Listening to that almost made me commit suicide.
Luckily I remembered I could turn off my headphones.
@Sterno I am glad I don't have headphones with me so I can't be tempted.
GUYS PAY ATTENTION TO ME

@GnomeSlice You should re-name yourself to ElfSlice for Christmas.
@StrixVaria Whoa what happened to you
@Sterno You could... oh I don't know, not watch said video?
18:04
@MechanicalLoon NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
YOU ARE A MONSTER
I mean, this could just be some evil plan on @kalina's part to make you search for and listen to dogs barking
@MechanicalLoon I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU CHANGED YOUR NAME TOO YOU'RE STILL @StrixVaria ON MY SCREEN
Seriously, though, @GnomeSlice, make @ElfSlice a thing.
18:06
Gah! All the things are changing!
@Sconibulus Luckily I'm here to save the day!
@badp Do you get a Christmas gift as an intern?
@MechanicalLoon Nope! I am okay with this.
@MechanicalLoon I hope you're happy
18:07
@GnomeSlice I am.
So, eh, technically speaking I'm not a private anymore...
@PrivatePansy Promotion or discharge?
Promotion. Currently a specialist cadet, passing out on the 20th to 3rd Sargent (Local)
@PrivatePansy Grats!
What the (Local) back there means is I'll be getting the pay of a Corporal while serving the duties of a Sargent

Q: Trouble running steam games through Playonlinux

IsaacI have set everything up correct as far as I can tell and steam launches and runs, but when I try to run a game it will say the game is running in the task manager but there is nothing showing on the screen. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

