12:00 AM
@Fluttershy from the reviews it seems pretty bad thoguh
 
@arda You must be reading different reviews. Because the reviews I've read say it's pretty great.
 
How to piss the hell out of the TSA: Pelican Case.
They're really expensive, but they'll last you a lifetime and a half.
 
Why doesn't TSA like them?
 
@SaintWacko Hard case without a zipper, so they can't open them. If you put a real lock on them as well, it's impossible to get in
 
@KazWolfe Ah. I thought you weren't allowed to do that
 
12:05 AM
@Fluttershy the reviews I saw say that CGI, action scenes and general humor level is bad
 
exactly why it annoys them
it's a bad they can't get in to
 
I'm glad the new Ghostbusters movie isn't the trainwreck the marketing stuff made it look like
 
@KazWolfe I'm pretty sure they can just say "Well, this case doesn't get to go on a plane."
 
@SaintWacko you are allowed if you carry firearms and state that, but you have to allow them to check what is inside, but unlike regular TSA checks, they'll do it in front of you. I like browsing random stuff on reddit.
 
> Ghostbusters is a lively, hilarious crowd-pleaser, which is all that's really required of a big summer action comedy.
 
12:06 AM
@arda Oh, that makes sense
How are things going there, by the way?
 
I mean it sounds like it's not Ghostbusters 1 level but let's be honest
Ghostbusters 2 isn't either

Q: Nearby indicator not working

AlokSometimes when playing, the 'Nearby' indicator seems to malfunction or stop updating: All of the Pokemon shown are always 3 steps away, none with 1 or 2 step distance Walking around doesn't reduce the steps either Even when a Pokemon shows up nearby and can even be clicked on to capture it, tha...

Q: What happens if you reload and go back after seeing Asriel? (Undertale)

CuriousityI went back to see Asriel after I finished the True Pacifist run, and he talked to me. He told me not to trust Flowey if I ever see him again, and it left me wondering. Do you see Flowey again if you backtrack once more to the beginning room of the game? Or is it just the golden Flowers?

 
I saw the new Ghostbusters. It was fine. Not great, not awful (for that genre)
i do not regret seeing it
 
@twobugs I enjoyed Ghostbusters 2 well enough, but I don't know that anything could ever top the first one.
 
@Sterno Reviews by people who didn't hate on it before even seeing it have tended to go this way.
 
12:08 AM
I like 2, but it's just lacking the same spark of the first one
Honestly a modern reboot that isn't complete garbage is fine with me
(Note: I am not a person who watches movies with any frequency)
But any movie that makes a lot of silly people upset gets a big bonus in my book
 
@SaintWacko good-ish. While coup is defeated, there are hundreds of dead people and thousands are harmed. 10k+ people are under arrest. People are outside, celebrating it pretty insanely (hard to sleep). Also, they are making obtaining a gun easier. Unfortunately it seems that they are trying to cause a civil war, I hope that I'm misinterpreting it, however I'm applying for a passport as soon as I arrive to Ankara.
 
Oh hey, @StrixVaria, do you own Ori and the Blind Forest? I know you mentioned it a while back, and wanted to ask.
 
@Fluttershy Nope.

Q: Glitches on weights?

EvieloverI've had my pidgy and evolved it twice to pidgeot and as a pidgeotto it's weight was 26kg and now it's 0.16kg as a pidgeot. It's lighter than my catapie! Has anything like this happened to anyone else?

Q: Where is the first marble skin in Super Blocky Ball's lobby?

WolfThe other four heads are relatively easy to find (atop the castle crenelations) but where is the first of the five skins in the lobby? I have a sinking feeling that it's in some impossible location like atop the loop-the-loop...

Q: Why can Normal types still damage Haunter?

Joeytje50In the Pokémon effectiveness chart, it says normal types have no effectiveness against ghost types. Since Haunter is a primarily Ghost type (aside from being Poison type), it should receive no damage from Normal types right? I'm asking this because I thought I was sneaky with my 450 CP Haunter b...

