WEIRD

@MageXy Yeah, the mechanics aren't bad, Riot just sucks at balancing them. Neeko disguise isn't really a problem. Sylas ult stealing should've been obvious: in return for such a versatile ult, Sylas A) shouldn't be using ults more often than everyone else and/or B) shouldn't be better at using those ults than their original owner. Akali's true stealth could be kept if normal true sight (control wards, towers) revealed her position while keeping her untargetable by point-and-click.

@GnomeSlice oh this explains all the 720 sexes memes I was seeing on Twitter last night

Yuuki

That just looks and sounds like a slime mold.

ah, that's because it is a slime mold

Protists are weird, man.

The literal definition of the protist kingdom is "it's multi-cellular but it's not a plant, animal, or fungus".

Q: I bought minecraft for the xbox one but can't get it obn th pc. Please help

I bought Minecraft for the Xbox one, which in turn gave me the windows 10 edition for free (still on my Xbox.) Now I want to play on PC for a school project in com tech, but it says I have not purchased it. Does that mean I have to re-buy the game again or is there a way around this? Please help.

minecraft

Yuuki

Okay, correction: "eukaryotic" (which means they have nuclei) not "multi-cellular".

so I gave up on solo ranked for the season having reached Silver 4 -16 LP

as a result I played a couple of ranked flex games as mid

ended up as the bottom-of-the-barrel silver player in a match with all soloqueue gold players

and gfycat.com/RepentantTheseArmadillo

and then gfycat.com/PowerfulDetailedGelada

1. play like an iron 4 midlaner
2. miss all skillshots
3. ???
4. shutdown
5. ff15

Yuuki

If you get auto-filled as midlaner, always play Malzahar.

You can push fairly easily with E + W. You force the other midlaner to slow down their potential snowball because they have to buy QSS for your ult. And you can just ult in teamfights to still be useful if you're behind.

He's my go-to "I have no idea what to play and I'm picking blind" midlaner.

Him and Orianna.

Work just found me a USB stick that shuts down a computer.

Yay for malfunctioning tech.

badp

is it like the usb killer thing

Frank

That sounds like something I am not familiar with.

user15026

@Frank I suspect it's...not supposed to do that :P

Frank

7:01 PM

@Ash It generally means you're shorting the USB power lines, and computers react badly to that sort of feedback.

user15026

@Frank as I would if I were them! :P

Frank

Mine decided it was done being on. The laptop in the machine shop decided the USB ports on that side of it were done.

It was...interesting; leaving the stick plugged in made it look like it was trying to start up with a flickering power light. I had to pull it out before it died out.

Budget Cosplay skin line?

Stevoisiak

7:56 PM

Humble is changing how their monthly subscription works: humblebundle.com/monthly/classic

Mage Xy

@Yuuki I think they are just referencing a common meme cosplay. They did the same with French Renekton in the Ryze teaser before the announcement stream.

But if they did make it an actual skin line that would be awesome

Yuuki

@Stevoisiak So now you have to choose the games that you want to keep instead of them just handing over the keys for you to redeem later?

Mage Xy

@Stevoisiak Wow, that sounds like a really good deal. Is there a price limit?

Or can I just subscribe for one month and grab 10 $60 games for $20?

Stevoisiak

@MageXy I imagine that would work

Although, it is a price increase from what they had before

Yuuki

8:14 PM

@MageXy Humble Monthly has always been a pretty good deal.

Steve-o169

I never subscribed to it... I have too many neglected games on my steam without it

RedRiderX

8:27 PM

@Yuuki They really need to elaborate, but it sorta sounds like there will be more games going into the Trove every month, and you can pick a few of the new additions to get more permanent Steam keys for.

Nzall

8:43 PM

@Yuuki I've found that in general, Humble Bundle tends to have 1 or sometimes 2 games I already bought earlier, and 2 or 3 games I was curious about but probably wouldn't buy myself

I wonder what their Lite pack is. Is that essentially just like Origin Access where you can only play Trove games as long as you pay?

user15026

9:33 PM

I am stupidly proud of the fact I've gotten all the tour and gold challenges for this tour in Mario Kart Tour done, and I've gotten enough stars to get all the Tour Gifts.

