No wait, that wasn't reproducing correctly...
Let me see...
Oh, right. Wrong type of code block
Wut
That message had 4 spaces in front of it
Uh...
Stupid Pinkie Pie
Yeah, it's a chat bug
 
I reported it
 
Its nice and warm here today. 0F / -18C
 
user15026
@powerlord it is similarly cold here too.
 
So Markdown is being parsed within code blocks
 
4:03 PM
6F feels like -8F. It's warming up!
 
Like **this**, perhaps?
No, that's not quite it
 
The autolinker is crazy
 
@TimStone what? Make it yourself.
 
Hold on while I craft a diamond out of thin air :P
 
@TimStone Simply send Nick the required metadata changes.
 
4:07 PM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone So, you gave me this awesome chat thingie, a custom background... What other pony related things can you do for me? <_<
 
He already updated it
 
@TimStone Name more sites.
 
I'm so confused. closes @badp as Confuses @badp

Q: Why do red blood cells contain haemoglobin and not myoglobin

user2967So I am reading about muscles and I come across myoglobin. It has a much higher affinity for oxygen than haemoglobin. So why were animals evolved to have heamoglobin in red blood cells, rather than myoglobin, which would be much more advantageous?

VTC, 'Why did they do it that way?'
 
@TimStone What? It doesn't confuse me.
 
4:09 PM
I can only select from the close reasons I'm given, shh

@badp Voting to close @badp as Confuses badp.
That's two
 
@TimStone "Your face is too localized."
 
We only need three more votes to close @badp
 
your mum isn't localised enough
 
casts super close vote and super reopen vote, resetting the count of outstanding close votes to zero
 
@OrigamiRobot your answer to my question is not an answer
 
@kalina He does that.
 
I won't flag it in this instance due to the humorous value of said post
All hail @GnomeSlice
 
@kalina We can take that as an admission of guilt, then
 
@GnomeSlice I'm sorry, your sock puppet outed herself. Want that merge?
 
4:13 PM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone take what, there is nothing
 
@kalina It's not an answer because the question is not constructive. — OrigamiRobot 1 min ago
 
har har har
 
@kalina See no evil, hear no evil, say no evil
 
@GnomeSlice's sockpuppet wouldn't last 5 minutes before being figured out.

@OrigamiRobot the question is very constructive. I am in fact very disappointed that it is getting downvoted so much, it's almost like you guys are too serious
 
4:15 PM
@OrigamiRobot It's lasted longer than that.
 
@OrigamiRobot @GnomeSlice is the bestest
 
@kalina Almost
 
@GnomeSlice Wait, you have a sock puppet!?
 
@kalina My answer tells you exactly why it's not constructive.
 
@Fluttershy hello!
 
4:15 PM
@Fluttershy Don't be silly.

@GnomeSlice's sockpuppet wouldn't last 5 minutes before being figured out.
 
@Fluttershy Its you O_o
 
I've had them in the past.
 
@OrigamiRobot your answer explains why the question shouldn't be answered
 
@Fluttershy That can't be true. Don't talk crazy!
 
4:16 PM
@Mana ruined one of them.
 
@kalina It's not you. You have too much rep.
 
@kalina Sorry, you aren't swearing enough
 
and in light of your answer, I am not going to push for the question to be legitimately answered
@YiJiang'sEvilClone everybody who stars this thinks posting star baits and editing or removing them after the fact is abuse
3
@Fluttershy that's exactly what I want you to think
 
@RonanForman And then @Fluttershy was the sockpuppets
 
@Fluttershy Where "I" = "GnomeSlice"
 
4:16 PM
12 secs ago, by kalina
@Fluttershy Where "I" = "GnomeSlice"
 
@kalina If it were to be answered, the site would fall into chaos. That makes the question destructive, which is the opposite of constructive.
 
@kalina I don't know which monster wouldn't love kittens
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Fluttershy, in fact, does not love kittens.
 
FAE
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I'm allergic to cats, so I'm not super fond!
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I hate cats.
 
4:18 PM
Awwwww
 
@Fluttershy We are no longer friends.
 
user15026
@fluttershy we are not friends anymore.
 
