@StrixVaria There's also almost no death penalty.
+;0.3/.-802.3=
@Sterno I have noticed this and started playing accordingly.
Although I wonder what Pixels do.
@StrixVaria they're currency and for building some things
Yeah, you don't even lose your inventory
@Sterno hey skydrift
@MBraedley you do lose quite a bit of money
Oh really? Didn't know that

@spugsley what's wrong?
Ian is gone :(
YESSSS GET HYPED
for five days :(
BECAUSE MICROSOFT
15:25
@Sterno Emojis? WHERE IS STERNO AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HIM?
@spugsley He's having an interview with MS? Awesome!
@badp lol no he works for them already
Awesomer!
@spugsley but that just means he's earning money to buy you pretty things. Or fun games.
@MBraedley a little of both :p

Q: How many controllers a CronusMAX can handle in a time?

Tuss LászlóI wanted to buy a CronusMAX but this is not clear for me. The main goal is to share multiple controllers between an XBox360 and an XBox One. Can i use an USB hub and plug multiple wired (XB1) controllers on an XBox 360? Can i use multiple keyboards and mouses with a hub? Can i use multiple wirel...

#firstworldproblems
got milk, but no cereals
is so sad being a @badp
I seriously thought thegifys.com would get a bit more interest in here
@badp no, a first world problem is having cereal and milk but no clean bowls
@MBraedley does it also mean having soap and sponges and running water to clean the bowls with?
15:36
@badp or a dishwasher
@RedRiderX I got to this one and then looked it up on YouTube and got sort of lost afterwards:
@MBraedley dishwashers are cheating
@badp Ah yes Chris Hadfield made quite a few of those videos.
also I wish the gifs only played on hover, or something.
eh they are gifs.
Ugh now I have space oddity stuck in my head :P
@badp it's hypnotic, isn't it?
15:43
I've never actually lived in a place with a dishwasher
Heh me either
Not a working one, anyway :P
@StrixVaria has Starbound now?
STAHP MAKING ME WANT THIS GAME
It's a good game
Oh, I have it too because it was gifted to me.
It was gifted to me too
15:46
@3ventic I'm sure it is, but I don't want to play another early access game.
It's a conspiracy to get @OrigamiRobot to buy it!
I haven't actually encountered any bugs so far..
There's a bit of lack of content tho
Yeah the actual campaign and mission stuff isn't there at all right?
It's pretty much just a sandbox.
@3ventic This is the issue, not bugs.

Q: Please help me with the bug in skyrim

mjosh I accidentally saved my game on this and have no other recent saved game. How can I bring this sob down from there. My spells, vampire powers, arrows nothing working while he is up there.

15:48
@RedRiderX no, there are missions (at least in the beginning). The games guides you through a bit better than something like minecraft.
Well Minecraft quite explicitly has no real direction.
Starbound has sort of a direction like Terraria does
From what I heard Starbound is supposed to have more story and a campaign of some description.
So has the final save destroying update dropped yet? I'm waiting for that before playing again.
@OrigamiRobot I've had it since the Winter Sale, but just hadn't played it yet.

Q: Use joystick in linux-native Valve games (tf2, css, ...)

JohannesI have a simple joystick: A stick with two buttons. It is usually connected to my soundcard, and it works in many linux games. However, I see no options in tf2 to activate/use it (only: "gamepad"). Can I still use my joystick in TF2? Please note: No wine related answers - I use the games native...

Q: Why is the StackExchange network so strict on people?

Joshua ZweisteinI must begin saying that I lost my job, because I made a question for a problem I couldn't solve and nobody came to answer. 30 minutes passed from then, still nothing..what I did? Along the answer I made to the other questions I posted the link to mine..still nothing..must say thanks for that, as...

> I must begin saying that I lost my job, because I made a question for a problem I couldn't solve and nobody came to answer.

I wonder what sort of job hinges on a critical AskUbuntu question...
Oh gosh it gets worse
Oh my.

Q: Complete list of maps and modes for anti-air vehicles on current-gen consoles

AnarI want to make progress with anti-air vehicles but I don't have the complete list of maps and modes for anti-air vehicles. Bonus points for info that includes all platforms.

Ugh, I have no idea what to give this client for my pay rate when I submit this stuff to them.
16:17
@GnomeSlice This is the most difficult part of any job-related negotiation. I (apparently) severely undervalued my web design work when I did freelance stuff as a teenager.
Maybe I should ask them to make me an offer.
@badp Heh yeah that's great
@TimStone I tend to do that a lot..
They've had to do that in a few states I heard

Q: About the violence inherent in Stack Exchange: freedom of speech

@badp Now you need to add a "With clear intent to: steal my job" entry
@RedRiderX It doesn't alliterate with anything
I'm kinda disappointed we didn't yet get some fitting drama ourselves
Ugh, I don't know what to do.
16:27
@GnomeSlice Combust

FAE
Agh, why did I open this can of Pringles, I've made a horrible mistake.
@badp Thank you for your constructive input.
@FAE Because you wanted to build a powerful and possibly illegal wifi antenna?
@GnomeSlice You're most welcome.
Should I give them an hourly rate or a flat rate?
FAE
FAE
@badp I didn't know you could do this.

