Q: Should answers on questions that ask for spoiler information be put in spoiler markup?

I would like to start a discussion on this due to the recent number of spoiler answers on plot-related questions that ask for spoiler info in bioshock-infinite. Since it is not sure what the policy on this is (some answers in those questions have spoiler markup, others don't), it would be nic...

Retrosaur

@kalina Da. Retrosaur is not afraid of baby man.

user15026

@WorldEngineer Yeah, thats why I am so surprised I like it

Retrosaur

►

Just curious, has anyone here played Path of Exile

kalina

05:01

briefly

Retrosaur

Just wondering if it's multiplayer, or single player exclusie

kalina

multiplayer

Retrosaur

Oh good. It's free, right?

kalina

was last time I looked at it

user15026

I should sleep but I feel like I have not done enough with my day

FEichinger

05:09

@AshleyNunn Sleep.

user15026

@FEichinger Don't wannnna

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn Do it anyway.

Ullallulloo

@Retrosaur Yeah, and highly rated.

kalina

I should sleep on account of it getting light

user15026

@FEichinger whyyyyy

Retrosaur

05:10

@kalina What's gameplay like? Torchlight?

kalina

@Retrosaur it's a hack'n'slash game

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn Because I still haven't slept either. And it's 7am here.

kalina

so Diablo, Torchlight, et al

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn This. Is. Bad. You should sleep.

user20683

@Retrosaur Diabloesque

user20683

05:10

Torchlight 2 is a substantial improvement

Retrosaur

@WorldEngineer I've heard the skill tree is absolutely huge

user15026

@FEichinger no, you should sleep

Retrosaur

Can you respec in game?

user20683

@Retrosaur kinda

Retrosaur

Also, how do the devs make money off of it? Is it a microtransation model (vanity items, p2p)?

kalina

05:11

@Retrosaur the skill tree is huge but it's still just a pretty standard skill tree but with a different layout

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn Too late now. You can still be saved. Sleep. Now.

user20683

@Retrosaur you buy it same as anything else

user20683

it's not F2P

kalina

@WorldEngineer poe is

FEichinger

pathofexile.com/shop

Retrosaur

05:12

@WorldEngineer Oh. I thought it was a F2P game.

kalina

should still be in beta unless I missed an announcement

user20683

Torchlight isn't F2P

kalina

ah you meant TL

user20683

@kalina I should have clarified

kalina

nah it's all good, my brain is starting to slow down as I get incrementally more tired

user15026

05:13

@FEichinger I dont wanna be saved

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn I don't care. You should sleep.

user20683

TL2 has some multiplayer, TL1 is strictly single player

Retrosaur

Just curious, is PoE on steam?

user15026

@FEichinger I will if you will!

user20683

@Retrosaur not that I can see

FEichinger

05:15

@AshleyNunn We're not gonna play that game.

Go, sleep.

user15026

@FEichinger Oh. :(

Ullallulloo

@Retrosaur Nope. =/

That's why I haven't played it.

Unpausable download that's like 5 GB.

at least at the time.

kalina

its not the 90s, 5gb is like minutes of downloading

spugsley

are things good now?

kalina

@spugsley yeah it's safe to come out now

user20683

05:17

@spugsley :hug:

user20683

it's okay now

spugsley

@kalina oh thank god. I tried so hard to be nice but I just couldn't do it

I realize that sounds very elitist

and I give zero shits

2

user20683

@spugsley no it doesn't

kalina

sounds reasonable to me

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn Yes.

kalina

05:18

quite a few people said quite a lot of things about the situation

FEichinger

@spugsley Nothing elitist about it. Perfectly fine.

Ullallulloo

@kalina I had dail-up until 2011.

user15026

@FEichinger Fiiiiiiine I guess I should

spugsley

@kalina oh good. I thought it was only me and then I saw the 'escape pod' chat. Lololol

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn Yes, you should.

kalina

05:19

@Ullallulloo dial up in 2011?

user15026

@FEichinger but its not that late....

kalina

:O

Ullallulloo

It's still 14 hours.

@kalina Yep.

user15026

@Ullallulloo My parents had it til 2010 so I feel your pain

kalina

@spugsley yeah, a whole lot of people ran away

FEichinger

05:19

@spugsley We were actually wondering why you kept going, rather than joining us in the Escape Pod.

spugsley

@FEichinger lol because I was legit trying. And then I was like...no

Ullallulloo

No one wants to run DSL or cable through farmland.

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn Stop arguing.

Ullallulloo

Low population density.

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn Go. Sleep.

spugsley

05:21

@AshleyNunn SLEEP WOMAN

kalina

@Ullallulloo while I would agree with you, I live in a village with ~100 people in it, in the middle of a field, 20+ miles away from any cities, and I have a decent connection

Ullallulloo

@kalina My friends live in a town of 700 and they have fast internet too.

I live on the border between two cities though

So they're just working out to us veeerrrryy slowly.

user20683

@Ullallulloo Chicago and Des Moines?

