NMS killed me. I was murdered by that game.
 
No Bugs' Sky
 
RIP @twobugs. The funerals will be on Friday and Saturday.
> Back in June, Steve Burke described what he called his Olympics “nightmare.”
“We wake up someday and the ratings are down 20 percent,” the chief executive officer of NBCUniversal said at a conference. “If that happens, my prediction would be that millennials had been in a Facebook bubble or a Snapchat bubble and the Olympics have come, and they didn’t know it.”
 
@Yuuki hue
 
Or... we're watching the Olympics elsewhere because NBC has terrible coverage.
> Prime-time broadcast viewership has been down about 17 percent compared to the London games four years ago.
 
funny how NBC has tons of reasons for why its never their fault
 
3:14 PM
AT FAULT... ALL MILLENIALS
 
guess what NBC, if you threw that stuff on youtube i'd be all over it
 
It wouldn't be a problem if I could stream it without a cable login
 
Commercials every 5 seconds? Millenials
 
instead its like camera phone shots of the tv and your website is a bloated mess
or hell, sell it to netflix and let me stream it there
 
> What throws me is that NBC already broadcasts 45-minute football halves without commercials. They do the picture-in-picture thing with NASCAR/F1 to keep live action going alongside commercials.
 
3:17 PM
@Yuuki what 45 minute football game without commercials?
 
Egg Inc is a fun incremental on Android
cc @Ash @StrixVaria
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice that is a good one, yes!
 
@GodEmperorDune I imagine for their whatever-day-it-is Night Football specials?
 
wait what
 
3:19 PM

@Yuuki nah those get interrupted pretty frequently. plus football is 15 minute quarters
or maybe a soccer/football thing?
 
@Yuuki I can assure that is categorically false, at least with American Football, and I have a feeling they don't show MLS on the network, but rather on ESPN.
TSN, however, does the same thing with F1
 
@MBraedley Yeah, I was kinda not sure about the 45-minute commercial-free thing having watched one or two games on TV. But I wasn't sure if that had changed recently or something.
 
I can see them showing soccer matches uninterrupted, except for the half, but that assumes they actually show it on NBC proper. There aren't many opportunities to take even a 2 minute commercial break.
 
Installed Egg Inc I will try it
 
3:26 PM
I wish I lived in Canada so I could make more Canada jokes.

Apparently there are way more "evolution " games cc @Ash
 
(And I was mistaken, ESPN is owned by ABC/Disney, not NBC. The point still stands, though.)
 
@MBraedley NBC has an "NBCSports" set of channels
 
user15026
@twobugs yeah, I noticed that. I assume they will all be pretty similar

Q: Can I play with a controller?

ManoCan I play this game with a controller? For example a xbox 360 or steam controller?

Q: What is the blue liquid in SteamWorld Heist?

AdamIn the later phase of the game there is often a blue liquid falling from the tubes in the ceiling. Some enemies have gun which fires this liquid. It always stays on the floor. Does this liquid has any effect on steambots? What is it's purpose in the game?

 
3:38 PM
@Lazers2.0 needs retag
@Lazers2.0 needs steam and pc tags removed (im mobile)
 
@Lazers2.0 Is it really Golf With Your Friends and not Golf With Friends?
 
@arda did that before it was even posted =p
 
@MBraedley Yep.
 
who owns espn nowadays?

3:42 PM
Egg Inc is pretty amazing
 
@MBraedley ah sorry didnt read that properly
ESPN's coverage of Snooker is spectacularly bad
i mean, fair enough it's not a big game in america
but still you expect the commentators to at least know how the basic scoring works
 
@sequoiad Because snooker (and all billiards, for that matter) is too niche for viewers to care about.
 
@sequoiad this is america, bruh
 
@MBraedley Noooooooooooooooh
Snooker is something I can actually tolerate watching
As well as darts
 
Oh, don't get me wrong, I enjoy 9-ball matches on TV (because I don't fully understand snooker, and 8-ball is rarely played).
But there simply aren't enough viewers in the US for snooker to be truly viable.
 
3:45 PM
i thought 8 ball was a drug thing
 
they got some old 9-ball pool guys to do the commentary, and it was obvious they'd never bothered to look up the rules beforehand
 
@sequoiad Well let's be honest, the rules of 9-ball are much simpler than snooker.
 
@MBraedley easily
9-ball tables have to be the easiest tables to actually pot balls on as well, I've played on american, english and snooker tables
 
@sequoiad 9-ball uses a standard table. It's only easier than 8-ball because there are fewer balls on the table.
 
This is so weird.
 
