@Dorian AH! BUT YOU CAN NEVER CHEAT JUST A LITTLE! EVEN IF YOU CHEAT A TINY BIT AMOUNT IT'S BASICALLY THE SAME AS DOWNLOADING A SAVE FILE WITH ALL OF THE ACHIEVEMENTS UNLOCKED
LITERALLY THE SAME THING
NO DIFFERENCE
EXACT SAME THING
 
@badp what, how did that work?
 
if you listen to reddit
 
I didn't finish Carbon and I played it years ago, so I don't remember specifics
mostly because it was so generic and boring, there was nothign to remember about it
 
@badp But but... I just wanna look cool while I play the game normally ;-;
 
@Chippies basically you drive back and forth around a canyon and you get scored by how close you are to the car in front
if you fall back by more than 10 seconds you lose
 
12:01 AM
@badp that sounds familiar
 
if you are in the back and pass and stay in front for more than 10 seconds you win
otherwise you win by getting more points
 
@badp that sounds kinda lame
 
@PrivatePansy jog your memory
also there was a points penalty for ramming
 
oh geez the graphics
 
lol, that facecam
 
12:04 AM
@badp is that the downhill race against the lambo?
 
wow he's not having a good time
MW-new would've said YOU CRASHED about 20 times in that video
per half
 
that facecam is creepy

Q: Minecraft Mod Issue with Possession

Taymak23I have downloaded a few mods: Animals Plus, Mo Creatures, Lycanites Mobs, Furniture, Wallpaper, and Twilight Forest. I tried to research the mods before downloading, but I must of missed something. When I go to the Nether, I get picked up and thrown around to my death. When I click on the button ...

Q: Does using the skull jack on enemies in x-com 2 give research bonuses?

KenniferI know that in x-com stunning and interrogating an enemy would give you a boost to research. Currently while playing x-com 2, my weapon research is slow, but I'm yet to find a way to speed it up.

Q: Full Screen Keep Resolution

MikeWhen I start the game up it is always in 1600x1024, and then I change it to 1920x1080. But on the next launch it never stays. Is there a command line argument to set resolution?

Q: Full Screen Dual Monitor issue

MikeThe first time I played on full screen it was great. The game took up screen 1 and screen 2 was available for other stuff, I can even mouse over to screen 2.

Q: Make Guns Available?

MikeSo there is a button to make Armor and Utility Items available, that is take away from those not on the mission, but there does not seem to be an easy way to make guns available.

Still need someone to play Borderlands 2 on 360 though so tag me if someone does pop in and mention it.

The options are basically boneless wings thursday or qdoba
 
@Unionhawk always qdoba
 
DECISION MADE

I am eating mashed potatoes with roasted garlic and the deer sausages I mentioned earlier :)
 
Now, what sauces do I want on my boneless wings
 
user15026
12:47 AM
Bourbon Honey Mustard or the Mango Habanero
 
@Unionhawk Thai Curry.
 
Mango Habanero is death, but I actually haven't tried the bourbon honey mustard
 
Ooh... Mumbai Masala? I'm coming to your BWW.
 
1:01 AM
I like the Honey BBQ wings a lot. Thai Curry is great, though
 
I've not tried, went honey bbq and bourbon mustard
Before you ask, don't know, p/u 8:20
 
interesting, someone just went and downvoted my answer. maybe my answer wasnt pretty enough or something
 
@twobugs YAAAAAAAAAS
 
or maybe people just dont like thinkdifferent questions and are downvoting them now
 
I wouldn't worry about it. Some people are just going to downvote for silly reasons and there isn't really any way to stop them. I feel your pain, though.
 
1:08 AM
Or maybe it was @Frank and @TimPost lost his keys because that's a totally a good explanation for those without the context for the message behind that meta
I mean, what
 
@Unionhawk i read that meta, and what you just said still confuses me
 
Speaking of keys, where are my keys
 
@Unionhawk where ever you put them last, provided someone or something else did not move them since then
 
@Dragonrage people downvote for whatever reasons or no reasons at all. Don't think about it.
boo, poorly cropped
 
1:28 AM
Hmm...
I set a user variable and it's not returning properly when I echo.
I set %GRADLE_HOME% to Gradle's filepath and echo %GRADLE_HOME% just returns %GRADLE_HOME%.
Whereas echo %JAVA_HOME% returns properly.
 
You closed the window where you set the variable and then also restarted cmd?
 
Did you set GRADLE_HOME or set %GRADLE_HOME%?
only the former will work
 
1:43 AM
Does a game called Density exist?
Because if not... It probably still shouldn't actually
 
Oh, not actually PC release
 
Bourbon honey mustard is pretty good
 
People just were posting that as "haha this would be so cool"
(Don't get me wrong, it would)
 
@murgatroid99 I used the Control Panel GUI rather than the command-line.
@TimStone Yep.
 
1:50 AM
Went to Panera. Kid asked me if I was a witch. Success.
 
@Yuuki It doesn't rely on another variable does it?
 
Kids always talk to me at panera for some reason
 
Actually wait I think I'm thinking of a different symptom
 
@TimStone No.
@murgatroid99 But I also set %JAVA_HOME% and that works.
 
Yay, @Unionhawk got a critical shot
I mean he had a 40% chance crit on a 99% chance hit but I'm still surprised based on past aim performance

I am kind of tempted to ignite the ITG argument on BCG. We just had someone create a tag they can't write a wiki for because they named it after the game name someone thought they remembered in an ITG question from 3 years ago.
 
@murgatroid99 do it
 
user15026
@murgatroid99 This sentence hurts my brain
 
@AshleyNunn Oh good, it's not just me
Also, I can no longer get new records for shot accuracy
 
Hmm... if I cd to the bin folder, I can execute Gradle.
But I can't do it despite having adding the Gradle bin folder to the PATH variable.
 
@Wipqozn I not only won my base assault, but did so flawlessly! flex
 
2:39 AM
@Sterno Nice! I had one guy take a hit, but everyone else got out fine.
 
I really like the way you start in concealment now
I just wish that if you wiped out the enemy squad immediately when you noticed them by properly using overwatch, that you'd remain in concealment
 
Problem solved!
 
@Yuuki what was it?
 
@GodEmperorDune For some reason, there's a user variable named PATH.
I've been editing that this whole time.
 
instead of the system?
 
2:50 AM
@GodEmperorDune Pretty much.
 
always fun
 
@SaintWacko The loud gunfire is probably a giveaway you're there.
Honestly just be happy the other pods don't investigate the noises
 
3:07 AM
Man, just had my first convoy intercept mission
That was a tough one
80% wounded
 
Oh, huh, I didn't know Rangers with Phantom were concealed even on non-concealment missions
 
@Wipqozn That specialist ability that can give other soldiers the overwatch ability with reaction fire is awesome
 
@spugsley You are just stunning beyond belief. Love the new hair <3
 
@TimStone Yeah, and a later talent lets them re-conceal
It's not amazingly useful but you can get some big plays with it

Q: How many turns does a Shieldbearer's shield last?

DarthPizzaThe Shieldbearer is an Advent soldier type that can add a layer of shields to himself and any nearby allies once during a mission.

Q: In what order do psi abilities expire during the next turn?

Q: Is there a permanent hacking strength bonus after a successful hack?

ReactormonkI remember reading something about gaining hacking strength after a successful hack permanently - is that true and how much is it?

 
I hate and love being a student
Pros of being a student: nobody judges your lifestyle. Cons of being a student: your lifestyle includes not wanting to do homework on a Thursday
 
@Unionhawk i thought the cons of being a student were tuition and paying to do work
 
Nah, the main cons are related to having classes on Friday which is the day after Thursday

Q: Running xcom 2 in the background

HarryI have xcom 2 open in windowed mode. On loading screens (they're very long) or dialog sequences I would like to tab out to do other things, like read my emails. Yet I don't think xcom 2 is working while i'm tabbed out. How can I make sure it's running?

 
@twobugs Zu Pharg is rough.
 
Yeah, I had to really start taking Skells seriously
 
@Dragonrage On the order of 55 iirc
Yes, 55.0 mph
 
@Unionhawk ok so i go about the same. i think mine was about 53ish or so
 
@twobugs I wish Crystal Surges weren't so random.
I'd like both my damage spells to have Light attribute.
 
4:56 AM
@twobugs I could do it, if it wouldn't keep summoning reinforcements.
I got two dishes down before it summed two jets and two Qmoevas.
 
is xcom interceptor and the others worth getting?
these ones - X-COM: Apocalypse, X-COM: Enforcer, X-COM: Interceptor, X-COM: Terror From the Deep, X-COM: UFO Defense
 
I had to abuse G-Buster
I highly recommend you farm a G-Buster if you don't have one
And if you want to be a lamer there are some good places to farm with skells
 
@Dragonrage My top at Steamboat was 60 iirc
Slopes I knew, slightly steeper, way less people, no slow zones for a while, groomed daily, at chair by opening time
 
@twobugs I figure I'll just level up Hope some more to bring her up to the rest of my guys, and then try again.
 
I recommend using all medium/heavy Skells
 
5:01 AM
@Unionhawk i hit 53 at mammoth, ive only been there twice, im hoping to get higher next time
 
The stat to watch is vertical
Then again, the stat to watch is funness
Which is immesurable
sage nod
That's the conclusion we all came to at the end of a week of RFID-powered stats and even goddamn badges at Park City
I might head to perfect north this weekend
It's a tiny little 400 vertical foot hill if that
Yeah, 400 feet, 100 acres
Peak at 800 feet above sea level
 
@Yuuki Yeah, and getting the right mutations is a big factor
 
I still can't develop any Skell weapons or frames.
 
Those are basically all level 60 stuff
I think a good portion are gated by the final boss

Consoles like the Wii are designed to be hooked up to a single display with a specific maximum resolution. There is no need for the game developer to design the engine to render well-defined content outside the 854x480 viewport of the Wii. There may be more data outside the viewport in the framebuffer but you shouldn't expect it to be well-defined. — bwDraco 11 mins ago

Q: What types of enemies can't take cover?

DarthPizzaAfter playing through quite a few missions, I've come across a number of different enemies that seem to be unable to take cover (which I've found by mind-controlling/hacking them).

BUT THEN THE KITCHEN LIGHT DIDN'T HAVE A WORKING BULB
@TimStone Sample size: people with kids
(or people with kids and @TimStone, I forget)
BUT STILL
Actually, "has kids" is not a bad threshold for "is old", realistically speaking
Because being old is less about a number and more about having actual responsibilities and shit
Actually that doesn't hold up because @Wipqozn is an old man who goes to bed at like 8:30

I'm glad Lazers is around to bridge the Uni to UK changeover.
 
@Ronan Yea, having these messages about how long it's been silent are not always conductive to conversation.
 
@Arperum I know you're mocking me but I'll take it.
 
@Ronan I tend to mock everything and everyone, including myself.
table in a table in a table is best table. Especially if for some horrible reason the design of the site is also done with a table.
removes two layers of tabling
 
@Arperum It's tables all the way down.
I thought you were talking about somehow nesting tables in a database to start with.
 
@Ronan The fun part was that the inner table was the only thing in the table one up, and the same was valid for that layer of tabling.
@Ronan How would you do that?
 
9:44 AM
@Arperum No idea.
 
@Ronan Or can you see extreme denormalisation as doing that. remembers a DB where 80% of data is basically found in a single table ANd then there was some extreme abomination of a stored procedure that would take this input and denormalise it further. Idid protest so much when I had to write that thing. "This is a bad idea. Stop doing what you are doing. Fix your DB and you won't need this nonsense"
"Do it anyway"
 
@Arperum My favourite words.
 
To be fair, I'm kinda proud of the endresult of the query, it only takes 1.5 hours to run it, even though it has to kinda crossjoin this huge table with itself multiple times.
 
@Arperum Only.
 
The earliest versions took literally a day to run.
 
9:49 AM
@Arperum Wow.
Maybe they should fix their database.
 
@Ronan Crossjoining is something you do not want to do on huge tables.
@Ronan Yea, no. do the thing to merge this data even further.
I don't know how many times I told them to fix the bloody DB.

The fun part about this procedure is that every time, my CPU fan min speed is reset to 600 RPM, but my fan doesn't reach that speed during the boot process
so I first have to dive back into the BIOS to reset that speed to 200 RPM
 
urgh yeah

nearly done then \o/
 
this is just the preparation for tomorrow though
I'm doing the BIOS-related steps today
and then the rest the day after
I'm planning on getting up at 7 AM on Saturday, because everything I download before noon doesn't count towards my monthly allowance
So the more I get done before then, the better
 
I.... hmmmm
 
@NateKerkhofs scribbles notes Does this only count for weekend days?
 
installing chrome I fully agree with
ublock stuff if you feel you need that too
 
10:24 AM
There is some part in the night that only counts half, didn't know there was a timespan that didn't count at all.
 
@Arperum no, for all days of the week for Telenet ISP, and only if you go for the packages with a fair use policy for download cap
If you have a download cap for Telenet, it's as you say
 
@NateKerkhofs Ah. That explains it.
 
hmmm bios updates
pffft.
 
So Danger 5 is pretty great
 
I'd only be doing bios updates for a specific reason.
 
10:26 AM
@NateKerkhofs this is what we have computers for. So you can sleep while it does the work. Just automate that shit =p
 
But I got Whoppa (digital TV, cable and Internet), so I get unlimited downloads before the noon, and can download 500 GB after noon, resetting on the 28th
 
@NateKerkhofs Fair use policy is bullshit. "You get unlimited download data. Except if you download more than we think is acceptable, then we'll smallband you anyway"
 
@djsmiley2k I'm doing it for a specific reason: security
 
@NateKerkhofs Mine resets on the 5th.
 
@Arperum To be fair, 500 GB is quite a lot. I mean, I live with my parents, who watch Netflix regularly, and I download games and watch Netflix as well, and I havent yet had problems with it
Okay, looks like the procedure has changed between 2302 and 3207
 
10:28 AM
@NateKerkhofs I agree. But still. Don't advertise with no limit if there is a limit.
 
@NateKerkhofs ok, what security is your bios update adding?
do you know what it changes? what it does?
Hi, I want to update your house with these super secure new locks!
'but that lock comes with a key you've kept, I saw you put it in your pocket!'
But it's our newest super secure lock! It's new! and better!!
'but you've got one of the keys!'
Thinking about security is GOOD. Blindly believing everything on the interwebs isn't.
 
@djsmiley2k sedates
 
They also improve system stability and such
 
I guess bios updates these days aren't so hard but I still wouldn't do them without a specific need.
Also, encrypting the drive, isnt' going to protect you much
