@Lazers2.0 Dupe

Doom 2016 would be so much better with quicksaving
Perhaps Doom 3 and Quake 4 weren't the best, but at least you could hit F8 as soon as the first intro movie played and you'd immediately quickload the latest save file
that was amazing
 
I wish we'd quicksaved in 2015. give 2016 another shot

Q: FIFA 17 - Control Mappings between keyboard and joystick

AiyoyoI recently tried out FIFA 17 on my laptop and it works fine. But there seems to be a problem with the key mappings and controls when trying to play joystick vs keyboard. The defending settings for the joystick is forced to be the same as that of the keyboard. If I choose "legacy" defending on th...

Q: My game Minecraft is lagging when walking in high speed

KWA21BTHey so it is pretty obvious enough to walk in high speed, but actually, in the server when i was walking in high speed (no hacks, its just the ideas of staff), my game lags and then the FPS is going down. Do I have a dirty pc or a clean PC?

 
oh man our social committee
So there's a staff christmas party tonight, wasn't planning to go but a few folks were like "Bryan you should go!" so was thinking I might go. Take a look, you can't actually buy tickets at the door, and they stopped selling tickets on NOvember 2nd. I was like what.
Luckily I now have an excuse as for why I didn't go if people are like "zomg bryan we wanted to see you"
 
@Wipqozn I've got a company Christmas dinner that I'm going to tonight.
 
@Yuuki I never go to mine, but thought about going this year since a few people were asking me to go.
but the fact they stop selling tickets a month before is really stupid
 
@Wipqozn The fact that they sell tickets to it is also strange to me.
Ours just sent out an email a couple weeks ago asking for RSVPs.
 
@Yuuki Also the tickets are $20, which is another reason I had no intention of going
for $20 I'd rather meet up with the other devs and just buy pizza

I have my work Christmas dinner thing tonight. It's free, and we're a small company so it's pretty decent'
 
Oh shit nearby is implemented in my area for pogo
 
@Ash See, @Wipqozn is clearly the worst since his company makes employees pay for their Christmas dinner.
 
user15026
We did the escape room thing this afternoon, and then we get dinner tonight, and I also got to work 9-5 instead of 12-8 so I am pretty happy right now
 
@Unionhawk I think I saw that that feature got general release
 
Although we're doing ours at a restaurant, so it's entirely possible that I'll be paying for my meal, so I dunno.
 
9:36 PM
@murgatroid99 probably, because who cares about ohio
Other than presidential candidates
 
@Yuuki Basically
Also I don't think it's dinner
 
Last year my company had a Christmas lunch that was catered by Qdoba.
 
I think it's basically just a dance or something? I have no idea
 
@BanhMiDacBiet cc @GodEmperorDune
he will be jealous
 
9:39 PM
@BanhMiDacBiet cc @Sterno?
 
I'm more of a Chipotle guy
 
I've only had christmas things in one company (because this year I started working at my second ever actual employer) and we just went to a regular restaurant... of course there were just 10 of us
 
@BanhMiDacBiet cc @Unionhawk
 
@BanhMiDacBiet very jealous
 
last year my company had its holiday party the same day as my friend's birthday. i went to my friends party instead.
 
9:42 PM
@ash this is your daily kol reminder
 
ugh
so apparently one of the hour of codes we made were paid. wtf
 
> Reduced border incursion warnings if the troops are within their own borders.
 
@arda but that means you get money?
 
oh good, so now people won't get mad at me for having an army within my own border
 
@GodEmperorDune no
 
9:46 PM
@Dragonrage You are in violation of our peace treaty, your armies are encroaching on your lands.
 
In real life, massing armies on your side of a border with another country is often considered at least a minor act of aggression against that country
 
@murgatroid99 cc NorthKorea SouthKorea
 
@murgatroid99 "He's not going into Ukraine, all right?"

Q: BWAI Entropyze function doesn't work

Xitcod13I am playing starcraft broodwar against AI using BWAI. The entropyze function doesn't randomize AI in game I am always playing against the same AI pepe. Any ideas?

 
@Yuuki And now We Didn't Start the Fire is stuck in my head
 
9:51 PM
Oh nvm the english page was buggy and considering it a regular event, it was actually free.
 
unfortunately, you still cannot tell other civs to move their armies away from you
so they can still yell at you for having troops near them, but you can't tell them to move away from you
 
@Dragonrage Solution? War.
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune Sweet, I should have time to get some turns in between leaving work in a few and going to the Christmas party thing.
 
user15026
@KevinvanderVelden There are 15 of us total at my company, and I know not everyone is going tonight, so it will be a small thing. But hey, free dinner and an earlier day makes me happy
 
@Dragonrage are you sure? you can yell at them for the religious thing
(i.e. stop converting my cities)
 
9:57 PM
@murgatroid99 Marilyn Monroe
 
@KevinvanderVelden yea, ive tried, but there is no option to tell them to move their armies away from your cities
 
Also I'm reading a whitepaper by facebook. Facebook scale servers are weird "We mark volumes as read-only at the granularity of machines for operational ease"
Entire machines... granularity
 
Wow
 
If at work a server were to just die we'd be in disaster recovery mode, over there it's just a regular day
(or, well not yet disaster recovery mode, I believe we've got failover on that properly, not sure actually)
 
10:02 PM
@Dragonrage That's unfair though, they tell you to F off.
 
May 5 '14 at 19:09, by Origami Robot
This could be avoided if XKCD would just stop being so damn relevant.
 
