Q: Which champion is stronger in the meta in this current meta?

2016'sBadPlayerCurrently, I'm saving up IP for some champions so I can finally played ranked with characters that I can play efficiently. For top, I'm deciding whether to use Gnar or Jayce.

So what you're saying is that we're going to have a CIA vs. FBI cage match?

@badp *open up to a Subway ad*
 
@badp this guy spends almost 4 minutes explaining why he can't just say "hold A"
 
@KutuluMike Well, the challenge is to do the run with as little presses as possible, so the counting is important I guess
But yes, he could just say that

Q: How To Use Minecart tracks In Terraria Mobile

The Gamer KingI recently got onto Terraria and updated it to find a new thing called Minecart tracks. However, I couldn't find Minecarts. How do you use the Minecart tracks?

 
@KevinvanderVelden Url for new site I've set up redirects to the wrong server \o/ But nothing broke down. so after 7 hours of stabbing at various servers I count this thing as published.

2:43 PM
So it is definitely clocking 8x faster than it should. If I set it to 1200 and set the Windows laptop to 9600, I get clear comms. Unfortunately, I need it to go at an actual baud rate of 115200, and it won't accept being set at a baud rate of 14400. If it was just in our lab, it'd be less of an issue, but since we're dealing with a customer install, we can't have these problems, so the solution seems to be to get another card that we know works. — MBraedley 10 mins ago

Nope, not dealing with it. Buying a card we know should work.
 
@GnomeSlice Was it for accidentally sitting on a gameboard piece?
 
@Wipqozn Are they releasing a Switch version?

I feel like I missed an email regarding this.
Ugh, having to test code against obfuscation is annoying since I have to run the distribution build every time I make a change.
Which takes at least 3-4 minutes on a single module, upwards of 10 minutes if I run the build on the whole project.

But they offered me a permanent position. So I is happy.
 
@Frank Well, that was a roller coaster of emotion.
You, sir, are a jerk.
And here I was all worried for you and your possible unemployment.
 
Oh, c'mon! How often does that happen?

Or a miniature giant robot
 
3:38 PM
Also, @Frank, how many weaponized gundam models do you have? You should get on that, it's the next big thing after painting them
 
@KevinvanderVelden No, next step is mechanizing them in general.
 
A sensible order, weapons aren't much use when they can't be aimed
(unless they're like, nukes or something, then aim really doesn't matter much)
 
If I could miniaturize nukes to that extent, I think I'd be beating off the military.
 
Someone broke Meta :o
 
@Frank nukes can be made fairly small, quite a lot of it is safety actually
 
3:54 PM
@KevinvanderVelden Yeah, so if I could miniaturize them so they're... an inch wide, I suspect the military will want to talk to me.
 
First question: How did you get the weapons grade plutonium?
Even if you couldn't get the bomb working
(second, question: where is half your city block?)
 
The launch platform was named the Davy Crockett?
 
@TimStone no, the projectile itself was the davy crocket
(also actually the entire thing was named the davy crocket, so we're both right)

Q: Why does Minecraft starts with a launcher?

KimatuyRecently I saw something on the internet, something that said that it was possible to open/start up minecraft without launcher. But it is so, why would Mojang still use a launcher to start up Minecraft? I don't have any problems about that; I'm just curious.

 
3:57 PM
 
If it turns out that the bug I've been trying to fix for the past 20 minutes is due to me running a single module build rather than the full project build, I'm going to be extremely AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA‌​AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA‌​AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
 
Huh, that's at the Armory Museum at the Aberdeen Proving Ground, I could go see it :o

150 meter lethal radiation dose, 400 meter probably lethal radiation dose. The thing probably fires further than that
 
@TimStone Isn't...downwind exactly the direction you want to be firing?
 
@Yuuki Officially? No, Unofficially? yes. Basically sounds like they confirmed it via twitter, but weren't actually supposed to do so.
 
