Fluttershy

4:00 PM

@OrigamiRobot Oh. Well then... This is awkward.

kalina

is grumpybot denying his everlasting love for MLP again?

OrigamiRobot

@kalina I have seen nothing of the show that I enjoy and enough of the fandom to want to stay away.

fredley

OrigrumpyRobot

kalina

@OrigamiRobot every body loves MLP, the only variable is how much you advertise the fact

badp

@fredley Good, now run this into the ground with a 20 hour extended version. Go!

Wipqozn

4:03 PM

@Fluttershy It's also really funny.

OrigamiRobot

@kalina I have no problem advertising the things I enjoy.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot you are in denial

OrigamiRobot

Of what?

kalina

your MLP love

badp

your negative MLP love

OrigamiRobot

4:04 PM

If you'll recall, I never said I wouldn't like the show if I watched it.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Is it true that if you edit in links for a new user who can't post links, and afterwards the new user wants to edit his post, he can't without editing out all the links again?

Powerlord

I suppose now would be a bad time to mention I've watched every episode of the series?

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Assuming of course that the new user is still new

badp

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I dunno, we could do some science about it

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Uh... how?

Powerlord

4:06 PM

Although apparently new episodes start airing again tomorrow?

Q: Blizzard Download: This download is not authorized

I'm on Windows 7. When I download Starcraft Anthology from the website and try to install it on my computer I get the error "This download is not Authorized" followed by "There was a problem authenticating your download. Please go to http://www.blizzard.com/account/ to start a new download." I'...

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@Powerlord Yes.

Powerlord

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Yes, that's true.

fbueckert

Aww. Alphas got cancelled.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Hmmm, maybe I shouldn't have edited in all those "Google References" then

fbueckert

4:08 PM

That means Gary the autistic is the only one out of the entire team that survived.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert What? Noooooooooooo

I thought MLP was some creepy sex-slake for humans with beast thirst

Q: What items do I need to play MvM?

I keep getting whined at because when I play scout I don't use the Mad Milk and when I play Soldier I don't use the Buff Banner. It's not like I don't want to use them, I just don't have them! What items do people expect me to have and use in TF2 Mann vs Machine?

@tiddy wat

Powerlord

@badp List question, opinionated

badp

4:09 PM

Uh, I never knew this was a thing

@Powerlord Less than I wish it was

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Uh, what links should it have?

badp

@YiJiang'sEvilClone uh, just add a couple, then I'll revert

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Done

badp

@Powerlord besides it's pretty much Mad Milk, Fan o' War, Buff Banner, Kritzkrieg, Jarate, (maybe) ScoRes. Can't think of much else

Powerlord

Basically, in MvM you want to use things that slow enemies, do damage, and/or ciritical hits.

badp

4:11 PM

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Edited succcessfully

theory disproven

science: acquired

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert Was it not getting good enough ratings or something?

Fluttershy

@Powerlord Game. Set. Match.

Powerlord

I wonder if they ever fixed penetration being able to be applied to the Huntsman.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Are you sure the limit is less than three links?

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot No idea. I know I loved it.

Powerlord

4:11 PM

Granted, it's hilarious to shoot an arrow through a bunch of Scout bots and kill them all.

badp

@YiJiang'sEvilClone The limit is 1 link

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Oh, okay

Powerlord

@badp I thought it was 2 links.

badp

@Powerlord Oh, yeah, 2 links.

gaming.stackexchange.com/privileges/new-user

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert Me too. Gary was the best.

badp

4:12 PM

Now to fix the alter ego

Fluttershy

I knew badp had a sock puppet!

OrigamiRobot

@Powerlord I thought you were going to make it.

@Fluttershy I always though @badp was @GnomeSlice's sockpuppet!

Fluttershy

@OrigamiRobot Why would you ever think that? O_o

fredley

@bapd ok.

Fluttershy

I wonder if badp's sockpuppet is GnomeSlice...

fredley

4:16 PM

Badps sock puppet is labelled clearly

OrigamiRobot

@Fluttershy Because I like to stir up trouble.

StrixVaria

@Fluttershy This would have been plausible until @GnomeSlice renamed himself to @SexRobot.

Fluttershy

@OrigamiRobot Such a rebel.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria Which he should have been forced to keep.

Fluttershy

4:17 PM

@StrixVaria Why would that make it unplausible?

