@Ellesedil i think they turned into eevee nests

Well I didn't feel very positive about Overwatch streaming since nobody seemed interested in the chat

arda

I might also make the 48hr version public...

Ellesedil

@Dragonrage Yeah, I thought they did too. I occasionally see Dratini on my tracker, and I'd like to farm some as I never did when they had nests originally.

arda

after another thought, I will not. Its aspect ratio scaling is terribly broken

Dragonrage

ive found one dragonair. it was really low though

Ellesedil

I have 3 Dratini candy and a 38 CP Dratini. No Dragonite for me anytime soon without finding a nest.

@GodEmperorDune I work on top of a Pokestop.

@GodEmperorDune Yup, and the article points out several more red flags, like the fact that it was plagiarized not once, but twice - once copy pasted from another conservative conspiracy blog, which itself copied from yet another blog of the same nature

Fluttershy

Y'know what ruins a potential car sale for a car salesman? Being a condescending dick to the potential buyer. A car salesman learned that today.

user15026

@Fluttershy Oh, lovely :(

GodEmperorDune

@Fluttershy why would that ever work?

"let me tell you, you're a loser if you don't buy this new car and use it to go see the terrific wall i'm gonna build"

Fluttershy

Basically, I went to them with "this is what I'm paying, this is what my interest is. Here's what I need my payment to be, and here's what I need my interest to be." When they were nowhere near the numbers I gave them, I said no, and the guy was like, "You blew one shot, now you're walking out of here and blowing another."

GodEmperorDune

12:12 AM

@Fluttershy wat

user15026

@Fluttershy Like i get maybe being like "I'm sorry, we can't match that because reasons" or whatever but this is a whole other level of idiocy

GodEmperorDune

i thought i wouldn't see a worse salesperson than this guy who didn't like to talk. At all. It was like pulling teeth to get him to run numbers and stuff, until he finally gave up and we dealt with his supervisor

but yeah that is a whole different level of wat

Fluttershy

Yeah. It may have been a better deal, but I told them I didn't have any money to put down, just a trade-in, and they said they needed $2000 down. So I just noped out of there.

GodEmperorDune

yeah they don't understand $0 down. it took like 20 minutes until i was like, I have $10 in my pocket, put that as the down

i mean aren't you required to have people skills to be a salesperson?

Fluttershy

One would think!

This is where my dad working for a dealership as a mechanic has saved my sister and I, because they all like him there and know him (and know my sister because she worked there on and off for 4 years as a mechanic), so that cuts through all the stupid.

user15026

I hate how many people I know have shitty salespeople car buying stories

user15026

its like YOU ARE IN SALES, that should make you by default not a complete asshat

GodEmperorDune

@Ash i mean i expect the total bro salesperson who is too slick for their own good

user15026

@GodEmperorDune yeah, I get that, because that's the kind of people who usually end up in sales, but it still frustrates me that everyone expects a major money dropping thing to be an aggravation because it is just so ridiculous that it is that way

GodEmperorDune

12:22 AM

i mean the only reason to go to a dealership now is to test drive, i'd much rather do the test drive, leave, buy it online and come back to sign the receipt and drive off

instead of burning a whole afternoon on juvenile head games

then finally you buy it and sit through another hour of paperwork on the oldest piece of machinery that could technically be called a computer

Ellesedil

Woot, I managed to find Here's to Us [Guest Version] on Slacker to favorite.

user15026

@Ellesedil I have my usual problem with that version as I do with covers and guest versions in general, they scramble my brain because my brain is used to one thing and the different voices literally feel like my ears have tripped over a crack in the sidewalk

user15026

It's a stupid thing that's weird to explain

Ellesedil

@Ash I can understand that. I just find it pretty impressive who they managed to contribute to it. And Maria Brinks pretty much rocks her line.

user15026

12:30 AM

@Ellesedil Oh, yeah, the people they got to participate is really neat

Ellesedil

I'd probably listen the hell out of a In This Moment cover of that song.

