Arperum

13:00

If possible.

Wipqozn

@Arperum I've been done school since august.

Also my last term of school consisted one bird course.

Arperum

@Wipqozn Then you've had some break already.

Wipqozn

The ceremony is just today.

FEichinger

@kalina Well ... you could be chatting about it after the fact.

What with it being way past morning already.

13:02

@JourneymanGeek Boring, but it's basically the one thing that's impossible to swap out in a system without completely obliterating all existing software, so it's quite important to keep it

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Wipqozn Graduating is overrated. Jobs are overrated. The Real World is a cold unwelcome place that will eat you alive and destroy your childlike spirit and sense of wonder. Death is coming. Soon, there will be only oblivion.

Sterno

You kids and your innuendos.

FEichinger

And here comes @Sternold.

Wipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh god I'm going to become @LessPop_MoreFizz.

Sterno

@wipqozn counterpoint: now you make money instead of just spending it. Money buys happiness!

Wipqozn

13:03

@FEichinger It's funny because he's old.

FEichinger

@Wipqozn That is inevitable. For ~~all of us~~ ~~most of us~~ nah, just you.

Arperum

@Wipqozn Ah yea, that way. I knew on the first of july 2012 that I graduated, and started on the second july. The ceremony/reception thingy for it was somewhere around this time last year.

Wipqozn

@Sterno Correct.

kalina

now @Sterno is active, the average age of active chatters on the bridge just doubled

Unionhawk

In this day of The Bridge: Star bait from literally everyone but @kalina is denied. What else is new?

kalina

13:06

@Unionhawk I haven't star baited today

Sterno

I can't help it if chat is full of Bieber-loving teenie boppers

Unionhawk

@kalina Lies

kalina

@Sterno this is an unprecedented level of insult

FEichinger

@Sterno Now, that was a low blow to @kalina.

Arperum

@Sterno Lies.

kalina

13:06

regardless of how hateful things get you should never accuse somebody of actually liking Bieber

3

tombull89

@Sterno hng.

loko

I do actually agree GTA V is a good game

kalina

oh no, ~~(s)he's~~ ~~it's~~ they're back

Arperum

@kalina @Sterno See, at least four people took offence.

FEichinger

@kalina singular "they".

Arperum

13:07

@FEichinger Definitely it.

kalina

@FEichinger thanks

@Arperum offence, obviously

loko

GTA V is better than GTA IV

kalina

I think, secretly, @Sterno loves Justin Bieber, and he knows it's a terrible thing to do, so diverts attention away from himself by accusing others of liking Bieber

Arperum

@kalina I can't type, write nor speake any language at all.

kalina

@Arperum do you communicate in grunts?

Unionhawk

13:09

@kalina (obligatory) offense*

FEichinger

@kalina Any time. Spreading the wisdom that is the singular they is one of my favourite activities.

5pike

@loko Is that a question, or a statement?

Arperum

@kalina Mostly non-coherent sounds, grunts are part of it.

kalina

@Unionhawk offence*

Arperum

@5pike Trolling attempt.

FEichinger

13:10

@Unionhawk offenze because it makes no sense at all.

Unionhawk

@kalina If I woke up any more than 3 minutes ago, I would probably care to continue this.

loko

@5pike Statement

tombull89

@loko Not played V so I can't make a judgement.

kalina

@Unionhawk if I hadn't already googled it, found the entry on OED, and confirmed I was right, so would I

Arperum

@tombull89 It's not released yet, so you can't make a proper judgement until it is.

Unionhawk

13:11

@kalina Nope.

kalina

@Unionhawk OED DOESN'T LIE

EVEN THOUGH IT BELIEVES WE'RE AMERICANS NOW

NUCLEAR LAUNCH DETECTED

loko

@tombull89 Trust me its' better

tombull89

I've played Just Cause 2 Multiplayer with over 1500 players on one server so GTA Online's 16 is a bit...meh.

Unionhawk

@kalina Well, if it believed that, it would know that offense was correct, as it is one of those american things

kalina

It's offence.

Offense or Offence (see -ce/-se) may refer to:
Offence or Crime, a violation of penal law
Offense (sports), the action of engaging an opposing team with the objective of scoring

Powerlord

13:13

@fredley Stop being normal.

Arperum

@tombull89 That must be awesome.

tombull89

@Arperum awesome and very, very mental

5pike

@tombull89 Death and destruction everywhere?

Arperum

@tombull89 Was pvp/friendly fire possible?

tombull89

@5pike Lots

Arperum

13:17

@tombull89 Raining planes?

tombull89

@Arperum It's all PVP apart from race and derby modes.

@Arperum Raining and flying planes, yes (one of the devs wrote a boost script which...made things a lot worse)

5pike

@tombull89 Are there set teams, or just a huge free-for-all?

Arperum

@tombull89 How much of an NPC presence was there?

tombull89

@5pike It's mainly a free-for-all with factions (groups) can be created. It's LUA-based so one of the community is making a "Faction wars" gametype

@Arperum Nil. No NPCs.

