@SaintWacko: a bit of a question on Darksiders II

Am I crazy to try the Crucible with a level 11 Death?

I'm getting nowhere past around wave 4...

(and yes, I understand that level 15 or higher is expected.)

SaintWacko

@DragonLord That's about as far as I've ever gotten. The Crucible is tough

Even just getting to wave 4, you'll get some fairly nice stuff

DragonLord

You can't exit until after wave 5.

... and every five waves thereafter.

@SaintWacko: What level was your character as of the last time you tried the Crucible?

@SaintWacko, are you around?

SaintWacko

Ohhh

Powerlord

So, John Carmack is the new CTO at Occulus Rift... but is also continuing to work at id and Armadillo Aerospace?

SaintWacko

6:12 PM

@DragonLord I forgot how it worked for a minute. Thought you meant the fourth set of 5 waves

I don't remember what level I am right now. Haven't played in a while

Let's see if Steam gives any hints

GnomeSlice

@Powerlord That's crazy

SaintWacko

@DragonLord Bah, doesn't have any level related achievements until level 30

I'll check tonight

If you think about it, ping me in four hours or so

DragonLord

Death caps at level 30 on a New Game+, and at level 22 on the first playthrough.

SaintWacko

I'll try to remember on my own, but no guarantees

Q: Diablo 3 Monster Power Requirements

I'm wondering what kind of Damage / Health / AR I should be aiming for (as a DH) to progress to higher MP levels. Looking to do Alk runs at higher level and key runs (at MP5 would be nice). I am currently at 150k dmg, 40k hp, ~58-60% resistances. Thanks

badp

@Powerlord does jarating an ubered player make them take minicrit knockback?

Powerlord

@badp No.

badp

bah.

Powerlord

They don't get the Jarated status while ubered. This applies to other negative status effects as well.

Having said that, backstabbing or otherwise critting them while Ubered WILL send them flying.

badp

@StrixVaria grats on your @origamirobot replica

Powerlord

6:24 PM

I almost killed an Uber Medic on Upward by doing that.

badp

looks pretty close to the original

Ben Brocka

@StrixVaria Saw that video, such a graceful robot

Powerlord

(it did break the heal beam, though, so the Soldier was no longer ubered. \o/)

Ben Brocka

Meanwhile at Nintendo: "Hey this cover art's alright but could you make it look like shit for the US version?"

OrigamiRobot

@badp I have much better self control.

@BenBrocka I actually like the US version better.

GnomeSlice

6:28 PM

@BenBrocka Doesn't look that bad to me

Ben Brocka

GnomeSlice

Does seem kind of weird though

badp

@BenBrocka I've seen worse

although I can't remember it

Ben Brocka

Link looks weird. And it's got that "real is brown" sort of look to it for no reason (which is hilariously opposed to the actual game's color)

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka I see gold, not brown.

Ben Brocka

6:29 PM

Bright happy game with sharp colors and stark contrast. Give a nearly monochrome look to the cover

Ronan Forman

I think they wanted the map to look like an olde mappe. Not sure why though.

badp

then it'd need some kind of cracks or something, and some blur or similar

Clearly, Link wasn't popping enough

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka Reminds me of the gold Zelda cartridges of ye olde times

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman Actually that makes sense.

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot the carts were gold, the art was still colored

OrigamiRobot

6:31 PM

@BenBrocka Just sayin.

user20683

@BenBrocka I like the US one, it puts the focus on Link more than the Japanese one does

StrixVaria

@BenBrocka Gives a whole new meaning to "duckface".

OrigamiRobot

GnomeSlice

daux.io

Why do programmers get all the cool shit

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice Because they're the ones who make cool shit?

Ben Brocka

6:35 PM

@WorldEngineer We know it's going to have Link though, that's not really the unique or new thing about the game

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria So do designers

user20683

@GnomeSlice but our cool shit runs

user20683

yours just kind of stands there or goes in circles

GnomeSlice

►

user20683

@GnomeSlice did you make that?

GnomeSlice

6:38 PM

@WorldEngineer No, but the place I did my internship at did.

►

I made that one.

I really should finish the one I started over my internship but I haven't been very motivated

This is it

Ronan Forman

@GnomeSlice Oh yeah, I never asked you how the internship went.

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman I really enjoyed it, but I think I was kind of slow.

I never finished the project I started, although I was working on a bunch of other stuff for them at the same time

It's been done for like 2 months now

still not done

but then again I haven't really looked at it

FEichinger

@GnomeSlice Is that the thing that reads the code from within Markdown, rather than the other way around?

GnomeSlice

@FEichinger wat (beats me)

It just looks cool.

FEichinger

@GnomeSlice Uh, right ... I forgot that you're not the one I should ask that question, sorry :P

GnomeSlice

6:42 PM

Yeah... =[

FEichinger

At any rate, "looks cool" likely means "is pretty crappy in practice" for programmers.

GnomeSlice

I'm going to get a bottom job like stocking shelves and that's going to end up being my career

murgatroid99

@FEichinger I think documentation is usually an exception to that.

Ronan Forman

@GnomeSlice Hush your nonsense.

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice You think I wanted to be a document control person for a year?

GnomeSlice

6:43 PM

@OrigamiRobot That sounds fun actually

What did you do

FEichinger

@murgatroid99 It depends. Programmers not documenting is usually based on two things: a) No motivation whatsoever. b) Who else is going to look at this anyway?/This is self-explanatory.

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice Put files in a shitty database program.

fbueckert

@FEichinger Or c) No time allotted to documentation.

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot Eh, data entry probably wouldn't be too bad

My friend did that at a blood clinic and apparently a lot of the forms people filled out were hilarious.

Plus his coworker was a 10/10 Iranian chick

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice After spending six years getting an engineering degree?

