so a hysto wouldn't count, but getting your weiner stuck to a pole while trying to copulate with it would
 
@Unionhawk *nyeh
 
@Ohnana heh, weiner
 
@Ohnana those are not really bad enough
 
@nukeforum it is graded by Inability to reproduce(Nominee must be dead or rendered sterile), Excellence(Astoundingly stupid judgment), Self-Selection(Cause of one's own demise.), and Maturity(Capable of sound judgment).
 
6:01 PM
@Unionhawk duet
 
its also must be verified
 
@Dragonrage Ohhh, that's pretty solid. That means unfortunate children can't win it.
 
@GodEmperorDune LOL
 
If a man consumes antimatter alone, in the woods, does he get a darwin award? No, not unless science can prove it.
 
@fredley this is essentially what the "better version" is
 
6:05 PM
@MadMAxJr I'm tempted to ask this on r/shittyscience
 
some of them are a bit fuct
 
@GodEmperorDune A guy I new in college did this. He reported to the police that someone had stolen his $500 stash of acid.
 
Woo pokemon happening now
 
Is there way to see my progress percentage on Undertale?
Well, I'm on neutral, and I'm on SPOILER ALERT: Undyne Battle.
 
@ardaozkal sounds like a question for Arqade
 
So, I hear that creepy people on The Bridge were talking about where I live earlier.
 
@ardaozkal No, but you are approximately 50% through the game
@Powerlord I blame @twobugs
 
6:19 PM
I blame society
 
@twobugs I blame the images on TV.
 
@twobugs society blames itself
 
Should we blame the government
or blame society?
or should we blame the images on TV...
NO! Blame Canada!
Blame Canada!
 
@Unionhawk please post no as an answer, if you are %100 sure.
(wait for lazers)

Q: Is there way to see my progress percentage?

ardaozkalI'm playing Undertale, and I wonder my progression percentage. I saw some pictures of people with pretty high loves (levels). I want to reach higher loves to get more HP, but I don't want to kill everyone too. Is there a way to see my progression percentage in-game or in a website etc?

 
6:23 PM
@Lazers2.0 VTC as already answered in chat
 
@Powerlord I wish I remembered that song better :(
 
i should write a script that pokes @Unionhawk with the question for progress percentage, and then make it a website and post that as an answer
 
@Dragonrage I'd give that bounty.
 
I don't think you should joke about pinging someone strictly to annoy them, in light of 2015.
 
Do the math yourself
5 bosses, roughly evenly spaced
Well no 6
4 major areas
(RUINS, Snowdin and town, Waterfall, and CORE)
 
6:28 PM
What games do display a "progress percentage"?
 
@murgatroid99 lego games
 
Not many
And those that do use it as a completion not a "time to any%"
 
assassins creed series
 
@murgatroid99 gta, saints row, tomb raider, assassin's creed series.
 
6:30 PM
Again, that's a completion percentage
 
Oh yeah, I remember seeing that in Tomb Raider
 
@Unionhawk instead of?
 
And it was completion percentage
 
Yeah, notice that all of those are non-linear games. It doesn't really serve as much purpose in linear games.
 
@GodEmperorDune a progress percentage for a linear game
 
6:32 PM
Like, how many of the collectibles you found, rather than just how close to the end you are
 
Yes
@ardaozkal if you're going for pacifist Undyne, remember what she says at the beginning and you will figure it out
 
@Unionhawk huh?
 
@Unionhawk the lego games are very up front about how many missions are in the main storyline
 
Oh are you not quite there yet>
 
The answer is, of course, to use the Stick of Truth.
Wait, that's South Park again.
 
6:37 PM
Shoot, I knew I forgot to buy something during the sale
 
user15026
@Unionhawk Oh no, I'm trying for a pacifist run but it's been so long since I have played I probably wont remember anything important
 
@AshleyNunn At the beginning of the fight, it's fine
 
Woah, the quiz show song is neat.
 
so at my work, someone put a sticker of the letter "p" on the urinal. I wonder if it is to help them remember what to use it for.
 
6:49 PM
@ardaozkal I can't listen to it at work, but it's one of my favorite songs from Undertale.
 
...
 
evening chaps
how we doing?
And Ladies, of course.
 
@djsmiley2k good, im catching up to you in rep
 
well I hardly make any, :/
 
@djsmiley2k i capped today for the first time. got lucky and a couple people posted questions about games i play a lot
 
6:55 PM
ah nice
 
is it possible to unwind a show segue?
 
Is this a glitch in the matrix?
 
because calling dismissviewcontroller doesnt actually do anything for me :(
 
user15026
@Unionhawk It just might be

Q: Question about my flow of quests, like Institutionalized

GillesDVI think I'm kinda stuck and I'd like to ask for help. Some preliminary stuff first: I've already explored most of the Commonwealth and did most of the quests. I decided to side with the Railroad and they helped me build that teleporter thing. I promised Virgil I'd get him some FEV cure and Desde...

 
6:58 PM
@Dragonrage ?
 
^Why everyone should buy Undertale.
 
