mmm saturday
@badp so... what do you think of Haswell?
I'm not really into hardware news
user20683
I'm not either but my money is on ARM sad as that may be.
18:18
I'm kind of hoping they end up having some sort of defect.
user20683
Why is that?
user20683
i7's are the very high end of the PC market, they aren't the majority anyway
@WorldEngineer Seems to good to be true. Everyone was creaming themselves when the Bulldozer first came around and then it turned out to be a bust.
@WorldEngineer I just have a feeling it'll fail or at least have some issues.
I'd be lying if I said I weren't a little jelly that I can't use it though.
user20683
I'm still running a Core 2 Duo
@WorldEngineer How old is your computer?
user20683
18:29
6 years
@WorldEngineer Wow. I guess if it works for you then it's fine.
user20683
it's technically my back up, my main's motherboard failed
user20683
and I've been lazy about upgrading it.
user20683
also waiting til I get a real job
@WorldEngineer How long do motherboards last generally? I'm on my second computer (custom) and haven't had any problems yet.
18:30
← Core 2 Duo T9550
← AMD Phenom II X4 955 @3.2GHz
Do dual-cores cut if for gaming?
user20683
yeah
user20683
My Turion II was fine
user20683
could run anything you put on it
user20683
the GFX card is the bottleneck
user20683
18:34
memory too but if you don't have 4 gigs...why?
user20683
memory is cheap
What's your clock speed? @WorldEngineer
user20683
go get ye some
@WorldEngineer I've got plent. 8GB DDR3.
user image

My eyes are playing tricks on me. This is what I thought I saw for a long moment there, instead of "BANDED".
user20683
18:34
at the moment 2.16 ghz
user20683
clockspeed doesn't actually mean all that much
user20683
not anymore anyway
@WorldEngineer If you're using emulators the extra speed can help.
I then imagined a bunch of guys in a suit giving this "BANNED" Powerpoint presentation to @Gnomeslice

@badp What did he do that was so bad to get him banned from the main site and chat?
user20683
18:36
@Scootaloo were that I was using an emulator that might be the case. When I am using an emulator, it's for ancient stuff where it doesn't matter.
@Scootaloo inappropriate messages; ban circumvention
user20683
@badp the blue part says "BANNED"
@WorldEngineer Once I get some money (which requires a job -.-) I'll probably upgrade cooling and then OC.
@WorldEngineer "This is what I thought I saw for a long moment there, instead of "BANDED"."
(I edited it to match what my brain read)
user20683
ah
18:37
I SEE BANNED PEOPLE IN MY SLEEP
3
Am I the only one putting off getting a job?
no
well, yes
well, maybe
Ah, and here comes Chaos herself. Welcome back.
so "Thomas Was Alone" is not Steam Cloud enabled :/
you are not the first person that I've known to refer to me as 'Chaos'
or the second... or the tenth...
user20683
18:39
@kalina it comes with the whole fire thing
@kalina is it your standard RPG name?
@WorldEngineer actually it originally came from me joining clans in the first MMO I ever played, and then looting their entire worth and disbanding them
@badp no I've never actually used it as a name
Pity, it sounds like a a badass RPG name for a character.
@badp you know how you can ban people? can you also kick them too?
I din do nuttin'
18:41
strange way to answer his question
Glad we worked that out.
I think I've got something wrong
for breakfast I ate rice with korma sauce
for lunch I'm eating crisps
and for tea I'm going to eat cornflakes
good news everyone! In 4 days I have been here for a year
I will also get my first ever yearling badge, for earning 200 rep
@kalina T_T
user20683
18:56
user20683
This is roughly how I imagine @kalina
@Ullallulloo hey I was like 10 at the time

@WorldEngineer I think I'm closer to truth:

Q: How to enable all players of Minecraft server to destroy blocks and everything else like a normal players would have permission?

ZigndI created a simple Minecraft server and it's a Tekkit server, so when I launch the server I see that default server manager console that I can type some commands like "help". But when I enter in this server with my Minecraft client everything looks normal, except I can't destroy blocks or any thi...

