Xcom is a pretty cool guy. eh kills aleins and doesn't afraid of anything

Q: What types of cover are indestructible, or require more than one action to destroy?

DarthPizzaI've noticed that some types of cover in the game are completely indestructible. One example are cars. While you can blow a car up, it won't actually destroy it as a piece of cover that you or enemies can hide behind. I've also noticed that some types of trees actually require more than one acti...

Q: Which special editions of the PS4 feature the updated power supply?

Bryan FI have heard the PS4 has recently been updated. I like some of the changes, including the mechanical power and eject buttons, but I especially like the improved power supply.

Q: How do I tell when a car will blow up?

DCShannonUsing an explosive to blow up a car next to an enemy is a great way to get some extra damage in. However, I'm not always sure when the car is going to explode. Sometimes, it explodes immediately, sometimes it blows up at the start of the next turn, and sometimes it takes all the way until the st...

In case you were on the fence about Codex (asynchronous card game meant to have the strategy of RTS games), know that there is a card called Revolver Ocelot that is a literal ocelot with a revolver.
He coincidentally posted a picture of it since I mentioned it.

Q: Did patch 1.3 change the Lone Wanderer perk?

boomstickThe first time I loaded Fallout 4 after installing the latest patch the VDSG entry on the loading screen told me about the Lone Wanderer perk and said it applies when traveling without a companion or dog. I've never seen this particular entry before, or never noticed it anyway. Did it always say...

 
1:47 AM
@StrixVaria /cc @twobugs
I told you moving straight in their face was a legit strat
 
And I told you it would give you bad accuracy ;)
 
@StrixVaria That dude is probably poisoned
 
I like that you can see the outline of the Sectoid's head through the gun
Anyway, some weapon classes get a penalty for close range encounters. I believe rifles might be one of them? I know shotguns get a stupid huge bonus at close range
(It's like +40% under 5 tiles for Shotguns I think)
 
@twobugs To the point where shotguns are more accurate than blades, IIRC.
 
Yes, and have higher damage even AFTER blade modifiers
 
1:53 AM
So pretty much, even though blades are cool, send all hunters down the other tree.
 
There are some decent blade skills I think. And it's nice to always be able to attack the same turn you dash.
But for pure damage? Shotguns are superior
 
@murgatroid99 oh I get it, CLEARLY the answer is 21 because while each row sums up to 42, it is well known that 42 = 6*9 = 54.
ALSO 21 = 42/2, COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT
AND WHAT IS 2 IF NOT 5-2
5-2+2=5-(2+2)=5-4=five-four=54
 
So uh. Sanders got 60% of the vote in New Hampshire, Clinton got 40%. And yet, Clinton is likely to receive as many if not more delegates from New Hampshire. Democracy!
 
checkmate atheists
the loominati lizardfolks have you fooled, sheeple
 
@twobugs superdelegates. lawl
 
2:01 AM
So much of the American political system is stupid as hell.
 
well yes
 
Superdelegates are awful. Electoral college doesn't really work or serve a purpose in 2016.
And don't get me started on our voting system which is demonstrably non-optimal
Congressional Districts? Horrible.
 
@twobugs its designed so that the party bosses don't get taken for a ride by the voters
 
@twobugs do you WANT to live in a system where you don't know who's gonna win 80% of the states with years in advance?
spoiler alert, Clinton won like a year ago
they just threw Trump in so you'd be entertained for a while

@twobugs If Sanders gets the popular vote and not the nomination, I'm voting for Trump out of spite and leaving the country.
 
@Yuuki My friend just said the same thing. I'd probably write in something stupid like Son Gokou
 
@twobugs Write-in does less than nothing. At least having the other party win gives some incentive not to do that stuff.
Alternately, write-in Sanders.
 
Wow @ this plot twist from XCOM 2. The aliens came to Earth in XCOM 1 because they were really upset about Benghazi
I'd probably write-in Sanders. If the super delegates destroy the Democratic party before Trump can destroy the Republican party, man...

Q: What is this game called?

AskahKuwestion I guess it's a SNES game, but I don't know the name. Google reverse has failed me. Nothing. Please help me.

 
2:42 AM
@Lazers2.0 Okay, so this user has an image but it's only a partial one and nothing else. Still seems on topic? Rude comment, though
 
@twobugs If they were any sort of intelligent, they wouldn't go against the popular vote unless it's a really, really close margin.
 
It's never been about intelligence, it's been about voter suppression
This has sadly been the story of American politics on both sides of the aisle for too damn long.
 
Unlike the Electoral College, I don't think the current superdelegate system has ever overruled the popular vote.
 
Hm, I feel like this is just "business as usual" but I don't have a source to cite for that
However, similar techniques to superdelegates are routinely employed all over the country to suppress voters
You can't control the demographics of your city and those pesky minorities might start getting people on the city council? Simple - just add "super councilmen" that the entire city votes for to dilute their power!
This job seems nice, but I'd have to buy a car to get there. Bleh.
 
