@Lazers2.0 All I'm hearing is "Valve is improving my game, and I DON'T LIKE THAT"
 
@PrivatePansy yeh idk
pcgamer.com/… free game if ou want
 
@PrivatePansy Sometimes the updates are big and it bothers people with limited connections.
Never been a problem for me, though.
 
@twobugs It's an online multiplayer only game
 
Well, it can start downloading when you're doing something else and end up sucking up a lot of bandwith
and when you get several big updates per week, it can be a problem for the peasants.
Not for me!

12:37 AM
@twobugs unless you set it to manual updates
which, if it's an issue, you should do

Weird, Internet Explorer still exists on Windows 10

I found the original so disappointing that I'm not sure I even want to try it
 
@Ktash I was on vacation and caught the first episode in the hotel room. Now that I'm home I don't have a TV subscription so I can't watch it, and I'm a little disappointed.
So I guess that means the pilot was pretty good.
 
@StrixVaria Hulu :P
 
Doesn't that cost money?
 
@AshleyNunn Yeah... I'd wait. If it turns into something, I'm sure you'll hear about it
@StrixVaria No. Ad driven
 
1:16 AM
Oh, nice.
 
It's like TV, but in your browser
 
I should check that out.
 
You can pay (I do), but that's for watching without ads and watching stuff early and all that
 
I pay for Netflix, and don't particularly want to pay for both. I'll deal with ads for now.
 
Yeah, it's fine with ads. There's nothing wrong with it. I pay for both mostly because I don't have a TV subscription anyway, and my internet is cheap, so I figure it was a good trade off for still getting to watch lots of good shows
Plus, now that they have the no ads option, that is really nice
 
1:19 AM
Oh, looks like it's a little time-limited. You can't go back more than X episodes, depending on the show.
That's still better than nothing though.
 
Yeah, it's for new stuff only
Well, mostly.
But yeah
Time-limited backwards and some stuff you may have to wait a few days after it airs
But overall, a decent free alternative if you have no tv or miss something
 
Yeah, definitely. For some reason I thought it was just a direct competitor to Netflix with a potentially different selection.
 
Nah. They work fairly well to compliment each other, imo
 
HI CHAT
 
Hey, that's me!
Hi, LessPop!
 
1:25 AM
I have had a beer and a beer and a pizza and a beer and an indeterminate amount of rum and a beer and a beer and am about to order some ribs I think to go with another beer or maybe some steak tips or chicken fingers I am not sure but I am certainly going to have another beer and a beer and maybe another beer.

Today it's trying to limit me to small- or medium-size units for no apparent reason, and the la...

 
Also Hulu is good because Hulu has Difficult People which is a good show that all of you should watch because it is very good and very funny.
 
Hulu, or Hulu+?
Also, Agents of Shield season 3 starts tomorrow, I think!
oh. Kalina's back.
 
It's. Hulu original so I think it is only on Hulu +? IDK I'm still using my ex girlfriends login three years later but that's okay because she uses my HBO go even though we never talk.
 
I found out that my cousin's getting serious with his girlfriend when I saw he had added her a profile to his netflix account (which I also have access to, as long as the cookie holds!)
I guess what I mean is, I understand where you're coming from.

Sharing streaming accounts is the new "facebook official" :P
 
Apparently I can get ribs and steak tips! Truly this bar at a bowling alley is a land of wonders and enchantment.
@AshleyNunn with the difference that it persists for years post breakup, whereas "Facebook official" tends to be revoked very quickly.
On the plus side, this bar is not playing the red hot chili peppers and is also not playing Blues Traveller. So I will take it!

Q: Are you supposed to ignore the adds in boss fights?

YuckAre the strike boss fights designed so that you are supposed to clear all the adds then focus on the boss, or will adds continue to spawn so that you can't ever really get ahead? It's hard to tell since most of the people in queue want to rush the bosses. Traditional MMO experience tells me that...

 
Hm, I really like the new Destiny expansion but I feel like I'm almost getting gear too fast. I'm almost done with my exotic collection (at least, with collecting the exotics I care about).

Q: Pokemon ORAS wondertrade problem

LolzyI have got a few pokemon that I don't have in my pokedex from wondertrade in ORAS and I want to add them to my pokedex, but I don't know how. Can someone please tell me what to do?

 
@Frank badass as usual, especially the detail on that tip thing
 
@GodEmperorDune What tip thing? I haven't really done anything special, other than paint it.
 
this one
the wires and stuff inside
 
@GodEmperorDune I thought that's just reflection
or possibly real wires, considering @Frank was adding LED's to some stuff
 
3:45 AM
@SepiaLazers that guy and his tag posts
 
@GodEmperorDune Oh, that.
Yeah, those came pre-made.
You press down on the top, and it lights up and spins.
I just painted it.
 
well it still looks good
 
This thing will be so beautiful when I'm done all the detail work.

Q: How concerned should I be about fake art?

Ashley NunnI unlocked the ability to put paintings and such in my customers' homes, which is great, but the game warned me about fakes. What happens if I put fake art in a home? How can I tell what fake art looks like?

 
@Lazers2.0 so begins this tale of woe, of @AshleyNunn and the fake picasso
 
@GodEmperorDune same
 
@Arperum I mean, there's worse.
I have to share most of my classes with absolute gits around the same age as me.
 
5:34 AM
@Lazers2.0 i can answer your second question tho
it doesn't look like the real art
 
And that's actually what the norm tends to be for teens. Not like me.
 
@Texenox you go to school with distributed version control systems?
 
@GodEmperorDune HAHAHA
 
@GodEmperorDune Thanks for the good laugh.
No, I meant this kind of git.
And it also kind of shows in other cases that I'm not particularly good with people, particularly my own age (or people on the Bridge for that matter).
 
@Texenox practice makes perfect
or good enough, anyway
 
5:40 AM
@Texenox you a pom?
 
@Aequitas Huh?
I don't get what that's supposed to be.
 
Alternative names for people from the United Kingdom include nicknames and terms, including affectionate ones, neutral ones, and derogatory ones to describe British people, and more specifically English, Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish people. == Terms for the British in EnglishEdit == === BritEdit === Brit is a commonly used term in the United States and elsewhere, simply as a shortened form of "Briton." It was considered offensive historically, but has become somewhat more neutral over time, and is increasingly used by the British themselves in international contexts. === British...
 
Oh yes.
British.
 
@Texenox no pom
:p
 
Also, wow. Kalina's most starred chat message here where she sets fire to people was in fact when she set fire to me.
 
5:43 AM
@Texenox grats, i guess
 
@GodEmperorDune It's almost flattering in a sense.
 
@Texenox stars the other one
doesn't know what's going on

Morning
 
mronrroirnrrinrg
 
I'm still sick
It freaking sucks
 
what sorta sickness?
 
Morning.
 
Oh wow, who's the father?
 
7:48 AM
Morning
Also it took me way to long to realize what @PrivatePansy was talking about
 
@badp Seems like a cold: stuffy nose, sore throat, coughing, everything hurts
 
@KevinvanderVelden I still don't get it.
 
@Arperum @badp asked what kind of sickness, and you said morning
 
@PrivatePansy Ooooh.
 
@PrivatePansy Oh, I get it. IONGEDDIT
 
7:52 AM
Ahhhhh
 
I need more sleep. I went to bed at 5AM.
I blame Civ V
I got a culture victory by eradicating everyone else.
 
Morning sickness, also called nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP), nausea gravidarum, emesis gravidarum, and pregnancy sickness, is a pregnancy discomfort that affects more than half of all pregnant women. Symptoms may be present early in the morning and reduce as the day progresses. However, in spite of its common name, nausea and vomiting of pregnancy can occur at any time during the day. For most women the sickness ends around the 12th week of pregnancy. Related to increased estrogen levels, a similar form of nausea is also seen in some women who use hormonal contraception or hormone ...
 
Yup. Got it.
 
@Arperum Civ - Where genocide is a valid strategy
 
is always appropriate
 
7:59 AM
@5pike I found it noticeable because I actually got a culture victory, not domination (I had disabled domination because I wanted something else for achievement reasons)
But then I ended up playing as the huns, and stealing every single city in the world.
and once I found the last chinese pikeman that was hiding somewhere I suddenly won.
 
Note: I never played Civ, so I have pretty much no idea about it.
 
Oh, I thought you conquered their cities then charged their tourists money to see their own stolen artifacts after you made peace with them
Which actually happened more than once in history
 
To the victor fall the spoils
 
The Brave New World expansion added museums. If I can remember correctly, your civilization can produce artefacts through Great Artists, which gives you a culture bonus
You can house them in museums after you research the appropriate tech, and at some point, I think it was Industrial era, tourism becomes a thing.
 
@PrivatePansy I started doing that, that was the plan, but once you eradicate a civ they are removed from the culture opponents, so while that one chinese pikeman was still running around I was doing just that, once I killed that one, I won.
@PrivatePansy Tourism can be a thing earlier if you somehow get the required great people earlier.
 
8:06 AM
Civilization allows for strategies which are really ethically dubious, until you realize a lot of them happened throughout history too
A great deal of the exhibits at the British Museum are from it's former colonies and all the places it conquered
 
At some point you get access to archeologists and that's when tourism gets way easier to acquire.
 
I love that mechanism. The locations of the artifacts are all places where battles were actually fought previously during the game
 
@5pike see also: Undertale
 
@badp How is undertale?
 
applies fire directly to their forehead
 
8:12 AM
@5pike Earthbound with a touch of Ikagura and maybe Fallout
 
@badp I heard you can beat the game without killing anyone. How feasible is that?
 
@5pike I've done that.
so: definitely doable.
 
Well, that sounds nice.
Don't know if I'll ever play it, though.
 
It's €10 on launch so it'll be dirt cheap $soon
 
@badp It's not about money.
 
8:16 AM
then you do not have a good reason not to play it.
Unless you're like on your deathbed, or something.
 
@badp I do - I just don't feel like playing it right now. Since October is pretty much vacation, I'm thinking about travelling somewhere.
 
@5pike Do a trip through Europe to visit Bridge people!
 
@5pike That's not a good reason to not ever play it.
 
@Arperum Honestly, I thought about that.
 
Or see if you can visit the Canadian bridge people before they are snowed in.
 
8:21 AM
@Arperum are they ever not?
 
@badp Yeah. That "ever" was exaggerated.
 
@badp I think there are some months where you can get to them because there isn't that much snow.
 
@fredley Has anyone found Waldo yet?
 
@TrentHawkins Tell badp it's an incremental
 
8:33 AM
The scary part are all those Facebook links to people. Unless they were stupid enough to add them themselves, in which case fair enough.
 
@badp New incremental - "Finding Waldo: High Definition Football Edition". You get points for finding and clicking on Waldo (and telling us where he is).
 
@MartinSojka They added them themselves
 
i feel like I'm missing out.
it doesn't load here.

public class Hash

Yea, brilliant code that.
 
:D
make sure to use the hash function on all your passwords...
 
Marker class?
Though I'd expect at least a one-line comment on why somebody would want to create a class instance of (a child class of) that, or check if a class is an instance of Hash, and in general make the base class non-instantiable, but that's just me.
 
Probably a case of new Hash().GetHashCode()
 
@MartinSojka Nope, pretty sure it's unused.
@djsmiley2k I found this thing because I have to sort of connect multiple projects on userlevel, which is interesting. Since the password security goes from Horrible to good over the various projects.
Yay, the file is there since forever, or at least since svn got introduced. it's not a random fuckup from past me.
 
Past me is the worst.
 
9:35 AM
Not as the worst as past @Wipqozn
 
@MartinSojka Yes. Past me used bloody not-so-secure password hashing things.
Although, it was a massive stup up from what an ex-coworker did.

Sounds like a lot of Skyrim questions, but I've not played the game
 
I don't know about leveling up a wolf form tho.
 
Hmmm... I wonder if I could do some maths to predict question tags...
 
@djsmiley2k I think he means leveling the werwolf skill tree. I remember reading that being added in some DLC. Haven't played since, so no clue how it is supposed to happen.

> for two long?
cc @fredley you've got a typo there.
 
w and o keys too close together
 
@fredley: "Yes" to the "dweller will remain pregnant" part. This always happens when you don't have enough living room to put a newborn baby in.
As to the "become unpregnant" part ... did you try arranging for an "accident"?
 
@MartinSojka So the only way to become unpregnant is to kill someone?
 
@fredley Possibly, and removing the corpse. I didn't try though.

Actually, would you even be able to open a vault from the outside?
 
Raiders can
 
@KevinvanderVelden By "destroying" the door
 
@5pike still kinda opening the door
 
@KevinvanderVelden You wouldn't want to do it to your own vault though.
 
@RonanForman you would if you left your keys inside!
 
11:20 AM
@KevinvanderVelden Yeah, but I'm questioning whether there would be any kind of key to begin with.
 
The door seems to be fixable in 0 time with 0 resources
 
@RonanForman the key is explosives
 
Breaking down the door is only slightly incovenient
 
I guess you're the overseer, and you stay behind anyway, so you can open it.

Part of it is that the orchestration and texture tends to be very flat: the same combinations of instruments at the same volumes. It ends up sounding like film music, and not in a good way.
It's like it's been written for 3-4 instruments (as you might have in a band) and scaled up to an orchestra, rather than being written for 100+ separate, independent instruments from the get-go.
 
Now I'm listening to this again because my knowledge of orchestral classical music is so limited. I mostly only know piano solo pieces.
Although this is good.
 
@fredley It is, all the songs have a "normal" version (with 4 instruments and vocals).
 
@Arperum Yeah, kinda guessed. Doesn't do it for me I'm afraid.
@StrixVaria Used to live with a concert pianist. He'd get drunk and play this. Good times.

@fredley Heh, no problem. I'll see if I properly saved that piece of data when I find another of these things. They are pretty rare, so I might forget.
 
@fredley Let me try this out.
