Blog - Stack Exchange: Podcast #51 – The Return of CodingHorror

Alex Miller on August 05, 2013

Welcome to Stack Exchange Podcast #51, with special guest Jeff Atwood and the usual suspects Joel Spolsky, David Fullerton, and Jay Hanlon. Today’s show was brought to you by Pan-American World Airways!

We kick off the discussion with a topic not on the agenda… which is reminiscing about who used to prepare the agenda on the old Joel & Jeff podcasts.

Site Milestones! Spaaaace is now in public beta, so you should check it out. We also closed the India proposal, after much discussion about the possibilities for location-based sites. …

Find out that their spy checking is top notch :/

GnomeSlice

@RedRiderX Hey, Nitrome featured Ripple Dot Zero in their pixel love collection. nitrome.com/games/pixellove/rippledotzero

badp

I just wanted to teach arrogant newbies!

PYROS ARE THE CANCER THAT IS KILLING TF2

and snipers

and heavies

and all the other things too.

I'm not awesome at spy okay? ._.

Sterno

My main fun as spy on 2-fort is dropping off the balcony and backstabbing people rushing the front door

Useful? Not really. Fun? Hell yes.

StrixVaria

@Sterno I think dropping and backstabbing people is more fun in Dishonored.

Ben Brocka

Sterno

2:23 PM

@StrixVaria Probably, but i went all non-lethal in that game.

RedRiderX

@GnomeSlice Hey, good for them.

GnomeSlice

Bubble Tent

Ben Brocka

@StrixVaria Dropstab is very fun. Especially on the tallboys

GnomeSlice

I wonder if it would be cheaper to try and live in one of those than renting a house or apartment.

Sterno

@BenBrocka

The purpose of this project is to explore the changing landscape of Iowa by capturing the essence of its present form in midst of its transitional history from prairie to rural farmland to suburban sprawl

Sold!

GnomeSlice

2:25 PM

Oh shit, it's pressurized, duh.

Dammit.

StrixVaria

@Sterno I killed 3-4 people on my first playthrough, then played through the first 2 levels going out of my way to murder everybody.

@BenBrocka Reminds me of this kid I knew who used to fart into pog containers.

Ben Brocka

@StrixVaria Once you've killed one you might as well just kill all the things

StrixVaria

@BenBrocka I got the low chaos ending even killing a few guys the first time.

I couldn't care less about achievements.

Ben Brocka

Yeah, you can. I just prefer to do a complete non-lethal run instead of a mostly non-lethal one

SaintWacko

@StrixVaria I still have my pogs...

GnomeSlice

2:28 PM

@SaintWacko Me too!

StrixVaria

@BenBrocka I panicked in an early mission and didn't feel like reloading for the 100th time on that section.

Sterno

I like how poisoning the distillery somehow still counts as a non-lethal run.

StrixVaria

Then I murdered someone at the end out of spite.

badp

@Wipqozn Are you sure you know nothing about this kickstarter?

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria My cousin once told me he farted in empty pill bottles and left them around his school.

Ben Brocka

2:29 PM

IMO the game didn't react to your choices very well. There were some subtle "the world's going to shit" stuff when you have high chaos, but it seems very out of character that Samuel is like "hey corvo I'll take you to the island also btw you're a total monster and I'm going to alert the guards"

badp

You've got to plan ahead! Reserve your own birth year-styled obituary on the internet today! (so long as you were born in the days of Web 1.0)

StrixVaria

@BenBrocka I didn't play through all the way with high chaos, but I watched the ending. Does Samuel go from cool old guy to "you monster" without any kind of transition?

Wipqozn

@badp I...what?

Martin Sojka

@Sterno Dropping some guy from a bridge so that he gets run over by an incoming APC? That's totally not the same as killing him either ... according to Obsidian (in Alpha Protocol).

