9:00 AM
As much as I enjoy Skyrim, Bethesda really needs to work on some better friend-or-foe determination. Or have a crap-ton more factions. Wizard lady at the top of the tower chews me out for interrupting her work and killing "many of" her students. Yeah, well you know what your students did the SECOND they saw me? yeah, not feeling very sorry.
 
play better games
like mass effect
 
@kalina I played mass effect... although never finished after a crash erased all progress on a particularly long segment.
 
-.-
 
That's also why I've never seen the end of most of the Final Fantasy games... I get into a bit of a rhythm, forget to save for a couple hours, screw up... don't feel like doing that over again.
 
I didn't have many issues with mass effect crashing
my problem was exiting the game
for some reason on my pc
when I run the game for a few hours, it refuses to quit
and will just stay running
have to reboot my pc
so I end up playing from start to finish to minimise reboots
 
9:08 AM
Why exit the game at all?
Are you saying you don't have enough RAM to keep ME in memory permanently?
 
because I sleep next to my PC and graphics cards fans are noisy
 
@kalina I don't recall having any crashing issues until that one crash. Which Is probably why I wasn't hammering the f5 key all the time. :P
 
with the first one there's no reason why they don't autosave or something during all of the vastly boring elevator scenes
 
@kal Hibernate your PC overnight?
 
there's no need to use that kind of language in public
 
9:11 AM
If you're going to leave your computer on you might as well be mining dogecoins overnight
 
...
I have a 33 day uptime so far
 
Many idle, very mine
 
probably need to reboot for windows updates at somep oint
 
@fredley If you are going to use your idle cpu time, use it for something usefull like folding@home or something.
 
Installing update 35 of 4183...
 
9:13 AM
seti@home or idle
 
@arp But, but...
Seti? Srsly?
 
...
I need to find my people
 
Folding@home would be my choice
 
what is with the drum and bass on the radio today
 
But my pc is rather crap and loud, so idling with some things CPU intensive is a big no
@kal Radio, eugh.
 
9:15 AM
radio 1 representing the DNB massifs
 
Get some real d&b in you
 
I'm not in control of the sounds
 
Dungeons and Bass
Neither are you on not-lowest-common-denominator radio stations
 
GREAT VICTORY
I've pushed the conversation in a direction I can contribute to
no more dungeons and dragons conversation
now we're talking about music
 
TOO BAD, BACK TO DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS
 
9:18 AM
just need a little more effort
 
I have a friend who roasted multiple GPU's with folding@home combined with heavy overclocking.
 
and then we can talk about my little pony

Q: Exit fullscreen Assasins creed 4?

RyanI'm curious on how to exit full screen while still being able to play the game (windowed mode). I need to be able to develop my game, use facebook, & skype while still playing the game at the same time. Anyone know how to do this? I've tried setting it to only use one monitor but it still takes...

 
FREDLEY USES SILENCE, 15' RADIUS
 
@Arperum this is why I don't overclock
I leave my pc unattended for long periods of time in a confined space
 
9:19 AM
@kalina I haven't touched GPU overclocking much.
 
@Arp did he solve any proteins?
 
sat on top of another pc that releases more heat due to it being full of amd hardware
I would rather not burn my room down
 
Lies
 
no lies
 
You are Lila (Dexter)
Burn everything down all the time
 
9:20 AM
my fire is very controlled
 
Oxymoron
 
nope
 
@arp no thank you
 
more low quality posts please
 
9:22 AM
He is in the top 1.5k worldwide and he has barely done anything the last months.
 
need 38 for gold badge
 
You going to be a Marshall?
 
@fredley He has 37,046,250 points from completing research.
 
...
I got the marshall badge nearly instantly
20k tools are so useful for flag farming
I'm talking about my second steward badge
 
Badges are super lame versions of hats.
 
9:25 AM
@Sterno but less so if they give you a hat.
 
I need 20 meta upvotes for a hat
wtb upvotes
 
Post something awesome
 
@kalina says it has 20 votes too
 
yeah it needs 40
 
9:26 AM
Good luck with that.
 
