Q: Where are all the environment-based 'sparkle' puzzles?

BlueRaja - Danny PflughoeftI'm not sure what to call them... I'm talking about the puzzles in the environment that you need to look at from a certain angle, then when you touch them they sparkle and fly to one of those black totem poles. Where are they?

5:19 PM
I hate email.
 
@AshleyNunn why?
 
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment Now where am I supposed to go for my Entertainment needs?
 
user4704
Email is dumb.
 
@Sterno the internets
 
user15026
@JoshPetrie Troubleshooting email issues is frustrating.
 
user4704
5:20 PM
Oh, yes, that's worse.
 
Email servers are awful
 
everything is terrible
 
user4704
I was just thinking I hate how annoying it is to have long conversations, and how almost every email client ever thinks that it's a good idea to keep my sent mail someplace different from all my other mail.
 
Oh cool, someone asked a question that has blatant and unmarked MGSV spoilers in the title
 
5:23 PM
BUT WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT HE'S ASKING ABOUT AND NOT DANCE AROUND THE ISS-- is shot
 
Pfft, that game is old
 
You're... old
 
It's old but these are spoilers for the ending of the game. I'm going to edit it to be less spoilery
 
I can't wait to see the generic, means-nothing title that it ends up with!
 
@Sterno "What does the stuff mean in the thing?"
 
5:26 PM
I mean, this is basically "___ happens in the ending."
I think that's a bad question title.
There, I gave it a good edit that doesn't make anything too generic
 
Except that isn't what they asked
 
It literally is
 
His main question was if Big Boss was in a coma. He only wonders why Snake was if Big Boss wasn't
 
I mean, the problem is this is a bad question that is clearly answered by playing the game and looking at the screen as it answers it for you
 
(or her, I guess, with a name of Heidi)
 
5:30 PM
The thing is, "Snake" in this case could refer to either character
Basically I'm a genius
 
This is reminding me how ridiculous that plot was
 
somehow got added to my list of favorite tags.
 
Well, yeah, I guess it's a problem since Big Boss is Venom Snake, right? That's his name too
So really he needs to ask about... does he even have his own name?
I guess just "protagonist"
 
i dont even play minecraft, and i dont remember adding it, there would be no reason for me to
 
Protagonist is generally referred to as Venom Snake
 
user15026
5:32 PM
@JoshPetrie Trying to figure out why a customer's email doesn't work on any device. I am 90% certain its because they typed something wrong.
 
Big Boss is also known as Naked Snake
 
Right, but wasn't Big Boss originally Venom Snake, or did "Venom Snake" never come up until this game as the protagonist?
WTF MGS
 
Venom Snake is a new character
 
MGS6: Snake Snake
 
Okay. I thought I remembered reading that he'd already gone by that name before the crash (and thus, not as the protagonist)
 
5:33 PM
Snakiest Snake
 
It actually fits really well into the overall MGS storyline IMO
Since this is... not the first time in the series something like this has been attempted
 
worst snake.
 
I'm headed off to the gym now. If you think that question needs any more edits I'll trust your judgment @Sterno
But only until I get back when I'll yell at you regardless
 
have i missed any fun while bdaying?
@AshleyNunn passwordssssss
 
When we get five snakes, do they form a Snaketron robot?
Snake, remember the basics of giant robot combat.
 
5:43 PM
wtf
 
so i naturally have a deep voice, but i have a cold so now my voice is just gravely now
 
@twobugs I just like to argue about spoilers
I don't actually care enough to edit anything

Q: Is it possible to unlock all T and S skills for every character?

ChaseCEvery character has a list of Artes and some are technical based and some are strike based. Is it possible to unlock all of these Artes by forcing your character to go back and forth from technical and strike or am I locked out of Double Demon Fang if I learn Fierce Demon Fang?

Bridge Card Game

Proposed Q&A site for bridge Players who want to learn more infomation

Currently in definition.

 
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment i didnt know we had a card game
 
I'm going to play 'vote to close' on your question card.
Damn. You countered with 'Heavily opinionated meta post'.
 
@MadMAxJr sounds like an overpowered card
 
6:52 PM
@AshleyNunn Unless iti's specifically an iphone
I had awful trouble iwth them saving a old password, even when a new one was entered
 
I could possibly hammer out 'Bridge Chat' with a custom Tabletop Simulator in a weekend, but that'd be work.
 
user15026
@djsmiley2k Honestly, email in general is a mess as a thing.
 
