« first day (565 days earlier)      last day (4476 days later) » 

2:00 AM
Ok, sleep for real now poofs
 
@StrixVaria there goes another star for the day
 
@Wipqozn I think so, yes.
 
@John Prove it.
 
@Tristan Actually, I was removing something. But due to the nature of human memory, you'd have a devil of a time trying to remember what was there to be removed in the first place.
 
@Wipqozn I just looked, but I can't find it. However, I stand by my baseless accusation.
@RavenDreamer Quite true.
 
2:01 AM
 
@RavenDreamer so, what did you remove?
 
Case in point: I forget who is on my team between champion select and the loading screen when playing LoL.
 
And now because I like baseless prognostication, I will tell you who I think will win the elections if we don't get any more nominees. agent86 and Mark Trapp.
 
@John you would.
 
@Wipqozn Because I persevere
 
2:02 AM
@RavenDreamer Curse your infallible logic...
 
why are there only 2 positions; I thought there were 3 community mods
 
@Wipqozn I was censoring something.
 
Btw, @Tristan is MC working well this time?
 
@NickT Sure, to start with.
 
@RavenDreamer I assumed, but what?
 
2:02 AM
I think these are 2 new positions.
 
@agent86 This.
 
@Wipqozn Strix saying F EA.
 
@Wipqozn Language.
 
@agent86 They are.
 
@John MC as in Minecraft?
 
2:03 AM
I have been previously asked, when censoring things, to remove them outright, rather than edit them to be friendlier sounding.
 
@Tristan Yes, seeing as you're playing that right now.
 
@NickT It's 2 new positions, we're upping our count to 6
 
@RavenDreamer Yeah, I remember that.
 
@John Seems to be working fine, yes.
 
@Tristan Yay!
 
2:03 AM
Though there's nothing quite like renaming an unregistered user from "@#$@*#@$*@" to "I like Flowers!".
 
For the record, if you ever think you should censor my posts, I would prefer you to edit them into something amusing.
 
@Tristan Now you can join us for "Game On!"s!
 
Normally, we'd host a 3-slot for a "second election", like we're doing with Apple and Ubuntu. But thanks to my interference in the middle of last year, we already went up to 4, so we're grabbing 2 more to round out at 6.
 
@GraceNote 6 and a half. Mana + Raven Dreamer = 2.5 people. We're that awesome.
 
yeah...waxing on about yourself...
 
2:04 AM
@RavenDreamer you forgot that @badp does the work of 3 mods.
 
@RavenDreamer My replacements are only worth 2.5?
 
must mean mana = 2, raven = 0.5
 
@GraceNote Why do you think we need even more mods?
 
Speaking of which, I understand not letting everyone have mod power, but we get a lot of viewers and visitors, why limit us to 6 mods?
 
@GraceNote We are not together the man you are alone.
 
2:05 AM
@John I've never had trouble playing single player... But I'll try MP next time.
 
@Tristan Ooooh....ok then.
 
@John Because the more 20k and 10kers we have, the less work mods should have to do.
 
@RavenDreamer There's a lot of stuff only mods can do.
 
@John What @Raven just said, as it were. The majority of work should be done by the vast wealth of high rep users we already have.
 
Eh, ok then.
 
2:07 AM
The number of exceptional situations that require mods isn't enough to really need more than just 6 at the moment. The load is a lot for just the 4 currently, but not enough to warrant SO-level counts of mods.
 
@John Clear flags. That's... about it. Close questions? Vote. Delete questions? Vote. Bad grammar? Edit it.
 
@GraceNote what's that count
 
Hmm, bacteria that can grow using only cocaine: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10698749
sounds like they know how to party
 
@NickT Our flag count for the past 30 days is at 3.1k. Stack Overflow is at 41.1k.
@RavenDreamer 30 days.
 
2:10 AM
Then I retract my incredulation.
 
@RavenDreamer yeah, that made no sense...have you used SO? It's a morass
 
Yeah, not so surprising when you've got the right count.

Could I get a basic step by step instruction for this? I replaced the new motion controller because I thought it had a problem. Second motion controller wor...

Q: Fast Ways to Make Money in Skyrim

tuvaI've heard that you can make some good coin enchanting daggers and then selling then (with a high level in speech). What other strategies work?

 
@Lazers dupe?
 
@NickT thanks for finding it.
bam. closed.
 
2:13 AM
glad I could give you the illusion of usefulness
weren't you just talking about how there are mod-only things you could be doing? why are you in chat, get to work son
what do I pay you for
 
@NickT The great thing about the modern internet browser, is that you can have two pages open at the same time.
Multitasking, ho!
 
