@Wipqozn domesticated rats yeah. I can leave the cage open at night and while they may roam outside a little bit they'll be back in the cage in the morning :)

user15026

Its like the sink "fandom" on tumblr (yeah, sinks, like in your bathroom) - makes me want a place I can do stuff like change the sink and crap

@KevinvanderVelden When I first saw that message I thought it was in reply to me saying they ate your face.

and you know, the money to do so

Wipqozn

In other news, toodles all.

@Wipqozn it originally was actually

@Wipqozn cya :) Have fun puzzling

@FAE I've never rented a place with more than a half-length tub, let alone any dreams of ownership

Trying to have an enjoyable and/or relaxing time in a half-length bath tub is very frustrating

@LessPop_MoreFizz FYI, I edited your comment here. Super User Mods don't want the question (off-topic for them too), so I removed the tail end of your comment suggesting the migration.

I made a ship

4:04 PM

@GnomeSlice Gnormandy?

@fredley Unfortunately I don't think you get to name it, it's just a demo of the shipbuilding thing.

@fredley mandategame.com/mandateshipbuilder/shipbuilder.html

@GnomeSlice What did you make that in?

@SaintWacko mandategame.com/mandateshipbuilder/shipbuilder.html

@RavenDreamer You still around?

As the captain of a Mandate starship, you lead a crew through the galaxy where they will adapt and grow as they fight alongside you.

This looks awesome

4:05 PM

@Fluttershy You still around?

Not sure about the whole 'season pass' thing though. I hate that.

@OrigamiRobot I am!

Me too!

@Blem Is this about sloths?

@Fluttershy How is Castle Story?

@OrigamiRobot "Kristen Bell's Sloth Meltdown"

4:06 PM

@OrigamiRobot Would you believe me if i say No?

I can only see the thumbnail

@GnomeSlice I haven't played it yet. >_> I tried it in the prototype stage, and it wasn't very good.

@OrigamiRobot oh, my thumbnail doesn't show the sloth

But I know Kristen Bell loves sloths and she went on Ellen and talked about how she freaked out when her boyfriend brought one home or sommat.

@Blem Mine either.

@GnomeSlice How big is this thing? I'm having to wait for it to download!

4:07 PM

@fredley The ship builder preview? It didn't even take that long for me to load it.

@GnomeSlice I have a ridiculously fast internet connection, why am I waiting?!?

@fredley Seriously. You two did switch places, didn't you? Now fredley has GnomeSlice's ridiculously slow Internet and vice versa.

@JasonBerkan GnomeSlice was my glovepuppet all along

or socks

By the way, here are the answers for the security check. I think it's like their version of a captcha

@OrigamiRobot She likes sloths more than you hate them

4:09 PM

whatever

If you don't feel like reading the kickstarter

@GnomeSlice I got 8/10

@fredley Nice.

I got 10/10 without reading it hah

FEichinger

Sharing them kind of undermines the effort, doesn't it?

@GnomeSlice I was being silly. Fail horribly and constantly implode...

4:11 PM

@Blem NEVER.

FEichinger

I mean, I suppose there's a reason for the "security check" ... Such as, you know, getting people interested in the game by reading about it first.

@OrigamiRobot did you watch the clip? theres is not a lot of sloth in it

Guh this looks amazing

I'm really looking forward to Homeworld: Shipbreakers

@GnomeSlice I think this game was made by J. J. Abrams

@SaintWacko I don't think he's a game developer.

4:14 PM

@SaintWacko needs more lens flares

@KevinvanderVelden Thank you, someone got it :P

No, I got it.

That game looks really awesome, though

I just finished the Stanley Parable Demo. Never before have I played a game so full of "wat"

@John I'm sure we can fix that

@John You didn't press the Disagree button, did you?

@badp By the time I found it, I didn't think about pressing it..

