7:00 PM
wouldn't it
 
@murgatroid99 That seems incompatible with things like seasonal breeding
@GnomeSlice does a far away mountain look really big? Or clouds
 
not to a mouse i guess
 
I'm talking about humans, scale it down to rat size and most far away things wouldn't seem really big
 
What about not far away things
 
Depends on how good their eye sight is
 
7:02 PM
does anybody here know anything about mouse eyes
 
Of course, if you've grown up amongst giant things would you call them giant? Or just regular size
 
Interesting thought
 
@GnomeSlice they are beady
 
And adorable

A: How do I run Half-Life 2 in 4k on a 1080p monitor?

Chippies First open up the NVIDIA control panel and enable "DSR - Factors", Choose a DSR setting of your choice. Next open up GeForce Experience, and select the game you want to enable DSR on, and click the wrench icon. Select the available DSR resolution and click apply GeForce Experien...

I literally copypasted the linked source post, but I added the link to source. Is that ok?
does anyone care about such things?
@Unionhawk the monitor doesn't have to support 4k to render the game at 4k. mind=blown
 
7:08 PM
brb trying to render 4k on a 4:3 CRT
NOW WHAT, KIRBY
 
@Unionhawk CRTs don't have a native max resolution
so I'm sure you could do it if you were running it at a low enough refresh rate
I used to run 1280x1024 on a 15" CRT at 60hz
 
Oh man, 3 Hz incoming
Oh srs?
 
my eyes hurt so bad
but the pixels were hawt
60hz on a CRT was the worst
funny how these days people think 30 fps is great for gaming
 
@Chippies are you sure? I'm fairly sure they have a physical layout of different fluorescent dots for the colors
 
@Chippies If you're properly attributing it (which a link by itself isn't neccessarily doing).
Using a block quote is usually a good idea.
 
7:12 PM
It's a link and a block quote now yeah
 
@MBraedley I usually do block quote for that kind of stuff anyway
 
I couldn't tell, since I'm still at work.
 
@KevinvanderVelden CRTs don't have a native resolution, so, while there are physical limitations, they could technically go to pretty high resolutions
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz there are so many great quotes in veep but i don't want to get flagged for posting htem
 
@Chippies I mean, isn't that grid the native resolution?
 
7:14 PM
@GodEmperorDune it elevates profanity to art.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz it really does
and jonad insults are the best
 
@KevinvanderVelden I'm not sure of the ins and outs of CRTs unfortunately, but CRTs didn't look any better/worse at different resolutions
LCD's have a certain grid of pixels which limits the resolution, CRTs didn't have that
 
@Chippies internet seems to say that they don't have it in the same way an LCD screen does (i.e. an LCD actually has one resolution, you just scale up/down to it) while CRT can interpolate better
 
I should research more about it, this sounds interesting
 
@KevinvanderVelden Changing the resolution just changes how much the electron beam is deflected per pixle. But seeing as how CRTs use analog signals, higher resolutions just result in effectively applying a low pass filter.
Which is being done already, anyway.
 
7:17 PM
Hmm that makes sense
 
2560x1920 at 22"
that's unimaginable these days for a desktop monitor
 
So a CRT doesn't have a native resolution on account of it always being a blurry mess. I can live with that
 
@KevinvanderVelden high quality CRTs were pretty sharp actually
especially the flat panel ones
 
Well this is hilarious
I'm trying to build a new tab button for our tabbed document thing
 
lololol jonad just got fired
 
7:19 PM
And doing it as a tab that adds a new document when it becomes active has fun side effects
 
@GodEmperorDune jonah's whole arc is magical.
 
@Unionhawk so, you could potentially spam new documents by switching tabs'?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz "jonah ryan, 2026!" "that's a midterm, jonah"
 
soooo, my LG monitor has speakers, but it doesn't receive sound from HDMI...
 
7:24 PM
@Chippies it looked for a tab with title '+:
 
they're cosmetic speakers.
 
@Chippies wut
 
@KutuluMike well, they work, but you have to use the aux input
 
Except it would switch back to that tab when you close any other so it would just open another new one
 
at least I think they work, as I have never actually tried it
 
7:24 PM
so they may as well be cosmetic
 
@KutuluMike pretty much this
 
@GodEmperorDune have you met Richard Splett yet?
 
@KevinvanderVelden I think that illustrates how much I know about biology
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz is that teh guy who plays dinesh on silicon valley?
 
