Q: Humble Bundle Closure Game: controls problem

Leonardo NicolasWhen I start the Closure game the character keeps moving to the left as if I was pressing the left key on the keyboard. When I try to change the controls configurations the game closes. Any advice?

@wipqozn my mom's washer makes a song that suspiciously sounds like the Zelda you found a treasure noise when the cycle is done.
 
My dishwasher plays a song when it's done. Then a light comes on to tell you that the dishes are clean.
Four minutes later, the light goes off, since, you know, that makes sense.
 
@AshleyNunn Your mother has an awesome washer.
 
user15026
@wipqozn I know, right? I love doing the laundry at her house for that reason.
 
user15026
@origamirobot that song is awesome and I like it.
 
12:25 AM
Oh man this game looks awesome.
 
@fbueckert you there?
 
@SaintWacko Somewhat. Working, but can spare a bit of attention.
 
@fbueckert I just discovered something amazing in Path of Exile
I found a Conversion Trap gem that, when triggered, temporarily converts an enemy to fight for my side
It works on Totems
 
@SaintWacko Sounds right.
Too bad totems can't move.
 
I just used it on a Vaal Totem and became invincible for 5 seconds :D
You don't understand, when it's converted, I get all the bonuses from it
 
12:32 AM
@SaintWacko Oh, it works on enemy totems.
 
@fbueckert Right
 
There's a Totem skill gem, that allows you to imbue it with whatever the attached skill is.
That's what I figured you were talking about.
 
So I can toss it on a Vaal totem and for the next 5 seconds, instead of the enemy being invincible, I am
 
@SaintWacko I would like to point out, I'm only level 22.
 
I can just charge in, and as long as I keep an eye on the time, I don't have to worry about health
 
12:33 AM
You're probably far ahead of me.
 
@fbueckert Ah, okay, you wouldn't have run into the best/worst totems yet, then
I just hit 30
 
wat
@LessPop_MoreFizz HowToBasic is making a surgery game?
 
@BenBrocka Are those...sniper bullets?
 
.50 BMG apparently. Though all the info I've found on it is the image, the caliber and the "lol look at this funny looking thing"
 
@BenBrocka I'd imagine that would have enough kick to fire the top part straight into your face.
 
12:47 AM
I'm sure it's meant to be held two handed. I'd still let someone else shoot it first though
I'm also not entirely sure how it's meant to be held
come to think of it, it's probably meant to be used with a stock. I'd hope anyway. Even so
 
That can't be real
 
Can't find good evidence of it. Here's someone firing what's supposed to be a .50 cal DE but the grip doesn't look quite so fat
Can't get a good look at it either though
There's only like that one picture of it, too

Q: Power Output on Damage Buffs and DoT Effects

Jonny BOn damage modifier, such as the Kog'Maw's Bio-Arcane Barrage or Kayle's Righteous Fury can the damage given by AP/AD be changed mid-effect? For example: Say I'm playing Kayle and I have 100 AP. I trigger Righteous Fury which does 60 plus an additional 40 damage from my AP. I had Guinsoo's Ragebl...

 
Man-colters.
 
12:58 AM
Yup. Man-colters. *shudder*
 
Mare-men. Definitely Mare-men
@OrigamiRobot That's my thought
Looks like a simple shoop
 
A 50 BMG round is 5.5" long. That's insanely impractical. Not to mention there's no way you'd be able to hold on to that.
Now a Desert Eagle does shoot a .50 caliber round, but that's .50 AE
@BenBrocka Yea, that's 50 AE.
 
@SaintWacko It looks plausible to me. If it is a shoop they did the scan lines well
 
@OrigamiRobot I've got a 50 BMG sitting on the shelf in my room, they really are huge
 
@SaintWacko How fancy you are.
 
1:12 AM
@OrigamiRobot What can I say, I like ammo
I don't have any guns, just the ammo :P
 
I have no desire to shoot a 50 caliber anything.
 
Yay, overtime complete!
Time for Path of Exile.
 
