@badp By quite some range. Holy shit, that's bad. It would be improved if they added Bad Rats
 
but you could own PC MARK 8
 
ew
 
If you don't benchmark your rig twice a day YOU AREN'T EVEN TRYING
 
EW
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
 
8:02 PM
@badp uhhhhhh
I guess I'm not trying
 
Guys
 
because I've never benchmarked my pc
 
What a PEASANT
 
I just played a round as Genji and didn't die and got POTG. WHAT IS LIFE?
 
@Sterno terrible. Everything is terrible.
 
8:02 PM
@Sterno f-ing genji mains
 
It's only because it was Mystery Heroes and everyone sucked
 
CHEAT
 
because I'm sure you normally pick hanzo or widowmaker >.>
 
HAX
HOAX
FAKE
RONG
 
@KevinvanderVelden You are needed up north for rebooting purposes.
 
8:06 PM
Oh no, not again

Q: DScraft and Mac

Michael MontoMy 5 year old son recently got into Minecraft. I downloaded DScraft and installed it on his Nintendo DS3, but I am having trouble getting maps. Does anyone know of a program that will allow me to create textures and maps on Apple Mac for DScraft?

Q: Upload windows 10 Xbox DVR to Youtube

Artos van stelIs there a possible way to upload games recorded with the Xbox-one DVR on Windows 10 to Youtube? I have tried to upload the mp4-files that the Xbox-one DVR saves to a special folder, but this results in poor quality on Youtube. As I would like to upload the files without a drop in quality I wou...

 
@BlueBarren I pick Hanzo on occasion on a lark and I usually end up doing well. Like I'm 3/5 or something for PotG?
Long story short, I hate myself.

@badp the Daemon Tools Pro license could be worth it if it's something you need
 
@Chippies you can mount images natively in windows now
 
@Chippies Yeah, Daemon Tools isn't worth it anymore.
 
8:10 PM
@badp Pro version can bypass certain DRM's if you have a proper rip of the disk
 
uh... that didn't use to be a pro feature.
install an older version?
 
@badp long long ago they split DT into Pro and Lite
I doubt the older version has drivers for newer OS's
since it has to install a virtual drive
 
@Chippies if there is a Vista-compatible version it's probably going to be good enough...
I don't know I think that if you are paying to pirate you're doing it wrong
@Chippies though naturally this is being used for legitimate backup copies of your own media!
 
@badp you could be making your own rips
I mean, most don't, but you could
 
So I finally got the matrix Fibonacci working and wow it's fast.
 
8:14 PM
I recently had to use DT Pro (free 7 day trial), because I bought Skylanders starter pack for PS3, but I don't have a PS3, so I downloaded a PC version of only Skylanders game that was released on PC
and it didn't have a crack or anything, so DT Pro saved the day
 
It might be wrong though...
 
I was impressed that the portal worked on PC...
 
@Yuuki @twobugs got sniped across the map by a hanzo and his stream reaction was great
super upset until he saw the replay and was like oh, that actually took some skill
 
was totally worth paying the 2$ for the starter pack, the 3 figurines that I got with it look pretty cool and the portal lights up when plugged into USB
 
xd huntsman hitbox
 
8:19 PM
wat
 
ecks dee
 
Amazon just launched a, uh, Skype? competitor? >_>
WebEx? Something? >_>
 
@GodEmperorDune Sometimes Hanzo needs skill to pull things off, but having arrow hitboxes the size of 18-wheelers makes things a lot easier most of the time.
 
I mean, huntsman has an 18-wheeler hitbox
Hanzo is a little better
 
@TimStone like all amazon products the name is awful
i would expect chime to be a music or ringtone service
 
8:21 PM
@TimStone I love that they just have their own TLD now
 
Yeah, this Fibonacci is correct.
 
