Addiction to gaming recognised as a mental health condition by WHO http://bit.ly/2LYB9Jp
can we now consider EA's Whales and mentally sick?
 
@Memor-X What we need is get designers to stop putting gambling addiction cycles in microtransaction games.

Q: Minecraft Redstone delay that only works if active for 5 seconds but turns off when not active

Kirby5568So if I were to stand on a pressure plate, how would I make the pulse wait but as soon as I'm not on the pressure plate, the pulse stops? I've tried having the pressure plate hook up to a command that places a Redstone block then removes it when it isn't active, but that still makes the output s...

Q: Divinity Original Sin EE - Can the elemental forge be used for crafting?

Nigel FdsI've reached the elemental forge and broken Boreas's staff. I've also read that you can do something with weresheep wool. But is there anything else we can do with the elemental forge ? Like improving weapons or shields ? I can't seem to find anything online.

 
@Frank I feel like this is the first step toward that: getting people to recognize that there is an addiction there
 
@John more that there is the possibility of addiction

@Memor-X They're designed to faciilitate addiction
 
user15026
Also, saying "oh well it's not guaranteed, people are just predisposed, it's their problem, they just gotta be better about it" is the kind of argument they use to get out of it
 
user15026
so possibility or no, the fact that we allow companies to effectively prey on people like this is gross
 
It really is.
Addiction is a serious problem which many gaming companies are happy to exploit to make a profit. It's fucked.
Not just gaming companies of course. Cigarette companies have been doing the same thing for decades.
 
user15026
It is so goddamn fucked up and it makes me angry that we keep letting it happen and so many people are just like "well that's gaming now" or they like...laud themselves for not falling for it and it's like DO YOU NOT SEE HOW BAD THIS IS
 
user15026
@Wipqozn That is a really good comparison
 
1:59 AM
@Ash i wasn't implying it like that. more that companies should take responsibility to not prey on addiction......which is probably asked for a miracle
like you would think that someone with any sort of decency would do "shit, dude this could be bad for those susceptible to addiction like children. we should look into it more and make it less harmful to them"
 
@Memor-X not a miracle, just government regulations.
 
@Wipqozn government regulations don't make companies take responsibility, it's just a hurdle they work to get over
going back to cigarettes the Australian Government told companies they had to show the medical side-effects of smoking like rotted gang green toes and the like. cigarette companies then just made their packages look more stylish until the government told them to make them plain packages
ofcause cigarette companies are scumbags of themselves who sell a legal form of slow suicide

ShaeldonAfter they are hatched/released you can see that in their information window. But where can I find them before if I want to plan which dinosaurs to put together? The 2nd tab would have the actual numbers, but I don't have a screenshot of that.

L.D.In Secret World Legends, is it still possible to obtain all skills ? If so, does it take much time ? I know that a big part of the game are the puzzles and I'm not planning on rushing it, but it would be nice to have an estimate. Also, is it possible to reskill a character, and how ?

Ahmad Ilyasi want to know if it is possible to copy games, which u and your friend already own, like free ps+ games, and paste them in your ps4 system without downloading them yourself. I have a spow internet connection so i cannot download them myself. Is it possible to do so? Thank you.

 
@Wipqozn rekt
 
@fredley I should probably root for Germany because Brazil 7-1
 
Germany are bombing out
My money on Belgium to win
 
Yeah they lost to Mexico
 
1:02 PM
@Wipqozn I love watching soccer for one month every four years.
 
Germany is the only team I'm familiar with at all solely because of Brazil 7-1
@Exeggutor I'll probably do the same
Too much effort to watch it more frequently
 
@fredley I appreciate your gesture, especially since it means you want to see England lose
 
Nobody has any expectations that England will win.
 
@Exeggutor I mean, England has won more world cups than Belgium
 
It's a little known fact that England won the World Cup 52 years ago. It's something no one in England will tell you about
 
1:11 PM
@Ronan "Did you ever hear the tragedy of World Cup the 1966th? I thought not. it's not a tale the English would tell you. it's a Welsh legend"
 
You guys should just move to more winning countries
 
Yeah, like the USA.
 
@Nzall I'm pretty sure he was joking
 
@Wipqozn Rather hard to tell in written form
 
1:15 PM
Is this one of those cases where someone doesn't realize who I am but if they did then they'd have known I was joking?
 
@Nzall it can be, but I think you're just bad at picking up sarcasm
 
Also the USA isn't even in the World Cup, so it was a multilayered bad joke.
 
@Exeggutor also this
 
@Exeggutor you're Strixvaria, right?
 
