does anyone here play warframe?
 
> Sherlock Holmes and Silent Bob
Get on it, Kevin Smith!
 
> CAUTION: REBECCA BLACK LINK (Discount code for SUPERHOT)
 
@Sterno that was something that I really hoped for. damn you.
 
@MBraedley You probably run around telling children there's no Santa Claus too.
 
6:03 PM
There's not
 
Superhot is one of those games that feels like they came up with a great mechanic and then made a demo with it
 
@Sterno No, I like protecting my nieces and nephews childhood innocence.
 
That is exactly what they did. The website demo.
 
@GnomeSlice they literally did though.
Also @GnomeSlice, did you check out Portal Knights?
 
Hadn't heard of that one, actually. haven't been following a lot of sandbox survival/building games lately
looks interesting
gtg back to work though
 
6:07 PM
@GnomeSlice it is by 505.
If you don't think that you know them, you should check this page out: 505games.com/fullproductrange , you probably heard of at least one of the games they published.
 
Why is SUPERHOT so popular all of a sudden?
 
Because it's released in a bigger than just demo form
 
@StrixVaria The prototype was nice, so the game got popular
 
@Unionhawk Oh, ok.
 
@ardaozkal 505 is a publisher
 
6:11 PM
I guess that it is a good game, so people liked it.
 
Wow $25?
 
@twobugs it is <released> by 505. I stated that it was "published" by 505 on the line under that.
 
That's also a debate point.
$25 for ~3 hours of gameplay I hear.
 
@ardaozkal I mean, this isn't the first time you've conflated the two. It's a pretty big distinction.
 
Isn't 505 the developer of Payday 2 also?
 
6:13 PM
3 hours of completely unique gameplay for $25 is fine with me, but that's going to come down to your own subjective judgment
 
intentionally annoying @twobugs
 
@Unionhawk yeah, and also Terraria on Mobile and Console
Also sniper elite series.
 
lol that got star'd? XD
 
@Unionhawk Well, you aren't really succeeding. I'm just pointing out an important distinction to try and prevent confusion.
 
Sniper Elite. The finest in Nazi Murder Simulators.
 
6:26 PM
@StrixVaria The game was just released...

Q: I need help with my custom mob command!

Connor HayesSo I have this command here. It's supposed to spawn a wither skeleton with a custom head and some gear. Errors: "Data Parsing Failed: Unbalanced curly brackets" Command: /summon Skeleton ~0 ~1 ~0 {Equipment:[{id:iron_sword,tag:{Unbreakable:1,ench:[{id:19,lvl:2},{id:16,lvl:1}]}},{},{},{}, {id:sku...

Beekeeping

Proposed Q&A site for anyone interested in caring for, maintaining, learning, making hives, or starting a colony of bees.

Currently in definition.

 
@twobugs aw
 
You know, I thought it'd be easier than this to get quotes for 4 computer configurations based around the same base model.

Q: Blighttown or Great Wolf Sif?

Anonymous AnonymousOk, I'm recently started to play Dark Souls my first time. I am playing as a Pyromancer with Hollow-Shield and Rapier+7. I am about SL 25 or so... So I fought me trough the Depth and killed the Gaping Dragon, and got the Key to Blighttown. I don't like Blighttown really much: Dark, Green and Toxi...

 
6:40 PM
tosses a NullBaconException
 
@Powerlord I didn't realize that there was a new "full" game separate from the demo that has existed for years.
 
SUPERHOT is out! Share it! Like it! Shoot some red guys! http://store.steampowered.com/app/322500/ https://t.co/m4lBfr8e82
According to Twitter, that was posted just over 21 hours ago
 
I can't get "SUPER HOT" out of my head
 
oh, it isn't that expensive in turkey
12$
 
I find watching others (or myself, watching last nights' footage) play the game is just about as fun as playing it
 
6:43 PM
I blame Stan Beeman
 
What does The Americans have to do with anything?
 
@Sterno (Why yes, I have been watching The Americans, why do you ask?)
I've only just started season 2 of The Americans.
 
Oh, hey
Although I'm not sure if that's the same discount that's currently going.
I am unclear since I think I'd have to put the coupon code into steam to find out
Pretty sure it's unlimited use though
 
It's actually a really fun game
Very unique experience
 
"It's the most innovative shooter I've played in years."
 
