@Powerlord That link works for me as is
@murgatroid99 @Batophobia ....you guys did catch the part where I said my work firewall was blocking it, right?
Anyway, I should go file a bug on Meta.SE to mention that they're always redirecting to http even if the original protocol was https.
@Powerlord I was mentioning that the https links for SE were not redirecting to http for me
Yeesh, I don't know how many of you are car folk, but only 6 Ferrari Sergios will be made
Though I do have a Firefox addon that might be why
HTTPS Everywhere is a free web browser extension for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Opera, a collaboration by The Tor Project and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Its purpose is to automatically make websites use the more secure HTTPS connection instead of HTTP. == Development == HTTPS Everywhere was inspired by Google's increased use of HTTPS, and is designed to make HTTPS less difficult to use. The code in part is based on NoScript's HTTP Strict Transport Security implementation, but HTTPS Everywhere is intended to be simpler to use than NoScript. The EFF provides information for users...
@Powerlord I thought SE didn't support https yet
20:14
Great. Blizzard is having a super busy day. I am not going to be playing hardcore on a server that takes 7 minutes to log in. That will have latency issues.
@murgatroid99 It does... but the meta sites aren't included in the general certificate.
Damn you always online! Stopping me from playing my singleplayer game.
@Arperum Aren't we still in the "we reactivated all the old subscribers accounts" or are you talking about not-WoW?
@Arperum And from adding mods that would make the game better!
@Powerlord Fuck WoW. Never played it, not going to either. Talking about D3
20:17
@Arperum Oh, well... here's a knife.
Now, go stab them
@Frank Yes. Remember back in the day the Nezeramontias mod for D2.
@Arperum I don't remember that one. I do remember getting one that let you craft runes all the way up to zod.
@Arperum If you were playing D2 on battle.net, it was not a single player game, unless you made a character in single player, which could not be played on battle.net
@Chippies The thing is, though, that players had the option.
that arguments is getting brought up a lot, but D2 was not a single player game, if you wanted to play it online
20:19
Now it's online only, because fuck you, that's why.
@Frank Nezeramontias added "souls", who were worn like rings, could be used to upgrade some item that was completely worthless, but got worth something once you pumpoed enough souls in it. these souls gave you something from the monster they dropped from. Fallen souls allowed you to turn into a fallen and use that little shout they did.
@Chippies I played mods online, sure, not battlenet, but I don't care.
There were ways you could play as one of the bosses. These were more then just their soul though.
also, couple more skills per class, max lvl 750 IIRC. other new stuff.
loads of fun.
@Arperum And to think, we could do something like this for D3.
If Bliz ever released their death grip on control.
So I just defeated Master Hand by Pocketing his finger gun missiles and throwing them back at him.
Villager is seriously an evil, evil soulless child.

