@TZHX Well, you see I'd like to stick to free software with nice cool animations like that as I'm making a presentation about marketing executives. Thanks in advance ;)

Good morning, Bridge

@Lazers I'm pretty sure this is a, "Why did they design it that way?" question.

Dear weather channel: Nobody cares that you're naming winter storms, stahp.

It's getting annoying.

RedRiderX

@fredley Hey I heard that was in the pipe

Took a while though

fredley

@RedRiderX It's now out of the pipe!

@Unionhawk SOMEONE IS FUCKING WITH YOUR MIND.

You are not alone!

Yuki

14:17

@Unionhawk I just saw that on Reddit.

:)

Also, I'm happy that I'm now cc'd on Frozen images.

Unionhawk

I just saw it on Facebook... and am now scared that that person is potentially on reddit >_>

Arperum

@Yuki Do you need more cc'ing?

Yuki

@Unionhawk Entirely possible they got it from someone else who was on Reddit.

AAAADF IT CHANGED THE VOLUME TO ZERO AS A SONG WAS ENDING

Jason Berkan

14:18

@Unionhawk Actually, that's just the song ending.

Unionhawk

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA‌AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA‌AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

tombull89

do you want to bleep a snowman?

Blem

@tombull89 :) yea, have seen it :)

Arperum

@Unionhawk BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB‌BBBBBBBBBBB

Unionhawk

@JasonBerkan Nope, it's actually lowering the volume at random. I turned it up, and a new song was playing.

Yuki

14:19

@tombull89 I wanna stuff some <BLEEP> in my mouth!

fredley

</work>

Yuki

@tombull89 People <BLEEP> better than reindeer...

Unionhawk

@fredley :O

:OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

</spugsley>

fredley

@Unionhawk Yeah

tombull89

@Yuki they missed out Come on lets go and *bleep*

RedRiderX

14:21

@fredley Heh, that's been around for a little while now

Yuki

Let It Go with... just a few more curse words thrown in.

RedRiderX

But yeah it's already like 80% of what LDD was back in the day

WebGL is da bomb

Do people still use LDD?

Wandang

@Frank hope i met your expectations now

@Lazers I'm pretty sure this is a, "Why did they design it that way?" question.

I don't think we can really answer that.

RedRiderX

@fredley Omigosh they have a full mobile version!

Unionhawk

14:24

we can tell you what autoexec.cfg does... but beyond that, yeah, I tend to agree

Yuki

Poached eggs are like the most delicious thing ever.

Arperum

@Frank It got self answered.

Wandang

@Frank it is not a question about design. maybe my english is way too bad but "why" could ask for the reason people use something too

Frank

@Arperum And I don't think it actually answers the question.

Wandang

should i rephrase to "what are the advantages of using autoexec in steam games?"

Frank

14:26

@Wandang You want to know why Steam uses an autoexec.cfg; the answer is, "Because they designed it that way"

Arperum

@Frank I agree on the off-topicness though. It does look like why did the dev code the game to use this file?

Wandang

@Frank no i do not

Blem

@fredley FU

Frank

@Wandang Then you'll need to explain what you do want to know better, since that's what your question is currently asking.

Wandang

the question is derived from my thought of "why do i see so many autoexec.cfgs"

but my english is just to bad :/

2 mins ago, by Wandang

should i rephrase to "what are the advantages of using autoexec in steam games?"

Or "Why do people use autoexec.cfg in steam games?"

Frank

14:30

Is autoexec.cfg a Steam file? If so, then the answer is, "Because Steam puts it there", which still seems like a design question.

Wandang

instead of downvoting you could have commented on the question as "do you mean why valve designed it that way? then it is off topic"

@Frank come on frank...

Frank

I'm trying to figure out if there's something we can actually help with in there.

3ventic

@Frank It's a file source engine uses

Unionhawk

@Wandang "Because steam games (in particular Valve games (source engine specifically?)) use autoexec.cfg, which does <function>"</lazy>

Wandang

i wanted to explain this for @3ventic

so i made an q &a post

fredley

14:31

@Blem :D

3ventic

hm?

Frank

@3ventic Only source engine? Not every Steam game?

3ventic

@Frank Yup. Source engine specific

Wandang

i was not sure about that one since steam is an overlay

Yuki

Wandang

14:32

for example shift + tab opens steamchat etc

Yuki

Frank

@3ventic See, that I think we can answer. As it stands, though, the question seems to be asking for every Steam game ever.

3ventic

Well, it's for gold-source too

but the engines used by Valve anyway

Yuki

There, much better.

Wandang

@3ventic you need to help me out because frank has no clue what its about

Ben Brocka

14:33

@Yuki unfortunately the pacing of the joke works better "upside down"

RedRiderX

Yuki

@BenBrocka Yeah...

Wandang

well i have no time for this at the moment. i guess i will get another -100 rep and later today when i want to fix it it is gone

RedRiderX

Yuki

@RedRiderX TIL Mobile chat sucks.

3ventic

14:34

RedRiderX

@3ventic Hmm...

That's strange

Frank

@Wandang If you want to reword this question more to, "What is this autoexec.cfg, and what does it do?", I think we got something we can answer.

Blem

@Yuki it is fine, it is just @RedRiderX that sucks

RedRiderX

:(

3ventic

@RedRiderX Update your styles, man

Yuki

14:35

@Blem Wait, wait, wait. You're saying mobile chat is fine?

RedRiderX

Did something break?

It's all alien green

3ventic

You probably didn't change the color

RedRiderX

Hmm okay

3ventic

RedRiderX

Oh.

Ooops

3ventic

14:36

The default ones are "random"

RedRiderX

Oh gosh now I need to think of good colours...