> Once you have something ready for review please connect us and I will set-up a GoToMeeting to review it. If there is a design that works we will purchase it for our tutorial and you can begin development work on it.
So... they want a flat rate?
I have never done this before.
@GnomeSlice Not according to what they've written
They just want to know what you're going to charge.

A: How do I calculate pay rate if I've never freelanced before?

jmort253When you are self-employed or working a freelancing job, there's more to your compensation than simply take-home pay. If you work in a non-freelancing position, you most likely receive health and dental benefits, vacation time, retirement contributions, and your employer pays taxes for employing ...

I've read this, but it's built on the premise that you've worked in the past, and I haven't.
@GnomeSlice look at sites like glassdoor.com for an estimate
@KevinvanderVelden Huh. No matches for contract jobs.
Thanks though.
@GnomeSlice well, the advice on the freelancing SE is to ask 3 to 4 times what you'd get from a normal job, glassdoor might have an estimate for a normal job =p
16:37
@KevinvanderVelden Oh, didn't think of that.
So dope.
@FAE Uh oh... You know what they say, right? Once you pop, the fun don't stop? Now you've popped. So prepare for unstoppable fun!
@FAE On the contrary, pringles are never a bad decision.
FAE

I put them back on the counter.
I lost my job because the users of StackExchange didn't do my job for me. I'm burning down all your houses for being so selfish.
@Sterno clearly the best course of action
Will you give me advance warning or should I just start saving my valuables right now?
16:43
I already stole those last week.
@Sterno well crap, what ticked you off that time? Downvotes without comment?

Q: I launched minecraft and it won't open.

JillI have Windows Vista, with intel centino vPro 2. I recently had a different computer, but it was old and shut down. So I got this computer, I bought the game last year and it worked fine on this computer when they allowed you to play in browser. Now,when i run the program, nothing happens. Help?

No. I just like valuable stuff. Besides, you shouldn't be so selfish keeping your things for yourself.
@Sterno I concur. People who don't give me all their things are selfish jerks.
@Sterno Burning down my house, okay, stealing my stuff, sure. But sharing? Now you go to far

Assylum... attacking the base of the Illusive Man? Right now I am at 5015 Military Strength and did not get my EMS up yet. Considering that I need 5k (did not destroy the Reaper Base in ME2) to get the best Ending, I would have to play for 100% Readieness which I am not really up to. Can I still get it...

Oh my god
I'm googling how to use the whiteboard cleaning fluid in our office
All I can find is lifehacks
This is a sign that the end has begun.
THE INTERNET IS NOT MADE FOR PEOPLE AS DUMB AS ME
2
I AM LITERALLY TOO DUMB TO BE MARKETED TOWARDS
I just use window spray and a lot of elbow force
17:40
@mvy I don't have window spray or car spray or toothpaste I am in a fucking office full of office supplies
I just want to clean the green tint off the whiteboard I'll use tomorrow in my interview
cc @BenBrocka
@badp I think the best thing is rubbing alcohol right?
That's what I've used
All I have is a bottle of Lyreco whiteboard cleaning fluid
17:43
There are no instruction on the bottle?
There is alcohol in here but just for the cleaning staff
No, but I have a postal address to send enquiries about the chemical composition of the fluid
I found the safety data sheet, heh.
Well that's a start

Q: What can continuously block a scan area?

RobIn Battlefield 4 in commander mode I recently had a game where a large area was blocked from scanning for virtually the whole map (it started about mid game of a 3000 ticket game and then didn't end and didn't move an inch, or even a pixel for over 10 mins) It was a very long match and the enemy...

@badp I'm pretty sure if it's just cleaner you can just spray it on a paper towel and then wipe the board with it
Using a clean paper towel to dry again if you're worried about it being wet or whatever.
@RedRiderX Yeah, it's just like any other surface cleaner as far as I know
Now to find a paper towel!
@badp Good luck on your journey, weary traveller.
Apparently speaking in Dutch is flaggable.
Based on the 10-flag queue we just had.

I suppose it may depend on what was said
It links to one of those stupid clickbank adnetwork crap things.

@FAE I'm not sure where they were going with what they were talking about, but it was this OP.
FAE

@TimStone hm
only 10kers
Next up: acquiring a new whiteboard eraser, or at least cleaning this one
There's probably a lifehack where you can create a new one using plucked nose hairs.

