Meteos

Meteos (メテオス, Meteosu) is a 2005 action puzzle video game developed by Q Entertainment and published by Nintendo and Bandai for the Nintendo DS portable gaming system. The name of the game comes from the English word meteor, transliterated to "meteo". Meteos was released in Japan on March 10, 2005, in North American on June 27, 2005, in Europe on September 23, 2005 and in Australia on November 24, 2005. Meteos was very well received upon its release. The game is often compared to Lumines, a game for PlayStation Portable by the same developer, which also features falling blocks. In general, Meteos...

Shadow Wizard

@SPArchaeologist so you claim it's plagiarism?

Won't be surprised :/

@berserk Penthouse

DroidDev

@berserk I second that. Here, have a pic of some chicks:

SPArchaeologist

@ShadowWizard nope, I claim that a little research could show that a whole game was made on that concept. And while it was a puzzle game - so not really much developed plot wise - it worked.

but as long as it gets attention and being taken care of, guess it's all good :)

@ShadowWizard which one is "this"...

Shadow Wizard

@DroidDev because bot is innocent, you're not :D

DroidDev

@ShadowWizard now I know what you think of me :P

SPArchaeologist

@ShadowWizard that is the point. I expect no one to change because of me. At the very best, I could make some devil advocate claims that my behaviour is better in specific cases , but nothing more

DroidDev

11:00 AM

my junior just asked me if he can leave some pixels(like 10-15) out of views. Meaning not match layout exactly to the style guides given by client

Shadow Wizard

@DroidDev 10-15 don't sound like much but guess it can cause the whole design to break, no? D:

@rene ripe

DroidDev

@ShadowWizard 10-15 is too much and you are right about design break and considering the client, they'll just fire us with that kind of build

SPArchaeologist

@ShadowWizard I have clients that claimed there was 1px miss-alignment on sharepoint webpart on the same "row". On IE.

DroidDev

UI is everything these days

Shadow Wizard

@SPArchaeologist hmm.... wonder if @nicael is one of them.... :-)

@SPArchaeologist see this, doesn't it sound same as "1px miss-alignment" you mentioned? :)

@DroidDev yep. So what did you do? You can take a smiting stick from Bart you know... :D

DroidDev

11:06 AM

@ShadowWizard yesterday my CTO told me that I don't have to be aggressive. I should rather be assertive. I am wondering the meaning of word since

@ShadowWizard gripe

Shadow Wizard

@DroidDev literally speaking it means being "pushy", make things happen.

SPArchaeologist

Shadow Wizard

But you can be assertive in many ways, by being aggressive is one of the ways.

@SPArchaeologist huh, hard to see reply arrow on images... ;)

@DroidDev grape

DroidDev

@ShadowWizard oh! that means that I am neither aggressive nor assertive. I can tell them that this is not the coding level we except. But, I wonder if that would be assertiveness

@ShadowWizard wine

SPArchaeologist

:3122310 old "illusion". The two images you se one on top of the other are the same paper image cut and rearranged. After the rearrange, one of the dwarf disappear. That is the solution to @nicael "help the arrow has a 1px misalignment problem"

@ShadowWizard there is an episode about that too :P

and if you happen to like 'Shy like I do, it is one of the best ones.

DroidDev

11:12 AM

I just told another one of my junior to complete a task and she told me that she has to leave for home ._.

wondering if they really consider me senior :/

rene

Exactly

DroidDev

I just told her that she has to complete the task. I don't care if she takes her PC to her home. Now she is sitting at her chair and looking at me with weird eyes

Shadow Wizard

@DroidDev being assertive means making her stay and complete the task and by this make things happen. Which way to achieve this is up to you: for example you can ask nicely. You can try to convince. You can threat. Etc...

lol

See? You are assertive. :-)

DroidDev

actually, I usually prefer to be friendly. Sometimes, they take my leniency as my weak point. Ok, they mostly do

berserk

That's life.

Shadow Wizard

11:16 AM

@DroidDev think it's the biggest problem of great many bosses...

DroidDev

plus, most of my juniors are older than me

rene

@DroidDev Maybe tell your team you are working on task Y and to complete it you need Task X to be done, ask who wants to help or who has a good idea how to accomplish task X quickily within the given QA attributes...

