@Elise Yes
I'm honestly really curious to see what kind of lasting power it has.
 
I don't really understand how it's going to be updated
 
Their plan is to roll out content updates like in the original, I guess?
 
if they update it, it's eventually just going to stop being "classic" and if they don't then... well, people already hate how there's not enough content
 
The question is how long will they go for, though. And will they eventually do a realm reset?
 
@Wipqozn but at what point does it stop being "classic"?
 
12:11 AM
I feel like the thing that makes the most sense is they basically make seasons like in Diablo. They're slowly ramp out new content up until the last pre-burning crusade patch, then eventually reset everything in a new season, and start all over?
 
is it just going to be WoW 10 years behind on updates?
 
@Elise yeah that's the thing no one seems able to decide on.
Some folks seem to think it's no expansions, other think it should be up until a certain expansion...

Q: Is it possible to check the Bell's block entity data?

Colin Bradford[Minecraft 1.14.4] I want to check when a player hits a village bell in minecraft, and then perform some action. After reading a bit on the minecraft wiki, it seems that bells have a block Entity Data entry named "keepPacked" that should be set to 1 if the bell is swaying (has been hit) or 0 if...

Q: My iPad thinks there is a controller connected

flowinglinc101I play Minecraft 1.12.0 with iOS 10.3.3. I know that it thinks there is a controller connected because on the menu, it says A:select or B:exit. I cannot see any of my touchscreen controls.

@Elise Afaik there's no clear path they're going down yet. Although OSRS has been pretty successful with their model. Maybe they'll do something similar

Q: How do I add a bottom texture to pumpkins?

fluff_thorrentI'm currently working on my own texture pack, and I want to add a pumpkin_bottom texture. I figured out that I should add it to the block model, but since pumpkins are defined as cube_column blocks, I tried changing them to cube_bottom_top blocks. However, this resulted in the textures breaking a...

 
10:17 AM
My father applied for a much more advanced therapy program at another hospital that only takes certain candidates and got accepted! He's on the waitlist now
He asked his doctor apparently the other day for a ballpark when she thinks he can come home and she said November
@Memor-X fantastic lol
 
@GnomeSlice That's awesome!
 
@GnomeSlice I must have missed something. Did your father suddenly have a lot of progress in his recovery? Last I heard (though this was a couple weeks ago) he was still in a lot of confusion about his environment
@Wipqozn AFAIK there are currently 3 main paths Blizzard can go on
The simplest one is just "reset and go through all phases again", maybe with different servers. However, this is the least likely since there are only so many times you can do the same content, and WoW isn't really designed to be played multiple times
A more involved but feasible option is "continue as we did 15 years ago", where Blizzard releases additional TBC servers and goes through another content cycle, allowing people to retain their Classic characters while being able to play on TBC servers all over again. Then once that's done, repeat with the next expansion. The main issue this brings is that certain expansion weren't as well received. I don't think there are many people that want to play Warlords of Draenor all over again.
A 3rd solution is the "OSRS" method, where Blizzard can apply the 15 years of experience they earned while developing the game and develop entirely new content for the game while not making the same mistakes they did in the past. I could actually see a blend of this and the option above of TBC realms where they release new content that's inspired by the previous expansion. However, this would take the most work of all options.
 
11:28 AM
Nice my guildmates are having 300min + queues
It's Tuesday afternoon here wtf. I guess a lot of people took the day off
 
@Jutschge Definitely. A buddy of mine took off most of the week.
 
Now I'm kinda happy I didn't take my vacation. Spending hours in a login queue isn't really the classic experience I'm looking for
But I do have a week off for the Borderlands 3 release. Super hyped for that game
 
@Jutschge But it is the classic experience, though.
 
Hmm I've only started playing at the end of BC. But I haven't really heard anything about long queue times from classic players tbh
 
@Jutschge Hmm, guess I won't be playing this evening then
 
11:42 AM
Then again I only know european players and the game released a year later here
@Nzall Around 5pm it's probably impossible to get in. I'll probably go bouldering until 10pm and then I'll try to login
 
@Jutschge Yeah, most likely, unless Nethergarde Keep isn't as popular
 
Ok we're playing on Firemaw. It was on "Full" 5 hours before release. I don't know about other realms
are you playing horde btw @Nzall?
 
