The Bridge

5:00 PM

@Yuuki i always thought it was neutral Force, just how what you do with it

its not like the force itself is corrupted

@Yuuki Its not just "the dark side", its "the dark side of the force". I disagree, but without me getting to talk to George (yet) I think we'll never know for sure. :)

Ronan Forman

@TimS. There's one character who's evil and keeps getting pulled to the light side.

Tim S.

@GodEmperorDune Thats my take on it

GodEmperorDune

although my headcanon is all polluted with legends

Tim S.

@RonanForman Who's that?

Ronan Forman

5:01 PM

@TimS. Kylo Ren

Tim S.

@RonanForman He didn't start out as evil. He was one of Luke's students.

Yuuki

reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/41g9na/…

Tim S.

then he was seduced by snoke

GodEmperorDune

@TimS. we don't know how he was at the academy

Yuuki

@TimS. ಠ_ಠ

nukeforum

5:01 PM

Every single time you guys say headcanon

GodEmperorDune

he might have been all gothy back then

Ronan Forman

@TimS. True, but does keep having flashes of good side.

Tim S.

Because he's in conflict

nukeforum

Ronan Forman

@TimS. He wants to be evil so much

Tim S.

5:02 PM

@RonanForman Yeah, I don't see how it's relevant that he didn't start out evil.

Darth Vader /Anakin didn't want to be evil. He chose the dark side because he wanted to save Padme

Ronan Forman

@TimS. You were saying that people only go good -> bad.

Sterno

@nukeforum link?

Tim S.

In the movies, that's generally true, although Palpatine and his master would be the exception to that so it seems.

(just thought of that)

GodEmperorDune

i was not crying in the shower i just realized how i'll never get to meet darth vader and then soap got in my eye

The friar disappears into the book, leaving his wallet behind. You quickly change your name to Victor, and to Victor go the spoils.

Then you change your name back, and continue your search.

Tim S.

5:03 PM

the movies never go into details about sith apprentices

Well supposedly Lucas is supposed to be around here for Episode 8, so I have a decent chance of meeting him. If I get the opportunity I'll ask him, because now you got me curious ;)

@Dragonrage KoL?

@GodEmperorDune yep

A: How does Windows 10 allow Microsoft to spy on you?

It's worth noting that your first link is in relation to the Windows Insider program. The Windows Insider program provides you with pre-release software that does call home with usage details and other information. This is something that you agree to by installing the Windows Insider preview - if...

Yuuki

I think the disconnect here is that I'm arguing that the "Dark Side" is unnatural, a corruption of the Force (although I never really liked that depiction). Just because it exists doesn't mean that they're necessarily two sides.

GodEmperorDune

5:05 PM

@Yuuki well all jedi/sith morality boils down to what color your lightsaber is

Tim S.

The force is the energy field that surrounds all living things. How you manipulate that is up to you

Obi Wan was quite clear on that :)

but I agree with @GodEmperorDune's lightsaber comment

"Oh damn, it's red. I guess I better join Slytherin"

MadMAxJr

I thought the force was microscopic bacteria in your bloodstream?

Yuuki

@MadMAxJr No, they're MITOCHONDRIA, THE POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL.

Tim S.

The mitichlorians make up the force, they are what creates the field

just like iron creates a magnetic field

Yuuki

I don't think that's how it was explained.

ardaozkal

5:08 PM

I need anger management..

Tim S.

That's how I interpreted it.. just watched the marathon recently, but it doesn't matter either way

Yuuki

The Force is the Force. Midichlorians supposedly let you interact with the Force, they don't create it.

Tim S.

granted the original trilogy never spoke of mitichlorians

and the prequel trilogy never spoke of energy field

Yuuki

And then we get into really stupid EU stuff like "maxichlorians".

Tim S.

so I think they're just making shit up now

MadMAxJr

5:11 PM

I think that's the key point for all of star wars.

Making stuff up.

@MadMAxJr I know, it was a joke :)

Q: How to obtain mixed gems, like Amethyst-Diamond, in Blade and Soul?

