Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn noo

ardaozkal

that is the purpose of the game

Also after many scripts, I've managed to replicate porkchat on firefox.

Kevin van der Velden

Make dinner and then play overwatch with me :D

Wipqozn

@KevinvanderVelden I need to clean to make dinner, becaue it's my kitchen that's dirty.

Unionhawk

I've got like, an hour to go before I'll be on >_>

@Mazura no idea. it popped up in recently active so i answered it

I'm tempted to just have instant oatmeal for supper because I'm lazy

I edited an answer because it had a link that was just "Click me!"

Wipqozn

Let's see if I can get by without needing to clean my kitchen

Mazura

8:03 PM

@Dragonrage Ah. And the other answer was first. It was voted-to-order. Consider it "consensusatized" (by the four people who care). Let it ride if you're unsure, and bump in chat a few more times.

I'm headed to the gym after work anyway so no Overwatch for me for a while

Dragonrage

@djsmiley2k shots fired

Unionhawk

@twobugs You should totally join us after tho

two bugs

And I have to swing by the pharmacy but they close early so I have to take a dumb route to the gym

Dragonrage

where is the reinhardt to protect us?

@Dragonrage I think @Unionhawk should be fired.

8:06 PM

@Unionhawk Yoda?

ardaozkal

oh nice

porkchat looks better with dark theme enabled but the font disabled

two bugs

Better than how people try to ask Yoda questions on SFF in "Yoda speak" but they all suck so it ends up being caveman Yoda

djsmiley2k

caveman yoda, lovei t.

ardaozkal

(which is not possible on chrome unless you disable the theme from settings and manually install the theme then edit the css)

Dragonrage

@djsmiley2k well that nice. at least he gets something other than fired

why is it setting it to null

when it should be setting it to the bound value

what is this

@Unionhawk we can only rubber duck with more context

Unionhawk

why is this

ardaozkal

unless they have their phone with them, it will be okay

8:12 PM

On top of my checkbox issues, since APPARENTLY the default behavior is to not be checkable

two bugs

Checkboxes are dumb

I hate working with checkboxes

Kevin van der Velden

This brawl is dumb

Unionhawk

and APPARENTLY "that's the default behavior you can change it but I forget how please mark this as resolved" is an acceptable answer on the Microsoft forum thing

two bugs

For something so simple, the implementation is usually awful

ardaozkal

@Unionhawk GL. WPF is good but it isn't reasonable all the time.

user139252

8:13 PM

@ardaozkal C'mon czar!

Kevin van der Velden

Only genji and hanzo

Mazura

@Dragonrage More importantly, what's the question at? 9/X ? I'd DV it because I think they should all be separate tags, but I don't "play tag", so meh. ("What if another game has zergs? Then what?") <straw slurping noise>

Unionhawk

That's really the worst part about this whole situation

two bugs

It could be worse

Unionhawk

they could be telling me to use jQuery instead?

two bugs

8:14 PM

The Microsoft forum thing could end with "hope this helps :)....xD"

Dragonrage

@Mazura its at 9/0

committing sudoku

Quick ques

ardaozkal

@TheBrownOne lag. Forgot my bittorrent open

committing sudoku

any of you played FF7 on steam

Unionhawk

@twobugs Nah, "please mark this as the right answer" is pretty much the worst esp when it's NOT AN ANSWER

ARGH

8:16 PM

lol

AURHFHHG

Mazura

@committingsudoku I can tell you everything about 8. Nothing about 7.

committing sudoku

Nah it's okay, thank you though

Mazura

You sure? I could talk about 8 all day ;)

user4704

@Unionhawk I like when the MVPs come along, post, and mark their totally ignorant post as the answer.

Unionhawk

Oh cool, they do the Yahoo Answers thing?

I guess that makes more sense than some totally dumb answer getting marked as accepted equivalent by the asker

Mazura

8:22 PM

There should be a banner at the top: "The community does not agree with the accepted answer." (has more UVs)

Oh wait, self answers kinda do that already.

