Q: Grappling in Mortal Kombat 1

Christian WestbrookI've been playing the original Mortal Kombat on a Sega Genesis and haven't figured out how to execute the grapple move where you grab your opponent and throw them behind you. On Very Hard it's fairly difficult to fight in close proximity without this move. I've had trouble finding this move on th...

 
Ugh, why do people want to kill other people
Are humans' lives needless enough that they could be spared to make a political point?
 
Guess who's done with university!

@Ronan \o/ (yay for uni and yay for you're safe)
 
Well. Like 5 hours ago, but still.
 
@Avery they are either mentally deranged nutjobs or are intolerant
@Ronan everyone else?
 
12:35 AM
@Avery Oh yeah I'm not in Manchester.
At least yet, I'll be moving there in the next 3 months.
 
Stay safe.
 
I think on average Britain is a pretty safe place to be.
 
@Ronan it will be when Brexit enters the final stage and Starship UK takes off to Mars
 
they might back out apparently because of the costs

This retweet to reply ratio has to be a record. Also fuck this bitch. https://t.co/5BbPKjgbbl
HamStare @thatdude
 
12:43 AM
@Unionhawk you what
 
user15026
@Ronan yaaaaaay congrats Muppet flail, cake, confetti
 
I should be getting my grades back over the next few weeks, but I'm confident.
 
@fredley lives in London, right?
 
Yeah.
 
@Ronan you graduated from college at 16? that's impressive
 
12:53 AM
@Dragonrage I no rite?!
 
@Avery can you imagine being this shit of a person
 
@Unionhawk I really can't
 
@Wipqozn Also the incident was at a concert, so I imagine we would have heard from him if he was going to be there.
@Wipqozn For once calling you the worst seems in bad taste.
 
@Unionhawk i don't want to imagine it
 
@Ronan Yeah after I asked I realized "well then again, I doubt @fredley would be at an arianne grande concert anyways"
 
12:56 AM
@Ronan teach me your secrets
 
How far away is Cathedral Gardens to the arena?
 
@Avery The secret is to stay being 16 for 6 years.
 
@Wipqozn cats are pricks
 
@Memor-X Only 0.1 miles, assuming I've got the right arena.
 
@Avery can you imagine being employed as a journalist after this
 
user15026
12:58 AM
@Unionhawk I hope that guy can't imagine employment in much of anything after that
 
Because hopefully that guy can't lololol
He'll prob get picked up by TheBlaze tomorrow
 
user15026
He just made an apology that stated that he always makes jokes out of whatever is trending. Like that makes it okay
 
"I'm sorry if you were offended I just tell jokes lol"
 
@Ronan HAS SCIENCE GONE TOO FAR
 
@Ash just makes him more of a fuck head in my opinion
@Avery nope
 
1:02 AM
@Unionhawk not really
 
we don't have mantis men yet
 
user15026
It's like in your tweet you mention the multiple confirmed fatalities yet you still made the joke. You have to be a particular kind of attention seeking asshat to think that "I always make jokes lol" is a valid defense of your shitty actions
 
@Ash as with nearly everything I can't ask for any permanent punishment, but I don't think that he should aim a career in journalism for at least a decade.
@Memor-X we have forever 16 @Ronan
 
@Avery but not forever 16 mantis @Ronan
that's when science has gone too far
 
I do exclusively wear jeggings and... crop tops? I have no idea what Forever 21 sells.
 
user15026
1:06 AM
@Ronan clothes that don't come in my size. (literally that's all I know about that store)
 
I imagine they don't come in my sizes either.
What with being 6ft tall but 28" waist.
 
user15026
1:22 AM
I'm a tall fat lady. Buying clothes is frustrating. So I feel you on that
 
@Ash Unfortunately I'm pretty sure you have it worse.
 
user15026
That's true, you get more things with pockets. :p
 
Haha yeah. Fewer choices of bags though.
My friend said that dresses shouldn't have pockets the other day. She's crazy.
 
user15026
Dresses don't have pockets nearly as often as they should. I would love for more dresses and skirts and hell even pants to have pockets

Q: What do Planet Coaster's shop options do?

Force GaiaIn most shops, when setting the price of each item, theres a little hidden section below each item that allows extras to be set on that item.

