@Tristan grins Nooothing
 
@John He didn't steal your meme. Clearly his is different. It's an = with a [, while yours is a : with a (
 
@Tristan But...I...it's still... sigh
 
@John ^^^ my experience with Diablo III
 
@RavenDreamer I'm 12 years old and what is this?
 
@RavenDreamer Why... Why is the armor jiggling?
 
3:01 AM
@RavenDreamer And you direct this to me because....?
 
@OrigamiRobot Me testing Photobucket linkage.
 
@RavenDreamer THANK YOU FOR REMOVING THAT.
 
The .gif is too big for IMGUR.
@John Because your comment, despite being for something completely different, fit my views on Diablo III
Quote: "But...I...it's still... sigh"
 
@RavenDreamer Oooooh.
 
3:02 AM
Gotcha.
 
@Tristan Better question: Why did they feel the need to add jigglebones there?
 
@RavenDreamer Preparing for Diablo 4: Extreme Beach Volleyball.
 
@Tristan I'd buy it.
Wait, no I wouldn't.
I hate blatant fanservice.

@RavenDreamer Sadly, I did buy DOA Xtreme Beach Volleyball... Biggest waste of money ever.
 
@RavenDreamer I agree with you 320%
 
3:04 AM
@Tristan ...
 
I am okay with sexy lady clothes. I am less okay with sexy lady clothes which are sexy lady clothes for the sake of being sexy lady clothes.
I think I... words.
Brain melting.
 
@Tristan whatever the opposite of starring something is, that is my response here
 
@IanPugsley I was a fan of the DOA series, and was expecting something from the game. It was traded in within two days, if it's any consolation.
 
@RavenDreamer we are talking about a series that included the possibly-all-body-paint amazon and a topless boss in their second game
 
@IanPugsley A topless 4-armed boss, no less.
She was topless because they don't make bras for women with 4 arms.
 
3:06 AM
@IanPugsley I don't take offense to the armor in this case.
I take offense that someone looked at the barbarian and said:
 
@Tristan What about Sheeva from MK?
 
"You know what's missing?"
"Jiggling."
To hell with using the animators for something more meaningful. Diablo III needs accurate breast physics!
 
@OrigamiRobot If by Sheeva from MK, you meen Andariel from Diablo 2: Electric Boogaloo.
 
Pfft, I will see your 4 arms, and raise you 6:
^ I tanked that boss. At level. As a Rogue.
/flex
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Was that BT?
 
3:08 AM
@LessPopMoreFizz Call me back when you tanked a Gruul 5 man.
Zzzzz.
 
@RavenDreamer I did.
 
( :P )
 
@Tristan Yes.
@RavenDreamer I tanked most of a full BT clear as a rogue.
It was pretty baller.
But my threat was shit.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh yea? Well, I stole candy from like 15 babies in a row!
 
Note to self: Smilies as parenthetical asides does not work.
 
3:09 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I tanked the Horseman in Kara as a rogue...
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz And no taunt
 
@Tristan I solo'd Kara as a rogue.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz At level 70?
 
(that was at 80.)
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Thought so.
 
3:11 AM
@Tristan Still impressive! Rogues were the worst class for soloing old content in wrath.
By an order of magnitude.
 
Yeah, no lifesteal.
DK's had it easy.
Especially before Cata.
 
@RavenDreamer And no ability to kite.
 
(Solo'd AQ 40 as a level 80 DK)
I did Solo Kara's Chess Event, once!
Got a shield. GFG.
 
Yeah, cata and Recuperate changed everything.
@RavenDreamer I solo'd Nightbane and Prince. /flex.
Also solo'd Magtheridon.
 
Hm. AskUbuntu has a "ronnie" also.
Not quite the same, but you get the point.
 
3:17 AM
@John I like how he went and got 1 helpful flag after someone called him out on not having anything.
 
@John not pro enough :P
 
user15026
@Tristan Oh, he's -helping-.
 
@Tristan Heh, I didn't noticed that.
@IanPugsley Yeah! Our trolls are better than their trolls! :P

Q: What is the default Critical Strike chance?

