(So long as I could drag along a priest that I could talk into being my mind-control buffbot during trash anyway.)
 
mmmh
all this WoW talk
so close...
 
@kalina No! Resist!
This is nostalgiac wow talk about things that aren't there anymore!
None of these things are fun now!
^ New Anamanaguchi video
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Too bad the actual areas sucked.
 
@Powerlord It's not like I play WoW for the graphics anyway.
 
Arg, I can't use my macro keys to toggle OBS recording. WHY NOT!?
 
12:11 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I wasn't referring to just the graphics, but also the zone layouts and quest progression.
Also, last episode of the current Guild season.
 
Oh, and @RonanForman, I'm killing Kerbals for science tonight
 
Somebody has created the Lotto Party. People sign up for it and those who sign up get randomly selected for however seats in the parliament the party can win.
It does not compute. I have no words.
 
@badp People bet on any outcome that can be influenced by chaos
Even if that wager means being a parliamentarian.
 
@powerlord firmly disagree.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz First music video, actually. New album coming too

Q: Paarthurnax wont die

eraser4602I conpleted the main quest line, and now have to kill paarthurnax for the blades. He's on the usual wall, I can talk to him, but his health won't fall below zero, as if he's still a quest character. Wtf, why won't he die. I'm playing on xbox

Q: Can Beauty be raised or measured in Black/White, other than by Feebas' evolution?

Jonathan DrainPrior to Pokémon Black/White, Feebas evolved if its Beauty was high enough. According to Bulbapedia, a Feebas with sufficient Beauty traded from an earlier game will still evolve in Black/White. Other than this, is there any way in Pokémon Black/White or Black/White 2 to change or measure a Poké...

 
I think I found the limit for the 1 Kerbal pod...
Or not
 
Is it 1?
 
btw, if you guys haven't seen Space Janitors, its hilarious
 
@BenBrocka Sorry, impact speed limit
@Powerlord I did enjoy today's episode
 
@MBraedley One more episode and season 1 recap will be done... and iirc season 2 is supposed to start after that.
 
12:23 AM
@Powerlord Season two is already showing on Geek and Sundry
I never bothered to go back and watch season 1
 
@MBraedley Today's episode on Geek and Sundry is Season 1, episode 7
 
@Powerlord Don't think so
 
@MBraedley I'm watching it now, it's the same episode 7 that was on Escapist last summer.
You don't recall me quoting the "massive space hand" quote?
 
@Powerlord Okay then, you're right. I must have misunderstood at the beginning.
 
Also, incoming TF2 update
 
12:29 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's probably because there's not much of a professional scene for any game that involves beating an AI. =p
 
TF2 updated
MvM tournament fix, Festive weapons now apply to item sets (i.e. Fish), Tomislav firing sound finally fixed.
Genuine-quality items and Festive items can now be listed in the Steam market.
 
@BenBrocka @AshleyNunn @Others
Pokemon Generation 6 Announced
 
@RavenDreamer Didn't that happen like this morning?
 
slowpoke.jpg
 
@Powerlord I've been at work :/
 
12:35 AM
@RavenDreamer I swear I read about it before I left for work
 
Clearly you should quit work and start being a full time pokemon-news-reader
 
@BenBrocka I read a general gaming news site in the morning before work.
 
@Powerlord 6 AM EST
 
Hmm, TF2 schema tracker is out of date... I was trying to see what the new promos were.
 
12:38 AM
I heard on the twitternets
 
I forgot the url to the item schema directly and I also forgot my Valve API key
 
WTF? OBS doesn't want to record KSP video any more.
 
Just Engineer promos this time? I assume they're a set of some sort, since it's two Miscs and a hat.
 
Fixed it, one of the DLLs was borked
 
12:49 AM
@Ullallulloo Yeesh, already? I can't even get TF2 to update.
 
zzz
 
@Powerlord Not taken by me, but yeah, I guess.
 
I wonder why the update is 181MB... doesn't look any large changes.
 
I guess they're for this: store.steampowered.com/app/221810
 
I'd better have them then, seeing as how I donated to that a while ago.
 
