@RedRiderX Is that a Halo deck-builder?
 
@MBraedley Bang is a 3-7 player card game
It was originally themed as a spaghetti western duel
You gain equipment though the deck but it's not really a deck builder.
 
We are swapping some domain controllers for Windows 2012 R2 shiny gooodness tonight...hopefully you don't notice we did anything.
 
@OKAY,PANIC. Still panicking
 
12:18 AM
@OKAY,PANIC. Murphey's Law dictates this will fail in horrible, horrible fashion.
 
@OKAY,PANIC. I shall choose to Pancake instead of Panic.. but Picnicking was a very close second!

Q: Does the Monk passive skill Unity stack with multiple Monks applying it?

pfayzeUnity currently reads: "Each ally affected by your Mantras increases your damage by 5%, up to a maximum of 20%, and has 5% increased damage." Let's say you're with 4 allies, at least one of which is a Monk. You get +20% from your Unity. Do you also get +5% from theirs (since maybe these are cons...

Q: Transfer D3-UEE Xbox 360 to D3-UEE Xbox One

pfayzeI know that if you buy Ultimate Evil Edition for Xbox One, you can transfer your old Diablo 3 data from Xbox 360, but if you get Ultimate Evil Edition for Xbox 360 and play a while, are you able to transfer that data to Xbox One at a later point?

 
1:19 AM
There was a planned Azure maintenance window earlier today which segued perfectly into an unplanned outage.
oh hey it’s still boned
Err, never mind, it’s fixed now
 
1:48 AM
> Starting at around 22:00 UTC on 18 August, 2014 a small subset of customers using Websites in North Europe may experience intermittent connectivity issues to their websites. Our engineers have isolated the problem and are working to mitigate the issue. The next update will be provided in 60 minutes.
 
moo
 
Indeed
 
It's really just about all you can say these days, in these screwed times, man. moo.
the cry of a nation.
 
2:09 AM
 
@RedRiderX Now I'm stuck in a Key & Peele loop
 
@OrigamiRobot Is this a problem?
 
No, just a status update.
 
2:26 AM
Damn you, @RedRiderX. I will need to sleep eventually.
 
Pff sleep is for bored people
 
noSleep is best sleep.
 
2:41 AM
gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/181459/… What happens if a new question seems to be a duplicate-but-better of an older question? Older takes precedence and encourage the user to edit the older question to include their problem details?
Maybe nevermind. I just assumed that I wouldn't be able to find such a question in the meta after I searched just "duplicate" and it seemed too daunting.
 
Always dupe to the more valuable question.
However, that doesn't necessarily mean the "better written" question.
A question that already has answers can, often, be more valuable than a better-written question.
And since duplicates redirect to the dupe target (either automatically or with the info text), there's little harm in a better-written duplicate. It won't be deleted, and users who find that in their search (but not the dupe target) will still find their answer.
 
2:57 AM
@FEichinger My patience is low enough from sleepiness that your avatar angers me with how distracting it is. >:( But thank you for your response. >:(
 
I think I should get some sleep now
 
@RedRiderX arm-around-the-shoulder of commiseration <insert VG joke about something like "of inebriation" being a better suffix to spawn with>
Huh, I just realized I put my computer to Sleep when I sleep. Coincidence? I think yes.
 
3:58 AM
Contrast for $3.75 (Activates on Steam)
I'm just gonna go ahead and totally delete that.
 
Yay. Started Xillia 2, and promptly got 20 million into debt.
 
4:22 AM
@RedRiderX Psh. Sleep.
It's 6.20 and I just spent the last hour reinstalling Ubuntu because fuck my laptop, that's why.
And that doesn't even involve the upcoming lib install mess until I finally have my dev environment working again ... sigh
 
 
2 hours later…

1 hour later…
8:48 AM
I AM HOME
I HAVE INTERNETS
I HAVE A COMPUTER
 
You have capslock
 
Go get crypt of the necrodancer?
 
