The Bridge

9:00 AM

@kalina apparently, I'm just glad I found the problem in under half an hour because my HTTP debugger shows a warning for it

5pike

@spyder Alright - you know the site notebookcheck.net? I suggest you go there and check the GPU

kalina

@KevinvanderVelden laziness on their part I guess

Arperum

@spyder I'd suggest against any laptop at all for gaming.

5pike

@Arperum Indeed. But if you have to buy one - avoid the laptops that have the "gamer" tag - overpriced

Arperum

@5pike I'm not going to buy one ever. I've seen a couple pretty powerfull laptops basically die on modded minecraft. They can't cool good enough I suspect.

Aeronth

9:09 AM

You don't choose to buy a gaming laptop rather than a desktop PC. You do it because you have no other choice.

That being said, their cooling is not very efficient indeed.

5pike

@Aeronth And it gets worse the older it becomes

spyder

Guys, I asked about a laptop, not about a desktop. For several reasons, I will not buy a desktop.

5pike

@spyder Yes - have you checked the site I suggested?

kalina

@spyder this is the exact reason I didn't join the competition, I have nothing to say regarding laptops other than "get a desktop"

5pike

The Gefore GT 750M seems to be a pretty decent GPU.

According to the site.

@Arperum you can use a laptop, you just need an external keyboard, mouse, screen and speakers/headset

spyder

5pike

It looks like a good laptop

Aeronth

@Blem It doesn't really adress the main flaws of gaming laptops: harder to cool, and "mobile" chips have lower performances.

I think gaming laptop have okay screens and keyboards. If you really need an optimized input device, you'll end up buying a Naga anyway, even on a desktop PC.

spyder

9:36 AM

@Aeronth Razer Naga? I have Logitech G700s already

kalina

cyborg rat 7 mmo

5pike

@kalina It looks ..... crazy and sharp

kalina

it's nice and resizeable and comfy

5pike

Looks like something out of Deus Ex

Aeronth

@spyder Wait, my bad, I meant a keypad. I thought Razer's one was called Naga.

kalina

9:42 AM

although ever since I swapped my hard disks with ssds and had a brief period where the software couldn't find its files, all the software for it has stopped working

which I haven't fixed

even though it keeps randomly tabbing me out of games with warnings

my solution was to disable the software

less effort than fixing it

Aeronth

Sounds like far too much trouble.

spyder

@kalina but software... When MadCatz bought Saitek their products become worse

kalina

my precision aim button still works

that's all that matters

pew pew

silenced headshot

CIVILIANS DOWN

bag 'em up, throw them on top of a server

store the population of a small village in bags on top of a secret rack, save space

spyder

@kalina I reinstalled drivers for Saitek X52 pro 4 times before the joystick became fully functional. They do not have normal version of the driver for Windows 7 x64

kalina

poor you

5pike

9:45 AM

Custom software for mice or keyboards is always iffy.

spyder

MadCatz will burn in hell

5pike

kalina

everybody in the world needs a 24 button mouse

5pike

@kalina What do you do with so many buttons?

kalina

@5pike well when I played WoW, I had all of them mapped to something

but in first person shooters I only really use a couple of them

I have mouse 1 bound to "murder everything under the cross hair"

mouse 2 bound to "view the things I'm murdering a little closer"

mouse 4 bound to "put more bullets in the things I'm using to commit murder"

5pike

9:52 AM

@kalina Oh yeah, I guess they are quite useful in MMOs and RTS

kalina

and mouse 5 bound to "punch the thing in front of me in the face"

spyder

@kalina enough:

kalina

oh and mouse 3 is bound to "let their be light [toggle-able]"

5pike

@kalina What? No funky green laser?

kalina

@5pike I haven't been that lucky to date

also my mouse glows pink

I just thought you should know how important that is to me

5pike

9:54 AM

@kalina I hope your keyboard does as well.

kalina

my keyboard actually glows blue

it's a terrible mismatch of colour

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina time to get to modding it then!

kalina

"modding"... heh

no

Kevin van der Velden

Why not? It's fun ^^

5pike

My mouse glows blue, but I don't know why

kalina

9:55 AM

if I get into modding, I will have a rainbow dash inspired pc case by the time I'm done

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina you say that like it's a bad thing =p

kalina

it is a bad thing

I can't paint my case while the PC is on

and no PC on means I'm not gaming

and no gaming means I must be dead

2

Kevin van der Velden

Which is why I've got a case my PC is currently in, and one I'm currently modding :)

kalina

well look at you

Kevin van der Velden

Where modding in this case means building from scratch but meh close enough

kalina

9:58 AM

all of the PCs in my house are currently in pieces and I'm currently too lazy to do anything about it