Ullallulloo

@WorldEngineer Nope, smaller cities south more.

kalina

obviously I would love to live in a google fiber area

but that would mean moving to America

user20683

05:24

@Ullallulloo Southern Illinois is a big blank spot marked "here be dragons" on my personal map

user20683

no offense

user20683

:)

Ullallulloo

@WorldEngineer Yeah.

spugsley

@kalina believe me, you don't want to do that

Ullallulloo

@WorldEngineer I'm central though.

kalina

05:25

@spugsley but... gigabit internet...

Powerlord

@LessPop_MoreFizz Um, what's this invite?

spugsley

@kalina I know it's tempting but that's how they get you

LessPop_MoreFizz

@powerlord no longer needed.

user20683

@kalina they like to put you in prison for drug use over here

Ullallulloo

Peoria, Springfeild and that half of St. Louis at the only souther things I know.

kalina

05:26

@WorldEngineer I know, I wouldn't fit in

to be fair, they do over here for the quantities I deal with

user20683

@kalina yeah but European sentencing is generally less hideous

user20683

from what I hear anyway

user15026

@Ullallulloo Yeah, getting internet to rural places is a slow process.

kalina

obviously cost of living scales differently

but in a direct conversion

LessPop_MoreFizz

@kalina worst part: google fiber is only going into cities in two of the most regressive, backward, awful states in the union.

FEichinger

05:27

@WorldEngineer European prisons are just less hideous. ;)

kalina

google fiber is cheaper than my current provider

Ullallulloo

@AshleyNunn They have it about two miles from my house now.

user20683

@FEichinger I hear Sweden has nice ones

LessPop_MoreFizz

Texas and Missouri. Whooooooo.

kalina

I wouldn't fit in with America anyway

user15026

05:28

@Ullallulloo yeah, my parents had to do a lot of wrangling to get internet. Luckily there is a company who is trying to get internet to a lot of rural areas around me

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz ????

LessPop_MoreFizz

@ashleynunn the only google fiber cities are Austin TX and Kansas City MO last I checked.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh, I wasn't sure what you were refering to

Ullallulloo

@LessPop_MoreFizz Kansas City, KA too. :P

user15026

@Ullallulloo Now I am confused

Ullallulloo

05:31

@AshleyNunn It's on the state border.

kalina

right I am going to go and sleep before I facedesk involuntarily

nn

user15026

@Ullallulloo So it is one city in two states?

Ullallulloo

@AshleyNunn maps.google.com/…

Bad clipboard.

@AshleyNunn Yeah.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Kansas City, KS isn't much of a place.

user15026

@Ullallulloo weird

LessPop_MoreFizz

05:33

Also Kansas is even worse than Missouri and that takes effort.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz This is where my complete lack of knowledge of cities that arent the one I live in, let alone in America, ends pretty abruptly

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Ashleynunn not that odd. West Memphis is in Arkansas. East St Louis is in Illinois.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz .....why

user20683

@LessPop_MoreFizz I've been to Arkansas once

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn Because a witty fellow took a ruler and drew lines on the map to divide the states.

Ullallulloo

05:35

@AshleyNunn Usually cities like that were built on rivers, which are good state seperators.

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn Also, didn't you want to sleep?

user15026

@Ullallulloo Oh, okay, that makes sense!

user15026

@FEichinger nooooooooooooooooo

Ullallulloo

Then they grew over the border cuz it's weird having the inner city end suddenly.

user20683

Budapest is a classic example

user20683

05:36

also Istanbul

user20683

Paris

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn Geez.

user20683

London

user15026

Man I feel like such a noob for knowing nothing about these things

LessPop_MoreFizz

There are plenty of other examples where the name of the city changes, but the metro area is contiguous too.

FEichinger

05:36

@AshleyNunn I think there are books on that kind of stuff. SLEEP.

LessPop_MoreFizz

See: NYC and Hudson County/Newark, NJ.

user15026

@FEichinger When it comes to going to bed, unless I have someone to snuggle, I tend to put it off for forever, because it isn't that intriguing to me

user20683

@LessPop_MoreFizz the entire San Francisco Bay Area

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn Well, I can't help you with that. SLEEP.

LessPop_MoreFizz

The DC/Fairfax/Baltimore axis

user15026

05:37

@FEichinger Because you live on the wrong side of the ocean

LessPop_MoreFizz

@worldengineer not the same exactly - doesn't straddle a state line.

user15026

Ah, so this stuff happens a lot/

user20683

@LessPop_MoreFizz true

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn I'm fairly convinced it's the right side of the ocean. SLEEP.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Also Portland OR/Vancouver WA

Also also Chicago/Gary IN

user15026

05:38

@FEichinger Nope. My side is best side because it has me

user20683

@LessPop_MoreFizz The various border cities with Mexico

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn My side is best side because it doesn't have the US. SLEEP.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Also also also Cincinnati.

user15026

@FEichinger The US holds some of my favourite people so I don't mind.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz Wow. I wonder if there are Canadian examples.

