2:00 PM
@KevinvanderVelden probably
dx12 is windows 10 exclusive
 
Cool
 
Surfing Raichu
 
It's Electric/Psychic.
 
COOL
 
2:05 PM
And its Speed doubles when Electric Terrain is up.
 
I can't wait for Pokemon Sun
 
(That's what Surge Surfer does)
 
OH, that's a special form? That's pretty neat
 
@Unionhawk I really dislike how Game Freak does their releases though. I have to choose between the new content in the first half or all the QoL and mechanics improvements in the "GOTY edition".
The latter of which is inevitably a remake of an older generation these days so there's no new content.
 
They've done fewer special editions now
 
2:07 PM
I mean, they didn't do Z anyway
 
@twobugs There's literally been one every generation.
@Unionhawk Yeah, it's called Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire.
 
Ah, right
 
I... don't really think those are the same the Crystal/Gemerald/Whatever
 
I'm still excited for Pokemon Sun
If only for the Dark Souls joke potential
 
@twobugs I'm saying that every generation is split into two halves and I really dislike having to pick between the two because I'm not going to pick up both halves in a gen.
 
2:08 PM
What bothers me is that they have separate teams who basically don't communicate at all so QoL stuff comes and goes seemingly for no reason
@Yuuki Eh, having two sets per gen doesn't bother me
 
It's also really annoying to play the first half of a generation and then everyone's gone after a year or so and all the good special event stuff is focused on the second half.
 
I also really dislike how focused they are on the damn formula and telling stories and whatnot
I also want to see maybe dailing back on just new Pokemon and focus on developing the 800 damn critters they have already
The new forms for old Pokemon are a neat idea, but I'm not sure it's really what they need
 
@twobugs I guess, technically speaking, those are still new Pokemon.
But I'm not sure what you mean by developing the existing Pokemon further.
 
Well I'd like to see them differentiated, maybe given more unique moves/revamped movesets/new abilities
A lot of Pokemon feel very samey to me
You could probably argue we're well beyond the point of each one feeling unique and I can't really deny that
 
this issue doesn't make any seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeense
 
2:18 PM
I just have a lot of fatigue after the recent games. They weren't bad by any means, but they felt very exhausting to me
 
Every time you catch them all they just make more.
 
It's why I'm sitting Sun/Moon out, though still following the news.
Gives me the excitement without needing to pay or get tired playing.
 
Also how does a group of eggs turn into a tree, that becomes a 33 ft tall tree that is a dragon?
That's some fanfic level 'what' right there.
 
@MadMAxJr It's a play on the dragon tree:
Not to be confused with the related Dracaena cinnabari, the dragon blood tree native to Socotra (an island near Yemen). Dracaena draco, the Canary Islands dragon tree or drago, is a subtropical tree-like plant in the genus Dracaena, native to the Canary Islands, Cape Verde, Madeira, and locally in western Morocco, and introduced to the Azores. It is the natural symbol of the island of Tenerife, together with the blue chaffinch. == Description == Dracaena draco is a monocot with a tree-like growth habit currently placed in the asparagus family (Asparagaceae, subfamily Nolinoidae). When young it...
apparently
or, probably
 
@MadMAxJr i wouldn't be surprised if that's where they get some of their ideas nowadays
 
2:20 PM
Pokemon Sonic/Mario
 
mario and sonic at the pokemon world championships
 
@Unionhawk Okay that's a valid partial explaination.

Q: What does finishing the Sniper missions in Zombie Frontier 3 unlock?

JALA few weeks ago I finished the Sniper missions in Zombie Frontier 3 with the M21 (I managed to do this without the AWP with quite a few Adrenalin and Gold Bullet items). I got the specified silver reward, but nothing appears to have changed in the game. I was in the middle of T4 (Lab No. 9) and...

 
I still don't know how egg >>> tree.
 
@MadMAxJr Blame gen 1 idk
 
2:21 PM
@Unionhawk What horrible word will Shadow the Hedgehog yell this time?
@MadMAxJr The eggs become coconuts because SHUT UP THAT'S WHY
 
@twobugs Thank you Pokemon Professor Twobug
Hmm, no, your pokemon professor name would probably be more like Tewbug.
 
