Work internet lives (for now)
I see though that you've been hard at work to find a different topic of conversation in the five minutes it took me to get from the metro to the train so…
and then @twobugs very narrowly and very technically inb4s me
@twobugs what happen?
artugh
I don't know. I lost all connectivity for about half an hour
i'm still dying
Speed test says we're back up to 100Mb down
18:06
now we have the classic dehydration headache (hurts if I move)
Dehydration is awful :( Get plenty of liquid and take it easy, man!
I'll wait a week when they decide to change to 'Vote to Close Exchange' which more accurately represents what I see on various sites.
@djsmiley2k Yo dawg, you should play Dark Souls.
@MadMAxJr you mean there are so few closed questions that soon we're going to have to create a stock exchange for them?
Vote to Close Exchange is about wildly guessing what is and isn't on topic. Good luck in playing our game.
18:09
ITG and Gamerec should give us a reliable supply source
The worst version of Guess Who
Those'll sell pretty well
@StrixVaria tried that earlier, didn't go well
also my hands are randomly going numb
@twobugs I am D:
/me checks he has no advertsion to bright lights
@StrixVaria That way you can die while you die!
high fives self
I'm at 11 wins in Arena with a deck I thought I would have trouble going 3 wins. Either I'm really bad at judging decks, or Arena is even more random than I thought
18:20
It's probably both, to be honest
I have trouble coming up with good Arena decks, too
Noooooo.... I left my phone on the bus.
The deck has some good cards like 3 Truesilvers, but it played really awkwardly sometimes because it has too many 3 drops and few 2 drops
Depends on the time of day you play.
Man, gives so me much rep
It's like the questions are born to hit the hotlist
@RonanForman Oh, boy.
18:34
I should have cashed in on that gravy train more
I was hoping MGSV would be my gravy train, but it's only earned me like 100 or so rep total.

Q: What strategy should I use for RM Hills games?

CamelCaseThe following game type is reasonably popular on Gameranger and Voobly: Any civilisation Hill Country map Starting in Stone Age Default starting resource 200 population limit 1v1 It is often stated as "RM Hills" or "RM Hillz" on lobby names. It is common to have reveal map and play at full s...

It works well for me because it's on my phone, so I can check things in game while at work and get screenshots and whatnot
@RonanForman ffffffffffffffff
Is it an Android phone?
I think mgs should last a while, I'm just surprised that fallout shelter is still going strong months later
lock it and make it ring real loud, then call it?
18:41
It would be cool if you could remotely set the ringtone to be SOMEBODY STOLE THIS PHONE AND IS A HUGE JERK
Or other arbitrary strings.
But has anybody stolen the phone?
@twobugs Porn noises mixed with sheep sounds.
I saw a prank video where someone set his friend's windows boot noise to a sound clip like that right before he went to the library. There were some other measures taken to make sure he couldn't quickly mute it either, although I don't remember.
He wound up just pulling the battery out of the back of the laptop in panic to get it to stop.
@Wipqozn I should probably play Banner Saga before I buy another game of the like.
Looks neat, though.
It's a bus that goes between work and town, so it's not like any random person would find it.
18:50
@StrixVaria Yeah, I plan to do bannert saga as well, but I just want to make @Sterno buy another game he won't play.
@StrixVaria This appears to fall more into the rogueliek side of things than banner saga
aka perma death, no story
@RonanForman still do try and localise it
@badp I have.
Good. You don't know if it's still gonna be on tomorrow
Hmmm location unavailable. Odd.
location: on the bus
18:56
@RonanForman Could be in a place without service, or someone found it and turned it off.
@StrixVaria Yeah, who knows.
@RonanForman You're unlikely to get a location unless there's something else actively requesting location, at least from my testing
Every once in a while I think about how shitty it would be to lose a phone or a wallet. If I had to lose one, though, I'd rather lose the phone, every time.
@MBraedley Ah.
@StrixVaria Yup.
Phone is much more expensive to replace than a wallet, but probably less of a hassle
18:58
@StrixVaria I haven't lost my phone, but it did go for a swim this summer, and my stance was "It's just a phone." I can effectively do the same to my current phone as what the Mira River did to my past phone.
@GodEmperorDune Wallet could be more expensive for me to replace, given that my train ticket is $400/month.
Depending on how deep into the month we are.
@RonanForman Although even with the maps app open and showing me my location, Device Manager still can't get the location. Who knows, but I'm also being located by cell and wifi signals, not GPS.
but it could also be because I'm behind the company firewall.
Okay, hopefully the lock thing worked though.
@RonanForman Do you have contact info on your lock-screen?
I put some in with lock thing, but not normally no.
19:03
(Speaking of which, I apparently haven't done that on this phone.)
Cash-strapped CPS spent millions on pizza, subs http://trib.in/1OZowJt http://t.co/gkkgN6GMlK
What's worse is that it wasn't even pizza, because this is Chicago /cc @LessPop_MoreFizz

