@Chippies @SaintWacko If you guys haven't done it yet I recommend checking out the invasion event in WoW. Pretty fun and painless, decent way to earn some catchup gear and some unique transmogs
@twobugs I'll have to look up the info on it, I just made a Demon Hunter, I'm still in the starting zone, but it seems quite enjoyable so far, I'm considering making it my main
since I still haven't figured out what my main is...
I'm going Demon Hunter
It sucks to have to start some things over from 0 (LIKE PROFESSIONS) but oh well
got to go sign for giving away 13~14k $ now, so Demon Hunter will have to wait for later...
The invasion event will be running up until Legion launches and they're going to gradually ramp it up
wtf. I've removed this breakpoint at least ten times now. and it keeps popping back.
@Chippies Yikes. What you buying?
12:11
@Arperum a house :P
downpayment + lawyer fees

Q: Pokemon go with android doesn't let me even log in

rafał grudzieńI have two options to log in with Google or trainer club. I choose Google and then nothing happens. Screen is with spinning poke ball in the middle of the screen and nothing. Tried reinstalling clearing cache even made full restore to factory setting. I'm on galaxy note 4 910T

Q: Difference between old Nearby and new Sightings?

ArceusMaster0493Recently, Pokemon Go released an update featuring a reworked Pokemon detection system -- changing "Nearby" to "Sightings". Is there any difference between the two?

Q: Pokemon Server issues or internet?

Vinicius NascimentoI'm from Brasil,i was using the app normaly,but since yesterday when i open my app with 3g(Brazil Claro)nothing loads and i'm with internet,at my home with wi-fi Works normal,i dont know if it is some servers problems in Brazil or something wrong with my cell(LG G3).Someone is having this problem...

Well grats + good luck on the house stuff!
@Wipqozn Man, this is almost like that time Ted Cruz was allowed to speak
@Chippies Grats! I walked around with a cheque of €45k or something the day I bought a house. That was scary as hell.
No I didn't steal that from the comments on that subredditdrama post
>_>
<_<
12:18
@twobugs Oh man, it's so much fun!
It's slowed down a little bit, but the first few after the patch were crazy
I hate these weekly riddles the social committee at my company sends out. This is the worst offender yet.
Especially the first one in Gadgetzan
It's super popular for some reason
> Q: The capital of Turkey is a long word. Can you spell it?
> A: It
@SaintWacko have you seen the luma dice update about another 4 weeks until they can start shipping :( ?
@Arperum Fuuuuu
12:22
@SaintWacko Yea.
@Arperum They do look amazing, though
That picture in the update is really cool
Stock photo of a cat we have clearance to use on-air and online and I don't know why we haven't. https://t.co/gpLNWWblic

@SaintWacko Yup, it's probably my favorite pre-expansion event so far
@fredley This "Other countries in Europe" place seems to be pretty good at getting medals
12:31
@sequoiad settings, display, there should be a safezone slider
@twobugs gah, I still have to wait another 5 and a half hours until I play the new stuff
That historical medal data stuff is interesting
You can see the rise and fall of certain nations as Olympic powerhouses
@arda there wasn't, at least that I remember on the xbox 360 version i had
@TimStone the best part is (assuming they're not lying) they finally did air it.
#BREAKING The curse is broken. https://t.co/fGdegjUeHh

Why is my local news station nowhere near as cool as KKTV11

@twobugs Because you are not in Colorado

Numbnuts 0910why doesn't my pokemon go work. ive been playing a lot recently and I found 2 problems. when im at home on the wifi the game runs great but when im on my data it doesn't work at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why is that problem number two each time I tap on a pokemon it zooms in and the display goes wh...

Q: Is there a way to go back in NMS?

TelestiaLong story short, I rushed a few jumps early in the game to finish a story mission. I then wanted to go back to a planet that was very rich in resources and whatnot, but I was unable. I didn't find a way to set a waypoint or anything similar from the discoveries page, and trying to point and clic...

