I never played TFC, and only played QTF once.
Well Young Guilo has asked like 3-4 questions within one hour. I'm not a mod. so I can't really do much about it.
@Powerlord Well at the moment TF2 doesn't look that bad. It does shows its age, but it isn't terrible yet.
I mean, I guess it looked OK for its time. TFC was just TF using Half-Life textures instead of Quake textures.
@Scootaloo ...and?
The nice thing about TF2 is that it looks unique. Which is also good since it's normally easy to tell players from the environment. The downside to this is that Prop Hunt needs its own maps.
@fbueckert Not everyone likes to see a bunch of easy to find out Minecraft questions is all. It's not against the rules, but that doesn't mean it won't annoy people.
@Fluttershy EAvil!
@Scootaloo 3-4 questions is usually alright. It's when they reach 10 or more that it gets annoying for me.
A friend told me about the game Ray's the Dead yesterday.
@Scootaloo So downvote if you don't like it.
So, of course the company making it canceled their kickstarted the day before.
I want my Zombie Pikmin damn it!
18:04
They're pretty badly researched, personally, but they're still questions.
@Fluttershy Fair enough.
@fbueckert Wouldn't that fall under downvoting by user, which is a Bad Thing (TM)
And I need to get my hands on Pikmin 1 at some point. For some reason, I didn't see Pikmin 1 come out on the Wii in North America, and I don't want to start with the second game.
@fbueckert I thought you weren't supposed to down vote just because you dislike the question.
I only rented Pikmin in the past, not purchased it, so I don't even have a GC disc.
18:05
@Scootaloo You are definitely allowed to downvote for dumb or bad question
@Scootaloo As long as you're not voting because of who asked it, or because you don't agree with what it's current score is, everything else is fair game.
Creepers love a nice conversation but you have to get very close — Ben Brocka 9 secs ago
I'm helpful
If you're voting on the question itself, that's exactly how you should be voting.
I usually vote slightly to the left of the question
@BenBrocka We need sidevotes, which denote, "CBA to vote properly"
18:07
Wait... why is Pikmin 2 Wii on the Nintendo Selects list, but Pikmin 1 isn't?
Nintendo Selects? sounds like Greatest Hits, and Platinum Hits.
Aren't those just to mark reprints?
@Scootaloo Yup, Nintendo's version of Greatest Hits.
@Fluttershy
@Powerlord That's odd
18:12
@Fluttershy Just testing.
@BenBrocka They do tend to whissssssssssssssssssssssssper
@OrigamiRobot I don't get it.
@Scootaloo You should go ask a creeper to explain.
@OrigamiRobot @Coronus I still don't get it.
18:15
SimCity players: is this question answerable?
@OrigamiRobot No hand-drawn circles. -10.
I must be missing the joke...
@fbueckert I want to duplicate it as per my comments but I'm not 100% confident
@kalina help?
@OrigamiRobot Almost correct. Doesn't factor in that images with freehand circles get automatic upvotes and images with ponies get automatic downvotes.
18:16
@Scootaloo with?
@kalina I'd say NARQ it, then; if you can't even tell, and the user hasn't been around in over a month, not enough information has been provided to answer it.
@Sterno Since they are automatic, why instruct people on them?
@kalina This.
@fbueckert shrug
go for it if you want
@Scootaloo You could ask anyone here and you chose KALINA?
18:17
@OrigamiRobot add the word "should" in front of get
@Powerlord Ya.
@Scootaloo why do you need help with that?
I thought you'd choose @RainbowDash
@Scootaloo If that's giving you trouble, I'm not sure what to tell you.
It's a colour coded picture
18:18
@kalina I'm missing the bloody joke. Also @RainbowDash isn't a user in the room.
it's not a joke
@Scootaloo Fine then, @Fluttershy
@Sterno Too lazy to change.
it's a colour coded pictorial guide on how to vote on questions
@Powerlord Eh?
18:19
@Scootaloo If you mean Creepers, the joke is that they explode when you get too close.
@Fluttershy
@OrigamiRob
@Fluttershy Yeah sorry, thought I'd hit the reply button.
It Makes Sense In Context
@Sterno What do you do if someone freehand circles a pony?
@Fluttershy Don't make me bring out the goat pictures.
18:19
@Fluttershy I don't understand the joke and everyone here is being cryptic.
@Sconibulus it cancels out
@Sconibulus What if a freehand circle resembles a pony?
@OrigamiRobot Don't make me bring out the sloth pictures.
@Scootaloo What joke?
About creepers whispering? And having to stand close to hear them?