We're fucked.
 
@MattЭллен shift-lock, please
 
8:48 AM
:D
my apologies
 
@KevinvanderVelden is it that good? I was starting to lean towards skipping it for Rebirth.
I wonder how much Rebirth is going to cost.
 
@badp I don't know, I remember you wanting it
It's not my type of game so I haven't bought it
 
@KevinvanderVelden Yeah, that was 20 days and a few months ago.
 
Oh, ewwww - it's early access.
 
@badp Is there some release date for Rebirth known?
 
8:52 AM
@5pike Hey, Mini Metro is early access and I'm happy with it.
 
@badp Good for you. I just don't like games that are early access.
 
Fair enough.
So it seems that I need four things for Platinum God:

* Beat The Chest with Maggy
* Beat The Chest with Eve
* Beat The Chest with Samson
* Collect 3 of 4 Guppy items
The Guppy one seems like maximum hitler
 
@badp Do you have Isaac with the d6?
 
@5pike Yes
I still really hate the Guppy set
 
@badp Yeah, but once you get it, you're a powerhouse.
 
8:56 AM
if nothing else than my hating the Dead Cat
(but only 16% of US gamers went full downloadable)
 
@5pike Indeed.
 
@badp If you get it early, you can get some deal with the devil items pretty "cheap".
 
@5pike The 9 lives challenge starts you with it, for what it's worth.
that said, that run ends with mom and it mightn't be enough item opportunities to get that thing.
 
I got guppy before I got the virus I think, or was it that other two random item nonsense thing...
 
I'm Baaack
 
9:06 AM
@fredley yeeeeeeeey
we're back buddies!
 
@badp Are you also back?
 
yes
 
@badp From where are you back?
 
@fredley Sicily
There's plenty of awesome food I can only find there, but I have no internets to share them with!
 
@badp I am back from Spain
There was also awesome foods
And awesome suns
 
9:11 AM
@badp Damn backwards Viking scum probably kept it all to themselves. ;)
 
@MartinSojka It must be the only reason. I have no idea why the rest of the world I've seen does not offer such wonders.
 
Wait, C++14 is ready? But ... I didn't even digest half of what is new with C++11.
 
@MartinSojka Get with the times
 
@MartinSojka You want to know half of C++?!
I don't think that's physically possible
 
Half of what's new with C++11.
 
9:29 AM
You probably have to give up your left brain hemisphere's worth of information density just for that one
 
9:42 AM
 
Good to see satanists are winning here, they're the lesser of two evils
 
@KevinvanderVelden I was looking for the multiplier on the vertical scale, then realised there was none.
 
@fredley 100 ... 100 what?
 
@5pike people
100 vs 62
 
@5pike potatoes
 
9:47 AM
Ah, ok
 
Out of 2.6m
@5pike Which is all
 
go NE England
 
@badp go go NE England
 
North-east England deflates on @fredley's backpack, crushing him
RIP London
 
@badp Ha! My backpack is in another city entirely! Take that North-East England!
 
9:56 AM
argh this computer is fast enough to run BoI without slowdowns
ABORT ABORT ABORT ABORT
 
10:14 AM
It seems like analogue controls do let you move at less than full speed
dunno about diagonals
 
@badp WHat the hell for a bullet pattern is that.
 
@Arperum Looks like the rock on Isaacs head makes the tears form an orbit around his head.
 
@5pike Uhu, meteorite or something probably.
 
@Arperum They explain it
 
@badp No sound.
 
10:21 AM
@Arperum same
 
The third item in the game over screen is the planet. It makes tears orbit around you
The second item in the game over screen is the iron bar. It makes some tears darker; darker tears cause "concussion damage" and confuse enemies
The first item in the game over screen is good old rock, apparently.
The fourth item? I don't know.
The coop baby (Edmund is playing him) was in the troll version; he drops troll bombs occasionally.
 
