8:00 PM
@twobugs Were you one of the folks who plays ToME?
 
also really don't get all the fatty mei fanart
 
@SaintWacko I played it once, I want to try and get into it though
 
@twobugs I found a way to set it up to work perfectly with the touchscreen on my SP3
 
I really want Overwatch, why'd you all have to get it on PC
I want PS4 :(
 
I think it's best you don't take Overwatch fanart seriously, especially right now
 
8:01 PM
@GnomeSlice Why not on PC?
 
@GnomeSlice because we like to actually aim
 
@twobugs Overwatch
 
Because I prefer PS4
I don't actually like using M+k for shooters, controllers are so much more comfortable
 
And we prefer PC :P
 
@GnomeSlice Then use a PS4 controller on PC?
 
8:02 PM
Although the console versions are supposed to be quite nice
 
Then I can't play on the big screen
on my comfy couch
but yeah, I guess...
 
Then get a long HDMI cable?
 
@GnomeSlice hook your pc up to tv screen and plug a controller in
 
I'm not moving my pc, I already have one on my tv
 
Can't the PS4 stream games from the PC?
 
8:02 PM
/r/pcmasterrace
 
I could also just get it on PS4
instead of doing any of that
 
@GnomeSlice You could, but then you can't play with any of us
 
@GnomeSlice get a bluetooth dongle for like 5$ on ebay
 
eh you guys probably wouldn't play with me anyway
 
@Chippies How would that help?
 
8:03 PM
There's some other people I know who have it on PC too, but... eh
 
or a long hdmi cable, whichever it is you're lacking
@SaintWacko use the controller on the couch
 
We can always use more people to play with
@Chippies Ah, the PS4 controller is already wireless
 
Use a mouse and keyboard and actually aim instead of aimbotting! :D
 
My PC is on the second floor and my TV is in the basement
 
@GnomeSlice Steam link!
 
8:04 PM
@SaintWacko it's wireless and connects to bluetooth. If you don't have a bluetooth dongle, you have to have a usb cable for it instead
 
the only shooter I ever played a lot of with M+K was loadout
it was fun, but I also played it on PS4 later too
 
really long HDMI then
:D
 
you guys aren't going to change my mind
I don't get why they didn't just do cross-platform play
 
I don';t know anyone that plays Overwatch on a console and I only know console gamers irl
 
@GnomeSlice It would leave nobody happy
 
8:05 PM
@GnomeSlice Because the people on PC would have a clear advantage
 
It's been done before in other shooters
 
yeah lost planet on 360 had that
and I guess yeah PC players wrecked
 
You can't have good cross-platform shooter without decimating the experience of at least one platform
 
Either the PC players have an advantage, or you have a to put an awful global limiter which slows down the PC players
 
@KevinvanderVelden But I already play S:76 with K+M!
 
8:07 PM
@Yuuki you just have to drop K/M when you press Q
 
I just find k+m really not nice to play with most of the time
especially for shooters
 
Also I wanna play overwatch with people why aren't there people playing overwatch :(
 
Because your time zone is awful
 
loadout was fun but you get so tense playing twitchy stuff in that position
 
@GnomeSlice in what way is it not nice?
 
8:09 PM
@GnomeSlice I don't understand how people can tolerate controllers for shooters. Turning feels like you're stuck in molasses
 
37 secs ago, by GnomeSlice
loadout was fun but you get so tense playing twitchy stuff in that position
@KevinvanderVelden increase sensitivity
but yeah, I know what you mean, you get used to it though
 
@GnomeSlice then you have no precision
 
plus having better movement is nice
 
@GnomeSlice tense in what way? your wrist?
 
@Chippies like entire upper body
 
8:10 PM
@GnomeSlice sounds like a seat/posture issue, not so much a kb/m
 
If playing a FPS is an entire upper body workout, then you're probably doing something wrong
I just have no idea what
 
I don't think I'm explaining this correctly
 
@Unionhawk you have to stretch first, bruh
 
well, intense gaming can create lots of upper body tension, but that's just something you get used to and stop doing as you get better
 
8:11 PM
intense moments are very good exercise for butt cheeks
I haven't had any moments in Overwatch where I'd clench my buttcheeks yet though :P
 
> blasting one reporter as a “sleaze” and another as “a real beauty."
 
it seems to either be pretty easy going or I'm insta-dead with no time for buttclench

Q: Java.net.soccetexception:Host is down for my Minecraft server

SpidesI'm going through a mini beta test and I can get in my server just fine, but other people can't. What do I do?

