Will we try practicing the map?
Also, I forget all the names of the people in the team, would it be alright to ask for them here?
 
@RedRiderX Like now? We could do. We might need more people thought (for the other team)
@QAdley What's the IP for the server?
The SSH one.
 
@RonanForman It doesn't have to be now, but I heard some talk of it and it might be a good idea.
 
What's all this about a tournament?
 
user2334
@Shinrai radio antennae and skyscrapers duke it out in a king-of-the-hill style grudge match
 
8:14 PM
@Shinrai We plan on making a team to participate.
 
@RonanForman No idea
 
@MarkTrapp If only...
 
@QAdley Do you not connect to it?
 
@RonanForman Wait, what server?
 
@QAdley The one I got that key for yesterday.
Or maybe wednesday.

Q: Blood-rose bug in “The Watchmaker”

SynetechI am currently re-playing The Watchmaker. Unfortunately I have gotten stuck in exactly the same place I did the first time I tried to play it several years ago. After the sand-trap, Darryl has to pour the bag of blood on the rose, but instead, he drinks(‽) it. I tried searching for an answer, h...

Q: How to connect a C64 with a PC display?

powtacA friend of mine has an old C64, it has a video output and we are wondering how to connect this with an VGA or DVI computer monitor?

 
@RonanForman gameon.stackgaming.com
 
Who do I log in as?
 
@RonanForman Uhhh, sec
go2 I think
Yeh, go2
 
It's asking for a password, I thought that was what the key was for.
 
@RonanForman And now begins the real fun...
Windows?
 
8:18 PM
Aye.
 
Is pageant running?
 
Should we do this in mumble?
 
@RonanForman I'm eating dinner, and it's not that complex
Open Pageant, load in your private key
You should then be able to use key-based auth in PuTTY etc.
 
I can't paste it, will I have to type it all?
 
@RonanForman Nono, you should be able to open the key file
Click Add Key and open your private ppk file
 
8:21 PM
@RedRiderX Yes but what is the game in question?
 
@Shinrai sethbling's tower control
 
@Shinrai That video I linked to you? That.
 
I clearly missed something
 
@Shinrai Minecraft.
 
@RonanForman Oh, you didn't @ me, I didn't realize it was meant to answer the question or I'd have clicked through, lol
 
8:22 PM
@Shinrai I did @ you though.
 
Hmm, maybe I clicked my notification right as it came up, idk
Whatevs, thanks >.>
 
My bum friend is getting sad :(
 
BOI?
 
went from :< to :C
yeah
 
@QAdley Which boxes do I tick?
 
8:26 PM
@RonanForman wtf are you doing?!
Open Pageant (it loads into the systray)
Click to open the GUI
Click Add Key, select Private Key file you created before, click ok
Done.
 
We've been thought this bit.
 
Ah ok, where are these checkboxes then?
 
I'm up to connectoin > SSH > auth.
 
Anyone here have an opinion on Septerra Core?
 
@RonanForman Just 'try pageant'
If that's ticked, shouldn't matter about others

8:29 PM
8 Bit Pony Tournament for those interested in such things
 
That's not there.
Oh wait, yeah it is, it still isn't working.
 
any of you play Max Payne 3? Is it worth $40 ( Am I going to like it if I played Max Payne I and II ? )
or is an abomination max payne?
 
@Sterno Old RPG. Back from DOS days.
It wasn't bad, but not that memorable.
 
@fbueckert They have it on GOG apparently compatible with vista 32-bit / 64 bit , the reviews are glowing about it
 
@Halfwarr It's probably been over a decade since I played it. I might give it another shot, but from what little I remember, it wasn't that fun.
 
8:44 PM
@Sterno I loved Septerra Core.
If it's $10 or less and you liked Playstation 1-era RPGs, buy it
It's a bit odd and there's a chance it might not be to your taste, but it's well worth it at what it'll probably cost you
 
...Apparently, all life regaining skills (except life per second) are nerfed to 20% for Inferno. I hope it's always been that way, and not them deciding to stealth nerf Life on Hit.
Ok. Predictions on how this weekend's contest will go.
 
