Distracted driving
 
@Unionhawk you wouldn't survive that no matter how concentrated you are.
 
They crashed because of the guy in front of them who was Hitler
 
you are driving in what, 60km/h, someone drives to right in front of you and brakes. You probably wouldn't see that guy brake in time to safely brake.

Q: Is Pokemon Go Online?

Vinicius MeselPokemon Go is a very recent game and it is passing through some instability moments everyday. Do anyone know how to see if Pokemon Go Servers are online?

Q: How do I learn higher level versions of hunter arts?

two bugsEach weapon has several hunter arts. I know from progressing through the offline quests that you unlock new ones via the main game, but how do you unlock higher level versions of the same art?

Q: How long is the delay to update distance walked?

DasBeastoI have noticed many times that I will be on a walk or run with Pokemon Go open to try to hatch some eggs and the distance won't seem to update immediately. I'll be at say 2.5km on an egg, run half a mile, and then check it and it will still say 2.5km, then I walk for a minute or so and check and ...

 
Well it could be a combination of the dad being distracted and the other driver
 
12:03 PM
They tried to address everything and created yet another bullshit PSA.
 
Sadly, there are far worse PSAs
 
yeah, if the other driver merged unsafely, it's on the other driver
 
@arda that's where you go full antilock and if you're lucky change your pants
 
@twobugs the dad did finish call and girl did go back to her seat before the guy, what, merged unsafely.
 
Besides, 60 is not that fast
 
12:06 PM
@arda You should theoretically always keep enough distance to not have this issue.
 
It just sounds like a PSA about distracted driving in general
The dad was distracted and probably could have given merging traffic more space
 
@Arperum the guy should theoretically not merge into your lane right in front of you.
 
The guy who merged wrong and then braked is definitely going to hell
Et cetera
 
Alternatively, this becomes the "Mistakes" campaign from NZ
 
@arda Yes. ANd if that happens you should brake to create your distance again. I know the other dude was being the person in fault.
 
12:07 PM
@Arperum there is enough distance because you're not in the same lane
 
Warning: holy fuck
 
Other countries have so much better PSAs than America
I'll vote for Trump if he promises to give us world class PSAs
 
@KevinvanderVelden Yes. ANd if dude suddenly throws himself into your lans and brakes like a lunatic you should have been braking already when he started merging right in front of your face.
 
I mean you can't do much about the fuckers who do that, that's your (the police department's) responsibility to prevent. (I see that like once every week, some people do get away safely but most crashes)
 
@arda Yes, that's part of why Driving Sucks
But you can always drive defensively
 
12:10 PM
@Unionhawk holy fuck
 
Dark as shit, right?
Here
That's a happier one
tl;dr New Zealand Transport Authority are fucking geniuses
 
Canadians have REALLY good PSAs
 
the best PSAs?
 
not even daark
 
The restaurant one still gives me chills
There's a really good board room one too
Thai Insurance commercials are really good but those aren't PSAs
 
12:14 PM
like it says "we suck at making people follow rules so if you want your son in back seat to live, drive extra cautiously and slow"
 
@Unionhawk That's hilarious.

Q: What do the village specific points do?

two bugsIn Monster Hunter Generations, there are several main villages. Doing quests for the villagers in each one will reward you with points for that specific village. I've earned a decent number of these points, but the game hasn't really explained what they actually do.

 
that I consider same as our President's main counselor saying "People already gets illegal guns for crime, we'll make legal guns easier to buy so you can protect yourself from people with illegal guns"
 
@KevinvanderVelden so this is really happening
lol
Trying to decide if I want to be a part of this nonsense
 
Doooo iiiiit
 
12:19 PM
You just said that our gun laws are perfect as no legally obtained gun is used for crime and that you want to change those, and you also said that you suck at preventing people from buying illegal guns.
 
@arda wat
 
@arda Ssssh. Don't question the dictator.
 
