Oh no
 
user15026
I am scared to find out what happens
 
@AshleyNunn She's all talk.
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot You say that now...
 
@OrigamiRobot Until she comes to your house one day, while you're asleep...
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone She can't get in.
 
4:03 AM
She'll shoot you in the back. With her camera. And post embarrassing pictures of you on the internet.
 
user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Best revenge
 
TIL that tapping of game cards is patented by Wizards of the Coast
 
You'll never know what hit you, until it's too late
 
(well the whole TCG concept anyway, but)
 
@spugsley You do have embarrassing pictures of @OrigamiRobot, right? Right?
 
4:05 AM
@OrigamiRobot HA. This is so funny
@YiJiang'sEvilClone of course I do. Who do you think I am?
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Nah.
 
@OrigamiRobot is this a challenge?'
 
Ooooooooooooooooooo
 
@spugsley I am not embarrassed by any of the pictures you have.
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot That you know of.

@OrigamiRobot I know things
 
user15026

@OrigamiRobot like who you used to be
 
@spugsley I used to be BMO

@NightExcessive hahaha thank you
 
@OrigamiRobot before that
 
@spugsley GIR
 
user15026
@NightExcessive Also your avatar reminds me of a friend on Steam's avatar and it is sometimes confusing me :P

user15026
@spugsley YOU BROKE MY HEART JUST NOW
 
I'm still a sad robot.
 
@OrigamiRobot stop it, you'll break @AshleyNunn
 
@spugsley She hasn't even watched FLCL and neither have you.

4:13 AM
@OrigamiRobot AH NO STOP I AM HEARTBROKEN ALREADY
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot I dont CARE it looks so SAD

@OrigamiRobot cries into her buttercream
 
user15026
@NightExcessive you win.
 
4:21 AM
@NightExcessive You've run for six years. Your reward? Abandonment.
 
@fbueckert Poor rover. One day the voice in its head just stops. And it's stuck. And left there forever.
 
user15026
@NightExcessive this is so depressing
 
Saddest robot of them all.
 
user15026
no more sad robots

Q: Overstacking Ransack: worth it?

NiteCyperIn Borderlands, there is a skill called Ransack. With a class mod, it's possible to push the effect of this over 5 out of the 5 skill point natural maximum. However, some skills have no extra effect from being pushed over their limit. This skill could have no benefit from overstacking if it's cod...

Q: Can PSP Batteries be recharged via USB

Memor-Xmy mum picked up this cool carry bag which has a matching logo for this PSP Case, inside the bag was a bunch of cables one of which was a recharge cable but instead of an AC Adapter at the end it was a USB plug now i have a Lithium Ion Battery Pack which i use to charge up my iPhone and iPhone M...

 
NO DISASSEMBLE. FLEE ESCAPE.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh man.
 
@AshleyNunn Have you never seen Short Circuit?
Because if so, you're in luck. Some jerk put the whole thing on Youtube.
The Best Robot Movie Ever.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz It has Ally Sheedy! :D It must be awesome.
 
user15026
4:29 AM
I will have to watch it sometime when it is not 12:28 am
 
@AshleyNunn It's a classic. JOHNNY FIVE IS ALIVE.
 
Hi folks. I'm trying to identify an Apple II game I played once. Would it be appropriate to create a question for it in gaming.stackexchange?
 
@Thunderforge No, that is off-topic.
 
Too bad. I was hoping it would be like scifi.stackexchange where you can do story identification questions.
 
4:36 AM
@OrigamiRobot That has none of the panic of "No Disassemble".
 
user15026
@thunderforge we can try helping here, but those things are off topic on main
 
@Thunderforge As a rule of thumb, when it comes to site policy, we are the polar opposite of Sci-fi.se on most things.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz It's been so long since I saw that movie.
 
@OrigamiRobot Same.
 
Like, I remember the robot's name is Johnny 5 and that's about it.
 
4:37 AM
I am rectifying that fact now.
12 mins ago, by LessPop_MoreFizz
NO DISASSEMBLE.
 
I know, I don't remember that scene at all.
 
user15026
@lesspop I really want to watch this. Maybe I will tonorrow when I am still likely stuck on a very low movement sort of pain day
 
OK I'M GOING TO BED K BYE
 
@OrigamiRobot Are you?
 
@Ullallulloo I downloaded it and it wouldn't let me log in even after a password reset.
 
user15026
4:44 AM
@spugsley good night
 
So I gave up.
 
