@PrivatePansy Oh, you mean the fact that they "allow" those ads. They actually don't. Unfortunately, as we know, making a rule against something doesn't magically make every instance of that thing disappear
 
@badp 6 hours i think
 
Installing heat sinks is hard
 
@arda that was about the hardest thing i did when building my pc

Q: DotA 2 Hero Filtering

DavidEclipseReal quick question: What are the three rectangles under the "Carry" class at the bottom of the screen? If you don't understand what I mean, I will add some red circles to where the three rectangles are.

 
@arda Harder when you didn't realise the heatsink had a backplate and already started screwing in the motherboard, too |:
 
5:01 PM
like we just spent a few hours trying bc the friend was scared of benting
 
@TimStone yea, i did that
 
@TimStone At least for me it was 'only' a piece of plastic
Still messed up the thermal paste bad enough that I had to go out and buy a new tube
 
Whoops, heh
 
i will have to get some more when i upgrade my pc i think
 
@Dragonrage The one on the CPU I presume? The rest of the ones around the case should be straightforward
 
5:04 PM
@PrivatePansy yea
 
man, the gap between cpu and fan was so big that we hardly screwed it a bit AND mobo is very slightly bent
 
Recently helped a friend install a new Skylake CPU. The cooler that came with the CPU was really easy to install... once we figured out the instruction
 
as in not really visible nor damaging
 
For some reason they've decided to follow Ikea and print the instructions with no words
 
@PrivatePansy yeah. the one we built has no text too
and it was very confusing
 
5:06 PM
Presumably to save on translations. The instructions were awful though
I thought Ikea's were bad enough
Can't be that expensive to translate a few words. They did it for the warranty card
 
fml
like the friend hands me a flash drive, and it has the virus I hte the most
 
Scan all thumbdrives before using them, disable autoplay. If possible, look for those drive with a read-only switch
 
@PrivatePansy I have autoplay disabled
 
@PrivatePansy Doesn't stop BadUSB
 
I didnt get infected.
I recognized it on sight, and wondered if defender would take action.
 
5:10 PM
@murgatroid99 Huh, firmware level exploits are really nasty
 
@GnomeSlice Isn't the Paragon Essentials Edition already out?
 
Most thumbdrive virus are not that sophisticated, thankfully
 
Also, Amazon has it listed for me at $27.12, which feels like a hell of a steal.
 
oh, i need to play Paragon.
i downloaded it

Q: Does the effects of poison stack in Kingdom Rush?

PantsIn Kingdom Rush, one of the upgrades for for the lvl 4 Archer's Tower is poison, which deals 15, 30, or 45 damage over 3 seconds depending on how upgraded it is. Let's assume that I have 2 maxed out Archer's Towers right next to each other. If both towers hit a minion at the same time, which of...

 
5:15 PM
@PrivatePansy That's the reason we got special phone charging cables at work that disable the data connection
 
Oh, USB condoms
 
Well that was fun
Food arrived 30 minutes after everyone was done eating, pretty much
 
holy shit
this guy has a i7 pc with 8gb ram and gtx860.
his pc has so many viruses that even the simplest thing takes minutes
 
That's the first time I've ever explicitly written "0" for tip
 
I'll now nuke it from high orbit
 
5:27 PM
@Unionhawk Good, that level of service sucks
Shitty for everyone but man
 
Everyone else was asking me why I didn't fight for comp and it's like "I don't care that much"
I did technically receive food, eventually
 
Was it still warm?
Maybe the kitchen just got fuct
 
It was, so yeah
But, still
 
Yeah, that's not acceptable
 
I haven't had too much trouble with servers.
 
5:32 PM
It's p good though so benefit of the doubt I think is in order
 
I probably wouldn't fight for comp either because that's a pain
But no tip is absolutely warranted
 
And almost every time my food is slightly delayed, I get some kind of compensation.
 
I would have taken it if offered
 
Unlike my friend who ordered a BRC burrito. They brought him two plates. One with a bean and cheese burrito, and one with rice. They were like oh, we forgot to put the rice in the burrito, so here is a plate of rice to go with your burrito.
 
Man this is so annoying
We use like 10 different versions of the same library in compiling and developing parts of this project
The version I need now isn't even checked in
Because why would you check in necessary library files

Shadow Z.In X and Y, there was Le Wow and the other restaurants, which allowed the player to get lots of money through battling.

