Anyways, not a fan of being singled out, and I know it wasn't meant that way. It's time for me to go home.
 
@fbueckert Do you mind if I single you out as super classy? Because you are.
 
@Wipqozn No! No singling me out! I'm one of the herd!
 
@fbueckert I agree with both of you to be honest.
I personally feel that despite how much we rage and vent in here about people, that if one of those people came into chat we'd be welcoming and helpful to them. However, to an outsider looking in it's not going to be that way. If we're raging about a user in here a lot, and they see that, they're not going to think they're welcome in here. They would be, but that's not how it's going to appear to the.
 
Ugh, rewriting code is hard.
 
Ok, I think I'm kind of caught up on the drama now.
 
9:04 PM
@StrixVaria Good job.
also, lol at @Sterno missing drama gain.
 
Reading chat log backwards is tough. It's too bad I'm not a robot so I don't have an internal context stack.
 
@RonanForman write it right the first time ;)
 
@Wipqozn Hasn't this happened in the past with some users?
I vaguely remember at least one instance where someone mentioned that people were 'trashing' them in chat or something
 
@GnomeSlice Closest I can remember is retro finding us in the escape pod.
 
@GnomeSlice What do you mean by "this"?
Users coming into chat and being harassed, or just seeing us talking about them in here?
If you mean the former, I can't think of any examples. If you mean the latter then I also vaguely remember an incident with a user making a meta about people trashing them in chat.
 
9:12 PM
@Wipqozn Yeah, the second one.
 
@GnomeSlice I'm not sure that was a joke, or fi you're doing that on purpose.
 
@Wipqozn oops.
I read it and then my brain thought it was two messages.
fixt
 
I'm not going to say that venting isn't healthy/therapeutic/occasionally just plain fun, but I will remind y'all that this is a public, Google-indexed chat room. In theory, finding anything said in here wouldn't be too hard.
 
@AnnaLear yes, like this:
Aug 19 '11 at 13:49, by Anna Lear
Fresh blood..... evil snicker
 
Exactly.
 
9:14 PM
@BenBrocka not so evil snicker
 
Anyways, I'm hungry, and I've shared my 2-cents in the issue. I don't think banning venting is a good idea (And I'm aware most people weren't suggesting that), but we may want to tone back how much we do it and also be careful how we do it. I know I vent a lot in here, and I'm sure I've gone over the line at times as well.
 
@AnnaLear oops
 
So it would be best if we ended the drama before @Sterno gets here to enjoy it. I think we can all agree that would be the worst possible thing.
 
We should be talking about how delicious these pumpkin seeds I'm eating are. Except for that bad one, it was nasty.
@Wipqozn Motion seconded. NO DRAMA FOR @Sterno!
 
My foods too hot and now I need to wait for it to cool off.
Life sucks.

Q: How can I tell if a hidden stash or an enemy is within my honor range?

JayThere is a range within which discovering hidden stashes and attacking enemy camps will reward you honor points. This can easily be seen because the map around you is highlighted a light shade of red when you click on one of these stashes or camps. However, there are sometimes camps and stashes t...

Q: Help with Tracker Smurf

user53736Every time Tracker Smurf is in the village I am told that he isn't there and that he needs internet connection. I have internet, I have tried to reboot my phone, and just close out of the game and go back in it. It has been ongoing ever since I put the cauldron in.

 
@Lazers
Is that even a tag
 
@GnomeSlice It is now, obviously.
 
@AnnaLear Any way you look at it, though, if someone wants to be offended, they can take the most innocuous statements out of context.
 
@fbueckert Sure. That's not a reason to avoid making a reasonable effort to avoid offending someone, though.
Key words being "reasonable effort".
 
humblebundle.com cant take the presure?
 
9:26 PM
@AnnaLear If constructive criticism of a user's posts offends them, then I dunno what we can do. I don't think we often go over the line and actually start attacking the user themself.
 
@Blem That counter's not going to last. Have they broken 7 digits before?
 
I discribed the problem, if nobody wants to help, well fine. Plenty of other sites out there, no problem at all :D — leetfan 29 mins ago
Ok, somebody else step in here to point out his question's too broad, please.
 
@GnomeSlice It's also a skill you can add to your CV (according to some personel of the official thing that helps you get a job)
 
Skills: internet
Likes: Fiber, cable. Dislikes: Phone lines, unshielded cables
 
@BenBrocka nop, THQ sold 885,370
 
9:28 PM
Exactly: Skills: internet: good.
And then you ask yourself how those people are still alive.
 