@fbueckert ummm, when did they say this?
that sounds totally shitty
 
@spugsley They updated the game guide earlier today.
 
@fbueckert holy fuck. Where can I find that bullshit?
 
user15026
8:59 PM
Whee! Big rumbly thunderstorm at my house :D
 
@AshleyNunn THunderstorms are awesome.
 
> The effectiveness of life steal skills, equipment, and gems – those that heal you on hit or kill, NOT health globe or life regeneration bonuses – is reduced in advanced difficulties
 
user15026
@Wipqozn I love them
 
@fbueckert Yeah I think it's been that way all along
 
9:00 PM
@fbueckert this is troublesome
 
@RonanForman Its tomorrow?
 
@James Yes.
 
@RonanForman What time?? Maybe I can make it
If I can sneak in on the team :)
 
@James 6 UTC.
 
@RonanForman 6PM I hope :D
 
9:06 PM
If you can sneak into the server like the rest of us.
@James Aye.
 
Oh, Not gotten notification of if you were accepted into the tournament?
 
@RonanForman Either that or stampede and hope to live.
 
@AshleyNunn Sooo Jealous!
 
@James They had to change how you enter.
 
@RonanForman Too many people?
 
9:08 PM
Yes.
 
FUCK YES LEGENDARY STAFF
 
@RonanForman When will we know? Do I have to sign in some where or some such?
@spugsley Gratz! Now go watch Angel :D
 
@James We jump on the server and hope we get in the server.
There is no step 2.
 
@RonanForman ... Seriously, that is there solution? If you can log on your in?
 
@James I know. T_T
 
9:14 PM
@RonanForman So yeah did you see that Timebomb mod video I sent earlier??? Maybe we could do that instead :D
 
@James If When we don't get it?
 
Half Life 2 is €1.74
 
user15026
@James I can send it your way when I am done with it XD

Q: Half Life 1 Local Game Server fail

das_jI bought Half Life 1 on Steam and wanted to play it but if I click New Game and choose training there the Game stucks on starting Local Game Server. I reinstalled it but it wasn't working. Additional info: Windows 7 x68, Enough RAM and CPU, no Windows Firewall, Avast! Antivirus

 
9:22 PM
oh Reddit
 
@QAdp Why can't I stop laughing?
 
@RonanForman The face.
 
The frown?
 
The frown.
 
@spugsley Indeed. Nerfing abilities that keep you alive is not good.
@spugsley And, I hate you some more. :P
 
9:27 PM
@fbueckert lol it's not good. Comparable on AH about 250k ish
 
@spugsley It's a legendary; you know, one of those things I've never found?
 
9:41 PM
@AshleyNunn Greatly Appreciated :)
@RonanForman Just in general, looks like a nice game of Tag :D
 
@RonanForman Maybe we should have something planned we don't get in.
 
@fbueckert ಠ_ಠ Is this new; I was sure life on hit has hidden penalties for AoE skills but not the straight % reduction like life steal
 
user15026
Brb, going to go out and dance in the rain (and also take my garbage out, which is an excuse to go out there)
 
@spugsley Sigh - what is it now; I know you're way luckier than me already so I won't even get (more) jealous :p
 
@Alok it's a staff, but it's not good :p selling it for 250k

Q: Can I still experience the extended ending of Mass Effect 3 while offline?

christianI had my friend take my hard drive to his place and download the ending for me. I don't have an internet connection at my place, so I'm wondering if I'm still able to play the ending if I'm offline (for the 360).

 
@spugsley Name? random stats on it?
 
@Lazers This sounds like a dupe.
 
@fbueckert How do you usually farm, do you go through an entire Act in one sitting?
 
@Alok I usually hammer through about half an act or so.
Haven't really played much in the last few days.
 
Because, I have realized that the 3 times I ever found decent stuff (all in Act 1 as I'm too weak hehe) was right before logging off after killing almost every elite in A1
Bul Kathos' band on DH I don't remember; but that was true for IK helm & Lacuni bracers on wiz ... about to log off; think 'hey only few areas left, let's play 5 more mins' and it drops (lacuni off some random skel summoner)
 
9:51 PM
@spugsley That fist you gave me provides 1K more DPS than a weapon with 100 more straight DPS.
 
