I just realized that the library I work on (a Node.js module) gets over 200k downloads per month on npm
 
@MadScientist sounds like the Banshee Reapers. assuming similar logic from the previous games a strategy would be to pepper rounds to prevent the shield activating the auto-regen while falling back to avoid close range kill shot

Q: Is there a way to test for the number of players on a team in Minecraft?

Steffen BrownI want to make command block code that will testfor when there is only one player left on a score board team.

Q: Minecraft--Drops of carrots

Moltriz_PapyrusCan you still obtain carrots from zombies in Minecraft 1.11.2? I have a world where I need carrots for potions. I have LITERALLY everything else. I can't find any villages, though. Know any good ways to get carrots? -- Besides using a hoe. -- Thanks! :)

@Unionhawk does it have ai players? up to what series does it include cards from?
 
@Memor-X yes and no clue
The ai is pretty bad though but it's been getting better as I level
Like, serious deck composition issues
And then they'll place a scrub tier 800 attack idiot in attack position with no plans to remove your monsters
But it's been getting a little better, and there are challenges and such as well as pvp duels
I have yet to win a challenge duel because that guy is actually good on top of you getting conditions like "1 card opening hand"
Or "start with 1000 LP"

@Ash Fuck you!! I am leaving this website!' — haykam 6 mins ago
Welp. That's another satisfied customer, I guess.
 
lol gg
 
@Unionhawk well i suppose it shakes up the battles a bit
@Frank dam it was deleted so i can see the entire thing
 
@Memor-X Meh. User has been throwing a hissy fit about the other answer on that question.
Doesn't like how Arqade works.
 
still i think it's bark since there is no signs of the usual self-destruct. no un-accepting answers, no editing question which can't be deleted, no alterations to the about me saying how they are leaving
 
@Memor-X If he doesn't delete, that's fine.

@Yuuki MAIN STORY: COMPLETE.
 
Nice.
How'd you like the final boss fight?
 
@Yuuki The second phase was really stupid. The third phase was great.
HAving played through it now, though, I can say the story is indeed a let down.
There's a few parts which drew me in, but for the most part I'm just like "meh"
 
What's your desire to continue doing side quests and stuff now that you've done the main thing?
(or did you pretty much do them all first?)
@Frank I hate when people say stuff like "You should let other people have a chance to answer the question" though
 
@Sterno Yeah, it's stupid.
The way it started was no better.
I actually had a comment on there defending the other answer as better, if it would only answer the question.
It was edited to add more info, so I deleted it.
Either way, there's enough whining to go around.
 
@Sterno I'd still like to go back and collect more. I';ve only explored 25% of the map apparently. I've found 70+/120 shrines (not sure on exact number), and I have one fairy fountain left to find. Also a fuckton of those plant people.
I know @Yuuki went back and visited all the shrines once he beat ganon, and he had around the same shrine count I do

Q: Skull of corruption and the priest?

DraugrIs it possible to have the skull of corruption and the priest as a follower at the same time?

 
@Sterno Also I ordered Nier Automata. Should have it wednesday. I originally wasn't planning to play for a while (just ordered for the prime 20% off), but who knows. Maybe Ill play Wed. since I finished main story zelda. I would like to play more Zelda though.
That's the review that made me buy it
Won't even lie, music was the main reason
cc @GnomeSlice, since I'm sure he'll approve of buying a game due to music
 
I wanna play that it looks kickass
@Wipqozn I mean if I like the music I'll just buy the music
 
@Wipqozn I'm hyped for Nier but I'm worried the pc port might have some weirdness.

Samsung Mobile division pls to die
Bixby is Samsung’s version of Siri http://tcrn.ch/2ne9lrj
FUCKING, ANDROID PHONES ALREADY HAVE THAT IT'S CA LED GOOGLE ASSISTANT AND GOOGLE NOW
 
@Unionhawk yeh but Samsung wants your vocal data themselves
 
Samsung wants to create their own operating system with blackjack and hookers except also they want the Android ecosystem
Except Samsung Android is garbage and the only good android phones are Nexus Pixel and maybe Moto
That's a true fact
The quality of an Android phone is directly proportional to its closeness to stock Android
 
@Unionhawk but they do it wrong and forget the hookers
 
@Unionhawk My old huge ass-Sony phone had some pretty useful vendor additions
The same features appeared in stock Android in 6.0 and 7.0
 
