Assassin's Creed Unity will let players "fast track" unlocks with microtransactions

More and more people have money to buy games, but don't have the time to play them. How come no one has made a service where people play videogames for you and then write a short summary and review of the game for the individuals with lots of money and little time?

@LessPop_MoreFizz which Monty Python movies would you recommend?

@AshleyNunn A thing that might be of interest to you. (FYI, if you don't want to buy a cheap bottle capper, you can pick up a six-pack of Grolsch with awesome swing top caps and wash those out instead because swing top beer bottles are kind of a handy thing to have around!

@FEichinger wow, that's... interesting. Hadn't heard about it

I dunno, maybe they backpedalled on it after a while.

I haven't exactly kept up with what announced features actually made it into the box at the end.

Well, just because I haven't heard about it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I don't exactly follow console news

@Michel I don't think so, but don't get into edit wars

Michel

@KevinvanderVelden The OP was the one who approved it.

Frank

12:37

@Michel It sounds like a pretty specific question.

user15026

@Michel While I think it could apply to other mobas, and likely does, I am not sure if it needs to be rolled back.

StrixVaria

@Michel Looks fine with the LoL tag to me. Most things in Dota are pretty different from LoL if you want really detailed answers (which is what we like here).

user15026

@StrixVaria This is also true.

Michel

@Frank yes, about moba not LoL. For Dota and other moba's this would create confusion.

user15026

I think at this point it isn't really a problem.

StrixVaria

12:38

Plus there are other "moba" games like Smite and Awesomenauts that have completely different mechanics.

Michel

@StrixVaria it's a term. MOBA players usually go to one to another MOBA from times to times. and removing the tag, this would improve the answers as well

user15026

@Michel How widespread is it outside of LoL?

user15026

I am not sure how it would improve the answers - they look pretty clear to me already

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn As a Dota player: Not very.

@AshleyNunn the answers (but one at least) are focusing on LoL not in MOBA itself.

@FEichinger Ah, this is good info to have.

I suspect it should just be left to lie, then.

I have heard neither of those terms outside of a few strays that actually came from LoL to begin with.

@FEichinger not none too

user15026

@Michel Yes, but who is it ultimately more useful to?

user15026

And how much does it really matter?

Michel

12:41

@AshleyNunn Not much... just trying to understand the "rollback" itself

because mine wasn't wrong, and I think accept better answer

user15026

@Michel The person thought (as I am starting to also think) it was a more LoL specific thing than anything.

user15026

@Michel Wait, are you talking about answers, or tags, here?

Michel

@AshleyNunn Both

The answer improved because it isn't just about LOL. OR edit the question to say "League of Legends" not "MOBA"

user15026

@Michel I am not sure that edit is needed.

Michel

@MartinSojka It is pure chaos at this point.

There's been violence from both the police force and the protesters at this point.

Martin Sojka

So no point reading much of anything about it then, at least for me. I'll keep concentrating on the conflict where people I actually know (and their families) are in danger, the one in eastern Ukraine.

They claim they are still investigating, but release information about how the officer was attacked.

You can't withhold some information due to not being done your investigation, and then release only informaiton that makes you look good.

Frank

@Wipqozn They're controlling the story. It's all PR spin, and they're doing a bad job of it.

Wipqozn

And then not release any evidence to support your claims

Tim Stone

@Wipqozn Even their version of the story doesn't make them look good.

"He went for the officer's weapon! ....and was then shot unarmed 35 feet away."

Martin Sojka

@TimStone Sounds like a typical teenage suicide to me. He probably also beat himself up a few times before he shot himself in the back.

This whole thing would have went a lot better if they just suspended the officer during the investigation, say that's what they were doing, and decline to offer anymore information until the investigation was done.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz The sense of what?

LessPop_MoreFizz

Omertà

Omertà (/ɵˈmɛərtə/; Italian pronunciation: [omerˈta]) is a cultural expression and code of honor that places legitimate importance on a deep-rooted family sense of a "code of silence", non-aggravation with authorities, and non-interference in the legal actions of others. It originated and remains very common in Corsica and Southern Italy where Mafia-type criminal organizations such as the 'Ndrangheta, Sacra Corona Unita, and Camorra are strong. It also exists to a lesser extent in certain Italian-American neighborhoods where the Italian-American Mafia has influence and other Italian ethnic enclaves...

user15026

@TimStone "If I just ask my question loud enough...."

Tim Stone

They made sure to mention that there was a strong-arm robbery at a nearby convenience store right before Michael Brown was shot, and that a description of the robbery suspect was broadcast by the dispatcher.

