1:02 PM
I'm often within 15 yards anyways. Slow time makes it really easy to be close
Plus all the stunning I'll be doing will help with that too.
also, I could be wrong, but I swear that some of the tool tips for these skills are wrong.
Thought glass cannon was a bigger increase + decrease.
I just want to go home and play diablo 3 now.
 
is the level cap gonna be increased to 70 even for those who don't have expansion?
 
1:21 PM
@Chippies Don't think so.
 
so, those without expansion pack won't be able to play with those that do have expansion pack?
 
@Chippies I think they can, they just won't be able to access the new act.
 
imho, if they keep the level cap at 60 for non-expansion people they are gonna lose money
 
@Chippies How?
 
@Wipqozn less new players. It's like what, 100$ for diablo + expansion?
 
1:24 PM
I would think that keeping the level cap would have the opposite effect. They will get more money by keeping the cap.
 
@Chippies they didn't lose money any of the other times they did this exact thing
 
well, maybe not, what do I know :)
 
They're pushing the extension pretty hard inside the game right now, I'd expect it to get rather frustrating to play for anyone that doesn't buy it
 
@Chippies $80. Also, what kalina said. They do this with WoW all the time.
Also anyone buying the base game right now with the intention to play with friends would probably upgrade to the expansion once they hit 60.
 
I doubt they get all that many new players at this point anyway
 
1:26 PM
IF they're just planning to play solo then the new expansion doesn't really make a difference.
 
as I've never actually played wow after any of the expansions came out, I figured they mostly just locked out new areas and stuff for those without expansions
 
@Wipqozn Unless they wanna play Crusader.
 
@Wipqozn and with the previous Diablo games
 
@OrigamiRobot I meant people only buying the base game at once, instead of base + expansion.
 
Other than the bump right now due to the expansion
 
1:28 PM
@Chippies locked out new regions, new items, new mounts, new pets, level capped at where the old expansion had it, etc
 
Also @kalina is under contract to move to a more reasonable time zone to play with us cool people.
 
You don't play a game like Diablo knowing you have a level cap relative to everyone else, even if you play solo. Unless you're playing for the story. In which case, D3 is a poor choice
 
due to the subscription part of it all they do get some features, but not many
 
@kalina I always thought level cap was global, that made more sense to me, but I guess I was wrong
 
@OrigamiRobot sorry I am unwilling
@Chippies you was wrong
 
1:28 PM
Breach of contract!
 
there was no contract
if I suddenly play D3 with you guys, at 5am, I have no real justification for not playing Final Fantasy with @Frank
and that makes me a bad person
I'm not even sure I want to stay up and watch continuum with you
what with you deleting your account and all that
 
@kalina He's just following in your footsteps.
 
@kalina What if I deleted so I'd have more time to watch Continuum? Irony!
 
@kalina being an online gamer is complicated. You can never play with everyone!
 
@Wipqozn he can't follow in my footsteps, I have tiny feet
he's making his own footsteps
 
1:30 PM
Maybe I have tiny feet too.
You don't know.
YOU DON'T KNOW MY FEET
 
@Chippies especially around here, all of the people who would play MMOs are all Americans
@OrigamiRobot a guy with tiny feet... that must mean... tiny...
nevermind
 
Shoes? Yes it would mean that.
 
Arqade is best MMO
 
@kalina I know all about that. I used to stay up all night and sleep 'til 3~4pm just so I could spend time with my friends, who all happened to be from the continent of America :x
 
@Sterno Arqade NG+ is significantly better than the first playthrough
MASS EXODUS FROM ARQADE: 500 TOP USERS DELETE THEIR ACCOUNT, KALINA BLAMED FOR ADVERTISING ARQADE NEW GAME+
6
 
1:33 PM
You hacked NG+ to keep most of your gear. That's cheating.
 
@Sterno This is true.
 
@Sterno no I'm doing a Metal Gear Solid style NG+
 
@kalina should really delete her account and start from scratch like a real pro.
 
where you get to keep some of your gear and all of your past knowledge
 
Rogue Legacy NG+
 
1:34 PM
@Wipqozn I can't, I'm about to realm first Marshall on a bunch of realms
also: I started playing WoW again
which is the real reason I won't be available to play D3 or watch Continuum
 
We should have made her pick a new avatar too.
 
