@Blem Oh that's evil.

I was pulling out the files one by one, and out of one of them crawled out two spiders.

You can't link election comments directly :(

I said "Oh look, there's spiders in here", and my assistant started slowly backing away from the cabinet

12:03 PM

@StrixVaria You can. They all have an id attribute.

They are just not linked on the site.

@PrivatePansy you have an assistant? :O

I wonder if it'll onebox, though.

gaming.stackexchange.com/election/…

Not even close.

@StrixVaria It is an IRL friend, I guess he wants cake

Two, actually, in my section. I'm the leader of the section, and the two are suppose to help me.

"complimate"

12:05 PM

@Blem I figured this, since he's also from Denmark.

You probably know everyone in Denmark.

@StrixVaria there are what, like 3 people and a duck there?

I'm playing Sacred (Gold) as a Battle Mage and am currently near the end of chapter 1. I'm playing as some kind of fire mage with a lot of fire damage and use Fire Spiral for attacking (sometimes Purgatory for single targets out of my close range) and a combo for buffing me. My kind of "problem...

Q: I want to install Origin

I am a complete and utter noob at using ubuntu and linux in general (I literally just put it on my second harddrive yesterday). I would like to get OriginEA onto my computer so that I can play games. I already have steam because there was an app in the software center. But EA doesn't have a compa...

I'm guessing kalina is gonna win moderator... and then, all hell will be loose.

12:13 PM

I doubt that very much, to both parts of the statement

and WHY does Hawken say that remaining download is xxxx.92MB

Mhh... kalina being a mod... why does this remind me of The age of Fire from Dark Souls?

And why does everyone have 50+ish internet? I have 8 :(

@Meraj99 they're all cheating, they're at work

@KevinvanderVelden :P

12:17 PM

Except me, my internet is awesome at home =]

@KevinvanderVelden Wait, you can have 50+ish internet at work? o_O

@Meraj99 uuh jeah, that's kinda expected for large companies

I have 0 internets at work! Ahaha, beat that! oh god somebody help me

:D

Huh, my internet at work is crappier than my internet at home

12:24 PM

Can someone tell me some really bad things about Hawken? I can't wait to play it, but the download is too slow.... so... I need to get the hype down :D

fredley

My home internet defies belief

It is like dialup

at home i officially have "at least 50/50", but last time i tested it was 136/97

@Meraj99 Mhh... the only thing I heard is that it's supposedly a prime example of pay2win

downloaded most of ESO at 26mb/s

Q: House Party Protocol glitch?

@Blem ooh neat, I wish I had better upload but my download can't go higher because I'm stuck with wireless anyway

I finished the story and all, and done the bonus mission in Stark Tower named "House Party Protocol" got Stan Lee in Peril and True Believers, yet when I try to go in again for the Red Brick, it doesn't ask me if I want to do it in Free play mode or not, in which I cannot get the Red Brick.

@KevinvanderVelden You're download is slower on wireless?

@KevinvanderVelden I am looking for a new place to live, I will be missing that connection

@KevinvanderVelden And does that matter if you have wireless and ethernet connected? :P

@Meraj99 no, my internet DL is at the maximum throughput of my wireless

So increasing my internet DL won't work without putting wires down, which can't be done cause the place I live in is ancient and has way to large concrete slabs for ceilings

@KevinvanderVelden ...

Does your internet speed get slower if you have BOTH Wireless and Ethernet connected? :P

12:28 PM

@Meraj99 actual throughput = min( internet throughput, wireless throughput ) = min( ~120, ~100 )

@Meraj99 no, but not faster either unless windows get's confused

Or you mess with your network infrastructure, which is possible but not easy

@KevinvanderVelden How do I confuse it?

@Meraj99 by enabling to network interfaces into the same network

That can theoretically confuse it and cause it to panic and slow things down

It doesn't do usually

@KevinvanderVelden But I want it to speed things up x3

Oh wait I typed that wrong, it's neither slower nor faster by default

But it's slower if windows get's confused

Hawken is stuck on xxxx.92MB left, and is downloading 10 times slower... problem?

