Q: Does car damage affect performance?

LeeOther than flat tires, does car performance degrade at all after repeated crashes? My experience tells me no.

 
@badp Insuntingly?
Other than that, I approve :)
 
@badp That's just insunting.
 
N -> L
 
WTF Dungeon Defenders! Stop having 100-200 MB updates every few days! Fuck, now I can't play it tonight...
 
@GnomeSlice xmas content?
 
12:51 AM
@James I don't know, but it had a 200 MB one like two days ago.
This one is 114 or something.
 
@GnomeSlice I also checked out WTF Is ... videos on Air Buccaneers and Wings of Iccarus.. or however that one is spelled.. and I have to say the second looks more interesting game play wise while the first one looks better art style wise.
 
@James Never heard of Wings of Icarus.
 
@GnomeSlice was a kickstarter game that then became just a multiplayer... WTF did anyone else see @badp leave in a sleigh?!?
 
@James You just noticed that?
yesterday, by GnomeSlice
Krazer just left chat in a sleigh...
Yeah, people leave chat in sleighs now.
 
... Was just a multiplayer game and then kicked again to become an MMO.
 
12:53 AM
And the insert coin game has snow in it.
 
@GnomeSlice Insert Coin?
 
@James You've never seen it!?
Type 'insert coin' nothing else
It's our chat Easter Egg.
 
insert coin
 
insert coin
 
Hmm seemed to happen when you put it up but not me
GAH It slid off while typing
insert coin
 
12:54 AM
Do it again, then use the arrow keys and the spacebar.
It's like asteroids with gravatars
 
LoL
 
I think I broke chat
 

 Coin Slot

A place to play the cool Arqadian/Arqanoidian murder asteroid ...
 
There we go
Looks normal now :D
 
12:57 AM
Some mod broke my pinned message there though. >:/
 
@Ullallulloo IT'S ARQANOID I HATE YOU T_T
 
@OrigamiRobot This is an adjective though.
Arqanoidian?
 
@OrigamiRobot It's nothing like arkanoid...
:P
 
@GnomeSlice We are arqanoids.
 
Uh oh, @OrigamiRobot pluralized itself again...
 
1:00 AM
I'll pluralize your face!
 
@OrigamiRobot :O
 
:Os
I warned you.
 
@OrigamiRobot LMFAO
 
@James @OrigamiRobot is going rampant
 
@SaintWacko That is my zombie and robot apocalypse watch dog... or cat.. not really sure.. but I think its a dog.

@James Looks like a dog to me. A kinda creeepy cute one

Q: Do Onos or any Kharaa take locational Damage?

QuinmaWhen shooting an Onos or any other Kharaa where should I aim? Is there different location damage like on a marine?

 
@AshleyNunn I am betting it also glows in the dark and makes a yip yip yip noise that would crack the unbreakable casings on the invading robots as well as making zombies heads explode.
 
That sleigh thing is awesome.
 
user15026
@James This is very true, it would be very effective!
 
@John Damn Straight
@AshleyNunn It might be the smallest fluffiest polarbear ever as well...
 
user15026
1:15 AM
@James Either way, it is cute yet creepy and would make an excellent addition to any security arsenal.
 
@AshleyNunn :) I so need to make a game with this guy in it now, hehe.
 
@badp s/insuntingly/insultingly
 
user15026
@James hahahahaha yes
 
Oh, someone already mentioned the typo. My bad.
@badp I'd use the "Plan for trouble" label on the "Never use the same password for everything" image, personally.
Since it's never your fault when some site you signed up for ends up storing your password in C:\PASSWORDS.TXT

Q: Once I complete certain missions in the Far Cry 3 Story line, can I revisit old islands?

Zero StackBasically what I want to know is this: Is there a free roam mode available after you finish the main story line? I want to collect all of the items, but I want to make sure that part of the world doesn't 'lock me out' by doing specific missions. Should I gather all items from each island as so...

 
Please come join us as we celebrate the spirit of giving (each other Steam games). We only have 5 users signed up as so far, but I hope that with more people we can have a more fun secret santa.

@InvaderSkoodge Fuck yeah, Queen
 
Is there an official way to install mods for Skyrim? I remember hearing something about a mod library on Steam.
 
Hello bridge
 
@InvaderSkoodge steam workshop?
 
@agent86 Maybe?
I have never installed a mod for a game before in my life.
 
