@spugsley Oh, so you want books with some of it.
 
user58869
github give free repositories to open source stuff
 
My eyes!
 
@Frank I like a good balance :)
 
@spugsley Take a look at Karen Chance's books, then.
It has vampires, though, so I dunno.
 
user58869
and i think they have lots of bandwidth to spare, though i think displaying adverts might not be in line with their terms
 
12:01 AM
While poking around, @Wipqozn, I did find this:
Now THAT is exactly what I'm looking for.
 
@Frank eh. I've had my fill of the whole modern-day were-creature, vampire, supernaturaly thing
 
@spugsley Even with a screw up time-travelling main character?
 
@Frank What is that?
 
@Frank hmmm that sounds a little more interesting :D
 
@Frank haha, yeah. The UI. IT's so bad.
 
12:03 AM
 
The graphics essentially don't exist.
 
@spugsley I'll be honest; I bought it 'cause it sounded halfway decent, and the book cover art features the main character in a evening gown with a low back. I'm a sucker for that sort of thing.
 
There are a lot fo 4X space games on the horizon, and quite a few out now.
 
@Wipqozn It's a good time to be a gamer.
 
@Frank I take it you've read Kushiel's Dart then? :p
 
12:04 AM
@spugsley ...Can't say that I have.
goes to look it up
 
@Frank many of the titles in that particular series has a lady with a bare back on the cover
 
Nah, that doesn't do it.
 
@Frank This looks like Gratuitous Space Battles in 3D instead of 2D.
 
It has no class whatsoever, just a bare back.
 
user15026
@spugsley kushiels dart is a good book

Q: How do I delete a custom deck on the ipad version of hearthstone?

z  -On the PC it's easy to delete decks but I can't figure out how to delete a deck from the ipad version. How can I do this?

 
 
@spugsley You should read what I'm writing so you can tell me if I'm terrible at it.
 
@AshleyNunn yeah I liked that one but I wasn't crazy about the rest of the series
 
I need this game. Like now.
 
@StrixVaria :OOOO are you writing smuts?
 
12:07 AM
@spugsley What I just wrote today (not in the shared doc yet) has some of it, yes.
It should be added tomorrow, though.
Although there are like at least 5 chapters you haven't read yet now.
 
@StrixVaria YES. You're book just improved at least 50% in my opinion. Though it was already good it is now best
@StrixVaria I will go read nowwwww
:D
I was thinking about writing earlier
 
You should write.
Everything after the interlude is probably about 70% worse than everything before it.
But that's what second drafts are for.
 
@StrixVaria it's hard. I just had another idea for another story and I Really want to start that one but I am so invested in the first one even though I hate hate hate it
 
I need to finish this one.
Then I can think about other ones.
If I never finish this, I'll never write anything else.
@spugsley I don't know why you hate it :(
I liked it.
 
@StrixVaria I'm hyper critical of myself. It's why I never stick with anything, especially creatively. It's amazing I even finished college, honestly
 
12:13 AM
@spugsley So you hate what you've already written? I'm pretty sure literally everybody in the world does that. I do. That's why I said this time whenever I feel the need to write I just pick up where I left off. Eventually it will get done, and then I can go back and hate it and revise it.
 
@StrixVaria how do you force yourself to not go back and reread :(
I do it every time I open the doc
and I never get anything wirtten
 
@spugsley I write in a separate doc, and only go to the main doc to paste in completed chapters.
Sometimes I'll go back to see if I addressed something already, or to read comments, but that's it.
I will not revise until I finish the first draft.
 
@StrixVaria that's pretty smart

Q: Diablo 3 Witch Doctor Base Intelligence difference

BobRodesI have two level 60 witch doctors. I'm playing the console version. One of them has about 16k intelligence with no gear, and the other has about 7k, also with no gear. Why? Is it because I leveled the 16k one up at a higher paragon level?

 
YOUR MOM IS PRETTY SMART
Wait...
I think I'm doing this wrong.
 
