We have one in our office since the airflow to the that room doesn't work anymore (duct problem after the last big storm we think).
It does do a good job of cooling. The one we've bought is VERY energy efficient, too.
It won't keep your room 60 degrees all the time but it's a noticeable difference.

heh, the Dragon is sat in a bath of cold water right now... have you ever seen pruney dragon scales? imagine Alexstraza all pruney, yeah, thats a thing

Depends on the host as well, some hosting platforms are case insensitive
snow dagger
Sooo, it appears blizzard removed the damage cap they put in back during Wrath
fleet adder
damage cap?
snow dagger
It was a thing that Blizzard put in back during Legion, @fleet adder It made it so that after a certain number of mobs, your aoes would stop doing damage.
fleet adder
oh that
snow dagger
Yeah, by appearances and testing on my end, it looks like it's been removed
fleet adder
heh, Rhonin is finally gone from Dal
snow dagger
It was originally put in to prevent people from just spamming AOE's and bumrushing dungeons. If I had to guess, with the pruning, they think that we' won't be doing that anymore
fleet adder
or not, i guess someone just beat algalon
ashen parrot
CITIZENS OF DALARAN!!!
@snow dagger IDK I would love to mess with Carve
Maybe they're designing pulls to become exponentially more challenging if you pull more which at the moment is more of a passing interest at best
but I never got that far in beta, so I wouldn't know.
snow dagger
We'll just have to see. I'm still doing some testing myself to make sure it's legit
ashen parrot
Maybe the diminishing effect needs more targets***
how many have you tried to AoE? And what specifically?
snow dagger
I'm heading to the area that I KNOW will prove it one way or the other, Wailing caverns. Before the patch hit, I went in there with my 680 Death Knight, gathered up all the mobs in that first room, hit Blood boil, and there was still like 5 raptors living by the end of it
Yep
one shot, all dead
Which goes along line with some of the other things I've seen
ashen parrot
could be squish stuff
or maybe it's how blood boil works? idk
I know some aoes work weirdly with the cap
torpid bear
Well, if @snow dagger tested it before, we at least know it behaves differently to how it used to
snow dagger
@ashen parrot Is right, it could be something weird going on, but that would require minds smarting then mine digging into the game to figure it out. I'm just noticing it on both my Dk and my Warrior that they're able to AOE stuff and have it all dead
ashen parrot
did you try to use thunderclap for the warrior/
ashen parrot
Thunderclap has a bleed tied to it though. I know DoT-appliers in particular interact weirdly with the AoE damage cap.
snow dagger
Thunderclap lost it's bleed with the Expansion
ashen parrot
like you think Multishot isn't affected but it turns out to be the initial damage from Serpent Sting
Hm? I still saw Deep Wounds.
checks
snow dagger
It's tied to Revenge/devistate now, and Revenge is one shotting everything in this instance
ashen parrot
oh
incidentally, the voice acting for warrior abilities is....interesting
my blood elf sounds like a dwarf though
snow dagger
XD
I'd also test my Monk and Paladin as well, if need be
See how their aoes are fairing against full rooms
snow dagger
And they all died, yeah?
snow dagger
I noticed that too
fleet adder
Long ass silences at that, like 6s
snow dagger
My Warrior and DK both were getting debuffed a bit more often then I'm used to seeing running through older content
fleet adder
Rageface ripped me apart earlier in 25h, had to drop to 25 to get past him

