@InvaderSkoodge This is all your fault!
I probably ruined TF2 for everyone on the site by accident :(
I dont even know how to check what tags I've added as favourite
if any
@InvaderSkoodge Yes, you did! That's why I had to leave the site. :(
2
@InvaderSkoodge You probably did it when you went crazy and became a unicorn.
(Since I still play TF2 and all)
and I even have code sitting in front of me related to TF2.
14:05
@OrigamiRobot I don't like thinking about those times.
woo
You've earned the "Excavator" badge for How do I delete my Facebook account?
@InvaderSkoodge I blame the media
Why does AskUbuntu have a 'community evaluation' queue but we don't?
@OrigamiRobot You're just trying to find someone else to blame but yourself because you know it was your fault and you can't handle the responsibility.
About this queue: This review queue appears periodically on sites to evaluate the overall quality of the Q&A. After a few days, this queue will disappear until it is time for the next quality review.
14:09
IT'S NOT MY FAULT I JUST WANTED YOUR PIG BACK T_T
@OrigamiRobot I think @InvaderSkoodge should return to riding the pig also
@pixel It's the self-evaluation thingy which the community manager goes through with some of the sites. They used to do this by posting a meta post with a lot of answers, and ask for evaluation in the comments
I guess they moved it to the review queue
@pixel Oh, I just figured it was because Ask Ubuntu is a sponsored site
@Powerlord AU isn't actually sponsored. They did collaborate with Canonical when they created it
@InvaderSkoodge What would you do if Gaming became sponsored by EA?
14:13
@OrigamiRobot leave
@OrigamiRobot Like you had to even ask?
Sponsored in the financial sense, that is
abandon the whole of stack exchange for being willing to stoop so low
@pixel SO did partner up with Facebook
don't tell me things like that
14:15
They created facebook.stackoverflow.com to replace Facebook's developer forums
@Powerlord I just want to see his response.
@YiJiang Last I checked, that just applies a filter to stackoverflow on the Facebook tag.
The results were... pretty bad. Not sure if that's the fault of Facebook, or more of a reflection of how poor your average Facebook API using developer though
@Powerlord It's a little more complicated that that. The most important thing is that all developers who try to get help on Facebook's developer portal, other than the ones reporting bugs, will be redirected to Facebook.SO
@OrigamiRobot Do not try to give me nightmares like this.
@YiJiang That would be something done on Facebook's side.
14:17
@YiJiang 18k unanswered. Wow.
Having said that, it'd be just as easy to directly to a non-domain url.
Out of only 44k total
Nearly half of questions go unanswered. If it was a beta it would have been burninated by now.
we still have 1200 unanswered questions
@GrayStoat Well Facebook questions already performed poorly on SO.
I keep going through them every now and again but they're pretty much all games I haven't played
14:19
When they first introduced it there was a flood of Facebook users trying to get help on using Facebook
@YiJiang I think the idea was FB devs would hang around helping people. But they didn't.
@YiJiang Some still do, and on Meta!
@GrayStoat Yeah, they didn't. There was a burst of activity at the start, but now only 2-3 do so actively
Which is great since I love deleting things.
@YiJiang It's a great idea for api support, just terribly handled.
Which sucks for SE as it's likely that FB's failure to provide effective support over SE will reflect badly on them.
wrt other companies trying the same thing.

Q: Is it time to re-evaluate the Facebook-Stack Overflow partnership?

BK.It has been 6 months since the Facebook-StackOverflow partnership and mini-site were launched. Is there any data that can be shared publicly about whether the Facebook mini-site has been a success or a failure? To me, it has generally felt like there has been little, and now dwindling, support...

Look at Joel's answer. I don't think much has changed since then
For those of you who have more search-fu than me, I'm not sure how to handle this:

A: Is there Any Way to Unlock the locked cars in NFSHP 2010 in any race

BumbleBeefor Unlocking Cars you have to just download a file from Download link given in this Page. After that you have to do whatever written in description in that page. UPDATED: 1) Just go through this page and you will find only one download link in this page. Just click on that. 2) you will find...