@Frank That's amazing
I AM ABOUT TO GO PLAY DIABLO 3 PEOPLE SHOULD JOIN ME
 
@Wipqozn Hey, look! Dark Souls 2 is about to come out for PC!
Now I can buy it and not play it there, too!
 
Is Diablo 3 still laggy?
 
I didn't know this was a thing. They had me at "build forts".
 
12:42 AM
YES THAT WAS IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE OF THE WAT
 
@Yuki That sounds awesome
 
Which then goes to a 403 once I select my state and city.
 
I can click on my state and select one of the publications, but then it just takes me to the homepage of that publication
 
@StrixVaria It's not not laggy.
 
@RedRiderX Also, the Internet's precursor ARPANET was a DoD project, not specifically CIA.
IIRC.
Actually, isn't the CIA independent of the DoD?
 
12:49 AM
@Yuki Yep
@Yuki Eh maybe
 
> Although Putin's comments didn't include any specific threats to Yandex, one of Russia's most successful tech companies, its shares plunged by 5 percent at the Nasdaq's opening on Thursday.
Congratulations, you screwed with your own tech company's stock.
Genius move there, Putin.
 
Yeah, wouldn't want to be Russian Google these days.
 
@RedRiderX Honestly, wouldn't want to be Russian Google any day.
 
If this is to at all be taken as a sign of what's to come
 
12:55 AM
So Picard rides horses.
Hmm
 
Why open for only 5 hours? Might as well not open at all.
 
Is Imgur stuff taking forever to load for anyone else?
 
Animated gifs cause cancer.
 
@Yuki Dang
 
@Sterno In this case, awesome cancer.
 
1:01 AM
WELL GUESS WHO ISNT GOING TO BE AROUND MUCH LONGER
 
user15026
Bridge I had too much to drink
 
oH mY
 
I feel like I've had this discussion (or something like it) before...
Apr 14 at 3:18, by Yuki
@AshleyNunn There's no such thing as "too drunk". There is, however, such a thing as "not sober enough".
 
user15026
But I am home now after many beers
 
Eh, close enough.
 
user15026
1:12 AM
@Yuki You are still very wise :D
 
@spugsley The horrible typos you'll be finding now are a result of me writing on my phone during the train ride and autocorrect.
I read it over before I post it but I still miss stuff :(
 
@StrixVaria no trouble. I've just been typing stuff to you on steam. Lol. You're going to be like TLDR
 
Let me...check that.
It's on a different computer.
 
1:28 AM
Ok
Just reading the starred messages
This place is pretty effed up :D
I think Ill take my end of day and go home now, hehe
 
Wow Data is becoming more human by the episode.
 
@RedRiderX Haven't watched Star Trek much myself, but isn't that the point?
 
Well yeah
But S02 E15 is basically him making a connection with a child and bringing them all to the brink of court marshal for the sake of compassion.

Oh geez

@GnomeSlice It was bound to happen
 
@MBraedley IT WAS FUCT
 
user15026
It scares me to figure out how muchhh I have spent on ebooks.
 
@GnomeSlice I wasn't expecting it quite like that though
 
1:47 AM
@MBraedley Me neither. But it was pretty good writing, in my opinion.
 
@MBraedley I was pretty much. It fit with the island so well.
 
@Fluttershy more the implement rather than the method
 
@MBraedley Ah, yes, that.
 
@MBraedley Oh, yeah. The writers apparently had a long discussion about how they were going to do that. They felt it was more honorable this way.
 
1:50 AM
Things that annoy me: people calling this movie a rip-off of everything from Dragonball to League of Legends. Sun Wukong is an ancient Chinese legend, idiots.

Q: Minecraft Server CB/Spigot Multi-version Compatibility

Agentleader1So, this isn't necessarily a problem though, but more like a I-NEED-HELP situation. So my server is Currently running Spigot 1.7.2-1.7.5 and I was wondering if there was a way to have my server be compatible with multiple versions of Minecraft. For example, I'm running CB 1.6.4 and others on rela...

