I think we should hug and make out.
 
Let's skip the hug
 
Actually that joke doesn't work if people aren't fighting
 
Make out party!
 
I can't wait to play DS3 when it's new and shiny
 
@Fluttershy i think they have a different name for those
 
12:02 AM
i hope the PC version doesn't suck
 
@Sterno I can't wait for you to not play it when it's new and shiny

Q: What is the total amount of damage dealt by poison spells?

DragonrageLike the title says, I wondering what the total amount of damage that can be dealt by each level of poison spell is.

 
@Sterno For five minutes.
And then never touch it again.
 
when is it appropriate to add synonyms for a tag?
 
Never.
Darkest Dungeon time!
Also, I was joking about the never thing.
 
12:10 AM
@Fluttershy i figured you were, which is why im still waiting for answer
 
user15026
@Dragonrage When there's demonstrable need?
 
@Dragonrage Which synonym are you thinking of?
 
@Wipqozn coc for clash-of-clans. dont know if it is needed, just was wondering about using common abbr. for synonyms
 
user15026
I don't think it's necessary, tbh
 
Some people are actually attempting to patch the American Fire Emblem Fates to re-add that which they deem censorship.
 
12:21 AM
@Sterno Singapore is so small that the game isn't listing hospitals - it's listing individual departments. "You have a splitting headache... do you want to see the department of pathology?"
 
Which, yes, includes the drugging, and rubbing mini-game.
 
People are insane. There were people who were really, REALLY mad that Xenoblade Chronicles X made it so if you tried to equip the 13 year old girl party member with the skimpy swimsuits they're less revealing
 
this person says that the particular gay character's trait is fainting around cute girls; he thought he would quote-unquote become one to help her quote-unquote train being around cute girls without fainting
 
@twobugs I'm totally okay with that.
 
which is still super shitty -- you're still drugging her without her knowledge
 
12:22 AM
I hadn't even realized they had done that.
 
and it also fails completely
 
I guess the really upsetting part of it is these are like anime tropes that I'm told developers feel like they have to put in if they want to guarantee sales
 
But it didn't stop me from giving Elma and Hope bikinis.
 
@Frank Yeah, I think it's reasonable
 
@twobugs Otakus are probably unfortunately a big demographic.
 
12:23 AM
@Dragonrage hmmm we do have , so a tag like isn't unprecedented. Best bet is to make a meta requesting it, and saying why you want it. Aka let the community decide.
 
For some reason they also removed the bust slider from female character creation, which I don't really understand, but whatever
 
and google search for 'coc game" turns up nothing but clash of clans results
 
I mean, I totally get people being upset that this scene was in Fates to begin with. It's really messed up.
 
@twobugs This is one place where localization matters.
Sometimes I think Nintendo goes too far, but that's just my opinion. I'd rather watch anime with subs, but that doesn't mean I think everyone should have to.
 
I mean the whole scene is stupid to begin with. They could have done it in much more reasonable ways
Like maybe come up with gender swapped sprites for all the main characters and have them all hallucinate or something
 
12:28 AM
DS2 is making me want to play Bloodborne again
 
Crap, I need to make progress on Undertale
So I can get back to DS2
 
As an ESL person, I can understand the wish to read a book in its original language, without the translators' interference
I guess the real issue is not that the scene was removed, but that it ever existed in the first place.
 
Yeah, basically.
And it sounds like developers feel pressured to put this stuff in because it sells
 
eh
if they want to make a genderswap segment, they should go ahead and do that
 
Right, that's one thing, but the whole drugging and converting a gay character is just "wat"
 
12:31 AM
I dunno about the conversion (blah blah blah consentient adults blah blah blah but unconsentient drugging blah blah blah)

Q: Can I host a game server behind a VPN?

user140092I'm considering getting a VPN for my PC to keep my data encrypted. I have tried doing this before but had no choice but the switch back because people could not connect to my game servers (Such as Minecraft, Gmod, etc.). I made these servers through port forwarding and whatnot. My question is if ...

 
I wonder how much people would flip out at an actual genderswap segment, which would inevitably result in reversed stereotypes and gender roles and trigger the fuck out of everybody
AT LEAST IT WOULDN'T REQUIRE SPIKING ANYBODY'S DRINK
 
From what I understand there's a girl character who is afraid of men (sadly, this is a stock character type). She's a lesbian. You trick her into drinking a drug that makes all men look like women and vice-versa. She falls in love with female you, and then when the drug wears off is like "wow i still love u"
@badp Yeah see I think that could be funny and goofy and significantly less stupid
And get the same basic idea (character who is afraid of $GENDER is able to overcome their fears)
But that might mean less anime humping for you, the player, which is NOT OKAY
 
apparently here though she's "afraid" of women, not men
as in, she gets so hot and bothered around them that she gets incapacitated?
I dunno, I haven't actually played or read through this and I don't know japanese.
 
