@GraceNote just reminded me I should play Elona again.

I don't really remember what I was doing in the game.

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot like that makes any difference in that chaos of a game

Ben Brocka

@TimStone Wow. Also, I don't get people who ditch their old consoles for new non-backwards compatible consoles. I can't imagine never planning to play a game on a platform again (unless it was 100% perfectly emulated and I had roms for all games I owned, possibly. But I'd still want it for my collection, personally)

fredley

Next time there's an election I want to make a script that scrapes the votes to see the distribution over time.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot eh?

RedRiderX

@fredley Ah yes that would be interesting

OrigamiRobot

3:03 PM

@kalina You've been relatively absent recently.

kalina

sorry that I took a break from posting 600 messages 99% of you didn't read per day, I guess

RedRiderX

Kind of like taking voter polls.

fredley

@RedRiderX There have hardly been any votes today, and I doubt there'll be many tomorrow

tl;dr, primaries only need be 2 days long

FEichinger

@kalina "I am the 1%, yay!"

fredley

@FEichinger OCCUPY @FEICHINGER

kalina

3:04 PM

@FEichinger actually you make up like 2%, but you only half listen, so...

RedRiderX

@fredley Eh, if there are more votes to obtain might as well get them.

FEichinger

@kalina I only half listen? What?

@fredley Hush you.

kalina

exactly

RedRiderX

Gosh I haven't had a hand winding watch in ages you need to wind it every 12 hours right?

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley now if that isn't an euphemism I don't know what is

kalina

3:06 PM

@RedRiderX sounds like too much of a commitment

Kevin van der Velden

@RedRiderX I don't think so, depends on the watch

RedRiderX

@kalina That's pretty much just when you wake up and go to sleep

Frank

@kalina Back into a regular sleep schedule?

RedRiderX

well, maybe not for you in particular.

kalina

@Frank ha, I took a break, not turned my life upside down

5pike

3:06 PM

@BenBrocka My brother is one of them. Sold his ps3 + 15 games on ebay for a laughable amount, because he wanted a ps4. Then he realized, that buying a console at launch is idiotic and now he regrets selling it.

RedRiderX

@KevinvanderVelden Ah okay

fredley

@kalina A break from sleep?

Sconibulus

@RedRiderX I thought they ran for a couple-few days on a winding

RedRiderX

I also can't tell how much I should wind it

kalina

@fredley Every time I get out of bed I'm taking a break from sleep, I don't need to take more breaks from sleep

Kevin van der Velden

3:07 PM

@Frank if she just woke up it'd be.. 3PM or so for her? That's not a regular sleep schedule =p

Jason Berkan

@RedRiderX Wind it until something inside snaps. Then you should have wound it slightly less than that.

RedRiderX

@JasonBerkan Right of course!

Why didn't I think of that!

Yuki

Oh geez, someone did What Did The Fox Say? in China's annual national New Year's performance.

Sconibulus

I think mine stopped making clicky sounds when it was fully wound

OrigamiRobot

@RedRiderX You'll know.

RedRiderX

3:08 PM

@OrigamiRobot Hmm okay

Q: What was the elo distribution of Leauge of Legends at the start of season 4?

As of today, tons of league statistic sites exist and there already have been some statistics about the player distribution throughout all tiers and divisions but I'm looking for a statistic which is up to date right now or even better: always accurate. Since Season 4 now has officially started...

league-of-legends

kalina

@Yuki is it the year of the fox?

RedRiderX

I was wondering if you just tell by the resistance building.

Yuki

@kalina Actually, it's the Year of the H-o-o-o-o-o-r-s-e.

Grace Note

There is no year of the fox

Frank

3:09 PM

@Yuki facedesk

OrigamiRobot

@GraceNote That's racist.

RedRiderX

?

FEichinger

@kalina How am I only "half listening"? I'm fully listening!

