@badp Look what you've done!
 
lolno
 
Trolololo.
 
@Wipqozn I hate you.
 
that's cruel.

Q: about the consistency of league of legends

Ebenin AmiI have played DotA. But it catch my eye that DotA is too unconsistent game because of it has been progressing too unbalanced. For example, intelligence heroes have been losing their effects in the late game. Unless the damage is done, you had no effect on game for changing the game's destiny. The...

Q: Is there a way to keep a clock ticking with no players logged into SMP?

YamikuronueI'm planning to build a clock tower for my SMP server; however, it's occurred to me that my plans have a gaping flaw: when nobody's online, the redstone clock won't keep time. I'm using vanilla, so Bukkit mods to keep chunks loaded won't work. Is it possible to use a different clock to count off ...

 
7:01 PM
 
In all honesty @john, I would never actually promote anyone to a room owner. I wouldn't feel it was my place to.
 
I think there are enough people around.
 
@Wipqozn It could be worse, you could promote Arda to room owner. Whoops, @badp already did that!
 
@Powerlord true!
 
@agent86 If you think an ITG is too vague or otherwise just doesn't have enough information, vote to close it and/or bring it up.
 
7:02 PM
Also, @john, I think that was my best troll of you yet.
 
@badp Didn't you promote @Wipqozn to owner to troll @ArdaXi? Because he's an owner now too.
 
No, to troll @gnome
 
@RonanForman aw, can't watch, don't want spoilers
 
trolling @arda was just a bonus
 
@RonanForman I added Arda
 
7:03 PM
@Wipqozn That troll earns you two of these:

It wont let me post 2.
 
@Lazers This... is not a very constructive question and barely a question at all...
 
How about now?
 
Also, I need to go look at a car... my old one finally crapped out at me, so need anew one. Be back at some point.

someone is adding a pumpkin-soup tag to all the pumpkin soup questions from skyward. >.<

My best troll of all time though was when @gnomeslice was banned, and he was bragging about this good time he get in a challenge map in bionic commando rearmed (in facebook), and I then posted the image here and took credit for it.
and now I really need to go
 
user15026
correct me if I am wrong, but there is no need for that tag, correct?
 
@AshleyNunn No, there is not

That's what I thought. Going to edit them out, then
 
@GraceNote that's what I did.

Q: How do I cure Sanguinare Vampiris?

Q: I'm a Stage 4 Vampire and can't talk to the guy who can give me the cure

C-Pound GuruI'm a stage 4 vampire, so everyone (except guards) attack me on sight. That includes Falion in Morthal. How can I get this guy to calm down long enough to give me the details on how to get rid of vampirism? Note: becoming a werewolf is no longer an option.

Q: Vampire annoyance

Asael CamposI recently took on some vampires and was somehow infected. I've been having problems in towns because of this. People keep attacking me even though I'm not causing any trouble. How do I reverse the effects and return to normal estate?

 
@OrigamiRobot Those look like, while related, separate questions.
 
@Lazers becuase of this
@GraceNote they are separate questions that can be covered by the same answer
 
You could talk to LessPop and see if he'd consider merging the "Feed to get to Stage 1, if you're at Stage 4 and Falion won't talk to you" point into the first answer.
 
7:27 PM
I really just don't know which to select when voting to close this new question
 
@OrigamiRobot You could always pick one and suggest both in the comment.
 
@GraceNote that's what I was getting at
The stage 4 question is easily a subset of the general question
 
But is it necessary for it to be a subset?
Or more importantly, does it serve our readers better if it is kept separate?
 
first, I think "How do I cure Sanguinare Vampiris?" would serve out readers better if it was "How do I cure Vampirism?"
and I think anyone in the stage 4 predicament will find their way to the general question
 
Fun fact, the Sapper is the only item in TF2 that doesn't have an item definition index.
 
7:35 PM
@OrigamiRobot As long as this is a case, a merger seems reasonable. I suggest checking with @LessPop to see what he can contribute to aid in the merge.
 