@InvaderSkoodge just click on skyrim in your steam game library, then click the "browse the workshop" button
it's right under the list of friends with that game
 
1:51 AM
Oh that was easy.
Thanks!
 
enjoy :)
 
@Fredy31 No crashes through message? You're dead to me.
 
crashes through FUCK YOU YOU ARE DEAD TO ME TOO.

@Fredy31 That's better.
 
@Wipqozn now I'm pretty much thinking this. youtube.com/watch?v=OFKUnfwBPTU
 
2:06 AM
@Fredy31 Doctor Who flashbacks.
 
Yup
Just saw that episode
 
@Fredy31 I feel like watching it now.
 
Let me remind you thats a 3 parter
 
Ugh all the UI mods for Skyrim require stuff from outside Steam.
 
@Fredy31 I know. That's why I'm not watching it now :P
I'll probably do that friday, once my exams are done.
@badp How many players does the Torchlight 2 multiplayer support?
Okay, 6 players. That's good.

@James That is a lot of boxes, mr giggly-pants. Whatcha got going on there?
 
Mods this looks like the same person. He has the same random Gravatar and stuff too.
 
user15026
3:04 AM
@InvaderSkoodge Yeah, I wonder if they just accidentally created two accounts?
 
user15026
That's my hope, anyhow.
 
@AshleyNunn The first was/is unregistered
 
@AshleyNunn New computer :D
 
Civ 5's GOTY upgrade is 33% cheaper than G&K.
 
user15026
@James O.o I always wanted to build my own someday, but I have no idea what I am doing, so I would likely end up with the One Piece at a Time of computers
 
user15026
3:10 AM
Or blow something up.
 
I can throw cubes at each other! Woo!
@Ullallulloo Last I checked, GoTY edition didn't include G&K

Q: Kina's Gratitude Crystals Glitch?

TriciaShe asks for someone to plow the fields but then I have to put away pumpkins again. I've done it 3 times now and there is still no option to go get the head mole-guy. I haven't done the harp thing there is that possibly what keeps resetting it?

 
@RavenDreamer oh
 
@James How many GPUs did you buy?
 
It doesn't say what it includes.
 
3:15 AM
What's with all the EVGA if not multiple cards?
 
@RavenDreamer What game?
 
@Ullallulloo The one I've been developing.
 
@RavenDreamer Oh, cool.
 
And I'm being facetious. I can't throw cubes. Yet. But I can collide them. And uncollide them. (The latter being the harder part)
> Includes the Following Civilization V content
All 4 Cradle of Civilization Map Packs (Mediterranean, Asia, Americas, Mesopotamia)

@RavenDreamer 3
@AshleyNunn They are fairly straight forward really once you learn all the components.. and putting one together certainly teaches you what they all are :D
 
3:17 AM
@James Are you're using them all?
Gorram.
 
@RavenDreamer Well, fine. :P
 
Color me impressed by your silicon mounds.
 
user15026
@RavenDreamer Yay throwing things!
 
@James Back in my day they didn't remove the metal on the first CD drive bay. It was a requirement that you cut yourself trying to get it out on your first build.
 
@RavenDreamer >8)
 
user15026
3:20 AM
@James Yeah, its on my list of things to do someday when I have the money to fix it when I invariably screw up and explode stuff
 
@OrigamiRobot Back in my day we had floppy drives and were amazed with hard drives that had over 40MB of storage man :D
 
user15026
(I am not a very techy person)
 
@James I'm just saying I had to make a blood sacrifice to the PC gods on my first build. Kids have it easy these days. TAINT RIGHT!
 
user15026
I remember once when I had a problem with one of my Kobo readers, I called tech support, explained what it was doing, and got sent up teh chain of support because no one could believe that mine was doing what it was, and no one had any idea it could do that.
 
@James You went from floppy to hard and are impressed with the size. Got it.
 
user15026
3:22 AM
@RavenDreamer .....augh.
 
@AshleyNunn ;3
 
user15026
@RavenDreamer Oh, you. ;)
 
@OrigamiRobot haha, most heatsinks still require the bloodtoll man ;)
@RavenDreamer /facepalm
 
@RavenDreamer ಠ_ಠ
 
@James I've never cut myself on a heatsink. I always assumed they were there to make the first time builder go "OH MY GOD AM I GOING TO BREAK IT?!?!?!"
 
user15026
3:23 AM
@James I am not sure I am okay with anything that wants a sacrifice...I will stick with my nice desktop inna box from future shop.
 
