Q: How does currency work?

Path of Exile has done away with a single unified currency entirely. Seeing as how every player is a shipwrecked survivor inhabiting a hostile land, that definitely makes sense from an in-game perspective. The problem is, there's no way to tell what anything is worth, or which items are worth m...

@agent86 It's pretty sweet. I went for Straight Talk once I found T mobile's plan didn't have good coverage here

@BenBrocka what's the price like on straight talk?

I'm mainly going w/t-mobile for their $30/mo "unlimited" (but not) data plan

@StrixVaria Clarity level 2 - Mana reserved: 80. Mana regen: 3.3/sec

Gnome got banned on the main site too, apparently. =/

Ben Brocka

@agent86 $45 a month. same "unlimited" data, but unlimited talk as well. I'd only consider it if T mobile's coverage is poor where you are (you can pick AT&T coverage instead, and get HSPA+ on T mobile or AT&T) or if you need more minutes than the $30 t mobile plan

Ullallulloo

@winterswift G'evening.

winterswift

@Ullallulloo Someone finally banned him I gather?

Ben Brocka

T mobile was my first choice but they have voice-only coverage here and that won't do at all

Fluttershy

@badp @agent86 Is his entire account meant to be suspended? Or just chat?

@Ullallulloo That's why I asked that. I wasn't sure if it was intentional or not. =\

Ullallulloo

3:00 AM

@Fluttershy Seems like a hard mistake to make, especially since they end a day or two apart.

Just seemed harsh to me, although I probably don't know everything.

winterswift

@Ullallulloo What tipped the scale?

fbueckert

@Ullallulloo He's had it coming all week; he knew what was up. It's been shape up or ship out for months now, and the shape up never happened.

Ullallulloo

@fbueckert Yeah, but it's been fine on the main site for like a year.

fbueckert

@Ullallulloo I definitely don't know the whole story. I ignored him earlier today after I couldn't deal with him anymore.

And then afterwards he got banned.

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn Yup.

user15026

@fbueckert Oy.

fbueckert

I told you about how, instead of reveal their CEO, they attacked the judge, right?

user15026

@fbueckert Yep

fbueckert

3:32 AM

@AshleyNunn So now that it's come back from a different judge saying, "You guys are insane. There's no bias here.", they're arguing, "There're no defendants to this case! It's just John Doe! So you can't object to anything we do!"

user15026

@fbueckert ...............

user15026

what.

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn I think that's what most of the judges and lawyers against them are doing.

Not to mention they're filing the same lawsuit in multiple jurisdictions, seeing if they can find a judge who'll give them what they want.

user15026

@fbueckert That...just....what. What what what what what,

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn They're looking for names so they can threaten them. "Give us money or we'll take you to court for lots of money!".

Most copyright cases before the courts are essentially legalized extortion.

user15026

3:34 AM

@fbueckert Oy.

fbueckert

They don't actually want to file a lawsuit for every person. They just want them to give them money for nothing.

So, rather than, y'know, follow through, they're doing everything they can to avoid anything that might hinder them getting money from innocent folk.

user15026

@fbueckert Man, these guys are jerks

fbueckert

The only reason they haven't dropped this one is because the judge made it quite clear that if they ever want to be taken seriously in court again, they'll go through this entire case as a test case, to see if their claims are valid.

user15026

huh. Thats special

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn Yeah. I think the judges are tired of these cases, because they never seem to go forward beyond, "OMG! OUR RIGHTS ARE BEING INFRINGED! WE MUST HAVE NAMES!"

user15026

3:40 AM

@fbueckert I can see how that would be annoying

Ullallulloo

That's new.

user15026

@Ullallulloo Interesting...

Ullallulloo

Also, that's really big.

fbueckert

@Ullallulloo 100 MB is big?

Ullallulloo

@fbueckert Yeah, especially for a Steam update.

Fluttershy

3:44 AM

I seem to have encountered a bug in the tutorial mission of Strike Suit Zero...

Ullallulloo

They removed /me though.

fbueckert

@Ullallulloo Huh. I guess Steam updates haven't really told us how big they are before.

Q: Is there a way to destroy my enemy's planet without taking it over?

Often my people become unhappy about the unwieldy size of my empire. Is there any way to just destroy the population on an opposing planet, rather than taking control of it?

endless-space

Fluttershy

@AshleyNunn No it is not... Currently looking for a fix.

user15026

@Fluttershy I hope you find one!

fbueckert

@Ullallulloo What did /me do?