@Jutschge Depends on whether I might somehow get into Shazzrah. if I can get into Shazzrah, I'll be playing Horde with Preach and friends, but otherwise it's going to be both factions on Nethergarde Keep
 
Is nethergarde a PvE realm?
Because you can't create horde and alliance on a PvP server
 
Yeah, Nethergarde is PvE. Shazzrah is PvP, but I'd only play there if I can get into Stark Industries with the rest of the Preach community
 
11:49 AM
Hm ok. I really want to play horde (because fuck alliance) but my guild plays alliance since they have paladins
 
ooo Fremennik Exiles poll blog
 
@Unionhawk Wait... is that a Fremmenik GM quest?
 
@Jutschge no just a new master level
After lunar diplomacy
 
Still pretty good
Fremmenik quests are nice

Q: First Person and Third Person Display in JSON Item Models (1.14)

RobomikeI've been trying for the last few hours and I can't get the right values for the scale, rotation, and translation of the items in the json file. I want it to look like the way you're holding the items as part of the game. Maybe you know the right values?

Q: What determines the chances of a coin appearing in an adventure game?

oliverthegreatI've played Plant vs Zombies for a long time, and I noticed that coins usually occur after near death situations, destroying tough zombies, destroying the last one, or by simply showing up randomly. Is there a pattern to this, or is this all just created by random?

 
12:33 PM
Great, my PC died last night and won't boot anymore...
 
@Elise won't boot as in what way? Do lights turn on if you push the power button?
Or do you not get past the POST?
or some other reason?

Q: Why does this redstone pulser circuit produce this result?

MikeTheLiarI was playing around with a self-referential comparator pulser and came across something I don't understand.

Q: Minecraft: Downwards Redstone Signal, No Redstone Dust

SamG101Is there any way to carry a redstone signal vertically downwards without using redstone dust, and the signal carrying system to have the dimensions of 1×n blocks??

 
@Wipqozn Eh in a week it'll still be fun probably
Also the game is only 5GB so it's really nothing compared to Retail (or modern games in general)

@Nzall I can get in bios, but it takes a few minutes. It can't find my HDD and if I just let it boot, it goes past the post window and just sits on the loading screen forever. I let it run for a few hours with no results
Unfortunately, my wife's parental leave ended today, so I don't even have time to be troubleshooting it...
 
@Elise Maybe a loose contact (idk if that's the correct term) with the HDD? I've had trouble with my graphics card yesterday and if turning it off and on won't help plugging it out and in again will often help
Also depending on the data: replacing a HDD isn't really too expensive. Downloading can be annoying but you can run that while you're away. (Then again if you do have important data it's probably not so easy)
 
1:28 PM
@Jutschge yeah, a loose contact will be the first thing I'll check when I have the time to actually open the thing up
It's just weird that it can't boot, since it's not my OS drive
 
Hmm if you open it make sure to have a look at the Mainboard code
 
The PC was running fine last night until I noticed the HDD was missing in Windows, so I rebooted and that was the end of it
 
Hm that's weird
 
I've had my SSD disappear from bios a few times before, for no reason, but turning the PC off for 15+ seconds usually fixed that
This time tho, my SSD is showing up fine
 
@Elise Your SSD dropped below the hot/crazy line
It's time to get a new one, and hope you can clone your existing one.
 
1:52 PM
@MBraedley like I said, my SSD is visible fine in UEFI, it's my secondary HDD that's missing. Not sure why it's not booting tho
 
Oh, sorry, only partly following chat. Yeah, that's probably dead too.
 
@MBraedley also, that post is really old. SSDs last much longer these days (I've only had it for 3.5 years)
 
Have you fully disconnected the HDD?
 
The HDD is about a year old
 
@Elise They can still go crazy, and when they do, there's no coming back.
 
