@djsmiley2k they added a ton of weapon skins and some people are salty
 
@Texenox Thanks for the support, but it is not me, it is someone else... with a hat!
 
@Blem Well too bad we're voting for you anyway.
 
I wish I had time to be a moderater, my life would be so much more relaxing then
 
@MBraedley Days where your boss doesn't come to the office are the absolute best days.
I actually usually wind up being more productive on those days.
 
@Sterno Agreed.
 
2:18 PM
Four more... hours?
 
The next time I sit down to play XCOM 2 I think I'm going to be trying my first blacksite mission.
I have a few guys with only a few days left until they're able to fight and then I can tackle the challenge.
 
Each of the sites I am on has a "How do I write a good answer?" page. Why not point them there? — Adam Zuckerman 11 hours ago
 
> This game is in your discovery queue because you own it.
 
Please note how literally the first two lines of my answer are talking about that page, and why I dislike it
 
@Yuuki Steam with the self-referential meta-troll.
 
2:20 PM
Also, the low vote numbers on that meta post is proof enough Lifehacks should be shutdown. Super important question, but the only person who seems to care enough to reply or vote is a mod and someone who thinks the site is a joke and should die.
 
The default gnome calculator that comes with Ubuntu is pretty terrible
 
A healthy and activate meta is important for any site
 
I just discovered you can crash it reliably by asking it to calculate the root of any negative number
 
@Wipqozn Finally starting Bands of Mourning.
 
Picture is just to get your attention, just wanted to remind you all that today is International Pancake Day
 
2:23 PM
@Blem So what you're saying is that I should go to IHOP?
 
@StrixVaria I've barely been reading.I blame video games, and alos that I've been in a "lie on catch and watch netflix" mood.
 
(Because no, IHOP's Pancake Day is the 28th.)
 
Or March 8.
These sources are confusing.
 
@Yuuki If you are to lazy to make your own panckaes yes, personally I'm visiting my friend who has been making pancakes since yesterday
 
2:25 PM
@Wipqozn Lion catch?
 
The IHOP thing is "National Pancake Day", I'm from Europe so I celebrate "International Pancake Day"
 
Which is really neat cc @AshleyNunn ^
But it seems you need really good drawing skills and a steady hand to get it right
 
@Blem I have a feeling that's only because Lent starts tomorrow.
 
@MBraedley That is how pancake day works.

Q: Steam mobile authenticator on a Windows phone

TheLethalCoderMy question is essentially the title, can you get a mobile authenticator on a Windows phone? Also related do you need the app for the mobile authenticator? I can't find any information either way but I think you do.

 
2:35 PM
When Steam says you need to authenticate through Steam guard now for trades, do they actually mean the Steam mobile app, or would the regular email authentication work too?
Quite sure it is the latter...
 
@PrivatePansy I think I might have something stuck in my eye
 
@badp Please, you can see it is certifiably genuine.
 
@badp What's stuck in your eye?
 
@Ronan A fork, probably
 
It's @badp. It has to be a spork
I don't know why, he just strikes me as the type to use sporks
 
2:39 PM
@Ronan it might be precious precious sweet precious precious sweet dear dear precious proud blood drops
 
@badp I was thinking TEARS!

Q: Is it possible to reach the Claptrap above Marcus's store in Fyrestone?

BorderfanI have been playing the first Borderlands game for quite some time now, and for the most part I have found it incredibly enjoyable. The gameplay of Roland, Lilith, Mordecai, & Brick stays varied enough to encourage playing as all four characters, and the 4 DLC packs (The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned,...

@Lazers2.0 The BL1 interface is so broken on PC that I can't go back to it. I tried it once after completing BL2.

Question titles shouldn't have the game name in them right?
 
i have window open at front and back creasing cross draft.
 
@KevinvanderVelden You don't need to force it in there, but they can be.
 
@Ronan an edit was suggested on my "How do I climb stairs" question, appending "in X-COM 2" to the title
I don't feel the need for it but wanted to check
 
3:13 PM
Thanks ebay, for making me pay 2x postal when I buy two of the same thing.
 
@KevinvanderVelden No then.

Q: Is Dr. Ned Dr. Zed in Disguise or is This Simply a Recurring Gag?

BorderfanWhile playing the Borderlands DLC, The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, I noticed that several of the different characters wanted to make it very clear, and I quote "This is Doctor Ned, who is totally not Dr. Zed in disguise." I was curious, is Dr. Zed actually the protagonist in Zombie Island, only in ...

Q: Is there a downside to killing civilians?

StudokuI encountered the dark event where Faceless appear on missions besides retaliation missions. I've found the most effective way to find faceless is to throw grenades at civilians. If they die, they were a civilian; if they survive, they're a faceless. Is there a downside to killing civilians in t...

Q: How can I tell when I should enter the portal?

DJ McGoathemI recently picked up "Risk Of Rain". I've only played a couple rounds, but each time I've been totally destroyed. Probably because I've tried entering the portal at level 6. What level/gear/equipment/abilities should I wait for before entering the portal?

