Q: Bitrates for PS4 streaming quality presets?

When streaming to twitch on PS4, there are four different quality settings. Low, Medium, High and Best HD. My upload bandwidth is limited, since it is an ADSL2+ connection, to 1Mbps upload. I was wondering if there is any information anywhere about what the bitrates are for the different qualit...

Q: Can I share a character across devices

I have an Android phone, and an iPad and I have Unchained X installed on both. But when I start a new game, it starts a new character on each device and I track them separately. Is there a way to share a character between the devices? Or at least share progress or something?

@Arperum The floor 1 bosses are stupid.

Fluttershy

Bullet King is the worst.

StrixVaria

@Fluttershy I wish I could go against Bullet King every run.

The other two floor 1 bosses wreck me every single time.

Fluttershy

@StrixVaria I'd prefer Gatling Gull, personally.

Who's the third? Trigger Twins?

StrixVaria

I essentially have a 1/3 or worse chance of getting to floor 2, because there's a 1/3 chance I get Bullet King (and a non-100% chance I defeat him anyway).

Fluttershy

I hate them too.

StrixVaria

Trigger Twins is the worst.

@Fluttershy Do characters gain experience or whatever independently of each other?

Or is it just an overall account level?

badp

Ronan

15:10

@badp Some of those variables are getting a little long there...

badp

(that's a map operation that produces output in a 1-to-2 ratio for those keeping score)

(as in, n values come in, 2 n values come out)

(why are you keeping score)

Ronan

@badp Considering it's making a hashmap that's entirely reasonable.

badp

@Ronan it really isn't

Ronan

ed = {x: checkmate(x) for x in theists} is the python equivalent.

badp

right

Ronan

15:14

@badp Ummm... You're assigning it to a hash, so yes it is.

badp

so what happens if checkmate $_ returns ()

or 2 things

or m things

in Python, the code doesn't break

Ronan

I think the perl answer is just not to do that.

badp

because a tuple is a data structure

Ronan

Perl's list flattening is the worst, yes.

badp

but it isn't even "flattening"

lists didn't have any depth to begin with

I mean graphically speaking you're flattening them

but if you think of it as a flattening operation, you're gonna have a bad time

Ronan

15:17

If checkmate returns 2 things, you get back:

{a => (b, c), d => (e, f)}

Which is just:

(a,b,c,d,e,f)

Which as a hash is:

{a => b, c => d, e => f}

badp

but it never at any point was (a => (b, c), d => (e, f))

there wasn't some sort flattening step

Fluttershy

@Unionhawk Did you play any more Souls last night? :3

Kevin van der Velden

I'm glad I don't understand perl

badp

15:29

all functions take lists as inputs and return lists as inputs

lists are just a plurality of things

Unionhawk

@Fluttershy I did a lot of falling off ledges and stuff and got literally nowhere, but yes

badp

so it is legal to return 0 things, which is different from returning undef, which is different from returning a reference to an empty array [], which is different from returning a reference to an empty hash {}

two bugs

"It is legal to return 0 things" I need to use that argument in court

badp

also, depending on whether or not you're throwing the result away, using the result as a scalar and using the result as a list, different things happen

and the function can know how the return value is going to be used, and it can do different things depending

Ronan

@badp Well fuck.

@badp Yeah I knew that bit.

badp

15:32

including but not limited to changing the meaning of , from a separator to the C "operator" that evaluates the left hand argument (how, though? I dunno. I guess void context) and returns the right argument

Ronan

Welp. Even the one bit of perl that I thought made moderate sense turns out to be horribly broken.

badp

in general I deal with this by avoiding @arrays and %hashes as much as possible

Ronan

@badp Hah yeah.

badp

much much much better to deal with de/referencing hell

Ronan

I just avoid perl.

$array = [stuff]; $hash = {stuff};

also I've come to a conclusion

Ronan

@PrivatePansy And plus, there's nothing about the character that screams AMERICAN
