Anyone planning on trying the Destiny 2 trial? If so, let one of us playing know! If we play with you, we get an emblem. :3
 
I'm considering refunding my expansion pass.
 
"will you two stop barki - OH MY GOD" https://t.co/KfjyaY8ww8
 
@Yuuki Can you do that?
 
@DanmakuGrazer No idea?
 
@Unionhawk ohohohjoh
I know the sauce for that scene
MEOWTH ACCIDENTALLY SEES MIMIKYU'S TRUE FORM AGAIN AND ACTUALLY FUCKIN DIES FOR A MINUTE https://t.co/09Y232t97u
 
2:13 PM
Looking at the streams, the expansion just seems like more of the same game. Doing public events or strikes for very little reward.
Grind out twenty tokens for a chance at something that's maybe all right.
 
@DanmakuGrazer legally? Yes. Practically? I 'unno
 
I mean, I enjoy the second-to-second gameplay of Destiny 2 but the overarching structure just feels... lacking.
 
@Avery yes
MIMIKYU WILL STEAL YOUR SOUL
 
@Unionhawk That's Shedinja
 
I like playing Destiny 2 while I'm playing Destiny 2, but I just consistently wonder whether I should launch when I'm not playing.

Mimikyu is filled with hatred
 
@Yuuki I'm sticking with it, personally. Destiny 1 had significant improvements from its DLC. Not the first one, but some noticeably good things happened with the second, third, and fourth.
 
Mimikyu in the games vs the anime
to be fair though this is an inconsistency between the game and the anime
 
I guess @Unionhawk is just taking "games are off-topic" to its logical extent.
 
I PREFER THE ANIME'S READING BETTER BECAUSE IT'S WAY MORE METAL
 
2:21 PM
@Unionhawk Only if you assume the desire to be friends isn't just a malicious plot to murder Pikachu
 
@Fluttershy I would actually be concerned if they repeat this cycle because it's either showing that they didn't learn or chose to backtrack in some weird attempt to get people to buy xpacs.
 
@Yuuki The main issue is that the Destiny 2 team had very little communication with the Destiny 1 live team, so there was some backtracking, but not necessarily for malicious reasons.
 
@Fluttershy Hopefully they can course-correct in 1/2 xpacs rather than 3/4 then.
 
@TimStone I mean that screenshot does appear to be in a battle stage in the game
And I know, "that's just an easy way to make one arbitrary pokemon face another using in-game footage" but shh
 
AAAAAAAAAAAa
 
2:27 PM
hmm
 
@Yuuki That's what I'm hoping. Their live stream this week is going to be a make or break moment for them, I think.
 
dammit
 
16 HOURS UNTIL TURKISH SUPREME COURT finally DEALS WITH THE GENDER CHANGE LAW (it had been waiting since 2015)
 
There's a can release today at a brewery that I go to that I wasn't planning on going to
 
Don't do it @Unionhawk
 
2:28 PM
BUT THEY APPARENTLY HAVE A MINI PLANETARIUM SET UP IN THE BARREL WAREHOUSE?
 
@Avery Be prepared for a very shitty result for transgender people.
 
@Avery Deals with, or "deals with"?
 
We're live at @MadTreeBrewing today they're launching a new seasonal craft beer "Luna Lux." See how they are giving back! On @WLWT CHEERS! 🍻🌍🌙
 
@Nzall well we're expecting a good one
because they're forced to change some annoying parts due to european human rights court thing
@DanmakuGrazer hopefully deals with, as in improving
 
Heh
 
2:30 PM
honestly I'm hyped
 
Turkey with its "wants to join the EU" x "has a military coup every decade or so" is fun lol
 
I wrote a discord bot just for it haha
inb4 govt gets angry at me for hammering their servers with the bot
 
@Avery It's entirely possible that considering the current Turkey-EU relations and the rising anti-EU sentiment and islamic radicalization of the government, the result won't be what you want
 
@Nzall I think that due to the document signed between turkey and EU they have no chance but to remove the problematic parts (forced sterilization). They'll also see another person that day, who'll try to get srs requirement removed. Supreme court is relatively non-corrupt so fingers crossed.
 
