Q: Make it so I don't have to continually move mouse up/down while flying?

Andy HerbertIs there a way in settings to make it so I don't have to continually move the mouse up/down if I want to move my plane up/down? Rather, I want to move my mouse up a little, and the throttle would increase or decrease based on where I moved my mouse, and to throttle back, I would move my mouse bac...

Q: How Much is Fallout 4 Story Influenced by Psychologists / Exploitive Psychology For Marketing?

PipsqweekAre the latest Fallout Games games written by psychologists or actual writers?

@PrivatePansy how long ago did you prepare it?
 
@GodEmperorDune I actually got it off the supermarket discount shelf because it was expiring today. It definitely wasn't moldy when I bought it. I suspect the supermarket repacked it, which is how it got contaminated
 
@PrivatePansy expiring today but no time on it i assume
 
@PrivatePansy :/
 
Mold is really annoying here, because the humidity is so high, mold grows on everything

Q: Is upgrading from a Radeon HD to GTX 10 series card worth it for single core?

Moäz KassarI'm running a 3D game on a platform that doesn't use multithreading and as such only uses one core. While my Radeon HD 6670 is able to show this game fast enough, it still lags in some instances because it can only use a single core. The slower speed in those parts of the game is bearable, but I ...

@Yuuki oooooo, i am liking that. makes me think of Ar Tonelico 2 where you build up a Song to it's final form then activate Replika with lots of saved IPDs to boost it up as much as you can before Replika turns itself ogg
 
"Argus is too easy for a final boss!!"
 
@Jutschge I'm talking about normal and heroic
Antorus as a whole on normal and heroic is considered to be a joke of a raid
 
@Nzall wasn't referring to you tbh :P more about the loud community in general.
 
and even on Mythic, considering the first 10 bosses died within something retarded like 10 hours
 
I mean heroic has always been somewhat easy tbh.
Maybe KJ was hard but that was just a shit boss
Also Coven is almost impossible for pugs in HC
 
9:19 AM
The difficulty with KJ, as I said before, was that it was pretty much guaranteed wipe if anyone fucked up
 
@Nzall well tbh I don't think that should happen in HC/Normal.
In mythic an insta wipe mechanic is okay (and they still exist) but not in lower difficulties
 
@Jutschge Yeah, that's right. especially on normal, anyone except the tanks fucking up should be just that person who dies
The main problem with the final 3 bosses of ToS is that every boss had at least 1 mechanic that wiped the entire raid if the person handling that mechanic fucked up
 
I mean normal shouldn't be hard at all... I think Antorus is pretty well tuned for normal
 
Indeed, and I'm hoping to do a Heroic pug the coming few weeks
 
HC... well yeah the final boss is underwhelming. But the 3 before him are pretty awesome
 
9:22 AM
Will be fun to game on my laptop starting the 17th
 
Aggramar and varimathras will push your healers to their limits
 
going on vacation to Spain for 3 weeks
 
and Coven does have some wipe mechanics
 
so I've done some rep grinding this weekend
Finished up Sha'tari Skyguard on my Old, old main (played from TBC to mid MoP, server transfered and abandoned) and started working on netherwing on my new old main (same class, different server, played through WoD)
I'm currently roughly at 9407/12000 into honored
I've been a bit dumb though and forgot to stack up on Darkmoon Hats
Is there really no working online rep calculator left?
 
cant wait to get my first kiss on christmas under the missile toe 😍😘
cc @Yuuki @Wipqozn @Ash
 
9:48 AM
@Nzall maybe this one? I usually don't grind rep but the addon looks promising.
Idk about something online though...
 
@Jutschge I have that addon already, but I'm looking for something online. we used to have wowJuju, but that's been discontinued

It's bitcoin cash
 
What's the difference between that and regular bitcoin?

Bcc is a fork
Hard fork
Has bigger size and segwit etc
 
Butter Choc Cookie
 
Ave
Basically
It's bitcoin but better
Except /r/bitcoin hates it
And /r/btc loves it.
 
@Ave That does mean it's better
@Ave that kinda takes it away though
 
@Ave because it's not bitcoin
 
I want a eve v >.>
 
Ave
@Memor-X it is
It's Bitcoin Cash.
Hardfork. Same ledger until a certain point, even.
If you had 1 btc during that fork you now have 1 bcc too
 
10:28 AM
Wait, that means that given the fact both are still alive you could double spend the money
Once on btc and once on bcc
 
wouldn't that make it half the value?
 
They have no inherit value and the market is volatile AF
 
@KevinvanderVelden Theoretically yes, but in practice, BCC is worth a lot less
@Jutschge Don't forget Explosive as well
 
I mean Explosive is okay-ish... But teeming and fortified combined is a nightmare
 
Ave
@KevinvanderVelden exactly
Except as nzall said bcc costs less
 
10:33 AM
Also I still gotta do a +15 this week but ugh... tyrannical :(
 
Ave
Honestly it's weird
Bcc is official ticker
But bitconnect is also bcc
So most exchanges refer to it as bch
 
@Jutschge Some raiders imagine how raids with M+ affixes would work, and I have the ultimate disaster combo for that
 
Ave
And… that's not the best ticker or whatever it's called
 
Raging/Grievous/Tyrannical TotGC
Imagine doing Anub'arak with raging and grievous
oh wait, Anub'arak isn't affected by raging
Still, Grievous on Anub'arak probably would be impossible: Anub'arak wants you got at around 5-20% HP, but Grievous gives you a nasty DoT if you are below 90% HP.
 
@Nzall honestly... even a single affix would fuck up a fight. The raids are hard enough vor the average player IMO.
M+ Raids would be impossible to pug
 
10:43 AM
@Jutschge A number of the top mythic raiders are expecting or hoping M+ raids though
@realnzall fair point, the raiding version of mythic+ that will no doubt eventually be implemented will perhaps fix the issue.
 
