1:00 PM
I've never even owned a just cause game
I played just cause 2 for about 20 minutes at my cousins. To be honest I thought it was really boring.
Can't imagine playing it for 100+ hours.
 
@Wipqozn Well, I have to say "nicely played", you really had me going there.
@Wipqozn I just found the mechanics of it all really fun.
 
@DrRDizzle They're hugely popular, but they just don't appeal to me at all.
 
They're kinda fun, it's just that they stop being fun after 20 minutes of doing the same thing because the sandbox is 2 grains of sand deep
 
I entertained myself for about 40 hours in JC2, but that was mainly just playing in small bursts clearing out the obnoxiously huge and empty map
 
@KevinvanderVelden That's the impression I got.
 
1:07 PM
The game was beautiful, but it just didn't have stuff to do
The story missions were really short and forgettable
 
when I was at my cousins I drove around in a boat, crashed a plane, and blew something up. Felt like I experienced everything the game had to offer, and was already bored.
 
Yup, I mean, the story might be pretty good (though I doubt it given the type of game it is), but it's just so far between interesting things if you go for story
 
@Wipqozn Some of us are more destructive minded.
 
I mean, I'll probably pick up JC3 in a year in a sale and get my moneys worth
 
Traversing with the grappling hook and the parachutes was fun
And the world was pretty beautiful for the time
 
1:09 PM
Cause I did have fun with JC2, just not 60$ worth of fun
 
Yeah, likewise. $15-20 is my price point for 3, I think.
I picked up some games during the recent sales, too. I'm not hurting for stuff to play.
 
Rainbowsix siege is coming out tomorrow, I'll have plenty to play
 
I broke my own solemn vow and bought AC: Syndicate (in my defense it was 40% already)
It seems cool so far but still an AC game. Dunno what else I expected.
 
@KevinvanderVelden I got it for £17, so...
 
@DrRDizzle I don't buy from shady resellers =p
 
1:12 PM
There was an early mission where the bonus objective is to air assassinate some guy. I made sure he was highlighted, and pressed the button. Naturally my character assassinated someone else and I got discovered. Yep, AC game alright.
Also the script seems... pretty bad so far. Main guy is trying too hard to be funny.
 
@Arperum I'm not sure what this is a reply to
Oh, there we go.
I clicked reply then must have left the tab or something.
 
@Wipqozn You got bored after blowing one thing up, some of us have fun doing that repeatedly.
 
@Arperum I know.
speaking of which.
Fallout 4 is a lot of fun cc @GodEmperorDune
I've been using the console to just give myself infinite carry weight. Inventory management is boring.
 
Inventory management is way worse in Fallout 4 than the older ones, IMO.
 
1:29 PM
The biggest problem with the current one is allt hat junk is actully useful, so you want to keep it.
And I'm never going to trust leaving stuff in storage in a betheseda games. Even safe storage is buggy as heck.
So infinite carry weight is my solution.
 
That's probably for the best. I typically hate "carry weight" systems. They're only quasi-realistic, and just feel limiting.
 
Yeah, it's really annoying
 
@twobugs Quasi-realistic? I don't know what you're talking about. I routinely carry around three missile launchers, two miniguns, five sets of armor, a flamethrower, and a few thousand ammo for each of them
 
Especially in a game with as bad of a UI as fallout
Dividing everything into "junk" is djust lazy.
Let me sort by the material type or something
that would help a bit
 
The fact that junk is like 99% of what you're going to be picking up anyway is annoying
 
1:40 PM
well all the junk inthis game is actually useful now
You can use it for crafting and building
 
Also you find a ton of duplicate guns/armor and unlike 3/NV you can't just use it to repair your stuff on the spot
Meaning finding yet another 10mm pistol means I'm just going to ignore it
@Wipqozn Yeah, that's what I mean. Junk has now become far more valuable to me than weapons or armor or most anything else.
 
@Wipqozn You can! Press C
It now shows by component
 
It feels like it fixes some of the problems of previous Fallout games, but not all. And it introduces new problems, too!
 