I think he's done more research on pokemon then any other pokemon professor so far
@MadMAxJr and with a name like that he'd focus on fire pokemon or something
 
@twobugs thanks professor, now give me my starter and 10 pokeballs and I'll be on my way
 
Not to mention that Exeggcute evolves into Exeggutor after exposure from a Leaf Stone. Which is pretty much Pokemon's equivalent of radioactive material.
Except with "nature powers".
 
Poor Eevee. You're forced to become whatever peer pressure and horribly radioactive magic stones tell you to be.
 
2:24 PM
Instead of evolving, your Pikachu has developed cancer. Sorry about that.
Cancer is like the Pokerus, in that you can't really cure it
 
Rattata evolved into a persecution complex!
 
@MadMAxJr Or it could be Leafeon, Glaceon, or Sylveon.
 
or terribly unhappy with its life choices.
 
Pikachu doesn't have a choice. They either develop superpowers or die a slow and painful death.
 
2:27 PM
@Yuuki Are those new elementary particles?
 
Huh. Tales of Berseria is a prequel to Zestiria.
 
Team SKULL
Something tells me they aren't death worshipers, merely Hot Topic rejects.
 
@MadMAxJr ah, I knew he'd go on to achieve great things
 
Steven Universe Season 3 finale!
 
@PrivatePansy NO
 
2:29 PM
@MadMAxJr Apparently they're pirates?
 
WHAT WILL I WATCH FOR MONTHS
ARCHER? CC @fredley
 
@Yuuki Okay, that's pretty cool
 
@arda Erm, it continues
There's no gap between season 3 and 4
 
@PrivatePansy PERFECT
 
And Meowth's Alolan form is a Dark-type.
And Marowak becomes Gen 1 Ghost Marowak.
And is a Fire/Ghost type.
 
2:30 PM
Neat. My Alolan form is Dark/Developer type.
2
 
My Alolan form is Three Bugs
 
@MadMAxJr So... I shouldn't bring you if I ever go to Hawaii because you'll steal my wallet?
 
I don't really evolve anything other than a growing sense of apathy in the workplace.
 
Type Bug/Bug/Bug
 
all those years chasing the Power Rangers have trained him well for Pokemon villainy
 
2:32 PM
@Yuuki No, that's exclusive to CardSwipe and the evolved CardSkim
 
2:44 PM
Oh man
I like the sound of #nomoreabvlimit, Dayton Beer Company
 
488
A: What causes signal 'SIGILL'?

DabblerIt works now. For anyone else struggling with Android/NDK/GCC/Eclipse, here's how I solved it: Bury a dead cat at midnight when full moon Restart the Android device emulator Haven't verified if both steps are really necessary, and if not, which one is redundant.

 
@Unionhawk's Alola form is a beer elemental
Which is actually a monster in WoW
 
@PrivatePansy DID THAT REALLY GET LIKE 200 UPVOTES IN THE LAST 2 DAYS
 
@Unionhawk DAMMIT @Wipqozn
 
@twobugs quick! everyone behind the pillar!
 
2:46 PM
@Unionhawk reddit has that effect on Stack Overflow posts
 
why do I still remember that mechanic...
 
@PrivatePansy god dammit reddit
 
r/ProgrammerHumor to be exact
 
reddit is why we can't have nice things
 
@twobugs hhaahhah
and yeah moreso reddit than me
 
2:52 PM
Wat. A British tennis star was poisoned at Wimbledon last month
 
Wat
 
@Wipqozn Don't worry, you are also the reason we can't have nice things
 
@twobugs Assumed poisoned. There is no proof (yet). Sure, it's probable, but not proven
 
2:58 PM
> The teenager is ranked 381 in the world
but why
 
@Arperum True. Their argument is the substance is rare enough that it's very hard to imagine how this would happen otherwise
 
@twobugs Theoretically if she left her drink out in the open a rat could have peed in it. But chances for that are rather slim.
 
@Sterno Are you going to be around for Overwatch tomorrow night?
 
@fredley WELP
 
3:02 PM
@Wipqozn Probably not until you're asleep. So, like, 9pm.
 
ughhhhhhhhhhhhh

@Sterno I will stay up late just to ply with you so I'm not proven a liar

Q: How are distances to objects measured?

IsziI posted a question about an in-game discovery on Astronomy, to see if a certain type of object I found could actually exist in nature. While the general answer seems to be "yes", there remains some ambiguity on the point of exactly what the thing should be called. One of the major factors in t...

