@RedRiderX yeah but i pay with pp lol
I don't need the bundle is just something i shouldn't pay for that I want
although I did just move up to fulltime...
 
@GnomeSlice Wait how do you pay for Amazon with paypal o.0
 
you can't?
 
I had to put in my CC
 
maybe I just use my credit card then
oh
i forget I almost never use it
I only use it if absolutely required
 
Same
 
12:12 AM
@Unionhawk yeah that's the one I got
I would've liked mercy or the new dva skin
 
12:32 AM
@GodEmperorDune o
I haven't​ seen the new skins
I got the rein emote which is excellent
Reinhardt x hammer otp
I have yet to win an arcade despite getting a 1deag hog vs tracer and a potg where he just ran off the cliff
I may have missed every hook that hog round but the point is I got the one shot right click
To be fair I haven't played in months
 
So I took all the armor off of my Avalanche on Saturday, while I was packing up to go home.
There's...a lot of extra bits on him.

Q: Is there a bias against self-answered questions?

Steven VascellaroI recently posted and self-answered the question How do I unlock all the characters/stages in Super Smash Bros. 64?. After the question was received negatively, I received a comment which brings up something I've suspected for a while, but could never put into words. Self answering questions ...

If I were a person who drank as a result of things not going my way I would be blacked out right now. This first Stanley Cup Finals game is a fucking nightmare.

@Unionhawk fuck, I'm am crying mess now. This is heartbreaking.
 
@Ash yeah everything about that was awful
i mean its great that people jumped in to help but its so fuct
 
people wouldn't need to if it wasn't for that dickhead in the first place
 
user15026
2:30 AM
@SepiaLazers I accidentally wrote you many words.
 
user15026
@Beedrill who is playing?
 
user15026
I really hope all my meta words made sense.
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune thank you for correcting my spelling, I was on my phone so I miss stuff sometimes
 
2:50 AM
@Ash Yeah, that's pretty much what I was thinking initially.
In that most negative reactions are probably because of the compilation nature of his self-answers.
 
user15026
Yeah, I suspect people are just like "oh no he is stealing info and thus stealing rep"
 
@Yuuki from what i understand that question/answer in particular isn't compilation answer (unless i am missing the 2 N64 questions). if people are downvoting the question because he said he was planning on doing a compilation self answer for something else then that's the wrong use of the votes in my opinion
infact i don't know why the Wii U SSB questions were linked
 
@Memor-X Well, he literally states that this is a compilation question/answer even if he linked Wii U SSB questions.
 
@Yuuki but Wii U SSB is not N64 SSB...right?
i always thought they were totally different games
 
And several of his previous answers have been compilations.
> For those wondering, I asked this question so it could be used to consolidate similar questions
That means that this was intended as (and will be interpreted by other people as) a consolidation/compilation question/answer.
Regardless of whether or not other similar questions for that particular game exist.
Argh, part of me wants to get Disgaea 5 Complete but part of me also knows that I'll never finish the story mode.
And I think I like the characters in Disgaea 4 more than 5.
 
3:02 AM
@Yuuki got it last week. still havn't set up my Switch yet. plan to in the next couple of months because i have a Doctor's appointment and the trip is a 2 hour drive
@Yuuki yeh, the only thing missing is a proper roll for Flonne
i think all Disgaea Games released after 4 should have DLC which adds a separate mini-episode for Fuuka and Desco
 
@Ash crosses "correct an @ash typo" from bucket list
 
@GodEmperorDune That's the white whale.

@Memor-X Best girl is Asagi.
 
@Yuuki Asagi? who is that? obviously some side character who's not important enough to get her own game
@Yuuki is it ok to suggest a movie even if you don't plan to attend the movie night?
 
3:32 AM
@Memor-X Probably not ideal, but no one's stopping you. The only thing that would bug me is if you vote on a movie suggestion with no plans of attending.

Q: Gap in invisible boundaries at gate to cyrodiil in skyrim xbox 360

The Mattbat999I looked on the elder scrolls wikia on the white gold tower page and seen where it said that there is a gap in the world boundaries at the pale pass gate? Does anyone know where this gap is? I have no dlc/mods link: http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/White-Gold_Tower

 
user15026
I hate when you have to restart after a program installs but at least my SSD makes that take like 30 seconds
 
Well. I'm now a witness to an accident.
A van just smashed into a parked car.
 
@Ash ugh I hate it when they require that
most stuff doesn't even need it
 
user15026
@Avery Calibre did and I was in a Skype call so my friend timed it and it took me 57 seconds to restart and then call her back
 
user15026
@Frank O.o
 
Wow, didn't know calibre did that
 
4:12 AM
@Ash I seem to be the only witness.
 
user15026
@Avery I had to update it to latest version so it would work with my Kobo again because the Kobo also updated today
 
user15026
@Frank Lucky you
 
@Frank you're going to blame it on @Wipqozn, right?
 
