Q: whats the other age of other aliens?

kenthe game already says that the human can now somehow age upto 150 while special cases like Miranda can age more. Asari can live like up to a century. and frog people(sorry forgot them) can only live 40 human years. but how about krogans? and turians? and on the same question, the qurians?

 
Neat, I got the Windows 10 offer thingamajig too
Now I'm curious about the mechanism Microsoft used to add this to my notification area
 
2:11 PM
Spyware (according to a semi-loose definition of the word)
 
@SaintWacko both, yes
 
@Serverfrog What do you think about the Wave feature?
I looked at Emerson knives, but I wasn't sure about a knife that was designed to open itself when you took it out of your pocket
 
That seems like a good way to get shot
 
@SaintWacko That feels like too much risk for not enough convenience.
 
Not in any country with sane gun laws
 
2:13 PM
Not from being shot, but things like cutting yourself or something.
 
@Yuuki Exactly
Which is why I'm curious about it
 
@KevinvanderVelden A good way to get yourself arrested, then
 
@Yuuki Or someone else, by accident.
 
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo‌​ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
 
@PrivatePansy but not killed! =p
 
2:14 PM
That little hook on the back is apparently designed to catch on the edge of your pocket and pull the blade open
 
@SaintWacko That seems unnecessarily dangerous.

Q: Is there a way to make a skill autocast-able?

YannSo I was playing a bit of Bristleback, and after it got to late game, as it does, and I got an octarine core, with more mana than I could spend, I was pressing w to walk. After that game, and a certain amount of hand cramp, I was wondering if there was a way, a console command possibly to make a...

 
@SaintWacko it's nice but i think for that feature the knive is to strong on your jeans xD
 
@Yuuki that's usually what i think when I read those issues on my end, too.
 
@Serverfrog Heh
I ended up getting one of these instead
 
2:27 PM
I love how you can find SE users on Reddit by noting that they link i.stack.imgur rather than just plain imgur.

Comics Culture

Proposed Q&A site for discuss about the comics culture (all the classic and the recent ones). This Q&A site will cover all thematics : super-heroes, villains, but also about scriptwriters, cartoonists, the associates films and games, technical drawings...

Currently in definition.

 
I'd love to see Nintendo and LEGO team up to share the most cutting edge penis detection algorithms
 
Yeah, Nintendo needs it for miiverse
Apparently splatoon miiverse is especially wat
Like, more wat than normal
 
2:42 PM
@Unionhawk Tentacles. 'Nuff said.
 
Well for Splatoon, from my understanding, they pull miiverse images into the game for graffiti in multiplayer
 
@Yuuki yuuuuuuup
 
But there are some funny interviews where some of the people working on miiverse talk about the experience
 
But also this guy:

How they spent weeks looking at crudely drawn dicks
 
2:46 PM
cman... build faster damn you
 
How long do your builds take?
The worst I've had to deal with was 5+ minutes
And that was for the C half of this C/Java Frankenstein monster of a project
 
@originaluser Hahahaha
My old job: 40 minute builds
(on some platforms)
 
@fredley Dear lord
 
Usually partial builds of the module you were working on would only be ~20 seconds though
but make clean && make build took ages
 
Yeah fun times
 
2:50 PM
Although I remember our hardware projects from university: compiling a simple CPU to an FPGA took an hour regardless.
Syntax error? 1 hour build. Makes you check your code.
(actually, syntax errors were caught, but stupid logic errors weren't)
 
Stupid logic errors are never caught
The FPGA does what you tell it to do
It's not at fault if you fuck up
 
I've never worked with FPGAs, they sound like fun except for that
 
@KevinvanderVelden They are!
Implementing stuff in hardware is really cool
But yeah, that.
 
gdi
y u no
 
user15026
Walked onto campus today, and like ten seconds in I started having that odd panic of oh no so many assignments I have to do that aren't done. So that's fun :p
 
3:02 PM
@AshleyNunn campus? You working somewhere fancy?
 
