@Sterno We should remove his diamond as a form of punishment for his laziness.
I has done been backsies
sorry
@Wipqozn And give it to @Mana.
DOUBLE DIAMOND MANA
@OrigamiRobot Better idea: Give the diamond to us.
So I got myself Fable.
Give someone random the diamond every day, Slashdot style
14:15
@Sterno I once proposed to give people one hour of diamond per week for every 10k above 20k
it wasn't received very well
Hmmmm, new year - new gravatar
We'd go mad with power. Mad, I tell you.
@Sterno We'll all get banned for abusing our superpowers, but it'll be so worth it

Q: Skyrim Freezing problems after adding Dragonborn on XBox360

LeonieI got the Dawnguard and Dragonborn add ons for my XBox a few weeks ago and while my Dawnguard worked fine my Dragonborn only added a few new bits to my game and I couldn't find the cultist at all or the ship in Windhelm so I have redownloaded Dragonborn now I can do the dragonborn quests but the ...

Q: Jailbreak my iPod problem

Andrew EckertOk so this morning I was about to jailbreak my iPod touch. The only problem was that I can't use it because jailbreakme.com was taken down. Is there other working jail breaking sites I can use through my iPod touch? And if so what is it?(my iPod touch is version 6.0.

@Lazers Have to censor myself again from commenting.
> I'm not sure what part of this site's name, description, branding, or FAQ made you think this was the right place to ask this question.
14:20
Check he hasn't been banned from apple first, he may just be trying to ask anywhere.
I only spent $5.88 during the Steam sale. I'd be proud of that if it didn't mean I'd bought of a ton of stuff before it had ever been on sale.
@StrixVaria Don't worry, I'll comment.
> @StrixVaria says "I'm not sure what part of this site's name, description, branding, or FAQ made you think this was the right place to ask this question."
@Lazers The problem with :P
@OrigamiRobot If you say that, I will upvote it
@OrigamiRobot Meh.
I can't get to the main site from work anyway
Too lazy to RDP
14:21
Also, what a way to start my morning. First thing I do, VTC
@Sterno mmmh
@YiJiang mmmh!
@MBraedley The specific question, "Recommend me a jailbreak site for my iPod" most definitely isn't on-topic anywhere
That @kalina's a Pyro!
@OrigamiRobot Or a red spy
@RavenDreamer I summon thee!
14:25
That @YiJiang's an alien banana!
@YiJiang that's why I said might. I don't go to ask different at all
@OrigamiRobot Actually, I'm Yi Jiang's Evil Clone
unrelated: I wish I didn't feel the need to jailbreak my Nexus 7
not having to jailbreak it is, like, the whole point of a Nexus device, right?
The original got murdered when I popped out of a Chest of Evil on Dungeon Level 6 in Dungeon of Dredmor
@badp Not really, no. The purpose of rooting is to get superuser permission to run stuff like Titanium Backup
my new years resolution is to use arqade less
sorry4u
14:27
@YiJiang changes @Yi's nickname accordingly
@kalina Less than?
my new year's resolution is no new year's resolutions
The advantage of having a Nexus device is you'll get stock Android and speedy updates
...I think I failed there
Relatively speedy updates
14:28
@YiJiang okay, I probably should've said "flash" rather than "jailbreak"
given that stock Nexus 7 doesn't do wifi hotspot for no obvious reason
@kalina I assume you're apologizing because you claim that no one keeps their resolutions, and therefore we will not see less of you. :)
I like being an Evil Clone of myself
@Sterno I am apologising for depriving you of my presence for potentially hours each day.

