Q: How do I parse a byte array removing all non-ASCII bytes?

I'm trying to log a bluetooth connection in an Android app (non-malicious, it's logging diagnostics). However, the transmissions and responses are in byte arrays and contain non-ASCII bytes. Trying to log the raw byte array gives about 20 spaces between every other character. How can I remove ...

Q: Know which map type you are playing on civ5

When I play CIV5, I always start a game via the Mods menu. The Setup screen under mods lists a whole lot more maps types. I have it set to random. However, i am no so sure how random it is or if it is selecting random from that list or random from the regular single play setup game list. (Which ...

@RebeccaChernoff - are you still around? I have a question for you.

Okay, I'll open this up to everybody. How am I supposed to respond to the individual questions asked in the town hall chat? Just with an @RebeccaChernoff ?

@RavenDreamer Reply to it using the reply arrows

Oooh, I see now. I think.

If you can't access them through the UI, check the permalink and use :<id> to make the reply directly.

Didn't know that worked like that. Okay, neat. Think I got it. Thanks, @GraceNote.

No problem, if you need any more assistance just let me know. ♪

1:00 AM

That reminds me - I was browsing through the Dwarf Fortress wiki, and I found a page covered with ♪ annotations. I was surprised. Alas, it turns out that they were simply footnote references.

I've yet to spend any time on Dwarf Fortress that is doing anything other than reading about Bronzemurder or Boatmurdered.

Then you need to acquaint yourself with Oilfurnace posthaste! It's the sequel to Bronzmurdered.

@RavenDreamer !!! you have a Gravatar now!

@LessPopMoreFizz I pimped my Gravatar.

LessPop_MoreFizz

!!

Not sleeping tonight.

Maybe not ever.

And now none of you will either.

1:10 AM

Thankfully it's not loading

LessPop_MoreFizz

Flagged? Really?

Quick! Everyone spam the chat until it goes away!

Oh, wow. That was quick.

...unfortunately it loaded when I tried to open up the flag thing.

I didn't recognize those people, but I am betting they were politicians.

They were.

1:14 AM

Should I even ask what that was

Hi @LessPop!

I guess this isn't the best time to talk about how We Bros.

@GraceNote were there just 12 questions in total?

user20683

@Mana

@WorldEngineer That's...a work of art.

user20683

It's based off a trio of characters who just sorta show up when two characters have had a fight

1:22 AM

@RavenDreamer Probably, yes

Hunh. Just met my new neighbors. I went to middle school with one of them.

Small world, I guess.

user20683

Yeah I get weirded out by stuff like that

user20683

my roommate summer after freshman year wound up being my roommate again sophomore year completely at random

Well, I suppose it's for the best. One can never have too many cute redheads in one's life.

user20683

I'd star it a 1000 times if I could

1:28 AM

My femshep is a redhead too, and she kicks ass.

user20683

my original one was

user20683

my other one is a sort of middle eastern/latin look to her

user20683

so black hair was the order of the day

user20683

I really should buy Civ 5

I need to find a way to maybe hack my save file and give her back her scars.

user20683

1:29 AM

if only so I can answer SE questions

Apparently, not turning over the collector base was such a powerful karmic bonus that her scars completely healed.

user20683

yeah I always play Paragon anyway

user20683

Snarky paragon but paragon non the less

Mass Effect has done the best at having the "evil" choice not being the, "I kick babies because I can" vitriol that so many other games fall prey too, but it's still got issues.

I don't want being a total badass to revolve around, "Okay, I'm evil. Now pay me." vs. "No payment necessary".

Hm. That actually has the beginnings of a social psychology experiment in there.

user20683

yeah

user20683

1:32 AM

I liked Mass Effect's approach over Dragon Age though

user20683

way way too many Sophie's Choices for a High Fantasy

I haven't beaten dragon age origins for the simple reason that I played mass effect first

And I can't stand that dragon age doesn't have voice acting for the main character.

user20683

that was jarring but I struggled through

Also, They have a little bit of "chainmail bikini" syndrome.

user20683

yeah

user20683

1:33 AM

oddly the best example of avoidance of that syndrome was Warhammer Online

user20683

the characters with heavy armor were "ARMORED"

It's the "armor, but with cleavage" as opposed to "armor barely covering anything", but it's still there.

user20683

aye but from a defensive standpoint you don't want clevage

Yeah, that's my beef with it.

user20683

it would direct the blow toward the center of the chest

1:34 AM

It's better, but it's still sexist.

user20683

the Dark Elf Female Black Guard has no cleavage

I think it's totally possible to have sexy armors WHICH FUNCTION AS *@$#@ ARMOR.

user20683

I mean she has tits but they are under a standard renaissance breast plate

I'll be damned if I can find a reliable source for that kind of art, though.

1:56 AM

@WorldEngineer I always thought of dragon age as mid-low fantasy

@Wipqozn GOD DAMN YOU.

It's @GnomeSlice! Get him!

:O

@GnomeSlice

@GnomeSlice

Dyargh, I missed the entire town hall discussion.

My mother was angry when she got home as usual, and basically booted me off.

Did @Mana win?

1:59 AM

:(

Idk, I was too busy playing @fredley's new Minecraft adventure map. :P
