Red vs. Blue

Red vs. Blue, often abbreviated as RvB, is an American comic science fiction video web series created by Rooster Teeth Productions and distributed through the Internet, DVD, and Blu-ray. The story centers on two opposing teams of soldiers fighting a civil war in the middle of a desolate box canyon (Blood Gulch), in a parody of first-person shooter (FPS) games, military life, and science fiction films. Initially intended to be a short series of six to eight episodes, the project quickly and unexpectedly achieved significant popularity following its Internet premiere on April 1, 2003. In its run...

I like Deadspin too much to abandon Gawker entirely; and several other sites on the network for all the garbage they post, also regularly hire a number of truly magnificent writers and let them do whatever the fuck they want, which tends to work out pretty well often enough to be interesting. (And rarely enough to truly make me angry.)

Also, Gawker employs the single best opinion columnist working today, Dog.

FEichinger

06:51

@murgatroid99 That is actually the legal basis here.

GEMA generally assumes there is a copyright to enforce, unless the uploader can definitively prove that is not the case.

And, for uploaders, the way Google handles this is actually beneficial. As far as I know, a GEMA lock will not trigger a copyright strike - and since GEMA will no longer file a claim on behalf of the content creator, Google gets less workload for sifting through claims, and the uploader gets no claim against them.

Q: Any way to fix the horrible performance?

So to anyone who bought Watch_Dogs on release date for PC would have been extremely disappointed to find that their top notch gaming rigs can't even sustain a smooth 30fps on low-mid settings. All fingers pointed to ubisoft and their rubbish port from console to PC causing these performance issue...

pc watch-dogs

FEichinger

I really need to measure the FPS for Watch underscore Dogs on my laptop some time ...

Because I'm pretty sure it's over 30, and it's running at High settings if I'm not mistaken.

(Yes, that was me being smug that my laptop apparently performs better than "top notch gaming rigs".)

Chippies

@FEichinger do you have AA enabled?

I was running Watch Dogs with most on high, ultra textures and TxAAx2 at slightly above 20 fps on my laptop

Martin Sojka

@FEichinger Your laptop very likely outperforms "current-gen" consoles, for that matter.

Chippies

if I turned AA off I could go above 30 fps easily though

but imho Watch Dogs is one of the few games that look horrible without AA

FEichinger

@Chippies Pretty sure, yeah. I'd need to check, but I cba to convince uPlay to actually run offline mode for once.

@MartinSojka Oh, it does. I know that. Not exactly an achievement, though.

Chippies

although I have heard the Ultra texture setting takes a huge toll on the performance and I have never tried anything less than ultra on textures

I have come to conclusion that my GTX770m is at a similar performance of a GTX750ti desktop version

Arperum

google translate translates 㜀 from Chinese to English as 㜀

@MattЭллен Super usefull!

I feel so enlightened

Matt Эллен

@badp oh! thanks

Martin Sojka

Yeah, that's there for historical reasons (and names, I guess), doesn't have a meaning.

Matt Эллен

I still don't understand why it's part of Arperum's error number

Martin Sojka

10:30

@MattЭллен Because it's error number 080047, followed by an ASCII 0 (hex code '37' for the '7' and '00' for the C end-of-string), but upon string concatenation the ASCII 0 got into the middle of a string and the renderer got confused and picked an Unicode (technically, UTF-16) character.

That's what happens when you mix ancient C code with semi-modern GUI elements and renderers.

Matt Эллен

@MartinSojka ouch.

good to know, though

Arperum

Yay! Go whoever the fuck wrote the code I connect to.

I kinda like how I still get a mail with "everything completed succesfully" even though I also get a mail with "it ended with an ODBC error" and one with "ended with SQL Error"

Martin Sojka

Trust me, I would have rather not known why such exactly happens. It's physically painful to realise what kind of fuck-ups the code does and what it means for the security of the application using it.

Arperum

@MartinSojka Wait. Where does security came into this? I thought complete lack of security was a requirement?

badp

sigh, this run ends with 2 guppy items, 1 short

back to the drawing board

Arperum

10:43

ugh. I'm confused as to why doing the same action results in a "connection refused" when using one specific select query, and the other works perfect.

badp

One is crashing the remote end and another isn't? :P

Private Pansy

@Arperum If you're Chinese you'd realize pretty quickly that's an encoding error of some sort and not because the error codes are written in long dead ancient Chinese

Actually, you don't have to be Chinese to realize that

badp

You can still be curious

Arperum

@badp But why.

@PrivatePansy I wasn't really expecting the error to be written in long-dead chinese.

badp

because the remote end is busted?

Arperum

10:46

@badp Yes, it contains a 4D database. But that's a requirement.

badp

Is a 4D database enough to crash the remote end?

it still doesn't sound like your problem

Martin Sojka

Even if you know Chinese, you'd still need a moment to make sure it's not "媚" instead of "㜀" or something ... :D

Especially at those tiny font sizes. ;)

Private Pansy

11:01

Actually, no. Of you're Chinese you get a feel for what sort of words are ancient and obsolete.

Sort of how an English speaker can tell at a glance that a random jumble of letters are just that and not actual words without having to parse the whole thing

Martin Sojka

At least from the little I know about Japanese, it's more like "Which character would I expect here?" ... and you have to stop for a few dozen milliseconds when it's not one of those.

Arperum

@badp AS far as I'm concerned it's a hellbent thing of misery.

Martin Sojka

@PrivatePansy But in English, even a jumble of letters like "cirrhotic" or "chthonic" are valid words ...

Q: How to handle the crabs in Adventure Time - Time Tangle?

What's the best way to handle giant crabs in Adventure Time Time Tangle? You can't jump over them, you can't punch through them and you can't go around them. Actually, you can jump if their claws are down, if you land the punch at just the right time you come to a stop long enough to maybe get a...

i can't play my 3DS XL without it's charger because it needs charging & my dad said he'll go soon but i need it urgently... Any idea how i can charge it without going there & getting it back or buying a new one?

3ds-xl

Jutschge

@Lazers wat

badp

11:17

@Lazers Have it sent by express mail

@Lazers Borrow one

Martin Sojka

@Lazers Migrate to electronics.stackexchange.com ? :)

badp

Also I wish all the things charged alike

Mobile phones figured this one out, surely handhelds should be next

Wipqozn

@Lazers Say "for fuck sakes", and wait to play your 3DS until you get your charger back.

Jutschge

@badp let's just hope that apple will never release a handheld console

badp

@Jutschge well actually

11:23

@Lazers 3ds chargers are pretty damn cheap, even in stores. Could be, that driving home and getting it is more expensive than driving to a store and buying a new one.

Private Pansy

Charge your 3DS with the power of your mind!

Kevin van der Velden

Take 2 copper wires, put the ends of one of each of them in one of the holes of an outlet, and jiggle them around in the charging port until something happens

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden I assume you suggest doing this after washing your hands and not drying them?

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum I never said the copper was insulated...

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden Yea, the added water was to be sure things happened.

OK, that server rejected the connection bullshit has been shoved on the workoad of a collegue who is more into network stuff, because otherwise my deadlines are going to horribly fail. Loads of work to be done now. See ya later bridge.

@Arperum you think you can leave? ha! You cna't leave!

Once you go bridge, you never go back.

Q: At what date does Season 4 end and Season 5 start?

I have not found any official Riot posts to that, so I'm asking: When does Season 4 of League Of Legends end? When does Season 5 start?
