@RedRiderX Once piece? I love that anime.
 
@badp They should name the baby Reus in an attempt to influence Steam market prices.
3
 
at any rate there seems to be pages upon pages of Skyrim cards for €.27, so that's probably where it'll stop
 
@FEichinger literally
 
Skyrim cards for €.27 go from page 2 to page 49 (!)
 
@ShotgunNinja Curses, the spelling jokes have backfired!
 
6:03 PM
@badp Told'ya ... ~.30
 
@RedRiderX ABORD ABORD ABORD
 
Unless you are speaking of the elusive Once Piece, of which only rumour and speculation exists.
 
@FEichinger eh, it's... about 500 cards. It really depends on the rhythm at which they keep flowing out
and the speed at which people pump in new cards in page 1
 
I'm fascinated by the amount of people putting up their cards for less than .10 still.
 
@FEichinger They probably imagine the look on the face of people that try and fail to buy them because it's typically almost impossible to actually buy anything on page 1
even on page 2 you'll find people clicking faster than you are
 
6:07 PM
I'm up to 9 1-cent sales of worthless TF2 items. Hooray for taking the time to make money I probably couldn't be bothered to pick up if it were laying on the floor in front of me!
 
@badp And then they stalk the person who actually got it? :P
 
@FEichinger I don't think that's public information!
The user on the page is the seller, not the buyer

Q: half life 2 :My character(Gordon Freeman)runs slowly

colinrecently I've installed half life 2 EP1 on Steam and I got a very strange problem. My character Dr.Gordon Freeman runs really slowly, I can sprint, but still very slow. But all the enemies and NPC can move fine, it's insane isn't it ? The game runs perfectly on my machine, I got good graphic/soun...

Q: Does last hitting provide more experience?

jmfsgI know last hitting gives you the gold for the kill, but what about experience? Is there any difference between last hitting a creep or standing next to it, in regards of experience? What about Heroes and structures?

 
@badp Don't you get the name in the notification mail?
To be honest, I never actually read them, but I thought that was the case.
 
@FEichinger You do.
You can also see it in your history
 
6:10 PM
@FEichinger You do but that's not, again, public to third parties
 
@badp Yeh, but the seller could stalk the person who was insane enough to manage to get it.
 
Lookit all the people wot bought my trading cards.
 
@FEichinger and?
 
@badp That ... was the whole point of what I said?
 
6:11 PM
chances are, it's a bot :P
 
Likely.
 
I love the speed at which people undersell each other
 
@Lazers Let me guess... Linux?
 
reload €.17 €.18 €.20 €.21 €.21 €.22 reload sold! €.25 €.25 €.25 €.26 reload €.19 €.20 €.20 €.20 €.20
 
@badp That's the real problem. It fluctuates in a range of .10 right now.
 
6:14 PM
wait wat
 
@badp Not sure what you mean by that
 
@Powerlord spot the odd one out
 
Yes, there are uncommon and rare emoticons and profile backgrounds.
 
yeah, but not on the page of the skyrim trading card
 
@Powerlord I assume he's not on a search page, though.
 
6:17 PM
@FEichinger Since he never said that, I couldn't just assume it.
 
@Powerlord Previous conversation implies that. Also: Screenshots of graphs above.
 
@StrixVaria Instead, you care about homosexuals, terrorists and guns so much that almost everything political originating from your country is one of those three topics.
 
@FEichinger Don't forget drugs
 
@FEichinger Gays are cool, terrorists don't affect me, and I might own a gun myself someday.
Also, drugs are fun bad, m'kay?
 
6:24 PM
@OrigamiRobot Oh, right, drugs. But that kinda goes back to guns again, because "Mexico = Drugs = Guns" anyway.
 
@FEichinger Thanks for generalizing. That's cool.
 
@StrixVaria It's no fun when someone else does it, is it now?
 
@StrixVaria I care about those three things.
 
@FEichinger What the fuck are you talking about?
4
 
Boobs? I think.

FAE
@TimStone This word means "giant" in Dutch, so depending on how big it is...
(the devs of the game are Dutch, which pretty much guarantees that no one can pronounce the damn title)
 
Speaking of Dutch, the Weather in Episode 6 of Night Vale was in Dutch.
It made my ears hurt.
 
FAE
@StrixVaria Oooh really?
 
@FAE It was a rap, too.
 
@FAE Yeah, Dutch rap
 
6:42 PM
It was pretty good, honestly.
 
FAE
@StrixVaria Oh. Oh god no. I'm... I'm so sorry.
I'm so so sorry.
 
