The Bridge

Holy ow, NOPE.

@Fluttershy Closed as stupid.

A51Overflow.SE

I mean, seriously; does knowing Luigi is older or younger do absolutely anything to improve your enjoyment of the games? Of any of them?

@fbueckert The asker seems to think so.

4:02 PM

@fbueckert It's also the easiest thing to find out.

So yes.

@GnomeSlice How do you know?

@OrigamiRobot Because he asked

You're always telling everyone to stop putting word into people's mouth.

RedRiderX

Bet real fake money on AI vs AI fighting game matches.

4:03 PM

@GnomeSlice How do you know why he asked?

RedRiderX

what is this I don't even...

Oh, @Gnome is defending useless questions again.

Good thing I can't see it.

@RedRiderX well it started out as betting on matches at Evo and shit

I think the Mugen thing was just to fill dead air but it really really look off somehow

RedRiderX

@BenBrocka That is true, yes.

@OrigamiRobot Doesn't matter

4:04 PM

@GnomeSlice It does if you're claiming something

What did I claim?

@fbueckert From a certain standpoint, actually, it can be. Not in a largely useful way to most folk but there's always the whole kinship of younger siblings deal that pops in for some. Another way is to see one's understanding of the underlying character and hence from what direction one's sympathy comes from.

@fbueckert The asker seems to think so.

@fbueckert Thanks.

@OrigamiRobot Why would you ask something you don't want the answer to

@GraceNote The Mario lore is somewhat inconsistent.

4:05 PM

@GnomeSlice By this logic literally everything is fair game.

@GnomeSlice That's not what @fbueckert said.

For instance, Yoshi's Island implies they're twins.

@StrixVaria That's my opinion, yeah.

user15026

@GraceNote That feels like a bit of a stretch to me, especially because like...Mario lore is all but inexistant in most places, and it also can contradict itself.

@fbueckert One twin has to get born first.

user15026

4:06 PM

@GnomeSlice Oh good lord.

I think they are twins, but Mario is slightly older.

@GnomeSlice Go to Yahoo answers.

@OrigamiRobot I stopped arguing with Gnome because I can't handle the facedesking.

@OrigamiRobot Why?

@GnomeSlice Everything is fair game there.

4:06 PM

Obviously Mario is older. He's shorter and fatter. qed.

Heh

Also, the way he abuses Luigi.

2

@AshleyNunn Speaking as someone who actually does include "Is the younger brother" as one of the reasons I like him, it's a thing that some folks do think about. Now, not knowing he's the younger is funky, but I'm saying that this is a thing that some people do latch onto. It's not entirely alien.

user15026

@KitFox By that logic, my cousins are all out of order

@GnomeSlice Ok, but that's not the rest of the community's opinion, and that's not SE's opinion. If you want to argue about questions here, you have to do it in a way that makes sense in the context we have here. Blindly arguing that questions are useful despite the fact that they clearly don't fit the rest of the guidelines here is a complete waste of everyone's time.

4:07 PM

@StrixVaria I'm not arguing about anything, I'm just answering your questions.

Mario is older because he is player 1

@OrigamiRobot They're twins because the stork was delivering them at the same time!

user15026

@GraceNote I am not saying it isn't something people are curious about, I am saying that Mario lore is pretty wibbly wobbly so it isn't necessarily definable

No way. Have you seen the movie?

@GnomeSlice If you have an opposing claim that you are making known, you are arguing.

4:08 PM

@fbueckert Clearly the stork dropped Mario first making him younger

@AshleyNunn I'm arguing less about the validity of the question (and quite frankly if "lore is inconsistent" is the major issue that should be the point of attack), more that it is something people care about.

@OrigamiRobot Well, @fbueckert asked the question and @Gnome answered. It's hardly arguing.

@fbueckert I never asked you to argue with me, for the record.

Not that you can see this any more I guess.

@KitFox Depends on your definition of arguing.

Can you argue with someone you don't even acknowledge?

We wouldn't have dumb defenses to dumb questions if we didn't use dumb attack vectors in the first place.

3

4:10 PM

@fbueckert Yes, we all know you've ignored me, you can stop pointing it out.

4

user15026

@GraceNote Which is why I am trying to use the one I am using

For the record, I feel it is a silly silly question that contributes very little. Other than 120 rep going my way. :D

@TrentHawkins Which I believe you would keep even if it gets deleted at this point.

@Gnome Sure. As soon as you stop responding to me.

@StrixVaria Age is also a factor.

4:12 PM

@GraceNote Yeah I'm not sure all the criteria.

Basically age and post score.

(I can still see your contributions to the star list)

@fbueckert And in the transcript.

@fbueckert Go to a private chatroom.

Don't tell me what to do.