1:54 PM
@MBraedley I haven't had the time to physically troubleshoot anything, because I'm babysitting my child today
 
Have them help
:P
 
I don't think trying to eat everything in sight would solve any of my issues 🤔
 
@Elise damn that's how I try to solve all my problems
 
Ave
@Elise 3y here.
it's running perfectly.
tho recently I moved to a better one
I might ship the old one off with my colo as the boot drive
speaking of I should buy a server for colo and see how much it'll cost to get a server from USA to netherlands
also!
ripe is running out of ipv4 by end of year

2:17 PM
F--k, Astral Chain is releasing this week.
I haven't even finished one route on Three Houses.
 
2:42 PM
@Yuuki That'll learn ya
 
@Yuuki oh word
Guess I'll be waiting a while on that one though
I can't afford to drop what I assume is like $90 on a game right now
I never even played nier but I bought it a long time ago for PS4, played it like once
 
2:58 PM
Speaking of SSDs, I ran into a fun issue a while back. Still not sure how to fix it.
Windows installed on regular HDD. User notices performance issues. PC shop can't find anything wrong, replaces HDD with SSD, images drive over.
Windows thinks it's a regular HDD, still. And things...lag, just a little. It's not as responsive as it should be.
I've never heard of Windows even running when the hardware doesn't match the installation; usually Windows just dies and you have to reinstall. So this is a new experience for me.
 
Awesome stop motion Spiderman animation
 
A Norwegian ISP has delayed a scheduled maintenance so it doesn't interfere with the WoW classic launch
 
It seems the WoW classic launch is interfering with the WoW classic launch though

I don't get the hype. Isn't current wow better?
 
3:06 PM
@Wrigglenite pretty much lol
 
@GnomeSlice It's mainly nostalgia towards a simpler time
 
@GnomeSlice Classic is more RPG and less MMO
 
@Nzall And also simpler leveling curves
 
For a lot of players the current WoW gear grind is just too insane, where there are a lot of grindy meters you need to fill just to be able to compete: Heart of Azeroth level, various essences for your spec, itemlevel, correct Azerite armor,... There is no real concept anymore of what is best for your class, because it is so dependent on what you do
 
I gotta say though. Leveling is objectively a more satisfying experience than in retail. Currently in retail if you level up you just become weaker
 
3:08 PM
I really hope that Blizzard will take note of the surge of interest in classic and accounts for it in 9.0
 
I tried to introduce a couple of people to WoW and by the time they reach level 100 they are just too exhausted. You don't get anything from leveling further and you lose power
 
Wait is retail what you call the normal version?
 
Older player tend to just bite through it since they know the "real" content is waiting at max level
@RedRiderX Yeah
 
When I think of retail I think of old wow discs on a shelf, that's all.
 
I vote for getting people on WoW classic then taking the time to do WoW 2.0.
The last two expansions have really showed the age of the WoW engine.
 
3:12 PM
@Nzall I gotta disagree with the "no concept of what's best for your class". Pretty much the opposite is true. There's insane theorycrafting for everything.
There's always an optimal way to do something but back in 2005 when classic first came out nobody knew how to play and to optimize
There were more people just playing for fun. Not to compete for Ranks. And the casual and Progress communities were separated
 
Efficiency wasn't invented until 2007
 
Nowadays you have people of all skill levels matched with eachother
 
Or thereabouts
 
Yeah osrs is suffering from a similar "problem"
Most of the people playing osrs now were kids back then and just played it because it was fancy and free
now you gotta get max xp/hr etc
 
Of course there was an efficient way to play rs2, we were just all stupid kids and didn't do it
 
3:15 PM
Yup. Well Zezima was the only one who was efficient lol
 
I literally trained cooking using the spawns in the cook's guild back in 2006
which is probably 300 xp/hr
 
I didn't understand english back when I started playing so I think it's safe to say I wasn't very effective
Also my highest skill was like 65
 
Getting into WoW in 2019 just seems like something you'll always be behind in
 
@GnomeSlice There's people with literally 15 years of experience in that game.
 
3:19 PM
Exactly
 
I mean, how do you define "behind"?
 
To be fair, it also depends on what you want out of an MMO.
 
If you're talking about gears and levels, catching up is super-easy.
 