Welp I know what I'm not playing when I do my RSIM challenge
fleet adder
That said, I am cloth. Leather and up may have different results
ashen parrot
Oh I thought you were playing a tank.
rip
I did notice tanks seem squishier though.
snow dagger
Nah, I'm the one who's doing the tanks :p
fleet adder
Nah, mains a 705 mage
snow dagger
They are, just a little bit
ashen parrot
Heh well...Mage was out of my RSIM challenge unfortunately
snow dagger
But that was to make Healers a bit more important
ashen parrot
Currently I'm leaning Hunter.
fleet adder
We got our barrier back
snow dagger
Hunter is fun. You can tame Kodo's now! :3
ashen parrot
You can tame the Iron Juggernaut* now 😄
snow dagger
Kinda
ashen parrot
Apparently you can also tame Thok
snow dagger
With Iron Juggernaut, you've actually got to go and collect a bunch of items and build the Juggernaut
fleet adder
Brb taming flame Leviathan
fleet adder
Lol
snow dagger
And since Iron Juggernaut is a Mech, you can only do it as a Gnome or Goblin currently
fleet adder
My hunter is a troll, can I go tame oondasta
snow dagger
Once Legion launches proper however, there's going to be an item Engineers can make that will allow ALL hunters to tame Mechs
Including a Mech Squirrel, chicken, Rabbit, and sheep
fleet adder
Sheep jokes incoming. Guaranteed.
snow dagger
My main used to be a hunter, so I know a lot about them and have kept up on them
ashen parrot
I've mostly been following mechanics and gameplay
Considering the removal of petbuffthings, I was really hoping for exotics to just not be a thing, but I guess they will continue to be.
snow dagger
Exotics are probably a bit more important now then they were before, considering they're the only things hunters have pet wise that bring effects, baring a few PVP based pets like the Spider
ashen parrot
Eh but at this point I just wish they gave the utility to everyone since Blizzard insists on not making pets buffbots.
I mean all Hunters were able to use Bloodlust in MoP. It was amazing to do too.
IDK if that's gone now though. I'll need to check my stables.
snow dagger
Nope, it's still there
corehounds and one other pet... I want to say one of the Outland based pets
checks
ashen parrot
nether ray
snow dagger
Neather Rays
snow dagger
Nope, neither are spiders :p
ashen parrot
checks if I can use core hound outside BM
snow dagger
Blizz just took out all the abilities of pets that were raid buffs
And left all the rest
ashen parrot
that I did notice but that makes Core Hounds and Nether Rays identical utility-wise
ashen parrot
lol nope I still can't summon a Core Hound
snow dagger
It's kinda of like Blizz is saying 'just bring the pet you want'
ashen parrot
Well, I'm not even surprised by the oversight at this point.
torpid bear
Doesn't the core hound Double Breath do something too?
snow dagger
Yeah
torpid bear
k
ashen parrot
lol those numbers.
snow dagger
0 to 2? XD
ashen parrot
I like how Hunter Companion shows up even though I'm not Surv
well either way. my point does kinda stand. At this point, the line between Exotic and normal pets is kinda blurred.
snow dagger
Agreed
ashen parrot
It also doesn't help that some normal pets literally have nothing.
This really isn't much better than the Wrath days of "everyone use wolf"
It'll probably be Nether Ray heyday assuming no Lone Wolf./
But eh, I have bigger fish to fry when it comes to design decisions related to Hunters 😛
snow dagger
Same here. I'm still grumpy about Thunderstomp, though I've not tested it to see if they've changed it since the last expansion
snow dagger
It's part of the reason it took me nearly all of WoD to get around to leveling my hunter. I just hate the fact that I'm expected to Misdirect near constantly onto my pet just to keep threat on more then one enemy
ashen parrot
well
that's always been a problem for Hunters though
It was worse back in the day, when Mend Pet could rip aggro off the pet.
Thunderstomp was far from reliable too.
snow dagger
Still better back then compaired to now
ashen parrot
I prefer now over then, tbh.
snow dagger
Last I checked, hunters were abusing the fuck out of a glitch to keep their pets having agro
ashen parrot
Glyph, you mean? 😛
Being able to infinitely misdirect your pet has been a thing since Mists. It's highly useful
Oh wait crap speaking of that..
snow dagger
No, Glitch
ashen parrot
How? Doesn't seem like you really need to glitch.
snow dagger
There's a glitch right now that if you do misdirection on your pet twice in a row, it get's infintate duration on Misdirect
Or at least, the glitch was around before the patch, not sure if it still exists now
ashen parrot
That's weird
Because you really....don't need to rely on that glitch
I just macro it so cast on the pet or else cast on focus
and then add that macro to all my offensive abilities.
it's useful anyways 😄
snow dagger
Maybe, but that's what I've seen people abusing as a hunter
ashen parrot
that's a very odd, pointless thing to abuse xD
incidentally, I'm kinda annoyed that there's no way to infinite cast misdirection to the pet anymore though
That said, Surv probably won't need it too much, MM will probably Lone Wolf, and BM doesn't care.
I wonder if Beast Cleave cleaves Kill Command yet
ashen parrot
same lol
Also I did observe that Beast Cleave only cleaves the pet's basic melees or whatnot
I don't think it even splashed Bite/Claw
snow dagger
That's good to know

