@WorldEngineer I'm writing a Node.js addon in C++ that wraps a C library. I'm using mocha to test, and as of some recent change any test failure causes it to hang
 
user20683
@murgatroid99 is mocha up to date?
 
@WorldEngineer I downloaded it within the last week, so I expect so
@WorldEngineer npm update -g mocha does nothing, so yes
 
@JasonBerkan Now I feel so much better.
 
user15026
So much raaaaain

@rpiawesomeness I am making banana bread
 
12:11 AM
am I doing something wrong, or does the humble bundle store not accept the same forms of payment as the charity bundles?
 
@MattGiltaji Which method are you trying to use?
 
google wallet :S
 
@MattGiltaji Doesn't look like it's supported. :/
@Wipqozn Haha, I clear my browser history all the time.

@GnomeSlice i figured as much, thanks for the validation
 
12:16 AM
 
@AshleyNunn Oh good, that probably means they don't have my password.
 
@AshleyNunn This actually reminds me that we should flood phishing attempts with invalid data just to corrupt the data set.
(Rather than ignore it if we're reasonable, and fall for it if we're less savvy.)
 
@FEichinger The problem is the attacker is probably automated, so your proposal will also be need to be, otherwise the cost to you will make it uneconomical to pursue
 
@PrivatePansy Assuming everyone contacted submits some data (regardless of correctness, preferably incorrect) it devalues the entire set.
The attacker almost always is rate-limited in some way, and can't fully automate the process.
And by making the entire set larger, padding it with crap, we buy time.
Compare a set that's 95% crap to a set that's 80% real, because only the people who fell for it gave their actual info.
It's the whole intentionally-misspelt-spam thing again.
 
HI CHAT.
 
12:31 AM
HI @LESSPOP_MOREFIZZ
 
@GnomeSlice This does not surprise me.
 
@GnomeSlice would've been 10 years ago or maybe for consoles

12:38 AM
@Chippies How does time make it a worse idea
Also does anybody know anything about the Steam console
 
@Chippies It's an online game that shows you everyone's screens
 
@murgatroid99 does it? I vaguely skipped over an article about this a while ago and I thought it was local only
I'm probably wrong
 
@Chippies that would be dumb. Nobody plays split-screen PC shooter games
 
but being online, the whole splitscreen thing seems silly once more
 
Might just be lacking netcode currently.
 
12:41 AM
@Chippies The whole point is that you can only see where other people are from their point of view. Which makes it difficult to shoot them
 
@murgatroid99 yeah, I understand that's the idea
I just can't see it being much fun without actual "screen cheating"
with people in the same room
seems gimmicky when you screen cheat someone that's not even in the same building
but it's probably more fun than I imagine
 
> Four player split-screen local multiplayer, or four player split-screen online multiplayer
If you have a living room PC, it's all good.
 
It needs to have a full-second-person gamemode, where you have five players but not your own view.
 
@murgatroid99 I swear people made a game out of 'Stream Sniping' for some crazy reason :D
 
@FEichinger But then you'd never know where you are
 
12:48 AM
@murgatroid99 But that's the whole point of second person games!
 
@Chippies I'm pretty sure it's intended to be played locally
 
@FEichinger I mean actually never. Everyone's invisible. Unlike in other second person games
 
Yes! Which makes this all the more fun.
 
@GnomeSlice which, again, isn't a very popular choice for PC gamers today
 
You'd have to rely on shooting at random, trying to hit something and maybe figuring out where you are.
 
12:50 AM
@Chippies That doesn't make it a bad game
 
It'd be awesome. Gimmicky and not sustainable whatsoever, but awesome.
 
@GnomeSlice it's not a bad game, it just has a very limited audience
@FEichinger maybe have your bullets make noise and a visual cue on hit
 
@FEichinger That sounds like a game that I could play for a maximum of 3 seconds. You would have to fire, then check all 4 screens simultaneously to determine whether any of them also fired, then if none of them did, see if anything on screen fired, then you might know your position. That sounds absolutely awful.
 
@murgatroid99 Think about it this way: You're pissed drunk with four friends. This kind of game mode? Hell yes.
 
And since everyone's doing that, the second conditional is always false and you skip the rest of it
 
12:53 AM
would be neat to have a proper "second person view" game, where you can only see everyone else's screens, but not your own (and people are visible)
on small maps it would be pretty decent
 
@FEichinger I think you have described the worst possible shooter game
 
all you would have to do to is shake your view around like balls
 
@FEichinger sounds like you'd have to be so drunk you may as well stare at the wall and receive same amount of entertainment
 
everybody knows Gang Beasts is the best drunk party game anyway
 
I mean, I know, I wouldn't play it for more than fifteen to thirty minutes either, but it would be hilarious.
 
