@Fluttershy It's real-time, and based on server time. Honestly, night sucks. don't play at night. It's stupid.

A: Where do I find supplies in DayZ?

Finding Supplies Early on, there are two main types of locations you should rely on for supplies: Barns and the coastal cities. Barns: Barns will normally only have a small number of zombies, and will normally contain a shotgun and some ammo. There are quite a few of them spread around the map...

Luckily that handsome tortoise has got your back.

define "bang" before I blow stuff up with my misinterpretation

!

awesome, ta :P

@Wipqozn Wait wait.. is Day Z an MMO of some sort?

LessPop_MoreFizz

7:08 PM

@Koviko No, but it has persistent servers.

@Koviko It's a Zombie survival mod for a game called Arma 2.

@Wipqozn Yeah, but I was under the impression that it was co-op.

Haha

@Koviko The servers normally have caps of 50 players, and PVP is always on.

That was perfect timing.. Finally got to say what was on my mind and then go to a meeting so I did not have to deal with a ban :)

7:10 PM

I want to star that message but don't think the repercussions of doing so will be in your favour

;)

@pixel Why? None of that was offensive by any means :)

I suppose you didn't actually do anything wrong!

I will just take this moment however to remind people to read this article here as it is a very nice article and I can start to see established but, as the article puts it, 'snarky' people being removed from the community if they remain a detrimental effect on it

Blog - Stack Exchange: Kicking off the Summer of Love

Joel Spolsky on July 20, 2012

It’s summer here at StackHQ. Have a flower!

You’re welcome. Now on to some serious work. Can we talk about cultural anthropology for a minute? I’d like to talk about what happens when a community (online or off) gets to be about… oh, three or four years old.

Every community starts out needing to recruit members, so they tend to be very friendly to newcomers.

After a few years, an insider group of old-timers forms. They get to know each other. They know the rules. They know the history and the legends of the community. And it’s only natural to get little bit irritated when newbies show up who don’t know the rules. …

@PatrickStalder I tried researching your TSW stats question and this information actually doesn't appear to exist on the internet in detail yet

LessPop_MoreFizz

The trick with snark is to do it so well that nobody can fight you on it.

@pixel ~400 is the point of diminishing returns according to Yokai

7:14 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz Haha, I must take notes on that ;)

@LessPop_MoreFizz that by itself isn't elitist jerks level of detail though

@OrigamiRobot Ask any questions you want to on this, I can give you general info on how to survive but my information on what keys do what is a bit foggy as I have not played since the hackers came out of the wood work. :)

Haha, THat worked! Took the number after the chat log ID in the URL and put a : in front of it and it did match the reply number :D

Patrick Stalder

@pixel Okay, someone will find it out in the future. Or maybe there is a chance to contact funcom for detailed information but i doubt it.

It's a good question, I will contribute to it once I start putting hours of game time into TSW again

atm I log in every few hours to capture a facility

so when I do start playing again I won't be too far behind gear wise

Patrick Stalder

I pretty much do the same since im stuck in a quest in transylvania and my friends are far far far behind in XP and story and im too lazy to do other quests.

7:17 PM

I completed the main story and probably 70% of the other quests

and my DPS really didn't bother me that much until I installed a DPS meter

and now I'm annoyed but it's my gearing that caused it

Ooo hard to answer TSW question? I shall find it! :)

can't expect good dps in healer gear you know

maintaining my 100% accept record

Ahhh

That FAQ I have the link to around here some where may help

Patrick Stalder

@pixel im somewhere around ql8 and i deal 400 dps but I get slaughthered horribly by mobs that should be "normal" so I enjoy getting shot in the face in fusang.

@PatrickStalder see I think that's how I had no problems during the quest

7:20 PM

it goes into how min/maxing is actually bad because min/max one thing neglects its complement so you pretty much downgrade your overall DPS by not taking advantage of two sets of stats

I have been in QL10 gear since the start of transylvania

with 3+ pieces of purple +HEAL gear

Patrick Stalder

How did you conjure such gear?

spamming fusang every 30 minutes for half a week

I didn't sleep for that week, remember? :p

Patrick Stalder

AAh right you dont sleep.. I see my disadvantage.

but now I'm in 5-6 pieces of epix with +heal on them I do ~200 dps

7:21 PM

@PatrickStalder Until you get a more official answer this may help: yokaiblog.wikidot.com/guides%3Atswfaq#toc5

If I switch to my nasty greens with +Attack Power on them it goes up to 500 but all my good gear is for healing

second I take off my heal gear in the third zone of transylvania I get murdered

Patrick Stalder

@james I already saw that page but it didn't quite satisfy me but still thanks for the effort.