GnomeSlice

6:45 PM

@OrigamiRobot I just spent 3 getting a multimedia thing. But yeah that sucks.

FEichinger

@fbueckert Well, to be honest, doc really doesn't take that long. Unless it's forced. Then you just tell the code to shove it.

GnomeSlice

I can't do any of it.

I'm too slow.

Powerlord

I just realized earlier that the Origami Killer is the name of the bad guy in both Deadly Premonition and Heavy Rain.

fbueckert

@FEichinger Heh. Good luck with that one.

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman This is what I worked on at my internship mainly

OrigamiRobot

6:45 PM

@GnomeSlice The point is, sometimes you have to take shitty jobs.

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot I have never even had a job. I want to get a shitty job

And that will probably end up being what I stick with

I'm not good or confident enough at anything else to make a career out of it

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice So go get one.

GnomeSlice

I don't know how.

I don't really want to talk about it right now

OrigamiRobot

Step 1) Go somewhere
Step 2) Ask for an application
Step 3) Repeat until you have a job.

GnomeSlice

I don't drive

OrigamiRobot

6:47 PM

I didn't say drive.

GnomeSlice

I can't get anywhere.

OrigamiRobot

You live in the middle of nowhere?

GnomeSlice

Yeah

OrigamiRobot

How do you get food?

GnomeSlice

I live with my parents

OrigamiRobot

6:48 PM

How do they get food?

GnomeSlice

I'm going to start applying for some stuff soon though because all the summer jobs are opening up again as the students go back to school

OrigamiRobot

Step 4) Repeat until you have the job you want.

GnomeSlice

I want a job I can actually do

I didn't do terrifically at my internship

Also last day for Pushcat

Blem

where did you intern?

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice They will teach you what you need to do.

fbueckert

7:05 PM

So how'd our Char question get deleted this time? Super-delete, or was there enough members to delete it again?

Wipqozn

@fbueckert Members I believe.

Unless it got undeleted again.

fbueckert

@Wipqozn Not yet.

And hopefully it stays that way this time.

A: Why can't I absorb a dragon soul?

I have the mod I need but I think that is the problem

What the heck am I supposed to make out of that.

SaintWacko

@Arperum A "Not an answer" flag

Arperum

@SaintWacko Did that one already.

SaintWacko

7:09 PM

@fbueckert A better question would be "Why are there civilians in Charr?"

Except that's not a very difficult question

fbueckert

@Arperum What @SaintWacko said, and move on.

Arperum

@SaintWacko Because they have to live somewhere?

fbueckert

It will be deleted in short order.

@SaintWacko There aren't civilians on Charr.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert You can cast a delete vote multiple times.

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Ahh. That makes sense, then.

What's to stop questions from bouncing between deleted and undeleted states, then?

Trent Hawkins

7:14 PM

@fbueckert attention spans

fbueckert

@TrentHawkins This is on the internet, where people being wrong means a grudge a mile long.

Wipqozn

I'm assuming locking a post also stops it frmo being deleted.

Trent Hawkins

@fbueckert It's also on the internet, where people can't be bothered to type the Y and O in 'you'.

Wipqozn

@TrentHawkins wat r u talkin bout?

cc @AshleyNunn

fbueckert

@Wipqozn Ow

OrigamiRobot

7:17 PM

I like to imagine that every message from @TrentHawkins to @fbueckert or vice-versa is accompanied by one of them yelling PING IRL.

2

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot That'd have to be awfully loud, seeing as how I'm at work.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert Even better mental image.

Trent Hawkins

@OrigamiRobot going to start doing this now.

Wipqozn

@TrentHawkins Please do.

OrigamiRobot

My work here is done.

fbueckert

7:19 PM

@TrentHawkins I'm going to cut you off of the internet.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert Why are you so terrible. =[

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice If I was actually terrible, I'd do it instead of just threatening it.

I'd've also ignored you the instant you got unbanned, too.

Wipqozn

@fbueckert Not if @TrentHawkins changes the locks on the house before you get home!

Hiroto

I see things in my other rooms chat. Who is stabbing whom?

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert What, why? I thought we were friends?

Wipqozn

7:24 PM

@Hiroto What?

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice I'm going to have to leave that alone, or I really WILL be terrible.

Hiroto

@Wipqozn all I saw was "fbueckert: @TrentHawkins I'm going to cut you ..."

4

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert Can you please tell me

Wipqozn

@Hiroto Well, that's not stabbing at all. Cutting and stabbing are two different things.

Hiroto

details, details

GnomeSlice

7:26 PM

@Wipqozn Not on the street.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice The street's wrong.

GnomeSlice

►

I wish this had some resolution options

Trent Hawkins

@Wipqozn I'm waaay too lazy for that.

GnomeSlice

@TrentHawkins Just break them.

Wedge pencils in the keyslots.

Trent Hawkins

@GnomeSlice The difference between changing the locks and this is that one would theoretically allow me to continue coming and going as I please.

GnomeSlice

7:32 PM

@TrentHawkins Yeah, still working on that.

Order a ladder for the window.

Hm, but then he can use it.

Anyone up for atWar?

Q: What does the 'Strong' label mean exactly in PaD

I was playing Puzzles and Dragons in the special Wednesday dungeon of the masks (int) and on the 4th and 5th wave when they show the masks that are harder to beat. Sometimes depending on how much hp I have they'll have a strong indicator when I enter that wave and then it goes away. In the past ...

Q: Why californian super mutants are generally friendly while capital wasteland ones not?

In Fallout 3 there is only one friendly super mutant, while in NRC's territories seems that super mutants are quite friendly (e.g. Jackobstown near New Vegas). Are those differences explained somehow?
