6:05 PM
I used 1,105 cycles for this one
in that awkward dip in the performance chart, suggesting that cutting another hundred cycles should be trivial
 
Grrr... Formaldehyde is still driving me nuts.
 
What's your reactor organization like @Iszi?
I found it easier to do things backwards, in a way.
 
@failbadp Putting together C&O then adding H.
 
Yeah, I tried that then gave up as well.
yet, rotating twice around the C should do the trick
 
So, do H&C first, then O?
 
6:07 PM
I wonder if my solution could be faster if I just rearranged the reactors... nope
...yep! 1,098 cycles now.
Hardly a life changer though.
1,019 by dropping CH2 earlier!
 
How do spoiler tags work? We have those now, right?
 
@Macha >! Text
 
Thanks
 
er...
that won't be part of the stock game, right?
 
6:24 PM
Finally figured out Formaldehyde
1645 cycles
 
Cool, edited spoiler tags into one of my old posts now.
 
Low end of symbol usage as usual.
 
Cool, I used 46 symbols instead :)
Did you use CH2 or CO for an intermediate result?
 
sigh If you provide a .deb, can you at least also provide a plain archive of the binaries too? Not everyone is using Debian/Ubuntu.
(For the Linux version of Spacechem)
 
@Macha The .deb is nothing else but a plain archive of the binaries with some metadata
 
6:28 PM
It isn't :P There's archives within archives. More effort
Also it's layed out in filesystem format, not ready to install in a folder format.
 
Have you purchased the game, or are you downloading the demo?
 
Demo
 
15$ is a bit more than what I'm comfortable with spending :/
 
@failbadp I think it's a mod.
 
especially because some stuff in world 3 gave me headaches... do I even want to do stuff harder than that?
Some of those reactions seen in youtube videos are plain scary.
 
6:30 PM
Lazy time. Let's run the windows version in wine rather than go copy all these files to the right places.
 
user30
Oh, I bought it.
 
user30
Mostly because I don't think I've bought a game since Christmas.
 
What's limited in the demo?
 
You get the first 3 planets.
it's pretty generous
 
user30
Pretty generous to say I'm still on planet 2.
 
6:48 PM
Hmm, they don't appear to be picking up atoms for me on 1-3
 
@Brant Yeah, I think it stops at the right time for "casual" gamers

Q: Stackexchange Polymath Badge

Brandon Possible Duplicate: Cross-site badges? Figure that it would be cool to recognize a cross-site contribution from members. X rep on X different SE sites would earn you the legendary cross-site Polymath badge. 10k rep on 10 sites? I'm pretty sure that there are no badges implemented on SE...

Q: NFS Hot Pursuit 2010 Offline Photo Mode?

LifeH2OHow to use use photo mode offline in NFS Hot Pursuit 2010?

 
Wow, IdrA just went down.
 
7:13 PM
@Bob @TimStone?
 
I'm already micro-optimising on 2-1 :P
 
7:28 PM
@Brant Yah, idra got shit on.

Q: The Subjectivity Game

PowerlordI don't like having to do this, but we've had a new "hot button" issue pop up. The question deals with the handling of Subjective questions. Specifically, the question Why do people play the same maps over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over...

Q: Exchanging identical weapons in Crysis 2

Drew NoakesIn the Crysis 2 campaign you're given the chance to exchange the weapon you're holding for the same model of weapon whenever you find one. Why is this? Do the weapons wear out, or is there really no point to exchanging, say, one Scarab for another Scarab, for example?

 
@Mechko What did your twitter bot robotweet?
 
I hope it wasn't the big ben twitter account. That bot is awesome.

Q: what triggers class leveling in Dungeon Raid?

Grasa TotalThis question refers to the recent Dungeon Raid update with character classes. I know that "class levels" only come from killing special monsters. But is there a formula for how many special monsters you have to kill to get a trophy? My subjective (i.e. probably wrong) impression is that using B...

 
Looks like we're going to see even more fizz from even less pop!
After 2 years of various states of semi-employment (fuck you Census and rolling 8 week 'temp' jobs), I have a real honest to god job again!!
 
@failbadp Something like that.
(Basically, I'll be around during weekday daytimes much less!)
this whole freelancing shit has been awful.
 
You'd be surprised how easy it is to perfect chatting while working. ;) Congratulations on the job!
 
@TimStone Chatting while working for me would require texting while driving.
A Very Very Very Bad Idea.
 
Ah, in that case it's a no-go. :P
 
8:34 PM
yeah, i'm going to be driving around NYC operating all kinds of super fancy imaging equipment. Should be fun.
 
Facebook's charade of "x will miss you" is frickin creepy http://t.co/h9sOkBi
That's really horrible

Q: Privilege wiki "dollar variables" often refer to the wrong sites

Q: Is call of duty black ops for PC worth buying for multiplayer use

ElementThere are a ton of bad reviews for black ops multiplayer on PC. Many of the reviews make it sound un-playable because of frame jumps, high latency, and performance problems. I know the publisher has acknowledged the problem but has there been any patches or updates released to correct these bugs...

Q: Can anyone list some Windows games that rely on DirectInput Action Mapping for joystick input?

lfzawackiI'd like to find more games that make use of this feature that was introduced in DirectX version 8. Source on the information would also be nice. More about DirectInput can be read here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee418273%28v=vs.85%29.aspx The games I currently know about are: N...

Q: Sidebar modules duplicated

fail badpAs you can see, the sidebar features Meta, then the ad, then the chat ad, then Meta again, then the ad again, then the chat ad again (which fails to load), then finally related questions (once): Props to GnomeSlice for noticing this first.

@GnomeSlice Please reply to Jeff's comment to that question as well
 
user30
@failbadp Ok
 
Hmm, reproduced.
 
user30
On an unrelated note, I should probably turn my speakers down. That nearly gave me a heart attack
 
I can repro on Notepad
I guess it's the only non-beta way to read webpages I have installed on Windows right now :P
 
9:57 PM
@failbadp Hahah, very nice.
 
In other news I just killed with fire
 
BURNINATE!
 
10:35 PM
@oak @Powerlord Please ack on the comments so I can wipe 'em, it's not fair to talk about people who can't reply

@failbadp on the meta-post? You can edit my comment to remove the 2nd part from it
 
11:30 PM
...well, this is a lovely thing to come back to the Community to.
 
@GraceNote It was a surprisingly (indirectly) drama-filled weekend on all fronts for me, I've decided to blame the alignment of the stars or something...Rather unfortunate though. :/
 
I was enjoying playing shopkeeper girl for most of the weekend. This is far more dissonant from that than going to work tomorrow will be.
 
If only everyone had spent their weekend watching TSL instead... sighs
 
downloading most recently release of DF. Let's see what's changed ...
whoops, wanted a tileset with that ...

@balpha We need more posts like that - 'This may be a feature request', 'I appear to require support'
 
anyone else played a version with the new livestock rules?
