@ArdaXi if I paid for all of those accounts, I would agree
 
New jump effects are pretty awesome
 
yeah
not very good when you have six accounts all jumping at once
but yeah pretty nice
quicker than the loading bar in most cases as well
 
No windows do not kill the graphic drivers when you "run out of memory"
Stop
 
@kalina Also, why do I see these scan things when I come out of a jump
 
that's the new scanning system
 
12:02 PM
how it work
 
all the easy targets appear as things you can jump to straight away
all the hard targets are much easier to find
 
...I can see wormholes?
I mean, not warp to them
But see their existence
 
scanning is partially automated
yeah
 
Awesome
I last played right around the introduction of wormholes I think
Sleepers were an awesome way to make money then
Not sure if that changed
 
I think they still are, but living in a wormhole sounds like a lot of work
 
12:04 PM
Also, how's the DUST integration stuff?
That's what got me most excited about EvE again tbh
 
I don't know, my opinion on dust is "it isn't", but I'm sure people will disagree with me
 
@MadScientist I still like the idea of setting up a station inside a wormhole
 
I haven't really interacted with any of the planetary stuff yet though
 
I did planetary stuff once. Was fun
 
no I mean planetary as in dust
 
12:07 PM
I need like a welcome back course I think
 
not planetary as in interaction
I have focused heavily on the manufacturing/research side of the game
@MadScientist will be best to fill you in on combat stuffs
 
Ah, Dominix, I missed you.
Feels good to be inside you, you ugly blob.
5
...why does it have a data analyzer
 
At work for less than half an hour and we're already having computer trouble. <_<
 
Oh, right, I still have a Zephyr. ♥
Let's see how this scanning shit works
 
so I recently started training my pilots how to kill stuff
@ArdaXi oh it's properly dumbed down
you can't move the probes individually anymore, you have two presets and scan ranges and that's it
 
12:13 PM
Let's find out
 
@kalina You can move them individually, but the default is moving all of them now
 
@MadScientist really?
hmm ok
anyway the new system makes it easier for people who hadn't really grasped the old one (me)!
 
@MadScientist So... I just move the one cube around?
 
@Fluttershy a dupe of his own question!
wtf
 
12:14 PM
I love these crazy compilation gifs; Every shot LeBron James took in Game 7, simultaneously:
 
@ArdaXi Not a cube, it's 7 or 8 probes by default
 
@MadScientist I launched six
But I mean UI wise
 
think it's 8 for the presets to work
 
oh
 
You launch the maximum number with one click now
 
12:15 PM
Yeah, I noticed
But my zephyr only had 6 probes
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Fake
 
I'm pretty sure he has clones and that's real.
 
@fredley Wat.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz He obviously didn't take all those shots at once
 
It's a composite of all the shots he took in one night overlaid on top of each other.
 
12:20 PM
For a start, a person can only be in one place at a time
 
2 mins ago, by Sterno
I'm pretty sure he has clones and that's real.
 
@fredley Also, the laws of physics would not allow that many basketballs to pass through the hoop at once. Or to merge, as they appear to.
 
ALSO, time travel.
 
Oh, presets
I see now
nice
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Or for about 1/3 of the people in the shot to just fade out of existence.

Q: How to dismount a horse?

k0pernikusI am in the tutorial level. I just mounted a horse and finished some tasks, yet now I am kind of stuck on the horse and do not know how to dismount. I also did not find any hint in the control setup.

 
I forgot how slow a Dominix is
 
@GrumpyLazers That would be even more funny if it was a real horse.
 
@ArdaXi read that wrong
 
@fredley What did you read, dear?
 
@ArdaXi forget
 
12:37 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I am currently handling wheat and wheat by-products. Should I be worried?
 
Dear Canadians,
"Newfoundland and Labrador" is a dumb name for a province.

Sincerely,
Sterno
 
blame the scottish
 
Relevant as always Twitter
 
@kalina I'LL BLAME YOU
 
12:39 PM
@OrigamiRobot SHUTTUP ROBOT
 
@kalina All the blame is @Wipqozn's @OrigamiRobot's @kalina's
 
I am innocent and have never been proven guilty of anything
 
@kalina PRESUMPTION DENIED
 
@kalina Make me!
 
@OrigamiRobot I will DESTROY you
 
12:42 PM
No thanks.
 
