@Wipqozn All I know is that the course here has a rather nightmarish reputation
and that it's very much more about maths than computers
computers are, like, accidental
@badp but... computers are made out of math....
You'll be studying the maths though and how elevating two to a power and getting the remainder has interesting mathematical properties
@badp It is more Math, but you can reduce the amount of repetitive work involved by just making a program to do the repetitive work for you.
I also like MAth, and programming. So you know, good course for me. tortoise shades
user15026
Math is hard.
Tortoise shells are hard, too.
19:06
@Wipqozn This is how I treat math
I was writing programs to do the brute work for me in middle school
Oh, for crying out loud.
That's like the third time I've been punted out of Path of Exile, in the same map.
@fbueckert :(
At least I got an Increased Critical Damage gem before it punted me.
Yesterday, I had just beaten Merveil, and clicked on the doorway into the Forest, and got DCed :(
Had to go through the whole caverns and beat Merveil again
@fbueckert jealous
Oh, I finally got some support gems
Cold damage and chance to flee
@SaintWacko Chance to flee is annoying for melee characters.
19:11
@fbueckert Yeah, I stuck it on Fire Trap at first, and then realized that was stupid because it just made enemies run out of the fire -.-
I'm going to give it to my ranger
...which I haven't touched since I started my shadow
What class do you play?
@SaintWacko Witch
@fbueckert How is that? It sounds interesting
What skills do you use?
...Weird. I can log in, but my character's gone now.
@SaintWacko In beta, I made a summoner. Worked well for everything except bosses.
So this time, she's a spellcaster.
Mostly Fireball, Firestorm, Freezing Pulse, and Ice Nova.
I've got a pretty mixed bag on my shadow
I've got flicker strike and double strike on the clicks
@fbueckert You need to vote one of the three options in Conclave
The vote doesn't end as soon as majority is reached
19:14
and Fire Trap, Ice Spear, Frenzy, Raise Zombie, and the ice blast from the ground

It's using static portal coordinates, which written in code. Now i want to take coordiantes from ingress.com/intel map. But i can't find the way to do it. In i...

Q: Is it possible to take a screenshot from a dialog in Mass Effect 2?

Adam AroldI managed to bind a key to making a screenshot in Mass Effect 2. It works if I'm playing the game but as soon as I start a dialog with someone it is not working. Do you have any idea what could be the problem? Any workarounds?

Q: Mice left-clicking on their own in FPS games

Samuel FillmoreI just got the Aspire V3-571G-9686. I removed Windows 8 and installed Windows 7 x64 Ultimate on a new SSD. I've been playing SC2 on it without any issues with an external mouse. The mouse is well-behaved on everything else. It was when I installed and started playing Deus Ex: HR that the mouse b...

Nooo! It didn't save my gem! :(
@fbueckert You should probably burn down an orphanage or something.
@Wipqozn I'd so totally burn one down if I got my gem back.

A: Farming using Mob Spawners in Minecraft

christinai think you put a dropping from an animal or a mob on the sides/tops of the crafting table and then i think you put something in the middle but i forgot what it is. i think that how you make a mob or an animal spawner.

WHAT THE HELL, GAME!?
user15026
19:38
@fbueckert you sound like you are having a terrible time.
@AshleyNunn It keeps booting me out!
Whatever, screw it.
FF V time.
5 mins ago, by Wipqozn
@fbueckert You should probably burn down an orphanage or something.
@Wipqozn I'm getting closer!
@fbueckert OKay, well, the game just called, and it said it thinks you're a poopy face and that you eat poop. It also asked why you enjoy eating poop so much.
@Wipqozn You really want me to burn down an orphanage, don't you?
19:41
I think you should show that game who's the boss by burning down an orphanage or something.
@fbueckert It would Really show that game who's boss!
user15026
@wipqozn you are a terrible influence!

@AshleyNunn Thanks. I try.
@AshleyNunn So am I! That's probably why we get along so well.
@Wipqozn Only if the devs were in said orphanage.
user15026
@fbueckert I know. You two are a terrible combo. I think I will keep an eye on the news for any word of burning orphanages.
@AshleyNunn You'll know I'm involved since there will be a laptop set-up with Epic Villian Laugh set on an infinite loop.
19:44
@AshleyNunn Look for a tortoise nearby.
user15026
@wipqozn somehow I am not surprised that that would be your signature move.
user15026
@Ullallulloo like anyone would believe me when I said the tortoise did it.

Q: How do you delete your saved game?

StrixVariaHow do you delete your saved game and start over in Pokemon Black/White? I don't see the option anywhere.

