Q: Spectre Dispersion and Damage Type

So spectre's dispersion reduces all incoming damage by 22%... Now I'm wondering, does it work for all types of incoming damage, including pure damage, magical damage, physical damage, HP removal...?

room topic changed to The Bridge: General Arqade chat room, wherein, despite our best individual efforts, we must come to the sad conclusion that, at the end of the day, none of us are as idiot as all of us.

2:26 PM

@fredley If that's anything like being de-ownered and re-ownered, I'll pass.

'The Rent Is Too Damn High' candidate is now facing eviction.

I guess he was telling the truth.

@Yuuki I saw that on /r/nottheonion this morning. SHOW ME SOMETHING I HAVEN'T ALREADY SEEN TODAY, GAWD

fredley has removed StrixVaria from the list of this room's owners.

Q: Advanced warfare freezes when played

When ever I play advanced warfare, sometime into a round my ps3 freezes. How do I fix this? The disk has no finger prints on it.

cod-advanced-warfare

Huh. Network tech left yesterday, and now they removed domain admin from all of us.

And SQL Admin, so we literally can't do anything.

@Lazers 2 mny abrvs.

@Yuuki urmom is an abrv

@Lazers who wants to edit that to make it readable

2:53 PM

@Rapitor We've got a ton of questions about how to recover accounts; we should probably just make a canonical.

in other news.. apparently the federation has procedures for leaving cc @OrigamiRobot @Unionhawk @TimStone @Yuuki

Today's Listening | Electronic / Progressive / Instrumental

> Step 1: Petition to secede.
> Step 2: Allow us to orbital strike you into oblivion.
> Step 3: We take everything you own from your cooling corpses.
> Step 4: You may now secede, so long as you achieve a 2/3rds majority.

basically

dangerousminds.net/comments/…

So, that's a thing.

3:01 PM

We are enabling CloudFlare as a test on Server Fault. If you see any issues, please let us know! We’ll be monitoring the results.

@Yuuki Except he's living in a rent controlled apartment. He pays about the same for rent that I do (ignoring exchange rate fluctuations).

So much for getting stuff done today.

Kevin van der Velden

@Frank game all day!

@KevinvanderVelden If I had a game to play, yeah, I could do that.

Kevin van der Velden

Hmmm

Look up new models to make all day?

@Frank WHat's going on?

So apparently Xenoblade Chronicles X is going to be ginormous. (tl;dr It's using almost all the space on the Wii U disk to the point where they were seriously considering a second disk)

3:17 PM

30 mins ago, by Frank

Huh. Network tech left yesterday, and now they removed domain admin from all of us.

@Frank Oh. That's a blatantly stupid move.

@Frank sounds like you need an incremental

@Arperum Yep.

The stupid part is that each of us could restore our own access, pretty trivially.

@Frank But noone wants to do so because it would be a)against company policy, b) turn you into the "network tech"?

My leaving period starts on feb 9th, and lasts for 3 months and 8 weeks, because fuck logical timescales.

Q: What are the prerequisites to encounter the legendaries in ORAS?

There are a lot of legendaries available in ORAS, however a lot of them will only show up/be available if certain prerequisites are met. I know Groudon/Kyogre are available through the Story, and through the postgame Delta episode, but what about the other available legendaries? What do I ne...

3:21 PM

cc @KevinvanderVelden

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum so, 30 april + 8 weeks?

@KevinvanderVelden starting on 9 februari, so 9th may + 8 weeks or something I think.

@Arperum Nah, I'm just going to hammer it home that they have massive trust issues, and that we could easily get it back if we really wanted to.

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum uuh yeah derp

So it's a bit of a moot point for them to even do that.

3:23 PM

@KevinvanderVelden So if my count is correct: 5th of july.

,that's not my birthday

@Frank Plus, that you could do way worse in during whatever you normally do.

And apparently, they've changed other service account passwords, causing other things to break.

Well done, morons. Well done.

@Frank SO network tech leaves, they literally kick her/him out of the building. Then proceed to do what they had her/him hired for in the worst way possible?

@Arperum No, changed passwords, just in case she decided to do some damage.

