Q: In survival, how many chunks away from a mob spawner do i have to be for it to work?

jimmy jhonIn survival, I am having issues with my XP grinder. They are a chunk away from each other and the killing floor is not in the same chunk as either of them. I do not know how far away I possibly can be for mobs to spawn into the system. I know there is no rep on this question, but I'm kinda raw cu...

Bridge, send good thoughts my way.
 
@Frank Done. What's up?
 
I had another seizure.
 
Oh wow holy shit, that's not good.
Do you have a long history of them, or is it just a recent thing?
 
Only my second.
 
Well hopefully it's just a temporary thing, or something you can treat.
 
12:40 AM
I will likely be on anti-convulsent meds for a while.
 
Well I hope it helps mate
 
12:57 AM
@Frank oh no! As bad as last time (injuries), or more contained?
 
user15026
Consider the good thoughts yours. Here's hoping the medication helps
 
@TrentHawkins More contained. No broken bones this time.

Q: How to use mix-match types of controllers with different types of systems

MCAydenBirdI want to see how I can (if possible) use an Xbox One controller on a PS4/PS3/Switch/etc. or vice versa. It's so I can practice certain games on PS4/PS3/Switch/etc. with an Xbox One controller that I can't play on Xbox One. (or vice versa). Someone plz help me?

Q: Apex Legends constantly starts in Windowed mode, despite setting the option to Fullscreen?

senpaiI honestly can't tell what's happening here. Everytime I quit and launch the game it sets me on windowed mode, no matter what. I've set the settings to Fullscreen only, and even Borderless Window, but it keeps pushing me back to Windowed upon launching the game again.

Q: What will I lose functionality of if Usage Sharing is turned off?

Morning @Kevin
I just had to call the insurance company about my travel insurance because the courier lost it (yay)
Also agh I saw a really funny image earlier and I just can't stop laughing
 
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmormrrmorromrmrormrgnenmormno
 
Ave
this is the image. it's not that funny, but I can't stop laughing at it anyways.
it's worse as I have to describe it for the alt text for the fake cryptocoin website I'm making
 
10:35 AM
@Ave Obviously you should have bought the courier travel insurance too
 
Ave
lol
 
Had I already mentioned my company relocated over the holidays?
 
Possibly! I didn't know though
 
Like, I was on the way home from my vacation in Spain, when I suddenly get a call from my boss saying "we had a last-minute decision to relocate, which we did sometime around Christmas". Apparently where we used to be located wouldn't give a counteroffer to the deal we got and thus we relocated to a new office building in the center of Mechelen
For me at least, it's been a lot easier to get to work now, because I no longer need to do a 20 minute wait while I transfer to another bus
 
Fun fun
Well good that it worked out for you =p
 
10:43 AM
Now I just walk 30 minutes to the station every day, so I have about an hour of exercise every day
A lot easier than walking 15 minutes to the bus stop, then riding the bus for 20 minutes, then waiting for another 20-30 minutes (and sometimes longer if the bus wouldn't show up), then another 10 minutes on the bus
Now it's just walking 30 minutes to the station, waiting on my train in a heated room for 10 minutes, riding the train for another 10-15 minutes, then walking to the office for another 5
So instead of being underway for 1h30, I'm now at work in 1 hour
 
Ave
You know that the PDF you're looking for is obscure when you can't find a copy of it online
actually wait found one
 
@Nzall Nice!
 
@Ave there is a lot to unpack here
 
My last job did basically that except in reverse, IIRC I went from half an hour to roughly an hour travel?

@Moacir New personal best!
 
@PrivatePansy I am not a competitive person but I want to keep beating this
 
Somewhat relevant, I found this library today coincidentally github.com/daniel-lundin/dom-confetti
I shall now apply this to all my projects
 
@PrivatePansy Combine this with github.com/instantpage/instant.page

Seriously though, it's an incredible photo of the moon
 
@fredley None of the larger images will load

@Moacir nicely done! confetti cannon
 
Soon I'll make my thirtieth lap around the daystar :o
 
1:59 PM
@Ash ikr. I was like 'How great could a photo of the moon be?'
 
Also RIP @Arperum
 
@Kevin Is daystar from anything?
 
RIP @arp
 
@Ronan it's relatively common? I think
 
See also: Morning Star

@fredley Ha, that image is actually 9k by 9k pixels. RIP mobile data
 
It's imgur though so it shouldn't be thaaaaat big?
 
@PrivatePansy 1.5MB, not the end of the world
 
Basically black and white images with looooots of black compress pretty well
 
As in, smaller than the Javascript payload for a lot of websites

2:08 PM
@Moacir also, oh hey, we are the same age! I turn 32 in August
 
I'm currently emptying my Windows recycling bin. over 500,000 files, over 16 GB in total. It's deleting at a rate of 1-2K files per second. prediction is it'll take 5 minutes in total
though the remaining time prediction is going up and down like crazy
@Kevin Hang on, Arperum is dead?
 
I turn 32 in October
@Arperum died... 19 days ago
 
Really? I didn't hear about it
 
@Ash Sometimes do you get that feeling of "Look at my age, I totally should have accomplished more than what I have"? I mean. I know I am pretty fine with what I did, but there is this invisible pressure of "You are not doing enough"
 
@fredley I can't find anything about his death in the star list
 
2:20 PM
@Nzall He's been offline for 19 days, anyone not currently here is dead
 
We need some... sort... of...... Death Star List
4
 
we'll have to have contractors build it, because union labour would never consent to a ... oh a list, not a Death Star
 
@Ronan I die every weekend
 
@Moacir rip in pieces
 
user15026
@Moacir oh yes. All the time. One of my big like...self improvement projects is learning to breathe through those feelings and find contentment with where I am, while also working to do more in ways that actually make me feel good for myself.
 