6:51 PM
I've just read the steam stuff
I'm pretty sure I played something like that before
(no, not braid) :P
 
@djsmiley2k maybe its demo?
@Sterno It's the most innovative shooter I've played in years.
 
Nah nothing like what this looked like.
 
It's still 3.5 hours before I go home and I want to leave so badly.
Despite not being here for the last 1.5 days prior to this morning.
 
Subtotal: 29,83 TL, about 10.01$
 
I just found out you can cut bullets with a katana
 
6:54 PM
Is it worth it?
aka. Does it have anything to do after story, except than replaying?
 
Oh yeah, it's CAUTION: REBECCA BLACK LINK (Friday), isn't it?
 
@Powerlord the discount? no
*the second
^real
 
I wonder how many people use a script to warn them when a link is to Rebecca Black songs.
...and who actually thought that was a link to a Rebecca Black song, instead of say... this:
 
@Powerlord I'm using a better one.
gist.github.com/ardaozkal/9caa68fc1155a953472a < just blocks it from youtube rather than chat
 
@ardaozkal Yeah, well I had to choose which one to fake and someone had conveniently linked the proper text to use for it.
 
7:07 PM
Okay, so some of you guys use Github, right?
 
http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/256801/whats-the-difference-between-bug-and-glitch
Here is a really hot question.
 
errr wtf
knights of the round mastered before a bloody mime materia :/
 
8
Q: What's the difference between "Bug" and "Glitch"?

JohnI heard about 2 terms defining a game error: "Bug" and "Glitch". What's the difference between them?

 
@John It's the most innovative question I've seen in years.
 
7:11 PM
@StrixVaria Right?
 
@ardaozkal Challenges
@djsmiley2k What game? I've honestly never even seen anything like this
 
@twobugs Wish I could reecall
 
@twobugs It's the most innovative shooter I've played in years.
 
@ardaozkal Oh, you're doing that thing again.
 
*stops super hot meme*
 
7:22 PM
Huh. User I don't agree with hasn't had any activity in a month. Yay! Passive-aggressively winning at the internet!
 
> I've created a bug for it here.
-- one of the other devs in my office
I assume she meant she created a bug entry for it in TFS... but it still sounds funny.
 
@Powerlord its called job security. gotta make bugs to fix so you have something to do

Q: Are gifts affected by what cats played with?

JohnIf cats play with a good item, like a tent, will bring greater gifts than ones that played with a plastic bag? Is the gift size influenced by what the cats played with?

 
@Dragonrage At least it's not bug bounties.
 
@Powerlord Ask for a budget to implement a fix tracker in addition to the bug tracker.
Following items are verified still working, requiring a bug.
 
7:31 PM
If your code doesnt have a bug in it somewhere, it is probably a very small project
 
@Frank been working our bug bounty for a while, it's not perfect but we're at least getting rid of the low hanging fruit
 
@badp Did you write yourself a minivan yet?
 
@Powerlord some people have been trying to.
 
Anyone here done any contracting work in the UK ?
 
this is not how you perlin noise
 
7:44 PM
i should go 6-0 on fantasy lcs this weekend
 
Just killed my first boss :)
 
@ardaozkal Was it a pointy haired one?
 
@SaintWacko is that a pun, or are you actually talking about the game?
 
@ardaozkal It was a reference to the comic posted just a minute ago
 
ahh I see
 
8:02 PM
Huh, I guess the Naruto movies are now on Steam. That's interesting.
 
Movies... on steam?
That's a thing?
 
It has been for a little while.
 
@djsmiley2k yeah
 
You got the Mad Max movies for preordering Mad Max.
 
Yeah, they've been slowly adding them for a while but now it's gaining Steam
 
8:03 PM
Interesting
 
ha cha cha
 
Kung Fury is on there, though it's also on Youtube.
 
@twobugs No. Stop.
 