So apparently the video I'm remembering was only a script
@Unionhawk ACTUAL CANNIBAL SHIA LABEOUF
HI GUYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
20:23
@spugsley o/
Or that other mod I always forget the name of, that basically said "singleplayer= bad, play multiplayer with this, you'll need it." And that had this one cave in act 2 redesign to be all about defense, everything in there was or immortal. If you didn't pay attention, you'd have an invincible duriel on your neck while trying to navigate a room with invisible walls while elemental stuff rained down on you all the time.
Or was that also nezeramontias?
gah. I don't know anymore.
Document writing (mostly) finished! And only 10 or so hours over budget!
and with that, I'm calling it a day.
I just accepted a system update and rebooted my phone from my watch.
@murgatroid99 Oh I'm sure it does. I just find it odd it exists since it should be covered by Writing.SE. If WRiters wasn't in beta it wouldn't seem as odd, but since writers is in beta, it just seems strange,.
No, wait, it was just a watch system update
@Wipqozn Have you looked at the questions there? Most of them don't seem like they would fit at Writers
It's all hypotheticals about fictional worlds, not questions about writing
Or hypotheticals about the real world
@Wipqozn I don't actually think any of the questions on worldbuilding would be on topic on writers
20:32
@murgatroid99 No, I was basing it on the sites description:
> Worldbuilding Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for writers/artists using science, geography and culture to construct imaginary worlds and settings. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Worldbuilding.SE FAQ #1: STOP MAKING PLANETS THAT ARE ALL <X>.
All Ice. All Forest. All City. sigh
@Wipqozn But if you compare the questions on worldbuilding to the on topic help thing on writers, they don't match at all
It's a difference in what is emphasized
@spugsley The struggle is real right now
@murgatroid99 Some of the questions look like they would fit on writers, there are others which don't (The "What if?" questions)
@Wipqozn I read the ones I see in the hot list, and all of the ones I see are the "What if?" type. And none of those would be on topic on Writers
Anyway, sites don't need to have disjoint topics
20:37
Yes they do, obv
@murgatroid99 No, they don't. I just find it odd that a site which appeared to be a subset of an unsuccessful beta was made into a meta.
@Unionhawk There are several sites whose questions would fit in some combination of SO, SU, and SF
Anyways, I was really just making an observation. Just thought it was odd.
@murgatroid99 I think @Unionhawk was being sarcastic.
Oct 21 at 5:18, by Unionhawk
(obv is my /sarcasm)
@Unionhawk If you're the only person who uses a term, people aren't going to understand it
20:39
shrug
@murgatroid99 The reason I found the apparent splitting odd is because it's happening between betas.
@JasonBerkan TELL THAT TO EUROPA!
@Wipqozn That almost makes more sense to me. That's the best way to see which topic can actually get off the ground
PLATE TECTONICS MADE OF ICE, ON TOP OF ICE, ON TOP OF WATER
@murgatroid99 Yeah, I can understand that POV.
20:40
ALSO, I DON'T HAVE AUTOCAD, terribly sorry, not sure how caps got triggered
@Wipqozn There used to be separate sites for Poker, MTG (I think), and Chess, but they were all merged into BCG when that site was clearly more active
@Unionhawk bahahahahahaha
relatively
@murgatroid99 Poker.SE still exists. It gets 0.2 questions a day.
GET. OUT. OF. MY. HEAD.
20:41
@Wipqozn So does Chess, now that I look
But something got merged in when it was still beta
@Sconibulus Obviously such things exist in the universe. I just feel that the entire planet is <x> is overused at this point, especially in the Star Wars universe.
There was an MTG proposal, but I don't know if it ever hit beta
TIL /r/GetStudying is a thing. that seems at least slightly counterproductive to me. (only slightly in the sense that you have to get to reddit to find it yes I understand why it could be a thing)
@murgatroid99 I didn't realize Chess even got off the ground.

Higher Evolved Relationships

Proposed Q&A site for discussing how much sway it takes for your cherished one to destroy the foundations. The role of money, promise of influence, social hierarchy are of interest. We encourage you to share the character debilitating tactics that were used.

Currently in definition.

I don't even...
20:47
@Wipqozn Yeah, I see questions about it in the hot list every once in a while. And it gets half as many questions per day as all of BCG
@Frank wat
@Frank ...What the fuck?
@SaintWacko I wish I knew.
@Frank I'm still trying to parse that first sentence
I...think it's about relationship trolling. Or maybe just a disguised pick up artist proposal. — fbueckert 1 min ago
That's about all I managed to peel out of it.
@Frank I kind of want to raise a modflag on that just as just "what the hell"
20:48
@Frank ...
I feel like the world would be better off without the author of that
@Unionhawk Please do
@SaintWacko I would reserve that judgement until we understand what they're actually trying to say
@murgatroid99 I suppose there's still some doubt
I have a faint suspicion that this is actually about people whose relationships were destroyed by the other person (mostly due to talking about someone "destroying the foundations" in the third person)
Meh, worst case I get a declined flag on A51
And declined flags don't matter
20:50
Watches @Uni get banned from A51 for a declined flag
@murgatroid99 Oh, you think it's more someone bitter about a destroyed relationship?
Hm, could be
Alright, I'll reserve judgement, then
@Frank Even better
@SaintWacko It's hard to tell, but I don't think it's clear enough to rule that out
I read it more as a "give me advice to destroy relationships"
@murgatroid99 Yeah, you're right
@Frank waits for meta drama because banned for declined flag
@SaintWacko The reason I think it might not be that is because of the use of third person and past tense throughout the description.
I put a more descriptive thing than just "what the hell" - that'd rightfully get declined right away I'd imagine.
@Unionhawk Unclear proposal
Meh
I feel like the text wouldn't matter too much
Wow, that was a lot of low quality posts in a row that actually were low quality.
...
20 FOOT POLE STATUS [ ] TOUCHING THAT [x] NOT TOUCHING THAT
@Unionhawk It's a news article from the New Yorker and 100% SFW.
It's also super gross.
@LessPop_MoreFizz This week in "Things that surprise no one"
SFW is not my concern, I'm just not touching it.
> “Naturally, accusations of misogyny are thrown around, but as evidenced by the presence of women, of which there are a few, it is a diverse group.” Hans paused, then winked. “By the way, table dances are $10 and lap dances are $75, if you’re interested. May I recommend Ms. Rain?”

