@MadMAxJr That sounds like an awesome way to blow my arm off.
I can't wait to try it.
 
Well the weapon is meant to have the last three with magnetic latches. You whip the target, let the grappler mines hit, then you hit the release on the handle, the mines tangle around the target, then detonate.
 
Here's another angle of that kit:
 
@MadMAxJr So these are timed pressure mines or something?
 
Wow, Mozilla clearly hasn't thought this through.
 
@Yuuki I have no idea. It was awesome though.
 
3:08 PM
@Frank Darth Maul comes to mind
 
@5pike That's it exactly.
 
The thing also had two panzerfausts. SPACE PANZERFAUSTS.
 
As far as I can tell, I can't view the security details of an SHA-1 SSL certificate because it brings up a warning dialog instead of the certificate.
The warning dialog in question is because the page contains "unencrypted content" (which is a lie, it's coming up because Verisign signed it using SHA-1, which you find out if you open the Firefox dev tools and reload the page)
Dear Employer: Let me use Chrome plz thx?
 
@Powerlord maybe the page also has unencrypted content
 
I call it the Sith Impulse, as the kit itself comes from the Sword Impulse.
 
3:10 PM
@murgatroid99 Can't be, I checked the dev console.
 
@Arperum ugh, I know, I've tried to get it that long multiple times, but the rate at which my hair grows seems to slow down right after it reaches my eyes... Also, maintenance is just so much easier with shorter hair :P
 
Hmm, what should I have for lunch?
 
Incidentally, Chrome doesn't have a problem with the same extended validation certificate.

Hard boiled eggs are awesome

Not wang
 
@Chippies Yea, maintenance on long hair is more work. But I think it's worth it.
 
3:13 PM
@MBraedley Grilled cheese and tomato basil soup.
 
> Listen. We have no intention of jumping through hoops for some jumped-up Imperial prima donna who won't do the paperwork properly. That's off the record, yes?
 
@Arperum then there's the issue of not looking very manly and long hair just enforcing that

Q: What determines the stagger duration?

KodamaWhen I fill the chain bar to stagger enemies, will the bar, once it's full, always deplete at the same speed or can I somehow keep the stagger bonus up for a longer time? I have noticed that the stagger duration is always much shorter right after a preemptive strike. My subjective feeling is tha...

 
Dear Japan, please export some of the awesome Gundam games you're just sitting on to the US. The fun ones. Not the Journey to Jaburo or Encounters in Space junk.
 
3:14 PM
@Chippies Beard. Fixed.
 
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... I'd cc the people but they've probably already read
 
Unlike Firefox, Chrome gives me a bunch of useful info.
 
@Arperum I have let it grow for a full year and it just grows couple of centimeters, bushy and not very beardy
 
@MadMAxJr Don't have any tomato soup, but grilled cheese sounds good.
 
3:16 PM
@MadMAxJr I never understood why these go together. I like each of them separately, but not at the same time.
 
@Yuuki That's a cool move from microsoft, I just hope there's no hidden nuclear bomb in it
 
@Chippies I would sometimes like to have this problem.
 
Note that the Chrome icon for mixed content isn't there either btw
 
@Chippies Heh. I'm probably going to post a pic of me saturday or monday(going to get my hair painted), It doesn't need that much to stop the female look.
 
@Frank honestly, I can't complain about it, it's quite low maintenance :P
 
3:18 PM
@StrixVaria It's semi-common in some of the midwestern resturant/cafes around here.
 
Bleah, I'm wasting so much time just because someone decided to do a security audit of our dev server (seriously?) and is complaining because it's not using HTTPS.
 
I'm not a huge fan of body hair, so I'm glad I am not a very hairy dude
 
Usually it's tomato soup. /fancy/ places call it tomato basil.
 
Which is because they won't shell out the cash to get an SSL cert for dev and all the browsers toss their cookies when they encounter a self-signed cert.
 
@MadMAxJr Oh I've heard of it all over, I just personally don't like the combination.
It's like peanut butter and jelly. Each one is delicious on its own, but together they are seriously vile.
 
user15026
3:20 PM
@StrixVaria I love them together.
 
user15026
@StrixVaria I've never liked jelly, so this one is totally out
 
ERROR: PBJ is delicious. Recommend sending StrixVaria back to factory for refurbishing
 
Note: I haven't had peanut butter and jelly together since I was a kid. My memories are vivid and repulsive, though, so I'm loath to try again.
 
Send them to the PBJ reeducation camps.
 
i have no idea how PB&J could ever be considered repuslive
 
3:22 PM
I have recently discovered that if a steak is cooked literally perfectly, then it is tolerable. Non-perfect steak is still awful, though.
 
moldy bread?
 
