12:17 AM
So watched Doctor Who - Twice Upon a Time with my mum last night. had to wake her up a couple of times to see when Peter Capaldi regenerated but because of a Desync error that must have been with the original video so at the part where Jodie Whittaker is trying to reach for the controls as the TARDIS is on it's side spilling everything out the video cut out
and after all of that my mum went "i didn't see the new Doctor" so i had to replay the section and pause at points to show my mum Jodie Whittaker's face and how she's was wearing Peter Capaldi's jacket
she's not too fussed seeing how the epsiode ends, she only wanted to see Peter Capaldi go away and getting that closure that the "series isn't ruined thanks to him" (she's always been of the belief that the series lost it's audience since they stared Peter Capaldi)

@GodEmperorDune Pier to pier network is so good

Q: Automatic Minecart Loader not at the end of a track

jeffkmengI have two mining bases connected to my home. I have a minecart system like this: Mining A -> Mining B -> Home. I built a successful minecart with chest item loader at mining base A and an unloader at Home, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to make the automatic loader at B, in the middle o...

Q: Can you help me with a command issue

Chylord When I try to do the command it says I'm missing a } bracket or that I'm missing the object member name, does anyone know what causes this problem?

 
3:50 AM
No. 2 - wouldn't be surprised if it's for an EA game
 
4:08 AM
Friend/mutual: *Uploads artwork* Me:

this feels like an expectations vs reality setup
maybe my followers are mercurial because im a hack
Also lol at the screenshot in comic sans
 
@Memor-X RE: Reverse grip - kinds makes sense. More fingers on all areas of the controller, rather than relying on your thumbs for nearly everything but the shoulder buttons. Unlearning my current grip and getting used to a left-right inversion would be too much for me.
 
4:26 AM
Apparently you can beat the trash cans TO SHIT #nightinthewoods #NintendoSwitch
@Unionhawk i actually didnt know about this
I'm wondering how many breakable things I've missed out on
I've been conditioned not to break things... abhorrent
 
@quartata Go play some Red Faction
Breaking stuff is a core gameplay mechanic
 
user15026
As usual, this guy does a fantastic job of breaking this stuff down
 
@PrivatePansy I really don't know why destructible or otherwise more interactive environments like that in FPSs was "trendy" for a few years and then relegated
 
4:42 AM
@quartata durkilleaburg has the most I think, you can smash up the cars etc
 
And the neon, street lights,
It's one of the few areas where Mae has a bat
It's also just faster to not, which is unfortunate
 
i really aught to play the rest outside 1, Chain of Memories and 2 because i don't understand how Organization XIII is still around
 
@Unionhawk I do remember beating up the cars I think
@Unionhawk what if every time you commit a crime the game sped up by 5%
now we're cooking
Honestly that could be a mod that would improve a lot of games
It'd fit right in with GTA at least
 
@quartata I think multiplayer shooters got more popular, and balancing a game with destructible environment for multplayer play is significantly harder than a fixed map
 
4:48 AM
@PrivatePansy Counter-Strike Source had tons of instances where you could cover the bomb with a barrel or something and no one would find it
Then they went to the other extreme in GO which was no fun allowed
 
@quartata Just like in real life :P
 
no physically simulated props period
@PrivatePansy I mean yeah lol
 
It's really annoying they've removed all dustbins from subway stations
 
Why have it in plain sight, no sense
 
Because of one bomb scare
 
4:50 AM
In these cases though the bomb would actually clip into the barrel so not quite as fair or realistic
Also bots would freak out lol
To me at least it seems like few games have gotten an opportunity to use new hardware for physics. It's not good enough for hair yet so people don't care I guess
 
Put a basket over their head
 
We've seen serious innovation in hat rendering techniques as a result

amazon.com.tr happened
also this happened
they didn't even bring wishlists or shopping lists wtf
 
8:07 AM
@Ave At least you have a proper website.
Amazon.com.sg tells you to download an app. And that's the entire bloody store.
You can only shop on your phone. It's so stupid.
 
Ave
nice
android app for amazon is so bad
it likes to freeze my phone
 
Their gimmick is that you can get your stuff delivered in two hours, but I never bothered with that
The minimum spend is $40. Trying to buy $40 worth of groceries on your phone is stupid.
 
