Q: Dota 2 - Do Illusions have all passive abilities as my hero has? Even from items?

I am a long time Dota Player, but still this question I can't answer. I know that your Illus always get the lifereg of your hero and attack speed etc. But what happes if I buy a basher ? Do my Illus stun with their own cooldown of 1 sec for a bash or is It just me ? So wouldn't be panthom lancer...

@Wipqozn I played 5 minutes of DS2 last night.

FIRST FIVE MINUTES IS BORING

Wipqozn

@Sterno So...you got to the witch hut and made your character?

Kevin van der Velden

@Sterno YOU FILTHY CASUAL. YOU CAN'T SAY SOMETHING IS BORING AFTER ONLY 5 MINUTES. YOU NEED TO PLAY FOR AT LEAST 50 HOURS

Sterno

@Wipqozn I got to the first half of that statement.

Wipqozn

12:14

@KevinvanderVelden Except 5 minute really is too early.

Sterno

Then I got sleepy and went to bed.

Oh, I fully expect DS2 to be awesome.

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn yeah, but still =p

Sterno

It just didn't manage to keep me awake last night

Wipqozn

@Sterno you should backtrack before making your character.

Sterno

And die to the troll thing?

Kevin van der Velden

12:15

@Sterno are you not playing the prepare to die edition?

Wipqozn

@Sterno Yes! err, I mean, no! you can totally wail on that thing with your fists!

FIGHT LIKE A MAN

Kevin van der Velden

Or was that DS1 only?

Wipqozn

@KevinvanderVelden DS1 only. The PC version for DS2 won't be out for 2 more months.

@KevinvanderVelden How many times has @spugsley been bridge married now? Isn't she married to @AshleyNunn too?

Sterno

Seriously though, is there a reason to backtrack?

Wipqozn

@Sterno there are a couple items in the starting area.

Sterno

12:17

I think I found a coin.

That's it

Wipqozn

Two or three in the area near the ogre, and there's one below the bridge outside the witches hut. You probably saw it, not sure if you got it.

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn she is indeed still married to @AshleyNunn, but there's nothing wrong with polyamory/polygamy.

@LessPop_MoreFizz I forgot you exist on other sites on the network.

@wipqozn I even moderate another one!

Wipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz My word.

I suppose you are an expert when it comes to beer.

LessPop_MoreFizz

That said, I have about 5 times as much rep on gaming as I do on all my other sites combined.

But what matters here is... TOWEL.

Wipqozn

12:43

My next two highest rep sites are sites on which I only have one post.

In fact my highest voted post is a question on Movies.SE.

LessPop_MoreFizz

No towel for you then.

Wipqozn

Also Movies.SE has been in beta for so long now.

I asked my one question 2 years ago now.

According to their Area 51 stats their questions per day is at 7.9 and answers per question at 1.7, putting both of those in the "okay" category. Everything else is rated excellent.

They got almost 16k visits per day and only 7.9 questions per day. My word.

Sterno

Unfortunately 7.8 of those 7.9 questions per day are "poke the plot hole"

Private Pansy

@LessPop_MoreFizz Does it make you a hoopy frood?

Mad Scientist

@Wipqozn There are far more extreme sites in that regard, e.g. Seasoned Advice and Skeptics

Wipqozn

12:51

Oh wow, skeptics has less than 4 questions per day with 20k visits per day.

Seasoned advice is at 6.6 with with 73k. wow.

I love the huge drop off between stack overflow and the res tof the site.

Today I learned that my scanner is crap

Kevin van der Velden

Hey @Wipqozn, did you ever Powerlord's advice? (points to your profile)

Wipqozn

Stack Overflow has 8.7k questions per day, and no other site above 600.

Kevin van der Velden

@3ventic it's a scanner, it should be obvious tht it's crap

Wipqozn

@KevinvanderVelden I still havne't played Other M, so no.

3ventic

12:53

Actually it's a printer with scanner

which just makes it worse

Kevin van der Velden

@3ventic double crap then

3ventic

The printer is even worse

Kevin van der Velden

It's like, crap with a frosting of crap

3ventic

The printer has a built-in RNG for when to print out properly

half the time the paper comes out with the content either tilted so half of it isn't visible or the ink is smudged all over the paper

Powerlord

@KevinvanderVelden What advice?

Kevin van der Velden

Sep 15 '11 at 18:43, by Powerlord

@Wipqozn That reminds me, when you do play Other M, make sure to load your save again after the end credits roll.

Powerlord

Oh, on a different subject, the last cutscene in Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy amused me.

@Powerlord Oh right, I ned to play that a tsome point.

@fredley All I see is vanilla 2048 on the same page as yet another Flappy Bird clone.

Is there more to it than that?

fredley

@StrixVaria No.

But now you can play your two favourite games at the same time!

Powerlord

@fredley I'll be honest, doge2048 was more impressive.

Private Pansy

@Powerlord Well, one is slapping together a page with two iframes in it, the other involved editing the stylesheet of the game so that it displayed Comic Sans

I'm not sure if either are suppose to be impressive

Powerlord

13:25

@PrivatePansy doge2048 also changed the images, but meh.

Kevin van der Velden

@Powerlord which also involved simply editing the style sheet

Powerlord

@KevinvanderVelden Still took more effort than 2 iframes. Although I admit it sounded more impressive when I thought they'd have to edit a binary.

Kevin van der Velden

@Powerlord it's javascript, there is no binary =p

Powerlord

Seriously, MS, why does Remote Desktop on two Windows 7 machines with multiple monitors shove everything over to the left monitor when the original source had them spread across both?

