my rainbow dash avatar demonstrates that rainbow dash has a tongue long enough to poke herself in the eye
 
@BenBrocka Are you saying that the Cutie Mark Crusaders are nothing? Because everyone knows nothing is worse than Friday.
 
WOW @fredley
 
The look of rage
 
2:00 PM
You just damaged the coolness of Rainbow Dash
now I have to change my avatar
 
@kalina D:
 
@kalina Probably by 20%
 
@kalina Why? That is not RD
 
you stole my hair do
this is CRIMINAL
 
Is Rainbow Dash like a drug or something
Or a spice
 
2:02 PM
@kalina You know what ... That makes me like it, actually.
 
I think everybody should stop talking to this imposter until the real @GnomeSlice returns
 
@FEichinger EPIC PONY WIN
 
@MichaelDunfield If Rainbow dash was a drug, she'd be acid
 
@fredley But there's a capitalisation error in it. So I'm indifferent again.
 
@MichaelDunfield Rainbow Dash is what happens when you take the drug.
 
2:03 PM
Rainbow Dash is what happens as you come down from the drugs
 
Better?
 
@fredley feICHINGER
 
@FEichinger make avatar now pls
 
Now I can like it with my infinite spite towards @kalina.
@fredley Nerpers, not gonna happen.
 
PUB TIME BYE NOW
 
2:04 PM
@fredley Yes, I like it
 
@FEichinger it's fine, you'll never use it as an avatar
therefore it's not infinite spite
 
> I have to share the credit [for ctrl-alt-del]. I may have invented it, but I think Bill [Gates] made it famous.

@Sterno Seconded.

@Sterno I like it

We need a separate room: Equestria: This is the part where all the Ponies squeal at you
 
Good Morning (or afternoon or even night) people and ponies from the bridge
 
@Michel Good morning
 
Everyone needs to stop telling this "good morning" lie.
 
@OrigamiRobot But it is a good morning. Somewhere. For someone. At some point.
 
2:06 PM
@OrigamiRobot Goooooooood morning Baltimore!
 
@OrigamiRobot morning, Origami!
 
@Michel I approve of the way you separate people from ponies.
2
 
(You'd be surprised by how many people infer "good" when I just say "morning")
Also, if you want people to stop being ponies, point out to them that it also means they're furries.

@Powerlord I regret that I have but one star to give to this

Q: Is it possible to survive multiple turns in enemy range?

The UglyIs there a way, if you get lucky enough early on in the game, to have maybe a healing drone (hull repair, I forget what it's called) and a couple powerful weapons, and then survive for many 'turns' (ftl jumps) inside the 'danger zone' where the super powerful rebel ships tend to screw you up? As ...

 
2:11 PM
Well, my stars are going to be gone quick today
 
So, anyway, the new season of Once Upon a Time is nearly upon us... starts Sunday.
And poor Danganronpa The Animation is nearly over. For the animation of the first game, that is. I seem to recall it had a sequel...
 
room topic changed to Equestria : Welcome to Equestria, wherein there is no cause for alarm, everything is fine, do not panic and please fully enjoy your continued breathing of perfectly fine, breathable air.

@kalina Yeh, no, not gonna happen.
 
@FEichinger refresh the page
 
@kalina Sadly, I refreshed, just to make sure this wasn't real
 
2:14 PM
I knew somebody would
 
@kalina This has piano keys in the stars list.
 
@kalina I know you aren't owner, you pesky little pony.
 
@kalina I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY THEN
 
@FEichinger there is no reason for me not to be, I've never even used room owner privs even when I was room owner
 
Although, technically, ponies are not actually off-topic. "no-ponies" is on-topic ... And you can't really talk about that without talking about ponies. So ... I guess that means ponies are actually on topic.
 
2:15 PM
blame @OrigamiRobot, I was a victim of his first rampage
 
@kalina Pesky. Little. Pony.
 
@FEichinger It means no ponies are on-topic.
 
Damn. Apparently, my data migration process missed some data.
 