Q: Pokemon go not working on mobile data

NatalieI got Pokemon go the day it came out and had been working fine up until the latest update that removed thee footsteps, now when ever I go out of WiFi range I can't use the app it no longer loads, all other apps work with mobile data but this doesn't. I have a Samsung s5 and am in the UK so it sho...

 
do the berries also increase their chance to run?
 
increases chances of staying in ball.
i don't think it affects run rates
 
Skype what the hell did you just do
Why did you log me out and turn into Skype Preview which is stupid and I hate it
Why did you log me into a different account without my consent
 
@twobugs the answer is Microsoft
 
5:50 PM
Trainers, a new bug affecting throw accuracy increases the odds of escape and omits the XP bonus. We are working on a fix, stay tuned...
 
you have no consent
oh my
 
they dont say what the bug is, only that they broke more stuff
 
the game isn't even remotely worth it anymore
Niantic is digging them selves a deeper and deeper hole
 
@Kaizerwolf Until tracking is fixed, the game is worthless.
 
agreed
 
5:52 PM
I guess Niantic's solution to the overwhelming demand is to make their game less and less fun until they reach a good balance
 
Niantic always fixed things by removing them.
I don't know why anyone's surprised.
 
they did update their picture for data though
 
I need help with a game identification, but don't have any screen shots, anyone down to help me figure it out?
 
still have no units
@CBredlow possibly
 
5:53 PM
Apple II game, RPG. One of the enemies was venomous sheep
 
@Dragonrage Still useless without any actual values.
For all we know, it's a 0.1% drop.
 
an Apple II? you bucking to fire one up and play this game?
 
@Frank yea, graphs are useless if there is no units
 
It probably isn't 0.1%
Could it be? Eh, maybe
But, probably not
 
Probably not, no.
But the point stands; graphs without values are worthless.
 
5:57 PM
a graph?
 
They're too damn easy to manipulate to show whatever you want.
 
It's probably on the order of 50 million additional requests per whatever gone, considering that's apparently how many people used pokevision
 
@Kaizerwolf that picture does about a good of job depicting the difference before and after as the one they posted
 
You know, with that value adjusted for actual concurrent players

Q: Does the room level affect how much damage deathclaws will do in a room?

BarDoes room level effect the the amount of damage deathclaws will do or how easily they can be killed?

 
5:58 PM
how about this one?
the x curve says it all, PoGo players are down
 
@Unionhawk Is it? I sincerely doubt it.
 
@Frank According to a letter from the creator of pokevision apparently, iirc
A lot of people used pokevision
 
@Unionhawk That's how many people used it.
That's not how many requests were made.
Nor does it take caching and other things into account.
 
I feel like that number is in the right ballpark
 
You're throwing numbers against a wall, hoping one will stick.
Truth is, we have no idea what it actually is.
5 mins ago, by Frank
But the point stands; graphs without values are worthless.
 
6:02 PM
We can make educated guesses though, and considering how many people used it, it's reasonable to assume at least that the number is large
 
There's no point in guessing.
 
Why not?
 
It's literally just wild assed guesses.
 
"Large" is an unreasonable guess?
 
without labels there's nothing we can meaningfully interpret here beyond "it went down by literally any possible amount"
 
6:04 PM
@Kaizerwolf Nah, wasn't planning it, but I just remember playing this game but don't remember the name
 
I get that Niantic doesn't want to divulge how many resources trackers were taking up, but that graph does nothing to help their point.
 
@TimStone Maybe it went down negatively!
 
It shows what they want to show, without actually offering anything concrete.
 
@CBrewlow unfortunately I never had an Apple II or the pleasure of playing with venomous sheep, sorry
 
@SirTapTap hell I've seen people pull things like this https://t.co/NwDKHBZymP
Maybe!
 
6:05 PM
@Kaizerwolf Gotcha, too bad I don't have screenshots otherwise I'd post to the site for help
Google's given me nothing
 
yeah, google is usually pretty unhelpful, with increasing degrees of shit the older and less popular the game is
 
@Kaizerwolf I want to say Oregon Trail, or something similiar.
 
The thing is, there's a novel too. I don't remember the name of it, and posted the story to the sff site
@Frank Oh definitely not Oregon trail. It was a fantasy rpg, and one of the races was some sort of kangaroo.
I remember the graphics for it, it was sheep with vampire fangs too
 
A fantasy RPG on the Apple II/e?
I can't say I've heard of that.
 
6:09 PM
@Frank it couldn't be Oregon Trail, it died of dysentery
 
It was in color, and there was basic animation, and kind of turn based. I know it wasn't Wizardry because the graphic styles were different
 
Yay, now we're up from 1 error to 109!
 
@Frank The Wizardry series was on Apple II/e and the gs

Q: Why can I only have one Pokemon in the gym battle, and not have 5 in a row?

SusanI used to go into the gym and it would show six Pokemon who would fight in a row, and when one died the next one would start immediately. Now I can only have one in battle at a time. How can I change this?

 
@RedRiderX 9gag is this pear
 
@Dragonrage This is why I like you
 
6:52 PM
9gag is where humor goes to die
 
@Wipqozn because i provide such great entertainment?
@twobugs I thought the Bridge is where humor goes to die.
 
@Dragonrage Yes
 
@Dragonrage ,,,,xD
 
I wonder if the fact that "this pear" still hasn't died is the reason why @badp has kept me off the room owner's list?
 
@Yuuki You put far too much thought into why @badp removed certain users from room ownership
Trust me, it's not because we all hate you. Don't even think that. Don't even get that thought in your head.
 
