@ardaozkal so this website tracks the specific bundle prices for you personally?
 
Nope, I plan to do that too though.
 
user15026
so how does it track them?
 
I am confused as well.
Is it just a listing of all of the bundles currently on Steam?
 
@Fluttershy yes.
Currently it gets the discount amount for that bundle only. Not any better than arethereanydeals, however, I have the data and power to allow personal tracking, just not the time. 2am, NAPTIME.
yep, I have the data.
naptime
 
user15026
@ardaozkal discount amount based on??
 
12:09 AM
no carbs/sweets is a hard diet, but i shall prevail
munches on veggies
 
I think?
 
yep
 
so you have reimplemented part of the steam UI?
 
I'll add mailing support too, something steam doesn't do (you can't wishlish bundles).
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune sounds like
 
12:11 AM
i'm sorry @ardaozkal i don't see the value add for this
 
I'm too sleepy to explain.
 
Can you ping me in 10 minutes so I'll see it in the morning and will reply?
gnight bridge, for real this time hopefully

Q: I've tried turning off the synchronization for steam cloud and re enabling it, but the question mark on the cloud icon is still there, what do i do?

huehueThe question mark on the cloud icon on steam is still there after I disabled steam cloud and i re enabled this,what does this mean?

 
Oh hello Taxonomist tag
For of all things
 
12:52 AM
I tried to get into Candy Crush. It just felt way too random after the first few levels
And there were like 19283761438971314 levels
 
user15026
Thats generally the problem with those style games
 
Ooooh, the Crusade rewards are great (but "Crusade"... doesn't really feel pirate-y)
 
user15026
@twobugs I'm not strong enough for most of the events yet
 
user15026
(like I said before I love the game but I usually end up playing it before bed and invariably fall teh fuck asleep)
 
I barely do the events but this one just unlocks by player level. It's really lucrative and I recommend doing it asap
Each battle is netting me like 500g and the first chest just got me over 1k
 
user15026
12:57 AM
ooooh thats awesome
 
What are you playing?
 
Pirate Power, this cool mobile game
 
user15026
It's quite fun. It's got a good sense of humor and there are pirates and you build ships and fight stuff

Q: Summary to storyline of Battlefield 4?

Toby CannonI've never played Battlefield 4, however can someone please provide me with a brief summary of the storyline of the campaign on the game?

 
@Chippies The Culling is $14.99 full price on Steam, so saying that $13.49 is "75% off" is kind of a blatant lie.
 
That question has a close vote as "too broad", but that doesn't seem to make sense
Wednesday I'm probably going to buy a car. This is weird.
 
@StrixVaria It's $17
 
> Buy The Culling
$14.99
copy/pasted from steam
 
1:41 AM
American/Canadian price difference I imagine
 
Oh right.
In any case, it's not nearly $60.
So that site is full of shit.
 
@StrixVaria It's added The Culling and Lichdom together in the price, and then taking 75% off of it, apparently.
 
I think they mean the bundle is 75% off overall, but it's a very bad way of wording things
 
@Fluttershy Then it shouldn't say "free game".
 
Because if they're taking 75% off the total price, yeah...
 
1:43 AM
I would rather pay $1.50 more to deny that site a sale.
 
@StrixVaria Bundlestars are non-scummy. Just bad wording.
 
And not get a game with shit reviews that I wouldn't play anyway.
 
Eh I've heard the combat was fun but the game just felt empty
Paragon says it's installing but it must be downloading because I can't even use my internet right now
 
@GnomeSlice Once you actually launch it, there's even more to download.
 
thats the part im on
 
1:45 AM
Not nearly as long, though.
 
idk i watched a whole episode of orphan blacl and it's not done
 
Weird.
 
97% now
also APPARENTLY I don't have all of season 1
i rewatched it so i could finally watch season 2
wtf why does it show my psn name and not my epicgames name
WHY
fuck! did i set it up wrong?
oh apparently sony requires thr psn name be shown
UGH
 
@ardaozkal ping about the steam bundle server thing and what is the value add
 
Is there a tutorial for this or what
 
2:00 AM
@GnomeSlice nah sony is just programmed by a bunch of drunk teenagers
no offense @uni
 
@AshleyNunn Apparently I repaired your boat?
 
