Argh why won't more people ask MtG questions on BCG?
 
@murgatroid99 blame @Wipqozn
 
@GodEmperorDune I don't want to assign blame. All I want is a gold tag badge
 
@murgatroid99 i went to BCG, saw and thought it was about us... :(
 
We are about to re-join our DR data center into the secondary SQL cluster. We *hope* this has no impact.
 
Now that I think of it, I wonder if there is another site that has as big a topic inbalance as BCG
The top tag there has been used over 1500 times, and the next one down has been used almost 200 times
 
12:13 AM
@murgatroid99 mtg does seem to have the popularity as well as rules complexity to generate a lot of questions
 
Right. And it's not just that the rules are complex, but that they keep adding complexity
Every set adds new rules and new cards, which create new interactions with old rules and old cards
It basically keeps us in business forever
 
@murgatroid99 the only thing i can see as comparable is dnd rule interactions
 
@GodEmperorDune Which is probably why 3 of the top 4 tags on RPG are DnD
 
@murgatroid99 yep
 
12:37 AM
Two more layers, and metallic blue is complete!
Did anybody want pictures of parts in various stages of painting? Or can I dispense with those steps? :P
 
@Frank in progress pics are always welcome, but i don't want to delay the finish
 
user15026
@Frank i just like when there are pretty colours to oooh and aaaaah over
 
@GodEmperorDune It will delay it by at most five or ten minutes.
It's not like taking pictures is a time intensive process.
 
@Frank pics please then :D
@LessPop_MoreFizz eastbound and down is so damn funny
 
First layer of paint
 
12:49 AM
@Frank how do you get it so even with just the one layer?
 
@GodEmperorDune It's a gloss black base.
And I have to try super hard to make it run.
 
@Frank i guarantee you i could make it run
 
@GodEmperorDune Dude, I've only been painting for a year. I'm still very much a newbie.

Q: How do I fix the sound of my game when I start a Skype call?

PizzaMan808Whenever I am playing a game, and I call my friend on Skype, the sound on my game goes super low, to where I can barely hear it, and it remains the same all through the Skype call. However, though, when I end the call, my sound goes to normal again. Is there a way to fix this?

 
Most of it is either the airbrush (because I bought a super nice one), or the paint (because I love how it works).
 
12:53 AM
@Frank end result is that your stuff looks amazing
 
@GodEmperorDune Apparently. I do invest rather large amounts of time into it.
 
@Lazers2.0 Alrighty guys
Open that back up
This question is on topic as Skype (and or Mumble, Team Speak, etc) are commonly used pieces of VOIP software used while gaming. This is no different then having a question about Steam, or a play station or the like.
 
@James It's been migrated.
Nothing to open.
 
user15026
@James Nope, it's not about gaming, it is about Skype
 
^^ The comment I did not type out fast enough before you all jumped on it
/me facepalms
 
12:54 AM
Skype is not a gaming specific piece of software.
Nowhere near.
 
Yeah I am not discussing this topic with either of you.. Past experience has proven it to be pointless and a waste of my time :)
 
So we'll leave it migrated, and everybody wins!
 
Do whatever. I do not care.
 
user15026
@James Commonly used while gaming =! gaming on-topic (necessarily)
 
And with that, back to painting! Next layer: chrome!
 
1:00 AM
@Frank Shiny
 
Oh My God
@Frank == @fbueckert?
D:
Mind == Blown
 
I would agree that it is not on topic. If you remove the game from the equation, the question remains the same, so it is not about gaming. "How do I fix the sound of my (youtube video/game/music player/etc.) when I start a skype call?"
 
@GodEmperorDune KENNY POWERS FUCKIN RULES.
 
user15026
@Ktash Yeah, I knew the answer because I had issues trying to watch Netflix and Skype with @WorldEngineer at the same time.
 
user15026
(Took me FOREVER to figure it out, though :P)
 
1:07 AM
Heh 10 stars
I hate you guys
 
@Unionhawk urmom is 10 stars. Remember that when you call her/see her this sunday, and be sure to tell her so.
(FYI, what time I spend here on Sunday is going to be spent making nothing but the absolute most complimentary of urmom jokes. Brace yourselves.)
3
 
I can't fault you for that one. You win this time
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz urmom is complimentary
 
i thought urmom was banned
 
@GodEmperorDune I mean, I can't fault him on that one, technically speaking
 
1:11 AM
@GodEmperorDune urmom is always welcome because she is a very nice lady. Why would you want to ban her?
 
He's found a way around (most) of the "ffs enough @LessPop_MoreFizz"
I'm sure there will still be some "ffs enough @LessPop_MoreFizz", as usual
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz It took me longer than I want to admit to figure out why Sunday.
 
