@GnomeSlicE You got your close reasons mixed up in that comment :P

@OrigamiRobot No I didn't.

Oh fuck, I did.

Fixed.

The piano work on that sounds a lot like Castlevania.

I've had close privileges for less than 24 hours, and I've already voted to close three questions.

@Wipqozn Didn't realize 'Castlevania' was a genre now.

Q: Does it matter which resistance type I stack when using One With Everything?

5:03 PM

0

I'm currently a level 52 Monk (Act 1 Hell) and using One With Everything to boost my resistances. At the time that I decided to start using OWE, my Physical resistance was highest, so I bought other items with that at the Auction House. Now I've got that around 200 total resistance. That's all ...

diablo-3 diablo-3-monk

And this is too localized.

@fbueckert Just leave it, there are tons of too localized questions about Diablo builds or Starcraft situations.

A: What is the highest critical chance and critical damage that is possible through items alone?

3

Here is a list with max values for each slot of Critical Hit Chance / Critical Hit Damage Max per gearset: 54% / 450% # gear slots: 7 / 5 Weapn: 0% / 100% + (100% gem) Offhnd: 10% / 0% Shield: 10% / 0% Amulet: 10% / 100% Ring: 6% / 50% Belt: 0% / 0% Boots: 0% / 0% Bracer: 6% / 0% Chest: 0% / 0%...

@GnomeSlicE Who was it that was saying that Diablo questions get more leeway because it's popular?

@fbueckert do these numbers add up to you?

Q: Max Resistance in Diablo 3

What is the Max Resistance you can get in diablo 3? I couldn't find anything on the topic or any duplicates here.

facedesk

@fbueckert @fbueckert: How is that too localized?

@fbueckert What's the problem with that? Seems okay to me, straightforward.

@GnomeSlicE This one is basically a dupe of: gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/69584/…

@fbueckert I'm replying to a different question. see my edit.

5:07 PM

@fbueckert The titles aren't dupes though, I haven't read the long one you just linked but they don't SOUND like dupes.

I really like her music.

@GnomeSlicE Short answer is: there is no maximum.

@fbueckert So post that as an answer.

@Wipqozn With One With Everything, no resistance is more important than any other. That's the whole point of the skill.

A: How is resistance percentage calculated?

@fbueckert How does that make the question too localized?

1

Elemental damage reduction = Resistance / (5 × Monster Level + Resistance). Therefore a level 60 player fighting a level 60 monster will have the following elemental damage reduction: ------------------------------------------- | Resistance | Elemental damage reduction | -----------------------...

5:10 PM

Referencing the AH means there's no way to provide a concrete answer; prices are in flux.

By the sounds of the answer there is an upper limit on resistance.

@GnomeSlicE: Answers to the first question should cover the duplicate question.

@Wipqozn There's the max amount you can reasonably acquire, but the formula doesn't have a hard cap.

"IS there an upper limit" is part of "How do you calculate"

@fbueckert No, if one resistance is more valuable to non-Monks, they are going to cost more. Period.

@Wipqozn If you read the second question, he specifically says he couldn't find a dupe of it here. So why not leave it open, post an answer, and link to the other one for more information.

5:11 PM

Limit (mathematics)

In mathematics, the concept of a "limit" is used to describe the value that a function or sequence "approaches" as the input or index approaches some value. Limits are essential to calculus (and mathematical analysis in general) and are used to define continuity, derivatives, and integrals. The concept of a limit of a sequence is further generalized to the concept of a limit of a topological net, and is closely related to limit and direct limit in category theory. In formulas, limit is usually abbreviated as lim as in lim(an) = a, and the fact of approaching a limit is represented by th...

@OrigamiRobot That's a point I hadn't considered.

That's what I mean.

Monks should stack the least popular resistance (Cold or Poison)

It sounds like there is an upper limit on the formula.

Financially that is

5:12 PM

Mathematically, there is no limit. That's why I'm facedesking.

@GnomeSlicE Just because he couldn't find a dup doesn't mean we don't close his question. That's why the duplicate close reason exists.

@Wipqozn It means that 'what is the max resistance' isn't easily identifiable here because it's covered in a question with a completely different title.

We've had overlaps before.

