1:00 PM
@Arperum I will not allow this one. See the top voted Lifehacks question for solutions
cc @fredley
 
@Unionhawk Cat is not on desk. cat is on lap. half draped over one arm.
(not right now, but that frequently happens)
 
The whole morning commute this morning it felt like today should be Friday. I knew it was Wednesday, but this week has already lasted long enough.
 
It needs to be Friday
Why is it not Friday
I'm holding @Sterno personally responsible for it not being the weekend yet
 
Arqade mod discovers weird trick to make it become Friday whenever he wants
 
See How .... !!
 
1:06 PM
@twobugs Would it were true.
 
if (job[quit] == 1){
$day = 'friday';
}
 
That's still not how days work
 
If you don't have a job each day is effectively Saturday, which is even better.
Saturday is the best day, because you don't have to do anything today, and you also don't have to do anything tomorrow.
 
@Unionhawk @Wipqozn is to blame
 
@Unionhawk People who trust Lifehacks as gospel and so have probably lost a hand to a lifehack at some point?
 
1:08 PM
@StrixVaria That was only true before children.
 
@Sterno I don't have to leave home or anything for her sake yet; she's not old enough to have activities planned.
Although staying home with her is becoming an increasing hassle.
 
@StrixVaria I have a wife who often works weekends, so the "thing to do" is "babysit the kids"
Don't worry. Somewhere between 18 months and 2 years old she'll become super fun to play with
It's 12-18 months that sucks.
 
Right now she pretty much spends all her time trying to ruin everything she can find.
 
The only activity they want at that age is attempting suicide
What? I can't climb from that patio chair to the glass table? WAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!
You won't let me detach the cat's tail? WAAAAAAAHHHHH!
 
Such crybabies.
She loves pulling on my dog's ears.
 
1:12 PM
Dogs are usually surprisingly okay with babies doing things like that
 
@KevinvanderVelden He endures it, but he looks at us like "pls halp"
 
@Sterno That one is one the cat can help a lot in teaching to not do that. My little brother got multiple scratches in his face, but he has learned his lesson.
 
I've heard that when I was that age our dog would let me and my sister do damn near anything and she'd tolerate it, but she'd be pissed if an adult just stepped over her because she was in the way
 
@KevinvanderVelden It depends on the dog though. Some dogs won't care, others will bite when they are done with it.
 
@Arperum yes, hence the usually =p

Q: Does playing non-shareable games prevent sharing?

CamelCaseAccording to the Steam Family Sharing FAQ: Can all Steam games be shared with friends and family? No, due to technical limitations, some Steam games may be unavailable for sharing. For example, titles that require an additional third-party key, account, or subscription in order to play...

 
@Arperum I got rid of a cat for scratching my kid's face. Not really the cat's fault, but face scratching is not good
To be fair, that cat was kind of a dick.
3
 
our cat gives lots of warning now
if my daughter continues ot ignore that fact, it's her own fault
 
@djsmiley2k My daughter is not old enough for that logic yet.
 
@Sterno My parents oldest cat gave more than enough warnings, tends to run away too, but enough is enough. ANd if you have told the kid 1000 times to leave her alone, and he continues, he has himself to blame.
 
obviously we don't leave her just with the cat
we are always there too
@StrixVaria ah
 
1:18 PM
@Arperum It doesn't matter how many words you use with kids who have just learned to walk, because they don't know words.
 
Yea, my little (foster)brother was 2 when he came to us.
@StrixVaria True.
 
My daugher knows no
but she also uses no as every other word too
yes, why etc == no
 
My daughter is beginning to know "no".
 
It's a fun time D:
 
My friend's daughter used to say "nah" for yes, and "no" for no. It was confusing.
 
1:19 PM
"Mister No" is someone who stays for quite some time :p
 
she also still gets nodding and shaking of the head confused.
 
@djsmiley2k She would fit right into some cultures. (there are cultures where it is inverse to the western system)
 
Why are Joltiks so adorable?
 