@SaintWacko oh is there a friends thing in the pirate game?
 
@GodEmperorDune There was a shipwreck icon on the map with the name "Ashley N." on it, and when I tapped it it told me to tap the three ship parts to repair her boat
 
@SaintWacko wat
 
And I got a pearl thing that will increase the health of my hull

Q: Where do I find all the artifacts in Stardew Valley?

Jonah BishopI'm trying to collect all the artifacts in Stardew Valley, but I'm missing a number of them. I seem to have exhausted the supply of new artifacts from worms (the ones you dig up with a hoe), as I keep getting ones I've already seen. Where else do I find artifacts? I've gotten a few from treasure ...

 
@GnomeSlice No. I assume there will be at launch, but so far I've had to figure everything out through trial/error and knowing how MOBAs work.
If you have any questions, I'll try my best to answer them, although I'm hardly an expert yet.
 
lol, i got wood from some crabs
this pirate game is fun @AshleyNunn
 
It really is
Are there repeatable missions?
Or is there just this storyline?
 
now i got wood from the monkis
 
@StrixVaria still working controls. combat is funner than I expected
feels like an mmo
 
2:09 AM
Yeah, I can see that.
Remember about L2+X to go fast while out of combat.
It's on the control reminder screen but it's easy to forget about.
 
@GodEmperorDune Dude, TMI
 
yeah it took me a min to figure that one out
 
The card system is really strange too, so once you play a few games and grasp the basics there are a few gotchas.
 
There's a card system?
I thought this was a FPS MOBA?
 
lol rampage is floating around with his arms up and his legs not moving
nice and alpha
@StrixVaria gotchas?
 
2:13 AM
@Yuuki TPS MOBA. Instead of items you have a "deck" of "cards".
@GnomeSlice Like, if you discard a card, it's just gone.
You can't use it again that game.
 
oh
fuck
also whats ward cooldown
 
I'm not too sure about ward-stuff in this game yet, because warding isn't that useful against bots.
I've been playing 1 game as each char against bots only to try to get a grasp for what everyone does.
 
why does the guy keep saying EPIC
yea im playing bots
what is warding
 
A ward is an item that you put on a spot on the map, and it gives you vision there for as long as it survives.
 
like a camera?
 
2:17 AM
I don't know the specific mechanics in this game, but they often only exist for a certain time limit, like 3-5 minutes.
 
@SaintWacko now i got wood from axl
 
These games have fog of war like RTS games.
You can't see things that you don't have an allied unit near.
 
user15026
@SaintWacko Aww thanks :)
 
In LoL where you can pan your camera around, it gives you full vision if you happen to be looking there, plus vision on the minimap.
 
user15026
@SaintWacko There are repeatable missions kinda - like you can go back to areas and do them on harder difficulties
 
2:18 AM
In Paragon, it looks more like it's just the minimap since you can't move the camera away from your character.
 
user15026
There are also like weekly missions and things
 
idek how to read the minimap
 
The minimap in Paragon is balls.
I get lost the instant I step foot in the jungle.
Within the lane it's fine.
 
@StrixVaria some jungler you are :p
 
I'm starting to spend time in each game specifically stepping into the jungle to get better at navigating it.
@GodEmperorDune Jungling was always my least favorite role in LoL.
 
2:21 AM
yeah the jungle things are smallerthan your icon
 
many people have tried to explain to me what a "jungler" is/does and i still have no idea
 
I have played jungle in LoL 5 or fewer times total in all 500+ games I've played.
@GodEmperorDune Are you actually interested in knowing or is it more fun having the fun fact that it goes over your head?
 
@StrixVaria i'm interested in why it's called a jungler
as opposed to some other real verbed noun
 
@GodEmperorDune MOBA maps have 3 "lanes" which is where minions run down and fight and stuff, where most of the action is centered.
 
@GodEmperorDune Hey, me too!
 
2:23 AM
yeah i understand the lanes
 
There is space between the lanes, to physically separate them so that moving between them takes time, so it's a strategic decision about what lane to be in.
The space between the lanes is called the "jungle".
It probably got that name because in DotA, the first MOBA, it's full of trees and hostile exotic monsters.
 
so a "jungler" hangs out in the in-between spaces?
 
