@StrixVaria what the hell
I'm pretty sure I left my DS on the plane because I was in a lot of pain from flying (my ears are super sensitive to pressure) and then my parents tried to get the airport to look for it, but they didn't find it. =[
So somebody picked it up.
On a related note I lost my bus card.
It's probably in a pocket of some pants, but I can't fucken find it.
Hasn't been used since I used it last, but I have no idea where I put it.
@StrixVaria Holy Hair!
02:27
What is going on here?
There is some theocratic police here censoring content that 99% of the people are perfectly fine with?
Luckily, I was away anyway.
But this is a serious problem, fanatical censorship.

Q: Are you serious? What sort of shyte patent is this?

I claim YOUAre you serious? What sort of shyte patent is this?

lol
Which chatroom? And when?
Here.
I think I posted that yesterday.
We've been having someone flagging all instances of the word "fuck" lately.
(yeah I said it. Come at me bro)
@Cerberus people flag things for all kinds of dumb reasons, and people confirm reflexively if there's profanity in it.
02:30
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's fucking stupid.
Responding to the ridiculous flag requests I got for the word "fuck", I posted that. Then I got suspended for it a day later, even though it was starred by more than a few people?
@LessPop_MoreFizz There is something wrong with SE.
In general
@Unionhawk Exactly!
2 hours ago, by badp
This room is okay with the f-bomb, but not with "retards"
Which is a thing I'm okay with
@GnomeSlice Haha, I agree, it is fucking broken.
02:31
The chat flagging system is awful. Also, I support @badp on that count.
I got bopped for a 5 day old message yesterday.
I agree.
Horrible.
Stupid puritanism.
There's a fundamental difference between being profane at someone, and being profane in general.
Exactly what I always say!
And especially in chat, that difference is important.
02:32
If I tell you, hey, Unionhawk, what you said was stupid, fuck you—now that is insulting.
Exactly. That's the difference.
And it would be rightfully flagged in the correct context.
If you can be rude to somebody without being profane, you're okay.
I fucking hate that.
But not when it was used as an example, or ironically, as here.
I fucking hate that too!
It'll probably still get flagged.
02:33
I fucking hate it as well!
(hi guys)
@Unionhawk Nope.
Hi!
I am glad there is a communis opinio among reasonable people.
@GnomeSlice I got flagged for "why the fuck is my window open".
Oh, thought you were referring to my message about rudeness.
Posted 5 days before the day of flagging.
02:35
That's so stupid!
I hate it when people say rude shit to me and the only thing I can do is curse at them and subsequently get banned.
Oh, no, I meant the instance of ironic usage of wordings
er, whatever
words
Yeah.
words words words
People just can't tell the difference between the f-word used correctly and incorrectly (to insult etc; as a curse.)
02:36
@Cerberus I've been suspended for 'yeah that guy is a jerk' when it was somebody impersonating me, talking about themselves.
numbers numbers numbers business business business
People with defective minds cannot understand the difference between contexts.
@GnomeSlice Haha that is funny.
Sep 5 '13 at 19:32, by Jason Berkan
@Wipqozn Science confirms that people don't like @GnomeSlice.
I got suspended once (by outsiders, as always) for saying "Iphones are gay". And I am gay, not that it should matter.
@GnomeSlice Hooray for science!
02:37
@Cerberus to be fair, you'd get suspended in here for that too
That is so gay!
inb4 flags (you'd deserve it imo)
So silly.
Yeah, no I will always flag 'gay' as a pejorative, sorry.
We would never flag anyone in ELU for that reason.
Context.
Language does not exist outside context.
3
02:39
It's kind of like what @badp said above, it's one of those words that kind of needs to not be a thing used in that sort of way.
Why not?
I've just been clubbing with my gay friends and my gay lover. I'm still drunk.
And if I use the word gay, who cares?
Also, I eagerly await you all eating random half hour bans tomorrow when whoever our mystery flagger is runs a search and flags all of these messages and they get reflexively confirmed because that is what happens.
@Cerberus I agree with "why not?", but I can see why some people might be against it.
some people are more uptight about things than others and that's just how it is (don't mean it in a bad way)
Don't children use these sites (chat; if they know how to)?
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm sure that will happen. Luckily, I will be in the country tomorrow, so let them ban me muwaha!
02:40
@Cerberus these are fine places to use the word 'gay'. But using the word gay as a synonym for (dumb, lame, stupid, terrible, thing I don't like, etc.) is really problematic.
@Chippies Uptightness is bad. It is bad for society. It creates a climate of intolerance.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Nothing is problematic without context. It makes no sense to judge anything outside context.
But I am still drunk from the gay bar I was at 10 minutes ago, so don't listen to me.
language without context is arbitrary
I, personally, think there are no bad words, there's just words used badly
but I also understand that this way of thinking is a minority
@Chippies Exactly!
@Chippies Only on SE...
@LessPop_MoreFizz Can't you tell who it is?
@Cerberus Idk, I don't have data on such things :P
02:44
@Chippies yes. And 'gay' when used to mean a thing other than homosexual or as an archaic reference to happiness is a word used badly.
Also despite the fact that I'm like the only one who hasn't been flagged I promise it's not me.
@LessPop_MoreFizz It's irony.
@GnomeSlice only if I see the flag as its cast, not after the fact. It's horrible.
We are adults.
