4:01 PM
@RonanForman We should be op on new server, and have server ssh access. This was the main problem with the old one, only Thomas had access
 
@fredley Yeah, we need to find a time to all discuss it, we also need to know which modpack to use.
 
@RonanForman Yes
Is @ThomasMcDonald even here any more?
 
@MBraedley Hockey?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz TSW just hates me, man. I downloaded 10GB overnight before a popup said it encountered an error and had to close. =\
 
@Wipqozn what else?
 
4:05 PM
@Fluttershy I downloaded like 1 GB overnight. I managed to finish downloading Iron Brigade. I hate/love you.
SEE MY INTERNET WORKS.
 
@Fluttershy Doesn't the client have some sort of download management / resuming function?
It's really nice having a computer with more than 2GB of RAM. So that I can waste it opening a bajillion tabs.

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I do the same thing.
 
OT. Let's hope this was all recorded.
 
@Wipqozn Do you remember the name of that album I linked you to?
 
@GnomeSlice No sir.
 
4:11 PM
Fuck
 
@TimStone Do you still have Chrome open with 100+ tabs and gigabytes of memory used? :D

Q: Is there way to turn-off auto-tagging of enemies in Far Cry 3's minimap?

VitalyBRight now, whenever an enemy fires on me or gets near me, I start to see them on the mini-map, as if they were tagged with the camera. With that on, not only I see always exactly where they are, but also the direction they are facing: I can live with camera tagging, because that, at least, req...

Q: How do I deal more DPS?

Meraj99I have been playing a few games co-op with teammates, and I have noticed that against (literally) all of them, I seem to be dealing the least DPS... even when they are a much lower level than me. Is there any way or some tips to deal more DPS?

Q: Do illusion spells work on dragons (Skyrim)?

ShirishAs I said, will stuff like Pacify/Harmony work on Dragons? If not, does it require any perks to do so?

 
@Wipqozn are you going to watch the game?
 
63 tabs open. One of the smaller tab groups isn't loaded though. I should take a look at about:memory - Firefox seems to be using a little more memory than it should...
 
@agent86 You seem fond of grumpy cat, so you may enjoy this
@MBraedley Oh my no. I don't like Hockey. I just heard my mother talking about who won.
 
4:15 PM
@Wipqozn so I don't have to worry about saying FUUUUUUUUUUUCK! in front of you.
 
@MBraedley No sir.
I assume you just finished watching it?
 
@Wipqozn yeah. OT was short
 
Yeah, heard it was a close game.
 
Also, I'm off. Going to Talay Thai with some friends.
 
4:18 PM
Terrible pun of the day!
 
tortoise shades Later ladies and gents.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone What pun?
 
@GnomeSlice One of the characters says "eyup" in the show. eYup is printed in a screen which resembles a MAc. iMac, eYup, et cetera.
 
@GnomeSlice Try refreshing if his is "Image Not Found".
 
@Wipqozn Oh. Okay, I didn't get that.
 
4:20 PM
@Wipqozn Applejack's brother is called Big McIntosh.
 
My Little Punny
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone That too.
Who is also the one that says it.
but okay, I'm off.
 
@GnomeSlice Only because the spammer was too stupid (smart?) to actually post a link anywhere
Still flagging though.
 
4:25 PM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Heh, 'stupid (smart?)'
@YiJiang'sEvilClone There IS a link in his profile.
 
@GnomeSlice Oh, there wasn't one a few minutes ago.
 
Album of the day: tracer
Four tracks, but an awesome story-driven album anyway.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone er... er... er... er...
YOU AREN'T EVEN JOKING
 
@badp They belong to the Apple family. Every member's name have something to do with apples.
The McIntosh Red (or McIntosh; colloquially, the Mac) is an apple cultivar with red and green skin, a tart flavor, and tender white flesh. It ripens in late September. It is traditionally the most popular cultivar in Eastern Canada and New England, well known for the pink applesauce unpeeled McIntoshes make. It is also well-suited for cider and pies. It is common to find this cultivar packed in children's lunches in North America owing to its small to medium size and longstanding reputation as a healthy snack. History Every McIntosh apple has a direct lineage to a single tree discovere...
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Granny Smith, McIntosh, Applejack, Applebloom, and Braeburn! =D
 
4:33 PM
@Fluttershy Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, Apple Fritters, Babs
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I apparently haven't met them yet. >_>
 
@GnomeSlice The answer is still not an answer.
 
