@badp You can lower the fps in the settings.
nah, this is happening on upgrade purchase
FOX NEWS EXCLUSIVE: President Trump 'seriously considering' a pardon for ex-Sheriff Joe Arpaio http://fxn.ws/2w4LtM5
did we talk about this?
isn't that the guy who made tents etc on jails
oh yup
also the pink underwear guy.
jesus
@PrivatePansy nice
Ugh, so apparently Winx Club on Netflix does not have English VOs in Belgium
But they do have French and Italian for some reason
Winx is made in Italy iirc
Really? didn't know that
That explains why it defaulted to Italian
14:12
SUBS OR DUBS
I mean you're in Belgium. Some French can't hurt.
Huh. I didn't remember this 23 minute show having an intro cinematic of 90 seconds
isn't 90 seconds the standard
no, I'm not talking about the cold open, I'm talking about the intro credits
@badp No. Most western animation have 30 seconds or less of intro. 90 seconds is standard for anime.
ughhhhhhhhhh my brain
14:16
Okay, Winx is out
Like, I have no idea what I want to watch right now
any recommendations?
I mean, for a standard 22 minute episode, having 90 seconds of OP and 90 seconds of ED means you cut 3 minutes off your running time
@Nzall The second half of Little Witch Academia just came out on Netflix
@PrivatePansy And which of the 3 versions should I start with? the one from 2013, the one from 2015 or the one from 2017?

Q: Connecting to a Minecraft Server that is used for Hamachi networking but is local to me?

GipsyDIf I create and install the Minecraft Server Jar on an older desktop computer, that will act as a "dedicated" Server PC, and port the Server to be used by my friends via the Hamachi VPN, would I still be able to connect to said Server, that is located on my local network, even though the Hamachi ...

@Nzall The one from 2013 is an original short animation, and the 2015 is a sequel to that. The 2017 series is a, uh, reboot? of the original, with the same cast but starting from the very beginning
You can start with either
@PrivatePansy okay, so it is a standard :P
14:21
your face is a standard
The original short animation was part of a project to train new animators for Studio Trigger. It got unexpectedly popular.
@Unionhawk it is fairly regular
@PrivatePansy nice!
I should watch that
@badp french always hurts
Okay, I'll start with the short then.

Q: Galactic Command bonus for Star Fortresses

Mark CassidyI'm trying to find information on the Galactic Command 20% daily CXP bonus based on activity. Simply put; will doing Star Fortresses while Calactic Command has "Flashpoints" as the daily bonus, give me 20% increased CXP? Or are Star Fortresses considered either as Planetary Missions or somethin...

14:47
Ugh, whoever cut the LWA promo clip for Netflix did a terrible job
It has the OP playing behind the characters talking, but mixed such that it's hard to hear either, and more often than not it sounds like characters talking over each other
Okay, so I watched the short. liked the show, hated the japanese voices. They always sound so overly excited
like, that's the case with any original japanese voice acting I hear. compared to western animation, they're always so shrieky and hyper
man I hope the compiler simplifies this thing
if(thing){
    //stuff
}

if(thing==true){
    //more stuff
}
If it can guarantee that thing isn't changed, possibly?
15:03
it probably technically cannot
It basically has to be a primitive/struct declared locally (assuming C#)
Actually it looks like it can
there's 7 separate if statements on thing here and only a couple of them have code in between
y
Not only that, but the inside of the if is important, as well as any functions called
so I preloaded this game yesterday. Now, it still needs to do like 15 minutes of unpacking itself
But regardless, it's probably not noticeable performance wise in any way
15:06
definitely not
so compiler optimizations don't actually matter
the code looks wat no matter what the compiler does

Q: My server's console keeps getting spammed

HeyItzAxelI am hosting a server at the moment and console keeps getting spammed while I try to read it. It keeps spamming stuff like this: https://pastebin.com/9W0V20XF Which plugin causes this, or how can I fix it?

Q: What do the blue rings do?

VemonusWhile dashing through the Chemical Plant, I picked up some item (I don't recall what it was) that turned my rings blue (in the corner). It didn't seem to make any sort of difference when I got hit and dropped them all, so what do the blue rings signify?

Q: Mass Effect Andromeda: tiller quest elite destroyer invincible?

reedvoidI'm playing Mass Effect Andromeda, on planet H-047c, doing the quest called "The Remnant Tiller". In the final room with the elite destroyer, what I can do is snipe him from afar and kill both of his turrets, no problem. But after that the guy is completely invincible, as shooting / tech power ...

