Isn't there a base tag in the chat HTML that forces all links to open externally anyway?
How does that affect the app?

Q: How to recover a Xbox Account?

oStarZI fully deleted my account is there any way to get it back? I need my game of Skyrim back since I deleted it off.

 
Oh no, I'm down to 81 rift keys!
 
@PrivatePansy They open in the inappbrowser
> navigator.app.loadUrl('https://google.com/', { openExternal:true });
If I could call this we would be golden
but I can't
 
@RedRiderX I'm making a native app
 
@fredley Ah I see
Probably for the best
 
5:05 PM
I'll let you know when I've got it in a state to inject
 
Ah okay thanks
 
Then I'll give you access. Should be simple to test in-browser as all you need to do is inject the same two files (js and css)
 
@fredley True
It's what I'm doing now
 
 
@RedRiderX It's almost easier to inject a reference to a remote js file than a local one
 
5:11 PM
@fredley Hmm
Can we host it on github?
We wouldn't even have to update the app itself then
 
@Yuki What am I looking at here?
 
@RedRiderX I'll investigate, could do
 
@OrigamiRobot It's a big map, although I guess most people have run into this one.

Q: Are some items only available through "event" missions?

BradleyDotNETPlaying the standard promotion missions, I pretty much get the same set of items every time. For example, in Weapon Promotion Tier 3, I get the Riot Gun, Electro Sword, and Blast Rifle all the time. However, I can't find the blaster frame (also a tier 3). It could just be that I need to play tha...

 
@RedRiderX Basically up and running, just sorting out injection

Q: How Powerful is Mind Control?

BlackVegetableIn FTL, Mind Control (MC) level 1 is fine and dandy, and it is what I use almost exclusively. However, Mind Control levels 2 and 3 claim to increase HP and power. Do higher levels of MC last longer? How much bonus HP is a MC'd unit given, and does it last after MC wears off? How much bonus dam...

Q: Can I use Home Gold on one Xbox and Live Gold on another?

zpletanXbox Live Home Gold lets you set one Xbox One as your home Xbox, so that anybody logged into it, whether or not they have Gold themselves, can have your Gold privileges. Is it possible to set my One as the home machine, log in two non-Gold users, then log in on another Xbox with my Gold account, ...

 
...99 spirits is a pretty wat game
It opens up like your average dialogue-heavy context-free kind-of-shitty JRPG with a suitably wat interface, then you are introduced to the game mechanic and... wat.
 
@RedRiderX Getting there, just getting a verification that injection is actually working
code soon
 
That is the Edgar Allan Poe statue that will be going up in Boston.
Or rather, a model of what it will look like.
 
Also whitelisting all the urls for auth...
 
5:27 PM
Oh right
That would help
 
There's quite a few...
 
Yep

Q: What is friendship affinity?

KatieKThe Summoner class has one or two skills about increasing friendship affinity, and I've also seen one or two messages about affinity increases after summoning a Friend. What is are the benefit and effects of affinity, and what actions will increase it?

 
@Fluttershy That looks like a scene out of an action film.
 
@RedRiderX .endsWith() exists and is useful
 
5:31 PM
The typical slow-walk-while-an-explosion-goes-off-behind-you scene.
 
@fredley Ah it would be yeah
 
@RedRiderX Down the line I'll need to make it so that the app understands if you are logged in or out
Javascript can callback to the Java code so this shouldn't be complex
Because otherwise external links to Google/Facebook etc. won't work
 
@Yuki You can't see in that picture, but the back of the briefcase has papers spilling out of it, and a heart on top.
 
@fredley Hmm
 
@Fluttershy cc: @AshleyNunn
 
5:34 PM
I am in a app
 
user15026
That's rather awesome
 
Hey nice
 
Injection not working yet, but at least I can log in
 
user15026
@Fluttershy It so looks like it could be an ad for a really ridiculous over the top Poe action movie or something
 
(cc: @Sterno)
 
5:38 PM
#lifehacks
 
Script is being injected but not run...
 
Hmm
 
@Fluttershy He needs a lifehack for putting it on fast
 
@Sterno That'd be handy.
 
@fredley Make a script to run it!
 
5:39 PM
That said, I actually tried it, and it was pretty effective. <_<
 
@RonanForman I have scripts!
They aren't scripting hard enough though
 
@Fluttershy I already do this.
 
Woo it is injecting
Think it was just alert not working in a webview
 
Oh
 
But I'm getting log output
Right
 
5:41 PM
I JUST USED A MAGIC SWORD TO DEFEAT A PAIR OF PANTS
 
Time to commit some code
 
Strange
 
Tie your shoes like this
 
I don't tie my shoes.
 