 
It depends. If you're playing a lower health character there are multiple 1shot things
I.E. Tracer or Zenyatta can get picked off easily
 
Zenyatta doubly so since he doesn't have mobility.
 
8:15 PM
Even 200 health characters should be afraid of a handful of one shots
Well, Roadhog anyway
 
Roadhog is a one man apocalypse.
 
Roadhog is my go-to tank when playing Defense.
 
look at how much more comfortable this man is
 
Mcrees seem to be getting to that point too
 
8:16 PM
@Waterseas McCree's been really strong for awhile.
 
@GnomeSlice I'm quite comfy in my computer chair
 
@Yuuki I like him, but I still like Reinhardt in all situations
 
than when you're hunched over a keyboard*
 
McCree is very strong close range
 
Unless we have tons of flankers
 
8:17 PM
@GnomeSlice couches are really damn uncomfortable compared to a good chair
 
@Unionhawk Reinhardt is much stronger on Attack than Roadhog for sure.
 
Yes
 
> hunched over
 
I like Reinhardt but I really screw up his charge almost every time I use it
 
Oh man, UK tech's idea to get young people to vote is literally a Private Eye cartoon https://t.co/3dbRFh0Y9D
 
8:17 PM
Roadhog is good at picking off flankers and healers
Which is usually attack
 
guys, we have an overwatch chat room
 
I don't believe it
 
@Dragonrage so?
 
what is the point of it if we are going to talk about a ton of overwatch here and not there?
 
Eh, we talk Overwatch a ton both here and there.
 
8:18 PM
Yeah
 
NEVER ENOUGH
 
And there's no other conversation going on here so we can talk about it here
 
@Dragonrage News to me
 
@fredley this is how the brexit vote is going down? as votey mcvoteface?
 

 Overwatch

Chat about the Blizzard FPS Overwatch, wherein Sterno hates Ge...
 
8:19 PM
(I know about the Overwatch chatroom)
 
@twobugs You're not really supposed to use his charge all that often. Let your teammates get a few picks first because his charge is a big gamble.
 
I'm taking a break from it for reasons
 
At least, that's how I see it.
 
@twobugs cooldown after that hanzo spam :p
 
@Yuuki Keep in mind his charge does heavy damage, one-shotting a lot of squishies
 
8:20 PM
Nah, but I don't really want to go into it
 
I had a charge today where I charged a reinhardt and he charged me, that was great :D
 
@Waterseas Yes, but it also creates a lot of distance between you and your team.
 
@twobugs no worries
 
@GodEmperorDune yes
 
user15026
@fredley cracks up I just...what.
 
8:20 PM
@fredley RIP EU
 
We were just both lying on the ground there
 
inb4 WWIII
What with Trump, and EU, and Russia
 
They might not be able to get to you in time and you're not there to keep your Barrier up for their advance.
 
You definitely shouldn't be charging that far
 
RIP in pieces, peace
 
8:21 PM
@fredley yep
 
What would WWIII's theme even been? Besides, roman numerals aren't cool anymore
 
Why would you even want young people to vote?
 
I don't think anyone will let Trump get far enough to start WW3 even if he does get elected
 
It would probably just be World War can it would be a reboot
 
@twobugs doesn't even matter, once the nukes go off
 
8:22 PM
i hope we don't have to fight @fredley, although i have built up a tolerance to your Project Friday weapon
 
@GodEmperorDune sonic warfare
 
@fredley I mean, WWI's theme was defensive alliances, II's theme was "This time... it's personal"
WWIII "I'm gettin' too old for this" ?
That could work
 
@twobugs III's theme is "they're all losers, we're going to win, it will be a fantastic war, we have the best army, terrific army"
 
WWIII - "In retrospect, I regret the way I voted"
 
WWIII - "Look at all the pretty mushroom clouds!"
 
