貴様の父親がオレにした事は忘れない……異国に来たばかりのオレに、家を買える程の借金を何度も無理矢理背負わせ、獣どもへの強制労働をさせたあの日々を。貴様に恨みはないが、その血で父親の罪を贖ってもらうからな……

Q: Query Regarding PS Plus and the Region issue

Getting straight to the point here. When I first got my PS4, I made an account, registered it in USA as usual and started playing. A few weeks later, I wanted to buy PS Plus. Now, I'm a little tight on cash and I noticed that UAE PS plus subscriptions are way cheaper to buy. Anyways, I made anoth...

ps4 psn region-lock playstation-plus

3:31 PM

@Unionhawk mayhaps?

Kevin van der Velden

@Avery archaic version of perhaps

With some slight differences in the meaning but perhaps mostly works

Well

@Lazers2.0 russia is probably cheaper than uae fwiw

Also turkey maybe

@KevinvanderVelden aaah, makes sense

Guessed that but didn't ever see it before so

Kevin van der Velden

It is rather archaic =p

Actually… Uae bans vidchat and voicechat so I suppose I'd want UAE psplus too tbh

Less vc = better gaming experience

Kevin van der Velden

UAE is united arab emirates right?

Or something like that

3:35 PM

Yes, united arab emirates

Nice country, meh govt.

Kevin van der Velden

"meh" govt my ass =p

A friend went there and apparently there were signs like "no hand holding"

Ah yes I found it

Kevin van der Velden

Not as bad as saudi arabia ofc

Mar 22 at 19:54, by Avery

So my ex is in UAE atm and he just sent this to me, and wtf

user image

Kevin van der Velden

And you know, they have stoning and flogging as punishments

As well as basically slavery and criminal law for dresscodes

3:38 PM

> No overt displays of affection

so lewd

handholding is evil

reddit.com/r/handholding agrees

(Occasional nsfw titles, sfw imagery)

I'm honestly more interested in the notice below it

It looks like a gun but it's not crossed out...

It's a camera

Kevin van der Velden

@quartata "Warning, we will use a giant hammer on you"

@quartata Looks like a mounted cannon to me

3:40 PM

I had the full image somewhere but I cut it before sending to bridge bc it has silhouette of said friend

@quartata it's a CCTV camera, it means "you can and will be monitored while on the premises"

@quartata it could be you break rules, and we shoot you with Nerf Guns till you die.

Arguably most fun way to die

Well

I can think of stuff more fun

But they're too good for bridge

I should send "how many times would I need to get hit by a nerf gun to die" to what-if

@Avery so we aren't worthy for your ideas?

kinda

3:46 PM

@Avery say "how many times would I need to get shot by a nerf gun to die", since pistol-whipping someone with a piece of plastic will kill faster than repeated shots of foam

I guess

okay

I'll share it

A nerf gun velocity is 35 mph.

or roughly 56 kmph

I'd rather die holding the hand of someone I care about dearly and then getting the punishment for that than get hit by nerf weapons

And a nerf dart weighs 1 gramme

Kevin van der Velden

@Nzall and it is made of foam that deforms a lot so the energy is delivered over a really long time

3:53 PM

also

I love how the discussion after that started the bridge dnd nights

It hits you with 0.03 newtons of force

assuming the impact lasts 1 second

Mythbusters: the bridge edition

Kevin van der Velden

Mar 22 at 20:28, by Wipqozn

I'm a person too

that's about 1/33rd of the force you feel when you have an apple resting on your hand

Kevin van der Velden

That happened

3:57 PM

hm

I should watch dark dungeons with sis next time I'm in istanbul

of course i should just get a room this time because fuuuuuuck staying at dad's place he lives like hella outside the city and all

Kevin van der Velden

I'm glade @Yuuki didn't name his character Spruce Bane

That would have been terrible

Sprucevator doesn't sound nearly as cool as Tarkunvator

I was going to say Steam and Chill, but considering the implications that has...

oh wait, dark dungeons. Not darkest dungeon

so that's not Steam, I think

I don't care about the chill bit

Q: How does dual-wielding affect accuracy?

Researching weapon accuracy is not as simple as one might expect, the bullets never hit exactly where the crosshair is pointed at (barring scoped weapons) and there appears to be some randomization. If there are no drawbacks to dual-wielding, the player should always carry two guns outside of sp...

max-payne max-payne-2

@KevinvanderVelden lies!

