@mordi2k THAT'S IT.

Wow I used to be a lot more respectable in here.

My new years resolution is that I'm going to get everybody to unblock me because I'm going to stop being a loser.

I will never post anything nsfw again

I will never curse at someone again

I will never do that other thing I do again

I promise.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@gnome well, aside from the unnecessary self deprecation, a worthy goal.

Best of luck.

6:38 AM

I just saw an ad for an android phone with 48 hours battery life. My brain just exploded. And I want one.

@Unionhawk What phone?

Also, Starbound is really nice

What the hell, computer?

Why are you taking 9 hours to copy 3GB?

Over USB 3.0!

Whatever

Internet says Droid Maxx

Going to bed

G'night, Bridge

BUY STARBOUND

Holy crap this generation of droid sounds amazing.

@SaintWacko On the other hand it's 4 weeks worth of professional payment plus 10 actions

6:49 AM

@PrivatePansy Hm, that's true

Can't think of a better use for the professional payment, though

Wait, what's your name in Fallen London?

Yeah. Reducing one threat by half feels pretty weak, especially when sxand

Scandal and wounds reduce automatically anyway

The same as my chat handle I think

I think I'm due for a 2 year upgrade anyway... maybe? If not now, very soon.

@PrivatePansy Plus there are plenty of better ways to take care of menaces

And 72 to 75 is a pretty nice chunk of change points

Q: saving bug i cant save worlds

As soon as I got minecraft pe I made I cool world with good items and a nice house, I had to leave for school but when I got home I got on my tablet and played minecraft because it was Friday so I got on minecraft and my world was not there so now ever time I make a world and get off minecraft it...

7:13 AM

I hate life

Being awake at this time can fuck right off

I feel sorry for you.

And by that I mean I'm literally laughing out loud at your plight. Same difference, really.

die

>:D

no hearts

better?

7:18 AM

no stupid emoticons

I was just using the site and wondered how far away I was before getting another privilege, but when I tried to press the drop down by my name, I noticed that the top bar has changed. I've been looking for a while how to get to the privileges page, but couldn't find it, does anyone know how to get to it now?

gaming.stackexchange.com/help/privileges

It's 2 in the morning. Stupid emoticons are all I have left in my sanity.

help > help center > privileges

And if that sentence made sense to you, you need more coffee. Because that was a weird one.

7:20 AM

I do need more coffee

I have to go now

Ah, I see, must have overlooked that, thanks.

Q: Custom names and lores in Minecraft 1.7.2?

I have heard it was possible to change the names and lores of Minecraft items WITHOUT the use of third-party programs like MCEdit. Given the things that my friends have told me, and from the information gathered online, my guess is that, since Minecraft has started using JavaScript, /give @p 35 1...

8:08 AM

Morning!

Morning.

wow, this was my first message in SO chat

@IvanSolntsev Welcome!

(this is not SO though, this is SE, gaming.stackexchange more specifically) /pedantic

@IvanSolntsev It's not technically SO chat...

@3ventic TOO SLOW

Damn you @Arperum ninja'd me

8:14 AM

@3ventic I even ninja'd your ninja message.

I was so excited, so confused SO and SE, i meaned SE

Thank you bouth

@IvanSolntsev Either way, welcome to the insanity that is The Bridge.

@Arperum 2gud

@IvanSolntsev No problem, don't worry about eventual wars raging over this room, just try to stay out of them.

Whenever someone mentions insanity, I get a flashback from Far Cry 3

8:16 AM

@3ventic I will try to not repeat myself

@3ventic I don't, for starters because I never playerd that game.

@Arperum You should.

@3ventic Maybe when I get it for free. Right now I have too many games on my to play list already. And I added three or four or something last week.

@Arperum I have a list of about 50-100 games I still need to play

so no worries

@TrentHawkins Does Bela gnaw on your legs too? Or only @fbueckert's legs?

8:19 AM

@3ventic and it will grow :)

@3ventic Mine is longer then 3-4, there are just 3-4 new ones on it.