@Wipqozn Were we ever? =P
@AshleyNunn =(
NOBODY GIVES @FAE A HARD TIME WHEN SHE SAYS SHE DOESN'T LIKE THEM!
 
@OrigamiRobot I forgot about that.
 
user15026
4:18 PM
@fluttershy she has a reason!
 
Bleh. Chest cold and fever are not fun friends.
 
@badp abuse would be pinning it
 
@Fluttershy She's allergic though. She has an excuse. You're just a terrible person.
 
Please stop editing that message. I'm getting pinged whenever you do that
It's annoying
 
user15026
@fbueckert that sounds awful.
 
4:19 PM
@AshleyNunn My parents cat attacked me at regular intervals when I was a kid. It was traumatic.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone blame badp
 
It takes two to tango
 
user15026
@fluttershy okay that is acceptable
 
user15026
we can be friends again
 
@Fluttershy My word. Now I feel sympathy for you.

@Wipqozn you took the bait... excellent
@YiJiang'sEvilClone badp isn't even in the top 3 editors on Arqade, he doesn't count
 
@kalina Come on now, you two edit warring over a chat message
Isn't that just the definition of romance?
 
don't lock me away
I don't want to be locked
 
OOOOOOOOOOONE MILLION YEARS DUNGEON
 
4:23 PM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone you did this wrong by replying, now the star looks weird
 
@OrigamiRobot <3
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot I don't think you can yell in a voice that high.
 
@OrigamiRobot No.
 
@kalina Yeah, but hey, I don't see the starred message list, remember
 
what is the 'top-7' meta tag for?
 
4:24 PM
@FAE You'd be surprised.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone stop procrastinating
 
HEY
 
@kalina Site attributes in general or something
 
@OrigamiRobot Arqanauts.
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot You'll have to show me the next time we're on mumble together.
 
4:24 PM
 
@kalina Stop stealing Twilight's job
 
@badp you just wanted to status-decline something I did
 
THOSE GRAPHICS ARE DIRECTLY FROM FANTASTIC CONTRAPTION
 
@GnomeSlice That is the most painful picture to look at.
 
4:25 PM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I am @GnomeSlice, stop addressing my sockpuppet
 
The pink and yellow things.
 
That poor being is screaming for euthanasia.
 
@badp Yeah, the starting ones are pretty fucked up.
 
@FAE I'll show you mine of you show me yours.
 
speaking as @GnomeSlice, I love My Little Pony

Robert Cartaino on July 09, 2010

Groups have an amazing ability to self organize — not by following rules or hierarchies of authority, but through basic human nature. Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a spontaneous brainstorming session with a group of colleagues? Sometimes you just know that you’re at the start of something big — something important — when everyone is abuzz with ideas, collaborating wildly with enthusiasm and energy.

That’s how it feels each time a new Stack Exchange site is launched. Not only in the questions and answers that are posted, but in the back room collaborations where the self-governance is starting to take shape — in meta. …

 
@kalina Sorry, can't hear you, you're not swearing
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot It's a date!
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I don't swear unless I need to portray extremely strong feelings or demonstrate the amount of impact a sentence requires
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone NOT FUNNY
 
4:27 PM
@GnomeSlice Yeah, Gnome can stop his sock puppets from swearing if he wants.
 
this is where @GnomeSlice and I make our own channel so we can swap sentences and really confuse you all
 
@GnomeSlice Not fucking funny
 
Anyone seen @PicnicButton today? It's his turn in Conclave.
 

  Android Hell

lol no it's the android hell. It Is a Real Place, and You Will...
 
that was a fun day
all those smilies
where is the one where we all deleted our messages
 
4:29 PM
@Fluttershy I have not. It's a shame, he's a really fungi.
 
@FAE Oh... I.... Er... This is too much pressure!
 
Okay, I suck at Incredipede.
 
@OrigamiRobot but the two of you will be having yelling competitions! So cute!
 
@GnomeSlice I have no idea what that is.
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot Is the pressure building up inside your robot body and making you tingle?
 
4:30 PM
Make sure you record the session.
 
