@James I have a friend who was being super drunk at a party and hegot a call from his work if he could fix something real quick. He went over there (it was a building away) had some difficulties convincing them to let him in and fixed whatever was not working.
though it's never too late for a good old bluescreen
@James He was way beyond that peak point though.
@Arperum Different people have different tolerances ;)

Oh, The Expanse, you were doing so well, and then you mounted a Newtonian telescope backwards on an equatorial mount. Without a counterweight. And possibly (although it's hard to tell) at the wrong axis angle.
I've edited it to take the new changes into account, while attempting to preserve the original question. At the end of the day, the question is asking how to maximize XP, and whether it's for paragon levels or actual character levels really makes no difference. I've attempted to bring that forward, and focus on just that aspect. The question isn't useless, and we often don't close questions of that nature. — Frank 1 min ago
Did I change the intent at all?
@Frank Looks fine to me
Okay. Just wanted a double-check on that.

Q: Help! My Mother-in-law got Mind-Uploaded and now pesters me through the surround system

Serban TanasaDear Abby, My mother-in-law moved away last October. Before then, she was very, uh, involved in my and my spouse's life, so I was if not exactly looking forward to her departure or demise (perish the thought!) at the very least feeling ready for the next, more independent stage of my life. I s...

dear lord that's terrifiing

Just realised that @fredley will get a -5 from my account removal in SFF. Sorry.
@ardaozkal i dont think anyone will lose rep from mine, although i did have a question there with 12 upvotes that no one could answer
@ardaozkal oh, well it seems @fredley will lose 5 rep from my account being deleted as well
Omg, someone the XCOM team looks like one of the Turkish Steam Translation Mods.

Q: Minecraft: /setblock a playing jukebox

ExusHow do I setblock a playing jokebox in Minecraft? I need the command.

@ardaozkal gotta push that animated gif off the screen
@GodEmperorDune hit the burn icon of porkchat, it'll burn to removal.
@ardaozkal not everyone uses porkchat
Ah, sorry then.
01:06
@ardaozkal you weren't around when porkchat trolled everyone
although to be fair, neither was I
but it apparently changed all the links to friday
and @fredley had many lulz
I heard that it once literally killed chat too, by making in unaccesible.
That is why I'm using my own PorkChat LTSB-ish (long term servicing branch-ish) branch (I check every update, by hand).
there was the time @badp put the bridge on timeout, then "solved" it by making everyone an RO
unfortunately i was not paying attention then or i would've deownered @Wipqozn
now it never shall be

Q: Is it fair to use painting software for tetris puzzles?

Danny LoAs the title says I am curious if it's fair to do this. Some of the tetris puzzles are just too hard to solve them mentally for me, so I came up to that kind of aids. On the one hand I feel like cheating or reading a solution, on the other hand I still need to use my mind for solving.

Someone should owner GodEmperorDune and Wipqozn, so that GodEmperorDune can deowner Wipqozn.
@ardaozkal it's no fun if you're that blunt
plus it's no longer a thing
no more frivolous ownership changes
Note: I'm not affiliated with that game nor its developers.
Oh man song fo the your mom is on netflix
I shoul watch that again
@GodEmperorDune Luckily the solution to mod abuse was more abuse
Since @MadScientist (I think?) just gave the room a 1 secon freeze which override @badp's freeze
Wonderful memories
that we've written together
and will outlive us

Q: The answer I'm writing exceeds the 30k maximum character limit; what should I do?

JonasCzI've written a very long answer, with a lot of details - Now, I want to add even more, but, when I pasted the latest version of my answer into the edit box, it told me that answers are not allowed to be longer than 30k characters: Some details about my answer: It's a list of things that ...