@Dragonrage *segway
 
@Powerlord im trying to return to a different VC that i came from via a show segue in ios
 
@GodEmperorDune tell that to apple
 
7:01 PM
 
@Dragonrage whoosh
@ardaozkal you like undertale, we get it
 
@Dragonrage double whoosh
 
whoosh
 
I asked Ubisoft about their official stance on cheating in Watch_Dogs singleplayer with no connectivity to other players AT ALL
Now to wait for their answer
 
7:15 PM
@NateKerkhofs why?
 
@murgatroid99 Because their license is unclear on that particular aspect, and I'd like to actually enjoy
 
I think his concern is that if he uses cheats in Watch_Dogs singleplayer he might get autobanned from uPlay, which would stink
 
Uplay stinks
 
I mean, uPlay ain't the greatest, but it's your only option for some games
 
Soooo what's occuring?
 
7:16 PM
@twobugs indeed. I got many hours invested in the Assassin's Creed series, not to mention all of that money for buying the games and some DLC

Q: W.D Gaster in actual timeline? (SPOILERS)

LeaguePastrySo I've been datamining Undertale, and I came across this one file called mysteryman, and I decided to delve deeper. I found out that this guy was called W.D. Gaster, and I altered the fun values and whatnot to get all of his black and white characters and Gaster himself to spawn. But what was th...

 
@twobugs I guess. I'd be surprised if they could even tell that you cheated locally
 
uplay? more like ufail, amirite
 
I think someone commented they could detect it? No clue how accurate that statement is
Also I'm just going to assume that Undertale question is super spoiler-y and steer completely clear of it
 
wow scavenger perk 2 is awesome
 
7:19 PM
It is impossible to encounter Dr. Gaster without altering Fun values
 
@murgatroid99 The problem is that for %Deity knows what reason, Ubisoft has infected the singleplayer with multiplayer elements, mainly other players being able to invade your singleplayer game and steal stuff from you
 
@NateKerkhofs Yeah, I read your question
 
You can opt out of it through the options, but they still got a blanket ban on any and all cheats and hacks in "online multiplayer, singleplayer over the internet or on Local Area Network", But they don't mention anything about offline singleplayer without involvement of the internet or a LAN
 
I'm just saying that they probably inspect network traffic for cheating, not the running binary.
 
So that's why I'm asking them whether that blanket ban also applies if there aren't any other players that might be affected by cheating.
@murgatroid99 You never know for sure. There are several games with online components that check for altered files
 
7:23 PM
@murgatroid99 If youre in a zone on WoW, alone
Does cheating suddenly not matter?
 
@djsmiley2k I don't see your point
 
borderlands? you cheat in the single player
it shows up in the multi.
 
@djsmiley2k WoW is different. WoW is a multiplayer game, not a singleplayer game
 
:/
it was an extreme example
dark souls
you cheat in the single player
 
@djsmiley2k How does Borderlands cheating show up in the multiplayer, exactly?
 
7:24 PM
guy invades you, you gank him
@NateKerkhofs guns/xp hacks/other weird stuff
borderlands 1 was completely broken by cheats
 
@djsmiley2k can you disable invasions from other players in Dark Souls?
 
@djsmiley2k There are two orthogonal issues here: "is it OK to cheat in singleplayer games with multiplayer elements?" and "Can uPlay tell if you cheated in a completely disconnected singleplayer game?"
 
@NateKerkhofs 1. by playing 'offline' or 2. with a certain item iirc
 
@djsmiley2k Which is all stuff that you can also acquire legitimately
 
@NateKerkhofs not all of it no
you clearly didn't play :/
guns that fired guns XD
 
7:25 PM
@djsmiley2k And there wasn't a single gun that fires guns in the original Borderlands?
 
In Borderlands 1 people basically cracked the equipment system and were making custom equipment
 
@djsmiley2k If you feel strongly about this issue, I would suggest contributing to the meta question on the topic

Q: Questions asking for cheats in games where the singleplayer also has multiplayer components

Nate KerkhofsWe have Where do we stand on cheating in single player games?, about cheating in singleplayer games (which says "cheating in singleplayer is fine") and How do we stand on cheats, in particularly for multiplayer games? (which says "cheating in multiplayer is deplorable"). However, some games that...

 
@twobugs Which is my point: they were giving themselves custom equipment, but aside from combinations of gun abilities, I doubt they were able to actually add completely new types of ammo to the game. If a gun can be modded fire guns in the multiplayer, there probably was a gun that can already do that in singleplayer
Ohterwise other players would not be able to see what your gun was doing, since they didn't have a modded version of the game
 
@NateKerkhofs It's been a while, but they were able to create guns that were impossible to find in single player. Stats significantly out of the intended ranges
You can see similar stuff in Diablo 3 console, where sometimes you'll encounter people with equipment several orders of magnitude stronger than intended
 
@NateKerkhofs no. I used to develop mods for GTA 4 and 5, and people would be able to see it, as long as you used the in game codes.
 
7:30 PM
I see
 
Gun that shoots car etc
 
You can set up infinite ammo rocket launchers using glitches in Borderlands TPS
What's your point
 
@murgatroid99 not sure how I feel enough to be able to put it down concisely
 
Glitches not external tools
 
You don't mod in that feature, you just make it check it if it is shooting, and you just spawn cars at the front of the player, and make them go FAST.
 
