@MBraedley Just download some
:P
 
@RavenDreamer You seem to be confusing a physical device with digital goods. May I suggest you go see a doctor or something

@MBraedley Would you download a car?
 
@RavenDreamer For a game, but not for actual transportation
 
@RavenDreamer YES

Q: How is my "Home Base" determined, and how can I move it?

Paul MarshallIn Crusader Kings II, each noble has a "home base" of sorts: it's where their coat-of-arms appears on the map. When you're a ruler, your vassals are more likely to revolt the further away they are; it's hard to hang onto Jerusalem if you're the King of England. I'd like to reduce this penalty fo...

The like/dislike counts on this YouTube video are very appropriate.
@RavenDreamer I loved that story.
 
HI GUYS
 
@Brant That's pretty crazy. o_o
 
@Brant Wow...
 
DERPPPPPPPPP worst answer ever — Tom Wijsman 18 mins ago
I'm not a fan of the answer at all, but, c'mon.
The fact that the comment has three upvotes is sad. We should be flagging this, not supporting it.
 
I already did. Get on it @badp!

Also, champagne bought! Tonight will be fun!

A: Why do "data types" in computers exist, if it's really all just bits?

Steven Burnap01010100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01110010 01100101 01100001 01110011 01101111 01101110 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100001 01110100 00100000 01110000 01110010 01101111 01100111 01110010 01100001 01101101 01101101 01100101 01110010 01110011 00100000 01110101 01110011 01100101 00100000 01100100 ...

 
@Brant I'm going to assume that's ASCII for something.
 
Who knows? That's the whole point! wheeeee
 
@badp But...hackers! Think of the hackers!
 
@fbueckert What I love is the edit. It has to mean something.
 
12:33 AM
@Brant Perfect answer, even without trying to interpret.
 
@Coronus Almost guaranteed, it's binary ASCII.
 
@Brant Someone with the required rep should roll back the edit. It introduces errors.
 
Mmhmm. Teach the questioner some functional programming. Let him play in the sandbox of beautiful types.
 
> The reason that programmers use datatypes rather than raw bits is because requiring the human brain to translate binary to the appropriate semantyc type imposes a massive cognitive load that would make productivity non-existant. For instance, it is nearly certain that no h}man being will read this text without using some sort of machine translator to translate these 1s and 0s into a datatype (text) |hat they can more masily understand. So it is with all datatypes. The human mental processing to convert a 32-bit representation of a floating point nUmber into the representation that is a

Q: When Lulu's shield is on a teammate, who do Pix's bolts count for?

JeffWhen a Lulu puts her shield (E) on a teammate, every time they auto-attack Pix also fires a bolt. Does this bolt "count" for Lulu or that character? For example, let's say your AD carry is trying to get red buff. You, as Lulu, put your shield on them. Now every time the AD carry auto-attacks,...

 
@Wipqozn @fbueckert @RedRiderX Okay, I totally didn't expect fire runes would work like this
> Mistake is on Fire rune. Fire rune hits the first fearmonger, dealing 3 fire damage. The first fearmonger is now wounded. Fire rune hits the gibberling, dealing 4 fire damage.
 
@badp Yeah. Free damage, and we're mostly out of range at the same time.
 
I think our sniper might want to get to that earth rune
@fbueckert I thought it was just a boost to my fire attacks
 
@badp Earth rune is just +2 physical resist.
Probably won't help much.

Q: What does each rune on the floor do?

MichelIn Conclave there are several types of runes, like Earth Rune Fire Rune Air Rune Necrotic Rune What are the positive and negative effects of each rune?

 
The drawback is I can't use area of effect stuff
 
@badp Eh. We're on the last mission. It's the only one we couldn't just zerg.
 
@fbueckert btw your move
 
Defense! Until they get into range.
 
Well I could do that if you moved to 1 but then you'd be kind of useless
 
12:50 AM
@badp Can you not lob fireballs over my head?
 
@fbueckert "I can't use area of effect stuff"
fireballs not being area of effect
 
@badp Ah. I figured there might've been a line of effect thing going on.
 