6:54 PM
Well yeah, "this pear" was a pretty great joke.
I'm sure you're all just jealous that I made it first.
 
@badp just ran DROP FROM room_owner WHERE is_mod='0'
 
@djsmiley2k what pokemon is that?
 
@KazWolfe we named him Squirtle XD
 
@KazWolfe Tirtouga.
 
6:57 PM
@StrixVaria You rube, that's obviously Turtwig.
 
'Barry Squirtle the Turtle' :D
 
@djsmiley2k squirtle is blue
 
Tirtouga is a sea turtle.
 
@Yuuki I don't see leaves on its head.
 
@Dragonrage well this guy's had his antidepressants.
 
6:57 PM
@StrixVaria Well, it's not blue nor does it have flippers.
 
@Yuuki Probably just an Alola form.
 
I really hope Slowpoke gets an Alola Form and that's him wearing a French beret.
 
sun/moon looks amazing.
 
I hope it's him wearing a Polo shirt and aviators
So he's truly become a Slow Bro
 
@KazWolfe When it was first announced, I was surprised at how little I cared, but the more I hear about it the more I want it.
Ice/Fairy Ninetales yes please.
Can we have Alola form gen 1 starters with Fire Bulbasaur, Water Charmander, and Grass Squirtle too?
 
7:03 PM
Meh. It's hard for me to care about Pokemon stuff for very long these days
 
i want a fire breathing gyrados
 
@Kaizerwolf i want them to finally make gyrados the dragon we all know he is
 
yes that sounds just fine
 
cc @Wipqozn
 
or just imagine Gyrados screaming a Solar Beam out of its mouth
 
7:05 PM
i think gyrados can learn flamethrower
 
@Dragonrage He can
 
indeed he can, as well as electric moves
 
He has quite a lack of ability to learn Flying moves, for a Flying type, though.
 
see I would never think to teach him Fly, I'd rather it on another pokemon
just feels weird
 
Gyarados is so passe
 
7:08 PM
@Lazers2.0 downvoted due to picking the wrong team
 
@Kaizerwolf I don't like giving Fly to a real pokemon you battle with.
I did in my current game, though, because Skarmory didn't learn any other decent physical flying attacks.
 
I hate that some HMs are actually decent attacks (like Waterfall and Surf) and others just suck
Although I guess waterfall isn't an HM anymore
 
@twobugs Waterfall is a decent attack now. It used to suck.
 
Strength is OK if you put it on a Normal Pokemon.
 
@StrixVaria iirc only bounce which is gen 2 or 3 right?
 
7:09 PM
Cut and Rock Smash and Dive are all a complete waste of time, though.
Defog :|
 
flash
 
Flash isn't an HM
 
I sometimes do in older games, Ruby I just used Tropius, he can learn anything
 
@StrixVaria Eh, Rock Smash used to be good.
 
Strength is good, sometimes
 
7:10 PM
@Yuuki It's good early game, before you start learning higher base power attacks.
 
It was a good Fighting-type coverage attack.
 
Tropius is one of those great one-off Pokemon
But yeah Gen 4 had what - 12 HMs? What a mess
 
@twobugs flash was an HM gen 1
 
But now my Mightyena knows Crunch, which has 80 BP + STAB so 120 effective base power. The only time Rock Smash is better than Crunch is if the other Pokemon resists Dark and is weak to Fighting.
 
i'm going through the original Gold now on my phone
 
7:12 PM
@Dragonrage No, it wasn't
 
@twobugs Yes it was.
 
and even attacks do things now. Headbutt shakes trees? stupid
 
@twobugs HM 05
 
Oh, wait I'm thinking of something else
 
Flash is an HM in Gen 2 as well
 
7:12 PM
You're right
I dunno why I got confused
Anyway Flash is another example of an awful HM move
 
only good for one thing at one time
 
Accuracy down stuff is always dumb in Pokemon games
 
@twobugs It's not as bad anymore.
It used to be a single sand attack gave you 66% accuracy.
I don't know the formula now, but it's not that.
Anyway, train time.
 
what's annoying to me is (and maybe this is because it's original gold) but it seems like enemies weren't even thought out
 
Good, because 66% hit chance after ONE is awful
 
7:14 PM
one Juggler has 4 voltorbs, all level 10?
 
@Kaizerwolf fisherman are the best.
 
it's just kinda lazy
 
6 magikarps
 
oh god, 4 Magikarps of increasing level each time
 
iirc one had 6, but yea normally 3-4 i think

Q: Chance of Status Effects

KaizerwolfI know that a STAB bonus applies to type-based damage done by a Pokemon of the same time, ex. a Water type Pokemon deals more damage with Water type moves.

Q: Can Halo:Reach be played cross-platform locally?

I love how a 100 cp pidgey will immediately break out of a great throw and run, but a 550 cp pinsir will get caught on a regular throw first time.
