@Lazers Ooooooooff topiiiiiiiiiiiic.
@Chippies I'm interested in seeing what comes out of legendary gems.
@Frank I sort of want to join PTR, but I sort of don't and I can't decide :(
@Chippies Binary choices like that, I flip a coin.
@Frank that... requires finding a coin...
00:05
@Chippies Should be in fairly common supply, somewhere upon your person.
dammit! there's one on my desk, now I have no excuse
shit, I told wife about the PTR, flipped a coin, coin decided I shouldn't do it
wife is now nagging me to join PTR
@Frank YOU MADE THIS WORSE!
Wife > coin
Or alternatively, you can make HER join the PTR.
wow, I asked her if she'd join with me and she was all like "but mario kart and minecraft!!!"
sigh
eh, I suppose I can join
@Chippies Plan: Join the PTR, and make it seem like the most awesomest thing ever.
Then she would join, and problem is solved!
user15026
Man, Battleblock Theater makes me curse a lot. In a good way :)
00:13
blah, need another 25gb of free space for it
I suppose I can install on the HDD instead of SSD...
@AshleyNunn so, dancing is now an eSport?
perhaps we should make Rocksmith into an eSport as well
@Chippies I'd win that.
@Frank except there's nothing "e" about it
00:17
@GraceNote gawsh, that's horrible
@Chippies Turtle bacon? That actually sounds pretty good.
cc @Wipqozn
@GraceNote Everytime these are posted I'm filled with disgust.
> Wizard
p1_Wand_norm_unique_01 (Name still TBD)
New Wand
Removes the cooldown of Teleport
Teleport now costs 25 Arcane Power
@Frank well, when you put it that way...
I hate bacon, and wrapping them around overcooked hotdogs is even worse.
00:19
That's awesome, I just wish it wasn't a wand
I love bacon, but wrapping it around hotdogs...
I was lied to, the PTR is only 10gb, not 25gb... I could've installed it on SSD :/

A: LAN Minecraft requires all players to have an account?

MinecrafterIt's a great thing that mojang has thought about when their login servers die. This feature can also be used to play without premium. On the server side, the only thing you have to do to disable the verification of premium accounts is putting the server in offline mode, by editing the server.prop...

doesn't this technically count as "piracy"?
just wondering, because everyone seems to be bashing the other guy (I didn't see the original answer) for condoning piracy while totally ignoring the other guy
user15026
@Chippies I left that alone because I had no idea what any of it meant
@AshleyNunn well, it basically tells you how to use a single copy by multiple people at the same time
which is no different from downloading one from torrents, if you ask me
user15026
It felt like it was kinda piracy-ish but I am not entirely sure of what it is doing or how, so I didn't want to like jump on it if I couldn't explain why it was bad when asked.
I don't necessarily say it's bad or anything
just wondering why the other guy got bashed so hard, while this one gets totally ignored :)
user15026
00:28
See, I know you can do some junk with editing on servers, but I don't know a lot about it and I don't know the whole bit of how it works.
user15026
@Chippies The other guy was very clearly piracy, this one is more grey, I think?
servers have an "offline" mode, which allows people to join without having their name checked if it's legit
well, it's gray and I don't know what the other guy said, so yeah
user15026
Okay, no, now that I look, I think they are saying trhe same thing
user15026
just one guy used the word "cracked" which is a flag, and this guy didn't
user15026
so it sounded more legit
user15026
00:30
I mean part of me is like "why have an offline mode if people can mess with crap like this" but part of me is like "you likely are not supposed to use it like that, considering they want you to login"
cracked minecraft isn't actually "cracked", it just uses a launcher to bypass authentification
and the "gray" post tells to use launcher as well
user15026
yeah, I think they are saying the same tihng
user15026
I don't like either one.
user15026
Thanks for the heads up, and being my rubber duck
:)
@AshleyNunn I'll take that as a compliment? :P
user15026
00:31
@Chippies lol it is :)
that's a new expression in my vocab
user15026
I picked it up from programmers - it's something about when you have an issue you talk it out to something, like a rubber duck on your desk, and then you can usually just figure it out by explaining it to something else
I'm trying to understand the relation, but I can't
or maybe I do, sort of
well, I understand the expression now, yay, I'm smarter
user15026
You basically let me talk out my issues with the post
user15026
And in doing so, I figured out what to do and did it
00:36
:)
your programmers must have some technologically advanced rubber ducks!
user15026
@Chippies laughs I usually talk stuff out with my cat, but you are much more interesting.
@AshleyNunn heh, I'm getting showered in compliments tonight
user15026
@Unionhawk I could have used that gif a few times at work today :P
I suppose I'll go see what's the fuss about in Diablo PTR
oh yay, servers are busy, 2 minute queue... and the timer doesn't go down
lol the counter actually went up
00:44
Yay for rubber ducking!

