A: How to find shaminism sites

Edwin HarperNvm I just realized this site is gaming questions

 
> So it's not about gaming, but what is it about then? – Nolonar 10 mins ago
good question
what is that question about??
what's stang and lunar magic
 
Shamanism I think.
er
Shamanism (/ˈʃɑːmən/ SHAH-mən or /ˈʃeɪmən/ SHAY-mən) is a religious practice that involves a practitioner reaching altered states of consciousness in order to perceive and interact with a spirit world and channel these transcendental energies into this world. A shaman is a person regarded as having access to, and influence in, the world of benevolent and malevolent spirits, who typically enters into a trance state during a ritual, and practices divination and healing. The word "shaman" probably originates from the Tungusic Evenki language of North Asia. The Evenki word is probably ultimately derived...
 
@Chippies 0/213 never gonna win
 
Jul 29 at 22:15, by Chippies
if you have a job, you're better off buying the games, rather than spending your time entering the giveaways :P
 
12:26 AM
I've already won the Steam lottery once
I've won all of my lifetime share of Steam lotteries tenfold
THE JOKE IS THAT ONE'S LIFETIME WORTH OF STEAM LOTTERY IS POSSIBLY LESS THAN HALF A GAME
 
@Chippies but free
 
@Aequitas free for bundled games, usually worth less than a dollar each
how long does it take you to make a dollar at work?
probably not as long as it takes you to join all those giveaways every day :P
 
SILENCE!
is free
I entered to win a 9 cent game
COZ ITS FREE
 
Let me know when you win something :P
 
I'll let the whole world know!

Forest Home if you like Flow style path games, Alphabet (word game), Farm Invasion (endless runner type thing), agent Alice if you like hidden object stuff, anything by Kairosoft

Stupid phone.
 
Does Not Commute!
 
12:59 AM
Cool, thanks!
 
The pre-show animated short that played for the most Movie Night:
@Aequitas Sorry about Rabb.it not working for you, but you can at least watch this.
 
1:19 AM
Oh shit
I completely forgot about the movie today because I was reading my book
 
@twobugs King of Dragon Pass is the only mobile game anyone truly needs.
 
1:36 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Is that paid? I'm a cheap ass
 
user15026
It's stormy as hell out and super rainy but I am home and like 90% dry because the city bus driver dropped me off right in front of my house.
 
@twobugs yeah, it will cost you a few bucks upfront but it is worth every god damn penny.
Isn't that right, @Wipqozn?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Interesting. I've still never played it but everyone raves about it
 
hi guys
 
Hi @spugsley
@twobugs it's a unicorn. A wholly unique gaming experience unlike literally anything else ever. It is Very Special.
 
1:50 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz youtube.com/watch?v=659pppwniXA heard this yet? I'm in loooove
anyways, it's been a shit day. My brother flipped out on my mom earlier and then he got in my face when I yelled at him and I felt very unsafe like he might hit me
 
@spugsley yes. Jelloman's brother makes excellent music b
@spugsley have you heard this yet?
 
@Yuuki That is excellent! And a student film no less
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz not yet, listening now
it was a bad situation.
I never want to talk to him again because I hate him. But also he's family. So it's complicated
also I'm not sure how much of it is his mental illness and how much of it is that he's an asshole
it's confusing and it makes me feel like the bad person for some reason
@LessPop_MoreFizz oh hey this is pretty good. Guy's voice might take some getting used to
 
@spugsley yeah, Stickles is a screamer - the album is amazing and insane.
It's a 29 track rock opera about mental illness (specifically bipolar) that sounds like what you might get if you locked the Rolling Stones and black flag in the studio for a week and at some point the Pogues dropped by.
(That short film is like 5 songs out of the album more or less in order.)
 
1:55 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz hah, I like that image
 
The stuff I linked doesn't have the Pogues influence as much (it's more the last few tracks of the record)
 
I am going to listen to that Kurt Vile song on repeat for the next 223 days
 
Listen to some other Kurt vile songs while you are at it.
Jelloman's brother could use your support.

