Clara, Clara is back - I loved her and was sad after her first appearance. But now, I'm more excited than ever before with DW!!!

A: Toggling auto aim in GTA: SA

ChrysAim for 0.3x download it right now a link!

What does everyone make of ^
@Michel Her first appearance, or her second?
@MBraedley Mmhmm, no.
The file hosting site isn't in English, and the delay makes it look shady
@MBraedley Sad after the first. Excited with the new possibilities after the second.
spam it is then
@MBraedley user website listed as Pornhub. Okay, judged as spam.
To fellow xcomers
never
ever
play with damage roulette.
The damage is "randomly" less, never more.
At least I was able to kill the two chyrssalids with only 3 people taking friendly fire last-ditch grenade damage.
15:03
@Michel I need to go back and re-watch that episode.
@MBraedley Was one of the best of DW.
I remember almost every detail.
From her second appearance. Best parts (comments):

- It's smaller outside! (Oposite to 99% of the same viewers)
- The is a kitchen? (You came in a TARDIS and ask for a kitchen?!?!?!)

I didn't noticed that was her! How could I didn't notice that!!!
I'm so exited now =D
@Michel She was announced to be the new companion pretty early, though. o.o

Q: Can't stop running using Logitech F510 playing Assassin's Creed 3

woniI'm playing Assassin's Creed 3 with my Logitech Rumble Gamepad F510. When I start running (hitting RT) I can't stop. This makes it impossible to continue playing, because I can't complete missions where I would have to aim (because aiming is not possible while running). Is there something I could...

I usually don't follow the news for series. only if they are keeping it on air, when the season starts and if there will be specials
It was pretty much all over the info for the special. Oh well. :P
15:21
So... I just bought this enterplaystore.com/…
I have absolutely no idea what the heck that is, but it's only $4 and it (apparently) is limited edition, since it's sold out now
It's probably not going to be the most stupid thing I've ever spent money on. I think.
You sound very confident in that.
@FEichinger Hmmm... the worst thing I've ever pulled my debit card out for. Let me think.
Right now I'm thinking Magicka.
Rather disappointing purchase indeed.
Magicka is fine now that I'm actually able to play the damn game
Magicka is so poorly optimized, it's unbearable.
15:26
Botanicula pre-order, US$9. The game was fine, the only problem being, the game launched as a Humble Debut Bundle. Which basically was a slap in the face for anyone who pre-ordered the game.
A banana equivalent dose (abbreviated BED) is a nonstandard unit of radiation exposure, ostensibly defined as the additional dose a person will absorb from eating one banana. The concept is based on the fact that bananas, like most organic material, naturally contain a certain amount of radioactive isotopes—even in the absence of any contamination due to human nuclear endeavors. The banana equivalent dose was meant to express the severity of exposure to radiation, such as resulting from nuclear power, nuclear weapons or medical procedures, in terms that would make sense to most people. ...
Huh. This is a thing?
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, it's for comparing radiation dosages
@LessPop_MoreFizz It must be. Wikipedia wouldn't lie.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Well yes, I read the article.
Banana has high level of potassium, and potassium is slightly radioactive
Well, some naturally occuring isotopes of it is
@LessPop_MoreFizz Some naturally occurring isotopes of Wikipedia do lie
@LessPop_MoreFizz Weally.
To their credit the halflife of those isotopes is rather short
To be fair the chest x-ray equivalent is probably a better unit for translating radiation dosage
15:30
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It's not nearly as ridicolous
@LessPop_MoreFizz Can not find XKCD comic...
@FEichinger That's it
Well, worse come to worse I suppose I could just stick that card up on eBay or something
@FEichinger Before the special, The Doctor asks for River as the next companion... what happened o.O (or do you think they will explain later, or even skip)?
@Michel I don't watch 11. I have no idea. I just know that my twitter feed spammed the whole Clara thingy.
@FEichinger I had assumed it was an actual comic, and thus would have been served by the google custom search on the site.
@MBraedley Shouldn't ever do that.
@FEichinger you really don't like 11?
15:36
@MBraedley I'm quite sure it is an actual comic
@Michel It's more that I absolutely don't like Moffat.
@FEichinger I know, I know. I actually did find it in the blog, but by then, you had already posted the link.
@Michel The change from 10 to 11 was just Moffat pushing his "QQ I WANT A REBOOOOT!" crap.
Oh no wait, it was posted to the blog
@YiJiang'sEvilClone No, I don't think it was
15:38
SO NERVOUS SO NERVOUS SO NERVOUS
@FEichinger any special reason?
@spugsley When is it? Good luck!
Ohh
@spugsley Take deep breaths, you'll be fine.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone starts at 3:00 O-o AHHH
so a few hours
15:39
I of course am saying this not knowing what you have to be nervous about
@MBraedley assisting and shooting at a wedding today :)
@spugsley In March? I s'pose the weather is generally better where you are this time of year than here.
@MBraedley actually today is balls. Rainy and cold :(
Consider yourself lucky, here it's snowing.
Strange, is "you" a trigger word for the subjective title warning?

