The Bridge

Wipqozn

11:08

@fredley Yeah, I couldn't do it.

My theory is that all nurses are secretly undead creatures which feed off the souls of the weak and infirm

Kevin van der Velden

11:34

@Wipqozn crap. I'm going on a holiday with one next week, how do I keep him fed?

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden Ask on Lifehacks or Health

Ben

PLease tell me people have seen Kung Fury

Kevin van der Velden

No I will not tell you lies

Wipqozn

@Arperum This is the answer to everything now.

@Ben Not yet.

I planned to watch it with two friends, but knowing them, they already watched it

Arperum

@Wipqozn Exactly.

Wipqozn

11:39

They're really bad for sying "Let's do this!", and then just doing it anyways.

It's really annoying

Ben

I'm only 5 minutes in and I'm in love

Tim Stone

@Wipqozn They may just enjoy letting you down

Kevin van der Velden

And let's all be honest here. Who doesn't enjoy letting @Wipqozn down?

Ben

Your mum

Don't worry @Wipqozn. I got your back :P

Kevin van der Velden

Smacks the meme with a rolled up newspaper

BAD MEME

GO AWAY

Arperum

11:44

passes fake rolled up newspaper made of steel "Here! Use this!"

Weird covers time go:

Russkaja - "Roar" (Original by Katy Perry)

cc @AshleyNunn This one is multiple degrees weirder.

Ben

And I'm watching a guy travel back in time using a power glove to the Viking age where the main plague was lazer raptors. But it's ok. They had automatic weaponry.

So at this current point in time, I don't think the rules really apply

Wait, no... Thor helped out. It's cool

Arperum

I have no idea what you are talking about, but it looks like you are throwing spoilers around, and certain people in this room have said they haven't watched yet. So that's not really nice.

Ben

Non-essential to the plot.

If you'd call it that

Private Pansy

@Arperum Kung Fury. You can probably spoil the entire plot and the show would not make any more sense (or be that much less enjoyable), because the plot is made out of pure nonsense

Arperum

@PrivatePansy That sounds illogical.

Ben

11:54

And that's the glory of it

Private Pansy

KUNG FURY Official Movie [HD]

Ben

Starred because it is my new fave movie

OMG Arqade movie night! @Ktash

lol

Unionhawk

Kung Fury is perpetual movie night movie

Tim Stone

Why are we awake this early? What is this nonsense?

Kevin van der Velden

It's 2 pm you weirdo

Tim Stone

12:00

Get out future man

Kevin van der Velden

Could also be past man

Tim Stone

That's just silly

Unionhawk

@TimStone You're silly

@TimStone It's Monday

That's what this nonsense is

Tim Stone

All the more reason not to be up

Unionhawk

@KevinvanderVelden YOUR FACE IS A TIME ZONE

Kevin van der Velden

12:02

@Unionhawk My face is a man-made concept?

Unionhawk

Yes

Dragons are a man-made concept

Therefore...

Kevin van der Velden

Seems legit

Unionhawk

QED

@Unionhawk 1, @HalfLife3 0 (mod abuse: still infinity)

Ben

Cool story bro. It even had dragons

Unionhawk

I wonder if I could fool people with fake mod abuse

Some people, anyway

Kevin van der Velden

12:04

@Ben And a talking boat

@Unionhawk naah, @badp isn't here yet

Unionhawk

@KevinvanderVelden You mean throwing a USER HAS BEEN BANNED FOR THIS POST won't fool certain users?

>_>

<_<

v_v

Kevin van der Velden

^_^

5pike

@Unionhawk This aint 4chan mate

Tim Stone

What's this about me needing to ban @Unionhawk?

Unionhawk

@5pike shh

Kevin van der Velden

12:06

@TimStone just look at his avatar

Unionhawk

@5pike Also, @badp has definitely used that to indicate his disapproval

5pike

@Unionhawk Don't shh me, boat

Unionhawk

So...