 
12:20 AM
ooo Nimbatus has a demo now
 
@SaintWacko bolt cutters, basically
If you have a non tsa lock and or refuse to unlock it
 
which is illegal if they don't ask you
but since when did the US government care about their actions being legal?
 
All bags are subject to search
 
That doesn't mean they can destroy my property. If I say no, I can't take the bag. Easy as that.
 
I believe there's a degree of implied consent
Esp for checked bags
But probably for carry on as well
 
12:23 AM
also holy mother of god. Philips HUE is expensive af
 
They can, will, and do, open checked bags
Not all the time, but sometimes
 
Alright, Bridge. Conundrum time.
 
oh?
 
So I'm pretty sure trying to refuse to allow your carry on to be searched upon request would be way more complicated than "you can't take it"
 
Best Buy is currently offering: 1) A 32" LG LED Smart TV with the purchase and activation of an LG G5. Or 2) A $100 Best Buy gift card with the purchase and activation of a Samsung Galaxy S7. I don't know which one to get.
 
12:26 AM
Do you need a TV?
Second, how important is modding and doing fun/weird stuff to you?
 
@KazWolfe My current TV is 40", and is roughly 8 years old. It also puts off heat like a furnace. So a new TV is potentially a motivator.
 
I'm not a fan of the Galaxy devices
 
@KazWolfe Modding is not important to me at all.
 
The Samsung looks and feels nicer, but the LG is more open and workable.
 
But I mean my phone is as close as you can get to stock Android as you can get without being a Nexus
 
12:28 AM
Plus the LG doesn't come with that crapware TouchWiz

Q: Is there a level map in Transistor?

pootzkoIs there a level map (maybe something like what existed in Bastion) in Transistor? Sometimes paths fork a bit and everything looks pretty similar so it's a bit hard to track where I went through and where I did not..

 
Whereas the galaxy devices are as far as you can get without being an iPhone
 
yep. My god the Samsung os SUCKS.
 
Hmm...
 
TV and better os? Go the LG
 
12:30 AM
Unfamiliar with the g5 though so Idk
 
I was also tempted to say screw the Best Buy deals and just go with an HTC 10, because I've really enjoyed my HTC One M7.
 
Better build quality on the phone? S7.
The Nexus 6 is an amazing phone.
I should have gotten it instead of the iPhone, but meh.
 
I'd love to get a Nexus 6/6P... But my carrier doesn't sell the phone. :\
 
You can get it unlocked and just pop in a SIM
 
Nobody's carrier does afaik
 
12:33 AM
The 6P is no more expensive than the entry G5, and it's very decent to say the least
 
@StrixVaria We should play Paragon again.
I just played it for a few hours
 
user15026
@Unionhawk I got mine through my carrier but, well, Canada
 
@Ash hmm
 
Decisions are hard.
I may go by Best Buy and discuss with them. I have until Sunday to decide.
 
I should actually go to Verizon and be like "hi I'm not getting a phone from you guys, how to activate"
 
12:40 AM
@Unionhawk "Buy a phone from us, and then have us install the SIM card"
 
rip money
 
@GnomeSlice Your mom's gonna be so mad at you. :o
 
yep
I'm a grown man I can waste all my money on music if I want
 
user15026
The perks of being a grownup!

Q: Changing my account on minecraft

Lumios I already asked this question on g+, but nobody answered it, so it may look a stupid question, but I moved my minecraft account and I ask if by changing the name of my old files, will it makes my stuff from my old account. (my items, my pets etc.) be moved into my new account? I just don't wa...

 
user15026
12:46 AM
That's like I realized my whale tattoo is gonna be like 300 bucks. I have no regrets. It's going to be amazing.
 
No regerts!
 
MUST. RESIST. MEMEING.
 
Sorry. That just reminded me of that tattoo, since you were talking about tattoos and saying "no regrets." :P
But I hope your tattoo is awesome!
 
YOU CAN NEVER STOP MEMEING
MEME IS LOVE. MEME IS LIFE.
 
