Q: What are Blood Death Knight's Active Mitigation skills?

fcmThe Dungeon Journal of the final boss in the dungeon Neltharion's Lair mentions that the skill Molten Crash will deal less damage and not knockback a tank that has used his Active Mitigation skill. As a Death Knight, I do not seem to have an ability that serves to nulify that effect, and after se...

Q: The first "staff only" door is locked after death - how to progress?

user598527I used the staff only door at the starting area (down from helipad to the warehouse) to progress to the mall, now locked after dying for the first time. I'm not aware of any alternative paths.

@arda yep, climate is rekt
keep on denying
@GodEmperorDune You guys talking about the XKCD comic?
@Ellesedil nah i haven't kept up with xkcd the last few weeks
@GodEmperorDune You should look at yesterday's, then.
Although, we already know what your response will be:
6 mins ago, by GodEmperorDune
@arda yep, climate is rekt

i wonder, can randal, brady, john green, brian cox, etc all unite, do a kickstarter to fix the planet?

Q: Penalties for using Higher Attribute Items

KaizerwolfThere are certain weapons and shields that requite a base amount of some Attribute, like Strength, Faith, or Agility. Let's say that a specific weapon has a Faith requirement of 18, and if that requirement is not met, the stat is Red. However, I can still equip and use this weapon, even if the re...

@Sterno oh hey dishonored is on sale on the huble bundle site. Maybe I should buy some the dlx
sounds like the Daud dlc is good
@arda figured out what games u like yet?
I mostly stopped gaming
Oh I'd only be saving $3. not ure if that's worth figuring out which account I linked my humble to. sound like work.
still, supposedly the Daud DLC are really good. I guess the two of'em give 6 new missions.
@arda You know if you did that properly, they'd onebox, and I'd be able to see them at work...
@Sterno Do you have the GOTY edition? Just curious if you have those DLC items
@MBraedley both are gifs of global warming
@arda ...which I can't see at work unless you onebox them
@MBraedley twitter oneboxes don't include images
18:39
yes. Also twitter stores them as mp4 so can't upload to istack
@GodEmperorDune I know, but I'd be able to see text
"Updated spiral of global temperatures: as expected, after 12 record months in a row, the El Niño boost is receding" - "Meanwhile, in the Arctic, sea ice volume is at a record low for the time of year according to PIOMAS."
it doesn't want to onebox
I think it does, but I can't see it.
i can't see it either and i'm at home, so i don't think its a work filter problem
18:49
@GodEmperorDune link is simply not a picture, just click on it
@badp click on the picturen't?
@GodEmperorDune yes
you should get a tweet, and the embedded video, pbs.twimg.com/tweet_video/CmhGaRdXYAEI0CY.mp4
well that solven't the onebox problem
@GodEmperorDune you can't onebox pbs.twimg.com/tweet_video/CmhGaRdXYAEI0CY.mp4 anyway
18:51
@djsmiley2k that's only thumbnail

Q: Should I bother evolving my Pokemon when I can just hatch better ones?

Joe KingI was really excited to encounter and catch my first wild Snorlax yesterday. It has 166 HP and 1200 CP. Then today one hatched from a 10Km egg (199HP/1730CP) and gave me 19 Snorlax candy. The wild one cost me nearly all my ultraballs, most of my razzberries and quite a considerable time. So wh...

Q: is saving children possible without freeing the spirit in "the whispering hillock"?

Hitman2847in witcher 3 , in the mission "the whispering hillock" , is there anyway to kill the spirit in the tree and then find the crones and save the children? or kill the crones before this mission so the children would not be taken by them?

Ugh
I hate you hanamura
We had 4:03 to capture Hanamura A for the draw, and 4:33 to capture A and B for the victory and we didn't get it
Symmetra defense was too strong
feels bad
Oh god and the next match is Volskaya
@Wipqozn I have 2 of the 4. The 2 Daud ones
I didn't care about the trials
And I think the other one is either cosmetic or weapons or something I don't care about
@Unionhawk against what, 2 tracers and 3 genjis?
Oh, I guess it was comp
Still
ahhhhh wtf this game is furries

Q: Can I change who my buddy is?