Tim Stone

Hmm, all this talk of mod abuse makes me wonder what happens if I put in a negative number for room timeout...

Kevin van der Velden

Integer underflow? :o

Tim Stone

12:07

Presumably nothing, but who knows what could happen!

Kevin van der Velden

Let's try it!

5pike

SCIENCE TIME

Unionhawk

inb4 bug

Kevin van der Velden

@badp has already shown us what it takes to clear it

Unionhawk

waits

Tim Stone

12:07

Nothing happened

Unionhawk

Damn, it's almost like they knew some mod some day would try something that stupid

Tim Stone

Not even an error!

5pike

How boring...

Unionhawk

They probably figured that mod would be @TimStone too

Tim Stone

Usually they forget to protect the system against us doing stupid stuff and things break horribly.

Kevin van der Velden

12:09

> Bug report: Setting a chatroom to a negative time out does nothing.

Expected behavior: All hell breaking loose, answers being replaced with yahoo answers, cats and dogs living together, @badp forgoing mod abuse.

Unionhawk

Like, uploading avatars for other users?

5pike

@TimStone They were probably thinking "Nobody can possibly be that stupid"

Unionhawk

I think that qualifies as doing stupid stuff

Tim Stone

@Unionhawk I've never tried that, that sounds like more abuse than I'm willing to dish out

Unionhawk

@TimStone It breaks things horribly and is no longer a capability

Kevin van der Velden

12:10

@5pike and/or it's just "TimeTillRoomUnfreeze = now() + seconds". => "Oh hey! The room has been unfrozen"

Q: Selecting one uploaded avatar (as a moderator) selects the other/both

I was editing a user's avatar, and clicked 'Uploaded picture' (the yellow triforce). The preview instead changed to a pink unikitten. Clicking the Change picture button again shows the following: Chrome/Mac

Tim Stone

I see

Rapitor

o/

Tim Stone

@5pike They know better than to trust me when I'm low on sleep.

5pike

@Rapitor /o

Unionhawk

12:13

\o/

UniKitty

@Unionhawk You know that strawpoll link was mod-abused right?

Unionhawk

Everything is mod abused

Mod abuse is love mod abuse is life

It's how we know that @badp still cares

UniKitty

But I'm not a mod so its not my life

Unionhawk

IF NOT FOR MOD ABUSE THEN THE BRIDGE WOULD COLLAPSE

JUST LIKE THAT

UniKitty

@Unionhawk BUT WHY

MOD ABUSE BREAKS THINGS

Unionhawk

12:15

Mod abuse finds bugs

We're just testing the system

UniKitty

Like @fredley breaking your profile

Unionhawk

IF MOD ABUSE BREAKS THINGS, THEN THE SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED

sage nod

5pike

Make the system better by abusing mod power

Unionhawk

Exactly!

UniKitty

Jun 8 at 13:58, by Kevin van der Velden

@fredley Yes! The mods are being abused! Someone think of the poor mods who are being abused by not being allowed to do their proper modabusing!

Unionhawk

12:17

To be clear, no real mod abuse has actually occurred I argue since the incident with that one user who is no longer with us

UniKitty

@Unicycle?

Unionhawk

Actually... one could make an argument about Lifehacks being full of mod abuse, but anyone who cares enough about lifehacks to make that argument should not be trusted

@UniKitty No, @GnomeSlice is still with us you fool.

I think

DID THEY ASSASSAINATE @GnomeSlice WHEN I WASN'T HERE>?

UniKitty

@Unionhawk His clone is GONE

Unionhawk

@UniKitty It's not a clone, it's just @GnomeSlice playing with a literal sock puppet

UniKitty

THATS @Unicycle's CLONE

Unionhawk

12:19

CLOWN

IN THE WORDS OF @GnomeSlice

GO BACK TO CLOWN COLLEGE

UniKitty

(AKA a @GnomeSlice)

Tim Stone

Gnome/Sliced

UniKitty

Sliced up gnome

Unionhawk

But no, different user no longer with us, engaged in actual mod abuse back in the year... 2014?