12:56 AM
@FEichinger it seems hilarious. It wouldn't be hilarious.
if everyone's invisible, there's literally no gameplay
you're just randomly shooting at stuff
 
@FEichinger If you could somehow get people to actually play the game, it might be amusing to watch 5 people wander randomly and not hit anything for 15 minutes

Q: My mouse doesnt show up when I play games!

AmberWhen I play any kind of computer game my mouse doesn't show up. I can still click on things, I just have to spend forever searching the whole screen because I can't see it. This is a recent problem, it used to work fine. This is a problem with the mouse pad, wireless mouse, and corded mouse (I've...

 
The only reason Screencheat is playable is that you have a useful point of reference

@LessPop_MoreFizz Oooh awesome, thanks.
 
1:54 AM
some assclown in an SUV splashed the shit out of me on the sidewalk like right outside my place
I gave him the finger
 
That's the spirit!
Spoken like a true American.
 
You know, when that happens here I don't blame the driver; I blame the poor drainage
 
@FAE it's a great clip.
Mainly because Gags does a great batman voice.
 
2:09 AM
Does anyone know any good keyboard-based web games? I'm sick of playing 2048
 
HALLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOO
 
Keyboard based?
Vim adventures?
 
user15026
@murgatroid99 Kongregate has a bunch, there should be a keyboard-only tag
 
Ah yeah, Kongregate
Almost all of them require Flash or Unity though
 
Well yeah, they're browser games.
 
user15026
 
2048 isn't
 
user15026
He said web games, so I figured that counted.
 
@AshleyNunn Yeah, this looks good
 
@murgatroid99 I recommend Lexicopolis
CC @AshleyNunn If I haven't shown you this before
Needs flash though
@murgatroid99 Make No Wonder
@murgatroid99 Ripple Dot Zero
@murgatroid99 Luftrauser
@murgatroid99 Snowball
@murgatroid99 Fight Code
 
@GnomeSlice I think he's got what he's looking for.
 
2:17 AM
he asked for more than one
 
@GnomeSlice And he got a list. :P
 
I'm trying to find a particular one in my bookmarks but I keep finding other good ones
@murgatroid99 Babbit
Hello Run (HTML 5)
K I give up I can't find it
No One Has To Die isn't it, but everybody should play that
@murgatroid99 Javascript Threes
AHA
There we go
Okay I'm done
 
2:35 AM
@GnomeSlice thank you. That wasted as much time as I needed
 
Sorry, that sounded sarcastic.
 
I didn't mean it that way
 
I was just trying to find Wayward, but I kept seeing other cool shit in my browser game bookmarks
 
2:36 AM
I take a bus with wifi home every day, and this is the best way to use the time
 
@murgatroid99 What kind of device do you have?
 
@GnomeSlice Win 7 laptop
 
Dawn of the Plow is pretty damn addicting, but it's neither a web game nor free.
 
And I have to go
 
See ya.
 
2:38 AM
@GnomeSlice Work laptop. Not installing anything
 
holy shit plow update
@murgatroid99 Ah. Good call.
 
@murgatroid99 Put games on flash drive, plug flash drive in, play games
Win
...Not that I'd know anything about that >.>
 
@murgatroid99 Here's my entire browser game bookmarks folder. A lot of them came out as 'untitled' because I mashed the tabs before they were all loaded because it was crashing the shit out of my PC. Just hover the links.
wtf they have blank names
hover just next to the icons on the blank ones I guess
 
2:55 AM
@GnomeSlice Yes, I got the humble bundle link :D
Thanks :)
 
@RPiAwesomeness What game was it?
I forget lol
 
uh...pfhhhh. I forget also. :D I just accepted it and didn't give a second thought. It was some retro/8 bit hack'n'slash if I remember correctly.
 
?
Uh.
Can you check
Oh wait
 
@JourneymanGeek Did you hear? I got to use my steam account for the first time? Granted it was on a friends PC, but still
 
Hack Slash Loot?
 
2:57 AM
Yeh
 
Nice. Enjoy.
 
That was one you gave me, but that wasn't the newest
 
cool ;p
 
@RPiAwesomeness what was?
 
Hack Slash Loot actually had a lot of bad reviews
 
2:57 AM
Did you take the Hydrophobia one?
@murgatroid99 Also not in my list is the flash version of The Power. Excellent free metroidvania.
@RPiAwesomeness Yeah, it's okay.
 
@GnomeSlice I need the steam client to use CD codes. I'm planning on doing it on Friday :)
 
I wouldn't say it's awful, but it's not amazing either.
 