Which is silly.

And didn't let us do it, because heaven forbid they should actually trust their IT team.

3:28 PM

If I decided to do damage I'd do it in such a way that I had hidden access after I left. And not something obvious as known accounts...

But then again, I see no reason to do that.

Kevin van der Velden

@Frank changing service account passwords is a sensible thing to do in my opinion, regardless of if them leaving was on good terms or not

Stuff breaking from it is dumb though

@Yuuki wat

is it supposed to do that?

Burn shit.

It looks as if somebody fed gasoline through a lawn irrigator and lit it on fire

3:36 PM

@fredley Apparently, it's a well tester. And yes, it's supposed to do that.

Russians.

@TimStone Actually, it's made by Schlumberger.

Ur made by Schlumberger!

@TimStone Considering I live in Houston, that's entirely possible.

True.

I like that they also stole WinZip. Adobe is suing Forever 21 for pirating Photoshop http://www.theverge.com/2015/1/29/7948241/forever-21-pirating-photoshop-adobe-corel-autodesk

Tweeted by reckless on January 30, 2015 at 3:34 PM

Bwuahahaha

I just don't get it. <Three Letter Agency> uses WinZip too, on Windows 7! Why can't we just let it die?

3:43 PM

how do you pirate winzip?

@badp With a lot of effort.

@KevinvanderVelden I get that, yes.

I don't get the haste in which they did it, though.

Kevin van der Velden

Oh jeah, that's dumb

I just had a ton of shit shovelled at me by my boss. They just want to be a happy little worker bee and do my job.

@TimStone Same reason IE still isn't dead yet?

3:55 PM

town of salem just lynched me 6-0. I was retributionist.

For some reason they were convinced I was mafia.

@GnomeSlice tl;dr of class?

Townie. I can resurrect one person from the dead.

Never got a chance to use it though.

The jailor knows I lied to him, but isn't lynching me. Hmmm.

I was SK, jailor jailed me first night, but I lied my way out of it and killed him instead. Then retributionist rezzed him and he ratted me out.

user image

for @Wipqozn

4:02 PM

@OrigamiRobot If the jailor jails you as SK, do you have to kill him?

Yes, it's automatic

I'm not sure how I feel about that.

But he technically doesn't know the person he jailed killed him.

In fact, the other player pointed out I was lying, with proof, and he still believed me.

@Yuuki Why, you lose a kill otherwise.

And the jailer is one of the best people to kill

It's something you'd want to do anyway

4:06 PM

That was one of those times I really wanted to be able to read what the ghosts were screaming.

How to make pizza sticks.

And in my SK will, I pointed out one player was night immune (very likely godfather) and no one even batted an eye

I'm finding it easier to win as Mafia. Too many town players quit the game when they get a role they don't like.

@JasonBerkan People are dumb.

Is it going home time yet?

4:12 PM

I've got some leet strats in mind for if X happens to me while I'm Y role, but I never get the X and Y in the same game

Kevin van der Velden

I've played one game so far, got serial killer, was jailed on night 1

killed the day after ><

So... what is SK?

SK getting jailed the first night is rough

I gather its some sort of werewolf style game, but the initials mean nothing to me.

You have to hope the jailor didn't write your name in his will

If he does, it's pretty impossible to bluff out of it

4:17 PM

@Powerlord Serial Killer.

@Yuuki ...and googling Serial Killer game turns up nothing useful on Google.

@Powerlord The game is Town of Salem.

You can come up with a feasible story, but no one is going to believe you.

So question for the rest of you: Does anyone else's warning bells go off when you hear, "Just be patient, we're working on it."?

Kevin van der Velden

Depends on the context

Not by that sentence alone

4:19 PM

When you've heard it every week, for six months.

Pretending to be Jester is probably the most likely to work in that circumstance.

@Frank After six months, they should be able to give you more details on what the hold up is

Jester and Serial Killer would make a pretty interesting team-up, tbh.

@OrigamiRobot And that's what I've been asking. They have no timeline, no plan.

Kevin van der Velden

@Frank then it won't set of warning bells cause I'd already have left

Or at least, not one that they're willing to let me see.