Ben Brocka

@5pike Augh. I've been playing my PS3 more than anything lately. Can't imagine getting rid of it, and I probably have more PS4 games than most (a few downloaded indie titles, and the token single disk game I got at launch)

kalina

this Stack Exchange application for Android just turns my phone into a vibrator

RedRiderX

3:09 PM

...

kalina

it's constantly going off with one thing or another

fredley

Given that Google changes its homepage logo every few days now, why does it still warrant media coverage everywhere every single time it happens?

RedRiderX

Yes

Obviously

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley easy views, duh

Yuki

TIL @kalina does naughty, naughty stuff with her phone and Stack Exchange.

kalina

3:10 PM

@Yuki I don't, I was merely making an observation

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden But by the time people see it, they've probably seen it anyway by that stage.

Ben Brocka

@kalina kill all notifications

5pike

@BenBrocka Well, there won't be many PS4 games for a while. The good thing is that everyone wants to get rid of their PS3, so they are easy/cheap to get.

kalina

well, I do lots of naughty things with Stack Exchange, but I think most of that got covered a week or so ago already

RedRiderX

@fredley It's been that way for years

Yuki

3:11 PM

@fredley It's an easy thing to report on.

Ben Brocka

BTW Android now lets you disable notifications for an app, even if the app doesn't have options to do that itself! I love it

Yuki

Journalists are lazy except for the ones that are on the Bridge right now or are related to Bridge regulars.

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley easy views for the media, not for the image. People are gonna click it anyway

fredley

I know. It just pisses me off that half the time when you click them to see what they are the first hit is a news article explaining how google has *shock horror* changed their logo for the occasion.

Ben Brocka

@5pike That just makes me sad though, to see old consoles/games get ditched. And I don't like to buy used unless a console is out of production. Other people are gross

kalina

3:12 PM

@fredley you're just jealous that changing the logo on your website doesn't result in a news story

fredley

@kalina I could generate a news story, it depends what I change it to

Ben Brocka

Got a replacement copy of Lunar Knights for DS a couple weeks ago. The entire cart was sticky. How do you even do that to a cartridge?

kalina

@BenBrocka do you really want to know?

FEichinger

@Yuki The first part is nothing new. It's just that SE now participates. :P

Frank

@BenBrocka Every single one of my PS3's has been used beforehand. I wasn't able to afford a launch PS3 when it was first released; I was poor and in college.

Yuki

3:13 PM

@BenBrocka Okay, I just threw up in my mouth a little.

fredley

Actually do you know what's worst? Google+

kalina

because most likely it's just a case of handling the cartridge after eating a doughnut or something

5pike

@BenBrocka I'm very lucky with used games/consoles. Never had a gross moment, just pleasant surprises.

Ben Brocka

Ones bought from used game stores are usually okay aside from those awful stickers, this was from amazon, it works though and seems fine after through scrubbing

It makes me much less inclined to pay $70+ to buy a used copy of Cubivore though since I basically have no idea if a disk will work from any of these people

Frank

I bought a PSX version of Tactics Ogre off of eBay. It came with some gunk on the top of the CD. I think I've used it a total of once; to rip an image of it.

kalina

3:16 PM

Today I learned how much I hate code

JohnB

Hello, would it be constructive to make edits adding links to unofficial wiki pages? A few of the hearthstone questions reference specific cards but no link for a user to see what the cards do.

Ben Brocka

@Frank I mostly bought Lunar Knights (and chibi robo) for collection purposes, already beat both, but one I lost (due to a friend "borrowing" it) and one I only rented

JohnB

There's no official wiki to link to, unfortunately

kalina

@JohnB Follow the agreed format, do what you want.

TZHX

don't think that's what he meant by wiki links.

JohnB

3:19 PM

@TZHX correct

FEichinger

@JohnB If it's relevant to the question, sure.

kalina

well if he wants to stick pictures in a bunch of questions go for it

pictures are awesome, we should replace all of our questions with pictures

JohnB

for instance this question, lists a bunch of cards but no links to see what they do

I would disagree with pictures for now, solely because the game is in beta and cards are susceptible to being changed. They could quickly become outdated and incorrect

FEichinger

@JohnB Oh, on answers definitely.

JohnB

ah, sorry. Should have been more clear
