@LessPop_MoreFizz: I think I might have revealed a spoiler, can you delete the last comment? (This isn't worth a flag.)
@DragonLord it will be buried under the rest of the bridge comments

Q: Cloud gaming app on iOS to play LoL?

AnonymousI have heard of cloud gaming but I have only found OnLive, but it was discontinued. I want the app to be able to play League of Legends (a game that requires GPU). If it's possible, I want it to be able to accept game exe's. If it requires a computer as a server, I want to be able to work in ...

Q: I can't allocate more RAM to Minecraft

TandorvirI've looked at many different tutorials and Q&A websites, but I can't get it to work. Right now Minecraft will only start if I have the "-Xms1G" JVM argument; if I try to increase it, I get the error: "Error occurred during initialization of VM Could not reserve enough space for 2097152KB object...

@badp um... Can someone else tell me if they agree with this, that I have a pattern of being condescending and whatever else? I'm not trying to start a fight, I just want to know
Where do I ask questions about using Lua to mod Garry's Mod? I'm asking because the programming fits on SO and the game part fits here on Arqade.
00:16
Ticket for Age of Ultron purchased!
@ASCIIThenANSI imo as soon as you're doing actual modding, you want either Gamedev.SE or SO
@ASCIIThenANSI Game Development may be the right site, but you might want to lurk a bit
when chosing sites it helps to think in terms of demographics: on Arqade you're asking gamers for help with games (most of whom probably can't program a game), on GameDev/SO you'd be asking actual programmers
@Ixrec Actually, a lot of us are programmers anyway.
@Ixrec It's not about who you're asking, it's about what you're asking
If you're asking how to play a game, you ask here. If you're asking for help with scripting or something, ask on SO. If you're asking about mod writing, it might belong on GameDev
00:26
@Ixrec I was thinking Arqade because GameDev has no tag, and SO's has been abandoned.
@ASCIIThenANSI Where do you write the actual code? If it's not within the actual game, it doesn't belong on Arqade (in general).
@MBraedley It is in the game - as an addon. That's what confused me.
@murgatroid99 I honestly stopped paying attention to arguments in here, not ones you are involved in specifically, but yes most of the discussion in here are in a 'No I know better than you' sort of manner.. hence why I avoid them :)

Q: What "special" skins can be gifted in League?

Carolus CasebereSo my little brother wants the Smasung Ozone Galaxy Electronics Skins that are being given out on his birthday. I am wondering if they can be gifted or not. Please list the only skins that can be gifted. Thank you in advanced.

00:35
@ASCIIThenANSI I'm going to say no. One of the tutorials pages list Notepad++, Visual Studio, and Sublime Text as editors. From what I understand, you're just adding game modes with an existing language.
@GnomeSlice They were serving pirated music? :|
@MBraedley OK, thanks.
@StrixVaria I think by accident.
> the vast amount of music on the service
Did the record companies also force them to post that notice as an image?
Those monsters
@StrixVaria is grooveshark one of the ones you used?
00:38
@GnomeSlice No, Last.FM, Spotify, Rhapsody very briefly a few years ago.
Spotify for everything now, though.
I'm surprised they lasted this long tbh if they were offering unlicensed music.
Yeah same here.
@TimStone The agreement probably also required the "If you love music and respect the artists..." text.
Not sure why non-machine-readability is a requirement, though.
What's the problem with getting the text indexed by Google?
@DragonLord OCR has come a long way in the past decade
00:50
Now, I don't support any kind of piracy, but RIAA really knows how to leverage the law to force people to do some unsavory things...
...well beyond a takedown of content.
I think intellectual property legislation must be designed so that everyone, both content creators and consumers, can benefit.
2
Instead, lobbyists have hijacked the legislative system to produce laws that are out of balance.
The system as currently designed is ultimately strongly in favor of rightsholders in ways that do not benefit the public.

Q: How do the Spy's masks work?

ASCIIThenANSII have not played Team Fortress 2 (so forgive me if I've missed any details), but I couldn't help but notice that the Spy uses masks to disguise himself. To his teammates, he looks like he's just wearing a mask, but to the enemy team, he looks like whoever is on his mask. From my logic, my quest...

