Alternative listening for today:
 
Hey guys, so I need Diablo help for a Demon Hunter. Any takers?

@spugsley +1, I'm not sure what I imagine your voice sounds like, but this sure is funny.
 
12:22 AM
goddamn you bounty waiting period
 
12:32 AM
@spugsley Will you transfer over your legendary-finding luck as payment?
 
@TimStone not a chance :p
 
I see...
 
Holy fuck @TimStone as soon as you said that, I found a fucking legendary
I love my life
 
LIES
 
Legendary Spirit Stone

Q: How do I make flour and bread?

UQAllullooI found this game, Farm and Grow. I researched grain, but it's not edible so my wife and I died. I assume that you can grind it into flour and make bread. How?

Q: What is a bonjwa?

ayckosterI heard the term bonjwa used in the context of "Boxer is a bonjwa". What is a bonjwa and does it give any privileges to be a bonjwa? How can I become a bonjwa?

 
Man...I was going to come home and write code, but now I'm thinking about going on a run. Haven't had much time to play recently...
 
12:41 AM
@TimStone you should definitely do a quick run. Just the crypts and butcher...won't take you more than 1ish :)
 
@TimStone How far do you usually run?
 
@UQAllulloo There ya go, sir!
 
Also, I'm a terrible influence
 
@spugsley Oh. I thought he meant he was going out jogging.
Silly me.
 
@GnomeSlice No, but I should consider that too. :P
@spugsley The worst
 
12:42 AM
@TimStone No big deal. You can blame @Wipqozn. It'll make you feel better.
 
@Fluttershy O_o Did you start playing that after I asked that?
 
@UQAllulloo Yessir I did.
 
@Fluttershy You're apparently way better at it than I am then...
 
@UQAllulloo I lost five family members and was at like... 9 health. >_>
 
@Fluttershy I've lost 11...
 
12:44 AM
Family be damned! I wanted to answer!
 
Aaaaaaand everyone's dead.

Dying family members... what...?

Q: Is it worth it to let trees grow taller?

UQAllullooI just noticed that, in Farm and Grow, trees will continue to grow if you don't chop them down as soon as they're ready. Is it worth it to let them grow taller or should I cut them down as soon as possible? Are there more stages that could be worth it?

 
@MarkTrapp wat
 
user2334
@LessPop_MoreFizz You're raging about GateKeeper, so turn it off
 
@MarkTrapp I don't think we are talking about the same gatekeeper
I am talking about TSW's gating mechanism for Nightmare modes.
 
user2334
1:14 AM
I'M TALKING ABOUT THE SAME GATEKEEPER YOU DON'T OWN ME YOU CAN'T TELL ME HOW TO FEEL
 
You have to defeat a solo boss that tests your ability to tank, heal, or dps competently in a real group
 
user2334
oh, no we are not
 
user2334
I'm referring to the GateKeeper in Mountain Lion, which by default prevents unsigned applications from running
 
@MarkTrapp Yeah, no i am not talking about that gatekeeper
 
user2334
1:34 AM
Need the Keymaster.
 
@UQAllulloo I think my answer to your tree question answers everything. If it does not, please let me know.
 
@MarkTrapp Wow, you can't even be polite without offending someone
 
user2334
I think I have to retract everything I said about "nice comments work wonders". Be an ass, it works wonders!
 
@MarkTrapp Don't feel too down-hearted, at least it's mostly mild passive-aggressiveness, and not out-right insulting.
 
1:41 AM
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay gatekeeper down.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz :toot:
 
@MarkTrapp Funnily enough, the achievement for defeating the gatekeeper is called Zuul.
 
It's a thursday evening and I'm watching a guy speedrun FF:MQ. Welp.
 