@RavenDreamer You only use two? Slacker.
 
multitasking is bad, mmmkay
 
That said, if you were, in fact, to pay me, that might push up flag clearing's priority. Until then, though, you'll have to settle for multitasking.
 
@John this.
If I become mod, I promise to have three pages opened!
Take that @RavenDreamer!
 
2:17 AM
@NickT Also, the flag list is empty. For now.
 
Also, @GnomeSlice, I can't believe your quesiton is still open.
 
@Wipqozn This bike one?
 
@John Yes.
 
I...actually...find that a reasonable question.
 
see, look how unproductive I am
 
2:21 AM
@NickT Now that's multitasking.
Btw, why do you still have that chat window open? o.O
 
eh, it's there
I'm supposed to be making figures and writing thank-you notes
 
You can now upvote comments on the election page.
 
@NickT You've got two hands.
 
that's about all I've done the past hour
 
Write with one, figurize with the other
 
2:23 AM
and make a video
 
Some of that is probably Carbon.
 
that video took my computer ~20 minutes to render (not counting the two times it crashed my video card)
oops, wrong video
w/e
probably prettier anyways
 
@Tristan LoL?
 
@OrigamiRobot Sure. Give me a second, as I've just realized something.
We need more pixelated gravatars on this site.
 
@Tristan It will take me about 10 minutes to get home anyway
 
2:30 AM
So I can do more of those.
@OrigamiRobot Oh, okay. Just ping me or message me on LoL when you get home.
 
What are "those"?
 
@GraceNote Minecraft pixel art of peoples gravatars. Like I did with @GnomeSlice
 
Ah, so "block art"
 
Yes.
 
"Block Art - the new Pixel Art!"
 
2:36 AM
@Zamual05 I see you hiding in this chat room...
 
ah, there we go. Gnome's question was closed.
Also, I like the comment on the edit:
> Made less of a troll question - this user has been problematic on other sites...
 
@Wipqozn what question?
 
-1
Q: How Can I Beat Up a Bicycle With My Bare Hands?

GnomeSliceA friend of mine recently told me about a place he went for an interview where they apparently make a sport out of trashing locked up bicycles in the area. How the hell is this even possible? Do you just pull on it until it breaks? Do you need tools? And perhaps most importantly - should I ...

 
Ah.
 
@Tristan LIES! :P
 
2:44 AM
@Zamual05 You have a very recognizable gravatar. =P
 
Although, we are bigger than Super User, and they have 7 mods.
Plus, they have fifteen 20k+ non-mods and we only have five.
 
Wait, are we electing one mod or two?
 
@Tristan two
 
@Ullallulloo Oh. I didn't realize that.
 
They also have 47 non-mods over 10k rep and we only have 22.
That'll put us up to six total.
 
2:48 AM
@Ullallulloo I'm trying to get over 10k rep! I've gained 85 today!
 
I kind of agree with @John that that might not be enough though.
But I'm not a mod (yet?) so I don't really know what the load's like.
 
@OrigamiRobot Ten minutes, huh?
 
Super User: 7 mods, 47 over 10k, 15 over 20k.
Gaming: 6 mods, 22 over 10k, 5 over 20k.
Yet more traffic.
 
@Ullallulloo You also have to take into consideration the number of trolls/Jo'nathans we've gotten here.
 
@Tristan Yeah, our average Google visitor might be lower maturity too.
g2ge
 
3:02 AM
@OrigamiRobot Why do I feel like I got trolled?
 
@Tristan only 8k more to go!
 
@Tristan he left here, so he should be home soon
 
@Wipqozn Woooo! I'd like to think my Science question will get me there.
@IanPugsley Thanks!
 
@Wipqozn I think you meant "active role"
Just a friendly heads up :P
@Tristan I am here. See? See me here?
 
@OrigamiRobot I see you. Just waiting to see if @Zamual05 or anyone else wants to play too.
 
3:08 AM
@Tristan Bug @IanPugsley. Bug him to death!
 
@IanPugsley bugbugbugbugbug
 
@OrigamiRobot @Tristan I'm in
 
@OrigamiRobot Where at?
 
@Wipqozn in your nomination (you said "active roll")
 
@Wipqozn "As a mod, I feel I could take a more active roll in helping the site grow, and become even better."
 
3:10 AM
oh, um... uh...
congrats!
You pass!
That was a test!
good job everyone. Good team effort.
 
@Wipqozn Yay! I'll add that to my nomination :P
 
It's moderator time again?
 
How many we got in that LoL group?
 
@GraceNote Four so far.
 
So you got room for one more, is what you're saying.
 
3:14 AM
We do!
 
