Tavern on the Meta

**note to self:**
a) make an android Angry Bird clone with Infinite in the place of the birds and Bart in place of the pigs.
b) post the shop link in the tavern
c) watch the sales rise
d) quit SharePoint development and start swimming in money

Alas....why does everyone think I am @Bart's enemy

Bart

1:54 PM

@SPArchaeologist make a game about getting blocks and placing blocks. Sell it to MS for 2.5 billion.

Unihedron

@Bart .........

SPArchaeologist

@Bart Totally great idea! I could use @Uni as the main char!

Bart

@Unihedron :D Notch's explanation was understandable though

@SPArchaeologist we shall call him Steve

Infinite Recursion

Uni can't be the protagonist, @uni is pixelated

SPArchaeologist

@InfiniteRecursion That is just the HD-Quality texture.

jadarnel27

1:57 PM

@Unihedron No.

=)

Infinite Recursion

ok. So game can be @uni v/s @bart's socks

Bart

@InfiniteRecursion given that @Unihedron is my sock, that's kinda unfair

Sockception

Unihedron

but @bjb568 is my sock!

Bart

Absolutely @Uni

SPArchaeologist

@InfiniteRecursion I don't know why but Clay Figthers came to mind

Infinite Recursion

1:59 PM

Fine, then make it @bart collecting stars, mario style

no @spa...no clay. Yellow is fatal, you want to eat yellow me and @Jan hates yellow bananas

SPArchaeologist

Actuallly, I was thinking of something a tad more elaborate. Having @uni going around the world battling other tavern users with small, chick like hatchlings. I will call it Infinitémon

Unihedron

.... it sounds.. unpleasant

jadarnel27

Yellow is fatal? Who are you, the Green Lantern?

I used to think the gender ratio is low on SE @bart, now I think the ratio of socks v/s genuine users is lower

Unihedron

2:06 PM

@InfiniteRecursion speaking of the socks...

Bart

The balance is 50/50 among my socks @Inf

Don't want to be accused of being socksist.

Nah...am a glassist. I avoid GLASSES!!

Infinite Recursion

You do, @Bart. Identical glasses. And when I ask the fishy socks why they chose glasses, they tell me "we have reasons"

Bart

2:13 PM

We do ... we do have reasons ...

If they're not making the game open-sourced, I'd stop developing it and choose another game to mod.

@Braiam Ha. Money helps. But I can kinda see where he's coming from.

@Unihedron I'm actually looking forward to see what they'll do on that end. MS is getting quite game-dev friendly lately

Unihedron

2:15 PM

Don't know.

aww he left

Infinite Recursion

@Bart, did you see the new hidden avatars? You could sell them some glasses, they don't have any accessories at present.

jadarnel27

@SPArchaeologist Well yeah, one should always use #2 pencils: xkcd.com/499

Bart

That's my new line of camo-glasses @InfiniteRecursion

Infinite Recursion

Amazing marketing I must say @Bart. Any line of glasses for diseased eyes? One tavern-er has white granular cysts in his eye.

Bart

@InfiniteRecursion I marketed those as the "gran-away" line. Unfortunately though the elderly objected to that.

Braiam

2:20 PM

is official guys, we are in September

@Braiam Halo!

Infinite Recursion

When you were not here, I thought you left the eye behind to stare at us. It sincerely kept staring. So many came and left, but the eye still stares.

@Braiam Hola!

@InfiniteRecursion you should really give a thought to that :P lol

Thanks @DroidDev. If I escape being the derpy's lunch, and @Bart's team doesn't keyboard me, I will try for sure.

Q: Reach out to SoundCloud about outsourcing their support to Stack Overflow

SoundCloud "moved their API Support to Stack Overflow", and so developers are asked to post their questions over here. So far, so good -- see Third-party development support: hosted by Stack Overflow for a longer discussion, and I think the consensus is that "it is not a problem if the questions ...

We're all Shog's lab rats. The Stack Exchange team analyzes question and answer data all the time. Is this supposed to secretly be a complaint that "good" questions are getting downvoted, closed, and deleted "unfairly"? Also, the cake is a lie. — Cupcake Jul 22 at 7:42

@SPArchaeologist wat?

3:10 PM

@Unihedron not rich. I just don't have to deal with an ISP when running these things, I have an EC2 VPS for random projects like this.

Unihedron

Cool, they good?

Undo

yeah

Infinite Recursion

@Undo good to know, I thought santa could be more constructive. Killing bots isn't the best hobby, but I will let him have fun with smokey then.

Unihedron

Thanks for sharing @Undo, I've actually never messed with VPC before. Only recently I got some webhosting.

Undo

If it starts costing big big bucks, I'll either optimize it like crazy and start asking people to respect it, or take up a bitcoin collection or something. But right now it costs maybe a penny a month to run, I can absorb that ;)

Infinite Recursion

Thanks @lostsock. It's amazing. So Jan v/s baba's story goes way back upto Jan 2011!!

lostsock

3:41 PM

@InfiniteRecursion someone should make a bot that randomly quotes one of @Bart's messages every hour on the hour

Bart

/me writes bot to star said messages

lostsock

that way, the people who are usually sleeping when @Bart is on can feel the awesomeness too

Infinite Recursion

@Bart already does that, doesn't he? Who needs a bot.

feel the awesomeness or fall asleep by reading random insanity @lostsock

Good idea, now onwards I too will fall asleep when Bart is on.

Bart

@InfiniteRecursion the sad thing is that I have the exact same effect on myself.

Infinite Recursion

Then how do you contribute your wise words to the tavern @Bart?

falls asleep

Bart

3:48 PM

It's basically me falling asleep on my keyboard. That the outcome makes any sense is purely coincidental.
