I'm not a huge fan of pork, but that still sounds quite tasty.

Fuck, I spent all that time unlocking the Bounty Hunter Skin in Dungeon Defenders... and I have to unlock it AGAIN to use it on the ranked servers?

I PAID FOR THIS SHIT

FAE

@AshleyNunn I'm very happy to get Dear Esther's soundtrack.

user15026

@FAE THat's a game I know not much about.

FAE

@AshleyNunn I did a recommendation for it on Steam, sums up my thoughts pretty well on it.

I don't think there's anything you'd have issues with in it at all. You mostly just walk around.

@Wipqozn I lack the money.

user15026

@FAE That I can do. I am good at games that just require walking.

FAE

@AshleyNunn It's rather short, but it left me with a rather indescribable feeling after I finished it.

user15026

@FAE I actually like shorter games - with my issues with attention span and short term memory, I like games that aren't super long and intense, if that makes sense?

Wipqozn

It's widely considered amazing by everyone I don't hate.

user15026

@Wipqozn Yeah, I do remember hearing good things about it when people I know were playing it.

FAE

12:31 AM

@AshleyNunn I went rather slowly through it and still topped out at like 2, 2.5 hours of gameplay or so.

So yeah, very short, but very worth it, IMO.

user15026

@FAE For a PC game, that is oddly okay by me.

user15026

(I have a shorter attention span for PC/console than I do handheld, for some reason)

They officially recommend using composite cables here: http://rocksmith.ubi.com/rocksmith/en-US/setup/index.aspx Furthermore they recommend never using HDMI as the primary sound source. What's the reason for this? I always assumed HDMI would be the best since it is the latest technology

user15026

@FAE I forget about stuff like that, like how theoretically if I had a car, my insurance would have dropped this summer when I turned 25.

FAE

@AshleyNunn I used to think of my age in City of Heroes levels sometimes. At even numbers, you get new powers, at odd ones, you just get slots to augment those powers (this is how it goes til you hit 30, then the pattern changes a bit). So last year was just a slot year, but this year was a power year!

@AshleyNunn I really like it for visualizing the limited amount of mental energy one has.

Raven Dreamer

murdereyes at @FAE

Wipqozn

@InvaderSkoodge You have four kinds of skills. Weapon (slots 1-5), Healing (slot 6), Utility (slot 7-9) and Elite (slot 0). You unlock weapon skills by using the weapon. Healing skills are unlocked with skill points, and don't have a level requirement. You unlock the Utility and Elite skills with skills points, but utility doesn't unlock until level 5 and elite until level 30.

Invader Skoodge

@Wipqozn This does not account for the skills I have on F1 and F2.

Necromancers for example, only have F1.

@AshleyNunn I might know what's causing the issue. EZProxy or something similar is rewriting the JavaScript in the page that fetches the Google Analytics JavaScript. You should tell whomever manages the proxy to not redirect "google-analytics.com", because it's probably affecting the "gaJsHost" in the script... rendering it something like proxy.lib.uwaterloo.cagoogle-analytics.com than something like ssl.google-analytics.com

Krazer

@AshleyNunn I've ran into this issue in the past with my school's library gateway software

We used EZProxy. What worked was adding the line "NeverProxy google-analytics.com" to our configuration file and that actually stops the rewriting of the var gaJsHost=" line. I'm not sure how that particular configuration as that particular effect. The JavaScript line is rewritten and then the new value of gaJsHost is applied in the document.write line. It is only at the execution of the document.write line that a connection with google-analytics.com would be apparent.

user15026

@Krazer Hm. I wonder who I have to poke to get them to do that.

@AshleyNunn Who manages the technical end of your library resources?

Nowhere was in mentioned that this was a 1-day sale, but the price jumped $7.

Here's an explaination to pass on, the lines in question are:

var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));

What happened was that the first line get rewritten by EZProxy as:

var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl.proxy.lib.uwaterloo.ca" : "http://www.proxy.lib.uwaterloo.ca");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%…

Q: At what point does a question become a list, and are lists really that bad?

I was looking over some of the old closed questions, and trying to rephrase them so that they can be more objectively answered. I received a comment that the edit would still lead to a list of answers, which isn't a good fit for the site? 1) Can someone point me to a meta discussion that explain...

@Powerlord Yep, so at least he's taking it more seriously than his comment indicated.

So should I link some of Grace's treatises on list questions?

Q: Which Dominion expansion playes best with two players?

I'm looking at picking up my first expansion for Dominion. I play primarily with 2 players (total). Which of the expansions would play best with two players, and why? (For example, a card like Tournament gets worse with more players, while a card like Pirate Ship gets better with more players....

@bwarner, all answers are lists (of one). This wouldn't be a very long list, as ther are only a handful of expansions. — user1873 3 hours ago

Also, I don't feel like associating an account on another SE site just to crash their meta, so someone else please explain the difference between a list of three things and an unbound list to this guy? Thanks.

I have to mentally stop analyzing grammar in country songs. "I never had no one that I could count on/I have been let down so many times"....don't think that means what you think it means, Mr. Tim McGraw.

@AshleyNunn hahaha

user15026

@FAE Country musicians are not good at grammar, I am noticing.

@AshleyNunn No, no they are not

I like the genre, but the academic in me is twitching!

I don't listen to much country anymore at all

When I was a little kid, I did, the pop-country stuff that was popular then, like Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Brooks and Dunn, countless others.

user15026

I didn't for a long while, but I am getting into it more now again. Which always makes my mother laugh, as my two genres I like most are varrious shades of metal, and country.

user15026

@FAE Yeah, I grew up on that and the reallllly old classic stuff.

On my server I have a quiz which you need to take before you can go to most of the areas, build etc... However, sometimes people try to cheat by going with friends into there.

Q: Whilst shooting e-tech guns, the muzzle opens

I noticed that when you fire e-tech guns, as you continue to unload, the muzzle opens up. Is this indication of anything? Added bonus perhaps? Or is it purely aesthetic design.
