That's good news.
 
@AshleyNunn Yeah. Strange, though. Usually, I don't care what they have me working on. It's a job.
But this is one project I've ran with from the beginning.
And I've got a vision of how I want it to go. It's going to be awesome.
So when I hear, "Oh, we're going to be giving this project to someone else, so you can focus on this other project", I get annoyed.
 
user15026
Yeah, when you have a clear idea of how you want things to go it can be frustrating to have it taken away from you.
 
user15026
I am glad that didn't happen.
 
Which, when I thought I was getting help with Sharepoint stuff, meant I'd be passing on the other project, the one that got stalled.
 
8:07 PM
The project manager that's managing the one I didn't really care about, though, was just, "Oh, well, let's train another programmer, and then he can pass off the other project so he can focus on mine!"
 
Well, I guess I don't get to play Cities in Motion tonight
Runs too slow on this PC
 
@pixel Did you lower the resolution and the graphics settings?
 
@GnomeSlice no I stuck everything on ULTRA and then complained it was slow...
but yeah, absolutely everything off, lowest resolution, get 5 fps
will run fine on my actual PC rather than this laptop
home tomorrow and all that
meh I am going to have an early night

Q: What could cause a Gemcrafter to stay inside his workshop for a long time and eventually die, while still being "undiscovered"?

user37332My gemcrafter locked himself inside of his workshop for a suspiciously long time. Eventually, he became "missing" and his yet-to-be-discovered corpse was releasing clouds of miasma. There are plenty of factors that could have caused this, but i will trt to add the ones i think have caused this:...

Q: Does Pure of Voice occur before or after Save Yourselves?

BrysonicThe Guardian skill Save Yourselves is a shout which (among other things) transfers conditions from allies onto yourself. The Guardian trait Pure of Voice causes all allies who are affected by a shout to convert a condition into a boon. Let's say a Guardian is surrounded by five allies, each wi...

Q: Borderlands 2, PC, Windows XP SP3 fully updated drivers...item icons in the inventory menus are switched around

ChestRockwellThe game runs without any problems other than all of the item menus (backpack, ammo/gun purchase, sell) all have their item icons mixed around so nothing I see is correct). For instance, it shows a blank item for my primary weapon and a random image of a pistol for my secondary, when in fact I h...

jesus Symphony gets already really hard at Mezzo difficulty
STOP CRASHING INTO ME THINGS
 
I don't understand the linked portal room concept
 
@Retrosaur Apparently, while most rooms are actually part of a single complex, in some places they are not, and the door between the rooms is sort of like a portal, to make it appear that the rooms are connected
That's how I understand it, anyways
 
10:25 PM
I discovered the most brilliant way to troll people on Reddit today.
 
THanks SaintWacko
 
@Retrosaur Two rooms that appear to be adjacent in-game actually are not in the map data file.
 
I understand a bit now.
 
I guess the main reason for this is that adjacency is physically impossible
hence "impossible room"
 
@badp It isn't.
 
10:26 PM
@ArdaXi hence "I guess"
Maybe it was hard? I dunno why they removed all such "portals" except that one
 
@EricGagnon It's because of the lighting. If the entire room itself moved, they'd have to have used dynamic lights which are calculated on the fly, rather than before hand, which makes them much slower. — Arda Xi Aug 22 '11 at 19:07
Basically, rendering a moving room is a gigantic burden. So they just move the portal, rather than the room.
 
user15026
So the Adventure Time game is a lot like Zelda II. Not sure how I feel about it.
 
Fuck fuck fuck fuck
"installing update 64 of 148"
stuck
damn this bloody machine to hell
 
Sony's stock has been downgraded to a junk stock on the Japanese market
2
 
Fml
 
10:39 PM
or rather, by one of the agencies that rates stocks there.
There is at least one more (who recently downgraded it to one step above junk)
12 hours into Zero Escape and I still haven't gotten a single ? off my save file. :|
Gotten at least 4 game overs and found 4+ locks.
 
