@John This on hardcore? A new world? Or did you load an old save?

John

@RavenDreamer New survival world.

Is it just me or is gold a lot more plentiful?

Sniper skeleton. >.<

Wait so it is possible to kill ghasts with their own fireballs?!?

Well, that was neat. I got stuck in a never ending conversation in Jurassic Park.

I had one conversation option and there was no option to stop talking to the person. :|

David Fullerton

@badp no, midnight UTC on the 11th to midnight UTC on the 18th

@DavidFullerton so Tom's post had 50 upvotes when the deadline hit?

gaming.stackexchange.com/posts/35822/timeline

↑ this timeline

(trying to validate the fact Raven also had the 2nd best answer)

Also I hope the current system message holds in one line on your computer as well

@John there's even an achievement for it

David Fullerton

@badp works on mine, anyone check on a Mac?

@badp I don't have the exact query we wrote for it right now, but the timeline also uses UTC days so it should be correct

okay, thanks

if somebody should complain on meta we now know what to say

@DavidFullerton I would, but I'm running windows for Skyrim ATM. :P

One of the notable 'features' of Fallout:New Vegas was the return to the series of 'Low Int Dialog' - that is to say, special dialog options in conversations that reflected the fact that you had rolled a Very Stupid Character. Now, I know the threshhold for Low-Int speech options is generally 3...

@GnomeSlice Welcome to yesterday. See: Meta

@RavenDreamer "THIS IS MY WORLD. YOU ARE NOT WELCOME IN MY WORLD."

@RavenDreamer i never know how to feel about those minimalist texture packs

(I know, I know, soldier response but that's a demo hat.)

3:40 AM

That one is too... blocky.

@OrigamiRobot I made this one for myself. It's my texture pack.

What did you think all the starred comments about Raven's Wood was referring to?

Actually, don't answer that.

piehole and Jolicraft are where it's at, for 16x16 textures.

is 16x16 the default?

Yes.

I've become partial to Sphax PureDBCraft

3:42 AM

So, the muffin knight contest page is... gone.

@OrigamiRobot Except it's an HD pack.

@GnomeSlice I wish it was MOAR HD

@OrigamiRobot There is the 16x16 version of Sphax.

That's sadly not so good at that resolution, otherwise I'd be using that instead of making my own.

Glimmar's Steampunk x32 is the only texture pack that's even persuaded me to TRY figuring out HD packs.

I want it so much.

At one point i was using a super HD pack with the sexiest smooth stone ever

I'm a Steampunk Junkie.

3:44 AM

HD packs are super easy

That Steampunk one is #2 in the 50 best HD texture packs, according to segmentnext.com.

@GnomeSlice I am also a steampunker

@OrigamiRobot You should check out the LB photorealism pack. It's available in up to x256.

thats me and @spugsley

@OrigamiRobot That's you? I've never actually owned or worn any steampunk attire, I just love the atmosphere.

3:48 AM

We dress up and go to Cons and RenFest

we won various levels of the costume contest at RenFest the past 2 years

/brag

The um. The Corset.

Is it designed to draw attention to her breasts?

4

That seems... odd.

@GnomeSlice Ummm, that's what most corsets are designed to do to some extent or another.

Er... Okay, but I mean... That's like, an outerwear type vest thing. And it follows the breast line. Who does that?

Oh bloody hell, who starred that.

lol

loses internet

3:57 AM

my wife (spugsley, the woman on the right) is loling at you @GnomeSlice

I hope she doesn't think I was looking at her breasts.

@GnomeSlice I already told her you were :D

Based on what's written (and starred) above.

ಠ_ಠ

@OrigamiRobot, @IanPugsley know each other IRL? Otherwise I'm very confused.

user15026

Me too. confused

3:59 AM

and @spugsley

@RavenDreamer Apparently they're married. EDIT: Nope.

They do. Me and IanPugsley are married :)

and OrigamiRobot is our best friend irl

loses internet

Ullallulloo

@GnomeSlice You should really get a better ISP...

