Q: Wowhead tooltip support for World Of Warcraft questions

BrantIt would be great to have Wowhead tooltips on world-of-warcraft questions. It requires linking this JavaScript, which in turn loads this script and this stylesheet. The script scans the page for any links pointing to *.wowhead.com and adds tooltips when they are moused over that display the item...

That's shown as a related question on Sepia Lazers
Makes me kinda shocked that nobody has developed a 'lightweight tooltip' thing for WoW at least
@StrixVaria I don't think I agree with Sunshine being a space opera.
@StrixVaria Arthor C Clark's The Fountain of Paradise. Ursula K. Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness. Any post-apocalyptic / alt history fiction.
I guess I don't really see the point of asking an anonymous gaming question.
Just off the top of my head
I just shaked a book expecting it to light up :/
14:03
And almost all short stories are by definition not space opera :P

Q: Clash Royale - Arena 4 & 5 deck

SydneySniperMy current deck: Hog Rider (Level 3) Prince (Level 2) Barbarians (Level 7) Skeleton Army (Level 1) Minion Horde (Level 6) Arrows (Level 6) Fireball (Level 4) Spear Goblins (Level 6) However, I managed to get Zap (Level 5), Freeze Spell (Level 1) and PEKKA (Level 1). My question is (a) Which o...

