@fredley yes
Also: wtf pogo
Walking slowly should not cause going to fast warnings
 
GPS jitter
 
@GnomeSlice just paid $25 CAD for his whole collection. Worth it. Honestly his SoulsBorne tracks alone are worth it.
Thanks for always recommending music to me @GnomeSlice, it's appreciated. This is the first time I'vebought music from Bandcamp, and I imagine it'll be easy to toss down money in the future now.
 
@Arperum Yeah, they're super janky
GPS lock issues cause the message to pop up repeatedly
 
@Wipqozn One of us one of us one of us
 
I am just sitting here reading PHP CEO now.. Thanks.
 
3:12 PM
@Wipqozn check out Dexter Britain on bandcamp as well
 
@GnomeSlice Remind in in, like, a week
 
Going to go through this guys collection first
 
aight
@Wipqozn oh yeah, Tides of Time by Alex Roe is a good one too
that one might be my fav actually
Darksign is also dope
 
hmm is it not possible to download musicvia the app, or do you need to just stream it?
 
3:15 PM
@Wipqozn You can only download from browser
 
@GnomeSlice k
 
@Wipqozn But you can do that on your phone from your collection
You might have to req the desktop version of the site
I usually just download when I get home and then move it, otherwise stream, but I have a shitton of mobile data
 
@GnomeSlice I get 2GB a month
I'll probably be using this mostly in my car, so like to have it downloaded
when on my phone that is
 
My parents and I have 11 gb shared
 
Nice
 
3:20 PM
So my mother uses like 7 and my father and I use like 1 each
@Wipqozn smooth mcgroove is also on bandcamp
the beardy acapella guy

Q: What are the standings for the different alien species?

Tom HartIs there a list anywhere (in-game or out) of the standings you can have with the aliens? Also, are the standings the same per species, or does each one have it's own names?

Q: Getting past Transformations in "Seasons"

KevIn the last wizard training mission in Seasons, you're instructed to feed the frog to get green energy, then throw it at the graying plants. The plants beside the wizard never respond to green, and the ones below do, but wither pretty quickly again. Either way, the wizard never says anything mo...

 
Ugh I went 0-14 in that last game of Paragon
yikes
 
Man I might need to like, do financial planning and shit
Just so I can be sure I'm on a good financial track
 
Same, I'm probably going to look at whether or not refinancing my student loans will be beneficial or not
 
3:35 PM
@fredley mamota is busy nowadays :)
@Unionhawk nice new picture
 
I think I have the funds to survive this fall without touching savings at least
 
Nice old picture
 
So that's good
 
I mean, I have a 401k and everything but I feel like I should be more meticulous about stuff
 
Steam kicks open Unionhawk's door. "HI, I'M THE FALL SALE."
 
3:36 PM
Meh
I haven't spent any money in a steam sale since, like, 2014
 
Steam sales have been underwhelming for me and I have a buying problem
 
I have a buying problem with music
 
@twobugs yeah
 
apparently I've spent like $60 this month already
yikes
 
I spent 300usd on 2015 winter
 
3:38 PM
I guess I just feel like I should better manage my money, set up like an emergency fund, general use fund, and regular savings
 
So long as they don't bring back ridiculous meta games again.
 
I can't find anything worth buying nowadays
 
I need to figure out like my maximum deductible for health insurance and stuff
Ugh this is annoying
I'd feel more confident about a computer purchase if I could guarantee my other expenses were good though
 
Don't get aftermarket organs.
 
3:41 PM
@badp haha nice
 
though it's mostly a marketing thing
looking at the table, there will still be differences
 
So instead of 1080M, it'll be 1080 (laptop)?
Just, it's more approximately the same than M has been in the past?
I guess?
 