1:03 AM
*yawn*
Hey, I just remembered that xkcd comic on SwiftKey. I think I've used it enough for it to learn something. Let's give that a try.
I am a beautiful person who is the fact that Apple Bloom's voice sounded as if she's not going to be publishing the same time as the first time in the Hoof 23
I'm actually not sure where SwiftKey learns some of these words. Sometimes I see usernames of random redditors show up even though I I've never typed them
 
he kinda went for easy pickings here
 
It goes into a loop after "Hoof 23".
"who is in fact that" isn't grammatically correct. That's odd too
I wonder how this whole thing works. It most certainly I'd deterministic though. Trying this again will give me the same output.
Anyway, xkcd's assertion that this is somehow your "average" sentence is probably wrong. It looks more like a Markov chain than anything else
 
1:20 AM
also IE10 is now available for Windows 7
there's no reason not to upgrade, honestly. Especially if you've still got IE8 (that's what Win7 ships with right?)
 
Yup, we know
 
@badp Still not showing up for me.
 
I've got it through Windows Update already
I had the preview installed
I wonder if they have a changelog anywhere
 
@Powerlord uh, so there's no way to actually install it on your own?
 
@badp Whoops, I thought you were talking about in Windows Updates, which is where MS is saying it should be showing up.
 
1:27 AM
Well, this is pretty sparse. ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/info/releasenotes
@Powerlord If you have the preview it should come in as "Important" and will be automatically installed. Otherwise you should see it as "Optional"
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone In Win7, Bing Desktop is the only thing in Optional and nothing is in Important.
 
in 2013 Stack Overflow Moderator Election on Stack Overflow Chat, 6 hours ago, by Shog9
PSA: killing hookers is NOT appropriate for this room.

There was a Platform Update under Important yesterday
 
ugh. Putting Bing Desktop there puts Windows Update on the same level of the Apple Update thing.
"Team Fortress 2 forced you to install Quicktime so you could export videos? I bet you'll love Safari too, then!"
 
@badp Yeah, but thank goodness there's an option to hide updates
 
1:32 AM
Yeah, in Windows 8 the traditional Windows Update interface is actually pretty hidden
the default interface is the metro one, which afaik doesn't do optional updates.
Also I can't wait until I get the Rescue Ranger in a drop. That combined with the Eureka Effect would be all manners of overpowered I suppose
...although I've rediscovered the niceness of having an actual shotgun in your hand lately
stupid pomson nerf :/ that was so much fun while it lasted
also I should be able shortly to finally afford a strange sapper. That's another thing I've been wanting to get my hands on
 
@badp Rescue Ranger won't pick up buildings if you have the Eureka Effect equipped.
 
@Powerlord aw.
Does it teleport you to the base instead?
...does it make fart noises?
 
@badp The pickup ability just does nothing.
Which makes sense since the Eureka Effect blocks you from picking up buildings.
 
I guess it would've been way overpowered otherwise.
I still love the setup speedup the eureka effect gives you

Q: Can I use iPhone adapter to charge Nintendo 3DS?

Enrico SusatyoMy Nintendo does not come with a cable like this, but I'm wondering if I can buy it and plug it to my iPhone/iPad adapter. Is it safe to do so? They're both 5V and 12V adapter.

 
@Lazers The 3DS XL wall adapter outputs 4.6V / 900mA
Since the DSi XL also uses the same kind of adapter, I assume the normal 3DS (released between the two) also does.
@BenBrocka Since you're commenting on that question, see the chat line two above.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I'm just going to assume that's you.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Ew, disney princesses
 
@Powerlord If he doesn't have the end that connects to the 3DS the voltage is irrelevant
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone You're right, the tiara was too much.
 
user15026
@fbueckert been here an hour and a half so far. I am learning about yo-yos and it is awesome.
 
2:14 AM
Holy crap Kingdom Hearts is blurry on my TV. o_o
 
@Fluttershy It's not HD
You have to wait a few months for that
 
@AshleyNunn I...what?
 
