@Sterno Depends entirely on your GPU, if you have a reasonably current high-end one, on PC. If not, on PS4. I'd play it with a controller in any case, even on PC
 
I like to pretend my graphics card is still relevant, but it's not.
It's from 2011 :(
 
What the fuck
 
I think Elite Dangerous made smoke come out
 
Ha
Nice
I should upgrade. It chugs on my mobile card.
Especially in areas with tons of things (rings etc where it has to render asteroids)
 
2:03 PM
@Sterno You could get a new one that has witcher 3 included.
 
Borderlands nearly caught my computer on fire I think
 
You guys are making me look bad. I get upset if I can't play a game at 1080p, high settings, 60fps
 
@5pike THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE
 
320 x 200 or GTFO.
 
@originaluser I am happy if I don't set myself on fire while playing at low settings (but always, always at recommended resolution (1080p or 900p, depending on the monitor))
(laptop is 900 external is 1080)
Seriously though, like 10 frames while looking at asteroids in rings. It's pretty bad.
Looking out into space I'm fine
 
2:08 PM
Have kids. Then even if you have the money for a new video card, you don't have the time to buy and install one.
And yes, I realize that literally takes minutes.
 
I don't have a computer worth upgrading. I'm probably going to go with a super fancy setup over the summer and during the 2015-2016 academic year

Q: Control Games running on Windows over network (and use ESC key)

MichaelI have one (Windows 8.1) PC set up for gaming only, and I can control that for the most part using VNC from Linux. The problem is however that controling the mouse in games (Tested using Dragon Age: Origins and Deus Ex: Human Revolution) moves the mouse in 'blocks'. Instead of smoothly moving the...

 
I should email UDIT to see if I can even do what I want to do
But basically I want a desktop for home, laptop for remote desktop for class.
 
Nah, you should just do it and then if it doesn't work keep doing it until you break the network agreement and get it to work.
 
I usually do a nice desktop build every few years and have a cheap laptop I run ubuntu on for travel
 
2:10 PM
University IT departments are the worst and should not be trusted.
 
@TimStone Well yes I agree
I have inside men I think?
 
:O
 
I'm not sure. I don't think they work for IT anymore.
But we have the SGA president so it's fine
We used to have an in-man in public safety
Actually... there's bound to be one working in IT.
 
What you really need is an alumni. They really treat you differently once you give them some money that's less than what you were giving them for tuition for some reason.
 
Being an eagle scout fraternity gives us an advantage in that they trust us with stuff
And things
But mostly stuff
It lets us get away with stuff like "all student organizations must do finances through the student union and carry a zero balance" "how about we have a bank account with a nonzero balance and you just pretend we don't"
 
2:15 PM
Thumbs up: I think I've finally convinced Google to stop showing me Asian dating site ads on YouTube.
Thumbs down: They've been replaced with Muslim dating site ads.
 
What the hell?
 
@MBraedley Seems like google is convinced you really desperatedly need a date.
 
I usually get goddamn Kate Upton
 
I mean she's good looking and all, but in the end I think I prefer the Asian dating ads.
 
I usually only browse youtube in incognito mode because it's really fun to try and manipulate the ads
 
2:18 PM
*Appearance of actual product may vary
 
HamStare @MadMAxJr
 
I've seen some real good dating site ads, though
There's one (I think it's an asian dating site) where the girl just has this dead eyed stare
like "This is what my life has come to. I've failed."
 
I can already see the registration template: "Who is the only God and what's his prophet's name?"
 
Now entering: a really weird road oh god
 
@MartinSojka Answer both answer with "I am".
 
2:21 PM
It beats the Evony ads, although the progression of those was hilarious
and the Plants vs Zombies takeoff of them
 
Sidebar ads are fuct

Q: How can I invert the X and Y axis for the camera controls on Shadow of Mordor?

Mark GabrielI find it very very weird and hard for me to not be able to change the X and Y axis settings. I'm used to inverting both, but I don't think there are any settings in-game for this.

 
My ads tend to be whatever toys I was looking at on Amazon.
 
Still have this awesome screen shot from last year.
 
@MartinSojka That ad is all kinds of horrible.
 
2:26 PM
Free MMOs tend to be fuct too yes
Are often fuct anyway
Not always
But alot of times
 
IIRC, it's for a cheap Chinese MMO rip-off of cheap Korean MMOs.
 
hits @Unionhawk with a dictionary
 
I know what I did
 
@MartinSojka why are they so proud of a sausage fest game?
 
Evony was great because from what I remember it was a really bad web based version of Civ 3 with a ton stole assets
 
2:27 PM
@Unionhawk I know you knew. Doesn't make it any better.
 
Yes it does
 
it was free to play, but of course pay to win
 
@Unionhawk Does not.
 
