Oh, that's why I'm confused. Stupid ignore.

> Ads should be placed where the eyes naturally go. Take the exposed thighs of young women in mini skirts, for example, which happen to be the landing point for many a wandering eye in Japan.

Thighvertising

Yeah, why don't they just stick ads on their faces?

Also, LOL Japan.

> Japan actually has a name for this premium space— zettai ryouiki, or “absolute territory”— and there is actually an advertising service that allows women to rent out their own “absolute territory” to advertisers.

@MartinSojka lets be honest, the wandering eyes of guys don't look at faces

Q: If I gather cows in a single area will it increase the odds of a alien invasion?

If I gather cows in a single area will it increase the odds of a alien invasion? Do creepers also count as aliens that will have increased probabilities of spawning on me? Will the chickens lay eggs faster once the aliens start putting my forests on fire?

4:05 PM

but... wtf japan

...fredley is faster than me :)

@Lazers INB4

I have used up all 14 of my delete votes :(

4:09 PM

@OrigamiRobot It's dangerous to delete alone, take me with you

I'm surprised this one stuck around for as long as it did

@kalina Just look under the first-person-shooter tag

@Wipqozn I would've voted to delete that if I had had any votes left.

somebody choose an appropriate tag for this question that isn't framerate or performance:

138

Q: Why do video game framerates need to be so much higher than TV and cinema framerates?

It seems that video games need to have something like 60 frames per second in order to be smooth and realistic. But TV and films only have about 24 or 25. Why the difference?

4:10 PM

Jesus Christ...

@kalina performance is fine

@kalina monitor

@GnomeSlice performance is basically technical-issues

So use technical-issues then

you're all so helpful

@GnomeSlice Technical issues doesn't really apply.

4:12 PM

Then use performance

I don't think I agree that performance and technical issues are the same thing.

Or just close and delete it.

@Wipqozn allow me to rephrase: pretty much everything in performance should be tagged with technical-issues or another, more relevant and accepted tag

like graphics-card

or a game name in the instance of duke-nukem-forever

What you do with that question will not tell me what to eat for lunch, so I don't really care.

@OrigamiRobot I've deleted everything that had 2 delete votes on it

4:14 PM

@OrigamiRobot Sushi

@GnomeSlice It's not really about performance, though. I'd say framerate is more apprioate.

@fbueckert You beat me to it!

Nor will it unfreeze my AutoCAD preventing me from redoing all my work.

@Wipqozn I'm going for some tomorrow!

@fbueckert I haven't had sushi in over a week It hink.

I need to get some.

4:15 PM

@Wipqozn I envy you living so close to the sea.

It's probably much cheaper for you than me.

@fbueckert How expensive is it for you?

@Wipqozn I can run through ~$30-40 without much effort.

@fbueckert I can get a meal here for ~$20

@fbueckert I don't like sushi

@Wipqozn How much sushi does that get you?

4:17 PM

@fbueckert 3 Maki rolls.

Maki rolls usually range from $4-6 each.

Q: Assassin’s Creed 2 on nvidia quadro nvs 295

I installed Assassin’s Creed 2 on a workstation with nvidia quadro nvs 295. But the framerate is very low. Is it possible to run the game with this graphics card? The game requires : Video Card: 256 MB DirectX 9.0–compliant card with Shader Model 3.0 or higher Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT or AT...

Hi, quick question; is it acceptable to post the same question to two stackexchange sites? This is about gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/136477

@Twon-ha No, we hate cross posting.

no, post it on the Stack Exchange most suited to the content of your question

Well, see, I've already posted it, but it may be more suited to scifi.

4:18 PM

hat's if you buy the maki rolls separately, @fbueckert.

They usually have combination meals whiuch you can get for cheaper.

@Twon-ha either ask one of our mods to migrate it to sci-fi (which probably won't happen as it's on topic here) or delete it and repost it there (which will probably result in it being migrated back here)

@Wipqozn I'm trying to find a price list for where I usually go.

I usually don't get the other types of sushi outside of combos so it's harder for me to price those.

I usually eat here wasabihouse.ca/wasabi/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/…

I tend to get a decent amount of it, and always try to order a specialty roll, so that makes it more expensive.

Can anyone tell me what this was?

4:20 PM

@kalina I doubt scifi will migrate it back here. They'll take anything

well, also true

That menu seems to be missing a pagethough @fbueckert

@3ventic I see nothing.