I guess the point is that the differences will be so minor as to be trascurable
 
the boost clock is slightly lower in a laptop
 
3:44 PM
I suppose if you remove all the fancy cooling and casing from a 1080, it probably won't be that massive
 
@arda *checks github* 2014
@sequoiad but well, it won't last a minute
 
I guess this is a move to finally stop Apple from shipping garbage GPUs with its, uh whatever its desktop things are called
their GPU choice for the 5k unit is pretty much garbage
 
You can customize it when buying afaik
 
They stuffed a 100+W graphics card into laptops
Which would actually melt your legs should you try to actually use them as such
 
3:48 PM
@PrivatePansy having used a laptop with a full 980 in, I can confirm this to be the case
the amount of heat and noise coming out of this "laptop" was insane
 
Apparently there's a new experimental patch for NMS on Steam which improves the graphics.
SO HYPED
I think I was lied to. it looks the same

Q: Minecraft: Game crashes when loading singleplayer world

MrPyroChickenWhenever i load a singleplayer world in a earlier version of minecraft 1.8.7 and below the game will crash. Also when loading minecraft 1.8 the game crashes on startup.

 
@Sterno you bought NMS on PS4 AND Steam?
 
@arda I've said that twice in chat at least and you've commented on it once before.
Are you actually surprised?
 
ohh it was you who did that, I remembered someone did, but didnt remember it was you
 
4:01 PM
 
tbf i did buy Overwatch on both ps4 and pc
 
@PrivatePansy It doesn't even spell it right but what I get out of this is ABBA. DANCING QUEEN, 17, I JUST WANT TO SCREAM
(may not be actual lyrics)
 
didn't have a good enough pc when it was released and got one later
 
I bought NMS for PS4, liked it, did not like the narrow POV. Got it on PC when I saw the FOV can be increased. Figured there would be enough other improvements too. Not so much on that 2nd part yet
PS4 FOV is ridiculous
 
@Sterno What, a black screen and then your Windows desktop?
 
4:04 PM
@Yuuki The game has always run fine for me other than it stuttered a little the first 3 minutes and the intro screen is always a little slow (for the 5 seconds I see it)
I take that back. Over my 20 hours played it did drop to like 5 FPS constant once and I had to restart the game. Probably a memory leak
 
@twobugs oh buuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnnnnnnn
 
Oh, got my Guardians of Harmony figurines today
The Discord one is huge and pretty well made. The Celestia one is disappointing
A lot of visible paint smudging
 
@fredley the prom episode went REALLY dark, but i didn't find the improv episode that bad
so i was not rekt
maybe i just didn't have enough time for it to sink in before i started S3

Q: How do I clear sectors Ochre and Opal in Space Station Oblivion/Driller?

Stephen CollingsI played this game way too much when I was little. I remember eventually getting a strategy guide. Dusted the game off again, and I could remember most of it, but sectors Opal and Ochre are giving me fits. I thought there was a weak point in the force field, but I can't find it. And I have no ide...

 
4:15 PM
It's disappointing because I actually want the Celestia one more.
It looks pretty bad in person and on closeup
 
That's just reminded me, I need to buy more Worbla
don't know why it reminded me though
 
@GnomeSlice yeah they take so long getting to the drop, then the drop is amazing, then the song is over
 
Also, the backdrop printed behind the figurine don't match the episodes where the pose comes from, which bothers me more than it probably should
 
@PrivatePansy pls
 
@PrivatePansy I don't know which pokemon these are.

Q: Google play achievement "Start the game for the first time" won't unlock

user163211The game is Danmaku Unlimited 2, also there are some other very simple ones that I've definitely done but won't unlock.

 
@MadMAxJr they're weirdly sexual, for pokemon
 
@MadMAxJr it is from an upcoming pokemon region called equestria
 
No, this is clearly Sun/Moon stuff.
 
@GodEmperorDune just listened. Pretty good but drop wasnt as good as I expected :/
 
@GodEmperorDune ಠ_ಠ
 
4:28 PM
@Yuuki ಠ_ಠ
 
@GodEmperorDune ಠ_ಠ
 
@arda ಠ_ಠ_ಠ
 
@GodEmperorDune garnet?
 
