Q: How do I stockpile policies in games with 'enable policy saving' on?

theoriseWhenever I play a game with the option 'enable policy saving' turned on, I still can't figure out how to not invest in a policy as the button for 'Next turn' is replaced with 'Adopt policy'

Q: How to counter early-game Ignite?

Click OkHow do I to defend myself against this? In mid/late game it isn't a problem, but early game is horrible! I don't know what I can do! Potions and healing skills are weak against this too. My main champions are Malzahar and Xin Zhao, but I want a more generic solution, that works with any champion....

@Lazers It should automatically receive it if you have the tech to exploit the resource

Minutiae of Everyday Life

Proposed Q&A site for typically processed in the subconscious, the minutiae of everyday, when observed, can provoke deep, burning questions. Most often, they are forgotten when a butterfly or shiny object catches our gaze. But no more! They will cast in zeros and ones!

Currently in definition.

Hong Kong just added export control to baby milk formula. Anyone caught bringing more than 2 cans of baby milk powder out of the territory can be charged with fines of up to $HK 6 million or jail terms of up to 20 years
I just watched the movie "Unbreakable". The best part was Samuel L. Jackson's hair.
@StrixVaria I'm guessing you didn't like it? =(
@Fluttershy It was weird.
I can't say it was particularly good, but it wasn't particularly bad either.
@StrixVaria Most M. Night Shyamalan movies are weird. =P

Anyone from Victoria, BC? I need some evening entertainment suggestions
I have never even heard of this band before, but since you like it I'm going to assume I won't.
@StrixVaria Do you like VERY LOUD GUITARS with lots of distortion and feedback and beautiful melodies and VERY LOUD GUITARS?

This is a pretty representative song.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Con...gratulations? Are you gonna add it? =P
It's a really good sword too.
And no because I'm bad at wiki.

Q: Does my toddler need a bed?

I'm done with Path of Exile.
That's less than two weeks, is it?
I think less than one.
I don't mean "done" as in "finished the game".
I mean "done" as in "this game is stupid and I'm not playing it any more."
Right now it's breakfast time, though.
Yes, I understand

Q: Are the Splinter Cell: Conviction servers offline?

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Sweet bread, certainly, but more bread then cake.
this weekend has not gone at all like I expected. I was planning to be super productive. Finish up all my assignments, get a good chunk of work/research done on my end of term projects... and then I spent almost the entire weekend playing Ni No Kuni.

@badp That is awesome.
@Wipqozn and therefore really stupid.
but yeah. Scan Most Bluetooth Devices GOTY
@badp It's missing his opinion of Macs.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm sure it falls somewhere along the continuum. I mean, Scan Most Bluetooth Devices is pretty damn stupid.
I must lament the lack of a "pro much" rank, however.
If all else fails, "Hors catégorie" is a fun word to say.

@badp Did someone say Horse Category?
Broody Broody Broody Broody Broody Broody Broody Broody Normal Laying Reason: Normal Laying Season.. Normal Laying Season: Normal

@badp Boss fight for act 2.
@StrixVaria Oh. I guess that's kind of a long ways from where I am. I've just defeated Brutus
That wasn't a fun fight.
Spamming arrows and abilities in random directions because you get grabbed and destroyed if you're close enough to actually see him
I don't remember that fight.
The one in the prison?
15:26
Pretty much the Act 2 boss is impossible if you are melee.
I imagine he has special tricks if you're ranged, too.
eh, I have a Marauder
Not much of the game has been memorable for me, honestly.
I used a bow for most of the prison.
The part where it introduces electric attacks, at any rate.

Puzzle games with time limits are stupid.
I think that would have been a better choice than GFWL.
GFWL is pretty unanimously stupid.

@StrixVaria I went 3-0 at launch day wooooooooooooooooooooooo
But I got garbage in my prize packs.
@OrigamiRobot Awesome. I didn't play because I don't want to join a Standard tournament without at least playing 1 game first, and no one there wanted to play any games before the tournaments.
I bought some packs, though, and got Watery Grave and Aurelia's Fury.
So I'm happy.
Out of my first box I got 4 shocks, 2 Obzedat, Aurelia's Fury, etc etc
Opening a box is one of the most fun things.
Pack Wars man
So fun
What's that?
15:31
Open a pack without look at any cards, take out the ad in the back, add 3 of each basic land, play.
No mulligans
So you have 16 lands and 14 cards?
That could be interesting.
It's so dumb, but so fun.
I might have to do that with some friends when I get a box.
You don't even feel bad when you lose because it's so dumb, but winning is very satisfying.
I was disappointed in my lack of ability to put trades together Friday. The one guy who wanted my Deathrite Shaman didn't have anything I wanted, and the guy who had all the stuff I wanted didn't want any of the stuff I had to offer. Frustrating.
15:34
Yea that always sucks. I traded up for a Damnation on Wednesday because the guy only wanted two of my cards.
The two of them were trying to work out a trade between them so the guy who wanted the Shaman could have stuff to offer me, but even that fell through.

DavidYellSo I was exploring Harathi Hinterlands and I came across this massive door in Hidden Ourobon. Does anyone have any idea what it's for or if it can be opened? There appears to be a chamber behind it. There was an event to kill Kol Skullsmasher so I guess it could be to do with that?

Q: Does signing up for Elite rest your ranks/stats?

