@AshleyNunn Since you were not around earlier when I linked it lily allen has a new song/video and it is the best thing

Q: Is there any point in using Agility if your speed is already faster?

0

If I know my pokemon is faster than anyone else's on their team, does having agility on my moveset help at all? Would I ever be able to strike twice in one turn? How is this calculated if so

Also

as a person who is completely uninvolved with recent events I would like to take a moment to appreciate this community's always understated ability to take privileges afforded to them with grace and responsibility

always using them for the bettereven when they would allow you to post the Divina Commedia as a question and as an answer

and then you have to scroll a lot to flag the posts and won't they please fix it by yesterday or we'll switch the site off.

Thank you all for being so especially non-special.

@badp Wait, what?

user15026

@badp Now I am trying to think of a way I could legit post it somehow :P

Also, couldn't you CTRL+F "flag" to find the flag button more quickly?

I'll take your silence as the sign that you're stripping all the formatting off Wikisource so that I can have more users to destroy, which also makes me happy but in a different way

Q: How can I launch Enemy Within from a shortcut?

0

Ever since downloading Enemy Within, launching the game via steam shortcut instead takes me to a launcher where I must specify Enemy Within or Enemy Unknown. Is there a way to skip this middle step and launch Enemy Within directly?

Yay. Got another update about Star Command that's essentially, "We're working on it. Please be patient."

Even though it's now over a year overdue.

user15026

@fbueckert Oh my god, seriously?

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn Yup.

user15026

Normally I would say it is messed up that that is happenning, but honestly, I expect no less

user15026

12:38 AM

Class tonight is making me want to find more of The Who and listen to it, because it feels like a thing I would like

@badp wat.

Also, end key.

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn Yeah, the devs seem to be doing everything wrong.

@AshleyNunn The Who are pretty great, even if Pete Townsend has some very bad excuses for having a child porn collection.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz I tend to ignore a lot of the personal stuff of the bands I listen to, and just listen to the music for its own sake. Not sure if that is the best approach, but it works for me

user15026

Although I am not sure where to start with their stuff, so I will just poke about and see what I like

@AshleyNunn Relevant.

Q: How do I activate a scroll?

0

Is it a button? Do I have to be a specific class? I know how to put it in my inventory or hold it out in front of me (c) and even how to store it in a Hall or Crate but not how to actually activate the thing. For example, a scroll for a Drill in Take the Halls can be bought from the old man's ...

@AshleyNunn Start with Tommy and Quadrophenia.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz See, this is why I mentioned it here - I figured you of all people would be able to point me in a direction

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz Some sort of warning on this might be good, IDK

@AshleyNunn People should know that classic rock stars were largely prt monstrous.

user15026

12:46 AM

True enough, I suppose

err... what we follow and admire are their careers, not their personal life...

user15026

I mostly just like how music sounds, I rarely give a shit about the people who make it - they aren't what I am there for, I am there for the sound and that experience

@Braiam These things are not as easily separable as people wish they were.

@LessPop_MoreFizz exactly my point..

my father doesn't like Michael Jackson (person) with all his might... but he likes Michael Jackson (the artist) songs...

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz I am not sure that is entirely true

user15026

12:54 AM

I rarely know more than the name of the people making the music I like, because who they are and what they do doesn't matter to me, I just want the aural expereience

0

Q: Pokemon attack powers

If I had an electric Pokemon knowing Thunderbolt (pwr: 90) and Ancient Power (pwr:60) and was facing against any pokemon except where electric does x0 damage, would Thunderbolt "always" be the better move unless I can get x4 damage with the rock move? (Ancient Power is a Special rock type move) ...

pokemon

user15026

its why I dont super care about going to concerts - I have the music at home where I can listen how I like, I dont need to be surrounded by people and see it live to be happy

@AshleyNunn I hear what you're saying, but it ignores the fundamental truth that you are engaging in commerce with people.

Unless you are a filthy pirate, in which case, I have other things to say.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz Just because I happen to throw money at Bandcamp or iTunes or use Jango or YouTube doesn't mean I give a flying shit about the people who make it or what they do when they aren't making the music I like

user15026

I literally have no connection or understanding or care about it

user15026

12:57 AM

Sometimes music people die or do terrible things but SO DO PEOPLE in just about every other industry or whatever ever

user15026

people suck

user15026

Me buying their music is not me condoning whatever the hell they do, it is me saying "I like this aural experience and would like to have a copy of it for myself"

@AshleyNunn See, this is the attitude I do not understand. To be clear: I do business with all manner of people and corporations and entities that do all kinds of horrible things. But I want to know about those things, because it does influence my decisions as to whether and how much to do business with them. Conscious consumption is the only way I can morally be at peace with the idea of consumption at all. The whole "I DON'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT ANY OF IT" thing is just incomprehensible to me.

