@OrigamiRobot Stop tempting me to play when I should be working!

@OrigamiRobot Nice

Tim Stone

@BenBrocka borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Avenger_%28Borderlands_2%29 Also, @FAE

FAE

@OrigamiRobot Oh god I want that.

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot Neat. I want to try that rifle on my Mechro though

OrigamiRobot

Nearly 1m damage O_O

Tim Stone

Ben Brocka

Wondering how many mil that sniper wil ldo on a slagged headshot

FAE

These are so far away for meeeeee. :(

OrigamiRobot

That also has a hidden +500% crit damage stat.

Ben Brocka

@FAE Then get to work

OrigamiRobot

Another level 50+ Siren would be useful!

FAE

14:16

@BenBrocka I can only play when both my b/fs are available because we're leveling together.

And GW2 just released a big update thing and waugh, not enough time.

And timezones suck.

OrigamiRobot

@FAE Start an alt :P

FAE

@OrigamiRobot I hate replaying content right away, so I usually don't do that very soon after starting.

Plus I pretty much only want to play Siren right now.

OrigamiRobot

@FAE I guess you're going to stop before level 50 then.

You beat the game well before level 50.

FAE

@OrigamiRobot Yeah I know.

SaintWacko

Morning, Bridge

My friend and I beat PT1 last night

Then we moved on to PT2 and got our asses kicked

FAE

14:22

@OrigamiRobot Also I don't really enjoy playing solo much.

Ben Brocka

@FAE This is why I have multiple characters to play with multiple people

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka It makes me wonder if that is the typical ceiling for level 61 sniper damage.

Ben Brocka

@SaintWacko damage increases a lot faster in PT2, keep an eye out for better guns

SaintWacko

@BenBrocka Yeah, that's part of it, I haven't found any good new machine guns or SMGs

Fluttershy

@FAE I'll play with you!

FAE

14:26

@BenBrocka May do that soon, @Fluttershy says we're about 2/3 through the main campaign, and after I beat that at least once, I'm more likely to roll alts.

SaintWacko

He got a Volcano from the Warrior, though

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot It's probably higher than usual, it's a pearl

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

I wonder how historically accurate is Company of Hero's campaign story

Ben Brocka

@SaintWacko class?

Fluttershy

@LessPop_MoreFizz They got Chris Avellone!

SaintWacko

14:28

@BenBrocka Gunzerker

And he's a Siren

Who uses sniper rifles and pistols

Revolvers, really

Fluttershy

My Gunzerker uses pistols. He is fun.

SaintWacko

What changed that I can now see flags?

Ben Brocka

@SaintWacko Might not want to be quite so picky. Shotguns are great for zerker

FAE

@SaintWacko You have 10k network rep

Fluttershy

@SaintWacko 10k network rep?

Yep. 10.7k network rep.

Sconibulus

14:30

I wonder how many sites there are...

SaintWacko

@FAE Ah, okay

So I can now act on flags, too?

@BenBrocka Hm, I'll have to try some out

FAE

@SaintWacko aye

Grace Note

@Sconibulus Our main page currently states that we have 101 sites, but that includes things like Area 51 and Stack Apps and Meta Stack Overflow and such.

SaintWacko

That would make my ammo last longer than dual wielding E-tech machine guns with +88% fire rate >.>

Ben Brocka

@SaintWacko TORGUE SHOTGUNS WORK QUITE WELL WHEN YOU WANT TO MAKE THINGS EXPLODED AND DEAD

Fluttershy

14:32

I really need to find an Infinity so I can see how it works with my Gunzerker's Money Shot skill...

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka The wiki says that it has decreased projectile damage.

Ben Brocka

Author complains about Claptrap, is dead to me

@OrigamiRobot Ohh...huh so does it spread more bullets or what?

OrigamiRobot

> Tut. Tut, it looks like rain. – Decreased projectile damage, increased elemental effect damage. Increased accuracy. On impact, shots fired create a large area-of-effect blast that dissipates in a cascade of electrical sparks.

Sconibulus

That's enough to get 10k network rep as soon as you hit the association bonus. : () )

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot Oh, nice. Sad to see 12k DPS isn't standard DOT though

SaintWacko

14:34

@BenBrocka Who the hell doesn't like Claptrap?

Ben Brocka

@SaintWacko Exactly

Grace Note

I don't, but that's more of a lack of exposure and thus no impression to actually like.