@GnomeSlice Have you ever heard of Corrypt? @PicnicButton was talking about it last night. Sounds like something you might like.
 
@Fluttershy I linked it in here a few days ago.
It's hard.
 
Okay, I suck at Incredipede.
 
I haven't even seen the magic mechanic everyone's been talking about yet.
 
@GnomeSlice Oh. Gotcha.
 
4:32 PM
@FAE I have to go lie down now.
 
@OrigamiRobot I totally missed the "lie" in that sentence...
 
O_O
Sir! I am a gentleman.
 
@OrigamiRobot gentlerobot.
 
@OrigamiRobot What does your being a gentleman have to do with my ability to read? O_o
 
@Fluttershy You should have known better.
 
4:36 PM
@Fluttershy I would never say such things.
 
@OrigamiRobot Never say never.
 
CHAT
WHY
 
@Fluttershy You just did! Twice!
 
yesterday, by GnomeSlice
Holy crap, Corrypt is awesome. And hard. And free.
 
@GnomeSlice Have you ever played The Journey Down?
 
4:42 PM
Wallpaper of the day.
@Wipqozn Yes. As any self-respecting fan of point/click games should.
It is amazing.
 
@GnomeSlice AH, I see. Might try it one day. Was just curious.
You should ask some questions about it on the site, generate some traffic for it. Assuming you have any questions.

Q: Can a Siren's elemental weapons trigger a heal over time effect?

SoreanI plan on playing a siren at level 50 as a majority healer/support class while my friends are the damage dealers. The restoration talent in the Harmony tree states "Shooting other players heals them." At 5/5 the skill converts 30% of damage done into healing. That got me thinking that if my el...

 
@Wipqozn Not really, I wasn't stuck for more than a few minutes on anything.
 
You should try Zack and Wiki @GnomeSlice, if you already haven't.
 
I tend to figure things out for myself when I play stuff, which is why I have such a hard time asking questions lately.
 
4:44 PM
@AnnaLear You have Rocksmith, yes?
 
@Wipqozn AAAHAHA AMAZING GAME
Let down only by the controls.
I loved that game.
 
IT was pretty awesome.
 
> Sarah Palin's House
Ahahahahahaha
 
@Fluttershy, have I mentioned Ni No Kuni? You asked me about games I'm anticipating this year, and that is one of them.
 
@agent86 SAme here. I'm just deciding whether or not to buy it now, or wait a bit.
 
4:53 PM
the short version - Level 5 (professor layton et al) and Studio Ghibli made a JRPG for DS and PS3, the PS3 version got a translation and is coming out this week, I believe.
 
@agent86 Came out today.
 
@OrigamiRobot yeah, why?
 
@Wipqozn yeah, I'll probably wait, personally. backlog and so forth.
 
@agent86 I wish I had a ps3. =(
 
@agent86 Exactly.
 
4:54 PM
@Fluttershy :(
2
 
@agent86 That sounds fantastic
 
@AnnaLear Did you already know how to play guitar?
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone it's apparently really well done, with a crappy demo on PSN
 
@OrigamiRobot yeah, though I was/am severely out of practice
I knew the basics, at any rate.
 
@Fluttershy They'll probably go even cheaper after the PS4 launch. Whenever the hell that comes
Also here's hoping the PS4/720 support 4k resolution, monitors/TVs desparately need a good reason to support UHD
 
4:59 PM
I cannae focus.
 
@BenBrocka The only thing I hope the PS4 has is the ability to read PS3 hard drives, encryption be damned.
 
FAE
@BenBrocka I only just got a new tv, dammit!
 
@GnomeSlice The Scottish accent probably isn't helping
Also, I have two guitars, but I don't know how to play them :(
 
FAE
@SaintWacko I have way too many guitar-shaped objects in my apartment considering how small it is.
 
@fbueckert But if they can read PS3 hard drives, you won't have to buy new stuff! :O
 
5:01 PM
@FAE You didn't pay for it, so it's not like you're losing much. =P
 
@fbueckert Probably not, but there's a transfer utility I'm sure they'll use or upgrade for moving.
 
