16 hours ago, by Origami Robot
Oh, you gonna let him talk like that about your baby, @Sterno?
Ugh. My worst parenting experience was due to the soft spot on the top of my first kid.
Aww. They decreased the maximum number of stacks the seasonal Monk Item can add. Now it can just add 3. Which makes it much less useful.
@Frank STOP TRYING TO BAIT ME INTO COMING BACK, DIABLO!
FAE
FAE
@JasonBerkan What happened? x_X
@OrigamiRobot Monks are getting some pretty decent upgrades.
Although, we're losing dodge as our mechanic.
16:09
@Frank THAT'S A GOOD THING.
@FAE I was taking off his shirt and lifted up with my fingers while I lightly pushed down on his head with my thumbs. One thumb went down farther than it should have. I freaked out.
FAE
FAE
@JasonBerkan x____X
@OrigamiRobot I think it's a bad thing.
Now we're just reskinned Barbarians.
WHO CARES? DODGE WAS ALWAYS FAKE TOUGHNESS
HORRIBLE MECHANIC
@OrigamiRobot It was a pretty decent mechanic, and gave you a different choice.
Now it's just, "Meh. Armor. Done."
16:12
@Frank IT WAS A WORSE CHOICE
@OrigamiRobot It was a choice. That was what mattered.
I actually hit somewhere in the vicinity of 60 to 70% dodge, I think.
THE DIFFERENCE IN ARMOR AND ALLRES ISN'T A CHOICE
@Frank WHICH WAS FAKE TOUGHNESS
That was a decent amount of straight up damage mitigation.
@OrigamiRobot If everything was dodgeable, it wouldn't be fake.
Damage patches were the Monk killer.
WITH DODGE, MY TOUGHNESS WAS ~12m AND I COULD SOLO T3 OR WHATEVER IT'S CALLED NOW
WITH DEX = ARMOR, MY TOUGHNESS WENT DOWN TO 7m, BUT I COULD SOLO T4
So rather than, y'know, make those dodgeable, they'd rather everyone just take less damage.
@OrigamiRobot I can solo T4, too. But adding in stupid undodgeable forced movement mechanics doesn't invalidate the dodge mechanic.
It makes the forced movement mechanics overpowered.
16:16
@Frank IF MY TOUGHNESS WENT DOWN AND MY SURVIVABILITY WENT UP, THAT PROVES THAT DODGE WAS MISLEADING IN TERMS OF HOW MUCH TOUGHNESS IT GAVE
THEY ALWAYS NEEDED TO CHANGE IT TO BE STRAIGHT MITIGATION INSTEAD OF AN ALL OR NOTHING CHANCE
WHETHER THEY CHANGE DODGE TO WORK THE SAME WAY AS ARMOR/ALLRES OR JUST CHANGE IT TO BE ARMOR IS JUST SEMANTICS
NO, I STOPPED PLAYING DIABLO FOR A REASON
YOU TRICKED ME!
NOT TALKING ABOUT IT ANYMORE
FAE
FAE
@OrigamiRobot lol
@OrigamiRobot What's your favourite class in Diablo 3?
@Wipqozn TURTLES
@OrigamiRobot So that Paladin class introduced in the expansion? good choice.
16:24
Crusader! That's what it was called.
Side note: I'm a horrible human being.
THAT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE A TURTLE
NO ONE EXPECTS YOU TO BE GOOD AT BEING A HUMAN
Just like no one expects you to be good at being a human, due to being a robot!
THAT'S A RELIEF
@OrigamiRobot Why? Some people want an all or nothing chance.
The point is, it gives you a choice of how you want to build your character.
@Frank Yeah, what are your thoughts on this @OrigamiRobot?
16:28
Now, there's nothing but damage mitigation.
I WILL BLINDLY AGREE WITH EVERYTHING FRANK IS SAYING ON THIS TOPIC
@OrigamiRobot Interesting.
user15026
I love living near a bakery where I can pick up a loaf of wood-oven baked sourdough WHILE IT IS STILL WARM.
user15026
Best breakfast.
16:43
@AshleyNunn so jealous!
user15026
@Chippies It's dangerous, though
@AshleyNunn You're basically a monster.
when I was little, the story next to our house used to get fresh baked bread every morning and if you went at like 8am or so, it would still be warm
user15026
@Wipqozn A bread devouring monster.
@AshleyNunn Since there's a chance you might eat too much bread?
16:44
@AshleyNunn ...somehow I thought you said you loved living near a library...
I'd usually have half the loaf gone by the time I got home, which was like 2 minute walk
then I'd have to go get another one :D
and I was wondering why libraries had sourdough bread until I read it again
well, my mother makes delicious bread all the time, and I'm also able to make bread, so I don't even need abakery.
user15026
@Powerlord That would be a great library
@Wipqozn baking bread takes like, a YEAR!
buying bread is much faster
16:45
@Chippies but not nearly as good.
and not nearly as many options
user15026
@Wipqozn I can make bread, but sourdough takes so much tiiiiiime especially if you don't have a starter.
@Wipqozn depends on bakery
user15026
@Wipqozn Dude this is handmade sourdough, it is amazing.
@AshleyNunn Yes
Now I want some home made bread
Man, @AshleyNunn is the worst.
user15026
@Wipqozn I am the worst.
16:46
She's right up with caligula.
@Wipqozn woah, @AshleyNunn did you hear? @Wipqozn just called you the worst!!!
I don't know what to think now
Yay. Now I get to fight with upper management to send the message of, "IT is not here to pick up the slack for every other department. Can we do their jobs? Probably. But a lack of foresight on their part does not mean IT should be penalized."
user15026
@Chippies It's a changing world, man.
@AshleyNunn is it... official? or are we waiting for the approval of council? Is @Wipqozn the 2nd worst now? :O
user15026
@Chippies I think there is some paperwork yet.
16:49
Oh, I get it. That's funny.
17:14
<3 Ubuntu for having kernel updates two days in a row, because I sure do love rebooting my server.
17:30
@Wipqozn I can do that. It's also on dailyroyale right now for $4. I'm very tempted, but only if I have people to play it with.
@GnomeSlice Great, thanks.
17:42
@Wipqozn Say, do you like ambient music?
@GnomeSlice sure do.
@Wipqozn Are you familiar with Miyuki?
@GnomeSlice sure aren't
@GnomeSlice I have 10 minutes at most, so it has that long to make an impression.
Althoughmy impressions so far are positive.
I quite like this actually.
sigh Well, there's one battle I will lose by being too competent.
17:57
@Frank the "No more pet products" battle?
@KevinvanderVelden The, "Well, it takes IT less time to perform this duty than to train the department who's supposed to do it, so IT can do it." battle.
Never mind that I'm up to my eyeballs in work.
@BenBrocka I was reconsidering a PS4, but then I found out OrigamiRobot is already taken as a PSN name
You still have your forehead left! PILE ON MORE WORK