@fbueckert selective data migration
 
2:16 PM
@kalina This is after I double and triple checked it.
 
@kalina I would've gone with "senile network".
 
@kalina I rampaged you?
Sorry about that.
 
And the system's been in use for two months.
 
@OrigamiRobot I was literally the first person you removed
you monster
 
I had to do it. I promised.
 
2:16 PM
@fbueckert ouch, always sucks when that happens :(
 
@KevinvanderVelden Indeed. So, first step, re-add the data from the original. Next step, figure out why it didn't get transferred.
 
Ping me any further Pony requests, I'm off to the pub now.
 
@fredley Can I request no more ponies?
 
Sometime next year, NIS America is bringing Danganronpa 1 and 2 to the EU and NA regions. Too bad it's for the Vita.
 
That game is the shit. <3
 
2:20 PM
@fredley My pony request is to stop filling pony requests.
Oh, @gnodoesn'tautocomplete already did that.
 
@fredley alcoholism pony
 
@Sterno I have determined that fredley's links are even more annoying than gnomeslice's and taken the appropriate actions.

@BenBrocka No, LessPop is already ponified.
 
True
 
@OrigamiRobot What are the appropriate actions?
 
2:22 PM
 
@Sterno Softly weeping while I click the ignore link.

I hereby declare that pony picture posters are no longer allowed to complain about people trolling them in here.
 
What's so special about the "Steam Special edition" of Tropico 4?
 
I always read "steam edition" as "this game is on steam now but we wanted to make it sound special"
like KOFXIII Steam edition, I have no idea if it's actually any different
 
First impressions: Steam Marines is really promising.
 
2:32 PM
@OrigamiRobot this would make for a great art student film of The Bridge
The Bridge: A Devastating Tale of Stars, Alcoholism, Ponies and Sarcasm

lolololol
 
@BenBrocka And Bacon!
 
My god, it's full of ponies.
 
@BenBrocka ...with a hint of mod abuse?

Q: What is special about the "Steam Special Edition" of Tropico 3 and 4?

Private PansyThe latest Humble Weekly sale features games from Kalypso Media, amongst them Tropico 3 and 4, marked as "Steam Special Edition" on the sales page What's so special about the Steam Special Edition of these two games?

Q: Why does Raven burn the Avatar on Ultima IX?

RobertoThere's a "sex scene" on Ultima IX, where Raven ties the Avatar in a chair and burns him with some kind of branding iron. He says "I don't understand", and so do I. Definitely the most bizarre scene ever. I thought it would have something to do with the story later, but it doesn't, or I missed.

 
2:36 PM
@TimStone spoilers
 
@BenBrocka
Wow I didn't realize they were struggling that much
 
@MichaelDunfield heard about it, hope they do well
 
Also if you donate $25 you get like 10 exclusive games and a bunch of chiptune
 
Given standard last-day pushes, it'll probably at least meet funding though
 
@BenBrocka Also, you might have seen this too, but Cornerstone has a kickstarter now as well

Q: What are the measurements of different distances in League of Legends?

AsmageddonI want width, height, lane length(between individual turrets, and inhibitors, as well as total length), lane width, etc. in game units, for all the maps. If you could provide me with exact values then that would be awesome, if not, approximates will likely work too, though I've found some of the...

 
@Lazers And this is why I have LoL ignored.
 
@Lazers See? Without lore questions, we'd miss out on these gems.
 
Forget Tropico, SkyDrift is where it's at. — Michael Dunfield 1 min ago
... /facepalm
 
snickers
 
i DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT QUESTION.
GUESS WHO'S USING AUTOCAD!
 
2:48 PM
ORIGAMILOUDBOT
 
@Lazers Well, it's 32 nibbleblammers between turrets.
 
@Powerlord Pff yeah if you use Imperial
 
@BenBrocka No, no, no, that's a riotous unit, not imperial.
 
@Powerlord Badum-tsh
 
2:52 PM
@Sterno That is, almost guaranteed, not answered in the story.
 
