@John It's a contest, I think.

@GnomeSlice Pity I will never have enough rep to see if that got any answers.

I hope my actual meaning got across in that question.

The idea was that I mash potatoes with my forehead.

@AshleyNunn God, you don't even know the half of it.

@AshleyNunn An everlasting truth.

I know this guy outside of the internet, remember.

@Mana That is the part that scares me

3:17 AM

@GnomeSlice HUR HUR HUR

@Mana Not really.

When is the last time we really spoke offline.

And by 'spoke' I don't mean 'you corrected me in physics class'.

IN FRONT OF EVERYONE.

@GnomeSlice Hey, hey. I retreated to the back row several times to talk with you.

I don't even remember correcting you about anything.

'retreated'.

Is it bad that I'm starting to refer to SE people as people I know in real life? OtherFriend asks: "Do you know these people in real life?" And before I can think, I say yes.

Aug 22 '11 at 1:35, by World Engineer

it's not off topic technically

I hate that term. 'in real life'.

I prefer 'offline'.

I'm no less real than anyone else.

3:18 AM

@GnomeSlice The funny part about that one is that I flagged you.

@John You... you....

@GnomeSlice Offline just sound so...disconnected.

I get more strange looks because I refer to people by username in conversations - "Oh, this guy I know, @Gnomeslice, he linked me to this game", for example.

Aug 22 '11 at 1:42, by Mana ಠдಠ

@GnomeSlice wanted me to tell you guys that,

@AshleyNunn Well that's not a very unusual name believe it or not. For a while, I was known as homeslice. (Not by my own choosing, mind you)

Aug 22 '11 at 1:46, by John

@RavenDreamer Help! They want to make @GnomeSlice a mod!

@AshleyNunn Even moreso when referring to me. :P

3:20 AM

This is great.

@John You're telling me you didn't realize my pun until just now?

@GnomeSlice Hey you're quoting me!

user15026

@Ullallulloo My tongue usually just gets tangled up trying to say your username XD

Aug 22 '11 at 1:46, by World Engineer

I think it would be a much better trolling to get Gnome to demi-mod status

@GnomeSlice Oh no. I realized it a long time ago. There was just never an opportunity to say something about it.

Very interesting concept.

I'm rearranging everyone's posts.

@GnomeSlice I am.

3:22 AM

It probably was. But I can't tell because it was a flag on my own post.

Oh well.

You know how much I hate those jokes.

@GnomeSlice yeah

My father thought it was hysterical.

3:29 AM

you told me

When I explained it to him.

and I hate your dad all the more for it

Chat is making me wait like 15 second between messages now.

(although he sounds like a pretty cool guy besides that actually)

@Mana Oh, by the way, have you reinstalled Greed Corp yet?

3:30 AM

@GnomeSlice no, I haven't reinstalled any games

=[

they're all gone

Why?

because I want to force myself to become a master at my profession

Powerlord

@Mana I hope you''re not a fisherman.

3:31 AM

I hate you.

I wanna be one of those programmer guys who people look up to and respect. So I wiped most of the distractions off my computer.

@Powerlord Don't even.

unfortunately this site and chat look like they're not going away anytime soon

so distracted I will remain

@Mana So...you're a mod on a gaming site, and you don't play video games?

@Ullallulloo I used to play video games!

but then I took an arrow to the OH GOD NO

NO.

3:34 AM

I AM RAPING SOMEONE'S FACEBOOK WALL WITH HAUS.

@GnomeSlice Wooooooooooah, that is not very nice.

Also, I noticed. Jesus, stop posting music.

"Michael posted a link on Dan's wall." "See 5 similar stories"

Wow...

HE STARTED IT.

wow, the Touhou Facebook page is actually the worst thing. I think I like this game for all the wrong reasons because apparently I'm supposed to care about the characters in the game and not the awesome bullet hell gameplay.

@Sterno I've wondered the same thing for ages.

soundcloud.com/ultrnx/ira-atari-dont-wanna-miss-you

@Sterno Wait for a day then answer it yourself

I can do that. It'll give someone time to google it, find the answer I just posted on the Spiderweb Software forums (I'd asked there too), and then paste it back to me :P

???

I really doubt Angelina Jolie wants to be my friend on facebook.

@GnomeSlice Confirm anyways

@GnomeSlice for the lulz

as you would put it.

I most certainly would not.

damn

I was going to use it to write "hi cutie ;) i added you because i wanted to say TO STOP POSTING ALL THIS CRAP ON MY FRONT PAGE"

IT WAS YOU.

Well, I added it.

I lol'd

IndieRoyale's Happy New Years Bundle.

