Gives you an extra bonus ability
 
and fallen 20 ilvl behind the other raiders due to no rng luck
 
You can't reroll crew at all IIRC
 
@twobugs ah, didn't know that some crews were more rare
 
Yup, and some are way better than others
 
I got a murloc submarine, it's kinda neat
 
2:01 PM
I don't know what the alliance equivalent is but Goblin Crew gives you huge gold bonus
 
murloc ships have the best names
 
So, you know, reroll for that
 
i'm thinking about transferring horde for this expansion
been alliance since vanilla, might be time to try out something new
 
Your hunk is now this pear.

@twobugs It's fun, and improved from the orignal launch. I think they still need to do some balancing around monster gameplay (need to be a little stronger IMO), but overall it's good. I'd definitely it check out if you're interested, because, well it's free.
 
2:02 PM
 
Is there any point to the rustling grass in PokeGo? cc: @Unionhawk @fredley
 
@Chippies My favorite ship of mine is the Brglgrlrgl Mk II
 
@Chippies supposedly higher chance of pokéman spawns
 
@SaintWacko yeah, I got that one too
 
@Chippies There is a question on the main site about it.
 
2:03 PM
@fredley I could've sworn that if I clicked on the rustling grass as it was rustling, it would spawn a pokemon, but I haven't been able to replicate it since
every morning I would come home from work and tap on rustling grass in the driveway and a pokemon would spawn
and then I told my coworkers about it and none of us could replicate it
 
@Chippies you can tap it?!?
 
I should've kept it to myself
@fredley well, Idk, I haven't been able to replicate it
it worked couple days ago
 
cnr
 
@Chippies I tried that just to see ages ago when my character was standing on top of grass, did nothing
 
unless it was a very odd coincidence on multiple occasions
 
2:05 PM
My rustling grass is just leaves blowing away. :(
It never sticks around longer than a second.
 
@Frank yeah, that's the grass I'm talking about
 
All this rustling, and you still leave me
 
@Chippies How do you even know something is there? I can never get to them quick enough to do anything.
 
when I first started playing, if I clicked on the grass as it rustled, before the leaves were gone, it would spawn a pokemon. I thought it was normal, so I never paid attention to it until last night when I told others about it and neither of us could replicate it
@Frank they often rustle within the circle
 
@Chippies Not for me they don't.
 
2:07 PM
@Frank they do it for me, especially when I'm in the driveway
and last night in the break room it rustled within the circle many times, but tapping did nothing
 
@badp clear

pls
 
you are cordially invited
 
2:11 PM
The 61 year old woman who runs the company library is playing Pokemon GO, and when I told her my phone couldn't run it says "What do you have, a vintage phone?". Then I showed it to her and she goes "oh my god you have a vintage phone."
13
I know she's 61 because she said "I've got a better phone than you and I'm a 61 year old woman!"
5
 
Old people make fun of @Wipqozn's phone, and that's great
3
 
@twobugs :(
 
I mean, @Sterno makes fun of @Wipqozn's phone all the time
 
@KevinvanderVelden Yeah but this is an actual older person and not an internet meme older person
 
2:13 PM
Same thing
 
@Wipqozn Meanwhile, my 58 year old father with an iPhone 6Plus thinks it's a dumb game because he can't throw a pokeball
 
@Chippies oh, and it's GBP, so I get an extra discount in EU
3
 
@Wipqozn I mean, @Sterno is older... than all of us now
I think
Right? Yeah
 
Everyone older than him is dead now
 
2:15 PM
RIP
 
meanwhile, my 58 year old mum recently asked me "if I turn off my phone, will I still get calls?"
 