@5pike as a SE moderator I am obliged to love this update

YouTube flags went from "report spam" to:

@badp You should mod abuse this by rolling it back and deleting it so the user isn't awarded rep for such a terrible contribution.

I hope the more meaningful selection of flag reasons also brings more meaningful action against those posts.

Interstellaria now has a kickstarter

ooooooooo

@Fluttershy No, I shouldn't. But I can deny any further reputation on that post either way.

@badp I just don't think we should be encouraging edits like that one.

Fans of FTL may be interested in that one.

4:25 PM

@Fluttershy Regardless the edit happened and there's no point in pretending somebody didn't spend time polishing a turd.

Also I think that reviewing such a post as "Radical Change" kind of misses the entire point of why we can edit each other posts to begin with.

@GnomeSlice This seems to be half funding a band and half paying for software licenses.

@badp I disagree, but I'm not in the mood to argue about it now.

@fredley It looks like they already have the art and stuff down already, not surprised to be honest.

Chipzel is doing the music too, gonna be sweet.

@badp I can't see the deleted answer. Was it actually from the same user?

@badp Burn this while you're at it

4:28 PM

@JasonBerkan Yes

@Fluttershy That edit changes the whole meaning of the post..

heh

@3ventic I know. And it shouldn't be allowed. But oh well, apparently.

@badp If that's the other answer, that edit is too much.

There's complete added sentences that the person did not write.

4:29 PM

What he should have done was edit the attempt at answering and flag the non-answer.

@OrigamiRobot Or just flag both answers and post his own answer. Because as it stands, he posted his own answer under someone else's account.

Q: Are my walls too thin to keep creepers from arming?

Some of my friends and I are building a wall to encompass the entirety of our house and farms, but creepers tend to explode and flood us with zombies in the night, because the walls are made of cobblestone fence (cobblestone wall). I am wondering if they are blowing up because cobblestone walls a...

@Fluttershy He misread the one he edited.

Since Monday is a U.S. holiday, our work hours for this week are due today at noon. Including which projects we're billing for time for the rest of today and all of tomorrow.

@GnomeSlice This is a really fun game

4:32 PM

@Powerlord It's a holiday in other places as well - just a different holiday.

@SaintWacko Yeah, and really weird too.

But it's pretty fun.

@GnomeSlice Ha, that's for sure

Building your own vehicles is really cool

@Powerlord MONDAY IS A HOLIDAY?

Let down a little by confusing vehicle construction and physics at some points.

They work pretty well, too

4:33 PM

@OrigamiRobot Veteran's Day

@JasonBerkan True, but since I work for the government of the U.S. State of Michigan, the U.S. holiday is why I have to guess which projects and how many hours to bill to it.

@Powerlord I guess you will work on TF2 server issues.

@JasonBerkan Well, no, but eh

@raven fair enough, though am I correct that the rejection is for low quality, and not because it's strictly off topic?

Q: What does a "Team Flare Bag" do in Super Training?

It says - "For some reason knocking the stuffing out of this bag feels so good" in the description. Considering its rarity I dont want to waste it if it is any good, so anyone has any idea what this thing is for?

For those interested, here's some more coverage of Interstellaria by IndieStatik.

4:37 PM

I actually work on the administrative side of our mapping web application. The data from which is used for such unimportant things as 911 districting, Gerrymandering, tracking forest fires, GPS, figuring out which roads needs to be repaired and other unimportant things.

Along with the inevitable comparison to FTL.

> Interstellaria goes a little more in-depth with crew management than FTL, though. That’s due to the developer wanting it to be more of a sim, as well as an RPG. So you’ll have to make sure the crew eat, sleep and entertain themselves so they can perform at their best. Permadeath means that if they die, they’re gone for good. But this is a game about constant progress. So as long as your entire ship isn’t wiped you, you can keep going.

I hate kickstarter, you can't use paypal to back shit

@GnomeSlice Since when?

