Q: Why does Minecraft keep crashing?

I join a server such as mineplex or hypixel, and 10-500 seconds after is crashes and says "unexpected crash occurred, sorry for inconvenience". I've already tried rebooting my PC, reinstalling Java, and reinstalling Minecraft. It's not an error like it won't log in at all, it's like it realizes I...

@Fluttershy youtu.be/2kPSl2vyu2Y

I still need to replay the first one. Game bugged at one point and I needed to restart. Haven't gone back since.

@RedRiderX That's fine. I have an Xbone.

@Wipqozn You should replay it, but the Definitive Edition instead.

@BlueBarren I'd argue that the best part of the show was learning that I can play Crimson Skies again. :P

@BlueBarren Given the fuss made over the canceled multiplayer add-on for State of Decay, I'd guess and say they're almost guaranteed to be putting it in this one to avoid that fiasco again.

Q: How can I disable item id tooltips?

I've got a custom modpack and for some reason there are multiple item ID tooltips. I've already disabled the ones from NEI, but I've never been able to figure out what other mods are adding these useless tooltips. Does anyone know what other mods add these tooltips? Screenshot: Mod List: 1...

Q: Wilson's Heart - What is Boris talking about?

Spoilers ahoy. In the game Wilson's Heart, a demonic teddy bear hunts you and attempts to kill you several times, named Boris. He taunts you, saying things like "If your friends knew why you were really here, they wouldn't like you very much!" and "You're not a very nice man, are you Wilson?" ...

ugh, google's just completely abusing recaptcha to feed their graphical recognition stuff now, huh?

user15026

@Avery hasn't it always been the case

Well yeah, but that exact pinpointing is kinda too... crazy. Plus it has no real method of verification. I tried selecting a wrong part (sorry for bad data, google), and it accepted it.

Also I already have this apparently. HTD69-7AKKL-DGYQ2. Please drop a message if you take it so people don't try actiivating it while they can't.

@Fluttershy I've never played that game so I have no idea what it's about or why the excitement. As far as State of Decay goes I'm not sure if they'll actually do it or not... because idk...

@Avery oh whoops

I activated that

idk even know what it is

I was just curious

Well, give it a shot. Hope you enjoy it.

1:45 AM

I guess I'll try it

well it's an adult swim game so it's guaranteed to be ~~terrible~~ acceptable.

@Avery hmm <.<

@Avery that's how recaptcha has always worked, and AUIU the recognition part works by feeding the same problem to lots of different people and waiting for a consensus -- it doesn't trust any one answer.

@ToxicFrog yep, from my research on it that's how it goes :)

But interesting!

@ToxicFrog I never know if my hyperfocuses are interesting

user15026

(except Hamilton, that one I know @GodEmperorDune is on board with at least)

@ToxicFrog Actually, the original RECAPTCHA always presents two images - one it already has confidence in and another it does not

user15026

1:55 AM

@PrivatePansy Yep, its why there are two words, etc

If you get both right it'll accept the data for the second one

This CAPTCHA on the other hand doesn't seem to have a verification image

user15026

one it knows and one it doesn't so much

user15026

@PrivatePansy I wonder if it knows part of the image but not other bits?

user15026

like maybe it knows the yield triangle but not the roundabout circle?

@Ash because hamilton is awesome, duh

Q: What guns will Disorderly Combat never give?

Disorderly Combat is the type of gobblegum that I want to use around round 15-20, when plenty of zombies are on the board and I can get the most out of each gun I get for those sweet five minutes. Problem is, is that I don't know what guns I can get from the gobblegum. It's great dropping zombie...

Q: Minecraft Won't Update To 1.12 Pls Help

Apperently i can't update my minecraft to 1.12, everytime i press the play button with the 1.12 version, an error message comes out :( Then i try to turn off my antivirus, but it still doesn't work :( The Error Message : Name: fr_fr.lang URL: http://resources.download.minecraft.net/eb/eb662a505...

@Avery wat

@GodEmperorDune firstly, you're wrong. You should ask "where can I buy some?"

@Avery i live in california, i know where to get it

Secondly, what the hell is a marijuana lube

like why

Who saw the need for it

Thirdly, why would you even drink it?

Like the viscosity would be much higher and it'd be nearly painful to drink

NO.

NO. BETHESDA. STOP.

you will, but the last time was just such a disaster

tbh, ive only played skyrim out of TES series

I played an hour or two or skyrim and got bored

skyrim was actually kind of a let down. I mean, yeah, it was still awesome as hell, but the quest system was just... meh.

i was afk, and later when i wanted to play minecraft, on screen was writed: YOU ARE AFK,move to pick up where you left of. i did that and i still have same text on screen, i can move and break blocks, but i hardly can see anything. Please help!!

