@Fluttershy I think that deal's over
 
@kalina I'm more of a hardware guy. I know how to look up what I want to do with code and change it to make it work for me.
 
A robot? Is a hardware guy? hmmm...
 
I should do something with all these Arduinos....
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Yep. Weekend Deal is Farming Simulator 2013 and Dishonored.
 
user15026
@FEichinger drools over Dishonored
 
5:04 AM
@AshleyNunn It's still 25 bucks ... I'm torn.
 
user15026
@FEichinger Well, that's $25 more than I have.

@FEichinger $30, not $25
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Oh. It is. Dang. I hadn't refreshed my Steam store page today. x_x
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone USD vs Euro. :P Same ballpark, though.
 
@FEichinger Ah. Steam store uses USD for me, which usually has a slightly better price than Euro I believe
 
5:08 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It depends. A couple of months ago, when we had almost 1:1, Euro was a tad bit better. But right now, we're back to USD being cheaper, as far as I know.
 
Surprisingly enough I have exhibited remarkable self restraint in not buying much games even though I'm subscribed to reddit.com/r/GameDeals
I suppose it helps that a lot of the deals are US only

Q: Why Can't I Delete a Darksiders Save File? (PC)

HenryEvery time, I press "continue" from the start menu of Darksiders, no matter how many times I quick saved in the session before, it always starts me reasonably, but not exactly close to where I was when I quicksaved. Also, there's one save file I can't delete with a blue icon on it. Anyone else ha...

 
user15026
My self-restraint is amazing right now, because paying rent is a real concern right now. Which puts a lot of things in perspective. (Wow, that sounds really terrible.)
 
I've got a month till enlistment, and I'm almost completely broke
 
Enlistment?
 
5:18 AM
I have, hmmm, $120, out of which I have to fund one meal per day on weekdays, set aside $15-20 for printing and mailing a poster for a promised poster exchange, and bus fare for getting around Singapore. Those are the essentials. I don't want to run down my bank account till the last cent.
@OrigamiRobot Mandatory military service
 
I did not know that was a thing for you.
 
@OrigamiRobot Basic military training, then ~1.5 years of service
 
Hopefully it won't be too bad. They classified me with a as unsuitable for frontline service because I'm asthmatic, which means I would be getting "modified" basic military training, whatever that's suppose to be
Oh, and of course it's for male only.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone you should run away
 
5:23 AM
I'd probably be in a similar situation because I have a huge scar on my stomach and it prevents me from doing long strenuous activity.
 
And before you ask, it sucks. Really, really sucks. You're forced to take a two year break in your education. You graduate from university at 24 or 25, then you have to go find a job and start a family almost immediately.
 
user15026
I can get out of most stuff, hydrocephaly and female-gendered ftw
 
user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone That is unfun
 
seriously though, emergency evac from Singapore
 
And nobody really believes the military actually does anything. It's the 21st century. The Cold War's long over. Indonesia is not a dictatorship anymore, even Malaysia is on relatively good terms.
 
5:26 AM
You have crazy people to the south.
 
Indonesia? They're fine.
 
DPRK
 
That's North. Way North. Like, so far away nobody really gives a shit.
 
I AM BAD AT GEOGRAPHY
 
Singapore is not part of China.
Around Singapore, you have, in approximate order of distance, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Burma, Vietnam, the Philippines, China, Australia, East Timor, India
 
5:29 AM
I've already given up. No need to keep going.
 
You know, I've always wondered how many US states I can name from memory. I've never being to the US before.
 
Hell, I probably can't name them all.
 
Let me try
Rhode Island, Delaware, New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North and South Carolina, Florida, Georgia
Washington, California, Colorado, Texas, Nevada, Alabama, Mississippi
Montana, North and South Dakota, Hawaii, Alaska, Michigan
 
is Rhode Island actually a state?
 
Missouri, Maryland, Ohio
@kalina I believe it is
 
user15026
5:36 AM
@kalina yep!
 
well, that's my learning quota for today reached
 
Not a very exciting thing to learn.
 
in all fairness, I figured the clue was in the name
 
Nnhnnn... how many did I name so far?
 
user15026
5:38 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone 21 I think
 
23 assuming they're all valid
 
25. Ehhhh, I thought I'd do better than that
 
wow, I'm going to bed
 
North and South Carolina and Dakota are all different states I believe
 
I can't even count
 
user15026
5:39 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone oh, yeah, thats true
 
There's one more which I can't spell which the spell check isn't helping me with
 
wisconsin, virginia, utah, maine, louisiana
 
misspissippi
illinois, inidiana, iowa
 
@kalina Already got that one
 
5:40 AM
Miss Pissippi? Really now? :P
 
@FEichinger look, I just counted 25 things as 23
leave me alone
 
Don't pick on sleepy people

@kalina The Best US state
 
New Hampshire?
 