@Lazers EVery so often I feel like re-playing Pokemon, but then I remember Nintendo insists on only allowing one save per cartridge.
@AshleyNunn IT's a fairly epic signature move.
Ok, try #3. If I get booted out again, then I'm saying screw it.
19:48
@fbueckert The devs are the best people on earth right now
@Wipqozn Emulator, savestates
@SaintWacko Not if they can't keep their damn servers up, they're not.
@Wipqozn I finally came to the realization that the fun part is playing through the game, so I didn't really mind deleting my game and starting over so I could do that again.
@fbueckert IT'S BETA
And it's still going better than D3's launch day!
@SaintWacko I have unreasonable expectations!
@fbueckert Clearly!
Just praise them for making the best ARPG since D2
19:50
Wow, Clarity's getting expensive. 100 mana at level 4.
user15026
I liked Pokemon when it was less complicated.
@AshleyNunn I liked it when there were only 151 of them
@fbueckert Wow. Is the increased mana regen enough to make up for it?
@SaintWacko 4.1/sec
@AshleyNunn It's pretty much as complicated as you want it to be.
19:52
@fbueckert How much is your base mana regen?
@SaintWacko ~5 or so.
@fbueckert Hm...
@SaintWacko Together, they're enough to sustain some pretty long spellcasting.
@fbueckert I wonder if I'd benefit from clarity on my shadow
I tend to have to use mana flasks in boss battles
@SaintWacko I rarely, if ever, need to use them.
user15026
19:55
@Ullallulloo it seems like I have to pay attention to too many things. Maybe I am just over thinking it. Like I tend to pick Pokemon based on cuteness, and that really isn't a viable strategy.
My mana regen is such that I can cast, and continue casting for a very long time.
And if I pause between spells, I never run out.
Nice
Well, I need to head up to church
back in a few hours to play PoE all night :D
20:08
Okay, I need to take a break now. That was a stressful sector.
@badp @fbueckert RedRider took his move.

Q: What happens when you get backstabbed while being buffed by the Battalion's Backup?

badpThe backstab is a guaranteed critical hit from behind for 600% of your maximum health. The Battalion's Backup, when activated, makes you immune to critical hits and minicrits (you receive regular damage instead) and, on top of that, it provides you with 35% damage resistance. What happens when ...

Q: Where Can I Find Stardrops?

YuckAs the title says, where can I find Stardrops? I'm having no trouble with drops / stealing for Planetdrops, Moondrops, and Sundrops, but I haven't had any luck with Stardrops. And, as it turns out, it seems that most of the familiars I'm using need Stardrops for the metamorphosis.

Q: How to quickly find points of interest (waypoints, entries, quests zones) in the randomly generated areas?

AntoIf you have a look at the main map of any act (U by default), you can notice that areas are oriented. For instance, in the first act's main map, Tidal Island is south of Terraces. And indeed, I've always found Terraces at the far south of the Tidal Island area. Same goes for some other areas...

Q: Ghost vs Drougr

Juniper Okay, so I went to Dead Man's Respite. There is a ghost there that seems to be completely unaware of my existence. He opened a magically sealed door and fought some drougr side-by-side with me at the end of the quest. He didn't take any of the treasure from Oolof One-Eye so I took all of it. Is ...

Facebook administration wants to know everything about me. Google mails me with weird attachment stuffs.
Facebook Technical Support worries about my account.
Wouldn't you also get such warm and fuzzy feelings?
@badp Oh, Facebook always means "warm and fuzzy" to me.
20:24
@winterswift Facebook just wants to be your bestest friend. Share all of your secrets to Facebook and maybe he won't ask for your birth certificate
user15026
@winterswift yeah and you likely snuggle porcupines or something, with that idea of warm and fuzzy.
@AshleyNunn The back of the porcupine is probably warm and fuzzy
@badp "Hey, friend, any chance I could grab your credit card number? I mean, I just want to help you, that's all."
@winterswift If you do have a credit card with this name, maybe I'll accept it's a real one!
@badp Sorry, your credit card ending in 0000 does not appear to be valid.

Q: Carrot and Potato Update

RyanSo have been running an older version of Minecraft for a while, which was before the update with carrots and potatoes. Now that I have updated to the latest version of the game, I was wondering how carrots and potatoes will spawn in the map. Will I be able to find them anywhere, or only in plac...

