Q: AMD Graphics Driver Weird Frame Drop and Update Issue

RenatoFirst of all, brace yourselves, this is going to be a long post. I have last year bought an HP dv7 Pavillion notebook but due to personal problems I was not able to get my hands on it up until last year's December. It's an i5, has a ATI Radeon HD Mobility 5650 graphics card and 6GB RAM. Now, th...

 
@spugsley you should have asked "Can I permanently kill important people?"
 
Well @GnomeSlice will be happy, I managed to get DoF to work.
 
@OrigamiRobot If we are gonna go there, I should have asked, "What romance options are there?"
 
@GamingnotonGaming That is not a long post.

Q: How do I start the Mage faction quest line?

SternoI've managed to get to about level 30 in Kingdoms of Amalur without ever bumping into the mage faction quest line, though I've seen mention elsewhere that such a thing exists. Where do I need to go and who do I need to talk to for this quest chain to begin?

 
7:07 PM
I braced myself for nothing.
 
@RavenDreamer Have at it!
 
@spugsley Is there any romance mechanic?
 
@OrigamiRobot not as far as I can tell
but still, that's an instant win for anything.
if it doesn't get closed first lol
 
@spugsley It's not too late!
 
@RavenDreamer haha it definitely is.
@RavenDreamer also, that'd be a cheap shot
 
7:11 PM
@RavenDreamer I have mixed emotions about it. I think it's got some deep flaws.
 
also, I don't want to be known as "that girl who asks questions about boning all the time"

@spugsley That's going to get starred.
 
@JasonBerkan it might not :)
damn nm
 
@spugsley Don't we already have that as your card on the Magic thread?
 
yeah but @IanPugsley made it sound a lot more polite :)
 
7:14 PM
@spugsley It's too late.
Gr. See? This is what happens. @GraceNote ninja's me when I'm looking up the thread.
 
again, much more polite. lol
 
@RavenDreamer Well, it is in my name.
 
@GraceNote I fail to see the "Ninja" in...
 
Oh hey! I guest star in the new blog! =D
 
...That's your point, isn't it?
u_u
 
7:23 PM
There are two ways to look at this, @Raven.
 
@GraceNote The opposite of n_n
Brother of ಠ_ರೃ
 
Either you accept that you made a fool of yourself into thinking you could spot a ninja or you reckon that I'm referring to a different name which you wouldn't be able to locate anyway.
 
2 mins ago, by Raven Dreamer
...That's your point, isn't it?
Way ahead of you.
 
@GraceNote I just assume you're confusing me. That's my default assumption whenever I read something you've written. "GraceNote post. Must be confusing..." :P
 
@RavenDreamer For once.
 
7:27 PM
@agent86 TLDR: I cannot dispprove whether or not he has a ninja in his name.
 
Everything @GraceNote does makes sense. Even the things that are contradictory.
@spugsley Don't lie.

Q: Where is the hidden key in Dino Domain?

Ashley NunnI have finished most of Dino Domain, but I haven't found the key to the locked door in Dino Domain. What track is the key hidden on? Where on the track do I need to look?

Q: How do I start the Mage faction quest line?

Finding oneself in contradiction to @GraceNote is the same as finding oneself in contradiction to the universe.
 
@OrigamiRobot don't lie about what?
 
@spugsley press the arrow on the left to follow his @statement back
 
7:28 PM
@spugsley He's saying you do want to be known as the "girl who asks questions about boning."
 
@spugsley Click the little arrow in front. I know you know how to use replies. :P
 
yes, yes I know. I just wanted to make him type the word 'boning'
 
@spugsley In that case, you should have pinged @GnomeSlice.
 
well played
 
@spugsley I'm not sure I would describe the bridge as a chatroom that needs more boning. :P
2
 
7:31 PM
@GraceNote I'm evolving.
 
@agent86 speak for yourself :p
joking joking
a million times joking. Please don't star that
 
@agent86 I think it could stand to gain a bit more. Only in the proper context though.
 
Into that?
 
Spugs is evolving into the next gnomeslice, at the rate these stars are going.

@RavenDreamer She's not suspended nearly enough for that.
 
