two bugs

3:01 PM

@Yuuki I saw a commercial, it doesn't have Statham though it looks like?

What's the point without Statham.

Yuuki

@twobugs Ah, I didn't know that. I just saw a poster for it at my local theatre.

The weird thing is that they're still using the same character apparently.

Oh boy, I can already tell that this is going to be confusing as f--k.

(One-based indexing in MATLAB)

Tim Stone

@twobugs Ed Skrein is appropriately British, I guess

He's also in Deadpool

@Yuuki This still makes me laugh

Yuuki

@TimStone Hopefully, this implies good things.

two bugs

Eh, I'm sure Ed Skrein will be fine, I just don't think it'll be the same.

Statham is just a fun actor

He's like Vin Deisel, but British

Yuuki

That new Vin Diesel movie feels weird because now I'm seeing Vin Diesel as Geralt from The Witcher.

And it's such an odd mismatch.

MadMAxJr

3:11 PM

I'm told that a bit of Vin Diesel's role in The Last Witch Hunter is a little bit of self-fanfic from a long running D&D game of his.

two bugs

@Yuuki Oh no. Oh no. What have you done to me.

Now I'll never be able to see otherwise

Yuuki

@MadMAxJr I would love to play a D&D campaign with Vin Diesel and Dame Judi Dench.

two bugs

He sounds like a super cool guy to hang out with. I bet his D&D campaigns would rule.

Yuuki

> There is an urban myth going around that he "taught" Judi Dench to play D&D while they were filming The Chronicles of Riddick together. This is untrue. She already knew how to play D&D.

@twobugs Apparently, he tries to get the main cast of whatever movie he's working on into a D&D game.

two bugs

Hell yeah.

I wonder what edition he plays? Hopefully he's not a 3.5 purist.

I mean, I like 3.5, but I like the newer stuff too.

Yuuki

3:16 PM

I want to play some D&D, but I don't have much time during the week.

And I don't know people.

two bugs

Likewise, and likewise. I've thought about trying to find a group in my area but eh...

After some of my D&D experiences I'm a little wary of just going in blind to a new group.

Yuuki

My new comics store is also a D&D/other tabletop RPGs hub, but they're currently in the middle of a move.

Q: CoD 4: My Console COmmands won't work

I am just playing arround with cod4. I want to create a new movie cfg. When I am in multiplayer and load a new devmap like so: /devmap mp_mapname I can't get other commands to work. Everytime I insert a new command in the console and hit enter, it appears to be a new text-chat message. ca...

two bugs

There's a local game store that does video games and tabletop stuff by my workplace. Maybe I'll swing by there today

Yuuki

Apparently, tabletop RPGs rake in a lot more money than comics, so they're moving to a new location so they can host more games at once.

two bugs

3:18 PM

I like supporting them, it's just that the convenience of Amazon is hard to argue with. And the cash back.

Plus since they're not part of a chain they don't get some of the rarer special edition stuff (they didn't get ANY of the Smash Bros 4 ones, for example)

Yuuki

That's interesting.

two bugs

It says 1h ago for me

Arperum

1h for me too.

Yuuki

Now it turned to 1h.

I blame caching.

(I didn't refresh though)

djsmiley2k

I'm special!

Unionhawk

3:24 PM

Oh hey, my dedicated explorer was killed by a deathclaw

Yuuki

Y'know, I think @Wipqozn should change his name to @Caching if he's not going to go back to a turtle Gravatar. Would make things a lot easier for everyone.

djsmiley2k

dem dethclaws.

Unionhawk

two bugs

I'm really glad they added Deathclaws after I stopped playing

djsmiley2k

@Unionhawk were they also carrying medpacks?

Unionhawk

3:25 PM

Yes

They were out 40h

Yuuki

My guy died after being out for 3 days.

Unionhawk

He's got 0 stim 2 radaway left

djsmiley2k

WOOOOO

Unionhawk

back in 9h

djsmiley2k

One guy withdrew completely from putting an offer in on our house :(

Rapitor

3:25 PM

deathclaws aren't really that bad, they move through rooms fast

djsmiley2k

Another guy viewed today and wants to make an offer.