@Powerlord Yeah... And I have to get a PS3. =P
 
@AshleyNunn Not playing 999? :O

Q: What causes the application of various Status Ailments?

user1337Yes, what decides the trigger chance and duration of Chill/Freeze, Shock and Ignite? (I've heard that the duration scales off of damage and chance... well, that it's applied on every crit, but I doubt that and would like some confirmation.)

Q: Getting my reward in Zeryphesh

RetrosaurI remember travelling in the Frosted Hills and encountering a group of injured Zeraphis and their ambassador Lord Taldimut. He offered two quests, which I completed in due time, the Zeraphi Envoy, and the Lost Key. After I finished the Lost Key, he said: This is it! The Golden Gear! I thank...

 
Is it bad that I was looking up how to create a Lets Play?
 
@Powerlord A Lets Play of a Lets Play?
 
@Wipqozn Nah, I was thinking of doing a Lets Play of Day of the Tentacle... if for no other reason because everyone always uses the really crappy adlib music for the game.
The game has good music, and unlike some people, the first time I played it with sound, I had a sound card with a 512kB Wavetable chip!
(which still sounded pretty bad, but better than Adlib music)
 
Huh, A-Level results are to be released... tomorrow!?
Oh god oh god oh god *starts biting fingernails*
 
I look at my usual TF2 server to see if people are playing. 2/24 players... yeah.
 
2:39 AM
Okay, Bridge, help me relax for the next 26 hours
My hands are shaking.
 
That should cover you for the next 24-hours.
 
Hehe, I see that @AshleyNunn started playing Dungeons of Dredmor
 
Man... I love fighting Wakka for easy levels in the beginning of Kingdom Hearts. =3
 
2:54 AM
@Fluttershy Ooh, playing through KH again?
 
@Ktash Yep. Just started. I'm level 5, almost 6, and I haven't even gathered the food for the raft yet. >_>
 
@Fluttershy I'd recommend playing against selphie rather than Wakka. When you deflect her attacks, she can't die, and she's very easy to deflect
Got to level 30 that way :)
 
@Ktash True. But I've gotten really good at hitting Wakka's so that they don't hit him back. =P
Also... O_O Damn. That must've taken a while.
 
Heh, took like 20 some odd hours
it made powering through the game with that save file really easy though lol
 
@CruelCow Ah, okay. =/ Thanks.
16 hours before I can award.
 
2:59 AM
@Ktash In a non-power-leveling playthrough, what level would you recommend I leave Destiny Island? It's been forever since I've played.
 
@Fluttershy Um, depends on how good you are, and how much power leveling you want to do later
technically, you can make it off the island by like level 3 I think
But I'd recommend probably 8 ish
I usually do 10 or 12, but that's a lot more time on the island
 
And the heartless at the end, those are never-ending, right?
 
@Wipqozn That actually sounds really ominous, like the sound of HAL 9000 staring into your soul.
 
Obviously I'm not going to get any work done today. Hmmmmm
Maybe I should just curl up in bed and queue up season 1 and 2 of MLP.
 
3:04 AM
@Fluttershy No. Not really. Though I think you can go in and out of the shack and it will respawn
 
@Ktash Ah, gotcha. Also... Selphie is super easy to get XP off of... She's just so annoying! "Aww... OW!" "Aww... OW!"
 
@Fluttershy Yes, well, my problem is that I can't take my mind off things, so I can't focus on doing anything
 
@Fluttershy Haha, she is. Once you get block (6 if you chose shield if I remember correctly) she becomes the easiest person in the world to power level off of
 
Hm... I did choose shield...
Guard is lvl 9. =(
 
Ah, 9
yeah, guard cuts the time in half for power leveling with her
cause you literally can't kill her
 
3:09 AM
Do you just block the whole time?
 
Yeah
I got to a point where I knew based on noise when to block
so I would just sit, not even look at the screen, and power level
 
Hmm... Wonder how long it'd take to get to level 9....
 
if you're good at the block, you can get 2-3 tech points every 10 seconds or so
so, extrapolate that to 9 haha
 
So... a while.
 
probably not a few minute endeavor
but if you plan on power leveling later, it can be easier to do it there for the lower levels
 
3:13 AM
I should've started my journey at night. =(
 
nah, starting at the middle or morning is usually better
 
I started midday. =3
 
once you get to level 35 or something, it takes a dramatic shift if I remember
are you doing a level 99, 100% completion or just revisiting?
 