@Yuuki idk if people are still playing it after 15 years there must be lots to do
Good look catching up in that regard
That's too intimidating for me to ever even consider joining wow imo
 
There isn't a lot of people who do absolutely everything though
 
3:21 PM
If you're going for hardcore, top-tier endgame raiding, it becomes a job.
 
Yeah I've heard
No thanks but I mean true of top tier players in most games
 
It's not hard to gear up for raiding, tbh.
 
If you're looking to play casually, and just have fun, there's no reason to even need to focus on any of that.
 
I got into wow in 2018 Gnome and also didn't buy a level up booster thing.
I think you're right there is that feeling of just playing in the kiddie pool.
 
For example, the wife and I play FF14 super casually.
 
3:21 PM
There was still a game there to be played though
 
@Frank Really depends. There's only about 5 daytime raiding guilds worldwide
 
You could probably just PUG endgame raiding after doing a couple of heroics and LFR raids.
 
And I got enough out of it that I totally get the appeal
 
We are nowhere near max level. We're just going through the story and all the sidequests together.
 
@Frank is that the new one? My sister met her last three boyfriends that way I'm pretty sure. Or two. She's going to the US to marry one of them this winter
She's apparently quite well known
 
3:23 PM
And I play a bit more on another character, mostly to level crafting classes to keep our other characters in top of the line gear.
 
@RedRiderX interesting
 
@Jutschge Doesn't have to be daytime raiding for it to be job-like.
 
@GnomeSlice If by new you mean...nine years, then yes.
 
@Yuuki I mean I don't see bouldering or going to the gym as a job of mine. It's something I enjoy and I will reserve time for
 
Uh.. maybe is it that old?
 
3:23 PM
Back when I was raiding it was the same
 
I was in a raiding guild for awhile and we had two or three nights of raiding a week that lasted at least 4-6 hours. And that was considered "casual".
 
She plays it on ps4
 
@GnomeSlice I'm also pretty certain that my level 1-30 experience would be pretty different if I was playing wow classic.
 
At the end, raid nights definitely felt like I was showing up to a job.
 
Yeah probably it's a completely different, older, and shittier game right?
 
3:24 PM
@GnomeSlice Yep. Three expansions in.
The older one is FF11; came out for PS2.
 
@Frank that's the one. Cool
 
@Yuuki True that's a feeling I can relate to. But then you can just quit.
 
Which I did.
 
I've spent 2 years in a cutting edge guild but I quit as soon as that feeling came up
 
@Jutschge And deal with the social pressure of letting your team down.
 
3:25 PM
My sister definitely takes it seriously... She's had to leave family functions to go home and raid with people in other time zones and things at weird hours
 
Literally the same reason people stick around in any job.
 
I think if I ever decide to pick up WoW (or any MMORPG) again, I'm going to roll DPS.
You get a lot of social pressure as a tank or healer.
If I roll a DPS, I imagine I'd feel a lot more replaceable and would therefore be more comfortable with skipping raid nights.
I might also avoid joining a raiding guild.
 
Yeah... we had another recruitment handicap that we only recruited swiss people (or in very few cases people who understood swiss-german)
 
I can just PUG for raids whenever I feel like it.
 
I play a tank with my wife, specifically so she can play DPS without needing to worry overly much about dying.
 
3:26 PM
And I still feel like i'm the only swiss dude playing disc priest
 
@GnomeSlice If you're talking about wow still then: Eh there would certainly be some mechanical improvements missing but from what I heard the pacing might be a bit better on classic
for that early game stuff
 
I was a tank with healer offspec for awhile and there was just a lot of pressure to show up for raid nights because our guild only had three tanks, myself included.
If I didn't show up, sometimes raiding would just be canceled.
 
Yeah for me one of the problems was in the army during our G'huun progress. As the only disc priest in the guild
that was fun
 
I really felt like I was being lead through some version of Around Azeroth in 80 days
 
we lost like 200 world ranks
 
3:28 PM
The last MMO I tried was RuneScape 3 for about ten minutes, uninstalled
 
@GnomeSlice MTXScape
 
Before that was Wurm online cause I wanted to be a sailing merchant, uninstalled
Game sucks
 
Osrs is fun if you ignore the shitty graphics
 
repoll :clap: sailing :clap: in :clap: osrs :clap:
 
@Jutschge This is why it feels like a job.
 
