[00:00] seems like i'm not the only one who thinks that the difficulty is a bit wrong in borderlands 2 [00:00] it's a bit weird when some NPC is a higher level and you can't even make a dent [00:01] apparently people who played 1 also had a similar conclusion [00:02] it's not even "hard" - it just takes forever to kill anything [00:02] i'm getting to the point where even normal grunts will take 4 headshots and keep going [00:07] yeah it was genuinely impossible on the xbox when me and friends got it [00:10] i find the best tactic is fire pistol everything until it sets on fire, then run away and wait for them to burn to death [00:10] repeat until everything is dead [00:10] doesn't work on bosses though, they have too much hp [00:12] for them, i lure them back to the entrance and then blast them with the car gun [00:12] even that can take like 10 minutes of constant rocket launcher blasts before they go down [00:17] why don't you just level up? :) [00:18] because grinding is boring [05:22] We are oft to blame in this, - 'Tis too much proved - that with devotion's visage And pious action we do sugar o'er The devil himself [05:25] oh not you again :( [05:38] daftykins, you seem to have a problem with Shakespeare. [05:38] why? [05:39] :D [05:39] He was a gay man? [05:39] happy? i care not for someones joviality [08:28] skeleton staff only this weekend as oggcamp is in town [08:33] indeed [08:34] our hotel room was a bit odd [08:34] maybe needs updating to the 21st century [08:35] oxford for ya [08:35] no power sockets by the bedside table [08:35] tourists pay anyway [09:16] morning boys and girls. [09:17] moin [09:17] moin Myrtti [09:18] is that finnish? because i am familier with the word from platt duutsch. [09:20] a package arrived \o/ [09:20] http://i.imgur.com/f7I8YWP.jpg [09:35] moin [09:36] moin popey === zmoylan-1i is now known as zmoylan-pi === webpigeon_ is now known as webpigeon [12:40] and on todays hilarious news, a skiddie just tried to DDoS my service which is behind cloudflare. [12:40] * Azelphur facepalms [12:46] they have to start somewhere :-) [12:46] hehe === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [18:24] * DJones settles down to watch Jack Ryan, Shadow warrior..Amazing how Alec Baldwin has gotten 30 years younger tranformed into Christopher Pine, I guess thats what happens when you've got NCC1701 available to time travel [18:26] * SuperEngineer settles down with takeaway... to watch Dr. Who at 8.30 [18:29] SuperEngineer: The takeaway will be cold by then [18:31] DJones: nope - it will be nice n warm in my tummy by then! :0 [18:40] * penguin42 swears at adb [18:41] penguin42: uh-oh! what's it not doing? :) [18:41] daftykins: Not talking to my phone [18:41] ooh-err, dev mode on? [18:42] daftykins: yep, little tick on the remote debug thing, I can su and get root from connectbot; and it was working last week; I can see it in the lsusb, I've got the udev rule, I can see the /sys/bus entry has perms and I've got the line in ~/.android/adb_usb.ini [18:43] hehe [18:43] sounds like all bases covered! [18:44] * penguin42 could draw a pentagon and place it in that [18:45] ..or draw a rubbish bin & place it in that! [18:46] SuperEngineer: Too nice a phone really for that [18:46] nah! [19:09] ahha, it needs the 0x before the id in adb_usb [19:11] D: [19:11] I wish adb would have some diags - any would be good [19:12] even with the env set it really doesn't help [19:22] hm, bbc2 is kinda odd right now. this isn't how I remember bbc docus [19:22] what's it on? [19:23] penguins! [19:23] oooh [19:23] but they seem to spend as much time showing you how they're hiding the cameras. which is unusual [19:23] I almost prefer it when she shots just seem impossible [19:23] :) [19:24] oh this one [19:24] ok, that's weird [19:26] shauno: There was a documentary a few weeks ago where they were doing international animal moves; and one of the sections was moving some Gentoo penguins from New Zealand to Birmingham; the Gentoo's really sound like old fashioned car horns - very much HONK! [19:27] poor Gentoos :( [19:27] I'd sound like a car horn if you relocated me to b'ham too [19:27] well, yes [19:29] XD [22:11] anyone got a recommendation for a good Ubuntu laptop? [22:12] my shortlist is currently Lenovo Thinkpad 1440s or Dell XPS 15 [22:12] would be interested in opinions of these, and other alternatives... [22:12] is that one of the Dells they sell with Ubuntu on? [22:14] no [22:14] I believe they sell Ubuntu on the XPS 13 [22:14] but I'm put off by the smaller screen size of that.. [22:15] TBH, it's also the biggest downside of the Thinkpad 1440s for me (screen is only 14") [22:16] finding a nice light 15" Linux laptop isn't so easy [22:16] people at work have 15" Macbook Pros, and I suppose I'm trying to find the best Linux equivalent to that... [22:17] but it doesn't seem easy [22:17] the Dell XPS 15 looks pretty decent - I'm actually worried by whether the screen res is too high... is Linux ready for HiDPI yet (really)? [22:22] no [22:23] marshmn: Which is the 1440 - I'm used to thinkpads starting with a letter and then 3 digits [22:24] marshmn, you mean 440s? [22:24] T440s, even [22:26] i've used linux on T440s, and on other recent dells
