(also, sorry for the cursing rant. I just...am very tired of the tumblr sort of labelling and social justice.)
 
Sigh, Tumblr and their social "justice".
 
@GnomeSlice This is really good. It's like an electronic 80s rock montage. I like it.

@Fluttershy It's friggin rad. I can't get enough of Thrasher.
 
Just look at Carter instead of being mad.

Hmm... maybe this?
 
5:31 AM
Gah. My stupid server is now throwing 500 Internal Server Error, instead of an intelligble error message I can do something with.
 
@Frank usually means configuration or an error in an error
 
@Ktash It's been doing this since they upgraded the version of PHP on it.
 
@Frank Configuration change then. They'll have turned off error messages and put it into production mode

Q: In the new Loot 2.0 system, when are a legendary item's stats determined?

shanodinBlizz have made it so it's much more likely to get items which are relevant to your character. Whilst overall great, I'm now struggling to gear up my followers. If I find a legendary shield with my wizard, identifying it will inevitably lead to a pointless shield full of int. However if I sta...

 
@Ktash I've put in a ticket to get that changed.
Because otherwise, just getting, "Hey, something broke" is not very useful at all.
 
5:35 AM
That's very unsecure, and not really what you want to do on a production environment
try using this temporarily instead php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php

A: How to get useful error messages in PHP?

Darryl HeinFor syntax errors, you need to enable error display in the php.ini. By default these are turned off because you don't want a "customer" seeing the error messages. Check this page in the PHP documentation for information on the 2 directives: error_reporting and display_errors. display_errors is pr...

I'd recommend the code option over the config option. Easier to pull out later
 
@Ktash Tried that. It still freaks out on errors, but will give me warnings.

Q: Why don't I attack every time I press the LMB?

NoumenonI don't notice a problem while mining, but when attacking I click and click and only some of the attacks hit. It's not bad when fighting sheep but almost impossible when fighting skeletons. I'm running Windows 8.1 on a laptop with a touchpad.

 
@Frank what level are you using?
 
@Ktash -1
So I'm betting it's something in the backend I can't touch that's overriding my options.
 
quite possible
well, you can always use try/catch to figure things out
 
5:53 AM
@Ktash Or just comment out lines of code until it stops freaking out, and then make educated guesses.
Which, apparently, has worked out.

Q: How do I use a shit nugget?

AssylumWhen you go to the toilet, there is a mini game where you can press out a shit nugget and use it to attack your enemies. In one of the first fights, I was unable to use it though. So how exactly do you use the turd nugget during a fight?

KexloxIn the case of an alliance à trois, is there a way to determine which side the mutual ally will join? For instance, as The Palatinate, I am currently allied with Wurttemberg, but so is Alcase. If I declare war on Alcase, is there a way to know which side the mutual ally will throw in with? If ...

I know they move out if it's time for a new one to move in, and I know you can't actually 'force' them persay. I have a villager who has caused nearly all my other villagers to wear his.. rather hideous 'kid...

Is it just me, or is the top one of the "Recommended channels" of your YouTube subscriptions page basically totally unrelated to anything else you watch (and so the last thing any sane person would recommend to someone) and chosen solely on the numbers of their subscribers?
All the others seem more in tune with what I'd watch ...
 
@Blem AFAIK people designing book covers don't get to read the book they're designing the cover for first

@Utkarsh What have you done to upset RPG chat?
Wait, utkarsh and blem are not the same person...?
 
@fredley I always make that mistake.
 
@Wipqozn Oh well, he just landed a week's chat suspension, so as long as Blem doesn't do the same we should be okay for a while
 
@fredley You could just mod abuse his gravatar.
 
@Wipqozn I don't think I can, parent site is AU
Oh no wait, I can change parent site
 
@fredley Just bribe the AU mods.
 
11:47 AM
even so
Probably a little too abusive for this time of day
 
nah man
the more abusive the mod abuse the better

@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment ...
 
Ah, the old we'll be down for 7 hours for "scheduled maintenance" routine... another reason to hate always-online.
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment NOPE
 
@Sterno Yes
Luckily I'm at work for the next 7 hours.
 
@Sterno D3 I'm assuming?
 
