9:00 PM
@badp I'd make a joke, but while gravatar isn't blocked by the stuff here, it just times out instead.
 
@Powerlord It's blue.
@Mana Maaaaaaaaan.
 
@Gnome maaaaaaaaaaaan what's up.
 
Right. Avatar.
 
I think badp should use Servbot as his avatar instead.
 
@badp hiyìk.
 
@Powerlord I can have him bring us the newspaper.
 
@Powerlord That's yellow.
 
@ArdaXi The BODY is blue, ya numbskull.
 
@Powerlord Look at @badp's avatar. Now back to that image. Now back to his avatar, now back to the image.
 
 
9:05 PM
@ArdaXi Look at my posts and tell me where I said his head was blue or for that matter was related to badp's current avatar in any way. ;)
 
@Powerlord Megaman Legends FTW.
 
"Ve have vays of making you return the census!" -- guy in next cube over.
 
@Powerlord @badp's avatar's head is blue. As such, a replacement should also hold its breath.
 
Oh hey, gravatar's not stuck in never-loading land any more.
removes from Adblock list
 
@ArdaXi The avatar is now diamonds!
 
9:08 PM
@GnomeSlice Please do remind me.

Q: Add tag for "Diggles, the Myth of Fenris"

Felix DombekI asked a question about the game Wiggles from a German developer, forgetting that it was released in English as Diggles, the Myth of Fenris. Someone kindly created a tag for it. However, I have edited the question to mention the correct name, and think that diggles should be the tag for it, with...

Haha!
:P
 
"it seems as though I need 5 rep in diggles questions to make a tag synonym" Wow, they dropped that requirement way down
Didn't it used to be like 50 or 100 in a tag to suggest synonyms?
 
@Powerlord Maybe it's just an exception for [diggles]
 
@GnomeSlice Nope, looks like it's network-wide now.
Hmm, interesting...
 
@Powerlord I figured as much. I was joking anyway.
 
9:13 PM
starts suggesting steam synonyms
steam-sdk... oh wait, that one should go on game-dev.
Hmm, I just thought of a question and its associated answer to post.
Even though I detest posting questions just to answer them yourselves...
and I just thought of another semi-related question that I don't know the answer to.
emails them to himself
 
> Congrats, you've gained the privilege – protect questions learn more
\o/?
 
Mods can always protect questions from new user responses, but other users are getting that as a new... 10k privilege, I think.
 
@Powerlord Give the answer to someone else, in need of reps.
 
or is it a 20k privilege.
@GnomeSlice Are you implying I don't need reps? :D
 
@Powerlord 15k
 
9:17 PM
@Powerlord I'm implying that I do. Particularly if you "detest posting questions just to answer them [yourself]"
 
@GnomeSlice Pssh, you have 1k more rep than I do on Gaming.
I can't even vote to close questions on gaming yet. >:/
 
@Powerlord I can?
 
@tzenes Oh, so it's in between... OK.
 
I know there's a new 20k rep one too, but I don't recall what it is.
I just noticed that my rep on SO has really slowed down lately. Must be all this chatting I'm doing in here.
If they add a 25k rep thingy on SO, I won't have it, despite having 20k for a while now. :O
 
9:19 PM
/review'ers: posts with extremely poor quality scores now receive automatic flags. If you're on /review and see something scored below 40, save your flag for something else.
 
@Powerlord speedy deletion
 
@badp When did this change go into effect?
 
and all tag wikis
 
@Powerlord It appears this changed recently, but it's been on ever since I got the diamond. Unsurprisingly.
 
those are my 20k privileges
 
9:21 PM
@badp Don't unnerstand.
But I don't think I can handle another StackOverflow today.
 
@GnomeSlice It's a pretty advanced feature, so it's okay if you don't. You're not a mod :P
 
Thank god for that.
 
Uh oh.
 
@Mana.
 
rm -rf /users/GnomeSlice/*
 
9:24 PM
'sup @Gnome?
 
/oom I'm out of @Mana!
 
@Mana Nothing, I just like typing "@Mana."
 
oh okay
 
"Oh, okay." *
 
I typed it because @GnomeSlice did first.
 
9:25 PM
@Mana I think I might have accidentally deleted the actual message he wanted to send. Sorry.
 
@ArdaXi No, that was it.
 
@GnomeSlice How would you know? I cleared your memory!
 
@ArdaXi There wasn't anything to clear. There was no message.
So I can use my powers of deduction.
If you deleted nothing, it's still nothing.
 
How do you know there wasn't?
 
Past history speaks for itself.
When was the last time I said anything important?
/useful
/informative
/relevant
 
9:28 PM
@GnomeSlice: Well, judging by those criteria... never.
So, out of curiosity, if we were to do some sort of game night thingy, what online multiplayer games do people actually have?
Since most of you don't actually go to Game On! to discuss it. ;)
 
@Powerlord xBox 360, but no Live!
 