01:22
that too is what ART is made of
I should use Outlook Calender more.
Actually, everyone should use their calender system more.
Do you wanna build a Claptrap? @MaryLaufeyson had a bit of fun in the snow this winter. #Borderlands https://t.co/MXwuFS4sNS

My Strawpoll didn't get many votes. :(
@Fluttershy some people just are not very helpful. i voted though
@Dragonrage Your vote is appreciated!
@Fluttershy happy to help :)
alright, good night bridge, time for the long drive home
@Fluttershy Poll of?
@Fluttershy Which strawpoll?
@PrivatePansy How handsome and funny I am?
01:52
@Wipqozn On a scale of 1 to 10, -Interger.MAX_VALUE
@Wipqozn No, a poll of how turtle you are.
@PrivatePansy so bad, that it doesn't compile.
@MBraedley 72 hours remain
@ardaozkal no you shouldn't, outlook is terrible and you're terrible for suggesting it
@GodEmperorDune Can you even organise recurring 250 people video calls on others?
Why I use Outlook calender:

- Can make recurring

- Can show busy

- Can organize Skype for Business calls.
@ardaozkal why would you ever need to have a recurring video call with 250 people?
@GodEmperorDune Recurring video call: I'm part of a student developer traning program, on the trainer section. We do monthly meetups on Skype for Business.
But 250 people is well, the limit.
We first did the meetups on Hangouts, but it didn't allow all of us (we are like... 30 trainers)
01:58
did the americans have their electon?
did trump win?
@Aequitas no, he came in second in iowa
is that the first one?
@Aequitas correct
LOL
so people are voting for him
and he's right up there
we basically have 50 pre-elections, then the real one
02:04
do the pre elections not count?
@Aequitas The primaries (pre-elections) determine who the main candidate for each party will be in the real election.
There are 50 because they are held on a per-state basis instead of nationally, and there are 50 states.
Each state chooses its own method of voting and timing.
so trump can't be president then?
@Wipqozn @PrivatePansy strawpoll.me/6717737
@Fluttershy Witness or XCOM 2
And anyone else who wants to vote!
02:13
I'm going to wait on the Witness for now
Just want to be able to take my time with it
8 hours ago, by Fluttershy
@KevinvanderVelden Unpopular opinion: I'm not fond of XCOM.
My vote goes for The Witness
You'd want to take some time for that game, I'm told, but it seems well worth it
@Fluttershy Oh
okay, well, time to update my ignore list then!
GOODBYE FOREVER @FLUTTERSHY
lol I'm just joking
I'm obviously going to delete my account in protest
@Wipqozn Bye, Felicia.

Q: How can I have my military advisor executed in Civ V?

LukewarmCerealMy military advisor gives me such terrible advice that I have come to suspect him of deliberately sabotaging my war effort. Since he's a traitor, where is the button to have him put on trial and executed? Thank you.

02:17
@Fluttershy Don't worry man, you are not alone in this.
@Fluttershy I had to google that meme
user15026
@AshleyNunn irl in my headcanon
@AshleyNunn O.O cries
Just made another terrible program, to detect and move my duplicate game roms. Turns out 1/4 of all my roms are dupes (E/U/J versions of the same game).

@PrivatePansy Yep. That's p much me

Q: Misseable Side Quest in The Witcher 3.

ZarathustraxI've been reading in forums that after "The Nameless" quest in The Witcher 3, you can miss some sidequest. Is this true? I have several sidequest to do so, and i'm exactly in The Nameless quest. Should I return and do all the sidequest or they will be there?