@AshleyNunn apparently, turtles too

It just is literally a thing I am fundamentally incapable of groking.

1:00 AM

@Braiam That @Wipqozn guy is such a jerk.

aye

It matters to me that I understand where the things I am buying come from.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz I would like to make it very clear, because you are seeming to make an assumption that a lot of people make, that I am not a ostrich. I get that people do terrible things but to be perfectly bloddy honest if I stopped doing everything just because someone involved was terrible, I would do....pretty much nothing

Even if - especially if, it morally compromises me.

user15026

1:01 AM

To me, I can detach the people and their shitty attitudes and behaviour from teh fact that fucking hell, some music just makes my brain do really fucking wonderful things

@AshleyNunn I never once suggested you stop engaging in said commerce.

You might want to read what I said again.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz I know you didn't

user15026

I never said you did that.

user15026

I am just saying that I dont do things the way you do. I choose not to think about it because if I do, I will spend the entirety of my existence hiding in my room because all I will be able to see is how fucking terrible just about everything in the world is

user15026

So I pick and choose what I want to pay attention to, and the fucked up lives of many musicians is one of those things I choose to willfully ignore (despite my awareness, if I end up with it from outside sources) because to me, all I want is the music

user15026

1:04 AM

I dont care what the people do

My point is that I am fundamentally unsatisfied by that vague assumption of "I probably do business with monsters." I want to know who the specific monsters I do business with are and in what way they are monstrous. I want to understand this so that I can own the moral consequences of my actions, rather than try to not think about them. It's a difficult thing to do, but I tend to think it's worth it.

user15026

People are terrible everywhere

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz And I don't.

@AshleyNunn And I acknowledge that, but I can't say I truly understand it. I don't think I ever will. :P

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz That's fair, it just felt like you were trying to convince/attack me for not ascribing to that

user20683

1:05 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz what do you Myers Briggs as?

I just assume everyone is horrible and leave them at that until I find out otherwise.

@WorldEngineer It has been a very, very, very long time since i've taken it.

@WorldEngineer That test is dumb.

user20683

@OrigamiRobot it's not statistically valid. There's a difference.

I stand by what I said.

user20683

1:06 AM

wait you're an engineer...no there's no difference. :P

And it's also dumb.

user20683

@Unionhawk So we can go over to Cog Sci and enact the "dumb" tag?

user15026

Lets do it :D Nothing bad will ever happen there

Yes. On everything. Same as we should invoke games.

user15026

Yes!

user15026

1:08 AM

ONE TAG TO RULE THEM ALL

@WorldEngineer I don't even know what that means.

user20683

@OrigamiRobot things which are not statistically valid are not evidenced. No evidence = unsound engineering = dumb

I don't believe in statistics

Q: When does the EXALT faction appear in XCOM: Enemy Within?

When does the EXALT faction appear in XCOM: Enemy Within? Is it random or after a specific "story point," research milestone, or council mission?

Q: How do I earn medals to award my squaddies?

Enemy Within introduces the concept of medals -- minor, customizable bonuses that you can bestow upon worthy soldiers from the barracks. However, such medals are limited quantity - how do you earn more? I believe that you earn one International Service Medal for every council mission undertaken...

xcom-enemy-unknown xcom-enemy-within

@WorldEngineer Out of curiosity, what answer were you expecting?

user20683

1:19 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz not sure. Just a hobby of mine, you're definitely an N.

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk I really am.

@WorldEngineer Internet via first google hit sez ENTP which doesn't feel far off.

user20683

@LessPop_MoreFizz that makes sense

I am an ISFP apparently

Tom Scharpling is the best.

@LessPop_MoreFizz That title, what.

@GnomeSlice It's from the new Cartoon Network series from one of the Adventure Time people.

1:44 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh boy...

On which Tom Scharpling does voice work and gets to sing an awesome song.

I never really watched adventure time though. I saw a couple with one of my friends who really liked it.

it snowed

for like 15 minutes

Ullallulloo

I think I got INTP last time I took it.

user15026

1:46 AM

@spugsley Is this a yay or boo thing?

It snowed here too. And my 9 am was not canceled as a result. I am displeased by this.

I... think I need to reinstall my OS.

user15026

@Yuki Oh dear

Oh dear.

bah

:P

This Visual Studio rollback has taken 24 hours.

And still hasn't completed.

1:47 AM

@AshleyNunn it was yay :) I likes snow. We were on our way to eat sushi for date night and it started snowing!

user15026

@Yuki That does not sound good

Yeah. Not to mention my graphics card problems.

