but it's in javascript/jquery stackoverflow.com/questions/10344079/…
 
Ah, Sokoban. I never cared to learn how to solve you.
 
@Michel Ask the Javascript room not jQuery
 
Why would I make a difference now that I'm hungry to boot.
 
The jQuery room is a joke...I mean, more of a joke than most SO chat rooms
 
btw, protip
 
1:02 PM
@BenBrocka I hit the javascript room first, but the people there ... the description of the room make me hold back and don't ask
 
This door is locked.

It is a bad idea to kick that door down. It might just be a shopkeeper's. I think there'd be a message if it was (here there isn't) but better safe then sorry :P
 
@Michel Nonsense. But your code isn't going to make them happy, eh...
 
@YiJiang Yeap >.< it's just some pass time i'm being playing with. and very simple. AND it's not a real javascript problem, but a logic one. I'm just missing something...
 
You really shouldn't need to mess around with making your own selector expression to do this
Also, use siblings instead of repeating next and prev
 
1:05 PM
You feel much better.  The soldier ant bites!  The soldier ant stings!

I do feel much better, Nethack?
@GraceNote Think it'd be a waste to genocide soldier ants here and now?
 
Go team ant!
 
I dunno how safe it'd be for me to pray right now
 
=X @YiJiang I was practicing new things =)

Thanks for the siblins tip =D (I almost never use next and prev at same time)
 
Praying wouldn't save you much
 
I guess it'd get me to full health. Although yeah, I'm also low on mana.
 
1:08 PM
Use what tools you have at your disposal - if you die now, you wouldn't be able to genocide anything in the later levels to begin with
 
@GraceNote How are you my dearest piece of inanimate object =)
 
Pretty animate, and that "dearest" is still creepy.
 
Well, dying and starting a new character is always an option, if you're not too attached to this character
 
The spell hits the wolf!  The wolf bites!--More--
oh well
 
I usually die 20 mins into Nethack, so... yeah
 
1:09 PM
@YiJiang I had gotten better than average items.
 
@GraceNote Ok, not calling you lovely nor dearest
 
@YiJiang I wouldn't mind breaking this barrier
fucking ants.
 
@YiJiang It is, but you should strive to win with each run. He isn't down on luck, since he has the genocide to save himself of this and future Team Ant encounters
 
@GraceNote *had
 
Oh, goody, you did use it
 
1:10 PM
Yeah
and then the 'd' was a wolf and took my last 5 hitpoints.
Hm, I have a bunch of (created)s in my creatures vanquished log
I didn't realize I did that though
 
...ouchu
 
@rlemon do you want to see how user friendly is my ban hammer?
 
probably very. the SE guys did a great job when designing the UI.
XP
 
It's got countdowns and all that jazz
 
1:21 PM
needs more glossy buttons and maybe some spinners!
and BIG RSS BUTTONS!
yea... that'll sell.
 
I'm sure the "shit people say and get banned for" RSS feed would sell like hot cakes.

OBS: How can I link a badge?
 
@fredley merci =)
@fredley Ahh that was not the type of link I was looking for... >.<

was more something like this [tag:diablo]
 
@Michel There's no shiny badge hotlinking system in chat.
 
1:26 PM
Thanks @LessPopMoreFizz =)
 
@Michel Do you have somebody that believes in the you that believes in them?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Would be cool to have one, esp one that was open-ended: [badge-gold:LAZERS]
 
@Michel Also, with that jquery question or whatever, your comment on the non-answer doesn't really read clearly. "But still din't work if the direct top is missing. Check the last cell from row 2 and row 4 in the example, they are missing. When I click in the last cell from row 1 or row 3 the below do not catch " What are you trying to say?
 
@TylerShads See starred list from 5h ago...
 
Shiny open badge hotlinking system in chat sounds cool. Feature request?
 
1:35 PM
@fredley doesnt say a gorram thing about it
 
5 hours ago, by Mark Trapp
Search for zerg rush in the Googles
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Wat
 
@skovacs1 I removed that comment, because that answer, answered my question, I didn't ask to work if there were not a div above from the div I clicked.

This is why I removed that comment. And accepted the answer as correct
 
1:40 PM
@Michel Sorry. Didn't refresh.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Excellent photography
 
@skovacs1 =) np thanks a lot for the attention =D
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz this is actually not the first time I've seen a story like this
apparently it's just standard procedure to tranq the shit out of bears in public places and let them fall
 
@IanPugsley Yeah, the story itself isn't novel. The photo is amazing though.
 