So the "jungler" is the person who spends the majority of his time killing those monsters in the jungle, rather than going to a specific lane.
 
well damn that makes much more sense
 
im going to call him tarzan instead
the hell is an inhibitor
 
2:25 AM
@GnomeSlice Each lane in Paragon has 2 towers and an inhibitor.
If you're walking down the lane and you get past all your team's shit.
The first 2 buildings are towers, and the third is the inhibitor.
When you kill a tower, the orbs you collect give everyone on your team CXP, and the absence of the tower gives your team a positional advantage on the map.
When you kill an inhibitor, instead of giving your team CXP, it powers up all your minions in that lane.
The inhibitors respawn after a time; looks to be about 3 minutes in Paragon.
The towers never respawn.
The beefed up minions in your lane when you kill the inhibitor put extra pressure on the other team to defend, because if left unchecked they're strong enough to kill the core.
 
user15026
Okay, Borderlands is pretty fun
 
user15026
I am not very stellar at it
 
oh, huh
 
user15026
but I am managing okay.
 
user15026
(I mean my aiming is all over the place and I have died a bunch but whatever)
 
2:27 AM
@AshleyNunn so you gut all of us hooked on the pirate game while you play borderlands? :p
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune Apparently!
 
user15026
Although I love that you guys are loving the pirate game
 
user15026
I like knowing people are playing the same stuff as me!
 
user15026
And the game is really fun.
 
Is this a mobile game, because I've been looking for something other than Minesweeper to while away the time on the train.
 
2:29 AM
@StrixVaria yes, but i think it needs connectivity
 
@GodEmperorDune I have that for most of the trip.
 
@StrixVaria Ramble planet
 
@AshleyNunn is it better to buy all the upgrades or save up coins for buying other things?
 
@GnomeSlice I'll try it.
I'm going to bed, but someone ping me the name of this pirate game so I can install it when I wake up.
Later!
 
@StrixVaria pirate power
 
user15026
2:31 AM
@GodEmperorDune I find with how the levels and stuff scale I tend to need the upgrades
 
user15026
although I keep trying to save for the pearl thing
 
user15026
Stupid question - I am looking at my equipped stuff, and some gun names are green - what does that mean
 
@AshleyNunn Rarity/quality.
 
@AshleyNunn probably relative item rarity or quality
 
Basically, green guns tend to be better than white guns.
And blue guns tend to be better than green guns.
 
2:37 AM
@Yuuki racism
 
@GodEmperorDune No, that's sexist. Get it right.
@AshleyNunn So you're playing the first Borderlands?
 
@Yuuki oh, k
 
Stupid question, I have Steam, I can look at my friends list.
 
user15026
@Yuuki Yeah, I am
 
user15026
and I am not nearly as bad at it as I expected I'd be
 
2:48 AM
@AshleyNunn Ooh, yay!
Such an amazing game
Also, is there a certain thing to do to find Black Rock?
 
@Unionhawk "Oh, shit, the public has turned against us! Abort abort abort!"
They really don't want the precedent set that Apple doesn't have to help them.
 
I don't think they're really interested in the development of such things if they can get in through other means
 
@Unionhawk They were pretty sure they could get the public to side with them on this one.
Now that public sentiment isn't going their way, and there's a risk of the judge ruling against them, they needed some way to dump the case without setting a precedent.
 
It may surprise you to hear that the Internet is an echo chamber, but there are people who believe that all efforts should be made to perform a terror investigation
And the internet is an echo chamber of people who understand the implications behind such things
 
I'm...not following.
 
3:17 AM
Let me put it this way: some people disagree with you
(and, incidentally, me)
(and, incidentally, a lot of the internet)
 
The FBI are clearly wrong about this.
So if that means you disagree with me, then I'm okay with that.
 
...
 
There are greater things at stake here than unlocking a single phone.
 
I know that, you know that, we know that
 
user15026
@Frank I think we can all agree on that
 
3:20 AM
Regardless of whether or not the FBI and the people who agree with the FBI are wrong/fail to see the consequences, they do in fact exist
that is
 
@Unionhawk Misleading questions get misleading answers.
 
