compared to more specialized online stores
 
@BenBrocka I think my wife may have bought me a bogus motherboard O.o
 
@badp I would assume UK has the best prices
intel stock cooler is AWFUL, replace it
 
@BenBrocka um, it'd be interesting to see if I come up ahead of shipping costs
I remember looking at Amazon's shipping costs for a Chromebook and they seemed... reasonable.
 
@badp wouldn't it be better to get a slightly more powerful PSU in case you want to upgrade in future?

Q: What's the meaning of all this?

BatophobiaWhile playing Arkham Origins, I stumbled on this code. Unfortunately, I have completely forgotten where I was at in the game so I cannot provide the location that this screenshot was taken at.

Q: Living items in storage, will they stay there?

user73792I just married Ysolda on Skyrim and now I am living in her place, if I store my items in the chests there will they stay there?

 
9:03 PM
@Chippies blank stare
I honestly don't know how much I would want to overshoot by.
 
@badp personally, I'd look at 500w, just because they're not much of an increase in price (could be different in your area)
 
I am loving this build
 
@badp Do those prices include taxes? The GPU alone is close to the same price as mine (both GTX 760s) after S&H + taxes.
 
does anyone know anything baout MSI motherboards?
 
Thinking about upgrading to T2
 
9:05 PM
@MBraedley Yes, VAT is included.
 
@MBraedley Europeans include VAT in price shown usually
 
@Ender They're no worse than most others.
 
According to logicalincrements.com I should be able to get the GTX 760 for 198€, not €234.12
 
@MBraedley My specific model is P67A-S40 and the website doesnt even list it, I found a link to a forum that mentions it and their conversation doesn't seem very promising about it's quality
 
@Chippies Okay, that brings the prices somewhat in line, but it still seems a bit expensive for the entire build.
 
9:06 PM
@badp do you have any local online computer stores where you can get better priced deals?
 
@badp you should be able to get at least 600W for about that same price "adjusted" to euros
 
@MBraedley I'd blame Amazon
 
500-600 should be plenty safe and you're generally not talking a significant price increase until about 1000W
 
I recently bought a GTX 750Ti for wife's PC for 169$ before tax and shipping, on Amazon same card was 230$
 
@MBraedley further more for some reason my Quad i5 doesnt seem to fit in it, and it should.
 
9:08 PM
@Chippies Who knows? Logical Increments suggests a couple other sites, but I'm mostly hoping that PCPartsPicker adds the relevant site scrapers so I don't have to scour five sites on dozens of the same part.
 
@Chippies amazon is usually pretty competetive
 
@BenBrocka not in Canada
 
Oh, hey. +% to <element> doesn't seem to currently apply to weapons with that element.
 
Because that sounds as fun and exciting as a day hospital.
 
That's a bug, though, so I should be getting a nice damage boost soon.
 
9:09 PM
Does anyone else think the i5 is a little overpriced? That's almost what I'd expect to pay in $CDN
 
@Chippies oh, yeah, entirely possible
 
@Frank Where do you see +% to element?
 
@OrigamiRobot The "+x% to <element> skills" flavor text.
 
@Frank Yes, skills.
That's not the same thing.
 
@OrigamiRobot Everything is a skill.

Q: What is the name of this game - mutants growing and evolving, released around 2001-2002?

ERJANIt was a 3d game released around 2000-2002. I remember you start on some alien planet and you can choose between 4 characters - generic mutants who collect 'dna' and you can choose what body parts to grow, so they can jump higher, grow stronger etc. it may have had words like 'evolvo' , 'x evol...

 
Except straight up punching something.
 
@MBraedley I generally assume anything electronic converts $ to euros 1:1 because lots of companies do that anyway regardless of conversion rate
 
Which is literally not possible, I don't think.
 
Yes but your weapon element has no effect on what element a skill is.
 
9:12 PM
@OrigamiRobot Unless it's Physical.
Then it should take the weapon element.
 
@Frank And it used to apply to physical skills based on weapon type and they hotfixed that away.
 