FAE
@Fluttershy Hush you! :P
 
@SaintWacko I just want them to be able to read them so I can get my saves off of the hard drive of my dead PS3.
 
@fbueckert I already abandoned that fight. I do make sure everything backs up to the cloud now though for that reason
 
@FAE wait. secret free tvs? this is relevant to my interests.
 
5:03 PM
@agent86 You opted out and got the PS3 instead, methinks.
 
@BenBrocka I ain't losing hundreds of hours of PS2 saves to Sony's, "Aww, too bad. Sucks to be you!" encryption.
 
Wow, network just went to shit
 
@Fluttershy oh. old and busted secret free tvs. NEVERMIND.
 
@SaintWacko Welcome, brother!
 
@agent86 =P
 
5:03 PM
@fbueckert Oh, PS2 saves are a bitchy matter. I don't think I can cloud backup those. Fortunately most of my saves are still on physical PS2 cards
 
@GnomeSlice grumble
 
On that note I really really hope the PS4 has built in, ideally software, PS2 emulation that they don't take away
 
This is ridiculous, it's taking 15 seconds to get the response from a command executed on the test systems
 
@BenBrocka Yeah. Don't really care about PS3 saves; didn't have much there. But when my save data is locked into a hard drive for no reason but because Sony's scared to shit of hacking, I tend to be a little irked.
 
FAE
@BenBrocka That would be nice, especially as they've stopped making PS2s now.
 
5:06 PM
@FAE Forgot about that. I almost picked one up but they haven't dropped in price that crazy much
 
FAE
@BenBrocka I still have an old, fat PS2 and I'm worried about its health. :( I wanted to pick one up while in the US but I couldn't really find one that wasn't refurbished and I'd rather get a new one, though they're hard to find. Amazon has them at $150 I think?
 
@FAE close to that yeah
 
Fuck I've done no work all morning.
 
FAE
@BenBrocka I had already been thinking about picking up a new one on this US trip, then I read about the news that they were going to stop making them and was like "Crap, I didn't get to order before the inevitable price spike"
 
The whole saves/compatability nightmare is really making me tempted to move to emulators for consoles without good PC backups (the Vita's is great). I really hate having physical memory cards go bad or console-locked crap disapear with the console (which both the Wii and PS3 are terrible for)
PS3's cloud backup thing is great but it doesn't cover PS1/PS2 saves, just PS3 ones
@FAE Used ones will always be cheap...it's the most ubiquitous console on the planet
 
FAE
5:10 PM
@BenBrocka I'm just a little nervous about refurbished quality. :S
 
@BenBrocka The Wii is at least easily moddable, which makes it much more versatile.
The PS3, though, is completely stupid about what happens when it dies.
 
I've never been nervous about console quality...I must own/have owned a dozen consoles now, counting portables, and my first PS3 was the only one to ever die on me (that whole generation of consoles seems to have had it's issues)
 
Yeah, if you're going refurbished, just spend 1/5th the money and ebay one
@BenBrocka What about the NES where you had to put the cartridges in just right?
 
True, the NES is kinda bitchy (at least my console is, good/bad to know that's common)
The side loaded thing was stupid anyway
 
I hate ice :(
 
5:16 PM
@kalina It's wonderful in glasses of water
 
@SaintWacko it's not when you lose your footing and smack your head on something
 
I actually don't like ice in my drinks. Ice means more water and less drink, a lose-lose situation
 
@kalina Ouch :(
@BenBrocka I used to not, but then I discovered how much better they are when they stay cold
I don't drink quickly, so I need ice to keep them cold
 
@SaintWacko I use stones instead
 
@BenBrocka Unless you're drinking water!
 
5:18 PM
@Phill.Zitt Well, that's certainly better
 
also, literally nobody over here does mineral water ice cubes
 
@Sterno I hate when my water gets watered down!
 
why would you put dirty water cubes into a mineral water drink
 
Why would you drink mineral water?
 
@Sterno The trick is to ask for a drink with no ice, and then after you've drank some ask if you could get some ice.
 
5:20 PM
@Wipqozn Ooh, there's a neat idea
 
@Phill.Zitt because I don't fancy the idea of drinking somebody else's excrement, regardless of how filtered it is?
 