Whee we're getting vs 2015
Which means me sitting and staring at my screen for the next hour
 
7:31 PM
But 2015 is free
 
@GodEmperorDune no.
 
then i haven't met him yet
 
@GodEmperorDune you'll know Richard T. Splett when he shows up.
(His middle name is John).
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz oh i googled him, yeah he's terrible
 
@twobugs enterprise, but getting it from corporate
 
7:31 PM
he's there now
 
@GodEmperorDune he's amazing.
Best character on the show.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz oh that reminds me, have you seen piedpiper.com
 
cc @AshleyNunn because i think you will like this
 
@Dragonrage An image from Trumptopia
 
7:35 PM
@GodEmperorDune bachmanity.com
 
@GodEmperorDune hooli.xyz
 
when you make the taskbar auto-hide in windows 10, how long does it take to hide? It's not disappearing for me...
 
Bighead let Bachman burn through his entire severance. How stupid was that?
 
my afternoon is so great now
@Frank i mean its bighead
 
@GodEmperorDune Yes, but the guy has to have a spine in there SOMEWHERE.
Now he's just broke.
 
7:37 PM
@Chippies a few secs
 
But will probably fail his way into a CEO position somewhere, due to the Hooly buildup.
 
Bighead? Rocko's neighbor?
 
@ardaozkal I can't seem to get it to hide whatsoever
 
@Chippies it disappears pretty quickly for me when it doesnt bug out
 
weird
 
7:37 PM
@Dragonrage so, it does bug out sometimes?
do you know what causes it?
 
sometimes it stops hiding, and the only way to fix is to restart
 
user15026
@Dragonrage that was excellent. I needed that today.
 
@Dragonrage ugh, no thanks
 
@twobugs silicon valley, not mr. bighead
 
I only set it to hide to try running two wow clients side by side, lol
 
7:38 PM
@Chippies sometimes it like freezes, other times it is because a notification popped up
@AshleyNunn glad to be of service
sometimes restarting the task bar service works
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz witness the birth of ryantology!
ahahahahahaha
 
@Dragonrage I don't seem to have a taskbar service... Is it called something else?
 
let me check
try explorer.exe
 
@Dragonrage meh, by what you said I thought taskbar had a separate service or something
yeah, restarting explorer made it auto hide
now all 10+ explorer windows I had open are gone :P
 
rip
 
7:44 PM
oddly enough, it kept one window open
 
weird
 
@fredley also, btw, <3<3<3<3<3<3 +100 would recommend

7:59 PM
Zootopia zootropolis comes out in Turkey tomorrow, exactly same day we'll watch it on bmn lol
 
looks like I won't be able to join you folks tomorrow. Plans got rearranged. Sunday night for me it is!
 
@Wipqozn unacceptable. :P
 
@Wipqozn just because you're a mod candidate now, you're too cool to show up to movie night?

Q: Are the new missions in the Further Adventures in Finance and Felony update worth it?

BauerJackThe new offices and warehouses required for the missions cost a lot of money. Are they worth it? What sort of return-on-investment do you get from the new missions through them? Are there any other interesting or unique mechanics you get access to by being a CEO/owning an office & warehouse?

 
@GodEmperorDune It's debatable if he was ever 'cool enough'
 
8:15 PM
@twobugs very true

@GodEmperorDune Pretty much yeah

Q: What is diplomatic "threat", and how do I change it

HugoRuneIn the diplomacy screen of Stellaris, an opinion score is shown, that shows how much the other empire likes you. One component of this score is "Threat". Some of my neighbours have huge negative threat values, some don't. Yet I never had a war with any of them. What influences this value, and ho...

 
8:29 PM
@Dragonrage yolo county best county
 
Just got a call from some random Ohio number. Looked it up, apparently some semi-scam
 
It wasn't me
Was it something about credit card account and there are no problems but you should give us a call?
That I've been getting even though I have no credit card account?
 
Yeah, basically. Claimed to be from citi
It was a robocall
 
Was it a 513 number?

8:32 PM
Ah, dang
 
Hell-o this is Rob-o-cop your cred-it car-d is expi-ring please typo in y-our cred-it car-d numb-her
 
Ruby, your method names are intriguing to me
What
 
@badp seems legit types in credit card number
 
@Unionhawk I was phon-e. It wash me. Your fri-end. Rob-o-cop.
 
8:44 PM
I'm not surprised.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Experience required: one (1) year of League of Legends
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Lawsuits, ho!
Firing someone for their actions in a game is going to get a lawsuit going in no time flat.
 
@Unionhawk What could be more self-documenting than my method named a!!!_?!?!!_!?!
 