SeanI signed up for Call of duty black ops Elite and all my stats were rest. I had 2 gun mastery"s and close to 4.

anybody got any giftcodes for spore?
Spore was vastly disappointing.
I forgot that they put Spore on Steam
Does the Steam version come with SecuROM?
@RavenDreamer I dare say I was am happier with the T-shirt that came with my purchase than the game itself
ouch
i liked spore alot
more becaause its silly enough thtat the wife can play too than anything
i think of it as a cross between pacman and WoW
SWEET! Just started the Rock Cruiser event! :D <Crosses Fingers and Toes>
I like Spore, but I find myself staying in the Creature stage because I'm not interested in the other stages :/
There were some T-shirts given out when the game was first released. I got one, and I'm very happy with it
16:45
@BoltClock Those are lovely :D
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Here it was given to the first 200 who queued up at Funan on release day
There was also a poster
And a laptop case
Okay, on a scale of 1-10, tell me how bored I am to be making this on a Sunday night:
12
@BoltClock Telling the 201st in line that he was the 201st in line mustn't have been fun
then the 200th in line turns to listen to the conversation and awkwardly makes a non-heart-felt offer to give up his own goodie bag
16:48
@YiJiang'sEvilClone So when did you get into MLP and why?
@badp lol
@badp The scale only goes up to 11
@BoltClock Because there's nothing to do after the A-Levels

Q: Can't proceed in tutorial: How do I switch to independent realms map mode?

eric fI've started the tutorial, but I haven't proceeded very far.... How do I switch to independent realms map mode? Thanks, Eric

@Ender I don't like the Rock ship.
It only has missiles.
@Origami I'm attempting 'MY OWN PERSONAL FLEETP'
Doesn't Arqade have more traffic than Server Fault?
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I just saw the Too Many Pinkie's episode yesterday. It was awesome.
17:07
Is stackexchange.com/sites#traffic an average over a period of time or just in the last 24h?
Because I remember this site being #3 on the list for traffic
<span class="number"><span class="thousand" title=" 168,158 median visits per day over the last two weeks ">168<span>k</span></span></span>
That's really weird. Median is a strange choice of average though
Or maybe it's because the other sites had less visitors during the holiday season
stupid quantcast and their meaningless US only default
@Fluttershy Somepony's making balloon animals!
@badp How do you get comparison between multiple sites?
17:20
@YiJiang'sEvilClone "Access site comparison through old chart"
and this is what you'd get
So yeah, we're kind of fourth as of late
but it's much closer than whatever Google Analytics seems to be smoking
I'm not actually sure if GA is better than QuantCast for analytics
Or for that matter if it's better than the stats on SE.com
I think SE relies on GA
To be fair, however
If you look closely at the original The Social Network poster there's actually horizontal scanlines running through it
Quantcat reports people
Gives the poster a bit more texture
17:25
The GA numbers are visits
I guess we're so good at what we do, people get to hit and run on our site!!!!!11one
You can also get QuantCast to show visits, right?
Also, GA is suppose to report unique visits, which should be the same as people I think
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Not with the comparison thing
Damn you The Walking Dead! Curse you and your constantly forcing me to make hard decisions! >_<

So... let's see. Upcoming games which might generate new questions
Skyrim's getting a new DLC
Ni No Kuni hasn't had a lot of questions, surprisingly enough
Path of Exile seem to be the most popular game for questions.
Also not exactly "upcoming."
It's still in beta
But yeah, kind of slow this time of the year
I recognize Ni No Kuni as that game that Gabe from Penny Arcade said in his AMA is his all-time favorite video game
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Bioshock Infinite and Tomb Raider are both about a month away.
I thought Bioshock Infinite was pushed back again
17:50
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Everything I can find says the 26th.
And Tomb Raider's on... March 14th? I think?
@Fluttershy That's two months
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Fire Emblem, I assume.
Oh yes! That should be a good one
The reviews are positive too, I think
Dear Bridge, Should I order a pizza?
@OrigamiRobot No, you should MAKE a pizza.
17:53
@OrigamiRobot Will it be a respectable pizza?
@fbueckert I don't know how.
@TimStone Depends on your standards.
@OrigamiRobot ...You don't know how to make pizza?
No
I mean, I do in theory.
Dough. Let it rise. Add toppings to taste. Done.
@OrigamiRobot On a scale of 0 to @LessPop_MoreFizz, I'm toward, but not at, the top of the scale.

Dec 22 '12 at 22:41, by OrigamiRobot
@fbueckert Again, you are assuming I know more than I do.
user15026
@fbueckert I have never had much success with making pizza dough that actually stretches nice.
@TimStone Well then you should have had your answer when I said "order"
@OrigamiRobot I'm assuming your bachelorhood has provided you with skills that make sense.
@AshleyNunn Serious Eats has good pizza dough recipes.
user15026
@fbueckert Man, I want that game -so- bad.
user15026
17:56
@LessPop_MoreFizz Nifty - I love SE. I will have to poke at it :)
@AshleyNunn Apparently, "Happily Married" is a title that pays you more for doing your job.
In Dream House Days.
@fbueckert Why would I have ever made dough?
user15026
@fbueckert For serious? Awesome.
@OrigamiRobot ...Experimentation?
user15026
I am right now trying to convince my people to have more babies
3
17:56
@fbueckert So you want me to potentially waste food?
@OrigamiRobot Yes. Because flour is expensive.
@fbueckert Waste is waste.
@AshleyNunn Mine are getting married left and right.
You could buy ready made crust... and sauce... and topping. Actually you might as well buy the whole thing
I'm wondering why it's a landlord's job to make sure they're happy.
@OrigamiRobot In the pursuit of knowledge, breakage is inevitiable.
user15026
17:58
@fbueckert Yeah, mine marry fast. I just need pets and babies
@YiJiang'sEvilClone My mom used to make pizza with that dough in a can stuff. It was awful.
@fbueckert Why waste food when I already know things I like?
@OrigamiRobot Skill expansion, dude. Learning is half the fun.
@fbueckert Wasting food is not fun.
@OrigamiRobot That stuff's good if you make it right
Nor is cooking anything fun.
17:59
My mom makes her own dough and it's not very good either
