Q: Starcraft 2 limitations on expansions

I'm currently playing SC2 with it's free starter edition. I already loved it and planing buy it. But i've some questions. If I buy only WoL, can i play ranked/unranked matches? If I buy only WoL, can i reach highest level on each races? (currently stucked on 10lvl) If I buy only WoL, can i rece...

starcraft-2 achievements starcraft purchase

@Lazers That has nothing to do with starcraft. And purchase is a terrible tag.

@OrigamiRobot @TimStone @GnomeSlice @RavenDreamer ONE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK (until Banished)

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn gets banned from chat in one week?

@KevinvanderVelden No. Banished comes out in a week.

11:13 AM

IT'S SNOWING!

In Canada it is always snowing.

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn ooh, so you'll just leave chat in a week? :)

@kalina IT'S SUNNY

I have no idea how that happened over here

@kalina yep

like, blizzard style snow thing happening outside

Kevin van der Velden

Cool

11:14 AM

which means the country is about to grind to a halt for a week again

Kevin van der Velden

We have had no snow at all this winter

@KevinvanderVelden Over here it's one huge cloud, but if you try to look outside the sun shines in my eyes, but I can't see it because clouds...

@KevinvanderVelden I'll probably be in chat talking about how awesome Banished is in-between playing Banished.

Oh, now I get your joke. Derp.

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn SO SLOW

@KevinvanderVelden A single evening, and mostly around the area where my parents live. And I was in my car driving home after visiting them.

Q: Modded Cars Gta Online

I'm wondering what car that you can find on the street that you can sell for most money when it's fully costumized. I know that the Futo and the Sultan goes for 100k+ when fully modded but are there any cars that's more expensive?

mods grand-theft-auto-5 gta-online

@Wipqozn ...

@Wipqozn So they make an error, promise you free food, and then you go and shoot at them. Sound logical.

11:30 AM

@Arperum They made the same error again. Still no reason to start shooting.

NO IT ISN'T. Not even in games you get plots this retarded.

@5pike Ask for another free meal? Go eat somewhere else where they serve actual food?

@Arperum A logical person would do that. We know that this person doesn't do logic

at all

@5pike Enough proof of that yea.

They should also consider giving this person a legal guardian (and ban her from owning guns).

@5pike Banning from guns is probably not possible, considering US and all that nonsense.

11:37 AM

@Arperum Yeah, true.

Frankly, when you order food from a fast food place you should expect there to be mistakes.

That's part of the reason I haven't ordered fast food in years.

@fredley Today strikes me as a good day to listen to all 6 of Tchaikovsky symphonies in reverse order.

I haven't eaten at a fastfood place in quite some time since I always get sick from the plastic that is server as "meat".

@Wipqozn Alot of Tchaikovsky

@fredley Yes

@Arperum We only get cardboard here...

11:40 AM

@5pike Oh so maybe that woman got cardboard instead of plastic, or the other way around.

Fast food is normally quite horrible, I concur.

@Wipqozn Especially from big chains

In other news, I should have a Chocolate Chip Banana Muffin for breakfast.

@Wipqozn It's noon, crazy Americans (pointing to the continent here) eating breakfast at noon..

@Arperum Everyone not in my timezone is in the incorrect timezone.

11:45 AM

@Wipqozn Everyone not in the UTC needs to get the hell off our planet.

@Wipqozn Points to Correct Earth Time cc @badp

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum Correct Earth Time is best time

2

also, Daylight Savings Time is dumb and we should get rid of it.

4

I think we can start sending people to this one

To "game rec" :P

PS: Morning everypony

PS2: Morning everyone else

Ponies use playstation, everyone else uses playstation 2

11:49 AM

@Wipqozn That's exactly what Correct Earth Time does.

Noon is when the Sun is above your head.

I think the whole planet should use UTC

@3ventic So if you'd stand on your head in the middle of the night it suddenly becomes noon?

yes I know that means some people wouldn't ever see daylight

I'd move to one of those countries too

@Arperum No, that just makes your legs be above your head.

