Q: Hexxit keeps crashing and won't let me on

On Technic Launcher, I can play on Tekkit and other servers, but when I click on Hexxit, it starts loading, then I get a black screen for a minute or so, then it just gives me a crash report. I used to be able to play on it just fine, worked perfect and never lagged or anything with my new comput...

Q: Is there a way to stop bosses resetting health when you die?

I play solo since i don't have any friends to play with. when i played it on the PS3 if i died i would find the boss had recovered their health meaning at times i would have to use trickery and exploits to make fights easier (ie. shooting at cars with a rocket launcher before going over a ramp, h...

@StrixVaria One of my friends has a three month old and he claims that the child's super powers are blowing spit bubbles and making lots of rude noises :)

so I forgot a ton of shit that I need for my first day of training tomorrow

namely a 'passport photo' for the license application

which I can't get tonight

That feeling when you perform a perfectly executed game of spoons

Its so great

I also don't have my second piece of ID

I got my parents to send me a scan of it

I hope they don't like fire me before I even started

or reschedule me for the next training date

because I already took 2 weeks off my other job

Jesus Christ I'm such an idiot

everybody needs SPEED PANTS

for fuck's sake, and my printer doesn't show up on this pc

maybe I should just not go

and forget this job

user15026

No.

user15026

That is a bad idea.

user15026

Go, take what you have, apologize profusely for what you don't. Don't make excuses for it, just own it, and go from there.

They're DDOSing Battle.net again tonight :|

Hello everybody

@GnomeSlice What was that site that did Android game reviews for "real" free games instead of garbage games that let you play 3 levels and then require you to purchase the real thing?

@StrixVaria honestandroidgames.com

Thanks.

The site is a little lacking in some areas, but the basic idea is nice.

It hasn't been updated in like a month though

t3.gstatic.com/…

1:57 AM

@stizzle84 1) How is this relevant? 2) Why is it so tiny?

Idk y and i found it on google for my daily immage

What?

@AshleyNunn they might push me off to the next scheduled training time, which would be awful because I alrady took two week off my other job

@South patk guy aka strix. I upload a daily immage

Or who is tht in the picture

And just zoom up on it

user15026

@GnomeSlice They might, but they also might not/

2:05 AM

@stizzle84 What?

user15026

@stizzle84 I've taught you to link replies, please do so

for fuck shake I left my laptop home because I haven't needed it in like a month and lo and behold my references document is on it

had to get my dad to email to me off my laptop

this is fuct

This cannot be a good omen

user15026

Breathe. It will be okay.

"For fuck shake" is my new favorite phrase.

Q: Plus signs in Diablo 3 for ps4

What do the plus signs mean in diablo 3? They are next to the sword and shield when looking at items in the inventory.

2:19 AM

@Sterno Babies' faces are so expressive. It's too bad all their expressions are meaningless.

user15026

@StrixVaria But they make the best faces at random.

At least 10 times a day I look over and she's red in the face and scrunching. No poop. Then I'm holding her and she's smiling at me and poop.

@AshleyNunn Yes.

@StrixVaria yes. I was just reading your farting comment. Its good that they fart. Its when they can't and cry all night due to gas pain that life sucks.

user15026

I find seeing my friends' baby do its baby things is just weird and fascinating because really it has no idea what it is actually doing. Like babies punch themselves in the faces ALL THE TIME.

I had to get safety mittens for her because otherwise she'd poke herself in the eye repeatedly or scratch her face.

2:22 AM

And you're never ready for how a newborn's head just flops around like bad ragdoll physics.

user15026

@Sterno oh my god that is horrifying so much

The first day or two I was scared to pick her up (but I had to get over that quickly). You just have to always support their heads always always.

As she is getting a little stronger it's getting a little harder because she can do surprise random maneuvers to try to escape my grasp.

Yup.

user15026

Man, I gotta say, the more I interact with small baby humans the more I am in awe of all y'all who do the thing.

My daughter decided to press her feet into me and try to launch backwards when I was carrying her down the steps in one arm when she was one. It was not an awesome experience.

2:25 AM

Mini Metro is coming to IGS

Get on my level

Told you the press email I sent them was fucken rad

@AshleyNunn Mine mostly sleeps still.

She's figured out daytime vs. nighttime too, so I can actually sleep at night. I'm sure that this will not last forever but the past few nights have been really great.

My daughter, who has slept through the night for about half a year now, decided to start waking up in the middle of the night again one day before her brother was born, and has done it all but two of the nights since. It is not awesome.

on the plus side, she doesn't seem to resent her brother, and gives him hugs

@Sterno That's good! I've heard stories of sometimes older siblings literally try to kill the new baby.

She also apparently learned the phrase "Don't touch me" today, and I hope she says that to everyone until well into her twenties.

@Sterno T_T

@StrixVaria How do you think this will impact your D3 time?

2:32 AM

@OrigamiRobot I'm still on paternity leave for a few weeks, so negative time due to baby can be made up for by not having work.

I see

I hope playing is actually possible by Tuesday

Stupid DDOSers.

I read that the FBI is on the case.

@StrixVaria I had no issue getting in this morning.

@Frank They attacked last night and again tonight. I guess they stopped sometime between.

