> TypeError: rec is undefined

Yeah sure Firefox, you keep telling yourself that.

Kevin van der Velden

Is ret[i] undefined?

Powerlord

Actually... it probably is.

fredley

@Powerlord I was going to say

undefined in JS is a bit like NaN

GnomeSlice

17:04

Powerlord

Namely because I didn't change that from its old form, and the real array is ret.legislators now

fredley

nothing cares about it, just gets passed on to whatever

GnomeSlice

Kill streak bitches

Unionhawk

What kill streak do you need to get a nuke?

Oh wait that's TF2 in a few updates

Powerlord

Well, this was the most braindead return before. It was returning a list of stuff, but any metadata for the list itself was put into every element.

GnomeSlice

17:08

@Unionhawk Bitch I am a nuke

I got like 3700 points that game

Unionhawk

Kill streak awarded: Press A to become @GnomeSlice

@Batophobia I'm afraid you haven't become @GnomeSlice.

not a fan

@Unionhawk Also that was electro house you clown, not dubstep

Q: Counter-Strike 1.6 maps similar to fy_snow but with full arsenal available

Sadly, fy_snow lacks SIG SG-550 and G3SG1 sniper rifles. If there are maps of a similar style that do also feature pistols, I'd be grateful three-fold.

counter-strike

GnomeSlice

complextro, even

Unionhawk

17:18

I didn't actually listen since I'm kind of in class and also I wouldn't know what the difference is

StrixVaria

@Unionhawk I'm conflicted about this comic, because while it's funny, any fanbase of a thing is going to develop terminology to talk about differences within the thing they're a fanbase of.

Unionhawk

...

GnomeSlice

@Unionhawk Also the first one is synthwave

not even EDM

clown

Yuuki

Go on, keep demonstrating @Unionhawk's joke.

GnomeSlice

@Yuuki It doesn't. Do you know what synthwave is

Unionhawk

17:20

ffs

GnomeSlice

►

I bet you think that's dubstep too

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice is the guy in that comic.

Kevin van der Velden

@StrixVaria no, the guy in the comic realizes his problem

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria because I listen to enough music to not generalize it all into one category, yeah.

dubstep is dubstep though

Unionhawk

...

fredley

17:21

@GnomeSlice What's your favourite type of dubstep?

GnomeSlice

@fredley there's not really a 'type'.

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice I get that it's important to be able to classify music, if you're talking to people who also know what they're talking about. But in a room like this all the words you're saying are nonsense to everyone but you.

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria which words

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice synthwave, complextro, electro house

GnomeSlice

synthwave is pretty much just 80's style dance music

because synths

it's a dumb name

complextro is stupid as well, it's like IDM levels of dumb labelling

well not quite

Electro House everybody knows what that is

come on

Rapitor

17:23

don't forget brostep

(yes its real)

GnomeSlice

ugh

No it's not

Jason Berkan

@GnomeSlice No. I have no idea what you are talking about.

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice No, and that's the point you're missing.

Unionhawk

@GnomeSlice Nope! Not a clue

GnomeSlice

well electro house isn't dubstep

StrixVaria

17:24

Most people don't know what that is.

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria Most people do know what that is

Are you guys just all old

Unionhawk

@GnomeSlice Demonstrably no

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice Most people in your circle of people you know, maybe, but not in the wide world of people.

Rapitor

most people just know the difference between electro and dubstep. not much else

GnomeSlice

Electro house

Electro house is a form of house music. Electro house's influences include electro, electroclash, pop, synthpop, and tech house. The term has been used to describe the music of many DJ Mag Top 100 DJs, including Kaskade, Knife Party, Madeon, Porter Robinson, and Zedd. == Characteristics == Electro-house sometimes contains elements of tech house such as prominent basslines, short and high-pitched riffs, and minimal to medium amounts of percussion. Unlike tech house, however, it can include abrasive, electro-influenced synths and vocal or instrumental samples. The tempo is usually around 128 to 130...

Jason Berkan

17:26

I've read and reread the Wikipedia article on dubstep, and I still have no idea what it is.

Matt Giltaji

@Rapitor i don't :D

GnomeSlice

@Unionhawk this comic is dumb because it suggests that knowing enough about something to actually know about it means you have 'a problem'.

Rapitor

@MattGiltaji "most"

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice I agree with that.