I don't know either, I was told she is afraid of men or something
Regardless, Undertale
 
12:36 AM
@twobugs yes. Are you streaming?
 
I can
 
"no" is an okay answer.
if you are I'm watching
 
"No" is never okay
 
@twobugs Okay. No.
I mean, no, okay.
 
Hm, Undertale is not launching
 
12:37 AM
no? okay...
 
Context: My city
 
I see you are affected by color-inverted letterboxing
 
Dammit Steam
 
@twobugs did you install a Steam beta version?
 
I click launch, it says "Preparing to launch..." and then that Window disappears
Possibly
 
12:40 AM
you should be able to go back to an older version of Undertale
though I can launch the game no problem
 
I'll try to launch old version
 
no wait I can totally repro the problem
 
I bet my Steam friends are pissed I have launched Undertale 10 times in the last 5 seconds

It's weird. All the stuff I'm seeing for this is really old
Like, people reporting this back in November
 
@twobugs just opt out of the steam beta
 
Yeah, sounds like the best idea anyway
I DID IT

Q: Ho to teleport an an armor stand to a player who just got a kill, then take it away

Q: How to report disruptive players?

BatophobiaSo I was in a game where one player did nothing but me and the third player off cliffs until the team had no lives. I tried to find a menu or something that would let me report the player but found nothing. Can I report team-killing players or avoid known trolls in any way?

 
I changed the game it listed him as playing to Five Nights at Freddy's World for his Open World Wednesday stream which starts in 2 hours. I wonder if he'll notice.

I went to bed around 2AM. I have not been this sleepy in a while. 7hours sleep >> 6 hours of sleep
 
Wait @ardaozkal thinks big data is 50,000 rows? How cute
@Arperum I may have done the same thing
 
@KevinvanderVelden HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
@KevinvanderVelden I think you forgot like at least 6 zeroes.
 
14 hours ago, by ardaozkal
I can do stuff with bigdata (of 50,000) rather fast.
And context
 
If you are doing something with 50k rows and it takes more time than your data transmission you have a serious issue.
 
8:41 AM
Well, assuming it's simple stuff I agree =p
 
WOrst I've done was a specific thing that involved a cross join between a 350k rows table with itself. That was ungood
But that was a terrible idea anyway. But I was forced to do it. I got it down to ~1.5h-2h runtime after a shitton of optimisations.
 
Fun times
 
Also worth noting: the DB server was not exactly recent. Like SQL server 2008 at best

Q: Do cats bring gifts according to their power?

JohnI noticed that cats have different power levels and I wondered if this affects the quality of gifts. So, do cats with a high power level give me better gifts?

 
Also name of the wind is really good. Also really evil for making it suddenly somewhere between 2 and 3 am when I was trying to sleep >:(
 
8:50 AM
@KevinvanderVelden add 3-6 zeroes to that, pbi as still at same speed (load speed is crazy, but messing with it is fast)
 
Doubtful unless you're doing simple fetches
That's just about the only thing that's in O(n) over the number of rows
 
@KevinvanderVelden Your own desktop computer has logs that probably exceeds that by several orders of magnitude
 
Updates that don't affect indices as well
@PrivatePansy I have enabled debug logging for skyrim and forgotten to turn it off. It has that easily
(Skyrim debug logging is on the orders of megabytes of text per minute)

Guys! Guys!
As soon as I beat DS2 I'll be sharing my awesome stories from TOME4
I consider it a victory if it gets even one person to start playing.
 
@Sterno Yes, yes you do
Maybe you should share your stories of Galactic Hitman instead
 
I don't own that game.
 
You should probably buy it, I hear it's great
 
@Sterno ...what
You're a monster
We should all chip in some money to buy @Sterno Galactic Hitman
and by "we" I mean @KevinvanderVelden
 
1:15 PM
Seems legit
But I'm at work right now soooo
 
The hardest part of Dark Souls games is choosing a weapon
 
@Sterno From the sidebar, what is TOME4?
 
Tales of Maj'Eyal
I guess technically TOME4 is the engine
 
Roguelike
 
Well, time to play some more Tomb Raider (2013)

Wherein I was tortured to death by the Avatar of Bearness.
 
@Sterno I assume it was a bear as in the animal and not as in the really hair porn star variant?