@3ventic that doesn't exist

I have rep out of it and I want to know >.<

4:21 PM

@fbueckert I usually wind up spending $20. 1 Specialty roll + 2 Maki rolls OR 1 Specialty Roll + soba in Broth

@Wipqozn skipthedishes.ca/kimchi-cafe

There's the place, with their menu.

It's a removed tag, that much I know

If I go for lunch I usually get a variety plate which contains nigir, sashmi and maki.

@kalina, @OrigamiRobot Alright, I might create a scifi account and ask for it to be migrated. Thanks!

Which goes for $10-$15 depending on the size.

4:22 PM

They do an incredibly good Philadelphia roll.

Oh, there we go. The PDF menu is just set up in the wrong order.

@3ventic tags aren't /q/<id>

@kalina But it says tag wiki on my rep line

interesting

Perhaps the link is simply broken?

4:23 PM

Then again, I tear through something like three or four ala-carte rolls regularly. More if I'm hungry.

even then we don't have 132852 tags

Q: Why can't I mine Crimtane ore?

I've found some red ore in surface Crimson area, which I assumed to be Crimtane. I've managed to mine Crimtane ore underground with my Platinum Pickaxe, but this time I was unsuccessful. What is this ore and how to mine it?

Q: Why is my Mega Stone not in the location it should be?

I upgraded my Mega Ring and have been looking for Mega Stones, and I found a nice guide to the Mega Stone's locations. However, the Mega Stone isn't in the place it's supposed to be, and I'm sure the location is right. Why isn't my Mega Stone here?

@3ventic gaming.stackexchange.com/posts/132852/revisions

@fbueckert Your stuff seems a bit more expensive, but not much.

the link is broken, congratulations, you've found a bug

4:24 PM

@Wipqozn It's probably just me being a bottomless pit. :P

could be because the tag was removed again

It's removed completely

Meta time!

@fbueckert A couple of your things are even cheaper.

I could easily spend $30-40 when I go, I just try not to.

Loads of Sushi!

@fredley Was on mobile. And I'm lazy, so nyeh.

Still haven't decided

I want shrimp tacos, but it's going to be a pain

4:26 PM

@OrigamiRobot Pita, Sub, or Pizza.

@Wipqozn I try not to either, but when I'm with friends, it's so easy to eat and talk.

I don't know what a Pita is, I've been eating a million subs lately, and I don't like by-the-slice pizza around here

@OrigamiRobot How about just regular tacos.

@3ventic meta time for the broken link or meta time for the tag being removed?

@fbueckert The shrimp isn't the part that's a pain, the location is.

4:27 PM

@kalina broken link, no use for a tag without question, eh?

@OrigamiRobot Do you know what a wrap is?

No

@3ventic was just checking

Pita or pitta ( or ) (from Greek: πίτα) is a term used to denote several different types of bread in many Mediterranean, Balkan and Middle Eastern cuisines. It is prevalent in Greece, Cyprus, the Balkans, North Africa, the Levant, Iran, Armenia, Turkey, and parts of the Indian Subcontinent. Origin Pita is a slightly leavened wheat bread, flat, either round or oval, and variable in size. Its history extends far into antiquity, since flatbreads in general, whether leavened or not, are among the most ancient breads, requiring no oven or utensils to make. The term used for the bread in E...

@OrigamiRobot A pita is essentially a mini sub.

4:27 PM

Wow. What a terrible picture.

hey guys I've nearly been here for 80 days!

Are any of you familiar with biz.turbulenz.com ?

@fbueckert In my experience pitas usually have a lot more stuff shoved in them than a sub.

@Wipqozn Hard to do; my pitas keep falling apart, and it's hard to cram as much as there is in a sub.

also: hometime

4:29 PM

@fbueckert Depends on the siza of the pita bread I suppose.

Man, now I need lunch, but I don't have a car. I also don't think we have much in the way of food in the house.

Wait a second..

It's a pain because this place always wants to put the tacos in a to go box and the tacos just roll around in there

@Wipqozn That, too. I'm comparing a footlong from Subway versus the largest thing you can get from the Pita Pit.

This link is /q but takes to a tag wiki

@fbueckert Pita Pit always gives small pitas.

Extreme Pita is my pita place of choice.

4:30 PM

@Wipqozn Best (only) pita place around the area I work.

@3ventic I didn't find much to like about that game.

@GnomeSlice I'm waiting for the co-op rumored to be in the next patch

@3ventic Check out fancyskulls.com

@fbueckert I always used to eat at a Pita Pit for a while as well. It was literally a 10 seconds walk from where I worked.