Unionhawk

Let's just keep talking about how dumb the thing I posted was

That's great

Rapitor

17:27

it's @Wipqozn's fault

Unionhawk

I'm okay with this

Wipqozn

I'm so happy I started all this drama by pinging @GnomeSlice.

I'm really proud of myself right now.

also nitro fun is like 15 years old what in the fuck

StrixVaria

17:28

@GnomeSlice It's futile. People who are just being exposed to EDM won't find an appreciable difference.

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria But they will

StrixVaria

No they won't.

GnomeSlice

Somebody confirm

StrixVaria

The same exact thing happens with metal.

People classify all metal as the same even though there's huge variety.

GnomeSlice

I can tell the difference between grindcore and melodic death metal

Rapitor

17:29

@GnomeSlice yeah, just follow monstercat. their videos are labeled with what it is :D (nitro fun is amazing)

GnomeSlice

the one that's not terrible is melodeath

Jason Berkan

@GnomeSlice One's slower than the other.

GnomeSlice

@JasonBerkan pretty much, yep.

Rapitor

@StrixVaria i'm not sure about this. people can probably tell the difference between like 80s hair metal and death metal.

Jason Berkan

And I wish both would use a real drum kit.

GnomeSlice

17:30

well that's not all of it

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan Of course you do. You're old, and new music scares you

Jason Berkan

I despise electronic drums.

Wipqozn

DAMN KIDS AND THEIR DRUG MUSIC

GnomeSlice

@JasonBerkan don't listen to EDM then

StrixVaria

@Rapitor And people can probably also tell the difference between Devo and Skrillex.

GnomeSlice

17:31

deeeeeevo

Jason Berkan

@GnomeSlice I don't.

GnomeSlice

StrixVaria

@JasonBerkan Out of curiosity, what kind of music do you listen to?

Origami Robot

@JasonBerkan listens to his children complain

Jason Berkan

@StrixVaria Grew up on metal (Metallica, Megadeth, Skid Row), though I've mellowed in my old age.

GnomeSlice

17:32

Pretty much the three overarching genres I listen to know are EDM, Chiptune, and Synthwave

My bandcamp is full of that shit

StrixVaria

@JasonBerkan I know 2 of these bands.

GnomeSlice

with a bit of 'chillout' which is also a dumb name

people name things dumb

StrixVaria

I listened to a lot of Megadeth when I first started listening to metal. I only like select songs by them now.

Wipqozn

This reminds me of te final exam in my uni class about classical music. He played three pieces of music, each from a differen era. You needed to identify which era it was from, and why you thought it was from that era.

It was really fun exam.

Jason Berkan

I find I like "pop"ier music now. Catchy songs, rather than 10 minutes of guitar solos.

Wipqozn

17:35

You could take a stab at identifying the piece and composer too.

StrixVaria

@Wipqozn Neat. This is actually how I remember that Mozart came before Beethoven. For some reason I had that backwards until I thought about their musical styles. Mozart is clearly more influenced by Baroque, and Beethoven is clearly one of the influences for Romantic music.

Jason Berkan

As an overarching theme, I want to listen to musicians that write and play their own songs, regardless of genre.

GnomeSlice

@JasonBerkan don't listen to pop then

Rapitor

@JasonBerkan don't listen to anything then

Jason Berkan

@GnomeSlice I meant "pop"ier metal.

GnomeSlice

17:37

oh

►

@StrixVaria have I showed you this band before

Frank

Somehow, an Access subreport is not populating some aggregate values. But pulls the rest of the data source without issue.

GnomeSlice

►

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice Don't think so, but I'm not in a symphonic metal mood recently.

Recently being in like 8 years since I got tired of Blind Guardian.

GnomeSlice

lol

StrixVaria

Ugh symphonic metal really needs clear vocals.

Frank

17:40

Burn

Origami Robot

I like stringed instruments and "bouncy" melodies

I'm not sure how else to say what I mean by that

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria sleepersawake.bandcamp.com/album/transcension

I found that accident one day trying to find something else

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice Instantly reminded me of Falconer, which I used to like but I can't even tolerate now.

GnomeSlice

lol?

StrixVaria

This is better than Falconer, though.

> It's like the unholy union of sludge, Tool and Opeth.

Based on that review this should be my favorite band.

