Okay so he e I go beckon work
Pce
 
bail
seat our doom
@Arperum clearly past you could read code way better than you do
 
@badp Past me just wrote horrible code.
 
@Arperum this is an eternally true statement
 
3296 with the collar variant
 
@Arperum present me writes horrible code
 
8:08 PM
@Rapitor future me probably writes horrible code
 
future me writes somewhat better code, hates present me and wants to kill past me.
time travel will be bad for my well being
 
well, gaugepowered doesn't really tell me what game to play next
Would any of you mind giving me a suggestion? steamcommunity.com/id/nzall/games/?tab=all&sort=name
 
@NateKerkhofs Antichamber
 
As soon as I figure out how to make that damn game work well with Azerty
 
@NateKerkhofs why not switch layout temporarily?
 
8:14 PM
Because that's not a sustainable solution
 
assuming azerty keyboards don't have the layout hard wired, which they might, I wouldn't know
 
I use ZQSD instead of WASD
so I just need to switch Z-W and Q-A
 
@NateKerkhofs wat
 
that's what AZERTY is: ZW and QA are switched
 
I switch between latvian and english layouts all the time and there's even less difference between them than your azerty
 
8:15 PM
oh
 
but as I said, idk if the ZW and QA switch is hard wired or through software
so it might not be an option
 
@Chippies no matter what's hard wired, it's possible for some software to change it. Keyboards just send signals to the computer. The software can interpret those signals however it wants
 
@murgatroid99 oh that's for sure, but if it's hard wired, it would be more complicated than just pressing alt+shift to switch a layout
 
As I expected, I need to edit config files
 
Even if a keyboard is hardwired to send a "Z" signal to the computer, the driver can just say "Z? OK, you get a W"
 
8:18 PM
doesn't Antichamber allow rebinding keys?
@murgatroid99 I know that, I had my laptop keyboard "rewired" in software because I didn't like some keys
but to reverse that, I'd have to log out and log back into windows
whereas switching layouts takes no time at all
 
Bacon
 
No, it doesn't
 
Right, there might be software restrictions on how easy it is to change layouts, but that has nothing to do with the hardware
 
This is the first instance in 5 hours I've had to stop and chat
Stupid work
 
@NateKerkhofs it doesn't what?
 
8:20 PM
GAAAAAAAH I AM ADDICTED TO A DUMB PHONE GAME HEEEEELLLPPPP
 
switching keyboard layout in windows can be done by pressing alt+shift
 
Antichamber doesn't allow rebinding of keys
 
oh okay, thought you were replying about the layout thing
lame that it doesn't allow rebinding
should be the norm for PC games nowadays
I guess it is the norm, but there are exceptions...
 
@Chippies That's only if you have additional layouts setup, and I've removed those because they are actually annoying if your keyboard suddenly changes to qwerty qnd you stqrt to type like this
 
SAAAAVEEEE MEEEEEE
 
8:22 PM
@NateKerkhofs you get used to switching layouts and can easily keep track on what layout you're on over time
 
It's really annoying if one of the most frequently used letters is switched around with one that is used less than Merkel's sense of humor
 
blame azerty layout, lol
 
I'm Belgian, it's what I've used for the past 25 years
 
I'm not saying it's your fault for using azerty :)
 
Main differences are the number line and the bottom-left side of the keyboard, the one with all the symbols
 
8:24 PM
 
@Wipqozn You're a monster for not using the scripted companions.
 
What place is that and is it avoidable?
 
Also, it doesn't help because I can put dumb phone game on autopilot for minutes at a time
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's just a random screenshot I found online
 
8:26 PM
Trying to decide if this keep is worth it
 
that sounds worse than it actually is
or maybe that's just my twisted mind
 
@Chippies NSFW
 
@OrigamiRobot I suppose if DVDs and fingers are banned at your work...
you probably should be working anyway
 
It's really fun whn there's a file called "DefaultInput.ini", and you edit it thinking it's the one you need. But actually, you need to first load the game, and then it creates ANOTHER file called "UDKInput.ini", and that's the one that sets your controls
 
Raedric, imma bust into your keep, but first imma pick all the flowers outside.
 
8:30 PM
@NateKerkhofs that's true for all UDK games actually
 
And the UDKInput.ini file does not use the DefaultInput.ini as a base...
 
