Q: Default/suggested familiar names for Mite, Tumbelemur and Seed Sprite

SnacksWhen you get a new familiar and are prompted to name them, there are four default suggested names which can be cycled through by pressing triangle. e.g. when you get Mite, the initially suggested name is "Mitey", then if you press triangle you get another suggestion "Matey" then "Mito" then a fo...

Q: How can I persuade my friends to join Stack Exchange?

RetrosaurAlright, so the past couple of months have been driving me crazy. My roommate, no my hallmates, no all my floormates are driving me crazy. Everyday, as they work on questions ranging from Physics, to Mathematics, to Computer Science, I can't help but watch in dismay as they look to one source: ...

@badp halp meh.
@Retrosaur Step 1: Obtain a gun.
lol
And, badp just downvoted for me
Good ole' badp :3
How do you know it wasn't someone else in this room, or a coincidence? For that matter, how do you know it wasn't me?
(It isn't, for the record)
As Jim Kepler says
I can't find the quote
darn it
He says something like
I'll figure it out later
GODAMMIT BLAKE
WHERES A FUCKING VIOLIN WHERE YOU NEED ONE
I was going to play it for your dumbass bird Bloodwing
screw you it woulda been hilarious
Well first off, you don't have a personal vendetta against me Yi Jiang
But Badp does
Ever since I denied his offer to dupe his infinity
in Borderlands 2
he has waged total, and truly total war against me.
I find this deeply....intriguing. But do not worry, it is only part of our true love
Right @badp?
12:21
:-|
We share a bromantic relationship that is only exceeded by @GnomeSlice and @Mana's brotherly love.

Our love has truly blossomed, hasn't it @badp?
O.o
is furiously writing romantic shipfic

shh I'm actually a fanfic writer
okay not really.
rolleye 1080° clockwise + rolleye 1080° switcharoo + swag swift kick in in the groin
HIGH SCORE
@badp C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-COMBO B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-REAKERRRR!!!!
Retrosaur: c-c-c-c-c-combo breaker fail combo ×1
So yeah, what Bart said:

A: How can I persuade my friends to join Stack Exchange?

BartTop tip: don't persuade them. Just use Stack Exchange yourself. Show it to them when relevant. And then see if they pick it up. If they discover on their own that Yahoo! Answers has several shortcomings that SE might address, they'll come on over. But truth be told, if Yahoo! Answers fits the b...

Do not be pushy, or you just risk alienating your friends.
If you've already preached SE to them and they don't care, preaching more won't help.
@badp how can I prevent my various internet stalkers from finding Stack Exchange and joining?
@kalina Try not having internet stalkers in the first place?
12:29
@YiJiang'sEvilClone yeah because I have control over that
@kalina Be an extremely boring person that no one could ever possibly want to stalk to begin with. Have you considered knitting?
@badp I am not a naturally boring person, I'm not going to be something I'm not just to prevent a bunch of idiots signing up to stackexchange
Unfortunately, I have no better advice for you.
You could just tell @badp who they are and he'll destroy their account. Totally not an abuse of mod powers there.
@kalina I didn't say it would be easy!! Knitting takes much expertise.
12:31
you are unhelpful
I unfortunately have enough internet stalkers that I had to start categorising them by the potential amount of real life danger they pose
good morning, @FAE. @kalina has a question you might be able to help with.
fortunately the denizens of stackexchange seem mature enough to not add anybody to my list
Maybe the bottom categories are not stalkers to begin with and just kind of enjoy your company/obsessively compulsively feel the urge to add you to their network/really mean no harm to begin with?
Knitting is actually really exciting. Have you seen the flame wars that goes on on Ravelry?
@badp this is plausible but past experience says you can never be too careful
while the upper category consists of people who've actually made contact with my friends, found my address, phone number, etc
12:37
Holy crap, this is going to take more than an hour
incidentally, I've found my new least favourite application
Citrix Netscaler is now the application I loathe the most
@kalina Scary :-S I take it your SE profile contains no identifying/linking information?
@fredley other than my email address
> The world's most advanced cloud network platform
Says their website
@kalina Not publicly visible, and email addresses are easy to set up/forward
12:39
@fredley tbh the email address I put on my SE profile after the whole merging thing doesn't point back to me anyway
my original email address did though
@kalina Still not publicly visible
@fredley there is a long conversation that I'm not going to have the says it was made visible
@kalina Oh. Not so good.
but I will sum it up with "don't trust anybody, including stack exchange"
human error makes even the most secure system imperfect

Q: What is the difference between "Final Fantasy Tactics" and "FFT: War of the Lions"?