More drink, less water, and it still stays cold!
3 hours ago, by OrigamiRobot
@kalina is just made of money with her three monitors and $150 gaming mice and $200 headsets and monthly $500 payments to @Wipqozn
 
heh
 
there is an unprecedented amount of prejudice against me today
 
No, I just don't like mineral water.
 
5:22 PM
2 hours ago, by kalina
you guys just hate me
 
@Phill.Zitt that's fine, mineral water doesn't like you either
@SaintWacko this is the truth
I get the message
Bye.
 
@kalina :P
...
It's alright, she's really still in here, since she's @GnomeSlice's sockpuppet
 
I've never seen someone ragequit from a chatroom before.
 
Writers Chat, going on now in The Overlook. Come chat with us (if you like).
 
@Phill.Zitt I do it a lot.
 
5:29 PM
This confuses me.
 
@Phill.Zitt I don't rage quit, I left for dramatic effect and then made coffee
3
 
Good idea.
 
@kalina I figured you had a good reason for leaving. I do that occasionally :)
Although I haven't yet had occasion to do it here
 
Can't decide if TSTS or DNFTT
 
@Phill.Zitt What?
 
5:36 PM
"takes self too seriously" or "do not feed the troll
"*
 
@Phill.Zitt neither
 
I swear, the seconds in Super Hexagon lasts longer than real life seconds
 
@AnnaLear I was wondering about how well it could be used for learning.
 
FAE
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Haha I feel like that too.
@OrigamiRobot @RonanForman has it too, you could ask him as well.
 
I have something incredibly important and desperately urgent that I need your help with
 
5:38 PM
Jan 4 at 15:18, by OrigamiRobot
@RonanForman You have Rocksmith for PC?
 
which should I get from Dominos? Veggie Volcano or Meat Feast
 
Meat Feast
2
 
understood
 
Meat Feast if for no reason other than Veggie Volcano is a stupid name
 
@Phill.Zitt Do not feed the troll which takes itself too seriously?
 
FAE
5:40 PM
@OrigamiRobot I wasn't here for this!
 
Meat Feast
 
@FAE I know. I was sad.
 
@kalina meat volcano
 
@BenBrocka sorry I already ordered
 
@Phill.Zitt So, first time on The Bridge?
 
5:42 PM
@SaintWacko I had an instance of that once. It was not pretty.
@bwarner no. just never really had a reason to hang around.
 
Aww, man, I've used up my stars already!
@BenBrocka ★
 
oh no @Phill.Zitt is a roleplayer
 
@kalina gasp
 
@kalina well, now you know what you should order next time
 
@BenBrocka I have a very short term memory, I won't remember this conversation next time
 
5:45 PM
@OrigamiRobot I think it would work fairly well. It won't teach you music theory or anything, but there are minigames that help you practice techniques and playing along with the songs is pretty fun. The game also adapts to your skill level and it mostly works (it does tend to sometimes throw you into songs you've never seen before).
 
@AnnaLear I can't do chords. They are mind blowing.
 
@kalina We will constantly spam you with "Meat Volcano" in order to remind you

Q: Mass effect 3 stuck in elevator after installing DLC

AllahjaneThis is my second playthrough .. first time it was flawless but during my second playthrough I have all single player major DLCs installed. At the point you go to ardat yakshi monastery where you meet samara (depends on ME2) after two battles with banshees you take an elevator to the great hall...

 
@OrigamiRobot Practice practice practice
 
oh no?
I also program.
I'm the evil trifecta of fat neckbeard computer nerds
 
5:48 PM
@AnnaLear I can't practice when my brain shuts down just thinking about it.
I'd rather play bass anyway.
 
Well, Rocksmith has a bass addon now. ;)
I haven't tried it yet though.
 
@Phill.Zitt no not really oh no, some of my favourite games contain roleplaying elements but I've certainly never been a boardgame type person
 
So, our most freqently asked question is asked by Skyrim users attempting to find their follower. Really guys?
 
