Q: How do I get a golden Gargwa Egg?

I got a quest to gather a couple Gargwa eggs. Easy enough, the game properly explained how you get them. Just sneak up on the gargwa and give them a slap on the back. It did not explain how I get the golden egg for the subquest though. Do I have to search for a Golden Gargwa to get a golden egg?...

@Frank IIRC good enough that most competitive fighting tournaments will only use them

badp

or maybe there was another reason?

I don't remember precisely. Hence the ping at @casperone.

Frank

@badp That doesn't sound quite right; TV's have pretty darn good refresh rates, themselves.

Unionhawk

It is response time

And I believe Apex used only CRTs

badp

Apparently they use CRTs for Smash because Smash gives a NTCS/PAL signal

Unionhawk

18:07

for example

Sterno

@PrivatePansy Why?

badp

and any kind of modern monitor would have to convert that signal to do something useful with them

so they don't use any kind of modern monitor.

Unionhawk

@badp {NTSC} U {PAL} = {all possible signal sources from a nintendo console}

badp

but that's just because the game is old.

@Unionhawk HDMI?

@badp yes it does, I mean. It's shipped with an HDMI cable according to wikipedia

MBraedley

@badp 240i

Unionhawk

I mean, you irk me all the time but the answer is never serial voting

oh my god Z

> Apparently [Besieged] has some sort of part limit you should adhere to. I'm sitting at 450 parts, and the game... really doesn't like that.

Frank

18:12

@Unionhawk So, it's like KSP.

Kevin van der Velden

It's like any physics game

Powerlord

I thought NTSC was 480i, just like PAL is 576i.

Sterno

@Frank Maybe some just happened to be reading ADOM, GTAIV, and MH questions in the span of 4 minutes and didn't like all your answers!

TOTALLY PLAUSIBLE

@Sterno IT TOTALLY IS! But not really.

Unionhawk

@Sterno Nope, not possible. Bad faith only faith.

Frank

18:14

Not that I really care; I don't even notice the rep loss.

Sterno

I mean, what games go together better than ADOM, GTA, and MH?

GTA the Roguelike, coming soon

Unionhawk

GTA and like, Club Penguin, obviously

Powerlord

Also, NTSC is "60fps" and by that we mean really 30fps because it draws every other line every frame.

Frank

Monster Hunter as a roguelike would be pretty darn awesome.

badp

I'm just happy we don't have to put up with interlaced anything anymore

Frank

18:15

But...wouldn't really BE Monster Hunter anymore, at that point.

Unionhawk

NTSC is technically 59.whatever/29.whatever, and PAL is 30/60

Sterno

Hand of Fate looks really odd

(which makes PAL slightly faster than NTSC if text is pretty much the same)

@Unionhawk I thought PAL was 50 or 60.

Unionhawk

Don't remember

I know NTSC is some random value less than even 30 or even 60, and PAL is even numbers

Powerlord

18:34

One of the big problems with games in the 90s is that certain companies (coughenixcough) would just slow down the game instead of reprogramming it.

Unionhawk

So, for like, WWHD, Spanish is fastest NTSC version, Italian is fastest overall if you have a PAL Wii U

Powerlord

Incidentally, if you ever play Terranigma, emulate it using the patch that ups the speed.

badp

@Unionhawk That's makes me think the Italian translation must be garbage

Powerlord

...because the English version is an Enix UK version... which slowed down the game instead of reprogramming it.

badp

How can Italian possibly be terser, or use less characters, than English?

Unionhawk

18:36

Text speed is so fast in WWHD that it really doesn't matter that much

Except JP didn't get the text speed upgrade

Have I mentioned how nice HDTVs are with their 720i/p and 1080i/p international standards?

badp

1080i? frowns

Powerlord

@badp Yeah, but those really old HDTVs may only support 720p/1080i

I mean, modern ones support 4k anyway, right?

Wipqozn

@Sterno Good thing it was cancelled!

Powerlord

18:38

(I admit, I don't know the resolution that 4k uses)

Sterno

@Wipqozn Why are you trying to make me cry?

I miss Troy and Abed

Powerlord

as opposed to 720 and 1080 which are 1440x720 and 1920x1080 respectively.

