@AshleyNunn Oh wow
 
PIZZA IS UNDERGOING QUALITY CHECK NOW AKA: ETA 3-6 MINUTES
 
@Unionhawk legit pizza place needs no quality check because it is always good
 
When you die, you can’t take your money with you

When you’re acutely aware of your mortality, it makes spending money that much easier. Those who don’t plan for the future aren’t planning for their death.

I dunno, call me nuts for wanting to invest stuff in my future. I have some investments and RRsP stuff because I like the idea of being able to take care of myself.
 
@GodEmperorDune quality check is a euphemism for "waiting for delivery driver" and "making sure we didn't send entirely the wrong pizza somehow"

I have had money invested and rrsp stuff going since I got my first job at 16. Not always been a lot but has always been something.
 
12:36 AM
Cool, Hunter is at 260+
Hopefully I can get to 280 and do the Nightfall this week on at least one character
 
@AshleyNunn I assume rrsp is a Canada thing?
Never mind, Wikipedia straightened me out
 
@AshleyNunn I have savings and have all I want and am 27. I'm pretty sure I'm doing it right.

Q: How to recover a banned Runescape account?

OakI sporadicly play Runescape, I could barely call it playing since I log in, check my bank, equip my character and then get bored of the combat system. This has been going on for a few years. Tonight I tried to log in because of the release of Darkscape and I found out I was banned for Macroing. ...

There is an ethernet cable STUCK IN MY LAPTOP
 
I finally got reimbursed the deductible from when I had my car repaired, in May, for when someone backed into it when it was parked.
 
user15026
I don't understand why this thing will not come OUT
 
user15026
@StrixVaria O.o that's a long time to wait, but I am glad that you finally got reimbursed
 
@AshleyNunn It's because I wanted it repaired right away, so I had my insurance cover it but then pester the other person's insurance for reimbursement. I guess it finally came through.
Of course the insurance company of the person at fault was dragging their feet.

Q: In minecraft, what is the recipe for a lead

ErinSo i'm playing in survival, and I found a vein of iron, how do I make the iron bars into a lead? please give me a minecraft recipe

 
I'm somewhat impressed by the ingenuity of companies that attempt to bypass regulation. If only they would put that effort into actually making their product better.
 
@TrentHawkins Sadly, cheating is most often more profitable than actually improving the product.
Regulations? Bah! Complying would be expensive, so we won't. We'll just look like we're complying.
Which is weird; the car can obviously do it, but they chose to just turn off those components, rather than make it aa permanent upgrade.
 
3:39 AM
@Frank Until / unless you get caught, which could be devastating... The violations for willfully bypassing regulations could cost VW $37,500 per car (times 500,000 cars)... Granted, sufficiently large corp, might get a slap on the wrist compared to what the laws say they should be penalized.
 
That's still probably at least a 100% loss for each of those cars
For Volkswagen, anyway
The purpose of such a device could be to allow a car to perform better but with more emissions while it isn't going through testing. Clever but not allowed.

WHAT ABOUT THE ERROR NUMBERS FROM 2,147,483,648 ONWARDS
WHERE ARE THOSE
> The System Error Codes are very broad. Each one can occur in one of many hundreds of locations in the system. Consequently the descriptions of these codes cannot be very specific. Use of these codes requires some amount of investigation and analysis. You need to note both the programmatic and the run-time context in which these errors occur.
> Because these codes are defined in WinError.h for anyone to use, sometimes the codes are returned by non-system software. Sometimes the code is returned by a function deep in the stack and far removed from your code that is handling the error.
of course there's also this other incomplete list
How is this an error that exists
 
11:09 AM
@badp Obviously, you just need to look at the comment next to the error code in WinError.h
(Of course, this assumes that the file is properly documented.)

Ring 2 sounds like a kernel problem
In computer science, hierarchical protection domains, often called protection rings, are mechanisms to protect data and functionality from faults (by improving fault tolerance) and malicious behaviour (by providing computer security). This approach is diametrically opposite to that of capability-based security. Computer operating systems provide different levels of access to resources. A protection ring is one of two or more hierarchical levels or layers of privilege within the architecture of a computer system. This is generally hardware-enforced by some CPU architectures that provide different...

@MBraedley How's that treating you?
 
