Thank you. I made use of the fact that A) Strix love sanderson and B) Strix doesn't have time for such friday non-sense, so wouldn't even think about it
Fortunately I can say that without fear of further inflating your ego because your ego is already infinite.
@Wipqozn that hyphen
@KevinvanderVelden No, it can be inflated

Why can't I kick-mute a mod?
What is this non-sense
@Unionhawk feeds is that nonsense
@JasonBerkan *kick-mutes @JasonBerkan*
He's not even a room owner, so I can do nothing. Room ownership is empty power!
15:02
The next person to owner @Wipqozn gets banned, except @fredley because he somehow conned all of you into making him a mod.

Q: How to Not Smell Like Feces without Bathing?

user8547I'm a bit lazy about bathing, so sometimes I'll go a week without cleaning myself. I counteract BO by avoiding manual labor, so that I don't break a sweat; I also use deodorant and cologne. However, these prescriptions do not mask the smell of an unclean hiney. How best to keep that area clean w...

I DO HAVE POWER!
And it is gone.

Q: How do I get the third daily card from the Steam Monster game?

Rob WattsPer the Steam monster minigame's FAQ: If you’re Steam Level 8 and above, you’ll get a Summer Sale trading card at random intervals while playing, up to three per 24-hour period. Today is the 7th day of the sale, and I've gotten 14 cards from the game - two each day, and always right when I ...

Q: How to clean dried blood and bone from the car grill

dotancohenSometimes I find dried blood and even bone in the grill of my car. Regular car soap does not remove the blood, especially if it has stained the chrome. Bits of bone also get stuck between metal and plastic body panels, which if not carefully removed could damage the finish, leaving bare metal exp...

I've actually noticed this too. Has anyone actually gotten a third card from the game?
15:05
> Sometimes I find dried blood and even bone in the grill of my car.
@fredley I am scared.
@fredley pls
@Wipqozn? You can make tags right?
@fredley Was there a murder?
16
Q: Whither [Murder]?

LessPop_MoreFizzWhere did the murder tag go? It appears to have been, well, murdered, silently, in the night, with no record of the deletion in the edits of any of the existing questions. :(

Like, actually,
15:07
@Rapitor wtf
lifehacks.
@Rapitor I would go for the +50 on the "take a shower you lazy bum" but I like downvoting better
user15026
@Rapitor Oh ick.
I find it passive-aggressive that no one thumbed-up my comment about the female employees who were turned-on by my fecal stench. Jealousy perhaps? — user8547 yesterday
user15026
15:09
Why do people have this inherent thing against showering?
Guy is obviously trolling
@AshleyNunn i did hate showering when i was little... probably because it was a thing i was told to do and i hated doing anything i was told to do.
maybe that just sticks with some people
TROLL HARDER M8. What's that? This is on par for Lifehacks so it's hard to tell? Son of a...
user15026
@Rapitor maybe.
@fredley What does this make you think?
15:12
@UniKitty he created it
@Unionhawk Mods can?
It's a negative userid, so it's a feed personality
@UniKitty Yes, for feeds
That's how @Lazers2.0 was born
@AshleyNunn WE MUST PROTECT THE PURITY OF OUR BODILY FLUIDS
@UniKitty ignored
Otherwise, it would just be @StackExchange
15:12
@Unionhawk So he's trolling?
user15026
@PrivatePansy shudders
@UniKitty I mean
He's @fredley
So by definition
The patients are running the asylum
There is no hope
So -369 == 11935?
@UniKitty pls
15:13
@fredley (noun): 1. notorious British Bridge troll 2. moderator at Arqade and Coffee.SE

@fredley Its their user ids
@fredley Can you power up Friday?
@UniKitty We already killed it
And no
He cannot
user15026
@UniKitty There is no need.
@UniKitty Why do you always have to take every tiny joke in the Bridge and drag it out forever even after it's dead?
I rue the day @fredley became a mod, if only because he cost me an eighth place finish in the voting.