3:29 PM
What's osrs
 
@GnomeSlice the good runescape (oldschool runescape)
 
@Unionhawk I'm on mobile and I can't even see those emotes
Oh I played old school for like a week back when it was new
I ignored the first quest giver and got lost across the world, set my guy to follow a random person and got up for an hour came back and was banned or something

Is this how its supposed to be? Or do i need to do something first to make the mission disapear? I ha...

 
It seemed fun tho
 
@GnomeSlice lol
 
3:31 PM
I just love the quests in osrs
 
At that time
 
Each quest is like its own point&click adventure
And most of them have excellent writing
@Frank Honestly the raiding isn't even the problem. It's mostly the preparation
From my experience raid-night itself has always been fun and I've always looked forward to it. The main problem was the constant grinding and theorycrafting you had to do until you were able to raid
for 3 hours of raiding it was about 12 hours of grinding AP and analyzing logs
Fun times. Now I'll be stuck in traffic for an hour just to be stuck in the login queue for classic later. Hype
 
Ave
@GnomeSlice lol
i think my darkscape acc where i botted for fun is still live no-- oh wait they killed darkscape
 
@GnomeSlice While nostalgia definitely plays a role, I'd say that it's similar to other cases when comparing newer games to older ones: Some stuff is better, some is worse.
 
3:46 PM
@Jutschge Yeah, but in order to raid, you have to do all this prep.
 
@Jutschge And then you'll be stuck in queues for quest mobs.
 
@Wipqozn fair I suppose. Dark souls 1 I prefer to 2 but not to 3
Well that's a tough call actually
I just find the engine more fun to navigate
 
Speaking of Dark Souls, a couple of my friends are talking about Remnant of Ashes.
Correction, Remnant: From the Ashes.
 
Yeah it's fun
I have it
It doesn't feel as much like a clone as I was worried
It's definitely more of a shooter too
I wish it had a cover system but it doesn't really need it
 
Is it like Dark Souls where any weapon you pick up is viable for the entire game?
 
3:56 PM
Yeah you can upgrade them. I've got maybe a dozen hours and only have three main weapons and two sidearms though
Enemies don't drop them like in souls you have to craft them with "boss souls"
Or find them I guess in specific places although the campaigns are randomized which is cool
 
Maybe I'll pick it up then. Three-player co-op is a bit of a shame though since my group is four people.
 
hmm, i have roughly as many delete votes as I have up/down votes combined
 
Same reason why we haven't played Apex Legends at all.
 
@Yuuki You know which game has 4-people parties
 
@Wrigglenite warframe
 
3:59 PM
@Wrigglenite ... Mario?
 
Ah. Yeah
The party system is worlds better than dark souls for straight co-op although much less unique lol

4:17 PM
Yay
Guess I'm playing on another realm
 
@Jutschge I'm less talking about "what's the optimal way to do something" and more about "how do I get the best gear for me?". Because of Titanforging, player content preferences etc, there is no single best way to play your character you can easily strive for. Often case, the best gear is hidden either behind huge amounts of RNG or content you don't like
@Jutschge If you want, Nethergarde is quite empty
Only had a 500 player queue
 
Hmm that's PvE though...
 
@Nzall Ugh, Titanforging.
At first, I liked it because getting a Titanforge proc on some LFR gear was a shortcut for the gear grind getting into Heroic or Mythic raiding.
But then once you get into Heroic or Mythic, Titanforging was a PITA.
 
@Jutschge what we can also do is you say which realm you got into, and then I join you on that realm if possible
 
@Nzall Eh I'll create an Undead on Nethergarde. Idk how much I'll play though
Titanforging is the worst
 
4:25 PM
@Jutschge I'm creating an undead too
 
It devalues high item levels since everyone can get it through RNG and people trying to maximize their output have to hope on good forges to compete in world logs
 
I assume you're gonna play Priest?
 
