@Chippies Is there a range limit?
 
@Chippies How many can you have? Only 1 pair?
 
@5pike Idk, I haven't got that far yet, we started over
hmm
it's a portal gun, so 1 pair per player, I guess
 
@Chippies I see.
 
@StrixVaria Can't really tell without testing, it's too early to know for sure
@Mana to be fair... nowadays we use rather than
@Frank on one hand it seems like an awesome feature, but on the other, you can never re-roll your ancients with it, so Idk. All these cool new things are making me wanna play Diablo again

11:30 AM
@Chippies Bah, US got patch notes, EU didn't get them.
 
@Arperum aren't they the same though?
I thought the patch notes were shared, since the patches are the same
 
@Chippies Yup, but I have to go to the US site to get them, which is annoying.
> Removes the level requirement from an item, allowing it to be equipped by a character of any level.
...
What the hell.
 
@Arperum I wonder if they just forgot to add it...
 
Probably.
 
@Arperum that's the twinking gem, been around since forever ago
and by forever ago I mean like, season 2, I think
unless it's something new?
 
11:34 AM
@Chippies You can now add that to any item with kanai cube thing.
 
@Arperum that's kinda cool, but you're still going to add it to a weapon anyway
 
@Chippies True, but legendary gems were jewelry only? except if youy are talking about something else?
 
@Arperum that particular gem is for weapon
 
@Chippies Ah. Seems like I didn't get that one.
 
increases your exp per kill and removes level req at lv25, right?
that's the twink gem for weapons
 
11:36 AM
@Chippies Nope, that one is definitely for jewelry.
 
> LGems can only be socketed into rings and amulets - not any other item types.
Gem of Ease added in Season Two is the only exception; it sockets into weapons.
- See more at: http://www.diablowiki.net/Legendary_Gems#sthash.uLyVcwbm.dpuf
 
@Chippies Did not know that.
 
pretty sure it says so on the gem itself, but if you never had it, you wouldn't know
 
I do own that one. I guess I miised that information.
it doesn't say it on the gem.

Q: Minimum support for elevated buildings

ElliottI have been building elevated bases a little and believe that I have been going a little overboard with adding wooden pillars onto my elevated buildings in case the building is destroyed. I was wondering if anyone knows how the supports work and what would be the maximum amount of objects that c...

 
12:00 PM
@Arperum I'm curious now... so curious, I'm updating Diablo...
 
@Wipqozn With your roommate gone, who is going to protect you when strangers break into your apartment at night, intent on doing you harm?
 
@Sterno Your mom, probably.
Also that's another mod down.
Them mods are dropping like flies!
 
ohman
What mod?
 
but I don't think juan was that active now a days anyways. The guy was busty with family.

Q: So long and thanks for all the fish (again I guess)

juanformosoI swear I had not seen agent's post until it came up on the related questions list when I finished typing the title. Anyway, since the reason is the same I decided not to change it. You may notice I don't have a diamond anymore, but you also probably noticed that I have not been around much lat...

 
probably the starred post, eh
 
12:02 PM
Our founder!
 
Damnit Square-Enix.
Special Edition DQ Warriors
 
Cannot wait. Cannot wait.
 
but it's only for sale on their store?
 
THAT WAS THE LONGEST TWO MINUTES

@Wipqozn YOU SAID HE WAS BUSTY WITH FAMILY
I SHALL LAUGH ABOUT THIS FOREVER
FOREVER
 
Ugh. I have to pay $5 to get it with their "super saver shipping"
Which is like 5 business days later
JUST PUT IT ON AMAZON
WHERE I GET IT RELEASE DAY
 
12:06 PM
Dairy Queen Warriors?
 
Yes. The most delicious Warriors game ever created.
You play as the forces of Dairy Queen against the evil empires of Baskin Robbins, Culvers, TCBY, and more.
 
I would play that game.
 
@Sterno ......fuck.....
also ping
Man, I still haven't decided on my next book
farseer or powder mage?
 
I just started farseer
so far the writing is good
 
DECISIONS DECISIONS
@Sterno I've heard fantastic things about hobbs characters
 
12:08 PM
I wouldn't know (yet)
But the writing didn't make me want to kill myself, so there's that.
 
Maybe I'll read Farseer just to be cool then
It'll be like video games
 
That book has bonus points for being free on Amazon
(or at least it used to be)
 
Does not appear to be free for me.
 
It was a year or two ago probably. I think it was to get you to read the first one and buy the rest
 
12:09 PM
no
 
Good, because that looks terrible
 
Assassin's Apprentice
 
I'd probably judge you harshly if you read that
 
Still only $1.99 though

Q: What's the point in leveling dwellers?