5:42 AM
I want to say ontario but something keeps exploding in my head telling me I'm horrifically wrong
I'm sleeping now
 
@kalina I think that's Canadian
 
Vermont
 
I think we're up to 37 states, not counting KFCland
 
kansas, dorothy
kfcland is a state
its called kentucky
 
5:44 AM
I like Kentucky, I met a very cute girl there.
 
I keep forgetting Kansas is a state, because it's also a city

Oh wait... Am I playing the wrong game?
 
@kalina And I got that one
 
@Fluttershy No, you just interpret the rules differently.
 
5:45 AM
@kalina And that one too. Sorry, I'm trying to count here
 
Good. rolls over to other side
 
@Fluttershy Charmeleon, Wartortle, Mewtwo Tentacruel Aerodactyl
 
@AshleyNunn Fun fact, that's actually in order if you listen to the pokerap. =P
 
texas?
no you got that one too
 
user15026
@Fluttershy it is!

Does DC count as a state?

Q: While defending my castle, does garrison or my own party spawn first?

AndrewNordFaceMy garrison list puts a bunch of archers at the top, which is fine. But I'm also going to need a bunch of infantry at the beginning, since the Khanate outnumbers me 10 to 1. I need to hold the wall from the very beginning. So, if I put a bunch of Huscurls at the top of my party list, will they...

 
oklahoma
 
5:47 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Nope. Not a state, federal territory.
 
the one that rhymes with translyvania
 
@kalina Pennsylvania
Is that how you spell it? Man.
 
I don't know, i'd struggle spelling my own name at this point
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Yep.
 
conneticut
 
5:49 AM
I'm relying heavily on Firefox's spell check for this
 
@kalina Luckily, you just need to type the K and then hit tab!
 
@Fluttershy you should try that so you can see it doesn't work
 
Alright... I'm heading to sleep. G'night, Bridge!
@kalina
 
on yourself -.-
 
@agent86 and then you go for the real all time high which is not mine
 
5:50 AM
Oh. You meant with my own name.
Yeah........ sleep time.
 
i think we managed 40 between us
everything we missed isn't important
nn
 
So that's more like 300 flags to catch up to, which will still definitely happen but still
 
Why are we naming US states anyway?
 
Maybe somebody needs to cheat at blendo games' educational title in the humble weekly sale
 
@kalina You can use any of the T1 frigates, especially the attack frigates like Condor, Slasher, ... as a tackler
 
6:54 AM
Exam time ... See ya in a couple of hours guys.

Q: Starcraft 2 - freeing Raynor (spoiler)

Q: How do I defeat Jaguar Javier in Guacamelee?

DrTwoxThe previous bosses all had obvious attack patterns and were easily defeated. Jaguar Javier has no attack pattern that I can see; he just seems to spam his moves and regenerate shields before I can deal any significant damage. How can I defeat him?

morning @djsmiley2k
job interview?
 
hi@blem how goes it?
Yah
Weird situation, I really really want the job, but don't really need it.
As in theres nothing wrong with my current role.
 
great, the code i spend an hour trying to compile yesterday was fixed in under a min this morning and it looks like it is working
 
heh, what was wrong with it, and was it you that fixed it?
 
I did some copy pasting when adding a new menu point
each page has 2 columns, the main page you want shown and a column showing some information about the car you are working on

Q: Dark Souls retail version to Steam?

user1165499Is it possible, to register Dark Souls retail version on Steam (I don't want just add it to steam library but to account as other steam games)? Box version is really nice, so I'm gonna buy it, but I cannot find info about registering.

 
8:15 AM
and even though it is the same page for all menu points that is shown in the 2nd column it needs a unique name or validation at compile time fails with out getting a good description of what failed
 
Oh I love that kind of thing.

Q: Is it normal for PS3 controllers to constantly lose their charge?

AubergineI've noticed for quite a while now that all of my PS3 controllers lose their charge even if they are not being actively used (I have three, this almost always means that by the time the one I am currently using runs out of charge, the ones I pull out of the closet, which were fully charged when I...

