First month of being at home is still payed by your employer, after that it's payed by the state.

Origami Robot

Some people don't get paid time off at all

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot That would be downright illegal here.

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot I don't think this is possible if you're salaried, only if you're hourly.

Origami Robot

Most of the time you don't get benefits unless you're full time

@StrixVaria Yes, that's what I mean

Arperum

if you work fulltime, you have right on at least 20 days off each year plus official holidays.

Unionhawk

13:01

Yeah, paid time off is not a thing if you're hourly

Koviko

@StrixVaria I think it's specifically full time. Though, I'm not sure if you can be part-time salaried. Probably not a thing.

StrixVaria

@Arperum I only get 15 days off each year, and I work for one of the most generous companies in the country :)

Arperum

If you work half time, you get 10 days off each year.

juanvan

@Arperum that is what the fast food workers want - besides 15$ an hr

Unionhawk

(it can't be a thing if you're hourly)

by definition

Koviko

13:02

@Unionhawk Almost all of my jobs prior to this one were hourly and I got PTO

This is the only one that tricked me into salary.

Unionhawk

That literally does not make sense

And I do not believe you

Origami Robot

@StrixVaria I get that much too. Does that include sick time for you?

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot I have unlimited sick days.

Arperum

@StrixVaria full time is a 38h week here, 40 hour weeks are basically 12 extra days off.

Koviko

@Unionhawk You earn PTO based on hours worked.

Wipqozn

13:03

@Unionhawk It makes perfect sense. Most people as an average work day (for example, 8 hours), and paid vacation days just pay them as if they worked that many hours.

Origami Robot

@StrixVaria cc @Arperum

Unionhawk

@Wipqozn Then that's not hourly.

By definition.

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot Yup, like it should be.

Unionhawk

Maybe my perception is skewed by the fact that regular schedules were never a thing at my previous job

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk Yes it is. You're paid for every hour you work. If one day you leave an hour early you don't get paid that hour. IF you stay an extra hour you get paid an extra hour. Vacation days, when you take it, just assume you worked "x hours' that day. I

StrixVaria

13:03

@Arperum This is a choice my company made, though; it's not mandated at all.

Koviko

My company has unpaid sick days. But to be paid, you have to use personal time

It's stupid.

Arperum

@StrixVaria I know. Over here, there is no choice in it. It is all regulated by law.

Koviko

@Wipqozn Even more granular, all my jobs have done it all as a per-hour basis

So, if you have 4 hours of PTO

You can either take a half day

Origami Robot

@Arperum If that's the way it was over here, people who are sick often would never be employed.

Koviko

Or tak a whole day but only get paid a hlf day

Wipqozn

13:05

@Koviko That's how my company works. You get x-number of hours per year.

Arperum

Sure, some people abuse the system, but it's getting better lately since they are checking more frequently.

Unionhawk

@Wipqozn And maybe my perception is skewed by the fact that at my previous job, if someone didn't show up, or left early, we would be struggling to operate for the rest of the day.

StrixVaria

@Arperum Because you live in a country whose government cares about its citizens more than corporations.

Koviko

@Unionhawk Due to the nature of the job or poor staffing?

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk What was your previous job? Provided, of course, you don't mind me asking.

Arperum

13:05

@StrixVaria Cared. The new government is sort of trying to destroy all of it.

StrixVaria

You shouldn't make the system around people who are going to abuse it. People who abuse systems are going to abuse literally any system you make. You should make the system to help the people who need it.

Unionhawk

@Wipqozn Ride operator at an amusement park. So we literally needed everyone who was scheduled to function.

Koviko

@StrixVaria So much this. American politics are full of debates that opt for poor systems because of possible abuse.

Arperum

@StrixVaria Yup, and you can try to stop/lower the amount of abuse of the system that happens.

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria I dream of a day when the USA becomes one of those countries. I feel bad for all you guys.

Unionhawk

13:07

@Wipqozn for president

Rapitor

@StrixVaria cough DRM

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk ah I see

Also, it's possible we have different definitions of hourly worked.

I'm talking about full time hourly workers, not part time.

Unionhawk

Probably

Ah

Matt Эллен

"Thanks, Wipbama"

StrixVaria

@Rapitor Not just talking about government :)

Unionhawk

13:07

I worked full time hours, but it was a part time job because I think entertainment industry?

I forget which exception that was

Wipqozn

@Koviko ...or because they help poor people

StrixVaria

@Unionhawk That sounds like bullshit.

Wipqozn

Every time I hear "free handout" with regards to universal healthcare in the USA I just stop listening to whoever said it.

Unionhawk

@StrixVaria It's either the "entertainment industry" exception or the "seasonal" exception. It's probably "seasonal" now that I think of it.

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk Most likely seasonal.