GodEmperorDune

@Ash but you watch glee? isn't all of glee about covers?

user15026

@GodEmperorDune I tend to skip through a lot of the music >.>

user15026

(Which makes me liking it extra weird, I know)

user15026

like if it is a song I really like, I can sometimes get through without my brain going ITS ALL WRONG FOREVER

user15026

12:32 AM

unless they do a lot of word changes like they did with the here's to us cover

user15026

that one I was like "oh I like this song WAIT NO THEY BROKE IT"

user15026

and I know blahblah have to censor for network blahblah

but it's still weird

Ellesedil

@Ash I managed to listen to half of it on Youtube before I bailed.

user15026

@Ellesedil It's so brooooken

GodEmperorDune

12:33 AM

not really a cover, but i spent so long listening to the original cast recording of phantom of the opera that whenever i go see it i want to jump up and down and yell at them for the minor tweaks they do

user15026

@GodEmperorDune I have this problem with the movie version of RENT vs. the stage version

GodEmperorDune

"no, you must be imagining it... DAMMIT THERE THEY GO AGAIN"

Ellesedil

I saw the American Idiot musical. It was actually pretty neat. The differences were subtle, but they managed to find a lead who sounded a lot like Armstrong.

So it was easy to get into the songs.

GodEmperorDune

@Ash yeah the movie version of phantom did that to me too

user15026

I have both on DVD but I don't like how they changed the lyrics for the movie (because the stage play takes place in a much shorter timeframe than the movie for a lot of it)

user15026

12:36 AM

(I also like that the DVD of the stage version of RENT includes the intermission, so its 15 min of just watching people wander around and stuff :P)

GodEmperorDune

Okay, time to have the worlds careful-est shower.

user15026

Arm falling off would probably go under the list of "not good" things.

arda

@Sterno lol, can't say he is wrong. 50 hours aside, if you play like 20 hours, then you must've pretty much seen most game mechanics and common bugs, and refunding while claiming those are the issue is basically lying.

GOG + Steam's refund policies combined would be great. You can refund for whatever in 2 weeks of ownership and 2 hours of play and refund for game-breaking bugs in 1 month of ownership, no matter hours played.

Unionhawk

@Yuuki oh I actually didn't know this conversation was occurring when I posted that

Yeah, asking for a refund after 50 hours is a bit ridiculous, but so is calling someone a thief for asking for a refund. Whether or not they get it.

Wipqozn

@Sterno the trick is to be better at the Game . Also finding all that evidence was much harder than I expected.

@Wipqozn I had to cheat and use detective vision

Wipqozn

@Sterno me too

2:10 AM

Radko Perry just said he doesn't really have an ideology. He just tells people what they want to hear.

Definitely Trump.

Wipqozn

Also do you find yourself with more praxis points than you know what to do with?

Sterno

@Wipqozn I'm definitely into the "maybe I'll use this some day" stuff, yeah.

I don't really need any of the combat related stuff, which is half of them

At this point I'm looking at things like less power drain on detective vision.

I just bought all 4 points of invisibility because I figured hey, why not? But doubt I'll ever use it

Wipqozn

@Sterno yup. Supposedly that tesla thing us really buggy, do I'm not even bothering trying that for stealth.

Sterno

Really the only augs that I feel were critical were hacking (because I feel compelled to hack all the things, not because the game actually requires it), remote hacking (BEST AUG), high jumping, lift-heavy-things, and no fall damage. After that some nice to haves were enemy radar, detective vision

After that it's just kind of like "Eh, whatever"

@Wipqozn Yeah. Weird choice.

I mean, I guess I am carrying about 50 biocells, so I could actually keep my bar full. But it would only matter if you want to keep a power-use-aug up for a long time, like really long invisibility or something

even then, you can hit your biocells before it runs out

Yeah, I mostly just forget to pop the biocells and then run out of power

Why is a spam post flagged as offensive?

Nzall

@KazWolfe because I flagged it as spam

so it can be removed

Kaz Wolfe

@Nzall Okay, why not flag the post itself as spam?