@badp Oh, no control over these bomb droppings?
 
Yeah, coop babies can't use bombs, or keys, or doors, etc.
 
Any information about how many coop babies are available?
 
"bazillions" (quote)
 
10:27 AM
That requires science. Also: is coop available over all modes? and is difficulty adjusted for coop?
 
This was a challenge mode, so I believe it is
That said it might not be available for ???, for rather obvious reasons
He's keeping vague about other details
He said "you will have to strategize with [your co-op partner] because, well, you'll see."
 
@badp We'll see.
 
will we
WHAT IF EDMUND DIES
 
@badp OKAY, PANIC!
 
Edmund is an anagram of ded mun
 
10:31 AM
ATTENTION EVERYONE!
I HAVE RETURNED, SO YOU MAY ALL REJOICE!
 
@badp Seems like when a co-op partner joins, he takes 1 heart container from the host.
 
@Wipqozn despairs
Was that rejoicing? I can never tell
 
@5pike Yes. When the main player drops to 1 heart, the co-op baby can't respawn
 
@KevinvanderVelden close enough
 
@KevinvanderVelden It's where you read The Dubliners for a second time

Q: Diablo 3, XP bonus due to kill chain

Lasse V. KarlsenAfter killing 10 enemies in Diablo 3 on Xbox One just now an "alert" popped up to tell me that (ie. 10 kills) and that I got an XP bonus of 1.5x. Is this bonus retroactively applied to those 10 kills, or would it have applied to further kills? It seems these alerts only pop up when I break the ...

Q: What actually unlocked the Previous Assassin's outfits

Memor-XIn my game when i went into the outfits i found i had the previous Assassin's outfits in with the rest. i assumed this was because i had played the previous games (didn't complete Assassin's Creed 3) and they got unlocked because the game picked up their save games.

Q: Covenant level ups from npc invaders

Another method fo...

@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment I'm not feeling it

Sometimes I think people suggest stupid proposals just so we can laugh at how stupid they are.
 
@Wipqozn yes. people create proposals exactly so the bridge can laugh at them.
 
Freedom Wars releases in October! Vita owners (all three of you) get hype!
 
12:44 PM
@Rapitor Good.
 
(@BenBrocka @RavenDreamer @FAE)
 
@Fluttershy Freedom Wars? Do you hate Freedom now too @Fluttershy?!?!?1
WHY DO YOU HATE FREEDOM!?!?!?!?
 
@Wipqozn I'm from Amurica. Of course I don't hate freedom.
 
@Fluttershy But you hate popcorn, cake, kittens, and rainbows.
Those are essentially all pure freedom right there.
 
@Wipqozn The title is actually in German. It means "The cathedral of Free was it".
 
12:49 PM
@Wipqozn I love kittens. I don't like what kittens turn into. Also, I like rainbows.
 
@Fluttershy wait, you actually dislike cats?
I was just making shit up, but damn.
 
@Wipqozn We had a demon cat when I was growing up. So I'm not overly fond of them. I'm a dog person.
As in, I prefer dogs. Not saying I'm actually an anthropomorphic dog.
 
@Fluttershy Are you sure you're not a dog?
@Fluttershy I think we've had this conversation before.
Probably after I made the same lie about you hating kittens.
Not that I ever lie.
 
@Wipqozn Except for all the time. But that's like never, so it doesn't matter.
 
@Arperum Exactly!
See, @Arperum understands me.
Speaking of which, congrats on the house @SaintWacko!
 
1:02 PM
@Wipqozn Are you sure that's not a lie?
 
@Arperum To be perfectly honest I lie so much it's hard to keep track.
 
Speaking of which? How are those two things even remotely related?
 
I may even be lying about my name!
 
@Fluttershy That's speciesist.
 
@Fluttershy I bought a house 1.5 months ago? Or maybe it was just another lie.
 