Q: As a jungler when should I push the lane after a gank?

MonkeezOnFireI'm getting fairly confidant in ganking abilities as a jungler. However, sometimes I don't know what I should do following a gank. This is what I typically do now for early/mid game ganks: Both my team mate and enemy laner are dead/recalled: I clear current wave then head back into jungle. Ene...

Q: How many points do the skill upgrades cost?

TeryxHow many skill points do each of Joel's skill upgrades cost? Do the costs change across difficulties (aside from Shiv Master not being available on Easy and Listen Mode Distance not being available on Survivor and Grounded)? This question applies equally to the Remastered version of the game.

> On the one hand, you want to keep your systems up to date. On the other hand, installing updates on Windows is like Russian roulette with five out of six chambers loaded.
@Powerlord I assume you're referring to this
does anybody here like post rock?
because holy shit this is good exxasens.bandcamp.com/album/satellites
@MBraedley Yes, I quoted a comment someone left on a post about that
The bad thing is... these updates installed on my home desktop when I shut it down to leave for work this morning.
18:27
The forecast high for Winnipeg is 29C today, but @Frank could still go downhill skiing if he wanted to.
@JasonBerkan As opposed to uphill skiing?
@OrigamiRobot As opposed to cross-country skiing.
It's not even 25C here today. :O
We're supposed to hit 32C, which I believe is pretty close to the hottest it's been all year.
18:43
Did I say not even 25C here today? Just checked the weather, it's not even 20C here today.
(67F)
9XF and raining. when its not raining its 90% huminidty
trade?
That depends, can we keep the warmer weather once winter arrives?
I don't want another winter like the last one.
you get the winter too (70s with high humidity and rain)
Weh. I missed all the pistol-showing action.
@Rapitor Where are you located again?
18:48
florida
@Pvt.Grichmann We can start again
's no use. I sold mine.
I have one @PrivatePansy may have seen before
> The Hong Kong Police and Royal Singaporean Police were issued Webley Mk III & Mk IV .38/200 revolvers from the 1930s. Singaporean police Webleys were equipped with safety catches, a rather unusual feature in a revolver.
Reading the article @JasonBerkan posted, I saw this headline:
> Pilot lost control of passenger plane after his prosthetic arm fell off during landing: safety report
O__O
18:59
Saw that one too
Now, I'm all for equal opportunity employment, but seriously, there has to be a line when the safety of the travelling public is concerned
And it's not like commercial pilot hiring is equal opportunity already, given that most national air standards boards have minimum unaided eye requirements for commercial pilots.
Apparently I missed a new Me First album. And it includes My Heart Will Go On and I Will Always Love You
@MBraedley I suppose that the chances of that happening were ruled to be beyond minuscule