@Wipqozn I actually just started playing it tonight. Failed the first mission a couple times, then just completed it
Lost one soldier, though :(
 
3:05 AM
wat @ this application
"list at least a total of 5 personal references"
So... exactly 5?
 
@twobugs I recognized the game's art style as being from a Quintet game, then found a picture of the tower area from Terranigma that uses the same floor tiles and similar walls.
 
Well I already did the interview so I'm not doing 5 personal references
@Powerlord Hm, I think you're right. Good call
 
In fact, it's probably Tower 4 from Terranigma, but I'm too lazy to start the game to check.

Q: How can I tell how many kills my soldier is away from promotion?

skullyHow can I tell how many kills my soldier is away from promotion?

Q: How can I open up the console in XCOM 2?

3:41 AM
Okay, xcom people, how do I actually equip weapon mods, and this nanoscale vest?
Oh wait, here it is
Okay, I figured out weapon mods, now what do I do with this nanoscale vest?
 
It's an item, takes up the same slot as grenades
Yes, the game is very misleading about that

user15026
@Chippies That's excellent
 
It is indeed :)
 
Sigh, feeling like I'm in a funk lately
Guess I'm just kind of frustrated because I've applied to a bunch of jobs and it's a pain and the ones I'd like to get for convenience reasons aren't responding at all. The one I just interviewed for seems nice but I'd need to get a car (I currently use public transportation) and even a decent used one would be a significant sunk cost
 
user15026
@twobugs That's frustrating :(
 
4:51 AM
@twobugs It's very frustrating looking for a job.
 
Yeah, job stuff stinks
 
It sounds like platitudes, but you can't let it get you down.
 
I'm also hoping to stay with my current employer but move to a different department cause the benefits are great
 
That feeling you get when you get an offer is awesome.
 
@Frank Hah, true enough
I've come full circle on some of those statements. Used to hate them for being so simplistic, but there's some good advice there (even if the hard part is following it)
 
4:53 AM
stun lancers what the fuck
 
Ah, to return to a point in XCOM where Stun Lancers were my biggest annoyance...
(Not that they aren't a pain, but it gets worse)
 
Man, this mission is going very badly
Tried to hack one of those scanner things
It not only destroyed my stealth, but brought in more enemies
 
Aside from the hacks you succeed for story, hacking seemed to be pretty brutal
 
and mission failed
Wait, what
It never gave me an opportunity to restart the mission
 
What difficulty are you playing on?
 
4:58 AM
The second hardest
I'm thinking that may have been a mistake
XCOM 2 is brutal
I may play it through once on the normal difficulty
 
Also do not play on ironman unless you want to suffer
 
Yeah, the problem with ironman is bugs
 
Excuse me
 
Man, every retaliation mission I save exactly 6 civilians. It's always damn close.
@kalina just got killed. I think she's my first KIA
 
Really
Just got shot through two layers of solid cover
 
5:07 AM
That's what you get for not hunkering down.
Everyone knows you should just hide fully behind cover and never, ever shoot back. The aliens might get bored and go home.
My next mission is going to be 5 grenadiers and one sharpshooter, because they're the only ones not wounded. I feel sorry for whatever city they send me to
Also, fuck berserkers
 
Sigh...
I can't wait to get better armour
I hate losing soldiers
 
@twobugs I just watched this and based on the short video, someone just stacked two sets of blocks really, really high?

RyanI found this video on webm land and cant figure out what it is, but it looks fun. Any help would be appreciated. http://webm.land/w/pQHY/

That's the question, if anyone's interested.
I've voted to close already.
 
: Accepting an answer on a question should automatically close and delete the question.
 
5:17 AM
@SaintWacko will keep his rep, so I don't feel guilty about doing so.
 
@Frank Whew!
 
@Sterno Better yet: close every question.
 
: Upvotes/downvotes on questions and answers should have their resulting reputation gains/losses reversed, such that upvotes give -5 (or -10) reputation to the recipient and downvotes grant 0 or 1 to the downvoter.
: When a question is asked, it should immediately be closed and an A/V artifact requested. No special algorithm is needed to check whether or not one actually exists. 99% of the time, this close reason will be correct.
Future mod candidates, feel free to borrow these as your platform when you run.

Q: Can't access downloaded DLC in Lego Batman 3

well
one for work
one for private stuff
 
@Sterno No sir Not yet
 
one for testing
but everything seems to try and get in the awy of that
 
Install Firefox, Beta and Developer. Each of those should create a new profile
I said 'should'. That's my experience on Windows. You might want to check if it actually does
 
You don't get that for free in Ubuntu
 
Yeah, that's what I thought.

Codexes are annoying. I hate that purple swirly attack they do\
Unloads your weapons AND explodes next turn. That's nasty
 
@twobugs Yeah. They hit 4 of my guys with that right when a berserker was charging
Luckily they were mostly grenadiers so they could still blow things up
Poor @kalina died horribly though when a codex split, teleported behind her, and crit her for 12 damage
 
The worst part is how they split whenever you damage them. Got to hit them hard and fast

First time I tried to take on a codex was the same mission Mutons showed up... yeah.
 