@GnomeSlicE Which is another reason why we have dups. When a question covers many things, due to it being a complex question.

@GnomeSlicE Title != Question

@GnomeSlicE We have, yes, but this isn't an overlap. The duplicate question is completely covered by the original question.

5:15 PM

I asked him to re-word it to limit it to maximum achievable from items.

Otherwise, it can be answered by the dup.

@OrigamiRobot The title is what people search for.

If it was asking for more detail about a specific part of it, then I'd more inclined to agree with you (it would depend on the situation). However in this situation it sounds like it will either be a simple yes or no question, or "Yes, because of <insert answer from the original question here>"

@GnomeSlicE The search looks in the body too.

@Wipqozn But many people looking for the maximum resistance won't look there.

@GnomeSlicE Which is why we have a dup close reason.

5:16 PM

@OrigamiRobot Well, the asker clearly said that he couldn't find it here.

@GnomeSlicE That is why dupes are not deleted.

@GnomeSlicE And?

@OrigamiRobot And what?

You've already brought up all these points, and we've had responses to them.

You're just going round in circles.

@GnomeSlicE Just because he couldn't find a dup doesn't mean we don't close his question. That's why the duplicate close reason exists.

I think he just rage quit.

Well, kudos to him for not actually raging, and instead walking away. He seems to be getting better with that.

5:18 PM

@Wipqozn That's true. I'm glad he can do that.

He STILL needs to learn to write and argue better, though; he seems to be taking critiquing his argument personally.

Well I just voted to close as a dup.

@GnomeSlicE Welcome back!

grumblegrumble

And he just asked for us to close it.

So, it's a duplicate.

@fbueckert Yes.

5:21 PM

Figured I'd see if he might want to re-word, but hey, whatever works.

I voted to close it, but I'm not rescinding my upvote.

@GnomeSlicE You don't need to.

@GnomeSlicE You rebel, you

In fact I don't agree with people down voting dups, unless the user didn't bother searching at all.

What do you guys think of St Chicken.

5:22 PM

I don't think a down vote was appropriate at all for this question.

I can't stream the trailer

@Wipqozn Searching "diablo-3 Resistance" brings up the duplicate as the first result.

If that doesn't show poor effort, I don't know what lazy means.

@fbueckert He probably didn't assume that 'how is resistance percentage calculated' would answer his question, so didn't read it.

And he deleted it.

So much for not deleting duplicates.

Alright, people need to start asking questions I can answer...

I'm never going to reach 10k, with my repertoire of games.

@OrigamiRobot Which planet?

@GnomeSlicE Don't steal @QAtash's thunder!

@Wipqozn why are we undeleting something the owner deleted?

5:28 PM

@agent86 He deleted it because it was a duplicate. We don't delete duplicates.

THis wouldn't be the first time we've done this.

Well, the owner deleted it, so you can't really tell him he can't.

@GnomeSlicE Watch me!

@GnomeSlicE Actually, we just did.

Q: Does it matter which resistance type I stack when using One With Everything?

@Samjus: I've undeleted your question. We actually prefer to keep duplicates to make it easier for other users to find the original question. When this is closed it will link to the original question. — Wipqozn 1 min ago

Is what @fbueckert just linked. Save yourself the click!

Undelete, explain why. problem solved.

There are rumors of an iPad mini.

@EbonDreamer Those rumours are rather trivial.

@EbonDreamer I've got two of those already.

Wow, what did I just miss?

An iPhone and an iPod touch.

@fbueckert @OrigamiRobot and I started swearing out @agent86, and he deleted our messages.

@Wipqozn I'm surprised we didn't get banned.

@OrigamiRobot Yup! I sure do love my CORRECT English.

@Wipqozn Note: Taking @Wipqozn at face value is not a good idea.

@Wipqozn I actually rather like the u's

5:32 PM

@OrigamiRobot @agent86 is probably just a little slow today.

@Wipqozn this seems a bit nonsensical to me, but I don't really have the time or energy to debate it. I will therefore shrug and say "whatever" and optionally roll my eyes.

New rule! Disbelieve everything @Wipqozn says!

@fbueckert I wouldn't call that "new"

@Wipqozn British English has changed more since 1776 than American English. We Americans speak the old tyme-y way, not y'all.

