Q: How do teams cover communication problem other than skype?

user2977079I am part of a clan, and today we had our first training session. There was mass confusion. Some people didn't want to give skypes, some didn't have skypes at all. So I was wondering, what do teams commonly use other than skype? I am looking for something possibly online/browser plugin rather tha...

 
@MadMAxJr that doesn;t sound fun
just use Ultron
 
> Me: Are you using Chrome?

> Them: I don't know what that means, so probably.

> Me: Okay, then probably not.
 
many of you have probably already seen tales of IT, but for those who have not. it's gold.
 
@Rapitor Yes, but the rewards are OK for it.
 
9:08 PM
@Rapitor The tales made me want to be the sole IT expert of some company.
 
@Rapitor one of my favorite greentext stories ever
 
@Powerlord Great work! Your reward: More work.
 
How do teams cover communication problem other than skype?
It seems someone alredy posted it, lol
 
The system automatically puts some new posts up in here.
 
@MikhailTal That's Lazers, he posts everything
He's also a robot
 
9:11 PM
Some games I play make use of TeamSpeak, Ventrilo, or Mumble for voice chat services.
 
@Batophobia In good company with other robots here in the Bridge.
 
@Frank Like Sepia Lazers!
 
@Batophobia And @OrigamiRobot!
 
Well, i am looking for a browser plugin or an fully online solution sorta thing]
 
@Frank I don't think anyone knows that one
@MikhailTal I think Skype has browser plugins :P
 
9:12 PM
@MikhailTal Google Hangout?
 
Yeah, tried that
Wanted something else, because it only works if you have google plus
Its a last resort
though
 
Why not Steam voice chat or Xfire?
 
Something online that is using webRTC would do the trick, but I don't know of any outside of roll20, but that's for tabletop RPG games
 
Its not steam
Ill check xfire
 
@MikhailTal You can use Steam outside of Steam games. SWTOR wasn't Steam but I could still add it as a non-Steam game and use the overlay and take screenshots
 
9:17 PM
It's a fully online MMO
No downloads
 
@MikhailTal Ventrilo or TeamSpeak, also RaidCall
 
xfire is very good
low bandwidth, great quality, free hosting, etc
 
if your MMO team doesn't know/want to acquire either of those programs, I question their seriousness about the matter

Q: Error Code 1900.5.999 on Apple Device

AndrewEvery time I log in to Simcity-buildit on my iPad I get the following error repeatedly, Hello Mayor! There was an error processing your store transaction. (Error code: 1900.5.999 - Player id: #######)

Q: Sliding blocks with pistons - can I delay the rising edge only?

StigmaI have a two-high row of 10-high blocks stacked on top of eachother, oriented like this with pistons on the sides: [-> [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] .. <-] [-> [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] .. <-] The idea is to slide the blocks to one side when an input is on, and to the other when the input ...

 
mumble is best
 
9:20 PM
The thing is, I was a really high level guy
 
it takes <5 minutes to download and setup any of those programs
 
@Chippies I've only heard of RaidCall in mentions. Then again, there's a reason I only mentioned the top 3 (and didn't express a preference)
 
But I stopped playing 3 years ago
I started a new account some weeks back
And opened a clan
 
What game?
 
...having said that, we usually use Mumble when doing TF2 stuff, like MvM (thanks to TF2's 2 second delay on built-in voice comm)
 
9:20 PM
They are mostly new players
 
@Powerlord I had it installed, but my guildies ditched it in favor of Ventrilo, because someone had a dedicated server for it
 
@Powerlord I use mumble when playing BL2
 
Oh boy, Ferguson is probably going to have issues next week
 
What game and is voice chat really important?
 
Yeah, it is if were gonna start team battles
With other clans
 
9:21 PM
I'm assuming it's a browser based real-time game?
 
Yup
Tanks game, not freemius
freemium*
 
Honestly, I don't know how you could play a team-based game with no voice chat. Especially competitively.
 
There is the battle pool
You can join what battle you want to
 
(Don't tell Kia I said that... she might be mad at me)
 
I can see why your teammates might not want to download anything, since it's a browser game
 
9:22 PM
There are multiple maps, over 100
Yeah, that might be it
 
@Powerlord depends on the game and seriousness of competition
 
It is a serious game
At the highest levels especially
 
I have played many team based games with certain friends really well, jsut because we could communicate without words well
 
8 mil active players
 
but it's harder to do with people you don't know in person
 
9:23 PM
40 mil in total
 
@GraceNote @Sterno: Two new Etrian Odyssey games announced. EOV and an Etrian Odyssey X Mystery Dungeon game
I meant to tell you about those games this morning but then I completely forgot.
 
