Q: Better DPS: Ultra Great Sword or Twinblades?

DrakaSANUltra Great Sword require a lot of STR, Twinblades requires a lot of DEX. I've heard that DEX scaling is not as good as STR scaling, and am hesitating between leveling up to equip one or the other first. For now, my playstyle is two handed spear: Stay far from enemy, wait for them to attack, do...

 
@TimStone Man, theme reply tweets. I regret reading.
@TimStone Also to be four trying to walk past one person is a lot of work. Maybe she'll get fed up and quit.
 
@Wipqozn I wanted enough magic for the healing spell.
I also noticed focusing on just, say, Heart, gave me a lot less samurai skill points than spreading the love around.
I find myself spending most of my time in mid-stance unless something is on the ground, and then I go low-stance.
High stance seems like "I want you to kill me" mode
 
So wait, this game is essentially "Dark Souls except you're a samurai" or something?
 
6:16 PM
@Unionhawk I can tell you, without knowing much about the game, but having heard it described by other people - yes
 
@Unionhawk Weeb Souls
It's Dark Souls with more gear/skill depth but worse level design
 
@Wipqozn That's almost worse than the state department losing all its senior staff on the first day of Trumps appointee.
 
@Sterno Healing is for cowards.
 
@Unionhawk Onimusha Souls
 
@Sterno high Stance in kura whatever has a really long range attack which is super handy
 
6:25 PM
@Wipqozn I look forward to you streaming your no-flasks playthrough!
 
@Sterno damn it I have to do this now, don't I?
 
Cowardice is for smart people
let's be honest
 
Honestly I find the healing items you get to be really useless in Nioh. They only give you about half health.
 
@Wipqozn I bet there's a cheevo/prestige/title/whatever for going no-flasks on a mission
 
6:27 PM
@Unionhawk Hence why I use a giant shield in Monster Hunter.
 
@badp indeed
 
@Wipqozn So you don't use them then?
 
@Sterno Sometimes, since I'm a coward. but during a boss I find they're useless. They heal so little that you basically just need beat the boss without taking more than 4 or 5 hits anyways.
Can't facetank it
 
How much health do you have?
 
Gotta, like, dodge and shit
 
6:28 PM
They heal over half for me
Well, yeah.
Facetanking is out
 
@Sterno 900 I think. I got abit of HP from pumping up stamina
 
Thank Trump
 
@Sterno yeah which is good
Because it could be really easy to face tank in dark souls, gotta admit
@Sterno I see what you did there
 
@Wipqozn I wonder how many people I triggered
 
6:29 PM
Bloodborne NG+ made me realize just how much I relied on facetanking
 
 
you can't just be like "LOLOL YOOOOOOOOLO LIFEHACKED THAT BOSS"
 
@Wipqozn You've completed the first beach mission, right?
 
> You're right, there's no way autonomous desired investment expenditures are $150 with a Marginal propensity to import of 0.10 without some outside factors influencing these numbers.
 
@Sterno Yes, with the boat boss.
who is all like "I'm on a boat"
 
6:30 PM
I mean, even on that boss, I thought flasks helped
 
Fuck, why did this work when it shouldn't have?
 
Took him 2-3 hits to kill me. Flasks would give me back 1-2 hits of health
You still couldn't facetank but it let you recover from errors
 
@Sterno that's true
I just need to not be a greedy greederton
 
My biggest complaint about the game so far is that I just can't feel bothered to look at all the loot or even use most of the items
Then when crafting unlocked I just shrugged and ignored it
 
@Sterno yeha I hate the loot system. I know some folks like it, but I find it annoying.
 
@Sterno I have no idea how that works. I looked at it, but upgrading my item would actually make it worse.
 
@Wipqozn I've been hating it less now that I realize it mostly doesn't matter.
 
@Wipqozn IIRC, the same items can have different stats?
 
So I was like "well that makes zero sense"
 
I mean, in the scheme of things, 120 damage versus 130 damage doesn't matter for most enemies
 
6:32 PM
@Yuuki Yes. It's basically Diablo.
 
I think @Fluttershy mentioned and I immediately didn't like the idea of a Diablo loot system in Dark Souls.
 
@badp hl3 confirmed¬!
 
@djsmiley2k finally @KevinvanderVelden is going gold
I'm so proud @KevinvanderVelden
and we'll all be able to be INSIDE @KevinvanderVelden, and explore every nook and cranny of @KevinvanderVelden.
 
so parents of the bridge

6:34 PM
6 suspect spots over 2 days, could it be chicken pox?
:/
we're still having the party, living on the wild side
 
Gabe Newell confirmed imposter, replaced by lizardperson.
 