Q: are bulborbs bugs?

user43054I had an argument with somebody. Are Bulborbs really bug-like enemies? Give me your honest opinion, please. Let's play this as a game of poker. I won't tell you which side I'm on. In Pikmin, are Bulborbs bug-like? plus, I couldn't find a good tag for this question, so I just used terminology.

Wut
@badp ...
Any correlation between any given subset of letters of 'spugsley' and the word 'ugly' is purely coincidental.

That made me smile
@MBraedley RADIOACTIVE BANANA
Today's Steam Daily Deal is a... budgeting software?
@YiJiang'sEvilClone the beauty of Steam Software.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Only for another hour-ish
@YiJiang'sEvilClone And @badp wants it, apparently
15:51
@TimStone Not for €17
:P
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Gamers need to be able to balance their budgets. How else are they supposed to buy new games on Steam?
@badp I guess you didn't... budget for it :P
facedesk
@YiJiang'sEvilClone slaps knee
@MBraedley Wouldn't it be detrimental to Steam then, to offer this software in the first place? Then people would think before buying! gasp
15:54
@MBraedley Ugh, bananas.
@TimStone Where's that keys folder you were talking about?
Oh...whoops. >_>;
OMG GOTTA GO GET READY NOW OMG BYE
@spugsley DON'T MESS UP

@spugsley :O
15:55
@Fluttershy :(
@spugsley What? That's my way of saying good luck! =D
@spugsley GOOD LUCK HUGS AND KISSES BREAK A LEG OMG ALL CAPS!!1!
@YiJiang'sEvilClone :)
@RonanForman Did he already give you the public key to add?
@TimStone No, but I'd like to know for when he does.
15:58
@spugsley MAKE SURE YOU DON'T MENTION BANANAS
OTHER HELPFUL ALL CAPS ADVICE
@badp DON'T THINK OF ELEPHANTS
RATS ARE ALSO RIGHT OUT
ESPECIALLY BLUE ELEPHANTS
@RonanForman Ah, okay. So yeah, you just have to edit ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and put the key on a new line. If @fredley has the key today I will actually be around to do it, I got a bit tied up with a personal emergency the other day.
@TimStone I see, okay.

@YiJiang'sEvilClone The best part is, none of the buttons on the demo page work on Chrome
oh, the demo page is super old
and the actual demo page works.
\o/
clearly we must ping spam @TimStone and @YiJiang'sEvilClone to let them bask in the glory of their newly found notifications
16:36
@badp I'm not running Nightly, so I'm not seeing anything
@YiJiang'sEvilClone boo.
Besides I think the code required is different
@YiJiang'sEvilClone the demo page works on both Chrome and Firefox
The demo page doesn't use pictures, however.
Yes, but chat's code needs updating
I'm not talking about the demo page linked at the top of the bug page
16:38
I think
Yeah, it still looks for webkitNotifications
@YiJiang'sEvilClone are we looking at the same thing?
I'm looking at chat's source code
function show() {
  var notification = new Notification("This is a title", {
      dir: "auto",
      lang: "",
      body: "This is a notification body",
      tag: "sometag",
  });