AequitasWhat is the benefit of leveling up the dwellers? It doesn't seem to give any benefit, in fact it is detrimental as higher level dwellers cost more caps to revive. The only reason I can see to level up a dweller, is so that you can select and drag them around.

bah, farseer
more like urmom seer
I'll read it now just because @Sterno is
but I do want to read powder mage
maybe I'll do that
fuck decisions, man
 
@Wipqozn Do you know what you should do?
Because I know what you should do
 
@fredley Be fancy?
 
@Wipqozn Watch FMA
 
@fredley nah, I have plans to rewatch that FMAB with a friend who has yet to see it
 
12:14 PM
@fredley Watch Brotherhood or read the manga instead.
 
@Chippies Er?
 
@Wipqozn :(
I want to cotrol your life :(
 
@fredley It'll be better with a friend. I can drink his tears.
 
I thought reforging a legendary means you can re-roll it.
 
@fredley I'll bottle some of his tears for you
Oh hey, it's that @Mana guy
Happy Canada Day
 
12:15 PM
> Note that reforged items may re-roll as either Ancient or non-Ancient, so reforge at your own discretion!
that part
by re-rolling ancients you're risking losing the ancient'ness
 
@Chippies Yep.
But the opposite is also true.
You can reforge legendaries INTO ancients.
 
I guess it really depends on pricing and chances
 
oh hey, styx is on sale
maybe I should go back and finish that game
It was quite good
 
you can reforge regular stuff into ancients, but then once you got ancients, I wouldn't want to risk losing them, unless the odds are in my favour or good enough
 
@Chippies It's on the PTR; you could always test it and find out.
 
12:18 PM
@Frank bah, PTR takes away the fun from real game later
I'll just wait until someone else tests it and then watch some youtube videos before season 4 begins
I updated my game just for this screenshot

Q: Summon a PrimedTnt with a very long fuse

CommandFoxI would like to create a PrimedTnt with a fuse longer than the maximum (max fuse = 127 ticks). The fuse must be about 10 seconds. Thanks for your help.

 
I know that this site requires screenshots for game identification, but what about a game that I know the name of, can describe, but can't find any references to?
 
@GorchestopherH Nope.
 
@GorchestopherH if you know the name then, technically, you don't need identification
 
If you don't have an artifact, we can't help.
 
12:24 PM
But you can ask right here \o/
 
but you can ask in the chat, someone may help you
 
@GorchestopherH You can ask in chat, or you could try /r/tipofmytongue
 
17 hours ago, by Arperum
@fredley I guess I am blind.
 
@Arperum well, you said you never had it, and the site doesn't specifically mention it being for weapons
 
@GorchestopherH Or /r/tipofmyjoystick
 
12:26 PM
@Chippies I own that gem, I even started leveling it a bit at some point. But I never equipped it or tried to do so. So I probably just overlooked that line.
 
It's kinda useless in softcore, but it can be good for leveling alts in hardcore
 
@5pike That sounds gross.
 
Heh
 
@Chippies Yea, I know people who used it, just equip it, and then stand at the entrance of a lvl 70 rift that is being cleaned by someone else.
 
Glad The Bridge (or at least, myself, @twobugs and definitely @AshleyNunn) are all on the same page on that one
 
12:31 PM
That levels you fast
@Unionhawk You forgot @spugsley. For sure.
 
@Arperum speaking of which, was it always just required to be on the map to get the exp? I feel like long ago you had to actually be within a certain range
 
@Arperum Yes
You're right
 
@Chippies It's been map as long as I can remember, but you get an exp/goldfind buff for being close
 
@twobugs I guess I always assumed wrongly that you had to be within the buff range to get exp
 
@Chippies Don't know about other areas, but in rifts, being on the same rift map works. If they anter a next floor, you have to teleport though.
 
12:33 PM
@Arperum I know it works now, as I have plvl'd wife's characters and vice versa, but I always hung around within the buff range before I found this out
it works on any map, not just rifts
 
It may have been more spatially limited in vanilla D3, but let's agree not to talk about vanilla D3.
 
@Chippies Staying in buff range is super dangerous on some maps. Especially the ones that have those red pools that appear on the ground.
 
@Arperum it's especially dangerous when the plvleler is a melee character and isn't super geared for T6
 
@Chippies They're adding up to T10 in the upcoming patch.
 