@Exeggutor I thought they were in it
I know Canada isn't
 
1:16 PM
@Wipqozn No, they didn't qualify this time.
@Nzall Yes.
 
Womp Womp
 
Panama took our spot :P
 
Also Colombia getting a red card 3 minutes in was nuts
 
Hang on, blue hyperlink name means mod, right?
 
I went to get breakfast thinking, "I'll be back before anything happens in this game."
Wrong.
 
1:17 PM
room owner?
 
Italics = owner
Special color + diamond = mod
 
then what's Blue?
 
17 secs ago, by Exeggutor
Special color + diamond = mod
 
@Exeggutor I don't see any diamond
 
@Nzall The special colour changes depending on the site style
 
1:18 PM
(I think it might be other colors in other chat themes)
 
@Nzall Maybe it's cut off because of your resolution or something.
@Wipqozn and I both have diamonds on every message.
@Unionhawk has the room owner italics.
 
I hope not, it's bog standard 1080p
 
@Exeggutor
It's there in the click on name popup box
 
Don't make me figure out how to take a screenshot on linux.
 
but I've never seen it in scriptless styleless chat next to messages
 
1:19 PM
I don't think the diamond shows up on chat messages
 
okay. So both of you are mods. Does this mean since you guys brought up politics and nationalism it's okay for me to do so as well?
 
I'm not sure by your logicking this is a good plan generally speaking
 
@fredley Did you add a diamond in the PorkChat style?
 
especially when the context here was a one off remark
 
@Exeggutor Yarp
 
1:20 PM
One would hope that moderators are at least beholden to the same rules as normal users
2
 
@fredley This explains all of my confusion.
@Nzall Which message wasn't?
I don't think one of mine. My joke was actually specifically about the USA not qualifying for the World Cup, which isn't exactly a political stance.
 
@Exeggutor INSUFFICIENT PATRIOTISM DETECTED
 
@Exeggutor The one where Wipqozn invoked Trump's motto of MAGA
 
@Exeggutor I think he's referring to our 3 message exchange, ending with my "It was recently made great again"
 
TACTICAL PATRIOTISM ENHANCEMENT SQUAD DESPATCHED
 
1:22 PM
I have a work thing to do but I think this is a legitimate concern.
 
If you can despatch something, can you also spatch it? 🤔
 
no
that's also not how you spell dispatch
 
Because the answer is "No, they're not". I'll just move my message over to TIF.
 
@Unionhawk wrong
 
oh my god
 
1:23 PM
 
@uni was wrong, oh my god
 
@Unionhawk tomato tomato
 
> The latter is an alternative spelling that was common in the 19th century and earlier
@FREDLEY IS IN THE 19TH CENTURY OR EARLIER: DATA ACCEPTED
 
@Unionhawk Yes, I am British, well noticed
 
@fredley Are you so yearning back to your colonial grandeur that you're using mannerisms from that time when you still had a place in global politics?
btw, that's meant as a burn, not as political commentary
 
1:26 PM
@fredley Apparently you can in spanish
 
@Nzall It was.... a mild burn
@Ronan brb, googling "Spatchcock"
That was not what I thought it was
 
I love the meta usage example on that
 
Oh that? I eat Quails prepared like that every year on the 29th of December
 
user15026
@Nzall considering you just lectured mods about it, maybe if you have to clarify it's best just to not?
 
user15026
Because I feel like that could have kinda applied to the stuff that got tossed to TIF
 
1:30 PM
oh, sorry. I could probably have made a less political comment that would be equally burning
 
annnnd japan just scored. This is quite the upset from what I understand.
That red flag certainly helped
 
@Wipqozn *card
@Nzall as in not at all?
(Oh Buuuuurn) cc: @Wipqozn
 
@fredley At least I had red right
 
@Wipqozn I mean, there are only 2 kinds of cards in football, so you had a 50% chance
and I doubt you're colorblind to the point of not knowing the difference between red and yellow
 
@Nzall I mean, apart from the orange card
and the green card
and the chequered card
 
1:38 PM
@fredley Are those actually a thing?
 
@Nzall Depends if you're playing association
 
@fredley association is the team for real football, aka soccer, right?
 
@fredley Orange cards were proposed, not actually a thing. Green cards are only a thing in like 3 sports. Chequered cards are not a thing in any sport
 
@Wipqozn lol flag
 
@Wipqozn a-soccer-iation football
 
1:42 PM
@fredley Excellent
 
@Wipqozn I mean, that's literally why it's called soccer
 
@fredley TIL
I always thought Americans just pulled that name out of thin air
I'm reviewing some code and saw it and went "wtf is that"
jQuery really is great and does all things
 
@Wipqozn Nah, there are many other kinds of football, and always were
 
@fredley Yeah I knew there were different kinds, but I was only aware of American Football and almost everyone else football.
 
