Krazer

@Ktash that might be causing some issues... I seem to remember from reading somewhere that windows does checks on extra drives during boot up process to make sure there aren't any errors and stuff

check the boot device arrangement, make sure your SSD is on top of the list, making it the 1st device to be booted.

Ktash

No luck booting to that. Booting fails to find windows and goes to the cd drive instead

I'd like to say some things about my recent comments on Darksiders II.

You see, the way I play expects the ability to quickly dodge from enemy attacks.

Playing style is an individual preference, of course, but the way Death is able to dodge attacks simply fits my playing style well.

@spugsley there is a demand~

Q: What is an XM anomaly?

On various Ingress discussion forums, there is a lot of talk about planned upcoming "XM anomalies" and who will be partaking but no-one bothers to explain what one is. What is an XM anomaly?

Q: Is there any way to make Steam overlay work on flash/AIR-based games?

If my memory serves me right, I can play Anodyne and a bunch of other flash/AIR-based games on Windows with an overlay. Now, I'm on OS X and I can't seem to pinpoint any valid solutions. Is there a "hack" or a way to make it work on OS X?

@fredley but is because of █████████████████████ or ██████████████? When I saw ██████ ██████████████ the ███████████████ I thought surely ████████████████████████████, right?

My opinion about CoH 2 in one image:

fredley

@badp Yeah. Don't even start about the ████████████. When ████████████████ to ████████████ and she ████████████████ it was a real turning point.

@Blem Least favourite character ever

@fredley I wanted to counter you, but cant think of a worse character...

badp

@Blem There's always ███████████████, █████ of ██████████.

Grace Note

@fredley At first I thought this was talking about U+2584.

fredley

@badp Pah, everyone hates ███████ after he ████████████████████.

@GraceNote I would much rather River Song's part was replaced entirely with U+2584

It would make for a much more pleasant viewing experience.

@badp ...and decrescendo. More of a spoiler swell.

Q: What fuel sources will my turtle accept?

What fuel sources do turtles accept? It seems that they used to accept more sources than they do now, and by now I mean any of the 1.5.2 mods, and by before I mean pre-1.5.2 mods.

Q: Does the silver shovel also add a chance for a second 100 bell coin to show up instead of an 8000 Bell bag?

I try to get the money rock as often as possible. The Silver Shovel adds a chance for all 8 things that pop out to be various gems instead of bells. But several times now I have also gotten 2 100 bell coins instead of the chance to get the 8000 bell bag (which I barely ever get anyway). Is this ...

@BenBrocka But how do you get the pesky thing to run most efficiently on your I7 and couple of dual GPU together? (without melting anything preferably)

With melting the GPU's I can ask a friend who did just that, melt two pretty pricy GPU's by folding Non-stop.

@LessPop_MoreFizz People wearing Google Glass are so cool, they just casually break windows with their heads.

Ben Brocka

@Arperum He should have stress-tested his stuff then. Can't imagine getting dual GPUs without being damn sure the cooling system could keep up

Kevin van der Velden

@BenBrocka can't imagine modern GPUs without thermal fail safes either

Arperum

@BenBrocka Yea, well. IIRC it was a rather hot week and he wasn't there to stop things. It ended up with cards who ran at about 120°C for a week.

@KevinvanderVelden You don't want a failsafe to kick in anyway

Kevin van der Velden

@BenBrocka I would if it prevented damage! I'd rather stop gaming for a bit and fix it than game 5 minutes longer and have a molten GPU.

Arperum

It were rather modern GPU's IIRC some 2 or 3 generations of NVidia cards back.

Ben Brocka

@KevinvanderVelden I mean you don't want the temperature to get high enough to trigger it anyway

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden They were only partly melted/roasted though. And they ran for literally months non-stop on full load.

Kevin van der Velden

@BenBrocka of course, that's what monitoring is for, but sometimes the weather is extreme or something goes wrong, that's when I want the thing to just hard shutdown

Q: Clash in the Clouds: Can money be used for anything?

I've completed every level (although not gotten every Blue Ribbon). Bought every Vigor and Weapon upgrade from both Vending Machines. Purchased every item in the Museum. And yet I still collect cash for completing levels. Aside from purchasing Resurrections, is there anywhere else in the game ...