Well, it probably goes for any Blizzard game, but yeah
 
12:12 PM
I think tuesdayis when they normally do their wow maintenance.
 
That's (probably) already head of Wii U life to date (which is ~5.5m I think)
 
@StackExchange You're the worst, @GraceNote.
@fredley Since this meme took off like wildfire, probably.
Back when it was mostly just lesspop or badp I'd be room owner for months at a time.

I've never removed a room owner

@Blem That reminds me, I still need to watch most of season 4.
I really do that sometime.
 
Starting to think TPP is doing democracy too often, apparently they only got Croconaw from it
 
Oh, is that how they managed to get croconaw?
 
yeah, A9 spam in democracy
did Omastar evolve in anarchy?
 
I'm not sure.
 
Hmmmm, so I signed up for reddit's book gift exchange, and my giftee likes crochet, Yugioh Duelist manga, the Little Prince and Japanese and ancient Egyptian fairy tales
A rather eclectic mix of interests
On the one hand I don't want to type 'crochet' into Amazon and buy the first book that comes out, on the other hand that seems to be the safest choice given I know next to nothing about the subject
 
12:39 PM
Book about crocheting yugioh duelist characters
 
Oh, they just managed to evolve croconaw in anarchy.
 
I'd be awful at gift exchanges. If they like a series how can you know what to buy that they don't already have?
 
@BenBrocka According to Amazon such a book unfortunately does not exist
 
@Wipqozn cool. Now for smoochum
(just kidding that will take ages thanks to friendship)
 
@BenBrocka That's why when I was asked to specify my likes and dislikes I specifically dropped in my Goodreads reading list and did not specify interests where I'm likely to already have books for

Q: What's purpose of these little rock plate under ramps in many maps in Starcraft 2

Gerelt OdWhat does these little destroy able rock's purpose? Any advantage on keeping it or destroying it?

 
It was fun playing D3 with @AATTVVV, @spugsley, and @OrigamiRobot last night. I'd be attacking something and do like 20% damage in 30 seconds, and then one of them would run by and do the last 80% in about 2 seconds.
 
FAE
Good afternoon, all.
 
That seems remarkably dangerous
 
12:59 PM
@sterno you aren't a real weather reporter if you aren't exposed to danger.
 
FAE
@PrivatePansy Le Petit Prince is wonderful.
 
@FAE But a single book hardly counts as an 'interest'
 
Oh, I just watched the real video. It isn't as bad as it looks.
 
FAE
@PrivatePansy I think it's a book that can say a lot about someone if it means enough to them to list it specifically.
 
@FAE Then again, as I said the giftee's list is somewhat... eclectic
That's all the interests listed, by the way. S/he also mentioned they like hardcover books, but that doesn't tell me much
 
FAE
1:03 PM
@PrivatePansy Do you know their approximate age?
 
No, but maybe with a little stalking I can make a guess
 
FAE
@PrivatePansy Comment history goooo~
 
@Sterno It's funny because your build does terrible damage.
My demon hunter is levle 57!
Also I wonder who is worse., @FAE or @GraceNote? Hard to say!
 
17/F, from a post in r/amiugly. And no, I'm not going to click through. I don't even know why a sub like that exist.
 
@PrivatePansy Because Reddit.
 
1:06 PM
chat search is awful
 
That reminds me, I did read an article on Ars about this once
 
FAE
@Wipqozn Also because teenage girls can be incredibly insecure about their appearance, given media standards and societal pressures.
 
It sounds, I don't know. It sounds horrific. I think I have the same reaction as the artist in the story.
 
FAE
@PrivatePansy It is really awful, yeah.
 
I understand that teenage girls are insecure, but I'm not sure how exposing their image to thousands of anonymous internet commentators is suppose to help with that, especially if they've been online before and know what anonymity does to people
Or maybe they're just really, really naive
 
1:12 PM
Well, if the answer is "you're hot", then they feel better
 
FAE
@PrivatePansy Can be that, can also be just looking for those golden nuggets of validation.
Can also be they trust "strangers" to give them a more impartial view than people who know them offline.
 
@Sterno like this is gonna happen
 
@M'vy It could. I mean, not universally, but some people will.
 
@Sterno some out of how many?
 