FAE
@LessPop_MoreFizz Nice
 
This is what the DPS version of the fight looks like, FYI
the part where he turns all red and glowy you need to have a purge on your bar and usable, which was my problem as the only purge I had access to wasn't really 'on demand' and was kinda rng and slow to cast. :(
 
1:48 AM
I feel like playing Civ V, someone pick a non-Domination victory type and I'll go after it
 
FAE

@FAE So it is

Q: Why does my weapon switch to non-automatic in Battlefield 3?

jmlumpkinI don't know if I am accidentally hitting a button and not knowing it, missing a feature that I didn't read about, or keep hitting a bug that hasn't been fixed - but my guns sometimes are no longer automatic. I am still rather new, and these are using whatever the default guns are for each class...

 
Wow, Russia beat me to a pantheon?
And William is being a jerk and is Hostile. Welp, guess I should build some archers

Ryan MoodyOn Windows I always use the default sensitivity with mouse acceleration disabled. I use the DPI on my mouse to adjust the sensitivity.

@spugsley I wasn't even close to finding all of them.
@spugsley This, however, is a lot closer.

@spugsley To be fair, you're not always punching babies. Sometimes you're eating them too.
 
@Sterno holy shit fuck that's a lot of baby punching
 
2:46 AM
I'm trying to insert a link in one of my questions that contains a colon in it
But it URL encodes the colon, breaking the link.
Is there anything I can do about that?
 
@Koviko Try running it through bit.ly first? =\
Other than that, I'm not really sure.
 
@Fluttershy That worked. Thanks. :)
 
Gustavus isn't taking 21g for an embassy

"It's time the other leaders know the awful truth about you." Oh go be self-righteous elsewhere, William
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I wonder what their passwords were...
password123
 
@Koviko In my experience shared accounts like that tend to have weak passwords. :(
 
Hmm I can't delete my own post if it is closed? :(
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz In my experience, they always find a way to throw in a dollar sign. Nothing else, though.
pa$$word123
But yeah, they need something easy that everyone can remember.
 
I posted a question, it got closed as dup (yes I did search, but obviously not well enough) ... so I'd rather just nuke it off the site, but I get a message to wait for possible reopen
 
3:05 AM
@Alok don't just delete dupes. They are useful for people using different search terms
 
Only delete dupes if they're word for word identical
 
@murgatroid99 gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/79353/… - I couldn't find the linked question by searching for 'baron hp', but the answer does comprehensively cover my question ... so I am not sure if there is a good reason to keep that dup
 
or just really bad in their own right for some reason
@Alok That is a very good reason to keep the dupe
 
well its just really bad because I'm embarrassed not to find the original :(
 
In fact, that's basically the epitome of a good duplicate
@Alok Don't be. Duplicates are good.
 
3:07 AM
@Alok but that's the point. We want it so that people who searched the way you did will find the answers they are looking for
 
Taking suggestions on religion name and symbol
 
Hmm ok, if both of you say so - will leave that alone. I understand the argument, its just so tempting to do housecleaning lol, guess I'm too used to it here :D
 
@RilgonArcsinh Tralfamadorianism.
 
Jeff Atwood on November 15, 2010

As Stack Overflow grows — or any other Q&A site in the Stack Exchange network, really — there’s a natural pressure to discover and link duplicate questions. The more questions you have, the higher the possibility a given new question isn’t in fact a new question, but a duplicate of an older existing question. Because of this, we’ve continually enhanced the tools for finding, linking, and merging duplicate questions:

@RilgonArcsinh Church of the Invisible Pink Unicorn
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Which symbol? (I can get a list of them if you need)
 
3:09 AM
@RilgonArcsinh Well, noodles and Pastafarianism is taken ... what do you like more than pasta?
 
I usually go with "Arqadianism"
 
Also looks like @LessPop_MoreFizz's is one character too long, so I'm going with @Fluttershy's suggestion
 
Well, afk for a few mins - but anyone playing TSW, feel free to post hints on what I should try in the weekend trial
 
And the Sikhism symbol kinda looks like the logo but upside down, so going with that
 
@Alok Do Investigation missions.
 