Oh wow, I've never seen such bigotry in my life
@badp ?
@Wipqozn Sorry, my standards prevent me from linking to such mental poison
@badp Very well then.
They need to be given the silent treatment worthy of people that claim that File Lockers are an inherent evil of society because that woman in India got raped in a bus and file lockers host files with "rape" in the title.
I'm not making this up.
Ars Technica just covered the website if you're interested. Don't give them your traffic.
21:03
OK, just got booted again.
Time for FF V.
Um, guys?
@MBraedley Take off every zig.
@badp What do you mean?
@MBraedley For great justice.
Dammit, the jerk has a cloaking device
21:13
@MBraedley I want to try this with ion cannons on every weapon, then send a drone to take out the oxygen unit.
whistling a tune
@MBraedley it gets worse from here.
Why aren't my weapons charging?!?
@MBraedley The question of every great FTL warrior-to-be.
At least it doesn't look like he has launchers
Nope, I was wrong
@MBraedley I like how it has eighteen systems.
21:17
@MBraedley the rebel flagship? yeah, it's got a launcher.
@MBraedley Is he cloaked?
@murgatroid99 Yes, so I'm just charging weapons until he uncloaks.
@MBraedley cloak disables enemy weapon charging
your weapons don't charge while the enemy is cloaked, I think...
What! That's ridiculous!
21:18
he's got one of every weapon (one beam, one ion, one missile, and one multishot laser)
@MBraedley It's kind of the main point of cloak
@MBraedley oh, haha, just wait. it gets worse. much worse.
this is the easy part.
judging by your ship's specs, I'd expect to lose, but you might get lucky!
I'm not sorry.
@agent86 I am on easy, so that's a point in my favour
21:20
@badp I was asleep 11 hours ago.
@LessPop_MoreFizz There's no need to, but you oughta look out.
@LessPop_MoreFizz If I zoom to 67% size I can see it's still on the star list!!!1111one
@MBraedley even on easy, this is a hard fight with 4 missiles and no teleporter.
@agent86 I might do it. He's down to 2 hull
but I'm out of missiles
Dammit, he fixed his cloak
@MBraedley like I said, this is the easy part.
you'll see if you take him down.
> What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces.
Why did I look at the Youtube top comments.
WHY.
21:24
Well, that's done, what's the hard part?
@LessPop_MoreFizz All dem toughguy meme reposts.
I have to do this again? What?
Gorilla Warfare.
@MBraedley not just again... twice more.
and each time, new surprises.

Q: Question on Bordelands 2 DLC's and XP levels

Saif BechanI have been playing Bordelands 2 for the last 2 weeks, and I am now at lvl 28 and almost finished the main story line. I also bought the season pass together with the game, and they are downloaded already to my console. At this point I had a lot of stuff on my radar, I have a few new side missio...