7:33 PM
You just got on her bad side. (As though you weren't already from KoA)
 
@RavenDreamer oh god. Say it isn't so
 
perhaps we should change the subject now :)
 
@Tristan She would be if she swore in here as much as she does IRL.
 
I've hooked two more people on G.SE
 
@OrigamiRobot I know how to control myself!
 
7:35 PM
now I'm teaching them how to write better answers :)
 
@agent86 89 and 90
 
@OrigamiRobot GARCHOMP
 
@agent86 Was it my epic screenshots in your review?
 
@Tristan we can't discount this as a factor.
 
@agent86 We can't handle any more agent**'s. There will be no questions left to answer for the rest of us!
 
7:36 PM
@Sterno psh, my answer rate for the last week or so is abysmal :)
I need another semi-popular game that nobody else is going to play!
 
@agent86 That doesn't disprove my point, since about 66% of my total rep came in the last week or so!
 
@Sterno a pretty sizable hunk of mine is from SR3 and MW3
 
Blizz is the best.
 
@Wipqozn You around?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz are you just going to randomly interject that into conversations from now on ;) "sir, that'll be $12.50 at the first window" "wait, I need to tell you something - blizz is the best"
 
7:41 PM
I always get my hopes up when the little blue (1) pops up on my gravatar for something that's been flagged, and I'm always disappointed, because it's never awesome entertaining drama or salacious images or even exciting spam.
@agent86 Only until my Bounty Hunter hits 50 sometime in the next few days.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz then what happens?
will blizz no longer be the best!? :(
 
WTF do they do at Mojang?
 
@OrigamiRobot light cigars with whatever passes for $100 bills in their country?
sneak up behind each other going hisssssssss
 
@agent86 besides that.
 
@agent86 I won't feel the need to remind you all the time.
 
7:43 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz but... I might forget :(
 
@OrigamiRobot Clearly this behavior is important in the decision making process. Minecraft, Minicraft and Blocks That Matter are all good games. AND Notch is giving Double Fine $13,000,000 to make Psychonauts 2 a reality.
 
@Tristan notch kind of backed down from that a bit the other day. it's more like $40m, and he said he was half-joking
 
@Tristan I make all my decisions during strip arm wrestling matches.
 
@agent86 Really? =(
@OrigamiRobot You turn the server offline?
 
7:44 PM
Not anymore.
 
@OrigamiRobot Thanks. My friend David wants to check it out.
 
@Tristan yeah, really.
yesterday, by agent86
bah, notch backs down a bit from bankrolling psychonauts 2
 
WTB new D3 patch
 
@Sterno WTB D3 at all.
 
@agent86 Well, he still says he's fairly interested.
 
7:48 PM
@Tristan yeah, it's not a "no" but it's not as much a done deal as we might have initially thought.

user15026
A MLP cupcake challenge!
 
@AshleyNunn are your cupcake "skillz" of the "mad" variety?
 
user15026
@agent86 I like to think so
 
@AshleyNunn the doooo it!
 
7:50 PM
I would eat a MLP cupcake.
 
worst case scenario, you eat some brightly colored cupcakes.
 
user15026
@agent86 Good point :)
 
@OrigamiRobot I would eat any cupcake.
 
@John Now I want a cupcake.
 
@OrigamiRobot I always want cupcakes.
 
7:53 PM
@OrigamiRobot Now we all want cupcakes.
 
@John I will hold you to that:
 
user15026
Cupcakes for everyone!
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Any cupcake that meets my food standards.
 
@John You don't wanna know how hard it was to come up with a search term that got me that image and not scat.

Q: Do ATB upgrades affect the overall charge time?

Mr. NovemberIn Final Fantasy 13-2, when you choose to upgrade the number of ATB slots you have, does this have any affect on the charge time? Does it remain constant(resulting in a longer amount of time to load the full bar) or does it increase at all?

 
7:54 PM
who's giving out cupcakes??? Waaannnttt
 
@spugsley @AshleyNunn is.
 
@spugsley The dog.
 
user15026
The only problem with entering is that I don't know how to make just 1 or 2 cupcakes
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I have an idea
 
user15026
so i will likely have at least a dozen
 
user15026
7:55 PM
and then I don't know what to do with them
 
@AshleyNunn ummm one or two cupcakes is a travesty. There must always be at least 50.
 