Ave
ah wish I could use it for groceries
 
The supermarket is like 10 min walking distance away.
Why would I bother with two hour delivery when I can just walk

Q: ESO - Who is the elf from eso trailers

zozoIn eso most trailers is featured an elf (bosmer I guess? despite the clothing that is altmer). In the earlier trailers (2014) I thought "heroes" were not chars from the game, but here (summerset trailer) the cat is pretty obvious Razum Dar so maybe she is a char in game too: ...

 
Ave
8:24 AM
@PrivatePansy why would i bother with walking if I can just lie down and use my tech coins to pay others to bring stuff to me
speaking of, turkish service that does that (getir) is not working for me :ok_hand: crashes after I say OK to the "to use this app you need to use google's location services"

TGS starts tomorrow
All I want is confirmation that FFCC will have coach coop
 
11:31 AM
@Wipqozn I have no idea what those acronyms mean
 
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles is an action role-playing game developed by The Game Designers Studio and published for the GameCube by Nintendo in 2003 in Japan; and 2004 in North America, Europe and Australia. A remastered version for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 will be released in 2019. A spin-off of the Final Fantasy series, Crystal Chronicles was the first title released for a Nintendo console since Final Fantasy VI in 1994. Players take on the role of adventurers who travel in a caravan gathering mystical fuel for crystals which protect the world's settlements from the destructive...
 
and TGS?
 
11:50 AM
@Wipqozn the switch version?
@Nzall Tokyo Game Show i assume
 
12:06 PM
@Memor-X Yes. It's on Sony's list of games, so my hope is it'll be on the show floor set up Ruth 4 player local coop
I shouldn't even need this confirmation, but game companies can just be really dumb sometimes
So who knows, maybe they thought online was all they needed
 
@Wipqozn well it's entirely possible given all the online multiplayer now-a-days that they make it to be online co-op. more so when nintendo will now charge for multi-player
 
@Memor-X If it's online only then I likely won't be buying it
Coach coop is a large part of what made the game fun
 
Is coach the Canadian word for couch or
Am I just having a fever dream
 
That's how they say it with their accent.
This is just the spelling catching up.
 
Exactly
Also I honestly forgot they were spelled differently
 
12:24 PM
@Unionhawk I hope you never meet a Kiwi
"Come and sit on my deck, it's lovely and warm"
 
So the World First race is actually quite exciting
There are 2 main contents: Limit in the USA, and Method in EU
Limit had their weekly reset yesterday, roughly 22 hours ago, but apparently decided to extend their lockout because they got to 4%. Method had their reset 5 hours ago, but didn't extend
However, 4% on G'huun is still A LOT
like, 4% on G'huun is still 6M hp
it's like 10% on another boss

Q: What game does this video from Twitter come from?

NzallGreen Man Gaming posted a tweet about International Pirates Day with a short gif video showing 2 characters bumping their fists, and I was wondering what game it came from since the characters look interesting. The tweet can be found at https://twitter.com/GreenManGaming/status/10423903903332352...

 
@MBraedley Well, maybe we got Vulcans wrong. They are named after the Roman god of fire and volcanoes...
 
@Lazers2.0 Hope this question doesn't violate one of our many rules on ITG questions
 
I knew that one, but I was too slow to get my answer in time.

If you used a credit card on @Newegg within the last month then you need to review your transactions and should also consider cancelling your card https://twitter.com/volexity/status/1042400603648008193
 
@TimStone People don't review their transactions regularly?
(I mean, I don't have a schedule, but I try to review my transaction history every two weeks or so)
 
It's easy to miss things, especially if you share a card with someone tbh
 
2:45 PM
@TimStone Oh yeah, didn't think about sharing cards.
My parents don't share cards, they each have their own.
Then again, my mom's an accountant so this was probably on purpose.
 
Big purchases are more obvious but when my card number was stolen it was for like $50-ish charges that I had to check
 
To be fair, YNAB helps a lot.
 
@Yuuki I mean a lot of credit cards give you a separate card with a different number when you add a person at least which helps but of course not the specific one in my recent case :|
 
@Yuuki YNAB is excellent
 
I've tried setting budgets for different kinds of purchases in the past but I always just blew past them if I felt like it in the moment so the budgeting thing just always yelled at me so I stopped looking at it.
I definitely have a budgeting problem.
 
2:55 PM
It's not just the budgeting, the record-keeping is very useful as well.
 