> From retina-burningly colorful graphics, to Serena's cartoonishly ridiculous boobs, to a nonsensical plot - Ultionus is a love-letter to the whole era in gaming. If you miss the lighthearted sense of adventure, the over-the-top characters and the tough challenge in games - this might be the right game for you.
This sounds like the game for me
@ElfSlice There's a character named BalZac.
It's definitely a game for you.
@MechanicalLoon Yeah, I think he's the villain
SO EXCITED
I don't want my retinas burned. That's not a good thing.
18:22
@Sterno What are you some kind of retina elitist?
Not you too @GnomeSlice!
So many santa hats!
if this keeps up I'll have to change mine soon.
This game is going to be really weird.
For reference, @GnomeSlice's "Links" section is bigger than @spugsley's whole pie
4
@OrigamiRobot Something's not quite right there...
@OrigamiRobot Needs more skydrift.
18:26
@OrigamiRobot This probably would be better as a bar graph.
So we can see @ElfSlice's pure volume of links.
@MechanicalLoon Probably, but bars are boring. Pies are great.
Apparently, someone has 96% pure gold dust for sale, and I should email him back if I'm interested.
@fbueckert You should definitely not miss this opportunity.
@OrigamiRobot Pie charts are also entirely inappropriate in most circumstances, including this one
@fbueckert What would you do gold dust anyway?
@PrivatePansy Presumably sell it at a profit.
18:29
I heard that traditionally the emperors in China committed suicide by ingesting gold
@kalina Huh, kinda surprised at that
@PrivatePansy DON'T TELL ME WHAT KIND OF CHART TO USE
@OrigamiRobot I won't scold you if you don't misrepresent your data!
Also, I'm your mom. I think.
That went better in my head
@PrivatePansy If you want to scold me for that, talk about how a message could be in multiple categories and simply subtracting each category from the total wont give you the right "other"
Actually, that works for pie charts since you could simply do shading with stripes or cross-hatches to represent the messages that fit into two categories
18:36
@PrivatePansy It could work, yes.
But I didn't bother to do it the right way.
Youtube, what are you doing...
CC @BenBrocka
@OrigamiRobot This is much more informative.
What does it mean when someone wants to pay for your repairs with cash rather than out of their insurance?
FAE
FAE
18:40
@Yuki Car accident?
I just got into a fender-bender and the person called me and said they wanted to pay with cash rather than going through insurance and whatnot.
@FAE Yeah.
@Yuki It's so that they don't have to report the accident, and their insurance doesn't go up.
FAE
FAE
@Yuki Might mean they want to avoid having their premium possibly raised due to an accident.
It's definitely safest for you (if it's their fault) to go through insurance.
@MechanicalLoon How would it be safer?
18:41
@ElfSlice yeah, been keeping up with that. On the plus side, numerous companies have come out with explicit monetization policies now. But proving it to Youtube is still a big pain so it's not like that makes it all better
Nice name btw
FAE
FAE
@Yuki You're (mostly) guaranteed to get your money.
@Yuki More of a paper trail. They can't just disappear and not pay you.
@OrigamiRobot Much better
@BenBrocka Did something big happen yesterday with youtube?
@BenBrocka Unrelated, did you see the BL2 barcode scanner thinger?
FAE
FAE
18:42
@ElfSlice It's been happening for a little while now.
He keeps saying 'today a lot of that is going away'
or similar stuff
@OrigamiRobot yeah, haven't heard it
@OrigamiRobot Yeah. The pie chart implied that @spugsley cursed more when it was actually just because @GnomeSlice talks a lot more in general.
ERMERGERD! @OrigamiRobot is now drawing charts about @GnomeSlice's chat content? This is amazing!
@Yuki That's why they're percentages
18:43
@Yuki @spugsley does curse more - relative to the total amount of messages.
@ElfSlice Oh, you're not up on the content ID stuff. Um, not sure of a good summary. No one has the full story but this has a lot of bits and pieces: vg247.com/2013/12/13/…
@OrigamiRobot Comparing percentages of things that are orders of magnitude different in total content doesn't make sense, though.
@FEichinger On a strict by volume basis, @GnomeSlice curses a lot more than @spugsley. More than 3 times as much, in fact.
FAE
FAE
> This app is incompatible with all of your devices.
18:45
@Yuki And on a strict by volume basis, @GnomeSlice also talks a lot more than @spugsley.
FAE
FAE
I think it's because it's US only. :(
@MechanicalLoon I wasn't planning on comparing them until I had already made one pie chart.
Also, @StrixVaria is now literally worse than Hitler.
@ElfSlice Youtube's copyright bots had their sensitivity increased to 11 and are triggering on even snippets of songs used in games or somesuch.
@FEichinger I... just said that.
FAE
FAE
18:45
Yep, "This item cannot be installed in your device's country", argh.
@Yuki Yes. You started by repeating yourself.
@TrentHawkins Yeah I saw some stuff about that. That's ridiculous.
@OrigamiRobot Installed (man I LOVE being able to install from websites/mobile apps)
@FEichinger How else am I going to be a good politician?
18:46
Ghost Trick iOS, $0.99 for the entire game. Even in our world of super-saturated sales this is an incredible deal. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ghost-trick-phantom-detective/id489113377
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka I want to be able to use thiiiiiiiiis
@Yuki By being always technically correct, like @kalina.
@BenBrocka DUDE
@BenBrocka Those stupid barcode scanning fighting games were so addictive.
@FAE I don't even understand why a QR code reader would be region locked
@ElfSlice It's crazy, I've retweeted it twice now, such a good game
FAE
FAE
18:46
@BenBrocka It sounds so neat. :(
@FEichinger Who?
@BenBrocka The pixels are super expensive to ship across the Atlantic, is why
@MechanicalLoon HUSH! YOU'RE LITERALLY WORSE THAN HITLER, TWICE!
SQUARE HITLER, EVEN!
Squitler
2
Hitler squared =/= two Hitlers.
18:48
@BenBrocka Magnificent.

Q: Skyrim: Necromage Perk as a Vampire

RobulaDoes the Necromage perk still grant a bonus to spells active/cast on yourself as a Vampire? I read somewhere today that this "exploit" was patched and that Necromage doesn't offer the same benefits to Vampires as it used too. I'm running the latest patch 1.9.32.0.8. My Restoration skill isn't qu...

