Zeta TwoI'm looking for games with mentally ill protagonists or major characters, preferrably games where psychologic concepts play a big role. Do you know any games like this?

Q: Can't remember a game

PsychoAll I remember is that I'm on a ship frozen in the ice and I go there and then this guy is showing us a weapon or something then he locks someone in a room. Then he releases the gas and it kills the guy but mutates him in the process.Then I think we start firing on him. I'm not sure though. Pleas...

Q: Squaddie stops taking cover!

CronockeI've started having this issue on one squaddie - and only this one squaddie so far - where randomly, in the middle of a mission, he will refuse to use any adjacent cover. I move him from one piece of cover to another, and he stands there like a goof. Fortunately, he's a support, so it's not TOO b...

Q: What are the differences between 'hard' and 'normal' difficulties?

deutschZuidThere is an achievement in Planet in Distress for completing the game on hard. I am not sure if it's worth my time to pursue this achievement. How's hard different from normal?

Q: Is evolving with two level 2 cards better than evolving with a level 1?

BlueRaja - Danny PflughoeftSomeone has told me that evolving with two cards that have been previously evolved will give you better stats than if one of them has never been evolved (so, using four cards total to get the final card, rather than the usual three). I can't find anything online to back that up. Is it true?

Q: Using an Android device to show in-game info from a PC game

Denilson SáI've seen a picture of someone playing a racing game on PC and having an Android tablet in front of him, showing in-game speed and other info. It was placed on the table, right behind the racing wheel controller. What games support this external output? What is the name of the app running on And...

Q: Does it get harder to farm silver & experience after beating the final boss?

Oblivious SageIn Prime World Defenders you can always go back and replay previous levels rather than progressing the story, and you get a little bit of experience and silver for doing so.

Quiet night...
02:36
a bit quiet
@kalina Quite quiet.
rather quiet
@kalina Somewhat silent?
extremely silent
Unusually uncommunicative...
02:39
communication is lacking
Moderately noiseless?
there is no noise in the world of chatting
@FEichinger Nonsensically noiseless.
Alliteration, people! Jeez!
other than the harmony of multiple people click click click click clickity clicking
@Fluttershy You're the only one going for alliterations! Although, alliterations are awesome.

@spugsley As always, I adamantly approve of any and all alliteration.
it's starting to get light
I'm supposed to be going to work soonish
@Fluttershy Hush, you.
user15026
@OrigamiRobot I will be home in 15 min or so. Sorry, today ended up crazy busy, outside of my control.
@AshleyNunn Yay!
user15026
@fluttershy your alliterative skills are amazing.

@AshleyNunn His alliterative abilities are amazing.
@AshleyNunn Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
@OrigamiRobot Nicely done. Even had the name in there!

@fluttershy hat tip
@Fluttershy Robots rarely require recognition.

@Krazer regular.
@AshleyNunn have you considered a silicone one?
user15026
03:40
I have, but I am more thinking of something that I can take it in and out of, so it covers the cart when I hace it in my bag so it cant get bumped and pop out
@GrumpyLazers ITG, no?
MS really needs to fire everyone involved with their current marketing campaigns
what the hell does that banner even mean?
user15026
I am not even sure what that banner is even trying to convey.
Just shut up and give us $400-$600 this holiday season
03:45
@BenBrocka No. I refuse.
@AshleyNunn One thing.
I keep trying to work it out into some sort of "Make seven, up yours" way. But I think the intent is "input one" on your TV
(because TV TV sports TV call of duty TV)
(dogs)
user15026
@Krazer facepalm
yep, it's light now
so much for sleeping tonight
03:48
@AshleyNunn so a carrying case?
in other news, nearly finished season 2
@kalina Of Chuck?
yeah
@kalina really? I'm working my way through season 2 right now too
user15026
@Krazer Yeah, I guess that would be what I want (sorry, brain is like soup right now for some reason, articulating my thoughts is hard)
user15026
03:49
OMG I <3 Chuck (all your fault, @fbueckert)
@kalina You'll love the season finale.
@AshleyNunn I take full credit.
user15026
@Krazer That is the most ridiculous thing ever. So tempted.
@Krazer How do you even PLAY it in that thing?
well this sucks
soon I will have to start my morning routine
03:58
@fbueckert with big hands (original xbox controller sized hands)!
Is this question not a bad cross between ITG, Game-Rec, and catalogue list?
@Krazer I'd rather just peel it out of there and play it without that.
I don't care, I'm not in the right state of mind to look at the review queue
user15026
I think I need something with a bit better form factor
user15026
@fbueckert yeah, VTC
So there are beta server emulators for SimCity now.
That didn't take all that long.
04:06
It'd be a pretty easy thing to reverse engineer I'd imagine
just listen for traffic back and forth
@AshleyNunn You can't go wrong with something like this
Jin
Jin
i got Dishonored
i think someone here told me to get it
@Jin I'm sure I did when it first came out.
@Jin It;s a pretty good game. Quicksave often if you're planning on no kills/undetected
It's prt gud.
04:10
It is incredibly easy to accidentally kill people
Jin
Jin
i've killed tons of rats
it's a good game, but i don't think i have the patience to play it..
user15026
@Krazer ooh, intriguing
If patience is a problem you can just play a bloody playthrough. Killing people is quick