@kalina How would you like to meet my Dominix
 
very well, one moment while I launch my fleet of scorpions
 
You said you were a miner
I used to be a pirate
 
I am
scorpions are perfectly valid mining ships
except instead of mining asteroids, they mine player ship hulls
 
Can flipping is quite profitable on noob hulks
 
12:45 PM
anyway I kid, only two of my chars can fly scorps
and only one of them is good at it
 
Dominix is horrible for PvP though
 
No one cares about ponies.

@Sterno You think that's silly? There is a province of Limburg in Netherlands ... while the town it's named after is in Belgium. Poland has a province ("voivodeship") of Lebus; the town is in Germany.
 
@MartinSojka Why doesn't that make sense? Belgium and the Netherlands were once one.
 
12:51 PM
I should probably beat Skyrim at some point...
 
I got bored of skyrim about 30 hours after it was released
 
@fluttershy you should be terrified.
 
I am terrified for him.
 
@ArdaXi Because they could avoid the confusion easily by naming it "Province of Maastricht", same as they did with Gronningen and Utrecht. For added silliness, Limb(o)urg itself isn't in the Belgian Province of Limburg either (this is named after a different Limburg). It's in the Province of Liège.
 
Thanks for the reassurances.
 
12:56 PM
Although, @Fluttershy is a Telly sympathizer...
 
@ArdaXi Can flipping does not work like it used to with the new Crimewatch system
 
Catholics, rejoice!
 
@MadScientist How does it work now?
 
FAE
@ArdaXi I'm pretty sure summer decided to spend itself in all of 3 days last week and now we're back to fall weather again.
 
1:01 PM
@ArdaXi Well, it still works but you get a suspect flag for looting, which means everyone can freely kill you for 15 minutes
 
Oh.
That's ungood
 
real pirates are in low-sec anyway ;-)
 
True.
 
FAE
@ArdaXi Eerlijk gezegd vind ik ook niet erg, maar als het constant bewolkt is, is it lastig voor mijn stemming.
 
@MartinSojka It's funny because you're making fun of religion!
 
1:04 PM
@Sterno Specifically, of my religion and my popes.
 
You all need to hurry up and play The Last of Us so I can talk to someone about it.
 
1:18 PM
I'm going to assume it got quiet because you are all on the way to the store to buy The Last of Us
 
@Sterno Wouldn't be of much use to me as I don't have a PS3.
 
I don't do consoles either.
 
Good morning, Bridge
 
1:34 PM
howdy bridge
my 3DS friend code is up on the sheet

I'm not doing it
Oh, it's a duplicate.

Q: How to fight from horse in tournaments?

k0pernikusSo I entered my first tournament. Fights are from horse and with lances. Yet most of the hits I land are rewared with a disappointing zero points damage. I am confused on how to fight properly.

Q: How can we play on Heroes of Newerth (HoN) latin america on mac?

CawasSome time ago, S2 Games prohibited latin america players to play on the international server. They threw the responsibility to cope with annoying brazilians to Axeso5. With that, whoever have a Mac and don't want to install Windows on it, "can not" play HoN anymore, because Axeso5 doesn't have a...

Q: What do people think of the New levelling system in Might and Magic Heroes VI?

Manus O LorcainI've been a HoMM fan for as long as i can remember and although every new series has brought its fair share of changes and updates i don't recall one ever taking apart the leveling system. 4 and 5 certainly changed things up a bit, but 6 has completely re written the leveling system. What are p...

 
dismisses @ShotgunNinja's flag with prejudice for being late by two minutes
(just kidding, just kidding)
 
Hey Badp. How do you get the stack exhange bar on your profile, where it shows your rep and medals??? (you have it on yours)
 
1:50 PM
 
@RustyMembers On your profile page, at the top right, there's a link that reads "flair"
 
oh thanks man :D
 
I don't know why two of the available styles don't have your gravatar
 
@ShotgunNinja you need more rep good sir
 
1:52 PM
@badp I know. Too much chatting, not enough Q&A
 
May I interest you in Arqade Premium?
 
@badp lol
 
premium?? hehe
 
@badp oooh.... can I pay in the form of trading cards? :)
 
@Sconibulus Give me all your trading cards first and then we'll talk =P
 
1:59 PM
 
 
@badp You're beating me at Stack Exchange! :O
 
@TimStone I have more sites
17 of them
 
I'm so sad I have more rep on Arqade than on AU now. :(
 
blah blah blah futile blah blah blah assimilated
 
2:03 PM
But Arqade reps are best reps.
And, contrary to popular belief, Meta reps are second only to Arqade reps.
 
I can participate even if my score is low!
 
@TimStone It just reminds me of how AU is struggling, though. :/
 
Oh, is it?
 
2:04 PM
Well, from what I can tell we're lacking both answers and voters.
 