This is true in some cases
Heck 7 implemented Samsung's settings thingy except it looks better
You know, the thing in the top bar of the notification pulldown

though there's apparently "cydia impactor" which allows sideloading of ipas without jailbreak which is cool.
I just sideloaded ifile and will sideload tons of emulators in a bit
@GodEmperorDune nope! yalujailbreak.com
 
@Avery wait, how can you get cydia impactor onto a non jailbroken phone?
oh, it uses the same exploit
 
it runs on a pc and well, signs the app with your developer thingies even if you don't have subscription which is cool
I'm having an inexplicable level of nerdy fun sideloading tons of emulators right now tbh.

Q: Picking the right future proof graphics card

HymnZI have been researching on entry-level graphics cards for about a month and I have come down to four options, which I'm not sure how to finalize. The following are the cards. Sapphire Nitro Radeon Rx 460 4GB OC [ $199 ] Gigabyte Radeon Rx 460 Windforce OC [ $126 ] ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1050 Ti mini...

 
@Lazers2.0 is that even possible? able to future proof a graphics card?
 
@Memor-X Only to a very limited degree. The amount of VRAM is one option that you can argue to be about future-proofing. GPUs get out of date quickly, but not having enough VRAM for newer games can make performance unnacceptable even quicker
 
12:00 PM
@MadScientist RIP my 3.5 GB
 
I have a 970 as well ;-)
 
I knew you'd get that ;D
I mean I was kinda stuck with it at the time
 
@Memor-X AMD cards are generally slightly more future proof than Nvidia, due to Nvidia having drivers optimized as best as they can be at launch, whereas AMD drivers get optimized over time and get performance boosts
 
the 960 wasn't out yet and the 980 and higher was too expensive
So where does that leave you? The 970
 
I had no real choice because I didn't want to risk the high power draw of the competing AMD cards at the time. That would have put me on the limit of my old PSU
 
12:02 PM
@BlueBarren R9 390 was a good alternative to the 970... Unless you're really into Nvidia
it does draw a bit more power, so if that's a concern then eh
 
I mean I could've gone with AMD, my previous build was AMD but I wanted to try out NVIDIA since I had never used it before
so it was more or less a "I really wanted to go with NVIDIA"
 
I got the r9 390, because the 970 just didn't seem like good value at all. Performance was very similar and one had 3.5gb vram and the other had 8gb vram. Both priced the same
and the r9 390 has gotten faster in most games than the 970 with driver updates
 
GPUs are never really future-proof. I update them at least twice as often as the CPU and everything else
 
that's for sure
 
12:04 PM
I think the most future proof part of a PC is an SSD
and that's most not is
actually no
 
@BlueBarren speed-wise? There's already pci-e SSD's that double and triple in speed over the sata ssd's
 
I take that back
 
@BlueBarren I always discover that I could use an even larger SSD, 256GB feels cramped now (my current SSD)
 
space wise? price per gb has dropped a lot in the last year or so
 
I'll go with a disk drive because are we really improving disk drive tech anymore since no one's really using them?
 
12:06 PM
not having at least one SSD in your system is gonna bottleneck your whole system
before SSD's, the storage speed (HDD) was the bottleneck for almost everything
now at least with SSD's it manages to keep up somewhat
 
there's no reason at all to buy a new computer without an SSD, except for extreme budget limitations
 
@Chippies @MadScientist yeah but I if you're going to have multiple builds I feel like an SSD would be the thing you could get away with not upgrading. Not saying you shouldn't but it doesn't seem as important as a GPU or CPU or RAM
 
@MadScientist when I built my PC, I actually went with SSD only and didn't get an HDD
 
@Chippies did you get a big SSD then?
 
@BlueBarren upgrading? sure, as long as you have at least one SSD, even if it's the slowest one
@BlueBarren I got 480gb as opposed to 250gb + HDD
I have 4TB external HDD, so I'm fine
 
12:07 PM
@Chippies see I'm using more than the space on my 2TB HDD
so I wouldn't be able to do that
 
@BlueBarren you could always just add the HDD later, whereas if you compromised and got a low space SSD and medium size HDD, you kinda have to upgrade both or you're stuck with sub-par storage
 
@Chippies well that depends on how much space you have for drives
 
my plan was to add an HDD eventually, but with the external HDD holding all my non-installed stuff, I have no need for it
 
I think I have an additional 2
so I don't have to replace any drive I could just get more
 
@BlueBarren SSD's usually don't take the same space as HDD's
unless your case is ancient
 
12:09 PM
Because I'm rocking that 250GB SSD and a 2TB HDD
@Chippies well I'm thinking sata ports
 
I recently took a 380gb 2.5" HDD from my old not-working laptop and put it into my PC
 
I think my mobo has 4?
 
