Someone banned @kalina and she came back and set fire to everything and everyone!
 
points at sign: "All time travellers must be purged with fire"
 
@Sterno sidewaysvotes
 
and now she's gained access to her own time machine and is going to prevent this from ever existing!
 
2:01 PM
@SaintWacko close votes? on an answer?
.oO( hmmm )
 
@kalina Hehe
Or a comment
I didn't specify which side
 
don't upvote @Sterno's answer, just specifically the one he linked
in fact, downvote @Sterno to 10k
 
@Powerlord Have they stopped with the shitty rap battles?
 
@OrigamiRobot No. :(
 
@Powerlord do I still like @OrigamiRobot in the future?
I'm sure I do not demonstrate this much hatred for his childish love of that trading card game
what is it called... Magic the Gathering?
 
2:05 PM
Let me know when they do.

@fredley we should probably stop ERB'ing now, otherwise at some point in the future I'll get banned with a moderator citing "previous warnings" or some fabricated crap like that
 
@OrigamiRobot Haha, did you ignore them?
 
@SaintWacko obviously
 
@OrigamiRobot There's

@FEichinger C-C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER
 
You know he's at work and therefore won't get pings, right?

@SaintWacko Thank you. :)
 
2:07 PM
@kalina Notifications are fun too
 
If they're enabled
I don't have those on, I find them annoying when I'm trying to do something else
wouldn't surprise me if I'm not only person who has them off
 
I always disable ping noises. And I'm always annoyed when the cookie for "no sounds" expires, which seems to happen from time to time
 
I've never had that expire

Q: Not hearing all sounds with new headset. Issue with headset or computer?

wootcatI recently purchased a Plantronics GameCon 380 headset for gaming, mostly for LOTRO. They have 3.5mm plugs for headphones and microphone. When plugged in, I am only hearing background (environmental) sound, not speaking voices. If I pull the plug halfway out, I can hear everything. Before I re...

 
@BenBrocka The ping sound never bothers me.
 
2:13 PM
@fredley I guess if @OrigamiRobot has actually put us on ignore, we can continue for a few more hours
 
checks the transcript OK, @kalina comes off ignore, but @fredley stays.
 
I knew that would work
 
@kalina Excellent timing
 
@fredley thanks
 
@kalina I'll let you choose the battle
 
2:14 PM
@fredley Math.SE vs MathOverflow
 
Nevermind
 
@fredley The 'droid has a critical vulnerability relating to the proper execution of rhymes, you keep him distracted with your lyrical genius and I shall reprogram him to stop giving a damn
 
@kalina Tried to read that as rhyming verse. Broke brain.
 
RIP Google Reader. :(
 
The 'droid has a critical vulnerability relating to the proper execution of rhyme, keep him distracted with your lyrics to buy me some time.
I'll reprogram his sockets with an appreciation of tase, his shiny carcass might not yet have to go to waste.

A: Minecraft Launcher Causing Black Screen and Laggy Cursor

EnruxThe user njallam has provided a good answer to this problem in another question: Launching Minecraft lags computer That solved my problem at least, hope it also solves yours.

wow
 
what
 
@Ullallulloo facedesk
 
sometimes it needs spelling out
if only our close reasons were that helpfully worded
cough cough
 
@kalina Being answered in another question isn't a reason for closing.
 
I originally voted to leave that open, as it might be a different problem entirely.
An answer such as that, as the accepted answer, though, means it's the exact same problem, and should be duped.
 
2:34 PM
But yeah, that's pretty clearly the same question.
 
it definitely should be duped
 
I don't see a reason to downvote that answer though. Certainly don't upvote it, just do nothing.
 
what funpolicebot said
 
@OrigamiRobot It's essentially a link-only answer. I hate those. Mightily.
 
@OrigamiRobot There is a reason: To counteract the upvote/accept. Not sure I agree with that though
 
2:37 PM
@CruelCow That's not a reason.
 
@CruelCow considering the user hasn't been around for 6 months, reputation is not really an issue
 
@fredley Taste*
 
@fbueckert It's also supposed to be a dupe - and the user themselves realized that and still grabbed the answer.
 
@fbueckert Yea, but it's a link to our own site. This user clearly just doesn't know the dupe policy. Don't punish him for that.
 
@ShotgunNinja Too late to edit :(
 
2:38 PM
@OrigamiRobot I don't care. It's a link only answer.
 
@fredley ik
 
I'm not punishing the user. I'm punishing the low quality answer.
 