@AshleyNunn Awesome! Although they did fuck one thing up on the TV side. I asked for NFL RedZone, but they gave me Sunday Ticket instead, which costs 4x as much but isn't nearly as useful. I'm partly to blame though, for not realizing what the service rep was saying when I called. (In my defence, he did have an Indian accent.)
Apparently, RedZone can only be added online, which is something I didn't know until I called a second time to get things sorted.
 
user15026
Fun....
 
user15026
Did you get it sorted?
 
@AshleyNunn Not fully yet. It's still listed as a package, but the second rep I talked to said it'd be refunded. Since it's one of those once a year deals, they don't allow you to remove it after you've added it.

Next week's assignment - rewrite a fairy tale as a science fiction story, or rewrite a classic science fiction story as a fairy tale

@PrivatePansy First option seems easier
Also, parts of Narnia have already been retold in Doctor Who.
 
@MBraedley That Christmas Special? I think the only thing Narnia-esque about that episode was the title
 
@PrivatePansy Well, parts of the premise too. The big box is obviously referencing the wardrobe.
 
4:05 PM
It wasn't a very good episode, if I recall correctly
A lot of classical science fiction stories are, at least in part, informed by the tropes of classical literature and fairy tales
We talked about that in class. Science fiction, as a genre, is pretty self aware in this regard
 
@PrivatePansy It wasn't great, but it was still watchable.
 
Definitely was not unwatchable, just slightly disappointing

And I couldn't care less about those horse races
@MadScientist Oh that's a bummer
 
I should try again and see if it is fixed now
 
For me it was smaller stuff like NPC's not finishing their death animation.
They were left hanging the moment before they ragdolled.
It was pretty amazing.
 
@RedRiderX Especially with the bugged horses on bridges and that shit. But I really enjoyed Gwent on my second playthrough
 
@MadScientist Gwent seemed okay didn't really get into it though.
Too P2W :P
@MadScientist Oh yeah and horses never really do well with bridges.

Q: How positron cannon works?

BuddaUsual behavior of positron cannon is that it shoots one per 1-1.5 second. And it is hard to say what exactly time interval to wait for 2nd shoot. Though, I've noticed that sometimes it can should twice in a row with a quite small interval 0.25-0.5 seconds. But I could not realize how does that h...

Here's a good pic of the freeze fall, though Cat's effect obscures it a bit.
 
It certainly has its share of bugs, but it is no Elder Scrolls game, at least in my experience ;-)
 
Yeah I guess I never played those enough to get all the good bugs.

A: What does "Rakanishu" mean?

Rocking IssueInsider scoop! One of my friends was senior programmer for D2. I asked him the same question one day -- "where the hell did you guys get the name `rakanishu'?" He said that one day in the office another employee sneezed, and it came out sounding like "RAKANISHU!" They liked it, and made it pa...

@GodEmperorDune I think we have a meta about that, but I dont remember exactly
 
@GodEmperorDune Downvoting is always an option. Unverified word of god is not an acceptable answer
 
I'm considering buying Mad Max off of G2A, but while researching the site, I've found quite a few reports of people being ripped off, with keys never arriving, being for another game, or not working alltogether, and the site being very unhelpful with getting it sorted.
Are those just drops in the ocean, or does that actually happen frequently?
 
7:55 PM
@NateKerkhofs I've never heard of the site before, but if there's any indication of shadiness (which there is), I'd stay away.
 
Basically, from what I've heard, it's a marketplace for resellers that also sometimes sells keys themselves. If you buy keys from themselves, they will work, but resellers might pull cheap tricks on you

Q: People who claim positions of authority should have to substantiate those claims

murgatroid99We recently had a problematic answer that originally claimed to have privileged information from development of the game in question. This answer made basically the same claims as other answers to that question, and was just as unsubstantiated, but because the author claimed to be a developer, th...

Q: How does the 20 minute OOT run work?

Fredy31I've just got done watching a sub-20 minute run of The Legend of Zelda, Ocarina Of Time and I need to be explained something. How in the hell can you Warp form the first boss to the last boss. Happens at about 10 minutes in the video below. http://www.polygon.com/2015/1/2/7481395/watch-the-fast...

Q: Does Gyrocopter's Rocket Barrage go through Stout Shield and armor?

JeroenLast game as Axe I had a Stout Shield and a Ring of Protection as starting items. I faced Gyrocopter who gave me quite some trouble with his Rocket Barrage ability, which makes me wonder: Does block (from the shield) and/or armor (from the ring) help vs Rocket Barrage? I've searched, and merely...

 
@AshleyNunn Yeah, so downvote it.
 
