Q: PC - Sleeping Dogs: (Definitive Edition) Radio Fix

ExiaLimbuHey guys I recently bought Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition on PC through Steam as it was on sale. I've played the normal edition when it was released and one of the good parts of the game was the car radio. Right now I am having problems with the car radio volume. For some odd reason the car ...

@fredley's script breaking is great. Now all the people who became reliant on it to avoid RB videos are going to be in trouble on Friday. They've been trained to let their guard down
 
I'm just going to turn my computer off on Friday until it's safe.
 
@Sterno I've been thinking the same thing. I'm so excited.
 
@Wipqozn So excited! We gonna have a ball that day!
 
@Sterno I'm going to psot so many friday links
I plan to mod abuse a lot of peoples non-friday links to friday too!
It'll be glorious

Q: Why can't I sometimes switch weapons with Torbjörn?

npstIn almost every game, after placing the turret with Torbjörn I have problems switching to the hammer to upgrade it. At first, I thought it was just my mouse wheel acting up, but even pressing 1 or 2 (keys for the different weapon slots) shows the same phenomenon: The gun gets lowered and raised ...

 
On @foxandfriends @realDonaldTrump said he won a @CBSNews post-debate poll. We did not conduct a post-debate poll.
 
@Yuuki Clearly he won by default
 
@murgatroid99 He won the debate so hard, he won polls that don't even exist.
 
@Yuuki Trump makes reality whatever he wants. So it's actually CBS that's wrong in claiming that the poll doesn't exist
 
12:56 AM
@murgatroid99 Now I really want Trump's Twitter to reply with just "Wrong."
 
In Trump headcanon world, where walls prevent immigration and banning Muslims prevents terrorism, CBS did run a poll and Trump got all of the votes
 
@murgatroid99 There was only one vote and it was Trump voting for Trump.
 
@Yuuki And the poll wasn't run by CBS but actually by Trump
 
@badp As @Yuuki noted Blizzard reverted almost all of my classes's nerfs
Praise be to them
 
I do hope they readjust some numbers though because I had a sort of double-take when I learned that Throw Glaive counted for so much of your damage.
Maybe put some more damage into Fel Rush or Chaos Strike.
 
1:13 AM
@Wipqozn What took you so long to find this? Modernizr has been around for so long
 
you guys should play Paragon
 
It used to be pretty indispensable. Nowadays unless you're supporting IE8 it's not that necessary unless you're working with very cutting edge stuff
 
@GnomeSlice I told myself I would play last week, but I never got to it.
I'll go start the install now.
 
I have it on PS4
We're talking about WoW which is totally different though
@Yuuki Meh, it's a weird design choice but the class is in a weird spot
 
@twobugs I imagine so. Demon Hunter is definitely not the class that I expected "throw your weapon" to be such a valid strategy.
I would think that's more Rogue's thing.
 
1:18 AM
Well many of their other abilities are supposed to be things you steal from demons
Throw glaive isn't really... it feels weird

Q: Minecraft: Didn't Save & Close and now won't open

Lianne KrugerLaptop battery died before I Saved and closed Minecraft game. Now when I start Minecraft the game is not listed. I can see the folder of my game in Windows Explorer. How do I get MineCraft to open that game again?

 
@twobugs It feels like Demon Hunters didn't yet have a ranged attack and a lazy designer just decided "eh, they'll just throw their glaive".
 
@twobugs I didn't even notice. I just wanted people to play Paragon
it still needs balancng but it's so fun to play
Apparently they took out orb prime in the last update
and travel mode is getting axed
 
@GnomeSlice :|
 
not sure how I feel about that
 
1:30 AM
If anyone was curious my cat hit the "d" key and then enter
 
I wasn't curious, but now I'm suspicious as to whether or not you're lying. :P
 
@GnomeSlice Hopefully, I just sent you a friend invite on Epic Games.
 
2:08 AM
@Yuuki i thought throw glaive was from warcraft 3
 
2:25 AM
Is it? I don't remember
 
Well, the night elf siege unit was the glaive thrower.
 
I should sell more stuff. I've donated probably 100k ish in the past few weeks

Very few people know that for the most gains, you need to invest in community-specific memes like [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker] or "three-stack passives".
These memes have both a devout following and longevity, cornerstones for any serious meme portfolio.
 
You gotta combine them

Q: Which VGA Card is best suited for ASUS H81M-C motherboard?

VahnMy old VGA (NVIDIA GTX 660 2GB) is broken. I'd like to buy a new one. Better than my old VGA. What I'd like to know are: Best VGA recommendation suited my mother board (the cheapest one, NVIDIA, minimal 4GB, for gaming purpose) Best VGA manufacturer for NVIDIA (and AMD if you know about it). ...