I should stop preferring ebooks (or read this magazine on my kindle (once I get a replacement))
@twobugs "How do I install this nude mod for Skyrim" would likely be one someone would want to ask anonymously.
@Fluttershy Hm, fair enough.
@PrivatePansy I also tend not to read or care about sci fi in general.
14:04
I don't think the anonymous part would be the problem, though :P
@StrixVaria I find this true for me as well, at least from a literary perspective. I love sci-fi movies, but books are hard for me to read.
I really like some sci-fi books but it really depends. I like Asimov a lot and some people scoff at him
@twobugs Asimov is one of the three SF grandmasters, so no, I don't generally think people 'scoff' at him. Or if they do, then they probably won't enjoy SF as a genre in general
I've tried reading Ancillary Justice twice now, and both times I've been so bored I thought I was going to fall asleep on my kindle.
@PrivatePansy I've actually seen a lot of people say very dismissive things of him.
14:09
@twobugs I can't really find fault with him. He's fiction is very influential, progressive, and widely read. It's mostly hard SF, but he has some great soft SF stories too.
@PrivatePansy I haven't tried reading Asimov in a long time, but even as a teenager I found his style to be very dated.
People argue that he can't write action so all his characters just talk, dismiss him as having written "too many stories" (yes, that's a thing), etc.
He was certainly influential; there is no argument about that.
"what the heck kind of name is asimov - unamerican!" - random Internet guy, probably
But I can see people liking modern sci fi but not liking Asimov.
14:11
@StrixVaria Okay, yes, I think that is one valid criticism
His writing style is a bit archaic
His style is definitely dated - he started like 70 years ago
I don't like reading old fantasy like Tolkein for the same reason.
ugh, reading TOlkein is painful
Personally, I would rather read a dated author than a Literally Insane author like OSC outside of Ender's Game
I got through books 1+2 of LOTR, but just couldn't finish 3
14:12
OSC just goes off the deep end continually
@twobugs Speaker for the Dead was pretty good too, but that guy is the worst.
the world and chracters he made are great, but his writing is just so...slow, and boring
like the actual style itself.
The entire Ender's Shadow series is a soapbox for his political views.
@StrixVaria should I accept an edit on a duplicate question if the edit doesn't make it not dupe?
Yeah I'll give you Speaker. I think Xenocide is where it goes completely batshit
14:13
@ardaozkal Ask on meta.
I've read Ender's Game. I've been meaning to read ender's Shadow, but I doubt I ever will. Just liked the idea of the same story froma different POV.
Orson Scott Card is awful. I read one of his books a while back that was apparently the fourth book in the Ender series, and it was shit.
The Gods Themselves is a 1972 science fiction novel written by Isaac Asimov. It won the Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1972, and the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1973. The book is divided into three main parts, originally published in Galaxy Magazine and Worlds of If as three consecutive stories. The book opens at chapter 6, segments of which appear between chapters as the narrative proceeds through chapters 1 to 5. In effect, chapters 1 to 5 are flashbacks in the narrative of chapter 6, giving the history leading up to the present time of chapter 6. Chapter 6 then concludes, and the story proceeds...
I still think that this is one of his most underrated novels
@Fluttershy Everyone has a sklightly different opinion, but the only thing people gree on is that Enders Game is good and trhat OSC is a complete douchenugget
Speaker for the Dead and Enders shadow are the only books I've been told are worth reading aside from Game, and I've had just as many people tell me they're trash
Moral of the story is that video is cool
14:17
@Wipqozn I think I read Ender's Game in high school, and didn't care for it either. Finding out that OSC is a dick has since colored my opinion of anything he puts his name on.
I think Asimov included tri-gendered aliens just to annoy the critics who say he can't write aliens properly
@PrivatePansy He did and it's awesome
I love Asimov
@PrivatePansy I feel like this is such an odd criticism.
I'm of two minds on the 'not able to write aliens' argument
I don't feel like many writers really go aliens well at all, so singling Asimov out is weird
But at the same time I can understand why you want good aliens in a sci-fi universe
How does one write aliens "well" when we've never even met aliens and thus have no notion of what aliens should be?
14:23
@Yuuki You gonna be around this evening?
@Yuuki Just make them interesting? I dunno.
I mean you have all kinds of arguments and speculation about what form aliens would even take
Looks like it'll be movie night this weekend
@Yuuki I think the aliens in SF are as much as anything else in plot devices and things that should set you thinking
@Fluttershy Maybe? My classes end late-ish, but I have my laptop and I'm usually home within 15-20 minutes anyways.
I hope I don't forget
14:25
While the stereotype is just little green man
You could argue that aliens would probably be at least superficially similar to humans, since we know this is a blueprint for life that sorta works
But at the same time there's no reason to assume they'd have similar culture, and you could argue our view of the 1.5-2m humanoid is very biased and shortsighted :P
@Yuuki Gotcha. I was going to see if you wanted to play Cho'gall in HotS. He's free until tomorrow, and I haven't had a chance to play him yet, since it takes a party of two.
I like to think that my question inspired this tweet.
@CraigChristDoto bug reports: http://goo.gl/forms/6FfoovesP6 and yes magnetic ring effects do stack
@Fluttershy I'm only L13 so I can only queue as Cho.
@Yuuki That's fine. You'll be the feet, and I'll be the caster. :P
@Yuuki Even though I know he tweeted in reply to someone else.
14:27
@Fluttershy That sounds... interesting
@twobugs It is! From a technical standpoint, it's pretty unheard of for a moba.
Hold on, is this a... Multi crew champion?
Hero, whatever the fuck
I'm almost curious enough to install HotS
Cho'gall is a two-headed ogre. So, two people play him. One plays the melee tank, Cho, and the other plays Gall, the caster.
And the person who plays Cho does the walking.
14:28
The best things are when April Fools jokes end up as real things
@Fluttershy I've been cheesing AI with Sgt. Hammer even though I know I won't be able to do nearly as well against actual people.
(They joked about a playable two-headed ogre in WoW years ago with a similar concept, glad that they were able to realize it)
Apparently, he has an insane amount of health to make up for the team being a character short. A team won their Heroes of the Dorm match yesterday thanks to Cho'gall.
@Yuuki Sgt. Hammer is a ton of fun against bots. lol I'm at 6100 gold right now, and can't decide if I want to buy her, or save for a 10k hero.
@Unionhawk Yes.
The only time I've been beaten on the leaderboard as Hammer was when I was being too cocky and there was an Abathur on the team.
You are not going to troll me into playing HotS but I might as well just buy Overwatch
We're at 1-1
14:31
@Unionhawk They also have a hero/champion whose entire playstyle is to sit in a random bush and throw minions down a lane and buff his allies.
@Yuuki Yeah, Hammer can be hard to beat, especially when it comes to siege damage.
@Yuuki @Unionhawk And let's not forget The Lost Vikings. Three separate entities controlled by one person.
@twobugs But... HotS is free and Overwatch costs money... what?
I think I tried playing Raynor? He seems like a carry, you have to get really farmed as him (or maybe use other skills, hell if I know)
@Yuuki That's why I said playing HotS!
@Fluttershy Eh, Dota 2 did that a lot with the various "make a clone" dudes. And especially Phantom Lancer.
And Meepo.
Control four dudes.
@Yuuki I know nothing about Dota 2. I tried playing it twice, and I hated it. It was too slow for me.
14:34
@Fluttershy Between the clones and stuff, I honestly feel like Dota 2 embraces its RTS heritage more than any other MOBA.
There's a lot more micro involved with playing Dota 2 than playing, say, League or HotS.
DOTA2 totally does. You need micro to effectively play PL or Brood
If you don't micro effectively as Brood you're just feeding the other team. Literally. Her abilities make little guys the enemy can kill for extra gold/exp
I am terrible at RTS games, so maybe that's why I hate it so much. <_<
@twobugs Same with Meepo.
Oh, I played Li Li too in HotS. She's a pretty fun support