@LessPop_MoreFizz language evolves, it used to have one meaning, now it has another meaning, and it's getting other meanings again
02:45
@Chippies Wel, there is a certain issue about a certain continent that I shan't explicate.
I understand how it can have bad implications on gay people if we use the word "gay" for things that we don't like
Only in the wrong context.
Gay people use "gay".
@Cerberus as we've estabilished earlier, people are dumb as fuck and don't understand context
Haha that I can agree with.
and when they don't understand context, they can take you literally
02:46
NC's Amendment One was struck down today.
@Chippies and some of those meanings should be resisted and disapproved of, as they are inherently offensive similarly, if you use the word 'jew' to mean anything other than 'person of Jewish descent' (I.e. To mean 'cheap'), I am going to have, at a minimum, very harsh words for you
Ordinary people shouldn't be given the right to censor others...
and those people will think that the word "gay" is actually something bad, thus gay people are also bad
And in meatspace, more likely a fist for your jaw.
@LessPop_MoreFizz that seems a bit unnecessary
02:47
You talk in jest...
I would rather mockingly propagate bigotry than violence.
@Cerberus you say this as though the former does not beget the latter.
It does not.
a word can mean one thing in one company and something else in another
@OrigamiRobot congratulations! Who will you be gay marrying, as is now required by law?
@LessPop_MoreFizz Another robot, obviously.
02:49
Yay!
@OrigamiRobot is that legal now? Robot marriage? What is this world coming to...
I need "what the fuck is going on right now" Link back. What.
There is a serious problem with out time. It is intolerance, and one symptom is political correctness.
Unfortunately, here on the internet in text based chat, context is as difficult to determine as sarcasm. short of you telling us (which you did) there is no way for us to determine if you are using the word as a negative or positive. And with out that context we assume the default, which is (unfortunately), that the thing being described as 'gay', is negative.
02:51
Sep 16 at 22:08, by Jason Berkan
I like video games. They are fun.
@TrentHawkins negative or not it's not referring to the homosexual people
@TrentHawkins The default ought to be tolerance, not censorship. That is the problem.
a word can have different meanings and using the word "gay" for things that are lame seems to be a pretty popular meaning from what I see
I want to live in a democracy, but I never want to be offended again!
@Chippies Right, and this kind of meaning is something that needs to go away.
2
02:54
@Chippies The problem is, that definition evolved almost entirely out of equating homosexuality with something bad.
@Unionhawk maybe, I am not one to judge
And for once in my life, I'm taking the LessPop approach and say that if you disagree, then you're not paying attention to the situation.
@Yuuki funny though, since gay used to mean happy
@Unionhawk I don't disagree with either side
Fair enough
right now I just took the side with less people on it for balance :P
02:56
"For the sake of argument"? :P
in an ideal world, it shouldn't matter what words we use
@Chippies Doesn't mean you're any less wrong. </joking>
but I realize we do not live in a perfect world
Can I still say 'fuct'
@GnomeSlice Yes.
02:57
@GnomeSlice Haha, very appropriate indeed. "So you're offended. Nothing happens. Deal with it."
At least, I, and the room in general, doesn't give a shit.
grammar words
So... Hyrule Warriors.
@Unionhawk for the sake of having a civilized discussion :P
So, video games
More relevance
02:58
Oh crap
Um
I think I'm going to dive a bit into Adventure Mode now that I've unlocked Ganondorf's arc.
Guys I thought about the invisible turtle again
@Unionhawk so what's new in video games?
@Chippies I don't know where you live, but where I live you wouldn't be censored for saying something is gay as in stupid. And we were the first to institute gay marriage.
@Cerberus censored probably not, but there would certainly be some people that would at the very least look at you funny
02:59
Yay. Witnessed a hit and run collission on my way home today.
assuming you said it loud enough for everyone to hear :P
There is no necessity at all for censorship. It is just acquiescing to a certain status quo that is completely arbitrary and not at all required for a decent society. It's fear.
@Chippies Haha, whispering is always wiser when you're gossiping...
I... no. There's a difference between censorship and banning people for being mean to other people/groups of people.
> the age of political correctness which is actually intellectual colonialism and psychological fascism for the creation of thought crime
<did you hear about Chippies's recent addiction to Angry Birds, oh la la...>
03:01
I love Steve Hughes
@Unionhawk Being mean to people, certainly, that is bad.
God dammit, I'm leaving, and when I come back, the screen had better be filled with clicker heroes
GET ON IT @CHIPPIES
Being mean to a group, you'll have to prove that.
@GnomeSlice +1!
@Unionhawk I suppose I could level some heroes up...
Haha bye!
03:02
He's great
nsfw language warning I guess
You know this is starting to turn into an echo chamber right?
@Yuuki I don't know what that means, but I love Steve Hughes
more nsfw language
Kinda joining the conversation late here, but tolerance happens when people get to know you better. I don't think I've seen you around here a lot, so you just starting to use charged words as perjoratives comes off as wrong.
YOU HAVE DISAPPOINTED ME, BRIDGE, but at least it's derailed. So that's something.
... Why is Impa my least played character?
03:10
@Unionhawk derailed? I hardly knew 'er!
I usually like characters with giant frickin' weapons...
@Frank @Cerberus
Note to self: always kill at least 1000 enemies in Adventure Mode.