Thanks; yes, on tablet
@badp something like that? On mobile? =p
And a user destruction, too! I am a happy camper!
Wide-screen, landscape 7" mobile chat
Murder extraordinariness
@badp I'm pretty sure you can wipe them down the same way
@badp Hah yes
So close to a usable chat, yet so far.
any minecraft guru's on?
If it's not about something that's been added or changed in the past two years I might be able to answer
Thanks @badp but its more of a modern issue, a mod seems to have done something it wasnt supposed to do
@Ender Tell off the mod and have a stern talk with its supervisor.
Best Advice NA

18:36
*EU
I stand corrected. lol
Where are you from?
I'm from Italy, in Germany
but not for long now
Nice! I was in Germany for about half of my account time here.
I loved it there. Much better than America. -.-
Munich has quite the un-hip reputation but for some reason it resonated with me
I guess I'm old inside.
I know the feeling.
18:38
At any rate I don't seem to be coming back here, so...
The one big problem with it, really, is the water is really hard.
You wouldn't think much of it until you see your boiling water having very conspicuous white bubbles on the top.
18:58
@badp It's good for you.
A kidney stone, also known as a renal calculus (from the Latin rēnēs, "kidneys," and calculus, "pebble"), is a solid concretion or crystal aggregation formed in the kidneys from dietary minerals in the urine. Urinary stones are typically classified by their location in the kidney (nephrolithiasis), ureter (ureterolithiasis), or bladder (cystolithiasis), or by their chemical composition (calcium-containing, struvite, uric acid, or other compounds). About 80% of those with kidney stones are men. Kidney stones typically leave the body by passage in the urine stream, and many stones are f...
I might be able to help you @Ender
I didn't get those - yet - although my main water source has been my office's, which has water purifiers.
...it seems that calcium in water is not really a factor. Oh well
@KevinvanderVelden its being discussed right now in the minecraft chat, if you have something you can add to the discussion it would be very welcome!
I'll take a look :)

a wild @Mana appears
@spugsley that forza question, they want to cheat
19:20
@Mana lol yes but that was a very interesting way to announce it
eh, it's Sunday and I've got nothing better to do.
(that is a lie)
it can be flagged then, right?
idk I don't think I've had a cheating question come up while I was around
@spugsley Basically every single skyrim console question is a cheat question.
I don't know enough about Forza to say whether or not they're talking about cheating online or what
if it's cheating online then yeah, it should probably be closed
@Mana ah ok. Neither do I :D
19:22
otherwise it's okay
I'm so dumb. Ughhhh I already miss stupid Ian
marriage is STUPID
@Mana Are they bweaking the wools?
@Arperum That's not true; the console is sometimes actually necessary to get the game working again. There's something wrong when I have to manually delete an actor because Lydia is convinced it still exists when it does not.
@badp YOU BROKE THE RULES
@spugsley Interesting conclusion.
19:23
@FEichinger :p
@Mana what? me? never!
it makes me have whiny little girl feelings
I have whiny feelings all the time you sexist pig.

@Unionhawk Yeah... I had to remove a corpse using console because it wouldn't stop following me.
@Mana but are they whiny little girl feelings?

@spugsley What if he comes back and isn't stupid anymore? What if this trip makes him a super serious professional?
@Mana no one said males can't feel like little girls! I personally don't know the feeling, but maybe you do?
@Mana That would never happen...
Maybe I experienced it and didn't know that it could've been called that!
@badp are you trying to get this chatroom flagged or something?
19:25
@spugsley is it comparable to whining on chat for 20 minutes about how the internet is terrible and the whiteboard needs cleaning?
@badp actually it's really similar
@Mana SHUT UP I AM EXPLORING MY WHINING SIDE
@OrigamiRobot :O I would hate that!
@spugsley good! I'm glad we sorted that out.

Q: How do I check the amount of players on my Just Cause 2 MP server?

TheDudeHow would I set up a script (preferably Node.JS) so I could check the amount of players connected to my server and display it on my site?

Gaaaah!
100 XP from my chocobo!
oh my god
19:28

@Arperum I need 100 more XP to get my own mount.
@spugsley Yup. Amusing when that happens.
What does a coco butt look like, anyways? :P
@Frank Ah. It sounded like you could accedentally kill it and got 100 xp from doing so.
19:30
@Frank google it
@spugsley No, thank you.
One of the ex-developers for one of the firms I work for used "coco" all the time as a name for random variables.
@Arperum I typically use tosti
@Arperum they don't like bars of foo?
An acquaintance of mine likes fred because QWERTY
19:32
@badp nope.
And he had also the habit of doing the worst possible things all the time.
wow
That would be an annoying habit to have.
coco also used to be an abbreviation for color computer.
Back when there were computers that couldn't.

