@WipqoznsSocks how did you get it?

@Nzall I posted an answer which got upvoted and accepted

A: How do I maximize my chances of being summoned in Blades of the Darkmoon/Blue Sentinels?

It's not just you, a lot of people have been having issues getting summoned as a Darkmooon or Blue Sentinels, and folks are pretty confident it's a bug, despite FROM saying otherwise. The good news is that there does appear to be a work around you can use, provided you're on PS4 or PC. You can f...

Mods having socks while us regular users can't is terrible

Q: How do I delete gamer profile on xbox 360

I have a couple of gamer profiles that aren't used anymore but I can't find out how to delete them.

We're being repressed!

@twobugs It can be hard for us to remember what being mortal is like otherwise

2:08 PM

So what exactly do you use a sock account for?

Reginold S. Terno

What don't you use a sock for?

@ReginoldS.Terno I'm not falling for that again

nope, don't want to get banned twice in one day

Reginold S. Terno

Obligatory

I wonder if it'd be worth it to throw a capture card into my next build. You know, for my streaming career

I added one and then have subsequently not had my PC anywhere near anything I'd want to record |:

Which is a pretty big fail in retrospect

2:13 PM

@twobugs Monster Hunter Generations is coming out soon.

The e3 demo is on humble bundle.

I need to try it this weekend.

@twobugs you can have a sock.Socks are fine, so long as you don't use them to vote on your own posts, or double vote on other posts.

or if you use'em to dodge bans

@Wipqozn Or just do anything bad with them.

@Yuuki I don't think a capture card would help me stream that! You need to buy special 3ds crap

Or pretend they aren't you

2:14 PM

@Nzall For mods it's mostly for testing stuff. Either what a regular user can do, or to test mod powers on.

@Wipqozn If people are talking about their livestream careers, can I joke about Livejasmin? or is that too deranged of a joke to make?

@Wipqozn s/test/practice/

@Nzall You can, but it's still a weird thing to talk about

user image

@Sterno That girl is crying because she saw my socks

@Wipqozn Agreed

2:16 PM

@fredley well, comedy is like pies: different people have different tastes

I....what

DuckDuckGo pls

user image

3

and some people have such a different taste compared to others that the others are disgusted by it

like me

@Nzall Now that is kinda inappropriate (slightly objectifying women). Old fashioned, and in retrospect kinda embarrassing humour.

@fredley better?

PIE OBJECTIFICATION IS A SERIOUS ISSUE

2:19 PM

@Sterno BREAK THE GLASS PIE CRUST

A capture card would be nice for streaming Wii U games (potentially NX too? No idea if Nintendo is going to build that in) and pretty much nothing else

I could get a PSTV I guess and stream Vita games

Nobody has read the last result returned by DuckDuckGo.

@fredley to be clear, I was just quoting a French proverb: les couleurs et les femmes on ne dispute pas (we don't argue about colors and women)

@Nzall That doesn't make it ok

People in the past said lots of stuff that's inappropriate today.

@fredley I understand that. The proverb is intended to say that you may not agree with who someone has as a partner, but you shouldn't argue with them that their partner is the wrong one

2:23 PM

@fredley I mean, I didn't really want to think about what people on Lifehacks might use @Wipqozn's socks for

everyone looks for something different in a partner, and we shouldn't ridicule each other for what they want

@Sterno And my name is there too. I feel violated.

it was not intended as objectification of women

@Nzall I understand, although your joke was in a slightly different tone.

BUT ANYWAY LETS STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS AND TALK ABOUT THE REAL ISSUE

@fredley which is?

2:24 PM

@Nzall THE MOST REALEST ISSUE

Q: Does the Adept Style's Bowgun reload boost anything other than raw damage?

When using either class of Bowguns with the Adept Style, the hunter will do a special reload after perfectly dodging an attack. This boosts the power of shots fired for a short period of time, but how does it affect elemental shots and status shots, if at all?

monster-hunter-gen

Interview over. That didn't last long.

