12:00 AM
<BrightHouse Tech> so, let me get an idea of your setup. What kind of router is connected to your modem?
<Me> its not a router. I have a multi-homed PC connected directly to the modem.
<BrightHouse> .... a what? is that like a router?
 
@KutuluMike Multiple NICs?
 
yeah.
it's a firewall/gateway.
which I've been using as-is for about 15 years.
but every time I have to call cable support, the guy on the other end knows less and less.
oh goodie, they're calling me back for a satisfaction survey.
 
@KutuluMike Can you give negatives on the 1 to 5 scale?
 
i pressed 0 a lot.
worst part is, I know this is just because their infrastructure is garbage... IP connectivity disappears for a hour or so at a time at least 5 times a month.
 
@KutuluMike How long does it take to come back up?
 
12:05 AM
I thought maybe if I call and ask, someone could go "oh look, that's not supposed to be like that" and fix it.
 
yay skype viruses
 
At least with my internet, they give me a modem/router
 
instead, I talked to this idiot for 20 minutes, then he asked me to unplug my multi-homed Linux server and plug a Windows 10 PC in just so he could tell me how to turn off the firewall
I was like "you know what dude, I'm gonna hang up and wait this out."
20 minutes later it comes back, as expected.
@Frank well, Brighthouse wants to pretend their are networking guys.
if you let them, they come in and install a DOCSIS router that is also a wifi access point.
 
and they hook all your PC's up to their wifi managed by their guys.
 
12:07 AM
cc @Wipqozn @TimStone :(
 
I was like "nope, not having that", but now every time I call for support, I have to wait until the tier 1 guy figures out he's in over his head.
 
EVENTUALLY MY KIDS WILL BE ASLEEP
 
@KutuluMike I'd be like, "Yeah, nope, I know how to do this. Go away."
 
@Sterno Hey, I deserve this
You don't know what I had to go through to get this thing to run for some unknown reason
 
it used to be easy, because their customer service guy would pick up clues that I was beyond level 1, and they'd be all "alrighty, lemme send you up to level 2" and I'd get a networking guy.
and their networking guys are remarkably helpful and effiicent.
 
12:09 AM
@KutuluMike can't you just ask to be escalated?
 
I tried.
I guess they don't do that anymore.
 
give 0 on satisfaction survey
 
I totally get why the dude answering the phone ain't gonna be able to help me.
I don't expect him to.
he's there to explain to grandma how to reboot her router or run IE
 
My only consolation is that I'll be playing it in glorious 2560x1440 while @Wipqozn probably played at 640x480 because his computer is awful
 
@arda note down that it wasn't their fault if there is a notes part but say that they should allow them to escalate so that it doesn't end up hurting that person's salary
 
12:13 AM
urmom runs at 640x480
well, on the survey I claimed he was 4 on friendly but 0 on helpful (out of 4)
it was a phone survey.
but since I scored a 0 I'm pretty sure I'll get a follow-up email
 
ah
 
he was really trying, but it was painful.
 
What's particularly frustrating is that DX seems to be stuck at 19.9/22.7 GB downloaded
 
I almost lost it when he asked me to ping localhost to see if my NIC was working.
 
user15026
See, I feel that guys pain because I am that guy
 
user15026
12:15 AM
And he probably is stuck on a script of Shit he has to do before he can escalate
 
I wasn't mad at him for that bit.
1) they actually put that in your support script, to tell someone to "ping 127.0.0.1" and 2) IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT...
 
user15026
And probably only knows how to do things that they put out
 
user15026
@KutuluMike okay, yeah, no
 
user15026
But them not having any real escalation path is kinda annoying
 
@Ash I did not get annoyed at him until he decided that he had diagnosed my problem, and that it was my "security software"
 
user15026
12:16 AM
@KutuluMike oh, boo. Yeah, no.
 