I'm not good at assigning arbitrary point values to the wrongness of a programming mistake
It turns out
Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It's what makes America great.
Showing varying levels of disappointment is part of my job description!
Why you no onebox?
19:15
It does that sometimes
Retrying seems to fix it
It's basically random whether or not twitter wants to onebox
I'm pretty sure
user15026
@MBraedley That delights me.
@MBraedley inb4 fox calls it "Obama invites terrorist to White House"
> Obama invites Muslim terrorist to White House
FTFY
yeah, much better
19:18
School officials getting called out by the president. Nice.
@TimStone yep, it's been doing that for a while, even in Milan
School officials getting absolutely destroyed by the president, more like
At least he isn't getting charged.
I bet he is getting some great internship offers now
meanwhile in Chrome

Q: Why is my soldier breathing heavily after running?

DrakaSANI have a S rank Combat Female soldier, I don t remember which mission rewarded me with her, but she don t have anything special beyond S rank and a heavy breathing just after a sprint. Is it normal? Is it linked with the virus? Or is it just a random characteristic of that soldier?

@Lazers2.0 Because that's what people do after running
@Unionhawk I am a tab
Stupid phone. It keeps reloading my tabs.
@fredley I was really lost for a bit until I remembered the news about the kid and the clock from earlier today.
19:35
> [process] is not running
Yes it is, you stupid app!
WTF, I changed that config entry
a full chrome restart got me my browser back

Q: How can I see the romance cards I have won in Witcher?

EusebiusI have just begun this game. I get the idea of how to obtain the cards, but is there a way to view all the cards I have won?

user58869
"video games may be a powerful tool to help all of us learn new skills"
@Yuuki That's a long way of saying 'cancelled'
19:43
@user177063 Yes, Alex. Keep interjecting random stuff into the conversation.
@Frank To be fair, I just did that too.
And there really wasn't much of a conversation going on at the moment.
This might be the subtlest popup baloon in the history of world
Why are you using that config file, application? Don't use that config file, that's the wrong config file.
user58869
@Frank there was no conversation taking place at that moment
19:44
@Yuuki You're a chat regular.
@badp It's so subtle, it snuck under your spellcheck radar.
@Yuuki It's so subtle it's literally floating away
@user177063 Looked like a conversation was happening to me.
also I did have a phone number associated with my account but oh well
@fredley it's a rights thing. If it's cancelled, the rights go back to the original people. Postponed indefinitely and the studio gets to hang onto the rights, or something like that

Q: SC2 LOTV : Digital version in physical copy?

Steve GreenI primarily use a mac without a optical drive. I found a good offer for the physical retail copy and I would like to buy this copy. Will it allow me to download the game since I can't use the physical copy with my mac? Apologies if it seems daft, I don't often buy physical copies of games for ...

We're needing less than ten more people for the Scale Modelling proposal!
@GodEmperorDune Fantastic 4
@Frank But why Scale Models?
@fredley Because they're fun to build.
@Frank But why Scale Models?
We need more questions with ten votes, though.
@fredley I must be missing something.
my head isn'#t pounding now but the headache is still there
I can sense it, lets die in dark souls!
@djsmiley2k More lemsip
yeah already had paraceetamol
anyway, I accidently released al the creatures in ds2 :<
@fredley What show is that from?
@Frank Zoolander

RC & Scale Modeling

Proposed Q&A site for all hobbyists interested in RC/scale modeling, from static displays to operational models.