No Gendered Mechanics - How Genre Stereotypes Limit Games and Players - Extra Credits
oh jeez I think these guys have never played mount and blade before
steady fossil
O.o wat
ashen parrot
just typical identity politics spiel from extra credits (I mean to be fair, it's not like the message they're putting out is nefarious by any means). To put some perspective on their ideals, they also stanced themselves against Gamergate.
considering the recent confirmation bias news related to mainstream media bollocks, that position's becoming more tenuous since they were a huge driving force behind smearing the crap out of the aforementioned movement.
steady fossil
I'm mainly confused what the "gendered mechanics" is referring to. I don't know if I've ever heard of gendered mechanics except for in Black Desert Online where some classes could only be female and some could only be male or something
ashen parrot
from watching the video, it's interpreted in a few ways
the representation of genders in the gaming medium (a topic they've explored before)
the stereotypes associated with genders in terms of mechanics and playstyles they prefer towards.
which could honestly be expanded to numerous other demographics but oh well
the one I prefer to look at is the casual/core/hardcore one regardless
steady fossil
ah
I mean I don't have much to say about it really. I just have little context of what the subject is. :p
ashen parrot
it's really the tip of the iceberg tbh
going deeper leads to what is for all intents and purposes an all-out war of ideals, the most extreme of which are just...blatantly unhealthy
steady fossil
I mean I know of gamergate and all the like of that. But the further I ever read into it, the more nonsensical it gets, and the more emotional it gets on a subject that really shouldn't be treated as such
ashen parrot
unfortunately, this is what happens when a false narrative is spread about the movement because well
Internet
and threats
but this explains it in a relatively balanced way
steady fossil
I don't understand why people get so angry that they send threats and even dox people
ashen parrot
well
steady fossil
I specifically deleted any and all references to my real identity online because I was afraid of both companies selling my info to other spam companies and the like (because they do that) and to prevent harassment in real life for something I may or may not ever post in the future on social media
ashen parrot
there's a lot of complex explanations as to why, but the simplest one is the Internet is an environment where people aren't really held accountable for their actions
And not everyone has amazing self-control. It's a lot easier to express frustrations here and other emotional extremes.
In truth though the behavior is an extension of how crappy society can get. One quick glance into the current state of politics in numerous countries explains the problem pretty well.
steady fossil
This whole current situation in the US isn't very great either
All the stuff with the DNC. Like. Lol. Everything is laughable at this point in the way it's gotten
ashen parrot
Oh I was hoping we'd get to talk DNC corruptionfest at some point.
Honestly, Trump legitimately might win. It's been apparent for a while but damn those juicy email leaks did some serious work.
steady fossil
I may or may not have been able to take a good look at all those emails and the like
Most of it is junk from politico but there's a few gems in there
ashen parrot
I really want to see what polling's like.
steady fossil
He's ahead as far as I know atm
ashen parrot
I've read into a few email chains. It's pretty damning tbh.
steady fossil
Yeah the news sites that posted them aren't lying
ashen parrot
I mean the fact the DNC is being silent and not trying to refute it is a pretty good sign.
Blaming Russian hackers in the general sense also makes the whole issue seem more genuine too.
Even though honestly Guccifer 2.0 could just be some guy who works with Anonymous or something.
steady fossil
It could be anybody really
steady fossil
I mean could be me. We'd never know. Though I think I displayed my incompetence already enough I can't get away with that
ashen parrot
It's something they would do in any case. Meets their philosophy pretty well if various factors are considered.
in b4 FBI kick down your door . . .
steady fossil
Lately what I've seen from anonymous has been pretty... Bland.
ashen parrot
they've not been doing much tbh
I think they're probably busy screwing with ISIS
(still)
steady fossil
Maybe.
It's kind of sad any of this is happening though.
I mean according to polls, Bernie had 43% or something of the democratic vote, and basically betraying the trust of all those people, possibly splitting them between either Trump, third running parties or not voting at all is really going to hurt them
ashen parrot
In some multiverse somewhere Clinton actually had the courage to step down.
In another NY opened the primaries and caused Sanders to win a landslide victory in NY, building upon a long winning streak and increasing momentum (imo this state was a major turning point)
but shrug
steady fossil
I was surprised to see California go for Hillary
ashen parrot
I mean Sanders really couldn't have done anything productive in his situation tbh
Between early voting, the Sanders movement petering out, and various other factors, I'm not surprised honestly.
After NY was a very low point.
steady fossil
I mean at this moment I like neither candidates. :p
Both primary runners are more or less garbage to me.
ashen parrot
Not to mention there was some election fraud going on
steady fossil
Yeah. Independents not being able to vote
ashen parrot
registration fuckery and then the blatant MSM voter suppression attempt on the voting day
steady fossil
Which is ridiculous. That's why they chose it
ashen parrot
they even straight up said they'd announce Clinton as presumptive nominee on the day
but as it turns out they did it the night before.
steady fossil
I personally chose nonpartisan so even that does happen to me. But its still garbage
ashen parrot
Oh yes about that
for Cali you had to go NPP or Democrat
but there was some weird options that looked independent but wouldn't allow voting in the primary
steady fossil
Here in Alaska, it was pretty weird actually
ashen parrot
Alaska is a caucus right? That in itself is weird
and even though Sanders did better in caucuses overall
I'll be the first to say it's a load of bs.
And I live in Washington State.
steady fossil
About 15k people voted republican and maybe about 550 were democrat.
ashen parrot
Well
that's inaccurate though
Caucus "votes" aren't actually votes
but precinct delegate wins.
steady fossil