I hate you
stamps feet
 
My highest is a 24
 
And yeah that sucks about the C&C game
My friends worked at that studio :(
 
There are only 15 40+ answers on meta
Clearly you should have answered this one
Why that needed 47 upvotes, I don't know
 
@Sterno wouldn't have been helpful for this competition though would it
 
9:29 AM
Nope
 
in fact, if I had waited just a week for some of my posts that I made the week before winterbash
 
Clearly you should ask if ITG questions still suck and answer "Yes"
 
I would have the hat for stealing checkmark
the hat for gold badge
before it was cool
 
I got lucky with that one
 
and others
 
9:30 AM
I missed out on a lot of the question/answer ones by doing a bunch of Starbound stuff right before the contest started
I took a shot at Archaeologist tonight. One vote to go!
I also a have one with tumbleweed potential
 
@Sterno link
 
@kalina I'll earn it the old fashioned way or not at all!
(besides, it's a mediocre answer)
 
mowning
 
@Sterno I've found this post, I'm going to comment on it
 
Rob
quick question, If questions are tagged with the game in question then they shouldnt also have the name int he Question title itself. Is that right?
 
9:32 AM
or... meta vote
+blackmail
 
@kalina You're the worst.
 
@Sterno i like your hat and the way it blocks kalinas profile
 
Rob
so, this oine should be edited, : gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/147056/…
 
@Sterno would give your rep for that if i could
 
@Wandang That was strategic!
 
Rob
9:32 AM
I was going to do it, but it seemed a bit trivial. If it's the style here then I'll go ahead and make the small edit
 
it's a horrible title
 
@Rob They don't need it but it doesn't hurt anything
 
and a horrible question
 
But yes, horrible title.
 
who decides the outcome of a metaquestion?
 
9:33 AM
@kalina Yes.
 
i could mark the opionion i want as answer but thats bs
 
@Sterno upvoted
@Wandang votes
 
All that that question contains is basically: Can I play the game in windowed mode?
 
Rob
They are trying to do some serious multi-tasking...
Play AC4, develop another game and a whole bunch of other stuff...
 
I wonder how long you have to keep the checkmark to count as stealing it
 
9:35 AM
@Rob You can probably add "Do copyright infridgement on AC4" to the list
 
Because I could totally go abuse some question I asked for like 10 minutes
:P
 
@Sterno I'd say, you have to keep it until you get the hat.
 
@Sterno do I have any unaccepted answers on your questions?
 
I'll check.
Probably not though
Answer might also have to be posted during winter bash
 
yeah I'm trying to work that out
@sterno I havey our tembleweed candidate open
I feel like being so evil
 
9:42 AM
@kalina Can't find one.

Q: What Happen If my HH Showcase house full?

Sabil ValdanoJust Curious What Happen if Happy Home Showcase Slot is full with house, and I get other streetpass? it'll dissapear randomly or by the time of streetpass? any further information about this?

 
but instead of performing the action myself, I'm going to promote it so it gets loads of views
 
Now I'll try to find one where you DO have the accepted answer. And take it away. And give it back.
 
:D
@Sterno I doubt that will work
 
ALthough it's entirely possible you've never answered one of my questions
 
9:43 AM
I might just post an answer on somebody's question and get them to temporarily give me the checkmark until I get the hat, then delete it again
 
oh, wait, there was a payday 2 one
 
@Sterno I wonder if I can steal the checkmark from myself?
 
We could try.
 
if you didn't fail so much
 
9:44 AM
None of your answers to my payday 2 questions have any other answers
 
that would have been funny
 
Could someone answer a rather difficult question?
 
Stupid Chrome, not copying http://
 
Short question.
 
@ErraticFox damn that's a hard question
 
9:44 AM
kindof.
 
@fredley the link kinda gives that away...
 
@Sterno link
 
@kalina how about this one
 
@tombull89 Somewhere there's presumably someone who still hasn't learned
 
upvote it too
 
9:45 AM
Okay, so I have two Steam accounts. The old one has all my TF2 items. I want one item from that account for my new account. I can't find a way to move it to my new account. I've tried client with web but it gives me a error..
 
doubt you can leave it at 0
and now we wait for hats
 
This is what happens when my daughter has a 103 fever and keeps me up all night. I do stupid things with hats at 4am
 
@Sterno lol yeah it's silly am in the morning for you isn't it
 
@fredley Starred it because I know Gnome will click it
 
I trolled gnome so much over that hat
 
9:47 AM
Any ideas? :s
 
@ErraticFox is it tradable?
 
Yes.
 
@ErraticFox two pc's with steam installed? trade it over.
 
It's the bow for the sniper
 
then add your new account as a friend of your old account and trade it with him
if you don't have two pcs, run one copy of steam in a virtual machine
 
9:48 AM
BRILLIANT
YOU BRILLIANT SOB
 
now post it as a question on the site
 
and rep cap again
so that I can answer it
 
omg r srs m8
 
messages out of order error: blame spam limiter
no I'm not serious
 
9:49 AM
...
 