Currently in definition.

@djsmiley2k what creatures? The ones in the rat area?
20:23
errrr no
in a castle...
before the acient dragon
Aldia's keep
but they don't respawn at least
It's not going to be long until the giant hippos stop spawning I think
David Weber is releasing two books next month. Awesome.
@Chippies grift 50 soloed. Still in need for a conquest.
@Arperum nice, congrats!
if you can do grift 50, you should be able to get 6 gems to 50, which is what I did after soloing 40 without set bonuses
holy shit, what just happened
@Frank Are they related to the Honor Harrington series?
20:28
@Chippies I should try to get some stuff to see if I can solo a grift 40 without set bonii
@murgatroid99 One is in his prequel series.
The other is in the Safehold series.
@Frank OK, that makes sense. I knew about that one, but I didn't know about any others
Driving twice the distance should not result in me spending 2/3 as much time on the road.
But that's Halifax rush hour traffic.
@murgatroid99 I got to talk to him a bit in May. It was fun.

Fantasy Sports (Football, Basketball, Baseball) etc.

Proposed Q&A site for this site is for anyone involved in fantasy sports, for example fantasy football. People can ask specific questions such as should I make this trade or should I start this player over this player? Tags can be created for each different sport.

Q: Is there a quicker way to sharing items?

CamelCaseWhen playing through the game you often need to send an item to another time zone through the Chron-O-John. This can get tedious when you need to travel through several rooms with each character to make the exchange. More so when Laverne needs to decide if she is ill or needs to visit the toile...

cowgodI purchased Spot the dog for 50 diamonds, which said I would get a gift every 6 hours.

Q: Single bind to switch between just smoke/flash?

robjbHow can this be done via CS GO console commands? P.S. I realize there's a menu bind for alternating all grenades; that's not what I'm looking for.

40k souls lost :(
The school division just called with a message that was obviously run through a text to speech processor. It mispronounced Regina every time.
Gah. Gave doing a t9 rift a try with non-set gear. everything basically 2hit KO's me. cc @Chippies
@Arperum that sucks, it was really easy as a monk
user15026
@JasonBerkan Text to speech is fun like that. The bus one here announces "Louisa" in this weird warble that always makes it sound worried.
20:58
Or I need better gear.
@Arperum do you have focus&restraint? Those would help
although survivability depends on your build mostly
@Chippies Yup, one of them an ancient version even.
when I was doing the conquest, most of my skills were for damage mitigation and life regen
@Chippies Not if every single white trashmob 2hit KO's you.
as a monk, I can easily have 50%+ dodge chance

Q: What is the bonus scene?

CamelCaseAccording to the manual: I completed the game on expert but did not notice the bonus scene. What is the bonus scene?

@Chippies Yea, not as a barb.
Dodging is not really a thing.
It doesn't help that my toughness while whirlwinding is normally 40-70million(depends on ignore pain active or not), and without those set bonuses it crashes to 15-20 or something.
ffffffffs
the hippo grab attack
thru the dang doorway
@AshleyNunn the nav system in my car has a weird bug like that. It tells me about a "close-dee road"
21:24
@GodEmperorDune close-dee road, indeedly doo
user15026
@GodEmperorDune I love the one my parents have because when we go geocaching, each cache uses a GC code (numbers and letters) to identify it and so it does some weird stuff, like if the node has "MB" in it it will say "megabytes", gb is "gigabytes", etc
My GPS badly mispronounces one of the streets here, but I cannot recall which one at the moment.
Maybe Dewdney?
@JasonBerkan That might be because that's not a word.
@Arperum It's as much a word as Berkan.
21:32
@AshleyNunn Her storyline has grown like a kudzu, but they better finish it when she leaves.
@JasonBerkan Berkan is much more of a word that that other thing.
Edgar Dewdney, PC (November 5, 1835 – August 8, 1916) was a Canadian surveyor, road builder, Indian commissioner and politician born in Devonshire, England. He served as Lieutenant-Governor of the North-West Territories and the fifth Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia. == Early life and career == Following his education in civil engineering, he emigrated from England to British Columbia in 1859. In 1864, Dewdney married Jane Shaw Moir, the daughter of a tea plantation owner from Ceylon. This marriage was without issue. === Surveyor during the gold rushes of the 1860's === Dewdney w...
@AshleyNunn We need a ruling: what are the "wordiness" values for "Dewdney" and "Berkan"?
He's famous for being in charge of selecting the location of the capital of the NWT, and choosing a spot that occupied land he owned.

