@Wipqozn Either case, what it is is not an opinion, it's either right or wrong.

I agree with that. However it is slightly different (going back to the question) because it's not a full picture we're seeing. That's where my view point comes into play.

Frank

I'm not sure if deliberately vague "screenshots", wrapped around what is most likely a contest or other online skill test elsewhere online, really meets the spirit of why we allow the exception in the first place. It's meant to be used for questions where you see a game being played, in a TV show, or news program, or seeing it elsewhere in your travels online, without a name attached to it. Not to attempt to stump readers because you don't attach a full screenshot. Multiple partial screenshots, in fact. — Frank 15 secs ago

@MBraedley Gotcha.

Yuuki

It's interesting how both games have a mechanic tuned specifically to reward long-time players: LoL has their rune system and HotS has their hero leveling. And of the two, I think LoL's rune system is more forgiving.

Since any runes you have can be used for any champion, whereas you have to level each hero separately in HotS.

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot I just spent 50 swarmwarps that go 3+ days each and didn't move up a single tier.

Fluttershy

1:44 PM

@Yuuki The hero leveling seems neat, and logical, since a lot of players settle on a select few and only play as those. But it also feels like it artificially lengthens playtime.

Yuuki

@Fluttershy It makes very little sense to me. It discourages trying out new heroes and, in my opinion, gives veteran players more of an advantage than LoL's rune system.

StrixVaria

LoL's rune system is awful.

Yuuki

@StrixVaria And HotS's hero leveling is worse.

StrixVaria

The rune system is the main reason I never even bothered thinking about playing ranked.

Yuuki

Imagine having a rune system. Except the runes you unlock can only be used for a single hero.

StrixVaria

1:47 PM

HotS hero upgrade system thingy doesn't seem that bad to me, to be honest. After just a few games you unlock a bunch of stuff.

@Yuuki The problem with the rune system is that I had to choose between buying a new champion or buying boring-ass runes.

Which means I almost never got runes, because getting a new champion is always more interesting.

So that put me at a disadvantage because I have a super-duper generic rune-page that is good on almost any champion and nothing else.

Q: What is the drug dealer playing in Kick-Ass?

In the scene where Hit-Girl first assists Kick-Ass, what is the drug dealer playing? You only get a few seconds to see the game on screen:

game-identification

StrixVaria

In HotS by contrast you get gold for playing as anybody, which can be used to buy new heroes, and you get xp as specific heroes as you play them, which unlocks stuff for that hero. That's way better.

Plus, in theory, all the build options in HotS are viable, so it's not like you're crippled if you've never used a guy before.

You still get a good number of options.

Yuuki

Same goes for runes. They're really not necessary for normal games. I've done perfectly fine with a completely useless rune page (flat AP and magic penetration on an AD bruiser) on multiple occasions.

Origami Robot

Glitter is the worst

StrixVaria

It just feels bad to not have runes when you know most opponents will.

If LoL cut runes or made them easier to acquire, I would actually consider playing it again.

I really like watching the LCS.

Yuuki

1:54 PM

@StrixVaria It also feels bad to be playing a new hero and having half of your talent options cut out.

I'm not saying the rune system is good.

They're both bad in my opinion, I just feel HotS's hero levels are worse.

StrixVaria

@Yuuki I guess this is subjective, but the progression in HotS felt way better than in LoL to me.

The fact that you have to choose between heroes or runes makes LoL worse to me. In HotS you can progress both at once.

The best part is now my object model gets to propagate this nonsense by using strings instead of booleans

This is how I feel about the current discussion:

What does this mean, I wonder.

Jason Berkan

Ick. Whenever I've dealt with crap like this, I make the data access code translate from crap to good, so that the rest of the code is not polluted.

Very pleased with #EliteDangerous Wings. I hear the Fed Navy agrees with those lobbying for lower prices of the FdL so…

@Sterno When my friend was doing data entry for a blood clinic people put all kinds of weird shit in the 'race' section of the form

Arperum

@Sterno That's completely racist.

Origami Robot

@Sterno The Google survey I took yesterday started out asking me if I was hispanic. Then it asked me a bunch of questions about real estate.

TheAce

@OrigamiRobot wow cool

Sterno

I should probably stop talking about this. You can't identify my client, but still.

Can a mod delete the messages about the race thing for me?

Origami Robot

2:13 PM

@Sterno mod flag it

fredley

@Sterno which message?

Sterno

that one. thanks

fredley

@Sterno Removed and history purged.

Your sins are forgiven

@OrigamiRobot cheaper rebuy?

MBraedley

I wish today were Friday. That way, tomorrow would be Saturday. Saturdays are awesome, and should happen more often.