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I rooted my N7 and flashed CM10
With the tablet mode mod
@SaintWacko I was considering doing that, then I realized I'd lose ALL the things
@badp Like what?
@SaintWacko Files. Apps. Settings. Stuff.
@Jin fail
14:32
@YiJiang'sEvilClone the 1.8 GB of Humble Bundle downloads, the settings, etc.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Oh, yeah
I'm used to that
My N7 messes up occasionally, and I have to reflash it
Was quite a pain for me. I lost progress on SpaceChem.
but I like having tablet mode
Way better for the N7 than the phone mode it's in
what is tablet mode?
@SaintWacko I haven't even flashed CM9 to my GS3
14:34
New gravatar's kicked in, yay
@badp The status bar at the top is gone, the navigation buttons are shifted over to the left side of the bottom bar, and the stuff from the status bar sits at the right side of the bottom bar
And it enables dual pane mode on apps
The left edge needs a bit more contrast. The colors look a little washed out. Hmmmm.
maybe a screenshot would make more sense
I kinda like the status bar at any rate
@MBraedley I flashed CM10 within 10 minutes of getting home with mine :P
@SaintWacko Uh. I'll keep it in mind when and if I do flash this.
Also I wonder if the countdown on ubuntu.com is related to this
14:38
@badp I did, but the combined statusbar gives me more screen real estate
@badp Related to what?
@badp Related to what? I'm guessing they're releasing the next version of Ubuntu
@YiJiang'sEvilClone the Nexus 7 stuff
@SaintWacko That would be in April and they wouldn't use the verb "touch" like that.
@badp I must have come in in the middle of a conversation
What N7 stuff?
uh, flashing and whatnot
14:39
Possibly. I think they have Ubuntu targetting the Nexus 7 for a while now
Ubuntu already has the Nexus 7 as a target platform of sorts
@badp What, like running Ubuntu on an N7?
That would be neat
yeah.
Guess I'll wait three hours and twenty minutes to fix my N7
oh, disappointing. The countdown doesn't react to touch events.
14:40
Finally something Unity would be a good fit for
Heh
That would be cool
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Yep, that's why I used Fedora instead of Ubuntu
I wanted Gnome without Unity
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I dunno - the top left corner app management buttons would totally suck for fingers. Those and the menu are totally mouse-only.
@badp It'll be as simple as adding a button on the side to open the Dash
@YiJiang'sEvilClone uh, isn't that the top button?
The rest of the applications aren't touch friendly though
It's... uh, being a while since I used Unity
14:42
It's been like this since the very first version :P
you must be confusing yourself with Windows 8
@badp hiss, boo
been using Windows 8 almost exclusively since the customer preview
@badp I downloaded the dev preview, installed to a VM, saw that it was completely unusable, and never took a second look
@MBraedley From what I've seen of it, I can't imagine using it on anything without a touchscreen
@MBraedley you failed at the "VM" part - like any modern Linux or OS X distribution it needs 3D acceleration
14:48
@badp But you can still see the interface without getting the full graphical effect
@SaintWacko but you can't then talk about usability
if the corners are actually not corners
@badp You can talk about interface usability
I think it's telling that walking down Nanjing's computer hardware and IT street, there's no paddlers on the side of the road selling pirated copies of Windows 8, unlike two years ago where you couldn't walk 5 meters without bumping into one selling Windows 7
Strangely enough I also saw ads for the Microsoft Surface in the subway here
I suppose I'd better go ahead and flash the stock Nakasi image, so I'm ready to do whatever I need to to install Ubuntu
@SaintWacko meh, what I know is that some people like it, some people don't and those that don't can't possibly see how anybody would disagree with them
well to be fair I can't see how anybody could possibly use Windows XP today
14:51
@badp Yeah, Windows 8 is a very polarizing OS. You either love it or hate it. I kinda suspect the line between the two is the same as the one between those who have touchscreens and those who don't :P
@badp and it would have gotten it, if I could have installed the VM integration package, but I had no working network interface
@badp Up until I couple months ago I was still using XP at my old job
Then about a month before I got my new job, they finally got me a new computer -.-
@SaintWacko Ouch
eh. Workplaces still use XP just like banks still use mainframes running COBOL
@badp Our mainframes use TPF
14:53
if it works and it's still supported...
TPF is an IBM real-time operating system for mainframes descended from the IBM System/360 family, including zSeries and System z9. The name is an initialism for Transaction Processing Facility. TPF evolved from the Airlines Control Program (ACP), a free package developed in the mid-1960s by IBM in association with major North American and European airlines. In 1979, IBM introduced TPF as a replacement for ACP — and as a priced software product. The new name suggests its greater scope and evolution into non-airline related entities. Current users include Sabre (reservation...
This is... rather old
@SaintWacko the latest release of TPF is newer than Windows XP

Q: Can somebody complete an extended essay on light sources and send it to me?

