Only got it working by adding a heap of third party support :/
 
To be exact 649 cases where that happened.

@fredley Okay, I don't get everyone's problem with the selfie stick. But the selfie arm? Yeah, that's really sad.
 
hallo
 
Ben
Evenin
 
@Ben morning
 
12:30 PM
@Yuuki Yup. It's the worst kind of selfie appendage.
 
Ben
@fredley Better than the selfie leg.
Unsurprisingly popular fit foot fetishists though...
 
@Ben Do you have an avatar?
 
Ben
I do
Facebook dp
You probably have it blocked
 
Oh, ghostery is blocking facebook graph, so I can't see it
It did show up in the ping notification though
 
Ben
it looks something like this
 
12:33 PM
Yisssss
That's doing a 90's game properly
 
Ben
 
@Ben Facebook is blocked at many workplaces.
 
Ben
I wouldn't doubt it
 
... so you shouldn't use Facebook for your avatar
 
Ben
I'm just linked with my facebook
 
12:43 PM
Well there's your problem
 
Ben
Not my poblem
 
@Ben upload image to imgur, set as avatar, great success
 
Ben
Is it a big problem if my avatar doesn't show up..?
If so I can fix it
 
@Ben It more annoying than anything.
 
Ben
oh ok
 
12:45 PM
I can do it for you if you like :)
 
Ben
How's that?
 
great
 
Ben
\o/
 
Now I don't think you're @BenBrocka
 
Ben
Well that would have been fun to know earlier..
Could have had fun with that
 
12:48 PM
Now to make a meta
 
PEOPLE OF THE BRIDGE
WE MUST RISE UP AGAINST OUR MOD OVERLOR...
Oh, wait, I'm a room owner again. Nevermind
 
so: optimalisation status: nothing done yet. Ran into a bug, while fixing said bug I ran into another bug.
now I have to write some weird update statement to retroactively fix faulty data

Q: What was the purpose of the borders on 8bit computers?

Dave MMany of the early 8bit computers had a main screen area and a border as a surround. What was the purpose of the border? Why did the main area not extend to the cover the whole screen?

Q: Flexibility of truck's steering wheel with keyboard

felipe.zknAs I don't have a steering wheel to play Euro Truck, I only use the keyboard. Everytime I change direction, pressing left or right arrow keys, the steering wheel does a fast change of angle, instead of changing it slowly. Can I change this behavior?

Q: Move profiles images to imgur when linking Facebook/Twitter profiles

fredleySo I had a user today whose profile image wasn't loading. It turns the user's profile image was linked to Facebook since they'd signed up using Facebook auth, and the profile image had been pulled over as a link back to Facebook. Ghostery was then blocking the image request since it uses the grap...

 
Ben
Thank you for the response. gonna buy me some batteries. I appreciate your very long but informative post sir — SEBASSZCHAN 51 secs ago
Now that makes me feel fuzzy on the inside
 
@Ben Sadly, that user posted the same comment on every post

Q: Can I use a keyboard on Xbox One in the dashboard?

LiveWireBTOn Xbox 360 and PS4 I can use my keyboard for entering passwords and navigating the dashboard. (Xbox 360 only works with plain USB keyboards, as I found out.) I have been unable to make my keyboards work with the Xbox One yet. What do I need to do?

 
1:17 PM
Time to get downvoted into oblivion...

1:41 PM
Gotta love Amazon
is cheaper than buying the battery pack separately.
Oh, that's because Amazon doesn't sell the battery pack directly themselves any more.

Q: Light inside the truck's cabin

felipe.zknWhen I'm driving at night, the exterior lights are not sufficient to entertain me. I believe that if there was a way to light the cabin and see the steering wheel in action, the game would be more exciting for me. Does the game allow this? If not, does someone know a patch that performs this mod...

Q: When I use fencing for my animals they don't stay in. Minecraft Question

Tate AndersonWhen I put up fencing for my animals they don't stay within the fencing! Gates are closed Nowhere is there an open spacing No answer is wrong here, I need some suggestions on how to keep them in.