@Ktash Gonna try for 100%.
 
user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I did. I die often
 
3:16 AM
Waaaait... is the Chunsoft that made 999 and Virtue's Last Reward the Chunsoft? The ones that made Dragon Quest (aka Dragon Warrior)?
 
OMG @Ktash this is so easy! I have no idea how I never figured out Selphie's pattern when I was a kid. O_o
 
@AshleyNunn Have fun! :D
Dying often is part of the process.
If you want to I can give you the skill combination I finished the game with
 
@Fluttershy Nice. Sephiroth too?
 
@Ktash Always. I beat him at level 80 on my first playthrough. =3
Woo! Only 139 EXP til level 9! =D
 
@Fluttershy Wow! I'm super impressed
I've never actually beat him
Not in KH1 at least
 
3:20 AM
@Ktash It took a few tries, but I finally got him.
 
I couldn't do it 100, so I'm impressed
all this talk of KH is making me want to break out my PS2 now
 
Man... I can watch chat and deflect Selphie now just by counting after she says "Ow." I've been doing this for too long.
 
user15026
feels bad because she still sucks at KH
 
user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I keep picking things at random, because I am not quite sure what everything does.
 
@AshleyNunn Don't feel bad! I have over 150 hours over various playthroughs, all of which have involved me powerleveling on Destiny Island. <_< So... I have some experience with this.
 
3:25 AM
@AshleyNunn That's a good way to learn what each skill does, but it's very hard to actually win with a random draw
 
user15026
@Fluttershy I am still trying to beat Shadow Sora in Neverland. That shit is hard, yo
 
user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Yeah, well I havent even made it to floor two - I am still learning :)
 
I hurt Sephiroth halfway once.
 
@Ktash Was it KH1 that had the hidden boss in Neverland?
 
@Fluttershy Yes, the reaper guy
 
3:27 AM
Yeah... I don't think I ever beat him.
 
user15026
...hidden boss? Oh I am so screwed.
 
@Fluttershy Stupid doom.
 
Phantom is easy
 
Guard get!
 
As is the one in Agrabah
 
3:31 AM
I read that there's a place in Traverse Town where you can get 1200-1800 xp in 2-3 minutes, and it's just a big circle.
 
umm, maybe
dunno, never found that run
but by the time it mattered, I was grinding with Ice Titan anyway
In KH 2, it is super easy to grind on Pridelands
that is so much XP and in literally no time at all

Q: Bullets disappear after a certain distance in Far Cry 3?

FendiI have realised that my shots don't register when I try long-range sniping in FC3 .. Is this a bug that I'm having or does the game really stop registering bullets after a certain distance ? Anyone else realised this ? If so, what is the maximum distance do bullets travel in the game ?

Q: How can I find out how big an opponent's realm is?

Paul MarshallIn Crusader Kings II, Catholic rulers can ask the Pope for a licence to ki-- er, invade, and take the top-level title (Duke, King, Emperor, God-King, etc.). You can only do this to invade people bigger than you, so your best bet is to build up your realm until you're just slightly smaller than th...

 
@Ktash How do you do that?
 
@Fluttershy Just play him over and over in the Colosseum. All of his hits are extra tech points
Same with the rock guy
 
Ah. gotcha.
Recommended level? >_>
 
3:39 AM
@Fluttershy WHY DON'T YOU LIKE CAKE!?!?!?
YOU KNOW WHAT? I DON'T EVEN WANT TO HEAR YOUR EXCUSES! I'M JUST GOING TO STORM OFF IN A TORTOISE RAGE AND NEVER COME BACK!
 
@Fluttershy Um, not until like 40 or 50 at least
 
..until tomorrow after I've had a full nights sleep
 
just takes practice at some point though
 
Oh, that reminds me
@AshleyNunn Did you ever DL the Monster Hunter demo?
 