Funny, the most up-voted answer on facebook.SO is by someone who clearly shouldn't be in the business of writing programs yet. If ever.
On the one hand, it's basically a link-only answer. On the other, it's a method of answering the question that's, "Go here, download this and install it."
And we don't allow attachments, so he sort of has a point.
@MartinSojka Link?
14:23
@fbueckert It's an answer.
So many dead soldiers

Q: What does a Ajax call response like 'for (;;); { json data }' mean?

mridkash Possible Duplicate: Why do people put code like “throw 1; <dont be evil>” and “for(;;);” in front of json responses? I found this kind of syntax being used on Facebook for Ajax calls. I'm confused on the for (;;); part in the beginning of response. What is...

Link-only answer isn't just "this uses a link, it's bad", it refers to when a user provides an outside source which answers the question (gamefaqs, wikipedia, et cetera), but doesn't post an except of relevant information.
The answer in this case is using a program to solve the OPs problem. He's obviously going to need to provide a link for that. The link is just a side-effect to the solution: The program.
@Wipqozn Even when the source is something that cracks the game and allows access to (what I assume is) paid content?
@Sterno It's still 7.86:1 kill:death ratio. Grats, you did well.
14:25
From that page:
> This adds cars from pre-order DLCs, Limited Edition and SCPD Rebels DLC pack.
Oh, in that case delete it.
@Wipqozn You also answered the general link-only question I had, too.
@Sterno Congrats!
@InvaderSkoodge All I see is image not found with "So many dead soldiers" under it. It took me a minute to make sense of you saying "Congrats"
@OrigamiRobot You can also view it here
14:32
Nope
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, I'm just worried that I can't enumerate them myself on the top of my tongue without a rather painful trip to meta. :P
@Sterno Bit.ly says that url's wrong.
@Wipqozn Also, in HM news, fertilizing your crops is a massive money-losing operation.
How about now?
@Sterno You should know better than to try bit.ly links on Friday!
14:37
I know better than to click @Sterno links on Friday
Or everyone should know better than to follow any of your links, anyways.
@fbueckert Oh, please. If they clicked on the one that didn't work, they clicked on that one too.
Sterno, this stopped being funny a couple years ago. Thanks for trying anyway
There is no they. I am not clicking a bit.ly link at work and not one from you ever.
14:40
@Sterno Which reminds me, have any of you seen Space Janitors?
I think it's still up on The Escapist. If not, it's moving to Geek and Sundry's Youtube channel.
First season is on The Escapist; the version on Geek & Sundry is "remastered", though I don't think they re-shot much if anything of it.
It started off a bit weak and predictable, but it got better with time.
@Powerlord No. Is there a character named Roger Wilco?
@MartinSojka Geek and Sundry has only posted episode 1, so if they do change anything, I'd think it'd appear in the later, longer episodes (of which there are only 8)
@Sterno No, but it IS a comedy.
Basically, it's about the Empire's Janitors. On the Death Star.
Well, OK, they use different names than Death Star and Stormtroopers, but meh.
My favourite remix
It really resonates when you're a few minutes in
I will listen when I'm not at work
14:48
@fbueckert I think it only makes sense on regrowing crops.
@Wipqozn It may not even make sense there.
@pixel It's awesome
I don't think turtle poop makes a good fertilizer anyway.
The increased sale price gained may not offset the cost of the fertilizer. I'm going to do it anyways, though, so I can give you a definitive answer.
14:50
@Wipqozn 'shopped
But only to place the scene in NI, rather than the Ukraine
Another awesome track
@GrayStoat YOu kids.
