Why do you think otherwise?
 
@OrigamiRobot since I don't have any authenticator all it tells me is "get an authenticator fool"
which would be okay but doesn't tell me if, once I do, the option becomes visible there or elsewhere
 
since I do have an authenticator I cba to find it to login to bnet
 
lol @ickleislands, it must be a circular problem.
 
completely puts me off ever logging in
 
I need it to add a link to this answer

@spugsley Understatement has value, but for a logo when that may be all some people see, you usually want it to be clear and to draw attention so that people who have never seen it before will have it click right away. Style and coolness is important as that leads to propagation as people will want to see and show off a cool logo.
@spugsley I'm not saying anyone's wrong, but that both approaches have their own value and meaning
 
so... yes/no?
 
@skovacs1 Intentional misspellings are not cool and Q is the worst letter to do it with.
 
@skovacs1 @spugsley honestly, putting degrees and everything aside, I'm just concerned that the logo looks a bit too much like ARDADE when not seen in full size
(see the logo in this very page)
 
@QAdp or PROADE or any number of other dumb misspellings
 
@OrigamiRobot Dunno about P/A
 
5:05 PM
@OrigamiRobot I didn't pick the name. It's sort of the LCD pick of a lot of adequate, but often nonviable options. The logo's probably going to have to try to make it look cooler than it is.

@skovacs1 I don't feel like the name is LCD. "Game Council" would've been LCD
 
@skovacs1 And it does a bad job because of the bad name. Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that it is a spaceship.
 
I mean, it's proper english
 
@QAdp I just mentioned the degree to indicate that I do have some credentials and knowledge in the area and that maybe I can help. I wasn't trying to show anyone up. I apologize if I came off that way.
 
5:07 PM
@skovacs1 no worries, that was a dick move on my part
 
@QAdp It was highest voted on the open chat for suggestions, was it not? Probably not LCD then, but I got distracted trying to follow 5 different conversations/trains of thought and couldn't think of a better descriptor.
 
@skovacs1 Most popular != LCD
 
@QAdp Because it is right up against the blue/white line, the right leg of the A gets overlooked
 
@OrigamiRobot I see why you'd make that mistake, but at this point the logo becomes ROAD/RDAD instead of PROADE
because, I mean, black on blue isn't very readable
 
I'm still trying to come up with an awesome title for spugsley's I hate kids book
 
5:09 PM
@skovacs1 "and I hate you too"
 
@QAdp I can still see there is a letter there, its just the left leg goes away to make it look like P or F
 
well that's a subtitle more than a title
@OrigamiRobot FARDADE.
 
@QAdp It could be both
 
I am giving you the sternest look I can muster...
 
@OrigamiRobot stares back in mild confusion
 
5:13 PM
 
@OrigamiRobot That certainly makes it harder. Things with poor names can still have sweet logos. The problem is that sometimes quality takes time and it almost always takes inspiration (which is harder to control the presence of). It's pretty much a situation of "that's the way it is and now we deal with it."
 
@skovacs1 I never saw a problem with gaming.stackexchange.com other than it being cumbersome to enter
 
5:16 PM
As in that's the name and for better or for worse, we must work with it and make it awesome.
 
and the new name doesn't fix that
 
@OrigamiRobot I feel/felt the same way.
 
maybe if the URL was arcadewithaq.com
because that's how you have to say it
 
@OrigamiRobot joystiq with a q .com because that's how you have to say it?
 
The best way to fix the current logo is to move the A and E away from the blue/white division a little and color the Q and A like someone suggested in meta.
@skovacs1 shrug I have no opinions on that since I don't go there.
 
5:19 PM
@OrigamiRobot The Q really doesn't read like a q though. I definitely agree.
 
@skovacs1 Yea, but the colors did help with that a little.