3:48 PM
pocket size relative to ball size is much greater, and the angled jaws (compared to rounded) pull in shots that would bounce out
 
PayPal and Stripe seems to be blocking my debit card - but only if I'm trying to donate money to charity
 
@MBraedley 9-ball is so much fun
 
@MBraedley english 8-ball is a very different game and table
 
@sequoiad I have no experience with the english rules and table.
 
and snooker tables are huge, like 12 x 6 foot compared to the normal american pool 9 x 4.5 or 8 x 4
 
3:51 PM
@sequoiad I knew that
 
pockets are very different as well
 
Hmmm. Donating to a local charity worked.
Might be a fraud prevention thing.

@TimStone None of us is as dumb as all of us
 
@twobugs Wrathion

Wrathion is still around.
 
@TimStone and how does that work exactly?
 
Dammit Blizz >_<
resolve that plot point already!
 
Wrathion is Deathwings kid right? Gave you your cape in Pandas?
I can't keep some of the dragon names straight
 
3:59 PM
@SonofaSailor yep.
they've had this "Is he good? Is he bad? Nobody knows!" thing going since Cata
 
@TimStone are they excluding britain's medals? cc @fredley
 
I wonder if they included Great Britain. :V
cc @fredley @Ronan
 
um, we havn't actually left yet.
 
I think I made a recruiter mad at me.
 
@Wipqozn inb4
 
@fredley lolololol
@sequoiad You will, though
and then...CHAOS
 
@Wipqozn more like brexited in the brexited in the brexit, a chuck tingle tale
 
ill brexit all of you in a minute, right in the medal table!
wait
that makes no sense
whatever
you heard
 
The moral of the story is that @fredley d- wait, you rep is 1234
I hope someone less lazy than me takes a screenshot of that
 
4:17 PM
> The first step to solving a recurrence is to guess the answer
Well that's reassuring
Oh god, this is actually formalized.
> You do need some sort of oracle for this method
So to get the answer you must already have the answer (or at least a part of it)
 
@sequoiad In theory, yes
He was basically discarded during Warlords though
 
The lore of Warcraft is mostly just a series of people holding progressively larger axes and hammers.
 
No there are some staves too
 
4:33 PM
And there's that one guy with the sword that talked to him. He liked ice.
But it's mostly just progressively bigger and bigger hammers and axes.
And then there was time travel to go back to when there was smaller axes and hammers.
You build a fort there and try to stop certain hammers and axes.
 
@twobugs So, how do I set up refer-a-friend? I might do one month just to get characters to L100.
 
@Yuuki I would refer you and then we exploit the event
Remind me when I get home if you're interested
 
I'm wondering if that works considering that I apparently already own Warlords of Draenor (despite having never purchased it) and I'm only out of game time.
 
If you own the base game it includes WoD
You have that weird double account thing going though, might be tricky

Q: Moreki dead, staff of Magnus lost, Xbox 360?

MikeI searched labyrinthian a long time ago and killed Moreki but apparently I lost the staff and mask. I searched my houses and my inventory but it's not there. I checked the shopkeepers too. I'm on Xbox 360, so I can't use console commands either. I need the staff to finish the college of winterhol...

 
Yeah. I'm wondering whether refer-a-friend will work if I already own the base game. Supposedly.
 
It's completely plagiarized from the Steam store page.
 
user4704
Why not?
 
user4704
Oh.
 
Tag wikis shouldn't describe the game, they should describe how to use the tag.
 
user4704
4:39 PM
@Yuuki I feel like a lot of the tags on Arqade that I've seen that are games are essentially broad descriptions of the game though. That one maybe a little more than most, but you still have things like
 
user4704
"A fantasy action RPG from 2011 by Bethesda Game Studios. It is the fifth game from the main line of the "Elder Scrolls" series." and "Mojang's exploration and survival based sandbox game in almost endless, procedurally generated worlds." and "Blizzard's 2012 hack-and-slash dark fantasy/horror action RPG is the third release in the Diablo series, and a sequel to Diablo II in both story and style."
 
Yeah, I'm not comfortable with those tag wikis, tbh.
 
@Yuuki In most cases I think it's okay, because the use of the tag is unambiguous, and having a short intro to the game will reassure people asking the question that, yes, this is indeed the Skyrim you're looking for
 
@JoshPetrie excerpts are there to confirm that you are using the tag for the right game, aren't they?
I guess the diablo-3 reads a little too much like an ad.
The other excerpts look fine to me.
 
user4704
@badp I guess? I don't really participate enough here to really know for sure, it's just a feeling I've had. I'd probably have approved that edit too, unless I'd happened to try searching Google or whatever for the actual text to see if it was a copy-paste. Which I don't actually do as often as I probably should.
 
