1:02 PM
I wonder if there isn't yet a port of Nethack for Excel... :P
 
oh no
my training queue will run out before I am home
whatamIgoingtodoooooooooooooooo
 
50GB in 10min... sometimes I think I have too many software to be installed o.O
 
@kalina did I or did I not suggest you took on a different game to fill in the spare time spare time?
(I'm assuming EVE isn't entirely unlike OGame where there's vast swaths of time spent waiting for countdowns to hit zero)
 
Current todo list:
1. Finish my stupid personal site
2. Write something on it
3. Find a printer to print out squashed Twilight bookmarks and a Pinkie Pie poster
4. Email the three startups I found for possible part-time / intern positions
5. Read up about Ruby on Rails development
6. Consider the fact that I'm going to be enlisted in May and cry
Doesn't have to be in that order though. I think I should just skip straight to number 6
 
You could fix 6 by preemptively blinding yourself.
 
1:08 PM
Should've reported myself as color blind or something
 
I assume you haven't had the physical examination yet
 
Have had already. Otherwise they wouldn't have sent me a date
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone You can still shoot people while color blind, don't think that would help
 
@badp you can sit there and watch timers tick down
 
Oh. Then you're fucked.
 
1:09 PM
when I'm really stoned I do that sometimes
but you can play the game while the timers are ticking down
 
@MadScientist Not being able to tell between green and red could be fairly hazardous in certain lines of work
@badp I reached that conclusion several months ago
 
my favourite passtime in EVE though is purchasing ships that I have the base skills to use but can't actually fit due to missing all the skills for the modules
and as such, I have a large number of expensive ships sat in a hanger waiting for a timer to tick down
 
@kalina And what do you do then, ship spinning?
 
I hope that's lingo for "flying in circles."
 
@MadScientist I fly around in nullsec in a pilgrim that has a covert ops cloak on it, but because my recon ships skill is only level 1 the covert ops cloak uses up 100% cpu so I can't fit any guns or afterburner
 
1:11 PM
Flying in circles is an obligatory experience in space games
 
I wish Playpark games could be downloaded via Steam
>.<
 
@badp In EVE online hangers you can spin the camera around your ship
That's ship spinning
 
I have a navy spec scorpion that I can't fit t2 guns on
so I follow caldari navy ships around and try to blend in
 
It's about as exciting as it sounds
 
I have a whole variety of arbitrators that I can fit, but that I don't like
 
1:12 PM
So how long until you buy a Titan you can't fit?
 
I'm not going to buy a titan
 
> John Kerry to write 'JK' after all of his State Dept. tweets
 
I actually wanted a curse
because it's blue
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone "I hate you all. lol JK"
 
I'm driving my friends nuts
 
1:13 PM
@kalina It'll give you a goal in the game
 
because I refuse to use ships that don't have a symmetrical design
 
Should start plotting that pyramid scheme sometime soon
 
so they're all like "maybe you should try <x>" -> "no its ugly"
I have another ship but I can't remember what it is
it left that good of an impression on me
 
I'm still mildly amused by the fact that for several hours the two WebRTC blog post held the same score on HN
 
I want a providence so I can transport the entire universe in one trip
@MadScientist I raised a bunch of EVE questions you may know the answers to
 
1:17 PM
I wish I had a 720 inch display — Jin 2 days ago
Hehehe, 720 inch display
Hmmm, can't see his name in autocomplete, but I'll try anyway.
@Jin Double underline bug on Seasoned Advice is still there
The text-decoration: underline on a:hover should be changed to border-bottom-style: solid
Or just remove the border-bottom property from .post-text a, .wmd-preview a
Here's an example of the bug (hover over the anchor)

Q: What is the orange coloured cream inside McAloo Tikki called and what are its ingredients?

Anisha KaulFrom: http://www.mcdonaldsindia.com/happy-meals-menu.html I have seen the onions, tomatoes, Aloo Tikki, and an orange coloured cream inside this burger. I wish to know what is that cream called and what are its ingredients?

 
@kalina That's all industry stuff, which I never did
 
@MadScientist sigh
anyway since you asked, my next major purchase is going to be a Widow blueprint
It will be a while yet though, since I have about 90 days left on actually being able to use one
and then probably another 90 days for the guns and ECM fittings
so I'll be able to use it next year
in other news, it is my birthday in 9 days
anyway time to go and aimlessly wander around London looking for food
back when I cease being lost
 
Widow also requires the jump drive skills to be useful, those are also not exactly short

Q: Is it possible to combine active and passive gems of different colors?

