Q: Analysis of Style Elements and Conventions of 80ies Japanese Arcade Games / Video Games

Let us suppose I would like to paint an image in the style of Rembrandt van Rijn or Vincent van Gogh, I suppose there is ample literature available devoted to the works and painting techniques of those masters, including show cases, analysis and maybe even tutorials or scientific courses. But w...

@Lazers Er...?

I want to cast an unclear vote, but I'm almost certain that's not kosher for other reasons too. But I don't have the brain power to figure that out.

user58869

@Lazers a great question, but i fear it will be closed

Arperum

I just got a letter from the police with stamps on it that are older then me...

@StrixVaria ISPs are mandatory.

Unionhawk

In the abandoned sectors, there is at least one event in which a Lanius craft will approach and, in surprisingly good english, offer you a trade of some description. If you ask to buy their translator, what you'll get is a lanius named "translator". — ymbirtt Apr 10 at 15:44

This amuses me greatly

Q: Why is the bottom lane called the safelane?

For certain characters I pick, I am often told by teammates to go to the safelane. Why is it called the safe lane? What's so safe about it versus the top?

4:42 PM

@GnomeSlice that is some of the best sound production i have seen in a car game in a long time

5pike

so, just got Dark Souls 2 for about 28 € from a brazilian online store.

Guys! My work is having a contest! Write a blog post! Win some amount of bitcoin that I can't figure out how much it is in real money!

badp

@BenBrocka I have no idea how deep does the rabbit hole go. The reviews I've seen showed a pretty average-bad bad world, not something something offensively and truly terrible sixth-worst-videogame-ever material

@AshleyNunn It's okay, if you can't convert it to real money you could convert it to bacon instead

Sterno

@StrixVaria I played Torment 3 for about 90 minutes this morning. Got 5 legendaries! Every single one was a 2-hander. :(

Stack Exchange

SE will go read only at the top of the hour for anywhere between 15 minutes and 6-8 weeks.

StrixVaria

@Sterno Make a Crusader! If you think T4 grinding is fun, just imagine: You could do the same thing on T1!

Unionhawk

5:10 PM

@AshleyNunn WolframAlpha says about $50 USD

(which is about $50 CAD, and whatever euros cba)

Sterno

I got a Thunderfury yesterday and T3 actually plays decent now

user15026

@Unionhawk That is decent money :D

Origami Robot

I CAN'T PLAY ANY MORE D3 UNTIL THEY FIX THIS LATENCY THING

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot It does kind of suck.

Ullallulloo

Yay, my teacher was busy today, so I got out of my hour-and-a-half class finally on the last day we meet this semester.

Origami Robot

5:13 PM

@Sterno @StrixVaria

StrixVaria

That would change weapons forever.

Origami Robot

IS IT REALLY HAPPENING?

StrixVaria

In a good way.

Origami Robot

IS THIS REAL LIFE?

Unionhawk

No.

This is all an elaborate dream.

Sterno

5:14 PM

It'll be nice but I still prioritize main stat and a socket over it

Unionhawk

Have I ever mentioned how much I love my second monitor?

Origami Robot

MY OFFHAND WEAPON WILL GET BETTER

IT MIGHT EVEN BECOME MY MAINHAND WEAPON

AND NOW I DON'T HAVE TO FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT FOR ROLLING AWAY THE 30% CRIT CHANCE OVER THE 9% DAMAGE TO GET A SOCKET

Sterno

I'm immune to arcane, molten, desecrator, and plagued. I just need those ice climber boots to be immune to frozen/immobilize and then I can declare victory

MBraedley

@StackExchange Will this effect chat?

Sterno

I asked an Oracle question on SO 2 hours ago and it's gotten 4 views

WTF

SaintWacko

5:29 PM

@OrigamiRobot o.0 30% crit chance?

Oh, wow, I almost can mark questions as protected!

StrixVaria

@SaintWacko Seriously, though, did you have a context for telling me I was wrong last night?

SaintWacko

@StrixVaria Oh, haha. Forgot about that. We ran into some tree monsters in a rift :P

StrixVaria

Oh! Good to know.

Tim Stone

@Sterno You can't grant REFERENCES to a role

StrixVaria

The star list is all links. Why can nobody entertain me without me having to click through to something else?