I've only plvl'd to 40'ish in HC because of that, because dying is a pain
@StrixVaria I know, that's good, because 1) with a proper build, I can already faceroll T6 and 2) they're adding stuff that will make people even stronger
 
12:38 PM
I'll check "tipofmyjoystick" but I'm looking for a game circa late early 90's (possibly late 80's) that came bundled with a PC I got waaaaay back in the day (Windows 3.1). The game was run from a batch file, but many games were back then, and I launched it from "haunt.bat". The title text was "Haunted Mansion", and it was a no-graphics text-based RPG. All I remember is that after maybe 3 or 4 movements I would get killed by a werewolf. Looking for any clues to help me find it.
 
@Chippies Or in one case where someone lost his hardcore lvl 50+ and his gem: a demon hunter that wanted to have a quick look at the stuff the rift guardian had dropped.
And then red pools happened.
 
@Arperum yeah, I wouldn't risk wearing actual gear in HC when plvling, if I had to stay within the buff range
 
@GorchestopherH RPG, or text-adventure?
I think I remember that game
I remember trying to hide from it in a closet in the house
I've always wanted to play that game again
 
The other guy survived, because he had a passive active that saves you from death.
That was a pretty sad moment.
@Chippies HC isn't that hard. Just play it a bit more defensively.
 
@Arperum HC is hard if you're being plvl'd :P
 
12:40 PM
@Arperum I don't have time to play HC.
 
@Sterno Sorry, text adventure
 
I don't have time to play. :(
 
@Chippies Been there done that.
 
I have a lv70 WD in HC, I got almost all the HC achievs
 
I should check what achievements I miss in HC
 
12:41 PM
but I can't really be bothered playing HC more than just for achievs, it's too stressful
 
@GorchestopherH If you find it, post a link here. I want to play!
 
I'm only missing some unique kills, I think
and maybe some elite kills
because I got sick looking for them
I don't have unique kill achiev even in softcore, because some of them never spawn
 
@Sterno Look me up if I forget! The problem is that the PC was a hand-me-down from my uncle, and he may have put it on there, but I recall that the only reason I even found it was because I was poking around on the C-drive, and ran haunt.bat...
 
@Chippies Yeah, that's how I feel. I like to just relax and do dumb stuff in Diablo 3
 
12:43 PM
Could it be something called haunted house?
@Sterno Dammit you.
 
Apparently it didn't take terribly long to beat the game
(though I never came close)
 
I feel like a lot of those older adventure games don't take very long if you know what you're doing
You sprint to the banana, grab it, sprint to the knife, grab that, combine them to form the nuclear warhead and you win!
 
@twobugs Interesting combination
 
Or you convince Betsy Ross to change the design of the American flag so you can make a tentacle costume
How is there not a remake of that game yet? Or at least a GOG version?
 
user15026
@unionhawk on the same page about? (I just woke up, saw your message, haven't checked context)

18 mins ago, by two bugs
@5pike That sounds gross.
 
user15026
Oh yeah, I am Queen of innuendo, so yep
 
@Sterno I don't believe this is it, according to the text walkthrough there is no werewolf. Although, this does look very similar!
 
@GorchestopherH That might be because it's just the quickest path to victory. The werewolf might be to force you into the house
I could be wrong.
But it would explain why I never got far, since 90% of my focus in that game was on trying to kill the werewolf
 
@Sterno True... I think I need to try playing this.
 
@Wipqozn BUSTY WITH FAMILY
 
12:57 PM
@Sterno has officially gone senile
 
55 mins ago, by Wipqozn
but I don't think juan was that active now a days anyways. The guy was busty with family.
 
We should all pretend that says busy in order to make @Sterno think he's senile
 
My statement stands.

Q: Can you build your own villages?

JohnCan you build houses in Minecraft that villagers will detect as villages?I mean building a village from scratch?

 
@Unionhawk urmom stands!
 
12:58 PM
Some crazies are having a cycling race in this heat. What is wrong with them.
Belgian press is being stupid beyond belief. The decision where fast lane is approved is generally reported as "guaranteeing net neutrality by making all data equal".
IT'S THE BLOODY OPPOSITE YOU censored
</rant>
 
The fast lane stuff is so baffling.
 
@Unionhawk What do you want more: USA v. Japan grudge match or Independence Day?
 
@Arperum Politicans are assuming that the public is stupid, and that if they redefine the internet, people might actually believe them!
And from the journalists, they're right!
 
Did people in the EU really say "Gee, that North American ISP model looks fun! I'm tired of being treated only somewhat poorly by our ISPs, let's get a piece of that action!"
 
 
1:05 PM
@twobugs Indeed. "You can have a fast lane as long as you don't hinder normal data transfer." that is complete and utter bullshit.
 
SFF.SE is coming up with some good question titles

Q: When and why did the Enterprise get balls?

