THE PERSON TO WHOM YOUR WARM FUZZY SECRET HEART BELONGS.

Arda Xi

@Mana No, no, that's the person looking for me. Wrong way around.

Brant

Pendulum is pretty good.

user30

before Mana makes everyone think I'm a hipster...

Mana

maybe you're both looking for...each other.

@Thomas Vampire Weekend? Hipster.

Brant

OH GOD IT'S 5:00 WHY AM I STILL AT WORK

Arda Xi

22:01

@Mana I told you. I'm not looking for anyone.

user30

@Mana that's at the bottom kthx.

Brant

I was so distracted slacking off that I wasn't watching the clock

Mana

@Thom It was a joke :x LIGHTEN UP GEEZ

user30

@Man Really?

user30

but you're normally so serious....

Arda Xi

22:02

Now, since I promised, the news. @Mana is still confused about @Arda's apathy. @badp appears to have some kind of problem. Stay tuned for more.

Mana

that was also a joke HA

Arda Xi

Ha ha fat @Mana. Or is that not how the lyric goes?

Mana

also if you're going to ping me like that, the proper way is @Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.

badp

@Mana That doesn't ping you Maaaaaaaaaana.

Mana

@Arda f@Mana. You were close.

Arda Xi

22:03

@Mana Too many vowels. They aren't free, you know.

F wntd t d tht, wld hv t cmpnst. @Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaana.

sjohnston

Is this wheel of fortune chat?

Arda Xi

Srsly thgh, by.

badp

@sjohnston I'll spin.

Mana

byyyyyyy RD

Arda Xi

Fun fact, Xi is a consonant.

sjohnston

22:04

@ArdaXi You kids and your damn unintelligible cell phone talk. Get off my lawn

Arda Xi

@sjohnston ur 0ld

sjohnston

I know.

Mana

@sjohnston is this you?

sjohnston

I rather enjoy it

Mana

sjohnston

22:06

@Mana Like that, but replace the gun with a keyboard. Also add a paunch and general lack of fearsomeness.

Mana

@sjohnston Challenge Accepted.

badp

Sigh, now I have Sniper 1 and Spy 1 in my list of easiest achievement I haven't got yet.

Raven Dreamer

hello folkses.

sjohnston

@RavenDreamer hi

Wow, someone thought it was a good idea to make a 63 character class name

CreCountForJobLastCreIdForJobScheduledGroupRequestExecutionUpdaterHandler

it's so obvious what that does

badp

@sjohnston It prepares the code for publication on TheDailyWTF

Raven Dreamer

22:12

My inner computer scientist just died a little.

Of course, I'm not really one to talk. I keep wanting to give my variables proper names.

The professors were less than pleased with Steve the Integer.

badp

like the easy to type 'Fred'?

sjohnston

@RavenDreamer should have used hungarian notation. No way they could resist iSteve

alternately, nSteve to avoid copyright issues with Apple

and with that successful chatkill, I depart

Raven Dreamer

Farewell.

I need a picture of a bar.

To use as a base for a pixel still life.

badp

22:29

Mana

@sjohnston Fixed. Also you have an arm coming out of your neck because I felt as though you were exposed to ridiculous amounts of nuclear radiation at one point in your life.

Powerlord

Valve published a quick Q&A about Replays on SPUF.

Raven Dreamer

I was sad when I learned I had to hit a button for the replays to be recorded.

Powerlord

@RavenDreamer Hitting F6 isn't that hard.

Raven Dreamer

I had an epic moment where a heavy got airblasted up in front of me, and I waited under him to get the backstab.

Powerlord

22:43

The game even tells you that you have to hit it.

Raven Dreamer

Riiiight, but that was my first match post-patch and I hadn't read up on the feature.

Powerlord

More importantly, the server has to have replays enabled.

Raven Dreamer

Good to know.

Powerlord

@RavenDreamer It tells you in BIG TEXT on replay-enabled servers.

Well, OK, larger than normal TF2 message type stuff.

Raven Dreamer

I probably wasn't on a replay enabled server then.

Powerlord

22:45

@RavenDreamer Replays take some server configuration to set up.

Plus, Valve hasn't fixed the "replay bot takes a slot" bug yet.

Official response is "We are aware of the player count issue and are working on it. "

Anyway, I made some changes to my server startup scripts to take into account some stuff from that FAQ, notably how to run replays on two servers at the same time.

Since they'd otherwise clobber each others replay files if they're on the same map iirc.
