Me, this evening, probably -- (link) - ty97 Jul 12, 12:31 1

Big game update for SW: Galaxy of Heroes is available. Mods now part of the game. - ÜMLaut Jul 12, 12:29 17
- I was about to say I couldn't see any updates.. - Marlowe Jul 12, 12:39
- whoa, tons of updates -- nm - ÜMLaut Jul 12, 12:34 1

  - I want the black stormtrooper but I am only in the 30s still -- nm - Bacon Jul 12, 12:35 6
    - First Order Tie Pilot? Hits like a mofo. -- nm - ÜMLaut Jul 12, 12:35 3
      - Is he f2p? I need to look that up. -- nm - spamlet Jul 12, 12:37 2
        
        yes, but a grind--only available through his hard battles - ÜMLaut Jul 12, 12:38 1
        
        Ugh. Someday I'll get RG up to 6 stars. Someday. -- nm - spamlet Jul 12, 12:39
    - NM thought this was Battlefront Star Wars -- nm - Bacon Jul 12, 12:35 1
      - yes--those are definitely two different games -- nm - ÜMLaut Jul 12, 12:37
  - *sigh* Only at 60 so far. Still have not hit the one month mark, though. -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 12:33 5
    - Jar Jar -- nm - gerald Jul 12, 12:35
    - Are you in a guild? If not join ours! -- nm - spamlet Jul 12, 12:34 3
      - I am in one that is running level 3, then 4, then 3 raids. That is about right for me for now. - Spawn Jul 12, 12:35 2
        
        If you have me as an ally you can see. We are running 6 (too tough) and 5 (about right) right now. -- nm - spamlet Jul 12, 12:36 1
        
        Ah, Mercs of Mak. Got it. Will do. -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 12:39
It's also new phone day!!! G4s for the wife and me. Note: This has nothing to do with Pokemon GO. - Shaun Jul 12, 12:28
[deleted]
so, Pokemon Go will be the thing that finally makes the USA go metric. -- nm - Andie Jul 12, 12:23 3
- "The entire reason we fought the Cold War was so that we wouldn't have to use the metric system" -- nm - prayformojo Jul 12, 12:25
- Walk 10m into the middle of the street. Fly 15m through the air. - Will Hunting Jul 12, 12:25
- meh. the distance tracking is so imprecise anyways it's not like we're planning an X mile walk to incubate - oblique Jul 12, 12:24
I forget, is there a way to expand the HSX trade history beyond 30 days? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 12, 12:19 5
- used to be. HSX killed it, obvs -- nm - gerald Jul 12, 12:36
- I'm not sure these days; but, in case you don't already know: if you just want to see what you paid for something, you can enter its symbol on the - b. Jul 12, 12:23 3
  - Nah, i'm looking for a total list for the last 75 days or however long we've done the summer contest. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 12, 12:24 2
    - I know the old way we were able to do it no longer works -- nm - decline Jul 12, 12:25 1
      - Son of a pokemon go'ian! -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 12, 12:25
And I've got an egg - ty97 Jul 12, 12:13 28
- Are eggs rare or something? - ReluctantCynic Jul 12, 12:20 5
  - regular ones are not. Lucky ones are -- nm - decline Jul 12, 12:21
  - *shrug* I have no idea what's going on with this game. - ty97 Jul 12, 12:21
  - I get a lot at my stops, too. -- nm - mara Jul 12, 12:21
  - not really. ty97 is old and slow -- nm - oblique Jul 12, 12:21 1
    - true! -- nm - ty97 Jul 12, 12:21
- Go into your pokemon list, tap on eggs at upper right, tap the egg and start incubating it. You'll see how far you have to walk for it to hatch. -- nm - mara Jul 12, 12:17 1
  - (you can also just swipe left/right between tabs) -- nm - decline Jul 12, 12:18
- put it in an incubator (you should have one unlimited one) -- nm - oblique Jul 12, 12:16 18
  - I'm level 3. Do I have that. And how? -- nm - ty97 Jul 12, 12:16 17
    - lol. You have to walk 10 miles to do it! -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 12:17 7
      - 2km, 5km, or 10km depending -- nm - oblique Jul 12, 12:18 6
        
        so frickin' far -- nm - decline Jul 12, 12:19 5
        
        See, I was trying to make it sound *worse* so ty would not flip the f out when he found out it was less. -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 12:22 4
        
        I've already walked 2.6km today! -- nm - ty97 Jul 12, 12:28 3
        
        rookie mistake -- nm - oblique Jul 12, 12:28 2
        
        I had real life places to be! -- nm - ty97 Jul 12, 12:29 1
        
        "Sorry sir, I can't walk over there right now, my incubator isn't running" -- nm - oblique Jul 12, 12:30
    - click into where you view your Pokemon. There is an Egg tab at the top - oblique Jul 12, 12:17 8
      - while you're educating - the only way to nab new balls, if you're out, is from stops or buying them? -- nm - b. Jul 12, 12:21 6
        
        yup. the stops regen every 5 minutes though so if you're spending any amount of time near them you can rack them up pretty fast -- nm - oblique Jul 12, 12:22 1
        