@DanmakuGrazer ...be strong for mother
 
2:42 PM
Also ruined me: memes.
I am spinning up a 1k usd/mo server for memes.
 
@Avery At least you didn't say "hello awake and on the busty"?

Cats do savages the duck they wang
 
ugh
 
ugh
 
I for one will not subscribe to this negativity
 
2:52 PM
hug?
 
Accepted
 
dawww, I accidentally noticed that I have 8,000.-- precious internet reputation points on the stack overflows
 
@KevinvanderVelden can I also have one
 
@badp Hm, I'm 2.5k shy of 20. C'mooooon delete privs
 
I'm rather pleased by the roundness of the number
 
2:57 PM
It is rather nice
 
as it turns out there isn't a lot of use I can really make of Stack Overflow at work because ~half of the Perl community works here anyway
and they idle on jabber
 
@Avery hugs! \o/
 
\o/
 
heh the language I'm using has 1 question on SO... not too great :(
 
@badp I see the quarantine procedures are being taken seriously then
 
2:59 PM
@TimStone the network effect is stronk
 
@Jutschge which language are you using
 
@Avery Omnis classic (has no questions afaik) and Omnis Studio (has 1 question)
It's terrible btw
 
> The Omnis JavaScript Client allows developers to build all types of web applications and mobile applications by presenting a highly functional interface in the user's desktop web browser, or on tablet and mobile devices.
oh dear
 
(the language)
 
browser IDEs?
 
3:06 PM
It's a RAD tool nobody uses and if it's used, it's mostly used for web stuff. Well except our company uses the built-in omnis language to create logistics software. (there are probably less than 10 companies worldwide that still use the built in language)
 
oof.
 
lol
 
There really isn't a lot of stuff on the web. But at least I have my omnis-bible (about 3k pages). That book might be older than me lol
 
@Jutschge This is a really good opportunity to create self-answered questions
 
3:14 PM
@Nzall Yeah but I'm pretty shit at programming
 
Your daily dose of nightmare fuel:
 
Just lost about half an hour of play time in Kingdom Hearts on PS4 because the game crashed... What happened to consoles not having all the PC issues?
 
> I wish they never brought stardew valley to the switch. I'm starting to forget what other games i even own. It's getting out of control.
 
oof
I forgot that I bought stardew
download time~
 
3:28 PM
@Avery say goodbye to reallife
 
 
I own Stardew Valley, but I don't like games that don't hold my hand
 
so, I got a PS4 for my wife on friday and Kingdom Hearts remakes on saturday. She already has 26+ hours put into the first game... I think Nintendo is losing its grip on her soul
 
@Nzall Well, IIRC, the dev is a fan of Harvest Moon and this was his first game. So I imagine he went into it assuming most people playing would bring over knowledge from Harvest Moon.
Hence, very little in the way of tutorials.
 
I'm used to using game wikis tbh
 
3:38 PM
@Yuuki It's not just that. I literally need objectives that the game tells me to do, like "go to this town", "talk to this guy", "kill this animal", "have sex with this blue-skinned alien"
 
I found it thematically fitting
 
There are quests and the request board.
 
And is there a division between main quests and side quests?
 
And Grandpa's shrine, though the points categories are hidden from you.
 
And the community center
 
3:40 PM
Unless you're a monster and signed up with Joja.
 
But then there are Joja requests too
 
AND THE COMMUNITY CENTER
 
Though it's just money
 
In which case, your goal becomes "make a lot of money".
 
Did I show you my slimes?
 