@RonanForman DoF?
 
@OrigamiRobot Nope.
 
When @spugsley eats cupcakes, she gets very loopy.
 
I tune out on Mojang eating pizza
I tune in on Mojang eating... chinese?
 
7:57 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz 5th row on the image search.
 
@badp oh man. They're eating pizza? LINK LINK LINK.
 
@AshleyNunn I take extra dessert to work, personally
 
@OrigamiRobot I see it, (Though it's actually page 3 for me), but that isn't the search term I used.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz They were, but for lunch.
They're having dinner now
 
And I tried several other less succesful ones first.
 
7:58 PM
@OrigamiRobot You should be ashamed of yourself. Cupcake addiction is a disease. It's nothing to joke about.
 
@spugsley :(
2
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm saying it isn't hard :P
 
They weren't using knives and forks if that's what you were wondering. I don't know what pizzas they did have tnough
 
Wow...I thought people had forgotten about that...
 
@OrigamiRobot It was hard for me considering I wasn't looking for that particular image, and most of the other terms I used to convey what I was going for resulted in... NSFW images.
 
7:59 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz That makes more sense.
 
bought my kid an elmo balloon. kids love elmo balloons.
 
@John @Wipqozn you would be so proud if you were here.
 
user15026
@agent86 There arent many people in my department and they dont really eat baking when people bring it
 
@OrigamiRobot You make it sound like @Wipqozn's dead.
 
@AshleyNunn Can i have the rest then?
 
user15026
8:02 PM
@agent86 Might send the leftovers in with my wife to work (although I don't know if they'd like MLP cupcakes XD)
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot Hahaha, they'd not survive mailing I don't think. But otherwise? Totally.
 
@AshleyNunn go rent a nondescript van, and put a sign on the side that says "FREE MY LITTLE PONY CUPCAKES" and then drive around to schools in your area. Kids love cupcakes and cartoons, what could possibly go wrong?

user15026
@agent86 I think this plan is the best plan.

Q: Game development gaphic design: Bastion-style

OmegaI am developing a game and I am particularly interested in a Bastion-like mapping style. This is a good shot: http://supergiantgames.com/site/wp-content/uploads/Bastion_092010_00021.jpg I am unsure about how to achieve that. Currently I use both Photoshop and Illustrator. Any ideas?

 
@John He died the day he changed his gravatar to a pony.

8:07 PM
"Raynor mourned the loss of Kerrigan-INSTALLATION COMPLETE" What, you're not going to tell me what happens next?!
 
@OrigamiRobot What about me?
Also, we're off the server.
 
@Tristan You were revived when you showed me the Steampunk GIR shirt.
 
@OrigamiRobot Fair enough.
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot Am I dead? That would be weird.
 
@AshleyNunn Anyone willing to give me cupcakes on demand is OK in my book.
 
user15026
8:16 PM
@OrigamiRobot Hurrah! Saved by cupcakes!
 
@GamingnotonGaming Hrm, is Bastion a really detailed isometric projection?
 
@ArdaXi Basically.
Isometric games best games.
 
Well, there you go then.

Q: How do my abilities level on the command board?

KtashIn Birth By Sleep, when I'm playing on the command board, what actions will level my abilities? Does using it in my hand? Playing it? Opponent landing on it? What causes the level to increase?

 
@LessPop_MoreFizz "Really? I wouldn't have... used that..."
facepalm internet.
"You'd have to be relatively intelligent to realize how stupid you are"
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Has anyone told them of the Hitler Channel? er... History Channel?
Also, I liked the "I'd rather be a Greybeard." bit.
 
9:09 PM
So wtf is this catacomb snatch so far? All I see is a passive-agreessive game of getting in the way of other players
 
John Cleese is amazing.
 
"In order to know how good you are at something requires exactly the same skills as it does to be good at that thing in the first place. Which means, and this is terribly funny, if your absolutly no good at all at something at all, then you lack the exactly skills you need to know that your absolutly no good at somethingthing. And this explains not only Hollywood, but almost the entirety of Fox news." - John Cleese
greatest quote out of the whole thing
 
user30
excellent.
 
Random question, but... does anyone know a good way to average two wav files sample by sample?
I mean, I guess I could dig out mat lab... , but I'd rather not.

