2:00 PM
they only really take out the dumbest of tracers
 
I think Symmetra needs a complete rework.
 
We've discussed that in the Overwatch room, though.
 
Just pull Symmetra out of the 'Support' block and put her in the 'I'm not really sure' block.
 
defense would be the best place for her
but at that point another support would be needed to balance out the classes
 
2:01 PM
@MadMAxJr they did change "no support" to "no healer"
 
hell, Zarya's more support than Sym at this point
 
The main argument for symmetra support is teleporters
Which are better than a mercy revive in some respects
 
A friend in my group often will not put down Symmetra's teleport because she thinks it's dumb. :|
 
They're dumb.
 
they're balanced though. they can only return a team of 6 (or that one pro genji who dies a lot) 1 or 6 times
 
2:04 PM
No I mean that person is dumb
 
ohhhhhhhhhh
ye
my b
 
She probably wouldn't be happy unless it had an omnic ice-cream vendor attached and also had an attached water mister for the heat on Temple of Anubis.
 
reading the usage report, I'm surprised Pharah was f-tier
 
@MadMAxJr But what about Volskya Industries? Who wants ice cream there?
 
@Unionhawk The dead heroes the monument is for?
 
2:05 PM
@Unionhawk That's the perfect place for a hot fudge sundae
So I think my workflow now is going to be creating a script to convert this file to a different format so I can load it into this expensive program (which has blocked my importing of certain file types) and then export it as the original file type
 
Dear Blizzard, instead of trying to adjust a few heroes to be more awesome, how about you make the rest more terrible?
 
If that sounds annoying - yes
 
also the whole community is busy dribbling over Sombra, which is already getting old
buff everyone until everyone is overpowered
 
@arda dammit >_< should have seen that coming
 
@twobugs Sounds like fun.
 
2:10 PM
@sequoiad starlist?
yeah, no online
people should check the rest too - some more pretty surprising stuff is in it too
 
Yes, like Friday
 
@twobugs yes
maybe
I just like stars
 
There. Spaceplan finished.
 
@Frank same

Q: What's wrong with Minecraft 1.10?

bobEvery time I switch to Minecraft 1.10, I load a new world to look at the new features. My world appears, I take a look at my surroundings, but as soon as I do something like open my inventory or hit a mob, it crashes. Apparently I don't have enough memory or something, but I don't see how that co...

 
Would the real Donald Trump please shut up
 
@fredley He was asked multiple times to confirm that was what he meant.
Now he's backpedaling?
 
[ELLIPSIS INTENSIFIES]
 
@Frank Well, you see, he was on his own during the interview, but then afterwards he went back to a room with the people who run his campaign and they were all like
 
2:26 PM
@StrixVaria This campaign is so surreal.
Republicans know he's a moron, but they want the presidency so bad, they're holding onto what little chance they have.
 
I know. There were we watching House of Cards thinking 'imagine if it really was this awful'. How naïve.
 
@StrixVaria no

@fredley HE TELLS IT LIKE HE IS EXCEPT WHEN HE DOESN'T
@Unionhawk cc @fredley
 
I don't even know what Trump is doing at this point

I wish it was 1pm already so I could wait another hour to start hearing NMS PC reviews

@twobugs I imagine his campaign team are losing the will to live, and he's being able to go further and further on his leash
 
@fredley Quite possibly

Q: Where is the door for the green gemstones in Steven Universe: Attack the Light?

odinkirkI forgot the location and my searching has availed me naught. It's somewhere in the first two worlds but I'm not seeing it going back through them.

Q: How to use power stance with rapier in right hand in Dark Souls 2?

milarepaI can only use the rapier in left hand when power stance. I really want to use it on my right hand because I normally use my left hand to use the staff. I seen people power stance with rapier on right hand, in my case when I power stance the rapier in right hand, the rapier becomes sheated and I ...

