4:00 PM
@twobugs I wasn't aware that stuff required a daily dose
 
Name any kind of horrible thing and people there openly advocate for it! But it's okay, you can only get punished if you call someone a troll.
 
@Fluttershy I really do need to get back into FF14 oned ay
ONE DAAAAY
 
I think you need to say something like "my daily dosage of mocking white supremecists" so that you don't sound awful
We don't allow awful people on The Bridge.
Did you hear that, @Wipqozn?
 
@Sterno Yeah, so does that mean you're going to leave?
 
OHHHHH REVERSE BURRRRRN
 
4:02 PM
OHHHHHHHHH
 
@Yuuki I'm trying to unlock the Heavensward content, but it's taking a while.
@twobugs The existing Relic weapons continue upgrading into the new expansion, I believe. But the next update is introducing new Relic weapons.
 
I finished Metal Gear 5 on Saturday. The game kept me occupied for a month. While it has rough spots in Chapter 2, it was still a great play.
 
user4704
I love it.
 
user4704
100+ hours sunk in so far, my wife is somewhat concerned.
 
The only part I wanted to kick the game over involves a very long jeep ride regarding a spoiler spoiler spoiler stop talking Max.
 
user4704
4:14 PM
Was it a jeep ride you controlled? Because if it wasn't I think I know what you were takign about and I rolled my eyes a lot too.
 
The one where you ride along. There's a plot point in that I have an issue with.
 
user4704
tbh I forget most of what happened there :|
 
user4704
It all fell rather flat for me.
 
basically you make a buncha choices and then you have a bad time
 
SHORT VERSION:
WE GOTTA FIND METAL GEAR. THEY MOVED IT! SNAKE, I HAVE METAL GEAR, GET IN THE JEEP. METAL GEAR IS EXACTLY WHERE IT WAS BEFORE. We just rolled it back behind some doors for a bit. ..........
The plot equivalent of throwing a blue work tarp over it.
 
4:16 PM
@Fluttershy That's cool. I liked the relic weapon system.
 
What the fuck is a sonic metal gear
 
It's a big tankbot involving nuclear delivery systems.
 
user4704
@MadMAxJr Yeah, this also made me wonder if like... was it supposed to be in the third mission area that they allegedly cut? And they had nowhere else to put so WHY NOT?
 
@MadMAxJr That part was great. SUCH A LUST FOR REVENGE!!!!
 
@twobugs WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I did the EXTREME version of the mission against the armor skulls. I even got an S rank.
You just need quiet with her .50 cal rifle and constantly run circles around the hangar.
A friend asked why Skullface wears that silly Zorro mask. I didn't realize why until you ride in the jeep with him. In the light, you can see a slight sheen over the eyes. There's actually clear plastic there. He has no eyelids, so that's the only protection he has.
 
user4704
4:20 PM
I don't really like Skullface at all.
 
I liked his VA, but I didn't really feel has character had much oomph behind it.
 
user4704
Yea. The actor was good.
 
user4704
He makes analogies -- possibly during said jeep trip? -- between himself and Snake and Snake and Mr. Fire Man that I don't think hold up well, simply because Skullface didn't exist in the universe until this game.

Q: How do I attack other FOB's

ModCloudThe servers are up I have already been infiltrated but the game has given no explanation on how I'd infiltrate another players FOB's I am playing on Xbox One with latest updates and completly logged into MGS servers

 
user4704
Which underscores, for me, a common weakness in the way the MGS stories are told; how in a later game somebody ("Kojima?") will decide they want a thing to be so, and simply retcon it into the universe even though there was no prior evidence for it.
 
user4704
4:24 PM
And then have somebody drop a random line of dialogue that "oh, Bob McNewBadGuy was also there when you were in so-and-so doing such-and-such and hewas really the architect of evil plan."
 
user4704
I hate that.
 
Yeah, Kojima is a big fan of the retcon.
I couldn't take Hot Coldman seriously.
 
user4704
Yeaaaaaaah
 
"Really? The guy who schemed the entire plot of Snake Eater is named Hot Coldman? Hot. Coldman??!!"
 
