Oh, good you're in here. @ickleislands we might want to prefix tags with the title of the game (or an abbreviation) so as to not get naming conflicts with our tags
I've noticed a few that went in without the prefix of the game (eg resurgence pack)
 
@QAdley dxhr?
 
@QAtash I blame Monday @Wipqozn
 
The ones tagged were me3
 
@QAdley Front page looks awful though; not a good start to the week :/
 
3:08 PM
@Alok Not me!
 
@QAdley well done
 
Alright, got to run to work, just wanted to pop in and remind about tag prefix
Also, we might want to slow our roll (@ickleislands you seem to be most of the edits on the front page)
 
@QAdley Yeah its ickleislands terrorizing FP, but you're egging him on!
 
@Alok I apologise for nothing!
 
@QAdley I think you're a hero.
 
3:12 PM
@Wipqozn I thing you're a tortoise
 
@OrigamiRobot @StrixVaria Sweeping Wind with Cyclone is stupid once you get a high enough critical chance.

Q: Negative pending edits?

QAdleyI made this happen, I'm not sure how:

 
@Lazers Reported on MSO I believe
19
Q: Should it be possible to have a negative number of suggested edits in the queue?

CliveI'm not totally sure this is a bug but I thought it to be unexpected behaviour and I can't find another reference to it here. I've just seen the number of suggested edits shown in the top toolbar go into negative figures: This happened while on the suggested edit queue page, after I had appro...

 
I'm considering as part of my "tag tools" having some sort of "tag edit queue" ability where you can say "kill this tag" and it will space out its destruction over time. I'll have to link into the authentication cookies that SE uses, which could get risky and/or tricky, but we'll see if I can make it work.
I've got a backlog of tools to write already though, so might be a while :P

3:25 PM
I just love that you are like oh hey I could totally try and make this thing happen. :D
 
@agent86 You're overthinking this. This is an afternoon project with selenium.
 
HERE'S MY NUMBER SO CALL ME MAYBE
2
oh my fucking balls. Please. Get out of my head.
 
The business of configuring a script with a tag name is easy, then just set it to run, burning one question a minute over the course of a day
 
Demon song
 
@spugsley Are you alright?
 
user15026
3:27 PM
@spugsley Now it is also in my head, so now we are suffering together? I dont know if it makes it better but there you go. :)
 
@QAdley no. No I'm really not. If I hear this song one more time I am going to gouge out my own eyes and stick a machete through my ear drums
 
@spugsley Which song?
 
user15026
@spugsley Why gouging your eyes?
 
@AshleyNunn because I might as well be deaf and blind at this point
@QAdley Call Me fucking Maybe
 
@spugsley Not heard it, how does it go?
 
user15026
3:29 PM
@spugsley Fair enough, but then no more Diablo?
 
@QAdley youtube
 
@spugsley Yeaaaaah....
 
@QAdley yeah, browser automation would probably make it simpler.
 
@spugsley I dunno, I've been doing fine with what I've got (up until the Oasis)...farming before that seems relatively lucrative at the moment (but still no new bow :()
@agent86 Story of my life man, story of my life..
 
user30
aaaaaaaa
 
user30
 
@TimStone I finally have enough resists to basically roll through Act 2. It'll probably do for Act 3, I just need more DPS and Life on Hit.
 
user30
New TF2 game mode!
 
wat
any meet the pyro?
 
user30
not yet
 
@agent86 I've done a fair amount of stuff with Selenium, I'll have a go at this when I get some spare time

> You read that right (presumably): the long-awaited final Meet the Team short, Meet the Pyro, is dropping in less than three days, and we decided to assemble a massive update to celebrate it.
 
user30
Also Hackney Weekend was incredible.
 
@fbueckert Nice. I upped my resists, but they're still too low (all >= 220) to survive everything unfortunately. Those damn champion/elite snakes, argh.
 
@TimStone You're playing in Americas, right?
 