OrigamiRobotThere are lots of ways to increase the chance of a Critical Strike, but how do I know what the default is? Is it the same for all characters?

 
@Lazers So slooooooooow
 
@OrigamiRobot It's been answered.
 
Man, Diablo 3 deleted all my friends
 
@OrigamiRobot Because it knows you have no friends.
 
@Tristan Yeah, now I don't. It deleted them.
 
3:35 AM
@OrigamiRobot What's the saying? "Art imitates life," I believe?
 
@Tristan I'm glad you think of me as "alive"
 
@OrigamiRobot Side note... When the questions aren't handled by @Lazers they get posted quicker. It's been in Summoner's Rift for close to half an hour now.
 
@Tristan I noticed.
 
Seriously though... What's the story behind the new room description?
 
There was some kind of panic earlier.
 
3:39 AM
@Tristan Maybe someone tried to use regex to parse HTML
 
@murgatroid99 I have no idea what anything after "maybe someone tried to use" means.
 
4435
A: RegEx match open tags except XHTML self-contained tags

bobinceYou can't parse [X]HTML with regex. Because HTML can't be parsed by regex. Regex is not a tool that can be used to correctly parse HTML. As I have answered in HTML-and-regex questions here so many times before, the use of regex will not allow you to consume HTML. Regular expressions are a tool th...

 
user15026
@Tristan Me neither. I know it is some sort of in-joke but thats all I got.
 
user15026
@murgatroid99 Oh, right. That.
 
The room description is from the last part of that answer
 
@murgatroid99 I was going to read the whole thing. Then I skipped to the bottom and saw Zalgo, and quit reading.... <.<
 
@Tristan It's a pretty entertaining read
 
@murgatroid99 Zalgo scares me. >.>
 
@Tristan I thought it was just the thing with lots of pointless Unicode diacritics
 
Side note, I think I've become so immune to Monster® Energy Drinks that they now have a reverse effect on me, making me even more tired when I drink them...
 
user15026
3:45 AM
@Tristan That's unfun :(
 
@AshleyNunn Indeed.
 
user15026
Oh, neat - I am getting a package from the States, and thought there was no way to track it (because Canada Post doesn't allow Customs Number tracking) - but USPS does. :D Hurrah. :D (I am waiting on a Doctor Who themed laptop sleeve.)
 
This guy in Spiral Knights wants to trade crowns for TF2 items...
 
@John Do you play TF2 much?
 
@Tristan Not hardly.
 
3:54 AM
@John So... If you have items, sell them to him. =P
 
@Tristan I can't trade TF2 items, I'm not premium.
 
@John Oh. Fair enough.
 
4:14 AM
@AshleyNunn @Tristan I just want to make sure you know this exists.

Q: Can I see the result of my Tribunal judgements?

Nick THow can I see the result of my League of Legends Tribunal judgement? I want to know if I should be judging slightly harsher or much more harshly so my views align with the "community", so I get more +5 IP boosts.

Q: Can I return a game I activated through Steam and bought from Gamefly, and get a refund if I have never downloaded it to my PC?

gameaddictI recently bought a game though Gamefly, and I never actually downloaded the game. Now I would like to get a refund. May I return and get a refund, and if so then how do I go about getting my refund? If not, what other alternatives are there? Such as Steam trading, etc. I just want my money back...

Q: What is the importance of the number nine?

Iszi There are nine holds in Skyrim. There are nine Dragon Priests. There are nine Divines (if you count Talos). There are nine Shadowmarks. Nine is a multiple of three, which is the number of words in a Dragon Shout. Eighteen, the number of skills in the game, is a multiple of nine. 1,320,969,600 is...

Q: Why is Heimskr allowed to continue preaching, if the Empire wins the war?

IsziI've completed the Civil War questline in the Empire's favor in one game. Since then, I've noticed several indicators that Talos worship still hasn't been as thoroughly eradicated as one would have expected. One strong indicator of this is that Heimskr seems to be allowed to continue preaching ...

 
@Lazers Why does everyone seem to think this is not a serious question? I'm really beginning to wonder if the number 9 actually has some significance. I find it very probable that there's some tie-in to Nordic culture or something, which I'm not familiar with.
 
