@Unionhawk the problems with that sound chip have nothing to do with stereo, and composite and s video doesn't matter for sound, does it?

@GnomeSlice 7

@BenBrocka It should be 9. Two of them aren't images.

Can you refresh it? I was fiddling with it.

user image

Oh I see 9 then, 7 images a Zip and an ai

Sweet.

Thanks.

It's not like anybody is gonna download this stuff anyway, but who cares.

If anybody wants some simple coloured backgrounds, I made some you can use. Perfect for showcasing logos or designs. http://ge.tt/8SZJoiP1?c

Is there a good DS emulator other than Desmume? I can't deal with the sound lag

Woah TPP has a new method of showing how inputs are accepted

@BenBrocka It probably took longer for you to find that picture than it did to delete. :P

@Frank Pornhub isn't as good as everyone says. They have serious buffering issues.

@GnomeSlice ...

@Yuki xvideos 4 lyfe

Well, I guess I learned something today.

12:32 AM

Getting Vortexed right on top of an Arcane Sentry sucks.

@Frank Ouch

iTunes is such a resource-hogging piece of shit.

Journeyman Geek

eww itunes.

Unless you have a iphone. In which case, I'm sorry.

@Sterno I recommend Winyl

Really lightweight.

My favourite player, too.

I don't want anything. I just wanted to back up some photos from my iPad to my PC and when I plugged it in iTunes launched itself

and then it slows the system down and takes like 2 minutes before you can close it

12:43 AM

@Sterno You can disable that.

@JourneymanGeek Shouldn't that be, "Serves you right"?

Journeyman Geek

@Frank: presumably

for music, its foobar or bust for me

@GnomeSlice: itunes has its grubby claws all over your system

Like a candiru. Tho candiru don't have claws. And I wouldn't recommend looking it up

Nemp also seems pretty nice, but I haven't spent much time with it yet.

Just found it recently.

Winyl is the shit though.

Journeyman Geek

pfft

foobar

Q: How do you get music

I've looked at questions pn how to get music and the only answers were with club LOL. I don't have club LOL. So how can you get music without club LOL?

Q: ksp: saving number of kerbals in ship

Is there any way to save the number of kerbals along with a ship? I always forget that these get reset and launch with less kerbals than expected only to realize my mistake midlanding somewhere.

12:46 AM

@JourneymanGeek Try Winyl.

Before you trash it. =[

Journeyman Geek

I'm not trashing it. I'm saying foobar is just perfect

It's cyberpunk sunday and I'm streaming @BlackIceTheGame http://www.twitch.tv/patrickwlindsey

Q: When is the Crusader class unlocked?

I've found several crusader-specific flails and shields, but when I wanted to start a Crusader, I wasn't able to. I have the expansion pack pre-purchased already. Is the Crusader unlocked upon pre-purchase or when the Reaper of Souls DLC is officially released?

Proven Lands launched their kickstarter. Really hope they get funded.

Aug 8 '13 at 3:33, by DragonLord

@SaintWacko Darksiders II: Because of concerns that the game could be saved into an inconsistent state (example), I'm considering putting the save files into an SVN repository (version control).

... only I've now migrated to Git with full history.

12:54 AM

:D

To be perfectly honest, if the save files are binary, Git isn't an awesome option

I just killed my watch later queue! And then promptly added 11 more videos.

@badp They're binary, but it's not much different than using SVN. Git has no trouble handling binary files.

@DragonLord Eh. In Git you have to download all of the versions of all of the binary files. I guess that's the one part where SVN is slightly less awful.

(For text files, Git can work on diffs)

That said it's probably not a big deal for save files.

@BenBrocka I don't know, I guess not. I mean, if you can tell a difference in audio quality on YouTube for god's sake, that's already saying something.

The upshot of this is that it's much easier to create branches.

12:58 AM

Man, I wanna trade a lot of stuff to Gamestop. (Poor kid is poor.) Anyone know if they will take a PSP 2000, if I like wipe it and erase any sign it was modded?

@AshleyNunn Probably, but I don't know for certain.