@KazWolfe MEMES ARE LIFE
@Fluttershy NO RUGRATS
 
user15026
12:49 AM
@Fluttershy hahaha no worries. It's the same guy who did my bumblebee which I love so it will be good
 
i need a macro board just for memes
for all da memes
get one of these and bind meme macros to all of them
 
user15026
No one needs that much memes
 
@KazWolfe there is a chat plugin for chrome that stores things for easy copy pasta
among other things
 
on that note, why is Razer the only company that makes those good gamepads?
these things
 
that looks extremely ugly and uncomfortable
@Ash cool
 
12:56 AM
they're actually not that bad
i have a cheap one that's amazing for quick macros
 
user15026
@arda I always think that when I see them too
 
that bird (?) looks horribly depressed
 
@KazWolfe because it is doom. if you were doom, would you be depressed? no one would want you to come
 
it also looks really fluffy
Where the hell are all these "Pokemon was hacked" reports coming from?
 
gg script kiddies. saying "we hacked it" when servers overload.
poodle corp is a nonthreat. I'ev had them threaten to take down my system.
my response: "lolk go ahead"
they tried brute-forcing SSH, and that was basically it. xD
 
@KazWolfe ughhh I hte those kind of guys
claiming that my system is vulnerable but able to do nothing when I tell them to hack away
 
i almost responded "That was it? My god you're idiots" when they failed
 
> your ports are open, close them
> how do you expect me to host servers? hack my server if it is really vulnerable
 
poodle did something like "give us $5000 or we take you down"
 
1:19 AM
few hours later: no attempt at logs, no files touched
@KazWolfe yeah I get those a lot
 
i did get DDoS'd a bit, but I pay for good protection so no legit loss
 
I blame digitalocean on this though. My domains are behind cloudflare
 
This one's pretty hard to beat.
 
i-it's not like you can hack my servers or anything, b-b-baka!
 
for some reason that fail2ban thing doesn't work too
 
1:22 AM
@arda Have you given it log access?
 
...shit
 
@Fluttershy yea, that one is pretty good too
 
really?
you gotta enable the listeners
 
user15026
Part of me wants to walk to the park because there are a lot of pokestops and lures and part of me is just too tired after all the walking I already did today
 
@Ash Yep, that was definitely me the first few days :P
 
1:34 AM
@KazWolfe ok apparently everything was working except I uncommented a wrong line in config
should work now :)
 
user15026
@twobugs I average about 5km walking a day normally, I doubled that today
 
@Ash the hype dies down quick, so I'd recommend enjoying it as much as you can until that :)
 
Fun fact: To get to L40 in PoGo takes 20M EXP. Assuming no bonuses, hatches, or anything, you'd need to catch all 151 and 98188 non-unique Pokemon
 
user15026
@arda good to know. Although I just like going to the park anyway :p
 
@Ash That's really good! That's about how many steps I get in
I think the key to enjoying PoGo long term is to just not care too much
 
user15026
1:36 AM
@twobugs I try to do my best to keep active.
 
The game is in a really silly state right now if you're trying to min max or whatever
But the fantasy of just being a real life Pokemon trainer is great
 
Assuming you get to max level using only Pidgeys with NO EGGS and NO BONUSES or anything, you'll need to catch almost 200k Pidgey
 
That's completely reasonable and not ridiculous at all
(Granted there's no apparent reason to go beyond 30 right now)

Q: Cave spider trap issues

Locustslayer228I have a cave spider spawner and it works great other than the area where I hit them. I've tried several designs but they can still hit me. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Q: Why wont Pokemon Go let me sign into another google account

VentureHawkeyeI just recently got a new phone and wanted to sign into my Pokemon Go account from my old phone with my Google account, but all it does when I press sign up with google is makes me a new account. Help?

 
user15026
I just like collecting stuff, I don't really care about the rest tbh
 
1:38 AM
@Ash That's absolutely the best mindset to have here
 
Just getting the Pokedex completed catching nothing else will get you to L14
@twobugs Until 5% or so of players hit 40
 
Why 5%? What I've read says levels beyond 30 don't impact wild pokemon CP
 
user15026
@twobugs I'm just like oooh Pokemon, which is really how I play the actual games. That reminds me, I was gonna look for my copy of x/y.
 