If I were running Windows and had one of those personal firewalls, sure, but I was like "I don't have any security software on this."
 
user15026
Thats like tech support speak for I don't know so let's blame something I don't have to worry about
 
meh, my internet is back and that guy had nothing to do with it, so ok.
 
user15026
Lol that's all that matters in the end
 
So first I couldn't start the game for no reason, and then I find out the mouse sensitivity change be adjusted in increments of 6, except when it's sometimes 7
This is so Squeenix it hurts
 
12:22 AM
@TimStone For me I hit the button to finish preload and it churned the disk for 10 minutes but didn't download anything new. Stuck at 87%. Now I deleted everything and started redownloading. Got 3.1 GB and now it's doing the same thing. NOT WINNING
 
Oh, if it's stuck at 87% you're supposed to uncheck the Day One DLC or something?
I think that resolves it
 
Fuck me
Well, too late for that now
 
Worst yet simplest way I got escalated was with Rockstar Games and I had to kinda somewhat threaten them.

I had found a kind of dangerous security issue what was being exploited (that already cost rockstar games thousands) and I tried to contact them. It took 2 months to get a response of "Thank you for supplying the info" (I only added 2 screenshots proving that I had that info and stated that I wanted to be escalated to someone who can take action).

I replied that I'll release that info online if I don't get a response in a month and that security team can get it there if they want, and
 
@Sterno The lamest of sauces
 
@Sterno I believe that is, in fact, what is happening.
 
12:24 AM
It's cool, Steam. I like redownloading 23 GB of game. Slowly.
I hear there's some mouse acceleration wackiness
 
I didn't enjoy doing that, but they ended up patching the exploit.

Q: What is the easiest female human spouse to get?

Chronos MythOk so I just married Camilla to test a previous question of mine. I got married to her in the temple and requested she moved into the house I bought in whiterun. Well after so I waited twelve in game hours then fast traveled to whiterun. She was not at my house. So I checked riverwood. Not there....

 
There's a phone app?
...That I use. To scan things in-game on the screen

@Lazers2.0 Initially read "get" as "eat" and was intrigued. After reading closer for clarification, disappointed.

Q: Why it no let me sign in with google?

BuffaloSo I just started playing pokemon go and it asks me to sign up with my google account. So I press on sign up with google and the page will not load. I am connected to the internet and everything, so why won't it load for me? plz answer.

 
@RedRiderX This is where Sinning Jenny's wimple leads you (spoilers, obviously)
 
I need to get back into that
Except I'm waiting for the android app
 
The Android app is... interesting
It's not merely a thin wrapper around the web content. It has over 100MB of music and images that are not in the web version of the game
That makes it pretty cool to play, but also makes the app quite heavy in terms of performance

I wish I could tell iTunes to shuffle play the songs in a certain genre without it always playing the same song first

I might be able to start playing before @Wipqozn goes to bed
 
@Dragonrage Your mom?
 
@Wipqozn whoooooooosh
 
@Dragonrage Oh, now I get it
 
1:14 AM
lol @ these non-lethal takedowns catapulting the enemies into the air for some reason
 
@TimStone Are you fighting against Team Rocket?
 
Apparently

@Wipqozn messaged me in Steam and made DX crash and my computer need a hard reboot :(
 
lol
 
1:19 AM
@Sterno I' m so proud of myself
 
The Fallen London beta app is also hilariously buggy at the moment
 
Haha someone in my guild got banned
 
If you press back when it's loading the app just crashes
 
Uhhh @Wipqozn are there no auto-saves in the first mission thingy?
 
@PrivatePansy Does it give you a 404 error saying London not found in the EU?

I got a little bold jumping down at the chopper part and died and now I have to start over completely
 
oh nice, the site I'm writing for will get ads soon. Yay, finally some (small) income.
 
@TimStone I thoguht there was, but now I'm not sure.
 
It also wouldn't let me save manually?
 
@TimStone That all sounds very strange. Did you somehow turn on an ironman mode,which probably doesn't even exist?
 
1:26 AM
I dunno but I suspect the game is trolling me
 
I get the sense the game doesn't want to you to be happy
 
It doesn't seem like it, no
 
Have you done something to offend Eidos Montreal?
Like, say, claim Poutine is dumb?
Also I still can't believe Poutine is mostly isolated to Canada
 
Not a fan of cheese curds myself, but I think I'd like the other parts of poutine.
 