 
2:37 PM
Oh god past me you did some dumb things in this code
 
@Unionhawk the other week I found some of my old Pascal school code, it was truly terrible
 
I'm pretty sure the summary of every code revisit is "Mistakes were made"
It's almost as if software coding is tricky or something
 
TRUMP/PENCE 2016: “IT’S A PRANK BRO”
 
Oh god this function doesn't do anything it claims to do
 
The ticket of "ironic trolling" doesn't seem to be working so well in 2016
Maybe 2020
 
2:40 PM
Who wrote this function?
Me?
Jesus
 
Me, Jesus
 
Oh man, if 2020 is to 2016 as 2016 is to 2012, we're doomed
 
@Unionhawk dun dun duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun
 
Hold on, if that function doesn't do the thing, then where is the thing being done?
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE THING
 
A very good question
 
2:42 PM
Oh I see
It's in a different function called UpdateThing() instead of the function called LoadThing()
 
@Unionhawk the entire Software project lifecycle, summed up perfectly in one sentence.
 
Where LoadThing() has nothing to do with Thing and I guess I never noticed that
 
@fredley Earthrexit?
Wrexit?
Man, Brexit was a dumb word in the first place so doing a whole world version is dumb too
 
3dexit
We're going to leave this horrible 3d universe behind
 
The winner of the women's 10k run lapped most of the rest of the field twice or thrice during the race!
 
2:47 PM
OK, LoadThing is now LoadOtherThing and is totally related to OtherThing
 
@MBraedley ...Damn
How long were the laps?
 
Wish me luck.... https://t.co/p3aHN5SSlS
2016, just stop. Please stop
 
I mean, Mac and Cheetos were a flop I think
 
What's next? Doubledownrito?
 
@twobugs She averaged something like 68s laps
 
2:50 PM
@MBraedley Good lord
 
New world record by about 14s
 
For refrance: hands are roughly the size of heads
 
That's huge
@fredley Only if you have cancer
 
@twobugs nup, put your hand on your face. Apporximately the same size
 
2:51 PM
smashes your hand when you do that
Heh, owned.
 
Lots of national records and personal bests as well.
 
@MBraedley dope!
 
so, SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Who here does programming on a mac?
 
@Wipqozn me
 
@fredley How do you like it?
 
2:55 PM
@MBraedley Drugs
 
@Wipqozn I think it's pretty great tbh
 
Actually, she finished averaging 68s laps. Overall, she was doing 70.3s laps.
 
For webdev that is
Xcode is cancer
 
@TimStone Wait, I think I heard about this, but it was called the "eggnormous burrito" or something
Or is that a different burrito item available at BK?
 
Oh yeah, that exists too as a breakfast item
I heard a commercial for it on the radio the other day, but have not witnessed it
 
2:56 PM
Coming soon (maybe): The Triple Double Down
 
She got that much faster throughout the race.
 
Now I want a Whopperito
A double whopperito. With cheese
I actually have burgers wrapped in tortilla shells quite a bit when I grill because we always have tortillas on hand but rarely bread
 
@Sterno #lifehack
 
I mean, I'd get more bread, but there's a blizzard and I don't know how to make snowshoes to get to the store

Ending to spaceplan was great
 
3:00 PM
I'm sure you could using those taco shells
 
Incrementals with endings best incrementals
 
@fredley I see I see. I ask because there's some talk of getting the whole team onto macs, not sure if it'll happen, but I lie working on Linux... but my boss made a couple good points why the whole team should switch to mac if we did. A few of the guys all think it's great, but they also are pretty much front end devs only, never do much back end stuff. and all of'em like to use a GUI based tool,s where I use a combination of a terminal and GUI. Butbefore I'm like "NO MACS NO MASTERS"..
@fredley ...wanted to get some opinions from folks who use'em for dev work already
 
@Wipqozn If you use Linux you'll be right at home
It has a shell that is essntially the same
If you're building Linux stuff (i.e. for web), I'm amazed you're not using them anyway tobh
 
@fredley We all run linux right now, for the most part. Those of us doing dev work anyways.
 
