@GnomeSlice Well SE use it for commercial use, so I think we're fine.
 
@Fabian Gotta say, I think the Magelight spell in Skyrim is the most clever/ useful implementation of a basic 'light' spell I've ever seen.
I can hit enemies with it and get a tracer!
 
Hi there.
 
Never used it that way, I hardly ever user light spells
 
@Moshe hi.
@Fabian I've been spamming it to grind alteration as I wander town and come up with a bunch of clever uses.
 
Doing homework.
 
5:05 PM
But yeah, if it hits an NPC/Mob then it follows them around
 
Infinite numbers and sets.
 
@RonanForman How are you sending this?
 
That's not actually how I've done it before. It's better!
Also feel free to mess with the effect sizes
 
game on?
 
Can't change the font size?

Q: How much is the reward for Stag Party?

FallenAngelEyesAt the end of the mission, you're given the option to either turn Josh Birk in to Cyrus to get a bonus to City Takeovers, or you can give him to Shaundi to turn him into a Homie. Cyrus mentioned that they'd put pressure on Morningstar instead of the Saints, so I assume the bonus is within their t...

Q: How do I raise Mysticism when it's too low to cast spells?

jsnlxndrlvEvery mysticism spell I've come across requires at least a 25 in the skill in order to be used; however, my mysticism is only 12. I'd like to be able to create a minor spell for training up the ability, but the spell-making table won't allow me to use any spell effect that I can't already cast. H...

Q: Dual Wielding mechanics in Skyrim

FreaknShroomsOK, so "no lollygagging", basically what i want to know is: Do all "on hit effects", such as weapon perks and enchantments, come in play when you power attack and not only when you swing normally? If they do, does the target then get separately affected by all 4 strikes from a duel power at...

 
@GnomeSlice All the effects are measured in pixels, if you change the size they don't scale too.
 
Oh, but they're just layer effects, those should scale.
 
@Mvy It was for reference, I was getting it the same as my splash screen.
@GnomeSlice Try it.
 
Made me think of TRON:Legacy :P
 
@RonanForman Seems fine for me. What version of Photoshop do you have?
@Mvy It's not really anything like it.
 
5:12 PM
@GnomeSlice CS3
 
@RonanForman Ah. I have CS5.
 
@Gnome well, I mean for the expression, not the design.
 
^ That's what it should like.
 
That's it resized.
This file is 3508x2480 pixels. What ratio is that?
 
The outline and glow have got smaller.
 
5:17 PM
@RonanForman So they have. Alright then.
 
About 4:3
You'll have to ramp up the size on the outer glow and drop shadow if you want it bigger.
 
I actually want it smaller, this is a huge file.
No worries. Thanks.
 
I find it better to work in larger files.
 
Yes, but When it comes to video, it's not a good idea. I'm going to go for 1920x1080.
Argh, ChatSearch, y u no work.
 
What are you searching for?
 
5:25 PM
I was trying to find the highest resolution version of the facebook profile photo that I uploaded, but it wouldn't have layers anyway.
I wish I hadn't deleted it.
Anyway, just give me some time, I'll see what I can do.
@RonanForman You wouldn't happen to have a high-resolution file for the Heart logo, would you?
 
I would have 5 minutes ago, give me a minute, do you want the red glow?
 
Hang on, I think I've got one.
 
They're not hard to make.
 
The problem is that the original logo isn't very high resolution.
I'm using the one I did for the Tournament Bracket.
 
I'll get you one if you want.
 
5:29 PM
How high resolution can you get it?
 
Infinite.
 
The one I have now is probably just as good as yours.
@RonanForman Without losing quality?
 
Rescale with nearest neighbor.
 
Please do, then. Make it really big if you don't mind.
What's 'nearest neighbour'?

Q: Are Soul Gem fragments worth keeping?

spugsleyI've been occasionally finding soul gem fragments in certain dungeons in Skyrim. Since they weigh so little, I've been picking them up just in case. Well, I've accumulated about 20 of them now so I'm wondering if they serve any purpose. Can I do anything with soul gem fragments?