2:30 PM
 
@Yuuki Ow
 
@Ronan no no, if your name stops autocompleting you're officially declared dead, otherwise you're just MIA

@Moacir Space station 13?
 
skyward sword 2013
 
@Wipqozn Yep
 
super sayan 13
oh
 
I have been playing on tgstation, and for some coding I had to test it locally, and realized how easy is to setup a custom server
It would be funny to play with everyone
 
2:57 PM
@Moacir In which case no
 
Aw
 
That's one of those games that seems fun, but the learning curve and time investment is just too high.
 
Yep
I usually just play as borg, assistant, or station engineer
Every other job has way too many responsibilities that I cannot handle yet
It is pretty fun, but without the wiki open, you cant do anything
 
@Moacir Games like that are annoying.
I added a couple of Darkest Dungeon mods for exactly this reason.
The key part of Darkest Dungeon for me is resource management. So when I come across a curio, the challenge is that I should decide whether to use a resource to make it safe, risk a bad outcome, or just skip it.
I don't need the added "challenge" of figuring out what's the right resource to use.
 
3:14 PM
@Moacir ... it took me a bit to remember that it's not an adult game, despite the only other people I know that play it, play it on an adult server.
@MattE.Эллен your own name never comes up no
 
@Kevin wat
 
@badp Yup!
I'd tell more but uuh well, SFW chat site!
 
@Kevin I'm dead to me

3:31 PM
But are you also dead inside?
 
like the ashen wastes of a post-apocalyptic mall
nah, I'm good, really :D
 
@Lazers2.0 frogger?
 
@MattE.Эллен Wanna feel even more dead inside? Did you know that Suicide Squad has won more Oscars than The Shawshank Redemption?
 
@Yuuki lolwhut? but... did they even watch Suicide Squad?
 
@MattE.Эллен 1994 was a banner year for movies.
 
3:35 PM
that says a lot about 2017
 
Suicide Squad won costume design while Shawshank Redemption had to compete with Forrest Gump, Pulp Fiction, and Lion King.
 
oh, well I can kinda see that
 
Correction, Makeup & Hairstyling not Costume Design.
There wasn't a lot of competition in Makeup & Hairstyling.
 
and I mean yeah that one seems valid
idk
 
The other nominees were A Man Called Ove and Star Trek Beyond.
The fact that Forrest Gump came out in the same year as The Shawshank Redemption really screwed over the latter's Oscar chances.
With other films, Shawshank could've at least won on Best Adapted Screenplay.
But of course, Forrest Gump was a book adaptation too.
And of course, you're fighting an uphill battle to beat Disney on Original Score (especially when they're working with Hans Zimmer).
 
3:45 PM
yyyy-mm-dd is great and all
except for the part where you say date > 2019-01-18
and the computer understands date > 2000
so can we switch to, I dunno, yyyy_mm_dd instead
thanks
 
@badp MM-DD-YYYY?
 
expanding brain: yyyy-MM-dd
dd/MM/yyyy
MM/dd/yyyy
yyyy_MM_dd
with honorable mention going to date formats using mm as in minutes instead of months
 
@Dragonrage (points up finger) watch my finger (points finger to door) get out
 
@badp I need you to confirm something for me.
 
this is correct
 
3:50 PM
@badp date comparison to an integer? what is this? madness?
 
@MattE.Эллен a missed syntax error
had we used yyyy_mm_dd I'd have written 2019_01_18 and then any flavour of SQL would've been like "wtf"
 
which ISO committee do we need to blame?
 
all of them

So I'm thinking about making a costume for this Halloween. Does melting aluminum foil give off hazardous vapors?
 
5:20 PM
@Yuuki Can you share your idea?
 
@Yuuki ಠ_ಠ
 
@Moacir tl;dr making armor from aluminum
 
Why melt it? I mean, it is already pretty maleable
 
I already have a small anvil and making a small foundry in my backyard is pretty simple.
 
I don't think you can work with aluminum in that way
 
5:22 PM
@Moacir Yeah but foil is really thin and crinkly and layering it doesn't get rid of the wrinkles.
 
@Yuuki You can always use enough aluminum cans and make it a plate armor
Or even make it cardboard and just cover it with aluminum
Even silver spraypaint

@Moacir My brain is functioning. It took out some muscles in the process of malfunctioning, though.
That'll take a bit longer.
 
 
I see. Good thoughts on your way @Frank.
 
@Yuuki probably, or at the very least don't get nonstick
it's probably somewhere between not at all and not your best bet though
 
6:15 PM
@Yuuki yes
i mean it probably wont kill you
but youll still be inhaling aluminum
 
just get an n or p 95 and then wonder why you didn't just do this with foam or something instead
 
@Yuuki you could just use the anvil and hammer to smash some aluminum sheets together, rather than melting it
if done right, it should have a minimum amount of wrinkles
either way, I think you'll need a lot of aluminum foil and it's probably not going to be very cheap, if you're trying to make it thick enough to be like armor