@Blem Huh. Unless 50% of their sales are usually in the first day, they look set to break 1 million here
 
My girlfriend was REQUIRED to add that... because she didn't fill in the completely irrelevant skilllist.
 
@Blem Why anyone buys that is beyond me ...
 
@Arperum What would be funny is if you put that on your resume, show up for the interview and the guy across the desk starts talking to you in HTTP
You reply in UDP and he's like "woah slow down there hotshot"
 
@FEichinger it has steam keys for most of them!
 
9:32 PM
@Mana Doesn't change the part where most of the games are meh.
 
@FEichinger Dead Space, Mirror's Edge, Burnout
 
:'(
 
Apparently Windows 8.1 now has a release date: October 17
 
That's Dustforce's sales.
 
Any last words?
 
9:33 PM
~35% of the sales were on the first day.
 
@BenBrocka I love you <3
 
@BenBrocka Oh for heaven's sake. Not again:
 
@BenBrocka That would be rather awesome.
 
You guys are obsessed with Mana. I'm beginning to think you're all playing mages or something.
 
9:36 PM
Holy hell. The HiB comes with Steam keys for the games too. o_o
 
@Fluttershy I almost passed until I saw that. I HAVE origin, but the main appeal was Dead Space and Burnout on Steam
Have Dead Space on PS3 ubt now that I have a gaming desktop I'd rather have it on PC too
 
Only some of them
 
All but BF3 and Sims 3
(the games I care the least about)

Q: Change Windows Resolution for Certain Program

LinkSo, I'm trying to run a game, and it only supports the resolution of 1280x768 (as well as a few lower ones) and my laptop (Windows 7) supports that resolution, as well as my normally used one of 1366x768. Essentially the question is is there some sort of program or hack that will automatically ch...

 
9:38 PM
@BenBrocka And Dead Space 3
 
@Ullallulloo Oh, right. Forgot that one since I already havei t
There are profanify filters that filter CSS?! What the fuck
There is no reason for those to be touching CSS or JS other than to break stuff
 
@BenBrocka HTTP is unencrypted; a firewall reading the inbound message could easily discard it for that.
 
I know it can't, it just shouldn't
 
@BenBrocka Of course it's stupid. But it makes sense (reduces the logic needed in the filter, as it doesn't have to arbitrarily ignore some messages).
 
@Fluttershy When you look at pretty much any HIB, where there are the box shots for the games, below those are icons for the supported platforms. For the sale that started today, all but 2 of the listed items (DS3 & BF3) had Steam icons. It's always worth taking a look for the Steam icons if you really like to have your stuff on Steam. It's in the fine print, but the icons I find are a quicker visual way to know which games it applies to.
 
9:42 PM
@BenBrocka JS could make quite a bit of stuff happen though.
 
@Ullallulloo IDeally you're blocking known bad sites, not everything that has a naughty no-no word
What happens if someone emails me with the F word?
 
@BenBrocka Email doesn't come through, I would assume.
 
I like how the dog's just like of like "um okay wait what was that"
 
@Powerlord that dog's not lazy.
 
9:44 PM
It doesn't move much
 
@Powerlord But why did this happen?
 
@Arperum No idea, a friend linked it to me
 
@Arperum Maybe english.stackexchange.com can help with that?
 
Now someone linked me to a Youtube channel that features a dog painting.
 
@Powerlord Everything exists on the internet, get over it
 
@skovacs1 No online play, only local. It's silly.
 
@Wipqozn serious? blech.
store.steampowered.com/app/243120 looks hard on the eyes
 
@skovacs1 Probably better in motion.
 
@FEichinger I think there will still be a lot of "what the hell am I looking at?" moments.

@Lazers Dupe! I am pretty sure I already asked this.
 
> This question does not have an upvoted or accepted answer
Mods! You are needed!
 
user15026
@fbueckert Really? Is there an answer at all?
 
@AshleyNunn None at all.
It's linked on that new question already, btw.
 
So did we actually change our processes at all due to the dupe closure change, or did we just decide mods would do it when we couldn't anymore?
 
user15026
I am not really paying a lot of attention, tbh, trying to hep a firend stuck in Tortonto
 
9:58 PM
@fbueckert The only thing we changed was that we now complain about the change every time we hit that wall.
 
@FEichinger Oh. Well, consider this complaining, then.
 
@AshleyNunn Aside from plane/airport difficulties, how do you get stuck in Toronto? It's like a big hub and, to my knowledge, provides access to many forms of transportation.
 
user15026
@skovacs1 He is trying to get from TO to here
 
user15026
which is really the problem
 
user15026
because of traffic, the bus that would connect him to the train to here is late
 
user15026
10:01 PM
and thus he has likley missed his train
 
user15026
so now I am trying to figure out another way for him to get here
 
@AshleyNunn Understood.
 