Steaks around this region seem to be 'perfect' when cooked to the 'medium' standard.
 
user15026
@StrixVaria What is your definition of perfect?
 
@Rapitor Idk about repulsive, but PBJ doesn't sound like a good combo in my mind (I've never tried it actually)
 
@AshleyNunn I don't know. I just know that I've had 2-3 steaks over the past month or so that I could actually ingest. I've also had 2-3 that I couldn't and fed to my dog.
More on the well-done side for me, though.
Medium well I guess?
 
user15026
3:26 PM
@StrixVaria Ah. I tend to prefer a medium-rare or rare steak
 
The main problem is fattiness. Any fat in steak is inedible.
 
GUYS! Why is poorly cooked steak called "rare"?
 
The ones that are cooked right kind of liquefy the fat and then that's really good.
 
@Rapitor According to this visual guide well done = best steak.
 
3:27 PM
disregard italics.
 
The red part in the middle is icky.
 
Can we not talk about religion?
 
Oh look it's food time.
Later.
 
@Yuuki probably unwise
 
> not
I'm Texan, steak is religion here.
 
user15026
3:28 PM
@Rapitor Yay the steak I like is best steak :D The internet has validated me
 
@Yuuki wise*
 
@AshleyNunn I like my steak medium rare.
 
user15026
@Frank Those are pretty good too
 
@AshleyNunn Rare?

Q: RetroN5 - Extreme lag between controller input and seeing results on screen?

NickWhen trying to play a game on my RetroN5 (which is hooked up to an Insignia HDTV (that doesn't have "Game Mode") I have extreme latency between pushing a button on the controller and seeing the results on-screen. Everything I have read suggests that the TV just isn't handling the video rendering...

 
user15026
3:31 PM
@Yuuki mhm!
 
Medium rare best steak
 
rare to medium all good. depending on the cut
fancier cut = less cooking
 
@Yuuki I've seen some Texans yesterday. One of them had a terrible singing voice. And looked like he could start wresting a bull at any second.
 
Oh dear oh dear.
I have become addicted to Torchlight 2.
Goodbye grades and any productivity
 
@RPiAwesomeness As awesome as that game is, I never managed to get addicted to it much
 
3:35 PM
Well...not addicted. But it's lots of fun.
 
I think Diablo 3, as bad as some may have considered it at the time, set the bar higher than Torchlight 2 could jump
 
I can see why people like games like this, Dota 2, and LoL.
What with all the upgrades and weapons and magic and stuff
 
@RPiAwesomeness torchlight isn't a moba?
 
@Chippies Never played that one
 
@RPiAwesomeness Dota2 and LoL are completely different genres from Torchlight
 
3:37 PM
Ninja'd. Twice. Dammit @Rapitor and @Chippies
 
@Chippies i wouldnt say completely. they are still just pointy clickys, but they are different.
 
@Chippies Obviously. I was just comparing the magic/upgrades/weapons system thing. I haven't played Dota 2 or LoL...so I guess I shouldn't say that :P
 
@Rapitor well, has some similar mechanics, but very different focus on what the games are about
 
Yeah. The focus is different, but some of the gameplay mechanics are similar.
 
@RPiAwesomeness in dota2, LoL your upgrades don't persist through the games, and you're usually gonna go through the same builds anyway, so, imho, the builds and upgrades have very little meaning in those games
 
3:38 PM
pointy clicky bad things
 
they're just milestones until you can actually go fuck shit up
 
@Rapitor Monster Hunter forever.
 
@Chippies Ah. I see. Again, haven't really played them much :P (LoL not at all)
 
@RPiAwesomeness I have played both veeery little, but enough to know the basic mechanics :P
 
I heard LoL takes a ton of time to play
 
3:40 PM
@RPiAwesomeness in what sense?
you need to know meta game, which is part of every moba, I guess
 
My friend said the matches take like an hour at a time. Again, just passing it on - never actually played it myself
 
@RPiAwesomeness if you like torchlight, try Path of Exile (Free to Play) or Sacred 1 or 2 (not 3) or the ones everything is still compared to; the diablo games.
 
@RPiAwesomeness matches are 30 minutes to an hour IIRC
 
@RPiAwesomeness ah, that sounds about right, I think it's usually between 30 minutes and an hour
 
Ah. I see.
 
3:41 PM
@Rapitor STOP COPYING ME IN THE PAST!
 
@Arperum Aren't the Diablo games expensive-ish?
 
@Chippies NEVER
 
@RPiAwesomeness Diablo 2 with the expansion is like 20$, I think
 
Okay. Not bad, but I think I'd buy Cities Skylines with that money first :)
 
Diablo 3 is 40$ + 40$ (I think) for base and expansion
 
3:42 PM
@RPiAwesomeness D3 certainly is, D2+LoD should be able to be gotten for supercheap.
 
it does go on sale sometimes for less
 
Ouch >.<
 
Diablo 3 has been an amazing investment, imho
 
People who like well done steaks are literally monsters.
That is all.
 
bought it at launch, have played it on and off for well over 1000 hours
 
3:43 PM
I have no clue how much time I've spend on it.
I'm not at home now, so can't check it either.
 