Why are like %99 of American channels named like "**TV ##", * being letter, # being number?
@arda region naming is a thing on american radio i remember reading, where the first 2 letters are the broadcast location, possibly something similar for tv?
12:38
@arda every TV station in the US has a 3- or 4-letter call sign and a frequenct.
Considering the size of USA, makes sense
Wxxx or Kxxx (depending on where you are in the country)
Most channels here are national
@arda I can't even think of something that follows this pattern.
the number is the frequency of their carrier signal
12:39
@Wipqozn I demand a misery horse update
@arda Turkey is much, much smaller than the USA.
so a station like KKTV 11- KKTV is their call sign, 11 is their frequency
It's 0.5 AK
@StrixVaria ikno, hence I said that it makes sense for USA
12:41
I never really experienced over-the-air TV, so I'm not familiar with those channels or broadcasting restrictions.
West of Mississippi = K
East of Mississippi = W apparently
@sequoiad wat
All radio stations near me are Wxxx.
11, by the way, means they broadcast at a ~200mHz carrier.
12:41
@TimStone width of horse's ass probably to blame
@StrixVaria you live on the east coast somewhere? or at least, east of the mississippi river?
@TimStone I prefer to blame @twobugs
@KutuluMike I'm in NYC at the moment, although I live in NJ.
everything east of the mississippi is Wxxx; everything west of it is Kxxx
@fredley How about an update on this bear instead?
12:42
(I dunno if that's still true but it used to be, and TV stations rarely change their call signs)
same rules apply to AM and FM radio, but their station numbers are just their actual frequency, not a channel number.
@SaintWacko Your bear is now this anecdote
@KutuluMike I've only heard of this in the context of radio. I guess it makes sense for TV; I just never knew about it.
I learnt that off a youtube video theorising about the location of Springfield
@fredley Oh, I love that
@sequoiad Are... are people not sure where Springfield is?
He means Springfield in the Simpsons.
@fredley I have yet to watch beyond episode 2 seasons 2
@Wipqozn I prescribe more misery
I named a planet WipqoznSucks.

Things will escalate if he doesn't play Overwatch with me as promised.
@Sterno How is the game?
@Sterno Not my fault you're playing no mans sky instead of overwatch
WHOSE THE TRAITOR NOW
You guys should just play NMS together
12:50
Apparently it isn't actually multiplayer or something?
@fredley If I buy it I won't be buying it on the inferior platform like @Sterno did
@Wipqozn Pretty fun. It gets repetitive so I don't know that I'd expect it to last 40 hours or anything, and if you have a low tolerance for that the game would not be for you, but I've probably got 8-10 hours in and am still enjoying it even though I'm doing a lot of the same stuff.
It would be PC all the way
@Sterno cool, about what I expected
@Wipqozn I WAS PLAYING OVERWATCH LAST NIGHT
I even bumped an ulting Winston off the map. FELT GOOD
@KutuluMike Ohhh
12:51
@Sterno TRAITOR TO NMS
If it turns out NMS is moddable and some good mods come out, I'll buy it again for PC
With mods, this could be a really awesome game
@Sterno well I'll be home tonight, so I can crush your hopes and dreams then
@Sterno I blasted a warrior off lumber mill
I've been trying to play Overwatch but my daughter sleeping in a bed rather than crib, my recent focus on actually working on my novel, and my recent work schedule change that has me waking up at 5:30 have all aligned to make it difficult to find time.
@StrixVaria yup, I know exatly how you feel
I keep wanting to play, but then I want to play different video games or hang out with friends instead
totally the sme thing
12:53
Overwatch is still my go-to PC game, I just don't have much PC gaming time.
....totally...
@Unionhawk I will allow it
I'm still WTF'ing the guy who was like "lost to cheese" last night when his team had 3 hanzos so we switched to 2 winstons
2 Winstons is a little cheesy
They just synergize really well
It could be worse, they could be 5 d.vas complaining
12:58
@twobugs They went 3 hanzo. 2 Winstons isn't why they lost. 3 hanzo is why they lost
Yeah, I agree
1 reaper > 2 winstons
BUT IM A PRO HAZNO MAIN
- someone on that team, probably
@Sterno There will never be a shortage of stupidity, it seems
12:59
@Sterno because actually
Well 2 Winstons was a big thing in comp for a while
Their team was hanzo/hanzo/hanzo/ana/lucio/winston
Because by combining them you essentially have a highly mobile Reinhardt with strong burst
@twobugs +2 tracers is an important part of that
@twobugs It is, but reaper completey shuts it down, and @Sterno was playing in casual play soooooooooooooooooooo
13:00
@Wipqozn I'm sorry, do you even know what game this is?
Oooohhhhh burrrrnnnn
Anyway I don't think Reaper destroys 2 Winstons. He can put pressure on Winston, but it's a little more complicated since Winston is highly mobile
@twobugs Team Fotress?
I'm sure they deliver from Houston to Nova Scotia
No we're talking about Medal Call of Modern Wargunfield
13:02
@Sterno We can just send @Yuuki at that rate
@Unionhawk I'd be fine with a visit from @Yuuki
@twobugs Reaper will kill winston between him landing from a jump and being able to jump again.
I guess I should point out this was KOTH so it's not like people were all over the map
You mean your team wasn't fighting at their spawn?
Or otherwise not even close to the point?
@Sterno Right, but you don't jump onto him :) It does make Winston have to think more
13:04
So a big thing about No Man's Sky is that the developer always said "It's not a multiplayer game" but dropped heavy hints that the game did support two players running into each other, being able to see each other, etc.
But he always said "It's unlikely that will ever happen" (which is obviously someone not thinking straight)
So, day 2, 2 players got to the same system, streamed it. THey can't see each other.
No Man's Sky just sounds really strange
People are like "So, is there just nothing here despite what he suggested, or is it because the servers are overloaded"? Developer basically dodges the question.
There's a great idea there, but the implementation doesn't sound totally there
This pretty much summed it up:
it sounds exactly like the kind of game I would buy because it sounds interesting and it's sci-fi-ish and I'd play it and get bored in a few hours and then get depressed for wasting my disposable income on it
13:06