4:44 PM
I just google all tag wiki edits
 
@twobugs Generally have to, or this is exactly what we end up with.

Hmmm, for this project should we keep two or more long running branches that map to different level of stability and have production pull from the most stable branch, or just tag certain points on the master branch as releases and push them to production?
 
Curse you @Wipqozn, I'm installing deus ex GOTY
 
4:54 PM
@PrivatePansy Well, I'm literally the last person you should ask this but what would be the reasons against the latter?
 
I don't honestly know, my friend recommends the former
 
Well, ask him what would be the downsides of either choice.
And let me know as well.
 
What I've seen in some projects eg. Laravel is branches are for major releases (5.1, 5.2, etc.) and tags are for minor releases
And the dev branch which contains the unstable code for the next version
But that's a library/framework, which has a somewhat different development methodology than a product that is undergoing rapid development (pre-1.0)
 
We cut release branches from master after the initial release, because you have to have it for patch releases after the fact
 
The project I'm working on uses branches for minor versions (1.0, 1.1), tags for patch versions (1.0.1, 1.1.0), and master for development
 
4:58 PM
And consider master "deployable" at all times, merging from previously-tested branches
But deployable is different than releasable, usually, due to requirements and such
 
Hahaha, "However, some 3D card drivers must be updated in order to work reliably with Deus Ex's leading-edge 3D features."
That's adorable deus ex
 
@Yuuki I don't believe it will. I referred myself this past weekend and I had to add a new WoW account to my Bnet account. To do RaF you'll have to start over with a new account. I tried to exploit invasions leveling but it ended up failed when I found out that to get the RaF bonus XP, the toons need to be within 4 levels of each other.
 
I don't see what would be the problem with invasions?
 
Hmm. Well, it's a web app, so there will only he one version of the code base that need to be maintained
 
@KevinvanderVelden You're welcome
cc @Yuuki you need to do that too if you haven't played the original Deus Ex
 
5:05 PM
Also apparently my internet speed is faster than I thought? ~26 MB/s sustained
 
@KevinvanderVelden How many bauds is that?
 
I have no idea
 
7 bands
 
Damn you autocorrect for ruining the joke
 
@PrivatePansy multiply by 8*1024*1024
 
5:09 PM
@twobugs I was running a fresh toon on my main account in a group with a toon from the RaF account, which was on starter edition. Using follow I ran them around the invasions in heirlooms and hit level 20 within an hour, at which point the starter account stopped earning XP. The level disparity grew too great for my main account to keep getting bonus XP. If I wanted to do all the way I would've had to buy the base edition of WoW + at least a month of sub time
 
Oh I see, heirloom mismatch
No wait, the starter edition thing. Okay
Well what I am think is Yuuki and I both playing with full accounts, no heirlooms
So there would be no 20 cap
 
ugh, I want Deus Ex to be out now
 
That would work, assuming Yuuki is cool with making a new account. He could still access his heirlooms and mounts since those are Bnet account bound but he wouldn't have any of his old toons or the gold they had
 
@Wipqozn I'm just glad I got done preloading before you
 
If invasions were going to last longer I would probably upgrade my RaF account and power level a couple of toons but with only a week left it doesn't seem worth it
 
5:19 PM
@SonofaSailor I had an account waaaaay back in WotLK and I don't even remember if I ever linked it to the new B.net account system.
And honestly at this point, I don't really care that much.
Maybe about the achievements, but not really.
 
@twobugs please play system shock 2 and please ping me when you do because it is the best of the best of the best games.
 
It's possible that I did link the account and that's why I have the base game registered.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Ok I will :)
 
Also play it in a dark room at night. And maybe at some point, take a short break and turn off your monitor so you are in total darkness and listen to this:
(It's called The Frankie Teardrop Challenge! Everyone should take it!)
And with that, I return to spending time with the Bears. Later all.
 
@Yuuki Go for the RaF then. As long as @twobugs refers you with a different email than the one you used for the previous account you should be good. When you click the referral link it'll let you add a new WoW account to your Bnet account and you'll be good to go. Just make sure when you buy sub time you're buying it for the right account. You'll see something like WoW1 and WoW2 on your account page
 
5:24 PM
I already see WoW1 and WoW2. I wonder if I can get a WoW3.
 
7 days to go sigh
 
What? Naah deus ex is tomorrow
 
And then I can start leveling
Only ever played the original Deus Ex
 
You should be able to Yuuki. I think the limit is like 20 accounts
 
The other ones just didn't interest me
 
5:29 PM
@sequoiad Human Revolution is a worthy successor IMO
Let's not talk about IW

Q: Are there any bonus' for uploading all data for a Star System?