4:01 PM
Yesterday I learned about Drunk Donald Trump, where you just slow his speeches to half speed. It's good stuff
 
@Frank Yeah, confused the firer/target
@Sterno A Trump speech but every time he repeats a word the speed cuts in half?
 
@TimStone I was wondering if I was confusing my down/upwind definitions.
 
@TimStone that would take bloody forever
 
@Frank Nah, I messed up :D
 
That's assuming you cut out the most common words
 
4:04 PM
@KevinvanderVelden It'd be the opposite of this and we'd use it for torture since we'll apparently be getting back in that game
 
We don't do torture, torture is bad, just the worst. We do enhanced interrogation and they're very effective, the best methods

@Lazers2.0 Dupe
 
@Yuuki remember when Trump couldn't possibly win because 538 only gave him 30%
there are still idiots who are telling Nate Silver this
it's true
 
@badp Yeah, but there's a significant difference between 30% and 0.0000000000000...5%.
 
You run into wargamers that think the same way. 1/6 = never happens.
 
Several orders of magnitude in fact.
I'm actually complaining about the opposite situation.
Having a discussion on Guid collisions.
 
4:41 PM
@Yuuki But they can't collide, they're globally unique!
 
Humans are really bad at internalizing probability. I think we can just about understand "probably will/won't happen" and "almost definitely will/won't happen"
 
Yes, they are theoretically possible. But in a localized situation, the chances of a Guid collision are so unlikely that if you have one, you should probably look at how you're generating Guids.
Don't just say "well, it's still possible so I can't be doing anything wrong".
@MBraedley Well, that's my point. A proper Guid implementation doesn't make collisions impossible but you should strongly consider examining your implementation if you do get a collision even though they are still theoretically "possible".
Yeah, it's theoretically possible to get 100 heads in a row when flipping a coin. That doesn't mean you should completely ignore the possibility that the coin is weighted or something.

Q: Fallout 4 Character full view

Neon The Dragon X Shadow Neon is there a Way I can see my full Character without having to tilt the camera down at him? the only way that works is having my character idling and having the camera rotate around him

 
@Yuuki (I was being sarcastic, BTW)
 
@Ash Are you playing Stardew again?
 
4:48 PM
Yes, maybe that RNG you put so much faith in is actually generating numerous 4's with a properly randomized algorithm, but sometimes it's actually int random() { return 4; }
 
user15026
@fredley I haven't been, no. Why do you ask?
 
@Ash Bribing people to be your friend with dessert is a core mechanic
 
user15026
@fredley hahaha I never thought of that
 
@fredley I don't know what you're talking about, that's a time-honored Japanese gaming tradition.
Also, repeatedly showing someone your dog can get them to fall in love with you as well.
 
@Yuuki really?
 
4:55 PM
@fredley That's an old HM64 thing.
Karen was one of the more difficult bachelorettes to romance since she tended to like expensive things, but you could also raise her affection by showing her your dog.
Unlike giving items, which had a daily cooldown, showing your dog did not.
 
"Hey girl, wanna see my big hairy dog?"
 
So you could spam it repeatedly to max her romance in like a day.
 
Gingrich at a Heritage Foundation speech has compared Trump to the bear from the Revenant which is a confusing comparison to make >_>
 
Also, you couldn't have high affection with your dog for it work either.
 
Trump is unprecedentedly awful.
 
4:58 PM
There's non-US precedent for his awfulness
 
So it was kind of an early-game thing. Although you could also take an axe or hammer to your dog several times to make the glitch work again.
There is, however, US precedent for politicians making horribly inept comparisons to things from pop culture.
 
That is definitely a thing

I kinda regret having that tea party almost 250 years ago. If we're going to have a foreign power dictate US policy, it might as well be the UK.
 
I can't really imagine someone 250 years ago saying "Maybe we shouldn't do this. In 250 years, it would be unfortunate if Russia got too much influence over American politics"
 
the ddos part was a joke, if it was a dos/ddos, cf would mitigate it anyways. As I said, someone likely ran a scraper, causing traffic to spike for a couple hours.

