Q: What are the chances of a critical shot in SteamWorld Heist?

Steven VascellaroMost weapons in SteamWorld Heist come with a set damage bonus for landing critical hits on an enemy. However, the game doesn’t make it clear how to land critical shots. From what I can tell, headshots aren’t guaranteed critical damage, but headshots do seem to have an increased chance of doing c...

 
@Unionhawk can you explain why that's wrong
Money fixes everything lol
 
@GnomeSlice A Ubisoft or whatever with more money would hire more devs to work everyone to the bone and get things done faster with no improvement on management conditions.
They'd spend it on reducing timelines
not on improving conditions
Ultimately the interests of the shareholder and the interests of the worker are not alligned
 
12:39 AM
@Unionhawk Which is as expected. But rarely is the abuse as bad as it is for game devs.
When it comes to highly skilled positions, anyways.
 
Yeah it's more pronounced in games
 
Retail and factory jobs are stupid.
 
I mean there is no such thing as unskilled labor that as a concept is designed to divide and conquer us but that's a whole different thing

Q: Do piercing weapons go through shields?

Steven VascellaroThe description for the Bone Piece weapon in SteamWorld Heist says that it "pierces characters" when fired. Does this piercing effect include characters with metal shields? Or will shots bounce off the shield?

 
@Frank automation will fix that (in that retail and factory jobs will be gone)
 
2:06 AM
@Frank as a retail worker, thank you
Some people need those jobs
@GodEmperorDune that sounds really bad
 
@GnomeSlice it’s a thing that is happening. I don’t think it’s avoidable long term
 
user15026
There are things that are hard to automate, but I suspect we will get there
 
user15026
@Frank Please elaborate.
 
@Ash In the sense that worker protections are more or less non-existent.

Q: Rename [gta-*] → [grand-theft-auto-*] to be consistent with other tags for the series

ThunderforgeThere are a number of tags for the Grand Theft Auto series of games, such as grand-theft-auto-5, grand-theft-auto-san-andreas, grand-theft-auto-5-ifruit, etc. However, this is inconsistent because there are a number of tags in the series that have a prefix of gta-, likely due to the former restri...

when looking for a video card which should i value more, memory or core clock?
 
The number on the box, duh.
The GTX 1070 is 10 better than the GTX1060. That's a full TEN better!
More serious answer: Look for benchmarks on games you play. The technical specs on graphics cards usually aren't very useful.

@PrivatePansy This is America and we don't respect ourselves
 
@TimStone Those all look really good.
Although I think peanut butter + mayo could use some extra stuff.
Like maybe crushed pistachios?

My mom often has a peanut butter (creamy not crunchy) and cheese slice (like Kraft singles) sandwich, on white bread (like Wonder bread, not anything else)

@Yuuki I like how the dog just doesn't even move
 
@Yuuki D:
@Ash The prospect of this greatly confuses my tongue
 
user15026
@TimStone I have never tried it so I have no idea how it tastes but she says its good
 
To be fair unsweetened peanut butter does go with savory surprisingly well.
I bought a jar of that, and my mom has been putting it everywhere. I prefer it with something sweet, but she prefers it with savory stuff
 
I mean that's true, peanuts themselves in dishes seem fine so I'll allow it. I mostly just don't like processed cheese slices, hmm 🤔
 
3:45 AM
@PrivatePansy so with all of these how should i weigh up my choices? just research the brands?
there, fixed it
 
I don't think the variation between manufacturers is very noteworthy?

no SSD?
 
@ASCII-only i honestly don't see why i need it. from what i understand it's not something that's useful for gaming and you'd want it for the OS to boot up faster

Q: Rename [shadow-of-mordor] → [middle-earth-shadow-of-mordor]

ThunderforgeMonolith Productions' two latest games set in the Lord of the Rings universe are Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and Middle-earth: Shadow of War. However, the tags of these two games are inconsistently named as shadow-of-mordor and middle-earth-shadow-of-war. Given that middle-earth-shadow-of-war...

 
4:30 AM
@Memor-X I've heard that an SSD can drastically improve level load times basically across the board
I've even started to see it listed as a prominent point in character builds for some games
"Get an SSD"
 
We should be finding out how much of a difference the previous/current first place runner's computer made in their 2:07 pretty soon
But yeah level loads can be way fast on ssd
 
so the extra 6:45 is just loading time?
 
