What do you mean by "give it the file directory"?
And when you say "does nothing", do you mean literally that (it just gives you the prompt back), or does it hang, black screen, print an error message...
?
@TheMattbat999 ^
 
@ToxicFrog it gives the same error. In DOSBox, to run a file you have to give the file directory to load a program.
 
I have no idea what you mean by "give the file directory". Type in the complete path to the executable?
Usually you mount the dosroot, cd into the directory you installed the game to, and run it from there by just typing the name of the program.
 
@ToxicFrog yes.
 
Try CDing into the directory it's in and running it from there?
if that doesn't work...post a link to the demo and I can give it a shot

Q: Where is Willow Blue's invitation?

Steven VascellaroSpoilers for Willow Blue's death below Usually when a character dies in The Sexy Brutale, their invitation can be picked up off their corpse. However, I haven't been able to find an invitation for the psychic Willow Blue. Willow Blue dies at 7:00 after she hangs herself off a bell. While there'...

 
someone: are you ok? me: yeah my mind: https://t.co/wzR9hUdXHZ

@ToxicFrog I think I recommended the Binti books to you - the last one comes out tomorrow so if you were holding off because I know how you feel about unfinisheded things, you don't have to anymore

Q: How do you aim better in TF2?

Low BudgetI can't aim pls help. I am a noob and I die easily so I need some advice. Thank you!

 
2:52 AM
@Lazers2.0 git gud
 
@Lazers2.0 use a mouse
@Dragonrage i wonder if there is repository called gud
 
user15026
@Yuuki oh no
 
user15026
like I see how they thought it should go
 
user15026
but oh no
 
3:05 AM
🤔
 
@Yuuki Should have used the Mario Party game
 
@Ash Quite sure no thinking was actually involved here
 
@PrivatePansy pretty sure the person who painted the top was from the U.K. or one of the other backwards countries and the person who painted the bottom was from the U.S.
@Memor-X more than likely
 
user15026
3:29 AM
@Yuuki What happened here is that they didn't take the curve into account
 
user15026
so they just repeated it assuming top to bottom
 
@Ash I think it's more, "This line goes up, this line goes down"
 
user15026
@Frank which is basically what I said, yhes
 
@Ash Oh. Derp. My bad.
 
user15026
NO worries :)
 
3:36 AM
Rargh, I'm bored, who wants to do stuff on Warframe?
 
@Yuuki yolo
 
Gonna do the alert real quick.
 
user15026
If I wasn't working through some brain spidery bits and thus need all my spoons for articulation, I'd be in
 
user15026
Silly brain being all can't think and talk at the same time
 
Today's project: mount the projector on the ceiling.
 
3:47 AM
@Frank is a projector any better for console gaming than a regular TV screen?
 
@Memor-X For the most part, it's going to be the same. The biggest difference is that the refresh rate is very slightly worse.
 
user15026
@Frank ooooh
 
I've contributed some resources towards an Energy lab item. In retrospect, I should be asking what our current focus is.
 
4:05 AM
I want buy all the blueprints available in my current clans dojo and then see if I can help you guys out for research
But that means I will have to farm a bunch of credits tomorrow or Wednesday
 
4:19 AM
Ugh
I cannot find the last Cephalon Fragment to get to Phobos
 
Someone should post that on math.se
 
4:33 AM
@Dragonrage an hour. this is because Greg was in the group of 60 and not the group of 120 and screw up in the middle by farting that they had to start again
or, Greg was in the bigger group and now that he isn't, it takes less time because he didn't fart in the middle of the piece
either way, the answer depends where Greg was
 
user15026
4:46 AM
Okay no more Archwing for @Ash
 
user15026
Because that was an unfun mix of claustrophobia and motion sickness
 
incase if you don't know who Kumamon is, let me remind you
> The prefectural government plans to use the royalty revenues to deal with piracy, and to produce an animated movie featuring the wide-eyed bear.
any bets on what the anime will be

Q: Purchased PlayStation Plus for wrong profile

SusanRI finally logged into PlayStation and got a year subscription to PlayStation Plus. Had to redo this as lost visa. However my son told me I linked it to his old login/profile name and not the correct one so he has to “start again” and has lost points/game awards etc. I don’t know the lingo but can...