@AshleyNunn whedon likes killing off main characters
not your fault
user15026

DAMN YOU @fredley WHERE IS THE LEAVE BUTTON
@PrivatePansy yep
@ardaozkal Its that X in the top right corner
nvm, under the "show info" section
03:25
I probably have had more grapefruit than most people, but I have never spent a dime on it
user15026
I love grapefruit
My grandpa has 3 acres or land. He has a large orchard and garden where I get most of my fresh produce.
@Dragonrage lucky
Don't worry guys, nobody killed Trump and replaced him with a gracious loser
03:41
@Unionhawk phew, i thought trump was reasonable for a change
@Wipqozn 25 more hours FEEL THE HYPE
Whoa, hold up.
@Strix, you just closed and deleted a question that still had significance.
@Unionhawk didn't Bernie do the same thing basically?
@Frank MOD ABUSE! SOUND THE ALARMS!
@Dragonrage trump didn't lose by coin flips
@GodEmperorDune I dunno. I'd like to know why, first.
Seeing as how the relevant meta post goes exactly against that.
03:49
@Frank which question was it?
the XP farming one?
@GodEmperorDune Yep
And the review queue was unaminously in favor of keeping it open.
@Frank yeah you did a good job with that edit
@GodEmperorDune I tried. So I'm a little irked it was just up and unceremoniously deleted.
I reopened this because the question it was closed as a duplicate of was completely and utterly useless to help this asker. In fact, I deleted that question because having it around was actively harmful. — StrixVaria ♦ 1 hour ago
Ah. There it is.
And I wholeheartedly disagree.
@StrixVaria I absolutely and totally disagree with your assessment. So does meta, and so does the review queue. — Frank 25 secs ago
So, yes. That is complete mod abuse.
@Frank What?
What significance?
@StrixVaria You're going against everything on meta.
It was still a valid question.
Outdated, perhaps, but that's what was being worked on.
03:55
@Frank In what sense?
@StrixVaria XP is still a mechanic in D3, no?
I feel like we should have a separate meta regarding outdated questions specifically since that's actually possible
Making a new question is about a million times easier and more well supported than trying to rejigger an old one into something useful.
@StrixVaria And it's still not how the system works.
Here we go again
03:56
Closing that new question as a dupe of an outdated old on is a complete waste of everyone's time.
@StrixVaria but @frank already rejiggered it
@StrixVaria ...You just wasted more by counteracting those moderation efforts.

Q: How do I change parental controls without pin/call to nintendo

Korin EzellMy friend gave me a 3DS XL that I want to change the pin on to access the internet and format the system memory. My friend doesn't know the pin or the answer to the "forgot" question and I really don't want to call nintendo for this. Can anyone help me?