Can I buy from BundleStars if I live somewhere else than the UK or the US?
I mean, I don't want to lose the game I bought because I don't live within the right 10% of the world
#Bosnia activists warn #PokemonGo users not to stray into mine fields left over from its 1992-95 independence war https://t.co/ysuIjEjd9D
 
@Nzall Damn. That's sobering
I remember reading there's a place where people planted all these mines and it's difficult and expensive to remove all of them so they're still around. But for wildlife like Penguins, who aren't heavy enough to set them off, it's a godsend
 
What, so polar bears trying to eat them get blown up or something?
No, seriously
 
That'd be brilliant
 
2:22 PM
@Unionhawk forcefeeds @uni to a polarbear on the southpole
 
@Unionhawk polar bears don't live on the same hemisphere as penguins

Q: Is there any evidence that Niantic is adding pokestops?

SidneyOk, so a few days niantic opened up a form on their website to add pokestops if there aren't any near you. I tried doing this about six hours after it opened, and was met with a "we're no longer accepting suggestions" response email. This makes sense because I'm certain with the popularity of the...

Q: How to make pokemon spawn? (no incent on lures)

user156811I am on vacation to countryside and I will stay there for a while. The problem is that I want to catch some pokemon and I ran out of incent, there are no pokestops and b.c. I am only one playing pokemon go pokemon won't spawn. I tried keeping the phone on till I lose all battery power. Radar is a...

 
@Unionhawk People don't come and steal there habitat.
 
2:23 PM
@Ronan Same thing
 
@Unionhawk @JasonBerkan was older until he left us forever
 
@Unionhawk No, the island is avoided by people so the penguins just chill
 
@Wipqozn Yup
@twobugs I see
 
IMF cuts global growth forecasts yet again. Thanks @fredley
 
Thanks @fredley
 
2:26 PM
@fredley is such a jerk
 
Why did I commit to housework? This seems like a ploy to make me do housework.
 
Apparently McDonalds will sponsor Pokemon Go in Japan
 
@twobugs Well, they had to do something to appease the 20yo demographic after banning porn on their networks
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz might be older too. I'm not sure how old he is, but I think it's earl 30s?
 
2:27 PM
10% committed!
 
Ok i did some science

Q: How many pokemons can I catch daily in Pokemon Go?

Juan O SI have noticed that after about 14 catches in a single day, when I try to catch a new Pokemon, It runs away. Has this happened to someone else?

 
@fredley 41% commitment score
 
25 pokemon limit
 
@KevinvanderVelden I am 10% of that I think
No wait, 5
 
Dear housework, I need to get 5 liters of blood out of a carpet. How can I do this without resorting to lifehacks?
2
 
2:30 PM
 
@MadMAxJr get a new carpet
 
Testing that took some cheating to do but still, there most definitely is a limit
 
@GnomeSlice sooo, he wants to ban people from america?
 
@KevinvanderVelden hue
 
2:31 PM
Apparently people are getting 100km togepi eggs
 
@arda No, cheating might have caused a softban, which results in pokemon running away all the time (orso I've read somewhere)
 
@fredley wat
 
6 secs ago, by Unionhawk
@fredley wat
 
Are 100 km eggs a thing or did you typo?
 
Yeah, GPS manipulation results in evasive pokemon.
 
2:32 PM
> countries that harbor or train terrorists
 
100km as in 100km or 100km as in 10km
2
 
@Arperum hmm possible
 
What, so like, France, UK and Belgium?
@Unionhawk 100km
 
wat
 
It happened after 25 catches tho
 
2:32 PM
@Unionhawk For certain values of "100km"
 
@fredley Is there a country that does not have a single terrorist inside it's borders?
 
@fredley no no no, see, those aren't real terrorists, because they're wh- --err, whacky!
 
@Arperum Iceland?
 
@Arperum Yes, Trumplandia
 
@Wipqozn you mean like those Whacky Nazis?
 
2:34 PM
@fredley Do you have proof for that?
 
Terrorlandia is oddly free of terrorists.
 
best image
 
@Arperum They have about 300K people on their entire island, they don't have any real activities in other warzones and they're mostly neutral
 
2:35 PM
Wait, I got one
 
@Nzall Does not guarantee anything. It's a good cover.
 
