Tavern on the Meta

6:00 PM

Sure, why not.

Hey

@Miller: Actually, no. This has been discussed many times before (see 1, 2, 3). Using inline code formatting for emphasis has always been frowned upon; that's what bold and italics are there for. — Amal Murali 17 hours ago

Should I have not edited the answer above?

hichris123

@AmalMurali ugh. no. never stop making those edits. THE BACKTICK OVERLOARDS MUST NEVER WIN!

Amal Murali

I KNOW!

See the comment after that:

@AmalMurali Stop it. You're being rude. I showed you courtesy enough to not revert your original edit, but to instead engage you in conversation. But instead of showing me similar respect, you've gone ahead and asserted your opinion again in my creative content. Your Link 1 is referring to suggested edits, not OP creative content. The primary answer says that "computer things" should probably count, and the link 3 says "don't know if it's possible to make a definitive list". I agree that my usage is an edge case even in my own estimation, but you're being rude to not talk first. — Miller 15 hours ago

Whaat! I was being rude?! I don't see how :/

hichris123

Welp, I guess I have some editing to do. ;P

Amal Murali

that deserves a shiny star anyway :P

hichris123

6:13 PM

:P

@AmalMurali I have no clue. Some people don't exactly like criticism, I guess.

Amal Murali

So, what do you think? I should have commented instead, suggesting the OP to change the formatting? Or edit and comment?

I made it clear why I'm editing in the Edit Summary.

hichris123

I just realized I spelled overlord wrong. ;P oh well.

@AmalMurali Usually I edit & comment. I don't think it's that big of a deal if you edit it, as if someone doesn't like it, they just rollback...

Braiam

@hichris123 backticks doesn't have overlords, they are overloards

Amal Murali

This just makes me sad:

@jadarnel27 brown cereal?

Braiam

@Bart plot twist: brownie cereal

hichris123

rofl

Bart

Oooh, that must be a thing. If it isn't a thing, make it so @Braiam!

Braiam

@hichris123 so, the representative existential example of the community is worth nothing?

I mean, what can be more representative example than 5 members of the existential community we run?

Anna Lear

6:37 PM

@hichris123 where's that from?

Bart

You think he might have a point @AnnaLear?

Braiam

@AnnaLear this is the user, but I can find the particular comment stackoverflow.com/users/3723670/user3723670?tab=activity

@Bart handling from flag queue vs looking at the post itself, possibly.

Ah yeah @AnnaLear, forgot about that one.

The brownest, @Bart.

Bart

Had to be @jadarnel27. Just checking.

jadarnel27

7:30 PM

Better safe than sorry.

I got my wife hooked on a video game. Which is crazy, because she rarely plays games at all. We played for 5 hours yesterday.

Anna Lear

Which game?

jadarnel27

And she's been playing quite a bit while I've been at work.

Rogue Legacy, @AnnaLear.

Have you played it?

Anna Lear

No, but I've heard of it.

jadarnel27

You should check it out. I think today is the last day that it's half-off on Steam.

I saw that @TimStone owns the game as well, though I didn't look to see if he's played a lot.

Anna Lear

I just bought a bunch of stuff during the summer sale. I'm good for now :)

jadarnel27

7:34 PM

Haha, nice.

I haven't played a platformer in a while. I forgot how infuriating they can be.

Manishearth

/me got Terraria off the sale

hichris123

@AnnaLear Is the Steam sale still going on?

Manishearth

Usual pattern. Pirate indie game to try it out. Invariably love it. Buy the crap out of it.

Anna Lear

@hichris123 ended yesterday

Bart

Isn't that the 2D minecraft @Manishearth?

Manishearth

7:45 PM

@Bart yep!

I somehow like Terraria better. But I haven't played too much Minecraft so it's a bit skewed

Bart

Seemed fun. Didn't get it because I already spent far too much time on Minecraft. Stupidly addictive.

