Q: How to get an up to date answer for old questions with obsolete answeres?

Imagine you have a question about a game. You first search for it and find it answered a long time ago. Back then the answer was correct, but since then the game mechanics changed several times, so that it is now outdated and obviously wrong for the current version of the game. How is it possibl...

Yuuki

@PrivatePansy Is an Institute rifle really pre-War tech though?

Arperum

@Wipqozn Good.

two bugs

@Wipqozn It's scary to think people like that can become judges in the first place

Arperum

3:19 PM

@Sterno update on that code from a bit earlier: I looked at the function that was inside the try/catch. All of the content of said function is surrounded by a try/catch (with an empty catch of course)

So I basically had a try catch inside a try catch.

Private Pansy

It's extra safe code!

MadMAxJr

I picked up the 'Last Minute' railgun.

I love that gun so much.

Arperum

@PrivatePansy Except that I just removed both of the safety bracelets. watches code drown

Yuuki

@MadMAxJr In my uneducated opinion, +50% limb damage is rather meh compared to most other legendary modifiers.

MadMAxJr

@PrivatePansy I just started The Jennifer Morgue this week.

@Yuuki I should add, this is my first railgun. I just like the railgun period.

Yuuki

3:25 PM

Gauss Gun is awesome, don't get me wrong, I just feel like Crippling is a better legendary modifier.

For what they both do.

MadMAxJr

I keep finding legendary pool cues.

I have four distributed in Sanctuary.

Yuuki

I'm trying to figure out what modifier would be best on an alpha strike sniper rifle.

MadMAxJr

Pool cue with a knife on the end. But it does 50 radiation damage.

Yuuki

I'm thinking either Instigating or Penetrating.

MadMAxJr

It's a shame the settlement raids don't increase in complexity. I'd like to see something really test the setup I have.

Yuuki

3:26 PM

Maaaaaybe Junkie's.

Arperum

@MadMAxJr Hey, at least you can play a legendary game of pool once you find a legendary pool table.

Yuuki

Junkie's is kinda ridiculous. I'm addicted to Buffout and Jet right now and my Junkie's Gauss Gun is showing 400+ damage.

@MadMAxJr Personally I liked the book after that, The Fuller Memorandum best out of all I've read so far

GnomeSlice

@fredley I wouldn't have pegged you as a Gorillaz fan

fredley

3:33 PM

@GnomeSlice I like that song

Ronan Forman

@fredley I was actually talking about the song Dare, because it's clearly just the guy mispronouncing 'there'.

@GnomeSlice Isn't everyone?

MadMAxJr

Letsee. I found a nocturnal .44 revolver.

Close to midnight I think it's ~400 damage.

Yuuki

@MadMAxJr Dang, that's nice.

MadMAxJr

Nothing has survived a sneak attack from it.

I did find something immensely pointless. A minigun with 50% more ghoul damage.

GnomeSlice

I remember the old shockwave Gorillaz: Final Drive game too

that was fun

Texenox

3:35 PM

Hey lads.

fredley

@RonanForman Let's not get into a chat about mispronunciation, Northerner.

Texenox

I got an enquiry.

Ronan Forman

Literally I can't think of anyone I know who doesn't like Gorillaz. It's weird.

MadMAxJr

I can't say I like all of their tunes, but there's a few choice ones I like.

Ronan Forman

@fredley He was so drunk when he recorded it.

Q: How can I keep my Kings from fighting each other?

I'm running a nice empire with, as any self respecting Emperor would require, absolute crown authority. The wiki says: Vassals can no longer go to war (except to rebel) at all ... It also does not work for any king vassal unless they are your de jure vassal. I have several King vassals who ...

crusader-kings-2

Ronan Forman

@fredley You southerners do seem to love talking about it.

GnomeSlice

If any of you really enjoyed Super Crate Box, POOF vs the Cursed Kitty is $2.10 on GG right now

Texenox

Only song I've ever listened to by Gorillaz was Rhinestone Eyes.