I hope they get caught and then drawn and quartered.

That's the only acceptable punishment for DDOSing something I'm trying to use.

Shit, I need to go get something to drink

All I have is gross water

2:35 AM

For fuck shake, I hate DDOSers

It's like Sean Connery's saying it.

Ow

Baby #2 is easier because I'm less crazy paranoid in the middle on the night that the baby maybe spontaneously stopped breathing or something.

Also: girl diapers are way easier than boy diapers. In ten days my son has peed on me more than my daughter did in 26 months

@StrixVaria I had no problems getting in right now, either.

2:39 AM

@Sterno Really? I would have thought the having to be more careful with wiping would have trumped that. But then again my son rarely pees all over the place.

Q: Do runes override the base effect?

If I use punish and I use a rune with it, do I still get the 15% increased block rate or does the rune perk replace that? For instance, if I use Celerity, do I get 15% block rate increase and 15% attack speed increase or just the AS increase?

@OrigamiRobot This is terrible. I'm afraid to look in the fridge because I think I'm out of things I want to drink :(

@StrixVaria This is what my brother did to me. Up until I was like 8.

@TimStone nah. You just wipe towards the back instead of the front. Pretty easy. And there aren't any dangly bits in the way

@Frank Oh good. I heard they were getting DDOSed and didn't even bother trying. I mostly just want to start playing post-patch anyway.

2:41 AM

@StrixVaria Yeah, I'm looking forward to greater rifts and the legendary gems.

Anything I do now won't affect the new season anyway, which is all I plan on doing once it starts.

And the changes will be awesome for my sweeping wind, as well.

I'll do Greater Rifts with my new level 70 season character once I get that far.

@Sterno Hmm, true.

@TimStone Can confirm that changing girl diapers is pretty basic. I have no experience with boy diapers, though.

2:45 AM

@TimStone It's ok, I saved the day

Wait, you can't play Diablo if blizzard gets DDOS'd?

wtf

that's stupid

it doesn't even have an offline mode?

@GnomeSlice Obvious troll is obvious.

@StrixVaria ??

I always just assumed it was like TL2 where you could play online but it wasn't required.

Is it an MMO?

huh

Unsure if @Gnome is joking, or seriously does not remember all the drama about it around it's release. and the subsequent drama when it was anounced that the console version would lack always-online.

1 min ago, by StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice Obvious troll is obvious.

2:50 AM

@OrigamiRobot I'm confused, is he calling me a troll?

or the ddosers

Anyway, that's dumb

Speaking of those games, I got my dad to try Torchlight and he actually likes it quite a bit, so I'm gonna get him TL2 next time it goes on sale so we can play together

...if it goes on sale

been waiting for a few months already

@StrixVaria also Ramble Planet

best free game on my tablet by far

@GnomeSlice Make him use that box.

Better than most of my paid ones too

@OrigamiRobot He plays other games too

22 secs ago, by Origami Robot

@GnomeSlice Make him use that box.

I don't even know if he still has it

I wonder if he had tried to market it what would have happened

I got Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup for my phone but it's ASCII-only and ridiculously tiny.

The Play Store is a shitshow.

2:54 AM

@StrixVaria Ugh

@StrixVaria Lol. Yep.

@StrixVaria What kind of games do you like on mobile? I may be able to recommend a few for you.

@StrixVaria Do you like deckbuilding games?

@GnomeSlice I want a game where I don't have to think much right now.

user15026

I've been playing this and it is so cute and fun

I've been trying out things like Pocket Planes and Tiny Tower. Pocket Planes was decent; Tiny Tower is awful.

@OrigamiRobot They're ok.

@StrixVaria Not Ramble Planet then. Lots of thinking and looking for stuff and puzzles.

2:56 AM

It depends on the specifics.

user15026

@StrixVaria Tiny Tower Vegas is better.

@StrixVaria Disco Zoo

@AshleyNunn ooo I've heard about this

user15026

Also Pocket Trains or whatever it is called.

@GnomeSlice I already got all diamond trophies on all areas (then got a new phone and lost my save file).

@StrixVaria Star Realms is really good, IMO.

user15026

2:56 AM

@GnomeSlice It is super good

Pocket Trains is a worse Pocket Planes with a better UI.

There is a free version and it's $5 to unlock the full version

The cards are really tiny on a phone screen though

@StrixVaria play.google.com/store/apps/…

@StrixVaria play.google.com/store/apps/…

> multi-touch action game

I'm generally playing with 1 hand due to holding a baby in the other.

I see.

Okay, that's good to know.

2:58 AM

Pixel Dungeon is trash.

Yeah, gridkill requires both

@StrixVaria Ignore my suggestion then

@StrixVaria wat

user15026

This is a tricky puzzle game: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noodlecake.huebrix

I'm just trying to get more people to play Star Realms

2:59 AM

@StrixVaria play.google.com/store/apps/…

I played it a while back and it was stupid. At least Nethack/Crawl/etc. are fair. Pixel Dungeon is dumb.

As far as I can tell the lite version is exactly the same ^

@StrixVaria What's dumb about it?

@AshleyNunn Noodlecake makes awesome games

@AshleyNunn ooo that one looks awesome!

user15026

@GnomeSlice Yes they do!