My favorite conversations
Me: Skydrift, do you want a cookie?
Skydrift: No.
Me: *puts cookies away*
Skydrift: I WANTED A COOKIE!
 
1:22 PM
@Arperum but then she'll proceed to copy what ever we do
then just say no
 
@Sterno "Then don't say no"
 
@Sterno I forgot you refer to them as Skydrift for a second and was very confused.
 
@Arperum I say that about 5 times a day
 
@Sterno At some point they'll get it.
 
Nope
 
1:27 PM
Galactic Hitman looks super awesome
 
@Unionhawk pls
 
@Sterno cc @Wipqozn
You should give it a playthrough.
 
Good idea.
I'll add it to my wishlist so I can see when it's on sale and buy 10 gift copies
 
I've found a way to defeat @Sterno. Simply don't add him to steam.
 
You can also decline gifts.
 
1:34 PM
Who'd look a gift hitman in the mouth, though? Let alone a Galactic one?
 
I'd play a gift copy of Galactic Hitman. Would you not?
 
Probably
 
Hmm, it's 3:30, I get to go home in an hour :D
 
TARGET DOWN
 
I see how it is, @Aequitas, I ninja your answer so you edit one of mine :P
 
1:39 PM
> Mr. Sterling did not like the game, and recorded a fairly brutal video review. Digital Homicide Studios reacted by leaping headlong into a shame spiral, first releasing its own angry video review of Sterling's video review, which consisted of Sterling's video review with mean captions. Sterling reviewed that.
> Then, because we live in an era where everything has to be shoved up its own ass, Digital Homicide issued a unsettling ranty review of the review of the review, posting angry text over audio of Sterling's latest.
Oh, Internet
 
HAha
Ugh
I have a strong suspicion that when the K70 RGB gets here, I'm going to have to choose it over the G910, but I love the keys on the G910
 
@Sterno See, this just makes it sound scripted to me
 
@Sterno Do you have a link for that?
 
@Sterno I would watch these in order.
 
@Sterno I like how the reflections work in that game
 
1:42 PM
Or maybe I'd just watch Jim Sterling's contributions to the chain.
 
Also, I'm looking forward to the Droid Turbo 2 being released, but I suspect it's going to be too big for me
 
They filed a DMCA claim against his review
 
I'm tempted to just get a Droid Turbo, but I still feel the need to wait to see what the Droid Turbo 2 is like
 
(note this is about a different one of their shitty games, not about Galactic Hitman)
 
1:43 PM
@Sterno Wow
 
@Sterno oh that is gonna be hilarious
I wanna see jim sterling review the new game now
 
@Sterno tl;dr People need to stop having such thin skins.
 
Haha, I forgot about this picture
 
Cats are jerks
 
1:51 PM
 
Haha, yep
I got LadyWacko the computer chair version of it for Christmas last year
 
@Yuuki tl;dr these people need to learn what fair use means
 
@Unionhawk only with the DMCA claim
 
Tbh that's the only portion of this thing that matters
I don't give a shit if these guys don't feel that the review is fair criticism, and neither does the DMCA.

Q: Can my PC run GTA V?

mlclmI would like to know if I will be able to play GTA V on my pc. I've tryed to run the checkup program from System Requirements Lab ( Can you run it ) but it doesn't work for some reason. So here are my PC specs, I just found that in "my computer": Windows 7 , Service pack 1, interl core i5 750 @ ...

 
2:01 PM
So I haven't watched or read any of the videos, but one of the things about putting a creative work out there is you leave it open for people to say "hey this thing is bad"
 
Especially if it's a medium like games where there are lots of objective things you can say about quality
(Like, compatibility, stability, crashes, etc)
 
@twobugs their argument is fair use requires "fair criticism" which it does not
 
@Unionhawk wat
 
Yes
 
"You can't use my thing unless you're nice to me"?
 
2:04 PM
The core of it being that you need to experience the whole thing in order to be allowed to call it a total failure
Which is also not the case because if a game bores me quickly I'd call it a failure
 
@twobugs They say: you can't say it's bad because you didn't look at all of it.
 