Too bad you're as SLOW AS YOUR NAMESAKE
 
Me>
 
@MikhailTal other than Google Hangouts, I think the other decent options will require downloading something
 
Me?
Seems so
 
9:24 PM
@Batophobia Have they announced the decision?
If the cop gets cleared, I expect mass protests to happen.
 
@Frank They reached a decision but are waiting until Monday to give it
 
@GraceNote I didn't think Wipqozn (as a word) was a turtle. Am I wrong?
 
So very looking forward to the EOxMD though
 
@Batophobia Today's Monday, no?
 
Mystery dungeon
 
9:25 PM
@JasonBerkan In common parlance, "Wipqozn" means "Turtle"
 
Like pokemon mystery dungeon?
 
@MikhailTal And the several games predating it from which that game style is based, yep
 
@Frank I assumed Next Monday so as to avoid issues on Thanksgiving weekend, but I guess it might be today
 
I loved red resque team
 
@MikhailTal what are you talking about?
 
9:27 PM
And Atlus made Persona 3, one of the top ten best RPGs ever so...
 
oh nevermind, I just noticed @Wipqozn mentioning EOxMD
 
@MikhailTal Atlus is into a bit of everything.
 
somehow I never managed to get into any of the pokemon spinoffs
 
@GraceNote I'm so sorry :( I read about it this morning, but forgot to post it in chat. I hope you can forgive me, although I know I don't deserve it.
 
@Wipqozn I can forgive you because you're a turtle.
 
9:28 PM
A blind, earth bending turtle.
 
@GraceNote I can't. @Wipqozn is literally the worst.
 
Because even if you're slow, you can SHARE IN HYPE AAAAAH
 
Well, thanks for the help guys, cya
 
@GraceNote HYYYYYYYPE
 
9:28 PM
@MikhailTal I tried the tutorial part of the game and it looks like a fun little game, but it stutters quite badly, for some reason
 
@MikhailTal Mystery Dungeon is a very old series, but we haven't seen many of games over here in NA I believe. Aside from the Pokemon series.
 
@Wipqozn Izuna games and the Pokemon ones somehow made it over before they ever localized the original (which they did, for the DS, eventually)
 
@Batophobia I personally hope he gets charged. The evidence is there that he massively over-reacted, and his police buddies decided to get all chummy and back him to the hilt.
 
@GraceNote I still need to finish 3 and 4. I'm so bad at finishing games. I'm so ashamed.
 
@Wipqozn Go do that.
 
9:30 PM
@Wipqozn Yeah, you never even finished Monster Hunter!
For shame.
 
@Frank I just hope their protest stay away from my house
 
FOR SHAAAAAAAAAAAAME.
@Batophobia Are you in the area?
 
Yea
 
@Frank Just finished the one where she gets captured
 
@SaintWacko Ooh.
 
9:30 PM
also, her MMM was awesome
 
You'll love the next one.
 
@GraceNote It's not my fault, it's the books! There's just too many good books to read, so it leaves less time for gaming!
 
> It beats my generation's Disney princesses. The lesson of The Little Mermaid was "shut up and be pretty and a man will give you things."
 
@SaintWacko They get better.
 
In a discussion about Frozen.
 
9:31 PM
@Frank More MMMs?
:D
ALL THE MISSILES
 
@Frank I wish MH could be played on the gamepad screen, I might be more interested in it then
 
@Wipqozn You realize EO is like a book, yeah? A book you write yourself and read it at the same time!
 
@Powerlord That's a very accurate description of The Little Mermaid.
 
@SaintWacko Think on the order of six thousand or more missiles.
Per side.
 
@Frank Holy shit
 
9:31 PM
@GraceNote That is true.
 
I can't wait
 
@Chippies It can be.
 
@Frank the demo couldn't
 
One of the updates let you put the whole thing on the gamepad screen.
 
it had some useless buttons on the gamepad screen
 
@Frank ah, that's a useful addition then
 
@Chippies The demo is also a rather bad look at Monster Hunter in general.
 