-.-
 
@ErraticFox ALL of the TLAs!
 
I don't know if serious about that...
 
I mean you can if you want but I really don't care either way
 
@ErraticFox kalina is on drugs, dont trust her!
 
9:49 AM
:|
 
I DON'T DO DRUGS
(anymore)
 
Well, Archaeologist just floated in.
 
@Wandang silkroad shut down
No drugs for kalina
 
You guys are alright...
 
@Sterno gz!
 
9:50 AM
@kalina Work screens?
 
@Sterno no silk road shut down and I can't be bothered with bad deals for shit product
also that's not the actual reason
I moved in with my friend and he's anti-drugs
it was a condition of free accommodation
 
What drugs, if you mind?
 
weed, coke, mdma, ecstasy, ketamine, amphetamines
I duno, it's hard to keep track
 
annnnd... daughter's awake again. whee
 
@Sterno oxygen rich environment is good for sleeping
 
9:53 AM
I've only done weed and pills, that was a while back when I was in high school. Those times tho.
 
@kalina and/or tiny bit of whiskey. Works like a charm.
 
Never really caught hook of them though...
 
@Sterno @kalina so fart in her face
 
@Wandang she said oxygen rich, not methane rich.
 
@KevinvanderVelden i mean to make her sleepy again
 
9:55 AM
back in 10
 
This is a nice chat. Nice format also. Stack Exchange never displeases.
 
@ErraticFox excepting mobile chat :)
 
Hmm?
 
Mobile chat is, apparently, the worst. I've never really used it myself.
 
9:59 AM
The only time I'd ever get on SE is because I'm bored or need help. I have other things to do on my phone when I'm bored other than be on here x)
 
@ErraticFox yeah the chat is quite nice
Stack Exchange probably takes up more than 60% of the time I'm on the internet
 
I love it and their mass of websites. Because I'm into HTML and CSS and learning Java and programming.
 
I don't really pay attention to any of their sites other than Arqade
because I try to avoid development stuff
@sterno doesn't look like this is going to work

Q: Hardware solution for dual-boxing in gaming?

Emily AdlerI have searched high and low for a hardware solution to dual-boxing when playing MMO and so far I have only come up with Vetra (http://www.vetra.com/wow.html). And that is just much too expensive. Can it truly be that no other solution has been made? (No software solution please. I have investig...

 
@kalina Try answering one of my questions, I'll move the check until hats happen.

Q: See the Stages in Black Ops II Singleplayer

andrewmoloI want to be able to select a particular stage in black ops 2. I want to start playing from where the plane carrying the president was hit by drones.

 
Also SO stickers
My laptop is now the envy of all non-SO sticker-owning developers
 
@fredley naah, it's still a laptop
 
@KevinvanderVelden SO code-faster stripes!
 
10:20 AM
@fredley on a laptop boooring.
 
@KevinvanderVelden It gets toted around to presentations and the like
More visibility
 
@kalina Reverted the checkmark
 
@fredley this is a plus, get some giant arqade stickers on it
 
Oh I forgot to mention, there's a Stack Exchange hat in here
@KevinvanderVelden I have those too, as well as a G.SE heart.
PIXELATED HEART FO LYFE
 
@fredley I demand a picture.
 
10:22 AM
All the SE things
 
I now have 20 hats, which means I shouldn't have 20 hats!
 
@fredley ... I should add a tiny (arduino driven) LCD screen just to show the G.SE heart
 
@kalina Now I stole the checkmark (from my own question, to an answer I'd already posted and received upvotes on prior to winter bash) to see if that works
 
hello
any ACNL player here?

A: Predictions for Stack Exchange in 2015

GEOCHETI predict all of the sites will be infested by references to ponies.

 
@sterno lets roll back the change we made to that question
put the checkmark on the original answer I'll get rid of the new one
ah you already have
cool
 
Are we gaming Marauder in here?
 
trying to
just working out all of the requirements
we're calling it testing, not gaming
 
Of course, if our testing produces the hat, it's not like we can give it back...
:)
This is Arqade. We're gaming experts!
 
@Arperum I have nothing that would even remotely look like an answer to put on one of your questions
 
10:32 AM
@kal I can answer some of yours
If you've got a candidate that needs a better answer I'm happy to oblige
 
Hrm. I like the IG-88 hat.
 
10:44 AM
@Sterno Which is that?
 
@sterno do you have a question I can answer for a game I know that isn't answered by RavenDreamer?
 