@BenBrocka No, it's actually pretty close to what I'd pay. I just thought the i5s would be a bit cheaper than that.
 
@OrigamiRobot Source?
 
So it's obviously not intended to work that way
 
Because what I'm reading is that it not being applied is a bug.
 
9:13 PM
@Frank it's possible and required for "Punch Diablo" achievement
 
@MBraedley high end ones are $220 IIRC
 
> Skills that deal Physical damage should no longer benefit from items that increase elemental skill damage.
 
@OrigamiRobot That's not a source.
 
@Frank It's in the same list as all the other hotfixes. I can't link to that exact line.
 
Oh, wait. I'm reading this wrong. It's the interaction between +% Damage affixes, and elemental affixes.
 
9:16 PM
Would You Like to See a HD Remaster for Final Fantasy Type-0? Yes? No? Post your thoughts! http://squareportal.net/2014/04/06/voting-would-you-like-to-see-a-hd-remaster-for-final-fantasy-type-0/ http://t.co/JniREkp9jU
"would you like an HD remaster of that game we never released in your Tier 2 hemisphere anyway?"
 
@Frank Yes, %Damage only applies to "black damage"
Whether or not that's a bug, I have no idea.
 
So wait, then. I thought Physical skills used whatever element was on your weapons, and therefore focusing on a single element (and Physical) was to your benefit.
If Physical skills don't do that, it's just another element.
 
@Frank Physical is just another element.
There are items that give bonuses to physical skills.
 
So the actual element on a weapon is utterly useless, then.

Q: When is Clan Wars being released? How do some people already have access to it?

Izaya OriharaThey keep chanting about how Clan Wars is coming out, but when will it be released? Also, some Clash of Clans Youtubers already have access to Clan Wars, so I was wondering how they got it.

 
9:21 PM
I don't know if they also changed the way physical skills count daamge.
It used to be a percentage of physical and whatever element you had on your weapon
If they didn't change that, then having an element is actually detrimental if you're going for a physical build.
I mean, it's already a detriment due to the %damage bug.
TMK, that bug has been around for a long time.
 
On a second thought I might be grabbing an emulator.
 
Do you guys like me?
 
(Guess who hasn't stumbled on a save point yet?)
@GnomeSlice I do not like you when you ask people if they like you.
 
@badp So, no.
 
Last time you made a strawpoll on the topic, and that was pretty sad.
@GnomeSlice Not right now.
 
9:27 PM
@badp I did?
 
@badp Does that look like a serious poll to you lol
 
I DON'T KNOW

Q: Can I keep a limit break for later?

badpI have filled up my limit break. How exciting! Flashy colors! I can now deal serious damage! Wow! ...but I'd rather not use it on that enemy that would go down regardless. In particular the menu screen speaks about multiple "limit break levels," so it seems that it should be possible to save t...

 
@RedRiderX I found the blacksmith. He's in the castle town, not default village.
Along with the tavern which lets you swap people out from your team.
 
9:29 PM
Unskippable cutscene++
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Why do you ask this? It is unlikely to get you a real answer, as it is unlikely people will admit to your face in a public chat, and asking us relatively regularly is only likely going to annoy more people can cause them to not like you.
 
Why would you not admit to somebody that you like them to their face
What's awkward about that
 
@GnomeSlice Did you and @RedRiderX start Pen and Paper Knights?
 
I like you guys
@SaintWacko Yes.
I got it in the humble thing, have had my eye on it for a while now.
 
@GnomeSlice Fun game :)
 
9:31 PM
I'm enjoying it.
 
I've got two games running, one on pc, one on my phone
 
I have been playing it on my tablet.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice It is a random social pressure, and out of nowhere.
 
Although I fooled with the Steam version last night for a while while doing something else.
 
user15026
Having to make public decisions like that is terrible.
 
