Except Steamworks, I guess, for the most part, probably
@StrixVaria Isn't there always a major complaint at any initial AAA release these days?
 
@Unionhawk Was there something about Fallout 4?

Q: Recommended skill set, knowledge, prerequisites for CSGO competitive

Bram VanroyI'm in an unfortunate position. I'm good at FPS, meaning that my aim is good and that I'm very well aware of my team mates during tactical game play. In Counter Strike: Global Offensive, I thought I'd just play some Casual. Seemed like the best plan, because I hadn't played Source for a long time...

 
@SaintWacko You are on a roll!
 
@StrixVaria Initially the reviews were bad because it's a Bethesda game and it crashed
 
Meh.
 
8:03 PM
But, like, now it's balanced out to mostly positive, I'm guessing
Very positive even
 
@StrixVaria Totalbiscuit went raging mad at the online component. Apparently the servers were really unstable during preview.
 
@Unionhawk Depends on where you're looking. Most reviews were pretty positive, but there is still some negativity about several aspects of the game.
Especially people comparing it to FNV are pretty disappointed
 
@MadScientist I'm looking on Steam, which has it as 81% positive reviews
Out of 36k reviews
 
One thing that annoys me is that the Institute still doesn't make any sense to me. I might have missed a few clues, but the game doesn't really explain why they do the evil things they do. Or at least it is not convincing with the few explanations it gives, and you can't actually question them about it when you meet.
 
8:30 PM
Right, I'm setting up Cygwin now.
Don't even know if I'll be able to figure out how to use it to my advantage, but eh.
Also, who added ?
 
yelling is fun
 
probably @uni
 
@Rapitor Oh. I'd be more inclined to believe it was Ashley. She usually reprimands me for yelling in chat.
 
It was me
 
@Unionhawk I stand corrected.
 
8:32 PM
Hello
@AshleyNunn is less inclined than I am to add mostly nonsense tags to the description.
 
@Unionhawk Fair enough.
 
@Unionhawk She's less inclined to add tags period.

@Texenox I don't think I have ever touched the description the whole time I've been here
 
@AshleyNunn Ah, yeah.
 
HI CHAT.
So, I am in Temnessee now.
There are billboards everywhere here for something called "Lumberjack Feud"
I am intrigued and terrified.

@LessPop_MoreFizz I have so many questions.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
 
Picturing American Gladiators, but with Lumberjacks
 
I hope it involves axe fighting?
 
@Yuuki Are there any tags other than nonsense tags in The Bridge?

sigh :P
 
Also, I just noticed "room chat" as a thing to make it rhyme
Goddammit

room topic changed to The Bridge: General Arqade chat room, wherein, despite our best individual efforts, we must come to the sad conclusion that, at the end of the day, none of us are as idiot as all of us. [-context] [-fun] [jin-fanclub] [lazers] [--mandatory] [murder] [-unicode]
@AshleyNunn you changed it once!
 
user15026
@Arperum Apparently I did! I don't know what I changed, though....
 
@AshleyNunn Probably made it more sane.
 
user15026
8:49 PM
@Arperum More than likely :P
 
@Rapitor wot
 
$0 spent on Steam sale. WINNING
 
Alright, so I've started using CodeReview.SE.

Q: Account registration system for a quiz game

TexenoxAs part of a school project for ICT lessons, our class has been required to write a quiz program following certain criteria that has been set. The first part of this is a program that handles the registration process by asking the user for details such as player name, age, email and gender. The ...

@Sterno I've spent $6. I figure that's pretty okay.
 
9:04 PM
There's another sale already?
Wait, no, all I'm seeing is a release banner for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege.
Okay, I have to go.
 
@Texenox Sorry, should have said "WON", not "WINNING"
 
@Sterno I bought nothing for myself
 
@Texenox concider the fact you're storing the users password in plain text
as a mental, or possibly real exercise, figure out how to encrypt it and then confirm the password they enter still matches
 
#rollingmyowncrypto
 
@Texenox I don't know a lick of Python, but that looks very messy
 
9:20 PM
@AshleyNunn I spent $15 :( on a game that constantly crashes on my pc too :(
 
@Aequitas refund?
 
@SaintWacko the online sync makes the game freeze for a few seconds every once in a while, and stutter constantly
 
@badp how does that work?
won't they just say if your pc isn't good enough it's not our fault?
 
@badp oh god no
 
@Aequitas if it's Steam you can get one no questions asked so long as you played for less than 2 hours and you bought it in the last 2 weeks
otherwise you can still ask
 
9:38 PM
@3ventic I had once that the connection to the server was lost.
 
@badp maybe i'll do that, anyone play Elite:Dangerous?
 

 The Dangerously Elite

Wherein we celebrate the arrival of the year 3305 and space or...

Q: Is there a way to prevent corpses from disapearing?

leinaD_natipaCWhat it says on the tin. Right now I have a bunch of dead bodies in Covenant which I'd like to decorate the town with. Also I thought of maybe collecting some Glowing One corpses to use as electricity-free light source. I'd like to know if they de-spawn in town, and if so how I can prevent that....