@Ktash Thanks! =)
 
user15026
3:43 AM
@Wipqozn I have not yet, but I plan it
 
@AshleyNunn It's a pretty sizable DL, so it'll take a bit to DL.
 
user15026
@Wipqozn Good to know :)
 
HI. GUYS.
 
OH HAI
 
@TimStone I've been playing some Diablo. I found a belt...and it's bid is already up to 52mil
WOOT
 
3:52 AM
:O
 
@AshleyNunn @FAE you guys might appreciate my picture for today. It's from when @OrigamiRobot and I went exploring
 
@spugsley I just saw that.
good subject and composition :)
 
@Ktash it was an excellent find. I was so excited that I broke my person rule
 
@spugsley Really nice photo
Also really depressing
 
@Wipqozn thanks. And yeah, it is. It was one of the only things left in the home. Along with a huge cardboard box full of badly damaged toys. The light wasn't right for a good shot though
 
3:58 AM
I really should be curling up now but I can't. I need lunch. Lunches are the worst, because in the five minute walk to the place to eat my brain will churn through endless scenarios. I don't think I can make it. Halp...
 
@fbueckert belt I found playing D2 yesterday is bid up to 52 mil already - 13 hours left
 
user15026
I FINALLY BEAT SHADOW SORA
 
@AshleyNunn WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 
@spugsley Person rule?
@AshleyNunn Congratulations!
 
@Fluttershy I include either myself or (less often) someone else in my photo for my 365 challenge
 
4:03 AM
@spugsley Ah. Gotcha.
 
@Fluttershy the usual 365 is a self portrait everyday but sometimes I have a model at my disposal :)
@TimStone @fbueckert make that 60 mil O-o
 
@AshleyNunn Yahooo!!!
Wait, shadow Sora in Neverland?

Q: iPega Bluetooth Controller problem

RusselI cannot play Temple Run with this device. Anyone used this? Any idea how to get it work?

 
Am I the only person who's slightly annoyed at "Ang Lee"? It should be "Lee Ang".
 
Everyone, stop what you're doing.
 
4:12 AM
OK, I will stop doing nothing.
 
@Retrosaur Rice takes too long to cook, I'm not stopping it
sorry
 
Darn.
I was going to follow up by saying "Everyone, resume doing nothing."
 
Hi there! I'd like it if someone could help me play around with my Skyrim settings to get maximum quality for a good performance considering my system specs.

It was running very, very smoothly with no problem whatsoever, so I decided to install the high definition texture pack and put everything on max, but now it's laggy and I have this strange noise on some things on-screen.

I'm a complete newbie at this, and I'm wondering if someone could guide me at decreasing the right settings and fixing this weird visual glitch.
(Should I write my system specs?)
Aw well, I'll do it.
Windows 8 Professional, 64 bits
Samsung 840 Pro Series 128 GB SSD with the OS and main apps
WD Caviar Black 1 TB hard drive - Skyrim is running from this, because I figured putting large games on the small SSD was probably not a good idea.
EVGA GTX 660 Ti+ with 3 GB RAM
AMD FX-8150 eight-core processor
Screen resolution: 1920 x 1080
Game window resolution: 1915 x 1000 (for the taskbar and title bar oo')

And uuuuhm... I think that's all the info you might need, right? So... Yeah! Any help appreciated! :3
 
4:27 AM
No it isn't.
Stupid stupid floridians.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Or Tampa.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Or Orlando.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Or Boca Raton.
 
Is that suppose to be tricky? Miami is Florida's largest city
 
Indeed. I know only one city in Florida, Miami, and it doesn't have an E.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It's tricky for floridians who are dumb.
 
4:28 AM
I think this is sarcastic. ^^'
 
(It was posted on the facebook page of a jacksonville radio station.)
 
@Ariane I sure hope so
 
@Ariane I don't think it is based on the responses on said facebook page.
 
Lol. Or maybe Floridians are so into their "daily cities" they completely forget about the capital.
So uhm... No one's up to helping me with Skyrim, then?
 
