December 2016 for KH 2.8

cc @ktash

@Yuuki Not in the game, as far as I know. There are dice you can unlock as you play, but they're sellable on the Steam Community market thing, and people buy them there. I had a set worth $20-ish at one point.

@Fluttershy Oh, I see.

How difficult is the game?

Q: Extremely trivial edits from 2k+ users?

What's the policy guideline here? Flag the question/answer for intervention by moderators? Examples of extremely trivial edits: You can find the Ocarina of Time at .......... replaced with You can locate the Ocarina of Time at ......... I've noticed a lot of my answers and questions ...

support editing reputation

@Yuuki It's really easy to learn, but it can be challenging depending on how much the other players work against you. Also, it's very RNG dependent in terms of combat and quest completion.

user15026

Bridge I am super sleepy today :(

10:08 PM

@Fluttershy So the goal is to become King?

Like... Elder Sign would be the best comparison for that, I think. Very dice roll-y.

@AshleyNunn same. you should have some tea. ill go grab some coffee

user15026

@Dragonrage I don't have any tea here :(

@Yuuki Pretty much. There are four win conditions I can explain in a little while. Leaving work now, so I'll be out for a bit.

user15026

I keep thinking I should bring some but I never do

10:09 PM

@AshleyNunn that is sad. my work provides free coffee

thats a lot of proposals

@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment pls. that was way too many to post at once

user15026

@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment My parents keep chickens in their back yard!

Now that I think about it, why do we even have @NOPE feeding into this room?

user15026

10:14 PM

(And in their house but that's just because they have baby chicks right now)

@Yuuki so we have things to make fun of

@Yuuki "for Entertainment"

user15026

@Yuuki Because at some point someone decided it would be interesting, I guess

nope only posts every 12 hours or smth

FINALLY! Twitter for android got an UI change

user15026

@ardaozkal Oh?

10:23 PM

@Yuuki there was a period when people kept posting arqade clones on area51

this hasn't really stopped

The great thing about being a programmer is that you can follow the documentation to a tee and still have your program not work.

the main problem with NOPE is that area51 is basically dead and the site has a bug when sometimes even when you ask for just the entertainment proposals, you get all of them instead

and when that happens NOPE floods

@badp then lifehacks happens right?

we got warned about lifehacks very soon after it was proposed

most likely

IF ANYONE FAILED TO PREVENT LIFEHACKS FROM BEING A THING THAT EXISTED, IT WAS US

AND IN PARTICULAR, @STERNO

Proposed Q&A site for everybody who urgently needs to bypass everyday's life problem with some simple tricks! :)

Currently in definition.

could someone do me a favor and post one message and then edit it 3 times? i think i found a bug in porkchat

10:26 PM

There is NOPE, carefully fulfilling its destiny by posting the proposal back when it only had 1 follower

BUT YOU WOULDN'T LISTEN

cc @fredley

it was during the last elections, even

SO WATCH OUT BEFORE HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF AND BACKYARD CHICKEN KEEPERS BECOMES THE NEXT BIG THING

@badp could you edit that one more time please?

or two.

there

well, ok, that seems to confirm it then.

10:29 PM

so your webpage is currently aflame right

@fredley pls, i think you have made a grievous mistake, however I have discovered it in time for you to fix it

no no no bad manners

he is British

oh, my apologies.

British people are polite and calm and very polite

repeat after me

"@fredley, pls"

@badp better?

also how am i supposed to recover a message i burned?

10:31 PM

no no no too verbose

he is a busy man

@badp i thought they were eloquent speakers and appreciated verboseness

very busy, very polite, still busy

I like that you opened with a "pls", but then you expressed your point in an unusual way

@fredley thrives when he can read 1 word in 10 and still get what you mean

this is why you make a @fredley happy by using standard phraseology

@Dragonrage I know of this bug

vulgarly referred to as "memes"

@badp may may

10:33 PM

@fredley the extra burning icons after someone edits, and the one farthest to the left is the only one that works?

repeat after me: "@fredley pls, literally unusuable, fix or RIOT"

"@fredley pls, literally unusuable, fix or RIOT"

well done!

you are a fast learner.