Lifehacks doesn't have any terrorists
 
@Arperum My point is that they don't have any reasons to have terrorists
 
@twobugs They are terrorists by definiton
 
Like, they don't have any involvement in the Iraqi war or anything
 
2:36 PM
 
@Nzall Yes, I agree, doesn't provide proof for them not having them.
 
@fredley No not that INF, the other INF
 
They don't even have an army, armed forced, very little crimes and are actually quite stable politically
 
@fredley ajax loader worst image
 
Hmm Seagate is unveiling 10 TB consumer HDDs
 
2:39 PM
Hmmmm
 
That seems slightly excessive for most usage
 
@twobugs want...
 
@twobugs Notify me when they have 10 TB SSDs
 
@Nzall Okay, see you in 10-15 years!
 
2:39 PM
!RemindNzall 10 years
 
I mean, you're losing about 20% of your storage because you need to keep that much open space
 
There are reasonably priced 500gb SSDs now. That's enough for my needs
 
and when you got all your games installed on your SSD, you end up with an SSD that's full enough that you have to regularly uninstall games
 
@twobugs Fraps is a potential use, but Fraps files are enormous
 
2:41 PM
@twobugs Yeah, people aren't ever going to need more than 4kb of RAM
 
@Nzall I don't mind this, it forces me to finish games or discard them
 
Most games these days are 30-40 GB, so with about 20 games, it's full
 
@Nzall for defragmentation? Not really you just need a few times the biggest size file you have
 
@fredley THAT'S NOT WHAT I SAID SHUT UP
 
@KevinvanderVelden No, for speed concerns
 
2:41 PM
@twobugs It's basically what you said
 
This company, oh man
 
@Nzall Yep. I now have this problem.
 
4th point on that list
you can only fill to about 75% capacity
so on a 1 TB SSD like I have, that's 750 GB
or about 15-20 games
 
Olympics is in two weeks, so they're asking "so whta should we do for the olympics?". I wonder if they realize other news companies have had this planned...welll, probably since the 2014 olympics ended.
 
2:43 PM
as far as broadcasting goes exclusive rights are established for a long time
And to be fair this is a summer, so it could be worse, you could be ill prepared for a winter
in canada
 
@Wipqozn lol, rekt
 
lol, so apparently the deployment last night decided it didn't want to build correctly
that's cool
(working now)
 
@Wipqozn oh buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurn
 
@Nzall oh I thought you were talking about HDDs
 
@Wipqozn hue
@twobugs that is a good plan
oh no i'm responding to all my pings, i'm turning into @Wipqozn
 
2:58 PM
@sequoiad that seems like a bad idea
More in less is usually powerful and vulnerable to damage

Q: Ingress factions: only appears to be one group in my city

superinkieI'm trying to sign up for Ingress and choose a faction. I like the idea of playing for the underdog to try and balance things out, but there literally appears to be only one faction in my city. The Ingress map shows a score of 818 for one team and 0 for the other. If I join the 0 team, will I jus...

Q: Eggs and CP scaling

MorniakWild / hatched Pokemon CP is scaled on the level off the player but for eggs, will the scaling be done at the time I find the egg or at the time I hatch it.

 
A short walk around the neighborhood netted me about a half dozen pokemon.
Even if the footprint system is busted.
And it burned through about half my battery life.
 
@GodEmperorDune I can assure you I don't respond to all my pings. I ignore quite a few, bebecause I get so many, and a lot of them are nonsense.
 
@Wipqozn bebecause best cause.
 
3:08 PM
are you accusing me of pinging you with nonsense @Wipqozn
 
@Frank Get a 10k mah battery
 
@GodEmperorDune oh my
 
mostly just when I get a random ping for some reason, that I go, and there's nothing to really reply to.
 
note to self, bombard @Wipqozn with random pings later
 
3:11 PM
@fredley This image bothers me. The bird on the left isn't a good representation. Birds are usually fairly light because they have hollow bones.
@GodEmperorDune I regret nothing
 
@fredley wat
how can it be so light?
 