 
3:06 PM
@fredley This is like super terrifying
 
@twobugs ikr
 
@fredley Now I feel old.
Because that happened 10 years ago. Like what the hell.
 
@MadMAxJr I just watched the new trailers. If there's one thing more terrifying than mad scientists trying to destroy the whole of space and time, it's teenagers
 
Speaking of terrifying, 'Stranger Things' on Netflix is wonderful if you enjoy 80s tropes.
How is that pronounced? Ah-low-lan?
 
@PrivatePansy let's destroy the space time continuum,,,,xD
 
@djsmiley2k Huh, that's... wow
 
So they're retooling Carol Danvers's origin story for the MCU due to similarities with Green Lantern.
Understandable, I guess, but I really hope she's still an ace pilot.
(For those who do not know, Carol Danvers is the current Captain Marvel and also used to be Miss Marvel. The MCU is skipping over the first/original)
 
@Yuuki there's speculation that a new aquaman movie will be really dark and horror-like, which I would absolutely love
 
@Kaizerwolf "Dark and horror-like". So like my experience with DCU movies so far? Grimdark and horrified at what they're putting on the screen?
Well, not really "grimdark".
But the DCU really needs to get its game together.
 
yes the DCU is disappointing
 
3:31 PM
Grimdark Aquaman - 90s mullet with hookhand - is the best version of the character I think
 
Dark and gritty is not the treatment you should be giving Superman. Yes, his environment can and probably should be depressing. But what makes Superman compelling is that he is a Good Man Person.
 
also, Justice League is a really crap name
 
Tomska on YouTube put it in a good way, DC has done too many reboots of Batman, and they got worse and worse. Then they tried to do a huge universe get-together of a ton of characters that we weren't really introduced to, as opposed to the MCU, and it just kind of flopped
 
Yes, DCAU Aquaman was great.
 
@Yuuki I agree with this
 
3:32 PM
also @Yuuki yeah like a Grimdark Aquaman
 
DCAU is pretty much incredible
 
The Question!
"AHA! 32 Flavors!"
Also best Green Arrow ever.
He has two goals. 1. Be a dick to Batman. 2. All other hero duties.
 
also DCU did way too many tv-show soap operas in an attempt to match the MCU tv shows
and they also pretty much sucked
 
Booster Gold was great in the DCAU
And they used the best Green Latern and not boring old Hal
 
Plus we had "John", Martian Manhunter.
 
3:34 PM
I find Superman comics at their best when they deal with human issues because it shows that Superman, despite his godlike power, is still a good kid born and raised in rural Kansas.
 
the newer Supergirl series was kinda very rubbish
 
Of course as much as I enjoy animated DC stuff, I need more Vertigo comics series.
Preacher was okay.
 
@Yuuki Yup, 100%
 
also unpopular opinion time; I hate Superman and I think he's a jerk
 
that went viral fast:
 
3:35 PM
@Kaizerwolf That's actually a fairly popular opinion
 
Someone poke Neil Gaiman until he agrees to make Sandman into something.
 
It's also wrong and I'm going to destroy you
 
(talking about a trump fan)
 
There was that really heartfelt scene in All-Star Superman with him talking to the jumper.
 
@Kaizerwolf I don't hate him, but I find Superman as a character extremely boring
 
3:36 PM
 
There was also that short lived Superman/Batman series that resulted in Lobo vs. Superman.
 
All Star Superman is pretty much the best
New 52 Action Comics is also great
 
Lobo is a cool character
 
"how is he going to be threatened this time? Oh, Kryptonite? WHAT A SHOCK! DC you ingenious people!"
 
@sequoiad I dunno. I also find Batman incredibly boring.
 
3:37 PM
Superman deals with stuff beyond Kryptonite
Frequently
 
@sequoiad yeah they set themselves up for a really shitty character plot line because his only weakness is a rock and it has to play into everything
 
"Oh no, Batman is in trouble! No wait, he has a PLAN!"
 
and yeah the Batman series has become boring to me as well
mostly one grungy movie after another
 
Original Batman:TAS is gold.
Of course I'm a sucker for that art style.
 
Adam West Batman is best Batman
 
3:38 PM
but also there's only so many "Batman punches everything and throws batarangs at people" videogames that we can have shoveled down our throats
 
Superman is the worst super hero of all time.
 
@ChaseC Nah
 
@twobugs Okay, only second to the Flash
 
@ChaseC I'd mention Booster Gold, but I don't think you'd get that joke.
 
