The Bridge

@MadMAxJr As I understand, Maps engineers have suggested not doing this

lol there's an Instinct gyarados nearby

@murgatroid99 Interesting. Got a link to that? I'd like to know why that's not good.

@taybenlor short answer: no. long answer: nooooo

Actually not a Maps engineer, but associated with Google

Okay then so Plan B: Cover yourself in USB power supplies.

6:02 PM

Ugh that's annoying...

@MadMAxJr Just got a couple of those.

I would also guess that what's using a lot of battery is the constant GPS usage and update requests

This query on this history table isn't showing deleted items

(it should be)

@MadMAxJr doesn't work

(ugh)

6:03 PM

At this rate, I'm going to have an army of Golbats.

The game uses so much battery that the powerbars can't get the percentage higher

fast charging powerbars

duh

Mine did the job just fine yesterday.

@murgatroid99 and 3d and unity BS

6000mAh supply.

6:05 PM

Ingress doesn't use 3d and uses far less battery in my case

pokemon-go discovery! Level cap seems to be 40. gaming.stackexchange.com/a/275748/76693

@arda Ingress is unity.

Ingress has public chat which just makes me sad. I'm happy to have Totally-Not-Ingress-Pokemon drop that feature.

Although I hope we get a master map like ingress/intel

@MadMAxJr I have a similar thing for pokemon around you (uses browser location), pm me on steam if you are interested. Not posting link here because kind of rate limited

6:08 PM

No thanks.

@KazWolfe Honestly, that's not a very convincing argument

@KazWolfe why does it need mah emailz?

@djsmiley2k unsure

@fredley I'm so excited for what will essentially be a non-shit version of Lifehacks

@KazWolfe OK, that is suspicious, but not convincing. If you interpret it as 3 or 4-byte fixed-width numbers, they don't really seem to follow any pattern or correspond to anything in game

Wipqozn

6:15 PM

and htere, followed and have my upvotes @fredley. HAVE ALL MY UPVOTES.

@murgatroid99 They're CP multipliers. I'm still looking at how to interpret that.

@KazWolfe Have you tried decoding it as a repeated packed varint?

@murgatroid99 I have not.

There's also this dump of required EXP, but I see no delimiters.

it doesn't delimit into perfect 4-bytes

@Wipqozn I'm pretty sure we can make it shitty!

though it does delimit into 41 perfect 3-bytes

6:20 PM

It is varints

Wipqozn

@Sterno Well yeah, but unlike Lifehacks it actually has a chance, whereas Lifehacks was doomed from the start, since the very idea made no sense. Also I bet we can make your dad shitty.

The first two numbers, decoded as varints, are 0 and 1000

PPROTOBUFS GRRR

And the next is 3000

@murgatroid99 How are you decoding the varints?

6:21 PM

magic, probably

Q: When does it become necessary to create a new community for a specific game?

i hate protobuf

Sepia Lazers

As many games grow (more specifically, pokemon go) the content of arqade has become mostly pokemon-go based. Should we create a new community for just those games? Or should we wait for the popularity of those games to die down?

discussion

MSB indicates whether it's the last byte in the number, so you drop each MSB, then reverse the resulting 7-bit groups

@KazWolfe It's an efficient data encoding, so it's good for bandwidth

so convert to binary.

badp

6:23 PM

so there are three numbers, and the third is three thousand

@KevinvanderVelden confirmed

@KazWolfe To be clear, I meant that to be "most significant bit"

badp

Pokemans confirmed in @KevinvanderVelden

@badp The first 3 numbers from that blob of binary are 0, 1000, 3000

badp

yes.

@KevinvanderVelden confirmed.

can there please be like a script or something I can use to varint?

Similar to the farm and Wycoon from previous games, Monster Hunter Generations has a "generate items for resource points" feature. In this game it takes the form of a Palico Trader where you can send off your Palicos to trade with other towns, and they come back with items. However, you only star...

There's Poop In My Soup is on sale on Steam for $.69, just in case anyone was curious.

Arperum

@Sterno That's the next thing you're going to annoy people with?

No, that's old

And I assume by "annoy" you mean "give a wonderful gift to"

Kaizerwolf

@Sterno is it as good as Shower with your Dad Simulator?

6:32 PM

@KazWolfe Best guess at the moment: make your own proto file with a single message that just has a repeated uint64 field, then craft the serialized message with that hex dump and decode it.

I play the real life version of that so I don't know
