Q: Why can't I talk to Baldor Iron-Shaper?

I have defeated the Thalmor on the ship and gotten the map for the quest "A New Source of Stahlrim," but when I try to take the map back to Baldor, it won't let me talk to him. Instead, he just does the normal NPC dialogue thing, where he says random things and doesn't let you actually tell him ...

6:47 PM

> A suspect was shot dead by police after he allegedly plowed into pedestrians with a car and then stabbed multiple people with a butcher's knife at the Ohio State University campus in Columbus, Ohio, this morning, the university said. The scene is now secure, officials say.

So was the shooting at OSU not a shooting, then?

> The dead attacker was believed to be an Ohio State student — a Somali refugee who lived near campus, NBC News reported. It said he was a legal permanent resident of the U.S.

Nzall

@Sterno no, just a good guy with a gun, like all the gun control opponents said is the only thing that helps

Sterno

Well, being any kind of "refugee" means this won't possibly quickly turn ugly on social media. CAN'T WAIT

Nzall

Difference is that the good guy is paid to be a good guy

Sterno

Well, I don't think we typically count "cops shot the bad guy" as a shooting, in the sense of it turning the whole thing into a shooting incident

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk I'll watch this when I get home, thanks

@arda I don't get it

@Sterno Car Stabbing instead I guess

@Sterno Oh golly gee I can't wait to hate everyone again

Sterno

6:57 PM

I'd blame the media for jumping to the conclusion it was a shooter except the alert tweet from OSU did say "active shooter"

Which is probably a lot easier to tweet than "crazy fucker running into people with a car and then hopping out and stabbing them and who knows maybe has a gun too who can tell with crazy fucks"

Ellesedil

@Sterno When things are happening real time like that, the university's priority is to make people aware of the situation over detailed accuracy.

Sterno

That's kind of what I was saying

Ellesedil

Yeah... I had started typing before and was mostly finished by the time your second comment hit.

Sterno

Though there is an entry for it in the "list of school shootings in the US" wikipedia page

if segregating by sex is weird, what about the disabilities?

badp

@djsmiley2k disabilities are already their own event

djsmiley2k

7:21 PM

@badp yus

Wipqozn

Also in all seriousness @Sterno, it's because most of the decisions are made by old people that think the internet is "just a fad"

Nzall

So, since the last day of the current steam sales has arrived, do you guys have any suggestions for discounted games to buy?

badp

@Nzall all of them, so you never have to wonder what game you should buy next any longer

Sterno

Bad Rats

Nzall

@badp that's a bit pricy

Wipqozn

7:22 PM

@Sterno At my company, there were decisions made BACK IN THE DAY where they intentionally made the site worse since they were concerned if the site was too good, it would hurt newspaper sales. I'm 100% serious.

djsmiley2k

but by the same logic separating people by sex is weird, separating them by ability is weird too, as after all, the sex seperation is due to an lack of ability on the female part (not as strong etc)

Nzall

@Sterno I'm not buying a game hat can't even get their physics consistent

murgatroid99

@djsmiley2k The differences in ability caused by major disabilities are a lot greater than the differences in abilities due to sex. So separation by disabilities makes more sense

Sterno

@djsmiley2k So basically I need to be in the competition specifically for pudgy, out of shape old white guys

7:41 PM

Essentially, I'm looking for a game where I control my character and the camera directly using WSAD/mouse and a deep character power customization section

Unionhawk

But they're all RPGs so /shrug

RPG categorization is weird

Because like yes Dark Souls and Diablo are action-packed RPGs, but it's clear there's something particular about Diablo that's slightly different. Maybe that's literally just it's top down versus third person, idk

GoldenEye 007 (1997 video game)

GoldenEye 007 is a first-person shooter video game developed by Rare and based on the 1995 James Bond film GoldenEye. It was exclusively released for the Nintendo 64 video game console in August 1997. The game features a single-player campaign in which players assume the role of British Secret Intelligence Service agent James Bond as he fights to prevent a criminal syndicate from using a satellite weapon against London to cause a global financial meltdown. The game also includes a split-screen multiplayer mode in which two, three, or four players can compete in different types of deathmatch games...