@Unionhawk Right? lol
 
@GodEmperorDune Or IOT doorbell
 
@Unionhawk right
 
(which already exists as Ring)
 
8:22 PM
@GodEmperorDune It reminds me of the Yahoo! renaming
Like they took chat and time and smashed them together or something
Though to be honest I thought the email was clipped at first and they were introducing Amazon Chimera, which would have been far more terrifying
 
@TimStone a hodgepodge of unrelated things thrown together? sounds like aws
 
Oh huh
 
@Yuuki I would play those heroes more if there wasn't already someone on my team playing them or we didn't need something else
 
Apparently the reason why there are so many korean hackers in OW is that you can get free accounts through internet cafes
 
@Unionhawk Internet cafes also have no incentive to prevent hacking.
 
8:27 PM
(this will change to "you must log in with your battle.net account which apparently requires your SSN in Korea")
 
ugh
 
So, running matrix Fibonacci against iterative Fibonacci with the test being getting all Fibonacci numbers from 1st to 3000th gets the following result:
Matrix: 0.146s
Iterative: 1.696s
 
What you never want to see from a website:
> Your password has been sent to the email that you originally registered with.
 
@JasonBerkan rekt
now everyone knows that your password is "@wipqoznistheworst"
 
@JasonBerkan I was recently dealing with a deactivated email and ESO for the last couple of days
that was fun
 
8:30 PM
And I checked my e-mail, and sure enough, there is my password. sigh
 
yaaaaaaaaaaay
 
@Yuuki nice, and your matrix implementation wasn't even the best one you could use
 
@Unionhawk woooooooooooooo
 
@JasonBerkan SECURITY
 
(this means that the password must have been stored as plaintext for those of you playing at home)
 
8:31 PM
or maybe a new password was sent
 
unless that yeah
true
 
to the email address that totally you can still access
and has definitely not been taken over
and the email was 100% end-to-end encrypted and not sniffed along the way by everyone and their dog.

Shopping

Proposed Q&A site for you as a customer. Discuss AliExpress, eBay or anything related to shopping.

Currently in definition.

 
I mean
 
8:32 PM
No, it was my password, and my Gmail account is two factored to prevent its loss for this very reason.
 
Email is the first thing you'd retake
 
@Unionhawk well effectively plaintext, it could have been some reversible cipher

Q: Glitch with Unidentified Legendaries

KaizerwolfA friend of mine that has rekindled his interest in Diablo 3 has also rekindled mine. He's begun telling me that there is a glitch present on the PS4 version of the game that if one has more than 4 unidentified legendary (orange or set items) items in their inventory, the chance of more legendari...

 
Even better, the password I entered was 18 characters and they've truncated it to 16.
And they have my credit card. Security FTW!
 
lol
 
8:35 PM
- Fixed Widowmaker not doing increased damage when the Sentry's target is a building, boss, or tank
 
@JasonBerkan lelele
16 chars should be more than enough for anyone
 
My new hobby: subtly rewriting TF2 changelogs so that they get OW players momentarily excited
 
I was just like "that doesn't even make sen-- oh"
 
It gets better. The purchase page showed my credit card as XXXXXXXXXXXX9999. It then rejected my purchase until I entered the actual numbers. double sigh
 
unfortunately I think "widowmaker" is the only word that is used on both things
 
8:37 PM
yeah probably
 
I CHERISHED IT WHILE IT LASTED
 
You got "sentry" "turret" and "teleporter" but other than that
 
@JasonBerkan wow
 
I guess that is better, as it means they don't really have my credit card.
 
8:40 PM
@Wipqozn meh
 
@GodEmperorDune yeah, just kind of funny
 
Fortunately all we need is "Trudeau" to know who he's talking about, yeah
 
Based on how he said Joe I feel like he realized halfway through he got the name wrong and just bailed out
 
Is that clip just "said the wrong name?" because if so, that's pretty weak sauce as far as Trump admin gaffes go
 
@Sterno Yes
 
8:41 PM
@badp What, did they change the Widowmaker's effect? I thought it was just "gain metal on damage dealt, no reload"?
 
I mean I can probably find something rage inducing if you want, I just thought it was funny
 
Canadians can just call our President Victor Von Trump to make it even
 
@Yuuki I think they've been doing class-by-class reworks or something
 
@Yuuki 10% increased damage to your sentry's target
 
increased damage to widowmaker or sentry?
 