I'm playing Blade and Soul and have realized that the store has categories for mixed gems like Ruby-Citrine, Amethyst-Diamond, etc-etc. I was wondering how I'd obtain such a gem. Thanks :)

Q: Why can't you select "Autosave to cloud" for ironman games created locally?

A few months ago you didn't have the option to save locally. Now you do, but if you want to save it to the cloud so you can play it elsewhere you can't; the option is greyed out in the game options once you load the game. Does anyone know why? I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to turn th...

Q: When should I Fortify / Consume a hero?

Quite new to this (level in early 30s / 2 legendary heroes) and just wondering when I should consume a hero vs when should I fortify one? Here is my guess if you can correct me where I am wrong: Consume: - Anything lower than a rare - Ideally same colour (On this note, if my hero is, say, red/...

Hm, fair enough

kalina

5:46 PM

and that windows 10 post was so silly

ardaozkal

@kalina of course we don't spy on you!

nukeforum

@kalina Right? I was internally raging about it until you posted

Thanks for that post, seriously

I've referred so many people IRL to that answer

kalina

I'm sure if I hadn't somebody else would have soon anyway

StrixVaria

@fredley I started digging and it just got deeper and deeper. Someone needs to tl;dr this drama.

Sterno

If I get an arbalest in Darkest Dungeon, I'll name it @kalina

Kevin van der Velden

5:51 PM

What kind of gameplay does darkest dungeon have anyway?

I'm thinking off buying it

Powerlord

@KevinvanderVelden Turn based RPG kinda/sorta

kalina

@Sterno yay \o/

...I think?

Sterno

This stupid alt-f4 argument is driving me nuts.

@kalina darkestdungeon.gamepedia.com/Arbalest

It's a dungeon crawler. You build a party and go around exploring dungeons for resources that you use to improve your base and make your party stronger

Yuuki

5:52 PM

@Sterno I haven't really used the Arbalest.

Powerlord

Your party members can take both physical damage and sanity damage.

Kevin van der Velden

Giant crossbow

Sterno

The argument for closing it is basically: "The question asks if it is harmful. I think it is. Therefore, any answer that says it isn't harmful is harmful and should be deleted. The only possible answer is yes."

GnomeSlice

pretty much

But yeah, the idea is you're fighting to stay alive but also sane

My most regular team has been Jester/Plague Doctor - Vestal - Highwayman/Hellion - Crusader.

I think if you ask "Is it safe to do this thing" and you get some answers that say yes and some that say no, and you do it anyway, YOU WERE WARNED OF THE RISKS AND WE DON'T NEED TO PROTECT YOU FROM HEARING A NO

ardaozkal

@twobugs sounds like don't starve

kalina

@KevinvanderVelden there doesn't appear to be much fire

@kalina It's the only class I've seen that remotely deals with fire.

I have't played Don't Starve, so no clue

Sterno

5:53 PM

They get a flare!

Powerlord

Oh yeah, one more thing... Darkest Dungeon has character perma-death. You may end up having to recruit new members because of it. Characters also gain bonuses and quirks (usually curable) during and after dungeon runs

fredley

@StrixVaria tl;dr scifi elected a troll as mod

yay... flares...

@fredley Which one?

yikes

I haven't even had one that long

Sterno

@SnakeDoc This is why this argument seems so ridiculous to me. The guy is asking if it is harmful. Some answers say yes. This one says no. People are up in arms that this "no" answer is going to get him to hurt himself. It's specifically the thing he's asking about. If he gets a yes answer and a no answer, it's not like he isn't fully aware of the possibility that the "no" answer might be wrong. We need to stop treating users like idiots who can't make decisions for themselves. There's no hidden danger here. He's fully aware of the risks if the answer is wrong. — Sterno 2 mins ago

@Wipqozn Yes

Can someone write up a lore thing about the Sci Fi user, I want to know who was so bad that even Sci Fi had to get rid of them