Ain't nobody knows how to kill a joke like The Bridge.
It's kind of sad that when I look back on my contributions to stackexchange the most positive thing I ever did was create .
@JasonBerkan I performed terribly in my previous 2 elections
@GnomeSlice Which, in the long run, wound up being literally nothing.
@StrixVaria You don't have to point it out
Hah
15:18
@StrixVaria RIP
:(
Hi I'm back
@UniKitty No need to announce it.
15:24
@StrixVaria I announce when I come back from pooping sometimes.
@GnomeSlice there is especially no need for that
@GnomeSlice Announcing you're back from your kick-mute is missing the point, though.
user15026
Things I don't need to know about you lot - your bathroom habits.
7
@AshleyNunn Actually this is also a good point.
@GnomeSlice You're lucky most of my coworkers are either at lunch or working from home otherwise I'd have gotten more looks for losing it at this >_>

fredley has added an event to this room's schedule.

Hmmm, probably shouldn't troll things that get tweeted
Don't want Bridge to leak
Yes, ideally you'd want the bridge to be well contained in an appropriate... container. Like space!

Q: Minecraft Bow Command ./give multiple enchants

Stevie B.Ok. So I have this one command that I want to use. And I am not sure about the syntax. I want to put multiple enchants on my bow.Can you guys who answer, remake my command so that it works? If you do, it would be greatly help me!! Here is my command: /.give @p minecraft:bow 1 0 {display:{Lore:[...

I wonder if fallout 4's mr handy only knows "real" names. or common online monikers too.
15:36
So, I went to install some new maps on my TF2 server remotely... only to find out that tf_workshop_map_sync on a map not already downloaded to your server now segment faults it.
Note: This was working before yesterday's update.
Yesterday's update fixed a bunch of server issues with the TF2 map workshop... only to introduce some new ones in the process.
user15026
@fredley But now I am curious?
@AshleyNunn I made an event - it would drop down a big banner with a link to Friday, every Friday until the end of time.
But those things get tweeted/promoted on main site
So probably a case of Too Much Modabuse
user15026
@fredley Ah, yeah, that's a bit much for a Friday trolling
@Rapitor Like what?
My mom used to blast this every friday morning
Hunter2?
and I used to get a ride with her to college ish every friday morning
The country station would play it at like 8:00 AM every single week
I mean it's not horrible but there's only so much you can take
@Yuuki *******?
15:46
So hyped for weapon customization.
user15026
@GnomeSlice Oh man, that song. Local country station plays it SO many times every Friday.
Heh
I mean I actually like that song, but it's pretty ridiculous
@Yuuki idk. i usually name all my game characters raptor or rapitor. even in games like sims i avoid using real names
TF2, what the F@#@# is going on.
user15026
@GnomeSlice I like it better than Rebecca Black, but that's not hard
15:48
heh
Last time I restarted my server, tf_workshop_sync_map was crashing regardless of what I passed it.
Now it's just fine
(well, for maps I already have on the server. It still crashes for maps I haven't yet downloaded)
Oh great, now it crashes every time again
it's so happy
Wait, no, it's crashing completely unpredictably.
It sometimes works, sometimes crashes.
16:00
This @fredley thing cannot be true
Thanks @Unionhawk
@StrixVaria MOOOOOOD ABUUUUSE
user15026
@UniKitty What is the point of this?
@AshleyNunn Its because @Unionhawk said that so I made a userscript to do that
user15026
@UniKitty To do what?
@UniKitty You don't need to make a userscript for everything @Unionhawk says. In fact, I'd strongly advise against it.
16:07
@AshleyNunn Dunno
@fredley Why
@StackExchange Noooooo my secret weapon!
user15026
@UniKitty So you made a userscript, but you don't know what it does, based on advice from another member of chat? You don't make much sense right now.
@JasonBerkan, you were supposed to be the silent ninja!
@UniKitty This is a warning: you're being annoying again, please stop, or I will take further action.
@fredley ok
user15026
16:09
@Wipqozn We know your secrets, man. We're mods, there's no hiding from us. We are legion.
@AshleyNunn Noooo ssshhh
@AshleyNunn She's mama mod
user15026
I'm nobody's mother.
user15026
You're all ostensibly grownups, you don't need me to mother you.
@AshleyNunn You're a bunch of corpses surrounding a weird thing with eyes that shoots lazers? #Castlevania
16:11
I'm so glad I have no idea what's going on right now.
user15026
@Powerlord looks at her drivers license That's about right.
I see wonder why they called it Granfaloon in Symphony of the Night, but Legion in all other Castlevania games.
Tweet them and find out
@Wipqozn There was a grenade in the room. I threw myself on it.
@JasonBerkan You'll be remembered as hero.