Take it in and see if they take it

user image

@badp I had to go back to a previous save to write this answer, and I ended up 1) deleting the old save files checked out from the repository when I was finished, and 2) ran into an SVN conflict when I tried to go back to HEAD.

@Wipqozn castle porn

Swallow's Nest Castle, Crimea, Ukraine

@GnomeSlice close

user15026

1:00 AM

@Wipqozn pretty!

@DragonLord ouch.

@badp With Git, this is no longer an issue. I can just branch off at the commit on master holding the save files just before where I want to go back to, commit to that branch, and then return to the master branch when finished.

@DragonLord I have used Git in the past, yes :)

much more heavily than SVN, too.

@AshleyNunn I probably wouldn't do it

I've long resisted the switch to Git--see here for why--but I'm glad I've finally made it.

user15026

@badp Why not?

1:04 AM

@AshleyNunn Isn't it kind of actually illegal to mod consoles? DMCA and all that?

user15026

@badp Uh, yeah, but this is a software mod, so I can just wipe to factory and it is like it never happened.

@AshleyNunn uh. oh.

I wasn't aware that was a thing that existed.

@badp technically, kinda sorta, yeah. It's a bit of a silly law.

user15026

@badp Yeah, I didn't have to like open it up or anything - far as anyone sees, its a PSP 2000 with all the parts. :)

@AshleyNunn As far as I recall, the latest PSP CFW actually requires a specific bypass everytime it's reset. So as long as you remove the software to do that, you should be golden.

1:06 AM

yay rooting

user15026

@Frank Yeah, that's basically what I am taking out.

that said I don't know how much trade-in you would get

@badp At EB? Maybe 10% of it's actual value.

@Frank EB?

@badp EBGames. Bought by Gamestop a while ago.

1:10 AM

oh.

ebay shows PSP are selling for 20-50$, so we're talking... 2-5$?

user15026

@badp TIVS says $10-15.

user15026

I mean those numbers are a little out of date, but not bad

eh

user15026

I am lazy, I can't be arsed to list it and wait when like 15 other people are also selling the thing, and then meet them to exchange, and whatever

user15026

I have stuff I want, so I am totally okay with not getting a lot

1:14 AM

Your money, your stuff, your call

user15026

Yep :)

Personally the less business I do with GameStop the better I feel

and so far my business with GameStop has amounted to $0

user15026

@badp Fair enough, I get that it is not a model a lot of people want to support, but if I want physical games, I don't have many other options that aren't utter shit in terms of actual game availability

@AshleyNunn I said "personally!"

user15026

@badp I know :)

1:16 AM

Also I figured that Amazon was amazing on that side of the pond

user15026

@badp I dislike waiting.

user20683

Amazon has their own set of demons

user15026

(Like a lot.)

user15026

I am very much path of least resistance in many of my dealings.

@WorldEngineer hm?

user20683

1:17 AM

by and large if it has to do with tech it's a question of "Pick your evil megacorp"

oh, you mean, yeah, working conditions

user20683

because it's that or do the whole open sourceish thing

user20683

I mean economic voting

@DragonLord Git is the only versioning system I have used professionally. Please stop trying to sell Git to me.

@Unionhawk If you encode to 320k the audio's not too bad on youtube

1:19 AM

My apologies.

No worries; happens.

user15026

Best Buy is like...45 min by bus. Future Shop is also the same, in the other direction. EB is closer. The one I go to has nice people. They've treated me well, I get decent trade cred for my 3DS stuff. I am happy. They are likely terrible people, and full of all the spiders, but hey, if I go into there tomorrow and trade my pile of things, and end up with enough for everything my brain currently desires, life will be shiny.

@AshleyNunn That's usually been my reasoning for going to GameStop. It's either a 3 minute trip to GameStop, or a 45 minute drive to Best Buy, which may not even have what I'm looking for.

user15026

@Fluttershy Yep. I'd rather just go, get tehhh thing, play the thing, be happy :)

user20683

and honestly both of them are about as evil

1:21 AM

@WorldEngineer Both meaning Best Buy and GameStop?

