Boo. Trying to get into whatever this router thingie is for internet, but nobody has any credentials, that I can find.
 
1:04 AM
Hmmmmmmm
Do I give this Olog the privalege of death this time, or do I not
 
privalege?
 
He betrayed me. So I poisoned his mind the last time.
A fate worse than death
 
privilege bro
 
(that's literally what that skill is called, "worse than death")
 
also is that shadow of mordor because ive been reading about that and it sounds dope
 
1:07 AM
@cazc_941 Shadow of War
 
Now all he can say is stuff about not wanting the fort, and that I can have the fort
Oh hey, betrayal
GUESS WHO GETS TO GET REKT
THIS GUY GETS TO GET REKT
 
Mordor didn't have forts or a complex loyalty system like what i am hearing
 
OH FUCK DOUBLE BETRAYAL
TRIPLE
THE GAME REALLY DID NOT LIKE ME HITTING RECRUIT ON THAT GUY
HOLY SHIT
 
@Unionhawk cut your losses and kill him now
 
THAT'S A FUCKING QUAD
WHAT THE SHIT IS THIS, GAME
 
1:11 AM
lol, it would be funny if everyone follows suit leaving you with no one and a convenient pop up appears going "lost your entire army? you can buy them back here"
 
ALL MORDOR WILL KNOW YOUR FAILURE

Q: I can't open NBTExplorer with mac

ZydatronI'm trying to get a color coded world in minecraft, and i looked up a NBTExplorer tutorial to do so. I double clicked on the LevelName: file and nothing popped up. I downloaded the mac version, but it still won't open. Any help please?

 
1:45 AM
@Frank but what's the chances of it being localized
like Attack on Titan's game was localized because it's a fairly recent game. there hasn't been a new Full Metal Panic installment for a few years
 
@Memor-X It's got english voice acting.
@Memor-X There was supposed to be a new season this year.
 
@Frank huh. i do recall some sort of announcement but don't recall what came from it
@Frank hmmmm, might be enough for me to get since you don't actually need to read a japanese UI
 
It's apparently an RTS of some sort.
 
unless ofcause it's one of those games that get released in China with english language support but then never makes it way to western stores so you need to buy it from ebay or play asia
 
2:09 AM
Hmm... trying to figure out the name of a Halo track and I'm having problems.
 
user15026
@Frank what make/model?
 
@Ash Xplornet POE something or other.
I already called them and got the info I needed.
 
user15026
A PoE is an injector of power over ethernet, separate from the CPE and/or any router, generally
 
user15026
(augh now I am curious about their setup)
 
user15026
(Also I hope they're better out there than they are here)
 
user15026
2:13 AM
(sorry this is just my jam)
 
@Ash I figured. :)
It's basically an adapter looking dealie.
 
user15026
@Frank I'm assuming you have a outdoor CPE somewhere
 
Insert what looks like network cable into the POE, regular network cable into LAN port, plug box into power.
@Ash I've got a big antenna on my roof.
 
user15026
@Frank yep! That makes sense
 
user15026
the one cable is an outdoor rated likely gel filled ethernet cable
 
user15026
2:15 AM
(I would hope they're using outdoor rated gel filled anyhow)
 
user15026
the "adapter thingie" is a PoE injector - power over ethernet
 
@Ash Speedtest thinks I'm in Toronto. :P
 
user15026
@Frank is it testing to toronto? or actually geolocates you there?
 
@Ash That's where it says I am.
Google is fine.
Just Speedtest.

Weird IP tagging?
 
user15026
(we had a lot of problems when we bought a block that had been used in the US, for a while it didn't always get geotagged right so sometimes people would get blocked from stuff incorrectly)
 
Maybe.
Unsure.
But I get waaaaaay faster internet than I'm supposed to.
 
user15026
Maybe they're not queueing you right
 
user15026
I'd not argue :P
 
I'm not!

Q: Where to get patches for older games?

deltarayI recently bought a legit copy of Neverwinter Nights 2 on sale at a bookstore. Yes I know it's 11 years old now. I'd still like to be able to patch the game and use a no-cd patch if possible, but alas the site nwn2.com seems long gone. I checked archive.org and a few other places and even links ...