@arda wat
 
Are they the daughters of Arceus? Where's my Pokebibledex....
 
4:30 PM
NO
MY GOOGLE SWITCHED TO TURKISH
 
@GnomeSlice Yujp, I know who he is
 
@GodEmperorDune garnet
 
@GodEmperorDune ಠ‿ಠ
 
@Sterno How do you people afford to buy all these games
 
@Yuuki ಠ_ಠ_ಠ_ಠ
 
4:33 PM
@GnomeSlice I was born white and male. I had some very hardworking parents who helped put me through college (in addition to working myself). I studied computer science. I got a job in that field and have done good work and gotten decent compensation as a result. I also married a doctor, which doesn't hurt, but doesn't help as much as you might think.
 
@GnomeSlice I imagine @Sterno has cleverly invested his money over his thousand-plus year lifespan.
 
Ugh I'm gonna be poor forever
 
You have white and male going for you!
 
@Sterno high five for white privilege!
@GnomeSlice at least you have free healthcare
 
The trade off is he'll never be good at sportball.
 
4:36 PM
I also spent my entire life right up until I had kids living well below my means, making dropping an extra $60 on a game no big deal.
 
Yeah I'm bad at that
especially because my means are pretty low
 
good morning bridge
 
@Dragonrage moring
 
I'm trying to think of a good burn for @Sterno now but meh
 
My daughter goes to public school next year and I can't wait to get that daycare money back.
 
4:38 PM
@Sterno You make it sound like you're going to hand her an itemized bill because, "Nothing is free in America, dear."
"If you can't afford it, the Dad savings and loan bank has pre-approved you for a loan."
 
Only 19% APR
 
My college career was a waste
 
I'm really getting tired of support for this dude
 
of time and money
 
@Sterno 19% APR? that's practically an interest free loan!
 
4:39 PM
@GnomeSlice What did you go to college for?
 
He keeps ignoring what I tell him and just wants me to hold his hand
 
interactive multimedia
didn't learn much, they basically just taught us how to use the adobe suite of software
no principles of actual design or anything
came out wanting to do motion graphics
 
@Sterno Do you mean public school as in state paid? Or public school as in private school?
 
but freelancing is scary and hard and everyone tries to jerk you around
 
What level did you get?
 
4:40 PM
I don't know anything about interactive multimedia so I'm not saying in any way it was a waste of time, but I am surprised by how many people go to college without any thought about how to turn that into a paying career afterwards. They go "just to go" and hope they'll figure it out.
@Ronan state paid
 
@Sterno pretty much what happened to me
That was my final in the thing I wanted to get into after
 
@Sterno I think this has a lot to do with what we've let our education system become
 
there's like one company in my city that does it and I did my co-op there and they didn't like me
 
@GnomeSlice This sounds like Trump college
 
College is just What You Do
 
4:41 PM
@Sterno Good because fuck english and it's public school means private school.
 
probably because it was my first job ever and I was very unprofessional
 
the thing is a college degree in ANYTHING shows employers that you can actually stick around and do something difficult that lasts multiple years
 
@Ronan I've never heard that before.
 
@Ronan public school is literally private school
 
@GodEmperorDune Right, but it's a huge investment for that and it's become required for even many entry level jobs
 
4:42 PM
@GodEmperorDune Sure. Having one helps. But plenty of people have one. You need one that matters.
 
@Sterno It's probably specifically english, they're public schools because it's open to any one in the public (not just people who go to the associated church)
 
Man, @GnomePhone, this music really makes me want to paly some soulsborne
 
@twobugs hell yes its overpriced and another way to differentiate people based on SES and used as yet anotherbarrier for social mobility
 
@Ronan Silly Brits
 
@Sterno It just goes to show that we used to think that "any member of the public" meant rich people.
 
4:43 PM
@Ronan when what is regular school called?
 