@PatrickStalder I actually think the biggest upgrade you can get is the weapon tbh

I have all three minors and 2 major talismans

Patrick Stalder

I'm in the first zone and I think im the biggest noob for getting killed like that.

@pixel ok thanks for the info. I was about to ask on that earlier.

the big deal with talismans IMO is actually getting the SP to get them to 10 for their passive bonuses

Patrick Stalder

7:23 PM

I have 40 sp I don't need stored up right now.

if your talisman levels aren't at 10, work on that

head gives you +health points

and the other two give physical/magic resistance

irrelevant of the actual items you have on

I'm in QL1-2 gear.

Patrick Stalder

I have 10/10 on main weapons and all talismans but im in ql8 as I said.

@PatrickStalder once I got to that point I just started spamming points around, I have 10/10 in AR, 10 in all talismans, 10/10 in blades, and 1/1 in everything else

Patrick Stalder

Yay, only somewhat around 100 Black marks left for weaponts.

7:25 PM

:D

Do you have like 20k white marks?

such a pointless currency

Patrick Stalder

Yes i did the same. 1 Point in everything.

no only 6.7k.

Q: Splitting up stacks for assembly

I frequently find myself shift-clicking stacks of an item to split up the stack, ready for assembly. This can get quite time consuming when making multiple items so I was wondering if there was another method of splitting up stacks quickly?

Q: Could I use a 1/2TB USB 2/3 external HDD with an XBox 360?

I'm considering getting an XBox 360 (plus Kinect). I need storage for other devices as well (movies, PC games, whatever an Ouya might need), so I'm considering getting a big external HDD. Can I store downloaded games (e.g. Fez) on such a device?

Q: Is there a difference between map chat and team chat in WvW in Guild Wars 2?

According to the wiki on chat commands and this image, /team will send a message to your team in WvW and /map sends to all players in your zone. Does the /map allow everyone, including enemies, to see your message?

oh, we have more than 50 TSW questions now

I have jury duty tomorrow :(

@Wipqozn I'm pretty sure it's your fault

user15026

@spugsley Apropos of nothing, I think this cookbook might be up your alley. I saw it today and immediately thought of you.

Patrick Stalder

7:32 PM

@pixel yay the new patch fixed issues with UI-Mods not working. Now i have 3 DPS meters running.

@AshleyNunn I MUST OWN THIS!

user15026

@spugsley Did you peek inside? I love the way the recipes are written

@AshleyNunn Also, Apropos of Nothing is the title of a really hilarious fantasy book I read a few years back: amazon.com/Sir-Apropos-Nothing-Peter-David/dp/1451623283/…

I haven't worked out if my internet is being bad or if it is something else, but even chat won't load properly (no images)

@AshleyNunn hahaha yes

user15026

7:34 PM

@spugsley That book sounds AWESOME

@AshleyNunn it's incredible!

@pixel On the Bridge, that is actually a good thing ;-)

@spugsley Yes.

@MadScientist yeah but its not loading avatars either

user15026

@spugsley I am going to try to hunt down a copy. :D

7:34 PM

oh, its gravatar

Patrick Stalder

@pixel For me it's just your avatar.

@AshleyNunn if you can't find it, I have a copy and I would be happy to let you borrow it :3 as long as you send it back as it's very hard to find now

@PatrickStalder well that's weird, since I don't host my avatar. I can't browse to gravatar though

user15026

@spugsley I would - I take SUPER GOOD care of other people's books. :)

@AshleyNunn :) kk let me know. There are three in the series and I could send them all to you and you can just send them back whenever you're done :)

7:36 PM

@AshleyNunn Library mod is a pretty good reference for that, I suspect

@AshleyNunn Along that line: wherethefuckshouldigotoeat.com (And I hope that URL doesnt get me flagged, its the word in the URL and I have found many good places to go to eat at it so just take it in stride please! :))

user15026

@spugsley That would be super cool. I read fast, too, so they wouldn't even be gone long. :)

@AshleyNunn no worries. They are just sitting on the shelf collecting dust :3

user15026

@MadScientist LOL yeah it helps. BOOKS ARE IMPORTANT AND SHOULD BE TREATED SPECIAL

@James I cannot believe that is a legitimate website

7:37 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz what...the...hell.