@badp: And I've added a post-commit hook which automatically replaces the save files in the Steam userdata folder whenever I switch branches.

user20683

Indie game stores outside of miniatures are a dying breed

user20683

@Fluttershy yep

Closest Gamestop to my parents is about half an hour drive from where they live now. The closest one used to be over an hour.

user15026

@FAE Is there anything closer, for gaming?

user20683

1:22 AM

closest one to me is 15 minute walk

Console world problems~

cc: @spugsley

user15026

I mean my parents pretty much have to come to my city if they want games

@AshleyNunn Unfortunately, no.

I'm happy we finally got a GameStop in the city that's half an hour away though.

@Fluttershy She's already seen that one and died for it

1:23 AM

There's an independent-ish store in the same city that's not a chain that I like going to though.

Q: Iron branches versus circlet to start the game

Why get iron branches (+1 to all attributes for 50 gold) when you plan to get a circlet (+2 to all attributes for 185 gold)? Obviously cost might go into it a little bit, but you're saving gold and a courier trip in the long run if you get a circlet instead of 3 branches. You obviously also don'...

@badp I know, but it was either show her that, or show her this picture of Tom Hiddleston. I chose the former.

@Fluttershy You are truly an evil person

Just found a 1100 DPS fist weapon. Sadly, it's not an upgrade.

@Fluttershy I don't think you linked to what you think you linked.

1:25 AM

No, I think he linked exactly what he meant to link.

@badp I linked precisely what I meant to.

user15026

@Fluttershy oh god. <3

It's got around 4-5 stores scattered around western NY. If you go in, they've got shelves full of Atari games, Sega Genesis, NES, etc. The current gen stuff is not a huge selection, but if you're trying to find something old, it's a good place to try.

Consider your evilness way over my head

I guess I'm not very bright at 2:25am

user20683

@badp We are Americans. We know our evil.

1:26 AM

Oh! @badp, I was supposed to tell you about our fast food Italian places here. Those are a thing.

user20683

Sabarros...

user15026

@FAE Yeah, we have a "vintage" game store in town, but they don't take stuff past GC, so if I wanna trade this, I gotta suck it up and chill with the megacorp :P

The Fazoli’s brand was created in 1988 by Jerrico, Inc., a multi-brand restaurant group based in Lexington, Kentucky, and then parent company of Long John Silver's restaurants. Two years and five founding restaurants later, the Italian fast food concept was sold to Seed Restaurant Group, Inc. (SRG), also based in Lexington. SRG continued to evolve the concept, adding new Italian dishes, baked pastas, Submarinos sandwiches, pizza, entree salads, desserts and garlic breadsticks. In 2006, Fazoli’s was purchased by an affiliate of Sun Capital Partners of Boca Raton, Florida. Company histor...

Oh god, even worse

@Fluttershy I've had to survive on one in the Netherlands. It was surprisingly unawful, except for the Dutch's passion for overcooked food.

user20683

1:26 AM

@Fluttershy Oh dear God

shudder

I've also been to one in Munich. It was passable but not very good.

@AshleyNunn I'm not sure what their limit is. I don't think I've ever actually traded something in.

user15026

@WorldEngineer I liked it before the edit :P

@badp Which here?

1:27 AM

@AshleyNunn (I thought it was intentional!)

@FAE Whichever was in one of the Amsterdam train stations

user15026

@FAE I like to just go in there and look at stuff sometimes :) Got my sister a copy of HM64 for her birthday one year, she was the most delighted.

Not Zuid, not Centraal, the one in between along the metro >_>

@AshleyNunn I always browse in game stores, even if I'm not looking for anything.

@badp Interesting. I figured you'd be more shocked at the Americanized fast fooding of delicious Italian cuisine.

1:28 AM

@badp Uh... Sloterdijk? There's a bunch of Amsterdam stations.

user15026

@FAE Yeah, I am not a very good browser, because I always end up with stuff

@AshleyNunn Me too!

I'm terrible at window shopping.