@GraceNote yesss
 
@GraceNote Yes
 
HARRY UP
 
LoL? Can I play? :D
 
@GraceNote YEEEESSSSSSS!
 
3:15 AM
D'oh, never mind.
 
If you want, Brant, you can take my slot
 
Nah, it's okay. I don't have voice comms right now anyway.
 
Or we could do a Custom Twisted Treeline against each other.
 
@Zamual05 With Ian and Origami being incredibly new relative to the game, this would sound like a terrifying idea.
 
@GraceNote I know, but I figured we could split the teams evenly based on level and experiance.

Q: Looking for an old WWII Airplane Game

kdub324I use to play this old airplane game on my Gateway windows 98, This was probably around 2000 or 2001. It was not a DOS game. You flew a fighter jet and had to shoot down airplanes, bomb ships, then fly over land and bomb air hangers of the japanese I believe. Also at the main screen if you cli...

@NickT I don't have Skype and can't get LoL to work, anyway. :(
 
yx.
3:38 AM
how much rep on a bounty do you think it would take to get someone to play this game and answer the question?
 
and buy a DSi?
 
yx.
maybe some people already have a dsi
though yes, they would have to buy that game, rofl
tempted to make the game tag just for the lulz
 
@yx It would take quite a bit of rep to make be spend $10 on a game I would never want to touch again
 
@yx pass :) I'd do the research if I could find the info online, but I'm not buying that game for that question
 
yx.
lol, too bad the max I can put is 500
 
3:49 AM
Hm. I really wish I had a job to justify spending 59.99$ on Kingdoms of Amalur.
Hm. I really wish I had a job.
Job Fair this Thursday! Wish me luck! ^_^
 
yx.
its 60$ actually, but personally I'd wait till amazon puts it on sale for at least 20$ off within a few weeks
 
@RavenDreamer Good luck!
 
yx.
@RavenDreamer good luck
 
@NickT Brant might be open
 
@RavenDreamer Good luck!
 
3:51 AM
@GraceNote Now you're a swan.
From Flamingo to Swan in Two hours or less.
 
Oh, and there's Raven as well.
@RavenDreamer I had hoped you might at least recognize Nina. Lili would be asking too much.
 
@GraceNote I can count the number of JRPGs I've played on one hand.
 
It's Breath of Fire! It's not your traditional, even if it's still traditional.
 
Tales of Symphonia 1+2, Skies of Arcadia Legends. The end.
 
Oh. This is before your time, then.
 
3:53 AM
@GraceNote By 3 years or so, yeah.
 
yx.
having to wait 24 hours to award a bounty on a question with no answers before I can add more bounties is stupid
 
On unrelated news: I'm going to a meadery this weekend!
 
yx.
@raven check for rat poison before you sample anything
 
@yx Skryim reference acknowledged.
 
@RavenDreamer gaming grant!
grace says it's coming soon
 
3:56 AM
@agent86 Graces also says
2 hours ago, by Grace Note
For those who might want FF13-2 or Amalur, I recommend buying it on your own and getting us to reimburse you.
I am aware.
Valentine's Day Skyrim
Whoops. Forgot to not hotlink.
 
@RavenDreamer seems like they'd still cover it, you'd just get it a bit later than you might want :P

Q: How do you turn off the repetitive coach in Madden?

shellHow do you completely shut off the in game commentary? I'm sick of intercepting the ball and hearing "You're in the shotgun here so use the extra time". I turned off the sound, but I like the crowd/field noise.

5:02 AM
@Ullallulloo I was counting 7, 8, 11, and 14, yes.
 
@RavenDreamer updated question
the more I think about it, I'm coming up with the following as "heals":
- direct healing (champ or summoner spells/passives)
- healing from spell vamp (but not life steal)
- healing from killing creep (probably what gave me a strangely small 71)
@RavenDreamer not sure about shields
or the spell vamp either ,but I have no idea how malz would get that high

Q: What is the best character to summon on League of Legends if you prefer a ranged attack?

12:52 PM
I just had the worst bot game of LoL ever.
2 of my allies had no clue how to play and just fed all game. Not that I blame them for that. That by itself wouldn't have been too bad, because 3v5 bots isn't unreasonable.
And one of my allies just sat in the fountain all game and told us about how he was farming levels on referred accounts to get RP for his main.
Trolling us for taking too long to win.
 
@StrixVaria ...wat
 
Clearly I reported him. I just hope it carries back to his main account too and doesn't just ban his alt.
It didn't help that I was playing Sejuani, who is a tank and decidedly not good as a carry.

Gnome is not someone who deserves to be banned, either.
 
I'm not saying he is.
 
Okay.