@Wipqozn Yeah, the switch to Mac will be pretty easy then, although it takes a little upfront work to get a package manager set up etc.
(brew)
Some devs may get butthurt about specifics of workflows being broken, because some things in Mac are simply What You Get (workspaces can only be oriented left-right, no up-down, and you cannot disable the animation on switching, for example)
 
3:06 PM
@fredley Those seem like really minor things to get upset over
But devs are notoriously picky
 
@twobugs Well quite.
But generally speaking MacOS is still pretty great. If you do end up making the switch there's quite a few tips I can give you on getting set up
 
I've thought about it as well
 
@Wipqozn just install parallels and your fav linux distro
 
Some things are just so good it makes using other machines hard: Magsafe connectors, and the trackpad in particular
I don't know why nobody else can make trackpads that come anywhere near Mac ones in terms of responsiveness
Downside: port tyranny (becoming less of an issue)
i.e. no mac laptops ship with RJ45 any more
Depending on your office networking setup this could be a significant overhead to switching (a fast, robust wifi network)
 
Great job @fredley
"We're doing the brexit because of Democracy you see, but we wouldn't want everyone to vote"
Everyone voting would be terribly inconvenient.
 
3:14 PM
@twobugs I know, it's a shitshow
@twobugs "We don't want to allow this guy to win again with a massive mandate, because he's unelectable"
Literally the line of reasoning
Personally I probably would not vote for him for a number of reasons, but the shit Labour is pulling is ridiculous
 
That's like when the DNC said superdelegates exist to protect the party from a strong grassroots movement, as a strong grassroots movement was trying to prove that the party was corrupt.
 
@Wipqozn One upside if you switch to Mac is that you can act snottily superior to everyone who doesn't.
 
@StrixVaria Pretty much
 
Pretty sure that's a requirement on the box, actually.
 
@Sterno He already uses Linux, he can do that anyway
 
3:17 PM
@Sterno Yeah, this is great, except I basically never see people who don't, so...
@twobugs maximum oversnot
 
He can be a distro hipster
Heh. You've probably never heard of my indie folk distro.

We are so lucky Trump is a cretin. Imagine a competent politician running on this stuff, with more skillful dog-whistling to extremists
 
@fredley 2020.
Pence/Gingrich
 
Newt/Hannity
 
Satan/Satan
 
Ugg/Urghh
 
3:26 PM
Did you just compare trump to satan
 
Any UK politician/Any UK politician
 
No, I didn't
 
@Ronan Because we've taken America back for its own good?
 
That would certainly be worse
 
We were jokingly listing tickets that would suck
So I took it to the next level
 
3:27 PM
@twobugs Satan/Stan*
 
I am well aware that Trump is not Satan but he is a very disgusting person
 
@fredley Because all our politicians are people who would sink a country for personal gain?
 
Santa
 
@GnomeSlice VP or Presidential, you think?
Probably VP. The VP pick is usually to make the Presidential candidate more palatable.
 
@Ronan our
 
3:29 PM
True....
 
@fredley Is setting up virtual machines easy to do? Assuming you know. That's my main concern - all our servers our linux based, so having a local linux distro to do any local work on (if needed), is something I'd want.
 
lol, my calorie tracking app and my pebble step tracking app are causing some fun interactions involving double counted step bonuses
goddammit
 
@Wipqozn Yeah, Virtual Box is what I use, everything else is just as straightforward as any other platform
 
@Wipqozn parallels is pretty easy
 
Also, I wen to a meeting, sat around for 5 minutes and no one showed up. go to someones office "oh there you are bryan, where were you?" "In the meeting room you booked" "I booked a meeting room?" ..........................
 
3:31 PM
VB should work too
 
@fredley virtualbox is what I use as well on linux for windows testing, so cool
 
@Wipqozn You can do nifty stuff like an 'invisible' vm, where your Linux apps literally just float in windows like everything else
 
@Unionhawk TRACKING!!! START???
 
@Unionhawk ooh you switched to pebble too? nice
 
@twobugs It's doing fun things like "Google Fit Workout - 6 minutes, Google Fit Workout - 3 minutes, Google Fit Workout - 29 minutes"
@arda I already had a pebble gen 1, I just needed a watch pin
One of the pins flew out so yeah
 
3:33 PM
@Unionhawk when did you buy it?
@Unionhawk plexfit?
if less than 2 years and your screen has issues, they send a time
 