Okay, time to start playing Agents of Mayhem

Q: Do the 14 people of "Let Sleeping Mountains Lie" help in any way?

Fredy31Follow up to : Who are the people who help with "Let Sleeping Mountains Lie"? They show you that you could have up to 14 people "helping" you on this quest (as far as I know, it's just talking to you in the diner where you start the quest). I personally had 12, and now have to go against a leve...

Q: If you never save a Prompto photo, what happens at the end?

Fredy31Just before the end boss, Noctis wants to select a photo from Prompto, to take with him. So you have, as choices, all photos that you made Prompto save during the trip. But, if you never saved a photo, or deleted all saved photos before that point, what are your choices?

Q: Are some ennemies immune to the Ring of Lucis?

Fredy31When you get the ring of Lucis, and is forced to use it in Chapter 13, you realise that the ring is pretty OP (the AOE that takes some time to come out, Triangle on Playstation, 1 shots a lot of stuff) But sometimes the ring seems to not affect some monsters. Is there a miss rate, or are some e...

15:54
So apparently the new F150 has an all around camera system that creates a top down view out of damn euro truck simulator
Damn it @Unionhawk, this isn't the mod chat

Q: What's the name of the genre (or mechanic) of games where choices cannot be unwritten?

PiomicronI'm talking about a game that changes based on your actions, and I'm wondering what it's called when there's a choice you absolutely cannot take back, without hacking the game, or something similar. Undertale only really has one of these, Risk Legacy is a board game version of this genre/mechani...

I HAS A SPITTOON HAT

It's dripping

Q: Need Help with minecraft Permissions

MinecrafterI've been trying to make permissions for my server but it just doesn't work. With EssentialsEX need the node also Thanks!

So from what I can tell, AoM is essentially a singleplayer hotswap game where you are encouraged to frequently swap between characters, either to regen health and shields or to combo skills together
to the point that you can instantly swap to any of your characters by using the mouse wheel
it's fun so far
@Nzall Age of Mythology is my only guess, and that sounds wrong.
@Beedrill Agents of Mayhem
Spiritual successor to Saint's Row
Oh, ok.
16:52
@Lazers2.0 I'm kind of surprised this question is getting so many close votes. I'm not really sure what makes it different from other "What kind of game would you call this?" questions
@murgatroid99 I think it has something to do with asking for the name of a thing which definitely has a name but you've forgotten (the good questions of this type), and asking for the name of a thing which almost certainly does not have a specific name (this question).
This question just feels bad, probably because of that property of it.
Anyway, the votes are for "opinion based" which makes no sense to me.
@Beedrill Really? Because I would think that questions like this one fit into the latter category, but it met relatively positive reactions
Oh ew.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
grats on making shrug work the first time, not many can do that
I don't like either question. I also haven't voted on either, though.
It's one extra backslash...
16:56
IT'S CONFUSING
I prefer questions that ask "What does this word mean?" over "What is the word for this concept?"
The latter could all be purged and I don't think the site would be any worse.
@murgatroid99 yeah i downvoted but it didn't seem to fit the close reasons
They're kind of like ITG questions, in a way.
Identify this concept.
@Unionhawk sunglasses
17:00
I kind of wonder if the people who voted to close that question are unfamiliar with those games, and don't understand the specific concept it's asking about

Q: Can someone help me with a townhall 8 trophy army

David ManciniI need a th 8 trophy army to get me to crystal league no lvl 4 hogs, Can someone please tell me what has worked for them