WHO JUST PINGED ME
Right when the rock hit me in the head in this game.
 
@Fluttershy First episode. They were only mentioned by name I think.
 
PING
IT WAS WEIRD
 
4:34 PM
@GnomeSlice PONG
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Oh. Okay
 
Never mind, it's gone now.
 
@fbueckert s...sarcasm.
 
@fredley I'm no Scott Manley though
 
4:37 PM
@MBraedley Explosions are a little more significant in real life too. As are stranding people in space
 
@fredley But hey, at least we're in SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE, right?
 
@fredley it's hard to do a mission to Mars with just a 3 man capsule as well
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone In SPAAAAAAAAAAAACE, no one can hear you SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
 
Better start selling those one way tickets to Lower Earth Orbit
 
@MBraedley Yeah. Real astronauts also breathe.
FUCK
 
4:42 PM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Babs didn't show up until season 3
 
afk'd in inventory rather than paused MC game. Creeper blows me and my chest of expensive items away. Lost everything :'-(
 
@murgatroid99 Right. But she's still in the family.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Holy crap is it actually spelled that way?
 
@BenBrocka Yup... why?
 
Huh, I've always thought it was spelled the same was as the computer brand
 
4:47 PM
Does the a make a difference in pronunciation?
 
No, but McIntosh just looks weird
 
Waze is frustrating. I see an incorrect report of mine and I can't do anything about it despite being in my "editing area." I can't also edit streets in my "editing area" or add landmarks in my "editing area."
At least Stack Exchange's got reputation, which is just a number
This is just a maze of requirements, all alike and all different, one per action, most of which are non-obvious
 
@badp I sent a correction once to Google Maps
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Me too.
And more than once to Navteq.
 
After a month they sent back an automated reply telling me they're still waiting for more reports to corroborate
 
4:50 PM
They do correct things sometimes
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Oh I just got a reply ~3 months later about the thing having been fixed.
 
Bill Amend is a genius: League of the Ancients
 
Two days before classes start, and my Adobe CS5 product key is fucking invalid.
THANKS ADOBE, YOU PIECE OF SHIT.
 
@GnomeSlice Chill dude.
 
I need this stuff man
 
4:58 PM
Did you get a subscription?
Adobe should have phone-in support. Look on their website for the numbers.
 
@GnomeSlice You have two days. That's 48 hours! Probably more to your first assignment.
 
Huh, GameSpot just put up a 5 page feature of the Fighting is Magic MLP fan game: gamespot.com/features/…
The parts about what goes into making a fighting game is fairly interesting
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I saw that. I didn't even know Celestia or the CMC were confirmed characters
 
@TimStone That's with how many tabs open?
 
5:06 PM
Apparently I only have 65 tabs open at the moment, though.
14 of which are chat
 
@TimStone uh. Across how many windows?
 
Does the chat userscripts negatively affect memory usage?
 
@badp Two right now.
 
@murgatroid99 I heard they were planning additional characters as downloadable content (which is freaking retarded, unless you're asking for extra money, just include them in the main game as updates)
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Maybe, but I'm not sure to what extent. livequery is super dumb though, I need to remove that dependency.
 
5:09 PM
@TimStone Typically whenever I hit 20 I just declare bankruptcy. Right click on this tab, close tabs to the right
 
I can't be bothered to use bookmarks so tabs just start piling up.
O_o
 
WAIT
I GOT IT
 
I am apparently using 90% of my physical memory though, the hell?
 
YES
 
@TimStone Close tabs to the right. It's what real men do.
 
5:11 PM
No, it's not Chrome :P
 
Fail :P
 
Close tabs to the right. Use Chrome. It's what real men do.
 
besides what you posted totally looks like about:memory from Chrome.
which is now chrome://memory-redirect/ for whatever reason.
 
Apparently it's partially Chrome.
 
@TimStone Are you trying to print the internet?
 
5:13 PM
I guess so
No idea what was going on there, just restarted the service.
 
@TimStone How much RAM do you have on the machine anyway?
 
16 GB
 
@TimStone Making an internet archive is a noble endeavour, but I'd rather not see webpages being plastered as well by "PLZ TO NOT PRINT THINK OF THE TREES" spam.

Q: Which one is the best Champion in LoL with theese criterias?

IÅŸIk Ä°ÅŸÄ°tEnIt shold be: - Ranged or Melee but Powerful (doesnt matter but i prefer ranged) - High health - Powerful skilled - if it has smt. like turrets in malthazar or smt. like tibbers in annie it will be good

 
5:15 PM
Think of the trees - print on kittens instead.
 