Q: How to complete Lost Horatio Quest?

Daniel WilliamsI've taken the lost ship to my planet with +3 free population slots. But the population have not come onto the planet yet. I've put the ship in my hangar. What else should I do? Is it correct that there should be 3 new population added to the system?

8:01 AM
@SaintWacko Do some extermination mission and comb over literally every possible path. There is one on every map.
@Ash I'll gladly help you get through if we get to play at the same time. @John and I helped @GodEmperorDune through the archwing mission on Phobos.
@John was noticibly faster than I was, I still have the first crappy archwing, so I'm blaming that.
And @GodEmperorDune was left literally miles behind :p
@Frank Probably something close to EVERYTHING
 
can confirm, @Arperum is UNNATURALLY gifted at flying an archwing super fast and beating that rush mission
 
@GodEmperorDune It was not my worst try, not my best either though, since I died. Even though the post-game said I took no damage.
 
@SaintWacko also if you run public alerts and stuff, people will generally "tag" where the cephalon is if they come across it so you can get it that way
 
I also ran into walls a stupid amount of times.
 
8:40 AM
Morning
 
zanuka hunter found me but my team killed it and when i got there, no pigments
did get a scimitar avionics tho
 
@GodEmperorDune :(
Does killing the hunter clear the death mark?
 
No, having it spawn on you clears it
So it might have just been it spawning for someone else
 
nope i got thedude whining at me
 
Huh
It should have spawned near you then shrugs
 
8:48 AM
i kited it to my teammates >.>
we were running for extraction
it was like 2 rooms behind
 
So patch 7.3.5 releases tomorrow
 
what's that mean?
are they vaulting stuff?
 
it means that I can finally start leveling my alliance characters again
 
@GodEmperorDune different game
 
8:50 AM
oops
 
Ignore @Nzall, he isn't a cool space ninja
Also while vaulting is doen with a patch, patches are way more common then that
And not every major patch has things vaulted
 
@KevinvanderVelden I don't have to be a cool space ninja if I can be a badass master of the elements who slams you around using 2 massive hammers and can summon wolves on your ass
 
@KevinvanderVelden whew
 
I mean, unless rogues get the drop on me, they are usually dead pretty fast
 
(iirc you get a news message (to the right of your navigation in your orbiter) with plenty of notice when they start planning that)
 
8:52 AM
What is vaulting?
 
Warframe has "prime" weapons/warframes, which are shinier better things but harder to get. Vaulted items you can't get anymore
 
@Nzall in warframe, they periodically take some of the top tier loot and "put in the vault" so it doesn't drop anymore
so teh existing stuff suddenly gets a lot more valuable
 
btw, I played some more warframe the past weekend. Turns out that indeed, bows hit hard, but have very little ammo. Had to switch to my pistol sidearm halfway through
 
Plenty of mobs should drop bow ammo
 
it was like the second or 3rd mission, got no ammo at all
it was the one where you found that navigation segment
 
8:56 AM
@Nzall That's rather weird. Most missions turn into piles of all sorts of ammo all over the place.
 
Earlier missions have less dudes though
 
Only ammo you might run out is stuff that shoots a lot of bullets.
Hmmm, true.
 
might be because I wasted some ammo on opening cahces
 
@Nzall You can also switch to "cut them all up with your sword"
 
@Arperum long boss fights don't help much either
 
8:57 AM
yea, cut those open with your sword, costs nothing.
 
by the time this happened, I had the debuff that removed half my shield
and I ended up just running to the exit
ignoring everything
 
a debuff that removes half your shield?
 
yeah, this was REALLY at the start of the game
even before you kill that captain boss dude
 
running is slow :p bullet jump everywhere (crouch + jump)
 
like second or third mission, you have a symbiote in you that you need to get rid off
 
8:59 AM
oh right, that one thing. The fact that stuff from that mission is left in your inventory forever annoys me.
Especially since it's 100% useless after that mission.
 
