actually the kalina household is perfectly clean and tidy at the moment
in large part to the house inspection I had last week
@skovacs1 Likely. I was just waiting for that to happen for ... half a year now?
@kalina do you feel violated?
(What sort of house inspection, anyway?)
the kind where the people who own the house make sure I haven't set fire to all the carpets, that the corpses of people I've burned alive aren't stinking up the place and that it is generally clean
Oh god post-holiday emails
Also, God Damnit.

Q: Is there a way to break through bosses' "flash block"?

oscilatingcretinWhen fighting the last bosses like Goro, Kintaro, and Shao Khan, hitting them often results in them executing some "flash block" where their body flashes white on contact. They don't even go into actual block mode. During this flash block, it seems as though they take normal physical damage, bu...

@fredley Anything that looks remotely like Alice makes me punch the screen reflexively
Could we please direct our "programming teaching efforts" at languages that are somewhat useful for desktop applications?
Python, C and derivatives ... Heck, for teaching even Java. But not friggin JavaScript out of all things.
@fredley Jesus, why JavaScript?
It's like teaching someone to fish with a stick and no thread.
@FEichinger forget the stick
09:16
Hehe, no thread
JavaScript is nice for teaching some new concepts ... to people who already know programming, but aren't necessarily firm with the functional paradigm or inheritance via prototyping.
@MartinSojka Haskell is nice for new concepts ;)
Haskell, sadly, isn't as ubiquitous as ECMAScript variants.
Critical Miss keeps critical hitting google chrome into crashing
That's interesting. Which page are you trying to view?
09:27
well I started at the first one
and then I kept clicking Next
I've definitely read more than 100 of them so far
based on the fact I read the "yay 100 comix" one about 100 ago
What is this game?
looks like ksp
probably isn't
Is most certainly not KSP.
@spyder looks like some sort of ship landing game
@kalina Well, does it work in Firefox?
09:38
what makes you think I have that aids installed on my PC?
I mean...ahem
didn't test it
@kalina same thing could be said about almost every other browser
Calling Firefox aids but using Chrome ... Yep, sounds reasonable. /s
@FEichinger I'm trying to think of a browser that spreads through some sort of computer analog of sex or bodily fluids. I'm not coming up with anything so far.
I never forgave Firefox for becoming ridiculously overkill bloatware a while back
@PrivatePansy surely the computer analog of sex would be networking
@PrivatePansy Internet Explorer kinda does that. Netscape did, too.
09:41
@kalina Since... most browser except IE comes from the internet, that would make most browsers except IE AIDS? (Oh the irony)
IE10 and above aren't bad
I... didn't say that out loud
brb, need soap
They still lag behind the others somewhat
@PrivatePansy Well, IE and forced Windows updates ...
my problem with Firefox is based upon an opinion from many years ago when it was slow and bloaty, before Google Chrome was even a thing
I haven't tested it since
@kalina Yes, scrub those fingers of your until they hurt so much you can no longer type, you filthy, filthy person. How dare you write such nonsense?
09:42
@FEichinger So you're saying it's rape?
wait, I lie, I actually use Firefox for TOR
@skovacs1 Now, barring any rape jokes involved, that seems like an accurate assessment.
@skovacs1 Next you'll be calling something literally Hitler
@FEichinger You know, it is possible to stretch an analogy too far
@PrivatePansy "surely the computer analog of sex would be networking" + forced Windows updates
@kalina It's a developer browser. Of course it's bloaty. I wouldn't call it all that slow, though. Some people just have way too high expectations regarding browser speed.
@PrivatePansy When talking about Microsoft products? Really? I don't think so.
09:44
At the time Google chrome loaded instantly
It's quite a bit slower these days
@kalina Yeah, never figured out how that happened. I never installed any new extensions on it (unlike Firefox), yet somehow it's slower now than it was before
I am one of those people who expect something to happen instantly when I click though
@PrivatePansy temp data and stuff
time to install ccleaner
Oh they added flash and stuff built into the browser too
@5pike I don't use Chrome all that much except for testing
09:46
chrome was very minimalist when it first came out
@PrivatePansy You'll be amazed how much stuff the browser safes in temp data, and never cleans up.
I hate using pcs that don't have an ssd
If I recall correctly, Chrome's speed was down to two things: a) clean slate (what with there being no years long history) and b) web caching on the Google CDS, similar to how Opera handles that.
Clicking and waiting even for a second annoys me
The former of which obviously tears it down over time, and the latter gets interestingly cluttered the more users there are.
@kalina I really don't get that ... Maybe I've been doing this for too long, but I'm very fine with what we have already done in terms of loading speeds.
09:50
@FEichinger Yeah, the slowest part of using a browser will always be the networking, which the browser vendors can't do much about
Nah I'm just a nightmare end user of the last educated kind when it comes to loading times
I don't care that it had to load a gb of data, or whatever, even though I understand the technicalities
Look what I found
Least*... Silly auto correct
