Now that Chumbawamba song is in my head.
Thanks a lot, @Wipqozn. All your fault.

@FAE You use my one-syllable name!
@Sterno What happens when you get knocked down? I forget.
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot You told me it's weird if someone calls you by your full name all the time!

Q: COD:MW3 Exploding Cash In Online

NocFenixSo, I've been playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on my PS3 for a while now and it's really starting to get on my nerves that every time someone gets killed on multiplayer they explode money everywhere. I've searched and searched, but cannot seem to find where to turn this off and display eith...

 
It's only weird because no one does it.
 
1:04 PM
@OrigamiRobot ^
 
@Sterno I have no idea how to read this.
 
AND I GET UP AGAIN
 
My daughter is intent on not letting me play Diablo 3 this morning.
 
FAE has removed Wipqozn from the list of this room's owners.
 
1:07 PM
OH DANNY BOY
 
FAE
@StrixVaria Tell her to stop farting.

@StrixVaria MY CARE IS ZERO UNTIL SEASONS START
 
That's a lot of forced refreshes for the turtle.
 
@OrigamiRobot I'm messing with Monk builds to pass the time.
 
@StrixVaria I DON'T WANT TO BOTHER TESTING NEW BUILDS WHEN I'M GEARED FOR A PREVIOUS PATCH
 
1:09 PM
That Wreath of Lightning gem or whatever is really good.
@OrigamiRobot My monk wasn't geared; he hadn't hit 70 until yesterday.
 
THAT MAKES SENSE THEN
 
Re-gearing my WD sounds like the worst thing I could ever do.
 
@OrigamiRobot My build is still pretty decent, as I didn't over rely on Exploding Palm.
 
But the Monk was fresh and also not the class I plan on playing in seasons, so I figured it would be a good interlude.
 
@Frank I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT HOW GOOD OR BAD IT IS. I DON'T WANT TO CLOUD MY MIND WITH MY OLD BUILD/GEAR.
 
1:12 PM
I wish I was a room owner agian. I miss those days.
Oh so long ago
 
@OrigamiRobot Have you settled on a class for the season yet?
 
lol
 
NO :(
 
When I first saw my removal I thought @fae and I did removals at the same time.
 
1:13 PM
EITHER DEMON HUNTER OR MONK
 
@OrigamiRobot go with demon hunter
Also, wait what?
I thought you stopped playinf diablo 3?
 
Demon hunter is badass
 
You should be a Monk so I have someone to tank for me.
 
@Wipqozn I knew what you were going to do ... But I was too slow.
 
FAE
Wait, I see 2 adds for me in a row.
 
1:14 PM
I've not tried monk yet
 
@FAE Does that make you a super owner?
 
@FAE Yes, Race Condition.
 
@Wipqozn LADDER = FUN
 
@FAE I Ninja'd @FEichinger
 
@Frank I'm pretty sure it means she's been promoted to mod.
 
1:14 PM
@StrixVaria YOU JUST WANT ME FOR MY MANTRAS
 
I believe it goes: SE Employee > Mod > Room Owners > Regular Users
 
@OrigamiRobot All the mantras are lame.
 
@StrixVaria DISHEARTEN IS NOT LAME
 
When picking my Mantra it wasn't "Which of these sounds best?", it was "I guess I should probably have a mantra...I guess this one is fine."
 
@OrigamiRobot there's only one Mantra which isn't lame? How disheartening.
PUN LEVEL: WIPQOZN.
 
1:16 PM
@OrigamiRobot It does all the required CC for Bane of the Trapped.
Which is why I'm using it.
 
Oh my golly gee my order still hasn't shipped yet.
Assuming they do 9-5, then they've had at least 16 minutes to process and ship my order. Why haven't they done it yet!? Lazy factory workers.
Lazy with a capital Laz.
 
@Wipqozn I think I'd deliberately ship yours last, if you were yelling at me. :P
 
@Frank Man, how rude!
 