Codexes are okay if you're ready for them. They're terrible if you pull them by accident

@PrivatePansy I'm using profile switcher for now
 
My fight that went bad had a codex, 2 stun lancers, a muton berserker, and an advent officer
 
I feel like Mutons seem more manageable In 2. At least the base ones.
 
I'm also considering changing my default browser to a textbox so I can drag and drop the URL to the right place
 
It seems you can grab a copy of the binaries from mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer straight and extract it to /opt
Which should keep a separate profile
 
@badp I hope you play FFIX on Steam when it comes out and try to get Excalibur II. That will be fun to read about

Q: How do I install the Firefox Developer Edition?

blade19899Mozilla released the Firefox Developer Edition! How do I install it on Ubuntu? Source: Mozilla Releases 'Firefox Developer Edition' for Windows, Mac and Linux - OMG! Ubuntu!

 
Secret weapon where you have to reach the final dungeon in under 12 hours
 
@twobugs ffffffffffffff
 
Installing from the PPA will of course upgrade your current Firefox package
 
@PrivatePansy unfortunately right now it seems like the whole reason why I'm using Firefox is because it doesn't do some of the crazy stuff Chrome does, esp. around window management and UI

Or you can wait over two years of game time for the counter to completely roll over!
 
it seems like electrolysis would push me back towards instability
Since system updates on or after Thursday 28th, I have been experiencing complete system freezes when attempting to do tasks such as opening a menu or a window. Compiz manages to draw a shadow around the new window, then everything freezes: * You can SSH into the machine normally * Audio and network work fine * You can move the mouse cursor around * SysRq-REISUB works Everything else doesn't: * Clicking * Typing * Ctrl-Alt-Fn * Ctrl-Alt-Backspace (after having enabled it) * Killing Xorg * Occasionally, killing lightdm/compiz/etc. This has happened both with Unity and Cinnamon, so compiz and friends are not to blame. Xorg.org complains it is the victim: (EE) [mi] These backtraces from mieqEnqueue may point to a culprit higher up the stack. (EE) [mi] mieq is *NOT* the cause. It is a victim. (EE) [mi] EQ overflow continuing. 100 events have been dropped. [...] (EE) [mi] EQ overflow continuing. 1000 events have been dropped. (EE) [mi] No further overflow reports will be reporte

so far the only fix that has improved things is "don't use Chrome"
and it's a terrible workaround but I have to take it
 
@badp e10s is already in the beta channel. According to the roadmap it will be pushed out to release in two version's time
 
oh joy
 
But only for users with add-ons that are compatible
 
@Sterno Yeah, I haven't had much of a problem with the codex. Just shoot'em dead.

@Wipqozn They're like Vipers, IMO. If you can drop em quickly they're simple enough. But if they stick around they're a lot of trouble.
 
I can't wait to go home and play XCOM2 during lunch and be sure to tell @Wipqozn over and over again how I'm playing.
 
I can't wait to go home after work and play XCOM2 but also FF Explorers because I'm really getting into the interesting part of the game
Also Titanfall, that game is a lot of fun but for some reason people don't play it?
It's made by the people who made Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2 after they got fired for asking that their contracts be honored
 
I updated my Watch Dogs godmode answer with the answer from the CS rep
 
I keep forgetting about the gremlin

All that's left is to ask a question here on tactics to make the gun fights more manageable. Since it's a 3rd person cover based shooting, which is a quite frequent mechanic in games, would it be a good idea to ask about tactics for cover based shooting, since they're applicable to more games?
or would that be considered too broad and would thus a question just for Watch_dogs be more suited?
 
I think it depends. I've never played Watch_dogs, how does the shooting in it work? Is it like recent GTA games where you just lock on? Cover based?

Q: How do cheat codes work on Rising Kingdoms?

OakAccording to several websites, on the RTS Rising Kingdoms there are only 7 cheats. According to one of the websites (gamefaqs.com): To enter these cheats hit enter while playing to bring up the chat window and type the codes in, then hit enter again when finished. However, this does not wor...

 
I still don't know why we have a tag
 
@twobugs it's basically run of the mill cover based AFAIK. You have an arena where the combat happens, it has a bunch of enemies and low and high cover, you snap into cover, avoid grenades, I believe you also have health regen
 
Hm. That sounds like it would work as a general question, but I guess I really don't know enough about the game to have a meaningful opinion
 
2:56 PM
Although it's been a few months since I last played it
 
@Sterno Yeah. We have a tag, I think we should have a tag as well
 
Actually, now that I remember, there is also an element of stealth in there, with silenced guns, noise, being able to thin enemies out before you attack. I think both questions have their merit TBH
because, while cover-based shooting is pretty frequent in current games, there's often a gimmick that mixes things up and makes some advice irrelevant
 
Yeah, sounds like they both have good answers. There would be some overlap, but I don't seem a problem with them co-existing
