8:00 PM
@Yuuki hue, I thought that was actually a different studio though
 
("Industries"? What are you manufacturing other than terrible Halo sequels?)
 
But yeah you're right I forgot about that lol
 
@cazc_941 Well, Bungie's not working on Halo. They don't even own the brand anymore.
 
Yeah I know
 
Plus they're just as well known for Destiny, I figure.
 
8:00 PM
Hm
Mario Corp
@Yuuki moreso today probably
 
EA should rename themselves to Microtransaction Scheme Corp.
 
@Yuuki To be fair, it was only the PUBG team that changed. So it's now PUBG Corp (A Bluehole Company).
 
My Kickstarter copy of Itchy Feet that I got for my girlfriend came just in time for Christmas
Even the shipping box it came in was super cute
 
Side note, the test server version actually doesn't look half-bad.
 
@Yuuki EA Games: Charge For Everything
 
8:02 PM
It might actually be a game I'd consider playing by myself now and then.
Although the new map is terrible.
 
What game
 
PUBG.
 
Oh
Eh. I had my fun with battle royale in The Culling
 
Ave
HAT ACQUIRED
 
I've heard that it requires different tactics
 
8:03 PM
Probably
 
Since you don't have bushes rocks trees or hills
 
Culling actually has pretty shit combat
 
so you just see people miles away
 
But yeah you can hide
 
(in the desert map)
 
8:04 PM
You actually use melee weapons in the Culling.
Nobody in their right mind uses the melee weapons in PUBG.
 
I mean the desert map requires a different mindset lol
 
Except for the pan and it's not for the damage or anything.
 
Todd Howard's Skyrim Corp.
3
 
Never found it helped much, I could go in with a fire axe (level 4) and lose to a guy with a crafted spear (level 1) constantly
 
Obviously The Culling is melee focused
 
8:04 PM
The melee is shitty
All the combat was really shitty and that killed it for me
 
@Unionhawk The desert map is just too big to keep the same circle of death speed.
 
Cause the sneaking around and in the moment tactics really felt great
 
It's way too risky to land at the edges of the map because you'll just keep chasing the circle of doom the entire game.
At least with the original map the gamble of landing at the edges made sense and/or was balanced.
 
I was under the impression it was the same size
 
If it is, it doesn't feel like it.
 
8:06 PM
Apparently the Battle Royale mode in ARK was actually pretty fun until the game died
 
I never got into playing battle royale games
They're fun to watch
 
@Unionhawk Eh....
 
Honestly that should become a standard game mode in modern shooters I think
 
@Yuuki Can be anyway
 
wallgarbl
 
8:07 PM
It can also just be How To Roof
 
it's probably fun to watch someone win
 
Like Titanfall 2 even could have it. Halo could easily have it
 
I think I only ever won in the culling three times
 
@Unionhawk Sure if you're watching Shroud or something. But the action is otherwise too spaced out for it to be any fun at tournament watching.
 
8:08 PM
@Yuuki Sure
Maps are too big matches are too big for anything to really happen quickly
PUBG RedZone does sound like a neat concept though
 
Right now, it's a fun "get the crew together" game, but I've only played solo once.
 
from a watching perspective
 
And that was because I was waiting for some friends to finish their round.
 
can't tell if serious
@Unionhawk what's that
 
@cazc_941 No mention of blockchain technology, it's not serious.
 
8:11 PM
@Yuuki hue
 
@Unionhawk I thought it was supposed to be smaller than the standard map. lol Conflicting information sources wooo!
 
@Fluttershy I don't know whether it's bigger or smaller, but it feels bigger.
 
You know what game would have been really cool with a bigger (and better) team behind it? Megatect
 
Every game I've played on the desert map has been spent chasing circles for longer than I do on the old map.
 
8:12 PM
And my friends like to land at the edges in the old map.

Q: How do I format my Internal xbox 360 HDD (4GB) or disable it?

Mark KWhen I format my internal HDD on my xbox360 it runs and shows everything deleted. After reboot all the files are back. What is going on? There are a bunch of corrupted files on the HDD. Is that the issue? If so, how can I get rid of them?

 
Ave
isn't that an oold game
 
@Unionhawk oh, yeah that does sound fun to watch
 
Ave
I remember seeing that name and those things
 
8:13 PM
@Fluttershy Which reminds me (your existence that is), there's another MH beta in few days. You should give it another go. We can team up for a bit as well.
 
@Ave yeah he's still'working on it'. Bit of a shame really cause it was a great idea
He's just not up to it
@Ave I sent you a copy
A while back
 
Ave
riight yeah
that's quite a while back
 
One of my most disappointing experiences
With a real shooter team that game could be amazing
But it's not even in the right engine
 
Ave
right, it's unity, iirc
 
@Wipqozn When is it?
 
