@Lazers I think it has to do with holding breath underwater and swim speed.

Those are the only enchantments that make sense when it comes to water and Minecraft.

Breaking blocks underwater is allowed at regular speed, though the player cannot be floating to get the full effect.

Okay I don't agree with my developer friend

Risk of Rain is awesome

@TrentHawkins I play Saints Row 3 and 4 with both keyboard+mouse and controller. Controller is for driving, keyboard + mouse is for shooting. I simply cannot stand driving on a keyboard, I hate it.

ElfSlice

Ugh, you can't use all of the menus with a controller in Risk of Rain

lazy implementation

@ElfSlice or just PC game

ElfSlice

@3ventic That is completely irrelevant

3ventic

It's much more annoying when games don't offer mouse driven menus

Yuki

20:16

@FAE I still use keyboard+mouse for vehicles in BF4, but I have to switch to controller for air combat. It's annoying as f--k to control a helicopter or attack jet with keyboard+mouse.

3ventic

My just cause 2 playing is constant swapping between controller and K+M

driving: sometimes keyboard, sometimes controller
flying: helicopters keyboard+mouse, planes controller
boats: depends on the speed of the boat
on foot: depends which vehicle I used last

Positive anymore

Positive anymore is the use of the adverb anymore in an affirmative context.

@david it's clearly most common in the Midwest by an order of magnitude.

David M

@LessPop_MoreFizz True. But up here in New England it gets used that way more by people of lower education. I'm not sure why that is, it's not an incorrect construct, but that's who I hear using it.

OrigamiRobot

@KevinvanderVelden Were you not here when that was my avatar?

David M

@OrigamiRobot I was wished a Happy New Year today by no less than 10 people. (Assuming you don't have me on ignore.)

@david I'm surprised you're hearing it in New England at all

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot I don't think so, all I remember seeing is your current one

LessPop_MoreFizz

If there's any dialect in the country where positive anymore is decidedly not a thing it's New England.

OrigamiRobot

I have no idea what this means.

@mechanical yes it is.

Kevin van der Velden

@MechanicalLoon that was my point, let me rephrase. "It means whoever says that should go back to school and learn some bloody english"

OrigamiRobot

> Everything we do anymore seems to have been done in a big hurry.

This one makes sense, but I wouldn't say it that way.

Mechanical Loon

@LessPop_MoreFizz It's a regional thingy, but it's not proper prescriptive English :)

I'm glad to know what it means now, if I run across someone using it in the future. I won't use it that way.

David M

American English has a fair number of regional variants.

FAE

@LessPop_MoreFizz My parents use this. I used to before I got older and moved. They both grew up in the Buffalo area.

Largely derived from the original languages of the primary groups settling in those locations.

David M

20:33

@OrigamiRobot I don't understand the implication? I said it was polite to use it for UP to two weeks. Not to start two weeks from the stroke of midnight.

@fae buffalo English has more in common with Ohio English than the rest of New York.

For example, people in buffalo are filthy monsters who call "Soda" "pop".

@LessPop_MoreFizz I will always call it pop.

David M

@LessPop_MoreFizz Are you also a regular on the English Language and Usage Stack

@FAE Heathen.

@MechanicalLoon Truth.

@LessPop_MoreFizz South of Rochester, it's pop. Once you get far enough east to hit Syracuse, it's soda.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@david eh, I pop in every once in a blue moon.

Mechanical Loon

It's soda everywhere; some people are just wrong.

Jason Berkan

@LessPop_MoreFizz It is weird that I find this so wrong despite the fact that it is grammatically correct. I was a bit surprised when I copied the original line into Word and it reported no errors.

FAE

So I grew up in kind of in a fuzzy area.

Mechanical Loon

20:37

@JasonBerkan I am adjusting my worldview to cope with the fact that this is actually accepted.

David M

@LessPop_MoreFizz It's good for a great intellectual argument here and there . . . :)

Mechanical Loon

I will still continue not to use it that way, though.

David M

@OrigamiRobot You are the one who took exception to my usage of it as a polite greeting. Try not to be so touchy.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Yeah, something about positive anymore is just uniquely grating.

OrigamiRobot

@DavidM The only thing I take exception with is your use of general pings instead of proper replies.

David M

20:39

Yeah, it doesn't hit the ear as a highly intelligent usage . . . No offense to whoever used it that way.

ElfSlice

FEichinger

It's outside of our expertise - we're not race drivers, and we don't "know" race drivers, so we can't really say how and what they do.

badp

21:12

I say it's okay, just tough to answer.

Jason Berkan

@FEichinger That would be just generally off-topic - not about gaming. However, he does put in a relevant gaming question: "So how can I improve my learning of a track?"

badp

If it asks how the "real life" pros do it, we can just change it to say how the "videogame" pros do it.

Jason Berkan

I'd be tempted to get him to reword it and focus on that rather than on real life drivers.

FEichinger

@JasonBerkan I don't like closing with a negative ;) If we can't say what it is about, we can't say that is outside of our topic scope, I believe.

Yuki

@badp True, but wouldn't an edit like that be (technically) radically changing the meaning of the question?

@FEichinger How much did they force you to spend this time?

Yay! I just reached level 10 on Steam! :D

@MechanicalLoon Nothing yet, but they just gave me a 50% off coupon for a game I happen to want ...

But I'm kinda dry this month ... This sucks.

And now I'm preparing for another ~10 hours of reinstalling my OS ...

Because I sure as hell ain't keeping Windows 8 blocking the entire hard drive space.

@FEichinger 10 hours installing a OS? That seems a little far fetched unless you're talking about re-installing everything too.

FEichinger

@ErraticFox I'm running a dual-boot Ubuntu GNOME/Windows. Setting up partitions, installing the two in the proper order, making my way around various BIOS settings and reinstalling drivers, yeh, that takes quite long.

Not if you're on the ball about it.

@FEichinger Which game, and how much?

Who in here liked Smooth McGroove? I forget.

Q: Beagleboard SNES with non-Tomee controller?

Anyone here know anything about using non-Tomee controllers with BeagleSNES? The guide says there is only official support for Tomee, I was wondering if there was any unofficial.