3:12 AM
Oh this is Civ 5? what symbols are there??
Maybe the Hindu symbol (Om) and a religion name of Om Nom Nom ;)
 
Also, rule of thumb, if Illuminati, roll on Grim, if Dragon, roll on Leviathan, if Templar, roll on Huldra
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Thanks - and I heard factions are similar so there's no preferred starting place?
 
to get maximum op world buff bonuses from Fusang.
 
oh ty
 
@RilgonArcsinh Spaceology
 
3:14 AM
@Alok they have different costumes and slightly different storylines, but they're essentially interchangable, and outside of pvp you can group with anybody

Q: Why can't i connect to a minecraft LAN server?

JackerknifeMe and my sis are trying to make a server for us to play on together, we share the same IP, live in the same house, and our computers are in the same room as each other, but we are using different user names. when i try to log on, it gives me this error: "Failed to connect to the server Connectio...

 
PVP is basically the only thing that's server/faction based.
and since pvp provides world buffs, you should choose a server on which the faction you choose is dominant.
 
Well I expect to mostly do PvE and just learn the ropes over the weekend.
ooh interesting - how do I find which server has which faction dominant? Easy to see power distribution when signing up?
 
@Alok Right, but the thing is that control of pvp on your server gives you world buffs
@Alok I just told you if you scroll up
 
3:16 AM
Oh those are servers not towns, got it
I thought Grim, Leviathan etc. were starting towns >_>
 
@Alok No.

Q: How strict is Skyrim's 'Mage Armor' perk on the armor restriction?

user48998So I'm looking here at the Mage Armor perk, and it supposedly doubles Stoneflesh's effectiveness if 'not wearing armor.' I just picked up a mask called 'Morokei' that increases Magika regen 100%. Only problem, it's classified as light armor. Will this destroy the effects of Mage Armor?

 
Woohoo, just added Cathedrals and Religious Texts to Arqadianism :D
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Is that TSW? Looks boring...
 
@Koviko yeah, that's The Gatekeeper. It's just a little solo miniboss thing that you need to clear to qualify for nightmare modes.
@Koviko here, have a real boss fight:
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz When you are DPSing/Tanking/Healing, would you say it's more spammy than WoW or less?
Meaning how long you spam one skill.
 
@Koviko Less.
@Koviko Basically, combat in TSW works like this:
You have two weapons.
Each weapon has it's own pool of 'combo points'.
And you have builder and finisher abilities for each.
Builders build combo points for both weapons though
so, you basically have a 'default' rotation of 5x Builder - finisher 1 - finisher 2
but some finishers don't consume 5 cp's - some only consume 3.
and some builders sometimes give 2 points per cast.
and there are procs and other things depending on your build.
+ your various CD's etc.
 
3:52 AM
Ah, okay. That sounds a bit more interesting. The video looks like they are just spamming one thing and walking around.
 
So I just signed a DoF with the Huns
I guess I will not be getting down to business this game
 
But when I take the time to count out 5 attacks, I noticed their 6th attack always looks different.
 
@Koviko the animations for attacks aren't terribly great.
Also, that's a relatively low level dungeon and they aren't using particularly 'optimized' builds or anything in that video.
Which tend to be even less spammy
for instance, the build I run for DPS
I use a finisher that costs 3 resources, and one that consumes all and does the most damage with 5
in addition, I have a 30 second cd that hits incredibly hard
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Do they have DPS meters yet?
 
And the finisher that costs 3 resources, if I use it and run down to 0 (out of 5, so basically if I use it at exactly 3) I get a large damage buff.
@Koviko yes but they aren't great.
so, my 'rotation' for dps with that build
is builder x3 -> finisher 1 -> builder x2 -> finisher 2 -> builder x1 -> finisher 1 -> builder x3 -> finisher 1-> builder x 1 -> finisher 2 -> builder x 2-> finisher 1-> builder x 3-> finisher 1 and 2
with a 30 second cd and a 1 minute CD thrown in on CD, along with purging or stunning or interrupting and using gadget (think clicky trinkets from wow) on CD as needed.
 
3:56 AM
Does the game have races or factions?
 
@Koviko 3 factions, but they're only relevant in pvp. Anyone can group with anyone.
(Each faction also has a slightly different single player campaign/story with some different dialog and NPCs, and access to different 'deck costumes', which are basically cosmetic gear that you get for acquiring certain talents.)
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Speaking of, do they have a cash shop?
Like buying mounts, etc from WoW?
 