RLHFirst, see here: (PSN - Final Fantasy Tactics) ...and here: (PSN - Final Fantasy Tactics - War of the Lions) I don't have a Sony system, but I do own an iPhone. From the App Store, I have downloaded and am playing FFT-WotL. From what I can tell, it's the same as the original, with a few tweaks...

12:42
@Lazers Their Wikipedia article will tell you that one is suppose to be a sequel to the other
Holy crap another page. This just goes on and on and on...
I <3 @YIJIANG'SEVILCLONE BUT MOSTLY @BADP BECAUSE WE ARE BESTIES FOR LIFE RIGHT MINION?

where did you all get your names from
@FAE internet stalkers

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Aye, let's 'ship. fredley ♥ yijiang ♦ TimStone ♣ (Grace + Welbog)
FAE
FAE
@kalina Uh... context?
@FAE how to avoid them
@badp Welbog? I don't even talk to Welbog
preferably by reducing the number of to 0
Hey, does r/tf2 implement icon flairs?
They do! Although it's kind of ugly, and not many people use it. Hmmmm.
FAE
FAE
12:53
@kalina Not much you can do other than be extremely careful about where you post personally identifiable information, which you've said you already do. Keep records of harassment in places that are moderated so you have proof you can show higher-ups if things get out of hand. Don't feed the trolls. Surround yourself with people who care and can help look out for troublemakers. I don't think I have any advice you don't already know.
Another page. Reaching the Twilight pun thread now. That was... two weeks ago?
Nope, only 6 days. Maybe sorting by hot wasn't such a good idea.

A: What is a day in the life of a moderator like?

badpNothing glamorous really. You occasionally see a yellow number at the top of the page with the number of batsignals flags that need handling, bringing you to a list of flags that need handling. You handle the flags you can handle properly, put off fires where needed and you're mostly met the mini...

Does r/mlp really see more than 100 posts per day?
@badp shows his true love for me
@YiJiang'sEvilClone 4chan's /mlp/ seems way more than that.
*sees
Yeah, but that's 4chan. r/mlp is a little more... civilized, shall we say
Posts, by the way, not just comments.
Just passed over the shitstorm thermometer post. Man, this is really slow... or r/mlp really has a lot of crap.
Oh, and GOG's matching Steam prices now - The Witcher 2 for $10: gog.com/gamecard/the_witcher_2
Oh yes! We're done! DATA WOOOHOOO! SWEET SWEET DATA!
> Now that we have all this useful information, it would be nice to do something with it. (Actually, it can be emotionally fulfilling just to get the information. This is usually only true, however, if you have the social life of a kumquat.)
I do have the social life of a kumquat

13:03
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Wise words, brave fellow.
Hmmmm, only 3.5k points of data. Ah well, it'll have to do
13:19
@kalina See: Social Engineering. Great fun in practice.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It's a chain of 'ships. Since when are 'ships transitive, let alone symmetric?
13:33
According to the code given to the flairs on r/mlp, this is "Gaben":
I wonder why...

Yo
@spugsley What kind of job?
14:15
Are there any gamecube controllers (or classic controller adapters?) that don't suck, aside from the stock Nintendo ones? I need at least one more Gamecube controller and the stock ones are $40
@badp I'm not sure how that math works there. And those are not standard mathematical operators
SYNTAX ERROR AT '♥'
@BenBrocka I haven't found any
Good morning, Bridge
I have a couple third party controllers and neither of them are that great
Morning, @fbueckert
Morning, Bridge
I saw this one that looks like a Classic Pro controller with a gamecube cord for $10 but I'm incredibly suspicious of it
Even the crap 3rd party controllers appear to be $20-$30, and at that rate I'd rather pay the $40 for a Nintendo one
14:17
Almost 7k rep!
@BenBrocka Yeah, stock Nintendo controllers are really well made
@badp Oh, it's from that thing
@BenBrocka I figured somebody at some point would fall for the bait, but I didn't think it would be you. ♦
@SaintWacko Usually. The classic controller actually seems pretty crappy. After a year or so of disuse the D pad and analog stick turned a bit yellow and the analog sticks got all nasty with stuff unlike any controller I've ever had

Q: How can I unlock more new cards?