3:41 PM
Joja Corp can die in a fire and it's actually 100% out of character for the player to sign up with them.
(you just fuckin left a Joja Corp job because it was soulless why the fuck)
 
Yeah, I get that, but is there a central questline that tells the story? Or is it just "you can do this, that or those, but you have free choice in what to do and where to go"?
Because I literally need something that tells me "go there and pick up all the quests", even if that something is just a marking on the world map
 
Probably the community center, but I wouldn't call that a questline or a story
 
@Nzall there is sort of a story, but it's not very in your face
really though, it's a farm game. If you don't like optimizing your farm, no story will save the game for you, imho
 
@TimStone we've just finished discussing the goatse operator
 
@Chippies Probably. I don't like games where I need to think about where I place stuff and where I can't move them later on. I prefer hardpoint-based optimization, not positioning-based
 
3:56 PM
Hmm... new Civ VI expansion incoming.
> The Civilization VI: Rise and Fall expansion brings new choices, strategies, and challenges for players as they guide a civilization through the ages. The expansion introduces new Great Ages, Loyalty, and Governors systems, expands existing Diplomacy and Government systems, and adds eight new civilizations, nine new leaders, a variety of new units, districts, wonders, buildings, and more.
> GREAT AGES: As your civilization ebbs and flows, and you reach milestone Historic Moments, you will experience Dark Ages or Golden Ages, each providing specific challenges or bonuses based on your actions in-game. Rise triumphantly from a Dark Age, and your next Golden Age will be even stronger – a Heroic Age.
LOYALTY: Cities now have individual Loyalty to your leadership – let it fall too low, and face the consequences of low yields, revolts, and the potential to lose your city to another civilization, or its own independence. But one civilization’s loss can be your gain as you inspire L

Q: How does Light Breath+ Refined work?

hammythepigWith the introduction of the Weapon Refinery you can now Refine a lot of weapons to make them better and give them new abilities. I have a Ninian level 40+1 who I love using, and noticed I can refine her Light Breath+. The new ability seems rather amazing, and the second part seems a little con...

Books

Proposed Q&A site for people and authors with an interest in books.

Closed before being launched.

 
@GodEmperorDune pls to fix
Looking at some interviews, seems like Riff wants to move away from turngen in spleen.
 
@Yuuki yeah :(
 
But rather powerful potion-like effects (full heal on medicinal herbs for example).
Ugh, is there a way to see what IotMs you have?
 
There is a mafia script for such things
 
@badp these operator names are amazing
 
5:01 PM
Just put your username after "u=".
 
@Yuuki Dark Ages sound interesting but I don't know how that will fit into Civ's concept of everyone having the longevity of China.
 
@Yuuki you need to run the mafia script from your account to generate that data
 
Do many civilizations make it out of their dark age?
 
@Yuuki wait what
@TimStone cc
 
5:03 PM
@Yuuki watching the trailer
 
Trailer's just fluff mostly.
@GodEmperorDune Yeah, I need to update mafia.
 
@Yuuki your face is just fluff, of your face
@Yuuki looks interesting. Should be nice.
Surprised it took so long to add a governor system. That's been commin in other 4X games for a while.
 
@Wipqozn To be fair, it seems to tie in a lot with the loyalty system.
And I might not play too many 4X games, but I definitely don't remember any other game with a "one of my cities can revolt and either gain independence or join my enemies" mechanic.
Or at least one that doesn't rely on active enemy engagement.
 
I shouldn't make fun of @Wipqozn's spelling/typo/whatever given that I don't have spell check on this browser, HOWEVER
 
@Yuuki Civ 4 had that, I believe
 
5:16 PM
consider yourself made fun of, turtle
 
@GodEmperorDune I wonder why they took out the Leprechaun hybrid parts of the familiar(s) of the year?
+Meat just isn't that interesting?
 
@Yuuki iirc people whined on the forums about it
+item and +stat are more speed ascending relevant
 
@GodEmperorDune Why? I mean, yeah, I think Fairyball is loads better than Fairy/Volley-chaun.
 
@Yuuki Culture flips were a thing in the past
I don't know if culture is 'active enemy engagement'
 
I am much more interested to see "city declares independence" though.
 
5:21 PM
@Yuuki my guess is it was that FOTY were too samey
 
@GodEmperorDune I do like that they decided to start releasing one a year rather than two.
 