@IvanSolntsev Well, I highly doubt I get them all played until Xmas sales...

Starbound has 2 wikia sites ಠ_ಠ

@3ventic Great, the two wiki thing again, Terraria had/has that too.

@Arperum At least Terraria has official (gamepedia) and wikia

This one just has 2 unofficial wikias ._.

Darksouls has two unofficial wikis too...

It's annoying

@3ventic And I can certainly understand why people would want to avoid gamepedia.

8:23 AM

Tag wiki for Starbound done

@FEichinger Why is that?

@3ventic FTB modpack has at least 4 different wiki's.

@3ventic Because Curse.

@FEichinger What's wrong with Curse?

Why should you care that you're using a free Curse account to contribute to a wiki rather than a free wikia account?

@Arperum well, she attempts to maul my legs/feet. As far as gnawing goes it's mostly my arms after I try to explain that my desk is 'no'.

Because Curse meddle in a lot of other things (such as the game community pages) where they keep too close a grasp on the game communities, particularly the modding communities and make money off of other people's work. Mind you, I dislike wikia as well, but they're the lesser evil here.

8:28 AM

Own wiki best wiki

Obviously.

@TrentHawkins She'll learn that your desk is off-limits (if @fbueckert does allow her on his desk it will be harder, and work better when he isn't home)

@3ventic WHy is there no starbound wiki on 3ventic.eu then?

@Arperum ...

I meant that if the developer/publisher runs a wiki, it's usually best

@Arperum <relevant XKCD: Unified Standards!>

But that almost never happens

8:32 AM

@3ventic It does. And then they make a deal with Curse to transfer it there.

I only see developers of programming languages and databases do it and they call it "docs"

@Arperum Granted, with cats understanding that the desk is off-limits is one thing, but that understanding usually translates to "when their back is turned, anything goes".

@3ventic IIRC GW2 and Path of Exile have one, not sure about PoE

@Arperum PoE wiki is Curse(d)

Candybox has its own wiki

There's only one thing I don't like with the new top-bar

@TrentHawkins Not entirely, my cat has jumped on the kitchen sink exactly once since february, and before that she had a habit of doing that when I still lived with my parents.

8:34 AM

It looks like its position is fixed but it's not

@3ventic Speaking about the top-bar. Where is my list of hot questions?

@Arperum front page > sidebar

@Arperum Might be that my family hasnt really been all that strict with cats; I think the best we've ever achieved is the cat jumping down from wherever it wasn't supposed to be when it detects someone approaching, and looking guilty after.

or front page > hot

if you only want arqade questions

@3ventic Great ... Hidden far below my insanely long list of tags.

@3ventic Well, it causes quite some shenanigans when you manually fix it. :P

8:38 AM

@TrentHawkins Yea, the other cat at my parents doesn't even do that, she just looks guilty while continuing.

One cat they once had went even as far as stealing the meat from your plate when you looked away...

@Arperum We've never had that. Plenty of mooching though. Although our second cat got away with a ton of bad habits, primarily because she was frequently getting sick the first few years and even needed expensive surgery.

Kevin van der Velden

Morning bridge

Morning

@TrentHawkins My cat had to be sewed closed three times total, one time because sterilisation, then once more because she licked the threads out, and then again because she licked the threads out even though she had one of those plastics caps on. After that she got a cap aimed for dogs and she couldn't even eat anymore with that thing on.

8:54 AM

Ooh! I hear snowplows! might be able to drive tomorrow after all. (although the back-lane is still rather iffy - might get stuck.)

@TrentHawkins We just got our second night of frost here :p

@Arperum Main problem is my car is really light, If I hit a patch of deep snow without sufficient momentum, I'm stuck.

Mmmh

Set off earlier... Arrived later

Please explain

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina magnets.

@kalina traveling near speed of light?

relativity effects

Kevin van der Velden

9:03 AM

Also just the regular traffic is worse earlier. But that's boring!

@TrentHawkins That way.

