The Bridge

12:25 AM

ok, so it seems like the SciFi Channel in Australia is going by the premise of Supernatural Themes = Horror rating because i just read the plot synopsis for Xanadu which they had for Friday Night Frights

previous if a film of tv series in Australia had supernatual themes it would get a content rating of H which is also used for Horror (H = Horror) however it seems to be chnaged because back then Sex Scenes and Sexual References were both S but i saw Deadpool's content ratings have Sex Scenes as SS

not sure if Supernatrual == Horror has been corrected or not but it seems that's how Scifi is determining films for Friday Night Frights

Q: Is there an optimal time to promote from the villager class?

0

In most Fire Emblem games, there's an "optimal" time to promote - that is, you hit level 20 with the base class, and then you promote the unit so that it keeps 20 levels worth of stat growth. Does stat growth work the same way in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia? (and is the villager -->...

which explains why an even older Hulk movie aired previously

12:55 AM

ugh see you all later I guess

@Avery school?

nah, drama on another chatroom.

1:06 AM

@Avery could just leave that room

leaving a room doesn't prevent a Shog™

@Avery if your referring to what happened at Mos from what i keep reading the people Shog named were serial offenders and Mos had a reputation itself. Shog just warned anyone else that if they wan't to restart the chat room they had to learn from Mos's past

@Memor-X I know.

The shog part was a meme, and I'm just saying that I might get a day or two the thing.

user15026

I don't think making what happened to Mos a meme is a smart idea

1:23 AM

@Avery you get chat suspended for a day or 2? from what i read of the transcript i don't really see anything that's going to get you suspended that long. maybe 30 minutes from flags but at least your leave the room before you get too worked up. and hell you haven't been asked to take the voluntarily time out like some people ignore

user15026

Honestly, I'd not worry. If you get suspended, either serve it or take it to the people who can do stuff - you bringing stuff up here and making vague references to other rooms stuff isn't going to help anyone.

@Ash I have a huge kanban board to go through so yeah, I could use some suspension time :P

user15026

I see.

Loooooooolol

Guess you found out diplomacy is a thing huh donnie

Wait, battle.net client was renamed blizzard app? What?

1:35 AM

@Avery Yup

Battle.net is no more

but why? it was such a cool name that was memorable

I guess they didn't want it to look like a Microsoft product anymore

Paint.net agrees.

well a renaming does give them a platform to redesign the entire thing

except everything is the same

even the app is still run at "battle.net.exe"

2:01 AM

SG1 and some string cheese. I am having a party all up in here.

@Ash how far are you up to now?

user15026

Just the second ep. Or third, if you count the first one as two (apparently it was a two parter but I got it as one)

@Ash first one as in Children of the Gods? didn't know that was the first one

the DVDs i have call it the Pilot Episode

user15026

Its the first one in the first season on itunes where I am getting them from

@Ash I want to make a joke about a certain character.... but I also don't want to spoil anything. :/

user15026

Aww I'm sorry

@Ash So only like 211 more episodes to go. Or like 300 if you count the other series

@Sterno so long as by other series you mean just Atlantis

2:40 AM

@Ash It's ok. Wasn't a very good joke anyway, and it wouldn't make sense for several more seasons. :P

Sure. I don't know. I don't remember how many seasons that had or how many episodes the other one had. Only like... 30?

@Sterno more than that for Atlantis. there's like 5 seasons

user15026

And yep he's dead

but was making sure you didn't count Universe

@Sterno Well, there was the 300th episode celebration episode, wasn't there?

2:41 AM

Okay, fine, 350. I'M JUST GOING TO SAY MY WORD "LIKE" COVERED THAT

@TrentHawkins No?

You better not be saying Universe was no good.

Because it got pretty good in season 2. And then got cancelled.

ToxicFrog

@TrentHawkins there was "200" (200th episode), and "Wormhole X-TREME" (100th)

@ToxicFrog oh, right. (thought it was 300 for some reason)

@Sterno because they probably killed off potential ratings in the first season

@Ash well technically he was dead the moment a Goa'uld got into him

user15026

@Memor-X true

user15026

I am enjoying the show, going to have to buy the rest of the season I think

2:48 AM

@Ash and the other seasons too

It used to be on Prime for free :(

user15026

@Memor-X well yes but I can't afford it all right now

user15026

@Sterno i checked Netflix and Crave TV (Canadian Netflix type site) and they didn't have it

@Ash have you tried using kodi?

or is it important for you that you are paying for the show in one way or another? :P

user15026

3:06 AM

Ive not, I'm too lazy to futz with stuff and this is simple. I don't want to have to set up a thing.

well, I mean, if it's not available on netflix and crave tv, your options are kinda limited :)

setting up kodi is pretty simple, there's very thorough guides online about it, but I can understand not wanting to deal with it - it's not quite the quality of netflix ease of use

user15026

Yeah, I just get them from iTunes and then I watch them all lazy like on my iPad

@Chippies I'm sure I could figure it out but tonight I am going with the lazypants route

@Chippies yeah kodi is good for really popular recent stuff, less so for older and less popular things

3:10 AM

@GodEmperorDune eh idk, I've been finding everything I've looked for (not a whole lot) so far. Even had a bunch of old westerns for wife's grandpa

that being said - if it's not on kodi, it's probably not on (Canadian) netflix either

@Chippies i've looked for some older shows and found a boatload of dead links

but SG1 is probably popular enough to be on there

@GodEmperorDune I only use Exodus as my video plugin and it, for the most part, has no dead links

and by that I mean, it scans through 40-50 providers and at least one of them should work

it goes to next source automatically until it finds one that works

I have had cases when nothing worked or the source was too slow to be any good, but it worked fine the next day

I MET A SHARK TODAY

user15026

I'm just lazy when it comes to that stuff honestly

user15026

Most of the currently airing stuff I watch I can find online easily enough

user15026

3:17 AM

I don't mind paying for the occasional thing like this

@GodEmperorDune Kodi had been hit or miss for me. Some shows it does well, other it does not (particularly when there's any discrepancy between airing/dvd/canonical episode order, or if during airing episodes were grouped in 2s (adventure time))

@TrentHawkins yeah its frustrating to watch a whole series, some episodes come through great, others are dead :/

Also ran into one issue of an obscure power-rangers-like show where it seems the source video was in 4:3, stretched to wide screen, had bars put on the top&bottom to make it 4:3 again, then the app stretched the whole thing to wide screen again.

@TrentHawkins :/

my favorite is getting most of the way through an english language movie, then you come to a section where there should be english subtitles and the subtitles are in chinese

no chinese subs for the rest of the movie

just that section

user15026

3:34 AM

See that just sounds like too much frustration

@Ash it why i prefer netflix if its available on netflix

user15026

Yeah, makes sense

licenses are hard

You could give each file a different license if you really wanted.

@Avery Also you could always ask here:

Mad Scientist

I suspect that applying the GPL to anything that isn't code is going to lead to undefined behaviour in the end.

@PrivatePansy ask opengameart

well it's GPL + CC-BY-SA so I'm confused really

Oh, dual licensed.

It really doesn't make sense to license artworks under GPL. Even in section 1 you get weirdness like this

> The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. “Object code” means any non-source form of a work.

which makes no sense for a drawing. You could argue that, say, the PSD file is the "source code", but that's kind of stretching it.

if it's dual licensed, you can just go with CC-BY-SA right

which is not compatible with MIT

2:53 PM

I'm tempted to just release with placeholders and links to the art.
