4:00 AM
There has been the Million dollar tournament twice at this time
 
@Fredy31 According to Wikipedia, they announced it in Oct 2010 and the beta started in August of 2011.
 
@AshleyNunn I still have to finish Cloud Atlas, and then the Night Angel trilogy, and then the Wheel of Time series, the Riftwar saga, The Corpse-Rat King, the Kingkiller chronicles..........
 
Yup thats what I just seen
 
user15026
@Fluttershy O.o That is an impressive backlog.
 
So about a year and a half of beta
 
4:01 AM
@Fluttershy "Early Access Holiday Pack"
 
WHAT IS THIS? MINECRAFT?
 
@AshleyNunn You've seen my Goodreads To-Read shelf. >_>
 
user15026
I am excited to know what you will think of the Night Angel books :)
 
Or just plain old unicode, for that matter: ✰
 
user15026
@Fluttershy Aye, I have!
 
4:02 AM
@Ullallulloo Hush. <_< I saw that after I linked it.
 
@Fredy31 You've only been able to buy into it since May though.
 
user15026
@Ktash Snowmen! ☃☃☃☃☃☃☃☃☃☃☃☃☃☃ hopes they aren't Doctor Who type snowmen
 
... never seen doctor who, but I'll assume that's bad
 
4:06 AM
Here is a link that I think will only work on Macs and iOS Devices. It is an excellent link however: http://💩.la
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Disappointed
 
user15026
@Ktash They attack people.

@Ullallulloo ....face massage?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz works fine on FF Win :)
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Works for me with Windows 7 and FF 17.
 
4:06 AM
@Ullallulloo You got a face message and a hatching chick! Way more awesome than snowmen
 
@Ullallulloo I guess Windows has caught up on the Emoji front then.
@Ullallulloo Or not.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone 🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣
 
@Ullallulloo Yeah, that is not what it looks like on a mac.
 
@Ullallulloo Squeeee
 
4:07 AM
💆💆💆
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Works in font, but not in the URL bar, which means FF isn't falling back in the URL bar completely
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone 😉
 
🐎
^ Unicode horse
 
Is this fun with Unicode night?
 
Unicode really does have everything.
 
4:10 AM
I set up a shortcut on my mac to get 💩 anytime i want it by typing (poop) because it is important to be able to type a poop.
 
🕞
Not all of these work.
 
They've all worked for me so far.
 - pretty sure this glyph was mac only last time I checked though.
 
Oh Steam... You are so mean to me. =(
 
Good evening, Bridge
 
@Fluttershy It seems like everybody is upset with Steam tonight.
 
4:15 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Looks like it.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I was upset over the TSW stuff. Now I'm just upset that it decided to put Dishonored back on sale after I spent all my money on TSW. =(
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm pretty upset with Steam most of the time. I don't think I've ever felt the experience of using it is enjoyable.
 
user15026
@fbueckert Evening!
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I've actually always liked it quite a bit. I mist say though that I'm annoyed by this Overlay bug. :/
 
4:19 AM
ಠ╭╮ಠ
 
@Ullallulloo It worked for me, though I had to scroll down a little to find it
 
My (other) internet friends have convinced me to pick up Torchlight 2 while it's on sale. If anyone is interested in splitting a 4 pack, ping me. It comes out to 7.50 each
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz It's buggy, crashy, and feels less than the sum of it's parts - a store, download manager and social network bolted on together in a way that isn't very coherent
 
wat
 
Kobe Bryant is pretty damned good at Basketball.
 
4:24 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Uh huh...
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Lookit dat dunk.

Q: How do I lock the mouse to the screen in Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion?

Daniel KaplanThis is really annoying: When Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion is in full screen mode, you can still move your mouse outside of the window. So if you've got a monitor to the right of the game, it prevents you from moving to the right by moving your mouse to the right side. It'll just go into t...

 
Raven and I have a child. We named him Robot Dreamer.

@OrigamiRobot I KNEW IT
 
43 mins ago, by Yi Jiang's Evil Clone
@Fluttershy It's what you get when the two of them had a child!
 
4:28 AM
Someone give me a reason to buy more games!
 
@DaveMcClelland You should buy some for me. The Giving Spirit is a good reason to buy games. Yup.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz This.
 