The issue being wht @fredley will do when the Britain leaves the EU

@fredley Brexit, @GnomeSlice's favorite new Pokemon

@Frank Good short or bad short?

2:26 PM

We can tell by the cut of your gib that you're a handsome man of action. You, sir, are hired!

Apparently the suspect behind the UK MP killing had neo Nazi ties

> Police are investigating a white supremacist group after applause for the murder of the MP Jo Cox on Thursday was posted on one of its social media accounts, the Guardian’s Kevin Rawlinson has learned.

:(

@Wipqozn Good short.

I guess I interviewed well enough several years ago for them to remember me.

@fredley Do people in the UK call acts like the MP stabbing "false flag" attacks?

Or is that kind of asshole behavior American Exceptionalism?

Q: Which properties are worth to buy?

I shortly found out that you can buy a garage (near Sandy Shores) with Franklin which gives you free car modifications (!). I wondered if there is somewhere a list of properties that are worth it to buy. Or can you recommend some? If there are no properties with similar bonuses other than that g...

grand-theft-auto-5

2:46 PM

@twobugs I don't know what that means, and also no, I don't think so.

Basically any time something bad happens, i.e. a shooting, people will claim the whole thing was faked by Obama to try and Take Are Guns. Or something like that.

Dey terk err gnns!

Typically, any evidence that this is a patently insane and stupid idea is just Proof Of The Coverup

Damn how do I re-enable mobile chat?

It doesn't help that "false flag" is a legitimate tactic and, while not actively used, remain in the arsenal of states and organisations. See for example Operation Himmler, a false flag ops which kicked off WW2.

2:50 PM

I don't even get why this MP attack happened because Brexit support is leading in polls

@GodEmperorDune On your profile somewhere

@twobugs wat, no

Generally speaking, conspiracy nuts are an overwhelmingly 'murican phenomenon

@fredley Ah, let me tell you about how on 9/11 there were actually no planes, just holograms

No-planers are great

@twobugs There was a cracked article a little while back about false flag conspiracy crackpots being just awful to the parents of a victim

@fredley thanks, found it

@fredley Well, you guys did create David Icke

@SaintWacko Yup, they tend to harass anyone perceived as a "crisis actor"

2:55 PM

@MartinSojka Before I read the context, I was thinking WW2 started because Hitler was upset a moderator declined his flag on a stack question.

5

@twobugs Fuck those people

@MadMAxJr "What do you mean 'Judaism.SE isn't an offensive Area 51 proposal'?"

@MadMAxJr Now I'm imagining Hitler flagging a post on Personal Finance for moderator attention with the text "This guy is a filthy Jew who is planning to take over the world" and the moderator declining the flag with a simple "looks OK"

Dear Lifehacks, I have political clout and a military regime. I envy Poland for it's usable land but I'm not sure how I start the conversation about how to share it.

So his account would have rep on Judiasm.SE, a political one if we have it, perhaps the beer SE, and then the standard 101 rep in an art SE.

He'd probably be question banned on graphic design or photography

3:01 PM

... I wonder if he'd be like he who shall not be named of the art stack.

I don't know who that is?

I mean, you probably shouldn't name them

Oh wait. I think I follow. He'd be their @Wipqozn

Meh, not enough coffee yet

Q: What happened to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?

I wrote a comment on reddit about my thoughts after I watched Nintendos E3 Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild presentation. My main issue with this game is the direction it goes. Away from the series and much closer to titles like FarCry3+, Assassins Creed, Skyrim and so on. Legend of Zelda ...

Trump says MP Jo Cox would still be alive if she had a gun

Also, Canada is crazy. Not Australia-level crazy, but crazy

@GodEmperorDune This is like the Carson quote where the holocaust wouldn't have happened if Jews had guns

Or whatever it was

it seems a familiar, if stupid, talking point

The gun would have shielded her from the surprise stabbing and then she could have used gun katas to deflect the bullet

3:29 PM

Strictly speaking, gun kata (or at least Equilibrium's description of it) involves not being where bullets fly rather than deflecting them.

Just saying.

