@dkf @CodingHorrorBot should be back online I think?
Edit: Nope.

Wack.

Apparently mentioning it in the Status thread doesn't work?....
Wait, it's following all categories, right? I don't think it would get notifications if it's not...

I bounced it.

NodeBB shows the notification, just Sockbot didn't register it. Or something.

This guy's workplace has no shredder.
So he took his confidential documents into the restroom and set fire to them.
... huh?
I swear these questions have to be trolls.

@ben_lubar said in The Official Status Thread:
Guild Wars 2 has like 50 protagonists
Yes, but you will only see a relative few of them in any given personal story line.
-
@FrostCat you'll see most of them for like one mission and then you're supposed to be sad when they die with no context.
-
@ben_lubar That's because it's supposed to be a bunch of overlapping story arcs and not a single actual story, yes? This sort of thing is why writing stories for games is difficult (except in very linear cases).

So he took his confidential documents into the restroom and set fire to them.My company pays $40 a month to use a shredder service. We have a locked cabinet with a slot and a trash can in it, and once a month a guy comes with a locked wheelie bin. He empties the paper into the bin and either shreds it on the truck or back at their building, I don't know which.

I wouldn't consider those people protagonists, though.
-
@FrostCat apart from Destiny's Edge and whatever the fuck the Living World group is supposed to be called, who would you call a protagonist, then? Both of those groups appear in every character's personal story.
-
@blakeyrat said in The Official Status Thread:

Likely if no shredder, then they at least have some sort of cleaning supplies.
Just pour some bleach in with water in a bucket, and mix in the papers. Instant destruction!
-
@ben_lubar The player characters are the protagonists.
-
@dkf yeah, but the player character is in every player character's player character storyline.
-
@ben_lubar But each is a different story. Did you think there was just one?
-
@dkf other player characters are not protagonists in my story.
-
@ben_lubar Perspective. It's all about perspective. Everyone is the protagonist of their own story. They're not the protagonist of anyone else's.

@FrostCat said in The Official Status Thread:
Status: a client just sent me an email containing a screenshot of a word document with a screenshot of our application in it. This, I guess, is the new wooden table.
But they did actually take screenshots rather than photos of their screen with reflections or distortion over the stuff you need to read?

Steam decided 50% of my installed games needed updating:
-
@JazzyJosh I just had 0 byte updates for most of my games.
-
@ben_lubar Same here.
-
Status: computer hard locked. Recent security updates are the probable cause. Thanks, Infosec. No, of course I don't care that the last three hours of work are probably corrupted at best.
This only a scant few minutes before the deadline for PRB submissions. Oh well...
-
@loopback0 Only two here, but that's on my Surface, where I've only got a handful of my 500+ Steam collection installed

@JazzyJosh Not if it physically hurts to use it. It's never worth injuring yourself just to save a few hundred bucks.
Tell that to the Open Source community. :drum_snare_emoji:

Yeah. I mean look at this fucker:

Just one dumb fucking Orc amongst a bunch of other Orcs. Who the fuck cares about him? And more importantly, what sort of out-of-their-mind idiot would even try to make a story about...
Oh.
Oh =(
-
@ben_lubar said in The Official Status Thread:
who would you call a protagonist, then?
"the leading character or one of the major characters in a drama, movie, novel, or other fictional text."
You might get away with calling people like Lord Faron a protagonist, if you did the rich background of a human. I'd consider it somewhat of a stretch. Most of the characters are more like temporary guides or expositors, certainly not "major character"s.

Ben, that's why the player character is the protagonist.

@CarrieVS said in The Official Status Thread:

No, they're actual screenshots, not pictures. Screenshot app, paste into Word, maximize Word, hit printscreen so I can see her taskbar, paste THAT into Outlook. Now I have to open the email and maximize it just so I can see my app's window large enough to read what's going on.
-
@Lorne-Kates Bah, that low-rent cheesy CGI looks awesome.
Pay close attention to that last word, as it isn't "good".

Mister Underpants?
Lord Faron, not Swordmaster Faron. In Divinity's Reach he's still wearing clothes.

That's twilight sparkle talking about how Lord Faren has and I quote fancy panties.
-
@ben_lubar said in The Official Status Thread:

Oh, I didn't bother listening to the whole thing. But I did run into him swanning around in his loincloth in the Verdant Brink or wherever, so I knew what you meant.
But he dresses what passes for respectably in the first few personal stories.
-
@blakeyrat Heh. When we moved offices, the company refused to buy a shredder because lol paperless office.
Mind you, what my team does is literally writing software that lays out printed documents, and we handle quite a lot of confidential data. We have a half million dollar production printer in our cube farm to test with.
So we simply put all of our test data into file boxes. Eventually they acquiesced and got a cheap staples shredder. And then one day, one of the secretaries set about emptying the cubicle sized stash of boxes.
It took weeks. But my god that shitty little baby shredder did it eventually. It was completely trashed, though.
-
@Weng We've got a shredder on campus that's about the size of a shipping container, as we have a lot of confidential data (student financial information, teaching hospital, that sort of thing). I think it also compresses the resulting bits into a block that can be taken off for disposal, but I wouldn't swear to that.
-
status those iffy moments after updating the bios. This reboot is taking to long!
-
Status: Someone was eating cheese on the train coming in. Or at least I assume it was that, and not perpetrating a combination chemical and biological attack. Things that stink that awful shouldn't be opened in public spaces.

Whoa there, watch that Z-Order!

Similarly, I've always developed Java in Eclipse, but will be required to use IntelliJ. I'm sure
it'll be fineI'll never go back once I'm used to it.It's even better if they close them themselves.
Status: Just checked my JIRA mail folder: 12 new bug reports, 10 of them already closed by the author himself. I feel like today is going to be a good day.

I'm sure you could set up similar for

Status: Surprised.
Found some strange Excel behavior that is fixed in Excel 2016.
So if anyone asks what does the new Excel bring: if you use a slider on a pivot table you now can again dubbel click on a data cell to get the filtered details.

Status: only 3 hours of work left before I go on holiday for a week and a day.
I'm having a spa day with the Mrs tomorrow (I've never been to one before), then we're off to sunny Fuerteventura to the "place with the self-service beer pump" :-D
It's going to be IMMENSE!!! I'll check in on you guys occasionally, but please try not to burn the place down while I'm away ;-)

@DoctorJones Have a good one. Jammy bugger.