9:32 PM
@GnomeSlice when people ask if I like them, it gives me a reason to be either sarcastic or just temporarily not like them :x
 
@GnomeSlice If you need a little bit of a pick-me-up, we can easily do better than say "Yes Gnomie of course we likey you."
 
it's the same thing as fishing for compliments, imho
 
user15026
@Chippies Pretty much this.
 
I like fishing for compliments. It gets me compliments.
 
@GnomeSlice or it gets you disappointment
 
user15026
9:33 PM
In general, the more a person seems to be actively seeking outside validation of their character, the more pissed off I get, and the more likely I am to actively begin to dislike them.
 
@Chippies I already have disappointment
 
relevant
 
@badp ahahahahaha what the hell
 
Unless it's in the form of "Do you like me check yes, no or maybe", asking people if they like you is one of the more annoying things in the world.
If it is the the aforementioned form, it's either nostalgic and cute or just annoying.
 
9:40 PM
All these dorito jokes make me ashamed to like doritos :(
I can never buy doritos anymore for fear of people thinking I'm a gamebro
 
@OrigamiRobot Don't, doritos are awesome.
Also, asking people if they like is one of the most annoying, awkward, and unlikable things you can do.
And all that is magnified when you do it to a large group.
 
Being @Wipqozn is another unlikable thing you can do.
4
 
@OrigamiRobot Yeah, that guy's a jerk.
 
@Wipqozn better star that so people wont think you starred it
 
@OrigamiRobot uh...
I'm out of stars
yes, that's it.
 
9:42 PM
It's ok, I'll star it for you so you wont be alone.
Wait...
 
I can't eat doritos, it makes me sad. eating cool ranch doritos around me is cruel.
 
@OrigamiRobot If only you were a room owner. Then you could pin it and unpin it, thus adding a star.
 
Nacho Cheese is the only kind of Doritos for me.
@Wipqozn Good plan.
 
@Wipqozn I'll star it for you, but only if you give me compliments. And they better not sound forced.
 
@RonanForman What about strained?
 
9:44 PM
@RonanForman you are the bestest bestie that ever bested.
 
@OrigamiRobot Depends on the compliment.
 
@RonanForman You're a nice guy and a good artist. It's a shame you're not as active in chat as much as you used to be, and your drawings are missed.
6
 
@RonanForman hhhhhhhhrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggg YOU SMELL NICE AND YOUR PARENTS ARE PROUD OF YOU
 
@Wipqozn Holy crap! Was that sincere? I was expecting something more along the lines of @OrigamiRobot or @agent86.
 
@OrigamiRobot This sounds creepy in ways I didn't even want to think.
 
9:45 PM
@RonanForman I starred it, for great truth.
 
@RonanForman I was being sincere :(
 
Also for the record, I wish I was in chat more often.
 
@Arperum I can compliment you too if you'd like.
 
I hate when my wife does that thing where she says "well, you don't have to come to the grocery store with me", which actually means "you absolutely must come to the grocery store with me"
 
@OrigamiRobot I'm scared now.
 
9:47 PM
@RonanForman Yes.
I wasn't going to risk telling a lie when their are stars on the line!
Stars are serious business.
 
Why are you talking about somebody else
=P
 
@Arperum nnnnnnnnrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggg YOU HAVE NICE HAIR AND ANIMALS ARE NOT SCARED IN YOUR PRESENCE EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT DOMESTICATED
 
user15026
@Chippies People should just say what tehy mean!
 
@OrigamiRobot Do me next!
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot I am trying to imagine that noise in my head and it is just making me laugh. A lot.
 
user15026
9:49 PM
@GnomeSlice I suspect the asking is not gonig to help
 
I blame uni, I have less introverted friends there who want me to spend time with me.
 
@AshleyNunn I do that. My x really liked that, since when he asked me what Ithought of clothes she was thinking of buying I'd give her an honest opinion.
 
They're the worst.
 
@AshleyNunn He can't see it anyway. =]
 
@AshleyNunn that's not how women work!
 
user15026
9:49 PM
@Wipqozn I like that in a person. :)
 
you should know better!
 
@Wipqozn you said he and she, which one?
 
user15026
@Chippies Are you saying I am not a lady?
 
