@twobugs I should play it some more, but I've been doing Monster Hunter.

Powerlord

I really should learn how to play Rocket League.

Monster Hunter definitely has more meat to the gameplay, but I like FFEX has a nice little diversion

user15026

@twobugs We're getting freezing rain and snow.

two bugs

Breaking into endgame in FFEX is a lot easier but there are far fewer bosses and some of the bosses have artificial difficulty (i.e. stunlocks and/or 1shots)

user15026

@ardaozkal No idea what this is, so.....yay?

Powerlord

I'm right where that + is in the center of the image

@AshleyNunn It is a very popular tool that allows you to write C#, and make native apps out of it for iOS, android and Windows.

@ardaozkal Is that new info? I thought it was clear Xamarin was going to be bought by Microsoft when MS started shipping it as part of Visual Studio

Q: What is the benefit of the Overload mechanic?

The Overload mechanic in Hearthstone works as follows: Overload is an ability which reduces the amount of mana available the next turn by the stated amount. Is there any benefit at all to playing a card which reduces the available mana for the next turn?

Q: What provisions to take to particular dungeons (Cove, Ruins, Weald, Warrens, Darkest)?

I think I got the hang of basic provisioning in sense that I take: 12 food (+6 per dungeon length, so 18 for medium and 24 for long) 8 torches (12/16) 1 shovel (2/3) Obviously, this is for run where I keep light >75%. Also I modify provisions slightly depending on team comp - like if I have V...

Q: Metal Gear V: The Phantom Pain dialogue audio bug

I'm experiencing a very strange bug in the Xbox One version. The dialogue audio is shutdown and only the subtitles are shown. In the PC version people are facing the same issue and the solution was to turn off the 5.1 audio system in the settings. But the thing is that the Xbox One does not have ...

But enough talk throw hat have at you!

Yuuki

@Sterno Do you have the normal version or SOTFS?

Pavel Janicek

Hi there, can I have "new newbie" question?

Yuuki

... Sure?

Pavel Janicek

20:21

cool

Yuuki

Not sure what you mean by that.

Pavel Janicek

So, I have new laptop, but I actually use it on the lap. And I want to play games too

Sterno

@Yuuki SOTFS

Yuuki

@Sterno Poop, I can't co-op with you.

Pavel Janicek

So I was thinking of buying a gamepad, USB type

Sterno

20:22

I considered summoning people to be a personal failure anyway.

Pavel Janicek

is there something I should check before buying gamepad?

Yuuki

You should buy a coolpad or something to put between your lap and the laptop as well.

Your thighs will thank you.

Pavel Janicek

@Yuuki on the list :) Thanks for advice

MadMAxJr

Gamepad for a PC? I'd recommend a Logitech F310.

That's a wired pad that works 99% of the time as an xbox controller. Should be ~$25 and is quite sturdy

There's a wireless version but it's a bit more expensive.

Pavel Janicek

I prefer wired stuff

MadMAxJr

20:26

I like the steam controller but I don't have enough hours on games that use it well to really judge it.

Powerlord

I'm using an Xbox One gamepad on my PC. They even sell an Xbox One controller with the correct cable it needs.

ardaozkal

@MadMAxJr +1, a friend has one.

Pavel Janicek

I was thinking if investing to steam controller is worth it

user15026

I just use a cheap wired xbox360 controller

ardaozkal

And also, the real Xbox controllers are neat too

Pavel Janicek

20:27

because it is abiut the same price as the logitech

user15026

(although at some point I should replace it, the one bumper button sticks)

Pavel Janicek

and should be I afraid of compatibility with games or steam?

Or just plug it in and hope for the best

user15026

@MadMAxJr I think I might grab one of these, they're cheap, and it will mean I don't have to worry about buttons jamming (I think I must have gotten something on my current one at some point, buttons stick)

MadMAxJr

Many steam games are looking for an xbox compatible controller.

I like the F310 because it does /not/ have rumble in it.

Powerlord

@AshleyNunn There are no wired Xbox One controllers, but you can connect any one to a PC using a USB A to Micro-B connector.

MadMAxJr

20:29

I am not a big fan of the feature.

RedRiderX

@MadMAxJr I recently replaced mine after 4+ years, it's still a great controller.

ardaozkal

Wow, they only cost 20$ here

MadMAxJr

The F310 has worked with nearly any steam game I have played. EXCEPT Dead Rising 2.

user15026

@Powerlord I'm not using an xbox one controller?

user15026

@MadMAxJr oh good, I hate that.

Powerlord

20:30

@AshleyNunn ...I know, but I do. I was explaining the differences.

user15026

@Powerlord ah.

MadMAxJr

Dead Rising 2 says it works with xbox controllers, unfortunately it's strict as in it only works with a wired xbox 360 first-party controller.

Powerlord

@MadMAxJr Probably uses XInput.

ardaozkal

What is... rumble?