MGS is all about dramatic over the top villainy.
 
user4704
4:27 PM
Sure, but it doesn't feel that dramatic or over the top if all that happens is you get a radio tape that says "this dramatic and over-the-top thing happened five years ago! BELIEVE IT!"
 
user4704
Every super-secret mastermind is really being manipulated in improbable ways by the next level of super-secret mastermind!
 
There are several parts that translate to Ocelot and Miller saying "You should'a played Peace Walker and MGS 3!"
 
"You haven't even seen my final form super-secret mastermind!"
 
@MadMAxJr That sounds like the opposite of fun.
 
However, Miller's Burger tapes are a GENUINE TREAT.
 
4:30 PM
Fucking
Can somebody rotate that and repost
 
Better this way
 
user4704
In some ways I like the bits of story in MGS V that focus more on sort of the trials and conflicts of running this rediculous sea-base of soldiers.
 
I never get tired of saying HOT COLDMAN
 
user4704
And also the burger tapes.
 
user4704
They are great.
 
4:32 PM
> Dozing baseball fan's $10M lawsuit thrown out
2
 
Yeah I included that on purpose
Best news page I've seen in a while
Also
Take that, Russia!
 
Wat
Uh...
 
@GnomeSlice Russia and America, it looks like
 
There we go
That was weird
 
whats going on
 
4:38 PM
The Bridge is going on
 
Did you guys head about this eagle that died of something
Like a webcam eagle
 
@GnomeSlice Yeah, I hear it was a terrible pun
 
Him and his wife were like intenet stars apparently
 
I got a question about the GameSave Manager program. Arqade or SuperUser?
 
Also the baseball thing is even funnier than the cat
Back to work I guess
Cc @LessPop_MoreFizz
 
4:40 PM
@NateKerkhofs I think you can ask about it here, since it's a tool designed specifically for video games.
 
I agree with @murgatroid99
 
4:56 PM
 
Nandroid
 
I agree with @Wipqozn
 
I disagree with @Sterno
 
I cannot agree or disagree with any of you, because none of you exist
 
No
We're not doing this again
 
5:03 PM
Everyone in the room is actually just Friday.
 
I find that having an existential crisis is the best way to get out of a disagreement
 
The disagreement does not exist.
 
@Unionhawk Yes we are
 
WE'RE REALLY NOT DOING THIS AGAIN
 
@MadMAxJr If I disagree with you on this statement, then it creates a disagreement
 
5:08 PM
Guys.
I started rewatching Archer.
cc @fredley
 
Danger zone
 
I'm dedicated to trolling. I'm rewatching it all so I can bombard him with quotes he won't understand or even know are from Archer.
 
They should bring Archer back and have it do a bunch of Friday trolling. They would cause a lot of cognitive dissonance for fredley
 
Archer isn't gone.
 
I thought it was over?
 
5:14 PM
@Sterno Oh, that could be fun
@twobugs No
It's just on the hiatus between seasons
 
Oh, neat. Even better.
 
5:31 PM
My protest
@22Cans Keep the art book guys. I regret having backed the game, I do not care for a constant reminder of what I thought vs what I got.
 
Oh snap
 
@James I'm honestly not sure why you'd ever back anything headed by Peter Molyneux. He's notorious for not meeting expectations.
 
@Wipqozn Because I usually like where the games end up regardless
But I did not envision populous being remade as farmville.
 
@Wipqozn @Wipqozn's roommate then
 
@Unionhawk OH BUUURRRNNN
I need to cash that cheque actually
 
5:37 PM
What did you back?
 
@MadMAxJr Probably Godus
 
I backed Armikrog and it's getting butchered in reviews. One million dollar kickstarter for a ~3 hour game that took 2.5 years to develop.
 
urmom took 2.5 years to develop
 
er, no. She took 9/12ths of a year to develop.
I dunno. The beta-test humans might have taken longer. I wasn't here during testing.
 
@MadMAxJr Children are still developing.
Otherwise we wouldn't call them childrenm
like people aren't born as adults
SO TAKE THAT
 
5:43 PM
You're on to something there.
 
I got your back @Sternold
 
What if we wrote a patch where people were born adults?
This solves so many problems in the development cycle.
 
@MadMAxJr Bug status: No repro
 
Drat.
 
@MadMAxJr Good luck finding someone to deliver a 150lb human.
 