@Unionhawk I'mma mod I see all
If you add an "a" you get "mama"!
@Unionhawk I thought you meant Arqade at first, and thought you had taken a bump on the head.
I finally got into one of the right rooms for the steam game
What in the fuck — GnomeSlice 1 hour ago
user15026
@UniKitty Congrats, you understand how to manipulate language.
@AshleyNunn Yay!
user15026
16:17
@Wipqozn Roadkill, and a low to the ground car, I am assuming.
Help, it's going too fast
@AshleyNunn Hoping
@twobugs I was in a game like that yesterday. The enemies wouldn't even appear.
@AshleyNunn One hopes
user15026
@SaintWacko I don't want to consider an alternative. :P
16:19
I'm pretty sure everyone in the game is running a script
So it resets at noon EST? I thought it would be 1pm EST like the other steam stuff
@twobugs resets between 9 and 10am pst, afaik
there is no exact time for it
I see. That's very annoying
I need to be there ASAP to join one of the cool kid rooms
Well, I'm in a room with @Chippies, I think.
@Yuuki don't think so, I'm not in any of the rooms yet
Well, I joined someone on my friends list.
16:26
unless I got added back after it reset... hmm
The predicted level is only 120k
Chippies plays dirty
Couldn't join @GnomeSlice though, it kept throwing an error at me.
@GnomeSlice I'm a dirty bad boy, what'chu gonna do about it? wink wink
Join me in what
16:27
Chippies is the angry Kirby from all the US covers
@twobugs I'm not angry, I'm just misunderstood!
I always thought it was funny how they just give Kirby angry eyes on the US covers
and change nothing else
@twobugs or perhaps they shaved Kirby's eyebrows in non-US covers, so it's even more creepy, because he's still just as angry, but you don't know that
He doesn't have eyebrows his eyes just change shape
He grows eyebrows whenever he gets angry.
@GnomeSlice well, same thing, sort of
Attack eyebrows.
You could take a bottlecap off with those eyebrows.
Why does this clown get to be owner and not me
2
16:30
@PrivatePansy Steam Refund?
@GnomeSlice Because I'm pretty.
@Yuuki I'm quite sure the version I bought is correct
I'm browsing the store front for my country which has this game listed in my country's currency
And paid using a credit card whose billing address is in my country
I was just about to make @GnomeSlice a room owner, too
16:31
Oh man the steam clicker is so broken
@Sterno I hovered over the button to ban you, but I've cooled down at least a little since @Wipqozn's treachery.
Mod abuse is best abuse
They gave me my nachos with the chips in a bag and the toppings in a bowl and OH MY GOD WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THIS
@Sterno Qdoba?
They did that last time I got nachos to go and I was so confused.
Yes
Just put the cheese on the nachos. The sogginess is part of the to-go experience.
That was definitely a change for the worse.
16:33
24 minutes in, we just hit level 3200....
@Ktash Aw, I'm only on 2000 :(
I have a question about the plot of the assassin's creed series. There is no gameplay aspect to my question. Should I ask it here or Scifi & Fantasy?
There seems to be some ambiguity about which is the more appropriate site in help and meta
@durron597 Either is fine.
Most monsters are just playing their kill animation instead of the spawn one
@durron597 You are likely going to meet hostility here, even though it may technically be on topic.
SF&F will probably welcome it openly.
Although I don't go there frequently, so I might be mistaken on that point.
16:36
@durron597 Plot questions are absolutely fine here
Sweet. Got a foil card. Another 40 cents for my gaming addiction.
@durron597 I might be able to help, what is your question?
Although anyone who is actually hostile to you is being a jerk, and should silence themselves.
I've seen well received video game plot questions on scifi & fantasy
@Sterno Yes, this.
16:37
@Sterno This
Why does Steam's support site have a popup reminding me that I can get refunds now that appears every two minutes even when I'm trying out my support ticket?
Well, I wrote it up here, so I'll click post. If there are no answers after a few days I'll delete it and try there.

