I wonder what effect this will have on the PS4.
@Powerlord ... What PS4?? :D
@James The one they've been planning for the last several years for sure? :D
@Powerlord <sarcasm>... What PS4?? :D</sarcasm>
Sorry man, guess that wasnt clear enough :)
@AshleyNunn Did you pick up the new harvest moon game?
19:05
@Powerlord "In this society of capitalism, I believe companies in general should rebuild themselves through their own efforts," Seiji Maehara told a press briefing in Tokyo.
Smart man.. too bad he isnt part of our gov't :D
@MarkTrapp Well snap

Q: Should we burninate General Reference?

BeofettThe General Reference closure reason has been a continuing source of contention. I'm still not clear on what it is intended to accomplish (explanations I've seen have ranged from showing that the user has 'done their homework' to 'its for questions that are better looked for in other places', wi...

@Wipqozn "People keep using sliding scales to close it, so let's just not use it at all."
So now everything is allowed on SciFi.
user15026
@wipqozn not yet. Getting more and more tempted.
@fbueckert General Reference is a terrible close reason that is used inconsistently across the entire site.
@badp It's extremely easy
19:12
@Wipqozn Oh, I understand that.
The only scary part is affixing the heatsink to the CPU
This seems more like, "People keep crying about it, so let's just keep them all open."
@fbueckert The idea is that GR isn't required because the questions closed with it should either be:
a) closed as something else (NARQ, OFF-TOPIC, et cetera)
b) Not closed at all, just downvoted.

Q: Why am I unable to unlock my new shouts?

AnthonyWhy am I unable to unlock my new shouts in skyrim? I'm using xbox and currently have 5 dragon souls. The new shout is learned and the first word is greyed out. If I try to unlock it using "X" button to unlock a pop-up says needs a dragon soul to unlock. Please help, thanks.

Q: Hexdefnese level 32

DaveDoes anyone have any tips on how to get to high levels on Hexdefense level 32 ("Slow em down")? So far, I've only been able to reach level 51 with a combination of shockwaves and lightening (to slow em down :) towers, and that only got me a few hundred thousand points. I just can't see how to g...

> The rationale given for we should keep it but heavily restrict its usage is that it prevents our site from being inundated by trivial, boring questions.
...Their definition of trivial, boring questions is much lower than the rest of SO.
@James The culture clash between Japanese and American societies is huge; capitalism is all about making as much money as possible, ethics and morality be damned.
19:20
@fbueckert Bailouts for companies that do not sustain societal well being is just insane to me man.. I do not care what country you are from.
@James Oh, I agree.
I'm just saying that in capitalism, it's perfectly ok to take those bailouts, and then turn around and give them to your executives as bonuses.
@fbueckert water/power company going under due to economic stress? Fine.. we help them out and keep them running while they restructure and get things back into place.. TV and radio manufacturer? Go eff yourself, if you cant move with societal demands then clearly your company should cease to exist!
Because it's all about money. If you make money, no shareholders will care what you did to get it.
@James And I agree 100%.
@fbueckert Kudos to that guy in Tokyo if he really does deny Sony/Panasonic and Sharp the bailouts, just like Kudos to Germany for offering other Eu countries all that money AS long as they signed those requirements to spend the money on appropriate things and restructure themselves as opposed to throwing themselves a party :D
Hehe, my jaw was clenching until I got to that quote in the article :)
Then I was like 'Fuck Yeah! Someone who gets it!' :D
@James The thing with America is that the big companies are far too buddy buddy with the government.
19:25
@fbueckert Meh, Its called Corporate America for a reason
And have giant lobbies to ensure that they get what they want from the government, and damn whatever happens to anyone that's not them.
The revolving door in government also presents a giant conflict of interest.
@fbueckert Was reading up on rosevelt and all the things he did to keep 'big business' in check.. which were all abolished and deregulated in the late 70s and 80s :D
@James And how much do you want to bet corporate lobbies were behind that?
... I am going to refuse talking about politics from here forward though.. My stance on all of it is generally so out there people stop talking to me :)
I don't pay enough attention to politics to have useful opinions on it.
I just like saying outrageous things to start up arguments.