5pike

@Unionhawk I think I know who you mean...

UniKitty

12:21

WHO IS IT?

Unionhawk

@5pike You think correctly.

Tim Stone

@Unionhawk I can think of at least one other instance I would consider applicable but it's not Arqade-related so we can ignore it.

Unionhawk

Guarantee it

@TimStone Oh the SU guy?

Or was that SF?

I can't keep track

Tim Stone

Oh, right. That was SF. That's not what I was thinking of but that certainly qualifies.

Unionhawk

Oh snap more mod abuse?

mod abuse intensifies

Tim Stone

12:23

On the whole though there is a surprising lack of mod abuse given the size of the network.

Unionhawk

Yes

Which is a good thing

Actual mod abuse has no place on the network

Tim Stone

Indeed

Unionhawk

Pretend mod abuse is fine

UniKitty

@Unionhawk But the bugs!

Tim Stone

We prefer our mods free-range.

Unionhawk

12:23

@UniKitty @fredley changing my avatar is hardly actual mod abuse

UniKitty

@TimStone Your'e a mod

Tim Stone

I am an enigma.

UniKitty

@Unionhawk If it worked? You'll become @UniKitty

Unionhawk

@TimStone Wrapped in a mystery?

@UniKitty I can revert it. I did revert it.

Tim Stone

@Unionhawk Only on Wednesdays.

Unionhawk

12:25

@TimStone Ah

UniKitty

@Unionhawk You didn't

Unionhawk

@UniKitty I did, actually

As you can see

UniKitty

not

Unionhawk

OK

@UniKitty IS BLIND DATA ACCEPTED

UniKitty

@fredley Failed and broke it

@Unionhawk NEGATIVE

Unionhawk

12:26

Well, as you can see, I am using my gravatar

So...

@UniKitty REQUEST DENIED

UniKitty

I'll get @fredley to use this

api.stackexchange.com/docs

Unionhawk

...

Is this user even real?

UniKitty

Yes it is

Unionhawk

Is this real life?

UniKitty

No it is not

Unionhawk

12:28

Fucking rate limiter people wake up and talk more so I can talk more

UniKitty

This is the world of space shooters

Unionhawk

Arghifnil;kjas;dfjkasd

Frank

@Unionhawk Okay

Unionhawk

YAY

UniKitty

See! Its a space shooter thing

Unionhawk

12:28

Go home @Uni you're drunk

Frank

@Unionhawk And I'm sick.

So....yay?

Unionhawk

@Frank wheeeeeeeeeee

UniKitty

No I'm not drinking beer

Unionhawk

your joke was bad and you should feel bad

UniKitty

@Uni Agreed. Its very bad

Unionhawk

^ actual footage of @UniKitty

BRIDGE I CAN SEE OUT A WINDOW NOW FROM MY DESK

IT IS GREAT

UniKitty

@Unikitty does not wear black

Unionhawk

Um, I did say actual footage, so clearly...

Your avatar background is black aka fail transparent

So

UniKitty

Cats hate wearing glasses

5pike

@Unionhawk All I see Is a car, a roof and some clouds /:

UniKitty

@Unionhawk And NO. I am at home

Unionhawk

12:36

@5pike Before all I saw was mauve brown cubicle walls that were put into this building in 1985 when it was first occupied

So this is a massive upgrade

Even though I do need to not have Bridge in full screen

@UniKitty Please hold while I invalidate your argument

UniKitty

@Unionhawk ERROR INVALID ARGUMENT

Unionhawk

♪ Hold music! ♪

Thank you for holding. Your call is very unportant to us

UniKitty

Hangs up

Slams phone on table

Unionhawk

UniKitty

Screams in anger

12:39

@Unionhawk: like 10? @UniKitty: 1

UniKitty

Biznis Kitty

Unionhawk

And with that diversion done

I need to do stuff

UniKitty

Sorry hung up already

Unionhawk

"Let me just verify your address so I can send you my weight in free sign up CDs"

UniKitty

@Unionhawk NO! I never wanted your pirated stuffz

Unionhawk

12:42

...