@M'vy How should I know? It's irrelevant. They're looking for that validation.
Of course, there will be total assholes who probably make them feel worse than the bits of validation give them.
But people like to gamble.
 
1:18 PM
hm
 
People are dumb.
Most confusing things involving people can be summarized with that fact.
 
see also all timezones that are not correct
 
FAE
And it's not like this is a new phenomenon either, hotornot has been around for like... over a decade I think.
 
@FAE Yeah, it's existed for a long time.
 
@Sterno no, that just makes them suspicious of ulterior motives
 
1:26 PM
@kalina Well then it's even dumber for them to ask in the first place if the only way they'll receive their answers is by not trusting it or crying about it
 
sorry I didn't mean to break my 24 hours of inactivity
bye again
 
@Wipqozn @GraceNote I'm probably going to give up playing Etrian Odyssey. I wasn't particularly enjoying it, but the deciding factor was when dead teammates weren't revived when I slept at the inn.
 
@AATTVVV You need to use the clinic
 
There's an option to resurrect them right there at the inn.
 
It's in the inn, yes
 
1:27 PM
@PrivatePansy Oh, there is an option for that?
I guess it costs extra?
 
Yes
 
I don't know why that wouldn't be built into the cost for the inn.
 
Like 50xlevel or something
 
A little pricy, though. But money shouldn't be a problem.
Cost of reviving one teammate is the same as healing the entire team
 
@PrivatePansy That's not unreasonable.
 
1:28 PM
Of course if you can the medic has a skill that revives a team member
 
@PrivatePansy Not unlocked yet.
I'm really early on.
I also may have accidentally erased my save data by starting over in Classic instead of Story to see what the class options are.
 
That said, if you're not enjoying it, it's not like it gets better. The game is pretty much the same throughout.
 
Yup, that
 
@Sterno Yeah, that's true.
It's not bad, it's just...not much to enjoy either. It just kind of exists.
 
Well, if you hate the mapping, that already ruins like 25% of the game
 
1:30 PM
I personally like the dungeon crawling and especially the cartographic aspects of the game
 
I don't hate it, but it just feels like useless overhead.
 
how do you even make mapping fun?
 
@Sterno Yeah, mapping is a large par tof the fun.
 
I've never played the game, mind you
 
I like mapping. It's relaxing.
 
1:31 PM
also, that reminds me, @stoieajfdW;KEJASKDJ zeus damn it
 
90% of the mapping could be handled automatically.
 
name changes are the worst
is a Wii and Nintendo DS action role-playing game in the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles series developed by Square Enix. The game was released in Japan on January 29, 2009. The North American version was released on March 24, 2009 and the European version was released on March 27, 2009. The Australian version was released on April 2, 2009. Gameplay DS Version The game is still the same as its predecessor, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates, although with many updates and changes. The player still controls the characters through the arrow buttons and use interactive abili...
 
Although some levels are a little tedious
 
I also grew up playing games like Bard's Tale where you had to pull out a pad of graph paper and do it yourself, or fail horribly at the game
 
Also I think I found out that FOEs can still move while you're in battle.
 
1:32 PM
@AATTVVV Yup
 
@AATTVVV Yes
 
Might be hard to find @AATTVVV, FFCC:EOT is an arpg for the Wii/DS. I know you enjoy D3, so you might get a lot of fun out of it on the train.
@AATTVVV Correct.
 
I already wasn't a huge fan of FOEs.
 
It becomes quite important to plan ahead so you don't get sandwiched between many FOEs later on
 
@Wipqozn I will look into it.
 
1:32 PM
FOEs are another part of the fun.
 
FOEs are typically to be avoided at the level you encounter them.
 
Yeah, you're supposed to come back later and fuck their shit up.
 
@PrivatePansy This sounds fine in theory except that it can be a pain to figure out their move patterns.
 
@AATTVVV Try using the map you're drawing to help you
 
@PrivatePansy Honestly, I barely ever even look at the top screen.
 
1:33 PM
the more this conversation goes on the more I feel like you're going to enjoy EOU less and less as it goes on.
 
@Wipqozn Yes, this is the feeling I get too.
 
Yeah, cut the cord now.
 
Yeah. The game really doesn't change much as you go deeper.
 
