Q: When / how does Rylais passive proc on Lux E and passive?

TobyWhen you throw a Lux E (Lucent Singularity) under an enemy while having Rylais Crystal Scepter - how does the slow passive (from Rylais) proc with the spell? Does it add it's slow to the Lucent Singularity (which already slows the enemy champion) or does it proc after the spell was activated? Ho...

Q: Do pea pod upgrades count a extra plants in PvZ2?

DVKIn Plants vs Zombies 2, to get some stars you must plans less than 15 plants (where 15 is variable :) In those levels, do Pea Pod upgrades that go onto existing Pea Pod count as extra plants? The Encyclopedia seems to indicate this way - it explicitly refers to "multiple plantings" and "repeate...

Q: Is it OK to give an answer that employs external methods?

NiteCyperI suspect that this question is a duplicate, but I can't find it. I was looking at How can I respec my badass rank bonus stats? and did a bit of web-crawling on my own and seem to have found a solution. However, this solution requires a tool that is not provided or endorsed by the game. Is it ...

@JeffreyLin That sucks. Have you checked game integrity?

@JeffreyLin It shouldn't

@fredley Sony probably owns the set
Love that they had shuhei do the unboxing
Jesus Christ, the comments are even more fucked up then before the update.
Yeah I read comments on the unboxing video to see if comments were better now. Yeah no, no they're not.
Possibly worse

@mpower That just sounds like a more-awesome way of playing Batman
> For the second time in under a year—and possibly the second time in recorded history—New Yorkers managed to go 24 straight hours without shooting, stabbing or slashing each other.
That's just lazy reporting... if it's recorded history, look it up.
@Blem Yeah Sony...well not owns, but...kinda owns Daft Punk at this point and time
@Sterno They only recently invented stabdar so they'd know about the unreported stabbings.

Q: Can you interact with other Pokemon players over the internet and streetpass at the same time?

CrowbeakI was hanging out with a friend who has Pokemon X/Y, and we wanted to trade. We were registered as friends and had interacted in-game via both internet and Streetpass before, but we weren't able to see each other. Since we were at his house and he was connected to the internet, I tried connecting...

I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!'"
@JeffreyLin ... that was the quote I was just pasting to send to you xp

lol
@Sterno Shut up, @GnomeSlice.
@OrigamiRobot It's amazing.
SkyDrift amazing?
13:23
My motivation for people playing is so that people will ask me questions about it. I want reps.
Skydrift has hand-foot-mouth disease.
Babies are sick all the time.
@Sterno is that not their job? To provide a nice and safe place for all kinds of horrible diseases?
Apparently.
@Sterno I should probably have asked about the Skydrift vaccination while we were getting the other set of two-month shots the other day.
13:30
@Sterno I don't know what this is, so I am imagining a disorder which causes one to put their hands/feet in their mouths. Previous interactions with babies confirm this behavior. Conclusion: Epidemic.
lemme try that again
@OrigamiRobot A reasonable guess!
@BenBrocka They do.
A handful of Skittles counts as fruit for breakfast right?
@TimStone Yup
Excellent
13:34
@TimStone The green ones certainly do
Anything green is one of your 5 a day
@TimStone Why only a handful?
If I eat them all now I won't have more for later :(
So much adorable.
@TimStone But the shop has more
@TimStone So buy more.

@OrigamiRobot I hate that ghost. He's a jerk.
@OrigamiRobot Gold.

@GnomeSlice Very nice
Assuming you just have a sprite-sheet and modify background-position in the media queries?
@fredley Beats me.
@GnomeSlice Well that's how I'd do it
13:50

@GnomeSlice And yup, that's how it's done
Makes sense.
@GnomeSlice No thanks

@GnomeSlice Yeah this is excellent
13:53
@fredley lol...
Who the hell is Francis?
My understanding is I should watch his youtube videos of him doing random crap because he's internet famous for posting youtube videos of him doing random crap.
INFINITE LOOP DETECTED
@Sterno He's a character persona of boogie2988
And he's hilarious.
Poor Picard.
Such a great straight man.
Yeah, I figured out not to google "boogie2988" at work, because the first few images it pops up there are not friendly.
13:59
@Sterno He's very open about his struggle with weight, yeah. Fat dudes are nsfw?
@GnomeSlice When they're shirtless, yeah
@Wipqozn You just made me go read about why there are warp speed limitations. You're the worst.
@Sterno You're welcome.
@Wipqozn I'm not that old
14:03
@Wipqozn It led me to SciFi.SE. You're double-the-worst.
@MBraedley I didn't mean to imply you were.
@Sterno Excellent.
I hope I ruined your entire day.
14:05
what an asshole
@Wipqozn I wanted to quote @GnomeSlice in a reply to @Wipqozn, but I figured the flag troll would flag it and then they'd see the name gnomeslice in there and approve it
SO JUST PRETEND I DID THAT
@Sterno I refuse.
user58869
@GnomeSlice does that mean that someone can just steal a thousand dollars from anyone they like?
@axrwkr I guess so, yeah...