Was confusing to me was all first looking at it
ashen parrot
after all, Washington surely wouldn't have had a turnout of a few thousand voters considering their populace right?
in Alaska, Republicans hold a primary
that's why there's such a "disparity."
in truth the caucus side probably had half the overall turnout (so about ~8k?), but in primary numbers, may have doubled the republican turnout.
because caucuses are a tad...restrictive.
steady fossil
I mean to this day I still don't understand why there is the entire primary and then presidential run
ashen parrot
well
an honest primary is intended to gauge the electoral strength of various candidates.
pretty much it's a litmus test to see which candidate is the best for the party.
but there's a lot of evidence that the Democratic Primary in particular wasn't run honestly
and in both Primary systems there's clearly a lot of problems.
steady fossil
Not sure if anything will even be investigated or done about that though
ashen parrot
the fact there's any inherent voter suppression at all is problematic. A closed primary makes no sense in the context of gauging electoral strength.
Because in the general election, anyone can vote for whoever.
Thus, in the primary, it should be roughly the same. There will be spoilers in either case.
As for doing things about it, ElectionJusticeUSA is gaining some traction
steady fossil
Ive never heard of that? O.o
ashen parrot
they're trying to investigate election fraud mostly in the dem primary
steady fossil
Makes sense
Hah speaking of, my friend and I have this running gag of "Jeb Bush 2016"
ashen parrot
have fun
if you want you can skip to the end though
the sad part is it doesn't even consider the more speculative factors
like the effect of media reporting in general
(as opposed to their collusion with the DNC, which is proven through the leaked emails).
this means even the estimated maximum delegates Sanders lost isn't necessarily the true maximum. Unfortunately it would be very difficult to calculate such a value.
steady fossil
Lots of people don't seem to be taking the internet into account of things lately.
ashen parrot
well
steady fossil
It's the main reason why somebody like Sanders even arose, really
ashen parrot
the internet definitely has more appeal among the younger demographics
and the relatively wealthier demographics
steady fossil
Or Jill Stein / Elizabeth Warren / Gary Johnson
ashen parrot
so pretty much middle class 13-25s
Honestly
Obama
that is all
also I'm kinda eh on Warren tbh.
Not so much her ideals so much as her being an attack dog who keeps trying to go after Trump on Twitter. The lack of conduct is depressing.
Johnson's also another eh.
Stein is...okay.
Honestly I wish we had a candidate talk more about automation though.
steady fossil
I'm mainly concerned for economic policies and ethics over these emotional social issues that people attack each other on. My friend is pretty much purely on emotional issues and goes for Trump because supposedly he's anti-SJW, which I can see an appeal in but doesn't attract me as much.
ashen parrot
Oh boy..
It's interesting you mention that because...
You know how I mentioned the issue of extremes before and how there's a bit of a war of ideals?
It pretty much boils down to this whole "SJW vs anti-SJW" thing
Not a great way to represent the clash, but there you go.
But the sad part is there's surprisingly little different in the mentality of the two extremes.
I mean you can look no further than reactions to say...the Silence Penalty to see that.
steady fossil
The NYI silence penalty? :p
ashen parrot
the WoW one, which was preceeded by the Heroes one.
which hilariously enough is probably one of the more lenient multiplayer gaming moderation punishments
steady fossil
I'm personally not concerned with it really though
ashen parrot
anyone who's had to deal with the penalties imposed in League knows what I mean ;3
steady fossil
Even if it were implemented now
steady fossil
There's a different silence system if I remember?
steady fossil
The previous system. Silence isn't in yet I don't think.
ashen parrot
It's partially in rn
Mostly in the sense there's faster GM reaction and there's manually applied Silences
the previous system's automated punishment is still in place though because
there's a good chance it's tied to the old report system.
that first part was confirmed by CS reps on the forums
steady fossil
Just seems like a really big deal out of almost nothing though. :p
ashen parrot
Well I mean it's fair to criticize the system for being potentially abusable since that kind of...defeats the purpose of the system.
steady fossil
Of course
ashen parrot
I mean in a sense the regulation is intended to curb tyrannical behavior in the sense of verbal abuse having some effect of dictating over other individuals.
AKA, the "rule by fear" logic
this is currently what Trump is employing. He's essentially a schoolyard bully lol.
But if the regulation itself can be abused to harm the innocent or excessively punish someone who's only a little guilty, that in itself is tyrannical.
It gives a high level of control to a group.
steady fossil
I can only imagine RP realms going on witch hunts.
ashen parrot
quite.
Well at least report abuse is addressed. It violates the ToU since it's essentially "disruptive behavior."
steady fossil
That's the main abusers I can think of
ashen parrot
But the previous points sums up my issue with the two extremes of the aforementioned clash of ideals, hence why I prefer sitting in the middle ground area.
steady fossil
I've definitely seen both sides of reason. Usually they're both about blaming each other and emotional issues so almost nothing is communicated between them.
ashen parrot
Well it's not even necessarily just that though.
I think there's a social disconnect in terms of understanding the concept of criticism.
Like the fact it's often used in a negative connotation is enough to show what people think of it, when in truth criticism's not all that bad, with the constructive side being highly beneficial.
Though yes, emotions are involved in a sense even there.
But it's also an education problem. For some reason there's a lack of critical thinking during the learning process until higher education, and even then it depends on the professor.
People also often speak of entitlement, though that's been a problem for ages and is a little more apparent now due to the greater freedom to feed the beast known as ambition.
steady fossil
I've found it odd... I mean personally I've never been able to get a higher education at all
I've lived out in the boonies all my life really in Alaska. There's jack out here, and community college / university just isn't an option for me without any money