I don't know what the situation is like in Turkey but in America we've tried to make plenty of drugs illegal for like 30ish years now and it... hasn't worked
It's just created a black market which funnels money to the cartels, which in turn abuse people in Mexico and make them want to travel to a place where they aren't constantly being killed
 
(there are a lot of things looking very much alike between turkey and 1930something Germany)
 
There is quite a bit of difference between an addictive substance and a machine for murdering things
 
12:20 PM
Hold on no what did anyone just catch the fact that that was a comparison to "slow the fuck down"?
Am I the only one?
 
I can't imagine why. Haven't they played Dwarf Fortress? Dying is fun!
@KevinvanderVelden Yes absolutely
I just think it's clear that in America right now the gov't does not have a good track record on controlling substances deemed illegal
 
@twobugs But the war on drugs!
 
But funding the prison system!
By which I mostly mean funding the people running the prison system and the people voting for the prison system
 
I mean, a ridiculous portion of our citizens are imprisoned and a ridiculous high percentage of people in our prison system are nonviolent drug offenders
 
As in america has a higher prison population than china
 
12:24 PM
Documented, at least
 
> While the United States represents about 4.4 percent of the world's population, it houses around 22 percent of the world's prisoners
 
@twobugs They are being trained to become violent nondrug offenders
 
@Arperum that is unfortunately true. Did I say that they declared jihad on the people who attempted the coup?
 
But regardless - we have the highest documented prison population in the world (Not 100% sure)
 
Yes
I did not realize you have more than a fifth of all prisoners
That is insane
 
12:25 PM
The prison industrial complex is A Real Thing and that's scary
Not even getting into for-profit prisons
Because NOPE
 
@arda I know they were hunting them down, did not know it was actually called a jihad at some point.
 
Oh my god SOTN blindfolded
 
SOTN is a real great game
 
\o/ Test data has been turned into a major pile of pulp today.
 
I miss Castlevania
 
12:27 PM
And I'm not responsible.
 
Maybe I should stream Castlevania
@Arperum \o/
 
I could use said data not being a pile of dead though.
 
@Arperum reading adhans outside the regular hours is, by islam laws, call for jihad, and they read adhans like 20 times randomly on that night, some people said that there were adhans read nonstop for hours near their place.
 
@arda I don't know what an adhans is. I assume it's some sort of "kill the infidels" chant thing?
 
"adhan" is some chant read 5 times on specified hours everyday from mosques, calling prayers to mosque to pray
 
12:30 PM
Yay, Gravity Rush 2 this November 30th!

Q: How do I testfor a player hitting a mob?

PalestinaI'm making a custom survival map, and one thing i'd like to implement is custom mobs, but I would also like to get a sound played everytime I hit it myself, either with bow, or sword, or even fists, as long as I can play a sound when a player hurts the custom mob only. I'm pretty sure i'd have t...

Q: The fake gps it's banned in pokemon go?

Alex AndreiI have a friend who use this and I try to convince him that is wrong.

 
(Also: I'm happy with my decision of unignoring you because of certain things I saw in the transcript)
 
happy to hear that you are happy with your decision of unignoring
 
relevant
if you got 15 minutes to spare or were about to take a break at work, that's worth watching
 
12:44 PM
I found the muppet stuff really week
(pretty sure they've done it more than once, but I could be wrong)
 
this week or last week?
 
Definitely not this week
 
Really Week Tonight with John Oliver
 
This Week Last Night with @badp
 
Next Fortnight This Afternoon with @Unionhawk
 
12:50 PM
@Unionhawk I can't hear this song without seeing Lionel Richie creeping on a kid.
 
this afternoon, @Unionhawk will share with us what will this fortnight bring to those born under the sign of the scuba gear
 
@Sterno I can't hear this song without seeing spiderman
 
Spider pig, spider pig

Q: What do I get for holding gyms?

SternoSo far, gyms in my area flip so frequently that I haven't been able to hold more than one gym at a time when collecting my rewards. I know the reward for a single gym is 500 stardust and 10 coins. Does this reward scale linearly with multiple gyms, or does it follow a different progression? I'v...

 
I forgot she was blind.
 