@arda Yes
@arda It's at least 2
And the screen is ok
 
@Unionhawk nice
all 3 of my OGs had screen issues
 
@arda It was the only one with google fit integration which I wanted
I think
It was the only one at a glance with google fit integration
 
still don't hesitate to mail them if you have any issues with pebble. They at least give discount coupon afaik
 
user15026
Last day of work before vacaaaaation
 
3:35 PM
@Unionhawk I think not the only one, but the best one
 
I used misfit in the past and that doesn't even use google openid so screw that
 
Misfit is very meh
 
google openid best openid
 
praise be to almighty Google
 
best I used to date is pebble health on time and plexfit
 
3:36 PM
I accepted my google overlords a long time ago
 
table tennis is suprisingly tiring
 
Truly, you know the deepest secrets of our hearts, yet continue to show us Love
Google best deity
 
@fredley cool. Well, I'm certainly willing to give it a try now. Thank you sir.
 
lol I walk nearly nothing nowadays apparently
 
Plexfit does the Apple Watch thing where it says "yo you've been sitting in a chair for like an hour please to do the fix" too which is probably going to be great for me
 
3:39 PM
@Unionhawk Oh that sounds good
I should get that
 
plexfit's calibration thing is good
 
I should also re-set-up pebble tasker
and tasker in general since none of my profiles or tasks are on this phone except for "if calendar event stfu"
 
There was this cute fit app with a fat cat
I will use that one
 
I wonder if "if wifi near wifi on" works anymore
 
3:41 PM
IcyVeins spec guides are becoming more and more like Noxxic's
 
@sequoiad Yup, they're both frustratingly unhelpful
 
also you reminded me. I have to ship this OG soon to a friend. Used to have screen issues but fixed
 
It did in the past where it would be able to tell wifi near without needing to have wifi on
 
Well, Noxxic is worse than that
 
@twobugs IcyVeins used to be half-decent, but seems like now the've just started following the dps meters like Noxxic
 
3:43 PM
@twobugs hearthstone meta builds?
 
user15026
@Unionhawk my fitbit does that. :)
 
Oh god they're putting together alternate electives I think my IoT class is in danger of being removed for low enrollment
 
Maybe?
> I can't wait for when they reveal Alola Alakazam, the reason he's Fighting is because He couldn't find any spoons in Alola.
 
they missed a huge opportunity to call him "Alolakazam"
 
@Yuuki Alola is basically Troll Generation right?
 
3:51 PM
they have a sandcastle pokemon @fredley
troll generation is a bit too light
 
@fredley Well, according to the Pokedex entry, nobody knows why Alola Raichu evolved the way it did, but Alolans believe it's because Pikachu ate too many pancakes.
So yeah, sounds about right.

@arda well played
 
he's a fat rat
 
@GodEmperorDune haha, I used @Sterno's trick and improved it
he would be proud
 
3:53 PM
the pear put it over the top
 
@GodEmperorDune I should go ahead and put the one yuuki first used - did
 
I need to try out PlexFit
 
@SaintWacko there is 14 day trial. Definitely give it a shot
 
do you need a smart watch or will it work on just the phone?
 
3:57 PM
@Kaizerwolf you need pebble
 
ah, oh well
 
But yeah, use google fit if you just have a phone
 
does plexfit sync with google fit?
 
OH MY GOD PERFECT stackoverfIow.com
@fredley yes
my brain started burning and is confusing languages
 
@arda wait what
 
3:59 PM
@fredley charizard actually has a dragon form so that doesn't really work. But I'm also being pedantic about pokemon calling a plant a dragon so what the fuck why not
 
@GodEmperorDune someone bought stackoverf i ow.com and redirected it to rebecca black
cc @Sterno
 
@arda was it @fredley
 
@GodEmperorDune maybe
 
"someone..."
 
@GodEmperorDune whois time
 
4:01 PM
@arda protected
 
partyin partyin yeah!
 
@KevinvanderVelden But not dragon type thatsthejoke.jpg
 
Fire/dragon in one of his forms
 
Charizard isn't dragon type in Gen 1, so it's not dragon type at all
 
4:03 PM
Neither is the plant-eggs
 
@KevinvanderVelden Yeah, but that's not Mega Charizard X climbing up the ladder, so...
 
Hmm, I thought you couldn't see flags on your own posts
 
@KevinvanderVelden so many flags today
 
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu‌​uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu‌​uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu‌​uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu‌​uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh

Q: Install Dedicated Server for CS:GO beta

aequabitIn Steam, you can install the 'demo_viewer' beta for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, which is basically an old version of CS:GO from 2013. I tried to install a dedicated server through steamcmd by using the -beta command line option, but it just installed the newest CS:GO version. Does anybody ...