Just the fact that it was in Dutch was weird because it almost sounded like words.
 
user20683
@FAE "R-oww-s?"
 
They threw in an English word now and then too to throw you off.
 
user20683
like "Grouse" but without the G
 
FAE
6:42 PM
@WorldEngineer Nay, that's the wrong sound.
 
@FAE "eu" in German is like the "oi" in "oil".
Is it that sound?
 
FAE
@StrixVaria No
 
user20683
oh, "Royce"
 
FAE
"eu" is a diphthong that there's no decent English equivalent to
 
6:43 PM
Dutch raps
 
FAE
@LessPop_MoreFizz No no no no no, I hate Dutch rap.
 
user20683
@FAE It actually sounds about like I thought from the sample I've got of it, I'm just really bad at transliteration.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Not what I expected them to look like.
Catchy, though.
 
@FAE It's the weather from night vale episode 6
 
FAE
@LessPop_MoreFizz I will check later when I'm not on voicechat with guildmates
 
user20683
6:46 PM
@FAE See Dutch is annoying for me to listen to because it sounds like incomprehensible English.
 
FAE
@WorldEngineer hahaha
 
user20683
@FAE Periodically punctuated with poorly pronounced German
 
FAE
@WorldEngineer German's a much nicer language
also why the hell would the weather be rapped in Dutch
 
@WorldEngineer Primarily Prussian, perchance?
@FAE Because windmills.
 
user20683
@ShotgunNinja Norwegian via Yorkshire/Welsh
 
FAE
6:49 PM
@ShotgunNinja ...>_>
 
@FAE "The Weather" in Night Vale is just a random musical interlude.
 
user20683
maybe a little French
 
user20683
hard to say
 
FAE
@LessPop_MoreFizz Huh. Funky.
 
Cecil says "And Now, The Weather:" and then there is a song.
 
6:50 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz There is no weather.
Only zuul.
 
@FAE :D
 
user20683
 
user20683
Welsh rapping about Badminton
 
@FAE I wondered if that was supposed to be a word or what
The card is a beach ball and the name sounds like random letters so I was just like "okay then"
 
FAE
@BenBrocka The name is what caught my eye when I saw Rock Paper Shotgun talking about it in my feed reader. I was wondering if it was actually meant to be Dutch, so I checked out the game and the dev's website and such. They're graduates from the University of Utrecht.
 
user20683
6:55 PM
or a chunk of that
 
@FAE Why do you not know this? Why have you not listened to Night Vale?
 
@WorldEngineer Catchy.
 
user20683
@BenBrocka The card is the Giants playing Beach Volleyball
 
Well, the steam sale is over. Time to start counting down until the Autumn sale!
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot I haven't gotten around to downloading them yet.
 
6:59 PM
@Wipqozn Time to watch card prices rise.
 
@OrigamiRobot They already appear to be hitting a plateau.
 
yay... two... 10% off Toki Tori 2+ coupons
 
@RedRiderX The initial insurge of people trying to cash in
 
@RedRiderX I dunno, an hour ago or so people were dumping cards for unreasonably cheap and that's now done
I'm looking at Skyrim cards and the €.18-€.24 cards are completely gone now, one hour after I stopped watching
that said chances are the bulk of 500 cards at €.27 is still there
 
@badp What is that in real money?
 
7:04 PM
and there's now 100 or so cards for €.26
@OrigamiRobot €.27
 
@badp I got those too, a while ago
 
@badp The €.27 cards go on past 500.
Almost to 600.
 
@RedRiderX yes, there's 100 cards for €.26 before those
at the last count the €.27 cards were 500
pf course some of those are €.27, some of those are varying amounts of USD and some of those are more varying amounts of rublos or whatever
 
@badp Yeah, I guess I just underestimate the spending habits of the above average Steam spender.
 
7:20 PM
@badp how many rupees is it for a card anyway?
 
@BenBrocka About 22.
@BenBrocka Green rupees however, well the market for them has tanked.
 
user15026
@fae the mii plaza gardening game is awesome - I thought it was crappy earlier but that is because completing the tutorial takes more miis than I thought. It is actually pretty cool once you get to buying and breeding seeds and plants

Q: Feature questions required to give out bounty?

Young GuiloShould feature questions be required to give out bounty for those who try their hardest in answering a question? I think that the person with the highest ranking score after the seven days should AUTOMATICALLY get the bounty unless the asker gives it manually beforehand. The asker doesn't have to...

 
FAE
@AshleyNunn Neat!
 
user15026
@fae now that I have all the bits and know how it works it is one of my favorites of the new games.
 
