8:00 PM

Hmm, that button is greyed out

click on code space, and check again

I am, although I am in a .pc, not a regular source file.

Ok, then it's just visual studio freaking out.

Opened a .cpp, and it still won't give me the option

Maybe it acts differently for C#?

That doesn't make much sense though.

Yeah, weird.

@Yuuki Did they not get the message that AirPods are delayed indefinitely?

So should I download more RAM or get a better graphics card?

@Yuuki how much ram do you have + what's your current graphics card?

@arda DDR3 8GB and AMD Radeon 7700.

I'm leaning towards more RAM.

I'd recommend graphics card, so you can probably invest into moving to a DDR4 setup later.

8gb isn't bad

8:09 PM

Yeah, if I get DDR4, I'll need to get a new mobo.

and a new cpu

Hence it'll be costlier and hence your investment to a DDR3 ram will... not survive that long

Well, I'm definitely going to be picking up a SSD.

@arda Also rayman fiesta run and nfs: mw, modern combat 4 and hitman sniper is 20 cents

Well, now I'm worried about whether my current setup can handle a new graphics card.

@Yuuki The only limiting factors are power supply and physical space. A new card might not run at full potential, but it'll still run.

8:21 PM

@MBraedley and with current generation of gpu's, it's likely that if you already have a dedicated gpu, your power supply can handle any of the new ones

as long as you have the connectors

Exactly.

Q: Can I get a list of locations of all double battles in pokemon x?

Can I get a list? Please? Need some help here!

A store has a daily life hacks calender. Tempted to buy it for @Sterno

Hmm... GTX 1060 6GB or RX 480?

A driend bought 480 and is happy, but he says that he'd pick 1060 if the price difference was less

8:26 PM

@Yuuki The GPU will fit into the next computer, DDR3 RAM won't

@Yuuki depends on if you're playing more dx11 games than dx12

So how's Thanksgiving so far for everyone?

OK, question, what happened to pebble time 2?

Banh Mi Dac Biet

I'm sick but enjoying some Phở. How about yourself?

The app or the site doesn't show it, but KS page still does.

8:41 PM

@Yuuki So far? Thanksgiving was a month ago :P

Huzzah! Memory leak has been plugged! (in one of three applications)

@Chippies Well...

Q: Where do i get a pet from?

I have seen people in terraria with gerbil pets, and they look so cute! I really want one. Actually, I don't know where to get pets from, so where? Pls help!

God forgive me for this. I'm going to have to buy something from g2a.

But why?

@Yuuki region locks & gifting issues.

steam should just let me pay in the currency of the person I'm buying it for, ugh

8:52 PM

@arda PURGE COMPLETE

also for those wondering @arda password was hunter2

2

@Wipqozn gosh darnit now my steam will get hacked

correcthorsebatterystaple is the new hunter2.

ultron is the new chrome

ultronbrowser.io

I don't know how but I managed to booy up some kind of steam based audio player for age of wonders 3

closing it did nothing

well TIL steam has a music player

God Eater 2 is on sale, which is similar to monster hunter apparently

How, pray tell, is eating gods similar to hunting monsters?

9:01 PM

@JasonBerkan You eat the gods after you hunt them

Problem with non-monster hunter games which are likt it is just "I should just play monster hunteR"

In fact I never did do high rank in generations

@Wipqozn Get on that, turtle.

@Wipqozn I feel that way with every 4x game that isn't Civ. Why am I taking the time to learn this game, when I could just play the game I know?

@Wipqozn that's a nice game

Wharrgarbl

@JasonBerkan Yeah I get that sometimes too with 4X games

@Frank yeah I should get back to it soon

@JasonBerkan Actually I get that with Dwarf Fortress in a way. The gnome version. I consider buying it due to supposedly having a better UI and learning curve, but then I realzied I should just commit more time to learning dwarf fortress.

9:11 PM

ok I managed to not use g2a

Q: If I move, will my "daughter" in Skyrim lose her pet fox?