The gun kata revolved around shifting your center of mass to avoid the mathematically most likely bullet trajectories.

user4704

Duck and pray, basically.

user4704

:D

@Yuuki So you mean... The Matrix was not realistic?

@twobugs Gun kata was Equilibrium, not the Matrix.

Matrix was "I know kung fu".

3:34 PM

I'm trying to be funny here and it's not working and I'm ashamed

3

I just wanted to make fun of people who think they know gun katas from watching anime or movies :(

user4704

Now you must live with your shame forever.

@twobugs Know your pop culture references, fool!

user4704

We will never forget it.

@2shamedbugz

I can't believe you tried to run for mod while associating gun kata with the Matrix. What do you think we are, Lifehacks?

3:36 PM

Note that I did not try to run for mod!

Anyway, I traded my shame for stars which is a reasonable compromise

Q: I've been playing Skyrim on PC and it keeps crashing

I'm playing Skyrim on PC (well, laptop) and it keeps crashing to the desktop, about every 15 minutes. My laptop is a couple years old and I've been playing Skyrim on it since I got it and it used to work fine. But now I have these problems. Here's the data files I have installed (and in order):...

Q: Does D.Va's Defense Matrix completely nullify Reaper's ult?

This answer states that D.Va's Defense Matrix can be used to block Reaper's ult. The Overwatch wiki says For three seconds, D.Va removes enemy projectiles in a 15-meter cylindrical range in front of her. It also protects her allies. She cannot attack during this time, but she can still move....

i am conflicted about this free ubisoft games thing. i mean free games, but uplay

@GodEmperorDune no cost, ~~no catch~~

uPlay is really Not That Bad

3:57 PM

yeah

I don't really get why people hate uPlay so much. I've never had a problem with it and what people describe is all general stuff or not related to the software itself

The Trojan Horse is a tale from the Trojan War about the subterfuge that the Greeks used to enter the city of Troy and win the war. In the canonical version, after a fruitless 10-year siege, the Greeks constructed a huge wooden horse, and hid a select force of men inside. The Greeks pretended to sail away, and the Trojans pulled the horse into their city as a victory trophy. That night the Greek force crept out of the horse and opened the gates for the rest of the Greek army, which had sailed back under cover of night. The Greeks entered and destroyed the city of Troy, decisively ending the war...

Plus you get uPlay points for playing games which you can use to buy DLC with

One of my friends is getting a pc (helping him pick the parts). The guys at store told him that "windowed cases don't let any noise out". Sigh, BS.

Plus he is getting a pretty low end build, nothing in the case that is really worth seeing.

Q: My Xinput controller now has left and right trigger mapped to the same axis when it wasn't before I formatted? Windows 10

So the problem is, I'm using an Xinput compatible controller; Logitech F310. I formatted my PC recently but I was already running Windows 10. I just did a fresh re-install and now, my controller's Left Trigger (LT) and Right Trigger (RT) are detected as one axis. In other words, I can't use them ...

I can look at a build like this for hours, but not to a build with nothing stylish

@twobugs I had to uninstall/reboot/reinstall uplay more than 10 times to get it to work with assassin's creed 3

Oh hey, Unikitty is back

Has it been a year already? Man, time flies

@ardaozkal Yeah, never go to a store for computer advice

@GodEmperorDune It was trying to protect you

A couple months ago my cousin asked me for help finding a laptop

4:03 PM

@twobugs This user is suspended on the parent site and cannot chat for 4 days.

Just something for word processing, music, movies, and internet

Budget: $1000

wow

that is a huge budget for a pc like that

I was so glad she came to me instead of going to Best Buy

@twobugs AC 3 wasn't great but it was decent

Yeah, she doesn't know a ton about computers

4:04 PM

You can do a 1070 build for $1100 or smth

@GodEmperorDune Meh, large portions of that game pissed me off

I got her a great Asus Zenbook that she loves for $450

I built like 3 computers in last 2 days

I've only built two computers

(built as in picking parts)

4:05 PM

LadyWacko's and mine

Oh neat, they recovered the second flight data recorder from the EgyptAir flight

the guys at store ruined 2 which I had to fix.

