Good morning hat encrusted Bridge.
Joke's on you, I don't have a hat!
I am safe from hats! I dodged the hats! No hat craze for me.

I should poke the artist

sorry, small test. Will leave soon
Can we please not post hat-test related nonsense in here? use the sandbox for that or something.
room topic changed to The Bridge: General Arqade chat, which for some reason has become Unionhawk's stderr, and we have no idea how to change that, but it probably involves reattaching his file descriptors to /dev/rubberduck [+blind-carbon-copy] [+pedantry] [gaming] [-hats] [jin-fanclub] [lazers] [murder] [-politics]
How long has it been since @Unionhawk last rubberducked here?

Q: Captain in player career

dlyWhat are the chances and criteria of becoming team Captain in your player career? I've been researching this topic for quite a while now and found no decent answer. This looked promising at first, but the answer is not helpful and about a different game, so it's probably not applicable anyway. A...

WHY, Subversion, WHY? Why are you complaining about attempting to merge into mixed-revision working copy in a working copy that you admit yourself has no incoming or outgoing changes?
The Bridge: General Arqade chat, wherein blind carbon copy [+blind-carbon-copy] [+pedantry] [gaming] [-hats] [jin-fanclub] [lazers] [murder] [-politics]
15:38
please no
@Nzall because reasons
You'll just have to update it first
@KevinvanderVelden I'm currently downloading an entirely new HEAD_MERGE working copy from SVN to see if it helps any
Because updating said "already up to date"
I hope that fixes it, because I'm leaving on a 3 week vacation in about 15 minutes
@fredley Okay, seriously, what does that have to do with gaming?
I remember a time when I liked Subversion a lot
I still have tomorrow and next week to work :(
15:43
Okay, wait for the SVN cache to update
@cazc_941 nothing, but it has to do with the bridge
@cazc_941 are you implying we have an actual topic
@KevinvanderVelden Our company takes the week between Christmas and New Year's as a forced vacation, and I take the week before and after as well
@quartata Yes
15:45
Week before from saved "inhaalrust", week after from the vacation days from this year
@cazc_941 GAMING IS OFF TOPIC IN THIS CHAT ROOM
you should know better, you've been here for over half a decade
@fredley no it's not
There's only , no
All I did was add
Yeah the description in its current form is largely @badp's fault

Hands up who wants to write a new room topic
Hmm I need to change my chat bio first, I forgot that I even did that one
there, that's slightly better I guess
My bio was written by @jmac anyway
15:51
"General Arqade chat, wherein room topics are on topic, except for when it's not about the room topic, which is about room topics"
Do I even have a bio?
The Bridge: General Arcade chat, where the tags are made up and the topic doesn't matter
Ave
Ave
now you do
Hey, stop editing my bio >:(
@Ronan I don't know if this was intentional, but misspelling Arqade is a nice touch
Damn autocorrect
@Ronan this is your cue to edit the room topic btw
15:55
That sounds like work
You've volunteered to become a DM, clearly things sounding like work doesn't stop you from doing them =p
@KevinvanderVelden You assume I do any work for our game...
@Ronan wow the least you could have done was unRO Wipqozn
15:57
room topic changed to The Bridge: General Arqade chat, wherein none of us have any idea what is going on anymore but it's probably @Wipqozn's fault. [+blind-carbon-copy] [+pedantry] [gaming] [-hats] [jin-fanclub] [lazers] [murder] [-politics]
what an uneventful ROship
@fredley is going mad with power again!
@Feeds damnit, my next step was going to be deownering @Wipqozn (assuming he has owner)
This new Room owner is even more boring.

@Yuuki They are incredibly good at pop mashups
They're an amazing a cappella group

good luck with the last hour
hopefully everything stays okay
@Ave yeah I'm kind of hoping all the fires burned out last night
Next oncall gets to deal with everyone asking for exceptions to policy, I got to deal with everyone trying frantically to get their stuff in before the deadline.

