@YiJiang'sEvilClone jelly/jello pants/trousers biscuit/cookie
Everything from this morning
@badp and what?
 
I... I dunno
 
Oh.
 
Hacker News is down again?
 
Jin
HN comments depress me
 
Wtf, @agent86
And you, @Jin
 
12:03 AM
....aaaaand opeeèeeeeen!
@agent the blog post didn't go live
 
Ahahaha
AnswerSwarm
 
At least the lasers are still there :P
 
Jin
oh it launched
 
@Jin They're usually more polite than reddit comments
 
Jin
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I actually like reddit comments better.
 
12:05 AM
 
Jin
they don't depress me nearly as much. in fact, tons of lil gold nuggets in reddit comments, however OT they may be.
 
The day I get a hold of jin's reddit fursona will be a glorious one. Although bacon technically doesn't have fur
 
@Jin How can you guys do 20 awards for Platinum if there's only 5 plushies?
 
@badp Fur... fursona? /eeeek
 
Jin
@badp it's nothing interesting, i only post in /r/gonemild.
 
12:07 AM
"ANSWERSWARM"
Looking good, @Jin
 
@Jin For AnswerSwarm, do the posts have to be about HotS?
 
$335, wow. That's rather expensive for some plushies
 
@yij unleash your inner critter!!
 
Wat. "PETA Reminds StarCraft Players That Zerglings Have Feelings, Too"
 
Jin
@SaintWacko read da rulz
@YiJiang'sEvilClone that's the total for 5

Q: Minecraft forestry multiple arboretum multifarms cannot work at the same time

mopsydI have two of the largest size multifarms set up as arboretums to generate saplings for biofuel production. They are both set up correctly and have all resources piped in through thermal expansion tesseracts when they are low. Both of these work fine, but the problem is that when I have them both...

 
Oh, rules link
 
@lesspop I stopped reading at PETA.
 
Meh. I already have a better keyboard and video card than that.
 
Jin
If I had more time, i'd redo the mothership.gif to be infested by creep...
 
Looks good, @Jin
 
Jin
12:09 AM
alas, i suck
2
 
How would the creep get there anyway? Would they climb the lazers?
 
@badp Tumor.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz That article just reminds me that PETA hires pretentious assholes...
 
@Jin have the plush zerglings already been bought?
 
Jin
12:11 AM
@RavenDreamer si
 
@raven so units randomly turn to zerg in the game?
 
@RavenDreamer Yes. Click the link says "Reserved for Aarthi."
 
@Jin I have no idea how Etsy works
 
6 mins ago, by Fluttershy
user image
 
@badp It's not random - but yes, Zerg have a variety of tools to turn units to their side.
 
Jin
12:12 AM
@RavenDreamer me neither. but aarthi made sure they're reserved... unlike that one time with the ME replica rifle...
 
@Jin Where you were guaranteed a prize for reaching the top tier first? Yeah... those were the days :D
 
@Jin I'm still confused as to how there will be 20 prizes given out at that level, but there are only 5 plushies. <_<
 
I am still sad about my luck with Diablo 3.
:D
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz It's funny because Zerg are one of few creatures that can claim to be more destructive to life than humans
 
@BenBrocka Let's wait for PETA to start clamoring for the protection of The Flood
 
12:14 AM
@badp This isn't random, though! We've been planning our assault for weeeeks
 
PETA to file petitions to protect the Flood, Necromorphs, The Borg, Orkz, etc.
 
@Fluttershy Look at the crafters Etsy store - she churns out lots and lots and lots of these. I'm sure @aarthi's made appropriate arrangements.
 
answerswarm.com - Same prize rules as Diablo III
15
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I guess it's the "Only 1 available" that's worrying me.
 
Man. I get what PETA's trying to do, but fuck.
It's like they're smoking something REALLY good, and not sharing it with the rest of the world.
 
12:16 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Don't forget the Tyranids
 
Headcrabs! Yeah, we need to protect headcrabs!
 