 
They do for the Play & Charge kit (although at the moment, a third-party is undercutting them)
 
My analysis has been vindicated verified!
 
@Rapitor Must suck not to get supplies
 
1:53 PM
@fredley yeah, thankfully it was nothing major or desperately needed, but still stucks
 
@Rapitor Yeah, I'm guessing they'd stock up for at least two failed launches worth of supplies before things got critical...
 
2:07 PM
 
@5pike bah
 
Duck Hunt chandelier though...... http://t.co/wwuNrSjJ6h
 
Aren't those zappers?
 
@5pike Yes
 
well that takes me back to Myst
except low-poly
 
2:17 PM
While Duck Hunt wasn't the only zapper game, it was the most well known.
 
@Powerlord I know.

Q: Are Maximum Stats Still Boosted by Weapon Abilities?

Jonathan MeeThere are lots of X +20% weapon/armor abilities. If I have a character who has 255 of stat X, is the weapon/armor bonus still applied?

 
@GnomeSlice obduction.com
 
@fredley Yeah I know
 
2:20 PM
I'm a backer
 
omg battle brothers though
they released in early state today on steam
 
borken age
 
mount & blade + XCOM
I don't even like games like this and I want it
I couldn't even beat the training mission in the alpha demo.
 
I don't like turn based games

Q: Can Thief steal what you don't see in Zork I?

modchanI'm now going through Zork I (revision 88, Infocom release) and mapping the maze of twisty little passages by dropping various stuff here and there. What is thief tells "Since he steals for pleasure rather than profit and is somewhat sadistic, he only takes things which you have seen", but "thin...

 
2:26 PM
Well you probably won't like Battle Brothers then.
 
... Is that.. It is. We have an answer where someone tries to add a legal exemption clause. How cute.

Q: Does the game keep the last vehicle you drove when you start a mission?

CrubleighI was playing as Michael and found an abandoned police car. I began driving it to Lester when I got a call from Amanda saying to come pick her up in a police car after she was arrested. I got out of my police car and got into her police car and then drove away trying to lose the cops. Upon return...

 
@MadMAxJr It's adorable how some people believe just putting DISCLAIMER absolves you of any possible wrongdoing.
Huh. Apparently TF2 is getting competitive matchmaking.
 
Disclaimer: This and the previous disclaimer is not legally binding in any way.
 
cc @Powerlord @badp
 
@Yuuki That's not a surprise.
 
2:36 PM
Who are the only people here I know who play TF2 regularly.
 
It's been hinted at in the TF2 binaries for a while now.
 
Writing "No copyright infringement intended" under stolen YT content is like stabbing someone while yelling "NO MURDER INTENDED!"
 
NO MODABUSE INTENDED

Ah here we go, I found it
 
2:48 PM
@GnomeSlice Well technically speaking 'no murder intended' is involuntary manslaughter, isn't it?
 
Probably, but that's missing the point of the joke.
 
Yeah, I know

Q: How do I get the 'Returning Player' exclusives in GTA V?

MadMAxJrI have a PS3 copy of GTA V and a PC copy of GTA V. I've read about the bonuses you can get for being a returning player, such as a monster truck, a sub, stock car races, and a railgun. Can I unlock this content with what I have? If so, do I need to do anything special in the Rockstar Social Cl...

2:50 PM
@PrivatePansy O_o
 
I guess playing a solved game over and over again while losing or winning every game can count as psychological horror
 
@PrivatePansy That is almost certainly just to cash in on the people who blindly download every horror game they can find. Probably tons of people just browse that tag.
Although since it's free, not sure where the 'cash in' comes in.
 
@PrivatePansy And it's not like there's that many possibilities to solve for. 9! or something like that.
 
@PrivatePansy Ultimate Tic Tac Toe is a variant that I haven't heard is solved, but probably because it's new enough and no one has bothered.
 
@GnomeSlice No, the tags are community curated.
 