        I love having one across from my place. I can access it from my couch -- nm - decline Jul 12, 12:23
        
        or leveling up -- nm - decline Jul 12, 12:21 3
        
        can that happen without nabbing more beasties with balls? -- nm - b. Jul 12, 12:24 2
        
        no -- nm - oblique Jul 12, 12:25 1
        
        that's what I thought, thanks! :) - -- nm - b. Jul 12, 12:26
      - Yeah, I can't incubate right now. -- nm - ty97 Jul 12, 12:18
- And I've got an eag -- nm - WSS Jul 12, 12:16
Is the lack of Kaigee's site the reason for such huge adjusts today? Can't believe players can't calculate their own bonds. -- nm - Meg Jul 12, 12:12 8
- They had so far to go on many of them. Brooks adjusted down significantly like a month ago. - Will Hunting Jul 12, 12:13 5
  - yah, I think that's it; and, in any case, I've been using howprofitable since kaigee went intermittent - no issues. -- nm - b. Jul 12, 12:16 4
    - I found a bug in howprof today.. - Marlowe Jul 12, 12:24 1
      - ah, yes, I should have mentioned that - it's pretty rare, and I just do the math for those, if kaigee isn't available. - b. Jul 12, 12:25
    - link? -- nm - Beaker Jul 12, 12:21 1
      - howprofitable - Will Hunting Jul 12, 12:22
- I guess those that can set their positions after the last adjust while the price was still frozen. - Meg Jul 12, 12:13
- Can't Bond, Pokemon! -- nm - Beaker Jul 12, 12:12
The FBI has officially closed its D.B. Cooper case after 45 years. -- (link) - ÜMLaut Jul 12, 12:10 2
- ANOTHER crime Comey has decided not to indict Hillary for?!?! -- nm - Ender Jul 12, 12:24
- phew -- nm - Jimmy James Jul 12, 12:11
groiny from B2, Cesar Romero is the 2nd best Joker, only behind Ledger - amoxy Jul 12, 12:07 24
- I'd be more excited about Suicide Squad if The Joker weren't in it. - David Jul 12, 12:12 23
  - Oh, did you see it? - Spawn Jul 12, 12:17 1
    - Nope. -- nm - David Jul 12, 12:20
  - you can't have Harley Quinn without the Joker. -- nm - groiny Jul 12, 12:15 20
    - Since I am not as immersed in the lore, Why Not? -- nm - amoxy Jul 12, 12:24 8
      - she is obsessed with the Joker, he is kind of part of who she is. -- nm - groiny Jul 12, 12:27 7
        
        But that's such a blatant part of her character, if you need to still show the Joker, she's not being written or acted well enough. - Will Hunting Jul 12, 12:29 6
        
        If the stories are true he's going to knock it out of the park. -- nm - Remlik Jul 12, 12:36
        
        Exactly. -- nm - David Jul 12, 12:34 1
        
        if they want to delve into the origins of Harley Quinn, which it appears they are doing.... - groiny Jul 12, 12:35
        
        I am hearing much different stories than you are. - groiny Jul 12, 12:32 2
        
        I mean more in the context of the stupid 'crazy' bullshit he'd do on set. - Will Hunting Jul 12, 12:38 1
        
        Leto's nuts. Always has been. -- nm - Remlik Jul 12, 12:39
    - You can and you should. -- nm - David Jul 12, 12:19 7
      - everything about Harley Quinn is tied to the Joker, you would be taking a huge part of the character away. -- nm - groiny Jul 12, 12:28 6
        
        What you do is tether her rather than telling her story without him. - David Jul 12, 12:32 5
        
        Well since they're doing her origin here, he is a key character in that. So he belongs in the first story with her. no question. If she does get her - Remlik Jul 12, 12:37
        
        I would argue that changing the whole makeup of the character would be even more stupid. -- nm - groiny Jul 12, 12:33 3
        
        I mean, you could argue the sun is blue, but that's not the conversation here. -- nm - David Jul 12, 12:34 2
        
        it would be akin to telling a Spider Man story and ignoring the fact that his Uncle is killed. - groiny Jul 12, 12:38 1
        