Q: Server wont work

josephAt my house I can play on any server I want but when I go over to my wife's house it doesn't work the names don't appear and when I click on one it says it can't connect

 
His wife lives in a different house?
@LessPop_MoreFizz do you know this guy
this is pretty good

Q: Can you connect 4 wired xbox 360 controllers to one pc?

NickI would like to play some steam games I bought with 3 other people. These are games much more suited to a controller however, and I only own two PS4 controllers. My question is, If I were to buy enough wired Xbox 360 controllers for everyone to use, would they all be able to be plugged in and re...

 
2:52 AM
@spugsley have you read the maze runner books at all, or just watched the movie?
 
@Ktash I saw the movie and enjoyed it very much. Read the first book and managed to finish it though it wasn't great and only made it through have the second because ughhh
 
@spugsley Haha, good to know. Just finished the movie and remembered you mentioning it (and liking it) so I was curious

Q: XBOX 360 E harddrive not detected

hsukI tried to install internal hard drive on Xbox 360 elite with seagate, hitachi and HGST hard drive. But the xbox could not detected any of those. Does it only detect original hard drive ? And I read somewhere, whatever the hard drive size would be, the xbox only creates a partition of 16 GB. Is i...

 
... second movie, or video games? This is a dilemma
 
@Ktash don't you have dual screens?
 
3:01 AM
@Aequitas I mean, technically I have 4
Or 5 if I want to pull out my other laptop :P
 
M E T S METS METS METS
 
@Ktash Show off
 
user15026
@Ktash What movie, what video games?
 
@Ktash well then you can play games AND watch a movie at the same time!!
 
@PrivatePansy I mean, technically, accessible to me I have 8/9 screens (depending on if my old laptop would turn on). But I was meaning ones directly in my line of sight at the moment :P
@AshleyNunn Dunno and probably Batman because I still have to finish that
@Aequitas Technologically, yes. Brain-wise, not a snowball's chance
 
user15026
3:12 AM
@Ktash I was going to watch more tv but my internet is being stupid about netflix because storms yay
 
@AshleyNunn I'll trade you storms for heat :/
 
user15026
No thank you
 
user15026
Although the thunder keeps startling me
 
user15026
I hate being hot
 
@Ktash that's weird, i'm always watching something as I play
speaking of watching shows, who watches rick and morty?
I love that show!
 
3:15 AM
Multi-tasking does not work for me. I can program multi-tasking, I just can't do it myself :P
Or maybe I should read... I do have new Batgirl and HQ books to read
... I mean, really, I should do some work, but that's probably not gonna happen, let's be real
 
@AshleyNunn My brain cannot stop reading that as "I hate being sexy"
 
user15026
@PrivatePansy Nah, that's something I've gotten used to ;)
 
@PrivatePansy Even if she were too, I certainly would remain a fan
 
user15026
@twobugs Also I forgot a recommendation - Big Bear is fun if you like Fruit Ninja sort of games

Q: Which wishlist games are available over family sharing?

BlueRaja - Danny PflughoeftIs there a way to check the intersection between your wishlist and your family sharing list? In my case, both are very large. If not through Steam, then maybe by visiting some website? Or using a browser plugin? Or an external program?

 
@LessPop_MoreFizz this is amazing
the vocals remind me of hollywood undead
although that just might be the southern california cholo influence
 
@GodEmperorDune more here: m.noisey.vice.com/blog/…
I stand by the fact that the phrase "cholo goth" is inherently hilarious though.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz well when you say "cholo goth" i picture full black knee high socks
@LessPop_MoreFizz excellent article
 
4:37 AM
@Lazers2.0 what's family sharing list
 
@GodEmperorDune I have to laugh at the dudes ego though.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz yeah, he is a bit over the top
 
I pretty much lost it at the "magic dick" boasts.

Dude is a literal gang member with two strikes, so yeah, of course not.

Yes! I finally got all of the achievements in Dark Souls 2.

Q: What happens when I upgrade a boosted building?

Chris WesselingOne can boost resource collectors (elixir pumps/drills and gold mines), hero recovery, barracks and spell factories, to make them work faster for a while. I know a barracks boost gets "paused" when the servers are down forward maintenance and one can "resume" them boost when one's ready to profit...

stabs azure
More specifically the url rewriting parts.
 