@OrigamiRobot I had no trouble just now.
I was wondering what server to join.
hmm...apparently they'll be merged in the actual launch of the game.
I guess Dragon...
 
5:32 AM
@Ullallulloo Ewwww, can't you dump dex for Str?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz No, just choose a bonus from your race.
Your race and class affects them.
I chose charisma.
 
@Ullallulloo It was my understanding that you could reroll the point spread within a small range
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz You could in NWN, but it doesn't seem like it here. I could have just missed it though.
 
@Ullallulloo Yeah, I mean in NW Online specifically.
NWN uses point buy, there's no rolling for stats. :P
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Okay. :P
I was thinking they were different the first time.

Q: Has anyone gotten SD Gundam Capsule Fighter to run on Linux?

NilMy current setup is running Wine version 1.4.1 on Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail. Most of the games I've installed via wine worked well on 13.04. I am able to download the OG Planet Game Launcher and it seems to run fine on Wine. Then I click the link from the launcher that downloads SD Gundam Caps...

 
6:03 AM
Uh, is it true that some games are optimized for Radeon and others for GeForce? :|
I have way too many games with ATI Radeon banners and installer blurbs
 
I don't think so. Both companies update their drivers all the time to increase performance on new games
 
NVIDIA should have caught up with Tomb Raider by now. I know the first few weeks were disastrous for GeForce users
I have like a couple dozen browser tabs on part picking and PC building right now -_-
So much to read up
 
SO MUCH SHIPPING
Oh wow, there's Tom x Rarity shipfics. How in the world...
WHY IS TOM EVEN ON THIS CHART
Also, there are a few vertices that connect to themselves, which is... disturbing. I think I need to go lie down now
 
user15026
6:36 AM
This chart breaks my brain
 
6:50 AM
Too early for fredley
 
7:40 AM
I either don't get the chart or don't understand how the weights of the links come about. The colours of the circles represent the (current? dominant?) gender, right? If so, what's the link weight? ... Because if it is "amount of fanshipping going on", the implications about the authors would be strange at least.
 
@MartinSojka Colors in the circle represent gender. Thickness of line indicates the amount of shipfics between the pair of characters found on fimfic.net. I have no idea how the author of the graph chose to represent polygamy, assuming those fics exist (they probably do)
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone So, fimfic.net is a predominantly lesbian site then?
 
Hmmm, the raw data used to generate this chart suggests that only 67.4% of the relationships are homosexual, which is smaller than I'd expect
 
@yij your mission is to make the graph connected. Some poor ponies are left behind lonely
 
Also, fimfic.net is for all FiM fanfics, and (most?) are not shipping.
@badp The problem is... they're not all ponies.
TOM is a giant piece of rock Rarity found in the season 2 premiere
 
7:45 AM
WHEN HAS THAT EVER STOPPED A SHIPPER
 
I don't think I've even heard of some of these characters
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Ah, objectophilia.

Erika "Aya" Eiffel (née Erika LaBrie), is an American woman who famously "married" the Eiffel Tower[http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=7283494&page=1 Woman Proves Love for Eiffel Tower With Commitment Ceremony], ABC News, April 8, 2009 in a commitment ceremony in 2007.

She has been featured as a spokesperson and advocate in a wide variety of publications, and on radio talk shows and television programs. She is a former US military member and arche...
 
7:49 AM
Was the Eiffel tower willing though?
Does it make disturbing noises uncontrollably when its wife is nearby?
 
Well, he didn't run away or object ...
 
I wonder if it'll attend the funeral
 
There's also incest... and so many ships of Miss Cheerilee and her students...
 
From all kinds of strange "-philias", this one seems rather harmless though. What's the worst that can happen, the French police will find her one night humping the leg of her husband?
 
morning people
 
8:06 AM
I like comments of the sort "This was totally unexpected." Right, because when you give kids (hell, people in general) guns, it's totally unexpected that accidents will happen and someone will die, eventually.
 
"In this case, the rifle was made by a company that sells guns specifically for children - "My first rifle" is the slogan"

Q: How can I earn a bunch of arrowheads quickly in Psychonauts?

Paul MarshallI've finished Lungfishopolis, blown my stash of arrowheads on the magnet-thing and a couple of psy cores, and just started the Milkman Conspiracy. And now I'm suddenly shown a warning that says "You should have the Cobweb thing, or you won't get far in the Milkman Conspiracy." It costs 800 arrow...

