@TimStone This is the highlight of my day.

A: Profile Page Makeover, Part 3: the Prototype returns

fredleyWell, if @Oded won't do it: // ==UserScript== // @name Badge Popups // @description YAY BADGES // @version 1.0 // @include http://meta.stackexchange.com/users/*?tt=profile // @include https://meta.stackexchange.com/users/*?tt=profile // @run-at document-end // ==/UserScript== var init = funct...

Fun Fact: Sometimes I use the upload button instead of just pasting the link because I don't know whether or not I should be ashamed of the original URL.
@OrigamiRobot And if it gets starred, then your crappy URL will be immortalized.
17:02
@OrigamiRobot You're... not linking images from pornempire.xxx or something are you?
My worst nightmare!
@Powerlord Or 9gag?!
@OrigamiRobot I usually use upload so that the image isn't tied to some external server that may go down whenever.
@Powerlord No, that's @DwarfSlice.
Also, @DwarfSlice, I want to make a plea on behalf of all Bridge members: Please change your name back to @GnomeSlice. I miss @GnomeSlice.
@StrixVaria That's another reason.
17:03
Yay, just got a new Staff Announcements email from my boss's boss's boss. He's still my boss's boss's boss, but my boss's boss has changed.
I want to make a million sockpuppets just so I can star that more

Q: Far Cry 4 emblem meaning?

JoeWhat is the emblem in the top right corner of the screen next to the rupees when you're looking at the map? I've looked all over and can't find it but I have noticed that it changes frequently.

Q: Between Pokemon X/Y/ORAS, can the pokedex be completed?

OrpheusIf I were to have all four games, could the pokedex be completed? Excluding the event mons, of course.

@OrigamiRobot If @DwarfSlice doesn't change his name back then we should all delete our accounts.
Hmm, since my group is being moved under eMichigan now, I wonder if we'll be required to move to a different floor.
GnomeSlice is also much more clever. DwarfSlice just sounds violent.
17:10
@TimStone wat
@Unionhawk That reminds me, I have to call Verizon and cancel my TV.
@Unionhawk I watched TV yesterday and there was no Honda commercial during it.
@StrixVaria I didn't bother getting cable when I moved out and I don't regret it at all.
Netflix is so much better than cable.
@Powerlord Well clearly you are a liar.
17:13
@Wipqozn The only thing I could ever need TV for is live sports, and I don't watch live sports anymore.
@Wipqozn But SPORTSBALL!!!!one!!!11!!!
I can't even imagine paying for cable anymore. You're paying more money for an inferior ad-based service.
I used to watch hockey.
I watch football and my wife watches curling. That's the only reason we still have a satellite receiver.
@Wipqozn I don't even have that. I just use certain search terms like "free" and "online"
17:15
@OrigamiRobot I do that too, but I prefer netflix if I can since I'm too lazy to hook my laptop up to my tv.
@JasonBerkan Part of this sentence oozes Canadian.
And I prefer watching things in the living room instead of my bedroom
@OrigamiRobot free online internet TV!
@OrigamiRobot Is it the part about watching football?
@OrigamiRobot "wife"? "satellite receiver"?
17:16
I barely even use my TV. I just watch on my monitor.
Actually, I watch curling as well, but not as much as my wife.
I didn't even know curling was televised outside of the winter olympics
glares at git
The only things I know about curling are it's on ice and it looks ridiculous.
@Sconibulus Curling is massively huge in Canada. The top teams have sponsors; the championships get more viewers than almost anything else on TSN.
17:18
Holy shit the wait time to talk to someone at Verizon is over an hour.
They have this feature where supposedly I don't have to stay on the line to stay in the queue; they'll call me when it's my turn.
Yes, I removed those files from my newest branch. No, I didn't delete those files from disk. Yes, I still want them there. No, I don't appreciate you complaining about them being overwritten if I switch branches since they're the same file
We'll see.
@StrixVaria I am so thankful that Nova Scotia ISPs are so not shit.
Like we're not great, but Nova Scotia actually has some of the best internet in NA as far as I can tell
I honestly have no idea why. I think it has to do with eastlink, who is a local company not owned by the big three.
@Wipqozn Don't you have bandwidth caps though?
@OrigamiRobot Not in Nova Scotia
I've never had to deal with bandwidth caps
17:24
Next thing that doesn't exist but should: A cap that says 'Bandwidth' on it
Man, I should really consider moving in with @Wipqozn
Oops, it's 12:30.
I should probably think about what I want for lunch...
Sadly, all options involve driving.
Oh right, eating.
@OrigamiRobot order delivery to your workplace

Q: Why overbounce bug occurs?

