@Chippies Holy crap, that turned out really cool.
 
@AshleyNunn I expected it to be smoother, I actually had to do a lot of post-processing to get the star trails as they are and they still have small gaps
the 10 second interval between each photo was way too long for the speed the stars were moving at
 
@GnomeSlice Looks neat, but I'm in a no-spend mode at the moment.
Landscaping took up all my free money for a while.
 
but you learn from mistakes :P
 
@StrixVaria Look at mr fancy homeowner over here.
 
user15026
@Chippies I never really thought about stars being something that moved quickly, at least to our eyes
 
8:04 PM
that's how much they move in 1 minute
also, there's an airplane
 
user15026
Huh, that's neat. :)
 
also, if anyone could explain what that red trail is that would be great
until then - I'm convinced it's aliens
 
@Chippies that's not the powerline?
or a reflection of sorts
 
@Chippies it's probably a plane or something with a blinking light
you can see it go by in the video
 
8:07 PM
also that. planes have blinkers
 
it's really quick
 
@GnomeSlice self driving freighter truck and I can't even get an automated car yet.. come on D:
 
You'd think it would just be a bunch of dots though
 
@Rapitor no, it's the only photo out of 100'ish pictures that has that line
@GnomeSlice it might be, but there are other ones that have different colours, also it moves really fast
that whole line is done in 60 seconds
 
speaking of aliens
I saw one of these when I was a kid
didn't have the red light
and I couldn't see the shape, just three white lights
and it didn't make any noise
Never found out what it was
it was really low
out in the country
 
8:10 PM
@GnomeSlice 0_0
 
it looked like that
except they were white
It was probably a plane or something idk, it was silent which was weird.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't aliens
but I don't know what it was
 
food time
 
@GnomeSlice Porbably not aliens

Q: What Reduces the Will of Soldiers?

ChargingPunIn XCOM: Enemy Within: What effects/events can reduce a soldier's Will score? How much is the Will reduced by? Is there any way to prevent this (either before or after the event)? I was told that a Gravely Wounded soldier would lose Will at a rate of 2/day while healing. But in a recent game,...

 
@Lazers2.0 this still needs some unclear votes
 
8:28 PM
i have returned
 
Furby Paradox?

Q: Avoid backpeddling when locked on

Niet the Dark AbsolBackpeddling is annoying, as anyone who's played Ocarina of Time would know. In FF14, it can get you killed. I like to use the Lockon feature, sometimes just because it gives a better camera angle to enjoy the visuals of the fight from, but it forces me to backpeddle, even using the legacy cont...

 
@GnomeSlice Whoo, Magnemite!
 
8:41 PM
Well, that was dumb.
Apparently we had two functions in two different JS files with different names that did the same operation to differently named tables.
 
@Powerlord lol
 
Since both JS files are loaded on the same page, I just made a second function in the main file, added the table ID as an argument, and made the original functions call that one instead.
Forgot to mention these were AJAX responses, so I can't get rid of the functions altogether.

cc @Yuuki
Let's keep it at: if you end up going I'm going to have to suppress the want to come over and join you.

Q: Clash of Clans - Can I Choose only 10 Members in a 15+ Member Clan for War?

8bitmeWith the relatively recent updates for Clash of Clans it is possible to select who goes to war. I currently am in a 10 person clan but would like to grow the clan. Can a Co/Leader take only 10 people into the war if there are 15+ people in the clan or are you forced to stick to the nearest mult...

@Yuuki that looks like a ton of work

Q: Unable to activate Fabled Cave in Alpha Saphire

ZeldaThis has never happened to me before in the game. I came in to hunt for shiny Zekrom again but I found that it was stuck on "A mysterious ring is floating in the air...". I have a level 100 pokemon in my party, and I have not messed with the time on my 3DS, so what gives? I did just recently dow...

 
@GodEmperorDune It says two months.
But yeah. That's a ton of work.
 
So this week's episode of Agents of SHIELD has huge spoilers for Avengers AoU. Just a forewarning for anyone that hasn't seen either.
 
@MBraedley thanks
 
10:13 PM
@MBraedley ooh, i can't wait for when i get time to watch this week's ep
 
@MBraedley Thanks for the reminder to download it!
 