@Powerlord I can't join anyway, I'd like to, but I have a LAN-party scheduled then
 
Maybe I should post that question on Gaming.
er.
Gaming Meta
 
@Powerlord We should play Dinowaurs.
 
@GnomeSlice Neeeever heard of it.
 
9:32 PM
D:
 
@Powerlord Are you seriously considering posting a game-rec on our meta?
 
@ArdaXi game-rec? I'm not asking what to buy, I'd be asking what games people have that we could actually play.
 
@Powerlord Nobody ever plays it. :(
 
@Powerlord You're asking what games to play. The very definition of game-rec.
 
9:33 PM
Hey, how do you quote a message in chat again? Just reply but with no reply body?
 
Paste its permalink.
Hover over the message, click the arrow, right-click permalink, choose Copy link address, click the input box and press Ctrl-V
 
in SE Game On!, 1 hour ago, by Ivo Flipse
well we should have multiple games and days
 
3 mins ago, by GnomeSlice
@Powerlord We should play Dinowaurs.
Twarted! :(
 
I still don't understand why it's SU organising the event.
I mean, we're Gaming
SU hates gaming.
 
@ArdaXi Wil's an SU user, therefore the channel was created as an SU channel... or so I assume.
 
9:36 PM
No, I mean, it went out of SU, not us.
 
Yeah, new rooms are created with the site the user's chat profile is associated with.
 
Does Wil want it changed?
 
@ArdaXi Hey, if someone here came up with the idea, they could have just as easily posted about it.
 
@Powerlord Are you blaming me? Huh?
 
@CRoss Not sure, but I noticed that room owners don't have the option to change what site it's under... Wil added me as an owner a while back when I set up the HL2:DM server.
 
9:41 PM
@Powerlord Mods do.
 
Yeah, I'll switch it if everyone wants it switched
 
Evening all.
 
Noticing that someone starred my census comment earlier, I wonder who in my department got stuck with the Gerrymandering... er... redistricting project.
I know they asked me if I wanted to come in on Monday next week to work to do data entry for that project... next Monday being a federal holiday and as such I have it off.
Lets see... they'll pay me to come in... but not holiday pay... hmm...
 
@Powerlord Last holiday I worked (boxing day) I got paid 300%
 
Of course, that brings up another question: Since the building is locked, and my card doesn't have a high enough security clearance to open the after hours door, how would I even get in?
And, in fact, none of the employees they asked if they want to come in that day have a high enough security clearance for that.
I don't understand government logic. They trust me enough to let me stay after all the managers and other employees on this floor are gone, as well as the security guards at the front desk, but I'm not allowed to come into the building at that time...
Oh, and if it wasn't obvious from what I said, I have no intention of coming in on Monday. :)
 
9:58 PM
@badp Grats on the diamond. :)
 
@Shaun Danke.
Gaming needs more questions.
 
It does, but forcing it would be... unwise.
 
Hey, I have two more questions to ask!
Just... not yet.
 
@Powerlord Waiting for Jon Sk- erm, @tzenes to come on?
 
@ArdaXi No, Gaming is blocked where I work.
 
10:03 PM
@Powerlord Right.
 
I could also post some really easy questions, but who wants those? Especially when I'd be lying in the question text.
 
@Powerlord Oh, my two latest questions are pretty basic, except they really stumped me
 
Like "I somehow got different music to play for Shade Man's Stage. How did I do that?" (with tag [:mega-man-7])
Which is, hold B while starting the stage.
 
and I swear I was going to ask about the P meter too.
 
Or was in hold A... I forget.
 
10:08 PM
Actually fuck that, if it doesn't come up on Google, I'll ask about it. I've always had this question in mind while watching TASes.
 
Oh blah, I forgot how to link tags in chat.
 
@Powerlord: We welcome easy questions too, as it's likely that someone out there is googling for it.
 
@badp Did you find all 3 warp whistles? :D
 
@Powerlord I found 0
 
@Powerlord
 
10:10 PM
@badp See? In fact, one is nearly impossible to find unless you've seen the movie The Wizard... of the three, the last is the only one with an in-game hint.
Oh right, in the NES and SNES versions of the game, the letter that tells you where to find the third warp whistle is given to you AFTER you beat that World.
I hear they moved in back one world in the GBA version.
 
@GnomeSlice The raptor safari room has been unfrozen.
 
@badp Abusing your powers already?
 
I'm trying to distribute my abuse widely and thinly
 
This is the music I was referring to earlier.
Which will sound eerily familiar if you've ever played Ghosts & Goblins, Ghouls & Ghosts, or Super Ghouls & Ghosts.
 
