@WorldEngineer Thanks.

@WorldEngineer I'm trying.

We don't need multiple people to link the Steam sale in here every day

-.-

@kalina TARGET DESTROYED

I know, but it's IndieStatik's post about it

they recommended some good games

7:01 PM

@kalina Hey! Did you hear there's a steam sale?

@Unionhawk DIE IN A FIRE

user20683

@GnomeSlice It appears that your exception handling needs to be refactored.

Unionhawk

@kalina <3

@WorldEngineer What?

user20683

@GnomeSlice programming joke :P

7:02 PM

@WorldEngineer =[

user20683

@kalina Hot Water Vapor Day Before All Saints Day Discount Event. You heard yet?

FEichinger

@WorldEngineer It has been optimised away.

@WorldEngineer DIE IN A FIRE

user20683

@FEichinger Premature Optimization is the root of all evil

FEichinger

Oh, wait, I have a better one.

The unit test threw no exceptions.

FAE

7:03 PM

@WorldEngineer This sounds like a personal problem.

user20683

@GnomeSlice Delete that.

Q: I lost my weapon... what do i do?

@GnomeSlice still likely to get flagged

take my warning now before it happens

While playing realm of the mad god, I lost my weapon randomly and I cant get a new one. I tried looting bags i found but not of them were for wizard class

realm-of-the-mad-god

user20683

I've read the entire thing

7:05 PM

I hate you guys

this isn't about hate

@WorldEngineer No you haven't

it wasn't done

I'm trying to protect you from yourself

user20683

@GnomeSlice It was done enough.

@WorldEngineer Not really.

I took out the shit I got flagged for

Today's Listening

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina hey did you here there's a GOG sale?

user20683

@KevinvanderVelden I had not, thanks for reminding me

@KevinvanderVelden ...

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina you said nothing about other sales :)

7:14 PM

oh I took control of the front page again

and not a single person has complained about it

@WorldEngineer There's also one on ShinyLoot and Desura, if you are familiar with those

does this mean you've realised it's not worth the effort to try and change my compulsive need for destruction?

Shinyloot Halloween Sale

Yay. Fuzzy requirements leads to heartache all around.

Desura Halloween Sale

7:16 PM

@fbueckert our ignore lists share an individual now

@kalina ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

@fbueckert two now

@kalina I'm sorry... please unblock me. =[

@GnomeSlice If she has you ignored she can't see that.

user15026

@Wipqozn I was gonna mention that, but you beat me to it

7:19 PM

I am aware.

Well, that's three people that have me blocked now

If someone quotes (links) a chat message, can those who blocked the original user see the message when it's quoted?

Why do I even still come here

I get frustrated because I implement what they told me to, they get frustrated because I can't read minds and implement what they actually want it to do.

@kalina I only have three people ignored.

@3ventic Yes

user15026

@3ventic That is a very good question.

7:20 PM

@fbueckert Who are they?

user15026

@fbueckert You aren't a mind reader? :(

I know one of them, and I feel like I should know a second one.

@Wipqozn In addition, Retro and Decency.

I'm thinking scoot, but he's gone now.

@Wipqozn One of them is dun-dun-dun YOU

7:21 PM

@AshleyNunn Sorry, no.

scoot left?

@OrigamiRobot Then how did he reply to me? ANSWER THAT!

good point, why don't have I have retro on my list

I don't have anyone ignored because I don't need a fancy system to skip messages and be on my way

@kalina Yes. A few weeks ago.

user15026

7:21 PM

@fbueckert But then how will you know my trebuchet specifications

@Wipqozn You can reply via the transcript

@3ventic I used to be like that, and then I got bored of skipping over them

@OrigamiRobot But he'd need to see my message first!

Grace Note

@Wipqozn Or just by inputting the number

@AshleyNunn You want a trebuchet? I'll build you one.

