3:00 PM
I'm excited
 
@fredley Sure
 
user15026
@twobugs it's not that good. Too much waiting. You'd be better off with one of the Kairosoft ones
 
user15026
@fredley from what I have heard of bumbumtrain it sounds fascinating. I would hate it but I am bad at public stuff like that.
 
3:01 PM
@AshleyNunn Aw, that's a shame. Thanks for the heads up at least. I've got some google rewards $$$$ so I'll check one out. Any specific recs?
 
@AshleyNunn Yeah, apparently last time one scene was being on stage as a stand up comedian
audience of ~100
 
Fascinating is a word I would use to describe @fredley and any train related activities
 
@GodEmperorDune I like how now it almost looks like @fredley wrote Increment for me
 
@badp pls
 
@badp I do think you brought it to it's full potential of @fredley pls-ness
 
3:02 PM
@fredley pardon: Exponent.
I just woke up.
 
Isn't it like 6pm where you are?

Q: What is the point of stars in Mario Kart 8?

Don'tCallMeCherryNot that stars that you get at the end of the races. But you can get up to 6 stars (I believe) and they show up in the upper left portion of the screen. What do those do?

 
no, 5pm
 
Right, off by an hour because DST
 
I had an afternoon snooze. Please picture a pair of sunglasses descending slowly on my nose.
 
3:04 PM
Man, autoplay makes this Basic game so fun.
The numbers keep going up!
The numbers have become self-aware and are increasing on their own. This is probably how Skynet gets started.
 
Minimum undersarcast
 
@Unionhawk ah, the epic battle of @Wipqozn vs a tim horton's
oh wow, my twinking answer is still giving rep
 
Your rep is being powerleveled!
 
Not the scaling I was hoping for
 
@twobugs Is it over 9000?
@fredley The game is extremely easy as it is.
 
3:08 PM
@Powerlord nah, not even 6k yet
 
Strangely, the original Japanese for that line is "8000". Funimation changed it during translation, and the rest is history
 
Whoa, if you prestige, it removes the row column bonuses you already have
 
@twobugs Really? :o I wonder why 9000 was preferred over 8000
 
Hmmmm. I guess nine thousand rolls off the tongue better than eight thousand?
 
Yeah, but the prestige bonuses are REALLY good
 
3:09 PM
@John according to the math, 9000 > 8000
 
@GodEmperorDune By that logic, why not 10000?
 
@GodEmperorDune [citation needed]
 
@GodEmperorDune Eh, why not play it safe with 9000 >= 8000?
For all you know, you could have some very large values of 8000 in there.
 
@Yuuki 9000 ≠ 8000
 
@fredley Prove it. Your move, atheists.
 
3:11 PM
I wouldn't want to impose an ordering
 
So my ex-coworkers are having trouble with textbox controls inside a table on mobile. Inside the Chrome device emulator they take one tap to focus and a second tap to edit. In a real device they just seem to work however the fuck they want to.
 
@fredley 9000 ≠= 8000
 
Any idea what could be going on?
 
9000 ?= 8000
 
3:11 PM
@badp magic?
 
@badp You're testing it wrong
 
@Powerlord Yes, 10,300% (your move @GodEmperorDune)
 
@KevinvanderVelden Or possibly friendship
 
@badp define 'however the fuck they want to'?
 
@badp is it chrome browser on an ios device or on an android device?
 
3:12 PM
Mayhaps a mixture thereof
 
@PrivatePansy I haven't seen it (they called me) but you have to tap things in the wrong places, perhaps at an offset
 
@twobugs Might just be heresy
 
and then there's a chance that it might give you the virtual keyboard for data entry
@GodEmperorDune first test Chrome in mobile emulation, second test Chrome in Android
both at version 42 IIRC
 
user15026
@twobugs do you want a city builder one?
 
Never seen that behavior on my phone before. Can haz code?
 
3:14 PM
@AshleyNunn That'd be nice, but really anything you think is particularly good :) Been satisfied with your recs so far!
 
