@twobugs if you want to do that, you need to jump through some hoops
last times they did that, you had to buy both the CE and the normal digital upgrade, but you'd then get a normal edition key once you unlocked them both that you could give to a friend
They've done that for like 3 or 4 expansions now
Bleh, that's annoying
Naturally since I live in a neighbouring city I see none of that
Thanks for the info though @Nzall
np
20:04
I mean, I'll live without the physical CE I suppose
But they're usually pretty nice
Will you?
thing is, what is it exactly you want from the physical CE?
A sense of "muh thing" to fulfill my lizard brain desires
@TWOBUGS IS ACTUALLY @TWOLIZARDS: DATA ACCEPTED?
@Unionhawk DATA CONFUSED
20:06
So BoJo apparently has been avoiding the US taxes he owes for quite some time
@twobugs no, I mean, is it just that you want the box to display on your shelf?
lol
I didn't realize he's an american expat
@twobugs BoJo owes taxes too? he keeps getting better and better
@Nzall Basically, but I like reading the artbooks
No shit, born NY
20:07
That one picture of him is really making the rounds
SO HE'S LITERALLY
AN IMMIGRANT
@twobugs if you're lucky, you might find someone selling it on Ebay
WHAT A GUY
@Nzall I'll probably just "acquire" scans of it at some point
@twobugs aye, avast
20:07
@Unionhawk Parallel universe Donald Trump
@twobugs make a friend with the CE, get them to scan it for you
@Unionhawk I don't feel bad about pirating something if I'm paying for it but I don't get it because "something something digital"
In a parallel universe, Donald Trump moved to the UK and did basically the same thing
if you're lucky, they'll do it for free
@twobugs Yes
20:08
I mean, it's the same price. Blizzard you have the pdfs because you guys made it!!!
Why can't they do it for the digital
Spoiler alert they can
BUT WHY AREN'T THEY
@Unionhawk #donaldtrump2016
It's because they don't have a good way of preventing piracy if they're digital
#makeblizzardgreatagain
We're gonna build a hyooge wall to keep demon hunters out.
20:10
@Unionhawk #makeurmomgreatagain
@Unionhawk in a parallel universe @Wipqozn is not the worst
I mean, suppose they allowed you to download a PDF. What's to stop you from just posting that PDF on a torrent site somewhere?
At least with physical-only things you have to make do with low quality scans
Makes sense, right?
Because they don't want those artbooks to be distributed to those that didn't pay for them
Just put "OC PLS DON'T STEAL" on it
that'll work
@Nzall I get that, but I just feel like this is the worst of both worlds
Also I really like your Gravatar because it makes me imagine Garrosh as Orc Hitler, But Gay
@Unionhawk so you're saying you're going to rely on people's honor? You're talking about players of a game that will literally yell "abortion failure" at other players because they did the boss slightly wrong
20:13
(Since he was already Orc Hitler)

Q: Does it really matter which starter you pick?

EsqarrouthYour starter pokemon become useless immediately when you level up and catch stronger pokemon. Does picking a starter pokemon give you some kind of bonus at some things? Or is it just an irrelevant tutorial thing?

Q: Does hand-to-hand favor different SPECIAL attributes than ranged combat, and how?

JoshDMFallout Shelter recently added melee / hand-to-hand weapons to the game. How do SPECIAL stats enhance hand-to-hand attacks as opposed to SPECIAL attributes enhancing ranged weapon (gun) attacks? Is there a difference, and if so, what is it?

Q: How to efficiently use stardust in pokemon go?

EsqarrouthSince stardust seems to be the limiting factor in how much you can improve your pokemon, I wanted to know the most efficient way to use stardust. I'm guessing if I use it on improving the average pokemon I have, like Pidgeot, I may not have enough later on to improve a Dragonite when I catch on...