Unionhawk

Because he hates you

Wipqozn

@Sterno Because I'm a jerk.

badp

@Powerlord I think it's just 1080p×4 both dimensions

> 4K has become the common name for ultra-high-definition television (UHDTV), although its resolution is only 3840 x 2160 (at a 16:9, or 1.78:1 aspect ratio), which is lower than the movie projection industry standard of 4096 x 2160 (at a 19:10 or 1.9:1 aspect ratio).[2]

Kevin van der Velden

It is a dumb name because it is suddenly measuring something else

Powerlord

Speaking of ks, I wonder how many systems will have issues in 2038.

Sterno

Six seasons and a movie!

Unionhawk

@Powerlord 5

Kevin van der Velden

18:42

@Powerlord quite a bit I imagine

Unionhawk

Exactly 5

Powerlord

aka the 2k38 problem

Year 2038 problem

The Year 2038 problem is an issue for computing and data storage situations in which time values are stored or calculated as a signed 32-bit integer, and this number is interpreted as the number of seconds since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970 ("the epoch"). Such implementations cannot encode times after 03:14:07 UTC on 19 January 2038, a problem analogous to the "Y2K problem" (also known as the "Millennium Bug"), in which 2-digit values representing the number of years since 1900 could not encode the year 2000 or later. Most 32-bit Unix-like systems store and manipulate time in this "Unix time...

Anyway, I know modern Linux distros updated time_t to be 64-bit.

Unionhawk

Yes, I know

Powerlord

However, anything compiled on an older version would need to be recompiled

Unionhawk

Exactly 5 people will have systems in 32 bit by 2038

> On June 30, the day the cast's contracts were due to expire, Yahoo! announced it had ordered a 13-episode sixth season to stream on Yahoo! Screen, including the main cast along with executive producers Dan Harmon, Chris McKenna, Russ Krasnoff, and Gary Foster.

WAIT A MINUTE. THERE'S MORE COMMUNITY?

Kevin van der Velden

It could be that most potential problems will simply be fixed by the machines breaking

Powerlord

@Unionhawk Doesn't matter what bit the system is as long as the system it was compiled on only had 32-bit time_t values

Unionhawk

Yes

Powerlord

I wonder if I look at time_t in the various windows headers what its value is.

Or heaven forbid some program cast a time_t to an int.

I am so excite.

Since Game of Thrones has shown that there's interest in fantasy books to screen adaptations.

Which is almost guaranteed why REE wants to hold onto the rights.

@Powerlord can you even imagine how many routers, switches and other network infrastructure is still using some old NIX distro ?

Powerlord

@tereško Large amounts.

Sterno

I like that being on HBO guarantees that Game of Thrones will actually have an ending

Kevin van der Velden

18:50

@tereško how many of those have a real time clock though

Powerlord

Hell, there are companies that still use Mainframes for their COBOL programs.

Unionhawk

Nope, exactly 5

Kevin van der Velden

Is that a problem? Serious question

Powerlord

@Sterno They clearly should have had it on FOX.

Popular series, check. Ratings doing OK, check. Cancel the series? YES!

@KevinvanderVelden you mean like GPS satellites ? DNS backbones ?

you know , the small things

Kevin van der Velden

@tereško yeeaah, those aren't on some old NIX distro

Which was what the question was about =p

tereško

I am pretty sure that satellites are

Kevin van der Velden

They have ridiculously accurate clocks (assuming we're still talking about GPS), the important bits don't use the int32 unix epoch cause that's in seconds

Also, they have a design life of 15 years

If I notice bad math in our analysis routine, what are the chances that the customer will too (realizing that the customer isn't a group of engineers or statisticians)?

Yuuki

@MBraedley Depends on whether bad math results in incorrect answers?

MBraedley

@Yuuki It's not a matter of if the answers are correct or incorrect, it's a matter of if the answers are acceptable or unacceptable.

Yuuki

@MBraedley You only asked whether or not the customer will notice the bad math.

Yes, bad math is unacceptable.

But unless the bad math will result incorrect answers, the customer most likely won't notice.

murgatroid99

@MBraedley I don't understand what this means

MBraedley

@murgatroid99 This math is being used to prove that we meet a certain requirement, ergo if the result (i.e. the answer) passes the requirement, it's acceptable.

Kevin van der Velden

That... could potentially lead to fraud charges if that's in a contract

murgatroid99

@MBraedley So by "acceptable" you mean "within a certain range"?

MBraedley
