@Wipqozn -2 hours. And now I'm actually playing!
@Sterno @twobugs was playing before you
@GodEmperorDune All that matters is that @Wipqozn wasn't.
@Sterno true
Potentially NSFW? :o
00:04
@GnomeSlice borderline
lmfao lmfao lmfao
@twobugs If DS3 is anything like DS1, you have to remove all other controllers from your devices.
and I don't mean just unplug them
since you posted it @GnomeSlice it will probably get flagged
I mean "remove device" remove
Thanks GameSpot.
That's a great list of racing/driving games.
00:06
Oh look, your favorite game is on that list too
@twobugs go to devices and printers, right click on any controller-looking-icon and click "Game Controlelr Settings". If it lists more than one controller, then you need to remove the ones you don't want to use in Devices and Printers

Q: Why does my Xbox One controller not work on Dark Souls 3 PC?

two bugsI'm trying to play Dark Souls 3 on my PC and my controller is not detected at all. My controller is able to navigate Steam's Big Picture mode just fine, so I don't think this is a problem with my controller or the receiver. It works in other games as well. What can I do?

@StrixVaria I feel like you would like Trials Evolution
@Unionhawk Yeah, when I'm searching for "best driving games ps4" and the list I find has my most hated game of all time, which isn't a driving game, at number 1, that's a pretty cool feeling.
@StrixVaria Witcher 3 is your most hated game of all time?
00:07
@Chippies It is.
Because it's the only game that makes me actively angry when I think about it.
user15026
@StrixVaria This is so horribly broken
Which I'm not going to bother explaining again.
That seems like an uncommon opinion
It's not a crime
I never said it was
00:08
@Chippies It sure is, and I cannot understand anyone else's stance on it, but we've discussed this at length in the Bridge and I don't feel like rehashing it.
are you the opinion police
I'M THE OPINION POLICE NOW SHUT IT
@GnomeSlice Let me look this up.
@StrixVaria eh, I haven't played it myself, I probably would get bored pretty quickly with it, I was just wondering why you didn't like it, since it's not a common stance for the game
Project CARS is $30 and Trackmania Turbo is $40 and those are both more than I was looking to spend.
user15026
00:09
@Fluttershy I demand to see your badge ;)
@Chippies Every mechanic was anti-fun.
@StrixVaria Sorry, Trials Fusion is the one for PS4
@GnomeSlice Ok.
@StrixVaria Trackmania ooo
@StrixVaria Probably not what you're looking for though, it just made me think of it
@StrixVaria Project CARS has very boring single player campaign
00:09
It's a skill thing
Idk if there's anything that can match Forza or Gran Turismo series in how fun the single player is
@Chippies I wish I could just get Need For Speed: Underground on PS4.
PS4 is pretty shit for racing games at the moment
@GnomeSlice This is what I'm finding.
@StrixVaria meh, that's what PC's are for :P
00:10
@Chippies Racing games are good couch games for me.
A lot less active thinking and stress, good for a relaxed posture.
@StrixVaria I have always had a couch and a TV close enough to the TV that it was never an issue for me, even though I don't use the TV for gaming anyway
user15026
@Fluttershy <3 that is excellnet
@Chippies He said he wanted it on Ps4 tho
wait, I was supposed to mention the PC somewhere in that sentence
00:12
@Chippies It's not about seeing stuff. I have a gigantic TV, so that's not an issue. It's mostly about posture and state of mind when I'm on the couch vs. in a computer chair.
@StrixVaria yeah, I missed some words somewhere in that sentence and I don't want to rewrite it. What I meant to say is that my PC is close enough to both TV and the couch that if I wanted to, I could play PC games on the couch
@Chippies Oh I see. My PC and couch are on different floors of my house.
@StrixVaria that's kinda sucky
I do have a steam link, though, so I may be able to find a way to get NSF:U on my TV.
@StrixVaria that shouldn't be too difficult
00:14
If I owned a copy of the game, it would be a lot easier.
I thought NFS was on PS4
I borrowed my friend's back in the day, when borrowing physical media for games was a thing.
MY BODY IS READY cc @Wipqozn
@GnomeSlice The Need for Speed series has a lot of games and not many of them are good.
@StrixVaria also
00:14
@Sterno Looks just like you.
@StrixVaria Oh.
@Sterno is that the oldest you can be?
Also, there's one that looks like Bruce Campbell.
@GodEmperorDune No
@GnomeSlice The one on PS4 is mostly online, I've read, which isn't exactly what I want at the moment.
00:15
@Sterno that looks very detailed compared to DS1
I wish PC had Forza or Gran Turismo
PC racing scene is either full arcade or full sim with focus on multiplayer
..Well...
This is a great stream

Q: Can a province be considered neighbor if divided by a sea?