Q: Is there a joke about "Freehand Circles" that I'm oblivious to?

Jacxel Possible Duplicate: The Many Memes of Meta Someone commented one of my answers (on Arquade ) saying they down voted because of the lack of "freehand circles" is this a joke? Could someone explain it, I don't think they actually did down vote the answer (or if they did someone up-voted ...

Don't mind me, I'm going to crack my desk with my forehead.
18:20
@OrigamiRobot Speaking of which this is my OC: i.imgur.com/kjbrFeW.jpg
@fbueckert I hope your desk makes it through okay.
I am 99% confident that this is a result of @Scootaloo not understanding how replies work.
@fbueckert Poor desk.
@Fluttershy Not worried about my skull at all, are you?
@fbueckert It's probably a pretty nice desk.
@OrigamiRobot Don't start with me again please.
@Fluttershy And doesn't deserve being hit with a cranium.
@Fluttershy My desk at home is quite nice, yes.
This one...not so much.
@Fluttershy So wait what did the creeper have to do with the joke?
@Scootaloo just set fire to him
18:23
@Scootaloo I'm not starting anything. The image has nothing to do with any jokes. If you'd look at what message it is replying to, you'd know that.
@kalina What would that help?
wow
@Scootaloo @kalina
fire solves everything
once you set fire too something or someone, it's gone
9 mins ago, by Powerlord
@OrigamiRobot No hand-drawn circles. -10.
That's the joke
18:24
@GnomeSlice Hello :)
Or at least I'm assuming that's what Scootaloo has been talking about.
@Powerlord I think the creeper joke is being referenced, though.
@Powerlord I've lost track about what we were talking about.
@Powerlord That is a joke, but not the message he linked when he asked for help.
There's at least three conversations going on in here.
1) Freehand circles
2) Voting on questions
3) Creepers
18:26
@fbueckert Fire?
I am doing my best to make it as confusing as possible.
Or maybe four, if you include fire.
Fire is always #1
@OrigamiRobot He... didn't link to a question when he asked for help. It was an @user not a reply.
Can we edit parts of answer that are useless?

A: What moveset should my Skitty have to be useful?

looperIgnoring the fact that Scitty isn't a good pokémon, the best way to use Choice Specs. This has the disadvantage, that you can only use one attack, but this one will be more powerful (increased by 50%). By TMs, you can teach: Ice Beam Thunderbolt Shadow Ball Grass Knot Cute Charm would be be...

18:27
So, anyway, chocolate bacon.
@Scootaloo What, exactly, isn't useful in that answer?
@Powerlord That's better.
@fbueckert Particularly this part "Ignoring the fact that Scitty isn't a good pokémon".
That doesn't help anything. It's just an insult.
11 mins ago, by Scootaloo
@kalina This.
@Scootaloo That's subjective more than anything else. The answerer does answer the question, though.
18:29
@fbueckert He didn't even spell the name right.
@Scootaloo And? I'm fixing that right now.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I am going fishing now and robots aren't very good at poetry.
BYE EVERYONE
@OrigamiRobot You're right. You suck at poetry.
@Scootaloo Maybe they could add in why Skitty isn't very good, but I think @Strix did a pretty good job of explaining why they're not so good.
@fbueckert Making fun of the players choice of team isn't exactly helpful.
@Scootaloo I think Skitty's feelings won't be hurt too badly.
18:32
@Scootaloo You're taking it too personally. It's not trying to insult you, or make fun of you.

Q: In DOTA 2 how do you create a "level up ability" hotkey

amccaffreyI'm new to dota but have played quite a bit of league of legends and I'm very much used to using ctrl-qwer to level up my abilities. Is there a way to do this in dota 2?