REQUEST. Could please four kind people vote for reopen this question? gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/113687/…
 
Hmmmmm why>?
 
@djsmiley2k Because my question is completely different from the question that was linked to mine. Also my question is much more complete than the other.
 
Hmmmm not really
Yes you have more infomation, but the answer is the same
There is unlimited unnamed random dragons who do respawn. There is a limited number of named special dragons.
 
@djsmiley2k I give you €50 for the vote. ;)
 
I can't vote :P
I'm just answering your question out of kindness and boredom.
btw it's a very cliq here, good luck changing peoples minds.

Q: How much time for an orange weapon?

NiteCyperIn Dead Island, orange-rarity items spawn at random (outside of vendors) at a high, if not 100%, chance, after a certain amount of time.

Q: Is it possible to complete this challenge in every map?

NiteCyperIn Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction, one of the most difficult challenges that can be devised is to get to the end of a Deniable Ops map (by subduing all of the enemies) with these restrictions: - pistol only, - no gadgets, - hand-to-hand kills only, - one attempt (no retries, restart from ...

Q: How do I enter "God-mode"?

NiteCyperI've also called it ghosting because of its characteristics, but Godmode is the more popular term. In Borderlands, by dying in a certain way by reaching a horizontal or bottom edge of the map, which causes instant death, one may enter God-mode. The people that I play with (OnLive) usually try to...

Q: Does reflect prevent damage in Torchlight 2?

Q: Is it possible to change city size on the new simcity 5?

Luis Valencia MunozIs it possible to change city size on the new simcity 5? I heard many people complaining about being 2km x 2km, but havent found yet if somebody has done a trick or if maxis is going to change it?

Gordon Brown is PM, and facing the Iraq War enquiry. There's mention of a recession. There's mention of an iPad... wait a second. Yeah, the author definitely revised the story after the fact

Well, the first two facts are predictable. Hell, Gordon Brown becoming PM after Blair is probably inevitable
But the iPad? Definitely not.

Subjective stack overlow

Proposed Q&A site for all those who remember the "good old days" when stack overlow allowed (tolerated) subjective questions and had tags like "best practise" and "books". When one could ask for opinions from experts.

@LessPop_MoreFizz wat
Isn't that...y'know, programmers?
 
@tombull89 No. Programmers won't tolerate book questions either

Huh. My only question on SO is a book one. Was asked a long time ago though.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Argh.
Graarl.
 
@GraceNote I'm here to help.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz So a Stack Overflow that isn't a Q&A site, essentially?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz At the end of the day, this is all about some "stack overlow" place.

Maxis?

@agent86 You've been at his back ever since the Pope.
 
I didn't realize "the Pope" was a generally recognized point in time
"Hey where's Bob today?" "Didn't you hear? He's been laid-off since the Pope"
 
hmmmm
 
It's Friday!
 
1:15 PM
YES
 
@OrigamiRobot Card style is weird...
 
@GraceNote It's from the set Future Sight. It sounds like Grace Language.
 
@BenBrocka If "Popely" can be an adjective, then "the Pope" can be a point of time. That's my flawed logic and I'm sticking to it.
 
it looks really old
 
@GraceNote That sort of reasoning hasn't been sound in a Pope's age
 
1:17 PM
Probably could use more consecutive consonants.
 
there's arguably six in a row at the end there!
 
@GraceNote this is true. that pope thing got real
 
@GraceNote The proper adjective is 'Papal'.
 
I prefer 'Popely'.
 
Popesome
 
1:24 PM
Popely.
 
Popetacular
 
Papal sounds like a potato
 
It was a Popetastrophe
 
@agent86 That said, both Juan and the pope, are from Argentina.
 
@OrigamiRobot I think it sounds like something of or related to papayas
 
1:25 PM
Papal sounds like a certain payment processing service
 
So, I heard someone say I should come back and say perverted things.
 
Mar 13 at 19:39, by agent86
that's it juan, first it was permanent markers, NOW IT IS THE POPE. it's on, now, man. you'd better never show your face around here.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I was going to be pope, but then someone from argentina stole it. I'm pretty sure it was juan.
I've never forgiven him for it, or the sharpie fiasco
although I got my own SE sharpie, so we're kind of even and I guess I could bury the hatchet.... but nah
 
Burying a hatchet with a sharpie sounds like a needlessly awkward task
 
needlessly awkward is my middle name
agent "needlessly awkward" eightysix
 
1:30 PM
That sounds needlessly awkward.
 