Yeah, someone developed a tool with livesplit and the game to automatically pause the timer when in game time mode when the game is loading
Real time mode runs always

Looking for some help with my homework
important question
 
8:04 AM
calls the police
 
@Ave I don't get the joke
 
Ave
@Nzall It's loss
 
@Ave oh right, the CAD comic about the miscarriage
 
Ave
yup
 
@Ave This doesn't explain me anything.
 
8:13 AM
Actually the first hit on Google for "loss"
not counting the dictionary definition knowledge card
 
Essentially, the comic up until that point was just a jokefest about games, but all of a sudden it started getting more serious
 
Ok, so it's just exceedingly dumb.
 
Ave
@Arperum not exactly
It doesn't make too much sense and it can be simplified to just "| || \n || |_", or it can be very very complicated. It can be very subtle or very clear, it can be applied to many, many stuff, just because of how broad it is.
it's dubbed "best meme" by many because the meme started in 2008 and 10 years later, it's still a meme.
 
Yes. It's exceedingly dumb to make fun of miscarriage. I don't care if the original author forced it into his art somehow. It's a sudden and terrible thing. So having it happen completely unexpected in a comic sounds like an accurate depiction of life.
I rest my case.
 
Ave
The meme itself is not about miscarriage, but I see your point.
 
8:30 AM
@Arperum The main issue was that the comic up until that point pretty much was just your run of the mill gamer joke comic. But then they suddenly threw in a main character having a miscarriage as a suddenly serious arc, and a number of later arcs also had a decidedly darker tone
 
8:47 AM
@Nzall So very much like life, everything is fun and jokes and suddenly miscarriage out of fucking nowhere.
Note: I myself did not get involved in one, I know enough people who did though.
 
@Arperum which was completely opposed to everything the comic showed before that. It was a really controversial comic at the time
 
@Nzall Again, very much true to how it happens in real life.
 
I mean, before that, the comic was about a guy who worked in a game store and built a fully functional sapient robot from an Xbox
 
Yes. And who at some point got his girlfriend pregnant I guess. And then OUT OF FUCKING NOWHERE miscarriage. It sounds ridiculously accurate.
Either way, I'm done talking about it.

Q: Is there a limit on how far you can Hollow in Dark Souls II?

The Mattbat999In Dark Souls II, whenever you die, your character's Hollowing progresses a little more, reducing your Max Health slightly. However, I am unsure how far the Hollowing can progress, whether to a point of complete Hollowed or a limit on the Health reduction. Does anyone know?

Q: Why was my Destiny 2 drop such a low level?

ChildishforlifeI was playing through a Strike with a friend today and I got this drop. Even though my power level is 251, the defense on this piece of armor was only 10. It had good stats, but I don't understand why the defense is so low.

 
@Ash Alex loves (a) grapes and (b) things wrapped in foil

@ToxicFrog What about foil wrapped in grapes?

@quartata integrated graphics, laptop, 300 fps? pick only two please
 
Yes
I made many sacrifices however
No eyes for one
 
I mean, TF2 is not a very demanding game in 2018, but at 1080p it still takes more than a laptop integrated gpu's from few years ago can push at medium settings
not even sure if low settings would be enough for 1080p

10:38 PM
for instance I had absolutely zero antialiasing, not even trilinear
 
@quartata not within the in-game settings though
@quartata trilinear is not an anti aliasing setting, that's filtering :P
texture filtering to be specific
source games are very modifiable, but there's only so much you can change without going into console or .ini files
 
and the majority of players don't have the know-how to mess with those things
 
It's pretty damn easy, copy-paste file into folder
 
@quartata you're assuming that most people will even think to look that up
 
10:41 PM
All AA is some sort of filter
 
many people don't even know they can change settings beyond the default settings
 
still point is you can get a lot out of your game, if you want. Blaming it on hats is childish
Pros disable hats because of the contrast, not because of performance
 
@quartata I can see hats using more cpu power though, due to having to deal with so many more models
besides, the performance wasn't the main reason why they wanted to disable the hats in that question
at least the way I see it
 
> game is also under blame for severe performance issues
 
> Hats and other cosmetic items can greatly hamper visibility and may change the profile of classes entirely.
 
10:44 PM
I'm taking into account the ten million "ermahgerd 2007 TF2 looked SO MUCH SHINIER AND RAN SO MUCH BETTER BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW PHONG SHADING DEFAULT SETTINGS CHANGED IN 2013" posts that swarm the community like hornets
this to me comes off as someone riding that wave
No server owner would ever really enforce disabling hats onto their players
Unless they have a serious axe to grind
(especially since it couldn't be disabled after a client disconnected, it would apply everywhere until restart)