Well, time to prepare for class.
The first takeaway with fertilizer is that if you don't hit the threshold (the quality increase), the fertilizer is wasted.
15:03
@Wipqozn I read that as "time to prepare for coins"
@fbueckert I personally think it's best to maximize crop quality until you can turn them into seeds when you get the seed maker. Initially it's a loss, but once you get to higher star ranked seeds you will see a better (and better quality fields) ROI. Especially when you start getting big and giant crops (affected by seed quality)
@Krazer At the beginning, the only use of fertilizer that I see is for crop festivals.
Other than that, until you get the Seed Maker, it's a huge waste of cash.
I just read STATE_REEDIT_PENDING as STATE_REDDIT_PENDING in one of our Java apps. >_<
@Powerlord Feed it more blue links
@fbueckert But the festivals help build your crop brand giving you a bit more margin to work with. Most of it's "free" goodies.
15:11
@Krazer I'll use your Cabbage values as an example.
At 5 stars, Cabbages are worth 1,050G, right?
@fbueckert aye
@Powerlord I would've done the same
At a single star, they're worth 450G. 600G difference.
Speaking of Reddit I wish RES stopped already welcoming me
That means, in order to turn a profit from increasing crop quality, you'd have to spend less than 150G on fertilizer per star. Correct?
15:14
@Matthew So if I happen to be interested in farming wheat, and you happen to know about farming wheat, we can talk about that on gaming? No one can tell us what to discuss on our site. You're a farming expert, and your voice will be heard. — Invader Skoodge Apr 28 '11 at 19:09
When I said this, I thought I was being facetious.
I didn't know we would actually turn into a farming site.
@InvaderSkoodge Welcome to Harvest Moon, Strix.
@InvaderSkoodge Welcome to Farming Simulator 2013, Strix.
I think I mentioned how that was a real game that you can buy on Steam ;)
@Powerlord Yeah; Strix linked that to me when I asked for a HM-esque game for PC. :P
@StrixVaria No, it doesn't. This site is never going to be home to a large group of users who want to talk about farming here. Closing offtopic is for outliers, the people who show up and start talking about what most everyone else doesn't want to talk about. — Matthew Read Apr 28 '11 at 19:14
Hey @GrayStoat, I see you have offered help in the past for setting up something for the Arqadecommunity/stackgaming.com domain. Would this offer still be open?
15:15
> This site is never going to be home to a large group of users who want to talk about farming here.
I'm done now.
Oh look, RES finally got up to speed about the constant RES welcoming spam
@InvaderSkoodge I didn't realize four people counts as a large group of users.
IT'S STILL IRONIC OK
@InvaderSkoodge It is indeed.
Doesn't stop me from being pedantic. :P
We should clearly talk about Team Fortress 2.
15:17
I'm not actually bothered by it; your conversation just reminded me of that argument from way back.
For instance, I still have like 4 extra Cursed Medic Souls in my inventory.
@Powerlord Yeah! So I've opened a secondary account to farm more hats. It's working!
and yet, no Cursed Sniper, Cursed Heavy, or Cursed Engineer souls.
@RedRiderX Yarp
@badp I taught you well!
15:17
@Powerlord heh, I farmed three pyro souls myself.
Speaking of which, I haven't logged into my alt account this week to idle for hats.
Which means I'll need to idle twice as long.
One of them was haunted, and apparently this means they're worth more
although there's like no real reason for it. I guess they just take longer to farm.
@InvaderSkoodge like rain on your wedding day?
The souls were pretty low on the backpack.tf site last I checked, although the Haunted ones were over 1 ref.
@pixel Luckily my wedding will be indoors.
15:18
@InvaderSkoodge free ride, when you've already paid?
0
Q: "Access Early" What does it do?