Q: How do I get 100% on Wolfenstein: The New Order

nmit026I'm on 99%. Does collecting maps count towards 100%?

er
how is this unclear
ooh
wait
I mean
sure going by title it might not be a good question
but "Does collecting maps count towards 100%? " is not a bad or unclear question
@Ave Not knowing what, exactly, he has is unclear.
Ave
Ave
@Frank "Does collecting maps count towards 100%?"
that is not unclear
user knows that they're missing maps
so they ask, does this contribute to the completion percentage
The unclear thing is how people still use unclear instead of too broad
It might be helpful to reword it as "what all counts for completion percentage"
Having the exact list of what all this particular user has isn't important, I don't think, let them compare the complete vs what they have
@Frank It's pretty clear to me what he's actually asking is what counts towards 100%-ing the game, and specifically if collecting all maps is included in that.
It's still not a good question, and it needs to be expanded, but it's not unclear.
17:36
Adding "here's a list of everything I have" would make it a vastly worse question

@ToxicFrog She ended up coming over last night, too
To watch the election results
LadyWacko had had a bit to drink and very exuberantly kissed us both when Doug Jones won
She tried to apologize this morning, but friend didn't even realize what she was trying to apologize for, so clearly she wasn't too upset about being kissed
I should find a name to use for our friend
Otherwise pronouns get confusing

18:23
@StrixVaria that's amazing
@StrixVaria yay, capitalism worked
also dang, it was only a week ago that they announced the changes?
it feels like forever
the invisible hand of the market has spoken
and left creators with lower patron counts and hopefully that undoes itself
@GodEmperorDune I aged ten years just yestrday
@TimStone the patreon announcement was at least 12,000 news cycles ago
1.5 billion years ago
18:27
True friendship
It does kind of suck that part of the damage from this change is already done though, no guarantee that patrons who jumped ship will come back
@TimStone or they might wait for the new fee structure to be announced
The thing they wanted to accomplish was valid, the way they did it was dumb
charge full amount immediately->pro-rate the next month on the first->then it's normal could be a structure that might work
I still don't understand how they arrived at the "What if we charge you eight hundred different times in a month?"
@TimStone we had a long convo i think in TIF about the "i don't want my subscribers to access content until they've paid for it" vs "i don't care what my subscribers do with my content, i just want my check to clear every cycle" use cases
and how really it needs to be up to the creators to pick the model that works for them
18:33
That seems like it was partially addressed by the upfront payment thing, but I guess you could still game it if you really wanted to
I mean if you game patreon you're a bad person
charge a full month if you cancel before first payment
@TimStone the problem is that the solution was one size fits all and was benefiting the "protect my content" and harming the "i just want my 1000 $1 pledges to clear"
@Unionhawk I kinda like this approach, or something similar.
user15026
@ToxicFrog Yep, that sounds about right, reaction wise.
@StrixVaria \o/ I don't need to decide whether or not to cancel any of my pledges
18:36
@GodEmperorDune It's an optional setting though right? So I'm confused how, unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying
It wasn't an optional setting
Yeah if you have a tier that gives content access on a monthly pledge, then you get the full back-catalog, and theoretically I think under the current system you could end up pledging 1/2 and cancelling 1/31 or some nonsense like that
idk how per post pledges work
Monthly creators are basically get paid at the beginning of the month, while per-post creators basically get paid at the end of the month, and that needs fixing. My suggestion is to basically charge patrons up-front for the number of expected paid posts, hold that money in escrow, and pay the creator when they make their paid post. Extra posts get paid at the end of the month (as per now), and unused posts means the patron is charged for fewer posts the next month.
@Unionhawk Yeah, I guess.
18:42
@TimStone Oh, it's not clear that Upfront payments ever exited beta? wat. I'm so confused
I mean this suggestion doesn't fix everything that impacts per-post creators (and adds some extra accounting), and there's some weirdness when it comes to monthly limits (like I have on basically all my per-post pledges), but I think it solves most of the issues that they're trying to fix.

John HickoxI recently got a steam link (thanks Black Friday), and I was wondering if you could run it on different networks. I thought at first you could port forward the router, but all of my research shows using two computers and hamachi, or nothing to do with the steam link. Any ideas?

@SaintWacko Sounds like you need to ask the serious question: "are you okay with using the first-party controller instead of the Madcatz?"
If yes, then I'm pretty sure you're in a relationship.

Yes
But the settings app is not stock android