@Alok Oh, since you wanted faction choice advice, rule of thumb: Illuminati has the worst deck costumes, but the best NPC's and storyline. Templars have the worst NPC's and storyline, but the best deck costumes. Dragon splits the difference.
 
Spreading Arqadianism to Babylon
 
@Koviko Yes. Sells cosmetic gear, noncombat pets, fireworks, and titles

Q: Can the creepy ambience sounds be disabled?

KovikoIn Minecraft, when you are nearby a large unlit area (underground caves, dungeons, etc), you hear ambient sounds, many of which are very unsettling and all of which sound unnatural. These can be particularly nerve-wracking when playing alone on a multiplayer server and trying not to be found by e...

Q: How does religious pressure work in Civilization V?

gromHow is the religious pressure at a city calculated? I was fighting with another religion for religious control of a city state and was trying to make my religious pressure higher.

Q: Diablo 3 - Storm Armor and Diamond Skin?

cornjulioxI note that in each of the Armor skills in the Conjuration tree, it says that only one armor skill can be active at a time. Does Diamond Skin count as an Armor spell? Or can I trigger both Diamond Skin and, say Energy Armor or Ice Armor, at the same time?

Q: game-rec tag - four questions that need action

pixelSomething needs doing with game-rec - this tag is already marked clearly as off topic but has four questions against it that need some action taking against them. All four questions are only using the game-rec tag so removing this tag will result in four off topic questions against untagged.

Q: scouting tag - merge proposal

pixelWe have scouting which appears to relating to the tactic of scouting, although in this instance specifically to Starcraft 2 related questions. I do not believe we need an additional tag for this and I am of the opinion that it should be merged into starcraft-2 as part of the Arqade cleanup.

Q: tag sound-system - synonym request with audio

pixelI would suggest that sound-system needs burning, but instead can we create a synonym for sound-system with audio as there are questions in both audio and sound-system that only have that tag on it, creating a synonym results in no instances of untagged. audio already has the synonyms of 5.1 and ...

Q: spawning tag - merge request

I have retagged questions from the other games leaving the remaining questions using this tag as all Minecraft questions.

Q: tag headset - synonym request with audio

pixelI would suggest that headset needs a synonym with audio similar to the sound-system request here. audio already has the synonyms of 5.1 and sound so an additional for headset makes sense.

Q: tag joystick - merge request

pixelCan we merge joystick with controller? IMO they're basically the same thing and controller has the larger quantity of questions on it.

 
@MBraedley I find your timing ironic, considering what Lazer's just spammed
 
Yeah, I see that. None the less, I would hate to lose a member as awesome as you when you're relatively new to the site.

my choice atm is pay attention in meeting or spam arqade though, it's an easy choice

everybody in this office is being weird today
so many raised voices
 
It's Friday, what do you expect?
 
relaxation, these people are interrupting my skiving
 
That's why people invented in-ear headphones.
 
yeah but this place has a 'one ear' policy, and I can't stand having complete sound isolation for one ear
ie you can only use one earphone, so that you can still hear if you're called for something
 
That's one impractical policy ... We're doing creative work here (programming) and even my boss has either the choice of me wearing those if he'd like to talk with my co-workers nearby while I concentrate on work, letting me work from home office or using the conference rooms for discussions. :D
We also have fluffy balls in the offices if you want one of my collegue's attention ...

Q: Does Chen Stormstout appear in Mists of Pandaria?

dlanodChen Stormstout was (as far as I know) the only Pandaren known generally before this expansion. I remember the Lich King making plenty of cameos throughout levelling in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. Does Chen make any cameos while levelling in Mists?

 
@Wipqozn It's only my first real pass through the first 20 pages of tags
There are a bunch of more questionable ones
@MartinSojka many of the guys have adopted the unofficial policy of throwing things at me to get my attention, I don't like it
 
@pixel Well, you shouldn't throw things at people, not even fluffy balls. You should throw it such that it moves fast - but not too fast - through their peripheral vision, preferably a few times after bouncing off something. This activates their primitive reflexes and gets their attention way faster.
 
grr, my drobo isn't cooperating. No time to fix it now, off to work.
 