I think I need to get a new graphics card and re-install my OS.

user15026

@spugsley I would like snow if it didnt mean cold, but that does make for a cute date night yay moment

@AshleyNunn It's not even that cold. It was a pretty random snow

@AshleyNunn it was :3

user15026

1:49 AM

Here it is getting to be stupid winter cold and I am not even remotely a fan of that

@AshleyNunn Serves you right for living in Canada.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz I suppose so

This question could fit multiple close reasons. It is literally asking which product (distribution platform) meets certain criteria (most money to devs). It is a game dev question (marketing and distribution are part of development). It is Too Broad (we can't list every distribution method). Primarily Opinion Based was definitely the weakest reason to close it, but it could still be argued. The intentions are noble, but it is not a good fit for our site. — OrigamiRobot 11 hours ago

user15026

I mostly am trying to find ways to keep my legs warmer - I can wear like a tshirt+sweater+coat+hat to keep my top half warm, but my legs always freeze

@AshleyNunn Cat on lap.

user15026

1:52 AM

@OrigamiRobot Only works if I am in my houe!

@AshleyNunn Find the nearest living thing and put it in your lap.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot grabs nearby student, gets in trouble

@AshleyNunn ......*and puts it in her lap*

@AshleyNunn Why would you get in trouble?

:o

1:54 AM

I'd be flattered.

On the whole of the GTS everyone wants Xerneas.

user15026

@spugsley That was implied, but yes

You want a Shellder? Xerneas please. Tentacool? Xerneas.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot I am not sure just anyone would be okay snuggled in my lap, as awesome as I am

@StrixVaria I could get you either one of those.

But I'd need a Xerneas.

1:55 AM

@Yuki :(

I can't catch Shellder in X.

@StrixVaria I have a Xerneas I can't get rid of.

@StrixVaria I have a few, I think.

I haven't looked up where Tentacool is yet but I figured I'd check the GTS since it would be quick.

@StrixVaria Tentacool's in Azure Bay.

@StrixVaria You got X? What a monster.

1:56 AM

@OrigamiRobot I didn't pick.

My wife bought it for me.

I see.

Does she have Y?

27 secs ago, by OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria You got X? What a monster.

@Yuki I could also use HP/Atk/Sp.Atk/Sp.Def Dittos :)

@AshleyNunn I hear laptop computers, when used as directed BY THEIR NAME are quite warm.

Just kidding, I got X myself.

1:57 AM

The one you gave me was Def/Spe.

Rargh, lemme finish my Nuzlocke run~

I will trade you lots of Sigilyphs.

It's a nice break from all the breeding I've been doing.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz Then it is at a low weird angle to type :P

it is working for me.

Manage.

1:58 AM

@StrixVaria Not speed?

1 min ago, by StrixVaria

The one you gave me was Def/Spe.

@AshleyNunn I like to make things blatant just for the lols I'M SORRRRYYY

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz Why manage when I can complain on the internet

user15026

@spugsley Dont be, you are amazing :D

@StrixVaria Oh Oh Oh, I see

1:58 AM

@AshleyNunn YOU ARE TOO!

user15026

Yay!

user20683

@AshleyNunn Can I be snuggled in your lap? is cold

I have so many Sigilyphs.

user15026

@WorldEngineer If you weren't in America, I would say yes!

@StrixVaria Why? Have you been breeding them?

1:59 AM

I'm afraid my HTPC is dead. It's not even posting after swapping out a CPU fan and heatsink

I keep seeing more things in this lily allen video when I rematch it

@Yuki Yeah but it was painfully slow without Dittos.

user15026

But that strikes me as logistically tricky

I was able to get Sp.Atk/Def/Spe

Then I stopped and just EV trained that one.

I should actually look into competitive movesets though.

I just put 4 attacking moves on stuff and hope for the best.

@StrixVaria Cosmic Power, Stored Power, Psycho Shift, Roost.

2:00 AM

@StrixVaria Do you want adamant Pawniard or Larvitar?

So, I renamed my Tyrantum to "G.I. Jho".

@Yuki I know where to look (smogon); I just ignore it. My Sigilyph has Psychic, Dazzling Gleam, Ice Beam, and Air Slash.

@OrigamiRobot I kind of want to use Pawniard but I already kind of trained an Aggron and I don't need another 4x fighting weakness.

Fighting is the worst.

The first 3 pokemon I EV trained for battle maison were Pyroar, Exploud, and Aggron.

My Tyranitar is named after @spugsley

2:03 AM

After I was done, I realized all 3 are weak to fighting.

So I replaced Exploud with Sigilyph.

Next up I have to replace Pyroar with something not shitty.

All the best types are weak to stupid Fighting.

I should use that grass/ghost thing.

Trevenant.

@StrixVaria Or Gourgeist.

@Yuki Trevenant looks cooler.

Another issue I have with battle maison is that I really don't like to use OU pokemon.