@Yuuki They're names, separate from common words.

Q: How do you acquire rot for a rot victory?

MadMAxJrOne of the ways to win Armello is to acquire a large amount of rot before taking down the king. A handful of cards will give you rot for using them, but you can't really be assured you will have access to them when you need them. Dying to a Bane will also grant you rot. Are there reliable mean...

@JasonBerkan Smart dude.
I facepalm every time LifeHacks.SE makes it onto the Hot Network Questions.
I'm certain the other sites do the same whenever one of our familicide / sex questions hits the Hot Network lists.
user15026
HNQ's get attention usually because they're weird. :P
21:48
HNQ get me lots of rep, so I'm fine with it.
And our HNQ are pretty tame compared to the workplace's
Our HNQ are either a) a good question about an extremely popular game or b) deliberately worded for the WTF? factor.
I remember that Barbie dancing one
user15026
@GodEmperorDune That was a weird time :P
22:06
@JasonBerkan C) both
Also fault milestone one was amazing, and in the coming days I'll get to see if fault milestone two can hold up
I blame @Sterno for my current streak of terrible game purchase savyy
(although my backlog of games I've bought full price is empty)
(so take THAT)
It was a poptart, not a sandwich, as it turns out- but, yeah...

blog.stackoverflow.com/2015/09/… what's different? weren't they always called stack overflow?
@Aequitas the company was called stack exchange for a while
Previous conversation about that starts there
@TrentHawkins Ah yes, the pro-Sudanese racism you see so often in America
@murgatroid99 ahahahaha
23:01
so rick santorum is invoking MLK in his craziness
I love when white people invoke MLK
Hold on, did I say "love"? I meant it gives me a heart attack.
The MLK you learn about in American public schools (or at least, I did) is a super sanitized white-washed version
so invoking him is super offensive
the context is that MLK's letter from birmingham jail talked about just laws and unjust laws, and you can guess what they consider an "unjust law"
and now they invoke benghazi
@GodEmperorDune Surely, it's something that infringes on our rights, such as the extensive government spying!
gop debate is full of lulz today
And not something like "the gays can marry"
23:12
Hi @IStandWithAhmed ! I'd love you to join us for our science show Generator in Toronto on 28 Oct. There's a ticket waiting for you.
@twobugs ding ding ding, kim davis is the new MLK
@Wipqozn that dude is so awesome
I START WITH PROOF OF HUMAN TERRIBLENESS, BUT END WITH PROOF OF HUMAN KINDNESS
i'm sad he's canadian
and not american
user15026
@Wipqozn And this is why he is one of my favourite people.
tl;dr public schools being stupid again
23:13
@GodEmperorDune Yeah, if only he were human :(
user15026
Aww, and the Four Seasons Hotel is like "if you come we will totally have a room for you to stay in"
Damn moose people!
user15026
MOOSE PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE TOO
> Ahmed is suspended until Thursday, he said, but is thinking about transferring to another high school.
You probably should
moose people? where is sarah palin with the helicopter to keep the population in check?
23:14
I haven't trusted the darn moose people since they tried to give my state a free bridge!
Perhaps to school not run by stupid racists.

@Wipqozn those racists have inadvertently given him a world of free publicity
That was supposed to be Obama being all "You're cool"
23:15
A free bridge? What do they think we are, made of money?! We can't afford a free bridge!
@twobugs i thought we were chatting on a free bridge
@GodEmperorDune ...You win this round.
although i guess we pay for it with mod abuse
In other news, made two new levels today. I'll make two more, then upload another group of four (aka world 2).

