9:00 AM
@5pike I'm asking myself and myself is going "<censored> <censored> you <censored> <censored> kidding <censored> <redacted> <censored>, SERIOUSLY?"
 
@spyder Solution: Stop thinking some of the time
@kalina U+2588
 
there are no black squares
get payday 2
 
██████████████
 
I SAID NO BLACK SQUARES
 
██████████ you ████████████ kidding ███████████████, SERIOUSLY?
 
9:01 AM
no
that's not what I told myself
 
@kalina ████ you
 
@fredley :D
 
@kalina Win.
 
@spyder Let me count the ways
 
I'm about to delete it anyway
people starred me where I didn't want to be starred

censorship ftw
the great wall of kalina
made from lego bricks
 
@kalina nooooo, why you delete this?
 
because I can
 
@spyder She is evil. Do not question her ways.
4
 
I'm not evil
I am misunderstood
 
9:04 AM
@fredley chaotic evil?
 
@kalina That's what they all say.
 
@spyder chaotic neutral actually
 
@kalina Chaotic neutral best alignment
Or possibly chaotic good
 
@fredley neutral good
 
9:09 AM
@spyder Nope. Neutral is most dull after chaotic and lawful.
 
chaotic neutral
 
@kalina Just spread chaos and confusion without changing the balance of anything?
 
that's me exactly
so last night
we'd made it through the security door
 
@fredley neutral good guided by the principles in acts of goodness and altruism, helping everyone who can, but without bigotry. Not too concerned about the issue, as far as his actions correspond to public morality and law.
 
had a bit of an altercation with the night club manager
which resulted in mass confusion and minor panic but the cops didn't get called
then SOMEBODY goes and punches a hole in a window
while I'm busy cracking the safe
and before you know it
 
9:12 AM
@spyder Dull dull dull
 
cops, cops everywhere
raining down around us
 
@kalina GTA?
 
@fredley I'm dull
 
> A chaotic good character acts as his conscience directs him with little regard for what others expect of him. He makes his own way, but he's kind and benevolent. He believes in goodness and right but has little use for laws and regulations. He hates it when people try to intimidate others and tell them what to do. He follows his own moral compass, which, although good, may not agree with that of society.
 
@fredley but his goodness in no way interferes with the case of revenge
 
@badp DAMN YOU BADP

@kalina did you play with random people?

Q: Where is the golden Walker?

skovacs1The Achievement "Golden Idol" says: Kill the golden Walker I am aware that the achievements for Super Sanctum TD are super bugged td, so maybe I've done this already, didn't see it in the cluster of death and have no indication because of the rarely functioning achievements, but where/when ...

 
9:31 AM
@5pike no
with OrigamiRobot, Wipqozn and Ronan
 
@kalina Oh ok. Random guys can often f-up a heist
 
this was panic I think, I'm not sure @OrigamiRobot had ever seen NPCs panicking without an alarm going off
we will stealth that level soon enough though
 
@kalina They should really ad a bonus for successful stealth.
 
that would be good
 
2x to money or xp
 
9:34 AM
there kinda is a bonus though
no escape level
 
@kalina Can be bought via asset, though.
Have to check how expensive that is
 
the stealth mechanics are a bit too iffy at times
 
I've done quite a few missions full stealth during the past few days in Payday 2..
 
The only mission I always stealth is framing frame
 
yeah but at times I find that people will become alerted for seemingly random things
 
9:36 AM
Other missions are faster if you just start shooting
 
@5pike You don't stealth big oil?
 
Played that only once
 
Also, I've been doing <2-minute four stores a lot
full stealth
Trying to get some patterns for my masks
 
@3ventic I just take the saw and open an ATM
 
@5pike Just as fast using ECM - it just doesn't raise an alarm.
And it's faster since getting an alarm is almost guaranteed escape mission nowadays.. :(
 
9:38 AM
@3ventic Do you need a special skill to do that with ECM?
 
@5pike As far as I know, no you don't.
 
@3ventic Nice
 
Can you just do the same mission over and over?
 
But then again, I have all the ECM skills except the incapacitating one, so I wouldn't know for sure.
 
Makes the saw even more useless, though.
 
9:39 AM
@NickBayley Yes
 
Even in the bank jobs, sawing open the lockers doesn't yield enough to make it worth the time.
 