Aye
 
3:42 PM
I hopped in TF2 last night for the first time in a long time
Had a great time
 
@TimStone We should do some runs; Act 1 or 2 doesn't matter; I understand Act 1 is dropping better loot.
 
I should play some TF2 when I get home.
 
@fbueckert Act 1 is dropping excellent loot. Sold two rings for 200k and 500k yesterday
 
@spugsley See? I haven't found a single thing worth anything in my Act 2 runs.
I'm trying to sell the vast majority of my junk for 25/50K, and it doesn't sell at all.
 
3:45 PM
@fbueckert drop it down to 5 or 10k. It'll sell quick and it'll stop littering your stash or inventory
 
@fbueckert I'm up for that. I'll ping you next time I'm near the game so I can add you (or you can find my BattleTag in that Google doc, I don't remember what it is off-hand)
 
I don't get that comic :(
 
@tiddy The D3 story is a little on the...overblown side.
 
@spugsley What parts of A1? Though I found my first decent legendary there yest., so I planned to try hunting there anyway
 
@Alok the Weeping Hollow and the Forest
 
3:46 PM
@fbueckert: Market is saturated; if you get mainstat/vit/allres then u get big profits - otherwise I sell rares for 2x of the vendor cost :(
 
@fbueckert It's a little bit on the terrible side.
 
goes to do actual work, apparently
 
@TimStone Sounds good!
@Alok You're the one depressing the market! Stop doing that! :P
 
Also, I scrap all lvl 60s unless I can sell them for > 2.2k; exquisite ess costs around that much
 
> Doomsday pits BLU against RED, with only one team getting the honor of transporting a suitcase nuke full of recalled Mann Co. Australium to American monkeynaut Poopy Joe’s rocket, so he can blast off and hunt down Soviet space chimp Vladimir Bananas.
> It's the same spirit of competitive enterprise that stalled the moon landing by three years when Buzz Aldrin suplexed Neil Armstrong into a pile of folding chairs at Astromania '69! Both teams will attempt to get the necessary fuel up a preposterously slow-moving elevator and into Poopy Joe’s Australium-powered rocket to the stars.
Sound like a mixture of Capture the Flag and Payload.
 
3:48 PM
@Alok That's how I'm making the vast majority of my cash right now; salvage and sell essences.
 
@fbueckert You have no idea how much of my stuff doesn't sell; even after cheapo pricing :(
 
@agent86 Work dull, making selenium script, almost there
 
@fbueckert I haven't sold any yet though; still hoping to get a decent recipe sometime ... or else get something nice crafted
 
Go to tag page
Click first question
Delete Tag
Repeat
By setting the delay very low I can burninate hundreds of tags a minute with this.
 
@Alok I had 700+ essences, and had lots of trouble gaining any sort of cash just killing stuff. So, I sold all my essences for ~2000.
 
3:50 PM
So Diablo 3 finality is beating what.... Hardcore Inferno with every class?
Just inferno?
 
@tiddy no, moar loot
 
Yeah but to what end
 
@fbueckert How much processing are you doing lol; I have around 100 or so.
 
@tiddy should loot ever end? I think not
 
@tiddy You never played Diablo, I take it?
 
3:51 PM
I played the first one
 
Diablo has always been about the loot.
 
@tiddy Beat inferno and get all recipes for both artisans; with armor that allows you to tank Diablo :D
 
Thanks Alok
 
@Alok Processing? As in essence generation? Or how much have I sold?
 
As in just getting enough lvl 60 items and salvaging them - but I just realized that I don't always put mine in stash; so I may also have ~ 200+ across chars

Q: What's the deal with the end-game/post-credits/Floors 26-30 of Etrian Odyssey 2?

CptSupermrktI just beat Overlord on Floor 25, then I got a nice wrap up, end credits, and bam, back to title screen. Yet when I look around online I see that the game goes on for another 5 floors and there is a "true" last boss. The game really gives no indication (unless I just missed it) that the player ...