@Yuuki Danny Devito probably doesn't speak Japanese
 
Copied straight from Wikipedia
 
user15026
Done.
 
6:57 PM
i need another 320 rep for that. good thing @AshleyNunn is a ninja
 
user15026
Wooo, my new A+ book is on its way to me, so I can...start all over. (Which is mostly my own fault, and I suspect the studying I've already done will not be entirely useless, but aaaaaa)
 
CompTIA A+ exam?
 
user15026
nods
 
I hate that they expire every 3 years now.
 
@MadMAxJr gotta get money somehow
 
user15026
7:00 PM
I have a 800 series book, they're ending that by June (and I won't be done both tests by then, I can guarantee that) so I am just going to get the 900 series book and start over as it were
 
Well, valid reason. Technology is moving faster than the old certs tech range.
 
user15026
Although apparently some of the irritating bits of the 800 series have been bumped off the 900 series so that's okay.
 
Usually you take the two A+ tests together. They're similar, one is more software oriented.
 
user15026
@MadMAxJr Yeah, you can take them separate though
 
What are the three voltages of a power supply? :D
12v, 5v, 3.3v
 
7:14 PM
Why would you ever need to know that?
other than if you're a hardware hacker, hacking up PSU's?

Q: Can I get Claptastic Voyage for The Handsome Collection on the ps4?

Patrick SchomburgI bought the disc but can't locate any DLC for claptastic voyage. Is it not available on the ps4?

 
@djsmiley2k A+ is a general hardware and (windows) software knowledge exam.
 
K
Still don't see why it's relevent :D
 
It means you are certified to identify the most common hardware and software issues in a PC as well as having the technical expertise to understand said failures, not simply treat the symptom.
 
I guess you could measure the outputs of each rail
identifying a bad psu
 
7:21 PM
Exactly. That is covered on the exam, you can test the molex connector outputs.
It does note 'DO NOT TEST THE POWER SUPPLY DIRECTLY'
 
Does it cover how to actually power the PSU on?
oh good :)
yeah no resistance is bad times
 
It shows you how to identify where the main switch is, what - and O mean, and that it might be in different parts of different vendors.
And that if the PSU has a fan on one side, don't put that side against the case shell.
 
ok actually sounds semi useful
I revoke my earlier statement
 
Mine was the first test that removed dot matrix printers from the exam.
Ram testing is the one that makes me laugh. "Use memtest"
If it fails, you personally can do nothing.
 
user15026
I like how a lot of the printer section in my 800 series book for the actual troubleshooting was "don't".
 
7:24 PM
Is it a laserjet: Call a pro. Is it a deskjet? Under $50? Throw away/replace. Over $50? Check the ink cartridge. More than one? Reseat the black one. DONE.

Q: Why is my charge blade's shield glowing?

king14nyrI started playing Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate recently. Being a primarily sword & shield user in previous iterations, I wanted to give the Charge Blade a try, as it seems to get most of the benefits of the S&S and add in a better source of damage with axe mode. I understand the basic concepts of u...

 
can't decide between Tomb Raider and The Witness.
 
@Sterno TR 2013?
 
The new one
 
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Dear Lenovo, your website sucks
(that may be due to my work filter)

The page you are looking for no longer exists.
That was a saved configuration I did from their site.

Q: When does the 'Date' occur at Golden Saucer?

djsmiley2kIn FFVII at some point you end up on a 'date' with a member of your team. I'm aiming to go with Barrett and have worked every choice I've made so far to push his affinity as high as possible. However, I've just been told Sephiroth has gone to the temple of ancients and I should head there too - ...

 
@MBraedley i had to tweet them for their tech support number
 
I don't see us buying these servers from them, even if they're much less expensive than Dell.
Mind you, there's another company that is catching my eye, and they're coming in at 50-60% of what the Dells would cost us.
 
user4704
@djsmiley2k iirc you can't miss that sequence
 
@JoshPetrie k, good
 
user4704
You're supposed to have to find a key, I think, to get into the temple, and you have to get it from the saucer (I think that's the forced fight series in the battle arena thing)
 
user4704
7:40 PM
and that leads you to the date.
 
user4704
might be off though, it's been...years.
 