@5pike Saw is still the most efficient way to open deposit boxes and get the paintings in framing frame day 1
 
Also - at high level, money is useless
@3ventic Yeah
 
@3ventic With no decay of xp or money or whatever the game uses? So you can just farm a level which yields the best xp/$ to time ratio?
 
@NickBayley Yepp
If you can find the job, that is
 
9:41 AM
@5pike And if you can't, you can buy it with your offshore money
 
Best job for farming XP is rats
 
@5pike Rats pro job on overkill is about 160k XP for me
 
@3ventic 160K ? I only get about 80K
Oh wait - pro job
I don't find them that often
 
Ukrainian Job is definitely the fastest, provided you have C4, which makes that under 35 seconds
 
@3ventic Yeah, but at high level, Rats is better
 
9:44 AM
@5pike It depends on what you're after
 
@3ventic Yeah. Card farming - Ukrainian Job
 
If I'm after a quick payday to farm some gun parts/patterns, I'll just rush Ukrainian Job/Four stores a lot
and when I want to actually have some fun with little to no progress, I'll just go framing frame or big oil
and sneak them all the way
 
I haven't bothered with card farming at all
I was pretty lucky with silencer drops though
 
I have one pattern and it sucks, so I'm farming cards to get some more..
 
I'm not too bothered about masks either
 
9:48 AM
All I want are weapon parts
 
there are so female characters so playing around with aesthetics is pointless
 
But I just get masks and patterns
 
give me silencers
NEED STUBBY
so I can run around going pew pew pew with my car-4
 
They could create an in-game market for parts - Money would be more valuable then.
 
mmmh
the offshore account thing is stupid
like 450 mil I can never touch
so unfair
 
9:49 AM
@kalina You can buy heists, though.
 
@kalina I just got stealth barrel for my car-4 and it's awesome.
 
"yay"
@3ventic I'm using a low profile suppressor on mine atm, it's average, not stealthy enough to take people out still though
my pistol on the other hand, I can take out anybody with that and nobody will hear
 
@kalina Low visibility with car-4 and my pistol with the medium silencer is pretty awesome.
 
they should have let you customise your suit
 
I only use melee for stealth
Works pretty good so far
 
9:55 AM
@fredley it's my honor!
 
oh hey
I have way more money than I expected to
that's a pleasant surprise
 
@3ventic sweet

Q: What are the differences in maps between difficulty levels?

3venticI noticed that Four Stores always has the door in the back alley (see the image) open on Normal difficulty, but it's always locked on hard and above. What maps are affected by difficulty and how are they affected?

Q: Where do the red (unlucky) cookies come from?

Zommuter At some point these red cookies started showing up, and their effect on clicking is pretty unlucky, namely I loose billions of cookies or cookie production is halved. What caused them to appear and do they interfere with lucky cookies' appearance?

 
Today I saw on the street this relict of soviet-era:
 
@spyder I'd buy one
 
RAF-2203 Latvija
 
and outfit it like a camper
 
10:15 AM
@5pike about $1400
 
@spyder Pretty cheap
I doubt that I find one here, though
 
@5pike but it will be difficult to get spare parts, production stopped since the mid 90's.
 
@5pike I flagged it. It's a really weird post though, mostly because of the comment from the same author.
 
10:32 AM
@Arperum I'd say a bot
But you never know
 
@5pike some weird anti-gay bot.
 
O_o
 
@Blem wut?
 
that is a strange video
 
10:42 AM
@Blem :D
 
@spyder Really strange video yes.
 
@Arperum but that's exactly right: "deadline is the line you go along not the one you cross"
 
@spyder "Ready for anything" - Rocket comes out of a hatch
I like it
 
Lol, Cookie Clicker has a function RuinTheFun()
 
10:58 AM
@fredley And? Does it ruin the fun?
 
Shit, nothing is fun anymore
WHAT HAVE I DON
 
OH GOD HELP ME I CAN'T STAY AWAKE
 
@kalina LIE ON THE GROUND, THAT WILL HELP
 
YOU ARE NOT HELPFUL
 
@kalina set fire to yourself, that will help you stay awake! (for a while at least)
 
11:07 AM
@kalina JOIN ME IN MY QUEST FOR AWAKENESS.
 
