@Sterno We're watching you.

@Sterno SOCK-PUPPET!

thinly veiled question mark

PERFECT WORLD WANTS TO BUY WARFRAME

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Pvt. Grichmann

Let's hope they don't ruin it even more.

Powerlord

Wow, if you try to install VS2k13 with IE 9 or less installed, it bitches at you during setup.

Ben Brocka

19:06

@thinlyveiledquestionmark well damn. Kinda glad I didn't get invested in it then

StrixVaria

@Powerlord Apparently a lot of MS stuff secretly latches onto IE (looking at you GFWL).

Because dealing with IE long enough to download a real browser wasn't bad enough.

Ben Brocka

@Powerlord I don't recall that

...oh this PC came with 11. Er it wasn't supposed to

I thought win 7 always shipped with IE8

Powerlord

I still don't know why we're stuck with IE8 anyway

Chippies

@BenBrocka I believe they updated IE in one of the service packs

A: How does stunning work?

Some enemies, such as the robotic Andron, are immune to being stunned. However, the game's UI does not give you good feedback about this, as you'll see the "blue" damage occurring. However, no amount of hitting them with stun batons or gas grenades will knock them out. For enemies that are not i...

Community is not happy about this

StrixVaria

@Sterno You're not even at 20k on your main account yet. Starting NG+ a bit early.

MBraedley

Does someone know the exact requirements for the Curious et al. badges? I'm wondering why I wasn't awarded Inquisitive.

Powerlord

@Sterno I'm surprised one of the mod's hasn't shot you yet.

...and I'm sure I really meant shot you down, not shot you.

Frank

@Powerlord Socks are only killed if they're used as sockpuppets, I believe.

Such as Mr. Santa and serial upvoting.

Sterno

I'm pretty sure multiple accounts are only a problem if you engage in bad behavior with them.

Ben Brocka

19:15

@5pike no one is happy about this

Q: What's the SO policy about having multiple user accounts?

Take this example: all SO user accounts of user known as "icepax". I can imagine of any human reasons to create a new user account at SO, e.g. willing to restart with a clean (reputation) history. But particular this one is extreme. The user known as "icepax" currently already has 10 accounts, e...

to save you all time looking for it

Frank

I don't believe mods have the capability to merge users anymore.

5pike

@BenBrocka No kidding. The thread with ~3000 messages in a day is impressive, though.

Powerlord

@5pike Know what else is impressive? censored!

Sterno

19:17

Well, if I get in trouble over that one, you'd better ding me for this one too:

Sternold

Frank

@Sterno Mr. GrumpyFace.

Ben Brocka

@5pike it released on PS4 too. Will this be the first time console players suffer Perfect World?

Krazer

@Sterno only 84?

5pike

@Powerlord Eh, that censored isn't that impressing.

Sterno

@Krazer Well, it caps at 93 anyway, so what's the difference?

No one with a birthday prior to 1920 is allowed to use StackExchange.

Krazer

19:20

@Sterno funny that you mention it.. I'm actually 94

Origami Robot

How rude

StrixVaria

@Sterno Don't upvote yourself and don't answer your own question with a different account.

I'm just waiting for you to get 20 rep on the sockpuppet and then talk to yourself on chat to set up your own one-liners.

GnomeSlice

Hello.

I moved out.

Origami Robot

A free man.

Powerlord

Apparently EA was ruled to have lied when it called its mobile Dungeon Keeper game free to play in the UK.

Origami Robot

19:23

Do you have better internet now?

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot Yes. Wanna race?

Origami Robot

@GnomeSlice OK, I'll race you to my car. Ready?

GnomeSlice

I don't have a car. =[

Origami Robot

19:25

I said my car.

GnomeSlice

where is it

Origami Robot

In the parking lot.

The license plate says "I <3 Wipqozn"

Can't miss it

Frank

So I got an email from Squeenix about the first ever FF 14 convention.