  // notification.onclose = …
  // notification.onshow = …
  // notification.onerror = …
}
ah. chat. okay.
yeah, there's no link to actually enable the notifications
maybe it's just a javascript function easily called from the console?
  Notification.requestPermission(function(perm) {
    alert(perm);
  })
The 'authorize' button in the demo has an inline event handler attached to it to call the above function
@YiJiang'sEvilClone ping me?
16:41
@badp Uh huh
yeah, still needs some work. Only Chrome showed me the notification
The granting part worked though.
Hmmm, the current Firefox beta implements CSS filters
Firefox's integrated informationsuperhighway.jpg generator needs a little spicier background.
@badp Is that chat?
@MBraedley yes

@Ullallulloo I generally reserve downvotes for terrible questions, or bad questions about games I play. That might be a bad question, but not being about a game I play, I don't know how bad it is.
@MBraedley I think it's bad for the site regardless of the game.
There are countless permutations of "What [character in game 1] is like [character in game 2]?"

@OrigamiRobot I got a Wii U so you have no excuse.
19:39
@OrigamiRobot Very strong feelings against a dog you don't know.
@FEichinger No, the real dog is fine. I hate the hair dog.
Still, very strong feelings.
@StrixVaria My excuse it needing to buy a TV too.
@FEichinger It creeps me out.
That creeps you out?
The hair dog is really creepy.

Q: How do you find and install the early alpha games on Steam?

StarPilotOnce an early access game has been purchased on Steam, how do you find it in your library to install it? Do you have to enable "Beta participation" in Steam? Or do you have to wait a couple of days before the game shows up in your "Game Library|All Games"?

@SaintWacko I'm considering getting this
@SaintWacko Thirty total.
Just wait til you face a 27-headed Lernaean Hydra
I would ping @Ashley to taunt her, but she's been gone too long. =/
20:19
@MBraedley Not bad, but more expensive, smaller screen, and not as versatile
@SaintWacko How is the pebble more versatile?
@MBraedley It can receive all notifications from your phone. It doesn't look like that watch can do that
I could be wrong, though
Apparently not yet, but that's a simple firmware update and/or app update
@MBraedley Looking at the Features list, it doesn't look like that's their plan, though
All their notifications are listed separately as "Coming Soon", which seems to imply they're going to implement them separately
Again, though, I may be reading it wrong
Can anyone write an app for the metawatch?
Oh, good
Getting the expansions activated on my mobile DoD install was as easy as copying the folders over!
@SaintWacko I don't know. In any case, just put a pre-order in for a pebble. It's less expensive, higher resolution screen, and might (hopefully) ship from Canada, meaning no duty to pay.

Or a new Onimusha game.
@MBraedley We should be closing them as NC and deleting the others.
@OrigamiRobot The one I duped to should be historically locked.
I don't think we do historical locks.
But we should. That question is the primary example for why we should. At the time it was asked, it was fine. Now it isn't. I believe that's the definition for use of historical locks
@MBraedley Not every question like that does or should get a historical lock.
I'd rather turn historic locks into blog posts
21:34
It's only for really good/popular questions that have stood the test of time, so to speak
we haven't been using our own blog in way too long
@murgatroid99 True, but just going back to that question, it has a canonical answer, which for me pushes it over the edge. If there were just some crappy answer, then I probably wouldn't suggest putting a historical lock on it.
The question itself isn't all that spectacular.
@MBraedley The thing that makes me skeptical is that the question wasn't really on-topic when it came out. In the meta discussion linked in the comments, the top answer from within a week of the question being asked gives a pretty good reason why the question doesn't belong on this site at all
@murgatroid99 I'm not sure how it survived so long.

@OrigamiRobot My guess is that people forgot about it while the bounty was there and then it didn't accumulate enough close votes
@murgatroid99 But then it was edited. in Aug and still stayed for over a year after that.
@OrigamiRobot Yeah, it's weird. Given the answer in the meta question, it's clearly off topic. Maybe people just didn't look at it when it hit the front page, or didn't realize that a +10 months old question might be off topic
has anyone used Steam Big Picture Mode with multiple displays before?
I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if it just always royally screws up your monitor order if your TV isn't your primary display (and there's zero chance of me using the TV as the primary display)

A: When is it ideal to feed my pokemon vitamins?

StrixVariaYou have to feed the Vitamins to your Pokemon early. EVs in a given stat can go up to 255, but Vitamins can only boost EVs up to 100, and the rest must be gained manually. For that reason, it's generally easiest to feed the Pokemon 10 of whatever vitamin you want and then train up the rest of the...
