12:00 AM
Oh, I didn't see that it was a link for some reason.
 
@Chippies yeah i figured something like this would happen, itunes has enough subtle screwups that i would never trust them with my music library
 
@GodEmperorDune This is why I just laugh when a friend of mine keeps trying to talk me into switching to an iPhone.
 
@Fluttershy i use an iphone without any of these issues
because i disabled all that junk from the beginning
 
@GodEmperorDune When I was using iStuff, iTunes would like, once a year, just clip the ends off of random songs
like a minute or two off the end
and overwrite the file
 
yea, the iphone itself is fine. its just the cloud stuff you dont want to touch
 
12:04 AM
@GodEmperorDune Yeah, but you have to be technically savvy enough to do that.
 
I just really don't like Apple as a business
 
@ChromeSlice i've had it screw up where songs start and end, but it never overwrote the file
@Frank fair point
 
@GodEmperorDune I had to rip a bunch of stuff over again
 
I don't really like Apple but I also don't like Samsung
 
@ChromeSlice thats a huge pain in the ass
 
12:05 AM
There go the #1 and #2 device makers
 
@twobugs If Android is your thing, you can get the Nexus.
That's what I have.
 
I may, next upgrade cycle
 
Love my ASUS Zenfone 2
 
i mean i trust google more than apple but i am too hooked into some of the more advanced itunes stuff to switch
 
Except it's like the hardest phone I've ever had to type on
 
12:06 AM
The hardware Samsung puts out is great. The software is stupid garbage
 
although that's probably mostly because of the case I have on it
 
i have workflows around the weirdness
 
@GodEmperorDune Do it before it's too late
 
unfortunately the biggest thing is a 1->5 rating scale which apple apparently patented on songs
 
Uh?
 
12:07 AM
or some crap like that, because google only does thumbs up or thumbs down
 
My music player has stars
1/5
Poweramp
Can they even do that
 
@ChromeSlice i'll look into it
 
@GodEmperorDune powerampapp.com
 
Google probably decided that people overwhelmingly do just min or max rating
So they focused on just good/bad
 
@twobugs yeah i'm an edge case user
 
12:08 AM
But I think 5 is a pretty reasonable scale, especially for music
 
It's kind of pointless for me because most of the stuff on my phone is either 4 or 5 stars
I have a few threes and like... 2 with only 2
nothing less
 
@ChromeSlice my music library is huge, so a precise rating scale is necessary
 
@GodEmperorDune Mine is too
 
i also do a lot with apple's smart playlists (basically the equivalent of a DB view)
 
I mostly just beat that by only putting stuff I like on it
And I filter by genre a lot
 
12:09 AM
@ChromeSlice yeah i forgot who i was talking to, lol
 
And have a few playlists for things like working out
@GodEmperorDune My phone has something like 10,590 songs on it atm
Still got about 4GB left on my sd card
Bet your iphone doesn't have 196 GB storage lol
 
I don't really listen to much stuff so I'm fine with just simple players like Amazon Music
 
@ChromeSlice nah of course not
 
iphones are like consoles
 
Which unfortunately doesn't have a great free selection
 
12:10 AM
Everything is really optimized and the hardware is always the same
 
why would i need 196 GB of space?
 
so everything runs really well
@Dragonrage Music
 
@Dragonrage i would like that on a phone
 
i have a lot of songs, but it only takes like 10 GB
most of the time i just play music off my pc or my radio
 
I just stream music so whatever. It's a problem sometimes in areas that have awful wifi/coverage (like my gym)
 
12:12 AM
@Dragonrage my full library is 60 GB or so, somehting like that
@twobugs yeah thats why i don't trust the cloud
 
Full library is much larger
plus all the shit sitting in my downloads folder that isn't tagged yet or moved to my EHD
which is probably like another 100 gb
I might just delete it all and start over
 
@GodEmperorDune Thankfully Amazon Music makes it really easy to just download anything to your device
 
I download from bandcamp, move to EHD, unzip, rename folder with (year) albumtitle, open all tracks in mp3tag, listen to snips of each and genre tag them appropriately, and then copy to phone
also making sure all tags are correct
that's... probably why I hve a bunch of shit sitting in downloads
jesus christ I just rebuilt my pc a couple weeks ago and I have 11 gb sitting there already
UGH
Wait, 9.05
 
