@YiJiang'sEvilClone I wouldn't be so worried. There was a very... low reaction to the show when we watched it in college.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@GraceNote The animation and art is amazing, but the story is a little iffy

It's not bad, by any means

Grace Note

Aye t'that.

kalina

@fbueckert good morning!

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Not literal military hardware porn, though I wouldn't put it above the Japanese to produce that

OrigamiRobot

I am going to look at a car tomorrow. Very scary.

kalina

13:33

@OrigamiRobot look but not touch?

OrigamiRobot

With the intention of buying it.

kalina

wow, you are going to own a veeehickle?

Ben Brocka

I look at cars all the time

They're fairly common around here

In fact I just got mine fixed with a nice big price tag to match

Well routine maintenance, not "fixed"

kalina

so... serviced?

OrigamiRobot

@kalina I already have a vehicle.

kalina

13:36

@OrigamiRobot you are replacing your veehickle with another veehickle?

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Anyway, I'm just following this list: animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/ratings-anime.php

OrigamiRobot

Hopefully.

OrigamiRobot

13:37

@YiJiang'sEvilClone No FLCL. List invalid.

Ben Brocka

But yes. Apparently some routine 40k mile stuff might not have been done on the car (it's at 60k) since we couldn't find record of it, so I just had them do everything

All sorts of fluids need exchanging

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@OrigamiRobot FLCL is #226

kalina

@BenBrocka er... replacing?

OrigamiRobot

@YiJiang'sEvilClone List. Invalid.

kalina

"fluid exchange" makes me think of something completely different to what you're talking about

Ben Brocka

13:38

@kalina "exchange" is actually the wording they use, amusingly

kalina

OH NO I AM OUT OF SKITTLES

"Perform complete transmission fluid exchange service"

OrigamiRobot

I am eating Skittles Darksides. They're not sour, but they are what I have.

Ben Brocka

Actually there's one replacement and two exchanges. I have no idea if they're actually different things

Dan Hulme

Presumably replacement is for if you're low on fluid, whereas "exchange" means removing the existing fluid and then replacing it.

fbueckert

13:42

@BenBrocka If they're reusing, I guess it's an exchange. Not sure why you'd want to reuse stuff, though.

Ben Brocka

Reminds me I need to see if I have enough credit available because of my moronically low credit limit

OrigamiRobot

Wait, you're exchanging fluids?

4

Ben Brocka

@fbueckert I'm pretty sure it's removing and refilling. He described one of the services as removing a fluid since it slowly builds up little bits of metal in it

@OrigamiRobot I was pretty surprised that did'nt get any stars the first time around

fbueckert

@BenBrocka That's usually the oil.

Dan Hulme

the oil in your gearbox

my vehicle is due to have that done to it also

Ben Brocka

13:45

I don't think so, it already had the oil change, this is extra stuff they noticed during the C service

fredley

Yay, tories lost in Cambs

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka Stars aside, who calls it that?

Ben Brocka

Lujack's Mercedes department does

I wouldn't be surprised if it actually was some terrible attempt at innuendo.

@Fluttershy Is it sad that I think that's the default state that user?

fredley

@DanHulme Minecraft is a game

kalina

14:01

@fbueckert I feel physically ill that I am now being roped into a conference call to explain that a URL doesn't need "http" in front of it because the browser will assume that

Fluttershy

@fbueckert Either you forgot a word there, or I'm more sleep deprived than I thought...

fredley

@BenBrocka I don't think so either

SaintWacko

@BenBrocka Urban Terror is a good LAN party game

@LessPop_MoreFizz So long as there's actually a problem most people will encounter, I agree.

@SaintWacko You read the post I was replying too, right?

fbueckert

@Fluttershy Yup. Totally missed it.

Fluttershy

@fbueckert But lately, there hasn't been.

fbueckert

@Fluttershy Hence why it really feels more like seeding.

SaintWacko

@Powerlord Oh, no, I was still trying to puzzle out @fbueckert's message

Powerlord

@SaintWacko The joke was that I left out half the sentence instead of just a word.

SaintWacko

14:04

@Powerlord It's early. I haven't turned off my joke-avoidance algorithms yet

Powerlord

Speaking of time, it's bacon time!

Fluttershy

@fbueckert That, and the fact that he seems to think every answer requires a glitch of some kind. Just comes off poorly, I think.

SaintWacko

@Powerlord Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

fbueckert

@Fluttershy Better than assuming it needs a mod.

OrigamiRobot

@SaintWacko You're all illusions to me.

fbueckert

14:12

Mm. There's inconsistent usage of terminology.

Grace Note

@fbueckert Whereso?

fbueckert

@GraceNote Or I'm just confused for where it's supposed to be used.