@kalina Set off at the same time as usual, arrived half an hour late. Traffic doesn't like cold.

Bleh

I don't understand why my answer on this attracted so many downvotes

Q: New top bar quick reference guide / Where has the link to <X> gone?

Over the last 24 hours - since the new top bar has been rolled out - a number of different people, established and new users alike have asked questions on where a specific link has disappeared to with the new top bar design. Where has the link to <X> gone?

6

A: New top bar doesn't show hot threads across StackExchange sites

Hot questions are now in the sidebar on the front page of each site. Full list of all 100 hot questions can be found on Stack Exchange portal.

Forgot that one

My userscripts aren't running :(

Q: EVE: Which exploration frigate is best?

I am wondering what is the different between the 4 factions frigate? which one is the best and most people use? Anyone out there got any idea please?

Q: In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix it seems Dumbledore makes a portkey that only Harry can use. Am I interpreting this correctly?

Spoiler alert!! In Chapter 36 of Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore makes a portkey to send Harry back to Hogwarts just after the duel with Lord V. "I Shall explain everything," repeated Dumbledore, "when Harry is back at school." He walked away from the pool to the place where the go...

harry-potter jk-rowling portkey

A portkey tag... serisously?

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum it's scifi, what did you expect?

@KevinvanderVelden The jk-rowling tag seems stupid too

It's used in combination with harry-potter in all but one single case.

Hooray new top bar is live

0

Q: New top bar can't math

How is this +14? No lower entries were highlighted.

@boo DUPE.

9:48 AM

@FEichinger :(

@boo I don't think anyone actually bothers to close them, though.

@FEichinger Ask with a stupid enough title and you'll still get upvotes

True.

Stupid titles is the best way to SE

The total has been inflation corrected. — Bart 23 secs ago

A: Is there a way to turn off this disturbing green light from the status bar?

Yes I made a userscript that hides the green notifications entirely, or alternatively just hides the numbers (the rep icon still turns green but it's much less intrusive).

What annoys me about the top bar is that just about every link is hidden inside a menu now.

@FEichinger More clicks is bad. Chat requires an extra click now, basically anything requires an extra click now.

@Arperum This is why we have userscripts people

@boo any idea why I can't get userscripts working?

@boo /lazy

10:36 AM

There are probably children out there holding down spacebar to stay warm in the winter! YOUR UPDATE MURDERS CHILDREN.

@3ventic Because you can't code?

@boo the code works if I put it in console?

tampermonkey says no scripts running but it's enabled

@3ventic All you need is a user script header, name.user.js naming

// ==UserScript==
// @name much script
// @description very describe
// @version 1.0.0
// @include meta.stackoverflow.com*
// @include http://*.stackexchange.com/*
// @include serverfault.com*
// @include stackoverflow.com*
// @include askubuntu.com*
// @run-at document-end
// ==/UserScript==

Then your js

chat requires the same action as before to get to

you click on your address bar

you type chat.st

press the down arrow once to select room 35

hit enter

@kalina This step is optional, for me room 35 is top

@boo and what do I do with it?

10:39 AM

But in essence you are right

@3ventic Put that chunk of comment at the top of the wow.user.js file, and then write your js beneath it.

Make sure it's set to run on the appropriate domains

Yeah I got that far

I have my userscript but it's not running

@3ventic Then install it

Then test it

Install how

@3ventic You realise you can ask all these questions of Google?

I am powered entirely by starbucks mocha chocolate flavour frappuccinos

10:40 AM

What browser are you using?

£1 per bottle in tesco

buy 5 at a time

@kalina euch

@kalina From time to time I do actually use the link.

@FEichinger I never do

@FEichinger well now you just need to click the nice drop down menu and get over it

10:41 AM

@boo Yeah

Google gave me

Q: Manually adding a Userscript to Google Chrome

Instead of "installing" User-Scripts I found many tutorials on the web to add it manually. All of them told me to do the same steps: Make the directory C:\Users\Blabla\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\User Scripts Place a .js file there, which contains the User-Script Start Chrome ...

google-chrome userscripts

it's not like the movement of the activity link

which is now TWO clicks away

@3ventic Well done, you've learned how to use Stack Exchange!

instead of a hover

@boo Well, I can't get it working

@3ventic ask a question

10:42 AM

@kalina See, More clicks is BAD.