Hmm, the memory-hogging thing from Chrome is the GPU process.
 
@TimStone Try not to print the internet next time
 
@Lazers Should I bother fixing this post?
 
CTRL+P ALL THE THINGS!
 
5:17 PM
heh, GPU process 300MB, Browser 200MB, GMail 180MB
6 tabs open
 
It's going to be closed anyway, right?
 
Trying out this multiple steam libraries thing. Maybe I can actually install some small games local to my laptop now instead of ALL of them being on external
Also it means I can probably remove this junction mess
 
@BenBrocka I think it was so that they could release it before they finished all of the characters
 
@murgatroid99 Yeah, but they could release new post release versions. Making free DLC instead of updates is just a good way to make sure far less people actually get the content
 
@BenBrocka I suspect it's a technical problem
 
5:23 PM
Maybe, I have no idea how they're implimenting it
 
@Ullallulloo You died! D=
 
I get their email updates but they all go into the trash until one says "HEY WE ACTUALLY RELEASED IT"
I wish more newsletters let you pick "Don't send me hype, just send me ONE email when it's done"
 
@Fluttershy D:
Did you guys fail too?
 
@Ullallulloo Yeah. I'm back at the quest selection.
 
@Ullallulloo Yes, if anyone dies, the mission is failed for everyone.
 
5:43 PM
I don't suppose anyone is online with 5 minutes spare and a US Steam account? :)
 
@WilliamHilsum That would depend on what is needed. <_<
 
Not actually in the US, but I do happen to have a VPN connection to the US right now
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Hmm, don't VPN purchases get blocked? :/
@Fluttershy 4 games that I want are cheaper in USD :/ Will pay back via Paypal immediately...
 
@WilliamHilsum What games? I'll have to see if I can do it.
 
Don't know. Not the primary purpose of the connection, though I think I did make a purchase once on it.
It was less than a dollar though
 
5:46 PM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Thank's so much for the offer... If Fluttershy can do it, no need... just a bit nervous for both of us... heard about accounts being blocked and just a little scared!

Q: How to spot corp thieves?

Mad ScientistEVE Online is a game where all kinds of scams take place, and most of them are within the rules of the game. Corp thieves are a particular danger once a corporation amasses significant assets. The corporation I'm a member of (but not a director) was robbed very recently, and I'd like some suggest...

Q: Different editions of Rift

ERJI've seen three different editions. Standard Edition Ashes of History Collector's Edition Infinity Edition The Standard Edition is pretty self evident, but what is the difference (if any) between Ashes of History and Infinity?

 
YESSSS!
@WilliamHilsum What are the games?
 
sorry, trying to get links now
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/877/ - $3.74
http://store.steampowered.com/app/20920/ - $7.49
http://store.steampowered.com/app/97100/ - $3.74 for game, then $2.49 for the content pack further down the page
 
x_x I'm not gonna be able to help. =( Sorry.
 
5:52 PM
ahh :( No worries, thanks anyway
 
@Wipqozn comics
 
@BenBrocka Got my first gold level completed on a Gravity Rush challenge! =D
There's also apparently another generator/challenge in Auldnoir, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. =\
 
@Fluttershy Cool. I was usually just a few seconds/navi kills shy of them
@Fluttershy is it on your map?
 
@BenBrocka I did the Auldnoir Time Attack one and just kept doing the gravity kick. <_<
 
Gravity kick is the best anything ever
 
5:54 PM
@BenBrocka Not yet. Don't they not appear until you find them?
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone hehe, are you ok to do it now? If you are fine with it
 
@Fluttershy They appear when they're unlocked...which is usually when you find the island though
 
@BenBrocka I'm looking at the map on the Wikia. There are two on the far right side that don't appear on my map for the area I'm currently in.
 
I'd ignore them for now, they probably unlock with the story
 
...Anyone else here with a Steam US account that can help me within the next 5 minutes!? :(
 
5:57 PM
@BenBrocka This "@Wipqozn's fault" thing is catching on.
 
6:07 PM
@WilliamHilsum Sure.
Although I think some deals ended. :(
Shoot, I'm slow. :(
 
No worries, got everything other than Section 8 Prejudice... Thanks anyway
I need to get a private ip/proxy/something in America so I don't have to bother people
...or Ukraine now they get much much cheaper games!
 
Damn you, Dishonored.
 