The Pool of Bethesda is a pool of water in the Muslim Quarter of Jerusalem, on the path of the Beth Zeta Valley. The fifth chapter of the Gospel of John describes such a pool in Jerusalem, near the Sheep Gate, which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. It is associated with healing. Until the 19th century, there was no evidence outside of John’s Gospel for the existence of this pool; therefore, scholars argued that the gospel was written later, probably by someone without first-hand knowledge of the city of Jerusalem, and that the ‘pool’ had only a metaphorical, rather than histo...
@5pike Yes. My other picture won't upload for some reason
09:53
@kalina See, I remember a time when getting a MB of data loaded was already getting critical on the memory.
But didn't realise that was where the name came from
Or at least, the thing it came from came from.
@FEichinger yeah blah I've heard stories of getting Doom to run in 4mb of RAM
this isn't the 90s though
I don't need a skillset that includes pruning config.sys and autoexec.bat to make stuff work
I expect that when I click on something that it appears with little perceivable delay
measured in "how many times I have to blink before it appears"
so you can imagine that when I arrived at work this morning and found my PC off, I was somewhat annoyed by the 10 minutes it took to boot up and apply updates
It isn't the 90s anymore, sure. But this "little perceivable delay" is a thing of the last couple of years, and isn't magically the self-evident truth of computers.
@kalina 10 minutes O_o
We've come a long way, and childishly demanding even more right this instant (quite literally, in fact), is rather ignorant.
09:59
I know, you can't just throw more computing power at the problem to make it go away
@FEichinger oh, like I said, I understand the technicalities behind it all
I also said I don't care for them
it's certainly not ignorance
Yes it is
at least, you chose to ignore them
I think you should look up the meaning of the word "ignorance", because this conversation is heading in a direction I find hilariously ironic
accusing me of being ignorant while demonstrating ignorance over the meaning of the word ignorance
I would go with impatient, personally
You are right - ignorant is the wrong term.
I know
There has to be another word for this, though.
10:04
yeah, I'm pretty sure that impatient isn't entirely the correct word
it does cover most of the problem though
Young Guilo got suspended?
who?
doesn't sound important
@kalina ha
@kalina He was filling the drama void before I left. It seems there have been developments.
@fredley oh right, well I'm back now, we don't need more drama than the drama I provide
10:13
@fredley Sockpuppeting again. And sending over rep from puppet to main. (puppet was Dragoness)
and to celebrate being back at work (booo!).... bacon, egg and sausage baguette (yay!)
@Arperum Didn't know he'd done it a first time
@kalina I look forward to hearing how much of it you end up getting in your mouth.
you are dirty
@fredley Nor did I, but I found some chat stuff that said he got suspended for it before or something.
@kalina You say it like it's news to anybody
10:14
it should be news
@kalina @fredley is never news.
I met @fredley and he touched me inappropriately
3
motherfucker the sausage just jumped out of my baguette
Except if he finishes identify-the-game.
@Arperum How long was the ban?
@kalina Lies. You just met my sockpuppet.
@Arperum identify-this-game is nearly finished, it's just waiting on the poor sucker who is testing it to start a new game and play it all the way through to test the balancing of the fourth game
I've left it running for so long that all of the currencies are basically irrelevant at this point
2752657823 coins!
10:17
@kalina You should look up coockie clicker then, there those numbers mean nothing at all. that's just casual pocket money.
I'm still of the opinion that the last boss is unkillable
@kalina Which last boss?
@kalina Let me know what test functions you want
the last last boss
dragon
@kalina As in, all the bosses at once?
@kalina There are more after the dragon
oh right, you added more without updating the change log
10:19
@fredley I reported the fraud the 26th, think he got banned the 27th.
go figure
makes it real difficult to test
54 secs ago, by fredley
@kalina Let me know what test functions you want
also I still think the kalina boss should set fire to people
@kalina it should at least burn your browser!
@kalina Ok ok
10:20
hard enrage?
1337 seconds into the fight, you get a proper game over and have to start again
assuming you last that long
@kalina So you are 1337 enough to survive that long, but not enough to kill the boss? So just die then or something?
I don't know
@kalina Or your HD physically burns up in agony.
I'm not programming it, talk to @fredley
I just click stuff and complain a lot
3
@kalina That sounds about right.
10:23
which is pretty much the case regardless of what I'm doing
@kalina This is a mantra for life.
@fredley You don't remember this meta Q?
You know, the tag for the game will probably just be something like
no, it will be , forcefully edited back in since I need the rollback badge again
@FEichinger Oh yes
@kalina Bad news: I'm probably not going to call it because it's a stupid name
10:27
@kalina I still need that one too. But I just don't want to randomly game the system for a badge.
However I'll try and make a game at some point for which that is an appropriate name
this is a sad day
sad, sad, day
This game will just be called
Or maybe
I think identify-this-game is a valid name
@fredley is best game.
10:27
considering it has four distinct games in it
all of which have a name that can be identified
@FEichinger I did ask a question about but it got detagged