 
@Arperum I love these "Make it look like an accident" mini-missions

Q: What are the differences between ships in Battlefront (x-wing, a-wing, tie, tie interceptor)

GarrettJWhat are the differences between ships in Battlefront? The tie interceptor seems faster than the tie fighter, but also seems to die from less direct hits. The A-wing also seems to be a smaller, quicker version of the X-wing that dies faster. Is there any documentation or user tests that determi...

 
SethBling, you are frightening.
Oh, apparently someone at Verizon is frightening

Q: Can I use supply lines to centralize my farming operations?

IsziSettlers need food and water, but not every settlement comes with a farm or river/lake. And I really don't want to have to build/maintain more farms if I don't need to. If supply lines will transport necessary food/water to remote settlements, I could just network all my settlements and have one...

 
10:24 PM
@Unionhawk wat
 
@badp Apparently Verizon did some magic
 
@fredley Zeus damn it @fredley
ALso for fuck sakes
I need to stop opening youtube videos in the steam browser. It just freezes up but keeps palying the video.
So often I need to reboot. IT's fucking annoying.
 
@Unionhawk What in the hell
 
@TimStone Yes.
N.B. this uses server plugins, not command blocks or anything
So it's only half crazy
 
NB?
 
10:35 PM
Note
 
Whats the B
 
It's some latin thing
 
I haven't had this much fun with a game since, well, Just Cause 2
 
It's sad that you guys are making me want to get JC3 just to try that
 
I am so bad at wingsuits

Q: Is it possible for the Player Character to become immune to radiation poisoning?

IsziSo, I recently found myself in the Crater of Atom where there appear to be some otherwise-normal humans who are immune to radiation poisoning. Is this something I can achieve as well? Please put anything beyond a "yes" or "no" answer in spoiler markdown.

 
11:16 PM
Yay hotel internet that isn't garbage.
 
wtf
I put my clothes in the washing machine 2 hours ago
it's still going at it
 
@badp Washing Machine is probably broken
 
it seemed brand new.
maybe I overloaded it.
all I know is it will beep loudly and frequently once it's done
 
11:36 PM
@badp Is it making any noise at all? Maybe you didn't start it? ;-)
 
It is.
 
hehe
I
I've worked in tech support waaaay too long
 
Spin a lttle, stationary, spin some more
 
@badp New washer?
 
yeah
 
11:40 PM
Is it a high efficiency (HE) washer?
 
xI think
I've already done an empty load with just the soap
 
I know if you use regular soap (not HE soap) it takes forever due to rinse
because HE soap doesn't bubble up
its a pressurized system, and the bubbles can cause a rupture
 
@badp If it's a high efficiency front-loading, this may be normal - particularly if you aren't using a high efficiency detergent.
 
Arg
 
I dunno I've got the one in small transparent packages that go in the main area
don't know anything about high efficiency
 
11:41 PM
you might want to check on that... using non HE soap in a HE washer can severely damage it
 
Didn't know about the pressure/rupture thing, but I'm vaguely aware that without an accompanying HE detergent it can take forever to rinse.
 
As far as I'm aware, a HE washer supposedly detects bubbling and halts operation in such case
 
the manual says nothing about high efficiency or detergents
 
Hmm

Q: PS4 black ops 3 campaign - what do the different color boxes mean by mission name?

PawnInGameOfLifeSo, I've been playing through campaign on PS4 and one day when "resuming campaign" it tried to make me replay the "Hypocenter" mission which I had finished earlier. I quit out and went to the next mission "Vengeance" (which was unlocked). I have noticed now, in the mission select screen, that a...

 
11:46 PM
it does say however that on a typical load it'll take 130-140 minutes to be done
so that should be... soon?
It's started making different noises.
I still have to put them in the dried. That also can take two hours. Sigh.
Here goes the meekest centrifuge in history of washing machines.
 
@Unionhawk Some of the higher end models may do that. Mine didn't (and I've had two different models).
@badp Before you put them in the dryer, I'd recommend examining some of the clothes to ensure they were rinsed thoroughly. If not, drying them may have some unpleasant results.
Odor and visible residue is common.
 
I've already forgotten to put in the little paper thingies that prevent color transfer
how much worse can it get
 
Haha, you'd be surprised
the scene from Mr. Mom where he overloads the washer comes to mind.. ;-)
 
by rinsed you mean that there should be no soap residue?
 
@badp Yep
 
11:55 PM
well what if there IS?
 
another thing about HE washers, they need to be cleaned regularly. Since there's no air gap when the door is closed, mildew grows really fast.I found that leaving the door open wasn't enough. Once a week we needed to clean it using HE washing machine cleaner (not regular detergent)

Q: Just Cause 3 - How can I find the captain?

vianna77In Just Cause 3, in order to liberate the town, there are a few things you have to do. One of them is to kill the Captain. How do I find him? There is no marker in the map or screen.

 
@badp It would just need rinsed some more
 
another washing machine cycle?
more centrifuge?
 
But you dont want to dry it with soap..
it'll just smell weird
and may have a white residue
 
11:57 PM
@TimS. We put a little baking soda in with most loads and that does it for us
 
@sjohnston We tried that too. It did extend the # of cycles between cleanings, but it didn't eliminate the need for us.
 
I don't think this one is HE anyway
unless they all are
and then again I don't think an "high efficiency" washing machine would take over 3 hours