Warrior
 
my SE email said that they would try to responsd within 24 hours. it has been almost 5 days :(
 
I like pain (god leveling will be awful)
 
4:25 PM
Okay, I'll have to see what I'll play then
 
I've actually mained hunter for about 10 years and warrior for two. I only played priest in the latest guild
Although my very first character was an undead priest and I deleted him after level 3 since I had to spend all my copper on water

@MageXy the latter. I dream extremely rarely
A handful of times a year
I've been studied on at the hospital a few times

5:37 PM
This looks dope
 
@GnomeSlice No, definitely not, haha. I'm kind of the opposite of you, I typically have lucid dreams most nights. But it's not the dreams that make me feel well rested
Although every now and then I have a dream where I'm trying to fall asleep but can't get comfortable. So I spend the entire night dreaming that I can't fall asleep. Very exhausting the next day lol
 
0% of my sleep cycle is stage 4 except I guess for once or twice A year
You have no idea what I would give for that lol

Q: i cant get winrar to unzip my minecraft mods for 1.14

chrystiani've tried 7zip i've tried Winrar i just have to use forge mods at the moment i just need some help or advice i press extract here and nothing happens to the files and when they do they're not jar files

 
@GnomeSlice i havent had dreams for probably the last 12-15 years. at least none that i remember on waking up
 
Weird. Maybe it's the same. Usually people dream and just don't remember
 
So kinda weird question, do you do a lot of imagining? Imagine yourself in crazy scenarios and think of how you'd react?
I'm constantly imagining plots for fantasy stories, mostly because I'm a DM for a DnD campaign, and I think that an active imagination helps the dreaming process
But I'm not neuroscientist, so this is total speculation
 
6:25 PM
@MageXy In that case, my imagination must be truly crazy. I recently had a dream where I partially bit off, chewed and swallowed an intimate part of my anatomy. Not the first time I dream about that part getting mutilated somehow either. No idea where dreams like that come from
They're quite disturbing and not really something I enjoy
 
6:43 PM
@MageXy i have a fairly active imagination.
it was more active when i was younger. but i only had dreams when i was really young

Dammit DisplayPort, why do you have to have a fully active connection to the display in order to not suck?

@MageXy sort of... I have a tendency to play out scenarios in my head like conversations I want to have i think I might have so I can practice I guess. Sometimes I speak out loud to myself and seem crazy. I think I'm a bit weird
@Nzall wtf dude, lol
That must have been unpleasant
Don't miss bad dreams tbh
I had a bad dream a few days after my dad's incident. I don't remember it but it was bad

Q: Kotor 2 zoomed in on top left of screen, with major resolution issues

RNPFFor many people, kotor 2, as downloaded, is an unplayable mess because of scaling issues.

Q: How long is a 'Mario Second' and is there a reason why it seems to be shorter than a real second?

Fredy31In all Mario games where theres a timer (like the original Mario Bros and Super Mario Maker) the seconds on the timer... well... don't seem to be real second. It seems to be more in the range of .5 to .75 of a real second. So how long is that second (does it vary from game to game) and is there ...

 
@GnomeSlice It wasn't all that bad. But going into detail further would probably a mix of TMI and ToS
 
Hey y'all! If I have a question about a specific Sudoku puzzle, am I good to ask about it here? Or is there a better SE site for that? I am playing it on my phone, so technically it's a "video game." But not sure if that'll fly with everyone
 
@scohe001 we got a special stack for puzzles
 
@MBraedley The best I can tell DisplayPort was largely a mistake, even though I've been too lazy to switch my monitors over daisy chaining has been nothing but pain for me
 
7:48 PM
@scohe001 Do you need help with the game, or solving the puzzle?
 
Which includes sudokus
 
@Nzall yep
I posted a fucked up dream I had here one time and got banned
 
@Frank solving a specific puzzle. But looking for techniques I can use in any puzzle to solve this specific situation. So a little of both?
 
In retrospect it was pretty dumb
 
@scohe001 That wouldn't really be a gaming sort of issue, then.
 
7:49 PM
@Nzall eh isn't that usually for original puzzles though?
 