@Frank None of the answers on the old question had any relevant information to today's state of the game.
And my going against all meta precedents.
@StrixVaria So?
03:57
Anyway, I'm going to stop talking to you now because this is a waste of my time :)
Fine. Meta it is.
I knew this would rile you up, and I did it anyway. I have work tomorrow and I have to sleep.
Meta it should have been from the beginning.
@StrixVaria I was giving you the benefit of a doubt.
Can we make it a general meta not a "Strix is a mod abuser" meta please
Perhaps I shouldn't have.
03:58
@Frank lol ok
Trying to help users with legitimate questions is frowned upon here.
@Unionhawk general meta? what are we, sff?
Rules lawyers are the worst.
Tell me again why I bother?
@Frank I really wonder this.
Tell me, seriously, why the crap, I even make an effort to help anymore?
03:59
@Frank Honestly what you did to that question came across as utterly unhelpful.
@Frank because you want to make the site a better place?
"You can't ask your question, here's another question with no useful information to look at."
@StrixVaria I tried. And I question your fitness as moderator by doing so.
What a load of shit to tell somebody.
All I get is derision when I asked you in good faith why.
04:00
Did you ask me why I did what I did?
i think we need some other parties in here to cool this down
I thought I made it pretty clear.
@GodEmperorDune No, let it keep going
11 mins ago, by Frank
@GodEmperorDune I dunno. I'd like to know why, first.
It's because the user had a legitimate question that wasn't answered on the site, so I un-closed his question.
04:01
cc @fredley @AshleyNunn @badp @LessPop_MoreFizz
I asked nicely. I really did.
It's nice to see somebody stand up to him
@Frank This was asking @GodEmperorDune, not me.
@StrixVaria Yeah. I asked you why.
And left it at that.
Anyway, you have your reason now.
04:01
Until I discovered your actions.
user15026
Honestly, there's nothing I can do here, short of perhaps suggesting this be moved to not-the-Bridge if people want to have extended discussions on this.
It's because I want to help the user by allowing his unanswered question to exist, rather than closing as a dupe of something completely worthless.
user15026
And that people stop assuming bad faith and abuse.
user15026
In a general sense.
@AshleyNunn Tried that.
04:02
While I was at it, I noticed a question that existed that had literally nothing useful to offer anybody on the planet, so I got rid of it.
@Frank You started at "this is clearly abuse"
user15026
@Frank You're assuming this was abuse and was targeted, Strix is trying to explain, and you never once tried to consider it otherwise
@Unionhawk No, I started this as, "Hey, what happened here"
Before you received an answer.
You started at "what happen here", then went to "this is abuse" before getting an answer to that.
technically i called mod abuse first
04:03
Found his comment on the other question, and saw that it went against all our precedents.
Stars complaining about somebody don't get cleared when they're about me...
THAT is when I decided it was mod abuse.
People confuse "moderators doing stuff" with "mod abuse" quite a lot.
I have no idea why I was pinged but I am very drunk and not qualified to offer statements about things they are not how good one of the beers I have had this evening was.
user15026
@Frank Before Strix even got a chance to really talk it over, you went "This is clearly abuse" based on a comment.
user15026
04:04
@LessPop_MoreFizz No worries, have fun with your drunkness and delicious beers. :)
@AshleyNunn ...okay, yes, that I did do.
@Frank This sort of closure has been done before on a number of questions, so it's not entirely unprecedented
@LessPop_MoreFizz Please provide an itemized list of all beers and their goodness
@Unionhawk No, that it isn't.
The very clear, very recent meta post, however, shows that that's not what the community wanted in this case.
Well then clearly there isn't one master consensus on this issue then, no?
04:05
I can improve on at least one thing here, and that is dealing with @Frank specifically. I still think that I should have done everything I did on the main site, but my patience when dealing with @Frank's "the rules are more important than literally anything else" attitude is nonexistent.
@StrixVaria I care about community consensus.
(This statement of my status will mostlybe true for the next ~120 hours, though brief windows of sobriety in which I moderate Gaming.se are likely but incapable of being scheduled.
I care equally about community consensus and helping users.
user15026
I feel like this is one of those times everyone just needs to take a giant step back, take like three or four good deep breaths, and remember we are all here for the same dang reason?
This question is decidedly on topic, and there was no good answer in the linked question. Therefore, to me, it should be open.
user15026
04:06
@LessPop_MoreFizz Are you at some sort of Thing where there is copious beer?
@TimStone friend me on untapped dot com.
@StrixVaria But...that goes against every single meta post we have about duplicate questions.
Literally every single one.
@Frank that's why he's a moderator, he's trusted to make calls like that
@AshleyNunn I will be as of about 4 pm Saturday
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Super fancy. What sort of thing?
04:07
Right now I am just wandering around Nashville with a goal of visiting six breweries in one night.
So users who happen to ask questions that were kind-of asked 4 years ago and got now-outdated answers are just fucked?
I'm not saying we have a good answer to solving this, but deletion and reopening isn't what we've really decided on.
@StrixVaria I wish we had a better answer.
user15026
@GnomeSlice And users are totally allowed to question the actions, but yeah, we're elected to solve issues the wider community can't/isn't solving. Was this the best action in this case? I literally have no idea.
While we work on improving that workflow, let's not fuck over users with legitimate questions.
I'm all for figuring out a real better process.
But while we do, let's err on the side of helping people and not pissing them off.
user15026
04:08
But, how about we stop assuming mods making decisions is time for like torches and pitchforks, please?
4
Well then maybe we should strive to come up with a better answer rather than sit with our hands in our pockets like "this is how it is, sucks, but oh well"
@StrixVaria Can we not fuck over attempts to work within the system while we're at it, too?
Yay! More votes on my straw poll! But it's still tied now. ;-;
user15026
We're all trying to do a thing, and we're all humans, so we are all falliable.
@Unionhawk Which is what we're working on.
user15026
04:08
Yelling things like this tonight solves absolutely nothing
user15026
we just have a bunch of people all adrenaline-y and that's not going to get us anyplace3.
No, we're working on deescalating this as a situation right now
My general go-to nowadays is: If in doubt, err on the side of helping users.
That is what we are doing
user15026
Chat is not the best way and should not be the way to make site wide decisions.
04:09
Now I'm actually leaving chat because I still have to go to work tomorrow.
I'm gonna go cool off. I still feel this was the wrong decision, but I'm definitely not thinking clearly right now.
This appears to be a Serious Chat conversation so I will bow out because I am VERY DRUNK.

BYE CHAT.