@JoshPetrie ah k
That wa sthe clue about the 'Rich guy' buying it
i thought seporath had it or something
 
The Barrett date is amazing
Damnit now I actually want to get The Witness
 
user15026
7:59 PM
My boss bought me lunch today :D
 
thats nice
 
user15026
It was :) Yesterday was stupid and today one of my coworkers is off (so from 4-8 it will be just me on the phones) so he was like "I figured a nice lunch would not go amiss"
 
i dont understand how people talk on a phone for a job
i cannot stand talking on the phone
 
@Dragonrage If you have a headset it's a lot better.
Everyone needs to drop old phone lines for VOIP, though. The sound quality is so much better it's ludicrous that people still use normal phone lines.
 
when i started at my current job, we went for a company lunch a few days later because someone was leaving
 
user15026
8:04 PM
@StrixVaria You say this likely as someone who has DSL or better internet :P
 
then about 2 months later we went for another when we hired two more people
 
user15026
Trust me rural people still need their phones.
 
i was like wait, where was my welcoming lunch?
 
I had to call my wife with hangouts recently instead of a normal phone call because my sim card was being stupid, and when she answered I was actually thrown off by how clear her voice was.
 
user15026
@StrixVaria Yeah, I've noticed that difference too - I often call my SO on his phone, but we've used hangouts a couple times instead and it is so much clearer. The internet is magic.
 
8:07 PM
WTF Dell? Where's my saved configurations?
 
Dude! You're getting a Dell!
I hope I'm not so old that no one else remembers that.
 
@sternold
 
@Sterno He was arrested for, what, weed possession?
 
I remember those.
And yes. Arrested for exactly what we thought he'd be arrested for.
 
I remember that guy. What a goon
 
8:15 PM
He was mainly there to make highschool age and college age teens/adults think that getting a prebuilt Dell would be great for productivity.
 
Any tips for telling what level a doom2 wad is ?
 
Alright, ordered a second monitor
 
You mean what the level name inside a wad is?
 
Now I'll have two of these
 
8:21 PM
I can't remember what level I told the wad to be on. I made it 20 years ago...
 
It's been like 20 years since I fiddled with DoomCAD. I forget what tools read the inside of a wad to look at the level names.
 
I use deu.
 
Huh, new animated Justice League series with some big name voice actors signing on
 
Should just be a matter of finding the file name inside the wad and forcing a change level to that one...
I can't really research that one from here. Work Filter.
 
Downside is it looks like this:
 
8:22 PM
@Sterno I remember
 
I do NOT like that art style
 
Hooray for being only sort of old instead of MAXIMUM OLDERDRIVE
 
But they've got Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill signed on... hm...
 
@MadMAxJr Oh, I got it, "look at opened wads". Thanks. Level 11 ;p
 
user15026
@twobugs Me neither :(
 
8:23 PM
But Superman looks like such a smug asshole on that poster
 
user15026
But then again I've not really interacted with most superhero things, so I don't nkow how much my opinion counts
 
As far as art goes, I think anyone is allowed to say "I don't like that art"
If you ever want to check out superhero stuff, the recent-ish Justice League and Justice League Unlimited series were stellar
 
@twobugs E-surance-art.

How do I stream my PC's gameplay footage with as low latency as possible? Quality isn't that important, neither is framerate as it is a sl...

 
8:32 PM
lifehacks, dodge skillshots by dying
 
user15026
@Dragonrage the dying makes it not a lifehack, because then it's not improving your life.
 
@AshleyNunn hmm true. just a general hack then.
 
@djsmiley2k I can, still need someone?
 
the eulcs caster just said a guy dodged a skillshot because he was already dead
 
oui
starting around 9pm @twobugs
so get on now, 25min to go
we might start early anyway
 
8:42 PM
Normal or hard? I've cleared both :P
Just determines which character I'll bring
 
normal
 
You shouldn't be able to just stand next to a giant spider robot for a whole fight without getting squashed
 
There is one advantage to working from home, at least for an afternoon: I can have a beer, and nobody knows.

Q: How do i testfor a player using a water bucket with scoreboards?

RaysetI'm making a map and i need a way to test if the player uses a water bucket. I tried /scoreboard objectives add stat.useItem362 and /testfor @a[score__min=1]. Did i do anything wrong?