HamStare @MechanicalLoon
... Psh!
HamStare @StrixVaria Okay, it's really just @boo being meab.
@MechanicalLoon ಠ_ಠ
@StrixVaria ಠ_ಠ
@ಠ_ಠ ಠ_ಠ
@BenBrocka The problem is, I don't remember the stats of my equipment so I don't know if any of these items are good.
18:50
Oh man it's %20 off
must... resist... urge... to buy...
@Yuki I was hoping you'd do that.
@FEichinger I aim to please.
$20 says this is going to be the next big indie game
And misbehave, but that's unrelated.
18:52
@OrigamiRobot oh you have to..hm
Probably more exciting for people on their first playthrough, or if it gives legendaries
@ElfSlice what's your criteria for "big"?
@Sterno rogue legacy, starbound, etc
@BenBrocka I've gotten a level 68 so that might be worth using. Also, the screenshots show Oranges.
oranges or pearls would definitely be cool
probably not pearls though since they're technically DLC only
People who have played both Starbound and Terraria: I own but have never played Terraria. If I'm interested in that style game, should I just play Terraria as a new experience or skip to Starbound?
18:58
@MechanicalLoon I've heard Starbound is better. I for one couldn't get into Terraria and I have friends who said the same but are really anjoying starbound
Terraria is totally enjoyable on it's own but I haven't played starbound
@MechanicalLoon That said, Starbound is still unfinished.
@MechanicalLoon Well, Starbound in unfinished.
@OrigamiRobot That doesn't really bother me.
@MechanicalLoon y u reply to him and not me
=[
18:59
@MechanicalLoon Like, still has placeholder text for some item descriptions and stuff.
@OrigamiRobot Oh interesting.
A year ago, I'd probably have said Terraria, but (without having played Starbound), I'd recommend Starbound now.
@MechanicalLoon If you're going to play today, and want a polished experience, do Terraria.
If you don't care if it's a little beta, do Starbound

A: WinterBash 2013

balphaSince it's not really a secret anymore: Winter Bash 2013 will start on December 16th. Here's a little teaser, with apologies to Marco and Laura: (Yes, this year you'll be able to customize the hat's position on your avatar.)

2
Ooooo
Starbound, when complete, will basically be Terraria++
19:02
@MechanicalLoon If what you're mainly interested in is the survival aspect, I also recommend Darkout
@Sterno Yea, I'm waiting on Starbound till I see something new that really grabs me.
Right now, I don't really see any difference other than "go to multiple worlds"
@OrigamiRobot Better music
> (Yes, this year you'll be able to customize the hat's position on your avatar.)
@ElfSlice Which they seem taking bits from everywhere.
Well apparently we have 2 hitlers in the room. At least @Gnoasldfyhasf is recognizable though.
19:04
Including Welcome to Night Vale, as I have mentioned before.
Without any attribution that I have found.
@Unionhawk @StrixVaria
@FEichinger I know, I figured it out.
I watched a video that was supposed to talk about the differences, but it said things like "Terraria is bad because it has no story so it's hard to know what you're supposed to do next. Starbound is great because it has no story which means you can pretend you're doing whatever!"
He's got his twitter in his profile bio
I know. It's pretty obvious.
19:05
@OrigamiRobot Seems like more variety in environments. Even with all the cool stuff, Terraria feels a bit stale with all the grassland/forest and caves
Terraria doesn't have a tree with giant eye-fruits.
@BenBrocka I don't see that as a plus in either direction, so I'm waiting.
Oh god, it is Friday the 13th, isn't it?
Can I not take my final today?
Ayup
Nope.
You cannot, not take it.

Q: How do persistent items work in Battlefield 4?

NelsonPlayers in Battlefield 4 can drop a variety of persistent items: mines, medic bags, ammo boxes, recon spawn points, etc. How long do those items persist in the world? Do they last beyond player death? From casual observation it seems items persist as last as long as the item isn't destroyed by w...