Q: Looking for First Person, Physics based, Puzzle games

Private Beta Notice: this question is a test question for Would video game related question be ontopic? I recently completed Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers, a Puzzle game, that revolves around it's physics engine. The main game mechanic is being able to slice various parts of the tera...

windows linux game puzzle first-person

Although that definition makes it so Finland never has noon...

There are game questions in this one too. AND there is a person with the same avatar as @kalina o.o

@Michel It's kalina

@Michel It IS ... DAMMIT @5pike!

Kevin van der Velden

Bla, I haven't INB4-ed @Arperum in far to long

Not properly at least

11:54 AM

OMG! she's multiplying !!!

@kalina If the world used UTC then different countries would just adjust their schedule around the daylight.

@KevinvanderVelden I think I INB4'd you yesterday even! in Minecraft chat.

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum possibly

@Arperum Good. I hate DST. It's the worst.

It's literally worse than mobile hitler.

DST is pretty retarded

11:55 AM

@Wipqozn Working at night and going to bed in the morning is the best.

@3ventic I prefer going to bed at night and working in the morning.

@Wipqozn But at no more problems with switched up hours though!

Kevin van der Velden

Hey dutch/belgian people, there's a gaming/cosplay convention in Den Bosch this year CC: @Arperum @FAE

@Arperum ...what? "But at no more"?

your I mixed you think sentence up.

@Wipqozn multiple sentences tried, and some were left partially standing.

@Wipqozn Yes, that.

11:57 AM

@Arperum I do that a lot.

@Wipqozn I kinda hope your previous massage was crafted to look like it.

@Arperum Was worry, it don't.

@Wipqozn That one is overkill. My eyes are bleeding now.

@Wipqozn parse error, brain exploded

@Sterno Looking for suggestions on which shops to buy.

12:11 PM

@OrigamiRobot likes sloths, right?

Kevin van der Velden

@3ventic he secretly thinks they are the best and he spends all his time hugging them

When he's not playing minecraft that is

Oooh, Steam store updates

Back after Long TEA

Can someone cast the final close vote on this? It's way too broad.

I would have, but apparently I've already voted

12:19 PM

@MBraedley Nailed it

I don't have enough permissions :(

@5pike ty

@KevinvanderVelden Oh, so never basically?

I don't know why Robotnik never cast a close vote on that, but whatever

Q: Can I get rid of my unwieldy keychain now that I have the Skeleton key?

My larcenous Dark Elf has just received the Skeleton Key from Nocturnal and now I'm wondering if there is any point to keeping my enormous (100+) collection of keys around. Are there any situations where a regular key or lockpick is preferred over the Skeleton Key, or can I get rid of all of thos...

12:23 PM

Anyways, that's all I came in here for. Off to work. And by work I mean streaming the men's ski slopestyle event. And probably curling.

TIL Shirley Temple hasn't been dead for 30 years

@Wipqozn who?

Shirley Temple.

@Wipqozn I was amazed too

Q: Extreme graphics lag outdoors after 2.6 patch

This is a problem I've faced since the latest 2.6 Starfighter patch. The game runs smoothly as long as I'm indoors or in a flashpoint, but on large outdoor maps - Hoth, Belsavis, Hutta, Alderaan - movement is extremely stuttery. It's worse when using a speeder or taxi. Please note that this is gr...

Welcome, intrepid tester! Thank you for signing over your assets to the Protostar Corporation in that Non-Disclosure Agreement you most likely skimmed through. Don't worry, we'll take good care of your family for you.

@Wipqozn People live to be over 50?!?

Kevin van der Velden

@MartinSojka well jeah, just sterno

Oh wait, there's only 1 zero there

IF ALL THE RAINDROPS WERE LEMONDROPS AND GUMDROPS, OH WHAT A RAIN THAT WOULD BEEEEEEEE

@OrigamiRobot imagine one hitting your eye...

@OrigamiRobot it would be like a hail storm

Kevin van der Velden

12:43 PM

@5pike and this is why you should wear a hat

Hat's are awesome

STANDING OUTSIDE WITH MY MOUTH OPEN WIDE

death by gumdrops

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina to be honest, there are probably worse ways to die

@KevinvanderVelden Yeah, but some people ruin them...