I got half way through replacing the hard disks in my main pc with ssds

so I have a pair of hard disks that used to be my raid array hanging out of the side of that pc

and then I stuck a bunch of hard disks into a pc I'm using as a fileserver

except...

well, I wish I had stuck a bunch of hard disks into it

what I actually did was plug them all in and left the hard disks sat on the top of the case

and well the third pc has more components outside of the case than inside of it

so that's a lost cause

in other news, silk road is back up and functioning

fredley

@kalina What happened to it?

kalina

@fredley I duno, yesterday it was offline all day

which prevented me from purchasing large quantities of marijuana

fortunately, it is now back up

fredley

@kalina Been raided, now installing malware, à la other hidden services?

kalina

and thus I have purchased large quantities of marijuana

@fredley I noticed no malware

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina then it's just really good malware

fredley

10:04 AM

@kalina I hope for your sake you're using Tor in a Linux VM which you rollback after every use.

I'm actually serious about this.

kalina

@fredley I actually use TOR in a Windows VM which I rollback after every use

primarily because linux does my head in

fredley

@kalina Given that the last malware attack on Tor was directed at Windows

@kalina At the end of the day it's the same Firefox window.

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina use a simple desktop focused distribution like ubuntu

kalina

Ubuntu is aids

spyder

@kalina wut?

kalina

10:07 AM

YOU READ WHAT I SAID

NO CLARIFICATION NEEDED

5pike

@kalina Then use mint or puppy

3ventic

Ubuntu is horrible

kalina

why is everybody always telling me what to do

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina we're trying to help!

spyder

@3ventic why?

Blem

10:07 AM

@kalina dance girl dance!

kalina

@Blem die in a fire

Kevin van der Velden

Or at least, I am, most of the time.

Blem

@kalina I plan to, but not for atleast another 34 years!

kalina

if my PC catches aids as a result of using Tor

3ventic

@spyder because it's so filled with crap that no one is ever going to use all of it.

kalina

10:08 AM

I will set fire to my PC and use one of my others

Tim Stone

Fire-based solutions are always best, this is true.

3ventic

Linux is supposed to be an alternative to Windows, Ubuntu is trying to be Windows, it seems.

kalina

I once removed the stupid mail program that comes with Ubuntu, I saw the aptitude warning that removing the mail program would uninstall most of the operating system but ignored it anyway

fredley

@kalina I agree, Ubuntu is a pain, use Mint

kalina

@fredley USE FIRE

fredley

10:10 AM

@kalina You laugh

5pike

@kalina can you use TOR with FIRE?

kalina

@fredley interesting

fredley

> FIRE is a Linux distribution with lots of useful security tools and a fine menu system

I love a good menu system

kalina

a fine menu system is a unique selling point

especially when used in comparison to ubuntu unity

fredley

@5pike FIRE seems to boot into RAM only, so it might be difficult

kalina

10:11 AM

or whatever they're calling it now

fredley

@kalina unity is aids

kalina

what I don't understand is people willingly install it

fredley

@kalina Ubuntu headless is a different matter

kalina

headless is the best kind of less

5pike

@fredley Isn't that just debian

but not so good?

fredley

10:12 AM

@5pike With some extra nice bits

kalina

it's debian with aids

fredley

@kalina You seem to have a deep knowledge of aids and aids byproducts

kalina

yes, I have aids

they follow me around

doing my bidding on a day to day basis

so I can say things like "You there! Clean my shoes!"

and one of my aids decloaks and starts cleaning my shoes

fredley

@kalina *aides

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina so, do you let them set fire to people? Or is that reserved for just yourself?

kalina

10:22 AM

@KevinvanderVelden they don't have the power to set fire to people

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina perhaps not with their minds, but with kerosine and a match? They might just pull it off

fredley

Witchcraft

kalina

true

I need more payday

MORE EXPERIENCE REQUIRED

NEEEEEEEEEED LEVEL 100

5pike

@kalina The amount of idiots in this game is astonishing.

kalina

the amount of retards on this planet is astonishing

Kevin van der Velden

10:25 AM

Bla, I really need to get my friends to buy payday2

And probably buy it myself as well ^o)

kalina

and I don't mean those who're genuinely disadvantaged, I mean all of those perfectly able people who act stupid

the only way my xp bar moves in a noticable manner is if I do overkill stuff now

5pike

@kalina Same

kalina

and then you find yourself in the position where you're loading the coke onto the boat, and some idiot launches multiple bags of coke over the boat into the water