@OrigamiRobot It has lazers
@Yuki I does have disembodied eyes, but they fly instead of growing on trees.
@Sterno So does Terraria.
@ORIGAMIROBOT HAS DISEMBODIED EYES THAT FLY AROUND: DATA ACCEPTED
Honestly right now it pretty much is Terraria, reskinned
19:08
Atm, yeah, I'd say that's a fair comparison/simplification/whatever
@Sterno And that's not a bad thing, just not a thing I wanna pay $15 for right now.
Starbound apparently has Stars, and Bounds, while Terraria has Ground
@BenBrocka The Last of Us and Uncharted?
@Yuki Yeah
I like how Joel's so clearly tired of Nate's shit
I honestly can't remember who's the person on the way left.
I was thinking Tess? But that can't be right...
FAE
FAE
19:10
@BenBrocka Bwahaha that's amazing
@Yuki Chloe I think
@FAE Yeah, that makes sense.
so
I live in a household that enforces chippy tea on a friday
so I had chips cheese and gravy
FAE
FAE
@Yuki Just... the clicker, man, the clicker.
I assumed tess, I figured left is TLOU right is Uncharted
I like that the clicker has braces
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka But Ellie's on the right.
19:12
true
@FAE I call her "not-Ellen Page".
FAE
FAE
@Yuki Jochem didn't realize it wasn't her until I told him.
@PlayStation @Naughty_Dog You guys even have Chloe standing toes pointed in. That my friends, is what I call detailed
Delicious
19:13
chloe apparently
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka Also Chloe's character would more likely be wearing that outfit.
@StrixVaria'sNewNameIDon'tRemember: I'd say play Terraria for now to see if you even like that sorta thing. Especially since you already own it and don't have to shell out $15 to do that.
@FAE I'm still not seeing it, I'm afraid.
I guess I don't see enough ellen page stuff to see the ellen page in her. The original model, sure
someone had a proper comparison, she looks more like her current VA now than page
I'm definitely seeing some similarities. They're all reasonably attractive young-looking brunettes with a certain, similar facial structure.
19:21
Can someone ping Strix on his new name? >_>
@Fluttershy @MechanicalLoon
you people and your names
But at the end of the day, there are only so many faces to create - but it's not to the extent of "They took Ellen Page's likeness!", that's just ridiculous.
@Fluttershy @MechanicalLoon !!!
Thanks! :D
@FEichinger In retrospect, this reads awfully analytical.
19:23
Also, Ellie's original model looked a lot like Ellen Page. It caused me to confuse Beyond Two Souls with TLOU for months.
Beyond apparently WAS very much all about ellen page
@BenBrocka She was the main character. <_<
@Fluttershy Your mom was the main character!
Yeah but there was a kotaku article...he needed ellen page in that role. In a sorta creepy way
@Yuki Your face was your mum. Now stop.
19:26
gimme
@MechanicalLoon Literally worse than Hitler.
@Sterno As well as metaphysically worse than Hitler.
@Fluttershy That's a good point.
@kalina heh
19:36
@kalina Is this your vehicle?
...
Well, you are 20, right?
@OrigamiRobot Does @kalina seem like an authority on jerking to you?
If anything that should be your vehicle.
Doesn't seem like the van type
@ElfSlice Actually, it'd more likely be your vehicle.
19:38
@Yuki You don't remember the whole thing with @OrigamiRobot trying to make jerky or whatever?
@ElfSlice Oh, that completely slipped my mind.
@ElfSlice It came out looking like tar.
...Squitler anagrams to Squirtle.
@MechanicalLoon Yeah I remember. I guess he's not an authority, then.
19:39
@GraceNote Clearly, Squirtle is the Hitler (Squared) of the Pokemon world.
@kalina how would you explain that?
Square of one, apparently.
@GraceNote Oh, I found something today you may be interested in following
@GraceNote Oh dear
I mean, you could maybe say "arithmetic", or maybe even "subtraction" but those don't feel like enough for explain
19:40
@ElfSlice Remind me the name of that game you posted before (with magnets and stuff; puzzle/platformer) when I get home from this trip.
@ElfSlice I will poke this later.
@Sconibulus Probably at that grade level, putting it in a vertical form and showing every "carry the one" step, and whatnot, I guess.
@MechanicalLoon Magnetic, or MagRunner, most likely.
@Sconibulus just go explain number theory in one line
That should be fine
Probably Magrunner
19:41
@ElfSlice Nope.
@MechanicalLoon was it 2D? 3D?
@ElfSlice 2D. You predicted it would be the next big indie game.
@MechanicalLoon Oh, Teslagrad
Teslagrad
Yeah
19:42
@ElfSlice Yeah that one.
I'm really tempted to buy it
but I shouldn't
When do you get home from your trip?
@GraceNote Late Sunday. I'll probably be on chat Monday night.
@kalina I've seen that test in a more net-friendly image
19:43
well, good for you
@GraceNote If you use IndieDB, you can 'track' that game here: indiedb.com/games/forward-to-the-sky
@GraceNote Those are all just Instagram filters. :P
Will give you a handy notification in your 'updates' when it has a new post or whatever
do those questions even have answers?
that can't be a real test
@kalina Uhh... what class would be asking these questions?
19:44
@ElfSlice This reminds me that I can probably wishlist it on Steam.
I would have to log into steam to do that...
@MechanicalLoon Yes.
@MechanicalLoon I can remind you later like you said