Q: Cannot login to saintsrow.com

oStarZSo when I try to log in to the site nothing happens. I need it to populate my list of downloadable characters. I can log in the game but not in the browser. So when I go to the site from googling it and i go to a page that is not the homepage it says im logged in.

@Frank I've been in a 1 minute 42 second queque for the past 6 minutes and the estimated wait increased to 1 minute 48 seconds. I should NOT have listened to you
okay, you got lucky, I got in the game before I started pushing more blame on you
@Cippies Blah, blah. Blame your wife. :P
Nitronic Rush is gonna be streamed for SGDQ. That should be cool.
lame, you gotta carry keystones now to open rifts
but you only need one to open it, so that's good
the gold piles show how much gold it is, which is also nice and in the corner you see how much total you picked up in last few seconds
@Frank you should join, since there's so many updates for monks (I think?). I don't play a monk and mine is very crappy

Q: Colors on Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 Deluxe are messed up

Jason B.So I recently bought Roller Coaster Tycoon Deluxe during the steam sale, so I can reminisce and feel the nostalgia of the game. So when I first ran the game, the game started up normally, but all the colors were messed up. Ex. When it first starts the game, the background where it shows the hasbr...

@Chippies I'm dancing tonight. No D3 for me.
@Frank booo
Oh snap
Windforge, Lyne, Sang Froid
Who here likes Terraria? Take a look at Windforge
user15026
01:12
Whoa, there is Mythbusters on netflix.....
01:27
@Frank sooo, I spent ~20 minutes on a really slow rift and a greater rift key didn't drop. I lost all interest in this PTR, I haven't seen any of the new features yet
besides the sheet damage thingy, that stuff looks neat
and few legendaries in general chat, which I had to quit due to too many morons
you can unlock 5th storage tab :o
01:42
@Chippies Well, I'm game on trying it if there's someone to rift with.
I just turned it off, it's boring
I'll wait for it to get implemented in the game
the drop rate isn't increased either, so finding legendaries is unlikely, knowing my luck
played for like, half an hour, did a rift and some bounties, got no legendaries, didn't get a greater rift key
the RNG doesn't want me to try the new features
@Chippies Not tonight; maybe tomorrow, though.
@AshleyNunn Yep :D
@Chippies You... did one rift and didn't get a greater rift key, and you're done with it?
hihi
@SaintWacko yep
01:50
@StrixVaria how is writing going?
there is no reason to play PTR other than testing out the new features
I can't keep my paragon levels or the items I find
so why would I keep playing if I spend half hour and I still haven't even seen the new features that I wanted to "test"
I'll try again tomorrow perhaps
on a lower difficulty level probably, T2 rift took a while
@spugsley Hullo!

Q: Why do some game titles differ between localisation versions?

puggsoyI've noticed that for a number of games, different localisation versions sometimes differ in the titles. A notable example are the Professor Layton series, in which the Diabolical Box, Unwound Future, and Last Specter are named as Pandora's Box, Lost Future, and Spectre's Call in the European ver...

