3:00 PM
Canada is a state of mind, man.
 
and by poisonous I mean mostly lethal. Something having to do with the body developing an immune response to it after having assumed it once
 
@Derpy Huh, that's interesting. I wonder what mushroom that is...
 
And where you can buy 2 of it?
 
@fredley nope. Just at work, making up elaborate lies.
 
There was a possibility of me taking a short UK trip for a while but that doesn't seem likely anymore
 
3:04 PM
@Wipqozn :(
):
:(
🙁
☹️
 
@fredley I share your sorrow. I do want to visit Europe at some point in my Life, but I'd like to see more of Canada first. I rarely travel, though.
 
@Wipqozn Travelling is great
 
@Wipqozn booooring, come to the netherlands!
 
The last time I left the province was in middle school
 
Speaking as someone who has visited many countries, and also Canada: prioritise travel outside of Canada first
@Wipqozn wat
 
3:06 PM
If I decided to travel to Europe I would decide my location based on which Bridge members love me the most
 
And then not go there because you're a troll?
 
@fredley I haven't even seen much of my own province.
Like I said, not much of a traveler.
 
@twobugs I am actually trying to find that info just to prove myself I actually saw that in an article. I remember it begin some medicine site but nothing more.
 
I spent a year in the UK when I was really young. My dad had a fellowship in Cambridge
 
@twobugs wow, that's cool
 
3:08 PM
Yeah, I was 4 years old so I don't remember too much of it but it was neat
Lots of great historical sites like castles
 
Yeah, Britain's got a pretty high castle density
 
Moon Hunters comes out in a week
 
@GnomeSlice What's that?
 
@GnomeSlice WHAT
 
3:11 PM
@Fluttershy March 10
 
That looks awesome
I'd need people to play it with though
 
@GnomeSlice maaaaaaaaan... Right after The Division? ;-;
 
Basically RPG Gauntlet
 
The concept art looks super cool and the actual in-game stuff is great
Definitely hyped for this
 
3:13 PM
They made Shattered Planet so I'm still a little wary
SP was fun, but really felt like a missed opportunity
Although $15 is very reasonable so take that with a grain of salt
Also was fun on mobile
Kitfox are great devs
> Q: Can I make Let’s Play videos of Shattered Planet and monetize them?
A: Absolutely. Please tell us about it so we can promote ya. And don’t forget to monetize up the wazoo.

Q: What are the best AD burst items in League of Legends?

WhiteLardI am looking for items, bought for AD Champions, that either increase AD by a decent amount, or have some sort of active effect. Thank You!

 
Speaking of great devs... I got to chat with the co-founder of Red Hook Games last night.
 
@Fluttershy chat where?
Awesome
 
@GnomeSlice Twitch. A streamer I follow was doing Darkest Dungeon runs last night, and he hung out in chat with us and watched.
It was really neat.
 
Wow, awesome
 
3:17 PM
Also found a bug in the process, so that was fun.
 
@GnomeSlice I see it and want to think Dwarf Fortress Adventure Mode With Actual UI, but there is a voice in the back of my head that screams "Indiana Jones Desktop Adventure". I will wait for you to be our guinea pig -_-'
 
@Fluttershy I'd love to hear about how those guys discovered Wayne June and what it was like to work with him.
 
@MadMAxJr Me too, now that you mention it. Because he did a fantastic job.
 
@Fluttershy Are you some famous streamer? Or did he just stumble upon your stream?
 
Either way, I need to play more Darkest Dungeon
 
I'd pay good money for Wayne June to do a dramatic reading of the MLP intro.
"There was a time in this wretched castle that I would ponder what friendship was like."
 
@MadMAxJr This is going to be some sort of Monkey's Paw wish where he does that but your ears explode before you can hear it
 
Oh, the Direct isn't for another couple of hours.
I thought it was half an hour ago like other Directs.
 