 
I'd do one of the common trade chat ones but it might get flagged
 
The key is that because they're community-specific, they're not very likely to go mainstream, which is what devalues normally strong meme investments like Pepe or Harambe.

Australia is a scary place
 
@GodEmperorDune At first I thought it was the second incident of a man getting bitten "down under" in Australia this year. And then it got better.
@spugsley Decided to take a look at developer jobs in Seattle and it's pretty much page after page of Amazon.
 
@Yuuki I think Costco/Kirkland is up there too

or at least find a bit to work around it till you're of age
 
5:57 AM
Or maybe remote work?
 
omg it's taking so long to download
 
@NBN-Alex no work permit = illegal working. I don't think valve would be interested in that.
@NBN-Alex that's a pita considering I can't work in Turkey and I can't work freelance as PayPal is blocked in Turkey.

12:45 PM
I really want to go home and play some resident evil
 
Maybe VR will be my next ridiculous tech purchase rather than 4k
 
@Wipqozn I really want to go home and do some Emerald Nightmare LFR
Even though I could probably do normal mode and not be a carry
@twobugs That's a better option. what GPU do you have?
 
1080 gtx
@Nzall LFR is cancer
 
That's like the best card of the moment, right?
 
I wonder what item level stuff it drops
@Nzall I think there might be a new Titan but otherwise yes
 
12:48 PM
@Nzall best card for the semi-mortals
 
@twobugs it drops 835 gear, which is below Mythic 5 man content
 
835? Neat, pointless for me
 
although the gear can be war- and titanforged, and it drops the same items as the other difficulties
and you can't do the Artifact appearance quests in there
 
I don't see a problem with that
Appearance is entirely cosmetic and this will be puggable soon
 
I might do a normal, actually. my current 837 ilvl should be enough for that, and it's probably going to be a better experience than LFR
the main reason I do LFR is because it's so convenient. You don't need to be available at a certain time, you don't need to meet insane requirements and you don't need voice chat.
 
12:52 PM
Neat Michel Ancel is trolling us all again by teasing Beyond Good and Evil 2
See I avoid LFR because everyone is insanely toxic
Every time I join someone is Epic Trolling
 
@twobugs It's a mixed bag for me, honestly. I've been in really toxic LFRs, but I've also been in LFRs where people were friendly to each other, joking around and generally being pleasant
I think it just depends on the groups you enter, how competent they are and how the start is handled
If one person is toxic from the start, complaining and moaning, it's likely that other people who are ambivalent about LFR start to complain and moan as well.
but if the raid starts well, and doesn't have too many wipes or complaints from the start, it'll go fine
 
Back to work
 
The main issue is that once one person starts to trash talk the tank or a healer for incompetence, it often spins out of control.
 
1:13 PM
Speaking of artifact appearance, I wonder what level of artifact knowledge unlocks the hidden Ashbringer questline.
 
@Yuuki That Ashbringer questline is insane. Looks like the most involved Hidden Artifact appearance in the game at this point
 
@Nzall Definitely makes me feel better about picking Paladin as opposed to, say, Hunter.
I still can't believe Hunters buy their hidden artifact appearance. Twice.
 
Like, hunters can buy it for 2 of their specs, a number of classes need to do the withered scenario, and ret paladins... Need to get 2 books and a ton of knowledge, kill Nefarian, fish for potentially 350 casts
and the rare that drops the item that makes it so you can fish it up only spawns like once a day
@Yuuki what's so bad about that?
 
@Nzall It just feels so... boring. And not "hidden" at all.
 
@Yuuki I personally think it's nice that some hidden appearances are easier to get than others
Like, the only guy that has the Thunderfury Outlaw appearance has it because of a failed faction transfer. Noone knows how to get it legitimately
 
1:20 PM
@Nzall Sure, but having two Hunter specs just buy their hidden appearance seems particularly lazy.
One is probably tolerable, two just feels weird.
 
@Yuuki And having 4 different specs on different classes get theirs through the Withered Army Training scenario isn't?
Also, MM also requires reputation

@Chippies It's been adding more and more bloatware.
 
fair enough
I use it mostly to access the contents of my PC from my phone
Idk anything else that's as good at doing that
 
@Frank I switched to Solid Explorer a while back
 
@SaintWacko can it connect to network locations?
 
@Frank yeah I installed it, got hit with bloatware right away, and uninstalled it
I was like "why is this so popular"
 
2:17 PM
@Wipqozn It used to be awesome.
 