Q: How can I get my copy of Murder to play?

fredleyI've got a ROM of Rabbit Software's 1983 classic, Murder. I've got it as a .t64 file, what do I need in order to play it?

that shouldn't have been untagged
I believe it was untagged by the script before it was disabled
and should have murder re-added as a tag
@kalina I think it got pruned before the auto-pruner got pruned
see above
inb4
etc
You know, naming your game would probably create the most amount of trouble, since its a system tag, sort of
10:31
@PrivatePansy Ooooooh!
I used the word prune more times, therefore I win
oh wow, I finally found an image that correct portrays the various stages of insanity I found myself faced with when I completed Mass Effect 3
I should read this comic more often

She did however follow me out when we were finished we then went to the dawnguard to talk to the moth prie...

10:35
@PrivatePansy I should name it so that meta questions about it are impossible
don't flatter yourself, there won't be any meta questions
@kalina Yes, you should.
@kalina I wanted to play ME3, but then I saw this picture
@kalina There will be meta-questions about a game that breaks tags
@5pike no you didn't, this picture doesn't exist
I don't know how you just linked something that doesn't exist
but THIS IS NOT RELEVANT
10:40
@kalina Magic
@5pike there's no such thing as magic
@kalina then how could I link something that doesn't exist?
It's magic, I tell you
@5pike avada kedavra
@kalina NOOOOOOOOOO
@5pike You're supposed to be dead. Are you Harry Potter II or something?
10:44
the only reason he's not dead is magic doesn't exist
@kalina Obviously.
Magic doesn't work over TCP/IP, duh.
What is this, Hogwarts Kindergarten?
@fredley what's your point?
@badp It's an API for Magic (the Gathering)
MEANING YOU ARE LIES
10:46
@fredley Your face are lies
@badp LIES ARE YOU FACE
@fredley YOUR FACE IS ME
LOOK AT WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
@badp @fredley YOU ARE BOTH @STERNO
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
@badp LOOK AT YOUR FACE, LOOK AWAY, YOUR FACE IS NOW ME.
10:48
@fredley I CANNOT LOOK AT MY FACE
@badp ROTATE EYES INTO HEAD, SEEK NIRVANA
my brain, it hurts
@kalina welcome back
10:55
Ah, this feeling
@kalina why so hostile?
somebody already wrote that answer for me too
@kalina I am getting old, the text is to small so i cant read the bubble with all the text
well, it's not my problem that the best years of your existence have passed
@kalina What do you mean the best years have passed? It is great being able to ignore stuff and blame it on your age!
11:03
@Blem More glasses
Huh. After best part of 5 weeks off I was gonna ask if Kalina was back.
@fredley Yea, i properly should go see an optician
@tombull89 no I'm just a sockpuppet
@Arperum flagged
11:13
@kalina Oh yeah. Critical Miss. I remember reading that from start to what was current a little while back. The ads would often cause Chrome to not load the page.
@skovacs1 Do you have an adblocker?
@5pike No. As much as I hate the damn things, I like to support the pages I view and that's kind of their revenue stream so I just accept their presence.
@skovacs1 Alright then.

Q: Game with grabbing NPC in first person

piotrekDo you know any FPP game where I can grab body and carry them ?