1:01 AM
 
Woo, science complete!
 
I might buy a UPS
 
@kalina I've heard good things about APC UPSes
 
@kalina I bought a FedEx myself.
 
@Ullallulloo Are you satisfied with it? I was thinking of upgrading from my DHL.
 
1:16 AM
@kalina The shipping company?
 
@RavenDreamer no
power supply
to counter the random multiple power cuts earlier
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm not ashamed to admit I looked at the first page and closed the tab

Why does everyone seems to compare my head with fruit? Purple haired - randomly get called a grape. Blue - get called a blueberry. Pink - strawberry.
 
user15026
So right now is firmly blueberry territory.
 
@AshleyNunn because non-naturalistic colors freak people out.
 
user15026
@lesspop this is true. But why fruit?
 
@AshleyNunn Fruit's the most common and easily recognizable things in those colors.
 
They're secretly just hoping you'll make fruit-flavoured cupcakes.
 
user15026
1:45 AM
@timstone Mmmmm, blueberry cupcakes.
 
user15026
@Ullallulloo I guess that would make sense!
 
I guess technically in that case they should be muffins, but still.
 
user15026
Psh, no, blueberry pound cake with whipped cream frosting. Totally cupcakes.
 
...Yeah, okay, I'm sold. :P
 
user15026
@timstone grins I can figure out a cupcake for anything.
 
1:48 AM

@RonanForman if you're still up, I've updated my answer with !!SCIENCE!!

Q: Compatibility and performance of nvidia 620 and 630?

zShellIs the 620 enough to run TF2 at 1080 all maxed out? I know its not a demanding game but thats a lowend GPU so you never know. And what about compatibility? any issues? something I should know about nvidia on ubuntu?

 
@Ullallulloo How?
 
@Ullallulloo Well, that's interesting.

Q: Free Mass Effect 2 DLC?

KecoeyWhen I purchased Mass Effect 2 for the PS3 brand new, I entered the Cerberus Network code and got all the DLC that comes with it. I played through the game once maybe, then decided to start a new game. When I started the new game, I went through the comic book story at the beginning that allow...

Q: The Binding of isaac. Did not die got weird message instead. explanation?

KalWhile playing the binding of isaac, I should have died when fighting Monstro II but instead i got a message on a blue screen saying (i think) "Today is a bad day to have a castle" and it gave me half a heart back and changed isaac into a demon for about 5 seconds. Is that normal, and if it is wh...

@ktash maroon is a weird word!
 
Whadda maroon!
 
@AshleyNunn I was going to go with chartreuse, but I had no idea how to spell it lol
 
@Ktash Like a cherry?

I'm having such a hard time not responding to the people who say Adobe should have given away CS2 for free...

Q: Can you buy Wii U downloadable titles without a Wii U?

Ben BrockaWith the Playstation Store I believe you can actually purchase PSN titles from your PC for the PSP (and possibly PS3? I forget). I've googled but I can't quite tell if there's such a service for the Wii U store. There's a Wii U downloadable title I'd like, as it's on sale, but I don't have a Wii...

 
3:36 AM
Also, I'm going to assume there is interest in doing a charity event, and move forward with trying to plan it

Q: What type of charity event should we run?

KtashSince people are in favor of doing a charity event, let's decide what we should do. If you have a suggestion, please provide an answer with the following details so that people can vote on things: What is the basic premise of your event? Is this an online event, or an event at a specific locati...

 
God dammit, the boss battles in Deus Ex:HR are such bullshit that I actually ragequit a single-player game over it.
 
please go suggest some ideas for charity events if you have any
 
I'm a stealth build with no heavy weapons and no defensive upgrades oh and THIS FIGHT TAKES AWAY ALL YOUR AUGMENTS ANYWAY SO I'M TOTALLY F*CKED.
I wish there was somebody I could phone and yell at.
 
Hey, do any of you guys play Conclave? I could use some party members. :)
@Ullallulloo You play it, right?
 
