@StevenVascellaro Cannot merge while a synonym exists between simcity-2013 and simcity

Steven Vascellaro

I didn't even realize [simcity-2013] was a pre-existing synonym

badp

the synonyms haven't affected anything in the last 2 years

which is somewhat amusing

Steven Vascellaro

You mean literally nobody has used the [simcity-2013] tag?

badp

that's what it says? I think

these might only be the server-side renames however

BlueBarren

the internet is letting me down

badp

17:08

anyway I can swap the synonym with a click

Avery

@BlueBarren what's new?

badp

reportedly.

BlueBarren

why is it so hard to find out how to make my web app prompt for credentials?

badp

and merge with another with a few more clicks

Avery

@BlueBarren which thing? uh, server?

Steven Vascellaro

17:09

@badp That's neat. I was actually just about to ask if I should put a bounty on this feature request meta.stackexchange.com/q/249979/351462

badp

you might be able to see the page too btw gaming.stackexchange.com/tags/…

DanmakuGrazer

Oh since we're talking tags

Avery

@badp I can

17:11

I hadn't slapped status-completed on meta in a while

DanmakuGrazer

Lazy

badp

@DanmakuGrazer I used to have push notifications

MadMAxJr

Just stamp it on several unrelated metas to make it look good.

badp

they took them away from me :°(

@MadMAxJr done on all of your meta questions

MadMAxJr

..... I have meta questions?

badp

17:13

no.

Steven Vascellaro

@badp Did you want me to edit the tag rename screenshot into my post, or did you want to make it its own answer?

badp

All zero of your meta questions.

@StevenVascellaro it's fine

but if you want to I'm not stopping you

MadMAxJr

You could add status-completed to The Bridge!

DanmakuGrazer

Yeah, we're done here

Avery

and remove bridge

BlueBarren

17:16

@Unionhawk I bet you that mask will have some ability that helps find Koroks

The things I do for you guys

Avery

I like it

BlueBarren

who's jin?

Avery

a designer

the designer

badp

@BlueBarren I like it more

BlueBarren

17:17

@badp than what?

Avery

the greatest designer*

badp

Jin ♦, Raleigh, NC

BlueBarren

@badp didn't realize that was going to happen

badp

@Avery what does that symbol mean again

Avery

17:18

@badp which one

the b&w one or..?

badp

his avatar

Avery

ah

one way to learn.

BlueBarren

so why the fandom for jin?

I realize designers are cool and all

it because of their love for bacon clearly indicated on their profile?

Water over fire?

Avery

17:20

(IDK)

badp

that's... pretty much...

an upside down bridge!

DanmakuGrazer

An upside down burning bridge

badp

well yes things have been on fire for ages

Avery

bridge is always on fire

RedRiderX

Oh it just links to that nvm

DanmakuGrazer

17:21

Everything is, after all, terrible

Avery

@RedRiderX hmm, I really like the message behind is picture TBH

badp

however

this is the Bridge of the Stack Exchange Ask Question Mothership

which is in space

and there is no up or down in space

djsmiley2k

there is, if u spin fast enough

DanmakuGrazer

Normal and anti-normal?

badp

so we might as well normalize

DanmakuGrazer

17:23

Radial and anti-radial?

Avery

insert quaternion magic

MadMAxJr

The Bridge is not linear.

SaintWacko

What on earth is going on here?

DanmakuGrazer

We're just burning bridges

badp

@SaintWacko @Jin is The Bridge

BlueBarren

17:24

An appropriate response

SaintWacko

@badp Ah, gotcha

badp

also, The Bridge, The Bridge, The Bridge is on Fire?

BlueBarren

@badp I'm going to need a bridge to cross all those bridges

Wipqozn

I miss @jin. He hadn't visited us in ages

BlueBarren

and the fire

Avery

17:24

god dammit

MadMAxJr

I vote to close the fire as disruptive.

Avery

I'm being kicked from the house, along with mom. 10/10.

badp

@MadMAxJr how can you disrupt, that which was never enrupted?

@Avery ...by whom? :o

BlueBarren

@badp landlord maybe?

probably?

Avery

@badp dad :)

badp

17:26

:( hopefully it's temporary.