Patrick Stalder

@pixel FYI your avatar is working again.

@LessPop_MoreFizz I hate television.

@LessPop_MoreFizz I saw a commercial for this. I didn't know how to react, and I still don't.

user2334

@spugsley Tell the judge during the voir dire that if someone is in court, they must be guilty. That'll be sure to keep you from being empaneled! Side note: don't do this.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz What the shit. No. This is not a real thing. i refuse to allow it to be a real thing.

7:38 PM

Same reason as @James, don't flag me for this - it's a legitimate website :P

dont preview ->http://i.stack.imgur.com/734RP.jpg

user15026

@spugsley Let me know how you want to organize getting the books to me and whatnot. :D

@MarkTrapp I was coming up with a list of interesting ways to get out of jury duty. I thought maybe I'll draw some prison tattoos on my face and when someone asks me a question, I'm going to yell, "OFF WITH HIS HEAD!"

Patrick Stalder

@LessPop_MoreFizz I thought german TV was bad but this.. this killed my interest to watch TV.

i went with not previewing it instead :P

@MarkTrapp I think any mention of punching babies is an even quicker way of getting out of jury duty

user15026

7:39 PM

@spugsley YES THIS

@AshleyNunn want to e-mail me your address? I think if I send it via media mail it should be pretty cheap even internationally

but it might take a week to get there

user15026

@spugsley sure. I don't have your email though.

@PatrickStalder just avoid TLC. That will keep away the worst of it. Also, MTV

@AshleyNunn sdrbul01@gmail.com

user15026

@spugsley No worries, I am patient :)

7:40 PM

@murgatroid99 This. They are the lowest of the low.

Actually, no, that would be Fox News.

@Wipqozn for a different reason

...imgur seems to have trouble

user image

I don't want to pick that up :(

user15026

@spugsley email sent :D :D

user2334

@spugsley Crazy ranting might not be enough: During my last jury summons, the defendant was Portland Metro, and one guy during the voir dire when into an unprompted 5 minute rant about how he hates buses because "they seem shifty".

user2334

The judge patiently listened to the whole thing and then asked, "Remember, you've been sworn in: under penalty of perjury, would your hatred of buses significantly impact your ability to give the defendant a fair trial?" The guy quietly said "no" and sat back down. He got empaneled.

7:46 PM

@MarkTrapp bahahahaha. I'll have to be more creative

@MarkTrapp Hehe the judge caught him out for trying to skip :P

I swear 1.48 must have messed up the drop tables

This must be the fourth game in a row I get the "gives hearts" familiar

@AshleyNunn this might not work :( Media Mail isn't available internationally and the cheapest shipping I can find is like 12.95 :(

user15026

@spugsley I can pay the shipping if you want

From reading news articles, I thought just being reasonable works; since lawyers probably don't want you to be able to think. Maybe try being aware of the jury right to void trial >_>

7:50 PM

@AshleyNunn :( That's crazy talk! I'm gonna bring the books to the post office and be like "mail these for cheap you bastards!" and see what they can do. The online shit isn't exactly the most reliable

@AshleyNunn I'll work something out :)

user15026

@spugsley This strikes me as a decent plan :P

user15026

....oh man... "5-1 5-0 someone call the po-po"....seriously, this is a song? Wow. Someone was desperate for lyrics.

@AshleyNunn general state of the mainstream music industry

@pixel fair point

It's the reason I have a day job, I love making music because I love music, I could never bring myself to make mainstream

made less than 10k off music in 2 years

I also can't believe it started playing at a volume which guaranteed my whole street heard it

@pixel that makes me really sleepy yawn. (Just for the record I did not say it is bad.)

It's nicely chilled out, it's my calming remedy while raiding

Q: playing games on ubuntu through wine

I install game after game through Wine but not one game will play after installation. Do I need to install more apps or do games just not work on Ubuntu 12.04?

