3:35 PM
@GnomeSlice no, the internet is killing of a several decades old api
(Where several is 2, which is ancient: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPAPI)
It's still dumb that unity hasn't released a PPAPI (successor to NPAPI) web player
Oh it's experimental aah
 
@KevinvanderVelden There is a WebGL version, but that still seems to be rather buggy and slow from what I heard
 
@MadScientist there's an experimental release of it, yes
But that's not the web player, that's a different build option
 
@GnomeSlice no, gotta be a citizen for that and that requires being a permanent resident for 5+ years. I'm still going for the permanent resident status.
@GnomeSlice they're killing NPAPI plugins, because they're not secure and whatnot. Unity just happens to use NPAPI for its web player
oh, it was already answered :P
 
@Chippies ^^
 
just had my turkey dinner
I didn't have any turkey tho
turkey is lame
salt beef is where it's at
 
3:48 PM
Remember ActiveX? Microsoft is killing that too, after almost 20 years.
 
@alexanderpas wasn't that something only IE used?

Q: Will knocked-out soldiers in dumpsters and toilers ever wake up?

Colonel Thirty TwoIn previous Metal Gear games, I recall that unconscious enemies that are put in lockers would never wake up; they would remain unconscious indefinitely. Is the same still true of enemies in The Phantom Pain? Will enemies put in dumpsters and toilets ever wake up, either on their own or by having...

 
@Chippies Yes, a decade younger and not half as secure as npapi
 
I'm surprised it ever even existed
 
Don't be, it was something they could control
This is from the same period as the halloween documents
 
3:53 PM
but it required people to code stuff that was exclusive to IE, which means hardly anyone could use it, no?
 
No, it meant anyone who used IE (= most businesses) could use it
 
I mean, I guess IE has a pretty high number of users...
 
and Yet, only this year, with the release of Windows 10 and Edge, ActiveX was removed.
 
Microsoft is keeping ActiveX and all that stuff in IE11, but they're removing it in Edge. Which is probably a good compromise for everyone still using something that needs the old stuff
 
Yeah, was just checking that
Fairly sure the ie that shipped with windows 10 (yes of course there's still ie in win10) had it
 
4:00 PM
IE is included when upgrading, but when you install from scratch, it's not installed by default anymore.
 
4:25 PM
So hey, if you guys have nothing better to do, would appreciate comments on the essay I'm writing. docs.google.com/document/d/…
It's a summary and discussion of the themes in R. A. Lafferty's short story, Slow Tuesday Night baenebooks.com/chapters/9781618249203/9781618249203___2.htm
 
The bridge has to defuse a bomb at some point.
 
@RedRiderX I have a oculus rift
 
@KevinvanderVelden :O
 
4:54 PM
We wouldn't need a large party I think.
2-4 is about the right size it seems.
 
And we can hijack the robutt's mumble and drag him into it
 
Ooooh maybe
 
Or, like, message him on steam
Since he's still a Cool Guy who Does Exist
 
Would some people be up for this is a few hours?
I could try it out now to see how it is.
 
If my laptop by itself passes a sound check with no headset I may be in
(where the check is "is there sound y/n")
 
5:07 PM
@RedRiderX were I not at the lake, I'd love to give this a try.
 
to those who are raising their eyebrows, if any: I DIDN'T KNOW
 
@RedRiderX my rift is unfortunately currently on loan
But otherwise sure

Q: OSX FPS run key is toggle instead of press/relase

Feng HuoWhen playing Borderlands and Call of Duty on OSX (running Yosemite), the shift key toggles running, and I have to press it again to stop running instead of simply letting it go. How do I fix this so letting go of shift will cease running?

 
Ugh, my head
 
share a link in a comment on reddit, get a badge... that shit keeps working.
 
looks at starlist so that's what happened
 
5:46 PM
I told you to drink water =p
 
yeah i drank some
apparently not enough
drinking more now

Q: How do I remove elections?

Camouflaged CowIn Tropico 3, how do I remove elections? A major demand for the Loyalists is to remove elections to get them to vote for me.

Q: How do you get more Expedition Ships and what is the total amount in the game?

ReafexusIn the Nether Research Squad shop you start with 3 ships and after finishing a few quests you end up with 5. Are there any more ships that you can get and if so, how many more are there and how do you unlock them?

 
You know you're addicted to the bridge when you can bridge while blacked out
(I have been there too don't worry)
 
Friends don't let friends Bridge drunk
 
6:01 PM
drunk bridge is most fun bridge

Q: My game is bugging out! Weird bug I never seen before!

JimIt was just playing that day. Everything was fine when I was exploring and doing quests. Then one day I was in the ragged Flagon doing a Thieves Guild Job. When I got to the door, the game just repeats what I was doing and part of the screen was more bugged out too! Is there anyway to fix this? ...

 
Did I come here last night? I don't think I did..
my body aches but no hangover :D
 
@GodEmperorDune You probably don't even remember that you and @fredley got engaged.
 