Bridge.parent();
 
because by the time the spots appear, it's already too damn late :D
 
It's a pox party!

Q: Where to find free downloadable stuff for ps4

LeonWhere to find free downlodable stuff for ps4

 
6:36 PM
Okay, things are working the way they should. In related news, fuck you TIFF standard for having your byte order RGBA instead of the more common ARGB.
 
> Somebody at work referred to the design for the new £1 coin as the 'new quid on the block' and now I can't stop giggling.
cc @fredley @Ronan
Speaking of @fredley, where is @fredley?
 
trying to get better at making soup?
 
I don't know how he can get any better.
I also don't know how he can get any worse.
 
Well he could definitely get worse
just imagine if he went to make soup, tried really hard then out came a sandwich?
that's what worse looks like
although personally I would prefer a sandwich over soup
 
Canwich
 
6:45 PM
> I'd have to say my 3 favorite "be happy with yourself" cartoon characters are Bobby Hill, Gene Belcher, and Steven Universe.
> Two of those three characters have girlfriends named Connie!
Mind blown
 
Whoa Pandora takes lots of battery apparently even though I haven't run it in like 4 months
UNINSTALL
 
I uninstalled facebook from my phone because it did that
 
Yeah Facebook is real bad
 
although I still have messenger...
 
iirc Messenger is no better
 
6:58 PM
I figured
but I actually use it
I wasn't using facebook
 
The rest of my usage is reasonable
mostly screen and android system
 
I don't think ios tells you battery consumption, does it?
 
idk
 
oh it does
I don't think it always did that
messenger is only at 2% batter usuage
tinder is at 4%
 
My cat had surgery today and now only has one eye.
Totally getting him an eyepatch
 
7:00 PM
do different apps rlly use more battery than others?
 
and a pirate hat
 
@gamer103 Yeah
 
"No Cell Coverage" 3%
what is this?
 
@Sterno Well that sucks, but the follow-up is hilarious so totally do that
 
idek know what this is, I'm assuming it's battery consumed by me not having service?
 
7:01 PM
@BlueBarren time it spent looking for cell coverage and not finding it
 
I mean, he's been effectively blind in that eye since birth anyway so he won't miss it
And now he might stop trying to claw it out of his head
 
I figured
 
@Sterno Oh, well O_o
 
I kind of want a parrot too but I think he'd eat it
 
Siri has used 1% of my battery, time to uninstall!
I'll uninstall all of iOS
 
7:03 PM
If he's one of those cats who sleeps all day, he's now 50% more efficient at that
 
install windows phone os on my iphone
 
@Sterno oh God this will be fantastic. Please post pictures.
 
TFW you tell your daughter she can pick which kitten you're getting from the shelter and she picks the one blind in one eye and half blind in the other.
 
lol
my daughter named our two
 
@Sterno well even sick pets need a home. In fact that cat may have been in that shelter for ages. Honestly your daughter did a really nice thing.
 
7:06 PM
bruce (after batman) and lord henrik of norway the IVth (Henry and we have no clue why)
 
Nah, it was a 6 week old kitten (though yeah, it would have had trouble finding a home probably)
She just wanted it because it was orange
BUT YES SHE IS THE SWEETEST EVER EXCEPT WHEN SHE'S NOT
 
did she know it was blind?
 
She didn't
 
@Sterno @Wipqozn The Polygon guide for Nioh suggests that crafting is actually super useful.
 
7:07 PM
did you tell her it was blind?
and then if you did she change her mind?
 
@Fluttershy well I should probably learn how it works
 
We also had a goldfish about to die so we started telling her we were going to take it back to the fish store so that it could live with its mommy and daddy after vacationing with us. Basically so we didn't have to go through the whole death thing with her. Her response: "No! It can't go back to it's mommy and daddy! It's staying with me forever!"
 
Man I want to go home and hug my cat now
 
Good thing goldfish all look alike
 
oh geez, how old is she?
 
7:09 PM
the faries in the sky also need pets
 
@Yuuki Oh, ha, yeah. They were just being interviewed about cookie sales
 
@Sterno just but a new goldfish. She probably won't even notice.
 
that's what we ended up telling my daughter, after our cat randomly passed away
 
@Sterno oh well then. Blame mobile.
 
i think it was poisoning, but it doesn't completely make sense....
I came in that day
she was lying on the floor opening and closing her mouth
and was soaking wet..
 
