Proposed Q&A site for nightlife enthusiasts and anyone interested in the culture of nightlife and its associated entertainment venues.

Currently in definition.

badp

@FEichinger Well yes. I'm Italian. I would know.

FEichinger

@badp Yeh, but the rest of it is just nonsense!

@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment 0 followers?

badp

@FEichinger I might be underestimating the European viewership for "My Sweet Sixteen"

but still most people I know are unaware of the invisible forces that push, say, 'murikan 18yos out of their parents' houses right into a life of debt-ridden "independence".

FEichinger

@badp I preferred "'murkina"

badp

I needed to be explained in great painful detail what a credit score is and why it matters

etc.

...and I do think your average John would have trouble placing Texas on the map

just as much trouble as an average Joe would have pinning down Austria, probably

('cept Texas is large)

alternatively: name at least 10 of the 50 states. I myself would struggle with that probably

New York. New Jersey. Texas. California. Alaska. Hawaii. Hmmm... North Dakota... South Dakota... I quoted Wyoming earlier... Tennessee is a state right? Oh, Indiana is the one with the weird timezones. Hm... Massachusetts has the MIT too.

12! I know 12 off the top of my head. At least 12.

FEichinger

00:19

@badp That's really, really easy. Getting half would be more of an issue for the average John.

Q: Tekkit ComputerCraft LUA Error

Hi, I am using version 1.2.8b and I keep receiving this error. Does anyone know a way to fix this error? I checked this website but their method did not work.

badp

@FEichinger I think 10 is enough to panic people.

I think that's true of Italians, anyway.

Sconibulus

I can never remember all the European countries

what happened to the nice easy conglomerates like USSR

LessPop_MoreFizz

I can probably name more European countries than most Europeans can name US states.

badp

@LessPop_MoreFizz Would not surprise me.

LessPop_MoreFizz

00:25

Well, as a percentage anyway

Sconibulus

Yugoslavia turned into a bunch

LessPop_MoreFizz

I think there are more states than there are EU nations.

Q: How much memory does a block hold?

Whenever I get a game on the E-Shop, it lets me know that said game takes a certain amount of blocks. Sometimes it'll let me know I need to make room for more blocks to download some games. How much memory is in a block?

Q: How can I find out how many blocks are needed to download a game?

When trying to see how many blocks a game is on the E-Shop, I find that the only way to view so is to have enough money to get that game. For instance, in order to see how many blocks Bravely Default would take on my SD Card, I would need at least $39.99 to see how many blocks. Problem is, I ha...

Q: Minecraft Server Not Working Need Help

So My Minecraft Servers Are Not Working No Matter What I Do I Can Log In On Website 5 bars internet, its just certain servers that i cant connect to, but my friends can so i ask for help from fellow gamers

minecraft

badp

@LessPop_MoreFizz en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_countries_by_population lists 53 countries in Europe, but that's also counting the super-small ones.

Some of those probably aren't countries to begin with.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp Yeah, also, I meant EU there for some reason that isn't even really a good reason.

badp

00:27

The bar for Europe is probably also a pretty arbitrary one. Insert here about six or seven relevant videos by cpgrey.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Ignoring said dumb constraint! Let's see: England, Ireland, France, Spain, Germany, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Romania, Greece, Turkey, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Georgia, Ukraine, Serbia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Lithuania... I'm sure I haven't mentioned some that I could come up with off the top of my head if I kept thinking, but I've reached the point where I need to reread the list to see if I've already typed one.

And that's 28 at that point.

badp

Commendable effort. I'm not sure if Georgia counts as Europe, but it's on that table I just linked.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp Georgia is weird because it is not in Europe by any traditional geographic boundary, but it is politiculturally firmly integrated into europe.

Wipqozn

badp

Given that it's squished between what I... hope are Turkey and Russia, that's a weird place to be European.

Wipqozn

00:30

I'm too lazy to link every video.

returns to dark souls 2

badp

Not that I mind! Europe is a pretty okay place, I think.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Without clicking link, let me see if I can fill out the list any further... Lichtenstein, Monaco, Vatican City if you care to count it, Luxembourg...

Raven Dreamer

@Fluttershy Are they remaking power puff girls?

LessPop_MoreFizz

Albania, Iceland, Montenegro, how the fuck did I forget Portugal...

badp

The first biggest you've missed is the 11th on the list. The next biggest is 17th, but I never would've guessed.

LessPop_MoreFizz

00:33

And at that point, I think all that's left is some soviet breakaways and ex yugoslav republics that I can't remember, a few dumb microstates that shouldn't even count as countries, and...

hmmm... Bulgaria?>

I figured something at 11th was going to be one I should know.

badp

@LessPop_MoreFizz That's 20th.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Okay then.

I should know the 11th and it's escaping me.

hmm...

Belgium.

Fucking waffle people.

Like I said, I'm at the point where I need to check the list to realize that i didn't even type it.

badp

Still, very remarkable job!

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp I still haven't looked anything up, but now I think I'm really, really done.

DOH. I should've known belarus.

badp

17th was Belarus. I have no idea where Belarus is. Oh there is Belarus. Hi Belarus!