@Wipqozn OZZY ROOOOOOLES
But also Gaelic Football and Rugby Football (Rugby) are two other big variants
And Table, obviously
 
1:49 PM
@fredley I was wondering if rubgy was another kind of football
Figured it was, since like yeah, it obviously seems like it
 
@Wipqozn Indeed it is
 
I mean I always joked it was basically American Football for non-cowards
since they don't run around in padding

Q: How do I use AutoHotKey to switch Slomo modes in Ark/Conan Exiles?

Grumpy ol' BearConan Exiles and Ark use the same engine. You press insert, you type "slomo 3", you press enter, and the game runs wayyy faster. I'm trying to get an AHK script working where when I press F1, F2 and F3 it changes between slomo 1.2, 2, 3. So far with this I haven't had any luck: f1:: { Send...

oh they can punch the ball in gaelic football

Bit over a minute to go
 
@Wipqozn i find it less so now-a-days. sure being able to attach a javascript object to a node is cool but generally a short work around to that is storing it as JSON to a data- attribute
 
1:51 PM
Pretty sure Japan has got this
Now I'm really sure Japan has got this
(since they just won)
 
This world cup is weird...
 
@Wipqozn That is actually default HTML and Javascript that Jquery is extending
You can use it to attach Javascript variables to any HTML element and then call them from Javascript. it's quite useful
Only problem is that IE is again a bastard in older versions where you need to use a workaround
 
@Nzall or just ignore older IE versions
 
@Wipqozn Yeah, that's definitely an option if you got that choice
I mean, at our company we also decided to drop all support for IE 10 and older
 
2:06 PM
@Nzall simple, create some javascript which turns the page into a full page banner saying "GET A REAL BROWSER [LINK TO AN ALTERNATIVE]"
 
@Memor-X Or do what some webshops do and charge the user a 3% obsolescence tax
 
@Nzall this is great, but I feel like the target audience won't know what they're being taxed for and will just ignore it
I mean, the webshop is getting paid to support IE7, but the lesson is not being learned
 
Honestly the solution is to just not bother supporting older IE versions
Put up a notice saying 'your experience might suck so upgrade'
 
@Chippies Also, this was from 6 years ago. Even IE11 is still throwing JS errors

Q: Are the fighting minigames in some hockey video games based on events that happen in real life hockey matches?

NzallIn some hockey games (I think the EA Sports NHL series, can't give a specific game name since I can't remember when I played this particular game), at certain points there are short minigames where you and another player throw of their helmet and gloves and start punching each other until someone...

 
@Lazers2.0 I'm not sure why this already got a downvote
 
Because it's off topic.
Questions asking how well a game reflects reality are off topic.
I don't remember what reason we use for that, though, since we don't have one that specifically mentions that.
 
ah, okay, that must have changed then because I could have sworn there were games in the "related" list that asked similar "is this a real thing" questions and were still open
 
@Lazers2.0 if I understand the question correctly, it seems like no research was done
many people that don't care about hockey know that fights in hockey are pretty common
 
@Nzall The existence of an open off topic question seems inevitable.
 
3:06 PM
@Exeggutor my bet is not that it's off-topic, but that it shows no research
 
@Chippies They're both valid reasons to downvote.
Oh I didn't even realize it was your question @Nzall.
 
@Exeggutor definitely, but I don't necessarily think it is off-topic
 
Since you guys both state that it's either off-topic or low-effort, I just deleted it
 
probably borderline off-topic, but not black and white
 
The answer is that yes, fighting is an actual thing in hockey.
It's not as common as it used to be.
If you get into a fight you get a 5-minute major penalty.
But they're offsetting so teams still play 5 on 5 while they're being served.
@Chippies Clearly off topic. We're not experts in how real things work in real life. We're experts on how game mechanics work in games.
 
3:07 PM
@Yuuki excellent
 
Asking whether a gun has a realistic spray pattern is off topic for the exact same reason.
 
user15026
@Exeggutor depending on the fight, but yeah.
 
@Exeggutor I mean, the way the question title was worded, I guess it's off-topic, but the answer is a pretty objective "yes, it happens in real hockey games"
 
@Ash If you don't get too into it sometimes they just get 2-minute roughing calls. If it's not a mutual fight to begin with then one player can get a 2-minute instigator call.
@Chippies The fact that we know the answer doesn't make the question on topic.
 
user15026
@Exeggutor yep exactly.
 