@Wipqozn Sense of entitlement = back of the line!
 
I'm hoping my order does ship sometime today though, and arrives early next week.
 
1:20 PM
@Wipqozn What did you order, anyways?
 
@Frank Android: Netrunner cards.
In fact I just bought all the cards I don't have, so I now own a full set, except for one data pack.
 
@Arperum you totally should, it'll only possibly delete your harddrive
 
I THINK MY MAIN PROBLEM WITH NETRUNNER AS A GAME IS IT'S ASYMMETRICAL
I SEE HOW THAT COULD BE APPEALING, BUT IT'S NOT FOR ME
I'M ALWAYS GOING TO LIKE PLAYING ONE SIDE BETTER
 
@OrigamiRobot That's one thing I really like about it.
@OrigamiRobot Oh right, I forgot you were like that .Yeah,in that case I can see how it wouldn't be for you.
In tournaments you play both sides. Each match is two games: you play one as runner, and the other as corp.
Every victory gives you a point, most points at the end wins.
So the result is eveyone winds up playing a game against everyone else.
 
IIRC, I HATED PLAYING THE CORPORATION
 
1:27 PM
I really like playing corp. It's a lot of fun.
I like playing Glacier corp, which is where I make giant walls of death.
combination of things which end the run, do brain damage, trash programs, and more!
It's quite horrifying.
 
THE WORST PART IS, I LIKE THE IDEA OF PLAYING THE CORPORATION, BUT NOT THE ACTUALITY.
 
Also really expensive to get by.
@OrigamiRobot I hate when that happens in things. The idea of it grabs you, but the implementation doesn't, for whatever reason. So then you're left with this itch you want to scratch but can't.
 
BUT I REALLY LIKE BOTH THE IDEA AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RUNNER
SO EVERY GAME I'M NOT PLAYING AS THE RUNNER IS MISERABLE
 
Yeah, and that could wind up being up 50% of your playtime.
I really like playing both, but I do prefer the Corp. I also find it's easier to play, although everyone has a different opinion on which side is easier to play.
 
Writing a NMEA 0183 checksum generator is so much easier in C++ compared to Java. And so much more elegant too.
 
1:41 PM
The only thing I know about Java that makes me want to try it again is that it's how you write apps for Android. Otherwise my last experience put me off so much that I won't touch it
 
@MBraedley Due to how strings work in Java?
So, I was reading through some Source plugin stuff and thought I saw reference to a sm_horsies plugin and I was wondering if there was some new MLP plugin I hadn't seen.
Turns out it was sm_hosties (a jailbreak mod thingy)

Q: Can my companions take items out of legacy storage?

DamekCan my companions take items like crafting materials out of my legacy storage to craft items?

 
I was disappoint.
 
Yesterday I discovered my daughter can now do somersaults. Yesterday I also discovered that I'm old and out of shape so if I do somersaults, it makes me dizzy.
 
@MattЭллен after working in android I can safely say you do not want this.
 
1:46 PM
@Rapitor :D fair enough
 
@Rapitor Maybe I should start writing Android stuff just because I'm contrary.
 
@Rapitor you're not supposed to work in the android D:
 
@Sterno DID YOUR DAUGHTER LAUGH AT YOU?
 
1:46 PM
Teeheehee.
 
@OrigamiRobot The world was spinning. It was hard to tell.
 
FAE
@badp DLT is Download Time?
 
ALSO, I THINK WE SHOULD CALL @Sterno's NEW SON @GnomeSlice++
 
yeah
 
1:47 PM
HOW DID YOU BOTH REMOVE HIM?
 
One of the numbers at the top is your dl speed
 
@Sterno Race Condition.
 
@Powerlord I love you.
2
 
FAE
Oooh I see
 
@FEichinger Bad coding!
 
1:47 PM
@Wipqozn @FAE would ship it. I bet.
 