and yes, i did that recently. Not proud of it
Nobody believed me last October when I joined my first battleground and said I was new to this.
@Nzall well how else will they learn to git gud?
If it's LFR all of those people deserve death anyway
20:13
Surprisingly I haven't gotten any repercussions for it
The LFR community is so toxic
TLDR; I didn't hold that farm for long.
If anything you were probably nicer than most other people
Every time I try to do LFR at least 3 or 4 people are blatantly trolling, 10 people aren't paying attention, 10 people are paying attention but have no idea what they're doing, and the remaining people are AFK
I would make an effort to play normal mode instead of LFR in Legion because LFR is so toxic and mentally taxing, but knowing my luck most groups probably wouldn't make it past the first boss
and never because of me, mind you.
Lfr?
20:16
@arda Looking for raid
Ah
I don't oppose it, I've just never ever ever had a good experience.
I keep hearing people say "you're the common part of all these groups, so it's probably you
swtor's lfg was pretty good when i played
It puts you in a super easy version of the raid. So people don't even try, or actively attempt to hamper each other.
About the only improvement they've made is personal loot
20:17
Lfg in D3 is pretty good
But that's like saying that the people who were in Hiroshima AND nagasaki were responsible for the nukes dropped on those cities, because they're the common part of the group
@Nzall that's 90% of the way to goodwin
@GodEmperorDune I never did that. what made it so good?
MINUS FIFTY DKP!
My problem with LFR is it's viewed as one of the intended progression paths, so a lot of people who don't want to do LFR get forced into it
It just makes for bad experiences all around
20:18
@GodEmperorDune I'm just making a comparison to the response most people give me when I'm complaining about pugging yet again
@Nzall you queued for a role in a particular instance (or random in a tier) and somehow always got matched with at least a person who knew what they were doing
@GodEmperorDune Seriously? If they managed to make that work in WoW, there would be far less complaining about LFR
Currently I got like 3 dozen people on my ignorelist who are so incompetent at LFR and LFG that I'd rather not play with them anymore
there were daily bonuses and stuff, as well as some popular quest chains that required you to run a certain instance
@Nzall i dunno if it was enforced in code by looking at past history or there were just enough experienced people doing it that it worked out
@GodEmperorDune WoW attempts that, it just fails miserably
They try to compensate by making the bosses absurdly easy
And giving you a stacking buff for each raid wipe
it was also basically the same instance if you did a premade or did entirely LFG
no scaling difficulty
it also might have helped that i generally queued as healer
20:22
One of my gripes is that LFR is the 4th difficulty setting of the same instance
(LFR, Normal, Heroic, Mythic)
some dps complained that they couldn't find an instance
The problem with WoW is that they actually don't want to force the competent people in LFR, and the compelent people don't want to do LFR either, so you end up with lousy groups, trolls, AFK players and just generally the kind of people that don't have the right mindset for raiding
i even had some groups that reconnected after the instance was done to do other instances or just general questing
Basically if you're always up to date you never have to do LFR. But LFR is basically required as a catchup mechanism
So if you ever fall behind, you're sentenced to LFR
@twobugs they're fixing that with legion
or trying to
all content can now drop gear up to end-game mythic quality
20:24
also i never did endgame progression type stuff, so i dunno if that colors my experience
Yeah, end-game stuff sounds interesting in Legion
but it was amazing for casuals

Q: How much stardust is needed to power up a pokemon?

EsqarrouthI realize the stardust amount changes by the CP of the pokemon, and maybe its trainer level? I would love to see a table which shows stardust a pokemon needs at various CP levels.

-1
Q: Is there a way to increase the chance of a rare Pokemon at a certain location?

J FritzlI'm particularly interested in increasing the chance of them appearing in my house. Incidentally, does the altitude of the location matter at all?

0
Q: Pickable objects use?

SardathrionScattered around the world, there are some items that Nat can pick up, look at, and then put back where he found them. Are they just decoration or do they serve some secret purpose? For example, there is a cutlass in a forge in the chapter where Nat and Sam enter Libertalia.

but the easier the content, the less likely the chance you get a high-end item
I think I'm mostly sold on Legion by now
20:24
@Frank do you do swtor groups and raids?
I'm just skeptical after some of their significant mismanagement in Warlords
@GodEmperorDune Nah. You need a subscription for that.
@Frank you did the one for the HK part though, right?
@Frank technically, you need a sub if you want to get gear from it, right?
the prison where SPOILER KOTOR CHAR is?
20:26
@Nzall You need the Artifact Authorization, which costs a buttload.
@GodEmperorDune No, you just need a hard mode flashpoint for that.
@twobugs what was your biggest gripe or 2 about Warlords?
@Frank i considered flashpoint an LFG then
@GodEmperorDune Okay, then yes.
As a new player, Warlords confused me.
Why am I the quest giver?
@Nzall It ended up being light on content and a lot of the content they produced was paced poorly
For example, Highmaul was pretty much pointless after BRF launched what... 3 months later?
Highmaul was basically it's own tier. Except it wasn't.
20:28
@twobugs Well, that seems to be mostly fixed in Legion. There is tons of content, both solo and group content
They did really weird stuff with professions
There are a lot of plotlines in Legion that just seem to go nowhere
The whole end of the expansion - the Mythic Archimonde cutscene - is absurdly abrupt and doesn't really answer anything
Oh and my biggest gripe by far: Mythic Archimonde drops only 1 mount. So have fun taking over half a year to get mounts for the whole group!
@twobugs I've mostly seen Cataclysm, MoP and WoD as filler expansions to setup Legion, now that I look back on the storyline
All right, calorie tracking app attempt 2 is a go
Mists I respect that they actually tried something new and original
like, all MoP and WoD do is setup the Garrosh Storyline
20:31
Cata I think was dumb
And I like MoP story as well
Even with my gripes on Warlords Cata is by far my least favorite expansion
Especially how it's actually layered with comments about war
people if you post a link with info, don't just say there is info here, actually post the info
Pandaria looked neat but I was too overleveled for the content and starting a new character to get there seemed like a loooong effort.
20:32
Warlords just ended up feeling like filler, which in developer interviews they have basically admitted
It's there just to bridge the cap from Mists to Legion
By late November the guild I was with exploded. But it was a very nice place to explore.
Okay, let's see if I can get at least ONE pet done this week
I think I'm going to work on pet and mount collecting after getting all my characters to 100
Anyway, going home time