Also add the old heart like Rachel suggested (but then deleted)
 
Jun 7 at 17:35, by Jin
@badp i think it breaks the symmetry
 
@QAdp That is an even worse Q
 
5:20 PM
@OrigamiRobot It's at least unmistakably a Q
(also it's the farthest you can really push powerpoint. Sue me)
 
Either way, looking at the current spaceship, I see PROADE.
 
@skovacs1 Yup
 
@skovacs1 I think your reading of PROADE is kind of 'poisoned' by what you know the logo must read
look at it - the 'O' and the 'D' are actually the same
except for the tail on the Q
 
On this subject, if anyone didn't get a Diablo 3 shirt and wants one (M), just pay for shipping and it's yours.
 
@OrigamiRobot did you get your SE package already?
 
5:28 PM
@agent86 Nah, I'm just saying.
 
@OrigamiRobot gotcha. I was hoping a shipment of diablo/arqade related goodies was imminent.
 
well it can't be that far out in the future yes?
not that I'm receiving anything
 
@QAdp I believe I would still read that as a 'D' actually even without knowing what it said. It depends on context. I was referring more to the main site logo. In chat, you might be more likely to read the 'D' in the logo as an 'O', but I wouldn't because the offset along the curve of the ship's wing is almost lost here.
 
@QAdp I never know! One contest I had to go "uh, hey, was I supposed to be getting a prize?" and then there was a frantic OMG! and an overnighted package :P
 
@QAdp The tail which is practically invisible in the current logo. The one you posted above is slightly more readable but still disappears too easily. Capital 'Q' is a difficult letter - possibly why joystiq uses lowercase and the lowercase is one of the nice things about QAzer's logo.
 
5:33 PM
oh. you know what helps your diablo 3 session not suck? un-throttling your CPU.
 
@agent86 It took forever for @IanPugsley to get his SciFi shirt.

Q: How do I turn Redstone into Redstone Dust in Minecraft?

JimDelI have 28 or so Redstones. Not Redstone dust. I mined them with an iron pick. But all the things I see say how to use the dust, not the stones alone. Thanks

Q: How to walk-jump like a pro in condition zero

tijybbaWhile playing online [I am a newbie to CS-CZ online gaming], i noticed some players walking and jumping simultaneously , without decreasing their walking speed. I am amused , is there a key combination for that , or an extra installable mod . Also , is it considerable for hacking. Thank you. ...

 
"My motives are clear only to myself."
 
@Lazers Walk jump like a baws
 
5:51 PM
I have soloed Act 2 Inferno. As a Monk.
 
@fbueckert Now you can help me.
 
It's stupid hard to kill Belial; his meteors one shot me.
 
Anyone up for some LoL?
 
I would like to point out I have soloed ALL of Act 2; the ability to start in Act 3 was not available until I finished every quest in Act 2.
 
@RonanForman potentially
it'll take quite some time to patch
 
5:58 PM
@IanPugsley It always does.
 
6:12 PM
@fbueckert without dying?
 
@RonanForman I totally forgot about this and went "oh no, that was rude of me!" only to discover I'm still not done
aaand now I am
 
@QAvenDreamer Pfft. Yeah, right.
 
@IanPugsley I'll let Spugsley know
 
@QAvenDreamer don't, she's napping :P
 
@IanPugsley is now picturing Ian trying to chat with a sleeping spugsley curled up in his arms
 
6:14 PM
@OrigamiRobot I just tried some stuff with the heart. It makes the logo too hard to read. Too much going on with the spaceship. I don't mind breaking symmetry as that can be quite effective, but in this case, it's just too busy.
 
@IanPugsley In other news, I went looking at apartments today
 
@QAvenDreamer Isn't spugsley at work?
 
@QAvenDreamer Want to join us?
 
@skovacs1 she's off work around 1pm EDT
@QAvenDreamer anything promising?
 
@IanPugsley I think so. More importantly, I found out that one of the places I looked at had already dropped ~$60 per month since I first started looking.
@RonanForman I don't think so, thanks.
 