@RedRider That thing James was taking about seems cool, I think there are some servers we could join.
 
@Alok The Tormentor - ~135int, some dex and vit, ~4% chance to stun, arcane damage - the problem it's level 60 and has reallllly low DPS ~460
 
What, @spugsley is giving out freebie stuff too? What props does it have
Give it to enchantress? :D
 
@Alok we traded :) I got a sweet crossbow in exchange
 
@Alok Do I have you on my friends list?
 
9:53 PM
No one does; I'm scared to play with Arqade ppl >_>
 
@Alok awww why???
we are cool :) we help each other out
 
My play will get downmodded for being ineffective!
 
@Alok I have junk sitting my stash that the AH won't buy. If you want lootz, add me.
 
I like to run around randomly; I don't play for 'most efficient' and 'highest dps' char etc. ... I even go for runspeed boots w/ lesser stats on my melee chars
 
The way I see it, if I give good stuff away to people who can use it,they'll look for things I'm interested in.
In effect, crowd-sourcing my upgrades. :P
 
9:55 PM
@fbueckert Oh I'm doing ok; I was just being more jealous of @spugsley getting to find legendaries and enough extras to give away. I have an entire stash full of junk that won't sell on AH but has some use and I don't want to throw it :(
 
@Alok salvage in the hopes you'll get fiery brimstone!
 
@Alok What's your main class?
 
@fbueckert That's a good idea - I am just planning to get all chars to lvl 60, so that any good item I get is useful :D
 
@Alok excellent plan! :p
 
Errr - wiz I guess? I have wiz, DH & monk at lvl 60; but need to gear monk a bit more before playing.
 
9:56 PM
@Alok ...You have a monk at 60, and you didn't TELL me? I got lots of junk!
Mostly castoffs of my own, but still quite good.
 
@spugsley I have 2 of them; one salvaged and one I actually bought a legendary for 100k (since new recipes all need 2, in case I wanted to get a sage's seekers or something crafted)
 
I was just reminded how much I want to marry Techno Viking
 
@spugsley This is news to me and is hilarious.
 
You play monk? Did you try infinite tempest rush .. I can't use that in Inf. but it is awesome fun in Hell A3
 
@IanPugsley bahahahaha
 
9:58 PM
@Alok At this point, all of Hell is facerolling.
 
Yeah but you want the huge mobs in A3 so you tempest thru them (like WW barbs in D2). I even bought a cheap 2h daibo w/ spirit regen; so that using guardian's path I can run infinite Tempest w/ Tailwind
Btw - I know we should keep a high LoH item even with low dps for tanking situation; but how low can the dps go in that case?
 
@Alok I managed to down the Butcher with ~7K DPS and ~13K life.
I had...about 800-1000 LoH, I think?
 
Nice - well I found a 1h spear with iirc 600+ LoH (so I can still use shield), but dps in 200s :p. And I have a nice ammy with 400+ LoH, too bad it doesn't have any main stat on it
 
Thanks for the input. I actually already owned Septerra Core (I keep finding out I bought stuff I never knew I had!), but I was just looking for a decent game to play that can run on my laptop
 
@Alok I just got a 880 DPS weapon given to me with 550 LoH; it bumped up my DPS by 2K, which means I'm sitting at 18K now.
 
10:03 PM
That's not bad for a monk; mine is - maybe 13-15k? Going to go down since I plan to swap to higher resist gear and see if i can still kill stuff
I'm just having too much fun on wiz being lazy (hydra, blizzard & sit around) ;)
 
@Alok That's with 24.5% crit chance. :P If you include Sweeping Wind's crit synergies, I tend to do about 2-3 times that much damage.
 
I should probably add you guys just to give you laughs at how terribad I am on DH; never managed to master SS :(
 
Ask @spugsley; on Monday, with two crit cyclone monks, we basically mowed through everything. Died a couple times, but normal enemies just got pasted.
 