@murgatroid99 this is more intense than an instant save system so you can't save scum, right?
I am only familiar with the concept as far as undertale goes, in which case yes
undertale is a bit more intense, if i understand it
In undertale, the game remembers that you completed the genocide ending once ever across true resets
17:04
i haven't heard of many games that have the persistence across new save files or true resets
Neither have I
OneShot is a little different: you can't restart the game at all unless you find your save file in the file system and delete it
but i support @Beedrill's idea of getting rid of
is OP looking for ironman mode?
Ironman typically also means one life though
17:06
as far as I understand
@GodEmperorDune I think it's kind of the other way around. It's not that you start over from a clean slate when you die, but rather that there's no possibility in game to start over from a completely clean slate
It kind of has varied meanings across games
@murgatroid99 oh like that MMO with permadeath where you have to buy a new copy if you want a new character
xcom ironman just overwrites saves every turn
i think that never got off the ground
17:07
whereas some other games delete your file on death
@GodEmperorDune That might fit
@murgatroid99 So this is similar to the undertale concept then
@Unionhawk I mean, that's the example they used in the question
I think this is just a concept that lacks one specific word because it isn't used in many games
Remembering choices within a save file is one thing
but like, you can restart xcom ironman
because most players aren't into dickstabbing
17:13
It makes more sense in story-based games, where it's more about the permanent consequences of your choices than permanently failing some challenge
Right
@murgatroid99 so like if you have to choose between X dying and Y dying and then whoever you pick to die isn't available the rest of the game?
@GodEmperorDune no, it's like if you have to choose between X dying and Y dying whoever you pick to die isn't available *even if you restart the game
I think more in vs the comparison to xcom ironman
xcom ironman is less about story choices and more about tactical choices

Q: Is there a way to bet more than 9999 medals?

Fredy31In the coliseum, you can bet on monster fights. With the results of your bets, you can get an engine that does not consume gas (giving infinite gas) Thing is, that engine is 3.7 million medals (from memory, can't see the exact number), so even if you bet and win the max amount every time, it's ...

17:16
I really think Undertale is the best example here. If you make one certain set of choices in the game, then another path through the story is locked forever, even if you restart the game from the beginning
@ToxicFrog so you either have a choice that isn't meaningful (because it's not important who lives and who dies) or a choice that cuts off a large portion of the game content and you can never access it without uninstall/reinstall
I mean
Undertale's doesn't cut off game content
It just alters every ending
except genocide I guess

did you find the time machine yet?

Not yet

@KevinvanderVelden I hope I get time tonight to play. This weekend was so busy, I never got time :P
Adventures in @Unionhawk Programming is my favourite daytime drama
I found the rain machine

@Unionhawk wat
@badp It constructs various camera angles together to show you about what top down looks like
@Unionhawk I think I've seen that in action before and it doesn't really work all that well
also the Euro Truck Simulator thing isn't quite like that
18:14
I mean, sure, it's a magic top down from a floating camera
and there are other views

Q: In what ways are the individual Persona games connected?

Allball103I have only played Persona 5, and it has encouraged me to pick up the other games in the series. I know that they're all stand-alone, but I'm curious: In what ways are the games related? Are they comparable to the Final Fantasy games, where only things like enemy and spell names are connected, ...

@Unionhawk that's what I thought we had
I mean not yet
Latiku technology is still in development
...but
srs
TIL some linq expressions work by reference only
(that is:)
var thing = list.Select(o=>o.otherthing).Distinct()
foreach(var wharrgarbl in thing) //explodes if list is modified
(adding a .tolist on the first line makes it a copy)

Poutine assimilated.
I've never had real poutine but I've had similar things and they've been delicious.

Q: Cannot save ingame in Pokemon Diamond

SomeoneI've started playing Pokemon Diamond on the DeSmuME Emulator for Nintendo DS(desmume-0.9.11-win32<-This is the version I'm Using). For some reason, when I try to save ingame I cannot save and it shows me what you can see in the image. I tried saving through the emulator itself as a save state and...

Poutine looks like heresy. I want to eat it to see if it also tastes like heresy.
What looks wrong about it?
WHAT HAVE THOSE FRIES EVER DONE WRONG TO YOU.
18:48
@Beedrill It's Canadian food. It should look like it's apologising for making you fat. Instead, it looks like it wants to make you fat
food can't apologize
fools
Okay, time to strip I guess
In world of warcraft, I mean
That doesn't make things sound better.
@Arperum I can't think of any food that's wronged me, but I still eat them.
People have told me what happens in Goldshire...
18:50
they've added a small event around collecting pamplets
has to do with Argus and the Burning Legion invasion
normally you have a 10 minute hidden debuff that prevents you from spamming these pamphlets, but dying removes it
@Beedrill I think belgium is more religious about french fries than NA
and if you don't wear any gear with durability on, you need to pay less for dying
no repair costs, I mean
@Yuuki how was it?
@GodEmperorDune I'm personally not a fan of cheese curds, mainly due to the presence of cheese. But the rest of it was good.
@Nzall yay for unintended consequences
18:52
Cheese is so good.
@Beedrill Lactose not so much.
Cheese is supposedly ok for lactose intolerant people because of processing something or other. I'm not lactose intolerant though so shrug
@Unionhawk Yes.
So is anyone else getting cert errors for Reddit?
user15026
@Beedrill Some cheese, not all cheese. It depends on how it was aged/processed.
18:54
@Ash Ok.
@Beedrill You got me playing swarm simulator all afternoon...
I saw a video the other day about why specific areas of the world evolved lactose tolerance and other areas didn't.
I think it was on kurzgesagt. Good channel.
user15026
@Beedrill Oooh, that sounds interesting.
@Ash a good rule of thumb i follow is the higher quality the cheese, the less it gives me issues
oh, this is fun, I forgot that if you died too often, you had to wait to resurrect at your coprpse
18:56
but that's probably a proxy for the length of time the cheese ages
user15026
@GodEmperorDune I forget all the science. I will have to ask my cheese making friends.
@Ash bacteria that do the aging eat the lactose
more time to age = more lactose eaten
i've heard a similar thing with sourdough breads
like you can allegedly let a dough rise for like 1 or 2 months and it won't trigger gluten allergies or something like that
oh hey, discord video chat and screensharing is out for another 5% of users, nitro, and partners
Flat Earth Facebook update: they have discovered the concept of time zones. https://t.co/lpPneC8j2s