@NateKerkhofs that part seems odd though, but I've never actually tested if it does or doesn't
might be different from game to game
 
@Chippies LET'S NOT PRETEND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I MEAN
 
@Wipqozn How far are you in POE?
 
I don't mind doing this for an Indie game. At least most AAA games allow you to change keybinds, although there are plenty that don't
 
8:32 PM
@OrigamiRobot It's butts made of fingers. The title kinda implied that.
 
@Sterno I've completed Raedric's Hold and have unlocked Caed Nua.
In fact I'm going to go hope in the shower, then play for the res tof the night.
I would have been playing earlier... but I ended up watching a bunch of conan clips on youtube.
 
Why did using my prybar remove it from my inventory?
grrr
 
@Chippies AND?
 
I wonder what @Wipqozn is going to hope for in the shower. Probably good looks.
 
@OrigamiRobot that's it.
 
8:34 PM
I DON'T SEE HOW THAT'S RELEVANT
 
@Sterno I'm going to wish I didn't watch Conan videos and instead played Pillars for an extra hour.
 
@Sterno All items that can bypass these checks are single-use only
 
@Sterno I would look at the finger butts with my grandma next to me, if that's what you're asking
 
But from what I can tell, you find enough of those anyway
 
or mother, or father, or sister, or whoever sets the bar for these things, I forget
 
8:35 PM
TOTALLY FAIR
 
I'm not saying it's SFW, but I am not saying it's NSFW either, use your own judgment, I guess
 
MY BAR IS "WILL IT MAKE MY BOSS COME ASK ME QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING IF HE WALKS BY"
AND HERE, THE ANSWER TO THAT IS "YES"
 
@OrigamiRobot I would think your boss would come ask you why aren't you working if, in fact, you aren't working
and again - it had "butts" in the title, not sure what you expected
 
I'M TALKING ABOUT THE PICTURE
THAT IS WHAT I REPLIED TO
 
@OrigamiRobot I see, I didn't notice that, thought it was a reply to the article. My bad.

8:41 PM
Holy crap, how many times am I gonna have to hit this stupid rock with my hammer?
 
@AshleyNunn ARE YOU USING A STUPID HAMMER?
THAT COULD BE YOUR PROBLEM
 
@AshleyNunn Lots.
It sometimes takes days of expending excess stamina into destroying them.
Wow. We have...rather broad support to chuck Minecraft tech support out the window. Either completely, or no mod support at all.
 
@Frank Not surprising. They've been de facto chucked out the window for months now. This just codifies the existing process.
 
Having insufficient Mechanics to disarm traps is the worst.
 
@JasonBerkan I'm surprised at just how much support we have, though.
 
8:52 PM
@JasonBerkan Yeah, true.
 
@Frank I don't play Minecraft, and even I noticed the sheer amount of crap that type of question dumped here.
 
uuuugghhh desire to buy story of seasons RIIIIISING
 
@Frank Given that pretty much none of us is able to answer these questions. I mean, sometimes you can give it a shot with the crash dump, but even then...
 
I blame @AshleyFrank
 
@MadScientist Neither do I. But we see so many of these things, I can recognize what the different types of error logs are at this point.
@JasonBerkan It's a crap shoot. And with the level of user engagement for these questions (ie. none), we very rarely are even able to help them.
 
8:53 PM
We should just have a meta / blog / something that explains if you are having problems, remove mods until the problem goes away. That's 90% of Minecraft mod troubleshooting.
 
@JasonBerkan That would be a good canonical for a question like, "How do I troubleshoot and pinpoint which mod is causing me issues?"
@Wipqozn Gooooood.
If we decide to least provide limited support in the way of canonicals, anyways.
 
@JasonBerkan since the problem is often mod interactions, though, you probably want some extra stuff about trying combinations of mods
 
@murgatroid99 Yeah - and some notes regarding ID clashes and what you can do about those (i.e. look for a config file in the mod).
 
1. Remove mod
2. Is problem solved? Root mod found. Don't use mod.
3. Back to step 1.
Simplistic, but essentially the troubleshooting process.
 
@Frank my point was that it may not be one mod that's causing the problem, but a pair or more. If you can find the pair that's causing the problem, you can decide which to remove