Q: Working on Past Lifes

JamesIn Fantasy Life your job is referred to as your Life. You can swap between them at will by visiting the guild master and asking to change but he mentions that your skills from past lives will not level as fast as they would if they were your current life. How much slower is what I am wondering as...

@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh no, someone went to a strip club
@LessPop_MoreFizz Lots of people go to strip clubs
> Sarah had initially been worried about showing up because even she, an 8chan fan, had the idea that most 8channers were misogynistic creeps. But so far, she’d found everyone “super, super nice.”
This is precisely why I'm not touching that and going forward, am not going to touch the topic of touching it.
@DwarfSlice Yes. The article is about more than that.
20:57
I was just replying to your clickbait
@murgatroid99 I'm glad to see that you're still aggressively missing the point. I'll spare you the hour of back and forth though, I have things to go do at the moment.
@LessPop_MoreFizz You just linked to a fucking 17 paragraph article with a title emphasizing the strip club
I don't know what point you're trying to make
> By the end of the night, the dancers had largely given up on the prospect of enticing them with a lap dance, simply bypassing them on their rounds. Two guys’ laps were preoccupied anyway with the laptops they had brought into the club, which apparently had free Wi-Fi.
<3 Hide posts
@murgatroid99 Yes. Yes I did. And the 17 paragraph article was an in-depth profile of the people who attended the party. That was at a Strip Club.
20:59
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's such a misleading clickbait title...
But like I said, I'm out of here.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm confused, is 'social justice warriors' actually a thing gamergate has been calling people who they don't like?
that's like calling people you don't like 'good people' isn't it
@DwarfSlice The term is sarcastic
Wow
The last paragraph
@DwarfSlice Yes, that is a very common term there

Q: Can I ask to be invited into an invite only group?

OreoI am new to steam and I want to join my friends group, except that it is invite only. Is there any way to request to be in an invite only group.

what does this have to do with journalism
what in the fuck
@Unionhawk Fine, fine, go to Elpis
@murgatroid99 Yes most of the graphs except the one I linked are pointless
21:04
@TimStone I WILL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH (I am saddened that Tina had nothing to say about Poop Deck, potential spoilers)
@badp This is from a different article that calls newsweek's methodology into question
@Lazers uhm... Is it just me or would that kind of be against the point of an invite only group?
I don't know why they even bothered publishing them
The one I just linked
@murgatroid99 Newsweek also posted that graph.
21:04
@badp Oh, you're right
Like not even "hehe, dat's a funny name" again
Well, the article I linked was the actual point
@Unionhawk :(
Even still, it's the best thing ever.
@Arperum It's a bot
21:07
He knows, linking replies is a way to comment on a question without commenting on it
Also the whole analysis that's been posted seems to normalize away the matter of the amount of tweets
@Brian How do you know?
which, um, is kind of the bigger point and why I dismissed the graph that normalized that bit away as useless
nope, they're not done. Okay.
21:09
@badp I don't know, a lot of that analysis I linked to seems to take absolute numbers into account

Q: How much time can I expect to spend installing the STEP Skyrim mods?

martI don't like timesinks, but I do like Skyrim, or I used to like it until the gameplay felt really repetitive. So I'm thinking of installing this bunch of Mods curated by the STEP project. Mostly because from skimming the list, most seem to go into a direction I might like (more immersion etc.) an...