4:23 PM

It's not unreasonable to think there could be some circumstance where they're not at fault, but being unwilling to explain further kinda puts it on them.

Like, we're about a month behind schedule on this electrical package, but I can give a nice list of reasons. I mean, at the end of the day, we're still late, but at least it's something.

@OrigamiRobot Whereas all I get is, "Yes, we know. We're working on it. We have no timeline, though."

Well at least the electrical package wasn't kickstarted.

Hmm. I wonder if that would work. Kickstarter 'Fix the office coffee machine that has been broken for two weeks' Backer reward: Can have cup of coffee, no travel provided

Stretch Goal: Really nice coffee

And they say they're being transparent, but when all that is, "Yep, we're working on it.", and that's all we get for six months, I tend to lose patience.

Kevin van der Velden

That's when you show an example. You pick up a flashlight and a piece of paper, shiny the flashlight through the paper and say "This is about how tansparent you're being". If that doesn't work you hit them with the flashlight

@KevinvanderVelden I just went with, "Dude. You've been saying that for six months. You're not moving fast enough."

4:36 PM

@Frank thats what my work tells me about every issue ever

anything raised as an issue -- we're working on it

@djsmiley2k I'm tired of it. Stop telling me, and start showing me.

For every day that we do not get an update, I will release an increasing amount of bears.

@Frank That's... the opposite of transparent.

@OrigamiRobot "But we've told you everything we know!"

Kevin van der Velden

@Frank see, this is when you hit them with the flashlight, better make it a good one though

4:38 PM

"That's being transparent!"

I don't even know how to respond to that.

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, neither do I. It's blatantly false.

Sounds like someone needs to introduce their right and left hands to each other.

Kevin van der Velden

@Frank Oke. That is when you throw a dictionary at them

Orca is the least popular ship.

cc @Unionhawk

4:45 PM

Has such a cool name though.

@KevinvanderVelden These problems, among others, is the main reason I'm going to be asking for a massive raise.

@Frank it sounds like they don't know much about what they're doing

@Chippies Or if they do, they don't want to tell us.

The trust issues here are staggering.

@Frank then they're lying by telling you that they told you everything they know

either they don't know anything (which they should, considering they're the ones doing the thing for you) or they're lying

@Chippies Seeing as how I know they have a business plan, and that they've heavily implied it doesn't exist, I'm going to with lying.

4:52 PM

@Wipqozn Give me some lifehacks updates

Q: How to protect computer from accidentally pressing the power button?

I've PC with Antec 902 computer case and the power button is the first visible on-top thing what is pressed accidentally when in slight contact with hands or legs. I know you can configure via software, but then it really depends on the OS installed (if there is any) and it won't help for acciden...

home technology

@Wipqozn @Other people who read Sanderson: I'm about 1/3 of the way through Firefall, and it's not catching me. It's YA, so I know he really can't develop things as much as he usually would, but his slant towards constant action scenes is throwing me off. I wonder if Steelheart was the same. Damn my memory.

Q: Who are RedBelly parodying in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel?

RedBelly remind me so much of another two set of characters with a very similar repertoire, but I can't for the life of me place a name. I assume I'm thinking of some sort of '50s commentators.

borderlands-pre-sequel

@StrixVaria Constant action in YA makes sense

@Wipqozn's mom likes constant action.

@Sterno I mostly just poke into meta, and their meta is slow

I pop into chat sometimes, but chat is even slower

They still haven't assigned mods or deleted the site

4:58 PM

It just doesn't know it's dead yet

I'm reading (listening to) Cold Days

@Wipqozn It does. I'll still finish it; it's going by quickly.

Dresden's party was awesome

Trying to decide what to read once I finish this. I don't want to do the Rithmatist right away since that's another YA.

So the NYPD is launching a unit that handles both counterterrorism and protests.

Ostensibly with the same equipment, armored vehicles with mounted guns.

4:59 PM

@Yuuki That will definitely end well and cause no problems whatsoever

Sterno has added Wipqozn to the list of this room's owners.

@Yuuki Makes sense to me!