StrixVaria, Wipqozn, OrigamiRobot, Ashley Nunn, and Ullallulloo - you are all on my list.
@Ender yes
 
@kalina Is this your cool people list?
 
5:51 PM
@OrigamiRobot this is the list of people who closed my completely constructive question as not constructive
demonstrating that groups of people are controlling the site by force, banding together against us innocents
I hope you realise how little I care about this!
 
@kalina Meh, I'm sure I've always been on some list of yours.
 
@OrigamiRobot yes but that list wasn't a bad list to be on
 
So, fellow cat owned, I have a query for you
 
What question is this?
 
@badp you can delete that question now, I know you wanted to from the moment I posted it
 
5:53 PM
@kalina Awww you had me on a good list?
 
@OrigamiRobot you will never know.
 
A different cat from one that owns this house starts singing in our lawn every day at pretty much the same hour
 
@kalina I am blushing.
 
The home owner doesn't seem too impressed, but he's insisting (and of opposite gender)
 
A cat owns your house?
 
5:53 PM
@OrigamiRobot I hope it is a malfunction followed shortly by a fatal rupture
 
@BenBrocka All cats do own the households that nourish them, obviously.
 
@kalina Oh you.
 
I don't understand if he's trying to just have some social life, if he's trying to hit on her or if he's trying to beg for our attention
Any guesses?
 
All cats own @badp's house. Data accepted.
 
@OrigamiRobot Accept all the things!
 
5:55 PM
@badp electrify your lawn with 1.21 gigawatts
 
The jury might be out on video games and violence but it looks like there's some solid evidence on the link between hyperbole and ignorance.
 
I MUST FOCUS
 
@badp sounds to me like he's begging for a 5.56 round.
Just sayin.
 
@Ender of course you would resort to gun violence
 
@GnomeSlice Then why did you say that here?
 
5:55 PM
@kalina I have never been a boardgame person either.
 
@OrigamiRobot Where else am I supposed to say it?
 
@badp how many shotguns to you have? 2?
 
@Ender Only 5.56?
 
@GnomeSlice Android Hell
 
@agent86 0
 
5:56 PM
@kalina I'm going to ask you nicely to keep your predjudice out of this chat room.I wont ask again.
 
@GnomeSlice You could have not said it anywhere.
 
@Ender I wasn't prejudging!
 
@OrigamiRobot Not... say it.... anywhere?
 
@Ender You have kind of asked for it this time, to be completely fair. Agent's making the same joke
(at least from my perspective)
 
@Ender and you are not my real dad!
 
5:56 PM
@GnomeSlice I realize this is a new concept for you. I'll give you a moment.
 
people have thrown or shot things at cats since , well, since cats
 
@Ender + take a joke, it's really obvious when I'm angry and it's not currently obvious!
 
@OrigamiRobot I don't like it.
 
@GnomeSlice New things are scary.
 
@Kalina the last time you mentiond it you were seriouse. This is me, backing down.
 
5:57 PM
@Ender You forget the time when cats were goddamn deities :P
 
Apology Granted
 
@kalina You are never obvious.
 
@Ender last time it was obvious I was angry :(
 
@Badp DAM your right lol
 
@OrigamiRobot What about new puppies? Would you be scared of those?
 
5:58 PM
@OrigamiRobot I am always obvious, I have never once in my life said there is "nothing" wrong when clearly there is
 
@BenBrocka I am a robot. I have no fear.
 
@OrigamiRobot installing Fear... complete
 
@BenBrocka Parker spends his whole life planning your untimely demise. A puppet would just start gnashing at your leg until you stop bleeding.
 
@kalina When did you get my root access?
 
@origami I gave it to her
Guilty as Charged.
 
5:59 PM
Where did you get it?!?!?!
 
@origami Wallmart, didn't you know? You can get ANYTHING there.
 
@OrigamiRobot I installed a virus the last time you rebooted from the memory stick in your... "auxiliary port"
 
Parker spends most of his life planning how to get at the bunnies/other cats outside
 
LOL
 
all your base are belong to me
 
5:59 PM
@bapd seriously tho, maybe he just wants to be friends.
 
@BenBrocka That's Ben practice