 
:O
 
Detroit is up 2-1 on Boston, and Minnesota is up 1-0 on Colorado. This is a good night in the NHL. Not that I want Colorado to lose, but I'd rather the players in my pool to make it to the next round.
 
:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 
@GnomeSlice Mullet guy is an ass though.
 
DA CUBE
DA CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUBE
 
1:59 AM
@RedRiderX You mean "DA BOOOOOOOOOORG"?
 
:ooo
THE BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORG
 
I AM LO- no that's actually probably still a spoiler
 
holy fuck fiverr is good for networking
 
@Fluttershy not DLC boosted cap
you'll hit around 50 on the last mission in all liklihood
 
Okay, long day of coding and testing is ahead of me. Time for bed.
 
2:04 AM
@BenBrocka Ah, gotcha.
Still, could do the main campaign to 50, and then do the DLC on TVHM, which should get it, right?
 
@Fluttershy Get Dark Souls
 
@Fluttershy I explained this all to FAE--if you want to play DLC you might just wanjt to play it ASAP in THVM then use a save editor to scale any unique weapons to your level later. IMO it's no longer sensible to wait until max level (after 3 playthroughs) to do sidequests/DLC. And waiting for UHVM for DLC will make the enemies pretty bullet spongy
I'd offer to play with you guys but I'll be in vegas most of next week with craptop
 
@GnomeSlice I already have Dark Souls. <_<
 
@Fluttershy I thought you said you've only watched people play it.
 
@GnomeSlice No. I did say I've seen a lot of speed runs, but I never said I've only seen speed runs.
 
2:09 AM
Play more Dark Souls
 
Don't I show up on Steam under "Friends who play this game"?
 
git retk dickweed
(how did you guys let me miss that)
 
I don't think I said that in that one, but at least I set it to save it that time.
 
@Fluttershy you'll need a good Slag weapon if you want to do UHVM
 
GUYS
what is a type of wood that doesn't produce a lot of smoke when you burn it
this isn't a joke. I need to srsly know
 
2:23 AM
WOW
Q IS A JERKBAG
AN ULTRA JERKBAG
 
@spugsley Thorn.
 
@Fluttershy I read somewhere that digging a small hole to build the fire in helps too and I have no idea if that's true
 
No clue!
I was just going off of this: flamingfires.co.uk/which-wood-burns-best.htm
 
@Krazer the slagga is idea. The slag dependency is annoying but pretty necessary
 
@spugsley Hardwoods, such as maple, oak, and cherry, burn longer and cleaner than softwoods, like pine, aspen, and poplar
 
2:27 AM
@Krazer thank you!!!!!
 
Also, don't use cedar as a regular burning wood.
 
@BenBrocka doubly so for Salvadore
 
@spugsley Ash.
As in ashes.
As in already burnt wood.
 
@Yuki I am writing and my characters wouldn't have access to that
 
Mostly because already burnt wood can't burn.
I think.
Does charcoal count as "already burnt wood"?

Q: Where to find a ring or necklace with the alchemy enchantment?

Commando401I have found a helmet and braces with the alchemy enchantment but I cant find a ring or a necklace with it on. If u know where to find one pls help.

 
@spugsley :O
 
Wait wait wait
Who's playing BL2?
 
@SaintWacko Everyone
 
@spugsley Make up a type of wood. It's fantasy.
 
@OrigamiRobot WHY DID I NOT KNOW THIS
 
2:33 AM
@SaintWacko You did. We played together.
 
@OrigamiRobot Oh
I meant now
 
Me too.
 
@OrigamiRobot I want in on this, now!
 
What
I'm confused
 
@Krazer was there too!
 
2:33 AM
Are people playing BL2 right now?
 