GnomeSlice

17:42

I bet it's not

StrixVaria

It's better than I expected.

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria gee, thanks

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot "Get a load of that bouncy melody!"

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice A few of the things you've linked me on bandcamp are also on spotify (like that song Artillery).

Which makes them infinitely easier to listen to/remember about.

GnomeSlice

get the bandcamp app

StrixVaria

17:47

No.

fredley

18:03

I can tell the difference between metal and wood

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice Ok this is actually really good.

2

fredley

@StrixVaria I was at a friend's. One of the people's surname (and nickname) was Wood. We found a book called 'Working with Wood'. Endless hilarity ensued.

Frank

@StrixVaria Mark 1 eyeballs are actually pretty good at identifying wood.

Sterno

Alright, guys. This ToME guy is going to make it.

Powerlord

I should found the MyAss statistics database service. "Where did you get these statistics?" "I pulled them out of MyAss!"

Blem

18:19

Wipqozn

@Sterno Just don't do anything stupid.

Sterno

@Wipqozn That's asking TOO MUCH

Frank

Chalk up yet another problem to Access being Access.

A form wouldn't load some aggregated values, although it would load the actual data just fine.

Reboot the silly server, and it all functions the way it's supposed to.

StrixVaria

@Sterno I hope you find the Bearscape again.

Gotta get revenge on the Avatar of Bearness.

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria That avatar was just teaching @Sterno that the Bearscape is a place that man was not meant to tred.

Frank

18:23

@StrixVaria I fully expect the avatar to disarm him again and then proceed to toy with him.

Wipqozn

Only spelled correctly.

Frank

I have not received an email for MH4U demo codes.

badp

I have 6 job interviews by next Wed

Sterno

Should I have the opportunity, I will certainly challenge the Avatar of Bearness again

badp

This is "the worst"

Wipqozn

18:29

@Frank Looks like they still haven't been sent out.

Kevin van der Velden

Jeah windows! Apparently it can decide to install updates even when you tell it to go into hibernate mode :D

Frank

@Wipqozn And it looks like Gamestop has the MH4U N3DS units available for pre-order.

Kevin van der Velden

Note: it can then not return from hibernate mode and instead just reboots -,-

badp

Is that how it works, Microsoft?

I DO NOT THINK THAT IS HOW IT WORKS, MICROSOFT.

Blem

badp

18:41

She should have never entered the bearscape.

Arperum

@Blem That would've been quite the immpressive death count if true.

badp

@StrixVaria Actually the preorder discount was the same as the winter summer sale discount.

StrixVaria

@badp I thought there was a way to get it for around $5 somehow at one point.

badp

@StrixVaria wat

no, it was just $5 off. I think

StrixVaria

Like if you owned the previous one and preordered or something.

I am probably just misremembering something.

badp

18:45

Yeah, it was $5 off (-33%) if you owned BoI

(IIRC)

and during the winter sale it was 33% off again

at some point during the preorder period BoI was $1, too.

Origami Robot

I just looked at the DS tree for MH4U and I am drooling

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot Does that mean it almost defeated you?

Yuuki

@OrigamiRobot Ooo, weapon trees?

Origami Robot

@StrixVaria I conceded when they announced the MM N3DS

badp

er

hello there System

long time no see

what... what are you doing there

Yuuki

18:49

@OrigamiRobot Do they have the Charge Blade tree?

StrixVaria

Debating whether I want to try to get into MH4U.

Origami Robot

@Yuuki monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/MH4U:_Charge_Blade_Weapon_Tree

StrixVaria

I like the combat, but I don't like the grindy collecting to try to build gear.

badp

@StrixVaria Depends on how stupid the spelling of that "4" is. I mean, "tri"?

Unionhawk

Wait, the price is the same for the NN3DS and also the majora's mask edition?

Rapitor

18:50

@Unionhawk MM edition doesnt come with game

Origami Robot

@Unionhawk It doesn't come with the game

Unionhawk

Well, I guess "you have to shop at gamestop" is a price

Rapitor

it's at best buy

Frank

@OrigamiRobot Stuff like this makes me want to play all the more.

Origami Robot

@Unionhawk I got it from Best Buy

Unionhawk

18:50

Oh well then

I still don't have enough money for it

Oh well

Rapitor

the fact that it doesn't come with anything was a redlight for me..