Q: How to play a mage in Skyrim

justinhjNot a guru in these kind of games, but I'm trying to play as a Mage. At level 6 I have an imperial guard buddy that helps, and I kill most things easily enough with fire or firebolt. Some things are just too tough. Ice Wolves for example. They just lay into me and I'm dead before I can do enough ...

 
5:36 PM
hum. Question 1: why the tag in the topic is not working? Q2: why is there no link to gaming anymore?
oh wait
 
@Mvy Murder has been removed by Jeff.
 
I have no idea what you mean
 
Q1 modified, why is there one tag not correctly rendered...
oh and... wait I reload to be sure
 
That happens to me too sometimes.
 
So yes I see a [tag:murder] in real text
just before the real tag in fact
 
5:37 PM
Well, yes, because that's in the topic
 
And the link was very handy
 
You could just click right beneath it for the actual tag.
 
@Mvy How did you make that not turn into a tag?
 
Code formatting
 
with backticks? [tag:test]
 
5:39 PM
@Gnome Redownload the file again.
 
Excellent, thanks.
 
Nearest neighbour is where it either takes a pixel and turns it into 4, or takes the average of 4 pixels and turns it into 1 without changing the pixels between them to smooth it. (4:1 in the case of halving resolution)
 
@RonanForman Also, if I rasterize the text layer, I can resize it. I don't think I need to make any modifications to the actual text so that's what I'm going to do.
@RonanForman There's a bit of weirdness going on at the edges, but I can fix it manually.
 
Yeah, that works but it's lossy, I'd resize it first.
 
@RonanForman Not if I'm sizing it down.
 
5:43 PM
Looked fine to me, maybe I used regular resizing by accident.
 
The aforementioned edge weirdness.
 
I noticed that. But I was imagining it. Odd.
 
Eh, it'll be fine.
I'll put some effects on it in AE and you won't even be able to see it.
 
I'd refill it in Photoshop personly.
 
Actually yeah.
 
5:46 PM
But I don't have access to photoshop at the moment without annoying chrisF
 
There's also some Ghosting.
Around the edges.
I'll clean that up too.
@RonanForman Then how did you generate these files?
 
Sorry!
I annoyed ChrisF
Well for the heart, I made the text before I logged off.
 
Does CS3 have 'smart objects'?
 
Yes.
 
But I hate them.
 
5:51 PM
Well, I think so, anyway. CS3 is a while ago.
 
Well, that's how you resize things like the text and keep the effects the proper size.
 
@GnomeSlice No it isn't.
 
Yes it is.
 
It really isn't.
That's the easiest and worst way of going about it.
 
Yes. It is. Text effects don't scale with the text unless you convert it.
 
5:53 PM
@Arda What do you do then?
 
@RonanForman Depends. I usually do it by hand.
Either that or just link the layers and transform.
 
They're not separate layers, @Arda.
I know what I'm talking about, Jesus Christ.
 
Okay that's the worst way of doing it.
 
@GnomeSlice Then... you can just resize it?
Although... rasterized text? That is bad.
 
@ArdaXi Text effects (i.e. outer glow) don't scale with the text.
Smart Objects aren't rasterized.
 
5:55 PM
@GnomeSlice If you resize the layer you resize the effects with them.
 
@Arda How exactly to you resize a layer?
 
@ArdaXi That's what I thought too, but it's not how it works with text effects. Since they use things like 'intensity', 'spread', etc.
 
@RonanForman Well, layer effects are based on the alpha channel I believe.
@GnomeSlice Wait... what?
You want the properties of the effects to scale with the resizing... and your solution is to use a smart object?
 
Seems reasonable to me.
 
Yes... that's what Smart Objects are for.
 
5:58 PM
I always found the name ironic.
I can't think of any 'smart' reason to use them.
 