1:03 PM
@Fluttershy Well @Arperum spoke, and I got him mixed up with @SaintWacko, so I was going to congratulate him on his house purchase and then I realized I mixed the two up.
so I was like "Oh, okay".
and then I typed out "Speaking of which, congrats on the house @SaintWacko!" and pressed enter.
 
sigh Why do people keep mixing me up? First the whole thing with @KevinvanderVelden here, then @OrigamiRobot who kept connecting the wrong voice on teamspeak, now this again. Who's next?
 
@Arperum I think it's just because you also recently bought a house.
There are a lot of people buying houses in the bridge
@OrigamiRobot I know! @Fluttershy is a monster. A cake hating monster.
 
@Arperum You guys have equivalent voices.
 
Also, I heard a rumour that @Fluttershy was responsible for World War 1. Not sure if it's true though, but given his track record of disliking cake, I'm pretty sure it is.
 
@OrigamiRobot @KevinvanderVelden sounds completely different then me!
 
1:06 PM
@Arperum I agree
 
Also, different accent and all.
 
Again, I agree
 
It's just your brain wiring things wrong.
 
You have very distinct, but equivalent voices.
 
@Wipqozn who hasn't bought a house recently? I know I have
 
1:08 PM
Unrelated PC hardware question... In terms of video card manufacturers, who is better? MSI or EVGA?
 
@KevinvanderVelden If 1.5 months is still recently, then I have too.
 
Well, I won't have the actual paperwork done for 1.5 months, so recently is about 1.5 months in either direction
 
@Arperum 1.5 months is recent for a purchase as significant as a house.
As a side note, you guys are all the worst, with your house buying.
 
@KevinvanderVelden I haven't.
 
I'll be moving out in october which is rad, but not house levels of rad.
 
1:09 PM
I've had mine for six years.
 
Anyway: work to be done, progress is expected and such. So direct yourself to one of my seemingly many doppelgangers if you need me.
 
The main reason I want a house is so I can have a project room.
 
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
@OrigamiRobot Let's get a house together! :P
 
parker has a new bad habbit
 
Parker is in love with Wakka.
This is the worst habit.
 
1:12 PM
Wakka was the really annoying one, right?
 
@BenBrocka Bela used to do that.
 
You mean "Wakka was the annoying one, ya?!"
 
@Fluttershy You guys should move to nova scotia and then we should all get ahouse a together.
 
@Wipqozn Who in the cast of FF X isn't annoying? Except Auron, of course.
 
She's learned that being in front of the TV when it's on is a bad idea.
 
1:13 PM
 
@5pike This is true.
 
@BenBrocka "Hey, pull up a seat."
 
Mhhh... I wonder... would the game be better without the whole Tidus and Jecht shebang?
 
I actually like FF X.
 
...That's where your mind goes? not the awful romance subplot? Or Wakka?
 
1:17 PM
It has been a long time since I played through X, but I think you can write them out and still have the (almost) exact story.
 
I don't really think so, past zanarkand is... slightly important
In the same way that Jenova is slightly important to FF7
 
@BenBrocka You can have Auron.
 
Technically Auron's only around because of the Jecht stuff
> [Watch Dogs is the exception to this new rule. Ubisoft has promised the title for Wii U, and as of now, that version is still in the works. “[Watch Dogs] is coming to Wii U,” he assures. “It will be the only mature game we publish on it](gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2014/08/18/…)
No more Ubisoft games for Wii U basically, aside from any UbiArt projects, probably
 
Just make Auron the main guy. Leave the whiny Tidus and his daddy Issues out of the game.
 
Auron's definitely the best, no doubt
Was super annoyed he's only a temp party member in KH2
 
1:22 PM
Rikku was obviously the best.
 
I really wanted to like X, but Tidus just kills everything.
 
Auron was pretty awesome too.
 