I agree
messing up my hair is also not a valid method of getting my attention
the current conversation is focusing on the 'youth of today' and how not ever seeing a Rocky movie makes you detrimental to society
 
11:15 AM
@pixel I've never seen a Rocky movie. Should I have?
 
I don't know, I've never seen a Rocky movie
 
You guys should be ashamed. Of course you should have seen at least one Rocky movie. This one:
The Rocky Horror Picture Show is the 1975 film adaptation of the British rock musical stageplay, The Rocky Horror Show, written by Richard O'Brien. The film is a parody of B-movie, science fiction and horror films of the late 1940s through early 1970s. Director Jim Sharman collaborated on the screenplay with O'Brien, who wrote both the book and lyrics for the stage. The film introduces Tim Curry and features Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick along with cast members from the original Kings Road production presented at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 1973. Still in limited release nea...
 
@MartinSojka I have seen that one
 
1975... rofl
 
Multiple times in fact
 
11:16 AM
nearly double my age
 
@pixel That film is worth watching
I'd recommend being very drunk to begin with though
 
I don't drink
 
It's...unique
@pixel Some other kind of recreational drug?
 
oh recreational drugs, I can do that
 
@pixel Perfect

@MartinSojka Mountain climber?
 
Well, not external ones at least.
Nah, just generally crazy.
 
I don't need drugs to be high, I'm always high, I need drugs to create focus in the mess that is my mind
 
@pixel Everyone loves a coffee
 
11:21 AM
not a huge fan of coffee either tbh, but I do occasionally drink some
 
@pixel I'm a huge fan. Love me a rocket-fuel strength espresso in the morning
 
@QAdley lol I can understand why, but coffee first thing in the morning would make me gag
 
@pixel I have a robust palette. Honey toast and treacle-like coffee - no problem.
 
11:39 AM
... you either mean "palate", or my grasp of English is way worse than I thought.
 
11:58 AM
@MartinSojka British spelling
I think?
Nope, just me being wrong. I do mean palate
 
My palette is also robust though.
@oraclecertifiedprofessional Saw this, wish I could get some to the UK for less than billions of dollars.
Although they use comic sans on their site, which is unforgivable.
 
@QAdley seems a bit steep
 
@oraclecertifiedprofessional Slight exaggeration.
 
not sure if skull-and-crossbones is a good food marketing strategy
 
12:01 PM
@oraclecertifiedprofessional Normal strong coffee has 100mg or so caffeine per cup. So theirs has 200mg? That's cute. When I really need to stay awake, I just swallow 1000mg caffeine tabs pure, without water.
 
no, it isn't
@MartinSojka amphetamines prevent sleep
just sayin'
 
@MartinSojka but then no stained teeth and breath that could cut through glass?
 
@pixel They're also illegal to possess in most of the world.
 
Legality, psssh

Q: How can I cancel a channel or cast that's already in progress?

LessPop_MoreFizzOne of the things I love about TSW's combat is how mobile it is - you can cast basically anything with a cast time on the move. One of the things I don't love is that sometimes, I'll be halfway through a cast that slows my movement speed, like Safety Off, and then there will be fire, and I will...

I will probably reactivate at some point in the future, but after my initial week long grinding session I got kinda bored
 
I'm still enjoying it, and will probably for a few more weeks as I poke at Nightmares. We'll see if the content update at the end of August is enough to keep me hooked.
 
@PatrickStalder Well, I haven't done many of the instances but TBH everybody I would play it with is in a different time zone to me
I enjoyed it but once I ran out of story I ran out of things to grind, and once I ran out of things to grind I might as well idle in a big city in that other MMO I pay monthly for
 
Yeah, the instances are what's keeping me playing now. They're quite good.
 