@Ariane The capital of florida has an e in it. Tallahassee.
 
4:30 AM
@LessPop I thought it was Miami. My bad.
Sigh. Can someone tell me what sort of setting is usually the most demanding? There are so many.
 
@Ariane If you hadn't noticed, not many people around at the moment. Sorry.
 
@Less Oh, right. With those people having colourful avatars, I thought they were there, but no, they were transparent.
 
I don't play Skyrim, sorry. I don't think you should post that question on the main site, not in that form anyway
 
Maybe ask about which settings are the most demanding in general. Asking about which settings to tweak for your setup is a little too localized
 
4:39 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Even then, it's not really a great question - results are too wildly variable depending on hardware.
Some settings will be CPU bound, others GPU bound, others might be HDD bound even.
 
@YiJiang Well, just knowing what graphics settings are generally the most taxing in games would help a ton.
 
@Ariane It varies wildly from game to game.
 
._.
 
@Ariane For instance, in NWN2, shadows are the only setting that matters, and they are basically a binary of 'shadows on: performance in the shitter, shadows off: go ahead and max out the rest.'
 
>.<"
I,ll read through your NVIDIA guide
LOL
I click update in my NVIDIA control panel, and I get a runtime error. Time to reinstall. xD
 
4:43 AM
@Ariane This is also why talking about 'which setting is most demanding' can get you in trouble - often settings are nothing to do with why your game performance is lousy.
 
@LessPop In this case, settings must have some impact, since it was running super smooth without the HD textures and max settings. But reinstalling is step one for now. :p
Gotta restart. I'll probably be back in a bit. ^.^
Hehe, weird. Without the nVIDIA driver, my 24-inch screen can't be handled, so the image is smaller and centered. Just like the boot screen. Strange, since my old and bad AMD graphics card displayed the right size when booting.

Q: Latency when gaming through WINE

Μάριος ΘεοφάνουςI managed to set up WINE in my system and I tried playing my favourite game at this moment (League of Legends). Everything runs smoothly even on high resolution and setting but the ping spikes from time to time and makes the game unplayable. Any thoughts what this could be? Thanks in advance, Ma...

 
5:30 AM
Say, does playing a game in windowed mode have an actually noticeable impact?
 
I've always assumed that there will be a negative impact since the computer has to draw the desktop now too, but I'm not sure if the impact is significant
 
user15026
Kobo, are you SHITTING ME? (Bought a Kobo Glo yesterday. It has now shit the bed and won't actually do anything - the power light is on, but there is nothing on the screen).
 
user15026
I hate everything
 
@YiJi I'll leave it as is, then. I hate the restrictions of full screen modes.
 
Well, at least it hasn't literally shit the bed... right?
 
user15026
5:33 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone There is that. But all I want is a damn working ereader, you know?
 
user15026
Apparently after resetting it ten times, the tenth is the charm, and it is restoring. Whatever that means
 
user15026
I just hope it works

user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Also, on the subject of beds - my cat stuck a wet mitten (that was supposed to be drying on the mitten rack on my heat vent) in my bed.
 
@AshleyNunn You should probably steer clear of Kobo. o_O This is what... your sixth?
 
user15026
5:40 AM
@Fluttershy Something like that
 
user15026
At least this one reset
 
user15026
I will accept that
 
Is it a touch screen?
 
user15026
@Fluttershy It isnt the same model as the one I had before, no
 
user15026
It is a new one - still touch based, but upgraded
 
5:42 AM
@AshleyNunn Gotcha. Okay.. So... Don't use your fist to turn pages. =P Just a light touch.
 
user15026
@Fluttershy Ooooooh, okay. I thought I could just bang it with hammers.
 
user15026
puts the hammer away
 
seriously though... If this one goes out, you should probably just get a not-Kobo.
 
user15026
@Fluttershy If this one dies I am getting a Sony and that will be that
 
user15026
They are a little pricier but not hugely so
 
5:43 AM
I'm looking to get a Kindle.
 
user15026
@Fluttershy Cool beans. I have heard good things about the Paperwhite. (I just like that we can finally get readers where the lights cover the whole screen evenly)
 
@AshleyNunn I've heard mixed things. Something about large blotches on the screen. =( So I may just get a regular Kindle and a book light.