That one and Amsterdam RAI are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head.

user15026

I have a friend who can tell you about how we went to browse in a Microplay once and I ended up dropping $120

Well if girl scout cookies aren't the biggest ripoff you've ever seen in your life holy damn

1:29 AM

user image

Does that look good?

I'm the worst about going to like... Walmart to browse, and then coming back with a bluray.

user20683

@GnomeSlice The scheme really clashes

@WorldEngineer What scheme?

user20683

the stripes contrasting with the white

@FAE I want to say Amsterdam Amstel

user20683

1:30 AM

it's very busy

Yes. Amsterdam Amstel.

@Unionhawk Girl scout cookies are the best, and you should feel bad for saying otherwise.

@badp Ah, gotcha. I've never been there so I don't know what's there.

@Fluttershy THERE ARE LIKE 7 COOKIES IN THIS BOX

@Unionhawk Which kind?

user15026

1:31 AM

@Fluttershy I am the sadddest of beans that Canada does not get teh miraculous things that are GS cookies

@FAE It was called Alice's or something

@Unionhawk You got the wrong kind.

@Fluttershy Yes, I think so.

@badp Hm, dunno it.

If you didn't get thin mints, you got the wrong kind.

@AshleyNunn If you want an alternative, check out the Keebler Grasshoppers (I don't know if they have those there, but, mmmmm... generic Thin Mints)!

user15026

1:32 AM

@Fluttershy I dunno if we have those either, I have yet to consciously see a Keebler elf in any grocery stores.

Yeah, I got a box of those (I usually kill a box of them in a sitting or two), and the peanut butter thin mint wannabes. Which have exactly 15 cookies in the entire box.

user image

That looks better.

@FAE I get search hits for Vapiano, but that's the one I had in Munich

user20683

@Fluttershy Publix House Brand Mint Chocolate

and that one wasn't awesome.

I mean, again, okay topping, but the pasta was kinda sticky and gummy and eh.

1:34 AM

@Unionhawk I used to love Peanut Butter Patties but there were so few. :(

Yup.

@WorldEngineer Never heard of these, but I shall look for them!

user image

LessPop_MoreFizz

Oh god the Canada section of stick of truth is amazing.

user20683

@Fluttershy They don't operate in the midwest :(

1:35 AM

user20683

Kroger has no equivalent

I think voting to close this as "a question about unreleased content" kind of misses the point of that close reason.

Q: When is the Crusader class unlocked?

I've found several crusader-specific flails and shields, but when I wanted to start a Crusader, I wasn't able to. I have the expansion pack pre-purchased already. Is the Crusader unlocked upon pre-purchase or when the Reaper of Souls DLC is officially released?

@Sterno Ahyup.

That said, I downvoted it.

@GnomeSlice Haha, I tabbed back in to see this and thought it was a pride thing.

1:37 AM

Well, I'm glad me linking it here had the opposite effect and garnered it another close vote :P

oh

oh?

ns.nl/reizigers/reisinformatie/stationsvoorzieningen/stations/a/… says it is probably called "Juliet's" @FAE

@badp Oh, I do know that place, there's one in Leiden Centraal.

If it's what I'm thinking about it's way better than Vapiano.

Those are the two I've ever tried

1:39 AM

@Sterno Same here. The assumption that pre-purchase unlocks the class is ... rather funny.

@FEichinger I don't know if you've played, but they go out of their way to make it look like you should be able to play it.

(Did you know? McDonald's also offers pasta salad in Italy and claims they use Barilla pasta.)

@Sterno Oh, definitely. But then I'd still think it's related to the patch rather than "pre-purchasing the DLC".

Other than the texbox for the naming your crusader being disabled (and thus not being able to follow through on character creation)

(which, to be fair, should be enough to convey the point)

(I don't know who the hell would go to a McDonald's for pasta, though.)

1:40 AM

@badp I think I did actually get takeout there once too, it wasn't bad.

It's especially not bad when it's nearing 10pm and your kitchen has been a complete disaster for the last three weeks.

Ah yeah, I remember you mentioning that

Ah, memories.

(Also OV-chipkaart memories.)