@Arperum *whispers* Djangooooooooo
 
@fredley You convince my boss.
 
@Arperum Sec, I'll go and whisper in his ear too
 
Django is too hipster for him.
 
8:05 AM
Django is like, 10 years old
 
Ya well, I can't convince him that there are loads of people who work with it, and if I ever quit that he'll find someone else who will be capable of taking over. There are loads of .net and php people to find on the market, all the rest can as well not exist for him.
And even with Django, this particular problem would still exist on an azure hosting (as I've found people with Django having the same problem that I'm having)
 
@Arperum I get emails from recruiters saying they have 'ideal graduate PHP candidates'. I'm not hiring for PHP, not hiring new grads, but more to the point: what kind of new grad decides to be a PHP dev?!
@Arperum Yeah, I can never go away from AWS now. I'm spoilt goods.
 
@fredley I think he also gets this kinds of emails and is like "oh, there are loads of php people aavailable.
 
@Arperum If you want, I can pretend to be a recruiter telling him how many django candidates I have
 
Aaaand that's the third time I get Jehova witnesses at the door here. Although this time it was a guy alone, and I didn't even give him a chance to properly represent whatever belief he was coming to portray. So it might not have been a Jehova witness, but some other bible based belief spreader.
 
8:13 AM
@Arperum Jerks
 
It's impossible to act like I'm not home, since a) The door is open. b)I'm sitting a couple meters away from it. 3) even if it was closed, I'm in sight through the window in the door.
 
@Arperum You just need to use the power of acting!
 
"I'm in the neighbourhood to talk about the most popular book in the world" "No thank you, I have no interest. Also, I'm working." "Oh, but take this leaflet with information" "nope, I'd throw in away immideately anyway" "oh... bye"
Seems like I decided on the wrong tshirt this morning. They need to give me an advance warning, so I can wear the most offensive tshirt I can find.
Gah. I remember seeing two possible solutions for this url rewriting issue on friday, I implemented one of them, wich seemed to have fixed the problem, only now I found some place where it isn't fixed, and I found a place where that causes other problems. And I can't find the other solution thing again.

Q: Why is it hard to find a Eevee in Diamond and Pearl in the Trophy Garden?

PokemonGamer2000Its just hard To find one Eevee in Pearl and Diamond. Why is it?

 
Yay! browser history and clicking on every stackoverflow thing worked. Let's see if this one fixes things.
 
8:26 AM
@Arperum I like to show those people my shelf - I already have a Bible there. Alongside with the Quran, Mein Kampf, Malleus Maleficarum, The Communist Manifesto and Also sprach Zarathustra. Basically, the "books you should have read for their historical significance, even if you don't agree with them" shelf.
Somehow, realising that I'm likely to know significantly better facts about religion and philosophy than they do makes them bow out rather quickly ...
 
@MartinSojka I don't. I really should read some of these books at some point though.

8:43 AM
Ah, Wacken, you silly place.
 
I heard they were making plans for a Wacken-Watten-Wanderung tour ... (sadly, the word play doesn't work as well in English; "Watt" means "mud flats" and "Watten-Wanderung" are organised tours on the German north coast mud flats during the low tide).
 
@MartinSojka Heh.
 
@Arperum Reminds me of the Canadian police chase commercial.
 
@TrentHawkins Yea, except in this case it's not the police pushing the car, but the 'evil' metalheads.
 
9:20 AM
@Arperum Clearly evil metalheads are trying to push the car away from their evil activities
 
9:42 AM
@fredley I did not think about that.
 
10:00 AM
I was in Sirmione yesterday. It was FULL of yellow car plates. A few red-on-white plates too.
(for those not in the know, those are respectively Dutch and Belgian)
 
Strange, we didn't give them a reason to flee their homes yet.
 
@badp Aren't german car plates black on yellow too?
 
Black on white.
 
Ah.
I had to get used to the Belgian red on white after being on the road through Europe for a couple weeks. It was weird.
 
@badp What are white on red?
 