Papers receiving day?
 
user15026
Neither - grad photos. Paper recieving day is on the 10th.
 
user15026
@fredley nah, I don't work anywhere fancy. I work in the tiniest ISP shop.
 
@AshleyNunn They sell ISPs? Cool
 
3:04 PM
Does the tiniest ISP shop also say "You can do the thing!"?
 
Please. Nobody sells ISPs
It's the ISPs doing all the buying and selling
 
The ISP shop is where the ISPs go to trade the souls they have harvested
 
Error error = new Error();
badp Uni = new badp();
 
cast error.
 
3:16 PM
@Unionhawk typeof(Uni);
 
false
(think about it)

Q: Should there be a question about 'Dismantling' for Witcher 3?

DavidYellAs this game gains traction the number of questions on it's tag is growing and I've noticed that a trend for specific item questions which all have a similar answer, in that the specific item can be sourced from the dismantling mechanic in the game. Where can I find monster hair? Where do I fin...

 
Arg
No Microsoft I don't want to send you more information about a thing I'm developing (well, trying to get working at this point 0% my code) crashing
 
3:27 PM
you're crashing so hard microsoft is asking to help?
 
I'm just going to ask people how do after lunch
@Yuuki ROOTED NINTENDO DEVICE CONFIRMED
HALF LIFE 3 CONFIRMED
This is stupid, I need food
 
@Unionhawk Well, I think they said they would work on region-free for the NX.
 
@Yuuki this is very hard to believe
 
You're hard to believe
 
3:29 PM
@Rapitor Nikkei is a very credible publication. They've broken Nintendo stuff reliably in the past, like the 3DS.
 
BOOM
And with that I'm out of here. Probably. I need food and my sanity
And I'm all out of sanity
 
Nikkei is also a financial publication, not a gaming industry thing.
 
But you have food?
 
yeah, but why would nintendo use android? they are plenty capable of handling software themselves
it seems they want to make their stuff easy for 3rd parties... for that they don't need android... just stop doing bonkers stuff with the platforms
 
@Rapitor Apparently, and this is also rumors:
> Many years ago, Nintendo developed an experimental open source operating system called ES. The lead developer of said project then went to Google a few years later and the whole ES project was transferred over and, as far as I know, parts of it were absorbed into the initial release of Android. Makes sense for Nintendo to "take it back" - and heavily modify it to suit their requirements, of course
 
3:33 PM
well then.
 
Also "based on" means they would just start with the Android kernel and make their own adjustments and add on their own proprietary software.
Less work, I guess.
 
and are they not currently working on Android Apps?
 
@Serverfrog they are doing all mobile as far as I know, not just android
i think something like 5 games within 2 years?
 
Food have
 
> Talk theatrical Japanese.
Which, as I probably remember wrongly, is also officious as fuck.
"Verily, it is I who wish to pronounce these words to learn and acknowledge the following information which I do not posses..."
turn around slightly and gleam at her from the corner of your eyes
"And for this I shall address thee as I make the assumption that your prior arrival to this location has endowed thee with an insight which I do not have."
turn to face her completely
"I humbly beseech thee with this question!"
 
3:38 PM
@Rapitor Actually, I don't thin Nintendo has ever released an Android game
They do have plans to release some this year though
 
@PrivatePansy right, the don't have any yet. they are working on it.
@Yuuki wat
 
i think this is the sauce you want ;)
 
@Serverfrog oh shit i was right. good guess
 
@Rapitor Context is a guy asks a girl whether the bus passed by recently and she replies with "I already have a boyfriend" and another guy chimes in and says he has a similar problem in Japan.
Where he asks whether the bus went by in apparently fluent Japanese and they invariably respond with "Sorry no English" in really poor Engrish.
 
user15026
I forgot how terrible the buses are on campus. I am so spoiled living by the major transit terminal. :p but I have a strawberry milk and possibly pretty pictures of my graduating self.
 
user15026
3:44 PM
I am mostly excited by the strawberry milk.
 