@fbueckert Mmmm delicious time and a half.
 
@fbueckert Catch up to me so we can party!
 
@OrigamiRobot Especially as mine is virtually unlimited; bossman just said, "Get it done."
 
1:13 AM
I don't get time and a half :(
I can work overtime, but it's at my normal rate.
 
@OrigamiRobot I do!
 
anyone knows anything about LOL going to recreate the Mac version??
 
Pretty sure I get billed out at time and a half to clients, too.
 
@fbueckert Oof, sucks for them.
 
@OrigamiRobot Indeed.

@BenBrocka Truth.

@BenBrocka I have a Mosin-Nagant for shoulder dislocation thank you very much. The 2nd shot relocates it.

Q: How can I change my name in TF2 without having to change it in the Steam overlay?

jmfsgApparently, they removed the command setinfo name "your name" and it doesn't do anything anymore. Is there another way to change your TF2 while in-game?

Q: Is resource trading in Endless Space a flat fee or a per-turn thing?

rsegalIn Endless Space, Dust can be traded on a per turn and one time basis. It's never explicitly stated which of those resource trading is. On a related note, what is your strategic reserve of a resource? Is it a supply that fills up? Is it a throughput rate?

 
But vampires have always been lame.
 
That has to be the most awesome thing I've seen all day. Thank you for drastically improving my Monday.
 
@Coronus Don't thank me! Thank @FAE. She's the one who sent it to me.
@OrigamiRobot Also, you totally are.
 
@Fluttershy Says you.
 
1:44 AM
@Fluttershy Oh, I'll be sure to. I love sardonic Twilight jokes.
 
@OrigamiRobot If liking you makes me wrong, I don't wanna be right.
(cc @FAE)
 
You are only interested in my chassis.
 
FAE
@Fluttershy Teehee.

@murgatroid99 He's talking about the gun, I presume. I did reverse Google Image search the I Want to be a Millionaire image, and it seemed authentic. Surprisingly there's no online database of I Want to be a Millionaire questions
Copyright, perhaps?
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone ah, confusing context
 
@murgatroid99 I know you've only had it for less than 24 hours, but... How are you enjoying The Cave? >_>
 
@Fluttershy It's pretty good so far. I had to look at guides a couple of times for things I didn't think of, and I kind of feel guilty about the end of the knight thing
 
FAE
1:53 AM
@Coronus I'm assuming it's you that I just received a Raptr friend request from.
 
@murgatroid99 No spoilers in here!
 
@FAE ha, yes, that's me. I was just sending you a message over there.
 
@Fluttershy Well, I was trying to be vague.
 
@murgatroid99 Oh, I know. I was just... making sure.

Hey, who knows anything about making chat rooms?
 
I'm eagerly awaiting @badp's downvotes
 
@RavenDreamer Word.
 
@Fluttershy Can you invite 1-rep users in, somehow?
 
@RavenDreamer I think you can give them explicit read/write access. I think.
 
@RavenDreamer you can give them explicit write access, it's generally unpleasant
 
1:59 AM
@BenBrocka These are people I know, though.
 
They only need write access, anyone can read unless it's a sekrit room
 
Am hoping to comandeer RPG.stackexchange chat room to facillitate pbp game.
 
@RavenDreamer I meant unpleasant for the one doing it
 
...why is @fbueckert the only one with explicit read access to The Bridge?
 
FAE
@RavenDreamer ask @badp :P
 
2:00 AM
because explicit read access is useless
 
@FAE Eye no more!
 
@RavenDreamer I totally didn't even notice that. Now I feel bad. x_x
 
FAE
@RavenDreamer I figured I'd change it up. This is just the same as my Steam avatar. May change it again, dunno.
 
@FAE Yes, I did in fact recognize it.
@Fluttershy Ha. Step aside, Fluttershy. Raven is stepping up!
(Aside: I have no idea what that means or entails)
 
2:04 AM
@Fluttershy It's one of those creepy .gifs that masquerade as PNGs!
 