I need warm and comfy bed
 
@kalina MAKE ONE ON THE FLOOR
 
@fredley OUT OF FIRE
 
NO I NEED COMFY
 
apply fire to comfy chair
 
11:10 AM
@kalina FIRE IS COMFY
 
@kalina SCRUNCH UP PRINTER PAPER TO MAKE SOFT BEDDING. NEST BUILDING +1
 
11:27 AM
considering going home sick
that will resolve my sleep problem
 
@kalina Sleep is an illness
 
lack of sleep is an illness
sleep is the solution
to... literally everything
 
British Logic
 
tired? go to sleep
ill? go to sleep
annoyed? go to sleep
hungry? go to sleep
 
on fire?
 
11:30 AM
just woke up? go to sleep
fredley still hasn't got payday 2? go to sleep
 
@kalina I haven't been paid for August yet, if that's what you mean
 
on error goto sleep
5
 
@fredley ...and?
 
@spyder That's a post box
 
@kalina the exclamation point?
 
11:34 AM
@fredley O_O
 
@OrigamiRobot yeah
I don't know if it was you, you're just easiest to blame
 
@spyder Yeah
 
so it's your fault
 
No, I've see that.
Blame me for what?
 
breaking the glass
 
11:35 AM
> Royal Mail spokesperson Val Bodden said: "The recent appearance of a post box frontage on the side of the river bridge at Sonning is a mystery to us.
Sonning == Night Vale, UK
 
you had to explain it, it's no longer funny
 
@kalina Oh, no I was crouched in the back the whole time. Confused.
 
well then it's probably still your fault, for standing at the back being confused
 
Probably
 
I think when I get home tonight I'm going to sleep, so that I'm awake in the right timezone to play games

Q: How to disable Cow/Sheep/Horse tile sounds?

ValamasI am hearing Cow/Sheep/Horse sounds coming from the tiles. This is despite having ambience audio volume set to zero. I only have Sound Effect volume above zero. I find those noises should be ambience, much like when you zoom in on a city, you hear car honk sounds. How can I silence the lambs? ...

Q: What does Steam give me as a gamer?

user1306322I know I can buy games in Steam, but what are the benefits of doing so over purchasing a no-DRM retail version of a game? How can I benefit from Steam in terms of gaming and user experience?

 
@ColeBusby The real question is not whether it's availiable in the states, but whether it's availiable in your state; craft beer distribution is super regional, and in a lot of cases, kind of quirky. If it's in your state, then yeah, it's the sort of thing a BevMo or a Total Wine would carry, but whether it's in your state is another entirely separate question.
That said, Southern Tier is as far west as Washington, but they aren't in California, so it's going to be patchy too.
Also, Creme Brulee stout is starting to get out of season now, so might be a bit harder to find. But Pumking (which is in season) is also absurdly fucking delicious. It is pie in a bottle.
 
6-core CPU reccomended? Holy sheeet.
 
@fredley well but what if kalina sets the lake on fire?
@tombull89 hello new console gen requirement spike
 
@badp Your hypothetical question is weak
 
@fredley so is british logic
 
11:48 AM
@tombull89 that is BS, BF3 had ~15 fps on this "minimum"
 
@badp Logic is always strong, axioms however can be weak.
 
@fredley That's mathematically wrong
 
@badp Incorrect. Logic is logic is always infallible.
The sun is a fish, I like eating fish, therefore I like eating the sun. This logic is correct.
 
@badp new console gen will have medium graphics settings (compare to PC)
 
The axioms however are questionable.
 
11:51 AM
just google "set of all sets that don't belong to themselves"
 
@badp So? Google division by 0.
 
@fredley yes, division is also weaksauce.
 
@badp axiom of choice, highly controversial thing
Bye everyone. I'm going home to sleep off.
 
@spyder Nighty-night.
 
So helpful
 
11:57 AM
@tombull89 Recommended: Win 8. The first who makes that required is going to get a whole lot of hate over him.
 
12:16 PM
@tombull89 that's AMD 6 core, because they need the extra 2 cores to be competitive with Intel
 
bah, all the cool kids have 32 cores
 
yawn Morning.
Well, okay Afternoon ... But still, tired as hell.
x.x
 
@FEichinger DAMN YOU for being able to sleep until afternoon!
 