Dariusz WozniakOverbounce is a well-known technique which exploits one of the Quake III Arena's bug. From DeFRaG (one of the Q3 mod) description, definition of overbounce is: An overbounce occurs when a player is falling, hits the ground (a floor, not a slope), and bounces back up to the players original ...

17:36
@TimStone I wasn't even hungry until I realized it was lunch time.
Sports are so awesome. You can hate someone simply because of what clothes they wear and no one finds it odd.
@JasonBerkan Except me.
And presumably other people not into sports.
So really, sports is a cult.
@JasonBerkan The same thing happens at Blizzcon if you wear the Alliance emblem in any way.
@OrigamiRobot Heh. I have a picture on Facebook of myself and two of my kids wearing matching jerseys. One of the comments is "brainwashing or cult"?

Pastafarianism

Proposed Q&A site for anyone with questions about the Flying Spaghetti Monster or the religion based around him.

Currently in commitment.

I forgot that this was a thing.
17:41
Map of the US with every county's favorite football team.
Also TIL Area 51 has a site room:

 Area 51

General discussion for area51.meta.stackexchange.com
I'm tempted to rename it Area 52
@TimStone You go girl
@Koviko The best part is that the Jets don't appear at all, anywhere.
WHY CAN'T I DECIDE WHAT TO EAT
17:48
@OrigamiRobot wtfsigte.com
Also Sushi
@Wipqozn Ninja!
@StrixVaria I see a lone jet green area in florida... if that makes any sense
@Rapitor Pretty sure I see what you're talking about, and that it's just still Dolphins.
@Wipqozn This just loops between the same 5 places.
17:50
@OrigamiRobot I find it often does the same.
Point is, get sushi
No, sushi is terrible.
The worst thing about that website is I'm lazy and have no car, so if it's outside walking radius, I don't go
And it suggests places way over there, like 15 minute walk
You can't see it, but I'm pointing to those places
@Wipqozn Sushi is the answer but also requires effort so :(
Places that sell sushi also sell tempura
I don't know why you'd go for sushi over tempura
Tight-clicking is best clicking. Thanks, Microsoft!
17:53
@Sterno Click it real hard.
@badp You could get tempura sushi if you really wanted.
"WHY NOT GO TO <place way over there>"
NO TOO FAR
@OrigamiRobot when all else fails just go to mcdonalds and cry into your big mac.
"OKAY, HOW ABOUT THIS PLACE NEXT DOOR TO THAT OTHER PLACE?"
I have never eaten a Big Mac
17:54
@TimStone Has science gone too far?
you should experience it.
McDonalds hambugers are terrible.
@OrigamiRobot Same.
@Rapitor Should he?
yes they are
17:55
@OrigamiRobot I have. It's not terrible. It's not great.
I like the Jalapeno Double McDonalds has now.
I never would because I don't like the things that made a Big Mac a Big Mac.
@Unionhawk I think everyone should experience the misery of mcdonalds at least once in their life... gives em perspective and builds character
I'd choose that over starving, at any rate, and there isn't a lot of choice when you have to lunch at 10am.
My hamburgers consist of 3 things: Bread, meat, lettuce.
17:56
No cheese? Or do you separate hamburgers and cheeseburgers?
The latter.
I wouldn't ever eat a hamburger if a cheeseburger is an option.
I bet he'd charge cheeseburger prices to the asshat who orders a cheeseburger hold cheese
Though I'd do it
For cheeseburgers, no lettuce. Add bacon if able.
@StrixVaria I hate american cheese unless it's a grilled cheese sandwich.
OK, hate is a strong word.
17:57
@OrigamiRobot American cheese is meh. I don't dislike it, but it doesn't add anything unless it's melted.
Yes that
American cheese is best (only) served melted
In its inert form, it's terrible.
I strongly dislike it, but I will still eat the burger if they put it on.
But that's more because I really don't like sending things back.
Swiss and mozzarella are both really good choices for burgers.

Q: Sim City 5 Layout Grid

JohnIn Sim City Classic commercial, industry and residential zones were 3x3 units. Regardless of your road layout as long as it is a grid there were always six units of space between roads. Sim City 5 sorely lacks a grid outline which makes it extremely difficult to determine the maximum size two fu...