@Wipqozn wat
 
@GodEmperorDune Exactly
 
6:02 PM
and the diamond meat didn't even give me a diamond
 
You were the one that proposed.
 
oh
dammit
 
@fredley and @GodEmperorDune forever <3
 
man my wife is going to be pissed when she finds out i proposed to @fredley
 
6:07 PM
> uhm... Darling. I have to admit something. I proposed to a random internet person.
 
@Wipqozn I believe the correct spelling is '@fredley/@GodEmperorDune'
 
@Arperum random internet porkchop*

Q: Lost all the blue icons on the world map

JerryHow do I get back all the blue icons on the world map for jobs car races missions death matches Can someone please help me. Thank you. Jerry

 
I think this game is going to make for an interesting thanksgiving for my family.
So @Unionhawk and @KevinvanderVelden when would you be able to play today?
 
6:21 PM
For the next hour and a half roughly =p
(Then it's about time for bed over here =p)
 
Ah I see.
We could play for a bit now if you're up for it.
What would be the best way to chat?
Steam?
 
Isn't it like 7:00?
 
It's currently 2022 here
 
What are you, @Wipqozn?
 
6:22 PM
No but I am tired
 
Oh I see
 
@Unionhawk Are you also up for bomb defusal at this moment?
Games are like 3-5 mins
 
Give me a few minutes
 
Sure
 
I also need to download (and buy =p) it
But uuh dutch so internet is fast enough
 
6:24 PM
What game are you talking about?
 
@KevinvanderVelden Only if you want to be the defuser
 
Everybody else reads the manual.
 
@RedRiderX oh meh =p
TOO LATE I already bought it
 
@KevinvanderVelden Hah good we can switch then.
It helps if you've been on both sides.
You can use steam for voice chat right?
 
6:26 PM
I have no idea
I think so
 
Yes.
As I've used it for that already, so that certainly works.
 
I don't know if I have either of you on steam :D (I have arperum though!)
 
Oh I should just be redriderx
 
And I am me
Tempted to change my display name to Me
 
And I am your doom!
Without the space
 
6:28 PM
@Unionhawk That would be fun.
 
Is everyone ready to go?
 
Do you want in @Arperum?
 
@KevinvanderVelden Nah, I'm fine.
Maybe some other time though, it sounds fun, but I'm not in the mood for it right now.
 
Anyone know how to find the difference between an image and its inverse transform in MATLAB?
Trying to figure it out but there's a big problem in that the inverse transform is composed of complex numbers.
 
DAMMIT FILTHWORMS. DROP YOUR GLANDS ALREADY. I'VE WASTED 50+ Adventures on this already. And I'm back to no glands at all.
 
6:43 PM
@Yuuki Inverse laplace?
Or...
 
@Unionhawk Fourier in this case.
 
@Arperum pickpocket?
 
I see, um
 
@GodEmperorDune No can do.
I'm a pastamancer.
 
Bind a Spice Ghost?

Q: Does the original N64 Animal Forest game work with N64 Passport?

MaddyI am desperate to play the original Japanese N64 Animal Crossing/Animal Forest game - sure, I have it emulated on my PC but it's just not the same. Before I go and spend money on a cartridge and passport, does anyone know if it works? I've heard good feedback about the passport but apparently it ...

 
@Yuuki Might try that. I'm currently just living on the healing I get from my vampire thing.
@Yuuki I can't do that yet. Needs level 15 it seems.
 
as a pastamancer you should be healing with cocoon
 
Well, you need to find +items somewhere.
My strategy with the filthworms is to keep one of every gland in reserve until I get the royal guard one.
So I farm until I have two of current level before I tackle the next one.
 
7:01 PM
Ok, and now it starts "raining" glands. Typical. I got a royal guard one I've been in the third room for a total of 24 turns.
 
I want @GodEmperorDune to be drunk while @GnomeSlice is on the busty

Q: Space Engineers Building Angles

CodeCamperIs there a way to re-position blocks or place blocks in hard to reach places? Specifically in reference to the build a space ship tutorial I am having a problem with placing blocks on top and underneath because of the angles or hitting the floor.

Q: Is there a way to detect what a player has said in chat?

Jordan RamirezFor my server I'm trying to find a way for players to type a custom command, via command blocks, ex: /spawn would teleport the player to the world spawn. Going through the internet and I have not found a way to detect what has been said in chat. I did found one alternative using scoreboards but t...

 
ok, so 8 adventures left tomorrow to finish the third subquest for the war, then I can go smack some fratboys.

@Unionhawk Learn to Morse.
 
8:06 PM
@Arperum I Morse bad :(
I Morse like a Moose, frankly.
 
So do I. I recognize it, but can't read it. I should fix that.
 
I wanted to like the game, then it morsed
if morse_code in game.mechanics:
  self.interest[game] = 0
or I guess I should be getting in the perl mood. Something like %interest{$_} = 0 if(/morsecode/)? or worse? probably something worse.
 
That sounds like a terrible mood to be getting into
The worst though is the one with all the words
Like, there is ' ' and 'blank' as two distinct options
and "your", "you're", "ur", and "you are" as distinct options
 
It's very Who's on First.
 