@spugsley I always thought your gravatar was just some random internet picture. Now I'm guessing it's actually a picture of you.

user15026

4:00 AM

the internet can be creepily tiny some days

Live and learn!

@Ullallulloo Or, in his case, new parents.

@RavenDreamer yes, that is actually me

@spugsley The black and white makes you look very artsy!

Q: If multiple items have the same enchantment, does the bonus stack?

0

Certain enchantments can be applied to multiple items, such as both an amulet and a ring. If I wear two items that grant the same bonus, does the bonus stack? (e.g. if I wear an amulet of +12% Alchemy and a ring of +12% Alchemy, do I get +24% to Alchemy?) Also, do some enchantments stack while o...

@RavenDreamer haha

Ullallulloo

4:01 AM

@RavenDreamer That's harder...

@Ullallulloo well yea if that's your attitude :D

Why can you only wear 1 magic ring in Skyrim? That's bugging me.

@RavenDreamer bc the creation kit hasn't been released

@RavenDreamer yeah, it makes no sense

@RavenDreamer Because the magic of multiple rings would interfere with each other and open a gate to Oblivion.

4:04 AM

@LessPopMoreFizz that is DESIRABLE behavior

I hope to do some modding of Skyrim.

Put my game design cred where my mouth's at.

Ive got an idea or two

mostly just tweaks

multiple rings

mass smithing

things im sure other people will do

I have just stolen 350 bottles of mead.

I need more fences.

22 mins ago, by GnomeSlice

Is it designed to draw attention to her breasts?

4:14 AM

Corsets.

and the trend of starred posts which make @GnomeSlice look like a jerk continues

2

We were talking about corsets.

@RavenDreamer I'm aware. I just love how the starred list always manages to make @gnome look like a jerk.

Lol, how did we get back on corsets again?

corsets are apparently a mystery to him

4:15 AM

I kind of think we need to just make an "@Gnomeslice Out of Context" twitter account or something.

3

@LessPop_MoreFizz Agreed.

It'll be the next Horse_eBooks!

Ooh, are we talking about corsets in here?

@Wipqozn I'm glad you agree with me. You can go ahead and do it because I'm too lazy to. You can also take the credit, but only until it takes off, and then I'll demand my share.

@GraceNote We're talking about talking about corsets.

4:18 AM

@RavenDreamer I think it's spelled "Oui"

(went for ', hit enter instead)

...aww, that would've struck so much more home if I got it before your edit

My fingers are like bullet trains.

Pshoooow

corsets are a popular subject around here

So, OrigamiRobot knows the Pugsleys

4:19 AM

@RavenDreamer You should use that as a pick up line

@GraceNote they have cups with the letter 'P' on them

@GraceNote And cosplays with them!

I'm not allowed to use them

@OrigamiRobot Quite understandable

@RavenDreamer I saw! Steampunk, no less

@IanPugsley doesnt cosplay

he is to cool for that

4:20 AM

You should change that

I'm not too cool, I'm just not particular well-shaped for cosplay

6'2" and 240some pounds

I'm about as bad with men's weights as I am with distance measurements.

@GraceNote Me too.

I got the fat on me

@IanPugsley cut that out!

4:23 AM

bwahahahaha

Part of it has to do with having a brother who's tall (about as tall as you) but weighs far less than I do.

Also, congrats on winning @RavenDreamer

My brother is 2" shorter than me and weighs about 20 pounds more.

20 ain't much of a far

everyone is taller than me :( 5'0"

4:24 AM

@GraceNote I was terrible at it until I spent 2 years working as a Process Server. That made me pretty damned good at eyeballing.

@LessPop_MoreFizz That sounds more like a kind of computer than an occupation.

@GraceNote nope

Q: I found a headless horseman! Now what?

1

As I was wandering around the mountains near Rorikstead, I happened upon this interesting character: Yup, it's a headless horsemen. He rides pretty fast but I managed to catch up with him. I tried to interact with him but the action wasn't allowed. I followed him for a pretty long while and h...

I'm far from precise, but I can be accurate to within 25 pounds or so which is what matters for legal stuff.