Well, it is.
 
@Unionhawk yea
 
@OrigamiRobot that's why I usually write "n/a" as my middle name
just shorter that way
 
So THAT'S what N/A means on forms
 
sage nod
 
1:32 PM
TIL
 
Prom date: N/A
 
@agent86 Nice.
...it's weird to see someone with the same handle as someone you knew in another community, but it's not the same handle.
It's the kind of handle that's not, y'know, supra-unique, but at the same time it's enough that it's uncommon, so it's still confusing a bit.

Overclocking

Proposed Q&A site for all Overclockers, Hard Core overclocking or moderate overclocking, anyone who wants to dig in and optimize their computers. Also UnderClocking, DownClocking, RightClocking, and other forms of rig optimization, whether for speed, heat, noise, power...

Currently in definition.

 
Overclocking is what tiggers do best.

@OrigamiRobot ohh dont I wish
 
That... seems like a super user thing?
 
1:37 PM
@Sconibulus semi, but not completely
also figured gamers are the usual hardcore OC'ers... ;-)
 
Morning, Bridge
 
What about overclocking remixes?
 
I'm not hardcore anything.
 
Not really. I'm not sure if any of us here does that.
 
1:38 PM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone well, thats why I asked... :)
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Don't tell them that the sun emits massive quantities of electromagnetic radiation across an extremely wide range of frequencies
 
@OrigamiRobot Wups
 
Besides, games are usually GPU not CPU bounded these days, right?
 
Wait, I didn't say*good* morning. I win!
 
Except for Dwarf Fortress, of course
@OrigamiRobot Top of the evening to you too, monsieur
 
1:39 PM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I never mentioned CPU... GPUs can be overclocked too, apparently
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I don't speak Spanish.
 
My 7870 has support for overclocking...runs everything I want to play fine though, so I see no need.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Depends. Flash games sure are CPU bound
 
Yeah, my solution is generally "Give up" or "Buy better hardware", depending on money (so normally "give up")
 
I can run BF3 on Ultra but flash games on high still lag sometimes (but in their defense, flash is awful)
 
1:41 PM
@BenBrocka But even Flash has GPU acceleration these days
 
Or "attempt to play at 3 frames"
 
It does?
 
@Unionhawk Ah, the badp approach.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Turning that on breaks Flash every time in my experience.
 
@TimStone He turned off textures and he's up to 4 frames now
 
1:42 PM
Of all the games my computer has the most problems with running, it's Minecraft.
 
@tombull89 Mine has the most trouble with Dwarf Fortress
 
Minecraft is only slightly more performant than Flash
 
@TimStone I kid you not, on my school laptop, I tried to play Minecraft at a maximum framerate of about 7 for the longest amount of time before giving up
 
In fact I think Notch made a Java compiler in flash and THEN made minecraft in it
 
@BenBrocka Perhaps it's time to run TF2 in 2D instead of 3D
 
1:43 PM
@BenBrocka When I see some of his screenshots, I feel spoiled. Someone should start a fund to improve his gaming experience. (edited with coffee)
 
Then I got a real computer, with actually decent hardware, and it's fine
 
@SaintWacko Isn't that the one done in AS-oh. Ho ho.
 
@BenBrocka Why would how the java compiler works affect the end result?
@tombull89 Heavily CPU bound
 
@SaintWacko even on a game with that basic graphics?
 
Simulated FPS starts at 150, and drops as my fortress gets busier and busier
@tombull89 Oh yes
Yeah, I was being serious about that. Wasn't a joke
 
1:45 PM
Dwarf fortress is calculating like a billion things at all time
 
Yeah
 
@tombull89 DF is very heavily CPU bound
 
Thermodynamics, Fluid dynamics, dwarven dynamics
Pathing
 
Needs to check for pinkie toe fungus growth every third tick per dwarf
 
Pathing's a big CPU consumer
 
1:46 PM
Temperature is another big one
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Really? I thought it was a big GPU user...
 
I read Dwarf Fortress being a bit like Lemmings...?
 
@BenBrocka I looked at one creature during combat and it showed damage on its left nipple
 
Turning it off will give you a huge boost in framerate
 
@tombull89 Yeah, in the same way that Conway's Life is like Civ 4
 
1:47 PM
@SaintWacko Suddenly horrible thoughts of Forgotten Beasts
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I'll have to try that. What sort of affect will I see on gameplay?
 