@Sterno they may have been in different lobbies, since I guess it was night time for one player but day for another? that's one theory folks have had for makes the dev not a liar
@Wipqozn You'd think he'd say that, rather than not address it at all.
@Sterno They needed the Glasses DLC
Yeah, even in elite (which IS a multiplayer game), sometimes instancing is weird
@Sterno yeah, which is why it sounds like it's just not a thing, or is broken right now
just something folks were tossing around, so thought I'd mention it
13:07
I THOUGHT I'D MENTION YOUR DAD
oh snap
@Sterno :(
but yeha, game was never meant to have multiplayer from wht I underrstood, which is kind of lame
Your dad has multiplayer.
alos, it blows my mind when I go "we can do X, but then Y will happen" folks go "that's fine", so I do X an then "OH MY ZEUS Y IS HAPPENING WHAT FIX FIX" me "that's...that's exactly what I told you would happen if I did X"
13:09
Dad mentioned! Done!
I charged an ulitimating Reaper off the edge of the map yesterday as Rienhart whilst yelling "I REGRET NOTHINNNNgggggg..." totally worth it
Wooo! Client listened! I was allowed to kick the "20 second unresponsive page" causing requestpile away.
@Wipqozn Doing X means they can tell their boss they're doing something about it.
They don't really care about other consequences; just that something is being done.
@sequoiad I saw that happen the other day, except, just, over there
I was just like "where did that death blossom g-- Oh. Thanks"
read from bottom to top - twitter
13:19
"online features" = "shared planet names"
yeah
sean is not a bad guy, but he is well, trying to say that his game is worthy of that hype, and it isn't.
@Sterno Ssssh. Not being critical. It's technically correct.
Didn't he get death threats the last time he mildly disappointed some people? I could appreciate not wanting to give straightforward answers if so, even if it's pretty useless for everyone else
tl;dr everyone is terrible burn it all down

@TimStone I'm really excited for Star Citizen for this reason
cc @Ash @LessPop_MoreFizz
Stexit
@Wipqozn ...LeakyNun?
@Wipqozn Lol, what
@twobugs Wait, for which reason specifically? :P
@Wipqozn Can't ping good
13:24
@LeakyNun That was an accident
@Wipqozn I know, lol
@TimStone The !!!!!HYPE TRAIN!!!!! derailment
@twobugs you folks just need more unique names
Incidentally, I am wearing my Star Citizen shirt that I received for KickStarting that game for Too Much Money and I still blame the robot
So I can tab autocomplete with less characters
@TimStone plz fix
Man @Jin hasn't been here in ages. He must hate us now.
@Wipqozn NEVER!
@TimStone And you didn't even get elite lifetime expansion pass either
@TimStone but plz :(
@Unionhawk I KNOW
That's why it's his fault
Instead you backed literally half life 3
13:25
I never met @OrigamiRobot but it sounds like he was a downright villain if he convinced people to donate to Star Citizen
If I had KSed that I would have been reasonably satisfied
Star Citizen is going to be super fun to play when it comes out when I'm old(er) and retired.
a game that will probably never release in the next 3-5 years, and when it does, will never live up to the hype
@twobugs No, it was his fault for not telling me about the Elite kickstarter instead
@TimStone and myself, of course, being the only two people who still care about that game even a little
13:26
@TimStone So he's still a villain
I got an email about how they're on the road to 2.5
...Alpha 2.5
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT EVEN?
@TimStone Oh I thought you meant Elite
Oh, no, but that's a good question
I was like "wait, didn't they just announce 2.2: Passenger Missions or whatever?"
Man, some of the updates in that game are now ancient history
Like, 1.1 wings, or whenever that was out
That was the best thing ever
Now it's ancient history
I can't wait for Yooka Laylee, the only game I've backstarted, to come out and not be a hgue disappointment like star citizen will be
cc @TimStone
13:29
@Wipqozn Did you play the toybox?
It's going to be a huge disappointment just like all the Rare platformers after BK1!
Hmm, this reminds me that I should take a look at the Universim to see how that's coming along
Unlike Star Citizen progress on that looks promising but I haven't poked at the latest releases
@Ronan No :/ My desktop has got some weird fucking issue where it keeps rotatin the camera to the left. I recently had the sme issue with antoher game too. I think I need to go through and uinstall some drives or something.
This is... weird. In Chrome, if you try to visit a page, get a 404, then refresh and it turns out the page doesn't have a <title>, the tab's title stays the same as the error page's

