Awhhhhh commannnn... ;)

There's no need to bring the interns into this discussion.

Browser: Chrome 28.0.1500.7, OSX 10.7.5

This is a tough one because I can't get 100% reproducibility, but it's also a critical one because it destroys edits in progress.

When adding Relateds in their tabs, trying to add the same one twice from the dropdown has a popup "Object already in table". (It says Object no matter which tab, which is fine. It's a database object, not the definition for wiki page purposes I assume.)

Three times in a row (the first unintentionally), I had this popup event do an immediate forced refresh of the page on OK, with no confirmation of navigating away as normally expected. Boom, gone, back to view mode. Normally when deliberately refreshing or navigating away there is first the browser's alert, followed by the wiki's alert, but neither popped in this case.

Then I tried another four times, causing the dupe alert the same way, and different ways (other objects and tabs), and could not get the refresh to trigger again.

Chrome is getting pretty weird lately... :/

@akyho: Solid logic. I'm calling it the Alexitard icon now. :) (I don't ever use that last syllable in an insulting way to anyone.)

@pandorasbox: That's very considerate, but there are probably a hundred other things both online and offline that will serve as a reminder, ahead of a tiny seldom-seen sprite.

It looks like Bat was created with a reasonable sentiment in mind: featuring iconic TF2 weaponry. Since this issue applies to other objects such as Fire Axe, we probably need a ruling....

It has started to creep out of control, as things often do when people attach "close enough" relateds to game pages when a generic name and thumbnail is their top result. I can't believe the Scout bat itself is making cameos in non-Valve games. :)

At a minimum the non-TF2 games should be migrated over to Baseball Bat or whichever object variant is appropriate. Most drastically the entire small page could be merged into the already-present TF2 heading on the Baseball Bat page, Weaponry section on TF2 game page, etc. But that would probably need to be applied across the board for all generic TF2 weapons. No small order! But neither is keeping two seperate object pages clean.

I think "Scavenging" should exist in the search box somehow, and an alias for Loot Gathering makes sense.

Edit: cool thx.

@pyromagnestir: "Scrawl". For reference, Skrillex writes in Skrall. ;)

I learned handwriting much better than I learned printing. Printing in lower case is nearly impossible for me at any reasonable speed, so I'm a Sᴍᴀʟʟᴄᴀᴘs kind of guy. But it's much slower than my cursive.

@kakkles: It has the same Executioner ship, so my guess is yes. There's also the Amarr Explorer, which comes with a Magnate. Different vendors online seem to have different / older collections of kits. But nothing you can't earn for yourself in game.

Because nobody asked for it... see?

Even so, I'm really enjoying this charming little freeper game, which thus far has no real need to spend money on it, so that's a plus. Give 'er a try, myah. My game name is "Bracky Bricks". Friends list is under the "+" More menu. Use Add.

The game pulls from real locations, rather than giving you a custom Cartel name. Progress through the tutorials until it introduces Cartels, then go into the Cartel search and type "Human" which should be enough to come up with the result "Human Computer Interaction Lab". Not very mafia-like, but certainly video-gamey enough for me. :)

(If anyone who plays has access to a physical location more GB-sounding , it's ok to move over before too many upgrades get built.)

The writing is quite funny. I requested that Vinny do a QL when Ryan got back from wedding vacation, because they would do such awesome voices for the dialogue. But who knows now... :(

To end on a really positive note, it's one of very few games with consumable cannolis. :) Pixel pastries best pastries.

Edit: I <3 @zombiepie so goddamn much.

I will buy you a copy of something better myself if I need to. Paint Shop Pro... Kai's Power Tools... ACDSee... anything... O_o It's for your health. Don't skimp.