12:56 PM
 
@Unionhawk HnK produces the best gifs
@Wipqozn Have you played Evolve much since it hit Phase 2 or whatever they're calling it? Any thoughts?
I liked the concept, but what I played of Phase 1 was not enjoyable to me
 
Three pokéstahps next to each other in a park. All had lures.
Mad scenes
@Sterno creepiest video ever
 
There's a video of a Vaporeon spawning in central park in NYC and swarms of people trying to catch it
 
I was on my way home from dropping the kids off, it's 8am, and I was driving past a park with like 9 pokestops and 3 gyms. I figured maybe I could cap more than one gym due to the early hour. NOPE
Like 20 people there
 
There were probably ~200 people all playing pokemon
Every spawn (about once every 30 secs) you could hear everyone talking about it
Bellsprout! Bellsprout! Bellsprout!
etc.
@twobugs yeah
 
1:04 PM
Sounds rather awesome
 
I did hit level 15 though, and caught 3 new pokemon
 
I failed to catch a second machop yesterday. the bugger ran off.
 
Seadra, Slowpoke and Paras
 
I did get a second paras, which is the reason I left the house.
 
@Arperum I caught 4 machops just now
 
1:05 PM
I got an electabuzz last night
 
Oh and a Lickitung
@Unionhawk woah
 
Pokemon Go isn't cool anymore. All you guys still playing it are really uncool.
 
@twobugs I've been uncool my entire life.
 
@twobugs get out
 
@Unionhawk Hm yes
 
1:06 PM
@fredley I've seen a seadra or something like it and a staryu shadow when I was at my girlfriends place, but since I do not have mobile internet outside of the border I could not go and capture them :(
 
@fredley You caught a Lickitung? That's a dupe
 
@Arperum I saw a staryu yesterday but it ran away :(
@twobugs eh?
 
Everything in Pokemon Go is a dupe
VTC @fredley
 
@twobugs You're a dupe
 
You've gone too far
 
1:07 PM
the menuing on this blindfolded run
 
Oh wow, I got some hyper potions at level 15
Think I'm just going to ditch potions now
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz IS A STARYU: DATA ACCEPTED
 
The only three Pokemon I've named are WaddleButt, ServerCrash, and DontMurderMe
 
I have a CP666 Hypno, so name choice was pretty obvious
 
NIGEL FARAGE IS A CLEFAIRY: DATA ACCEPTED
 
1:12 PM
 
@fredley I still get potions aplenty at level 16
 
Jenny conquers all! The lady in red swept to victory on a tide of poets, nuns, urchins, and fallen gentlepersons https://t.co/ggGjlztUi2
Mmmhmm, my candidate won
 
@twobugs I don't have bagspace
 
@fredley I got a polywag from the 5km egg that finally hatched!
 
@Arperum nice
 
1:14 PM
I hatched a 5km egg, got a CP26 magikarp...
 
Just caught a CP400 bellsprout, that sounds like it could be very powerful when evolved
 
@Chippies I have never even seen a magicarp.

Q: Pokemon go no internet connectivity

LadyOmiyaI get a message saying that there's no internet connectivity if I'm not on wifi, even if I have full 4g. The game worked fine for me for the first 24 hours though. If I get on the app at home on wifi and then go for a walk, it still tracks my movements perfectly, but the screen is frozen to comma...

Q: Pokemon go has not been released here yet will it work?

David LanceI have been walking for hours and I can't still find any pokemon.When there's a nearby pokemon it doesn't show how far it is.And I haven't found a single poke stop and gym.Pls help me guys !!!

 
Probably
 
1:15 PM
Someone just lured the pokestop under the office
 
@fredley Welcome to the hell of Pokemon Go
 
@fredley rip productivity.
 
It go to the point where I was dropping revives because I had like a million and never enough chances to use them
 
@Unionhawk I think it's kind of funny. I think it's kind of sad.
 
The Dreams In Which I'm Drowzee Are The Best I've Ever Tasted
2
Cause he eats dreams, see
 
1:19 PM
@twobugs Yeah, revives are trash
 
I mean, they're helpful
I just seem to end up with far more Revives than I can actually use
I have to run an errand around lunchtime which means I'm getting Qdoba for lunch
cc @GodEmperorDune
 
I was driving around collecting pokestops with 2 colleagues after work, we got like 60+ pokestops
 
I have a meeting at 11-11:30 which either means I'm having a burger for lunch, or I'm going to Chipotle
 
found snorlax, they both caught it, I spent like 25 pokeballs on it and then it ran away
 
I'll find out which one at 11:30
 
1:21 PM
oooh. There is a bellsprout shadow visible from the office.
 