Arperum

@tombull89 Oh. SO just the Just cause island with respawning airplanes/cars/tanks?

What about the destructables?

Unionhawk

13:20

@kalina ...IS EVERYTHING I KNOW A LIE?

tombull89

I have a YouTube playlist of my antics youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqkRg0wwfBhozTB2kHjKEiNQ7xzUvTSMo

kalina

@Unionhawk you're an American, so... probably

Unionhawk

@kalina dammit

tombull89

@Arperum Yes, there's a lot of vehcile spawns. You can blow oil tanks, destrucatables up OK.

Course at Panau International (main airport) and the Mile High Club (flying nightclub) it's always very, very busy.

There's a ton of videos on YouTube of past tests.

fbueckert

Good morning, Bridge

5pike

13:22

@fbueckert Hi

FEichinger

@fbueckert Birdge?

Arperum

@tombull89 Just go get some military airplane in some remote base and fuck everyone at Panau international up.

fbueckert

@FEichinger It's already fixed. Quiet, you!

FEichinger

@fbueckert You might wanna check the KSP reddit.

fbueckert

@FEichinger Eh? I don't usually check reddit at all.

tombull89

13:25

@Arperum There's always a couple of strafing runs going on. I've seen multiple in-air collisions.

FEichinger

@fbueckert reddit.com/r/kerbalspaceprogram

fbueckert

Ooh. .22 Experimental is being pushed out.

Arperum

@tombull89 My next suggestion would be attacking the Panau attackers.

FEichinger

@fbueckert The official announcement is set for later today. That's all I'm allowed to say. :P

Arperum

@FEichinger Beta tester or some other way to inside information?

tombull89

13:29

@Arperum Air-to-air combat in planes is very fiddly due to keyboard controls. Feel awesome when you shoot someone down though.

xD

Michael Dunfield

Gas Guzzlers Extreme on Steam in four hours!

Too bad I can't buy it right away...

Unionhawk

Arg... this class had better end early enough for me to get lots of caffeine before the next

Michael Dunfield

@tombull89 Does the hot air balloon still work?

Arperum

@MichaelDunfield Good morning @GnomeSlice

Michael Dunfield

@Arperum Heya.

FEichinger

13:30

@Arperum Forums Moderator, so, yes, NDA.

kalina

I wish @GnomeSlice was still here

tombull89

@MichaelDunfield It's not in-game, no :( they had issues with syncing it across games. same issue with NPCs.

Michael Dunfield

@tombull89 Nooooooooooooooooooo =[

Arperum

@MichaelDunfield I haven't even found it yet... I really should play Just cause 2 again.

tombull89

@MichaelDunfield They do have the DLC. Hovercraft races are fun

Michael Dunfield

13:31

@Arperum I managed to get four of them at once a couple days ago.

If you fly away a bit and then come back it respawns.

Arperum

Just as this whole other list of games I still have to finish and or play.

Michael Dunfield

@tombull89 Ooooooo awesome. Can you use the parachute thrusters?

Or the air gun?

tombull89

I think it's weapon and vehicle DLC only

saying that the air gun is pretty funny

Michael Dunfield

It supports it? That would be hilarious

Blowing everybody around

►

tombull89

I'm a Beta-tester for the mod, so the private tests have some thing you don't have in the main mod yet, air gun is one of them).

Arperum

13:36

@MichaelDunfield One day I'll ask you to find me a pefectly fitting job opening at some game developer and you'll send me one in less then a minute.

Michael Dunfield

@Arperum Heh.

Also sorry for the shitty quality in that video.

OrigamiRobot

OH NO I MADE IT TO WORK BUT I FORGOT THE PANTS PART

Michael Dunfield

I was attempting to stream it when it was recorded.

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot I hate it when that happens

fredley

@Powerlord ...

5pike

13:37

@OrigamiRobot Since when do you need pants for work?

Powerlord

@fredley Hey, you said everyone was being normal.

@5pike May be he doesn't, being a robot, but most of us do.

5pike

@Powerlord If you can't do your work without pants, you are doing something wrong.

Powerlord

@5pike I can, but I think my coworkers would object.

Unionhawk

@5pike You just need to find a workplace that respects your freedoms, man

OrigamiRobot

@5pike It's not for doing the work, it's so others don't stare.

Powerlord

13:40

Actually, I doubt security would even let me in the building without pants

Unionhawk

@Powerlord "...sir, what the hell are you doing?"

Arperum

@5pike If a beekeeper would do his job without pants he'd be doing something wrong. Same for people working in nuclear plants.

Private Pansy

> Note: add_option uses get_option to determine whether the option already exists, and since get_option returns false as the default value, if you set an option to false in the database (e.g. via update_option($option_name, false)), then a subsequent call to add_option will change the value, because it will seem to add_option that the option does not exist.

5pike

Pants are overrated.

Private Pansy

Can WordPress get any dumber?