8:43 PM
@Wipqozn i think he collapsed justin trudeau to just jeau
 
(I assume widowmaker but)
 
@badp I guess they want to solidify it as a "defend your fully upgraded nest with this" gun.
I always used it with mini-sentry tbh.
 
probably realized melissa mcCarthy is keeping notes, too
 
Battle Engie, go!

Q: Are there any jump scares/giant sea monsters that would affect someone with thalassophobia?

Mage XyI just bought Subnautica from the latest Humble Bundle and I've always wanted to try it out. It looks beautiful and I typically enjoy survival/exploration games. However, I've got a mild case of thalassophobia - the idea of swimming in a vast swath of open water terrifies me when I know that a gi...

 
8:46 PM
Are the Total War games any good?
 
So yeah, I decided to expand my test and, yes, recursion sucks.
 
@JasonBerkan I couldn't get into them. I found the combat slow and boring.
Maybe I needed to spend more time with it, but I just felt like it was smash enemy forces together. Sit back watching forever.
 
@JasonBerkan i like them but they are not for everyone
instead of a standard RTS where you should micro everything, you need to play them much more macro
 
@Yuuki I think that's the point really
 
That actually sounds good. I hated micro in StarCraft.
 
8:49 PM
@Yuuki if you have a level 3 your shotty won't be doing a lot of work on things a sentry is already targeting
 
@badp Oh, everyone I've seen that uses Widowmaker used it as a nest defender.
Frontline engies used Frontier Justice.
@badp Yeah, that makes sense.
 
@JasonBerkan the non-combat part of the game is more civ like, where you build up cities to produce armies and have to balance economic vs military vs special units type stuff
but the combat is much more about formations and using terrain to your advantage
 
Fibonacci(n) on the range of n = 1... 1500 returns:
 
like sending cavalry in to disrupt archers, but if they run into pikemen they're going to get rekt kind of stuff
 
Hmm...
 
8:52 PM
Matrix: 0.046s
Iterative: 0.264s
Recursive: still going
I feel like I may have implemented recursive incorrectly.
 
@GodEmperorDune Cool. I guess I shall let my Humble Monthly subscription run for another month and give Total War: Warhammer a try.
 
Nope, so far so good.
 
@JasonBerkan i haven't played warhammer so i'm not sure how much it differs from previous total war incarnations. It might be worth picking up an older total war on the cheap to make sure you'll like that style
 
n = 5, 10, 15 returns the correct answers for all three implementations although recursive is already starting to show slowness at n = 15 with t = 0.001s whereas the other two are fast enough that they still record t = 0.0s
 
@JasonBerkan Oh, thanks for reminding me to cancel
 
8:54 PM
@Yuuki check memory usage
 
This is on the cheap. $12. Plus, Warhammer.
 
@Unionhawk but maybe the other games are okay?
 
@badp I don't want to spend $12 a month on random games /shrug
 
I was really happy with January
 
@badp Well, I know that in order of speed, matrix > iterative > recursive, but recursive was taking a lot longer than I thought it would.
 
8:55 PM
@JasonBerkan cool
 
not so much with February
I know that at some point it'll stop being worth it altogether
I don't think we're there yet
 
I've enjoyed Steamworld: Heist more than XCOM 2.
 
I guess this is a pretty good demonstration of O(2^N) complexity can get pretty bad pretty quickly.
 
@JasonBerkan hmm I should give that a play
still playing through owlboy though
I'm missing so many coins it's driving me mad
I'm assuming I just can't pick up half of them
but still
there's the other half
 
8:59 PM
@GodEmperorDune 100
 
@badp 99.2
 
Harrison Ford incidentally Mr Magooed a landing
 
@TimStone again?
 
Yeah, this is worse though
Last time he was making an emergency landing, this time he thought a taxiway was the runway
 
@GodEmperorDune close enough
 
9:01 PM
wat
 
Yeah I don't know how that is a thing that you can mistake
 
@TimStone close enough
 
@TimStone he's 74
 
> was that airliner meant to be underneath me?
 
@GodEmperorDune He's Han Solo. He can fly anything.
 