Instead of flagging the bot who is just reporting on the fact a post exists, and subsequently sending a message to every 10k user in the network?

Nzall

Because the question itself is already deleted, but I want to get the chat message out of here

Kaz Wolfe

That's not what the spam flag is for.

Nzall

Kaz Wolfe

Nothing, it's been dealt with.

It's going to disappear into the transcript after a while, or a mod will willingly remove it when they see it.

Nzall

@KazWolfe no it's not, the chat message is still there

Kaz Wolfe

I see that.

The flag in chat is supposed to be used (IIRC) for messages posted in this chat that are spammy in nature, not links to spam.

Nzall

That's why I reported it: so it can be removed from the chat history

If the latter were true, we'd have a lot of legitimate users bringing spam to our attention get false flags thrown against them.

Nzall

It's no use deleting the spam message that prompted it but not removing any other references.

Kaz Wolfe

Then take it up with the Lazers bot.

But, the message itself (which is just a link to a removed spam post, mind you) is not spam itself, and does not warrant a flag.

In fact, one could argue that the post in question serves a legitimate purpose to show users that (a) spam has been posted, and (b) it's been dealt with.

Problem is that there isn't really a "this should be removed" flag

Mad Scientist

@Nzall using chat offensive flags for this is really not a good idea. It tends to confuse users because the purpose is not immediately clear (and you e.g. don't want to validate the flag if a real user quoted spam, for example).

Nzall

@MadScientist Then what should I use? flag for moderator attention?

Mad Scientist

I tend to just silently delete spam in feeds when I see it. If there's a mod around you could just ping them

@PrivatePansy to do the things usually done with rowspan? Yes it is

rowspan is the equivalent of merging cells together. It's not CSS

Kevin van der Velden

Yes, but it's usually used for creating table layouts

Private Pansy

9:01 AM

Erm...

Kevin van der Velden

Which is what I'm saying we have css for

Private Pansy

Tabular data exist. Some tabular data contains merged cells. Sometimes we need to translate that to HTML. I wouldn't usually jump to the conclusion that rowspan = using table for layout

Kevin van der Velden

"usually"

sequoiad

@SonofaSailor me neither, no login queues on my low-pop server, although Silvermoon and Dreanor (2 of the highest population EU servers) did see some fairly lengthy queues. Some slightly longer loading times on Dalaran than I might expect, but that's all so far

I suspect allowing the playerbase to choose what order to do zones in as well is helping

removes that initial bottleneck effect that first zones have always had

remembers Hellfire Peninsula at TBC launch and shudders

Son of a Sailor

@sequoiad You arent allowed to get any more rep :P

Yeah the splitting up really helps, instead of everyone slamming into one zone we're all scattering to get artifacts, then doing a single player scenario before finally dispersing into zones

Guildmates are saying too that they staggered the initial quest over 20 minutes leading up to launch time so not everyone was trying to turn it in at once

MoP intro quest was fun... 12:00: quest pops up "Quick! everyone converge on Varian!" long cut scene Ok cool, time to go! every 85 on the server pops back into existence in one exact spot in SW and needs to click on Varian to continue

everyone: "Move your damn Mammoth/Dragon/Proto-Drake!!!"

Q: What is this thing?

Everything was going so well. I had a great food supply, 21 happy dwarves, a thriving fortress and plenty of plans to expand. I just started digging out some more rooms for metal working when my screen suddenly jumped up a few z-layers and this message appeared: The Wereloris Ellum Budosana h...

@Lazers2.0 dwarf fortress always brings out the best of answers from me

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden adds figuring out dwarf fortress higher to the list of to do stuff and adds goal of having a were-something army/fort

Kevin van der Velden

It's quite possible, when they purge all the not-were-beings it'll be a fine fort

arda

oh cool, I think the new regulations are applied

@KevinvanderVelden What about reproduction? how well do babies deal with being bitten/whatever by were things.

Or do werethings get werething kids?

Kevin van der Velden

I don't know actually

I think they can be born but they'll be (probably) killed the next month

I believe I have had a werebear baby.

