@FAE do you ever get issues with your nails peeling (teh actual nail, not the polish)? If so, any idea what to do about it?

FAE

@AshleyNunn Like the ends splitting into layers or something else?

user15026

@FAE Yeah, the ends! It makes me crazy.

FAE

@AshleyNunn I used to have this problem a lot when I was younger, but it stopped for me and I'm not entiiiiirely sure why. I do know that the reasons can range from environmental (moisture differences, nail trauma) to like, internal health stuff (hyperthyroidism).

@AshleyNunn I do eat better now than I used to, and I know that in general will help nail health.

@AshleyNunn Then the standard nail care stuff like only file in one direction, use a nail moisturizer if you've been painting your nails a lot, cuz nail polish remover, even acetone free stuff, can dry your nails out and make them more prone to splitting.

fredley

You know how you're using regexes to check email addresses? Well things are about to get even more fun!

user15026

@FAE oh, maybe I will try the moisturizer :) I have to go to the pharmacy tomorrow anyhow so I will see if they have some

Yuuki

8:08 PM

@fredley Well, I never wanted to verify e-mail addresses anyway.

Ronan Forman

@fredley Reset seed as part of reset save?

fredley

@RonanForman Could do. Would be useful to be able to reset independently though for testing.

FAE

@AshleyNunn I just bought some recently too! I found a pretty cheap bottle, just Vaseline brand, shouldn't be too hard to find. :) Doesn't need to be a fancy brand with a jillion things in it.

user15026

@FAE Excellent, that is good to know :)

user15026

My goal will to be just get that and the pills I need without stopping to peek if any good colours are on sale. We will see how successful I am.

Ronan Forman

8:10 PM

@fredley If seeds are generate at startup then resetting the save will already make a new seed.

Batophobia

@RonanForman but then you lose all your items too

fredley

@RonanForman Yes, but it will also reset everything else, which might not be desirable in testing

FAE

@AshleyNunn Hahaha, good luck! Also also, be careful of reeeeeally cheap polish, because sometimes they put stuff like formaldehyde in there, and that's not so good for you. :(

fredley

@FAE ew really?

Is that allowed?

FAE

@fredley Yeah.

fredley

8:11 PM

@FAE wow

Ronan Forman

@fredley Okay, I'll add it in for testing.

user15026

@FAE I usually just check to see if the good brands have any colours on clearance, there are usually a few

user15026

Also, it freaks me out that they can put that stuff in there.

FAE

@AshleyNunn The 3 things to check for ingredients-wise are Dibutyl Pthalate, Formaldehyde, and Toluene.

user15026

@FAE Okay, I know what the last two are, but what is the first one?

FAE

8:15 PM

@AshleyNunn It's a plasticizer. You know how they tell you to avoid phthalates in cheap sex toys? Same kind of stuff.

Batophobia

@FAE ....

TIL

fredley

It's scary that most people will never know this

FAE

@Batophobia It's pretty bad, tbh. The sex toy industry isn't regulated at all, health-wise, so companies are allowed to get away with putting toxic plasticizers like phthalates in toys. :/

GnomeSlice

Crawl comes out on Steam tomorrow

user15026

@FAE Ah, okay. :)

user15026

8:21 PM

@FAE It's awful. I didn't know that at first, and I am so glad people in my life were like "yo don't put these things near your sexy bits"

2

Ronan Forman

@fredley Do I just need to make it make a new seed? Or do I need to do a whole new world.init()?

FAE

@AshleyNunn Yeah, I didn't know it for a long time either. It's really scary that there's no regulation and no consequences.

Batophobia

@RonanForman world.init

Ronan Forman

@Batophobia Okay.

fredley

@RonanForman Yeah world.init would be more useful

Batophobia

8:22 PM

otherwise the map won't update

user15026

@FAE It so is. :(

Batophobia

O_o player is not @ anymore

Ronan Forman

Hmmm, it's generating a new seed, but the map isn't changing.

Batophobia

@RonanForman ?

Ronan Forman

The seed is always the number 1.

Batophobia

8:27 PM

set world.seed=0 and then run world.init()

Ronan Forman

Math.ceil(Math.random()) will always return 1.

Why is that how you make the seed?

Batophobia

@fredley what did you do

Ronan Forman

Added the button, you can sort out actually generating a seed.

fredley

@Batophobia the seed wasn't defined correctly, but what you've proposed just borkens it even more!

Batophobia

@fredley making a random 10-digit seed?

Ronan Forman

8:32 PM

Why (9999999999-1000000000)+1000000000) rather than whatever number that actually is?

fredley

@Batophobia No! noise accepts a float between 0 and 1

Batophobia

@RonanForman random formula is Math.random() * (max - min) + min)

Ronan Forman

Then perhaps you should not ceil it.

Batophobia

you could do the math, but then changing it later requires you to fix it later

fredley

@RonanForman I've removed the ceil

Ronan Forman

8:35 PM

@fredley Now the sky's the limit!

fredley

@Batophobia General coding note: numbers like that in code are what's called 'magic numbers' and are a bad code smell. If you want to do something like that, define RAND_MIN and RAND_MAX and use accordingly

@RonanForman LIKE A ROOM WITHOUT A ROOF

Ronan Forman

@fredley clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap

Batophobia

@RonanForman New Seed button does not reset map

MBraedley

Does that make you two happy?

Ronan Forman

@Batophobia Then that's being don't outside of world.init() which needs to be fixed.

Oh no, the seed fix just hasn't been pushed yet.

user15026

8:47 PM

user15026

I have so many questions.

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn It probably means the pig it was made out of was a vegetarian.

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn naah, it's just ham made out of vegetarians

Wipqozn

@KevinvanderVelden Yeah, vegetarian pigs.

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn naah, humans already taste like bacon, close enough for ham

user15026

8:52 PM

@Wipqozn It's chicken flavoured vegetarian ham. I just what.

Ronan Forman

It's just meat substitute, like quorn, I don't get where the confusion is.

@AshleyNunn O_o

@RonanForman read closer

Ronan Forman

@fredley The chicken flavour bit?

fredley

9:00 PM

@RonanForman yes

@Blem pretty accurate

Ronan Forman

It's a vegetarian one of these, which is ham.

But flavoured like chicken.

fredley

Wait, it is ham?

Batophobia

@RonanForman why call fake meat ham if it tastes like chicken?

Ronan Forman

@Batophobia Because it's shaped like ham.

At least that's what I thought as soon as I saw that.

fredley

@RonanForman No, it's shaped like a sausage

ham:

Pork:

It looks like neither of these things

Batophobia

I once played a game set in a Oriental setting, where you controlled a party of samurais, each with special abilities, like spells or special moves. It was an RPG where you fought monsters to reach the evil guys dojo in the middle of the map and won that way. It could be played competitively as a race by up to four players. Anyone know what game that is?

They initially billed it as a puzzle roguelike.

How accurate is that?

Ben Brocka

Surprisingly so, I guess? It's tile based puzzles with some resource management. I don't know what the non-energy resources are entirely for though, you don't solve puzzles with them

you can give them to townspeople and they tell you secerts apparently