MegadragZI'm thinking of Accessing early the AMR (Anti-Materiel Rifle), but i'm not sure if it unlocks permanently and i can later purchase it with GP or it is just for 1 day then it locks again, I'd Really apreciate it if you'd help me. Thank You, -Mega

@InvaderSkoodge good advice that you just didn't take?
I have no clue what you're talking about now.
@Powerlord heh, I gave my extra haunted pyro for two normal ones. However two of my souls were haunted and I kept the last haunted for myself, so, uh, I guess I've cut on the loss?
@InvaderSkoodge or like a black fly in your Chardonnay?
15:19
@badp btw, did you see how the Botkiller weapon market is starting to crash due to the Uber canteen exploit in MvM?
Oh right, TF2 update coming today.
Are these lyrics or something?
@fbueckert I agree growing crops also makes a lot of money, animals do as well, but making money is still absurdly easy in this game. You don't have to specifically focus on crops. You can grow fodder for free money, by buy grass seeds and cut them every day to sell. When you have the iron axe, you can chop down trees to get lumber and sell that for 100g per lumber, which is ~1000g per tree. You can use this extra profit to cover the fertilizer costs.
@Powerlord I wasn't aware of this exploit
This one was delayed by an entire week.
15:20
@badp I need to buy a Botkiller Minigun before the market recovers.
I haven't been checking the TF2 reddit too much as of late, Borderlands 2 and other stuff took my attention away
I think Carbonado Botkiller Minigun is like 1.33 ref now
@Krazer I'm not saying making money isn't easy.
I have a carbonado knife
and that's what I have
I'm talking about self-sufficiency.
15:21
Well, the regular Strange Minigun hasn't been available since crate 19 and is 7 ref.
So... getting a Strange Carbonado for like 1/6 that is... well, strange.
@Powerlord I see where you're going here
@pixel I thought it was one of hers.
The cost to upgrade a crop, without a Seed Maker, outweighs the sale price. Which results in a net loss of cash.
@Powerlord Heh, so is giving a ton more value to haunted masks
I don't usually know lyrics.
15:21
@GrayStoat Great! I've been working on something that might make a good front page for the domain, but I'm still not sure what the best choice is for the backend systems.
I was wondering if you could help.
Anyway, I traded my Strange Festive Knife for a Strange Sapper and clean Ebenezer.
@RedRiderX Yup
I didn't want to start over from my Strange Knife (since it had like 2000 kills)
What kind of thing are we running? Chances are, we can bodge up Wordpress to suit our needs
At least highly lucky botkiller weapons look different.
15:22
@fbueckert I agree with you here. But the festivals do help offset some of the cost, but not completely. There's also cooking to~
@GrayStoat That's what I was hoping for, I'll show you what I have now...
Strange Festive Knife was worth like 24 keys... ridiculous since the only time it's visible is right after you stab someone.
@Powerlord I've been pining for a strange sapper myself, but I pulled out of tf2wh completely and the feeling of trading with actual human beings twists my stomach
My Strange Sapper already ranked up like 5-6 times.
I guess that with 35 ref I'd probably be able to afford one?
15:23
This is the last mockup:
@RedRiderX Basically, if we want a few static pages > Wordpress, if we want a few static pages and a blog/news feed > Wordpress
If we want app logic > Something else
@Krazer True. And that's what I'm analyzing.
@badp: Well, Strange Festive Knife was worth about 24 keys. Strange Sapper about 16 keys. Clean Ebenezer about 8 keys. So, when someone responded to my trade with that I said sure.
So far, I've found that leaving crops at a base .5 stars, and cooking them into something increases value.
15:24
And this is code as of 5 minutes ago:
@RedRiderX Wordpress. I can get the bones of this up in an afternoon
Plus, if Ebenezer isn't available this year, it'll go up in value next month.
I may have some time this weekend
@Powerlord I'm kind of hoping that festives don't return this year, but that might be foolish
that said a normal festive wrench, which is what I have, wouldn't sell for much anyway
15:25
Prefer this one
@badp I wish I'd gotten my Strange Sapper before crate #49 came out. When numbers got near #50, the prices of those Stranges all went up.
@GrayStoat Great, one of the main things that has perplexed me is what to use for New Event Idea proposals.
Then again, Strange Festives and regular Festives are going up in price, too.
@RedRiderX There's almost certainly a Wordpress plugin for that
Hell, my Strange Festive Knife was probably worth more than my Unusual Dread Knot w/ Orbiting Flames.
15:26
@Powerlord Sounds logic.
Also, I got fairly lucky with my crafting spree at the start of the Halloween event. No new (and thus craft numbered) hats, but I got an All-Father (valued at 6 keys?) and Area 451 (valued at 3 keys?)
@GrayStoat Really? Well, that sounds good, I don't have much experience extending Wordpress like this unfortunatly. :P
uh, I guess I already sold my festive wrench
@RedRiderX I do. I managed one WP installation with over 50 plugins. That was fun.
My alt account still has some extra Festives that I should sell at some point.
15:27
@Powerlord I got a Kringle Collection from a random drop and call myself content
@RedRiderX Anyway, are you around this evening/tomorrow? Might have a few hours to get the basics done.
@badp I think that one's still pretty valuable.
@GrayStoat I can imagine.
backpack.tf says 5+ keys
Wow, Festive Scatterguns currently sell for 4-5 keys and I have two extras?
Shit, I should sell all 3.
15:29
@fbueckert depending on how you play the pacing can be slow... the first spring is extremely slow. then when summer hits and all hell breaks loose. However, once you get to town renovation 4 and you have to wait 3 months just for the garden show requirement... also mining sucks in this game
I should sell all my festives... I prefer having stranges anyway.
Sell ALL the things.
@Krazer I haven't even unlocked the mine yet, and I'm about halfway through Summer year 1.
I guess I broke GW2
@GrayStoat Around this time tomorrow work?
15:32
@badp Must... resist... temptation.
@badp That happens from time to time when the server load is high.
@RedRiderX This time tomorrow not so good, either earlier than this tomorrow, this evening, or maybe Sunday
and now I'm going to leave for class.
@fbueckert I'm on Spring 25, Year 2, renovation plan 4. With two dogs, one cat, two cows, one sheep, one alpaca, one yak, four chickens (two Silkie), one horse, ~700k gold, ~20 villagers.
15:39
@Krazer I haven't even started on creating the stuff for town revitalization yet.
@Wipqozn I also liked the bump to level 80 really
I've been focused on figuring out how much fertilizer helps increase crop values.
Bleah. Trying to convert C++ to SourcePawn is such a pain.
@GrayStoat I'll assume your time zone is GMT, yes?
Or from any OO language to a procedural language.
15:42
@RedRiderX Yup
@fbueckert I highly recommend it, The Architect and Black smith will help a lot.
@Krazer Oh, I think I've gotten all the plans from the blacksmith.
I have the blueprints for the tools straight up to Ultra.
@GrayStoat This evening might work... about 8-9PM your time?
@RedRiderX Yeah, should be ok
@GrayStoat Good. Should I make a GitHub repo or something in case you want to see this code yourself?
15:48