I'm really a fan of the 3 footprint bug
That makes it like the real games; you don't have any idea where the pokemon are at!
 
@Unionhawk Yeah, I've got that right now.
 
it's at position 4 anyway, so not too close.
 
@Frank afaik that must have been introduced in the last release
 
@Unionhawk Hope it clears up soon.
Go is no fun if you can't catch anything.
 
1:23 PM
yup
I mean you can catch stuff you just have to guess
 
I Have No Minecraft Crash Log And I Must Scream
 
@Unionhawk Or know the couple possible spots nearby.
 
I don't think Great balls make any difference
It's all just a ruse
 
They do, but catch rates are stupid
So it's an accurate Pokemon game!
 
1:28 PM
@twobugs Just caught a 500CP oddish in one throw with a regular pokébull
 
@twobugs So is your left bugs' face.
 
I got my electabuzz first try
regular ball
300 CP though
or so
 
I got my dratini first try with a curveball.
50cp though.
 
@Arperum lucky
lowcp pokémen best pokémans
 
@Arperum You're going to die horribly and repeatedly whenever I get back to Darkest Dungeon
 
1:30 PM
@twobugs \o/
@fredley I was lvl 3 or something at the time.
 
@Arperum OK now I hate you
 
@fredley As a bonus: I was stopped at a crossroads when driving to work. I did miss a kadabra because driven past it 10 minutes earlier.
I have barely any other pokemon worth a thing though.
BELLSPROUT MOVED TO CLOSEST POSITION IN LIST
 
I caught a Kadabra, but his CP is like 13
 
@Unionhawk Wait do you mean it's not supposed to be like that
 
1:33 PM
I got an abra at the spawnspot 200m from home.
 
does gh not ob?
 
@twobugs nope
 
I just assumed it was intended to be an inaccurate pile of crap
 
It's supposed to be a hot and cold mini game
 
Since it's always been 3steps for me
I blame Samsung
 
1:33 PM
Right now it shows everyone as 3 steps for me and I want to believe all android users
 
> hot pokémen in your area
 
HamStare @fredley
 
@Unionhawk it does for me
 
@Unionhawk It does for me since the 29.2 update.
 
Cool, so yeah, that was a bug introduced then
which is SUPER COOL
 
1:35 PM
@fredley Is ther some website where this is avaialable?
 
@Unionhawk same for iphone users
 
Aside from setting up something myself.
 
@Chippies Neat!
 
@Arperum put the effort in
It requires credentials tor un, so no
 
SO I'm going to have to figure out how to get some python thing to run. ANd since I'm a cheapskate I'll have to do so at my own pc at home.
 
1:39 PM
urgh, people complaining about the new WoW patch being 19th in US and 20th in EU
 
Does it come out at a different time or is it just time zone stuff?
 
@sequoiad Don't they usually have some goofy time thing for releases?
I know in the past people have been upset when stuff comes out significantly earlier in the US or EU because it gives people more time in progression races
But this is just the expansion prepatch
 
yeah there's no advantage to be got in this one
and when you work it out, there's very little actual difference in when it becomes available to play
but yeah, people love to moan
it's just the usual server maintenance windows
 
Man back in the FF11 days server maintenance was literally always scheduled for NA primetime :P
Those were funny days

Q: Unfriendly NPC keeps sending me a war proposal

BadAtPHPA certain empire keeps proposing me to go at war. However I'm not in good terms with said empire (110), and I cant seem to find WHY he keeps asking me. I'm not in the same Alliance, I don't have a defensive pact with him or his allies. Nor do I have those with the person he wants to declare war a...

Q: Is there any way to check which quests I have completed the subquest for?

two bugsIn Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, there were in-game achievements for doing subquests (At least, I remember them). I assume Monster Hunter Generations has them as well, and because I'm a goofball I'd like to earn these. Is there any way to see which quests I have completed the subquests for?