Kevin van der Velden

@5pike yeah, why did the stereotypical MRA assholes have to pick fedoras =[

12:46 PM

@KevinvanderVelden Because they are iconic

IF ALL THE SNOWFLAKES WERE CANDY BARS AND MILKSHAKES, OH WHAT A SNOW THAT WOULD BEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

@kalina amazon.com/Haribo-Gummy-Candy-Sugarless-5-Pound/dp/B000EVQWKC

@KevinvanderVelden I don't give a damn who else wears them. I keep my fedora on.

Kevin van der Velden

@MartinSojka same (except when indoors of course!)

@OrigamiRobot so, milkshakes as in, drops of milkshake? Or as in bottled milkshakes?

@KevinvanderVelden Meh. I night be persuaded to take off the sunglasses when indoors though. Sometimes.

Kevin van der Velden

12:48 PM

I don't think even a hat would work against bottles falling at terminal velocity

@OrigamiRobot Oh god, the smell would be terrible.

Did I mention I am sick?

At first, it would be nice, but once it starts to go rancid...

@fredley if I had a bag this size, it would still only last me an hour

@kalina That would be a terrible, terrible mistake

Kevin van der Velden

12:50 PM

@OrigamiRobot and high on flu medicine?

@OrigamiRobot in the head!

@KevinvanderVelden Not even.

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot hmm =[

@fredley well of course, because they're not sour skittles

@kalina amazon.com/review/R3FTHSH0UNRHOH/…

12:51 PM

@KevinvanderVelden Don't worry, that will be tonight.

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot I look forward to it

@fredley HAHAHAHAHA

@fredley ewww -.-

@5pike There are a great many amusing reviews for that item

so descriptive

Kevin van der Velden

12:52 PM

And you can look forward to me having a lot of background noise from my 3D printer... So I'll be pretty quiet

> 100% liquid. Flammable liquid. NAPALM.

@fredley Yeah, but I can imagine this to be true.

Exaggerated, but true...

@5pike I love the warnings on the item as well

Supposedly added after a few reviews gained attention...

also: my car is under water

@kalina Frozen water?

12:56 PM

@kalina Live higher up

no, actual water

I walked over to it 30 minutes ago

@fredley Next time I visit the wholesale, I check the descriptions of the huge bags.

saw it was in a "puddle"

didn't think much of it

yep, that puddle was ankle high

my feet are freezing

@kalina pfff ankle high

@fredley I have heels on.

Kevin van der Velden

12:57 PM

@kalina that's pretty high then

that wasn't star worthy

@kalina The status of your footwear does not alter the depth of 'ankle-high' water

@fredley it does

my footwear dictates how high off the ground my ankles are

@kalina 'It was up to my ankles, in heels' is different from 'the water was ankle high'

please don't make such silly comments

I think you're pretty intelligent most of the times. This isn't one of them.

12:59 PM

@kalina status-norepro

;p

@fredley ...

status-your-face

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley well you should get some high heels then

@kalina I cannot estimate the depth of the water without at least a heel measurement

How many inches?

I don't know, wtf is an inch

@kalina >.<

1:00 PM

I duno, like 2 1/2 maybe

they're not hooker boots

sufficient enough that I feel taller

@kalina Awww pat pat pat

I don't like your patronising tone, robot

makes post on robots.stackexchange.com

"My paper folding robot is giving me attitude"

I'm yours? How sweet!

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley it's a perfectly valid question. What kind of backwards country uses inches as a measurement!

Possibility to create some drama here: Jeff left SE because it's not challenging anymore

@KevinvanderVelden it's fine, it's like 2.5 cm

Kevin van der Velden

1:10 PM

@kalina I know, I just wanted to harp on the insanity of inches

This is one of my favorites comments on Arqade.

Bah! I saw this question linked on stackexchange.com and thought it was on from Cooking site. It's far less interesting on this site... — James McNellis Aug 10 '10 at 22:24

So, it has come to this

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley oh gods no

@fredley how are there so many people?

