@MBraedley Yeah @Unionhawk needs to get with the times. The time zones that is! HA

Really tempted to buy this

But I don't need it

Secretary Mattis says that the Russians and the Taliban may be working together. Which is very interesting given that the Taliban was formed out of Afghanis who helped throw the Soviets out of Afghanistan.

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria That actually sounds completely miserable.

Avery

@Avery so just for the giggles I actually ended up making a video out of 2010's youtube, with bandicam watermark and everything.

GnomeSlice

wtf is r/place and how does it work

Avery

TFW you accidentally grief the flag

MadMAxJr

9:08 PM

@Wipqozn Mmmmm. Dice.

I went into r/place and helped make a tree.

Wipqozn

@MadMAxJr Exactly!

MadMAxJr

That is my green action for the year.

Wipqozn

Delicious, delicious dice

Far more than I need, because I don't even need new dice

My group has plenty

but diiiiiiice

MadMAxJr

... what does the all-seeing eye do on r/place?

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn split it with the group make it your shared dice

@MadMAxJr guessing "view all"?

without looking at anything

StrixVaria

9:12 PM

@Wipqozn I can still feel it but at least I can hold it open without tearing now.

Avery

@MadMAxJr it automatically moves to the newest added pixel

MadMAxJr

Ahhh.

Trying to fix the triforce near the all consuming green forest on the east.

Aaaand now it's defaced.

And now it's fixed.

This is chaos.

StrixVaria

place a thing on /r/place, see a 5 minute timer. cool, i can place a thing every 5 minutes. place another thing a half hour later, 10 minute timer. not sure whether i should keep placing or wait for a good move

GnomeSlice

Oh you have to wait 5 mins?

StrixVaria

Well it escalates, and I don't know whether it goes up in increments of 5 minutes or doubles yet.

I haven't placed a 3rd thing.

Sterno

9:20 PM

I just did my first and it was 10 min off the bat

GnomeSlice

Weird

Sterno

maybe they just increased it

I doubt I'll ever check again

GnomeSlice

maybe it's based on number of active users

StrixVaria

Oh maybe they had to rate limit it because of popularity.

Yuuki

@Sterno Same.

Sterno

9:21 PM

Eventually someone will organize and blue corner will become a different color

OH, THE WARS THAT WILL BE FOUGHT

Avery

@StrixVaria it was 5 mins for a long time for me

it just got 10 mins

I played like maybe 5 maybe 10 pixels

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria have you tried doubles in Disc Jam?

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice I haven't played since the first week, and no.

GnomeSlice

doubles changes it so much

last doubles game I tried the dude in the front bunted like every throw we tried to make over the net

those guys were really good tho

MadMAxJr

Good lord, blue has literally death-star'd the center of the board.

GnomeSlice

9:32 PM

@StrixVaria would you be down to play it some time?

Q: N64 Zelda Rumble on Wii?

For Zelda Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, I'm considering getting a Wii instead of N64, so that the graphics will be better. I'm not currently interested in Wii U or 3DS. Leary of GameCube. However, before buying the setup; I'm concerned about whether Rumble feature will be present. I read th...

GnomeSlice

tonight I'm on my way to a club in freezing rain with a really hormonal friend so I'm obviously already having a lot of fun lol

but like another time

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Yeah but no one is willing to go splits on a bag of dice we don't need. My group already has plentyof dice. Basically we share our entire dice pool.

GnomeSlice

It's a pretty cool bag

Dragonrage

is it professional to wear a headset during a video interview?

Yuuki

9:40 PM

@Dragonrage I don't see anything wrong with it.

Unless you have like a Turtle Beach headset or something with a lot of logos on it.

Dragonrage

i just have standard headset. i have a different microphone, but i would still have to wear headphones

Yuuki

I think it's fine.

Dragonrage

also the other mic has much worse sound quality

Yuuki

But maybe ask @TimStone or someone who didn't just get their first out-of-college job 6 months ago.

Tim Stone

@Dragonrage There is a client from a very large company who frequently does this on conference calls so if that's anything to go by then yes

@Yuuki tbf the circumstances of my hiring are rather odd so I'm not the best judge either, but :P

Yuuki

9:59 PM

I would like to see Gordon Ramsay make a video about the toast sandwich.

Q: How does one unlock the TLS for the Falken in Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy?

Normally in Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy, you unlock new weapons for your planes by playing them and increasing their kill rate. I've gotten the kill rate on the Falken up to 100%, but the TLS hasn't been unlocked yet. So, I figure that there's another special method to unlock it, and I jus...