I saw him too, @spugsley

Tried to talk with him, but he outran my Valkyrie. :(

4:26 AM

@RavenDreamer glad I'm not crazy. He didn't outrun me but the action wasn't allowed. The 'e' command popped up but it wouldn't actually do anything

Service of process

Service of process is the procedure employed to give legal notice to a person (such as a defendant) of a court or administrative body's exercise of its jurisdiction over that person so as to enable that person to respond to the proceeding before the court, body or other tribunal. Usually, notice is furnished by delivering a set of court documents (called "process") to the person to be served. Service Each jurisdiction has rules regarding the means of service of process. Typically, a summons and related documents must be served upon the defendant personally, or in some cases upon anothe...

@spugsley Hey now, let's not jump to conclusions.

FUUUUUU Wikipedia

@LessPop_MoreFizz So you're the guy who just darts at people when they least need it and tell them "You've just been served"?

buuurn.com

4:27 AM

@RavenDreamer good point, being that my questions have been about prostitution and headless horsemen...I might actually be crazy

@GraceNote Was. Except that 95%+ of the stuff I was serving was on hospitals, insurance companies, HR dept's, etc.

So you're not a jerk serving people, you're a people serving jerks?

@spugsley Don't be bummed. Crazy is good. Just ask Sheogorath.

So, it was more I'd walk into the office and say "Hey, I've got a stack of subpeonas here" and take the name of the person I handed them to and then fill out a logbook entry with their physical descriptions.

@GraceNote Bit of both. :P

@RavenDreamer oh god! I HATED that quest

4:28 AM

@RavenDreamer WABBAJACK

poeple serving?!

What part of North Carolina are you guys from?

WABBAJACK WABBAJACK WABBAJACK WABBAJACK WABBAJACK

@spugsley Shivering Isles?

@RavenDreamer hahaha I was like "WTF is a Wabbajack...oh...wow I'm holding it..."

4:28 AM

Charlotte

@RavenDreamer I think she means the Wabbajack quest in Skyrim

@RavenDreamer yeah, in Skyrim

Also, if you haven't used the Wabbajack much, you should. Immediately. And constantly.

I accidentally completed Sanguine's Daedric Quest today.

@RavenDreamer NO spoilers

4:29 AM

The first time it turns a mob into an explosion of gold coins, will be the best day of the rest of your life.

@LessPopMoreFizz that's disgusting and doesn't mean what you think it means

@RavenDreamer I've been looking forward to that one :)

@LessPop_MoreFizz So it was more of a "Y'ALL JUST GOT SERVED, YO!" kind of announce'y thing.

All I'm gonna say, is that the lack of quest markers was not helpful.

@RavenDreamer I can imagine

4:30 AM

I wound up paying folks instead of actually fixing their problems.

"Hey you, tell me where to go next!"

hahaha

its a throwback to Morrowind

"Fine, but first you gotta pay me 2000 gold for the ring I sold you!"

sigh. Fiiiiiiiiiiiiine. Here, take your 2000 septims.

FIGURE OUT ALL THE THINGS

@OrigamiRobot How so?

4:31 AM

@LessPopMoreFizz no quest markers

I could NEVER find the albino guar

@OrigamiRobot Eh?

oh

you meant the other thing

That he the did.

@OrigamiRobot No, I mean how is my statement 'disgusting'

"Also, if you haven't used the Wabbajack much, you should. Immediately. And constantly."

I'm not good at chat

I dont know the tricky tricks

4:34 AM

@OrigamiRobot maybe a standard "That's what she said" might have had a better reception

@OrigamiRobot It's true. The Wabbajack should be used all the time.

Wabbajack is the best staff.

wow this was surprisingly easy to find

@spugsley No, I'd've gotten it if he'd replied to the right line of chat.

Ooh, winners for skyrimvsmw3 were announced whilst I were gone, intrigue.

so I went to go look up where "that's disgusting and it doesn't mean what you think it means" is from, it's a baby meme that the three of us use

alt text on: drmcninja.com/archives/comic/18p3

4:35 AM

I thought he meant my statement about turning mobs into explosions of gold was disgusting and was confused.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Wait, what?