17:59
@StrixVaria Cheddar
@OrigamiRobot I'm not a huge fan of cheddar cheese.
I don't even know who you are.
Although cheddar, like American, improves tremendously when it melts.
Cheddar is the best cheese.
The sharper the better.
cheddar is a bit too overpowering for a burger
18:00
I find all cheeses to be overpowering.
A pizza with mixed mozzarella and cheddar melted is really good.
It tastes really different from a normal pizza.
i really only like cheddar with tacos.
With "all" meaning "in "90% of situations I've experienced."
I eat cheddar as a snack.
@JasonBerkan I can't just eat cheddar alone; it's too sharp.
18:02
1 min ago, by Origami Robot
The sharper the better.
If you add crackers and pepperoni, then I can deal with it, although I'd prefer provolone or something.
@StrixVaria It is, but that's what I like.
@StrixVaria Mmm, provolone
If I'm going to eat a piece of cheese alone as a snack, fresh mozzarella is the way to go.
Ugh, that is the opposite of what I want.
18:03
Mozza I really prefer melted. The stringiness is what sells it.
Well, actually I don't think I've ever had fresh mozzarella.
But I'll take any cheese at any time.
So I'm not going to make that call.
@OrigamiRobot It's completely different than if you get it in like the lunch meat section or shredded.
Yea, that's what my mind jumped to and I spoke before I thought about it.
String cheese... shiver
18:04
It's worth trying, but it's like the opposite of cheddar cheese.
fresh mozz is the best
It's like anti cheddar, really
Oh look, it's 1:05 and I still haven't eaten.
And now I'm so hungry.
I can't imagine how hungry @TimStone must be.
we haven't posted any pictures, be thankful for that
I really just want a peanut butter sandwich.
18:06
just peanut butter?
Yes. Jelly can die in a fire.
well then
@OrigamiRobot I just made a sandwich, I won't starve this fine day.
@OrigamiRobot I'm not allt hat fond of jelly either.
Things that can go on a peanut butter sandwich: Banana, Marshmallow Cream, Potato Chips
Not all at once. I'm not @Yuuki
18:08
There's a joke about jam being my jam here, but I refuse to make it, for the sake of everyone. You're welcome.
I've narrowed it down to Jersey Mikes or Wendys
by not making it, you made it. you should feel bad
I like peanut butter and jelly separately, but together it's disgusting.
@OrigamiRobot Wendy's
@OrigamiRobot definitely wendy's
18:10
And if you pick the other to spite me, I will literally not care
@Rapitor Why definitely?
You should get a sub and put chips on it.
@StrixVaria Well now I'm wondering why I never did this before.
Despite the cost, out perhaps because if it (which I'm expensing), that was a good lunch.
@OrigamiRobot I always do this to subs. It's so good.
18:12
It sounds good. I am so angry with myself right now.
I guess that settles it. Sorry @Unionhawk
Oh, I might even have enough points for a free sub.
And if that's the case, I wonder if I can use my free chips/drink coupon to get the entire thing for free.
There. All equipment except for a video card and power bar ordered for my new setup.
What is a power bar?
Is it the same as a power strip?
@OrigamiRobot Most likely.
@OrigamiRobot Probably.
18:15
@Frank get a UPS.
Power bar
@MBraedley Why?
Fuck you, GIS.
6 mins ago, by Unionhawk
And if you pick the other to spite me, I will literally not care
@Frank it'll pay for itself when the power goes out
@MBraedley The few times I've lost power, my computer's been none the worse for wear.
18:18
@Frank While my unfamiliarity with the term makes it sound hilariously wrong to me, I acknowledge that this is an acceptable term.
Oh, wait. No power bar required. I have lots of those six plug thingies I can use.
Then, just video card.
@Frank Please tell me you don't mean this:
I think he means that
@OrigamiRobot That's exactly what I mean.
Oh god.
I need to go lie down.
18:20
RIP @OrigamiRobot
RIP in peace.
US plugs look so funny.
D: D: D:
D: D: D:
Your face looks so funny
More like RIP @Frank's computer.
@OrigamiRobot Why?
18:21
@OrigamiRobot Right?
@Unionhawk Not as much. I can only feature one D:
I'm honestly curious; why would that be bad for my computer?
but that looks like a whole army of people appalled with you
No surge protection.
Why would you buy 6 surge protectors?
(Also does surge protection really does anything at all?)

Q: Auction Addon to show only 1 item from a seller

Sartheris StormhammerI am looking for something that will make the auction more clean looking, here is what I want: - Some seller has posted 100 stacks of just 1 item, for example Savage Blood, and they are all similar (same seller, same price, same time). Now I want to see only 1 item in the Auction House for that i...