Are the Zerg like Tyranids? I don't actually know anything about them
 
Adopt a Plague Rat today
 
Jin
@SaintWacko Zergs are like frat boys. they come 'n trash your place.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone At my work, there are routers all over the ceiling, and they all have four antennae, which makes it look like there are headcrabs all over the ceiling
@Jin Yep, sounds about like the Tyranids then
 
12:18 AM
@RavenDreamer And thus why I'm pre-blocking
 
@Fluttershy Again: Look at her crafter page/sales list - she has sold many of these in the past, and presumably will continue to do so - she lists each one she makes as "only one availiable" individually, presumably to only sell them as each one is finished.
I am torn between my complete lack of interest in and my desire to spend enough time researching answers via wikis etc. to qualify for plush zergling drawing.
 
@Wipqozn center right monitor is misaligned
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz dwawe, they do look cute
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Same, but naw, gonna blacklist it. Actually I think it's already blacklisted
 
12:21 AM
@Wipqozn Is that your setup (i.e. I hate you so much)
 
Yep. I went through and blocked the most popular tags I'll never be able to answer/want to read
 
@Wipqozn I am so jealous
 
@Wipqozn Okay, I don't hate you then
 
If that was my set-up I'd be posting it in here everyday bragging.
 
12:21 AM
@wipq that doesn't look practical unless you can control everything via keyboard
I mean the mouse travel time from edge to edge must be terrible
 
@badp I don't "practical" is something that concerns someone with five monitors.
 
I can cover two 24" monitors in half a small mousepad sweep
er, considerably less than half
You just need a very sensitive mouse and the ability to control it
 
@BenBrocka I use momentum movement on my laptop touchpad
 
@BenBrocka Yes. @badp clearly has a mouse with low-sensitivity.
 
People freak out when they use my mice
 
12:24 AM
@BenBrocka People often do the same with mine. I love it.
 
My mousing around is quite slower than average apparently. That said I do play in tiny little windows :P
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz I just really want the shirt
 
Jin
@RavenDreamer we need to get dinner 'n drinks sometimes. it's due.
 
@BenBrocka If I knock the sensitivity up, yeah, but I don't like it that much. I grew up using a computer where you had to lift the mouse 2 or 3 times to make it across a 10" 640x480 screen. Super fast mouse settings drive me insane
 
I can't stand the "pick up mouse move over" thing
 
12:25 AM
@Jin Indeed. But right now I'm playing starcraft 2.
I'm the zerg's only hope!
Or somethihng.
 
My mouse has adjustable DPI and I kieep it on max unless I need pixel precise movements, so the bottom sensitivity moves less than one pixel per hand movement
 
Wat
 
FAE
@BenBrocka What's the max DPI yours does?
 
Which is very handy for adjusting screen capture window sizes, because arg
 
FAE
I just bought a new mouse for gaming and the max setting is like all holy crap for me.
@Wipqozn I finally picked up the G600.
 
12:27 AM
@FAE Oh my. Get it yet?
 
5700 but it's completely ridiculous, I use 1600
 
That is to say, I assume you ordered it online, and are waiting for it to arrive @FAE
 
FAE
@Wipqozn Yeah, I went to the store and got it on Saturday.
 
Ew MMO mice :P
 
@FAE How are you liking it?
 
12:27 AM
I have a G500
 
@BenBrocka It's good for all games. I always find a use for the buttons.
 
FAE
@BenBrocka Max on the G600 is like 8200. x_X
 
It's also really gross looking
 
12:28 AM
I've never had a mouse four button even
 
Oh, and the last page in Tales from Ponyville is up talesfromponyville.tumblr.com/tagged/chapter2/chrono
 
@FAE the upper bound is only useful if you drop the sensitivity in Windows like crazy
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I'm too lazy to link to my message where I already linked that. But just know that you made REPOOOOOOOOOST
 
@Michel SPELLING
 
YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE
 
12:29 AM
Come to think of it I wonder if it's better to use higher DPI and lower windows sensitivity or vise versa
 
Grace Note on March 12, 2013

You’ve been waiting for it for three years, and now it’s finally here: StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm has arrived. Join Sarah Kerrigan on her quest to assume leadership of the various rival broods of the fractured Swarm and exact her revenge on the Dominion.