@Dragonrage yes

@Dragonrage ugggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

@fredley ok, well i guess i will stop pinging you then. though is there any way of unburning message, or can i submit a feature request so i can reburn messages

user15026

10:35 PM

@badp What do you have against chickens?

@Dragonrage F5

as the very busy person @fredley is, he likes to communicate efficiently. his response only required the use of five distinct keystrokes, many of which were held

@badp I'll hold you

so his reply shows his genuine appreciation for your respect of @fredley's time

F5 does not seem to be restoring it. does it have a time limit?

or maybe i cannot recover @badp 's messages. or maybe because i am using a mac

10:39 PM

Yay. Got the Scourge end event.

sorry @badp i seem to have erased some of your messages forever.

...Microsoft explains how to use tmux

spoiler alert, this is how you really use tmux

1. use byobu instead

this was how you really use tmux

also apperently you can dockerize Windows now

@badp can i stop it from turning itself on at 12:22 am?

@Dragonrage no, updates are mandatory

user image

well you can by doing this

user image

then it will turn on at 4:22am

@badp can i change active hours to always?

10:45 PM

no

user image

it seems i shall have to rewrite windows 10 so i can make my computer not turn on by itself.

i mean, they could at least have the courtesy to turn it off when it's done updating

YOU WILL INSTALL SECURITY UPDATES AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY ABOUT IT

also all of the other updates

also windows 10

also the bing bar

@badp I WILL BE HAPPY ABOUT ANYTHING. I AM GOING TO INSTALL WINDOW 95 JUST TO SPITE THEM.

i still have a disc with the installation guide for it too

Windows 95 might be tricky to install on modern hardware I'm afraid

@Dragonrage that's so cute. So where's your CD drivers floppy disk?

FINE, i'll install windows 98 instead

@badp in my windows 95 machine

10:49 PM

@Dragonrage oh! that one might come with IE4

and gradient titlebars

there's actually been a lot of work to keep Win 98 or 2000 relevant

I haven't had any trouble with Windows 10. Clearly your Windowsing is inadequate.

so that might actually somewhat kinda sorta work out slightly

@twobugs clearly Windows is racist against dragons.

If Windows was racist against dragons then @KevinvanderVelden would also Windows inadequately, and I'm fairly certain that isn't the case

@KevinvanderVelden will be able to confirm or deny

10:52 PM

@badp he isnt the same species as me

no, but since @KevinvanderVelden is a Half Life 3, he knows everything there is to know about dragons

@KevinvanderVelden owns dragons, he owns the best dragons.

also, I have apparently missed out on 110 rep today

@badp he may own some dragons, but he does not own the best dragons

@KevinvanderVelden will breed the best dragon, and he will make Eragon pay for it

@badp that universe doesnt even have the best dragons, but he can have them if he wants

Q: What does this 'Bottomless Carafe' do?

During my travels in The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone expansion pack, I came into possession this little item called the 'Bottomless Carafe'. It's description reads: "Provides an endless supply of hard alcohol. This spirit is distilled from scorpion tails." This sounds quite useful, as I've spen...

10:55 PM

that universe is merely footing the bill

see also: Mexico, the home of not the best walls

i mean, they cant even use magic when they want too. they have inadequate magic skills

your meming is inadequate my friend

@badp good, because I would hate to become a meme

i hear they are the worst. cc @Wipqozn

This library that I inherited and now have to maintain is going to drive me insane

@murgatroid99 there is an easy way to prevent that.