@Unionhawk Oh god, don't reference that "study"
 
user15026
@Frank I think that's a very broad conclusion.
 
@AshleyNunn When the FBI made a public statement to the tune of, "Yeah, we'll never get that backdoor now, but we just need to wait for the right public tragedy, and try again", I'm not really seeing much of a broad conclusion.
Wait, no, that wasn't the FBI. My bad.
 
Except their motion specifically mentions that they may not even need help so
 
user15026
3:25 AM
Yeah, if they are now saying they have other means, then it's not the same as your statement, @Frank
 
@AshleyNunn I'm not really inclined to give the FBI the benefit of a doubt here.
If they had other means, they should've tried those long before dragging Apple into a very public court case.
 
user15026
@Frank That's a whole different matter, though.
 
user15026
@Frank Or you know, they might have just discovered said other means?
 
@Frank They were doing such things at the same time
 
user15026
Neither of us are teh FBI, neither of us have access to the info or how they found it
 
user15026
3:27 AM
so making large brush assumptions like that makes no sense
 
They've had a history of keeping these requests under seal until now.
This was supposed to be the public case that put public pressure on Apple to bend to their will.
 
They don't even currently know if said means work, they're required to submit a status report by 4/5
 
There was NO reason to file this one publically, otherwise.
 
user15026
I'm not going to argue this with you
 
user15026
It strikes me as one of those times where no matter what's said, you've decided a thing
 
3:28 AM
@Frank Because this was not a FISA court request
 
user15026
So instead I'm going to go make some juice and find my book
 
Those are the ones that are sealed from literally everyone
 
@Unionhawk And why wasn't it? Could've been, just as easily as the others.

Q: How to test vulkan api in Nvidia GT 630M?

kiranI am really excited about vulkan api support by new nvidia graphics drivers. I have downloaded some of the vulkan examples provided by nvidia, but couldn't run them in this rig. My rig: nvidia gt 630M 1gb 12 gb ram intel i5 3rd gen Any help on testing this api on my rig is much appreciated.

 
@Frank It's not really surveillance if the target is deceased, is it?
 
3:31 AM
@Unionhawk That's a good point, although I'm not sure that's their logic.
 
Their logic has pretty much always been "we have this thing, we need the key to unlock this thing to search it"
 
@Unionhawk I'm not inclined to take that at face value.
Due to them needing Apple's help because of their own incompetence.
 
I mean, the device was encrypted, what do you want?
They're not wizards
 
Talk to the NSA?
Who, y'know, is generally the first line of government spying and technical knowledge?
 
Bulk collection is no longer a thing
 
3:34 AM
Who said this had anything to do with bulk collection?
 
Well, as far as I can tell, the NSA can't break it either
 
My thoughts are that if the FBI thought there was a chance they could get their court-ordered custom backdoor, they would continue to pursue it regardless of other option made available to them.
 
@Unionhawk It's more that the NSA isn't really concerned with the FBI's objectives and has no intention of revealing its capabilities (or lack thereof)
 
@TimStone Probably
 
3:44 AM
Plus there's always been a theoretically practical solution, just one that requires a proven technique to minimize the chance of destruction of the device. That's probably what they're going ahead with now, since they anticipate losing
The bigger concern is the number of other similar cases that haven't gotten as much attention
 
@TimStone There's still that precedent from Orenstein's case.
 
So hopefully it's not ultimately a "Look over there!" tactic
 
Think I spelled his name right.

@AshleyNunn Boaty McBoatface, a name truly worthy of belonging to a cutting edge research vessel! :D

user15026
4:20 AM
that said, though, I can see a clear "lets close it as unclear" because of the tag vs question title problem
 
hmm yea i suppose. because he doesnt mention which nfs and uses the diablo tag

Oh, it wasn't getting OT votes
 
user15026
it was getting unclear votes
 
user15026
that makes perfect sense to me
 
user15026
Not sure why Alex was saying it was getting OT votes
 
4:22 AM
i cant see that yet. just a comment saying flag for OT
 
user15026
@Dragonrage Yeah, I really don't understand the logic in that comment tbh
 
well, i just need 297 more rep to see close votes i think