BlueBarren

I'm getting mixed signals from the smiley face

Avery

unlikely.

@BlueBarren it's intended.

MadMAxJr

@badp We must send for the Closeomancer.

The Closeomancer and his Legion of the Downvote.

BlueBarren

@Avery :|

MadMAxJr

Dear chat moderation system, I'm not qualified to mod flags in Russian.

BlueBarren

17:30

Oh

I got an exception while querying the chat history

GodEmperorDune

@badp the enemy gate is down

BlueBarren

boy wouldn't it be nice to get one of these 500 rep bounty questions

to bad I'm kinda stupid

Steven Vascellaro

Now that the [simcity] retag is done, I can work on my next task. Trying to figure out if it's a good idea to split [super-smash-bros-4] into separate tags for WiiU/3DS

StrixVaria

@StevenVascellaro Let me save you some time. No.

Steven Vascellaro

@StrixVaria I mean, already the biggest issue is that [super-smash-bros-wiiu] is 26 characters

BlueBarren

17:35

@StevenVascellaro I would think most questions are applicable to both

Kevin van der Velden

@StevenVascellaro that is not the biggest issue

Steven Vascellaro

But I imagine it's going to be an issue if they ever port smash 4 to switch like Mario kart deluxe

BlueBarren

@StrixVaria oh you changed Pokemon again

[Super-Smash-Brose-4-Deluxe-for-the-Nintendo-Switch]

Avery

@Avery ok, he doesn't explicitly want me out but i'll probably get out on my own soon.

Steven Vascellaro

You'd be surprised how many questions specify "Wii U" in the title

BlueBarren

17:38

How many XO/PS4 games specify platform in the title?

Avery

@BlueBarren and @StrixVaria isn't a mongoose dog anymore, update your bio >_>

Steven Vascellaro

If [okami] and [okami-HD] can have separate tags, then dang it so can smash

StrixVaria

I am still a mongoose dog, just wearing a Beedrill costume.

2

BlueBarren

@Avery mongoose dog...?

Avery

@BlueBarren (bio on chat.stackexchange.com/users/129/strixvaria)

Steven Vascellaro

17:39

They are pretty drastically different. Different stages, different modes, different methods of unlocking characters, 8-player smash, different DLC stages, different compatible accessories....

Avery

@StrixVaria ah

Steven Vascellaro

Heck, even the single player modes are different

BlueBarren

@Avery I've never looked at that before

do most of you have something special in there?

GnomeSlice

Eek A Mouse - Schizophrenic.MP4

k den

BlueBarren

@StevenVascellaro I stand corrected

Avery

17:41

@BlueBarren I have pronouns, former names and a "don't be sad if I die dammit", 2 of our mods have inside memes of jmac, some have simple stuff about them or meh, random stuff.

wipqozn has the most meta one

BlueBarren

@Avery this resonates with me

I should put what I put in my Tinder bio there. "Owner of the Shrek bod"

or something about having a Shrek Body type

Steven Vascellaro

@BlueBarren As a temporary solution, I was planning on tagging version-specific questions with [wii-u] or [3ds]

Avery

@BlueBarren hm. Do you get any right swipes?

BlueBarren

@Avery occasionally

Avery

huh

GnomeSlice

17:45

@Avery I get lots

BlueBarren

@StevenVascellaro that's an alternative

@GnomeSlice I expected that

GnomeSlice

like a handful a day at least

@BlueBarren haha, I'm a nerd just like you, it's all about how you present yourself

Avery

@BlueBarren I'd superlike anyone with a bio of "Owner of the shrek bod" simply for the sake of memes 👍

BlueBarren

@GnomeSlice it's mostly about physical appeal

GnomeSlice

On tinder, yeah. A good picture is how you get most girls to actually look at your bio. Dudes with a bad bio won't get very far either though.

Avery

17:47

@GnomeSlice what's your bio though?