@fbueckert Incidentally, it wasn't link-only enough for the system to automatically convert it to a comment, heh.
 
@TimStone The system's not perfect. That's why I'm here. To downvote with great prejudice!
 
Voted to delete: It's not an answer
 
2:40 PM
@fbueckert What should he have copy/pasted the entire answer he linked to? The problem with link only answers is link rot.
 
god you people are SO MEAN
 
@OrigamiRobot I don't think he should've done anything.
An answer that goes, "This answer on a different question" is a sucky answer.
I don't care where the link goes.
 
It's a dupe and the answerer is a new user, just explain what he should have done and move on.
 
@OrigamiRobot If it was a new answer, that's exactly what I would've done, along with the downvote.
 
@kalina Being mean is fun! You should try it.
 
2:42 PM
@fbueckert That's not moving on.
 
On a question six months old, and the user not coming back, the comment isn't even needed. Just downvote and move on.
 
I am never mean, I am always a really nice, constructive, friendly, helpful individual
2
come lemmings, star the obvious star bait

Oh, the answer is old too. That makes the downvote even more pointless.
Just close as dupe and move on.
All you did was waste 1 rep.

@CruelCow considering the user hasn't been around for 6 months, reputation is not really an issue
 
@kalina You'll have to try much harder if you want me to star that.
 
2:44 PM
one lemming starred it
 
@kalina YES MA'AM
 
@OrigamiRobot oh what, we're on talking terms again now?
YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST USE ME AND THEN IGNORE ME WHEN IT'S CONVENIENT FOR YOU?
 
I WILL BURN YOUR LIFE TO THE GROUND, I WILL DESTROY YOUR SOUL, I WILL BE always really nice, constructive, friendly and helpful.
 
Robots have no souls.

I don't think you're really a robot

@kalina Bait is not included
This refers to things that you don't want starred
 
setting fire to myself was my solution for unseeing what I had just seen
 
@kalina You could have just set fire to the robot, you know.

2:52 PM
@kalina So, you admit that it was star bait?
 
@FEichinger Fill @OrigamiRobot with thermite, light the blue magnesium ribbon and retire to a safe distance.
 
@OrigamiRobot Flagged, obscene.
 
@OrigamiRobot I don't want to see that part of you
 
@FEichinger so what? I infrequently star bait
I'm certainly one of the least guilty people in here of doing so
what you haven't worked out yet is my plan for star list domination
in that now there is only @Fluttershy standing between me and a full list of unpinned stars

Q: How does saving in A Dark Room work?

jeffreylin_I've been playing A Dark Room, and have noticed that the game auto-saves. While this is great, it means I can't play my save on another device, presumably because it saves to my cookies or IP. I've gotten as far as The Dusty Path, but cannot seem to navigate it on my tablet. If I go to my laptop ...

Q: How do I know what laning strategy to take?

GusI often see pros say things like "I'm playing against X here so I'm going to be aggressive" or "I'm playing Y so I just need to sit back/hold my ground/be under tower and farm". How do I know what strategy to take before I get to lane? Specifically, I am talking about bot lane, but I assume this ...

 
There is no way to only ignore people on the star list, right?

3:14 PM
Why is there an unpulchritudinousity tag on this room?
 
@DavidStarkey Ask @Wipqozn
 
user43095
@fredley Is fredley's box done yet?
 
@DavidStarkey If you want the very boring actual reason, start your search somewhere around here
 
Two of my coworkers just had their desks raised up to standing height. I'd hate to have to stand trying to use my PC 8 hours a day.
 
Okay, so I got a 3DS, and added my info to the spreadsheet. I think I got everyone, but let me know if I missed you.
Can someone pin that for a day or so?
 
3:19 PM
@jeffreylin_ Nope, working on it now though
 
Just so I can make sure I catch everyone
 
@DavidStarkey But really, who doesn't have a tag on their chat room nowadays? It's just the done thing.
 
I wonder if I should add myself to that spreadsheet at some point.
 
@SaintWacko I added you, but I'm not sure if I got added back; I'll check when I get home.
 
@Powerlord You should
@fbueckert You did
 
3:20 PM
@SaintWacko do you have animal crossing
 
@BenBrocka Not yet, but I will
I don't have any games yet
I'm going to go look at used games tonight
 
@SaintWacko Do you have Virtue's Last Reward? Of course, I think I mentioned 999 is good to play before VLR.
 