5pike

@kalina Or throws more then 4 into the boat

Or doesn't know about the c4 in rats

kalina

or you've designated somebody to defuse the bombs, agreed that only one person is going on the bus, to have some idiot run onto the bus, pick up the first bag and explodes the bus

5pike

10:28 AM

Despite being lvl 56

kalina

or you've got one guard left in a heist, and some idiot walks into the main lobby with a mask on

Blem

@kalina Playing with @OrigamiRobot again?

kalina

or you're in nightclub, and after clearly stating it's a stealth run, half the group masks up before entering the building

@Blem no, these are all non-arqade people

5pike

@kalina You have to be host on stealth runs.

kalina

there have been so many times I have wished this game to have friendly fire

Kevin van der Velden

10:29 AM

@kalina Well there's your problem

kalina

I would have no issue putting a bullet into players for being retarded

@5pike I was in a group with somebody who was level 92 or something yesterday

5pike

@kalina If it's a newbie, no problem, but when it's a guy with lvl >30, he should know what to do

kalina

also didn't have a clue what was going on in watchdogs

threw all the drugs so that there was a squad of cops between us and the drugs

that was a facepalm moment

but what made it worse is it was in the opposite direction to the drop off point

5pike

@kalina Oh boy - either an XP cheater or he just ran throuhg RATS all the time

kalina

wait, it's possible to cheat and get xp?

5pike

10:32 AM

@kalina I think it is

kalina

because the xp requirements ramp up way too much to justify the outcome

5pike

Saw many cheaters - Noclipping, infinite ammo, instant-lockpick, instant-c4 etc

kalina

is there a 'set fire to everything on the screen' cheat?

3

5pike

@kalina There might be - fire is in the game, so one could cheat it in.

kalina

OH GOD I AM SO BORED

spyder

10:41 AM

Too many @kalina on my screen

kalina

needs more kalina

Sterno

@kalina You should be PAYDAYing. That would fix it.

5pike

@kalina "and no gaming means I must be dead"

kalina

@Sterno I wish I could

spyder

Not enough ~~minerals~~ kalina

kalina

10:43 AM

everything needs more kalina

5pike

Not enough ~~mana~~ kalina

kalina

I need more ~~mana~~ kalina

spyder

Everything better with kalina

Blem

University of Copenhagen had some questionable job offers in there job database

Sterno

I made $.81 playing Payday 2 yesteday, which must mean I'm some sort of genius.

spyder

10:44 AM

My life for ~~Ner'zhul~~ kalina!

kalina

@Blem obviously going to university in copenhagen means you have super high aspirations

Sterno

@kalina @OrigamiRobot must have changed his ways, because last night he was shooting people with a silencer.

kalina

you're lieing

Sterno

Okay, you're right. He was shooting people with a pistol, which had a silencer equipped.

kalina

ah ok

well at least that's actually possible

the most you could do with just a silencer is beat people around the head with it

Kevin van der Velden

10:47 AM

@Sterno was the silencer where the flashlight is supposed to go?

Sterno

@KevinvanderVelden That would require duct tape. I haven't found that mod yet.

kalina

@KevinvanderVelden no it was where the ammo clip was supposed to go

it gave the effect of being silenced, because he wasn't firing any bullets

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina well that's pretty quiet

Sterno

I'm still not sure why an optic sight for my rifle costs $128,000

5pike

@kalina clip

kalina

10:48 AM

my optic sight costs double that, be greatful

@5pike fire.

5pike

@Sterno Because of reasons.

kalina

@Sterno you need to do higher difficulty jobs

128k is nothing when your jobs pay you >1 mil each

3ventic

@kalina What pays over 1 mil?

kalina

rats, watchdogs, anything that difficulty and above I'd suspect

5pike

@3ventic Rats overkill pro, firestarter overkill pro, framing frame overkill pro etc..

3ventic

10:52 AM

@5pike Pro - right..

Sterno

Drop in for the last 10 seconds of Rats Overkill Pro. Got it.

5pike

Is it overkill pro or just pro?

3ventic

@5pike Probably 10 star pro job..

kalina

3ventic

@kalina Nice. My highest pay so far was 900k from framing frame

Sterno

10:53 AM

The best part yesterday is that I didn't know gas existed, so entered a room during bank heist I thought just had smoke. Started taking damage, couldn't figure out from where, so hunkered down and tried to get out of line of sight of doorways. Died horribly in a gas-filled room.

kalina

@5pike just overkill

5pike

@kalina Mhhh... Rats on Pro gives more money and XP then on Overkill

kalina

are you sure?

5pike

yes

Blem

Is that game so great since all are playing it?

kalina

10:54 AM
