@WorldEngineer It's like a sleeper nerve!

@WorldEngineer murder

in other words, Canonical is kickstarting their mobile phone for $32,000,000

they're 7.32% there

@badp I am somewhat surprised they've gained that much cash.

32 mil is a lot to ask for from the working class.

@fbueckert it's pledged, not gained

$600

bargain!

@badp $600 for a Linux phone is a bargain?

12:34 AM

@fbueckert the normal price is $830

@badp A phone that costs me more than my console is not a phone I want.

user20683

@fbueckert almost all unlocked phones cost more than consoles

I know, Canonical isn't doing a good job of marketing

@WorldEngineer Mine got close; ~$400. About the same as a PS4.

Trent Hawkins

$830?! does it grow arms and cook me food?

user20683

12:36 AM

for $830 I can get a quad core Mac

@WorldEngineer And an even better non-mac!

@WorldEngineer I can almost buy me a brand new computer for that price.

Not including the video card, I could probably get something pretty decent.

@fbueckert Even with the video card.

user20683

@fbueckert That is a brand new Mac

12:38 AM

@OrigamiRobot (My video cards cost lots).

MMMM ROOT BEER FLOAT WITH FREE ROOT BEER IAN TOOK FROM WORK!!!

There you go!

yay Microsoft!

@fbueckert More than $300?

@OrigamiRobot Yes.

12:38 AM

What a waste of money.

Krazer

@WorldEngineer that sounds extremely cheap for a Mac

Remember, Canadian money is worth slightly less than American.

Wait a month and they'll be half that.

Roughly $350-375.

Hell, I wouldn't spend more than $150 on a video card.

12:40 AM

Again - you're not buying it, you're funding it

@OrigamiRobot buy me one

@spugsley Why?

why not?

@OrigamiRobot Mine died, and I wanted a new one.

@fbueckert I stand by what I said.

12:41 AM

Ironically, it's the last purchase I'll ever make from a local computer store; they went out of business last year.

user20683

@Krazer Mac Mini

@fbueckert Oh, that's why it's so expensive.

@OrigamiRobot Most likely, yes.

If my video card dies, I'm not gonna wait a week or two for a new one.

Krazer

@WorldEngineer ah makes sense

user20683

@Krazer The higher end has a quad core

Krazer

12:42 AM

I forgot about that

@fbueckert IDK what your options are, but Newegg takes 3 days.

I think it's time for some hot chocolate milk. With...cinnamon, if I can find it.

@OrigamiRobot Dude. It's my computer.

This thing can't be down for more than a day.

I'll wait 3 days to not spend %50 more buying local.

I can just go bum off @spugsley's machine.

@OrigamiRobot I got a pretty wicked deal on my RAM; $80 or so for a 4GB stick.

:o

12:44 AM

Keep in mind, this was three years ago.

@fbueckert When was this and what kind?

Yea 3 years ago that was probably a deal

@OrigamiRobot I remember it was Coursair brand. I don't remember exactly what the other specs were.

@fbueckert Yea, 3 year ago I paid 105 for 2x2 DDR3 1600

Fluttershy

My machine will be finished by this weekend, most likely!

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, so I got a pretty good deal on my RAM. It was so cheap, I elected to fill the board!

Q: who wins Sora or Link

In a fight against Sora (from kingdom hearts) or Link (lengend of zelda) who wins? I belive that Sora would win but I want to hear evryones opionion and why you belive it. Thank you!!!!

kingdom-hearts legend-of-zelda

@Lazers facedesk

@agent86 to the rescue!

1:00 AM

@Lazers As much as I love Sora, he wields a key. Also, he is not the Hero of Time. Link wins, hands down

@Ktash I dunno. A key that can unlock any door could probably keep up with time travel.

BUT IS IT THE KEY TO THE HEART OF ZELDA?

(not that Link ever gets some)

@badp Heartless Zelda!

@Ktash this

@badp Makes you wonder why the hell he keeps saving her.

1:02 AM

OMG ZELDA IS A PRINCESS. SHE MUST BE A PRINCESS OF HEART. KH3 CONFIRMED

@fbueckert Royalty and damsel in distress and powers and stuff

@Ktash You're late.

It was confirmed over a month ago.