@MadMAxJr free to play was there before that
But it wasn't stream only, first stream only was Kung Fury afaik
 
$4 for 1080p streaming isn't bad I guess
That seems to be the going rate
 
8:08 PM
UPDATE clock SET tick_rate=tick_rate*2
 
VidAngel does it for $2, but it's got some weirdass hoops to jump through
 
I saw someone mention "add as a link" in another topic, so my first thought was "add as a Zelda"
 
hmmm how many knights of the round to take out ruby I wonder
/me sleeps
even at 3x speed it's slow :(
 
So, I found out that the flash drive attached to my keychain is no longer working.
On a side note: Getting a Flash drive without a cover was a bad idea.
Particularly one that I kept in my pockets
 
flash on keychains isn't great either :/
 
8:20 PM
ugh powershell why are you so full of fail
 
Nintendo seriously just emailed me to advertise Amiibos by saying they can be used in Super Mario Maker.
 
I can't tell if it's either lua or imapfilter that's incredibly annoying to work with
 
@GodEmperorDune By the way, if you run into instructions for fixing the Windows 10 Start Menu that mention running a Powershell command DO NOT DO IT
 
Remove-WebVirtualDirectory has an OPTIONAL parameter called Application. when i don't provide the parameter, it prompts me to provide a value. Passing null throws an error. But the virtual directory is NOT in an application
so add ANYTHING causes it to fail with a NOT FOUND error
ffs powershell
sometimes i think you are buggier than PHP
@Powerlord nah this is reconfiguring a site in IIS
 
lua is super barebones, bring your own batteries for bloody everything, and the base types are as comfortable and convenient to use as a clogged WC
 
8:23 PM
Microsoft is one of the few companies I know who made a change that caused a command that used to fix a bug instead hose over all applications of the same type.
In this case, used to fix the Start Menu not launching and now stops over all Modern apps from working
 
@Powerlord so long as Settings works...
 
microsoft annoys me so much in so many things
 
@badp Settings is a Modern app...
 
Sigh
 
why is there a "binn" directory in MS sql server management studio that holds the binaries instead of "bin"?
 
8:25 PM
(Modern being what they're calling Metro these days)
 
@Powerlord it's working here in the technical preview
er
 
why didn't I sense ruby before starting with the KotR ? D:
 
insider build
 
@badp Yeah, well I installed Project Spark from the Windows 10 Store and the next time I booted the Start Menu no longer worked.
Nor did Search
 
why does 80% of powershell sort of work, but the other 20% so buggy that it prevents you from doing anything meaningful
 
8:26 PM
@Powerlord b-b-but muh CONTAINERSâ„¢
 
@GodEmperorDune Because different Cmdlets are provided by different parts of Microsoft? :P
 
@Powerlord like the fact that the recurse parameter in a delete folder cmdlet DOES NOT ACTUALLY RECURSE
 
Project Spark has prevented you from running things that are not Project Spark.
 
and technet is full of unhelpful bullshit
> -Application <String>
The name of the application that hosts the virtual directory.
no "BTW, if your virtual directory is not under a web application, you can't delete it"
because its much more likely that you would add a virtual directory underneath a webapp in your site instead of directly under the site root
damn i might need to make an SO question about this
 
They probably expect you to use appcmd.exe to do it
 
8:33 PM
it would be nice to mention that
 
Woooooooooo it's dead.
 
@djsmiley2k NOOOOOO... poor it.
 
@Powerlord it tried to eat me!
 
@djsmiley2k
 
@GodEmperorDune Umm... TechNet's docs that you linked earlier says that -Application is optional... and also lists -Site as an optional arg
 
8:36 PM
lol
 
what happens when a message that has a is starred?
 
So ruby down, let stry emerald :D
 
does it get turned to plain text, removed, or included?
 
The time limit on this might kill me, I don't know.
 
@Powerlord but if i leave the application parameter out of the command it stops the powershell script and prompts me to enter a value for application
 
8:37 PM
yey starbate
wow that's fugly
 
This isn't starbait, I promise.
 
yeah i did it for you
it's fugly
so i undid it :D
 
@Dragonrage ok
 
gets included as a tag.
 
@djsmiley2k ty. i was kind of curious. it does look weird
 
8:39 PM
uyou've seen now?
 
i saw it
 
kv cool
 
okay I may be actually sick now
 
@GnomeSlice Are you still at work?
 
so, i currently have no bugs assigned to me to fix, so im stealing other people's
 
8:39 PM
i just took like a 15 minute continuous grey shit
@Powerlord yeah although I'm done
 
@GnomeSlice have you been eating a lot of newspaper?
 
hmmm is it possible to kill emerald with KotR in the 20 min timer? D:
/me is about to find out
yey for final attack xD
5min 30 to go.
 