don't worry about the korean threat, flat earthers are on the case

same anymore

Q: Have I failed Eileen the Crow's questline?

SardathrionI believe I missed her just outside of Oedon Chapel. After visiting the Hunter's Dream, she is not found there. Have I messed up her questline? I did speak to her in the sewers and I can still access the Oedon Tomb lamp.

user15026
And the complete disregard for logic just makes my brain squish
@Ash protip the turtles cough @Wipqozn cough cough are in on it
@badp So you're the mom of the person managing the @discordapp twitter account?
We've rolled out video chat and screen sharing to another 5% of players, anyone with Nitro, our partners, and my mom, cuz I do what I want
"anyone with Nitro"
is nitro the paid tier?
19:18
ye
@GodEmperorDune pls no
I had it before it was released :thinking:
(I believe I even posted an image here)
@Avery clearly you are discord's mom
data accepted
makes sense
I thought it was mallory though
19:28
I'm honestly wondering if any of the Overwatch characters are trans
I don't recall any canon on that
none established
@Nzall i've heard rumors on twitter but nothing official
or implied afaik
i mean it can be implied
19:30
your face is implied
ugh not wording properly today and i don't know how to dig into this without probably accidentally offending, so i won't try it
@fredley yet another example of @Wipqozn in west of loathing
@Nzall nothing in canon but then again tracer wasn't canon for months
Yay another spittoon
19:35
There was a good tweet or thread about how one character in mass effect andromeda was total nonsense, because one of her intro conversations is literally her deadnaming herself, and that's not a thing that any real person does
There is some speculation that Zarya is trans
@Nzall Of course there is, people see what they want to see
@Unionhawk I haven't finished ME:A yet. When do you encounter her?
iunno
@Unionhawk yeah i saw that thread
user15026
19:36
@Unionhawk Oh gosh yes that was kinda a trainwreck of lame
@GodEmperorDune Can you link it?
@Avery it was months ago, i have no idea anymore
user15026
One of many tweets on the issue:
polygon.com/2017/4/5/15195416/… is what I found about it
19:38
maybe a week or two after ME:A launch in an example of how the writing was shallow and trying to be deep
user15026
Apparently they apologized and said they would make changes
@Ash i haven't kept up with patches so no idea if they actually did
Thank you everyone who gave quotes for the final UNDERTALE trailer I just retweeted. They're all real. Including… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/897508003917819904
user15026
@GodEmperorDune Not sure, but I'd hope so
@badp I want to believe that drunk me could do tpe in less than 50 hours
he'd probably get owned on asgore, give up, and settle for neutral (only asgore killed) though
19:45
apparently there are a few extra lines
wonder if they'll make it back to Windows
inb4 there's extra FUN
inb4 more threads proving herobrine exists in undertale or whatever
:papyrus:
I should install that game again
user15026
I wanted to love Undertale so much more than I did.
19:49
wait
I just realized that I forgot to put the whole papyrus quote
@Ash a little love is good too.
agh, too late to edit this in
user15026
Yeah, I love it a little but not enough to really stick with it
user15026
@GodEmperorDune that was amazing. I needed that.
19:54
@Ash there are other threads linked towards the bottom that are also good
user15026
@GodEmperorDune yay!