It looks nice - Hydrophobia:D
 
It needs a pretty hefty PC
 
@GnomeSlice So I read
 
2:58 AM
yeah
physics and shit
 
yeah...water-filled world...
BTW, can it utilize multiple cores?
@GnomeSlice Do you figure if Valve will mind if I let my friend use my Steam account? I'm obviously not using it... :D
@GnomeSlice The game you just gave me was Hammerwatch
 
@RPiAwesomeness Lots of people share accounts with their families. Not sure if there's actually a rule against it.
@RPiAwesomeness Oh, awesome.
That one is pretty cool.
 
lol, I've got 8 games and I've not paid a cent :D
+2 if you count TF2 and DOTA2.
Terraria is rather addicting :) I played like 10 minutes of it, mostly figuring out basics, and I was hooked. I still prefer Minecraft at this point, but I haven't played Terraria enough to know :)

Honestly, it's a little weird to me that people compare Terraria and Minecraft as much as they do.
There are tangential similarities, but one's a 2D side-scroller with emphasis on fighting monsters while the other is basically a 3D platformer with an emphasis on absolutely nothing.
Just sort of branches out and does whatever.
 
3:13 AM
Yay, home from dance class.
Four hours of dancing: check.
 
@Yuuki I'd say Minecraft has an emphasis on creativity.
 
k so Roguelight is really hard.
@murgatroid99 Oh, and Tower of Heaven is fantastic, not sure if it's in there
@murgatroid99 wtf and Nitrome, how did I forget them.

Anyone know of a good website hosting domain thats free?
Or a trial?
Free trial*
 
@7Blue_Beast7 Geocities?
 
Whats that?
 
@7Blue_Beast7 Google. It's your friend.
 
@Frank Gone
 
How you know I was suppose to google?
hehe just a question ^
 
3:53 AM
@7Blue_Beast7 Because that tends to answer most questions.
@TrentHawkins Really? Since when?
 
Because google knows all and sees all.
 
lolz okay
 
@Frank 2009, I think?
Except in Japan, for some reason.
 
Geocities is in some kind of asian language
 
@Frank uhh... years ago... I had an old geocities page back when it was divided into categories/blocks... eventually after yahoo bought it, it was just based on your user-name, and then they closed the service.
 
3:55 AM
@TimStone Huh. Wow, I'm really out of touch.
 
bored and out of wine :(
 
... you offered me an asian site ????
 
@7Blue_Beast7 No, I offered you a site that used to do what you wanted.
Apparently, it no longer does.
 
When it comes to things like web hosting, you kind of get what you pay for. Which is usually a subdomain, and, as demonstrated in the case of Geocities, it might not stick around.
 
"Yahoo! GeoCities is a web hosting service, currently available only in Japan."
hm... explains it but then thats crazy
 
3:57 AM
@7Blue_Beast7 what kind of thing are you looking for? I pay 6.99 per month for my Format site and it's worth every penny. That's more portfolio based though so idk if that'll work for you
 
A free web hoster for my site i created for my clan....
 
Yahoo! GeoCities is a web hosting service, currently available only in Japan. Yahoo! GeoCities was originally founded by David Bohnett and John Rezner in late 1994 as Beverly Hills Internet (BHI). In 1999 GeoCities was acquired by Yahoo!; at that time it was the third-most visited Web site on the World Wide Web. In its original form, site users selected a "city" in which to place their web pages. The "cities" were named after real cities or regions according to their content—for example, computer-related sites were placed in "SiliconValley" and those dealing with entertainment were assigned to...
 
I hate to have them type things like blabla.bllaaa.com
 
weebly.com might do the trick. I've seen a few friends use it.
@7Blue_Beast7 You want free, that's what you get.
No way around it.
 
I used to have a Geocities site, guys :3
@7Blue_Beast7 Oh! Wix.com might work for you
 
3:59 AM
I was in the 5000 block of TimesSquare
 
I'm looking at my plentyoffish thing for the first time in like 3 years, what the fuck am I doing with my life
 
But Wix don't host sites for free....
 
@7Blue_Beast7 Yeah it does.
 
hehe I know i have been to a lot of sites that trick you into to believing free.
I will give it a try but I like Ucoz better
 
my eyebrows are weird.
or I think my wine thinks my eyebrows are weird.
 
4:01 AM
Well night all!
 
@spugsley if your wine is talking to you, you should probably stop consuming it
 
@Chippies well. It's gone. Or it will be when I finish this glass. And there was a bit left in the bottle so I was like...hmmmm...might as well finish it up
which is dangerous
 
@spugsley oh no, a wine-full spugsley! Everyone hide!
 
my geocities site was about Lunar 2: Eternal Blue
hahahahahaha
 
@spugsley If you're gonna make a site, making one about a game is great.
 
4:04 AM
@Frank I was 11. And it was one of the only things my dad let me do on the internet. Bahahaha
but then when I was looking for pictures of Lunar stuff I learned what fanart was :D
and then the internet got taken away because this is why we can't have nice things
 
Pretty sure by the time Geocities closed in late 2009, my page was a 12-year-old artifact, blinking text, excessive frames and all.
 