> Did you even find the help menu? This just goes to show why you're a bad person, man.
 
@StrixVaria I'm not even going to bother Googling it. I'll just assume it's on the same levl as Bad rats?
 
@Wipqozn Lower level
 
I think if you want to give a professional review you should try to experience as much as possible, but there are so many times where that isn't reasonable.
 
2:05 PM
@Wipqozn based on steam reviews probably
 
@StrixVaria Yes, yes there are.
 
@Sterno oh jesus
 
@twobugs But it's not a review. It's a first impression.
 
@Arperum I'm just speaking in general, not about this specific circumstance which I have no knowledge of
 
@Arperum we're talking about jim sterling, not total biscuit =p
 
2:06 PM
@KevinvanderVelden I just watched his review of the review and review of the review of the review videos.
 
@KevinvanderVelden He jumped into the game without any prior knowledge. And has been doing so for a year (according to him in the videos)
 
Highlights:
Enemies stand still and fire.
All 6 maps are pretty much the same corridor with enemies in the same positions.
THere are two weapons with pretty much unlimited ammo.
If you die, you just restart at the beginning (which is like 20 seconds down the hall) and all killed enemies stay dead, so you just walk back up and keep firing.
Crouching is God Mode
 
So don't play it
 
@GnomeSlice ...
 
2:08 PM
@GnomeSlice Thanks for that insight, @GnomeSlice!
 
@GnomeSlice Or gift it to The Bridge for fun
 
@GnomeSlice It's fun to make fun of things that are terrible.
 
Which is what @Sterno is going to choose
 
@GnomeSlice I Have No Option And I Must Game
 
It's also helpful to point out flaws in games, it is helpful to say "don't play this, this is terrible" that is what reviews exist for
 
2:09 PM
I know that
 
@twobugs So, what are you playing? I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream?
 
"So don't play it" is not a good answer to "$game is terrible"
 
@KevinvanderVelden Yes it is.
 
@Powerlord Galactic Hitman! So basically, AM has won.
 
@Powerlord isn't that a short story?
And a pretty fuct one at that
 
2:10 PM
Yeah, that's what I was referencing :|
thatsthejoke.bmp
 
There's a game based on it I think
 
Microsoft wants US government to obey EU privacy laws made me lol. The people who released Windows 10 should not be commenting on adopting privacy laws.
 
Naah, they totally should, they should also be called out on their hypocrisy
 
@Sterno What in the fuck
This is hilarious
 
2:15 PM
@Unionhawk I'll make sure you get a copy next time it is on sale!
 
No
I'm good
 
@Sterno Give me Space Beast Terror Fright instead
 
Oh is that finally today
 
Is this the only one or are there others?
 
Hah, apparently Cameron tried to make a Back to the Future "joke" and failed miserably.
 
Probably because in 1985 he was busy doing other things.
 
> Sorry temporarily out of stock due to lack of human inventiveness.
 
2:29 PM

> ​GET EXCITED, AND REMEMBER: WHERE WE'RE GOING, WE DON'T NEED ROADS.
(Just kidding. We definitely do. And by the way, Congress should fund them.)
 
2:46 PM
@PrivatePansy Starred to annoy people who dislike ponies
 
@fredley There's a @Wipqozn-level pun in the title too
 
It is an excellent pun
 
@fredley why do you guys keep starring these weirdly sexual images?
2
 
@GodEmperorDune In... what way is it sexual?
 
@fredley I mean, if you have a thing for ponies...
 
2:50 PM
:l
 
Oct 7 at 23:56, by GodEmperorDune
@PrivatePansy those grills are weirdly sexual
 
i'm too lazy to look up the refrance
 
Don't just France, reFrance
 
its earlier than that @PrivatePansy
 
@fredley For when just one Francing isn't enough.
 
2:51 PM
France II: the reFrancening

Q: Why isn't Tyrant Unleashed loading?

Chris MenardI am up to date with my iOS system (iPad 2) and i am unable to play tyrant unleashed. I am loosing progress and i don't have a pc to play it on. Why isnt it loading on ios 9.2?