3:09 PM
Hockey's my main sport :P
 
user15026
(sorry I was trying to explain that but I just finished a workout so I am shaky typing Hahaha)
 
anyways, when it comes to questions like that, I don't vote either way, because I don't feel I'm qualified to make a judgement
 
@Exeggutor Yeah, otherwise 'What's 1+1?" would be on-topic.
 
user15026
@Exeggutor I mostly just watch local hockey, I don't pay attention to NHL much so if there are differences, I might miss those nuances
 
user15026
But yeah, agree that it is off topic
 
3:10 PM
@Ash I only watch the NHL and I think "instigator" might be specific to NHL.
I know that it was pretty controversial how it's been implemented at least.
They're really trying to get fighting down though and it's working.
I only saw a handful all last season for the Devils.
 
@Exeggutor it is asking if a thing in a game about real life sports happens in real life sports. I don't quite see the off-topic here
but I am not trying to argue that it is not off-topic
 
@Chippies Because at gaming.stackexchange.com we are experts on gaming, not on real life sports.
 
@Exeggutor but isn't that an issue with all sports games?
 
We can definitely answer questions about the game's interpretation of the sport because we can do empirical tests.
We can't answer questions about the real-life version of the sport because that's outside of our area of expertise.
 
@Exeggutor i had a hockey game for the N64. best part about playing it was body checking people until they got upset and fought you, then beating them in a boxing match
 
3:12 PM
@Dragonrage I had a hockey game for N64 and the goalie would turn into a literal brick wall sometimes while making a save.
It was amazing.
And a question asking "Can hockey goalies actually turn into brick walls and block the entire net?" would be off topic.
Even though literally any human could answer it.

@Yuuki get sushi
 
@Dragonrage Having this for dinner tomorrow. There's a Qdoba on the way home from my son's ophthalmologist.
 
I mean, sure I'll consider sushi if I go out, but the question is whether to go out or go home not where to go out.
 
There are literally only two Qdobas where I live and one is in an airport
Chipotle doesn't fair much better
turns out when there's actual local Mexican joints that will give you a bean rice and crack cocaine burrito for 69 cents they don't do too well
Taco Bell however is like a cockroach
 
I think Freebird is more of a thing in Houston than either Qdoba or Chipotle.
 
4:50 PM
@quartata There's a Chipotle down the road from me but it doesn't compare.
 
It does not care about competition at all
 
@quartata That's because no one is competing with it.
 
you mean there's no competitors for the disgusting hamburger taco market
 
Taco Bell isn't Mexican food or Americanized Mexican food. It's just Taco Bell.
 
that's fair
 
4:51 PM
There's no one else in the field.
 
what about Del Taco
which also blows. but it does so in a similar manner
 
I've never been to one.
But anyway, food home or food out?
 
@quartata never had a problem with del taco.
 
5:04 PM
by my back of the envelope math I've spent 4000 hours eating Mexican food... on my way to mastery
 
@Yuuki sushi
 
@quartata if you were a genius like scott adams you could be a master at this 3998 hours ago
 
@Yuuki the answer is to get Sushi, and if that means going out, then that answers your first question.

Q: Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition not saving

Vinoth KarthickI've installed Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition in my PC (Windows 10). The installation was successful and the game works fine. I saved and quit the game after playing 1 hour. When I again launched the game, I found there is no save happened and I verified the Characters Folder inside Bioware ...

 
5:55 PM
@Exeggutor Could I have reworded the question and made it on-topic while still getting a similar answer?
 
@Nzall No question asking about a game's relationship to its real-world counterpart is on topic.
 
So that's a no
 
Correct.
 
okay
Glad I self-deleted then, since there wasn't any way to salvage it
Okay, according to multiple sources, the Steam Sales arrive in 2 days. Any particular games you guys are eyeing for?
 
if there is a stack exchange site on the real world counterpart, it might be ok/on-topic to ask if something is correctly portrayed there
 
5:59 PM
that's my wishlist
@Dragonrage There is a sports stack, I think
 
iirc there is, but you may want to ask on their meta, or in their chat to see if they accept those questions
 
user15026
I honestly dont think "is there fighting in real hockey" would be super accepted on Sports either because at the core it's super easy to google for and find out, etc.
 
Do you guys have any particular games you're hoping get a good discount on the Steam Summer Sales, or have you guys collectively decided to stop using it?
 
user15026
I'm not sure though, I'd check with the site users
 
I don't even know what I want for Steam Summer sales.
 