7:28 PM
@RedRiderX I hear some grass-cutting jackass flooded the market for them
 
@BenBrocka Worst part is, he roams around wearing green, as if to say, "Look at all the green Rupees!"
 
@BenBrocka Yeah I hear that they're a straight up vandal, defacing signs and throwing rocks...
 
I mean, don't get me wrong, I love small denominations of currency, but you'd think the guy could use a Coinstar or something... Every time I see him at market, he's always counting out green Rupees to the clerk, and it takes forever.
 
Needs more explosions.
@ShotgunNinja considering rupees are about a foot long it seems amazing he can even carry that many
 
@BenBrocka But I've heard that the guards are going to take care of them.
So it should be under control in no time.
 
7:42 PM
This just in, the princess gave birth to a boy and I still have no idea why this is national news!
 
Unless she names him Isaac and sticks him in a basement I dont' care
 
@Fluttershy American national news?
 
lol, the guardian apparently has a switch to turn off all coverage of this event
 
@badp lolol

This image is too much for stack imgur so here's a direct link
 
user20683
The Switch is Called "Republican".
 
user20683
Which works for both the UK and the US.
 
argh
 
@WorldEngineer I get "Not a Royalist?", it was Republican this morning
 
7:56 PM
I hate games that don't let you move the game window in windowed mode
 
@badp For real
 
"Republican?" for me.
 
user20683
@BenBrocka Republicans in the UK favor a Republic. Republicans in the US don't care about other countries.
 
user20683
;p
 
Ugh royal babby stuff still shows up in the sidebar
 
user20683
8:06 PM
@BenBrocka Royal Baby is a dick.
 
@WorldEngineer I'm just waiting for Royal Baby-brand diapers or formula.
 
user20683
@ShotgunNinja /imagines diapers that look like a giant crown royal bag wrapped around some kid's behind.
 
@WorldEngineer oh shi-
 
@RonanForman ... Yes. I know why it's news in the UK. I don't know why it's overshadowing the Dubai rape case, or the Ohio serial killer here in the US.
 
@WorldEngineer the police are already triangulating your position, terrorist
 
8:14 PM
@SepiaLazers Rapidly climbing the 'worst users' list.
 
@ShotgunNinja you know some company got the partnership and they're going to use the hell out of it
 
user20683
@badp The police already know my position
 
@Fluttershy or the whole censoring the internet thing in the UK
 
user20683
:P
 
@WorldEngineer any last words?
 
8:15 PM
@Fluttershy How have I only just heard about that Dubai thing. That's insane.
Both that I hadn't heard about it and the case itself.
 
user20683
On the plus side she's going home
 
I hope at least that she got the longer sentence because of the additional alcohol charge
that's got to be it right? right?
 
@WorldEngineer The thing I'm shocked with is that the man got the longer sentence.
@badp So she was the only one drinking?
 
@RonanForman no idea honestly
 
@badp Seems pretty unlikely was my point.
 
8:19 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Now I can't help but wonder who claims your top spot. <_<
Because if it isn't him, that's an impressive list.
 
@Fluttershy There are plenty.
 
@Fluttershy Oh come on, I'm sure you can name several other members of the list.
 
Estimated time to migrate database over: 30 minutes. Actual time it took: 7 hours.
 
Heatwave officially over. It's now a thunderstorm.
 
@RonanForman Yay..?
 
8:32 PM
so... I doubt anybody wants a FREE coupon? :P
I wish there was some kind of coupon dumping trading place
 
groupon.com
 
@ShotgunNinja Well you got the dumping part right
 
@ShotgunNinja I only have 2 to dump :P
 
@RonanForman Still raining every day here

Q: OpenTTD: Can someone explain me train signals quick and easy?

Alex DumitruI've read the Wiki page for a few times, but I don't really get it very well. I usually use the 4th and 6th, but I'm not really sure what each of them does. And what are those things above the semaphores ? I have to note that I'm using signals a lot, but sometimes trains just get stuck and I f...

 
9:09 PM
Greetings all. I am here on a most holy quest - to complete my Steam Summer Sale badge.
Who is brave enough to aid me in my quest?
 
Hey, I just got some Toki Tor 2+ coupons too.
 
@Aubergine If you have a Bioshock card, I have stuff to trade.
 
@StrixVaria clearly since it was made in flash it should be free amirite
 
@fbueckert I only have spare Skyrims. Two of them, annoyingly.
 
@BenBrocka Flash pretty much writes the games for you.
 
user20683
9:14 PM
I just need Dead Island
 
user20683
but I've little to trade beyond a FTL human emote and a couple of Offspring Fling cards
 
I got no coupons. Why does Steam hate me so.
 