Q: Is there any HUD cue that indicates that you can Unite Morph?

zero298I'm on Operation-007A which starts you out with a very limited number of wonderfuls and not many ways to get more. So in each combat phase, I try to attack something only to have my character start wailing away with their default attack without a way to cancel until they get smashed in the face....

Like SQL-injection possibilities, using VB, sending whole pieces of html code to the SQL sever in a two-screen long query. And let the SQL server decide which tiny bit should be send back and then written to the response.
Once I had a day work of cleaning up all the SQL-injection possibilities. A couple weeks later that code ends up back with me for some reason, and every single intstance of SQL-injection option was restored...
hu?
19:37
@Arperum Sounds like finding the person responsible is deserving of a whack upside the head.
I was slightly furious. And it resulted in a completely new employee (me, I worked for max two months by then) going in a raging fit agains an employee of a client...
And that dude was coding for way longer then me.
@Arperum How'd he take getting yelled at?
did he threw your modifications up?
@Frank It was through the phone, but he was mostly quite and accepted it.
@Arperum Did he explain why he put it back? Most often, it could be simple ignorance.
I know I don't know every technique out there.
19:40
or just working from old backups.
@Frank He had just used his own old version to work on, and overwrote my work.
@Arperum Yup, I've done that.
And he knew I had changed stuff.
I even wrote a 20 page report with every friggin case explained.
@badp That's the only reason I like typing my name.
there is a function called blame in git. I always wanted to use that one :P
19:41
@FEichinger but you deny us the very same pleasure.
@badp Do I?
@M'vy No git or SVN in place at the time.
@FEichinger "feichinger" is all over the place.
because of qwerty? don't get that one
19:45
here Brdige, have some cute winter animals: boredpanda.com/animal-winter-photography
this is my favorite :) This kitty loves snow :3
@M'vy My first name types beautifully on qwerty.
@M'vy look at where f r e d keys are on the keyboard.
Dunno if the AZERTY layout breaks it.
@badp nope
you know you are getting old when the little kids call you "sir" T_T
19:46
@spugsley Here spugsley, have some cute husky puppy
@Braiam No, you're getting old when the little kids literally call you "old". And "grumpy" ...
@badp look at where the b a d p keys are on the keyboard.
Azerty basically throws a z q w m around
@spugsley looks
fred and FEichinger types the same on AZERTY and QWERTY

Things that are not fun: Hospitals
@fredley yup, I had to go there recently :(
Been there all afternoon
@fredley only if you are House
Stabbing pains in the chest are also in the set of things which are not fun
@fredley oh no :( Did they figure out what's wrong yet?
19:50
@fredley :(
@spugsley so why did you drop out? :(
As far as they could tell, not my heart
@fredley ups
Probably a pulled chest muscle
chest pains can be anywhere...
@fredley Been there, done that.
19:52
Yeah this one was right on my heart, spreading across my shoulders and neck
Had the panic attacks to prove it.
Waiting in the hospital on an ecg in a gown for 4 hours wasn't fun
@Ktash Shin Chan!
I was in the hospital a few months ago for 12 hours for a heart that just would NOT slow down.
@OrigamiRobot ??
19:55
@Ktash The toy on his door.
My heart was abnormally slow, however the chest pain started with an 18.51 5k...
Ah, yeah
@badp there are candidates I'd rather vote for :) So I'm going to focus on getting more active in meta this year. Maybe next time :)
@spugsley You're too cool for meta!
@badp :p
19:57
I will be compiling pictures of me in hospital wired up into a compelling and heart-wrenching 'backstory' video for my nomination
@Frank anxiety?
@spugsley Very much so.
@fredley lol whatever you gotta do
Probably brought on due to the massive amount of frustration and stress from my project at the time.
@spugsley I think I do gotta do
Pity is my only hope now
Too many good candidates

Q: How do you stream an online game without getting lag in the process?

FabiánWhen I try to record to twitch, I get a higher ping than the usual, when people out there doesn't experience any difficulties. Is there some trick behind it, or is my internet so bad? Do I have to use an additional device than just the software or something?

@Frank yeah I've had that happen a lot. I get like chest tightness and then rapid heartbeat and lightheadedness. It's awful. Makes you feel like you're dying
@spugsley Brings on all the symptoms of a heart attack.
@spugsley Do you have a heart murmur?
@Frank yup
So it's rough to try to stay calm.
19:58
@Frank ow ow ow ow
@fredley no, GAD and panic attacks
Thank you guys for reminding me how quickly I discarded medicine from my career paths
@spugsley Ah :(
@badp On the plus side, twelves hours of racing heart, and they could not find any trace of damage or stress to it at all.
@Frank that's really the key. As soon as it starts you immediately think of the worst because you're already anxious. And then it all goes downhill from there.
@Frank that's a plus :)
19:59
@spugsley Have you done CBT?
@spugsley Gogo dancing!