@PrivatePansy I dunno, and I must warn you it's vaadin
 
@twobugs I prestiged two buidlings.
 
so we write some Java that tells how the page should be built and that becomes either html or json to be processed into html, but either way the final markup really ugly and full of computed fixed sizes with overflow:hidden's.
 
user image
3
 
(and yet the html seems nothing particular, and it "works" as expected on desktop)
 
3:15 PM
@fredley That's just The Bridge users keeping track of it for later mocking.
 
I wonder if prestiging as soon as possible is always the right move.
 
@JasonBerkan that's not even necessary any longer
 
@StrixVaria I was wondering that
Autoplay seems to think so
 
@JasonBerkan that would require 25 bridge people having a lifehacks account
 
 
3:16 PM
@badp Maybe device pixels interacting weirdly with absolute pixels?
 
Also, I repcapped for the first time yesterday. On a dup. :(
 
user15026
If so I suggest oh edo towns. Pocket academy is also good, as is the ramen sensei one. The baking one is also good and it is free, I believe
 
@StrixVaria I think the tick bonus means almost certainly yes though
@JasonBerkan Hahahahaha repcapping.
 
@PrivatePansy hmmmm that's an entire class of issues I hadn't thought about. For a while I've noticed that Vaadin reports the (x,y) coordinates of your touch to the server and the server complains if they aren't integer, which got in the way of 90% zoom naturally
(as in it throws an exception; dunno if the event is still handled afterwards. Not only is this vaadin but it's a rather old version)
 
I'm not sure if CSS units have caught up to hidpi displays
 
3:17 PM
@fredley The favoriting will continue until morale improves!
@AshleyNunn Cool, sounds good!
 
Certainly using px as a unit on high dpi devices is dangerous
 
Lifehacks will continue until morale improves
 
I mean, you create stupid problems in your stylesheets by mismatching units even without the headache brought about by having the pixel unit not represent physical pixels
 
this isn't even stylesheet
Vaadin calculates how large your elements should be "at runtime"
 
@fredley Yeah. Next time I prestige I'll try to remember to change it to show value/sec instead of value/tick to compare.
 
3:20 PM
and then builds the <div>'s to be exactly that large
 
@Unionhawk Yeah, basically.
 
Seeing the value/tick plummet is misleading since the ticks/sec also improve.
 
and it does so in px's IIRC
 
The Stack Overflow blog famously mixed em and px, with an assumed root em of 16px. This broke pretty spectacularly if you changed the root font size on your browser, which Firefox lets you do

Q: Do certain seeds spawn Herobrine?

JohnA friend of mine told me that certain seeds (he didn't told me what seeds) spawn Herobrine? Is it true? Tell me some example seeds if so. Even if I saw the thing with Herobrine,that he does not exist. I saw this on the wiki. Please tell me anyway.

 
3:21 PM
the page itself though looks... okay. You just can't interact with it.
 
Is the page using the meta viewport tag?
 
Drat. I can't create a cache for a layer with sublayers, because that is something you might possibly want to do.
 
@PrivatePansy urmom is using a meta viewport tag
 
At least, I seemingly can't...
 
@GodEmperorDune Your mum's so fat, she's still 96px big when placed between <small> tags
 
3:27 PM
Urmom's so... <insert PHP joke>
 
PHP is itself a joke.
 
@Yuuki sizeof($urmom) > PHP_INT_MAX

Q: Do the Invasion weapons have killstreak kits?

GigazelleWith TF2's invasion update, they introduced four new reskins: Batsaber, Giger Counter, Shooting Star, and C.A.P.P.E.R. All of them function identically to existing weapons in the game, some with just slightly different particle effects. Before investing in these reskins, I would like to make sur...

 
3:46 PM
Reincarnate Kel'Thuzad is fun :D
 
@StrixVaria PHP: Hate Perpetual
 
Oh dear. Someone started responding seriously to my joke Paranormal sample questions
 
@twobugs kenorb?
 