@Ash i like living on edge, I have the "ignore version" thing ticked
one day I will break the device's internal db but that isn't soon, hopefully
 
user15026
@Avery shrug I like when things work
 
user15026
4:19 AM
and if I don't keep it updated it doesn't work
 
user15026
because as soon as it and Kobo get out of sync on versions, it says nope
 
i'm assuming this is Kobo?
 
user15026
@Memor-X well, yes that's their app
 
user15026
but I have one of their actual e-readers
 
@Memor-X yeah. Kobo is an ereader manifacturer and ebook store, that's their ios app
@Ash yeah, as I said, you can disable the nope-out but yeah, it's risky
todo: use more alternatives in place of "yeah"
 
user15026
4:27 AM
@Avery if by risky you mean "it literally won't work and you can't transfer stuff"
 
user15026
and it's so low impact like it's not one of those programs where I'd think they'd do anything shitty that wouldn't make me want to update
 
@Avery bro, word up, bird up, i concur, seriously,
 
There is an option to force it, but that risks corrupting the library db inside the ereader, that's what I mean as risky.
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune I tried to interpret this as a sentence, not a list of suggestions
 
user15026
@Avery to force what?
 
4:28 AM
Ignore the kobo version and copy anyways
 
user15026
@Avery alright hten
 
Pretty sure some people would freak out if I said that in mobilereads, but I had no problems yet.

It's not the first time this has happened, it's just been a while :P
 
It's happened to me a few times, but I think only when a userscript or something went awol
Not that I've ever let that happen or anything >_> <_<

Q: Battlepass level 1000 reward from steam-market

SHRLYAs level 1000 in battlepass 2017 is replica 1:5 of Aegis. After you make level 1000 you will get item which seems as aegis and it is tradeble on market, this item, I want to know if this item is enough to get replica from Valve or I need to make my own battlepass level 1000?

How do you explain to first year students touching C for the first time after learning Python that this won't work
int n;
scanf("%d", &n);
int arr[n];
I really don't want to start explaining stack and heap memory
 
@PrivatePansy n isn't initialized
wait i misread that
just ask them what happens when n = -1
 
@PrivatePansy C is not python
 
or you can just tell them that the language doesn't support dynamic stuff like that
and yell at them to get off your lawn
 
I mean, I can tell them that, but I don't think they actually understand it
Heck, I didn't until much later
 
7:09 AM
static lang vs dynamic lang should be understandable
 
The funny thing is gcc doesn't complain about this
Which I thought was weird
 
gcc won't prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot with a rocket launcher
behold the majesty of c
 
@GodEmperorDune how much stack space does the compiler need to allocate for int arr[n]... at compile time
@PrivatePansy even with -Wall etc? That's weird
 
@KevinvanderVelden i haven't done c in a decade
 
Just use JavaScript. I don't think JavaScript cares about much of anything.
 
7:18 AM
@KevinvanderVelden Yeah, that's what I said - the size needs to be known to the compiler at compile time
I didn't explain why though
 
@PrivatePansy because the compiler is an ornery old man and its always done thing this way, whippersnapper
 
@KevinvanderVelden Not even with -Wall. I thought it should be easily detectable, but meh
 
Why is hyper-v crap?
 
Or maybe the version of gcc on macOS is really outdated
 
I need to tell it to start a VM, which crashes because network card, wait a minute, then start it again so it actually works
 
7:19 AM
@KevinvanderVelden because it was written by humans?

Q: Is this modder trying to scam me?

Bleachy Turtle I was trying to get a recovery on black ops 2 and the "modder" is asking for my account info is he trying to scam me?

 
@GodEmperorDune Pfff, it's microsoft, they have cash enough to throw at robots
 
@Dragonrage It doesn't care about you shooting yourself with a rocket launcher either
 
Also I originally wrote cache instead of cash, which would also have worked
 
Although for altogether different reasons
 
7:21 AM
@Lazers2.0 i want to VTC this but don't know the reason
 
@PrivatePansy it doesn't care about you shooting it with a rocket launcher
 
"if you have to ask, then yes"
 
To be fair, php also let's you kill it if you want.
 
@Dragonrage @lol_no_error_here();
 
@PrivatePansy Wait, it works, why does it work?
 
7:27 AM
It's a language that dedicated an entire operator to make sure you can shoot yourself in the foot
@KevinvanderVelden No it doesn't... uh
 
It seems to work
It works with 10,000 as n without crashing
What
Let's see if it breaks after calling a function
Heh: C99

Q: Array size at run time without dynamic allocation is allowed?

syazI've been using C++ for a few years, and today I saw some code, but how can this be perfectly legal? int main(int argc, char **argv) { size_t size; cin >> size; int array[size]; for(size_t i = 0; i < size; i++) { array[i] = i; cout << i << endl; } ret...