DragonrageWith the new update, you can now chose a buddy under your profile and get candy from walking various amounts. What is not clear however, is if you can change your buddy later on. Say I'm a few candy short of evolving one Pokemon, so I choose that Pokemon as my buddy, can I change my buddy to some...

@Sterno They had a teleporter up really fast, and it was really the mei/symmetra defense
They stalled us out, and we all had a tendency to rush in way too fast into literally everyone once we finally had an opportunity
And then mei had blizzard up and it was just a nightmare
tf 5 flags
WHO DID THIS https://t.co/KXRxeWXZs1
lol
So the counter will show you how many total flags there are, ie, one message with 5 flags
@Unionhawk ah. thanks
19:30
For automatic destruction to occur, a message needs n net flags
Also I'm in the range of skill rating that I see gold players way more frequently than before. Feels bad.
I was getting all platinum matches before
Oh well
I need a good name for my new work laptop
Stanley
@SaintWacko wacko-laptop
I tend to use the names of computer/AIs/tech stuff from sci-fi books/movies/games
@SaintWacko AS400
19:36
@GodEmperorDune What's that?
@SaintWacko an old mainframe
but a better name is glados
Meh, overused
I prefer obscure references
especially if it is a testing machine
19:38
Incognita, Acceptor, Episiarch, Tacitus, Schron loop, Prime Radiant
Those are my various device names right now
white rabbit object
but make sure you say the magic word
I'm considering Pallas Athena
But I prefer single word names so I don't have to hyphenate
user15026
My latest candy order left Florida today. Curious if it will have as much of an adventure as the last batch.
@SaintWacko SaintWorko
Alternatively: Fhloston Paradise.
Also, THX1138
Any of these are acceptable. But only these.
19:53
Ooh, here's a good one!
Now the only question is: Mirage or Psychotrope?
Hmm...
Fuck
I don't have the contact info of the person I'm supposed to be working on a presentation with (he has my phone number but hasn't contacted me >_>)
SO THAT'S COOL
srsyly why is there a furry game :/

Q: Carbon Blade Aced - 20% more effective?

Timmy JimWhat does it mean by 20% more effective? The saw lasts 20% longer before needing to change the blade? The upgrade before it says it makes it 20% more efficient. Does 20% more effective mean the same thing as efficient? Or does effective mean 20% more damage?

Okay, I went with Mirage
20:08
@djsmiley2k what's your problem with freedom planet
It's a good game
@badp elysian dust
no one told me
Also a good game
must now complete
America became corrupted with Sonac
Your battle was long lost with the anthropomorphic hedgehog and fox
It's over forever
You can't save America but you can play good games!
in dont care bout merica
20:13
Also tom and jerry
And really most of Grimm's
and Greek legends
ONLY YOU CAN GO BACK IN TIME, KILL HOMER AND SAVE US ALL @djsmiley2k
kill all the greeks?
It's the only way to be sure
@GodEmperorDune we're making America great again
You're welcome
i'd probably vote for @badp over trump
20:17
(It just so happens that America was never great but we're working on that, too)
HERESY
USA! USA! USA!
it wasx great... britain
BBOOM
@GodEmperorDune but you can't!
I'm not merican
Part of the plan is to take Italy and retroactively call that America
@djsmiley2k Dust isn't really a furry game. At least, not any more than Star Fox is.
then America can be made great again
20:20
@Fluttershy k just very looks wise
@djsmiley2k wait is that the one where you have godlike powers to shape the elements?
What would a "furry game" even be
It has anthropomorphic characters, sure, but plenty of games do. As far as actiony metroidvanias go, though, it's right up there with Ori in terms of quality for me.
@GodEmperorDune That is From Dust.
@Fluttershy ah, right
This is Dust: An Elysian Tail
@badp A game marketed toward furries, I guess?
20:22
@Fluttershy the tail gives it away
But back to the original question, why shouldn't there be a furry game? No need to exclude a group as a potential fanbase. shrug

Q: What's the tile distribution in Words With Friends's Fast Play mode?

Taylor LopezI'm creating a AI that plays Scrabble / Words with Friends. I'm familiar with the tile count distribution in standard versions of both games (this list is one example), but Words with Friends recently released a new game mode in which a smaller board is used with fewer tiles. Does anybody happen ...