@Kaizerwolf yeah, Loved Arkham Asylum, then City came and was a bit dull, and by Origins I'd given up caring
 
3:39 PM
Mr. Fantastic is pretty lame too
 
(P.S. Booster Gold is the best)
 
@Yuuki No idea who or what that is lol
 
Everybody knows that @Wipqozn is the worst super hero of all time
4
JEEZ
 
actually all the fantastic four are lame
 
GET IT RIGHT
 
3:40 PM
The thing is the best, and even he is a crappy version of the hulk
 
also @sequoiad the games perform progressively worse in terms of gameplay and compatibility over time
 
@ChaseC Time-travelling "superhero" who originally got into it to be famous and stuff. And now is an actual superhero but pretends to be a bumbling moron so his time-travelling enemies don't know to erase him from history.
Or erase him from the future? Time travel is confusing.
 
@ChaseC As long as you admit The Flash is worse I am satisfied
 
any song, video, movie, tv series, games whatever you can recommend? I want something to distract me, to calm me down.
 
3:41 PM
Maybe Adam West Batman is the Alolan form of grimdark Batman.
 
@Yuuki That sounds like a horrible version of the show 112263 lol
 
@Kaizerwolf yep. Also Asylum had a bit of nice novelty to playing a superhero game, but devolved into button-mashing beat-em-up by 2/3 of the way through
 
@twobugs <3
 
Asylum had those wonderful ambush zones, where you skulk around and off baddies one by one and the others get increasingly paranoid.
That was really the Batman experience right there.
 
@ChaseC Booster Gold is a lot older, I think.
 
3:42 PM
Anyway, Superman is really good but like any character who has been around for nearly 80 years he has some really bad stories
 
Or newer? Time travel is confusing.
 
@MadMAxJr yes, those bits were the absolute best of that game
sneaking round, scaring them, picking them off one by one... it was like being the baddie in a horror movie
Then swooping down and taking the last one out and looking awesome
 
@arda give me one moment, I'll find some good songs for you
 
@twobugs He can fly into the sun, can move entire planets, shoot lasers out of his eyes and loses all power and strength when presented with a rock
thats just so stupid
 
^
a sun? pshh whatever. Geology? oh fuck no
 
3:45 PM
Superman vs. Alien was silly.
 
@ChaseC Okay, so you must hate a lot of characters who are just powerful if not moreso
Like the Hulk, for example
Thor, etc.
 
Gets implanted by a face hugger. Bails out into space. In the rays of the sun, CRUSHES the xenomorph in his chest with a flex.
 
@twobugs who would you say is more powerful than superman?
 
A lot of characters.
 
Fanfic Superman is stronger.
 
3:46 PM
For starters, Black Adam is arguably stronger
 
Judging Superman comics on the fighting is just... weird to me.
 
true, Black Adam is good
 
Yes, I think it's the wrong way to think about it.
This is not a video game, characters do not need to be 'balanced'
 
Superman is a challenging character to write because he's pretty much godlike in physical power.
 
Another character who is stronger than Superman and literally invincible is The Hulk
 
3:48 PM
silver surfer
 
But you can still have interesting Hulk stories
 
@twobugs That depends on the writer, but yeah.
Because the Hulk didn't used to be that strong.
 
Dream could take Superman.
 
He's had a lot of power inflation
 
Then again DC/Vertigo aren't supposed to interact anymore...
 
3:49 PM
And then some writer with a raging (ha) Hulk-on wrote World War Hulk.
 
ALL OF THE WAT
 
Superman used to be controllable, but they tried to take him into so many different directions and now he's just lost. A lot like the x men, a lot of the story lines have messed up their powers and its taking so long to get back

A: Who in the DC Universe can stop Superman if he has a breakdown?

Thaddeus HowzeSuperman is arguably one of the most powerful metahumans on DC Earth. Since the DCnU reboot, it has not been determined if there is anyone physically more powerful. But if I were to consider all of the canon versions of Superman as a reference, Superman could be defeated by several heroes usi...

 
EVERY BIT OF THE WAT
 
@ChaseC Not really, there are distinct continuities
 
3:50 PM
And now you can't even take him seriously when he fights Batman, because one look from Superman and Batman should melt into a puddle
 
The whole smoke grenade scene in BvS had me bawling with laughter.
 