And the CP cap levels off pretty quickly
 
They impact training Pokemon
 
user15026
1:39 AM
But I have no idea where it is in my house
 
A L40 capped Charizard will be a lot more powerful than an L30 capped
 
I should play more ORAS but I have about a million unplayed mobile games
@KazWolfe You have to consider the marginal benefit of making it to 40
 
Eggs won't gain power past 20, encounters won't gain power past 30
 
A lot of people are going to give up way before that
 
@twobugs Actually I have that stat!
 
1:40 AM
cc @KazWolfe it works! I used to get ~50 failed attempts / min, this is what happened in 10 mins
 
@twobugs A L40 pokemon will be about 1.08x as powerful as a L30 pokemon
 
That's really not that much given the ridiculous degree of effort to reach 40
And the state the game is in currently for battling
 
user15026
@twobugs I am bad at sticking to one thing. I tend to play a lot of things at once.
 
Here's my mobile backlog: MHG, Persona Q, EOU1/2, Senran Kagura Estival/2, Fire Emblem, Trails, numerous Vita games I can't even remember
But, you know, I just keep buying games :(
 
@arda Turn on key-based login, and change away from port 22
What are you running that is so interesting to crack, anyways?
 
1:45 AM
@KazWolfe I already do, I will
 
Do you have password login on anywhere? If so, turn it off right this second.
And disable root login as it's just a bad idea.
 
@KazWolfe nothing interesting, 5-6 websites, all behind cloudflare. This server can't even handle mariadb
@KazWolfe no
 
so what's with the intrusion attempts? o.O
 
Oops, my handheld backlog left out Hyrule Warriors!
 
I run a few prod servers that are important and do things and they don't get near close to that.
 
1:47 AM
hyrule warriors and new pokemons are the only reason I might buy 3ds
 
Why not other games? The 3ds has an extremely good and varied lineup
 
@KazWolfe I might do that, but am scared of forgetting to do something, resulting in me being locked out
 
@arda Just add your user account to sudoers, and you'll be good
 
@twobugs oh and mario. I don't know any other games on 3ds
except zelda. I don't like zelda (sorry @uni)
 
@arda If you want I can take you to a private chatroom and knock you out and steal your valuables guide you through setting all that up
what strikethrough doesn't work here
 
1:49 AM
I don't think you'd like Hyrule Warriors as much if you don't like Zelda :P
 
\-- stuff \---
@twobugs I like killing and destroying stuff, not that much story
 
user15026
@twobugs this is me too
 
user15026
@arda then you might actually really like HW
 
HW I would say has two main draws
1) It's a really good Dynasty Warriors game
2) It's got a lot of great Zelda stuff
 
I watched it on zeldathon 2016 and liked it.
 
1:51 AM
That's... not a game I think would work well on agdq. Interesting
 
user15026
I like it when i am grumpy and just want to hit things for stress relief
 
@twobugs zeldathon my bad
 
I just don't know if I see the appeal in speedrunning a Warriors game
 
tbh I really like handheld consoles
 
It seems... weird
 
user15026
1:53 AM
@twobugs Zeldathon isn't speed runs (he corrected the statement)
 
Ah, I'm not as familiar with Zeldathons
 
user15026
@arda my 3ds gets so much use. I love it. That and phone games.
 
@Ash yeah, great for stress relief
 
I really like handhelds, I just haven't been playing them as much recently for some reason
 
user15026
@twobugs it's basically full runs of Zelda stuff, with commentary and silliness and awesome
 
1:53 AM
I honestly really love the Vita, and that bombed :(
 
user15026
I have a psp but I never really got into any of the games
 
I hope Sony doesn't pull out of handhelds because I think they had two great ones (UMDs aside)
 
@Ash I don't really like many phone games, most on android seems tap games (and well) and most games eat up my battery, but I like the games on 3ds.
On school time, I'm out of home for around 12 hours, and a handheld console wouldn't be bad because charging my phone at school and having to get permission for it is getting boring.
 
user15026
@arda yeah a 3ds would be good for that
 
I can give you some 3ds recommendations to check out. What kind of games do you like?
 