@SaintWacko that's whta I downloaded instead. In fact I probably need to upgrade to the paid version soon.
 
It was just a file explorer.
 
@Wipqozn it's been around since the beginning of android
 
Then they started adding in ads and bloatware, and you could pay for a pro version that got rid of most of it.
 
@fredley This is amazing
On Soundcloud, by the way: soundcloud.com/my-dad-wrote-a-porno
 
2:18 PM
I like the option to find large files on the phone with ES File Explorer
 
@Frank Yeah, I used it for years until they added all the crap
 
I got beer ale :>
 
@Frank Yeha, that's what I saw
I got no problems paying. I pay for apps I like, because support the devs, but if your ads are just gross then no, I'm not giving you money.
I prefer what Solid Explorer does which is you can use it free for 2 weeks, then need to pay

@fredley It's also extremely creepy to do anything with erotica in public

You can really see that the budget for the stargate sg-1 movies was way more then they had for the series
 
You've seen it with the video I linked from the Jimquisition
 
I'll keep an eye out for it the next time we go to liquor store (which may not be for a long time)
 
it was immediately removed because it's too taboo to talk about sex, porn and related topics in public
 
@SaintWacko according to their website, it's not available in Canada :/
 
@Nzall It's not erotica in any way, which is kind of the joke
 
2:32 PM
@fredley He's literally reading a porno book into a microphone. How can that not have anything to do with erotica?
I would consider it pretty similar to people reading 50 shades on the bus

Need for Speed is an online open world racing video game developed by Ghost Games and published by Electronic Arts, released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in November 2015, and released on Origin for Microsoft Windows on March 15, 2016. It is the twenty-second installment in the long-running Need for Speed series, and is a full reboot of the franchise. It marks the series' second eighth generation installment, and is the first Need for Speed title to only be on eighth generation hardware. It marks the franchise's first return to the import scene and tuner culture focus since the release of 2010...

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2010
goddammit EA
I remember playing the demo for NFS3
 
Need for Speed: Desert Bus
 
and not thinking much of it
 
2:41 PM
Guys, I am sad. :( I want to like Dishonored, but I think first person stealth just isn't for me.
 
@fredley Desert Bus? That's the worst racing game ever, right? The one where you drive a broken bus for like 20 hours?
 
@Nzall 8 hours per point
 
@Fluttershy that's the best thing about dishonored. You don't have to stealth
 
@arda But doesn't that make it a lot harder? Like Deus Ex?
 
> ...the vehicle constantly lists to the right, so players cannot take their hands off the virtual wheel; swerving from the road will cause the bus’s engine to stall, forcing the player to be towed back to the beginning. The game cannot be paused. The bus carries no virtual passengers to add human interest, and there is no traffic to negotiate. The only scenery is the odd sand-pocked rock or road sign. Players earn a single point for each eight-hour trip completed between the two cities.
 
2:43 PM
@arda yep, I played through Dishonored on my first playthrough with lots of killing and fighting. the only issue I had was that it becamer harder and harder
 
No idea. I never finished it
 
@Fluttershy Dishonored is the only stealth game I've ever liked.
And it's because if you screw up the stealth, there are actually fleshed out fallback options.
 
@Fluttershy you have more enemies and zombies, and the mood of the city will change, as well as the ending
@StrixVaria Yeah, it's not like Thief, where you just die if you fail your stealth
 
@StrixVaria Well that's good, at least...
@Nzall That's what the chaos rating is all about, right?
 
@Fluttershy yeah. On high chaos, the mood will become much darker and grim
 
2:47 PM
I made it through the first mission, all the way to the target without a single kill. Then, I ended up killing literally everyone in the building because I screwed up the non-lethal route. :(
 
@Fluttershy yeah, but killing everyone is actually an option. You can actually fight back. Also, quicksave is your friend
 
@fredley The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round
 
@fredley Oh wow, the bus actually goes somewhere?
 
@PrivatePansy Oh yeah
It's based on a real-life journey
 
2:54 PM
@Nzall I'm still trying to get used to this. Haven't had much experience with quick saving.
 
Unless you're a purely console gamer I don't know how you can not have experience with quick saving
 
@Sterno I was purely a console gamer for like 25 years. Save for WoW.
 
@Fluttershy quicksave for WoW
 
@Fluttershy You poor soul
 
I turned out okay. Other than the fact that PC games now are harder for me than they should be, since I don't know when to quick save, or accidentally quick save when I mean to quick load.
 
2:59 PM
Could be worse, I've been a Mac gamer for the last few years
I enjoy playing games a few months/years after everyone else anyway
 
hi
bye