@fbueckert Lol - my lvl 32 barb has close to that but poor monk is much lower :(. Barb has nice runes to reduce cooldown on crits for some stuf; playing around with furious charge where I can run to & fro in mobs
 
Well, I gotta get ready for dance class. Maybe tomorrow we can do some runs together or something.
 
user15026
10:07 PM
I love d3 discussions, because I am like I have NO idea what is going on XD
 
user15026
@fbueckert Enjoy your dance class!
 
OMG @OrigamiRobot FOUND A LEGENDARY RING
 
@AshleyNunn Even if you don't play; you haven't read any of the D3 questions? I probably know more about BoI, LoL and Skyrim than beginning players, and I never even saw youtube videos :p
@spugsley You know, at this point I think you're just trolling to make us more jealous. Either that or you bribed Blizz RND with cookies or something
 
@Alok maybe I'm a blizzard bot :p
 
user15026
10:11 PM
@Alok Not really, no - most of it goes over my head
 
@OrigamiRobot Nice ring
 
@OrigamiRobot Oooh, nice
 
I wish Strength and Dex were reversed
 
@OrigamiRobot Good for barbarians
 
@OrigamiRobot uh wow, two randoms are +vit +dex and Attack Speed? Nice.
 
10:14 PM
@spugsley You need around 700 hrs played to qualify as a generic farmer bot; and godly rolls to lay claim to a Blizzard bot. So no, unless you have full Natalya's you don't qualify, sorry ;)
@AshleyNunn I would suggest picking up D2 for cheap to try out the genre, if you haven't already. Or wait for D3 to have a demo version - its a good game imho, but if you don't even like the genre (hack n slash) then the price is quite steep
 
user15026
@Alok It's not something I am really all that interested in tbh
 
@OrigamiRobot Very nice :) You could try finding a barb who has equivalent for dex and trade hehe
 
@Alok I thought D3 did have a demo version
 
@Shinrai It has guest passes for those that bought the retail version to give away. But apart from that, I'm not aware of a general demo you can download w/o knowing other D3 players
 
@Shinrai Blizzard promised a demo type of thing to be coming in 30 to 90 days after launch or something
 
10:21 PM
@Alok Oh, I thought the starter version was openly available by now. (I still have my guest passes in the box lol)
 
@Alok lol

Q: What is the drop rate for the Plan: Staff of Herding?

Ben LeeI've done an Izual run on Normal about 15 times now and he hasn't dropped it yet. What is the Staff of Herding plan's drop rate?

 
10:36 PM
Sure, that's what stack exchange is for.
If they didn't want you adding to it, it'd be locked
 
Hmm have to go hunt down a post in bnet now >_< Oh well, I will update it in a few hours if I can.
 
Protecting a question is just to stop crap like this from being posted:
 
Why do they bother; its so obvious to get downvoted anyway and it clutters up the page :(. But yeah, assuming I can find the bnet thread I do have potentially useful info, not just 'I saw it drop 4 times haha'
 
Well, when you give people a textarea, some of them are going to type into it and click Post, even if they're fresh off the Google boat and don't really understand where they are.
Happens all the time. In fact, sometimes the system automatically protects posts once a few 1-rep users start posting stuff that gets downvoted.
I dunno what the heuristic is exactly, but I'm sure it's documented on meta.so somewhere obscure
 
Wow that is very nice (auto protect feature), didn't know about that.
 
10:48 PM
@AshleyNunn ^
 
user2334
@BrQAnt 3 deleted posts that would normally be blocked by a protect triggers an auto-protect
 
@BrQAnt Pretty sure it's if three answers get flagged and deleted, then it gets auto protected.
 
Btw, is there any point to Inferno whimsy post-chest MF nerf?
I have the inferno plans, Hell staff and 1m; just don't see any reason to upgrade
 
Looks like the next Steam deal is AssRev. Anyone played it?
 
