Q: Is the guaranteed four star always the last hero drawn?

Michael McQuadeWhen you're guaranteed a 4★ Ultra Rare unit from a Gacha, will it always be the last awarded?

Q: What do the colors of the light shining from the Gacha door mean?

Michael McQuadeWhen you roll there is a silver, gold, or rainbow light that comes out from the Gacha door... What exactly does this light mean? I have received Ultra Rare 4★ units when I had a gold door with no guaranteed unit and I have also gotten a gold door when I was guaranteed a 4★ unit.

Q: How much damage do multiple projectile bows do?

BenEach bow has a certain amount of Damage. For example, the Knight bow deals a solid 25 damage with each shot. However, after obtaining the Lynel Bow, I was surprised to see that it only dealt 10 damage per shot. The only difference, was that it fires 3 arrows at once. So does this mean that each ...

BenThroughout the LoZ Series, Ganondorf's and Zelda's horses make multiple appearances. Likely the most evident is in Ocarina of Time. In breath of the Wild, the horses can be found, tamed, and even named. From doing some research, these horses do not appear to actually have names, that I have bee...

Q: Host server through VPN

Zippy BlueIs it possible and if so how would I to host a game server, let's say on port 25565, through an OpenVPN server hosted on my private VPS so it uses that VPS' IP and not my own. Thanks.

 
Ave
3:17 AM
@Lazers2.0 this is actually possible
but not the best idea due to ping
 
3:39 AM
i feel *extremely* seen
 
Ave
I used a debugger for the first time in years today
 
Who here is playing FFXV (Royal or Windows Editions)?
 
Ave
well, it was strace but still
 
Because I noticed an oddity with the day-night cycle using the Royal Vessel to go from Altissia to Lucis and back.
 
Ave
Now I have to install archlinux on a VM so I can test if I got the dependencies right on this pkgbuild
 
3:48 AM
At Chapter 9, while in Altissia, the day runs from 9 AM to 6 PM. If you use Umbra to return to Lucis, you get a full day unaffected by the Starscourge (6 AM to 8 PM), which AFAICT is by design.
 
i was gonna write a joke about booping snoots but tbh I feel like that humor can be a little on-the-nose
cc @ash @Yuuki @Wipqozn
 
However, if I use the Royal Vessel to travel from Altissia to either port in Lucis, I then get a full day, which oddly enough persists if I return to Altissia. I have to use Umbra to go back and forth to restore correct day-night cycle behavior.
I understand how the game is trying to maintain consistency between using the Royal Vessel and using Umbra to return to Lucis, but this strikes me as a possible bug.
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune hahaha aww yes <3
 
Hmm... the issue may have to do with fast traveling using the Royal Vessel and then returning.
I'm honestly very confused at this point.
Yeah. The full day (party wakes up at 6 AM, rather than 9 AM) is persisting until I use Umbra.

Q: How to unlock Lucina on 3DS after failing to beat her the first time?

AerovistaeSupposedly you can get Lucina by playing 40 matches-- I did, and I got a chance, and I lost to her. In old versions of the game, it would keep giving you more chances to beat the newly unlockable character after each successive match (the 41st, the 42nd, etc)....but I'm at like 80 matches now and...

1:44 PM
Have any of you managed to beat the Retribution mode in Overwatch on legendary difficulty yet?
Apparently there are rewards if you do, but not in the all-heroes variant. Has to be the pre-built team
 
I've only done one round of normal
 
I've beaten it loads of times on normal, and a few on Expert
Expert can go really bad really fast around the part where you get your first heavy
But I like all-heroes cause I'm not super good at any of the prebuilt heroes
Orisa is bomb as fuck in it too
 
I like prebuilt because idk what would be good in these sorts of things
so I just end up staring at hero select until afk disconnect
 
orisa can buff to stop the heavy charge, suck ball can be used against sniper and to get the assassin off people
but the prebuilt team is obviously pretty carefully crafted. everyone has a job. I just end up playing Reaper cause I'm shit with the rest though
I've been playing Orisa in almost every game lately. QP, comp, arcade
 
> - Fixed being able to capture control points during setup time
> - Fixed the Medic's auto-call feature not including enemy Spies disguised as the Medic's team
aww those were my two favourite bugs
 
1:52 PM
It's neat that that game is still being supported
 
@Unionhawk orisa + bastion. orisa + bastion all the time
orisa headshots and shields, bastion tears through things. someone to keep people alive and maybe someone to deal with snipers and assassins.
 
