдಠ yeah, it expired

a few days ago I believe

Grace Note

All of CHAOS's super mod powers were only temporary.

Mana ಠдಠ

2:09 PM

Makes sense.

Grace Note

Once they get through the top 1000 questions by views, they'll still stick around (and Brett in particular is now in charge of the Gaming Promotional Grant Dealie), but they won't have the moderator powers anymore.

FallenAngelEyes

Woo, Australia's finally got their R18+ video game rating

Wipqozn

@Lazers I'm leaving a comment on how he can improve that question, since "share you experiences" isn't a valid question, but not sure how to word it.

I could edit it myself, but I prefer to teach a man to fish, et cetera

Arda Xi

Wow, Braid is a powerful game.

Wipqozn

Nevermind, @mana has it covered.

@ArdaXi Indeed it is

One of my favorite

Arda Xi

2:18 PM

(Yes, I am very, very late at only just finishing it)

Mana ಠдಠ

@Wipqozn @Tom covered it first.

Tom Wijsman

@Manaಠдಠ We both covered it in a different way, I think both comments should stay...

Mana ಠдಠ

Oh. Well, okay!

Arda Xi

@Wipqozn The way it depicts the Manhattan project as something that was at first believed to be positive, but later on became negative is very interesting.

Mana ಠдಠ

@Arda spoilers ;_;

Arda Xi

2:20 PM

@Manaಠдಠ What, really? I mean, we already allow Portal 2 spoilers in here.

Mana ಠдಠ

Oh, yeah, true. Sorry.

FallenAngelEyes

I actually haven't finished it yet

user30

@FallenAngelEyes Wait, going off your screenshot, the Tiki Torch almost seems to light slightly higher

FallenAngelEyes

@ThomasMcDonald Because it sits higher off the ground

Wipqozn

Is there anyway to hide text in chat?

user30

2:22 PM

@FallenAngelEyes but yet the bottom seems to be lit the same

FallenAngelEyes

My torch was on the ground and the Tiki's light's point of origin is slightly higher

Wipqozn

@ArdaXi Yeah I agree. Did you collect all the stars?

Grace Note

I haven't touched Braid, either

Wipqozn

hm

Grace Note

But it's on my "To Do List"

Arda Xi

2:22 PM

@Wipqozn Stars?

Wipqozn

@ArdaXi Indeed! If you already 'beat' the game, you'll need to do it again to collect all the stars.

FallenAngelEyes

@ThomasMcDonald You can see that the 5th row of blocks from the bottom of the tunnel is ever ever so slightly darker with the Tiki one than the Torch one

Mana ಠдಠ

You know that you use "as you note" way too often when it appears in two sentences right next to each other. :(

Brant

... which unlocks the path to a (slightly) alternate ending

FallenAngelEyes

At least I can tell that on my monitor, I dunno if it's as clear on yours

Arda Xi

2:24 PM

It says here "The first one must be collected before all others. It can only be collected if the puzzle of World 3 is not assembled."

Can't you disassemble it?

Wipqozn

@ArdaXi Not once it's finished, and that is wrong. Except for the last one, you can collect them in any order. You just need to be careful not to assemble the world 3 puzzle before collecting it.

Arda Xi

Oh, right, you can't pull pieces apart when they've clicked.

@Wipqozn Are you sure you can get the others when you haven't got that one?

FallenAngelEyes

@Wipqozn Wait, what? In Braid? So if you've already done that, you're boned?

Arda Xi

@FallenAngelEyes No, you restart.

Wipqozn

here chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1044/spoilers

Spoilers

A room to discuss spoilers

Arda Xi

2:26 PM

The game is very, very easy to complete if you're not collecting all the puzzle pieces.

Wipqozn

Not sure why we didn't have one of these before

@FallenAngelEyes yes, you would need to restart

Grace Note

Because we have them for each specific game usually.

Mana ಠдಠ

Oh...so that's where Reginald Drisby came from.

Tom Wijsman

Have touched Braid in the past, got to the harder parts but then I stopped because I was like "it's more figuring out, less fun".

Grace Note

@Manaಠдಠ Chantelise came before Recettear.

Arda Xi

2:28 PM

@TomWijsman For me, figuring out is the fun. Much more so than just shoot to kill.

Wipqozn

@ArdaXi Agreed.

Tom Wijsman

Yeah, but sometimes I just don't see it...

Mana ಠдಠ

@Grace Oh. Wait, yeah. Wait, what? shakes head

Powerlord

Huh, so I need to play through Braid again at some point?

I should play through the PC version this time... played through the 360 version last time.