2:53 PM
Although I guess there's a chance this is just a regular tic tac toe game made by people who don't know about the enhanced version.
 
@StrixVaria I know that 4x4x4 is considered solved mathematically, but too computationally intensive for human beings to play without using heuristics
@StrixVaria Isn't there a general proof that solves all tic-tac-toe variants?
 
@fredley MODERATOR NO MODERATING! That works if said three times, right?
 
@PrivatePansy "Ultimate Tic Tac Toe" is a 3x3 grid of tic tac toe boards (for 81 total spaces, but saying it's a 9x9 board is disingenuous because there are rules about where you can play).
 
@MadMAxJr Don't know, ask scifi.se

Dora the explorer is SciFi? :D
 
@StrixVaria So it's not as easy as 9!, but it probably is solved.
Actually, I'm almost positive it's solved already.
 
@MBraedley I'm sure it could be solved, but I don't know if anyone has bothered yet.
 
I dunno. Ultimate Tic Tac Toe doesn't have hats. Not sure it'll have much appeal.
 
@StrixVaria I think there was a web based version I played a while back that, if it wasn't completely solved, was pretty close.
 
Some time between season 1 and season 5, MLP got prettier

Q: Why does saying "Swiper, no swiping!" three times prevent Swiper from swiping?

Doge The ExplorerIn Dora the Explorer, Swiper often tries to swipe an object that Dora and Boots need to reach their destination. If they confront him and say "Swiper, no swiping!" three times before he reaches it, he'll say "Oh, man!" and leave. However, I've seen in some episodes they only manage to say it once...

 
@PrivatePansy Except for that whole incident recently where half of Cloudsdale is probably on fire now.
 
Spoilers no spoiling!
 
@Powerlord oooh! oooh!
> far beyond the capabilities of Tor
orly
> up to 10X your current internet speed
ORLY
 
I would point out some of the problems with it, but that's like taking candy from a broken candy dispenser.
 
3:03 PM
@Powerlord Yeah, some infosec people were laughing about that on Twitter yesterday, good times.
 
> It's as un-hackable as we are going to get in today's world!
 
There are so many buzzwords and trademark stamps on that page.
 
@fredley so it's completely hackable then
 
I almost want to believe this is a lemonade stand kickstarter being run by people in 'NOT NSA' T-shirts.
 
LOLOLOL
pulled off a stun with 1% chance on XCOM
it wont get up will it?
 
3:08 PM
Stuns should last for the battle.
 
> We’ve designed Sever with up to 10TB of SSD Flash memory
what does that even mean?
 
@Chippies It means they sell multiple models. I saw somewhere on The Daily WTF that the base model includes 64MB (yes, MB not GB).
 
gist.github.com/0xabad1dea/633a7ff7f561263bba34 some more about the sever thing (DMZ is talking about it too)
 
@Powerlord I want a magical box that makes my traffic anonymous and increases my internet speed
 
@murgatroid99 It also stops malware!
 
3:11 PM
@Powerlord so not only they have invented a way to be perfectly anonymous, avoid your ISP speed caps, but also fit 10TB of flash memory into a device slightly bigger than a 2.5" drive? Are they like, the leading R&D company in the world?
 
@Arperum and has an app store
 
@murgatroid99 And is open source with propietary software somehow.
 
@murgatroid99 Sadly, we're subject to the laws of reality... stupid reality...
 
PC Master Race got a coat of arms now. :)
 
3:14 PM
@MartinSojka barf
 
@MartinSojka I like the glorious lady pc gamer, hadn't seen that one before
 
@GnomeSlice P2P with dedicated hardware kinda defeats the point.
 
I love how this whole thing has come from one off-hand comment in a youtube video
 
@MartinSojka what does "fortis turris/curris" mean? Google doesn't seem to know
 
@Chippies "Powerful tower" or something to that effect.

Q: GTA 5 PC Memory leak

HasanI am having a legit gta 5 copy, is anyone facing memory leak issue(The condition where you can play gta for 20-30 minutes smoothly then there is framerate drop). If yes have you fixed it anyhow ? I have lastest Nvidia game ready drivers.