@OrigamiRobot I do! It makes me feel special but probably isn't that much better.
 
5:42 PM
@RonanForman It's definitely faster.
 
user15026
@Fluttershy That makes me want to find the article I read about the differences between how ladies often take off shirts and how men do, and how it is related directly to the design of the shirts
 
@Fluttershy Oh, so you're one of those heel destroyers?
 
@RedRiderX Oh btw Android Studio time for you
good luck
I can send you an apk though, once it's a bit more set up
 
Ah okay
 
I'm loading the js file from my server, but will update to github once I have an address
@RedRiderX pushed
 
5:48 PM
@OrigamiRobot I am not.
 
He doesn't tie his shoes because he has horseshoes. Duh!
 
I use method K.
 
@Fluttershy How do your shoes not fall off?
 
@RonanForman They're good shoes.
 
5:53 PM
@Fluttershy Why would you do anything but H?
 
I use the method of not having shoes with laces
 
sup, guys! do you know any game database sites with ratings and such? Something you would recommend?
 
@RonanForman H is too much work. Plus, the knot sits right on the top of your foot. It's uncomfortable.
 
I'm looking for some games for my younger sister and I don't know what to propose
 
user15026
I hate my current shoes, they never stay tied. I think it is because the laces are too round and slide-y
 
user15026
5:54 PM
Slippery. That was the word I wanted.

user15026
@user1306322 What sort of ratings?
 
user15026
@user1306322 Does she like anything in particular?
 
good/bad game ratings, not age restrictions
 
user15026
@user1306322 There are a few of those, so I was trying to figure out if there was any other requirements.
 
user15026
But I leave work in 5 min and am getting pastry with a friend, so I am not going to be of use much longer. (Not that I really look at these things anyway)
 
5:56 PM
@fredley Hmm
Now to learn how to android
 
@user1306322 If you're just looking for review scores, gamerankings.com isn't terrible, or Metacritic, obviously (but that doesn't go back as far)
 
@RedRiderX You don't actually need to
I've got it as far as loading the js file
 
maybe I'm asking the wrong question then
 
I'll get a binary up that you can use to do js stuff
 
definitely, I'd like to find a site like IMDB or MAL but for games
 
5:58 PM
@fredley I thought I should be cloning this project and opening it in the android ide you linked to
 
user15026
@user1306322 What information are you wanting from the site?
 
user15026
Because I tihnk getting a clear picture of that would help
 
@AshleyNunn reliable ratings mostly
 
@user1306322 Ratings are purely opinion, so if review scores aren't good enough I'm not sure what any other site could give you that would be more "accurate"
 
user15026
Alright, my day is done :) Time for caaaaaaaake
 
5:59 PM
so that if it says a game is 9/10 it's not actually a Citizen Kane of game industry
 
user15026
@PanicBomb That was kinda what I was thinknig too
 
user15026
@user1306322 .....I am confused.
 
@AshleyNunn Citizen Kane is terrible from standpoint of a contemporary viewer, as I've been hearing recently
 
user15026
@user1306322 But then again, people who appreciate classics would say it is amazing for what it is
 
user15026
So.
 
user15026

Q: I can increase my skills beyond 100% in Original Fallout?

StarkersI'm used to only being able to incease my skills (Small Guns, Big Guns, Sneak, Barter etc) to 100% and no more in Fallout 3 and NV (At least, I think that's the case...), however, in the original Fallout there appears to be no cap at all on how high I can raise these skills. I love Big Guns, but ...

 
@RedRiderX Nope, just edit the js file
 
@Krazer I assume the release date is jp only?
 
6:01 PM
Push changes, app will reload from github
 
Or it should
 
@BenBrocka AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
 
well, usually there are alot less viewers who are like that and many more who would say it's not that good to give it even 8/10, so the average rating would be much closer to a rating that an average viewer would give it, and I happen to be looking for average ratings, for which IMDB is usually the place to go (with very few exceptions, but still)
and so I'd like to find such a site with ratings for games
 
I'm going to immerse myself in water for a while. Probably won't be back for a while, which means it almost certainly won't work
bye!
 