@Fluttershy Hm. The Glo doesn't have that issue. If you get a book light, try to get one that isn't just one single point of light - I find that those are sometimes hard to read by - I find a regular book booklight worked better than one specialized for ereaders
 
user15026
Which was weird
 
I will keep that in mind!

(Sorry, I am kinda all full of research on these things, so I tend to babble)
 
S'okay. Research is helpful. =P
 
user15026
Also, I highly suggest a case - the glass substrate on these things is relatively sensitive, at least moreso than I would like. I have yet to have one crack on me, but they can scratch, and I have heard horror stories from a number of people about cracked screens after being in bags, etc.
 
Hmmm, placed side by side these bookmarks don't look very consistent
 
user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone How so?
 
5:56 AM
Well, Twilight's hoof's have angular corners. This seem to suggest that she was actually flattened, since the round corners appear to suggest that they're more three dimensional
The sizes of their manes are also a little different, and Pinkie Pie's body is noticeably shorter than the others
 
user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Ah, I see what you mean. I just think they are awesome, regardless, but I am not as big of a details person, myself.
 
Twilight's and Fluttershy's are the only ones here that are actually traced from a scene where they were flattened
Oh, and the colors of the mouths are slightly inconsistent
That's not too serious though
Pinkie's mane is a little too small
I'm actually not sure if Twilight's tail is significantly bigger than the others
And Applejacl's face still looks funny
 
user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I do think Pinkie's body needs to be a bit longer.
 
user15026
For me, it is her (Applejack's) right eye. I don't know if it is the reflections in it, or what, but it is odd somehow.
 
A lot longer, actually
 
6:11 AM
Okay... What the hell do I do with the pink rectangles on the ground in Bit.Trip.Runner? They're like springboards, right?
 
user15026
Yeah, you just kinda bounce off them, iirc
 
You know, all of the ponies have really long tails.
Or really small bodies. I don't know. The proportions never made much sense.
 
user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Yeah, they always seem a little misproportioned
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone MAGIC
Argh, my wrists hurt like crazy.
 
I think Fluttershy uses tail extensions
 
6:23 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone ಠ_ಠ
She's the oldest. It makes sense that her tail is longer.
 
Only by a year or so
 
How long does your hair grow in a year?
 
I don't think it works that way

Q: Can I change difficulty level or mode without starting over?

KatieKI'm on Hard / Classic mode, and my units are dying a lot. Can I change to a different difficulty level or mode without starting over?

 
6:58 AM
@Fluttershy I don't think we know she's the oldest. We just know she's a year older than Pinkie Pie
 
@murgatroid99 I dunno. For some reason, I watched this today. It convinced me well enough.
 
@murgatroid99 Based on S1E22. She should be older than RD, and the others too
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Why?
@Fluttershy It's a good argument, but I'm not convinced
There are other explanations that are just as reasonable
 
I'll just stick with my headcanon. =P
 
@murgatroid99 Her body is more lanky and awkward than RD's and the other little ponies. Confirmed by Lauren Faust that this is intentional - she's older than RD at least
 
7:08 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I can't find the Lauren Faust quote
 
o/
Yes, at work at 7:30 am \o/
 
7:24 AM
:(
 
Yow
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone That doesn't mean she was older
 
No, I suppose not
Display names on the site are limited to 30 characters, right?
 
7:45 AM
However. I get to leave an hour early, so not all bad.
 
8:08 AM
@Ben The game audio on your latest video is way too loud
 
9:02 AM
yawn stretch
 
FAE
Wow, went to bed at 1amish yesterday because I only got like 3 hours of sleep and now I'm awake before noon for like the first time since getting back from vacation.
I have no idea what to do with mornings.
 
lol
 
9:53 AM
Why is Steam running DX9 setup every time Bit.Trip Runner is started?
 
weeeeeeee
firing up 10 amazon instances at once is fun