Just got back from Age of Ultron.
I enjoyed it.
I still can't believe the Avengers lost and the entire world was destroyed, though.
 
@Wipqozn wow, it sounds like Captain America: Civil War is going to be really boring
 
@Wipqozn this is why we can't have nice things
@murgatroid99 yeah, i think they go to a gettysburg re-enactment
 
@murgatroid99 Yeah, must be a prequel or something.
 
10:15 PM
May 3 at 19:12, by Sterno
I still don't know what they were thinking, having the Avengers get defeated and then having Howard the Duck show up to destroy Ultron.

@MBraedley Yeah, but after Howard destroys Ultron, Thanos comes in and destroys earth.
 
user15026
@Yuuki Wow, that was excellent
 
@Wipqozn Shh, that's the next movie
 
@MBraedley Next two movies.
 
@Wipqozn the version i saw had @Wipqozn destroying the earth. no wonder he's the worst
 
10:18 PM
@GodEmperorDune Destroying the Earth is pretty rad
 
@Wipqozn you even replaced the empty husk with hahaha.gif when the guardians of the galaxy arrived too late to help
 
user15026
@yuuki Hardison and Parker with the DDR mat and her getting frustrated was like the CUTEST scene.
 
@AshleyNunn did i tell you i finished kimmy schmidt?
so good at the end
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune no, you didn't! The end was so good. I am worried for everyone :P
 
user15026
@Yuuki HE IS MAKING MUSIC FOR HER
 
10:26 PM
@AshleyNunn yeah, i hope they get a season 2
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune They do - filming starts August, afaik, airs next year
 
@AshleyNunn i don't want to wait that lonnnnnnnnnng
also i think the auditorium where tidus auditions for "too many spidermen" is at my college
 
my time might be up, chaps - i might drown in propaganda leaflets tomorrow when i try and leave the house to vote
 
@shanodin Pack a flamethrower.
Problem solved.
 
the thing i fail to understand is how the green party can print and send so much paper, and still claim to be green
 
10:35 PM
@shanodin paper is recycled
 
there are still better uses for it
 
@shanodin I'm pretty sure a good number of Green Party funders are actually Republicans.
Because any votes the Green Party gets are usually votes that would otherwise go to Democrats.
 
@Yuuki republicans = conservatives & democrats = labour?
 
@Yuuki all the more reason we should do range voting or approval voting
 
@shanodin ... yes?
 
10:38 PM
@shanodin in the usa, yes
 
I think so.
 
ah
@GodEmperorDune basically anything other than FPTP
 
@shanodin pretty much, yeah

Q: Riki's Blinkstrike against Faceless Void's Chronosphere

AlexIf faceless void used chronosphere would riki be able to blink to him using blink strike and then backstab him (with blinkstrike)?

 
10:55 PM
@GnomeSlice You should just send these things to me on Facebook. Increases the change I'll listen to them.
 
Man, Prenda is the gift that keeps on giving.
 
How not to advertise Mother's Day stuff:
 
They keep with their, "We have no idea what you're talking about" tactics, right up to the end.
And their lawyer has just stated that they want a case sent back for criminal contempt sanctions.
I suspect they may be firing that lawyer quite shortly.
 
user15026
@Yuuki Avon?
 
11:00 PM
@AshleyNunn Unfortunately, I don't know.
 
user15026
@Yuuki I think so, because I can't recall anyone else selling Night Magic, and the fonts look right
 
@Frank this is 2 and a half hours...?
 
user15026
Yep, I was right (you can see the Avon name on one of the bottles)
 
@GodEmperorDune It's the entire hearing of Prenda's lawyer valiantly attempting to defend his shitty clients with such statements as, "I don't know", and, "They plead the Fifth".
But if you just want a summary, techdirt.com/articles/20150504/23101630888/…
 
@Yuuki apparently you don't understand that half of the world's mothers day gifts are bought by husbands for their wives (pretending its from the kids)
That is not a stat I just made up right now.
 
11:06 PM
@Frank OHHHH, the case you are talking about starts 59 minutes in
i was listening to some stuff about mexican extradition and was all wtf
 
@GodEmperorDune The link should start there, no?
 