Any post with more votes is always above an accepted self-answer.

The problem is when two or more idiots agree ;)

two bugs

Well if it's an answer accepted by the asker...

djsmiley2k

on the internet.... that's kinda. life.

two bugs

Then, you know... they thought it answered their question. Which is the point of a QA site

Unionhawk

Yes

That I can accept

That's fine

two bugs

Unless you mean the MVP self-accepted their own answer

Unionhawk

8:25 PM

Since usually accepted answers by askers are not garbage

two bugs

Which is fuct

@Wipqozn what are you talking about?

idk who the other person is

mikeTheLiar

Trying to remember the name of a game and it's driving me nuts. JRPG, turn based squad combat, played on XBox 360. Basic premise was main PC had lost his memory (was also quite old IIRC?) and you had to travel out and find them. Included some very annoying children as members of your party. Came on multiple disks. Any guesses?

ardaozkal

@Ohnana long time no see

Ohnana

8:41 PM

i got the randomest ping evar

9 hours ago, by Wipqozn

To be honest I feel like @Ohnana omg @committingsudoku plese make your site names the same this is the worst. You did this to troll me specifically. I know it.

^^ wat

Dragonrage

@Ohnana the other guy is retrosaur

Ohnana

okay

but why was my name plucked out of the ether

did i do something wrong :(

Dragonrage

as to why @wip pinged you, no one knows

Mazura

What's a good program to use to find out where my bottleneck is, for playing Fallout4? I don't really want to stress test it, I'm kinda wary of those, but are they the way to go?

Ohnana

although if they feel like me, we might want to give them a hug and a beer lol

mikeTheLiar

8:43 PM

@Mazura what sort of bottleneck?

Dragonrage

@Ohnana what about a bug and a heer?

Mazura

@mikeTheLiar Like, is it my processor, memory, or GPU?

Ohnana

@Mazura pop open the task manager while playing, that will rule out memory bottlenecking and CPU bottlenecking

like, if one of your cores is getting thrashed and the other n-1 are like "wow, this is boring" then you know it's not threading properly

Mazura

From what I understand 100% cpu doesn't always mean it's a BN.

Ohnana

true, but it means you should look at it more closely

djsmiley2k

8:44 PM

it's a start

mikeTheLiar

What are you trying to fix? Like general slowness, choppiness, frame rate, tearing?

Mazura

Well, dual core and 8gigs prob isn't the best...

Chippies

@Mazura what's your specs?

Ohnana

....that's the rig i play on

mikeTheLiar

That's at the lower end of what FO4 requires, yes

Mazura

8:45 PM

@mikeTheLiar I'd like to increase some settings, and still get good FPS.

mikeTheLiar

What's your GPU?

Chippies

@Mazura there's far too many dual core processors that vary in performance by orders of magnitudes

if you could tell us your cpu and gpu, we can probably immediately identify the bottleneck

Mazura

HD 7700. E8400 Dual core 3gh. no OC.

Wipqozn

@Ohnana Pinged the wrong person.

Ohnana

lol okay

Chippies

8:47 PM

@Mazura the cpu is your bottleneck

Wipqozn

@Ohnana Nice to meet you! I like your avatar.

Ohnana

thanks for hooking me into this hive of scum and villany

Chippies

it's just not up there with modern cpu's anymore

Ohnana

THANKS.

Dragonrage

@Ohnana THANKS @OHNANA

Chippies

8:48 PM

also Fallout 4 is somewhat cpu intensive

Ohnana

Also HOLY SHIT OPEN NOTES ONLINE FINAL EXAM

mikeTheLiar

The 7700 isn't exactly top of the line anymore either

Ohnana

HELL YEA

/flappy arms

Chippies

@mikeTheLiar eh, it should be enough to run at 30'ish fps on medium-low settings

and I'm being on the safe side here, as I'm sure it can do a lot better than that

Mazura

@Chippies I was afraid of that ;) I just don't know what to upgrade to next. I'd sure would like an octa-core, but is that really necessary?