AntoI'd like to combine Item Rarity (passive blue) with my AoE Rain of Arrows (active green). Of course I can socket these gems the way I want, but will the Rain of Arrows benefit of the Item Rarity's boost ?

 
Boredom*
 
Scratch that, no amount of boredom would compel me to listen to Equestria Girls on a loop
I need to make a program that starts playing the song whenever I'm starting to slack off
 
Anyone with the "Bubonic" achiv? on X-COM
 
So I just dominated a self-proclaimed MLP hater
That's the second such incident now
If I'm not wrong, it's even the same guy
I recognize his Steam avatar
 
1:41 PM
Yow
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Not even Spice Girls ?
 
Equestria Girls is a parody of Katy Parry's California Gurls, created by the Hub for promo videos
 
Pony Style!
 
ft. Snoop Dragon
 
1:44 PM
This is made my a friend of mine who works with lasers (Laserpon3)
 
@BoltClock Actually?
Proposal: New chat room for pony chat
 
Proposal: new Q&A site for My Little Pony
 
@BoltClock going to sign up =)
 
Id /sign that!
mlp.stackexchange.com
 
The problem is everybody else says it's a duplicate of Sci-Fi & Fantasy
 
1:49 PM
@BoltClock Movie & TV, actually
 
@BoltClock ... uh... okay
I guess it's... fantasy?
 
Pony's aren't fantasy! Pony's are real animals too!
>:(
 
fact
 
It's not exactly stereotypically fantasy material though
But then again I guess Sci-Fi & Fantasy has low standards
 
1:51 PM
Im a fantasy.... Your wildest one ツ
 
chat goes downhill whenever I'm not present
 
Gah apple is infuriating
 
apples are infuriating, I always end up biting into the middle
 
@Ladineko You're reading too much shipfics
 
No @YiJiang'sEvilClone This is just my level of boredom xD
 
1:54 PM
Singing up for ios dev program. It takes days and various validations along the way. They just sent me an email saying I need to agree to another license agreement, but something's cocked up on their end and it says I'm activated, but I can't access anything, and the link to the agreement takes me to another page to buy the same thing again.
GGAAAAAHHH

Q: Is My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic canon with Star Trek?

Scott ChamberlainInspired by the various answers and questions about ET and Star Wars based on a cameo, I wanted to know is Star Trek and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic in the same Multiverse? Now before you go laughing me off of the internet I recommend you watch the following video. http://www.youtube.co...

 
singing?
 
Anyone here who plays Ingress?
 
I feel dirty now, having read that
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone You should.
 
1:55 PM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Great now they're shipping entire universes
 
I do have a question to ask though
But I have to ask it on SF&F, ugh
Why is life so unfair?
 
Is FLCL canon with MLP:FIM?
@fredley Apple does seem to actively hate iOS developers
 
@BenBrocka Apple hates developers
 
@fredley Apple hates everything.
2
 
They can't bring themselves to just let people write software for their things
@Ladineko The feeling is mutual
 
1:57 PM
If you want developer love, obviously you need to join the Microsoft camp
DEVEEELOPPPPPPERRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSS
 
@kalina lol, i love the comments : Deodarant,Deodarant,Deodarant,Deodarant
 
who are you and why have I never seen you before
 
@kalina Who, me?
 
@Ladineko yes you
 
2:00 PM
@kalina Im just a person who found out there is a games Q&A 6 days ago :P
 
@Ladineko my condolences
 
have been sniffing around StackOverflow lately..
 
I hope everybody is being nice to you, rather than doing their usual tonne of bricks + new person thing
 
Haven't bitten anyone yet, so i guess they are being nice so far
 
oh you play League of Legends
 
2:03 PM
Yes i do! Supporter at your duty!
 
strange, you're able to form full sentences
I thought the two couldn't happen at the same time
 
<<< Arcade Sona.
 
updates notes
incidentally, my brief moment of meanness just there was paid back to me by me missing my mouth and wearing salad
sigh
 
@kalina Be nice :P @FAE plays too, I believe
 
@kalina But, but, Microsoft...
 
2:05 PM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone hey I've already paid for my sins
 
Developer happiness is directly correlated to *nix use.
 
@fredley that's pseudo happiness
 
@kalina If I can't tell the difference, does it matter?
Basically developer happiness declines when money is involved :-(
 
@fredley well I just told you, I hope it sits in the back of your mind eating away at your soul
until you realise that Microsoft loves developers more than Apple do
and that not all Linux developers get paid
and without getting paid, you don't get to eat
and eating is happiness
since it's a required bodily function
 
@kalina I develop on Linux, and get paid. I just have to make a stupid iPhone app
 
2:07 PM
Developers are not happy basicly.
 