Q: What should we do about piracy-specific-bug questions?

ardaozkalA flag just came in to the close queue, and I thought about it a lot. As you might know, some games add an intended bug/glitch to the game if they detect that the game was pirated. This is usually never an issue on actual games. Here are some examples: Batman Arkham Asylum: Legit copy: Ill...

Q: Is there a way to have an Implacable Ranger not have to move after a kill?

DarthPizzaImplacable is a Scout Ranger ability that gives them a single bonus move for the turn after making a kill during that turn. Is there a way to have your ranger stay in his/her current location when Implacable activates, instead of moving to a new tile? I always seem to be forced to move to a new ...

 
What sucks, however, is that I ended up having to refresh my PC again on Windows 10 to get everythign to work properly.
Which meant that Samsung Update ended up being gone completely and I had to manually install it.

@Chippies but it says "stop" on the road. That turkey is really smart, as it can clearly read!
 
@Chippies lol i wonder if thats the sheep behaviour at work
sheep always run away from a car directly, never going for the hedge... beccause they believe they'll never make it in time
if you back off, the sheep leave the road
 
@djsmiley2k that's an interesting thing to know
 
yup
sheep can do triganomirty
:D
If you tyhink about it, it does make sense
 
lol
 
running in straight line is the best way to maximise distance from the 'hunter'
they don't realise the hunter can't follow them off road.

Q: another way to break the game

Clammychimera6another way to break the game is with restock, blank card, sun card, blood bank card(forget what its called) and a battery in shop. or youll prob get habbit/sharp plug from doing this AFTERBIRTH ONLY

 
sweet boi question though, real high quality
 
5:01 PM
@StrixVaria Just remember it has no time limit.
 
@nukeforum wot
 
@Texenox /sarcasm <-forgot that
 
@Wipqozn If I told you I was about to play XCOM2, would you be jelly?
 
@nukeforum Oh, you were referring to that one above.
 
@Sterno I'm jelly. that game looks so cool, but I don't think I would enjoy it at all :\
 
5:02 PM
@Sterno Oh, cool, thanks for the tip.
 
@Texenox Yeah, sorry, I kind of phase in and out of conversation
 
@nukeforum That's not a problem.
 
@StrixVaria It's important since it has like 28 enemies to kill and it's really easy to pull too many at once if you're used to rushing from previous missions
 
You could have at least pinged Lazers, though.
 
@Texenox will-do next time
 
5:04 PM
@Sterno Wow not much room for mistake there.
 
Some of the XCom 2 soldiers become utter rockstars of combat with their hidden potential skills.
Had a sniper get chain shot off the grenadier tree.
 
Blast Padding is nice if you get it free.
 
It's awesome when a Gatekeeper or a Sectopod crashes through a wall on a blacksite raid, creating a much needed exit for you.
I got a Sectopods like to chase snipers, target them with the ultimate death beam, then obliterate the roof off the building the sniper was on.
 
I parsed "Blast Pudding" at the start and am now disappointed.
 
5:20 PM
@Sterno We wouldn't really know until you told me
 
@Wipqozn I'm about to play XCOM2
 
@GraceNote Sadly it is not an explosion of flavor.
 
@Sterno hmmmm
A little jealous
 
I'm finding early game easy if I just load up with grenadiers
 
Early game, grenades can make or break a battle.
 
5:21 PM
I need to start actually playing XCOM EU
I have it installed
 
Especially for timed missions when it's faster to go through a building than around it
 
I got plate armor, then pushed to plasma weapons. Did okay until I got the powered armor and I'm now toe to toe with the aliens.
 
No XCOM2 is not an option for me for reasons I have already covered
 
@Unionhawk Cowardice?
 
XCOM EU or XCOM EU w/ Long War, highly recommended.
 
5:22 PM
Oh hey @wipqozn how badly have I dieded?
 
Because I haven't played XCOM EU and I shouldn't be buying a full price game right now
 
Haven't played it? Oh. Don't get Long War just yet then.
 
@GraceNote uh, I don't remember. It's been a bit since your character popped up in a campaign.
 
Ahha
 
You were one of my earliest creations and deaths thoguh
 
5:23 PM
There should really be 2 @GraceNote's in xcom, one male and one female
 
@MadMAxJr Yeah, I bought XCOM EU in winter sale 2013 or whatever
 
I'm not both
 
Never played it
 
@GraceNote chances are you'll only get one =p
 
Or maybe @GraceNote is two people?
No, wait, no that's dumb
 
5:24 PM
To me, I'm actually far less offended for having just one be there if it's arguably "wrong" (even though that's not a thing) than I am if there's two, one for each.
 
@GraceNote ??
 
In the sense that I'm not offended at all in the former
 
Or just make an army of @GraceNote
 
Gracebots
 
Robot armies are cool.
Especially if each is jammed packed with explosives
 
5:26 PM
That might be the joke for my XCOM EU, just make an army of one bridge person
 
@Unionhawk The trick is to steal it, then act like you're doing the developer a favor by taking the time to play their game, and maybe even email them asking them to pay you for the free publicity you're giving them
 
No I'm not a filthy pirate
And torrents do not work on campus
 
@Unionhawk Repeat after me: "It's their fault for not having a demo!"
 