6:16 PM
@QAvenDreamer ooo, nice - usually it's the other direction
 
@QAvenDreamer :'(
 
I will say - if you're thinking about a year-long lease, see if they'll do longer
 
@IanPugsley Yeah, and the guy I talked to today said that the prices were still dropping. So I'll find out what the price is on Monday, and then hopefully I can pounce.
 
the summertime is when people move the most, so their prices are the highest
if you can push that out to September, it'll make a big difference if/when you wanna move again
 
Yeah, that's the one thing I don't know yet; when the earliest move-in is.
 
6:20 PM
Okay, I'm going to start advertising game on! on youtube starting next week.
 
yoooooooooo
welcome to the club of "hired" moderators from hell @QAvenDreamer
 
Nope. Been there before.

9:12 PM
@fredley very nice
 
9:24 PM
btw
there's nothing worse than having a flag system and nobody to handle flags
 
@ickleislands weird thing is I wasn't even really trying. I got lucky with the hell gates, though, which probably helped.
@QAdp well, except for moderators. those guys are terrible tyrants.
 
there's been this stupid, heated, racist, sexist, idiotic, endless argument on the internet
followed by 10 minutes and counting of people spamming "u mad dude"
 
"u mad bro?" < probably my least favourite saying ever
 
@ickleislands almost as bad as "umadbro?" When they can't even take the time to hit the space bar, it becomes that much less good
 
@skovacs1 indeed
 
9:28 PM
@skovacs1 The fact that this could be considered even slightly good is moronic.
 
@ickleislands umadbro?
 
@Wipqozn your gender specific attempt to provoke me hit for 0 [1337 absorbed]
 
@fbueckert I just say that it is less good without providing a specific quality level descriptor as to how good or not good that actually brings it to. Take from that what you will.
 
im bored and don't know which game to play
 
@ickleislands Play them all at once! Wait, bad idea.
 
9:38 PM
my pc could probably run them all at once
 
@ickleislands Showoff.
 
:D
2x WoW, Mass Effect 1-3, Civ 5, Diablo 3, Deus Ex Human Revolution
got enough RAM to support them all open at once easy
 
no, one of the 2x WoW is on US realms and is played supercasually ;p

Q: Do all dungeons have multiple levels?

C-dizzleWhen you're entering a dungenon and it shows "Random dungeon name First Level", does that mean there is a second and/or third level as well? I'm pretty sure I go through the entire dungeon but don't see a second level on a lot of them.

Q: Who killed Iron Wolf Bowden?

BeofettIn Act 2, in the North East corner, I keep finding the corpse of Iron Wolf Bowden. I'm not certain, but I think he may have been there every single time, and I know that when I do find him, he's always in the same spot. Is there something special about this corpse? Who is (or rather, was) Bowd...

Q: Rare/Promotional Skins

Q: Is it possible to earn individual medals of the same type multiple times in mass effect 3 multiplayer?

RobVIn the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer you can earn individual medals for things like number of kills. These medals are divided into bronze, silver and gold levels - in the case of kills these correspond to 25, 50 and 75 kills. My question is whether it is possible to earn multiple medals of the same...

Q: Is it possible to buy all plan parts from Merchant's House?

volkerjaanI've read that the plans of wonders such as Ruins can be all bought from Merchant's House. However, the last times I visit it, if there is any plan part available, it's the Ruins part 5. So, did someone get all the needed parts from Merchant's House? Are the parts displayed there really random, ...

 
10:25 PM
Alright, so I really was just kidding when I said I was going to write a children's book and title it "You Aren't Special: Guess How Many Fucks I Give" but I can't stop thinking about it. I want it to be a real thing
so, preliminary questions:
@agent86 @Sterno you guys are both parents. Would you read a joking, angsty book about how children aren't special for your own shits and giggles?
@RonanForman do you think you could draw me giving less of a fuck in varying degrees? (like from 10 down to 0 fucks?)
 
It'd be like a barometer for your fuckitude?
 
@TimStone exactly!
 
@spugsley I'd buy torrent it.
 