DAMMIT @Yuuki YOU HAD ONE JOB
 
3:32 PM
> Falling from a virtual height cannot kill you. By using the Vive, you indemnify the company for any responsibility for virtual-height-induced heart attacks.
(may not actually be in their EULA)
 
Yeah, that's why I don't want to see anything like Vive + Alien: Isolation.
 
They're able to use VR to treat PTSD, but it makes you wonder if VR will ever get to the point where it's actually able to cause PTSD in some users

Q: Can a missed shot still execute?

David YellIf you have a weapon which has both a Repeater and a Stock attached to it. Is there any chance that a missed shot will trigger the Repeater? My assumption is that it will not as the actual shot did not hit, and the Repeater requires a hit in order to trigger, but it's a guess. Reference: Weapon...

 
@twobugs I wasn't streaming. I was watching someone else stream. But I wouldn't call him a famous streamer. He has maybe 200 viewers a night?
 
@twobugs did it involve snow management ? (lamest joke of the day achievement unlocked)
 
3:38 PM
@Fluttershy Oh, I misread. That's still roughly 30x my peak (for some reason I peaked at 7**!!!!** viewers while streaming Undertale)
Meh, I don't care enough to edit that
 
@twobugs Hey, I pinned the Movie Night meta.
 
But, to answer your question, I'd say he just decided to drop in for fun. I know Red Hook and their audio team did a big thing for Twitch streamers. Had Wayne June record a ton of audio for people streaming the game. So now, when he gets a new subscriber, Wayne June announces it. :3
 
Not my fault @badp decided to make a Community Wiki pin.
 
That's super awesome
 
3:39 PM
That was cute
 
@Fluttershy I've heard his readings of The Call of Cthulhu and The Dunwich Horror. He's just got a certain tone that is perfect for these things.
 
It doesn't look bad, per say, but it doesn't look great either.
 
@MadMAxJr I would be very interested in hearing those.
 
Unfortunately the source CDs are a little hard to find.
 
@MadMAxJr Where'd you find them? I saw listings on Amazon but it was like $80 for the audio which is insane
 
3:45 PM
"The Dark Worlds of HP Lovecraft" series of audio CDs. Which a few are /absurdly/ priced for second hand.
I acquired a bootleg from a shady merchant vessel that was docked at the bay harbor.
 
"Quality Elder God. Never used. Fell off a truck."
 
I wonder if he has them on his official site.
 
Also the guy taught me the correct way to pronounce "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"
R'lyeh sounds like Rue-yay.
His websites look like they're from 1999 sadly
 
@Yuuki looks good to me
 
Awww... come-on The Daily Show, you're doing an Inside Out scetch on the inside of Trevor Noah's head and you couldn't get Lewis Black to play anger?!
 
@TrentHawkins weak
 
Hey YouTube, can I just filter all Trump stuff off my page?
 
I definitely see lego in this machine
wtf
Those little pegs on the wheel
Wow that's actually a great idea
using those
Instant quantizing
 
I really like that he did a whole series on building it.
 
@Fluttershy Did he??
 
4:04 PM
@GnomeSlice Yeah. It was in the related videos for me when I watched it last night.
Though, I was sleep deprived and super tired, so I may have hallucinated it.
 
@Fluttershy No, looks like he did

Q: What happens if multiple teammates 3-star an enemy in a war?

UserIf your clan is wining like 20-3, and you have 1 attack left, can you put it on a base that someone else has already attacked, and get bonus loot? How many times can bonus loot be claimed on a single base? Can different team mates attack the same base and all 3 star it and get the loot?

 
@gnome that trump post is disturbing. I've hidden your posts until I'm sure it's gone.
 
@twobugs Near mint? Do I get to return them if staring at them does not induce madness?
 
Yes, Insanity Guaranteed! (TM)
Our prices on Elder Gods and Elder God Utilities will make you think WE'VE failed our sanity checks!
Someone broke the server and I'm pretty sure it wasn't me this time!
 
4:19 PM
That's how Trump would look as an Undertale monster.
 
