@GnomeSlice You around?

Is anyone around?

Blem

@ShotgunNinja that descriptions sounds exactly like The Bridge...

2:16 PM

@Blem Except for "inherently on topic"

Blem

@SaintWacko and Classy

@Blem Heh

Shotgun Ninja

All of those are programming language terms. Class, inheritance, reflection, generics, expressions, methods, arguments.

@SaintWacko Everything's on topic here except for games. We don't talk about games.

@PrivatePansy Well, duh. Games are the devil's tool, clearly

@fbueckert That is fascinating. That would be incredible

I wonder what kind of asteroid that one easy one is

Slow this morning

2:29 PM

@SaintWacko I'm back

@ShotgunNinja Yeah the writing is terrible.

Let me know when you have it down so I can delete the message

got it

Ben Brocka

@ShotgunNinja I prefer to base my statements on ridiculous facts

You uh... might have to wait about 7-8 days again

Shotgun Ninja

@BenBrocka lol

2:31 PM

I'm out of data for the month, so I wouldn't be able to get on Steam until later

@GnomeSlice lol

Buy more games?

@SaintWacko Sorry. Something I've been really wanting went on a daily deal so I kinda bought it.

@GnomeSlice Heh, no worries

I can give you interest if you want.

@SaintWacko groupees.com/bm9

@SaintWacko Have you played any more Hammerwatch?

@GnomeSlice Hah, no, I wouldn't ever ask a friend for interest

I wonder if they've fixed the internet connectivity yet.

@SaintWacko I just feel dumb.

2:33 PM

@GnomeSlice I beat it once, got somewhat annoyed at the way it ended, and haven't again

I may play it today, though

Also, I've been playing Hexxit

Way too much

@SaintWacko You beat it? How far does it go? I played with @RedRiderX a bit and we died on like the second floor both times.

@GnomeSlice It's got 4 acts with 3 floors each

@SaintWacko Oh man, how the hell.

The stupid worm things are so hard.

@GnomeSlice What classes were you?

@SaintWacko Paladin and archer, and then... uh... archer and paladin

I think

Paladin is terrible against the worms

2:35 PM

@GnomeSlice Ha, yeah

I played ranger

Ranger is easy

Ranger is OP

Yes

@GnomeSlice Yeah, but you do have the chance to block shots with your swing, I think.

Especially if you have combo healing

I remember hearing something about that...

2:36 PM

Just lure in some enemies, hit a combo, and heal up

@RedRiderX I never saw anything like that, but if you're not swinging, you block all attacks from in front of you

@RedRiderX oh you can do that?

@SaintWacko I got that one once for my paladin and it appeared to do nothing

@SaintWacko Oh ok, maybe I just remembered it wrong then...

I haven't played it much lately.

@SaintWacko wait what?

you can get hit from the front and not take damage?

@GnomeSlice Did you build up a combo?

I haven't played anything much lately.

2:38 PM

@SaintWacko Yeah, I got the colour flash thing

@GnomeSlice That's how it was in the demo, anyways

Maybe they changed it

@SaintWacko whaaaaaaat

I never tried

Hooray for after effects!

@GnomeSlice Hm, that should have been healing you for 1 health every half second

2:39 PM

@SaintWacko only 1?

Maybe it did then. That's like nothing though

@GnomeSlice Well, considering even the shortest combo keeps going for a few seconds, that's like a free apple

And you can keep upgrading it

I had mine at 4 health per second

apples are like 25 health aren't they

ah

er, half second

I enver got far enough to upgrade it

apples are 10

oranges are 25

2:40 PM

@RedRiderX kept killing me on the spike traps

@GnomeSlice Only the one time!

@RedRiderX =P

You waited until I was on the last tile too.

@GnomeSlice How did he do that?

@SaintWacko Walking around and accidental hitting buttons.

To the downvoter(s): Could you please consider commenting on why you downvoted this question? This is so I (and others) would know what was wrong with it, and so I could address that concern or edit the question to improve it. When downvotes are left without comments and the reasons for doing so are unclear, you'll often see users (like myself) wanting to know the reason why. — galacticninja 15 mins ago

Makes me want to downvote again with all the fury I have.

2:42 PM

@RedRiderX 'accidentally'

@GnomeSlice accidentally

Oh my now I've reached semantic satiation with accidentally.

It just looks weird now...

Grace Note

@RedRiderX I imagine you ran into this accidentally, then.