I have like 3 FTL Rock cruisers.
The rate at which I get duplicate cards is astonishing.
 
user20683
@LessPop_MoreFizz would you like one?
 
@WorldEngineer No. I have no desire to buy Toki Tori at a discount.
(or at all for that matter.)
 
9:16 PM
@WorldEngineer Offspring Fling?
 
user20683
@ShotgunNinja yep
 
This sounds like a fun concept.
 
user20683
@ShotgunNinja it's...odd
 
I would love to fling some offspring, especially other peoples' offspring.
 
user20683
@ShotgunNinja They are your own
 
9:17 PM
Why had youtube's ability to load videos suddenly gone down the shitter. :(
I AM AT HOME THE ONE PLACE MY INTERNET IS SUPPOSED TO NOT SUCK
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Edge servers being taken down for maintenance?
 
I was gonna go with strange voodoo hex
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I get that on my work PC but only in Chrome. It works fine at home in Chrome. I have no idea why
 
I doubt it's the browser it was fine ten minutes ago
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Youtube sucks.
 
9:24 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I blame @Mana's judgmental stare, he's eyeing you in the active user's list right now.
But also what @StrixVaria said.
 
@TimStone @mana is always judging me.
He's just judgy like that.
Now he's judging @BenBrocka
 
Is there irc or jabber mirror? Just keep chat without browser?
 
@woodstack no.
 
@woodstack For SE chat? Not really, the systems are somewhat incompatible.
 
it is so easy to implement one mirror by simple bot to e.g. freenode, where i can contribute my idea? (:
 
9:31 PM
there was a jabber mirror but I'm afraid Josh stopped maintaining it because it is not so easy after all
 
Only browser?
 
Only browser.

Q: Confused coordinates - How to start ship expedition?

BobSo I bought Confused Coordinates ship action/expedition. I have it loaded onto a warship with some weapons (the thing it says is needed for the action). How do I start the expedition? I have tried sailing to the edge of the map, left clicking the item in my storage bay...I dont know.

 
the obvious glaring elephant in the room is that such a mirror would be read only
 
there are many mute/voice/ops systems in only irc protocol to conquerer any spammers
 
9:35 PM
@woodstack So? That's irrelevant.
 
that doesn't explain how you'd feed the freenode chat back in here
also how banning people on IRC helps when they're spamming here
 
Simply put: There is absolutely no reason to do any of that.
 
If we wanted to use IRC we'd be using IRC I guess.
 
@badp You can't star things in IRC, what else do we do here?
 
web chat - is an ugly way
 
9:37 PM
@woodstack sorry.
@RonanForman add them to a quote bot, duh.
then abuse the hell out of it
 
@woodstack I find supplementing a website with a third party protocol a lot more "ugly".
 
badp, do you ever chat in irc via web mirror?
 
@woodstack How is that relevant at all?
 
what do you mean relevant? How web chat relevant to irc(internet relay chat) ?
 
9:41 PM
@woodstack I have absolutely no idea what you're trying to say.
 
me too
 
IRC is irrelevant here. Stack Exchange chat does not use IRC.
So, again, what on Earth are you going on about?
 
@woodstack I've used all sorts of IRC clients from irssi from quakenet's webchat. Your point?
 
If we used IRC we could have chat as stable as Twitch.tv's!
 
9:43 PM
The one IRC client I know the existence thereof and didn't try is the one in emacs
ctrl-x alt-esc meta-space (irc-ban (pick-randomly (filter (irc-users (irc-active-room)) (lambda (bro) (not (irc-is-op bro))))))
 
I just looking for irc mirror, to add couple of channels to my favourites.
 
@BenBrocka lol
 
@woodstack Which channels? And why are you asking here out of all places?
 
i just ask
 
@woodstack If you have some favourites within SE, you can star them, and then you can auto-join all your starred favourites.
 
9:48 PM
Do you guys keep 8-12 browser's tabs for relevant stackexchange's chats?
 
@woodstack no, you don't have to do that
 
@woodstack I do. Some people use the "other rooms you're in" widget on the right.
 
@woodstack You can jump between channels through the navigation on the sidebar.
 
...unless you want to be in chat.SE and chat.SO and chat.MSO
then you have to use separate chats
but chat.MSO is dead and we don't talk about chat.SO
 
FAE
@woodstack There's really no good IRC option, I looked into it when first starting out. I hate keeping tabs open in my browser too, but there's no other way.
 
9:50 PM
We don't go to chat.SO anymore...
 
