@Chippies *maple buck
if the Australians can have dollerydoos then we deserve maple bucks
(I realize that's not actually what their dollar is called)
 
@BlueBarren i believe we do
 
user15026
I kinda want to play BotW after watching @twobugs play it but I don't want to actually buy a Switch and I don't have a WiiU. I'm also really bad at remembering to play anything I have on console.
 
user15026
(I suspect part of that is my TV is very small and my living room is set up weird)
 
user15026
Like I might consider a Switch eventually but right now I cannot justify it for just one game
 
@Ash clearly the solution is a bigger TV
also @nintendo please support /r/PCMR
 
12:07 AM
I just checked the EB Games website and the trade-in deal doesn't seem as good as we were told. I wonder if the sales guy told us wrong stuff...
 
actually, do they still have those things where you can rent consoles and games for like a month or so?
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune Yeah, but I never use the TV ever (all my TV watching is on my computer) so it's kinda a weird thing where I don't want to get a new console and I also don't want to get a new TV :P
 
like blockbuster used to do?
 
I have some pop-out text stuck on my monitor that refuses to go away. :(
 
I am perpetually amazed at the time scales the code I'm working on operates at. Someone filed a bug that our code was taking tens of milliseconds to do something, when it should have been at least an order of magnitude faster.
 
12:09 AM
@GodEmperorDune never heard of it, kinda doubt it, but I'm not the right one to ask anyway
 
user15026
I might ask my dad to borrow his WiiU and copy of BotW when he is done with it eventually
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune I don't even know where you'd find that. Maybe those weird rent-a-thing places that let you rent furniture and stuff might?
 
@murgatroid99 I'm amazed at someone noticing that
must be a pcmr gamer
 
user15026
@Fluttershy Sometimes my work email client does that and it makes me crazy. Unfortunately I don't have a fix :/
 
user15026
@murgatroid99 The fact that that is noticed just baffles and amazes me
 
12:10 AM
@Fluttershy find a way to make a new pop-out text, might get rid of the old one
 
@Chippies Didn't work. Refreshing my desktop doesn't clear it either. Bleh.
 
@Fluttershy if you right click on it, does it go through to desktop?
what is the pop-up from? browser? windows?
 
@Chippies Nope. It treats it as though it's not there. And, my browser, I believe.
Closing the browser doesn't clear it though.
 
@Fluttershy have you tried restarting browser, if it's an option?
oh
 
@Fluttershy bare metal reinstall, it's the only way to be sure
 
12:13 AM
I mean, that's the worst option available, but have you tried turning it (the PC) off and on?
 
@Chippies @Ash It's not that someone noticed the individual milliseconds. It's more that our code is run many many times, and it can add up to slower responses from web servers, for example.
 
@Chippies Not yet. I'm sure that'll fix it, but it's not quite annoying enough for that yet.
 
user15026
@murgatroid99 Okay, yeah, that makes sense.
 
@murgatroid99 I figured that (or someone actually measuring the performance with tools) was the case, but I wanted to make a joke
 
For some languages with high performance expectations (like C), my teammates have a goal of reducing the time to small numbers of microseconds. Because when you have entire data centers constantly running this stuff, even microseconds can add up.
 
12:15 AM
@murgatroid99 0.o
i don't even know how you get that fast
drop down into assembly?
 
user15026
@murgatroid99 That makes sense, but I've never worked with anything on that sort of scale so just thinking about those small increments of time breaks my brain a little let alone working in them and trying to make it faster
 
or is it more algorithm choice at that point?
i suppose i can look at your project's github to figure out but eyes will glaze over
 
Consider this: modern processors run at about 2 to 5 GHz per core. That's several thousand instructions per microsecond. You can do a lot with that. So part of it is avoiding stuff that can cause delays, like dynamic memory allocation or lock acquisition.
 
unrelated, @GnomeSlice kermode emailed that they will be doing a track a week now. RIP wallets
 
12:31 AM
@murgatroid99 I don't think anything over 3 GHz (and even that high) is very common for servers, is it?
granted, most I've heard about server cpu's is from Intel Xeon's
 
@Chippies Admittedly, I kind of pulled those numbers out of nowhere
 
not even sure if Xeon's are that popular in high-end servers
@murgatroid99 well, the range was pretty accurate and included both servers and home computers :) You never specified that you were talking about server processors
 
I mean, our stuff is expected to run on desktop computers too, but the time constraints aren't really as tight for that kind of application
There's generally less of a need for a home computer to process thousands of network requests per second

Q: Is it frowned upon to use multiple worlds for the same character

Jun HayakawaI have just entered hardmode in terraria on my phone, and I have a drax, capable of mining chlorophyte. Of course, it needs some time to grow to get a usable amount, so I thought I could just beat the WoF on another world and just sit around and wait for its chlorophyte to grow, without having to...