Q: Stoneborn Pact on ranged characters

When Stoneborn Pact is activted, the user and other allies heal for 5% + 2.5% Max Health over 2 seconds, during 4 seconds. It also notes that the effect is halved for ranged characters. What exactly is halved? The healing is lower? It heals over a longer period of time? It lasts less time?

@badp I mean turkey will be a dictatorship in 16 days, so I can use both I guess

StrixVaria

Avery

Q: I Downloaded A Minecraft Map But I Can't Find It In Game. Do I Need To Sync My Saves With The Game And If So How?

I Downloaded a map and I have renamed the lvl.dat files but it still just won't show up in game. The files are already unzipped. I did find a bunch of saves that aren't on my minecraft anymore and deleted all of them. but the maps just won't show up.

I haven't ever played Magic but I am sure I can find people to teach me

@Fredy31 what happened to that poor pizza

you monster

GnomeSlice

@Ash it is very fun but also takes a while to learn

Frank

Huh. Mad Catz filed for bankruptcy. Not sure if it's April Fool's or not, though.

GodEmperorDune

using Trump as a coping mechanism (nsfw language)

@GnomeSlice hue

user15026

@Frank nope, AFAIK it's real

Avery

10:56 PM

@GodEmperorDune the insurance costs just got a thousand higher

user15026

@GnomeSlice it looks like it could be fun :)

GodEmperorDune

@Avery the best coping mechanism, really terrific

Trent Hawkins

@Ash Love MTG, but I'd need people to play with regularly... also all my decks are several sets out of date.

murgatroid99

@Ash Magic Duels is a pretty good place to start, and it's free on Steam.

user15026

Oh, that's neat :) I will have to check that out

Trent Hawkins

11:01 PM

Magic Duels has pretty good tutorials to learn the mechanics too.

GodEmperorDune

so i guess someone is getting a black lotus as a wedding gift :p

badp

cc @KevinvanderVelden

murgatroid99

@GodEmperorDune Fortunately or unfortunately, a Black Lotus is probably worth a lot less than it costs to most people

GodEmperorDune

@murgatroid99 it is the only expensive magic card i know

Trent Hawkins

I'm reminded of an anecdote of someone selling their Black Lotus to pay for a wedding dress; the prices were about the same.

murgatroid99

11:05 PM

@GodEmperorDune Yeah. The fact is that most rare, expensive Magic cards are only really worth it alongside other rare, expensive Magic cards, and in situations where you can play against others who have the same

GodEmperorDune

@murgatroid99 i figured that most of that stuff is aged out or w/e

djsmiley2k

errrr

in FFXV how do i get gil?

GodEmperorDune

@djsmiley2k you have to harvest cup noodles

djsmiley2k

lol

I've heard about that xD

murgatroid99

@GodEmperorDune Not exactly. There is a format where you can play with Black Lotus, but without another few thousand dollars in other cards, your deck won't be competitive.

GodEmperorDune

11:08 PM

@murgatroid99 so its like different allowed card lists for different formats?

murgatroid99

@GodEmperorDune Exactly. That's pretty much the only distinguishing feature of the different formats

djsmiley2k

Avery

Silhouette is the new egg

murgatroid99

Black Lotus is only allowed in the most permissive format: Vintage. Only 37 of the 17,000+ cards are banned (and all for very good reasons), and several, including Black Lotus, are restricted, which means you can only have one in your deck.

GodEmperorDune

@Avery wut

@murgatroid99 because black lotus is too powerful or with multiple in the deck it's too easy to cheese or...?

@Avery if we were to follow this logic, we should force everyone to shower alone in case some of them are pedos

murgatroid99

11:17 PM

@GodEmperorDune It's mainly for power level reasons. They restrict cards to decrease the probability that you start with one in your hand, to increase variance enough to make games interesting

But I think "cheese" is the wrong way to look at it. At the power level of Vintage, most viable strategies would probably be considered "cheese" in some sense. It's really a contest of disrupting your opponent's strategy more than they can disrupt yours

Avery

@GodEmperorDune i mean if your little girl who is as vulnerable as it is often stated, then they are probably too young to shower alone anyways.

GodEmperorDune

@Avery but i don't buy the "everyone is a potential creeper waiting to strike" thing

user15026

@TrentHawkins excellent :D

murgatroid99

11:40 PM

@Ash and, if you have any questions, I encourage you to ask on BCG. We get more MTG questions than anything else

user15026

@murgatroid99 oh that's awesome, it's good to know I have a resource there if I need then!