@OrigamiRobot I have built 2 computers. The one I installed a custom heat sink on took a blood toll.
 
I have been spared so far in that regard.
Next time perhaps...
 
I have debated buying a new graphics card
I've decided SLI isn't worth it.
 
I am pretty sure I have never bled on either of the two computers I built
 
Should have bought a 670 instead of two 560 TI's
 
user15026
3:26 AM
@OrigamiRobot Your time will come, mwahahahaha
 
user15026
Does it count if I get paper cuts from the box I pull mine out of? XD
 
@murgatroid99 Blasphemy!
 
user15026
....why do my words look weird
 
@AshleyNunn :O You are against Thanks Giving!?
 
@AshleyNunn you turned on fixed font somehow
 
3:28 AM
(Thanksgiving is a Ritual Sacrifice :))
 
HI CHAT
GUESS WHO ISN'T PAYING FOR HIS OWN BOOZE THIS WEEK
 
user15026
@James I dont have to give blood to eat turkey!
 
@James So are taxes.
 
user15026
@RavenDreamer Weiird, Okay then
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz I suspect you. I have a jealous.
 
3:29 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm guessing your caps mean partaking has already begun!
 
@AshleyNunn So I am attending a week long meeting of my entire team from all over US.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz And it comes with free alcohol?
 
The hotel we are staying in does a managers reception for 2 hours every evening. There is an open bar. With free bourbon. Lots of bourbon.
@AshleyNunn BUT
Even better
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz How can it possibly get better?
 
after said reception, is dinner. All 20 of us went to a restaurant around the corner from hotel.
Big boss man says he is picking up the tab for everyone.
 
user15026
3:30 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Whaaaaaat
 
BUT! We are all seated at a row of a bunch of tables.
in short, I need not interact with any superior or person whom I must moderate drinking around during or after dinner until tomorrow morning.
Also, this restaurant is a place with 100 beers on tap.
SOOOOOOO me and newly discovered fellow beer nerd decide we will order expensive high gravity belgian stuff.
5 round of it!
Allagash Black? YESSIR.
etc.
Oh yeah, the bald dude over there has the bill.
Etc.
And now, many beers later I am here to grace you with my presence.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz That sounds postively delightful.
 
user15026
Yay for fellow beer nerds, copious alcohol, and not needing to pay!
 
user15026
Also, I totally watched Muppets Take Manhattan today because of you.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yard house?
 
user15026
3:33 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I would make it a goal to drink one of each just to say I did
 
@James No some bewilderingly named not-mexican place named 'Taco Mac'
@AshleyNunn This place has a frequent drinker program called 'Brew-niversity' with various rewards for number of different beers drunk.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz That sounds like awesome.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oddness! But who cares as long as its tasty and beery :)
 
user15026
Be a good way to try a shitload of new to me stuff.
 
user15026
3:37 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Man, that is actually quite awesome. XD
 
@James Indeed. They also had not-terrible-for-being-in-the-south-Buffalo Wings
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz What makes a non-terrible Buffalo Wing? (I assume I have only ever had terrible ones, being in Canada and all)
 
@AshleyNunn I don't know why you would assume that
seeing as you are quite close to Buffalo
I would hope you are able to get decent buffalo wings there
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz I guess that is true, but I tend to assume that the border ruins things XD
 
Oh wow, Snoop Lion actually guested on one of those "Epic Rap Battles of History" videos. I guess maybe this one isn't so terrible as a result. (Most of these are very terrible.)

Q: The World-Eater's Eyrie - xbox Skyrim - Broken Ring Puzzle Door with Diamond Claw in Skuldafn Temple

PilnockI have browsed all of the google hoping to find an answer to my problem. I am in Skuldafn Temple, and I'm having the same problem others seem to have had with the ring puzzle door. Initially, the rings wouldn't move at all. I went back one loading screen and returned to fix it. Now, the pattern ...

 
Snoop "Lion"
 
@InvaderSkoodge w/e man point is he redeems an otherwise terrible gimmick youtube series
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Snoop Lion? What, is he working his way up the food chain?
 
I never listened to much Snoop Dogg. I didn't get into rap until within the past few years, and it was a short-lived foray.
 