 
@MartinSojka Is it bad that I assumed this pic was from from a Zero Punctuation video?
 
@Powerlord The male gamer is definitely Zero Punctuation-esque
 
@MBraedley I meant that I wasn't getting any results for fortis turris, however there are results for turris fortis, which means they fucked up the coat of arms
2
 
@Powerlord Ah, I was trying to figure out why those figures looked familiar!
 
@Powerlord the male gamer was taken from zero punctuation video and made into the official "mascot", I guess you could call it, for pcmasterrace
 
3:23 PM
@Chippies lolololol
 
@Chippies "A Tower of Strength" vs. "Strong Tower"
 
@Chippies I know it was taken directly from one of the videos. I can't remember which one, though.
 
If somebody ever said 'pc master race' to me in person I would slap their shit
 
I assume Devil May Cry or something else with a white-haired protagonist
 
@GnomeSlice that's fuct
 
3:25 PM
Everyone knows Nintendo handhelds are the real master race.
 
 
@Powerlord no, he actually mentioned the glorious pc master race and console peasants
 
somebody is gonna get slapped
 
@Chippies Yeah, well I'm at work and can't look through the list of games videos to try to figure it out.
 
Was it his Skyrim "review" video?
 
3:26 PM
don't remember what the actual video was about though, perhaps something about the constant battles between console users and pc gamers on the internet
@Powerlord I don't actually think it was about a specific game, but I could be wrong
 
@GnomeSlice I would slap anyone who uses it seriously, but I think it's largely a tongue-in-cheek joke at this point.
Specs-wise, PCs will always have the edge over consoles due to their moddability.
 
@Chippies That would make a lot more sense if I hadn't changed it to say videos before you replied.
 
@Yuuki I have a hard time telling whats tongue-in-cheek at this point
 
@Rapitor Always assume stupidity/sarcasm before malice.
 
@Powerlord You don't have to be a smartass
 
3:29 PM
Yes he does. It's in his contract.
 
@GnomeSlice holds up mirror
 
> those dirty console playing peasants don’t ruin it for the glorious PC gaming master race.
talking about "The Witcher"
doesn't have the pc gamer figure yet, I guess that was made later when pc master race had become a thing
now that the mystery is solved - afk
 
@Yuuki I just assume stupidity. I'd slap a man for being stupid.
@Chippies One translates to "strong tower", the other to "a tower of strength". Typically, it'd probably be the second, but it probably doesn't matter.

Q: The Stanley Parable Commitment Achievement, How to get?

CeltaI already did the other 9 achievements and this one is bugging me. I've read that you need to have game open during the duration of a Tuesday, but I was wondering if there is a easy way to do it, since the game is so tricky.

 
4:05 PM
o god diff eq exam
this is going to be painful T_T
RIP IN PEACE @UNIONHAWK
 
Apparently creating and pushing a tag in Github caues TravisCI to do a compile against it.
Which is funny since it was an already existing commit from April 2.

Q: Is it possible to rank down?

msm.oliveiraI know that we need to win 2 of 3 games to rank up, rigth? like form silver 2 to silver 1. Is it possible to rank down? like silver 1 to silver 2? There any matches that we need to win to stay in that rank?

 
@Powerlord that's probably a combination of how their webhook is set up and how GitHub exposes tag creation events
 
4:39 PM
Messenger's last hurrah.
 
4:51 PM
Wait, so there's yet another new free version of Visual Studio?
Visual Studio Code is apparently solely a code editor with no other IDE features. Well, other than Intellisense.

Q: xbox minecraft migrated to tablet possible?

Laurenmy son has xbox 360 with the gamedisc minecraft seperately. he wants to play on his tablet , but i dont know how to retrieve any info regarding pocket version. can he sign in using the info on xbox to play on tablet.

 
Hmm, Windows on Docker
.NET Core previews for Linux and OSX.
 
@Powerlord ooh, really?
 