Wll that's handy
 
Yep!
 
oh america
this is why the world laughs at you
@Wipqozn not all
can't turn clothing (non armour) into anything else
can't scrap it.
 
@djsmiley2k Yeah, that's really annoying
I've stopped picking it up
It just takes up weight
 
yeah I try not to
but if I'm telling codsworth to grab everything...
 
The only apparel stuff I pick up anymore is modded armour
I still pick up everything else, though
 
in other news
Doctors taking my tiredness seriously \o/
 
1:48 PM
\o/
Sleep study time?
 
Bloodtests, and if they show nothing sleep clinic
problem was previous doc went well it could be weight
I've been snoring since I was 6 months old
 
I had a sleep test done, once. It was annoying.
 
@djsmiley2k You think that's bad? Typically there are numerous deaths each Black Friday
Usually people getting trampled
Can't let anything get between me and The Deals, you see
 
....exactly
 
1:59 PM
Wal Mart moved to being open starting at 6pm the previous day and by extension, all day on Thanksgiving in an effort to avoid the doors opening nonsense
 
aww someoen removed it :/
@Unionhawk how about saying 'In light of the year on year deaths and stupidity, we aren't doing it'
that'd be the sensbile thing
 
But no America can't do anything sensible
We've got Uni, please
 
But but but! It gives money!
 
Thanks other Uni, you asshole
 
Free money! What's not to like?
 
2:05 PM
Foot traffic on black Friday is down significantly. People are shopping online more.
But making fun of my country on The Bridge is at a record high.
 
Don't worry, I'm sure election season will be worse
 
@Unionhawk Well duh. We are all online instead of being foot traffic.
 
It will be if Carson is allowed to live
That man cannot be allowed to become president
 
Carson/Trump 2016!
 
... wait election season is like 2 years for america, I meant like the month before and after
@twobugs Trumpson 2016!
 
2:07 PM
NO
 
No wait, I've got a better idea
 
No
 
Carson/Trump/Rand Paul 2016!
 
-ideas
 
Three way ticket!
I wonder why I haven't seen anyone bring up how hilarious it is that people who talk about "the founding fatherS" of our country tend to be the people who would get really upset about someone or something having more than one father :P

@Lazers2.0 why are you sighing into mojang? Don't be creepy
 
He just broke up with Minecraft. Give the man some space
 
@Unionhawk The absolutely insane thing is that there are people who fear Bernie Sanders becoming president with the same intensity I fear Ben Carson becoming president.
 
@Unionhawk I've been making an effort to stop that.
Hence why I didn't comment on those videos!
 
@StrixVaria "Socialism"!
 
2:25 PM
@StrixVaria Because Socialism is THE DEVIL1
 
I don't know what socialism is so if someone disagrees with me it must be socialism!!!
 
I honestly just can't wrap my head around the mentality that it should be every man for himself that seems to come from republican supporters.
 
@Wipqozn Back in the nomad days, if you didn't hunt and provide for your family, they'd starve to death. There were no free handouts. It should be as difficult for everyone as it was for them.
 
There's this cultural notion of rugged individualism which is basically used to deceive a lot of people.
 
@Wipqozn No, it's every man for myself. As in everyone should do things for me.
 
2:26 PM
> A self-described socialist[11][12] and democratic socialist,[17] Sanders favors policies similar to those of social democratic parties in Europe, particularly those instituted by the Nordic countries.[21] He is a leading progressive voice on issues such as income inequality,[14] universal healthcare, parental leave, climate change,[22] LGBT rights, and campaign finance reform.[23] He is also outspoken on civil rights and civil liberties, and has been particularly critical of mass surveillance policies such as the USA PATRIOT Act,[24] the NSA surveillance programs,[25] and racial discrimin
 
People are in love with pure capitalism
Convinced that increased minimum wage will increase all prices and be a wash, etc
 
Nobody is in love with pure capitalism. Maybe a few fringe candidates. Mainstream people just think they are.
I mean, pure capitalism is pretty awful and doesn't really exist anywhere for good reason.
 