You also get to win cool stuff from Arqade! The top prize this time is a sweet graphics card, and we have plush toys and peripherals up for grabs as well.

When you ask and answer questions about SCII: HOTS during the first ten days after launch, you’ll start working your way up through the leagues of AnswerSwarm. Anyone who chooses to participate will be featured in the leaderboards. …

 
@Wipqozn *le gasp*
 
FAE
@Wipqozn Still in the learning curve phase. I really like that I can use the 3rd mouse button to DPI Shift down like while I'm zoomed in sniping and use the lower DPI setting temporarily like that.
 
@FAE I love, love, love the shift button!
 
12:29 AM
definitely not the super high DPI one; it's bumping over the fibers of my mouse pad
 
Jin
@BenBrocka oh Sacha Greif is on ux.se now
 
He is?
 
FAE
@Wipqozn Still working on getting used to like, having it there. Also on a shallow note, I like being able to change the color settings per profile.
 
in the blog it says "questions about SCII: HOTS". On answerSwarm.com website it says "Only questions tagged starcraft-2 and answers to those questions that were posted during the contest count." Which one is true? :S
 
@FAE Yeah, it takes a bit of getting used to.
 
12:30 AM
huh so he is
 
@SimonL I noticed that too. Which reminds me... did we ever resolve how we planned to tag SC2 questions?
The campaign will obviously just be hots, but what about multiplayer?
 
@SimonL All HotS questions are tagged
 
FAE
@Wipqozn Do you know if you can choose the particular gradient for the colors? I know I can choose it to like pulse from purple to black (no color/brightness) but can I choose for it to go from purple to another color?
 
@Wipqozn saw the vid. I sorta suspected them to pick another female to even out the cast. Was not expecting a melee (I assume) focused character since there's already Zero
 
There won't be a separate tag for the expansion
 
12:32 AM
@FAE I think so. Let me take a look.
 
The wording should be cleared up. As it stands, it is a little bit confusing.
 
@BenBrocka I don't own the game so didn't look at anything but the title. I just figured it would be relevant to the interests of certain users.
 
@FAE what polling rate do you run your mouse at?
 
Also on tags how is quake-3-pro-installer a tag? gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/quake-3-pro-installer
 
@BenBrocka Think more along the lines of Brick. Zero was always more analogous to Mordecai.
 
12:35 AM
@MBraedley Mordecai didn't have a melee focused tree though, did he?
 
FAE
@BenBrocka Left it on the default 500 for now.
 
And Salvadore already does the tank thing
 
@SimonL What? What tag? I don't see no tag. You must have gone mad or something.
 
FAE
Can go down to 125, up to 1,000
 
I had mine on 500, I'ma try it on 1000 (the max on mine) for a bit
Doesn't consume noticeable CPU cycles
 
12:35 AM
@BenBrocka No, fair point. They're both primarily snipers though
 
oh zeus
I never tried using the max DPI setting for this before
8200 DPI
Not sure if brilliant, or terrible.
 
FAE
@BenBrocka I'm kind of honestly unsure how well I'd be able to determine a difference
 
@MBraedley I've heard better things about Zero's melee tree than Brick's though
 
FAE
@Wipqozn It's insane, I can't really use it
 
Jin
I guess I'll have to finish the SC2 original campaign now.
 
12:36 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone .... There was a tag there....
 
@Wipqozn It introduces ridiculous sway on my mouse, so speed aside it's unusable
 
@FAE You just tap it and it moves across the whole screen.
 
@BenBrocka I was never really a fan of Brick's ability to begin with, though.
 
FAE
@Wipqozn It goes across both my monitors really fast, lol
 
@FAE Same here.
I'm using it right now though.
 
12:37 AM
At least with Phasewalk on Lilith, you could get close to enemies.
 
I should probably just use it, and become good with it, so when other people use my mouse they die.
 
@MBraedley When I was trying brick we were playing couch co op and we'd just laugh the entire duration of his skill as he screamed constantly
 
I'm starting to get used to it..
 