This might be a weird question, but I'm curious. You see, I've purchased Lake Manor on Falkreath Land in Skyrim. I have a daughter and the boy named Hroar as my children with Balimund as my husband. I'm interested in moving somewhere 'safer' for my children, where they won't be viciously mauled b...

Majora's Mask - Terrible Fate

That reminds me, I really should watch AKira at some point. I've read the manga once, but never watched the anime.

oh I should watch Blade Runner at some point too

you idiot

@Wipqozn I've been meaning to watch this too

9:25 PM

> Our community team is pretty pissed at me

No shit

@Unionhawk It's hilarious

/r/subreddit has a post on it

> There was an obvious consensus: the members of the_donald break site rules constantly, harass moderators, threaten people, and get away with it. But as Mannoslimmin points out in that chat, “However difficult it was [to contain the_donald] before today, it’s a fuckload more difficult after what spez did today.”

@Unionhawk Honestly it wouldn't be so hard if the reddit admins actually did anything

/r/the_donald should have been deleted ages ago, because the moderators encourage all of that

I mean the reddit admins only deleted pedo subs when the media got wind of it.The reddit admins are kind of shitty people from what I've seen.

Yeah otoh maybe this will just drive them to use voat

By themselves

I wouldn't care about strict moderation or lack of moderation if only they were consistent about it.

9:33 PM

user image

when the game itself tells you you're too crap at the game.

@Wipqozn I don't think the general moderation idea of Reddit works at all. It's pretty much anything goes inside each subreddit, depending on whatever the mods there want to do.

The Reddit admins/owners want to have their cake and eat it too. They want to allow "free speech", but they deny any responsibility for whatever the users post there.

Q: Which tree drops apples?

Whenever I start a new survival world in minecraft, I always try to find a tree. But other than wood, I need food, and I know that all trees don't drop apples. Which tree drops apples?

@MadScientist honestly I always felt their claims of free speech was just them not wantint to admit they can't be bothered to do any moderation themselves

@Unionhawk mod abuse needs be tasteful

@KutuluMike which game?

9:39 PM

Witcher 2

@MadScientist to be fair people want to do the same in chat, too

I'm not sure you could effectively moderate Reddit from the top. SE is probably smaller in volume, and it only works because the rules are mostly accepted and enforced all the way down by SE employees, moderators and the users themselves

"don't broadcast my flags pls"

@KutuluMike The tutorial was tacked on later, and not all that good from what I remember

@MadScientist I still don't understand why our flagging model hasn't been copied literally everywhere

a canned message or a short justification, then some sort of sign that says yes a human has actually looked at this

9:41 PM

@MadScientist the combat mechanics are way different from Witcher 1. a very dumbed-down-for-console feel.

I couldn't figure out how to use items effectively. and it doesn't appear you can drink potions mid-combat?

It scales up to stack overflow somehow

@badp Would you trust the /r/the_donald people to not use flags maliciously?

@MadScientist bring back flag weight!!

I mean assuming it has ever actually gone anywhere

@KutuluMike Potions can only be taken during meditation, it's about preparing for a fight. (which isn't always possible, but some are telegraphed well enough that you can prepare)

which I'm not convinced is the case

There's also the possibility of slashdot style distributed moderation

though that's more akin to our review queues

9:44 PM

@badp I agree that some kind of community moderation is essential to keep things sane. But I suspect Reddit is beyond saving in that regard

@MadScientist it would certainly change the website in yuge, bigly ways

Video game violence & glorification must be stopped—it is creating monsters!

9:47 PM

@MadScientist I figure I'll get the hang of it, but it was nice for the tutorial to end by telling me I sucked.