@Ullallulloo Wahoo, top two most installed apps after steam are both Adobe! Go job security
 
@Ktash That isn't a hardware survey! I mean, nothing that bad, but, I wonder if people realise it submits more info than that...
 
6:14 PM
I wouldn't mind, but, I think I did this a while ago (it is opt in isn't it?) and I didn't know it looked at that!
Lol, I love that 100% of people who did the Steam Survey have steam!!!
 
@Fluttershy cc:@Wipqozn
 
Yes, it is opt-in
and I think the one I did was specifically hardware when I did it, but I could be wrong
looks like they collected that data a while ago, so that could have been hardware/software
 
They started including software a while ago, I think it announces that
it's not the same hardware survey they did 5 years ago
 
@gnomeslice how much of that do we have to watch before it gets funny?
 
@sarge_smith It's an acquired taste.
 
6:18 PM
gotcha
 
> Batman Franchise: -0~75%
 
I already own Arkham City, but I look at that sale and I want to buy it... why?!?!
 
Steam's homepage is cluttered with deals and I care about none of them.
(although Borderlands 1 for €5 is nice.)
 
too many games to play already... Get thee behind me, steam
 
@Wipqozn NO.
 
6:28 PM
does anybody here read romanticallyapocalyptic.com?
 
6:39 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I finally got TSW to install! Now I can't create a character because their stupid naming setup. >_<
 
6:49 PM
I went to buy Dishonored because it was on sale and found out that apparently I had already bought it at some point. Huh.
 
Have you been Steam Saleing drunk again @TimStone?
 
Apparently so!
Huh, it seems I got it back in November. For the same price though, so I guess that works out.
 
Wow shields in Find Mii are such BS
 
7:05 PM
Whoops, that's the GOTY version
 
user15026
@BenBrocka So true.
 
@Fluttershy Did I miss TSW being on sale somewhere?
 
@Powerlord It was 25% off on Steam and $18 on Amazon.
 
@Fluttershy Oh. Well, apparently its normal price on Steam and Amazon again. >:|
 
TSW?
 
7:15 PM
YouTube video isn't playing on 480p? Switch to 720p and it loads. YouTube is the worst.
 
@sarge_smith The Secret World.
 
ahhh
 
I hear the AI is going to sound less like GLaDOS in the final version of this movie. :/
 
I hope they don't actually do that... it tickles me to think that glados fought for humans before the science time
 
7:19 PM
@Powerlord Oh my goodness, this looks awesome.

Q: CS:S Conole command to increase movement speed?

PaedowIs there a console command in Counter Strike: Source to increase the movement? Or is there any other way by modifying game files? Or is there at least a script for this?

 
@OrigamiRobot I loled
@Lazers If you're talking about the server-side, there probably is. If you're talking about the client side, go the f' away cheater.
(CS:S being a multi-player-only game)
 
7:42 PM
@AshleyNunn I lost 15 miis before I got one with a yellow shirt
and that was the frist one in the game
 
7:53 PM
tells Steam to delete local content for Far Cry 2. Steam launches Far Cry 2. ಠ_ಠ
 
@Powerlord Really? That's like at least 25% of the reason people seem psyched for the movie
Not that I don't suspect hollywood would kill a good part of a movie for no reason though, that's kinda their MO
 
Yo dudes, I'm on a train.
 
@Mana Are there snacks on a train?!
 
@Powerlord YES.
There are snack's.
 
There are snacks on a mother-f'ing train!
 
8:03 PM
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA

That's weird, I just heard an emergency vehicle of some sort with a siren that sounded different than normal.
(the siren's up-down range was larger than normal)

8:24 PM
@Mana ಠ_ಠ
 
If anybody saw that answer disappear for a second...YOU DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING
 
@Mana You should grab the comment you did there.
 
@Mana It's okay, you exposed a terrible, terrible bug.
 
@GraceNote I'm trying to figure out how to.
 
8:28 PM
@Mana You... can't?
 
I'm not sure that I can.
Could your Grace possibly save the day here?
 
Let me rephase in less vague terms - you should take care of the comment you created from the conversion and attached to the question instead of carrying all the associated comments from the answer which you probably meant to bring.
Should've, at least, since I hit the X for you.
 
oh.
oops.
I totally forgot.
ahahaha.
 
There isn't a way to move comments from one post to another, at least not from a more successful botchery then what you did. Which I wouldn't suggest doing anyway.
 