23 secs ago, by SaintWacko
I don't have any games yet
Just got the 3DS last night
Do 3DS games store any info that can't be completely wiped?
 
@SaintWacko INDUSTRY KILLER
 
@BenBrocka :P
 
3:22 PM
@SaintWacko Make sure you get Monster Hunter!
 
I'm also going to go look at Walmart, because apparently they have some Monster Hunter for $28
 
If used, awesome, if not, get it new.
 
@fbueckert I was playing the demo last night
Definitely getting it
 
@SaintWacko Sadly, the demo only focuses on the hunting aspect.
There's lots you do to prepare before you actually go out hunting.
 
@fbueckert Yeah, but I've also played the PSX version, so I've done some of that
I suspect there's more now, though
 
3:23 PM
@SaintWacko Oh, right. Forgot about that.
Feel free to ask questions.

 Monster Hunter

All Monster Hunter talk, all the time. Or, just about anythin...
And you have access to there.
 
@fbueckert Alright, will do :)
I'll mostly be playing it on a 12 hour car ride
 
@SaintWacko You'll have tons of time to progress, then. :)
 
@fbueckert Heh, yeah
 
@SaintWacko Well... you might want to copy the contents of the SD card to your new card if you're putting in a larger one.
 
@Powerlord Eh?
 
3:25 PM
I think saved games are usually on the internal memory, but there are a few system apps that aren't.
 
Oh, I forgot about the sd card
It saves games on that instead of the cart?
 
@SaintWacko Oh, I thought you were asking 'cause you wanted to swap the SD card for a bigger one
 
@Powerlord No, I'm talking about buying used games. I want to make sure I can wipe out all vestiges of the last user
 
@SaintWacko Actually... I'm not sure.
I'm used to systems that don't use carts. :P
 
@Powerlord It would make sense
@Powerlord Yeah, same here
The AR cards are kinda cool
 
3:27 PM
@SaintWacko possibly unlocks and stuff that are cross save-file. But it's all up to the game
 
Speaking of which, I saw something amazing in the non-DS versions of Phoenix Wright... multiple save slots!
 
It'd dumb 3DS games don't save to the SD card so you can have multiple saves and crap
@SaintWacko No. Only update data is generally stored on the SD card if you're using a cart. If it's a digital game then yes saves are on the SD card of course
 
As I recall, the DS games in the Wright series only have one save slot. Heck, even some of my 3DS eShop games only have one.
 
@BenBrocka Hm, interesting. Missed opportunity
 
Speaking of which, if I knew when CapCom was releasing the next Phoenix Wright game, I'd know when I needed to start replaying the current ones.
I think it's sometime this fall.
 
3:31 PM
@SaintWacko It's Nintendo. 'nuff said
 
btw, it's pretty obvious from watching the opening minutes of the first case in the next Phoenix Wright games that Apollo Justice did it! He's guilty!!!
And by Apollo Justice, I mean the police officer guy shown in the trailers, since the first game of a Phoenix Wright game generally has one witness: The real culprit.
 
@Powerlord Objection! Calls for speculation!
 
So the dude in charge of the Xbox is leaving. For Zynga.
 
@fbueckert Yup.
 
Almost makes you think the crazy incoherent marketing plan was actually completely planned.
 
3:34 PM
From one sinking ship to another! \o/
Speaking of which
> Steve Ballmer announces that, from now on, he will be directly in charge of the Xbox One division as quoted: "Don's directs will report to me and will continue to drive the day-to-day business as a team, particularly focused on shipping Xbox One this holiday."
 
The perfect thing to do with a sinking ship is to poke more holes in it
 
@Powerlord Disagree, fill hold with rice.
 
@fbueckert Well, he certainly found a more appropriate home now.
 
@FEichinger Indeed.
I must admit I am looking forward to Zynga crashing and burning.
 
3:44 PM
@fredley is all broken :(
how am I supposed to break it when it comes out of the box broken?
 
@Sconibulus I am literally writing it now, why would you expect it to work?
 
mostly because I wanted it to
 
@Sconibulus Too bad. I am nearing some kind of stable, saveable state though, so there's that I guess
 
I also didn't know you were working on it right now
 
@fredley Bacon.
 
3:50 PM
With all these summer sales going on, Steam's gonna have kick it into gear.

Q: How do you upgrade the building?

NoneOfYourBusinessI cannot buy another upgrade for my sword because it says the building is too low level. So how do I further upgrade my building? All rooms have been built.