Q: What is the difference with _se maps in CS:GO?

I've noticed that in CS:GO, there are two versions of some maps: The "normal" map, and the _se version of the map (for instance, de_aztec and de_aztec_se). What is the difference between the standard map and the _se version of it?

Frank

Now THERE'S a lego machine.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot They want to make sure they ruin the show as much as possible before letting it die.

Origami Robot

@Sterno You mean Chuck.

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot Probably but you can't really be sure!

Speaking of shows that started out okay and just ran themselves into the ground though, I submit Chuck.

Frank

@Sterno Chuck was awesome straight through.

Ending was kinda meh, but it kept itself fresh.

Jason Berkan

14:21

This is funny because it is true.

Sterno

@Frank It gives my life a sense of stability to know we never agree on anything.

Frank

@Sterno Except when we do.

And then the world burns.

Sterno

@Frank I think pretty much any time the two of us agree on site policy, all other discussion should halt and our opinion should be immediately implemented.

Frank

@Sterno That's rare and uncommon enough that I completely agree.

Now, to bribe you regarding lore...:P

Sterno

AND BY OUR AGREEMENT SUCH A SYSTEM SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY IMPLEMENTED

Maybe this was all a ploy and we're like Peter and Valentine Wiggins!

I hate all the hours I have to spend at work not reading the last 150 pages of Words of Radiance.

Sterno

I want to read that book but I also don't want to be mad that book 3 isn't out yet.

Kevin van der Velden

@StrixVaria replace last 150 pages of Words of Radiance with every book in furies of calderon for me

StrixVaria

@KevinvanderVelden I'm going to read the rest of that series after I finish Words of Radiance.

Origami Robot

14:28

@Sterno It was confirmed by the actor.

Kevin van der Velden

I finished the first yesterday, then went to pick up the second book so I could read some more

StrixVaria

Everyone even kind of half remotely interested in fantasy needs to read Stormlight Archive.

Kevin van der Velden

@StrixVaria YES

Is book 2 the last book of the series or are there gonna be more books?

StrixVaria

@KevinvanderVelden Planned 10 books.

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot Actors cannot be trusted. They lie about who they are for a living.

Mad Scientist

14:30

@Sterno At least Sanderson writes really, really fast and is still reasonably young, so I'm confident that the series will be actually finished

StrixVaria

The first 5 are one plotline, and the second 5 are a "sequel" plotline.

Kevin van der Velden

Cool

I like longer series :)

Sterno

@KevinvanderVelden In other words, wait 12 years, then read them.

StrixVaria

Now that Sanderson is done with WoT they should come out more frequently...

He writes really fast.

Sterno

I'm going to be sad when I'm older and a cool series comes out and I know I'll probably die before it's finished.

Kevin van der Velden

14:31

@Sterno naah, I'll just do what I did with WoT, reread them every time a new one comes out

Origami Robot

@Sterno Or you could say they only lie because they are paid to. Plently of people lie for free.

Frank

@StrixVaria I'm not quite done the second book yet.

StrixVaria

It's too bad he also writes things that aren't Stormlight Archive.

Frank

Turns out, I've burned through about half the book in the last couple of days.

Kevin van der Velden

@StrixVaria naah, change is good and keeps you fresh

StrixVaria

14:31

@Frank Last you mentioned you had read about 100-150 pages, and now you're almost done?

@KevinvanderVelden Meh. I will read probably anything he publishes at this point anyway.

Frank

@StrixVaria I was actually closer to half when I said that; totally misjudged where I was at.

Kevin van der Velden

@StrixVaria jeah, people asked me what I wanted for my birthday and I just went to his wikipedia page and added every book I didn't have yet

StrixVaria

@Frank Ah ok. Anyway I should hopefully finish by the end of the week and then I will be sad about not having book 3.

I haven't read Warbreaker or something like that yet, and I haven't read the new Mistborn book.

Mad Scientist

I think the only stuff I haven't read from him are the WoT books, some short stories and that one kids series

Frank

@StrixVaria Yep. But the series is good enough that I don't mind waiting.

He's got some pretty decent other books.

Warbreaker is...interesting.

StrixVaria

14:33

Steelheart was pretty good.

Frank

It has a concept of using souls as currency.

StrixVaria

@Frank That's really interesting.

One thing I decidedly don't like about Sanderson is that apparently it's canon that all the worlds from his separate series are just different planets in the same solar system.

Frank

@StrixVaria So it's said. Not sure I like that idea, either, but as long as they don't bleed through the books, it makes no difference.

Kevin van der Velden

@Frank not really souls though

Mad Scientist

@StrixVaria That is something you can ignore easily, though. I didn't even recognize the crossover in the second Stormlight Archive book immediately.

Frank

14:36

@KevinvanderVelden Pretty close to it.

StrixVaria

@MadScientist As long as it remains ignorable, I'm fine with it.

I'm just worried he's going to try to tie things together more closely.

Origami Robot

Why hasn't anyone cleared the "Good Morning" stars yet? What am I paying you people for?

Kevin van der Velden

@Frank meh, it was explicitly stated to not be souls =p.

StrixVaria

@MadScientist About how far into the second book is the crossover? I'm curious if I missed it.

Mad Scientist

@StrixVaria There is one pretty much in the middle (that one is somewhat subtle), and one very clear one at the very end. I'm not counting Hoid, as he's in every Cosmere book as far as I know

StrixVaria

14:39

@MadScientist I'm well past the middle, at least. I didn't really catch one though. We have a room for spoilers that you could un-freeze and tell me about it.