@Nzall Killing boars in Elwynn Forest? :P
 
@Jutschge humans can't be shamans
 
@Nzall not with that attitude
 
@Jutschge no, really, they can't
 
They don't have the good drugs you know, damn war on drugs
 
9:10 AM
Nah there's been a meme shitpost on reddit about this guy speedrunning lvl 60 by killing boars in Elwynn and Westfall
Thath's why I'm asking^^
I'm not actually sure what I'm gonna do with 7.3.5 tbh. Probably grinding legendaries for my alts. I don't really want to re-level anything since I have everything on 110 except DK and Shaman
 
@Jutschge That's a reference to South Park for those who don't know. The Gang of Four starts playing WoW, there's a griefer who kills everyone, and they calculate that they need to kill something like 27000 boars in order to get their level high enough to beat the griefer (who somehow can also summon a scorpion army)
@Jutschge I already have everything at 110, including class campaigns, but not class mounts
but I really want the Double Agent achievement, and I'd say it's now or never
because otherwise I need to do another 10 levels extra
 
Hmm yeah. The one thing I'm kinda hyped about is: NO MORE OUTLAND WOOOHOOO
I really dislike leveling there
 
true, although I'm probably going to level partially through northrend and partially through Netherstorm and Shadowmoon, which I never saw at level
apart from that, I finally got my old main to level 110
like, after 2 server transfers and abandoning him for the entirety of Warlords
he started on kor'gall, was transfered to Kazzak, then to Executus
 
@Nzall that's one of my issues with BFA. I recently transitioned to playing healers (priest/pally) but every new expansion I always level my tauren hunter. IDK what to do :(
I've always mained him since BC and now I mostly play priest
 
 
1 hour later…
10:21 AM
Yea apparently half of my artifacts are vaulted.
I shall have to use them whenever the vault opens. Probably run a bunch of exterminate rifts if I can
 
You can always open the things you have, you just can't get new ones
 
@Dragonrage They'll stil work as expected. They just sell for way more, since existing artifacts and existing blueprints are the only way to get vaulted stuff while it is vaulted.
 
10:39 AM
@Arperum ah I see. Well if you want a bunch of vaulted stuff grab some artifacts you don't want and run rifts with me
 
@Dragonrage Not today. Currently at work and tonight I'm picking up my girlfriend halfway across the country.
 
The surprising bit there is that she's apparently already in belgium? Taking the train and meeting you halfway?
 
@KevinvanderVelden SHe's not. She is taking the train this way, but late enough on the evening that Belgian trains are not reliable enough to make sure she gets here today. Dutch trains ride until past midnight, In Belgium if you have a train past 23:00, you're going between a couple big cities. And having a connection to those is terrible, having to take a train that at some point ends up past 22:00 is risky.
Because more often than not you'll miss you connection and be screwed over for the night.
 
So I might possibly have some time before I have to go get her, but no guarantees at all.
 
10:53 AM
@Arperum I'm also at work. I'm off Tuesday and Wednesday nights though
Not sure what time that would be for you. Time zones are hard
 
Ave
oh god just woke upfrom a horrible dream
 
@Ave well i'm afraid you're still in the dream. WAKE UP!
seriously, want to talk about it?
 
Ave
god it was so scary
tldr it has to do with me feeling trapped in school
while dream really took it from a physical aspect, I feel trapped a lot in a psychological aspect too, with the school just never ending and difficulty of getting jobs and such
 
11:16 AM
@Dragonrage It's noon for me now.
 