@RavenDreamer Of course not, it fell
 
2:21 AM
Random awesome game music time
Off is a kick ass, short-ish indie RPG with plenty more awesome/creepy music
 
@FAE So I hear your Prince evolved into a King.
Yes, I am now conflating you to all Dutch people, everywhere.
 
FAE
@RavenDreamer lol
 
user15026
@RavenDreamer Its like a weird Katamari/Pokemon mashup.
 
@FAE Didn't you use that previously? Or am I thinking of another one of your old avatars?
 
@AshleyNunn speaking of pokemon mashups...
Bubblegum Misty is a wee bit creepy, I find.

@RavenDreamer Needs moar Marcelline
 
Hmmm, where can I find a copy of Sagan's Demon Haunted World
 
@AshleyNunn We are not friends anymore.
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot Everything needs more Marcelline because she is awesome.
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot I'm sorry :(
 
user15026
2:48 AM
@RavenDreamer Oh, wow that makes me look terrible
 
@AshleyNunn Hence OrigamiRob's comment.
 
Finished Haldeman's Old Twentieth. It was... disappointing

@RavenDreamer I know. I am a sad bean.
 
I AM NOT ORIGAMIROB

Q: Does Dolphin Emulator do proper 3D as supported by a 3D TV?

MarkI can't figure out if the Dolphin emulator just does that red/blue 3D or actual 3D. I'm thinking about purchasing a 3D TV soon and I'm wondering if it'll be compatible. (I can't create new tags... no one's talking about Dolphin?)

Q: Has Chivalry left anyone else craving better combat in other games?

Cygnus XAfter playing Chivalry for countless hours and getting used to actually having a great amount of control over my combat movement, I've found that other games aren't as fun. Like Skyrim just feels like a mouse clicking fest now, rather than using any real strategy to win a fight. Does anyone else...

@StrixVaria Complete this sentence: The above question is ______.

Q: Utility of level 3 sensors?

ShaderachAmong all the discussion surrounding FTL, one thing I have not seen is a verdict on the wisdom/idiocy of upgrading to level 3 sensors. For those of you who never have, doing so allows you to see the power distribution and damage status of the enemy systems in the same format by which you see you...

 
Finished Act 1 with about 2 minutes to spare before server restart.
 
@StrixVaria Nice
I'm trying to get to where I can survive in Act 3

Now I just need a four blue linked item, and both can gain from the supports.

@SaintWacko Oak was puffing them in a single hit.
 
My favorite is Whirling Blades, though
 
I ran out of bodies.

user15026
4:57 AM
@Mana I am....very...Welcoming. Sorta. Sometimes.
 
@SaintWacko There's a reason I didn't start as a summon build this time.
 
@fbueckert Heh
 
@SaintWacko I'll build into it, yeah, but not to the exclusion of anything else, because once you run out, that's it.
Now, apparently, I've picked up everything in the passive tree that increases my minion stats.
Now, to go for auras, or personal damage...?
 
@fbueckert Personal survivability, maybe
Act 3 is hard
 
@SaintWacko Hmm. If I get enough skills to buff up my minions, though...
There's a skill that applies my Energy Shield to my Minions instead. Hmm.
Wait, no, that's just bonuses from my shield.

So because of Pidgin I now have some contacts repeated three times - on MSN, Google Talk and Facebook chat
 
9:11 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I gather it still can't merge.
 
@winterswift Nope
Though I do wonder if it could merge what would happen if I initiate chat with one of them
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Well that's disappointing. I guess that's why I only use one platform anymore though.
 
Windows Phone allows conversation streams from different sources to be merged
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I figure you could set a default, or it could just come up with a brief menu of "How would you like to contact them?"
 
@winterswift Yeah, Windows Phone has that option
The effect can be a little weird can still be a little weird. I think one of my friend started receiving messages through SMS when the wi-fi connection dropped out while we were conversing in Facebook chat