ChargingPunI am playing Magic 2013 on Xbox, and was pleased to discover that the number of available cards per deck was increased from 30 to 40. However, when I won a game with a deck that I had at 30/40 cards unlocked, I did not gain a new card. I have not unlocked any decks beyond what the game comes wit...

Makes me wish I hadn't sold my GC & controller, I bet I got less for it than I'll pay to replace the controller alone
Trading in is usually dumb and I don't do it any more, but I did a lot of it in college to get more games
FAE
FAE
14:21
@BenBrocka I still have mine and like, 4 controllers, haha.
4 regular and a Wavebird, actually.
I have a Gamecube controller somewhere, but damned if I know where it is.
@FAE I just had 1 normal and 1 wavebird, if more than 1 person was coming over someone else always had a controller
And a friend borrowed my wavebird "base" so I currently have no way to play Pikmin
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka Oh no :(
@BenBrocka I wish I could remember what I did with my GC. =( I wanna play Wind Waker again.
FAE
FAE
Those are hard to find nowadays, I hear.
14:22
@BenBrocka Hm, you sure it was genuine? I've had a couple stock controllers for years and haven't had anything like that
And Pikmin 3 isn't due to Q2
@SaintWacko purchased direct from nintendo
@BenBrocka Odd
@BenBrocka Just download Dolphin and use an xbox controller with it
The build quality of it in general is pretty cheap compared to most official controllers from nintendo and others
@Fluttershy clearly right handed people are evil
14:27
@Fluttershy Good guys are southpaws?
@BenBrocka Woo, same thought! highfive
I'm evil?! I... I never knew...
@SaintWacko It'd be a PS3 controller in my case. Does Dolphin run that well? I haven't tried it in a while but it seemed emulation got iffy past the PSX/N64 era
@BenBrocka I'm left-handed, so... Yes. >_>
@BenBrocka I haven't actually tried Dolphin, but I've heard it's really come a long way recently
@Fluttershy Ditto, thanks to a rather bad burn when I was very young. Turns out barbeques are not very friendly to skin.
FAE
FAE
14:29
@fbueckert Ouch, left-handed from a burn?
@fbueckert x_x
@fbueckert ow.
@FAE I don't even remember it happening, I was that young.
@BenBrocka Wake Up Club is kinda buggy with its trophies...
But hey, I'm left-handed now!
FAE
FAE
14:30
@fbueckert That's probably good.
So that means I'm a good guy!
@fbueckert Yowch
FAE
FAE
I am apparently evil.
@Fluttershy How long does the alarm ring for you? I got a single ring and it said "too late" or something so I stopped using it
FAE
FAE
I'm okay with this.
14:31
@BenBrocka I used it this morning and I already forgot the answer to this.
My mom's a weird half-ambidexterous lefty since she grew up in the "left handed is evil" era
@Fluttershy I'll try it again I guess. I'm thinking maybe if I open it and check in it'll still give me credit? I dunno
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka Jochem's dad is that way too.
There's assorted things she does left or right handed now
I think she's still better at writing lefty
But her mouse is right handed
FAE
FAE
My sister is that way too. She writes left, but like bats and golfs right.
Count me as a switch-handed
14:33
@FAE I do that too!
basically yeah, I used to be left-handed but the only thing my left hand is actually better at than my right hand is writing... and my writing sucks
I'm right all the way.
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka Same, pretty much.
javascript: history.go(-1)
NO
SHUT UP I HATE YOU EVERY SITE THAT DOES THIS
@OrigamiRobot those are fun. I love when sites have a "home" button or something that's clearly supposed to go to a specific place, but they use history.go instead
I've had sites kick me back to Twitter because their "navigation" used that
14:39
@BenBrocka That's bad testing right there.
@BenBrocka Haha, wow...
The sad part is, I'm sure there's an easier way to accomplish such a button (I don't know javascript, but I'm only assuming...)
I'm sure the logic was "well there's only one way to get to this page, so 'back' always sends you to the right place..."
@BenBrocka Probably, but that doesn't make it any less dumb. What if I bookmarked the page? For some reason?
@OrigamiRobot Oh, wow, that's just wrong
@OrigamiRobot document.write(<script>history.go(-1);</script>);
14:45
I feel left out, not knowing javascript... goes off to the internet to find out what that does
@Unionhawk yeah, it breaks any time your referrer isn't the "right" page, like any time a link is shared on an external site
That's what I thought... That'd be even dumber
@BenBrocka Doesn't that go against all SEO buzzword nonsense...? Isn't the goal referral links?
Copy/Paste this into your address bar:
No wait don't, it's too long :-(
14:48
I think chrome sanatizes it too... I tried it with the history.go method, and it just googled it
wtf? why are we talking javascript in a gaming site? :P
iunno
@Ladineko Gaming is the only thing that is off-topic in The Bridge
@Unionhawk Well it harms SEO for another reason (your site's pages should link to each other properly) but referrers still work and get tracked. The problem is it's triggering a "back" function instead of leading to a new page. Which has the secondary effect of not actually giving you the right page unless your flow is perfect, and no one breaks the flow
14:49
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Rainbow dash FTW
FAE
FAE
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I did not expect Luna to be so high.
@FAE r/mylittlepony (and the fandom as a whole) has a strange obsession with the Princess of the Night
@FAE Didnt expect princess selestia so low :S
FAE
FAE
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Huh, really? I was unaware. :o
@Unionhawk Chrome auto-removes the javascript: when copy/pasting. You can re-add it manually
14:50
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Luna is just hot!!!
It's so you can't say "hey paste this code into your address bar" computer explodes
I guess it's because she doesn't have nearly as much presence in S1, which means that a lot of people made up their own headcanon about her
@BenBrocka That's what I thought.
FAE
FAE
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Ah, hm.
@FAE You've clearly never been there
14:51
Oh, and poor Applejack. Nobody likes Applejack. :(
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka I have not.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Its because of the episode where she wanted to change, she was trying to be a so innocent and that made her cute and populair.
What's "flair data" anyway?
FAE
FAE
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Yeah, saw that. :(
@BenBrocka Reddit lets you have little icons by your name in subreddits.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone @FAE I do :O
14:52
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I wouldn't have guessed that, I would have feared it'd be Rarity. I was one of like two people who made a Rarity theme in their first theme contest. Still did it like a boss
@BenBrocka Reddit has a flair system, where you can add (mod approved) icons or texts next to your username, which will appear everywhere in that subreddit
Ohhh this is a reddit thing I was thinking of ponychan
The internet has too many of these things
FAE
FAE
For example, my flair in the Guild Wars 2 subreddit has symbols for Human and Necromancer.
Indeed
The same script can be ran for other subreddits too.
14:52
Only reddit I use is wheredidthesodago