@DaveMcClelland You don't have a job! You don't need to socialize with friends! You have plenty of time to waste! You're incredibly rich and have lots of money to spend!
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'll gladly buy you games in return for $7.50 :)
@YiJiang'sEvilClone These are mostly valid reasons. Other than having a job and no free time. But DEALS!
 
No wait, you won't be incredibly rich if you don't have a job. Unless you inherited some from your grandparents!
Or won the lottery!
I like exclamation marks!
Why am I shouting all of a sudden!
This makes no sense!
!
 
4:31 AM
@DaveMcClelland That is an awfully specific number.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz That isn't loading for me either
 
@DaveMcClelland oic.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's why I'm looking for reasons to buy more games
 
No, scratch that, it loaded. That is a nice dunk

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Like I said, Kobe Bryant is pretty good at Basketball.

Q: How can I speed up turn calculation in single player games?

Yi Jiang's Evil CloneThe game's single player mode runs unbearably slowly for me. Each turn takes minutes to calculate, and the time always seem to be the same, even when there are no enemies on the field, such as during the last turn on the third battle in the campaign, where you're suppose to escort someone out of ...

 
Oh hey, Conclave supports running multiple characters in different tabs now.
 
Is this a good question? Is it even answerable?
 
As of yesterday.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone This is what's wrong with FreeCol.
 
4:35 AM
Also in yesterdays update: Condition countering. Becoming Focused now clears Dazed and vice versa. Same for Inspired and Afraid and a few other combos.
> We hope you enjoy these changes. We have lots more of them underway; look soon for the arrival of the new utility slot, where you can equip handy items such as a brace of throwing daggers, or a healing poultice. We've also got the new story and quests in development right now, as well as the long-awaited ability to find treasure while you adventure.
Whoooooooo! Loot!
 
4:53 AM
Why is Hulu showing me Snooki ads? D:
 
user15026
@Ullallulloo Because reasons?
 
user15026
That is pretty horrifying though
 
@AshleyNunn I dislike these reasons.
 
user15026
@Ullallulloo I do not blame you.

5:05 AM
@AshleyNunn no no no, it's because errors now.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Thank you for correcting me. :)
 
@AshleyNunn Gotta be proactive until it catches on.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz I will work on that.
 
I just spent like 2 hours watching nerdfighter videos and I don't even know why
... what'd I miss?
 
user15026
@Ktash Do you really need a reason for nerdfighteria?
 
5:08 AM
usually, no
but spending 2 hours doing so is a little much lol
 
user15026
@Ktash I have done that with Crash Course before.

A: I can't join a mine craft server

ponsfonzeYou are not doing it correctly.

I.. just... ugh
 
how is that question still open
also, the fonze really should be more awesome in his question answering abilities
 
people should post less 10k+ only links so that I can see them
 
5:12 AM
@Fluttershy How many downvotes did it get in the end?
 
or people should upvote my stuff to oblivion
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone The question got 7, the incredibly idiotic answer only ended at -2.
 
like this answer which has diagrams
 
@Ktash How did you make those diagrams? Are they from replay videos?
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Yes. Replay, screenshots and Photoshop were involved...
 
5:15 AM
Cool. Nice job.
 
Thank you
gah, I'm so far from 10k it isn't even funny
and I don't play many games these days so many answering/asking ability is declining
@AshleyNunn you should ask more Kingdom Hearts questions ;)
 
user15026
@Ktash When I am done moving, and unearth the PS2 again, I will, I swear!
 
@AshleyNunn Good
for many reasons, not the least of which KH is awesome and you should play it
but also because I need more questions that I can answer
 
user15026
@Ktash Exploiting me for your own gain, I see how it goes....
 
@AshleyNunn Of course. You know me
 
user15026
5:25 AM
@Ktash Tsk, tsk, tsk, an innocent girl like me, being taken advantage of so! My goodness! ;)
 
@AshleyNunn What can I say, I'm evil at heart
 
user15026
@Ktash I've noticed.
 
Mwhuahaha
 
user15026
@Ktash Now I'm worried ;)
 
as you should be
On a somewhat contradictory note, it's awesome to see Child's Play in the community ads!
 
user15026
5:30 AM
@Ktash This is very true. It delighted me.