Ullallulloo

3:48 AM

Turn your message to your status color and remove the colon.

fbueckert

@Ullallulloo To make it look all official, eh?

Ullallulloo

@fbueckert That's why scammers used it, yeah.

fbueckert

@Ullallulloo I sometimes wish there was a way to hold people accountable for their actions.

Much of this would be a non-issue if they realized someone could show up to their door with a shotgun.

Ullallulloo

@fbueckert Most of the scammers were probably from Russia or something though.

winterswift

@fbueckert Technically you can, it's just murder. But remember, it only takes a few to scare the rest of them (terrorism!).

fbueckert

3:52 AM

@Ullallulloo That's even better, because their version of justice involves shotguns already!

Ullallulloo

Although, I don't know any place that would get you with a shotgun to you...

The main thing was adding chat logs like badp said earlier.

But 100 MB's a lot for that, considering Pidgin's like 14.

winterswift

@Ullallulloo Didn't it already have chatlogs optionally?

Ullallulloo

@winterswift Not until today or yesterday.

Ben Brocka

@Ullallulloo aww I used that

And I usually didn't scam people

winterswift

@BenBrocka You know, except for that one time with the 50,000 dol—...yeah, nevermind.

Fluttershy

3:56 AM

Bug fixed!

@Ullallulloo I never got one of those. <_< Ever.

Ben Brocka

Record video of self playing Dishonored, realize what a psycho you look like while playing it

Fluttershy

@BenBrocka high-five

Ullallulloo

@Fluttershy I don't think I have either, but I doubt you have much worth in TF2 items.

Fluttershy

@BenBrocka What do you think of it so far?

@Ullallulloo I do not.

Ben Brocka

I like it except being non-lethal seems pretty hard so I've been going for the kill-everyone route. But as I learn more it does'nt seem as bad as it did at first for non-lethal

I like that being seen once isn't an absolute utter failure which screws you over forever

and the powers look cool but I don't have many yet. I want possession

Fluttershy

3:59 AM

@BenBrocka I like that too! =D It has a nice Arkham Asylum balance to the stealth, I think.

Ben Brocka

Also the most fun I've had in the game so far was drugging a maid and using her unconscious body to clear a table

2

Fluttershy

Possession is meh. Useful for finding runes and bone charms, but... Other than that, I often get stomped on. =(

Ben Brocka

That's what maids are for right?

winterswift

@BenBrocka Wat.

Fluttershy

@BenBrocka Cleaning. Yes.

Ben Brocka

4:01 AM

I also used her to break every pane of glass in the house (which she survived)

does Sleep wear off or stay forever effectively?

@Fluttershy disapointing, then. Which skills should I unlock first?

Q: How do you use the Moster Gold Medal?

In Knights of Pen and Paper ... I have a "Moster Gold Medal" that states "Can fight 7 monsters in battle". I've equipped it onto one of the party members. I can still only fight 5 monsters in battle. Is there something else that needs to be done? Does every member of the party have to have ...

knights-of-pen-and-paper

SaintWacko

@BenBrocka I don't know what this is about, but I like it

@BenBrocka See, I like having to go pure stealth. When playing SC: Conviction, I play the mode where if you're detected, its game over

Mana

For those who are still unaware...@PicnicButton is @GnomeSlice.

fbueckert

@Mana Oh, he's going to hate you for telling us.

Ben Brocka

@SaintWacko the game makes that pretty tricky. Not many non-lethal methods. Though I did manage to play through all of MGS 4 undetected, mostly so I could get the invisibility thing

Mana

@fbueckert be quiet. he told me to tell you. And I don't like the way you guys treat him sometimes.

SaintWacko

4:26 AM

@BenBrocka Oh, nothing wrong with lethality

Mana

He's one of my best friends, in case you've forgotten that.

SaintWacko

@Mana I actually did not know that

fbueckert

@Mana I hadn't known that to begin with.

SaintWacko

He seems like a pretty great guy

Ben Brocka

@SaintWacko the game draws the line more between lethal/nonlethal. If you're not stealthy enough either way you'll either die or have to make very good use of your powers to make people dead/make your escape

SaintWacko

4:30 AM

@BenBrocka Ah, I see

Ben Brocka

and there's always multiple ways to do most missions with varying levels of stealth or lethality

Trent Hawkins

Ok - despite my best efforts I cannot play KSP on this computer. Once I reach 120 m/s the game freezes for a few seconds, and then there's explosions.

fbueckert

@TrentHawkins Unexplained explosions are the best kind!

user15026

@TrentHawkins Hm. I am all for things going boom, but that seems suboptimal.

