3ventic

@Yuki haven't got to him yet

Yuki

@3ventic Well, he's an annoying fight. Massive damage (his normal attacks half-life me) and he has a lot of fire damage.

Which because I don't have a lot of fire resist right now.

Not to mention one of his openings is actually a trap.

3ventic

so his normal attacks are probably a one hit kill against me

Yuki

When he shoots in the air and stabs down, he's immobilized for a few seconds. Don't get close to try to take advantage though because he occasionally releases an AoE that hits really, really hard.

@3ventic What's your health?

3ventic

my character is pretty much a glass cannon

Yuki

05:13

Smelter Demon's not as hard if you're a caster.

3ventic

and fails at that

Yuki

Annoying as f--k on a melee character though.

3ventic

full melee

Yuki

Especially since he has a fire aura, which deals small amounts of damage constantly while you're in melee range.

The thing is, I should have beaten him by now.

I've killed him numerous times helping other people out as a Sunbro.

I've dodge-rolled countless fights perfectly (and my Adapatability is terrible, so I don't have a lot of i-frames to work with) but I get taken to the cleaners whenever I do my own fight.

3ventic

I haven't even found the sunbro covenant yet hah

FEichinger

What is this? Game talk on the Bridge? Shame on you!

3ventic

I'm in harvest valley right now

Yuki

@3ventic Have you found the windmill?

3ventic

nop

Yuki

Haaave you found the second bonfire?

3ventic

yes

Yuki

05:18

The Mines bonfire, right?

3ventic

uhm

Unionhawk

@FEichinger Yeah! Where's the drama? SHAME

3ventic

it's the bonfire right after the wooden gate you need to lift to continue

Yuki

@3ventic Yeah, it's that one.

Well, go through the wooden gate to the next area.

And take the entrance on the right.

3ventic

the next area is really annoying

Yuki

05:20

The next area should just be an empty space with a couple of holes.

3ventic

the fatties that look like Pudge are.. argh

well, yeah

Yuki

If you find yourself in a place with four of them, you went the wrong way.

It's on the side opposite of that one.

3ventic

that's where I died last and ragequit

Yuki

You should be in an area with a bridge and a fat undead wielding a hammer.

3ventic

4 of them when I have no shield? No way

Yuki

05:21

@3ventic The key is to kite them and have ranged weapons.

Magic is friggin' OP in DaS2.

3ventic

Melee character

I have a bow to deal with annoying enemies though

Yuki

@3ventic Yeah, same here. I ended up caving and leveled Faith earlier than I had planned.

Anyways, don't try to block the hammer dudes.

3ventic

usually when I find myself needing ranged attacks, it's time to summon someone

Yuki

Each attack will consume a lot of stamina.

Also, watch your dodges because his vertical slam attack has a bit of AoE on it.

Anyways, after you kill him, walk up to the windmill but don't go in.

You should aggro another fat undead hammer dude.

Kill him and look to the left of the windmill entrance.

There should be a path.

Go down it but watch out. There's one of those sickle-wielding fatties you were talking about earlier. Fight's annoying because it's in a tight corridor.

After that, you should find the place to join up with the Sunbros.

3ventic

One of them is not an issue, I can kill them before they can get their first attack off most of the time

Yuki

05:27

@3ventic It's annoying when your attacks are mostly horizontal. The walls cut you off from doing any damage.

But if you use thrusting or vertical attacks, you should be fine.

3ventic

I can always switch between vertical and horizontal by changing my weapon

Is soul caliber 4 the 4th or 5th in the series?

Unionhawk

@3ventic Wikipedia said 5

3ventic

Wikipedia also said 4

Unionhawk

05:37

-.-

3ventic

but in a different language

so..

Unionhawk

Welp

4 makes more sense, but I don't know that Namco are a developer in the business of making sense.

3ventic

And then there's this, which would make it the 6th...

Unionhawk

@3ventic I think they're not counting Soulcaliber Legends in the count of 5, since it indicates that is a spin-off. Or something.

3ventic

oh right

I guess 5th is what we'll go with

Unionhawk

05:42

Wait... Miami has a hotel at the airport? o_O

FEichinger

Airports usually have hotels in the vicinity.