11:03 AM
@sterno I've written an actual answer gaming.stackexchange.com/a/147063/52800
let's try and see if this one works
 
11:18 AM
@fredley cc @OrigamiRobot
So why did did they send you a mug and hat @fredley?
 
morning @badp
 
'noon
Did I happen to activate your trap card?
 
nope
what makes you ask?
after fully completing my detox I am on a natural high, even though I'm ill
actually maybe it's the redbull
 
@Wipqozn Literary competition, obviously
 
11:33 AM
@fredley if you can find any that need a better answer by all means do so
I actually ended up doing it properly as well
now I just need to wait for sterno to wake up and award me the reps
I mean... check mark
 
wow
that faggot was delicious
just came back from cafeteria
 
I'm pretty sure you do that on purpose
 
btw I like the recent trend of Steam's being Australia-aware in its promotions
store.steampowered.com/?cc=au (open in incognito mode for best results)
 
I don't see the difference
 
you don't see the difference with store.steampowered.com/?cc=uk ?
 
11:41 AM
the currency changed to usd
that's about it

I am bored for the first time in hours
 
11:52 AM
@kalina how about a reunion party
you and drugs? :P
 
no
 
12:06 PM
@Wandang :|
 
well that's the quickest 85 rep ever
@badp I have an issue/question
 
@kalina ?
 
so I'm playing this game while I'm at work
it has a recipe system
where you find new recipes
 
0
Q: Where can I find more recipe scraps?

kalinaI've found a recipe scrap! I don't know how I did it, but I appear to have one. A recipe scrap reveals part of a new recipe and the tip that pops up states that I can guess the rest to work out the recipe or find the remaining scraps. What other actions can result in me finding more recipe scraps?

0
Q: What is the list of ingredients for recipe #39?

kalinaI have found a recipe scrap! It is for a new recipe that I don't currently know and I can't make out all of the words that make up this recipe: What is the list of ingredients for recipe #39?

 
but can guess what they are before you find all of their component parts
see the recipe #39 question
I've now found parts for 3 more
if I ask all of them as questions it's going to smell like seeding
even though they're all problems I'm experiencing in a game
and if I ask them all as one question, it will be a super long list question
 
12:14 PM
How super long are we talking here?
 
well I just found a recipe part for recipe 83
and each one is up to 9 ingredients
so potentially 83 x 9 lines
 
Or more, you don't know if there are higher numbered recipes.
 
true enough
 
that's still huge enough.
 
potentially a 1000+ line answer
 
12:16 PM
Well, you aren't having trouble with each and every single one recipe
I'd say just go for the recipes you genuinely can't figure out
 
@badp well, not yet
I'm sure in 100 questions time there will be a problem
 
mmmm. Do you reckon all 70 or so recipes left are going to be as hard or harder to figure out?
rather than this being a difficulty spike?
 
the few I've found so far are all the same sort of thing
 
I dunno, I think putting these as a super-mega list is not the SE way
It'd be better to just link to some external wiki
I'd go for simply asking questions for those recipes that really do stump you and can't get more scraps for easily
 
I haven't even worked out where I found the scraps I've got so far
 
12:22 PM
Even just a question asking for the 100 text-only recipes would hardly be a good idea
 
in other news, I'm 5 rep away from capping 5 days in a row
 
although it sounds much better than 100 9-item lists.
 
going to supervise a exam now. hope i can put pressure on some students by starring at them ಠ_ಠ

awww
no upvote to go with it?
how rude
;)
 
Oops, I was lazy
I may correct that after I shower and go to work
 
thanks for your answer BUT WHATEVER
 
I just got 3 solid hours of sleep in so I feel awesome now!
 
1:28 PM
3 hours of sleep does not sound like awesome to me
 
neither
 
@kalina If it's during a 3 hour meeting and you got away with it, it's pretty good
 
Awesome job moment of the day: out of work to do and send to let the pup run around in the garden...
 
1:51 PM
@Elf I have been authorised to give you a hint regarding a certain hat
wow
You definitely don't get the hat for being given a chat ban. Completely, definitely not.
 
@Wipqozn beep boop I am here to take american reps
 
ssssh
 
HamStare @kalina
grrrrr
 
@fredley mod flagged as STOP LEAKING SECRETS
inb4 the whole of Stack Exchange jump on you
 
@kalina I'm just telling him how not to get the hat
 
1:53 PM
very hat
 
much secret
 
wow
 
meh...
 
I've spent half an hour today shifting rubbish from our bunks on the fifth floor to the garbage center. I love being part of Combat Service Support.
 
@PrivatePansy my sarcasm detector exploded... you better get me a replacement ¬_¬