Yes. I feel bad because he just seems like an earnest guy.
I mean, his proposal is terrible, but I don't hate him.
 
@twobugs I do feel bad occasionally. I console myself by reminding myself that this is Paranormal.SE.
 
3:59 PM
Also, I think you're coming up on one of my favorite characters in MGSV, @Yuuki
 
@twobugs Snaaaaake?
 
Well, two of them, really
 
SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Old Dine. You'll know him when you meet him.
He's great. His cassette tapes are amazing.
 
YUUUUUUUUUKKKIII
 
4:00 PM
Oh man... he has these tapes with Miller that are absolutely glorious.
 
@Yuuki SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
 
The other one is a surprise!
Also, tell me (or at least read up a little bit somewhere) before you do mission... 43 I think? There's a thing.
 
@fredley Lifehacks is the joke that keeps on giving.

Q: How Can I Get A Regigigas in Pokemon Ranger Shadows of Almia?

HenryRuizI Have all the Regis but I can't find where he is. Help me. Where can I find Regigigas?

 
4:18 PM
Maker of Basic on autoplay:
> By the way, I don't want it to be 100% ideal. You should pay a penalty for letting the computer play for you.
 
Stop making joke questions on proposals you don't like
 
@GnomeSlice it's paranomral, if you weren't told it's a joke question, how would you be able to tell?
 
@GnomeSlice It's a joke question in the sense that I'm poking fun at traditional paranormal dilemma (i.e. why are there no good ghost pictures), but point noted.

Q: Can I opt out of the MGSV multiplayer base invasions?

Nate KerkhofsI am somewhat interested in playing MGSV, but when playing a singleplayer game, I really hate it when my efforts are undermined by forced competitive multiplayer like base invasions, especially if people are cheating their way to victory. Is there a way to opt out completely from the competitive...

 
4:36 PM
it still baffles me that @GnomeSlice is such a defender of paranormal
is kenorb one of your socks, @GnomeSlice
 
@GodEmperorDune @GnomeSlice is a defender of everyone who is on the receiving end of ridicule.
 
Yes
 
@StrixVaria see that makes a lot more sense
 
Even Wipqozn?
 
Especially @Wipqozn
 
4:37 PM
Audible gasp
 
dun dun duhhhhhhhhhh
 
5:07 PM
Good morning again, Bridge!
 
It's the afternoon! It's not morning at all!
 
@twobugs what, it's 14:40 (2:40pm for you american folk) and I just woke up; clearly it's morning!
but if it makes you feel any better:
6 hours ago, by Chippies
morning, Bridge
 
Wait, I thought you barbarians in Newfoundland were only 30 minutes ahead
How are you an hour and a half ahead of eastern time?!
 
@twobugs I thought they were 60 minutes ahead. What's this off by 30 minutes nonsense?
 
I've been persuaded by @AshleyNunn to come back on and forget about all that.
Again.
 
5:13 PM
@StrixVaria Newfoundland is -3:30 UTC
 
@murgatroid99 ew
 
And Eastern is -5, so that sounds right
 
Oh, there's ANOTHER time zone between us and Newfoundland
I didn't realize that. I thought they were just 30 minutes ahead.
 
Nepal is UTC+05:45
 
@twobugs Ohh, Nova Scotia is 60 minutes ahead of me. Newfoundland is even further east of that?
 
5:15 PM
@twobugs we were always hour and half ahead of eastern, afaik
 
@StrixVaria #freenovascotia
cc @Wipqozn
 
and 4:30 ahead of pacific
 
Let's just abolish timezones and have some universal time
 
@twobugs We already have Universal Coordinated Time
 
@twobugs which sort of green madness is that?
 
5:16 PM
@StrixVaria NL has the furthest eastern spot in America
most eastern spot
 
Let's all adopt Swatch Internet Time. Everything is a sensible power of 10, AND no timezones.
 
I have no second thoughts about this, of course I'm pressing.
 