Unionhawk

No, like, in the airport. Concourse E.

3ventic

Yeah?

FEichinger

Then say "in".

3ventic

Why split it off to a separate building when you can have it all in one?

FEichinger

05:44

That, too.

Aaanyway, gtg.

Unionhawk

This is the first time I have ever heard of such things. Most airport hotels I have encountered are about 5 minutes in a shuttle away, and not related in any way to the airport, other than by proximity.

But I'm going to assume that this is a slightly more common thing in Europe, I guess.

Conclusion: Europe is weird QED.

(note: that is the default conclusion regardless)

@Unionhawk I swear that IAH (Bush Intercontinental) has a hotel in one of the terminals.

Yeah, there's a Marriott that's connected to one of the terminals. Dining room apparently opens into the terminal.

Q: Does Irelia's Q apply W effects?

W's passive is to get a small amount of health points per autoattack. If I activate it, gets twice and also applies some true damage. Since Irelia's Q (Bladesurge) applies on-hit effects, will also apply W effects, passive or active?

I have two packages I ordered on Friday that have yet to be acknowledged by the transport company. One's in the UK and another's in Belgium. The expected delivery day is tomorrow

I don't think all of these things can be true at the same time

Arperum

@badp Rest assured that they aren't.

If something is said to be in Belgium for transport, expect to wait some more...

badp

Transient problems with the traffic?

Lil is only barely in Belgium :P

Arperum

@badp Belgium tends to be a badly organised pile of confusion. This also goes for traffic.

badp

You're talking with an Italian

Arperum

@badp Isn't Lille France?

badp

"Lil", verbatim

Google Maps says it's in Belgium

@JourneymanGeek I don't trust anyone or anything Italian

... oh, hey @badp!

badp

Get them a mechanical timer, one of those that ring a minute short

Silently

Journeyman Geek

08:42

@badp: they cook it till it slightly overdone. then heat it with other stuff again.

naw, they LIKE it that way

I once made pasta properly and they were like 'needs more cooking'

badp

Then when you're around set the mechanical timer another minute short

Journeyman Geek

I don't use a timer, I use a fork

Kevin van der Velden

@JourneymanGeek horrible, evil people

badp

@jou are they Dutch, or of Dutch origins?

Journeyman Geek

(ok, I do use a frying pan to cook it)

naw, Indian

Kevin van der Velden

08:43

@JourneymanGeek no way, cooking food until it's done, instead of until a fixed number of minutes has passed. The horror :o

badp

CLOSE ENOUGH

Journeyman Geek

and I tend to do salt and oil the water quite heavily

even if its supposedly pointless

badp

Wait what

Journeyman Geek

can't get it right if I don't.

badp

Oil the water?

Wat

Journeyman Geek

08:44

you do add some oil yes?

badp

Wat wat wat

Watwatwatwatwatwatwatwat

Journeyman Geek

>_>

badp

Oil and water don't even mix

5pike

@JourneymanGeek You shouldn't. The sauce won't stick

Journeyman Geek

MY LIFE IS A LIE

you get a THIN coat of oil as you drain it

badp

08:44

Do you also oil the pasta after you dry it?

Journeyman Geek

nope

I don't need to

badp

Uh I guess that is not useless

Journeyman Geek

and I don't cool it down, I remove it undercooked, and let it finish cooking in the leftover heat

badp

It still gets a wat. I never heard about this

5pike

@JourneymanGeek Yeah, and when you add sauce it won't stick to the pasta

Journeyman Geek

08:45

@5pike: never had issues with it

5pike

which sucks

Journeyman Geek

@5pike how much oil do you add?

Its just about a tablespoon

5pike

@JourneymanGeek Not much, but it was still to much

So, I don't use oil anymore.

Journeyman Geek

how do you keep it from sticking o0

5pike

@JourneymanGeek water

Journeyman Geek

08:47

o0

badp

It seems that people add oil to the boiling water when cooking fresh pasta so it doesn't stick to the pot

Journeyman Geek

>_>

I've ALWAYS done that with dried pasta

5pike

@badp I never had pasta stick to the pot, ever.

