Q: What is the maximum SP you get per day in Dust 514

Dust 514 has a set SP for passive, and a cap for active SP gain. So assuming you cap your SP for the day, and use no boosters, how much SP do you gain total? For bonus points: how much can you gain with boosters?

SaintWacko

@BenBrocka Right, that's the point, not penetrating

@fbueckert force is also absorbed by the bullet deforming and powdering

kalina

@Lazers I am of the opinion that this doesn't need tagging as eve-online

Fluttershy

6:13 PM

@kalina I was just about to say that.

fbueckert

@SaintWacko Yes, missed that aspect.

OrigamiRobot

@kalina Agreed. Make it so.

user15026

I think I lack the right kind of logic to play The Cave XD

user15026

.....and I needed to keep something I dropped forever ago. Okay. Well, now I know not to let go of anything.

Trent Hawkins

Ugh. Too many battery options for my car... and no idea what the best bang for my buck is. (also which ones will fit - I suppose I should have the owners manual handy... :/ )

fbueckert

6:20 PM

@TrentHawkins Finally biting the bullet and replacing the battery?

Trent Hawkins

@fbueckert Thinking about it... was kinda hoping to coast through this winter with the current one - but we've got another month or two of potentialy too-cold-to-start temperatures.

fbueckert

@TrentHawkins And getting at your battery is somewhat of a pain in the ass.

Fluttershy

@AshleyNunn The postcard?

user15026

@Fluttershy The crowbar.

Trent Hawkins

@fbueckert also seriously considering a heating pad for the new battery ($30 ontop of the cost of the battery)

Fluttershy

@AshleyNunn Ah. x_x

user15026

@Fluttershy I went back for it, now I just have to get my timing down to solve this puzzle with the hotdog and hte monster

Raven Dreamer

@kalina If you don't mind me asking, whereabouts in England do you live?

fbueckert

@TrentHawkins A bit of insulation might help it out, seeing as how your car sucks for heating.

kalina

@RavenDreamer north

near wakefield, ish

Raven Dreamer

@kalina Because there's a possibility that I might move to England for 3 months (To Hull) and I'm trying to determine which Bridgegoers would be visit-able.

I want to say Ronan is in London, but I'm probably wrong.

(Unfortunately, this would mean I'm not going to Amsterdam. Sorry, @FAE)

kalina

6:26 PM

you know that in comparison to America, England is like the size of one of your states

Trent Hawkins

@fbueckert Also - according to what I've been reading, the 2008s were shipped with crappy batteries (low electrolites or something)

Raven Dreamer

Yes, but I won't have a car in Europe.

kalina

So how's life, everybody?

I've been busy this past week. What'd I miss?

Yay, corporations. Save money, forget tenants!

SaintWacko

@RavenDreamer Public transportation is more common in Europe, too, though

user15026

@fbueckert Wow.

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn By refusing to talk to the press, they're basically confirming their story. "We're paying too much for heat! Let the tenants freeze!"

user15026

@fbueckert yikes. That is a terrible way to treat people.

fbueckert

And the sad part, unless someone speaks up, they get away with it, too.

SaintWacko

6:32 PM

That sort of thing happens a lot with absentee landlords

user15026

@fbueckert That is the part that really gets to me.

fbueckert

Winnipeg has a pretty severe housing shortage right now, too, so threatening to evict people tends to make them shut up.

SaintWacko

The penalties aren't harsh enough

fbueckert

gaming.stackexchange.com/review/suggested-edits/24699

Too minor?

kalina

@fbueckert It's fixing broken spelling, I approved it

I don't really care about the 'too minor' rule if it's fixing something obvious like that

user15026

6:34 PM

@fbueckert It is a really tiny edit, but it is fixing spelling, so....

fbueckert

Alright, fair enough.

kalina

eugh, I can't play more PoE

fbueckert

I figured it was too minor since it added in a single letter.

kalina

@fbueckert I'd rather approve a minor edit than have titles with spelling mistakes in them

badp

@RavenDreamer If we have enough advance notice we might be able to pay a visit to you and/or meetup someplace, rather than the other way around

IcySlurpee

@kalina It's better for the search, that's why I edited it.

SaintWacko

@kalina ?

Raven Dreamer

@badp Also, 3 months.

kalina

@IcySlurpee that it is, I'm more on about terrible spelling

@SaintWacko too much hack and slash

SaintWacko

@kalina Yeah, that always bugs me

@kalina My inner English teacher started screaming.

