@ardaozkal wtf

SaintWacko

@djsmiley2k Haha, yeah, it's the angled bit that comes out of the wall

Ohnana

@SaintWacko have you remembered to put the wee little gasket on there?

ardaozkal

About the 3mbps thing: it is called AKK- Adil Kullanım Kotası. "Fair usage quota"

SaintWacko

@Ohnana Wee little gasket?

Also, just killed my first Advent Mec!

Ohnana

@SaintWacko yeah there's a rubber thingy that goes inside the pipe to keep everything from leaking

...right?

two bugs

9:05 PM

No, that's fine XCOM2, my character was in full cover. Cover is meaningless!

ardaozkal

We even have a change.org petition with 200k+ votes against it.

two bugs

Hahaha missed a 99% chance shot

XCOM 2 you are hoisted

SaintWacko

@Ohnana I have nothing like that. I'm using teflon tape on the fittings

Sterno

You know what kind of person hits 99% shots every time? SAVE SCUMMERS, THAT'S WHO

two bugs

So you're saying I'm not a savescummer...? Thanks?

Unionhawk

9:16 PM

Isn't the RNG seeded?

Ohnana

@SaintWacko that's equivalent i think

two bugs

EU's is, I dunno how 2's rng works. Presumably similar.

Sterno

I'm not sure if it is in XCOM2. In EU, it was pretty easy to get around, though.

"Well, this asshole with the 37% chance to hit is going to miss anyway, so I'll just have him take the turn where the 99% missed last time."

two bugs

I wonder how annoyed the aliens are when I evac with the VIP right in front of them and they can't do anything

Ohnana

"aw man they were cute."

SaintWacko

9:30 PM

Wait, what?

You only have to build each mag weapon once?

two bugs

Yes.

SaintWacko

Nice!

two bugs

Basically, view that as building the technology. That armor thing at the start (the nanoscale vest or whatever) is an actual item

SaintWacko

Right

That's good to know

I was wondering why there was no "Make weapons available" button

ardaozkal

9:46 PM

TTS just got scripting support!

RESPAWN

how about glitches in XCOM2?

i felt like EU was filled with issues

Wipqozn

Oh hey, @GraceNote got promoted to sharpshooter

Grace Note

Woo!

user4704

That sounds ominous.

RESPAWN

and almost lost the final mission because 3/4 of the way through one of my snipers got stuck in a ceiling so i had to go in to the final battle a man down

SaintWacko

9:47 PM

Okay, XCOM 2 RNG is not seeded

Trent Hawkins

@RESPAWN in Xcom, on the final mission, the door to the final battle bugged and I had to battle the final bosses with only 2 of my squad.

Mad Scientist

@Wipqozn I think Grace is responsible for some SE elections. Not sure if we want sharpshooters involved in that ;-)

GnomeSlice

@ardaozkal Pretty sure I linked you that

Oh, no, another from the ep

SaintWacko

Also, I could have sworn my assault just got an upgrade that said they could still take an action after dashing

Hmm

GnomeSlice

Yeah I have the EP

9:51 PM

@SaintWacko run and gun? you need to activate it and it only applies to firing, not every action

unless this is xcom 2 which i don't know about

Wipqozn

@JoshPetrie nah man, totally fine

@MadScientist Just make sure @GraceNote likes you, problem solved!

ardaozkal

@GnomeSlice I'll check that out after this onepunchman ep, thanks. Also have anything else and new?

RESPAWN

@TrentHawkins Did you actually win that engagement with only 2 soldiers?

ardaozkal

ps. my discover weekly, this week is pretty nice

@RESPAWN after much save scumming, yes. (considering the game bugged out the way it did, I don't feel bad about it)

Q: Why is it raining only over generated bodies of water?

On Minecraft I notice that it rains only over water (links to YouTube video showing the issue better): I haven't played Minecraft for a while: is this a recent change that I missed? I first noticed this on a server so I tried single-player, but however the issue persists. I've tracked it down...

@GodEmperorDune XCOM 2

Wipqozn

@Arperum just missed a 91% shot. I hope you're ashamed.

well, this ret. mission si going poorly

Afor fuck sakes, I always forget officers have wid range grendaes

SaintWacko

Executed!

