@badp Older servers being any that are running the current non-beta server.

Are you guys talking about the OcRift beta?

So yes, I'd like to be able to connect to my own standard TF2 server while opting to test the beta client on different servers.

I'm I really the only person who thinks this is a poorly researched question? gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/109820/… :P

even the answers are bad and not necessarily relevant in the future

9:13 PM

any mmo can have answers which aren't relevant in the future tho

and any game that gets patched?

If i asked whats the normal 3s comp in wow

:P

its not relevant a week from now or next patch

@Brian You mean it's not lock, lock, lock?

@SaintWacko step one: check that they can reach it. Step two: check the rocks aren't forbidden

@Brian A comparative question would be "DPS" and "HEALER". Any class might be the "DPS", but there will always be a "DPS", even if that chanbges week to week.

Q: Will detected hallucinations trigger Widow Mines?

The wiki says that detected hallucinations get the lowest attack priority by the AI, but is that high enough to trigger Widow Mines?

Q: My minecraft block height is only 16 is it a glitch?

Recently I've been working on an adventure map in a normal unmodded vanilla world, but my max block height is only 16. Please help I've been looking for an answer for over a month.

@RavenDreamer I was mostly getting at the poor research of the question, but to your point, certain champions in league fill different roles, so trying to define a champions type by roles played is not really helpful

and thats what the answers were trying to do

9:27 PM

@Brian I don't read it that way at all. I read it as trying to define the roles, not pick and choose which champs fit which role.

The top rated answer doesn't even mention a champ by name

what champion has the role 'Carry'? or 'Bottom'?

any champion

so if your set includes all possible items

its useless in answering anything

@Brian This isn't true in LoL

@Brian I wouldn't really consider Jax or Malphite carries...

I've done it, and on taric, and janna

Win a major tournament as carry Janna and I'll believe you. ;)

Just because it can be done, doesn't make it the norm

9:30 PM

they did, there was an ap janna phase

@RavenDreamer I'd imagine one would get reported for playing Janna as a carry these days...

play 2 supports janna or lulu and taric :P

it was toward the end of season 2

@Fluttershy That's one of my biggest beefs with the game right now - because it's a team game, there's no way to practice unconventional builds unless you're with 4 folks you know.

Compared to starcrafat, which is 1 v 1

@RavenDreamer Yeah, I've done both of those

@RavenDreamer If I played PvP, I'd help you test some!

9:31 PM

I liked building Janna with a lot of AS because her shield gives a flat damage boost. It was really fun, but really terrible.

@Fluttershy Psh. You need to get on my level.

I've also undesignated them, let the game run a bit, then redesignated

KSP's on Steam now, btw.

Up those runner2 scores, son!

And tried moving my meeting area closer to them

9:32 PM

@SaintWacko are dwarves walking over them?

46 mins ago, by Fluttershy

Oh hey, KSP, Starforge, and Prison Architect are now on Steam.

@RavenDreamer Yes

@Fluttershy What is prison architect, anyway

@Fluttershy Is Starforge that game @fbueckert is pissed about?

@RavenDreamer I don't wanna hear it. I got my scores on Just Right or Rather Hard! You played on Easy!

9:32 PM

On there way to the water

@RavenDreamer Kinda like DF, apparently

@SaintWacko Do you have a lot of to-be-built constructions on the map?

But of course a lot simpler

@StrixVaria Nope. Starforge is the space/Minecraft/FPS thing. @fbueckert is mad about um... Star Command? I think?

@RavenDreamer Nope

@Fluttershy Easy has less obstacles i.e., less opportunity for points!

9:33 PM

I thought about that

@Fluttershy Yes

@RavenDreamer Not when you can spend half the level dancing.

All star* games are the same.

@StrixVaria Ah... no...

@Fluttershy Yes. Star Command.

StarSector is amazing

9:34 PM

@Fluttershy Hm. More of a tossup, I think.

@StrixVaria Like all Star* movies are the same?

That's a good question.

@SaintWacko were I not at work, I'd tell you to upload a save and I'd take a look personally

@RavenDreamer Not quite. o_o Dancing at Extra = 10k points, jumping a goomba at Extra = 4k points.

@JasonBerkan Exactly.

@RavenDreamer I'm sure I'm missing something silly

9:34 PM

1-1 definitely gives you more points on Easy + Dance spam

later levels... not so much

@RavenDreamer Also, I think Prison Architect is kind of like Evil Genius, but for prisons? Maybe?

@Fluttershy Yeah, but 3x the goombas.

I believe Star Trek and Star Wars exist in the same canon.

If you'll let me know when you get home, I'll upload a save if I'm still having the problem

@Fluttershy Not played that. Except maybe?

9:35 PM

Oh, do you play Masterwork?

@RavenDreamer You can dance 6~ times in the span of three goombas.