@Unionhawk That awkward democratic debate question where they were asked "Do you believe in capitalism?" and Bernie said no. Even the other democratic candidates were like "obviously capitalism is literally the best thing ever invented, but maybe we could improve it a little"
 
@Unionhawk Yeha, that pisses me off
 
I mean, we will have a highly regulated capitalistic society and even then we get the horrible recessions that are one of the defining traits of capitalism (from my understanding)
 
2:29 PM
minimum wage will likely increase prices... but not as much as people seem to think
Bernie Sanders sounds pretty rad
 
Oh McDonald's will make fifteen dollar hamburgers
 
I just can't get over the fear mongering that's been built up around socialism in the USA
I balme Fox News
 
@Wipqozn He's a cool dude but his debate skills leave something to be desired.
 
No they won't you idiot they'd never sell a fifteen dollar hamburger
 
More specifically Rupert Murdoch. Seriously, fuck that guy.
 
2:30 PM
@Wipqozn I don't think people realise what minimum wage is, they think that it's much higher and loads of people are on it.
 
@Unionhawk Whenever I see folks in the USA making these bullshit arguments I'm just like "Have youe ver looked at your neighbour to the north?"!
Our prices are higher here, but they're not as bad as the fear mongering republicans want you to think
 
But isn't canadas healthcare system horribly inefficient and also communism?????
 
@Unionhawk Another one is same sex marraige. When I see the crazy rtight ringers saying it'll destroy the world I'm just like "Do you not realize other countries exist?"
 
Everyone from Canada is a godless pinko commie scumbag. No exceptions. Oh hi Ted Cruz!
 
I think it's insane that we have an entire political party (of only 2 relevant parties) based on fearmongering and non-facts.
 
2:32 PM
I, for one, can't go a day without sacrificing a virgin christian baby to the Grand Moose.
 
And that people actually pay them any attention at all.
 
@StrixVaria It's crazy. The Conservatives under Harper were terrible for it as well.
Although not as bad as the republicans.
 
We have a major political party that almost caused our country to default on debts to try and win a political argument.
 
Yeah except the thing is since we back our own currency, it's literally impossible for us to default
Literally impossible
 
@Wipqozn the netherlands have been fine for, what? 15 years now?
 
2:34 PM
@KevinvanderVelden Don't you have mandatory gay marriage now or something?
 
We just shuffle imaginary money around and make it work
 
@RonanForman last time I checked no, still working on it!
 
@uni Well a lot of these people (a non-zero number of them) want us to go back to the gold standard, which would be disasterous
 
I'm pretty sure that in the Netherlands, you're legally obliged to marry your windmill.

@StrixVaria Makes sense
 
I mean, you guys citing other countries realize that the news media in America will frequently lie about other countries, right?
i.e. the whole "Parris having multiple muslim no-man-lands"
 
@twobugs wat? They said that?
 
@twobugs And multiple UK towns.
 
@twobugs Yeah, like I said,I blame Rupert Murdoch
 
I blame fox news
 
2:36 PM
@KevinvanderVelden Got it in one!
 
@twobugs I just go "This is completely ridiculous and noone with any knowledge on it would believe it... oh right fox"
 
There's a major American author who argues that Obama is evil for two major reasons. (1) He spent his early years outside of the USA (2) He's "anti-colonial"
This author was born and raised in India.
 
@twobugs (3) He's Black
 
Disregard the fact that if you think the USA is a sovereign nation you are inherently anti-colonial...
 
So much of the hate against Obama comes from people who are obviously racist
HE'S A MUSLIM
BIRTH CERTIFICATE
HE WANTS TO RUIN THE COUNTRY
 
2:39 PM
Well yes, but that isn't a stated Dinesh D'souza point
 
@Wipqozn Muslim is the new black
 
Don't why, Trump is one of those people
 
Although if you look at his college's newspaper when he was in control of it...
 
@Wipqozn he doesn't talk about that anymore
 
@twobugs not really, it's a fact that USA is now a sovereign nation, that does not have any relation to liking or disliking colonies
 
2:40 PM
@Unionhawk Doesn't matter ifhe still talks about it.
You can't go back on being a racist idiot.
 
