@PrivatePansy Infinity is not a number

@PrivatePansy that is a fail... you must first import antigravity ;)

@3ventic According to JavaScript it is ;)

And so is NaN, Not a Number

@PrivatePansy Javascript is wrong.

Which is just... wrong. Yes.

Not a Number is clearly a number... uuh right?

Q: How can I install a two disk game with Wine?

I would like to install Medieval II : Total War under wine. Everything goes well until I am prompted to install the second dvd-rom to finish the install. No matter what path I supply to the installer it says setup can't find a file on the specified path or disk. I've tried the options shown for...

Hey @Wandang, ever seen a Lina with a Daedalus? O.o

Wandang

3:18 PM

@KevinvanderVelden yep and with skadi

85 IAS, 7% MS

per spell , max 3 stacks

is a lot 255

Kevin van der Velden

Jeah but she has no base damage, her other items are bloodstone, aghanim, BoT and a blink dagger

She's now got a mystic staff though

Wandang

well ok that is strange

since i would not go agha if i want to have lategame dps

and bloodstone too

blink dagger is alright because it increases your gank potential until magic dmg itself fades away. at that point you then would have 2 dps items

Meraj99

@KevinvanderVelden Daedalus is a Drow item O_O

Kevin van der Velden

@Meraj99 amongst others, it's also one I get when I play nature's prophet

@Meraj99 and from where learned those friend?

that one person was a special talent?

@RedRiderX Yup. It's also on iOS which is how I've been playing it.

It's pretty amazing.

RedRiderX

No wonder that dog's gone insane

It's not so much 'haunt people' as it is 'save their lives'.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Ah okay

@RedRiderX Basically, you can stumble across a dead person and rewind time to just before they died; then haunt objects to prevent their deaths.

@FAE @kalina Oh, I missed responding to that; Not all stimulants are 'real drugs' (Caffeine), but some most certainly are (Cocaine).

FAE

@kalina For someone who has to put a lot of work into managing their neurochemistry, no, no it is not, especially when the resulting crash can put you into a severe depressive state for weeks afterwards.

@FAE I think you are perhaps taking the endorsement too seriously. :P

RedRiderX

Ack

But it probably won't get as big

FAE

@LessPop_MoreFizz Agreed, but I can't do stuff like energy drinks, for example, because they can launch me into a hypomanic state.

Meraj99

@LessPop_MoreFizz Thanks!

RedRiderX

Oh and there is a new Star Control coming...

neat

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Meraj99 It's pretty great. If you like the Phoenix Wright games, you'll love this one.

the game play is a bit more... interactive than PW, but the storytelling is comparable, and the animations are just as fantastic.

With that reasoning, no one's allowed to be offended ever. That's stupid.

@Fluttershy One of these days, punch-in-the-face-over-IP will be a thing. Until that day, I am just not going to engage.

Wandang

huehue

offensive ? keep it to yourself. i made an wiki edit for that tag and it got approved

so the game is legit and it is a valid question

@Wandang I have very little sympathy for this flavor of flagrant trolling.

3:51 PM

@Wandang No, I'm sorry, you do not get to tell anyone what they are allowed or not allowed to be offended by.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Wandang Also, the fact that a tag wiki edit got approved is... hardly a standard for legitimacy

FAE

@Wandang This only takes like 2 people, which is hardly indicative of mass community accceptance.

Wandang

@LessPop_MoreFizz then your quality management system is broken by design

FAE

@Wandang There's a vast difference between quality management handling whether or not tag wikis edits are grammatically acceptable and considering that to be "proof" of mass community acceptance.

Wandang

have fun with your flag and hopefully chatban for today

oh you removed it? nice. you still deserve your chatban and i hope flagging archived the message

@FAE i doubt that since they could deny an tag for beeing offtopic or against policies

if they do not check that it is peer reviewed for beeing legit

and we already had that discussion in which the majority of chat was on my side

Unionhawk

3:57 PM

@wan no, it was validated.

Gratz, you suspended lesspop

FAE

@Wandang That isn't germane to current issue I have with your statement. You still do not get to tell anyone they aren't allowed to be offended by it nor do you get to attempt to silence anyone who wants to speak up on the matter.

The ignore function is a thing.

FAE

@MechanicalLoon It's going to be their last character wipe

Mechanical Loon

@FAE So characters are stored on the server then?

Baarn

@Wandang decisions are made on meta, period. Peer review of edits is to prevent vandalism or invalid edits, not to approve them.

Wandang

blood comes from the ceeling and you need to catch it with different tools . saudi arabian users could find that offensive

FEichinger

4:05 PM

@MechanicalLoon I assume it's just save game incompatibility.

Baarn

If (whatever the fuzz is about) causes people to be hostile, take it to meta, a bigger part of the community will read things on meta. (And people have more time to decide about issues)

FAE

@MechanicalLoon I think it's local, but just has to do with saves. I don't have it myself though, so you'd have to ping @Sterno, I think he's played the most.

Wandang

best part of this chat is that users block other users faster then light which i never experienced before in forums and irc

Kevin van der Velden

@MechanicalLoon characters are local (you can back them up) I'm guessing changes in savegame format as well

Wandang

@Baarn ok thanks

4:06 PM

I also see @Wandang is making more friends ... sigh

@KevinvanderVelden Interesting. Is there a date for that? I don't want to start playing until after that happens.

Origin just told me I'm already logged in from a different place. Probably just EA fucking things up anyway, but I changed my password to be sure. Though I wonder if anyone actually bothers to hack Origin accounts, I only have one due to ME3

Wandang

@MadScientist i get that message every time i log in into steam. best part is that you need to name your current login like "pc at home" etc

and i have already 15 names for 2 computer...

they just seem to fail at checking for the same iprange. i guess they check for the exact same ip which changes every 24 hours at least

Kevin van der Velden

@Wandang well stop having crappy internet, static IP adresses for the win :)

Wandang

@KevinvanderVelden i dont want static!

the only good (as far as i can see it) thing about static is beeing able to use your pc as a server by default

but i can archieve that via dns too

Kevin van der Velden

@Wandang achieve. And static IP adreses are better

Wandang

4:30 PM

you cannot refresh your ip for one click hoster or serverbans

Kevin van der Velden

@Wandang well then don't get serverbanned

Wandang

well it was bad worded

traditional serverbans and ddos preventing you from joining servers

Arperum

kill them with fire.

Wandang

not that i get ddosed but static ip is well

if your static ip gets published to the internet it might be bad if your router does not provide a good firewall

Kevin van der Velden

@Wandang every ip on the internet is scanned constantly

Wandang

4:33 PM

thats what i believe at least

Kevin van der Velden

Security by obscurity does not work when scriptkiddies can scan the internet in an hour

Wandang

sure there are crawler/scanner but making it static would make it worse

they cannot

their isp blocks that

it does around here

Baarn

@Wandang uhm, nope …

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden There are only so many IPv4-adresses.

Wandang

openly port and ipscanning should be a pattern that isps can find no?

Baarn

4:36 PM

pretty easy to scan the whole IPv4 range, depending on the tool and accuracy it can be done quite quick

@Wandang why do they want to waste resources on that?

Wandang

i thought i read about it tbh

and we got blacklisted twice but we are in an university net

that is a man in the middle

to the isp

to be clear. we scanned our own nets for ports

but thank you for clearing that up. i was misguided there