8:18 PM
Yeah
Actually trying to play with another player and shoot each other is utterly pointless
 
@Fluttershy Friday until boxing day
 
@Wipqozn I'll see if I can make some time to try it out.
 
@Wipqozn Curse you, PS4!
 
@Fluttershy excellent.
 
> Hey everyone!
I've started work on a building game called Megatect. It's essentially going to be a level editor without a set game, where I'll put in a bunch of different tools and people can create their own game types
 
8:22 PM
@Yuuki you have a few days to buy one. PROBLEM SOLVED.
 
Fair enough but you do need actual gameplay too
 
@Wipqozn Problem not solved because I'd only have hotel wifi to connect to.
Does the PS4 have wifi capability?
The last non-Nintendo console I owned was the Xbox 360 and I remember having to buy an extra wireless adapter for that functionality.
 
This is why all games should be ported to switch
 
@Yuuki yes, it's all I use
 
@Yuuki It does!
 
8:26 PM
You should buy a PS4 @Yuuki, or you'll be unable to play with me next month
 
> 8/18
LIFTS
40/165
TRAILS
13%
OPEN TERRAIN
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
13% murder
 
There's no other game on the PS4 that interests me. Except maybe Persona 5.
And I'm getting my fill of JRPG with Xenoblade 2.
 
Horizon Zero Dawn perhaps
 
@Yuuki what about bloodborne?
Also, if you're measuring it in pure playtime then I'm sure you'll get 100+ hours from monster Hunter easy
 
@Wipqozn Good point...
 
8:32 PM
A console is only worth it if I can buy as many games as are in my steam library on it
 
@Unionhawk only 13% is covered in snow?
 
@KevinvanderVelden only 13% is open
It's... you know standard last few years winter so far
that is it's really garbage but hopefully the rest at least opens by late december
> 53 in
SEASON TOTAL
53 in of natural snow, but vast quantities of manmade
so it's not the worst
They've got snowmaking crews on 2 12 hour shifts iirc
Which is good, and at least temps are remaining below freezing
I am a little surprised they haven't prioritized getting beginner terrain open at midmountain though, but that doesn't matter to me personally
The gondola downloads anyway, so beginners who end up on it can ride down
Overall snow depth at mid is 15" which isn't great

Q: Destiny 2 Raid Lair with 4 Players

Troncoso3 of my mates and I (4 total) attempted the Raid Lair for the first time last night. From past Destiny experience and even looking online, just about all raids were possible with this count. Though, it seems like the raid lair is forcing 6 players in the "reactor" room. The one with the purple w...

 
8:50 PM
@Yuuki Plus it's actually cheaper to buy a console for just one game that you're going to play for 100+ hours then three games you'd play for $35 each! it's a real bargain.
 
The value per hour is way better, it's true
 
At the same time, I'd only be buying the PS4 for the Monster Hunter beta then.
A game that will (eventually) be released on PC.
Which is where I'll actually be playing it.
 
That's true, 12/22-12/26 is only 96 hours
ish depending on things
start and end time mostly
 
Mmmm. Monster Hunter on PC. I mean, one we're actually allowed on this time.
 
Why
 
I don't know
 
I'm sorry, hold on, Reddit,
Tjis is a redditors investment strategy. Imagine taking this to a retirement planner
Reddit
 
@Yuuki no idea when though. Sounds like they're not even working on the port yet
 
@Unionhawk hue
@KevinvanderVelden y tho
 
9:13 PM
@GodEmperorDune I DON'T KNOW
 
@KevinvanderVelden Do I need to start commissioning watercolor paintings for my project pages now?
 
y would you take something with such great tooling as go and throw it into the mess that is javascript
also why would this monstrosity be described as "delightful"
 
Javascript is good and does all things
 
@Unionhawk it's not jquery tho
 
Ave
> low risk
 
9:20 PM
It's not a bubble what are you talking about
 
Ave
IT MIGHT BE A BUBBLE BUT I'LL MAKE MONEY ANYWAYS
better off
 
@Ave you got this
 
Ave
IT CAN'T BE A BUBBLE IT'S MATHEMATICALLY PROVEN
 
be a well-adjusted and functioning adult
make money
 
Ave
Bitcoin now at $16,600.00. Those of you in the old school who believe this is a bubble simply have not understood the new mathematics of the Blockchain, or you did not cared enough to try. Bubbles are mathematically impossible in this new paradigm. So are corrections and all else
 
9:23 PM
@Riker she's not an adult yet!
 