Ben Brocka

Basically how I played New Vegas too

Trent Hawkins

4:41 AM

@AshleyNunn Yeah, I'm all for explosions, if I can watch them happen.... but seeing my ship explode at 0.02 fps does not help me with the why.

user15026

@winterswift Oops. Yeah, I need something that scares me to wakefulness

Tim Stone

Now you just have to find something that needs to bake in the oven for eight hours so you can wake up to delicious foodstuffs.

user15026

@TimStone That would be perfect XD

winterswift

If anyone can come up with something that isn't a thirty-pound ham or a block of clay...

user15026

7:33 AM

@winterswift Hey at least ham is tasty

winterswift

@AshleyNunn Yes, the problem is when it breaks your oven rack and falls on the element.

user15026

@winterswift yeah...that would be somewhat problematic.

winterswift

@AshleyNunn Or catches on fire. Whichever comes first. On the other hand, at least you could profit from the insurance money!

user15026

@winterswift I suppose, but that sounds like a bit of a hassle. XD although waking up to the smell of ham is not the worst idea ever

@Ullallulloo Although I suppose they could wake you up, offer you a muffin, and proceed to light you and/or your house on fire. Which would be a pretty weird arson tactic.

I want to specifically restrict it to 'multithreading' application in directxSDK sample browser? This is to unde...

Q: Java graphics are flashing

I have a strange problem regarding Java programming. I programming a Java game based on some code of David Brackeens book (see: http://www.brackeen.com/javagamebook/). At first I was developing under Linux (Ubuntu) but when I recently moved to Windows 7, the game stopped working properly. The pro...

@kalina Delete ALL the things?

kalina

yes

kalina

oh well that's boring

my EVE skill training still hasn't finished

Mad Scientist

@kalina It's never finished ;-)

kalina

At least I got CCP to give me all my free remaps back

and I have +4 to each stat from cybernetics

Mad Scientist

I'm currently training a 20 day skill

kalina

makes quite a big difference to learning

eugh 20 days

I'm learning cybernetics 5 which is a 10 day skill with my attributes

so that I can get +5 from implants

Mad Scientist

@kalina Cybernetics V isn't really worth it unless you want to use pirat faction implants.

kalina

and speed everything up as much as possible

I'm not bothered about the secondary bonuses atm

I'm just interested as getting as many skill points in as short a period of time as possible

Mad Scientist

You need roughly a year I think to gain more from +5 implants than you spent for training Cybernetics 5

And +5 implants are too expensive (at least for me) to use in PvP

kalina

10:58 AM

well c'est la vie

it seemed like a good idea at the time

Mad Scientist

If you do mostly PvE and play for longer than a year, it would be worth it

kalina

once I've learned all the intelligence/memory things I want I'm going to remap to willpower/perception and learn ship stuff

Mad Scientist

Did you already remap?

kalina

I did, I used all of my remaps, then raised a support ticket, claimed I was a noob and got them all back

I have as many points as I can get in intelligence, and everything else in memory atm

Mad Scientist

That's a good remap for Electronics/Mechanics/Engineering and reasonable for Navigation

kalina

11:01 AM

yeah I have science level 5, mechanics level 5 and cybernetics is 2 days from level 5

then I'm going to do electronics and all of the fun stuff related to those three

Mad Scientist

You'll have a problem flying anything without the Per/Will skills though, so you char will be rather ineffective until you remap. But you'll learn faster

kalina

well I am playing path of exile atm, I don't see it as much of a problem

I had my mining ship blown up lastnight while I was tabbed out of the game

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Is Path of Exile going to be F2P?

kalina

It taught me that I shouldn't mute eve

yes PoE is free to play with microtransactions for aesthetic stuff

and they're apparently not deleting characters from open beta

so anything you do now should carry through to the live game

Mad Scientist

@kalina That happens, I don't mine but I thought the new mining ships could put up more of a tank, which makes it far more expensive for the suicide gankers

kalina

11:04 AM

well I was tabbed out, for 20 minutes or so

I doubt any ship would survive 20 minutes of being attacked

and I don't mine either, I was just doing it so that when I start playing I have a stockpile of isk

Mad Scientist

@kalina If you're in high-sec, they have 5-30 seconds until CONCORD blows them up

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

How are you finding it so far?

kalina

@MadScientist doesn't apply to NPC ships though right?

@YiJiang'sEvilClone which game?