Unionhawk

13:08

I know there's some sort of exception for both of those things.

Origami Robot

I used to work 40 hours a week with no benefits at all.

Unless you count overtime eligibility as a benefit

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot I don't.

Origami Robot

Considering I am not eligible for overtime now, I do :P

Wipqozn

I don't get overtime pay since I'm salary, but I do get time in lieu, or whatever it's called. That is, for every hour of everytime I do I get an extra hour of vacation time.

Origami Robot

And by overtime, I mean at 1.5x pay

Koviko

13:10

@Wipqozn :(

Wipqozn

I've never done overtime before though, and I have doubts I ever will. At this company.

StrixVaria

I get over $1m/tick in this zoo incremental. I'm going to say that all the money I shoved into those upgrades were worth it finally.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot That's some sweet, delicious OT pay.

Origami Robot

Now I get paid one hourly rate for every hour I work. End of story.

But I am salaried.

Unionhawk

@StrixVaria Were they though? I mean, you are still playing this game.

Origami Robot

13:11

It's a weird situation.

StrixVaria

@Unionhawk I'M PROGRESSING

Unionhawk

...

You keep telling yourself that, I'll be over here

StrixVaria

I can't seed a new animal with only 10 anymore.

The birth rates are just too low.

Wipqozn

I should make an incremental game just to make you all suffer.

StrixVaria

With 10 kangaroos and 5 upgrades it started at .72%/.27%

Rapitor

13:13

@StrixVaria reset the game so your birthrate is permanently boosted

StrixVaria

@Rapitor No I'm going to grind it out forever like @badp in Clicker Heroes.

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn make a clone of zoo incremental, except progressing along all your avatars until you finally get Wipqalot back

Unionhawk

@Wipqozn See, I've been enlightened. I could literally not care any less about incrementals. (famous last words)

I HAVE TRANSCENDED YOUR PETTY INTERPRETATIONS OF "GAMES"

StrixVaria

@Rapitor I would only get a 19% bonus right now anyway. I assume that's a multiplicative bonus, not additive.

Unionhawk

OR SOMETHING

Sconibulus

13:14

@StrixVaria yeah, I stopped at Kangaroos

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk how did you get enlightened? Cattleprod to the face?

Sconibulus

I stopped that one too

Frank

I closed all mine. Because I have too much else to do.

Sconibulus

hey @fredley, is Incraftmental still a thing?

Jason Berkan

@Sconibulus It's still running while you have it closed, so have you truly stopped?

Unionhawk

I started it one day to give an authoritative answer to "this game saves, right?" and am never touching it again.

@JasonBerkan finds and destroys the cookie

Sconibulus

13:16

@JasonBerkan I haven't opened it in a couple weeks...

well, maybe only a week and a half or so

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan The only way to win is to never start and laugh at those that did.

Jason Berkan

@Wipqozn Truth. In a game of making numbers go bigger, how can you win? The universe ain't gonna run out of numbers.

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan No, but the computers could eventually roll over back to 0. I think that would be declared a victory. A sad, sad, victory...

Jason Berkan

Incremental Game Overflow

Kevin van der Velden

@JasonBerkan actually, the heat death of the universe would mean there's practically no information in the universe. Which would also mean no numbers

Sconibulus

It's already been made, it's called SO

Jason Berkan

@fredley SO is an incremental.

fredley

@JasonBerkan It takes so long to get decent return from idle income though

It needs rebalancing

Wipqozn

That video is highly relevant.

Matt Эллен

@fredley reps from voting!

it costs one rep to vote up or down, but you gain rep for each vote that agreeswith your own

Frank

My users quite often realize they have no idea what they're talking about.

"Hey, add these new items to the system! But I'm only going to give you super basic information, and keep complaining that it doesn't work until you drag all the information you need out of me."

Wipqozn

13:28

@Frank This happens at this company a lot too.

Most of the time the people here have no ide what they actually want, so you need to walk them through it like children.

Frank

@Wipqozn In an ideal world, I wouldn't even start adding the items until I get all the information, but these are inherited systems with zero documentation.

Rapitor

Halo 2 Anniversary Launch Trailer makes me sad no Halo movie as this kind of production quality

Koviko

Can I reset SO Incremental to get a rep booster?

fredley

@Koviko Yeah, SO needs better prestige

Deleting your account needs to create a rep multiplier on your next one.

Or maybe resetting increases your daily repcap? That could work

Arperum

So today my cothing is not exactly fit for meetings. As in: There is a huge picture of a guy with a freshly decapitated head on it. I've let two clients in already... I didn't know there would be clients today...

Wipqozn

sometimes I change my pants into shorts, or realize my shirt is inside out.

Frank

I'm curious as to why this question got closed as unreleased/illegal.

StrixVaria

13:48

@fredley Only due to societal constraints.