@OrigamiRobot I did, I chose a pony, people raged
 
That was you!?!?!?!?!
 
...
 
ALL PONIES ARE @KALINA: DATA ACCEPTED
 
1:40 PM
@OrigamiRobot YOUR LOGIC IS BROKEN.
(and your spreadsheet is still fancy)
 
@Arperum I fixed a mistake. Redownload it.
 
@OrigamiRobot made a spreadsheet?
 
@Wipqozn For gem prices.
Good thing I don't play EVE (cc @kalina)
 
Afternoon o/
 
HI @FEICHINGER
 
1:45 PM
HI @SPUGSLEY
 
One of us needs to see a doctor...
Either your eyes or my, well, everything.
 
US Emeralds are cheap, and amethysts are pricey.
 
@Wipqozn Yeah, I played for about 2 hours with a brand new character on Master and he's level 20 now.
 
I should really get around to play the original Final Fantasy Tactics.
 
Elites can be a little tough but other than that it's smooth sailing
I just have to remember to vendor or craft a new weapon every few levels

Q: I am having issues with Stack Exchange chat, and feel I may have been hacked. What can I do?

Stizzle84Someone from stackexchange hacked into my file and added another account. It is disrupting my chat time. Please tell me how to delete a profile! I already tried creating a new email but they found out what it was.

wat
 
@OrigamiRobot It's your all-caps. Autocad is no excuse this time, you were talking properly before.
 
@FEichinger I am just typing out @FEICHINGER.
The capital I in HI was actually a mistake.
 
Liar.
 
@AATTVVV You should link me your wizard build
 
You can see the skills at the bottom.
 
1:57 PM
@Sterno I'm so confused.
 
Sometimes I use Hydra instead of Magic Weapon.
 
@AATTVVV so much crit
 
And sometimes I use Mirror Image instead of Teleport.
 
Leap is not a great Barbarian skill but I enjoy leaping around too much to get rid of it
 
@Sterno Yeah, a remnant of AH min/maxing.
@Sterno Yeah it's pretty fun. Way better than Furious Charge.
 
1:58 PM
It turns out a complete set of disc brake pads can be changed while waiting for an iTunes update to install
Note that installing an update to your Apple approved media player requires a restart, and multiple progress bar screens on reboot
 
Wow. Unstable Anomaly is nice.
 
Also the positions of your monitors will be forgotten
 
@Sterno Yeah, hopefully you don't need it, but if you do it's amazing.
 
@AATTVVV I like your wizard set-up. I'm planning on using this when I get my Wizard to level 60 (minus the extra passive).
I might swap familiar out for Teleport if I find myself dying too much.
 
@Wipqozn You appear to be a melee-range wizard who has chosen the Glass Cannon passive. I wonder if that will work in Torment
 
2:02 PM
@Sterno We'll just need to wait and see!
It's really hard to make a build when I haven't played torment much yet + haven't maxed out my wizard.
 
I ended up dropping Glass Cannon on master because elites were beating me up too much (way down here at level 20, anyway)
Really liking Arcane Torrent, at this level anyway
 
@Sterno Same here. This is what I've been using for now.
Arcane Torrent is really good against single targets.
 
I don't know if I can find my profile without logging in. And I can't log in from work because I don't have my authenticator. Therefore, I can't link my shitty, useless build.
 
@Sterno You can just make it up on the skill builder. that's what I used.
Assuming you remember your build anyways.
 
STOP WITH YOUR LOGIC
Mine's pretty pointless to link anyway since I've barely unlocked any skills
 
2:06 PM
 
Right now it's pretty much arcane torrent, that force blash push thinger if they get too close, and the arcane LAZERS beam
@AATTVVV You are magical
I don't know if they still have it but there used to be some super-powered arcane laser beam thing on a cooldown that my wife always used
Every time she'd use it I'd yell MOTHERFUCKIN' LASER BEAM
It was good times
 
@Sterno Archon form. Pain reincarnated.
 
That sounds right
Archon form + Disintegrate, probably?
 