Does.
 
and they would sometimes mysteriously "lose" your transactions. No refunds!
 
2:28 PM
Not.
 
Yes.
 
No.
(And that's enough)
 
If I said "alot of times" ignorant of the fact that "alot" is not a word, that would be worse than me making an alot joke
 
i declare @Arperum the winner, because metal
 
I demand a recount
 
2:29 PM
i declare @Unionhawk the loser because @Unionhawk
 
@Unionhawk Supreme Court overrules.
 
@Yuuki FUCK
DAMN YOU FLORIDA
 
WHERE ARE YOUR HANGING CHADS NOW?
 
@JasonBerkan That's my problem, I don't look at Amazon enough.
 
@GodEmperorDune Nowhere because electronic ballots
 
2:30 PM
Hashtag topical 15 years ago!
Oh god, I'm so f--kin' old.
 
Man, it really was 15 years ago
Wow.
 
i made a joke like that back when it was happening, referencing florida and chad.... no one got it
 
Well, more like 14 and a half, but still.
 
STOP REMINDING ME THAT I'M OLD, UNIVERSE!
 
I only have ads enabled on YouTube and Twitch, and I think I have targeted ad opt-outs enabled (obviously they can and will play game ads on Twitch and YouTube videos in category:games)
Don't know
Don't usually care
 
2:31 PM
its like i was the only person in my highschool staying current on the election
 
@Yuuki cc @JasonBerkan
 
@Yuuki at least you're not @sternold
 
@GodEmperorDune Beats me. I'd have understood it if they advertised the game with half-naked hunks ...
 
@Yuuki I got married 13 years ago, so :P
I have a son, who in 3.5 years, can participate in this site. But he'll just ask crappy Clash of Clans questions.
 
@GodEmperorDune Kids typically don't follow politics.
 
2:33 PM
And when they do they really don't and they're just regurgitating politics
 
@Yuuki it was like front page news for a month!
 
Or saying "vote for ron paul"
 
@GodEmperorDune Kids typically don't read newspapers.
 
@Yuuki fair enough
 
Hell, I was kinda rooting for Bush in 2000 because I knew nothing about the actual issues and only knew that he was my governor.
I am now appalled how little I knew about things.
 
2:34 PM
Meh
 
i remember one person was like "well he's the president so we should support him in everything" ...
 
I mean
To an extent
 
"Meh" describes my general feelings towards American politics. I just feel very burnt out and frustrated with how things are right now.
 
Nobody says "I hope this guy fucks up" when the president is newly elected, and if they do then they're not paying attention
 
i guess i'm just big on dissent
 
2:36 PM
@Unionhawk If only they actually did that. Current presidential elections in Poland, "kids" (young adults) mostly voted for the rock singer Paweł Kukiz, whose plan mostly consisted of being against the establishment ... and got him over 20% of all votes, scaring the crap out of every established politician.
 
@MartinSojka i could see this happening if kanye tried to run or something
 
It probably wouldn't work for Kayne but Macklemore could pull it off I think
Or, heaven forbid, Nickleback.
 
0
Q: How should i attack this base?

Ace00 Im a townhall 8 but this base looks pretty difficult. I have level 3 dragons and valkyrie.

 
@MartinSojka I mean, some of the establishment are terribad but don't have anyone running against them here
 
@Yuuki that's a very unheard of brand of gourmet parmigiano obviously
 
2:38 PM
but kanye seems more of the "i'm qualified to be president because reasons" type, i don't sense that kind of hubris from macklemore
 
(Hi I live in the district that elects John Boehner, current speaker of the house, and nobody else because nobody can even think about running against him)
Though, newness doesn't correlate to goodness necessarily I suppose
Iunno
 
@Unionhawk i'm surprised that he doesn't get primaried by a tea partier
 
It's too early to think about voting for shit
 
that's what happened to someone else on house leadership last election
 
What's that? Primaries and state level elections are happening in some states?
Goddammit
 
2:42 PM
@GodEmperorDune I'm in Cantor's former district, was surprised this happened.
 
@Yuuki I don't believe you.
This isn't real.
 
I had to type "<" and my fingers immediately followed it with a 3. What have I become.
 
Stop it.
 
2016: Year of Bowser???
 
2:44 PM
> Bowser “will oversee a variety of sales-related functions, including Sales, In-store Merchandising, Retail Strategy and Retail Marketing. He will play a key role in driving national sales strategies to generate demand and achieve revenue objectives across all of Nintendo’s product lines.” He’ll also “manage Nintendo’s key retail customer relationships and will oversee retail marketing for the Nintendo World store in New York.”
 
@Sconibulus everyone was
 
His job description better include kidnapping princesses.
 