8:23 PM
"I got 99 problems and voting for Trump caused most of them"
 
WWIII - "at least the PC culture isn't a problem anymore"
 
@GodEmperorDune So Trump is supporting consoles?
 
> at least the PC culture isn't a problem anymore
 
@twobugs apparently not
 
Is that a thank-you note to the mods or a thank-you note from the mods?
 
8:25 PM
@Yuuki to the mods
 
that's why he has all the rare pepes
 
@Dragonrage You should probably move the ! then
 
I figured, but it's a bit ambiguous on the face of it.
@KevinvanderVelden Yeah, I know why, but the layout itself is rather ambiguous.
 
8:27 PM
why is this happening on this pc now
 
PC culture strikes again
 
@GnomeSlice what's that disapproval icon?
 
which one, there's 2
 
@GnomeSlice bottom one is @fredley's chat tool, the bookmark bar one
 
8:28 PM
chrome extension you can't get any more
 
err next to the url
:(
 
cc @bridgemods cc @othermods
 
@GnomeSlice You seem curious about mouse & keyboard stuff. :P
 
well we were just talking about it
and by "talking" I mean everyone trying to tell me why M+K is better
 
8:31 PM
@Fluttershy at least he wasn't "researching malware"
 
@GodEmperorDune lol
 
"how to take a screenshot"
 
@Fluttershy THIS ISN'T GOOGLE GRANDPA
 
k wtf
 
i literally had someone ask me how to add google to their apple tv
@GnomeSlice is it @fredley's extension trolling you?
 
8:33 PM
@GodEmperorDune My extension isn't installed, I don't think
 
probably not on this one
 
Mine puts a PorkChat logo in the bottom right
 
@fredley there is a porkchat icon on the bottom
 
I'm an idiot

Oh, @AshleyNunn, I picked up a bunch of candy from the duty free shop in Cancun :D
 
8:34 PM
But he doesn't have More Stars enabled, making him some kind of star-hating monster
 
which one is more stars?
 
user15026
@SaintWacko Fun! What kinds? :)
 
I havent been on this machine in a whie
 
@GnomeSlice The one called (on the settings page) "More Stars"
 
what does it do
 
8:36 PM
@AshleyNunn I got a Fini "Little Mix" which is a bucket of gummies. And some mango-chili chew thingies, and some obleas con cajeta, and LadyWacko got some Kahlua chocolates
 
what is this porkchat you speak of?
 
@Dragonrage Google it
Wait
 
@GnomeSlice adds more stars to the starlist
 
12
Q: More Stars - Userscript that frees up room so you can see more starred messages

SternoSince I've never written a GreaseMonkey script before, I borrowed heavily from this script and basically played around with it until I got what I wanted. So credit to them for helping me get there. More Stars I don't like having my chat window fill the full monitor, but I found that with my pre...

 
Don't
 
user15026
8:37 PM
@SaintWacko That all sounds tasty
 
Oh, I like all the room info
 
@AshleyNunn My sister wanted me to get some Mazapan, but I couldn't find any :(
I just opened up the bucket of gummies
They're delicious
 
I still hate @GnomeSlice for giving it 4/5 stars. Probably because he didn't have More Stars enabled. Monster.
@SaintWacko Marzipan?
 
link me and I'll rate it 5
whatever
 
8:38 PM
@fredley if it was out of 7 stars, i'd vote 5/7, perfect app
 
disabled porkchat, still doing it
 
@fredley Mazapan
 
weird
 
@fredley it says that this is a rebbeca black link
 
@SaintWacko wat
@Dragonrage It's not
That scale
 
8:40 PM
@fredley you should know that i know that it isnt, because i have porkchat installed to get that warning
 
@Dragonrage ...
 
also since mods are no worange, can i make my name blue?
 
@Dragonrage its css, you can do what you want
 
@Dragonrage k
 
Holy fuck talk about quotemining, a "quote" where an elipsis replaces 7 chapters
 
8:43 PM
@KevinvanderVelden wat
 
Man now I'm being pressured to buy Overwatch from people at work too
Y'all are terrible
 
@TimStone doooo iiiiiit
 
@TimStone just tell them it won't work on your pc
 
@TimStone this is a well established fact.
 