@kalina I should develop anorexia. That would solve all my problems.
 
Cause they dont eat....
Because they dont take the time
 
@fredley Don't even joke about that
 
@kalina Sorry :-(
 
@Ladineko all the developers that frequent here are unhappy whiny complaining people who don't care about the user experience because they're too busy going WHY DID THE USER DO THAT?????
obviously the above statement is only partially factual
 
2:09 PM
@kalina Only partially?
 
That last part nod
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone yes, I said "all" instead of "most"
 
They have all the rights too... they are on a Q&A site.
 
@kalina Invent a fool-proof system, and the world will invent a better fool.
 
@SaintWacko anybody who claims something is foolproof is a fool themselves
 
2:11 PM
@kalina And has severely underestimated the stupidity of other fools
 
I sometimes ignore Questions if they dont have the following statements in the question :

What have you tried?
Code in Question
What do you want it to do?
 
we are really strict with the questions on this site
 
@Ladineko I don't always put the code itself in my question. A lot of things are common problems with that type of code, so often a description is all that's necessary
 
@kalina With good reason.
15
A: Why do people downvote so much here?

StrixVariaGaming, as an expert topic on a Q&A site, has some extra difficulties that a lot of other topics don't have. It's very easy for sites about Gaming to devolve into trolling, flame wars, opinion pieces, rants, etc. As such, we have developed one of the strictest communities and strictest sets ...

 
Of course, I also pay close enough attention to my questions that if someone asks for the code, I can have it up in under a minute
 
2:12 PM
@StrixVaria mmmh, I agree on some points, I disagree on others
 
Oh you guys have other co-workers who can help you with development? That must be nice
 
@SaintWacko Then whats the problem if it only takes a few seconds to add the code of the particular problem?
 
@StrixVaria everything you say in that post I agree with though
I just don't agree with the lack of patience new users are shown at times as a result of it all
 
@Ladineko Takes up more space, and can potentially muddle the question
 
@kalina Yeah that is a bad side-effect of some people being overzealous.
Which I'm also guilty of at times.
 
2:14 PM
@StrixVaria a lot of people here are, the worst of it is that at times you don't realise that you're doing it
 
@SaintWacko Yes, but it cost developers less time to find your problem and make a solution that works with your code.
 
@Ladineko oh god, you bought cost into it
 
@kalina Burn the accountants!
 
I love that video.
 
2:16 PM
@Wipqozn You channelling Gnome today?
 
I think it gets better every time I watch it.
 
@fredley burn them all
 
@fredley No, why?
 
@fredley oh this reminds me
what is that "oh god I'm so lonely" post link
 
Its time to stream some League of Legends again tonight in HD, Now that i finally figured out how to stream HD for free!
 
2:17 PM
So stealing
?
 
@kalina I want 10k!
 
Good morning, Bridge
 
@SaintWacko I want to post a 2013 updated version with @GnomeSlice's current avatar on it instead of the forever alone face
 
Good afternoon
 
sure it will upset people like @fbueckert (morning) but I don't mind
 
2:18 PM
meta.gaming.stackexchange.com/posts/5613/revisions I can't believe nobody realized that @fredley's numbers were bloody inaccurate because he forgot to cast INT into FLOAT
 
Morning, @fbueckert
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I'm a terrible person
4
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Oh, wow, haha
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone WTF BLUE
 
@fredley I did that just to torment you!
 
2:19 PM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It burns!
 
I am still amused a totally new person, without downvotes, asked that.
 
@fbueckert happens, it was probably somebody not so new
like gameaddict
whom I've not seen in ages
 
@kalina Nah, he ragequit after his last question got closed.
Can't remember if it was on meta or not.
 
was he the one who called first amendment on us editing 'thanks' out of his posts?
 
@kalina I remember that.
 
2:22 PM
and then accused us all of trolling him when he complained about it on meta
 
@kalina Nope, that was user28015.
Who is behaving admirably.
 
Are you sure? I could have swore it was user28016
 
@fbueckert he must mean a lot to you for you to remember his numbers
 
Yeah, wth
 
@kalina No, I just have a freakishly good memory.
 
2:23 PM
@kalina That's always great
 
rigggght
 
FAE
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Yes, I do.
 
@fbueckert you have a spreadsheet on people to marshal don't you
 
@kalina Nope. Brain doesn't store stuff in spreadsheets.
If anything, it's a giant rolodex.
 
Probably has a dart board with his id and avatar on it
 
2:24 PM
@fbueckert's brain is actually NoSQL based
 
I'm glad I can't catalogue the contents of my brain
in fact, I'm glad I can't remember much more than a couple of months ago
 
I don't know if Canadians play darts... I dunno. Curling disk?
 