1:57 AM
I never really found any 3ds games that would keep me interested in it
there were a few that I enjoyed, but that's it
but I had the same issue with WiiU, so it's probably my own fault :P
 
It's absolutely your own fault and I will kick you in the knee
Although I guess Kirby doesn't have knees
Well played
 
Crisis averted by not having knees
 
Speaking of Kirby, the new one is on my "to-buy" list (along with Link Between Worlds)
 
I bought the rainbow one, it was super boring
 
@twobugs don't give me recommendations. I just checked the price, $500 here, noped out.
 
1:59 AM
traded it in for store credit
 
The rainbow one on Wii U was such a huge letdown
10/10 music but everything else was a boring retread of Canvas Curse (which owned)
 
@twobugs it was semi-fun with 2 players, but it was the first game ever where being the first player was more boring than being the 2nd
I should change my avatar sometime, just so people can hate me
cc: @Wipqozn
 
I checked worldwide prices. Seems around $100-150 :(
 
user15026
@twobugs do it, it is so so so so so good
 
Dammit, why does MHG have so many quests
I'm still on 2* and doing quests just spawns MORE QUESTS
I HAVE TO DO ALL THE QUESTS BEFORE I ADVANCE TO 3*
 
user15026
2:05 AM
Quests forever
 
I'm a hunter. You know, the people who kill dangerous gigantic murderous monsters.
What am I doing right now? Well, I'm catching sushi for a village chief.
 
user15026
Seems like a waste of your talent ;)
 
Only when this last DAMN FISH DOESN'T WANT TO SHOW UP
One thing that I really like about recent Monster Hunter games is you get to have these little cat npc buddies ('palicoes', you see) and I get to customize them
Right now I have 4 - 2 for the cats I had growing up, and 2 for the cats I have now :)
 
is robotnik in here?
 
@KazWolfe why
 
2:19 AM
Paging Doctor @Robotnik
 
and cc @Robotnik
@twobugs TOO FAST
 
I want to nitpick him about a flag
marked comment as obsolete (not the only obsolete comment i might add), and that was the only one removed
 
SUSHI HAS BEEN DELIVERED
 
@twobugs I do not have it.
 
To the village chief, you goof!
 
2:21 AM
I still do not have it.
 
user15026
@KazWolfe when you flag a comment we can delete from the flag screen so chances are it was the only one deleted because it was the only one flagged and thus the only one that was seen from the flag screen
 
user15026
If it needs more, either custom flag and explain or obsolete flag the others
 
okay, i can't see the flag screen so i didn't know that ^^
actually, question about that. If SE is about community moderation, why can't the community see comment flags and whatnot?
 
user15026
Because they don't handle them
 
user15026
You only see what you can interact with. Flags are for mods so we are the only ones that see them
 
user15026
2:23 AM
Because they're exceptions to what community as a whole can moderate
 
user15026
So if it is something you/the community can cleanup or deal with, it shouldn't be getting flags
 
so what about NotAnAnswer flags?
 
user15026
What about them?
 
They're passed to the community, no?
 
@Ash not really
 
2:25 AM
also, does PoGo have a canonical Google Account question/answer?
 
some flags I think are moved to queues, at least NAA is as @KazWolfe said
 
close flags too
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but even if a flag is moved to a queue it does other stuff under the hood
 
user15026
@arda yeah I was just about to mention, some stuff pops things in queues but the flags themselves still show up as a mod thing, it just also pops it in the queue
 
yeah
 
user15026
2:26 AM
@KazWolfe vtc is different than a flag
 
@Ash flag to close isn't though
 
user15026
@twobugs nope that's right
 
user15026
@KazWolfe oh you mean if you don't have vtc rep
 
user15026
Question goes to queue, flag itself goes to mod flag queue
 
@Ash yeah that is an exception I think
 
2:27 AM
but really. go we have a canonical PoGo close for Google Account crap?
 