So, I had to go to the store to buy this book and they charge full price for it. If I didn't have a $25 gift card, I would have just bought it from Amazon, seeing as how Amazon is selling it $15 cheaper.
 
3:56 AM
@PicnicButton I'm in!
 
@Fluttershy :D
Anyone else? :)
 
> "We'll come out with our own and we'll sell it to consumers by ourselves. That'll be a Linux box," Newell told The Verge. "If you want to install Windows you can. We're not going to make it hard. This is not some locked box by any stretch of the imagination."
So, Valve is going to release their own Steam box in addition to the one(s) announced by Xi3
 
Someone play Conclave with us!

Already took care of it, @Lazers, no need to worry
 
user15026
4:06 AM
@ktash maybe @lazers likes to worry.
 
Why are ideas so hard.
 
@GnomeSlice I don't know, but you should come up with some for our charity :)
 
@Ktash I'm a student, I can't do charity.
Unless the charity is to me.
 
@GnomeSlice Genius may be 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration, but the 1% is the hard part.

@GnomeSlice Well, even if you can't donate, you can always participate and promote :)
 
@Brant wat
 
@GnomeSlice clean up your language on the comment please
 
Fine
 
user15026
@ktash what colour is chartreuse anyhow?
 
@Fluttershy I'd love to, but I'm going to be too busy with school.
I'll just get you down, man.
 
user15026
For some reason in my head it is more of a red... Weird.
 
@AshleyNunn I always picture it as red even though I know it isn't
I don't know why
 
user15026
It just sounds like a red word!
 
It does
 
4:40 AM
I used to think "crimson" was blue.
I've always known chartreuse, though, because that's a standard color for fishing lures.
Which is a weird reason to know it, since I hate fishing.
 
@StrixVaria :(
Fishing is awesome.
One of the two reasons I will voluntarily get up early.
 
@StrixVaria I've always known it was red because blood.
 
@Ullallulloo I heard the phrase "crimson tide" and, being young, didn't associate that with blood yet.
"Water is blue, so crimson must be a shade of blue."
 
The IndieRoyale Replay Bundle is full of awesome games, and you guys should get it.
 
@AshleyNunn chartreuse is #7FFF00 :D

Q: who can tell me where is San Francisco

Xitcod13I want to travel to San Francisco. Unfortunately it's been a long time and I forgot where it is and people in other towns don't want to tell me. I have asked for directions and got plenty, but none of them to that great city. My question is in what cities can I find out how to get to San Francisc...

 
@Ktash That is a grasshopper...
 
@OrigamiRobot But it makes cricket noises, so it's all ok ;)
 
@Ktash Grasshoppers make grasshopper noises.
 
That sounds like something a robot would say
 
5:13 AM
@StrixVaria Well there's always the old theory about ancient greek colorblindness.
@OrigamiRob go do something in Conclave you're holding us up.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I was waiting for the shark so he wouldn't whine about me getting in his way.
Then I forgot.
 
@OrigamiRobot Shark did his thing.
Also, I'd suggest staying put anyway.
Everything will come to us in a round.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Man, I don't like staying put.
 
@OrigamiRobot Fine then. No Inspiration for you.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I can move forward 1
 
5:17 AM
@OrigamiRobot You could. but if you don't move at all, a mob will move into melee range of you and you can hit it with a minor action as well as a major.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz They did anyway.
NOW INSPIRE ME
 
@OrigamiRobot You're inspired.
Now kill shit.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Dead rat.
 
@OrigamiRobot Yay.
 
Telling Blow is so good.

Q: Skyrim PC, can mouse walking/running be enabled?

Zaaxs88I would like to enable mouse walking (like Diablo III) in the PC game Skyrim. Is this possible.

@AshleyNunn I find it's usually the other way around.
I'm not looking forward to packing up everything and moving later this year.

Q: Does killing key targets counts as kills?

jonleechI am asking this as there is an achievement in Dishonored that is called Clean Hands, the question is does killing key targets count? As sometimes there is no choice in the Lady Boyle mission (maybe I haven't found a way yet) I am doing a second playthrough to get the other achievements.