Huh. One of @Wipqozn's old answers got flagged as NaA.
@FAE turns out some people use more than one site
14:26
@BenBrocka CRAZY TALK
I think they'd rather risk pissing off some developers / sellers than risk pissing off a bigger amount of buyers. Specially when you consider the ratio of devs/sellers-to-buyers and the main customers are the buyers.
Of course, if you hurt the devs / sellers then no one wants to use your site and your business model is flawed.

@BenBrocka I've only ever seen it one other time with users here, saw @Powerlord comment on a Joystiq article. Though I also try not to read comments in general, so.

@BenBrocka I've only just recently thrown them into my news feed, so I may read them more then.
@FAE just ignore the reviews. And opinion pieces aren't great. Their normal news is usually good though
FAE
FAE
14:40
@BenBrocka What's wrong with the reviews?
@FAE They're pretty awful. They seem to very often get people who don't like the sort of game they're reviewing. The person who reviewed Disgaea D2 didn't seem to really "get" SRPGs
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka That's... unfortunate, and really unprofessional. I'd expect better, considering who started the site and all.
Yeah their reviews are hit and miss to the point I don't bother reading them
They're also on my shit list for not liking Borderlands 2 though so I'm a bit biased
FAE
FAE
It's not like they don't know how this is supposed to work.
@BenBrocka What'd they give it?
But I pretty much roll my eyes at any site that ranked a recent Call of Duty game above Borderlands 2, as much as I try not to compare scores otherwise
@FAE something "not bad not good" IIRC
FAE
FAE
14:46
Gotcha
Meh, Polygon has a couple of weird instances, yeh. But just like any other site, you basically have to stick to authors you're aligned with.
They just focus too much on minor (IMO) issues in games and I very rarely find myself learning anything from reading their reviews

Q: Where are the pumpkins in PvZ2?

DVKPlants vs Zombies used to have a nice "Pumpkin" plant that protected plants in it. PvZ2 does not have it. What's the official story with no pumpkins? Was it removed because it was against the new game's balance? Was it removed because they have/will replaced it with similar one? Do they have ...

But as usual a 2 minute gameplay video is more useful than reading most full written reviews
@FEichinger that's the problem, fuck that. I shouldn't need to know authors on a personal level to be able to suss out usefulness from a review
Call of Duty games are fun if you only play multiplayer
Single-player is a terrible shitopia of badness, though.
14:49
@Sterno Yeah, same with BF
@BenBrocka An interactive medium will always add subjectivity to reviews. You'll gain nothing from reading (or listening to) what a random author that very much contradicts your own views writes.
I should consistently feel that the author of reviews really appreciates the genre of game they're reviewing and is criticising from a place of appreciation and knowledge. If I don't feel that, I don't read their reviews
But I definitely agree that there were some weird assignments for reviews ...
I think I partied too hard last night. And I have a flight to catch later today.
About the only reviews I read anymore are Rock Paper Shotgun
14:50
If you pump out reviews by people who clearly would never have liked a game of X genre in the first place it does major harm to my opinion of your reviews in general
Now, I only watch reviews after I had a chance to actually play the game.
I don't see much point in watching reviews after playing/buying the game, unless you want to know if everyone loved/hated it as much as you did
@fbueckert Which one is that?
I have posted some crappy answers in my day. I've deleted some of them.
@BenBrocka Here's the thing, though: They also need a balance with people who are unfamiliar with the genre. Chuck a game at a random author and you get a result for the everyman, not just someone who's deeply invested already.
@Wipqozn Your Rifts class answer.
It definitely was an answer.
14:52
@FEichinger Yeah, but there are many, many genres the everyman doesn't get anyway. It doesn't make sense to pull that strategy for niche games
@BenBrocka Yeah, that's pretty much it. Just to satisfy my curiosity, and to see if the reviewers know their shit.
Who gives a shit what the everyman thinks of a bullet hell shooter? COD kiddies aren't going to play it anyway
When your review just boils down to "I don't like this genre and this game is of this genre" it's just complete trash
@fbueckert The only thing I ca think of is that I didn't address this:
> Also any recommendations on which class should I play? I am coming over from WoW, and have played every role. Loved shaman and hunter.
but that should have been edited out fo the question anyways.
It could be useful as criticism of that genre, if written well, but it's hardly a useful review for a game in particular
14:54
@Wipqozn I agree.
Flagged as "made me go read SciFi.SE".