Sure
I mean, he does that anyway
 
Also, this conversation is serving too distracting. I need to get to work.
I blame soceity.
 
@KevinvanderVelden I disagree. It's a sovereign nation now because we recognized that colonialism wasn't in our best interests. It takes a very foolish, stupid, or evil person to claim "oh but our colonialism is in their best interests"
> It takes a very foolish, stupid, or evil person
I guess that's kind of the crux of the argument, though...
 
@twobugs But America is a special snowflake and nothing else is like it.
 
@twobugs I'm saying that believing in the fact that the USA is a sovereign nation makes no difference to what you believe about that fact
 
2:49 PM
Fair enough. I still think it's absurd to be from an ex-colonial nation, immigrate to another ex-colonial nation, and then throw around "anti-colonial" like a snarl word
 
What does that word even mean?
 
In today's world, does it mean anything?
 
"Opposing colonisation" that's useful ><
 
In this context? The author is using it to be "Obama just wants to punish colonial powers"
 
Who?
 
2:50 PM
@Unionhawk well yes, america for example does have colonies
 
The UK?
 
Or something? It's Dinesh D'Souza, don't think too hard
 
Us?
Who else has an empire these days?
 
Fox News!
 
2:52 PM
At first I thought you linked me to some fake wikipedia joke thing because half my screen is one of their donation things...
 
@ng_beard Hi, thanks for letting us know. Looks like Cloud Flare had an issue in LA at around that time. Apologies for the inconvenience!
 
> we'll never run ads
 
Sorry, it's more like 40% of my 1920x1200 monitor
 
2:53 PM
Fuck you Wikipedia
 
That's completely acceptable and not at all instrusive
 
@StrixVaria to be fair, I think their concern is probably more neutrality and such
 
Yeah well they already failed! Wikipedia sucks! Conservapedia all day every day! does donuts on your lawn and speeds away on tricycle
 
@Unionhawk I can't tell whether that price of coffee is too cheap or too expensive.
 
$3 is probably right for coffee house coffee not including Starbucks, probably,

@twobugs I read that as throws donuts on your lawn and was like what a waste of donuts
 
Or maybe as an average including Starbucks

Oh my goodness. It's here. Chapter 342 of Berserk in English!
THEY'RE OFF THE BOAT
 
@twobugs Are they fresh off the boat?

I hate you, but yes
 
If they're off the boat, do they at least know how to swim?

Music Industry

Proposed Q&A site for the business and technical side of music including sound technicians, producers, recording engineers, promotion managers, booking agents, and other similar positions.

Currently in definition.

 
@badp I am currently at work, nope =p
I'll check it when I get back? Unless it's urgent
 
it's not
 
3:04 PM
Wait... I think I know where this is going
Is this going where I think it's going?
 
I don't know, it could go several ways
 
It could be going where I think it might be going or maybe not
 
@Unionhawk are you thinking it's going in the general direction of undertale?
 
It could be
 
It's going way worse places, bloody trains =[

Q: Is there any way to avoid being dismounted whilst interacting with items outside of Draenor?

victoriahThe Tier 1 Stables in the Garrison has the following perk: Also allows you to remain mounted while interacting with objects in outdoor Draenor zones. This is pretty great if you're doing a lot of questing. I'm working on Loremaster of Kalimdor and it would be wonderful to have this feature ...

 
Yeah. It's crazy. To be fair, Blizzard kind of did something shady by acquiring the source code.
 
@twobugs Meh.
If your business model is based on breaking the TOS of someone else's business, I lose any sympathy for you.
 
Yup, there's basically 3 companies involved: Blizzard, Cheat software maker, and cheat software seller
 
3:18 PM
I don't think these botmakers should have legal standing to begin with, but I understand that some people are worried about the precedent this might set.
 
The seller gave the source (which is the IP of maker) to blizzard, despite both seller and blizzard knowing that seller has no legal right to do so
 
blizz is acting weird lately
They even bought king inc.
 
No, Activision did that.
 
And now maker is suing blizzard because they illegally have possession of makers IP
 
Activision-Blizzard
 
3:20 PM
@twobugs blizzard==activision blizzard
 
I'm aware of that, but they operate almost entirely separately from one another.
Blizzard themselves do not own King.
 