GnomeSlice

uhhhh

I forget, I didn't really work on it since deactivating it and reactivating it

BlueBarren

@Avery better you hope you only run into someone with a Shrek bod every 24 hours

Avery

@BlueBarren buys super likes

BlueBarren

@GnomeSlice I would say a bio is like 10-20%

@Avery forgot that's a thing

GnomeSlice

Yeah, it's mostly about how you conduct yourself in messages

BlueBarren

17:48

@GnomeSlice I can say for certain I definitely f--k that up

GnomeSlice

Haha

You get used to it

BlueBarren

I've had tinder for years

Steven Vascellaro

Oh, my tag edits got rejected, putting my account on a temporary edit ban. I guess I'm not retagging smash bros today. XD

GnomeSlice

I just reinsatalled the app and got 8 matches in a row

BlueBarren

Honestly though the biggest problem I have is the fact people expect conversation to driven by a single user

you can't talk to someone if they're not talking back

GnomeSlice

17:49

Don't bother with those people

not everyone is on tinder for the same reasons

BlueBarren

I never message someone "twice"

GnomeSlice

don't get hung up on people who clearly aren't interested or dont want to go anywhere with it

i have lots of female friends who just like reading the messages and never respond ever

BlueBarren

If you don't respond to me then I'll never message you again

GnomeSlice

@Avery

BlueBarren

still jokes on them when I get my 6 pack they'll regret not swiping right

the release of my 6 pack has the same date has Half-Life 3

GnomeSlice

17:51

er nevermind that's not what I meant to say

Avery

@GnomeSlice (wow you're shorter than me)

wait no

dammit imperial

2

BlueBarren

@Avery hi 5'11" person here

I just can't do the thing with words today

Avery

5'5"

or in NUMBERSTHATMAKESENSE, 165cm

GnomeSlice

@Avery was gonna say, I'm not shorter than most people lol

BlueBarren

for some reason I don't know my height and weight in metric

Avery

17:53

@GnomeSlice I read that as 5'2" at first heh

and was like wot

BlueBarren

I also don't actively measure myself

GnomeSlice

height seem to be a big deal on tinder

DanmakuGrazer

@badp You here?

Avery

but yeah your bio is a nice bio tbh.

badp

what happen

BlueBarren

17:55

@GnomeSlice well what I don't understand about that is that girls seem to want someone 6 foot plus but then if you look at their height they're like 5 nothing and it's like, does it matter? I'm taller than you, isn't that the point?

DanmakuGrazer

@badp gaming.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/12372/… Want to take a look at this if you're in the mood to clean up tags?

GnomeSlice

shrug, people are attracted to what they like

BlueBarren

@GnomeSlice at 5'11" aren't I one inch away from 6'?

GnomeSlice

you're probably fine

just put 6' on your bio

BlueBarren

see what happens

GnomeSlice

17:56

tinder is really shitty dude

BlueBarren

tbh I don't know if I could even meet with someone from tinder

GnomeSlice

most of the people who use it don't even have any intention of talking to or meeting anyone

@BlueBarren start with coffee or something, or just talk to some people for a while

badp

@DanmakuGrazer eeeeeeek

BlueBarren

@GnomeSlice I don't like coffee

GnomeSlice

Girls like coffee

get a hot chocolate or something

BlueBarren

17:57

yeah but I don't

GnomeSlice

depending on the girl go for a drink or something instead then

Kevin van der Velden

@GnomeSlice "3 billion people all like coffee"

BlueBarren

something something social anxiety

GnomeSlice

@KevinvanderVelden I was generalizing and you know it

BlueBarren

@GnomeSlice I don't like alcohol

GnomeSlice

17:58

@BlueBarren yeah well, that just takes time

badp

@DanmakuGrazer I would like to defer to @GraceNote on the subject but... RIP

Kevin van der Velden

=p

GnomeSlice

@BlueBarren it's literally the cure for social anxiety lmao

I started drinking and I mellowed way out

DanmakuGrazer

@badp It's okay if you don't feel like it at the moment

GnomeSlice

like I don't drink a LOT

BlueBarren

17:58

There's also this issue with me not caring

DanmakuGrazer

I just don't really know what to do with it now

BlueBarren

Like I don't care enough to go and meet any of these people

GnomeSlice

That's the only reason you need tbh

do what you want to do

BlueBarren

I'm not really worried about finding someone anyways

GnomeSlice

I was

for a long time

BlueBarren

17:59

well I mean I am in some regards

just not overall