No, that was mastermind something.

I think.

@StrixVaria There must be a level of Star Wars canon where this is true.

@Fluttershy HYPERBOLE DETECTED

There once was a fairly detailed website that worked out who would win in a Federation vs The Empire fight.

9:36 PM

Dancing might help, but I think that's more because you have easy dance opportunities on easy, and harder dancing opportunities on quite hard. if you danced on all the possible (.5sec twitch position) places, you might see a difference.

@JasonBerkan While I prefer Star Trek to Star Wars, it kinda seems like The Empire would win

@Fluttershy Let us say, then, it is easier to max out on points on easy, than it is to maximize points on harder difficutlies.

@JasonBerkan If I remember correctly, the Empire doesn't even come close to standing a chance.

@SaintWacko That was the conclusion, due to a) The Force and b) the fact that travel speeds in Star Wars are orders of magnitude faster than Star Trek.

@JasonBerkan Yeah

9:37 PM

@RavenDreamer I will agree with that.

I remember the opposite due to Star Trek technology using "phasers" rather than "lasers" because lasers are outdated and worthless, and all of Star Wars technology being based around lasers.

Star Trek shields pretty much nullify all laser weaponry.

However, I don't give a shit and I'm not going to get in an argument about it.

Star Wars doesn't use lasers

@StrixVaria No, I believe the Star Wars ships were irrelevant. However, they could move so fast, they did not have to fight.

the bolts don't fire instantly

they're plasma somethings, IIRC

"Blaster Bolts"

or whatnot

They are made up Lucas bullshit.

Monster Hunter review

@fbueckert Sorry if the mere mention of that game ruined your day! =(

@Fluttershy I have Monster Hunter. Nothing could ruin my day.

@fbueckert If I had a WiiU, I would potentially play it. Sadly, I can not afford a WiiU.

@Fluttershy Win the lottery already!

Geez.

@Fluttershy If you ever decide to get it in the future, let me know.

I'll happily go monster huntering with you.

@RavenDreamer I wish... I wish.

9:43 PM

If I had a Wii U for some reason, I would already own Monster Hunter 3.

I will probably be getting a Wii U at some point

The "Buy @Fluttershy, @SaintWacko, @RavenDreamer (especially RavenDreamer) and @OrigamiRobot WiiUs for Monster Hunter 3" Fund is now accepting donations!

@Fluttershy ahem

Speaking of, DLC is done downloading! Back to playing!

@SaintWacko What? It's a charitable cause.

9:44 PM

@Fluttershy Oh, no, that's fair enough. I need one too, though!

@Fluttershy Motion to amend Fund's name to, "Buy everyone on the Bridge a Wii-U for Monster Hunter 3"?

@RavenDreamer Motion denied. Too expensive.

@Fluttershy OVERRULED!

Well, okay.

@RavenDreamer UNDERRULED!

@Fluttershy ಠ_ಠ

9:46 PM

MODABUSE

What am I kidding. I'll just wait till Arqade has their Monster Hunter 4 promotion, and win a Wii-U that way!

Wait. I think that would require me to own a Wii-U to win a Wii-U.

Hm. How can I finagle this...

@RavenDreamer Then you can send me the extra one.

@RavenDreamer Your overconfidence is your weakness.

@JasonBerkan My weakness is random numbers.

shakes fist at Diablo III contest

DARN YOU RANDOM NUMBER GOD!

@RavenDreamer My weakness is rolling below average on dice. Kind of the same, but different.

9:49 PM

@GnomeSlice I finally figured out how to change the background color.

@fbueckert Apparently, the 3DS version can play with people on the WiiU?

@Ullallulloo Poor Google Reader.

@Coronus :(

@Coronus :(

@Coronus But I signed the petetion! :(

Q: Negatives to gaining levels in Mount & Blade: Warband

Are there any negatives to gaining levels? i.e. enemies will be stronger strictly based on what level your character is.

Q: Is there a trick to skinning and looting?

Is there a trick to this? I just spent a good 30 seconds trying to pickup a relic despite tea-bagging the stupid thing. I've had similar trouble with skinning animals; finding that I have to be in a specific spot for it to work at all. Don't even get me started on the number of times I've throw...

How about we just buy me a Wii U?

@OrigamiRobot Whatever you say, @OrigamiRob.

@Ullallulloo ಠ_ಠ

You can give mine to @OrigamiRob.

10:01 PM

@Coronus ಠ_ಠ

So, it's settled. We'll make a "Buy OrigamiRob a Wii U" fund.

@GraceNote ಠ_ಠ

My stare doesn't even work on mobile

If no one named "OrigamiRob" comes to claim it, well, I guess Raven Dreamer gets it.