Wipqozn

oh good, that activated troops

this is going to end poorly

SaintWacko

9:59 PM

Completed that whole mission in 6 turns

Wipqozn

man, I love early game

RNG the game

Let's all miss our shots

SaintWacko

New record for average damage per attack and average enemies killed per turn

GnomeSlice

@GraceNote bmssrecords.bandcamp.com/album/inner-engineering

Wipqozn

THank you @MBraedley. AT least you know how to point and shoot.

oh more troops

Trent Hawkins

@RESPAWN I vaguely recall I had a sniper and a recon in the boss room. hardest part was dealing with them mind-controlling either of those two.

John

10:02 PM

opens Arqade to 15+ notifications of @Wipqozn talking about XCOM.

@Wipqozn Uh...totally...

@Wipqozn This sounds like when I try to play TF2 :D

@Wipqozn I AM IMMORTAL

Wipqozn

oh ther's the faceless

John

@Wipqozn Should I be happy about this? I honestly don't know

Wipqozn

@John SPOILERS: You didn't die

John

@Wipqozn Yay!

I love not dying.

Wipqozn

You actually managed to last until the final mission, and were bleeding out on the groud when it finished.

John

10:05 PM

@Wipqozn Oh, well, that's dramatic.

2

Wipqozn

I am not even a little bit happy about activating this faceless at the worst possible time.

John

@djsmiley2k Ahem

Wipqozn

Nice shot @Arperum! That redeems your earlier failure.

I'm so happy that sectoid raised a psi zombie

Like actually

Fluttershy

I hope @Wipqozn does a better job keeping me alive this time.

Maybe if I'm a sniper?

Wipqozn

since now that sectoid is about to be flanked to death

John

10:08 PM

@Fluttershy I think keeping people alive is my job, actually. Being the medic, and all.

SaintWacko

@Wipqozn Me too, I love when they do that. It's pretty much a free extra turn to kill them

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy I'll try my best, but it's always possible you'll need to sacrafice your life for th greater good again

Fluttershy

@Wipqozn Nah, idgaf about the greater good. Just keep me alive. :D

Wipqozn

@John I think you were afkt hat mission, which is why @Fluttershy had to play medic. And he managed to save someones life, too! Although at the cost of his own.

Good job team

John

@Wipqozn Oh, okay. Way to upstage my drama with your own, @Fluttershy.

Wipqozn

10:12 PM

@John There's always lots of drama to go around in XCOM

John

@Wipqozn Hooray

Retaliation mission

Powerlord

So, I finally got an oil change for my car.

SaintWacko

Never fear: XCOM is here!

Powerlord

I only should have had it done... oh... 1782 miles before it was actually done

SaintWacko

10:18 PM

What the hell?

What happened to getting a reaction shot when a suppressed enemy moved?

Powerlord

I blame Overwatch

Q: Xcom - Ammo Conservation for plasma weapons

Does ammo conservation research useful for plasma weapons? Per the description, it is not clear:

xcom-enemy-unknown xcom-enemy-within

SaintWacko

Oh good, mutons

Wipqozn

annnd this is a wipe. Can already tell.

ACtivated a second pod trying to better position myself.

yup

and soldiers miss every shot

mine as well just quit now

that's one soldier down

and now someon else is panic

Dragonrage

10:34 PM

@Wipqozn so far whenever my soldiers have panicked, they just attack the alien closest to them

Wipqozn

yaaay, miss a shot

I love when I miss all ym shots, yet the aliens always manage to hit my guys behind full cover

annd there we go. Time to get to the objective.

Objective down

Powerlord

Why is @Wipqozn a lion in a box now?

Wipqozn

@Powerlord I can't remember

But it's Lion from Steven Universe

Man, I hate moving a guy to get better cover, only for him to lose his line of sight

SaintWacko

Oh good a faceless

10:44 PM

I wish when you moved somewhere, it would show you how your targets will change

Because sometimes the reason you lose line of sight isn't clear at all

SaintWacko

I wish that it would make you confirm movement

The way it makes you confirm EVERYTHING ELSE

Wipqozn

well that's enough dying for one day

SaintWacko

no no no

Oh, whew

Q: How to run old games installer on Windows 10?