Q: Pokemon go: more than one Pokemon in a gym

ZnazIs it possible to deploy more than one Pokemon in a gym? And how many gyms can you be in?

Q: Why has my Avatar in Pokémon GO disappeared? My accounts are intact

Question EverythingMy Pokemon GO Avatar has disappeared. All my accounts and Pokemon are intact but where my character should be walking around the there's just a little shadow.. what's going on??

Q: throwing the ball: smaller circle vs closer to the center of the circle

MathStarterI played Pokemon Go quite hardcore recently, and I just reached level 23. One thing I still can't convince myself is that does throw a ball closer to the certain of the circle give you higher chance to catch the pokemon? Of course I know that the smaller the circle is, the higher chance I will h...

Fuck you reliquary of souls...
I need 6 more pets from raid bosses, and most of them are just a bitch to get
20:37
@Nzall are your souls insufficiently reliquaried?
For one of them, I need to change my talents and equip a low level weapon because it first requires me to hit it with enough frost attacks, then hit it enough times with physical attacks in a certain time to shatter it
Viscidus if you did vanilla wow
ewwwwwww
i think pets are just wow devs trolling players
and because I'm a paladin, I actually need to shift around a couple of talents and equip a weapon with a frost damage proc enchant
I don't even know how I'm going to do that one in Legion because a bunch of my attacks are turned from physical to Holy damage
Then I got the 2 last ones in Karazhan, which require me to to through the entire dungeon, beat the FUCKING CHESS event (usually after 3 or 4 attempts), then go back down all the way
@Nzall oh fuck kara, for sure
I need 1 of the fragments of Reliquary of souls, which actually drops 3 pets and always drops the wrong one for me
20:41
I kind of want to try the trial of WoW
but otoh, Overwatch and Elite are games I like already so /shrug
I will love OW more when we get new map(s).
@GodEmperorDune Especially chess event. Like, really. it's the only boss in WoW that I can think of that is harder to solo 15 tiers later than it was with a full group at level
@MadMAxJr ANAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
And then I need both pets from Mount Hyjal, which means sitting through 30 minutes of wave-based battles.
BADASS SNIPER LADY WITH AN EYEPATCH
20:43
She's nice too.
COOLEST HERO
And sights her scope correctly for a one eyed person.
Like, the first 16 waves aren't that bad because you can just kill them where they spawn, but then you reach the Orc base, and you got do deal with enemies that come from 3 different directions and can even spawn at random locations in the base
Thus making her more talented than Solid Snake.
you got another 16 waves of that
20:44
Is like %33 of screen not visible?
No it's actually a very nice scope
Not scope, I mean non scope view
It doesn't really give you very bad tunnel vision at all, the sides are pretty transparent
No, it's fine
It Is A Video Game
It looks more like a reflex scope than a real rifle scope honestly.
20:45
Which makes sense given her lack of depth perception.
@Nzall yeah those themed battles seem fun the first time you play them then get so tedious after that
Yeah, Ana Amari was scope shot and presumed killed
But the RULE OF COOL(TM) will not result in Blizzard gimping the player with character disabilities.

Q: Will i get banned if my Eggs are hatching without walking

TerryI've noticed that the distance travelled on my eggs is constantly rising, even when my phone is sat firmly on my desk. I've worked out that it takes roughly 6 minutes for each 0.01km, so over my average work day of 8 hours, I would be gaining around 0.8km without moving, maybe 1.0 if I pick it ...