@MarkTrapp, @fbueckert: Do you guys read Meta.SO when you're bored or something? I struggle just to understand the posting rules here :(

@Alok I don't find it to be all that complicated, and 90% of the arcana is not necessary at all to have a happy and productive SE life
 
lmao @ the comment, upvotes and the fact that his total rep is 136 (of which 100 is from that question)
 
user15026
@Wipqozn This is so cool. So cool.
 
@MarkTrapp I ran into a 'list' issue as recently as yesterday :). And I haven't found an authoritative answer anywhere on meta either, if you see my question there.

@Alok It's Kirby.
 
is the main protagonist of Nintendo's Kirby video game series created by Masahiro Sakurai and developed by HAL Laboratory. The Kirby series is one of Nintendo's many well-known game franchises, spanning nearly twenty games since 1992. His first appearance took place in the 1992 video game Kirby's Dream Land, where he was portrayed by a two-dimensional sprite; since Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards for the Nintendo 64, he has made several appearances in 3-D. He has been featured in other video games from Nintendo, on Nintendo's merchandising, on comic books, and even on a . Kirby also appear...
 
user2334
@Alok LessPop's answer looked pretty authoritative to me. But then again, you seem to not like very many of the explanations people give you regarding this type of stuff, so I dunno what to tell you. In general though, I think thinking SE is overly complicated triggers a self-fulfilling downward spiral full of confirmation bias
 
@AshleyNunn Assassin's Creed Revelations. Sorry, the Rock Paper Shotgun abbreviations for those game names (AssBro, AssRev, etc) stuck in my head
 
user15026
10:57 PM
@Sterno No worries, I figured it was something like that, but for the life of me I had no idea what it actually stood for
 
@Sterno Did you the like the others? Are you invested in the plot? Then you should play it. (But the PC versions have lousy controls.)
 
@Shinrai I played the first Assassin's Creed and didn't really like it, but I heard later ones got better
 
@Sterno The core gameplay hasn't changed at all.
 
I think SE tends to rely a bit too much on Meta.SO over actual documentation, but like Mark said, 90% of the time you can get by without knowing the actual mechanics behind things.
 
They've just refined some of the mechanics.
 
10:58 PM
@Wipqozn I think it was more the pacing
 
@Sterno I would not play it if you haven't played AC2. (I would immediately play AC2, it's vastly better than AC1 even though the mechanics are largely the same)
 
@Sterno You might like the others then. The pacing was improved in AC2.
I can't comment on any of the others, since I've only 1 and 2.
 
@MarkTrapp No, I understood his answer; about unbounded/bounded - I said as much. But that is not the sole criteria for whether a list question is good or bad; and from other meta thread (linked in question comment) I don't think there is a clearcut answer. Yes, I do disagree with some decisions but that is not the problem; I just want to be able to figure out the line without just going 'oh well someone will correct me if I overstep'
 
I ran into three elites during my short play session. All THREE had Arcane Enchanted.
 
Immensely better pacing, yeah. I didn't like AC1 that much but AC2 and Brotherhood are awesome. (I don't think Revelations stands that well on its own but I suspect if you play the others you'll know if you want to play it or not)
 
11:00 PM
@Sterno lol I was so sure that isn't a game I want to even google for info about :)
@fbueckert I think RND picks some affix and uses it a lot in a single game. If I get dmg reflect right at start; I just restart the session w/o even trying for NV stacks.
 
@Alok I'd love Damage Reflect; I ignore that affix.
 
On monk I would prefer that over arcane; but as wiz (hydra/blizzard) I find arcane to be easier. I mainly dislike reflect; and fast affix esp. on fast mobs in cemetery crypts (I just skip them in that case)
 
user2334
@Alok You're asking for the impossible. SE is a large community and is designed around the community moderation process. It works the way that it does precisely because rules and guidelines can be applied by the crowd and not any single individual. You'll find most large communities have their own sets of standards that require the community acting in concert to apply (e.g. reddit).
 
Yeah I'm going to stop worrying about it; at this rate I'll bother people more with unanswerable questions than mistaken posts that need closing/editing ;). Atleast I know enough to avoid the most egregious errors already!