All I have to do on the train ride home is play this game, though. Once I get home, I can switch.
I guess I could sleep.
 
@PrivatePansy In fact the things he dislikes just become more difficult and prominent.
 
1:35 PM
The thing you don't like about FOEs is exactly why they're there. You're supposed to figure out their movements so you can get past them without fighting them (initially)
 
Is @AATTVVV new or did someone change their name?
 
Can't you use magical mod powers to figure it out?
 
FOEs become harder to avoid the further you go on, and mapping becomes more necessary and time consuming.
 
@fredley he's the late Strixvaria
 
You guys do have a "magic" button, right?
 
1:36 PM
@badp I see
Strix 'Hitler' Varia
 
@Sterno Yes, there seem to be a lot of things in this game are are specifically included for people who like exactly the things I dislike.
 
@AATTVVV: If you're a fan of tennis, then I suggest Mario Tennis for the 3DS.
 
@Sterno Well I can look at @AATTVVV's profile and see their Twitter handle
if that's magic
 
@fredley You could also look at my profile on any site other than Board Games.
 
Clearly you should get MH3U for the 3DS so you can not-play it like I do.
 
1:37 PM
@AATTVVV SO MUCH EFFORT
ASKING LOW QUALITY QUESTIONS IS EASIER
 
@Sterno @stricjdsifjdaKJDAISDJ already owns it for Wii and doesn't play it.
Althouhg if he bought it on 3DS he'd actually have time to play it. Plus he could transfer his data between the wii and 3ds.
 
@Wipqozn True gamers not-play a game on multiple systems.
 
@Sterno Hey me too, hi five!
I occasionally open it just to go 'ooooh, 3D', then immediately close it to play a game whose mechanism and controls actually makes sense
4
 
@Sterno PC not-gaming master race disagrees.
 
I'm enjoying Bravely Default on the 3DS. If you like Final Fantasy type games I would recommend it.
 
1:40 PM
@Sterno This is next in my queue after EO.
I may take a break from games on the train to read the new Sanderson novel, though.
That should be coming out any day.
 
It also has some options that I view as cheating but are very useful to get rid of annoyances that FF games have... you can set the random encounter rate down to zero if you want
 
Man, I can't wait until my break so I can play some mario tennis. Dry Bowser and I are in the championship match against Mario and Luigi.
 
20 hours ago, by Origami Robot
I keep my 3DS on the floor of my apartment because I regret buying it.
 
I also played through the singles cup as Dry Bowser and beat Wet Bowser in the finals.
 
@Wipqozn I always liked Mario Tennis on N64 or whatever platform it was originally released for.
 
1:41 PM
@AATTVVV I think it first came out on the NES.
 
@Wipqozn The first relevant one to my childhood, then.
 
@Wipqozn You mean Moist Bowser?
 
@AATTVVV I have to save that for August when my next kid is born. I read the first book of that series while waiting with my wife in the delivery room for kid #1, so I figure I'll do the same with book #2
 
Then there was a gameboy color version, then n64, then gba, then gamecube, then 3ds.
 
Of course, it's planned to be a 10 book series, so maybe this is a bad plan.
 
1:41 PM
Or Juicy Bowser?
 
@Sterno You read that entire book in a hospital? I hope I never spend that much time in a hospital.
 
the GBC one was fantastic. It was mad eby the same company that did Golden Sun. It was a tennis RPG. It was great.
@AATTVVV I'm sure you will when your child is waiting to exist.
 
@OrigamiRobot The 3DS has been an excellent buy for me, though this is when they cut the cost of the XL to USD150
 
@AATTVVV They induced labor and it took about 30 hours. I didn't get the whole thing done, but I finished over the next few days while my daughter mostly slept on my chest.
 
wait, wait wiat.
@Sterno is having another baby? My word!
I was unaware of this.
How old your daughter now? 2 years?
 
FAE
1:43 PM
@Wipqozn Will be in June.
 
@badp The game itself doesn't, mechanically, so to speak.
 
@Sterno That is so many hours.
 
@PrivatePansy I haven't really enjoyed any game I've gotten for it.
 