Wipqozn

@Powerlord yeah you do

Grace Note

2:30 PM

@Manaಠдಠ Unless you think he came from our future into their past, then no.

(That said, the name probably came from their localization of Recettear)

Arda Xi

@Powerlord Hmm, no real difference as far as I know, and platformers are easier with a gamepad anyway.

Grace Note

Originally, in Chantelise, he was... Johnny Ji-Jo!

Mana ಠдಠ

Hey @Patrick. How's it going?

Arda Xi

Hmm, we don't really need `this syntax` in this chatroom, do we?

Mana ಠдಠ

@Grace Also, having magic gems be the EXP thing was very confusing at first. I picked them up and was all like "okay, how do I cast a spell now?"

Grace Note

2:33 PM

It's useful sometimes.

@Manaಠдಠ Yeah, that's what using what is probably the same engine does to you.

Arda Xi

@GraceNote Well, with some Javascript magic, it can be used as a spoiler tag.

Grace Note

@ArdaXi Then we'd need Greasemonkey for everyone who comes in here.

Arda Xi

Let me think.

Grace Note

JavaScript works better

Mana ಠдಠ

Whoops. Lazily scrolled through my inventory, assumed I didn't have any food, told an old man begging me for food that I didn't have any...find hordes of food on the next inventory page...:x

FallenAngelEyes

2:37 PM

lol

Arda Xi

@GraceNote It's a simple CSS change, really, but other than gaining access to the SE server, Javascript is the only way to modify CSS easily.

badp

Spoilers for everybody! A dime a dozen.

Grace Note

I'd say "Propose it on Meta" but I know what your response will be.

Arda Xi

@GraceNote I know what their response would be. They'd have to invent new mark-up, modify their Markdown code.

Grace Note

@ArdaXi Coincidentally, that's what they said about spoiler markdown in the first place. We saw where that went.

Arda Xi

2:41 PM

@GraceNote It's bound to be more work for chat than for the main sites.

Grace Note

Quite

Arda Xi

That was easy.

Of course I keep a skeleton file like this around for when I need to turn CSS into a Greasemonkey script.

FallenAngelEyes

I'd settle for having stuff in spoilers in questions stay behind spoilers in the feed.

user30

@ArdaXi most pointless use of minification ever?

Arda Xi

@ThomasMcDonald Nah, that'd be when I minified Hello World to only a few bytes.

Powerlord

2:50 PM

Oh weird, my chat "rejoin all favorites" button is missing.

@Powerlord It is?

@GraceNote Yeah.

No idea where it wandered off to.

Arda Xi

Feel free to fill in whatever (name) you like.

user30

2:51 PM

@ArdaXi Arda

FallenAngelEyes

@Powerlord That's been happening to me on and off too

er

user30

If you've been in any other rooms and left them while you've been in here

Arda Xi

@ThomasMcDonald That was so predictable.

Powerlord

@ArdaXi OK, I know the bacon joke is getting old, but you don't need to complain about it. :O

user30

I don't think it reappears

Grace Note

2:52 PM

@Powerlord Hm. So it's not on your favorite rooms list. That's odd.

Arda Xi

@Powerlord Hmm, we don't really need bacon in this chatroom, do we?

Grace Note

@FallenAngelEyes How long has this been happening, if you think of it?

FallenAngelEyes

@GraceNote About... a weekish maybe? I thought it was just my browser being silly so I didn't mention anything.

I've been having to go to "All Rooms" then click on my starred ones individually to get them to show up in the little side thing.

Powerlord

I actually meant the button that's usually above the "other rooms you're in" list.

I still see rejoin all on the All Rooms, Favorites tab.

Grace Note

@Powerlord I didn't actually know it was there. Funky.

Oh, here we go, answer from HedgeMage yay!

> If you are already joined to >1 room you don't get the button any more... you have to go to your favorites tab under "all rooms" to find it.

FallenAngelEyes

2:57 PM

@Powerlord I didn't know that was there either

@GraceNote ...that sucks.

It's handy because I'm in more than one room >:(

Powerlord

@GraceNote Figures... it's because I joined Spoilers earlier.

Mana ಠдಠ

@Arda You're going to love this one.

> For linebreak add 2 Dead Space 2s at end

user30

Oh, that's what I said. ><

Wipqozn

@GraceNote has adding spoiler text to chat been discussed before?

Grace Note

@Wipqozn On and off.

@ThomasMcDonald So it is. Nice catch!

Arda Xi

2:58 PM

2 hours ago, by Arda Xi

Well, yet another policy I cannot begin to understand. Another day at SE.

user30

@GraceNote It's something that I always have an issue with

user30

I end up leaving other rooms & refreshing the sole one I'm left in just so I get the button back.