Okay, server is super broken. This is definitely not my fault
 
@Arperum get it because he's all mouth
ah nevermind, sorry
 
That image was moderately horrifying

Q: Improving FPS issues during raids

mazeemI have noticed me as well as many other players get a ton of performance and FPS issues (lag, freezes, etc) when they are part of a raid on a world boss (blackwrym, poh, mm). Are there any settings I can use to help alleviate this issue other than CTRL + F to hide player characters?

 
What's horrifying is how he's still in the race.
 
4:22 PM
It's still a really funny joke
It's gone from a landscape 1920x1080
btw
 
Still on my 1920x1200
Almost gone...
Oh neat, Twilight Princess HD shipped!
 
1920x1200 is a stupid resolution
 
@twobugs one can do better.
 
try living in 1440 x 900
 
4:28 PM
 
@Derpy 10/10
 
@Unionhawk Better than 1080p, honestly
 
@Unionhawk 1080x1920 is a great resolution
 
the effect of Google Deep Dream on Lovecraft-themed pictures is always great.
 
The extra vertical space is helpful. 1080 is a motion picture standard - there's no reason why computers need to follow
 
4:29 PM
I think he would have loved it
 
@Derpy spoopy
 
(which reminds me I should try the Rare Dream version)
 
Okay it's probably gone from all resolutions now

@PrivatePansy 2560x1080 is a great resolution, but it all depends on what you're using it for
 
4:32 PM
@PrivatePansy If your screen can rotate, I highly recommend it
I have that right now
So good for reading
 
extra vertical space is great for reading, browsing websites and programming, but extra horizontal space is great for movies and gaming
extra horizontal space is great for multitasking with only one monitor as well
 
@Unionhawk It's the native res of my work monitors
 
@Chippies Yeah
 
I've had my chrome split into two windows ever since I bought this 21:9 monitor
it's great
 
I think I'd rather have two monitors than a 21:9 monitor
 
4:35 PM
@twobugs ultrawide is better on games imo
 
@twobugs for productivity? sure. For gaming? 21:9 is much much better than having two bezels in the center of your vision
 
No you play games on one monitor and have Bridge on the other
 
I'd really only use one monitor for gaming, and I haven't been impressed with the ultrawide support I've seen
 
You fool
 
@twobugs have you used an ultrawide monitor?
the support is lacking in a handful of AAA titles
 
4:37 PM
No, but I've read a bit about it
 
oddly enough, indie games support ultrawide more than AAA's do
there's not very many games that I have had issues with ultrawide
 
That actually doesn't surprise me, for indie games you're not pushing performance as much so making alterations to the rendering area isn't as 'costly'
 
and if there's issues, it's usually the UI not rendering past the 16:9 area
 
@Chippies I'unno, but might be because AAA titles use their own engines more often, and premade engines that most indies use support it.
 
which isn't much of an issue
 
4:38 PM
It doesn't matter. Your game won't work for one person and that person will post how you are literally Hitler on the steam discussion forums.
 
@ardaozkal some of the AAA title engines are just ancient
cough Fallout 4
 
@fredley Those are expensive though. Which is strange because the bits of plastic on the back of the screen should be the cheapest part of the monitor
 
I mean, I'd rather target 1080p or 1200p and have a solid 60fps with high/max settings
 
DAE remember that whole thing where apparently the Creation Engine has physics calculations tied to framerate?
 
But product differentiation, eh...
 
4:39 PM
@Chippies yes. Even Source has quake code in it. I wonder if Source 2 does.
 
@twobugs the only thing you need to do to support 21:9 is have UI scale regardless of aspect ratio
 
@PrivatePansy It's more than that, the optics need to be subtely different for it to work
 
if your game supports 4:3, it should support 21:9
 
Right, but 21:9, especially at the resolution you're describing is a Lot Of Pixels
 
4:40 PM
some games do the right thing and letterbox in cutscenes
 
Is it because of the RGB stripes?
 
Well everyone knows players on 4:3 monitors in CS have an advantage
 
@PrivatePansy On cheap panels you can get away with non-square sub/pixels, this doesn't work so well if you want to rotate
 
@Unionhawk Yeah I hate widescreen because you see less </sarcasm>
 
@twobugs it's not though, 2560x1080 (21:9) is less pixels than 2560x1440 (16:9)
 
4:41 PM
I'm not talking about 2560x1440
 
I have 2560x1440, it's a pretty good resolution
 
@twobugs not really sure what pixel count has to do with support anyway though?
 
@Chippies It doesn't, they're entirely separate points
 
@MBraedley Mix of Crokinole, table shuffle puck, and dice. I want this.
 
but... then... okay?..
 
4:42 PM
I listed multiple reasons why I'm preferring dual monitors and you're arguing with me. I'm not really sure why.
 
@twobugs you seem bad at segues, because pretty sure you were telling me why games don't/shouldn't support 21:9
 
I didn't say anything like that at all
 
I prefer a second monitor, mainly because upgrading my primary is not an option
 
@twobugs must've been a misunderstanding then
 
4:44 PM
I wish I had a second monitor. :(
 
either way, targeting 60 fps at 1080p these days is really simple and 2560x1080 is very achievable as well
I get 60+ fps in pretty much everything I throw at my MSI R9 390
and while it's not an entry level gpu, it does provide an incredibly good performance per dollar
 
I just personally see much need for that much more horizontal space on one display. Two windows makes for a logical break for me
 
@twobugs yeah, as I said, multiple monitors is better for most things, except for movies (21:9 is a common ratio for movies) and gaming
 
Nobody can be happy unless their games are projected on a full IMAX screen.
 
I want all my games shot on 70mm film
 
4:46 PM
You pick.
 
somehow
 
@MadMAxJr Projectors tend to have poor contrast and response time
 
once you get used to gaming in 21:9, running games in 16:9 feels like running games in 4:3
 
@Unionhawk I'll shoot you you on 70mm film

Q: My TF2 is kinda messed up i need help

Dr.Sheldon-MemerWhen attempting to taunt it starts taunting with a weapon.Weapon knows to be messed up sometimes.Or even it happened once that i have seen a spy holding minigun instead of butterfly knife it was just weird.Is it because of sv_pure or what ??

 
@ardaozkal the bezels tho :/ Not to mention the dual-gpu config required to run that
 
@ardaozkal I can't wait to get one of these
 
@ardaozkal Nobody is talking about multi-monitor gaming though?
 
@SaintWacko So can't I.
 
It's just you and chippies who both prefer ultra wide
 
4:47 PM
@ardaozkal I have the 25" version of that
 
2 mins ago, by two bugs
I just personally see much need for that much more horizontal space on one display. Two windows makes for a logical break for me

AWS

Proposed Q&A site for professionals using AWS - Amazon Web Services cloud.

Closed before being launched.

 
it's pretty small, but the price was very reasonable
 
Hardware here is expensive
 
@ardaozkal If you're not even going to read my arguments don't try to "own" me
That's a little pro-tip.
 
4:48 PM
The markup is high enough that I can buy things from America cheaper than here even when shipping is taken into account
 
How long will it be before there aren't monitors any more?
 
Everybody knows that game on one monitor anything else on secondary monitors is the objectively correct usage of multimonitor gaming
 
Right now I have two of these
 
@fredley 2036
 
Just have a VR display
@Unionhawk ok
 
4:49 PM
If you spend so much time trying to 1-up someone you don't even listen to what they're saying you are doing it wrong and making a fool of yourself.
 
@twobugs I know everyone has their preferences, but I would suggest trying it out someday if possible, because it has to be experienced first hand to fully appreciate it
 
But eventually I'd like to get one of those big curved qhd monitors to go between them
 
@fredley Let's get images beamed into our brains from tiny pink laser beams bouncing off satellites
 
@PrivatePansy How Can Monitors Be Real If Our Eyes Arent Real?
 