@KevinvanderVelden then ave can be a reverse peter pan
 
@Ave bitcoin has intrinsic value therefore it can't be a bubble you fool
Only a true brain genious like me could see this
 
@Ave HUE
own the libs by popping dat bubble
 
@Ave HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
 
god
 
Ave
9:26 PM
@KevinvanderVelden I'm adult enough to not invest 40% of my portfolio to btc
 
good fucking luck cashing out your stop losses when shit hits the fan
 
bitcoin is either going to destroy the world by using up exponentially more and more electricity, or it's going to lose all of these idiots tons of money
like literal tons
 
"what do you mean bitcoin literally can't process all these transactions"
 
@badp i long for the day when people call for govts to make policies to prevent bitcoin from crashing
 
@GodEmperorDune oh fuck
 
9:26 PM
"what do you mean I can't sell more than a quarter bitcoin per day"
 
@Unionhawk sadly why no both
@Unionhawk FDIC should cover bitcoin
i mean if we're gonna repeat the 1930s, then repeat them
 
(mind goes back to the greek people who couldn't withdraw more than 20€/day during peak crisis)
 
Well the advantage of it being decentralized is uhh
 
you know,
 
besides bitcoin is a pyramid scheme
eventually you run out of people who have money to add to the scheme
and kaboom
there goes your returns
 
Ave
9:28 PM
@GodEmperorDune YOU'RE IN OLD SCHOOL FAM
I'LL SNORT SOME COKE AND SPEND MY ANTIVIRUS MONEY ON A NON-BUBBLE
 
oh god that is mccafe
 
Ave
yes it is
 
@Unionhawk would you like fries with that
 
@Unionhawk who ran for freaking president
 
@Ave the only thing that might be good out of this is that because of the transaction backlog, wall street types getting into bitcoin will not be able to get their money out in time and will lose just like the regular people
 
9:29 PM
possible jungle murderer and crazed millionare
 
@GodEmperorDune In what sense is bitcoin a pyramid scheme?
 
Ave
@murgatroid99 it's a bubble
 
did you mean... mcafee
 
Ave
it relies on people drawing in others
at least at the current form
 
@murgatroid99 that the value of it is dependent on new people buying up bitcoins
 
Ave
9:30 PM
that reminds me
 
@badp I was doing a thing where I make fun of someone by spelling their name wrong on purpose
 
@Unionhawk I CAN'T LET YOU JUST ENJOY THINGS OKAY
 
I WILL ENJOY THEM ANYWAY
 
YOUR ENJOYMENT SHALL BE LIMITED
 
@GodEmperorDune What? I thought that like most currencies it had value by being able to exchange it for stuff
 
9:31 PM
PLEASE ENJOY RESPONSIBLY
 
NO
 
YOUR ENJOYMENT IS NOT RESPONSIBLY BEING CONVERTED INTO THE DIGITAL SUPERHIGHWAY
 
Ave
> exchange
except you have like, 20$ fees per transaction
 
@murgatroid99 it is being framed as an investment vehicle now because of dramatic increases in value
 
@murgatroid99 when a thousand people want to cash out who takes precedence?
 
9:32 PM
@GodEmperorDune People invest in currencies all the time
 
Ave
@murgatroid99 but it's easier to get out of whatever real world currency
and it's much less legally sketchy
 
@murgatroid99 sure, with the implicit understanding that most currencies won't collapse because there is a govt backing them and the majority of the currency usage is in exchanging the currency for goods and services
 
Ave
in other news, oh dear god
(I reminded a friend to sell the 0.1btc she had)
 
bitcoin seems to be much more dominated by investors or people paying ransomware/buying illicit things
 
Ave
@GodEmperorDune yeah, apparently it's really popular with illicit things.
 
9:35 PM
and it has no govt backing it, nor any real assets backing it
 
@GodEmperorDune do you have data for that?
 
if the US govt were to make it illegal to traffic in bitcoin (because of the illicit things) or because it is being used for money laundering, that stuff is worthless
 
when a thousand people want to cash out who takes precedence? from what I understand, this is where the pyramid hides
in order to actually cash out you need to pay top fees with your sale transaction
 
@GodEmperorDune Well, yes, everything becomes entirely worthless when it becomes illegal, right?
 
which means that if you aren't in like the top 0.1%...
(or 0.01% or whatever that is)
you're not going to be able to trade your coins fast enough while the value collapses
 
9:38 PM
In either case, investing 100% in crypto is dumb and bad plan
 
@murgatroid99 bitcoin has no value if you can't exchange it legally
and the money always comes back to banks
i don't know of any exchanges that let you do cash to/from bitcoin, it needs to go to a bank account
(in the US anyway)
 
You can meet your local dealer to do it analogue
Though it'll be easier to give them the private key to your wallet
and then how do they know you don't have a copy?
 
Ave
@Nzall so, ooold message, but someone just linked a gachi and I watched around a minute of it without realizing.
It's definitely a thing.
A good thing or a bad thing? IDK.
 