@KevinvanderVelden HN

Kevin van der Velden

Oh well, time to get some fresh air

Even though the clouds have returned in force >.>

Stupid clouds, with their... cloudiness

1:22 PM

@fredley -1, not flappy doge

@KevinvanderVelden better than human sized puddles

@kalina A minute ago they were ankle sized

I could trip over and drown in that puddle

I think it crashed

my car is sat there like a poor little dog wondering what it did wrong to deserve such treatment

speaking of "poor little dogs"

one of my house mates' dogs guilt tripped me into letting him sleep in my room lastnight

sitting there with its big watery eyes

whining at me through my door

@fredley How does this run?

1:30 PM

it made me feel like a terrible human being, and then he stole a large portion of my bed from me

5

I felt used

suckered into it

No wait it works

No.

Wait it's seems broken now

eh well

I got to 9

I've now played enough Flappy Bird for 9 lifetimes.

@Brant It was handling about 1000 games last time I saw it up

poor server

@kalina At least you only had one dog sharing the bed with you...

that's one more dog than I want sharing my bed with me

@kalina I used to drag all three of mine up with me

because doggies are warm and cuddly

1:36 PM

"doggies" are neither warm or cuddly

especially once they work out that poking your feet with their freezing cold noses allows them to take up even more of the bed

even more so when they misunderstand "fuck off" for "lick my face"

"Shut up or I lick your face"

Whenever I see things I say pinned, I worry everyone will think I pinned it myself.

@Sterno why do you keep pinning things?

@kalina sob

@Michel I can't believe that made it through Area 51

it's done more than just make it through Area 51

1:43 PM

I don't want to sign up to the beta just to read their meta, but I am curious how they think a site built specifically around the types of questions SE tries to avoid is going to work.

Sounds like a good place to earn a billion rep and become a mod though!

@Sterno you should sign up just to read these

Q: Creating own route for troops

How do I set custom route for my troops? eg go to province X and then back.

europa-universalis-4

Oh fine.

I already have 101 rep. I'm so awesome.

@Sterno stackmobile.com/softwarerecs/questions

he wants the meta

1:47 PM

@Sterno stackmobile.com/meta.softwarerecs/questions

@Sterno I always check who pinned something if I'm curious about it.

> meat

lol?

@badp This is a neat trick. I wish I'd known it 3 minutes ago!

as somebody with enough reputation to upvote, you should find all posts by that user "Flyk" and upvote them

;)

@Arperum Cool, I didn't know it showed that.

I've learned two things in the span of two minutes!

1:48 PM

steady on

you're probably about to forget your wife's birthday

@kalina Do you actually believe in this site or do you just want a front row seat?

@Sterno I've had this conversation far too many times recently

If it's possible to make it work, then we'll make it work

I'm not looking for a dissertation.

If it succeeds it will become a migration target for the entire network

If it fails, we can hold up our hands to the next person who says "hey lets do a recommendations website/why are recommendations off topic" and actually say that we have tried

and that it just didn't work

...probably not for the entire network..

1:50 PM

either way, I see this site as a positive

@3ventic "can you recommend to me <some software> to do <these things>" is pretty much a question that could be asked on any site in the network

I thought that Tim Post said the winning condition for the site is to re-instate software rec under SO, SU and pals, and then close down.

@badp I haven't seen that post

I... erm... hmmm

I mean, I've seen Tim Post

but not the answer in which he posted that statement

or comment

or question

@Sterno In the history of the message, but only when it's actively pinned.

Q: Laying some ground rules for Software Recommendations

Proposal: Software Recommendations We're going to let this site go ahead, and see what you all can do with it. While we discussed the topic, we had to take some time to identify our chief concerns with recommendation & shopping type questions. The number one problem that we agreed upon was prett...

> The ultimate form of success for this community might ultimately be rejoining larger, established sites.

@badp has the word "might" in it

that's less definitive than your statement

1:57 PM

I am not as good at diplomacy

I'm not saying anything. :p