@AshleyNunn I read that as from to to here
 
@AshleyNunn Catch a later train? Rent a car>
 
With an emphasis on the first to
 
user15026
10:03 PM
@skovacs1 No later train, so I am trying to help him figure out greyhound. He doesn't have a lot of money, and can't drive.
 
@AshleyNunn I hear that. I do so hate the Greyhound. Being in the middle of nowhere as I am at present leaves me few alternatives though.

Q: Origin games deletion

matan129It's a bit of a silly question, but I want to be sure. I've heard that Origin deletes games from your account if you don't play them for a while, is that true (both F2P games and paid ones)?

Q: Mirrors Edge video settings are locked

StephanHow do you change the video settings in Mirror's Edge? For me they are all grayed out and locked except for contrast and brightness. I need to turn off PhysX because I go from 60fps to 1fps whenever glass breaks.

 
Haven't had Origin installed on this box for a while apparently, but the links and most files (not the .exe) were still sitting there. Just cleared the old install and re-installed only to find a "message of the day" stating that code redemption is unavailable. Is Origin so problem ridden that they need a message every day to notify users what isn't working on a given day?
 
user15026
@skovacs1 That is horrifying
 
@AshleyNunn I know, re-installing Origin. Still gives me the creeps :)
I don't recall there being messages of the day though. Especially since it's before it even reached the login form.
 
10:17 PM
So...why is the Ouya wanting exclusives now?
 
user15026
@fbueckert because that makes zero sense I suppose is why
 
Doesn't that run counter to their entire platform as an open single hardware multi-device operating system?
 
@fbueckert Peer pressure? Me too attitude? A severe need to boost sales and desperately resorting to forcing an ultimatum on gamers in order to do so?
 
@skovacs1 It's counter to the entire reason they were making an Android console to begin with.
 
@fbueckert That's a reason not to want exclusives. You asked for reasons that would/do want exclusives. I supplied.
 
10:23 PM
@fbueckert Of course it is. Turning straight around is the new in-thing with consoles now.
 
@FEichinger Xbone burn...
 
@skovacs1 The implication inherent in the statement is that it runs counter to their previously stated aims.
 
What I find interesting, though, is the question as to how they're gonna enforce exclusivity on an Android derivative ...
 
@fbueckert Hey. You ask a "why does such and such?" question and I don't read into it or your motives for asking. I answer it as best I can. And regardless of your motivations for asking, my answers are still valid as possibilities.
@FEichinger this
 
user15026
@FEichinger Yeah, I am not entirely sure how that is going to work
 
10:35 PM
@AshleyNunn It screams either full DRM or "only available through our store" - neither of which is particularly great an idea for a console that was revealed as "open" ...
 
@FEichinger And even if they use their own walled garden, it still can't be enforced.
 
Why would it not mean simply program to the ouya api and ignore any others?
 
@fbueckert Well, I'm not talking about actual physical enforced, we all know that that is hardly ever possible at all, much less there.
 
@tugs The Ouya API is the Android API.
 
I'm talking about their theory and "binding agreements" they set behind it.
 
10:37 PM
@fbueckert The ouya controller stuff looks pretty device specific

I know everyone likes to hate on EA, but since Riccitiello left, they've actually been making some really good decisions. Goodbye to online passes for example.
 
I guess it's not all bad, though. EA is giving everything to charity (you don't even have the option of giving them a cut), and Origin isn't that terrible.

user15026
@spugsley You're welcome :D
 
user15026
Also, I suspect I will eat this entire pound of bacon and I dont even feel bad
 
10:54 PM
@Brant As more and more games drop GFWL in favor of Steamworks, it becomes less of a risk. Arkham Origins for example.
 
@Fluttershy wtf is that anyway?
 
@Powerlord The Xbox One.
 
@Fluttershy I like how the internet exploded on xbone.
Speaking of, they just announced delays for launch in Europe. Down to 13 markets in stead of the previously announced 21.
 
@skovacs1 It's a console purely for North America, and we should just accept that.
 
10:58 PM
You can summarize my feelings about the xbone with the phrase "lol, hubris"
 
@Brant I can think of a few other consoles that make me think that.
 
Preorders for day one editions in affected countries get a free unspecified game if that matters.
 
PS3 and WiiU for instance.
 
@Wipqozn Every. Damn. Time.
 