@Ash pants with no pockets? What kind of pants-hell do you live in?!
those stretchy women-pants often don't have pockets, making them useless as pants for going out...
 
user15026
@Chippies Lady pants often have no pockets. I've run into jeans without pockets, dress pants without pockets, all kinds of pants without pockets
 
user15026
the worst are the ones that LOOK like pockets but aren'tr
 
I suppose they're called yoga pants? But most women wearing them don't do yoga, so it's a lie
 
user15026
or the ones that give like a quarter inch of pocket
 
@Ash ugh, jeans without pockets sounds horrible
 
user15026
2:02 AM
It is
 
user15026
I pretty much only get my pants at the fancy fat lady store because I am pretty much guaranteed pockets
 
@Ash like the ones that just have this little slit, that's kinda like a pocket, but is actually just sown shut hole
I've seen many dress pants with back pockets like that
 
user15026
@Chippies YES
 
user15026
I have jeans that do that on ALL THE POCKETS
 
@Ash UGH you need to find a better pants shop!
or SUE for false advertisement!
I wonder if that would go through well...
maybe start a pants revolution
 
user15026
2:04 AM
Nah, it's a common thing
 
I know, but it's still false advertisement!
 
user15026
It's so frustrating
 
user15026
apparently it ruins the lines of female-shaped humans silhouettes or something
 
user15026
because boys won't love female-shaped humans if WE HAVE THINGS IN OUR POCKETSES
 
user15026
2:05 AM
(also oh no the purse industry...even though I like pockets AND a purse)
 
@Ash I mean, I can sort of see that, considering female pants are usually a lot more skin-tight than male pants
tight pants with bulky pockets can look odd, especially when you don't have a shirt hanging over it or whatever
and women do usually have purses with them
I guess as a woman you have to choose either have pockets or have loose pants
anyways, gotta go to work :x ttyl

Holy shit dude what
 
U.S. Supreme Court on Monday ruled that Republicans in North Carolina unlawfully took race into consideration when drawing congressional district boundaries, concentrating black voters in an improper bid to diminish their overall political clout.

user15026
@Unionhawk I hate peopel
 
Hannity is insane
Like actually
 
@Unionhawk OWWWWWWWWWWWE! my head hurts so much from the stupidity
 
2:32 AM
Setting aside "there was a fucking terrorist attack targeting kids", "the DNC murdered this dude because he leaked to WikiLeaks because the DNC is evil" is insane.
That's some Infowars level shit and apparently everyone else at Fox is not happy that the story is on his show
So there's that I guess
 
@Unionhawk the story being the attack in Manchester or Seth Rich?
 
user15026
@Unionhawk how does someone's brain even come up with that
 
The second one
@Ash I assume his brain got it from /pol/ through some bullshit osmosis
 
user15026
Well, I know /pol/ was ostensibly trying to Start Some Shit around this whole thing, so
 
And those idiots came up with "child sex dungeon in the basement of a pizza parlor that has no basement"
And pol also came up with "Donald Trump would be a good president"
Potential starrers, h*ck off

Q: Choosing a Kabuto for Evolution in Pokemon Go

user187579Based on the recent Rock event I have a plethora of Kabuto. Ultimately I would prefer to evolve to Kabutops before the event is over. For other Pokemon I have waited to evolve until a high-CP with "Wonder" appraisal and good stats comes along. Unfortunately, all my encounters with Kabuto have bee...

It's hard to explain the feeling
 
@Ash like a kid seeing a dinosaur skeleton in a museum for the first time?

@GodEmperorDune YES

like I knew I wanted to work in tech because that's where my heartsong is but like this...this is some Moana level like omg this thing sort of feels

It's time to share this Alexander Hamilton quote again. You have to read it to believe it. https://t.co/7IWWeuAHgn

Hamilton, dude, I just.
 
"Who paid for you?" he whispered. But the old wall keeps her secrets. https://t.co/xplQhXvzQ3
 
@Ash so in 1792 did someone predict Trump or someone like Trump becoming President?
 
user15026
That's basically what people are interpreting it as yes

Hamilton could be mad savage with words sometimes
 
user15026
@Fluttershy I feel kinda like a monster for laughing at this
 
@Memor-X it was literally the reason the electoral college was supposed to exist
 
@GodEmperorDune to allow or prevent the prophecy?
 