@Sterno Archon gets its own special brand of disintegrate.
 
Archon form has a disintegrate like attack.
 
2:10 PM
I haven't used Archon at all because it's a pain in the ass to experiment with due to the cooldown.
 
All I know is that it's got a motherfuckin' laser beam
 
It is basically an answer to all champs that lock you in with walls and go, "gotcha now bitch!", then you go all kinds of "Nope, it's YOU who's locked in with the crazy. DIE".
 
@Arperum I, too, have read Watchmen.
Such a good book.
 
Good morning, Bridge
 
@Wipqozn I enjoyed it thoroughly until the giant squid monster.
 
2:12 PM
@Wipqozn I think I didn't >_<.
 
@OrigamiRobot Star Emeralds have a 50% margin right now! Sell sell sell!
 
@Frank How close are you to affording RoS?
 
@AATTVVV Still 25% right now.
 
Oh, you're selling stuff so you can just buy RoS.
Nifty.
 
@Frank That's pretty solid for one day.
 
2:13 PM
@Frank Best possible margin on EU is 14%...
 
I found this item last night on my low-level Barbarian. CC @OrigamiRobot @Wipqozn @Frank
 
And nothing sells fast. It takes ~half an hour or more to sell anything
@AATTVVV I request to be cc'd too when talking about D3.
 
@AATTVVV That's pretty nifty.
I should make a point to play MH3U if I'm around this weekend.
 
@AATTVVV Heh. Even looks like a Monster Hunter greatsword.
 
2:17 PM
@Frank I'm already at work.
 
@Arperum I'm CCing people who I've played Monster Hunter with, who also play D3.
 
@OrigamiRobot Aww. Guess you're missing out.
 
@AATTVVV I noticed after I properly clicked the link.
 
@Frank Must have jumped right after I left.
@AATTVVV I wish the game guide showed the "natural" level and the also the level 60/70 version.
 
It does literally nothing special.
 
@AATTVVV The skin
I guess.
 
@AATTVVV It's more orange than regular items!
 
@OrigamiRobot I guess, but that's still pretty lame.
 
Big Boi (of Outkast) would like to rap to you about Dungeons Dragons Kings and Queens.
 
@AATTVVV Brings back bitter memories of GW2's Uniques.
The items themselves were garbage and no one would ever use them as is. They were only good for transferring their skin to another weapon.
 
2:22 PM
@JasonBerkan TBQH, I'm rather surprised by this given Montreals status as a major porn production hub.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz cc @GnomeSlice
 
@AATTVVV I dunno, why do legendaries like THIS exist?
 
I just noticed in my profile that it says my legendary swords are item level 31 and 34
That doesn't seem right
 
@AATTVVV Unless crafted legendaries have a chance of using legendary-only affixes.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz The rules surrounding what encompasses Canadian content are the stuff bureaucratic dreams are made of. Being filmed in Canada is often not enough to qualify as Canadian content.
 
2:25 PM
@OrigamiRobot Star prices are in freefall, as everybody tries to undercut everyone else.
 
@Frank Bubbles never last.
I accidentally clicked the minimized D3 window via RDP and it crashed :(
So much for all the queued crafts I had.
 
Hmm. Comixology appears to have had their username / password database stolen.
 
@JasonBerkan Niiice
@OrigamiRobot :(
 
@Jason so basically they are complaining that the Canadian porn doesn't have enough beavers in it?
5
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz har har
 
2:31 PM
@Frank That would be awesome
 
MUST NOT STAR
 
@JasonBerkan DO IT
 
> ...all failing to reach the required 35% threshold for Canadian content
In context it just seems so hilarious that was part of an agreement.
 
I'M DONE HERE.
You all have a nice day.
 
@SaintWacko I have no idea if they do that at all, but might be a good thing if it did.
 
2:34 PM
@OrigamiRobot EVE is just too hard for you
 
@kalina I keep being tempted to go back to EVE
 
why would you do that?
it's such a bad game
 
@kalina NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR ME!
7
 
please wait while my brain reboots after that trainwreck of pervertedness that washed over it
 
@kalina Sorry for starring it, I guess :P
 
2:37 PM
Clearly, there's only one thing we can do to atone for this.
 