10:26 PM
It doesn't sound familiar, it is their music.
Yay for TASes :P
 
Hmm, I wonder if Board & Card Games is going to be killed due to its relative inactivity.
 
I could've sworn at least one Castlevania game used it.
maybe I'm confusing the games however.
 
@badp Since Konami makes Castlevania games (Capcom makes Ghouls and Ghosts), and no Castlevania game I've played has had it, I'm going to say you're confusing games.
I've played quite a few Castlevania games, too... the only ones I know I've missed are the old black and white GameBoy ones.
Oh, and the SNES version of Dracula X... and the PSP version of Dracula X.
and Castlevania Chronicles... not sure how I missed that one, but I did.
Now I'm tempted to look on PSN for that one.
But I digress, it's going home time for me, so I should... you know... go home.
 
10:49 PM
i've always only gotten 2 warp whistles....
is anybody here interested in the playstation phone?
 
Oh, is that what the new thingy that sony's been talking about is? A phone?
... I ... I don't know whether to make N-Gage snark or iPhone snark.
 
Its primary function is to be a phone though....the gamepad that slides out is secondary.
 
Depends on whether you want to insult Sony (N-Gage) or Apple (iPhone)
@espais The primary function of the iPhone is also just to be a phone, the touch screen is secondary.
 
true true
engadget's review seems mostly positive: engadget.com/2011/02/13/xperia-play-final-hardware-hands-on

Q: Benefits of lycanthropy

espaisI recently killed a werejackal (somehow avoiding having lycanthropy transmitted to me), and now have a fresh corpse in my inventory. According to the all-knowing Wiki, lycanthropy is generally undesirable. Are there any benefits that I should be aware of, however? For instance, any reason I sh...

 
Aaaah!
 
Ah!
 
@AskQuestionNewspaperBringerServiceBot You're not @Feeds!
 
We've upgraded from good ole' Feeds for questions and meta questions.
 
Why is there a ServBot in my gaming cha--actually no that makes perfect sense.
 
11:17 PM
Not as much sense as your face is about to make!
 
OH MAN GRACE GOT ME GOOD
 
OH SNAP
 
hangs head in shame
 
V! For victory!
 
coughs
 
11:18 PM
I think I just got trolled by the US Congress: yro.slashdot.org/story/11/02/16/227237/…
 
@GraceNote Is reminded of the speech from V for Vendetta.
 
The margin is too small! :(
 
Bah, what are you, maximized?
 
Even maximized here, it's the skrungy that Brant has on my screen
 
11:20 PM
@Brant I shortened the name somewhat.
 
@Brant Yes. Why would I waste screen estate?
 
@ArdaXi That awesome multi-monitor wallpaper of mine didn't pick itself out, you know.
 
@Brant You posted a .jpg screenshot of your desktop. Your point is automatically irrelevant
 
Everything else is closed because I'm at work and it's proprietary information! and because it's 20 after 5 and I'm about to go home
 
@ArdaXi wat.
 
11:24 PM
I can't make dual-monitor screenshots easily here.
The imgur thingy doesn't work properly.
Ah, there we go.
That's what I have my desktop like almost all the time.
 
ponders suspending people posting .jpg screenshots of desktops for their crimes against humanity
 
@badp Imgur does it automatically.
 
@ArdaXi ponders suspending imgur
 
@badp Did you want a 3599x1456 24-bit PNG then?
ponders using 8-bit PNGs from now on to piss off @badp
 
It'll be humorous if you end up suspending people before I have.
 
11:28 PM
Having been suspended myself, I can relate.
 
I thought you were only kicked?
 
Hmm, if I can get @badp to suspend me for some invalid reason, maybe I can get his diamond taken away and then somehow get @IvoFlipse out of the running...
Yes, @badp, I like you that much.
 
I got chat suspended thrice for chat flags. The first time, I was quoting myself from the Die2nite room (a message that was starred there). The second time, I was quoting Ivo Flipse (three stars there). The third time, I made a Lonely Island reference.
 
Yeesh, why am I watching a Lets Play of Dragon's Lair 3D?
 
@badp I'm still confused who the hell flagged you.
 
11:30 PM
Wow. Me too, actually
 
I got suspended too, again for quoting.
 
Still never figured out who flagged Powerlord, either, for that matter.
 
@TimStone Flags are anonymous; it's probably for the best.
 
Quoting @Mana even.
 
Wait, suspensions for quoting? What were you quoting that would get you flagged?
 
11:31 PM
Still doesn't make any sense that you get suspended more than half an hour after the fact
 
Or were you super-nesting or something?
 