 
@Blem That's a cultural thing. I grant them that. It's their choice on how dangerous they want the lives of their children make, which pre-adult death rate they find acceptable, and which skills they teach to their children, as long as none of that impacts me or my children and isn't against basic human rights.
Knowing how to hunt might be one of those useful skills (though if it was me, I'd go for building traps and fishing instead, this serves survival pretty well).
 
8:23 AM
Huh, Firefox's about:memory tells me the spell check is using 108.28 MB of RAM
 
 
How does happen?
 
totally off topic, just thought the chat was missing a gif of an animal
and I wanted it to be a bird of some kind
 
Also, the page is buggy. After refreshing it found some components using negative amount of memory, which is impossible
 
!!!!!
that is briliant
copy the components and make a page that increases your ram
you can make a real downloadmoreram.com
 
8:26 AM
@Blem That reminds me, thankfully it's spring finally. I can actually see tits in our garden again! Damn things were hiding all the winter.
 
Unfortunately it's the heap-unclassified memory space, which is basically the "I dunno where these numbers go" component
Seriously though, why is spell check using so much memory?
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Sounds like a bug, or you have all the languages installed. Mine uses 1.83MB (four European languages).
 
Hello everyone
 
I can move it around and zoom in and out, but i am having some problems getting the zoom to focus the correct place (only tested in chrome, mousewheel is not hooked right in firefox so dosnt work)
 
8:35 AM
@MartinSojka No, just EN-GB. Memory in terms of RAM, and not disc space
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Mine use 1.83 MB of RAM as well. en-GB, fr, pl, de-DE.
 
@MartinSojka Fake guns or water guns are OK. All kids play "shooting" stuff, even with random objects. The problem is giving kids real guns. Without supervision, it shouldn't happen. But also with it, I don't really agree. You're teaching a kid something that he doesn't fully understand yet. Kids don't know what are all the implications of using a gun, so I'd better stick to more regular things like lego et similia. Kids should be kids.
 
@Alenanno I also don't think it's a good idea at such an early stage. I just accept that people are free to do so anyway.
 
Apparently. It still sounds weird to me that someone produces guns "for children". The very idea of this.

Q: Is it possible to strafe/sidestep?

DavidYellIs it possible to sidetep or strafe in Heretic? Currently I'm playing using Cursors, ctrl and space. I'm struggling to avoid enemy projectiles without the use of a strafe. I've avoided using the mouse as it feels strange to not have free look. I don't see anything for this in the options. Will ...

 
8:50 AM
@MartinSojka But let's talk about happier topics. What games do you like? (Genre, titles, etc)
 
@Alenanno Mostly strategy games, RPGs and sandbox MMOs. :D Things I like to mod for or write as well. Too bad you can't see other's ignore and favourite tag lists (I think). :)
 
HELLO I AM HERE
 
Oh uhm, no you can't. :P
Hey @kalina
 
o/
 
Though I frankly have no idea what others here like, and it doesn't seem like it particularly matters.
 
8:54 AM
I love RTS and FPS. :P
 
@kalina Who woke up the dragon?!?
 
Even if I have a slightly deeper love for RTS.
 
@MartinSojka meh, while I am not in the best mood this morning I did have to wake up for work
 
@kalina That is not fun, unless you love your job. :P
 
I don't
I love getting paid though
 
8:56 AM
lol
ahah yes
 
@Alenanno I only like RTSes which are strategical games as well (like the Paradox games: Hearts of Iron, Europa Universalis, and so on). :)
 
@MartinSojka What about Rise of Nations, Cossacks, Starcraft, Age of Empires (series), Sins of a solar Empire, Homeworld, Command and Conquer, Submarine Titans, etc? :P
 
I am eating sour skittles for breakfast
om nom nom
(cc: @OrigamiRobot)
 
@Alenanno Starcraft, AoE, C&C: Boring tactical-level clickfest. Others: Didn't play it.
 
Oh c'mon, not boring :D
(Especially in LAN games)
 
8:59 AM
Well, it's boring for me.
 
But yeah, it's more like: gather resources, build stuff, build army, crash opponent.
Sins of a Solar Empire starts to get a bit more complicated.
Let me check those you listed above.
If you have suggestions, feel free to tell me.
 
Sins is pretty strategic, though not quite on the level of Paradox games
 
@kalina mornings
 
I don't want to direct every single of my units. I want to set up logistics and tell them where I'd like the front line to be and in which direction to attack or fall back; then worry about finances, research, production, supply and so on.
 
@MartinSojka Oh I see, that's fun as well. :D I would like that, but also be able to directly control my troops (if I want to).
 