It's raining bears.
 
1:42 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz yeah, no kidding
 
@skovacs1 Hallelujah!
 
also now that I think about it, I'm not really sure what your alternatives would be to tranqing a bear and letting it fall
shake a broom at it from inside a shark cage?
 
@IanPugsley Wrestle
 
@skovacs1 The guy that answered that, was VERY kind with me =)
 
The most important Kickstartr Project ever?
 
1:46 PM
@Michel Yes. They were. And prompt too
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz HAVE ALL MY MONEY
(except not)
 
@LessPopMoreFizz Is that your project?
 
@badp I am glad you understand the importance of knowing how many dogs there are.
@skovacs1 I wish. But I will wholeheartedly support it!
 
idea for a website: Birdcount. every time someone sees a bird, they click a button, and it counts how many birds there are. also, Dogcount
@LessPop_MoreFizz birds too!
(I had to know)
 
What is this? I don't even.
 
1:49 PM
@skovacs1 IT IS THE FUTURE. WELCOME TO THE FUTURE.
Here in the future, we know how many dogs there are.
It's magical.
 
Why would you want to count birds? It not important like dogs or grains of sand on the beach.
Plus birdcount would be so subject to false data, unlike dogcount. Planes and balloons and U.F.O. would often be miscounted as birds. That's just unacceptable.
 
@skovacs1 would not wolves, baby bears, and Chupacabras be counted as false data for dogcount?
 
@IanPugsley Shhh. You're spoiling the irony.
 
That was terrifying. My laptop wouldn't work (i.e. black screen, wouldn't even go to sleep when I closed it). After about an hour I tried popping the battery and now it's working again.
Also, is this okay?

ElitelfExploit: I bought all the satellite shares in Grand Exchange, then bought up all of the satellites.

Tried a new game.
My pet died at turn number 109
 
1:59 PM
@GnomeSlice looks OK to me
 
@badp Is that significant?
 
@badp Welp, how?
 
@murgatroid99 I'm never sure on our policy with exploits.
 
@YiJiang I have no idea. I stepped on a teleport trap and this happened two turns later
 
@GnomeSlice actually, I'm not sure
 
2:00 PM
@GnomeSlice It's ridiculously early in the game
Is this on the first dungeon level?
 
yes
You see here a large box.  Your pack shakes violently!
wat
ah.
Magic trap
 
Fucking magnets...
 
ok then
 
@YiJiang heehee
 
A trap door opens up under you!--More--
...this isn't going too well

gg
 
2:05 PM
@badp Damn right.
 
@fredley YOU LIE
 
@GnomeSlice isn't that more or less what the question was asking for? Plus exploits, while perhaps undesigned behaviour are still part of the game and in no way violating site policies. In fact, they would be covered under Gameplay strategies and tactics, Puzzle solving or obstacle clearing, and Game mechanics and terminology
 
@skovacs1 Alright, just thought I'd check in on the bridge. Thanks! =]
 
@TylerShads The truth hurts. Just accept it and move on.
 
@fredley Er... did someone famous post this somewhere? Someone on my facebook just posted this same thing...
 
2:15 PM
@GnomeSlice The whole internet has been a-buzz with this all day...
 
What's actually happening to my Google?
 
@GnomeSlice I've never played Starcraft, but I've talked to some people who have
 
o.0
 
Apparently in Starcraft, a 'zerg rush' is when you swarm your opponent with overwhelming numbers of very low-powered units
 
2:17 PM
I've ready about such things in books
(I have many leather bound ones)
 
I have no idea what the numbers to the right mean.
'APM' and 'Count'
 
@tiddy That's an excellent message to take out of context
@GnomeSlice Count seems to be how many you've hit
 
Actions Per Minute
 
@GnomeSlice - APM = Actions per Minute. In this context I think actions is mouse-clicks
 
Count is the number of "zerglings" defeated
 
2:19 PM
i am not taht good, only 55
 
They stopped coming after like, 12 for me...
 
I got bored by Count 300 and my APM was a low 160 or so. Plus my browser's been locking up on me.
 
you need to scroll down
my apm was at 256
 
hence why mine was low
As I said. Browser locking up. Doesn't help APM.
 
You guys are so dumb.
 