Wipqozn

I've been meaning to keep a spare pair of socks in the office too, but I keep forgetting.

I always have a spare pair with me in winter, since I keep them in my winter jacket.

It's not a great question by any stretch, but I don't see how it falls into illegal territory.

Frank

I'm missing something here, then.

Wipqozn

I'm never sending you guys photos of my socks again. Three times was enough.

Frank

13:50

I thought our stance on emulation was that we make a good faith assumption that they own the game.

Origami Robot

@StrixVaria Oh, I like this plan better

Wipqozn

@Frank I thought our stance was that we didn't allow it.

Frank

@Wipqozn Bwuh? We've got...I dunno how many questions about emulation.

Arperum

Don't we even have an emulation tag?

Frank

Q: What's the official stance on console emulation?

The way I see it, many of us enthusiasts are probably familiar with emulation and use emulators to play classic games. (I do, I'll readily admit.) However, it's also fairly likely that many cartridge/disc/tape/etc. rips for said emulators are ... well ... not 100% legal, at least in the U.S., an...

That's kinda old, so if someone finds a more recent one, let me know.

Arperum

13:53

That's the shirt I'm wearing now. cc @fredley

Frank

@Arperum Indeed we do. Which is why I'm confused that question got closed.

fredley

@Arperum What are those sweets?

Origami Robot

I'll just leave this here:

> Obtaining games through methods not authorized by the developer or publisher is illegal in the United States.

Frank

I thought our stance on emulation was that we make a good faith assumption that they own the game.

He's not asking where to get it or anything. Just to get it running better.

Origami Robot

Emulators are not illegal.

Arperum

13:56

Origami Robot

@Frank Having the ROM is illegal.

Frank

If we're now closing questions because we maybe kinda sorta suspect they pirated the game, that's a dramatic shift from our previous stance, and needs to be clarified.

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot Is there anything you can do with an emulator that is not illegal then? Because owning games for it is illegal.

Frank

Oh, wait. My bad. Smash Bros Brawl is the Wii U one, isn't it?

Wipqozn

@Frank Yes. Which one did you think it was?

Frank

13:59

@Wipqozn I thought it was the Gamecube or Wii one or something.

Wipqozn

well, WiiU/3DS

Rapitor

@Frank no, brawl is the wii one

Frank

Is there even an emulator for Wii U?

Wipqozn

@Frank I'm not sure how that would make a difference.

Rapitor

@Frank Dolphin can play some Wii U games

Wipqozn

14:00

Or is it because the WiiU version isn't out yet?

Frank

@Wipqozn Yeah, if the Wii U one wasn't out, then yeah, hammer it closed, and good riddance.

Origami Robot

@Arperum Technically everything on the Wii Virtual Console is done via emulation.

You can legally buy those ROMs from Nintendo.

Frank

@Rapitor And apparently Brawl is one of them.

But that's sorta my point, here. You can stick a Wii disk into your computer.

And I would think the emulator would be able to read it.

There's no need to stretch for a, "He pirated it! Needs to be closed!"

5pike

@fredley - still nothing ...

Origami Robot

@Frank Playing straight from a disc requires DRM circumvention, IIRC

Frank

14:03

@OrigamiRobot That's...still not piracy.

Matt Эллен

Dirty Rotten Magic

Origami Robot

Who said piracy?

It's still illegal

Frank

@OrigamiRobot So we shouldn't let any Dolphin question survive, then.

Because they're all illegal.

Origami Robot

TMK

Frank

If we're going to pick a stance here, let's at least be consistent with it.

Origami Robot

I'm just telling you what I know of the legality here.

I have no business telling you how to handle your site.

> Emulators are also a useful tool in the development process of homebrew demos and the creation of new games for older or discontinued consoles.

Frank

I don't think it's as cut and dried as you make it out to be.

Sconibulus

Is DRM circumvention even illegal in all jurisdictions we serve?

Matt Эллен

I don't think it's illegal in the Netherlands... but I don't know.

Sconibulus

if not, I think that's a clear-cut case for keeping emulator questions

fredley

@5pike :(

Frank

14:08

@Sterno! Do you happen to disagree with me on this one?

5pike

@fredley Don't worry, doesn't really matter that much.

Origami Robot

@Sconibulus SE is still a US owned company.

Sterno

Now I don't want to, in case I agree with you.

I haven't been paying attention.

Hooray for timeouts making messages appear in the wrong order

Frank

It's a mini-drama! You live off this stuff!

Sterno

Is the question whether or not emulators are illegal, or is that already assumed true?

Sconibulus

14:10

@OrigamiRobot That just means we can't help circumvent DRM, once the DRM is circumvented we're perfectly able to assist others with problems in their legal game copy

Sterno

I'm not sure they are always illegal. And as soon as they aren't always illegal, questions about them seem fine.