4:07 PM

user image

why

why did I do that

also gotta love how I can't change the username

@Nzall so basically it would take a few days of constant fire on a spot of skin to leave a bruise

support.gog.com/hc/en-us/articles/…

> If you want to change your username, you should contact our support team directly, who will change your username for you.

yesssssssssss

Kevin van der Velden

Assuming that the skin works that way and doesn't need a threshold of force
at one point before bruising

@KevinvanderVelden so it may be impossible to kill a person by shooting them with a nerf gun?

Matt E. Эллен

yeah, I would expect a callus rather than a bruise

Kevin van der Velden

4:12 PM

@TheMattbat999 I would expect that shooting the nerf gun at them via some bigger gun would be possible

Also accelerating anything to a percent of c is generally enough to kill anything nearby

And there's always the option of burying them under lots of nerf darts so they can't breath

@KevinvanderVelden well

Dart right into the windpipe, that's how you do it

depends where they shoot I suppose

Actually they should totally add that to HITMAN

shoot inside mouth and nose enough and they'll die in no time

oh the horrors

also can steam PLEASE allow changing usernames already

Kevin van der Velden

4:15 PM

You can't change login name but you can change everything else

And contacting steam support might work regardless

reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/wcl4j/…

> Steam to allow username changes in the future.

> Submitted 5 years ago

@Avery that makes sense

wow, valve time

Oh gosh, finally. Windows 10's wallpaper image compression has bothered me for so long

Turns out you have to mess around with the registry to fix it

@KevinvanderVelden yes but the username just stares at me on login screen and top right of client

I'll try support but I don't expect much

4:17 PM

@Avery Wow, using email as PK is a pretty terrible idea

howtogeek.com/277808/…

If anyone wants to fix it themselves

Basically, for some reason Windows 10 always recompress your wallpaper as JPEG @ 85 quality

Which introduces some seriously annoying artifacts

there's no way to contact support about this~

lovely

Kevin van der Velden

Isn't there an "Other"?

@Avery lol. Steam support took five weeks to get back to me on a simple question with a form letter response. When I told them no, they were mistaken, they took another three weeks to tell me they couldn't help.

@Avery I forget how the client normally looks but I think the Metro skin can help with that part, if that improves the experience for you any

@Nzall ah

4:20 PM

When I asked my bank the same question they took less than 24 hours

jeez I got a lot of pings about that

(I only see my community profile name in the client, except for the bits about login)

@TimStone metro skin is good

but it appears HUGE on linux client for some reason

Ahhh, that's weird & lame :(

maybe they fixed it, lemme try

4:27 PM

I should try out this "metro skin", since the linux client looks tiny for me

@GodEmperorDune Goddammit, I never got the Space Jellyfish IOTM.

Q: Does anybody have The Subcon Well savefile?

It's the second act in the 3rd chapter. Could anybody upload it ? The first chapter is garbage, i don't want to get through it. If anyone hesitate, the savefiles are located in HatinTimeGame\SaveData

5:07 PM

pro tip

don't try to restart your de without logging out

(restarting wm works well but de is hell)

restarts pc

(well I'm assuming that everyone is using kde, which is best and only DE*, *: not really use whatever you want)

also ugh why is everything a browser nowadays

my chat app #1 is a browser, #2 is a browser, my browser is a browser, my password manager is a browser, my code editor is a browser

stop

maybe I'm just getting old

Kevin van der Velden

My code editor runs in a console emulator

I have a hate/love relationship with atom

I'm this close to going back to ST though

5:24 PM

@Avery hook them all up to IRC

Except the password manager perhaps

@ToxicFrog well I could use some help with slack

@Avery if you're using weeslack I can probably help with that, if you're using the IRC gateway I haven't touched that in a while

I will try weeslack

Kevin van der Velden

@ToxicFrog just have a passwordmanager bot

now I just need to find a code editor in irc

(well I just went back to ST from atom)

@Lazers2.0 Wrong tag (unless it's been fixed already)

5:59 PM

I like VS Code.

@Yuuki I'm seeing so many people moving over to it

@Ronan I've been using it over the past year-ish and I've liked it so far.