Q: DOTA2 Faceless Void

I wish somebody in this company would learn how to do their job
I feel lonely being the only one
 
clearly your job is too simple and that is why only you can do their work properly!!
 
I am going to let you have that cheap shot for free
if you were within physical reaching distance though I would have smacked you for even thinking it
so far I've been told that the job that I'm booked for has every single piece of information on it wrong except for the customer name
the version of the software I'm installing is different from the one I was originally told
the server I'm installing on is different, and the new server doesn't have any of the prereqs on it
the version that I've been told to install hasn't been tested yet
and I'm sick of getting fucked about
 
@kalina what? Suggesting that you should seek a promotion is a cheap shot?
 
@badp ...
I don't even want to be here anymore
 
That's why I didn't spell it out
 
9:40 AM
I can't even book holiday because they've packed my schedule with work for the next 4 months already
it's not that the work is taxing, since I can just automate it all
but I still have to be physically present
I specifically told these idiots that I wanted my birthday off
but noooooooooo
they can expect a large amount of sick days from me this year
 
Don't they send you people to check if you're actually sick?
 
...no?
and if they did I wouldn't answer the door
that's an invasion of privacy
 
eh. Depends on whether or not it's in your contract/work law. It's on each of my parents' afaik
 
oh hilarious
the part of the company that hosts our internet related services just told me "I can't let you do an install at such short notice, you should have given us at least a week advance notice"
my response > "why do you need a week notice, I got 30 minutes notice, and if my management think thats good enough for me then I think that's good enough for you."
"have fun telling the customer they're not getting an upgrade."
ah the threat of them having to speak to an irate customer is just the motivation they needed
 
hey, @badp interested in getting? rpg.stackexchange.com/questions/20118/…
3 migrate votes already
 
9:50 AM
YEAH! MOAR that can't understand simple messages!
 
@sarge_smith Yeah. I'm tempted to just close it and ignore
it's not actually a good question
 
yeah, it is really not.
 
Aaand closed
Thanks :)
 
np, I'm always glad to offer an enabling hand :)
 
@BrianBallsun-Stanton Just one thing. I understand the mistake, but it's arqade, not arqUade
also, yeah, migrating would've been... okay, as in we wouldn't probably have closed it. We wouldn't have cheered to have it either.
 
9:59 AM
@badp Edited.
 
@BrianBallsun-Stanton Appreciated
 
@badp eeeh, migrating policy is to ask first :)
 
@BrianBallsun-Stanton Actually the current migration policy is to recklessly send stuff in all directions first and ask questions later. I'm not a fan of the current migration policy and I'm happy to ignore it.
 
...
grrrrrrr
I email this guy, asking for the service account details and database names
he sends me an email back containing service account details and database names
every single detail on this email is wrong.
 
@badp ick, no.
 
10:04 AM
(that said if the gaming to gamedev migration path became official I wouldn't ask every time... I wouldn't know about it every time in the first place!)
(same with SU)
 
10:31 AM
Well, I don't think I'm getting anything else productive done tonight... @kalina I hope the job becomes unterrible, however unlikely that seems
 
my tolerance level for stupid has already reached 0
it's 10-30 am
today is going to be a bad day
 
10:55 AM
oh no, I lost my 100% accept
 
@kalina Simple solution
 
@fredley well, simple in principle
 
@kalina No good answer?
 
it means I have to research answers for all the questions that have unsatisfactory answers on them
 
@kalina Just slap bounties on them, and make other people do the work
reputation is currency
 
10:58 AM
I don't have much luck with bounties on my own questions
 
New computer YAY!
It's even got that *sniff* cancer-causing new computer smell
 
Intel i7-3770 3.40GHz
8GB RAM
AMD Radeon HD 7470
1 TB Hard disk drive
WIndows 7 Professional 64-bit
 
Windows 8 is slowly growing on me
slowly
like a cancer
 
For whatever reason this computer didn't come with Windows 8
 
11:02 AM
well, Windows 8 isn't really a desktop OS
it can be a little bit awkward to use with a mouse in places
 