7:11 PM
I really need to home and hug my cat now.
 
yeah it was horrible
 
you said that already
 
fortunately i realised what was going on before my daughter had even came into the room
so shouted to my wife and she kept her away
once she was in the catbox, my daughter said bye bye to her, was kind of upset and confused
(at the time didn't know if she'd be coming back, but thought it best to let her say bye incase)
 
Yeah, really glad my kids didn't see our cat when it died. It did not look peaceful
 
> How many tickles does it take to make an octopus laugh?
> Ten tickles.
 
7:13 PM
@Wipqozn Okay, so...
 
I remember when one of our hamsters would die it would become a day of somber
 
You finish that first beach mission and during the cutscene a guy pulls out his cat, then stuffs it back in his coat.
WTF
 
@Yuuki points to the door
 
........
ok, now i wanna hug one of my cats
fortunately ones right here
 
I'm all alone in this world with no pets
 
7:15 PM
I'll be your pet.
also no ones commented on my cakes
 
@Sterno yuuuuuup. He seemed to use it to check the time too. So it was a clock cat. So bloody weird. And the PC doesn't even react to it.
 
wut
THis one?!
 
@djsmiley2k No. This.
He just keeps a cat in his pocket to know if dawn is breaking
You know, rather than, say, looking up
 
well that was.... different
 
7:19 PM
I mean, keeping a cat in your pocket seems like a decent idea anyway
 
Spoken like someone who has never had a cat in their pocket
 
@Sterno All that fire and smoke in the air might be hard to tell, to be fair
Cat is 100% reliable
 
@Yuuki are you having issues with reddit?
 
@Sterno erm
i've kept both a cat, and a baby in a hoodie
tho not at the same time
We had a cat, he'd walk down to the corner shop with us
then come in, then come home again
 
@BlueBarren Other than a crippling addiction?
 
7:22 PM
I don't know what magical cats you guys have that don't at some point say, "Well, fuck this, I'm done" and then claw the shit out of you
 
hah, he was a very special moggy
 
@Yuuki other than crippling addiction, in this case all searches are failing
 
@Sterno no. I refuse. But yet this is so hilarious.

@Yuuki This is one of my favourite jokes not gonna lie
 
hmmm I'm thinking about getting pizza tonight
and once I start thinking about it it usually happens
oh man now I just want pizza
it's allll I can think about
 
user15026
I had pizza yesterday and will have it tomorrow for dinner :D
 
@Ash yusssssssssss
I should go have pizza myself at some point tonight, maybe, or not, decisions decisions
 
@badp joinnnnnnnn us
 
maybe it's better left for tomorrow or sunday
 
7:56 PM
one of we, one of we
 
user15026
@badp If pizza is an option the answer is always yes
 
@Ash @badp I agree with this statement
 
nope I need to save the pizza for a moment of higher laze
also the wait times right now are too damn high
 
I'm for sure ordering pizza march 3rd
 
user15026
@badp Fair enough. Hopefully an opportunity presents itself
 
8:00 PM
I bought 12 frozen pizzas at the store yesterday because they were on sale for National Pizza Day
Now I can spend the money I saved on Bad Rats
 
The best part about being single is being able to wait till the day after Valentines Day to buy candy and getting it at a huge discount.

Q: Activating godmode in Super Star Wars for SNES?

AerovistaeI tried entering AAAAXBBBBYXXXXAYYYYB like it says, but nothing happens. This video shows it going to a character select screen afterwards when you start the game, but this doesn't happen to me. I have the controller in port 1 with no controller in port 2. Am I missing something about this?

 
@Sterno you don't have enough copies saved up?
 
I think only 1
 
8:03 PM
I thought maybe they would give you free copies for all the work you do promoting it.
 
amazon knows what I want
 
@Dragonrage I should tweet them and see
 
@Avery that's because they have drones following you analyzing every aspect of your life.
@Sterno it's worth a shot.
 
Now drones will developed anti-anti-drone-slingshot-shotgun-guns.
That's how evolution works, right?

@Fluttershy I mean I feel like that's an easy mistake.
But seriously wtf was up with that handshake?
 
It's something about asserting dominance, or something
We've seen it before
 
It's like Trump has read a bunch of pop culture psych books on how to be a leader without actually managing to pull it off.
 
Except no, you be a leader by respecting your peers as equals
And the PM of Japan is his peer
But no it's the art of the deal all the time or whatever
 
8:27 PM
I mean, I have problems with Shinzo Abe on a few things, but dear god I feel sorry for every world leader that has to meet with Trump.
 
@Yuuki, the new blood moon game mode is pretty cool
 
@Unionhawk Of course; that's always been his mindset.
 