19:37
@JasonBerkan Yeah, our snow hills get to silly heights.
And they're dense enough for trucks to drive on and not make a dent.
So that's a lot of snow to melt.
Note to self: Oujia Board + Doctor's Revenge Challenge = Bad Idea
@Blem That thumbnail kinda looks like a more detailed Alf.
Hey has there ever been any discussion on a minimum amount of time before an answer can be accepted?
maybe i searched poorly in meta but i didnt find anything
@Brian Perhaps not in our meta, but, yes, there is a minimum amount of time before you can accept an answer.
@Frank how long is it? i've never seemed to run into it
@Brian Uh. Two hours or so? I think?
@Frank ah thanks, has there been any talk on extending it to a day or making it a bit longer? Ive run into a couple scenarios where i see an answer thats only partially correct and could have a much better answer but the asker has accepted it already
20:00
@Brian That's less a system issue than a user issue.
@Frank I thought it was only 15 minutes.
Answer acceptance is always asker choice.
That checkmark only means it helped the asker the most. Not that it was the best answer.
@Powerlord pretty sure it is only 15min also
@Powerlord Could be. I'm not sure.
its 15 minutes but self answer is longer
20:02

A: How does accepting an answer work?

jjnguyAccepting Answers: How does it work? Accepting an answer is important as it both rewards posters for solving your problem and informs others that your issue is resolved. You may select any answer on questions you asked as the "accepted" answer. Only one answer at a time can be the 'accepted' a...

@Frank but the asker may not have access to the best answers in just 15 mins! :)
Personally I prefer to leave it longer
@Brian Doesn't matter.
They can accept whichever answer they like.
So long as it actually answers the question, anyways. But deleting an accepted answer requires a mod.
@Frank I understand that it just seems like for more complex answers the community would benefit more from increasing the time before accept
@Brian The community will benefit regardless.
An accepted answer doesn't mean you can't add more answers.
20:04
@AshleyNunn Do you know anything about MegaCity?
I'm sure dedicated answerers would still answer accepted answers, but theres less incentive
Question. Does anyone here know good and cheap (if not free) 2d animation software?
@Brian If your primary goal is imaginary internet points, then you're here for the wrong reason.
@Frank my primary goal is helping the asker of the question, but in alot of cases once an answer is accepted the asker may not bother coming back to the question
so theres less incentive to answer it
@Brian Two upvotes outweigh an accept.
You'll get that easily on better answers.
20:07
@RPiAwesomeness What kind of animation?
@Frank touche but it still just irks me sometimes when answers that have some flawed info are accepted and the asker leaves with that flawed info thinking its correct. Oh well guess thats a personal problem heh
Gah. I flippin hate my internet/laptop combination...friggin laptop won't stay connected and when it is connected, the speed sucks
@Brian We're here to help everyone on the internet, not just the person asking the question.
@RPiAwesomeness Character animation for games?
@Brian Answer acceptance isn't regulated nor mandated in any sense whatsoever.
20:09
@RPiAwesomeness Are you using the wifi built into the modem (presumably) supplied by your ISP? If so, get a new access point.
user15026
@GnomeSlice It wasn't my favourite game ever
@AshleyNunn A ringing endorsement. :)
@MBraedley of course but the person with the most immediate need of accurate info is generally the asker :D
@MBraedley No, we have a separate router, we've just got sucky DSL
user15026
@Brian You know that people get alerted for every new answer their question gets, right? And the accept isn't set in stone? And people can (and do. Like really do) leave answers EVEN after and accept?
20:10
Anyway @Frank thanks for the information/link was helpful
@GnomeSlice No, animation similar to Game Theorists and CGP Grey, if you watch those :)
user15026
@Brian Well, then they should be the ones judging their accept of the answer, no?
@RPiAwesomeness Googled one. This looks like pretty much a slideshow.
@RPiAwesomeness You can do that in GIMP, to some degree, although it's definitely not ideal.
user15026
@GnomeSlice It just wasn't very good. :P I don't realy know what else to say about it
20:11
Windows Movie Maker should do it
@GnomeSlice I figured something along those lines. Problem is, I would like it to work on Linux :P
@AshleyNunn i think you misunderstood what i was curious about, of course the asker should have the ability to accept whatever they want
user15026
@Brian Then why do we need a delay on the accept? It doesn't prevent me or anyone from going "here is a better answer"
Some software you can run in WINE, but I'd prefer not to use Windows, cause the only Windows PC I have access to really is slow as balls.
user15026
And I really don't think it is all that discouraging.
20:12
@AshleyNunn why do we upvote answers?
@RPiAwesomeness openshot.org
user15026
@Brian Because they are an indication of the community's opinion.
user15026
Which is totally okay if it happens to be separate from the OP's idea of correctness.
@RPiAwesomeness pitivi.org
I haven't tried either of those but at a cursory glance they look alright.
can the community give an opinion in 15 mins? I'm mostly saying that the community can help shift the better answers to the top by upvotes if there is a longer time before accept (this is again mostly for more complex answers)
user15026
20:14
@Brian Why do they have to give an opinion in 15 minutes?
user15026
(I know that's the time before an answer can be accepted. I am not sure how the two relate.)
@Brian I think really what you're getting at is the "fastest gun in the west problem"
@Brian Reasons to upvote an answer: "This helped me" "I know the subject matter and this answer is correct and understandable" "The answerer looks to have put a lot of work into the answer, and has convinced me of their position" "<some other reason>"