Kevin van der Velden

@badp meh, it was merely git rebase with one fixup to remove an API key that shouldn't be there

11:38 AM

@KevinvanderVelden The last time I did that one of my co-workers didn't update their local version and kept merging back in the key (along with loads of duplicate commits) after being told to like four times.

Kevin van der Velden

><

Fortunately that's not an issue in this case

(I think I'm the only one with a local clone? This is all new and experimental stuff for this company)

I solved the problem by leaving the company.

It clearly tells you there's a merge and that it's adding like 100 new commits.

@Ronan At least in SVN, you can't commit without doing an update first, or at least I think you can't

No, you do have to update to commit, but you can either merge the two together or just take the remote copy.

Dammit, I'm getting flashbacks to Warlords of Draenor... 98% chance mission and fearing that they might fail...

11:49 AM

Heh RNGsus. In fire emblem a 60% hit chance means you're missing 8 out of 10 attacks.

And from my experience a 95% chance for a mission success in WoW is guaranteed to fail if it's important

@Jutschge There's this meme in D&D where a 10% chance is pretty unlikely, but a chance of 1 in a million is a sure thing.

12:05 PM

I really dislike this "Xbox Play Anywhere titles == no Xbox exclusives"

I mean yes there are no "Xbox Exclusives" anymore

they're are just Microsoft Exclusives

which is the same thing

OH NOES MORE PEOPLE CAN PLAY MORE VIDEOGAMES THIS IS AWFUL

at least a few of those games are going be exclusive to the Windows 10 store. Arguably that still makes them XBone exclusives because, I mean, who's going to buy $60 videogames from the Windows 10 store?

Can you play it on a PS4? No. Can you play it on Linux? No. Can you play it on Mac? No. So you have to buy into MS's ecosystem to play the game and I highly doubt your average consumer is going to buy Windows 10 PC that'll play the games better than an Xbox One

still -- slightly better than no port

@badp I buy play anywhere titles on my XO and I just get the added.. "benefit" of also having them on PC (but in the Windows Store)

still -- a better deal than having to buy the same game twice

12:08 PM

Although I've only bought Gears of War 4...

buying the same game once and getting it on multiple platforms is how things SHOULD be

@badp my thoughts exactly. If you own a PC decent enough to play games and an XO why aren't you buying play anywhere titles? It's just stupid

@BlueBarren so what's your problem?

I'm not sure I understand

@badp well my initial complaint was people complaining about Xbox having no exclusives because they're doing exclusives better than PlayStation

You can safely ignore the opinion of anyone who thinks exclusives are a good thing

8

12:13 PM

They aren't good but I think people have a valid argument when they use them as a reason to which console they'll buy

because they don't really have a choice

What I see most is playing saying that's the determining factor on which console they're going to buy

Microsoft knows that if you buy a computer to play games with they're still going to get money from you from the Windows license, a copy of Office, and the Store itself

I think they also realized if you play games on a PC you're probably going to avoid buying a console for as long as possible

I guess they're afraid Windows and XBone might cannibalize each other's sales

But if MS is making money on either then how's that the case?

@Fluttershy That's a pretty definite statement!

hahahah haahhahahAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAAHAHA;OL;OLOLOLROFLROFLROLOLOLHAHAHA

12:22 PM

TIL Google Play music supports FLAC

Also listening to Madoka OST is a terrible idea

About two of the songs are mildly cheerful. The rest makes you sob uncontrollably.

Hmm so this Creation Club thing are they and did they say if they are/how much they are charging for Creation Credits or whatever that currency is called?

Exclusives can be good for developers, as the platform is helping fund their game. Obviously it's not ideal for consumers

I don't think I've ever heard someone say, though "Thank God this game is a PS4 exclusive!"

We're getting pretty close to people saying that though

Saying "I'm getting a PS4 because I like it's exclusive titles better" doesn't mean you think exclusives are a good thing

Source: I got a PS4 because I like its exclusive titles better

But some people also don't care about exclusives because they bought a system for specific games and they'll just deal with it

12:34 PM

(plus, Xbone games usually eventually come to PC. Not so for PS4)

I bought an Xbox because I hate my PSN account name

"Brak-ets" 11 year old me hates 21 year old me

I also hate my brother because he told me to name my account that

it was my first online account and I regret it

You still can't change psn names?

No, you also can't change your birthday either

Better than, say, "fartnozzle"

Still silly but not as much of an issue

12:36 PM

simple account management features aren't available on PSN. I'm surprised they allow me to change my email.

@BlueBarren Exactly. I'm considering buying a PS4 Pro not because I want to play my games on there, but because the PS4 has some exclusives (including older content) that I might want to try

$5 says they use the account name as the primary key

@RedRiderX that's if you put in your real birthday. You can imagine the 11 year old who named their account Brak-ets put in a fake birthday to make them self 18 so now I never remember my birthday on the account.