WondercricketPer this question, it goes to say that you will receive bonus units for uploading all of the information on a planet. As the title says, are there any additional bonuses for uploading all information for a Star System?

 
@SonofaSailor I just don't want to have to buy the full game again if I already have the game.
 
@Yuuki tbf it is only like 10 quid for everything up to WoD
+a month game time I believe
 
but noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
 
5:35 PM
You will have to rebuy the game for your new WoW account if you want to do RaF
 
that message was from a while ago, I just got pulled away before I could send
@TimStone I'll probably get to play it before you though
 
But the Battlechest is $20 and gets you a month of game time and all the xpacs except Legion
 
@SonofaSailor slightly more expensive in $, interesting
 
@sequoiad #BlameBrexit
 
@Yuuki can't, we get it cheaper than you :P
 
5:42 PM
@Lazers2.0 Thank you @editor. That was killing me.
 
@Wipqozn I dunno
 
@TimStone Are you taking tomorrow off work? If not, I'll likely be home before you, seeing as I'll be getting off at 3pm Wipqozn time.
inb4 you take tomorrow off just to beat me
 
I work from hoooooooooooooooooome
 
which is an action I could respect
@TimStone I think I knew this
 
Except on some days. But that exception is not tomorrow
 
5:45 PM
Still, fgosh darn it
That means you CAN play it before m,e
 
watching the news town flooded. Me: poor people... news: and now we talk to a local resident posh old woman blames gay marriage aaand there goes my sympathy.
 
I hope I get to play it before @Sterno at least
 
For her at least
 
@Yuuki I think that's where @Frank lives.
 
@Wipqozn 'tis, indeed.
 
5:50 PM
@Frank I remember where you live because I I know you don't live in Alberta, and also don't live in the same province as @JasonBerkan (who lives in Saskatchewan)
 
@Wipqozn I was just trying to reconcile in my head that "No, Edmonton and Calgary aren't in Manitoba with Winnipeg, but then where are they?" so thank you for reminding me that Alberta exists.
 
@StrixVaria You're welcome
Manitoba is the province I always forget about
 
I forget about all the provinces that don't directly border the US.
 
See Saskatchwan is Corner Gas, Alberta is Oil, so what's Manitoba?
 
(Excluding Alaska, I have no idea what that one up there is called.)
 
5:53 PM
@StrixVaria Alberta borders the USA as well
 
@Wipqozn But I knew it existed, I just couldn't remember its name.
 
ah oaky
 
I could probably have remembered it given enough time.
I would never have remembered "Yukon" without that map.
 
If only Canada were real, I might be able to remember provinces
 
Most of our provinces border the US
 
5:54 PM
I forgot about New Brunswick, though, and that borders the US, so I guess my theory is flawed.
New Brunswick is a city in New Jersey, as far as I know.
 
PEI, Nova SCotia, and Newfoundland are the only provinces that don't
There's also two territories that don't, aka pretend provinces
 
So, (shockingly, I know), that 12-year old running Trump's campaign office is or is being manipulated into being pretty much as you'd expect

Q: Does Ana's ult carry over to an ejecting DVa?

DaaaahWhooshYesterday I was playing a game as Zarya. There was an Ana on our team, and though I was consistently the last one left alive in team fights (because Zarya never dies), I never saw the Ana use her ult. We ended up losing the game, at which point I inquired in chat as to whether or not the Ana ult ...

 
@TimStone Our definitions of cute seem to be a bit different
 
6:23 PM
I'm slightly worried now that neither release nor dev branch seems to work
 
@MBraedley I mean, comparatively, to a krogran :P
 
The biggest problems with Mass effect 3 were that the female Krogan was not cute and not romanceable

Regardless if you put a character in a modern Bioware game they exist to be romanced
 
@twobugs The obvious solution is that the player should be able to play as a krogan
 
I will allow that

> Hacking is a form of manipulating resources to bring the best to everybody. If you have ever changed or configured a device outside its default status, you have hacked the device. Hacking is better defined as experimenting rather than a destructive outlook as showcased in movies

@arda I disagree. That's a great description to give to a lay-person
 
> Have a turntable in the house? Attach the smartphone to it and let it spin!
 
In some ways, the word usage has changed over time, and people like that guy prefer the older usage.

@Frank sometimes I think that DZone is actually a parody site. Then I realize it's written by Java devs for Java devs, and it all makes sense again.
 