@GraceNote ಠ_ಠ

Monster Hunter arrives tomorrow. Imma hunt me some monsters tomorrow! Unlike @origamirobot

10:04 PM

I hate you all

I'll change my name for a Wii U

In other news, remember that time in Doctor Who when the Statue of Liberty was an angel despite it making no goddamned sense? That show has quality plotting.

You're a few hours late

Still gotta get my troll in.

Ugh why is my CPU running at 64C when I'm not even doing anything :(

Curses! shin-megami-tensei-persona is too long! I just created smt-persona. @BenBrocka, you have experience with those games, I think. Thoughts?

10:23 PM

It had cooled down to 45 and now it just instantly jumped back up to 66. I think maybe the temperature sensor is broken.

Man, I used up all my votes for today now.

Q: Why dont i get rewards from the Books of Ryu in other volumes

In .hack, if you didn't lock the Books of Ryu and get all the rewards from from them in a previous volume you would still get them in the next volume but in .hack//G.U, if you did the same, in the next volume you would get cash rewards rather than BGM or Wallpapers, am i missing something when i ...

Q: Why do demons say i'm weak when i ask for a card

in Shin Megami Tensei: Persona, some demons when i get the option to obtain a spell card say i'm being cocky or something and i should get stronger first, thing is one demon was level 21 and Maki (who was talking to the demon) was Level 23 and had a Persona Level of 23 and the demon still said i ...

Q: Does the Snow Queen quest end the game

in Shin Megami Tensei: Persona you have access to the Snow Queen Quest but does it end the game with a alternate ending or can you complete the Snow Queen Quest and continue continue after Kandori

Q: Is there any way to get rid of the Homeless?

I have a functioning Mining/Electronics city with about 100,000 people in it. Looking at my job window I have 0 unemployed. Under 500 Unfilled jobs over all 3 wealth classes. I assume the homeless were triggered at a point in time where I had unemployment higher. Now they are hanging around all ...

Trying to upvote new people to encourage them to stick around. =/

@Lazers While I don't approve of @Lazers interrupting me, I do approve of this question's title.

10:38 PM

@Fluttershy Indeed it can.

With local wireless only, though.

@Ullallulloo feel free to upvote me ;)

@SimonL You'd need another SC2 question or answer to get a t-shirt.

Also, like I said, I ran out for today, so maybe in a couple hours. :P

@Ullallulloo I'll try to think up of a sc2 question. How does, "How long does an enemy unit need to be inside the attack radius of a widow mine to trigger the Unstable Payload ability?"

@SimonL Probably good? I don't have HotS. :P

also for additional information to your previous question Ullallulloo, the Halucination ability on sentrys (ies?) now no longer requires research to provide a possible way to deal with widow mines.

10:43 PM

Copied content, more copied content, and vandalism.

I just met like, the richest grocer ever

@Fluttershy you should read his profile description ;)

So drunka

Today I learned: Steroids are awesome.

@SimonL Oh, that guy

10:58 PM

HI FAVORITEST PEOPLE

@Blem just FYI, I recently played about 20 mins of Amnesia and I'm really considering Let's Playing that just for the lols

I would like to see that

Ooh, IndieGala's new Dwarves bundle, including A Game of Dwarves!

@Blem but in any case, I deleted my blog so there probably aren't many future Let's Plays in the works

@Fluttershy um....elaborate?

@Sterno Turned out to be a giant airtight dustclot, not spyware. Hooray!

@SimonL One hour left.

11:04 PM

one hour left until what?

@SimonL AnswerSwarm ends.

@AshleyNunn That'll teach to to remove your hat.

@spugsley What? O_o

@Ullallulloo in that case, I will try to write out a question quickly!

user43095

11:21 PM

@Fluttershy You said that Steroids are awesome, and spugsley wants you to elaborate.

@jeffreylin_ Oh, I Know that. I just don't know why she wants me to elaborate.

user43095

@Fluttershy Because normal people don't go around saying that steroids are awesome

@jeffreylin_ What gave you the impression that anyone in The Bridge is normal? o_o

2

user43095

@Fluttershy touché

@jeffreylin_ but, steroids ARE awesome. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steroid

@SaintWacko that is a useful article

11:29 PM

@SimonL Yeah, fascination stuff

Widow Mines have been driving me crazy, I'm half tempted to abandon using them because most of the time they do more damage to me than the enemy.

Now c'mon, upvotes. I want a shirt

I want a shirt too :)

I am actually kind of curious who answered first between Decency and SaintWacko

@SimonL Decency by 30 seconds.

Well... 24 seconds, I suppose.

Fluttershy, how do you know that? it says "11 mins ago"?

11:34 PM

@SimonL Hover your mouse over the "11 mins ago" and it'll give you an actual timestamp.

Mai frends!

Do you have any plans for that new video card Raven?

@RavenDreamer Figured out the problem

I hadn't turned on "Gather refuse from outside", and apparently dumping is included under that heading

Ah, what was it?