10:12 AM
@fredley Rare. I've seen those like twice or something I think.
 
@Arperum I saw quite a few driving from Sarlat to Bordeaux the other day. At first I thought they were diplomatic, but there can't have been 4 diplomats driving relatively shitty cars down the same road
 
German car plates are generally of the form "blue background with EU symbol and white D below" - "one to three black letters on white for the area" - "registration office and technical check symbols on white" - "some letters and numbers in black on white" - "optionally some extra data for when this licence plate expires (on yellow) or which months it's allowed to drive the vehicle in". The most common exception is our invasion self-defence forces.
That would be the exceptional one.
 
@fredley That does sound pretty implausible yea. I know Belgium has some green on white license plates too, those are special plates that can be attached to any car, and are only avalaible to car repair/sales garages or something.
 
Not on this list:
A European vehicle registration plate is a vehicle registration plate, a metal or plastic plate or plates attached to a motor vehicle or trailer for official identification purposes. The registration identifier is a numeric or alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies the vehicle within the issuing authority's database. In Europe most countries have adopted a common format for number plates, such as the common EU format issued in EU member states. This format satisfies the requirements in the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic, which states that cross-border vehicles must display a distinguishing...
@Arperum Yeah, we have delivery plates, but they're usually really obviously hung over existing plates. These were not that.
 
> Red with white/silver lettering are French 'transit temporaire' number plates
whatever that is.
 
10:17 AM
These are the ones you use to drive the car from the dealer to your home (country), before properly registering them, for example. Usually have a validity measured in days.
 
@MartinSojka That's a military vehicle in the picture
 
Ah.
 
@PrivatePansy I wrote that our invasion forces have a slightly exceptional registration plate; this is just an example of it.
 
Pffft :P
 
@Arperum no this was white with red lettering
and a very noticeable B on the blue bar
OH MY GOD
THIS JUST HAPPENED
MY LIFE IS COMPLETE
(right before I lost internet connection for five minutes, too.)
 
10:38 AM
@badp Yea, you saw Belgian tourists, but @fredley saw weird French license plates.
 
@badp Why are you murdering the little newbies?
 
omg yes
This is like the only sport I've ever played well
 
@badp And why aren't you speaking English, you tit?
 
11:03 AM
@PrivatePansy because I've lost internet connection, duh.
 
Whats the slipperiest country
 
so I go check out what's my next TF2 contract
fffffffffffffff
I have been certified by the King of England to be the Worst Sniper In History Of World.
 
Greece
 
So I join a pub and top-score. That implies we lost miserably. Indeed we did.
New round, team scramble, I'm now on the winning team. After a trademark lucksman headshot and the "I'm bot" accusation I lose internet connection.
Rejoin the server and rejoin the red team.
> bp joined the RED team
> bp joined the BLU team
> bp was moved to the other team for game balance.
 
Tell me more
 
11:09 AM
Autobalanced within 0.1 seconds of joining the server. Oh well
 
It happens
 
Try my luck a little more as sniper, ignore @GnomeSlice, we are getting crushed anyway.
 
Hue
 
I score a little more for my contract, but we're now trailing about 200-0
 
Heavy 4 lyfe
I think medic was actually my most played though
 
11:10 AM
I switch to spy looking for teles but there aren't any. I do get all bots though. 220-90.
 
People kept bitcjing at me for not using the medigun they wanted so I eventually just stopped playing
 
I switch to scout and bring it to 240-180. They have an heavy medic and solly but they aren't giving a fuck.
 
Solly?
 
All the while I'm being chased by a combat medic and a sniper that, for whatever reason, only used his SMG. Also a flare pyro.
 
Unignore me you clown
Whats a solly
 
11:12 AM
One more sweep of the enemy base, 300-270. The countdown clock started
"okay I'll go grab the intelligence to stall it then just kill a few more bots and it'll be 300-300"
"then I can change classes or something"
 
Are mods even allowed to ignore people
 
and then I grab 30 cores, and the lazers align all the way upwards, and the medic doesn't kill me, and the pyro misses all scorch shots, and the heavy medic solly are nowhere to be found, and then no one contests it.
 
WTF IS SOLLY
 
The power of not giving a fuck in pub games is so amazing.
YOU MAY NOW RECOVER THE OPPORTUNITY COSTS FROM THE PREVIOUS LIVEBLOG BY HAVING THE CHAT DISCUSSION YOU WISH TOOK PLACE IN STEAD OF THE ABOVE
PLEASE BE MY GUEST
 
That was a cool story
 
11:16 AM
THIS IS YOUR CHANCE. THIS IS YOUR MOMENT. THIS IS YOUR TIME TO SHINE.
 
Who are you even taking to clown
 
GO AHEAD. TAKE THE LEAD. SEIZE THE MOMENT. JUST DO IT. MAKE IT HAPPEN.
 
Okay shia
Heh
 
NO MOMENT LIKE THIS MOMENT. AMAZE US WITH YOUR WIT. STEAL OUR BREATH AWAY.
 
Okay now it's pretty annoying
 
11:21 AM
THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SHINING, AND THEY SHINE UPON THEE. GO AHEAD AND MAKE OUR DAY.
 
...
I still want to know what solly means
 
That was the amazeballs moment of the millennium. Please enjoy it as we return to regular programming.

@Wipqozn I will but $10 :(
I'm so cheap when it comes to mobile stuff
Also @fredley what development environments do you use on iOS?
 
12:11 PM
@twobugs Fucking XCode
The faff of trying to use anything else is not worth it, and afaik the only way to build natively (particularly for UI) is with XCode/Interface Builder.
 
I see.
 
I've never tried anything else though
 
RIP
 
That's good enough for me. Thanks again @fredley
 
Also, I don't know if it's still the case that you need to buy a developer license to actually run code on a phone
When they announced Swift they suggested that policy might end
But I don't know. Basically you need access to the iOS dev centre to get developer keys signed, and without those you can't sign your code such that it'll run on a phone.

LittleCaesars808I ordered about 10 catalog items, but my mailbox was almost full. Later, I got some of my catalog items, but my mailbox was too full to fit the others in. I cleaned out my mailbox, but the other items I ordered STILL weren't there. How can I get them back?

12:37 PM
Time to find an answer of yours to upvote and ruin it!
 
@twobugs s/up/down/
 
I don't even.
Migration of data failed at random tables, so I now have to iron out whatever that failed and is still needed.
 
@fredley did you give Visual Studio a shot now that it "supports" iOS?
 
The menu wasn't working, so I found an empty table that caused it.
I inserted "null" ten times, and now it works.
 
wat
 
12:46 PM
I have no idea what the fuck this table even does, but it seems like it is required to exist.
@badp I literally called insert into tblwebsitemenu values (null) ten times.
 
oh. That's just the stupid SQL insert syntax
 
@badp Yes, but inserting "null" in a table is dumb. Even worse if it is needed for everything to function correctly.
 
I have quite a lot of tables where "null" values are, and they make perfect sense. They mean "We don't know; make something up" in my case (generating star systems based on the stellar neighbourhood data from Gliese and 2MASS data sets).
 
@badp no. Does it support Mac?
Also I hate IDEs. I want a text editor and a build script pls.
 
The only way to do that with Sublime Text 3 and Java is to run headless Eclipse
which is missing the point pretty spectacularly
 
12:52 PM
@badp Ouch
 
@MartinSojka Yea, but do they also contain other data aside from this specific null value in that row? because all this table has is an identity column and a null value. and not having that somehow causes the menu to disappear.
 
Can't you even compile Java without Eclipse any more?
javac?
 
well yes
 
@Arperum Sure: Name, galactic coordinates, parallax (=distance to Sol), spectral type, temperature, mass, luminosity, error ranges for most of those, ... Almost everything can be null, in which case the code just makes something sensible up (via a procedural generation algorithm using a per-system constant-seed RNG).
 
@MartinSojka But I'm sure your table contains rows that are not null? Because this table does not.
 
12:57 PM
Well, yeah (name and coordinates at least). In your case your table might just be referenced (via ID) from some other table with actual data though.
 
digs around in code
