13:00

@AshleyNunn etc. Investigating login problems, think I might have found the problem...

Private Pansy

Just finished FTL, on Easy, after about a dozen deaths

That's probably the hardest "Easy" mode I've ever seen in any game

Oh look, I just saw Notch's name scroll past in the Kickstarter credit section

RedRiderX

I am, at this very moment, boned

OH GOSH IT DIDNT SEE ME

WHEW

Frank

@RedRiderX The eye didn't see you?

RedRiderX

@Frank Bloat

It's like a floating bladder of mustard gas

I KNEW THIS WAS THE WORST COMBINATION

Frank

@RedRiderX Sounds like fun.

RedRiderX

13:11

I ENDED UP HITTING THE FROG BECAUSE THE BLOAT LEFT

I HALLUCINATED, OF COURSE

MBraedley

It's day seven in the office. At some point, I'm sure the madness will set it. But with any luck, it won't be today.

RedRiderX

SO I WENT INTO A CORNER TO WAIT FOR THE WALLS TO REGAIN A UNIFORM COLOUR

AND THEN I AM AWOKEN TO A NOT VERY CLEARLY DEFINED FORM STANDING OVER M MENACINGLY.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

fredley

Phones are too powerful. My 4 year old computer is really struggling to emulate a 2 year old phone.

RedRiderX

@fredley DANG

MBraedley

Why hasn't this been closed yet!?

RedRiderX

13:13

SO I STOOD UP AND HIT IT

badp

out of curiosity

RedRiderX

GUESS WHAT HAPPENED

Private Pansy

Wow, the ships I unlocked are so... strange

badp

is there any single Final Fantasy game that does this?

MBraedley

as dupe of this, of course

RedRiderX

13:14

badp

putting fucking item stats on the fucking sell screen

RedRiderX

GREAT TIMING

THE BEST TIMING

Frank

@badp They do, once you get into the PSX era, I believe.

badp

@Frank Final Fantasy 7 doesn't.

Private Pansy

One has a crew teleporter but no sensors, which means you can't see what you're teleporting your crew into, the other has only one power on its shield, and relies on the Zoltan supercharged shield instead

RedRiderX

13:15

TIME TO POP THE LAST OPTION

Frank

@badp I'm pretty sure 9 does. Not sure about 8.

badp

In fact I'm about to ask a question about how to determine what items are safe to sell and what aren't

RedRiderX

WELL THIS ISNT MUCH BETTER

ACK A MONKEY GANG

The way I see it there are two options

The safe option

And the probably won't work option.

Which should I take?

fredley

@RedRiderX gam-ble, gam-ble

RedRiderX

Gosh this worked out better in my head

I LIVED

THE MONKEIES DIDNT

fredley

13:25

Is there someone here who'd test a potentially fixed ChatSEy? If you had login problems before they might have gone away now

RedRiderX

NO NO THIS WASNT HOW THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO TURN OUT

fredley

But I can't test as the Android Emulator hoses my machine completely

RedRiderX

@fredley It didn't work on my crude phone

I could try

fredley

Oh cool

RedRiderX

Where is the newest binary?

fredley

13:26

I'll send you an apk shortly

RedRiderX

Kewl

And I'm pretty sure my phone doubles as an absolute baseline

If it runs on that, it should run on anything

Q: What pieces of equipment are safe to sell?

One thing that annoys me about Final Fantasy 7 (and 6) is that it's very difficult to sell items. Well, I mean, selling them is pretty easy, but the selling screens give you all sorts of numbers, and none of them are about the stats of what you're selling. One of those sell scree...

@fredley Login wasn't awesome but it worked for me

fredley

13:32

@badp On older versions of Android (pre-HTML5 webview) it doesn't

RedRiderX

@badp Chat login isn't very awesome to begin with

fredley

And I think it's due to cookie problems

badp

@fredley hm, even on 4.4 the ChatSEy browser complained about lack of global login support

fredley

@badp Hmmm.

badp

but the good old Opera Mini route of special case login worked

fredley

13:33

@RedRiderX chatsey.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/builds/…

@badp whassat?

badp

@fredley Oh, the message that tells you your browser sucks has a link to the login page for stackexchange.com

fredley

@badp I see

badp

You do that then hit chat then hit login then hit all

fredley

@badp I see.

This process can be automated

badp

@fredley @manishearth had a way to log into chat.SE with SE credentials with a single username/password form

fredley

13:35

@badp Yeah he sent it to me, but doesn't work with OAuth methods

badp

I looked at it and it didn't seem exceedingly exoteric, but it did involve pretending you were a browser with cookies

fredley

@badp I am a browser with cookies (or should be able to be, pending @RedRiderX confirmation)

badp

@fredley OAuth is kind of not very interesting because the ChatSEy browser can't use Chrome's cookie jar

so even if you hit "login with Google" you still have to, well, login with Google

@fredley or Facebook, or what have you

fredley

@badp Yes, but only once

badp

@fredley same with SE login

fredley

13:38

@badp But I only ever log in with Google, and I don't have one

badp

@fredley yeah, I mean, it kinda sucks to tell people, hey, make sure you get an SE account before you use my chat program

fredley

Nor can I work out how to get one

RedRiderX

And so, dangling helplessly above a sea of immolating jelly. With the sound of countless, wordless screams ringing in their ears, our hero finds their fate at last. They finally find an uneasy rest, knowing that their face will be scorched in the mind of gelatinous beings for generations.

@fredley also Chatsey crashed twice in a row.

SaintWacko

badp

14:09

also for some reason I'm blinking

oh well

fredley

@badp I think I've fixed it, the only problem is that because the older webview doesn't support websockets you don't get redirected back once it's worked out that your login was successful. I think this should be fixable with javascript injection though

MBraedley

@fredley Wait, are you using an exploit to fix a bug?

fredley

@MBraedley No...

Javascript injection is not a bug, it's a right

MBraedley

I'll take your word for it, not being a web developer and all