 
@PrivatePansy you can also jut set the memory limit to 1 and it won't be able to do anything.
 
@Dragonrage Well, the Java VM has a -Mmx flag that does the same thing
 
@GodEmperorDune I'd VTC for illegal content because recovery lobbys are against the terms of service
 
@PrivatePansy my favorite way to break a language is to redefine the single defining feature of it. Like redefining the "(" in lisp
 
7:43 AM
@Dragonrage #define true ( rand() != 1 )
#define while if
 
(set-macro-character #\( (lambda (x y) ()))
 
I wanted to make a #define that would make while run one iteration longer but I don't think that's possible in c
Aaah, you can't do #define < <=
 
8:04 AM
Hmm, this is quite illegible cp !${c,D}* . -v
 
8:38 AM
I like that if you try and do history substitution bullcrap with bash, the bash history will memorize the partially interpolated command, and not the !$ bullcrap
 
8:49 AM
Pretty useful in most cases
 
@fredley This is the good kind of monsters.
 
@fredley -1 not enough crumpets
also crumpets are not biscuit crumble and this tiny bit of my life has been a lie
 
9:06 AM
I'm not sure what Crumpets actually are. I have a suspicion they are some kind of carpet underlay. However they are delicious when soaked in butter, so meh.
 
I just had this picture in my head of posh british people saying "Piffle, Biscuits"
and then just crushing them into dust before diving in

Q: why is this image here?

BRHSMI came across this edit page and it looks to me like there is an image in it that should not be there.

Oh gods, maybe

With Troldhaugen! And Aether Realms.
Troldhaugen is awesome. They did their Summerbreeze show a couple years back in hawaii shirts, and the singer walked on the stage while carrying a selfiestick, and fell right off.
 
Selfie stick, BURN THEM AT THE STAKE
 
11:41 AM
@KevinvanderVelden He fell of a stage, and placed the self-made video of said fall on youtube, that's kinda the best use for them.
Selfiesticks also have a convenient stake for stake burning.
 
@Nzall I was going to say something ridiculous in response, but after seeing the change.org petition I'm worried you'd take me seriously.
 
WHat is going on about FC5?
 
The bad guys are confederates, and people are calling for it to be banned.
 
Oooh! Go Ubisoft!
Now I feel filthy for saying something positive about them.
 
I'd look it up to see if I'm right about that, I haven't actually seen the trailer or anything.
 
11:47 AM
@Ronan It's not like the Germans asked for every single game about a world war to be banned
 
Or any non-white person for the past 16 years.
 
@Arperum but every game about WW2 is heavily censored in german speaking countries.
 
@Jutschge Isn't that mostly the use of swastikas and the like?
 
Isn't holocaust denial a serious crime in Germany? It seems weird that they'd censor something because Nazis are the bad guys in it.
 
Holocaust denial is illegal, but that doesn't really affect games
certain symbols like the swastika are illegal unless used for education, history, art ... And games don't count as art in this respect, or at least it is unclear if they do
 
12:01 PM
@Ronan Actually, not confederates, but fundamentalists Christians
 
I'm all for people in movies, books, video games etc. for starting these kind of conversations because normally it seems so taboo to talk about these things. How else are you going to know or solve a problem unless people talk about it?
I mean I'm going to assume religious cults aren't a big issue in Montana
But if we're okay blanketing groups as "the villains" for media we should be okay as labeling ourselves as such.
 
It's really amazing that people can't separate stuff like "larger group" vs "these assholes in particular"
Good morning! Today's #WordOfTheDay is 'abdicate' http://s.m-w.com/2mC6Tb6 https://t.co/uvdptksnS2
lol Miriam Webster is subtweeting the president again
 
@Unionhawk maybe they're subtweeting about the King of Thailand with that dope crop-top
 
@Unionhawk this seems to be a defining characteristic of the right wing, now that I think about it. Like, whenever there's a terrorist attack they demand that everyone who shares a religion, ethnicity, and/or country of origin with the perpetrators to loudly denounce them and symbolically "cast them out" lest they be tarred with the same brush
And conversely, any attack on (or even just criticism of) someone who shares one of those attributes with them is an attack on all (e.g.) white male christian americans and must be responded to as such
 
@ToxicFrog Yes. Hypocrisy is a given.
 
12:11 PM
@Arperum I'm not sure this is hypocrisy, is the thing. Like, it's internally consistent, just stupid.
 
@Ash The Predators played against the NHL Referees (and the Penguins I guess) last night.
 