SnowboarderI know that I need to do it but I have only played New Super Mario Bros recently...

So tempted to ask "can someone beat New Super Mario bros for me? I've been busy writing this essay on light sources"
Latest stable release V1R1 / December, 2005
@badp Yep, ,but not all of our mainframes are on that yet. Only a couple of them are on z/TPF
14:55
@BenBrocka Simple! Just die a few times! The game will beat itself for you!
And anyways, that was kinda my point. The company I'm at now is much more up to date than my old one
@badp Well, XP SP3 is newer than that
@BenBrocka That would be amazing
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Service Pack 2 - the real Win XP update - is dated August 25, 2004
@fbueckert Not in the first one
14:56
@YiJiang'sEvilClone My instructor for the training program has been using TPF since it was introduced
and he's trained pretty much everyone at the company
@BenBrocka Oh, right. I'm thinking of NSMB Wii.
SP3 is more like nice to have.
SP2 is super fucking vital.
Hm, I got the nakasi image, but my N7 won't turn on...
Maybe the battery's dead
Guess I'll charge it for a couple hours
@YiJiang'sEvilClone why are you Twilight's hair?
because evil

44 mins ago, by Yi Jiang
Hmmmm, new year - new gravatar
I like my gravatar
Wanted something that's actually recognisable even at the smallest size.
I've always liked this symbol
But the left edge of the highlights kind of blends in too much
My resolution is to ping @kalina more often so she has trouble with her resolution.
15:00
@YiJiang'sEvilClone @OrigamiRobot probably still thinks you look like some random other person
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Yeah, I thought it was just pink at first
@BenBrocka No, he doesn't look like anyone.
@OrigamiRobot Why does @kalina have trouble with her resolution?
@SaintWacko shoulda used HDMI
I alternate between female and male characters. So far, the female characters have been more successful
15:02
an*
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I wish I could install DoD on my flash drive
Catherine is my current one. She's down to dungeon level 11 already.
And so far, she's encountered more than half a dozen sets of Horse Armor
@YiJiang'sEvilClone That one amuses me
At least it sells for a lot
Was it Skyrim the game where this meme originated from?
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Oblivion
The first DLC added two types of horse armor, neither of which did anything
15:06
She's also outgrown her Dwarven Atom Smasher. Her primary weapon does 55 damage, and combined with everything else she averages 100 damage with every hit
Although I don't think I should've enabled the 5 extra dungeon levels. The game is starting to feel a little too grindy
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Nice, but isn't the sun mace thing better?
@SaintWacko I never even found my horse armor. And I got it free with the collector's edition
Also I was a terrible collector and barely played the game
Darn, apparently I didn't buy the HIB with DoD in it
Eh, she's currently equipped with an artifact Axe of the Lunar Disc. 30 slashing, 10 crushing, 10 aethereal and 5 hyperborean damage
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Ah, yeah, that's the other one. That and the sun one are the two most powerful
Once, I found two of the sun ones in a portal vault
On floor 3 or something
Would have carried me through the rest of the game, but this was early after the release of the latest expansion, and it glitched and got me stuck in the vault :(
15:14
Mysterious Portal - teleports you to a level 0 sub-dungeon containing random monster from all levels in the dungeon
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Er, yeah, that.
I play DCSS too much
I had a few characters killed in there. Learnt my lesson after that
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Yeah, it's a tough place
I got lucky
The one really dangerous thing I ran into was an existential raven, and I was able to run away from that
Existential Raven comes from Dungeon Level 7-9 I think
@BenBrocka Do it.
15:16
Also, does anyone own the standalone DoD and expansions and would be willing to let me download it?
I own it on Steam and Desura, but not standalone :(
Does a standalone version even exist?
I think so
And isn't Desura DRM free?
It was available in a HIB
Is it?
Hmm...
That would make sense
I would just install Desura, but I'm a little leery of installing games on my work computer
I wonder if I could clear Diggle Hell
15:18
So instead I just play them off my flash drive and play browser based games :P
@YiJiang'sEvilClone You'll never know until you try!
That's my roguelike philosophy
Probably why I haven't gotten a rune yet...
Diggle Hell contains all diggles from every level. Unfortunately I'm playing a vegan, and the diggles in Diggle Hell seem to ignore that fact
@YiJiang'sEvilClone What would they do if they didn't ignore that fact?
I haven't used the vegan tree
Please tell me being a vegan gives you telekinetic powers like in Scott Pilgrim
The vegan tree gives you +2 to shitty arguments about defecating like clockwork, every morning, in a very small time window
(true story. kinda)
But does it float? I hear that is the true sign of veganism (even though it's not scientifically supported whatsoever)
15:30
Killer Vegan is a warrior skill. Going up the branch gives you regen and health bonus mainly. You also deal extra righteous damage
The downside is you can't consume any food containing animal products, which means the best food you can get is the tofu with only +12 health, and you can't use meele attacks on any animal enemies
I think someone forgot to turn my brain on this morning. I'm just kinda here
The upshot is that animals will never attack you, and you can still kill them using non-meele weapons
@BenBrocka That's what you get for outsourcing.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone what game is this anyway?
@BenBrocka Dungeon of Dredmor
15:33
Oh, I've heard of that
And unlike vampires you can still eat meat or hurt animals. It's just that the game gives you a pretty harsh debuff if you do either of those.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Can you be a vampire and use the corpse health regen?
@SaintWacko Yeah, but I never really liked the vampire branch
Too fragile in the beginning
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I never play without it anymore
As soon as you get your first skill point, you're pretty much invincible
good afternoon people
15:39
@Blem It will be in an hour and a half.
im on vacaton in brazil atm, so it is afternoon now here :)
By the time I get to DL6 I have max regen rate on both mana and health, from a combination of skills and items
Unfortunately I got a few items cursed and corrupted on level 10, so now my health regen is down to 3
I'm actually a vegetarian right now in DCSS
Not by choice :(
Now that's a story I want to hear
@YiJiang'sEvilClone mutations
15:43
I don't think vegetarianism is a genetic trait :P
your stomach is
-5
Q: Making games available to play and or download