@BenBrocka Apparantly chat.so is/was used as an indian sex chat or something?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz wait wat
 
argh
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Sounds about right.
 
my top rated image on chat.MSO is now broken

A: Is it okay to create solicitous chatroom on the site?

ManishearthNo, this is not appropriate. See Definitive rules on chat rooms with non-technical discussion (The policy is for chat.SO, but it extends to chat.SE as well) Under "Signs of inappropriate rooms", here are the points such a chat room violates The room's given topic (and thus its definition)...

 
UNACCEPTABLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
it was such a fine piece of Art too.
 
I can't imagine how many real specs may keep connection via irc.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz We violate some of those rules here :P
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz My word.
 
@RedRiderX Can't find the other meta posts, but there were several at one point about chat.so rooms in non-english languages essentially being an unmoderated wild west of prurient garbage.
@StrixVaria Well yes.
 
9:56 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz prurient? Never heard that word before.
 
but unlike chat.so, we don't have strict rules about being on technical subjects.
@ShotgunNinja It's a good word. I highly recommend it.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz recommend*
 
nn people
 
@ShotgunNinja Recommend is one of my perpetual spelling thorns. I am not sure why.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, mine too. I always want to use two C's.

The difference between "embarrass" and "harass" always messes me up.
 
user20683
is one of mine
 
FAE
@StrixVaria embarrass is one I always mess up
 
Harrassment and embarassment?
 
"embarrass" no longer even looks like a word and it was only used twice.
 
FAE
9:59 PM
@StrixVaria I always want to use only one R
 
Oh look it's home time.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz bad things happened. I think that was an outlier though
I don't use the SO chats though, so I couldn't say how common it is really

Q: Do I need to be influential with my human teammate to win Tourism Victory?

AlanI'm playing a game with a friend where I'm doing my best to stack tourism. I've noticed that I'm still "exotic" to him and he has a TON of culture. I also cannot generate many tourism bonuses for him because "open boarders" does not exist. Do I have to become influential with my human ally (team...

 
@LessPop_MoreFizz: Prediction: Helpful girl who wakes you up is really that evil AI villian from the first game.
 
@Wipqozn How far along are you?
 
10:20 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm in hydroponics.
 
@Wipqozn Getting there.
Hydroponics is the first level that really made me lose my shit.
MIDWIVES.
etc.
 
Midwives aren't that bad. Can wrench them to death in two hits.
 
@Wipqozn Yeah, it's more just how creepy they are.
 
Oh, yeah. They're creepy as all hell.
 
What game?

the ones with the teeth
 
@WorldEngineer The Chua
They are awesome.
Violent psychopathic technologically advanced hamsters.
 
Bleh. Long answer is long.
 
user20683
10:32 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz So Gremlins...before and after midnight
 
@OrigamiRobot System Shock 2. First time playing.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz So many tropes, but I like the presentation which is most of what matters.
 
@StrixVaria Yeah, all of the races are pretty stereotypical, but the Chua are an excellent execution.
 
I'm going to be all over that game as long as there's no monthly subscription.
 
@StrixVaria They've been incredibly coy about their planned business model.
 
FAE
10:43 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz They're apparently announcing it within a month or so I believe
I think I saw an article to that effect
Ugh it is so warm in my living room because I've been gaming all night :(
 
@FAE They've said they'll get around to it at some point, but I think they honestly still don't really fully know.
My money is on buy to play, if only because the housing system offers so much opportunity to do an effective cash shop without breaking game balance, but we'll see.
all I know is 40 person raids have me highly excited.
 
FAE
I was so into WS news when I first played it at Gamescom but I've just gotten ridiculously behind on all the announcements. :/
That said, it was one of the most polished alphas I'd ever played.
Granted, only for an hour or so, but I've played betas that were much more broken in ways that were easy to see in that amount of time.
 
@FAE yeah, there's a pretty shocking amount of attention to detail compared to most MMOs at this stage.
Also the most recently announced combat changes are fantastic.
 
FAE
@LessPop_MoreFizz What are they changing?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz and I'm "there".
 
10:51 PM
The new targeting system is probably the best mix of active targeting, telegraphs and traditional MMO combat I've ever seen.
@wipqozn The Scene?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yes. I can only assume that her and I will become best friends and save the world from destruction and then she'll never try to harm humanity again.
 
FAE
I need my living room to be cooler, argh
 
@FAE I opened all the windows
that did the trick.
 
FAE
@badp Windows are open, balcony door is open, it's just not helping. Thing is I've been gaming all night, so it's hot in here now from that. :(
 
THE POLITO FORM IS DEAD INSECT.

@LessPop_MoreFizz I hate you