All it's doing is saying that Skitty sucks.
@fbueckert That's the problem.
@Scootaloo Why is that a problem?
2 mins ago, by fbueckert
@Scootaloo Maybe they could add in why Skitty isn't very good, but I think @Strix did a pretty good job of explaining why they're not so good.
@fbueckert "Ignoring the fact that Skitty isn't the best choice of pokémon, the best way to use Choice Specs."
18:36
Right. Missed a word.
@Scootaloo I used Trubbish in my last run, so I know all about using awful Pokemon for reasons other than their stats.
I did eventually have to drop him when I wanted to actually stand a chance against the Elite 4, though.
I don't see what the problem is, and why you're taking it so personally.
Oh great.
In reference to the current argument going on in chat, I don't think saying Skitty sucks is 'insulting'. You can play with shitty characters intentionally, for example. More casual users might also find the information useful, and avoid using Skitty. Just leave it be. — GnomeSlice 31 secs ago
@Scootaloo I was just about to link that.
Now I've got a troll in the comments to make things worse. Cya.
18:39
@Scootaloo Dude, why are you taking it so personally?
15 mins ago, by kalina
fire solves everything
@Scootaloo don't call GnomeSlice a troll
They're not criticizing you. They're pointing out that Skitty isn't very good, and backing it up. They're still trying to help you.
I need to stop giving people the benefit of the doubt and un-ignoring them.
I have to trust my past self that ignored these people in the first place.
@StrixVaria if you do that, I'd still be on ignore
18:41
@kalina Oh yeah.
And honestly, if that's all it takes to insult you, you need to grow thicker skin. This is the internet, after all.
I don't even remember why I ignored @kalina.
I just remember it being pretty stupid
Eugh.
@fbueckert Srsly?
18:42
Somebody else flag that.
@fbueckert Ahead of you.
It's already gone.
@Wipqozn Yay!
@Scootaloo you are not being trolled by anybody, but comments like that do you no good
@StrixVaria You need to convince The Bridge to play prop hunt.
Because clearly everyone should install a 12+GB FPS game just to hunt down traffic cones.
18:44
@Powerlord Prop hunt is fun.
@Wipqozn I spent well over 30 hours in the past week fixing it.
I need to convince server owners to upgrade, too.
@kalina Already flagged it for deletion. Hopefully it will be gone soon.
@Scootaloo Which comment? Your one? It was already deleted.
@Wipqozn The main question.
@Scootaloo Yeah, that won't be happening.
18:46
facedesk
@fbueckert Why not?
You asked it, people answered it.
It's now cc licensed to Arqade.
You can disassociate your account from the question, but after it gets upvotes, it's no longer your right to delete it.
@fbueckert upvoted answers are the important factor
Deleting it would invalidate the effort TrentHawkins and Looper put into their answers.
@fbueckert Great @StrixVaria is apparently ticked off at me and I can't delete my question. Today is already going well.
18:48
@Scootaloo neither of those things matter in the grand scheme of things
I'm not sure why either of those things are effecting you the way they obviously are
@MadScientist Yeah, I get that. That's why deletion has been removed as an option.
@kalina We're not even downvoting it! Seems like a tempest in a teapot, really.
@kalina I've already got a bad reputation on Gaming SE so things aren't really going well as it is.
@Scootaloo Did....did you just VTC it?
@Scootaloo no, you don't, you have a less then stellar reputation in chat, which is a tiny tiny subset of people on SE and is reasonably easily fixable
@fbueckert facedesk
18:51
@fbueckert I tried it told me I couldn't and then it told me to flag it.
@Coronus Yeah, that was my reaction.
@Scootaloo also, strix puts everybody on ignore at least once
@kalina He hasn't ignored me!
@fbueckert that you know of
@kalina He can't ignore me! We wouldn't be able to play Monster Hunter, then!
18:52
@Scootaloo Listen, nobody has a problem with you or the question. It's a perfectly valid question: I want to do X in a game, how do I do it? The problem is that you are taking offense to one tiny part of an answer, and all we're saying is that you should ignore that part and move on.
Well, as an upside to all this... my answer's getting more attention and upvotes. \O/
@TrentHawkins you planned this on purpose, didn't you
@fbueckert there was a time before Monster Hunter
The tab with ignored users is private for non-mods, or?
@Coronus And as an addendum, if you decide to vandalize your question, that won't sit well with anybody.
@kalina Blasphemy!
@MadScientist yeah we can't see other people's ignore lists
18:54
@fbueckert Vandalize my question? you mean modify my original?
No I won't be doing that. I'm not that stupid.
@Scootaloo Yeah.
We've had people do that before.
modifying is fine, vandalizing isn't
I'm surprised my question hasn't been down voted into oblivion yet.
@Scootaloo oh, one second I'll undo my upvote
@Scootaloo It's a good question.
18:55
also, vote on the question, not the person
@Scootaloo I had been on the fence about whether or not it was something we could properly answer, but I came down on the good subjective side.
@GnomeSlice sorry for calling you a troll.
The only reason I'm using Scootaloo is because it's has cute sprite animations.
@Scootaloo the reason he posted it as a comment was because he can't respond in chat
otherwise he'd have just said it
@kalina I thought he'd been unbanned by now.
He's still got 53 days left of the chat ban.
18:57
@Scootaloo from the site
poor gnomeslice
@StrixVaria when/if I'm off your chat "ignore list": sorry for giving you a bad impression.
@kalina Seems like it's been a very long time.
@Scootaloo Total of six months.
it has
@Scootaloo, wait 30 seconds or so then ping me, I want to test something
18:59
@Sconibulus Ok?
@Sconibulus You don't get pings from ignored users.
I've figured that one out first hand.
@fbueckert I wanted to see if I'd get one when I unignored him
Oh so he was just saying he's ignoring me? wow.
@Scootaloo He was testing something.
Hmm, it's highlighted, but I didn't get a ping notification
19:00
I always thought I was the most melodramatic person in here
6
so maybe partially?
@Sconibulus ponies.
@Sconibulus Probably because you were pinged during the ignore period.
Which doesn't count as a ping in the system.
It has to happen at the time of reference.
ahh, cool
@kalina I'm not melodramatic.
Are my?
19:01
@Scootaloo I dunno, dude. You seem to take exception at perfectly ordinary things.
@Scootaloo yeah, I ignored you for about a minute to conduct the test
Um...
Well I don't do it intentionally.
@Scootaloo Sometimes, rather than taking something personally, take a step back, and ask yourself if it's something worth getting mad over.
@kalina No, your mellow comes after the drama.
well, I feed off drama like you feed off spite
19:04
@kalina Like i feed off bacon?
mmmmm delicious spite
@Powerlord Everybody feeds off of bacon.
^ what he said
Anyone who doesn't is a sad, sad, person.
@fbueckert be right back
19:05
@fbueckert Some people don't eat pork for religious reasons.
Some for health reasons.
51 secs ago, by fbueckert
Anyone who doesn't is a sad, sad, person.
Well that didn't work.
@fbueckert I wouldn't call that sad.
@OrigamiRobot now we're back to religion again
MUST AFK BACK SOON
@kalina Don't go.
19:06
@Scootaloo I have no choice, I will get banned in a conversation about religion
@kalina That's because you feed off drama.
@kalina No. I need your sarcasm to empower me.
You're insatiable.
@Scootaloo @kalina is never sarcastic.
@OrigamiRobot Why do you dislike me?
if he actually disliked you he wouldn't talk to you
19:08
Let's change the topic to something less tense.
@Kalina what are your views on Creationism?
@Scootaloo Like Doctor Who.
This isn't a tense conversation
Let's go back to talking about religion instead!
@Scootaloo ...
@Scootaloo Let's talk about rubber bands and bike chains!
19:09
Derail!
2 hours ago, by Sterno
user image
@BenBrocka I tried a rubber band bike chain once. It didn't work.
Woo-oo
Let us continue this conversation.
@fbueckert About bike chains or Creationism?
@Scootaloo I wasn't aware I did.
19:10
I still don't know when the remake is coming out.
@Scootaloo f-f-f-facedesk!
@fbueckert You know you want to.
I keep this up, I'm going to crack my desk in half.
@fbueckert or your face
@kalina Super hard skull.
@fbueckert Mine's made of glass. I'm afraid to hit it too hard.
19:11
I tried a creationist as a bike chain and that just didn't work at all
7
Comes from the massive amount of facedesking I've endured over the years.
If you crack your skull then you might not be able to reply to insipid chat messages though :'(
That would be tragic.
every time you facedesk, your morals change slightly
@kalina That would explain why I agree with you every now and then.
perhaps
19:12
Look what I found.
Anyways, lunchtime!
@scootaloo Why'd you have to remind me that chat needs @gnomeslice?
Now I'm sad.