@AshleyNunn Aren't you glad I reminded you!
You still have 5 days to find a card!
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz I was AT the drugstore today! I DIDNT notice. I am the WORST daughter ever
 
@AshleyNunn Nah, I didn't even think of that and would have been oblivious in spite of my mom visiting this weekend
Luckily, she'll be distracted by a new baby
My brother wins this mother's day, and there is nothing I can do about that
 
user15026
1:16 AM
@Ktash My mom did say she didn't really want to do anything (for reasons I totally understand), so that's likely why my brain didn't click in
 
@Ktash I think you mean your sister in law wins.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Nah, she becomes a mother, so she qualifies in a different category now :P
Well, now being at some point in the next couple hours (likely)
 
@Ktash That is why she wins.
 
@Ktash congrats, uncle @ktash
 
@GodEmperorDune Thanks. Not quite there yet, but close now :)
Also, clearly, I had a very difficult job in this matter </sarcasm>
 
1:22 AM
@AshleyNunn Nah, I'm the worst daughter ever. And I'm a guy.
 
user15026
@Ktash Clearly
 
@Ktash your xml is not parsing properly, i think you have a broken tag somewhere
 
@GodEmperorDune You have to use regex for that parsing. That's the best option
 
@James Yep. That's me!
Parts chromed!
 
@Wipqozn Oh snap. We're both deownered. One of us failed.
 
1:31 AM
Same part. One more layer of paint.
And I gotta say; the chrome came out super nicely this time.
 
Hmm... can't make charcoal where I live and charcoal briquettes don't work.
 
In... What application?
 
@Unionhawk Metalworking.
 
user15026
@Yuuki As soon as I saw this, I figured you were thinking some sort of home forge
 
user15026
1:39 AM
You can't make charcoal, but you could make something like a home forge?
 
There are laws in Texas about burning shit?
 
Now I'm playing the original Sim City in my browser
 
I thought fire was protected under the second amendment
 
So apparently a lady in a wheelchair won a treadmill on The Price Is Right today.
 
1:45 AM
This does not bode well for my non-existent free time
 
user15026
@Yuuki She can just take the cash equivalent? It's not like they selected the prizes on purpose to mess with her
 
user15026
@Sterno THe more I look at the IA MSDOS archive, the more time it sucks away
 
@AshleyNunn I have no clue how TPIR works and nobody on Reddit explained that part.
That's nice to know though. But yeah, I wasn't thinking they selected a treadmill to mess with her.
Just thought it was... ironic? Is ironic the word?
 
Sure why not
 
1:47 AM
I have no clue what "ironic" means anymore thanks to the Internet.
 
Does anyone know what ironic means anymore?
I blame Matt fucking Inman for that
For the record
 
I thought we were blaming Alanis Morissette?
 
user15026
@Yuuki Ah, I watched SO much TPIR as a kid
 
user15026
And generally anything that gives you a physical prize has to also allow you to get a cash equivalent (well, the cash is usually slightly less because of taxes and stuff)
 
There are taxes and stuff anyway
 
1:49 AM
 
You win a 23,000 car? You have to pay tax on that.
 
I should write up the decision post for Movie Night but I'm super-lazy right now.
 
If you win a $23,000 car, but then they give you money to pay the tax on that, do you have to pay tax on the money they give you to pay the tax?
 
user15026
@Unionhawk Well, yes
 
user15026
I have no idea how it all works in specifics
 
user15026
1:51 AM
but I know that contests with physical prizes do offer cash equivalents and it is generally somewhat less than the true value of the thing, but I am not sure entirely how the numbers are generated. (I read a lot of rules on a lot of contest things, because I am weird. Including once pausing the really tiny credits on TPIR, because I am, well, very weird.)
 
@Sterno yes
If you acquire money in pretty much any context with a few exceptions, you have to pay tax on it.
(those exceptions being retirement and whatnot)

Q: How do I get out of this room in Kur?

agent86I've just beaten the boss in Kur, and activated the repair drones. I've made it to the upper right hand room in Kur, but I appear to be stuck there. I can't jump high enough to get out of this pit: I kind of feel like I'm missing something here. I've tried shooting everything, drilling,...

 
@Unionhawk Achievement Unlocked! Three baseball games in one night with a single car.
Also, you don't pay taxes on any lottery / contest winnings in Canada.
 
user15026
@JasonBerkan Nope, which is just another reason we are more awesome :P
 
And I have no idea why I linked my first message to @Unionhawk and not my second message.
 
user15026
2:24 AM
@yuuki I am a third of the way through s4 of Leverage....I don't know what I am going to do when I run out.
 