@Unionhawk o_O
 
@Unionhawk people are allowed to like what they want, even if it's wrong. doesn't make them monsters
 
@Chippies Nice
 
I'm probably exaggerating when I say 1000 hours :P I do have couple of characters with over 100 hours on them and many with around 50 hours and some that died in hardcore or are deleted, so it's probably around 1000 hours
@Rapitor what if they like being monsters?
 
@Chippies You can see time/class on your profile somewhere.
 
3:45 PM
@Rapitor yes it does
 
@Chippies does not compute
 
@Arperum I think it only shows percentage though
 
@RPiAwesomeness And there's a game coming out soon that's essentially Torchlight in space. With spaceships and lasers and pewpew!
 
O.O PewPew?
:D
 
@Rapitor People who like Well-Done Steaks are either monsters or Monster Hunters.
 
3:45 PM
@Chippies Nope, hours too.
 
@Yuuki you.
 
They're So Tasty!
 
@Frank I have never actually played a sci-fi arpg that I liked :/
 
@RPiAwesomeness Lasers have sound effects. It makes them three times more effective.
@Chippies Which have you played?
 
@Frank Oh snap. All teh pew pews.
 
3:46 PM
Like, it is the worst possible waste of meat
 
@Frank only a few and they all sucked, so I don't even remember titles
 
It's like eating rubber
 
@Chippies Freelancer?
 
Meat flavored rubber, granted, but rubber OK I'm done maybe
 
@Frank I have played Freelancer, but I wouldn't call that an arpg in the sense I was thinking
was thinking more like Diablo
 
3:47 PM
There's...very few that are really ARPGs. I'm having trouble thinking of any, really.
 
@Frank yeah, there are a couple, but they're not very good
 
Ermegosh it's so nice out here.
 
@Arperum You're right, I was thinking of a different thingy. I am totaling 745 hours it seems
 
Most of my space stuff is limited to 4X games. Less personal customization, but has more empire/global fleet customization.
 
@Chippies That's quite a lot.
 
3:51 PM
@Frank Zigfrak is a hybrid between something like Freelancer and Diablo, and is supposed to be quite good
it focuses on loot quite a lot
 
Religion talk over without anyone getting angry: Has since evolved into dresden files talk
 
it's more diablo than freelancer though, but you control your ship with wasd
 
@Chippies I'm not seeing any screenshots of the equipment screen.
 
Idk how up to date this is, but found it on google images
 
@Chippies It's got a very MMO vibe.
 
3:54 PM
@Frank perhaps, but it's only single player
 
@Chippies cluttered UI is the easiest way to get me to say no to a game.
 
@Rapitor again, idk how up to date that screenshot is, the game is updated all the time
 
@Rapitor I suspect that's one of the times where you're docked, and you don't need to see what you're doing.
When actually out in combat, seems to have much less on there.
And wee, missile trails!
 
seems to have a demo on steam
it's been bundled a couple of times and probably will be bundled some time again
the dev is working on a major update, which is gonna be expansion sized, but free
 
I'm interested in Deep Space Settlement. The aesthetics look really nice.
 
3:59 PM
@Frank Holy frig that looks busy and crazy
And red. Much red many boom such missles.
 
Not sure if space game or Michael Bay warehouse laser rave.
2
 
@MadMAxJr I would pay to go to one of those
 
yikes I'm playing dwarf fortress again :O
 
@djsmiley2k Good bye! :D
 
4:11 PM
hehe yup that's how it feels.

Q: Flags in different chatrooms

JutschgeI recently noticed that I get notifications about flags from chatrooms where I'm not a room owner. Now I'm not sure about whether this is intended or not but I feel like it doesn't really make any sense. The only room where I'm currently listed as a room owner is Summoners Rift (our League of L...

 
@SepiaLazers All math's fault
 
Silly person, lasers can't talk.
 
sets fire to @MadMAxJr
 
@Unionhawk Y-you're not @kalina
:(
 
4:22 PM
This voids my warranty, you know.
 
sets fire to @Unionhawk 'cause Smokey the Bear
 
@John It's my coping mechanism, RIP @kalina
 
Wait... @kalina is gone?
 
@Unionhawk sets fire to the coping mechanism
sounds like she's cut back
 
@John This is true
 
4:24 PM
@John stalker
 
@Rapitor What are profiles for if not to look at?
 
Can I be a stalker too?
 