 
FAE
@fbueckert Everyone knows Steam won't be hurting.
Hell, don't half the other website sales give Steam keys?
 
@FAE Yeah, and that's the point; if Steam wants their sales, they're gonna have to start their own sale soon.
Otherwise, people will have already gotten awesome deals on games before their sale ever starts.
 
FAE
@fbueckert I mean that a lot of people are probably still waiting to buy from Steam itself, even though they get Steam keys.
Because they know the summer sale is there... somewhere... waiting...
 
@FAE That's what I'm basically waiting for, myself.
But that Borderland 2 sale on GreenManGaming was very tempting.
The longer Steam waits, the more risk that anything they offer for sale people will have already bought.
 
3:58 PM
Damn this dragon class is so nice.
 
@ChrisHateZ How do you unlock it?
 
Just flying around like a baws, killing everything with my fireballs.

Crack the game

Proposed Q&A site for game addicts who want to crack their game by using some cheat codes or some power packed moves or some sort of easy win steps. This site will also provide questions and answers for all games you can win without giving too much time on practicing.

Closed before being launched.

 
I have points in all upgrades, and haven't seen it
 
@SaintWacko It's hidden on top of the castle. The upgrade is called "Bestiallity"
 
3:58 PM
Was this really proposed?
@ChrisHateZ The description is, "Press S to awesome"
Which is amusing.
 
Hehe yeah.
Well you've got to admit it is somewhat awesome to just press S and fly around without limit.
 
@fbueckert NOPE
 
@ChrisHateZ It trivializes the spike puzzles.
 
@fbueckert Apparently?
 
And if you're going for a progression run, you can focus on vampirism, as they regenerate magic so damn fast.
 
4:02 PM
@fbueckert Yep, makes a lot of things much easier.
Playing with dragon class almost feels like cheating.
 
It's for that class alone that I've been upping my magic damage.
It's the only ranged class.
They work incredibly well for gold runs, too. Just throw on lots of Bounty runes and the Sage equipment, and go to town.
 
@fbueckert Sadly i still don't have any luck getting almost any equipment blueprints =/

@fbueckert Hm. Don't they just affect the strenght of enemies?
 
@fbueckert You mean the sale that was only 6 hours long that expired long before it was mentioned in here?
Granted, GMG is repeating some of them in later sales.
 
@ChrisHateZ The enemies will drop more cash, and by increasing the overall "level" of the area, you should get better rewards from the chests, too.

@Powerlord Yeah. I would've happily bought it for $15.
 
Alan Wake was on sale when I checked last night and it is again now.
@fbueckert You know Amazon has BL1 GOTY + BL2 + BL2 Season Pass for $22, right? Through tomorrow.
 
4:08 PM
@Powerlord BL1:GOTY at that.
ninja edit!
 
@Powerlord I already own BL1 and the expansions.
 
@OrigamiRobot I technically edited it before I saw your response, but only barely.
@fbueckert Well, the point was that it's been on sale for 6 days or so now.
 
@Powerlord same same
 
Not vanishing after 6 hours like certain sites. >:|
Also, Amazons includes Steam keys... not surprising since BL1 and BL2 are both SteamWorks games.
 
@Powerlord And at that price, I decided I'd wait for the Steam sale.
$15, though, is easily within impulse purchase price.
 
4:10 PM
@fbueckert Right, just be aware that the Steam sale didn't start until the 12th last year.
Also, GMG's site could really use a countdown clock like Steam's has when they're doing time limited sales.
 
@OrigamiRobot I have no idea.I don't even know what it means.
 
@Wipqozn I just picked a random person to ping.
 
@ShotgunNinja Green Man Gaming
 
@OrigamiRobot Ah, I thought you were just bitter I'm a room owner and you're not.
 
4:12 PM
6 Hour Sales work better when you know when said 6 hours ends.
 
@Powerlord Yea, I had no idea it was a timed sale.
 
That Batman sale on there right now is identical to the one Steam had... last year?... except Steam's had Gotham City Impostors complete pack in there too.
Of course, Gotham City Impostors has since went F2P
 
boredom
booooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeedddddddddddooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmm‌​mmm
 
@Powerlord Huh, wow, that's annoying
Also 6 hours is a pretty shitty time window
 
@kalina Watch Black Mirror
 
4:15 PM
@BenBrocka Which is why Steam does... 12 hour sales, I think.
 
@Powerlord 8 it was last time, I think.
 