A quote out of a term paper I wrote a while back regarding intellectual property and technology:
> This bias towards copyright holders is, for the most part, the result of aggressive lobbying by media groups. These groups have a vested interest in stronger copyright protection [...]. Some groups, such as the Copyright Alliance, have gone so far as to try to shut out public opinion, expressing a strong hatred for public interest groups [...] who support a more balanced copyright system and stating that such public interest groups are in effect lying (Masnick, 2013).
This is the Masnick reference:
> Masnick, M. (2013, March 25). Copyright Lobby: The Public Has 'No Place In Policy Discussions'. Retrieved from techdirt.com/articles/20130322/23560222425/….
@DragonLord i feel you are preaching to the choir here
01:06
So apparently Google's anti-phishing extension injects its warning into the site itself
Which is bloody stupid, because the site is controlled by the phisher, so all they have to do is remove the warning with code on the site, and the user won't see the warning any more
> Because of this strong lobby, making copyright legislation more balanced will prove to be very challenging. An attempt by the Republican Study Committee to point out problems in the current copyright system was shot down hard by media groups like the MPAA and RIAA (Masnick, 2012).
> Masnick, M. (2012, November 17). That Was Fast: Hollywood Already Browbeat The Republicans Into Retracting Report On Copyright Reform. Retrieved from techdirt.com/articles/20121117/16492521084/….
As linked above:
> Enjoy the rest of your weekend and a meaningful Thanksgiving holiday....
I can sense the fear here.
@DragonLord fear?
Because copyright is so messed up these days, though, fixing it gets weird. If you were to change copyright laws, there is an almost guarantee that whatever you do, you have a large portion of content now out of protection that brands have built entire businesses and names around
The report was taken down due to a furious response from lobbyists.
For example, if we went back to the original length of copyright, everything created before 2000 is technically now public domain
Imagine the amount of content and the amount of business that completely destroys. So where do you draw the line becomes an insane and disastrous question.
01:17
@Ktash And would probably cause Disney to collapse under the weight of it's incoherent ramblings.
Not just Disney. They are an easy poster child, but so very many things.
@Ktash International treaties call for life + 50; this is from a 100+ year old agreement which probably predates all these controversies. The current law says life + 70.
Taking a short break from applying last color.
I think the right balance is something like life + 10, so that the author gets to benefit and that these benefits pass down to descendents but not discourage innovation.
@DragonLord Why should the author benefit beyond his life?
01:20
@PrivatePansy how is that possible without admin access to the site?
Also, on multi-author projects, how do you determine life anymore. Corporations own more copyrights than individuals these days
That's a hard question to answer but it's something that should be inherited to a limited degree IMO, just not long enough to discourage innovation
@Chippies It's a phishing site, not the real thing. The adversary controls the login page here, not the real operator of the site
And you still realize how many things that throws into public domain
Oops
For corporate works, the length is 95 years. I think this should be 50.
01:21
@DragonLord Studies have shown that shorter copyright terms cause more innovation, I believe.
@PrivatePansy I'm still a bit confused, how does google has the access to modify the website it doesn't own?
Copyright has very little to do with innovation...
Again, let's talk about 50 years, or even the change your proposing. The list of content suddenly out of copyright becomes ridiculous so quickly
user15026
@Ktash And when those corps get treated as people.....
@Chippies It's an extension that sits in the browser
01:22
@Unionhawk False. Copyright was created for innovation
Lots and lots and lots of studies on that
@PrivatePansy that's what I thought, but then even more so, how does it have access to modifying the website? Unless it's only done locally, in which case nothing the site owner does would affect the end result, right?
My interpretation of the word innovation makes patents the thing that are related, but I'm willing to be slightly wrong about that
I do not suggest dropping to 20 years or other similarly short period. This would definitely cause more harm than good.
@PrivatePansy it wouldn't modify the website on the server, it would modify it locally, right?
@Chippies It's done locally, after the site has been loaded, but because the extension injects code into the site itself, the site can also interfere with the extension injected code
user15026
01:23
@Ktash Yep!
Shiny parts!

The history of copyright as a thing is delicious, because it was supposed to be for good and right things, but as usual, we dun fucked up

Q: How to get airboat gun/jeep tau cannon in GMod?