5:44 PM
Okay leave the existing humans in production. Don't produce any new ones until we get a better patch.
I don't want to have to do a server wipe this far along.
 
@JasonBerkan Amazon Prime has free delivery for purchases over $35
 
That's it! We'll use amazon prime as the new delivery mechanism. They'll deliver 150 pound humans, and they'll do it in two days if you have Prime!
 
@murgatroid99 Okay. I've found the answer to my question myself, but I'll still do a self-answered question for those that might have the same issue
 
@MadMAxJr Regression: Delivery used to take 1-12 hours, now takes 48 hours
 
Your mom takes 48 hours
OH BUUURRRNNN
 
5:48 PM
Under the new system? YES. Literally.
But even more important, you now have 14 days to return the adult if you don't like it.
 
Does it also come with a 2 year warranty that allows free repairs?
Answer: yes, but only in Europe
 
That depends on the legal requirements of your country. Yeah, Europe.
We'll have to put the Gatchapon disclaimer on the page. Item may vary in color and appearance. Images are a random sample.
We're now okay until Apple decides to get into the people market. Good work team.
 
Once Apple launches their iPerson, they'll all be supermodels with extremely long stamina, but you need specially designed clothing and jobs for them since they have differently wired brains
And good luck doing an organ transplant or getting them to donate their own organs
 
Generally you're just expected to replace them, but I hear iFixit has teardown and repair guides.
 
@NateKerkhofs The fact they come with zero openings! is a minus...
 
5:56 PM
Also, if an iPerson and a non-iPerson try to have sex, there's a good chance one or both of them will develop a splitting headache during the act that requires brain bleach to fix
 
@Sterno It doesn't have to be lore; I downvote a ton of stuff.
 
Sorry, I just had a horrible, poor taste snicker over this when I tried to picture iFixit's teardown guide. "You will need...."
 
lol
 
@MadMAxJr "Legal disclaimer: your iPerson 6s should be bricked before teardown. To do this, hit it with a large brick"
Also, Greenmangaming had a VIP deal on Mad Max, so I bought it for 25 EUR
 
Rebooting the iPerson is a VERY DIFFICULT process and may not always be possible. Do not attempt unless you are SURE you can do this.
I need to end this dismal parody, because I just considered what the Foxxcon factories would look like on the inside. NOPE. DONE. ABANDON JOKE.
 
6:09 PM
In other news, I bought a new monitor today. Acer XB240H, delivery in 3-6 business days
I just hope it comes with proper cabling
 
expect just vba cable.
vga D:
 
@MadMAxJr weak
you've gotta live your own dystopias to the bitter end!
even if in the end you're gonna have a bad time
 
Especially if in the end you're gonna have a bad time
 
:sans:
 
If necessary, I can always try to cannibalize the cable from my current screen.
@djsmiley2k Is this a serious answer? is VGA actually still used for computers?
 
6:21 PM
VGA. Back when you had to manually set your own screen horizontal and vertical!
 
Package Content: 1 displayport cable
okay, so that's the right cable
 
VGA drives a 1080p60 signal just fine IIRC
 
I'm pretty sure I have a monitor connected to my computer at home by VGA
 
not much more than that though
 
Yeah, but Gsync requires a displayport cable to work
and Gsync is the entire reason I chose that particular monitor
 
6:21 PM
yeah, GSync counts as "enough more than that"
 
It's a 720p TV that's about 6 years old, though
 
I don't worry though
it comes with the right cable
and my current GPU is supported according to the Nvidia website
 
VGA supports up to 2048×1536px (QXGA) @85 Hz
but ymmv
I wonder how many things would break subtly on a monitor that has both dimensions as odd numbers

A: How can I ensure my GameSave Manager weekly backup actually happens?

Nate KerkhofsPlease note that this solution won't work for Windows XP. Configure the task to run as a windows scheduled task in GSM. Open the task scheduler and find your task. The task should be in the library and consist of of the prefix GSM, followed by a random string of letters and numbers. Double cl...

That's the question I wanted to ask
I found my own solution, but I thought I'd post my findings for those that come across the same issue
Might actually be suited for SU as well, which is why I asked it

Q: How can I ensure my GameSave Manager weekly backup actually happens?