 
Trump has offered the position of Ambassador to Russia to Jon Huntsman, a man who he had previously of course tweeted a condemnation of for "turning our country over to China", because life is a sick and twisted parody of what reality should be and nothing matters
 
@TimStone i just feel bad for jon huntsman
gets stuck being ambassador to everything
 
I know, all the "Huntsman Face-to-Face with the Bear" jokes
 
1:01 AM
I think Revali's VA isn't half-bad.
@GodEmperorDune At least he'll be spending a lot of time in a more modern country /s (Seriously, please don't take this seriously)
 
@TimStone Are we interpreting this as "Trump is a hypocrite", or "Trump wants to turn the country over to Russia"?
 
@murgatroid99 I'm assuming a bit of a hypocrite.
And also the latter.
 
Yes, whynotboth.gif
 
I guess neither of those is exactly a new idea about Trump
 
It's just kind of incredible that he has conflicting tweet for just about everything
I guess if you run your mouth enough that's bound to happen, but some of this is coincidentally specific
 
1:11 AM
@TimStone i can't believe he's having lyin' ted cruz for human president over for dinner
 
I still hope they have steak
 
I hope they have soup
 
That would also be hilarious
 
time to stream twitch.tv/twobugs
breath of the wild spoilers cc @BlueBarren don't click this
 
@TimStone although I think the Texas senator would probably deck the president for ordering well done
 
1:21 AM
@TimStone it's like those things where people post "team A will win" and "team B will win" and then delete the one that was wrong after the fact, except Trump posts all possible things and doesn't delete anything
 
@Chippies why would he need to delete them when they are all true
 
android sdk pls

@Dragonrage but the question is, had the horse stayed still could you still get on it and make your escape?
 
user15026
Man, I never realized how much my old mattress sucked but now I am lying on my new one and it is magic. It came in a tiny box, too. instagram.com/p/BRZjfzZAspR
 
user15026
I am in awe of my bed, I apologize
 
@Memor-X idk
@Ash i could probably use a new mattress, but id settle for a new pillow
 
it's be like in those shows/movies where the character jumps off a cliff on purpose only to land on their ride which slowly rises up. but in this case it could be Link galloping long the side of the mounatin
 
user15026
1:47 AM
@Dragonrage New pillows are always good. I got new pillows a few months ago from IKEA, so my bed is now amazing
 
user15026
And my sister made me an awesome quilt for being her MOH so really my bed is the best bed
 
@Ash is that it already on the bed, or is it still in box?
 
user15026
First pic is it in box on top of my boxspring
 
oh, derp, saw that just as you replied. :X
 
user15026
(THere is multiple pics in the post, there should be a little clickable arrow, or swipe left)
 
1:51 AM
@Ash it says "scroll left to see the full adventure", but there's arrows only to go right. I'm guessing you can swipe left on touchscreens? nitpicking
 
user15026
@Chippies oh yeah
 
user15026
I'm not used to people using instagram on not-mobile
 
@Ash wow, that looks comfy
 
@Ash if you don't mind me asking, how much was it?
(and from where was it bought?)
 
user15026
@TrentHawkins 904 CAD with tax, shipping was free iirc

Q: Which tank has the most bullet speed NATURALLY?

Iguanodon_Bubbles7777777I hate it when people steal my kills because my bullets aren't fast enough. But I like to save my points for damage, reload, and health upgrades, good for battles, and don't put much power into bullet speed. Which would be the tank with the highest base bullet speed?