Wait, so are Nagelrings rare?

Q: Logitech F710: Does it have cable?

WOOOOWCan Logitech F710 be hooked up with a USB cable to computer, instead of using 2.4GHz wireless? If not - what is the most compatible and comfy game-pad for PC that is wired(the longer the cable the better).

 
@SaintWacko LEGENDARY
 
@OrigamiRobot I didn't mean Rare I meant rare
 
2:39 PM
@FEichinger KALINA IS PERVERTED REGARDLESS OF STARS
 
I found one the other day with 42% mf
 
@OrigamiRobot Well, yes, but she wouldn't admit that.
 
Why did someone flag @LessPop_MoreFizz accurate comment about Canadian porn?
 
@Wipqozn Probably because it is talking about porn.
 
2:40 PM
Us Canadians have a very strict beaver-human ratio in our porn.
 
double-flag!
 
Apparently my kids have started calling the snowpile from shovelling my driveway K2.
 
@FEichinger BUT WE ALL KNOW THE TRUTH
 
@OrigamiRobot Yes ... Yes, we do.
 
@JasonBerkan I should know this but my memory banks have been exhausted of reservoirs.
 
2:43 PM
 
I have two piles on either side of the entrance to the driveway
I'm right on a corner so the snowplow dumps a ton of snow right there
Everything else is melted. Yard is completely uncovered. Except those mounds. Those are still about two feet high a week since the last snow.
 
I ONLY JUST SAW A SNOWPLOW IN REAL LIFE FOR THE FIRST TIME THE OTHER DAY
 
The snow in my front yard looks to be three or four feet deep. "K2" is six feet high.
 
@JasonBerkan Thank you for the refuel.
 
The kids have been sliding down it.
 
2:46 PM
@JasonBerkan What's the distance they get?
 
@GraceNote Not sure - I only see the aftermath when I get home from work.
 
We have some kinda nice hills here but there's no proper slide room so it's not so much a good ride as it is a trip into the fence.
Or, well, in this particular case, the wintry mimicry of George of the Jungle.
 
But they only have about 8 feet before they hit the snowbank on the other side of the driveway.
 
@OrigamiRobot They're a fact of life up here in Canada.
 
I still don't understand why it says "StackExchange" in the transcript but "Feeds" on the star list.
I'm going to blame @Wipqozn
 
2:48 PM
@JasonBerkan Not too much distance there.
 
@Frank IT WAS DRIVING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION WHEN I CAME AROUND A CURVE. IT KIND OF STARTLED ME.
 
@GraceNote No. If they want to sled, there is an actual small hill in their school yard. This is more of a something to do after school but before Mom makes them practice their music thing.
 
@JasonBerkan Solution - slide on hill while playing... uh...
...cello.
 
In other news today we're having a wonderful day with a clear sky and a warm sun
...if things continue like this August's going to be hell
 
@GraceNote Or double bass!
 
2:52 PM
@Yuki ...
I THOUGHT BUT DIDN'T SAY THAT EXACT THING
GET OUT OF MY HEAD
IT'S NOT SAFE THERE
 
@OrigamiRobot There's something really insulting I could say here. I'll pass.
 
WELL NOW YOU HAVE TO SAY IT
 
> "But it's so roomy in here!"
 
"really insulting"
 
@Yuki YES, YOU MIGHT FALL IN A PIT
 
2:54 PM
@badp I think calling someone empty-headed (read: stupid) is fairly insulting.
 
ADD ANOTHER TICK TO THE "HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TYPED A BRIDGE MESSAGE ONTO AN AUTOCAD DRAWING" COLUMN
 
@OrigamiRobot It's not in your spreadsheet. I request an update.
 
@Yuki It's really tame. You could write something with a little more zing in it by mentioning the fact that Origami seems still to be stuck with counting in base 1
 
@Arperum DIFFERENT SPREADSHEET
 
@OrigamiRobot In that case I can't add it since I don't have the spreadsheet.
 
2:57 PM
@Arperum The Star bubble seems to have stabilized. Higher than expected, but still less profitable than straight up Radiant Squares.
 