@OrigamiRobot I would be fine with this.
 
That's so you can adjust by download times
 
@OrigamiRobot I thought we'd decided on Sternew
 
@FEichinger Time to pull out Twilight's Ship Folder?
 
($0.14 cards you can get right now are better than $0.20 cards for a game you need to download for 8 hours first)
 
1:48 PM
DID WE? I WAS NOT PART OF THIS DECISION.
ALTERNATE NAME: GOOD@Wipqozn
 
Aug 4 at 19:47, by Origami Robot
Oh, that reminds me. We need a Bridgename for @Sterno's new kid
 
GW FOR SHORT
 
I'm fine with referring to @Sternos new child as @Wipqozn.
3
 
FAE
@badp Point, though my dl speed just turned all these values to 0:00. o_O
 
@Powerlord Ow.
 
1:49 PM
@KevinvanderVelden YES, I REMEMBER SAYING THIS AND NOTHING COMING OF IT
 
@FAE Did you actually put in the download sizes? :P
It's the D/L column
 
@OrigamiRobot you want to name his kid the abbreviation for gone wild ಠ_ಠ
 
@KevinvanderVelden Shhhhh.
 
Although you're in the Netherlands so it probably doesn't matter anyway
 
FAE
@badp I still only have the games you put in, the highest of which is 382MB, so that's not very long for me to dl
 
1:50 PM
@OrigamiRobot My suggestion got 5 stars, I think that means it is legally binding.
 
/r/WipqoznGW
2
 
@FAE Well that's because I'd just downloaded Sniper Elite v2 which was 6 GB
 
@fredley now I want to make that and just post turtles there constantly
 
@KevinvanderVelden Reddit allows this
 
@KevinvanderVelden IF YOU WANNA GET TECHNICAL ABOUT IT, WE CAN MAKE ANYTHING INTO AN ABBREVIATION.
@KevinvanderVelden WHAT SUGGESTION?
 
1:52 PM
@badp Ooh that reminds me! I need to decide, if I want 90MB/s or 180MB/s at my new place
@OrigamiRobot Sternew
 
I still think we should call @StrixVaria's child @LittleOmega.
 
@KevinvanderVelden My hitlerometer just buzzed.
 
@badp yes, is it worth the 10 extra euros per month is the question
 
@Wipqozn I expect a de-ownering and/or kicking for this.
 
@KevinvanderVelden I can't hear you over the sound of buzzing
 
FAE
1:53 PM
@badp So Game and D/L are the only ones I have to change by hand, right?
 
yeah, and amount of cards >__>
 
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING ANYMORE SO I'M GOING BACK TO WORK
BE BACK IN 5 MINUTES WHEN I GET BORED OF IT
 
but that's not very useful
 
FAE
@badp How'd you figure out which games were the most profitable for you to monitor?
@KevinvanderVelden Ziggo I assume?
 
@FAE monitor?
 
FAE
1:56 PM
@badp The ones you choose to put in Sheet 1.
 
@FAE yeah, over cable. No fiber unfortunately :(
 
@FAE Oh. Those are all of the games I have drops for
 
KPN offers 80 but it's more expensive
 
If you want to only start with a few just look at your badge page on Steam and look for games you kinda want to play, are new and have drops remaining
Games that haven't gone on sale have the most valuable cards.
 
@Frank It was a kicking.
 
FAE
1:58 PM
@KevinvanderVelden We have the 180Mbps package and they've upped it 60Mbps over the past couple years for free. We started at 120Mbps and the price hasn't gone up, but the upgrades were free.
 
@KevinvanderVelden btw: if there's a bump in upload speed, yes, otherwise no.
 
@badp they're both 10:1 down/up
 
so the upload speed does double?
 