The next biggest is 29th, Bosnia & Herzegovina

I stopped checking after that

LessPop_MoreFizz

00:36

@badp Which is another one I'd've realized was missing if I went through what I had typed more clearly.

(i.e. I had all the other ex yugoslav breakaways I think and I just kind of assumed I had them all for some reason.)

Macedonia

badp

Macedonia is the Italian word for fruit salad

LessPop_MoreFizz

and once you start getting into andorra it does not count anymore.

Fluttershy

@RavenDreamer They were supposedly getting a reboot last year, but I don't know if it ever came to fruition.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp ur a fruit salad.

Raven Dreamer

@Fluttershy I saw the new powerpuff girls game on steam. They have "classic" and "modern". And I thought, "waht is a modern power puff girl?"

badp

00:38

@LessPop_MoreFizz Tasty and varied, although no match for fries in a McDonald's?

iKlsR

mmm, such blue

Raven Dreamer

@badp pretty sure you could say, "<X> is the Itallian word for <Y>" for any X and Y, and we'd believe you.

Ktash

@RavenDreamer ... yeah wait, "modern"???

that's weird

Fluttershy

@RavenDreamer Oh, here you go. It was apparently a one-time thing, for a TV special.

Raven Dreamer

@Fluttershy Great. Now my IMDB history is: "The Powerpuff Girls: Dance Pantsed", and "Mahershala Ali".

Ktash

00:47

@Fluttershy .... no

just no

badp

@RavenDreamer Incidentally, ipsilon is the italian word for Y.

Pasta is the Italian word for pasta.

And don't get me started about latte.

Ktash

Everytime I answer a DBZ question on anime.se, I feel like 10 year old me is just sitting in a corner, waiting for a high five

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp What's the Italian word for a latte?

badp

Caffelatte

Except the caffe half is actually espresso

If you order latte in italy you get milk, and a couple of raised eyebrows

Raven Dreamer

"One milk, please!"

badp

01:00

In the German offices the coffee machine had a milchkaffee button. It filled a cup of milk foam with a few drops of coffee

I am not sure we have a word for that abomination but latte macchiato comes close

There also is caffè macchiato which is espresso with a drop or two of milk

So when you guys order a Macchiato what do you get?

spugsley

hi again guys :)

Raven Dreamer

Hullo spugs.

badp

Ark! It is a spugsley!

spugsley

@badp half milk half espresso

badp

So a caffelatte. "Perfect."

We have come full circle

Arperum

01:04

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yat! I'm a waffle person! Don't forget the chocolat and fries though. (not combined)

badp

No weird beers?

LessPop_MoreFizz

Belgian beer is pretty great.

badp

Also pretty weird.

Arperum

@badp I did forget the beers, but since I don't drink alcohol, I tend to do that.

@LessPop_MoreFizz There are also a shitton of different kinds of it.

badp

Sometimes I get the feeling they put honey in their beers out of national we-are-not-German pride

and then somehow the result is good

but it's mostly an accident :-P

LessPop_MoreFizz

01:08

I would talk about this a lot but I am watching cosmos now.

Arperum

@badp a beer with honey in it. What is it called? since that doesn't say me anything.

badp

I don't know but I'm sure there's one.

spugsley

@Arperum Mead maybe?

Arperum

@spugsley That was what I was thinking too.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Mead isn't beer.

spugsley

01:08

oh ok

LessPop_MoreFizz

Mead is more like wine, but with honey instead of grapes.

Raven Dreamer

I've had mead. it tastes like wine.

Yeah, pretty much.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Lots of beers use honey. It's a source of sugar for the yeast to eat during fermentation.

Others use maple syrup. Or straight sugar. Or fruit. Or or or or or or or or

Raven Dreamer

IIRC, yeast is one of the (only?) domesticated fungus.

Arperum

01:10

@badp I'll gladly believe you, I'd even believe you if you said a beer exists that contains fries. (Because I know chocolate beer exists)

LessPop_MoreFizz

@arp I'm sure it does.

I'm going to drink a beer next week brewed with pecan pies as it's grain bill.

badp

Rule trente-quatre: there's a belgian beer of it

LessPop_MoreFizz

Like whole mashed up pecan pies, boiled and hopped and fermented.

Michael Frank

@Arperum Have had a chocolate porter. Did not enjoy it.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Cosmos time back in 10

Arperum

01:11

@MichaelFrank I haven't tasted any kinds of special beer, and don't plan on starting to do so.

Michael Frank

@Arperum I've had a beetroot based beer before. It was quite nice.

Pretty strong though.

Arperum

@MichaelFrank What is seen as pretty strong? I have no clue how much that is. A normal beer around here is between 5% and 10% I think. I don't know really.

My knowledge of beer is pretty basic, because I don't drink alcoholic stuff.

Raven Dreamer

I had a Milk Stout from a local brewery recently. It was pretty good. Reminded me of dark chocolate.

Michael Frank

@Arperum It was around 11% or so, I believe. We were at some craft beer bar before a gig.

@Arperum Yea, I'm definitely not a beer guru either.

But I like to try out 'interesting' looking beers.