@Wipqozn I'm okay with this
 
@spugsley If it was good.
If you're asking if being a parent automatically makes you get offended by otherwise funny things, I think the answer is no
 
10:33 PM
@Sterno well, that's part of it
 
@spugsley Case in point, Go the f*ck to sleep sold amazingly well
 
@Sterno I know! That's my inspiration!

I'm too tired to even log on to Diablo 3. Evil is winning.
I wanted to beat Inferno before they made it all easy and lame, but it looks like that won't be happening
 
@Sterno I thought Inferno was meant to be more difficult than a bag full of difficult?
 
10:40 PM
That WOW question is in regards to a private server it seems
@Wipqozn inferno isn't hard, difficulty isn't attained by making everything one shot you
 
@ickleislands I haven't played it. I just mean the whole point of it is to be mind numbingly difficult.
 
@Wipqozn yeah, it's not though, it's mind numbingly annoying and unfulfilling
 
@ickleislands ah, I see
 
@ickleislands I completely disagree.
I really enjoy the difficulty and progression of Inferno
 
@Sterno the point is, there is no "difficulty" in changing everything to one shot you
 
10:44 PM
@ickleislands Nothing one-shots me.
 
difficulty is provided by diverse mechanics
@Sterno gz on playing a melee class then :P
 
My wife plays a mage. She rarely gets one-shotted either
 
in what act?
 
3
 
kite-o-rama then
 
10:45 PM
Yeah. My bad. The hardest difficulty level should just involve you standing there and blasting everything.
:)
Just like the previous 3
 
nah, the hardest difficulty should be challenging in a way that doesn't involve multiplying numbers exponentially
 
Like, your monitor shoots electricity at you that you have to dodge in real life while playing?
 
i've already cleared the game, and after doing so I have no will to continue playing the game
due to it lacking anything compelling in the end game
= fundamental failure in design
 
It's probably lack of sleep, but I am completely incapable of continuing this conversation with you in a civil way. I'll just say that I'm having fun. :)
 
i had fun, i'm just disappointed in the ways mentioned above
but like, I only need to get barb + monk to 60 to have all five, and there isn't any reason that I see to do so
 
10:49 PM
There has never been an ARPG, Diablo 2 included, that I felt like I could just sort of play forever.
At over 120 hours right now, I probably played this longer than most.
 
I can't pinpoint what it was about Diablo 2 that made it compelling
 
Right now I just enjoy watching YouTube videos of people losing their HC characters
 
ye I'm giving it another month or so before I take hardcore serious, my one and only hardcore char died of a lagspike
 
The main thing D2 had going for it, IMO, was better loot
and I'm not entirely sure how to describe what I mean by that
 
i kinda know what you mean
i think its the effect that the auction house has on a game of this type
 
10:51 PM
Probably
 
condor actually tested their games too
another thing in diablo 2's favour
 
is now dead.

for a private server

tis the cataclysm pre-patch

@ickleislands How do you know it is for a private server?
 
asin "SET realmList "logon.ivalice-serveur.com""
from the Q
 
Aren't private servers against the ToS or something like that?
 
against Blizzard's terms of service yes
 
user2334
@ickleislands Oh… oops. Already did
 
user2334
Didn't realize he was trying to play on a private server
 
+1 to that answer
 
10:58 PM
@MarkTrapp: Chances are that won't work anyways. The server probably run s a very old build of it, or that was the only one he could find.
Either way, we should delete the question. Private Servers are against Blizards TOS.
 
user2334
@Wipqozn Right, but I like to play extremely dumb until they come right out and say "I'm trying to do something that's not supported at all by the game and refuse to accept that 'use at your own risk' is a thing"
 
user2334
Either way, definitely too localized
 
88 mil
based on the fact they were profiting
well this private server profits as well, they've even got a store

Clever girl.

11:05 PM
this is actually the funniest thing. reduced me to tears laughing.
 
@QAna Have you actually played DayZ yet, or just watch videos of it?
 