@Memor-X to prevent demagogues from messing everything up
it's why the american system wasn't direct democracy for a long time (and still sorta isn't)
people vote for other people to do the real vote
with the expectation that those people doing the real vote had more sense than the unwashed masses and wouldn't get bamboozled
 
@GodEmperorDune and look at how that turned out
 
4:11 AM
@Memor-X yep, should've bought bamboozle insurance
 
It would have been impossible for them to predict all of the emergent behaviors of the system they developed, especially with hundreds of years of changes to technology and culture
 
@murgatroid99 but human nature doesn't change much in 250 years
 
It's not human nature. It's the way world politics have created an unprecedented atmosphere of fear across the country. It's the way the Internet has changed how information and culture propagates throughout the country and the world. It's the way improved transportation and communication and industrialization in general has changed our view of our place in the world, multiple times. And a lot of other things
They didn't intend for political parties to arise, but because nobody at the time was doing mathematical models of voting systems, they didn't know how their choice of voting system would affect politics.
And the electoral college was created in a very different country, with a lot fewer states and a much different population distribution
The intention was to balance the interests of small states and proportional interests of the population. I don't think they ever predicted the emergence of swing states, where states have power in the election based not on their size but on how close they are to evenly representing both parties
 
4:27 AM
i agree with all of what you said
 
5:00 AM
Yeah, I didn't really expect any of that to be original or insightful. I just wanted to say it
 
Although to be fair, it's also true that human nature doesn't change in 250 years.

Q: How to add internal web cam view in OBS Studio?

Joseph V MI'm using OBS Studio 19.0.2 (64 bit, Windows). But when trying to add the Internal Web Cam view as a source, it's not showing up there. Screenshot attached.

 
6:23 AM
Aha! I thought that was Ben Browder in Guardians of the Galaxy vol 2.
 
6:33 AM
@TrentHawkins spoilers ಠ_ಠ
 
@GodEmperorDune i don't even know who that guy is supposed to be anyway
 
@Memor-X the lead actor of Farscape and the later seasons of Stargate SG-1. Minor role in Guardians Vol 2
 
@TrentHawkins *googles* oh he's Mitchell.....and man i haven't seen Farscape is a long time
 
6:50 AM
After spotting him, I spent a good portion of the movie scanning for Claudia Black (Aeryn Sun / Vala Mal Doran). Sadly, it was not meant to be.
 
@TrentHawkins i haven't watched faithfully when Vala turns up and o certainly don't recall her in Farscape
though then again the only things i remember in Farscape is military empire hunting a living ship, the pilot, a guy who reminds me or Worf who weds this blue plant woman's daughter who reminds me of the female Replicate from Blade Runner, the ship had a baby and the badguy general ended up piloting when he turns good and the last episode i recall was the main guy getting this probe removed from his brain only to get left at the table with his brain cut up unable to talk properly
think the real badguy's name was Scorpion
 
@Memor-X She was the Peacekeeper (military empire) soldier on the living ship, and only other 'human' (technically alien, but they looked human (because of legit story reasons))
 
@TrentHawkins noooooooooooooo
 
@TrentHawkins oh yeh that's right, the female love interest if i recall right
 
farscape was great
i'm pretty sure if i watched it now it wouldn't age well though
 
6:57 AM
@Memor-X right.
 
also that 4th season was rough
 
@GodEmperorDune yes, another show SciFi in Australia could have been airing instead of Buffy the Vampire Slayer
 
the "chrichton has a brain thing so we can do all the non-sequitur ideas the writers have" season
 
Farscape holds up fairly well... some of the effects were a bit dated... And being Jim Henson..... at least one alien race was repurposed from The Dark Crystal

Q: How to batch-cancel tasks in Oxygen Not Included?

user1306322So far I've only discovered one way to cancel any sort of task, be it construction, deconstruction or some service task, and it's to select items one by one and press the corresponding button. But if I want to cancel lots of tasks for a selected area of objects, what do I need to do?

 
7:28 AM
@KevinvanderVelden She never did that. It's a picture we made together (which may or may not cathegorize as a selfie), that I choose as desktop picture.

DAMMIT REDDIT MOBILE! why do you show NSFW content by default?
Though I'm kinda dumb myself for tapping on NSFW content at work too
 
@Nzall they probably assume you're not showing off that you're browsing on your mobile
 
10:32 AM
@Memor-X Here's the thing though. On the desktop version of Reddit, accidentally opening a NSFW post still blurs it if you have the option enabled. However, in this case, it was tap it => nude woman next to "no nudity" sign
 
@Nzall is the option set in you're profile or as a session/cookie?
 