Nate KerkhofsI configured a scheduled task for a weekly backup of all the saved games on my system to Dropbox, with 3 weeks of retention. However, the backup doesn't execute if my computer is in sleep, hibernate or powered down. Is there a way to fix this?

 
Why does Lazers post my question again? Is that a "low quality questions" warner?
 
Lazers links all new questions
 
ah, I see
 
6:30 PM
Lazers posts everyhthing in here.
Some people use it as a scrutiny skeet-shooting device, but not all of us.
 
Everyone here is actually a Lazers sockpuppet
 
We're various spectrums of lazer.
 
So, I have to make a PowerPoint presentation. Two, actually.

A: Bridge Movie Night - Halloween Special

WipqoznMovie Suggestion: The Halloween Tree Based on the Ray Bradbury novel of the same name, and narrated by him as well, The Halloween Tree is a Halloween film about a kid who steals a pumpkin, and then gets magicked across the world. His friends follow him around the world trying to track him down...

 
Seeing the monster of the week from the Doctor Who episode you just watched in the latest Jimquisition:
Also, I hope I didn't just break a tag name rule or something
 
6:33 PM
@NateKerkhofs we still seeing them copme with monitors at work
the monitors are triple input, so that's the cheapest cable they can include.
 
@djsmiley2k I don't think it's a good idea to sell a 300 EUR gaming monitor with the lowest quality cable imaginable
apart from a twine rope of course
 
twine rope gets too much static. You want a good sturdy silk rope from Monster Rope.
 
Yeah, but silk ropes have a lower ignition point and bandwidth
 
Do we have carbon nanotube ropes yet?
 
We're still trying to develop a sensible way to mass-produce them that doesn't involve tape
 
6:42 PM
I don't think tape counts as "mass" production anyway
 
I replaced my monitor with an array of 1920x1080 people in stadium seating with red, blue, and green flashlights.
Refresh rate is a little off, but otherwise fine.
Trucking in the food and supplies for the monitor is a pain.
 
Will that many people fit on one side of a stadium?
 
@NateKerkhofs Well it'll be exciting for you at least :D
 
It fits as many people as I need to keep up these nonsense things I talk about today, to distract me from the dullness of testing form input for another 4 hours.
 
@djsmiley2k It'll also save me roughly 30% on my monitor power usage
@MadMAxJr You don't have form testing automated?
 
6:46 PM
@NateKerkhofs Long story short, this is a vendor patch for our service desk system. We do not have access to the QA team for this patch, as we are not technically with the application development team. :|
When we did have access to them, they said it would be 6 to 8 months for them to write the automation / unit testing to their standards and our department head decided that was an unreasonable turn-around time.
We were given a seven business day window to get this patch through Sandbox, Dev, UAT, and production. So approximately 1.5~2 days per environment.
The service catalog contains 100 forms to test. :|

Q: How often do the special characters appear?

TexenoxIn the game Fingered, special characters can appear occasionally among the regular characters that can unlock an achievement if they have been executed (even if it's the wrong person, which most of the time seems to be the case). There's even a Steam guide outlining them all. But, I'm confused a...

Q: Will changing my geometry dash username affect my levels?

boatofturtlesI would like to change my geometry dash username. I know how, but will all my posted levels still have my old name and will changing the username negatively affect them? Thanks!

 
The (holiday long) weekend can't come soon enough, and it's only Monday.
I already fear burnout for this week.
@SaintWacko I have to use an IE tab for doing my timesheet, since it's a java web applet, and wikipedia, for some god unknown reason.

@oamlyya Wow.

I do like Quixotic better, though.
You?

I'm most of the way through it.
I just really hesitant towards finishing it.

Seriously? Osmosis reactions are now considered "offensive"?
 
Oh wow. That "Yelp, for people" app is real. I thought it was a joke.
Well, a real proposal at least.
 
Peeple
I think it's already out in the wild
It was discussed on Last Week Tonight.
 
I don't think it is yet
 
One of the creators said it's to help establish real feedback about people around you. That same creator was found posting to facebook if there's a way to block people from posting feedback on a corporate facebook page.
 
8:33 PM
It's slated for a November release, but apparently there's next to no concrete info about it.
I mean, it sucks that the person who pitched it is getting death threats and everything, but it's not a good idea.
 