The combination of one month until MoP, me being required to grind through beta at some point soon, etc... I have other things I should be doing right now instead of Fusang for black marks

The Gatekeeper is one of the oldest unimplemented MMO Design ideas in the book, so I'm glad they did, and it really is quite clever.
 
oh?
 
@pixel Once you've cleared all 8 dungeons on elite, you need to defeat The Gatekeeper to access nightmare modes
it's a solo boss with healing, dps and tanking variants
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz How does a healer kill him? Heal him to death?
 
interesting
 
and the dps one, for instance, requires you to do 700 DPS while staying mobile, out of fire, purging buffs, and avoiding adds that chase you around.
@PatrickStalder a minion spawns who tanks him for you. You need to heal the tank.
Then in a later phase, he spams dots on you and the minion which you need to cleanse.
then in p3 another 'dps' minion spawns and you have to keep up both him and the tank
 
12:23 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yay, I have to get cleanse spells. GLORIOUS!
 
GLORIOUS
that was a worthy foe!
 
Could we find more Tanks like that?
 
@PatrickStalder There's one in deep blood that's more than adquate to the task
 
I have the first two weeks of MOP off work
they didn't want to give me the time off but I told them I wouldn't be here regardless
 
The tank one, a minion spawns who dps's te boss for you, you need to keep the boss from cleaving the dps dude, who likes to run around in circles like a spaz, dodge a frontal column AE, and interrupt a long cast.
 
12:25 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz sounds like they have DPS AI modelling down to a fine art
 
It's a nice way of ensuring that anyone doing Nightmares is capable of achieving certain minimums of non-idiocy.
 
'act like a spas'
=> sorted
'ok lets move onto the healer one'
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Does the dps jump like a maniac?
 
like, you can guarantee that just about anyone dpsing nightmares is able to spec for a purge. Which is important, because purges are required for nightmares.
 
not biased against people who choose to deal damage in any MMO ever
 
12:26 PM
@PatrickStalder No, he just circle strafes a lot.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz He's a n00b DPS. Tell him to l2p. :P
 
I ended up farming the ap to do the dps trial because the tank trial is bugged and unbeatable atm. :(
 
DPS needs at least 50 Jumps/min
 
Healing on Alysrazer with feathers
jumping and healing ftw
 
@PatrickStalder As a former world class Melee DPS Raider, I can endorse this statement.
 
12:27 PM
I actually refuse to heal on Alysrazer if I don't get a feather
 
I HELD RECORDS ON WOL.
 
grats
I got #1 world lich king 25 heroic
(in the middle of cataclysm)
;)
besides, rogue isn't a real class
 
@pixel Alysrazer = flying as heal and stealing rings from the dps in the air.
 
no no
 
Reason = need more haste.
 
12:29 PM
Most of my record parses were in ulduar because the 10 man ArP hear was so overpowered that I could get very overgeared relative to my 25 man team and save Dkp for only the most major upgrades.
 
Alysrazer = solo healing, and not standing behind meteors for firestorm
 
That was... Less effective in ToC/Icecrown. Plus I just had shittier drop luck.
 
I love doing 10 man Firelands now
1 healer 1 tank
 
But I had a bunch of top ranked parses on XT, Ignis, Mimiron, Algalon, Freya.
 
@pixel sounds like a massive challenge.
 
12:31 PM
Its Firelands, I solo heal rag hc
 
Fuck mages on Hodir though. Seriously.
 
only fight that needs 2 healers is baleroc and beth'tilac
and I'm pretty close to solo'ing baleroc
due to the amount of indirect heals a disc priest has

Q: When does Stacking save?

BrysonicWhen you exit Stacking, you receive a warning that unsaved progress will be lost. However, I've never seen any indication that the game has saved my progress. How do I know what will be saved and what will be lost when I exit the game?

Q: Should Mass Effect 3 be played with From Ashes or not?

ruberglyWhat is the intended order—play through the story of Mass Effect 3 and then play the From Ashes DLC, or begin the game with the From Ashes DLC from the start? With the nature of the squad member being such an important and critical plot point, it seems like his presence or absence would affect ...