Q: How can I import patterns via QR code?

cloudymusicI've seen tons of Animal Crossing: New Leaf patterns posted across the internet accompanied by QR codes, implying that there's a way to scan those QR codes in-game to import those designs. However, I can't find any sort of import feature in the game. How can I scan QR codes in the game? Is it so...

Jin
Jin
i still need to finish Hitman.. I got to the end..
I just get bored of this type of games
04:13
Dishonored had a rather nice balance of "wait and observe" vs "move and subdue", imo.
I'm not big on stealth games either but I really liked Dishonored
@Ktash Problem is, EA's been screaming their head off that it's online-only. Designed from the ground up to be online.
@fbueckert Heh, yeah. The JavaScript used for the time limit seems to betray that though lol
@Ktash Anything that casts EA in a negative light is OK in my books.
Javascript, see, planned for an online experience, obviously
04:19
@AshleyNunn btw for New Leaf pattern QR codes: qrcrossing.com/home

Q: Remember Me failing scripted event

calccryptoHas anyone encountered this bug before and fixed it? During Edge's Shortcut, there is a part where you jump across a ledge but the pipe breaks and you fall onto the fan unit thing. Instead, I get this: Anyone know how to fix it? I have verified the files through Steam.

OH NO ITS 6AM
Sleep is overrated.
hmmm
I duno, since I started fixing my sleep pattern, I've learned to love sleep a lot more

Q: Is there an in-game catalog?

Q: Can I ask for the tip for Ranking in LoL

jonathanabbottRecently I'm having so many straight lost in rankings even though I have most of the kill. But I still lost in the game. I think its because there are many trolls especially Bronze and Silver Tier. Can you give me some hints or tips regarding ranking? Thx

@GrumpyLazers "There is no I in TEAM." makes for a great tip there.
@FEichinger there is a ME though
@kalina No, there's an M and an E! Not a ME. :P
yes there is
it's just there
think outside of the box
06:08
No it isn't and you can't convince me otherwise.
you obviously can't think outside of the box
Why would I think outside the box? Outside the box is just the void. The void is irrelevant.
you're irrelevant
YOUR FACE IS IRRELEVANT!
I'm sorry, we've already established that you're irrelevant, therefore everything you say or think is also irrelevant
06:11
Hush.

Q: Can you receive more items while items are queued?

NiteCyperI'm idleing in textmode and with other such launch parameters. Apparently, I received items. Items are queued until death, at which time they will be presented to the player. If I don't die, will I still be able to receive new items from the item drop system?

07:08
they eat subway so much in this show
I really want a subway
07:48
@FEichinger so you were inside the box all along?
@badp Yes. Me, myself and yours truly, ME!
So you're Godus?
@badp No, I wasn't inside a cube. It was a common cardboard box.

Q: How do I change playlists in Zombies Run 2?

MeltingDogI've just installed the update for Zombies Run 2 and it is still using my old playlist from the first version. I want to switch to a different playlist but there no longer seems to be that option in the settings menu. Would anyone know how to do this?