@badp I should work on being more active here, I've been rather lazy (sort of)
 
Our answered rate is plummeting again, for instance ...
 
heh, I like that Arqade peaks while the others trough
 
@badp SE probably filters out some traffic patterns.
 
2:12 PM
@Sconibulus of course, weekends is when people game
@FEichinger SE takes its data from Google Analytics
(while being directly quantified from Quantcast as well)
(the GA data is private)
 
@badp Hmmm ... That's weird, indeed.
 
I'm honestly very very happy with the amount of posts that we get
 
@badp Wow, weekends murder traffic.
 
We seem to be satisfying an audience as wide as askubuntu's, without any official recognition or links from installers, with ~a third of the posts to moderate/edit/close/review
and I'm perfectly okay with it!
 
It still fills me with rage that the SciFi Channel renamed itself to SyFy
3
 
2:18 PM
@Sterno If you were in Italy, this rage would've been spared to you because "SyFy" is how they launched to begin with
You would've just pointed in their general direction and laughed twice, then ignored them since ever after
 
@badp gross.
 
Mmm... banana-chocolate cupcakes with banana-peanut butter icing sugar
 
> That means, on average, each of the roughly the 160 million Americans who have smartphones are spending more than $560 on data alone per year. (Collectively, that’s 14 percent more than we spent in 2012!)

Q: How to find out who controls the courier?

Q: FH2 server hangs momentarily on player joining

theUgWe have a problem with our Forgotten Hope 2 (BF2 modification) server. Sometimes, when player joins the server, the whole thing hangs up momentarily (~0.5‒2.0 sec) with every player on-line at the time being shown “There is a problem with your connection” message. There seems to be no rhyme nor ...

 
$560 per year? I pay... I think 60€/y
 
2:28 PM
Morning, Bridge
 
Hello.
 
@badp {insert joke about Americans not grasping the concept of a proper data plan here}
 
@FEichinger Yeah, as an american, I pay something like $25 a month for data :(
 
Still addicted to ToME?
 
@ChrisHateZ Yes, although I've also started playing StarMade
 
2:30 PM
@SaintWacko Hm, let me youtube that.
 
I'm trying to have a storage character where I keep all my unique items, but there's a 1 hour waiting period on transfers through the Item Vault
 
Meh, i didn't even bother playing original minecraft.
 
The Sci-Fi Channel's bizarre name change to "SyFy" attracted near-universal mockery earlier this year, but it looks like the network's execs are having the last laugh. Ratings are up in double-digits across all key demographics since the name change, boosted by hit new series Warehouse 13 and the continued success of Stargate Universe and Sanctuary, both of which have been picked up for new seasons
Cancelled, cancelled, and cancelled.
 
I got addicted on Knights of Pen and Paper +1 this week. So damn good. But I'm having a bug now that makes it unable for me to continue main story which is kinda pissing me off.
 
Plus, I refuse to believe the article's premise that changing the name led to increased ratings
 
2:32 PM
> US and China collectively have approximately 1.5 billion subscriptions. Whatsapp with its 200M base has moved more messages in the last 12 months than all the operators in both US and China combined. OK, let that sink in for a few minutes. For a significantly small fraction of the cost, Whatsapp moves around more messages than every single telecom operator on the planet. Of course, Whatsapp makes a tiny fraction of the revenue compared to the operators.
 
@Sterno Sad, sad :(
Warehouse 13 is so awesome
So is SGU
 
I think it's getting a 6 episode final season or something like that.
 
@Sterno Yep.
 
The only actual science fiction on SyFy right now is a show that they bought from another network. Continuum.
But at least they'll have Sharknado!
 
Anyone watching Defiance?
 
2:33 PM
@SaintWacko Yeah, SyFy likes to cancel all the good stuff.
 
Last time i asked nobody was into it.
 
Oh, I guess they have Defiance now. My bad
(haven't watched it)
 
@ChrisHateZ The thing is ... The show is mediocre. The game is crap. And the concept can't work out with that.
 
@FEichinger The show is awesome. Haven't even bothered playing the game.
Anyone else excited about Rogue Legacy getting released in few days from now?
 
@ChrisHateZ Haven't even heard of it.
 
2:37 PM
Pretty sure I'm not going to play anything else once it gets out.
@fbueckert O.O
Wait, let me find you a good vid.
 
I don't get cable or satellite so I don't really care about SyFy.
 
@ChrisHateZ Two hours? I don't have time to watch that.
 
Except for the few things they put on Hulu.
 
