@Yuuki That seems like appropriate headcanon.

Tim Stone

Urgh, why is the hit detection in this game so horrible? x_x

badp

@TimStone Borderlands has horrible hit detection?!

Tim Stone

Trying to turn in this one sidequest and I have to make a particular jump and it's like "lol actually you clipped that non-rectangular thing by being even remotely close to it which is instadeath go back to the start which is super far away."

Unionhawk

@TimStone Okay, so it isn't just claptrap then

Q: When warning a nation, under what conditions do you get a call to arms?

I am playing as Ming and have sent a warning to Orissa and Ayutthaya. According to eu4wiki: "This will give you a call to arms if the target country attacks one of your neighbors. Country A cannot warn country B if B has already warned A. Lasts 20 years." However, Orissa and Ayutthaya seem to be ...

@badp I seem to remember BL2 being better where if I aimed right I could hit enemies crouching behind barriers too if part of them was exposed. But every time I try that in this one it decides to hit some random spot behind them instead. At ~97% accuracy I would have figured I'd get at least one hit in every now and then.

Q: Why doesn't my Minecraft server work?

This is supposed to be a catch-all question for questions seeking for a solution to get their Minecraft server hosted at home working. Have you ever tried to set up a Minecraft server which you hosted yourself, at home, possibly on your PC? Then probably you have also experienced it not work...

@TimStone Clearly the game wants you to go badabim-bazoom-wooga-pow-wow with jetpacks and whatnot

Tim Stone

It's true, it does want me to butt-slam them

MBraedley

@TimStone I'm finding the same thing, to some extents. It's like they did an even sloppier job mapping the world boundaries to the textures.

Chippies

from what I've seen in trailers, BL1.5 has a lot of stupid mechanics I don't care about

like the butt-slam and jetpacks

is it as stupid as it seems?

MBraedley

@Chippies Butt slam is actually useful and kinda fun.

Chippies

@MBraedley oh I bet it's useful. I guess my main issue with butt-slam is that it's directly related to jetpacks

MBraedley

8:32 PM

And the jetpacks add a lot of verticality that wasn't possible before.

Chippies

and I don't like flying enemies, even if I can fly

MBraedley

@Chippies There were flying enemies in BL1 and BL2

Chippies

@MBraedley and I did not like them either

MBraedley

Now they just have guns

Chippies

but they were just that - flying enemies

now it seems that pretty much anything can fly

MBraedley

8:34 PM

<hippy voice> you need to get into the third dimension, man </hippy>

Chippies

@MBraedley <grumpy old man voice> but I like my 2 dimensions! I don't want NEW dimensions! CHANGE IS BAD!!! </old man>

Tim Stone

Wait, what are "jetpacks" for the player? The O2 boosts?

Chippies

> CHANGE IS BAD!!!

is that one of the many Bridge mottos?

MBraedley

@TimStone Yes, but some enemies can also stay aloft indefinitely

EmoJS now supports Emoji number keys and javascript operators!

8:40 PM

@RedRiderX your EmoJS page needs better SEO, I can't find it on google

RedRiderX

@Chippies I haven't submitted it to google yet.

Chippies

you should take lessons from @Wipqozn socks

RedRiderX

Waiting on 1.0 before I promote it more

Tim Stone

@MBraedley right, right

RedRiderX

@Chippies Right now you can find it at emojs.github.io

Tim Stone

8:41 PM

@Chippies Not really, the player can mostly just do extended jumps, not just like float around forever

Chippies

@RedRiderX thanks for the link

@TimStone low gravity is lame too

I'm glad I don't like BL1.5 (I have only watched one trailer)

life is so much cheaper when you don't like things!

Tim Stone

I dunno, being able to jump further makes some things a little less annoying. :P

badp

Chippies

@TimStone or it could've been implemented so it's not annoying without having to have low gravity :P

badp

Not this again

Unionhawk

8:43 PM

@Chippies While I agree with this particular sentiment, I respect your right to be Wrong on the Internet about pretty much everything else :P

badp

Not @Wipqozn is so bright, no stats can really outshine him

Tim Stone

@Chippies Yeah, let's not talk about the level design annoyances. -_-

Chippies

@Unionhawk I AM WRONG AND PROUD OF IT!

Unionhawk

@Chippies That's the spirit!

Man, thanks @badp for turning the "@Uni is wrong" thing into something 100% less "Let's just make fun of @Uni"

badp

@Unionhawk You mean there was a difference?

Whoo, fixed my old 3DS!

There was something up with the wireless card, so I just opened it up and fiddled with it.

And tada, fixed!

Q: Is there a FLOSS realtime strategy PC game which allows programming of AI support for the current player?

In most realtime strategy PC games I suffer from both being bored by repeating decisions and commands during the economy construction and incapacities during combat. I guess this is intended for most of the games I played (warzone2100, Zero-K on Spring RTS), so that better players are not only th...

Q: How many slots do the new research labs in Eve Online have?

I reactivated Eve yesterday and my old POS was still there. So I reactivated it and found out that the modules have changed drastically. I have 1 Research Lab and 1 Designer Lab going, but I can't find the maximum amount of PE/ME/Copy Slots for the hell of it. What are the new limits for those m...

Q: Morphling vs Bristleback

Should I main Morphling, Bristleback or both? If I main morphling then I will be able to haras but if I main Bristleback then I will have better potential to kill the enemy. I will go mid if I'm morphling or bristle back and I will go top or bot if I'm Bristleback. I've tried to look on YouTube M...