02:08
@spugsley There's a whole bunch you haven't read, but I haven't written in a week or so.
I got to a place where I didn't like what was happening so I want to figure out where I'm going in the short term.
I'm over 70k words though :)
02:24
Chrome on android doesnt zoom when focusing a textarea anymore :D
Most of the time anyway
@StrixVaria that's amazing. I'm really super proud of you. I just had a meltdown to Ian about how I feel like my purpose in life is to write but that who gives a shit about what I have to say etc etc whine whine whine whine it's been a rough day
@spugsley take pictures
@GnomeSlice It's hard. I love photography but I don't want to make it a career. I want to keep it for me. Writing feels like what I was fucking born to do. Always has. I went to school for it, etc etc. I just get very overwhelmed
/anxious
user15026
@spugsley Breathe, lovely.
@AshleyNunn <3 best advice
user15026
02:32
One step at a time. One word at a time.
user15026
Take a breath, center yourself. It's okay.
Yesterday I listened to a speech by Neil Gaimen and I just cried and cried and cried. It wasn't even sad. And now today it has been all anxious
user15026
@spugsley Sometimes, emotions are weird and all over. Tomorrow will be a different day.
@spugsley no one can give a shit about what you have to say unless they hear it
Huh, I expected to find FEi here.
02:43
@Chippies yeah. I've written a couple of articles recently and haven't heard back from the sites I submitted. As always, rejection is hard
Hello all
hihi
How are you m'lady?
eh. A little off today. Anxious and what not
life problems, etc etc
:( I'm sorry
Anything I can do to help, beautiful?
user15026
02:50
@spugsley makes hot chocolate and builds us a anxious people blanket fort
@Ktash tell me if it's going to be okay and that there's a point to all of this?
@AshleyNunn omg can that be a thing? Anxious people fort
I want that so bad
user15026
@spugsley Yes, it comes with soft pillows and nice lighting and blankets and hot chocolate and nice things.
@AshleyNunn AND KITTIES
FLUFFY KITTIES
user15026
@spugsley Yes. All the fluffy kitties!
user15026
Because what is a blanket fort without kitties
02:56
Do kitties increase the awesomeness of blanket forts?
user15026
@Seth exponentially.
user15026
It's the law of blanket forts.
Then I guess I've been breaking that law a lot, me haz no kitties :(
user15026
@Seth Eh, inherently, blanket forts carry quite a bit of awesome on their own
@spugsley I can't convince you there is always a point, because sometimes I'm not sure there is. But I can definitely, with all honesty, tell you it is going to be okay. You are a strong and wonderful person, and you have other strong and wonderful people in your life who are there whenever you need. You will get through it, whatever it is. But know you don't have to do it alone. Others are here, if ever you need some help, or encouragement, or even just a friendly smile.
03:00
@AshleyNunn but kitties just add to the awesome
and the fluffier, the more awesome
user15026
@spugsley Truth. My cat is so fluffy he leaves clouds of fluffy everywhere (summer is a fun time)
@Ktash you have done amazingly at encouraging me and I thank you for that. You always seem to care about my work/what I'm doing when the whole world seems like it doesn't even notice me. And for that I think you so so so much
@AshleyNunn OMG my cat too! He walks and little fluff balls fly through the air!
user15026
@spugsley I swear my cat should be naked with all the fluffy he has left behind
@AshleyNunn True.
@Chippies I am downloading the PTR now.
03:06
@spugsley I do, in fact care about what you are doing, and your work. I love your work! And I think you are awesome, so I love to hear what you are doing. No need to thank me, just tell me more ;)
@Ktash :p
> Sweeping Wind
* Weapon damage increased from 30% to 60% per stack
I just about double my DPS with that alone.
> * Skill Rune – Cyclone
** Tornado weapon damage increased from 23% to 35%
And that doubles it. From a single skill.
> A new Legendary consumable has been added
* Ramalandi’s Gift
** Use on an unsocketed item to add the maximum number of sockets that item type allows
So...another affix?
@spugsley But really. If you need an extra ear at any point, I can be one
Though I know you have a lot from a lot of places (which is great)
@Ktash I really appreciate it <3
@spugsley <3
Also, Zachary Levi is now married and off the market. It is a sad day for all
and he didn't marry Sarah :(
user15026
03:22
@Ktash Well that is just sad
@AshleyNunn I know. Maybe it is just a cover, though
I wonder if Jeffster played at his wedding
Even if they weren't booked for it, I'm sure they played

@spugsley Yes, it does! And, yay, anxiety cuddle couch!
user15026

user15026
@Frank The world needs more anxiety cuddle couches
user15026
because cuddles are so great for anxiouses
user15026
04:25
(seriously I wish I had a friend who would just give me cuddles sometimes)
@AshleyNunn everywhere! anywhere!
user15026
@spugsley You are good at this planning.
In a bit of an image mood, it seems
user15026
@Ktash Silly bean do you recall that there are many miles of distance between you and I?
user15026
Because that is much preventing the cuddles
04:27
Internet cuddles. Also visits and real cuddles sometime
user15026
@Ktash Totally. After the World Cup though because OMG SO MUCH BUSY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
user15026
(seriously it is madness)
Now I'm staring an hermione gifs. There needs to be an infinite number of these...
Also yes. Just let me know when works, and we can figure out stuffs
'cause I know you're busy
and I'm about to be much much less so
user15026
@Ktash I am so sorry I am so busy
though, also, on a bit more budget
@AshleyNunn All good. Life happens
user15026
04:29
@Ktash In a yay way, or a oh no I should send you extra good thoughts way
user15026
(also, Bridge, I am totally serious that the Nerdcave is always open for visits.) (Yes I named my apartment)
@AshleyNunn Well, bit of both
Leaving my job and trying my own thing for a little while
user15026
@Ktash Well, I hope it works out just in the right kind of awesome.
Here's hoping!
Gah, I love emma watson

@AshleyNunn MOAR!

Gonna take a few weeks and relax too, which will be nice
@AshleyNunn and more

04:38
@Ktash ooh yes that sounds great
Yeah, I need it. Haven't really taken time off since December
@Ktash oh that is nice :D
@AshleyNunn and even more
you shouldn't have encouraged this, btw ;)
user15026
@Ktash No regrets
user15026
None at all
04:41
@AshleyNunn Have it all
user15026
Okay, small regret for being stuck watching a commercial for Molson 67 because that is a gross as heck beer
user15026
@Ktash There is a Christmas album. That is weird.
@AshleyNunn There is also an album dedicated to food and snacks
that is weirder
user15026
Man, I never knew this all existed

I am going to spend a lot of time with this....
user15026

@Jutschge Are the controls complicated? From the flash-demo, it just looks like you press a button.