I guess it's also harder to gauge because normal is super easy
like, really super easy
 
yeah I went lone wolf as reaper and had no issues at all
 
I have no idea how genji died twice
 
Expert is where it actually gets challenging. It's a lot of fun
 
1:53 PM
I solo ulted snipers twice as mccree
 
lol
 
and like, got away with that being good enough
 
@badp Orisa can pull dudes off boats into the water too
the main strat for legendary seems to be saving ults for groups, never using them on specials
and lots of kiting
 
Yeah it's harder to use on specials without nano boost
 
@GnomeSlice that pull thing is so hard to do
 
1:54 PM
@Unionhawk and not worth it
@badp Maybe I just have a lot of practice with her. But yeah if they're moving in on the boats you're right
Also the heavy can't be sucked or knocked back
Also, Brigitte is surprisingly terrible at the mode
ohhh I didn't realize that evading the assassins charge with one of the mobility skills leaves her stunned
That explains why that happened a few times
Wraith / Fade / Swift Strike

Took a sick day yesterday, went to the doctor. I have a sinus infection that's got me feeling like hot garbage. Went to work today. Mistakes were made.
 
Apparently Twitter is having issues
 
By "took a sick day yesterday," I mean I left half an hour early to go to the doctor. Because that's the best I could manage due to us being unusually busy this time of year.
 
I mean, if your performance is nonexistant because you are really sick, you might as well stay home.
And if you think your company can't handle that, look at it this way: what if you got hit by a bus on the way home last night? same result for the company
And twitter appears to be up again
Also, apparently North Korea and South Korea are about to declare peace

Q: Why don't Handsome Jack turn off the New-U?

SlayerDiAngeloPlaying Borderlands 2, it's just amazing to see how bad Handsome Jack wants the Vault Hunter dead. I've not completed the game yet, but the most confusing thing which hit me while playing Borderlands is the New-U (the hyperion tech which revives the Vault Hunter). If Handsome Jack wants the Vaul...

 
4:48 PM
@Lazers2.0 Technically because the New-U stations aren't canon and thus don't actually exist despite literally being in the game, which is appropriately Borderlands silly
 
Only existing in service of gameplay is a fair workaround
 
i should finish borderlands 2 sometime
 
I should restart it
eventually
 
and i should probably play the presequel
 
@Unionhawk Yeah, though they're referenced outside of just existing despite not existing in the story so #yolo
 
4:52 PM
@Dragonrage If you liked Borderlands 2 well enough, it's basically more of that game
with some gravity stuff
 
I forget if the fact that they weren't canon came before or after Borderlands 2, retconning this would probably make the most sense of the incongruities
 
that's easier for me the claptrap player to simplify because I didn't have to breathe but
 
i liked it, i just think its more fun to play with others, so i never finished it as the friend i was playing with stopped playing
 
oh there are also lasers
 
Meatbags and their oxygen shakes head
 
4:53 PM
Fun other claptrap property: he takes way more damage in the green phase of the raid boss than anyone else
because the devs thought of that and gave him weak to corrosive
and I assume strong vs fire

@Lazers2.0 I hate questions like this.
 
6:06 PM
One of my questions was edited to remove a screenshot of the map location I was asking about. Should I re-add the image as a text hyperlink? Or was the image unnecessary?
 
@StevenVascellaro Just roll back, the image isn't hurting anything and it's your post.
If anything, it clarifies exactly what door you're talking about.
 
I'll re-edit it in as a smaller image. Thanks
 
I think you can do that with imgur even
 
You can use m, yeah. It compresses the image pretty badly though
The trick is to use the smaller version as the thumbnail, but clicking the image goes to the original
 
yep

@Lazers2.0 I mean, the question is a fair one, right? Lore questions are on-topic.
or is that too much developer intent?
 
@Nzall You could interpret it two ways.
Either "using only canon references, why did this character act this way?"
Which is on topic but infuriatingly shitty
Or "Why did the developers design it this way"
Which is clearly off topic
 
Based on what was said in here it also seems a serious case of "poke the plothole"
 
The worst type of lore question.
 
6:15 PM
@StrixVaria do we have a rule that we can only use canon references to answer lore questions? I'm fairly sure none of the other entertainment stacks have that rule
 
@Nzall I thought we did.
 