That man had better have theme music in his office or something
 
It's not like the Polish elections are any less ridiculous. The candidates include the current president, who thought he didn't need to life a finger, much less talk to the common people, to be reëlected (he got second anyway, but will likely lose the next round), a guy who is openly for the reintroduction of the monarchy (and still somehow managed to get 1.1% of all votes) and a woman who's whole campaign seemed to consist of her pointing out that she's a woman (didn't help her).

That was fast.
 
2:46 PM
Like, Bowser's Castle theme from Mario Kart: Super Circuit or something
 
> Doug Bowser (no relation to the King Koopa and Mario’s longtime nemesis)
 
(the music in that game was the shit)
 
pr people are so lame
 
Dude, like, they should have actually just played this off like they hired actually Bowser as VP sales
 
@Yuuki This is my job, but he's hidden the axe so we can't take the bridge out from under him.
 
2:49 PM
Great. Nice work @Uni. Now I have this music in my head forever
Suffer with me
 
@Unionhawk I can't. I'm listening to Amon Amarth.
 
SUFFER
 
@Unionhawk its not that bad actually
 
SUFFERING IS MANDATORY
 
so im not suffering
 
2:51 PM
@GodEmperorDune It's really good but it's stuck in my head
 
Let's counter it with another ear worm ...
 
I bought Mario Kart 7 last night, and Bowser Castle 1 is in I think (as in it could be 1-4 not sure)
(yes 7 because I don't have a Wii U)
(YET)
 
The Nintendo Wii U is the greatest video game console ever created.
 
actually i have "just what i needed" by the cars stuck in my head because of an end credits sequence in a marvel one shot i watched 2 weeks ago
 
@GodEmperorDune ...
 
I hate you

Q: How do I get Ascendant Shards & Ascendant Energy?

plus every time i listen to it i remember all those circuit city commercials using it
 
RIP Circuit City
RIP @OrigamiRobot
 
Implementing functionality that is already there is the best. All I needed to do was change "600" into "200" and "800" into "150" on some other page.
 
3:00 PM
Aw geez. Time for my performance review. There's only so many ways to write "I'm an incompetent moron" so the self-review is going to be tough
 
@originaluser Is there a requirement for self deprecation?
 
Not that I'm aware of :P I just feel somewhat frustrated in my job because I'm working on a few things that I've never really done before
A new API with a reputation for bugginess, a new JS framework, and I'm working on UI design too and I don't really have any training in that
 
@originaluser You could always go with "worse than @Wipqozn", though that's a little extreme.

Q: Create a new tag for Witcher wild Hunt and make witcher 3 a synonym.

Joshua Aslan SmithThe Witcher 3 eventually underwent a name change and released as The Witcher: Wild Hunt. I propose making this the de-facto tag and making the current the-witcher-3 tag a synonym. I would attempt to do so myself but I do not have the rep on gaming.se to do so.

 
Are we talking about catchy songs
 
@Yuuki GTA V?
 
Man, I really want to get back into Euro Truck Sim
 
@PrivatePansy Yeah. Crazy vehicle stunts is almost always GTA nowadays, I think.
 
@Unionhawk bowsers castle office music would be the shit
Badass level 11
Although I guess bowser wasnt actually in SMW2
Er SMW
 
He was in SMW2 (I was about to say he wasn't but he was)
And wait, yes he was I thought?
Yeah, final boss of SMW is Bowser in a clown copter
 
3:19 PM
Idk, which area is that song actually from?
I haven't played that game in a long time, is that the airship theme or something?
 
Dunno
 
It's just my go-to bowser remix
 
2+ months of applying for different jobs, I finally got an email reply! It said "Sorry this is only a summer student position." FUCK
at least they replied
 
> I was inspired to make this ReMix after listening to somebody else's arrangement of the same theme, the Castle from Super Mario World. Like many others I've been a huge fan of the series' music for some time, but that particular theme is one of the most dark and exciting songs in any of the games, in my opinion. Even moreso than Bowser in Super Mario 64.
@Unionhawk
Castle theme
Pretty badass
 
L>a super cheap university or something, just so I can get a student status and get jobs, because it seems getting a job is much easier if you're a student, because... because fuck you, that's why
 
3:23 PM
I love Zircon
 
@Chippies Aw. Hope you find something soon. I just had to do the shotgun approach
 
Sadly companies don't like it when you charge into their office, find an empty desk, and declare it yours.
 
Dibs
 
@originaluser I have applied to pretty much every non-fast food place in the area, even Walmart doesn't want me
 
Oaks us back to world I go
 
3:24 PM
@Chippies Ouch.
 
I really really don't want to do fast-food, so I will soon have to go give out resumes to the places I've already applied to
every time they throw my resumes in the resume bin, my chances increase, right? That's how it works, RIGHT?!
oh well /endrant
 
@Chippies Kind of. Sometimes it is all about timing - your resume arriving at the same time they have someone quit, so they need an employee.
 