It used to be that "hacking" meant exactly that: experimenting with and modifying devices and code. But now it's almost always used to refer to gaining unauthorized access to other people's systems.
 
except this article uses it to mean "turn off this built-in option"
 
oh are we doing hacking vs cracking pedantry?

Hey, quick question: is any of you able to tell from my profile where I work? and if so, how? Someone in Water Cooler chat told me they were able based on my connected personal accounts
 
Let me check
 
@Nzall Your SO profile? Drop a link
 
it was on that site, so I'm curious
 
You have your irl name on so
Only that
 
6:45 PM
@Nzall your SO account is in your real name, i dunno if that is intentional
inb4d by @arda
 
You can hide communities on your profile settings if you want to keep your name
I recommend changing your picture though
 
I'm not 100% sure if that's intentional. many people say that having a public presence online can help your career
 
@Nzall Hitpoint bvba Tulpenstraat 32a ?
 
@Nzall Usually it's something like a link to a github profile if you don't have anything on SE itself
 
@Serverfrog No, that's the publisher of a magazine I used to read
 
6:48 PM
@Nzall ok, but that image maybee twitter.com/realnzall/status/570983780749590529
 
@Nzall i mean its up to you how much you want to do branding vs a separate identity for work vs personal
 
@GodEmperorDune yup
 
@Serverfrog all that really is is a desk and the magazine I used to read
 
@Nzall mhh.. than something other on your social media profiles. TL;DR ;)
 
Welp, requesting my time off for WoW
Also welp at dev branch being more of a mess than release
 
6:50 PM
@twobugs i thought you were streaming 2 system shock 2 bugz
 
@twobugs I wish I could, but it leaves somewhat of a bad impression if I ask for a day or 2 off work to play a game
especially when still in training
 
@twobugs why would dev branch ever be in better shape than release?
@Nzall they ask for reasons when you take time off?
 
@GodEmperorDune Because our release branch doesn't work
 
@twobugs wat
 
Also I am lying about my vacation reason if anyone asks
 
6:53 PM
release branch should be the most stable of your branches
 
@GodEmperorDune Yes, it should. But building the libraries checked in yields a non working project
 
So what branch is your actual release based on? ;-)
 
@MadScientist GOOD QUESTION
 
What source control do you use?
 
6:54 PM
(I'm assuming your last release is working code, you might want to double-check that)
 
@MadScientist they must cherrypick to branch_release_37_FINAL_3_FORSURE_REALLYFINAL
 
@GodEmperorDune it's less "bad reason" and more "gives the impression you don't like working with them"
 
@GodEmperorDune essays aren't git
 
@arda this is a perfect place for a git gud joke but i am not wording properly today
 
@GodEmperorDune me neither
 
6:56 PM
@Nzall but i thought you were in europe where vacations are mandatory and encouraged
 
Also, this is my first week after a 2 week vacation, and asking one or 2 days off so soon after you've already had 2 weeks of may appear greedy, especialy if you're still in training
 
ah that makes a bit more sense
 
and yes, the 2 weeks vacation were agreed upon in advance, before the training started. We even agreed to suspend the training during those 2 weeks, and during another 3 weeks over the Holidays
 
@Nzall why don't you ask the people who thinks that where you work is visible?
 
Regardless I just lie about vacations in real life. It is a good lifehack
 
6:58 PM
but asking for another couple of days off so soon after having had 2 weeks off gives the wrong impression, I think
@arda I've asked them, but they haven't said yet
 
I got hired during peak and was told that I would get official training after peak ended which was about 1 month and a half from then. i never did get my training
 
@Dragonrage Perfect reason to ask for a raise.
"I'm doing my job, and I didn't even have to get the training"
 
yea, i have an end of the year review coming up i believe, so I will bring it up then
 
Today sucks. Not productive because of annoying code issues

Q: How can the effectiveness chart be used for dual type pokémons?

StochasticallyI've found a type effectiveness chart which lists all the move types (Water, Fire, Earth etc) against all the pokémon types at http://www.pokemongodb.net/2016/04/pokemon-go-types.htm. But I haven't seen any explanation for how to use that information for dual type pokémons. For example, Lapras ...

@MadScientist Oooh fancy
 
ES6 does make a real language out of Javascript

Toots Tielemans has died
 
someone named "Toots" was still alive in 2016?
 
He was 94
he is a famous Belgian jazz musician. He played the opening tune to Sesame Street for 4 decades

@MadScientist Yeah who would have though you could make a real class in JS?
It's a brave new world
 
Well, you could make classes before in JS. Though I never really liked prototype-based inheritance, it is pretty powerful.