No, it was something alliterative. I'd have to look it up
 
Huh?
Wait what's going on?
 
@badp I'd agree, though stupid flags should be punished..
 
For badp, someone flagged him, which brought up a flag vote.
 
11:31 PM
Nothing... yet
 
@GraceNote http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/400781#400781
KITTY!
 
OMG SO OFFENSIVE
 
I admit... I clicked the wrong thing, without really reading it, so you can partly blame me for that one.
 
I see.
 
@badp What happens if I flag that for hurting my eyes?
 
11:32 PM
flags, bans, sues
 
I find it an hilarious confirmation of "everything is better with kittens", somebody thought otherwise.
 
Jan 31 at 21:14, by Powerlord
Deleted to make Arda look guilty. ;)
 
I remember that incident
 
@Mana Oh, it wasn't you, it was @Powerlord, apologies.
 
Oh.
 
11:33 PM
Oh, and you actually got flagged for that? Wow
 
See, that's what happens if I can no longer blame @badp. Blame goes ALL over the place.
@GraceNote I actually got suspended for that.
 
Flags cause suspension
 
@ArdaXi Eventually it'll gravitate over some other creature.
 
That's what happened to badp, you, and Powerlord.
 
Yeah, if the flag is a 30 mins long one, it's automated.
 
11:34 PM
@GraceNote Flagged means it's distributed to the users. It has to be confirmed by more people to turn into a suspension.
 
Mods can only suspend in whole hours.
 
@ArdaXi Unless a mod flags it, in which case, it's automatic.
 
Eh, I guess you can call it that way.
 
@badp I think my blame is now attracted by the colour... blue.
 
...for now. :-}
@ArdaXi The problem is that the language standards here are more... relaxed
but a flagged message will reach people across all rooms
 
11:36 PM
Well, you know, it depends on whom it's sent to.
To the SU people, the word 'game' could be seen as spam.
 
and will suspend you in every chatroom on the chat.stackexchange.com domain
 
@ArdaXi You should know the flag reviewing box only shows one message without context
 
@badp I know.

Q: fallout new vagas

joei beat the house allways wins 1 mission. i went to complete the house allways wins 2 but for some reason i dont have the platnum chip. i know mr house gave me the chip. is there any way to get under ground with out the platnum chip?

 
Which exempts... chat.meta.stackoverflow.com... and... is stackoverflow's chat also separate?
 
11:37 PM
Yes, @Powerlord
 
What did I tell you guys about starring my messages? :(
 
@Powerlord Yes.
 
Whatever you told us, @Arda, I wasn't arou... WARGH, @A makes a very big tool option now
 
@GraceNote Ahahaha, indeed it does.
 
Do normal "community" flag suspensions affect all of chat.stackexchange?
 
11:38 PM
@GraceNote @IvoFlipse... violated my message.
 
Oh, you mean the one about how we should star everything, especially Mana's statement about how you'll make a terrible mod.
 
I made the feed user name's even shorter, reload to apply.
 
@GraceNote Yes! Wait. No! The opposite!
Feb 2 at 6:39, by Arda Xi
I've got to go, I'll continue later. Star everything while I'm gone! Especially that @Mana comment!!!
 
See?
 
Feb 2 at 6:42, by LessPop_MoreFizz
Need a mod to remove the 'not' from that statement.
 
11:41 PM
We can always hire a hakutaku to eat that history.
 
So, yeah, I'm gonna go to sleep. Please don't star anything while I'm gone, nor edit this message.
5
 
Chat doesn't have flag reasons, does it?
 
I think the latter bit proves that we have a problem with mod abuse.
 
So, I can't flag that and say "needs editing"
 
You could flag it for mod attention, @Powerlord
 
11:41 PM
@Powerlord "Flag for moderator" attention to do that.
 
But... it'd get dismissed, most likely
 
@Powerlord No, you can't. And, appropriately, you shan't.
@GraceNote @badp has a diamond now. I wouldn't be too sure of that.
 
@ArdaXi @badp isn't the only one who can dismiss.
 
WHO STARRED THAT?
@GraceNote Well no, but he doesn't need the flag to edit.
I know that was you @badp
 
You do?
 
11:43 PM
Yes.
 
Okay.
 
Really? I thought it was Count Chocula.
 
@LessPopMoreFizz, @Oak and @tzenes aren't here, and @GraceNote wouldn't do that... right?
Maybe dagger it, but not pin it. Except with a dagger I suppose.
 
No, I didn't pin it
 
@ArdaXi She could've daggered it, but you asked not to edit it.
 
11:46 PM
Haven't really pinned anything since I cleared 12 stars in the process
 
There you go, unpinned.
 
Very well.
@GraceNote Oh, right. Well, it worked before you did that, it seems.