kingbluesapphirei have a triangle.gs free server, i logged on then after a little it says Internal Exception: java.io.IOException: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host the consul doesnt say anything not even (my username) left the game. can somene please help me

03:15
@GnomeSlice DERAILED
@Unionhawk ?
Just wanted to make sure he saw the message directed at him.
@fredley clearly I deserve a medal for this
@Yuuki what game?
@Chippies Hyrule Warriors.
@Yuuki ah
03:20
@Unionhawk hahaha poor kitty and poor fishy
Robot wants kitty
Robot wants fishy
@Frank Anyone who often comes to this room should have understood my quip on the recent mass-flagging of fuck that everyone disagreed with.
And they did: I got several stars.
And then some random stranger got to ban me from chat.
cc @Sterno @StrixVaria
03:24
GODDAMMIT I THOUGHT WE WERE DERAILED
THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT @CHIPPIES
@Cerberus You do know that flags are network-wide, right? So getting chatbanned does not necessarily mean that someone on the Bridge voted to chatban you.
@Unionhawk YOU KEEP AFK'ING, K! YOUR FAULT!
@Yuuki Absolutely, I am quite sure it wasn't someone from the Bridge.
The same happens on ELU: some idiot from a different site who doesn't know the context bans our favourite users.
Not that there's anything wrong with that other site per se.
The Bridge is more than aware that flags are broken.
Yes, that was my impression.
I am mostly preaching to the choir.
Which is my favourite kind of sermon.