@murgatroid99 looking at businessinsider.com/… the main payment vendors mentioned are coinbase and bitpay
both of these are US companies, and if the US bans it, they wouldn't be able to support it anymore, pulling it from the retailers
 
Ave
> You can even pay for space travel with Bitcoin.
 
9:45 PM
now perhaps a more accurate statement is that bitcoin's value is an extremely precarious thing
but anything that goes through a bank will have to comply with banking regulations at some point in the chain

Q: How do I Livestream in Vlogger go Viral?

EmanGamingSo, I downloaded Vlogger go Viral a while back, and I was wondering how do I livestream in it?

 
Ave
bridge I'm dealing with mediawiki api and this is so painful
 
@Ave its mediawiki, lol
did you get to their proprietary text format yet?
 
Ave
how the hell do they even like
how do they use php on such a large scale (wikipedia)
and not, like, have the server die instantly.
 
So my dogecoin has to turn into litecoin. Then my litecoin can be cashed out. Ooof. Work.
 
9:56 PM
@Maximillian much value. wow
 
Ave
Also to make matters worse, it's wikihow, not base wikimedia
 
@Ave are you harvesting wikihow for the images to turn into memes?
 
Ave
I'm writing a wikihow command for a bot
might eventually add it to avebot too
but it'll go to jose first.
Search data doesn't match the search on site and unlisted articles show in search too aaaaaa
OH
I SEE
so if I query categories and check if it's unlisted by checking for "stub" category
 
10:11 PM
Man, Nioh is pretty much the Dark Souls experience again.
Still stuck on the first boss.
 
@Maximillian BREAKING NEWS: NIOH IS THE DARK SOULS OF WHATEVER KIND OF GAME IT IS
 
Big Oni demon guy with dual ball and chain. I can get him to where the chains break but then oh god he's mad and then I die

Q: Enough data to showcase your skills

msm.oliveiraI just login in my lol account and I got this message: This was my previous nickname but I change it in 14/11. Is there another way to show my review?? I have already pressed the "Retry" button several times

 
10:23 PM
@Ave but do they run linux?
 
Ave
@GodEmperorDune yup
> All our servers run either Debian or Ubuntu Server.
dunno how good a combo php, mariadb, apache, ubuntu server and millions of users per month is, tbh
 
@Maximillian Just wait. It gets better!

@Fluttershy Oh boy
 
11:07 PM
You can now no longer WR without a manual superswim because it saves like 10 minutes
 
@Unionhawk dafuq
 
Link's backwards swim speed is unbounded
So if you change direction every frame
You can build up oceancrossing speed
This is a strat that's been used by the TAS, but was really made more RTA viable in WWHD with the gamepad
Since you can pause buffer much more quickly
The current any% route does some serious sequence break shenanigans and things get weird
Like, it gets bombs by boarding the pirate ship in forsaken 1
It warps to forsaken by getting caught without a sword by Bokoblins in a different sector
 
Ave
11:23 PM
"lol let's get top 3 results from mediawiki api and also get an image"
50 lines and counting

Q: Help find a Game with certain catergories

user201950If you can answer my question it'll be well appreciated, but i doubt it. sorry for being too picky. I'm trying to Find a game for a friend. if you know of any game that fits into any of the ... COUGH exquisite categories THANKS A MILLION Dungeon Crawler Single-Player NON turn-based cartoony lo...

 
@Ave I know a bit about Mediawiki (wrote a Wikipedia bot a longggg time ago). Whats the trouble?
 
Ave
@quartata everything
mediawiki's current api is not the worst
the ANCIENT mediawiki wikihow is based on is, however, the worst
 
11:50 PM
fun
 
Ave
There's so much stuff I need to account for
and data is so scattered
And wikihow's fork is not well documented at all
 
there should be a route for getting all the linked files on an article if that's the trouble
failing that though you can probbly just scan for File: unless its in a template expansion
 
Ave
I think that I've got everything now
I just need to account for edge cases
turn this into a cog
 
why wikihow anyways
 
@GodEmperorDune TIL Robert Siegel is retiring.
 
Ave
11:53 PM
change config sample, send a PR
@quartata Memes™
 
@Yuuki from NPR?
 
stock photo memes?
 
@GodEmperorDune Yes.
 
holy shit
 
He's leaving in January.
@GodEmperorDune The good news is that it doesn't seem to be for anything untoward.
 
11:55 PM
@Yuuki yeah, NPR has had its share of predators lately
 
Mary Louise Kelly will be taking his host spot on All Things Considered.
 
@Yuuki for a sec i thought that was the Weeds lady
 
Ave
@quartata more like "lmao people are asking for it and maintainer isn't interested let me write that and PR that lol"
 
@quartata nah, mediocrely drawn art memes
 
@GodEmperorDune I don't know, man, OC is a volatile market.