08:14
Made my decision on the new mouse/keyboard: Razer Blackwidow Expert and Razer Deathadder Black.
RAT7
@tombull89: my old BW ultimate feels better than a new non ultimate (no idea why).
might be the breaking ing
@kalina: the kone XTD is the root access favourite
...RAT7
@kalina: to each his/her/its own ;p
...RAT7...
08:19
lol
I may be slightly sleep deprived
(tho, the biggest case I can make for kone is their customer service. My first mouse broke, and one of their techs tried EVERYTHING)
only slightly
actually BRB, let me check the other BW
only slightly yeah
since I woke up at lunch yesterday
scratch that
the fluorescent lights in here seem brighter than usual
08:21
@tombull89: blackwidow 2013s may need a breaking in period
@kalina: eheh. we got rid of ours
stick a little bit of mdma on the tongue, that's one way to be wide awake again
I am a little bit confused about what happens between episode 21 and 22 of season 2 of chuck
episode 21 shows sarah and chuck running
episode 22 doesn't start like that
@tombull89: which one's the expert?
I remember there's a regular (no backlight), and ultimate(with backlight). They added the usb and sound passthroughs to the regular model
08:36
@JourneymanGeek Expert, Ultimate
hack hack hack, hack all the flags, and the users' heads, hack them too

Q: I get a lot of kills but I can't win games

jonathanabbottI'm having many straight losses in rankings even though I have most of the kills — for the losing team. I think its because there are many trolls especially Bronze and Silver Tier. As a result, I'm losing massive amounts of ranking. What am I doing wrong?