8:06 PM
@NateKerkhofs That's what I heard as well, the chances of getting ripped off in a marketplace selling grey keys certainly exists. I used Greenmangaming a few times, they seem to be reasonably legit and still have rather low prices.
 
@MadScientist CD Projekt Red may have a bit to say about GMG.
 
I use GreenManGaming as well, have only had 1 minor issue so far where I had to refund a preorder because the base game price (and thus the discount price) was lowered before sale.
 
@Powerlord what happened there?
 
@Powerlord CD projekt Red only comments because they get less money if you buy through GMG rather than through their own portal, and the game ends up on their portal anyway if you buy from GMG
 
@GodEmperorDune There was a large spat between them about Witcher 3.
 
8:09 PM
@Powerlord Yeah, that is the reason I hedged a bit and put in "reasonably legit". Before that they had a pretty good reputation. But from what I heard that had no bad effects on the customers
 
@GodEmperorDune Basically, GMG was selling Witcher 3 below purchase price and CDPR was not happy with that
 
@NateKerkhofs Witcher 3 is on other portals as well.
In fact, as far as I know, all of CD Projekt Red's games are on Steam (for example), which is the antithesis of GOG.
 
@Powerlord GMG is just a reseller, they buy their copies in a brick store, then extract the CD keys and recycle the rest
And if you buy Witcher 3 in a store, it unlocks not on Steam, but on Galaxy (if you want to unlock it there).
 
@NateKerkhofs then how do they stay afloat when they sell games below purchase price?
 
@GodEmperorDune Because it was a one-time stunt, with a discount. The game usually is more expensive.
 
8:12 PM
I'd guess they buy the keys in bulk, and don't sell below purchase price
 
@GodEmperorDune Also, the sale was only for people with an account, and you can buy without an account on GMG as well
 
Not surprisingly, CD Projekt Red wasn't happy when before the game came out GMG was selling pre-orders for the game for 35% off.
 
I think the suspicion was that GMG bought keys from other contries for W3 to be able to give that kind of discount, and the publishers tend to heavily frown upon that
 
Vvvvvvvvvvbbbbbbbvvvvv
 
Incidentally, don't try that with Steam keys.
For some games, Steam keys are locked to specific countries.
 
8:15 PM
Well Well Well, seems like Mad Max is 40% off on GMG currently
 
@NateKerkhofs I've heard the Mad Max game isn't that great.
 
@Powerlord Did you hear that from video game critics, or from actual consumers?
 
Both
Well mostly critics
 
@Powerlord Totalbiscuit made a pretty good video on Mad Max reviewer scores; Basically, critics want to get something new and/or exciting from a game, they want to be "this is an amazing use of X", while consumers are more like "I want to get my money's worth". Mad Max was aimed at consumers, not critics
 
I just really kind of ignored it because it's based on a film
 
8:19 PM
Most reviewers who had issues with MM basically went "this is just an open world game with a lot of filler content like we have so many of these days, and not even an amazing open world game".
However, consumers were happy that there was so much to do in the game, because they wanted to get a good amount of bang for their 60 credits
 
Wait, its open world?
 
In addition, critics usually play on a console. I play on PC, and from what I heard, MM was the best PC port we had in years
 
Interest increase
I wonder how it compares to FUEL
If its even comparable at all
FUEL is probably my favourite game of all time
 
Take a desert, add the Far Cry style of open world content (radio towers, outposts, things to loot, random quests, convoys), add Arkham light melee combat system with brutal moves, add car combat that involves smashing cars together and harpooning people
That's basically Mad Max in a nutshell
 
that sounds pretty awesome, actually
 
8:24 PM
From what I heard, the game itself is quite decent, but since we had so many open world games and so many Arkham Asylum-style combat systems in recent days, critics got a bit bored and didn't rate Mad Max that highly
here's Totalbiscuit discussing what exactly happened for just over 40 minutes:
 
I'm at work on my phone
Also TB's opinions dont usually match up with mine
Guy knows his stuff though for sure
 
@GnomeSlice That's not the review though, that's him giving an explanation as to why there is such a big rift between consumer and critics when it comes to scoring Mad Max.
 
@NateKerkhofs Well... coming out this close to Batman: Arkham Knight was sure to get critics to pan it.
 
@Powerlord Yeah, definitely. Als coming out on the same day as that other AAA open world game (MGSV)

@NateKerkhofs That too, although in the past, MGS games haven't been open world.