@FEichinger Oh, I thought it was two items for 12 hours sales, with new ones appearing every 4 hours.
(so, 6 12-hour sale items on sale at a time)
 
@kalina /dance
 
@Powerlord Flash sales usually last ~8 hours or so, while they also have daily deals lasting 24 hours.
 
@kalina /sandwich
@kalina /sleep

I TOLD YOU ROBOT IF I EAT SANDWICHES EVERY TIME I AM BORED I WILL BE FAT

Anyway, I wonder how much Borderlands 2 GOTY will be. Apparently it was spotted in the Steam database a while ago.
 
If I sang every time I was bored the world would hate me
 
/sneeze
 
@Powerlord yeah, 12/24 hour sales give people time to check up on each iteration without being too long (so you have to keep coming back). With 6 hour sales you're absolutely going to miss sales unless you time your sleep expertly or stay up 24 hours
 
4:21 PM
Anyway, the day I got Borderlands 2 from Amazon my CPU fan died.
Luckily, it sounds like it's just one of the 120mm fans on it that died and not the actual cooler.
(maybe... I'll find out after work)
I mean, turning on the PC, I can see that only the inside fan is spinning, the outside one isn't.
(It's a Corsair H70 cooler if anyone cares)
 
nobody does
ah damn, did I say that out loud
 
@kalina Yes, so expect it to be thrown back into your face later.
 
@Powerlord as long as you follow it up with a "IN YO FACE"

Q: Can I enable autosave on non-realistic save setting?

k0pernikusI recently have started a new realistic game of Warband as on my non-realistic one there was no autosave once I visited a town or made camp. Which let me lose progress a lot of times as I forgot to save quite frequently. On realistic, it saves all the time yet it is kind of a bit too much rogue-...

 
@Powerlord With that thing unless your PC is crazy OC'd it should run fine enough with one fan until you get the replacement, just peek at temps if you're suspicious
and it should be pretty easy to tell if the pump's still working, makes a different noise
 
4:27 PM
HOMETIME WOOOOOO YAYY
 
@BenBrocka The temps were running upwards of 80 C.
 
etc
 
Also, I don't ever recall hearing the pump before.
Either that or the fans themselves have always drowned it out.
and I may be overclocking my 3.4Ghz processor to 4Ghz... :P
 
@StrixVaria - Fixed bug where the player could kill a boss and die at the same time. That one's for you!
 
@Powerlord That's...odd, pump might not work, or your case is pretty hot otherwise
@Powerlord they will, you'll probably have to turn the other fans off and/or get very close to hear the pump
 
4:34 PM
Shinobi can't get time stop anymore
Apparently when the game patches, it wipes out your hero names .txt files
 
@BenBrocka Well, you've got to realize that the pump and radiator are the same unit and literally have fans bolted onto both sides of it.
Now, I did remove one of the fans last night (the dead one), but it turns out that its power cable takes a crazy trip around the back of the case.
(the front fan plugs into the fan connector like 5 inches from it)
 
grumble Cube world demo/alpha released today but the site is so slammed I can not tell which! :D
 
When I say crazy, I tried tracing it around... as far as I can tell, it goes around the entire back of the board, back around to the front under the Asus thermal armor stuff to come back up next to the CPU and plug in to the other fan connector there. Which is about 5 inches from the first fan connector.
 
@Powerlord Pump should start over the CPU and the radiator should be fairly distant from it, right?
 
@BenBrocka Oh wait, you're right.
slaps Corsair for calling it an integrated unit
Now, after all that, I haven't discounted that it could be the unit itself.
 
4:45 PM
@Sterno That's a bug?
Sounds like a feature
 
@Sconibulus Makes you unable to collect the upgrades they drop though
which is a one time thing
 
I do know that the outer fan isn't spinning, which is an issue. Particularly since that cord disappears when it goes from the back to the front of the case. And as soon as that fan stopped working, the diagnostics report the CPU fan as not spinning.
brb, I need to grab lunch before we start doing testing in 10 minutes
 
@Sterno Ahh, ok, that makes sense
 
@BenBrocka Single rad system?
 
I just got an email from Ubisoft saying they've had some account info stolen.
 
4:54 PM
@OrigamiRobot 90% chance spam
 
@OrigamiRobot I got 2. One for my account one for an account that is not mine.
 
@James 99% chance spam
 
@fredley The chance is there, but the URLs are all valid.
 
@James Verified sender?