TheUnicornMasterI have been an avid Pokemon fan for most of my life. I have even caught all 718 Pokemon in one of my games. I have always found the games fun and interesting.

Q: The bad ending of Dishonored

Hitman2847In the bad ending of dishonere samuel fires a flare to alert the guards saying corvo is not so different than the antagonists, why did he do that knowing corvo is the only hope to find and save emily ?

@Chippies I think I just got some checkmark on the final journey part (break 100 things in kanai) or something Still need a conquest to finish the current one. I got one gem to 50, more to follow.
@Arperum eh, you'll get there, just gotta be patient :P
@GodEmperorDune *Noone should be talking about killing scientists. Crazy lunatics.
Is @Wipqozn here?
23:33
I found that once I got the guardian journey reward, I pretty much lost interest in playing the game
I play a bit with wife, but that's it :/
nothing left to achieve, lol
I tried to see if beating a grift in non-setbonus stuff works if others in the party have setbonuses. That doesn't work :(
don't you have to solo?
@Arperum i agree. it's terrifying
@Chippies Don't think that was a requirement. Might have overlooked.
Yup. Solo.
I did just get an ancient gavel, which is apparently the best weapon for Hammer of the ancient builds. And those are suggested for that grift 40 conquest
doesn't ancient gavel basically let you spam HotA?
23:37
I've beaten up to grift 55 in four player parties.
@Chippies Looks like it yes.
So that grift 60 conquests is closing in too.
I think we finished a grift 61 with a 4ppl party, even though one of the people was just leeching
but we had a really good map
that one plus the gem one are two conquests that are certainly part of the three required ones.
I read that people reliably speed run grift65+
they must not be monks
Huh. Sometime during the night a large piece of plaque that was lining one of my teeth got dislodged and fell out
And now whenever my tongue moves over that tooth it feels like a part of it is missing
@Fluttershy Probably
23:38
@Chippies I don't know, monks blow through things pretty fast AFAIK.
@Arperum yeah, but I'm pretty much pimped to the max and I can only solo 60+ if I get lucky with the map
well, I haven't really tried since I got my 2nd ancient weapon, but I doubt that would make a huge difference
I should go see a dentist to have my teeth cleaned
Yea, I have maybe three or four ancient items in use and solo grift 50. ANd most of my items have still craprolls on them.
there's very little left for improvement for my monk's gear
@PrivatePansy I don't think plaque does that
sounds like you had a piece of tooth fall off
@PrivatePansy sounds like a filling or something fell out
23:41
@Chippies No. It was black on one side and yellow on the other
@Chippies this is my barb
@PrivatePansy then you need to brush your teeth more
And the shape was crescent. Definitely plaque lining the tooth
@Arperum you seem to lack elemental damage, that's a pretty huge boost in dmg
23:42
of course getting gear that has all the stats you want and elemental damage can be a pain
@PrivatePansy well in that case, your tooth is now at least 10% cleaner. Congrats!
@Fluttershy Oh good. I was worried you finally managed to read more books than me this year.
@Chippies What element do I need then? My WW does physical damage.
Or the tooltip tells me that anyway.
@Arperum I just realized that I don't think there is a physical elemental damage, so I guess you can't do anything about it
@Chippies There are +%physical damage things.
I found this build
@Arperum oh yes, I just remembered that I certainly have had physical damage on amulets
when I said elemental damage, I include physical damage in that :P
honestly, I haven't seen many WW barbs at T10
most barbs in T10 public rifts are running hammer of the ancients
23:46
There's mostly monks. And some DH. And a barb left or right.
user15026
It's now that part of the night where I start really really hoping no one calls so I get to leave on itme.
and damn they're strong
@Arperum I have seen maybe 1 or 2 DH this whole season
I'd say there's monks > barbs = WD > wizards > DH in that order of popularity
@Chippies Half of the time there is one in a public game in EU.
and crusaders somewhere at the bottom as well
I think I saw one crusader.
23:48
@Arperum I've seen more than one, but I think they're on par with DH popularity wise on NA
Oh wait, I think I saw two crusaders.
There was that one hammerdin dude
and the one that was riding on his horse half of the time.