GalabycaCan a province be considered neighbor if divided by a sea ? If yes, what's the distance limit to create a claim on it ?

I had a lot of fun with GT2 on PSOne...
@StrixVaria There's nothing for less than that at all
in terms of racing games on PS4
00:17
except Trials Fusion, but again, it's not really a racing game, more like a skill based... endurance thing
and it's still $25
I've seen a Trials game at one of the GDQs, and it seemed pretty neat but not what I'm looking for right now.
Oh well.
I think I had some racing games on 360 but I'm using that for FFXIII at the moment.
Changing discs to switch games is too much of a hassle.
@StrixVaria wut
@Chippies Graphics are definitely better
@StrixVaria Do you have the subscription thing that lets you stream PS3 games?
@GnomeSlice What?
Who mentioned a PS3?
00:19
@StrixVaria Guess that's a no
@Sterno it seems like it. Even with fancy settings in dsfix my DS1 doesn't look anywhere near that detailed
this @twobugs stream is pretty epic
There's a thing on PSN where you can stream PS3 games from a huge library to your PS4
> Sometimes you need to escape a maze, and sometimes you need to build a maze (Inception, 2014)
For like a monthly fee
00:19
@Wipqozn you should watch it
@GnomeSlice he said he has a 360, not a ps3
@GnomeSlice Oh, sorry, I misread the context of your message.
No, I don't think I have that.
@Chippies Cool. The PS3 games come from online.
actually nvm, I know what you're talking about
I just have the normal PSN thingy.
00:20
Because PS3 had a bunch of dope racers
@GodEmperorDune you stole my answer!
user15026
I realized all I know about Dark Souls is that it is a hard game
user15026
I literally know nothing else about it
@AshleyNunn ehhh, it's not an easy game, but the skill ceiling isn't that high. A lot of hardness comes from not knowing things
@Chippies is just in an arguey mood tonight isn't he
00:23
Wasn't really arguing anything tbh
@AshleyNunn And that it being hard is a meme
Dark Souls isn't really hard IMO. I'd say bullet hell games are harder than Dark Souls.
At this point
but I am in a mood where I have no idea what to do, so I'm just sitting on Bridge, looking for things to talk about
user15026
@Chippies I just hear people talking about hte difficulty
user15026
00:23
I don't even know what you do in the game really :P
user15026
and I know zero about the story
@AshleyNunn It is the thing that has been memed the most.
@AshleyNunn like @Unionhawk said, it's more of a meme these days than an actual thing, imho
user15026
I should probably google it to figure out what hte story is :P
@AshleyNunn you stab things and get stabbed for the most part
00:24
@AshleyNunn I wonder if you realize how much of a joke this is.
and roll. You roll a lot
Even the most hardcore of Dark Souls fans can't agree on what the story is.
@Chippies Spoilers!
@AshleyNunn It's kind of a super super dark and gruesome and medieval/might and magic take on a zombie apocalypse.
user15026
@StrixVaria No, I just legitimately know nothing and I am curious
00:25
@PrivatePansy to be fair, you are taught all that within first 5 minutes of the game :P
I saw this today, though, and it was really well put together and interesting.
user15026
@RedRiderX Okay, that helps
First death.
@Sterno Are you streaming?
@StrixVaria No. I figured people would just watch @twoBugs. He talks
00:27
@Chippies I literally cannot ever play this game anymore after knowing that you have to stab things
@PrivatePansy well, you don't have to. You can club things too
or slash
OMG SPOILERS
2nd death.
I ignored the sign that said "turn back". Now it's a matter of honor to kill this thing
SPOILER ALERT: The protagonist in Dark Souls dies. A lot.
LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE
00:30
It occurs to me we might need a Dark Souls 3 room
@Unionhawk prb = pee right back, it's what you say when you gotta pee and you brb
Went to create a DS3 room and...
@GnomeSlice So... I just got invaded.
By a player.
I mean... maybe?
00:34
@Sterno Nyet
@Fluttershy Huh. I did see mentions that it worked very occasionally for some players.
@Sterno it's a room for translation and documentation of whatever R refers to
so, not a dark souls 3 room
@Chippies I think we could have guessed that from the fact that it was a ro.stackoverflow room :P
@PrivatePansy well, I don't see that in the screenshot
but I don't know what to look for, so...
00:35
@Chippies The favicon
@PrivatePansy Idk if I should be impressed or sad that you know all the SE favicons from memory :P
that being said, I have no idea what RO stands for
@Chippies room owner?
Russian? Wait, that's RU
@Dragonrage in the context @PrivatePansy provided though?
I keep getting my country codes mixed up
00:38
@PrivatePansy so I guess you meant to write ru.stackoverflow instead?
that would've made more sense...
Yes, that
I don't know why I didn't bother to just spell out the country in my head.
Then I'd have realized that Russian isn't spelt as Rossian
@PrivatePansy I suppose you could pronounce it either way though
in english, at least
because in English pronounciation has nothing to do with spelling and vice versa
because English.