I don't think any company actually replaces stuff at a granularity broader than entire machines
 
Speaking of that conversation, can we bring this plan into action now, also for britain:

@OrigamiRobot pff, if america was run by stack exchange it'd be running a lot better
 
@KevinvanderVelden Well now I got to see someone argue that SE is breaking free speech laws for banning people
THANKS KEVIN
 
10:05 PM
@Wipqozn may 5th 2014, when @OrigamiRobot still roamed the land
@MBraedley I should not be laughing at this as hard as I am
 
@Wipqozn Ah, yeah, that's always fun
 
@MBraedley That's a great video
 
@badp Man that's one fantastic room description
~ Memories ~
 
@MBraedley That's amazing
I'm at work and I can't stop laughing
 
@Wipqozn you have the power to bring it back
 
10:09 PM
Having done my job of entertaining the bridge, I now have to take an hour long trip downtown to get beer. In growlers; there are LCs that are closer.
 
OH! THE ORIGIN (or close to it) OF THE "every mod is @Ash's sockpuppet" THEORY!
May 5 '14 at 16:49, by Yuki
@fredley Essentially, every mod is one of @AshleyNunn's sockpuppets. Once you become a mod, you are deleted from SE and @AshleyNunn takes control of your account.
 
The cat of my parents is probably going to die tonight :(
She has a case of old age.
And doesn't eat or drink anymore today :(
 
that sucks
 
@Arperum :(
 
@Arperum Losing cats sucks, sorry to hear that
 
10:22 PM
I like how paper keys don't account for the risk of me being an idiot and forgetting my wallet in my pants before putting them is washing machine.
I also regret not investing in CAD, those things are plastic, they'd probably survive the intense washing.

Q: How do I avoid blocked kicks?

DCShannonNote: Everything in this question is about playing against the computer. I've been playing Madden regularly for more than a decade. In every previous edition, blocked kicks were so rare as to be essentially impossible. I don't think I had ever had a PAT attempt blocked in all that time. Now, my...

 
This is her like 1.5 hours ago.
 
@Arperum :(
 
@Arperum I'm sorry to hear that. At least it had a long (and probably happy) life :)
 
@arda She's 15 or something like that.

Q: Minecraft vanilla server: How to host from home?

DournbroodI've read a lot of threads on many sites relating to this question. Most of which seem to be answered, but alas, none of the other solutions have worked for me... What I'm asking for here is an in-depth description of how to run a vanilla server from home, and if applicable, having the server an...

 
\o/ The Dwarves had a sneaky update with the soundtrack.
 
@arda so, surprisingly everything survived, including ID, couple of CCs, my paper key (which is readable but is very fragile and dirty looking atm, will need to re write it. Better than being locked out, I guess), tons of cash in USD and TRY. Even my pendrive survived, wtf.
 
I wish the Tumbleweed badge came in multiples. I asked a question on SO over 20 minutes ago, and it has 2 views, and I think they were both me.
 
@murgatroid99 tumbleweed takes more than 20 minutes though
 
@GodEmperorDune 20 mins is more than enough for tumbleweed on SO though
 
10:41 PM
@GodEmperorDune I mean more that that's a general pattern with my SO questions. I only have one Tumbleweed badge, but I think I would qualify for about 5
 
@murgatroid99 100% of my SO questions are tumbleweeds
 
Several of mine technically wouldn't qualify, because they have one comment or one vote and nothing else
 
I completely forgot they made a peanuts movie

Q: How do I turn away wild Pokémon on Isle Abeens?

DanmakuGrazerMy Isle Abeens has had the same three wild Pokémon for more than a week now, despite me refusing to let them join multiple times. How do I turn them away so that other Pokémon may join?

 
Fairly confident I've never seen a trailer for this before
 
10:53 PM
@GodEmperorDune teaches you to write in answern't
 
@badp but i want someone to send me teh codez
 
Mouse scroll wheel inventor sez we're doin it rong
 
@GnomeSlice he wanted it to zoom?

11:09 PM
 
@badp dammit

Q: I can't find my Minecraft launcher

WilliamI cant find my Minecraft launcher I have it paid for my account and I bought it a year or 2 ago and I went on the Minecraft website tried to re download it but it said I have it.

 
11:39 PM
omfg
they banned wikipedia now. What's next, erdo, stackoverflow?
 
@arda wat
RIP @arda
maybe erdo didn't like jimmy wales begging him for donations
 
Good thing I torrented wikipedia
Some articles were already blocked (those of male and female reproductive organs, like, wtf), but the whole wiki getting banned thing is crazy
 
@arda How dare they host something that informative?
 
surely the best place to find adult content is wikipedia
(they also banned imgur over "adult content")
 
dammit @badp, now youtube is showing me all jontron videos as "recommended"
 
11:52 PM
@GodEmperorDune you know what you're watching this weekend!
Knowing is half the battle
 
@badp rebecca black will save me
 
jesus tits! Final Fantasy XV update is +9GB and A King's Tale: Final Fantasy XV is +2GB.....not sure why the latter is going to take 15 hours while the former is going to take 5
 
@badp I watched 11gb of jontron over mobile internet. I blame you.
 
@arda wat
 
With Final Fantasy XV, A Kings Take: Final Fantasy XV and Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV what order should i play/watch them in?
 
11:54 PM
@GodEmperorDune oh you wanted some music you could've said so sooner
 
also ffs I just managed to cut my finger somehow. I hate razors. brb/