2:00 PM
Jup, up to 18Mb/s
 
@Wipqozn Called it!
 
then go for it and upload stuff to YouTube all day! :P
 
FAE
@KevinvanderVelden Realistically, you don't often soak the dl with normal things with speeds that high, but Valve servers will, and we also have usenet, so that will as well. Also, it's nice for us because we're a 2 person household, so that means we can both be downloading/streaming stuff at once without any interference. I don't know if you're going to have a roommate or not on the same line.
 
yeah, I've lived the Netherlands internet dream for six months and, besides downloading games from Steam at 14 megabytes/s or uploading stuff to YouTube, it's not very different from regular internets
@PrivatePansy I wish I were a regular user right now
 
2:02 PM
@badp I'm aware =p - Though it has made it so that I don't even bother to leech stuff at LAN parties
@PrivatePansy CC @Wipqozn
 
Somebody starred that picture; it probably was Wipqozn.
 
@badp Has to be. Even small horses makes better puns than him.
 
FAE
@badp Thanks for getting me a working copy of your spreadsheet and explaining it, btw, it's muchly appreciated. :)
 
but someone else had to just play with his ownership and now I don't get to punish him for his evil deeds
THANKS OBAMA
@FAE np; it's still kind of a PITA right now anyway
unfortunately information about what card drops are left for people to collect is private, so it's hard for me to make something a little more comfrotable

Q: Why does one of my floors have lights around it?

Ashley NunnI noticed when I started my game today that one of my floors has lights all around it (like marquee lights or something). What does this mean? What are they for?

 
2:04 PM
anything that'd pull that information for you would have to log in on Steam as you, essentially
 
FAE
right
 
This tag doesn't make sense
@badp Doesn't Steam have an auth'd API for that?
 
@PrivatePansy I don't believe this information is exposed in any API
the only thing I've seen that works on this data is Enhanced Steam, and it just scrapes the badge page.
ES does sort by value of drops, but it does so by total value of drops
3 hours ago, by badp
user image
 
@PrivatePansy What the shit tag. Rollback that stuff.
 
2:07 PM
@Powerlord turns out it's not actually all that bad. Only 6 lines in Java compared to 4 or so in C++.
 
so even if Awesomenauts drops are almost worthless (look at the green bars), they come up fairly high by total value (look at the blue bars) because there's 7 of them
and way higher than Tiny Barbarian, which instead has way better cards.
 
Specifically there's a GetPlayerItems API call
 
@PrivatePansy Card drops aren't items
 
@PrivatePansy But how does that help in getting to know what cards are still available?
 
Ah, of course
 
2:09 PM
GetPlayerItems, afaik, gets information about what cards you do have, not what cards you can get
 
@badp Yeah, true
 
hence this kind of ghetto approach
to be honest I could just file a simple feature request for Enhanced Steam
 
@badp Hmm, I can't view the Steam API list from work, but does the information about a game include which cards it supports has?

Q: Does attack speed modify the animation speed for priests on TERA?

I have recently seen a video of a sorcerer with 24% attack speed landing his attacks faster than when he had 0% attack speed. I wondered if the same goes for healers?

Holy bounty batman.

@Arperum We have a lot of relatively big bounties recently.
 
user15026
@powerlord I should really pick up a copy of that.
 
@AshleyNunn I thought you were out of town or something this weekend.
Or was that someone else.
Oh wait, no, that was Anna
She didn't preorder it because she's going to be at PAX.
 
user15026
Well, the names start with the same letter? :p
 
2:22 PM
And there are n's in both of them!
And uuh, your last name also has 4 letters
 
@Powerlord maybe you can find it but I can't
I would expect it to come up under categories, but it doesn't.
 
@KevinvanderVelden True, but considering Anna's name is Anna Marie Privitere, @AshleyNunn's last name being 4 letters doesn't matter.

Q: Changing Ps3 Skyrim Saves to PC

JonnyI want to continue my PS3 game on my new PC, not mod it. I have used a decryptor tool, but cannot then load and play the saves. anyone help? thanks :)

@Powerlord details
 
2:24 PM
If she wasn't already a public figure more or less, I probably wouldn't have mentioned her full name
 
@Powerlord well her full name is also on twitter apparently =p
 
@KevinvanderVelden Well, yeah.
 