 
4:15 PM
@KevinvanderVelden you can't vote on flags on your own stuff
 
Ugh. Lots of annoying stuff going on to make me upset
@arda No, they cover lots of stuff besides Hearthstone
 
@twobugs I know and use Icy for both D3 and sometimes HS
 
Anyway, WoW drama pissing me off, stupid acquaintance I have to hang out with pissing me off, etc.
 
Looking back on the transcript, re: Trump/Satan comparison... There is an argument that could be made to show how the two aren't as different as you'd think. :P
 
which part is getting bad?
 
4:20 PM
@KevinvanderVelden NBC also didn't air Simone Manuel's medal ceremony, because NBC is terrible
 
The WoW part is bad, and they (Icy Veins) used to be at least a moderately decent introductory source of info
 
Awarding them exclusive broadcasting rights in the US through 2032 is just another example of IOC incompetency
 
@KevinvanderVelden wtf is this shit? Journalism is dead.
 
All the resources for Hearthstone are bad, no exceptions really
 
@twobugs yeah
The best resources are the ones you create
 
4:22 PM
Not really, it's very helpful to know what decks are currently active in the meta
 
Icy Veins does a pretty good job with their HotS stuff, last I checked. And Diablo 3.
 
And you need a lot of information for that
@Fluttershy I've only used them for WoW, and they're scraping the bottom of the barrel
 
@Fluttershy Their WoW stuff has gone right downhill
 
We were comparing them to Noxxic, which is a site that has "slick" presentation and absolutely garbage everything else
 
I don't remember what resources I used for WoW when I played. I think Elitist Jerks, more than anything?
Sometimes I miss the reputation I had on my old WoW server.
 
4:25 PM
I get they've just had to re-write them all for the new specs
but still, very little of the old effort of actually explaining things has continued
 
@Fluttershy EJ is super dead
RIP EJ (cc @LessPop_MoreFizz)
 
@TimStone or because NBC paid the most
jokes on them, i watch the bbc coverage instead
 
NBC paying the most is awful because they have so many ads whenever I try to watch
 
You guys are gonna make me all wistful and nostalgic for my WoW character. ;-;
 
and by 2032 no one will be watching tv anyway
 
4:27 PM
I guess that's to offset the $Texas price they paid

Civ V opening theme is super loud?
 
@sequoiad Nah. I was a rogue. And, for the longest time, I was the go-to dps whenever the Alliance needed one for a raid. I'd log in and get mobbed with tells asking me to join their raid/dungeon. I also had a lucrative leatherworking business, and would get paid to protect lowbies leveling in contested zones.
It was nice.
 
@sequoiad We did a heroic HFC last night and I played my DH. IT was pretty frustrating because of all the missing mechanics

cc @Unionhawk @TimStone
 
4:33 PM
It's so beautiful. They should have sent a poet ;_;
 
@sequoiad IT was just rough because you have like less than half your rotation and the numbers are not designed for 100
One of the officers keeps swearing that the 5 talent tiers and artifact "won't change anything" (note that he has not played beta)
Plus a few people in my guild are being rude to each other
 
@PrivatePansy what
 
Made for some crappy drama
I'm just really burned out on people ATM
 
@arda It's pretty good, and goes quite a bit into modern and post-modern art
I mean meep-morp
Postmodern meep-morp

Q: How to do one step back in a quest "Molecular Level"?

J. ByczwąsI want to take one step back in Molecular Level. Talking with everyone starts with talking about the relay, but I want to turn side quests instead, but I have no option to do that, because dialog about relay interrupts everything. How do I step back that quest to "Return To Virgil" objective?

 
I like how Space Plan basically just tells you not to think about how silly it is
 
good morning bridge
 
I hate, when non-tech people, try to to have an opinion on tech matters.
 
@Wipqozn like when a non tech person says that a task should be easy?
 
"Our website needs to pop more."
 
4:49 PM
@Dragonrage or tries to explain how a thing works
 
@Yuuki Clearly it needs to soda more
 
@Wipqozn oh, yea, that is stupid too