20:42
All right
Some left
no middle
Either with us or with them
Are you with them, @Unionhawk
damn i always screw up arparse tests
Is that how it is?
@GodEmperorDune is that because you try and write arbutt tests?
20:49
@badp wut is an arbutt test?
A test that also isn't an argparse test

Q: Real world connections to Pokemons

ChristianI wanted to make a database of real life references that are made by the name of Pokemons. Here is my current list. Bulbasaur -> plant bulb Ivysaur -> Poison Ivy Charmander -> Charring + salamander charmeleon -> charring + chameleon Charizard -> charring + lizard Squirtle -> Squirt Wartortle...

20:51
...I shouldn't have played this war of mine
So if I don't get a response in 60 minutes on this I'm going to create Google docs, share them, and start working on this shit myself
@Unionhawk a response
#phosphoribosylglycinamideformyltransferaseseries1
And if I'm the only one who ends up working on this presentation then oh well, it's about how to qr code
@Unionhawk Dear @Unionhawk, thank you for your request. Kind regards, not your recipient.
20:53
I hate all of you except maybe @TimStone
@Unionhawk your well sounds mathematically redundant
Yeah well YOUR FACE SOUNDS MATHEMATICALLY REDUNDANT
Try going for a more traditional parallelepiped design
It started as "oh cool let's survive" and slowly went to "what would I do if I was in this situation". I blame isis.
@Unionhawk I do have a lot of unnecessary structures that enhance my handsome
@arda you can now plan ahead!
I hope you have about three months' worth of food, water, and YouTube videos
You now owe the internet oracle a system to download YouTube videos non stop in order to stock up for the bad days
@badp well you are semi-joking but that ended up being the only thing I thinked once I killed the first person (and even more when I got shot at)
@badp I don't, I don't, I do.
You're already some of the way there! Look at you.
Response confirm
SwiftKey you idiot
@Unionhawk status: QR coded
21:02
This minifier just put an extra return in a function
wtf
@RedRiderX it minified your code to return early
Watch out for those sweet speedups
TEACHES YOU FOR USING MINIFIERS
What if I WANTED to put a breakpoint in your ugly JavaScript
@badp Source map
that you're not publishing
Well
what ya gonna do
HMMMMMMMMMMMMM?
Not minify
That's what
You already have gzip
21:05
srsly tho what is this about
I don't have a return in my code, and the minifier just adds one
Doesn't JavaScript return the last expression anyway

Q: How to escape from zombie grab?

user598527How to escape from zombie grab, before a QTE prompt (related to mobs) appears on-screen? Do I have to wiggle the left stick or hammer the attack button for example? I'm fairly sure there's a tutorial screen for being held by a zombie...

Nope.
Coffeescript does.
@badp This is not the last this is the first
Also note the switch from semicolon to comma
I'm not creating any more variables
ok, this is pretty cool
21:11
omfg it really does this by default
y tho
What am I missing?
You can solve this problem by not minifying. I want to live in a world where this bullshit is no longer necessary
It just gets in the way of everyone's day
@badp I'm considering it at this point
@badp But but mu 3k savings
My phone is unhappy with running Pokemon Go while charging. My phone actually closed Pokemon Go since the battery was starting to overheat.
HTTP 2 should help by removing the cost of multiple requests and zipping/httpsing by default
so go ahead and serve your website over HTTP2
and you'll get your 3k savings