Tidus and Yuna. The whole love story crap they've been hammering in since 7
Worst trend in JRPGs, it's basically never done well
 
@BenBrocka Oh god, that was just painful and forced.
 
@BenBrocka Parker is so silly.
 
1:27 PM
@Wipqozn he really really likes hohokum
and The Last of Us, a bit
 
It's hard not to like The Last of Us.
Speaking of which, @BenBrocka, the multiplayer is one of the best I've ever played. Have you tried it?
 
@Fluttershy No, it's quite easy to not like it.
 
@Fluttershy no, I rarely touch multiplayer like that
 
The thing that killed it for me, were enemies that spawned out of thin air.
 
> This is a condiment packet that was manufactured with no way to seal it, so that anybody who wants to can add their own ingredients to it, resulting in the very best possible sauce.
 
1:31 PM
so apparently ferguson is getting crazy again. The national guard is there now.
 
> The last guy apparently decided that it needed a whole lot of vodka.
 
@5pike They...almost never do? Only time I remember that being an annoyance was the sniping area
 
I don't recall ever seeing an enemy spawn from thin air. X_x
 
In two days, explorers will be released into the rebuilt castle Shadowgate.
 
1:34 PM
@fredley Sounds like a splendid idea. За вас!
 
@Fluttershy In the Sniper section it's pretty apparent certain enemies aren't spawned until you get close to areas, or while sniping. They don't actually spawn in mid air, but behind cover and crap where they're clearly scripted to pop out of. Not a big deal IMO though
 
@BenBrocka Maybe it's Really Silenced Hills!
 
> Witnesses have said Brown’s hands were above his head when he was repeatedly shot by an officer Aug. 9.
> The latest clashes came after a day in which a pathologist hired by the Brown family said the unarmed black 18-year-old suffered a bullet wound to his right arm that may indicate his hands were up or his back was turned. But the pathologist said the team that examined Brown cannot be sure yet exactly how the wounds were inflicted until they have more information.
 
@BenBrocka When I played the game, enemies (mostly humans, though) pretty much materialized everywhere.
 
That doesn't remotely sound like the game I've played 3 times
 
1:36 PM
The important thing is the officer responsible is getting of scott free.
despite the fact the investigation is still on-going...
so you really can't say if he shouldn't be punished..
unless, of course, the police force is completely corrupt.
 
@BenBrocka Well, that was my experience. I tried to stealth the most part, but the out-of-thin-air enemies pretty much ruined those attempts.
 
@Wipqozn I'd be surprised if the grand jury doesn't indict the officer on charges if they actually get to hear evidence this week (which is supposedly possible).
 
> The independent autopsy determined that Brown was shot at least six times, including twice in the head, the family’s lawyers and hired pathologists said.
Didn't realize he was shot twice in the head.
This is completely ridiculous. Even if the officers story is true, that the man attacked him, that doesn't justify killing him.
 
Yeah, the one shot was through the front top of the head too.
And I read that the head shots were believed to be the last two shots fired, though I don't know which pathologist provided that information.
 
Baden also said there was no gunpowder residue on Brown’s body, indicating he was not shot at close range. However, Baden said he did not have access to Brown’s clothing, and that it was possible the residue could be on the clothing.

Crump also said that Brown had abrasions on his face from where he fell to the ground, but there was “otherwise no evidence of a struggle.”

Q: Searching for an instance name

RandomDisplayNameI played WoW a few years ago (I think Wotlk or Cata was the newest expansion back then) and now I came back. I cant remember the name of an instance which was great. I cant remember which level I was when I played it but it could've been between 15 and 30. All I really know is that the last boss ...

 
@Lazers that's a new one... still falls under game id?
 
@OrigamiRobot Yeah, this story just keeps getting worse.
 
1:50 PM
@Rapitor The scope is small enough to be answerable.
Still not a good question by any means, but within what we can do.
 
@Wipqozn On the Internet nobody nopony knows!
 
@PrivatePansy I get it. That's funny.