11:00 PM

@murgatroid99 is it perl

The latest thing I found is a poorly named constructor parameter that is only used in tests

@badp Ruby

tests do tend to breed extra parameters and weird constructors

Cc @fredley check this out apps.getpebble.com/applications/571121b046e6406644000018

gotta mock all of the things

It's just that the way it's used in tests doesn't even make sense, considering what it does in the implementation

11:02 PM

No, it's completely reasonable to include crappy code if it lets you pass a test! /s

you don't get to 100% coverage

without mucking some APIs

You basically check in every hour when you are awake and you answer some stuff like energy level and mood. And it'll mail you every week.

@Dragonrage wat

What on earth happened to Niels? He did pretty good for a rookie at Worlds and then I never heard from him since.

11:10 PM

I feel like Netflix's random and constantly changing selection has convinced me that it's not worth it to try and be a legitimate consumer :(

@Yuuki apparently forgiven is taking an indefinite break for personal reason, so xpeke is subbing till they find a new adc.

@Yuuki he changed his name to zven and joined g2

lol.esportspedia.com/wiki/Zven

@Dragonrage xPeke is...ADC?

@StrixVaria for now at least.

I don't pay much attention to EU, but that sounds weird.

11:17 PM

he was a sub for mid lane i think, and he is playing adc because their adc stepped down

@badp i just want GoG2

Phillie Phanatic

The Phillie Phanatic is the official mascot of the Philadelphia Phillies Major League Baseball team. He is a large, furry, green bi-pedal creature with an extendable tongue. According to his official biography, the Phanatic is originally from the Galápagos Islands and is the Phillies' biggest fan. He performs various routines to entertain fans during baseball games at Citizens Bank Park and makes public relation and goodwill appearances for the Phillies. The Phanatic is widely acknowledged as one of the best ballpark mascots, and is arguably the most recognizable mascot in all of North American...

@twobugs guardians of the galaxy 2.

For fo,lks like myself who had no idea who that was

11:24 PM

gog galaxy just reminded me of it

though i suppose it shouldve put gotg

@LessPop_MoreFizz This is an impressive feat since the Phillie Phanatic isn't a natural born citizen

It holds up though, Trump is actually negatively qualified. So unqualified it makes people around him become less qualified

As those people who took his Trump U classes found out

(whoops, he couldn't call it a university because it wasn't)

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Wipqozn the Phillie Phanatic is an American Icon.

im just gonna disengage from that meta and let the mods take care of it. i think it is more in their area of influence than mine

Q: How to make a Villager trade a Spawn Egg In 1.10

I've tried to make a Villager trade Some stuff for a villager spawn egg, but I end up getting a blank spawn egg... I'm playing on 1.10, and I don't know if it's a bug or something they've changed. I should also mention that I use a generator, Link Here. Here is the code I used: The trade I menti...

@badp "pls, literally unusuable, fix or RIOT"

cc @SepiaLazers

11:33 PM

I'm sorry have you mistaken me for a @fredley

That seems like a really silly meta fight

oh never mind. i just under estimated the amount of time that had transpired. ignore the thing about sepia lazers not working, but is still relevant slightly regarding stuff which you are probably already aware of.

@badp oh, yes sorry, i forgot i need more caps for you right.?

something like "@BADPLS, FIX NOW OR CONFUSEDN"T I'LL BE" or something right?

if you want to sound like an hyperdrunk @GodEmperorDune

hint: you do not want to sound like an hyperdrunk @GodEmperorDune

PROTIP: @GodEmperorDunen't

or should I say, @GodEmperorDun't

@GodEmperorDun't is basically the lifehack of the year.

@badp hmm, it seems i still have a bit learning to do. How should i properly summon the ¿being? known as @badp

carefully

11:40 PM

does that mean i shouldnt yell?

oh boy

did I just get between retro and timelord?

Thankfully they're calm on main/meta.

@badp lol it pingn't

Also protipn't

@Drag'nt Rage would also work

@GodEmperorDune well then, might as well go all the way. @GodEmperorDon't