@Wipqozn I try not to go to the same place more than once a week.

Keeps a bit of variety going for me.

4:31 PM

@fbueckert I usually always have the same thing.

on fridays I usually mix it up.

I had subs every day last week.

@GnomeSlice looks similar with simpler graphics and a lot slower pace

If there was a good express Japanese place around here, I'd go every single day

@3ventic The game similar to these I am most excited for is Bloodcrusher II.

If I get the job I had the interview for I don't think there's any food places nearby.

4:32 PM

It looks ridiculous.

I guess I'll just get chinese today :(

There wasn't even a bloodcrusher 1

Not within walkin distance at least.

@GnomeSlice You know so many games most people don't know that it's ridiculous.

which might not be a bad thing, really. Could result in my saving money.

4:33 PM

@3ventic Tell me about it...

But yeah, I didn't find Paranautical Activity as good as I was hoping. Music is good. Gameplay is... I dunno. Eh.

@GnomeSlice That reminds me a lot about serious sam

@3ventic It's styled like a parody of over-the-top 90's shooters.

Weapons are randomly generated. You can get guns that shoot bees and swords.

@GnomeSlice sounds about right

> You know whats awesome? A Rocket Launcher that shoots chainsaws. You know what's even more awesome? A Rocket Launcher that shoots chainsaws, that light people on fire. That's what the basic goal of Booster items are. To make awesome things even more awesome.

I can shoot bees and swords in terraria

4:34 PM

@3ventic Yeah but Terraria isn't an FPS. Also I could never get into it.

Not accessible enough for me.

@GnomeSlice Friends.

Get some to play with

@GnomeSlice for many, that's a selling point

I can finish the game in 3 days so there's not much left for me there

There's one restaurant that's a short walk away. Probably 5 minutes.

@Sconibulus I know. I'm not an FPS fanboy. Just saying that comparing the two is silly.

4:36 PM

@GnomeSlice Who cares about perspective

other than artists ofc

@3ventic It really changes the feel of the game.

@Wipqozn Not eating lunch at restaurants saves a ridiculous amount of money.

I have nothing against 2D games. I just couldn't get into Terraria.

As does not going for coffee at restaurants.

@3ventic Terreria feels nothing like an FPS. They're completely different.

4:37 PM

@Wipqozn Of course a 2D game won't feel like an FPS

@JasonBerkan Yeah, it would.

quick question, does Black&White count as a first person game?

PRETTY

@Sconibulus Top-down, I'd say.

Closest to that has to be the old flat-3D-characters in old shooters like duke nukem 3d

4:37 PM

But I mean I guess the character perspective is first person

Trying to think of meals I could start bringing.

I could start making rice dishes the night before and bringing them to work. I've done before.

Works really well.

I've worked with people who spend $30+ per day on food and coffee.

I rely on leftover pizza and lasagna.

@JasonBerkan My word.

Still haven't left :(

Part of the reason I usually ate at the pita pit was it would cost me less than $10 with tax.

@OrigamiRobot At this point you mine as well not even eat.

Just work through your break, and seem super motivated.

4:40 PM

But I am so hungry

Then go get food.

Fish Tacos. Just eat at the place.

IF you're worried about the tacos tacoing all over the place.

I'm not eating at a place alone.

I'll just wait till the last minute so their lunch rush is over

Then i'll make the put the tacos in foil like burritos.

@RonanForman Your script is officially a virus

Lmao

CC @3ventic

We have rice and vegatables. I know what I'm making for lunch.

4:49 PM

what's going on

why is there no fire?

WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE REAL BRIDGE MEMBERS?

We're all too hungry to fight.

Holy crap it's 2pm. I haven't eaten anything today.

Also this is like, lupper or something.

@GnomeSlice wat

@fredley youtube.com/watch?v=yf9gulYfUh4

@3ventic indiedb.com/games/bloodcrusher-ii/news/elemental-boosters

@kalina We burned to death

4:51 PM

@Wipqozn Speak for yourself. I went out to get a quick snack.

@kalina I'll take some fire. It's cold and snowing.

@JasonBerkan denied

Blade Symphony for %50 off for ~8 more minutes

@kalina Capone won by a landslide

@kalina Guess I'll stick to coffee then.

4:54 PM

@fredley the musical arrangements are getting far more intricate in comparison to the older ones

@kalina Yeah

@kalina More time and money from Assassins Creed clearly

@fredley duno the arrangement in the last one was much better than pretty much everything before it as well

@kalina Practice makes perfect I guess

Anyway. I must go soon.