LessPop_MoreFizz

~4.5-7% is 'normal' for beer.

7+ will often be called 'double' or 'imperial'.

10+ is pretty uncommon. 12+ is exceedingly rare.

Michael Frank

01:21

Hmm... maybe I'm wrong.

Arperum

@LessPop_MoreFizz There are a lot of Belgian "Dubbel" (double) beers, and "Triple" too. I guess that's a bit stronger then the "Dubbel"

LessPop_MoreFizz

Dubbel/tripel/quad is stylistic. There's a rough ABV correlation, but it's not fixed.

That said, dubbels tend to be around 6-8, tripels, 8-10, quads 9+

Q: Is there any benefit to lighting the torches in the game?

You are given a torch that you can then use to light your way and also light torch stands spread throughout the world. I have not yet seen any real game benefit to lighting the stands though. I would even say a majority are not really in areas I even really care to light at all. Is there an mecha...

Raven Dreamer

How did you know the keywardens had wives?

Chippies

Angry letters, man. They're kinda depressing :x

Michael Frank

@Chippies ...D3 has multiple Torment levels? D:

Chippies

@MichaelFrank I believe it goes up to T6

when you select Torment difficulty, on bottom left there's a slider

Michael Frank

Hmm... I'm going to hunt down some T6 footage. ;D

Q: Unable to craft MV-Transformer (Industrial craft 2 experimental + GregTech)

I have my custom mod pack with following mods: mods list. The problem is I can't craft MV-Transformer - NEI recipe looks strange: ... and, of course, doesn't work. And when I try old known recipe - I get nothing: How can I craft MV-Transformer?

minecraft minecraft-industrialcraft

Chippies

I should see if I can survive on T6...

hm, 25mil hp mobs don't go well with my 50k damage

I slightly doubt T6 is optimized for melee classes... 9k from white mobs is a bit much

Michael Frank

01:46

@Chippies Watching a video of Kripp fighting Diablo on T6... He's hitting for something like 150mil+ o_o

spugsley

@MichaelFrank :O

Chippies

@MichaelFrank didn't know he still played

that's the RoS beta

Michael Frank

@Chippies This was a couple months ago. He's still only streaming Hearthstone :/

Chippies

aka stuff we don't have

I am guessing he's lvl70 there

Michael Frank

01:47

@Chippies ahh of course it is.

Silly me!

Chippies

considering how damage went up from lvl50 to 60, I imagine 60 to 70 to be similar and 150m sounds reasonable

Michael Frank

He makes this game look so easy. :(

Chippies

lol his templar has a 1h sword with 3338 dps

@MichaelFrank the game is easy now

it wasn't, but it is now

he does make it look easier than it is, but it's still easy now

Frank

@Chippies Inferno used to be: "Elite looks at you funny. You die."

Chippies

@Frank I remember that, I never got past act 3

Q: Design choices: bux + levels

There's a question after this brief preface. I have enjoyed TDS for about 3 months...until the latest updates. The probes were thematically interesting, but not well balanced in terms of risk/reward. A discouraging wrinkle. Now, the recent 36-level dump is discouraging in a different way...re...

tiny-death-star

Frank

01:51

@Chippies 1.03 and up dropped difficulty by orders of magnitude.

Chippies

whichever update evened the difficulty across acts is the one that was good

Frank

@Lazers Developer Intent. Close.

Chippies

although act 2 even after the evening out was still a huge increase in difficulty over act 1

but at least they made it so you didn't need act 3 equips to do act 2

Ktash

@AshleyNunn <3

Chippies

or well, they just made act 3 equips drop in act 1...

user15026

01:53

@Ktash They make me so happy

Frank

@Chippies Patch 2.00 changed loot drops so monsters are your level, and they drop gear at their level.

Ktash

@AshleyNunn they are awesome

Frank

Whatever, Frank. Go ahead and delete my question. This site was an interesting gameplay aid. I spose I'm just ready to move on. — user68954 27 secs ago

You try to help, and get this.

Chippies

@Frank I quit shortly after the patch where they made all inferno acts drop ilvl63 items (or maybe act 1 was limited to ilvl62, don't remember), then I came back for a day or two when the skills got revamped, but it wasn't exciting enough to keep me playing

Frank

Makes me wonder sometimes why I bother.

Chippies

01:55

so I haven't played since then until about a week ago

Michael Frank

@Chippies I played through once on launch with a Wizard. Is it worth looking into again?

user15026

@Frank Because the good outweighs the shit

user15026

and as far as shit goes, it is pretty minor

badp

Third time's the charm

Frank

@AshleyNunn I dunno; I seem to gather a ton of shit for doing nothing but trying to help.

Raven Dreamer

01:59

@AshleyNunn Those are adorable.

badp

My sister's application letters to her perspective MSc are the state of the art now.

Chippies

@MichaelFrank it's certainly a better game now. If it was like this on launch, I don't think people would've hated as much as they did back then.

user15026

@RavenDreamer I know, right? And there are a pile more - movie ones, othher games, all kinda of stuff. :D

user15026

@Frank I am not sure that is true, but I can kinda see how it can seem that way

Frank

@Chippies This is the internet. There will always be haters.