@ChromeSlice see itunes screws things up but it makes it much easier to do something like that
 
That's because itunes usually tags things better
Stuff from bandcamp never comes with genre tags
I guess it's just removed by their thing or whatever
 
12:17 AM
@ChromeSlice i mean just renaming the folders and copying to phone
 
You can't copy stuff to an iphone
Also, for desktop music player I use vinylsoft.com
Not quite sure why, it's really simple
but I love it
 
you can if its in ur itunes and ur phone is connected
 
@ChromeSlice sync rather than copy, w/e
 
Is what most of the other mods on r/listentothis use
winyl has some dope ass community made skins
I use that one
 
12:32 AM
Ugh, overwatch needs all this blizzard stuff
Eh, I think I'll check the beta out on PS4

why

Q: Silverfish stone/egg placement

EWCJust out of curiosity, how are silverfish monster eggs generated? All I know is that they are found in strongholds and igloos, but what determines which part they spawn in? (As in, is it totally random, or does it look for a certain structure/pattern etc...)

 
I wish I was playing Overwatch right now

GeForce GTX 1080: Pascal GP104, 2560 CUDA cores (40 of 40 SMs in 4 GPCs) @ 1607-1733 MHz, 8 GB GDDR5X @ 10 GHz effective. http://www.geforce.com/hardware/10series/geforce-gtx-1080
 
Only $600!
 
Cool! I was waiting for this for my next build
Hopefully benchmarks are impressive
 
@twobugs Anywhere from 50% to 200% more performance than GTX 980. VR workloads see the most benefit.
 
Oh, confused me for a but there... was wondering why a new video card would be Pascal based...
 
Yeah, "pascal" was just the code name
@bwDraco Well, I'll wait for independent benchmarks. I don't entirely trust NVidia's marketing ones to be indicative of regular use performance

Jim JonesI've just updated to Microsoft on my computer, so Xbox Live gives me an update because of this. However, something different happens.

So while CoD is going futuristic, Battlefield is going back in time.
 
Battlefield 1 actually sounds really cool
Game designed from the ground up around melee
With tons of melee options
Great aesthetic, too
 
Shame about the name, though.

@Lazers2.0 updated to Microsoft?
 
@Fluttershy I imagine it's supposed to map to WWI.

Q: What is the "malevolent force" that left my armor?

RikerWI was cruising along (read: waiting as I regained health) and it suddenly said A malevolent force leaves your plate armor. What does this mean? Maybe it auto-uncursed? The plate armor was strength 19, and I enchanted it once (now 18).

A: What is the "malevolent force" that left my armor?

bwDracoThe armor was cursed. Enchanting cursed armor or weapons will remove any curse on it. For more information, see the Brogue Wiki.

omg that was NOT a fun night
waking up every 10-15min
so thirsty, but drinking anymore than a little sip would equal explosive throwing up
 
Yikes
 
now waiting to see if this mouthful of water has any negative affects :/
@ChromeSlice i know you don't drink, but i actually feel hungover
i'm so dehydrated and aching
 
@djsmiley2k I do on occasion
 
ah ok
 
5:10 AM
I've been hungover before
 
ever gone overboard?
yeahm, that's me right now
 
Although it also involved some hard drugs so it may not have been the exact experience
 
cept i didn't get the fun bit :~(
i'm just hoping it's over now
i want some lucozade lol
 
user15026
@djsmiley2k that doesn't sound fun at all :(
 
it's weird
my way of being ill seems to be highly accelerated
so i don't get something long and slow, but incredibly fast and hard hitting then, it's gone
I feel ok now even tho only 3 hours sleep etc.

Q: What elements of Renowned Explorers: International Society persist through multiple playthroughs?

Nate KerkhofsI recently finished my first playthrough of Renowned Explorers: International Society, and since it appears to be a game that should be played multiple times and has increasingly more challenging expeditions, I have a feeling that it incorporates persistent bonuses that you get in one playthrough...

Q: How can we defeat a team of 6 tracers?

ardaozkalThe enemy decided to go full tracer, and now they are taking the lead. What heroes can we use to defeat them?

