@Fluttershy Unsporting Conduct on XBL should be renamed Noobs Pwnd

I'm 14% Aggressive, 57% Unsporting, and 14% Quit Early. That last one I am certainly guilty of. I'd rather quit a game than break my controller.

fredley

@kalina BRB DEPLOYING PREEMPTIVE STRIKE

Fluttershy

Also, those percentages don't add up.

kalina

@fredley I do not believe that this information is shown on your SO profile

fredley

@kalina True. OH NOEZ PPL CAN FIND ME

kalina

5:01 PM

@Fluttershy so rather than break your controller, you burst into tears and QQ your way off the server?

badp

@Fluttershy lol, I'm happy this isn't a thing on Steam

kalina

that's certainly unsporting!

OrigamiRobot

@fredley What do I need to EXPLODE

Fluttershy

@kalina I don't burst into tears. I just ragequit.

kalina

@Fluttershy I never thought you were the rage quitting type

OrigamiRobot

5:02 PM

I always burst in to tears, but I make sure I'm logged out first.

Never let them hear you cry.

kalina

TIL: applying the right amount of the correct type of pressure to Fluttershy at the precise moment in time where he's tipping over will result in explosions.

badp

Maybe because shitty stereotypes are shitty. Especially in PvP when a game is very obviously one-sided then you really only have two choices to have fun: 1. Vote for a scramble 2. Leave

Fluttershy

@kalina I used to have a wired controller that had the cord wrapped tightly around it. It was broken from repeated throwing. With the cord around it, it acted like a bouncy ball. I could get angry and throw it, and it'd come back to my face!

kalina

@Fluttershy rofl

badp

Some people don't seem to have any qualms playing one-sided games. I do

kalina

5:03 PM

I don't rage when playing games

people in WoW used to rage lots because of random wipes

I used to laugh at them

laughing at people who're raging make them rage more

it's a vicious circle!

Fluttershy

@kalina I never raged in WoW, thankfully. I was getting paid for my services (in-game, not real money), so I was pretty patient. >_>

OrigamiRobot

@fredley @Unionhawk @jeffreylin_ Anyone need extra Uranium? I'm never going to use mine.

badp

@kalina heh, at the first sight of "u mad" I just mute (and deny heals)

kalina

@badp rofl

badp

"u mad" is typically caused by messages such as "Guys, we're overextending, fall back"

I really don't get it, it's just the shittiest meme ever

OrigamiRobot

5:05 PM

@badp I preemptively mute anyone not on my friends list.

badp

slightly shittier than ">implying"

kalina

I pre-emptively mute everybody I haven't previously had a voice conversation with in the past

badp

@OrigamiRobot (at least in TF2 muting also blocks text chat)

kalina

and then if you end up with people still asking for you to talk

Martin Sojka

@OrigamiRobot If it's IC²'s Uranium, that's a good way to clear some space for your secret underground base. :)

kalina

5:06 PM

I play gabba via voice comms until everybody leaves

OrigamiRobot

@MartinSojka Hah, I'll stick with mining thanks :P

Martin Sojka

It is mining. The exciting kind thereof.

badp

@MartinSojka The rage-exiting kind?

OrigamiRobot

@kalina Sadly, I imagine you have extra problems using voice with randoms.

LOL UR A GRL R U HAWT?!?!?!??!

badp

@OrigamiRobot There's only one TF2 server where I've heard women on voice chat. One of them has a ban stick and no qualms to use it

sadly this TF2 server is getting increasingly empty :(

kalina

5:10 PM

@OrigamiRobot yay, fun random conversations

my favourite one is the one where people would rather believe you're a 10 year old boy than a girl

because it's just too hard to consider that girls can beat you at games

badp

honestly it depends on your voice

fredley

@OrigamiRobot No

Ben Brocka

@badp one of the first people I met on TF2 was a woman

Martin Sojka

@badp We tend to do "mining expeditions" by giving all but one player a stack of torches, half a stack of TNT, a lighter, leather armour and a few stone pick axes. The one with better equip gathers materials periodically. Much fun for everyone involved.

Ben Brocka

TF2, at least when I played, had the least amount of bullshit compared to just about any other voice chat game I've tried

badp

5:13 PM

@MartinSojka what does the one player do?

@BenBrocka you honestly don't need voice to have bullshit

There's still "plz uninstall", ">implying", "u mad", "u fag", "pls suicide"

Martin Sojka

@badp Gathers exposed resources after the area was lit up and "secured". Also, builds stair cases and places ladders and whatnot.

badp

Some of those luckily are just not used in TF2

OrigamiRobot

@fredley I feel like it should be rarer.

fredley

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, it's quite common

Martin Sojka

Thus, mining. It doesn't even have that big of an explosion radius last I tried, something like 20 blocks or so in stone.

kalina

5:22 PM

can you imagine a world where people who are abusive on the internet died by the method of their abuse?

ie: people telling others to die, died

fredley

@kalina So you'd die in a fire?

kalina

yes, but I'd do it under a hightech sprinkler system

besides, double standards

OrigamiRobot

5 hours ago, by kalina

sudo @OrigamiRobot die in a fire

Martin Sojka

@kalina I can easily imagine a word missing somewhat less than 1% of its population. It would be exactly the same.

OrigamiRobot

@fredley got there first, but I used a quote so I win.

fredley

5:23 PM

@OrigamiRobot There are no winners on the internet, only losers

Fluttershy

So, I'm doing science today. Just figured I'd let everyone know. =3

Martin Sojka

@Fluttershy Please tell me where so I can move to the opposite side of the planet, just in case.

Fluttershy

@MartinSojka You don't have to worry! I'm the test subject. I seem to have had an allergic reaction to one of the medicines I'm using for my cold. I'm now trying to narrow down exactly which medication by taking them in controlled groups! I'm fairly sure it's the Equate brand NyQuil. So today is Allegra, DayQuil, and tonight, actual Vicks brand NyQuil.

OrigamiRobot

@Fluttershy Please tell me you've got one of those kits where you grow crystals on a rock. Those were so badass.

user15026

@origamirobot they so were

user15026

5:26 PM

@fluttershy that is not a bad plan, actually.

Fluttershy

@OrigamiRobot I don't. I always wanted one of those, but never got one. =(

@AshleyNunn That's what I thought too!

OrigamiRobot

@Fluttershy What?!?!? OK, that's it. Sending you one ASAP.