SaintWacko

@MartinSojka Well, I hardly killed anyone in JC2, then

GnomeSlice

2:38 PM

@badp This website is amazing

kickfailure.com/2013/03/29/island_of_equestria

wat

badp

@Wipqozn "British Columbia, Canada"

Ben Brocka

@StrixVaria Samuel's transition was what broke the suspension of disbelief for me. Shit gets grim FAST when you get back to the pub, but Samuel's "fuck you" seems very tacked on. IIRC until you're on the boat he's pretty much "Hi Corvo! Nice day here! Let's get you to the island!" Once you're on the boat he has a somewhat smoother transition into "you monster" but it should have been foreshadowed better

fredley

> If your love one is still alive now is the perfect time to ask the question, what would you like to remembered for? What would you like engraved on your Electric Memorial Candle?

Ben Brocka

Also I'm pretty sure 90% of us just kill Samuel when he does that. I like Samuel but it's hard not to stab him after that.

fredley

@badp This is gold

> Now I know the topic of death can be sensitive to some but the reality is we will all pass away. Some sooner then others.

badp

2:40 PM

I don't think it gets better than the memorial stretch goal

SaintWacko

@fredley I think there will be a lot of candles with "Fuck you. I want a real memorial." engraved on them

GnomeSlice

> Here, “OC” stands for “Original Character”. So for $100 you could have had a pony you designed (probably based on yourself) inserted into the movie as a side-kick to the heros! (Is $100 out of your price range? For $50 you could have had your character speak “an entire conversation” with the heros, or for $10 your character could have appeared in the background!)

badp

Look at it. I mean, look at it.

GnomeSlice

> Nothing says “Professional!” like adding random characters to your movie because somebody gave you a hundred bucks.

fredley

@SaintWacko There will be no candles at all

GnomeSlice

2:41 PM

Hahahahahahahahahahaahahaha

Wipqozn

@BenBrocka Dishonored was a good stealth game, but the story was terrible.

fredley

> Present this kickstarter project to your love one as a gift. Tell them this is how you’re going to keep their memory alive once they've passed away. Then ask them about their favorite photos they would like to be placed within the candle memorial's photo frame. This will make the topic easier to talk about and show them they are truly loved and cared for by you. It may also open the door to more important pre-planning conversation.

Martin Sojka

A pony based on myself. Oh my ...

SaintWacko

@fredley You have ruined my dreams!

Ben Brocka

@badp That project was an amazing mixture of creepy and horribly executed

@Wipqozn I liked the world more than the story. And IMO that's more important than the "story" proper.

@OrigamiRobot I take it you want it but want to save money. Or something.

Aubergine

I need some advice from someone who owns an Xbox360

Ben Brocka

@MartinSojka It does feel a lot like Bethesda. Long loading times, bugs, crashes

SaintWacko

@Aubergine I've got one. don't use it much, but I'll see if I can help

@BenBrocka I've actually had 0 crashes in Skyrim

Ben Brocka

3 second quickload times in a stealth game with lots of "oops, reload" moments is painful

Aubergine

@SaintWacko My company is picking one up for its future fun room, and since I don't own one I am not overly familiar with the catalogue. I need enjoyable sociable games, preferably playable at short intervals.

SaintWacko

2:47 PM

@Aubergine Hmm, don't know much about those games. For that, I'd honestly recommend a Nintendo system

Aubergine

@SaintWacko Duly noted :)

GnomeSlice

@Aubergine Castle Crashers. Halo. Uh.

Aubergine

2:50 PM

Yeah, thought about castle crashers.

GnomeSlice

probably

Aubergine

Then do list them.

It would be most appreciated.

GnomeSlice

badp

@PrivatePansy how'd the parking go?

GnomeSlice

They're ordered mostly from best to least best

Ben Brocka

2:52 PM

@PrivatePansy Hangs up a "1 Days free of civilian casualties" sign

Ben Brocka

@Aubergine also, whatever console you guys get, you need a Bomberman game

I think Wii has the best downloadable bomberman game of this gen though

Oh oh if Monaco is on 360 it's great

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka I don't think it is.

Actually it might be.

IT IS

Monaco can take a little while though

Ben Brocka

3:10 PM

True, most maps are under 20 minutes though

GnomeSlice

I need to update my list

SpeedRunner HD is a good one too

@BenBrocka Have you played Delve Deeper?