 
3:04 AM
A bit slow, but damn if it's not decent, at least.
 
@Lazers2.0 Kinda sucks NWN2 was taken off Steam
 
user15026
3:18 AM
@Frank what is this
 
@Ash SpaceChem, only with alchemy
 
user15026
oh, I see
 
user15026
not a thing I'd like then :P
 
user15026
because games like that hurt my brain and not in a fun way
 
@Ash It's soothing the twitchy bits of my brain right now.
 
user15026
I just can't plan things in a way that pleases games like that
 
3:48 AM
@Unionhawk that's pretty cool
 
user15026
@cazc_941 Okay I wasn't losing my mind, I thought I'd seen this before
 
Hue
Same makers as Spacechem / infinifactory
Very much not for you, I'm afraid
 
user15026
@cazc_941 Oooooh, yeah that would explain why my brain goes nope
 
user15026
Because you are very right in saying it is very much not for me

Q: What's Sonkwo (杉果游戏)? What kind of reputation do they have?

user3306356I'm pretty sure I never signed up, but a while back I started getting newsletters from Sonkwo (杉果游戏). Their newsletters look pretty professional and they seem to run deals fairly frequently. They have their own site over at: Sonkwo.com. Their about page, though, links to this site at: Ceasia.c...

Q: Needing a gamer guide book

george raszlerDoes anyone know where I can find a good copy,paper or hardback, of Wolfenstein, The new order.strategy guide.Thanks

 
Oh lol, that Loot Box incremental lets you buy lootboxes with real gold, but when you actually click to buy them, you can close the page and say "yup, I paid", because the dev is too lazy to implement the interactions
 
@Nzall No they aren't. they just don't mind. There is code related to it, the cyber police will come after you.
 
aaaaa this person wrote 'USB' as 'yuespi' (the way it's read in turkish)
 
(Also, you're at least the fourth person reporting this behaviour)
@Avery This is a positive AAAAA?
@Avery And this a negative aaaaa?
 
@Avery hue
 
6:54 AM
OH fuck, 2 weeks after I gifted my brother Destiny 2 through Humble Bundle, Blizzard introduces gifting via the official client
 
@Arperum I would imagine it depends on how many 'a's there are, since if a < 0, then you need an odd number of 'a' for 'aaa...' to be negative
 
@PrivatePansy ... This actually supports my hypothesis.
 
But AAAAA could also be negative
 
@PrivatePansy True, but @avery's AAAAAAAAAA has an even number of A's.
 
Ah. So it must be positive. Math!
 
7:01 AM
And her second aaaaa has an odd number of a's, so that would mean that a is negative if that statement is negative.
 
@Arperum it's a positive aaaaaaaa
I like the odd = negative, even = positive idea
 
@Avery \o/ And the other one is negative? So that would be proof that 'a' is a negative number.
 
@Arperum yes

Q: Fire Emblem Warriors: Classic Mode vs. Casual Mode Incentives

Chase IngebritsonI just started Fire Emblem Warriors for the Nintendo Switch and came across the selection to choose between Casual Mode and Classic Mode. The game described the two modes as being able to revive allies vs not being able to revive them until a certain point, but it did not seem to mention any sort...

Welp tf2 put the jetpack behind paywall

@Avery and i assume you have to pay for that?
 
Yes
 
Morning-ish chat

Oh wow.
I got rekt.

Turkish ministry of education managed to release an update that locked down the smartboards enough that I can't breach the security with everything I have with me rn
The boards have dualboot windows-pardus, and you need a keyboard to access pardus.
 
Time for a teensy as USB keyboard?
 
@KevinvanderVelden i was thinking about digispark
 
Those are pretty tiny as well
 
They take a while to boot though
Like, a second or so after plugging in
 
There's probably different bootloaders you can use
 
8:48 AM
So I made a list detailing what I know and I have 7 potential attacks towards the thing
@KevinvanderVelden i use micronucleus
 
@Avery Are you TRYING to get kicked from your school?
 