7:31 PM
I don't really have a point here, I'm just talking. I don't have a problem with cheating that doesn't negatively impact another player's experience.

^^
that's my view
 
I do not condone multiplayer cheating myself, and I condemn it with the strongest terms. However, I only play singleplayer with as much of the multiplayer bullshit as possible disabled.
 
And online games that include other people whether or not you want it makes this muddy.
Mandatory online connectivity makes it even muddier.
 
I was putting forward theories as to why ubisoft might not allow it
 
So if I want to cheat in my singleplayer game without affecting your enjoyment of the game in a negative way, I should be able to do so.
 
7:32 PM
@djsmiley2k we all understood why Ubisoft doesn't allow it
 
@NateKerkhofs tell that to ubi
 
I did it with Far Cry 3 and 4 as well, in the singleplayer. At a certain point I just enabled the godmode flag in the config file
 
@MadMAxJr Yep, always online and forced multiplayer make it a tough line to tread. I wouldn't trust Ubisoft to handle this with anything but a blunt warhead.
 
So you just need your own ubisoft connection server with nobody on it. ask them to allocate one to you.
 
@murgatroid99 so, they don't allow it then?
 
7:33 PM
@MadMAxJr Own ubisoft connection server DLC, just for $9999.-!
 
If they can find time between releasing Assassins Creed: The Outback and Assassins Creed: Caveman Era.
 
@djsmiley2k We don't know for sure if they do or don't allow it. Someone argued they might.

@MadMAxJr OR I can just disable my connection to Ubisoft servers alltogether and run the game offline on my own computer without any wired or wireless connectivity to other computers
 
Right. But the game won't run without an online connection period, right?
 
7:34 PM
I asked them about it via a support question
@MadMAxJr I have the exe blocked on my firewall and I appear to be able to log in without an issue

Q: Do the MILA missions ever end?

djsmiley2kTinker Tom keeps giving me these missions - I do seem to be making 'some' kind of progress as he tells me now we have good coverage of the wasteland.... and then tells me he has another for me to setup. Do they ever end or is this another infinite quest setup?

 
So unless they are doing that via another way that doesn't involve that exe, it should run offline
I'll test it right now with flight mode
 
That's what I'm curious about. If it back door 'calls home' or something.
Cheating isn't that important to me so I've never given it this level of thought.
 
@MadMAxJr dunno, it might put a flag on your save data.
Best way to find out is to buy a new W_D copy (from g2a etc) and testing godhacking on a new Uplay account.
 
I guess the nuclear option would be to play with the network connection diabled.
 
7:37 PM
I doubt it does but when you consider that it's possible to have a significant amount of money tied to a specific uplay account it's an annoying risk.
 
Paying money to test for a ban trigger isn't ideal.
 
@ardaozkal Or... just ask them.
Testing a ban is a very foolish option.
 
@twobugs I asked if graphic mods were allowed in GTA Online to Rockstar back in day, using both mail and phone, talking to 2 different people.
I ended up getting banned for graphic mods (FoV mod)
 
They ban for any alteration they can detect if you're online, yeah.
 
Sure, ubi is not rockstar, but this is an example of tech support knowing not much about it, and just saying yes.
 
7:39 PM
Unfortunately Uplay might respond to the inquiry with 'We don't release information about bans' the same way Steam doesn't comment on what triggers VAC specifically.
 
as I said, best way to be sure would be using a new account and a new game.
lol, I loved the noodle reference
 
@ardaozkal Okay, this is not really comparable at all
 
wibble
 
You're talking about a single player mod that doesn't impact anybody vs an online mod that gives you a clear and obvious advantage over other players
(Yes, having higher FoV is an advantage)

Q: In Minecraft, how do you play in Hard difficulty without depleting hunger?

SnowiceeI've been making a Hard map in Minecraft, but whenever I test it, I keep getting hungry! The goal is to kill all of the monsters in the map, but I can't sprint, sleep or focus if I'm about to die of starvation. What do I do?

Q: What are the origins of the Diddy Kong Racing characters?

Fredy31 Some are easy, like diddy, conker and banjo, but who are and where do the others come from?

 
Man, the ARG folk sent so many emails to Mark Laidlaw that he quit Valve
 
Lol
Goddammit Internet
 
He retired. Now HL3 won't have a key writer.
Someone on reddit posted an email chain they had. Even he didn't know where HL3 status was. But even if he did, he'd be under an NDA.
 
And then reddit was like "of course nobody knows you fucking idiot"
 
No one at Valve knows anything about HL3 or the ARG or caching or anything, jeeze.
 
7:57 PM
@TimStone Well, they know about Caching.
 
No, but they know about Ka-Ching
 
I think HL3 exists in a quantum pocket of space. You can know of it, but observing it may cause it to change or cease to exist.
 
ARG?
 
THEY KNOW ABOUT CASHING AMIRITE is shot
 
Augmented Reality Game.
Oh valve knows /cashing/ very well.
That's how we got steam sales.