LOL

Yuuki

Took him pretty much an entire day to get back.

djsmiley2k

I don't understand how someone with 30 inhabitents only has 5 guns?

Rapitor

they just take a while to kill and cripple dwellers just so they cant handle another incident

Jason Berkan

@djsmiley2k They haven't sent out any explorers.

Yuuki

3:27 PM

I have sawed-off shotguns on pretty much all my dwellers. Hunting rifles if no shotgun.

Eat 5-7 x 6, Deathclaw!

djsmiley2k

@JasonBerkan ah

I have lazers, shotguns, enhanced hunting rifles

some have 11dmg

And my depot just burst into flames

and spread, yey

Yuuki

Yeah, I'm training some folks on Endurance so they can be stationed in my storage depot.

And they'll function as a second-line of defense since it's right next to my vault door.

Forza 6 is Gold @twobugs

two bugs

@Rapitor Yay! So excited

Rapitor

game went gold early, so they release a demo. good guy turn10

MadMAxJr

3:31 PM

~We're out of beta, we're releasing on time~

two bugs

Turn10 seems like they're trying really hard to make up for Forza 5, and it wasn't even bad.

Rapitor

forza 5 was fantastic, it just suffered from launchtitleitus

i can't wait to do nurburgring in the rain at night. i foresee much crashing

Jason Berkan

@Rapitor Can't wait. Heh. I despise Nurburgring.

Though I've never played Forza.

accurate opinion

Why was my question closed due to illegal content?

Isn't app stores on topic?

After all, steam is essentially an appstore

so is uplay, gog, or any other client

@Yuuki I'll go back to a Turtle gravatar when TWOW releases

Q: Does Amazon Underground have any catches?

The promise is of a library stocked with thousands of non-IAP games from popular developers. But it sounds far too good to be true. Is there any catch at all?

@Unionhawk still not been killed?

wtf

someone actually upvoted it too

Unionhawk

3:45 PM

I have no opinion.

Arperum

@djsmiley2k Is Amazon Underground an actual illegal appstore?

Unionhawk

Why do you feel it's "OMG URGENT DELETE"?

(because it isn't)

user15026

It's Amazon's new app store.

user15026

Download the apk (for Android), install, access whatever they have.

Arperum

Yea, I don't get the hate for the question.

Yuuki

3:47 PM

Because "Underground" is so four years ago.

Arperum

AFAIK there is nothing illegal about it.

Unionhawk

iirc, we have Play Store questions

user15026

It's not illegal, it's just Amazon trying to revamp their approach to grabbing a piece of the app store pie

Yuuki

"Food Truck" is the new "Underground".

Arperum

We have steam questions. We have origin questions.

casts reopen vote

I'm not going to vote on it, I don't like/dislike the question enough for that. It's just that it is on topic and incorrectly closed.

murgatroid99

3:49 PM

I'm not really sure what the question means, though. This is an official app store of a large company. What kind of "catch" would you expect there?

Q: Google Play Store - Off topic?

Inspired by this recent question: I cannot download games even though I have a lot of storage. I tried uninstalling my apps but it still did not work. Is there a way to fix this? A comment by MrLemon writes: I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it's a problem with...

discussion

Yuuki

A Close Vote is not a Super-Downvote, it's a Mega-Downvote.

Unionhawk

Nono, it's "a comment is a super delete vote"

user15026

@murgatroid99 well, there is that as well, but that's a separate thing from it getting closed as illegal/unreleased

Yuuki

@Unionhawk No, a comment is a super delete historical lock.

murgatroid99

3:50 PM

I voted to reopen, but I might vote to close again as unclear

Unionhawk

I'm on the fence. It definitely appears to be both released and legal, but I'm not sure about the issue of "mobile app store" particularly

Yuuki

I wonder how many questions are under historical lock on Lifehacks.SE?

Unionhawk

None, historical lock only really has a use-case on SO

Yuuki

It seems like something they'd abuse though.

user15026

I can't see there being a reason to historical lock anything on a relatively young site.