Q: Civ II Lost Heralds

0_0When I downloaded Civ II on my computer I disabled heralds on accident. 'Options' does not give me the option to change it. How do I enable the heralds? The heralds, if you do not remember, are the 3D sprites that talk to you when you communicate with another civilization.

Q: How do I undesignate mine wall?

StarPilotI am probably just being dense, but I cannot find a way to undesignated "mine wall" marked blocks. If I accidentally mark a block to be mined and I change my mind before the gnomes start to mine it, how do I undesignated it? Nothing I've tried so far has worked.

Q: Are "Live Races" actually dynamically generated levels?

kalinaIn Grid 2, one of the race types is called "Live Race", your engineer informs you that these races can change at any time and you're not provided with a map, which implies that these races are dynamically generated levels. However, I've found that if I restart one of these races, I always seem, ...

Q: How to get past lever puzzle in harmugstahl?

user49434I keep going to the levers but the four spikes in front of the all direction spikes wont appear when i pull the levers and ive tried to pull each one individually and nothing happens. Ive tried pruposed solutions but nothing still happens.

20:30
Hmm... should I get Metro: Last Light?
@Yawus Mixed reviews. How much do you like the previous Metro games?
Haven't played any of the previous Metro games.
I do seem to be pigeonholing myself into FPS/RPG games.
@Yawus I'd say the earlier ones were, on the whole, better received and probably cheaper. Grab 2033 and go from there.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Who'd you tick off? :p
@badp when are you going to change Lazers name again?
20:45
not sure.
Do you always keep "lazers" somewhere in his name?
0_0

will you get banned if you change your name too often?
You can't change your name too often.
It's once every 30 days.

Hi Trent.

20:47
how often?
Once you change you can change at will for a few minutes (in case you typoed), then it's locked in for 30 days.
@TrentHawkins this pretty much confirms what everyone was saying yesterday.

Q: Are there enough resources in Metro: Last Light to make exploration optional?

GaryI'm curious about Metro: Last Light. From what I understand, it's a semi-linear game where you have a general path to follow, but there might be a few rooms off to the side that you can explore for resources, backstory, etc. If I played the game without much exploration and just took a straight...

> But no good moveset exists for Skitty, because Skitty is terrible. Even evolved into a Delcatty it has no worthwhile niches. It's also a little ironic to ask for casual advice in the competitive section, no?
Seems a little ironic to get insulted about getting told Skitty isn't a good pokemon, ask somewhere else, and get even harsher criticism.
@fbueckert ?
He wasn't being rude in fact he's been helping me.
20:54

huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/05/27/… - this makes for embarrassing PR. Oh yeah, sorry about that, you guys are actually still going to hell. Whoops
@fbueckert just back away... nothing good can come from this
@kalina Way to go.
@kalina Eh. Irony is timeless.
20:55
@fbueckert yes, I know
@fbueckert @kalina Ouch. No need to be that way.
@Scootaloo shrug If you want to run skitty, more power to you. The base game is pretty forgiving in what your team can consist of - Just don't expect your skitty to fare well in something like the battle subway or against other players.
sometimes there is
At any rate, I need to be off.
0_0
0_0
oh no not the battle subway
that place is addictive
20:58
@TrentHawkins I don't really mind running a weak Pokemon. I do however mind getting insulted when I ask for help about it though.
Cya.
Must...keep...trap...shut...!
@fbueckert like I said...
4 mins ago, by kalina
@fbueckert just back away... nothing good can come from this
@fbueckert What's your problem?
@kalina I dunno. Learning has to happen at some point.
@Scootaloo Yeah, that's not happening.
Or I really will tear you a new one.
Go ahead if you really want to. I just want to know is all.
21:02
Compare:
> Ignoring the fact that Skitty isn't a good pokémon
> But no good moveset exists for Skitty, because Skitty is terrible.
@fbueckert I just wan't to know what your problem with me is.
@Scootaloo He said pretty much the same thing yesterday and you were practically crying abuse in here
@Scootaloo Personally, nothing. You tend to get bent out of shape about the most innocuous things, though.
Now today, you get something as harsh if not harsher, and it's "helping you"
I knew your application of double standards would have him facedesking
@kalina How are you helping me?
21:04
@kalina It's a good thing I have a super thick skull!
Hrm
@Scootaloo By pointing out the thing you're missing
0_0
0_0
@Scootaloo the more you ask people why they hate you the more annoyed they will become with you
just forgive and forget
The Walking Dead seems like a pretty good game, but then you hit the arbitrary adventure game walls and it gets annoying
@fbueckert I don't do that intentionally.
21:05
To be fair, @Scootaloo didn't mention taking Skitty onto Battle Subway or into competitive battling, so we really don't need to worry about suckiness or not.
Like, I find a cane. I get a conversation going about the cane. Then the dot on the cane goes away. A little later. I find a brick. The brick is slightly out of reach.
I could use the cane to reach it, but of course there's no dot for it so I can't select it or anything.
and I'm kind of stuck.
@0_0 I appreciate the advice, but I already have a pretty bad history in chat.
0_0
0_0
hrm
@Scootaloo You just need to relax a little, not take things personally and just be a little more positive.
Oh look I'm on fbueckert's ignore list. Not really surprised.
21:08
@Scootaloo Actually, you're not.
If anything, you're probably on @Strix's.
When yesterday I mentioned MLP in something completely unrelated to you, you still immediately took a defensive position and assumed I was talking about you
I wasn't.
I was actually defending MLP talk in here.
@badp Defensive position?
Don't assume we're all out to get you or something. :)
Unless we are. paranoiaaaaaaa~
@Scootaloo Uh, kind of like "What did I do wrong? Did I pick the wrong moment to come in? I should probably go."
21:09
@Yawus Remember, it's not paranoia if we really ARE out to get you.

@Powerlord those, those FOOLS will never appreciate such a deep and symbolic show. SNIFF
I wish the characters were composed of more than 5 colors though.
In reality, I've been trying to see if anyone will comment that when I "linked to all the episodes" I linked to a video that is showing 56 episodes at the same time
@Powerlord I thought that was the normal way to watch them.

Q: Can I buy land if I didn't read the courier's letter?

Guest26253552I have been playing skyrim on the ps3 and though I should buy the dlc so I bought hearthfire. I then was given notes buy a courier about the adoption and house building, I was smart enough to not read it and then drop it when I was carrying to much to run (once again being smart and not realizin...

@badp you should rename him Major Lazer
I could be okay with that, just give me some backstory to it
I love me some bridge fanfiction!!
Once upon a time, there was a bridge.
It toppled. The end.
user15026
That was depressing
@AshleyNunn I never said it was good fanfiction.
Nor did I say it was about The Bridge, because that's not what @badp asked for.

have you guys listened to the new Major Lazer album?
@AshleyNunn Why was your fact painted?

@scootaloo it was the Pride festival in my city today so my friend painted my face all awesome and rainbow and sparkly but now it is all over my pillow

@AshleyNunn I guess your pillow looks good now... or not.

@Sterno Recettear.
21:50
Is it a good idea to "grind" random missions in XCOM: EU to earn money and materials, or should I be aggressively pursuing "story" missions and if I keep getting owned it just means I suck?
The game gets harder based on time, mostly, so if you can hit story missions earlier, you'll probably have an easier time of it
Eventually difficulty peaks though

the reviews - "They pushed their way inside my door and kept repeating a single phrase. They have a strong dislike for people of medical professions."
I hope if a Dalek ever kills me, it's with a laser and not the toilet plunger.

Q: Is it possible to get in an unwinnable state?

badpAfter I completed episode 1, I was given a tally of my main choices during the game: Of course there was more to it than these choices; the game nagged me about things like "He now knows your name", "You saved Clem", "Clem saw you pick your nose." Some of the choices even affected the "trailer...

Now I remember why I stopped playing Dark Souls.
@Yawus Because it's too awesome for you?

@Sterno No, because my fps drops to s*** when I enter Blighttown.
Becomes damn near impossible to do anything.

Matt Smith is leaving - io9.com/…
@Yawus Playing on console?
I had that problem on the PS3 but not on my PC
@WorldEngineer And there was much rejoicing!
user20683
@Sterno I like him as the Doctor, the quality of the show in general on the other hand...
user20683
has become rather uneven at best.