Oh, wow, I didn't even realize that was asked today.

I thought it was a remnant from the early days of the site.

4:13 PM

@Gnome You can come discuss Luigi in our room if you want.

Just to throw this out there before I eat my lunch, if you actually want to ignore someone, taking the effort to actually ignore them beyond what the machine feebly does is probably a lot more helpful to your goals than anything else.

4

user15026

@GraceNote There is that

@KitFox Lol. I wasn't planning on getting into a huge discussion about it, but thanks.

user15026

This seems pretty.....unconstructive

I was just voicing my opinion of the question.

4:13 PM

@GraceNote That's expecting a lot from teenagers.

@AshleyNunn Aye t'that.

user15026

@KitFox Most of us aren't that, btw

May 27 at 19:22, by OrigamiRobot

When you announce an ignore, all it is is a tantrum.

@AshleyNunn I know, and most of you don't act that either.

@KitFox DON'T TELL ME HOW I ACT

user15026

4:15 PM

@KitFox .....so basically, you are insulting a bunch of us. Hooray. Good job.

Yes, but you don't know which.

That's what makes it a clever jibe.

►

user15026

@KitFox Either way, it's kinda a sucky move

@KitFox This is the best part. It's like a mystery novel.

user15026

@KitFox Not entirely sure of that.

4:16 PM

Where do I want to eat lunch today?

@OrigamiRobot Nova Scotia!

Oh, oh, I know! Taco stand!

I am already 15m late for it

@KitFox Taco stand sounds like a good thing.

@Wipqozn omw

user15026

4:17 PM

@OrigamiRobot My house, I have kraft dinner

Do you live in Canada?

@AshleyNunn I only have 45m :(

I think I have some leftover apple cinnamon pancakes.

@OrigamiRobot Oh :(

4:18 PM

@KitFox Me? yes

@fbueckert Yes. You do. Eat them before they go bad.

@AshleyNunn So if you started making it now, then it would be ready by the time Origami got there.

user15026

@fbueckert Pancaaaaaakes grabbyhands

@AshleyNunn I make good pancakes.

user15026

@fbueckert I wouldn't know!

4:19 PM

@TrentHawkins Tonight. None of the other nights since I made them worked to eat them.

user15026

@KitFox He'd better hurry or I will just nom it alllll

@AshleyNunn KD with extra cheese (the older, the better), is heaven.

@fbueckert KD with bacon. mmmmmmmmmm

user15026

@fbueckert The only cheese I have right now is sheep milk gouda, think that would work?

@fbueckert With a little of this, it's even better.

4:21 PM

@AshleyNunn I have no idea how that compares to regular cheese.

user15026

@fbueckert I dunno, it's yummy

@TrentHawkins You and your addiction to burning out your mouth.

I NEED TO GO TO LUNCH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

WHERE DO I GO

@OrigamiRobot Food.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot What is nearby?

4:21 PM

Tacos.

@GnomeSlice: Re: Mario question. By upvoting that you're robbing @BenBrocka of that chance to get a reversal badge! Why do you want to see the penguin cry?!?!

user15026

@fbueckert ......I totally read that like it is a twisted game of duck duck goose

Really, flagger? Really?

Shit

I meant to star that

Stop being stupid with flags.

DON'T APPROVE IT

Don't star it either...

user15026

@GnomeSlice ....why

user15026

why would you even

4:25 PM

So people would see it

FEichinger

@GnomeSlice By the time people see it, it's already gone ...

It's already deleted!

Oh

Well, tough

10k people can still enjoy I guess

I'm going to wander around until I find something to eat.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot Good luck and godspeed, robot.

4:27 PM

@GnomeSlice I don't understand why anyone would enjoy that.

Can a mod delete that link? It's no longer relevant.

@Wipqozn I can't see it.

We get one or more of these types of post a week.

user15026

@fbueckert Which link?

user15026

The stars are gone, so really, the rest is fine

user15026

4:29 PM

Also, pretzels and dried strawberries totally count as adult lunch, right? Right?

Only if they're floating in vodka

You guys need to stop drama'ing while I'm at lunch.

user15026

@BenBrocka Which? The pretzels (yuck) or the strawberries (yum)?

user15026

@Sterno Lesson to be had: Don't eat.

Hey Ho!

4:30 PM

@sterno's back, time to stop the drama until lunchtime tomorrow.

:3

@TrentHawkins Shhh he must never know

@AshleyNunn Does it feed you?

The answer to that is the answer to whether or not it's an adult lunch.

@Michel How you doing, dude?

Just remember, every time you downvote a question to a negative score that is not obviously and unquestionably awful, you're actually giving the user +4 net rep from a sympathy upvote.

@Sterno Clearly, the problem is that people give sympathy upvotes.