@SaintWacko No fire, dorfs can safely walk in magma
Water will not freeze I believe
 
@BenBrocka The first forgotten beast that came up from the caverns started breaking down the first door it saw. It finally got through it and found itself in a room full of angry Faedog mothers protecting their pups
Got torn to shreds
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Nevermind, then
I need water to freeze
 
NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER SET YOUR CLASS LIMITS RELATIVE TO THE TEAM SIZE
 
The real fun starts when you turn off temperature, have dorfs walk around in magma, then turn temperature back on
 
1:49 PM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Haha
Have you heard of a Thermonuclear Catsplosion?
 
Spontaneous dwarven combustion is amazing
 
@badp Why not?
 
@SaintWacko Yeah, seen that one. The result is pretty amazing.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I had a problem with that one time where there was a magma elemental under my lava forges
It kept throwing fireballs at my dwarves
 
@StrixVaria BECAUSE WHEN A FUCKING TEAM MEMBER HAPPENS TO QUIT AN ENGINEER GETS RANDOMLY FUCKING KICKED, ALONG WITH ALL HIS FUCKING TOYS, AND A SPY BACKCAPS DUSTBOWL LAST WITH 20 SECONDS LEFT ON THE CLOCK
 
1:50 PM
So, I tried my hand at editing a TF2 map based on one of Valve's sample vmf files... sdk_arena_ravine.vmf specifically.
Valve WAY overdid the entities on that map. I swear not a single spot on the map doesn't have at least 4 overlapping brushes on it.
 
It's extra helpful if the server conveniently forgets to afk-kick a guy in the meantime who has been afk for 30 minutes as engineer
and then decides that I'm the one who has to suck it and not him
 
I finally had to go in and mod the raws so that all the new Masterwork buildings had impassible squares
Which they should have had in the first place
 
I got annoyed at Hammer when every time I'd try to select a door (by double-clicking it), it would "select multiple objects" without explaining what the other objects were.
 
@SaintWacko You mean the magma forges didn't have impassable blocks on the magma hole?
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Well, magma forges was a simplification
 
1:53 PM
Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen
 
and then you have to stand random assholes blaming the engineers for sucking, when you're second in points with over a hundred
 
It was the magma crucible and a bunch of others
And no, they didn't
 
Also, the func_respawnroom brushes on that map look like they cover the part where players spawn, but they don't. I think I'm going to have to just delete them and create new ones.
 
Fortunately, that's easy to mod in in the raws
 
Morning, Bridge.
 
1:54 PM
I also modded out the 1% chance to catch the dwarf on fire when a dwarf smelts something, because that's just stupid
@Fluttershy Good morning
 
Morning, @RainbowDash.
 
@badp relative class limtis auto-kicks people if the class limits drop or what?
 
@SaintWacko Ahahaha
 
@BenBrocka Yes, that.
 
Wow
 
1:55 PM
It's like "if you have 11 players then you can only have 2 engineers, otherwise you get to have 3. If the team drops below 11, thus, "there is an overflow of engineers in your team" and one gets kicked from the class and his toys get immediately destroyed."
 
@badp You just have to adapt.
 
Playing Russian Roulette with magma. Nice.
 
It's part of the challenge.

@badp By the way, don't EVER do map editing on a slower PC. Maps take several minutes to compile on my two year old then-top-of-the-line PC.
And that's for a smallish arena map. With no bugs (since it was built by Valve)

@Powerlord The speeds of SFM already discouraged me from this deed :/
Maybe decompilation isn't very efficient?
 
@badp This isn't a decompiled copy, this is from the copy that ships with Source SDK
There are two arena maps included with it, which just happened to be the two I want to turn into KOTH maps.
 
@Powerlord That doesn't make sense, how did they then build these maps in 2006?
 
@badp The editing isn't the problem, just the compiling is. I imagine they let them build overnight or built them on a beefy computer.
 
"Oh, it's lunch break. Time to open some maps and check back two hours later!"
 
I wonder how many discharge cycle this tablet battery can handle

oh, compiling
 
Or built them with the "Fast" option which is only for testing minor changes.
The problem being with Fast is that if you're not seeing compile errors, you have no clue if graphical glitches are your fault or not.
 
Similar class kicking bullshit happens when the server autobalances a guy who happened to be playing that full class