I'M WAITING FOR THE DAY MY BOSS COMES AND ASKS "WHY DID YOU WRITE 'DON'T STAR THIS' ON THIS SINGLE LINE?"
 
@Frank Bah, I hate it that I have to wait ~half an hour before being able to do another round. and half an hour is generous.
Most of the time it takes longer to sell anything.
 
I can't wait until I get home and can play Diablo 3, especially during the hours when I can play and @OrigamiRobot can't.
 
@Wipqozn I'M PLAYING MAGIC TONIGHT SO I WONT BE ON AT ALL
 
3:01 PM
@OrigamiRobot ah I see
 
> Do Ethernet cables have an effect on sound quality?
Yes. Particularly when connected to a streamer. We did a lot of listening with various streaming devices, and every time changing the connection to the streamer made a big difference.
 
Thursday is always draft night for you, right?
 
I have no idea whether that's true or not.
 
@Wipqozn YEP
 
3:01 PM
@Frank I can't imagine the ethernet cable would EVER be the weakest link here. The coax or worse between you and the streamer is going to be a bigger problem
And that's assuming this ethernet actually puts out a cleaner signal in any meaningful way which I doubt
 
@Sterno That would ruin the fun of seeing @OrigamiRobot yell everything for a few hours.
 
@BenBrocka That's what I doubt as well. Audio takes up so little bandwidth.
 
> Put the Sarum Tuned ARAY Ethernet cable on and you’re there in the audience.
 
@Sterno TOO BAD I CAN'T INSTALL THINGS ON THIS COMPUTER
 
@OrigamiRobot THAT IS TOO BAD
 
3:04 PM
@OrigamiRobot Oh good. I was worried we'd lose @OrigamiAutoCad.
 
You can hear the screeching sound of young female teenagers shrieking for their idol
 
Maybe we should just all use all caps during @OrigamiRobot's working hours.
 
@FEichinger that's because it's a lie
 
and you can smell the smell of armpit
and taste lousy concert beer
 
Blizzard, why you no crusader skill builder added to the skill builder yeT?
 
3:05 PM
@kalina Right ... no.
 
@FEichinger it's the truth
 
@Sterno IT REALLY IS. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO USE THIS
 
also: I could kill you with my mind
 
@kalina Bring it.
 
[SHIPPING INTENSIFIES]
 
3:06 PM
@OrigamiRobot Oh hush you.
 
Bridge ships are best ships.
 
@kalina ISN'T IT BRAIN?
@FEichinger WHAT? I'M OBVIOUSLY TALKING ABOUT @Wipqozn AND MYSELF
 
@OrigamiRobot Uh huh. Obviously.
 
@OrigamiRobot Best bridge ship.
Aside from Wipqozn X Wipqozn that is.
 
@OrigamiRobot Can't ask the IT folks to approve it?
 
3:10 PM
@GraceNote "CAN I INSTALL THIS PROGRAM SO I DON'T ANNOY THE PEOPLE IN THE CHAT ROOM I VISIT WHILE I'M SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING?"
 
@OrigamiRobot Sanity is a necessity to getting work done. Being able to communicate with others while AutoCAD renders everything over the course of hours is soothing to the soul. Without soulsoothing, you would evaporate, and a cloud of steam is not capable of using AutoCAD.
 
@GraceNote YEA, I'D NEED A SPECIAL SUIT OR SOMETHING

Q: Is it a bad idea to take drugs?

JutschgeIn Skyrim there are a few drugs and alcoholic beverages and I couldn't really figure out whether or not there are big disadvantages. I always rely on my own potions because I'm not sure about the side effects ofthose things. Can you get addicted by certain drugs (let's say Skooma) or can the gam...

 
@OrigamiRobot Just tell them you know me. That'll work.
 
I wonder if @GnomeSlice has posted Today's Listening yet.
 
New southpark game's censorship messages are pretty good as expected
 
@BenBrocka ... is that what's actually happening in the game? Normally, I'd believe that's a joke, but this is South Park.
 
One of my clients likes to send me word documents with all sorts of other files (like zipped up programs) embedded in them
 
@Yuki Actually happens
 
@Sterno What the...?
 