@Krazer I'm annoyed UHVM basically completely ruins elemental DOT after THVM mostly ruined it
 
Wait, is BL2 not what we're calling chat now?
I think I've been misinformed.
 
@OrigamiRobot -.-
 
@BenBrocka True DOTs are weak in UVHM but ruin is still a good skill to make UVHM easier
@SaintWacko Slag him
@SaintWacko I'll play if you're game
 
@StrixVaria Oooh, I like this idea.
 
2:37 AM
I'm not atm. That's still on my steam sale list of things to play through
 
@Krazer You should see my Gunzerker. I have four splatguns, one of each element. When I gunzerk in a small area, things get very deadly, very fast
 
My gunzerker is currently using 2 E-tech LMGs. <_<
Bullets for days, and they fire faster the longer I hold fire.
 
@SaintWacko You should see my Assassin, he's like Deadpool... he dies ALL the time
 
@StrixVaria Pastries
 
@Krazer Haha
 
2:41 AM
@OrigamiRobot I fixed it though!
 
I am starting watching Warehouse 13 from the beginning again
 
@SaintWacko I think we should play
suddenly
 
@StrixVaria I wish you had meant to write pastries
 
Pastries.
 
I forgot how awesome Warehouse 13 is
 
3:05 AM
seems like it has potential
 
I feel like, since Blizzard got rid of the auction house, they need to significantly drop the price of gem crafting.
 
3:30 AM
@Fluttershy Gold is rediculously easy to come by now.
In other news, the Via Infinito is a jerk place to be. Enemies can one shot you with ease.
 
@BenBrocka you should get a CATable
 
@StrixVaria I almost made it to 20000 words :p
so close

Q: How do you install the Season Pass for Trials: Fusion on Steam?

ARADPLAUGI've right clicked on the game in steam, but I didn't see an install option, nor did I see it in the DLC section. The game told me I had to purchase it when I went to addition content, but Steam told me I didn't. And when I went to the redeem content place, all I saw was the wins, actions, friend...

this looks pretty close to spam but I'm not 100% sure, since it does link to some sort of guide thing (on a gold seller website though)
 
@Arperum I remember this site, it was linked in other spam posts a while ago.
 
@5pike It's gone now, I assume @AshleyNunn murderized it?
 
@Arperum Ok then, but here is my theory: He is either a spammer or he bought gold from this page (If you search for "Diablo 3 RoS Monk Guide", you won't find this site anywhere).
 
@5pike Yea, and that site probably set up that guide thing to lure more people. Buying gold in D3 is stupid though, I don't think you can trade it anymore anyway.

dsp_099I find the game to be completely unplayable with the new keybindings - disappointing does not even begin to cover it (double left click and double right click, SERIOUSLY?) I want the old DS shift to block setup. Frustratingly, in-game options give you a predefined list of absolutely pointless ke...

 
@Lazers Sometimes gamepad > keyboard
 
@fredley Chatsey? What does it do?
 
@5pike Yup
It's uploaded, just waiting for it to propagate through Google's tubes
@5pike It's a chat client for Android
Which is to say it's normal SE chat, with extra JS and CSS slathered all over it
Slathering courtesy of @RedRiderX and me
 
@fredley So, a better mobile chat for SE?
 
8:54 AM
@5pike Yes
@5pike Android only, unless you could get this through Apple App Review (protip: you can't)
 
@fredley Never used mobile, but I overheard enough to know that it's shite.
 
@fredley Because the chatlogs contain the word "android"?
 
@Arperum Quite possibly, but also because the app code itself is only about 10 lines
> If your App was cobbled together in a few days, please brace yourself for rejection.
 
@fredley And for the rest you are getting external JS/CSS?
@fredley stares at every single flappybird clone on the store ever
 
> Apps that download code in any way or form will be rejected
 
8:59 AM
@fredley Wait? How did facebook get some kind of app approved?
 
@Arperum It's facebook
 
yawn Morning.
 
@5pike Worst reason ever. But probably true.
 