Q: Ways to get faster times Quantum Conundrum?

chcukI'm trying to get the speed times in Quantum Conundrum and can't seem get any faster is there any way to move faster or to skip the speeches to move faster?

 
@Alok I garner tons of essences; the vast majority of the items I find get salvaged. I think I salvaged three full inventories on Saturday off of a single run.
 
Wow - I could do that with hell essences; but I just don't find enough lvl 60 stuff :(
Admittedly I haven't even started properly farming for items yet; hopefully it will get better then
 
@Alok I hammer through Act 2 without much problem; the only things that stop me are elites with three or more of the area denial affixes.
 
Resists?

Q: Cave spider XP farm suggestion (without water)

Saif BechanAm I looking into different designs of cave spider xp farms. Now in all tutorials I come across I hear that this is one of the most unstable to create because of the dimensions of the spider, and the behavior. All the tutorials use water to transport the spiders, and they are having problems. Fo...

 
3:55 PM
~850? I think? Haven't checked in awhile.
 
^ Not?
 
Aha - no wonder; I'm just around 200s or so. @QAdley: approximation imho?
! = not; ~ = approx.
 
@Alok I'm running a melee character; your mileage will vary if you've got a demon hunter or wizard.
 
200s for both wiz & monk :p
gtg now, will report back after I farm for a week :)
 
3:59 PM
@QAdley haha, well, my intent was more that we could "slow burninate" to avoid spamming the front page, although "mass burninate" is another option. Might want to stop in on meta and get community input before any nuclear-grade burninators go off.
 
user15026
@Wipqozn Oh man, I never thought about how you are always the only person wanting anything in any of the shops in any game ever.
 
@AshleyNunn It's like they're there only to cater to your every whim.
 
This works, just need to adjust it a bit, it's just a single burnination at present
 
user15026
@fbueckert Well, duh, of course, because I am so the most important person ever ever
 
@fbueckert 26.5% :P
 
4:04 PM
@OrigamiRobot Definitely more than I have. :P I only have 20%.
 
@Fluttershy :P on your 3rd Pearl :P
 
@James I already have one egg displayed, so it's nice that I'll get to have two on the island. =P
 
@Fluttershy I repeat my :P at you
 
Maybe just mass burnate at a later hour?
 
user15026
So many tongues sticking out here
 
4:06 PM
@AshleyNunn :P
 
Some of you brits and aussies can assist with GREAT VIGOR
 
@OrigamiRobot The reason I mention that is that you have 3 minutes before Belial enrages and fills the screen with his meteors. 6.7 million health / 180 seconds = ~34K DPS. Even with the damage boost from Breath of Heaven, my max DPS is < 16K. And yet, I can kill him.
 
user15026
@spugsley Tongues, tongues everywhere
 
@QAtash its fine I stopped :P
not because I wanted to
 
Ok, my automated script is now burninating exactly one tag per minute.
 
4:11 PM
because I got called into a meeting
 
@QAdley You're burninating a whole tag every minute!? Think of the flood!
 
I am going to ask the REALLY OBVIOUS question here
@ickleislands When re-tagging with DLC name, I think it would be better to prefix it with the game title (or an abbreviation) so there aren't any conflicts in names — QAtash 1 hour ago
 
@fbueckert OK, I'm lightly charring one tag off of one question per minute
 
requiem-for-a-goddess becomes ffx-13-2-requiem-for-a-goddess
"I am not sure if serious"
 
@QAdley There we go. Pretty sure that was what you meant, but that's not what you said. :P
 
4:13 PM
@fbueckert Sorry for the confusion
 
@QAdley No confusion. I'm just deliberately misconstruing what you wrote. :P
 
I am just going to retag the Final Fantasy question as 'dlc' for now
 
I'll spend some time getting my script really solid and then let it run overnight
 
because I'm not going to be the one responsible for changing it to such a retarded tag
 
I'm thinking: Alternate between tags, auto detect when a tag is empty and update wiki (and remove from cycle), auto-detect when the first question on the tag list doesn't have the tag and ignore it
 
4:15 PM
@ThomasMcDonald yep yep.
 