Sterno

5:38 PM

@TimStone Well that would explain my problem

Though not why Oracle wouldn't complain when I try!

badp

@StrixVaria RSI is mandatory

Tim Stone

Yeah, I dunno about that, but the documentation says "REFERENCES Create a constraint that refers to the table. You cannot grant this privilege to a role."

DUN DUN DUUUN

Arperum

5:46 PM

@fredley You need a bigger "NO"

@Arperum NO

@fredley BIGGER

YOU MUST BE THIS TALL TO NOPE

Unionhawk

> [this shotgun] is so overpowered in the close range

...

yes, by definition, a shotgun will obliterate dudes at close range

Yuki

5:50 PM

@Unionhawk Video game shotguns, at least.

Unionhawk

Well, yes

5pike

@Yuki I'm pretty sure EVERY shotgun

Yuki

Real life shotguns are fairly effective at medium range as well, depending on the ammo and gun, IIRC.

Unionhawk

I mean, you'll still obliterate a dude at close range with a shotgun either way

MBraedley

@5pike slugs will still do some serious damage at range

Yuki

5:51 PM

I was more referring to the fact that video game shotguns murderize everything in a five-foot cone and barely tickle if you're one inch further.

5pike

@MBraedley Even shot (depending on the size) is dangerous at medium range. It's not like that the shot just disapears after 20 meters, like in video games

Unionhawk

Yeah, there's no magic "if they're 10 meters away, you can count on doing nothing"

Yuki

"Murderize", that's a funny verb.

I should use it more often.

Origami Robot

@SaintWacko THE SOCKET WILL GET ME 130% CRIT CHANCE :P

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot You mean crit damage

Yuki

5:52 PM

@OrigamiRobot You mean crit damage?

Because >100% crit chance is kinda useless.

Origami Robot

IN OTHER NEWS, MY WORK COMPUTER BLUESCREENED AND I LOST ALL THE WORK I DID TODAY

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot :(

Unionhawk

He does 30% more crits than 100%

Sterno

@TimStone Apparently I just suck at this because I have the same problem if I try to give it to the user directly

Origami Robot

YES YES, DAMAGE

Unionhawk

5:53 PM

...that was worded weirdly

whatever

5pike

@OrigamiRobot Or is it like, you do 1 guaranteed crit, and have the additional chance of 30% to do another one, in the same hit?

Ah, ok

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot That was why I was so shocked earlier

Couldn't figure out what would give +30% crit chance

Origami Robot

I WOULD NEVER ROLL AWAY 30% CC UNLESS IT WAS POSSIBLE TO GET A HIGHER CC

StrixVaria

@Yuki Based on having fired a real shotgun, I would not want to be shot at mid range with a shotgun.

Sterno

I take that back. it works. I just don't see it listed

Yuki

5:55 PM

@StrixVaria I would not want to be shot at period.

StrixVaria

If I had to get shot at but I got to pick the conditions, then mid-range with a shotgun would not be what I would pick.

GnomeSlice

80% off Bionic Dues

Origami Robot

@StrixVaria I WOULD CHOOSE PAINTBALL

Yuki

@StrixVaria I would choose extreme range (>1000m) with an antique flintlock pistol.

MBraedley

@Yuki Well if we're talking extreme range, than almost any gun will be fine.

user15026

5:57 PM

@StrixVaria No, me neither, for the same reasons.

StrixVaria

I would choose long range with a slingshot and the ammo is a ping pong ball.

user15026

@StrixVaria This is a good choice.

Tim Stone

@Sterno It's not in user_tab_privs (WHERE owner = 'someuser')?

user15026

Apparently some of my sister's boyfriend's friends will test fire guns at each other. I am not sure how that works without someone dying.

MBraedley

@AshleyNunn body armour?

Origami Robot

5:58 PM

@AshleyNunn APPARENTLY SOME OF YOUR SISTERS BOYFRIEND'S FRIENDS ARE DUMB

MBraedley

@OrigamiRobot well there's that too

Yuki

@AshleyNunn Well, it sounds like they're brain-dead already.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot This I will not argue

Sterno

@TimStone Ah, I found it. I had to be logged in as the user in question, not the sysdba

Tim Stone

Ah, okay

Sterno

5:59 PM

I still thought there was somewhere from sysdba where I could query it

user15026

@MBraedley Apparently not? Which makes it even crazier

Sterno

(like user_tab_privs!)