It makes for some interesting recall situations sometimes.
I'll be pulling up a piece of data, and this totally unrelated piece of knowledge tags along.
 
Yeah that's how the brain works haha
 
I'm fortunate, I get images of things in my mind but I can never verify if they actually happened
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Yup, it does that sometimes.
 
@kalina Let me guess - it's because you're too stoned
 
And then I punt that knowledge back into the depths.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone well actually I think it's the other thing
 
And stomp on it for good measure.
 
2:26 PM
I never let myself get sober
and therefore stoned is my default state
the world ends when I'm actually sober, I think
and I can't let that happen
 
Dawkinspeed
 
@fbueckert any update one your phone, and should I be upstairs for any length of time today?
 
I went to the shop and bought a huge salad
 
Currently, not on truck, still in the depot.
 
@kalina You're essentially Bender, then
 
2:31 PM
phones UPS up
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Stupid brain
 
"Hi, this is Franks secretary, I would like to cancel the delivery scheduled for today - the tracking number is 1Z7F382V6807977597"
 
It's funny, I remember reading somewhere the reason why the brain won't let you forget all those embarrassing details is evolutionary
 
Hotel wifi, why do you hate me so much?
 
@kalina Muahaha
 
2:32 PM
@kalina So much for people acting decent.
 
@fbueckert Well, this is @kalina we're talking about
 
@fbueckert I would never actually do that
I am saddened that you think otherwise
 
zi might
 
@kalina Yes. I could see you make an overseas call for no other reason than to spite me.
 
FAE
@MBraedley Because it's hotel wifi.
 
2:33 PM
@kalina but I might
 
wow
now I'm actually genuinely hurt
 
@MBraedley Hey, at least your hotel has wifi
 
@fbueckert Ah, I don't think she'd go that far. She knows how much you're looking forward to that phone
 
@SaintWacko I don't, I've heard nothing about said phone, I wouldn't do it out of principle because I'd never want it doing to me
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone true, but if it didn't I'd just burn through my data plan with tethering instead.
 
2:34 PM
@kalina Alright, that too :P
@MBraedley I do that occasionally with my N7
I have it set up so when it loses wifi, it automatically bluetooth links with my phone and shares its data
 
Oh, that reminds me. I should bug my phone provider to give me a data plan.
 
@fbueckert Yeah, you should. Data plans are kinda awesome
You don't even need much data
I've got 300MB a month, and it's usually more than enough
 
@SaintWacko i haven't gone that far. I loose the hotel wifi basically every time I close the lid.
 
FAE
@SaintWacko Yeah, depends on how much wifi access you usually have.
 
@FAE I have it just about everywhere. The only time I went over was when my old work was moving, and I spent a lot of time in the new building before they had it all set up
 
2:37 PM
@SaintWacko i would have gotten 300MB if it was offered, but the gig plan is good during those odd months that you just devour data

Q: Does Happy Street sync between android and ios?

Alex LarzelereI've got an iPad and an android phone, if I download it on both will I be able to play the same game, or will it be two different streets?

 
2
A: Android tethering via bluetooth keeps disconnecting

SaintWackoI'm doing the exact same thing, except with my Captivate, and I ran into the same problems. To solve them, I use three apps across the two devices. On my N7, I use Tasker to detect when I lose wifi connection and use Bluetooth Auto Connect as a Tasker plugin to automatically connect to my phone. ...

^Script for the auto-bluetooth-tethering
 
@SaintWacko I should really download tasker for my GS3. I've heard good things.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Still not as big as Minecraft
 
2:41 PM
@MBraedley It's really pretty amazing
Definitely worth the price
 
@MBraedley Yes. Tasker is awesome
 
@fredley eight earths!
 
@SaintWacko *57, in terms of surface area
 
I was even able to use Tasker to simulate smart cover functionality on my GS3
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Hmmm, the games form a trilogy
 
2:42 PM
@fredley Oh, I got it mixed up with the Ringworld
 
@SaintWacko okay, that's cool
 
Hey, has there been any more controversy about WarZ? It seems after they got delisted from Steam, they shut up mighty fast.
 
@SaintWacko It is 8 times the area, they're really shalllow.
 
@SaintWacko That is cool. I only use mine for auto-setting ringer/vibrate at times of day
 
FAE
@fbueckert Haven't seen any other news yet since that
 
@MBraedley It doesn't work all that well, because I have a dark cover, and so I had to do some odd fiddling to make it work, but if you had a light cover it would work perfectly
Really, it doesn't work well enough to actually use with my cover
But as a proof of concept it was sound
 
@fredley Cool, I didn't know you could insert an @ in a link and it would ping the user
 
@fredley oh, but I just updated the room info on that last night! #timewasted
 
@BoltClock Yup
@MBraedley Yeah, nobody goes in there anyway. Meta post is better post.
 