I almost never use the TV for any gaming on WiiU
it requires the usage of glasses and eye-squinting and I rather not
@GraceNote Corsair Vengeance K70 RGB has all that with Lua scripting out of the box

speaking of keyboards, got my keyboard today :D
Behold - the smallest computer desk in the history of computer desks
 
9:34 PM
It's a laptop. Put it on your lap on the couch.
 
I am jealous of your mouse
 
@JasonBerkan and play videogames with a touchpad
I like my mouse and keyboard to be on same vertical level, which is difficult to achieve on couch
 
@Chippies Depends on the game, but yeah.
 
I also have speakers attached to the laptop
it's more like a mobile desktop nowadays
in few years I'll get a desktop, but at the time of purchase, a desktop replacement laptop was a better option
 
@OrigamiRobot G600 is the best mouse.
 
9:36 PM
@Chippies This is pretty much exactly where I am
 
and I'm slowly adding peripherals to it, so in the future I can just get a desktop and have everything ready for it
 
I have a...G15? G9? Whichever one is the laser mouse.
 
@Wipqozn It could stand to be wider at the back
 
@OrigamiRobot I disagree, i's already huge enough
if you want an even bigger mouse, Razer Naga has that covered
 
The Naga is not bigger in the back
 
9:38 PM
surely seems bigger
I've never actually seen one or touched one in real life, so I can't say for sure
 
That's only because it's skinnier in the front
 
G600 is already too big for my comfort zone, I'd be really sad if it was even bigger
 
I want a mouse that my whole palm fits on
 
@OrigamiRobot palm grip requires moving your whole hand and I am too lazy to do that
 
9:41 PM
The g600 is the closest I've found to perfect without being a trackball
 
I actually had to retrain how I grip the mouse when I got the G600
 
@Chippies Laptop status: 80% life support
 
But I still have to angle the g600 to support the right side of my hand properly
 
@badp More like 180% life support, since it functions just great on it's own
my old mouse was a CM Storm Xornet
which is like, half the size of G600
 
@Chippies I see you got what I mean, then ;)
 
9:44 PM
My hand hurts just thinking about it
 
@badp I thought I did and now I don't know anymore...
@OrigamiRobot Xornet was the perfect size and I almost hated G600 for days after I got it
now I'm used to the giant size though and Xornet feels oddly small (wife inherited it from me)
but I'd rather smaller than bigger
 
No, if any amount of my hand hangs off the edge, it hurts
 
@OrigamiRobot if my wrist isn't on the desk, the mouse is too big
the bottom of my palm actually, not wrist
 
What? It has nothing to do with your wrist
 
@OrigamiRobot yeah, I meant to say bottom of my palm
it's close to wrist :P
 
9:47 PM
I need full pinky bone support
 
Why? Is it so heavy it can't support it's own weight?
mine just kinda hangs over the edge, anchored to the side of the mouse
touching the mouse pad
 
No, the bone in your palm
 
oh
 
Between your wrist and your actual digit
 
ew I can't do that, it restrict my hand movement too much
 
9:49 PM
What?
I still don't think you know what I mean
 
I move the mouse mostly with my fingers for precision and by rotating my wrist (not sure if that's the right way to explain) for bigger movements
@OrigamiRobot does any part of your hand actually touches the desk/mousepad when you move the mouse?
 
Yes, the heel of my palm
 
@OrigamiRobot does it slide around with the mouse?
 
If I have to move really far, I guess
 
can you move the cursor from one corner of the screen to the other without having to move your palm?
 
9:51 PM
Yes
 
do you have insanely high sensitivity/dpi?
 
3000 I think
 
@OrigamiRobot Wow
 
okay, that's almost twice as high as mine
I can't understand how you can rest the whole palm on the mouse, yet still be able to move it without moving the palm (although the sensitivity probably helps a lot)
 
I have my mouse maxed as well. That's...3200dpi? I think?
 
9:54 PM
How about this: squeeze your palm around the knuckles
See how your pinky knuckle kinda goes "under" your ring finger knuckle?
 
> Yeah, Windows never crashes so long as you don't do something idiotic like install any third-party software or something unforgivably retarded like run it on hardware.
(the person saying this was mocking someone else who was saying Windows never crashed and then backtracked twice)
 
@OrigamiRobot "squeeze" as in, with my other hand? or in a fist shape?
 
Other hand
 
@OrigamiRobot sort of, I guess?
 