8:43 PM
@TimStone Buy Overwatch!

> Darwin actually, if unwittingly, promulgated the charter for all later social Darwinists: “Let the strongest live and the weakest die… . Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows.”
The elipsis was 7 chapters from a book
 
@TimStone I mean, worst case scenario it sits on your hard drive unplayed like 500 Steam games
 
wait... I had a myspace?
@fredley is that going to come up on firefox anytime soon?
 
@AshleyNunn ikr
 
@KevinvanderVelden yes i got it
 
I'm going to Georgia next year
Sounds like a fun place
 
I looked up the full thing
 
@fredley which one?
 
8:48 PM
@GodEmperorDune Not the sweet one
 
@fredley so not the one where you risk being in a country governed by drumpf
 
@KevinvanderVelden Not that one

Q: Help with Minecraft LAN Server on Mac?

AmeliaMy sister got Minecraft yesterday and we're unable to join each others' LAN servers. We're on the same Wi-Fi router, neither of us have firewalls blocking Java and have updated to the most recent version, we're both on the same version of Minecraft, etc. The other troubleshooting articles/questio...

 
@KevinvanderVelden make georgia diamond free again
 
@Sterno Shhhhh
 
8:50 PM
yaaaaaaaaaaawn
 
@Sterno aah! But this will be an unplayed battle.net game, which is rarer
 
-1
A: Civ 5 Hot Seat + Internet Play, is it possible?

B-manRemote Desktop into the computer and all play hotseat.

Disagree this isn't an answer.
 
Pfft, won't be unplayed anyways @KevinvanderVelden
 
@Wipqozn i know exactly what poster means
install and start the game on a windows machine accessible to the internet
 
@Wipqozn agreed with you disagreeing
 
8:52 PM
use some sort of remote login software to connect to the machine and play
to the game, everyone is playing on the same machine, hence hotseat
 
Normally I'd do something stupid like vote it up, but I haven't so...
maturity?
 
nah i'm not going to upvote it, it's too poorly written to be helpful
 
@blakeharrisonakerz hello
 
@blakeharrisonakerz hello there
 
8:57 PM
so this is a chat room to talk about video games?
 
@blakeharrisonakerz among other things, yes
 
and cheese.
 
and hmmmm burgers.
 
8:57 PM
Also the site, also most everything
 
nom nom
 
@djsmiley2k and bacon
 
does this chatroom have rules?
 
DAMNIT I FORGOT TO BUY BACON
 
zomg SO UNGREY
 
8:57 PM
we talk about a lot of video games and stuff. we are the main chat room for gaming.stackexchange
 
I wanted to buy bacon but forgot
 
@blakeharrisonakerz don't be a dick., that's one, I'm sure!! :D
 
@blakeharrisonakerz The main one is don't be a jerk. Also put NSFW stuff behind a warning, if you need to post it at all.
 
@blakeharrisonakerz yeah, don't be an ass, don't post NSFW images (or go to far with the language)
 
i just wanted to know so i know if im allowed to talk about ALL video games
 
8:58 PM
i'm sure theres some, somewhere, which are off limits
 
@blakeharrisonakerz you are allowed to talk about nekopara
 
playing trove with my dad, arms starting to hurt from keyboard
 
but you generally know what's about.
 
table is too high maybe
 
Think of it this way
 
8:59 PM
@GnomeSlice how long have you been playing?
 
idk 20 minutes
 
@blakeharrisonakerz I mean, it'd probably be hard to talk about some hentai game in detail
 
If you had your full name, would you want what you said here about those kind of games to be searchable on google?
 
@GnomeSlice yeah you need to set it up ergonomically
 
@ardaozkal ....
 
8:59 PM
If not, don't post it. This room is google indexed.
 
user15026
@ardaozkal Some people wouldn't care, that's not the best metric for appropriateness
 
it should definitely not hurt after that short of a playtime
 
concidering some of the things YOU'VE said, that's not a very good example XD
 
@ardaozkal \o