Rapitor

FDL isn't the expensive one (i mean it is... but), Vulture is the blatant overprice

Origami Robot

@Rapitor I think you seriously underestimate Large hardpoints.

Serverfrog

@MattE.Эллен i have a good camera but the mic on this is worser than that on my headset. The Quality of the Video is good but the sound is very bad. I would like to have a Standalone version from mic and headphone

Rapitor

@OrigamiRobot clipper is same price, multi-role and has more hardpoints.

large hardpoints alone does not justify price

Origami Robot

2:23 PM

@Rapitor It also has great shields and maneuverability. Not everyone wants multirole.

Rapitor

especially since its a fighter, meaning you will probably blow up more. enjoy super expensive rebuy because initial cost is high

Origami Robot

I've only ever been a fighter and I've only blown up 7 times. At least the of those were due to me being dumb with collisions.

Rapitor

there is still a higher risk to being a fighter than just exploring or trading.

Serverfrog

@MattE.Эллен and who is Grace Helbig?

Origami Robot

I don't think you should judge a ship you haven't flown so harshly.

@OrigamiRobot basically all my booms are be running into shit

I realize the majority of people can't really make a judgement based on experience, but I'm just sayin.

Q: How do I add a tag to a specific block entity on the ground?

How do I, say, make it such that the game will target all levers that have been broken by a stone shovel and make it such that they can be placed on stone and bedrock, but ONLY levers that are currently in entity form - nothing else? For instance, if I were to break a lever and drop a ladder, onl...

@MBraedley Yes. It should be Saturday every day.

Rapitor

I'm not judging the ship. I'm sure it's a phenomenal one. My point is the cost is on the high end for its risk/benefits.

Origami Robot

@Rapitor You can't know the benefits without having flown it.

Q: New UI encourages askers to confirm or dispute duplicate votes

As of yesterday (March 9th), the banner shown to askers whose questions have attracted at least one duplicate close vote has a couple of new options: If the author clicks the first button, the question is instantly closed: If, instead, they edit, then the choice will go away... At least unt...

@MattE.Эллен and to the Camera mic: i don't want to buy a 1200€ camera for the PC ;)

Origami Robot

2:29 PM

I mean, IMO, the Asp is way better than the Clipper and it's less than half the price.

Matt E. Эллен

@Serverfrog aye. recording equipment can get really expensive :D

Can room owners purge message history?

I'm guessing not?

@fredley Nope.

I saw lots of people in the beta say they were selling their Python for a Vulture.

Rapitor

2:31 PM

@OrigamiRobot probably, the clipper is more of a "status" ship.

Origami Robot

I also say lots of people saying they'd never buy a FDL over a Python.

Rapitor

I'm intrigued on what FD has in plans for passenger ships. maybe the orca/dolphin will have purpose.

Serverfrog

yay, thats why i only want to buy these things i must buy ;) and headphones and Mic are the two things.
A 5./7.1 Headphone and a Mic with acceptable quality :3

headphones are one thing. I know what i will. But the Mic part is very difficult for me because i don't really know what prodocts are on the market and what could i buy and what not. I'm currently not in the recording stuff but i would like to learn and need some stuff where i can read about it ;)

StrixVaria

I recognize kfVsfOSbJY0 now because of you people. I sincerely hope none of you actually have that memorized.

When we're all old and retired, we'll see kfVsfOSbJY0 flash across the screen and immediately start screaming.

Frank

I hate Access.

Kevin van der Velden

There are things wrong with all of you, except @Frank. Hating Access is healthy

Frank

We currently have a form, with SUM values in the footer.

Which works. Except on certain servers. Until we reboot them.

I figured out that forcing a recalculation solves the issue.

So, no biggie. Look for the field, if it's blank, force a recalc. No muss, no fuss.

Serverfrog

Funfact: we are using MS Access with Hibernate on a 32bit windows machine

Frank

2:39 PM

Then I find out that one of our other servers is constantly blanking out those totals.

So it looks like it's having a seizure.

Origami Robot

@Rapitor Yea, the Orca is just awkward right now.

Kevin van der Velden

@Frank well, it is running access, I think having a seizure is the appropriate response

Frank

@KevinvanderVelden If we reboot it, though, it works fine!

Something funky is going on here, and I don't know if I have time to find the root issue, or just reboot and work on something else.

Serverfrog

@Frank Root issue -> Access ;)

@Serverfrog Sadly, that's a root issue that can't be resolved in anything less than years.

Q: Minecraft entitys in water

How can I test for two entitys, both of which are in the same body of water? The only way I can think of doing it is having several /testforblock commands, testing for water around the entity, and have another command block testing for other entitys within a radius, and having more command blocks...