11:21
@Lazers Burn
So, if @kalina is reading Critical Miss, does that mean I can go full hipster now?
@skovacs1 It is already dead.
"reading" is unfair

MeatStare @FEichinger
@FEichinger ಠ_ಠ
@fredley ಠ_ಠ
This is something that actually happened in Canada. There were just more goats.
@skovacs1 WHAT?
@skovacs1 Did it happen?
@skovacs1 At least they did good with the money
@FEichinger So day one. I thought this was already confirmed.
@fredley Indeed. They got so trolled.
@skovacs1 Trollocaust
When I noticed her carrying a knife...
I was like: "I'm making shivs and avoiding all conflict why?"
11:39
@skovacs1 yeah, that shiv mechanic was quite dumb
@5pike It keeps things interesting and tense, but it is sloppily explained and rather silly.
@skovacs1 Ingame, they look quite sturdy. Not something that would break after one use.
@5pike They last more uses once you pick up training manuals....teaching you silly things like "sharp blades cut through stuff easier" and the like,
@skovacs1 I know
It's really silly
but it has its purpose
They're in the south so maybe that's why common sense sort of flies out the window.
It has its purpose. It's just a pain when I lose large sections of time spent stealthing an area to a single tiny mistake which I often don't know how it happened. Largely because I'm trying to conserve these limited resources. If I could just knife everybody, I would be a lot less avoidy.
11:47
@skovacs1 indeed. But the game doesn't really reward you for stealth, because it throws so many resources at your face.
I almost always had full resources.
@5pike On the harder difficulties, it doesn't. At least not early on.
Don't like to replay games
At lest not when I finished it recently
@5pike I started on Normal. Got a shotgun, said "too easy" and restarted on Hard. Just traversing the backyards of Lincoln.
@skovacs1 Mhh... should have done that.
I am also grabbing the collectibles thanks to guides because I hate scouring every area for random shit hidden on street lamps and crap. When I go for my other playthroughs (Survivor and +), I don't want to have to fuss with that nonsense.
11:53
@skovacs1 I never bother with them. Achievements are useless and not worth my time.
@5pike I'm an achievement whore and also a completionist. To get all the in-game unlocks, you need to do all that achievement stuff anyways.
@skovacs1 To each his own.
The last game I completely finished was FF7
After I looked at the amount of time invested, I swore to myself that I never do this again.

Q: cant install fifa 13 on my laptop

devanshI asked this question earlier that I am not able to install fifa 13 on my laptop. I have it installed on my pc. But when I tried installing it on my laptop it asks for cd key and when I entered that it says cd key is already been used as it is installed on my pc. When I asked last time someone to...

@5pike I was choked at the end of that one. Original PC version. Played all the way through. All to max level. All final equipment. Full sets of all materia mastered thrice (one for each active party slot). All sidequests. At least one of everything in inventory. Theoretically grabbed every treasure in existence. Finished the cakewalk that it was. It crashed early on in the final movie. Tried again - same. Re-installed - same. Tried playing video file. Corrupt.
I contacted support, but since I'd had the game 6 months or some ludicrous reason, they wouldn't provide any kind of support. I went to a friend and played the final fight on his PS version and watched the final video then.

The internet is full of cats today
@fredley how is this different from always since the dawn of the internet?

@skovacs1 Minecraft is the only tag with a gold tag badge to its name
This site is primarily for asking and answering questions about Minecraft
All other games are incidental
Ask more questions!
@fredley rather proud of that aren't you?
@Arperum Yes
@fredley Now someone tells me. I've never played minecraft in my life and what little I know of it is from derivative works like Terraria. I guess I am expected to leave Arqade then?
@skovacs1 Yes.
12:34
@skovacs1 leave your keys by the door.
@skovacs1 You shall play the Game and ask Questions about the only Worthy Game.
@skovacs1 Or leave to never return here until you have fullfilled your destiny.
@FEichinger But I have no time! I must play more .

Q: What does the Power Save option do on 3DS consoles?

KingJIf I go in to the brightness control on my 3DSXL, I see that there is a "Power-Saving Mode" that can be turned on or off. Presumably this reduces the power consumption of 3DS consoles, but how does it achieve it and how much of a boost in battery life does it yield?

CC @kalina
> Mighty No. 9 is being developed for the PC with gamepad support (of course!), and will be made available through Steam and DRM-free digital distribution methods. Other platforms, including home consoles, Mac, and Linux, are a high priority, but only if we can afford them via stretch goals. Should we reach those goals, anyone funding the project will be allowed to choose which version of the game they would like to receive. The estimated release date is spring 2015.