6:03 PM
@user1306322 IMO the gaming community is hilariously reactionary when it comes to user reviews
Metacritic user reviews are generally all either 0/10 or 10/10
"the main character's hair color is wrong, 0/10"
 
well, that's kind of the problem I am facing
 
@fredley Ah
 
"I haven't played the game but I liked the last one 10/10"
 
IT's a numbat
The numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus), also known as the banded anteater, marsupial anteater, or walpurti, is a marsupial found in Western Australia. Its diet consists almost exclusively of termites. Once widespread across southern Australia, its range is now restricted to several small colonies, and it is listed as an endangered species. The numbat is an emblem of Western Australia and protected by conservation programs. Classification The numbat genus Myrmecobius is the sole member of the family Myrmecobiidae, one of the three families that make up the order Dasyuromorphia, the Aust...
...of course it gets the picture of wall art not the actual animal
 
@BenBrocka Figures that thing would come from Australia.
That nightmare wasteland.
 
6:05 PM
I think it's kinda cute. Not as cute as a pangolin though
 
@PanicBomb Interesting point btw, I hope in the coming years a more reliable rating site will appear, because now it's really hard to trust users' ratings
 
@BenBrocka Real life Sandslash
 
@user1306322 Yeah, I think that in general the fact that there's no big "central site" like IMDB for people to flock to, combined with the attitude problems that the gaming fanbase has, sort of make the kind of thing you're looking for (which would be great!) seem sort of a distant future thing, if ever
 
@StrixVaria Huh that probably is what it's based on
 
@BenBrocka It just looked to me like a squirrel or something, but then NIGHTMARE SNAKE TONGUE
If you go into it knowing what to expect it's probably easier to see it as cute
 
6:10 PM
> We haven't yet completed a full tuning pass after the launch of Reaper of Souls. While we started with a few changes to some generators and single-target skills with the 2.0.4 patch, that doesn't mean we're done with evaluating all the classes and their skills.
Yeah, I mean, why would you tune your game before it comes out instead of months later?
 
I think their PR team is just running some tests on player response
 
@Sterno Although I agree with the sentiment that you should playtest and balance things as much as possible before release (which I'm not sure Blizzard did), when you launch to as big a player base as D3 has, people are going to find things that you didn't expect, and you will probably have to react to that.
There are still plenty of skills that are trash.
I hope they make them not trash. More viable skills is a good thing.
 
@StrixVaria True. Things like being caught completely unaware by the Shard of Hate show a lack of solid testing, though
I want more legendaries that are cool
I went through them all yesterday and it seems like there's about one worthwhile one, if that, in each armor slot
 
@Sterno Yeah, they could have done better initially, but iterating from where it is now is still probably for the best.
They really need each legendary to have some kind of unique ability.
 
And sets in general are crap
Why they think something like "250 vitality and 100 resist all" is an awesome full set bonus is a mystery to me
Sets are the perfect places to have some special effects and procs for completing a set, rather than stat bonuses that amount to a gem or two
 
6:15 PM
Some set bonuses are amazing and other ones are so bad.
 
and they should just remove sockets from rings and single sockets from pants/chests, because that's just trolling people. :P
 
The WD full set bonus is that Soul Harvest instantly "eats" your applied DoTs for the rest of their remaining damage.
 
I still have not found a piece of IK
 
IK isn't the best barb set now, I think.
 
I've found 7 Blackthorne's now, though. 4 of them different
 
6:15 PM
Each class got a new set.
 
I've got four pieces of the earth set (but only two differents), but they rolled awful
They're like +400 armor, +800 life per sec, some strength, and maybe vitality or something
I probably should work on getting gear for an Ancient Spear build
Since it shouldn't be hard for me to hit about +80% damage on that skill
 
The new barb set's final ability:
> Furious Charge gains the effect of every rune.
Really?
That's all they could come up with?
 
Hrm. That with the Ancient Spear Boulder Toss would probably be awesome
since I think that charge would be a great fury generator
 
That set bonus requires 5 pieces, though.
 
Well, I haven't found any pieces of Raekor's either
I hate when legendary/set boots have +movement speed baked into them
 
6:20 PM
Furious Charge is also really awkward to use if you've ever used the Monk's Dashing Strike. Furious Charge has this annoying period after the charge where your Barbarian just stands there, not able to take input.
 
@red any luck?
 
@fredley Oh I missed that last comment
Derp
 
I hear the IK set is pretty good with Call of the Ancients ever since the pet buff
 
Hah
 
I saw a video earlier where the guy was using the Enchantress follower who was holding Maximus.
That actually sounds pretty good.
 
6:24 PM
@RedRiderX I'm off to the pub, but will probably have time for some drunk progress later...
 