2:22 PM
@GnomeSlice Starcraft is dumb
Don't hate the players, hate the game.
 
You can change the count?
My APM is crazy low
 
Drastically Undervalued Merchandise Booth is DUMB
 
nvm you click them
 
Gamersgate on facebook:
> Try googling "zerg rush", and once you're done you might see an easter egg advertisement ;)
Oh boy, an Easter Egg.
 
Why do the o's form a big GG at the end?
 
2:26 PM
@fredley ...That would be the Easter Egg advertisement.
Although it probably just means 'Good Game', and GamersGate 'appropriated' that as an 'advertisement'.
 
@fredley because it is good etiquette to say GG at the end of a SC match
 
I hate people who say 'gg'.
If you can't be bothered to type out 'Good game', don't bother at all.
 
you hate people who say 'glhf' also?
 
@GnomeSlice in many games, the time in between the end of the match and the next match is very, very low
 
@GnomeSlice You're really on a tear with the "I hate this," "I hate that," "You're dumb," etc. Got a chip on your shoulder or something? Anything I can do to help?
 
2:30 PM
@skovacs1 Hm? What? I just said you guys were dumb as a joke, because there was an intense discussion going on about strategy in Google Zerg Rush, hah.
@Blem Yes.
@IanPugsley Well, that's dumb.
 
@GnomeSlice See my earlier comment
 
do I want to play the max paynes 3? I did not play the max paynes 2, so I'm guessing no
 
@fredley SO.
 
@GnomeSlice I don't even hate this.
 
@StrixVaria I can't stand it.
I don't generally rage at them in-game, but I still hate it.
 
2:37 PM
I hate when people say gg pre-emptively because they're douchey cockbags, but if you're doing it out of sportsmanship I have nothing against it.
"Man I hate when people say nice things to me."
 
maybe they just missed the 2 in g2g?
 
I just... if you really meant it, you'd take the time to write 'Good game'.
 
@GnomeSlice No.
This is the internet.
 
I do.
 
They're not you.
 
2:38 PM
@StrixVaria THE INTERNET IS DUMB.
3
 
@GnomeSlice I agree with you there. Hence why LAN cafes are awesome.
 
Starred lists are dumb
3
 
That way, if someone's being a douche, you can stand up and smack them upside the head.
 
@BenBrocka BURN
 
@RuinQozn Why must you burn everything?
You might as well be BurnQozn.
 
2:44 PM
@fbueckert Just the way I roll.
 
@RuinQozn You really need to make this smaller, considering how often you post it now.
It's like... a third of my chat, heh.
 
So I picked up a corpse so that my cat could've eaten it and gained tameness in the process
then instead of dropping the corpse I drop something else
I pick that up
during that turn a rat comes and kills me.
T_T
 
@GnomeSlice I normally just post it as a text-link.
 
@badp You're a glutton for punishment.
 
@Wipqozn Do you just always have that URL on your clipboard?
 
2:46 PM
@RuinQozn ?
@StrixVaria He probably has the image on his hard drive.
 
@fbueckert why would I be?
 
You might like ADOM. Or Dungeons of Dredmor.
@badp You keep dying. Over and over and over.
 
@StrixVaria I keep it as one of my tab bookmarks.
 
@fbueckert It's kind of the point.
 
3 hours and 14 minutes to go until the Guild Wars 2 beta
 
2:47 PM
@RuinQozn Why don't you just download it?
 
It is 17 days, 16 hours, 12 minutes, 41 seconds until D3.
 
@GnomeSlice This is quicker.
 
The farthest I've gotten in Nethack is Quest:1. The fathest I've gotten in ADOM is after the very first quest (I dunno what to do then). The farthest I've gotten in ADOM is level 3.
 
PLus when I want to text link it I need a URL.
 
@badp Don't you at least want a chance at winning? ADOM, in particular, is very much like Nethack.
 
2:47 PM
@RuinQozn @StrixVaria you guys are so dumb.
@RuinQozn That's true, but you never do.
 
Comparatively I've done better at Crawl - my record is the swamp rune. (I think.)
 
@GnomeSlice THAT'S OFFENSIVE! I'M GONNA FLAG YOU!!!111ONEONE11!!!ONEONE1111!
 
Oh, okay.
 
@badp Never played Crawl.
 
@fbueckert I don't think you have "a chance of winning" in ADOM
 
2:48 PM
@GnomeSlice I normally text-link it. I think I've only posted the image by itself ~10 times.
 
