Q: Can experience of a division go up from a template change?

Shelby115I've noticed that if I add troops or support companies to a division template their experience will go down (which makes sense because fresh recruits). So then does the experience of the division go up if I remove troops from the division template?

 
I'm not sure what happened, but @ToxicFrog message seems to have vanished into the abyss
wait there it is
Oh huh, that's weird
3 mins ago, by ToxicFrog
@Wipqozn both~
Looks like that message is no considered to be in the previous day for SE. When I clicked the little ping button to dismiss the ping, it actually opened the chat transcript.
So chat must just assume that any message from the previous day isn't in the active room, so it just opens the chat transcript without bothering to check
 
Huh/
 
looks like @Wipqozn is causing hipster problems again
 
12:05 AM
I blame my bowtie browser extension
 
My boss wasn’t even at the office for the last half of the day
 
@Dragonrage jeez
 
And he didn’t say a single word to me all day
 
weird
you'd think he'd at least say goodbye
your former company is very strange
"bye but hang around all day anyway, ok?"
 
Yeah. Like you’d expect them to at least tell me to remove all my personal stuff on my browser and reset my password and stuff
 
12:11 AM
they usually deactivate your account and image the machine
 
So basically I got paid to sit there all day and do nothing.
 
but still weird that they let you hang around with access to things
 
HR never even talked to me. Just my recruiter at the contracting firm I’m with
 
Changing jobs @Dragonrage?
 
I guess I am now
Know anyone who needs a c# dev in Southern California?
 
12:14 AM
Honestly I'm really confused
I feel like I'm missing some context
Did you give your notice and is this your last day?
 
I was given notice that my contract wasn’t being renewed today. And today is the last day of my contract
It had been extended 4 times already though
 
Oh you're a contractor, yeah that just clicked
THat explains everything
 
And was supposed to transition into a full time position
 
Okay well that really sucks
 
But the way it was handled was really weird
 
12:17 AM
Sounds like they wanted to avoid an awkward conversation and just passed it off to your recruiter
 
My recruiter was pretty salty about the whole thing. He didn’t like the way the handled it
But like who says, bye but stay here all day with full access to everything
 
no one, that's the weirdest part of this whole thing
 
Like I have full access to the database and the codebase. And my boss wasn’t even there the last half of the day
I could’ve just dropped every table and deleted all the code if I was that type of person
 
i checked my company's listings, we have QA engineer, NOC engineer, and then some senior dev spots
 
Yeah that's really weird
At my last job, whenever someone left, they'd barely be out the door and I'd already be removing their access from everything
We actually may be hiring C# devs in the coming months, but well, it's a bit further than South California :P
 
12:23 AM
@Wipqozn yeah, especially if the person didn't know it was coming, usually their access is revoked while they're told that they're fired
@Wipqozn i mean the brothers pepperoni is good but then you have to be near @Wipqozn so
 
@GodEmperorDune Yup. We had one person be laid off from the dev team. I was the only one on the team that knew before it happened, because I was the one responsible for removing all his access the moment my boss asked to chat to him in his office.
 
@GodEmperorDune junior qa or more senior? I haven’t done any qa engineering except writing unit tests for my own work
 
@Dragonrage junior
 
Hmm I’d be interested in checking that out. Never hurts to apply
 
sure, i'll send you links on steam
 
12:26 AM
That works. Or discord if it’s easier.
Thanks :)
 
discord it is then
steam chat has been unstable lately
 
@Dragonrage It really doesn't. even if you decide a place really isn't for you, or you don't get an offer, it always helps to practice your interview skills.
 
@Wipqozn yea ive learned some interview skills lately that I need to practice
I’m pretty good at being interviewed but I need to get better at interviewing companies
 
ok, sent on discord
 
Thank you :)

Q: Is it possible to change a Nintendo 3DS XL to a different region?

adelejjehI bought a used 3DS XL today. After buying it, I found out that it is from the EU region, I am in the US. Is there anyway that the region of the console can be changed? I heard that places like Gamestop might replace it with an american version or something like that, does anyone know if that's t...

 
@Unionhawk THis is wonderful
Also I love how randomizers have just exploded in popularity in the past year
Someone made one for the Resident Evil HD Remaster earlier this year, and the LTTP one has been around for years now

I really need to play LTTP Randomizer at some point

@RedRiderX the DLC policy for Bioware was always crap
 
@MadScientist Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
 
@RedRiderX but the ending DLC is still free right?
 
@Memor-X Yes there are multiple free story dlcs for ME2 and ME3
There are many more not free ones though
 
@RedRiderX i was talking ME3 mainly
like i have not seen what the game is like when you don't have it, just hearsay that the ending is shit no matter without it

user15026
@TimStone What happened there?
 