@Arperum Only 9 more days ... :(
 
@FEichinger And then work? or school?
 
12:31 PM
@Arperum University. Trying to finally get that Maths down.
And then I get another two weeks off. :P
 
@FEichinger Math as a single course or Math as a Master?
 
@Arperum Single course. I study Computer Science.
 
Hm. I wonder how much coffee I would need to go a full year without sleeping.
 
@GraceNote A lot.
 
@FEichinger Ah. Then it was relatively easy for me. One of the few things I succeeded at University.
@GraceNote I'm pretty certain you'd end up dead if you tried.
 
12:34 PM
@FEichinger Eh, it could depend. Sleepiness is a measure of turns, not time, so if I could pass time faster than I go by turns then I could significantly reduce the required coffee intake.
Though I could rely on more coffee and simply rely on the coffee to stave off starvation as well, so it may be better to stick with more coffee.
 
@GraceNote ...
@Arperum Oh it is easy. I just didn't bother catching up throughout the semester, so I'm taking the condensed review before actually writing that exam.
 
@GraceNote sanity check: can 2kers edit any post for any reason changing any amount of characters, or have there been introduced changes lately restricting this?
 
@FEichinger Ah that way.
 
@badp No checks. What issue be ye running into?
 
@MartijnPieters you think you'd give me a minute to correct, but nooo, the system says my edit to my own post was not substanial. grumbleSathya 9 mins ago
(I'm asking because I just asserted "no checks" on meta yesterday or so.)
 
12:40 PM
You should be right.
 
I bet @GraceNote would be interested in my dream from the other night
 
Oh, did you guys know that there's an automated "Your question might be subjective" warning?
 
Sep 7 at 10:16, by OrigamiRobot
@badp came to visit the US. Everything was going fine until he called @spugsley a reptile and pushed her. When she reported this to SE, @Mana told her she had to leave the site. She called @Raven for a 2nd opinion, but got the same response. I deleted my account in protest. @Wipqozn and @RonanForman were very sad that the trip was ruined.
 
I came across it last night... it was weird.
 
@OrigamiRobot The one where @badp visited the US or did you have another brainfart?
 
12:43 PM
@OrigamiRobot Did students from the dimension of Ereberoff come on a sort of exchange program to learn about our world and our knowledges, with a teacher coming to lecture us, only for you and a friend to discover that hidden in the lecture notes were plans for a major disaster in Ereberoff, keyed to each letter of its name, leading the two of you to Scooby-gang over there and solve the mystery by delving through nine Zelda-style dungeons, all while watched by the mysterious enemy?
@OrigamiRobot Oh. Huh.
 
@OrigamiRobot you know you pinged each and every one of us again, including spugsley
 
@badp You don't get pinged for quotes.
 
@OrigamiRobot yes I just have been
 
@badp Unless mods are different like that.
Nope
No pings
 
weird.
or maybe it was @Arperum that pinged me and your quote just has the orange text
@Arperum YOU SHALL PAY FOR THIS!!
 
12:45 PM
OH NO @BADP IS GONNA PUSH YOU!
Run!
 
@OrigamiRobot Arperum's no reptile, you wicked thing
 
Meta post incoming. Maybe.
Also, Divekick is cray-cray.
 
@Fluttershy You'll get better at it :D
 
@OrigamiRobot I did fine when you weren't playing The Baz The Cheater!
 
He's not a cheater, he's just weird.
 
12:56 PM
He's a cheater.
 
He and Dr Shoals are the ones I've had the most practice with.
 
It's called Divekick, not Divekick-and-win-without-landing-a-kick.
Eleven hours to go!
 
how do you win without landing a kick?
 
@Sconibulus By using a streak of lightning instead.
 
12:59 PM
@OrigamiRobot Wait, Uncle Sensei's actually in the game?
 
Huh? I thought this was a two button game?
 
@Sconibulus It is
 
Some of those people have like four lines!
 
@OrigamiRobot "Yolo Boost"?
 
1:00 PM
Huh. I thought he was just there to give you hilariously irrelevant advice.
 
@Sconibulus There are a lot of different things you can do with two buttons.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz ಠ_ಠ
Divekick has Jframes? Interest gone.
CC @RedRiderX @AshleyNunn
 
@MichaelDunfield You start with 4 losses, but you are buffed.
 