Q: Should I accept an edit on a closed question if it won't help it to be reopened?

ardaozkalSay that you got a nice edit in the edit review queue, however the question is closed and won't be opened over that edit. If I accept it, the question will go to reopen queue for no reason at all- it won't be reopened over that edit. If I reject it, the user that spent time editing will lose th...

14:35
@Yuuki Ah, I'm not as familiar with Meepo
@twobugs Li Li is best Li. I prefer Lt. Morales for support though. Still having tried Tyrande, but she seems fun.
Sevarog comes out tomo in Paragon
@GnomeSlice ye
You have 3-4 clones who are almost literally paper (think Murky). Each one can gain gold and experience so you can level faster if you split them up.
He's big
was not expecting him to be a tank
14:36
And if any of your clones die, all of your clones die.
@Yuuki Murky is a bizarre concept for me. Definitely a creative character.
@Fluttershy Support is really the only role that doesn't frustrate me in mobas
@Fluttershy He kinda plays like Abathur, I've heard. Hide your egg somewhere and split push all day long.
And even then, it frustrates me plenty.
@twobugs I like play on support, or ranged carry. I play a lot of Valla in HotS.
14:37
Hide your egg in one bush and bait your enemies to collapsing on you in another lane. Die, respawn in 5 seconds, and hard-push the lane your egg is in.
why do you play mobas then
@Yuuki That makes sense to me, but I've never seen him played like that.
@GnomeSlice I don't :P
Oh, ha
I tried Valla a bit. She seemed cool but meh

I think the game where I played was with my friend who just screws around sometimes and ends up costing us games
@twobugs By level 13-ish, she can easily burn down multiple people quickly. It's fun. A beefy tank like Johanna will destroy her though.
@Sterno three

Q: What are 11 creatures that would be good for this idea?

AnonymousSo I had this dumb idea for a game-of-life type board game about fallout 4, but I need help for it. I need 11 creatures in order that would, y'know, kind of represent the commonwealth. As in radroach as 1, and deathclaw as 11, I need them in order from some strong as 11, medium as 5 or 6, and wea...

I'm playing DS2 right now. I just killed Agdayne
That guy is a dick
He was all "I'll punish anyone who brings out a light" and I'm all "No problem, I don't have one" and then a hollow with a torch wanders by, so he murders me instead of the hollow. If he's that indiscriminate in his hatred, he doesn't deserve to live.
Hope I didn't need anything from him
I'm playing Bound by Flame
It's a lower budget game made by a studio I really like
@Sterno oh yeah, you gotta kill that hollow or you'll aggro him
Really shitty, since that hollow guy was a totally read dude
RIP Torch dude
14:53
I didn't kill the hollow. I killed Agdayne. The hollow was a bro.
Bros don't kill bros
@Sterno I know
@Sterno They toally do
(Well, actually, I may have murdered the hollow with an errant hammer swing, but it wasn't intentional. I guess that makes it more like manslaughter than murder.)
@Sterno He's not requried. He just sells some loot.
Opnly thing you probably woudl have killed about is he sells a shield that grants you stamina recovery
I can't wait to die in DS3
@Sterno Same
So pretty sure I'm doing dex build
but I'm also considering faith now....
14:58
I'm trying not to plan it. Since I'm going deprived, I'll just go with whatever weapon "feels good" first and then stat for it
Broken Sword +10 build!
@Sterno Yeah, figured
I'm thinking about a starting class
DS2 was really, really fun starting out with fists and being excited by every weapon I'd find
"A dagger! Oh fuck yes!"
I should play dark souls ever
you don't start with fists
I own it, haven't played it
15:05
@GnomeSlice yeah, don't you start with a broken sword?
@GnomeSlice In Dark Souls 2 you do
Deprived doesn't start with anything
@GnomeSlice #rekt
oh not hey do get some shitty armor it looks like