@murgatroid99 Assuming you're not talking in DST, that's true
However, EDT is UTC -4
 
@Powerlord Yes, you add 1 to all of the relevant numbers for DST. But that was besides the point
 
5:32 PM
@murgatroid99 sigh Not if NewFoundland doesn't use DST.
 
But it does
 
5:45 PM
32 mins ago, by murgatroid99
@StrixVaria Newfoundland is -3:30 UTC
Then this statement is wrong at the moment
 
user58869
@GnomeSlice such lovely graphics, what is this game?
 
It seems that auto play just looks for the one closest to next
Nope, not the case never mind

Paracord

Proposed Q&A site for paracord weavers and enthusiasts. Includes weaves, weights, designs, etc.

Currently in definition.

 
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment Didn't I see this not too long ago?
 
5:50 PM
@MBraedley I think so
 
1
Romanian Language

Proposed Q&A site for linguists, teachers, and students wanting to discuss the finer points of the Romanian language.

Currently in definition.

HHhahem!
 
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment This seems like it should be a tag on a Crafts.SE site rather than its own site.
 
damn, repcapped again
thanks
 
I feel like such a fool for missing out on answering the "adds" terminology question
 
5:52 PM
@Unionhawk If I did see it, it seems to have been removed
 
Easy rep!
 
@twobugs did that go hot too?
 
I think so, at least for a bit.
 
user58869
@Texenox Da!
 
@StrixVaria I get it. That's funny.
 
5:58 PM
@Alice Well why aren't you following it, then?
 
hmm I dare say ol' chaps, for supper tonight I might have me some Pizza
or not. Hard to say.
Mostly since I don't feel like going grocery shopping
 
@Wipqozn Get sushi.
 
@StrixVaria That's a good idea
 
@Wipqozn tacos!
 
anyone interested in tri-force heroes demo codes?
cc: @AshleyNunn @whoeverelsemightcare
 
6:07 PM
@Chippies I just got a few codes too, so throw mine into that pot

Q: How do you get to 1000 before 666 of Earth investments?

chicksIn looking at the list of achievements for adventure-capitalist I see that more people have gotten Grand Standing! than have Ominous... yet everybody that has Grand Standing! should already have Ominous... since Grand Standing! requires 1000 things while Ominous... requires 666 of seemingly the s...

 
Whomever was talking about BASIC's autoplay earlier, an update earlier today gave you a little more control over it.
You can basically click somewhere and it will keep buying until it has the upgrade you clicked on.
 
yep
 
Granted, this is assuming you reloaded that page since the update was made
 
it's still a ridiculously slow game
but.. it has a lot of number go up... so eh
6/10
 
6:12 PM
@Rapitor Uh? Have you played many incrementers?
This is one of the faster ones I've seen.
 
@Powerlord good to know! reloads and switches tab away again
 
@twobugs There are some that are finishable in a single session.
Then there are some that are meant to be played over a long period of time.
Among games in the latter category, this one is fairly fast.
 
@StrixVaria True, this one strikes kind of a balance.
 
I'm enjoying Clickpocalypse II now
 
I mean, it has a definite endpoint rather than "keep grinding until you run out of content" ala many others
 
6:13 PM
this is one where you just leave open for days and let it do it's thing
 
@Chippies I 100%ed that recently.
It's so good.
 
@Rapitor Yes, it's an incrementer.
 
@StrixVaria I'm pretty sure it was your screenshot that gave me the idea to give it a go
I used to 'play' the original one and I think I also did a bit of 2, but it was very barebones back then
finished my first run this morning, it's quite enjoyable
 
Clickpocalypse 2 is great but it makes me really want to sit down with a regular dungeon crawler
That reminds me, I need to start infiltrating and dismantling nukes in MGSV
 
Oh, finally, I have a new follower on my site proposal.
 
6:16 PM
Gotta do my part!
 