@Wipqozn You get something like that?

GnomeSlice

It's pink

But whatever

Origami Robot

Futon powers activate!

GnomeSlice

19:28

Yeeeee

ignore the cat barf stain

also where the frig are my glasses

Origami Robot

I can't see any stain

GnomeSlice

good

Origami Robot

ugh deskfans

fans are the worst

GnomeSlice

It's really old and shitty

but it's super hot, so I need it

also this monitor he gave me is whack

Origami Robot

I hate having air moving over me

GnomeSlice

19:30

making all my icons display funny on my main screen

speedtest.net/my-result/3600336436

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot I hate not having air moving over me.

I have fans in every room of my house.

Origami Robot

The only fan in my apartment is the bathroom fan

Ben Brocka

I hate noise, I rarely turn my AC on. Will be glad to get an HVAC

@StrixVaria shut up

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria k then

MBraedley

@StrixVaria I hate you

GnomeSlice

19:31

wtf 900 mb/s

StrixVaria

It's only at work, unfortunately.

GnomeSlice

You work at Google, the cable only has to go down the hall and it's at the internet.

Origami Robot

@GnomeSlice 900 millibits isn't much

Frank

@StrixVaria You. Gimme your internet.

You can have mine.

MBraedley

@OrigamiRobot 900 millibits per second would really suck.

Kevin van der Velden

19:33

Hmm, my internet is slow today, only 76 Mbps down =[

Q: Ingress linking when carrying multiple keys

So I've found it's good to store key copies in containers to make it easy to drop before hacking, to get more keys, I'm just worried that if I'm carrying 2 keys and I create a link both with be used. I believe this used to happen and am unsure if it's still the case... Thanks

ingress

Kevin van der Velden

@MBraedley this is at home btw <3

MBraedley

Mind you it's my own damn fault for moving into a building that isn't wired for fibre.

StrixVaria

At home I have 25Mbps down and 15Mbps up, not nearly as good.

Origami Robot

19:35

Anyway, fans are the worst. The wind is also the worst.

MBraedley

@StrixVaria Yeah, mine's less than half that

Frank

I like fans when it's too humid.

Ben Brocka

@StrixVaria surprisingly close to parity

Origami Robot

@StrixVaria 15 up? neat

GnomeSlice

where the fart are my farting glasses

Ben Brocka

19:36

I think I get ~40-50 down and ~6 up now, used to be 25 and 2. They, amazingly, did a free upgrade

Kevin van der Velden

Yeah, that's pretty damn close, I get like a 10:1 ratio -,-

Origami Robot

The most I can possibly get is 5

StrixVaria

@BenBrocka You must be in an at-risk area for Google Fiber.

Ben Brocka

I'd gladly trade half my download for more upload

badp

@GnomeSlice grats for your newfound independence!

Sterno

19:36

Only pirates upload. True fact.

Origami Robot

@StrixVaria I am and they still upped my bill be $10 this month

Ben Brocka

@StrixVaria Doubt it, there's no competition. This is the ONLY cable internet provider here. It's them, DSL (I think which is ALSO one company), dial up or satellite. No fiber period

GnomeSlice

@badp Thanks, although I'm not sure how successful I'm going to be.

badp

@GnomeSlice If I survived, you're going to be fine.

GnomeSlice

I didn't have a sign a lease, so if in like a month's time I'm not doing well I can just go home again

badp

19:37

It takes more than a month to fail forever at housekeeping

MBraedley

@GnomeSlice Are you subletting a room or something?

GnomeSlice

@MBraedley do I need a doctor for that

Sterno

Google image searching "Housekeeping fail" results in a surprising number of scantily clad women.

GnomeSlice

K so the guy rents this rowhouse apartment, and I'm renting a room from him.

@Sterno link pls

MBraedley

@GnomeSlice huh? Not usually.

