Ah
@twobugs moqups.com - This site looks pretty good. Havn't used it myself
 
I feel fabulous :D
 
he has some nice hair
 
telling it yourself might be a better idea- he has me on ignore (can't see my messages) and might wonder why you made a "^" out of nowhere.
 
@ardaozkal is congratulating you on your hair
 
2:05 PM
I wish I had the balls to dye my hair
 
I really want a long hair but my hair is curly
 
@S.Wessels I hear frosted tips are in right now.
 
Draw.io doesn't easily export to image, that's annoying
Oh, it does, nevermind
 
@Ronan Not a bad idea, azure blue would look pretty sweet
 
Thanks @ardaozkal!
@S.Wessels just do it! I decied to do it last year, and never had a single second I felt sorry for doing it.
@S.Wessels Blue requires bleaching it first if you have a dark hair color.
 
2:08 PM
So China is denying they flew dangerously close to a US plane, but at the same time blaming the US for getting too close to the Chinese coast...?
 
@Arperum well crap
 
@Arperum I heard that it damages your hair pretty badly though :(
 
@S.Wessels Yea, otherwise I would've gone for blue :p I still will at some point though, not sure when exactly. Probably somewhere this summer.
 
@Arperum even a darker blue?
 
me rn
 
2:11 PM
@KevinvanderVelden Yes. blue is apparently very hard to keep on your hair too. so it'll go away rather fast too.
Mine is as puple as you can go with a dark brown base color.
 
@Arperum What would go well with brown?
 
Dying hair just seems like more trouble than it is worth, for me at least

Q: View jumping in VR games on Xperia Z3 compact

Knigge46After the update to Android 6.0 the steering/looking around in my VR games seems to be a bit buggy... I'm using a Sony Xperia compact Z3 and the problem is the following: In apps such as Google Cardboard I can look around, but after some random time, the view will center at a certain place, which...

 
dark red and dark purple goes well with brown. or black, if you are an emo or have other reasons.
 
@twobugs The fun part is the first couple times you wash your hair after you colored it. my entire bath is purple then.
@S.Wessels I started with a dark purple the first time, then after that went for "as purple as possible on this base"
 
2:14 PM
 
Will probably have to check with work before I do anything
 
So I'm prepping taboo cards, here is india.
(Main word: India. Taboo Words: Spice - South Asia - Gandhi - Civilization - Bomb (aka. Nuke))
 
@S.Wessels Yea, I did, and it was no issue.
 
@Arperum What field do you work in?
 
@S.Wessels Web development.
 
2:18 PM
@Arperum Ah ok, I should hopefully be fine then. If I go through with it.
 
I have to go do a first meeting with a company where I might work as a consultant on monday.
 
I don't really think that businesses should interfere with how their employees look. Being clean is important, but the dresses, facial hair and hair color etc shouldn't matter except for front end employees.
 
@S.Wessels Check first though. Even though hair should not be an issue at any point.
 
Business get to decide whatever is appropriate for their business.
 
I also go to work in tshirts like the one I'm wearing on the picture :p
 
2:19 PM
@Arperum is currently wearing a sonata arctica t-shirt
 
I've had jobs where despite only working with other developers we were expected to dress in business attire
 
@Arperum Yeh, I've seen situations where hair is a problem where they interact with customers regularly, but I'm pretty isolated at my desk so no problemo, hopefully.
 
That said, we have DBAs who I think have never seen the sun, based on their clothing that looks like it's from the 80s.
 
Not fully formal, but not casual either.
 
@twobugs Sounds like hell
 
2:20 PM
There's a reason I don't work there anymore ;)
 
@twobugs I've had two job offers end because of my refusal to wear formal/semi-formal
 
Like I get wearing a suite to a business meeting with customers, but regular work, nope.
suit *
 
We're business casual which is pretty fine
 
They got really mad at me one time when I wore shorts on a 'casual Friday' because it was about 85 outside and about 80 inside (just my row of cubicles didn't have AC)
 
@S.Wessels Also depends on what kind of customers. If you end up as a consultant in a bank firm, they'll be a lot stricter than some other types of business
 
2:21 PM
I work on a floor with director and VP level executives, so we have to be at least business casual at all times.
 
I sit accross my boss and I wear a hoodie and jeans. tis nice.
 
@S.Wessels has been in meeting with managers of a multinational company while wearing a shirt from some band, everyone else was wearing a suit

Q: How to create a lava survival pvp map in minecraft?

FromBabylonI'm trying to create funny pvp maps for my friends and I. I would like to go deeper and try a lava survival map. The goal is basically to make the lava go x block up every x time/tick (or replace any air block at a given height + 1 every x time/tick) How can I achieve this ? Is there any plugi...

 
@S.Wessels I don't even own a suit.
If I have to "dress up" for a customer meeting I wear a polo shirt and put on a belt.
 
Man now I'm sad
 
2:23 PM
I got a suit for weddings and special occasions, about it.
 
@StrixVaria There's always your birthday suit.
 
@Yuuki If only that were socially acceptable.
 
I have two suits, but I need to get them tailored since I've lost weight
Dry cleaning would be a good idea, too
 
@StrixVaria I need to get me a tshirt without print.
@S.Wessels Wedding with dress code formal attire: wears bandshirt
 
two reactions I can think that the wedding couple would have with that
1. They throw you out/scold you
2. They fist bump and start rocking out to [INSERT BAND NAME]'s music with you
 
2:30 PM
2 is unlikely
 
@S.Wessels I wouldn't even be mad if someone had worn a Mastodon shirt to my wedding.
 
I'm going to bring a collection of heavy metal music to my wedding in the event this happens
 
Well if the wedding band is Dethklok or something, I'm sure you'll fit in.
 
The whole cultural expectations of dress code are weird
 
I decided to listen to Metallica's discography during my commute this week after realizing how many memorable riffs they have. I'm half way through their 3rd album and it's much better than I ever gave them credit for.
 
2:32 PM
@twobugs Society as a whole is weird
 
@twobugs The way society views clothes does not mesh with the way I view clothes whatsoever.
 
(sigh) I think I may have missed a few changes when I merged one branch into another. This wouldn't be much of an issue if I were using git or hg, but I'm using svn.
 
I've never really listened to a lot of more famous bands
 
We're intelligent monkeys on a rock in space. That's weird.
 
@twobugs A lot of culture is weird, but we do it anyways.
 
2:34 PM
I actually don't really listen to music much, or even talk about it. When I was younger I got made fun of for my tastes so I just stopped
 
@twobugs Middle school is the worst.
 
I actually hate talking about my tastes in general unless I'm actually friends with someone
 
So downloading videos is a great feature but I don't think it's a $10 feature
 
I used to be afraid to listen to any music with a female singer for fear of being made fun of.
 
I listened to movie soundtracks. Still do.
 
2:34 PM
@StrixVaria This continued into high school and even some in college
 
Then in college I found Nightwish and stopped caring what other people thought.
 
I'm still made fun of for liking certain bands (like Red Hot Chili Peppers)
 
@twobugs What? They're great.
Well, some songs.
 
I'm still exploring my tastes
 
They're Too Popular, you see
 
2:35 PM
@twobugs I see that you are dealing with Idiots.
 
I have a friend to whom everything is either Too Popular or Too Obscure
 
CBS is doing a Star Trek series?
 
@twobugs And this person is your friend?
 
@Yuuki Gaming sound tracks are pretty good for focus imo
 
@twobugs Is this who I think it is?
 
2:37 PM
@S.Wessels If I ever get married there will be a lot of metal playing :p
 
@Arperum I hope you find somone who will enjoy that metal with you :P
 
Hmm, those changes did get ported over, why doesn't this work?
 
@Yuuki I doubt it
 
@Arperum For some reason, just trying to imagine what your wedding might be like, I already had Alestorm playing in my head.
 
2:38 PM
@S.Wessels I met my current girlfriend on the first row of a concert :p
 
(that is an interpreter for a gag language)
 
@StrixVaria My girlfriend actually knows Chris from Alestorm :p
 
@Arperum haha awesome!
 
@Yuuki Nope
It is not MC Cum or my Criminally Dumb Idiot friend
@fredley Eh, he's not a bad guy, just a goof
 
The bridge: inventing new and exciting ways to call people dumb since 2011(?)
 
2:40 PM
I think 2010.
 
@StrixVaria 2010? It's 1934, you've been asleep for 30 years!
 
@Ronan None of this math makes any sense.
 
@twobugs Oh good, I was starting to think that I wouldn't be able to muster the amount of intense dislike and would have to forget that guy ever existed.
 
Don't worry, he has other bad parts
 
We hating on the other bug again?
 
2:44 PM
Okay, I need to develop a program to convert from a really outdated standard to a less outdated standard
 
Make it convert to a new standard and then to the less outdated standard
 
@Yuuki If you're familiar with Cave Story, he is quoted as saying Cave Story had "ugly graphics" (he has the common sense to later deny this claim)
He is someone who gets really mad over any game that has what he considers to be fanservice but then buys Every Star Ocean Game Ever
He is my friend but I will end his life
 
@twobugs Don't ever let him play Senran Kagura.
 
He is aware of it and mad about it
 
@twobugs Objectively speaking, older games do have "uglier" graphics than modern games. This does not mean they are bad games and it doesn't mean they can't have a good aesthetic (which is the more important thing).
 
2:48 PM
I'll save my Star Ocean rant for a stream but those games (4 in particular) are really, REALLY creepy
 
@twobugs Why get mad about it though? Seems silly.
 
@Yuuki At most that's a trend, there are lots of old games that are way prettier than their newer counterparts.
Also Cave Stories art is delicious.
 
Aesthetic ages far better than graphics anyways.
 
@Yuuki From a technical standpoint yes, but he was directly criticizing the art style, which I think is silly
He also says Super Meat Boy is "ugly"
 
@twobugs your friend is dumb.
 
2:49 PM
Of the complaints I would make about Meat Boy, "Ugly" is not one of them
 
@Yuuki Oh right, aesthetics vs art. Oops.
 
They opened up a WarHammer store near me. I should check it out sometime
I just don't think I have the room or disposable income for that :P (Okay, maybe income...)
 
@Wipqozn My parents like like 20 minutes from Warhammer HQ.
 
I like the lore of 40k, or at least parts of it
Imperial Guard are my boys
Take a step back? You're immediately shot
Chance of surviving one campaign? Zero
Win too many battles? You're killed anyway by your own people
The Space Marine lore is so silly it's hard to not like
 
2:54 PM
One wonders what the birth rate has to be to support such wanton destruction.

Q: Is there a point to gaining "Connected:" quality after a certain point?

OddCoreIn Fallen London, I have reached "Connected: The Widow" to 30. Is there a point other than the loot to keep working for her? Is there a maximum to the "Connected" quality or does it keep going on forever? I have not had a unique form of interaction with her in a while. Do the things that apply...

 
@Yuuki I'm pretty sure that all humans do is fight, so at least you don't need to divert people to do stuff like farming.
 
@Yuuki I mean, when you have so many worlds, who cares
 
@Yuuki 100%
 
@twobugs Of.....
 
2:59 PM
@Ronan all the people born
 
@KevinvanderVelden All humans or all people?
 
@Ronan filthy xenos aren't people
 
@Ronan Yes
 
@KevinvanderVelden What about Space Marines?
 
@Ronan They are above simple humans
 
3:00 PM
Genetically engineered humans are still humans for this purpose
 
@twobugs A whole yes?
 
@twobugs GEDDIT BECAUSE SPACE
 
This is the cost of your ZWJ sequences. It will only get worse. T-t-thanks, Apple. 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨 https://t.co/FMG8nSqIsC
 
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
 
I just love the idea that in this horrible universe full of monsters and evil gods and ridiculous stuff there are just normal dudes sent to die en mass
And they are Very Good at dying en mass
 
3:02 PM
SCIENCE STATUS: SO FAR GONE IT COMING BACK AROUND TO THE ORIGINAL POINT
 
@twobugs I'm not sure Warhammer humanity counts as "normal humans".
 
@badp Nicely meta'ed
 
Imperial Guard pretty much do, from my understanding
 
Maybe Tau are more "normal".
 
I'm also tempted to try and get back into MtG but I dunno how well that'd work
 
3:04 PM
> Me: "They think they've ruled out cancer, and they're leaning towards it being an auto-immune disease."
Him: "Well, it sucks that you won't be able to drive anymore."
 
But you'll be immune to cars!
 
@badp "We have altered the Science. Pray we do not alter it further" - Apple
 
@ardaozkal Not sure where "major corp" appears in this article, but okay.
 
@Yuuki this sounds better, eh?
I pretty much meant companies that just shut down and all the serials and services and softwares that thousands rely on stops working.
 
3:08 PM
Well, it's one thing to release a master key and another thing to keep support legacy software.
The former is just "one and done".
They don't have to do anything further.
Whereas legacy support is something you'll have to keep doing and keep pouring money into.
 
well, adobe shut down CS2 servers and supplied a generic key
one last update to remove serial check etc is what I mean
 
Legacy support is nice, but it shouldn't come at the cost of new development and it can hold the industry back
 
> "I paid for the damn game, I have the right to use that mod."
wat

one of the good examples of that, is that Ubi removed all DLCs for AC:R, and they still sell DLCs on Steam, except that the codes just don't activate.
@Yuuki is that from r/fo4? I remember reading something similar but everything identifiable is removed in that picture
 
Probably is.
 
3:14 PM
I can see why they removed that guy's name though, lol
 
@Yuuki pc master race most polite race
 
Holy shit. Red flag so yuge it blots out the sun --> Trump's Political Advisers Wanted to Vet Him. He Said No. http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/05/trump-said-no-opposition-research-vetting
(I didn't actually read the article)
But if the assertion is actually true that's incredible
 
@TimStone wat (on the other hand matches trump's character for sure)
 
It does, but it's so insanely risky, even if you have nothing in particular that you'd be worried about
Since PR people get paid to spin things, you always want to be out in front of them
Then again, maybe his approach is just "How much worse could they make me look?"
 
@Yuuki Story Time: tens of people people raged at us when we delayed the release of translation of episode 3 of Life is Strange. We were neither officially hired nor had any gains of money. We ended up delivering it incompletely (%40 done or smth, the rest are totally %100 to every single details) and told people who said that it was incomplete to blame the people who wanted it early and spammed us.
 
3:18 PM
@TimStone i mean its also mother jones
> Though Trump would not authorize an extensive research effort to identify what oppo might be most harmful to his candidacy, his campaign did prepare responses to obvious lines of attack against the billionaire.
 
the thing is, that we were a two man team and I was in middle of an exam week and the other translator just married and was in honeymoon.
 
"Death in Space" is an animated short by @LucasAnim about the realities of space exploration https://vimeo.com/138802207 https://t.co/mxVqEIOORz
 
@Yuuki Yikes, that's awful
 
@ardaozkal See, here's the thing. I might get personally frustrated that I might not be getting a mod or something. That's a simple emotional reaction. But I'm sure as hell going to keep it to myself.
 
yeah. them spamming us just made things worse as we also had to moderate the comments while translating.
 
3:21 PM
It does nothing, helps no one, and probably hurts other people if I go whining to the mod authors, translation team, whatever.
 
yeah. people just doesn't want to understand that
(and yes, I stopped translating after that)
 
(they just hurt themselves, and I just had more time)
 
tl;dr Don't be a jerkwad.

Q: Skyrim: Looking for a mod that stops everyone from talking to you

Thomas Myron"I work with my mother, to sell fruits and vegetables. It's fun most days, but hard work." I am SO tired of hearing this line, and countless others, whenever I walk by someone. I've taken to avoiding people in Skyrim just so that they won't stop and tell me who they are, what they're doing, and...

 
3:27 PM
@Lazers2.0 recommendation request
 
@Wipqozn brb, buying this
 
the official website only shows humble link
 
People! Is this a so bad question? ): Is it worse then THIS (ONE downvote)? — Rudolf Jelínek 20 mins ago
 
@Yuuki These people suck
 
do you know Minecraft?!? If yes, did you know that 2 worlds with the same seed (a 20-digit number) ARE EXACTLY THE SAME... sorry, but I'm tending to downvote you... — Rudolf Jelínek 14 mins ago
user is clown
 
3:31 PM
Lots of clown
 
No idea. I downvoted because it seems to be more curiosity than a problem. Why others did so? No clue. As a side note, pointing at off topic questions as justification for less downvotes isn't going to work. Those will be closed and deleted. Yours seems to be on-topic, just with questionable utility. — Frank 3 mins ago
Is questioning the utility of things asked really helpful?
 
@Yuuki OH MY GOD THEM FUCKING AROUND AT THE HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL
 
I guess
 
I hate these people
 
@twobugs Yeah, at that point it stops being possible absolute idiocy and becomes malice aforethought.
(Which I know is a legal term that doesn't apply here because no murder or battery occurred)
But still.
 
3:34 PM
The School of Computing's Competitive Programming module replaced it's traditional midterm with a drink-and-code session
 
I think they're just really arrogant and need swift kicks to the balls
Possibly several thousand
 
@Yuuki Eh possibly criminal trespassing
Depending
 
@Unionhawk "Malice aforethought" is a term used specifically for murder cases, IIRC.
 
Oh cool, damaging another ecosystem so they can wakeboard in an area not suited for it
Great job, idiots.
 
@Yuuki Oh, premeditated
 
3:36 PM
Also, I dropped my phone and now it as a 1cm chip on a corner
 
That's why mine's in a case that looks like a spaceship
 
Which means I probably can't trade it in for full value at the end of the contract
 
@Yuuki They are murdering nature.
 
Humanity is murdering nature
 
3:40 PM
@GnomeSlice And we're trying to stop
 
Are we?
 
Yes
 
@GnomeSlice This is a ridiculous question
 
Probably depends on who you ask
 
There is a serious and clear effort to reduce our negative impact on the environment
 
3:41 PM
@GnomeSlice Whether we are or aren't doesn't make this okay.
 
Did I say it was okay?
 
@Yuuki Hasn't that been true for every single Pokemon region?
 
These guys clearly ignored guidelines and rules designed to protect these sites
 
@GnomeSlice Did I say you said it was okay?
 
@PrivatePansy Not really, first two are part of the same landmass
It not being just the initial island doesn't really surprise me, though
 
3:42 PM
@twobugs I think he means Cinnabar and Seafoam, but I don't really count those as significant parts of the game.
 
@Yuuki Cinnabar island was the most important place for how I played the game.
 
Although maybe I should considering each has its own somewhat extensive dungeon...
 
Meh. I'm not counting those since they're not part of the major area
 
@Yuuki Yes, that, but also because I grew up on Gen 3 so I kind of expect Pokemon to have lots of water
 
So far all we had seen of this gen was the island
 
3:44 PM
Fuck fuck fuck fuck my French press fell onto my laptop
 
Gen 3 still has the most water out of all the games I think
 
1/2 have actual landmasses
 
Although to be fair, new gen is based on Hawaii apparently.
 
Neat
 
So an archipelago isn't surprising, I guess.
 
3:44 PM
Popped out battery and everything in 2 secs and press was nearly empty but I hope it's alive
 
POKEMON HYPE STATUS: [xxxx---|--------]
 
@Unionhawk Here, you dropped this: `
 
@Unionhawk I have no idea how to read this scale.
 
That's a neat idea for a setting
 
Also, I have no idea...
 
3:46 PM
HYPE CAPACITY: [oooooooooooooooooopppp] LEGEND: o - Overwatch p - Pokemon
 
I just can't be hyped about Pokemon anymore
 
Saved SSD so everything is better now
 
@Unionhawk That just raises further questions!
 
Damm you @Ronan for stealing my line
 
@Unionhawk needs more o's and less p's
 
3:47 PM
@Ronan For more information please reread
 
@twobugs It's mostly a bunch of "o neat".
 
@twobugs I think X/Y lived up to their expectations and then some
 
I've not played the Gen 3 remakes though
 
I had tons of fun with Pokémon X
 
I never beat it tho >_>
I should do that
And also MM3D
 
@PrivatePansy X/Y was cool but I'm just very tired and frustrated with the formula
 
And also stream TWW
And eat lunch
 
I could barely play ORAS even though gen 3 is my favorite
 
3:48 PM
Panera sounds good
Hmm
On the other hand
Oh nvm buffalo chicken wrap downstairs takes priority
Because buffalo chicken wraps are awesome
and cheap
mmm... buffalo chicken wrap
 
@twobugs I'm not going to get hyped for new Pokemon until I hear about new mechanics.
 
Hopefully I've satiated at least one person on the phrase "buffalo chicken wrap"
And if I have, you're welcome.
 
X/Y didn't get marginally interesting until Mega Evolutions and Fairy-type.
 
I think it's a Taco day
I also don't like the 3d models as much as the sprites
 
@Fluttershy did you ever play FRACT OSC?
 
3:51 PM
@twobugs If the 3D models were good then it might be better.
 
Pokemon had gotten to pretty great sprite levels, the models don't have as much personality IMO
 
See that part I really enjoyed about 6th gen
It was cool to see pokemon reimagined in 3 dimensions
 
I do like the models. The sprites themselves are okay, but the animations are
 
I wonder if anyone ripped the models from the game
 
3:52 PM
Erm, the animations really leave a lot to your imagination
 
The models just felt lifeless to me
Plus they seemed to have awful performance
Even without 3d I was getting framerate drops
 
Another annoying thing about XY/ORAS is that they still haven't done anything with Zygarde.
 
I don't think turning off 3D actually reduces the amount of processing
 
Most boring trio master ever.
 
Also exploring in 3d would have been cool, but 3d is battle only
@PrivatePansy It seemed like it did, I had intermittent fps drops without 3d, but huge ones with 3d
Now, where to get Tacos...
 
3:55 PM
@PrivatePansy it does and doesn't, it halves the resolution of each viewpoint so it doesn't render more pixels, but it probably does require 2 calls versus 1 each time
 
@twobugs They could have done things with the 3D, but they didn't. It could have been sprites with no difference, apart from looking more polished.
 
I guess it kind of felt like they did the same thing KOF14 is doing, but not as egregious
KOF14 is replacing one of the series trademarks - absolutely stunning and beautiful sprites - with boring ass 3d models
 
I guess it's cheaper to make 3D models and animate than hand animated sprites?
 
Definitely
 
Depends on the number of unique animations, but I think pokemon would have enough each.
 
3:57 PM
Animating sprites (versus drawing multiple sprites for an animation) is a new thing that actually requires way more calculation than animating a 3d model
 
@Ronan It is, but Guilty Gear XRD used 3D models with brilliant filters to make it look pretty much the same
 
@Ronan that and for pokemon with similar body types you can use the same animation
 
@KevinvanderVelden Yeah.
 
@Frank I think my favorite thing about Ringo may be his little references to other scifi authors and their works
 
@twobugs True, that looks so good.
 
3:58 PM
Oh, Kingsglaive is a movie? Eh, I guess I wasn't interested in the first place.
 
Or have different animation groups per body part
 
3d models just don't seem great for Pokemon. I wonder how many animation skeletons they ended up making
 
Damnit now I wanna reverse engineer pokemon
@twobugs it's not like the skeletons are that high fidelity
 
True, and the number of animations per Pokemon isn't huge
They could probably group it a lot by body type like you suggested