@Chippies I think it took me 29 total runs to get all the achievements, according to the game, but it feels like more than that.
That might be 29 prestiges not counting continues.
You need to continue a few times to get some achievements.
 
@StrixVaria if you're looking at victories, that doesn't count the continues, I'm pretty sure
 
but yeah, I know I have to continue a few times for some achievs
 
Witcher 3 is again getting really unstable just now that I'm playing the expansion. At least it is pretty quick to start again, and I tend to save excessively.
 
6:24 PM
@Alice Triple Town (mobile edition)
 
user58869
thanks!
 
@MadScientist I haven't gotten very far in that game, but the one thing it's taught me already is to save every time I think anything might happen, and also to save right after anything that does happen.
 
No prob! It's pretty good. :)
 
@Sterno @Wipqozn is a traitor.
 
6:26 PM
Just checked, I have more than 2500 saves
 
TIL you can't bounty the same question twice. Or I learned you can't bounty on mobile. Not sure which
 
@Sterno You can, but you need to put up a higher bounty than before.
 
@Sterno TIL sometimes you can't bounty things.
 
Man LabRat is good
 
I'll just have to find another question of @fredley's to give 150 rep to
 
6:28 PM
@GnomeSlice Is that a sequel to Bad Rats?
 
Maybe I'll give the other bounty to @Wipqozn
 
@Alice Thanks!
 
Triphop glitchstep dubcore
 
It's glitch hop
 
6:30 PM
@twobugs no
 
The day I get to not be in this country for 4 days.
 
@GnomeSlice Yeah, I'm just trying to imagine goofy subgenre names
 
Triphop is also a thing lol
 
@StrixVaria It's closed beta, so don't get your hopes up too much
 
@twobugs I posted before I read. Somewhere else it said "open beta" which I doubted.
 
Now that I see it's closed I realize that I wouldn't get to play on that day anyway.
 
I mean, I'm the guy who gets into all the Betas and I didn't get in (yet)
 
You'll live if you miss a couple days
 
@GnomeSlice My excitement for the game has waned over time anyway.
I'll still try it out, but I don't expect to get particularly hooked.
 
No, if I don't play a video game immediately I will die.
@StrixVaria Yeah. It looks interesting, but I just feel really done with the whole TF2 style arena shooter.
 
6:33 PM
@twobugs HiRez (makers of Smite) is also developing one. When I first saw the trailer, I thought it was a new Overwatch trailer until the end where they showed the title.
 
Haha. Man. That must be the $$$$ genre now if everyone is getting in on it.
Wonder how Blizzard will monetize Overwatch...
 
@StrixVaria That means you get to be massively disappointed four days later!
besides on October 30th, BoI: Afterbirth beckons
 
@badp I'll be massively disappointed anyway since I do not want to be going on this trip at all.
@badp Is that simultaneously releasing for PS4?
 
@StrixVaria no.
 
I still don't get why everybody shits themselves over binding of isaac
It was good, but not mind blowing
 
6:35 PM
I don't think there's any word about the PS4 release of Afterbirth
 
@GnomeSlice Me neither, man. I just can't really get into it. Played Rebirth for a bit on Vita, eh.
 
@twobugs How far did you get into it?
 
That awkwardness when someone sat down at your table while you went to get food...
 
I was expecting Rebirth to be bad, too. I don't remember which company helped with it but they really messed up the Cave Story ports
@badp Not far, maybe 30minutes or so? I should probably try again.
 
@Yuuki Sit back down at the table. Be like "hey, what did I miss?"
 
6:36 PM
@twobugs Probably the same way every other MOBA has monetized.
 
@twobugs Nicalis
 
Super Meat Boy is excellent, but only better than N+ because it's available on PC
 
It wasn't a port; they wrote it from scratch
 
@badp Yeah... apparently they did a lot better on recent stuff, so that's good.
 
And since it's an FPS, probably like weapon skins like CS:GO.
 
6:37 PM
But their Cave Story Wii ware was... yikes.
 