FEichinger

4:36 PM

Oh, for heaven's sake. This discussion again?

@fbueckert There is no solution to that problem. Thus, it is best to simply be aware of it when voting!

@FEichinger You could say that about just about anything we talk about in here!

@Sterno Oh, for heaven's sake. This discussion again?

:P

@fbueckert Better. Started my dance class :3 doing Zouk atm but I'll go for the other rhythms asap :)

@fbueckert you? any news?

Anyone banned, ragequit or missing around here nowadays? (besides me :p)

@Michel @Kalina quit.

@GnomeSlice I heard about her ragequit, that was sad I liked her and liked to make her angry :3

4:40 PM

@Michel ...

I wonder why she quit...

You don't really need to wonder. You just need to read the chat log.

@SaintWacko I know why but I probably shouldn't pass it along.

@Sterno Do you have the link to the specific part?

@Sterno 3 net not 4

4:42 PM

@Sterno Sigh... I know, that was a poke at @Michel's "liked to make her angry"

Also, she's still around, just not in chat.

Right around there

As far as last words go, I approve.

@Sterno -2 to the person you downvote, -1 to the voter

4:49 PM

@Sterno O.O She was REALLY pissed of o.O

@BenBrocka For answers. I'm talking about questions. Which are free to the voter!

@Michel Good! Are you enjoying it?

@Sterno Oh, but yeah it's still just -2, so net of +3 with an upvote worth +5

I thought question downvotes were -1 and answer downvotes were -2. Apparently I was incorrect!

@fbueckert The dance? Yes a lot =)

I fell bad for Kalina ...

4:54 PM

@Michel Didn't Samba originate in Brazil? You should be learning that!

'-'

@fbueckert take a look at "Forro"

Forró

Forró () is one genre of Brazilian music that originated in Northeastern Brazil. It emcompasses various dance styles as well as a number of different musical beats. This music genre has gained widespread popularity in all regions of Brazil and recently, in 2012, had a peak of popularity outside of Brazil. Forró is closely associted with Brazilian June Festivals, which celebrate a number of Christian saints. The most celebrated is Saint John's day. Origin of the term There are several theories on the origin of the name. "Forró" (written exactly the same) means "burning hot" in Hungaria...

Forró > Samba (I'm from the Northeastern Brazil, not the Southern. And I live in the South now) xD

Samba is from Southern and there is not much good stuff in the South (for my taste)

For my taste or for my like (not sure...)

@Michel But Samba's so fast!

So it's salsa

and lambada

@Michel Salsa's not fast.

Can't say I've tried lambada.

Literally worse than hitler

4:59 PM

LOL

@BenBrocka NONONONONONONONONONO

@BenBrocka Stop making me miss @MarkTrapp.

@fbueckert not all samba is fast

"I literally shit my pants last night!"
"You actually voided your bowels into your pants"
"No I didn't mean it literally"

5:01 PM

@BenBrocka ...

@BenBrocka I find these jokes hilarious and also they make me angry

@Michel That's more salsa speed.

@BenBrocka Oh my god is that really there?

Looks more like salsa steps, too.

@fbueckert Eeyup

@fbueckert but it's samba

"Gafieira" is a ramification the "original samba"

5:02 PM

@Michel Not a proper samba.

@fbueckert it's the original. The samba that you see in the midia came from this one

also know as "Samba de raiz" (Rot's of samba)

@Michel I hadn't realized it was originally that slow.

Oh, fuck this

I am so done with the world

Mana

@SaintWacko :'( good bye

I associate samba with fast, precise stepping.

user15026

5:05 PM

@SaintWacko Meep?

@AshleyNunn Exaggeration, but that's damned depressing

When one of the definitions of "literally" is "not literally"

user15026

@SaintWacko It makes me hate stuff

@fbueckert remember that the dance is from 19 century (so it was VERY conservator)

user15026

So I understand

@SaintWacko Did you grab Inverto?

5:06 PM

@AshleyNunn Exactly

And if yes did you accidentally buy it twice and have a second copy to give away...?

@Michel Brazil and conservative at the same time don't fit into my world view. The two are mutually incompatible.

@fbueckert T_T

user15026

Huh, no work for me today, so I get to spend more time being lazy and playing Animal Crossing. Win.

@GnomeSlice Not yet. I'll do it now, though

user15026

5:07 PM

I'd say I would miss the money but really it would have been like $15, so.

@GnomeSlice And... no?

@AshleyNunn That's it? Ouch.

@SaintWacko Are you going to buy it twice by accident and have an extra copy to give away? =P

Ullallulloo

@SaintWacko I refuse to ever acknowledge that.