@Nzall I actually remember developer response to this. Let me see if I can find it
 
It's kind of hard to keep track of the minutiae of rules regarding a topic I would ban wholesale personally.

> It has been more than 28 days since we've seen your computer connect to Backblaze.
 
It's old and references close reasons that don't exist anymore, but I still like the idea that it's canon or nothing.
 
Yes, thank-you, I know
 
@Nzall Open-ended lore questions are fairly commonplace on sites like SciFi & Fantasy or Movies & TV
 
@StevenVascellaro We had a cultural war of sorts with them in our early days.
We were very strict and they were very open.
And there was enough crossover between the two that it was a jarring difference.
Now it's cooled down and we've become a little lax but still way stricter than they are.

Lore-based gaming questions seem to be well received on SciFi
 
I'm all for it TBH, I don't like Lore questions on Arqade at all.
 
What about adding a migration path to the close reasons?
 
I think the issue comes from the fact that not all video games are in a Fantasy/SciFi setting.
 
6:22 PM
True. But I think there's enough of a crossover where migrating questions like the New-U station could work
(After discussing it with the SciFi community of course)
 
I can't see what a normal user's close menu looks like, but for me I can search for the site that it would belong on to migrate it.
 
There isn't enough crossover in general to make SciFi a promoted migration path
 
@StrixVaria normal users get meta
and that's it I think
 
@Unionhawk Oh ew.
 
I think paths can be opened
 
6:23 PM
Sure, some lore questions might belong there, but that's already a small fraction of our questions
 
@murgatroid99 It can't be worse than the current migration options
 
user15026
We can technically get a path opened but I don't think we'd use it enough (correctly) for it to be worth it
 
@StevenVascellaro Adding migration paths for regular users to use is not necessarily an improvement
 
These questions are rare enough that it's probably fine to just mod flag ones that should be migrated, and we can add a path if there are so many mod flags that they start bothering us.
 
If we would expect people to misuse it more often than use it properly, it would be worse
 
6:25 PM
True.
 
The current issue is that lore-based questions don't have any defined guidelines

Seems like video game lore questions are pretty conclusively on-topic for SciFi
 
Honestly, if SciFi wants our junk, they're welcome to it, I say.
 
@Frank As an active member of SciFi, I say one site's trash is another's treasure.
 
As long as it doesn't create more work for our mods, anyways.
If they have to make a determination about the standards, then just delete instead.
 
Huh. The question is even stickied in the FAQ
Oh wait, that question is a dupe

@Nzall You say you have a dev source. That you can't produce.
 
@StrixVaria I dunno if you're still in the MHW room, but there's a new monster coming tomorrow. 16-player raid battle.
 
@Fluttershy Another new one after Deviljho?

Unlike Far Cry 5...
 
6:33 PM
> Regarding the New-U thing: that's my fault, but not for the reasons you'd expect. I sincerely believe that if I hadn't added any dialog to the New-U stations (the snarky lines from the Hyperion female voice), then the New-U's wouldn't have felt like an in-world technology -- they would have felt like a meta aspect of the game.
 
I haven't had much time for gaming in general recently with the NHL playoffs ongoing, though.
 
@StrixVaria Ooh, yeah... Probably don't wanna play that one around the kiddos.
 
Last I checked, needing a dev answer means the question is off-topic, regardless.
 
Regardless of whether it's on topic, it's still a duplicate
 
@Fluttershy Also God of War comes out Friday and that doesn't look like a game to be missed.
But someday! I will get back to farming Odogaron for his stupid gem.
And then Vaal Hazak will die.
 
6:35 PM
dev knowledge and dev intent are not necessarily the same
sometimes they are
 
@StrixVaria That's what I was thinking as well. I was 100% in favor of skipping it because I couldn't stand Kratos as a character. But literally everything I'm hearing about this one has convinced me to play it.
 
not always
 
@Fluttershy I wasn't interested at all until a few different YouTube channels I follow mentioned how good it is.
 
I don't have strong opinions on this case
and I'm noping 3 or 4 inches away given that dupe
 
The previous ones are like generic hack+slash, which is fun enough but not really amazing for me.
 
6:37 PM
lol
 
Indeed, the entire gaming press community is collectively gushing so hard about GoW that there's a 3 inch layer of assorted fluids in every editorial office. Hell, seeing that so many good PS4 games have come out over the past few years has made me consider getting one
 
I got Darksiders 2 for free a few months ago and it was a good diversion but not anything to write home about.
Same with the Bayonetta games, they're fun enough.
 