I have something to listen to for the next two hours.

Q: Where can I find Mark and Recall?

FambidaI decided to take a break from Skyrim and reinstall Morrowind for the first time in years. Unfortunately I can't remember where to buy the mark and recall spells, and no one I've checked yet has them. Is there anyone who is guaranteed to carry them, is it random, or is it level based?

 
@badp He's transcribing audio
 
So... funny thing, I have dyslexia so am terrible at spelling
 
@badp It's a transcription. How can you even think that?!
 
9:13 PM
no... that was my fault
 
We forgive you.
 
@RavenDreamer How would I know?
 
John Cleese is probably using "yore" just to screw with us.
 
^this
 
@badp @LessPopMoreFizz posted it in here not 30 minutes ago?
 
9:14 PM
@RavenDreamer And I've been having dinner for one hour?
 
It's the only video in recent chat
 
@Pyrodante Eh, it would be a better quote if he weren't just tossing a punchline onto a summary of the dunning kreuger effect.
The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which the unskilled suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes. Actual competence may weaken self-confidence, as competent individuals may falsely assume that others have an equivalent understanding. As Kruger and Dunning conclude, "the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others" (p. 1...
 
yeah but that gives it validity too
 
See also: Ronnie.
 
oddly enough most Americans suffer this in Math
 
9:16 PM
@John I am now.
 
@Pyrodante nah, American's have a different problem. They think being good at math is a matter of identity. "I'm not a math person".
 
we are ranked quite low in math scores but rank number 1 in confidence
 
that's not the same as thinking we're good at math
we are confident that we are bad at math
 
@Pyrodante Netherlands ranks #3 \o/
 
lol
 
9:20 PM
@FallenAngelEyes More incentive to move to Northern Europe!
 
no we think we are the best at everything...
its because we have to calculate in base 12 and not 10 like some other people
:P
 
@RavenDreamer Yeah, but then you'd be in northern europe.
Surrounded by Northern Europeans
shudder.
The only thing worse would be to be surrounded by Southern Europeans I'd imagine.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Better than Southern Americans, no?
 
@FallenAngelEyes #3 in confidence or maths?
 
@badp The latter
 
9:24 PM
@RavenDreamer Meh, at least southern americans know how to make good BBQ.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz That we do.
 
last time I checked I was #1 Dad but I don't think the competition was very fierce.
2
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Luckily there's none of those to go around with
 
@Lazers I remember thinking that morrowind was just SO HUGE when I first played it, and now post-oblivion I'm like "eh, look at morrowind, soooo tiny and cute :D"
whose a good little elder scrolls game? you are!
 
I want someone to build up the morrowind area in Skyrim
 
9:26 PM
@agent86 Morrowind actually takes longer to traverse than Oblivion or Skyrim.
@agent86 Well, until you learn to abuse levitate/boots of blinding speed/magic resist.
 
@agent86 Oblivion, Morrowind, and Skyrim are all built in-scale to each other.
And then there's Daggerfall, which is something like 1000 times bigger than all 3 of those combined.
 
@agent86 I don't know how reliable information from a coffee mug is. :P
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz And skooma.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz hmm, I guess oblivion just felt bigger.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I just abused the broken alchemy system +1,000,000 intelligence FTW
@OrigamiRobot hey, I get all my information from coffee mugs. Did you know the Contents Might Be Hot?
 
@agent86 My coffee cups like to vomit on me while I carry them out to my car. :(
I need new coffee cups, clearly.
 
9:30 PM
@agent86 I don't have first hand experience with Contents, but I have heard whisperings.
 
This is the coffee cup I want:
 
@John Depth of field, so the background is blurry.

Q: Minecraft Realistic Inventory Mod

Jonny BIs there any kind of mod for Minecraft that makes your inventory more realistic? Something that would only allow for a specific amount of each item type. Something like this: Only being able to hold a small amount of tools or only one of each type Limited inventory space (ex: 2 rows of space) ...

 
@Wipqozn I just installed SC2.
@RonanForman Oooh k.
 
9:58 PM
is anyone in here awesome at Photoshop?
 
really depends on your definition of awesome
 
like...could you point me in the direction of a good article/tutorial about shading/blending? I'm having a hard time finding one...