@kalina Which is why I dislike that they moved so many things, so many clicks away.

@kalina would be duplicate

@FEichinger which is why I wrote a quick reference guide

probably anyway

@3ventic Probably because you made a mistake. Check your console. If you can't get a script with just console.log('wow'); working then something is wrong in your header.

10:42 AM

@3ventic then pebkac

@kalina Which is great, but doesn't stop me from complaining about the change!

@boo Console looks empty apart from jquery deprecated warning

@FEichinger STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT THE CHANGE

2

did that help?

the only thing wrong with the new top bar is that it is too thick and needs to be thinner

@kalina No.

@3ventic Then you did it wrong.

10:43 AM

@Arperum yes

@kalina Too many clicks.

@Arperum not a problem

@kalina YES IT IS.

the only problem with the number of clicks is your overwhelming laziness

@boo OH THE INCLUDE HEADER NEEDS A TRAILING SLASH THAT'S SO DUMB WTF

10:45 AM

at least they didn't make clicking the stack exchange logo bring up a metro style overlay full of tiles

@3ventic ...

@kalina THAT is something good yes.

@kalina Latest UX decision: Remove SE dropdown, ~~task~~ top-bar now only contains links to SE sites.

Homepage of each se site is now just links to other parts of the site so that everything is available in one click

Now people complain it's not obvious what the site is about

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina next UX decision: Every user gets a set of bookmarks and is told to quit whining :)

Q: Civ 5: Is it possible to change difficulty mid-game?

Ive been playing games on prince difficulty level, I don't like higher difficulty levels as the AI tend to cheat and has an unfair advantage early in the game. However later in the game, once I have built up a big enough empire, I tend to destroy the other civilizations with little difficulty. A...

It is craaaaazy windy here.

Kevin van der Velden

@FAE jup, getting another big storm today

So at around 4pm I'll start watching the red squirrely lines of doom on the NS availability line again.

@FAE My brother lives in Lübeck, northern Germany. He'll have a fun day today. ;)

I'm glad I don't have to bike anywhere today. I was walking earlier and the gusts felt like they were pulling the breath from your lungs. I hate that.

0

A: Is anyone else personally terrified of the new bar at the top?

I like the new bar's functionality and don't mind about the additional clicks to get to various things, but I feel it needs a bit of tweaking in the following areas: Overall height of the bar Size of most of the text on the bar I think the new top bar should be a little bit thinner, maybe thi...

@FAE yeah it was terrible driving down one of the dual carriageways on the way to work

car felt like it wanted to drive into the barrier

Kevin van der Velden

11:10 AM

@kalina that is the worst feeling :( Stupid car, stop fighting me and drive the way I want you to!

@kalina Ugh, I hate that. I drove a large van sometimes in high school and it was like driving a billboard on windy days.

:1248635 YES

@kalina er, yes

Kevin van der Velden

@Meraj99 I have no idea how you keep doing that =/

@KevinvanderVelden wrong reply >.>

Kevin van der Velden

@Meraj99 why are they numbers, I don't get it :(

11:14 AM

@KevinvanderVelden One number too few.

Try replying to the same post and see for yourself.

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum aah I see, he removed the last 3 it seems

@Meraj99 You know you can edit a message instead of doubling it up? (or at least the first two minutes)

In other news though, I got an actual parking space this morning

So that's something

@Arperum er... ok.... :D

ELLIPSIS IS ONLY THREE DOTS

2

Also

Kevin van der Velden

11:16 AM

@Meraj99 press the up arrow in the text box

All caps on mobile is so hard

@KevinvanderVelden :D

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina well then problem solved, it's not an ellipsis so why are you worrying?