 
@Ash adulting is expensive :(
 
user15026
I got it from ca.endysleep.com
 
user15026
There's usually a $50 off coupon code around
 
@Ash drat, was hoping boxed mattress might be cheaper.
 
when I hear about people paying 1000$+ for beds and tables and whatnot, it makes me go "wtf" and then I realize that that's not even a lot for those things
 
user15026
1:54 AM
@TrentHawkins It was $850 for my queen size, then I had a $50 off coupon thing, then tax
 
I only need a twin.... buuuut - kinda holding off for now. Bed frame is falling apart anyway. Once I have a paying job again, I have my eyes set on a Malm.
 
user15026
@TrentHawkins Friends of mine have that bed!
 
user15026
If I ever replace this frame, I'd consider that frame with my current mattress (pretty sure that'd work)
 
I do believe it's a queen, so it should work with your mattress. It has so much space-efficient storage! Unlike my current bed that has three drawers that don't even go half-way under.
 
user15026
I have no storage under my bed, currently
 
user15026
2:08 AM
Okay, the fact that they give you a $10 egift card for Starbucks for posting to social media about your mattress is a nice touch
 
(ok, there's space under my bed beyond the drawers, but is of the "Crap, that rolled under the bed. It is now gone forever" variety.)

what the FUCK
my browser with like 20 tabs open uses 22GB OF RAM (half ram half swap but still)?!
 
@Avery sure that's not a lifetime value (ie. how much has been used since it started)
 
let me restart my browser and see how that goes
aaand everyhting is muuch more fluid now

The white house sent me an email with the argument "20m are paying the uninsured penalty instead"...
That sounds like a low number to me to be arguing "this is a disaster" especially when it's the same number that gained insurance on aca
Like, obviously the actual uninsured rate is higher than that
But
The uninsured rate has also gone down in every state
 
3:53 AM
@Avery It's borgore, what do you expect
 
@GnomeSlice you have a point

huh, that was sudden. i generally expect that when an avatar chnages the cache keeps the old one but all of @Avery's suddenly changed to the new one
 
holy crap I just deployed this code with accidental infinite recursion and it totally crashed my emulator (and I can't start a new one -- it gives an error, wow)
@Memor-X It's kinda broken for me

Q: Is the max CP of a hatched Chansey effected by the trainer level you were when you hatched it?

SHADOW OF WAR LOOKS KICKASS HOLY SHIT
 
@Unionhawk if it's a squeal to Shadow of Mordor then it aught to
 
It is
Alpha gameplay video available now
 
@Unionhawk no Stealth-Brand-with-an-teleport-arrow bullshit like in the Celebrimbor Mode?
 
THERE'S TELEPORTING IN BOTH DIRECTIONS
IT IS GREAT
You have a Ring of Power now it's fine
There are also captains with Cursed weapons, eliminating your abilities until you kill (or supposedly kill) them
Everything about what I just watched looks and sounds like an awesome game and my body is ready
 
@Unionhawk i don't know, the fact i should shoot an arrow at an Uruks and teleport right to him and insta-brand ruined alot of the stealth work in sneaking around and stealth branding everyone
unless it's restricted to when you're using the Ring of Power
 
5:19 AM
I mean you're also going in with an army it looks like so I don't know if stealth will be as enormous as it was in Mordor
 
@Unionhawk ahhh ok then

@Ash Ubisoft seems to be trying to turn over a new leaf. Hell... If EA can do it, anyone can. Good on Ubisoft for trying.
 
user15026
FOr sure :)
 
5:24 AM
@Memor-X but also like I said THE TELEPORTS GO BOTH WAYS YOU CAN TELEPORT DUDES TO YOU THEN CUT THEY IN HALF
 
@Unionhawk useful in stealth when trying to get rid of the bodies, not so useful in open combat since, you know, you just cut them in half. you got better thing to do after you kill a bloke then sending his corpse away, like the other 20 guys looking for a piece of you....unless they come back to life
but teleporting yourself around in combat would be good especially when you get stuck in a corner or in a ring of death

Hilarious unintended new mattress side effect - its higher than the old one. My cat has not learned to adjust when jumping up or down. So it involves a lot of scrambling and ridiculous cat maneuvering.
 
Obviously what you should do is place a jack under your mattress, and adjust its height every day

@Arperum I saw it in the form of a YouTube ad, so I didn't have a link, hang on
Like, literally a 16 minute ad
 
@Unionhawk Imagine that that ad is unskippable...
 
It isn't
But I didn't skip it because it's relevant to my interests
 
12:31 PM
@Unionhawk Out of interest, how long was the video that the ad was for?
 