What I don't like is using s instead of z everywhere

@agent86 If the user deletes it again, then we leave it alone. But I don't think there is anything wrong with undeleting and explaining why to the user. He probably just didn't think we like keeping duplicates around.

@OrigamiRobot I've only been here three months. You expect me to download all the historical information in that time?

@OrigamiRobot What about when people uze 'z' inztead of 's'?

@fbueckert Yes.

Hence, it's new to me.

5:34 PM

@fbueckert That's what I did in my first 3 minutes.

@GnomeSlicE Example?

@Wipqozn sticking to my guns on this one, although the eye rolling is now required.

@OrigamiRobot Re-read my message.

@OrigamiRobot It took you three whole minutes? You poor, slow, robot.

@EbonDreamer huh, didn't know that. Very interesting.

You've never seen people do that because they think it's cool? i.e. 'Lotz'.

5:35 PM

@GnomeSlicE Ugh. Kill it. Kill it now.

@GnomeSlicE I meant in actual words...

@fbueckert That's a rude thing to say to @GnomeSlicE. I don't think there is any need to threaten the poor boy.

@OrigamiRobot Well, 'Lazers', for one.

@GnomeSlicE I'm talking about things like criticize vs. criticise

@Wipqozn I can threaten leet speak all I like. It's cruise control for cool. Straight off a cliff.

Strangely, I'm ok with Lazers, though.

tortoise grumble

@Wipqozn turtle*

US Gov't Confirms that Mermaids are not Real

@OrigamiRobot Well, in this case that is a turtle, not a tortoise.

Also if you ever get elected mod @OrigamiRobot I assume you'll just edit all my messages to say turtle instead of tortoise.

@OrigamiRobot The sky is no color. The effect of the color in the sky is dependent upon the amount of light be refracted off the atmosphere, which, of course, depends on whether or not the planet has atmosphere. For example, here on Earth, the wavelength we perceive as blue is the color that ends up being seen in the sky based on our planetary conditions.

Next Question

@EbonDreamer Now we all know.

5:40 PM

@Wipqozn I just found my moderator platform!

"Vote for me, and I will do everything I can to annoy @Wipqozn!"

@QAtash +1

@fbueckert I'd vote for you with that platform.

@QAtash I remember reading about this before, it's really interesting.

Colour is an interesting thing.

@Wipqozn Technically, what we see as color is just light refracted into a slightly different wavelength that the brain interprets as color.

@Wipqozn I could've sworn I mentioned this being my main platform for the next election.

@fbueckert I know. Like I said, really interesting.

@OrigamiRobot You probably did.

5:43 PM

My brain's interpretation of Red could be vastly different from your brain's interpretation of Red. And we would never know the difference.

@EbonDreamer We already did know Arda doesn't exist, so that's okay.

@Wipqozn Then again, that argument can be made for any of our senses.

@EbonDreamer Wouldn't language fix that?

One could also look at it from the stance of what we see being the color that an object is not.

Also, "Its Blue Because Chuck Norris Says Its Blue.."

5:43 PM

"Man, that's car's a very nice red." "Dude, are you daltonic? That's green." "Oh, okay, then it's green."

@QAdp So you've just pushed your color interpretation onto someone else.

@fbueckert Isn't that how language works?

Assigning meaning to words based on consensus?

@QAdp It's the very premise of language; to convey concepts.

@QAdp As a colour blind person, I take offense to that.

5:45 PM

The problem with color, though, is that it can be entirely subjective.

@Wipqozn Your turtle is red, your argument is invalid

@QAtash Sorry, I didnt watch this because I saw a much better video on the side.

What you see as red could be psychedelic purple unicorns for all we know.

Or vice versa.

imagines @Wipqozn opening Gimp to doublecheck the image with a color picker

@QAdp I'm not red-green colour blind, but nice try.

I think...

5:46 PM

@Wipqozn was worth a try

I think I'm something something colour blind.

@OrigamiRobot I see his face now and I just think ("Get you good to go pass"](farm6.staticflickr.com/5088/5229994398_e6c6dbf3da_z.jpg)

What's the color that repeats twice? :P

user2334

5:47 PM

halp civ5 players: do these answers look correct?