@murgatroid99 Yes but it speaks about expected number of tweets, which has to be a matter of proportion of the total.
@Unionhawk @TimStone HOW MUCH BORDERLANDS ARE WE PLAYING TONIGHT?
21:15
I dunno, I'm all behind you guys now and stuff
ALL OF THE BORDERLANDS IS MY PLAN
SUCH SHAME
SUCH SHAME, VERY CIVILIZATION
WOW
@TimStone What level are you?
I am only 35
Uhh whatever I was the other day
Oh
21:15
You were like 33 before or something
That's not so bad then
As is Uni, IIRC
Yeah, I think I'm 34
> So, how long did it take you to install all these Mods with following the instructions given?
21:16
It didn't store the turnin of that one quest when I crashed, but I just ran back and turned it in
You can be a cheatyface and edit in that extra level if you want!
and then the bosun respawned when I went back up the elevator, lol
I'm classier than that!
I was like "no, I'm not dealing with you"
We're on the secret room quest now.
I own all the moonstones now.
21:17
Hax or just not spending them?
Not spending them
I guess I have 100
Just from TVHM
I have 100+
I dunno how much grinding will cost
I spent myself down to 0 before on the grinder
It's not cheap
I'm just not grinding anything right now because I will find an upgrade soon after
21:18
Yep
Definitely not moonstone grinding
fack this is good
Gotta remember to download this on my main pc
21:19
And I know I don't have any useful things at the black market to get (who uses assault rifles when you can use FRICKIN LASERS?)
@DwarfSlice NSFW
@OrigamiRobot ?
Started playing Hollow Fragment on my TV on Saturday. Wondered where the day went.
@Unionhawk I have the sniper, the pistol, and the grenades.
What else would I need?
I spent too much but it's fine
21:19
Looks like my playtime is slowly moving into non-portable.
I use lasers shotguns snipers and occasionally rockets
I was thinking of using a SMG but no
I lost all interest in SMGs when I found the pistol skill
Heh.
Claptrap is significantly not focused
At all
Makes sense
afwenfisw
21:21
Bless you
I need to get the new Borderlands
I mean there's some stuff for explosive damage, but he's very generalist
@SaintWacko Don't worry! It'll die down soon enough!
:P
@Unionhawk @TimStone Let's make a pact to lose interest the instant @SaintWacko buys it.
I will not. I'll more likely start afresh on Nisha or Wilhelm
Because claptrap is fun, but I want to try other characters
21:23
Ah, who can forget the opening to Phantasy Star? @vivian_games http://t.co/sH2N7QvWRc
looooooooooooool
I'm lucky I picked the best character the first time.
@OrigamiRobot Claptrap?
I dunno, claptrap has a lot of funny dialogue.
@SaintWacko Nisha
"I forget what came before this UNIT HAS BECOME SELF-AWARE: ERASING PRECEDING MEMORY CHUNK. Now I'm sad all of a sudden. Hooray!"
Nisha is really powerful though
It's hard to argue with that
21:26
Yes, and then she dies.
The end.
Spoiler: It actually happens just like that!
I can clear 90% of a room in 5 seconds and then...
And then showtime runs out, you stop refilling health, and I come in and save your ass :P
It's mostly armored enemies.
Yeah
Those guys are mean
21:27
Or just getting stuck behind a wall for a second.
That can really throw a wrench in my Showdown
I kind of want a good shock weapon to start the damage off and then switch to a corrosive for those guys
Because holy crap
The resistance is so strong against how my weapons are built
I need corrosive and shock.
The snow. It has begun.
I have corrosive and cryo
and a regular shotgun that I want to get rid of and a sniper
which situationally gets swapped for a rocket
Sometimes I am jumping around in Showdown and I just fall down a level. Then it all goes to hell.
I have 3 pistols and a sniper.
21:30
I've found that the best way for me to take down the super badasses is to just jump over their heads over and over
They get so confused and usually don't know what to do
This breaks down for more than one
I never thought I'd say this, but I want all Hyperion pistols.
I think I swapped the crappy shotgun I had for a hyperion
That's how bad its accuracy was

Q: What are the mechanics behind tile acquisition?