@Sterno lots of PS games have been coming to Steam

just not as quickly

@ToxicFrog Can you even use special characters in your account name? or is it just lame old 92 printables?

12:38 PM

That was not true at the time I made the purchase

I'm crossing my fingers Death Stranding is one of those PS games

@BlueBarren I mean, at least you can enter that info into your password vault next time you remember it

@Nzall no idea!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@ToxicFrog yeah I didn't have a password vault for a long time so it was an issue but I'm not making those mistakes anymore

there obviously a lot of (possibly infinite) patience involved in waiting for ports

game devs can still get additional money from console devs for "timed" exclusives

12:39 PM

@badp I find that waiting for emulators is often faster~

There aren't that many exclusives I care about, anyway. One of the big ones is Bloodborne, which has no port

@ToxicFrog for Nintendo things, definitely

One thing I wasn't clear on was "Xbox One Launch Exclusive" during the MS conference

I still don't think we have anything close to good enough for PS3 and 360

were they telling us it's a temporary exclusive or that it was launching with the Xbox One X?

12:40 PM

if at all

@Sterno I find it hard to believe that Bloodborne wouldn't have existed if it wasn't exclusive

Q: Terraria - Web Console

So browsing the internet; trying to resolve my problem! And I literally found NOTHING. So, I'm hosting a terraria server on gamehosting.co with a handy web console! Fact of the matter is, whenever I type in any sort of command; nothing happens. This isn't the case of my browser not loading, as wh...

but this might just be me being a steam fanboi

@badp I don't disagree, but have no idea really

@badp yet, but I'm still working through my backlog of PS2 games in PCSX2 sooooo

how about your XBox backlog?

12:41 PM

Don't have one

Or, say, Horizon Zero Dawn.

HZD looks pretty

PS4-wise, Horizon Zero Dawn and Bloodborne are both on my list, but my plan there is to wait until next time I visit my GF and/or she moves in and use her PS4 >.>

but I don't know if I actually care to play it

it's just another open world game

I could buy 50 of those on any platform I want, why do I need to specifically buy a PS4 for one of these open world game things?

And I'm finding open world games to be a slog

Apparently it's a really good open world game?

12:43 PM

You can apply that logic to almost any game type

Hmm true

probably why I don't have a PS4

I mean, I could buy 50 FPSes or strategy games or RPGs on any platform I want, but at least 49 of them would be garbage

I only care about the Last of Us

oh boy how I wish I could play the Last of Us

Journey seemed neat too

I loved Journey

but I played that on my brother's PS3

12:46 PM

If we're talking ps exclusives

it was a real Journey

Well last of us is on ps3 too

CC: @Wipqozn on that pun

@RedRiderX well my brother never bought that game so RIP me

Anybody have experience with Steam Link?

Trying to get volume normalized between apps and games

Some things are incredibly loud while others are really soft

Steam Big Picture Mode doesn't seem to have built in volume controls

Kevin van der Velden

I have used it before but never had to do that

Do you use the windows thing where you can set volume per program? It may not pick up on that correctly

12:51 PM

I really need to get off Reddit

Kevin van der Velden

Doesn't anyone who is on reddit need to get off reddit?

the confusion/uneducated things people are saying about Microsoft Exclusives and Xbox One X's name/generation are really hurting my brain

this is your reminder that perlsecret is a thing that exists

@KevinvanderVelden tru

@KevinvanderVelden I have found that some games don't react to the Windows sound settings.

Kevin van der Velden

12:53 PM

@badp why is perl a language that is used by actual people in actual environments again?

@Nzall steam link does all kinds of magic with audio though

@KevinvanderVelden this is the langauge that one dude in the Netherlands knew in 1995 or so when he founded his bookings.nl startup

in other words

I blame @KevinvanderVelden

Kevin van der Velden

@badp I will gladly accept the blame for a portion of bookings.nl =p

I mean when's the last time you thought about what happens when you combine unary summation with unary subtraction

In [4]: -+-True
Out[4]: 1

Kevin van der Velden

Btw I'm happy at work today, I have a mostly decent linux shell available \o/

\o/

Kevin van der Velden

12:58 PM

With mintty as terminal emulator which is pretty good

slightly less \o/

Kevin van der Velden

Got a better terminal emulator?

For windows =p

I guess mintty is the thing cygwin uses

and cygwin's terminal emulator is adequate

Kevin van der Velden

Yeah

No tabs but ctrl+tab switches between windows which is I actually prefer for this

I don't have that many terminals open that I need tabs, only 3 for my dualmonitor setup