@Powerlord I'm trying to have fun with this fact and I am failing :(
 
@agent86 Well, that fact actually prevents you from having fun with Sappers using the TF2Items extension. :/
 
@GraceNote the answer to the new question is also quite good and covers both situations

A: Vampire annoyance

George StockerThere is a great walkthrough on how to cure Vampirism on Gamefront. Here's the list, distilled: If you’ve contracted the disease, you won’t become a vampire for three days. Until then, you can get rid of the disease with any common disease-curing potion. You can also use the Shrine to Talos ou...

 
@OrigamiRobot Oh. Great. Wonderful.
 
For whatever reason, everything else, including the Engineer's build panel, destroy panel, and the toolbox he carries around while placing/hauling buildings have their own item indexes.
 
7:37 PM
@Powerlord doh, so it's an anti-fun fact :O
 
obviously. Snow + double offense + bomb thingy hit not particularly well = 75 damage taken in one hit
 
@GraceNote a quandary Liz Lemon, a quandary
 
aka savescumming
 
@John @Wipqozn @RonanForman No, it uses my name, not the Gaming.SE name.
I have my facebook pages set up so that I can toggle between them.
If you select 'use facebook as gaming' it will say 'Michael Dunfield' likes this.
 
@badp I savescumm all the time in roguelikes. I'm a cheater that way
 
7:42 PM
Is Recettear a roguelike?
It doesn't even have permafailure
 
@badp didn't know what game you were talking about. I was just making an observation. It's got some roguelike qualities.
 
@GnomeSlice Something's up with that for me, regardless of which option I use it always makes me like things as gaming.
 
@badp @GraceNote is the Recettear expert.
 
@RonanForman You need to change your page settings.
 
@agent86 Certainly.
 
7:44 PM
It's somewhere in your Facebook preferences. I set mine up so that it wouldn't default to the page account.
 
@badp A roguelike doesn't have to have every feature.
I would call Torchlight a roguelike even though it isn't turn-based.
 
@badp since it's lacking in the turn based combat, I'd probably say no to classifying it as a roguelike. more along the lines of an action RPG coupled with a simulation game
 
@badp Not all roguelikes have final death
This is even in the whole "What is a roguelike?" question we have.
 
@GraceNote I was hoping we'd never have to go back to that again.
 
I wouldn't call Racketeer a roguelike though.
 
7:45 PM
surprisingly, one of my favorite roguelikes is some cheesy kids chocobo dungeon game on the wii
 
It's not turn-based, though, and that's really the main reason I would not call it a roguelike.
 
another bomb, another death :/
 
It's an action game with randomized dungeons.
@GnomeSlice ...eh?
 
Isn't that the question that had the huge comment argument?
Maybe that was something else.

Q: BF3: Leveling scout helicopters - how best?

YatrixDo I only get points for kills from my passengers or is there something else I can do?

 
7:47 PM
@GnomeSlice badp and I had a quick talk of, like, 4 messages
 
@agent86 Chocobo's Dungeon is the actual game name... well, it probably has "Final Fantasy" in it somewhere, too, but...
 
I must be thinking of a different one then.
 
@Powerlord yeah, SquareEnix Presents Final Fantasy Chocobo Dungeon XIII-2 Super Mega International Edition+
now with a soundtrack CD!!!
 
I probably have to start accepting the fact the amber garden might be out of depth for a l15 Louie
 
@agent86 i love that game!
 
7:57 PM
@Blem you haven't played it until you've played the remastered directors cut collectors edition with the HD graphics.
the chocobo's soulless eyes are so much more haunting in 1080p
 
:D
 
and the fold out cloth maps of all the possible dungeons are voluminous, to say the least. I had trouble storing the near-infinitely large sheet.
 
Is this question irrelevant now?

Q: How can I play multiplayer against creeps on Minecraft SMP servers?

FreshCodeI purchased Minecraft yesterday and from what I've read, I understand that there are survival multiplayer servers, but so far none have any survival elements. Most have day/night cycles, but you can't lose health and no creeps spawn. How can I play multiplayer against creeps? Update: I found th...

 
Dammit. I told FlatOut 2 to run at a lower resolution to see how it ran, and now when I run it it doesn't give me the setup window any more. I want to increase it.
 
@GnomeSlice I see that Michael Dunfield and GSE like that post.
 