Speaking of Dungeon Crawlers, and 'winning' I managed to get a game of Hack, Slash, Loot that didn't have a ladder down on the first floor. I wandered around after having killed everything for like 10 minutes looking for it.
 
I don't even think it's quite clear so far what the conditions are to access the real best ending or whatnot
 
Also, speaking of @badp and dungeon crawlers, have you played Inferno+ yet?
 
nope
 
2:50 PM
=[
You should.
It's right up your alley.
 
The moment you suggested it to me, it became an average game that I won't find myself playing for a while
:P
 
@badp That's what I was afraid of.
 
alright alright I'll reboot to a Windows os if you so insist
 
@badp trololololol
 
@badp Sure you do. I recall rolling MANY wizards, true. The ones that survived any length of time, though, got to the point of walking into Ogre ARMIES, and walking out unscathed. Granted, I usually lost interest right after, but just saying...
 
2:54 PM
This was awesome @GnomeSlice.
 
@GnomeSlice Link? I'm always up for trying new games.
 
@RuinQozn I didn't post that one.
@fbueckert It's not free, unfortunately.
You can also get the original Inferno on Xbox Live Indie Games for 80 points.
 
@GnomeSlice Twin-stick. Full stop. Not happening.
 
@fbueckert Yeah, it's not a traditional dungeon crawler.
It's like dungeon crawler meets twin-stick shooty thing.
@fbueckert If you want a more traditional Dungeon crawler, I'd recommend Cardinal Quest, which you can also play for free in a browser.
 
@GnomeSlice ...IT HAS COME TO THIS
Akinetic mutism is dumb

Hmm, the last grant round was in February, right?

@ArdaXi Yes.

Q: Is there a limit to the number of times Stasis can be used on an enemy?

BrysonicI accidentally ended up in a Gold multiplayer game against Cerberus this morning, and I don't think I've ever seen so many Phantoms in one place. I noticed that sometimes Stasis didn't seem to work on Phantoms that I'd already used it on once or twice. Is there a limit to the number of times a ...

 
@RuinQozn Hmm, are we getting another any time soon?
 
@ArdaXi DIABLO IS COMING OUT
 
3:17 PM
@ArdaXi Not sure. I imagine we'll be getting one for May, but I've read nothing confirming that.
 
@ArdaXi I'm hoping we get one for Diablo. Want that game.
 
@ArdaXi that's a @Lauren question
 
WEll, I'm going to go watch Deep Space 9 to help kill the remaining hours before the GW2 beta starts
 
@fbueckert I was thinking GW2, but yes, Diablo III as well.
 
There's an upcoming game grant, yes
It's not going to be just Diablo 3
 
3:18 PM
@GraceNote IS THERE A DIABLO CONTEST
 
and from the shadows comes @GraceNote to the rescue!
 
@GraceNote Oh?
 
@StrixVaria I need you to bring me select organs from Wipqozn and agent86 before I could confirm this.
 
I haven't been keeping up on the grants, I heard some conversation about the future ones not being 'choose your game' any more?
 
@GraceNote Name your price.
 
3:19 PM
@StrixVaria, I'm starting to suspect you're excited for Diablo 3. Is this assumption correct?
 
@GnomeSlice It's "choose your game from a specific subset"
 
@Wipqozn Not really.
 
@GraceNote phew, good thing I'm RuinQozn in chat now.
 
@StrixVaria I need six lungs from those two.
 
I mean, I might play it a little.
I think turtles have like 4 lungs or something otherwise how would they stay underwater so long..
 
3:20 PM
@GraceNote Injects retrovirus to provide each with an extra lung
 
I also can't have their blood on my hands, so make sure you clear out all those vessels.
I may also alter the terms of the deal at any time. Maybe.
Including yesterday
 
wh
 
I'm thinking, a bunch of my friends are buying GW2, but it's pretty expensive and I'm not an MMO guy.
 
@ArdaXi Diablo 3.
 
So it might be a better idea to just wait out Diablo and potentially getting it from here.
 
3:27 PM
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES.
 
Why do you want me to buy Diablo III?
 
@ArdaXi All the more people to play with, my dear.
 
FAE
@ArdaXi Well, what is there about MMOs you dislike? GW2 lacks a subscription fee and also changes up a lot of typical MMO elements.
 