@BenBrocka yes
 
@StrixVaria It's amazing for Hardcore because you can just let her tank stuff for you
and stay back
lunchtime
 
@fredley Heh okay
 
6:47 PM
@Krazer is a localization confirmed?
Does any PS Move game other than Octodad (and I think that sports game) support 2 moves for one player?
 
@BenBrocka My bad. It's coming for NA on April 30, 2014, May 1 for EU
cross buy and cross save are not supported for Child of Light in North America, according to Ubisoft
 
Huh, well apparently state is a reserved name in SourceMod.
@BenBrocka Didn't that Star Wars Lightsaber game support two lightsabers...?
 
@BenBrocka that bare-knuckle boxing game "Dukes" does, so I imagine other sports games like boxing might require two

Q: Is there a mod for Skyrim to have a easier skill menu?

oStarZI don't like the regular one, and I can't find one just a favorites menu and some other ones.

 
7:04 PM
@Krazer I meant the NIS Vita thing not child of light
they finally made one of those?
...wait, did it suck? I remember the Wii launch and Red Steel. Fool me twice...
 
@BenBrocka JP only, no localizations announced
 
@Krazer augh
NISA usually localizes just about anything though
 
@Sterno I have the mighty weapon from IK
 
 
naughty
 
7:16 PM
Hehe
@fredley I'm not sure if the the styles are not injecting properly, or I'm an idiot.
Probably the latter
 
@BenBrocka I must be missing something
 
@SaintWacko XP wallpaper + OSX UI
 
@BenBrocka Ah, right
 
you monsters
 
Hmm, Meta.SO doesn't appear to have a close reason for moving it to Meta.SE (i.e. a question that was migrated that should have stayed on M.SE)

Q: Dying in Dead Island

JohnIf you die in dead island is there a way for you to get out of the mission you are playing and return to free play, with out having to quit to main menu?

 
@Powerlord just use an Other flag. Surprised it doesn't have it listed, but they may not have wanted to make the association
 
@badp I was hoping this would be some of those ridiculous people who think they've figured out how to beat the system
I was disappointed
 
@BenBrocka My son did this on his frozen yogurt and offered me a bite.
 
like within seconds
 
@BenBrocka Awesome, thanks!
 
7:31 PM
@BenBrocka 5m 30s+ into flight
 
well I posted that 7 minutes ago
 
This is interesting... in TF2, apparently Arena mode cheats and just sets the game's round state to Stalemate.
 
@Wipqozn I love how he looks her in the eye
 
7:34 PM
Because in TF2, RoundState_Stalemate is what Sudden Death (which doesn't have respawns) uses.
 
@StrixVaria Isn't its damage based on your own damage, though? I'd expect a follower's damage would suck.
 
@Sterno No, followers have their own damage calculation.
I mean, it would be good compared to other things followers could do.
 
I said it weird but that's what I meant. It seems like it'd do shitty fire chain damage if it was on your follower.
 
But shitty fire chain damage is still better than anything else a follower can do.
 
@Powerlord not too surprised--already got code that works, might as well just use it
 
7:36 PM
I need that thing that keeps your follower from dying, plus Unity. Free 50% damage reduction!
 
Orbit achieved!
 
Unless they're dumb and stand in molten. Then it's a free 50% extra damage received!
 
@BenBrocka True... I was just writing some code for lazy people to detect certain game modes and things going on and wrote a quick test thing to gather info.
 
@BenBrocka some men just want to watch the pie slice

7:37 PM
People were on my PropHunt server, so I just ran it and noticed it was returning
Round State is: Stalemate (7)
 
@agent86 But that's cornbread.
 
@OrigamiRobot some men just want to correct agent86
 
@agent86 But I am a robot.
 
@OrigamiRobot some robots are easily confused for men.
 
I thought it was a bug until I realized exactly what it meant.
 
7:38 PM
I have heard this
 
I JUST MADE $.12 ON THE STEAM COMMUNITY MARKET!!!!!111one1
I can buy AOW3 in no time
 
9 weeks until Mario Marathon 7! :D
 
@Sterno that reminds me I have probably literally over 100 trading cards to sell
that might be literally ONES of dollars
psn flash sale, gotta check that out
 
My daughter should have informed me today's nap would be 3 hours instead of 90 minutes. I would have played more Diablo.

Q: Is damage reduction applied before Unity splits damage, or after?

SternoThere's a ring, Unity, that splits damage among all people wearing it. When does damage reduction apply for this? Let's say, for example, I've got a barbarian loaded up with armor and resists who is sitting in a molten pool that does 50,000 damage per second, but with all his damage reduction ...