That's all he knows I think
Like literally the only thing he knows
 
@Yuuki Trump isn't big on reading... picking out drapes on the other hand
 
Everything over the last 4 weeks has been a blur and I have no idea what's going on, so forgive me if we have
But it's no less wat now then whenever we may have covered this thing
 
8:34 PM
@Unionhawk public policy polling leans pretty left
 
@GodEmperorDune I really mean the "among trump voters, 51% say the Bowling Green Massacre necessitates ban" bit
 
@Unionhawk Does the poll ask whether they believe the Bowling Green Massacre exists?
 
Unknown/implied I guess
"I believe that we should have a travel ban because this thing happened" implies "I believe this thing happened"
 
I'm fairly certain many Trump supporters would call for a Muslim ban regardless of whether they know the Bowling Green Massacre is fake or not.
 
People will agree to things they don't know about / understand. They hear "massacre" and say yes.
cf. the Prime Minister Poutine skits.
 
8:37 PM
@JasonBerkan Yeah exactly
I mean that's exactly how those 22 minute skits worked. They'd tell American ridiculous things but people don't want to feel stupid by not knowing about it so they just go along with it.
 
@Unionhawk the way you phrase the question makes a big difference in the responses you get
 
 
like "would you vote for X" vs "would you vote for alleged domestic abuser X"
 
oh I need to make a uplay account and all that
 
ahem
 
8:43 PM
that sounds like way too much work for abeta
 
@Wipqozn Oh you have to do uPlay to get in the For Honor beta?
 
@Wipqozn I would concur
 
Ugh, I really don't feel like reinstalling uPlay.
 
> Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: 'the bowling green massacre shows why we need Donald Trump's executive order on immigration'? (23% agree, 57% disagree, 20% not sure overall)
 
@Yuuki Yes. I have no interest in signing up, or using it, since I hear nothing but bad things.
Plus that sounds like too much work
 
8:45 PM
@Wipqozn Origin is tolerable now.
uPlay is still terrible.
I heard a story where someone launched a Ubisoft game from Steam. It opened uPlay which then opened Steam.
 
@Unionhawk 538 did something about wording bias in polls but i am far too lazy to look it up
 
oh I already hgave an account
 
@GodEmperorDune It's still, on its face, "Do you agree with the statement '<thing that did not happen> supports <EO>'"
 
45 minutes till pizza time
 
so either 51% of trump voters polled think the thing happened (it didn't), or don't care
 
8:47 PM
oh rightI would have had it for far cry
@Unionhawk Or just assumed the poll wasn't trying to trick them
 
@Unionhawk yes but you are also mentioning that it's trump's executive order to the respondents, so some of them are going to read it as "do you support trump's blah blah blah" to which they answer yes
 
If you didn't hear about it, and a poll was like "why do you think about this thing", you wouldn't just assume people were making it up
 
it also depends on the surrounding questions
 
Surrounding questions were "do you support the EO" and "do you think the EO was well executed"
 
like if you ask "do you agree with news reports that the bowling green massacre didn't happen" before that question, it prejudices it
 
8:49 PM
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
public policy polling is also the group that brought us "do you support bombing agrabah?"
 
The weekend can't come soon enough, and I'm already at home.
 
i.e. they sometimes throw in some questions to get a "lelele look at these dumb hicks" clickbait
 
I mean
Hey, at least only 2% overall responded "Frederick Douglass is alive"
which can probably be mostly accounted by "people trolling the pollster"
 
to be fair there are millions of people in the US, maybe someone with the same name is still alive
 
8:53 PM
That's also true
 
@GodEmperorDune These days, they call him "Mr. Glass".
 
Hey, it could be worse for the president, congressional approval is only 16%
 
Y'know, I'll always have a soft spot for the old school nicknames like "Mr. Terrific".
Sometimes, you're just tired of <random word that is somehow related to their power>.

@Fluttershy Pretty sure For Honor wasn't designed to be played with a mouse and keyboard. Strikes me as something intended to be played with a controller.
 
This user's manual that I'm modifying now is sooooo baaaad! I really hope there's like 4 weeks of budget to work on it.
 
@MattE.Эллен I feel like these days, Xavier would be "Cerebro".
Speaking of Cerebro, I still have no clue exactly what thing is supposed to do.
Is it supposed to amplify telepathic powers so Xavier can use it to search for mutants around the world?
If so, why can Eric/Magneto use it?
Besides, how is Xavier able to distinguish between mutants and non-mutants with just suped-up telepathic powers?
 
i thought it scanned for mutations remotely
 
I have no idea how it works
maybe Xavier is looking for something the psychically defines a mutant?
 
9:20 PM
@GodEmperorDune Okay, assuming that it scans for mutations remotely and ignoring how it achieves that, then why are only telepaths (with the notable exception of Magneto) able to use it?