@Ash I can't remember the details offhand, it was just general Nickelodeon mismanagement that resulted in creative disputes and the tanking of the project
Nick was supposed to set up an "edgier" cartoon block for the show to air in originally but that didn't happen then they complained about ratings and I seem to recall Vasquez saying he'd refuse to ever work with them again
It's possible that the leadership has changed though

So I've got some good news/bad news to share with The Bridge. The good news is I've got the rest of the summer off! The bad news is it's because I was laid off on Thursday. Now I'm not going to go into any other details, because there's a piece of paper I need to sign, but just know that I'm going to be fine, financially, physically, and emotionally.

@MBraedley As long as you're going to be okay, that's what matters. Sorry to hear about the bad news, but you seem to be finding the positive in it
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune I really need to get caught up on my nonbinary gem show because augh yes good movie
 
@Ash Yeah, there's some positives beyond the summer vacation, but I can't really get in to them.
 
@MBraedley Yay, summer vacation! Boo, laid off.
Been there. Sucks if you have to worry about your finances, but it sounds like you're good to go.
 
user15026
@MBraedley nods I figured as much from your statement. But I am happy things seem positive right now :)
 
user15026
I hope your summer brings you much relaxation and funtimes as you need, and that you find your next work adventure as soon as you wish to.
 
6:38 PM
@Frank Yeah, the work travel per-diems helped bolster my bank accounts.
 
@MBraedley And it sounds like the job's been frustrating you for a while.
So this'll let you destress and think about yourself.
 
@Ash yeah I’ve watched like the first 5 episodes only
@MBraedley ooh that sucks but at least you have some time to figure things out

@GodEmperorDune I've watched a bunch but I know I am waaaaay behind

Q: Afterglow Prismatic Xbox One Controller Gamma

Gareth MongoldSo I accidentally was pressing the D-Pad when my controller disconnected, and it lit up and started vibrating because it went into calibration mode. Then, it would only read half input, so I thought it was broken. A few months later I learned of this "calibration mode," and fixed it. There was on...

 
@MBraedley That sucks, but sounds like that job has been causing you some stress, so hopefully this will result in moving onto greener pastures.
 
@MBraedley Well, assuming you've been laid off for restructuring rather than straight up fired, I'm fairly sure you can get a decent recommendation out of it and prospects for a good next job
 
7:10 PM
@Nzall Yeah, my (former) project manager and the system engineer that left a few months ago will both provide references for me.
 
@Ave the problem is that I haven't found a dedicated server that works with bedrock, because there is no official server
there is a whole list of server software, but the two that are said to be compatible with newest version don't work with the world generated by the newest version of the game

Q: Stream games from PC to TV (no cable) at more than 60 frames per second

Daniel SIs there any way to stream games from PC to TV wirelessly at 120+ FPS? I couldn't find any on the internet.. I saw moonlight/SteamLink and even Nvidia shield are capped at 60 if I'm not mistaking. Any ideas?

 
I also couldn't even connect to the server with a world generated by the server
apparently the "featured" servers in the game aren't running official server software either, so clearly there is a way, which is why I was wondering if anyone actually has experience with it

Cable management isn't perfect but I'd need to buy more cables for it to work any other way so meh :|
If anyone's ever in the market, the stand is actually cheap compared to other 3-monitor stands and minus a few painting defects it's pretty darn sturdy
Pain in the ass to get the monitors even remotely aligned, but that's only slightly the stand's fault
Chair is also not bad, a bit on the stiff side by that actually works better for me than the (more expensive) chair I already had, available in an assortment of colours
And I got those rollerblade wheels for it because the tiny plastic wheels suck on carpet and I kept eating through floor mats >_>
 
9:38 PM
@TimStone that leg room though
or lack thereof
 
Hahah, yeah, the angle is very misleading, there's a decent amount of space from the edge of the desk to the shoe rack holding my boxes of assorted crap I should go through
 
@TimStone is that Evo 202? it looks much bigger in the photo than it does in person
that desk looks really nice though
and those monitors >.<
 
@Chippies 212 but yeah
 
@TimStone ah, right, they got a new revision of it now. I think it's the same size though as 202
 
Yeah, I believe it is, I think I have the 202 on the motherboard I replaced
I did not upgrade to 4K monitors this time but I'm still pretty happy with these so I'll probably wait on that
 
9:45 PM
are they all 1080p?
 
Yep
Hmm, I might need to get a small drawer to attach under the desk, that's probably the best solution to my accumulation of mess off to the left there :|