Q: Fastest Gun in the West Problem

Omer van KloetenI feel like there's a problem with Stack Overflow, as the number of people prowling it increases. Each question's answers are sorted by descending score and then by descending time of posting. This means that if a person sits down and answers a question in a long, thorough way, going through eve...

@GnomeSlice Th'anks :) Ill look into those :)
user15026
20:16
@Ktash But I mean this will happen no matter how long that people wait to accept, because it has to do with rate of posting, more than anything
user15026
And it tends to even out over time.
@AshleyNunn Yes. But the first answer is often the most accepted one (was my understanding of want for a longer timer)
user15026
(aka I really think people need to be a lot more relaxed over their invisible internet points)
I was just pointing to a relevant post on the matter :)
user15026
@Ktash Yes, but that doesn't mean it can't be changed later. And really, votes sort that stuff out, for the most part.
20:17
@AshleyNunn But they're not invisible! </nitpick>
user15026
@Ktash Yeah, and my replies are not like...arguing with you, they're just opinions. I am not trying to come off as queen bitch monkey or something :P
user15026
@MBraedley Shuuuuush.
@AshleyNunn Haha, you are of course not. Until you want to be ;)
user15026
@Ktash I think I make a better whale than I do a monkey
Oh hey, the clock is telling me that I should go home now, so that's what I'm going to do.
20:20
@AshleyNunn Can you be this one?
user15026
@Ktash oooh okay
@AshleyNunn In
@MBraedley The clock isn't telling me that yet. :|
So if the increase delay is out, is there any way a notification to the asker could be sent out when the top answer is no longer the accepted answer and they should maybe relook at the question?
user15026
@Brian No, there's no functionality like that.
20:23
Either way this is a non-issue for people experienced with se, mostly just an issue for new ppl
user15026
Why does the accept matter so much?
its not the accept its the asker having the best information provided by the se community
user15026
@Brian Thy get notified of new answers, they can look at those, and judge them according to their own personal worth criteria, and change the answer if they want to, and if they don't choose to, well, then.
GAAH. My ex just posted on facebook that she is also reading daughter of the empire. Now I want to read it even more... cc @AshleyNunn @Wipqozn

@Arperum You shoooooould. :D
20:25
@AshleyNunn But I don't have them :(
user15026
@Arperum Do you have any issues with e-copies?
@AshleyNunn Nope, do you have some spare maybe?
user15026
@Arperum I certainly do. Do I have you on Steam or some such so we can arrange getting them to you?
@AshleyNunn new answers are great and im glad they send notifications, but not all answers are new and most new answers have 0 votes :) so as an asker i cant measure there merits because if i knew the best answer i wouldnt have asked the question
@AshleyNunn I do indeed. I'll poke you over there.
user15026
20:27
@Brian Well, that's not entirely true - you can, say, try out the stuff in hte answer, and if it works, wheeee yay, cookies for that person
@Brian ...since the person who accepted the answer is the asker, when would that happen?
FAE
FAE
@Arperum I HAVE STARTED A REVOLUTION, MWAHAHAHA

@FAE EVIL! YOU ARE EVIL. I WAS PLANNING ON PLAYING MINECRAFT MAYBE.

FAE
@Arperum :D
@Arperum Also, I'm sorry to hear that the kitty was not your kitty, Jochem told me. :(
@Powerlord this would happen when the community deems an answer better than the accepted one and would be to alert them that the one they accepted may not be the best.
@FAE Yea, me and my mom were both pretty devastated :( I'm happy I got Pixel here otherwise that evening would've been even worse.
user15026
@Brian But if the OP thinks the one they accepted is good enough, and they know what the other answers are, why does it matter what teh community thinks? The asker got the help they need
FAE
FAE
@Arperum Yeah. ._. Hopefully, she's got a new home somewhere and people just thought she was a stray and are taking care of her. :( I'm so sorry.
20:31
@FAE I'm secretly trying to have a super tiny hope that she'll ever come back, but I'm afraid she won't.
FAE
FAE
@Arperum Understandable. Maybe she will surprise you someday. :) In the meantime, I'm sure Pixel will keep you lovely company.
@FAE Pixel did take a nap on my lap earlier this evening.