@Powerlord I see it more as naivety than hubris. No games and not knowing the right price point off the bat are things that come as a matter of testing the waters. Other bad decisions can be explained in this way and at least xbone is trying to make up for it. They f'd up. It happens. Flippant attitude to consumers for taking issue with bad decisions -> hubris.
 
11:04 PM
@skovacs1 The PS3 was definitely hubris. They assumed people would pay more because it was Sony releasing a new console with new hardware. And it turns out that they were wrong.
 
I will say that we should probably talk about newbies the same way in here that we would directly in the comments to them. Time and again newbies have proven that they do sometimes read what we say in chat, even if they don't ever post in here.
Even simply showing exasperation with them can come off extremely negative.
 
+1, the idea of The Bridge being known as somewhere that long-timers make fun or complain about newbies is anathema to me. When I see people doing it in here I want to smack them. (Not directed at anyone in particular since I can't remember any specific examples off the top of my head anyway)
I think the Wii U is more cluelessness/willful ignorance than hubris.
 
Just being newbies and getting downvotes and comments already makes them feel like they're doing something wrong (which they probably are), which immediately makes them defensive. So it's easy to take even minor criticisms they see in here and take them very harshly and think we're all a bunch of dicks making fun of them (which to be fair, once in a while we are)
 
@Powerlord They assumed because they didn't know. How many $600 consoles were released before that one for them to evaluate sales performance against? They didn't insult or belittle their consumers and once they saw their mistake, they started production on lower-cost models. New models of PS3 came out very quickly after the initial launch when compared to the launch of new SKUs for other systems.
 
Can I still make fun of SciFi?
 
11:11 PM
I'd like to think I'm more considerate, but I don't have everything I've ever said in chat ready to reference to say one way or the other. I know I come off kurt at times in my attempts to be concise, but if you knew how verbose I am, you'd appreciate it. I agree with you either way.

Is this in reference to something in specific?
 
No. But in general I know we say things that are not the kindest. I know I've said them. I know other people have. And the observation that it's been getting worse feels accurate to me.
 
@skovacs1 To my knowledge, 1 or 2. Both of which flopped.
 
@Powerlord Fair enough then. I don't recall. The price point may have been hubris then. At least they were on top of damage control, indicating a willingness to admit their mistake.
 
Yeah, I mean everyone pastes examples of bad posts in here all the time and that's fine, but following it up with insults isn't right. Don't use the semi-private nature of chat to stay stuff you wouldn't say to the poster's face.
 
@Brant So I can still make fun of SciFi! Whew!
 
11:14 PM
@Brant and I imagine someone talking to a poster on the wall.
 
Honestly, a pretty good guideline is that discussing a post is good, discussing a user is bad.
Nothing constructive is going to come out of us sitting around discussing how a user's posts suck
 
@Sterno Wouldn't abusive users posting crap and in clear need of the banhammer be a valid topic of discussion?
 
@skovacs1 Sure, but I don't think we're really talking about abusive users/spammers
No one is worried about their feelings
 
@Sterno And yet that happens in here a lot. Otherwise, I wouldn't have any idea who YoungGuilo is since I don't actually visit the site.
 
@Powerlord Agreed.
 
11:16 PM
@Sterno Fair enough, but I'm just trying to make sure that the lines are clear.
 
Anyway, I suspect @Mana bringing it up will have the desired effect of reducing this kind of talk overall.
 
@Powerlord Not to be rude, but who is YoungGuilo? I saw them Yesterday I think for the first time. I feel like I'm missing context to understand this comment. I don't usually visit chat, but usually visit the site.
 
@skovacs1 Judging from chat, it's someone who the regulars in here thinks posts "low quality" questions and answers.
 
BREAKING NEWS AT THIS HOUR: I finally got a booster pack to drop!
 
@Brant SELL IT
 
11:20 PM
@Brant Which game?
 
Defense Grid.
I can get a whole 40 cents for it.
 
@Brant You monster.
 
@Powerlord Are they? I thought based on context that it could've been someone who comes to chat for help improving "low quality" Q&A or who came into chat during some sort of flaming of their Q&A?
 
@skovacs1 I haven't seen YoungGuilo in chat.
Maybe he's been here when I haven't been here, though.

Q: What is a reasonable approach to deal with other Arqade users that seem to be ratting on you?

Young GuiloWhat should I do if I believe users are just saying things to make me look bad? This happened with NoneOfYourBuisness and now it's happening with me. I don't want to delete my account because I want to help people. What should I do? I'm done.