@Ktash Did you mean... HL3

@badp who cares about a game that will never come out? At least KH3 will come out in a couple hundred years

@Ktash What? HL3 is confirmed man. It's coming

right after Ricochet 2

and Team Fortress 3

and Left 4 Dead 3D

1:06 AM

@badp Truth. HL3 will be released when the headcrabs have taken over and demand it be released as educational material

and DOTA 5

and Counter Strike 1.7

and the Steam Box

user20683

@badp And Starcraft 3.14159

@WorldEngineer Since when does Starcraft use the TeX versioning system?

user20683

@badp since now

user20683

:P

1:08 AM

oh.

oh - and the next MegaMan, too, needs to happen

but after that

it'll be a couple more millennia, valve time

and then the HL3 ARG will start

where people must collect crowbars from 800 different games

to pry open the game

and they have 50 seconds to collect 9 million wrenches

or the game gets delayed by six months for every subsquent Gaben joke

@badp We're doomed.

@TrentHawkins Yes.

@Ullallulloo I couldn't help but laugh at that, nicely done.

I had rooted my Samsung Galaxy S 4G, and for some reason it seems to be only partially rooted now.

Q: Half-Life 2 (plus episodes) have a tendency of crashing my computer

WTF is going on with the tags on this question?

graphics-card half-life-series

Am I misunderstanding how half-life-series should be used, or are they?

Because I rejected the edit which still got approved, and then on top of that half-life-2 was removed.

@Ullallulloo Brilliant.

Ben Brocka

some pretty cool particle effects in Infamous Second Son

user43095

@Sterno gaming.stackexchange.com/review/suggested-edits/43339

@jeffreylin_ So, my understanding was that we typically include DLC for a game under the main game tag, unless it's hefty DLC worthy of its own tag.

But what seemed to happen here is that the specific game tag, HL2, was removed, and now the question is about the entire series. Which clearly it's not.

If you read that tag, it even includes the Portal games

I think it's mainly meant for lore questions.

user43095

@Sterno oops, that was my fault. Rollback

I don't think we've ever been super clear on when exactly whatever-series is supposed to apply.

@jeffreylin_ I mean, I agree with it now, but I wasn't specifically trying to change your mind. I was trying to understand if my reasoning is right.

I guess this talks about it:

Requirements One tag per game. Two tags for a game is not how SE rolls. The game name should be understandable/googleable when SE chooses to put it at the start of the question page title. We shouldn't shorten where we can help it. Tag radixes should be consistent (e.g. all tags for the same ga...

Sigh.

The HDMI out on my video card stopped working.

user20683

@Brant Not cool

Considering that the primary purpose of the PC is a Steam box, this is very vexing.

The damned thing was working fine yesterday, but now when I boot up, Windows doesn't even know there is/was ever a second display there.

1:52 AM

Wow, apple developer site got hacked. Lovely

user20683

@Ktash I saw

user20683

I had a free account at one point

user20683

but I'm sure my passwords have changed since then

From what I know of the exploit the hacker only got names/email addresses, but I could be wrong.

user20683

@Brant yeah

Ullallulloo

1:53 AM

@Sterno When it's something that's about the series as a whole, not a specific game. Usually lore questions or play order.

The schmuck who did it posted a youtube video showing off the data he grabbed, unobfuscated -- real names scrolling past and everything

and posted something like "I'm not a hacker, I'm a security researcher, I reported this to apple so it's okay"

There was a post on /r/netsec this morning but I guess it got deleted.

user20683

@Brant ummm, bye bye fundings

Fundings?

He was clearly a "security researcher" in the same sense that 14-year-olds posting youtube tutorials on installing minecraft mods are "programmers"

user20683

@Brant ah, in that case, bye bye freedoms

Those loot midgets are real dicks.

Yeah, you could almost hear Apple's lawyers in the background.

@MBraedley Sounds lovely. I've never actually been to Cape Breton.

@LessPop_MoreFizz This is teh BEST PLAN

Seriously I want to have adventures can I just graduate so I can have money for adventures now please

@AshleyNunn It is not such a great plan because Buffalo is kind of a shithole.

@LessPop_MoreFizz They are the only enemy I refuse to melee. I try to melee as many enemies as I can to conserve ammo, but those things are total jerks in melee.

2:53 AM

@Wipqozn Worms are also no worth meleeing, IMO

The whole point of the shotgun, tbqh is to give you a ranged weapon for which you do not need to conserve ammo.

@Wipqozn Thoughts on the reveal?

(Since the Pistol and AR share ammo.)