@DroidDev just like Kasra in Stack Exchange ;)

rene

@DroidDev remember it is more social problem than a management problem. Don't try to manage to get things done, manage that your direct reports want to get things done for you (and not for someone else). That is more a soft-skill...

@ShadowWizard I just read that.

What was that? :3

Shadow Wizard

12:44 PM

@berserk WAG is based on chain of words, going from the most recent upwards until the very first word. Until that "accident" on Feb 19 there was always one chain, with first word being unicorn and posted by me. Now we'll have two chains: "my" chain, ending in Feb 19 then "your" chain starting with the word "back" and going all the way into the future. :D

berserk

Oh!

Does that mean I am pro or smth? :P

Shadow Wizard

@berserk lol, nope. It just means that even major chain break won't kill WAG ;)

rene

You could post on meta to ask for an update of the chat database to fix the chain..

berserk

Two chains \o/

But it will create chaos.

rene

What if we pickup on the chain that ended on Feb 19th?

SPArchaeologist

12:48 PM

@rene THIS

rene

Yeah, but let @ShadowWizard post it, he has enough rep to loose

Shadow Wizard

@rene even this won't help since @ber's reply was not part of WAG so having "back" be reply to the last word of first chain (too lazy to check now what is the word :)) will be worse.

@berserk why chaos?

berserk

@ShadowWizard two chains

Shadow Wizard

@rene and lose over 1000 words?? nope. Few words might be acceptable but so many words gone from the game can't be tolerated :)

@berserk yeah, but why would two chains create chaos?

berserk

If they run simultaneously.

rene

12:52 PM

@ShadowWizard I'm not going to argue with the Wizard which happens to be room owner as well...

DroidDev

@ShadowWizard are you sure that I won't start a new chain to get a chain by name in game while you are gone at weekend? :P

....and others too?

I mean what happens if everyone wants a chain by their name started?

rene

Yeah, it is unfair!

DroidDev

people coming in gangs

getting chains of their own

:P

It was just an accident _

rene

That's what they always tell the police....

DroidDev

12:58 PM

I am actually talking about me getting motivated by this accident and trying to get a chain of my own

berserk

@rene :|

DroidDev

LOL

:P

Shadow Wizard

@berserk but they are not, that's the cool part. Unless people will reply on old words, but this can happen with one chain too so not relevant :)

DroidDev

throws @berserk in front of train

Shadow Wizard

@DroidDev As long as we'll reply only to latest word it won't be fatal, just cause me bit of headache to locate the new chains beginning and adapt the stats code.

@DroidDev but it won't be shown anywhere, stats are analyzing the full list of words, regardless of what chain they were posted in :)

(or "will" is the correct word, since right now stats don't support such a thing :))

berserk

1:03 PM

its cool to have a personal WAG chain XD

@DroidDev many passengers gonna die coz of that :/

DroidDev

@ShadowWizard yup, I don't think it'll be fatal, until people don't start thinking that its cool to have a personal WAG chain :P

well...I think its cool though

who's gonna race in that thing. I am not going to drive that over 200mph ever

Shadow Wizard

@DroidDev so this junior is the opposite of the female junior you mentioned before?

@SPArchaeologist Sounds unicorns are lazy :P

SPArchaeologist

@DroidDev check your forehead, probably you are just a pony that was walking in Sweet Acres orchard when an apple felt on his head... and is stuck believing he is a ninja since then.

Shadow Wizard

@berserk you know how much energy teleport requires? It must be exhausting for the unicorns to teleport :)

rene

2:47 PM

@DroidDev I had one of those on my project last year. I simply stayed until he went home, after a couple of days he felt uneasy about that so we came to an agreement were we would agree on a time to leave both for home. That was always much earlier if he was left alone...

DroidDev

@rene Hmm..He is a fresher, so mistakes were bound to happen. I had already taken some leverage, so no harm is on our way yet.

rene

Making a lot of mistakes is the best way to learn. I make them everyday.

berserk

@ShadowWizard I guess they have a plenty of energy for that :D

I personally feel laziness for physical work :P
