eh, I'm old school. I prefer most things that are console-oriented. the fancy's nice, but sometimes I want something more stripped down.
another of the projects in my 'someday' queue is building a command line client for this system, although doing so is likely to have any number of weird side effects
plus there's almost no docs for the protocol, most of what I'm going to be going off of is another implementation, which I don't even know if they reverse engineered it or they had docs or what.
I don't even know how/if the authentication scheme would work. first pass would probably be read-only.
In The Old Republic, my main character has the armourmech crew skill. When I initially picked up the crew skill, the armourmech trainer offered me some crafting recipes, six of them.
Since that initial contact there've never been any new recipes available from the trainer whenever I've visited, ...
So far, I've used Stackoverflow in a read-only manner. I try to search long and hard before asking a new question (and I usually find answers without the need to ask new questions). But I would like to be able to upvote answers, and don't feel like searching for other questions to answer just t...
@agent86 Well, IRC is as pseudonymous as anything is. It doesn't have to be so tight as this system, but at least proper (pseudonymous) authentication on an account-basis and proper logging for channels that choose to enable it is a virtue.
I mean, I can imagine channels you'd rather not log, but if you use IRC to plan a project, for example, it'll be really helpful if you can permalink down to a message or series of messages.
@ArdaXi that's fine. saying you could change this system to make it more like what I want, or change that system to work more like I'd want is about the same to me.
I didn't design this though and I can't make changes to it, and the things I don't like about it are by design, so... I guess I use both imperfect systems and deal with their limitations :)
@agent86 But from a technical perspective, it's a lot easier to work with a protocol that has stuff like authentication as a built-in option, rather than a hacked-in option.
@Ullallulloo hm, I'm at 1,001 with about 400 actioned, and it hasn't popped. I thought perhaps I just misunderstood it or it was bugged, but it could just be taking its sweet time.
@RonanForman I would suggest we have a moment of silence, but I think it's more appropriate to have a moment of screaming HATZ and running around like we just don't care.
@Ullallulloo I think one of my friends played it and hated it, and I think @badp played it recently and loathed it... trusting my terrible memory though
my only hope is getting a bounty if I want to win. I've tried for a couple, now it's in some random user's hands as to who is #1 :) I don't mind coming in second place to him though. I had fun :D
I think that one coding horror article about implementing stack overflow in a weekend is apropos; just replace SE with IRC and 'sql tables' with 'sending a message'
tldr, My question is this: Is SWTOR a game that is heavily focused on players at the level cap, or is bulk of the game focused on characters that are still leveling?
And now a little of my boring backstory and bloody-minded opinion. (context)

I just found out (in the wiki) that there's a character called ??? in Binding of Isaac. However, the page doesn't say how to unlock him. I also haven't had immediate luck on google (try googling "???" =/), so here I am.
How do I unlock the "???" character?
Im of the impression that they have the same spawn rules as the rest of the hostile mobs. IE: the place has to be sufficiently dark... and thats about it. (they obvoiusly would have to 'fit' where the game places them as well)
The reason behind the question is I almost always (say 80% of the tim...
@FallenAngelEyes yeah, if you can tolerate the aborted fetuses and vagina enemies, it's a really excellent game formula. I do wish you could "save" a game in-progress, I think I have a ton of hours played on that game on steam because I'd just have to alt-tab out into the background after 20 mins of playing.
@GraceNote secretly? you keep using that word; I do not think it means what you think it means.
I didn't see an option to have 2 talent trees at my class trainer. Is this feature available for Death Knights?