PraxisThe original USS Enterprise first appeared with warp nacelles that look like this from the rear: At some point later in The Original Series, the Enterprise seems to have enjoyed a mild refit, resulting in ball-like attachments at the rear ends of the nacelles that weren't there before: When...

 
@Arperum That's like the "fast lane for everyone and a hyperspeed lane for some" argument that was on John Oliver.
To which the reply is "Usain Bolt and Usain bolted to an anchor".
 
@Yuuki Yes. And that is approved.
The decision is also generally overshadowed by the part where they made a decision to basically remove roaming charges starting 2017
 
Again, it's so weird they go after Google for anti-trust stuff nonstop and then... try to kill net neutrality
 
@twobugs Yea, it's ridiculous.
 
1:10 PM
And since America can't be on a winning streak for long, a "court" rules that NSA can resume bulk collection of phone records.
 
@Yuuki :(
 
I say "court" because it's a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance "Court".
 
@Yuuki The court that rubberstamped all their collection efforts, anyways.
 
Hold on, the FISA court gave themselves authority again?

Q: Is there any news about the Lost fleet books and spinoffs?

CherubelI have read all the books in the Lost Fleet series and the Spinoffs The Lost Stars Series. Im curious if the author has ever said if he will be making more of these lovely things?? Cant find anything on his page that I stumbled upon.

That seems like a question @Frank would love.
 
1:12 PM
@Sterno I would so destroy that.

@Yuuki has gone senile too
 
@Unionhawk I thought "kangaroo court" was a pretty well-known term...
A kangaroo court is a judicial tribunal or assembly that blatantly disregards recognized standards of law or justice, and often carries little or no official standing in the territory within which it resides. Merriam-Webster defines it as "a mock court in which the principles of law and justice are disregarded or perverted". The term may also apply to a court held by a legitimate judicial authority who intentionally disregards the court's legal or ethical obligations. A kangaroo court is often held to give the appearance of a fair and just trial, even though the verdict has in reality already been...

A: Which films from the Terminator series are a prerequisite before watching Terminator Genisys?

Jack B NimbleIt is all a question of how much "inside" or "Easter egg" information you want her to know. This is all stuff that I have just gleaned from the trailers. So who knows how many more references there are. Terminator When the old T-800 says "I've been waiting for you" he is referring to the ori...

What I like is that it's got 6 upvotes despite the guy not having seen the movie and just saying "Here's what I gleaned from the trailers"
 
1:14 PM
@Sterno And this is why I don't frequent story based SE's; they're ALL crap.
 
Goddammit. those cyclist are racing in circles. Which means every 15 minutes a car playing horrible music passing by.
 
@Sterno Ugh, why is this getting upvotes? The guy even says he hasn't watched the movie!
 
(there is a car driving in front of them with a red flag to tell people to go stand aside, that also blares terrible music)
does someone have a bottle of concentration? Mine has melted.
 
I'm more like this
 
1:23 PM
@Sterno ...they had a blog post on movies with time travelling robots?

Q: MLP - how to easily find Derpy and the changelings?

ShelterI want to find dpDerpy more often and I need the changelings for my quest. Also, when will the queen - Chrysalis - show up? How do I get princess Luna? Sorry for asking too much :(

 
@Yuuki That doesn't seem very sterno like at all
 
@Wipqozn That's why I'm confused as to why I'm imagining that's him.
 
@Sterno Holy fuck I hate that site
 
@GraceNote Sometimes a person just needs to know what all the movies featuring time traveling robots are
 
1:24 PM
I just don't understand how they're standards are so low
and how they love so much crap
 
They provide plenty of high quality answers.... but they also just upvote so much crap
 
@Yuuki you posted this already
 
@Sterno Well, considering how much trailers reveal these days...
 
Wasn't there some user who kept asking about that and getting banned?
 
1:25 PM
Especially with Terminator....
 
@Wipqozn are we still talking about lifehacks?
 
@GodEmperorDune No, SFF
 
@GodEmperorDune Nobody talked about it so I was sad.
 
Lifehacks doesn't have any high quality answers
 
@Yuuki i am meh about it
 
1:26 PM
Lifehacks is just terrible all around
It's essentially just "Everything.SE"
 
@GodEmperorDune I'm trying to decide if I want to watch a boxing movie and if so whether to watch this or Southpaw (the one with Jake Gyllenhaal).
 
Which is exactly what we all predicated was going to happen
 
@Sterno Yes, hence the amusement about there being a blog post
Hejudas, the fellow even came here to ask about games with time travelling robots
 
I'll just do farseer trilogy
and start downoading now, so it's ready to read tonight

Are ownership kerfuffles still a thing?
 