I just looked it up and found this post, apparently by the person who created the app
That seems to explain what it's intended to be
 
I mean, the idea of it as a positivity thing is nice, but... I just don't see how it'd work without being extremely restrictive
Due to the nature of the internet, it's very easy for random people to just click on John Doe's profile and mass vote 1 as a "funny meme joke" or whatever.
 
@twobugs It says that you have to explicitly approve any post about you. that should be sufficiently restrictive
 
@murgatroid99 Hah, good luck with that.
 
@murgatroid99 That's the problem, IMO. Since the whole thing is completely opt-in I don't see how it'll have any kind of weight.
 
8:37 PM
@murgatroid99 That's okay for everyone else, but the person in question would still have to filter through (most likely) tons of negativity to approve positivity.
 
@twobugs That's the point. It's not supposed to
 
You can just deny every negative review so you're always at 5 stars
 
Exactly
The point isn't accuracy. It's "positivity"
 
Right, I get that, but to me that makes the whole thing seem weird and pointless. It's not really fostering real positive comments, it's helping people create echo chambers.
And I don't think the internet needs any more of those.
 
@twobugs obviously, this person does
 
8:39 PM
 
Even then, people would probably have to wade through a metric ton of "lol faggot" spam before finding the one "this guy is pretty chill" to approve for their page.
 
Hey, maybe I'm wrong and this app will be a huge success. It would certainly be interesting to see.
 
JUST WHAT I WANTED FOR CHRISTAMAS
 
@Yuuki Maybe. Unless only people who want to make positive comments actually care enough to sign up for this thing
 
It's certainly a more interesting idea that it was original being circulated as (the "it's yelp, but for people"), but that isn't really her fault it sounds like.
One of the early news stories just took that sound bite and ran with it
 
8:41 PM
I'm gonna hold out for Facetome and Twerper.
 
This must be Netflix o'clock
everyone is hogging up them cables and I can't play for shit
 
I prefer fakebook, honestly.
 
Farcebonk is the worst
 
Facetome and Twerper are the social media tools used in Blood Bowl 2. Magic is awesome.
"Bob, we've got a message on Twerper from Zug-I'll-kill-anyone-who-uses-this-name.." "Sounds like a verified account Jim."
Football with commentary by an ogre and a vampire is a great thing.
 
@badp I always feel like I'm about to miss something in Undertale.
 
8:46 PM
@RonanForman where are you now?
there isn't a TON to miss, but I did miss some things in my playthrough
 
@badp I'm just leaving Snowdin.
 
The door behind Snowdin is sealed shut
 
Well also I feel like any choice I make could restrict some of the future game.
 
the main choice is kill or spare, there isn't much else to worry about
 
Hmm okay.
 
8:48 PM
with exceptions choices will "only" affect dialogue
 
The main choices are kill everyone, kill a few things, kill no one.
 
@MadMAxJr I'm currently playing kill a few things.
 
That said the doors at Papyrus' might be openable. I dunno how though
 
@badp Which ones?
 
@badp The door to Sans room requires some work, but can be entered.
 
8:49 PM
@MadMAxJr I missed that sidequest entirely.
@RonanForman just leave Snowdin already :P
 
I love Papyrus' special attack music.
 
Oh yes. The ramped up version of his theme.
 
@badp I'm not currently playing the game. And I already left.
@MadMAxJr Super good.
 
@RonanForman then you should probably know what doors I'm talking about
 
There's even more crazy awesome chiptunes coming later on.
 
8:51 PM
It's a crying shame the soundtrack is so butchered
even the internal music files loop as poorly as the ones in the soundtrack
 
@badp Well I went in one of them, so that only leaves Sans' door singular.
 
@RonanForman there's also the door right outside Papyrus'
 
@badp Oh yeah.
 
The other door in Snowdin requires a major feat. The locked one after the ice puzzle.
Can't get in there on your first play.
 
5 mins ago, by badp
The door behind Snowdin is sealed shut

I don't have the patience to pull off that hat trick.
 
@MadMAxJr It's not really that difficult, just study the strats of those who made it for the spinning wheels section
 
I've also given up on my genocide run.