@jeffreylin_ I don't remember that because I can do that.
@WorldEngineer Aww.
I didn't like him as much as Tennant, but he kinda grew on me.
The lack of logic in that sentence just exploded my brain.
@fbueckert Sorry about earlier.
@Sterno Yeah, on my PS3.
@Scootaloo s'ok.
0_0

22:14
just don't let it happen again
@fbueckert I started watching with Eccleston(sp?) and I preferred his personality as Tennant, but I have to admit I loved his mannerisms and catchphrases as Smith.
user20683
I've seen large chunks of classic who starting with 4
@Yawus Tennant was the Doctor. I don't think anyone could ever match him.

user20683
I liked Baker1 and McCoy a great deal
user20683
I'm one of those heretics that found Tennant less and less likable as the show went on.
user20683
22:17
I started off liking him but by the end I was like "meh".
@WorldEngineer Yup. Heretic.
Eh, to each his own.
user20683
yeah
Matt Smith's hilarious though.
user20683
22:18
I mean I'm a Niner as a well so whatever
user20683
I can see where people wouldn't like Smith

A doctor feud. Popcorn?
@0_0 Yes, please, but I don't think it's a feud. At least not yet.
0_0
0_0
"not yet"
user20683
22:20
You want a feud? Utter the words "I love Mel" to any classic who fan.
Yeah, it's probably not so much that I hate Smith, as I liked Tennant better and the plots for Smith's episodes were pretty craptacular
user20683
@Sterno I do agree that many of the plots were horrendous.
user20683
it's like the writing just kind of died.
user20683
and then what we got was them burning the corpse gas for special effects so it wasn't quite so bad but it was still pretty horrible.
I haven't played Skyrim since the DLC came out...
I should probably do that.
22:23
They did a really good job making it seem like the plots would be cool.
Then they'd just make shit up at the last second to fix everything. over and over again
And the statue of liberty being an angel is still beyond retarded.
Like, worse than this:
@Sterno Thanks Obama

I like how there's absolutely no sign of the water bottles until she opens it all the way.
You'd think a couple would fall out while she was opening the doors.

obviously France is evil
user20683
22:28
Also florida is fail
user20683
@Sterno from where I sit, the Statue of Liberty isn't a true statue and should not have been an angel
user20683
I mean we went from a reasonably tense episode into 1960s Godzilla territory.
Even aside from that, it's just ridiculous. The thing would never be able to move because people are always seeing it. Plus, since apparently taking pictures of angels creates angels now, there's got to be like a bajillionty new angels in the photographs of the statue of liberty. Earth is doomed
It's not just that it's dumb. It ruins something that was cool.
0_0
0_0
they keeping changing the rules on angels
it's stupid
user20683
Yeah, it's a sort of variation on the classic horror no-no of "don't show the monster".
22:35
@Sterno Apparently, it was from an alternate timeline where Angels took over the world, but I thought alternate/parallel timelines were cut off since Series... 5?
Series 2, whoops.
I don't think it was an alternate timeline.
Otherwise, finding the book in the present written by Amy makes no sense.
Nor does it being a fixed point
Really, nothing in that episode makes sense. It was pure hackery.
But yeah, I didn't really like that.
Hopefully, they end Matt Smith's run on a high note.
The ending for Tennant left me in tears.
Yay, a new chapter in Tales From Ponyville: karzahnii.deviantart.com/art/…
@Yawus The Christmas special should be very interesting, since it's also the 50th anniversary special
The usernames people come up with...
"FingerMyButtt"... really?
><
@IanPugsley is like "Guuuuurrrrrrrlllll you can make some enchiladas"
because he's right, I can
22:49
I think you spelled "girl" wrong.
> If you type in "Princess L" to YouTube, Princess Luna comes up first, right before Leia.
So what you're saying is that ponies are so bad that they even make things around them bad?
It's probably more of a generational thing. Princess Leia always seemed to me as a icon of the 70s and 80s
It is certainly true that the target demo for MLP was not around when the original trilogy released. Or even the 2nd trilogy, for that matter.