@LessPopMoreFizz yes, that would be confusing

looks up where to get wabbajack

@IanPugsley I was going to ask you for that link

@RavenDreamer Go get drunk and trash a temple in whiterun.

4:35 AM

yay injokes!

way ahead of you

The Wabbajack will follow.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Wait, I did that in Markath and got the Sanguine Rose.

Just how many temples does the Dragonborn trash while drunk?

@RavenDreamer go to Solitude, talk to beggers, visit the closed wing of the Jarl's place

@RavenDreamer Yeah, my bad, I got the two confused

4:37 AM

Dear Ebony Mail, your smokey sneak effect is cool but I'm trying to aim my bow

But yeah, chill in Solitude, Derevenin will chat with you and lend a hand

Hum. "Wabbajack" turns up no results on Gaming Stack Exchange search.

@OrigamiRobot Ebony Mail classed as Light or Heavy this time around? Too lazy to check

heavy

which makes me happy

@OrigamiRobot blehhhh heavy armor

4:39 AM

Heavy Vs. Light is an irrelevant distinction late game.

It only actually matters at low levels.

its all about the cool factor

And I suppose if you have a preference between stamina regen and stagger resistance

@LessPopMoreFizz still fun to argue about

daedric FTW

@LessPopMoreFizz if I can get away with wearing less pieces of armor, that's much better

the archmage's robes are greeeat

4:43 AM

@IanPugsley ... Not sure how wearing a single piece of Daedric armor and going barefoot is really superior, but shrug

I just want to wear those robes and still have max DR

Congratulations, @DoozerBlake!

Doozer Blake

@GraceNote Thanks. Was a surprising email to get when I got home today. Unexpected to say the least.

While I'm at it, congrats to @Ian, @Origami, and @Raven for the question and answers victories as well

4:50 AM

@GraceNote I got the 2nd highest answer also! Which makes my meme-fueled victory all the sweeter!

no kidding

4:51 AM

With that, Ima head to bed. G'nite all.

Doozer Blake

I'm still amazed that a few people by themselves got more views on their answers than MW3 did.

@DoozerBlake People really want to know what to do with Dragon Scales and Bones

Also, Congrats!

Doozer Blake

@RavenDreamer Indeed. Next time, it's Raven Dreamer vs. MW4.

@DoozerBlake Bring it. Me and my sharks will murdelate any who stand in our way! evil laughter

5:03 AM

@RavenDreamer I hate your sharks

@OrigamiRobot I hate your hourglasses.

good

bc they are bowties

I hate both of your uncustomized, randomly generated gravatars

That's my uncostomized, randomly generated gravatar.

okay that's a lie, a black and red sharks one is pretty great, esp. when you've got like 50k+ rep

@IanPugsley I hate your inconsistent use of avatars

what, I gotta use the same thing everywhere?

either all the same or all different

@OrigamiRobot you must really hate GraceNote then

Q: Restocking my house

Is it possible (or does it happen automatically) to restock the stuff in my house? I bought the Solitude house with alchemy table and took all the ingredients around. Is there a way to get them there again? Thanks

If there isn't one I suggest magicka.

12:36 PM

@RonanForman Limited to 4 though, isn't it?

I don't know. Anyway when we're not playing TF2 that's normally how many turn up.

Ah, gotcha. It's one of the weeks I can't make it tonight, so I won't be around til it's mostly over.

We could play the vs mode. I think you can have more in that.

I should really talk to @Wipqozn instead.

I've found that doing challenge maps together is hilarious fun

I haven't played anything but a bit of the demo. But it's free ATM.

12:41 PM

Ah yeah, forgot about that. Definitely a good candidate then, I'd say

the fewer people you have who know what they're doing, the more fun Magicka is!

yeah Magicka would be good.

I might even play.

I was thinking of recording it and practicing my editing, get some highlights.

Not a whole play through. Maybe like 5 minutes long.
