Dear job sites, you don't need to email me telling me I applied to a job. I know I did. I just did it.
 
@AshleyNunn i think it's more of a confirmation that they received it.
 
user15026
@Rapitor Oh, I know, it just means my phone makes the Zelda "you found a thing" noise a lot :P
 
@AshleyNunn btw i got an email from se about the late swag, thanks for whatever you did earlier :D
 
and (in my case of job searching) promptly sent to the pile of "never look at"
 
@AshleyNunn that is an excellent ringtone
 
7:11 PM
@AshleyNunn hehe, mine is tatl's "ding ding DING"

Q: Where can I find a gun as quickly as possible?

LessPop_MoreFizzI was told this game has guns. But I've been playing for hours and seen absolutely no sign of one. Where can I acquire a gun for what I had hoped to make into my badass new Wizard With A Shotgun?

7:12 PM
and in true Canadian style, if you call me, it's the Hockey Night in Canada song
 
user15026
The good one.
 
Is that canadian law or something?
 
probably
 
user15026
It's the only way I get to hear it anymore! grumbles
 
I should do another shadow run probably
That game was fun as hell
 
7:14 PM
You should not do that and play Pillars of Eternity instead
 
no
I should not play Pillars of Eternity instead
 
@Unionhawk For once, a dutchman has proposed an optimal solution. You should heed his advice.

I'm gonna cry, @AshleyNunn hates us.

Q: Is the Disappointer good for anything?

LessPop_MoreFizzThe Disappointer is a Very Bad Gun: I mean, it even has a special property of Terrible; -8 accuracy and damage reduced by a third is, in fact, very very bad. Is the gun actually useful for anything other than being a gun that you can get right away?

Q: Games like Europa Universalis IV (with decent grapchis please)

Captain_ShepardSo anyways I love this games so much it offers everything. So I'm looking for a similar game but ** not from Paradox Interactive** because I've played most of their games already. I like the fact that there is war+country management, so pure management/city-building is not the genre I'm looking f...

 
yay, slack got owned
 
@Lazers I wonder how many people will click through to The Wizards Shotgun
 
Holy shit this run is super fun to watch
Shadow of Mordor for SGDQ
 
7:22 PM
@badp ?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz i sorta feel like you are farming xp with those two disappointer self answers :p
 
@MattGiltaji The "How Do I Find The Disappointer" one is because I've seen it asked like 15 times in the SA thread so far.
And then the "What the hell is this thing good for" is a perfectly natural extension thereof.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz yeah i wish i knew i could sell all the crap beginning loot to that merchant before everyone died
 
@MattGiltaji All the good stuff you can sell doesn't show up until he becomes unavailiable.
 
user15026
7:25 PM
@badp Oh shit :P
 
Realistically, you're selling him maybe one weapon or piece of armor, and a wolf pelt.
And the Disappointer.
 
ya i always hoard stuff in rpgs
i had like 20 sets of leather armor before i started selling it

Q: How to make Crestfallen Saulden not hostile towards me?

NikkoSo i attacked him, and now he won't let me join his conventant, because hes attacking me every time any way to make him stop. he even attacked me while i was near the majula bonfire.

 
@AshleyNunn why the :P?
 
user15026
@badp It was supposed to be a :( but my fingers wandered
 
7:30 PM
meanwhile I just attempted to buy a game I had already purchased
 
What's the name of that one game where you play as the dead detective who is trying to figure out who murdered him?
 
luckily it happened on the very same site where I did originally buy it
 
@badp Good job btw
 
@Powerlord More than a week passed from when I bought it on offer and when I could get back to punch in the steam code.
That's my defense
My not so great defense in a time when Inbox exists.
 
@Powerlord Murdered: Soul Suspect?
Murdered: Soul Suspect is an adventure stealth video game developed by Airtight Games and published in 2014 by Square Enix for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. == Gameplay == Murdered: Soul Suspect takes place in a fictionalized version of the American town Salem. The game is played in a third-person view. The player navigates the protagonist, Ronan, around Salem. There are multiple areas in Salem to explore such as a church, an apartment and a graveyard. The player completes levels to progress further into the game. There are over 400 collectables in the...

@Yuuki Yeah, I remembered the name of it before you replied. Whoops, should have said something.

Q: Can I change my Palico's name?

RapitorRecently after collecting some more palicoes I decided to give them some unique names instead of just hiring "as-is", but to my dismay the name I had for it (Dr. Whiskers) was truncated to just Dr. Whiske. Is there any way I can rename them to something more... better?

 
7:51 PM
@Lazers Palico Domingo?
 
@Powerlord wat
 
cc @Jin
 
@Frank Do I look like an arsonist?
 
@Powerlord Yes.
 
@Frank changes disguises How about now?
 
7:53 PM
@Powerlord Nope. But I don't need an arsonist anymore.
 