FEichinger

05:39

@AshleyNunn Yeh, it keeps them hostage in a mucked-up system. SLEEP.

user15026

@FEichinger What if I get in bed, and then chat? Is that acceptable?

Ullallulloo

@AshleyNunn yay?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@worldengineer if you'd said Detroit or Buffalo maybe - but the Mexican border is more complicated.

Ullallulloo

@FEichinger =/

user15026

@Ullallulloo Most definitely yay. It holds most of the awesome Bridge-ians so that means it must hold some sort of awesome

LessPop_MoreFizz

05:40

Tijuana/San Diego maybe fits this mold

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn No. SLEEP.

LessPop_MoreFizz

But I dunno that say... Juarez does

user15026

@FEichinger You are not very nice.

spugsley

so @IanPugsley and I are trying to find shit to do for my birthday weekend. I google 'shit to do in Charlotte' and I see that the main Charlotte attraction is the Billy Grahman Bible Library followed by the second most popular attraction which is the Nascar Hall of Fame. Good god, why?

user15026

@spugsley :(

FEichinger

05:42

@AshleyNunn I am. I'm helping you. SLEEP.

user20683

@spugsley hike over to Asheville

user15026

@FEichinger NOT HELPING, JUST OPRESSING

LessPop_MoreFizz

@slugsley this was my realization when I spent a few weeks there last year.

user20683

some lovely scenery and loads of breweries

user15026

@WorldEngineer That sounds fun

Ullallulloo

05:42

Two Aces and I can't knock Max out.

user20683

@AshleyNunn there's also my dad, our relationship is complex

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn Let's call it ... nudging you in the right direction. SLEEP.

Ullallulloo

I want that guuuunnnn.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@worldengineer most of the new breweries in Asheville are still being built.

user15026

@WorldEngineer Okay slightly less awesome

spugsley

05:43

@WorldEngineer merrrggghhh but that requires lots of driving and possibly money on spending the night

user20683

@LessPop_MoreFizz true but there are still some there

user15026

@FEichinger I dont like your nudges

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn nudge SLEEP.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Better to go in a year or so once NB and Sierra and Bells are all up and running.

user15026

@spugsley so coming here for cupcakes is right out then, huh? ;)

user15026

05:43

@FEichinger dont touch me augh

Ullallulloo

@AshleyNunn In America you have to freedom to sleep whenever to want.

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn ò.ó

user15026

@Ullallulloo Another reason it is awesome

user15026

@FEichinger innocent smile

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn SLEEP!

user15026

05:46

@FEichinger Why are you so concerned over my sleep schedule

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn Because reasons.

user15026

@FEichinger You enchant and baffle me by turns. I suspect you will make more sense after I sleep so I guess you win

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn Ha-Hah!

user15026

@FEichinger -.-

user20683

user20683

@spugsley Light Factory?

spugsley

05:51

@WorldEngineer s'okay but it's kinda boring

user20683

@spugsley if you were in Atlanta, I'd recommend High Tea at Dr. Bombay's Underwater Tea Party

spugsley

@WorldEngineer ummm that sounds like fucking the best thing ever

user20683

@spugsley because it really is

user15026

@worldengineer that sounds amazing

user15026

user20683

user20683

it's a cafe that looks like a library as decorated by the crew of Serenity

spugsley

@AshleyNunn yessssssssssssssssssssss

user20683

High Tea
Available from 3:30 to 5:30 every day
Pot of tea for 2, including milk, honey, lemon, sugar. Served with assorted cookies and mini cupcakes, 2 scones, jam, imported Devonshire clotted cream and finger sandwiches

spugsley

@WorldEngineer omg ok, we can get married now

and I will move there and we will go there every day

user20683

@spugsley you're already married

FEichinger

05:55

@WorldEngineer "Polygamy is awesome!"

user20683

and I've strong reservations about this plan

spugsley

@WorldEngineer you may not know this but I'm also married to @AshleyNunn and I think someone else in here but I can't remember

user20683

@FEichinger not going there

spugsley

@AshleyNunn who else are we married to?

user20683

user15026

05:56

Ummmmm. @raven or @mana I think? I can't remember. But I remember we were gonna marry them.

user20683

that about sums the place up if you go the whole nines

spugsley

@AshleyNunn ok yes. I do seem to recall that. So @WorldEngineer you can totally join us so long as you come with high tea

user15026

Yeah, sorry, phone typing fail

user20683

@spugsley sadly will be indisposed and they only serve high tea at the place, no to gos :(

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn You're meant to sleep. ò.ó

user20683

05:58

speaking of sleep, it's high time I conked out for a couple of hours

user15026

@worldengineer I just think the whole thing sounds so fun

spugsley

I NEED TO SLEEP

user15026

@worldengineer ooooooh

user20683

one caveat, I don't do meat

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn And that is good. Now you just need to sleep.

user20683

so you want bacon, you're on your own

user15026

I can bake awesome but my actual cooking is a little bit rustier

user15026

06:02

@worldengineer I can cook bacon, so all is well.

user15026

@feichinger it's only 2 am!

FEichinger
