@Sterno You know. I almost clicked that until I saw it was FROM YOU!!! Pft!

It is silly cold outside.

@Frank ROFL I must Skyped a co-worker asking if it was freezing In here or just me :D

@James It actually took me a few minutes to get that @Sterno was making a joke. When I saw his message I just assumed he was taking about the Friday song. Black Friday the "holiday" didn't even occur to me.

Frank

@James -18.

James

@Wipqozn Haha, Niiice man :D

@Frank C or F?

Wipqozn

@James Probably both.

@Frank lives in one of the coldest provinces in Canada.

James

@Wipqozn Fn C?? :D

Frank

@James C

Wipqozn

8:07 PM

His province makes the rest of Canada look l like Florida by comparison.

James

Yeah I dont wish cold upon anyone

I had to walk to school in my mid and high school years

Some times the temps were -20F... which is a might bit colder than the C versions but hell

Anything below 50F is too cold

Jason Berkan

@Wipqozn I was going to argue, but it's only -17 here.

Frank

@James -18 C = 0 F.

Q: Is there a certain order to visiting all these locations?

It seems like every time I visit the War Table, there's another new area unlocked. It always asks me if I want to gather my party and go but usually I decline because I'm still working on another area. And by the time I finish that area, I have 5 or 6 more open and ready for exploration. How do I...

@Frank I know I looked it up man :)

Frank

@James So did I.

Your strange temperature system doesn't make sense to me.

James

D: google didnt tell you it was -0.4f?

When you are that cold .4 counts :D

Frank

@James I rounded.

James

You are at the very least! -0F :)

Which everyone knows is a lot colder than +0F

It actually made me chuckle. I typed int -18C in and auto-complete just said -0.4F :D

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan YOu and @Frank basically live in the same province

James

@badp Well, you can watch you dog run away for days, as the joke goes.

@Unionhawk #whywhywhywhywhy

also fall damage is annoying

Unionhawk

@badp I dunno. Back in those days, I was content with 360p. I probably rendered and uploaded in 360p for reasons.

Fall damage allows for quick wipes in Payday 2, so...

Otherwise you have to wait for police spawns, or, now, hope enough friendly players have grenades to blow you up with.

badp

@Unionhawk oh that was your attempt to surrender

@fredley You don't own a device that has Windows or Linux or OSX on it? (Wait, did they release an OSX version?)

- Fixed a client crash related to achievements
- Fixed a client crash related to Spy animations
- Fixed a client crash related to the Spectator HUD
- Fixed changes to video settings not being saved between sessions
- Fixed not being able to block control points from being captured
- Fixed not respawning instantly after changing loadout in a respawn room
- Fixed Medi Gun prediction stuttering when using tf_medigun_autoheal
- Fixed the Necro Smasher not falling into the world properly when dropped

"Fixed not respawning instantly after changing loadout in a respawn room" I'll believe it when I see it.

"Fixed Medi Gun prediction stuttering when using tf_medigun_autoheal" Same here, seeing as how this has been broken for several years.

badp

@Powerlord +don't

Powerlord

Actually, the autoheal stuttering has been in the game since they added that option

Unionhawk

I've never liked how tf_medigun_autoheal worked, mechanically. I think I have a script that works a lot better? I don't remember.

@fredley The grow games are fun.

Powerlord

Phew, Valve didn't change any gamedata that my plugins use.

badp

@Unionhawk is "autoheal" the thing where you click on a patient instead of holding?

Unionhawk

@badp I think so

badp

I've never noticed it stutter.

Powerlord

@badp It stutters at the very start, as soon as you let go of the mouse button (it turns off and then back on).

badp

10:29 PM

oh

eh

DwarfSlice

@fredley the grow series isn't really idle

fredley

@DwarfSlice shhhhhhh

Unionhawk

I think the script I have binds mouse1 to -attack when medigun is out, or something like that, and does +attack otherwise when medigun is out

I don't remember

Powerlord

I've also seen the auto-medigun thing turn on and off and on and off as if it can't decide if the patient is in range.

Oh hey, turns out its going home time

4 day weekend, woo!

Unionhawk

Yeah, I think that was my main real problem with the setting

Tim Stone

10:40 PM

Oh, Ubisoft is making the upcoming DLC free for everyone as part of an apology for the release issues with Unity.

And for people who bought the season pass, a free Ubisoft game (from a given selection)

Given that they at least seem committed to addressing the issues as quickly as possible I think that's a pretty decent response. Only better thing would have been to not have the issues at launch, but as @spugsley's adventures in DA:I boning have shown that seems to be a continuing industry problem more than a publisher-specific one. :P

@Frank They even detailed exactly what they were planning to do, so we know it wasn't just something they said to say!

(that is, saying they'd actually deploy something in the first place, not the whole bit about them claiming they wouldn't)

Frank

@TimStone And their plans are basically not running fiber, just turning on the bandwidth that already exists.

@Chippies Personally, GW2 is pretty much the only game I play. I complete my dailies at least 6 days out of the week.

@DwarfSlice you don't get to own it if you buy on physical media either

it's just harder for anyone to take away your licensed copy of the game on the disk

DwarfSlice

true I guess

Chippies

if you buy it digitally and make a backup (assuming it doesn't require online connection), it's no different than having it on a CD

in fact, you may as well burn it onto a disk and it's gonna be the same thing :P

nowadays the games on disks still include the key for steam/origin/uplay and the disk is just so you don't have to download the game