3ventic

I use #aaa for names

and #ff8c00 for mods

RedRiderX

Not the best

and I can't test the contrast as no mods are presently talking

Yuki

@RedRiderX Well, vote for me and you can test it out!

Ben Brocka

@RedRiderX Oh lord the colors

Ullallulloo

14:39

@RedRiderX Quick, vote for me.

RedRiderX

@BenBrocka ty

fredley

@RedRiderX Nono, vote for me

Unionhawk

No, I think he's actually like "Oh lord the colors" - since he's a UX mod

Ben Brocka

both

Frank

The latest Eve war began...because of a missed payment. Wow.

FAE

14:41

Good afternoon, all.

fredley

@FAE Good morning

RedRiderX

@Unionhawk That is also what I thought

Frank

@FAE Afternoon!

fredley

Hmm. Not convinced by dark.chat.SE

Yuki

@Frank Eventually, an EVE war will be started because someone stubbed a toe.

RedRiderX

14:42

Ugh it's hard to come up with a dark background colour pallete off the top of my head

fredley

@RedRiderX I'm going to take the soda dark colour scheme from sublime

RedRiderX

FAE

@RedRiderX Can I make it purple?

RedRiderX

@fredley Oh right

StrixVaria

That flag was entertaining.

fredley

14:43

@RedRiderX github.com/buymeasoda/soda-theme/blob/master/Soda%20Dark/…

RedRiderX

@RedRiderX not enough contrast

Wandang

thanks for correcting me

Frank

yolo swag ho!

fredley

@StrixVaria This just in: Other rooms have stupid flags

Wandang

next time i do not open question & answer combos on work

Ben Brocka

14:43

Had to resist the urge to mark that valid

Wandang

so i have more time to phrase

StrixVaria

@fredley I wouldn't want us to have a monopoly.

Story recap for Lightning Returns. In 16-bit.

Unionhawk

Well, Math had (has? Iunno, give me like, a 4k bounty and then I'll know) a pretty good run on dumb flags,

RedRiderX

Eh it'll work

Unionhawk

14:46

@Frank wat

5pike

@Frank The game has a story? That's news to me

Frank

@5pike Convoluted and all over the place, but yes, it does.

Yuki

Ben Brocka

@5pike pretty sure it's a dressup sim

5pike

@Frank Convoluted indeed. And buried deep within the in-game glossary.

3ventic

14:48

@Yuki "Thanks Obama" is a weather forecast?

Frank

@Yuki That's missing Canada, which is even colder.

Jason Berkan

@Frank Canada doesn't exist in most Americans minds.

Unionhawk

> Continental United States

> Missing Canada

Jason Berkan

My neighbour was on a business trip flight in the US and explained where he lived, using the descriptor "North of North Dakota". The woman beside him interjected - "Son, there ain't nothin' north of North Dakota."

Unionhawk

...

Yuki

14:49

@3ventic It's a pretty consistent Floridian forecast.

FAE

@5pike AKA par for the course for Squeenix

Unionhawk

Oh hey, I've hit the limiter

Frank

@FAE This is a pretty neat video, though.

StrixVaria

1/4 inch of snow in Alabama

Yuki

@Frank Well, if you want the US to have jurisdiction over Canada, by all means go ahead.

FAE

14:50

@Frank I actually want to finish FFXIII at some point, so I didn't watch it for fear of spoilers.

Frank

@FAE Fair enough.

5pike

@FAE Do yourself a favour and don't. It's painfully dumb.

Yuki

@StrixVaria The car on fire is just hilarious.

Frank

@Yuki When people say, "It's cold", I automatically think they don't know what they're talking about.

Although North and South Dakota will have roughly the same weather as us.

Ben Brocka

@Yuki that caught my eye too, I must know how that happened

Wandang

14:52

oh sry @3ventic i did mix up you and @Ullallulloo

3ventic

np

Tim Stone

@BenBrocka There was that video a while ago where someone's BMW caught on fire because they didn't have traction in the snow and just kept gunning it.

Frank

@FAE Watch it from 4:08, if you want the XIII-2 recap.

StrixVaria

@BenBrocka Clearly the car had built-in temperature control.

It got too cold out, so it adjusted accordingly.

FAE

@BenBrocka You can back up PS3 saves to your PC using CMA, right?

3ventic

14:55

I want to play more dota 2, but I can't stand the size of the hud :(

Ben Brocka

@FAE PS 3? I don't think so, content manager is for Vita

PS3 just backs up to an external HDD (or cloud saves)

Wandang

@3ventic size does not matter

hats do

Q: When I click on the ? people in Tiny Death Star it changes to a number

When I click on the ? people in Tiny Death Star it changes to a number. But on my wife's game she can take the ? people to any floor. Is this a glitch? Can I fix it?

Tim Stone

►

FAE

@BenBrocka Ah okay. Friend of mine's brother's PS3 just died and he said it was something with the soldering and since the PS3's HDDs are encrypted to each individual console, he lost all his saves. I'm trying to figure out A-if that's a thing and B-if he's really screwed or if there's anything else he could do.

Or could have done.

Frank

14:58

@FAE Fat PS3?

FAE

@Frank Yeah, first-gen backwards compatible one.

3ventic

@TimStone It's not fun when that happens with a truck.

Frank

Sadly, each hard drive is encrypted to it's own console.

It's completely unreadable by a PC.

You want that data, that PS3 has to be resurrected.

fredley

Test

Sterno

@Frank That's so dumb it hurts.

3ventic

14:59

@3ventic The traction part, not fire.

Frank

@Sterno Welcome to Sony!

FAE

@Frank Damn... that sucks.

Frank

@FAE I'm stuck in the same boat.

My PS3 is totally dead.

FAE

I have a slim, is that different for those?