Four dots means nothing

@kalina Double tap the shift key on your keyboard?

Kevin van der Velden

11:17 AM

@kalina it's an ellipsis followed by a full stop

Might as well post white space

Kevin van der Velden

@PrivatePansy doesn't seem to work in later versions of android for some reason (at least my phone doesn't but my old tablet does)

@kev NO

@kalina I hate when people use two dots for an ellipsis. I never know if they just typoed trying to make just one or hit too few for a proper one. I know someone who always uses just two for it and it drives me mad.

lets just call it 1/3 more of a pause alright?

11:18 AM

@PRI OH YEAH THAT WORKS, TA

@fae it's like my #1 pet hate

@kalina So handy, 3 letters is my entire name.

Indeed

@boo is even better because my phone recognises it as a word

Kevin van der Velden

@FAE only legitimate use of 3 letter pinging

And now to venture out in the wind again, huzzah.

@kalina yup, i feel like ragequitting when my phone autocorrects a word when i dont want it to

11:21 AM

Yay wind

Kevin van der Velden

@Meraj99 press the backspace button once, should undo the auto correct.

In between the car and the office my hair went from awesome to bedhead

@KevinvanderVelden not exactly very efficient when your not typing in english

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina wear a hat and have short hair, problem solved :)

All you poor people in the North with all that wind.

Kevin van der Velden

11:22 AM

@Meraj99 set your phone to english. English ALL THE THINGS

@KevinvanderVelden er, wha??

Teach everyone you need to talk to English. Problem solved.

Kevin van der Velden

@Meraj99 don't type in languages that aren't english. Much better that way :)

I'm happily sitting on my mountainside ... freezing, sure, but at least no wind.

@KevinvanderVelden well, most of the time i dont type in english is when im in my car with some songs on the radio, and i wanna remember the songs to download later

so... i put the lyrics on reminders

11:25 AM

I'm almost at the point where I can fall asleep before midnight

Soon I will be unstoppable

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina until you get bored. So for about 5 seconds long?

And then you will manage to undo all of that in just one weekend of Payday 2.

Zzz payday 2

More likely to be elite

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina not even starbound?

Either way, you're inevitably going to waste a whole weekend's sleep on something and have to start the whole process over again.

11:28 AM

user image

11:39 AM

@fei true enough

11:53 AM

Zzzzzzzzzz

On my way to work, whee.

...

Part timer

I think I'm going to dye my hair red for Christmas

Or green

Depends if I go with a red hat or a green hat

Kevin van der Velden

12:11 PM

@kalina why not have one half red and the other green?

No

I think I will go with a green hat with red hair

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina that's not a reason you know =p

Since red will still be acceptable in the new year

Bugs everywhere today

Your face is everywhere today

Kevin van der Velden

12:13 PM

@kalina why not the official color of the year?

It would be impossible to dye my hair that exact colour

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina so?

I'd end up with dark purple hair

Not very Christmas-y

@kalina It is quite pony-y though

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina yeah, but it is purple, and purple is pretty awesome

12:16 PM

Purple is my favourite colour but you're missing the point

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina I'm not missing your point, I'm ignoring it completely and trying to get you to dye your hair purple.

@kalina Christmas doesn't have a colour or set of colours anyway

Well... No.

tries something

@kalina e.g.

If I get 200 rep by the end of the day and don't get serial reversed tomorrow I will dye my hair purple

18

No?

Kevin van der Velden

12:19 PM

@kalina I'm in favor of this =p

Worth a try

🔥

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina cube

it's actually a small fire, according to Android

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina well, android is lying to you

android would never lie to me

My phone battery level is starting to plummet

Kevin van der Velden

12:26 PM

My android is telling me it is an empty message, not even a cube.

Interesting

Kevin van der Velden

Also, mobile chat is horrible.

Do you have 4.3+ with the Google keyboard installed?

With the emojis

Kevin van der Velden

4.0.4 with a custom keyboard.

12:58 PM