11:31 AM
Een dag na de explosie is de ravage pas echt duidelijk te zien. #vrtnws #Paardenmarkt
So that's what's left over from the gas explosion
 
@Arperum it's 3:30 am here
 
And according to people living in the houses, there had been a gas odor the entire day, but noone wanted to call the police because, and I quote "The landlord didn't like having police in his house"
latest reports: at least 2 deaths
 
So you are 9 hours ahead of me. Not sure if our schedules are easily workable
 
BTW, I hope posting this here instead of TIF is not too big of an issue. This is just an accident so it's not too politically charged, I think
 
11:50 AM
@Ash You did, and I'd read them already because I didn't realize there was a third one in the works, so I'll definitely check that out
 
12:09 PM
@Nzall Nah, if it needs moing, people will tell you and it'll be moved.
@Dragonrage It'll match up at some point. Especially with my habit of being awake at the weirdest times. This week my girlfriend is at my place, so I'll be sleeping more normal hours :p
 
I just saw super Mario odyssey
I want to play it now
 
If i was the dev of P Platers i would be making a call to Channel Seven or Southern Cross Ten since i would be supprised if Sunrise or The Project would jump on the chance to piss over Nine News
also if i was Rockstar i would be looking at a Defamation Lawsuit against Nine since they are linking this game to GTA and to those attacks though this game

mpd rich presence
 
Are gaming companies really able to ban accounts legally? Is there anything I can do? (self.legaladvice)
 
@Unionhawk wat.yes, yes they are allowed to ben your account. You even agreed to it when you made the bloody account.
 
2:14 PM
OP got banned for getting money from a gold seller.
 
@Arperum wait do I actually have to read the TOS? /s
 
@Unionhawk facedesks
 
Protect gamers rights
 
@Jutschge Nope, you have to know it letter for letter. just reading it is not enough.
@Unionhawk I don't know if this is sarcastic or not.
 
GAMERS ARE THE MOST OPPRESSED GROUP IN THE HISTORY OF FOREVER

2:17 PM
Ok, I picked that up. thanks for answering my question.
 
@Jutschge nearly every TOS agreement for a videogame is mostly acceptable though. I can't really think of any agreements (beyond that steam game that had the illegal "no refunds" clause) that had really bad "don't do this" clauses
 
@Nzall Your sarcasm meter missed a thing there.
 
@Arperum you forgot the /s we're on the interwebs here!
 
@Arperum sorry, was aimed at the wrong person
 
There, now it points to the correct message again :p
 
2:21 PM
@Nzall I mean 99% of the time it's the same thing afaik. Blablah don't cheat, blablah you don't own the account etc etc
 
The enforcement of terms of service is a violation of my civil rights
 
@Unionhawk Your face is a violation of my human rights.
 
Ave
@Unionhawk what do you mean that I can't cheat on this game I paid 60$ for to explode other users over and over?
 
@Jutschge yeah, as I said, there are very few terms of service agreements that have really egregious claims.
 
@Nzall Btw yesterday you posted a quality mass-grip. Lemme show you ours :D
Our dk tank just learned that he can't massgrip as an alternative if his single target grip is on CD lol
 
2:35 PM
@Jutschge Not with that attitude, he can't.
 
@Yuuki you never can
at least, not on that boss
I'm curious though: if a warrior spell reflects mass grip cast on him, what happens?
 
@Jutschge Not my fault none of you have AMS.
 
@Yuuki AMS is capped at 150% HP
 
@Nzall I should science that
 
2:41 PM
@Nzall personally I consider both "fair use doesn't apply" and "no reverse engineering" to be pretty egregious even if they aren't actually illegal, and those are really common clauses in EULAs
 
there is no way whatsoever you are going to survive a mass grip of 6-8 adds at the same time with the entire raid. Not even if your entire healing clump is disc priests and you have only havoc demon hunters as DPS.
 