@Frank well, we're talking of their in-game actions as devs of that very game
 
@Frank that's not what they were fired for.
 
8:53 PM
as such they were basically representing their company
 
They looked at records of their employees in game activity and saw a correlation between abusive behavior and people who had been terminated for various other reasons.
 
it did say that the worse cases openly said they were employees in order to scare others
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz And used those in-game chat logs as justification.
 
they also did mention that the logs were relevant in 2 cases
 
I'm not saying the correlation isn't there, or that they didn't deserve to be fired.
But using those logs as part of the reasoning can be seen as people firing employees for what they posted on Facebook during non-work hours.
 
@Frank right to free speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences for what you do in your non-work time
 
@badp It's wire wrapped around a nylon (or gut) core
 
@GodEmperorDune No, but what you do in your non-work time generally isn't going to impact your job, unless you do something insanely stupid.
 
@Frank with the key note that the employees in question work for Facebook and are identified as such in their usernames maybe.
 
If these weren't Riot employees, there would be no using those chat logs.
You're essentially trying to police your employee's non-work behaviour in your game.
Which...seems just a little too Big Brother-ish to me.
 
9:00 PM
If they want to be assholes they should just play DOTA.
Play in the company sandbox, you represent the company.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Even in your spare time?
 
Play outside the sandbox, you're a private citizen.
 
I mean, if you're going to use your position as an employee to threaten, yeah, you deserve what you get.
Someone just being a generic asshole in-game, though, seems to be crossing some lines.
LoL is filled with assholes. Being an employee and playing the game in your spare time are two different things.
 
@Frank being toxic in the game run by your employer falls under the "insanely stupid" category, IMO
 
@GodEmperorDune Why?
You represent the company during your work hours.
Why do you have to represent them during your spare time?
 
9:03 PM
@Frank because they are representing their employer while they play
 
@Frank I believe riot staffers accounts are tagged as such, regardless of said threats.
 
its like if a blue blizzard employee posts abusive stuff all over the forums in their spare time
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Okay, that's a good point. If you use your employee account, which is known, then, yes, that's on you.
 
they are blue, so it looks like official word from blizzard
 
That I would wholeheartedly condone, then.
 
9:04 PM
@Frank yeah. I mean, these are all staff accounts, clearly, because it's why they have enough access to pair the accounts to the employees in question.
 
If you're using your own personal, non-employee account, though, and that's where they're pulling chat logs from? That's crossing a line.
 
most riot employees have an account that is tagged Riot name
 
(I.e. HR shouldn't be able to go rummaging through customer files to find an employee. Any half decent privacy policy should be preventing that.)
@Frank there's no indication whatsoever that this is what's going on, if only because that requires a level of detective work that's truly troubling.
 
@Frank agreed
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz No, but I wasn't familiar with how their accounts work.
If Riot's own freaking employees are being toxic on their own accounts, that's bad for business.
 
9:06 PM

(I.e. HR shouldn't be able to go rummaging through customer files to find an employee. Any half decent privacy policy should be preventing that.)
 
If they're being toxic on their own accounts, during their own free time, that's just them being douches.
 
There's no logical way for it to work other than it being with an account that riot has flagged as "this is one of our people! Using the account that we have comped for them!"
 
> sometimes using their authority as a Riot employee to intimidate or threaten others.
 
@GodEmperorDune Sometimes.
I totally agree that they're jerks.
 
@Frank the article also said that not everyone let go was let go because of their in game behavior
 
9:08 PM
@GodEmperorDune It doesn't make the distinction between where those chat logs came from, though.
That's the line I'm talking about.
 
@Frank yes
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz wait, for Facebook?
 
Your employee account? Totally. Fire and done.
 
and their new hiring process seems to look at their personal account
 
Your personal account, that Riot's digging through? Lawsuits, ho!
 
9:09 PM
but that is up front before they are hired
 
@badp I was extending through @Frank's analogy.
 
oh ok
 
Some level of oversight can be necessary. Eve for example audits employee accounts simply because they often have knowledge that could seriously impact the in-game economy if they would reveal it to others (which has happened in the distant past)
 
@MadScientist and as long as the employees agree to that before they are hired, i'm fine with it
 
9:11 PM
But now, back to Zestiria!
 
@GodEmperorDune I think that rule was retroactive, but it was based on CCP employees handing out favors to their buddies in game.
 