Nzall

My godson appears to be having growing pains

GodEmperorDune

the goose is about to ascend

Nzall

Been crying all evening in bed and his leg hurts

Coronus

@Nzall That's what it looks like to me.

Yuuki

@GodEmperorDune pretty sure the goose will summon shenron only to steal his whiskers or something

GodEmperorDune

9:41 PM

@Yuuki can’t wait for the crossover sequel where the goose hassles characters in every IP

Nzall

Hmm, it might be something a bit more than growing pains. They're taking him to the hospital

user15026

@Nzall I hope he's okay

Nzall

@Ash I hope so too

user15026

If you're comfortable with it, I can say a healing prayer for him?

Nzall

@Ash sure

user15026

9:45 PM

Will do! :)

Q: Is there any point to stars once you have gotten all the gifts?

I have gotten enough stars during this tour that I've unlocked all the gifts available. I still have some stars from races that I've not fully completed yet - is there any reason for me to work to get all the stars in all the tracks, if I don't have any gifts left to unlock? Do I get anything for...

mario-kart-tour

Dragonrage

@Lazers2.0 never played the game, but ill toss out a guess. you can pretend to be a magpie and stockpile shiny stars

user15026

@Dragonrage I'm okay with that! I shall have a pretty shiny sparkle pile ALL MY OWN

Nzall

Message on twitter "A user has added you to their lists "Triggered Cuck""... That's an instant block

Unionhawk

I stopped getting list notifs a long time ago but I forget where that setting lives

Elise

9:49 PM

@Dragonrage okay, when I first read this, I thought you wrote "you can pretend to be a magikarp" and I had to look around for context. Then I read the message again and it made more sense

Nzall

I'm not even sure what a Cuck is in this context. Are they talking about that Cuckservative thing that 4chan started?

GodEmperorDune

@Nzall that seems likely

user15026

@Elise I could do that too but I don't know how the stars relate ;)

Unionhawk

@Nzall this is a complex issue that you can probably just sub in "lib" for the purposes of understanding meaning

Well it's not that complex but it's very stupid

so

Nzall

funny that they apply that label to me since the original meaning for that was to put a label on conservatives that turn liberal, while I've never been conservative

yeah, this is getting into TIF territory

Unionhawk

9:51 PM

They use it as a general "person who is bad" based on the original sexual context

It's a cocktail of toxic masculinity and dumb bullshit

Dragonrage

@Elise i dont think magikarp can learn swift :(

Elise

@Dragonrage A pretend magikarp can 🤷🏼‍♀️

Dragonrage

also, i cant recall offhand if there are any pokemon that are supposed to be magpies

Unionhawk

@Dragonrage they do have swift swim

@Dragonrage probably but I forget

Dragonrage

@Unionhawk are you sure magikarp can swim? i thought they just splashed

Elise

9:53 PM

@Dragonrage I think there is one, but I can't visualize it right now. Gen 6 or 7, maybe

Nzall

Taillow?

Dragonrage

@Nzall i think thats supposed to be a swallow

Yuuki

@Dragonrage Murkrow.

> Murkrow has a fondness for anything sparkly, and it will go as far as fighting with other Pokémon, such as Meowth or Gabite, in order to gain their stashes.

Nzall

no, I think that's a literal crow

Dragonrage

@Nzall technically, magpies are in the crow family

Nzall

9:56 PM

ah, I see

Yuuki

something something reddit meme

jackdaws

Dragonrage

the coloring would be off for murkrow and a magpie

but close enough i guess. still likes shiny things

Elise

There are different types of magpies

I guess most of them do have some non-black colors tho

Yuuki

Some of them are called magcakes.

Dragonrage

my rep is a palindrome. \o/

Q: How do I enable Silent Mode?

In Ring Fit Adventure, during the tutorial the narrator mentions a Silent Mode that can be enabled that essentially removes the running requirement. I decided to go with the Standard Mode initially, but this was a mistake with how fast they get you running. However, now that I enabled it, I can't...