FAE
@Wipqozn I've kept my regular desktop mouse plugged in so I can just use that for windows stuff. :P
 
12:38 AM
I vastly prefer my G500 for regular windows stuff and gaming
 
FAE
@BenBrocka My other mouse is a MX Revolution
 
Well, I'm going to watch Walking Dead and some YouTube. Later all.
 
FAE
First gen
 
DAMN IT PEOPLE STOP TALKING WHEN I'M TRYING TO REPLY! I'M NOT USED TO THIS 8200 DPI YET!
GOOOOOOD
 
@FAE does that have the togglable wheel? I love that on my G500
 
12:40 AM
@FAE Sounds revolutionary! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
 
FAE
@BenBrocka Yes. I've been using it since like 2007, I don't want to give it up. My old one died and my b/f managed to find me another first gen one.
 
the MX's shape seemed a bit weird to me
 
FAE
@BenBrocka It's actually quite comfy. And I like the weight.
 
And the G500 fits my large hands well. My hand almost entirely fits on it! ...almost
I like the adjustable weights
 
FAE
Ah, my hands aren't that big.

user15026
12:41 AM
@BenBrocka My pinky always dangles off the side of whatever mouse I use
 
user15026
When I use my travel mouse its even worse
 
Yeah no avoiding that
I'm just glad I can rest my fingers flat
mostly
 
Oh fuck guys. I stayed in 8200 for too long. My mouse feels too slow in lower settings now. Fuck.
 
user15026
On this one, my ring finger also dangles
 
user15026
its weird
 
12:43 AM
about the g500, its on sale right now on amazon, I got it for 30$ :)
 
FAE
@BenBrocka But yeah, I love the free scrolling wheel too much to give it up.
 
thanks @BenBrocka for the suggestion
 
Cool, it's a wonderful mouse
 
I'm going to try this in a game.
 
I love being able to switch modes. Free scrolling is neat sometimes but horrific in games
 
FAE
12:43 AM
@BenBrocka Haha yeeeeeah
Great for long documents though and webpages.

Q: Diablo 3 constant freeze lag spike, but low MS and constant FPS

BeebeeI'm sorry if tech support is outside the context of this site. If so you may close this question. Just recently I've started getting lag spikes. I used to get this lag spike all the time but only whenever a new player joined my party game. But just recently few days ago when I started the game, ...

 
Yeah, I've occasionally used it in game to scroll when each scroll tick is way too small
I am also far too aware of how my mouse pointer is moving right now
 
FAE
@BenBrocka It's like when people point out your breathing.
 
user15026
Is there a shortcut in Word 2010 to paste as plain text?
 
You are all now manually swallowing.
 
12:47 AM
@AshleyNunn I think you can right-click and do a "paste special"
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn Shift+Ctrl+V
Should work for most stuff, I believe
 
Ugh I hate that it copies styles so much
 
user15026
@AnnaLear Yeah, I knew that, but I wanted something a bit more keyboard-y
 
user15026
Also, it still kept the stupid line formatting :(
 
12:48 AM
I totally wanted to copy that blurb of text in 56 point Impact font with a pink background, thanks, Word
 
user15026
@BenBrocka oh totally why wouldnt you
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz What makes it awesome?
 
@AshleyNunn Everything. It is... somewhat hard to describe: Think city management meets choose your own adventure in which you shepherd a clan of magical vikings from settling down in a new land through the process of forming a tribe with your neighbors, and eventually, having one of your clan declared King. Along the way, you will be able to exorcise evil spirits that have haunted your farmers by launching legal claims against them, enact bizarre magical LARP activities to reenact the stories...
of the gods and acquire new magical powers, make war and peace and trade with your neighbors, and possibly even make friends with the neighboring tribe of duck men, who worship the god of death, loathe necromancy, and are fantastic allies but terrifying foes.
 
FAE
@LessPop_MoreFizz When does this deal end?
 
Sounds like dwarf fortress but sane
 
12:52 AM
@FAE In 3 hours according to the website it looks like.
Seems like it was a weekend deal that I never got an email about.
 