I mean in BvS Superman is not into the fight
Batman is trying to kill him, Superman isn't
 
Sure, but the smoke grenade should not work on Superman.
Like at all.
 
Oh yeah, I agree
 
why not?
 
3:52 PM
And he hadn't been exposed to the Kryptonite yet.

Q: Rock band guitar synching with Guitar hero dongle

Samuell GretkinsMy friend gave me Beatles rock band guitar along with two Guitar hero dongles(from GH3 and GH World tour) and said that he did connect guitar to them, but I didn't had that much success. Is there any tips how to do it, if possible? I was pressing button on a dongle and PS button on a guitar to tr...

 
if it's the scene I'm thinking of... it was a kryptonite smoke grenade
 
Wat wat = new Wat(this);
 
powdered kyrptonite or something
 
At the very least, a normal smoke grenade should not be a serious obstruction
@KutuluMike Before that
 
3:52 PM
oh.
 
@KutuluMike There was a distinct lack of green radioactive smoke.
 
BvS was one of the worst films I've seen since Elektra
 
BvS is an underrated film.
 
You're an underrated film
 
@twobugs By virtue of having probably the lowest rating I've ever seen for a blockbuster movie, yeah.
 
3:53 PM
@Yuuki I mean
 
@Yuuki Fantastic Four.
 
Yeah
 
And I haven't seen the Ultimate Cut, but I'm tired of "but the director's cut makes up for it".
 
BvS is a decent but flawed movie
 
If 'blockbuster' includes Fantastic Four, that's the winner
 
3:54 PM
People love to hate BvS for some reason but a lot of the complaints are not valid IMO.
 
@twobugs As in 00s or Fan4stic?
 
It's similar to people losing their shit in Avatar over "unobtainium"
 
@Yuuki As in the one that has like an 11
 
It had potential to be good, if it had been split into 2 films. The idea of the political/cultural ramifications of Superman existing is great material, but they rushed through it in a bad way to get to fighting
 
Or maybe lower
idk
 
3:55 PM
@Unionhawk Oh yeah. Well, that was so bad, I had amnesia and completely forgot about it.
 
That's fair
 
BvS is at least on par with the dozens of crappy MCU movies
 
It's depressing because they had a good cast. And if Chronicle has any say, a fairly competent director.
 
The ones people try to pretend don't exist but still act as if they're better than BvS
 
@twobugs Are there even dozens of MCU movies yet?
 
3:56 PM
Oh hmm.
 
it just felt like it needed an extra film's worth of time to actually explore that and develop the world around the movie much more than it did
 
@Yuuki There are at least 1 dozen
@sequoiad I will agree with this
 
@twobugs Which ones are the crappy ones?
I thought they were all at least decent.
 
@Frank For starters: Thor 2
 
@twobugs How so?
 
3:57 PM
@Yuuki 13
 
 
hey @arda try this
 
with roadmap for 22
 
@Frank I just don't think it had many redeeming factors
 
@Yuuki Warcraft has taught us that a competent director doesn't necessarily mean a good movie will come from it.
 
3:58 PM
just put it together from my collection of likes on SC, hope it helps
 
@twobugs It had Zachary Levi. For...all of five minutes or so.
 
I mean, I don't want to debate the quality of movies when I'm arguing that a much maligned movie isn't as bad as everyone says :P
I just think people have some serious double standards for Superhero movies
 
Iron Man, Avengers, Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, Civil War were all good so I don't think there's at least one dozen crappy MCU movies.
 
Especially if something like BvS is considered one of the worst
 
@twobugs I just don't like dark and depressing.
Which is what Man of Steel and BvS are.
 
3:59 PM
@Yuuki For definitions of several meaning 1/2 or less
 
are you counting X1,2 and 3? they were pretty bad
 
I wouldn't say they're exactly dark and depressing
 
I think the main issue with DC movies vs Marvel movies is tone. Marvel does their own thing. DC keeps trying to emulate Christopher Nolan.
 
@sequoiad Technically not MCU
 
hm. does anyone know of a Nintendo game with an "artistic wolf"?
 
3:59 PM
BvS isn't the worst, but when most of your problems are solved by having an extra 2 hours or so of screentime (not sure how long Ultimate Cut is), you're working with a bloated plotline.
 
@twobugs true
 
Christopher Nolan both revitalized and ruined the DC cinematic universe.
 
@Fluttershy I will also agree with this because I think Nolanbat is dumb and overly silly