@GnomeSlice It's a mystery!
 
@Wipqozn :o
 
9:50 PM
@OrigamiRobot You know, I've had multiple complements about my hair in real life (as in multiple woman being jealous about it) And I have some basic affinity with animals...
 
@AshleyNunn I am saying that you should know how a mind of a woman works!
 
Is he gay, straight, a unicorn?!! WHO KNOWS!
 
That's plain creepy.
 
user15026
@Chippies giggles I know how mine works, and I suspect it is abnormal :P
 
@Arperum You're welcome.
 
9:50 PM
@Wipqozn Wait.. alternating pronouns? Is your x @GraceNote?
 
user15026
@Wipqozn I wanna be a unicorn~
 
@RonanForman I was waiting for someone to make that joke. I am glad it didn't take long.
 
I HAVE ACHIEVED ANOTHER DIABLO MILESTONE!
 
@RonanForman DATA ACCEPTED
 
@Chippies impressed
> Not copyright infringement intended.
From the description of a complete album someone threw on Youtube...
 
9:54 PM
@Wipqozn Too many new users around, not knowing the nuances of @GraceNote's gender.
 
user15026
A friend of mine just posted a link to facebook that is a tutorial on how to represent various bits of human genitalia....by making them with balloons.

@BenBrocka No kidding
 
@AshleyNunn You should post it in chat.
 
user15026
I don't want to get anyone in trouble!

Dominic De CocoThere is a blacksmith in Sunset Castle, which is the first place to the north of Default Village.

It also increases the maximum level to which the blacksmith can impr...

 
@RedRiderX Yeah, that. I didn't know you could mine the rocks until I did it by accident on the desktop version.

Q: what is the best troop in COC (clash of clans)

Eric ChenWhat could the wisest troop in clash of clans be. I always have a hard time thinking about which troop does a lot of damage, has high hitpoints, moves quickly, and cost little elixir.

 
@LessPop_MoreFizz So... people get angry because they suck?
 
@Yuki Basically yes.
I know that all of my murder sprees came after a prolonged battletoads session.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Gee, what afucking surprise. facedesk
 
@AshleyNunn You say this like it's not actually a big deal, but it really honestly, actually kind of is. Not so much because the result isn't intuitive (because it is), but because actually having data like this is super super important.
 
10:15 PM
By the by, I like that these guys are looking at gameplay mechanics rather than doing a generalization on all video games.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz I never said or didn't say anything about the bigness of the deal of the data being actually discovered, actually. I am just saying that is no fucking surprise to me that it has nothing to do with the violent content.
 
user15026
Please do not read more into my statements than is there, please.
 
@Unionhawk The album is confusing as fuck too. It's from a Russian band, and and now suddenly there is a Dutch band playing...
I checked the song and it seems it's a guest vocal thing. Well, actually six guest vocalists. From six different countries. All singing in there native tongue.

10:19 PM
@AshleyNunn My tongue is bleeding. I'll see you all later.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz ...oh my. :(
 
@AshleyNunn Proverbial. Not literal.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh. Okay. I was worried for a second, because like a spontaneous tongue bleed sounded slightly concerning.
 
Guys, I'm worried about Arya. She's not the sweet, lovable little girl I remember.

cc @spugsley @StrixVaria @OrigamiRobot @Sterno @otherD3players
Torment 2 rifts have +21% chance of legendaries.
And it only gets sillier from there.
 
@MBraedley Oh, you sweet winter child, the things that are yet to come!
assuming you haven't read the books
which I assume you haven't
 
@Frank You mean 65%
Also that's useless since we don't know the base chance.
 
@Wipqozn you would be correct in that assumption.
 
I got my mod candidacy bonus prize package! It came with the old site T-Shirt design (which I already had) and 3 of the old site logo stickers (which I already had) and no new site design things at all!
 
@OrigamiRobot Compared to Torment 1
@OrigamiRobot It's still comparable. We don't know the base chance, but +65% is +65%.
 