6:09 PM
ill just look and see if there is anything interesting cheap. i dont think i particularly have anything im looking for

I think I'll be taking the Grimoire of Sacrifice talent on my Warlock from now on because I really don't want to deal with WoW's terrible minion pathing.

I'm looking forward to trying out Frost Mage again in BfA
 
I played Enhancement shaman the past 2 years. last week we essentially got a massive fuck you from the developers when they said "you're going to be broken mechanically until patch 8.1". Currently gearing up my Fury Warrior
 
I'll probably play my Paladin a lot too since I have Archaeology and Fishing maxed. I have fun with secondary professions and it's annoying that they're character-specific.
 
Apparently someone at SO doesn't like me.
Every single post of mine got down voted.

I don't know a lot about WoW but I have fun just kinda wandering and questing with my husband
 
@Frank sounds like someone is about to have their account suspended for voting irregularities

He drags me through dungeons sometimes which is fun
 
@Nzall I played ele shaman for Legion
 
also, my single meta post on MSO now has more upvotes than i have rep on SO lol
 
@Dragonrage For the first time? Doubt it.
 
i should answer more stuff on SO now that I know how to program significantly better than I did when I used to write some answers there.
but, eh im too lazy to wade through it all to find a question that interests me enough to answer
 
@Ash Cherish this time. Chances are once you reach max level and want to do group content, you are going to descend into the madness that is WoW gearing, where the same item can have 20 different versions and you need to run a simulation to figure out which is best

@Nzall Nah, I don't think I will get to that point to be honest, that's not realy my style
 
user15026
@Frank Well, first time to you, you don't know what else they might have done :P
 
@Ash That's a fair point.
 
user15026
@Frank Or I am full of conspiracy theory, who knows :P
 
@Ash imo the type of person who would downvote all of someones posts because they dont like them, would be the type of person to also break other rules
 
user15026
I don't think I'll ever be like serious raider or nothing but I like just running around and questing and learning the lore and spending the time with my husband - maybe someday we will find people to guild with but for now, this is good (and he has a bunch of high level charas he can use to drag me through dungeons if I so desire, which can be entertaining)

@Dragonrage I tend to agree

Q: Is it possible to indefinitely keep up with the Avatar timer?

CarcigenicateIs it possible to theoretically keep the Avatar timer from fully filling indefinitely if you're careful, or does the timer advance slightly faster than opportunities to take it down appear, and eventually it becomes impossible to overcome? It would be nice once the final assault is unlocked to b...

(Also WoW has SO MUCH LORE. Like SO MUCH.)
 
user15026
It's great. I really missed that in Warframe, outside of like...the handful of SUPER HARD story quests
 
most of warframes lore is hidden away, and you have to specifically hunt for it
 
@Ash WoW's got something like 15 years on Warframe to build it up.
More if you include the original Warcraft games.

like codex scans give you a lot of lore, but not very many people actually go read it
 
@Ash I like WoW lore, I just wish they would do a better job of developing it.
 
I just have Helios with the auto-scanning mod.
I'm building up so much info!
 
user15026
@Dragonrage Yeah, I did poke at those (and the secret bits)
 
user15026
@Frank That definitely helps with codex :)
 
i think its because people expect lore to be shown to them through quests, not actually go read stuff
 
user15026
6:49 PM
@Frank Yeah, World's been explaining to me the bits I don't know because I didn't play those
 
@Frank yeah, its pretty great. i have all 3 widgets too to make it faster to collect data
 
@Frank It's interesting how they retcon previous lore for WoW.
But also annoying when they sometimes completely ignore Warcraft lore.
 
user15026
I do wish sometimes there was like...books or something to fill in the holes
 
user15026
I should check if there's anything like...offiicial
 
@Ash oh, there are DEFINITELY books
Get Warcraft Chronicles to start with
that's essentially a list of short stories that tells the history of the universe Azeroth is in
there are 3 books to start with
 
user15026

Yesssssss good
 
user15026
I figured there were but I wasn't sure if they'd be canon lore or just like how not all Star Trek novels or whatever are strictly canon
 
Then there is also Nobbel (Nobbel87 on Youtube) who releases weekly WoW lore videos on loads of content. If you are somewhat good at playing while listening to out of game stuff, he's masterful
@Ash all of the books are canon, apart from where they contradict with ingame lore

There's also a lot of back and forth how the Burning Legion works.
 
@Dragonrage I just have the auto-recharger.
 
and Warcraft Chronicles essentially is THE canon outside of the games
so the priority is roughly game > Chronicles > other books