@Chippies I'll look into it, it's been a while. I'm just skeptical that it would really exceed the benefits of dual monitors for me (although I haven't done much gaming with a dual set-up)
 
4:50 PM
@twobugs well, I mean, you can still use a dual monitor setup with the 21:9 :P
have one 21:9 and one 16:9
it's what I would do if I had more desk space...
 
Ultra-ultra wide screen?
 
@SaintWacko that is ultra cheap. 10/10 would buy 2
 
@Chippies This is the path to madness my friend
 
Nobody has that big of a desk
 
@Chippies I think if you have that many screens it would be better to stack them vertically
 
4:51 PM
Unless you work at Apple and your desk is one of those Apple Store display tables
 
:D
@PrivatePansy if you have the means to do it, then definitely
but that would require a monitor arm or something
 
@Chippies Dat FOV
 
@Chippies I like how the third screen is %100 the right side of the gun.
 
I don't see the appeal of FoVs significantly larger than games were designed for, particularly shooters
 
4:54 PM
Yeah pretty much
 
@twobugs it's amazing in 3rd person games though
it's nice in fps's as well, but it makes a huge difference in 3rd person games
and racing games as well
 
@Chippies Okay, that looks nice
 
and diablo 3
 
@Chippies Sure, I'll grant you that
 
@Chippies neat
 
4:55 PM
@Chippies Any larger and you could use those screens as a tanning bed
 
I can't stand bezels in multimonitor settings tho :/
 
:27991644 At least you didn't do a @RedTubeX
 
@Chippies Like I said, the objectively correct setup is game on one monitor, bridge on other
3
 
I don't like bezels interrupting the image but whatever. I wonder if there are any ultrawides I can check out in person around here
 
I mean, I've never experienced a multi monitor setup first hand, but in screenshots it seems annoying
 
4:56 PM
Which is why it's so important that borderless support is good in games, for me
 
ultra wide monitor for me was like my mechanical keyboard
 
@Unionhawk You mean game on one monitor, Bridge debating the merits of various monitor setup on the other
 
it didn't seem that special, until I tried 16:9/old keyboard again
 
Like, Elite? Amazing borderless support
 
@Chippies I heard that D3 has good ultrawide support.
 
4:57 PM
@ardaozkal idk about good, but it works in borderless windowed mode
 
As long as I'm not shouted down again by someone randomly posting images because I prefer single monitor gaming
 
doesn't work in proper fullscreen
 
@Yuuki why don't you reject it and replace it with your own

it's hard to troll for rep if there arent any questions
 
@Unionhawk wat
 
RIGHT
Meanwhile apparently encryption with a pattern is supported now, so
I know what I'm doing when I get access to my charger
THIS IS HOW THE CYBERTERRORISTS WIN AMAZON
 
@PrivatePansy Our socialist party is starting to agree with fascistic things a bit much lately. It's all sorts of fucked up.
 
5:36 PM
@Unionhawk So they're trying to coddle up to the government now that Apple isn't playing ball?
 
Iunno but they are doing it wrong
 
@PrivatePansy I get it. That's funny.
 
@twobugs This is the first official release date, as far as I know. Everything else was just a release window.
 
To be fair to amazon, their devices are not really suited for the "encryption tax" on the hardware. :|
 
I mean, sure
 
5:42 PM
@Fluttershy Ah, that makes sense
 
any active lifehackers that have moderate rep, we finally got another question. and its a dup
 
I mean, the premise sounds awesome. I'm just skeptical about it being too ambitious
 
@twobugs eurogamer.net/articles/… This article may assuage some doubts. Or it may increase them. ymmv
 
Yay, I got contract work (of sorts)!
 
@Yuuki nice.

Q: Why can't I launch minecraft 1.9? (mac)

Erlend Salvigsen OkkenhaugOkay... I played minecraft and wanted to test 1.9, so i quit minecraft and try join again. Then minecraft "dies" automatically. I try again, same thing happens.. its happening again and again. I try to reinstall it but i won't work. Do I do anything wrong?

 
It's below -3 so it's hidden from front page. Meh
 
Sure, I don't use delete votes enough.