Origami Robot

I am also interested in the charge blade and insect glaive

StrixVaria

I would use Switch Axe.

Yuuki

@OrigamiRobot <drools>

Unionhawk

@Rapitor Apparently the system is a vast improvement over the old 3ds or something

djsmiley2k

18:52

@SaintWacko no update that i know of, I'm just playing because i got it on PSN

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Good. GOOOOOODOD

Yuuki

@StrixVaria Switch Axe is fun times, but apparently the changelist for MH4U makes it look like it'll be more boring.

StrixVaria

@Yuuki :(

Rapitor

@Unionhawk i've never touched any of the DS family past the original.

StrixVaria

I really liked Switch Axe in MH3U.

Unionhawk

18:52

@Rapitor Oh, well, w/e

I enjoyed LBW, I enjoyed Pokemon

Yuuki

@StrixVaria They reduced damage coefficients on the vertical Sword slices while increasing the damage on the horizontal slices.

Unionhawk

...hell that's all I played on mine

StrixVaria

I used Switch Axe or Bow.

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot Wow. Okay, I'm getting it

Rapitor

i played smash 3ds on a friends xl. i hated it.

Origami Robot

18:52

Unionhawk

I guess I'll get MM when it comes out

SaintWacko

I just wish I had a N3DS

Yuuki

So now there's very little incentive to mix up your strikes unless you need to reach a tail.

Unionhawk

Just so I can play it not emulated

StrixVaria

@Yuuki Does it still have that attack where you thrust the sword forward and wiggle it and deal massive damage?

Origami Robot

18:53

Are you kidding me?

Yuuki

@StrixVaria Yeah.

StrixVaria

I'm good then.

Yuuki

@OrigamiRobot Damn, that's some impressive Dragon/Lightning.

Wait.

Wait.

Slime/Dragon Dual Swords??!!

Frank

Looks like they expanded the 3U trees, and added a couple more levels of upgrades.

Origami Robot

@Yuuki With 3 slots

Rapitor

18:54

hm.. i have negative moneys on my credit card balance. thanks for justifying pre-order

Wipqozn

and purple sharpness

Yuuki

@OrigamiRobot HOLY F--K.

Wipqozn

Those are are some nice bldaes

Unionhawk

I don't know if I'll get this game to play with you guys, or just listen in like I did last night. "OH GOD THERE'S SO MUCH FIRE"

Yuuki

Granted, you have to farm Fatalis for it...

Origami Robot

18:55

Slime/Ice

@Unionhawk Different game

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot I know

Origami Robot

Also don't tell on me!

Unionhawk

I am aware

Yuuki

"We're going to fix the OPness of Slime weapons by just putting Slime on everything."

Frank

@Unionhawk That reminds me; we have to come up with a way for voice communication.

badp

18:55

How do swords deal explosive damage

Frank

As the game won't have it, I believe.

Wipqozn

@badp Because magic

Yuuki

@badp Applies explosive slime.

Frank

@badp They don't; they apply slime. The slime explodes.

Wipqozn

Looks like I might not get to play the demo today :/

I need to head home, and won't be home for that long.

Toodles...FORNOW

Chippies

Frank

Also, how the weapons aren't permanently exploding, I don't know.

...Chipotle has tofu now?

Looks like Ancientshards have multiple upgrade paths now.

Yuuki

@Frank Still huge Dragon element or are they more varied?

Q: How do I break my game?

How do I break the game at the chest to get all/lots of the items? I know you need the D6 (already unlocked), but what else do I need to do and get?

binding-of-isaac-rebirth

Frank

18:57

The Gunlance has the regular dragon one, and fire, and ice.

Yuuki

Ooo.

Rapitor

pre orders will be up directly at nintendo soon

Frank

And it's looking to be the best ice one, so, if 3U was any indication, I'll be spending a ton of time farming those shards.

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot You're right, it'll be better when it's just "Uh... what happened to these trees?"

Frank

@Rapitor Would be nice, if they sell them directly, instead of just directing to Gamestop or Bestbuy or something.

badp

18:59

go play Saints Row 4 you fools

it's on a free weekend.

Unionhawk

@badp No

@badp I already own it

badp

@Unionhawk Did you play it?

Unionhawk

@badp Yes

badp

@Unionhawk You're excused.

Yuuki

@Rapitor If you mean they'll have links to other retailers, then yes.