I assumed that firstworldanarchists was one of those subs that forcefully marked all new posts as NSFW
@Memor-X I'm not sure. I'm using the app, not the browser, and I got RES enabled at home
 
@Nzall was this NSFW stuff nudity or extreme violence
 
@Memor-X check above: full frontal naked woman on a beach next to a "no nudity on this beach" sign
 
@Nzall yeh thought that was just an example. nudity is not what i would expect from something about anarchists
then again my image right now is people skipping on the grass that says don't walk on the grass
 
10:37 AM
@Memor-X Yeah, but there are some subs like Imgoingtohellforthis that by default put everything tagged as NSFW because of the content type. I thought that FWA was similar
 
@Nzall is it the system that does it, or users
 
@Memor-X the system, essentially. Either it's reddit itself or an automod.
you define it when creating a sub, and the admins can change it if needed.
 
@Beedrill oh god not again
 
10:52 AM
@Nzall my hope it's a false alarm caused by someone innocently and accidentally leaving a bag behind and with everyone on edge it's like in The Siege where everyone drops to the ground hearing a gunshot when it was the backfire of a car
 
indeed
i said it would come to this
gurrilla attacks en mass
get people into a state of not knowing anything anymore
and suddently they'll start turning on each other too :/
I don't want it to be this
but it's the logical next step of terroism
 
11:05 AM
Wow. Steam just spammed my Twitter feed with like 2 dozen promotions
 
@djsmiley2k that's implying these nutjobs have any logic in their actions. isn't it logical that if the basis if your "cause" is religious text and said text says that any images of gods/prophets are to be destroyed you actually destroy them, not just destroy what you can't steal and sell
 
true
but eitherway
 
@Nzall wishlist specials?
 
@Memor-X no, just a bunch of deals
29 different deals one after another
 
@Nzall any for games you're actually interested in?

but those don't load right now.

Uh, float in C++ is a function?

@KevinvanderVelden not before december.
 
Apparently it does the same thing it does in Python, but I have no idea why
C doesn't have this
 
@PrivatePansy No, float is a primitive type, and IIRC a reserved word.
 
@MBraedley Right, but the code compiles, and actually does what you expect it to do
 
@badp You work from home full time?
 
@Arperum no
I have a proper standing desk at work :)

C++/C difference, in C++ you're constructing a new float object, in C you're crashing

@KevinvanderVelden Don't you need new in C++ to call the constructor?
I never really did any serious C++
 
1:05 PM
@PrivatePansy No, only if you're constructing a pointer to an object (or primitive) on the heap.
 
Ah, okay
 
new Thing is "allocate memory on the heap and construct a Thing object there
Thing is "construct a Thing object on the stack"
new (thingPointer) Thing is "construct a Thing object on the memory pointed to by pointer, and hope that it is of sufficient size"
 
Some people consider it to be an anti-pattern, but it's perfectly legal.
 
@MBraedley I wouldn't want to have shared pointers allocated on the heap =p
 
1:07 PM
@KevinvanderVelden Uhh...
 
@KevinvanderVelden I was talking about Thing t = Thing(args)
 
@MBraedley aah
@PrivatePansy yeah, don't use that
Unless you have a very specific goal and know what you are doing =p
 
@PrivatePansy Generally two Things will have the same size. Unless thingPointer points to the base class of Thing, but then you'd be lying.
 
@MBraedley You can also have Thing* thingPointer = reinterpret_cast< Thing * >( malloc( 1 ) )
 
@KevinvanderVelden Well that's just (morally) wrong.
 
1:14 PM
Well, mostly new (T* ) T is used for object pools and such, you can have errors where you have less memory then you think you have
 
Also, for a simple sort by struct member question this student wrote a simple bubble sort... then copy and pasted it for every field in the struct
It's not wrong... technically speaking, but uuuuuuugh
I'm tempted

Q: How do you perform the Festival Platform creative finisher?

DanmakuGrazerFestival Platforms are meant to be destroyed, but some of them have the creative finisher sign next to them. Despite KOing an opponent in front of the platforms multiple times, I've never seen the finisher happen. Is there an additional requirement for the finisher? How do you perform it?

@PrivatePansy ... wat

So it's been awhile since I've messed with C++, but this is basically sorting objects by properties?
:/
 
@Yuuki We're teaching C, not C++, but the online grader uses g++ for some reason
Oh, right, because the test runner is a C++ test runner, and they looked at the difference between the two languages, then shrugged and said "close enough"
 
:/

To my knowledge if you don't write horrible terrible C code then C++ is backward compatible with C