@FAE I guess it's the whole long-term dependence on other people thing.
 
@FAE So does this!
 
3:30 PM
@FAE I guess I just don't like needing other people to play, as it were.
 
I like the idea of MMOs, but my biggest problem with them personally is that most of them just require too much time and effort to do well in, and that you can't really stop playing them for very long at a time without consequences, usually.
 
FAE
@ArdaXi Gotcha. If it helps at all, you don't have actively team with people ingame in order to participate in public events/quests and stuff. Unlike other MMOs, where you have to party up for XP, you don't have to here. If I hit mob A and you hit mob A, we both get XP.
 
@GnomeSlice Exactly. It requires commitment.
 
FAE
So that lessens the amount of "active" socialization you have to do. There's a lot of focus on passive co-operation.

Q: Feasibility of playing an explorer in Wurm Online

FadewayI played Wurm about a year ago. It was a great game, but as I felt I'd be forced to relog when I finally got bored of it, to maintain my structures against decay, I quit. I have been contemplating playing without building anything, however I remember the game penalizing you heavily for hunger, fo...

 
FAE
3:32 PM
@GnomeSlice That's also why there's no monthly fee and it's also not an endgame-focused game with tiered loot grinding.
 
I can't commit to any one game for a long period of time.
 
This question and answer made me want to try out Wurm Online but I couldn't figure it out...
 
If you start to play with people, and you disappear for a while, those people aren't happy.
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice That one is tough to solo. :/
 
@ArdaXi Yeah, exactly.
 
FAE
3:32 PM
@ArdaXi Depends on who you play with.
 
@FAE I don't even think I've gotten out of the tutorial area yet.
I've only played it like twice so far.
 
@FAE I may buy it at a later stage, I'll check it out with my friends first. They'll be in the beta tonight anyway.
 
FAE
My guild is a multi-game group of people. We've got jobs and spouses and university and sometimes some of us don't play for months. We don't hold that against anyone or have "activity" requirements. We're mostly a bunch of friends.
@ArdaXi Well if you have any questions or anything, feel free to poke me. :)
 
I really like the idea of playing an MMO with lots of political faction-type stuff going on, but I've never played one where that actually worked well.
I've not played many MMOs though, to be honest.
Let's see...
Allods, Flyff, Dofus... erm...
I liked flyff, until I reached the minimum level to get a class job, and realized I'd been building up completely the wrong stats for the job I chose.
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice No respec option?
 
3:39 PM
@FAE Don't think so. I don't remember exactly what it was, but I don't think I could change jobs again either.
At least, not for a few levels, and since my character was useless, that was impossible.
That game is also a complete grindfest.
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice Ah gotcha. I never played Flyff, it's one of those MMOs I never wanted to get into. I've done enough Korean grindy MMOs.
 
Yeah, I think the only reason I stuck with it as long as I did is because shortly after joining, I made friends with a really rich (in-game) player, and she gave me a ton of awesome shit.
 
FAE
haha
 
Damn puns!
 
One of the 'things' with Flyff is the flying mechanic. There are boards and brooms. This girl gave me the most advanced of each, so that was pretty cool.
Also, flyff had some really good music.
 
3:42 PM
@GnomeSlice Ooh, I remember that game.
 
This twenty second track that played when you took off on a flying device was one of my favourites, hah
I should play that again. Then again, I shouldn't.
Allods online was okay, but it was really slow to do anything, and incredibly easy to get lost.
OH lol also Sherwood Dungeons.
That game is hilarious.
It's a browser-based shockwave game.
Same dev who made Tankball.
It's actually pretty good for what it is, I suppose. All of the quests are 'go to ___, kill ___, and sometimes collect ___ from them'.
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice Hurgh, fetch quests.
 
@FAE Heh, 'Bear Asses'.
 
3:58 PM
turns out spawners suck
and Inferno+ is basically all spawners
 
DID I HEAR SOMEONE SAY A WORD THAT HAS TO DO WITH DIABLO
 
you kill many things but 99.9999% of what you kill doesn't matter
 
@StrixVaria I think someone's a little excited for D3.
 
@fbueckert This tab hasn't closed in 40+ days.
 
@badp There are a few spawners, but they just spawn a ton of weak enemies. Upgrade your spread and fire rate a bit and just point directly at them and you'll eventually get down to the spawner.
 
3:59 PM
@GnomeSlice duh.