@Ullallulloo I like that idea

5:08 PM

@fbueckert we were very. We hosted the royal family of Portugal for while. So there are tons of pictures with people dressed like Europeans (lot's of cloth and wiggle too xD~)

user15026

@fbueckert If I got my whole shift, it would be $25 pretax ($12.50/hr, 2 hour shifts)

@SaintWacko Angel Beats. Pretty decent series.

@fbueckert there is also "Pagode" that came from Samba

user15026

@SaintWacko I am also going to jump on this bandwagon.

@Michel Hmm. Remind me to post a video of my Tango once we perform it (in about a month).

5:09 PM

Er

@SaintWacko fail?

@Michel Don't know what you're talking about >.>

@fbueckert date please

@Michel September 21st.

Hard to believe there's barely a month until it happens.

@fbueckert Ok, put it on my schedule =D

5:14 PM

@fbueckert ah, I've never seen it. I just love that gif

@SaintWacko Sorry. We were talking about dance (Style, types and stuff). @fbueckert will make a performance too =)

@SaintWacko If you like anime, watch it. There's a rather interesting story in it.

We've got a cultural festival happening this week. Might go check out the Brazilian pavilion.

@StrixVaria they are pretty retarded though. They just randomly start attacking CSs. There was a swedish spearman that was in battle for 3000 years because he would never attack the barbarians. My Inca team mates settled on all the tiny islands in the Caribbean (Americas map). They have 23 cities as of 1924. Another ally marched one severely damaged unit straight to the enemy capital city. Alone. The enemy civs always fight for 10 turns, then make peace, wait 30 turns then go to war again. — Crubleigh 24 mins ago

Ugh.

All of a sudden, I'm glad I don't live in this part of Florida

Q: How much is faith worth?

The Civilization 5 expansion Gods and Kings added a new faith mechanic. I noticed you can now use faith points instead of gold to buy units, but I did not see a conversion rate between prayers and gold. How much is a point of faith worth when trying to immediately purchase units or buildings?

Er...

pokes chat

Ullallulloo

@SaintWacko ow

@SaintWacko yep, I googled before I posted it, I get the same thing

Fluckbert Arqade is for constructive posts. if you don't ahve anythign constructive to add to a thread than jstu stay away. The Arqade community would appreciate it if you only posted constructive replies and comments. your trolling isn't helping anyone. If you can't play nice then go play outside. — Niesel Clementine 2 mins ago

And this, ladies and gentlemen, are why comments are optional.

And one of the main reasons I hate sympathy upvotes; they rob the message of any sting since they so heavily outweigh downvotes.

@fbueckert He might not have commented that if you had actually provided some constructive information on how he could improve the answer. Like 'you could add the video to your answer to make it better'

Fun fact to pity upvoters: You can change a downvote afterward if the post is edited to be made better.

5:41 PM

Fantastic demonstration of why crap questions should be closed quickly, before they can garner crap answers.

> if you don't ahve anythign constructive to add to a thread than jstu stay away

agughfs

It's frustrating to point out a problem, and get attacked for doing so. And have all incentive for improvement outweighed by voters who believe new users are more important than their contributions.

We're not going to improve our site quality like that at all.

@NieselClementine you said a lot of stuff from a lot of places. Why you don't post HERE that information. you said "Google is your best friend" but, it should be "Arqade is your best friend" =) Create a complete and well formulate answer. You just gave an advice not an answer. — Michel 14 secs ago

@BenBrocka Yeah... I was gonna comment about that, but I don't ahve anythign constructive to say.

@fbueckert Yes, it is! You have no idea.

5:50 PM

@Michel Thanks for the support, bud. :)

@Fluttershy So you're jstu staying away, then.

@Michel formulated*

@GnomeSlice I see ~~your passive aggressiveness~~ what you did there.

@GraceNote Ow.

@Fluttershy My edit?

5:50 PM

That physically hurts.

@OrigamiRobot Thanks

See? I am useflu.

@OrigamiRobot Ow.

@Fluttershy I'm not very good at regular aggressiveness.

@GnomeSlice The statement, yeah. Because you claim people do that to you all the time, so when Fluckbert mentioned it happening to him, etc., etc.. =P But I was mostly joking. Mostly.

5:53 PM

@Fluttershy twitch

@Fluttershy It was my intention to point it out.

@fbueckert And people who are using the post as a proxy to argue with you personally. "I'll show that @fbueckert who's boss by upvoting the posts he doesn't like."

@fbueckert Don't worry, we know your real name, Frebucket.

I usually just say f--kbucket. <_<

@OrigamiRobot I sincerely hope they're not doing that.

5:54 PM

@GraceNote Wasn't this supposed to anagram to "trebuchet"?

It just reinforces my point that votes are anonymous.

@Fluttershy Samesies!