Q: Minecraft (tekkit) - any way to undo using an alchemical tome?

shearn89So, as the title says: I made the foolish mistake of 'using' an alchemical tome, which means I now find it basically impossible to find ANYTHING on my transmutation slab. Is there a data file somewhere I can remove to wipe the settings for the transmutation tablet? Somewhere in a config folder? ...

 
5:43 AM
I hope this isn't too advertisement-y for a tag wiki
 
user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I dont see anything there
 
@AshleyNunn There should be a suggested edit there
It might be in the queue
 
user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Found them, and approved them. I thought they were good :)
 
6:00 AM
would there be any community interest in running a charity event of some sort for child's play??
nvm, I'll just write up a meta question. That'll be a better forum for discussion anyway

Q: Is there any interest in doing a community wide charity event?

KtashFirst off, this is not something that has been discussed with StackExchange. This is a community thing that has no official backing at this point. Would there be any interest from members of the community to run/participate in a charity event for Child's Play? If there is interest, I would proba...

@Lazers I beat you to it already Lazers. You're a little slow on the up-take there
 
user15026
@Ktash I like this idea! I dont know if i would be much help, but I like it :D
 
@AshleyNunn Mostly at this point it is about generating interest more than anything
seeing if it is something people would want to either participate in, donate to, or help out with

> The mobile web version of Google Maps is optimized for WebKit browsers such as Chrome and Safari. However, since Internet Explorer is not a WebKit browser, Windows Phone devices are not able to access Google Maps for the mobile web.
Statement from Google re: WP8 users not being able to access Google Maps
This is unbelievable, coming from Google of all companies
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Are you serious? That's terrible
code your site to work in all browsers... especially mobile
do they want a monoculture again?!?!
 
I don't want to sound too dramatic, but this, this is how the web dies. They're not even pretending that what they're doing is because of 'browser incompatibility'. It takes literally two minutes to put up an alternative landing page instead of redirection
 
7:31 AM
My best guess is it's because of the difference in touch events, but still, MS's touch events are not that difficult, and actually end up being better to use
gah, Google is going evil

Q: XCOM sniper cover bonus damage to aim?

JShoeSo when a sniper is in half cover, it can treat it as full cover with the Low Profile perk. Does that include reducing its aim according to full cover, or does that only apply to defense?

Q: What is the range of psi abilities?

Craig YoungI just got my first gifted (a sniper); it seems Mind Fray doesn't benefit from squad sight. (Which does make sense.) But I was wondering, at what range can psionic abilities be used? Other reading suggests there aren't any bonuses or penalties for range/cover/defense. Do psi-abilities have the s...

GODDAMMITAre Boots of Mobility viable on Varus? Since he has no escape mechanism other than his ult would having a greater passive speed prove to be most useful out of all the other boots?

Totally legit
 
PS. There's a pile of bad answers for you to clean up waiting in the mod queue, @badp

Is this bad enough to be considered worth deleting?
 
12:05 PM
@Fluttershy I've read 1 paragraph so far :P
 
12:50 PM
@Fredy31 The game is planned to be free to play man.
 
I miss hats
 
@fredley I miss 'em too
:(
 
:(
 
That was a really good cupcake Pinkie was eating
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone made me happy that hats are over. I am grateful now
 
besides, she's eating the cupcake from the wrong side. That must taste awful.
 
@badp She can eat (almost) anything. She's eaten burnt out cupcakes covered in hot sauce before. She'll be fine.

Q: Guild Wars 2 Chests content dependent on killing its boss?

MalaIn noticed that in the later maps in Guild Wars 2, there are some bosses with chests. Some of those chests can be opened by distracting the boss or sneaking to the chest. However, my attempts (with sample size N=very small), those chests didn't contain anything nice. So my question is: Is the...

That comment got down voted into hidden oblivion
I hate that attitude
DUUUR SUB IS ALSO BETTER DUUUR DUB IS ALSO BAD DUUUR LOSERS LOLOLOLOLOL
 
1:55 PM
@MBraedley *passes around freshly baked document.cookies*
@Wipqozn I still think your mistake is reading YouTube comments in the first place
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It is, but I do like bitching about how people piss me off.
 