MadMAxJr

Rumble. Controller shake?

Force feedback.

Pavel Janicek

20:31

cool

thanks a lot

ardaozkal

Ahhh, I hate that.

Powerlord

Part of the reason I switched from an Xbox 360 controller to an Xbox One controller is because the D-Pad on the Xbox 360 kinda sucks.

MadMAxJr

Agreed.

Mithrandir

Pay no attention to me. I'm just testing an easter egg.

ardaozkal

@Mithrandir sandbox?

user15026

20:33

No worries, you're far from the first.

Mithrandir

@AshleyNunn That's something, at least. :)

ardaozkal

I always played on PS controllers to date (and surprisingly I never had a PS console, except PSP, which doesn't have a controller that is that close to the PS controllers), and all xbox controllers feel weird to me.

I never used one for enough time to get used to it, so idk rly.

Powerlord

Well, that was interesting... cable modem's upstream channel went away, but not the downstream channel(s)

user15026

@ardaozkal I have the opposite problem, PS controllers feel so odd

MadMAxJr

PS controller for PC gaming were a headache.. Don't use the MotionJoy driver for a Ps3 controller, ever. The config window has ad panels. those ad panels try to push malware.

I hear there's a rather slick PS4 driver for the PC.

Powerlord

20:42

@MadMAxJr I thought Sony said in the past that they were going to release an official driver, but they never have.

ardaozkal

@Powerlord soon^TM

MadMAxJr

I found one, but I can't recall the name. It let me use the PS4 touchpad as a laptop touchpad.

I found that really nice.

ardaozkal

Speaking of controllers- Does anyone here have one of these?

Powerlord

Wait... does the Windows Store not let you tell it which drive to install things to?

ardaozkal

@Powerlord it does.

Q: Is there an optimum way to level up characters?

Characters have growth stats, which determine how much raw stats each character gets when leveling up. It appears to me that the size of growth depends on how many stars the character currently sits at. So, the main question I have is: What is the optimal way to level up characters so that their ...

Powerlord

Of course you mean the system's Settings rather than the Windows Store settings, because that totally makes sense.

glares at Microsoft

two bugs

The Xbox One controller is really nice, you just have to use Windows 10 (at least, I did) for it to work on PC

ardaozkal

20:48

Everyone should switch to W10 anyways, it will probably be the last Windows.

two bugs

I don't doubt that they intend for W10 to last a while, but I don't buy it'll be the last Windows.

Yay, we finally got permission for going home time, about 40 minutes before it was going home time anyway!

djsmiley2k

@ardaozkal So not per app?

D:

ardaozkal

Per app.

It doesn't move the files there- it just downloads it there.

3ventic

so it's "per app" like Origin has it

ardaozkal

You can move them here too: Settings->System->Storage->YourDeviceHere->Apps&Games

Ahh, I found the product guidelines for the wireless controller I just posted the picture of... it supports everything I need and more

and @badp what if steam shuts down isnt windows safer

ardaozkal

@badp "No SLI or CrossFire" I don't have SLI anyways *cries in a corner* "VSync is Always On" my card isn't good enough to handle 60fps on RoTR anyways cries in a corner

murgatroid99

@WritingNerd Spoilers for next season, and revealed about a month ago

Unionhawk

or better yet just use discs way safe

WritingNerd

@murgatroid99 i know but maybe she doent. anyway i cant wait for season 6

SaintWacko

21:15

@ardaozkal SLI isn't terribly useful anyway

ardaozkal

"Always Borderless Fullscreen Mode" I always play it so so no problem too. "Sorry, No Modding" Most of the TR mods were Nudity mods, I don't think that RoTR is any different. "No .exe File (and No Steam Controller)" I don't have steam controller (also ps C:\Program Files\WindowsApps, the exe is there) *cries in a corner* "No Overlays" Its on borderless so no problem. "Mouse Macros Won’t Work" My mouse sucks so no problem anyways *cries in a corner*

"No Clear Refund Policy" there is a trick, but I won't tell how. "Only for Windows 10" I use W10 so still no problem.

Unionhawk

Steam is still the clearly superior platform.

ardaozkal

@Unionhawk yes. Steam master race.

But as I say, while windows store has many cons, they don't affect me.

Ordis

Everything in ORDIS, Operator?

IS THAT A PUN? I will attempt to bypass this fault.

ardaozkal

I can get RoTR for VERY low prices from Windows Store using some tricks, won't tell how, its obvi though.

Google called us up today

Ohnana

tl;dr on that obvi thing: ardao.me/files/xzkc.png also try googling 266 UAH to USD on bing.

RedRiderX

They said the "packet has arrived" and gave us a 4 digit code.

Is this real life?