@AshleyNunn He switched to Snoop Lion last year and released a Reggae Album.
> On July 31, 2012, Snoop introduced a new stage name, Snoop Lion. He told reporters that he was rechristened Snoop Lion by a Rastafarian priest in Jamaica.[25] In response to Frank Ocean coming out, Snoop said hip hop was ready to accept a gay rapper.[26] Snoop recorded an original song for the 2012 fighting game Tekken Tag Tournament 2, titled "Knocc 'Em Down"; and makes a special appearance as a non-playable character in "The Snoop Dogg Stage" arena.[27][28]
 
user15026
3:51 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz .....huh. Okay then.
 
user15026
That's one of the weirder things I have listened to today.
 
I have barely been able to watch YouTube all day today.
I seriously don't understand how it can be so inconsistent.
Honestly, though this is the best reggae song ever made.
 
@InvaderSkoodge WRONG.
 
I wasn't actually being serious, but Informer is better than whatever this is.
 
Bridge, should I make myself coffee, or go downstairs and buy coffee?
 
user15026
3:55 AM
Unfortunately, reggae is one of those genres I just don't have an appreciation for.
 
@InvaderSkoodge Incorrect. Jimmy Cliff is the motherfucking king.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz I say buy, but I suck at making my own coffee.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Never heard of him before, but I am about exhausted listing reggae songs after Informer and King of the Dancehall.
 
also acceptable.
Jimmy Cliff is a legend.
Watch the movie "The harder They Come" sometime. Amazing film.
 
This is not my kind of music.
 
3:58 AM
@AshleyNunn The track I just linked is worth checking out even if you don't know/care for reggae
@AshleyNunn That was less an either/or, and more of a 'should I do either of these things at all"
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz How much do you want coffee?
 
Jimmy Cliff has such an amaaaaaaaaaaziiiiing voice.
@AshleyNunn I'm not sure.
On the one hand, I don't need to stay awake any longer than my body insists on doing so.
On the other hand, If I had coffee, I could pour rum into it.
And that is kind of tempting.
 
You could have rum without coffee.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz I can see how rum + coffee might be a tasty temptation.
 
RUM + REGGAE IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW
 
4:00 AM
@InvaderSkoodge I coooooouuuuuulllllllldddddddd.
 
No wonder I don't like reggae. I also don't like rum.
 
@InvaderSkoodge But I have no ice. And I don't really feel like just drinking shots off the bottle.
That feels sleazier than I am interested in being.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz He does. It's not my usual style of music, but I appreciate his voice.
 
(says the guy who is already decidedly and obviously intoxicated.)
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz If you are in a hotel (which I presume you are), there should be an ice machine in the hallway, right?
 
4:01 AM
@InvaderSkoodge It's on the opposite corner of the floor.
that's like... a long walk... man.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz That is a grand obstacle. But wouldn't buying coffee also be a trek?
 
@AshleyNunn yes. Which is why i'd probably just make my own.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz What do you do for food when you are living out of a hotel for a long period of time? Generally rooms don't have microwaves, so re-heating/cooking stuff is difficult/impossible.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz That strikes me as the best plan, if you want to avoid the aforementioned sleaziness of drinking shots off the bottle.
 
I'm going to Orlando for a week starting Saturday and I'd rather not have to spend money to eat out every single meal if I could help it.
 
4:07 AM
@InvaderSkoodge So a few things:
1) I go out of my way to try to book rooms with a microwave/fridge - if not a full kitchen (Extended stay chains like Staybridge Suites, Candlewood, Townplace Suites are amazing for this)
2) I order delivery fairly often because I am lazy and because grubhub is just so goddamned easy/convenient.
 
That does sound like a good first step.
 
3) I do basically eat out every single meal for the most part, unless I am eating leftovers. It is just what you do. if you are travelling for work, your employer ought to be footing that bill anyway.
(admittedly, in my case, it is in the form of a per diem, which, if I don't spend, I get to pocket the excess, which is an incentive to eat frugally anyway, but... yeah.)_
the point is, they ought to be paying for it.
 
No, I'm going with my fiancee. I had the week off work (have to spend days of or else lose them), and then the next thing I knew I had plane tickets to Orlando.
I'll just prep myself for the bill, then.
 
@InvaderSkoodge In that case, if you really intend to cheapskate out on food on vacation, you want to get an extended stay suite and go grocery shopping.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I plan on having some nice dinners out and that, but on the other nights I was wondering if there were any clever tricks.
 