Actually, in TF2, Pyro is quickly becoming my second most-played class.
Once I get enough points, I'm tempted to get the Arsonist skin/pack in Town of Salem.
 
user15026
@Frank Hug-gunned.
 
@AshleyNunn Woo!
Really need to get you an actual hug gun.
Or maybe package up the model and send it your way.
 
user15026
@Frank wonders what that would entail
 
@AshleyNunn Sorry, I don't have access to an actual rocket launcher.
 
7:56 PM
@Frank i didn't know canadian mail allowed you to send fire arms
 
But I could probably mail you a replica!
 
maybe they're ok if you include an apology?
 
Oh lovely, SVNBook is no longer being updated.
er... Version Control with Subversion that is.
 
@MattGiltaji "Sorry for sending milspec hardware. Please deliver promptly?"
 
@Frank needs more "eh"
 
user15026
7:57 PM
@Frank aww boo there goes that plan
 
@Powerlord all the cool kids are on git or mercurial now
 
@MattGiltaji Well yeah.
Still, SVN itself is still being updated.
It's just that the latest "nightly" version of the SVN Book is older than 1.8's final release... in June 2013.
 
@Powerlord :/
 
Woo! Three of my five questions on Scale Modelling are at 10 votes!
 
@Frank if you are trying to plug your proposal, please include a link :D
 
8:06 PM
@MattGiltaji You already joined it!
 
@Frank but others haven't
 
@MattGiltaji I've plugged it here in the Bridge quite a bit already.
All the people that would join, have already.
 
(Because I guarantee that's a Kickstarter "Design an Item!" Reward because... lol.)
 
Because why not, indeed =p
 
Okay, Bridge, you're not allowed to let me become stressed this weekend. This is a stress free weekend! Nobody is allowed to be stressed this weekend, especially me.
 
8:18 PM
@MBraedley sounds like beer is in order
 
@Rapitor Actually rum, and already on it.
 
@MBraedley buy pillars of eternity. Start playing. When you stop it will be Monday and stress will be over.
 
even better
 
Can second @LessPop_MoreFizz
 
Yeah, 50 hour weeks suck, but it could have easily been a 60 hour week.
 
8:19 PM
PoE ftw
 
@MBraedley rum is always a good call
 
Bah, an item that was removed from the Steam Workshop is our number one choice for game night.
 
@Frank I've seen that bug reported on the main meta
 
Iiiiiiiiiiit's PoEEEEE TIIIIMMEMEEEEE
 
8:29 PM
@fredley pillars time best time
 
so pillars, very time

A: Flag dialogs for grayed-out posts are also grayed-out

Jason CIn its current state it is very hard to use. In addition to the screenshot I gave in a comment earlier, I ran into this just now (Chrome on Ubuntu): Earlier example was (Chrome on Windows): Workaround is to move the flag dialog to somewhere that makes it visible.

 
@murgatroid99 Yeah, I reported it to @Jin last time he was here, too.
 
The 'minor style update' is a hot mess
 
6
A: Minor design updates

MBraedleyFlag box seems to inherit transparency from parent post, and has bad z-order when that post is greyed out: This doesn't seem to effect regular posts, just those that have hit the downvote/negative score threshold.

 
8:37 PM
@fredley GOOD CALL. I need to find a Really Good Blunderbuss already, goddamnit.
 
Ugh, Maerwald is giving me difficulty
 
@Lazers ... facepalm
@fredley it's tricky, I had one of my peoples die and ragequit the first time
 
@fredley worse than bear?
 
The second time was "Oh, he's dead already?"
 
8:43 PM
i seem to keep getting my ass kicked and would like to ask a question about party tactics on the main site, but feel it would be too broad
 
@MattGiltaji Yeah
Partly because you have to trek through a load of dialog to trigger the fight
 
@fredley ugh, that always sucks
 
Played Pillars of Eternity for an hour. Tried to save my game and it crashed. :(
 
some crash workarounds
 
8:48 PM
@MattGiltaji Get as many party members as you can in the beginning, it gets a lot easier if you have more people in your party
 
@MadScientist hmm, i need more cp then
 
By far the biggest difference for me was using my AoE spells better, that 1st level Flame spell is extremely strong. Just getting my fighter to occupy the enemies and targeting it with the yellow area over friendlies usually hits all or almost all enemies at once and it deals more damage than anything else I have
 
@fredley is such a party pooper. I think he needs to play Bad Rats.
 
@MattGiltaji cp?
 
8:51 PM
@MadScientist Neat, I have the spell
 
@MadScientist copper pennies or whatever the money is
its abbreviated cp in game
 
@MattGiltaji There are at least four companions to find in the early areas

Most likely

Q: Do you earn less XP per character with a larger party?