Not that anyone actually pays attention to them
 
@ToxicFrog fair use, certainly. then again, the entire concept of copyright is so thoroughly fucked the only way to unfuck it is by killing the entire legal concept with fire and building a new concept on the ashes
 
@Nzall 4 is the most you can survive on mythic afaik. But it takes a ton of DR CDs. We play it with 2 at the same time but even then our pally and I are above 2m hps to get the raid topped
 
@Nzall true
(although I actually think a lot of the problems would be, if not solved, at least mitigated, if the copyright term were made, say, 8-16 years, rather than perpetual)
 
3:16 PM
So my windshield was frozen over today.

Q: Unable to complete Power Play objective

Amanda LloydHi im on Level 11 and the objective is to FILL POWER METER 10X IN ONE RUN. Although the power meter is full i am unable to activate it even after double tapping on the screen. I have tried this with all the characters but in vain.The power up i have chosen is Boost. Can you please let me know if...

 
@Ronan There we go. I couldn't think of a good one
 
Coming up with self-important achievement names is an artform

Ooh, now I want to find an achievement called Basic Incompetence
 
@Ronan those "trivial" achievements are usually telemetry for the developers, AIUI
 
3:30 PM
@ToxicFrog Are you screaming about something?
 
@ToxicFrog It's not the existence of the achievement I'm making fun of, it's the name
 
Lets them easily answer questions like "of the people who bought this game, how many started it, how many made it through character creation/the first chapter/the first playthrough/the secret bonus level, how many got multiple endings", etc.
@SaintWacko ...I don't think so? Why?
 
@ToxicFrog AIUI!
 
@Ronan oh, fair
 
I mean, it's an odd scream, but...

Oh My God, this report on microtransactions and the bullshittery that's going on with them is just one shitfest admission after another
Shocking. Video game companies are using hacked data dumps, including the Patreon leak, to collect information on users to increase in-game revenue. https://imgur.com/a/rhFuj
especially look at the right image
> For example, if all the free-to-use items were blue and pay-to-acquire items were red, when the player is tired it will swap them around to trick a player into making a purchase by accident
That's not manipulation anymore, that's asshole design
 
@Nzall companies want money. nothing new. People are assholes. Also nothing new tbh
 
Something something players into payers
 
I mean the whole point of marketing is tricking you into buying stuff. Nothing wrong with that.
 
@Jutschge yeah, but doing something as dirty as swapping free and paid item colors when people rely on those colors more than anything?
At that point you're just begging to be uninstalled
and to get a negative review
 
@Nzall that's a risk most people are willing to take for money.
 
3:45 PM
and maybe even reported to the local variety of the Better Business Bureau
 
also most MTX I know are somewhat protected so you can't just "accidentally" buy something
What company is this from? Seems pretty weird that some random dude on twitter gets his hands on secret papers
 
Holy fuck I hate my local symphonies online ordering
well not the local symphony, it's the university
 
@Wipqozn #firstworldproblems
 
anyways, the university has an online ordering platform because of course
 
That is pretty much the first-worldest of problems right there
 
3:51 PM
but they charge a $10 "online handling fee". Like wtf is that. And it's not just a flat rate, it's "you you're buying for 6 concerts? That's $60 in online handling fees"
@SaintWacko It really is
 
@Wipqozn Service fees are so annoyingly stupid
 
@Wipqozn Paying them to handle you makes sense
 
@TimStone but I'm paying them to not handle me! They don't even need to see me!
An in person Wipqozn-fee I could get, but an internet one?
 
Hmm, true. They should be paying you for the convenience
HOW THE TABLES HAVE TURNED

Q: What should I do to get complete HD/32 bit graphics for OpenTTD?

VivWhat should I do to get complete HD/32 bit graphics for OpenTTD? i.e. For Trains, Buses, Ships, Airplanes, Building etc... Are they even available? A list of mods listing them would prove very useful.

 
They should pay for @Wipqozn to come so that way if any goes wrong, they can blame it on him
 
@Nzall Also if this is real this guy's going to get into some serious legal trouble. Being a dick in marketing is perfectly legal. Sharing confidential documents is not.