Same

I used to use it

but well, eh

I might try it again

I used it for a long time and I'm not a huge fan of it

it's certainly simpler than ST though

which is not always a bad thing

also ugh I should buy a new drive to put windows in

but WINDOWS! IS! SO! MUCH! HELL!

Why can't I install it on an external drive again

or a partition on it through WTG

and why is it like 20gb after clean install ugh

MAXIMUM OVERDIY

Bedroom renovation while gf away for a few days

Completely renovating bedroom floor: gap filling, sanding, repainting

Repainting walls

Building new bed

Kevin van der Velden

6:12 PM

@fredley I thought that was for the bathroom and was like "... how does that even work"

@fredley Is it hardwood? If so, why are you painting instead of varnishing?

b nv bnbbvnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Kevin van der Velden

@MBraedley Cause he wants color and not wood? =p

@MBraedley ......no

I love it when I report an injustice and the reply I get is "I don't find it correct for you to send me these, I don't think that it suits you"

6:13 PM

It is shitty pine, and it's torn to shit, full of holes, cuts from previous plumbing shit

It's already painted

user15026

@fredley She's not going to know where to sleep by the time you're done, it's going to be a whole new room :P

And there's a wardrobe covering a good 20% of the room that's not moving

Kevin van der Velden

I suggest on the bed

5

So I'm painting around it.

@Ash Would like to finish with new curtains and lampshade, but those have been taken as Christmas presents by family, so they won't be there when she's back

*pictures @KevinvanderVelden 'suggesting', on a bed*

Kevin van der Velden

@KevinvanderVelden out of context stars best stars

6:15 PM

@fredley I'd be more apt to replace it then, but that's just me.

@MBraedley Nah, it's low quality housing, a nice floor would be weirdly out of place

Also, the wardrobe isn't moving, so...

You could just put down laminate. Looks good, but still not as nice as real hardwood.

But that too would require moving the wardrobe

@MBraedley I see you're getting the hang of this

@fredley oh dear

user15026

@fredley O.o

6:18 PM

I'm just gap filling, sanding and painting (white). It'll look nice, be cheap, and not involve wardrobe moving

user15026

@fredley That sounds like the best plan all things considered :)

Also the house is old and shabby, so shiny flooring would just be wrong.

ANYWAY

I guess my biggest hang-up is I've never been a fan of painted floors.

having gapfilled, I'm now going to do a wall coat

Kevin van der Velden

That's a good colour

@KevinvanderVelden how is gogs?

gitlab was hell in my experience, especially as it just forced itself at port 80

Kevin van der Velden

Pretty decent github clone, not quite as polished but it is free OSS

@Avery I have no problems with that, I'm running it via kubernetes so it's being proxied from a different path

Just configure the URL you're accessing it from in the initial setup page and it works out of the box

(you do need to set it so it has path prefix stripping)

10:23 PM

@fredley I wonder how much faster this kind of thing would be with Web Assembly.

I guess it wouldn't be JS anymore, but it would be in a browser

Not much. WASM is actually slow as shit.

@quartata Really?

You'd need something like Native Client to get it to perform better

Isn't the whole point to have a fast binary target to compile to?

No, the point was to make a more compact asm.js basically

now to be fair asm.js can be pretty fast already

10:25 PM

Yeah was gonna say

What is this doing that is faster then asm.js

but I'm personally rather disappointed that they basically threw away the half a decade of compiler research Google sunk into PNaCl

@RedRiderX Hm?

@quartata Sorry transitive property.

Native Client?

It's basically a sandbox for actual native code

You said a WASM linux emulator would be slower then the link, but you also said WASM is a more compact ASM.js, which is a very fast way to run js.

No I meant it wouldn't be much faster

I'm assuming that the linked VM isn't pure JS but rather was emscripten'd

10:27 PM

Ah ok

so that's asm.js

@quartata I don't think they're at the point yet where they actually optimized it for real

And plain js can actually be seriously fast if you don't confuse the JS engine

Q: How do I switch arrow types in Towerfall?

In Towerfall, whenever you pick up a new arrow type it is moved to the front of your arrow list. This means if I pick up 2 bomb arrows from a chest, I’ll need to use both bomb arrows before I can fire my normal arrows again. Is there any way to switch between arrow types?