 
@Ohnana changed pass, logged out every device
Also about to contact spotify.
 
get moar passwrd
y no one watching :(
 
user15026
9:10 PM
I'm at work, so that's not a thing I can do :(
 
You know what is the worst?
The person in my account remove my playlists.
My playlists which I created by listening to hours for months!
All my saved songs were replaced with explicit raps :(
 
sounds like a troll rather than a hack
either that or you are looking at someone else's account
 
People do this for money, y'now.
 
@ardaozkal wooooow that's rude
 
They just steal accounts and sell them for cents.
 
9:14 PM
oh
yeah that's been going on forever
 
@djsmiley2k die less
 
Quick google can find many of thme.
 
@ardaozkal When you contact spotify you should see if they can roll back the playlist changes
 
@GodEmperorDune Probably mine, the Discover Weekly is still the same.
@SaintWacko that'd be nice actually
I'll do that
And I'll ask them to remove that cRap (pun intended) removed from my previously-listened list, or my next Discover Weekly will be full of rap.
 
Okay, I'm calling it, I'm done work, even though I should be working for another hour or so.
 
9:19 PM
@ardaozkal they wouldn't make it if someone didn't like it
 
@GodEmperorDune then they should implement a brute-force check.
Or well, suspicious login check.
 
well spotify's security clearly needs work
 
Heuristics: New device? New country? Block account and ask owner to unblock via mail.
Maybe I shoulda had trolled with the hacker...
Playing friday and rick astley through Spotify Remote.
 
user15026
@ardaozkal That strikes me as a potentially bad idea.
 
@Ohnana that'd be nice.

@MBraedley Hmmm?
 
Landlord is replacing all my counter tops on Monday, so they have to be clear of everything. And I'm spending the weekend hanging out with friends.
 
9:29 PM
And that's all the notice he gave you?
Man
 
user15026
@MBraedley Hurray....
 
Technically, they only need to give 24hrs
 
@MBraedley looks like your friends are going to help clear your counter tops
 
@GodEmperorDune No, they're not coming here, I'm going to one of their places.
 
@MBraedley oh, ouch
 
9:31 PM
As in my evening has just turned into an unexpected (although much needed) cleanup effort.
 
on the bright side, you'll have new countertops soon
 
"I'm good at video games" - @twobugs - 2016, shortly before wiping
 
@djsmiley2k where is your PhD now @twobugs
 
@GodEmperorDune The current ones are fine. Sure, they're probably from the '90s, but they were at least caulked along the backboard relatively recently. I'd much rather they replace the cabinets, which are also from the '90s.
 
@MBraedley but the cabinets would probably be more difficult to prep for
because then you need to empty the cabinets too
 
9:34 PM
@GodEmperorDune I still need to empty some of the cabinets...
 
ouch
well i'm done looking for a silver lining
 
and my medicine cabinet, which I might not be getting back
 
Oh, and I'm probably giving my notice to quit in a month

@GodEmperorDune It was more I didn't see it anywhere so I assumed I couldn't.
 
yeah its not that intuitive
are you getting the batman and/or robin?
still I like KoL support. They've been very nice when i've opened tickets
 
Augh, is the combat snowman still available?
Just realized that I haven't played at all this month. D:
 
yes
people are saying it is OP, but I'm not sure how
 
9:59 PM
Scaling monsters are always great for speedruns.
 
Although I'm more interested in the ability to level aftercore stuff faster.
Wait, what's going on with the IotYs?
The Robin looks f--in' amazing.
Fairy + Volleyball?
Yes, please.
 
WOULD EAT
I like that there's clearly an order of fries with it

@Sterno Are those cheese sticks on it?
 
Yes

@GodEmperorDune Yeah, that was the politest "no it's your inability to notice things" notice I have ever gotten :)

@Yuuki i would love to but probably won't have time :(
 
We could do it next weekend instead.

Looking at the module, maybe 2 hours.
More or less depending on choices and how fast combat goes.

@Dragonrage what's this, a JOKER?!
i do like that the batfellow IOTY is only $1 but then i get sad that it's single use
 
user15026
Can I buy more than one?
 
@AshleyNunn yes
you can buy ALL of them!
i mean technically there is an infinite supply during 2016 but you know what i mean

Sweet.
 
user15026
Co-worker just handed me one of the routers we deploy after I asked him a bunch of questions and was like "okay you need to learn. This is yours now. Learn it, love it, break it a few hundred times til you know all it's secrets." Which...is rather great.