2:18 PM
 
I use YouTube Comment Snob. It doesn't remove every comment, in case there might actually be (*gasp*) intelligible comments on YouTube
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone And that's your first mistake.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Also, the beauty of shutup.css is that it doesn't just remove Youtube comments, it removes all comments.

Q: Consequences of blowing up stations

Ismail KurucaI'm curious about the consequences, or the actual reputation loss, of blowing up a NPC station. Let's say a SPP XL or a Cattle Ranch L. I started as Humble Merchant, so its a little difficult for me to experiment since I literally have zero firepower in my fleet. And I really want to wipe a coup...

 
You know, it's not too hard to create a userscript that adds hats to your avatar. The problem is that noone else will see them.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone You should have did what @Fluttershy did. Just take a screenshot of you with the hat and make that your gravatar.
 
@Wipqozn It's a little hard when the hat actually sticks out of the gravatar
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It's better than nothing.
Also, it works fine with bowties. Just use the bowtie.
 
@Wipqozn It adds whitespace to the bottom under the bowtie. It is unsightly.
 
2:44 PM
Gravatars can have transparent background, right?
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone There is still an unsightly space that is misaligned damn it.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Not if you make it look as if it's natural...
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Drop shadow means it never will.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Ah shucks.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Works at the top, not at the bottom with the bowtie.
 
2:46 PM
Well only one solution then - reduce your rep to below 1000
@LessPop_MoreFizz There's also a bit on the right side
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Drop shadow has nothing to do w/ 1k rep
It's used in a variety of places
Lookit dat unsightly gap.
 
Drop shadow around gravatar isn't used anywhere else
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone orly.
 
From memory, yes
Drop shadow is visible to the side. This isn't going to work
I think I can hear the sigh of relief from @badp
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone You could of course, use photoshop to fill in the rest of the whitespace with some judicious clone tool work.
I mean, it's just the sky up there anyway.
You can easily fix this in your case.
 
2:53 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Well actually, the rest of the scene is still there. The problem mainly is that the rest of the image where the cupcake should be is actually a gingerbread house.
It shouldn't be too hard to get rid of, but I'm lazy
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It would look perfectly fine if you just extended the appropriate purple and green bits upwards via clone tool.
okay. time to go to work
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Delete your profile description. No drop shadow.
 
@fredley Oh right, yeah. It's not like my dropdown shenanigan is full of useful information anyway.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Exactly.

Yay for nice round number rep count

A: Are Boots of Mobility viable on Varus?

anthonyI wouldn't think so. I would stick with berserkers because all ranged dps needs them. So unless you want to try some crazy build out, go for it lol. http://www.squidoo.com/itunesgiftcardsfree

Squidoo is a curated site. If you go to the footer of that page there's a 'report abuse' link.
I've already filed one. I'm not sure if multiple reports against the same page will make it go away faster.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone should we flag as spam?
 
@MBraedley yes
 
Oh yes, definitely.
The abuse form states that since every report is looked at by a real person, they might take days to process this one. More so that it's on a weekend
Just delete the spam here. The page is scammy anyway
 
Problem solved
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I've read this six times and what is ìthis
 
3:42 PM
Wow, this is a high scoring game Don't tell me the result!
 
oh okay it finally parses for me
 
@badp Was my English bad, or did you not have your morning coffee yet? :P
 
IT IS NOT MORNING
I just napped for a while ._.
 
@badp it is here
 
@badp Afternoon coffee then. Or evening.
 
3:47 PM
All this talk of coffee is making me hungry
 
@RonanForman YES. I miss the old server
 
@fredley So you'd like an FTB (that's a mod pack) server?
 
@RonanForman Yeah, I'd be up for that.
 
@RonanForman does FTB need a client side mod?
 
Life is slowly returning to normal, so I'll have a bit more time for playing MC
@MBraedley Yes
 
3:50 PM
@MBraedley Yes, you download a launcher and the pack auto-updates.
 
If it's that easy, I may play every now and again.
 
Hey! Which game is one here?
 
@MBraedley You enjoy FTB. It's highly technical/complex
 
@Alpha huh?
I hope this game doesn't go to OT. The DVR may not have recorded it if it had. GO CANADA GO!