MARRIAGE EQUALITY HAS REACHED NC TODAY
TODAY IS BEST DAY
Yay, second row of hearts on Link!
Well, now I feel like an ass for celebrating that after @spugsley's declaration of marriage equality.
@GnomeSlice Hilarious clip!
I am just so happy :) And now I have a beautiful wedding to shoot on November 23rd <333
Congratulations!
I could have married a bloke when I turned 18 here...
@spugsley Yay
03:46
@Ktash :3 It's such a good day
That's great :D
Well, now my eternal question of how "Gerudo" is pronounced has finally been answered.
I also went hiking :D
and geocaching
@Yuuki Soft G? As in Gerald?
Super fun!
That's like regular fun but with super powers
03:48
@Unionhawk Guh-ruu-doh.
@Yuuki You didn't know this? Also, how did that change today?
@Ktash Hyrule Warriors voiceover/narration.
Ahh, I see
All the Zelda games I've played before had no voice acting.
And I never felt like looking online as to how it was pronounced.
... Ganondorf shooting Light Arrows just feels wrong.
03:51
Yep. That's incorrect.
100% @Uni certified organic incorrect
Not just that it feels wrong it actually is wrong
The more I hear about hyrule warriors the less I want it.
Dammit Nintendo
@Unionhawk It's fun though.
But as with every game, not everyone's cup of tea.
It's a good move on Koei's part since the Dynasty Warriors fanbase is somewhat insular.
This way, they might get some new blood.
The level 3 ball and chain is a fucking chainchomp, in case you needed to be told how seriously this game was taken.
@Unionhawk I kinda expected this once I unlocked the Gauntlets.
I mean, "ball and chain" in any Nintendo game is going to eventually reference chainchomps.
Like, no. I refuse to accept a Link who wields chainchomps.
It's like getting mad at the sun rising in the east.
03:54
Or a Ganondorf who wields light arrows
Ball and chain + Nintendo = chainchomp in every and all cases.
@Unionhawk Well, you could just not use the Bow or pick up Bow powerups in that case.
@Yuuki It equaled a pretty cool weapon in TP. Hell, the any% and I think no s+q speedrun routes go out of their way to get it.
I mean, I barely use the items anyway unless it's required (Deku Babas, blowing up boulders, etc.)
It wrecks things in that game.
I dunno. Zelda to me is an adventure-related game. Pure hack and slash action seems wrong to me, and a ruination of my childhood.
Hooooooooooooooly crap I think kittens is starting to take up way too much memory
Sitting at 7 GB/8
That dropoff is the moment I closed Chrome.
HOLY HELL THIS BASEBALL GAME.
04:02
Yeah, chrome does that
@Unionhawk Do you like modern bulky, built-like-a-truck Ganondorf or Ocarina of Time Ganondorf?
Also, Ganondorf holding up a Heart Container/Piece of Heart is just hilarious and something you have to see.
DOUBLE PLAY.
Holy shit. This game.
BASEBALL IS BEST SPORT.
@Yuuki I'm not a huge fan of OOT Ganondorf. I'm personally partial to Ganon from Wind Waker. But that's just my childhood speaking.
@Unionhawk Ah. Hyrule Warriors Ganondorf seems to be a sort of "in-between" the two.
shrug
04:09
Also, he kicks the chests open.
He is the holder of the Triforce of Power. He should look at least mostly intimidating.
@Yuuki That seems about right.
@Unionhawk I think his look in OoT more emphasized his intelligence by way of not making him look like dumb muscle.
True. He does also have his final form at the end
I dunno. I never played through OoT. I probably should.
I kept getting stuck in the goddamn whale.
@Unionhawk You're gonna hate water levels by the time you're through with OoT.
Actually, wait, I think I did open the door of time on my latest playthrough.
04:13
@Unionhawk So glad they got rid of them in 4.
In... 4?
@Unionhawk Monster Hunter.
Underwater battles were introduced in 3, they were kinda fun but really really annoying.
Was going to say, "Zelda 4?"
As in Zelda II squared?
Oh god
That sounds like the worst possible experience one could have.
04:16
There is a new KH trailer out, but it has lots of spoilers from BBS in it...

All of them?
This may take a while, let's see... Aardvark... abacus... abandons...
Yeah no screw that
04:27
@Unionhawk I'm a bit late here, but chain chomps are totally a thing in Zelda.
@Unionhawk So who's your favorite LoZ character?
I dunno why, but I always liked Sheik (yes, I know she's Zelda).
Now... I might give you that technically anything in Awakening doesn't necessarily exist, per se. But they also have appearances in the SNES game, and the Four Swords games.
04:33
It appears in ALttP
And Four Swords and FSA
GO ROYALS. BASEBALL IS THE BEST.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Now I'm reading all of these to the tune of SPORTS GO SPORTS...
@Yuuki Hrm... I've always been partial to Wind Waker in case that hasn't become blatantly obvious, and Tetra has always been a cool character to me, since she's Zelda, but a pirate
04:38
@Unionhawk So technically we like the same character (Zelda not being Zelda, or rather Zelda not being a princess).
Sheik is basically Zelda, but a ninja.
Well, not the same "Zelda" it's complicated really
:P
@Unionhawk Well yeah, time passed, reincarnations, destiny, and whatnot.
