@KevinvanderVelden Most people I've played that game with would vote for that. But I know weird people
Weird people are generally the best kind of people
I like to think so!
Alternatively: That's what my mum tells me
@KevinvanderVelden At the same time, weird people can also be the worst kind of people.
There's not really much room in-between as far as weird people go.
As the train I'm on stopped at Amsterdam Centraal, I was getting increasingly nervous about the couple of women sleeping next to me missing their stop
@Yuuki Don't worry, there were also puns in the answers
00:11
A group of Italians stood up to leave the train
then one asshole just leans down and kisses one of the two on the cheek, "cmon princess"
Like
I'm at least 80% sure they didn't know each other
I was too dumbfounded to do anything
Italians confirmed the worst
The duo just quickly and quietly left the train with everyone else
@badp jfc
This… I'm pretty sure this counts as sexual harassment?
it does.
00:15
And he likely has no clue
Which is the scary part
He probably thought he was like funny or charming or both?
the fact that it's a thing is a proof that we've failed as humans.
I don't know if I agree with the past tense there
well
we failed, we're failing, we'll continue to fail.
We've come a long way from legalized slavery and rape and whatnot
We have a few lengths to go but things will probably continue getting better at an agonizingly slow rate
Can we get there before we go extinct?
Who knows!
honestly.......
00:20
But the jury isn't out yet.
I'm so split rn.
going extinct or not... it makes no difference in the end.
I need to stop thinking before I get to the existential crisis stage.
Nihilistic hedonism is the only way to cope with the horrors of society
That's either really short sighted or really long sighted
It's both
Indeed, why limit yourself to only one sight
00:22
@KevinvanderVelden WATCH NETFLIX ON TWO SCREENS NOW
No, I am gonna head to bed
@badp I just finished Wonder Woman so I'm feeling a little better about our odds atm.
I can see why everyone called it the good new DC movie
It's ok
Just keep in mind there are people that care about you and your well-being, and to them you're more than a meaningless speck on the universe, and while we can't directly help you as much as you might hope we'll definitely cheer for you to get everything you deserve from life
@Unionhawk It's better than every other recent DC movie, which isn't a high bar.
00:25
@Ash I mean that the dwarf looks like th SE logo
@KevinvanderVelden FITE ME
and holy hell getting widevine running on firefox was much easier than chromium/vivaldi
just one click and it installed everything. I remember having to compile chromium just to get the widevine binary before google started to distribute binaries.
@badp right there is this aspect of nihilism in that the only thing that does matter is our own individual small regions of influence
And in that sense things are Really Important
ugh I wonder if I can get internet explorer whatever-some-new-version running on wine to get proper uhd streaming from netflix
I mean I don't have an UHD screen but I'd rather get a non-terrible bitrate

Q: Minecraft legacy edition demo mode

nubnub4455I just got Minecraft Legacy Edition (I'm using OSX 10.7.5 and I REFUSE to upgrade) and instead of the 'Play' button saying 'Play', it says 'Play Demo'. I thought "That's strange" and clicked on a link below it saying 'Why only demo mode' or something. It opened Firefox with a Mojang help page tha...

@RedRiderX that movie gives me so much hope
Reasons why Houston doesn't riot after a major sports championship: it's too f--kin' hot out.
Other reason: the county will just stop spraying for mosquitos and the police will pick up the dry husks of rioters in the evening.

02:23
@Avery 1080p netflix has terrible bitrate? what?
also, to get UHD, you need the more expensive subscription, which, if you don't have a 4k TV/monitor, you probably don't have?
03:06
@Chippies Can't control Netflix's quality, and it insists on using a terrible progressive loading algorithm that always starts loading videos at 240p before moving slowly up to full HD, so every show's first two to five minutes are just a pixelated mess
@PrivatePansy I'm not sure how 4k is supposed to fix that
it just adds an extra step at the end of buffering
@PrivatePansy I think you can actually force HD now by selecting "High" in Account -> Playback Settings. Pretty sure only the default "Auto" setting is adaptive
I noticed that the other day but haven't experimented. I'm also unclear why it's not just an option on the player

@Ash I didn't get it at first... I thought "what's so special about this broccoli?"... I think this is a sign I should be going to bed

Q: Is there an official timeline for the events in the Batman Arkham series games?

Q: Can i have multiple saves on borderlands 2 on the same character? (ps3)

LanceDarknight2I just comepleted borderlands 2, but I want to restart for True Vault Hunter mode Will I lose my first playthrough?, Or can I transfer it to another psn acc And do tvhm on my main acc without losing anything?.