@StrixVaria Darksiders 2 maybe? Darkstalkers (according to google) is a fighting game
 
@Chippies Yeah, sorry.
 
and Darksiders 2 was free for PS+ users
to be fair, I can never remember the name of that game myself either
 
6:38 PM
It's a really easy mistake to make.
 
I can remember what it's not, but I can't remember what it is
I wish PS4 had a subscription thing like Xbox does, with all the new releases available on launch. I would actually play more games on it then
the backwards compatibility on xbox one is also something I wish ps4 had...
too bad ps4 has better exclusives than xbone
 
it has backwards compat?
hm. Maybe I shoulda got an XONE lol
 
@GnomeSlice not for all games, but the list is huge
the games even run at higher resolution and whatnot
on the Xbox One X you can even run 360 titles at native 4k
but overall, if you're a PC gamer, the PS4 has better exclusives, imho
a lot of the xbox games are either available on PC or PS4 as well
that backwards compatibility is pretty sick though
 
@Chippies Oh man, I forgot Alice was backwards compatible.
I want to replay that, but my disc is signed, and I don't want to mess it up. :(
My biggest complaint about the backwards compatibility is that server functionality doesn't come with it. Crimson Skies, one of the most fun multiplayer games for Xbox, doesn't support online multiplayer anymore.

@Fluttershy I imagine it's because it needs servers and they are dead now. I would imagine games that had LAN support would probably still work (if any such existed in the first place)

@Frank my dba also didnt know you could use alter user or alter login to update names/login names for a sql login. sigh
 
@Dragonrage Your DBA doesn't seem like he knows what he's doing.
 
yeah, ive come to that realization. he knows a bit more than me about some parts of sql and dba stuff, but ive never actually been taught sql or dba stuff so thats not saying much
 
@Unionhawk boo

@fredley how much does a messy factory design bother you?
 
I've started seablock, limited space and limited resources make everything worse
@Ash also shirts occasionally need to be cleaned.
Great shirt though

@KevinvanderVelden That's when you wear it into the shower! :P
 
Aah. Hmm. Yeah ok that works
 
user15026
See, I thought of everything ;)
 
@KevinvanderVelden I've started a base without a main bus, just belt wherever I think I want them.
It's going well. Currently researching cunstruction bots. I still need to actually start oil production though.

Q: Three boys, two boys, one PlayStation plus account.

user210297They all play on both systems at different times. But for some reason it is locking 2 of my kids out of all games. I need all three kids to have access to on both systems at anytime. Why is this not working. If I need to pay for another PlayStation plus sub I will be very upset. I just bought the...

 
i wish i had a UI designer. i dont know proper ui design standards and such
 
UI is very hard, IME
 
10:39 PM
which is why most companies hire people specifically trained to do it.
like, i could create a wizard with 3 pages with a lot of information to fill out on each page, or i could split it into 6 pages with less info to be filled out per page
neither is particularly hard to do from a programming perspective, but which design is more user friendly, i have no idea
 
I would vote for #2 but have a back button and give them a summary at the end just before you do the thing
N.b. I have terrible UX sensitivities
 
i have to create records in a database after steps 1 and 2 in the database in the first instance, and after 1 and 5 in the second. so to allow backwards navigation and editing, i would have to have a flag set i guess to determine whether to insert or update
 
10:57 PM
Some databases have an INSERT OR REPLACE command or similar
That said, why do you have to create the records immediately rather than waiting until the whole thing is filled out?
 
@ToxicFrog ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE ...
 
players will turn anything into a hellscape given the chance, so I am entirely unsuprised
 
Are there SQLs that don't have that? That would be... interesting
 
@quartata depends on the dialect.
sqlite is INSERT OR REPLACE INTO ...
 
11:03 PM
Oh yeah, I just mean semantically
 
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE seems to be a mysqlism?
 
Not the exact command
@ToxicFrog yes, that's what I'm native to
 
Aah
 
Pretty sure Postgres also uses that syntax
I didn't know SQLite had something different
Oh, Postgres calls it "ON CONFLICT"
weird I didn't know it was so inconsistent
 
@quartata yeah, most of my sqling has been either sqlite or dremel, which are both weird in different ways
 
11:08 PM
This seems to be mostly a SQL Server crowd here which I'm sure is weird about it too
 
@ToxicFrog because the records for an employee are split across several tables, and some have to be generated first before being able to edit