19:28
@InvaderSkoodge Hey, me too!
I just pay attention to tech politics.
Which kind of spills over into general politics more often than not.
My biggest thing is America needs to stop pretending its a democracy and accept that it is a republic.
And from there my views start going very much against the 'everyone gets a vote' stance most people have :)
Which is why I keep them to myself :)
@badp These weapons are great for the mechromancer anarchy build though :D
There, finally I have an appraiser!
Stupid people shouldn't be allowed to vote.
Jakob's shotguns are great for mechros
19:31
my Created Wealth is 12997665
NEO Scavenger update.
@BenBrocka Just have to make sure that they come with enough ammo to really have 1 shot :D I have had a few that go down to 0 when I actually hold them :(
@InvaderSkoodge How do you define if someone's stupid or not?
I say, if you pay taxes, you can vote.
@InvaderSkoodge For government or on here or just as a rule?
@fbueckert And since I disagree with that, you will see why I do not continue to talk :)
19:32
@James Oh, yeah. I hope that's a bug and they fix it. It happens with 1 round mags
@fbueckert If you are stupid, you should pay more taxes!
@fbueckert @OrigamiRobot Also remember someone just starred him saying he just says things to start arguments :)
I use the 2/3 barrel ones anyway since they have more pellets
@OrigamiRobot Again, how do you define if someone's stupid or not? :P
4 mins ago, by Invader Skoodge
I just like saying outrageous things to start up arguments.
19:33
Tax all left handed people
@fbueckert I ask @InvaderSkoodge if I'm unsure.
I am the authority on what is stupid.
2
@InvaderSkoodge Then quit it! Saying stupid shit and not defending it is also stupid! :P
@fbueckert Riddle me this.. Why do you feel because you pay taxes you have enough knowledge to make world impacting decisions for maintaining the environment within which we live?
@InvaderSkoodge Ok. You're the king of the stupid people.
19:35
Haven't you seen his MtG card?
@fbueckert No. I'm more like the sorting hat than a king.
@fbueckert Or why, if you pay taxes, you believe you know how you should deal with France not accepting those montreal blokes back?
@James Who said anything about the environment?
@James France can have everyone in Quebec.
I already pay at least a third of what I earn in taxes.
@fbueckert Pick any other political topic man, and tell me how paying taxes makes you an expert in that area... other than tax regulation :D
@James I never said I was an expert.
19:36
@fbueckert So what makes your vote mean anything?
@InvaderSkoodge No you're not.
Why is your vote the right vote in an area you have no level of expertise in?
@James Ahh. I see where you're coming from now.
@fbueckert Good, Ill stop with the Socratic Method then :)
The point of taxes is to provide funding for an overall level of service for things that benefit people as a whole.
Like roads, sewers, utilities, that sort of thing.
19:38
I do not have answers which is why I do not try and provide them. I know I am not the person to find them.. but I can see that something is broken with how it currently is.
@fbueckert Yup, agree with that completely. But being able to vote on larger political matters and world altering decisions.. just isnt on that level for me.
@GnomeSlice Is this stupid, @InvaderSkoodge?
@OrigamiRobot .............
Anywho.. I hope this glimpse into my thoughts on politics shows you why I do not talk about them often @fbueckert :D
@James Yeah, it's fine.
@OrigamiRobot Yes.
19:41
I also accept the futility of complaining about them in a forum like this.. Nothing I say on gaming's chat is going to affect anything but maybe how gaming is run and such.. This is not the vehicle of political reformation and change :D
Point proven!
We are getting too big to have these melee-style arguments where everyone can just go at each other. I propose we have Arqade parties and elect representatives to argue for us.
The platform of my inaugural party is "Ban Fun".
Let it be know that I hereby appoint @InvaderSkoodge as robot's Head Inspector of Idoicy
@OrigamiRobot I am a robot. I am here to take American jobs.
Oh wait, Halloween event is over, so that costume no longer works.
Wait, there's a second Machinarium game?
@Powerlord Would you like to join the nation of robot? I am certain you meet the criteria.
19:48
@James have you replaced any of the fans in your HAF X for any reason?
user15026
@powerlord a second machinarium? Really? Neat.
@BenBrocka Replaced, no, but I did add some in so all spots had a fan (all vents are not fanned up by default)
@AshleyNunn I don't know if there is or not, but FAE mentions it in a starred post.
Having said that, I've found no evidence of such a game existing.
Fucking NEO Scavenger.
@Powerlord I think that means 'to give away'
19:51
This game is way too difficult.
Oh way, yeah, the line wrap got me there.
On my screen, it wraps after the 2 and I was treating it as part of the game title.
@Powerlord Ahh :)
user15026
Oooooh, okay. :)
Bah, I've been porting my SourceMod extension to a SourceMod plugin piecemeal and I've lost track of where I am in the process.
@James I think there's only two extra spots for fans, right? One at the top for 200?mm and an 80mm?
19:54
Probably doesn't help that SourcePawn is not very conductive to splitting a plugin into separate files, and yet that's exactly what I've done.

A: Can I gain access to the Thieves Guild treasury?

Mattdelvin stores it in ractimsetre with you can only see if you have dawn gaurd

Can anyone translate that?
user15026
@fbueckert nope.
@BenBrocka Hmmm.. Top, Back Top??? and then the guided over the GPU fan??
@fbueckert "Delvin stores (the key?) in Ractimsetre which you can only see if you have joined the Dawn Guard"?
Whatever Ractimsetre is.
@fbueckert Nope
19:55
(I haven't played the game)
I think there might be an answer in there, but I can't tell
@Powerlord I have, Dawnguard is DLC (you can join them but delvin has nothing to do with them).
If you click on the answer itself, there's a line break after "delvin stores it in"
@James Oh, well maybe it's only if you've installed Dawnguard then.
@Powerlord Yeah that doesnt make sense either :)
19:57
see is probably also supposed to be "visit" or something like that, but again, without a reference as to what Ractimsetre is, I can only guess.
Then again, maybe I'll get it on The 7th Guess
If we have to spend this much time trying to figure out if there's an answer in there, I think it's pretty safe to just dump it.
@fbueckert Um, isnt this a downvote vs a delete situation?
Its an answer, a very shitty one, and should be downvoted into oblivion
Speaking of The 7th Guest, I've noticed that buying it from Good Old Games also nets you the mp3s from the 7/11 CD.
And left as a warning to others who may post a shitty answer :D
@James How do we know it's an answer?
We can't even tell if it's an answer.
@fbueckert Looks to me to simply be posted by a person of whom english is not their first.. or second language...
It may be .. 5th?? :)
@James So we keep crap because it might not be their primary or secondary language?