I don't know, I've thought the 3DS has had the best lineup of games out of any console last year
 
@GraceNote is it like a "make one step, pause, mark as floor, look at wall, mark as wall, look at opposite wall, mark as wall" loop?
 
1:44 PM
@Sterno Also does this mean you're planning to have at least 8 more children after these 2, one for each book in the series?
@badp Yes.
 
Of course some genres work better on the handheld than others
 
@AATTVVV No. That might be why this is a bad plan.
 
@badp Well, I'm pretty sure I describe it in a post, but usually you look at the full room you're in and map it all out.
 
Also, I actually enjoyed the 3D, much to my surprise, which I think helped too
 
@AATTVVV Well, it was really just the last 6 or so that were uncomfortable for her
@Wipqozn 2 in June
 
1:45 PM
If you have depth-perception and can read the walls, you can map out the walls of much more than what is adjacent to you.
 
Oh, @FAE was on it.
 
I can only think of two zones in the entirety of the series where wall positions were hard to discern in the 3D landscape.
 
I may come back to EO after other games and give it another chance, now that I know what I'm getting myself into.
 
@GraceNote does it have long corridors of mostly-nothing à la Nethack or is it more like Crawl and Brogue with more rooms than corridors?
 
That sounds pretty fair.
 
1:46 PM
@GraceNote Maybe my depth perception is bad, but I have real difficulty judging distance
@badp Some levels are roomy, others are corridor-ey
 
The layouts would have to be pretty damn interesting to make mapping fun
 
@badp I'd go more for Brogue but you have sections that are mostly corridors.
 
@Hiroto Beep boop. I am a robot as well.
 
@badp Technically one of the most interesting places to map is the place no one likes.
I wonder how much "B28" sends shudders down @Sterno and @Wipqozn's collective spines.
 
I haven't been there yet.
I think I was on B26 when I stopped
 
1:48 PM
also damn you to heck Megaman. Damn you to heck and back
this section is your fault.
 
It's hard to grind in EO because enemies give so little XP and it takes so long to battle. And the day ticking through its stages makes me feel like the game is counting the days and something bad is going to happen to me if I don't hurry up.
 
@AATTVVV The game does make its grinding ridiculously streamlined, though
 
@AATTVVV I could tell you what time affects.
 
@GraceNote Yes, please.
 
@GraceNote Floor jump kind of ruined that.
 
1:49 PM
@PrivatePansy Streamlined? How so?
 
@Wipqozn ...really?
 
@PrivatePansy as in hold A for 30 seconds to win?
 
Oh wait, no it didn't.
 
@AATTVVV It only affects the respawn timers for FOEs.
 
à la Chronotrigger? :P
 
1:49 PM
Well sort of
 
@GraceNote Ok that's not bad.
 
@AATTVVV Set up a circular auto-walk route, tap L to auto-battle when you meet a monster
 
If anything, time passing faster tends to be what you want more of in the end-game.
 
@PrivatePansy Auto-walk?
 
@GraceNote I'd just use an escape rope and then jump back to B26, and take the stairs to B27.
 
1:50 PM
If there's an auto-walk thing that could be really easy, actually.
I will look into this tonight on the train.
 
@AATTVVV They added one starting EO3, yeah.
 
All-terrain venomoth v dragonite was hilarious
 
@AATTVVV I don't actually use it much. I set it up to walk myself to certain resource points, but that's it
 
I use it for quick routes to big targets. Experience handling gets a bit easier into the later parts of the game since you'll have bigger targets to farm up.
But I am harkening back to EO2, where I trained up to level 15 on the first floor.
That took a while.
 
Because floor jump is available if you just want to go back to the deepest part of the dungeon
@GraceNote Was the exp curve different back then? Because the curve seems to be more exponential than anything else
Which would make it rather uneconomical to grind anything that's, say, +5 of your deepest explored level
 
1:55 PM
@PrivatePansy No, I just learned from my experiences in EO1 about charging into the second floor.
I did have EXP boosting song from the Troubadour, though.
Also EO2 is the worst of the games in terms of levelling up.
 
I got curious when I saw I had a file named "sterno.html" on my school server.
 
- FOEs do not give experience.
- To level break, you need to retire at your current level max. This increases your maximum level by 1 each time.
- Each character has a separate level max.