@Unionhawk Can't see the quoted tweet, what does it say?
@Beedrill There were some missed calls and poor calls on both sides.
 
@MBraedley They didn't steal a goal from the Penguins and gift one to the Predators though.
 
@ToxicFrog it's the negative things that stand out. (In both cases)
 
Which would have affected the end game because it was tied late.
 
12:13 PM
@Beedrill He was off-side. That's why the challenge process was introduced.
 
@MBraedley First of all it was inconclusive, second of all that rule is the worst challenge-based rule in all of sports. If a goal happens 2 minutes later on a possession that never should have been allowed in the first place then get the call right in the first place.
And I'm done arguing with you.
You are aggravating me again.
The call was literally bullshit and if you don't agree with me you are patently wrong.
Have a good day.
 
@ToxicFrog It's consistent hypocrisy.
 
@ToxicFrog although on the other hand they do consistently identify white attackers as "just one asshole" so idk
 
@Unionhawk right, this is what I mean
They don't differentiate the individual from the demographics of which they are a part
So when one of "them" does something abhorrent they have to report it as a lone crazy who isn't really One Of Them, because they alternative is to accept that they are the bad guys
 
Yes, that's the hypocrite part. If it fits them, they can see the individual, and if it fits them, they don't.
 
12:17 PM
@Arperum oh, I see what you mean
 
They are very consistent in said behavior too.
 
And this case is a "how dare you call me the bad guy"
 
@ToxicFrog to be fair... that's pretty generalizing for right-wing people aswell. As I said in both cases the negative things stand out.
 
@Jutschge yeah, as I noted
 
And it's like "my dude if you're actually a violent white supremacist you are the bad guy"
 
12:19 PM
@Unionhawk @Arperum but that's what I find interesting here -- in this case they aren't seeing the individual, they're seeing these characters as an attack on them as a class
 
There are still a lot of people who are right wing and don't cry out "omg all (insert religion here) are terrorists/bad guys" just because one or a few incidents happened
 
And I mean, the pat answer here is "that's because they actually are violent white supremacists using christian fundamentalism as a justification", and maybe the people complaining all fall into that bucket
But I'd be surprised if they did
And even more surprised if, even if they did, they thought of themselves that way
 
It's true that most racists (that's basically what that generalization is) are right-wing but it's often forgotten that most people with right wing views are not racist.
You just always hear about the extremists.
 
Yeah that's because they have an entire television channel
 
@ToxicFrog I don't know the exact details of the FC case now, but a game that has a bad guy that is very much like them would feel bad. ANd cause a thing of you're depicting us, and we're not bad guys. So it sounds consistent to me.
 
12:25 PM
I find american media pretty weird anyways. It's a huge shitstorm Right-vs-Left.
 
@Jutschge in the US specifically I'm no longer convinced that this is the case; anyone who self-identifies as republican is, at the very least, a-ok hanging around with and supporting racists. In the world at large, yes, point taken.
 
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha holy shit that petition
 
(And I say this because, while racism has been a core plank of the republican party since the 60s, they are now extremely open about it; it's no longer possible to ignore it and say, ok, I'm voting for fiscal conservatism or w/e)
 
Who the fuck capitalises "gamers"
This is literally gold
 
@Unionhawk I like how it purportedly represents all gamers (or at least all American gamers), just like gamergate tried to.
 
12:30 PM
 
@Arperum right, but in what way are they "very much like them"? White? Male? Christian? The first two describe most videogame characters, heroes and villains alike. Is it just that they share a professed religion, even if it's practiced differently? AIUI most Catholics would not, for example, consider crimes comitted by a Protestant to reflect badly on Catholicism.
 
> Us Gamers have had to endure a lot of crap over the last few years. The targeted harassment by the mainstream press through Gamergate
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
 
Like, I'm kind of with Unionhawk's description @here if someone is identifying with these characters and then being upset that they're depicted as the bad guys, maybe they need to have a long, hard look at why they identify with the villains of the piece.
 
But wait there's more
 
(see @also people getting really vocally upset with The Force Awakens because they find it easier to identify with an autonomous soccer ball than with a black or female human)
 
12:33 PM
> the continued rejection of romantic partners when they find out our hobby

You can't make this shit up
 
I don't think that's the problem bro
I don't think that's why you get rejected

Q: Melee takedown games

GiJoeI have been searching for games,preferably open-world,with melee takedown like watch dogs 2,mafia 3... I would like to play games with melee takedowns. Please suggest me,and thanks

 
I mean, I identify with that, but I'm not going to place the blame on game studios.
 
Like these are the kind of people who unironically purchase Kekistan flags but sure, video games caused that for you dude

basically that anyway. I think Germans are generally depicted worse in games.