I think I have too many extensions installed in Chrome. SE chat has been approaching unusability for a while now.
 
I was always taught a non-destructive workflow in Photoshop.
 
How often do you use Photoshop exactly @Arda?
 
@RonanForman In total? Not that much... maybe a couple dozen hours a year.
I work more with other Adobe products.
 
@ArdaXi ಠ_ಠ
 
5:59 PM
@Arda Then shut up.
 
I've had more training than that though.
 
@RonanForman I wasn't going to put it that politely.
 
2 years ago I must've used it way more.
 
@ArdaXi I'm studying Interactive Multimedia. I have full courses devoted to various software packages.
For once.
 
@GnomeSlice Seriously, what is your problem lately?
You go out of your way to rub people the wrong way and then complain if they go against you.
 
6:01 PM
@ArdaXi You are my problem lately. You're getting really freaking annoying.
 
You can either do one or the other, not both.
Either accept that you're going to be offended or don't offend people.
 
I'm not going out of my way to do anything, you think you can just barge in to any conversation and try to prove me wrong, which you do at every opportunity.
 
How exactly does he do the former?
 
@GnomeSlice I do that to everyone.
I haven't had a complaint from anyone but you.
 
I've noticed. And it's really fucking annoying, particularly since you're much more eloquent than I. So people tend to believe that I obviously don't know what I'm talking about and go with whatever the hell you say.
 
6:03 PM
@Gnome Have you got skype?
 
@GnomeSlice Only to you though.
Which leads me to believe it's more of a problem with you than me.
 
Guys, calm down.
 
@Arda You don't do it to everyone. You haven't once done it to me on the same scale as you do to @Gnome.
 
@Mana I am calm, it just gets a little bit annoying to talk to people with an inferiority complex.
 
Arda, I can assure you that your arguments are annoying to more people than just Gnomeslice, so please, let's just stop.
7
 
6:04 PM
@Mana People should really say these things.
 
@ArdaXi It's also annoying to talk to someone with a superiority complex.
 
@GnomeSlice I don't have a superiority complex. I've been proven wrong plenty of times in this room, and I always accept it.
 
@ArdaXi Yes, they should. Now then, let's just cool off. Both of you aren't in the best of moods, so I think you should just take a break.
 
I don't think I'm inferior to you, but you always try to prove me wrong, and everyone else usually believes you over me.
 
@Mana I'm fine, I'm just not going to stand for being personally called out.
@GnomeSlice The difference is I don't connect the statements to the people. If I disagree with something someone says, I go against the thing they say, not the person.
 
6:06 PM
@ArdaXi And I'm sick of putting up with you tearing apart everything I say.
 
Additionally, if someone disagrees with me, I take it that they disagree with what I say and not who I am.
 
@Mana Can you suspend me for an hour?
 
@GnomeSlice I'd venture to guess that you're probably sick of more people than just Arda tearing apart everything you say, so I understand why you're frustrated.
 
Everyone else is reasonable about it.
Just fucking suspend me. If you won't, I'll trigger the auto-suspend.
 
@GnomeSlice Are you sure you want me to suspend you? It's easy to just click the leave button and close the tab.
 
6:08 PM
Suspend me.
 
Fuuuccccc---
 
hm.
 
What a way to go.
 
I really would have preferred not to do that.
 
@GraceNote nods
 
6:10 PM
@GnomeSlice I would've preferred to take you aside and talk to you in private. I'd still like to do that if you've cooled down after an hour.
 
Why is everyone fighting D:
 
@Arda Honestly man, I get the idea behind objecting to something that you think is wrong, but there are some times when you need to just...let it go, I guess?
 
@Mana I never let it get personal.
 
Politeness would've gone a long way, I imagine.
 
@Arda Why don't I believe you?
 
6:11 PM
@RonanForman I did once, and I explained myself.
 
Arda's a debater. The entire essence of a debater is dissociating the arguer from the argument.
 