@GodEmperorDune That and I think there are plenty of perfectly valid career paths where things like trade schools make far more sense
 
@GodEmperorDune State school.
 
@twobugs oh yeah
 
@Ronan So what would they be talking about if they say private school?
 
Anyway, I think college is in a fuct situation and there are a lot of problems with it
I'm sorry you had a bad experience @GnomeSlice
 
4:44 PM
@PrivatePansy One day I'll watch the newest season of my little your mom
 
@Sterno That's still paid, but not open to anyone, so things like you have to be a member of a church or something.
 
WHICH REMINDS ME
 
I should not have stuck it out to the end
 
It's unfortunately all too common
 
my program coordonatoe himself told me to drop out
coordinator
 
4:45 PM
College also has you spend a lot of time doing shit you'll never care about again. I'm looking at you, Military History class and Creative Writing class.
 
@GnomeSlice Jeez
 
I mean, I could care about them, but they're absolutely irrelevant to being a programmer
 
he said it was pretty clear i was there for the wrong reasons and didnt really want it
which was true
 
@Sterno military history sounds like it would be interesting
 
nope, no early release
 
4:46 PM
@GodEmperorDune It was interesting but why should it be required to graduate. I mean, it was an elective, I could have chosen any number of equally irrelevant topics.
 
@Sterno creative writing -> variable and function naming
 
@GnomeSlice and that case I'd say he was right. too many folks go to uni "just becauase they need to", or something
it's too much money and time
 
@GodEmperorDune Your variable and function names should tell a story
 
military history -> "what does this napoleon object do?"
 
@Wipqozn I never go to @uni just because I need to
 
4:46 PM
@twobugs no joke, that is literally what the book "clean code" is about
 
variables and functions are a code smell
2
 
smell?
 
yeah i've noticed that bad code always uses functions AND variables. they should really use one OR the other
 
@Sterno Stahp
 
how can our jobs be real if college isnt real
 
4:49 PM
Just get a job writing tweets for Jaden Smith
 
@GnomeSlice student loans are all too real
 
I had to shift degrees in college. What I wanted to do wasn't a field growing in demand and what was growing in demand wasn't what I really wanted. Sadly I went with programming and business and I'm now one of those people who doesn't write new code, I just maintain the code left behind by the high class developer who quit because you didn't treat them right.

Q: How do I fix colored logs in Skyrim?

ChemistRecently, I have gotten into Skyrim modding. It can be quite fun and make one's game significantly better, but at the same time, sometimes there are issues. The following screenshot was taken in "The Bannered Mare" in Whiterun: As you can most likely see, the logs are discolored. This is not ...

Q: What does 'battles won' mean in pokemon go?

Joeytje50I've seen a couple of gyms around with a gym leader where it says "Battles won: 1". I tried googling what it is, but all I find is guides how to win gym battles, so not answering my question. So does anyone know what it means?

 
My passion is to consume the soul of youtube lets play stars and live off copious amounts of ad revenue through light comedy antics, improv sketches, and video game commentary.
Sadly there is no degree program for that and it doesn't seem to be a growing field.
Soul Eating 101: Fundamentals
 
4:55 PM
@twobugs I mean the best I have is in the avenue of "old people have more disposable income" or something
Which is meh/meh at best
 
@Unionhawk Well at least he is going to die or something
But we all are (maybe)
 
WOW
 
RIP @UNIONHAWK :(
the tugboat has died
 
@twobugs I'm 22/22 so far on "years without dying"
 
My passion is to get in on the ground floor of @twobugs eventual 100 million viewers Twitch fame and reap 50% of the ad revenue, all by buying him a copy of Bad Rats 2
 
4:57 PM
> Australian gas 40% cheaper in Japan than in Australia despite export costs
wat
 
@Unionhawk lies, you just died
 
I think the office is limiting YouTube traffic for me now or something, or maybe all? I dunno
 
@Sterno I will allow this