Is this like... a commonly done thing?

Me neither.

Oh, found it with a few seconds of Google poking.

20 seconds of googling was far to hard. Anyway, you can request it here however the site is rather out of date so good luck with that. gamexplab.nl/index.php?page=contact — djsmiley2k 2 mins ago

@djsmiley2k Can you tone down the passive aggressive sarcasm in site comments?

two bugs

It doesn't really seem like a recommendation to me, but it's not really on topic

StrixVaria

Your comment is actually useful, so it sucks that the other half of it is worded that way.

djsmiley2k

@StrixVaria can you close the question for being off topic?

StrixVaria

@djsmiley2k I'm still thinking about that part. In the meanwhile, passive aggression is also not really well-appreciated in chat.

djsmiley2k

But I am like that

That doesn't mean it makes for good discourse in a public setting.

I do think the "20 seconds of googling part" was unneeded. Yes, it's a little silly that they didn't run a google search before asking the question (or didn't search well enough), but I feel like that's what downvoting is for

@twobugs do me a favour

downvote the question

then follow the instructions

StrixVaria

@djsmiley2k This is stated factually. Yours was stated with an implication of you looking down at the OP for not doing it himself.

djsmiley2k

I am

:/

two bugs

I would phrase it more like "Have you checked this website? link"

user15026

@djsmiley2k Sometimes, though, you don't have to express that aloud.

but then people DON'T LEARN

user15026

@djsmiley2k You catch more flies with honey, etc.

StrixVaria

@djsmiley2k People learn better from those who aren't condescending.

djsmiley2k

@AshleyNunn wasps too

Kevin van der Velden

@AshleyNunn but you don't catch more flies with honey!

two bugs

Well, there are any number of things that could be going on. It's possible that the asker did in fact search, but used different terms or didn't use google.

StrixVaria

A general reaction to any condescension is to utterly dismiss anything that person says.

djsmiley2k

4:35 PM

@twobugs ... sigh

@StrixVaria their loss

user15026

@KevinvanderVelden The idiom might suck, but my point remains.

two bugs

I totally get what you're saying @djsmiley2k, I just think we should try to sugarcoat it

That's my 2cents

user15026

(Although you're right, I am more apt to get like....ants and stuff that way.)

djsmiley2k

lol someone can go ahead and make my comment into an answer if they want

I won't take that the wrong way

But I won't change who I am

StrixVaria

@djsmiley2k This is not a constructive attitude to have. Since you're vehemently defending being a jerk and missing the points that we're making, I'm going to issue you official warning to not be a jerk on the main site.

djsmiley2k

4:36 PM

k

I think all the people who downvote without giving any reason are jerks

but hey ho

user15026

@djsmiley2k That is a whole separate thing, unconnected to the current issue.

two bugs

@AshleyNunn To be fair, I kind of invited the comparison.

StrixVaria

@djsmiley2k Rather than try to fit the community to your paradigm of how communities should work, try learning the paradigms of the community and fitting in, or, alternatively, deciding that a community is not for you and seeking out one that is.

djsmiley2k

Once again we seem to value niceness over actual answers :/

StrixVaria

@djsmiley2k No, that's not it at all.

djsmiley2k

4:38 PM

that's how it feels

StrixVaria

We value both.

user15026

@djsmiley2k The two aren't mutually exclusive, is the thing.

two bugs

I think that's a good point @djsmiley2k, but I would say in comments we should always try to be polite for the sake of the community

In this case, you could say "Does this site work?" and then list the link

djsmiley2k

sigh

user15026

We can be nice people and still give people the info they are looking for.

StrixVaria

You can be factually correct and not be a jerk, in 100% of cases.

user15026

So do we all. :)

djsmiley2k

Questions that are answered by a 10 second google search really... aren't helpful

They (to me) feel as helpful as those pages which exist that are just copies of a mailing list

Rapitor

I think the point here Q&A can still be quality, and professional, on SE. otherwise Yahoo answers is your party

djsmiley2k

4:42 PM

so when you google that issue, you get 30+ pages of the same mailing list appearing, all with exactly the same content.

two bugs

@djsmiley2k Agreed. Although I'd argue that said question wasn't even really on topic for us anyway

@djsmiley2k This is the worst :(

djsmiley2k

Crap in, Crap out

@twobugs That's what it feels like we're doing with questions like the one I answered tho

THAT'S why I was sarcastic.

user15026

@djsmiley2k That's fine that you feel that way, but expressing that with passive agression isn't going to endear anyone to your position.

