Q: League of Legends ELO Hell

RailOcelotWhat are the different ways to boost ELO in LoL? It seems like when you lose 5~7 games in a row there is no way to get a decent team to play with. Thus leading you to loosing more and more. 1) How do you get in to winning streak in solo queue 2) Is there a Ranked champions I should watch out fo...

Q: How long is the "temporary" account ban from bungie/Halo Reach?

jon3lazeNeither my friend or I have ever been banned. We got the message on his console that both of our accounts, as well as the console, had been banned from earning credits. It pointed us to view the information at www.bungie.net/ban Bungie's website is very vague about the ban durations. The dur...

Q: What should my target push time be during a 3 Rax Stim build?

ManaWhen reading through this question, one part of tzenes' answer describing the 4Gate build caught my attention in particular: This Attack should be at about 6:00 minutes into the game. More than likely your first attack will not come at the 6 minute mark, but at the 7:30-8, and this...

Q: Swirling Dust Clouds in Caverns

RapidaAre the chances to recover items from the dust swirls the same for all the items(particularly the type gems)? And does the chances of what you receive/encounter from the dust depend on the cavern the dust is found in?

 
6:38 AM
I have been owned, and I didn't even realize it. Well done Mark Trapp.
Yet... if I wasn't annoyed by it, why would I ask about it?
I'll try and rephrase the question.
I just wish I could name maps better than "the one with red armor in the middle, lava grenade launcher and teleporter on the bottom, mega in an alcove and three yellow armors around"

Q: How long to beat Disgaea?

MPelletierI'm wondering if I've got the right strategy at all. There seems to be an awful lot of (admittedly fun) grinding and no visible end in sight to get to complete the story. How long, rough average, in hours, does it take to beat Disgaea?

In our continuing effort to allow awesome developers to demonstrate their …awesomeness… we’ve added the ability to include your GitHub projects on your Careers 2.0 profile.

The feature is inspired by a sentiment widely shared among developers and employers: show me. As John Resig put it:

The process is easy. Head over to your Careers 2.0 profile, and look for the cute little GitHub guy:

…and two clicks later, your GitHub awesome becomes part of your Careers 2.0 awesome – complete with language tags and time span. We give you the opportunity to explain your work, too. …

Q: Is this a game?

JT703Fellow gamers, A couple weeks ago I came across a new website that is very unique (http://wethepixels.com). I’m not sure if it’s a game or just a fun activity/challenge. There really isn’t a way to objectively “win”, but it sometimes fells like a game to me. I’m not asking this to discuss the...

 
It's weird reading Wikipedia pages about things that your employer is responsible for.
The legislature of the State of Michigan enacted Public Act 425 of 1984 which is also known by the title Intergovernmental Conditional Transfer Of Property By Contract Act. It became effective March 29, 1985 and was subsequently amended in 1998. It is often simply referred to as “Act 425” and contractual agreements entered into pursuant to this statute are frequently called “425 Agreements.” The purpose of Act 425 is to provide for a means for two local units of government to share tax revenues resulting from new or expanding development in the areas of their jurisdiction. Most typically a...

-9 is SIG_KILL on most systems.
 
(after the Japanese "piss off")
@Powerlord oh really
 
8:07 PM
Although... SIGKILL is... only tenuously a signal, since the program never receives it.
The OS sees a SIGKILL and just kills the process without any notification to it.
 
how novel.
:)
 
Of course, SIGBACON does even more than that... it turns the OS into a Terminator, which kills the user immediately. Then tries to find and kill John and Sarah Connor.
 
What if the user is Jon Skeet?
 
@failbadp Silly person, Jon Skeet is John Connor!
 
@Bob Alright, I'm sure we can salvage this somehow.
 
8:18 PM
ARGH! Someone poisoned my brain. I have Rebecca Black singing "Friday" stuck in my head. :/
 
Thinking of replacing the whole question with "What is the difference between a game and a fun activity or challenge when there isn't a way to objectively "win"?"
but it needs a bit more.
 
@Brant It's honestly a game design question. I'm seeing if we can hand it off to Gamedev.
 
Ah, didn't think of that.
 
Certainly it's not spam. The user was very upfront about his affiliation
 
Yeah, after he was called out in the comments. Check the diff from revision 1 to revision 2
Hmm, I think that edit was too severe.
I probably hit save too soon
 
8:31 PM
@Brant Grace praised it actually
@Brant Yeah, I didn't notice, yet now the spam problem's been addressed.
 
Grace praised what in the where now?
 
still @Brant the game does have some sort of victory condition
the subject is decided before the drawing happens
you can't lose but you definitely can not win
 
hmm, my current reputation is 1337. i have a hard time wanting to do anything to change that
 
@espais It's okay, you told us about it
goes find a post to upvote
 
lol
 
8:36 PM
Fixed!
 
You beat me to it!
but I can recalc his rep and see if I can get it back to 1337, and then move him away from there!
 
lol
instead rep whoring!
 
8:55 PM
@espais I'm not a whore, I'm just... reputation friendly.
So, if I were to take TF2 screenshots of different all-class hats, should I post them all so it's obvious that I have them, or should I vary the classes a bit?
 