9:05 PM
@JasonBerkan flying is not the problem, landing is the problem
 
@JasonBerkan i need to go back to that. It was fun.
 
@Wipqozn It is. I wish that it was easier to determine if your shot will hit or not (for non-sharpshooter weapons), but other than that, I don't have any complaints about it.
 
@JasonBerkan I'm not sure why I even stopped. Probably got sidetracked by something else.

Q: How did a rat flip my barrel in the Forsaken Fortress (first visit)

Chainconnection of UpcommandI was helping my little brother through the Forsaken Fortress in The Wind Waker. I was at the square room with the huge doors (right before the area with the moblin guard outside the tower) and was in a barrel, standing still while the moblin sniffed me (the way moblins do), when a rat came up an...

 
9:22 PM
@Lazers2.0 I remember when I struggled with Forsaken Fortress 1 back in the day
good times
 
@Unionhawk is it like the Water Temple?
 
You're disarmed, so if a Moblin guard or searchlight spots you, you are immediately sent to jail
You sneak around these things in barrels
solid snake style
 
@Unionhawk ahhhh, so kinda like the Gerudo and Gerudo Pirate Fortresses but without the bow
 
Yeah
 
Dear SquareEnix. Where's my FF6 remake, FF6-2, or cheap cash grab that isn't the mobile port?
 
9:27 PM
@MadMAxJr all resources are going into Remake: Final Fantasy VII so not to fuck it up
 
I keep feeling like that is going to end up being Telltale's FF7 when it's done.
 
@SaintWacko Roses are red / That elf is gliding... / Wait, an illusion? / WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?
RIP @twobugs
 
oh and then there's Final Fantasy XII: Zodiac Age but i don't think it'll be all that different from the PS2 game apart from 60fps, achievements and not having to rely on a PS3's emulation which fails at times
but if there's one new think i want in it it's that i get to see some cute Gria in the cities
 
I heard about FF12 Zodiac. Basically the job system overhauling gameplay?
 
@MadMAxJr yeh i've been getting that kind of feeling too. i hope it doesn't come true so i can see updated battle mechanics and a better Materia System
@MadMAxJr well it's just the Zodiac Job System that i think only the US got after the game was release. PAL only got the licenses board
So was looking though my cupboard looking for Golden Sun: The Lost Age since this time i'm going to 100% the previous game and have Mia horde everything to give to Felix's team and i found my Megaman Star Force games and reminded me that i have a working R4 Card and a USB SD Card Reader, i can finally get ROMsof my Megaman Star Force so i can start new games without loosing my Card Collection
there is no way in hell i'm going to get an SP Card from a Card Exchange Machine a second time
 
9:38 PM
I'm playing through Fire Emblem: Awakening because I forgot I own it, and want to finish it before picking up Conquest, because I reaaaaaly like some of the characters from it I've been seeing in Heroes.
 
@MadMAxJr i got Awakening just recently. both versions of Fates is out of stock though but i was looking to get Birthright
 
Birthright is more forgiving and lets you grind if you need to.
Conquest does not and has harder fights.
 
Grinding in Fates is weird.
On the one hand, yes you can retry levels with more experienced units. On the other hand, the next level will scale to whatever level your units are when you start that level.
At the very least, Deeprealms scale to whatever level you are when you start them.
So if you wait on recruiting child units, you better start packing Rescue staves because they'll get murderized.
 
I need the crazy spear chick in Conquest.
 
9:45 PM
@MadMAxJr ... Peri?
 
Yes! Her.
 
@badp what about the human fish hybrids?
 
@GodEmperorDune The next advancement in fish AI.
 
Deleting illnesses before birth sounds pretty brilliant
 
That's like paying for stat buffs at chargen.

captaincj2005So I might buy an external hardrive so I was wondering if I ever have to unplug and plug back in my external hardrive will my game downloads/save data be erased/formated from it?

 
@GodEmperorDune I know that the possibility to realise your dream of turning Umio into your husbando that exists may sound appealing to you, but I'm afraid not
That sentence changed at least thrice while I typed it out

at this point I'm not even joking
just tht
nothing more
ooooh
I found what's wrong
you can't click "open on new tab" or it breaks
 
9:57 PM
My avatar isn't showing up 100% for me :(
Although I guess it's just the image to the left of the text box.
And clearing my cache didn't help
Must be server side.
 
