Q: Why does parity of redstone wire length affects piston behavior?

Kaenbyou RinConsider the following simple redstone contraption: The following can be reproduced in 1.14.* and 19w45b: If a button above a blue wool is pressed, the piston would extend, but not retract (unless you send a block update by pushing the reset button). However, if you press a button over an ora...

Hmmm now to figure out how to fit three 27" monitors on my desk
 
@TimStone Very carefully
 
They'll fit on my three-monitor arm it's just…a lot of monitor
 
@TimStone One horizontally in the center and the other two vertically on either side
 
Absolutely not :P
 
1:18 AM
No? It's pretty great
 
Yeah, I don't begrudge anyone that likes it, I'm just big on them all being the same orientation

Q: Does The Simpsons: Hit & Run has the HUD stretched on non 4:3 resolutions?

LemonSome old games have this little problem, where setting a non 4:3 resolution ends up stretching the HUD horizontally instead of moving the UI Items into their correct positions. Does The Simpsons: Hit & Run has this problem/bug?

 
1:36 AM
Obviously you should put them 90 degrees to each other and put your head in the middle
Humans have wide peripheral vision, so it's best to take full advantage of that

I have broken everything on our org website and I don't know how to fix it
I think I'm just going to have to point it back at the old version and call it a day
Should have backed some stuff up, huh
WE DID IT
pro tip if you ever need to fix a random server error, just fumble around randomly using setup type commands in your cli and hope that eventually it will work this time
even though there's no good reason why it should

@Unionhawk that's REALLY beautiful

to be fair, it's pretty much the default ghost theme with dsa font and colors lol
and the www subdomain hates happiness
BUT OTHER THAN THAT
I'll figure out how to encrypt the www domain later, it at least isn't 502ing anymore

@Unionhawk what do you use?
nginx? apache? something else?
Want me to help out?
 
Ave
7:13 AM
DO IP, X-Powered-By: Express, and the issue on www is simply that the cert isn't issued for www.
Assuming you did ghost setup ssl, in that case see ghost.org/docs/api/v2/ghost-cli/knowledgebase/…

@fredley do you remember what was that alley and area we went to eat in when we met in London
 
@badp We ate?
 
yeah
 
I can remember a vague route we walked
 
we also ate pizza where you and your SO used to work
the vague route is also useful
(gonna be in London this Wed and Thu)
All I remember is the hotel where I stayed was in the City
turns out searching my email for from:booking.com is a significantly less useful thing to do when you work there
 
Oh yeah
ok I remember now
 
10:30 AM
didn't we meet at Old Street Underground
or something like that
 
Yeah
This was our approximate walk: pastebin.com/N9nXawXq
Paste it into geojson.io
The place we ate was Spitalfields Market
 
a short 46 min metro ride from Olympia :'(
 
Oh yeah, if you're out West just go for a walk round Hyde park
Don't really know that end of London that well, not well enough to recommend places to eat
 
np
 
Other than Dishoom Kensington, but it's often hard to get into (long queue)
Holland park also a nice place to go for a walk

@Yuuki okay?
George Washington has nothing to do with remembrance day for starters but sure
 
Is Remembrance Day more specific than veterans?
 
well it's Canadian for a start
but no
 
Hey, George Washington was a veteran and I'm sure he fought with or against Canadians at one point or another, so that's gotta count for something.
 
3:03 PM
@Yuuki Here in Europe, it's Armistice day
@Yuuki Was Canada even a thing during the revolutionary war, beyond a British colony?
 
@Nzall That far north, Washington at least must have encountered geese, which were and are a significant and valuable portion of the Canadian military apparatus.

Q: SUPERHOT MCD saves seemingly wiped

This aged poorly
 
depends on how much of an impact the fax machine had on the economy
 
I suppose?
Probably not as much as the internet lol
 
@GnomeSlice hey just because we weren't around for the fax machine doesn't mean a lot of money wasn't moved that way
I know my employer is where it is right now in large part thanks to the fax machine :P
(the fax machine was for the longest time the lowest common denominator of delivering booking information to hotels)
 
@Yuuki *fiber in that they have fiber to the neighborhood nodes, but not so much FTTH. i once tried selling ATT to a google fiber customer and got crushed by them because it was FTTH - legit 1000 mb/s
didn't help that the guy was very knowledgeable about it and had like a fully involved smart house and a need for consistent, reliable connection

I've started playing support/botlane again, but wondering if I should go back to jungle.
Eh... probably not, I'd rather not have to deal with juggling multiple lanes.
 
Jungle Senna, make it happen
 
good lord, between slow auto-attacks and not being able to stack her innate, Senna might actually be the worst jungle champion
Also, her root is delayed, so kiting with that thing must be a nightmare.
 
Actually I think large monsters guarantee one mist monster
So her passive isn't completely useless. Just mostly useless.
But yeah, definitely don't try this at home, kids.