The front page looks good
1m ago QAdley
2m ago QAdley
3m ago QAdley
4m ago QAdley
...
may ramp it down further, this is still a little high
 
I had the whole front page to myself earlier
 
@QAdley Doesn't using a script to do the untagging defeat one of the main arguments against just calling in a mod like @Grace to do the burniation, which is that as you untag you can also do other edits?
 
(which is what I was doing)
 
If we're going to do it this way then you really might as well call, say, @Shog9 in to do it. A few second's work, and much cleaner front page
 
4:18 PM
@YiJiang So far (and I've done hundreds of edits) there's almost none that need further work.
@YiJiang And the whole point of bumping is that bad questions can be made visible and fixed by other people perusing the front page
When the rate is low and it's not a flood, this should work fine. This is a community effort after all :-P
I think a minute is too high, I'll set it to once every 5
That sees dead in 5 hours
 
 
@James See starred list
 
@James 39 minutes late :(

Q: Is Locust Swarm range or melee

MikeIs the Witch Doctor's skill Locust Swarm ranged or melee? Can I hit someone across the screen if my pointer is on them, then the swarm goes to that spot or do I need to be right in front of the target and the target has to get hit with the animation? Also, is there a limited range for the "jump...

Q: Can a sentry prevent a boss from healing while you are out of a fight?

yx.On inferno difficulty, uniques and champions will automatically heal back to full after a certain amount of time if you aren't actively fighting them (10 seconds or so). If I were to drop a sentry before I die, can this keep the boss engaged enough to prevent them from healing up in time for me ...

Q: No Subtle Essence or Fallen Tooth in the Auction House

NachoI'm searching for Subtle Essence at the Auction House, but nobody sells it (or that's what it looks like). Then I tried selling it myself but nobody buys it, I can't even find my own sale. Why is this happening? Is it forbidden by Blizzard? Is it not profitable?

 
4:23 PM
@agent86 @QAdley I just felt it was worth repeating :)
 
@James spoken like a true chatizen. sniff
 
is a tricky one I think - not all of them are invalid and I don't think the tag itself needs deleting, just maintaining
 
@ickleislands The only time that tag could be valid is if someone is asking about dlc itself, like "What is DLC?"
 
wrong
 
That's not a good question... but the only example I can think up off the time top of my head.
 
4:26 PM
the guideline for editing it is 'remove dlc and replace it with the dlc name'

Q: Can Mass Effect 2 Saves and DLC be used on multiple Xboxes with the same Live Profile?

bconneenI have one XBox 360 in my house, and plan to buy a second console for my office (across the country). I'm playing Mass Effect 2 (using Cloud Storage for Saves). I've bought all of the DLC and thus far have done all of my playing on my primary console. I'm trying to determine if I will be able ...

does not relate to specific dlc
 
If a question might have a different answer because of dlc, use

Q: Does downloaded DLC and games transfer from one PS3 to another?

BryceSince I may be switching to another PS3 soon, I was wondering if when you transfer data from one PS3 to another, does that data also include downloaded DLC? I ask because there is some paid DLC along with pre-order DLC and a few downloaded games that I don't want to lose or have to pay for again....

also does not relate to a specific dlc
 
@agent86 Haha, How goes FTL? I didn't get to play too much this weekend.. Got sucked up into the frustrating hype and levels of annoyance that is almost unbearable that is DayZ
 
and thus is valid
 
similar to or
 
4:27 PM
@James well, I learned I'd never made it close to beating the final boss, so I have switched to easy mode. I made a few suggestions on the FTL forum, and I hope they end up implemented :P
 
crashes through an hourlong LoL game
 
@ickleislands Both of those are the use cases I listed for .
 
well no, because the only 'what is DLC' question i've come across thus far was closed as off topic
making the tag invalid
 
@agent86 Haha, Ive still not seen him once, I tend to run out of fuel about 2/3rds the ways across
 
:-O @LessPopMoreFizz How could you?
Granted it was 2 years ago, but still!
 