Uh 10
But like they made a sale off it although I was probably buying it anyway so
BUT IT'S NOT UNTIL AUGUST
Now I want to reinstall Mordor
 
1:02 PM
@Unionhawk dammit requirement to log in to view (because it might be unsuited for some people)
 
@Arperum got to make sure you're 17+ ;)
 
@Unionhawk are you feeling cold because of the ice cream
 
@Arperum lol
It is definitely going to be M
Or 18 for Europe
 
Isn't M 18+? (not familiar with american ratings)
 
1:12 PM
@KevinvanderVelden there only was one healthcare plan of 2017 at the time of writing
 
@badp This has to be the case.
 
@Jutschge M is 17+ then AO is 18+
 
Wtf... always thought M would be the highest rating. Never seen the AO rating anywhere...
 
AO (Adult Only) is general reserved for extremely sexual games and hyper violent games
I haven't seen any released for a while but then again I don't know if anyone would report on it if they did
A lot of games end up being M because people assume if a game is AO it's a porn game
And you'll sell less
 
I'll never get how in America sex is worse than extreme violence...
 
1:20 PM
imo GTA V should be AO but then they would age gate a fair amount of their audience as parent seem to be okay with M games but not AO
 
@Arperum literally they couldn't come up with anything better
@BlueBarren not at night time
 
@BlueBarren I mean typically if it's AO it is a porn game
The esrb has a high tolerance for violence
 
@BlueBarren That looks so ridiculous
 
@badp literally unplayable now
@Unionhawk I threw hyper violent games in there because I think there's been a few
 
I think Hatred is one of the few to get it for violence
 
1:30 PM
Also different times, right?
 
But that's a game about murdering literally everyone because Reasons?
 
Violence seem to become more and more acceptable as our digital technology adapts (for games and movies) while things of sexual nature seem to be taboo
All and all though as far as ratings go they're a year apart so it really doesn't make a difference

Q: Copying game files from friend who also owns the game Steam?

SaadMy friend and I recently purchased Rainbow Six: Siege on Steam. However I have a very limited data plan so I can't download. Can I copy the game contents from his PC to mine?

 
@badp the meme doesn't specify it has to be at nighttime.
@BlueBarren In the EU, it's actually the reverse: Leisure Suit Larry (essentially a porn game) is rated 16 (similar to ESRB M) while GTA V is rated 18 (similar to ESRB AO)
 
@Unionhawk did you play Shadow of Mordor with a controller or kb&m?
 
What I find weird (especially in movies but also in games) is that as soon as there is a bit of nudity it's 18+ in America. Even if it's non-sexual.
 
I still need to finish Shadow of Mordor and the controls bother me, because the game plays so much better with a controller, but I can't aim for shit with the sticks, so the bow becomes useless to me
 
Hmm, I played it with keyboard and mouse and was okay
I forget if anything about the controls annoyed me at the time though
 
1:54 PM
I played it with controller. And since it was the first game I played with a controller I sucked terribly at it.
 
@Nzall Leisure Suit Larry is essentially a porn game? The name sounds familiar but I can't seem to recall what that is. The question is do I want to google it?
@Jutschge that's because sexuality is taboo in North America (Well the US & Canada, I don't know about Mexico)
 
@Jutschge That's not entirely true. You can still get a 14A rating with brief nudity (mainly just breasts).
 
Leisure Suit Larry is an adult-themed video game series created by Al Lowe. It was published by Sierra from 1987 to 2009, then by Codemasters from 2009. The games follow Larry Laffer, a balding, double entendre-speaking, leisure suit-wearing man in his 40s. The game play revolves around him attempting, usually unsuccessfully, to seduce attractive women. == Series == The series had its origins in Sierra's earlier Softporn Adventure, a 1981 text adventure created by designer Chuck Benton; the story and basic structure from that game were reused for the first "Larry" game. The "Larry" games were...
Note: I haven't read the page fully, but it doesn't contain any images beyond a SFW box art
 
@Nzall huh okay so I've heard of t his game but I still understand when or why I heard about it
apparently the series got less explicit?
I mean it really depends on how graphic the games get with their content

Q: What Machines fall under each category?

VemonusThere are four trophies regarding killing one of every type of Machine in each category. However, there is nowhere in-game that tells you what category each Machine falls under.

Aww yiss. Blackwood Crossing releases next month!
cc @GnomeSlice
 
Although I guess that news isn't obvious but the whole topic of "video games make people violent" annoys me.
Just makes me want to beat someone /s
 
@BlueBarren Note that most research is done on people without any mental issues
 
hey, the narrative is that videogames make people violent, not that it makes violent people more violent.
 