@fbueckert I just edited it out and everything.
Regardless, though, that was my very first flag dispute!
@BenBrocka This is the most annoying thing ever.
@fbueckert That is surprising.
14:56
@Sterno I don't often review the flag queue.
I didn't even know there was a flag queue.
I thought that was mods only
Of my ~200 flags, 26 are things I disputed

Q: How frequently do the zombies drop keys?

DVKSomeone mentioned in this Q&A that you can get keys when zombies randomly drop them on any level. Is there an estimate of just how frequently this happens? (e.g. what's the probability) Is the frequency dependent on the zombie type you kill or the level?

@LpSamuelm Congrats!
15:02
I will pretend it's not superficial.
@Sterno All of mine that were disputed were actioned in the direction of my flag.
So I count those as helpful
@Blem heh
@5pike Took me a bit to spot what was wrong

Q: Can a single Lightning Reed kill 3 camel zombies?

DVKI was answering this Q, and proposed 2 Lightning Reeds as a way to kill 3 Camel Zombies. However, I'm unsure if they can be killed by just 1 Lighting Reed (with no other plants). So, if we have a Lightning Reed on leftmost square, and 3 camel zombies coming at it, will it be able to kill all 3 ...

hmm, I thought you were talking about him checking his watch at the wrong hand
But jup you are right :(

Come on, guys. "Airbrushing." Best joke of today.
@LpSamuelm no, puns are bad and you should feel bad for making one
Agh, why can't I star my own posts?

@LpSamuelm because then we'd have a pun in the star list and we don't want that.
@KevinvanderVelden Take that, Kevin!
Remember:
15:11
@LpSamuelm pun's still not starred you know :)
@KevinvanderVelden OH MAN! Stuff is going down.
Noohs! it got starred =[
@KevinvanderVelden I don't like star wars.
Oops, I did it again.
Talking about stars is old news. Nowdays we like to talk about struts!
@LpSamuelm you quoted britney spears. Your opinion is invalid.
15:13
@KevinvanderVelden Not sure if I should be more disturbed by the quote itself of by the rapid correct identification. o.ô

@Powerlord Not really what he said.

Q: How can I disable the Palpatine 'Where've You Been?!' screen?

Zero StackWhen I launch the Tiny Death Star game, it always shows Palpatine in a chair, saying how much I have made while not playing the game. How can I disable this screen so it immediately shows my Tiny Death Star first?

Isn't Xbox one of the more profitable bits? And it was integrated into their core hardware thing recently I thought
@BenBrocka Last I checked, no.
Saying "I'll do this" and "I'd consider this an option" are quite different.
16:14
The Xbox division iirc has cost more money than it has made.
@Powerlord It's been called "incredibly profitable" as of this year digitalspy.com/gaming/news/a512543/…
Might have had crazy upfront/research costs though
MS's business is in operating systems and productivity software. Anything other than that isn't really important to them -- but to think they'd be pumping money in if it wasn't getting them anything back is silly.
@BenBrocka Forbes disagrees (as of January this year)
> And Microsoft makes nothing from its xBox/Kinect entertainment division, while losing vast sums in its on-line division (negative $350M-$750M/quarter).
@Powerlord That reads very much like an "I hate Microsoft" blog post.
'Far Too Loud' is also FTL
explodes
16:31
@BenBrocka Not really, as there's a lot of expense involved there. But the Entertainment and Devices Division has been profitable this year.
I think that the per-unit return has probably increased promisingly as time has gone on, but overall sales figures have declined as well so the bigger picture is slightly different.
Guess that's why they're focusing on at-launch profitablility
I'm not sure why I'd need an XBone. I can already watch TV.

Q: How do I complete the "Fill a business with all Skill 9 workers"? (Tiny Death Star)

Camop82I managed to place x3 skill 9 Bitizens in a food service job but the Emperor won't let me collect. Does it have to be all lvl 9 and dream job? Does it have to be something like Retail or Service, not Food? Anyone else get stuck on this mission?

@Sterno I'm surprised there was no mention of the fish AI.