ashen parrot
IDK if you've been an internet denizen for a while that may help get you acquainted with discussions and critical thinking.
As much as you can filter out to create the perfect echo chamber, you can also freely challenge your world view if you so desire.
steady fossil
I was taught really crappy things in my high school too. So a lot of what I say is often... well... "not up to date," or just flat out wrong.
I've tried to challenge what I think by introducing both sides of politics for example. I've seen all the Trump stuff, and I've seen all the Sanders stuff. Both the extremes really.
ashen parrot
The most polarized discussion is probably on r/politics lol.
It's pretty amazing what flavors of circlejerk you can encounter there on a daily basis.
steady fossil
I usually don't expose myself to it on reddit actually. I pretty much purely follow WoW and Fallout stuff
ashen parrot
It is good to see there's other people willing to challenge their world view - to essentially criticize themselves.
I think the most important person to criticize is yourself.
I mean it might lead to insecurities and stuff, but it's generally more beneficial than not.
steady fossil
I did encounter actually some weird thing not too long ago though on r/WoWUI I think it was where somebody was essentially saying they had this unobtainable weapon. So I mentioned it was likely due to cache and should be deleted, etc.
Somebody replied to my comment, saying to delete the entire WTF folder, and that has absolutely nothing to do with unobtainable weapons messing around with the games data files.
So of course, I replied, saying that it was wrong and got downvoted into oblivion for a correct comment
ashen parrot
Deleting the WTF in general does surprisingly little xD
unless the config is literally corrupted (or something like that).
steady fossil
It's purely Config and SavedVariables, which contain things like the action camera and Console Variables
ashen parrot
Also, your story sums up a lot of Reddit bullshittery
steady fossil
And Macros
But I essentially warned against it because deleting the WTF folder means deleting the macros and deleting the SavedVariables, which the SavedVariables hold ALL the profile data for the UI and Addons
ashen parrot
I mean you can get downvoted for asking perfectly valid questions. Your potentially awesome suggestions never see the light of day. Even when following the 9:1 ratio, people still don't give a crap about your personal content that potentially is superior to the popular content creator's stuff.
I'm definitely not bitter at all.
steady fossil
hah
I've posted a few things that I thought were pretty good but only got maybe a few likes if any at all. Usually it's downvoted once and so therefore shunted into "page 4 of obscurity"
ashen parrot
I once posted a Hunter thing
the only post I got was some guy who clearly didn't read the article or its numerous disclaimers
and just said
"these suggestions would make Hunters OP.'
steady fossil
mmmmmmhmmmmmm
ashen parrot
which is funny, because it's pretty easy to criticize the article
all he had to say is "holy crap too long."
steady fossil
In my Vengeance DH guide, I believe I got a comment somewhere (awhile ago) saying they couldn't read it because all the spells were displaying as (spell#12345), which is due to viewing it on wowhead.com instead of legion.wowhead.com
Despite my very opening words on the guide saying, "Make sure to view this on legion.wowhead.com or you get this"
Now I don't have to worry about that because prepatch set it. :p
ashen parrot
lol
yeah it's pretty annoying when people ignore the obvious disclaimers.
or just
ignore the disclaimers in general
steady fossil
The only main disclaimer I have now is literally, "(This guide receives frequent updates. If there's outdated information, I will get to it. Everything should be up to date by the time Demon Hunters are released. Thanks for the patience. :)"
ashen parrot
I mean it's an opinion piece (or at least has some opinion in it). Kind of have to approach it expecting something to go against your personal thoughts.
steady fossil
Mainly though I've gotten pretty good (as in constructive) criticism on my guide. Things like, "The paragraphcs aren't sparsed out enough," or how the order of all the sections are, etc.
And of course, whenever a mistake is pointed out, I'm willing to change it immediately because I want my guide as accurate as possible before, during, and after the launch of Demon Hunters inevitably within the next possible weeks
ashen parrot
Oh if only I got more of that. Most of my blog comments are phishing links lol.
steady fossil
mm, speaking of which I can't seem to find where I placed the bookmark to your site. :I
ashen parrot
Been getting a lot more views per day lately, even though I've been procrastinating hard on a new article.
Probably because people are back into WoW
steady fossil
Yeah same here
Although I don't have a blog thing. :p
I don't really have any good audience to direct any blogs at so I never really bother beginning
ashen parrot
I kinda did it because I had a lot of ideas
and I wanted to put it somewhere instead of just spamming threads all over the wowhead forum
steady fossil
Well I always have ideas in mind for game mechanics I think would help the game
ashen parrot
Also, I wanted access to more formatting options than wowhead provides.
Even if I do suck at html, javascript, etc.
steady fossil
like a scaling system for low level zones so level 80s can quest in the barrens with no consequences or something of the like
wowhead as far as I know is mainly html / BBCode
ashen parrot
It's BBCode for the users
steady fossil
primarily BBCode though
ashen parrot
But html's more flexible, and javascript even more so.
steady fossil
as far as guides that is. :p
ashen parrot
Besides, I also wanted to talk about non-WoW stuff
steady fossil
actually as far as learning html (and css) goes, this place is pretty good I think:
https://www.codecademy.com/learn
ashen parrot
and I did for a time
atm I'm in a state where I focus on WoW
but idk, I might expand to Old School Runescape at some point.
On CSS/html I usually just look up snippets of code to do what I want done
because I'm a lazy.
steady fossil
I mainly do that for Lua on addon and UI design. :p
ashen parrot
cba to learn LUA.
I mean I understand the code, but I really don't like being the mod maker.
steady fossil
I generally try not to get too involved if it's already done, but at the same time I'm looking at scrapping a bunch of things together into one addon.
mm I had an old blogspot account (apparently merged with google) and so I decided to rename mine... only to find what I wanted was taken.
last post from 2011. -.-