@scohe001 No, also for advice on solving existing puzzles
 
I was just excited cause it had been a few years between dreams for that one
 
AFAIK
 
@scohe001 he means like if you're using an app is the app giving you trouble or are you just trying to solve it
This stacks for video games only
 
7:50 PM
I would just take it to puzzling ^
 
There are analogs to physical games, and I think an argument could be made for here, but it'd be stretching, a little.
 
Eh, I think it fits better there
Or on math
 
@GnomeSlice ah no. That makes sense
@Nzall gotcha. I'll give it a shot over there
Thanks guys!
 
Word. Peace friend
 
@TimStone DisplayPort is superior in many ways to other connectors, but is the only connector where you can't send a signal "in the blind". My computer doesn't care if my HDMI or DVI monitor (or VGA for that matter) is on because it at least knows something is there on the other end.
I should switch to the HDMI output into my KVM at home so that swapping displays doesn't cause windows to rearrange.

Q: How to kill sharks whilst underwater?

David YellI find fighting sharks whilst underwater one of the biggest challenges in the game. I have taken to employing the Assassins Creed Black Flag technique of hiding from them instead of engaging them. Is there a sound and reliable tactic for dealing with sharks?

@Dragonrage ooo aurelion sol buffs
@MBraedley ... why did they turn off one of your monitors?
 
@Yuuki enough to make him relevant again?
 
@Dragonrage Not sure if it'll make him relevant but it's a minor rework.
His W isn't a toggle anymore.
Well, it's a quasi-toggle.
It either lasts 3 seconds or until you reactivate it, whichever comes first.
In return, his passive doesn't go away on being CC'd.
 
@Yuuki because it was a button to press
 
@MBraedley ... i have more questions
 
@Yuuki im not sure what that is supposed to change.
 
8:45 PM
I don't know if I like that they removed his "move faster after moving in a straight line for awhile" mechanic.
@Dragonrage According to them, they're trying to make him more approachable?
They shifted Kayle's passive earlier and removed the on-hit true damage waves.
Or rather they removed the true damage aspect of the waves.
 
if anything it would be a nerf to his wave clear
 
> We're making Aurelion Sol more vulnerable to counterplay in the early game so that we have room to buff his scaling and presence in the late game. His adjusted W should also help make him a more approachable champion to those new to him, with clearer indicators of success and more satisfying in-game payoff.
After his stars retract from W, he gets a 40% movement speed buff.
Hmm... I suppose that makes up for the loss of "traveling faster in a straight line" passive.
 
so he gets a slight damage buff to compensate for not being able to shove waves as safely
and kayle loses wave clear early and damage late so she can be ranged earlier
 
They did need to flatten out Kayle's power curve.
Completely useless early game and raid boss late game is rough.
 
being ranged early will help her in lane a bit during laning phase. but losing all wave clear till level 11 is pretty rough imo
 
8:59 PM
She couldn't really take advantage of her waveclear passive before she turned ranged anyway though.

Q: Are there consequences for taking the dragon phylactery out of the Rymrgand''s realm?

YasskierIn the "Beast of Winter" DLC for POE2, your main task is to deal with an undead dragon, who keeps trying to escape the Rymgrand's (the god of ending and entropy) realm. But in the end, you don't have to actually fight the dragon - with enough skills, you can tell her that you will take the artefa...

Q: Is there a way to transfer xbox 360 HDD contents to a PC hard drive?

pluI'm running out of space on my 360's HDD. There are several installed downloaded games on it. To clear up space, rather than deleting games (and then later redownloading from Xbox Live when needed), is there a way to just transfer the related files to a PC hard drive for local storage?

So got Steam up and running. only issue was when it cane to starting up. it seems when on a new system after being copied over the Steam Service program needs to fix itself and if you have about 3TB of games, it might seem as if the thing is broken when really it had to go though every game. renaming/moving steampps lets it fix itself much quicker since the folder is re-created and then you can move everything back without issue
assuming no more issues i might finally play Borderlands 2 tonight at long last
also, i learned that Rebel Galaxy on PC can play custom music which wasn't an option on the PS4. so going to get the variations of this song playing as i travel the galaxy
and maybe some of Assassin's Creed: Black Flag's Sea Shanties