Idk... I don't think it would be good for the game. (at least for pugs)
I mean in raids you have mechanical differences between the difficulties.
M+ is just scaling endlessly and you smack a timer on top of that to make it harder
 
@Jutschge Mythic raids are not intended to be pugged though. I mean, if you're good enough, you probably can pug them, but they're not intended to be
 
@Nzall Yeah but if the M+ system only works for Mythic raids the balance will be fucked.
You see it right now. There are certain dungeons that can't be completed with certain affixes.
GL running a 22 Darkheart intime on a tyrannical/grievous week
And on other weeks a 23 Darkheart is easy.
Since there aren't really a lot of raids per expansion there will be weeks where raiding isn't a good idea (and that's bad)

Halp I've fallen in a wikipedia hole
 
A rope is a group of yarns, plies, fibers or strands that are twisted or braided together into a larger and stronger form. Ropes have tensile strength and so can be used for dragging and lifting, but are too flexible to provide compressive strength. As a result, they cannot be used for pushing or similar compressive applications. Rope is thicker and stronger than similarly constructed cord, string, and twine. Fiber rope is made from fiber, whereas wire rope is made from wire. == Construction == Rope may be constructed of any long, stringy, fibrous material, but generally is constructed of certain...
 
Not 100% sure if that's supposed to help or not
 
If you fall in a wikipedia hole you need some wikipedia rope to get out
Or a wikipedia ladder
 
@KevinvanderVelden Try this

@fredley THAT'S EVEN WORSE
 
But you're not in the Wikipedia hole right?

room topic changed to The Bridge: General Arqade chat, which for some reason has become Unionhawk's stderr, and we have no idea how to change that, but it probably involves reattaching his file descriptors to /dev/rubberduck [+blind-carbon-copy] [+pedantry] [gaming] [jin-fanclub] [lazers] [murder] [-politics]
 
@KevinvanderVelden COworker said that the release of the cryptokitties kinda caused that specific cryptocoin to drop, because everyone is playing the kittie game and not mining for the coins anymore.

Audible.ca is now a thing for the other Canadians out there. Keep your current library, and if you have a subscription, it's $14.95CAD instead of being charged in USD.
 
@cazc_941 Bloodborne 2 is the current speculation, I think.
 
@Fluttershy Which is interesting because the director has stated that he's not interested in revisiting Souls or Bloodborne, IIRC.
 
@Yuuki He said that about Dark Souls, specifically. But he also said if someone else wanted to take the reins, he'd be fine with that.
 
Fromsoft was one of the first group of third-party devs that announced they'd making something for the Switch and they're one of the few left that haven't even announced anything.

Q: Can Orisa's halt grab a dead Junkrat's grendades?

ZissouuSo in Overwatch can Orisa use her halt to move the grenades a dying Junkrat drops? I realize it would have to be fast and fired in right direction but would such action be possible?

 
Ave
@SaintWacko I'm just kind of worried.
(I'm not quite experienced)
 
@Ave Did you want it to turn into a poly relationship?
 
Ave
2:52 PM
@SaintWacko well, I'll view "want" from 2 different angles. Do I want to try this out? yes. Did I explicitly allow this to be a thing? yes. Would I ever even think of wanting to take this relationship this way if not asked by both partner #1 and partner #2? no.
It's mostly because my relationship with #2 was more friend-like, but I suppose I'll see how everything goes.
 
3:09 PM
I can't stop reading poly as polynomial. Presumably that means the number of spouses increase quadratically.
 
I suddenly realize that dumping a bunch of tea leaves into a disposable bag thing and then folding it up looks suspiciously like I'm rolling up a joint at my desk.
 
Heh
You could get something like this:

@Ave Eh, it's pretty certain that Half-Life 3 will never exist.

I won a crock pot at my work Christmas party
 
@cazc_941 Nice.
I mean, if Valve wants HL3 to be anything other than an absolute disaster, they need innovative and paradigm-shifting gameplay in order to live up to the mythic levels of hype that HL3 has. And how many cutting-edge game devs is Valve employing right now?
 
If Valve wants HL3 to be anything other than an absolute disaster, they need for it to continue not existing instead of making it exist as an absolute disaster
 
@Unionhawk I mean, that's basically a more direct way of saying what I said.

Q: How do I kill the Phantasm boss that keeps multiplying?

SeiyriaThe final boss of Spirit Crucible Elpys is a phantasm that, whenever you get him down to 25% he goes invulnerable and multiplies. It seems there's a max of 6 at any given time. How do you kill him without him multiplying further?

 
@cazc_941 Those are pretty great

I have to work from home today, which I can do 80% of my job remotely.
 
@KevinvanderVelden Well, I was thinking about visiting some friends and then I realized that I wouldn't be able to play any games with them since my computer would be at home and they don't have Switches.
I mean, we could play on my Switch, I guess...
 
Ave
er, if you do actually do that, look out for a couple stuff, including ventilation and RF shielding.
 
RF shielding isn't a big issue actually, ventilation is the biggest one
 
@KevinvanderVelden No, the biggest concern would be getting through the airport without a cavity search.
 
Ave
3:47 PM
@KevinvanderVelden lack of rf shielding is a violation of FCC laws or guidelines or stuff I think,
not that they have any way of knowing
 
Heck, most of the pc-in-briefcases I've see are in an aluminum flightcase so they're already shielded
@Ave for things that are for sale
Not for things you've made yourself
 
Ave

true, totally forgot about that.
 
There's still broadcasting restrictions of course but unintentional emissions won't fall afoul of that