Q: How do i fix the hearthfire problem in skyrim where it wont let my lakeview manor house be counted as my house

Benjamin wardI have tried multiple things that doesnt work for some reason. I have loaded up a save before i bought the house, i have deleted and redownloaded the hearthfire dlc and nothing works! Please help me fix this problem!!

00:57
@twobugs Are you getting weird audio glitches? When I'm in the menus the game seems to stop and restart background audio a lot
Seath and Sif are dead. Time for the kings!
Watching people from Arqade stream is the worst when they get pinged.
@StrixVaria and/or the best
Does anyone else have @twobugs's stream with black borders on all sides, the actual game only taking up like the middle 1/4 of the player?

Q: Xbox One Controller not working on Dark Souls 3 PC

TragainistI was originally using a ps4 controller with a program to play all my other games. It worked flawlessly on every game except this one. Went out and bought a xbox one controller and tested it on other games to which it works fine but still not working on Dark Souls 3. Hopefully someone can give me...

Q: MInecraft deleted worlds can't be recovered!

NInaIt seems like Minecraft deleted my world! I tried right clicking on saves and going to previous versions, but nothing pops up! I even deleted a world on the same day to test it! Still nothing! My world was gone for about at least a week or two by now. I did everything I could to get it back! Hel...

Q: What is the "server name" in MCPE?

user144672This may seem like a noob question but if someone could answer it I'd be extremely grateful. When me and my brother try join worlds in MCPE it says to enter the "server name". I honestly dont know what this is could someone please help me?

@mods, we might need a protection on this

@Fluttershy which did you choose?
@RedRiderX Between Frampt and the other one?

Q: Counter Strike GO deranking over time

B00sTMe15TeRSo all of my friends have been complaining about how they don't play csgo for 2 months and when they come back, they've deranked. Is this supposed to happen?

@Sterno Thanks! :D Now I sits and waits for a sale on Dark Souls 3.
@Fluttershy Have you beaten Dark Souls 2?
@StrixVaria No, but it's not really connected, or so I've heard. DS1 and DS3 have a direct connection, but DS2 is just kinda... there.
Based on that random plot video I found today that sounds about right.
@Fluttershy Yay! Good job!
02:00
Oh, that's why I haven't played Dark Souls 2... I don't have SotFS.
02:14
Well, that was bullshit.
A necromancer dude making an iron maiden invincible.
As if the iron maiden enemies weren't the fucking worst anyway.
@Wipqozn -4 hours
@StrixVaria They're definitely the worst.
@Sterno @twobugs How important is it to have Scholars of the First Sin?
If you're going to play DS2 on PC, you want SotFS
@Sterno Gotcha... :( Thanks.
To be fair, I only played the non-SotFS version for a few hours. The graphics were bugging me. I spent the $20 to upgrade to SotFS
The 1/3rd of the DLC I played was pretty cool. And apparently enemy placement and some other changes made the base game a lot better, but I can't speak to that having not really experienced the non-SotFS version

Q: How does 2-handing a weapon affect damage?

SternoI imagine this answer might get complicated depending on how the weapon is infused and which stats scale it, but maybe not. Obviously, I don't really understand how one-handing vs two-handing affect things. In previous games, I've used Strength-scaling weapons and 2-handing had an obvious effect....