@fbueckert You don't have to watch the whole thing lol.
I think that game will steal the soul of anyone who's into roguelikes and/or platformers.
"A 2D procedurally generated platformer, packed with dangers of death, but this time should you die, you pass on your knowledge to your children. Children who are… unique.

So it’s certainly not perma-death, as you might expect for the genre. But wow, it’s an interesting idea based on it. Each new generation is born with specific traits. They might be colour blind (game goes black and white), dyslexic (you struggle to read the signs), have gigantism (extra big, obv), near-sighted (the screen gets blurry farther away from you) or, er, suffer from flatulence (fart jokes!). Alongside that, the
 
@ChrisHateZ /me watches the video
 
2:42 PM
so do you 'mericans really pay ~$80/month for your phones?
when you're lucky?
 
@SaintWacko ^_^ I ended up watching all 2 hours of it. I'm so excited about this game.
 
@badp My friend said that he does just yesterday.
 
Wind and Vodafone here are doing pretty obvious price warring
 
Although there are cheaper plans.
 
The basically unlimited everything plans have dropped to ~€10/month
120 mins counted to the second, 120 texts, 2GB top-speed internets, €6/mo, no contract
 
2:45 PM
@badp Europe in general has really cheap unlimited plans.
 
I'm gonna rush-unlock the Lich class. They start with very low stats, but everytime you kill an enemy you get perm +10 to your max HP. And from what the dev said there is no limit on how many HP you can get that way. So OP.
 
@badp But then again, we also get unlocked phones and fancy stuff like that.
 
Now I have a dumbphone for calls and texts that gets extremely light use and a tablet for €5/mo of data
...I hope I'll be able to find similar pricing in Germany
Actually I wonder if I ought to disable the €5/mo data plan for those 6 months, given that it's discounted from €9/mo
 
@badp I pay $90 for my internet.
And $50 for my phone.
 
FAE
@badp You're going to Germany for 6 months?
 
2:49 PM
@FAE Aye. Internship!
 
FAE
@badp Oh wow, good luck!
 
@FAE I hope I won't need it!
 
@badp
Why was my question closed
@Retrosaur Didn't you already ask this question? meta.gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/7065/…Lyrion 7 hours ago
Someone edited my question to change the entire thing
when originally I was aiming for something else
 
@Retrosaur ...why don't you ask who closed it?

Q: How can make my questions better?

RetrosaurNormally, I'd ask a question the following way: write up a short little intro, then actually ask the focus of the question. However, that usually doesn't seem to A) attract visitors or B) attract upvotes. I understand my titles also might not be the best of titles, or the fact that the questi...

@kalina @LessPop_MoreFizz @spartacus @Fluttershy The intent of the question was how I should keep questions, short and concise, or add flavorful intros to the beginning (like a poem). It was not a question asking about how questions get into the drop down list, I've asked that before.
 
2:54 PM
@SaintWacko Still watching the vid?
 
@Retrosaur you're asking how to get your questions on the hot questions list, that makes it a duplicate
 
@ChrisHateZ Yeah, I have it up on one screen and Starmade on the other
 
@Retrosaur Looking at the original question, you're referencing the supercollider.
 
I'll have to preorder it
Looks like fun
 
@kalina I referenced it once
I'm using that because the questions that are REALLY REALLY good sometimes make it there
if you looked at the bottom, the original intent is there. Whoever edited it changed it completely differently from my original request
 
2:55 PM
@Retrosaur If that's what you were asking, you should've asked that rather than ask something you'd already asked once. It was closed as a dupe because it was one.
 
technically you referenced it three times
 
Wait what how is it a dupe
The question I asked was
"How can I improve my questions"
 
not "what determines where top rated questions go"
Someone edited it and completely changed the intent
 
@Retrosaur Use some common sense?
 
2:57 PM
No, nononononoononono
 
interesting, it was Raven that changed it into a hot question... question
 
Here lemme pull up an example

Something like this
Instead of just straight out asking the question
He spent the time to actually put a funny little intro
 
so you're asking how to communicate with people on the internet?
 
Somewhat, but still wrong.
I'm asking, should i make my questions short and concise (get to the point), or should I spend time on questions (more words, more intros)
 
it seems to me that you want people on the internet to like your posts so you get more upvotes, using the wording of your question
you should do whatever you want to do, within the rules of the site
 
2:59 PM
@kalina I guess I'll get rid of that, I'm just saying that
I don't know how other users ask their questions
 
@Ullallulloo Raven changed a single word. The intent of the question was unchanged.
 
if there's a "tried and true" method