Mad ScientistI noticed that the game got significantly easier after I found a few more people to join my party. I'm at five party members now, and just using as many as possible seems like the best option right now. I'm wondering though if there is a drawback to using the maximum number of characters in your...

Q: Skyrim: Is it possible to play with new DLC in an old world?

PlanetAlexanderTo be precise, what I mean is, is it possible to buy the game with no DLC, create a world (and play a fair bit), but then to buy the DLC, install it and play on the same world with the DLC? I don't think you could, but it would be good to have. Also, I am playing on the XBox 360.

 
It's an abandoned ruin, what do you mean "Camping is not allowed in this area"
Got him
yiss
Now to get that slider

cc: @LessPop_MoreFizz
choices choices
 
@fredley i feel that this was already posted and cced to you this morning
 
@MattGiltaji The ringtone version was
I've only just found this guy
 
@fredley Huh, that happens in one of the first areas
 
@MadScientist I missed him first time through
Myabe why the next part was so hard
 
He's directly in front of the Inn
 
9:26 PM
20 hours ago, by LessPop_MoreFizz
user image
wasn't linked to you, my apologies
 
The game was extremely hard at that point until I got Edér
 
@MadScientist I think I managed to go in via the back entrance
@MadScientist Eder helps
 
where is eder?
 
@MattGiltaji At the tree, but you can't get him to join immediately. You'll need to do the part with the animancer at the tree first
 
@MadScientist yeah i missed him entirely then
i picked up the chanter at the other castly thing, then started getting my ass kicked and ran back to the entrance
 
9:29 PM
Having a fighter and then being able to just blast AoE spells into enemies fighting with him is a huge improvement
 
yeah my main is a monk so i'm not good at holding aggro
plus those shades teleport to alroth and wreck him
 
I'm a wizard, and my first companion was a wizard. That didn't work all that well
 
I've added a Level 2 Dwarf Fighter: Grumpy
 
@MadScientist Did that in Baldur's Gate. Rolled a Necro, so you start with Necro + Thief. Your first ally options are a Necro + Thief. Not a very robust party.
 
@JasonBerkan hehe
 
9:31 PM
the priest i made has turned out well so far
 
I'm now two wizards, two fighters, a cipher and a chanter
 
everyone on the forums seems to agree that the attributes on the built in companions make them suck in combat
 
You can get a lot of companions early in this game, it just took me a bit to find them while avoiding most enemies
 
except the chanter has decent stats "by accident"
 
 
9:34 PM
@MadScientist i've also been trying to find info about the party xp, only thing i've seen is an interview with the designer from last april about what they were planning to do, not sure how relevant that info is... and xp is too small for a search term
 
@Blem SOUNDS LEGIT
 
@Blem so much wat
 
 
@Blem lot of gravity in those magnets
 
yea
and with that, nn people
 
9:45 PM
@Blem +1 for jewel staite
 
Hmm... should I use a self-generated dictionary or some sort of fuzzy algorithm?
 
I agree
 
What are we talking about?
 
yesterday, by Yuuki
@Wipqozn I have a sudden urge to write an autocorrect mangler script.
 
9:47 PM
Aaah
Can you blame us for not having a context?
 
No.
 
Ugh, Imoen died
 
Either I use a Markov implementation where some word A can be changed to random word B, C, or D or I use some sort of algorithm that looks for fuzzy matches to A.
Is what I'm thinking.
 
@Yuuki fuzzy matching would be fun
but what seems to be on the funniest ones is when autocorrect splits up the word into wrong parts
a la orgyrambo
 
Maybe try to match the vowel consonant patterns when looking for a new word?
Or assign values based on distance on a keyboard
 
9:51 PM
or do a mapping for a set of particularly funny ones, then fuzzy match everything else
god dammit -> god donut seems to be consistent
 
Not a bad idea
 
@MattGiltaji Yeah, god donut is definitely making it in there.
 
disembarking -> Disembowelling
 
for duck sake
 
@murgatroid99 for duck shake

Q: How do I detect traps?

fredleyOne of my party members just got killed by a trap. Having reloaded, I'd rather not have the same thing happen again. How do I actually detect and disable the traps though?

 
Bridge, I have a question regarding the acceptability of a question I'm considering asking
I ran across this strange red liquid in FTB that behaves like no other liquid, and I can't find any mention of it anywhere on the internet, because I don't know its name
and I can't find out its name if I can't find anything about it
If I had a screenshot of it, sure, I'd ask it, but I don't
so I'm a little iffy
Ask or don't ask?
 
@John FTB as in Feed the beast? most packs contain waila, and that has some option somewhere to show you what liquid you are pointing at.
It's been months since I played, so don't know where to find the option though.
 
10:05 PM
@Blem X-Files was a massive hit that ran for a decade. Firefly was a ratings flop that didn't last a full season. It has a cult following, but the math is... just a little bit different.