@SimonL Yeah, I noticed after I posted that he had found the same thing

11:39 PM

@SimonL Downgrade it to a keyboard. I just bought a GTX 670, (not to mention no AMD motherboard)

That's why I went back and added more information

@SaintWacko huh.

@RavenDreamer Yeah

So I flipped that on and now they're collecting the stone

I was about ready to just break through the wall and let the lava incinerate everything in there

@SaintWacko Also a valid choice.

@RavenDreamer I would have done that earlier, but there are some ores I want

Now I just have to figure out the best way to let the lava in

I wish you could make some kind of delayed explosive to take out walls from a distance

11:42 PM

@SaintWacko I would help, but I'm out of votes. :(

@Ullallulloo :(

I just need two more votes!

One question can count for both a +1 and the +5, right?

@SaintWacko Yes.

@Fluttershy ummm....are you taking steroids?

@Ullallulloo Good. Otherwise I wouldn't stand a chance :P

You're one vote away. :P

11:44 PM

If you are reviewing a new answer someone has posted, but don't agree with the answer what should you do?

the answer isn't I guess one hundred percent incorrect, but it doesn't imo fully answer the question.

@spugsley Taking? No. Had to be given a dose today? Yes.

@Ullallulloo Yep looks around hopefully

What are you going for @SaintWacko

@Blem A gold badge

For a shirt

Q: How long does it take a Widow Mine to attack an enemy unit?

I have been trying to incorporate the new Widow Mine unit into my army. When I burrow the Widow Mine their is a circle that indicates it's attack radius. However, I have noticed that when enemy units enter into it's attack radius, the Widow Mine's ability Unstable Payload doesn't activate instant...

11:46 PM

On that question

@Lazers to the rescue!

its the question that mr lazers just so kindly linked.

@SimonL Either downvote or nothing.

I already upvoted that

@SaintWacko One more vote! 12 more minutes!

11:47 PM

@Blem Alright, thanks

@Fluttershy :O

@Fluttershy The suspense!

@spugsley Have you done your duty to get me a shirt? :P

@Ullallulloo You should take back one of your other votes :D

@SaintWacko ....wait...what? O-o

@SaintWacko Can't unless something's edited.

@Ullallulloo Oh, really?

Huh

11:49 PM

@Fluttershy oh oh oh oh for allergies or something not for like I'mma a muscle man!

@spugsley I'm one vote away from being eligible for a shirt

Also, @RavenDreamer is going to be one of the few without a t-shirt. :P

@spugsley It's already allergy season for you?

@Ullallulloo Depends. Last time they decided to give out t-shirts anyway

to everyone

I mean, and it's not like I don't already have:

@RavenDreamer noooo....I'm asking @Fluttershy because he had steroids today

@SaintWacko done

A stack exchange shirt. A stack overflow shirt. A retro-arqade shirt, and a current arqade shirt!

11:50 PM

And I only have 10 more minutes

@spugsley On the answer?

@SaintWacko ...yes

Ah, there

@spugsley Thanks!

:p

@spugsley Correct. And they helped almost instantly. Though, I'm suspecting it was a temporary solution, as the effect seems to be wearing off...

I'm pretty sure I have 3 shirts from Arqade. A retro Gaming.SE shirt, a Diablo 3 shirt, and a shirt with the Galaga fighter logo thing.

11:51 PM

...Why is it not showing up on my profile?

@spugsley some people with asthma take inhaled steroids

@SaintWacko Takes a while to sync.

@Ullallulloo Oh, okay. I must have just caught the sync right earlier

@SimonL puffers are awesome!

You dont have the Diablo shirt @raven

11:52 PM

@MBraedley I'd trade in my puffer to not have asthma any day of the week.

@SimonL fair... but puffers are awesome

@Blem I sure do.

Why do you think I don't?

Oh, because I didn't include it.

I have that one too!

Yes

I never got mine

Mornings @yijiang

I ONLY HAVE 5 WEEKS OF SCHOOL LEFT AND THEN I GRADUATE

I just realized this. YAY

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@Blem Ohai

11:55 PM

Graduating school is overrated.

@spugsley congratulations!

@spugsley no more school means real world. Are you ready for that?

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Time to do Karma *yawn*

@MBraedley Eh. I'm a creative type with a Microsoft man for a husband. I don't really have to be ready for the real world

I'm a photographer :3

@StrixVaria also yes

user image

11:56 PM

@spugsley and a damn fine one at that

Time to find something new to studdy @spugsley

@MBraedley YAY thanks. You just made my day :)

I keep wanting HotS and then I keep remembering how little I enjoyed WoL.

@Blem I'm taking suggestions

@spugsley study food/nutrition.

11:58 PM

What kind of studdy are you finishing

@Blem English - the most useless of studies!