12:31 PM

@Meraj99 DL server sucks?

@5pike Hawken

@StrixVaria Congratulations! That's my sister's birthday.

@Meraj99 If the Hawken server is overloaded from people trying to download the game, that'll be the result.

@FAE Thanks!

@Arperum It's Hawken...

@Arperum and still in beta too.

12:35 PM

So their download server might not be awesome yet

@StrixVaria adds more congratulations If you ever end up in Belgium I'll get you something.

@Arperum Didn't you already get me Starbound?

Last save wipe in Starbound this week, yay

@Meraj99 If they have a max upload speed of ~100MBps and 1000 people try to download it everyone gets 0.1MBps at best. probably less.

Hopefully

12:37 PM

@StrixVaria That didn't count! Unrelated and such.

@3ventic Oh cool, that means I can start playing it.

@StrixVaria Yup. I already played it through once before the first wipe so I hope there's more interesting content now

It got removed from my account :( Because the jerk I traded with gave me a humble key gotten thorugh credit card fraud.

It seems like an old Hitman game was just released on Steam.

@StrixVaria Are you going to find out what the sex of the baby is or leave it a surprise?

12:39 PM

@FAE We're going to find out.

Ooh, congratulations @StrixVaria!

The appointment for that ultrasound isn't for 9 weeks, though.

@KevinvanderVelden Thanks!

Oh, missed that completely. Congratulations @Strix

@StrixVaria Yeah, I figured it'd be a bit, given the due date. Are you hoping for anything in particular?

Thanks @KevinvanderVelden and @3ventic

@FAE Healthy.

12:40 PM

'grats @Strix

Thanks @kalina

@StrixVaria best answer to that question =p, my mom confused so many people by giving that exact answer ><

@StrixVaria I hope so too. :) Don't you guys still have to honeymoon too?

Whenever someone pings me here, the other chat tab gets the "sound playing here" icon in my Chrome...

That's very annoying

@FAE Welp.

12:41 PM

@3ventic EL&U for me

@3ventic DMZ for me at home, it also gets the icon for desktop notifications from DMZ

I wonder if it changes if I change the order in which the tabs are..

probably not

I think it does actually play the sound in that other room too

@3ventic its because chat messages beep in every room

@RhysW but it doesn't show the icon in the room where the ping is

@StrixVaria ?

12:44 PM

@FAE We had a vacation planned for July but plans have changed.

@3ventic huh, maybe it does only beep in the one you were last in then, cant say ive investigated it actually

We might try to do something earlier than that I guess.

But there's a lot of stuff to save money for now.

@3ventic order the windows are opened (and thus, order the stuff that results in the notifiers starts)

@RhysW That doesn't seem to matter either, it only shows it in the other tab, no matter the order or which tab I have or had last active

@kalina This makes sense

@kalina This sounds most likely

12:45 PM

only one window checks for notifications

@StrixVaria Yeah, understandable. I wish you both the best!

that's the window the sounds plays it, and that's the window that spawns the notification windows

@3ventic

@3ventic shame on me, ping you twice

Is a game outdated if some FAQ pages have 2012 copyright on the bottom? o. o

Okay

12:46 PM

@FAE Thanks! It's pretty exciting/terrifying.

@Meraj99 Copyright notices say nothing.

@Meraj99 possibly, but unlikely

@Meraj99 how do you mean? Having an old copyright notice doesn't really make the game out dated

@3ventic Is the hypothesis confirmed? :D

@RhysW Possibly

12:46 PM

@Meraj99 Nah, they probably just forgot to update the copyright.

Q: Wrong network icon used on chat notifications when in multiple channels?

10

When you're in multiple channels associated with multiple different networks, the channel notifications popup seems to just choose one of those networks and always use the icon for that network. For example, I am in channels associated with Information Security, Arqade, Game Development, Anime &...

bug chat ping

Some pages from that have 2012.