@Fluttershy If you're gonna play, you want SotFS
@twobugs Yeah. Gonna pick it up Friday, I guess.
cc @people?
@Unionhawk The way that sheet music is sitting on the piano is killing me.
02:58
Carlos makes me wish I still played saxophone
And/or had time for that
As applies
I'm finally getting a real piano in my house within the next few weeks.
It's so much nicer to play a real acoustic one than an electric one.
BUT SAXOPHONE
Carlos is also amazing at jazz arrangements of VGM
You'd think in a game called Team Fortress 2, people would actually know about teamplay and objectives.
@Unionhawk Is there another example than that song? I don't know the original very well (even though it's from Pokemon...it's a weird choice).
@Yuuki Personal statline is literally the only relevant thing.
But nooo, nobody wants to clutch jump onto the payload during overtime.
You'd think "winning capture" would be a pretty good stat, but whatever.
I found this one, which is pretty cool.
Man, jazz music is really not my thing, though.
Well cc @Wipqozn
And also OLD STUFF BUT GOOD STUFF
@StrixVaria jazz is amazing.
@Dragonrage I'm not saying it's bad.
03:05
I used to play in a jazz band.
I'm just saying that I don't get any real enjoyment from it.
It's a lot of fun to play. Completely different styles and rhythms compared to concert or marching band
And my high school announced they were replacing my awful band director with a Certified Cool Dude, so I may actually get a chance to play and it not being against my morals sometime
Like, homecoming related sometime
@Unionhawk my old band teacher had a heart attack and had to stop teaching
@Dragonrage I was in jazz band in middle school (I played trumpet), and it was definitely more fun to play than concert band.
We didn't do much real jazz, though, despite the name.
03:07
@Dragonrage My old band director was just the worst and like, his entire thing was placing ultimatums on people
Hey nice. I played trumpet as well
user15026
@Wipqozn finished the first Dagger and Coin book. It was amazing.
Like, either you come to this thing, or you don't play, no exceptions
Operative phrase no exceptions
@Unionhawk that's a shame. Band directors should inspire a love for music and passion to play.
@Dragonrage I'm taking partial credit for this because drunk me told the young alumni guy all about this at a thing
But it's fine because sober me was just too polite to say it, and he asked
03:27
@Wipqozn -5.5 hours. I hope you're having dreams about all the fun everyone who isn't you is having.

Q: Why do I sometimes regain an estus flask charge?

two bugsIn Dark Souls 1 there was a similar mechanic where you would gain charges when someone "nearby" (as the game ruled) strengthed a bonfire. I don't see this mechanic yet in Dark Souls 3 and it seems to be happening in one of the first areas - Why is this?

Hmm... can you retract close votes?
Did you... try to close mine :|
Not... yet.
@Yuuki I think so.
It's been a while since mine were retract-able, so I'm not 100% sure.
03:38
Yeah, you can retract close votes.
Well, I think I've encountered an inescapable crash situation in DS3
user15026
@murgatroid99 that sucks!
I reinforced my Estus Flask for the first time, and now the game crashes if I get near the bonfire. Which is the only way to leave the area
Fortunately, it hasn't messed up my save file, so I can just get back to it when they fix it
Oh, apparently I just had to change my Lighting Quality setting
@murgatroid99 I had to drop everything to minimum and windowed
I just had to set lighting to low
03:48
@Yuuki I don't see why you're marking my question as a possible dupe already
I don't see any indication that it's a dupe yet
I listed a few reasons that don't make sense for it being a dupe anyway
04:03
@Yuuki Yes
Oh
You can't retract reopens, incidentally

Q: How can I find a lost (tamed) dino?

DpeifI went on a resource run with a Quetz, perched it on a cliff, and (I assume) it got attacked while I was exploring. It had a lot of health and melee damage, so I think it probably survived the fight and just landed somewhere in the forest. I've tried scouting the area with another flying mount, w...

New hobby with @Sterno's gifts: accept them into inventory and give them to @twobugs
I dare you
Oh you already did
04:30
You can decline gifts and you can add them to inventory for more fun
@Wipqozn Well, by the time I play tomorrow, you might be caught up. I restarted.
So I don't know where my gamepad is
So so much for "LOL I'm playing dark souls 1" like I did with XCOM:EU
For now
And also the water of "shit to do" is rising rapidly
So
I feel like I'll probably start drowning again if I do
AH CRAP
I forgot to do a thing today
>_>
Drowning in shit water doesn't sound fun
NOPE
It's decidedly unfun
OH, thank you Starbound for reminding me why you were awful
Damn penguins

Ooo, I can appear on @Dragonrage's stream!

@fredley 'something and fries' ? Do fries with curry sauce even qualify as poutine?