FAE
@LessPop_MoreFizz Shall purchase before I sleep then, thanks
 
@badp In some ways, yes. It's more choose your own adventurey than DF though.
 
My problem with gog is I forget I own games with them
 
@badp Yeah, this has happened to me as well sometimes.
 
@badp Heh, what games do you own there?

Hint, gog lists games in reverse acquirement chronological order
 
GOG needs to get Mindmaze.
 
FAE
@badp acquisition :)
 
@badp Well then, you have made a wise purchase. :)
I guess, if I wanted to shorten my long KODP description from above, I would boil it down to: "Choose your own adventure cow management and acquisition simulator"
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Sold.
 
FAE
1:01 AM
G'night all, thanks for the heads up, @LessPop.
 
@FAE G'night!
 
user15026
@FAE Sleep well pretty lady
 
Hmm... if a half a dozen of us own KODP I might try to start up a PBEM/hotseat game in a few weeks if people would be interested.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't know what any of that means, but I picked it up too.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I looked into the game I was uncertain if I would buy it... until I saw this
Going through the checkout now.
 
1:03 AM
@Wipqozn Saw.
 
@Fluttershy hmm..
seen
 
@Wipqozn Fun fact: putting a link that short at the end of a line makes it unclickable without starring it!
 
It's not a script.
 
@Wipqozn Eurmali are the best!
 
"They are really funny looking cows"
 
1:04 AM
(Eurmali = tricksters, they are worshippers of the Trickster god, and are essentially absolved from all laws.)
 
Seriously... I need to play Mindmaze again. Does anyone know how I can do that.
 
Everyone should also buy Heroes of Might and Magic III while it's on sale./
 
@Wipqozn As for what that means, because the game is so turn based, what you can do is pass around a save file, playing a few years (and documenting what you do with copious screenshots!), and then passing it on.
Think Dwarf Fortress succession games.
 
So many games I want to play, so little budget to play them....
 
user15026
@Wipqozn Whats it like?

I'm not sure if signing up for the reminder service is such a good idea now

Q: Trying to track down an old point-and-click adventure PC game

JMTylerThere's an old point-and-click adventure game I used to play on my PC, probably in the early- to mid-90's. It might have been released in the early 90's or in the 80's, I'm not sure. I don't know this game's title, and I'm having a hard time converting my memories of the game into relevant sear...

 
@AshleyNunn Heroes of M&M... best description I could give you is that the series is like a hybrid of D&D and Civilization.
 
I tried HoMM. I'm not entirely sure what to make of it.
The turn based strategy part I like, but the real time combat was so weird I just kept letting the computer do the battle for me
 
@Lazers Sci fi is leaking.
 
1:19 AM
And the interface and graphics are... about what you'd expect from a game that old
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I love the graphics.
 
@Wipqozn Not my cup of tea
They look like cardboard cutouts and clip art
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz sticks her finger in the hole to dam the Scifi leakage
4
 
@Lazers What is with the walls of text today?
 
@AshleyNunn: Turn-based strategy. You explore the map with different heroes, who also carry around your armies for you. You have castles which you need to build up, so that you can have stronger units, spells, et cetera. It's kind of hard to describe.
 
1:22 AM
@AshleyNunn Aww, you're no fun
 
IF you've ever seen Age of Wonders of Kings Bounty, it's very similiar.
 
user15026
@SaintWacko I already get myself into enough trouble.
 
@AshleyNunn :D
I had my decontextificator all fired up and everything
 
user15026
@SaintWacko I figured you did
 
user15026
1:23 AM
I know how badly you treat me ;)
 
Oh my
That brings back memories.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I'd look into 5 and 6. They improved the combat a good deal.
 
Queue the SCII madness :)
 
That gives a good idea of the game.
 
@Ktash Why do the madness have to come in FIFO?
 
Jin
1:28 AM
that game needs a remake
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Madness in a stack? What are you, crazy?!
 
It's "cue", by the way ;) /pedant
 
user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone FIFO?
 
First in first out. The characteristic of a queue data structure
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone FIFO always makes me think of Soccer/Football.
 