FATAL SYSTEM ERROR: Unexpected /endrant tag. The Bridge will now self destruct.
 
@GnomeSlice that game is a good game would recommend (i forgot the name)
 
@JasonBerkan I've applied to places that were actually hiring people. They didn't reply either.
 
3:28 PM
That is rough.
 
@JasonBerkan So you're saying he should get a guy fired and then submit his resume?
 
I heard though that this is a bad time for job searching, even brother in-law, who has plenty of work experience, finished his bachelor in business-something had trouble finding a job, walmart didn't want him either
not to mention all the students and school kids being hired for the tax benefits or whatever the companies get
 
Well, Atlantic Canada does have some economic issues. There are a heck of a lot of kids from that region out here working on the oil fields.
And now that work is shrinking.

Q: Retract Suggested Edits

pinckermanIs there a way to retract a previously rejected/accepted Suggested Edit? Something like Close Votes and Reopen Votes, for example. Is this possible?

 
@Unionhawk One day a mod will actually destruct the Bridge.
 
And on that day an Escape Pod will be launched for those few survivors
 
And we will build up an army, and return to take back what is ours
 
@StrixVaria That already happened
 
And we had to launch the Escape Pod once to escape a hostile Bridge takeover
Well, not a hostile takeover
 
3:57 PM
Yes
 
But an annoying takeover
 
I wouldn't call it nonhostile per se
I mean
Let's be honest

Reverifying...

Okay
Different URL
Different video title
Same audio

Yeah, i know what that is, not clicking. :p

5:12 PM
it's not really system of a down though
 
Don't think about it too hard
Or at all
Just think about the fact that copyright infringement is not intended
This is actually a dispute for a copyright claim (to which YouTube probably just tells you "lolno this is a valid copyright claim it doesn't matter if copyright infringement is not intended")
 
There's a goddamn plant inside that computer

Q: Candy Crush Jelly Fish

MayaWhen the jelly fish appears in the game what are you supposed to tap to get the extra points? Do you tap the fish swimming by? Or do you tap the colored candy?

 
@Chippies what if its water cooled?
 
@GodEmperorDune Then don't forget to water your PC once every couple of days to keep it cool and the plants growing well
Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for what happens if you try watering your PC
 
5:38 PM
@Chippies Also the roots
 
@SaintWacko the roots, the roots, the roots are on fire...
 
@SaintWacko well, I assume (if it was a real plant) there would be a pot hidden inside the case, so the roots shouldn't be an issue
@GodEmperorDune I... don't think... that's how it goes...
Reminded me of this song though. Haven't heard it in a long time...
 
@Chippies Unless it was a tropical plant!
 
What if it was a cactus!
Checkmate @Chippies
 
@SaintWacko I don't have much plant experience. Why is that?
@Unionhawk Fact of the day: Cactus' require watering as well
 
5:42 PM
@Chippies Erm. Because it's hot in the tropics
 
But it wouldn't be fried
 
@SaintWacko oh I thought you were talking about the pot
just noticed which message you replied to
 
gg @Chippies
 
still though, a gaming PC at full load, even well cooled would generate well above 40 degrees celsius inside the case (assuming it's closed)
and by that I mean probably 50-60C
I think the only way to know for sure is if one of you puts a tropical plant or a cactus inside your PC for couple of months and then report the results
 
Plus I'm pretty sure cacti cause a +5C local temperature effect
 
5:46 PM
@Unionhawk they heat the air around them? What?
 
It's like an aura of desert
 
how does that work?
 
It's science
Don't ask questions
@Uni never makes shit up
 
@Unionhawk You said it's science, not religion
 
...
u wot
 
5:47 PM
Cactus. Uncommon quality. +1 thorns, +1 heat
 
I bet I'll get flagged for that, won't I
then again, I'm not @GnomeSlice, so maybe I'll get a free pass
 
Meh probably not
 
was it @gnomeslice who got banned for making fun of himself?
or was that @ori?
 
That was probably @OrigamiRobot
 
@Sconibulus he gets banned for everything, I think so
 
5:49 PM
@Origami got banned for stupid shit all the time
Like, never anything sensible, stuff like "FUCK THAT GUY" where "that guy" was himself
 
@Unionhawk I think that was @Gnome (or both maybe?)
 
@Chippies Possibly too, but I distinctly remember the paper robot being banned for that.
He also changed his name to Gnomeslice and made fun of himself and got banned
 
Eh, maybe Gnome didn't get banned for that then
 
@GnomeSlice gets flagged for stupid shit, but @Origami got flagged for absurdly stupid shit
Only the stupidest
And it's actually pretty funny if you think about it
But no, just like lack of context can cause erroneous validations, it can also cause invalidations
So you won't be banned for that
Even if someone cares to flag