 
@Lazers2.0 cc @Sterno
 
@fredley There's no good hi-hat.
 
Seriously , what the hell... My system is not "specific" to my pc only you idiot. There's at least hundreds or thousands of people with the exact same specs. I'm not the only one on earth with such specs ? I don't see the problem of such a question ? F* you and your downvote, This is what's wrong with this StackExchange so called help platform, people downvote for no damn good reason. Just waisting everybody's time. Hopefully someone nice enough will answer me. — mlclm 1 hour ago
 
3:02 PM
@MBraedley s?
 
Well, there went any attempt to actually help them.
 
bs?
 
That can be deleted the instant the button becomes available.
 
@fredley That's more ride cymbal
 
@MBraedley nbsbnbsb
 
3:03 PM
and +1 for calling out downvoters
Wow 2 downvotes ? seriously you guys are really pathetic. Go out more, go see the sunlight. Give people some kind of power to downvote and they will just abuse it. And there, 5 min of my time wasted. 3 downvotes now? What a bunch of morons. ahaha. pathetic. This forum stinks. — mlclm 1 hour ago
 
All you need is masses of t anyway
 
See, I just feel sorry for people like that.
 
@fredley They just don't sound right
 
It's a cry for help.
 
@MBraedley You just don't sound right
 
3:06 PM
I can't quite put my finger on it, but both the attack and sustain seem off.
 
@MBraedley I attack, you decay, can't sustain my releases!
 
@GodEmperorDune Ah, the classic "lolnerds" fallacy.
 
Is it time to go to bed... er... I mean home yet?

Q: How do I get a multiplier to appear?

DJ AftershockThe way to get multipliers to appear is something I can't figure out. Do you just have to match a certain number of gems before one drops? Is it to do with the specific gem colours? I simply can't tell. Can you help me?

 
On a different subject, I finished Episode 5 of Life is Strange last night.
Under the new rules we apparently follow, that means I can start spoiling things in it in 2 weeks or so.
 
3:23 PM
@Powerlord Huh? I'm confused

Q: How did the Community bot update a reference to an incorrect patch number?

Nelsonhttp://gaming.stackexchange.com/posts/239793/revisions The community bot fixed grammatical error, which I can understand, but it knew to fix the patch update number from 1.12 to 1.2? How did it know that?!

Q: Safely delete some Starcraft 2 files?

IMBStarcraft 2 is taking up so much space in my drive. I was wondering if there are some files which can be safely deleted?

 
Since when does anyone respect @badp's rules?
5
 
@SepiaLazers How did it know to fix a grammatical error? AIs aren't that good.
 
@JasonBerkan It didn't.
 
3:31 PM
I know. I'm just expressing disbelief that someone would think that a programmed bot would be able to correct grammar.
 
@PrivatePansy :(
 
@Powerlord rest assured that we're gonna start talking about Afterbirth on day 1
 
@JasonBerkan You've never used word?
 
@badp I'll probably only be able to play starting on day 4.
 
So Kingsmen 2 is coming in 2017.
 
3:45 PM
@Arperum :(
 
@badp Hey, I have a visitor from Slovenia. Visitors > games
Although Games with visitors is fun too.
 
Visitors with games is even better.
 
So Grim Reaper's Sprint is a Luck perk.

Q: What is the point of Raw weapons in dark souls? DS2

Sunspear25I know that in dark souls you can infuse weapons to make them do elemental damage, but what does raw do? Does it just increase damage? If not what else does it do? Also would it be worth it to Raw a great club or is there a better option.

 
3:58 PM
@Yuuki Needs a Colin Firth fight scene or GTFO
 
@Sterno That might be a bit difficult to pull off.
 
Zombies are all the rage
 
@Yuuki which perk was that?
<3 the mysterious stranger tho
 
@djsmiley2k Gain AP (VATS resource) on kill.
 
Ah yus that's always nice
 
3:59 PM
Although there's been some talk that it might be filling the crits bar instead of gaining AP.