I have a couple of old CD games such as Mig-29 Fulcrum,F-16 Novalogic and F-22 Raptor etc. and I want to install them. When I load the CD in my laptop it runs and open's up the launcher but when I click the "Install Game" nothing happens. The setup launcher doesn't launch. Why? Is this because...

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

see @Unionhawk I HIDE MY SPINACH BUT IT'S STILL GREEN

which is doubly fun

Trent Hawkins

Almost time for Weirdmageddon pt3

RESPAWN

@TrentHawkins I'm impressed that you managed to finish it. I had trouble with my squad of 5, but then I did have a heavy weapons guy get mind controlled and shoot a rocket into a couple of the rest of my squad.

ardaozkal

11:25 PM

@spugsley recipe pls

spugsley

@ardaozkal lol I don't really measure but I can totally tell you what I put in it :)

ardaozkal

ok, writing down!

LessPop_MoreFizz

@spugsley long time!

GnomeSlice

@ardaozkal @Texenox onsetaudio.bandcamp.com/album/mesopotamia-disclosure

spugsley

@ardaozkal about 2 handfuls of spinach, one small banana, 2 globs of peanut butter, a bit of honey and vanilla extract for sweetness and flavor, and then almond milk. And then I put some ice in because I like it colder and thicker, but it's fine without it too!

@LessPop_MoreFizz hi hi :) I quit my shitty job so I have time again in life lol

ardaozkal

11:29 PM

@spugsley spinach is not my thing, so I'll think of some alternatives (apple peel maybe?)

other than that, it seems pretty nice

spugsley

@ardaozkal I can't taste the spinach at all, honestly

this is the only way I can eat it

it has a shit ton of iron in it which I need because yay vegetarian so I figure I blend it with some tasty things and voila

apple peel would probably be tasty too and I doubt you'd need the honey because that's certainly sweeter than spinach

LessPop_MoreFizz

@spugsley grats?

spugsley

@LessPop_MoreFizz ish. The job itself wasn't terrible. I lost a shit ton of weight because of how physical it was. But my boss was a disgusting, ignorant douche

And the company took his back over mine

LessPop_MoreFizz

Ugh. That is never fun.

spugsley

because he's one of the "originals"

in their fancy boys club

or I should say bigoted white southern christian male club

LessPop_MoreFizz

11:35 PM

The best kind of club.

spugsley

yeah so my boss said some rude shit and I politely told him that it made me uncomfortable. And his response to me was "Well, I'm not politically correct"

LessPop_MoreFizz

Did you call EEOC or NLRB?

spugsley

so then I went above his head because it happened again and again and he didn't care who was around (ahem we work with children). And they were like "Oh, that's just Hayes. Good ol' Hayes."

LessPop_MoreFizz

Because you should.

spugsley

It's harder in NC. Our employment laws are fucking nuts

and unless I wanted to take him to court over harassment which I'm not sure I can because he didn't say anything directly too me about me, I don't know that I have any options especially now that I've quit

could be wrong though. I'll look in to it

LessPop_MoreFizz

11:41 PM

NLRB is los federales.

They are worth talking to.

@spugsley hostile workplace is valid grounds for a sexual harrassment claim and it does not need to be directed at you if it makes you uncomfortable.

And quitting does not remove your rights. At all.

Meanwhile, in other news, this is a picture of this years heavy metal Grammy winners accepting their award.

spugsley

perfect. Looks like I have some reading to do because he is horrible and no one should have to work with him

@LessPop_MoreFizz lol

LessPop_MoreFizz

@spugsley if you go EEOC, you have 180 days from date of incident: eeoc.gov/field/raleigh/charge.cfm

(Raleigh office has jurisdiction over all of NC.)

And if they are the wrong place for this particular charge, they will absolutely be able to point you to the right place.

(And if they can't, bother me again. I have some Nc friends who are more knowledgable than I on his stuff who I can harass into providing a direction)

Wipqozn

Damn it @GnomeSlice, you missed a 93% shot. You're fired. FIRED I SAY.

NO MORE MISSIONS FOR YOU

Well tha went well

Flawless rating, despite GnomieBear dropping the ball on that shot