Rapitor

to deal with no research questions, provide them with the link and downvote, that's all

djsmiley2k

I didn't really want to answer it, but then I'm no better than the poster

:P

@AshleyNunn Hmmmm it's the internets, I've never really given a flying monkey what people think of me.

Rapitor

4:43 PM

I used to provide lmgtfy links, but that was frowned upon.

two bugs

Eh, for some of the common issues I can see your point. But I'd never seen a GEQ question so at least I learned something new

Even if it was something probably silly

djsmiley2k

yeah XD

GodEmperorDune

@Rapitor giving them the answer in any form only reinforces that they can get what they need by posting crap questions

djsmiley2k

I sense it's a Uni/College assignment by a professor who hasn't realised said material isn't really very wide spread.

user15026

@djsmiley2k That's fine, that's your prerogative, but understand not all communities are going to accept that sort of attitude.

djsmiley2k

@GodEmperorDune Amen. Crap in, Crap out.

@AshleyNunn Oh I know that :P

djsmiley2k

Rapitor

@GodEmperorDune that's why we downvote as well.

I think closed questions should be viewable to the asker (are they?)

wait, not closed, deleted.

Jason Berkan

Your questions are always viewable.

two bugs

4:45 PM

Well, he added an extra sentence. It at least supports my suspicion the asker doesn't speak English as their first language

user15026

@djsmiley2k So basically, what I am saying - it's cool that you think that sarcasm etc are the way to reach these people, but as a whole, this particular community doesn't roll with that particular attitude.

GodEmperorDune

downvotes only matter to regular site users, not people coming here from google or w/e

djsmiley2k

@GodEmperorDune yup

two bugs

I'm thinking about this more and I have seen people say we should "punish" bad questions and answers to them...

I don't really agree with that, but it makes me think.

Behaviorism

Behaviorism (or behaviourism) is a behavioral approach to psychology that combines elements of philosophy, methodology, and theory. It emerged methodologically in the early twentieth century as a reaction to "mentalistic" psychology, which often had difficulty making predictions that could be tested using rigorous experimental methods. The primary tenet of methodological behaviorism, as expressed in the writings of John B. Watson and others, is that psychology should have only concerned itself with observable events. There has been a drastic shift in behaviorist philosophies throughout the 1940s...

djsmiley2k

@GodEmperorDune It might be interesting that I'm quite autistic in certain traits, so maybe that's why I don't understand other peoples relucance to offend.

user15026

@djsmiley2k The presence of autistic traits is not a license to be rude to other people.

djsmiley2k

....sigh

no

but it explains why I don't understand your point.

I dont' feel I'm being rude to anyone.

Yes, but you can learn what is rude and follow those rules.

djsmiley2k

I didn't think it WAS rude.

Yuuki

@djsmiley2k That sounds less like autism and more like "f--k other people".

djsmiley2k

@Yuuki lol ok.

user15026

You understand that you are being passive aggressive, so you know what that looks like, and you are getting feedback from a community that that sort of thing isn't acceptable, thus you can attempt to edit the behaviour to match the mores of the community.

user15026

While you may not care what they think of you, you understand that you are using sarcasm and so on, so you can see those traits in your writing and edit them.

GodEmperorDune

4:54 PM

The reluctance to offend is also a way of making it more likely that the other person will listen to what you are saying rather than by getting defensive and upset

Q: Does the cost of reviving a dweller ever change? If so, how?

Yesterday I sent an explorer out to the wastes and he died at the end of the day. I paid 300 caps to revive him and brought him back. Today I sent him again and once more he will probably die (brilliant overseeing, eh?). Should I expect to fork over more caps today? If so, how much? In case it ...