Nothing says "fun" to me like making sure virtual people eat, sleep, and poop appropriately.

4

@3ventic Since forever? The project owner has to set up a paypal service elsewhere (usually on their own site) for kickstarter.

Indiegogo on the other hand, accepts paypal.

@GnomeSlice Ah, I guess I backed through the developer site then

4:39 PM

@Sterno This is exactly what I was thinking.

What's dumb is that I've been pulled off of actually fixing things to work on... help pages of all things.

Which bugs me when I know that Boundary Change Requests can't currently be edited and you can't even view the details of CRASH requests (used by the Michigan State Police to track automobile accidents).

@Fluttershy Someone who isn't me should make a meta, because this isn't the first instance of this.

@Powerlord Those are a contracted deliverable! Delivering with bugs can be forgiven, but missing deliverable items cannot!

@Sterno Hahahahahaha :P

@Sterno This is an internal application. It's funded by our own office and by the Michigan Department of Transportation.

4:41 PM

I've always loved how every software project I've been on has been successful, because the PM has redefined successful to equal "what we got done in the time alloted".

@JasonBerkan ...our "PM" was never actually trained as a PM and isn't part of the PM group for our office. For our flagship application.

@AshleyNunn ....hate writing essays.

What kind of essay anyway?

user15026

It's my Forms of Fantasy final essay

Whenever someone brings it up I can never not post it again:

I just read something about final fantasy and was like "...yep I need more caffeine this morning"

@RedRiderX This should get it out

I'm tempted by Terraforma

@GnomeSlice That looks really interesting, The Mandate!

4:50 PM

@Cerberus Yeeeeeees, I was going to link it to you later. ;]

@LessPop_MoreFizz Eeeeh

It is trending towards 75 %, though...

wow

I AM AWAKE

@Cerberus What?

4:51 PM

@RedRiderX SNACK. SNACK. SNACK. CRUNCH.

@kalina But are you here?

o_O

4:51 PM

@Cerberus Oh, I see... well you never know, there's often a big push at the end.

Kicktraq predicts it may only reach 75 % of its goal.

@John cute

Yes, anything is possible!

It should increase as it gains exposure too.

@kalina scary

4:52 PM

@Unionhawk I'm about 10% here, in mind

@GnomeSlice They have included that in their prediction, presumably.

@kalina I can't be too careful. I heard you've developed a tendency to set people on fire.

It needs a boost. The word needs to be spread!

@Cerberus Kind of hard to predict that sort of thing accurately, no?

Absolutely.

4:52 PM

@John many people believe I only set people I like on fire

@Cerberus Also, interstellaria is on kickstarter now as well.

Whenever I think I'm lazy for waking up at noon, @kalina comes along and wakes up at 5pm.

For those interested, here's some more coverage of Interstellaria by IndieStatik.

@kalina Oh whew, I should be safe, then.

You might like this since you liked FTL.

4:53 PM

@GnomeSlice nobody was interested

@kalina Well somebody starred the kickstarter link

So somebody was interested.

@GnomeSlice they probably just saw you chatting and starred it because.. GnomeSlice

@GnomeSlice You linked me to it yesterday, I think. It looks really good in some ways, but I'm afraid I'm really not in the mood for platformers at the moment.

@Cerberus I think the platforming is only part of it.

Also, you're right, I forgot I linked it to you yesterday.

Whoops.

I agree that if you link an ad/articles/kickstarter/review/whatever, you probably don't need to quote yourself and link it again 15 minutes later.

4:54 PM

Also I tried Starship Corporation

The more exposure, the better!

What is that about?

Or we'll start calling you GnomeSpam

It's really unpolished, and clearly unfinished.

@Unionhawk at least I'm not tired now

@Sterno I was posting it for someone I was talking to.

4:54 PM

@Sterno start?

Ullallulloo

It's @John. :O

@kalina shh... LET ME HAVE THIS AT LEAST

@Unionhawk no

D:

@kalina Yes, start.