It was alright. Not really my thing, but it was alright.

Yuuki

@GodEmperorDune I'm not sure how I feel about the sides Tony and Steve are taking in this movie.

Ronan Forman

3:40 PM

@Yuuki Aren't they the same ones as in the comics?

Yuuki

On one hand, it doesn't really fit their characterization. On the other hand, you could justify the characterization changing due to the themes of their arcs.

Texenox

Anyways, I've got a problem here and I'm not sure what to do to sort it out.

Yuuki

@RonanForman The thing is, their movie characterization is just so different. Or at least Tony's is.

Texenox

Can't think of an efficient way to fix it, so I need some help.

Ronan Forman

@Texenox Hide under you desk and cry? That's my go-to solution.

GodEmperorDune

3:41 PM

@Yuuki if i understand the civil war arc, its supposed to be more about the registration, but the trailer puts it as pro bucky or anti bucky

Ronan Forman

@Yuuki True.

Texenox

@RonanForman uh

Anyways. You guys remember that program I showed here a long time ago in Python?

Yuuki

Tony's characterization in the movies has been the loose cannon, cowboy cop. Screw the government and everyone else, I know what's right and I'm gonna do it.

It really came to a head in Age of Ultron.

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki i think that changed with age of ultron

Yuuki

@GodEmperorDune The problem with that is The Vision. Clearly, his loose cannon tendencies won out there.

GodEmperorDune

3:42 PM

he has been getting slowly more an d more pro govt

Yuuki

So he has very little justification for changing his character the way he does for Civil War.

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki making ultron is a bigger screwup than accidentally making vision redeems

Yuuki

If we're talking about comics Ultron, yes.

But movie Ultron is somewhat less intimidating.

GnomeSlice

@Yuuki He was pretty scary

I didn't like his flippant dialogue though.

Yuuki

Maybe I'd feel less on-the-fence about this if Age of Ultron didn't feel like it took place over a weekend.

GodEmperorDune

3:44 PM

ultron caused a lot of collateral damage that the avengers got blamed for

Yuuki

@GnomeSlice Comics Ultron is ultimately much scarier.

Ronan Forman

@Yuuki That was a bit weird wasn't it.

It hadn't occurred to me.

Yuuki

@GnomeSlice I actually liked that though. Part of what makes Ultron scary is the fact that he's somewhat distinctly not a robot.

Ronan Forman

@Texenox Don't judge my methods.

GodEmperorDune

@RonanForman yeah it does seem a bit rushed

GnomeSlice

3:46 PM

@Yuuki They never really explained what Ultron was in the film.

Yuuki

In both the comics and the movie, he's not logical and rational (though he occasionally does demonstrate those qualities), but very very very insane.

And slightly emotional.

Texenox

@RonanForman ...*anyways*

Yuuki

And that's a scary thing to have in an AI.

GodEmperorDune

@GnomeSlice a little bit of jarvis, plus the crazy cxrystal thing, plus watching all that terrible newsreel footage

and deciding (rather logcially) that humanity has to go

GnomeSlice

He's not a human made AI though right

GodEmperorDune

3:48 PM

@GnomeSlice jarvis sorto f was human made

GnomeSlice

Jarvis seemed less human than Ultron though

Also they never explained why at first they decided Jarvis couldn't handle it, and then eventually he just did anyway.

MadMAxJr

I'll take Codsworth over Jarvis.

Private Pansy

Does Jarvis have any sort of personality at all?

Yuuki

Depends on whether you're talking JARVIS or the Vision.

GnomeSlice

> No, the real problem is with how Quicksilver becomes -very quickly- a throw-away character. We get a little background, a little “I want vindication” and a little feeling for his strife, but just as rapidly he’s wiped out by, what else? A barrage of gunfire. Seriously? This is all we get? He barely does anything of use, aside from bowl over a few robots and speak in laughable Russian. Then, down he goes. This is stupid.

haha

Yuuki

3:53 PM

> "Marvel needs to kill off one of their hero characters, the universe is too light-hearted and not serious enough."
> "NO, NOT QUICKSILVER!"