1:35 AM
That would be FIFA
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Only if I didn't mean that it was queuing in a line of things that we needed to take care of ;)
 
@AshleyNunn Ah, yeah, I'm just awful :P
@Jin I don't know anything about that game, but have you played Munchkin?
 
Anyway, like I said, I can't recommend HoMM. The graphics and interface is poor. The TBS part is okay, but there are much better options out there, and the combat is just weird
 
user15026
@SaintWacko The worst.
 
user15026
also, I have a two pound bag of mini eggs :D
 
1:38 AM
@AshleyNunn chocolate mini eggs?
 
user15026
@SaintWacko yep
 
@AshleyNunn I'm jealous
 
> We could paint a horse white. I've done it before.
I love this game.
I'm not 100% sure what's going on, but I love it. It's hilarious.
 
@Wipqozn lol what game?
 
@spugsley King of Dragon Pass.
 
1:46 AM
@Wipqozn You have a Trickster on your ring don't you. (As you should! Tricksters rule!)
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I believe so. I just started the tutorial. Only to discover it's useless without having the manual open too.
 
@Wipqozn The manual is important to read. Many many things are not covered anywhere but the manual.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, I'm starting to notice. I'll probably read the manual tomorrow, since I won't be able to play much more tonight.
 
Also, your advisors will give good advice, but have definite biases, based on a number of factors, including their stats, the god they worship, and in some cases, a randomly generated raging hate-boner for a particular group or species.
(For the last, i.e. I once had a Chalana Arroy (pacifist healing goddess) worshipper who demanded at all times, even when it was totally not relevant to the matter at hand, that I needed to enact genocide on all elves everywhere immediately. Even when negotiating a wedding dowry, he would remind me of how much he hated and wanted to kill Elves.)

Q: What is the "canonical" option for the Wings of Liberty split missions?

Raven DreamerWings of Liberty had 2 "split" missions, where you had to choose sides: Safe Haven / Haven's Fall, where you had to pick between Dr. Hanson and Executor Selendis Breakout / Ghost of a Chance, where you had to pick between Tosh and Nova. Playing the second campaign mission in Heart of the Swar...

Q: Changing the ending of "Suffer with Me"

DannyWhen at the ending of "Suffer with Me," how do I change the ending? I've pressed rewind story at the replay mission but I always have to kill "Menendez." I've even rewinded the entire campaign and it never works.

Q: Why are my maps "streaming data"?

Raven DreamerI've noticed that, with the advent of Battle.net 2.0 (maybe earlier), playing the campaign references "streaming data" from the battle.net servers. Since the campaign maps exist locally (viewable within the editor) and are available offline, why does the game need to stream in additional informa...

@Lazers @RavenDreamer you can't even wait and give anyone else a chance, can you? ;)
 
oh my, I got 31 horses from those horse savages that tried to raid me.
 
@Wipqozn The other thing that's worth doing is reading the two amazing LP's that were done on SA of the game - only one of them is in the archive at the moment but I know the other has been submitted and will probably be up soon. (The other one in particular is really informative, because it shows 1: A clan that has incredibly terrible luck all the time, but turns things around in spite of it, and 2: a number of Glorantha lore experts post a ton of
incredibly informative deep dive lore stuff that really makes you realize just how insane and amazing and deep Glorantha is as a setting.)
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Okay, I'll do that. thanks.
 
The one I linked is cool in that it shows a super super successful clan being super successful.
But honestly, best way to learn KODP is to fail a bunch and read the manual.
@Wipqozn 31 horses is a lot of horses.
 
I figured the failing a bunch was true, since you compared it to Dwarf Fortress.

that is like... 300 cows worth of horses.
You should sell some horses to get more cows.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz There were a lot of nomads.
 
(Assuming of course, that you have sufficient weaponthanes.)
@Wipqozn Yeah, Horse Spawn tend to strike in force. Early game, they can be devastating, but late game, they mainly just show up and give you free horses, which you can then convert to cows via trade.
 
@AshleyNunn Heh, who starred while there was still time to edit? Seems unlike the bridge ;)