SaintWacko

@IcySlurpee I just twitch

user15026

@SaintWacko Yeah, right there with you. :P

kalina

I just end up unable to pay attention to anything else in the question/answer until the spelling mistake isn't there

SaintWacko

@kalina I'm tempted to just start posting comments with corrections for all of the mistakes

Q: Does tower height matter?

Obviously, the size of the tower matters. However, in Stronghold Kingdoms there are several tiers of castle towers to be researched, from simple wooden scaffolds to the great stone ones.

Q: Can I Choose the Install Location of 'Path of Exile'?

I'd like to install Path of Exile to an external hard drive, since I'll never be able to download it at home. But when I run the launcher, it starts 'Allocating Space', which leads me to believe it already knows where it's going to download and install the game to. Is there a way I can force it...

@fbueckert who is @GnomeSlice?

I don't remember any active user being called GnomeSlice

@kalina The intelligence is bliss.

Discussion quality has risen dramatically as well, now that we no longer need to deal with him.

For a while, anyways.

IcySlurpee

Does the button for links not like PHP pages?

badp

@fbueckert I think Powerlord occasionally does that when he has the urge to answer a question. That said, that's certainly not his spelling

fbueckert

@badp Yeah, that's what I was wondering.

@IcySlurpee Interesting. Markdown is pitching a fit over that link.

Sterno

Powerlord didn't delete himself again, did he?

IcySlurpee

@fbueckert Yeah, it really is. I'm just going to leave the URL, and not link it.

user15026

@fbueckert Yeah, I futzed with it, and couldn't get it to link nice :(

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn I'm doing the same.

user15026

@fbueckert Hopefully you will have more success than I did.

Sterno

Oh, I see, he's got a network account, just not a gaming account.

I don't think I'm ever going to understand the people who ragequit and account delete and then go to great pains to make sure their username doesn't somehow end up on the site.

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn Nope. Tried to add a www and everything. Nada.

user15026

@fbueckert weird.

Ben Brocka

@fbueckert seen that with questions too. I assume it's a weird anonymity thing

Sterno

@StrixVaria What's your take on POE?

StrixVaria

@Sterno Ehhhhhhhh.

Sterno

I haven't played it since very early closed beta, but it was pretty slow-paced back then.

StrixVaria

It has some neat ideas but I'm not convinced yet.

The passive system is terrible.

The combat seems unresponsive. It's definitely slower-paced than D3.

Sterno

7:12 PM

Bummer. Was hoping they amped it up a bit. It was okay at early levels, but by the time I got to level 20 or so, everything just felt like a grind

StrixVaria

I'm still only level 8-9.

Sterno

actually, I guess the first few levels were a grind too since you really didn't have any skills

agent86

@AshleyNunn it's friday afternoon, sigh

StrixVaria

I really like the way potions work, and the materia skills are a neat idea, although I don't know if it's a good one.

I'm a little horrified by the sheer number of Rebecca Black Friday videos there are that feature cats.

fbueckert

@badp What? The only thing I know about Rogues is that they're good at finding and disarming traps.

Most of these classes are unfamiliar to me.

badp

Since you're reading, @Gnome - it's... okay I guess

I was just making sure somebody wasn't impersonating you

Powerlord

@BenBrocka TF2 was already tracking stats, and Steam extrapolated from that to determine the number of hours you'd played it when Steam itself gained the ability to track hours played.

badp

@fbueckert I'm just saying, a character named "Gnomeslice" popped into the party we invited you to and I was confused as to how that happened

fbueckert

@badp Oh, that's not me.

Ben Brocka

7:57 PM

@Powerlord TF2 had stats for me, but they didn't transfer over to team. I only show like an hour played now, and that's all after the updates. Stuff from before the first weapon update (when I played) doesn't seem to have been tracked

badp

@fbueckert That said he's dropped off the party, so your spot is still available

fbueckert

@badp Just joined. Singshir.

Powerlord

@BenBrocka Mine appeared to include all my previous play time.

Also, my CSGO test server had better hurry up and update. I want to look at the translation file and see if CSGO has some new voting phrases in it.

fbueckert

Well. That was...anti-climactic.

Powerlord

The new version of CSGO has new data in its vote usermessages. One is "other_team_str" which doesn't exist in the TF2 vote system.

fbueckert

8:13 PM

@Wipqozn Do I have to take a minor action?

Powerlord

I only found out about it because I'm implementing CS:GO support in the plugin version I'm writing.

I'm double-checking my extension code now to make sure I didn't just write it wrong in my plugin code here.

Wipqozn

@fbueckert I I believe so, but I think you can just take defensive stance which gives ou a bonus to dodge. I don't think it has any drawbacks.

fbueckert

@Wipqozn And I miss again!
