@Wipqozn That one's the most accurate

poor f.lux

@badp glorious linux master race still uses it

*redshift

Meanwhile, in I sure do hate people

@Wipqozn or @badp are questions asking what song is played in a game off topic?

@Vemonus No, we've gotten them before

@badp What's wrong with f.lux?

Oh wait

Did Windows add in that option?

@murgatroid99 okay, I was thinking I'd seen them before but I thought I'd seen them closed before

Wasn't sure on the rule

@SaintWacko in the newest build

@Vemonus probably because they were crap? like "what is this song that plays in this game at this very ambiguous part of the game"

@Wipqozn Umm... are we hating the newscaster for blowing overflowing her stack or are we angry at the Internet for laughing at her blowing overflowing her stack?

@Yuuki Both

ie. "what's the song that plays in Halo when your shooting those guys on that ship"

@Memor-X you mean kind of like the one that got an off topic flag recently? :P granted, it tells what part of the game, but different songs could be playing, so... that'd be unclear, not off-topic, right?

Because what she did wasn't funny

I think that's called workplace harassment

What does blowing your stack mean

Honestly, I wish as soon as they went live the lady on the left did this

> Imagine if she said "Hey! We're all wearing white! Check it out!" takes off jacket

@Vemonus It's an idiom for getting super angry.

@Vemonus not sure what question your talking about

Although I personally think we should use "overflowing your stack" now.

@Memor-X gaming.stackexchange.com/q/297747/162442 this one showed up in the close queue

@badp Fancy. Does it actually reduce the blue light, or just put a filter over it?

@Vemonus someone who rages at the "unfairness" of Stack Exchange and complains on a Stack Exchange Meta

@Yuuki wow I actually knew that

this has been a long week for me

@Vemonus It's open, though. With no close votes

before then raging quitting and writing a blog about the "toxic" userbase

@murgatroid99 it got flagged as off-topic

@Vemonus was probably only flagged. i see no close votes

@Vemonus That's just not really a good way to judge anything. Almost anyone can flag any question; it doesn't mean anything

No, I know that

I was asking

Because I am pretty sure I've seen a song ID request get closed on the past

you can flag questions at 15 rep which includes off-topic flags. but you can't actually flag vote to close until like 250

Chuck Tingle did an AMA

cc @Ash, since I know you're a huge fan of his books

also cc @fredley for obvious reasosn

Actually, now that I think about it, I know we've gotten questions where people wanted to identify a game from a song, but I can't think of other specific questions that went the other way

@Memor-X I know, but there was a flag so I was just double checking.

@murgatroid99 I just remembered the song question that got closed and it was asking if there were lyrics to the angry birds song, so it was a diff type of question anyways

> well the timelines get HARDER as they go deeper and deeper into the tingleverse and techincally the hardest timeline is THE TINGULARITY i have never gone that far down as I am worried I would not make it back. the farthest i have visited is the timeline where all language is the word butt and there channing tatum makes up most of reality

This is amazing

@Vemonus well the point i was making is that the flag may not be at all accurate. the actual vote you can hope to assume that the voter has had some experience to know what is and isn't off-topic

Chuck Tingle is one of my favourite humans

@fredley It's fantastic.

Chuck tingle is the hero we need in these times of existential dread

Wait why are we still in times of existential dread? 2016 is over??

@Vemonus because Trump is going to be promoted from President-elect to President

@Vemonus Because the worst things that happened in 2016 were just setup for 2017 being terrible

@Vemonus Yeah. It's a good thing that all of the problems of the world are wiped away at the arbitrary time that we have chosen as the boundary between two complete orbits of the earth around the sun

@murgatroid99 which isn't actually accurate because we have leap years and leap seconds to make up the inaccuracy generated

so technically we were still in the 2016 orbit when 2017 started

It doesn't make sense to say that we were in the 2016 orbit, when the only thing that distinguishes 2016 from 2017 is what we call it

Of course, there's the fact that different parts of the world switch at different times, depending on a different arbitrary timekeeping choice, but that's a separate issue

@Ash You're such a fanperson

@Ash Well, I just did, so clearly I can

I CAN DO WHAT I WHAT YOU'RE NOT MY DAD

or something

Yes

IN OTHER NEWS

I must go buy popcorn. I want to have snacks for the LTTP race tonight.

cc @Unionhawk

@Wipqozn IN OTHER NEWS

Be careful, it's a jungle out there

Hmm... can I use an <img> element to display the image data retrieved from a <canvas> element with canvas.getContext('2d').getImageData(...).data?

@SaintWacko it's pretty much like f.lux

@Wipqozn Something something 1939.

"It's not the literal apocalypse so it can't be a bad year"

@Yuuki It's probably easier to toDataUrl() the canvas

@TimStone Huh. Didn't know that existed.

Does the canvas element have to be attached to the DOM to get image data from toDataUrl()?

Uhhhhh I don't know. I don't think so, but

Oh, I see what's happening.

Today on When Pigs Fly, Fox News defends CNN against a Republican president.

@arda "animated image"

Alternately, "Graphical Interchange Format".

@Yuuki gifs are not necessarily animated

@Yuuki dude pigs have a fucking space program at this point

what's the name of the main guy from Hackers?

@TimStone You have to be really angry to accept destruction of property liability just to get back at someone

@Memor-X Zero Cool

@murgatroid99 i mean his real name

@murgatroid99 Right? Wonder if it was about more than a phone plan, heh

@Memor-X IMDb says it's "Dade"

@murgatroid99 ok thanks

oh my fuck this is good

@arda @GodEmperorDune

well snap

fuck stomach cramps and allergies at the same time

TIL that BOI doesn't support gamepads really

not the original at least

WELL THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP @BADP GOD

GOOOOOOOIOD

"use joy2key"

yeah I know that NOW

thanks @badp

@Sterno Looks like the time to get back to Dishonored 2 is fast approaching

@Wipqozn nope

I thought the Nintendo Switch presentation was today.

@Frank It is, it just doesn't start until the middle of the night

Seriously, it starts at 11:30pm my time

@Wipqozn Seriously? That's not the 12th in Japan.

@Frank Yolo?

@Ash I'll trust that one

So midnight

Aka I'll see tomorrow

Aka Yolo

That's like 3 hours past @Wipqozn's bedtime