8:06 PM

The X-men cartoon (1992) is on Netflix. It's much worse than I remember.

Also, why don't any of the X-men carry guns to their fights? It would solve like 70% of their problems.

Clearly such a question belongs on SciFi.SE

@Sterno That stuff almost never holds up

@Sterno Theme song is still badass though

@FAE This episode seems to feature Apocalpyse's plan to destroy the earth... by throwing rocks at humans one at a time.

And, sadly, missing.

@FAE You know what did hold up? Batman The Animated Series.

@Wipqozn Hence "almost never." I fully agree.

user2334

@Sterno Magneto. Also, you'd totally get several hundred rep for asking that on SciFi.SE

8:08 PM

@FAE Ha, yes! My wife was watching this when I got home and be both starting humming the song

@FAE I own the entire series on DVD.

Meaning Seasons 1 and 2. Not season 3 where they overhauled the entire show and made it shit.

@Sterno Guns or actually killing villians or heroes is basically 'plot point reasons'.

user15026

That's like watching the Super Mario Bros 3 cartoon, where Bowser steals the white house and then puts it underwater and they manage to open the door and no water comes in and no one drowns or dies

@AshleyNunn wait, what?

Were the writers of that episode high when they wrote it?

user15026

@Wipqozn I don't know, it is entirely possible

user15026

8:11 PM

I haven't watched past that ep to see if it gets better or not

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Wipqozn I'm guessing you've never seen the Super Mario Bros. Super Show.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz Hahaha oh man

LessPop_MoreFizz

Let's just say that there's a great deal of evidence that 'magic mushrooms' were more than a mere plot point.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah.....this sums it up pretty well

Black Hollow is a nightmare

8:12 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz I have not.

If you get it pray you have health restoration

@badp It's not that bad. You can use the flies to kill it

@murgatroid99 Dead bird absolutely murdered it

I had 10 flies, 8 of which explosive, suddenly all in my face

8:16 PM

@pixel I have shirt jealousy.

so, uh, does anyone have any idea how this related to the question?

A: How can I get out of the lava without dying?

Yeah, @Zommuter, you're right. Raciocinating with Zommuter, to remember more easily what you have got. Enter your minecraft world and open your inventory and as quickly as you can press F2. Then, enter in "Run" and write %appdata% and press enter it will open a folder, enter in .minecraft and ent...

Because it has an up vote.

So not sure if just someone derping on the votes, or if I'm missing something.

user15026

@Wipqozn I have no idea. If you are missing something, I am missing the same thing. It makes no sense to me.

@Wipqozn It should be a +1'd comment on the accepted answer

its just saying to get a quick screen shot of your inventory before you die so you know what you lost to restore it via the secondary editing your inventory option

@Wipqozn not that I'm joining a discussion on policy, however it is your implication that he's using that as the reason it was closed, view it as a separate comment to his first statement

@James When you ignore someone all their posts shrink down and disappear.

@StrixVaria Oh, haha... I might try that out later :D

@StrixVaria when you ignore somebody on this chat, does it prevent them from seeing what you type?

@pixel Nope.

@pixel No, I used to talk to @StrixVaria alll the time, he surprised the hell out of me one day when he responded :D

8:57 PM

@pixel That would be so amusingly abusable.

fine, let me state unambiguously my position. the question is of low quality. the question is about the future release of a game. Normally we close questions about future releases of games, but this one has a definitive answer. I don't care much about whether this question stays open in the long run, but I would like it to stay open long enough for the asker to see the definitive answer.

I also think the question is more valuable to the site in the long term if someone improves the quality of the words used in the question.

That ping noise is awesome, it has some unknown mythical ability to be heard through any other combination of sounds

@AshleyNunn Getting pinged in chat was the scariest part of FEAR.

I probably didn't get unignored, Strix may be seeing MorePop quoting me

I manually adjust all volumes on my PC so everything sounds nice and at the right level

when I first came here that ping sound used to scare me

@DavidB the thing is, that question is not only badly worded, but is still speculation - Blizzard haven't confirmed the prices from what you posted as an answer

user15026

@pixel The worst is when I lock my desktop and leave chat open while I am like playing something on the TV or whatever, and then I get pinged all of a sudden when I have forgotten that I left the window up.