@murgatroid99 I'm reading the text of this liveblog of Microsoft's BUILD Keynote
I'm just reading from the bottom up of it
 
That's actually something that could be really useful for my team

@GodEmperorDune ERROR: NO U
 
> Microsoft is positioning itself as the anti-fragmentation platform
from the people who invented disk defrag
 
@GodEmperorDune That can't be. Microsoft hasn't ever invented anything. :P
 
5:23 PM
the kayne one
YOU. NOW. HERE. THE.
 
@Powerlord perhaps "who created a product with such terrible fragmentation that a defragmentation tool was required" is better
 
@GodEmperorDune I don't think NTFS is somehow much more prone to fragmentation than other filesystems
I mean, I guess it could be, but there's no real reason to expect that to be the case
The difference is that Microsoft exposed disk defragmentation as a user-facing utility
 
@murgatroid99 i remember reading somewhere that it was much worse than EXT3 and EXT4 wrt fragmentation
hmm, looks like it may have been fud from linux evangelists
 
@GodEmperorDune The other thing is that fragmentation isn't that bad. Sure, it slows down reads and writes, but I don't think that it's by such a significant margin that it matters to a normal desktop user
 
5:32 PM
@murgatroid99 that's fair. where it really sucked was watching movies that were spread out all over the hdd
or with games loading huge texture files
 
@GnomeSlice Huh. I just saw that video for the first time a couple of weeks ago
 
@murgatroid99 We're discussing next year's april fools event on the mod chat for r/listentothis
we're thinking smoke weed remixes
somebody just posted that
hilarious
 
@GnomeSlice you could also be /r/comeonandslam for the day
 
@murgatroid99 we did that this year
we changed the CSS and everything
it was super legit
sub looked like a geocities site
They've still got a button up in the top right to go to comeonandslam as a tribute
 
@GnomeSlice so you are planning for april fools 11 months in advance?
 
5:38 PM
@GodEmperorDune What else are they going to do?
 
pretty much
It's one of the default subs so they have a lot of mods
without much to do most of the time
that's what it looked like this year
 
Looks like the space jam website
 
Yep

@GnomeSlice It's a Harvest Moon thing.
 
I see, I see.
 
@GnomeSlice That's not even what /r/comeonandslam looks like
 
@murgatroid99 Yeah they don't have any special css
 
5:48 PM
Dear Microsoft, I know this is a test thing, but when you name something VSCodeSetup.exe I expect it to launch a setup program and not the program itself
I'm trying to find out if it's possible to make custom language intellisense stuff. The VS Code docs only say that you can't submit them, nothing about not being able to write them
 
@Powerlord What language are you trying to use VS for?
 
@MBraedley Not one that has an editor for an existing VS version.
 
@Powerlord Well that was obvious
 
If you really must know, SourcePawn
All the editors for SourceMod plugins suck
 
I should have figured it was TF2 related

Q: Dota 2 Workshop Content downloading, DLC unticked

user109622Okay, so basically everytime I restart steam or go into this one specific steam account, it always starts to download Workshop Content. DLC unticked, files deleted. As you can see in the image below, my internet speed is slow, so sometimes I have to wait 30 minutes till I can play without lag, it...

 
@Yuuki I do not much care about competitive. Way too stressful.
 
I've looked into writing a Language Service for Visual Studio 2013, but it just seems so overly complicated in existing VS versions
 
Microsoft Edge is the new browser name?! better make an SO tag
 
Hell, I find most TF2 game modes way too stressful for me to play over and over
...and I'm talking about TF2.
 
@Powerlord do you need a full IDE? notepad++ is decent with new languages
 
5:57 PM
@GodEmperorDune Sublime Text destroys notepad++ at basically everything
and still isn't an IDE
 
If you're using Notepad++ perhaps the only thing that might hold you back is the licensing
 
@badp yeah, free vs $70
 
The demo is free forever, it just occasionally nags you
The only feature Notepad++ has that ST3 does not is selecting a token and style it arbitrarily
 
All those missed code ART opportunities