@Meraj99 yeah that doesn't really mean anything

besides, since when is a game being old a cause for issue?

@kalina gah, you have the same user image and im confused

12:47 PM

@Meraj99 Probably forgotten. Static pages and such.

@RhysW I... we're the same user

@kalina WoW = Unplayable now.

It uses the one I had open first

@kalina Was epic in 2003.

@kalina but ... names...oh i see

12:48 PM

@Meraj99 it's still playable, 7 million people play it frequently.

Well, Wikipedia says release date is April 12, 2012

@kalina fail

lawl

Im always caught out by scrolling chat windows

@3ventic somebody posted a message, my RDP is laggy, <insert excuse here>

12:49 PM

@kalina this is why I use keyboard instead of the button to reply

@3ventic there is a keyboard shortcut?

I've burned, starred, replied to and flagged wrong messages.

@RhysW There's a script for it.

@RhysW userscript

ahh

@FEichinger hey i swear you used to be italic

Q: Receiving chat notifications 5-10 seconds before the message that caused the notification?

12:50 PM

@3ventic on conjunction with this:

5

So here's the situation, I'm chatting away on The Bridge, and suddenly I receive a bunch of notifications indicating somebody just @pinged me: However, as you can see, I've received the notifications but not the actual messages. In fact, chat stayed looking like this for another ~10 seconds be...

bug chat ping

@OliverSalzburg made it

I think

@RhysW Oh, I did. But room owners in the Bridge are frequently removed and readded ... and reremoved.

which contains this comment:

There are two websockets. One for the notifications, one for the main display. Don't ask me why or whether. — Jan Dvorak 2 days ago

@FEichinger Sort of like a games highscore list

Oliver Salzburg

@3ventic Indeed, I made such a thing

12:50 PM

I imagine it only checks for notifications in the first window

How do you cancel editing x. x ANNOYING!

esc

@Meraj99 escape

or the cancel button

@kalina Works :D

12:51 PM

@Meraj99 assuming you mean chat

@RhysW There is no cancel button?

Another name that's long enough that the diamond is hidden >.<

@kalina Yea...

@Meraj99 press the up arrow, look to the right 'Cancel editing' button appears

@Meraj99 another known issue - the cancel button fades in, certain actions makes it not

12:52 PM

@3ventic hidden?

@RhysW @kalina Well, the button is there, but INVISIBOL!

@Meraj99 0.o oh fair enough

@RhysW custom stylesheet:

5

@3ventic gotcha

12:53 PM

All names are blue so mods have diamonds

slightly different shade of blue though

I would have given mods orange names :L

I need to add an option for mod name colors :p

@3ventic I wish you could change the styles x. x

ow ow ow, pins and needles

@3ventic Make every name rainbow colored and have the mods be a reverse rainbow!

That sounds like the bestest idea ever... or wait was that worst idea ever?

12:54 PM

Animated rainbow names

@3ventic only on moues over!

What.

I made the music for that.

@GnomeSlice Congratulations! You have found a flaw in YouTube's Content ID system.

That's the clip.

wtf

You're the third one I've seen getting flagged for their own content

12:58 PM

That was in the loops class though, so maybe we didn't actually have license to use the loops.

@GnomeSlice did you sign over the copyright?

@GnomeSlice hmm maybe, depends on how you transformed it (transformative use is fair use I believe)

depends

They claimed it at 0:41

Maybe it's the morse code sound for the satellite?

> "T-Series is India's largest music label"

WTF

Should I dispute it?

@GnomeSlice I'd say yes.

Note: I didn't actually listen to it. AT work and such.

GO GO HELP JAMAICA!

1:04 PM

Ergh, I don't know which reason to choose

Still, youtube's been going crazy lately. Sending out claims all over the place.

OrigamiRobot

@Blem Where is John Candy?

@GnomeSlice I'd think so.

@OrigamiRobot To busy bobsledding.

I nearly added an extra "o" to that sentence.

@Arperum well, you did add an extra o, it was just at the least interesting place to put it =[