Powerlord

So, anyway, I need to make up for not talking about TF2 for an entire day.

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot Yeah I was upset when they mod-magicked it back.

Fluttershy

@Powerlord Out of curiosity, if you had been successful, what game would you have wanted?

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@StrixVaria Utter stupidity is a valid reason for engaging Super Mod Powers, I guess

Powerlord

@Fluttershy Most expensive one EVAR!

(I have no idea)

fbueckert

4:19 PM

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, he should have. Maybe being banned for a month or two would have taught him something.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert I like @Fluttershy's method.

Fluttershy

@Powerlord Well now I'm just gonna continue being curious...

@OrigamiRobot My method? Of what?

Powerlord

@Fluttershy Also, with TF2, I find it's good to start as one of the medium-speed classes. Medic's usually good because you tend to follow other players around, although being a Medic makes you a high-priority target.

OrigamiRobot

If @GnomeSlice can go for an entire day without swearing, I will buy him any one game he wants from Steam. Starting when he next says something. Swears that are edited still count.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot don't limit it to swears

badp

4:21 PM

OrigamiRobot

@kalina Baby steps.

kalina

if gnomeslice can go a full day without swearing or linking something

^

OrigamiRobot

@kalina Baby steps!

fredley

Lol, impossible

but fun to watch

kalina

and make sure you buy him a game that is HUGE

like RAGE

so he won't ever be able to download it

fredley

4:22 PM

watching GnomeSlice digging holes is the best

OrigamiRobot

Someone should pin that so he is sure to see it.

Fluttershy

@kalina That. Is. BRILLIANT!

Also, @kalina pin it!

kalina

sounds like abuse

but ok

fredley

Abuse from non-mods?

Fluttershy

@kalina Pinning messages isn't abuse.

fbueckert

4:24 PM

@OrigamiRobot The fun bit is that chances are good he's going to say something offensive regardless, so he'll get flagged, and then he'll start swearing.

kalina

@Fluttershy if I started pinning every message then it devalues the point of pinning!

fredley

It's passive aggressive abuse

OrigamiRobot

Uh oh, the edits clause isn't visible.

@fbueckert His loss.

Fluttershy

@kalina Pinning a message that needs pinning isn't abuse.

fredley

damn mobile chat's lack of replies

kalina

4:25 PM

@Fluttershy blah

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot This means 24 consecutive hours from his first message? There are too many loopholes.

Powerlord

btw, does anyone know if it's true that this season of FIM is only 13 episodes long?

Fluttershy

@Powerlord I've done my absolute best with the Medic... Just healing the Heavy. I do decent with the Pyro.

StrixVaria

He should just post "challenge accepted" and then disappear for 24 hours.

murgatroid99

@Powerlord It is

Powerlord

4:25 PM

@Fluttershy Pyro is a good starting class, but the lack of ranged attacks kinda hurt.

Ben Brocka

@Fluttershy Same here. I think my record score was due to a 2Fort round where we turtled like bastards

Powerlord

@murgatroid99 That sucks... we're already done with 9 episodes and episode 10 is tomorrow. :|

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria I doubt he could manage even that. Even so, I reserve the right to void the agreement if he does something against the spirit of the contest.

murgatroid99

@Powerlord Yes. Tomorrow's episode is going to be a big one, though. And I didn't realize you were a brony

Powerlord

@BenBrocka That's standard for 2fort.

fredley

4:27 PM

@Ori this is inevitable

kalina

@OrigamiRobot you should have edited out the 'any one game he wants from Steam' and change it to 'any game from Steam'

Powerlord

Honestly, I think Double Cross is a better ctf map.

kalina

so that you can buy him a ridiculously large game that he can't download

Powerlord

Even if that pit in it is annoying.

fredley

@kal ABUSE

kalina

4:28 PM

I am not abusing anybody

OrigamiRobot

@kalina No, I am not trying to troll him.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot the force is not very strong in you

Powerlord

Lately, I've been playing DemoMan with the cannon and Chargin' Targe just for fun. If you hit someone with the cannon, they get sent flying, even if they're ubered.

fredley

@ori Fighting fire with fire?

OrigamiRobot

@kalina DON'T TALK ABOUT HOW STRONG MY FORCE IS

kalina

4:29 PM

@OrigamiRobot calling it 'force' is false advertising, I think you mean weakness

Ben Brocka

@Powerlord I forget the names, but my fav ctf map was player generated I think

OrigamiRobot

@kalina What are you talking about?