@BlueBarren ah, true enough, forgot about that
I think mine has 6, but I could be wrong. I've never had more than 2 drives in a PC anyway
 
@Chippies I mean really case space doesn't matter, you don't need fancy shelf space or anything
yeah I've only had two drives ever as well
but I've only had 2 builds
 
12:10 PM
my GTX 970 and my Raedeon 7770
 
I took out all my HDD bays, since I didn't use them
my case looks so empty now, it's awesome
 
so do you let your drives free float in there or what?
 
@BlueBarren I have a 2.5" SSD and a 2.5" laptop HDD mounted on the back of the motherboard
most modern cases have mounting brackets for 2.5" drives on the back
 
I kinda hate my case
I liked it for about 8 months then I started hating it
 
I specifically picked out a good case, because that's something that you can future proof
if you get a good case, you can reuse that forever
 
12:13 PM
also the top doesn't fit on properly
 
and after building my wife's PC with a cheaper case, I knew I needed a good case
 
so it's crooked
 
@BlueBarren that sounds bad
I'd be very disappointed
 
yeah it's the radiator's fault
 
I absolutely love my case, it's the best case I've ever had
 
12:14 PM
I should've gone with a rectangle
and I was going to but then they were out of the rectangle I wanted
 
although if I were to get a new case, I'd probably get something with a PSU closet or whatever those things are called
I'm actually curious now what that thing is called...
 
yeah idk what that is
 
apparently it's called a psu shroud
 
oh I think I know what that is
NZXT usually does that kind of thing, right?

Q: Can I make more than one Tournesol?

Artur Trapp"The Sunflower—A single, beautiful sunflower. Brilliant as the sun, wondrous as creation." This is how the bazaar on Rabanastre describes Tournesol, an incredibly hard-to-build sword, due to it's big amount of ingredients on the recipe. I've played over 600 hours of FFXII and I never figured if...

 
12:16 PM
like the thing on bottom
many manufacturers have them now, it's kinda trendy
 
"image not found"
 
ah yup
exactly what I thought it was
 
it's nice for cable management
 
I don't think that would save me
 
12:18 PM
I have this case
Fractal Design R5
 
yummy
looks a little wide
but yummy none the less
 
I like that it's classy and not a stereotypical gamer case
 
@Chippies <.<
 
it looks wider in that photo than in real life, but it is a bit wider than a regular case
which allows me to stuff more cables behind the motherboard and close the case without issues
 
I like the cable management behind the mainboard that many newer cases have. I transplanted my old computer into a new case, and that helped enormously with making the GPU quiet again, because I now have proper airflow and not the cable mess I had before
I have an R5 as well
 
12:19 PM
I hated that about my wife's case, I had a lot of trouble closing the case after I had all the cables behind the motherboard
I was so frustrated with it
part of the reason I was looking for something that wouldn't have that issue
the R5 also makes the PC really quiet
 
yeah if I unscrew the back plate on my case it comes flying off
pressure and stuff
 
my wife's PC is a fair bit less powerful, but at idle, I can hear her PC, but I can't hear mine, even though mine's closer
at load though, it's a different story... (r9 390 vs gtx 750ti)
and the dust filters on the R5 are great
 
@Chippies shouldnt there be air holes?
 
@Aequitas there's air holes in the back and on the sides of the front cover
the front opens up
 
@Chippies wait what
 
12:22 PM
the little fins on the side near the front are ventilation holes, it pulls air through it
 
oh only those little holes
 
@Aequitas the fan creates enough pull pressure, there's plenty of air going through
 
@Chippies Get up on out of here with my air holes!
 
you can also remove that little square on the side panel for more airflow, if you want to add an extra fan or something
6 mins ago, by Chippies
user image
there's also 3 big squares that can be removes on top of the case
it's very modular
 
mines modular too
i take the side off
and put a desk fan facing in
:)
 
12:25 PM
you can see the holes on top
mine are closed off
 
@Chippies I like that you can remove the HDD cages, that makes it easer to fit in a long GPU without much effort
 
@MadScientist yep, I don't have any HDD cages in right now
 
I have only the bottom one
 
15 mins ago, by Chippies
user image
so much space :P
 
where you put your drives if you dont have the cage?
 