AFAIK, there hasn't yet been done any research involving people with pathic tendencies
 
2:05 PM
@BlueBarren I would understand pornography or violence as a taboo. But sexuality and nudity? That's pretty normal.
 
if anything they probably make violent people less violent
 
@Nzall Okay but then there's a lot of violent content that could set someone off with mental issues. I wouldn't blame that on the video games or other media but whatever mental illness they have. Hence we need to help people with mental illnesses not ban video games or something silly like that
@Jutschge I agree but tell that to society
or my society rather
 
@badp unless you're having major ping spikes in an online games. This shit makes me furious.
 
@Jutschge I get furious when people are interpreting what I do or say in a way that makes me look like the bad guy
But that's not just in videogames
 
"videogames don't make people violent, but lag does" is one of my favourite professor's favourite quotes
Well Actually™ it's the jitter

@badp now this is a statement I agree with
 
@Fluttershy i love the visuals in that
the characters seem particularly expressive
i wonder how long it will be
 
@GnomeSlice I'm curious about this myself. But, if it's anything like Firewatch in terms of quality, I'd be fine with it being 3-6 hours.
Hell, Virginia was only 2 hours, and I bought it twice because of how good it was.
 
Heh
 
@Fluttershy Would play another Firewatch
 
I still need to play firewatch
 
2:28 PM
@GnomeSlice Yes you do
 
the last really story driven adventure I played was SOMA
 
It'll only take a few hours
 
holy soy it was amazing though
 
@fredley Have you played Virginia?
 
@fredley and like $30
 
2:29 PM
@Fluttershy No, I still need to finish LiS too
@GnomeSlice really? Wait for it to be on sale, as it often is
 
Did you play Kentucky Route Zero @Fluttershy?
 
@fredley Me too. But, I highly recommend Virginia. It has a huuuuuge Twin Peaks vibe to it, and succeeds at telling a compelling story without a single line of dialogue.
@GnomeSlice Not yet. I was waiting for all of it to release. Has it?
 
Probably. I forgot it was in installments
either yes or no
most likely
 
That covers all the options.
 
soma has the best story in a game I've ever played
at least i really liked it
best experience for me personally
 
2:32 PM
It's gonna be hard to top The Last of Us for me, personally, in terms of story.
 
@Fluttershy That came with my ps4 and i still haven't played it lol
 
Oh, also, Oxenfree is another really good narrative game.
 
soma was hard and scary though
@Fluttershy looks neat
soma would have been better as a movie imo
the miniseries they did was cool but they didn't have enough actors
@Fluttershy don't forget brothers too

Q: Most effective multiplayer weapon loadout in Uncharted 4?

J.ICurrently, I'm about level 15 and prefer to use a machine gun/ shotgun over a sniper. In multiplayer, I have noticed that the elite players, with top scores, usually hip-fire and hardly aim down sights. Which primary weapon would be best suited to this play style? And which secondary weapon woul...

 
@GnomeSlice Such a good game.

So my local Target has a Guardiian amiibo, but it's like twice the price of Amazon's listing.

Q: Party health bars flashing at random times?

Samuele MattiuzzoSometimes, without any particular reason (I think, at least none that I can think of), the health bars of my companions will flash with a yellow hue. They'll keep blinking for a while then they stop. It never happens when I'm exploring a dungeon or during a crisis, mostly happens in "safe zones"...

 
So I was having a conversation with a friend about BotW not really being a Zelda game. Now I'm curious, what do you guys think makes a game part of a series?
 
@BlueBarren whether the developer thinks it's part of the series
I mean, people can argue that BotW is not a traditional Zelda game, but it does have a lot of the Zelda elements, just in the open world coat that's all the rage these days
 
@Nzall so what of the case of Halo? The game was developed by Bungie but now it's done by 343i
 
2:57 PM
@BlueBarren Again, does 343 think their halo games are part of the Halo series?
 
@Nzall But does Bungie think 343i's Halo games are part of their series?
 
also, with developer, I mean shorthand for developer/publisher/original idea creator
 
Because I think your question has an obvious answer, 343i and MS think 4 & 5 are part of the series
 
And as always, everyone can have their own opinion on whether a game belongs to a series
 
This is true
My and friend and I got into the conversation of games like Halo Wars because that's where the water truly gets muddy
I'm saying it's defined by universe he's saying it's solely defined by gameplay mechanics
 
2:59 PM
@BlueBarren Halo Wars is part of the halo franchise
IMHO, a franchise is different from a series