@galacticninja FYI, RE: the D&D reference: I have a bunch of old D&D Mystara materials sitting at home from 15 years ago. It was a Thing.

@galacticninja There is no comment to make. I think the question is impractical.

Mystara was, IIRC, a kingdom from the same world as Greyhawk or something.

galacticninja

2:53 PM

@OrigamiRobot What do you expect? It's a lore question.

@galacticninja Which I mostly downvote for being impractical.

@galacticninja You do realize that there are people who categorically downvote just about any lore question, right?

This is not a New Thing either.

Not every downvote represents something you can fix.

galacticninja

@LessPop_MoreFizz I just now realized it.

Sometimes you just have to acknowledge that someone does not like your question and move the fuck on.

> Miguel is pulling an all-nighter at the library to finish a history paper. If Miguel’s computer is operating on Microsoft Word 2003, how many useful suggestions does Clippy have between the hours of 8 pm and 3 am?

> Miguel sends an email to Caroline with the .docx file “Sorry” attached. Unfortunately, her version of Word can only read .doc files, not .docx files, causing Miguel’s message to appear corrupted. Caroline wonders if she should give him a second chance. Miguel wonders if she’ll ever forgive him. Solve for x.

@RonanForman How far have you gotten?

@RedRiderX Just started episode 3.

@RonanForman I see.

They're so long, I find it hard to get enough uninterrupted time to listen to them.

3:19 PM

@GnomeSlice 20 minutes is not long.

@OrigamiRobot I miss stuff if I do that. I need to focus on it to get everything out of it.

Or I just become unproductive at work.

@GnomeSlice You're going to miss stuff anyway. The series lends itself to multiple listenings.

@fredley it's meant to be abused, it likes it.

Besides which, the code compiles.

Seriously? -5 and 2 close votes already?

@alexanderpas wtf, -12?

Why?

Somebody help me

I don't understand

I assume it's because it's a "list question".

3:55 PM

I don't see anything wrong with that question

@alexanderpas bullshit.

@SaintWacko Maybe it's because it's Guilo? Or a list question?

It's a useful question

Be we have TONS of list questions

So I don't really get that logic

I'm trying to find a definitive list of resources (from both the overworld and nether), that are 100% impossible to obtain in peaceful mode in a vanilla survival game without using any cheats. Furthermore, what resources become (very) difficult but not impossible to obtain in this situation?

What research effor could there have been?

This shows more?

@fbueckert still, IMHO it's a good question, no matter the research efford.

CC @SaintWacko

Trying every single item to find out which ones can be made into a block?

3:57 PM

@GnomeSlice This is an old question, the context was different back then.

@SaintWacko which makes it a perfect question for Arqade.

Oh wait, no it's not

Is that a dupe?

@alexanderpas No research effort is a valid reason for downvoting, however.

@fredley Oh

I haven't voted on it one way or the other.

3:58 PM

@alexanderpas Exactly. Someone out there will know the answer, or where to find it, without spending a bunch of time testing everything

I'm just pointing out that context can play a rather large part in voting decisions.

@fbueckert Ever heard of seed questions?

TBH, most of the downvotes were probably due to the user.

3

@alexanderpas Yup. And I hate 'em.

If it's not a problem you actually face, you shouldn't be asking about it.

@OrigamiRobot Which is bad

4:03 PM

@fbueckert To be honest I've always found this 'rule' a pointless restriction on content.

@SaintWacko If they're voting solely on who asked it, yes.

If they're voting on it because the user has a proven track record of low quality, unresearched questions, and the question shows those same hallmarks, it gets into a bit of a grey area.

@fbueckert Or know other people will face.

@OrigamiRobot That's a fair caveat. I had forgotten about that.

I'd prefer if it was a problem they themselves had actually faced, and resolved, but that's not a requirement.

@OrigamiRobot Someplace with meat and cheese.

@fbueckert I was thinking of a sub.

If there's a Subway/Quiznos nearby, that might work.

In fact, Subway has a Steak & cheese sub. Kinda pricey, but not bad.

There's a Jersey Mike's that I frequently go to.

It's the only sub place I'll get cheese.

Never heard of it

@GnomeSlice They slice the meats and cheeses as you order the sandwich.

Can we move this discussion elsewhere? There's no reason for this question to be so bogged down with comments. It got downvoted. Big deal. Downvotes are anonymous by design. Asking why it was voted down, or telling people how they should vote, doesn't help this question get answered. — Fluttershy 1 min ago