Q: Why can't I get poke balls from the poke stops on my son's account who is on holiday

kathyMy son is in Portugal on hloelidaly and can't find any poke stops so I logged in to his account here to walk to some local ones here and it won't give me any pike balls? Can anyone help?

Q: I don't like alts. What activity should I choose?

enkryptorEverybody in Eve Online says that you must have alts. But I don't want to, I'm content with my single character. I want to join a corporation and play with other people though. What game activities and what corporations should I choose from? And why do people create so many alts, is it really nec...

13:31
@Wipqozn Well I can't speak for content of the game yet, but it feels good to move around in it. Also responsive and such.
I really hope yooka laylee is good
I want someone to tell me I'm going to hell for my Rare platformer opinions =/
something still seems off about it to me
@GnomeSlice I'm in the same boat
I didn't like BK2 or DK64 very much
I'm not super hopeful for YL
I loved both of those
13:32
I really enjoyed dk64
especially the infamous DK rap
@twobugs More like two monsters, JEEZE
DK64 just felt like a mess, same as BK2
The new abilities in BK2 felt really janky and the level design just felt awful
The levels were definitely harder to traverse in 2
You had to take long routes to get places some times
And I'll agree DK64 felt kind of mashed together but it was still a lot of fun
BK was an almost perfect platformer imo though
13:35
BK1 is great
Anybody remember Glover
Yes Glover was cool as hell
I liked that game way more than it had any right to be liked
Yup, really weird and janky but a lot of charm and enjoyment to be had
If we're talking platformers, I'm seriously enjoying playing the Ratchet and Clank series.
13:37
@Ronan yeah I expected as much. Classic rare devs are people I have complete confidence in to deliver a Hugh quality game.
That's because it's excellent and I'll cut anyone who disagrees
yeah, Glover was a good laugh, for a bit anyway
@Frank Those are some of the best
Rare in those days was just amazing
@sequoiad agreed
13:37
Using my patented mod-diamond-dusted blade, of course
Pirates of New Horizons would have been fun if they'd finished it too
Hat in Time gonna be good I suspect
@twobugs yes. Dk64 opinion is acceptable though.
BK, Goldeneye, Diddy Kong Racing, Perfect Dark, Jet Force Gemini, Blast Corps
Most of (all?) the other cool 3D platformers that were in the works have been scrapped
@sequoiad I have a copy of blast corps. Rare ass game.
And hard as fuck
Any of you play Paperboy 64
Holy fuck that game was fun
DKR was my first N64 game
13:39
Basically I just hoping someone would tell me to go to hell so I could post the "This is fine" dog but you know what I DONT CARE
@twobugs huh, interesting. I think most folks though bk2 was better than bk. I haven't played 2 since the 64 days though. I replayed bk1 a few years ago though.
I do like Nuts and Bolts for what it is, people were too harsh on it for not being a Banjo platformer
@twobugs same
Although nuts and bolts still has a lot of problems
@Wipqozn See I barely played 2 as a kid, but I bought the HD version on XBLA
1 I played a ton as a kid but I still enjoy as an adult
@twobugs STARBAIT SETUP: DECLINED
13:40
The levels are way too small, and you basically can't even use really fast vehicles because there's nowhere flat enough to drive them
2 without nostalgia just felt like a trainwreck
@twobugs it's the same problem dragon age 2 had. It just wasn't what folks wanted from the series.
Everything was way more frustrating and convoluted, game forced tons of back tracking after you learned these dumb new moves
@Wipqozn Well the Dragon Age 2 problem is that it's a really bad game
It being a huge tonal shift is part of the problem
Maybe I'll revisit BK2 but it just rubbed me the wrong way repeatedly
I actually really enjoyed Nuts and Bolts
I like to 100% a world before moving on and that's literally impossible in BK2
13:42
after not expecting to