@Sterno I see nothing wrong with a meme.
Now I'm going fishing for reals.
So how can I apologize to GnomeSlice to make things right?
19:14
@Sterno Only 2 more months... :/
@StrixVaria We need a countdown timer
@Sterno That is the best idea I've heard today.
Wasn't that picture originally posted by @Badp?
@RavenDreamer No idea. I found it on @GnomeSlice's profile.
I know he didn't make it.
@RavenDreamer nope.
I don't know the exact time, but I think I have the date right.
@Sterno @StrixVaria From Gnome
@badp Maybe Ronan then... hm.
19:18
@Ullallulloo I prefer mine because it isn't a gif with like 5 million frames.
@Ullallulloo Still trying to load that.
@StrixVaria I don't think that's how it works
@badp I think it probably streams the frames for as long as you keep the page open.
@StrixVaria That's what he said.
@StrixVaria yes, that was the theory.
It won't work on chat because chat will try to download the file (I think)
But if you did leave it open for 53 days you would have a 4.5m-frame gif.
I can't even get the page to load. Firefox or chrome
@badp You can't upload it to chat. If you embed it, it will eventually work though.
@Sterno Works for me in chrome.
In case the ignore is site-wide.
19:25
@Ullallulloo I got the ping.
Ignore only works in chat.
@StrixVaria Okay, I wasn't sure.
What's the difference between these then?
@Ullallulloo Probably across chats.
hide posts only hides posts until you refresh
19:28
I keep getting a "loading" gif whenever you post an image here.
@kalina Loaded fine for me.
I don't think the spambot got the joke
How do I remove my flag from a question?
you don't
19:30
@Scootaloo You can't, you can only wait for the close vote to expire
@Scootaloo You can't. A mod can mark it as disputed though if you care about flag weight.
@BenBrocka These time out things sure are pesky. Like the 5 minute up/down vote thing.
It's not so much a timeout in this case as a "completely irreversible action"
@BenBrocka I know it was put in place to help, but what exactly does it help? like if you wan't to change your opinion (via a vote)?
19:33