@OrigamiRobot So you only get one life?
 
@GraceNote Nope, he is also there to kick you with his boot hands
@MichaelDunfield Yea

Q: If I retrain a crew can I still use them in a lower tier vehicle?

RobI have two SPG's, Tier 5 and Tier 3; My Tier 3 crew is rather experienced (better than the Tier 5) and I intend to retrain them for my impending Tier 6 SPG. However; will I still be able to use the crew in my Tier 3 SPG as well? And will the retrained crew gain experience that they can use in t...

 
Good morning, Bridge
 
@MichaelDunfield It got surprisingly complicated over it's development
 
@OrigamiRobot So I noticed.
 
@MichaelDunfield I'll have you know I didn't pin it.
@Fluttershy Are you referring to the Steam question?
Because I refuse to believe we haven't had a "WHY SHOULD I USE THIS CRAZY STEAM THING" question before.
 
Steam is dumb.
 
1:20 PM
@LessPop I can't see what that is a reply to.

Meta post incoming. Maybe.

Ugggghhhh.
 
1:24 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz shouldent
@BenBrocka teehee
 
@BenBrocka "Human, what the hell are you looking at?"
 
@MichaelDunfield i reley dont wan to say this, but i have to now. this questions r so dam essy!
 
@LessPop Ah, yeah. That was what I was referring to.
 
@BenBrocka blam this piece of crap!
 
Yay. I get to spend twenty minutes at work, and then back home I go, to get my car and off to a client meeting.
 
1:27 PM
How does a user with 650 reputation cast a reopen vote?
 
@TZHX If he's the asker of the question.
 
Weeee I'm at the top of the supercollider again
 
@TZHX Neh, were you able to read my apology before Raven deleted the comments from the Diablo 3 console question?
 
1:35 PM
@GraceNote Apology? No, but after posting the duplicate question I finished work and went home, when I looked again the next day it was all sorted.
 
@TZHX Then let me repeat it for you.
It wasn't my intention to call anyone who voted to reopen dumb. I don't think the action's state implies the nature of the individual. All the same, I hadn't realized it was taken as I was calling the reopeners dumb, and I'm sorry to have given that implication.
 
'dumb' is such a strong word.
 
... right.
 
Also, note to self: don't download 'visual novels' recommended by friends without checking them out first because they might turn out to be hentai.
 
...which did you pick up this time?
 
@BenBrocka "Human, I'm shocked and appalled by your question."
 
@BenBrocka "Sir, are you aware that you are a cat?" "I... what?"

@Unionhawk better
 
Conductors are funny/terrifying
 
@5pike I like how appalled he looks in both frames
$10 gift card if you preorder a PS4 controller or Xbox One controller from newegg today
I'll probably bite, probably going to be about the best deal there is on those until well after release
 
1:49 PM
@BenBrocka Yeah, Unionhawks "caption" is perfect for his look
 
@GraceNote The Sagara Family
 
Ahha.
 
I take it from your reaction that you're familiar with that one?
 
oh god
whiny customers
fuck
 
@kalina GO BACK TO SLEEP
 
1:54 PM
just leave me alone, there has to be something better for you to do with your day than chase me for work you don't understand
 
@GraceNote What should I expect from playing a visual novel... game...? I've never played one before, and recently had one recommended to me.
 
@BenBrocka buy a PS4 controller and then decide closer to release date you actually want an Xbone
@Fluttershy I read the word "graphic" in this sentence, not sure where it came from
 
Depends on the novel? As a superclass, they're basically electronic choose-your-own-adventure books.
 
@kalina Yeah because that's totally going to happen
 
@BenBrocka I don't know what you're talking about, the Xbone is obviously the superior piece of hardware
 
1:57 PM
I doubt anyone remotely on the fence would preorder...anything
 
Some will have actual stats to track, others will have you keeping schedules, while others are fairly straightforward. About the main thing to know is that typically, everything you do matters.
 
@GraceNote Gotcha. I loved CYOA books! :3
 
made by a company that is absolutely dedicated to gaming
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz This question is basically "Why do you use Steam?"
If he wants to ask "What is Steam?" that's already a question.
 
@OrigamiRobot I don't use Stream
 
1:59 PM
@kalina I have evidence to the contrary.