ashen parrot
That background is exactly why I use the generic one
Also I like the dark greyish background. It feels like Wowhead and makes text easier to see and read.
steady fossil
Dark themes seem to always do better
one of the various reasons I switched from Skype to Discord tbh
ashen parrot
Well IDK. I actually don't like night mode Reddit..
I think it's better to have light for reading smaller text.
steady fossil
I prefer the night mode on reddit all the time but that's me. :p
I am going to delete this one though. If I'm ever "ready," eventually I'll make an actual good looking one.
ashen parrot

Also I might putter around with the HTML and the like if it allows

speaking of html, do you have a chrome extension that basically "blocks" / controls Flash plugins on every website?
versed pebble
I found an easier way, I uninstalled flash
steady fossil
Then you can't run some tiny plugins, though. :p
I have flash uninstalled as well
but controlling flash plugins on websites prevents them from loading
versed pebble
but both Chrome and Firefox are anti flash now anyway, any sites still using it need to get with the frakin' program
versed pebble
a while ago infact
steady fossil
whoa rip in peace Chrome apparently

So this just happened upon opening the link
I mean I pressed the X button and didn't have to close it so...

what is the crucible?
ashen parrot
a book about the salem witch trials, dramatized.

So according to r/pokemongo, RIP Niantic
What's going on with that damn game does make me appreciate Blizzard a bit more. I mean I criticize them a lot but at the end of the day they are on the upper echelons of consumer friendliness overall.
versed pebble
whats happened now?
ashen parrot
Best to explain in order, probably.
From server issues that took a while to sort out and still intermittently happen today to the tracking issue showing 3 steps to Niantic removing the tracking system entirely, which one could optimistically presume is an attempt to fix the problem later but for now since it's broken, just save battery life by disabling...
And then just straight up screwing over the usage of Pokemon GO tracking sites that were working...
And then on top of all this, a sheer lack of communication and thus transparency...
Quite the recipe for a PR disaster.
versed pebble
oh, so nothing new since this morning then
ashen parrot
Oh what I was kinda expecting Niantic to be a JP company. It would explain the lack of transparency due to cultural pride.
They're not. Lol even worse.
Yes pretty much
Issues upon issues upon issues and people not being listened to. Niantic might have a history, but they better change that trend fast and clean up their act if they want to nurture their golden goose lol.
Oh that explains things. Niantic was under Alphabet.
Youtube #wheresthefairuse drama still in full force.
Google doing shady things such as scrubbing their search (not at the behest of the DMCA)
starting to make more sense now.
neat portal
If right. Niantic left when Google announced they was to became Alphabet. So they wasn't really under them during the new name.
torpid bear
Yup, Niantic ex-google, hence them using some weird login API that gave them full account access briefly at launch

I should always just talk here when I do.

timber crag
Too many channels, way too confusing
versed pebble
have you SEEN the station channels list? we have mroe to add still
timber crag
No, I only sit on Wowhead and one other channel
versed pebble
frosty tundra
This place is minor compared to other servers.
There's at least 2-3 here you can't even see Cal 😄
timber crag
Wait what?! I'm being kept out of certain loops?
frosty tundra
lol - There's a private admin area, a private dev area and a private writers area was just added.
timber crag
Yeah, about that last one, I'm feeling very discriminated as a screenshot manager right about now. Why do Guide Writers get a fancy name color and own channel, and I'm stuck with the filthy moderator rabble? 😛
frosty tundra
you're in the private volunteer area, you're still special 😄
You're still above them in the user list... that's what you get? and they're not in volunteer like you are? I dunno, I think you slightly outrank them 😄
Oh and they don't have any mod abilities here.. just the color. Come on Cal, stop busting my coconuts lol
timber crag
You had me at 'outrank' them, carry on General.
versed pebble
but this place is VERY specific
yeah, you can only see all mine cos the station is my channel
frosty tundra
I think I'll delete beta-and-spoilers on launch day.

Wowhead is 4th on your list? -gasp-

Can we get a ban on that guy
versed pebble

"super secret games company no one really knows about yet"
Guild
WoWhead

then others...

You need a priority check Private

It's cool, your station is like 5th in my list 😄

frosty tundra
This time, right? lol

I had actually forgot what it was when I removed it the first time... along with six other servers.

I only have Discord installed because of wowhead 😉

crap, I cleared a few patrons, meant to add yours back
frosty tundra
It's okay, I don't really qualify anyhow. Just teasing.

actually you and Kitten are the only ones on that list that aren't donators
nah man, if Perc or Panser was there, I'd bump you for them of course 😛

frosty tundra
Not in the budget.

I do get told I'm amazing a lot via email though, I'll take the kuddos there.
Although... I do get a lot of "you're an idiot" as well. So I guess it balances out.

Really? I thought most PR people mostly get deaththreats
frosty tundra
Rarely... yes but rarely. Usually it's suicide threats.
versed pebble
I tell Crimson the same thing every day Sas, on that note, brb, need to go wake him up, 3pm is too late

timber crag
I got into Beta at the very start and played like twice
I don't get people's obsession with them