I think I might consider the cheap upgrade deal
 
think that expires soon
that's what I did as well
I was very surprised that it allowed me to upgrade from a cracked copy of Windows 7
I was even more surprised that it upgraded to Windows 8 while Windows 7 was running
 
January 31. Not that soon.
 
as far as OS upgrades go, it was one of the more pleasant experiences I've had
not that I'd call OS upgrades pleasant
 
Well, Ubuntu always had that (but its upgrades don't usually contain dramatic changes), and the last two OS X upgrades does that too
 
11:06 AM
not a mac user, and ubuntu...
when I used Linux I used Gentoo
 
I think the Windows Update is trying to download a gigabyte of updates
 
because there's nothing quite like compiling your own operating system from scratch
 
@kalina How often does shark attacks happen?
 
shark attacks? I don't know
why would you ever go in shark infested waters anyway
it's your own fault
oh right, I get it
 
I'm going to sign up for Ingress using a wifi-only tablet that has a half-broken GPS
 
11:09 AM
I installed it on a standalone system, I've never experienced the terror of breaking both operating systems in a dual boot configuration
 
Ubuntu broke GRUB on both 12.04 and 12.10 upgrade for me.
 
Ubuntu in comparison to Gentoo seems to lose a lot of the advantages of linux imo
my Gentoo install was rock solid, everything compiled on the hardware it was running on
 
Fairly annoying to fix
 
Ubuntu annoyed me
 
Oh, and I now have a 23" screen with a 1920x1080 resolution
 
11:14 AM
\o/
 
I have no idea what to do with all these pixels
 
my desktop resolution at home is 5760x1080
 
The 19" 1440x900 screen is still here, though I think my mom wants to hook it up to her laptop instead of letting me keep it as a second screen
 
in fact, the only thing I need is a graphics card and more hard disk space
 
Windows is installing 108 updates
This is going to... take a while
 
11:15 AM
this is why I love my new internet connection
 
user30
@RonanForman Redstone seems pretty hard to come by
 
goddamit I wish I could ban people for putting crap answers on my questions
you are breaking my 100% accepted answers score
 
@kalina As long as they don't get upvoted, you'll be fine
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone unfortunately, they all get upvoted
 
Questions only count for that number if at least one of their answers have a score of at least one
 
11:20 AM
ironic how they all have a score of at least one
 
At well, it's not the end of the world
 
yes it is
how can I be condescending to others about not accepting answers if I'm guilty of it myself?
:p
 
lol
isn't there a new star trek movie this year
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone This is the problem with using VM's, nothing physical to destroy in anger
CODES, Y U NO WORK
>:-(
 
11:25 AM
@fredley I suppose you could go on a rampage through Amazon's server racks...
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone They're a plane journey away.
 
Probably the largest concentration of virtual computers in the world for you to physically smash
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Dunno, I reckon Google probably has more
More Hardware anyway, possibly less VMs
 
I'm thinking of VM density, yes

Q: Do nested/layered fields provide any advantage?

ShiDoiSiIn Ingress you can create fields completely within fields, e.g. like in this screenshot of north-eastern Oslo: On the intel-map, they are even indicated in a more intense colour. Does this bring any advantage with regard to hacking or defending the respective portals?

 
11:54 AM
Google probably have more hardware than any other company in the world
 
@kalina Depends on your definition of Hardware, but yes.
 
hardware... physical... wares...
looking at the stars list, is it time for Arqade to go and troll Libraries?
 
@kalina A shipbuilder, for example, probably has a lot more 'hardware', by volume.
 
eugh
 
@kalina Looking at the stars list, it's time to star everything @kalina says
 
11:57 AM
context=computing and technology
fredley=pedantic
 
@kalina Ah thanks
@kalina fredley == pedantic, given context == computing and technology.
I will not have pedantry assigned to me
Actually, thinking about this, either fredley.hasProperty('pedant') or fredley == pedant would be better
 
Actually, thinking about this, you're overthinking it too much