Q: Where did the Auditore and Kenway lines merge?

durron597It's well known that Flavia Auditore (1513 - Unknown) is a direct ancestor of William Miles (and therefore the Assassin's Creed present day protagonist Desmond Miles). We also know that Edward Kenway is the first member of the Kenway line to be in the Assassins: Edward will be thrown in the ...

Huh, apparently its triggered by the ctrl key
@Lazers2.0 SO SLOW
:|
16:38
Lazers posts all new questions here?
:22254440 I think it's at Desmond, but I don't have an official source for that
@durron597 Yes, but it's usually not this prompt.
It pools like once every 10 minutes or something and posts all new questions since the last time it posted.
@twobugs The Wikia explicity states that William is a descendant of both lines
@Lazers2.0 Here, have an upvote
Who's bright idea was it to have a modal popup be triggered by the frigging ctrl key?
16:39
@durron597 Your question seems perfectly appropriate here
@PrivatePansy (raises hand)
@durron597 Ah, interesting. I didn't catch that. Good question!
Though it could be William's parents. I've found very little about them
I know Desmond is supposed to be where a bunch of different lines meet
16:40
I can't copy and paste into this form without a modal popup informing very helpfully that I can get a refund
@twobugs What do we know about Desmond's mother?
I think @Unikitty must have cursed me
Just no one ping @Frank and you'll be fine.
@durron597 That she gave birth to Desmond Miles.
@PrivatePansy Why
@Sterno You just pinged him
16:40
@durron597 I think they've been very quiet about her so far
@UniKitty Who? @Frank? I did not ping @Frank.
SPOILER ALERT: Desmond's mother is Tyler Durden.
Desmond is his own mother
Then why is there an @ in front of Frank?
16:41
good stuff
@UniKitty whoosh
Already? Damn. Must have had a lot of wormholes in your game
@StrixVaria I do feel a little sorry for using sanderson to trick you
But only a litle
but I am sorry that I don't feel more sorry
@Wipqozn No you aren't
16:43
@twobugs I have over 6900 wormholes myself
This is a really ugly badge
I don't know why I bothered crafting it instead of just selling all the cards
@twobugs I actually am
@Wipqozn I want to give you an A+, but it's Thursday, so you only get a C-
Ah well, badge of shame
but only because @StrixVaria is my sanderson buddy
16:43
@StrixVaria I was surprised to see that you don't have a tag or somesuch
Steam needs a "Sell all my stupid cards at once for $.01 less than the average, please. Thank you." option.
@Sterno If he had waited until tomorrow to pull this, it would have been even more devastating.
@durron597 Meta tags are bad.
We used to have one, , but it was purged.
Anyone who wants to join a good monster clicker Room 45703 > Expected Level: 84362, Seconds Per Level 1.01 let me know and join me, ill add ya as a friend on steam if I dont have you already :)
16:44
@StrixVaria I guess no one is an expert in "video game lore"... well maybe you could be
, , and would just make it easy for people to set up their auto-downvote scripts
@James for a moment I thought you were on level 45,703 and expected level was 84,362 and I was confused, lol
@durron597 Tags on this site are...not ideal. We do the best with the framework we have, which generally means burninating all tags that aren't just the game title, and under rare circumstances the platform.
@Chippies Haha, my bad :D
> A secular Jew as POTUS and The Pope as VP? Sounds like the best sitcom pitch I've ever heard.
16:46
Its a near fresh game but lots of worm holes going on right now
@StrixVaria I mean, you have and etc. Those are meta tags, too
@Sterno There's probably a script to do it, but I'm not sure if it's allowed under the Steam ToS
@James Sure, I'll join! My steam name is saintwacko
@durron597 that's not what meta tags are
@durron597 No they're not...hold on I guess I'll search meta for the link.

Q: Have we not been clear enough that meta-tags are a Bad Thing™?

StrixVariaWe have some users going around specifically adding meta-tags to questions. I cannot fathom why, honestly. I thought we were very clear on this point. But some people seem not to get it. They're writing tag wikis for Bad Tags™ and even specifically adding them to questions. Should we make a mor...