Q: How do I easily get the Phoenix Blaster?

Alloriginalgamerz GGBIn Terraria I can't find a Phoenix Blaster in dungeons. I have made 3 world's with dungeons but can't find one in a chest. Is there a reason or another easier way? I need it to kill the WoF.

15:08
I didn't want those 39000 souls anyway
@Unionhawk It's definitely worth playing. Not worth being as hype about the third installment though. For me, at least. I love the first one, but lost a lot of progress thanks to a bug, so I haven't been back to it.
DS1 Deprived starts with some stuff, but not in DS2. Well, other than really, really shitty armor
I was so close to Bed of Chaos, too. :(
@Sterno Makes me tempted to start with deprived tbh
And I think he was the last boss I needed before Gwyn.
15:10
@Wipqozn I'd do it for 3. I mean, worst case if you have the fun of finding stuff as you go, then restart with the class you really want a few hours later and clear all the same content in 20 minutes
That's more or less what I did with 2
HMMMM TEMPTING
Well you just made my decision all the harder @Sterno .Thanks.
I wish I was home playing Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus. Instead, I'm stuck at stupid work with nothing to do because we have no internet.
Well, look at it this way. Deprived is really only fun if you don't know where to find good gear in 10 minutes anyway, so if you want to have the fun of Deprived, you have to do it first
Whereas starting out as a knight, thief, or whatever, is never going to feel all that different the first time or the 30th

Q: How can you find out the uplay account which is linked to Steam?

h0ch5tr4355There are some games, which are buyable on Steam (in my case Assasin's Creed Revelations), but require a uplay account. How can you find out which uplay account is linked inside Steam? It seems that the CD key is already taken and so I guess it's another uplay on which I activated the game (I u...