@GraceNote The point at which someone tells me to "Shut the fuck up" is the point where politeness falls.
 
@ArdaXi I wasn't saying you were impolite.
But in a general scenario - I recommend that if someone in chat is doing something that is bothering anyone of you, ask them politely to stop doing it.
 
@GraceNote I completely agree.
 
@Grace Also being a debater means he enjoys debating, I notice he does so on certain people more than others.
 
6:14 PM
@RonanForman Most of the time I don't even really pay attention to who's saying what.
 
Which is another trait of being a debater, as it were
 
So do you happen to agree with everything I say?
 
If you avoid saying disagreeable things, it's pretty easy
 
@Grace But I don't.
 
@RonanForman I'm fairly sure I've disagreed with you quite a couple of times too.
 
6:16 PM
And I note that he was opposed to you just earlier
 
But he attacked gnome...
 
@RonanForman I resent that.
I don't attack anyone.
 
Attacked in the loosest sense of the word.
 
I really don't like what you're implying by saying that.
 
Holy crap what happened in here
 
6:17 PM
Argument about argument about argument.
 
So it's like the old tzenes vs. Arda days?
 
@FallenAngelEyes GnomeSlice talks about using Photoshop, Arda objects to the way that he uses Photoshop, argument ensues, GnomeSlice suspends himself.
 
@FallenAngelEyes I'd forgot about that.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Not really. They just debated, if my memory serves correctly.
 
@Mana hurgh :(
Whoa flag spam
 
6:20 PM
Jesus guys, if you want us to remove the messages just tell us, no need to flag seven things at once
 
@ArdaXi I didn't because it necessitated me leaving the chat for hours at a time until it was over
 
@ArdaXi There have been complaints you haven't heard.
 
@GraceNote They got personal sometimes, but in a more civil, uh, passive-aggressive manner.
 
Arda refused to believe that you can't resize text effects proportionately to the text. I assume because Gnome said it.
 
@badp That rather defeats the purpose of a complaint donnit?
 
6:21 PM
shrugs
 
@badp And as Arda mentioned, he wishes that people would tell him these things. Which I think is a valid point.
 
It's not my place to turn private communication to the public
 
@badp That's rather counter-productive.
 
It's not so much turning private communication to the public so much as it is simply telling someone without naming anybody else that their actions are having this effect.
 
If someone has problems with me they don't voice, as far as I'm concerned they don't have any problems.
 
6:23 PM
Or telling the reporter to confront the person if possible so that they can inform the user that there is a problem.
 
@Arda Quick question, how many moose have you seen?
 
I've seen ten meese!
 
@ArdaXi Maybe because of your penchant for getting involved in debates, people feel uncomfortable approaching you about it for fear that that too will turn into a debate
 
@RonanForman I presume you mean deer? Not that many, but I've seen a few, and I've seen what they can do with a car.
@FallenAngelEyes Be that as it may, you can hardly blame me for not entertaining complaints I don't know of.
 
This wouldn't be the first time that Arda has announced "If you want me to stop, just tell me"
 
6:25 PM
@ArdaXi I'm not, I'm just suggesting a possibility why some people may turn to talking to mods instead of taking a direct approach
 
I believe I did say "Then shut up" to Arda about 5 minutes before the argument.
 
@RonanForman that's not exactly the most... tactful way to go about stuff >_>;
 
@RonanForman Yes. If you're going to patronize me like that I'm going to defend myself.
 
You didn't say a word about it until gnome said it!
 
@RonanForman You can keep repeating that, it doesn't make your conclusion any more true.
 
6:27 PM
Anyway, dinnertime and afk.
 
I've had similar discussions with badp for example.
 
Guys, we have enough conflict trying to prove ourselves to Jeff and other higher ups, let's not tear each other apart at the seams.
 
You haven't come up with a counter argument so I assume one doesn't exist.
 
39 secs ago, by Arda Xi
I've had similar discussions with badp for example.
 