Ben Brocka

Something with two buildings and a canyon in the middle, I'd know it if I saw it

kalina

@OrigamiRobot for a robot you struggle a lot with comprehension -.-

fredley

@kal robots are notoriously bad at understanding humans

see: Turing test

kalina

4:31 PM

good point

being as this one is made out of paper though, I figured he was some sort of super advanced robot from the future

OrigamiRobot

@kalina Given the context of your statement, I don't understand what you are talking about. You're the one who said force.

@kalina I might not be made of paper.

fredley

@ori less of a force, more of an intention

kalina

@OrigamiRobot well you're either a really advanced robot made out of paper from the future, or a really obsolete paper folding robot from the distant past

OrigamiRobot

@kalina One of the two.

kalina

maybe

fredley

4:33 PM

@kal the latter is basically bender

kalina

you're a really advanced paper folding robot that makes robots made out of folded paper, from the future

OrigamiRobot

I wont say that's not a possibility.

Someone leaked the new simcity's tutorial

Fluttershy

Alright, To The Moon tomorrow... Gotta decide whether I want to work on BL2 or Dishonored tonight.

OrigamiRobot

@Fluttershy Did you fulfill your end of the Dishonored bargain?

Powerlord

4:36 PM

@Fluttershy 999! ;)

kalina

@YiJiang'sEvilClone woooooooooooooo

Fluttershy

@OrigamiRobot Working on it. Trying to figure out logistics.

OrigamiRobot

@Fluttershy Have it come to you first.

Fluttershy

@OrigamiRobot Oh, it is. It's the last bit I'm struggling with.

Q: Down-vote Override?

I assume most users at times have had submitted answered that they know are correct and have even...

Powerlord

@Fluttershy I thought you were already playing it.

Fluttershy

@Powerlord I am. Along with about 20 other games, plus The Cave next week and potentially Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite. <_<

user15026

@murgatroid99 oh lord.

fbueckert

@murgatroid99 "I'm right, and that means your opinion means nothing!"

Fluttershy

4:44 PM

@murgatroid99 That makes me want to go downvote every single question that says "Please explain your downvote."

Ben Brocka

Initiate downvote override, prepare closevote shield! WE'RE GOING DOWN FIRE THE META RANT

murgatroid99

@Fluttershy I'm pretty sure that on MSO they all get downvoted to about -15 and closed as a duplicate of a post that is already status-declined

OrigamiRobot

Speaking of controversy:

Fluttershy

@murgatroid99 I meant here. Questions here that have that in them. On the main site, not meta.

OrigamiRobot

Voting to close this based on this meta. There is no problem here that cannot be solved be reading the achievement in-game. — OrigamiRobot 1 min ago

cc: @Wipqozn

Fluttershy

4:47 PM

@OrigamiRobot I'm famous! Also, does the achievement say that Crystal isn't needed? Or does it not matter since there are 7 races?

murgatroid99

@Fluttershy Well, you could edit it out, then start downvoting if they revert

OrigamiRobot

@Fluttershy It specifically says you need six races.

murgatroid99

@Fluttershy It just says that you need 6, so implicitly you can get it with all but one of the species

@OrigamiRobot Technically, though, it is still useful information that there are seven races and that therefore you don't need a Crystal crew member

badp

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I guess that's the deal with the black stuff. It looked nice anyway.

Fluttershy

@OrigamiRobot Gotcha. I haven't actually seen the achievement, which is why I was asking.

OrigamiRobot

4:49 PM

@murgatroid99 That's fine, but that a different question and one that I think already exists.

Fluttershy

@murgatroid99 What if it was edited to be something more like "Does Crystal count toward the achievement?"

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@badp I actually think some of that might be encoding error

murgatroid99

@OrigamiRobot oh, well in that case I think it should be closed as a duplicate

badp

@YiJiang'sEvilClone It looks rather strategic as far as encoding errors go

murgatroid99

No, wait, that's not a different question. He's asking if you need a crystal crew member. The answer is "No, because there are 7 races"

GnomeSlice

4:50 PM

@StrixVaria It's not proof of anything

Fluttershy

@YiJiang'sEvilClone That wallpaper has been a smashing success with a few friends of mine. =P

OrigamiRobot

@murgatroid99 But it's not a duplicate. The question isn't about the existence of a 7th race. It is about a reading error.