Good morning, Bridge :)
 
Morning Wacko
 
@SaintWacko Morning Warner.
@KevinvanderVelden It also occurs to me that I've known Anna Marie so long that her last name has changed twice during the time I've known her.

@badp are you a judge?
 
@MattЭллен No.
 
I do find it amusing that her husband still has a tendency to refer to her by her old last name when they do RPGCast.
 
@badp then you might have problems.
 
2:28 PM
@MattЭллен Can I ban their speakers?
 
@badp just get a good banhammer
 
@badp possibly.
 
@KevinvanderVelden Heh
 
They've switched to unintelligible garbage
Garbage is a music genre right?
 
> Bud GUID is only globally unique. Doesn't cut it for the galaxy simulator.
 
2:30 PM
@Powerlord How do you know that the G stands for globally instead of galactically?
 
@MBraedley Because GUID is a well known acronym.
 
@Powerlord UUID pls
 
@Powerlord I was joking, I know what GUID stands for
 
(Incidentally, I was also quoting someone else, not myself)
 
@badp Garage
 
2:32 PM
@badp The older you get, the more all the new music sounds like garbage.
 
@JasonBerkan *garage
 
@StrixVaria This is a good thing.
 
@fredley Music that sounds like my garage? Mostly silent, but squeaky when the door opens?
 
@StrixVaria It sounds like basically "We wanted more people playing games, we succeeded so now we're going back to what we were doing before."
 
2:35 PM
@RonanForman It's wishywashy but I like the idea of them targeting hardcore gamers again so I'll take it.
 
UK garage (also known as UKG) is a genre of electronic music originating from England in the early 1990s. The genre usually features a distinctive syncopated 4/4 percussive rhythm with 'shuffling' hi-hats and beat-skipping kick drums. It combines four-on-the-floor rhythms with breakbeats. Garage tracks also commonly feature 'chopped up' and time-shifted or pitch-shifted vocal samples complementing the underlying rhythmic structure at a tempo usually around 130 BPM. UK garage was largely subsumed into other styles of music and production in the mid-2000s, including dubstep, bassline and grime. The...
 
Yeah, I know it makes me sound like an old man, but electronic music is awful.

@StrixVaria I'm wondering if there was a mistranslation there, because "pathetic" seems like a really strong word for a Japanese CEO to use for a large base of its current customers.
 
@KevinvanderVelden Until I hovered over your message, I assumed you were referring to my electronic music message. And don't dis Vic.
 
@JasonBerkan electronic music is also the worst

Why did Abby become a hairboat?
 
Ah well. Back to reminding the #GamingGate Twitter crowd to stop caring about Quinn and Sarkewhatever and concentrate on burning down Gawker Media to the ground (and also the Fine Young Capitalists give-women-a-chance-in-game-design fundraiser). ;)
 
@fredley Why not?

@MartinSojka We have managed to largely avoid the subject in here for a week. I'd like to keep it that way.

@FEichinger I'd still like to remind people about the fundraiser though. That is important.
 
WE SHOULD HAVE HEEDED THE WISDOM OF THE ANCIENTS
 
@TimStone I NEVER CLAIMED OTHERWISE
 
2:53 PM
@MartinSojka Definitely is. But the surrounding discussion doesn't do well in a room that has huge problems with the smallest of issues already.
 
@MartinSojka why are we burning gawker media to the ground?
 
@KevinvanderVelden because gawker is awful
 
@fredley well yes, but why are we burning it to the ground this week?
@TimStone I listened!
 
@KevinvanderVelden Because that should've been done years ago.
 
@KevinvanderVelden Because we should have done it years ago already, and it's finally time. Nothing good will ever come out of them.