user15026
Flags still always only go to mods, they just also sometimes trigger other actions
 
user15026
Like how a certain number of spam flags nukes a thing, but the flag still goes to mods until that threshold is reached
 
user15026
@arda nope, the flag still goes to mods, the question just also gets popped into the queue. If it gets handled in the queue, great, otherwise there is still a mod flag to handle it
 
ah
 
user15026
Because then it doesn't run into a case where there isn't people looking at queues and then it wouldn't ever get handled
 
2:30 AM
1. become mod
2. stalk flag queue
3. ???
4. profit
 
being a mod is pretty much loving the community and trying to help it improve.
your profit is the community love getting better and surviving (much) longer
 
user15026
@KazWolfe there's not often much in the queue honestly anymore
 
user15026
With the new mods we hammer stuff super fast
 
so what do you guys do all day?
 
user15026
@arda pretty much if you don't love it you won't survive modding because it's incredibly thankless and stuff. But we do it because we wanna make stuff good and run smoothly
 
2:33 AM
@Ash In which case.... Thanks for keeping Arqade awesome! ^^
 
user15026
@KazWolfe it's not a job, we basically just hammer what pops as it pops. It's like... Whackamole
 
@Ash thanks for being such a great mod
same goes to: @Wipqozn @Robotnik @badp
also @fredley @StrixVaria @LessPop_MoreFizz
I'm forgetting someone
 
user15026
Aww, thanks @arda
 
just flag a post and the entire network will see the mod thanks!
 
user15026
@arda Raven is the one you are missing
 
2:34 AM
and every 10k user will want your blood.
 
Ah, @ravendreamer, he isn't much active though :(
 
user15026
@KazWolfe not the entire network, no
 
@Ash Any 10k+ and mods will see a chat flag.
if I remember right

Q: Why do I have so much Machop candy?

zbaxSo I finally caught my first Machop today... I opened up my Pokemon, tapped on Machop, and the first thing I notice is that I have 21 Machop candies. How is this possible? He is the only Machop I've ever caught. What other way(s) could I have gotten all of this candy? Pokestops? Battles?

Q: How do you gain coins in Pokemon go

Sparks11I just got the game and I was wondering how you could gain the coins you need to buy poke balls etc?

 
user15026
If it is chat, then just 10ks and mods but even then those get handled super fast so chances are not many actually will
 
user15026
2:35 AM
@KazWolfe I know how it works :)
 
@Ash so do i :P
Yeah, I kinda want more chat flags. they can be kinda fun to deal with
 
I just reached 9k in total, 1k until I see those too.
 
yeah it's across the entire network
so i should be somewhere at 15?
let's check
blah
 
I think that I'm at 8990 or smth
IDK, I'm getting so much rep ltely
the pokemon go hype is crazy
blah
 
user15026
@KazWolfe no. Do not want.
 
user15026
2:39 AM
Drama isn't fun.
 
user15026
@arda I am still amazed by it
 
well, i find it fun to just come in and bark at everyone but meh.
@arda yay rep powerboosting
I think in two weeks I got 4x the rep I did in a couple years
 
user15026
@KazWolfe don't do that, that never helps. Flooding a room with people and coming down like a ton of bricks never makes a situation better
 
actually, now that you say that, that used to happen all the time
a flag was thrown and 12-13 10ks would come running
 
user15026
Which likely just ignites situations with everyone being like omg drama and trying to outdo each other with yelling at people
 
2:43 AM
pokeman
you know these are older people.

Q: Best way to utilize cake

BatophobiaI've gotten a few different types of cake, and after hitting level 4, I've discovered that they can level up a card. However, the only unused card I had was green and the game forced me to use 2 pink cake on it. Thing is, I also had 2 blue cake and a green one. So, what's the best way to level...

 
@Lazers2.0 This is a good question title
 
Overheard last night at a large gathering for a pokestop lure: "Mom! Pidgey evolves into Pidgeotto, not Pidgeot! Jeez!" Nearly every single adult there starts cracking up, knowing we were around that kid's age when all these pokemon first came out.