@Sterno That's not a lore question..
 
SkyDrift is fucking awesome.
 
0
Q: People can see me! What do I do?

John the GreenFrequently, while playing as a hero that relies on invisibility (such as Broodmother), there comes a point in the game where I should be invisible, yet people walk right up to me and attack me anyway. How do they do this and how can I counter it?

 
I feel sorry for whoever gets to be the Worm mascot there
2
 
@BenBrocka HAahahahahahahaahahahah
 
2:55 PM
@MichaelDunfield And we fucking get it. But you don't have to keep spamming this chat about it, and you definitely do not spam the gorram site with comments to that effect
 
@PrivatePansy I'm not 'spamming' anybody...
 
If I was in a better mood this evening I might have found this little bit of idiocy charming, but not tonight
 
@PrivatePansy That's not my fault, but okay.
 
I'm bored
Is it hometime yet
 
@kalina skydrift
 
2:58 PM
@PrivatePansy I suspect people would get very annoyed if I mentioned Monster Hunter every five minutes.
 
skydrift is cheap, awesome, build for xbox 360, crashes and made entirely of fun.
or at least that is what i get from @PrivatePansy's link
 
@Blem Yes all of these things and more
 
@MichaelDunfield Thanks =)
 
@fbueckert Monster Hunter
please wait 4 minutes, 52 seconds
 
@kalina Monster Hunter
 
3:00 PM
MONSTER HUNTER
 
It really is a very awesome game.
 
has a nice logo
those clouds look nice
 
Also, @Raven and @Ben picked it up, so you'd have newbies to play with if you got it, too, @kalina
 
looks like a duck or a chocobo that is sitting down(can they do that?)
 
@kalina IN FULL BLEEPING HD
 
3:02 PM
@kalina Pretty sure that's a photo of clouds.
 
Monster Hunter?
 
Monster Hunter!
 
@PrivatePansy It's probably upscaled at best, considering the graphics
 
hey guys check this out
 
@OrigamiRobot Monster Hunter. It's the best thing since sliced bread. Or at least Skydrift.

Q: How do I counter Abaddon late game?

John the GreenHis ult, "Borrowed Time", seems unbelievably powerful. I've seen an allied Abaddon charge into the enemy fountain on purpose, to heal (while killing stuff, of course). Recently, Abaddon was single-handedly wrecking my entire team, late game, despite my teammates in lane against him killing him ...

 
@OrigamiRobot I can't even identify which monster that is.
 
so, Monster Hunter
 
It looks like a Dire Miralis.
 
3:06 PM
@fbueckert I am not going to buy a console just to play Monster Hunter
 
@fbueckert It's pretty obviously a Dire Miralis
 
@MichaelDunfield I think you might even like this Monster Hunter game
 
@kalina I did.
 
@PrivatePansy I have never played the first ones, but probably.
 
And a TV
 
3:07 PM
@OrigamiRobot Oh, the flames are obscuring the wings.
 
Hasn't Monster Hunter 4 been out in Japan for the better part of a year now?
 
Image recognition filters didn't match!
@Powerlord About two weeks.
 
Oh whoops, most of a year ago is when it was announced.
 
@OrigamiRobot well poor you
I wouldn't make such an investment
 
@kalina I have no regrets
 
3:08 PM
yes but you buy games like payday 2 and then play them for 15 hours before not playing them anymore
 
Cu people, have a good friday and see you tomorrow
 
I have 180 hours in the game and no reason to stop any time soon. @Wipqozn has nearly 400 hours.
 
@OrigamiRobot I have more than this in payday 2, in a month
 
@kalina You're willing to play with randos
 
@OrigamiRobot what you're saying, is to date, over the course of months, you've paid $1 per hour to play Monster Hunter
 
3:10 PM
@Blem Copper people?
 
@OrigamiRobot And I'm at ~325.
 
@kalina Wait... Monster Hunter games have monthly fees?
 
@Powerlord no, he had to buy a console and the game, just to play the game
 
@kalina Oh, right, dur
 
@kalina Pretty cheap for a hobby.
 
3:11 PM
@kalina I spent $120 on MtG in one weekend.
 
@OrigamiRobot words do not describe
@MichaelDunfield Monster Hunter
 
I spent over $200 on MtG in the past week (That's counting that $120 form last weekend)
 
@kalina What about it?
 
@MichaelDunfield I don't know, you should get it or something. I was just making a statement.
@OrigamiRobot wow.
the best thing about MtG cards
they're highly flammable
 
This looks neat
50% off on Desura too, and you get a steam key desura.com/games/day-one-garrys-incident
 
3:14 PM
@MichaelDunfield REJECTED: not Monster Hunter
 
That's the annoying thing about MtG, I enjoy it when I play, but it's so expensive, so I never get any practice so suck.
 
@fbueckert Yeah, Star Command is fun, but I'm pretty disappointed now that I'm seeing how shallow it is
@RonanForman This is why I don't do collectable card games
 
@SaintWacko Almost everything leads to combat.
Like those stupid birds, who make fun of you for falling for their joke.
That's a poor excuse for combat.
 
@fbueckert Yeah, and you never get a new ship, or new weapons, or new anything
 
@RonanForman So play online.
 
3:15 PM
@OrigamiRobot That still costs.
 
@RonanForman Look up LackeyCCG
 
Combat is fun, but there's nothing to keep me playing it
 
@OrigamiRobot Neat, I was trying to make something like that recently.
 
@SaintWacko As mentioned earlier, the game crashed when I picked up a call. Which is amazing for a phone game
 
@PrivatePansy Wow, yeah. And when I hit the menu button, the system UI crashed

Q: What effect does sludge have?

The UglyIn the "slums" (the level with sludge covering the ground and with zombie-like humanoids), what effect does the sludge have? I know that it damages you when you touch it, but I have no idea what effect it has on the "lumes" (the name for the enemies in sanctum 2). It appears to give them damage b...

 
You'd almost think it wasn't originally designed as a phone game or something
 
@RonanForman I just settle for my "I'll probably be destroyed but hey I got Last Stand" deck generally.
 
@Lazers If he's talking about Sanctum 2, that has the wrong tag
 
The game feels like a late beta. There's a good foundation for a very good game, but it feels incomplete
 
@RonanForman Also, try playing EDH. It's as expensive as you want it to be.
 
3:19 PM
@PrivatePansy It crashed for me when I tried to use the Shield Booster.
 
Like when I first created my character there was only two choice of skin colors, which made me question why they bother letting you choose in the first place
 
@OrigamiRobot Please state the nature of the medical emergency.
Wait, no, that's Emergency Medical Hologram, not Emergency Doctor Hologram.
 
It is a pretty shallow game. It's only a self-admitted 30% of what they promised it would be.
 
@GraceNote I have a Last Stand
 
@OrigamiRobot Is it still handy?
 
3:20 PM
> Note: This question is about the game "Sanctum 2", but there is no tag for Sanctum 2, only for the prequel, Sanctum. Because there will not likely be enough questions applying only to Sanctum 2 for a new tag, this goes in sanctum for the foreseeable future.
That's not how tags work!
 
@GraceNote Never used it
 
@fbueckert It is how tags work on other sites, I'm afraid.
 
I used it a couple times. Semi-nice but it was a primary-green rainbow deck and it also had Life/Death so basically when I used it, I'd just overwhelm the enemy with about 18 saprolings and all my lands to win by force alone.
 
@FEichinger It...is? Really?
 
@fbueckert We used to cull tags that didn't show up on at least two questions.
 
3:22 PM
@fbueckert Automatic tag cleanup is an ugly thing in some instances.
 
Though the "Let's use the wrong tag" logic would be wrong on any site, really.
 
@GraceNote I remember that. People worked around it by not creating a new tag, though?
 
@fbueckert No, we just had a nightmare of a time repeatedly cleaning to put the names back.
 
@GraceNote That of course, but generally you'd have a taxonomy that allows for a different, yet appropriate tag. We don't have that.
 
Nope, and thankfully we no longer need it.
 
3:23 PM
@fbueckert No, we worked around it by going back and retagging all the questions every six months. Or by asking a second question about the game.
 
@GraceNote I meant in reference to other sites.
I know we just went through it and retagged as necessary.
 
@fbueckert On other sites I've not known a lot of logic of people ever paying attention to that rule or even knowing it existed.
 
That said, I thought we already had a
 
In fact I'm kinda surprised this user got worried about it. It's one of the rules that we process wonks know about but few normal users know.
@FEichinger We had a meta question by the guy a few days ago asking about how to do this in tagging, but I don't think he actually asked.
 
@GraceNote Oh, okay. That might be what I remember.
 
3:26 PM
@GraceNote I pretty much only play EDH now, and you're limited to the color identity of your general (A legendary creature). I don't have any 5 color generals.
 
@OrigamiRobot EDH is something from after my time I think? I've no idea, the last time I worked on deck building, Last Stand was from the latest release set.
 
@GraceNote That was a loooong time ago.
 
@GraceNote I was half way through typing that
 
EDH is a player created format that was rather recently adopted as an official format.
 
3:28 PM
inb4 me
 
@OrigamiRobot Yes it was. Penumbra Wurm is still probably my best card. Aside from I guess Thran Golem. But I can't really use Thran Golem.
 
@kalina Same here.
 
@OrigamiRob I will be making a monster hunter character today! In <4 hours!!!
 
@GraceNote I have a penumbra wurm too, but it came in a precon from Apocalypse.
 
@OrigamiRobot The same pre-con that had Last Stand. You can figure what I had from that.
 
3:29 PM
RE: MTG. I have a pair of Chrome Mox's. I think those'd be my best cards.
 
Thran Golem... I can't remember how I got it. I really do want to use it but I can't actually remember if I have any enchant creature cards.
Positive ones, at least. I have a bunch of negative ones.
 
So, how many different mods have locked the Pony meta topic now? 3?
 
@RavenDreamer I need exactly two Chrome Moxes
 
@OrigamiRobot Yep, that one.
 
3:31 PM
For my landless deck with a turn 1 wincon
 
@Powerlord It's been touched by the abusive hands of three mods
 
We should reopen it so @Mana can lock it and make the circle complete.
 
There's 6 mods.
 
@OrigamiRobot I don't honestly know where they are. Probably at my parent's house, some where.
 
3:35 PM
@RavenDreamer If you can find them and they are in good condition, I will gladly buy them from you.
 
I think one of the mods should unlock the pony thread so we can update it with all of the new ponies, then you can lock it again
2
if you really want to
 
@kalina agreed
 
Meh, just close this question instead: meta.gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/3775/…
 
@PrivatePansy I want to out of spite, but I don't want to because I don't believe either of them should be closed.
 
Oh, and lock it too, for good measure. Because otherwise the anti-MTG crowd would flood the mod queue with pointless flags
@kalina I honestly don't know / care if either of those are on topic for Meta, but I do care about consistency
 
3:39 PM
the fact of the matter is, the MTG one is still open because all of the pony fans aren't childish enough to stamp our feet about it
WHICH IS IRONIC, RIGHT?
 
There, now it's closed.
 
while it's not locked, expect a reopen/close war
(I'm not taking part in it, for the above reasons)
 
If one happens we'll get around to a lock. 'til then, I think the closure will be fine.
 
No girls fun allowed on meta.
 
Everywhere ponies go, everything becomes ruined.
 
3:43 PM
Secret Santa should be closed as well.
 
Everything should be closed. shuts down the internet
 
@TimStone has spoken.
 
It will be done.
 
Well, it was good while it lasted. Nice knowing you all.
Except @TimStone, for obvious reasons.
 
3:45 PM
@TimStone is just doing what has to be done.

I've had a sip of coffee and a consequent change of heart. We're all safe...for now.
 
All hail the great and merciful @TimStone

A: How do I acquire artifacts?

jeffrey newmanTake off the images of green it doesn't show money. So why is money so green? If I had a million dollars would it be in a field of green grass? Would it be a wooden chest you dig up. If I had a shovel on that day of exploration I would think that. I found what every child thinks money leads to. ...

 
@OrigamiRobot I agree, it's not about Arqade
 
I want some of whatever he's having
 
we should also close all of the meetup questions, questions about games being released like Diablo 3, etc
none of these are about how Arqade works and therefore are off topic
burn them all
leave no survivors
 
3:51 PM
@PrivatePansy wat ... Actually, wait:
 
we don't need the post about stackgaming or mumble either
off topic
 
@PrivatePansy You mean like pony pictures?
 
burn it with fire
 
@kalina Oh, that too, I just think Secret Santa is stupid.
 
3:52 PM
@OrigamiRobot I think the concept of fictional gift givers teaches the young lies about the world
 
@3ventic Maybe not, but I tend to just lump "plot" under "lore"
 
@FEichinger What was that in regards to?
 
such treachery should result in the spreaders of lies being set fire to
 
I just hate happiness
 
@OrigamiRobot Lies. Robots do not feel emotions.
 
3:53 PM
@fbueckert Context for that one is Red Wedding. Aptly titled "Kill Your Darlings".
 
@Sterno What? It's not about plot either...
 
I just hate robots
 
@PrivatePansy Which is why I hate it. I am jealous.
 
Who's up for some Sky Nations tonight with @mattcanj and @GnomeSlice tonight ?
I'm famous.
 
@OrigamiRobot It's "What the hell is happening in this scene? I don't understand it." What do you call that?
 
3:54 PM
@OrigamiRobot Now, depending on one's definition, jealousy may or may not be an emotion.
 
The spammers are back.
 
@Sterno Are we talking about the same question?
 
@MichaelDunfield you're @mattcanj?
 
@OrigamiRobot Maybe not. I wonder if I originally replied to the wrong thing.
My reply path look okay. I'm talking about this one
 
@Sterno Nope, I incorrectly assumed you were replying to the more recent @Lazers post that @fbueckert replied to.
IGNORE ME
4
 
3:56 PM
I just got back from lunch. I'm catching up on like an hour of chat.
 
@OrigamiRobot Done
 
@Sterno you take hour long lunches?
do you actually get any work done?
 
@kalina Sometimes longer!
 
YES I KNOW I JUST SAID THOSE WORDS
 
Given that I'm usually in around 7am and stay until 5pm, yes.
 
3:56 PM
such a hypocrite, etc etc
 
I take hour long lunches.
 
@OrigamiRobot consider yourself on my ignore list, as requested
 
@kalina Thank you. Now I don't have to tell you that.
 
Every job I've ever had has given me hour long lunches.
 
@FEichinger care cup is completely empty
 
3:58 PM
@kalina I still think "care cup" sounds like a really weird euphemism.
 
I thought hour for lunch was a standard.
 
it's a metaphor
not a euphemism
sheesh
 
Where I worked over the summer, I got up to :45's, and at least :30's.
 
@OrigamiRobot It's almost like there's a law regarding it, or something. (Though most laws up here stipulate a 30 minute lunch break.)
 
Most of my lunches are much quicker, because I run out, get food, and come back and eat at my desk. Today I actually sat down at a table with real live people though.
 
3:58 PM
I rarely even taken lunch breaks
@Sterno no, this can't be true
 
That said, I could take 4 hours for lunch and it wouldn't matter so long as I get my work done.
 
YOU? around OTHER PEOPLE?
 
But that's because it was a minimum-wage hire-ALL-the-people thing at an amusement park, where hourly rotations were critical to the sanity of our operation
 
@Sterno 4 hours would probably be pushing it, but yea, same here.
 
@kalina Sure, they give seniors a discount at MCL Cafeteria on Fridays
 
3:59 PM
@kalina Old people are from a time where they hung out in the same physical space.