9:05 AM
@Blem o/
starcraft is a boring game
 
@Alenanno Your OOB in Hearts of Iron (when playing a major power like Germany, Soviet Union, USA or GB) can easily be in the 1000 division range spread over multiple continents. I'll stick with creating a chain of command and tell my generals which territories I'd like conquered and which I'd like defended, thanks alot. ;)
 
the only games worth playing are the ones with blood, fire, and EXPLOSIONS (not made by Blizztivision)
 
I like the automation in Supreme Commander
 
@kalina Starcraft has all that. :P
 
@kalina YES, but it dosn't stop me from wasting countless numbers of hours on it
 
9:07 AM
lol
 
@Alenanno sorry starcraft is made by the call of duty company
 
@kalina atm im playing Warframe, space ninjas, got a bit of blood in it and what you most likely would love about it is that all weapons can be modded with fire damage so you can set stuff on fire
 
@kalina That's not quite exact.
 
@kalina tsk tsk, trying to start a flame war this early in the morning?
2
 
@Alenanno so they're not made by a subsidiary of Vivendi?
seems pretty exact to me!
 
Blizzard and Activision merged, they didn't buy it. The two teams might have cooperated but saying that they did the game is not exact.
 
oh so Blizzard is completely independent from Activision is what you're saying?
because their adoption of the "rinse all customers for all the monies" tactic says otherwise
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone why does she have a 5 o'clock shadow?
 
@kalina The originals weren't, if I remember correctly.
 
Are you talking about how SC2 has been released?
 
9:11 AM
@kalina they actually added you to Warframe youtube.com/…
 
@Alenanno SC2, WoW, Diablo 3
so.. basically all three of their franchises
like, every game they've made
 
@DanHulme The light is emanating from the tip of the horn
 
not to mention the merciless murder of Blizzard North
 
nah, WoW was always like that
 
@DanHulme wrong, vanilla and BC was different
 
9:12 AM
Different how?
 
they didn't milk it with the store, the gameplay quality was significantly higher, etc
 
I understand you don't like the 3-discs for SC2 thing, but if you think about it, each "game" has the same number of missions of the original one. So technically, you are getting a full game. The gameplay is not bad but I think that comes to personal likings and so it's not something we can discuss. :P
I would have preferred a single game with 3 campaigns, but well...
 
I played vanilla WoW, and my recollection doesn't paint it as any better than other MMOs of the time (EQ2, SWG).
The main audience of SC2 isn't for single-player; so I kind of understand them doing that.
 
let's split a game in three and release it three times for three times the profit!
 
I think Diablo 3 is their main failing -- it's just shallow.
 
9:16 AM
sounds like Activision to me.
@TZHX what do you expect, it's not like they had the experience of making the first two
 
@TZHX You compared it to SWG (original, pre-stupidifying), no wonder WoW didn't seem better. ;)
 
and they killed off the company that did make the first two
 
I don't want to sound like Blizz's advocate, but like I said, it's a full game. Besides the expansions cost less.
 
@Alenanno ... "it's a full game, besides the other parts of the game weren't at full price"
 
SC2 Wings of liberty has 29-30 missions, the original SC (not counting Brood War), has 30 missions.
 
9:17 AM
mindless drones following Blizztivision to the end of the gaming industry without batting an eyelid
 
No, I've been following the issue for days.
I disagree with some decisions.
For example the lack of LAN support.
 
I gave up on SWG some time between their Jedi (can't remember the term they used for that, but Force Village etc.) changes and the NGE.

@kalina tsk tsk, trying to start a flame war this early in the morning?
 
It's morning?
 
Where she is, it is
 
9:19 AM
Also here.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I am too innocent to start flamewars
 
@kalina Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure
 
if you interpret the truth as flame baiting then that's your problem
 
Flame wars are what makes the internet work. Without them, it'd just be pictures of cats and porn.
 
I'm not flaming lol
 
9:21 AM
@kalina they make great games, stop being a hipster-gamer
 
@Blem did you just call me a hipster?
and I'm sorry, which part of Blizzard's current gaming lineup is better and more innovative than their last generation of games?
 
YES! you sound like a hipster, just about gaming
 
because let's face it
WoW: TBC and vanilla > current WoW
Diablo 1 + 2 > Diablo 3
starcraft 1 > starcraft 2 part 1, 2, 3, 17
and while we're at it
 
That depends on what you're considering.
 
Call of Duty > all other Call of Duties
 
9:23 AM
It's not all crap or gold.
 
you are idealising old times because you remember how you felt when you played the game, they made several strives to improve the games
 
I actually thought World at War was the best CoD. Though I haven't played the two most recent entries.
 