@Iszi It isn't that we don't think it is a serious question. It's that the question isn't constructive to gaming.
 
@OrigamiRobot Migrate to Science Fiction and Fantasy then?
 
It's a neat question that's fun to talk about.
 
@OrigamiRobot I think there's probably a number of other lore-related topics that are discussed on Gaming which fall under similar qualifications.
 
5:16 AM
@Iszi It's a question that will probably generate discussion, which is off-topic.
See the FAQ: "You should only ask practical, answerable questions based on actual problems that you face. Chatty, open-ended questions diminish the usefulness of our site and push other questions off the front page. "
 
It's an objective question with a simple answer, somewhere. I don't think the discussion is the fault of the question.
The answer is either that it is based on some sort of mythology, or some other reason chosen and declared by Bethesda, or that there is no known reason for its prominence.
I could see it being "chatty or open-ended" if I was asking for information that couldn't possibly exist. But I think I've fairly well outlined how, if there is some significance, the answer does exist. I'm not asking for speculation.
 
@Iszi It's not so much that the question might not have an answer (that is also a concern). It's more that the question is not constructive to helping you play the game.
It is a piece of trivia about the game.
 
@OrigamiRobot How is understanding the lore and culture of a world not a part of playing a game set in that world?
I'd flag for it to be shipped off to Science Fiction and Fantasy but I figure it's more on-topic to the crowd here.
 
@Iszi But this question is outside the scope of the plot.

Q: When unlocking the Onion Knight, do already-mastered jobs count towards its job level?

SuperElectricI understand that: The Onion Knight job is unlocked when you've raised both Squire and Chemist to job level 6. The Onion Knight doesn't raise its job level using JP. Rather, for every other job you master, the Onion Knight's job level goes up by one. So my question is: does the Onion Knight a...

Q: How can I get the Steam overlay on Skyrim, if I am using the SKSE.exe to launch the game?

gameaddictI am playing Skyrim modded, and would like to have the Steam overlay in the game, so that I can chat with users and such. I have purchased the game and activated it in Steam, but since I am launching through SKSE.exe, I cannot launch it through Steam. Or, is there a way to do this? Thanks!

Q: Is there really a power tunic in the SNES Final Fantasy 2?

AnonIs there really a "power tunic" in the SNES Final Fantasy 2? The instruction manual lists this as an item, but I can't find it.

Q: "Why did They design it that way, anyway?", and why do we allow or disallow these?

Grace NoteWe get an unusually large number of questions along this line. This question comes up because of this recent closure. I'm bringing it up because our handling of this is... inconsistent. This question is roughly identical in nature to the above, except it's not downvoted at all (possibly due to b...

tip: If you like your horses to stay alive, don't fast-travel to Bard's Leap Summit.
 
@Iszi tip: If you like your horses to stay alive, don't ride horses.
 
@IanPugsley Shadowmere is pretty durable.
But, he didn't survive the fall either.
 
@IanPugsley Imma tell @spugsley you're staying up too late.
 
@OrigamiRobot NO U
 
He survived the jump into the pool, sure. But the subsequent battle with a Forsworn that led him to fall off a ledge, not so much.
I'm pretty sure no horse in Tamriel could survive more than 15 minutes under my wife's control, though.
 
6:03 AM
Bethesda needs to reply to my e-mail already.
 
@Tristan They need to do a lot of things. What's this about?
 
@Iszi I e-mailed them directly about the significance of the number nine, since they had a "Contact us" specifically for game questions. =P
 
@Tristan Seriously? Hehe.

@Lazers Any ideas on which of the tags we should keep?
 
6:35 AM
@murgatroid99 Keep qube and tech-issues, I'd say.
 
@Tristan I meant vs
the second one is more annoying to type, but that is technically the name of the game
 
@murgatroid99 Well, only has 1 question... Which is the one @Lazers just posted. I say keep
 
@murgatroid99 synonym req
 
@OrigamiRobot Oh right. Of course. I'm tired
 
@murgatroid99 understandable
 
6:38 AM
@OrigamiRobot Which way do you think it should go?
 