Ben Brocka

People complaining about claptrap seem to either have no sense or irony or no sense of humor

Sterno

@SaintWacko Congrats, now you can see people flag stuff like t̊̀͂҉̷̪̟̬̩͉̙̦̝͡h̨̨̥̞̜̼̥̞̯̝̿ͦ̓̏ͩ͂ǐ̳̥͇́s̵̱̳͖̣̱̮̺͖̙ͨ̅ͭ̓͌͋̓͆͢

@Sterno Why is this blurry?

Sterno

Today is apparently the day all my RSS readers think I haven't read anything.

Mad Scientist

@GraceNote So 200 rep anywhere an creating an account on every site is enough to act on chat flags? Time to create 6 sock puppets for arbitrary deletion in chat

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot They're coming out the wallsphicters!

Sterno

Poker Night at the Inventory was a seriously awful game.

Grace Note

14:40

@MadScientist Perhaps we should change it so that the association bonus isn't included in network-wide reputation.

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka Minion! Block their bullets with your face!

Ben Brocka

Holy %$&^ it actually worked!

Q: Should the account association bonuses be excluded when calculating totals for chat?

The chat profile for a user includes a reputation total. This appears to be the sum of the reputation from all sites. A few days ago I logged in to a few other sites just out of curiosity, grew my chat reputation by 1k. Given that there are 84 sites in the network, it seems like a person could...

Ben Brocka

SEO scrapers are sad but amusing

when did it become a "thing" to make "Q&A" sites that just scrape search terms as question titles and don't actually have any content?

Q: How do I beat the Bearington Ballers?

You'd think a bunch of baseball players would be pushovers for ninjas, but they have these annoying bats that like to knock my cannon shots out of the air. Also, they have a ton of health. I swapped all my gunners over to archers and yet I still cannot do enough damage to defeat them in 3 turns...

tiddy

about krav maga....

Avoid 'Commando Krav Maga'

avoid Moni Aizik

OrigamiRobot

I don't know what those mean. All I know about krav maga is that it seems to boil down to "Take you opponent's weapon, beat them sensless with it, run away"

Which is pretty awesome.

tiddy

15:08

Ehhhhh

It's basically realist self-defense

OrigamiRobot

Right, what did I say?

SaintWacko

A while back, I ripped the sound files out of BL1's game files, and I was planning to use them as system sounds on my phone

never got around to it, though

tiddy

You wouldn't beat someone with the weapon, you'd likely kill them with it

Grace Note

@SaintWacko That reminds me of when I endeavored to convert my computer's entire soundset to sounds from Bomberman 64.

tiddy

if someone has a knife it's pretty much the only option

if you engage

knives are much scarier than guns

Grace Note

15:12

Stage Opening for powering on, Stage Clear for shut down, explosion for alert, death for error, various other miscellany for menu navigation and such'n's.

SaintWacko

@GraceNote Haha, nice

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote That sounds awesome

I just use No Sounds at all times though

SaintWacko

I mainly just wanted Claptraps button-pushing sounds as the tones when I Was dialing

OrigamiRobot

@tiddy Not mutually exclusive.

Dead is a form of senseless.

tiddy

a certain levels, the most difficult krav training is basically learning how to not maim the attacker

OrigamiRobot

15:14

I imagine so.

tiddy

Like I can deflect your punch and punch back, or I can hyperextend your elbow, or twist your neck to the ground and choke you out with your shirt, or just break your arm...or neck

with adrenaline and if there are multiple attackers, the line blurs

So it takes a lot of training not just to learn the moves but the proper application in a stress situation

OrigamiRobot

@tiddy The styles where you use your opponent's force and momentum against them are really cool.

tiddy

that's more segal territory haha. aikido

Which IS legit.

OrigamiRobot

I wasn't specifically talking about krav maga, just martial arts styles in general.

tiddy

indeed

OrigamiRobot

15:21

When I was a kid, I took karate until we got to the sparring part. I'm not really interesting in hitting anyone, I was just taking it because I thought it was neat.

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot I took a decent amount of Judo classes when I was younger.

It's a different take than Aikido on using your opponent's weight/momentum against him, but it's still got a lot of that in it.

FAE

I took a semester of Kenpo Jutsu Karate in college and got my orange belt. I really liked it.

I could never afford any MA classes as a kid, so it was neat to do it then.

Q: How can I edit the order of stops of an existing line without having to start over in Cities in Motion 2

This was a much requested feature in the first Cities in Motion, surely it has added so that you can somehow re-order the stops? I don't want to keep deleting all of my stops, just because I want to change the order of a stop at the beginning.

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka I think this should be closed as a dupe of "How do subsequent playthroughs work?"

Ben Brocka

15:55

I guess. The initial question was really about THVM and playthrough 2.5

OrigamiRobot

It can be applied to UVHM with no modification to the question.

All it needs is an updated answer.