@Ordis I'm into Warframe hardcore right now so this account based cosplay is appealing to me.

ardaozkal

@RedRiderX what do you choose? G or O?

it won't make any sense sec

no time for photoshop, paint master race

Nate Kerkhofs

My big concern is this: Microsoft has announced plans to only release Quantum Break through the Windows Store.

RedRiderX

21:25

@ardaozkal That's some OG photoshop action right there

Unionhawk

yay Microsoft has created Origin

\o/

I guess the alternative is Xbone exclusives

Nate Kerkhofs

I mean, I got Windows 10, but still, having to play Quantum Break with such restrictions is heartwrenching

It's stuff like that which drives people to piracy

I mean, you can't even use Fraps to record it

Unionhawk

Oh good we're getting into "reasons why piracy is ethical"

ardaozkal

@NateKerkhofs uuugh Win+G

Nate Kerkhofs

@Unionhawk Don't get me wrong, I understand that piracy is wrong, but I also understand why some people resort to it

Unionhawk

21:29

Also hold the fuck on does that mean XSplit or OBS would not work either?

Meaning professional streamers won't stream it?

Nate Kerkhofs

No Overlays

Unionhawk

Good plan Microsoft

Nate Kerkhofs

I'm not sure whether that also includes Xplit and OBS

ardaozkal

@Unionhawk let me try

RedRiderX

@Unionhawk I don't get how no overlays means screen recording won't work

Nate Kerkhofs

21:30

Also, you might be able to stream it through a dedicated capture interface

RedRiderX

Fraps FPS counter would break yes but what else?

Nate Kerkhofs

@RedRiderX I didn't say screen recording doesn't work, I said FRAPS doesn't work with UWP

Unionhawk

@RedRiderX I don't know, maybe there's something incredibly stupid going on

Nate Kerkhofs

at least according to badp

ardaozkal

... I can't get video output.

Matter of fact: out of anything.

Unionhawk

21:32

good job Jimmy

ardaozkal

no, like my obs is broken

oh still no

I'm on a semi-sli build (yay awesome laptop manifacturers, combining intel onboard GPU with external GPU), that causes some windows to not show up, might be the reason.

Unionhawk

I don't think that counts as SLI

ardaozkal

that is why I called it semi sli

Multiple cards, but with more cons than pros.

Unionhawk

That's just a standard CPU/GPU build

Is there a CPU without an onboard GPU?

ardaozkal

@Unionhawk except that I can't disable the CPU one.

*neither

Nate Kerkhofs

21:36

@ardaozkal oh joy, you have the same issue as I have

Unionhawk

Except you use your nvidia settings or amd settings as applies

You. Fool.

ardaozkal

@Unionhawk no, I have to use intel's terrible UI.

Nate Kerkhofs

@Unionhawk Have you used a computer like that yet? I use one myself

ardaozkal

I only see these on Nvidia

Nate Kerkhofs

@ardaozkal go to Manage 3D settings

Unionhawk

21:37

@ardaozkal MANAGE 3D SETTINGS, SELECT THE PROGRAM, HIGH PERFORMANCE GPU

IT'S NOT THAT HARD

JIMMY

Nate Kerkhofs

You can even configure it to use the Nvidia GPU as default

Unionhawk

Yes

This will reduce battery life though

Nate Kerkhofs

Thing is, that doesn't always work

ardaozkal

I might change my name to jimmy on another SE and change my main chat acc to that, just to make uni right.

But as of now, isuniwrong.com

Nate Kerkhofs

For example, I still have problems running some games because of it.

ardaozkal

21:39

(trying obs with minecraft w10 on Nvidia only)

Nate Kerkhofs

Sleeping Dogs had issues, for example

ardaozkal

@NateKerkhofs really? I played it neatly on my end.

Unless if you mean the definitive one, that one was terrible as in terms of performance

Nate Kerkhofs

@ardaozkal I do commit that it might be caused by me having first uninstalled a bunch of software because I thought it was bloatware, like Nvidia Optimus

but I've reset my laptop sinc ethen

ardaozkal

ok, my end is problematic, still at everything. Anyone wants to try downloading MC:W10 Edition (demo) from store and try it with OBS game and window capture?

Nate Kerkhofs

@ardaozkal I'll try it on my desktop with just a dedicated GPU

Not sure how to use OBS though

ardaozkal

21:44

It is not that user friendly, but is very configurable.

Nate Kerkhofs

What's the difference between Classic and Studio?

ardaozkal

No idea.

Right click on sources box, pick window/game capture, pick the game, then press preview stream.

Nate Kerkhofs

So when I sleect "start recording", it just shows a black screen in the preview

and the flv itself is also black

Unionhawk

Yeah that's a big negative

fredley

Wait. Just. A. Second.

ardaozkal

21:50

@NateKerkhofs also try screen recording

Nate Kerkhofs

Meanwhile, I can stream The Bridge just fine

ardaozkal

Tried that as well