@AshleyNunn It's one of the most awesome things in this grey world!
 
It's so weird how excited people get with little pieces of paper
 
user15026
@privatepansy I am doing all of this because it makes my mom insanely happy. I personally am rather meh about the whole event.
 
user15026
Like I am happy I finished, but the whole convocation rigmarole is more stress than anything.
 
40k references make me laugh.
Especially when you combine them with other references.

Q: How can I let Serena leave me alone? (Skyrim)

SnarlyButton84I want to have a Steward but I have Serena and if I ask her to leave she won't go. I tried the mission to get Auriel's Bow but I could not doing since I couldn't find the place. Since I was stuck. So I gave up and went purchased land for a house. I want a Steward but Serena won't leave me alone. ...

Q: Do I need to bring the laboratory back to Kerbin?

SF.The related question talks about bringing experiments back from space. This can be done without penalties if a scientist "removes" the data from given device and stores it in a command module, then returns the module back home (leaving the "experiments" in space). Can I do the same thing with a...

Q: Arrow management

rlb.usaI've been playing as Ranger and love my bow. But I'm having a very hard time because I'm always running out of arrows. I went through the first level of my quest to visit the leader, but can't progress further due to level - I only got 60 or so arrows on that level, another question's answer ment...

that way they know what to allocate to their servers so things don't explode

Q: Managing "Final Destination" (death) mandates by the game

rlb.usaI've been playing a lot of nethack lately, and I'm still a beginner, but I've noticed that when you put yourself in a disadvantage, the game sees this and IT decides that you are going to die. Perhaps you are hungry - suddenly, monsters! Perhaps you are trying to stash items / clean levels or oth...

Q: Very loot! Such piles! Wow!

rlb.usaI'm still a beginner at nethack, and I'm having a hard time with loot management. Say, I just killed yet another dwarf and there's ye standard dwarf droppings on the floor. In fact, there's usually piles of them everywhere. It seems wasteful to examine ALL the items in every pile, wait for the pe...

 
@Lazers2.0 What is this question title
Are you serious
 
@Unionhawk discouraged code is discouraged
@Lazers2.0 discouraged title is discouraged
@Yuuki discouraged tone is discouraged
 
It's like someone discovered and is now trying to create hilarious titles
 
Hmm... I should probably put that as an answer, but I haven't played Nethack in forever.
 
5:00 PM
@PrivatePansy Also, /r/NewOrleans
And on occasion, /r/Texas. Though that's not so much below sea level as it is "lots of flooding, water everywhere" level.
 
@Lazers2.0 This is part of the reason people say Lawful Valkyrie is the easiest to play. You can just use the starting weapon until you turn it into Excalibur in a fountain, then offer until you get Mjolnir
 
is it naptime yet.
 
5:30 PM
Wow
I knew Nintendo was having hard times but... Android.... wow..
 
5:44 PM
@Yuuki neither of those are as cool as the netherlands
 
The dutch haven't extradited Donald Trump somehow yet, not cool enough

Is any other context needed?

Brina BrownI'm trying to play MC with some mods, and I made sure they're all the correct version for the right Forge. Here is what is happening.

Q: Black OPS 2 Prestige Awards

da beastmy friends have told me that if you enter prestige 1 and use a permenant token award, u can enter prestige 2 and choose extra classes award and u would still get a permenant token. Is that true ?????

 
@Unionhawk in other news the European soccer association is in talks to break away from FIFA over this stuff -- instead of taking part in the world cup, they'll organize european cups with invites every 2 years. That's approximately 7× more information about soccer than you give half of a flying fuck about. You're welcome.
 
@JasonBerkan Ugh, I want to watch that video, but the IGN site is just awful
Jittery, and slowing down the whole browser
 
6:23 PM
@badp In other words Europe is making their own FIFA without blackjack or hookers?
 
I have no words. The coworker(s) who wrote this test document should have consulted with me or one of the other devs before writing some of these test cases.
 
