@Wipqozn There are just a lot of exploitative strategies. It feels like balance didn't even enter into the devs' minds as they built the game. I should expect no more from any Nintendo game though.
I need my competitive games to be much more rigorously balanced than this.
 
@Exeggutor yeah I doubt it's something they even thought about
 
hmm

@Unionhawk sushi
 
When creating a fictional setting, it should still reflect the real world. Make sure your setting has: -transit infrastructure -localized culture -an industry -a group of holidaying Australians who've only been there for three days but somehow already know everybody

I mean it's based on this but at least I managed to get it working even though it lacks a lot of documentation (esp for linux) so I'm proud
 
i don't remember who the aussie bridgers are but they are probably coming online about now
 
@GodEmperorDune i was always online

Q: How can I make this block move up repeatedly

user213704I downloaded a map with the replica of the Empire State Building and the elevator was just for decoration. I wanted it to move and I didn't have the time to make all of those commands. How can I make the elevator move up with only a few command blocks?

 
@Ave accursed Bonzi
 
Ave
@quartata lol
 
@Ave cool flag fam
 
Ave
thanks fam
It's only taking up a single core on our prod server and allowing ~10 viewers, that's a win IMO.
 
it's all I/O bound I'd imagine

CPU needs will go up depending on how many dabs

Q: Is there a reason to save P$?

Chase IngebritsonI've been playing BlazBlue: Central Fiction for a fair bit now and have accrued a bit of P$ before I finally noticed. I then looked around for a bit and saw that there's an item shop where you can buy sounds and character colors. Each of these are around 2000P$, with a character costume for Noel ...

 
@Ash wait even though quebec is all ultra french?
 
user15026
1:23 AM
@GodEmperorDune yep!
 
user15026
Its one of my favourite Canada facts BECAUSE NO ONE EXPECTS IT
 
Ave
@quartata it's mostly networking limitations
and we have full duplex gigabit on this machine so
 
I was thinking I/O from the camera, actually
Depends
 
Ave
@quartata I use rcmp to send obs-encoded data to a cloud server where it gets encoded again and streamed to logged in users
 
oh, so its not recording on the same computer
 
Ave
1:44 AM
welp that was terrible
 
?
 
@Ave it was a good dab fam
 
Ave
@quartata tl;dr got attacked, even though I only posted the link in my very own server.
 
wtf
...well, and here
 
Ave
well
you need creds to get in
I only posted creds there
I mean it was me being dumb
I got hate before by some straight pride people and they said that they were watching (all that anonymously, IPs routed back to PIA) so /shrug I should've expected that
I should probably post even less stuff... on my own server. World is a fun place.
 
1:50 AM
is this because you made fun of Notch that one time lmao
 
Ave
it's because apparently I'll go to hell for being lesbian
 
own server == discord?
 
@Ave if all the lesbians are in hell, that would make it much more fun imo
hell's pride celebrations gonna be lit
 
Ave
@quartata yes
@GodEmperorDune well yes
 
were the creds in text or a screenshot
 
Ave
1:53 AM
text
 
if you posted it to your image host thingy, if the IDs are sequential maybe they were looking through those
 
Ave
it's not sequential
and we have ratelimits to prevent that
 
hmm
maybe something more nefarious... :/
 
@GodEmperorDune I am disappointed, there's no Newfoundland & Labrador

@Ave doesn't make it any less painful to get registers like this (cw: lgbt hate) while still alive though (there were 3 others over last 3 days or so, but they had worse words and more hate so I can't share them)
 
1:55 AM
@Chippies complain to OP
 
@GodEmperorDune you're the OP of the link-posting, I am complaining!
 
@Ave i'm sorry these jerks are doing this fam
@Chippies OP on twitter, lol
 
complaining to the twitter-OP requires having a presence on twitter and that is too much to ask
 
you know, discord sucks anyways
start your own Miaou server
 
Ave
hmph
I mean I guess I can always shut down the service lol
 
1:56 AM
and make it super secret
 
my twitter is primarily for joining giveaways, lol
 
Ave
I'll get a new one right afterwards but still
(I ran numerous image host services over the last 1.75 years or so)
 
@GodEmperorDune isn't everything kinda lit in hell?
hell is a lit place
 
@Chippies that's a hot take if i ever heard one
 
NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR - “ask me about 1949” - straddles time zones and cultures - weirdly does not want to hear your Newfie joke?? - actually more progressive than you think - weirdly does not want to hear your dildo joke, either - bakes the best scones, fuck you
I found it!

@Chippies so how accurate is it?
 
@GodEmperorDune I mean, I am not a "real" newfie, but seems fairly accurate to me

5:19 AM
@Memor-X Sure, you can argue Sauron represents industrialization...
Although Saruman might be a better example.
 
@Yuuki yeh i always though that just from his monologue in the first film
 
5:35 AM
@Yuuki iirc, saruman and the uruk hai are supposed to represent the evils of the industrial revolution, the hobbits are the old traditional ways of farming
and sauron is just wealth and power
although really the whole thing is just backstory to the hobbit based on the awesome ring of lulz that bilbo gets

@Ronan So SFP is apparently concluding?

The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) is a compact, hot-pluggable optical module transceiver used for both telecommunication and data communications applications.

It is a popular industry format jointly developed and supported by many network component vendors. An SFP interface on networking hardware is a modular (plug-and-play) slot for a variable, media-specific transceiver in order to connect a fiber optic cable or sometimes a copper cable. SFP t...