Store = biggest oem hardware store in Turkey

@ardaozkal Oh, not assembling it yourself?

Yeah, that's not building a PC :P

That's ordering a custom built

@SaintWacko I'd do it

I'm excited to do another build this year

4:06 PM

if they trusted me

Building a computer is like a puzzle. You put the parts together in correct order.

(I built one a few years ago. ddr2 2gb, old ati gpu etc)

I'm trying to figure out what I should do for monitors. I'm going dual. Probably 1440p. I'm only going to use one for gaming I think, but it would be weird to have mismatching monitors :|

@twobugs If you're not getting a multi-monitor stand, make sure to pick stands with roughly the same height. I have my left monitor on a book because of that.

This guy insists on buying a CPU cooler.

That's another good consideration

I don't have a CPU cooler myself.

4:10 PM

I have a water cooler on my current build but I never really got around to overclocking it enough to make use of it

he can't OC and even if he gets an unlocked model and tries to, he'll probably burn it after a few seconds of 1337ghz

I hardly stopped him from buying 212 EVO

@Yuuki Getting perfect alignment is the worst part of the multi-monitor setup shakes fist

@Yuuki Or just get two identical monitors

HE JUST SENT ME A MONITOR WITH AMD FREESYNC

Now I'm pretty concerned about the bezel and whatnot matching

4:13 PM

I'm so happy the Internet has advanced to the point I don't need to remember how to spell Gymnopedie

He is building nvidia/intel combo fyi

@SaintWacko Shut up, you're making too much sense.

Not really sure that I want to drop another $600ish on a 1440p monitor, though

@Yuuki I have two of these

Hm, apparently Breitbart accused Obama of supporting ISIS. As with most things from Breitbart, it's completely baseless

4:15 PM

I just can't.

> how do you understand if it uses amd or nvidia
oh it says there

I have to say, though. Trump aligning himself with Breitbart is not a shocker.

Best way to get computer information: dxdiag

msinfo32 is nice and lets you export system info as a .nfo file

@twobugs dxdiag just does a text file

I really want one of these

amazon.com/Samsung-S34E790C-34-Inch-Professional-Monitor/dp/…

Okay

Fine

Don't onebox

@SaintWacko price hidden?

oh nvm, $898.24

4:27 PM

@ardaozkal No?

Obviously it will be a long time before I can afford it

user image

yes

can see on checkout

user image

I'm not logged in, maybe that.

shrug

Also, I'm not sure I could justify spending the price of my entire computer on a single monitor

Certainly it's a lower priority than getting a 1070/1080/480

good morning bridge

4:32 PM

@Dragonrage I can tell by my ocean view from my work desk that it's clearly afternoon

@twobugs thats what you get for not going to clown school

Okay I can't, but I just wanted to brag about my ocean view

@Wipqozn well, since you are still subbing in for @uni, you are clearly wrong

@Dragonrage That's fair

Also work internet has ground ot a halt. This is getting in the way of both my slacking off and my work.

well, i was told to do a few tasks, which i started working on and almost completed.

then i gave a status update to my boss, and he was like oh we can't do that anymore, I was going to tell you, but I forgot

so now I'm confused and don't know what to work on.

4:36 PM

Well that doesn't make any sense at all

@Wipqozn mocking imitation

grumble grumble ocean view grumble

I like how the answer to every problem in Skyrim is to become a stealth archer.

Guys quick how the fuck do you dance at like a club

asking for a friend

I have occasionally heard of something called a "stanky leg".

gaming.stackexchange.com/review/close/189255

@GnomeSlice As I understand, you basically try to have a seizure while standing up

@murgatroid99 The important part is to maintain upright posture while having a seizure.

Unless you are doing "the worm".

@GnomeSlice changes. what kind of club?

4:49 PM

Alternatively, if it's more like a rave and there's a heavy baseline, jump up and down in place while waving your fist in the air

If it's a Goth Club:
