....I managed to purchase a defective ipod
 
user15026
go me
 
user15026
going to return the damn thing
 
user15026
well, I will after aquafit tonight, maybe
 
maybe taking the ipod into the water breaks it?
 
@Ash is it actually defective? my brother made me a deal once that if i fixed hos old ipod shuffle i could keep it and all i needed to do was plug it into a computer
 
user15026
12:06 AM
@Memor-X The headphone port doesn't work
 
user15026
like it's actually physically damaged
 
@Ash ahhhh, that could be a problem
 
I'm confused. cc @Unionhawk
 
@Ash get the new one, with 100% less headphone jack
 
user15026
@Memor-X Headphones don't seat correctly and the device can't detect them. Tried every pair of headphones I own.
 
user15026
12:13 AM
So I spent 3 hours dicking around with the software issues, now this. I think that's the universe saying hey ash just keep the mp3 player you have
 
@Ash is it a second hand ipod? was it describe it as being fully functioning?
 
user15026
@Memor-X It was brand new.
 
user15026
I bought it earlier today.
 
user15026
But first I had software issues, now I have hardware issues, so I am just like okay nope no more apple shit I am done
 
user15026
Going to take it back to Walmart and get my money back and give up
 
12:15 AM
@Ash oh then take/send it back. not sure where you live but quite sure you'd be entitled to a free replacement given it was broken from the start
 
user15026
@Memor-X Not going to get a replacement, but yeah, I am taking it back to Walmart
 
user15026
and being like "here, it is broken, I don't want it"

Pretty sure more than 50% of apple devices I had needed to be returned within a week and exchanged
 
@GnomeSlice wat
 
12:26 AM
they had bad buttons, or fuct headphone jacks or the screens didn't work
"oh, you bought a brand new one a week ago? here, have this refurbished one since it came out of the box defective"
 
must be a canadian thing, i've used iphones since gen 2 and not had a defective one
 
apple just sucks
 
well yeah
 
must be an Australian thing that every apple product i've had has had no problems. hell i got a Fate/Stay Night metal case that wasn't built for my current iPhone so the size isn't quite right but i was still able to screw the case on and you have to look real hard to notice that the screws aren't in tight

Q: Where can I get ore to paint the Regalia?

VemonusI want to paint my car all of the colors, because I'm indecisive and don't know what I like best. Unfortunately, I need quite a bit of ore to repair my car. Occasionally I'll come across some blackstone or even the illusion bluestone ore, but I can't find them reliably. I know they're typically f...

Q: Divinity original sin (EE): Does decaying touch cause damage when elementally attacked, with elemental resistance > 100%?

LincolnDecaying touch skill: Make a target decay, so that it cannot be healed by magic or potions anymore, it will be damaged instead. Say there's a monster with 200% fire resistance. Casting fire spells on it would heal it by default. If it is under the effect of decaying touch, would it now b...

@KevinvanderVelden You can tell this game was finished in 2016
@Unionhawk I'm still holding out hope that all the electors just vote for @GnomeSlice
 
@Wipqozn I may have had a dozen thermonuclear bombs stockpiled for the few turns before my science victory in the game me and @Arperum just finished
I may also have gotten 9 achievements
And now, BED

@KevinvanderVelden For your first gew games you'll get a lot of achievements
yeah I'm heading off too

Q: What is the most recommended HDD upgrade for the PS4?

Hamizana newbie on this website. I'm thinking of upgrading my PS4 HDD to something that has more space. Mine right now is the standard 500GB HDD. Has anyone ever upgraded theirs? and which HDD do you recommend?

 
@KevinvanderVelden so Civ VI is the prequel to Alpha Centari

Q: Why am i being told i can't use my iPod when i clearly am?

Memor-XI have an old 80GB iPod which is used as a harddrive because the screen's been smashed. i generally use it to put movies on there and watch them on my PS3. Recently i learned that the files were just as compatible on the PS4 and it's a hell of a lot easier to keep track when watching long series...

 
@KevinvanderVelden i thought that was the ending to every Civ?
 
Did...the Last Guardian come out recently?
I'm seeing a good amount of coverage on it.
 
@Frank comes out Wed, 07 Dec 2016 in Australia. wouldn't be surprised if it was out a bit earlier in other countries
or your seeing reviewers who got the game early
 
Releases tomorrow, apparently
Unless you're AU or EU
Since NA and JP are the most superior regions
 
@Unionhawk At least they're not months apart anymore.
 
2:28 AM
then it must be review copys. guess Team ICO isn't doing that Bethesda wants to do with their future games
 
As always, though, don't pre-order games if you're not sure you really want it.
 
@Unionhawk today is the 6th in Australia so your previous statement is still true, releases tomorrow
 
Wait for reviews. If reviews are not available on release day, that's generally a really good sign the game has flaws.
 
@Frank didn't Bethesda hold back review copies for Doom until very late?
 
@Memor-X They're no longer sending out any review copies at all.
So we can just assume their games will be buggy and not buy them at release.
 
2:31 AM
@Frank no i'm saying that with Doom didn't it turn out not to be crap despite a lack of pre-release reviews?
 
@Memor-X Well EU releases on the 9th
 
@Memor-X I dunno; haven't played it. Might have reviewed well, but that's going to be an exception, not the rule.
 
@Unionhawk then AU is better that EU.....despite the fact we have the shittest ratings board
 
@Frank well generally i don't care for reviews anyway. what would a reviewer really know when reviewing games professionally isn't actually the cushy job everyone thinks with you rush playing a game and most of the time writing about it.
just like Games Testing, it's not the idealistic perfect job everyone thinks it is and can do
 
2:36 AM
@Memor-X It would actually get pretty boring and stressful.
 
@Memor-X From what I heard in Doom's case (since it was before they started their new policy) Bethseda got a bit spooked by the negative reception of the multiplayer stuff. That in turn may have caused them to doubt the full game and hold back review copies.
Of course after release people still negatively received the multiplayer part, but they hadn't changed it either.
 
3:20 AM
lol at all the twitch prime resubs happening right now
 
3:38 AM
@StrixVaria Well, I beat the first boss. Managed to save the souls from that lizard, leveled up a few times, and killed the guy with the Uchigatana. <_< So I have that now.

Q: Do combining epic/legendary skin shards increase chances of getting better skin shards?

Spidermain50I have several Epic and Legendary skin shards. Do combining them increase my chances of getting a other Epic or Legendary skin shards?

 
DON'T WORRY, EVERYTHING WILL PROBABLY BE FINE
THEY SAID
AS EVERYTHING IS CURRENTLY SHAPING UP TO BE NOT FINE
> in Congress, Fallin repeatedly sponsored bills to boost fossil fuel development on federal land and pushed to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling.
FUCKING EXCUSE ME
SERIOUS
I'm actually mad about this potentially being a thing.

Q: When does season 7 of ranked start for solo/duo?

Spidermain50I seen that the flex queue has started, but I didn't know when solo/duo started.

 
5:31 AM
@Unionhawk ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
do they not understand that once you fuck ANWR up with an oil spill you literally cannot undo it?!
 
APPARENTLY FUCKING NOT
 
there is still impact from the exxon valdez like 30 years ago
 
LET'S JUST ALLOW LOBSTERING IN THE SPECIAL PROTECTED AREAS OF THE MARINE SANCTUARY WHILE WE'RE AT IT
 
@Unionhawk I'll be honest: Everything will not be fine. While it sucks that stuff are going this way, emotionally hurting yourself over it is not going to help you. Let's all calm down, and try to think of something that might work. Maybe a change.org campaign? (white house has something similar iirc too)
 
@arda i don't know how responsive they'll be once trump takes over
he doesn't seem like the type to respond to public outcry
 
5:34 AM
iirc, whitehouse.gov is required to respond at 100k
by law
 
IIRC it is 10k
 
@Unionhawk not just executive order?
 
This response is allowed to be "no fuck you" afaik
 
@Unionhawk like the death star proposal
 
Well, Obama probably responded to that something to the effect of "no you're dumb" instead of "no fuck you" but I mean
To be fair
That's kind of a fair response
 
5:35 AM
 
it was pretty great, iirc
oh man these are fun
 
"Please do not fuck up all of our natural resources god dammit" is a little more serious of a thing
 
@Unionhawk if i recall his response was more "we can't afford it, the chicken mesh alone for the exhaust port would bankrupt the country"
 
5:39 AM
@GodEmperorDune I read that as "delivered turkey" and thought they meant to deliver him Thanksgiving turkey
 
Im not legally allowed to say anything regard that, though I do not believe he is the person behind all the terrorism people blame him for
 
@Unionhawk the turkey that's pardoned by the president every year
 
Yeah, or delivered a turkey
Then I reread
 
@arda sorry, i wasn't trying to get you in trouble

DESTROY THEIR DREAMS JOE
 
tl;dr, "no" and "something about the FBI"
I really hope Joe does call a special session of senate to do the thing for the handful of minutes democrats have a majority on 1/3
Like that would be amazing in every possible way
 
5:58 AM
@Unionhawk no, it would basically validate all the shenanigans by stooping to their level
you cede the moral high ground entirely
instead they can just block Trump's nominee until "a plurality of americans have elected the next president"
 
Hmm
I mean
It would undo shenanigans

Q: Pokemon moon giant rocks

Gr1m_reaper987Does anyone know what ride Pokemon I need to break the big grey cubic boulders in Pokemon sun and moon. And where can I get the ride Pokemon needed to break it

 
@Unionhawk the only legit way to undo shenanigans was for the dems to retake control in the election
that ship sailed
 
That's true
At the same time, though, like
You can definitely take the angle of "this was never not the pick of the sitting president, and we tried to hold hearings for this shit but that never happened so"
Odds are Trump will get to nominate Guy Fieri or whoever (because at this point nobody would surprise me) to the supreme court anyway so
incidentally, this happened:

Q: Steam Download on one machine, play on another machine using the same steam account

NormanUsing the same steam account, can I download games on one pc, and transfer them to play on another pc using the same account? My problem is, my internet at home is quite slow. So, I'd like to download all the game files at my office, and transfer them to my Laptop to play. I'll be using the same ...

 
@Unionhawk so they're not the same person after all
 
Ugh
I hate everything these homework problems stand for
"draw a ray trace for" NO
PLS
It's also 1:30

I might skip this one until tomorrow

Q: How do I high-five Dartrix in Pokemon Refresh in Pokemon Sun/Moon?

MegamawSo before I allow my Dartrix to evolve into his final form, I want to be able to high-five him like I've been hearing so much about. I can't figure out how to for the life of me. I've tried holding the cursor above his head, shaking it, everything I can think of. What do I do?

 
7:44 AM
@GodEmperorDune nah nw. He's a wanted criminal for planning the coup, and if I said my opinions about him (example: guy can't even walk, how can he plan a whole coup), it could be considered as supporting him, leading into legal fun.

Morning chat
 
Morning.
 
@arda I just fixed our software's crashbug on Turkish pcs \o/
 
@KevinvanderVelden How awake are you feeling?
 
I mean, I slept nice and long and got to work at 10 so not that bad
 
Ah yea, I got to work by 8:45
 
9:36 AM
@KevinvanderVelden neat
 
(tl;dr; crappy-ish third party software for parsing expressions does ".ToLower" I smacked it around till it did ".ToLowerInvariant" because it's code, not text)

NOPE code cares not for your culturisms
 
10:02 AM
your privilege, check it
 
10:13 AM
@KevinvanderVelden big I issue?

@arda yup
I -> ı (or something) -> "Hey, this isn't a valid character for an identifier"

why can't ı be a valid character for an identifier

Q: What happens when you shoot sand into a nether portal?

PlaceholderCurrently I am playing Minecraft Factions, and I'm trying to debate ways to make my chest room un-raidable from hybrid cannons. Now I've found out about regen chest, where you place lava over the top of them and water over an obsidian barrier and it will regen the cobblestone blocking off access ...

 
@badp thats literally what the govt site does lol
 
@arda come up with legit function names containing dotless Is?
 
It first replaces I with dotless i, then runs tolower
whole js is a mess
 
I still don't know why you guys can't have your own codepoint for your own Is
YOU ARE A STRONG INDEPENDENT LANGUAGE WHO DON'T NEED NO BORROWED CODEPOINTS
 
10:54 AM
check the js in e-okul.meb.gov.tr
it just is terrible
@badp TURKISH STRONG. REMOVE I.
great, now serbia strong is playing in my head
idk what trump is doing but tell him to continue
(first time falling after election)
 
@arda Is this dollar getting cheaper for you or turkish lira taking a nosedive?

1 message moved to Android Hell
 
@Arperum dollar getting cheaper for us
1usd was 3.2 try before election, it is 3.5 try now.
usd falling is not nice, but even buying cheap stuff was starting to cost a lot
 
@fredley Last Year Today with @fredley
 
11:52 AM
@arda doesn't that make it more expensive?
I guess it got more expensive after election and started getting cheaper now
I wish I had a lot more money and more free time, because that looks awesome

Q: Will a UK-bought Gamecube Memory Card work in the USA?

Rob SteningI have a UK-bought Gamecube and Wii (which I have been told will not work with US televisions), and some Gamecube games (which I have been told will not work with US Gamecubes/Wiis) - is the same true of Gamecube Memory Cards? They were bought in the UK and a mixture of official and third party,...

 
yay, dark ideas are popping up in my head again
@Chippies yes, it nearly got to 3.6 but is falling now, hence I'm happy with it
 
@arda no, stop. you don't have to embed VBA into your software. this isn't the 1990s any more
if you have to provide bindings at least make them for something hipster
 
throws flowers of awesome at @arda
> cursor:hand;
That's not valid css...
 
@Arperum cursor: jazz-hands;
 
12:54 PM
@KevinvanderVelden Those nukes were so very satisfactory super deadly.
@Wipqozn I'm still not sure if this is actually true or some very elaborate troll.
 
@PrivatePansy cursor: drum;
 
1:10 PM
bet you in a few years you'll be able to put emoji's in CSS like that
 
changing the mouse cursor to arbitrary things has been a thing forever
 
cursor: poo
 
and for an example of abitrary emojis see slack, discord, whatsapp
@fredley can you believe these guys haven't been through the period when it became first possible to theme the webpage scrollbars and cursors
 
@badp I actually have, to my eternal shame.
 
you youg'ns don't know the pain and suffering of MSN Messenger custom emoticons
 
1:12 PM
@badp but generally you need to specify the image, i'm talking about emojis because CSS keywords
 
wow MSN was a god amongst men
 
Somewhere on my hard disk is probably a website I wrote when I was 11 using table layouts and I made the scrollbar purple
Which of course only worked on IE
 
step 1. go to one of those glittery websites
step 2. add custom emoticons for single letters or groups of letters without any sort of care for word boundaries and the like
step 3. ???
step 4. people stop talking to you.
 
so rather than specifying the .png file to a smiley bullet point you just use smiley in CSS and every browser will implement it's own version....because you know, none of the browser can do anything consistently
@badp isn't step 2 wingdings?
@PrivatePansy i have an old website that i coded just using HTML Code in Microsoft Front Page where "design" meant putting <br> and <p> between things
 
I forgot to charge my iphone last night so it's empty

@badp thats not really what i meant by dark ideas but meh
@badp oh boy I do
Also ability to shake windows

apparently xmpp supports that too
 
Italy wat nsfw nsfl
 
@Sterno based on the url: is she following through on a ridiculous promise?
 
@Arperum yup
Ridiculous part is that the promise is for everyone who voted no in something.
 
@arda Good for whoever is involved and wants to be involved. Sure, dumb reason to vote one way or the other.
@arda That's a lot of people. Pretty sure most of them are not interested.
@arda cc @badp?
 
well, it gets people to vote, and it's her body, so yeah, fine by me
 
1:36 PM
@arda *memories*
 
@arda almost no client does buzzing
 
@badp Because of the buckets of annoyed people they'd get over their support lines.
 
2 stuff: 1) I'm too depressed to deal with anything. I should probably just sleep. 2) I have an important exam tomorrow that I have to study for, and getting bad grades on that would totally destroy my emotional well being. SO: Should I lose tomorrow or risk losing today?
 
@Arperum fair enough
@arda sleep today, take exam tomorrow
 
@Sterno Italy pls
 
1:39 PM
@arda WHat @badp said.
 
you can always review for your exam tomorrow before the exam starts
 
@badp is that a challenge?
 
no, a statement.
also don't gloss over the part where we suggested you to sleep today and take the exam tomorrow
 
@badp first exam was a disaster so i have to get around 80/100 on this one to get my average to acceptable levels though, and Im not sure a simple review is enough
 
@arda sleep deprivation adds to depression quite a bit
 
1:41 PM
@badp I'm on bus, I can't really sleep here.
 
@arda sounds like you can't be very productive in your review anyway, at least you can go in refreshed
 
from what I know about you, you need to sleep more
 
@Chippies I agree.

Q: When Cromwell pardons you for free?

klm123I tried Moon Butterfly set and made an NPC angry on accident. So I went to Cromwell The Pardoner (for the first time). The wiki says he pardons you for 1000 souls per soul level. I was suprised to see that the price for me was "0 souls". And indeed, I've payed 0 souls and the npc is not hostil...

Q: Is crafting useless for meele build late game?

PaulI'm at level 8, and already found some of the best weapons and armor in the game. Better than what can be crafted. So aside from the minor stat boost is there any reason to use crafting skills if you plan to do close combat ?

 
@arda you're clearly smart, smarter than I am, I'm pretty sure and you seem to be doing school work non-stop. How exactly are you risking your ability to not finish high school by skipping a day?!
I literally half-assed majority of my school time and I passed with relatively decent grades
I hardly did any homework ever and I skipped a lot of lessons
 
There's very little pressure in high school I realize this now after finishing it
I wish I had been more chill about it
 
I can't imagine you, of all people, to be at a risk of failing high school
 
2:04 PM
In Canada they really push you through the public school system
takes more effort to fail than it does to pass
 
Just passing and getting good enough grades to get into a good uni are different things.
 
In the UK, the Government just keeps lowering what a 'pass' is
"Record high pass rates under [Party] Government!"
 
@Ronan getting into a uni is as much a matter of grades as it is a matter of luck
 
Did you spell your name right? PASS!
 
I got into a uni and a friend with pretty much the same grades as I didn't
 
2:06 PM
We have a bona fide snowstorm happening.
 
Again in Canada just an average effort will get you good enough grades to get into uni
it's really not hard
 
Supposed to get 30 centimeters by tomorrow.
 
maybe I'm smart or something so that's why it takes so little effort but I always thought of myself as average
 
@BlueBarren Maybe a uni, but if I remember @arda is trying to study abroad for uni.
 
I guess it depends on where you're trying to go then
 
2:09 PM
I still don't think that not taking a day off for yourself literally for health reasons, just because your grades might drop a tiny bit is not a healthy approach to life
 
@Chippies I second that
 
and in programming jobs, the uni degree is often less useful than experience
 
I can confirm
 
I agree, but saying you should do something because it won't literally cause you to fail is stupid.
 
and from what I can tell, @arda has plenty of experience
@Ronan not doing it can cause him to fail just as much
 
but I get your point
 
@Ronan Wait, @Uni is offloading his homework onto @arda? For shame, @Uni!
 
@Arperum You'll find out soon enough.
 
@Wipqozn Yes.
 
2:12 PM

Q: Where is the anvil in Lumbridge?

msm.oliveiraI started playing runescape oldschool earlier. I already have some bronze bars to make me a better armor, but i can't find an anvil to make it. Is there any anvil in Lumbridge? According to this website: RuneScape Wiki there is an anvil right next to the main smithing furnace in Lumbridge but ...

 
@KutuluMike There was some presentation by someone who was somehow related to stackoverflow that did contain that quote IIRC.
 
Al Gore invented the concept of inventing things.
 
@Chippies so I got a video reply for ya
 
2:42 PM
@StrixVaria Did he also invent sleep? I could use some of that right now.
 
and the camera app deleted it. neat