@Powerlord bragging-rec?
 
@failbadp Blogging. :P
 
> @JT703 This is still subjective. You can't get a definitive answer by soliciting opinions. From the FAQ: "What kind of questions should I not ask here? You should only ask practical, answerable questions based on actual problems that you face. Chatty, open-ended questions diminish the usefulness of our site and push other questions off the front page ... avoid asking subjective questions where ... every answer is equally valid." – Matthew Read 20 mins ago

Q: What is the proper time zone to display times for events online?

JT703My website (http://wethepixels.com) has regularly user-scheduled events. Right now we are using our timezone EDT (or EST) as the base timezone for all events on the site. I feel like this is either 1) wrong, or 2) very confusing. Currently, we have users all over the US and Europe. Is the prop...

 
That portal flash mappack thing is annoying :|
@Feeds oh lookie :)
 
10:20 PM
Hah, I've got a "moral reopen vote" from Programmers mod Anna Lear :P
who's been doing the good/bad subjective stuff for a whole lot longer than we have
Obviously that doesn't count because the good points about my previous revision of my question remain there at +12 despite my edit. Ah well!
I'll open a generic question about subjective stuff.
...yet if I push the envelope it'll sound like a whine about my question, that's not what I'm worried at all
I'm worried about the issue in general
 
@Feeds @failbadp: I think US users are less confused by UTC than you think
I can't comment about European users, though
 
@Powerlord So they're going to know without fail that EDT is -4?
Without going "oh, right, DST, so it's not -5 I should've used"
 
@failbadp I wish I could say without fail, but some people are dumb.
 
@Powerlord Yeah, well :)
I'm not being flattering of Europeans as well.
 
The best option is to display it in the user's timezone, assuming your site has user accounts and lets them choose what time zone they're in. (Hint, @JeffAtwood, hint)
 
10:31 PM
Truth is, DST is confusing. If one can hide as much of the confusion as possible, all the best
 
I'd love to eliminate DST, but that's not up to me.
 
@Powerlord as usual Jeff went for what's right on the paper. It must suck for you guys however.
 
Of course, it could be worse... Blizzard has WoW do server things at 4am server... despite what time zone the server is in.
 
Another reason for avoiding UTC is that some of those fancy new webservices don't handle it well/at all
 
So, if I'm playing on a server 3 hours behind me, at 7am my time daily quests reset.

fail badp"Real questions have answers, not ideas, items or opinions" is the only rule I've been looking at when moderating questions accused of being subjective.

11:12 PM
@failbadp don't worry. I'm back in chat now.
PSA: Never ask a feminist what she thinks (if you're a guy). I just did and as a result got called disrespectful and a potential rapist for forcing her to have a conversation with her and since I'm a man I cannot, by the first rule of gender construction, understand. Of course, it turns out that gender construction is essentially Kant and Nietszche on privilege with the word rich replaced by man and the word poor replaced by woman. Sigh. I have more to say but the message is too long.
 
@Mechko thats sticking your hand in the hornets nest... In the future, just avoid the topic all together
 
I don't think that's a sign of feminists so much as a sign of feminazis. :P Feminists are fairly reasonable people.
 
@Aardvark sigh. I honestly do want to understand because I cannot believe that every feminist is as horrible as the one who tried to beat me up in undergrad for (and this was her reason) "having a penis".
@FallenAngelEyes Can I meet some who don't think that I'm raping them by talking to them in a chat room? I have honest questions
 
A feminist is any person who believes in gender equality, so I think it's fair to say that most of the people in this room are feminists.
 
@Fallen feminazis are the ultimate poisonous discussion, even women who do not agree with their fanatic ideals get dismissed as 'brain-washed' and all men get dismissed as 'priviledged'
 
11:19 PM
@Aardvark Indeed. In general, it's always the vocal minority that makes the sane majority look bad.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Oh... I thought that was... well... just normal...
 
@Mechko To most of us, yep! In some countries for example though, not so much.
 
definitely, I'm for women's rights as much as anyone but with a feminazi it's just not worth even discussing it
 
wait... are you... a girl? runs to a safe distance?
 
lol
was 'runs to a safe distance?' a question?
you better decide quick!
 
11:21 PM
Haha
 
@Mechko there are people in the world that will try and dismiss you in any conversation, there are linux users who will dismiss you for being a windows user, pc gamers who can't comprehend that console users could have any skills, and sadly feminazi's who dismiss you for being a man.
Generally speaking anyone who attempts to dismiss you for any purpose won't fulfill any intelligent conversation, and the best option is just to avoid them

^imho
 
Sigh. I should start writing a blog about how EVERYONE is wrong except me.
and clearly the people who think that I'm right
but only on that one thought.
btw
is there an android app for stackchat?
Are my posts even showing? :( QQ ok 11 hours till paper deadline. I gotta go. :(
 
If you're attempting to dismiss people you're no different than the feminazi, just on a different side. In a world where right and wrong is a matter of perspective, I've found the best way to go through life is the ability to accept you're going to meet a lot of people that disagree with you. A good person will be okay with that