Yep, but the source of money is same.
They just delayed ~half life 3~ diablo 4 release by 10 years for doing that
 
@twobugs oh wait ignored person chatting inbetween us, I was confused
 
@ardaozkal What on earth are you talking about?
 
user15026
3:21 PM
@ardaozkal citation needed
 
Activision-Blizzard is an umbrella company.
 
insert something clarifying that it was a joke
 
Especially considering half life 3 has nothing to do with activision or blizzard
 
Blizzard is still its own entity

@Unionhawk So we should start worrying about the T-Virus?
 
3:23 PM
Yes
 
@twobugs you shouldn't worry about it, it is inevitable regardless
 
The real question is when do we get Chris Redfield with his boulder-busting powers?
 
Chris Redfield in Azeroth?

@Arperum I got to the Tarantulas in Critter Mound. Man, you weren't kidding. This really drags.
 
@twobugs Yes, and the worst part is that in a relatively short time your critters are going to end up with maxed stats, and all you have to do is wait until they ahve beaten another war. For the last two achievements. That was when I quit.
 
I'm quickly approaching the quit point
Maybe I'll move on to mine defense. That was frustrating to "play" at home, but it should be fine at work

@AshleyNunn I keep forgetting and I'm sure I've asked you this before, but have you ever played the Phoenix Wright games? I think you'd like them.
Pretty sure they're all available on iOS and Android now, but the best bet would probably be the Trilogy collection on 3DS
 
user15026
@twobugs I have! I played the first three for sure. Pretty sure I have played others as well.
 
user15026
They're pretty great.
 
Anyone here have an Nvidia Shield Android TV?
 
3:45 PM
Nice! I love 'em. The recent 3DS one is awesome as well. Only one I'm not too keen on is Apollo Justice, but even that had it's moments
Didn't finish the first Edgeworth game and we aren't getting the second one anyway :(
 
user15026
I haven't played the most recent one.
 
It's really good, but the new gimmick falls a little flat I think (reading emotions)
 
@AshleyNunn Which one's that?
 
It's a neat idea, there's just a specific part later on where I felt like I was completely guessing for the right emotion
 
@SaintWacko I'm thinking of getting one when I upgrade my rig.

Q: Is there any point to sleep more than an hour?

CoqPwnerOther than to pass time? I mean does it increase the time Well Rested/Lover's Embrace will stay active? I know it doesn't restore more health, as sleeping a single hour appears to restore 100% of lost health, and it doesn't appear to have any other benefit, does it?

Q: Are the microtransactions bad on Assassins Creed Unity?

m0nstaSo AC Unity is $10 on amazon, so I read some reviews and I heard that you need to unlock chests to get gear to complete the story and that these chests require micro transactions. Do you absolutely need to buy stuff to open chests

 
The best part is the localization. It takes place in California (at least, so they claim), but everyone is really crazy about these Japanese spirits called Yokai!
 
I can't wait for The Room 3 to hit Android
1 and 2 were some of the best games I've played all year
 
What kind of games are they?
I've never heard of them
 
@KevinvanderVelden hell's commutij
 
3:53 PM
@badp yeah =[
 
all's well that ends well though, and I didn't have to take the train bus thing
 
That's good at least
 
@ardaozkal They're on sale right now with the remote, and I'm seriously considering getting one
We need to get another Chromecast anyway, and the NVidia TV has that function
Plus, I only use Nvidia GPUs, and streaming from my computer would be cool
 
That's weird. The Amazon sale on Xbox One controllers ended, but only for the basic controller. The play and charge kit + controller is still $20 off, making it the same price as the basic controller...

Q: How can I keep my face cool while on the move?

WipqoznOn those hot summer days it can be really hard to keep your face cool while on the go. You can buy portable hand fans, but carrying it around is a real hassle. What can I do to keep my face cool while on the go?

Such quality.

Huh.
 
There are enough sites that association bonus could add up to 10k
 
@Blem Oh, very well then
 
@Blem best answer "I don't know! Why should they cry?"