Grace Note

@fbueckert They're not mutually exclusive, user confusion and tag inconsistency.

fbueckert

I'm seeing it used generally, as a global term that spans the entire span of gaming, and I'm seeing it used for specific terms used in only a game or two.

OrigamiRobot

I love it when other people say "mutually exclusive"

fbueckert

14:15

Our tag wiki says specific usages good, general usages bad.

Grace Note

Two points then.

OrigamiRobot

So that brings a third option: The tag wiki is wrong.

Grace Note

First, "It is not appropriate for repository style questions that seek to span the terminology graph." is confusing to me.

Second, we adjust o... or what OrigamiRobot said.

OrigamiRobot

I am a hero.

Grace Note

Basically, we adjust based on how we use the tag. If we find that we are comfortable handling both multi-game terminology and single-game terminology on the site, and a single tag is sufficient to handle them, then we can adapt in that direction.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@StrixVaria reddit.com/r/Games/comments/1dlz7p/…

OrigamiRobot

Get out of here stupid flags.

fbueckert

@GraceNote That seems to be it's general usage in this case, then.

StrixVaria

@YiJiang'sEvilClone :(

fbueckert

Which means I should rollback my retag on that question. I was under the impression it was meant for only general usage, not game specific terms.

OrigamiRobot

I'd say game specific terms are OK as long as they are more player created terms.

"People are trying to connect... and it's just pooping on them." -- one of my coworkers.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert I don't think either of those questions should have the terminology tag.

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Why not? Are they not player created terms?

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert They aren't asking about why the term is what it is.

fredley

14:28

Blend sour skittles into a fine powder. Add a little oil and paint onto bacon.

OrigamiRobot

OK, the L-cancel one should have it.

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Much of the tag is used for, "What does this term mean?"

OrigamiRobot

Question one boxing makes it hard to read at work.

@fbueckert I cannot accurately articulate the subtle difference, so I give up.

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot If you can manage it at a later point, I'd be interested in hearing it.

Because right now, I'm not seeing the problem.

OrigamiRobot

It's just my opinion, I'm not interested in rallying people about it.

fbueckert

14:34

Fair enough.

Grace Note

My understanding is that there is a subtle difference between "What is this mechanic" versus "What is this term".

OrigamiRobot

Yes.

Grace Note

I'm not going to say I can speak for OrigamiRobot, but I think I can, at least partially, understand where he's coming from.

fbueckert

@GraceNote The term should describe the mechanic, no?

Or am I missing the difference entirely?

OrigamiRobot

Like "squishy" is a term used in LoL and other games, but it's not really a mechanic.

I'd call asking about that a terminology question.

The DHC question already knows what DHC means and is just asking about the glitch itself.

fbueckert

14:38

@OrigamiRobot I think I see your difference.

Grace Note

@OrigamiRobot Meanwhile, if I ask about False Roman Cancel in Guilty Gear games, while that's certainly a term, what I'm really asking about is the mechanic itself.

OrigamiRobot

Right.

fbueckert

Terms that refer to the mechanic aren't technically, "terms", so much as just naming the mechanic itself.

StrixVaria

@GraceNote I hate when people change their gravatars.

Grace Note

@fbueckert Exactly.

StrixVaria

14:39

I thought you were @RonanForman until you I read "False Roman Cancel", then I had to double-check.

OrigamiRobot

The L-cancel question could be a terminology question, I just don't know enough about SSBM to say.

Grace Note

@StrixVaria You changed your avatar from the last time I looked at you thoroughly.

kalina

we should just close all of the questions

fbueckert

@GraceNote Ok, I understand what you two are saying.

StrixVaria

PaperStare @GraceNote

Wipqozn

14:39

I wish people would look at me thoroughly.

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria I can't remote in and turn it back on.

I broke my RDP :(

I think I'm going to change to @StrixVaria's old gravatar just to mess with people.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot I support this decision.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert However, let's say in SSBM there were other types of cancels. A question asking about L-cancel could be a terminology question if it's asking about how/when to use the term.

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot From the answers, it sounds more like a specific mechanic.

If there were/are other types of cancels, then, "What constitutes an L-cancel?" is a valid terminology question.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert I know, but if the question is about the usage of the term rather than the specifics of the mechanic, it's a terminology question. Like I said, I have no idea about L-cancels. I'm just using it as a hypothetical.

@fbueckert Exactly.

fredley

14:46

@OrigamiRobot What userscript do you use?

OrigamiRobot

@fredley Eh?

fredley

@OrigamiRobot For PaperStare

Grace Note

@OrigamiRobot I think he's offering to remote into your computer to turn it on for you, and needs to know which script to activate.

OrigamiRobot

Greasemonkey.

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot If we want to be pedantic about it, all we're doing at that point is terming a specific usage of a mechanic.

fredley

14:47

@OrigamiRobot Yes, but what script? Or did you write from scratch?