They should include as a warning "have fun communicating this verbally, asshole" on that page because seriously
 
8:16 PM
I think they do...
> This contraption is like something out of a sketch comedy routine, which might be funny if it wasn't connected to a bomb
The manual does a pretty good job of keeping it dry.

Q: Dragon age Inquisition not responding with controller?

All fine and dandy on other games but the moment I switch to controller on dragon age inquisition now, the game cr...

 
Holy crap the complicated wires
What the fuck
Also: only Vechs could possibly do a Minecraft let's play with lava oceans and such
And be like "this is fine, this is home"
Also... Yes
nod
 
8:35 PM
Yes
Bed
Bye!
More bridge people should join in the bomb defusing next time! It was fun
 
@Unionhawk I didn't know Venn Diagrams could be so complex.
@KevinvanderVelden Good night!
Yeah we need more password crackers and Morse code readers.
 
Aside from that, you're the only one with the thing
 
@Unionhawk The game?
 
@KevinvanderVelden Oh I heard about that game
 
:24645915 Quite.
 
8:37 PM
How is it?
 
Quite fun but very frantic.
 
Haha
 
But we need to study morse code before we can get much farther.
 
Oh so that explains the sudden morse code
 
Indeed
 
9:03 PM
Can anyone recommend any really good mobile games? As in, not games where you just wait like Fallout Shelter or CoC. Also, no Final Fantasy, but idk really good games, can be rpgs. Preferably playable with one hand since I mainly play during plasma donation. Or some good shmup without pay to win.
android only
 
@scorcher24 If @GnomeSlice were around, I'm sure he'd suggest Triple Town, but I don't play it so I don't know how it stacks up to what you're looking for
Replica Island is an old platformer I enjoyed, but definitely not playable with one hand
 
platformers arent really up my alley. Its really hard to get through all that bullshit that is on google play in terms of waiting games where you collect canadough (reference intended)
 
that moment when you look at the Super user homepage and realize that, if this site was in beta, it probably would get shuttered
 
Even Fallout Shelter is basically just canadough collecting
 
@scorcher24 Yeah finding a game that is free but isn't centered around micro-transactions is really hard these days
 
9:07 PM
does not have to be free, I can put down a few bucks if its worth it
 
If you're looking for one-handed non-garbage mobile entertainment... ebooks?

just not gonna pay 15$ for a game I can have on steam too
aka Final Fantasy
 
or 10,000,000/you have to build a boat
those are fun too
 
Ooh, have you tried Hearthstone?
 
Yeah I play it on PC
 
9:08 PM
yes you can have them on Steam but the finger controls are genuinely so much better
 
Maybe get the app for HS?
 
Only game I have right now that is not garbage is Gems of War. It is freemium, but really no IAP necessary. But still only 3 match. I play 1-2 matches and then quit
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I will have you know that pumpking is by far the most expensive beer I have ever purchased retail
Actually no it's on par
But I am expecting great things. Don't disappoint me
 
@scorcher24 One More Line is a good pooping game
 
pooping game?

Q: Sound doesn't work in Call of Juarez Gunslinger, under wine

someonewithpcI have played this game on Windows before but felt like replaying it, except I now use Xubuntu as my main OS. I got the game to run and even the cutscenes (install windows media player 10 with winetricks) but sound just won't work. Does anyone know of a fix?

 
@scorcher24 Why would you play a game on your mobile if you're not pooping?
 
Why would you play a 3ds when not pooping?
 
@scorcher24 No idea, I don't own one
 
I am just looking for something with substance, but I guess would really need to start buying the Final Fantasy Games for that.. I want to treat my tablet more like a 3ds, not just a 5 minute device. Maybe I should install emulators
 
@scorcher24 king of dragon pass
Yeah you can get it on steam/gog but it's super ideal for mobile
@Unionhawk oh sweet summer child. Trust me, if you follow my path, it will not hold that title for long.
 
9:30 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Looks good judging from the screenshots. I'll add it to my wishlist and check it out when I get a chance :)
I also have Dragon Quest I on there, never played it. But friends said its good
 
It's a classic
 
Noted: if I want to have money, don't listen to the puppet
 
If you've got FF nostalgia, Record Keeper is great, but it's a more conventional stamina based freemium model.
 
I never had a NES/SNES when I was a Kid, had a C64
 
Also that's 3 purchases including alcohol in a row where they bypassed age verification for me. So apparently I look old.
Well, my fridge is well stocked

Q: Is it possible to have more than one provisioning effect active at the same time?

deutschZuidI just started out my journey in ESO. It seems that only one food/tonic effect can be active at the same time. Does this change later? If yes, how do I increase the number of effects active on me at any one time?

 
11:30 PM
Whoo, I can Fulton tanks in two minutes!
 
So...does anyone have a new incremental for me to play?
 
@Unionhawk yeah the rumpkin that led to a fun evening last night cost something like $15 for a single 12 oz bottle
 
@MBraedley This will do for now.
