Ben Brocka

> During development of the PlayStation 4 hardware, Sony went through a number of different models for the DualShock 4 controller, including one that sensed players' stress through sweaty hands, lead architect Mark Cerny told Stuff.tv.

badp

that would've been cool

Ben Brocka

13:38

@fbueckert Might be too late for that. They have the license for the current model and probably won't update to a new version until next gen, or at the earliest, halfway through this gen or later. But two models of Kinect would sort of screw with the whole "everyone has a kinect, for sure" promise they gave to devs

So as long as they can keep making the current one they're probably pretty safe

Surprised MS was contracting that out though, I would have thought it'd be all in-house or a company they aquired

badp

They could've acquired the know-how and moved the production in-house

fbueckert

@BenBrocka Yeah, ditto.

It's not like them to leave critical aspects hanging.

Ben Brocka

@badp they still need the license to make new stuff though I assume, since they licensed the tech

If they made their own they might be violating patents. And it'd be hard to claim "oh no, totally original work" when they were JUST licensing those patents for the last model

badp

well they might have to change the name? perhaps?

oh well we'll see

Ben Brocka

My understanding is the company Apple wants to buy is behind the tech, MS owns the name

fbueckert

13:43

iKinect.

Or, if they want to get snarky, iConnect.

Ben Brocka

More like iMove

@Powerlord The idea was that I wrote it for myself and shared it for others. I expected others to point out "oh hey yeah there's a webpage that does all this for you AND picks the best guess every time with some clever algorythm"

or "This does the same but picks up a best guess automatically by maximizing the minimum amount of guesses remaining after picking a choice"

@Powerlord Just because we're on A Gaming site doesn't mean you can't post answers that make use of non-gaming resources to solve a problem.

There's a wasp in my room. Apparently I'm terrified of wasps. I did not know this.

or "There's no need to because you can actually guess the answer correctly every time by doing this entirely different thing"

... or "pick any, if it's wrong exit and re-enter the terminal, repeat until lucky." Though no idea if it works in F:NV still.

@Wipqozn Do I need to point out that said answer would be... wait, what replaced Too Localized again?

fbueckert

@Powerlord Custom off-topic reasons.

It turns out it's a bee, this isn't any better.

fredley

@Ullallulloo Needs more Harry Partridge

Ullallulloo

Relevant even though I don't find it that funny.

fredley

@RonanForman My briefcase full of bees ought to put a stop to that!

Ronan Forman

I want to point out this bee is huge.

Martin Sojka

@RonanForman Bees are harmless. Wasps need a good smacking, followed by crushing while they writhe in pain on the floor.

Wipqozn

@fredley I refuse to watch that video on the grounds it'll result in my looping it for 15 minutes.

fredley

@Wipqozn This is already happening here

badp

@MartinSojka It works but I wanted to actually hack something to get it right, if possible, every time at the first go

Powerlord

But anyway, the point I was making that posting an answer that most people won't be able to use is definitely too localized.

It's quite early in the game but there's no need to brute force so far

fredley

This is what I use

Ben Brocka

@RonanForman Bees want to protect their hives. Wasps just want to fuck your shit up

fredley

It's excellent

badp

@Powerlord you're applying a defunct close reason to an answer. This is roughly as competent as those "Use the force, Mickey. --Gandalf, The Three Musketeers" images

Martin Sojka

As a kid, I once stepped into a wasp hive in the forest. This was followed by me screaming and running away a lot. Since then, I just smack every wasp I see hard before they can even so much as think about attacking me.

fredley

@fbueckert How do we know?

Martin Sojka

They can't get their sting fast enough out if you do it properly, and if the wasp survives, it knows better than to come back.

fbueckert

@fredley I'm making an educated guess.

Because there can't be two ten-year olds in the whole wide world!

Ullallulloo

I got stung by a bee for the first time Friday.

Q: Do various shield skills scale with armor and resistances?

Do skills like Forcefield and Aegis of Fate scale with defensive stats such as your armor rating and elemental resistances?

Q: How do you get out of hell in TaskMaker?

In the classic Mac Game TaskMaker when your character dies, you get sent to a special 'hell' level. It seems impossible to escape from it. Is this intentional ? Or is there a way to resuscitate ?

@Lazers Dupe

Private Pansy

For @Fluttershy, because Fluttershy is adorable

Ullallulloo

@PrivatePansy That doesn't look like a pony at all. It's just creepy.

Wipqozn

@PrivatePansy Who is that supposed to be?

A fluttershy'd version of someone.

@Wipqozn Short mane Fluttershy

Okay guys, I just left my house, went to Arby's, got food, drove to work, and sat down to eat. AND THERE HAS ONLY BEEN ONE MESSAGE ON THE BRIDGE SINCE THEN

You all fail.

Wipqozn

@Sterno We didn't want to have any fun without you.

fbueckert

@Sterno You haven't paid your entertainment tax.

Sterno

I don't think you can have fun without me. I am the fun generator.

fbueckert

Huh. The movie of Ender's Game isn't out yet. That might explain why the studio is reaching out to the LGBT community that Card's completely alienated.

badp

I added a little more code to my answer so that it technically answers the question

Sterno

WTF, the Cravin Chicken sandwich tastes like a chicken's bunghole.

badp

It checks every password against every other password against every other password. :D

@Sterno I wrote that one message! I no fail.
