@Yuuki Scratch that, go with wizard

Ronan Forman

@Ohnana Nope. That answers that.

two bugs

I don't think you should base what character to play on a random speedfarming build

ardaozkal

I was like: Wiz sucks on everything

apparently not everything

hence I linked that.

Sterno

Wish I could find my first chat message. Not sure what to search for.

Yuuki

@twobugs Oh, I was doing that random spinning thing from yesterday and got Female Wizard.

And then @ardaozkal was like, "Nope, Wizard was nerfed and blows."

ardaozkal

3:36 PM

@Sterno search it

chat.stackexchange.com/…

Kevin van der Velden

So you ignored him and went with wizard?

It's what I would do

two bugs

It just seems completely laughable to say something is bad before you can even truly measure it

Plus this is the internet so even if the most overpowered thing in the universe was nerfed by 0.01% people would decry it as worthless

ardaozkal

@twobugs PTR has season started.

two bugs

@ardaozkal I'm aware of that, but if you've played Diablo you'd see builds develop over the season and end up pretty different from the pre-season conjecture

ardaozkal

@twobugs ikno

two bugs

If you know that then why are you telling people that a class is worthless before the season has started?

ardaozkal

3:39 PM

But wiz sucked on all seasons until now, and the best build on s4 is now nerfed, hence I said that.

Seeing that there are already good builds out there make me regret saying it though.

two bugs

Wizard didn't suck in all the previous seasons, though...?

I'm going to refer to my previous statement that people on the internet are really hyperbolic

nukeforum

@ardaozkal Lightning build was pretty cash, just not great in gr30+

Prismatic wiz was really really good

GodEmperorDune

RIP alan rickman

Sterno

At least it wasn't a spoon.

StrixVaria

I was going to pick my class for this season at random, but then I randomly got Wizard and immediately wanted to reroll, so now I need to come up with some other way of picking.

It's become more a matter of which seems like it would be the least of a chore rather than which one sounds the most fun.

two bugs

3:52 PM

You've introduced a selection strategy and now your class choice is insecure

StrixVaria

Maybe I should sit out a season.

Or maybe I should play Wizard and just use arcane torrent which always seemed like it should be fun but was outclassed by other skills.

Sterno

I did the random roller thing and got Male Barbarian, which is all I ever play anyway

two bugs

Barbarian has just felt boring to me recently

I haven't played in a few seasons, though

StrixVaria

IMO Barbarian is the worst designed class in D3.

two bugs

I was always going to do Wizard and/or Crusader this season anyway

StrixVaria

3:54 PM

Just trying to pick 6 skills that make any sense together took me entirely too long.

two bugs

Haven't played Crusader since ROS launch and they're actually playable now

Sterno

I have fond memories of tanking Inferno back when it was hard

two bugs

Man, ROS launch Crusader stunk

StrixVaria

I had a Monk from back then whose sole purpose was to not die.

two bugs

I think even Monk was slightly better but Crusader got buffed to be useful quicker

StrixVaria

3:55 PM

I just sat in the middle of groups of enemies and tried to be sticky enough that the 2 glass cannon wizards dealing damage could kill the elite groups before they enraged.

That was fun in a way.

Sterno

Getting through Act 2 Inferno was tough.

And actually felt like an accomplishment.

Not one I actually would want to have to repeat, though.

StrixVaria

I remember the first time I went to Inferno difficulty, right after beating Diablo in Hell.

I was killed by the white zombies before you get to town.

two bugs

I didn't even make it into Inferno at D3 launch. Game just felt so boring to me

SaintWacko

@twobugs Same here

Sterno

Mostly I had fun if I was playing with other people. Solo, it made me sleepy.

ARPGS do that to me for some reason. I literally start falling asleep while playing

two bugs

3:58 PM

I mean, I still played it more than Path of Snore or Snorelight 2

StrixVaria

@Sterno This happens to me too.

That tends to be my cue that the season is over for me.

two bugs

That also happens to me... does that mean I'm old now?

StrixVaria

Once the game becomes grindy enough that I literally fall asleep at the computer.

My character has died because I fell asleep in battle.

ardaozkal

@twobugs I consider myself young, and that sometimes happens to me too. So, you are young.

@twobugs yes

Maybe old is the new young...

Unionhawk

@twobugs no

ardaozkal

@Unionhawk So I'm old? Well, ok.

Kevin van der Velden

Your 2 bugs, the average lifespan of a bug isn't very long, and lifespan doesn't really increase when there are 2 of you

@twobugs I dunno, not 50% at once though

@MBraedley new job or just moving with the old one?

Unionhawk

I wouldn't expect a dargon to understand a concept like mortality

MBraedley

@KevinvanderVelden Just changing office within the building. I finally have a window!

Kevin van der Velden

A: The MIT License – Clarity on Using Code on Stack Overflow and Stack Exchange

In essence, this proposal is to move from a copyleft license (CC-BY-SA 3.0) to a permissive license for code. (By default, it's basically the most permissive license possible, nearly equivalent to public domain with a liability disclaimer.) Having thought about it for a couple of hours, I've sh...

Ohnana

ardaozkal

Ohnana

as long as you're not plagiarizing SO and then selling a product with the plagiarism in it

murgatroid99

4:38 PM

@Ohnana Programmers, at least, know there's this thing called "edge cases"

Ohnana

@murgatroid99 true, pseudocode can go either way

but there's no real world situation where pseudocode would ever be part of a functioning project

murgatroid99

@Ohnana Multiple things can go either way

Are comments code?

Ohnana

what? no.

murgatroid99

They're in code blocks. The compiler knows what to do with them.

What about commented-out code, then?

Ohnana

comments have no bearing on the function of the program, so calling it "code" is a stretch

murgatroid99

4:43 PM

@Ohnana So, if I put code in an answer in a code block, it counts as code, but if I surround part of it with /* */, that part doesn't count?

GnomeSlice

what about emoticons

people like those

Ohnana

@murgatroid99 well, that's not code

fredley

@murgatroid99 Do attributions stack?

Ohnana

that is a comment. that is you talking

murgatroid99

@Ohnana But the whole answer is just me talking

fredley

4:45 PM

If I quote another SO answer in my answer, would I need to attribute it? Would someone else need to attribute both?

ardaozkal

What about community wikis, who is the licensor?

Ohnana

@murgatroid99 ...no

ardaozkal

@fredley make it three lel

(it wouldn't be nice for you, but still)

murgatroid99

@Ohnana ...yes

Sterno

4:46 PM

The most interesting thing about this license thing to me is that they took upvotes on the question to mean "Yeah, this is exactly what we want". Which is pretty much what we always tell people upvote on questions DON'T mean.

Ohnana

@fredley citing procedure would dictate that you quote both while preserving the relationship

murgatroid99

@Sterno It mostly does mean that on meta sites

Dragonrage

emojis can be code though, as you can use them as variable names in swift

Dragonrage

4:53 PM

@ardaozkal quite possibly, im sure there are other languages that allow it, i just knew swift did it for certain, because 🍏 loves emojis.

ardaozkal

@Sterno It seems to be a bit more nuanced than that. Re: your comment about upvote meaning.

Dragonrage
