The Bridge

10:00 PM

@RedRiderX That's what I was saying, albeit differently

:1783935 No, I eventually stopped watching. I stopped after season 8. I watched a bit of Season 9 but eventually stopped.

Or did I stop with season 8...

IT was the season after the leviathans I stopped at.

Chippies

@Wipqozn I binge watched it, so I'm not sure what happens in which season

@Wipqozn it's actually quite fun after leviathans

the leviathans seemed a bit filler'ish

after that there is a bigger plot

Origami Robot

@Chippies The plot always revolves around them not trusting each other. Everything would be so much easier for them if they'd just fucking talk to one another.

Chippies

@OrigamiRobot well, there would be no show if they talked to each other

Origami Robot

Or should I say, the plot is extended by the fact that they don't talk to each other.

@Chippies THAT'S MY WHOLE POINT

Wipqozn

10:02 PM

@Chippies Exactly. That's the problem.

Origami Robot

The whole show is based around the fact that they do not develop as characters.

Chippies

if you can get past the stupidity of the two brothers, it's quite enjoyable :P

Wipqozn

Shows/books/et cetear which go on too long run into a problem where it becomes unrealistic and boring, since the characters keep facing the same problems.

Origami Robot

And they stopped playing a ton of classic rock.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot The worst part is when they do talk to each other until the next time they run out of ideas.

Origami Robot

10:03 PM

They only do it a little

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot The classic rock was the best part of the show.

Origami Robot

I wish the whole show was just Monster of the Week

Stop trying to make them into characters only to have them fall right into the same trappings season after season

Just show neat monsters and fight those monsters

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot I'm fine with arcs, but season long arcs don't work with the standard NA 26-episode season.

user15026

I watched like three eps of it and got bored

Wipqozn

Season long arcs really only work on seasons which are shorter, around 10-12 episodes each.

Conciseness is very important in literature.

user15026

10:06 PM

I really don't see the draw of the show, I just wanted to be like "talk to each other for gods sake"

Origami Robot

As much as I enjoy hating things, I have to ho home now

I'm glad @AshleyNunn and @Wipqozn know what's up

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot You should hate that you need to stop hating things.

Origami Robot

@Wipqozn I will continue to hate the things, I just wont be able to tell you all about them for a bit

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Telling others about your hate is the best part of hate though!

Origami Robot

I know it's the high point of all your days

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot It really is.

Q: how to permanently remove dead bodies

In whiterun there are two dead bodies that never seem to de-spawn. they are the cultists from the start of the dragon-born dlc. I know I could just move them out of sight but I have some weird feeling knowing that they are still there, could anyone help me with this.

Q: Modded Minecraft Uses Almost All RAM

I've been putting together my own collection of 1.7.10 mods for playing Minecraft. Recently, I've noticed it uses almost all of my 13 GB of available RAM, even though it is saying it is using 2-2.5 GBs. My guess is that this is because one of my mods is experiencing a memory leak, causing the bal...

So I completed a Queen's bounty from the bounty chap in Tower, only a simple collect 200 items from dead Fallen. Now I have a new Mission item and I'm not sure what it's for or if I need to redeem it somehow. I tried speaking to the Queen's Wrath NPC, but she didn't want to chat.

I have a meta question, but one that's probably been answered on a different site.

I seek sage advice.

badp

What's on your mind?

Koviko

If I ask a question based on misinformation

And answers were given based on that misinformation, but don't quite give me the answer I was looking for

Also due to the misinformation

Should I edit the question to better reflect my "real" question?

Or ask a new question as to not make all the current answers wrong/irrelevant?

Chippies

@Koviko if the answer actually answers the original question (even if it's not what you really intended to ask) then it's best to make a new question

Braiam

Proposal for New edit rejection reasons. Nedjecteasons.

Koviko

That makes sense. My only issue, then, is that whatever new question I ask would likely include part of the other question

Almost to the point that it could be considered duplicate, or at least partially.

Chippies

11:11 PM

@Koviko if the core question is different, it probably wouldn't be marked as duplicate

Koviko

The question I'm referencing asks how Stability works in GW2

Chippies

there have been questions that at a quick glance seem like they ask the same thing, but by looking more closely they actually ask different things

Koviko

When really, I want to ask what the difference is between Stability and a Stun Break.

Chippies

those seem like 2 legit different questions

one is about mechanics of a stat and the other is about the difference in mechanics between two different stats

Koviko

I agree, but my first question was based on misinformation that made me think they were the same thing.

In other words, the new question would have the same meat as the old one

Should I update the old one to be more specific to what was actually answered?

badp

11:13 PM

@Braiam I've been watching too much Look Around You.

murgatroid99

@badp beautiful

Chippies

@Koviko You could perhaps just add to the first question something like "is Stability the same as Stun break?"

but I'm not sure how people would react to that, because it's kinda like a second question

Koviko

I'm worried that it either wouldn't get attention or that the current answeres would seem irrelevant

Especially since there might be someone actually looking for these answers

Braiam

@badp I haven't, so it's ok

murgatroid99

@Koviko Did the answers to the question correctly answer "How does Stability work?"?

Koviko

11:15 PM

Yup

MBraedley

> I originally included another reason, "polishes excrement"

Chippies

if your first question asks how stability works, that is a different question in the core than the question about the differences between the 2 stats

Koviko

That makes sense.

murgatroid99

@Koviko Then you shouldn't change the question so that the answers no longer apply

Chippies

what @murgatroid99 said :)

Koviko

11:16 PM

Would it be okay to change the question to remove mentions of stun-breaking to be more precise or is it bad etiquette to change the question for the answers?

murgatroid99

@Koviko As long as the question is clear, it shouldn't really matter that your background knowledge was incorrect

You still got correct answers to the question you clearly asked

Koviko

That's true.

Thank you :)

Yeah, I want the OS on my SSD. I could have installed it to either of the other two, slower, 1.5TB drives in the computer, but that would be defeating the whole purpose of having the SSD.

Q: What's the difference between Stability and a Stun-break?

As an Elementalist, my primary source of both Stability and stun-breaks is [Armor of Earth]. As this is the only class that I play, I feel I have some misconceptions about what Stability is and what a stun-break is. So far, I believe that Stability is capable of preventing Immobilization. Howeve...
