is there a way to flag rooms?
 
It depends on the context but not really. A mod flag on a message explaining the situation would probably be your best bet

> Touhou fans get ready for Touhou Genso Wanderer Reloaded, which will be available digitally for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation4 for Europe this summer!
explains why no limited edition is coming out for us
despite the fact that Idea Factory has shown it's possible to do a physical Limited Edition with a digital game and NISA themselves did a Physical Limited Edition for Disgaea on Steam

bonebone appreciation hour
 
i needed this
it's good
good twitter
 
Bonebone is the only good account
 
1:14 AM
@Nzall @Ash questionable content is just one image per page right?
ie. if the latest one is 3745.png i can expect just 3745 images?
 
yes
there is an RSS feed though
if thats what you need
 
@Memor-X yes. this is the same for basically every single webcomic
 
keep in mind however that some are animated gifs
 
@quartata don't those just go like 30 comics back, max?
 
e.g 2250.gif
 
1:18 AM
@ASCII-only well Their Story is more than one image per page (though some translators will merge them into a single image)
 
I'm pretty sure it's all PNG or GIFs
he reluctantly uses GIFs, he's very persnickety about the compression
I can't see a difference but
 
@Memor-X because it's not a webcomic?
 
@ASCII-only gets classified as one on Mangadex which alters the UI to be fore image-per-page web comics
@quartata naaa, going to make a script which loops though every page on the site, getting the img src and downloads it. just needed to know if i can assume just the one img node to look for
 
@Memor-X >_> well I don't think mangadex should be an authoritative reference
 
oh ok
 
1:21 AM
also 1 page per page doesn't necessarily mean one page per update
 
@Unionhawk im not allowed to retweet dril for religious reasons but can I just say I find this very relevant for the debate about room topic in TIF
 
@Memor-X link :P
 
@ASCII-only that's not going to work for the GIF comics though
 
@quartata yeah. but that'd be like 3 more lines, max
 
@ASCII-only yeh i did think about that but instead i'm going to start at page #, download whatever is in the img src and then check if the next link is useable and click. that way i only have to specify the start and it'll loop to the end and accounts for any situation where the image isn't a number
 
1:25 AM
btw the first, about, 300 comics are all about indie rock and look nothing like what it looks like today
it's fun to read from a "how has this changed over 15 years" standpoint
 
@quartata is this not true for 90% of webcomics >_>
 
not especially, xkcd was pretty consistent
penny arcade hasn't changed since 2004
QC has gone through 3 fairly distinct eras though
 
@quartata but the first few hundred didn't look that much like it did today
 
true, true
 
@quartata it's a good post and also like 2 layers of meta here

Q: Ducktales: The Quest for Gold - Cave Exploration

Vidar WaagbøIn the DOS game Ducktales: The Quest for Gold, Cave Exploration is one of the minigames played to earn money on your quest to victory. The goal is to navigate a cave/maze while avoiding holes, a moving mummy (which follows a kind of shortest path algorithm) and do it before your torch runs out (u...

ive come to the conclusion that I need nepotism to get followers
I can make replies to tweets that get likes, but then no one clicks on my profile despite my enticing profile picture. it's tricky
clearly I need someone to teach me how to twitter

Q: How can I go to those systems without hyperspace links?

temyI was just looking in my map, and I find there are some worlds which doesn't have hyperspace links to them. I don't know how to get to those systems. Are they just decorations, or is it some kind of unfinished code? If neither, how do I get there?

Missed a trick not having The Crown theme as she walked in
 
@Memor-X @quartata FYI this comic downloader exists: dosage.rocks
 
@ToxicFrog i tend to avoid these kind of bots since my way of using Selenium is generally guaranteed to work due to the fact that all i'm doing is emulating normal user input. for it to fail on a website is for the website to be user unfriendly
 
@Memor-X that...doesn't follow at all
 
> If you are a publisher of comics and want Dosage to access your files, add the following entry to your robots.txt file
you don't need to do that for a user
and selenium is just used to tell a browser what to do. click here, check for this to exists, run this javascript, type this
a bot works around all of that
 
I have no idea what your argument is here. Rolling your own with Selenium is better than using an existing downloader? I was just pointing out that Dosage (a) exists (b) supports QC and (c) is easy to use
 
12:01 PM
so on my QC archive binge, I just had Faye explain the story of her nervous breakdown, and I'm now in the bar where we first encounter Hanners. I have to say that this early Hanners seems somewhat atypical compared to later comics

Q: How to dominate planets/moons/stations? How do I know if I have dominated it?

temyI kept shooting down any ship in the system but I can't seem to dominate the planet. I don't even know if it is dominated or not. All ships are getting angry to me now.