No
 
Or is that a bad thing? ;)
 
Get out of here stalker/hunter/kirby/John Madden
 
4:25 PM
I WILL NOT ALLOW IT
 
sets fire to @Unionhawk's disallowance
 
sets fire to the fire
 
...
 
i was called Stalkerfrosch (Stalkerfrog) some time ago xD
 
ALL THE FIRES
 
4:26 PM
@kalina, I sincerely apologize for stealing your thing and causing this.
 
douses @Unionhawk in gasoline
I leave the rest to you, @kalina.
 
Pity she will never see these pings.
 
I'm fairly certain she doesn't have the "check all chat rooms for mentions of @kalina" script anymore
(yes she had that)
 
I seem to recall there was a variety of fun words on that list
 
4:28 PM
she must really hate you guys
 
in Minecraft Talk, Dec 3 '14 at 16:01, by kalina
I have a script that frequently checks for messages with kalina in them
 
seems like a funny person o.o but Bridge... you are all some kind of special :3
 
Yeah, I mean we have people talking to lasers and stuff in here.
 
@Serverfrog The Bridge is where people go to be special.
In here, nothing really matters.
 
Geez. Buncha lunatics.
 
4:30 PM
@RPiAwesomeness how rude
 
hehe.. im special ...hehe
 
\o/ NOTHING MATTERS ANYMORE PARTY!

Q: Build a smooth sphere

BetaI'd like to build a sphere in Minecraft. It should not be like that: http://puu.sh/gFv1V/6fca0d8a12.jpg. I need a mooth sphere: http://puu.sh/gFv2A/ed90fcb468.jpg. I know, this one is possible via command blocks. But it takes a lot of time. Maybe some mod can make it easier?

 
@Unionhawk Indeed
 
4:30 PM
is bridge the special forces of arqade ?
 
@OrigamiRobot I KNOW
 
> script to check all rooms
 
@Serverfrog Emphasis on "special"
 
in Minecraft Talk, Dec 3 '14 at 15:50, by Unionhawk
How the hell did I summon... Okay. Whatever.
Wait...
 
@Unionhawk 10/10 troll
 
4:34 PM
Wut
 
Oh I see now, the individual continents are flipped vertically but nothing else
 
@Unionhawk australia is mostly the same
 
Aw heck yeah! Time to pirate Windows :D
 
@Unionhawk *landmasses
 
4:35 PM
vertically and horizontally.
 
@John WHATEVER
 
europe+asia are flipped as one
 
@Unionhawk Indian Ocean isn't near India
 
@murgatroid99 IT'S ALL A LIE
 
The UK is right next to the Koreas
 
4:36 PM
@murgatroid99 And the pacific ocean isn't near california
 
That'll be some interesting culture crossovers.
 
It's not actually an upside-down map
 
@Unionhawk The point is that the Indian Ocean is named after India
 
YEAH I'M WELSH/KOREAN, WHAT OF IT M8?
 
18 secs ago, by Unionhawk
It's not actually an upside-down map
 
4:36 PM
@Unionhawk obviously
 
@Unionhawk rotated*
 
Iceland, mostly unaffected.
 
@StrixVaria Yes, sure
 
@MadMAxJr Alt text mentions this
 
Somali pirates are now very very cold.
 
4:37 PM
I was just pointing out that one name on the map becomes nonesnsical
 
South Africa is now technically North Africa and will have a climate like Egypt.
 
@murgatroid99 India is a state of mind.
 
@StrixVaria what the fuck does that even mean
 
Flordia is now as cold as Alaska...
Alaska is now fairly tropical/humid...
 
People talking about weather patterns: please note that these shifted landmasses would probably also shift the air currents and stuff, so who knows how hot/cold anyplace would actually be.
See: Europe is much further north than the USA (IRL, not on this map) but has similar weather.
 
4:40 PM
I'm pretending this is something that happened after Cobra fired off their Weather Dominator but something went wrong.
Man. Spain/Portugal are going to have Japanese imports /cheap/.
I'm a little jealous of that.
Russia will be fairly warmer, simply by being closer to the equator.
 
Bespoke
Dont talk about russia
That stupid game makes me feel worse about myself than depression quest
 
@GnomeSlice In russia, the weather get a cold because of you?
 
Buh
 
@Unionhawk and the atlantic ocean isn't near atlanta
 
That's not... you know what you're right, you nailed it, good job
(E for effort, F for failure)

Q: Lenegendary cards

Karoui HaythemI was wondering why do we only find Legendary "minions" cards in HearthStone, Why don't we have Legendary Spells cards or even Legendary Weapons cards? Is that Kind of specific to Hearthstone or WarCraft History ?

 
I love it when I fix a problem that's been in production for years, and should have been caught within a month of it happening.
 
I had to boat in to my office this morning.