        Harley, as part of an emsemble...shouldn't need an origin story. - Will Hunting Jul 12, 12:40
    - I think you could spoils? - Will Hunting Jul 12, 12:18 2
      - I agree they could have gone that way. -- nm - Remlik Jul 12, 12:38
      - iirc they adapted the animated Batman: Assault on Arkham movie, which had The Joker in it. - Shaun Jul 12, 12:23
Bismack Biyombo 4 years $70 Million with the Orlando Magic *finger wag 4 Life* -- nm - Beaker Jul 12, 12:07
Pokémon Go Players Are Waging War Over The White House -- (link) - Beaker Jul 12, 12:01
Today is the day where I say the same thing to the IT guy and he begins to understand after the 5th time I say it. -- nm - Diva Jul 12, 11:50 6
- Any tats? -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 11:52 4
  - I licked them all. -- nm - Diva Jul 12, 11:53 3
    - That's a feature, not a bug. -- nm - TorBaron Jul 12, 12:00
    - *beams with pride* my girl! -- nm - Epiphany Jul 12, 11:58
    - Well done. -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 11:53
- You wanted miracles, I give you the I-T department. -- nm - budice Jul 12, 11:51
I think this Pokemon Go thing is fascinating and think it would be great fun. I also know it would ruin my life, so I'm avoiding playing. -- nm - pmb Jul 12, 11:50 10
- [deleted]
- It will be interesting to see how quickly it becomes dominated by very active players. Already I can see getting into a gym is difficult - oblique Jul 12, 11:59 5
  - you know what I am getting shades of....*spoiler* - Epiphany Jul 12, 12:02 2
    - This shit is coming faster than we know. You should go read Daemon, btw. -- (link) - oblique Jul 12, 12:04 1
      - "I'll transfer a 1200CP Jigglypuff to you if you will put on a ski mask and deliver this message..." -- nm - Ender Jul 12, 12:21
  - I should get busy then since it's technically not out yet here...I could own all the gyms!!! - Shaun Jul 12, 12:02 1
    - it's pretty lopsided. my son just finds and discards wild pokemon 2-3x better than my best one because he's higher level -- nm - oblique Jul 12, 12:06
- me too - its enough fun just watching the spectacle of it all -- nm - Epiphany Jul 12, 11:57
- this - so this. -- nm - Diva Jul 12, 11:53
- one of us...one of us... -- nm - decline Jul 12, 11:51
I would give hard real-life money for one click 'reverse position' button on HSX. - Andie Jul 12, 11:49 2
- Hell. yes. -- nm - Shaun Jul 12, 12:01
- "Hey Amazon Echo, reverse position" -- nm - budice Jul 12, 11:50
Amazon Echo uses - David Jul 12, 11:48 21
- hue lights!! -- nm - unbreakable mandy jones Jul 12, 11:54 2
  - I'm curious. What exactly do you use those for? I mean short of a modern clapper, I fail to see the utility in controllable lighting - oblique Jul 12, 11:55 1
    - To me the biggest advantage would be when travelling to have lights go on and off in the house. -- nm - pmb Jul 12, 11:57
- It runs bath water? - Spawn Jul 12, 11:53 10
  - We use it to set alarms for when we have to leave the house to do something. It is strangely liberating to have to stop watching the clock knowing it - oblique Jul 12, 11:54 9
    - ... I just *know* when it is time. -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 12:01 1
      - ik, r? "I own several clocks" -- nm - Beaker Jul 12, 12:04
    - i just do that with voice on my phone - 'set alarm in 10 minutes* -- nm - Andie Jul 12, 11:56 6
      - *nods* also requires you to have your phone on you at the time and (at least for me) push a button to activate. Not always the case for me -- nm - oblique Jul 12, 11:57 5
        
        yes, pushing a button is incredibly labor-intensive. - Andie Jul 12, 11:58 4
        
        judging by how little we push the buttons on the microwave to time things now...yeah :) -- nm - oblique Jul 12, 12:00

        Fine. (__________o__________) -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 12, 12:14
- your oven doesn't have a timer? -- nm - decline Jul 12, 11:52 3
  - It does but we vastly prefer the Echo. -- nm - David Jul 12, 11:54 1
    - does it make time go faster or something? -- nm - decline Jul 12, 12:26
  - The oven doesn't respond when I say "Set a timer for 30 minutes" -- nm - oblique Jul 12, 11:53
- I should use the To-do thing. We've been using Avocado on our phone forever but being able to add things using voice at home would be nice -- nm - oblique Jul 12, 11:51
- What to-do app do you use with it? -- nm - spamlet Jul 12, 11:49 1
  - The Alexa app. -- nm - David Jul 12, 11:54

Whoa. Up 9.3M today after readjusting bond positions. I'll go up 0 spots in LTD. -- nm - Shaun Jul 12, 11:44 4
- I went up 5 spots yesterday. There are some inactive ports that you'll be coming up on. Up $11.5M today. -- nm - MDH Jul 12, 12:21 2
  - Ooo shiny. You need to stop doing so well. I was within 5 once I think...not so much now. -- nm - Shaun Jul 12, 12:26 1
    - Hah, thanks. I've been on it the last few weeks. I think we got down to something like $18M between us at one point. -- nm - MDH Jul 12, 12:30
- I was holding BHADE the wrong way. Whoops! -- nm - TorBaron Jul 12, 12:01