Q: people dont understand - what should i do?

Xitcod13I have posted a question on arqade couple days ago and it was closed soon after. The reason for closing states: closed as not a real question by OrigamiRobot, fbueckert, ChrisF, Krazer, CyberSkull 19 hours ago It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, ...

ugh, the original question is about starcraft so I automatically give up on making judgement calls
@RedRiderX Whatever suits you, github is fine
@Lazers The original question seems a bit too specific.
He's asking for Jaedong's build orders, rather than good zerg build orders against protoss in general, which is a more useful question.
@GrayStoat I guess the images might be a issue.
@RedRiderX What are we running the server on?
@RedRiderX I am a Photoshop God. I can handle images.
15:53
@GrayStoat No, I meant image licence.
@GrayStoat Unix-like, I guess.
LOL. Fall damage scales with level in GW2
@RedRiderX In what way?
@badp For some reason I didn't expect there to be any fall damage at all. That was the first time I died.
Would type of licence would you prefer for the logo you designed, @Krazer?
@InvaderSkoodge Well, at level 80 (to which you're promoted automatically while in the "nexus") you can easily take fall damage in the 3k-8k's (to instant death)
15:55
@RedRiderX @Krazer cc-by-nc-sa?
(as in thousands of hit points)
@GrayStoat @Krazer made the Arqade Community logo, so I just wanted to get his say.
heh, just dropped from a ship to the ground and from 16,192 to 171.
@RedRiderX Fair enough, thought you mean SE branding, but we're not using anything current are we?
The badges I guess, but I think we're fine there.
@GrayStoat Shouldn't be, the background is literately two pixels, so I doubt that would count.
@GrayStoat There are the various icons and such, for services and servers.
15:58
@RedRiderX Yeah. Bg is def not an issue. @Jin do you mind if we use your badge icons, or shall we come up with something different?
Uh, there's falling damage but you can't drown. I'm cool with that