9:25 PM
league players like to talk about 'counterplays'
I'd like to know what was supposed to be my 'counterplay' here
other than, I guess, not leaving the fountain
that was a 0/1/1 malphite who finished 11/3/8
if anything I was too far behind when I used my ult
 
Pretty much the only counterplay you have against AP Malphite is vision.
And Banshee's.
But chiefly vision.
And Banshee's.
 
@badp So to start, I 100% agree with you. AP Malphite is one of the least interactive champions in the game right now, and I can't understand why they haven't removed that insane AP scaling from him yet (they only nerfed it a tiny bit last patch).
He's supposed to be a tank for crying out loud, there's a massive balance problem when the meta build for a tank character is full AP for burst damage
 
Really, the only problem with AP Malphite is that tank Malphite is garbage.
He's always had a ridiculous AP ratio for his ult, but full AP was always only a niche build because his tank build was just flat-out more useful.
I used to main Malphite, Shen, and Zac toplane.
Malph's ult was always stupid if you built full AP, but then so were you if you built him that way. Now, his tank build is not viable because very few tanks are viable toplane right now.
 
ah, that's just a cool 3,000 gold for a passive effect that's easily procced by literally every champion
 
Yes, Luden's Echo should not pop Banshee's Veil, it's super dumb.
 
9:35 PM
So for actual advice, yeah, vision.
1) That spot is a classic spot for surprise skills from many champs - Fiddlesticks, Malphite, Amumu, Thresh, Blitz, etc. Keeping it warded would help keep awareness up.
2) If Malphite is not on the minimap, that means he's in the FoW, which means he might be close (unless you just saw him elsewhere). Try to track his position.
3) Like Yuuki said, Banshee's helps. So does Zhonya's and flash, if you have the reaction time (though the reaction time comes from prediction, which you still need vision for).
 
I had just put vision... on the objective
(the herald)
and the local bush
 
On the other hand, you traded yourself (support) for the enemy midlaner.
That's pretty good, imo.
 
watching the replay I'm really surprised yasuo was able to convert
 
Did you have your support item quest complete?
 
checking
 
9:38 PM
It's 13 minutes in, so I think you should but sometimes I get slow games.
 
I had ancient coin so most likely yes
I still had 1 charge left on it
 
If you find yourself in a similar scenario, you want to position yourself in the bottom-favored side of the lane. That way, warding the botside river bush keeps you safe from river and you have vision of the pathway from bot jungle.
 
that said I hardly would have had the time to put it down since Malphite was already there
 
And Malphite can't ult over the wall next to tower.
Like @MageXy said, raptor bush is a fairly common ambush location since the wall is thin and easy to dash over.
You either want to put a ward against the red side wall to head off potential engages or just play away from raptors.
also, oof nami vs. braum
my sympathies
 
it went okay
we didn't get a kill bot but we also didn't give up one
 
9:45 PM
It's less that Braum can kill you and more that he very neatly counters your laning strategy.
 
er
nevermind
we did give up two on twitch
 
Nami wants to trade often because her W is both harass and sustain but Braum can just eat her W, preventing it from bouncing, with his E.
 
ah yes, the classic case of us winning lane until the enemy connects CC one time
truth is I'm still trash at connecting bubbles
maybe if I managed to Alt-E in there
nah the E was still on cooldown from giving twitch the speed boost
 
lol wow, that Aftershock proc on the Braum saved him from dying to your last auto attack. That was actually kinda lucky on his part tbh
 
oh, nevermind, I didn't have mana for it
nah, Braum popped heal
 
9:57 PM
I meant the last auto before he jumped back to Jhin when he had like 50 health left
 
that got him down to 35 hp
then he used his W and popped heal
 
Honestly I think you played that pretty well, the Twitch made the mistake of going back in while he still had two stacks of Braum passive on him.
 
@badp Don't try to initiate with Nami's bubble. It's hard to connect (I personally feel that it's one of the hardest skillshots to hit in the game) and you lose a lot of lane presence when it's on cooldown.
 
yeah
something in my brain shortcircuited and I was like "he's totally gonna snap out of that and walk into my bubble"
 
You should also play a bit more forward, you're a little far from your carry.
When the support and carry are positioning close together like that Braum and Jhin are, you want to be forward a bit to use your W to its maximum effect.
 
10:01 PM
I've been trying to pay more attention to being more forward
 
W on Braum -> bounces to heal you -> bounces to hurt Jhin.
 
especially now that ancient coin is being dropped
do the new support items in PBE still give 0 mana regen
yup
 
No idea, I don't really pay much attention to PBE other than the occasional patch note on Reddit.
 
drop mana regen
less xp sharing
 
Oh, more laning patterns for Nami. Use E on yourself to slow a target to make it easier to land your Q.
 
10:04 PM
ADCs still want to do first back at 1300 gold
 
@badp Depends on the ADC but yeah, that BF sword buy is key.
Kai'sa, Ezreal, aaaaand Kog'Maw, I think, can back earlier.
 
and I think the bottom and mid minions give less xp too?
 
Kai'sa for Pickaxe, Ezreal for Tear, and Kog for one of the components for BotRK.
I want to say Recurve Bow?
 