And the devs said huge content IOTY were not selling as well compared to the amount of work required
 
@GodEmperorDune :(
 
Familiars are just easier
And sell better than things like the batfellow comic
And batfellow was huuuuuuge
In terms of content
 
I wonder what IotM will be next?
The last garden item was last year, right?
 
5:25 PM
Thanksgarden, yeah
 
I wish I could trade my URs for different URs.
 
@Yuuki I meant where cities have a governor that gives a bonus
 
Yeah I have a crappier UR
@Yuuki I know galciv did this if the area’s culture was more powerful than the planet’s
Well galciv 2 anyway
And it was a mostly passive mechanic
You could build improvements that raised culture, but part of the calculation was civ happiness and distance from other planets, so if another faction grabbed a planet in your sector of space, it would eventually join you
 
5:42 PM
@GodEmperorDune Which one? I have Bakula and CBS.
 
Man, Tooth and Tail is a dark little game.
 
@Yuuki I have baio
 
Eh, Baio isn't half bad.
It's really good in aftercore.
Both CBS and Bakula are really only useful very early in an ascension.
 
I just dislike the randomness
 
Yeah.
I'd totally be willing to trade Bakula and CBS for a Platinum Yendorian Card.

Yeah PYC is the best
 
@GodEmperorDune I dunno, PYC is definitely the most versatile because it does a lot of things, but hockey stick or spreadsheet are probably the actual best.
Depending on what you're doing, arguably the Dallas shield.

Q: Breaking the smithing cap?

Vin DarselSo, I’m level 46 with 100 smithing and enchanting. I want to make the best armor I possibly can, so I was wondering how to break the smithing cap with potions the best way that was intended. What I mean by this is I don’t want to exploit the system for smithing to be boosted to some ridiculous nu...

 
@Lazers2.0 Not just duplicate but also very subjective.
 
yeah, follow the steps in the duplicate and skip the "use fortify enchant potion to get higher fortify alchemy enchant and repeat" step
probably
 
6:09 PM
@Yuuki well yeah, most of those things are best in slot if you want what they have
 
@MBraedley They've only been available for a few months
They also sell the bluetooth cord separately, if you already have a pair of Shure earphones with detachable cord
 
@MBraedley what's special about them?
 
@SaintWacko Yeah but a regular pair is $120, the BT cord alone is $130, and these are $190. You do the math.
 
@GodEmperorDune Have they changed the enchantment on the incredibly dense meat gem?
 
6:19 PM
@cazc_941 I really like SE215s, and the fact they now come in bluetooth is awesome.
 
@MBraedley Right, which is why I said if you already have a pair :P
 
You can get a little adapter thing you plug your headphones into that makes it Bluetooth or a lot less than 130
 
Also, I thought the cord was just $100
 
For *
 
@SaintWacko $CAD
 
6:20 PM
@MBraedley Oh
 
It's also almost time to replace one of my 2 pairs of drivers anyways.
 
user15026
I like the idea of Bluetooth headphones as long as they have a cord, it makes me feel like I am less likely to lose them that way
 
@Ash Same
I don't need to keep track of two separate pieces
 
user15026
And they're so small
 
user15026
I know myself, that's loss waiting to happen.
 
6:29 PM
My budget is kinda blown at the moment though, what with the purchase of a new laptop and gaming headset, so I won't be getting these any time soon. Everything thing that I'd be using these with has a headphone jack anyway, so my existing pairs of SE215s are more than sufficient, at least until the connectors completely go.
 
6:42 PM
@Fluttershy @Chippies Aaaaaaand we're back to Momentum.
 
What's goin on my beautiful bridge people
 
@Yuuki Yeah, I'm pretty unhappy with how they're handling nightfall modifiers, tbh.
 
@Fluttershy Yep, looks like the Nightfall modifiers are fixed with each particular dungeon. With the exception of like one or two that have two sets of modifiers.
 
user15026
Bridge today I pushed 180 lbs on the sled thing at the gym, it was AMAZING
 
@Yuuki Yeah, that wasn't the case in Destiny 1.
 