 
1:25 PM
@Lazers2.0 I'm pretty sure like 1-2 Winstons would just eat a team of 6 Tracers alive.
 
@StrixVaria or if on defense, 6 bastions. Or even soldiers
problem is half their team is probably still sniper
this makes me want to do some all-1-character teams
6 reinhardts

Honestly, if I had anyone who I could reliably play co-op and party games with without them becoming a huge ass about suboptimal play, I would probably enjoy that genre far more

Q: Ratchet and clank missing bolts mystery

ChristySo my game is showing I've collected all the bolts on each planet, but I've only got 26...what am I missing? When I get in my ship to travel each place shows 2/2 or 3/3 for example,none missing,but obviously I am missing 2 somewhere. What say the experts? Thanks!

 
Like, it's a game, what difference does it make that I pick a talent that gives 11.5% extra DPS instead of one that does 12% extra DPS?
And that 12% talent might actually be 10% because I can't play it as well as the 11.5% talent
 
2:03 PM
@StrixVaria Depends on how good the Tracers are, but yeah.
 
but NIYUUH, if you don't use the talent that's theoretically a .5% DPS increase over the rest with perfect play if the boss allows that, you're a scrub and apparently deserve a kick
 
wait did I say coop
 
@NateKerkhofs This is why I avoid DOTA/LOL
 
it's Pv(P+E)
 
like, it's fucking normal Skyreach, who the fuck gives a shit about that .5 % DPS if you lose 10% because you need to move for the fire
 
2:04 PM
huh oh. Doom 2016 reviews are not going to be out until AFTER the game releases
 
@badp Planning on a preorder based on reviews?
 
I wasn't going to preorder anyway
but you shouldn't
 
@FaceSavouringDeliciousFood-Pig Eh, people don't give a s--- about runes and most masteries anymore. At least not until you get up to the really high ranks.
 
and if you have, refund
there's not even a preorder discount
 
Item builds are a little different, but as long as you don't build like a complete idiot (spell damage items on a physical damage character), I haven't seen anyone give people grief about their item builds.
 
2:07 PM
@Yuuki Hmm, is that in dota? I just remember my bad experiences everytime I tried LOL
 
@FaceSavouringDeliciousFood-Pig That's actually League.
 
@Yuuki you just haven't played at a high enough competitive level
 
> until you get up to the really high ranks
 
or maybe at a not low enough level
 
@Yuuki Interesting, I'll have to think about this
 
2:09 PM
Believe me, there are tons of people that complain about other players their builds
 
Hell, in the really high ranks, they don't even give a f--k about item builds in NA because the whole region is a bunch of trolls and streamers at that level.
And they care more about entertainment than gameplay.
 
At the very low ranks, people complain just as much about builds as at higher ranks
 
@NateKerkhofs You're probably playing a lot of blind pick then. Seems like most of the jerks congregate in that game mode. Though, I haven't played that in a year or two so it might be different now.

If i ever want to play LoL or DoTA, it's for fun, and the current playerbase does not suppor tthat
 
@NateKerkhofs Then I don't see how you're so sure about this issue.
 
@NateKerkhofs My cousin who I don't see regularly is the only reason I started
 
Anecdotally speaking, I have not encountered flamers at nearly the same rate that I used to a few years back.
(i.e. I haven't seen one in the past several months)
 
to be fair the mental picture I get when you're saying "I'm playing just for fun" is the heavy in TF2 that is sitting in the corner of spawn doing absolutely nothing while the rest of the team is getting slaughtered by a team that is playing well
 
@badp That's what idle servers are for
 
2:13 PM
and then a bunch of people join him and start making taunts to each other
 
and my blood pressure goes to infinity
 
"You're such a tryhard. Unlike you, I go outside and I play games for fun."
 
Then Riot has been been making a lot of headway in that
I want to play to enjoy the gameplay, and above all without other people throwing insults at me
 
@badp I do this, but only on idle/trade servers, seriously! If you're going to be on a server where people want to play, don't do that crap.
 
2:16 PM
I don't care about winning or losing, I just care about having a good time

although I can get quite frustrated if we're losing because others are crap