2% less. It's not as big a deal as some people are making it out to be.
 
Or does Kog rush Rageblade these days?
 
10:06 PM
I'm just annoyed because the runes for mages were already all identical across the board
comet (sometimes aery). manaflow. trascendence. scorch. biscuit (rarely future's market). cosmic insight.
put that on a rune page, call it "like a third of the goddamn heroes"
 
Manaflow is just too good compared to the other options in that branch.
 
then you look at how to play warwick and he's got four different viable rune combinations
 
I know one of them is that magic damage shield and I can't recall what the other one is.
 
Same thing for ADCs. Triumph, Alacrity, Coup de grace, biscuits, magic boots on almost every single ADC. Only difference between them is which keystone
 
Nimbus Cloak?
@MageXy It's Bloodline over Alacrity these days, I think.
 
10:09 PM
Ah right
Bloodline on ADCs with natural attack speed steroids
Otherwise still Alacrity I believe
 
I think Kog'Maw takes Alacrity over Bloodline because his build starts with BotRK or has it as his second item (so he doesn't really need the lifesteal as much since he's building it early anyways) and he wants more AS for his W anyways.
Even if he had an AS steroid, he'd probably still take Alacrity.
 
but like. if you played conservative enough on mana you could trade biscuit, transcendence and spellthief for bone plating, revitalize and ancient coin
now that option is gone in more than one way
 
Bone Plating is for all-in and trades, which is kinda counter to the spellthief playstyle.
Actually, I'm crazy.
 
spellthief is kinda trash on nami anyway, her W is so expensive
 
Bone Plating is good against all-in and trades.
@badp Use E for Spellthief procs, not W.
Or just straight-up auto-attacks.
Her auto-attack range isn't half-bad, IIRC.
 
10:14 PM
but I'm super ultra trash at keeping track of the minions for the safer gold income and health items
 
I think her E is 30 mana at rank 1 and you level that spell last.
 
since they make you keep track of enemy minion health bars on top of everything else and I just can't
so anyway I guess I really oughta change roles to jungle or something. Except I'm super trash at actual fighting
 
For Targon's, I don't bother tracking minion health outside of "it's below half, I'm going to start attacking it".
Even then, I only pay attention to cannons.
Health of other minions only matters if I've taken a trade recently and need to heal up.
 
yeah, last time I told myself that I completed my quest like 20 minutes in the game
then again I'm a utterly horrid blitzcrank
so that did not help
 
Targon's is easier to track than Spellthief, imo, because you have those giant glowing orbs to tell you when you have charges.
 
10:18 PM
that braum was still at 300/500 or so at that trade in the video above
 
Spellthief might have something similar, but it's less visible to me.
 
spellthief is triggered by you applying damage on the enemy laners and towers, something you were going to do anyway
for targon you need to switch out of lane pressure mode and into "let's execute some minions"
maybe it's because I've played with the targon item for like five times in the last year
 
I suppose. I play Targon supports far more than others, maybe I'm just used to it.
 
Well with most Targon's support, they are usually threatening enough that they can afford to execute a minion. Like, as an ADC, I don't know for sure if that Alistar/Leona/Nautilus is going to try to proc a stack, or if they are merely repositioning to initiate on me.
 
Well, if Nautilus is in the middle of a wave, it's pretty safe to assume that he's not going to initiate on you.
 
10:23 PM
Depending on the ADC I'm playing and who my support is, I might just back off and let you have the stack without contesting. Or I might try to counterengage.
 
Mostly because he won't be able to.
Hey, you interested in playing Nautilus mid?
 
Me? Heck no. I ain't no Doinb haha
 
I feel like I should roam more in our games.
At the very least, I can clear some botside vision for you so the jungler can gank.
 
That's a nice thought, but trust me, the jungler won't gank haha. I don't know what it is, but for some reason I only get my team's jungler to gank me maybe once every three or four games, regardless of ward setup.
I consider it a good game if the enemy jungler decides the same thing. xD
Though it is a little easier to coordinate with a full group

Q: How to get a religion when all religions are occupied?

Michel KeijzersIn Civilization VI, how can I get a religion, while all religions are already occupied by other (computer) players? I captured a few computer player capitals, but it doesn't give me the religion. I currently have 6,911 faith points, which are quite useless as far as I can see.

 
@MageXy Or I could gank? I dunno, still working on getting better at support roaming.
 
11:04 PM
@MageXy Another day, another Doug TSM coach
also hot damn, huni's getting paid $2.3 million?
two year contract, yeah, but that's still 1 million a year
 
I'm a bit of a disaster jungler
but usually being a disaster jungler translates very poorly in ganking bottom
a 3v2 has more moving parts than a 2v1
and more CC
it's usually safer to gank the other lanes
then complain that the bottom laners don't help you take dragon
I like to rationalise it that unlocking champions poisons your ARAM pool, and that I might someday decide to play, uh, whatever viktor is, and then I'll want a skin, and the champion shard
and so I hoard
