The Bridge

...Huh, indeed.

It was this huge narrative block, but I didn't really get what it was trying to accomplish. Apparently in part because it was on the wrong question...

"Oh, my answer is for another question. Will put it there, sorry!"

Q: Do the minor conflict decisions on the Citadel have any major impacts?

Lots of people are used to forums where you (stupidly) can not always delete posts

FAE

THERE'S that dupe I was looking for the other day.

Though the more recent one has a better answer I think

3

Running around on the Citadel, I have noticed minor conflicts that arise where you can side with one of 2 people. After siding with them, I have noticed in the corner of the screen "War Asset Updated!" The question lies in that, are there any of these that have a major impact on the war asset...

Q: What are the bonuses for supporting civilians on the Citadel in Mass Effect 3?

6

After the Priority Palaven mission, I returned to the Citadel to soak up bonus missions and assets. Trouble is, I have no idea what I need to do regarding the many "Civilian Arguments". An example would be a situation where a family man is trying to get his docked shuttle permission to deliver...

7:12 PM

It's a common situation where one's a different question that's just yes/no and the latter asks for more info

I wouldn't call it an exact dupe, but if we consider it a dupe the latter is definitely the better Q to make the "source"

@Sterno Yay! I love upvotes!

I just started playing All My Enemies on my android, is there any way to destroy asteroids? It seems that my shots pass through them but sometimes the screen gets pretty crowded. There must be a way to break them up.

@RonanForman what is this i don't even

@Lazers I wish I didn't waste my squishy question...

@OrigamiRobot I'm sitting here trying to think of a good question... And I have none. =(

I don't even want an ATI card.

@Tristan I have a couple Vayne questions.

@OrigamiRobot I know one is about tumbling.

Blem

7:41 PM

i just need anyquestion, hoping for some riot points

@Tristan Shush!

I wanna test the Lulu/Caitlyn Pix question, but I own neither champion.

@Tristan I have one...

There should be a way to post joint answers.

@OrigamiRobot Well if you wanna buy me the Riot Points to get Lulu, we can test it. Otherwise, I got nothin'. =P

wtf

Why would I look at xbox support to see why I "can't play" a music file from my hard drive

7:43 PM

@badp Why not?

@badp Context?

@badp Zune?

I take it that's not a screenshot from an XBox.

Windows 8's Music app.

7:45 PM

@badp good old 0xc00d11cd

@badp Even better...

@badp App?

Widows 8 has "apps"?

@JuanManuel Nice to see they haven't removed the "obscureError()" function from Windows

Duh.

@badp I would VTC as off-topic on xbox.com/support

7:46 PM

@OrigamiRobot Foiled! This is chat. There is no topic. Also no spoon.

I have a spoon

@JuanManuel Is it here?

In chat?

Yes, yes it is

next question?

Oh, so Fabian's your spoon?

He just came in, I assume that's why.

My spoon!

In your face @badp

@JuanManuel That's a picture of a spoon.

7:49 PM

@badp it's not, it's a real spoon

Can you prove it's just a picture?

@Tristan Yep. Or I'm one removed downvote from a TV :-)

@Stephen Well, your squadmate's outfits question just got its 5th vote.

Q: When given a choice of which squad mate to send to perform a task, is there a risk?

It looks to me that, when I am presented with a choice between two squad mates to perform some task, the primary decision factoring in here is that I won't have their weapons and abilities available for the upcoming wave/waves. Is this an accurate interpretation, or are there other effects tha...

Q: Is [java] a good tag?

I noticed java due to a recent suggested edit. It appears to be used with Minecraft questions to mean "I run a command involving either java.exe or javaw.exe at some point". Is this useful? IMO, it doesn't create a useful category. It's also pretty unintuitive — we don't deal with Java ...

@JuanManuel See Tristan's message... darn I must learn to the the one box thing

@EBongo, when did you show up here?

just noticed you there...

Suddenly Windows has decided I need to encrypt ALL the things.

Woo! It just updated with Fleet Admiral! Thank you all so much, I did not think it was possible to do it.

@Stephen le grats

@Stephen congrats

7:56 PM

Who won the bet on whether SE would give away all 10 TVs? :-)

@Stephen There's still 1 left, I believe.

where's @ravendreamer?

@Stephen Beware, every time I got close I ended up smacked with some serial upvote reversals. People can be too helpful :)

@Tristan You're right, I can't count past 35

@Tristan or to 10

@Sterno True enough ... How many times did you hit FA? 3? 4?

4

8:00 PM

Apparently all I need are shares and I'll get the headphones. But I want that damn messenger bag.

Plus another serial upvote spree about 3 hours after they'd already emailed me. Someone was vote happy

@Tristan ha, I had the same conundrum

btw, what are the graphic requirements of Diablo 3 like?

user30

hmph

user30

Want to get a MSP430 launchpad.

8:00 PM

specially since the headphones will probably be stuck in customs and never reach my hands

user30

They were in stock 2 days ago. Now I have to wait until April 10th.

and why did Steam just update Dungeons Defenders?

@Tristan Are you on any other forums? I know my friends at diecastcrazy.com helped me out by visiting the site

@Stephen Nope. But it's fine. I have the requirements for the messenger bag. So I don't want any more shares. =P

@badp Because it gets updated every hour, it seems...

Die. DIE. GO AWAY.

8:02 PM

It's worse than Team Fortress 2

@Tristan I don't even own the damn thing.

@badp Oh. Well... O.o

I had to bust it in the Uninstall panel.

@Tristan I'm pretty sure they'll let you choose a lesser prize

How does multiplayer work in this thing?

store.steampowered.com/app/35130

8:04 PM

@Sterno Probably. But... What they won't let me do is ask for a $37 prize that isn't listed in place of a $80 prize. >.>

Oh

My bad :)

@Tristan :-)

@badp Blizzard is usually pretty good at scaling down for low-end systems, but I don't know the exact specifics.