Q: Can we have the ability to rescind a close vote before it closes?

cletusSometimes you vote to close something and the OP then changes it to fix the issue or issues. You can't take a close vote back though. It would be nice if you could. With the new Duplicate close changes and the review queues, it's even more important to be able to remove accidental or erroneous...

Q: Cancel misclicked flags

AlbireoI'm wondering (since it just happened to me), is it possible to "cancel" ("undo", "delete", whatever) a flag I just raised if I misclicked it, so the mods won't waste time? I looked everywhere, but I can't find such a feature.

It's part of Jeff's legacy of "Eh whatever it's fine" declined feature requests
@Ullallulloo I'm not a plant though.
@Ullallulloo I have no idea.
Huh. I had no idea that VideoGameGeek was a thing.
19:34
@Scootaloo TIL blight refers to plants.
I learned it through Morrowind.
@kalina anything?
@Scootaloo ...?
@kalina I thought you left.
@Ullallulloo Blight doesn't exclusively refer to plants, at least not in the metaphorical sense
I did, you keep pinging me
19:37
My bad then. Anyway I've caused enough crap for one day. Cya.
They say if you say her name three times into a mirror she'll come and post star bait
@BenBrocka If you say it 4 times she'll set fire to something.
@BenBrocka I'm pretty sure that's baba yaga

@Scootaloo It's not my fault your profile lacks the proper reflective properties
@Scootaloo O.O It worked.