Wait, how many CoD's are there?
 
Hang on, @kalina plays RTS games?
 
@kalina Warcraft 3 > Warcraft 2.
 
9:25 AM
@Alenanno about 20
 
I defently feel like SC2 is better than SC1, D3 has a lot of good things and the general Game is better than the old, it is just missing some key things that the old game had right

And what ...

 
LOL talk about the devil :P
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I would never admit to this in public.
 
9:26 AM
The problem I see with WoW is that it just keeps getting bigger, so they keep making the run-up to the previous level cap easier, so content is ridiculously quick to pass by the point where it's not actually playable.
 
@kalina Why not?
 
@kalina Mmmmmhmmmmmmmhmmmmmmmmm.
 
@Alenanno I said this conversation isn't happening
 
:P
 
9:27 AM
She's more into ME-themed dating sims
 
This is not the public! (More or less)
 
@Blem Diablo 3 is graphically superior but that's it
even the music is better in D2
@Alenanno chat is indexed by Google, you don't get more public than that
 
@badp Oooooooo, I can totally see her playing games like that
 
@kalina not just that, the boss fights are better, many of the interface decisions are also better
 
(The Diablo 2 experience bar is so tiny.)
 
9:28 AM
@Blem Blizzard don't get points for boss fights, they have an MMO
just like Bioware don't get points for story telling
 
@kalina I counted 18.
 
@MartinSojka I was just guessing
 
Close enough, I guess.
 
Depends on if you count expansions?
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone No. Call of Duty, CoD 2, CoD 3, CoD 4: Modern Warfare, CoD: MW 2, CoD: MW 3, CoD: World at War, CoD: Black Ops, CoD: BO 2, CoD: Finest Hour (GameCube, PS2, XBox), CoD 2: Big Red One (GameCube, PS2, XBox), CoD: Roads to Victory (PSP), CoD: World at War: Final Fronts (PS2), CoD: MW: Mobilized (Nintento DS), CoD: Black Ops DS (Nintento DS), CoD: World at War: Zombies (iOS), CoD: The War Collection (XBox360).
 
9:36 AM
:O
Wth.
 
What about CoD: MW Reflex Edition on Wii?
 
xD
 
I think that's just a port.
 
@kalina What games do you play? Or like?
 
they changed a lot of things
 
9:40 AM
@Alenanno I AM NOT TELLING YOU
to be honest, you could work it out without my input
it's clearly advertised
Here are some of the games that have previously occupied large portions of my time:

Deus Ex series ♥
SimCity series ♥
Mass Effect series ♥
EVE Online
World of Warcraft
The Secret World
Neocron
Guild Wars 2
FTL: Faster than Light
Crysis series
Quake 3: Arena
Counterstrike
Diablo series
Borderlands series
Torchlight 2
 
It's not like it's the only big series. Ultima has 22 games.
 
The GOG review for the PC version of Fez says that most of the concerns for initial build are gone. The game will support multiple resolutions without letterboxing, and audio cues replace controller rumble if you're using keyboard
 
watching that crappy reality tv series I watched yesterday
it appears to have revitalised part of my memory I had successfully damaged
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Oh I love GOG.
 
Coincidentally, #UnpopularGamingOpinions is trending on Twitter.
 
9:44 AM
so now I have 90s manufactured pop songs stuck in my head
 
@kalina Yay?
 
Well if they're from the 90s, it's ok... It'd be worse with nowadays songs. :P
 
90s manufactured pop is better than current manufactured pop.
 
Exactly lol
 
Everything was better when we were young.
(er)
 
9:47 AM
@kalina They're never gonna give you up, ever gonna let you down, never gonna run around and desert you. (Yes, 1987, I'm aware of it. Sue me.)
 
sets @MartinSojka on fire
 
@MartinSojka I've watched some Hearts of Iron 3 on Youtube but... I couldn't make much sense of it. I guess it's something you need to play to understand it better.
 
get on up, when you're down, baby, take a good look around... I know it's not much, but it's ok... keep on moving on anyway
 
@Alenanno Reading the manual might help. It's just 87 pages for the basic, un-expanded version (something like 250 for one with all expansions).
 
9:51 AM
obviously the solution here is more drugs to re-damage my brain
 
That's for HoI 3, not sure about the older ones.
 
@MartinSojka Check that video. :D It shows what would be Quake like if it was done today.
 
I'm off for a while, see you later.
 
@Alenanno Heh. :) Though it's beating a dead horse by now, really.