Q: Beat Boss Fight in Shank?

SiddharthaI know I'm playing this game a little late, but I can't beat Gears & Grenades (Second Boss Fight). Any tips?

Though I think r/mylittlepony is where the system is used most extensively
I'm tired of seeing ponies in my Youtube related videos...
FAE
FAE
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It's pretty big in gamer subreddits
Yeah, and a few sports related ones too.
FAE
FAE
14:53
Especially MMO related ones
@Unionhawk You could use a userstyle / userscript to remove the sidebar entirely
FAE
FAE
Class designations and such
@FAE I know it's used frequently in the mindcrack subreddit
Selectively removing pony related items is a lot harder though
FAE
FAE
@Unionhawk Dunno that one
14:54
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Why would you do that?
@YiJiang'sEvilClone But I like seeing related videos - just a choice few that I don't...
Personally I'd just wish they'd stop showing me videos I've already watched
@YiJiang'sEvilClone THIS
@FAE I have a Spy mask on /r/tf2 and /r/RUGC_Midwest!
FAE
FAE
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It kind of annoys me that "watched" data is so temporary.
14:55
@YiJiang'sEvilClone This is why I avoid the stupid What to Watch page and re-bookmarked Youtube's Watch page directly.
@Powerlord Which page is that?
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I forget what exactly it's called... I want to say Watchlist. It's the link below What to watch on the left sidebar
However, I'm not signing into Youtube here at work to check it.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It's called "My subscriptions" - it'll show you essentially, like the old layout once did
Your subscriptions' uploaded videos in some sort of order, rather than a random set of recommended videos
Also, I'm stealing the "bookmark that page instead" idea. Because I hate the "What to watch" list