@djsmiley2k There's been more investments in wildfire reserves and protection of bamboo forests.
 
@Yuuki fire life
 
The issue with breeding is not a panda-only thing. Plenty of species have cyclical reproductive cycles. If anything, humans are the odd ones out for being able to get pregnant at any time.
 
right?
 
@djsmiley2k I MEANT WHAT I SAID.
 
the pandas have emmigrated to america?
 
5:28 PM
@djsmiley2k they got them wet
 
@Yuuki 1 day a year tho?
 
@djsmiley2k 2-3 actually.
 
or is that a myth?
wow ;)
 
Elephants are the same with 4 days a year that they can breed.
> Grizzly bears usually 1-2 day, black bears and sun bears too.

Q: Conflict Global Terror Crash on Launch (PC)

pwnulatrI have been all over searching for a solution with no avail. I have version 1.0 of Conflict Global Terror, fresh off of disk install. The game worked fine for awhile with no issues. After I restarted my computer because of an unrelated reason, the game no longer launches. The launcher comes up an...

@fredley If by "you" you mean the electoral college. Popular vote has him trailing by around 2.5m voters, iirc.
 
Strictly speaking no one has elected him yet since the EC doesn't vote until next Monday :P
 
@TimStone True. But I don't see there being enough faithless electors to stop the inevitable.
 
To the pedantic probability machine!
/cc @Yuuki
 
@Fluttershy If you don't think there will be faithless electors, differentiating between our votes and the electors' votes is kind of irrelevant.
 
@Sterno urmom's kind of irrelevant
I'm sorry.
 
5:41 PM
@Sterno There will be faithless electors. There won't be enough of them.
 
@Yuuki accurate though
 
@Yuuki cc @Wipqozn on that sick burn
 
@Sterno actually, given there are states where the law is "win > 50% of the districts, get all our EC votes" it's relevant
 
@KevinvanderVelden Not really.
Pretending that your vote is irrelevant because popular vote isn't our system is silly
 
Oh in that way
 
5:46 PM
The generic "you". Obviously I don't mean you
 
I thought you meant the popular vote being expected to be accurately represented in the EC
 
@Sterno Well, while your vote is not completely irrelevant under EC, it's strictly speaking more irrelevant than it would be under a popular vote system.
 
@Sterno My vote was basically irrelevant. I'm completely sure that my state as a whole would have voted for the same candidate, with or without my input

Q: Which chapter does Final Fantasy XV become linear?

WondercricketBefore Final Fantasy XV was released, the director stated that the game will become more linear later as you continue in the story IGN Final Fantasy XV has a gigantic open world to explore, but it doesn’t stay that way the entire time. Recently, director Hajime Tabata has discussed the fact ...

 
@murgatroid99 That's true in pretty much every country-wide election regardless of system, unless the system is "Only @murgatroid99's vote counts"
 
5:54 PM
@Sterno What I mean is that my vote counted for a lot less than the vote of someone in Pennsylvania, for example
 
The only way in which that is true is where you have a worse population/electoral vote ratio in your state.
But I suspect what you're saying is that you had the minority opinion in your state. That doesn't mean your vote is worth less. It just means you were doomed.
 
The outcome for certain states is only certain as long as people don't let the outcome being certain stop them from voting :P
 
No, I hold a strong majority opinion in my state. Which works out the same, in terms of vote impact
 
Delaware always goes blue but we keep building 55+ communities for some reason so I'm not taking anything for granted these days >_>
 
@murgatroid99 Oh, well, that's true too I guess.
 
5:57 PM
@TimStone The probability of the vote changing due to that effect is a lot lower in a "certain outcome" state than in a swing state
 
@TimStone The country would obviously be a better place if we'd just kill old people.
Where old is defined as "at least older than @Sterno"
 
Look, I'm bordered by New Jersey and my own state is full of old people. My roads are not safe
