Does anyone know what happened to Brett? Wasn't he this site's chaos member?
 
Jeff Atwood happened
I think that disenfranchised Brett.
 
user30
Oh, they changed the requirements for Booster.
 
user30
Excellent.
 
@ThomasMcDonald Yeah, I noticed that when I was informed I got one of those.
 
user30
I haven't been on the site in the past 9 hours.
 
10:02 PM
@Raven That's what I assumed. We much go on a quest to get him back!
 
I poked him for all y'all
Also, we're no longer "assigning" people to sites. So even if Brett works with us, it's not going to be him being "assigned" to Gaming.
 
I see, well that was an easy quest
 
Oh Oracle, you so funny.
 
Brett says, when asked: "Adventure!"
 
Every few versions, Oracle changes the letter at the end of their database versions. For 7-9 it was i for Internet. 10-11 were g for Grid. 12 is c for Cloud.
Which is pointless, since it's the same letter for all the subversions.
There is no Oracle 12b, for example.
There's only Oracle 12c.

Oh, so it turns out that a song I liked but couldn't identify at the start of Zedd's Christmas mix was by David Guetta.
 
user30
ಠ_ಠ
 
@Grace He's a bit late with that meme.
Hi @Brett! Your gravatar is not nearly beardy enough.
 
@RonanForman I need to commission a new avatar
 
Poke Sean next time you see him! See the wonder jobs he did on everyone else here!
 
@BrettWhite Poke @Sean about it!
 
10:12 PM
@Brett I'll make you one if you want.
 
See? Two people suggested him simultaneously. Clearly, we're impressed.
 
user30
I'm more impressed by mine.
 
smug mode
 
Ha ha ha, I can also just add some squiggly beard lines to it in MS Paint
 
I wish it wasn't that easy to make one-step ladders in Max
 
10:14 PM
(my beard is incredibly squiggly)
 
Hi Brett! Long time no see!
 
Ronan is also a good option - Ronan made avatars for a lot of us
 
@FallenAngelEyes Hello!
 
@BrettWhite You could always just go for the addition of a hat.
 
user30
Hats are always good.
 
10:15 PM
And apologies for being away, I actually think this is going to mark my first full week of work since...before Thanksgiving
there have been a lot of 3-4 day work weeks. And much work.
 
@Brett Just so you know I'm going to make one anyway, I need an excuse to draw something again.
 
Blah.
Editing a Terraria youtube video
Taking longer than I expected.
 
@BrettWhite ohai, how's it going?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I am living life. How is it going by you?
 
@BrettWhite It goes. Driving in circles around various parts of queens, the usual.
The awesome thing about wintertime is getting off from work early.
 
10:18 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Moving?
 
The shitty thing about wintertime is not being able to work a full day is kinda annoying.
@BrettWhite No, driving in circles is what I do for a living.
I make maps.
Or more specifically, do data collection for the making of maps.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Whoah! Okay cool. Don't we have a map making Stack? I don't remember.
 
@BrettWhite Yeah, there's a GIS stack, but it doesn't touch on my side of things much.
 
@RavenDreamer uh...we should probably do that
@alexanderpas, @John, @Tristan, or @OrigamiRobot - next time we're all on doing something neat, remind me to record
also there's no reason we shouldn't be using mumble, lol
 
It always warms my heart to see accurate affect/effect edits in the queue.
 
10:21 PM
Technically, my job is GIS related, but I don't actually do any GIS work.
 
@IanPugsley Will do
 
whacks Firefox Copy the http even when you hide it, please!
 
@Powerlord Yeah, same basically.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz that's ok, I'll touch you for the right price
@Powerlord Chrome does :P
 
@Brett You're quite easy to draw, thankyou!
 
10:28 PM
@NickT That's okay, your mother charges less.
 
@RonanForman Are there more pics of me on the site somewhere, with beard? Oh, I guess the Gaming videos?
 
would buy if Blade actually cut that guy's head off
@LessPop_MoreFizz I get a 2-for-1 deal with your mom and grandma
 
@Brett Yeah the video, you look really happy all the time in that video.
 
@RonanForman I AM AN AMAZING ACTOR
 
10:29 PM
MY OVERLAY! She does not work. :(
 
@BrettWhite Actor where
 
Your the only reason I watch those videos.
 
@RonanForman You're.
 
Okay... so the higher numbered tracks appear on the top of the layers
that's... unintuitive.
 
(Yes I am a pedant. I am also right.)
 
10:32 PM
@NickT I am actually not an actor, but I am a writer for a sketch team at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York City, and of course I self promote at all times
 
@BrettWhite And I can attest to the greatness of a place that is the USBT
Though I have not been to the new one yet.

Q: Educational children's game from the 90's - what is it? "Grand Poo-Bah"

TrevorWhen I was a kid in the mid-90's, I had one video game I absolutely loved. I can hardly remember anything about it, but I was hoping someone remembers it. Things I remember: at one point, the player would be called a variety of names, including "Grand Poo-Bah". I also remember there was anothe...

 
This is the best avatar ever! (sorry @thomas)
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I have only been once, it is nice.
 
@BrettWhite ah, my friend works for the Everywhere Theatre Group. I know next-to-nothing about the off-broad scene in NYC
 
10:36 PM
@NickT USBT isn't really part of the off-broadway scene.
It's more like the cornerstone institution of the underground comedy scene.
 