21:28
@Yuuki I was hoping people eventually would start to do stuff like this :D
Mimikyu is just adorable.
@badp I don't think there's a significant difference between HTTP/1.1 and HTTP2 regarding encryption or payload compression. The primary gain comes from multiplexing multiple requests onto a single TCP connection, and even a single TLS session.
> The rising popularity of Pikachu-styled merchandise around 20 years ago is the reason that Mimikyu makes itself look like Pikachu. In fact, this Pokémon is dreadfully lonely, and it thought it would be able to make friends with humans if only it looked like Pikachu.
user15026
@Yuuki It's so heartbreaking
user15026
I just want to be like "come here let me love you"
21:30
Part of me wants to get Sun/Moon just so I can go catch a Mimikyu.
in other news
@Yuuki That is a significant part of why I want Sun/Moon
for the How Do You Fuck Up Tetris series
user15026
@murgatroid99 Same
user15026
Even though it's been a good long time since I played through any Pokemon game in any real sense
21:32
Its cry is even it attempting to say "Pikachu".
Wait.
Has someone make the "I've done nothing productive all day" gif with Alolan Exeggutor?
@Ronan do you want internet points?
Yes, but I'm not going to make it.
@Yuuki deep. since when are pokemon this sad?
@arda Cubone wears the skull of its dead mother.
So... since first gen?
user15026
21:39
@Yuuki Which is why there's that comic about reviving fossils that smacks me in the feels every time I see it
I'm too deep in feelings :/
Cool, after 4 hours, my server is finally archived (and ready to come back up) and I have something to distract me.
user15026
@Yuuki The moon one creeps me out
@Yuuki nice thinking
21:42
@Ash Although I'm not 100% if the evolution is based on the version or the day/night cycle.
user15026
This reminds me, I need to decide if I am going to get the new Yokai game and if I am going to get Fleshy Souls or Bony Spirits (but lets be honest lacking any better info I am going to get Fleshy Souls just because that makes me laugh.)
Which, if you recall, is 12 hours out of phase in each version.
user15026
@Yuuki Oh?
@Ash Whenever it's daytime in your Sun version, it'll be nighttime in your Moon version.
user15026
Ah. :)
21:43
Or at least that's the news I heard last time.
@Yuuki ...that's pretty cool
oooooh I have the BEST movie night idea
@arda I don't see this going any way but terribly
@KevinvanderVelden phantom menace
@arda It's been suggested before.

@arda I don't see this going any way but terribly
Which isn't to say that you can't suggest it again.
But it got heavily downvoted last time.
I'm joking
@arda plz don't troll
I have a truly decent idea
is force awakens out?
maybe it can dethrone italian spiderman
21:48
@GodEmperorDune It's been out.
In fact, I have it already.
k, time to earn some invisible meta rep
@GodEmperorDune You're doing gods work... er... @GodEmperorDune
Now, bed \o/
It's only midnight

Q: Steam Game Says Already Running

SoRcE FlarpHave tried verifying game cache, restarting computer, running as admin, everything. This has happened to me on multiple games and it is really starting to get annoying.

A few weeks ago, T-Mobile offered free Pokemon Go data which I took advantage of opted in for. Apparently... that doesn't include the map data that Pokemon Go uses. Or so I'm told by a T-Mobile rep via chat.
That seems somewhat deceptive to me.
@Ellesedil does pokemon go use any other significant data than map?
It uses RPC which should be very very small
It's not clear to me. My phone indicates it has used over 400 MB since the start of the month, but the rep told me it has used about 20 MB so far.
I have a 2 GB soft cap, at which point I'm throttled to 2G speeds.
Correction, Pokemon has used 122 MB.
Supposedly, Slacker Radio and Pokemon Go data usage are exempt. Of the 2.86 GB of data I've used, My phone indicates Slacker has used 1.49 GB and Pokemon Go has used 122 MB. So... there must still be a bunch of data that those two apps use that are not exempt for whatever reason.
Because I've already exhausted my 2GB allocation.
22:32
It uses rpc for all server communications (which is veeery small), and other stuff for google maps stuff. They probably only made the server communications free.
Sounds like it. Still seems deceptive to me since playing Pokemon Go still counts against your monthly allocation.
Yeah
Slacker is the bigger offender, though. That's supposed to also be exempt through T-Mobile's free music streaming.
But considering the Pokemon Go stuff, I'm going to assume that there's things that the Slacker Radio app downloads that still count against monthly data simply because it's not a song. Ads, album graphics, album info, etc, etc.
sigh
user15026
Phone is doing a system update. Those always make me so nervous.
Probably even basic account into.
T-Mobile's data usage page on their site is useless. It labels everything as "Internet Access". So, I have absolutely no idea what used 310MB and 144MB earlier today.
22:50
@Ellesedil The annoying thing is that I had that on one of my older phones and couldn't uninstall it.
I could only uninstall updates.
@Yuuki I actually like Slacker as a radio service. But if it's going to use all kinds of data that T-Mobile isn't exempting, well....