7:22 PM

I apologize, everyone.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot HECK YES

OKAY, SORRY GUYS, I MEANT TO SAY WHY DID HE REPLY JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE‌EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ

@Wipqozn You can still see ignored users in the transcript

@kalina When I get bored of skipping over messages of particular users, I switch chat

user15026

I need one that can throw rocks REALLY far

7:22 PM

@OrigamiRobot Yes, but if he's just looking through the transcript all the time that defeats the point of ignoring me.

@3ventic also just telling most of these people that they've been blocked triggers something on an emotional level

they're so predictable

@Wipqozn In fact, that is more work than just skipping your messages.

oh, I might have just given away my game

dammit

@AshleyNunn You might be interested in Marvin's Mittens

@kalina They can see how many people have ignored them on their chat profile

7:24 PM

@OrigamiRobot I've never seen this myself, but I've heard it mentioned

@OrigamiRobot mods only I believe

from this I can only assume that everybody loves me

which, well... they should

@OrigamiRobot I can't.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot That's a mod-only thing

because I am lovable

@AshleyNunn how many people have me on ignore?

7:25 PM

@kalina You are my most used pokemon.

Can you guys accept my apology

I feel bad

@GnomeSlice Why should we?

This happens all the time.

@GnomeSlice no, because your apologies are only relevant for the particular second you're apologising, before you return back to your normal self

If you're really sorry then change your behaviour.

user20683

@GnomeSlice The only apology worth a damn from you is to change. Not try, actually change.

7:26 PM

Sep 12 at 16:27, by OrigamiRobot

@MichaelDunfield When you apologize for something and then do it multiple times further, apologizing again is just insulting.

I think you have an extremely short term memory or something

What am I even apologizing for

@GnomeSlice being @GnomeSlice

Coronus

@GnomeSlice Wow, this doesn't help the apology.

@GnomeSlice An empty apology is even worse.

7:27 PM

I'm sorry okay.

The shit I got flagged for got deleted can we just forget about it

You're the one that brought it up again.

You use apologies like they're some sort of social "Get out of jail free" card.

2

Well what do you expect me to do

user20683

@GnomeSlice No, not okay. We remember. Moving on isn't so easy for most of us. We grow weary. Ever hear the story of Peter and the Wolf? This has become "Gnomeslice and the Apology".

2 mins ago, by Wipqozn

If you're really sorry then change your behaviour.

7:28 PM

Every time I fuck up everybody hates me for like a week

@AshleyNunn Bigger = better.

user20683

@GnomeSlice Find a copy of "Emily Post's Etiquette for the 21st Century". Memorize the entire thing and operate by it.

Q: How should I prepare for Hardmode?

@WorldEngineer I get the feeling you don't really like me.

Lazers

0

So I have never actually even tried to go into Hardmode yet, for the simple reason that I've never truly felt fully prepared for the challenges that await me once I enter the Hardmode World...coupled with nostalgia for my old world, but setting that aside... What should a player have before they...

terraria

user20683

@GnomeSlice I am a mod, you cause problems. It's in the contract.

7:30 PM

@GnomeSlice the mods treat you and I the same, it's because we create disturbances in the force

it wouldn't be right for them to be pally pally

I just want everyone to like me

@GnomeSlice That's a bad plan

@WorldEngineer What 'problems'?

user20683

@GnomeSlice Where do I even begin...

user15026

@GnomeSlice Unfortunately, the nature of the world is that not everyone will. I am willing to bet there are people in here right now that don't like me, and that's fine, that's just life.

7:32 PM

@GnomeSlice is this a serious question?

@kalina Yes...

user20683

I know there are people that hate my guts.

@GnomeSlice wow

I love everybody

@WorldEngineer hate is such a strong word

7:33 PM

@AshleyNunn Lots of people don't like me here! I am alright with that.

user20683

@kalina Find distasteful?

@WorldEngineer don't see eye to eye

user15026

@kalina want to drop into a pit of man eating tigers?

@ash I've been playing PvZ2 on my tablet on my way to the airport and scored 2 keys from drops and 3 from a yeti in two hours

user20683

@kalina fair enough

7:33 PM

I'm not one of those though, my hate for moderators is purely business, nothing personal

I hate @WorldEngineer because he doesn't use replies.

PvZ2 has the right to see your network connections

user15026

@badp That's more than I have ever gotten overall, but damn, thats a lot of play for not a lot of keys

FEichinger

looks at transcript ... Huh, go figure.

Conspiracy theory: the game detected I playing in the public and rewarded me for it

7:34 PM

@badp - I'm upset that I only get Yeti's in the first world, where I have already unlocked everything.

user20683

@OrigamiRobot because I keep forgetting to install the keyboard thing, brb

Mad Scientist

@badp I though that isn't out yet?

@jas The yeti was in world two.

@WorldEngineer See? My hate instantly vanished.

@mad it's out for android in Germany, dunno about the rest

user15026

7:35 PM

@WorldEngineer Fail fail fail fail fail

user15026

@MadScientist I have it on my Android in Canada :)

user15026

@badp I like your conspiracy

or maybe it's Android in Italy because Italy is what the country of my credit card is and apparently that determines what your country is

I've had it for weeks. iPhone FTW.

@JasonBerkan I've had it for weeks, too. NZ download for the win.

7:37 PM

@jas and yet no yeti in world two!

user20683

@OrigamiRobot there we are

user15026

@fbueckert Cheater

@AshleyNunn Yup!

@badp Good point. Now I am sad about my phone choice.

Mad Scientist

@badp Seems to be available in Germany now

7:38 PM

Go get it than if you care for grinding

It's very much a grindfest

I'm saving up a fifth key in world 1 to start all levels at 75 sun

user15026

It really is. I mean you don't need friends, really, unlike in PvZA on FB, but you need to be willing to play levels over and over and over

Where the hell is Deus Ex: The Fall for Android devices

I suspect some sneaky Apple business going on in the background

Ben Brocka

Protip if you're reading the "PS4 does/doesn't" articles just read this: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/10/30/ps4-the-ultimate-faq-north-america/
News sites are just regurgitating lines from the newly released FAQ as several dozen articles per site

You know what other phone os making company has to pay app developers for exclusives? Microsoft

Ben Brocka

@AshleyNunn you do? in PvZ2? Lame

user15026

7:43 PM

@BenBrocka PvZ2 is super grindy if you want to open all the gates, because you need A LOT of keys

> higher frame rates (up to 60 frames per second)

The sound you're hearing is @kalina laughing so hard she set herself on fire

that happens some times

RedRiderX

Ugh there is no good choice!

Both of them will tick off someone I like!

Arrrgh!

Wait, is anyone else not getting a stylesheet for ArsTechnica?

What is wrong with the Interent today?

Wacom, SE, and now Ars.

I wonder how much my client would like it if I shoved a formalized change request process down their throats.

I'm guessing not very much.

interesting, a bunch of declined flags for stuff that actually got actioned

7:52 PM

I miss the ability to read deleted messages. I hate you all. But mostly @badp.

there's no need to read deleted messages

it's not really an important ability

It's the only important ability.

hardly

I'm boarding LH1866. See you on the other side.

enjoy

user15026

7:54 PM

@RedRiderX Did you get the email explaining teh Hallowmas stuff? :)

@kalina Nothing in chat is important, which either completely validates or completely invalidates your comment, depending on your point of view.

RedRiderX

@AshleyNunn You mean to not eat the masks?

I see The Gates of Midnight storylet.

@RedRiderX @AshleyNunn @Wipqozn Let's talk Fiasco!

user15026

@OrigamiRobot ooh yes

A: What is the name of this tower defense game?

How does this have 7 upvotes?

6

I missed by 20 minutes, but had fun researching. Here's how it went down: The video's user (nomisxid) posted this video 3 years ago just after PAX 2010 videos. There are 2 PAX conventions in 2010, but other videos were in Seattle so I just assumed. Researching Seattle PAX PRIME 2010 and Surfa...

I don't even think it's an answer.

7:58 PM

I may have consumed too much caffeine today

Okay, I guess it does mention the name at the end.