ASCIIThenANSIIn Half-Life 2, there is a gun for the Airboat and a tau cannon for the Jeep. I would like to play with these in GMod. I tried enabling the respective bodygroups, but this is just a model. How can I get the airboat/Jeep to have the weapon mounted on it?

@Unionhawk For certain types of innovation, yes. But copyright also helps with lots of other kinds of innovation. Between trademark, patent, and copyright, the goal is to protect creators and innovators and allow them to make awesome things
@Ktash Sure
01:27
Copyright overall is a mess. But the problem is, fixing it is almost a bigger mess, and no one can decide what works best in the long run for how to handle both the transition and the result
user15026
@Ktash Which is why I support things like Creative Commons and the like - it doesn't fix the past, but it at least makes an attempt at a better future.
Yeah, it's a weird thing in general
Yeah, CC is good, but also struggles from a lot on it's own. For example, enforcement for CC projects is a nightmare, and mixing of licenses gets ridiculous and tricky at times
user15026
@Ktash Yeah, that's why I said attempt - it's far from a perfect solution.
Yep. Progress :)

I told @Wipqozn to start with The Warrior's Apprentice, though.
user15026
@JasonBerkan Shiny. Have a few things to read yet, but they keep getting recommended to me, so I thought I'd figure out the order
@AshleyNunn My recommendation is to start with The Warrior's Apprentice and then the stort story Mountains of Mourning. After that, anything goes.
user15026
Will do :)

sand castles with sticks and little metal flags in it are cool.
totally fits with the castle theme
@KevinvanderVelden Fancy painted little metal flags no less!
I see no fancy painted metal there
@KevinvanderVelden But it's supposed to look like metal!
@Frank yes, it looks like fancy painted metal. It is however plastic painted to look like fancy metal =p
@KevinvanderVelden Indeed.
(And you did a good job of it, however is still in effect! :D )
11:50
Also the "warm lemon flavoured beverage" is scarily worded.
@KevinvanderVelden And that's about half the pieces. I need to do it again for the other half that are supposed to be that color.
@Frank ugh, that's always tricky; Making things painted at 2 times look the same
@KevinvanderVelden Seeing as how there's three layers of paint on those pieces, that would happen even with pieces next to each other.
Heh true I suppose
I just get as close as I can.
People don't notice the slight difference, not unless they're right next to each other.

@KevinvanderVelden OK, I'll get two. (someone is offering two of them on ticketswap.nl, which I know to be a safe and good website for this kinda thing)
They are 30 euro.
@djsmiley2k That's mostly the paint itself I use, not me.
It tends to dry extremely quickly, making overspray really hard to accomplish.
but it's not all bitty either.

@Arperum sweet :D
Why 2? I thought you already had tickets?
@KevinvanderVelden Nope, not for sunday. I could still get one for saturday.
@badp wat
@djsmiley2k Well, the triple layers are because I go for metallic colors. So the best way to make that happen requires all three layers.
12:23
yeah
So, they are textured. Just not through paint running.

Q: Process of creating a videogame

user109746I'm currently now trying to get a fresh start in creating a videogame. Right now, the one I'm trying to create is only a project to help me gain some experience.I'm currently using the free version of Unity on my Mac OSX. So here's the question: What should be the first thing to put in? How?

@Lazers2.0 I was waiting for someone to suggest gamedev so I could say no
Luckily, someone obliged
13:10
4 dots? HERESY!
Gamedev really doesn't handle "how do i start" questions? I think they'd be pretty valid questions if they showed... effort
@Rapitor waaay too broad.
@Arperum if the question mentions what they are using, what they want to make, and how they want it work?
@Rapitor if they showed effort they wouldn't be "how do I start" questions. Then they'd be "I'm trying to do X, Y and Z don't work, how can I do X?"
well that was a fun flag
13:14
Uugh I really need to get 10k, I'm missing all the fun flags! =p
@KevinvanderVelden "I want to make a Shoot-em-up in UDK, where should I begin?" wouldn't be valid?
@Rapitor nope, too broad
A shoot-em-up game has too many components for a single question and we can't know what the user wants to know. Do they want to know how to set up UDK? Do a UI, make models, networking, enemies, AI, the bullets, etc