Hey Bridge, a year ago right now I had literally just gotten married!

That is kiiiinda great.
 
To be fair, yeah for telling a complete story and not going on and on without a plan
@Ash \o/
 
user15026
I made a Facebook post about it and some friends I have made in the interim are very confused about the "I rode the bus to my wedding" part
 
I would be too, it's much more you to take the train
 
user15026
3:52 PM
There was no train!
 
user15026
Well we found a caboose after that we took pictures at!
 
@KevinvanderVelden Is it though? It never really felt like there was an arc. There's the background plot of The Conspiracy but it never feels like a foreground plot.
 
oh poor germany
that 2-0
 
SFP feels more like a slice-of-life rather than a narrative drama.
 
@TimStone But with get params you can have a bad link attack
Which seems like an issue
 
3:58 PM
Okay, "slice-of-life" is probably the wrong term. Episodic? I 'unno.

@Exeggutor Even crazier is that if Mexico had won, South Korea could have gotten therough
Which I really wish had happened now, because no one would have predicted that
 
Yeah
 
Everyone seemed to be acting under the assumption germany would have won or tied with SK
 
4:24 PM
@Wipqozn Feels like Brazil, man.
Oh how the turntables
 
@Yuuki yeah brazil must be pretty happy now
I'm just assuming they're still bitter. I know I would be.
7-1 when hosting it is pretty upsetting
 
@Wipqozn Although an easy rebuttal would be "2-0 !== 7-1".
 
@Yuuki Yeah but those South Korean goals are worth way more than the Germany ones
Each SK goal is worth, like, 3 germany goals
 
And when Germany doesn't score, it's worth 1 Brazilian goal?
 
I wonder how long until Pornhub makes a tweet saying "STOP UPLOADING GERMANY VS SOUTH KOREA GAMES GUYS"
there's more to that joke but I can't remember it
They made it at 7-1, and I guess they do it all the time?

is it not possible to purchase a steam game to your inventory anymore? I can only find the option to buy for myself or gift and there's no leave it in inventory option
 
Ave
not an option anymore i believe
 
well that sucks, I wanted to buy a game for a friend who hasn't been a PC gamer in like 5 years and he's trying to recover his steam account, so I can't send it directly to him yet, but the game is on a good sale
 
@Chippies do you have to send the gift immediately?
 
@Dragonrage I can't, but that is the only option anymore
there is no way to buy a game to your inventory now
so you either send it immediately or you don't send it at all
 
oh, mustve changed since i gifted last. i think my gift was sent to the email, and then they redeemed the code.
though it was probably 1-2 years ago
 
9:34 PM
@Dragonrage yes, the gift sends to email, but it only offers to send to my friends list
 
oh, i see. feelsbadman
 
meh, no big deal, I'm just trying to convert a console gamer to PC :P
I was gonna gift him Counter Strike 1.6, because he could play that on his girlfriends ancient laptop, lmao
we've played Fortnite together, because it supports cross-play, but that game is terrible
 
As far as battle royales I've played, I wish there was a game with gunplay like PUBG but not developed by Bluehole.

For the first time ever I've wanted Splatoon 2 to have any kind of chat,

@Yuuki PUBG does look like it has good gunplay, even though I've only played it on mobile and seen videos of the PC version. Fortnite guns feel terrible and I feel like the dev time has been focused more on building than it is on shooting
 
this looks very weird
 
@Dragonrage pretty much anything that doesn't follow this on arqade is off-topic
 
@Chippies i wasnt meaning the actual content, just the layout with the button seeming to be part of the title
 
10:07 PM
@Dragonrage yeah, I figured. Do you have the browser window oddly squished or something?
 
@Chippies I personally think that's the right thing to do, though. The difference between a casual battle royale and a competitive battle royale game, I think, will be in whatever movement techniques are available and Fortnite has the most by far due to building
Of course I've said before that I value skill-based movement very heavily in FPSs
probably too heavily
 
@quartata I personally hate Fortnite, because the guns feel terrible and I don't care about minecrafting my way to victory
the guns feel almost random at times
 
they probably are
random spread is very popular which is dumb
competitive tf2 is played with fixed weapon spreads for a reason
 
and the bullet travel time is incredibly stupid, because sniper rifle bullets fly slower than any other weapon
 
yeah, I was about to say that all the battle royales have bullet travel time on the rifles which I think is lazy
I get that they want open sightlines and this is the solution to that
but I think there's other things they could have done
leaving aside the simplest one, which is not to have open sightlines
 
10:12 PM
eh, bullet travel time is fine, but the sniper rifle bullets should travel faster
 
rolling empty plains are not as fascinating as they think
 
fairly sure even pistol bullets travel faster than sniper
 
the stuff like the woods and the abandoned buildings are cool
 
@Chippies no, its on a full sized page and my monitor is like 23' or something

Speaking of Fortnite, wat
@quartata Eh, fixed spread means that to be good, you have to memorize spread patterns.
Which was honestly my least favorite thing to learn about CS:GO.
 
TF2 doesn't have recoil which is what you're thinking of
what I mean is that for stuff like shotguns the pattern is fixed like this:
*  *  *
*  *  *
*  *  *
with random spread it can be more or less spread
minigun also has a spread like this
 
Oh in that case, fair enough.
 
Just watched some gameplay of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes and man does that look like fun