Like the shape your hand would be in if trying to fit inside a tube
 
9:57 PM
Yeah
 
Ah, the shape you make to get the Pringles at the bottom
 
@Batophobia I usually just tip the can sideways and gently shake the pringles towards the opening
 
@Chippies This
 
If my pinky is hanging of the edge of a mouse, that is what it does
 
do people really shove their hand in the can?
 
9:58 PM
@Chippies This time some idiot nailed it to the table
 
@Batophobia Flip the table. And leave.
 
@Batophobia I carry a small hammer with me, I'd just pry the nail up
 
@OrigamiRobot I'm not sure how that happens, that doesn't make any sense to me
 
@SaintWacko You carry a hammer with you?
 
Probably because I have big knuckles
 
10:00 PM
@OrigamiRobot I feel like knuckles shouldn't be doing that, unless you're squeezing them, but I'm not a doctor
 
The point is, the closer my palm can be to flat, the better
 
@OrigamiRobot why don';t you just let the pinky side of the palm rest on the mousepad?
 
@Batophobia One of these:
 
BAH, why is dev throwing internal server errors instead of showing the login page
 
10:02 PM
@SaintWacko You are far more prepared for situations than I
 
@Chippies because curving my palm hurts. That's what I've been saying
 
@OrigamiRobot the thing with G600 though, it's curved towards the right
 
@Batophobia I carry an everki Camber everywhere
 
the left side is higher than right side
so you don't actually have to curve your palm much to do that
 
Tilted is not curved
 
10:03 PM
@OrigamiRobot tilted means your pinky could touch the mousepad without actually curving the palm
Idk, you probably have giant hands
 
> JspServlet: unable to dispatch to requested page: Exception:oracle.jsp.provider.JspCompileException
 
It's not my pinky, it's the pinky side of my palm that's the problem
 
It holds my tablet, various charging cables, that hammer, a small socket set, and these:
 
Such a useful error... not telling me WHY it's not compiling.
 
Oh, and my camera and earbuds
 
10:05 PM
Here is a picture of @OrigamiRobot for relative hand sizes
 
And a pen and mechanical pencil
 
Metacarpus
 
@SaintWacko You carry a lot of stuff with you at all times
 
@Batophobia Yep
 
Is your camera separate from your phone/tablet?
 
10:07 PM
@Batophobia Yeah, I have Moto X for my phone, Nexus 7 for my tablet, and a Panasonic Lumix for my camera
I usually do just use my phone, but I do have a proper camera
 
@SaintWacko No DS or PSP or anything?
 
@Batophobia I have a 3DS that I sometimes keep in there
That starts to get a little crowded, though
 
@Chippies That's basically the same as I do
 
@Batophobia best way to move mouse
 
10:12 PM
I can't see that
 
Proptosis + tech 2 or polyphemus?
 
@Chippies Agreed
 
@OrigamiRobot are you at work again?
 
No, I'm on my phone
 
get a life, @OrigamiRobot!
oh
lame
why are you on a phone when you could be on something much more superior?
#PCMasterRace
 
10:13 PM
I'm not home until Sunday
 
Lame
 
It's all I have :(
 
that's why laptops are great
 
I have a laptop and didn't even bring it
Laptops suck
 
@OrigamiRobot sucky laptops suck
 
10:14 PM
All laptops suck
 
Well now we have one person who says they are great and one who says they suck.. one of them is a liar.. Lets see what happens?
 
I, too, dislike laptops, but they are better than a phone
 
/me gets popcorn :D
 
@OrigamiRobot I think we can all agree that phones suck more
 
Laptops are awesome!
 
10:15 PM
do you even have physical buttons on your phone?
 
@OrigamiRobot other than volume, power and maybe home?
 
My ranking would be Desktop, Laptop, Phone, Tablet
 
@Batophobia Phone is before tablet?
 
10:16 PM
The only reason I'd rather use my phone is because it's easier to transport
 
I have literally no use for a tablet that I would not prefer a phone or laptop over
 
spectral tears +split tears = fun effect.
 
@SaintWacko with the sizes phones come in now, tablets are just phones with cut features
 
oh my god
 
tears spilt on everything they hit. including twice or so per rock.
 
