Q: Who are the hosts on Wheel of Fortune on the Nintendo Switch edition?

DJ Spicy DeluxeOn the Wii version of Wheel of Fortune, the hosts were Pat Sajak and Savannah White, just like (most of) the real show. The hosts on the Switch edition seem to be different. The man is definitely not Pat Sajak, the woman doesn't have any voice lines but I do not believe she is meant to be Savanna...

RobbieI've been playing For Honor and I noticed that you can get your perks above 600 limit. I assumed this would make the perk stronger but when I went into Perk Definitions it only said they needed to be at 600 to be activated. So does getting a perk higher than 600 change anything?

@GodEmperorDune did they like mess up how Twitter determine if your browsing on a mobile or not or something?
@PrivatePansy did not think of that
would make Mecha Saber a Savior lol
@Memor-X no they're rolling out a new layout
@Unionhawk god fucken dam it! i just created a selenium script to autodownload images
I think there are extensions to kill the "give me the new layout please" cookie
but eventually it'll probably flip completely
@Unionhawk yeh that's more what i'm complaining about
i have my image downloaded and Twitter RSS Generator that'll need to be upgraded
hopefully the changes aren't too drastic that the CSS Selectors aren't fully reusable
@Memor-X ... twitter has an API too you know
Why not just use that? :p
12:24 PM
@Kevin limits
reason why i'm not using TwitRSS anymore
What limits are you running into? o.o
@Kevin not myself but i have read that Twitter limited how many transactions you can make and you need to register your app. my method requires no logging in and looks at the page as if it's any other user access the page
Yeah there's a limit, you're probably not gonna run into it
For a personal use thing? Rather unlikely
I've hit it browsing mobile.twitter.com
like, routinely
Huh
@Ave ahhh i see. lol who would have thought browser incompatibility would be a good thing
@Wipqozn I'm actually curious how the system handles less than 3 candidates. Does it still let you click "third choice"?
@Unionhawk That's a good question. We came so close to finding out too.
I mean technically speaking there's no difference between a "Candidate 1, Candidate 2, Blank" ballot and a "Candidate 1, Blank, Candidate 2" ballot in STV
so I guess it doesn't matter
(there is a difference in other ranked choice methods, like borda count)

@Kevin A what thing?
Not-horrible twitter replacement, based on open standards
@Ave Why'd @Kevin call it "fediverse" and not mastodon?
Ave
Ave
alternatively pleroma.social
@Yuuki because there's other things like pleroma
and misskey, gnu social etc
Also mostly because I couldn't remember the specific name
That's mostly it <,<
Ave
Ave
1:10 PM
I personally use pleroma on my fediverse server, p.a3.pm
something about instances can federate with each other or something no I don't completely understand what that means
Ave
Ave
@Unionhawk yeah. Basically it's like email
you can be on gmail or hotmail or yahoo or yourowncoolemailserver.example, and you can send emails between them, and they'll arrive and send just fine (unless they bounce but that's not relevant)
Similarly, you can send a toot/status/whatever on mastodon.social and it'll be visible on p.a3.pm, and I can interact with it from p.a3.pm (reply, fav, boost, vote on poll etc), and you'll be able to see it
similarly everyone else federating with me or mastodon.social will see that toot/status/whatever and my interaction.
the main point is that you can have sites that are small, but can interact with a larger community
this allows instances with different goals, different rules etc
And it allows moderation to usually work perfectly
You can file a report or contact an instance owner, and they'll take care of problematic content in a timely fashion, as they usually only have couple hundred people to look over at most.
@Memor-X Hah! Heavyarms Saber.
Ave
Ave
this also means that there's shitty instances, yes, most notably gab (which recently moved to their own broken af mastodon fork)
But one good part is that you can block them.
here's my blocklist for example fediverse.network/p.a3.pm/federation
@Ave oh, gab was federated? I thought it was intended to be an inbred, insular place by design
1:21 PM
@Ave i see iGoogle is on that list. oh how i missed it
Ave
Ave
@Kevin they very recently moved to it
Ah
Ave
Ave
they're federated-ish, but many many many people block them
and some apps just show a rickroll when people try to login to gab.com
I have no ideeeeaaa why any one would block those proud boys

Q: Can I transfer Starbound Worlds from one character to another?

@Unionhawk What games can be played? Games of skill like Blackjack, where the cards can be counted, are different from games of chance like the slots, which are entirely luck-based, in regard to legality.
4:14 PM
@Tonepoet Is blackjack officially a game of skill? I can't remember which way casinos have been trying to argue it.
Not to mention, you can rig a virtual blackjack implementation to completely nullify card counting.
Casinos generally don't re-shuffle the deck after every round because it wastes time but you could do that in a virtual implementation with very little time lost.
@Yuuki sort of. It's always in the houses favour though
@Yuuki That's what I've heard, although perhaps I am not so sure myself. There is precedence for Poker being a game of skill though, so the general point may still stand.
Poker is definitely a game of skill
@Tonepoet I think for virtual blackjack, it's more of a game of chance though. You can easily shuffle after every hand, which negates the advantage of card counting skill, as Fisher-Yates is an O(n) shuffling algorithm.
You don't even need a shuffling algorithm. You can start from a 52-length array and use an RNG to pull cards from it for every hand.
Card counting generates advantages over multiple hands so it's far less effective (to the point where it's useless) if you have to start over with each hand.
4:36 PM
@Yuuki Of course, the game doesn't have to be programmed to start over if card counting skill is considered legally advantageous, and while the currency can be bought for real world money, I would suppose that it can't be redeemed for real world items. In that respect, there is less incentive to limit the ability of players to cheat the system. It might also be important because the purchase of the tokens could just be considered a D.L.C. purchase like any other D.L.C. purchase.
If you buy the opportunity to play, but there is no prize, can it really be considered gambling?
@Tonepoet Politicians would say yes.
Gambling addicts would say yes.
I guess the equivalent for this case would be "Can Chuck E. Cheese offer blackjack and poker if you're only ever rewarded with tickets that you can't exchange back for real-money?"
user15026
@Ave most things are pretty good! I survived my on call week this month, on Friday me and World Engineer are going to look at an apartment which is pretty exciting
And given that Dave & Buster (which is basically grown-up Chuck E. Cheese) doesn't offer blackjack or poker as far as I know, I think the answer is "no".
@Ash Looking for a bigger place or just a place both of you can call your own (or both)?
4:39 PM
@Yuuki They offer other games that are worse though. Those light wheel things are rigged.
@Tonepoet the video suggests it includes virtual horse racing, roulette, slots, 3 card poker (?), some other wheel spin game, things of that nature
@Nzall Regulators, it turns out, would say no.

@Unionhawk Yeah Sea of Thieves on PC was the first game I played with Game Pass.
Though that's more a quirk of Sea of Thieves being "Xbox Play Anywhere" then Game Pass for PC existing at the time.
@SaintWacko They've done a lot of updates over the last year, but it's still an incredible thin (read 3-7 hour) experience.
So perfect for Game Pass really.

If not to maintain stealth, just to have good table manners.