 
7:48 PM
@BenBrocka "PSN"?
as in, are they subscriber only?
 
Playstation Network
I don't think the flash sales are ever PS+ only--and there's always a PS+ logo if the discount is only PS+/if there's extra discounts for PS+
You can't really put a price on feral Pomeranians, but if you have to, $0.99's a good one. Tokyo Jungle's a buck on PSN right now.
I should check this out, apparently Shu's a huge fan
 
DIABLO TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
 
@BenBrocka It's a pretty cool game. One of those "short, repeated playthroughs" types
 
@spugsley I'm jelly of your mad luck
 
@Krazer hahaha yeah that was a little ridiculous
 
7:55 PM
@PanicBomb I saw someone do a speedrun, it looked pretty amusing
 
@spugsley that ring was really nice. I have yet to get a single one of the element immune gear
 
@Krazer I have the arcane immune one. Which one does @spugsley have?
@BenBrocka I wish my cat would do that
 
@SaintWacko Fire ring and arcane poison amulet I think
 
@Krazer Wow, nice
 
7:57 PM
@SaintWacko I have a posion immune amulet bit the ring I found didn't have an immune effect
@Krazer or did it? :o
 
@spugsley no nm, fire just retores your resource
 
@spugsley Oh, is it the one that recharges your primary resource when you get hit by fire damage?
 
@SaintWacko I like when he looks at the camera like "yeah and WTF are you gonna do about it"
 
@Krazer :O
 
@spugsley I was mistaken D:
 
8:00 PM
@Krazer lol was gonna say, I would be INVINCIBLE
 
@red the latter
 
@BenBrocka drain the tub.
 
@spugsley getting tunnel vision from all the effects
 
Ooh, just discovered all sorts of neat stuff in the tf_objective_resource entity. Need to see what the m_bCPIsVisible array contains to see if it's accurate.
 
user58869
@Powerlord what is that?
 
8:10 PM
@Alex This alongside the m_bCPLocked array may allow me to find out which control points in Team Fortress 2 are currently active.
 
@SaintWacko I have cold immune.
 
Before, I thought I'd have to manually track the control points to find out which were active and which weren't. Which, since I'm lazy, I didn't want to do.
 
user58869
@Powerlord ummm... so you are using a programming language to play the game? or what? or are you making an addon to help you play it?
 
@Alex I write server plugins for Team Fortress 2.
 
user58869
8:17 PM
oh
 
Well, for all Valve games really, but some are TF2 specific.
 
user58869
that's interesting
 
@red do you need me to compile again for you?
 
@BenBrocka The performance capture in general is insane
 
8:33 PM
@PanicBomb These pics are cheating a bit--they're using Photo Mode which lets you pause, adjust angle, filter colors, change focus etc. Leads to lovely results
 
@BenBrocka I know, I've 100%'ed the game, I'm just saying
The game looks great and the facial animations especially so
 
I'll be glad when I can put my captures on USB (next FW update!). Twitter compression is harsh on some pics
one of mine
@PanicBomb the facial animations were fantastic. Really shows this gen can definitely look much better than last, despite some people saying it's "barely an upgrade"
 
Yep, especially when you consider what year-one games usually look like on new platforms
The end-of-gen games in 5 or 6 years are probably going to be crazy
 
Yeah. Eagerly awaiting Naughty Dog's stuff too. Also holy shit EVERY SINGLE GAME needs photo mode, it's so sweet
I hope Sony starts making it standard in WWS games or something. So good
pretty good plants
 
8:49 PM
the last sentence in the most recent What-If is awesomely badass for some reason
 
the effect of cool words like scoured
 
@red I'm adding in some mobile/tablet segmentation
Since for small devices it's probably better to work off mobile chat not full chat
I'm happy to start work on that and you carry on with tablet
 
8:56 PM
@Frank Oh, is that who that is?
 
@Saint Yep. His latest iteration.
 
@Frank I thought his mannersisms seemed familiar
 
@SaintWacko Check his listed website on his profile.
 
user15026
@Frank I dunno, I am a really bad person to defend either bit of that considering a lot of my answers have a similar "here's a quote for you" format, because, well, it protects against link rot, and isn't actually wrong....
 
@RonanForman I see
 
8:58 PM
 
Something feels icky about (immediate) self-answered questions where the answer is just a quote block
 
@Ash I'm just saying, adding something that's not a pure copy and paste is useful. I'm not sure if any of your answers are pure copy paste.
 
user15026
@Frank Oh, I am sure there likely are.
 
user15026
It's useful, sure, but it is very far from being any sort of requirement.