 
@Lazers2.0 So first you and the planet decide on a safeword...
 
@ToxicFrog well yeh because i know exactly how it works, i know that i am browsing the web page normally like a user and that means each time it's counted as a normal page view which means there the ads should be working and giving money. assuming that there is even 1 cent going to the site owner for each page load, using selenium for the initial download will net them at least $37
and it might be easy to use but it ain't easy to install. i don't have pip so i would have to install that and then i don't have python do i have to install that and it's modules and no doubt something will go wrong in the process. with my script it's a copy and paste job. PHP, the selenium webserver .jar, the php classes all are portable and i've already written a batch file which will start up the selenium server and add php to the path variable
@PrivatePansy and don't decide on Fluggaenkoecchicebolsen

Q: Can a follower die?

After getting his health into the low 40s, he is too strong to get killed even if I make him fight a horde by himself. He won't even get hit anymore. Can he d...

Q: Free Worlds: Reconciliation vs Checkmate Branch

temyWhile I am doing the Free Worlds story, I am hearing about the "Reconciliation" and "Checkmate" branches. What are those and what are their differences to each other?

The NYTimes has an "FAQ" on the royal wedding, complete with 90s geocities style animated gifs nytimes.com/interactive/2018/04/06/style/…
One of them even has sound effects! Amazing!

Saw a really good two engine cargo train on my way to work just now. Hoping that is good luck for an easy day today that goes by quickly so it can be vacation time.

@PrivatePansy when you click on "Did Meghan have a bachelorette party?", everything turns pink, lol
 
@Memor-X You're not going to find any advertisers paying 1 cent per ad. Ads are usually sold per thousand ads shown, and that's generally only for 2 or 3 USD depending on the type of ad. so that's already less than half a cent per ad. Assuming a 50% network cut, that's less than 0.1 cent per ad. Meanwhile, you downloaded 1.5 GB of pageloads from the site
For comparison, prices for bandwidth range from 2.8 cents per GB for colocation in a datacenter to 9 cents on Azure and EC2 to even 12 cents on Google Cloud Platform
A better idea would be to write a script that just downloads the image directly through iteration, because the image itself is only 161 KB per image, or about 600 MB through the same math. They don't get any ad revenue, but they also don't need to pay for half of the bandwidth
or not, my math is off in that respect
the ad revenue, evené if only 0.1 cent, is still 3.7 USD
 
2:41 PM
@Nzall not sure where your getting 1.5GB from given that after the first load alot of it is cached so per page is ~5kb so you'd need to load the page 150,000 times just to reach half of that
but yeh i didn't know that's how ads work. i thought they were on a per unique page load

Q: How to prevent tripartite war in hearts of iron four

Suhrid MulaySo while playing what was my first game of hearts of iron hour with historical focuses to 'off'. I got caught in a really bad three way conflict. Needless to say I was slaughtered. In between the Comintern From Northwest (I was playing as British Raj) Japanese (Axis) from Northeast. Both of whom ...

 
@Memor-X the image itself is 161 kb. In addition, I didn't include cached stuff. Making a quick Chrome test with clicking "next" 3 times and checking at what gets transfered, it's anywhere from 200 to 400 KB per request. A lot of this stuff explicitly has cachebusters enabled
Also, that's with my adblocker disabled, which is the entire point of the excercise (although a bunch of that advertising stuff is paid for by the advertising company, not the person hosting the site)

What the hell
Phone was shutting down immediately after getting plugged in, didn't charge in the Verizon store
Now it's fine
Verizon please don't charge me a whole new phone it didn't work when I made the warranty claim
I've never been so mad that my phone works
It doesn't charge on my original cable though so?
(the cable works we tested it on another phone in the store)
 
Hmm…deep state 🤔
 
Good news it's still broken
It just took a really long time before deciding to shut down and stop charging correctly that time
Warranty powers go
On Tuesday
Because they're not shipping until Monday
Also my sim card might be deactivated
Nope apparently not