10:28 PM
That's not what +21% means
 
Yeah, it's only a 15% (give or take) increase over T1
 
@StrixVaria Only prize I ever from from SE was during the SuperUser Win8 competition. I won a t-shirt with the SU logo on it. :D
 
man, what a jerk.
declaring war on me
 
10:54 PM
@Wipqozn I was going to comment on this, then I forgot what this was. Hold up for a second, please.
No, that's clearly not what I wanted to comment upon.
I must have been tricked by the foul @Wipqozn.
 
I'm a tricky one.
 
But are you foul?
 
hmmm...
I'm not sure!
I do like mornings, which @OrigamiRobot probably thinks makes me a monster. Monsters are pretty foul.
 
@Chippies Just FYI I often sing your name randomly. I was just doing it in the kitchen. Chippies is the best name.
I dance and sing: "Chippies! Chippppppiesssss! Chippiiiiiessssssssss! Chippies!"
also I want to get a dog and name it Chippies but @IanPugsley won't let me
 
@spugsley Damn that @IanPugsley!
He's like the second worst.
To @Wipqozn of course.
 
11:01 PM
@spugsley Did you hear the fantastic news?
 
@Wipqozn ....no
 
@Wipqozn .....FUCKING GOATS
@Wipqozn I WILL NEVER FUCKING PLAY A GOAT
NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
 
I'm starting to suspet you dislike goats.
Perhaps even more thna you dislike children!

Q: What is the correct procedure for backup up and restore of your local Minecraft files?

zenoI have a general problem with my Windows 8 PC that requires I wipe and reinstall Windows. What is the correct procedure for backing up my minecraft saves and mods and then restoring them on a clean Windows 8 again?

 
11:05 PM
@AshleyNunn Yeah cats can do that
Or not, as the case may be
 
btw the tutorial system in the pc version of FF7 is completely useless, do not waste your time with it.
To advance prompts you can press any key, but all the keys autofire really fast, so you can't help skipping all the messages accidentally
 
@AshleyNunn I feel ya.
@badp I didn't even know it hat tutorials. <_<
 
The Materials one is hard to miss.
 
I am happy.
Mostly.
 
Why does 676 seem low to me for a helm?

@AshleyNunn Length at the bottom. Although it also counts carriage returns.

@MBraedley That I don't know./

@spugsley surprisingly, you're not the first person that has told me that...
 
11:28 PM
@Chippies That you'd make a good dog?
 
Taskbar mouse-overs are broken on Win8, and it's starting to annoy me.
 
@MBraedley What should it be doing?
 
@RonanForman the singing part
 
@RonanForman It should be deselecting the moused-over item. I think it has something to do with touch.
 
@MBraedley deselecting? in taskbar? I don't think I understand exactly what you want it to do, because it sounds nothing like what it usually does
 
@Chippies Notice how putty is still selected? I moved the mouse away from that well before taking the screenshot
 
@MBraedley I vaguely remember having such a problem long ago
I don't really remember how I fixed it tho :x
or what caused it...
 
user15026
I do not understand people who post ads to kijiji that are like "I want money to support my family please hire me"....does that even work?
 
Can I completely disable all touch interface stuff?
 
@MBraedley are you on Win8 or 8.1?
 
11:33 PM
@Chippies 8.1
 
@MBraedley right click on taskbar and properties > navigation, you can disable some stuff there
there are registry hacks you can do to disable stuff completely, but I can't really help you with that, since I haven't had the need to do it
 
@MBraedley I get this on Windows 7 on four computers.
 
disabling charms should get rid of a lot of issues tho

@Chippies ... I don't know why but from the thumbnail, I read that as "She wants the (shocked face emoticon)".
 
@Yuki Yep! That's how I feel about handwritten D:'s
they all look too much like the emoticon
 
11:45 PM
@Chippies Yeah, it seems like the only time I instinctually think "drive letter" is with computer text.
I really need to get D3 on my laptop.
Of course, that would kinda screw with trying to study at school.