Wouldn't be surprised if the "description" was "Young black male, about 6 feet in height" and the officer went "OH WELL THAT MUST BE HIM"

Since most robbery suspects walk slowly down the middle of the street after they've committed a crime, totally makes sense.

Martin Sojka

I wouldn't be surprised if the description was "Young white male, about 6 feet in height" and the police officers went "They must have gotten the 'black' part wrong."

Man, work is freezing with a sweater on...I am tempted to keep making coffee to be warm but then I will start getting twitchy and I don't think anyone wants a twitchy grader. :P

Tim Stone

@FEichinger Which is disgusting. Society sucks. Meh. :/

SaintWacko

@LessPop_MoreFizz Wow

Kevin van der Velden

@AshleyNunn make tea instead!

user15026

@KevinvanderVelden We have no tea :(

@AshleyNunn nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

@SaintWacko Rembert is easily one of my favorite writers working today, and the fact that Grantland basically gives him free reign to write what he wants is amazing.

Kevin van der Velden

How can you work in such a hostile workplace?

SaintWacko

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, that's amazing

LessPop_MoreFizz

Also, the fact that he can get away with being known on the internet by his first name only in most cases is pretty great too.

user15026

@KevinvanderVelden I know, right? It makes me pretty sad.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Not many writers, even writers with super unusual names, who can pull that off.

FEichinger

@TimStone Meh, it's not the first time, it won't be the last. In fact, I really hate when people claim this is a "recent" development. There's always been the extremism on the "good side" that shoots way past the satire.

user15026

@FEichinger Aye, but it doesn't make it any less shitty when it happens.

user15026

Jackson said that Wilson has been an officer in the police force for six years and no disciplinary action was taken against him.

user15026

That....I just....nope.

Jason Berkan

@LessPop_MoreFizz Marching with the protesters was a stroke of genius.

@AshleyNunn I don't even know why I was hoping for something different

user15026

@KevinvanderVelden Yeah, I am right there with you on that one.

Kevin van der Velden

Could you just get your head out of your ass america?

Frank

@AshleyNunn "He's never done anything wrong before, so therefore, this might have just been an honest mistake."

Frank

I mean, I get not wanting to make him a scapegoat, but let the investigation complete before saying he's not in trouble.

@KevinvanderVelden Please to not tar our whole 300m person country with a landmass roughly equivalent in size to all of yurop.

FEichinger

@KevinvanderVelden But then the ~~communists~~ ~~terrorists~~ gangs win!

Kevin van der Velden

@LessPop_MoreFizz true enough, "Could you just get your head out of your ass american police forces and justice system?"

Tim Stone

@AshleyNunn They actually said that he had no history of disciplinary action, the investigation into the current incident is obviously still ongoing.

The wording there is...not ideal.

user15026

@TimStone That makes me feel slightly better.

@AshleyNunn That's not to say that disciplinary action shouldn't have been taken in the past, since the behaviour of the police department so far brings into question their ability to respond appropriately to the concerns of the public, but I suspect if that's the case we'll hear reports about it now that everyone knows the identity of the officer involved.

user15026

@TimStone I hope so.

FEichinger

> until Ubisoft doesn't change.

Tim Stone

It's very well possible that this is the first time the officer has messed up though, but it doesn't really change his personal accountability either way.

@3ventic This is relevant, since Ubicrap just promised to focus on PC again.

user15026

@KevinvanderVelden I want one!

It's at about 2:02 in the video

user15026

I am looking for ebooks to add to my reader from the library and I discovered that apparently christmas themed romance novels are like a genre all their own and that is weird.

Frank

Huh. My monitors seem to be losing their brightness settings when coming out of sleep mode sometimes.

Origami Robot

@AshleyNunn :/

Kevin van der Velden

14:35

@AshleyNunn how does that even work? Is it just a regular romance novel but set around christmas

user15026

@KevinvanderVelden Yep. The entire thing is related to the fact that it is christmas

Martin Sojka

So, kinda like Die Hard 2?

Kevin van der Velden

@AshleyNunn how is that a thing! Well I can understand why it's a thing, but not why it is enough of a thing to be a separate genre.

user15026

@KevinvanderVelden This is the question I am asking myself

Frank

...Trying to peel data out of an Access database in something approaching readability seems to be a lost cause.

Kevin van der Velden

Trying to do anything of use with Access is a lost cause, no disagreement there

Rapitor

There's always worse software out there, just remember that