Blem

@badp I have seen many do that, not sure if it actually help

Journeyman Geek

;p

Blem

08:48

Thought it was so it doesn't stick to each other

badp

@5pike well sometimes it does happen if you don't stir a lot

but then it's trivial to detach

@journey it might still make sense if you want very little oil on your pasta?

5pike

@badp I don't stir much and I don't use a coated pot - no pasta ever got stuck.

Journeyman Geek

@badp: oh, I often add some later. The idea is that I ABSOLUTELY do not want my pasta to cool down until my sauce is ready

and I want the residual heat to cook the pasta a bit more

then I stir everything together

(quite the opposite of how I cook instant noodles really)

badp

Anyway, @jou, when I was in Britain for a week, it was a group of three Italians in a Chinese house

We tried cooking some pasta one day

Journeyman Geek

@arp I had honestly no complaints in either Amsterdam and Munich with Barilla and Bertolli products

5pike

@RifazNahiyan Sure, but don't talk about games

Journeyman Geek

I've actually done it completely from scratch

Rifaz Nahiyan

woot! :D

badp

Uh. Boil water. Add pasta. Salt. Stir a little. Wait for the suggested number of minutes; I prefer to wait one minute shorter; try it: if it is al dente (to the teeth, literally) you should feel the pasta snap softly as you bite it; when satisfied dry

Journeyman Geek

... "indicated number of minutes"?

lol

"Stab it with a fork. break it apart, realise its under-undercooked. Wait. Stab another one with a fork. repeat. Find its perfect. Drain"

I hate it. Its unscientific, but repeatable, which makes it science.

Also, stabby.

5pike

09:01

@badp I throw the pasta onto a kitchen counter - if it sticks, it's perfect (usually).

Journeyman Geek

lol

THATS SPAGHETTI.

badp

@jou while I'm also okay with repeated trials (I eat more pasta sooner) it's usually a waste :P

5pike

Yeah, spaghetti

Journeyman Geek

@badp: I always end up doing it twice.

5pike

Trying it is much better, but throwing is more fun.

So I have a 'modem router,' and I read that dd-wrt or open-wrt does not support my model. I want to redirect pages, for example when I go to dropbox.com I want it redirected to dropbox.com/login.... any ways for doing that?

badp

I could do it several times :P

Journeyman Geek

@RifazNahiyan: hmm, run a proxy server of some sort locally, set it to do that, then point everything at the proxy server?

Kevin van der Velden

@JourneymanGeek and/or transparent proxy it

Journeyman Geek

though

badp

09:03

If you don't mind the extra cleaning, my father suggests that you slightly "taint" the boiling water with the sauce. Like, if you need to stir both your home made sauce and your pot of pasta, you can use the same wooden spoon thing for both

Journeyman Geek

redirecting a domain name to a url sounds messy

@badp: or cook the sauce, put it aside, and reuse the pot

badp

He says that it unites the flavours of both

5pike

@JourneymanGeek Couldn't you just edit your hosts file?

Journeyman Geek

(which I do, in reverse, to save on cleaning)

badp

I'm not sure how much truth there is to it

Journeyman Geek

09:04

@5pike: only if he's doing it ip address -> domain name

@badp: if the flavours are strong yeah

Kevin van der Velden

@JourneymanGeek (wrong way around, domain -> ip)

Journeyman Geek

I used to throw in mushroom stems when cooking noodles to get the flavour

Rifaz Nahiyan

which suggestion do I go for... ? o.o

badp

@rifaz sounds like you just need better bookmarks

Journeyman Geek

yeah, that. Sorry. I'm talking about pasta and internet ;p

@RifazNahiyan: Whichever works, You're probably going to need to do a little research and testing

Rifaz Nahiyan

09:05

I can do that using a bookmark, @badp

Journeyman Geek

@RifazNahiyan: might want to take a look at untangle as well

Arperum

@JourneymanGeek The internet is just some pile of spaghetticode, so it's related.

Rifaz Nahiyan

5pike

@badp The bane is a terrible teacher.

badp

The very simple very sensible idea that if there is more than a letter you should pronounce it harder!

Say, unlike Mary and marry

I still can't wrap my head around those being homophones

But that should be clear.