58 secs ago, by Unionhawk
And torrents do not work on campus
 
@Grace Note Unrelated to here, I apologize for whatever debate RPG.SE is about to try and get you to weigh in on. That site isn't particularly healthy.
 
5:28 PM
If you can't find a way around that, you don't deserve the eyepatch and parrot.
 
The mod conflict thing?
 
And I'm not sitting in starbucks to pirate XCOM2 when I could just play XCOM EU
 
I'm going to weigh in on it, silently or otherwise, regardless - kinda my job, y'know

Q: /summon Item not working

KJBuildsI've recently asked another question related to this, but I'm making an adventure map, and at some points in the game, I need there to be items on the ground (there's a shrine thing with lightning, and its cool), but when I use the /summon command, it always ends up as stone. Here's what I've use...

 
There's some meta drama somewhere and no one told me?
 
@GraceNote I know you will, you've been pretty good at your job. It's just not a pleasant situation and people are going to sling terse words and blame. Good luck. They've actually had this problem for over a year. Anyway, not really chatter for here, just wishing you luck.
 
Man, does every chatroom I decide to visit have a messed up problem of some sorts?
First Anime.SE and now RPG.SE.
 
@Yuuki is the harbinger of doom
 
Well then in that case there is only one clear solution
We have to @Yuuki

Now, who's closest to @Yuuki?
 
@Yuuki plz let me know how it is
 
Death by playing the entire Steam greenlight queue.
 
5:35 PM
I actually don't know
 
my stupidity prevents me from playing the game

Q: How do I earn the Level 61 cap in Borderlands?

@StrixVaria So... audiobooks?
 
They're great for reading at work.
@Yuuki Wow no.
 
@StrixVaria Like the start-to-crate stuff?
guess that doesn't really count
 
@StrixVaria I was making a bad joke about being old and text-based Let's Plays being books.
 
yeah nvm
 
Firewatch 30% downloaded
Must be a small game. I just bought it 2 min ago
 
@Sterno My word
Gave up on XCOM 2 ?
 
5:45 PM
Of course not
 
Too hard for you?
 
@StrixVaria I've been reading this Dark Souls let's play and the DS2 followup
 
Grrr I'm jealous
I can't afford to buy games
 
@murgatroid99 This will do nicely. Thank you.
 
@Wipqozn YOU ASKED FOR IT
 
5:45 PM
firewatch pls
 
@Sterno I deserve this.
 
Of course, that stops my preload
I AM OKAY WITH THIS
I'm 8 days out from Plated Armor and then taking the BlackSite. Still 0 dead. Only 2 have ever been wounded
 
@Sterno you can manually resume it
 
Having an engineer/scientist shortage though
@GnomeSlice Excellent
It's only a 1.4GB game

Q: How do I save a soldier in the Nick of Time?

Sumurai8The achievement "Nick of Time" has the following description: I had it occur to me once, and saved this soldier by killing all hostiles and completing the objective. The achievement did not unlock however. What is the specific trigger for this achievement?

 
@Sterno Do you think upgraded weapons/armor are terribly important for the Blacksite mission?
 
@StrixVaria I see no reason to try to do it before you have them
 
That counter at the top of the screen is intimidating.
I guess I can put it off for a while, though...
 
Yeah, but it removes one pip. That's it. It removes one pip if there's only three pips, and it removes one pip if there are 20 pips
I don't think it existing increases the rate the track fills
(I could be wrong)
 
5:49 PM
How else can you remove pips? The game has been adding them at a pretty aggressive rate.
 
And even if the track fills, you get a few weeks to knock it down a peg
 
But yeah, ok, I will be more patient, both in the overworld and in the missions.
(I say now.)
 
@StrixVaria I don't know. But it would be largely irrelevant for me since I don't have the infrastructure to extend to any of the other advent bases
Completing this one doesn't open anything up
Keep in mind that right around that point is when I keep restarting campaigns, so I may have no idea what I'm talking about :)
I keep digging down to the power coil in my base before buying a power relay station (because I want it to be +10 instead of +3), which delays my radio communications
 
@Sterno I didn't even know this was a thing, but I was thinking that a +3 power station seems a bit on the low end.
 
In one campaign I got something like +3 or +5 power from a mission (or maybe a hack, even) too
 
5:52 PM
Oh, interesting.
 
From what I understand there are other ways to get power too
 
I will keep my eyes open for that kind of stuff.
 
I'm not sure if any other buildings get bonuses depending on where you build them, or if it's just power
I've also restarted enough now to realize that continent bonuses are random
 
I think I'm already done with Diablo 3
kind of what i figured
 
Yeah, I got +3 power from a mission.

Q: Can Engineers die?

BlueRaja - Danny PflughoeftI'm working on a mod, and I noticed this in the XCOM 2 codebase: if(Engineer.IsAnEngineer() && !Engineer.IsDead()) (Read "If the unit is an engineer and not dead...") Uh... can Engineers die in this game? Because it's pretty important for the correct functioning of my mod that they cannot.