@Powerlord Rating agencies are filthy shady corporations that thrive off other companies' difficulties. Also where the fuck is the Playstation 4?
 
@badp Likely still a year or two out.
 
Hopefully that's not too late.
 
Sadly, Sony wanted the PS3 to last for 10 years. They're not going to get that wish.
 
zynga is now junk stock ;9
 
10:46 PM
It's a mad man's wish really
 
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
 
Who here uses the same computers they bought in 2003? No upgrades
 
i do
athlon
integrated
 
You didn't buy any upgrades for your computer in the last 10 years?
 
Is moonbase alpha free
 
10:47 PM
@Retrosaur I think he meant as your primary computer as opposed to a server sitting in a corner.
 
no, it's my home cvomp
dell, wiped hd awhil ago
sry typing with one hand is hard
 
and you play Minecraft on a 10 year old computer?
 
Blu-Ray in a game console was truly revolutionary in a game console in 2005, but probably a bit too early. The Cell processor was... truly a mistake in a console in 2005.
 
That's like 512 MB RAM
 
uh...
i but a luptup
a year ago
 
10:49 PM
@Retrosaur I rest my case.
 
hp, sitty as shit do not invest'
 
meh, is there one laptop out there that doesn't suck?
 
Who here uses the same computers they bought in 2003? No upgrades
i still use dat thing tho
 
@Retrosaur for your gaming?
Sorry it was kind of implied. In my head.
 
Wee! My oven was on fire!
 
10:52 PM
You play Borderlands 2 on a ten year old rig? Okay, my three (?) years old laptop sucks but...
 
@fbueckert I hope you put it out.
 
@Powerlord Hence the word, "was".
 
@fbueckert It could also have meant that your oven was and is no more.
If you stretch it a little.
btw by a stretch of my self-respecting late owl night calling guidelines I'll call this a night
nite
 
Saying it was on fire could mean you had to call the fire department to put it out.
 
user15026
@fbueckert I am glad it is no longer on fire.
 
10:56 PM
@AshleyNunn A little water goes a long way.
 
I'd be hesitant before using water in an oven
what with exposed heating resistors and whatnot
 
@badp Honestly, the oven's pretty darn old; it might be time to replace the thing.
I might have broken the oven elements, but, really, the concern was to extinguish the fire.
 
user15026
@fbueckert its one of those times where getting the fire out is the biggest concern, Yeah?
 
11:13 PM
@AshleyNunn Indeed.
Pretty sure it would've burnt itself out in time, but it was getting bigger and bigger.
But I didn't want to risk it; if it went up, I don't have a fire extinguisher in the house, so putting it out if it took out the oven would've been...problematic.
 
user15026
Yeah that's one of those times you just get it out and worry about the stove later for sure.
 
Nonsense, you're supposed to take video, upload it, and share a link on Twitter before you do anything else.
But on a more serious note it is good that you were able to get it under control before real damage was done.
 
11:30 PM
Holy crap Prototype 2 is on sale for $19.99. I got it and Prototype for $10. Thanks @agent numbers!
 
FAE
@fbueckert I don't have a fire extinguisher in the house <-you should probably remedy this

Q: Lock picking technique

DavidYellSo I've tried this twice now and it's taken me about 5 minutes each time and it feels way too random. The instructions say "Move the mouse left and right" so am I supposed to wiggle it? .. and the same with the "Up and down". Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but could someone explain how...

Q: Is there a benefit to "pulsing" the Mantis machine gun?

EBongoWhen playing with the Mantis (as I am lent to doing extensively on the "Two Giants" Spartan Ops in Episode 3) I find that the machine gun overheats constantly. In past games, I found out after quite some time that there was a benefit in accuracy to "pulsing" the certain full auto weapons - parti...

 
11:57 PM
No
Someone delete that immediately
Oh, good, that was fast.
Fuck, what a stupid fucking 'answer'.