 
1 hour later…
05:32
ok, maybe someone can help get my head around this. i thought the minimum hardware requirements was what you needed to play the game. Monster Monpiece, Factorio and Block'hood all requires 4GB RAM minimum according to Steam. looking at CPU-Z my PC has only 2GB and all these games play perfectly fine. is what Steam showing incorrect or can someone explain why they run so well despite not even meeting minimum RAM Requirement?

Q: Borderlands 2 gun level requirments. (PS3)

LanceDarknight2I was wondering...If Anyone Would Know The Pearscent Rarity Requirements In borderlands 2, I am level 35 And DON'T have DLC. If anyone Knows, Id love to know Because if I can get them earlier Then LVL 50 Id have fun Btw my gamer tag on PS3 Is LanceDarknight2 Friend me.

06:08
@Memor-X I would guess that it's something like "These are the minimum specs on which the game is known to run at acceptable performance"
Or in other words, "of all of the computers we tried running the game on, that is the one with the lowest specs on which we thought the game ran well enough"
@murgatroid99 hmmmm, then those specs don't really help. i've been using them to work out which games i can play now and which ones i can play when i build my new PC in about 3 or so months time
particularly i was looking at Pyre today but had this voice in my head telling me to question my assumption that i had 4GB RAM
@Memor-X Basically it means minimum specs needed to guarantee an acceptable play experience
Not sure what exactly people consider acceptable, I'd assuming it's largely based on framerate?
The thing is that most programs are runnable even on a really shitty system. They might just run at 10FPS, or skip lots of frames, or have periods of input lag
And I think that "guarantee" is the key word here. In theory, the devs know that the game will run well enough on a system with min specs, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they know that it won't run well on a specific system with specs that are worse in some way
@murgatroid99 or even worse they run at 10FPS. and physics calculations are frame-based not time-based.
And when I say that you can run any program on a shitty system, what I mean is that you can take a program that constantly uses 16 GB of memory, and run it on a system with 2GB of RAM. And it will "work", but the memory will thrash horribly and the program will be effectively unusable.
Well, many page files aren't actually set that far past the RAM size, and the program might actually crash, but it could work in theory with the right system setup
06:21
@murgatroid99 *most page files
Hmm I wonder how slow it would be if the hard drive was used directly as pseudo-RAM (if that is even possible)

Q: Borderlands Glitch (ps3)

LanceDarknight2soo... I had 10 legendarys from killing a few bosses without exiting the game, when I saved and quitted I came back after dinner.. I lost my legendarys (I completed true vault hunter and had 1 pearscent and lost them all) I lost my shield everything, Idk what to do..

@PrivatePansy So, the context is that this is a prosthetic leg, meant to be attached to a human?
That picture actually bothers me. There are so many levels at which that doesn't make sense
Yes. A dark comedy science fiction novel about an engineer who lost his leg, and realized he could make it better
Is it like some Dunning-Kreuger thing, where he thinks he's a genius but he's actually an idiot?
08:12
@Chippies 720p. That's what you can get without ie/edge/safari/apps. I do have UHD sub.

Q: Mining with a suitable pickaxe

Vishmita Suvarnamining on ores: wooden pickaxe** = coal; stone pickaxe = coal, iron and lapis; iron pickaxe = all ores - coal, diamond, emerald, redstone, gold and lapis; golden pickaxe = coal; diamond pickaxe = all ores - coal, diamond, emerald, redstone, gold and lapis. This is what you learn.

09:13
@ASCII-only about a factor of a million
@KevinvanderVelden even a NVMe SSD? seems like it would come pretty close to RAM speeds
You asked hard drive =p
An ssd would be about 100 thousand times slower
a SSD is a hard drive isn't it >_>
It is most definitely not
A hard drive is a storage device with hard spinning platters in it
oh oops
09:17
With platters also commonly called disks making it a Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
@KevinvanderVelden hmm does that mean there's a bottleneck between the ssd and processor?
@ASCII-only yes, the ssd
@KevinvanderVelden :/ but RAM doesn't have 500tb/s bandwidth does it
Seek times matter my friend
DRAM has a seek time of ~100 nanoseconds, an ssd is ~100000 nanoseconds
(damnit why do I keep getting different estimates for speeds >.>)
(well this is the a single source at least)
Also note: DRAM? Still really fricking slow. L1 cache is 0.5 nanoseconds, L2 cache is 7 nanoseconds
@KevinvanderVelden of course, only crazy people would be looking to substitute SSD for cache
but it's not like anyone really needs more cache
09:26
@ASCII-only That sentence was saying that DRAM, which is a thousand times faster than an SSD is stil considered slow
@KevinvanderVelden well of course it is >_>
@ASCII-only everyone needs more L1/L2/L3 cache, the only reason there isn't is because it's really expensive and takes up valuable die space
Note, this is the cache that is physically on the CPU
@KevinvanderVelden well true, i guess i should have said it's basically impossible to increase?
Just really expensive