@Nzall nah
12th grade, they'd need to be pretty ballsy to try and kick me
 
A hilariously depressing read about how encryption and other cryptosystems get breached
spoiler: it's usually not the math or the crypto constructs themselves, it's the end user failing to use the system properly or some insider breaching the system
> Banks in the English speaking world dismiss about one percent of their staff every year for disciplinary reasons, and many of these sackings are for petty thefts in which ATMs can easily be involved. A bank with 50,000 staff, which issued cards and PINs through the branches rather than by post, might expect about two incidents per business day of staff stealing cards and PINs.
 
9:22 AM
@PrivatePansy The hard part is not the crypto. The hard part is key management and trust.
But yeah, Ross Anderson is best at showing up terrible bank crypto implementation
IIRC his team did the offline Chip + PIN hack, enabling offline payments to be made with any (stolen) card without knowing the PIN.
> The flaw is that when you put a card into a terminal, a negotiation takes place about how the cardholder should be authenticated: using a PIN, using a signature or not at all. This particular subprotocol is not authenticated, so you can trick the card into thinking it’s doing a chip-and-signature transaction while the terminal thinks it’s chip-and-PIN. The upshot is that you can buy stuff using a stolen card and a PIN of 0000 (or anything you want).
> We did so, on camera, using various journalists’ cards. The transactions went through fine and the receipts say “Verified by PIN”.
 
@fredley Why do cards still support signatures? Cards in EU have been required to use PIN authentication for I believe decades now
 
9:40 AM
Because the UK is "special"?
 
AFAIK here we only use signature for credit, debit has the chip
Also, I hope you all have a good (insert part of the day you are at now)
 
just checking, first gen PS4's can run PSVR right?
 
@Moacir In Belgium at least, you need to use pin numbers for both debit and credit
Apart from when you use your credit card online
 
9:56 AM
@Nzall Most of cards use pin, even for credit, but the option for swipe is just for credit
I have pin only in my card, but I dont have the credit option enabled
Not because I got no credit, but because if I have it I spend it.
 
10:34 AM
I lately have been playing that X3:Terran Conflict. I got in a humble bundle a long time ago
It is a nice space game when you get used to it, but the learning curve is kinda high

Q: How to disable disappearing bodies?

user198899The way Wolfenstein 2009 handles bodies is extremely immersion-breaking. Dead enemies seem to disappear nearly instantly, even when you're fighting against other enemies in the same room, leaving behind glowing weapons (the game highlights collectable items). There's a Steam thread about this is...

 
11:33 AM
Never saw anyone use signature though.
Pin or none, with latter being RARE
 
MORNING GYM COMPLETE
Let's see if I can keep it up
 
If it keeps up for more then 3 hours remember to call a doctor
 
I got a mix of good and bad news recently. This morning, I learned that apparently, I have 141.6 hours of paid vacation which I didn't know about because of Belgian rules which changed a few years ago
 
So far it sounds like pure good news.
 
Can you give them to me?
 
11:45 AM
However, I can't transfer them over to next year, and 141 hours (which is 3 and a half weeks of 9-5 work) is a bit much to take up this year
 
That's your employers problem =p
 
Yeah, seriously.
Take all the vacation you are entitled to and don't waste any.
 
Or at least sell it back if that's a thing you can do
 
Right, when I left my last job they paid me for unused vacation.
Maybe you can also do that without leaving.
 
Go talk to your boss about how to handle it, if it's legally guaranteed PTO then you probably have the same thing as the dutchlands do where it's required to take them
 
11:48 AM
@KevinvanderVelden according to the articles I read on them, I'm not required to take them (facultatief)
 
Still just go talk to your boss about it and take as much of it as possible
Nom nom days off
 
@KevinvanderVelden Yeah, I know that I'm legally entitled to them. I'll discuss this on the trip home with my dad. he works for the union and he'll be able to give me more information on them
 
You tell your boss you're not going to be in for December, and then don't go to work in December.
 
They're obviously interesting, but another issue is that I also have another 6 or 7 days of PTO because company policy is to structurally work 2 hours more each week and get 1 extra day off per month
 
Carry over those to next year?
 