Kyle BaranWhat are the mechanics behind tile acquisition? If you go into the details of a city, it outlines one or more hexes with a purple border, which indicates possible tiles that will be acquired the next time the city generates enough culture. However, it is not clear which tiles the game favors,...

It had 20 accuracy
And a Jakobs/Vladof sniper
21:31
That's usually like, 1 pellet will hit
So the effective damage is a ton lower
It's not like Payday shotguns where as long as a pellet hits it gets the full damage scaled only by distance
I'm using that crazy sniper we found
Oh yeah, I forgot about that thing
That was insane
~1500 damage
cc @TimStone
I guess I need to get a better than white sniper, but I know I'll just replace it with a white later
Since inevitably the damage from the random white snipers in vending machines ramps up past what you have
21:34
Think of it this way; I think that's the crit damage of a 500 damage sniper.
I think every kill in showdown gives me 0.8s more time
and my cooldown is 31% lower
That class mod is amazing.
Probably, you can get it up to 1s more time, since it does up to +5 skills
I need to get tons more money
for things
FIghting one big Kraggon is the worst because it takes too long for it to split once it dies.
Big kraggons are the worst
I hate them
I need at least one more thing to kill while I wait for the two babies.
inb4 stars
21:37
It's like 'Oh, let's move on, oh wait, no, kraggons"
@OrigamiRobot cc @spugsley
(it sort of works shh)
I think I'm going to just clear my bank because level 28 is useless to me as far as grinding goes at this point

Q: In PT, what does the white screen of death say?

asteriPT is a free downloadable game for the PlayStation 4. It's a psychological horror game. At some point during the game, an intentional white screen of death is displayed.

OK TIME TO LEAVE AND PLAY
21:41
TIME TO WAIT 2 MINUTES FOR CLASS TO END AAA
AND THEN FOOD
I think that's the first time I've been suspended. Definitely one of the first
Gameplan: Food, borderlands, prepare to relocate, sleep
This is a good plan
@murgatroid99 You got suspended? What for?
@SaintWacko I directed profanity at LessPop. At least, I think that was the only flagworthy part of that message
@murgatroid99 Ah
21:42
That'd do it.
I honestly didn't expect that reaction
With the amount of profanity in general that happens in the Bridge, that seems a rather lackluster reason.
There's a difference between profanity and profanity at someone.
In other news, it looks like Valkyria Chronicles may be coming to PC.
Anybody who's a tactics fan that hasn't played it, should. Really, really should.
@murgatroid99 I've been suspended for similar messages to 'I'm tired of your bullshit' too.
21:50
@DwarfSlice Unfortunately, I didn't know there was such precedent because they are all, by definition, deleted
Well, it doesn't really matter. It was only half an hour and it's done
Apparently, the MPAA doesn't like piracy because they're concerned users are going to download malware.
@Frank bahahaha
@Frank Sometimes someone says something that is such complete bullshit that I don't know how the universe doesn't just collapse
@SaintWacko To be fair, that's a lot more level headed than what they've been going with before.
Not that it isn't totall bullshit, anyways.
It's just the PR machine spinning away.
> We don't like piracy, so we'll keep making up reasons until people believe one
21:57
@murgatroid99 And we'll keep funding astroturfing groups to make it look like we have relevance!
Haaaaaa this is probably pretty accurate.
...If that gets validated, I will be severely disappointed.
@Frank I tried to invalidate it, but it was already gone
New flag?
EVERYONE RELAX
@JoshPetrie is here. :3
user4704
21:58
I invalided it. I think.
user4704
It gave me a weird error so I dunno.
I CAN RELAX! WHY ARE WE RELAXING?
is secretly the error causing invalidator
I AM VERY RELAXED
@JoshPetrie I'm still talking, so I guess.