Let's have a discussion on words that make me a sad me.
user15026
You've used one.
user15026
Can we not?
@Aequitas please rewrite or delete it
04:14
Sorry, randomly had another thought: The dupe rules were changed so you can't vote as dupe if the target has no upvoted answers. The point of that rule is to avoid closing as dupe when the other question doesn't answer the question. IMO this should be extended to all cases. If the target question doesn't answer the new question, then don't vote to close as dupe. Good night.
or ban him I guess
seems a bit extreme
user15026
Not really - if people found it offensive, well, that's what the flags are for
user15026
People need to stop being so dang precious over a half hour time out
Oh god why did this hot chicken not include some bread.
user15026
go make a snack, read a book, watch an ep of your favourite show, whatever
user15026
04:15
it's not the end of the universe
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh dear. Too much?
people could also stop being so precious over things that make them a little uncomfortable
man I am in a bad mood, not about this
sorry, gonna go
I feel like this particular case is not the one
@Unionhawk using a slur as a pejorative most definitely counts
04:18
I mean not the case for "why flag who care" because people in this room do
But it doesn't matter anymore
SO MOVING ON
@Fluttershy doesnt work on mobile. firewatch
wait there it goes
@Fluttershy witness because the dev was qqing about piracy
@AshleyNunn it is manageable because I ordered only medium. But not including some bread is a big faux pas and I am not coming back to this Hot Chicken spot which is a shame because it is pretty good.
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Bread is important, from what I understand
04:23
@GodEmperorDune He also made $5m in the first week.
@GodEmperorDune And...what @Fluttershy already said.
HEY BRIDGE: SHOULD I:
@LessPop_MoreFizz DO EEEEEEEET!
1) try to get to a fifth "brewery" tonight though it is actually a bar/restaurant owned by said brewer which is actually just out of town
Or 2) go to local video game bar which I can walk to
arennt you already cut off
04:25
Or 3) go back to my hotel because I am already hammered and need to work tomorrow
Or 4) go to some other bar along the walk back to my hotel
These posts are pretty coherent, I'm not sure if you are really that drunk @LessPop_MoreFizz
user15026
@GodEmperorDune He's remarkably skilled at that
04:26
@GnomeSlice I have not stayed at any one place long enough to be cut off.
Must be the bridge version of the balmer peak
I'm gonna have to agree with @GnomeSlice and vote 3. Sorry, @LessPop_MoreFizz!
@GodEmperorDune autocorrect is good.
No it is not
To bring the bridge up to speed: I have currently been to four breweries at which I have had ~17 flight sized pours (2-4 oz each) and also 4 actual pints sarved separately.
04:28
@GnomeSlice Yours isn't. Yours is awful. But otherwise, it's good.
Also 2-3 shots of moonshine.
Over the course of...?
@GnomeSlice it is clearly effectively disguising just how drunk I am. Therefore it is good.
@Unionhawk I started ~4.5 hours ago.
@LessPop_MoreFizz that's a lot of alcohol... I think I have to vote 3
Point tandem
taken
04:29
And with that, it's time for me to sleep. I'll check the strawpoll tomorrow and make my decision based off of how I really feel, and maybe take the poll into account as well.
G'night, Bridge!
@Fluttershy YOUR VOTE IS
WORTHLESS TOMORROW.
@Fluttershy yep, confirm what you wanted to do all along
That hot chicken was quite spicy.
Hmm
2-3 moonshine and work might kill it, but then again
@Unionhawk it is from my jar of delicious salted caramel moonshine.
user15026
04:35
@LessPop_MoreFizz That sounds amazing
It is v. Delicious.
I am walking back in the direction of my hotel. I make no promises that I will not stop into a bar if I find one that is open.
Will they even serve you
if you're visibly gibbled
are there any high rep lifehack users here?
@Sterno
@GnomeSlice probably
04:43
@GnomeSlice yeah they probably will given that I can prove I am not driving and am staying ~2-5 blocks away.
Oh, okay
If not I still have a can and a bottle of beer and 90% of a jug of moonshine in my hotel room!!!
Also, it cold.
where is the turtle when you need him?
Asleep because he goes to bed at 9 because he's an old man
lame, he could probably answer my question
maybe fredly could but i havent seen him in awhile so he is probably asleep
04:49
He is in 5:00 am time zone
please leave a message
your call is very important to us
user15026
@Dragonrage It's like almost 1 am @Wipqozn time and like....5 am @fredley time?
maybe i should just make a meta post
Wait yeah you're right it is 1am in the land of the turtle