A: How can I learn more spells?

LessPop_MoreFizzYou can learn more spells outside of leveling up by looting Grimoires. Once a Wizard acquires a new grimoire, simply place it in their inventory, and Right Click on the grimoire, as you would to see the stats on any other item. Any spells stored in the Grimoire which your Wizard does not know wi...

 
@LessPop_MoreFizz adding screenshots to steal my reps?
:p
 
@MattGiltaji And exact step by step directions about what butan to pres.
 
@Arperum Yes, Feed the Beast, and waila is working for most items, just not this one. Which is another way this liquid defies convention.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz grumble grumble
 
hmmm
 
10:13 PM
@John weird. I'd say: ask your question. (is it maybe blood in a smeltery? but IIRC that has a waila info.
 
@MattGiltaji was it you who liked my fishtank idea?
 
@Arperum I've seen smeltery blood, it looks different to me
 
@djsmiley2k yeah
 
though I have nothing that says it isn't, definitively...
 
bloodmagic lifeforce or whatever it is called? no clue how that looks.
 
10:14 PM
i'm terrible at those embedded types of things that people use rasberry pis for
 
And we go live! http://t.co/zg7uxaQPTv
Dawwww, it doesn't show the pic
 
@Arperum The wiki for that says it's pinkish, so it could be it, I guess, if that sets stuff on fire on contact
 
@djsmiley2k nice, does it cycle the colors or just leaves them static?
 
@John would liquid iron do that?
 
@MattGiltaji cycles, does all sorts of different effects, plus I can program my own.
knightrider effect looks cool ;)
 
10:16 PM
@djsmiley2k Why torture the fish with such flashy lights?
 
@Arperum Hm, I haven't encountered liquid iron outside of a smeltery, and I know a smeltery would do that. I thought you could pick up buckets of iron, though
 
@Arperum the lights are really slow changing, and fish don't see any way near the ways we do, they only really see black/white light/dark
As long as it's not strobing on/off they don't care.
 
@John I'm just guessing though. Haven't played minecraft in months.
 
@Arperum Well it's as good as any guesses I've had
 
@djsmiley2k that is really cool. how do you program them? is there an RGB value you set each light to or something?
 
10:18 PM
plus the plan is it'll be slowly changing throughout the day to simulate the sun moving
@MattGiltaji yup, using something called hyperion atm.
right, gotta go to bed and get my body clock ready for new job on monday D:
 
DEEP FRIED GIRL SCOUT COOKIES ARE HAPPENING

@Fluttershy You just....google "happening gif" or something?
You just took all the magic out of reaction gifs.
 
@John Pretty much, yep.
 
@John Ron Paul It's Happening gif is a stock part of the repertoire. Why would anyone not have it bookmarked and ready to go?

I think I'm going to take my PS4 back
 
@GnomeSlice bored already?
 
I can't really afford it
Plus PSN+
 
Play offline
 
Which apparently you need for multiplayer now
Plus games are expensive
 
it's ridiculous that you have to pay for multiplayer on consoles
 
10:49 PM
Plus I'm not sure i really want to split up my game library again
I should probably just stick with PC...
 
@GnomeSlice you can't really avoid that with a console
 
@GnomeSlice i vote that you take it back, provided you chat while riding the bus to do so
 
Hilarious
I'm actually pretty bummed
 
top gear stuff still or something else?
 
@Lazers RTFM
 
10:53 PM
@MattGiltaji reality hit him hard when he realized how expensive it is to own a PS4
 
Yeah and that splitting up games library means I won't have access to all of them from everywhere
And yeah money
 
yeah not having money sucks
 
@Wipqozn you're ahead of me. I'm busy being murdered by a giant rat in the sewer
 
especially when there is a damn good sale going on but you can't take advantage of it and have to wait for it to repeat or pay full price later
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz So you're saying I should read a book? Or you are?
 
10:56 PM
I'm saying you should play Pillars of Eternity.
 
Was there any doubt about that, though?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz So the Reddit CEO lady lost her lawsuit.
 
@Yuuki the one with all the crazy sexism?
 
@Yuuki Reddit CEO was in a lawsuit?
 
@MattGiltaji Yeah.
 
10:59 PM
@John with a VC firm that she said pressured her out with sexist attitudes
and pay discrimination, etc
 
@MattGiltaji That sounds...flimsy
 
@John It apparently was, considering she lost the case.
 
@John It seems like the jury agreed
 
@Yuuki There's still one point left, I think.
Whether the company fired her in revenge for filing the lawsuit.
 
@Frank That... might actually succeed?
 
11:02 PM
@Yuuki Which will still be worth several million dollars, all on it's own.
 
The jury also couldn't count, so there's that.
 
@TimStone Juries are always so comforting that way.