Oh, good. I was just disarmed by a bear. Now I'm slap-fighting a 800 hp bear for 26 per slap.
@NateKerkhofs Well, the graphics are pretty low-quality, so it's hard to be sure.
Why didn't anyone tell me DS2 was so fun, by the way?
I blame @Wipqozn
I also blame @GnomeSlice
Apr 15 '15 at 17:00, by Sterno
I still blame @GnomeSlice for me being unable to see anything but the words "Bloodboner" on the screen whenever I die in Bloodborne
 
@Sterno Pretty sure I talked about how fun it was
 
One thing I don't like about Tomb Raider for PC is how they use the action symbol for QTEs, not the key like they do on consoles
 
1:27 PM
@NateKerkhofs unless you play with a controller
iirc
 
Dec 18 '14 at 18:39, by StrixVaria
I kind of want DS2. I think I would like it more than I liked DS1. I wanted to like DS1 a lot.
@StrixVaria How'd that pan out for you?
 
@Chippies Could be. I prefer to play with KBM though because of the shooting
 
@NateKerkhofs same
but it makes sense that they didn't make icons for every rebindable key on the keyboard
although making a font shouldn't be too much to ask for such a big company...
 
@Chippies If you do it right, you don't even have to
yeah, exactly
just make a font
 
Mar 24 '14 at 13:29, by Wipqozn
but seriously, it's fantastic. You should buy it. I've done almost nothing but play DS2 this weekend.
 
1:29 PM
or even don't use a font, just make a general icon with a variable letter inside
 
Damn it. You did.
 
@NateKerkhofs yeah, but you'd still need a font that matches the look
 
Oh
> There is an option on PC to tell you what buttons to press. While the QTE symbols still appear, at the bottom of the screen it will tell you what button to press, and it will even tell you correctly from your own key bindings It's in the Gameplay Options menu if I recall correctly, and it's called "Show Button Hints."
 
@Sterno how come this is the first time I'm hearing that someone is enjoying DS2 so much?
 
1:30 PM
Reading the transcript helped me figure out why I never played DS2 at release. I was on my crazy stupid project that was making me work like 90 hours a week
 
I have seen people talk about playing it, but no one ever said that it was great
 
I've only played a few hours but I like it a lot so far.
Pursuer pissed me off but whatever, that's behind me
 
@Sterno That sound sterrible
 
@fredley This looks amazing
 
@Sterno Sounds like major overtime pay.
 
1:35 PM
@Frank I'm salaried.
It doesn't happen too much here.
 
@Sterno Time due?
I don't get overtime pay, but i get extra vacation time.
 
@twobugs He became super easy once I got a weapon that could actually hurt him and realized all you really have to do is roll into his attacks
 
Here's how overtime works in America (from my experience): You do it. You don't get paid.
 
@Sterno As am I. But I still get overtime once I'm beyond 40 hours.
 
@Frank Damn socialists and your Fire Emblem!
 
1:36 PM
@Wipqozn At the time, we had a system where you could bank overtime as vacation up to 40 hours per year. Now we just have unlimited[1] time off.
 
On call a couple years ago was fun.
I walked out with five weeks of banked time.
 
@Sterno Yeah, I just kept getting nearly 1shot and I was hitting him for like 80 cause I refused to use a better weapon
I did it though
 
[1]: Unlimited time off isn't truly "unlimited", since if you never went to work you'd get fired.
 
I'm a luddite.
 
I restarted DS2 last night and got to the point that previous took me about 8 hours in 1 hour
I also rolled a Knight instead of Deprived, which made the early game ridiculously easy
Now I'm torn between upgrading the broadsword, which I like the attack speed of, versus the bastard sword, which I like the damage of but feels a little slow
 
1:37 PM
There was a workplace.SE thread where some guy was like "Our workplace lets us do four 10 hour days per week, so they give us less vacation time since we get a day of vacation every week"
 
@twobugs That's...so wrong.
 
@twobugs I could see that being valid if they tracked vacation by "days" instead of hours
 
@Sterno In Dark Souls the bastard sword was one of the best weapons in the game all around. Dunno how it is in 2.
@Sterno Does anyone actually do this? It seems hilariously exploitable
 
That's usually why holiday pay is tracked as a percentage of your salary.
 
@twobugs Everyone online says it's pretty awesome. It just feels a little clunky to me
@twobugs No idea.
 
1:39 PM
I want to do DEX in DS2 because I basically always do STR in Souls games
 
I also killed that big red dragon in Heide Tower last night by plunking him with 50 arrows like a coward
 
So I'll probably stick with the katanas and whatnot cause I'm a huge loser
 
@Sterno Dragon...?
 