21:25
@agent86 SPOILERS!!!1one
@badp hey, I'm trying to be very careful
so shut it, you!
Wow, MoTN is 2 GB?
I mean, I didn't believe Amazon's "3 kB" for one second, but.
@badp ninjas thew a smokebomb and increased the file size while you weren't looking. they're sneaky like that.
@agent86 Ninjas took advantage of the distraction to steal your 'r'.
@badp damn those ninjas! always making me look like I accidentally a letter.
21:33
Uh-oh, this ain't looking so good...
sage nod
Yeah, this is a lost cause at this point
But hey, it's better than I've ever done before
If FTL is kinda like BoI, unce defeat him once defeating him all other times will be much easier
21:37
@badp unce unce unce unce
wub wub wub wub wub wub
shut up claptrap
@badp it doesn't get that much easier on future runs, it's more like a roguelike in that fashion.
at least with BoI you unlock stuff you can find on the next time around, and there aren't many builds that are just complete and utter fail
@agent86 part of the challenge is knowing what you're up against
probably 1/2 of the times I play I end up in a situation I can't resolve about halfway through, and beating the rebel flagship is a crapshoot
@badp in this game, it's like 20% or something knowing what you're up against. the other 80% is finding a set of gear that can actually take him down. most builds just don't work - the difficulty curve ramps so high in that last sector.
21:40
@agent86 Sounds like a game error :P
although the amount of builds that just don't work later on is non negligible in BoI too
You can take out Mom with most characters
@badp just an unforgiving game, I guess...
Mom's heart is also okay so long as you don't get slaughtered in your way there
Satan... is tough, though. If you have like 6 hearts and no full health/the sun you're screwed
Isaac pretty much requires 12 hearts and punishes you for peashooter builds
at least in BoI there's some level of skill involved... you can "play better" and maybe win
in this game, the level at which your skill level stops mattering is rather low
and ??? is like Isaac but worse
so if you relied on consumables for Isaac you're screwed
it's like playing a RTS where you can't control what units you get, and the final boss is a bad mutha who eats most units for breakfast. if you don't have the right combination of tools, you're done for.
21:45
You're making me all the happier that the FTL demo I played on OnLive was rather unconvincing
although you could make a point that it's the trip, not the destination
for the first dozen trips
@badp Oh boy, OnLive.
@winterswift is not actually bad. You see a game you like, you press a button and you're playing the demo, where the demo is actually the full game for 30 minutes
Then you realize you're not in the US and you can't buy anything anyway.
@badp! Just one of several people I would be okay with seeing.
I have a question about the Borderlands 2 season pass. Know you of it?
He's heard tales.
@badp No, I absolutely enjoy that feature. I just prefer the ability to actually get ultra-level graphics (when I buy the game) without like, a dedicated line to my house. Anyhow I'm off soon.
21:49
@RavenDreamer I own it for Xbox!
@winterswift I have an nVidia GeForce 9200M
that might not be helpful!
That is all
exclamation points!
@RavenDreamer Ask
21:49
@badp chokes a little
@badp One sec, grabbing a bottle of Dasani to wash down the horror.
I think I have the borderlands 2 season pass. (It came with my grahpics card, if that matters?) What does that get me?
AND HOW DO i GET IT?
@RavenDreamer All DLC.
And how do I avoid hitting capslock at inopportune times?
@badp Not the Mechromancer, right?
I guess there's a Steam code you can just redeem
@Ullallulloo Yes, that should be included
21:50
@badp Well, not quite. The 4 major DLC + Mechromancer
I think
@RavenDreamer it gets you the four DLC packs, 3 of which have been released. it does not come with mechromancer, a couple of other preorder bonuses that have been released, etc
@MBraedley Mechromancer is sold as a DLC anyway
I stand corrected
You do have Borderlands 2, @RavenDreamer?
@badp But there's minor DLC too.
of all this crap you get hammerlock, torgue, and scarlett.
@badp Yup.
21:52
and that is it for the season pass.
mechro's another $10 purchase
@agent86 Sums up everything I find wrong with DLC, actually.
there's also the 'creature slaughter dome' and the 'collector's edition pack' which are not included.
@RavenDreamer worse yet, I read that gearbox is considering a second season... another season pass may be in your future should you go for owning all of it.
imho, the "season pass" should be all the things thank you very much.
buying a season pass should exempt one from nickel and diming you to death with DLC
eh, it's still a 25% discount on DLC that, if you really want to get it all, you would've bought anyway.
Sleeping Dog's DLC is worse (although it didn't have a season pass type thing to begin with), which makes me sad.
Yeah, it doesn't include Mechromancer. That's in the Premiere Club stuff that you get for pre-ordering
21:55
I NEED YOUR HELP
The smartest idea is probably to hold off the DLC for a few years or so
WHAT SHOULD I NAME MY S DEGREASER
user15026
I thought that was the point of season passes, to get it all.
@Retrosaur Don't rename strange weapons
@AshleyNunn But the minor stuff sucks, and you're a sucker if you buy it.
21:56
You're welcome
Wat :(
@Retrosaur Strange weapons change their name based on the kills you get, unless you name them
Name something else, anything else
@AshleyNunn DLC has evolved. it's grown... stronger, more virulent... a mere season pass can no longer contain it.
user15026
@mbraedley fair enough :)
Yeah, but you can always see the title even if you rename @badp
21:57
@Retrosaur It's still a shitty way to spend your name tag
Use it on your hats or something
oh okay
@Retrosaur name it "badp's irritation"
user15026
@agent86 this is why I play older stuff or Nintendo stuff :p
just to bug him.
We would never dare rename @badp. Except that time we renamed @radp.
21:57
@agent86 lol
best use of anything, ever.
@badp People see your weapons' names whenever you kill them though.
Rarely will someone see a hat name.
I have a sniper that's desc is "If you can read this, you're already dead!"
@AshleyNunn wellll fine then, missy.
@Ullallulloo Your weapon's name is already changed when you use a strange
user15026
21:58
@agent86 :D
@Retrosaur proper use of the word "you're" wins you +1 internets.

Q: I bought software on Steam, how come it's not in my list?

Steve V.I just bought some software from Steam, but when I click on my games list, I don't see it. Where do I find Steam Software that doesn't appear in my games list?

@AshleyNunn The exception might be the Creature Slaughterdome which is basically Mad Moxie's Underdome from the first game

Q: Are Pandas extinct?