probably can't be salvaged at all
I'lltake a look
alt f4
I like this, super high tech computer storing all of the secret service information in the world
has a 10" green screen
Well it probably deserves a "LoL is a cooperative Game where the goal is to get the nexus down. Not get kills." I though we'd have a dupe for this one; but look like we don't
@kalina Don't tell me you're watching Chuck for the realism
09:14
@kalina: of course
@tombull89: ahh, the expert is the regular model
question
I need to FedEx a bunch of documents
The recipient told me they'll come to my home to get them for sending
...but I don't have their envelope with the pouch to put the sheet of paper with barcodes and stuff in it
I think they'll bring it
Their website is both cryptic and in Italian (whereas I have instructions in English and backwards translation is proving rather challenging and/or annoying), their toll phone number won't connect me with a human being, their live chat system is down
Remember kids: if you are in Italy you must speak Italian
If you want the site in English, you can't be in Italy.
Like, if I access the US portal they use my Italian shipping address except with "United States" as the country
It's really dumb.
(I still don't know what the hell an Air Way Bill number is, too, and the instructions required me to get one)
hate to say this but...
seen the wiki?
@M'vy But ... think of the K/D ratio! ;)
09:24
@MartinSojka K/D ratio is nothing. You win if the nexus goes down. Period. But all these guys want is to have the biggest...
... K/DA ofc
@JourneymanGeek what wiki?
@M'vy thatsthejoke.gif
@M'vy I know, I wasn't serious. It's the same problem with some PlanetSide 2 players - some of them get downright angry at you if you do something which makes you win a battle faster, because it cuts down on their "kill farm".
@MartinSojka oh dear.
yeah...
Note to self: never award XP on a per-kill basis
09:26
@badp: the wikipedia
@JourneymanGeek uh...
I usually respond by saying "If K/D mattered, the Nazis would win WW2." or something to that effect. ;)
I suppose that if I wikipedia "FedEx" I'll get information about the business, not how to FedEx stuff.
@MartinSojka oh boy.
@MartinSojka Bots Civilians don't count!
09:28
@badp I'm thinking more about the relative losses on the Eastern Front before the Russians got their shit together, actually.
oh. eh.
I guess that if you don't discount civilians then the non-axis side does have a couple nukes to pad their K/D ratio with anyway.
Probably more efficient than the axis approach. Definitely less bad PR involved.
@MartinSojka damn you, now I want to ask about the K/D ratios in history.SE :P
@badp inb4: flags incomming
yawn
is it breakfast time yet
I'm so hungry
What timezone are you in?
I also need to download the fifth season
yours-1
it's past breakfast time
but the sandwich van turns up at 11
09:33
Ah.
09:45
ah I can hear it in the distance
@kalina yes
all the women in chuck make their scene entrance in slow motion with their hair blowing around
@kalina Sounds uncomfortable.
@kalina Chuck is low quality television
yeah the scene skipping has started already
I am on season 3 though
10:00
@kalina I didn't make it that far, gave up during season 2
It was too ridiculous, and there wasn't enough comedy to make up for it
Very clunky show
some of it is quite clunky
@kalina No rounded characters whatsoever, every character is flat
you're flat
I enjoyed watching it at the time, but I probably couldn't watch any of it again.
@kalina Says you
10:06
how rude
@badp: I mean airwaybills ;p
@kalina How unusual
chicken bacon and cheese!
Looking at the cast, it has Adam Baldwin in it, which is always a plus. Other than that ... no idea. Sounds like "Slightly worse A-Team. With spies, nerds and fanservice."
so many scenes with Yvonne Strahovski getting dressed from naked -.-
"Game of Thrones" kind of naked?
duno never watched it
It's an HBO series. Take a guess (... or if saw Rome, no need to guess ;)).
@kalina Such a silly show
@fredley you're silly
10:25
@kalina Your face is silly
we've already established that you're silly and therefore everything you say is silly
@kalina pah
10:38
oh my god
now McDonalds does pasta too
...well, "pasta salad"
like, what the hell.
@badp That definitely sounds like it won't be an abomination
@fredley Their coffee is decent. As are their more "typical" salads, actually.
@MartinSojka Their cheeseburgers fill a 2am shaped hole when appropriate
Anyone in here want a job?
Already got one and a half, thanks.
10:59
@MartinSojka No good. AFAIK none of you are image processing people anyway
@fredley depends what kind of image processing
This is a vast topid
@M'vy Static images, at least for the moment
Primary tasks are: Edge detection/segmentation, colour and shape analysis, working with shitty phone images
like image generation? 3d/2d modelling and such?
@M'vy Not so much generation. Getting images and detecting change
@M'vy This page isn't final.
We do do 2D modelling though, though it's more feature extraction than modelling
Hum I see
11:09
@M'vy What kind of stuff have you done?
I kinda approach all of this during my Ph.D
I made a watermarking scheme for JPG images
@M'vy Cool, steganography?
Kinda
except that in steganography you don't know if there is a secret or not
@fredley Yeah, it's been a while since I actually programmed any non-trivial signal processing.
@M'vy Well if you're interested do apply and come and have a chat
11:10
@fredley I'm more into IT security than image processing to be honest
@M'vy If the steg is good. A lot of stuff can be trivially detected
@M'vy Fair enough
This is one of the problem I had. I didn't know anything about image processing 4 years ago
@M'vy I did audio steg, hiding signals in tiny echoes
neat
@M'vy Yeah, it was pretty cool. It was completely inaudible, and could survive a lot of compression
11:13
robust steg. good
Labour intensive to encode/decode though
@M'vy Bitrate was also low. A text message could fit in a minute of audio
well. basic encoding is already a burden for computers ^^
I guess MS canceled all their press interviews for E3. Who wants to bet they don't mention the DRM crap at all through the whole conference?
@fredley well steganography usually us is not all about birate, but secrecy
@M'vy That part is easy, even doing the brute-force "encode the information as many times as you can fit, on decoding average out the results" approach.
11:14
"Kingdom Hearts 15 ReMix"
@M'vy Yeah. This was pretty good for that, since the horsepower you'd have to throw at it to reliably detect the signal was enormous. If you wrote this thing into a mic. driver for example it would be awesome
@BenBrocka MS makes games?
XD
@M'vy XBone.
@fredley I'd love to be able to work on a chipset for my watermarking to embed in smartphones ^^
@M'vy This sounds like evil technology!
11:17
Speaking of which, do we have already?
Nope, seems we don't.
@fredley it's better for processing though. The major problem we had was that the JPG encoding requires too much processing power for a smartphone. That's why they have hardware chips to make it
@fredley oh neat! Android app!
@M'vy Yeah, this was the problem with my app
Decoding can take minutes!
@M'vy I have no idea if it still works, I haven't touched it for years
2
eheh
@fredley I wonder if you could do steganography with harmonics
@M'vy Yeah, that would be interesting. Hiding stuff in high frequencies is a bit easy to detect though
@fredley that's what I thought
11:30
@M'vy Changing the shape of the echo (essentially what I'm doing) works well though. You could do this in more subtle ways than changing the size though.
11:40
@M'vy MS makes games! Like Halo--oh wait that's a TV show
use two signals that cancel out