Manishearth

haha

Tim Stone

8:02 PM

@jadarnel27 42 hours, apparently

TGMCians

anyone here went through this /

Anna Lear

@TGMCians define "went through this"

Manishearth

wait, not TL

Bart

@TGMCians yeah, a post about it on Meta was deleted by Tim who said he was taking care of it in some sense.

hichris123

@Manishearth lol, do they look similar to you?

;P

Manishearth

8:07 PM

yep

ALL HAIL THE TIM

TGMCians

Hmm, he put some post related to "able to do DDOS on StackOverflow" as well. he might be this stackoverflow.com/users/3785429/…

hichris123

@TGMCians going... going... gone!

TGMCians

yeah I see

I'm out, cya

hichris123

cya

Bart

@TGMCians it's a long time visitor. Nothing new there.

jadarnel27

8:25 PM

@TimStone Nice! I assume you have beaten it?

Tim Stone

Yeah, it was pretty fun. It has a NG+(and +, I think) mode, so I'd probably play it even more if I didn't have a superhugemassiveepic backlog of games.

It almost rivals my todo list in length

hichris123

@Jan around?

jadarnel27

@TimS Wow! That's serious business, a game backlog of that size.

hichris123

@AnnaLear still here? Accounts for you to nuke on mSE. meta.stackexchange.com/users/262941/user262941 and meta.stackexchange.com/users/262940/user262940

Anna Lear

Braiam

8:31 PM

why not 3 post flagged as spam and being your first 3 posts and account is flagged for moderation (or auto nucked)?

hichris123

@Braiam There's a couple of requests for that.

@Braiam I've heard that invoking his name 3 times in a row magically summons him at once.

@rene sock puppets? Temporary case of poor judgement?

I see that one of the answerers to that question has 280+k...

@Undo are you really 14?

...why?

1. I see that you're a moderator on [softwarerecs.se], and
2. [se] network's have a minimum age requirement, don't they?

user163250

Darn it.

user163250

Magic links don't work in chat :(

hichris123

@Cupcake Yeah, min age = 13.

Same for being a mod.

user163250

I find that to be very funny. Not in a bad way though. The mod thing.

Braiam

@Cupcake you mean multiline doesn't allow you to use magic

user163250

9:25 PM

Oh, is it a multiline issue?

user163250

Test: Software Recommendations.

user163250

Ah.

hichris123

@Cupcake Apparently you don't have to be 18 to be a mod, since the mod contract isn't... something. I can't remember.

Undo

@hichris123 discriminatory?

:P

hichris123

@Undo maybe. Being a 13-year old mod is fun, tho.

Anna Lear

9:27 PM

@hichris123 Wait, are you 13?

Undo

@AnnaLear He's within one year of me.

user163250

I have a hard time telling.

user163250

Zing!

hichris123

@AnnaLear yes.

Anna Lear

Y'all are making me feel old here. :P

Very true.

Braiam

makes @AnnaLear feels young telling her he's 22

Anna Lear

I didn't even have internet access at 13.

To be fair, that was in Russia. A touch behind the times.

Or maybe I first got it at 13? I forget.

Braiam

@AnnaLear oh, poor child

:(

Anna Lear

I fondly recall the pre-internet times. When I actually slept. ;)

jcolebrand

@AnnaLear oh August before the Eternal September ...

hichris123

@AnnaLear Were you there when it was the Soviet Union?

Anna Lear

@hichris123 Yeah. Born and raised. Soviet Union stopped being a thing when I was 7.

hichris123

@AnnaLear wow. So you were there when the wall fell.

user163250

That was in Berlin.

Anna Lear

9:31 PM

You're thinking Iron Curtain (and it was metaphorical, although the changes after USSR went down were noticeable.) The wall was in Germany.

hichris123

@Cupcake well, yeah, but changes everywhere after the wall fell.

Anna Lear

Although once in a while I picture USSR with a giant-ass wall around the western border. Like a real-life Mordor.

Braiam

@AnnaLear link or never happened!

I can't photoshop worth crap.