But, you know, I have 135 rep on this site, so what do I know.
@James You can't join games with +10 levels above your current one, right?
@PrivatePansy above your max achieved so far on any day
@SaintWacko Friend invite sent :)
Ah, okay
@PrivatePansy Yeah I think I dunno they keep changing things
16:48
If were a meta-tag, it would be the worst meta-tag
@James that was always the rule
@durron597 Hey, I was just about to link this.
@murgatroid99 Yeah it used to be the only one
Oh well.
Ah, yeah, I can't join it :(
16:49
Then you could only join rooms that were <10m old
I can't find a source that explains why we decided that meta tags were bad.
@James but that went away
You can check the chat in this Twitch stream for the rooms that will get you past 1m easily
@StrixVaria probably because it's a network-wide rule
It's going to be on Meta.SE, or possibly the blog

A: A personal appeal to Jeff Atwood: Recent Changes to Gaming

Jeff AtwoodFirst, I should apologize for not announcing the changes before I made them. You're right about that. But I felt the tagging issues had gone on for 6+ months with no significant action at all, and even worse, a technical programmer code "fix" to the entire Stack Exchange engine was being promoted...

@SaintWacko Aww, that sucks :(
I'm someone who thinks that questions should have as many tags as possible because I don't see any harm in more tags
@durron597 oh hey, that has the link to the blog post that says why we don't want meta tags
Jeff Atwood on August 06, 2010

There are a few tags on Stack Overflow that have bugged me for a long time. Namely:

subjective best-practices beginner

best-practices beginner

beginner

But I could never quite articulate what, exactly, was wrong with these tags. It’s been bothering me more and more as time goes on. So much so, that about two months ago, I was compelled to ask on meta: Should we permanently remove the [subjective] tag?

There are some weak arguments in favor of keeping [subjective], but that’s about the best its proponents can muster. The arguments against it are much stronger. I felt Shog9 made the best case: …

that twitch stream I linked, they are announcing more rooms every once in a while, if you manage to get in any of them, you will get above level 1m within couple hours
16:52
I spend most of my time on Stack Overflow and Programmers and every time I come to Arqade I'm stunned with the culture of one or maybe two tags, game + platform
@durron597 It's because more tags than that aren't actually useful in our context.
@durron597 Well what do you see on SO? language+library+framework+algorithm+... They have more relevant tags for any given question
There are exceptions, like tagging with a specific race for starcraft or a specific class for Diablo.
lore questions are in general on topic But I haven't found the burnination question yet
There's also a specific tag for redstone within Minecraft.
But games don't usually get sub-tags unless you can be an expert in that specific subset of the game and the game has enough volume to warrant separate tags.

16:54
Sorry to interrupt but I just successfully helped someone set up their new router over the phone for the first time ever.
@AshleyNunn that is great
user15026
@durron597 We rarely need more than a game tag.
@AshleyNunn I hate setting up routers when I'm sitting down in front of it.
@AshleyNunn Yay! Grats!
user15026
@murgatroid99 It did involve me putting the person on hold and running panicked to a coworker to be like "WHAT SETTINGS DO I NEED" but said coworker was super helpful.
16:56
I can't even find an old question where the tag was removed. This one had half-life-universe at one point
user15026
@durron597 Unlike Prog.SE, we don't really do tag removal things as a concentrated effort for the most part.
user15026
and technically, lore is a thing we accept.

Q: Invalid name minecraft p.e

Himigs1Whenever I want to edit my name, it is blank and when I type It won't let me type anything. Any suggestions?? I have already tried getting out of the app reloading, shutting off my ipad, any help??

@durron597 If a tag is completely destroyed, it doesn't show up in edit history (I'm pretty sure)
16:58
@AshleyNunn We've had a bunch of specific tag-removal efforts on meta. We don't do it anymore because we're pretty much done removing all the bad ones.
user15026
@durron597 Oh, I misunderstood, sorry.
I am aware this is my opinion, but I think that having a tag like is a good signpost; people know what to expect from a question tagged and that it's different from a gameplay question.
user15026
@StrixVaria Yeah, that's true.
@durron597 What information do you think they get from that that they don't get from a title and summary?
I could also see myself searching for and just reading a bunch of posts about games that I like for a few hours
16:59
@murgatroid99 I think the supposed advantage is being able to see "at a glance" that this is a lore question.
@StrixVaria This, and also sometimes it's not immediately clear from title / summary