Kevin van der Velden

It's also possible for babies to survive though, weird things happen then

Obduction is still great by the way

Although I'm super terrible at it

@Arperum dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/…

KutuluMike

if it's an utterly absurd idea that's sure to get everyone killed, but sounds funny, there's probably a DF wiki article on it

> The most successful method discovered is to lock a werebeast in a room with civilians, but be sure the room is completely covered in cage traps. Many injuries inflicted by werebeasts can knock a dwarf unconscious due to pain or strangulation, and an unconscious dwarf will be trapped by a cage trap. In the cage, dwarves are free to recover from their wounds, safe from any further attacks.

> In addition, a dwarf who is released from a cage gets an enormous happiness boost that will help him cope with the loss of family and friends who were not so lucky. Further improvements to this technique, such as assigning the uncursed to squads with no uniform (or just a helmet) that replaces clothing in order to allow every bite to break the skin, have pushed successful conversion rates to near 50%.

Q: How many lure modules can a trainer drop simultaneously?

We're thinking to do some on-ground campaign with Pokemon Go. Basically, we will have a leader (trainer) who will be purchasing lots of lure modules and dropping them at Pokestops to create crowd engagement. The question is, say, if there are 3 Pokestops at a location, can the same trainer drop ...

Dwarf Fortress seems awesome, but not really something for me

graphics are too ugly and the game is FAR too complicated for me

Kevin van der Velden

What graphics?

Nzall

@KevinvanderVelden it's purely ASCII art, that's not for me

And yes, I know I can install a texture pack, but that barely changes things

Kevin van der Velden

Like I said, what graphics. It has none

Though stonesense is still awesome

Nzall

@KevinvanderVelden no, DOS has no graphics. DF has just ASCII art

@KevinvanderVelden unicode 9 is fairly new so not all systems support it, but that is a shrug emoji.

First of all, hello everyone, I'm currently making a program to read region files (r.#.#.mca). The problem I have is that I can't decompress them, I tried GZip and ZLib decompression but none of them worked. I already searched for solutions but there is little to no information online.

Q: What is the quickest way to get exp on a factions server?

I've got a faction in Minecraft and I really want to enchant my bow, however it is taking a long time to get exp from blaze spawners, zombie pigmen spawners, and creeper spawners. Is there a way to quickly get EXP without using spawners, PVP or using any weapons? Ideally it should also be cheap ...

Antonín Dvořák - Requiem

►

Oh man the beginning of this piece is so powerful

I haven't listened to much Dvorak, since tbh I didn't used to like most of his music.

cc @fredley @StrixVaria @GnomeSlice

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn You prefer Qwerty right?

Wipqozn

@KevinvanderVelden Actually I prefer Dvorak for anything not gaming, but changing the keys is too much of a hassle so I haven't used it since university.

Q: I need help with Pilfering perfume quest

In Pilfering Perfume quest, how do I find crown chemical company outside Stormwind city

world-of-warcraft

Wipqozn

And although I could not change the keys, I find it hard to type in Dvorak if the keyboard has a qwerty layout and vice versa, which is weird since I don't ever look at the keyboard buuuuuuuuuuuut WHATEVERS MAN

also I like that I completely shutdown your joke by actually knowing what Dvorak was, having used it before, and actually preferring it. Get rekt @KevinvanderVelden.

Having used it before a lot, actually. For like 2-3 years.

@Wipqozn I applaud your weirdness for liking dvorak bows

just switched my work keyboard over to Dvorak

Kevin van der Velden

Also I did expect you to know what it was, heck I expect most people in this chat know what it is

Wipqozn

@KevinvanderVelden yeah true. our demographic is abit skewed towards knowing that thing exists.

fredley

@Wipqozn Dvorak requiem is good. Better than Fauré in places

Howells Requiem still the best

Wipqozn

@fredley I'll listen to that next

I think I'm going to play Sytx intead of Theif once I finish with DX, since I never finished Styx. I'll start over from scratch, though, just like your mom.

You should play Obduction