3:21 PM
I'd say they haven't heard of zip, but they clearly zip it up before attached it to the word document
In fact, one of the attached files is 7-zip, in case I don't know how to unzip!
 
@Sterno OH YOU MEAN IT'S NOT A DOCUMENT WITH ACTUAL INFO? THE DOC FILE ONLY EXISTS AS A MEANS TO TRANSPORT THE ZIP?
 
No. It has actual info too
My favorite has been the word doc with embedded word docs with embedded word docs with embedded files
 
OH OK, THAT'S NOT SO BAD.
@Sterno OK THAT IS SILLY.
 
@Yuki or... wait, no. the image lies. Randy is there too.
 
@Yuki yes the censorship screens explain what's actually happening in the uncensored version (and mock the country for censoring the game)
 
3:23 PM
 
NEW ICE CLIMBERS NO LONGER HAVE A SOCKET, BUT THEY DO HAVE THIS:
> Gain immunity to Freeze and Immobilize effects.
WANT
 
@FEichinger yeah I don't get the "marketing" thing
At least Matt and Trey got to write the censorship screens
 
OH, @AATTVVV, THE PURPOSE OF THAT ARMOR YOU LINKED EARLIER BEING LEGENDARY IS IT'S CRAFTABLE
 
@OrigamiRobot yes, actually
@FEichinger you wouldn't be able to handle it
3
@Lazers no, it's a good idea
 
3:30 PM
 
 
UGH, I HATE YOU
 
oh look
 
FOR SLOTHS AND GIF LAG
 
it's an animated gif of @origami sloth
 
3:36 PM
TIL I learned you can open Word files (2007 and later) as .zip files
 
@kalina I WILL ROBOT VIOLENCE ALL OVER THE PLACE
 
I'm not scared of robot violence
 
@kalina YOU SHOULD BE. IT'S AWKWARD AND EMBARRASSING FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED.
 
Welp, Newsweek just released an article speculating on the identity of the founder of Bitcoin. And they gave a picture of the guy's house that includes a clearly visible license plate (image has since been removed). And this is a guy with supposedly millions in Bitcoin, the keys to which are probably in his house.
 
3:38 PM
Noby Noby Boy is a very special game
 
@Sterno Everything that ends in an x is a zip file full of XML.
 
@Sterno weird
@JasonBerkan oh god no not XML
 
@BenBrocka The last remake of Office introduced XML documents (docx, xlsx, pubx, etc.) Semi-open standards and all that. It actually makes it very easy to programmatically deal with the documents (no more Office.Interop crap).
 
Unfortunately the files embedded were .bin, so I can't just extract them that way
And copy and pasting them from the document LOOKS like it works, but in actuality it doesn't
 
As long as I dont' have to manually generate it I actually don't care. I just hate working on XML myself
 
3:43 PM
I guess I just have to run them through the word document. So lame
 
@Sterno WHAT IS THE END GOAL OF ALL THIS? WHAT IS WHOEVER IS SENDING THESE FILES TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH?
CAPSWIZ INCOMING @Sterno IS A HERO
 
Holy crap Youtube finally added a repeat button. When did that happen?

Q: Wizard101 login and play through SSH

LeviathanSo I've been using SSH tunnelling to play on my Minecraft Server from school at lunch. The school blocks about every single game so I'm kinda forced to do this if I want to play. However, this method forwards the port 25565 for the server to localhost. So like, someminecraftserver.somedomain.c...

 
oh that's my extension probably
Protip: install extensions and forget about them for an exciting web experience
 
@OrigamiRobot I hope it's not a trojan horse that gets you fired.
But if it is, think of all the extra MTG time you'll have!
 
3:56 PM
@Sterno and Diablo 3!
 
@BenBrocka I...what?
 
@fredley It's a game where you stretch out on randomly generated worlds and eat things and shoot them out your butt and your butt can get cut off and you can eat that too
 
You can tell it's classy software because it's Shareware that you can register by mail. Just like Doom!
 
@BenBrocka ...
 
3:59 PM
@fredley It's kinda fun, mostly to see the bizarre crap the game spawns. It's by the Katamari guy and even weirder landscapes