YawusAccording to Ushi no Tane, pandas are supposed to appeared in the Konohana Low Mountain area between 9pm and 5am, regardless of season. It's currently Summer (YR2) and I haven't seen a single panda since Fall (YR1).

I play TF2 way more than I should, but when I do, I main W+M1+M2+3+M1+G
21:59
@badp They're not that interesting though.
@MBraedley D'oh. Said that I was born Jan 1st, 2013.
Now I can't view the DLC :(
So for example, I have a strange wrench, a strange shotgun and The Handheld Antenna of My Seeing You.
@RavenDreamer I've done that before. Clear cookies et al
@Lazers Amost
@Lazers I'm torn. I mean, I guess steam is on topic, but this is explicitly not about games on steam, right?
22:02
@agent86 We've never said that we restrict ourselves to questions about specific games
@agent86 See questions about Netflix on PS3
Dunno who super starred the charity question, but thanks to whomever did
@GnomeSlice helped me figure out what I'm going to name my S. Degreaser
"Firewall"
I guess...
"blocks out 100% of all spyware"
Anyways, one last question guys
I need to rename
My strange festive holy mackerel (jeez, tat's a mouthful)
I have Dominations strange part added to it
22:06
@agent86 The other 3 games aren't free and add to your backlog
I'm happy with just adding MotN
@Ktash badp. You can see how pinned something via the messages history.
@Wipqozn Ooh, nice, didn't know that
Thanks @badp
@badp shrug your call, dood
@Retrosaur At least it's not a Somewhat Threatening Sophisticated Carbonado Botkiller Stickybomb Launcher Mk.I.
@Retrosaur I hope that was a description tag
22:08
$2.50 is sufficiently close to free to me, but I already own a bunch of those for xbox so I didn't pull the trigger on this deal.
@Retrosaur Make a joke about the yellow pill in its mouth.
You can take the red pilll.....or a HOLY FUCKING FISH TO THE FACE
So Seth Bling realised bite sized minecraft 2, and loads of people are watching my piston video and we're getting loads of subscribers, to our old channel…
@RonanForman Repost the piston video to the new channel
Also, are you sure the piston needs to be in the corner? I'm sure there's a way around it
People are only finding it because of the number of views it has.
Heh, the channel just passes 20k total views.
@MBr I'm sure I could get it more accurate if I tried enough.
Almost half the views are on that one video.
22:20
Um, I just created a piston duplicator I think...
boo, fake pistons
Fake pistons are pistons too!
They don't drop, ergo they are fake.
I DEMAND A REFUND
GNOMESLICE IS MUTED, I NEED REFUNDS PLOX
You joined the room. You demand a refund. The obvious refund is kicking you out of the room.
There you have it ♫
@RavenDreamer That's impressive, did you come out of the womb keyboard in hand?
22:25
@TimStone He's a clone
Shark master just uh copy pasted language and typing over
Since they're clones the learnings are compatible
Ah, of course.
Oh Maths...
Heh
@badp Oh please. You would never kick anyone out of the room. That just isn't in your nature.
@Wipqozn If somebody asks nicely...
@badp Can you please kick @agent86, my nemesis, out of the room?
@Wipqozn Can't, sorry. I'd kick him every single day of my life
22:36
Actually, can mods even be kicked from rooms?
It would be like Agent'o clock.
@badp mod abuse: DIVERTED
mwahahahaha
I can't kick myself, and I can't kick badp. at least I assume I can't; the link isn't there.
@agent86 You probably just can't kick anyone, nemesis. You're too weak!
@Wipqozn oh yeah??? OH YEAH??? I CAN TOTALLY KICK PEOPLE. I do it all the time.
@agent86 Your in-laws don't count.
22:39
I just, uh, left my kicking boots in my other pants.
@agent86 Your boots are in your pants?
@badp yeah... don't you keep your boots in your pants?
No, I store them separately.
Arg, stupid BUD switches!
Fix your game, Notch!

wat
just wat
1. How does a backstab not crit
My whole question is about the only way I know of for turning crits in regular hits, and your own answer says that backstabs ignore that effects.
@StrixVaria I don't know, I was referring to Minecraft, so I really should have blamed Jeb
@MBr What's the issue?
@RonanForman By powering the switch on the floor, the block covering the piston gets removed (or pretend that I've done that wiring), creating a block update that powers the piston below the floor, preventing it from raising.
IIRC, you had the same problem
Oh I understand what your saying, that's why my lever was on the wall.
Although I think I fixed that issue eventually.
You had it on by default, didn't you? The circuit reacted to the falling edge