Q: Not getting candy for Pokemon transfer

AzirisI was transferring 3 different common Pokemons (my first transfers) and did not get any candy for it. I picked one to Transfer, pressed Transfer button then Yes. Nothing happened, just the Yes/No dialog closed, I still saw the same Pokemon with Transfer ability in front of me. Exiting Pokemon d...

Q: Can I switch which ending I get after the final boss but before the credits?

zaroseThe title alone should suffice to say there will be spoilers throughout. Let's say I give the Eyes of a Firekeeper to the Firekeeper, as well as follow Yoel and Yuria's questline as necessary. Then I kill the Soul of Cinder. At this point, standing in the empty arena, I haven't interacted with t...

 
1:45 PM
not too fussed personally, gonna have plently of time even not playing this week at all
 
I'm mainly trying to get my Mythic Archimonde mount. Really pissed they made it drop only 1, so there are still people in my raid group who need it
1 drop per week per 20 man group. Good call.
 
tbh i missed the last 6 months or so of WoW
 
@twobugs Forces re-runs.
It's a pretty smart move on Blizzard's part.
 
did HC Archimonde, then people started dropping out and wern't geared for Mythic
 
@Frank I'm fine with that, but they intentionally made it drop fewer mounts than this content has dropped in the past
The last boss of the previous expansion dropped 2, for example
 
1:50 PM
+ I got very bored of Garrison stuff VERY quickly
 
Garrison stuff was a neat idea that they implemented poorly
I got very burned out on it too
 
yeah, it was a great idea... feel like they rushed how you grew it though
 
Pros: having your own base, being able to customize it, your base gives you perks, having people you command
 
Cons: You still don't have your own house!
 
Cons: your base is completely separate from the world and not integrated, customization options are pretty much nonexistent, there are a few clear 'best' perks, the follower stuff is completely passive and way too shallow
 
1:52 PM
like the cinematics when you upgraded the Garrison to level 3, they only make sense when you view them after the events of 6.2
 
@SaintWacko Houses suck!
 
but you got level 3 very quickly
 
There should be a game where you get a house but it's an actual simulation of real world house ownership
So it's a huge pain in the ass and a lot of work
 
@twobugs The Sims?
 
The Sims is not a realistic simulation game
 
1:53 PM
It's not a huuge pain in the ass, but you do share in many of the... *ahem* joys of homeownership
@twobugs Well no, because if it is you're better off turning off your computer and going outside
 
Garrison cons: being forced by the game to do Garrison, whether you enjoyed it or not
 
@PrivatePansy I just want to punish people who want in-game housing!
@sequoiad Yup, a lot of content was tied to it
 
yessss, git reset -p is a thing
 
like originally they said it would be entirely optional... but on release not doing it put you so far behind in gear, gold and the legendary quest
 
Apparently Legion has a version of it, but a much more optional and minimal side version
 
1:56 PM
yeah, hopefully they've learnt a lesson from that
 
The shipyard was an... alright change I guess, but it still felt like you reached a sufficiently 'built up' point too early
 
@badp What does that do?
 
I basically never lose ships and just farm missions at this point
 
@KevinvanderVelden the opposite of git add -p
 
1:57 PM
git add -p goes over your git diff, and asks you for each "hunk" of changes if you want to stage them
 
I never really even got past the start of shipyard
 
git reset -p goes over your git diff --staged, and asks you for each "hunk" of changes if you want to unstage them
 
@sequoiad It's pretty much the same idea except your followers are ships and they can die
Oh and when you build a ship it has a chance to be a special ship because, you know
 
@badp gadp
 
by that point, I'd pretty much given up with followers, resources, timed RNG missions...
 
1:58 PM
@badp fancy
 
@twobugs what do you mean a "special ship"?
 
git checkout -p asks you you which hunks of changes you just want to throw away. git stash -p asks you which hunks of changes you want to stash.
 
you mean the fact that it can be rare or epic right off the bat? Followers can do that too
 
@Chippies Certain types can spawn with special crews you don't get otherwise
i.e. Murloc crew has like a 5% chance