Chippies

8:49 PM

@Mazura no, it's not. Anything more than a good core i5 is an overkill for gaming

mikeTheLiar

Unless you're running software that takes advantage of multiple cores it doesn't really buy you a whole lot

GHz are a more important thing to consider these days

Chippies

4 core + hyperthreading i7 can get you more fps in some games, but if you're not made of money, it's not worth the extra costs just for gaming

@mikeTheLiar architecture is more important

his 3ghz 6+ years old cpu can't compete with a modern <2ghz mobile cpu

Mazura

What would be the first processor that would make my GPU the bottle neck? Any i5?

Yea, ghz never meant nothing ;\

Chippies

@Mazura if you're tight on budget, but want something decent for a couple years, the skylake's i3 is pretty good for low cost gaming

mikeTheLiar

@Chippies I was thinking more apples to apples

Dragonrage

8:51 PM

i need to upgrade my cpu, gpu, and my ram

Chippies

i5-6600k is the recommended gaming cpu, but it's more costly

Dragonrage

also my mb

mikeTheLiar

Like, these two AM3+ - one has two more cores but the other has 2 more GHz

Dragonrage

not sure if that 1080 will fit in my case though, or if it is worth getting for me

Chippies

you could probably go with i5-4670k or i5-4690k so you can re-use your ram

Mazura

8:52 PM

My socket is maxed out I think.

Chippies

@Dragonrage as unclear it may be from the gpu name, it's a bit much for 1080p gaming

Dragonrage

@Chippies yea, that what i was thinking. i could probably get a cheaper one and be fine

i tihnk i have a 290 atm

iirc

Chippies

the 1070 is gonna provide you with great value, although for more budget friendly options I'd wait and see what the performance of AMD Polaris gpu's is, as they have promised a VR-ready (r9 390 and above levels of performance) gpu for 199$

@Dragonrage is 290 not enough for you?

(I'm assuming you're talking AMD r9 290, not nvidia gtx 290)

(I'm not sure if nvidia even had a gtx 290)

Dragonrage

@Chippies no, it cant handle encoding of games to stream them when i play, if im playing a graphic intensive game

Chippies

@Dragonrage encoding is generally done on the cpu

Dragonrage

8:56 PM

is it? i should really learn more about hardware

my i3 probably isnt helping anything then

Chippies

if you want a cpu that can handle streaming well, you should look into i7's

Mazura

@Chippies My ram is from the budget-bucket-bin. Maybe I should do a stress test.

Chippies

even i5 will be slowed down by streaming

@Mazura stress tests don't show bottlenecks, they just test for system stability

Mazura

So what then, I'm stuck with checking task manager?

Dragonrage

my current build pcpartpicker.com/list/wk3mf7 i think my main thing is i need a better cpu and more ram

ardaozkal

8:58 PM

@GnomeSlice this on the last one you linked is epic sleepersawake.bandcamp.com/track/saint-condemned-2

user139252

Sorry you got bored D=

Chippies

9:01 PM

@Dragonrage if you're a reasonable PC user, 8gb should be enough for gaming. The cpu and gpu is pretty balanced, but for streaming you will want at least an i5, but i7 is recommended, as you can dedicate more threads to encoding without taking away from the game performance

if you're upgrading cpu and mobo, you may as well upgrade to skylake and get ddr4 ram as well

ardaozkal

Q: Is there a way to view the current close votes on a question without voting yourself?

Sometimes I run across a question that has close votes, and I don't really have any idea why. Apparently the person who left the vote thought it was pretty clear, because they didn't leave a comment. When this happens, I'd like to view the close votes to see what reason they used. This can be he...

Q: How to manually add Sims 3 to Origin Launcher when already installed?

I installed Sims 3 a few years ago and I didn't play it for a year, so Origin needed to update. I also needed to log in to my Origin account but I don't know my email, password or ID anymore, so I made a new one, but that account doesn't have Sims 3 in the launcher. Since it was already installed...

@murgatroid99 so is the agenda the github issues list or like a backlog review or roadmap or what?