@GodEmperorDune No, which is why it's a bit concerning
 
2 'minutes' to go
:/
still not ded yet.
 
@GnomeSlice was it really solid?
 
8:42 PM
Yeaaah, with 1:40 on the clock \o/
 
@djsmiley2k Are you using an emulator on super fast forward or something?
 
PS4 version, has 3x speed, from the PC port.
 
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck, I don't think any of our RFQs for new PCs included DVD drives, which is a problem since all of them are 2U rackmount computers.
And the 5.25" drive location is going to be occupied by a hot-swap bay.
 
@MBraedley ouch
 
@MBraedley Why do you want [REDACTED] drives on what are presumably servers?
 
8:46 PM
@GodEmperorDune nop
 
@Powerlord to watch movies, of course
@GnomeSlice hmm, no idea then
 
haha thanks doctor
 
Most modern OSes can be installed from bootable USB drives.
 
@Powerlord Not servers. Some of them are Windows workstations running on a classified network. Therefore, re-writable media = bad
 
well one time i didn't poop for several days. when it finally came out it was really gray and solid and took a very long time
 
8:47 PM
So classified, every post in here is about to be [REDACTED]
 
but that doesn't seem to be the issue here
 
@Powerlord how will you identify servers without DVD drives? The best way to identify is RDPing and ejecting the dvd drive
 
The problem can be solved by buying a bunch of external DVD drives, if necessary. It's just going to make life a bit harder.
 
wtf
sold all my materia
most of my items
maxed out around 4.5billion gil
nmeed 9.9 billion
 
@djsmiley2k Not 4,294,967,295?
 
8:50 PM
@djsmiley2k ... why do you need 9.9B gil?
 
Almost did an integer overflow there. Whoops.
 
@Powerlord ints are for wimps, use long longs or doubles
 
@MBraedley ...do I need to point out that in C on x86 systems, long is only 32-bit?
@MBraedley You're a bit late on that fix.
 
@Powerlord I was fixing it as you hit enter

Q: Puzzle/platformer using glitching to solve impossible puzzles

PantsI was browsing through some hot network questions when I came across this question. @user2357112's comment on the first question made me think about how cruel (read: super fun) it would be to create an almost Saw-esque puzzle game where the only way to get out of the seemingly impossible traps is...

 
@Lazers2.0 Hmm, another game-rec question.
 
@Powerlord @Dragonrage used flag as off topic. It was super effective. The enemy game-rec question was closed.
 
@Dragonrage I beat you to it... I was the first one to vote to close it.
In fact, I'm the only one to flag it so far.
 
@Powerlord i think you mean vote. you can vtc.
 
I wanted to be nice and give him a tiny shred of hope.
 
9:00 PM
i flagged it as soon as it came up. well before lazers posted it here
and i dont see how you can "beat" me to voting to close it, considering i cant vtc here yet
 
it's not a contest
 
@GnomeSlice to be a contest, both parties have to be able to participate
 
The user has put up a 'I'm sorry, what do I do?' comment. USE THIS CHANCE TO CONSTRUCTIVELY ADVISE THE USER. Don't tell them not to post stupid questions.

Q: How effective is the magnet ability in Geometry Race?

EnigmaThe second most expensive ship has Magnet + Coins while the most expensive ship has Coins + 2x + Battery (IIRC). Not sure if it's more prudent to save up for the most expensive one and skip the 2nd but the magnet ability sounds like it could be fairly useful and effective. This is the game in ...

 
@MadMAxJr i was in the process of giving constructive criticism, but then i realized i didn't know everything relating to the process
 
9:06 PM
I just channeled the spirit of @Unionhawk typing that. Damn.
 
does self deleting a question have any negative side effects?
 
/me loads up on all materia
 
or would it prevent the flurry of downvotes that is sure to come, preventing him from getting a question ban?
 
Deleting a question in bad status remains as a count against you for having bad content that may need fixing if you have too many bad questions
If it's voted closed though, he should be okay. Still advise them to fix the question if at all possible.
 