@TrentHawkins I'm sure mine was in a similar boat

So yeah, little time this week between work, family and other stuff, but I'm testing some background image concepts anyway. Needs more clutter, that one, but I like the angle.

Can someone explain the people on GD.SE how to deal with spam? =p
I've seen one person editing it, and another person using a custom close reason >< (on the same question!)
 
@KevinvanderVelden Do they have a normal spam flag?
 
@5pike yeah
(Note, I'm below 2k rep on GD.SE, can't see the votes)
 
Which question?
 
@KevinvanderVelden Well, just tell them "Do NOT edit the spam, do NOT make a custom flag, DO use the normal spam flag"
 
@MartinSojka This one
@5pike I did =p
 
9:52 AM

@fredley: So I recently discovered a local company which supposedly carries 1000+ classical CDs. I'm (probably) going to swing by today. Probably pick up quite a few CDs. A composer at thetop of my lits is Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. I've been meaning to pick up some of his music for a while. Also looking into Shubert and Brahms. I've got a few more on my list as well.

(Yes, the cds are mostly plastic, I am talking about the music on them)
 
@KevinvanderVelden It is acceptable.

@Wipqozn I have the same issue, but with metal instead of classical music.
 
Oh, I should pick up some GY;BE too.
 
@Lazers Dupe
 
@Arperum I've bought the Sacrificium boxset from Xandria, and The Human Contradiction and Interlude from Delain
 
@KevinvanderVelden I'm going to see them both! Delain in February (maybe January too, but not sure abnout that yet) and Xandria at Metal Female Voices Fest next month.
(And I never listened to either before, or I can't specifically remember anyway)
 
Hmm, Sabaton and Delain (and Battle Beast which I don't know) in one show in january...

Actually, make that total $48.91, if we exclude a $0.99 soundtrack
 
@Unionhawk In most cases it's a bad sign if your DLC costs more then your game.
 
@Arperum I had my suspicions that something was up when the second DLC was a fucking weapons pack
 
I say most cases, because sometimes there are actually valid large expansion who are worth their money.

Q: Why does my Pole Position 2 Cart play Qbert?

ScottCA guy I work with just gave me his Atari 2600 and a bunch of games, I hooked it up and thought what should be the first game I try (after 5 hours of playing Destiny) so I popped in Pole Position I figured of all the games in the box this one would show off what the 2600 could really do... Power O...

 
@Unionhawk Yea, those are the bad ones. Magicka has the same system, except worse.
They have a 10€ basegame and 60€+ of DLC
mostly useless stupid itempacks.
 
@Lazers Yay for swapping labels!
 
About ~20€ is valid extra content.
 
@Frank He might provide a picture later.
 
@5pike Hopefully. It's either label switching, or someone swapped the boards in the carts.
 
1:37 PM
@Frank Yeah. Are atari carts screwed together?
 
@5pike ...tri wing, I believe. Or something similiar.
It's been a very long time since I've examined a cart.
 
Of the DLC, I count 5 weapons packs, and 3 paid dlc that add new content (I suppose for full disclosure I should include the free ones that add content: there are 6 free dlcs adding new content)
 
@Frank Seems like a normal cross-head, according to an image search. I'll wrote a comment, that he should also check the screw for an suspicious marks.
 
Hmmm, after counting, magicka might be better then expected. I think ~half of the DLC is pure item packs. the other half is partly items, partly new map. which sort of counts for new content.
Still, 10 or more item packs = bad.
 
Is it bad that I'm in computer architecture and I'm thinking "Okay, that component is literally a redstone repeater"?
Just a little?
 
1:47 PM
@Unionhawk no, this is the appropriate thing to think
All computers are just this except really, really tiny:
But more seriously, no it's not bad, it's good that you grasp what a part does and have an analogue to it
 
@Unionhawk Yes, but that's because you should be thinking "Okay, this redsone repeater is literally that component."
 
@FEichinger Forgive me, I learned digital circuits through Minecraft before even entering college.
 
@Unionhawk As long as you can grasp the fact that the similarity or lack thereof depends on the level of abstraction and only use it to understand the role of the component for a given level, it's fine and encouraged.

@KevinvanderVelden That's honestly what I thought initially too. I was confused.
 
Actually, I thought about the game first as well. Because "RAM prices" and "expensive" doesn't compute.
 
@Unionhawk oh no, I got what he meant first, I'm just teasing
 
@KevinvanderVelden Well, yes, I gathered that from the second message
 
@MartinSojka When it's the same price it was 2 years ago, that's expensive.
 
I would not say it's cheap...
This is for a random ram chip, it's risen in price

@KevinvanderVelden Is that adjusted for inflation?
 
Though it is laptop ram
@MartinSojka no, actual price
 
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's going up across the board, in general
 
Uh, actual as in, "if you buy it at this point you are spending X euros of that times money"