Nicalis aren't handling their non-Steam ports very well either
 
I dunno. I've never really gotten into roguelikes I guess.
I like FTL but I got to the final sector once and even on easy mode the bad guy ship absolutely murdered me
 
I hear they're consistently way behind schedule with patches and they announced nothing non-Steam for Afterbirth.
 
That's because steam is where the money is
 
That's really unfortunate. I thought Sony was working hardcore with indies for Vita/PS4?
 
6:39 PM
Sort of
 
so PS4, Vita, 3DS, XBone are not money makers?
I'd be okay with it but I doubt it
 
I think for indie hardcore games, Steam is going to be hard to beat
 
BoI:R was even free for PS+ subs
 
Apparently MS can be really fussy about Xbone stuff. Didn't they have to cancel the Shovel Knight physical release for Xbone as a result?
 
I think Rebirth was digital-only anyway
 
6:41 PM
BoI just feels so daunting to try to get into. People say it takes hundreds of hours
 
@twobugs That it does.
 
There's a couple hundred items
 
How much progression is there between runs?
 
@twobugs Wildly varying.
 
so if you have to know what each item does before you pick it up, or after you pick it up, there's a lot of wiki consulting
 
6:42 PM
I can slap that bad boy back on my Vita and play it sometime
 
Risk of Rain was pretty DOPE
 
@twobugs I just pick it up and play every now and then.
 
Why did that convert to caps
 
It took me like 20 tries before I even saw Mom, and got annihilated by her. When I stopped playing, I probably was able to beat the boss after her close to 50% of attempts. Good players almost never lose.
 
@Yuuki Urgh. Not sure I like the sound of that.
 
6:42 PM
@twobugs It's basically achievement-based. There's also a little bit more from in-game cash donation
 
DOPE
wtd
Wtd
Wtf
DOPE
 
@StrixVaria I beat Mom's Heart a few weeks ago!
So proud of myself.
 
Some things are sorta random and/or naturally occurring
 
@GnomeSlice Is this @GnomePhone again?
 
like "bomb x rocks"
but the main progression mechanic is winning
 
6:43 PM
@StrixVaria did you ever play risk of rain?
 
Every time you win the game makes you win harder basically
 
Hm, that sounds kind of interesting.
 
@GnomeSlice Briefly.
I have a friend who really liked it, but I didn't get into it.
 
Briefly?
That's weird
 
It's fairly easy to accidentally stumble in a build that will let you destroy mom completely, then you'll have to do it again but clear additional levels etc.
later
 
6:44 PM
Risk of Rain was a hit or miss with each run
you either died within the first couple stages or you facerolled through the whole thing and had massive amounts of fun
 
Yeeee
 
that 2nd part only happened once
 
I beat it several times
 
probably because I'm shit at the game
but it's a good game
 
Hue
 
6:45 PM
I have original BoI on steam but I remember getting really mad and closing the game without even playing once the game said "want to use a gamepad? google this program!"
 
@Chippies did you play Ascendant?
 
@GnomeSlice no, it's on my list of games to play one day
 
Don't you have it
Play it you clown
 
since that list isn't written down, I usually forget anyway
 
It's fun
 
6:46 PM
@GnomeSlice so I heard
not in the mood for roguelikes lately tho
 
I like meat boy too but wasn't there some issue where they were using a web facing SQL database for the leaderboards, some guy tried to warn them it was a Real Bad Idea, they ignored him, and so he demonstrated how bad it was and they threw a fit? I'm probably remembering that completely wrong.
 
The original meat boy was ground breaking
Also
Floating castle bitches
Peaceful valley OP
 
why is the castle floating?
is it propelled by the bears making wicked shits?
 
Probably
No bears in peaceful valley tho so maybe not
 
@GnomeSlice clearly all the bears are used to propel the castle upward, so there are none left to roam the valley
 
6:55 PM
Damnit
Still probably my best score ever
Wait no, I got above Farm before
Over 300,000
 
Dear god, how can you be bad at making rice?