But I am not an expert on emulator legality

Mad Scientist

legality doesn't matter, we can't judge that anyway. Legal issues are handled entirely by SE

Frank

@Sterno The question is why getting a Wii game working on an emulator has been closed as illegal.

Sconibulus

@MadScientist legality matters when the close reason is illegal content...

I feel this question should be reopened

Sterno

If the only case in which you could be using an emulator is when you're dealing with a cracked/pirated game, which we don't support, then sure, close it

If there are legit cases, leave it open

I don't know if the assumption that the game has to be cracked/pirated/illegal/whatever is true

Mad Scientist

14:12

@Sconibulus I'm not a fan of the way this close reason is written. The issue is not legality, but simply that we don't approve of pirating games

Sterno

Since I don't want to become a legal expert on this, I say we either just leave emulator questions open or else we add something specifically calling out emulator questions to the close reason

Frank

@StrixVaria If we're going to do that, we're dramatically shifting our stance, and that really needs to be spelled out.

MBraedley

BBC, why did you take something wonderful and ruin it?

Origami Robot

More recent ones require a legitimate BIOS copy to function which is illegal to own unless you own the console.

Unionhawk

It's the way people typically obtain ROMs that is illegal

Frank

14:15

@OrigamiRobot Using your logic, every usage of emulators is, however.

StrixVaria

@Frank There have been a bunch of conversations in chat since that meta with a lot of points brought up and I can't remember all of it.

> Emulators are also a useful tool in the development process of homebrew demos and the creation of new games for older or discontinued consoles.

StrixVaria

I do vaguely remember @LessPop_MoreFizz being fairly familiar with the territory.

Since that meta is 4 years old, we should at least look at the topic again to see if we've shifted our stance.

MBraedley

@Unionhawk The argument that was presented to me was that most ROMs can't be obtained legally to begin with.

Sconibulus

@OrigamiRobot Personally, I own a Wii, the Hard Drive on it has failed. Am I allowed to have a Wii emulator and play Wii games I own?

(I don't actually have one, but I think doing this is legal)

Unionhawk

14:16

Probably, I don't know

StrixVaria

@Sconibulus "Maybe", the answer to all legal questions.

Frank

@OrigamiRobot And we wouldn't be supporting those usages here, so for us, every usage is illegal, by your logic.

Origami Robot

@Sconibulus Depends on whether or not you can legally play from disc where you live.

Powerlord

@Sconibulus ....the Wii has a hard drive?

Incidentally, the WiiU can still play Wii games from disc.

Unionhawk

It has some sort of on-board storage

Origami Robot

14:17

@MBraedley This

Powerlord

@Unionhawk Yes, it has 512MB of Flash memory iirc.

Everything else was on SD cards.

Unionhawk

This is what I assumed

Sconibulus

@Powerlord I don't know if it's technically a hard drive, but that is what the problem appears to be, data access

StrixVaria

Anteaters get!

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot That's bullshit. That would mean that the ontopicness of a question is based on where the asker lives.

Origami Robot

14:18

There are ways to legally obtain some ROMs, like the Wii Virtual Console, but if you copy that to a PC, that's copyright infringement.

StrixVaria

@Arperum This is why legality is a bad criteria for question on-topic-ness.

Frank

@StrixVaria Which is one of the reasons we hammer, "Is X legal?" questions.

Origami Robot

@Arperum Personally, I was always of the opinion that this is why anything relating to legality should just be flat off-topic.

Frank

14:21

Disregarding legality entirely, are emulator performance issues something we support?

And, incidentally, should we reword the close reason bit to focus more on piracy instead of legality?

Origami Robot

@Arperum Also, questions don't just belong to the asker, they belong to everyone.

5pike

@Frank Do we support performance issues with other computer games?

Frank

@5pike We suck at them, but yeah, we do allow them.

5pike

Then I don't see why it should be closed as "piracy"

Frank

Just have to look at Minecraft questions.

@5pike That's what I've been trying to figure out, myself.

MBraedley

14:23

Yeah, we pretty much suck at all technical issues questions. Just look at all the Minecraft Crashes questions.

Unionhawk

okay fair

but the stare still stands

5pike

IMO, performance issues with an emulator are no different to performance issues with another game.

Frank

@Unionhawk You just like staring at me.

Unionhawk

...

Frank

\o/

5pike

14:24

Sure, some emulators are illegal, but that's not our concern.

Other games can also be acquired illegally.

Which also can have performance issues.

My stance on this is - No, it should not be closed because of piracy.

StrixVaria

Let me know how this is.

I haven't even tried it, but it looks huge.

Great, so now we're @Strix's beta testers for incremental games, so he can pick out the good ones.

Unionhawk

Pretty soon, @StrixVaria will be consumed by the incremental trend