11:54 AM
so that's combined 25 days, and while I do have vacation already planned in December for those 6 or 7 days, I think it might come across as lazy or poor work ethics to take them all
 
Also that math does not work out
 
I can't, I think
 
1.25 days extra work per week for 1 extra day off per month?
Or wait, 2 hours per week total, not per day. Derp
 
@KevinvanderVelden Yeah, I did the same.
 
Yeah. 48 weeks, and another 20 days of vacation rights built up last year
so that's 52 in total
 
11:56 AM
@Nzall Negotiate. Presumably you can carry over some? Carry over one week, take a good 2 week break
 
@fredley I'm already taking 3 weeks between 15th of December and 5th of January with my days
 
I have 5.5 days PTO remaining this year, with the exceptional planning of this years christmas/newyears I have 2 weeks uninterrupted holiday at the end of the year \o/
 
@Nzall Well at the very least you should get paid back for unused holiday days
By law
 
As in, we are required to take 4 days between the 26th and the 29th because the company is closed then, and I'm taking those 6 days before through the extra hours I put in. the 5 days in January are from the vacation rights I built up this year for next year
Anyway, if I'm taking that "European Holiday", as it's known in Belgium, I'm probably taking 2 days next week (30th and 31st) for an extra long weekend
and the rest will depend on whether I can transfer them
I just wish I learned about this at the start of the year, instead of 9 weeks before the end
 
God why
 
12:03 PM
@Avery Is this politics? I think it's politics
Aside from that: I had no idea it was possible to make such a bad looking picture of Trump, but they managed it
 
Do we need to be that sensitive about topicness?
 
@Nzall oh no, it's the TIF police!
should rename it to TINF, because if it was TIF, it would be fine
 
@Chippies Hey, if you make a chat room aimed at storing the political discourse separately, don't be surprised that people are going to ask to keep it there
 
12:05 PM
Like, honestly, I don't really care if we put politics here or in TIF, as long as we're consistent about it
 
@Nzall considering Bridge is the general chat room for everything, IMHO TIF is for actual conversations about politics
@Nzall TIF was made to reduce the political conversations on Bridge, because it became overwhelming at one point
I don't think it was made to remove all political conversation from Bridge
although I guess if it becomes a conversation, it should probably go to TIF
 
Where do conversations about TIF go?
 
@DanmakuGrazer Meta.TIF
(someone should create it)
 
@Chippies (please don't)
 
@Nzall tbh I think it already exists in the form of Android Hell

Huh.

It lacks a left Z button which is potentially a problem but other than that

Q: How do you put PC skins in CONSOLE edition without hacking or editing the game files?

MCAydenBirdHow do you put PC skins in Console Edition without hacking or editing the game files? I am asking because I want to use my Superchu skin on my PS4 and Xbox One. I want to do broadcasts with that skin.

 
Youtube pretty much only does automated bans caused by their corporate overlords telling them that a video shows a bit of their music

@Lazers2.0 How do you do something that I am not allowed to do without modifying anything?

I can guarantee you that if Do5 used a dragonball Z sound effect in their video, they would have been banned years ago because Funimation is against fun

Q: Do you have to update Battlefield to play Revolution?

GinaMy apologies if this is a stupid question. I just bought the Battlefield 1 Revolution game and I have installed the add-ons on my PS4. Do I have to update the game for it to show up in the base game? Though it keeps telling me to update the game to play online. Also, is it possible to download ...

@Fluttershy Is destiny like borderlands but without the crude humor?
 
it's much more onliney
 
But it is kinda the same style of play, right?
Except with people
 
Well, it's a shooter, yeah
and a lootfest
 
Every game with a gun is basically the same game
 
@Unionhawk Superhot = Cs:go
 
1:57 PM
@Moacir Sort of. It's definitely a looter-shooter, as they're apparently called these days. But yeah, it takes itself way more seriously. And the focus is more on gearing up for the end-game raid(s), like most MMOs.
 
It's going to be great watching every game studio pivot to destiny for the next several years