@MBraedley does it break when you type 3+ messages in a row, i.e when the avatar goes into large size?
 
No, but I've seen that before with others.
And that's only medium size.

Q: Overwatch lag on i7 GTX950

OzoneModsIve been playing overwatch in high definition a long time because i have a really good computer and then one day i turned in and it was with a horrible quality. I tried fixing it and if i turn up the graphics then lag comes on. Also when i change resolution the whole main screen bugs and every op...

 
@MBraedley it's known as the "@Chippies flu" on Bridge, apparently... Because I was the first one to get it/notice it
how is your avatar broken for you?
 
10:02 PM
@MBraedley it looks okay? What's the issue?
 
And it looks to be broken on the sites
@Chippies Bottom left-hand corner
 
the medium/large size kinda looks like it might be smaller resolution maybe
ooooh
 
yeah...
 
@MBraedley didn't notice that until you mentioned
I guess that's the @Chippies flu evolving...
 
I remember that there was a gravatar bug like that a while ago, where they would erroneously serve different images at different sizes
 
10:04 PM
@Chippies now it's the @Wipqozn sickness
 
@murgatroid99 it's been happening for a while in chat, but it only happens to some people
 
Weird
 
I just pretend you're an Asgardian trying to use human websites.
 
@MadMAxJr You think I need to pretend?
 
Oh hey it's @MBraedley. You lose power at all?
 
10:10 PM
@Wipqozn Nope
 
@MBraedley me neither. Lucky us. Is this your first storm in the new place?
 
@Wipqozn Well, Friday.
 
@MBraedley oh right
 
According to my parents, my/our dog is doing much better. Apparently, she was fed maybe too much beef on Sunday.
 
@Chippies I have names, I have the best names
They are — amazing. Brilliant. Terrific names.
 
10:25 PM
@badp your names are inadequate
 
When people need names they come to me
Inadequate—I created inadequate, it's true.
It's mine. Look it up. It's true.
 
@badp yes, that's why your names are inadequate
 
@GodEmperorDune AND SO ARE YOUR RATINGS
 
@MBraedley your avatar is on Gravatar. that's been buggy for months now where some people's Identicon Avatars change automatically based off the size

Q: Playing the World War 1 mod in Napoleon Total

TheShadow358Here's my problem: Everytime I open up the WW1 mod for Total War: Napoleon it says after a few seconds that some music files are missing. Does anyone have this problem as well? What am I doing wrong? It's like i'm using the demo of the game. Without the mod Total War works perfectly fine...

 
@Avery I did not want to know these things
 
@Unionhawk neither did I
 
user15026
This is probably not a line of conversation we should continue....
 
10:48 PM
agreed
sorry for contributing to it
 
SO I RAN SOME MORE/DIFFERENT TESTS AND NOW ITERATIVE IS OUTPERFORMING MATRIX. I ALSO ADDED SOME REDUNDANCY AVOIDANCE TO THE RECURSIVE FUNCTION AND NOW IT'S PERFORMING THE BEST.
 
@Yuuki O(nlogn) my
 
Matrix Fibonacci is supposed to be O(logn) though.
So I'm wondering it's doing poorly at calculating the 1,000,000th Fibonacci number compared to iterative.
Hold up, I think I may have solved it...
Yeeeep.
When I copied the line for my new test, I didn't change the implemented Fibonacci algorithm.
 
The expected complexity for iterative and recursive solutions is O(n), right?
 
So for all three, I was actually using the matrix implementation.
@murgatroid99 The memoized recursive solution, yes.
 
10:56 PM
Right
 
Okay, now that I fixed it, here are the actual results at getting the 1,000,000th Fibonacci number.
> Matrix: 2.056s
> Iterative: 143.193s
> Recursive: RUNTIMEERROR - MAXIMUM RECURSION DEPTH EXCEEDED
 
Yeah, it turns out several megabytes is a pretty large stack
 
All in all, fun times.