@GnomeSlice oh my god another one?

Do you know anything about these games? I haven't been keeping up with indie gaming

I know about crossfire, I have a version of it for xbox. The PC one looks a lot more fleshed out. Fractal looks amazing. Nuclear dawn looks fresh, but not something I'd play.

plus, chiptune.

@GnomeSlice chiptune? Which one has chiptunes?

4:09 AM

> BONUS: Pay more than the minimum price and get George & Jonathan's "Beautiful Lifestyle" funky chiptune album!

A: Lower new user restrictions to 6 rep

Wow! 9 upvotes in just under an hour! \o/

9

I'm voting no. Maybe not on your site, but on some, people will upvote anything. Lowering it to one upvote would essentially get rid of it altogether IMHO. I agree it's not ideal, but it cases where the user needs it, I think it's perfectly fine to post in chat as you have done.

@GnomeSlice oh cool

My second paypal transfer didn't go through I think, but I really need to stop buying games...

BUT... INDIEROYALEBUNDLEDEAL

@GnomeSlice and that's how suddenly you go poor

The version of Crossfire that I have got boring pretty quickly.

Hard to say about the PC one.

4:13 AM

god I hate having $200 of Christmas money(I don't actually hate it). It's so difficult to spend it.

@Mana I know that feeling.

I want to buy something nice that will help improve my productivity but it's so difficult to know what that is

DAMMIT. My latest paypal transfer won't go through by the time this bundle is over...

I avoided buying much during Steam's sale this year. But only because I already bought darn near everything I was remotely interested in previous to it being on sale :P

@Mana OH, I CAN HELP.

4:14 AM

Still can't believe Arkham City dropped so fast

springpad.com

Actually, it's free.

Anyone want to buy me the indieroyale bundle? :3

@GnomeSlice I'll be honest; I've never found anything like this useful at all for organizing things.

@Mana Me too...

My mother gets so angry when I don't use this stuff.

@GnomeSlice -1 for using a Mac in the demo screenshots.

that's because she doesn't understand that it all sucks

4:16 AM

@Mana IT WORKS FOR HER THOUGH SO WHY CAN'T YOU JUST GIVE THE TOOLS A CHANCE YOU'RE ONLY HURTING YOURSELF GOD LETS ALL YELL ABOUT IT

That seems like it should be so helpful! But, it never really is.

like it's actually all terrible. Everybody tries to make one and a lot of it seems like it should help but it's always such a pain to actually keep on top of them

LOL!

Especially when she wants you to use like 8 at once

Because I never remember to actually check the calendar.

Lol @ Gnome being drunk.

@GnomeSlice Same here.

@John Are you still reading the transcript?

Also, I don't drink.

you would need to integrate one into the very basis of the operating system itself to finally make an app that actually works and that I actually remember to use

@GnomeSlice Maybe.... >.>

@GnomeSlice I'd be worried if you did. That's part of what makes it so funny. xD

@Mana even like phone reminders

I just tune them out

4:18 AM

@Mana Then it would only work on that one device.

Unless you happen to use the same OS everywhere.

And my mother is all IM'M BUYING YOU THE LOUDEST ALARM CLOCK EVER MADE

Or someone is good with compatibility.

AND YOU HAVE TO USE IT AT FULL VOLUME

When volume makes no difference at all.

@GnomeSlice My alarm clock scares me awake every time.

And half the house with me.

It's not a matter of being awake. I just... can't get up.

I'm chronically fatigued.

@OrigamiRobot :( Is it that since you're a robot you can't feel the warmth of a hat?

@John Somewhat ironically, I would hate them less if they weren't temporary

you don't happen to be an expert in mobile software architecture @badp? ;)

@Blem If what you require is buzzwords, perhaps! :P

The synergistic thing to do here is collate the monetization-friendly real-time centralized distributed autonomous collaboration system with the value-added scalable peer-to-peer augmented reality system designed for Apple iPad™, providing you maximum return on investment keeping your shareholders happy and the kitten fed. This kills the hamster.

@Blem A greeener thing you could do is assess the amount of CO2 emissions the hamster would have farted in the remainder of his lifetime and size the swarm size accordingly, creating as many CO2-wise clones of the dead hamster as possible. This can bring to interesting gamification avenues to engage the audience and funnel them into your content.

while it is all good i'm mainly focusing on android and the company that i'm writing my bachelor for do not need to sell the application, it is more of a additional service for there existing machines

Your value-adding platform could provide your free-to-play services alternative monetization streams through sale of virtual hats for their existing machines, for example. This increases retention.

true, hats are always good, also considered bacon, but it is meant to be used in a lab environment so doubt it will be popular