Hence me having an Exploud.

Q: What are some strategies in Pokemon to build a competitive party?

2

So, I've been playing Pokemon since the first generation was released in the US when I was maybe 9 years old. I've recently stated to get back into Pokemon, but the thing is my strategy is still the same one I had when I was 9, and as you can imagine, it's not very complex. But in discussions wit...

pokemon

also, hello

Gah, poor timing

2:10 AM

@StrixVaria I don't know anything about the tiers, I just use pokemon that look cool.

Or are types I like.

@OrigamiRobot I pick pokemon that I think look cool or have cool typings, and that I don't see a lot of other people using.

BRIDGE I AM HOME

I think my next project is going to be a Leafeon.

user15026

@Fluttershy Huzzah!

@StrixVaria Since I have no idea what other people use, all pokemon fit the last one for me.

2:13 AM

@AshleyNunn ...

Are we talking about snuggles?

Is there an equivalent to Battle Factory in gen 6?

user15026

@Ktash Not everyone wants a giantess to cuddle in the middle of a history of pop music class. Thier loss :P

user15026

@Fluttershy I want snuggles because I am cold

@OrigamiRobot I like interesting combos.

2:14 AM

That's where you get a random team to battle with, and you can swap out guys occasionally.

@AshleyNunn Did you click the link...

user15026

@Ktash I did, but the image doesnt work

@AshleyNunn :(

I was raising my hand

user15026

(At least, I don't think I was supposed to see a white box)

Straight damage dealers kinda bore me, but a set takes massive advantage of a single ability or something is always interesting.

2:15 AM

WOOHOO!!!! HTPC isn't dead! #awesome

user15026

@Ktash Hahaha you, like @WorldEngineer are too far away or I would say yes

user15026

@MBraedley Yaaaaaaaaaay

Gimmicks are fun even though they aren't always reliable.

Just needed to jiggle the new heatsink

@AshleyNunn Just volunteering. For future reference

2:17 AM

I still can't believe I'm going to try to breed a perfect Scatterbug when I'm done with this Nuzlocke run.

user15026

@Ktash I will keep that in mind :)

@Jin I'm sure it could be

user15026

2:35 AM

@RedRiderX I like my plant! I dont wanna kill it

@AshleyNunn Indeed.

@AshleyNunn But it wants to kill you~

user15026

@Yuki Entirely possible, I trust nothing in Fallen London

@AshleyNunn Have you not seen someone about it?

user15026

@RedRiderX About my plant? A couple times

2:36 AM

@AshleyNunn Also, have you met the Melancholy Curate?

@AshleyNunn Don't you remember what they said?

user15026

@RedRiderX Is he the one with the sister?

user15026

@RedRiderX Vaguely

@AshleyNunn Ah well never mind then.

@AshleyNunn Yep.

Although they aren't really...

user15026

@RedRiderX I seduced them both, yes

Wait spoilers.

@AshleyNunn Dang.

2:39 AM

Ugh, nothing teaches you to love your second screen for programming quite like losing it.

That's impressive.

user15026

@RedRiderX I am very persuasive. I am seducing my way though Fallen London and it is working well

@AshleyNunn But don't you just have to build up Investigating for that final test?

user15026

@RedRiderX I honestly don't remember, but I know pursuasion has helped me seduce a bunch of people

Did you guys set up your Fallen London accounts with Twitter or email?

Or Facebook?

2:41 AM

@Yuki Email, I guess.

user15026

I forget. Email, I think

Though I don't use it to invite people.

No one I email stuff to would really be into Fallen London I think.

I have another job interview tomorrow

user20683

@GnomeSlice You'll do fine. Just be as enthused as you are when you link the latest game you're into.

That is seriously the best advice. Do that.

I guess...

@GnomeSlice What's the job description, if you don't mind me asking

3:04 AM

@MBraedley It's just a seasonal sales thing at Target.

Grunt work. Nothing fancy.

I have never even had a job like that before though so I'm still nervous

@GnomeSlice Yeah, I hate doing interviews too.

I had fun at the on-site interviews for Google.

The phone screens were terrifying, though.

@StrixVaria phone interviews are the worst

My problem is I have all this education in multimedia

And they're like wat

user20683

@GnomeSlice I've worked in retail for 7 years. It's not that hard.

3:11 AM

I am notoriously bad at things I have no experience with

Except for video games for some reason

user20683

persuade them to stuff you into the electronics section if you can

Heh

Yeah maybe

user20683

you should know enough about all of that stuff to be able to effectively sell

Especially for a seasonal Target person, yeah

Eh, maybe.

user20683

3:13 AM

the most important rule is to listen to the customer enough so that they feel like they are being listened to.

I am like the least overbearing person ever