8:06 PM
@John I only liked it as me. That was probably @Ronan.
 
@GnomeSlice Quite possibly, as he seems to be the only one around with an identity crisis.
 
@badp How many levels are you charging through?
 
1-5
I have just succeeded, however. That boss was perhaps the weakest so far
 
@RonanForman I've linked more than half of that in chat before and nobody gave a shit.
 
8:13 PM
But this time they're freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
And I said it.
 
They were free when I linked them.
I mean, I've linked over half of those games in here.
Wasn't aware Stealth Bastard or A Flipping Good Time had been released yet though.
 
@badp Yeah, L15 Louie should be fine, considering a fresh Charme is fine there.
 
@GnomeSlice patpats You're such a hipster
 
@FallenAngelEyes No. I wouldn't have posted it if I didn't want people to take interest in it.
 
@RonanForman I'm so glad someone finally posted something like this. You sir, are a god among men.
 
8:18 PM
@agent86 Go to hell.
 
Pissing off @GnomeSlice, past-time of kings since 2010
 
Seriously, SMD.
 
@GnomeSlice you're just experiencing the two sides of the agent86 link-to-the-past paradox: nothing good posted for the first time ever garners notice, and if you post something clever everyone's already seen it.
everything old is new, and everything new is old
I really need to remember to play stealth bastard. I keep meaning to...
 
@RavenDreamer So, um, apparently my graphics driver is unsuitable for your game. Do you have a recommendation? (Currently trying to make it work on Vista, btw)
 
8:31 PM
The one thing I know about stealth bastard is who made it
the game is pretty much hung there
 
s.tk/ux finally launched.
 
When trying to figure out which gaming chat room to join (first time chatter here), I find The Bridge's description both confusing and a bit frightening. A unicorn hug sounds painful.

@Sterno Blame @badp. We all do!
 
I'm still trying to find something to replace the pants I'm not wearing
 
@Sterno that's not the only thing in this room you will find confusing and frightening. Get used to those emotions; they're signs you're still at least a little sane.
 
8:46 PM
@Sterno Welcome to the chat! :D
Have fun here. :3
 
:3= Is a better walrus.
 
Welcome to the Bridge, @Sterno! Please enjoy your time with us. ♪
 
I think you'll find it's enjoyâ„¢
 
@GraceNote if we fail to enjoy our time with us, is there a penalty? will I get a bill in the mail for "unenjoyed time used" like "anytime minutes" on a cell phone?
 
@agent86 I'll just handle the situation ♪
 
8:53 PM
That quaver is getting more menacing every time you use it.
 
@GraceNote this sounds serious. does it hurt?
@RonanForman it's got a pointy barb on one end and a big 'ol club on the other. I don't get how it could be anything but menacing.

Q: What are the uses of secondary stats?

RobotsushiThere is a second set of stats in SWTOR. Things like surge and power. Where can I find a list of these and what they are for? I think healers use power primarily however I have no official way to confirm that. How do you know what secondary stats are most useful to each class and spec?

Q: A good tactic for mining hellstone?

Duccio Shinichi MondanelliI'm wondering if there's a good tactic for mining hellstone. Since I have full Shadow armor, and still I get killed damn easily by mobs in Underworld, is there something I'm missing? Should I get some special equipment?

 
user15026
This sums up how I feel about Fi.
 
8:58 PM
@AshleyNunn My brother was complaining about the same thing to me the other day
 
user15026
@Mana It drives me nuts. YES, I know I am almost out of hearts. YES I know I should find some. If could have some, I would have them already!
 
@Lazers Um, isn't this a dupe?
 
@AshleyNunn Hah, I just read that this morning. Didn't know anyone else who read that strip
 
Either that or Lazers is posting old questions.
 
user15026
@GraceNote I discovered it a few weeks ago, and love it. Read the whole archive in one lovely evening.
 
9:00 PM
@Lazers could have sworn hellstone mining was on here somewhere, but damned if I could find it.
 
@AshleyNunn It was introduced to me shortly before a wedding I attended. Now it's a regular visit.
@Powerlord There are comments and votes to that effect
 
Why is it always 85%‽
 
user15026
@GraceNote I really like it. It amuses me.
 