Nzall

Don't like it though that I'll have to essentially revisit every vendor to check for quest items

Yuuki

@Nzall I've heard Titanfall 2's campaign is, on one hand, good and, on the other, incredibly by-the-books predictably boring.

I have over 60 million skill points, though, so I wasn't able to fly the ship I was in when I last logged off.

Nzall

@GnomeSlice Does Proteus have a narrative?

Mad Scientist

I read that you can fly the smaller ships of your race, with the major limit being no T2 weapons and no cynos or cloaks

Ellesedil

8:19 PM

@MadScientist Pretty much.

No T2 ships either.

badp

@Sterno don't let anyone get you a standing desk

Mad Scientist

I think I had 90 million skill points when I stopped playing

Nzall

yeah, but many of the major battles from what I heard are held between massive fleets of those ships with some bigger ships in the mix

badp

@MadScientist was it enough to finally become pro much

Well, that match was predictably over in about 90 seconds, but I ended it with 5 gold, so I guess I'm a winner!

badp

@Ellesedil oh wow, even EvE fell down to F2P?

8:23 PM

If you use something like django you should have a web UI on your data relatively easily

GodEmperorDune

like to get to endgame you have to do 0 sec space and if you aren't absolutely on top of your game you get rekt

badp

the real problem is that making ad hoc data analysis gets more annoying

Banh Mi Dac Biet

@badp I have no control over how data is stored and am only able to use VBA... Old equipment, regulations and company policies basically prevent us from using anything else.

Mad Scientist

A free tier seems pretty reasonable for EVE, more victims for everyone ;-)

badp

ah

8:25 PM

@GodEmperorDune I never went to 0.0, FW was pretty fun at times though. I don't think EVE really has an endgame, there are many different paths

Sterno

Well, another match over in about 90 seconds. This is feeling good.

Ellesedil

I haven't done 0.0 either. I don't have the time or resources to dedicate to living out there.

badp

@Sterno you must be holding it wrong

GodEmperorDune

the amount you can make in there was ridiculous

The most annoying thing in EVE was moving. I mostly just left my stuff all around because I couldn't be bothered to move everything

8:28 PM

It's pretty unfortunate but whatever keeps the power on. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

GodEmperorDune

not sure how much it's changed sincethen

Ellesedil

There's still plenty of ISK to be made in lowsec and 0.0.

Wormholes are a thing now, too.

Mad Scientist

There was a short time where you could make like 4-5k ISK per LP in faction warfare. That was extremely lucrative

Frank

Wee! Train wreck of migration process in progress!

Mad Scientist

And before that, I flew FW missions. If it worked well, this was easily more than 100 million ISK per hour. Didn't always work that well, but often enough

Ellesedil

8:32 PM

I need to find a decent revenue stream. I've been thinking about getting into scanning and hacking sites.

Frank

If I were to say a data migration, from Access to SQL server, was to take 24 hours, how much data, roughly, would you expect there to be?

Mad Scientist

I tried exploration in high and low sec, but while I earned a few hundred millions, it was very inconsistent and really didn't work most of the time

Ellesedil

I have some R&D agents with a bunch of data cores waiting for me... but I can't talk to them because the alpha clone restrictions turned off some of my connection skills, so I don't have enough rep with them anymore.

Mad Scientist

I've no idea how it is now, but FW plexes were most of the time at least a reasonable source of income and required very few skills

Ellesedil

@Frank If it was all automated, I don't see why you couldn't transfer the full 2GB Access allows over to SQL Server.

I guess it would depend on how much transforming you'd have to do.

Frank

8:37 PM

@Ellesedil That is my thought. Since when does it take a solid day to transfer 2 gigs?

Transformation is virtually nil; the SQL server end was built with this schema as the base.

Ellesedil

...

Is VBA code in Access running the migration?