Let's just calm down.
 
6:29 PM
@RonanForman I mean... 39 seconds. You wouldn't even have had to look up more than one message.
 
@Fallen good point. Can we have an argument room disasociated with the site to move this too.
 
I'd rather not, no, since I don't think this argument is going anywhere but downhill.
 
@Arda Were those the ones where you complained to me over steam after or were they with ivo?
 
@RonanForman That latter incident is the only one I ever actually took personally.
 
If this is going to continue, there's a side room for now.
 
6:32 PM
@Mana I feel as though people think I'm just debating for the sake of debating. I do plenty of that in real life.
 
@ArdaXi ... are you trying to diffuse conflict or stir another one up here?
 
@Caleb I'm just defending myself from false claims.
 
@ArdaXi A lot of people tend to take regular arguments personally and can't dissociate themselves from the subject like you can. Just try to keep that in mind?
 
Anyway I have to do homework. I'd love continue but nevermind.
 
Other room. I don't want to have to timeout this place.
 
6:33 PM
I'd prefer to stop than to continue just for the sake of continuing.
 
So would I
 
Old school interjection time!
 
@ArdaXi Good plan.

@ArdaXi I see people write it as cannae as well but I always say it as canna
 
I have written cannae here and there, as it were. I have no idea how to pronounce it, though.
@ArdaXi Like a social sponge I'm prone to randomly spurting horrendously bad accents without provocation.
 
@GraceNote I suck at doing accents unless I'm talking to somebody with one.

Wow. There's a Wikipedia article on everything.
T-glottalization is a process that occurs for many English speakers, that causes the phoneme to be pronounced as the glottal stop in certain positions. This is an instance of the more general phonetic phenomenon (also found in other, unrelated languages throughout the world) called glottalization. Apparently, glottal reinforcement, which is quite common in English, is a stage preceding full replacement of the stop, and indeed, reinforcement and replacement can be in free variation. The earliest mentions of the process are in Scotland during the 19th century, when Henry Sweet commented o...

Q: What Order are the '5-days' Games Meant to be Played In?

Lost in MysteryThe 5 Days game series from Fully Ramblomatic are titled pretty ambiguously.

@GraceNote I don't even notice it any more.

Q: TF2 Achievement Advisor - is there a way to know which achievement to go for next?

David FreitasIs there an Achievement Advisor that tells me which achievements I should go for next in Team Fortress 2? e.g. the easiest one or the one that that will give me my next milestone. A similar service for Item Crafting advising is tf2crafting.info

 
I can half understand it by pretending it's Spanish
I... uh... don't know about policy. Let me double check on that for you.
 
@GraceNote I do the same thing with Spanish/Italian, by pretending it's French.
 
Okay, so my mom and I were just browsing some games earlier, and I've realized the best way to subtitle the sequel of any of my future projects. "Now with bears!"
 
@GraceNote Well, not any. Only the ones where you add bears.
Otherwise that's just false advertising.
 
7:22 PM
Obviously, I just need to add bears.
 
A formidable sequel to any good game.
 
And other stuff, of course, but bears would be necessary for the subtitle.

Well, I don't mind, but I can imagine other people who might.

So, I scanned the receipts and emailed them to Brett, although I understand I'll only be reimbursed for the cost for the standard edition.
 
Does that mean I have to buy a motion +
 
@RonanForman No idea. I was concerned that, if I got it through Amazon, it wouldn't arrive before the US 4-day holiday weekend.
So, I preordered it locally. :O

The developers of Skyrim.
 
that's just because of some legal stuff though
 
@FallenAngelEyes Is that you?
 
violence towards children is Badâ„¢
 
@John The flags have been delt with, everything's fine now.
 
@RonanForman I figured. My point is, if that's the case, I shouldn't still have notifications for them.

@John Oh! No, I can't knit worth a damn. Friend of mine linked it to me from a random image site.

My hair is much longer and less blue
also I'm not white