Ronan Forman

@Yuuki At least kill off the X-Men one!

Yuuki

People underestimate how ridiculously overpowered speedsters can be.

GnomeSlice

I didn't quite understand the hulkbuster thing either

Yuuki

They needed to get rid of Quicksilver, otherwise every plot afterwards would have the giant hole of "why didn't they get Quicksilver to do it?"

GnomeSlice

I thought the Hulk was literally unstoppable

Yuuki

3:54 PM

@GnomeSlice Movie Hulk is somewhat nerfed compared to his comics self.

GnomeSlice

Isn't comics Hulk like the strongest thing everywhere, forever?

MadMAxJr

Well Hulkbuster wasn't exactly hulkproof. But it did buy him some time.

GnomeSlice

also

MadMAxJr

The same way Batman keeps a file on how to beat members of the Justice League. Tony thinks up suits to deal with other powers 'just in case'.

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki because quicksilver was busy helping build orphanages and third world infrastructure and doing ultimately more good than fooling around with a supervillain

MadMAxJr

3:56 PM

Hulkbuster also requires realizing 'this is a comic book story'.

GnomeSlice

Heh

I've never really read the comics.

GodEmperorDune

@MadMAxJr just like batman with the anti-superman suit

GnomeSlice

Were the Hulk comics just the Hulk crushing everything until he calms down and never getting hurt?

MadMAxJr

I mean Ultron could have just ignited the atmosphere then built his robot army from the ashes.

Ronan Forman

Does Batman have an anti-Batman suit?

Texenox

3:57 PM

...looks like I've fixed the problem I had.

GodEmperorDune

@RonanForman actually he does have files on how to stop himself

MadMAxJr

Hulk tends to vary depending on story arc.

Ronan Forman

@Texenox Glad to be of service.

Yuuki

@GnomeSlice Also, that's the Juggernaut, not the Hulk.

Texenox

@RonanForman Not thanks to your method.

MadMAxJr

3:58 PM

I believe through Civil War, Hulk was kept in a sattelite in orbit because they couldn't really think of a safe way to deal with him.

Yuuki

Hulk is stoppable, it's just really hard to get to that point. Juggernaut is magically enchanted to be an unstoppable object.

Ronan Forman

@Texenox Sure. winks knowingly

GodEmperorDune

@MadMAxJr i thought they sent him to planet hulk

Texenox

@RonanForman ...*un*knowingly.

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki except by professor X if his helmet comes loose

Texenox

3:58 PM

Anyways, this was my problem.

Wipqozn

@twobugs Yes, yes it is

GnomeSlice

@Yuuki He's that guy from Street Fighter right

MadMAxJr

I don't recall the specifics. I was too busy giggling at the part of Civil War where She-Hulk is a superhero rights attorney and there were a few issues of the ongoing legal battles of hero registration.

Texenox

Observe the following program I have been working on for a while at school.

GodEmperorDune

@GnomeSlice no, x man villain

Texenox

3:59 PM

import ast
import getpass
import pickle
import sys

nope = "I didn't quite get that. Mind trying again?"

class Player(object):

    def __init__(self):
        self.name = ""
        self.email = ""
        self.password = ""
        self.age = ""
        self.gender = ""

    def writing(self):
        accounts[p.name] = [p.email, p.password, p.age, p.gender]
        with open('players', 'wb') as f:
            pickle.dump(accounts, f)

    def writingD(self):
        accounts[p.name] = [p.email, p.password, p.age, p.gender]

GnomeSlice

I know lol

"I'm the Juggernaut bitch"

GodEmperorDune

Texenox

The problem I had was that rather than having that with open('debug', 'r') as f: block at first, I actually constantly set the accounts variable to an empty dict.

GodEmperorDune

in unrelated news, smbc is great