@Arperum Well, Facebook has huge monies, so I guess the real reason (as usual) is monies
 
> Apps must comply with all terms and conditions explained in the Apple iOS Human Interface Guidelines
Which it doesn't, if they were being arsey (which they almost always are) they could reject based on any number of minutiae from that
 
9:01 AM
@fredley Conclusion: Apple will refuse your app if they don't like your face.
 
Oh man, my domain's getting a year old. Just got the renewal reminder. Time flies ...
 
For example, many tappable areas are less than 48x48 pixels, and IIRC that's the limit
@5pike Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana
 
@Arperum This is not news. We've known for a while that Apple rejects apps on a whim, whenever they feel like it.
Or was that pun intended?
 
@FEichinger yea, I remember situations where they refused an app, and after readmitting it for review they accepted it, even though noting was changed...
 
@FEichinger It took us a month for our iOS app. We had two phone calls with them. In the end they accepted immediately after we censored the word Android
 
9:03 AM
@fredley Bananas fly like bananas
 
@fredley I wonder... Could you have replaced the word Android with an Android icon instead?
 
@FEichinger Probably not
I could have replaced it with a troll face though
 
@fredley "¬Apple" ? :P
 
@FEichinger Too much code, I read that and thought 'SYNTAX ERROR'
¬Apple ? "What?" : P;
 
@fredley Heh.
 
9:07 AM
@FEichinger The fact I have all of chat in font-family:fixed doesn't help
A combination of dark chat, PONIES and fixed-width font means this looks enough like coding - to people that don't - that it doesn't even matter if anyone sees
 
Interesting, I could renew my domain with Bitcoins

@Alex 5pike.net
Just a domain for testing stuff

user58869
@5pike how much does it cost?
 
9:54 AM
The .com was taken. The guy wanted 500 $

10:19 AM
@Wipqozn That would be fancy!
Take my accept!
 
@Arperum Yup. The new patch is looking fantastic.
If I finish my current game before it releases officially next week I'll download the beta version of it on steam.
 
@spugsley Awesome!
 
Who else plays AOW3? I can't remember, @Arperum.
I know keven does, but can't recall his full username to ping him.
 
@Wipqozn it's @kevinvandervelden.
I think @Krazer played too.
 
I think you're right.
Well, if you guys do then scroll up! That patch is great.
Also, yay
> Changed allied victory so only human players need an alliance to all other players
 
10:30 AM
3 hours to go ...
 
Also, yay:
> Players can now hold a limited amount of mana at once. A player can hold 500 mana, researching a casting point skill or building a great temple will increase mana cap by 100.
Mana was pointless before, because you just had so much of it.
I'd just send 1000-2000 of it to AI players to make them ally with me. It was silly.
I love all the changes that make it so early and mid game last longer.
The changes in populations required for city tiers, increased settler cost, and additional buildings added for productin t3 and t4 class units are all fantastic.
The balance changes to T4 units themselves are great too.
> Added a new advanced game option to give all leaders and heroes Resurgence, this is disabled by default
I might like this. I'm not sure.
 
@5pike Until?
 
@fredley I can go home to play Dark Souls II
 
@5pike I see
 
I was initially thinking I'd just keep it off, but then I realized it does have one benefit that I like. Currently, if you take a players throne and then encounter their leader in battle you only need to kill their leader to win the game. So even if they have a huge army you can just focus on their leader and win. This ensures you can't do that anymore.

The tunnel line works okay, but not well enough
but... it can't be a loop
that'd take too many tunnels, plus the cooperation of the RNG to give me a northern station I didn't have this time around

TrollwutThere are several NPCs who are known for glitching. For example, yesterday I walked to a NPC for continuing a quest and started a conversation.

So let's Vivaldi it up!

I have several hours worth of cds of just baroque music.

Oh Baroque era music, you may be my least favourite era of "classical" music but you're still fantastic.
 
Baroque is best

This is the closest thing to classical that I like:
