@ChromeSlice fine, but my next question is why are they advertising it on comedy central at 1 in the morning
Like, that isn't your target demographic guys

Q: Living quarters limit in Fallout Shelter

SarahIt says my living quarters limit was reached but I only have 184 dwellers. What's the maximum amount of dwellers you can have? I'm trying to get my vault to go all the way to the bottom.

 
ugh, i hate windows update
why do you take hours to calculate what the hell is going on
i run apt-get update on an ubuntu box and have an list of stuff to update in minutes
even on an ancient machine
ffs microsoft

AC4 feels unlike any other Assassin's Creed game I've played.
The focus on naval exploration and combat means it plays much differently than the earlier games I've played.
On land, it's still familiar Assassin's Creed.
The home location (which is reached at the start of Sequence 4) builds out like it did in AC2 but not anywhere near as extensively.
Well, let's get back to pirating. Aarrr...
 
So today London is at the polls, probably replacing our current Trump-alike mayor with a Muslim

Q: Can I save my progress in GTA 5 and load it again when I have a gamertag and when I am NOT connected to XBOX LIVE?

Sri Harsha Can i load Grand Theft Auto 5 save game and story mode without internet if i have a gamer tag and when i am Offline and not connected to the internet??

 
@fredley He's probably going to be really upset when he realises he'll have to get a haircut to find a new job
 
@fredley getting rid of Trump alikes is good.
 
@GodEmperorDune Windows updates worst updates, by far.
 
7:36 AM
Did he try to make London great?
 
@fredley 2 hours later, still at 0%
 
@TimStone He's stepping down to try and become PM, by campaigning to leave the EU
The rhetoric basically being make Britain great again
@GodEmperorDune Maybe I'll reinstall my OS while your update runs
 
@fredley you'd probably win
 
@GodEmperorDune I haven't used Windows for so long
 
i think the open overwatch beta will be over by the time these updates finish

hehe
how you doing @Ronan ?
 
@djsmiley2k Can't complain. Not since the robot overlords took over.

Q: Is Ornifix required to complete dark souls 2?

david99worldSo I accidentally killed Ornifix in the shaded woods. I'm a sorceror so having a look at the things I can buy from her, it doesn't look like I've completely screwed up. How "game breaking" would my mistake be? Am I still able to finish the game without too much trouble?

Oh sweet
The overwatch beta is going tolast right until stellaris comes out
Take THAT @agent86
That'll learn ya
oh hey, @agent86 is in chat two days in a row
he must have decided he doesn't hate us anymore or something
I do want to go back and finish my pyromancy playthrough in souls 3 though
oh right, @Robotnik made ahuge meta post I should read
Man, look at @Ronan, making huge meta posts,
Zeus damn it @Ronan stop trying to steal credit @Robotnik's meta post, and change your name
Go with @Ranon instead
In anycase, @MBraedley is cool dude, and actually went to bed before me last night
I went to bed at 11pm last night @MBraedley! ELEVEN! WHO'S THE OLD MAN NOW?!?!?!

@Wipqozn To be fair, that was only 10 minutes after I left the game, and I wasn't in bed until 11.
 
In anycase, good meta post @Robotnik. I agree with it, although tbh I'm not sure if I agree in the specific case of of that sphinx question (cc @Frank). It's got nothing to do with it being based on a joke, remove the joke and someone is asking if there is a Pokemon which fits an arbitrary set of criteria. If someone asked "hey man, is there a Pokemon who has a blue nose and a giant yellow tail who hops around like a Tiger?" would we consider that on-topic?
@MBraedley bah! BAH I SAY

@fredley That's not really all that surprising
 
@fredley Unfortunately the study methodology is also full of bullshit
 
@PrivatePansy no ssshhh
 
11:46 AM
@PrivatePansy bullshit cancels out bullshit, right?
 
@fredley After holistically studying the neo-classical quantum space-time synergization methodology of the experiment in question, I would say yes
Ohai @agent86
 
12:00 PM
> In this contribution, bullshit is used as a technical term which is defined as communicative expression that lacks content, logic, or truth from the perspective of natural science
Wait, if the study is full of bullshit and we find the study profound, WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

12:13 PM
@PrivatePansy Wait, so does that mean @fredley is...
 
@twobugs oh. oh god.
 
6 edits and I skipped all of them because they're really minor and I'm too asleep to make a good judgment call on that
 
@Wipqozn meh. overwatch. I'm a destiny addict, though.
 
someone has made a dance version of "the ship is on fire, salta, salta, salta, salta, salta"
 
@PrivatePansy ohai
 
12:22 PM
and someone else is playing it at full volume
and someone else named themselves @agent86 and showed up in my chat room
how did I end up in the crossfire of such a string of poor decision making
 
@agent86 How're the recent updates? I haven't played Destiny in months
 
@badp pew pew pew crossfire
165
@twobugs pretty much the same ol' same ol'. I have a group of friends who play, so I keep up with it, but they haven't done much that was interesting since the challenge mode oryx raid last year.
 
@agent86 that's... that's three digits! and the sum of them is 12! and the sum of 1 and 2 is 3! @KevinvanderVelden confirmed.
 
@agent86 Yeah that was my impression. I guess they added that new Prison of Elders thing and a few new armor sets?
 
@badp it's a very important number. soon all will be revealed. promises were made, but they were made years ago and I don't know if they are still valid. I will have to invoke the Olde Magicks to find out.
 
12:25 PM
I cannot wait to find out about the magnitude of the colossal waste of time that this will turn out to be

@twobugs yeah, they upped the light cap, patched up prison of elders to make it more relevant, added chroma for armor, a new strike that is apparently underwhelming... stuff like that.
@badp oh, it's colossal on the highest order. about 4 years and 6 months worth of wasted time.
it's going to be so dumb. so very, very dumb.
 
@agent86 don't be mean to your pal now.
 
Ah, that's too bad. I was playing some Division but that game has a really bad community (like seemingly every game nowadays)
 
but it's one more mountain to climb. I've come this far, what's a tiny bit more?
@badp I'm being mean to me :)
 
12:28 PM
@agent86 IF YOU AREN'T YOUR OWN BEST PAL, WHO ELSE IS GONNA BE
 
@twobugs yeah, I had a code for the division, gave it to tiddy. he wanted to play it more than I did.
 
OH MY GOD "THE SHIP IS ON FIRE" IS STILL GOING
 
Black coffee still makes me grimace each sip
 
@badp not @Wipqozn, that's for darn sure
 
12:29 PM
@agent86 It's a fun game, I just hate trying to do anything in it
 
@ardaozkal so what's your takeaway?
 
@twobugs I want more splinter cell, thankyouverymuch.
 
Matchmaking is nice but not when everyone tries to be a rogue MLG pro and dies repeatedly
 
are you listening ubisoft? are you listening?!?
 
So you're saying you want more Farcry? Gotcha.
 
12:30 PM
@badp huh?
 
Yearly Far cry! No wait, MONTHLY Far Cry! All for you @agent86!
 
@twobugs nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I can only handle so much gratuitous nudity and misappropriated culture
 
@ardaozkal good news? bad news? terribad news? awfubysmal? disastrocalyptic?
 
Future headline: "Ubisoft employs the entire population of the world to make all of their series daily releases"
 
@badp between disastrocalyptic and good news.
disastrocalyptic = Erdogan will be more powerful
 
12:32 PM
@twobugs I will make the best far cries
 
good news: possibly less terrible PM
 
This is what it sounds like when @badp cries
RIP Prince :(
Uh, so apparently someone twitch streamed themselves physically beating their romantic partner
That's... wow
 
 
the farthest cry

Q: two attacks 6 stars?

jononzieOne person attacks two bases in a clan war, destroys them both 100% (3 stars X 2 =6 stars) he can only get 3 stars for the clan will the second base show his attack at 100% (3 stars) if so how do we know that it is still available to collect 3 stars for another member to attack and collect for th...

@PrivatePansy it is true, those abominations feed on hate, despair and styrofoam
 
@Sterno We were Ted Cruz all along
 
@Wipqozn you wooden listen
oh good now we're playing sonac fanfictions
 
I wonder if @agent86 is streaming that
 
12:44 PM
speaking of, @twobugs now owes the internet oracle a sonic dreams stream
a duty that may be gleefully delegated to @Wipqozn
 
What the heck is "Sonic Dreams"
I will stream Stardew today though
Ultimately I'm satisfied with my Surface Pro 4. It's quite a nice device, but I think the iPad pro might have been more what I needed for my current use case (although it's arguable I'm just not utilizing the Surface Pro 4)
Thank you for reading Two Bugs, One Review

Q: Coding plug-ins Bukkit vs Spigot

KaelinatorI'm thinking about trying to code a plugin, and I've never usedone Bukkit or Spigot before... Is therected a significant difference in coding for one vs the other? Like, is Bukkit easier to code for than Spigot? Vice versa? How different are the two? Does it really matter what I code on? I me...

 
@Lazers2.0 Not familiar enough with Minecraft and plugins, but doesn't this seem like a software rec question?
 
Reading last night's drama.
GOod times!
 
1:00 PM
OH right. I missed that drama while gaming
 
> Well, to be fair, you can like a band without knowing names of members, or knowing how they look. I like Taylor Swift for example, but have no clue what their leadsinger even looks like.
 
I'm not sure I get the joke there
 
Taylor Swift isn't a band name. THAT'S THE JOKE.jpg
 
Well yeah, but that's not really funny. It's like one of my quips

ReafexusIn the daily free "Common Relic Draw" there is a banner above that has 5-star equipment like the Masamune and Tiny Bee. Most of the other banners only advertise things you can get. I have been playing for a month or so and I have never gotten anything above 2 stars. I understand it is free so the...

Q: Minecraft pulse generator is permanently powered if i toggle too fast

playagainleifId like to know if there is a way to make it irrelevant how fast you toggle the switch. The result should allways be a single short impulse. default state toggled too fast It looks like the repeater is "locked" into a permanent signal by the other repeater. Is that true, can I change that in a...

 
@PrivatePansy This is not a letter-spacing issue, this is a kerning issue. It's all over the place
 
1:35 PM
With letter spacing disabled
Which is bad, but at least it's the font's problem, not the website
 
@PrivatePansy Yeah, the way your system/browser is rendering fonts is terrible
 
Their font stack is ridiculous
font-family: Helmet,Freesans,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
It's quite obvious that they only tested this with either Helvetica or Arial
 
@PrivatePansy You're a helmet
 
@fredley I think it's the font. I've never seen a website use Free Sans before
 
@PrivatePansy It doesn't seem to be sending either of those fonts over the wire
 
1:39 PM
No, which is the weirdest thing.
 
Yeah
I mean, who has helment?!
 
Someone just walked into my office with a black leather jacket and greased back hair
 
@twobugs I hope you sang You're the one that I want at them
 
1:40 PM
Which is not incorrect in principal - place less commonly found fonts first
 
@PrivatePansy I see
 
But on 'exotic' systems where you don't even expect Arial to be found just let it fall back to sans-serif
 
@PrivatePansy But imagine if you had helmet installed for some reason
 
@fredley Whaaaaaaaaaa
 
rekt
 
1:42 PM
@fredley This has to be some sort of mistake
There must be two Helmet fonts
I refuse to believe they would support this
 
@twobugs Obviously, but still
 
@twobugs Yeah. The blog post claims most Linux distros have it
 
I think @PrivatePansy's link explains it
But yeah, there are two helmets
 
(I don't, and Ubuntu is... pretty popular)
And back to the point, don't fuck around with letter-spacing unless you've tested with all of the fonts on the bloody stack

1:44 PM
letter-spacing is a horrible property to use anyway. It's like taking a hammer to all of the carefully crafted kerning a font has
 
Interesting, when I disable my helmet font, it rerenders the page without reloading it
How on earth does that work
 
Which OS?
 
@PrivatePansy Mac
Somewhere or other a syscall that says that font is no longer available is getting all the way into Chrome and forcing a rerender
Which is cool
 
@badp I've had this game for what seems like forever. some humble bundle leftover that I never quite got to. loaded it up, planned to nope right back out, but it's actually quite good and I'm enjoying it.
 
Well, it's obviously not Chrome drawing the pixels that make up the text
 
1:48 PM
@fredley This is the worst font ever
 
@PrivatePansy I guess, although assuming that the page was rendered onto some kind of canvas, it would need invalidating/redrawing for the effect to take place
 
@PrivatePansy I have no idea about that
FreeSans should be on most distros tho
 
Reenabling the font has the same effect, the page is redrawn
And it's a complete redraw - the page reflows with the new text
 
@PrivatePansy Actually I think Chrome uses Skia for text rendering on all OSes now
 
but will it draw fonts on OSX bold and chubby the way they like their fonts?
 
1:56 PM
@badp Real fonts have curves
 
There's too many blue people in this chat now
 
there is no 'i' in curves and no curves in 'i'
 
@badp Although that is largely an issue from before all macs were given retina screens
@twobugs Solution: install Porkchat
No more blue
 
@fredley Ugh orange
Also ugh diamonds
 
yessssssss orange
 
2:00 PM
basically, porkchat
you can also use that property to send a page to the SHADOW REALM
 
@badp filter enabled on the body will degrade performance horribly
 
@PrivatePansy it also doesn't really work since it doesn't seem to affect the entire page

Everyone should give Impact a try.
 
@StrixVaria my monitor really really really hated your color choices

2:06 PM
@fredley pls
 
STRIX READS CHAT IN IMPACT: DATA ACCEPTED
 
there seems to be some sort of progressive color adjusting thing going on somewhere for some reason
when I switch to it the colors slowly change
in ways that are hard to describe
 
> at this point we have no IT
Not the words you want to be reading from the office manager
 
the background goes lighter then darker? the bottom bar goes way brighter
 
@badp Are you on drugs?
 
2:07 PM
no
 
@badp Maybe that's the problem
 
i wanna try this
sounds fun
 
no
 
adaptive screen?
 
colours changing in ways that are hard to describe?
 
2:08 PM
no
no
no
no
 
magic?
 
no
 
I should set Porkchat so that it slowly migrates to a purple/pink colour scheme at a rate of one colour channel point per day.
Today's background-color:, #222222. Tomorrow #232222, etc.
 
@fredley Yes, do this.
 
Gradually, ponies.
 
2:11 PM
@fredley Twilight Sparkle?
 
Have a 0% lightness pony as the background.
 
@Ronan 1 time in 1000 replace your posted image with a pony
But make it not visible to you
 
@fredley That sounds tricky.

Hey, that means I can say things like "badp's armpits smell like old farts" and he won't suspect a thing!
 
@agent86 is @Wipqozn featured in every single cell
@PrivatePansy no it doesn't
 
@badp there's some kinda joke about posters and prisons in that...
 
@agent86 See @PrivatePansy??! YOU'RE DRIVING @AGENT86 AWAY
 
2:24 PM
wait
suddenly i feel like i'm not part of the club anymore :(
I mean, being a brit doesn't help
 
did your Rockstar sub expire
 
but i don't get the poking @agent86 stuff :(
Why won't people make jokes about me :(
 
@djsmiley2k There's a club?
 
@Wipqozn No I'm not. I'm not legally allowed to drive here
 
@djsmiley2k Because we like you
 
2:25 PM
Or where @agent86 lives for that matter
 
(see what I did there @agent86?)
 
And I don't think he would get in a car with me either
 
@Wipqozn spoken like a true tsundere
 
I HUNGER FOR JUSTICE (but actually food)
 
@badp IT STILL NEEDS TO BE SAID THOUGH

Q: What does the first number mean on a wand?

RikerWWhenever I get a wand and identify it, it says x:x. For example, the castle wand I got says 0:1. What is the meaning of the first number? (0 in the example) I know the second number is the number of charges left.

 
is that like a mod mimic
 
It's a mic you attach to a thing
 
@Lazers2.0 recharge count
 
2:43 PM
@Wipqozn Well it's a good thing there's plenty of justice to rain from above!
 
@Wipqozn it's probably still your fault
@djsmiley2k they're just excited to see me. like dogs when you come home after vacation, y'know?
@PrivatePansy perhaps you're an excellent driver. I don't know. how many wrecks have you been in?
 
@agent86 Yes
 
and were any of them t-wrecks?
 
or cats when they see their prey
 
@Fluttershy Yes
@SaintWacko Excellent
 
2:45 PM
@badp meeeeeeeow
 
@badp Yes
 
@agent86 No, and thankfully no. I'm actually a military driver
 
@Wipqozn I see. I see all too well. >:|
 
It's about as exciting as it sounds
 
@agent86 Yes
 
2:45 PM
@Wipqozn Yessssss
 
@PrivatePansy You drive the military? That's crazy!
 
4/10 ultimate musician impression
 
@PrivatePansy I feel like I knew this. can you get me a tank? like, just hypothetically. I don't have any rampages planned or anything.
 
@agent86 No, but I can get you a big ass-truck
 
I'm sure you'd rather give him a big truck-ass
 
2:47 PM
@PrivatePansy hmmmmm. hmmmmmmmmmmm... yeeeeesssss
 
@agent86 Yes
@badp Yes
 
It's a lot of fun whenever we have to change the tires when the tires weigh 50 kg and have to be carried by three people
 
excellent.
 
hey @agent86, long time no see
 
Now @agent86 needs to find someone who works in artillery and can get him a cannon.
 
2:52 PM
you saw him... yesterday?
 
Cannon + truck = tank!

Yes I was trying to make that joke but my wifi died
Presumably it's @badp's fault because he wanted to steal my superior joke
 
the quality of my jokes is universally recognized as superior
 
Yeah, in opposite land
OH BURNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
 
50kg tyre sounds better than my accidently bear hugging the 40kg bookcase from ikea that i moved a few weeks ago
 
yep, the whole universe is opposite land, that's precisely why I told you you had reached true pro much gamerhood
 
@badp with the long con burn.
cc @Wipqozn
 
2:59 PM
@agent86 irl
 
@badp So that's why everyone tells me I'm not a core pro gamer
 
@PrivatePansy pffft, where's his shotgun?
 
I already am core pro much true,
 
have you already forgotten? he's texan
@twobugs that's just a double take