4:31 PM
@QAdley Dec 2011 was 6 months ago.
 
@StrixVaria Time flies when you're having fun
 
@James I find buying fuel when I have less than 17 or so, and doing as much in each system as I can tends to avoid this problem. I can consistently have fuel, but I tend to get owned by stuff :(
 
Is it worth creating for a handful of questions relating to the n7 weapons pre-order pack?
 
@ickleislands No
 
but still remove dlc ye?
 
4:34 PM
@agent86 ... I do not think I have ever had 17 fuel :(
 
@ickleislands No, this is an appropriate use of , for a dlc that isn't a big enough deal to warrant its own tag
 
kk
oh danger, I just crossed 2000 rep
am I reading right that it means my edits no longer get queued?
 
@ickleislands Yup, be careful
 
initiate panic
 
@James wat! it's easy to get fuel! buy it at stores for 3 scrap! dooooo it! also take it if people surrender and offer you like more than 3-5 of a resource you can use (ie, missiles if you have a launcher)
 
@QAdley Oh nifty. I'm one of the top editors on the site.
Take that @Mana!
 
@Wipqozn I've always found the non-rep leagues interesting
 
@QAdley Same here. I find they give a better idea of activity on the site than reputation.
 
@Wipqozn Community participation
 
I wish -wait, hmm..
 
4:40 PM
does this mean I no longer get rep for edits?
 
@ickleislands Yes
 
Wow, I'm higher than expected!
 
Participation rankings exist on the main site too, but the tab is only visible on meta.
 
Interesting
 
4:41 PM
you're one of the top users on meta.
> Users most active on this site in the last 60 days (combined number of posts, votes, comments and edits).
 
@Wipqozn Unexpected!
 
It's probably due to how many times you've edited the clean-up post, haha
 
@Wipqozn That's probably true
Does SE have a policy on automation? I'm worried I could get into trouble with my script
 
@QAdley I have no idea.
 
I vote a lot apparently

emphasis on the second part :P
 
@agent86 I'm composing an MSO post now
 
kay.
 
Just burnate @ low traffic time
 
@agent86 @QAdley is a nuclear-grade burniantor.
 
and yeah, I'm a bit confused, if we're just eliminating tags completely, and not editing questions at the same time or doing any retagging/decisions whatsoever on them, would it not be better if we employed a moderator for the task?

Q: What are the best laptop screen resolutions for gaming on a PC?

NicolaiThere are a wide variety of resolutions available on different laptops on the market. Which screen resolutions are best for gaming? Is Full HD (1920 x 1080) the best? Are there any resolutions one should avoid?

Q: Steam Client - will downloaded games work on laptop?

Q: Can I play and fully enjoy Starcraft 2 using a Touchpad and not a Mouse?

systempuntooutI would like to play with StarCraft 2 on my MacBook Pro but I often (bad habit) use my laptop sitting on the couch where Mouse is not an option. Do you think I could be able to fully enjoy StarCraft just using the MBP touchpad?

Not sure how I feel about this one.
 
You gonna censor it
 
@Wipqozn how bad is that question -.-
 
4:54 PM
@ickleislands Is that a question?
 
nope, distinct lack of question mark makes it a statement
when I ask a question I will put one of these symbols at the end of the line: "?"
 
Well, your statement is phrased like a question.
In fact, I don't see how it can be understood as anything else.
 
wasn't the one that I was aiming to link -.-
 
@ickleislands They still require question marks.
 
my irl actions were "lol /rolleyes" < context for you

@agent86 The Random Number Gods hate me when it comes to video games :(
I do not get excessive amounts of scrap and usually rely upon salvage for my fuel.
Anyone have/use one of these ^^^