I typically just set my budget for each category as the average amount of money spent in the past.
@fredley Oh, and it doesn't help that this was in Ipswich.

It's weird to tag a question asking "what is the name of this game" with the name of the game.
But aside from "it's weird" I don't see a reason not to, once the name is known.
 
Pretty sure our policy isn't to add the game name to itg questions.
 
3:06 PM
I'm pretty sure we don't have an explicit policy on that point.
Like if it's not there, there's no reason to add it. But if it is there, there's also no reason to remove it.
 
Jesus Christ @Strix-whateverpokemonyouaretoday stop changing your name and avatar
Literally the worst
@strixpokemon pls
 
You've had like three days to adjust to this one
at this point this is your fault
 
I ONLY JUST REALISED IT WAS HIM I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST SOME INTERLOPER
 
@Unionhawk Has it been that long? Should I change again?
 
LITERALLY ON THE VERGE OF USER-STYLING THIS ONE OUT
 
3:08 PM
@Slowpoke I don't know, I'm just guessing
 
@fredley The name change and avatar isn't the worst part.

Q: Should identify-this-game questions be tagged with the game name when an answer is found?

ZommuterSomeone else knowing this game could use the other ("wrong") answers as recommendations to similar games.

 
SHOULD USERS BE TAGGED WITH THEIR CANONICAL USERNAME? YES
 
@Frank That's so old.
Not that that means it's not valid.
 
@Slowpoke Its still our policy.
 
@Slowpoke I am upset that nobody else has complained about this.
 
3:09 PM
It's just so old.
 
We could always update it.
 
I miss the days when I could just modabuse other people's profile pictures
 
Also, the policy just says that we probably shouldn't go to the effort adding game tags to ITG questions.
 
I find no compelling reason for either side of this particular minutia.
 
But we're pretty lazy; who wants to go through all the itg and re-tag them with the games?
Not me.
 
3:10 PM
Not that we should remove game tags from ITG questions that have them.
 
@Frank I don't think anyone wants that.
 
Oh wait, I think I can modabuse him back to StrixVaria
 
@fredley You mean the approximately three days between discovering and losing this power?
 
@Slowpoke do you mind if I test some modabuse?
 
We're just talking about, if it winds up on the question, is there any burden for someone to remove it?
@fredley If your modabuse is limited to renaming me to "StrixVaria", then I assent.
 
3:11 PM
lol
 
Rekt
You're not even a mod any more take that
 
Oh did you just change my site association?
 
Yeah
 
I did not assent to this!
I'm calling the police.
 
I'm tempted to press the kick button since I now have this power
 
3:12 PM
@StrixVaria Hello this is the police

but I won't
partly because now I can't anymore
 
It's so stupid how I actually lose chat powers if that happens.
 
This way if someone de-mods @Wipqozn he can still kick you from the room for being a jerk.
Apparently you can't kick mods though so I'd have to de-mod said jerk first.
Which, as we just proved, I could actually do.
 
@Frank incidentally it was just duped to this lol

@Slowpoke Do you give assent?
 
3:39 PM
Guys, I've come to a decision
I've been playing WAAAAAAAY too much WoW
like, 50 hours a week
so I'm going to cut back on it
 
That's probably healthy :)
I'm not sure how much I've been playing...
 
Like, way back, hoping to reduce that to around 15-20 hours per week
 
@Nzall I don't even work that much in a week.
 
@JasonBerkan It's more than I do, even if I generously include my commute and lunch in my work hours
 
@Nzall yeah i had to quit wow altogether when i realized this
 
3:47 PM
@Nzall Isn't this what happens when anyone plays WoW?
Hence why the only way to stay healthy is to never play WoW?
JUST SAY NO

@fredley I don't know what's weirder, that it has existed for that long, that we're still trolling each other with it, or that I've been here long enough to remember it coming out and chatting here about it when it first was a thing.
 
The fact the earliest page for "friday" in a transcript search contains a reference to Friday is pretty great.
Mar 18 '11 at 13:38, by LessPop_MoreFizz
It's Friday! (Not a link to that repulsive and awful song.)
 
i’ve been writing for as long as i can remember. through high school, college, grad school, and now my phd, it’s always been on the side. it's always had to be. then i got to write a book. now this week, i start my first tv writing job. and it’s for my dream show. LET'S GOOOO