Official D3 Requirements

Cuz if I had it my way, I'd ask for Fraps instead of the messenger bag... o.o

@Tristan You never know. They might do it anyway.

8:05 PM

@StrixVaria eh, how do you compare "7800 GT" and "9200 GS"?

@Sterno, YOU CAN HAZ HUGZ

@agent86 I FEEL SO WARM

"Clearly mine is good enough! The number is higher!"

Portali5t

@RavenDreamer yeah, but it's likely since the director of the mass effect series said it himslef

@JuanManuel Pretty sure it's just you and a friend playing Tomb Raider together. It's gotten pretty solid reviews though...

8:06 PM

Wow... x1950 for min reqs is pretty easy to achieve.

@badp shrug

user30

@badp You need a better laptop. Clearly.

I don't keep current with video card number stuff.

@Tristan but all the ones I played were strictly single player

I wasn't thinking about laptops though ... i suppose they could have a problem

8:06 PM

I just research it when I want to buy a new one.

since the original (<-- awesome game)

@Tristan I asked for a substitute prize, and was told I had to pick something off the page. thus, the PS3.

user30

7800 is very, very old, though.

@StrixVaria -1, I want in on some of this challenge stuff but I don't want to waste SE's money into a game I can't run.

@badp I don't know the answer, but someone else might.

8:07 PM

@agent86 You should've picked the xbox... and then sent it to me. =D

user30

Yeah, as I thought. Between 5-6 years old. Unfortunately for you, it's still probably better than your 9200GS.

But yeah, I'll just settle for the messenger bag.

@JuanManuel Just watching the videos on it, it looks like it plays a lot like dual-joystick shooters... O.o

@badp Why the hell doesn't AMD list Ghz anyway?

@agent86 Sell TV. Buy substitute prize

That's what I did with the Vita

Speaking of which

@RavenDreamer Grats on the LoL contest

@Tristan if anybody gets it, I have it and haven't tried multiplayer (or single player...) and would gladly play sometime

8:10 PM

@Sterno eh, that's work. this is a prize, it's supposed to be the opposite of work :P

besides which, I won when they sent me a copy of ME3 :D

Hey, here I am poking my nose into every corner of the galaxy looking for ship models and all I needed was ebay ... ebay.ca/itm/MASS-EFFECT-SSV-NORMANDY-SHIP-REPLICA-NEW-BOXED-/…

Blog - Stack Exchange: Welcome Stack Overflow Valued Associate #00002

Jeff Atwood on January 05, 2009

I am pleased to announce that Stack Overflow just added another team member in an officially paid capacity: Jarrod Dixon.

Jarrod and I met on the job in 2002, and became fast friends. Here was the rare programmer who loved to code every bit as much as I did. It was our calling, and we recognized that in each other almost immediately.

I wasn’t sure exactly why we got along so well, until we went to one of those corporate teambuilding events that Paul Graham loves so much. During the event, the moderator had everyone go to a corner of the room, depending on whether you were.. …

Huh, we're back to having 0 generals

he's the guy who wrote Stack Overflow :)

Psh. I'm a worthless plebian. I know nothing about people of import.

@Jin I always imagined Jeff to be constantly frowning sternly

that looked like a chicken sitting on a red stool with two detached legs

@james...what?

A picture I got on draw something

I ended up starting to guess out of the letters I had.. I put in Lisa as a joke and it was correct

Wish there was a way to go back and take a picture of a drawing

I am pretty sure it was from @Tristan...

But I would -really- like that one explained!! :)

Q: Is there any time limit on Assists?

0

I've noticed that after I die in a round, when I'm revived I'll get the assists I earned while I was dead. Sometimes I get several. Is there any time limit after which I lose "assist" status, or if I deal 50 XP's worth of damage to a target, will I ALWAYS get that XP once the target dies?

Q: Why are some weapon fusions blocked out with a question mark?

league-of-legends dota-2

Makes sense, I think a fair amount of people played LoL because they were bored of playing the original DotA for years

9:46 PM

@James pff no your not ;)

@Resorath I am starting to think the contests have people sitting around going 'Now, I have question about game X, but if I ask it in relation to game Y I can get in on the drawing!' :D

@James The spirit of that question was for me wondering if I should wait for DotA2 and invest time in that. league of legends has so many veterans its hard to get started

Although that question is too subjective for this site

@Resorath I honestly just mostly play against the bots which are fairly decent.. pretty much guaranteed to win, but the games are still fun :)

(LoL)

@James bots are never fun in my opinion. i only play single player story driven games, the rest, real people

@Resorath Then no matter what happens there will always be veterans and you will have a hard time getting started, so why bother waiting? :) Has Valve even announced when Dota2 will be released to the public?

9:50 PM

@James I was a "veteran" at the original dota, it was just hard to keep up with the gameplay, items and hero changes between the two games. Fresh start = equal playing field. and i dont think so

(disclaimer: veteran = old, not good)

@Resorath how does that make it hard to get started then??? I guess I do not understand

Rapida

@Resorath I play a lot of league, but I started late. It isn't that bad of a learning curve if you already bring MOBA experience.

I started with no MOBA and that was rough

@BenBrocka You are looking at the two "pixels" of reflection, right?

The major difference between DOTA and HON vs LoL (From what I am told I have not played 1 or HON) is that you use your abilities a lot more often in LoL :)

But Ive no idea at all about Dota 2

wait whats wrong with our heart?

9:51 PM

Nothing really.

@Resorath The top edge doesnt match the bottom edge

@Resorath just let it go ;)

It's not meant to be pixel perfect.