(If it's bad enough to fry your computer it's probably bad enough to fry the surge protection)
Surge protection is obviously a conspiracy
@OrigamiRobot Chances are extremely good my crappy ass breaker box will go long before it hits my computer.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no
I mean in case of a voltage spike the breaker for the whole house is shut down.
18:24
breakers take time to trip.
What? You mean electricity isn't instantaneous and all this ideal modeling is a lie?
IS MY ENTIRE LIFE A LIE
@Unionhawk No, it's just that if you want something faster, it's expensive.
Relays can be near instantaneous.
Oh good, my entire life is not a lie \o/ just most of it
@badp The assumption is that a surge protector is cheaper than the computer.
@MBraedley Natural gamer assumption.
If I can't play games on it, is it REALLY a computer?
18:28
If you can get a computer for less than like, $50, call me I want in. Actually no I don't.
($50 being an "expensive you need this right? Yes! We said you need it so you do!" surge protector)
surge protection hahah
that stuff is funny
basically the surge protectors you buy most places do one thing
they are an insurance thing upto some value, which you've taken out with the company providing the protector
if something fries, you contact them and claim.
Castle Crashers is $1.50 on Steam today; if you don't have it, go get it because it's great
@Batophobia is it any good at all in single player?
Don't modern PSU's come with surge protection?
@badp yes
18:43
@Batophobia seriously?
Dammit @Unionhawk why aren't you on steam!
@Chippies that what I assume.
@badp absolutely, its where I've spent most of my play time
Because I just started my computer up and I still don't have it set to go on startup
I mean, people kinda say the same about risk of rain and risk of rain singleplayer is... not good
18:44
Because... reasons
@Batophobia have there been any updates that fix the issue where you get exp per hit, thus making high damage builds literally cripple yourself?
80% off Planetary Annihilation.
Which would be good...if there was actually something decent there.
@badp Risk of Rain singleplayer is just as good as multiplayer, just kinda harder
@Chippies ehhh
also, afaik, Castle Crashers is a major grindfest and it's not fun in single player
18:45
having to chase all stragglers yourself before you can leave the level is not my idea of fun
half the game you'll spend running the same level so you can get strong enough to beat a level
especially when you're punished for taking your time
@badp it's mostly fun after you get to 4-5th zone and have enough items to keep yourself alive forever
I usually either wipe in 2nd-3rd stage or last for hour+
but usually I just wipe
I know I had a lot of trouble killing anything in stage 2.
@Chippies I had a great time in single player. Wasn't grind-y at all
18:47
@Batophobia last I played it, there were some stages that were ridiculously hard and if you had high str build, you pretty much shot yourself in foot in terms of leveling up
because exp is per hit, not per kill and that's really dumb
@Chippies Never noticed this, but I usually put points in magic first so I could get the new abilities
I spent hours grinding that one orc boss with 1 strength and all my future characters were high def/magic and no str
which eventually cripples you, because magic isn't always that great and you have to punch stuff
I really just think if they changed it to be exp per kill, the game would be much better
@Chippies Yea, but it never got to the point of needing to grind for levels or anything
@Chippies Did you notice this on the Steam version, because I can't say I've ever noticed it
18:49
@Batophobia Idk if there have been updates since I played it (pretty much when it was released on PC), or if you're really THAT good at the game, but I had trouble with some levels
@Batophobia I have not actually played steam version
when I played it, it was a pirated version forever and ever ago and the grindiness has kept me from buying it on steam, no matter how cheap it goes
The only thing I noticed that makes multiplayer better is that you auto-use potions in multiplayer
I played with my wife on same computer
and multiplayer is easier than single, afaik
enemies don't seem to get stronger in multiplayer
@Chippies Multiplayer is definitely easier
@badp So, to clarify: the suspects encrypted their phones and they want to force apple to decrypt it?
18:54
@Koviko I think that, more realistically, they're telling Apple that, if they know of any exploit or weakness in the way the device is secured, they must exploit it
> "The government is aware, and can represent, that in other cases, courts have ordered the unlocking of an iPhone under this authority," he wrote. "Additionally, Apple has routinely complied with such orders."
so basically, this isn't the first time
so not really news
It's news if they forgot to report on it the last time. Just because it's old news doesn't make it not news.
Apparently this is the first time that the order is not made under seal? I dunno.
I like this part
> "The government obtained a warrant on October 10 for a phone already in its possession"
Something seems out of order there
@Batophobia They had the phone in their possession, but had to get a warrant to access the data on it
18:58
Huh. Polygon panned Fantasy Life.
I thought I was going to be in a bigger plane :(