:(
plz don't be mad
 
8:31 PM
I have no reason to be mad, haha.
 
Off with his diamond!
 
I'm not really sure there was a Queen of Diamonds in that story.
 
The Queen of Hearts was just a mannequin in the QoD's expert hands all along. We'll hear all about it in the sequel, as soon as Alice decided she needs to go deeper subwoofersplode
 
@GraceNote Mana can be the dancing diamond queen any day he wants, don't judge.
I'm feeling too lazy to feel pedantic, but the phrasing of the "converted to comment" history entry is totally inconsistent with all the others if anyone wants to report this most dire of issues.
 
In other news apparently somebody is porting Torchlight 2 to the Gameboy Color
although they forgot to also reduce the color depth
Baby steps I guess?
 
8:41 PM
@TimStone Stranger yet is that its syntax there is actually consistent with most reports on another interface... except on that interface, it uses a different syntax for comment conversion.
 
Huh. I call shenanigans.
 
should I buy the walking dead game for $7.50?
 
@Powerlord it's the copyright police. They're coming for your hard drive!
 
@agent86 YES
DO IT.
 
@agent86 That's less than half of what I spent on lunch yesterday, so I vote aye.
 
8:44 PM
@agent86 $7.50? Who's selling it for that price?
 
@TimStone I hope your lunch was tasty. also, I bet it had very little BRAAAAINS
 
meh, zombies. I don't really care about zombies.
 
@badp but Walking Dead isn't about the zombies
it's about the people.
 
@agent86 It was alright. Wholefoods is expensive. |:
 
@Powerlord I bought something from amazon during their holiday sale, and got a $5 off coupon for the price between now and the end of january.
 
8:44 PM
@Mana Is it the one with the daughter?
 
@agent86 Ah, OK.
 
ja kinda
 
I asked because it's still $12.50 or so on Steam.
 
@Powerlord yeah, I think amazon is price matching them at the moment
 
@agent86 Oh, that's right. I have that too.
 
8:45 PM
This being the last day of the Steam sale, they brought back 24 previous sales.
 
yeah, I saw that. if I had missed the previous few times civ5 was on sale, I would totally buy the DLC. but I didn't, so I'm all caught up. DAMN YOU CIV5
 
@agent86 So does that mean the price for e.g. Spec Ops The Line is $2.5?
 
hmm, spec ops: the line is like $2.50 after my codes
@badp yes, GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE.
 
I didn't realize how much that that nap was necessary
 
luckily, I HAVE TWO CODES
hahahaha
 
8:49 PM
I keep thinking I should buy Dark Souls, but then I remember I dislike Trial and Error gameplay.
 
I just cleaned out my closet today and made $25 off some old GB and PS2 games, so clearly the only way to spend that money is on MOAR GAMEZ
 
@agent86 It's the circle of life.

Q: Why do pinball machines/games have a nudge/shake/bump feature?

RetrosaurI've been playing a lot of iPhone pinball games recently, and I've noticed that almost all pinball games have some sort of a "bump", or a "shake", or a "nudge" feature within them. I've also seen the same thing in the Windows XP game Pinball, and shaking the table often results in the game first...

 
@Lazers If I could cast a normal close vote I would
 
@GnomeSlice It is a chained box
 
@fredley what
it's not supposed to beeeeee
 
9:38 PM
> Error (403) It seems you don't belong here!
 
f;lugfwgbliebe
@fredley try it now
 
@GnomeSlice I'm trying to figure out where this could be used other than a creepy dungeon in an RPG and I don't think it exists.
So if that's what you were going for, good job.
 
I guess
It's pretty bad.
 
It's a bit too up-tempo for that though
 
@fredley I'm not sure what this is
 
9:41 PM
@GnomeSlice It is an internet radio station
 
@GnomeSlice I think it's a saw that comes in at the end that feels out of place. Everything you were doing before it was ambient, and then it tries to add a melody. Either have it come in sooner so the melody is part of the song, or don't have it come in at all and keep it ambient.
 
@StrixVaria Yeah, that's a good observation.
Bah
 
@GnomeSlice If you don't stop saying everything you do is bad, people are only going to agree with you
2
 
@Lazers Does this need that many tags? O_o
 
@Fluttershy No, fixt.
 
9:57 PM
@GnomeSlice Ugh the tag you left on that question.
 
Yeeeeeeeah...
 
has no business being a tag unless Pinball is the actual name of an actual video game.
 
I'm bored but I don't want to focus give me something mindless to play for free.