Yeah, www.ucbtheatre.com for info.
It's become the training ground for everyone you see on NBC sitcoms and SNL
 
I figured that as it's sketch comedy, was referring more to the scope of what my friend is involved in
probably really small :P
 
okay i have to leave work
i will talk to everyone later!
 
10:55 PM
lol, @BrettWhite that's actually the guy I know
looks like they do more risque stuff then your crude toilet humor

Q: Will a Mana Flower auto-consume Restoration Potions?

edsoboI was reading about some of the items that can be crafted with a Tinkerer's Workshop and saw that a Mana Flower will enable "auto-consumption of any mana-restoring items." Will this cause Restoration Potions to be consumed also? If so, it seems like a way to restore HP while avoiding the limitati...

Q: Where's the best place to find lumps of earth?

fredleyI need lots of earth, but it's so rare I'm having a hard time finding it. Is there a region in which it is more commonplace?

 
@NickT Not quite.
 
@agent86 Yeah, I was just reading about that new xcom on RPS. Screenshots make it look like it's made with consoles in mind, so we'll see how it turns out. It's what made me want to play something already out.
 
Uggggggghhhhhh so tempted by Coachella, but really don't want to drop a grand to go. :(
 
11:17 PM
Just restarted my old DF save. Going to watch as they slowly die.

Q: Is a build relying only on fire damage viable?

OakI'm currently running a build relying almost only on fire damage (through the Promethean Magic skill) for defeating enemies. Currently when I encounter fire-resistant monsters I either whack them with a stick or rely on the high damage on the fire wall spell (Gog's Tactical Pyre) to penetrate the...

 
@ArdaXi You say that as if there's a reason to load up DF other than to watch as they slowly die.
I mean, that's basically the whole point of the game.
 
Sometimes I help them live first.
 
@ArdaXi Right, but all you're really doing is making them die more slowly.
And, hopefully, in new, creative, and interesting ways.
 
I'm now flooding the lower levels (where all the nobles sleep) with lava.
 
11:25 PM
@ArdaXi Lava is always a good solution.
 
This fortress happens to be built in a volcano.
 
@ArdaXi Since, as @GraceNote puts it, When in Doubt, Use Fire. And seeing as Lava is basically Liquid Fire...
QED.
 
@Sterno I wish I could help more with a suggestion about the games. I haven't played much of any of them, to be honest. I think i started a couple of them once and got turned off by the micromanagement and the difficulty curve.
 
This is a bit cruel.
 
QED
11:34 PM
ah
 
@badp thanks for the tissue!... why did you give me a tissue?
 
QED
I guess you lot aren't into games like this?
(this is my favorite)
 
Well....
 
@QED What did you prove?
 
QED
that's too hard for me!!
@Wipqozn, nothing - yet[?]
 
11:40 PM
@QED So your name is a lie then?
 
QED
technically
it could be seen that way
 
That's... certainly something.
 
Ages 4 and up?
 
can someone with a clue about look at this answer and make it better?

A: How to counter Anti-Mage late game?

JuxtaGet Tinker in your team, once he farmed Scythe he can permasheep Anti-mage due to hes ulti! And gettning Scythe on Tinker aint to hard since you will probably get Boots of travel and just farm. This is a very good way to shut Anti-mage down in mid and late game and also Tinker has hes Lazer Abil...

when it comes to these DOTA games I don't know the lingo, so while there are obvious errors, I have no clue if some of the word choice is appropriate
 
11:55 PM
IF that was a real toy, I assume it would be worth a lot of money today, since I assume it probably would have been pulled off shelves very quickly and in turn would be very rare.
 
@Wipqozn The tissue was related to the CtW video you recorded.
 
@agent86 "hes" to "his" and "wich" to "which", one "to" to "too" and other associated grammar errors mark the post's issues. It's otherwise technically sound (though functionally suspect)
 
@RonanForman ah, okay.
 
does anyone use scheme?
 
@GraceNote What the crap does "permasheep" mean?
 
11:57 PM
keep him permanently sheeped?
 
@FallenAngelEyes "Sheep" is a status ailment, effectively
 
Like Stun, or...?
 
@GraceNote Lazer is the correct term for the skill? or do they spell it "laser"
 
So, permanently keep the target in Sheep status. It's not really feasible in a hectic match up even with Tinker's ult (which resets all his cooldowns instantly after a second at max level)
 
@GraceNote Does it turn them into a sheep?
 
11:58 PM
@agent86 I honestly have no idea, it could be either way.
@FallenAngelEyes It's basically kinda like LoL's Fear, makes the target unable to take action and instead just randomly wanders for a short time.
@Wipqozn Yes.
 
@GraceNote Aaah okay
 
@Brant Oh hi. Haven't seen you around in a while.
 
okay, I took a crack at it.
it's at least somewhat improved.
 
Yeah, I haven't worked up the nerve to hang out in here from work yet, new job and all.
 
@NickT As in the language? I used it years ago but I don't even recall much of it yet.
 
11:59 PM
And in the evenings I'm usually busy/playing Skyrim.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Somebody never played WoW clearly, in spite of her fondness for MMOs. :P
 
@GraceNote Does it behave identical to the Sheep ailment from Warcraft 3?
 
@Brant Psh, I hang out here like all the time in my new job.
 
@Brant Yeah, I don't really check in from work. Doing so would be... mildly suicidal.