Q: Making a nickname in Pokemon Go

MikeWhy can't I give myself a nickname? I have already tried about 50 names? Any suggestions? This is for Pokemon Go. I have tried many American names and nonsense names.

20:46
But apparently she's fine except you know the whole missing an eye bit
Her head probably whistles when she runs.
@Lazers2.0 maybe walk?
I walk 1km in 15 mins
GPS wander happens to everyone
As long as you're not, like, crossing oceans or some shit
Idling at km/HR rate of 0.1 is very inefficient
20:47
@Unionhawk if she shot herself in the face, wouldn't that restore the eye?
Unless HR is heartrate. That is efficient
@GodEmperorDune No, biotic technology doesn't work that way
Biotics can stabilize, but not really restore very well
Not that well, anyway
tracer can time travel but they can't fix a missing eye
20:48
I mean, they probably could
Dr. Zeigler has a damn resurrect
0/7 weakest lore
@GodEmperorDune that is a bug
Read the lore dammit
It Is A Video Game
/shrug
@arda wait @twobugs is in overwatch lore?
@Unionhawk You remind me of matpat
20:50
But yeah, Tracer moving in and out of reality was an accident in an experimental time-warp plane
@GodEmperorDune yes
@arda No I'm basically the opposite
"THIS MUST BE RELATED TO REAL LIFE SOMEHOW" - matpat
@Unionhawk sounds like a retcon because of the butt thing
@Unionhawk that reminds me of big hero 6
source: "CREEPERS ARE PLANTS??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????‌​?????????"
@GodEmperorDune Nope
20:50
@Unionhawk wat
This was already a thing
Don't forget guys
It's a theory
A gaaame theory
tracer's butt being too shapely was in a different dimension
gets fired
Out of a cannon
And not one of those wimpy pressurised air cannons. No a 30cm radius steel and gunpowder cannon
20:52
Q: Does my egg progress while I'm fired out of a Cannon?
With rifling.
@GodEmperorDune So Tracer was a test pilot for an experimental aircraft called the slipstream. It was designed to time jump or some shit. Except it malfunctioned and Lena Oxton found herself literally disconnected from reality, jumping in and out. Fortunately for her, Winston developed a technology that would anchor her to the timeline, and allow her to control this as a thing.
@Unionhawk hence she looks like iron man
@Unionhawk who is lena oxton?
20:53
That's Tracer's real name
tracer's pilot?
Tracer is not a giant mech. That's D'Va
And she is a starcraft pro
Wasn't it some undetermined game?
I remember as sc2
20:54
what does D'Va stand for?
@Unionhawk It was designed to teleport
@GodEmperorDune Diva
Whatever, yeah
She was a starcraft pro in the closed beta... It got revised later on.
@GodEmperorDune her nickname
20:54
She has a starcraft profile page somewhere.
@GodEmperorDune D.va is I assume her Starcraft handle
@arda official story currently says no such thing
she's literally a pro starcraft player from korea
Dva#1337
@Unionhawk a bit racist
20:55
@GodEmperorDune Yup
She has high APM, which was needed for the MEKA corps
Apm?
there are 51k people watching other people play Pokémon Go
Actions per minute
Which makes me wonder why her control interface isn't a mouse and keyboard with lots of queuing actions on her hud.
APM = Actions Per Minute.
20:56
Ah
That's right, they turned to professional gamers to pilot MEKA units after they lost drone control
@arda measure of starcraft efficiency
@Dragonrage they are twitch streaming pokemon go?
@GodEmperorDune yes
Because apparently D.Va had to fight giant sea Kaiju and totally isn't a piece of Pacific Rim fanfic.
@Dragonrage wtf
20:56
@twobugs when are you streaming pokemon go?
-1
Q: Where can I get the Android Pokemon go app?

Jack MaddingtonI've seen a post about Pokemon go by a friend on Facebook but when I searched on Google play I saw all sorts of apps except for one named Pokemon go which is what I was looking for. Can someone please provide a link? Is this a free our a paid app, and is it just designed so that people burn gasol...

@MadMAxJr giant mechanical sea Kaiju
Ok, whoever is using the lure here needs to stop. I still have work to do, and now I need more pokeballs.
I have only 14 normals left, and no more greats.
20:57
@Sterno so old
so appropriate to be posted by you
Your dad is old!
@Sterno yes he is
your burns are so old they don't even merit a cc @Wipqozn