@wipqozn I hope you have time to read it tonight.
I hope you're not BUSTY WITH FAMILY
 
@Sterno nah, but I might be busty with friends.
we're meeting up soonish, but I'll probably ditch'em around 5.
 
1:28 PM
Busty with family by day, busty with reading by night.
 
I have left overs to eat. Also fireworks are lame.

As I ask every year, WTF is Canada Day?
 
@Sterno its when everyone gets busty with canada
@Yuuki has to be a boxing movie? i feel they all have way too similar a story arc
 
Canada Day (French: Fête du Canada) is the national day of Canada, a federal statutory holiday celebrating the anniversary of the July 1, 1867, enactment of the British North America Act, 1867 (today called the Constitution Act, 1867), which united three colonies into a single country called Canada within the British Empire. Originally called Dominion Day (French: Le Jour de la Confédération), the holiday was renamed in 1982, the year the Canada Act was enacted, resulting in the patriation of the Constitution of Canada. Canada Day observances take place throughout Canada, as well as among Canadians...

@GodEmperorDune Well, first I need to decide I want to watch a boxing movie.
 
@GodEmperorDune *oneboxing
 
1:32 PM
@badp thanks for the ftfy
 
unboxing movie
 
@twobugs nope, @badp wins
 
Damn. Well, I tried.
 
actually i would find a documentary about oneboxing interesting
but maybe that's just me
 
@Sterno It's like Independence Day for us Americans but instead of fighting for their freedom, the Canadians asked really nicely and the British replied with "Yeah, whatever" instead of "u wot m8".
 
1:34 PM
@Sterno The more awesome Independence Day.
 
@Yuuki i thought there was some sort of apology involved, because canada
 
@GodEmperorDune "Sorry we burned down your white house"
 
@GodEmperorDune That's for the day after Canada Day, which represents when Canada replied back, saying "Sorry, thank you, sorry for the bother."
@Frank Wasn't it gray/grey at the time?
 
@Yuuki I dunno.
 
Followup question: WTF is Canada?

1:36 PM
All I know is we went in and wrecked your shit.
 
@Sterno America's hat?
 
@Sterno the land that claimed @Wipqozn
 
It's our national tree and bacon reserve
 
@Yuuki Maybe ash grey

Q: How are zombie and skeleton horses spawn?

JohnHow are zombie and skeleton horses spawned in Minecraft? The wiki does not states this clearly.Tell me how they spawn,both tamed and untamed versions,please.

 
1:40 PM
@Frank Replace "we" with "the British" and follow that up with the war really changing nothing and you're close.
 
We learned in 1812 that Canada is much, much more than 'eh' and 'sorreh'. We learned they can get mad.
 
@MadMAxJr but what do they get mad aboot?
 
@James WHAR U AT
 
@Sterno Well, I tried it. That wasn't it. I tried to go in all directions outside the house, and you can't go anywhere, all you can do is read the paper, which I don't remember at all.
 
@GodEmperorDune We kinda sorta tried to consider annexing some of British Canada.
 
1:45 PM
It seems to be a much simpler game than the one I remember, I wandered around a bit and got to the magic knife, the secret passage, etc. Definitely not the same game.
 
@GorchestopherH :(
Yeah. I seem to remember finding SOMETHING silver in the one with the werewolf, and trying unsuccessfully to kill the werewolf with it
 
@GodEmperorDune We said Hockey wasn't very cool, just like the Queen. They got pretty miffed.
 
user15026
@Wipqozn Added the Liveship books and the Farseer books to my ereader :D
 
@Sterno Exactly! I found a silver bullet, or at least a silver knife... I recall getting it, and the stupid werewolf just killed me anyway.
 
@twobugs At least we were smart and didn't say anything about maple syrup.
 
user15026
1:54 PM
Going to the beach with friends today, added like 10 books to my ereader. You know, just in case ;)
 
user15026
(Well actually I was only going to add the first Robin Hobb book but then my friend who shares his ebook liubrary had that and a bunch of other stuff I wanted to read)
 
user15026
(damn people sharing their books)
 
@GorchestopherH This is going to drive me nuts.

@Yuuki Double hey now.
 
1:56 PM
@AshleyNunn ~Don't dream it's over~
 
@AshleyNunn The Queen of Britain, not The Bridge!
 
@Sterno This is driving me slightly less nuts, knowing that at least one other person in the world knows what I'm talking about.
 
Oh, nice. My wife and K can finally share our kindle libraries with each other on amazon
I wonder how long that's been the case
 
I need to stop making obscure references.
I always get really hung up when no one replies to them.