10:17 PM
boss rush reward: epic fetus

Q: MInecraft Crash Landing Mod Pack: I can't craft a grinder to finish the ramping up quest

MysticDropEvery time i try to craft a grinder, it doesn't work. If i auto or manually craft it, nothing comes out in the crafting square, i put all the items in the correct order, but i can never craft it.

Q: Where is Sera in Skyhold?

Mad ScientistAfter leaving Skyhold and wandering around a bit, it seems that my companions all moved into different places than before. I've found most of them again, but I'm having some real trouble finding Sera. She used to be in the courtyard, but now she's nowhere to be seen. Where exactly can I find her?

 
I probably dislike phones and laptops equally, but a phone is what I have with me so it's what I use
 
@Arperum :D
also
polyphemus + proptosis + epic fetus = 1-shot it lives
 
@badp fancy.
 
I wonder if it can also 1-shot isaac
@Arperum I have tammy's head so I still get to use my penetrating concussive tears :D
only 4 heart containers though :(

Q: How does combat work and how can you heal in battle?

DavidYellSo this has been my experience of Shadow of Mordor so far. If it's not three captains all being in the same place, it's being swarmed with so many Uruk that I can't possibly fight them all off. What combat techniques can I employ to help me fight large groups or multiple captains at the sam...

 
I've been wondering: can you use the mouse to control epic fetus?
 
no :(
 
I am doing an eden run on hard, started with guppys paw and hierophant card and virgo sign. I have only blue hearts, but quite a lot of them.
@badp booh :(
 
@badp Azazel + Tammy's Head + Bent Spoon = 1-shot anything
 
@SaintWacko the bent spoon is way too rare :(
 
10:34 PM
@SaintWacko brimstone+tammys head is better, way larger range.
 
also this combo is only good enough to 1.6-shot Isaac
I might need 3 shots for ???
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE
 
@badp Yeah :(
@Arperum Yeah, that's a lot of fun, too
 
@SaintWacko I thought bent spoon didn't do anything with Azazel
 
@murgatroid99 Not normally, but if you find a way to change the beam...
I guess I also had tiny planet
 
@SaintWacko I thought it didn't do anything even with tiny planet
 
10:37 PM
@murgatroid99 It does
 
@SaintWacko are we still talking about spoon bender?
 
@murgatroid99 Yes
although I'm realizing that maybe spoon bender wasn't actually doing anything
With just tiny planet, using Tammy's Head at close range meant that 10 beams were hitting the enemy
I had assumed it was bending them over to it
But maybe not
 
@SaintWacko I think that's 8
 
@murgatroid99 So had I, but the wiki said 10
 
And it's because tiny planet makes it so that no matter what direction you're facing, part of each beam is where the enemy is
 
10:46 PM
@murgatroid99 Right, I'm just realizing that
Well, anyway, that was the same game that I also had Ludo, so everything was dying anyways
 
WHY DO ALL OF THESE CHARACTERS HAVE TO BE SO SEXY
DAMN YOU BIOWARE
 
@SaintWacko DO WANT.
 
@Arperum IT WAS AMAZING
ludo, orbit, tammy's head, spoon bender
 
@spugsley wat
 
@MattGiltaji I can't decide who to bone. It's a real problem.
I don't think Dorian is available for ladies though
so that helps
 
10:52 PM
@spugsley truly a first world problem
coin flip then go back to previous save?
 
@MattGiltaji I think you have to replay large parts of the game for that, which is a problem for a game as long as DA:I
 
@MadScientist it's such a problemmmmmmmmm
 
@spugsley I like how the characters have more distinct orientations.
Rather than everyone's hetero except for the token homosexual and the one who'll bone everyone.
 
I'm just barely after Skyhold, which is around a quarter or a third of the main story. The game is really, really large
 
@MadScientist Yes. It's really, really long.
I just started another save because I've decided that I don't like my Dalish rogue.
 
10:56 PM
One-shotting mega satan is fun.
 
@badp hey, we are busy solving @spugsley's boning problem, no interruptions please
 
@MattGiltaji She's having trouble because she can't one-shot mega satan.
 
@spugsley Is that Freddie Mercury? If it is, he isn't.
 
@spugsley What race/gender combination are you?
Human female?
 
Yeah. That's Freddie Mercury. He isn't available for the ladies.
 
10:59 PM
Wait, so he's available for anybody?
because I was fairly certain that he, um, retired.
 
@Yuuki Elf Female
@Fluttershy I think you mean Freddie Prinz Jr?