@twobugs worth finishing
But better if you use cheats
Also the permanent dragon kazooie transformation is fun
but yeah you had to come back to levels a lot of times
Do people say BK2 for Banjo Tooie?
Did BK1 not have any of that?
It's been forever since I played that one
I never played Banjo Tooie, but Banjo Kazooie is incredible.
@StrixVaria Play Banjo Tooie
It's better imo
Despite some issues
It also feels a lot darker which might throw you off a bit
13:44
@twobugs Yeah, it's not designed for you to do that, there are more cross level interactions.
Conker's Bad Fur Day though
@StrixVaria I really think Tooie is a mess but people seem to love it /shrug
I might have just been extra grumpy at the time
I don't expect to like Banjo Tooie nearly as much because by now it's going to be dated, and it won't have any of the nostalgia Banjo Kazooie would have.
Yup, that was a big factor for me
You also start with the entire moveset from BK1 and they invent all these new abilities which just felt... well... stupid
There are these FPS sections which honestly I thought were boring as hell
You can separate Banjo and Kazooie but they both felt really weak and useless
@twobugs those were a lot better in multiplayer
13:47
anyone spend much time in the DK64 multiplayer?
that was actually really fun
@sequoiad yesssss
I should revisit DK64 as well
Aside from the collectathon parts I remember sort of enjoying it
There's just too much collectathon grinding
Whoa
DK64 was just really weird
13:49
And you had to go through the levels like 4 times as different kongs
But it was still a lot of fun
Fun Fact: Both Banjo and Conker made their first appearances in Diddy Kong Racing as playable characters
Conker's the best in CKR too
imo anyway
That's prob my fav game ever
Whoa this looks cool
It's damn good, got a lot of people biased against it though for being a Mario Kart competitor
cc people who like things like Papers Please... I think
@sequoiad The DS remake was complete garbage
physics shit, tons of stupid QTEs
although, the single-player element of DKR was faaaar superior to MK64
13:51
@sequoiad could not agree more
never played the remake
@sequoiad don't
the genie has an american accent
@GnomeSlice wat.
no
wouldn't want to be racist
that's just not right
13:52
I barely played DKR
also banjo and conker aren't in it
@twobugs I hadn't actually played any of them until the PS4 remake.
@StrixVaria No, but I was on mobile so I was lazy
@GnomeSlice I guess that was a rights issue, with both appearing in Xbox games
Yeah
But the big thing is it just doesn't feel like the same game
13:54
@arda Not commenting on the picture, but a scrape of paper with a date on it isn't proof of anything. Usually a newspaper clipping is used as proof of date because that cannot be faked.
the hovercraft is almost completely incapable of turning
you don't bounce around in the water in it either
The piece of paper on the other hand can be written any time
@GnomeSlice That's too bad because I felt MarioKart made a great transition to the DS
@GnomeSlice hovercraft was my favourite... corner in 500 meters, better start turning now!
Mario Kart DS is the best mario kart in my opinion
@sequoiad Nah it handles really well on the N64!
13:55
@GnomeSlice N64lyf
Best vehicle, and the fasatest
@fredley That one is really empty and boring
@GnomeSlice You're empty and boring
@GnomeSlice i remember it being very slidey
maybe that's just me mis-remembering
Admittedly, N64 is the only one I've played
13:56
It has been a very long time since I played it
double dash best mario kart
I was about 10 at the time, so yeah, probably not remembering it right
Original Mario Kart, best kart.
@sequoiad it was, but manageable
@MadMAxJr It's one of the worst ones
Mario Kart for SNES is the only game that makes me nauseous to watch.
13:58
@StrixVaria and Witcher 3
@GnomeSlice It doesn't make me nauseous, it just makes me question everything about game design.
The boss races were great though...
nothing beats racing a giant Walrus down an ice chute in a hovercraft