@GraceNote Yeah, well, I'm at work. :P
 
user15026
@RonanForman Why not? XD
 
9:01 PM
@Powerlord That's why I told you rather than just let you (not, since you can't) figure it out
 
Speaking of not doing work while at work, I just sent an email to the HLDS_Linux mailing list asking Valve if they'd change the user-initiated nextlevel vote and the automatic end of map vote to separate cvars.
 
@Ashley Not everything can be 85%
 
I want the former enabled and the latter disabled.
 
user15026
@RonanForman I suppose not, but I don't think that it is entirely working with logic or anything...
 
But Valve's like MWAHAHAHA, no, we'll only give you sv_vote_issue_nextlevel_allowed!
 
9:03 PM
Valve are crap supervillans.
 
@RonanForman there's an 85% chance that everything is 85%
it's practically guaranteed
 
@Wipqozn I hate you alot. rimshot
(Just had to get that one in there)
 
@agent That's not how it works.
 
@RonanForman shows what you know! I have a ribbon that says I'm 85% better than everyone at statistics.
 
@agent86 And I know that 85% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
 
9:11 PM
@agent86 You should probably see a doctor about that talking ribbon
 
@John psh. 85% of those 85% are totally bogus. the other 15% of those 85% are randomly correct.
 
The n-value of everything is defiantly above 30, so you can act as if it's a normal distribution, and most things are a 1/2 chance, so the mean p-value is 50% and as the standard deviation can't be above 12% the chance of something being less than 85% is around 34% at the most, but it's more likely to be around 1%
 
@OrigamiRobot Mr. Snuggles the Ribbon is also a doctor. He says that talking ribbons are fine.
@RonanForman I'm glad we completely agree then.
 
@agent86 You mean Dr. Snuggles
he worked hard for that degree
 
@OrigamiRobot he doesn't like it when I call him Doctor. I tried Mister Doctor Snuggles the Ribbon once and he got mad and wouldn't talk to me for like a week
 
9:13 PM
@agent We don't agree, you say 85% i say somewhere between 34% and 0%
 
@RonanForman nods glad you came around to my way of thinking.
 
@agent86 I keep a small box in my pocket that talks to me
it does great impressions of all my friends
 
I have a pill bug named Marcus who tells me whether I should trust people or not, he doesn't like you @agent
 
@RonanForman we call those Rolly-Pollies where i come from
Rolly-Poleys?
hrm...
 
@Origami Is that the Latin term?
 
9:18 PM
@RonanForman probably
 
@RonanForman Foiled again by Marcus?! I'll get you someday, Marcus!!
 
@Origami Is it 85% probably?
 
@RonanForman Signs point to yes
 
hi-fives @John BAM!
 
@Mana hi-fives back
 
9:22 PM
@RonanForman I'm reminded of Minsc and Boo
 
I just posted an answer for a game I've never played. :) All thanks to @Mana. Let's hope it goes well.
 
specifically - "Yes, Boo, I agree. This group could do with a swift kick in the morals."
 
@IanPugsley But... I like my morals....
 
Well, they say you never realize how valuable something is until it is endangered or lost.
 
user15026
Oh, man. Not only did I get the White Tanooki Suit in this level, but I also got the P-Wing. That is Super Mario speak for Ashley, you suck at jumping.
 
9:27 PM
@GraceNote Are you saying morals aren't endangered or lost?
 
@John I think the more explicit statement is in the absence of danger and loss, their value is not observed.
 
I have to go back to college tomorrow. I am a sad panda. A very sad panda indeed.
 
@RonanForman You are older than I thought.
 
@RonanForman College is good time. Enjoy it whilst you can.
 
English college, not American college.
I'm 16.
 
9:41 PM
@RonanForman I don't know the difference.
 
Alright, this is going to sound kind of ridiculous since I'm currently in the chat room, but how do you get to chat? I could have sworn when I was at work earlier the link was in the top right of the main site (by "review", "blog", etc) but now I can't find it.
 
@Sterno Blog replaces it.
@RonanForman So...you go away to high school over there?
 
@John - so you're in the same boat as Grace Note, then.
Hm. Maybe I should ask on GameDev or SO.