Kevin van der Velden

19:40

@GnomeSlice renting from someone who is renting

Ben Brocka

I...didn't know that was possible

GnomeSlice

@KevinvanderVelden then yes

MBraedley

@GnomeSlice Which is effectively a sublet if he doesn't actually own the townhouse.

badp

@BenBrocka I'm not sure I see it

Ben Brocka

@badp askvg.com/…

was a real test

Kevin van der Velden

19:41

@badp 120MB less memory, less CPU usage from the look of it

Origami Robot

@BenBrocka Is that just system idle?

Ben Brocka

I figured both would use at least 1GB minimum

badp

Oh.

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot yes just the OS, to show memory usage absolutely required

Origami Robot

Neat

Ben Brocka

19:42

I knew Windows 8 was better than 7 in RAM management but I didn't know that much better (or that 7 could fit in less than 1GB)

badp

Well, I think Windows 8 has been slimmed down to fit into tablet hardware where RAM is at a premium

Ben Brocka

yeah, it definitely works much better in a tablet now. Amazing shutdown/startup times too

I think the Surface Pro 3 cold boots faster than my Kit Kat phone

badp

My tablet takes a full minute to boot

My computer is up in about a tenth of the time

GnomeSlice

My tablet takes forever to boot

when I first got it, it was lightning fast, and after like teh first update it went to shit

it runs out of battery in like a day now whether I use it or not

badp

A day is a fair amount of battery lifetime

MBraedley

19:44

@GnomeSlice How old is it?

badp

What's the screen size?

Ben Brocka

@badp Most Windows 8 boots are hot boots now though

GnomeSlice

this new monitor is weird

that's steam maximized

@MBraedley uh, like 3 years or something

eee.asus.com/en/transformer-300/features

Ben Brocka

3 years is a fair bit of time for a battery. My laptop's...5 or 6 and it lasts 30 minutes now

badp

@GnomeSlice 1397×1048 is a weird resolution to be using

GnomeSlice

19:46

1400 x 1050

for this monitor

and 1366 x 768 for the laptop

badp

The picture is 1397×1048 though?

GnomeSlice

I manually screencapped it

close enough

badp

ah okay

Q: What is the fastest way to get beads?

I am working towards getting the "You Win" badge which has the following requirement: Collect B180000000000T This means I need to get 180,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 beads. My best machine pumps out 128,000,000 beads every second. Given that I am starting around 150,000,000,000 beads, the...

bead-machine

GnomeSlice

it also makes my icons on my desktop display fnuny

Ben Brocka

19:47

is the DPI set to something other than normal?

GnomeSlice

there's like a gap on the right

@BenBrocka ¯(°_o)/¯

Ben Brocka

@GnomeSlice just not enough space for another column I guess

badp

@BenBrocka I don't think so.

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka doesn't look like that when it's just the laptop (that screen)

or when it's other second monitors

Ben Brocka

mirrored or extended? Extended shouldn't mess with anything

badp

19:49

It probably adjusts the icon grid size to fit the external monitor and the laptop suffers as a result

Which of the two is set to be your primary monitor?

Ben Brocka

excellent

MBraedley

Okay, it's close enough to quitting time that I'm saying it's quitting time.

oooo The Sun at Night

@BenBrocka wtf

@badp the lappy

Ben Brocka

It's the new COD, they're riffing off the dog jaw thing from the xbox one reveal

GnomeSlice

oh

Ben Brocka

19:52

nice background btw, I'm using this one at work

GnomeSlice

it cycles

I have hundreds

dozens, anyway

lol and none of them fit the new monitor

Ben Brocka

there are dozens of us

GnomeSlice

perfect fit

Ben Brocka

I should probably do the slideshow thing on the surface since I fonud all these matching minimalist wallpapers

I don't know if I can cycle sets with 1 per monitor on my desktop though

GnomeSlice

wallbase.cc

Wallbase is where it's at, nerd

Kevin van der Velden

GnomeSlice

I hate cycling backgrounds