It's cool when you want to learn a new rotation
But, other than that, I would rather spend my time on the realm where my efforts are going to mean something
Rather than get wiped
frosty tundra
Is anyone elses character portrait missing on the site (by your username, top right)?
timber crag
I don't recall ever having my portrait there
versed pebble
nope
torpid bear
On the blizz site? Yeah, that's been screwy ever since they started the rework
versed pebble
holy crap... and I was happy with my 14k
frosty tundra
My number is fake...
when you become a volunteer/staff the number really has no meaning so I just made it something
torpid bear
I don't have a portrait?
versed pebble
why not make it Pi then?
frosty tundra
It's my husband's birthday, our anniversary and my birthday.
timber crag
Think it's staff only Sas
versed pebble
OH, thats cool
timber crag
Never had an icon there
frosty tundra
Do you have a character piinned?
timber crag
Yes
versed pebble
frosty tundra
That cannot be staff only...
torpid bear
I have many characters pinned
frosty tundra
okay so there Lones has it, not staff and not patron
versed pebble
I cleared the cache first too
timber crag
Maybe you need to turn it on somewhere in settings?
torpid bear
I was just checking settings now, didn't see anything
timber crag
Battle.net login required maybe?
timber crag
I guess they just hate us than
frosty tundra
I don't see it in settings either.
I just always remember having it
Cal, unpin and repin a character
When I unpinned my one pinned character the box went away but it came back when I repinned it
timber crag
Nope nothing
frosty tundra
This is irritating me.
timber crag
That yours doesn't show, or that mine doesn't? 😛
frosty tundra
All of the above.
timber crag
It is pretty weird, never even knew it was a thing
frosty tundra
Mind if I login to your account for a sec Cal?
Feel free to mind... it doesn't matter really, lol. Just my own curiosity.
frosty tundra
Ahh the HARD refresh
frosty tundra
Did you try the Ctrl + F5?
My imagine is failing to load via the network though so it's not Wowhead, seems to be battle.net: https://us.battle.net/static-render/us/sargeras/4/95033092-avatar.jpg?alt=wow/static/images/2d/avatar/22-1.jpg
timber crag
No, Ctrl + F5 didn't do it either
torpid bear
Do you get a border at least?
frosty tundra
Okay I'm going in.
torpid bear
Mine didn't even have the outline until I repinned
timber crag
Nah nothing Synk
torpid bear
Yeah, so same as mine prior then
timber crag
How can you login to other users accounts though, isn't that like a massive breach of privacy?
versed pebble
nah, admins can do it on most sites, I can do it on teh stations
frosty tundra
I don't gain any information I don't already have... just playing "as you." No privacy issue there.
versed pebble
yeah
when you sign up, you give the site all of it anyway, theres nothing new admins can ever see
frosty tundra
You're right, I can't get it to appear for you either.
timber crag
Fair enough, not that I mind (in this scenario) just always thought it wasn't possible
Glad it's not me Sas
frosty tundra
Okay that was a waste of time then... :\ ugh - PM incoming to you Cal.
frosty tundra
And now my little icon appears again

oh well that explains Moroes.
well if you needed proof that Yahoo is as irrelevant as Myspace...
ashen parrot
pretty much their idea of a "tracking fix" is removing the whole thing
versed pebble
what we all hate was removed, they claim people are happy about
frosty tundra
oh it was the obvious thing, okay, it was kind of glitched though... so I was kind of reading it as, yeah, they removed the completely pointless 3 steps... I am kind of happy about that.
ashen parrot
found it
frosty tundra
I'd rather they had fixed it... yes... but I'm glad the broken part is gone at least.
ashen parrot
via Kotaku
oh this explains things
also it does seem mildly sarcastic. The end anyways.

Seems like a sequel to me, but whatever they want to call it I guess
The trailer looks about as bad as I'm betting the show will be
tawny tide
I can't wait for the Game of Thrones spinoffs that they eventually come out with.
At least most shows don't become the zombie shows that The Simspons is. Or 100 copy-pasta crime procedural shows out there.
timber crag
How is the Simpsons a zombie show?
bleak bloom
zombie show = undead, revived, never ending
timber crag
Ah, thanks
bleak bloom
i think, would make sense
timber crag
I don't see anything wrong with that though when it comes to Simpsons, South Park, etc. as they don't really have a story
They just go with current events and such
bleak bloom
maybe not never ending more like should be long dead
torpid bear
Yeah, I dunno if I'd say that about The Simpsons 😛 But soooo many shows go for 2 seasons longer than they should have coughX-Filescough