GnomeSlice

Also, it wasn't me

> One of the Kestrel achievements 'The United Federation' mentions having a member of every species on your ship at the same time.

That is wrong.

murgatroid99

4:53 PM

@OrigamiRobot You can change the erroneous part of the question without invalidating the question or changing the spirit of the question

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot I don't want you to spend any money on me

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice Then stop ever asking anyone for money for games.

murgatroid99

He wants to know if he needs a Crystal crew member. Even if he had read the achievement correctly he still would not have all of the information he needed to know the answer to that question

OrigamiRobot

@murgatroid99 Then the question is pointless.

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot Well, yeah

Fluttershy

4:54 PM

@OrigamiRobot Fix'd.

StrixVaria

Did @GnomeSlice fail the challenge on literally the third message of the day?

murgatroid99

@OrigamiRobot How is it pointless? I'm saying that even if you remove that text entirely it's still a good question

Ender

@origami While your downvote made total sense, and I actually agree with it, that was hours ago. I'm kind of curious as to the situation of, others upvoted me, and now that Ive got upvotes on what is technically a bad question NOW you want to close it. I'm just sayin, it looks bad. lol. (im actually going to VTC as well because your right, it just LOOKS bad)

OrigamiRobot

@murgatroid99 No, it's not. Why would they not count?

Fluttershy

@OrigamiRobot I don't see it as pointless. It's just asking "Does Crystal count as a species toward the achievement?" Since Crystal is apparently a secret race, it seems perfectly reasonable.

Ronan Forman

4:56 PM

Hi @Ender

GnomeSlice

guys, guys

Ender

@ronan Hey! glad you got my previous msg. So yea, What mods to I need to be able to join you guys

GnomeSlice

The Journey Down: Chapter 1 is on sale on Steam.

Any fans of Monkey Island should play it immediately.

Fluttershy

@GnomeSlice slowpoke.jpeg

OrigamiRobot

@Ender Because I remembered the meta post that I referenced.

GnomeSlice

4:57 PM

@Fluttershy It's on sale. 20% off

Ender

@Origami ahh. convienient memorization. I like it. ;-)

murgatroid99

@OrigamiRobot The question is "Do I need crystals?", which is not the same as "Do crystals count?"

Ronan Forman

@Ender You just need to download the FTB launcher and click on the direwolf20 pack.

GnomeSlice

I haven't used Steam once since starting this semester so I'm slow, sorry.

OrigamiRobot

@murgatroid99 No it absolutely is not.

Fluttershy

4:57 PM

@GnomeSlice As opposed to... What's it been on sale for this past week?

Ender

No seriously tho, origame is right. The only reason I didn't delete it after I asked it is cause The answerer was getting upvotes.

GnomeSlice

@Fluttershy I dunno, has it? I haven't been on Steam.

murgatroid99

@OrigamiRobot Now I'm confused. I'm saying that "Do I need crystals?" is both a good question and the question that was asked, so it should not be closed

Ender

@ronan is there a good detailed page that tells me what the mods add? I'm very picky about whats added to my game, I really prefer vanilla

Fluttershy

@GnomeSlice Pretty sure.

OrigamiRobot

4:58 PM

@murgatroid99 No it is not. There is no reason to think you do.

Ender

@murgatroid99 the question was originally about if I needed crystals to complete the acheivement, when i clearly do not, I just didn't read the acheivment clearly enough.

murgatroid99

@OrigamiRobot There is because the information that there are 7 species including the crystals is not given anywhere

Ronan Forman

@Ender Most of them are on the wiki and/or have their own wiki, but there aren't many mods that force things on you, manly it's just more things you can do.

murgatroid99

I don't remember seeing it, anyway

Powerlord

@Fluttershy Doesn't The Cave come out... tomorrow? I thought it was the 19th

@Fluttershy Shame on you for not making the title better. You're a monster.

Fluttershy

@Powerlord The 23rd.

Wipqozn

In other news, @OrigamiRobot, I think the edit is fine.

Fluttershy

@Wipqozn Eh?

Ender

@ronan thanks much

OrigamiRobot

4:59 PM

@murgatroid99 Even more reason for the question to be pointless. If someone doesn't know about crystals, why do they need to know if they are required?