And got the Alva Armor, which everyone says is awesome, but I already miss my Elite Knight set
 
@Sterno Killing a dragon like that is a souls game tradition
 
1:40 PM
Oh, probably some first sin stuff
 
@Frank is that the same as days off though?
 
The crew members in Sunless Sea have fates far worse than the redshirts on Star Trek
 
@Wipqozn Clearly you should upgrade and play again
 
At least redshirts don't get eaten by their captain...
 
@KevinvanderVelden 2% of your pay usually works out to a week off.
You working only four days, but still 40 hours, has no bearing on total time off.
 
1:41 PM
From Soft should give me a kickback. Clearly my intensely popular twitch channel has led to a resurgence in Scholar of the First Sin sales
 
@Sterno been thinking about it
Just to make you feel bad
 
@Frank aah it works different for you guys then. Over here you get 20 paid days off per year minimum if you work fulltime
 
@KevinvanderVelden Four weeks off is nice.
Two weeks is minimum here.
 
If you work, say 80% (4 days a week) you get 80% off that
 
@KevinvanderVelden It's based on hours worked, but I don't know the exact rule. And full time is 38h/week

But that 80% is per hour, not per day or some weird thing
 
@KevinvanderVelden 20 paid days off is like if you've been working at the same place for 20+ years here
 
So if you do a 40h/week you get an extra day off every four weeks.
 
(Not joking)
What I usually see is 10 days + an extra day per year of seniority
 
@twobugs yeah another of the aspects you guys get screwed =p
I've got 25 days (assuming I worked fulltime, I don't)
 
I get 20 days. Plus whatever holidays are required by law.
 
1:45 PM
I get 15 days.
 
@Wipqozn I don't. I'd flub it up 10 times in a row and get roasted every time on the way there. Then at least once time while attacking I'd accidentally roll off the edge of the tower to my death or something. 2 hours later, I'd finally kill it.
 
@Sterno Yes
 
Those white knight guys around Heidi Tower are the worst
Apparently in the vanilla game they leave you alone. In SOTFS they all go aggro once you kill the dragon rider
They have super fast attacks, can attack backward just about, and never seem to lose poise
Also, does anyone else feel like summoning people to help you with bosses is cheating?
 
@Sterno yes
 
I do. I'm a big dork who refuses to use anything but what I feel is "fair"
 
1:49 PM
if you can't defeat the boss solo, you don't deserve to defeat it
 
There are people who call even normal stuff cheating though which is stupid
Like blocking
 
summon people on your second playthrough for fun times, but first should be solo, imho
but I don't have fun with random strangers, so unless I am summoning a friend, I'd rather just solo
 
I've never co-oped in a Souls game actually
 
I did a couple bosses with @GnomeSlice in ds1
 
Apparently in 2 there are NPCs you can summon and the only way to progress their sidequests is to beat the boss with them alive
 
1:51 PM
we failed a lot and then I soloed
 
@Sterno I only ever summons on replays. Summoning folks on your first playthrough defeats the purpose of the game imo.
In fact even then I rarely summon on replays....just takes a lot of fun out of the game.
 
I feel a little different about summoning NPCs
 
Apparently Nintendo is still keeping the NX specs and, well, everything a closely guarded secret. I get that they want to do official announcements for hype and marketing reasons, but if you aren't even telling devs the specs for a console you MIGHT release this year...
 
I haven't done it in DS2, but I think in DS1 you could only summon them one time anyway
 
I think I summoned someone on the Bell Gargoyle fight in DS1 because that was just dumb
I already fought the maneaters, I'm not doing it again as the first boss
 
1:54 PM
@twobugs sounds pretty common for Nintendo consoles to not have games until a year after release at best
 
@Chippies Not really? Nintendo had some good launches in the past
 
@twobugs yeah, couple 1st party titles at launch
what else tho?
 
Nintendo had some good launches of nintendo games in the past
 
Wii and Wii U are the only ones I can see as being a real problem (and NES I guess but they were reviving the console market)
 
@twobugs Apparently there's a rumor a sequel to Xenoblade is being developed on the NX.
 
1:55 PM
@Chippies Usually some solid 3rd party games, too
Gamecube had Rogue Squadron at launch
Still one of the best looking games of that gen
 
@twobugs back in those days, Nintendo actually was still pretty high in the console hierarchy
 
You can't just say they never had good launches and then handwave away good launches :P
 
@twobugs Same with Starfox Adventures
 
Wii U actually launched with some good third party support
 
@twobugs well, I never said they never had good launches, I said it's pretty standard for them to not have many games for the first year or so :P
and I was mostly referring to Wii and newer consoles
my netflix machine WiiU almost seems like it was a waste of money
I'll laugh if the new zelda game is an NX exclusive