And then, of course, someone stars it. :(
@Sterno Sorry, I was afk
20:01
YOU are the reason we were able to release 10 games last-gen! Thank you! What's in store for this-gen?… http://instagram.com/p/h1t2yXyt_s/
Dang they've been busy
I knew about all of those except Fuse but never added it up
20:21
Just when you thought it was over you realize its time to talk about Video Game.
I dont like video game mechanic.
And on that note, I think it's time I go do something else.
hey, random question
would anyone know where to find a copy of the old Where in the World is Carmen San Diego game?
@Sconibulus Man, that game was hard.
@OrigamiRobot I thought so too, but all the newer carmen sandiego games I've seen have been kinda trivial
20:30
@Sconibulus With no internet back then, you had to look up flags and stuff in books
FAE
FAE
Also @FEichinger ^
Uh huh.
FAE
FAE
And here's one with Jodie, from Beyond Two Souls:
@FAE None of those look alike to me.
FAE
FAE
@OrigamiRobot Ellen Page and Jodie should at least
20:35
None

Q: How quickly does a MFR Auto-Spawner spawn mobs?

EnderThe MFR Auto-Spawner can be used to spawn mobs, much like a vanilla mob spawner. The mod Soul Shards does this as well. I've been told that a tier 5 soul shard spawns mobs faster than the Auto-Spawner, but I want to know how much faster. How fast does an Auto-Spawner spawn things?

@FAE None of these look the same to me. The final Ellie doesn't even look like a real person.
FAE
FAE
I dunno. I was just showing the examples. I don't even find Ellen Page attractive, personally.
@OrigamiRobot Only because you were a kid and didn't know the capital of France.
@JasonBerkan You say that like I do now.
20:44
@OrigamiRobot Touché
I can't even name all the state capitals.
Pfft. I can't even name all of your states.
I probably can't either.
You have like 5 times what we have.
@OrigamiRobot When I was little I could, not anymore...
20:45
I can't even tell you all the streets I travel on to get home.
There's only like 5
I barely even know general locations of states, let alone state capitals.
user15026
@fbueckert Yeah, I get confused by America
Ok, Bridge, I have three models to build, and I can't decide which one to do.
So I'm gonna go out on a limb here and hope you guys can help me.
@fbueckert The one with the things and the plastic bits.
user15026
@TrentHawkins I vote thhis
20:48
@fbueckert The one with the most moving parts when you're done.
@TrentHawkins You are disqualified.
@fbueckert Less suspense more revelation!

Q: Way to make Minecraft less grind-y?

muflaxI enjoy all the engineering mods, and I wanna spend my time setting up stuff like factories and breeding facilities, but I found that I'm mostly mining for various crap. I don't wanna switch over to Creative because that changes unrelated mechanics like Hunger, and I like having to unlock access...

I have a Gundam Unicorn:
An Exia:
Or a Shin Musha Limited Edition:
1 min ago, by OrigamiRobot
@fbueckert The one with the most moving parts when you're done.
20:50
The one with the most guns.
This will be my first experimental airbrushing, so it may not turn out very well at all.
@OrigamiRobot How'm I supposed to know this before I make it?
@GraceNote And ditto with this.
@fbueckert It should tell you on the box if it moves
@OrigamiRobot They all move.
@fbueckert It should show you on the box how many guns there are.
I bet the Unicorn has movable panels for the red parts.
20:52
@fbueckert And it should show how they move on the box
Or in the manual.
Veritech is best gundam
If not, get better models.
The Unicorn looks to have the most movable pieces, but only two guns.
Conflict!
@fbueckert At this vantage angle, two guns looks like more than the others anyway.
20:54
wat
@fbueckert Clearly, what you need to do is appropriate some extra guns from the other two models, as well as the other models' arms to hold and fire said guns.

Q: How much CDR does Yasuo's Q get from bonus attack speed?

Fabián The cooldown and cast time of Steel Tempest is reduced based on Yasuo's bonus attack speed and unaffected by cooldown reduction. Say I buy Blade of the Ruined King (+40% attack speed) If Yasuo's Q is based on attack speed, how much CDR does Yasuo's Q get from that?

Not sure the Shin Musha has any guns.
@TrentHawkins Yeah, I'm not bastardizing my models to make a Doc Ock-esque Gundam.
Although, that might be a useful project in the future...
20:57
@fbueckert You're doing models wrong.
@TrentHawkins This is how I would do it.
@OrigamiRobot By following the instructions, I'm doing it wrong?
If so, I don't want to do them right.
Instructions are lame.
And there's another disqualification!
Which means I guess I build what I want.
Wait! I haven't given my opinion yet.
@TrentHawkins This is why I build Ork models...
20:58
...Actually I have no idea what's going on, continue.
The Unicorn would probably be the easiest for airbrushing, since the vast majority of it is white.