2:42 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz yes they do
 
@GodEmperorDune Mcconaughhey has come a long way.
And I totally butchered his name.
but /lazy.
 
user15026
2:54 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yay neuroplasticity :)
 
Metallic blue complete!
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz It's okay, she'll understand.
 
@TimStone IT'S PRINCE
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Got weirdly deep at the end, but fascinating nonetheless.
 
Exactly! She'll have to understand.
Plus then you can totally pick me up so I can be lazy but also go. Everyone wins!
 
3:01 AM
@AshleyNunn Do what I do, find people who haven't watched Leverage and live vicariously through them.
 
user15026
@Yuuki I am watching the Carnival Job and it is punching me in the feelings
 
@AshleyNunn I do like how they treat one of the fighting scenes, lemme know when you're done.
 
user15026
@Yuuki Just finished the episode
 
@AshleyNunn I like how they did the blindfighting.
 
user15026
3:12 AM
@Yuuki Yeah, that was pretty well done.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz The Wal-Mart closing tie-in has to be the best part of that story. Well, at least tied with the fact that the governor is either than insane or that spineless as to be pandering to people that insane.
 
@AshleyNunn Yeah, rather than him suddenly being all godlike once he blindfolds himself, he gets really defensive.
And waits for an opportune moment.
 
user15026
Yeah, I was worried it would be like OMG Eliot becomes superhuman, but they didn't go that way
 
user15026
Also the first minute of the Grave Job makes me worried for Hardison. I know that is hte point, but aaaaa
 
Yeah, that was me too.
 
user15026
3:22 AM
Parker is CLIMBING THE BUILDING LIKE A MONKEY
 
user15026
3:39 AM
Oh I am panicking SO much for Hardison right now
 
user15026
@Yuuki She's helping him breathe. I can't. This is officially the first Leverage ep that has made me cry.

@Frank how do you know Assley Gaming is 12?
 
Apr 1 at 3:57, by Frank
im olny 12 and extreamly proud of it why are you guuys being so mean — Assley Gaming 16 secs ago
We've been destructing his accounts ever since.
He's on...twelve? Or so.
Wee! Second flower event for Iris!
This question needs another delete vote.
 
@Frank ahhh, and by admitting he's under 13 he's violated the terms and conditions they blindly accepted. i'm surprised you guys are able to id him every time
 
@Memor-X He uses the exact same gravatar and username, every time.
 
@Frank And asks basically the same questions.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Since his questions either get deleted along with his accounts, or he loses control of it when his account goes poof.
 
user15026
4:18 AM
@Yuuki "That Sophie woman? I don't think her crackers are quite toasted. She wants me to moonwalk with a bear."
 
@Frank those look so cool
 
@TimStone pandering is mandatory
 
So very soon, it's going to be against the law to pass anti-discriminatory laws ordinances in Texas.
 
@Yuuki Is this the same legislation that's being used to smack down local fracking bans?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Most likely, yes.
 
4:33 AM
(I'd seen it framed that way, but a more generalized statewide supremacy clause would make sense, and be more in line with ALEC's MO.)
 
"We don't want Big Government. We also don't want Small Government because f--k locals." - Texas
Oh hey. Apparently on the same day it passed the House, lightning struck an oil facility and caused an explosion.
Although HB507 (decriminalization of marijuana possession) also passed.
 
@Yuuki same group of people who decry judicial "activism" whenever they disagree with the outcome of a case
 
user15026
@yuuki watching the Cross My Heart job and part of me wants to believe no one would ever do this but then I am like "they did say they had to tone down things from reality"
 
@GodEmperorDune I mean, I can see where the argument comes from. It's just so hypocritical because they apply it to state-local relations but completely ignore it when it comes to federal-state.
 
@Yuuki if the federal govt passed a law that they liked, they would not challenge it as "an infringement on states' rights"
 
4:52 AM
@AshleyNunn I want to say that might have been an episode where they made things up for plot, but I have long since accepted there will always be someone digging down in the depths of human depravity.
 
user15026
@Yuuki yeah, that's my thought too

Nitro.deAs the most ps4 users know it is possible to share ps4 games with another account if the primary and secondary console settings are set correctly but what about demos?

@KevinvanderVelden HA
 
Ooh right, they meant a different site
Still, the answer is "I don't have an ipad, I can not reproduce it."
 
@KevinvanderVelden Is that even something you're responsible for?
 
8:25 AM
@5pike having an ipad so I can reproduce it? No, fixing bugs, sure, I'm a developer so fixing bugs is part of that
But reproduction is needed before I can fix it (otherwise, how will I know it's fixed?)
 
@KevinvanderVelden I see.