IT'S JUST A MATTER OF GOOD MODRATERSHIP, WE DON'T HAVE GOOD MODRATERSHIP

@KutuluMike When it was released, the prologue was seriously difficult, far more than the later parts of the game. They toned it down a lot now, but it did frustrate many people on release

WE WOULD REGISTER GAMERS AT ARCADES, IN DIFFERENT PLACES, WE MUST STOP MOONING

I love it when I hit edit message and then chat posts a new message instead

Stack Exchange Gaming Blog: Surviving the Witcher 2

fabian on May 19, 2011

Combat in the Witcher 2 is difficult. This is no Hack&Slay, blindly wading into a group of enemies and attacking them will result in a quick death. The difficulty is increased to frustrating levels by the tutorial, which doesn’t explain much and just drops you into difficult fights without telling you how to fight. I’ve summarized some basic combat tactics here that should make the initial fights less frustrating. I’m not assuming any investment in advanced talents, all the tactics here are valid for a low-level witcher. …

Looks like the blog still exists, didn't actually expect that

ah incidentally and to the surprise of very few, SE is winding down the blog platform

9:50 PM

Fuck was that a long time ago, doesn't feel like it

we might be able to have a static version of the blog in place so links don't break however

the blog was good enough to send off agent86 to his garme jurnalism™ career and that's probably more than anyone expected

garmet journalism*

It was always difficult to convince people to post stuff there, I mostly just posted that post because SE payed for the game for me ;-)

@Unionhawk refrance check rolls are always the hardest *consoles*

happens to the @wipqozn'test of us

@MadScientist SE is just now considering getting rid of the per-site blogs but they're still around.

though, gaming's isn't on blogoverflow so maybe it'll stick around

10:10 PM

night bridge

@KutuluMike no

it isn't particularly hard to post on medium, or reddit, or tumblr. We don't really stand to gain much from our blog

we migrated SF/F's blog to someone else's hosted wordpress.

at least I got my karma :P

Worldbuilding started one on medium

Q: Should I use the term "UI" or "HUD" with games?

In video gaming, the HUD (head-up display) or Status Bar is the method by which information is visually relayed to the player as part of a game's user interface. The HUD is frequently used to simultaneously display several pieces of information including the main character's health,...

I really want to fight Plantera, because I have all the gear and stuff. But there's one problem; I don't know how to summon it. What do I have to do to summon Plantera?

Rush hour is like that, but not necessarily every day or both directions

Also somewhat less on some of the lesser used freeways

I have had to load a previous saved game (again) on fallout 4 only this time Kellogg's outfit the minute men generals uniform and the silver shroud outfit have vanished out of my workbench. Is this another bug?

Q: How do I find out which mods are causing performance drops?

So I've just installed the Skyrim Special Edition and customized it with about 100 mods using Nexus Mod Manager. But even though I can play a heavily modded regular Skyrim without problems, I'm now noticing some performance drops while outside. They don't happen inside though. I've watched the pe...

skyrim performance

Youtube just suggested I watch someone's Pokemon Sun and Moon let's play, part 50.

I checked and their first episode was 5 days ago, so that's a video every 2.3 hours.

11:34 PM

@Ronan Pfft, sleep is for the weak

Some of the episodes are like 45 minutes long too!

@Dragonrage but dude like silicon valley is the dream

the perfect place where perfect people work for perfect companies in perfect playgrounds perfectly

it's like campus... forever

user15026

@Ronan that's some dedication

If it was not a Nintendo game I'd assume they'd stockpiled them.

user15026

11:51 PM

@Frank you know that doesn't actually ping any of us, right? (also, dealt with)

@Ash I figured with mods being active, one of you would see it.

user15026

(aka if you actually do want us to notice something...ping us properly)

user15026

@Frank even so, it doesn't make sense to do it that way..

user image

@Ash Well, if you want me to ping you all, okie dokie.

11:52 PM

I'm making a custom Werewolf deck!

user15026

@Frank you could also, I don't know, look at the user list and ping whoever is active?

user15026

Or custom flag something of theirs?

user15026

You have options that are a bit more practical.

@Ash Hard to do on mobile, but sure, if I'm at my computer, I can do that.

user15026

I'm just saying, going oh mods deal with a thing without ensuring anyone is actually paying attention is a little silly.

11:54 PM

I need to design some symmetrical icons for the centres of the cards.

W is symmetrical

@GnomeSlice Rotationally symmetrical.

Technically 180 degree rotationally symmetric.

Rotate it