22 hours ago, by Frank
My replacement mobile batteries arrived today.
22 hours ago, by Frank
Yay for a total of 40000 mAh of battery!
 
@Frank I assume you didn't order that through Best Buy? (I'm so sorry but I couldn't resist)
 
@Wipqozn Pfft.
Amazon.
Totally would've ordered the 3DS through them, too, but they were out.
 
3:14 PM
Man, the tropical Amazon ships things faster thn best buy

Q: Why do some of my duplicate pokemon have different higher special attack points in pokemon go?

James s.Why do i have different special attacks on some of my duplicate pokemon. Today i got another vapreon and noticed the cp was way higher but the special attack points were way lower?!? Is there a way to fix this or do you just get what you get?

 
@fredley pikachu is going strong
The other one knows nothing
Black has more corners while white has one.
Pikachu is playing defensively which is good for go

3:35 PM
My computer parts are out for delivery!
 
@Ash Yay!
Delivery stuff sorted out?
 
user15026
@fredley I hope so. I have left the upstairs people a million messages.
 
@Ash crossers finged
 
user15026
Thanks. If it all walks away or something I will be annoyed. I mean if they can't deliver it and I have to go get it from Purolator that's a different problem.
 
@Ash Purolator is being a jerk to me right now.
 
user15026
3:38 PM
I am impressed at how quickly it was shipped and here. I just ordered it like... What, Saturday?
 
user15026
@Frank oh?
 
@Ash my headcanon is that your existing computer is named purgolator and it is hatching a plan to hide your components amongst its own
 
@Ash Ordered that new 3DS last week. Best Buy shipped it on Thursday, and...it's stuck in Toronto, according to them. But said it would be delivered yesterday.
Talked to a rep today who was just, "Yup. Delays. It happens. Look again tomorrow."
 
My Overwatch hat doesn't get here for like another week
 
Very unhelpful.
 
user15026
3:45 PM
@GodEmperorDune if I remember right that machine got named when everything was getting MLP names so I think it is Zecora
 
user15026
And I mean I am using its optical drive in my new build, so part of it will live on.
 
user15026
@Frank do you not have tracking?

Q: Catching Legendaries in Pokemon Go

user154770In Pokemon Yellow, there was a truck you could crawl under to catch a Mew. In Pokemon Go, there's a secret that lets you use Pikachu as your starter, which basically starts you off just like Pokemon Yellow. If you start Go in that way, will crawling under parked cars to search for Pokemon increas...

 
^ good god almighty
 
@Wipqozn little did she know, your brick only needs be charged once a week or less
 
3:52 PM
@badp haven't seen you at AU in a while
 
@Zacharee1 \what are YOU doing here?
 
@KazWolfe AAH
I'm keeping an eye out for a certain user
 
oh, him.
why don't you ping?
 
He's not here
 
user15026
How about we don't create problems?

3:54 PM
^-- or that
 
@Ash ?
we're just sarcastic
 
yeah, The Bridge has mod abuse, AU General has sarcasm dripping all over the floor.
it's like the thing that makes each chatroom special :)
 
user15026
I get that a bunch of people are worried about a person appearing and causing issues. We know. We will deal with it. Stop raising unnecessary fuss over it, because that's like holding a match near a barrel of gasoline.
 
@Ash I just joined
 
oh shit the new lp from Kermode is gooooood
@GodEmperorDune @arda
 
3:55 PM
> I'm keeping an eye out for a certain user
 
@Ash I wasn't trying to cause anything.
 
@badp I'm not going to lie
 
also cc @StrixVaria perhaps
 
please just ignore me
 
3:57 PM
@Zacharee1 no we're bringing you into the limelight
 
Sigh
Let's just give everyone RO and timeout the room.
 
YES!
 
Lets give everyone a unicorn and a dinosaur
 
Cc was it @fredley or @BADP
 
@MadMAxJr can I have a Note 7 too?
 
3:59 PM
No.
 
darn
 
@Ash The tracking is what is telling me it's in Toronto.
 
Our free stuff budget doesn't cover that.