@Sterno That's a point
15:22
I might have to install dark souls 1 while all of you are playing 3
@Wipqozn The other thing to consider is that if you don't start deprived, I'll mock you forever as a lesser gamer.
@Sterno Zeus damn it
@Unionhawk Yes
Decisions are tough
I need to finish Dark Souls 2 but I'm told right after The Last Sinner or whatever boss I'm on now is some really bad part of the game which is kind of sapping my interest
@twobugs Where are you?
Sinner's Rise boss
15:27
Sinner's Rise is annoying for sure, but it's a really short "dungeon".
That boss seems really annoying and I tried to do a respec because Dex was just not very interesting
Have you lit the torches?
Because Last Sinner is a lot more annoying if you haven't lit the torches.
I haven't, but some people have said it makes little difference
Mmm... might be different in SotFS.
But in vanilla, Last Sinner is annoying with no torches because the lock-on distance is tiny.
Losing lock-on is still a problem
15:29
Like, you can only backroll once before you lose lock-on.
@Sterno Oky now I'm SERIOUSLY consideringh Deprived, because that would be a completle new experience
But my biggest issue was not being able to hit the boss because of the seeming 99% chance of a dodge cancel any attack animation
With a longer range weapon that's not really an issue thankfully
damn it @Sterno. You're making this decisin more difficulty by the day.
Bound by Flame is kind of neat. It's not amazing or anything but it's some weird Dark Souls/Game of Thrones-ish fanfic
fuck okay
ALRIGHT @Sterno
HAVE IT YOIUR WAY
DEPRIVED IT IS
15:32
(The developers also made this Game of Thrones game a few years back)
You make a convincing argument
@Wipqozn Something something Burger King.
And you're right. I can always just restart if I decide I'd like to do a different character and catch up pretty quickly.
Also I level up basically every 3 fights. The max level is apparently 27? So I guess the game is pretty short.
@twobugs urmom is pretty short
cc @Wipqozn
15:35
@twobugs Wait, what?
Actually my mom is of pretty decent height for a lady
Are we still talking Dark Souls 2?
@Yuuki Bound by Flame
@twobugs oh, that's cool
Haha, someone did 1-70 in Diablo 3 in 33 seconds
(Required a ton of set up, of course)
15:40
Just convinced a coworker to buy dark souls 3 by using the @Sterno method, aka I told him if he doesn't buy it I'll remind him of his cowardice everyday
@yuuki light the torches. I downed sinner first try with them lit. And you've seen me play. I'm awful
@Wipqozn I WILL PLAY 1 INSTEAD BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I DID WITH XCOM 2
@Sterno cc @twobugs
DEAL
WITH
IT
I don't want to deal with IT. They'll just put me on hold for five hours.
15:41
@Yuuki yeah, him
@Yuuki tell them you'll set the building on fire
we might need a ds3 chat room soon
@GodEmperorDune "I will kill a hostage every sixty seconds I am kept on hold"
"You can stop this"
@Sterno Notuntil after launch. Until then we chat here to make others buy the game.
@Unionhawk nah, property damage carries less of a prison sentence
15:44
todo: oil change, mouse battery, grade stuff
Yeah going deprived. Decision made.
actual do: stardew valley, probably
At least for the next 5 minuts it's made.
eyy, anyone know of a good way of telling file compression method if I have multiple examples of said files?
@Unionhawk change your oil. Oil change is super important to do.
15:45
@Wipqozn This
@Wipqozn Yeah, but on the other hand, I can do it for free and help my friend teach his automotive maintenance merit badge in a week
@Unionhawk Okay
But on the other other hand, it's already free since it's not my car
Just don't put it off forever. Bad for engine. Also your mom.
So get up you lazy idiot and have it done professionally
Okay
15:46
@Wipqozn argh i was working on a urmom response AND YOU RUINED IT

Q: What is the best position to hold during an elevator free fall?

LegatoI know it's a little crazy of a question, and hopefully nobody will ever need to try it out! Sometimes when riding an elevator, I find myself wondering - if the elevator cable fails and it starts to free fall, what should I do in order to increase my chances of survival? Should I sit upright to ...

there we go

Q: Where do I go to fight a massive mob of monsters with Flynn in the story?

LOL. NO.I stopped playing this game two years ago because I got distracted by other games and other hobbies, but I picked it up again and I'm trying to continue where I left off--so I'm trying to figure where I'm at in the story. I was last following this FAQ/walkthrough at this point: STORY -...

BUMP can anyone help meh or do I need to actually make a stackoverflow question?
Huh?
Oh.
I need to figure out compression method for several files, but idk what it is
@Dragonrage pls vtc (doesnt require a lifehack) this lifehackers. cc @fredley @Wipqozn @Sterno @djsmiley2k
Umm... context?
15:54
also: no header or usable file extension to tell
In any case, you are probably in the wrong place to ask that question.
Yeah, I was just hoping someone might now
*cries
@Wipqozn Nope, the wedding is in October
15:55
@Dragonrage You should post this in Lifehakc chat. They're super active there! (the oke is that they're not)
@Unionhawk I got Trump Supporters going all the way
Incidentally
So my bracket is looking great
Also I'm not sure f that should be closed or not.
I'd say yes, but is falling elevators an everyday problem?
I was worried by their matchup against White Terrorists though, but Congress is hopefully a shoe-in
Winner of Traffic/Weird Smell will also be easy to beat
@Wipqozn Do you live in <insert developing country with horrendous safety record>?
@Yuuki I might!
15:57
@Wipqozn it doesnt require a lifehack. also if you fall from any significant height in an elevator, you are going to die unless u are superman or something
@Wipqozn For me, I just need to wait until November.
@Dragonrage Even if you're two feet off the ground?
Well I brought it to negative score, so you're welcome
@Dragonrage I don't klnow man
@Yuuki *significant height. probably > 2 stories
If I was faling in an elevator the first thing I'd do is pop open Lifehacks.SE and hope thjere's a Lifehack to save my life