@Wipqozn just watch vids
 
@QAna nifty. You should considering buying it.
well, Arma 2.
You know what I mean.
 
@Wipqozn I am
How are the servers doing?
 
I really need to start playing it again. I know they've fixed a lot fo the servers issues, which is why I stopped playing for awhile.
I think the servers can now support up to 1 million people
 
user2334

@Wipqozn teehee
 
Oh, right. Here's your up vote!
Here's hoping for a reversal badge.

Oh, right! They finally removed that stupid ass bandit feature.
So I can actually kill people without being turn into a giant target.

@MarkTrapp lol

Unlocked the final 14 slots in my stash… I am the 1%
 
@MarkTrapp first thing I did too
allowed me to dedicate a full tab to gems
 
user2334
I've been loathe to sell rares to the vendor, so my stash keeps getting clogged
 
I salvage all of that
 
11:31 PM
@fredley ...Why did you try to incorporate the scan lines? I think it would look better if you'd just used blue.
 
user2334
@ickleislands I did that for a while too, but since you don't get skill for crafting, AH items are way better than crafted, and items are worth more to the vendor than the salvaged scraps they produce, I just vendor if I can't AH them.
 
true but the salvaged scraps are worth more on AH than the rares are to the vendor
 
@spugsley go the f--k to sleep is a big seller over on amazon.
 
user2334
@ickleislands Ah, didn't think of that. Your ideas are intriguing and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter
 
apparently they're profitable.
that's a larger onebox than I was expecting :/
 
11:37 PM
@MarkTrapp if I wrote a newsletter I wouldn't have time to mess around with this stuff :p
 
I think the audiobook is read by samuel l. jackson, which I find hilarious
 
@agent86 It is. You can find it on YouTube.
 
"This audiobook is in English, motherf*cker, do you speak it?"
 
@YiJiang oh, man, I had not considered the copyright infringing properties of youtube in this case. I will have to check that out
 
11:40 PM
My internet is the fucking worst.
I can't open Steam.
I can't download one song.
I can't check my goddamn fucking email.
Fuck.
 
How are you still chatting?
 
@Sterno crap, I didn't read down any further and I missed that sterno posted this already :/
 
Boo
I'm a scary ghost
 
user2334
Man, how Blizzard handled the required companion quests is really clumsy. In normal, they just mysteriously disappear from your party, but in nightmare, they create a clone and the original acts like what's happening to the clone did not just happen to them
 
quite a lot of what blizzard does is clumsy

yeah, nickt cataloged the 2-follower-weirdness for me at one point:
9
A: What happens if a follower meets themselves?

NiQAlas TAs mentioned, they follow you for a time as they did the first time, and only after where it would have asked "Do you want X to join your party" the second disappears. The brief bits of bonus dialogue are as follows: Double Templar After releasing and talking with the "Warrior" Templar: Wh...

one of my characters is missing his scoundrel. I don't care for the scoundrel though, so big deal
 
user2334
11:48 PM
And now the second templar disappeared again! ffff
 
user2334
@agent86 How do you lose the scoundrel? Isn't his quest required?
 
His quest is required
But the quest system does nothing to stop you from skipping the quest
like if you joined a friend's game and simply skipped that stage of the quest
 
user2334
Ah
 
@agent86 if I went back in time and met myself the only result would be world domination
 
@MarkTrapp I think it's what @ickleislands said, I'm on Hell with that character now, so apparently I've managed to skip that quest on at least 2 occasions? I guess?
 
11:54 PM
@ickleislands curses! I immediately started singing "If I could turn back timmmeeee"
 
I think he shows up in my camp as long as I'm past that part in the story, but not before.
 
on one of my characters I've skipped most of one of the difficulties
 
@ickleislands see, I think it would take at least 3 of me for world domination, so you've got me beat there :P
 
I also don't know if you can 'collect' the followers in later difficulties
@agent86 two of me means I could play games and make music at the same time