@Frank might be an iphone fail then
yeah this is wild now that i'm at the right part
 
@Sterno meh, probably accurate
 
@Sterno That's still kinda creepy. "Here honey, Jimmy gave you something for Mother's Day: a bottle of lube!"
2
Granted that's not what's being advertised.
 
@Frank this is why i wish they let cameras into scotus
 
11:12 PM
@GodEmperorDune Most court cases are stupidly dry and boring.
But some, a chosen few, are so filled with schadenfreude and delight, that you can't help but watch them.
 
@Frank either way, something so historically important as a supreme court case should be recorded for posterity
 
@GodEmperorDune It is. Just not in video.
Probably.
 
@Frank written transcript, even audio, is not the same as video
 
@GodEmperorDune No, it's not and I'm not saying it is.
 
@Frank you are correct that there is a recording made, i would just prefer it be a better one
 
11:17 PM
@GodEmperorDune Give it about a decade or so.
 
@Frank :S i cringe at the cases that will be heard until that. I would have loved to see the prop 8 case and aereo

Q: What does rotating the compass do?

ArperumI've unlocked field E3, it has a little compass on it, if I click on the compass, I can change the direction it's pointing at, after rotating it a full circle I got an achievement. Bombing it didn't seem to do anything at all. What use does this compass have? I'm assuming it has some effect in t...

Q: What motivates my rivals during Conquests?

EricWhen competing for a field, the player can choose to compete in a festival or compete via shipping. For the shipping options, what determines how much my rivals ship? If an exact formula isn't known, it would still be useful to know which factors definitely do or definitely do not affect a riv...

 
11:27 PM
That's what reboot/repair looks like by the way. As you can see, you're probably fucked anyway if you need it.
Except in the "player left you disabled but didn't kill you" scenario
 
11:40 PM
@Unionhawk Womp womp woooomp.
 
hot damn... I can make 0.5€ by selling two cards...
But I don't want to sell them :(
 
Oh hey, title edits turn links to visited questions back to their unvisited color because of the url change.
Never realized that.
 
or maybe I should sell them now and buy them back once the prices have lowered a lot.
 
@Arperum with the cut Valve makes on each transaction, it's unlikely you'll make any money
 
@murgatroid99 If I'm able to sell a trading card now for 30 cent and later buy it back for 10, I made 20 cent.
The cards are brand new, so still worth a lot.
I expect the market for them to crash in this and a couple days.
If that long.
 
11:50 PM
@Arperum do eeet
 
@Arperum If you spend a total of 5 minutes making those 20 cents (setting up the sales, watching the prices), you're making an average of $2 an hour
 
@murgatroid99 Instead of $0 if I hadn't done so.
If these five minutes allow me to buy all of the cards for this badge, I'm very happy with the result.
 
Why not just spend less time putting 30 cents or whatever into your steam wallet, and buy the cards?
 
But I just can't sell this card.
@murgatroid99 Because I'm lazy and not willing to spend money on cards, especially not yet because prices will drop in no time.
 
@Arperum You mean that you're not willing to spend money that you didn't make in steam on cards
 
11:54 PM
@murgatroid99 Yes.
I am not going to spend money for the sake of completing steam badges, playing the market to do so is acceptable, that's part of the game for me.
 
I could explain to you the irrationality of dividing up essentially fungible resources into pools that you will only spend on certain things, but I expect you won't care
 
user15026
@murgatroid99 But isn't that....budgeting?
 
user15026
Which is a thing a lot of people do, and it works?
 
@AshleyNunn OK, I could have been more specific. I meant to talk about dividing up money by origin and only spending money on certain things if it came from certain sources
 
user15026
@murgatroid99 This breaks down, though, when the money cannot be spent on other things
 
11:59 PM
If you ever plan to buy a Steam game, money in your Steam Wallet is worth as much as any other money you would have used to buy a Steam game
 
@murgatroid99 It's mostly that the steam cards/badges are just some little extra game to me, and I don't want to spend money on said game. The money that ends in my steam wallet doesn't count, since it actually is just part of the game.
 
Of course, my point doesn't really make sense if you never plan to buy another steam game
