@gracenote it should be noted that I have seen about a dozen answers that are word for word from the prima guide. I have not once done such a thing. (but now that I think of it, I will downvote them later.)

Grace Note

@LessPop_MoreFizz Like I said, you have self-respect.

Wipqozn

@GraceNote He does...?

err I mean yeah, @LessPopMoreFizz totally has self-respect!

This chat needs more tits:

and ass

Grace Note

You already did that!

Nick T

/me wonders if I should just delete the donkey and let it stand like that

Grace Note

I think it would be nice if you'd stop doing that manner of visual run.

Especially completely randomly.

Q: Who replaces Tali?

In my Mass Effect 2 So in 3 she is apparently a squad member, but of course I don't have her. Who is suppose to replace her in my squad?

mass-effect-3

Nick T

Prefer some pussy?

Grace Note

12:19 AM

No, I'd really prefer if you'd stop doing that.

Sigh, even 100 years in the future people are saying "GUI Interface"

Grace Note

Tell you what, you get people to stop saying "RPG Game", and I might help you stop people from saying GUI Interface.

Nick T

@BenBrocka from what

Ben Brocka

I've never heard anyone ever say "RPG Game"

@NickT 100 years in the future as in Mass Effect 3

Grace Note

@BenBrocka You are lucky.

Nick T

What, did you make your char a UX expert?

7th class

Ben Brocka

No, it was my genius comm officer

I just hope she made that GUI Interface in Visual Basic

Nick T

Start a petition, I hear BioWare loves those

Ben Brocka

gotta track that IP protocol address

Grace Note

@BenBrocka Pffthahahaha

Xenoblade Chronicles comes out soon. I hear it's a fairly good RPG game.

Grace Note

I will end you three ways to Thursday.

Wipqozn

Oh finally, it got through. It kept timing out. Scumbag internet.

Nick T

Does that TV that you can win have an LCD display?

Grace Note

It's an "LCD HDTV", so I would hope so.

Nick T

wiff

Grace Note

12:40 AM

If it helps, I never actually bothered to learn what "LCD" stands for.

So I assumed it was "Liquid Crystal Diode"

Nick T

not quite

Ben Brocka

liquid diodes? THat'd be a new one on me

Nick T

sounds like what the lecture I went to today was about

Inward-rectifier potassium ion channel

Inwardly rectifying potassium channels (Kir, IRK) are a specific subset of potassium selective ion channels. To date, seven subfamilies have been identified in various mammalian cell types. They are the targets of multiple toxins, and malfunction of the channels has been implicated in several diseases. Overview of inward rectification A channel that is "inwardly-rectifying" is one that passes current (positive charge) more easily in the inward direction (into the cell). It is thought that this current may play an important role in regulating neuronal activity, by helping to establish th...

@ArdaXi You make me proud to have casted that 10th vote.

You're welcome.

Sterno

1:10 AM

Wow. I'm way behind on total ME3 answers

Ben Brocka

wow, I really don't like quarians anymore

Tim Stone

@Sterno 41 (you) > 27 (me), heh

@BenBrocka Why's that?

Ben Brocka

certain events

Sterno

Oh, that's questions and answers. Yeah, I'm doing well on questions.

Tim Stone

Oh, right, duh.

Sterno

1:13 AM

I need to get that 20th one in so that I can get a badge and feel special.

Tim Stone

@BenBrocka Ah..saw something that changed your mind?

I'm still a number of up votes short for the bronze, unfortunately. Wonder if I have any existing answers that can be beefed up..

Sterno

@ktash still need that file?

Ben Brocka

well I didn't really take sides, but now I see things quite differently

Tim Stone

Indeed.

Ben Brocka

I also see why siding with the Geth is always a Paragon choice...

agent86

1:21 AM

where's that weapon spreadsheet?

Tim Stone

This one?

Ben Brocka

do I get that geth plasma shotgun at some point?

Shotguns and plasma are two of my favorite ways to kill things

agent86

@TimStone yep. thanks

Sterno

I realize I probably should have asked this before editing like 8 questions today, but

Ronan Forman

Okay I'm uploading 2 mass effect videos. Have fun! Night.

Ben Brocka

1:23 AM

@TimStone oh right, I suppose that's one way to confirm it

Sterno

Is it okay to edit questions just to turn the question titles into actual questions?

Example: Changing "Turn off motion blur" to "How can I turn off motion blur?"

agent86

@Sterno this is fine, imho. I also hate it when people start questions with "How to" that don't make grammatical sense

"How to turn off motion blur?"

Ben Brocka

@Sterno depends, sometimes a question title can be fine without being a question, especially if it makes it considerably more convince

Q: Would the Stack Exchange network be better if titles contained complete, grammatical questions?

We have had quite a few discussions here in the past of whether titles should be phrased as complete questions. For example: Should question titles be phrased as questions? (A straw poll) What's in a Title (line)? How can we get more people to make their title a question? Our guidance is a li...

Ben Brocka

Yeah, "how to do it" bugs the crap out of me

Tim Stone

1:26 AM

(for some opinions and such)

Sterno

@TimStone I really need to get in the habit of looking there first!

Ben Brocka

wat. Tali just said something implying we're NOT using translators

Tim Stone

@Sterno Asking me is usually faster than searching on Meta anyway. :P

Raven Dreamer

I should probably start buying food again.

Tim Stone

@BenBrocka Wait, what's that?

Ben Brocka

1:28 AM

Tim Stone is basically Legion

@TimStone she says a phrase in Quarian and says "I guess the best way to translate it is..."

Tim Stone

Oh, right.

user2334

Tim Stone is forever?

Ben Brocka

so there's clearly not a translator going on in that case, but maybe TAli simply speaks english

@MarkTrapp pretty much

Tim Stone

Well, it's more that it doesn't directly translate, I think.

Sterno

@BenBrocka That's like the old Star Trek problem where you've got Klingon words for things, even though theoretically the translator would have just translated them.

Ben Brocka

1:29 AM

I also think he might be 1028 Geth in one shell as well

Raven Dreamer

@BenBrocka Translator is one thing, idioms are another.

Keelah Selai is never translated.

Ben Brocka

I guess maybe it involves proper nouns

Raven Dreamer

hence, "I suppose the best way to translate it would be"

Ben Brocka

You'd think the translator would understand the idiom and just translate it then though

Tim Stone

@MarkTrapp I prefer timeless, personally.

Speaking of time...I should probably get something done today before it gets too late.

Raven Dreamer

1:34 AM

@BenBrocka There's probably a "do not translate this setting", like how English uses other language phrases anyway

Ben Brocka

oh hey, I can freeze Geth

Sterno

Man, are Joel and Jeff always on opposite sides of every controversial meta issue? :P

Ben Brocka

they really are

Raven Dreamer

@BenBrocka you can chill everything. awesome upgrade in this game

Q: How do I properly disc jump?

One of the core gameplay elements in the Tribes series is trading health for speed by disc jumping. I seem to be having trouble pulling this off though -- I've tried shooting straight down as I come off a hill, as well as turning around and shooting slightly behind me, but I always end up losing ...