Jonathan Wade DreyerI think that you should make the game Bad Piggies available to play like Angry Birds. If you'd like make it available to download as well but make it able to be played without having to download it. I don't have enough memory on my computer to download this and that, like I'm sure lots of other...

wat
He's got a point, bad piggies consumes nearly 40% of the HDD on my Windows 3.1 machine
Developers these days consuming entire megabytes of memories
It's ridiculous, unsustainable
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Yep, mutations. I portaled into a magician's lair filled with highly mutagenetic clouds
@BenBrocka Maybe he doesn't have a hard drive and has to load all games permanently into ram
That could by why he kept saying "memory"
15:50
I found a cure mutation potion later, but of course it removed all my good mutations and most of the bad ones, but left the worst alone
It kept me a vegetarian with -2 str
@TimStone Aww it's deleted :(
@murgatroid99 That would limit one's ability to install games
-7
Q: Racist negative votes

WishtobeNothingI noticed that there are a lot of racist negative votes (including moderators) on stackoverflow. Any suggestions, experiences to solve that problem.

People and their racist downvotes
@BenBrocka -13 racist downvotes in five minutes.
We're all a bunch of racists.
Wow, that was really close
Racist closure too
15:52
Just got down to 18/174 HP
@OrigamiRobot The rest was "...s don't either, and would just like to play a game to relax. Just a thought for you guys.....", for completeness
@fbueckert I don't think the save manager is updated to .18, confirm?
Ran into a Lich which summoned a Shadow Fiend
@RonanForman Not to my knowledge.
Shouldn't be hard to update, though.
@fbueckert Apparently there was a new save format a while back.

Q: Are questions about Play TV considered on topic?

RoryAre questions regarding Sony's Play TV for PS3 considered on topic for gaming? I'm not sure if they meet the criteria for the FAQ point: Game-specific hardware and utilities

Q: When is stack AP better than Magic Penetration

Click OkWhen (or "why") is better purchase Void Staff instead another Rabadon's Deathcap? Without the passive, Rabadon's Deathcap alone gives 120 AP! I think It's more than most Magic Resistance of all kind of champions (with the exception of tanks).

@RonanForman It's still pretty XML-ish.
@fbueckert I'm just reading the forum post, I don't know about the formats.
@RonanForman I poked around in it after pushing my first space station into orbit, and realizing the multipoint connectors still need docking ports.