@OrigamiRobot I see what you did there.

My image parser had trouble with that.

@QAdp 60 - ~120 are all very close, and the area around 240 is all very close too.

ickleislands

@MarkTrapp haven't got the addon yet

@QAdp If I identify the color of a tomato as "red", you will also associate "red" as the color of tomato. It doesn't matter what it actually is, but the point is that it's consistent for every person. Colors don't change, so it's only the differences in color that we can detect (and talk about)

So blue-yellow maybe?

5:49 PM

@Wipqozn You mean 60 (yellow), 120 (green) and 240 (blue) all loook the same?

@QAdp OH, no.

one moemnt

@EbonDreamer Well, I still fail to see why colors are special in this regard

user2334

@ickleislands Dang. I'd test it myself, but the Mac port keeps crashing, and the one game I've gotten pretty far in now crashes 100% of the time after 3 more turns. Guess I could boot up bootcamp

You could say that for every word or adjective

@EbonDreamer This, I've always wondered about colour in this way myself. Does my 'green' match your 'green'? There's no way to ever know unless we become able to borrow someone else's perception some day through techology or something.

ickleislands

5:50 PM

@MarkTrapp :(

You: "This is an apple." Everybody else: "No, dude, it's a pear." You: "Oh, okay."

@Wipqozn I hope this isn't segfaulting your brain

@GnomeSlicE Or we just invent telepathy. Then who needs stinking words?

What I mean is that everything in a circle looks the same as everything else within the same circle

@Wipqozn Those are already pretty close anyway.

5:52 PM

So the blue area circled all looks like the same shade of blue.

@Wipqozn that's... not color blindness

@QAdp I think you just found a terrible image for me to test on.

(assuming you weren't too accurate with your circle)

@Wipqozn Testing you wasn't the point

user2334

@Wipqozn This is going to sound kind of weird, but were you raised in an East Asian country?

I guess TIL that daltonism can't be determined with a hue bar!

5:53 PM

Perception is a construction of our mind. It doesn't actually exist.

@MarkTrapp No sir. Why?

I can't see the numbers there.

@EbonDreamer Constructions of our minds actually exist. It doesn't matter they only exist in our mind: they're still the result of the way our very physical brain works.

@Wipqozn 45

@EbonDreamer Reality is the original Rorschach. Verily! So much for all that.

5:54 PM

/zen

user2334

@Wipqozn There have been studies that have found people who speak certain East Asian languages/dialogues as their first language can't tell the difference between shades of yellow-green because their languages don't support the concept.

@MarkTrapp Fascinating

@QAdp True. However, it is impossible to know if the constructions of others minds match. The only thing we can verify is that the constructions are consistent.

@MarkTrapp That's... interesting.

@MarkTrapp That is an area of particularly ugly shades

5:55 PM

This is a really deep level philosophical discussion for 11am...

although I also dislike green-blue shades, possibly more than that

@QAtash ...Philisophical?

user2334

@OrigamiRobot My metaphysics (not the hocus locus kind: analytical philosophy) professor couldn't tell the difference between lemons and limes because of it. She was from Szechuan

@MarkTrapp That's really interesting.

@GnomeSlicE Yeah. Philosophical...

5:56 PM

@qadp any object that reflects 240 nm light will always reflect 240 nm light. What color that 240 nm light appears to be might vary between individuals, but they would never know, because they agree that it is 240 nm light.

user2334

s/dialogues/dialects/ whatever

@EbonDreamer Theoretically, perhaps. I guess it's just my engineering background that makes me say that different black boxes (our minds) giving the same output ("This is red!") to the same input (an apple) are the same for all practical purposes

@MarkTrapp Neat. Humans are so weird.

@QAdp All he means is that what appears 'red' to you might not be the same perception as 'red' to someone else, but you both associate it to be 'red'.

@EbonDreamer I don't quite think my eyes are that kind of spectrometers

5:58 PM

@QAdp Mine are.

user2334

Some languages can't tell the difference between blue and green either

That's something I've wondered about since I was a kid.

It's all okay anyway everyone. We're all just looking at shadow puppets on a cave wall anyway