@Unionhawk that is the plan
 
Seems like a solid plan

Q: Why play with a locked camera?

JocelynI just convinced one of my friends to start playing League, and he complained about the locked camera since that's the default for new players. Since the general consensus online seems to advocate for playing with unlocked camera, when would it be appropriate (if at all) to play with it locked?

 
6:24 PM
> Win32Exception occurred The system cannot find the file specified
I can't even
Just
Kill me
this doesn't make sense
Why does this not make sense
What is even happening
 
@SaintWacko I haven't watched it yet either. I just read XCOM 2 and the hype train left the station.
 
@Unionhawk Didn't I read you're doing stuff with GDI? Does that mean you're also using C++ and MFC?
 
no as in goddammit
as in expression of frustration
Which may be applicable there too, I don't know
 
I wish you were working with the Global Defense Initiative!
 
@SaintWacko Wrong GDI
 
6:30 PM
So you're saying you don't have access to an orbital ion cannon?
 
uyhjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj
I need more coffee to put up with this shit
 
@Unionhawk An orbital ion cannon would help, too
 
All right
Here's the deal
You are going to build properly
And generate all the files you need
Or else
Got it, Visual Studio?
 
Or @Unionhawk is going to unleash the full force of the GDI on you
 
I hate you guys
>:(
 
6:33 PM
<3
 
@Unionhawk Good. Use your aggressive feelings, boy. Let the hate flow through you.
 
Visual Studio is saying, 'Heeyy.. Is this part of the build? Because I can't find it. BTW everything on hold until you come back from coffee and look at this dialog.'

Q: How do I effectively defeat the Wall of Flesh?

hotline californiaI've been having trouble defeating this monster. Even with lots of buff potions, health potions, high tier armor (Molten), and ranged weapons with plenty of ammo (Minishark), I can't seem to kill this boss. Worse, when I get it down to about 2000 hp, even if I'm fairly far away, it'll suck me in...

 
@Unionhawk Hey, I'm trying to be helpful here, but I need to know what you're working with in order to do that.

Q: How do I kill the Wall of Flesh?

Terraria SaintI've been playing Terraria for exactly one week now. I've beaten: Eye of Cthulhu, Eater of Worlds, King Slime, and Skeletron. I use a full set of Molten armor, Lightning boots, Cloud in a Balloon, and an Ivy Whip. I use the Fiery Greatsword, Muramasa, Star Cannon, Water Bolt, and Minishark. I...

 
6:37 PM
It says this file doesn't exist when I'm looking at it right here so that means it has a path wrong or something stupid and askldfhasl;kdjf;asdf
 
Is the second one not a dupe? Granted, it is on console but terraria-console bosses differ very little from the PC version; with only a minor exception in controls.
 
@Unionhawk It doesn't have permissions to the file, most likely.
Well, maybe not most likely, but it's still a possibility.
 
It might be confused for environment variable reasons or something dumb
And rebuild brings me to square one; crashing with no leads.
 
@Unionhawk Is you're project using relative paths somewhere that should be using absolute paths, or vice versa?
 
Build Error: Lol I dunno!
 
6:43 PM
@Unionhawk Can you debug?
 
Are there any dependencies that were /dropped/ from the project?

Q: How to get the golden guns in Splatoon?

GokurinI've been playing the heck out of this game for the past few days, and I noticed some players had some nice shiny golden guns. What conditions do I need to fulfill in order to unlock these weapons? (Are the they tied to the story mode, Amiibo, etc.)?

Fine
 
@GnomeSlice Tell me more, grandpa!
 
No im typing with one hand
Lunch bitches
Ugh gg I wish I got more than 30 mins though
 
@GnomeSlice What are those?
 
Making something build in Visual Studio is kind of a game. A horrible, horrible game.
 
6:54 PM
Can't see what that's a reply to
30 minutes?
Oh
Heh
Dude I ducking chugged that sandwich
 
Autocorrect is the best censorship.
 
At least I can type with two agenda Shaka. Now
hands again

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to improve anything :P