 
11:23 PM
@Powerlord Maybe I was mistaken. I thought I saw them yesterday. I hardly remember most people that I don't see a lot of posts from. Strix, ==, Sterno, Brant, Ashley, spugs, gnome, fbueckert, fredley, wipq, etc. Not in chat as much as seeing their Q&A's.
 
You should have thrown @ in front of all those for the mega ping of doom
 
I don't really post as much as I used to.
 
I look up to them. Role models of expected Q&A behaviour.
 
user15026
@Sterno Oh my
 
@AshleyNunn It's like a million pings cried out as one and then were suddenly silenced!
 
user15026
11:25 PM
@Sterno That is actually sorta sad sounding
 
@skovacs1 I....I'm a...role model? Oh, dear.
 
@fbueckert It's interesting he named us both, since you and I disagree on almost everything, too. :)
I think what he really means is we have strong opinions and let others know them. :P
 
@fbueckert We're pretty close in terms of rep, but you seem more active so I follow your lead. We seem pretty in tune on a lot of subjects so I respect your voice.
 
user15026
I dont think anyone should look up to me XD
 
@AshleyNunn You write some excellent questions on a lot of esoteric games. I value that.
 
11:27 PM
@Sterno Yeah. We cordially agree to disagree on more or less everything.
 
user15026
@skovacs1 Huh. Cool!
 
I didn't realize WoW was losing enough players that Blizzard is now doing realm merges.
 
What's WoW?
Oh, right, that game with Zebra hoof collection.
 
@skovacs1 I just spend all in chat. :P I have strong opinions and make sure they're heard.
I dunno if being loud makes me more active.

RetrosaurSome weapons that were introduced in the last update (cosmetic) feature different kinds of weapon skins, all really neat, in my opinion.

11:29 PM
They're not CALLING it realm merges, but it's pretty easy to read between the lines.
 
@Sterno It breeds discussions and those are some of the most edifying experiences. I like hearing all sides of a subject as it demonstrates the general approach to decisions and policies around here.
 
@Lazers I'm not sure what we can help with here.
 
My favorite thing about meta discussions is how often they don't really matter.
But they're always fun!
 
@Sterno Yup. We can argue all day long, and in the end, it really doesn't matter.
 
@Lazers Can't access email? Off-Topic. OEM. There's nothing we can do about this.
@fbueckert Decisions get made and good times are had. That matters.
 
11:33 PM
You guys are supposing that he is aware that email is his only possible option to resolving this
He seems to be asking if there's any other option
Perhaps he can call Steam and give them personal info?
I don't know. But my point is, he's looking for options
 
> When Steam Guard is enabled on your account, anyone attempting to login to your Steam account from an unrecognized computer must provide additional authorization. A special access code will be sent to your contact email address, and this code must be entered into Steam before your login is complete.
 
ANd maybe the answer is "You're SOL"
 
About the only other option I can see on their FAQ page is, "Contact Steam"
 
Yeah.
 
@Sterno Fair counter-point. So who breaks the bad news?
 
11:35 PM
@fbueckert I mean, it sounds like you pretty much just put the answer to his question in chat
 
CSGO GETS THE TF2 TREATMENT WITH HATS AND BULLETS FOR $9
EACH
okay not really
 
@Sterno The question demonstrates that they didn't even try to solve the problem since Contacting Steam Support is the common sense answer and it's not really hidden away somewhere.
 
@fbueckert Yeah. This is a good link too.
 
@Sterno Which is what I was defending. I didn't cast any close votes and I don't see any.
 
@Sterno Like so?
 
11:39 PM

Blergh eating that much bacon was a terrible idea
 
@fbueckert I like. Good answer. Upvote.
 
@skovacs1 There's like...five minutes of Google and copy/pasting going on.
 
@fbueckert Probably less. Poor questions sometimes make for easy answers.
 
@Sterno He sounds too much like an account scammer
Turning off SteamGuard and getting access to an email account he most likely doesn't own
 
11:41 PM
It's not our place to make an accusation like that. What if he's not?
What if he's just a dude who can't use whatever email he registered as?
 
@Retrosaur We make a good faith assumption that what he's asking is legit.
 
@fbueckert I've learned not to do that, because assholes will be assholes
 
What if his email was hacked and that was used as a means to hack their Steam?
 
@Retrosaur Here on Arqade, you do that.
Period. End of story.
 
@fbueckert So players asking for legitimate ways to circumvent security issues have good intentions? I don't believe that at all.

It can, with the exception of a deadlock seal or wooden lock, open any type of lock and operate many computers, whether their origin is alien or human.