4:10 AM
But I'd advise you to just swallow the bill and eat fast food and such to save money as needed, because the last thing you want to worry about on vacation is cooking dinner.
@InvaderSkoodge Some hotels do a managers reception/happy hour. At some hotels, this includes hot food/hors d'oeuvres that a meal can be made out of.
i.e. I stayed at a hotel in seattle for a month that, mon-thurs did a bbq with free burgers and dogs.
that was awesome.
(Said bbq also featured free beer)
 
I'll definitely check out what the hotel offers.
 
Also, stay at a hotel w/ a good free breakfast and eat heartily at that
etc.
 
Am I going insane or did I just see a sleigh?
 
user15026
@Brant Well, you might still be insane, but the sleighs aren't part of that XD They happen when people leave the room :)

Q: What is the difference between a stack decoupler and a stack separator?

The Lazy DBASo what is the functional difference between a stack decoupler and a stack separator? Why might I use one over the other? In what cases would I want to choose the TR-18D Stack Separator over the lighter TR-18A Stack Decoupler?

 
4:19 AM
@Brant Maybe you're just drunk.
Or maybe I'm projecting.
I'll be happy to let you know which it is once you do me a favor and help me stop this room from spinning.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz holds the room very still
 
@AshleyNunn IT ISN'T WORKING.

Goddammit @GnomeSlice now this stupid "yellow scream" video is in my recommended videos on YouTube.
 
@AshleyNunn NO BUT IT WILL PROBABLY KEEP ME FROM HOLDING THE NOT-BETTER-NESS AGAINST YOU
 
4:24 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz If you lay on your back and stare at the ceiling it helps.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz THEN I WILL GIVE YOU ALL THE CUPCAKES...DO YOU LIKE CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA
 
@AshleyNunn CHOCOLATE
@InvaderSkoodge LIAR
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz THEN HERE ARE SOME CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES WITH CHOCOLATE FROSTING. gives

@John I made star shaped cake pops a while ago, are those acceptable?
 
5:15 AM
@AshleyNunn Eh, I guess so
 
user15026
@John It is cake! On a stick! Shaped like a star! How can you not love that.
 
@AshleyNunn Because I didn't know it was on a stick!
 
user15026
@John Do you feel better knowing it is on a stick? Everything is better on a stick.
 
@AshleyNunn Why yes, I do :)
And yes, everything is

@John Next time I get in a crazy take over the kitchen and bake for hours mood, I think I m going to make pies on sticks

they implement a new site, performance is crap, I check it out, told them their blatant disregard for the minimum spec is the problem, require that they upgrade to the minimum spec before I'm even willing to look at the issue, state the minimum spec is 16GB of ram, quad core xeon
they upgrade the server, VM using 2 cores, 16GB of ram, complain it's still sluggish
I tell them a quad core xeon shows up as 8 cores, and that's what I was expecting, refuse to provide any assistance until they meet the minimum spec
implementation team makes a formal complaint against me
 
Now, that's depressing. It's been to the day 40 years since any human walked on the moon. :(
 
@MartinSojka "It's been to the day 40 years since they faked any human walking on the moon"
 
@pixel Oh no, Hollywood fakes it yearly if not monthly.
 
@MartinSojka no, hollywood is completely real
everything they do is factual and meaningful
I would hate to be any of the actors in modern movies, all that perilous flirting with death constantly
 
@MartinSojka Pet hate: yearly
Whatever was wrong with annually?
@pixel Not to mention the actual dying.

@fredley indeed, all those people dying for our entertainment
 
@pixel Multiple times
 
@fredley "Annually" is the newer word, actually.
 
@MartinSojka really?
 
@fredley I would hate hated to be on the cast for chainsaw massacre
 
@pixel Saw?
 
11:17 AM
imagine making friends with people only for them to get chopped up
such a sad tale
 
@fredley Yes. "yearly" is from Old English, "annually" from the middle of the 16th century. Also, check the ngram viewer for both.
 
@fredley Dexter
 
@MartinSojka sob
@pixel Human Centipede
 
@fredley and when Goose died in TopGun, no wonder Tom Cruise turned out to be a weirdo
 
@pixel True

@LessPop_MoreFizz If I were a construction worker, I'd get a kick out of using my loudest tools at 7AM