Gotta love the reddit "I'll downvote you into oblivion for perfectly decent inormation" crap
Kind of actually made me feel bad about myself as well.
Essentially, it was a remark about how when you shapeshift into flight form, you're still in your last form for x amount of seconds before the server registers to you that you switched (due to slow internet, etc.)
To further confirmed I have the same issue, I stated I have a GTX 960 with core i7 processor (because they're fairly powerful pieces of hardware) and I get downvoted and told "it's still garbage" etc., all the while people start comparing it to the 1080 which I never did. :I
And I mean of course the 1080 is going to blow it out of the water. But again, I was never comparing it to that card.
Like, gee. Thanks. The computer I bought on a budget because I didn't have a decent amount of money and felt proud about when I was able to upgrade from my previous potato PC is essentially a garbage computer.
wide cipher
People get into pissing contests all the time on the Internet and I think it's really shitty.
I hate that they'll work so hard to make someone feel awful.
torpid bear
Especially about WoW. It's not like your specs even really matter nearly as much as other games
wide cipher
Seriously.
steady fossil
I was making note the other day about how I still get major FPS drops in places like Stormwind, more so than before the patch. I've been able to run Skyrim with full ENB / Mods and get 60 FPS while only being able to get 45 in Trade District.
Other people were having the same issue. More or less it's because something is broken. I mean I get like 15 FPS in the garrison?
wide cipher
I'm on an MSI with a 980 and even I get shittier frame rates than usual
That's not a 'lol your card is shit' moment. Assholes just like to brag and bring other people down. =|
steady fossil
Yeah. :I
It's something broken. I went through all the settings individually. Shadows and Water hit the card very hard.
Especially the difference between... I think Ultra and Good quality Water?
(despite being almost no difference in reality) I drop about 5 - 10 FPS
wide cipher
hell all through WOD even there were times where I'd load in and everything was grey because the textures hasn't loaded in yet and running was like stop and go traffic
steady fossil
The difference being there's more visible reflections between the two. Although you may actually want the option off because it makes the water more translucent and visible ot see through from a PvP perspective if somebody hides under the water. :p
wide cipher
I keep water on good I think. There were a few things I had to turn down because my laptop was overheating in this 115 degree weather XD
steady fossil
I did a comparison before in the docks in Stormwind. The boats are definitely more visible in the reflection and the like, overall it's not worth 5-10 FPS for pretty reflections that might obscure your vision of an enemy under water. 🤔
My laptop has been surprisingly fine in the 80+ degree wheather we've been having
Also sounds dumb but make sure to clear dust out / make sure it's getting enough airflow. I've had several computers accidentally go poof because of that.
torpid bear
Yeah, I get textureless loads all the time, albeit briefly
steady fossil
one good fry on the CPU can kill a machine sadly
wide cipher
Oh yeah. We have to constantly blow out the keyboard anyway because of my psoriasis.
wide cipher
But I can only clean so much - can't even lift the kb out to dust underneath because of the way they put it together
steady fossil
mmm I have one of those as well
wide cipher
And if you flip it over and start taking it apart the warranty void sticker is ridiculously placed. You can't get far at all.
steady fossil
My can of air can only get so much though. :I
I don't use the keyboard on my laptop because I'm too scared I'll accidentally damage it (I have an external keyboard that looks just like a laptop)
Yeah. That's the deal with mine. I think I MIGHT be able to take it apart, but I'm going to have to call customer support on that
wide cipher
Yeah that happened with my old laptop, the damaging.
steady fossil
I know I can't replace any hard drives or SSDs though or the warranty voids
wide cipher
Kitten knocked water out of my hand and some splashed on the keyboard. Everything was fine but the S key
Unfortunately I learned how often you need that key
steady fossil
ouch
well to be fair you CAN rebind it but it really screws with your "brain keyboard"
wide cipher
Yeah. We had oops insurance at least
steady fossil
kind of have to relearn how to type to do that and it's not easy already knowing how to type
wide cipher
That's actually how I ended up with this one
steady fossil
Hah I just remembered these really weird keyboards my school had once.
They were in alphabetical order
I don't even know where to find those
but they were terrible.
wide cipher
Were they Dvorak? Oh no that's worse
steady fossil
Nobody knew how to type at all. It was so funny.
It's like trying to type on a calculator
like those Texas Instrument ones and whatnot. :p
It was so funny because the teachers were complaining and everything
they were gone within a week but that memory burns in my mind trying to type on that
wide cipher
holy shit I came back to my laptop and I'm sitting here with overwatch open in the window and it says I have 50 summer loot boxes
I turn to my husband like what have you DONE
steady fossil
I want to try playing Ana. :p
And yeah I'm only daunted that its a FPS game and I have no experience in that
torpid bear
Nah, they've done very well with the character selection. If you're not good at fps, you can choose one of the tanks or supports
Reinhardt doesn't even have a ranged basic attack
's attack is a massive spread
There are options 😛
steady fossil
oh. Interesting. :o
torpid bear
Mercy you never even need to change to your pistol, you could just heal and damage boost people all game
wide cipher
My aim on Widomaker is awful
My scoped accuracy on Ana is 78% on average, which is much better
wide cipher
But there's plenty of things to play if youre 'new' to the concept.
It doesn't say.
Just tells you what it is at the end of the match.
I play a mix of both depending on the needs at the time.
torpid bear
Yeah, but you know whether you're shooting at mostly friends or foes
wide cipher
She's a support class, if your'e shooting at mostly foes you're doing it wrong.
Go widowmaker or hanzo for that. XD
wide cipher
But yeah, it's a mix. I don't really keep track, it's a frenzy of aiming and shooting, mostly.
I'm generally bad at things you have to aim accurately with, for the record. It's why I play pharah or tracer or Mercy or Torjborn, Symmetra, those kinds of people.
Rinehardt or D.Va for tanking.
I'm spelling him wrong, I know it. XD
Anyway it's never a bad time to start, it's a team game, and if people make you feel like crap you can block them and you'll never be matched with them again.
But I've had fewer negative experiences than I've had positive.
Especially now that things are quieting down and the super competitive people are in ranked play.
torpid bear
Yeah, I've had mostly decent times too
Haha competitive, never plan on going in there
torpid bear
I did my 'nope nope nope' 😄
wide cipher
Don't plan on playing any more than that. XD

you may as well correct that to "it's reality that people don't always know things they probably should know."