@MadMAxJr how does one fix a game-rec question?
 
9:09 PM
Refine the question so that it isn't a recommendation but perhaps a more literal yes/no question. Example: "I've looked up these games. Do any of these feature X mechanic?" Shows the user did their homework and simply doesn't have knowledge of the game content while trying to reach the same goal.
If they narrow down the range of possible answers from their question and make it more objective instead of subjective, they could possibly save the question.
I think I'm using that phrase correctly.. Objective is well-understood truth, right?
 
Ahh, I LOVE steam group administration.
 
yes
 
Someone does something racist, I ban them, and they add me in a few mins and swear at me.
 
well its something that is factual, as opposed to opinionated
 
@MadMAxJr I am so proud to have that as my legacy
 
9:13 PM

Q: PCI Passthrough via DosBox

Alex GeorgiouIs it possible to install specific PCI soundcard drivers in a Windows 98SE operating system installed over DosBox? I'm interested because I have an old soundcard which works perfectly with Windows 98SE. What about the performance of this "system? Thanks!

 
9:14 PM
MAX OVERBANDWIDTH.
 
@Lazers2.0 why are you using windows 98? you do realize that this is 2016, right?
also, that seems like it should be like on superuser or something not here
or am i wrong?
 
@Dragonrage dosbox
And yes, s/he should be using superuser
 
grrrrrrrrrrrrr, appcmd is not working either
dammit virtual directory, its time to GTFO
 
why can i only flag for moving to meta and not to another site?
 
@Dragonrage Only mods can migrate to other websites.
Because moving the other websites is rare (except on main 3-4 sites of SE, they have migration paths though, try it (don't complete flag- just open dialog and check) on SO).
 
9:20 PM
@Dragonrage It sounds like he installed Windows 98SE in DOSBox for some reason.
 
@Powerlord i actually have a computer that runs windows 98 at my house. last time i booted it, it still ran, but was unbearably slow
 
HA! found it
stupid weird quotes
 
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention something silly today.
Schools are closed where I live today because snowplows still hadn't gotten to side streets.
It stopped snowing around noonish yesterday.
 
how much snow is down?
 
9:26 PM
I'm looking for the exact numbers, but I think it was between 10 and 12 inches (25 to 30 cm)
Local news says 9 to 13 inches... that's even less precise than my estimate was.
 
maybe it varies?
and so their estimate is really acturate?
 
@Powerlord I think, growing up, school was only ever closed 6 or 7 times, any that was mostly due to extreme wind chill.
 
Property manager is getting a notice to quit form for me. This is really happening.
 
@MBraedley ?
 
@Powerlord I've started the process of buying a house, and since I'm currently on an annual lease, I need to give 3 months notice before vacating.
 
9:34 PM
@MBraedley Oh, for some reason I thought this had to do with work and I was thinking "wtf does a property manager have to do with you quitting work?"
 
I thought about it as he was getting kicked from his house.
 
That's cool. It uploads your replays to YouTube
 
@Powerlord No, you forget that I'm an hour ahead of the US east coast
 
Apparently I'm "ConservativeJasmineColocolo"
 
@Sterno aaaaaaaand I'm now buying it.
 
9:37 PM
So, I'm thinking pizza for dinner today, particularly since I need to stop out at a grocery store that has a Hungry Howie's just down the street.
Well, OK, it's like a mile down said street, but it's between the store and home.
 
Mmm, pizza
 
Uuuuuugh... I want SUPERHOT so baaaaaaad... But I also want Disgaea PC Ultimate Dood Edition. I don't know what to dooooooooo
 
@Fluttershy [insert why not both image]
 
whining intensifies
@Powerlord Money reasons. :P
 
Ugh, that image actually looks pretty bad
 
9:45 PM
oh, ell got a design
 
@GnomeSlice sterno posted a +%15
(the one on starlist is friday)
 
Gamechops undertale remixes are the only noteworthy ones I've seen
 
9:55 PM
@ardaozkal It only works once though, tried to redeem it but too late :(
 
uugh damnit.
I was planning to take my RPi with me tomorrow, but it might be considered a bomb in subway
I wouldn't get arrested over it, but I'd get looong questions about it.
 
Haha