Also the best competitive multiplayer game ever is still Quadsmash

Ben Brocka

Q: What is the chance of Skatole to appear at the Shell Game?

In the Arcade room when you play the Shell Game with the beggar there is a chance of him revealing Skatole under one of the Host Skulls when betting. I know when it appears you have a 33% chance of winning (nearly 55% when having Lucky Foot) but the chance of it appearing is not stated anywhere....

4:10 PM

> The idea here, believe it or not, is that instead of selling music on CDs, music stores should sell their music on disposable mp3 players.

badp

eh, it doesn't seem that outlandish to me. Things that can play music CDs are getting increasingly few and far between

going forward it probably makes more sense for physical stores to sell music on a bring-your-own-USB-drive/iPod basis though

Ben Brocka

It's an interesting idea, but it's basically a flash drive that's vastly more expensive for minimal practical use

badp

and if you don't have one, oh boy don't I have some hefty markups!

Ben Brocka

It'd make more sense to develop some sort of system where you download an app and the store can let you test/buy music in store and deliver it right to your device. But at that point why the fuck do you need a store, just use an online store

Grace Note

@badp This I figure is the wiser direction. Less production cost and at this stage almost everyone who cares to listen to music would have a device that is capable.

@BenBrocka How can I chat face to face with my shoppeops if I have this cybernetic wall of the interwebs betwixt us?

badp

4:15 PM

@GraceNote Hangout!!

@GraceNote unless you're catering to the super-high-end vinil audiophile audience; good luck with it.

Grace Note

That sounds exceedingly bothersome to setup for casual shop chitchat.

Ben Brocka

I can't imagine what the recordstore conversations are anymore

"Oh man did you check the new j-Beebs album? Shit was YOLO as hell. I was all like hashtag swag"

Martin Sojka

I liked the kickstarter where they wanted to fly an UAV and drop plant seeds over urban areas of the USA. Or possibly anthrax. Hilarious. I might have made the "anthrax" part up.

badp

@BenBrocka "Sorry" "Pardon" "Would you let me please..." "Thank you" "I just can't reach..."

Awesome!

fbueckert

@Wipqozn Technically, it's a "civic holiday" for August.

Wipqozn

Oh, I might not need to hunt one after all.

I think the only mat I need is the U. Pallium, which I can get from a Veggie Elder via a cosmic ticket.

If I have one, which I might.

Martin Sojka

4:45 PM

@badp Looks fun enough for me. Un-perceptive NPCs, a bit, but then it is in a night club, so presumably it's loud and stinky anyway.

I just wonder why he didn't close the doors behind him (.. and why nobody noticed it being open).

badp

@MartinSojka Let's recap: sneak in room, hold F for five seconds, wait three minutes, hold F for five seconds, wait another minute, hold F for five seconds, walk up stairs, immobilize one person, hold F for five seconds, wait five minutes, hold F for five seconds, wait three minutes, carry four things to window, shoot it, drop things down, just waltz out

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn I can do some hunts.

Martin Sojka

@badp Yep, as I said, needs better NPCs to try and not make it as easy as it were in RL.

badp

(not sure why he didn't jump out the already opened window)

@MartinSojka or they could just reduce the time you spend waiting

There's no justification for that mission being 15 minutes of which 12 are spent doing absolutely nothing in my eyes.

I guess Deus Ex: Human Revolution spoiled me?

fbueckert

@Wipqozn Cosmic tickets are crazy rare.

Wipqozn

4:50 PM

@fbueckert You get them via unity it seems.

I just checked and don't have one.

gamefaqs.com/boards/642342-monster-hunter-3-ultimate/65971593

Martin Sojka

... or they could just use the time for something interesting.

Wipqozn

So Uragaan killings it shall be! but not right now.

Martin Sojka

I don't mind waiting in a video game, but it's better if there's some challenge involved.

fbueckert

@Wipqozn So 100 unity level will do it.

Wipqozn

@fbueckert Yup.

@StrixVaria No, it's @GraceNote's problem where a wasp's abdomen is the size of a wasp. Without some sort of unique identifiers in there, I can only assume it's a wasp within a wasp, all the way down. WASPCEPTION