12:27 PM
@Aequitas I don't have any 3.5" drives, I only have a 2.5" SSD and an ancient 2.5" HDD, both are mounted behind motherboard
 
@Chippies thats an awesome heatsink design
 
@Aequitas eh, it's the cheap Evo 212. Great performance per dollar, but there's nothing amazing about it
 
see I'm using liquid cooling for my CPU
 
I'd love to have a Noctua, but hard to justify dropping 100$ on one when my Evo does fine (I'm running my i5-6600k at 4.5GHz)
 
corsair h100 gtx or something
 
12:28 PM
@Chippies i just mean like the vertical design thing
 
some long convoluted name with a lot of letters
 
@Chippies needs a second fan, I suggest ductape
 
makes the airflow go much nicer, generally the cpu fan always messes with the airflow
never seen one go that way
 
@KevinvanderVelden the Evo 212? Doubt a second fan would increase the cooling much, the heatsink is kinda small
 
MOAR FANS
 
12:29 PM
the fan behind it pulls air out away from the heatsink already
 
isn't the fan on the heatsink the wrong way?
 
You should probably just switch out your case with this:
 
@KevinvanderVelden if you keep this up I'mma duct tape some fans to your head
 
@Aequitas I'm not quite sure what you mean, that's the only way I've seen them
 
12:30 PM
except Intel stock junk that blows downwards
 
@KevinvanderVelden yess
 
@KevinvanderVelden seems reasonable
starts saving cash
 
You'll also need a second PSU to power all the fans probably
 
@Aequitas what do you mean wrong way? It blows through the heatsink
 
@KevinvanderVelden a PSU dedicated to my fans
 
12:31 PM
@Chippies oh okay it looked like it blew the other way
 
9000W Platinum +100
 
holy heatsink on that water cooler
that's fat
 
@Chippies do you need external fans if you have a water cooler?
i spose it depends on how effective the water cooler is
 
@Aequitas external as in, something blowing the heat away from the heatsink? or something blowing the heat out of the case?
 
case
 
12:34 PM
well, it depends on if your heatsink is inside or outside the case
 
in and out of case
 
if it's inside, the heatsink will just move the heat away from cpu into the case, so you'd benefit from some case fans
 
Water cooling only cools the GPU/CPU/whatever you watercool. There's other heat generating components that have passive cooling
 
so my CPU is water cooled so I OCed it then it didn't like that now I'm back to default speeds
 
if it's outside, you'll still be generating heat from GPU
 
12:35 PM
They still need you to get the hot air out of the case
(think north/southbridge and RAM for example)
 
@KevinvanderVelden VRM, if you OC
a friend had a cheap AMD motherboard, he OC'd his fx8350 and his VRM exploded
 
wasn't really an overclocking motherboard though, kinda his own fault
didn't even have a tiny heatsink on the VRM, iirc
 
@Chippies examples need not be exhaustive =p
 
@KevinvanderVelden if his VRM was exhaustive, it may not have exploded :P
I think I am using words wrong
 
12:43 PM
Exhaustive means comprehensive, so yes
(well it means something different but close enough, it certainly is not related to exhausts =p)
 
@KevinvanderVelden well, I mean, it does have secondary definition as well
I'm just not sure it applies the same as was intended
 
I have now officially spent an unreasonable amount of time making my jira space at work monochrome, and even then I'm a long way to go
#faxp
 
@KevinvanderVelden why not
 
Because colors are quite useful I suppose
 
12:51 PM
yes, I use colors in my wiki pages
 
@Chippies truth or not I can appreciate this joke
 
that is why everything else doesn't get to use colors
e.g.
.aui-avatar, .userLogo, .avatar-img {
  filter: grayscale() brightness(1.06) contrast(100);
}
that however makes grayscale icons still grayscale
which annoys me
I could get a REAL effect going but I'd have to inject SVG tags in all of the relevant pages.