@Sterno They've done that with a lot of RoS things. It's kinda annoying me

@FAE :/

1:42 AM

Especially so early before the release

That's not what I was going for lol

Gonna have a late ass dinner tonight

making something now

it will be ready after 9

Btw, @Sterno, it's in the CV queue, so you might want to do a Leave Open.

don't give a fuck

Walk out, pass card, "have a nice trip!", quick 180°, get out at the next station.

@GnomeSlice I was like "What does it meeeeeean... Oh wait, that's Gnome's thing."

1:42 AM

@GnomeSlice I'm just about to go get dinner myself

lol, "late dinner" "after 9"

@GnomeSlice Jochem and I eat late a lot.

@GnomeSlice Yeah! I cooked tonight too!

I think the Crusader thing would be most confusing if you didn't preorder, and just had the patch. Then you see this almost-enabled thing that you're even seeing loot for, and you'd wonder if you would have it right now if you preordered the expansion.

My family used to eat as late as anywhere between 10pm-12am.

1:43 AM

I'm making these frozen chicken things with shit inside them, and I'm gonna try and make some sidekicks pasta too.

In the summertime at least.

Because we'd be staying out working to use the daylight.

Late dinner here counts as anything after 10pm because my father had hiccups at work

LessPop_MoreFizz

Goddamnit. Beat Stick of Truth. Got 119/120 Facebook Friends and 29/30 Chinpokomon. I know the chinpokomon I missed and the last friend is the reward for getting all 30. :/

@Sterno That would make sense, too. But the assumption in the question, and the situation the asker is in, they don't go well together.

I think a more generalized "How does the Crusader class unlock?" might be a better idea there.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Can you get it without replaying the whole thing?

1:44 AM

(Then again, that might actually get into "unreleased content" territory.)

LessPop_MoreFizz

@FAE nope!

user15026

@GnomeSlice Listen to th package, and wait a few minutes to eat it like it says :)

LessPop_MoreFizz

It's a missable from about ~30% into the game.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Well, uh... gogo gadget NG+? Does it have NG+?

@Sterno it's sounding like RoS will allow play between those with and those without the expansion. Just not the last act. Is this correct?

LessPop_MoreFizz

1:45 AM

No NG+. Just a freeroam post game that won't let me go to the UFO. :(

@MBraedley I don't know for sure, but probably. But I imagine without the expansion you're level capped at 60.

@MBraedley That would make sense. That's how Blizzard usually handles expansions.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Well, shit.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Did you miss Barraco Barner?

@LessPop_MoreFizz Good thing it's a fairly short game? From what I've heard?

1:47 AM

I'm trying really hard to imagine the person who will still be playing Diablo 3 when the expansion hits, but won't be buying the expansion.

@AshleyNunn Yeah, it seems pretty straightforward. Thanks. :P

okay gonna go make stuff

@Sterno yeah, that seems reasonable too. You're capped in BL and BL2 without the DLC

user15026

@GnomeSlice I just get impatient, and don't wait, and the sauce is better if you wait

@AshleyNunn Heh

the chicken thing will take a lot longer than the pasta anyway, I'll just start it when there's about 10 mins left. It says the pasta stuff takes 7

@Sterno Hi!

1:48 AM

@Fluttershy is it? Could you play a LoD character with a standard character in D2?

@MBraedley Fairly sure you could, but it's been forever since I've played D2.

@Fluttershy And even then, who didn't have LoD?

No one played without LoD.

I can't wait for RoS

I got it so I could put my name on the weapon. But I hated the LoD classes. <_<

1:49 AM

@Fluttershy I seem to remember that you couldn't. Something about the gear added in LoD

@Fluttershy I played assassin. Two variants at that, although my traps assassin wasn't that great.

I was a Zealadin.

Anyways, off to bed.

@MBraedley Me too! Goodnight!

I remember playing a bit of Druid, but I honestly used Necro more than anything.

@FAE at least I'm going to bed at a reasonable hour. (glances over at @badp as well)

1:53 AM

@MBraedley Hush you.