I mean like any proper sort-of-Canadian I've made adequate fun of French Canada but
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh there was a log this whole time!
Not that there appears to be anything useful in it but whatever
 
1:34 AM
There actually is an ironman mode but it seems disabled at the start
It's the "I never asked for this" difficulty
 
Also uh
What's that part at the beginning?
Where it's like "Your save data will no longer work if an update is installed"?
>_>
 
HOLY SENSITIVE MOUSE, BATMAN
 
@TimStone yeah, that's dumb
In case you by have anymore issues
 
Fun times
 
Can't tranq seagulls. Game literally unplayable. Uninstalling.
 
1:46 AM
@Sterno just fulton them instead
 
Too late. Game uninstalled. Sad letter complaining about it written to @Wipqozn's mom.
 
@Sterno My mom wanted to let you know you should just wrestle those seagulls with your hands, like a real man
but I,too, went for the tranq gun
and I assume so did @Tim "This game hates me" Stone
 
You know me so well
 
@Ash Oh, that's cool! I'm pretty sure I'd be far too self-conscious, though :P
 
@Sterno That's how Human Revolution was too. Sensitivity on 3: Easily manageable. Sensitivity on 4: OMGWTFICANTSEE
 
1:58 AM
Yeah, the game is messing with me, ugh
 
Oh man they improved the taps here
 
@Ash Idk if you've tried, but I've been enjoying duolingo for learning French whenever I'm bored. It also has the option for Russian
 
@TimStone IS it not letting you save?
 
Yeah, I think I know why though
But lol at it just continuing on like there's no problem
 
@TimStone Permissions issue...?
 
2:04 AM
ur a perm...err, yes
 
lol
 
Incidentally this was probably the cause of my earlier issue too
 
user15026
@Chippies Yeah I've been using it for a while
 
"Can't do the thing" would have been too informative of an error though
 
"uh..." is best error message

Q: Is there any human female spouse that won't disappear?

Chronos MythSo I've tried to get married in skyrim but after the wedding the wife disappears. Is there any female human spouses that WON'T disappear after getting married? If so who? Also I play on Xbox 360 if that helps. And does getting the legendary edition of the game fix this glitch? I'm sick of using ...

 
Said no way, ever.
 
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. Permissions issue
 
Nygard's one of those places that you hear is bad, and it's just not worth it to find it out firsthand.
 
Thank goodness that's sorted out though, if I had to hear that guy say "gennys" one more time I might have kicked him

Q: What is the advantage of having a high CP Pokemon (such as one with CP 3000)?

太極者無極而生Let's say if I can power up a Pokemon to a CP of 3000, what is the advantage of having it? Because I thought having a high CP Pokemon is mainly to be more powerful if it stays at a gym, but isn't it true that anther player can just repeat a fight again and again, to make the Prestige point lower...

@Dragonrage I don't know about 'offended' (also, there seems to be a second flag on the truck that they never completely show...), but I could see how those flags could be a road safety issue...

HELLO 7.0
 
Version number?
PHP? Perl? @badp?
 
@TrentHawkins the school official mentions that there were complaints about the flags being offensive and the second flag (the black one) is one for honoring POW's
 
@Dragonrage aah, ok, missed the info about the second flag. Although it did sound like there were existing rules against such flags, for safety reasons - they were just never enforced Until someone complained - and was 'offended' for some reason.
 
In the later articles the officials focus more on the safety issue, but the original problem they told the student about was that they were offensive iirc.

Q: What enemies carry plasma rifles?

BenubirdI killed a thin man, and it said "thin man plasma rifle" exploded. So I captured the next one, and only got a light plasma from it. Mutons always seem to drop plasma rifles, but what other enemies do? And are there any enemies that drop weapons other than the plasma rifle, light plasma rifle, and...

 
Also it still boggles me that school people are allowed to touch a students property. Like the school should not have been able to take down his flags on his truck.
Some school policies state that they can confiscate a students phone till the end of the quarter/trimester which seems a whole lot like theft. But somehow it is legal since you agree to this by going there, but it is illegal not to go.
 
@Dragonrage I'll have to ask my cousin and his wife how they handle things like that at their schools (they're both teachers). But on the face of it, confiscating student property beyond the current class / until end of day seems like a bad idea - if only because you are opening yourself and/or the school up to potential lawsuits.
 