> Click on the magnifying glass and it’ll take over your browser and immediately cycles through a series of search terms ranging from the mildly embarrassing (“why doesn’t my poo float,” “smelly penis cure urgent”) to the potentially relationship-ruining (“mail order paternity test,” “attracted to mother why”) to the type of thing that might get your name on a list somewhere (“isis application form,” “cheap syria flights,” “how to kill someone hypothetically”).
 
@MadScientist which tbh should have been a common sense "don't do that"
 
And of course, Redditors Are Dumb about it.
 
9:13 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz as they are about all things
 
> The reaction has been so visceral, in fact, that one of the moderators has had to step in and defend leaving the link to the site—which now has warnings all over it—on the page: “We've taken adequate steps to warn redditors that this link might be something you shouldn't just blindly click,” internetisbeautiful moderator K_Lobstah wrote in an incredibly long post.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Amazing
 
If you know which changes they'll implement in the next patch, you can easily earn billions or trillions of ISK in EVE. So they're particularly vulnerable to people using inside knowledge
 
side note, veep's reaction to reddit and tumblr was great
 
@GodEmperorDune tumble?
 
9:14 PM
@fredley please don't make this the new friday
@LessPop_MoreFizz you're saying words that are sort of familiar
 
why does every link have double cautions on it?
 
@Dragonrage double the friday
 
because this is the ⚠️⚠️internet⚠️⚠️

@Dragonrage I mean, it's a youtube link. duh
 
what have you done? we now have emojis in the starlist. @twobugs will never forgive us now
 
@Dragonrage is there a bug emoji?
 
@KevinvanderVelden yea, but, 2 cautions? isnt that overly cautious?
 
9:17 PM
@Dragonrage double plus caution
 
@Dragonrage naah, better be extra sure
 
@Dragonrage the cautions are inadequate, i still clicked through
 
Also I hadn't seen that
 
@GodEmperorDune yea, several

@Dragonrage we shouldn't, it deletes after a while if it has no questions with it
 
@Dragonrage obviously, for questions about Zelda puzzles
 
@GodEmperorDune It doesn't once there is a tag wiki, I think
Or maybe that was only for tags with only one question
 
9:33 PM
@fredley i dont trust that link
because why would anyone make a youtube video on gloves?
 
errr
wow
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz "smarch, show me meeting meyer"
 
@GodEmperorDune Everything about Clovis is amazing. It's a Silicon Valley crossover episode in all but name.
 
9:48 PM
@Dragonrage they actually did
click it
trust me
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz and that's why it is so fantastic
 
Also due to you keeping mentioning Silicon Valley I started watching it
 
@ardaozkal thoughts?
 
9:52 PM
Because wikihow has a picture guide for everything.
 
first eps always suck. The first ep of Silicon Valley wasn't too bad, so this message is relevant

Q: How does the assist system work?

camelCaseI have noticed that I am getting assists when I am near an enemy god that dies, despite not attacking the god. Does the assist system merely work on distance as opposed to doing damage? Do I not get an assist for hitting a god from distance?

 
I've started watching Extant
and it's .... so broken
guy climbs up a ladder - gets to the top and suddenly no gravity
 
@AshleyNunn I try to do that but I understand if it is good after 2nd ep and if it is bad or meh after 3th ep.
*I usually understand
 
9:58 PM
yet i wanna keep watching :O
 
@djsmiley2k That actually kind of makes sense in a rotating space station
 
@AshleyNunn Need 5 or 6 for Bojack Horseman, but god damn is that a great show
 
@murgatroid99 hah yeah
but not as suddenly as this was
Also from the images outside, it's not a rotating station
Right I think I'm off to bed
have a good one

Q: What is ADC in Smite?

camelCaseI understand that ADC is a term that came from other MOBAs. In League of Legends it appears that the term is an old term since replaced with Marksman, Assassin and Fighter to refer to specific classes of champions. I've been told that in Smite it refers generally to Hunters. Does that mean all...

I really want to pick up Kingdom Hearts 2.8 when it comes out. Not sure if I should wait for the "new" PS4 to come out or to just buy a PS4. I can find them as cheap as $200~ refurbished which isn't bad at all.
 
10:11 PM
@Sie It'll run the same regardless.
 
@fredley omg that just gets better and better.
That chairmen gets my vote for best Glove Co Chairmen of the year.
And I want to go see Top Glove Tower now
And the finale...
A truly great video

Bojack probably wouldn't make as good a Glove Co Chairmen.

Haha so Bungie announced the new Destiny expansion isn't going to have a last gen version. I'm sure Reddit is calling for murder about this