Powerlord

13:41

Besides which, it was only 40F/4C outside when I came into work this morning.

Arperum

@PrivatePansy Probably. I'm sure one of us will find out. I have to set up some wp site too >_>

Powerlord

Well, probably higher than that as my indoor/outdoor thermometer at home isn't always the best.

Private Pansy

The options API can't distinguish between a value that exist which is set to false and a non-existant value

Powerlord

Still too cold to go pantsless.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Pantless @OrigamiRobot is best @OrigamiRobot.

Powerlord

13:42

@PrivatePansy Was it written by Oracle?

Private Pansy

How did they not figure this out, for, of all things, an options API?

Arperum

@Wipqozn My brain decided that this is open for interpretations.

Michael Dunfield

Darkest Dungeon Explores The Stress And Mental Issues That Arise From Relentless Dungeon Crawling

►

Private Pansy

@Powerlord It might as well be, except it's in PHP and not Java

Powerlord

and here I thought Oracle treating "" and NULL the same for VARCHAR fields was stupid.

OrigamiRobot

13:43

@Wipqozn All of my greatest achievements in life have been sans pants.

Private Pansy

Depending on who you ask that may or may not be a good thing

OrigamiRobot

At the top of that list: Being born.

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot Robots are not born.

OrigamiRobot

Don't talk to me like you know me!

Private Pansy

@Arperum Famous last words, I know

Arperum

13:44

@OrigamiRobot They get assembled. Or folded in case of being made of Origami.

OrigamiRobot

@Arperum I'm sorry your puny human/pony brain cannot comprehend such complexities.

Private Pansy

For that matter, why in the wide wide world would the get_option function return false in case of option not found when false clearly can exist as a legitimate value?

FEichinger

@PrivatePansy Because exception handling is unheard of in PHP.

Michael Dunfield

This looks very interesting

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot It has been proven multiple times that I am a robot. Up to the point where I'm going to have to accept it.

FEichinger

13:46

Well, was, at any rate. Now it's implemented workingly-ish.

Arperum

@PrivatePansy Since false was a better choice then true?

Unionhawk

@Arperum You just wish you were as cool as @OrigamiRobot

OrigamiRobot

@Arperum None of that has anything to do with what I said.

Powerlord

So, I was wondering if I can throttle one of my coworkers.

Unionhawk

@Powerlord Yes

Arperum

13:48

@OrigamiRobot If I am a robot I am known with how one come to be, and being born is not part of that.

fbueckert

@Powerlord You can, if you don't mind going to jail afterwards.

Unionhawk

Screw the consequences. They probably deserve it.

5pike

@Powerlord You can, but you should be ready to face the consequences...

OrigamiRobot

@Arperum Your personal case is not everyone's case.

Powerlord

All I know is that the Database changes that I asked him to make two weeks ago took me all of 10 minutes to do. I'll also note that I'm not supposed to be touching this code at all.

Arperum

13:49

@Unionhawk That is not the goal. My statement is based on reactions by real persons.

Powerlord

If I can figure out which svn database scripts he updates with the code from the stored procedures and Oracle types, I may be able to get away with this... but I honestly shouldn't have to.

fbueckert

Oh, neat, new feature:

> This answer was marked as spam or offensive and is therefore not shown - you can see the revision history for details.

Arperum

@fbueckert Link? Probably 10k+ only though.

fbueckert

@Arperum 'tis 10K only.

Arperum

@fbueckert Expected as much.

fbueckert

13:52

This one was from the user who was spamming his 5minecraft.net website on a few answers.

Arperum

I really should stop being lazy and start making some good answers so I can get the 8078 rep I still need to see these.

fbueckert

kalina

@fbueckert link?

Sterno

@MichaelDunfield HOW MANY SKYDRIFTS?

Arperum

@fbueckert Neat.

fbueckert

13:54

@kalina This question

kalina

@fbueckert seems like a wasted feature

Powerlord

Seriously, he marked the file read-only?

Private Pansy

@fbueckert Not sure what's the point then

Journeyman Geek

@BenBrocka heh, mips PPC, 68K....

Grace Note

Saves me from having to manually purge them when they happen. I'm happy for it.

Arperum

13:54

@Sterno DAMN YOU ALL. Mostly directed to @MichaelDunfield

fbueckert

@PrivatePansy Yeah, the only people who see it are the 10Kers, but it's a neat quality of life feature.

Arperum

@PrivatePansy The offensive content is hiddenfor everyone. The spammer reaches even less people now.

kalina

@Arperum but it happened as a result of the post being reported as spam, which results in the content being deleted

fbueckert

@FEichinger So any sort of ETA on when that announcement is supposed to happen today?

Q: Do achievements/awards gives any reward

In World of Tanks, you recieve rewards, accolades, achievements, etc during games where you perform well. For example, you will earn Top Gun if you get at least 6 kills in a single game. My question is do these rewards give you any boost in XP/credits, or are they simple "ego-boosters"? if ther...