From what I've seen from research, the court dismissed one law suit against a school saying that the school was following its policy.
Anyhow I got to go to sleep now. Have work tomorrow.

'Blessing of Elune now increases Astral Power generation by 25% (was 40%).'

if you see further, you'll notice that they buffed the generation from base spells by 25%, as well as mastery

happened in all 6 invasion zones last night, on the stage 3 bosses
there was no cast on any. and just suddenly I gained 247% threat and his threat dropped to 80% on his screen and I would have to shadowmeld until he regained threat
I wasn't highest DPS in our group either
so it confused me why the boss came straight for me every time
 
9:56 AM
Might be a fixate mechanic.
I had the same thing yesterday in Azshara, where my shaman got smacked in the face a few times.
Next time it happens, check the combat log.
@fredley it's not a dupe, it's a bug report.

they are codifying what an "orphan work" is?
 
@Wipqozn Birl is a popular brazilian word for happy people :D
 
@KutuluMike Presumably, yes, otherwise that won't be entered into the proposal
An orphan work is a copyright protected work for which rightsholders are positively indeterminate or uncontactable. Sometimes the names of the originators or rightsholders are known, yet it is impossible to contact them because additional details cannot be found. A work can become orphaned through rightsholders being unaware of their holding, or by their demise (e.g. deceased persons or defunct companies) and establishing inheritance has proved impracticable. In other cases, comprehensively diligent research fails to determine any authors, creators or originators for a work. == Extent == Precise...

what
There we go
cc @Sterno at his less than an hour played
 
Doesn't even have a cheevo yet, tsk
 
How lame
 
12:09 PM
I've heard that Deus Ex is actually quite disappointing to many
 
@Nzall Oh? Where did you hear that, and in wht way?
 
bugs, crashes, poor performance and a story that appears rushed
 
@Wipqozn steam reviews etc
 
@TimStone interesting, though I don't find the PS4 controller to have anything useful over my wired 360 pad
I suppose those that love the shape of the ps4 controller will love it though
 
12:19 PM
Yeah, it's nice though if you're a PS Now user wanting to play games with the same controller now that it's coming to PC I guess

Q: Are there crietrias to determine if a build is endgame-viable?

FedericoI was reading about some builds on the official PoE forums and I noticed that a criteria is Atz: Atziri Viable U-Atz: Uber Atziri viable U-Lab: Uber Lab viable I am familiar with what "Atziri/Uber Atziri" refer to (and I suppose that "Uber Lab" is just another map). My question i...

That's very Wool-esque
Also slightly weird
 
@TimStone maybe if some pc games can make good use of the touchpad as well, although that hasn't really happened even on ps4 yet
most just use it as another face button
or map/inventory
 
@Yuuki Fake, nobody would risk their lives for Canadian Geese
 
 
@sequoiad That's because to use it, you need to remove your fingers from the buttons, which means you can't have it be needed during action sequences. Unless I'm mistaken and the touchpad is on the rear.
 
@Nzall it's on the front on PS4, on the PS Vita it's rear i believe?
 
12:45 PM
@sequoiad exactly. if you want to use it during an intense shootout in Uncharted or something, you either lose mobility or aiming
 
@twobugs Am Canadian, can confirm
 
And because the XB1 doesn't have anything similar to it, it's unlikely a cross-platform game will use it.
 
@Nzall yep. strange choice to put it where it is really
unless they thought of it as just a way of having a small keyboard for chat
 
@sequoiad Chat implies multiplayer game. On console, that usually means a game where you don't really have the chance to take your eyes of the screen to type stuff, unless you work with a phrasebook.
 
@Nzall on ps4 the trackpad is used as an on-screen keyboard, so it does work sort of
but it tends to assume everyone has voice comms instead
 
12:50 PM
@sequoiad Even then, text chat in a console game sounds horrible.
I mean, I play on a PC and outside of combat, I avoid typing whenever possible
 
and tbf the console does come with an (admittedly horrible) headset
 
Does it have bluetooth?
 
the headset?
plugs into the controller and works through its bluetooth.
the included one is really bad though, like a really cheap thing you get with a budget phone
 
I got a Bluetooth headset at home. Can I use that with a PS4?
 
not that I'm aware of
I havn't looked too into what does and doesn't connect though