6:48 PM
Nice! :D
 
@Ash That's a lot of lbs.
 
user15026
@MBraedley It is :D
 
@Fluttershy I just wish they had more interesting modifiers than "spam your ability" and "you have to wait a bit longer before you can pop off".
 
@Ash \o/

@Ash in reynolds pamphlet voice daaaaaaaaamn
also i have a wording question for yall
in documentation i'm writing, what does this sentence mean to you?
> These pools can be independently sized in the config file.
 
user15026
7:09 PM
@GodEmperorDune It means I can change the size of each pool separate from each other in the config file somehow
 
@Ash perfect, that's what i meant
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune oooh yes good, that's a good voice for that
 
@Ash the staging of that song is so goood
i never listened to it much in the soundtrack before seeing it
now i like it a lot
weird how that works
@Yuuki kolwiki says they upped it to 40% in december of 2010
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune It's one of the ones I really want to see what they do with it. That and Satisfied are like my top ones I am curious about the staging for
 
@Ash the room where it happens is also interesting
tbh i think i could watch it 10 times and still pick up new things
in most songs, so many things are happening at once
 
user15026
7:18 PM
I am so excited to see it and it won't even be here for years :P
 
user15026
(Although I might not be able to afford to subscribe, gym cuts into a lot of that. But that's okay, I will just be SUPER READY when tickets go on sale. Or who knows what my life will be like then. :P)
 
@Ash or perhaps they will need someone super strong for some reason and then you can show up and save the day
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune oh gosh I can't even imagine how strong I will be by then :P I will be like one of those circus strongpeople
 
yasssssssss
"hold up stage? da, isssst nothink"
 
@Fluttershy You'd think that with all the flak they're getting recently, Bungie would manually override this week's Nightfall modifiers.
But nope, "let's pour some gasoline on this fire".

@TimStone by worse you just mean MORE FUN
 
But that's more of a Christmas gift for the little one over here since he's super into Mario

I am having a bit of trouble playing above Emperor though, so I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong. The AI/barbarians just seem super, super moody early on |:
 
LOOK, CIVILIZATION. THINK I'LL DANCE A SCOUT AROUND IT AND RUIN IT.
 
@KevinvanderVelden hue
@TimStone clearly you need to buy more expensive electronics to play above emperor
 
NOTHING ELSE

but there's a chip in the motherboard that has hardcoded how expensive it is

Okay so I've never read the Redwall books before now, but I am reading the first one and there is a lot of death and injury holy cow
 
9:40 PM
Yessss Redwall
But also, yes
 
@Ash and strawberry cordial
 
@GodEmperorDune Unfortunately replacing my motherboard/CPU is probably not too far off since mine are six years old now. Luckily no issues so far, fingers crossed
 
user15026
@quartata Yeah, but so far we've had a lot more of the death and injury and a lot less cordial
 
don't worry you'll get there
 
user15026
Like I picked this as a break from the crazy murderfest that is the Romanovs and this is like....not much better :P
 
9:42 PM
oh yeah then you made a big mistake
 
Redwall gets a little grimdark here and there.
 
The Redwall series is... interesting.
 
It's not just cute fuzzy critter adventure.
 
I, for one, am not a fan of The Outcast of Redwall.
 
@Ash so are the walls red from all the blood?
 
user15026

@Maximillian See, that's what I thought it was
 
I bought Tooth and Tail over the weekend and did not expect the plot to be animals going to war over food resources and decide other factions are tasty. D:

but it is not
 
That entry might as well be titled Unfortunate Implications: The Fantasy Novel.

If you aren't okay with fantasy racism, then Redwall is definitely not the series for you.
 
user15026
@Yuuki It was one of those series I always felt I should try, but never did
 
Okay, just got around to reading about Rise and Fall
 
@Ash It's one of those series that you enjoy when you're young and then when you look back on it, you go "holy f--k".
 
Looks pretty great