@Chippies I dunno that it's dead so much as our schedules are all wildly different. :(
And yeah, I did my nightfall. But if you haven't done yours yet, I can give you a hand if we can find another!
@Fluttershy I left the clan and applied for some other ones with more members to get some of the bonuses
our clan only had 3 people and we never finished any of the weekly things for the free loot
@Chippies Yeah... I'm considering hopping back to my Xbox One clan.
I haven't done any of the nightfalls, because I'm afraid I'd join some randoms and let them all down because I don't know what to expect out of nightfall :/
so I've been just kinda leveling alts for now
idk if there was an xp bonus first week after launch, but I feel like leveling is much slower on my 2nd character than it was on my first
but it's probably because this time I know what I'm doing and I'm not exploring and messing around as much, which means less random xp
15:02
I leveled my second character completely through public events and I feel like it took me the same amount of time.
@Chippies Nightfalls are just strikes with different modifiers and tougher enemies. Shields are more resistant to unmatched elements, and the enemy types are mixed up a bit.
@Yuuki you still need to do the campaign though and while the public events give a ton of xp, it seems like there's not that many events available early on
I've had times where I finish an event and there's none on the map at all
@Chippies Yeah, but now campaign rewards are 260+.
I'm on Io and my Warlock's at 270 light already.
@Yuuki hm, fair enough, maybe I should do that too then...
@Chippies They're still there but you can't see them on your map.
The only events you can see are places that you've been in the campaign.
15:04
@Yuuki Have you done the Nightfall yet?
@Fluttershy Not yet.
@Yuuki If you and @Chippies want to run it, I can help after this Crucible match.
I'm up for it
do we need a talkything?
@Fluttershy How long would it take? I'm watching Thor in an hour.
well, there's a 10 minute limit on it
so, if we make it on first try, it shouldn't take much more than 10 minutes
15:07
@Fluttershy Are you expected to carry multiple Energy weapons to swap elements on the fly?
@Yuuki I would assume not, as the elements change every 30 seconds and that just sounds like a pain in the rear to swap every 30 seconds
but I could be wrong
@Chippies I think that's a specific modifier.
@Yuuki I guess, but it is what's active this week
I don't even have an arc weapon at all
actually I do have an arc rocket launcher, but it's 248 power
Well, I'm ready when you guys are.
I'll switch to my Hunter when everyone's ready.
we're waiting for @Fluttershy to finish his crucible
15:13
@Chippies All set!
@Yuuki It takes around 20 minutes.
Then time runs out.

@Chippies firefox
I would assume firefox can request a desktop version of the page, right?
see if that works
also, what's the resolution of your phone?
I doubt there's many pages that require width of over 1080 px, so it seems kinda stupid that your phone is not wide enough in portrait mode
although if it's a 720p screen, I think there's lots of pages that render properly at 800 px and above
I've never seen a page not render at all just because your screen isn't wide enough though...
I've seen annoying things like no horizontal scroll bar and missing (offscreen) buttons
@Chippies that works, but I can't seem to get a clear answer to my question (basically “can I fly alone domestically with no parental approval form")
Oh well, will give them a call later
@Chippies not sure, though I have some extreme dpi.
18:39
No not christmas ads no why
Please no
I don't need to buy festive pomegranates.
18:56
@Avery I think as long as you're under 18, you need a parent approval form. I don't think it differs per country, but maybe I'm wrong
@RedRiderX I used to be in the no Christmas before Thanksgiving camp, now I'm squarely in the annoying purists camp
Thanksgiving is overrated
@Unionhawk Wait what is the annoying purists camp?
Endorsing Christmas before Thanksgiving strictly because it annoys some people
@Unionhawk Well real thanksgiving was weeks ago so that's not a problem for me.
There are people in this country who are like "not until Black Friday" and it's like why

19:28
I know that i need papers for international
but I have no idea about domestic
I really don't fly domestic but this trip will be short so it makes no sense to deal with bus. I don't get asked for ID when I go with bus so idk.