4:56 PM

@Sterno Personally, I think Spamslice has more of a ring to it.

@LessPop_MoreFizz You are correct.

@Sterno Also a better visual metaphor:

=[

I will refrain from calling you SpamSlice. Probably.

@GnomeSlice Okay, I'll stop, but I do think that that would be a prt good new gravatar for you, and I say that with utmost friendship intended.

4:57 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz Spam gravatar?

I will not refrain from heckling you about the incessant Kickstarter/indie game spam though

But... but my brain head guy...

@Sterno you remove the fun from everything

stop being so old

@GnomeSlice Could be incorporated therein

@kalina I'm working on being even older.

4:59 PM

@Sterno that's not even possible.

Well today's off to a good start. Missed an important meeting with prof this morning, and missed my first class. God dammit.

I hate Thursdays for some reason.

Do you guys really think I'm a spammer or are you just joking

Also, I should probably get my scheduling together so I don't have to wake up before noon.

@Ullallulloo Where?!

Ullallulloo

@John Behind you!

5:01 PM

@Ullallulloo AAH

@GnomeSlice I'm pretty sure an analysis of your chat history would reveal that 25%+ of everything you've ever posted to chat is a link to something else

3

that % is a conservative guess

@GnomeSlice If we thought you were really a spammer, we would raise spam flags, rather than heckle you.

@Unionhawk But....we do.

The German sponsor of the Xbone, apparently. Germans, right?

@John Spam flags or offensive flags?

@Unionhawk in chat they're both the same thing

5:04 PM

Because I don't believe he's been banned for a kickstarter/indie game link ever.

@Unionhawk Want.

I just ignore him. If he'd cut down on the incessant linking, I might unignore him.

@OrigamiRobot That's explains why you haven't been answering my pings for a while I guess.

@Unionhawk @FEichinger

(I surely hope I spelled that right, autocomplete wasn't there to save me)

c_c

5:06 PM

pizzaburger?

@GnomeSlice But then he'll never see this message...

PizzaBurger sounds awesome.

@kalina I know. Here, the Xbone is sponsored by Doritos and Mountain Dew.

But it sounds... intriguing.

and it's making me hungry dammit, but I don't want to have to put pants on.

@Unionhawk You can order pizza.

5:08 PM

@OrigamiRobot Still requires pants.

Just tell them to leave the pizza at the door.

The closest they can get is outside, which is downstairs and way far down the hall. Requires pants.

You live in a bad place for not liking pants.

Move to a more pantsless friendly place.

@GnomeSlice You're a hobby spammer rather than a professional spammer.

^^ This is currently attempting to pull my left sock off.

Debating whether to allow her to do so.

5:13 PM

Bawwwwwwwwwwwww

@LessPop_MoreFizz Do it

@SaintWacko It's more a matter of not doing it. She'll succeed with enough effort unless I intervene.

Also, @LessPop_MoreFizz, why did I not know you have a long-haired dachsund?

I have two of them

user15026

Do you really need socks? :P

@SaintWacko I don't know. She is the successor to a prior long haired dachshund who passed away last year. :/

5:17 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz Aww :(

Longhair doxies are da best

@LessPop_MoreFizz They really are

One of mine always steals my socks

Long-haired dachsunds are great. Short-haired ones look like walruses if the get fat.

@OrigamiRobot Well don't let them get fat.

@OrigamiRobot which is kind of adorable in it's own right

@GnomeSlice That does seem pretty amazing, but I can't help but wonder how much of the colour choices are left up to the colourer.

How many of these colours are just artistic choice.

user15026

@RedRiderX yeah, I have always wondered how that works.

@LessPop_MoreFizz I spoke to one of the mods, who said it was simply off-topic.

Yeah, like that one

how can they know what colours were on her dress?

@GnomeSlice They guess.

5:39 PM

@RedRiderX She certainly was.