It works with all types of formatting, even @BoltClock code blocks I believe
 
2:45 PM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It does
 
oh score, the merge tool is being retired to staff only
 
Sent you a friend request on Steam, by the way
 
something I did resulted in a positive change \o/
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I see it
 
@kalina Merge tool?
 
2:47 PM
@fredley the user merge tool
 
@fredley User merge tool
 
What are Community Evaluation reviews?
 
is deemed "too dangerous" for elected moderators to use
 
@kalina I've never seen this tool
 
so they're removing it
 
2:47 PM
@kalina Yay
 
@fredley be grateful, if your account is ever subjected to it the person you were merged with gets access to your account
 
@kalina *facepalm*

Q: "Community Evaluation" on established sites

Al EverettIf the Community Evaluation review queue is only for beta sites to help determine if/when the site is ready for graduation (so it says in the answer to What are the review queues?) why has it suddenly appeared on Web Apps, which graduated from beta ages ago? Is this a policy change or a technica...

 
in my instance, I didn't want to be merged, and was ignored
 
@kalina Ah, not cool
 
2:49 PM
and for a company whose primary asset is data, they probably didn't want the fact they're so negligent with personally identifiable information to come to light
I am now full of pasta
2
 
@kalina the merge tool was being phased out for a while now, with the guidelines on when to merge being revised several times.
 
@kalina I am now full of jealous
 
@MadScientist it no longer needs discussing, the issue can't happen again
 
@kalina As opposed to covered in, the usual outcome?
 
@fredley no i still missed my mouth with some of the salad part of the pasta
 
2:52 PM
Hey, at least she's not full of shit, like I usually am
 
I have no idea how I missed my mouth
2
 
Okay, shower time, then work. I like the fact that I can consider 6:30 sleeping in.
 
@fredley my mum used to say she could throw food at me from the top of the street and still not miss
I don't think she meant literally though
 
@kalina Seen Drawn Together?
 
2:54 PM
because I don't think she could throw a substance with that much wind resistance over that distance
@fredley no
 
@kalina Ok dw
 
My mother used to chide me for having "holes at the bottom of my mouth" because I'd always get rice and bits of food on the table instead of in my mouth
 
My mother always despaired at my paltry appetite. Never had a big appetite, ever.
 
Wait, isn't it February? Why is it snowing?!
 
@RonanForman because... England
 
2:57 PM
@RonanForman @SaintWacko Want to do a 'community build' tonight?
@RonanForman Snow + February == normalcy
 
@fredley Where and of what?
 
building community....4 errors 6 warnings
3
 
@fredley I don't usually eat much, but that salad was seriously large
 
@RonanForman Flesh out the starting village a bit, tart it up, complete structures like the enchanting place
 
@BenBrocka Which one am I?
 
2:57 PM
My mother calls my father a ricepot because he always eats too much rice relative to the dishes
 
@kalina Salad is not filling food. All amount of salad is the same amount of salad.
 
@fredley I'll have to see. I'm really having fun with PoE right now
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone You can never eat too much rice.
 
@SaintWacko PoE?
 
@fredley What time were you thinking?
 
2:58 PM
@fredley Path of Exile
 
@RonanForman I've got all evening pretty much
 
@RonanForman Yeah, Snow in february is totally normal. It's not like you're in Australia....
 
it was a layer of carrot with a layer of cheese on top of it with a layer of pasta salad with a layer of leafs on top of it with a layer of other stuff
it was nom
 
锄禾日当午,
汗滴禾下土。
谁知盘中餐,
粒粒皆辛苦。
 
I wouldn't be able to eat it again though
@SaintWacko are you not bored of that yet?
 
2:59 PM
@kalina No
 
Would be good to: build up proper farms for all mobs, with auto-stocking feeders. Finish enchant building, with pistoned bookcases for variable enchants.
 
I'm loving it
So much fun
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm only 17, It's only snowed three years of my life as far as I can remember. And two of them were this and last year.
 
@kalina I am hungry
 
@fredley That would be cool
 
2:59 PM
@RonanForman You live in the North, how is this possible?
 
I thought about doing that once, but never got around to it
 
@RonanForman Global Warming, How Does It Work?
 
@RonanForman you are only 17?
 
An ancient Chinese poem which we used to recite in kindergarten. It speaks of the hardship farmers go through to grow every grain of rice, and implores you to not waste any of it