UniKitty

And you don't know where I live

Unionhawk

Are you too young for Homestar Runner?

Am I old now?

Ohgod

existential crisis intensifies

UniKitty

That is a weird game...

Unionhawk

Oh god you know it as a game only

Oh god

UniKitty

@Unionhawk Oh god I know

5pike

12:44

@Unionhawk TrueFax: After you have finished reading this sentence, you'll be older than you were when you started reading it.

Unionhawk

@5pike Meh

I can handle the inexorable passage of time

UniKitty

I'm older!

Unionhawk

BUT PEOPLE BEING YOUNGER THAN I AM

TO THE POINT THAT HOMESTAR RUNNER IS GETTING OLD

UniKitty

How old are you

Unionhawk

I am 21

UniKitty

12:45

guess my age

Unionhawk

@Unionhawk Though technically @fredley missed a H*R reference once, so maybe this isn't an indication of me being old

More likely an indication of me being an American maybe?

Iunno

IUNNO

UniKitty

@UniKitty I'm 100

Unionhawk

@UniKitty seems legit

UniKitty

@UniKitty Nah, I'm younger

Below 20

Unionhawk

nowai

shock intensifies

...ok @Unionhawk, that was rude

Yeah, it was, what are you going to do about it?

UniKitty

12:47

@UniKitty Above 10

Unionhawk

gets in fight with self

UniKitty

@Unionhawk fights @Unionhawk

WHO WILL WIN?

Unionhawk

Going to go with 14 (one four) because if you are under 13 you'd lie about it anyway now that you know COPPA is a thing

So this game is stupid

fredley

@Unionhawk I still don't really understand Homestar Runner

I watched an episode, watted, and never watched it again

UniKitty

@fredley Its a random thing

Unionhawk

12:49

@fredley It doesn't seem compatible with british humor

fredley

@Unionhawk No, potentially not

I mean, I sort of get why the Trogdor episode is funny, but not hugely so.

Unionhawk

Ugh I added a region and a block comment Visual Studio, Y U BUILD

Oh because I hit build not start

What an idiot

UniKitty

@Unionhawk Look before pressing

Frank

@Unionhawk Nah, I've done that.

"Why are you not starting, silly Studio? Start, I said!"

Unionhawk

Clearly I need more coffee

This coffee is getting cold too

This is the worst

Oct 29 '14 at 16:06, by Origami Robot

COLD COFFEE IS GROSS

RIP @OrigamiRobot

RIP @Lazers

UniKitty

12:56

So @OrigamiRobot is the one that's no longer with us?

Unionhawk

@UniKitty Not specifically no

UniKitty

Was his account mod-abused

Unionhawk

20 secs ago, by Unionhawk

@UniKitty Not specifically no

UniKitty

Then WHO WAS IT

Frank

@UniKitty Doesn't matter.

UniKitty

12:58

@Frank YES IT MATTERS

Unionhawk

There once was a user who was a mod, who one day got so mad that he literally told the bridge to fuck off and went on about how we could keep flagging him but couldn't kill him because he was a mod.

Frank

@UniKitty Nope.

Unionhawk

It was a tragic time in The Bridge

Frank

@Unionhawk And it wasn't even really Bridge history.

Unionhawk

@Frank Yes it was

Well, we deleted it from Bridge history I guess

But it totally was

UniKitty

12:59

Mod abuse?

Frank

@Unionhawk Seeing as how that user then disappeared, never to return, it seems it all worked out. Sorta.

Unionhawk

@UniKitty Flags.

@Frank Meh

MEH I SAY

Frank

@Unionhawk You're the one that brought it up!

UniKitty

@Unionhawk Flags too

Frank

You're not allowed to Meh it away!

Unionhawk