@murgatroid99 q.u.b.e. is the proper name for the game?
 
@OrigamiRobot Yes

@Hack Try asking that on the main site.

@HackToHell All I know is, not the Supra.
I'm not the best driver, but that car is pretty much the slowest accelerating one. You'll basically start all races in last position, even if you're at the front. Even if you have a perfect start. Oh, and it's real stiff. It's that heart-breakingly bad.
Criticize my driving all you want, up to 1:30 it's all a matter of fucking driving in a straight line.
I flunked the turn at 1:55 but then again everybody there did if you pay attention.
Does it matter the others flunked the turn? No. Because I have the Supra. And it's so sloooow.

Q: Cheap desktop PC to play Battlefield 3?

powtacI do have a laptop but it is too old to upgrade to play Battlefield 3 and I use this machine for work. What would be a cheap solution for a desktop PC to play Battlefield 3 at (very) good conditions?

 
room topic changed to The Bridge: of the SEI AskQuestion Mothership, wherein we discuss Zeta Epsilon Radiations from Space, their Light Amplification capabilities, the charging of such systems, their vast applications in Diamond Making and whatever else strikes our fancy. [moderator-elections-2012]
 
@badp I'd be okay with your spelling of lazers if it was actually zeta emissions from space rather that stimulated emissions as the picture shows.
 
@RonanForman Turns out they look pretty much the same, if you can find a better picture I'd love to see it
and use it, obviously
 
I can't, find a picture of lazers as they don't exist.
Anyway do we have a time for the town hall chat yet?
 
It's not going to happen before the 7th I think
I mean, you have seen the mail Rebecca sent you, right?
 
2:11 PM
So it's on Tuesday or Wednesday then, that's good.
@badp Yeah, the poll has 12 replies.
 
Yeah, I don't remember seeing an option earlier than the 7th
I might be wrong tho
 
There was one for some of Monday, but I suppose that depends on time zone.
 
Also I'm glad to notice we get to have primaries
 
Why, it's just more chances for me to lose.
 
Because it means we have many people who care about the site.
Even if we've lost candidates such as Mana, Raven (who got elected), Anna (who got employed), Ivo (who gave up) etc. we've acquired newer users to "replace" them.
Also, Oak.
 
2:18 PM
I just realise, there are some candidates that only turned up here after the election started. cough Mark cough
 
I have to notice that Mark Trapp has 17k reputation
He might not be active on this chatroom, but...
Okay, Tom is a 10ker as well
 
It's not hard to get loads of rep if you play the right games, around the time minecraft gets an update I get a bunch of rep from a single answer.
 
Oh, I know. 17k is still very respectable.
"10th user by reputation" respectable
 
I'm not saying it isn't, but rep isn't the most important factor for being a mod, otherwise there would be 30 people who would be better mods that Juan.
Also he clearly thinks it's important otherwise he wouldn't be turning now he's a candidate.
 
@badp And over 500 flags
 
2:29 PM
I know, I just think it's odd when people change their behaviour during election season.
 
3:06 PM
Mark is around more than just election time.
He just doesn't pop in chat very often.
Just to get my 2 cents in there after the conversation has ended 30 minutes ago.
 
I've basically stopped generating rep.
 
@GnomeSlice Too busy asking how to beat up bikes on other sites? :P

Whatever. It's about time I stopped acting like the resident drunk, anyway.
 
I'd try doing that before begin moderator.
 
Would you like me to withdraw?
 
No, that's entirely up to you. I don't think anyone should withdraw, people should vote for who they want, not who's left.
I doubt I'll get mod, but that doesn't stop me from nominating/not withdrawing.
 
3:48 PM
@GnomeSlice we have noticed you dropped the garbage on meta and the silly tagging.
Appreciated.

@RonanForman Why would you want to do that, then?
 
For long.
@gnome because I like drawing.
 
@RonanForman So why not draw something you are a fan of?
 
user15026
@RonanForman That strikes me as good of a reason as any ;)
 
3:58 PM
@RonanForman then you don't want to fraw yourself as a pony! It's basically like drawing yourself, but without fingers. So it's less drawing!
