Seeing a "Zero Punctuation" casually throw in a "President Trump" at the end of his schtick and realize that no, that wasn't actually joke, made me throw up a little in my brain.
the thing that amuses me the most about Trump is that he's being portrayed as the hardest right of the right wing, when, in reality, if you set aside the crypto-racist bullshit, he's probably the most liberal republican in the race.
AKA, most in line with the actual republican base
instead of the republican donor base
crypto-racist. I love it.
@RavenDreamer Noooo... if anything, the donor base is more liberal than the voter base these days.
Which is... problematic at times.
So that "AKA" should be an "AND", I suppose.
03:05
I don't even know anymore
See: Immigration, Retirement.
@Unionhawk Derived from:
Crypto-fascism is a pejorative term for the secret support for, or admiration of, fascism. The common usage is "crypto-fascist", one who practices this support. The term is used to imply that an individual or group keeps this support or admiration hidden to avoid political persecution or political suicide. The term is largely credited to Gore Vidal. In a television interview during the chaos of the 1968 Democratic National Convention, Vidal described William F. Buckley, Jr. as a "crypto-Nazi", later correcting himself as meaning to say "crypto-fascist". However, the term had appeared five years...
Which in turn, can be traced here:
I don't think that actually works here
@Unionhawk how so?
I mean, I guess a little because... I don't even know anymore
03:09
Zxcxzzxx
it's funny how politics is being discussed every day here for hours, but when @GnomeSlice mentions religion in a friendly discussion everyone shouts "NO TALK OF POLITICS OR RELIGION HERE"
@GnomeSlice I concur.
speaking of which - hello @GnomeSlice
Oh yeah, I forgot, Trump is a politician.
There's a clown joke in there if you didn't catch it
you folks are giving clowns bad rep
03:13
@Chippies I don't know who is yelling at gnomeslice about these things, but that person is a dummy and also, I reiterate that people hold @GnomeSlice to all sorts of weird standards that make no sense and to which nobody else is, or ought to be, held and that is also dumb.
Man, just had an awful experience in Destiny. Guy and his friend, both of which refuse to do anything. It was unreal.
@twobugs welcome to running with pugs
@Chippies 99% of the time it's fine in Destiny.
I usually encounter way worse people in WoW
@twobugs seems to be the case with games where you have to pay a ton of money to get into (base game + expansions) and the population isn't very high to begin with
Yeah, at least in Destiny, you can only be screwed by 2 people at once!
WoW will screw you with up to 39!
03:17
Wildstar has really good community, everyone's friendly, haven't encountered anyone being rude or super dumb yet
@RavenDreamer Hey, it's down to 24 now in LFR (which is the worst experience ever)
because those that still play are invested in the game
It just bewilders me that people can be so bad at Destiny because it's such a simpler game. You don't have to memorize rotations. You just point gun and shoot.
Is it FTP yet?
I might go back when it is.
@RavenDreamer closed beta for f2p is up, should go open beta soon and launch f2p in fall sometime
03:18
But like... they weren't even shooting. Just standing in the corner doing nothing
f2p will increase the population, but also increase the amount of morons and assholes, so eh
would be nice if there was a way to increase population without attracting assholes
We wiped like 4 times on Phogoth, which is one of the easier strike bosses. I had over 4x as many kills as the other two combined
And this is with a modifier that makes player weapons stronger.
I just... I don't get it.
They were both 30+ light level so they bought the expansions and had to actually play to get this far.
@twobugs or, you know, join enough games with people like you that pretty much carry them through
I encountered a lot of people like that in Tera where you just look at them and wonder - how the fuck did they get this far
Well one of them was light level 33, which is actually really hard to get carried to
03:22
wha?

Q: i cant import my account in minecraft, it says that it is invalid username or password

Kobii cant import my account in minecraft, it says that it is invalid username or password. I changed my username 2 times and tried all 3 usernames. None of them worked :( what do i do help.

I mean... it's possible this guy paid someone to carry him
You can buy 32 gear with vendor stuff
'an exotic + 1 PoE item gives you 33.
an exotic + 1 ascended item gives you 33.
@RavenDreamer Yeah, but to get to 33 you need to actually clear PoE 32, which is not easy
@twobugs Or nightfall, or iron banner rank 3 (this one requires time, not skill)
03:23
Good point on iron banner, but these guys could not do a nightfall
I don't know. Who cares. As long as I never see them again
does Destiny require teamwork?
in tera, majority of group dungeons could theoretically be soloed if you're strong and skilled enough
in Wildstar, there are mechanics that literally prevent you from soloing dungeons
For a lot of the stuff, not really. The dungeons are intentionally simple because the developers didn't know how well the matchmaking would work
I mean, I suppose you could solo some low level dungeons by being really overleveled
on one hand, not needing teamwork is good for pugs
but not as good for more serious players with guilds and whatnot
In the new expansion there are going to be more involved and challenging dungeons but... yikes. I really don't want to do that with people who do nothing
@twobugs you need a guild or whatever the Destiny equivalent is
03:27
I have one, but it's the seemingly entirely dead Something Awful guild
in every MMO there comes a time when you just can't keep running with pugs
@twobugs I'm sure finding a guild that's not dead is not that difficult
there's probably someone advertising their guild in some chat at least once an hour
I'd have to go on to Reddit or something and I'm lazy
does Destiny not have a global or zone chat?
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Does no one recruit?
03:29
I can't complain too much, got 3 nightfalls and 3 heroic strikes done tonight
fan made: destinylfg.net
There is no global chat, but destinylfg is really good
My house is supposed to have its basement and attic locked (restricted access, safety stuff or something because it's not technically our house)
The basement is apparently open
If the worst things that happened are I wasted some time in a dumb strike and had to party with some 8 year old kid who was really annoying in another, whatever
03:30
@Unionhawk could be full of corpses of previous tenants that wandered into basement/attic
(8 year old was basically the same, yelled at us the whole time and just died over and over)
Nope, they cleared those out when they did maintenance on our floor
@twobugs is it just me, or 8 year olds don't play PC MMOs?
@twobugs Is the goon guild for destiny dead? How predictable.
then again, not having native voice chat with pugs is just better in general
I hate voice chat
and I hate pugs
03:32
@Chippies They probably do
@Chippies They absolutely do
@LessPop_MoreFizz I know, right? Goon guilds seem to implode very quickly
@twobugs they tend to not get far enough though
@twobugs Either that, or they stick around forever and become overwhelmingly huge.
I think 8 year old hands are too small to reach all the keys PC MMOs require you to be able to press
so eventually they reach the grow-bigger-hands wall
Destiny doesn't really have guild support, though. You can join one, but you still only see folks on your personal friends list.
03:35
@RavenDreamer that sounds pointless
You also get a clan tag, which is cool, I guess?
The guild support is only really on Bungie's pretty nice site
It's weird. It's more than an afterthought... but it's still not a core feature.
Less Pop has faster fingers than I.

@Chippies Depends on the game, but generally, maybe?
03:42
OMG. Final Fantasy Portal is out in English.
Why should you care about this you ask?
BECAUSE IT INCLUDES TRIPLE TRIAD AS A GAME FOR YOUR CELLULAR TELEPHONE.

Q: SteamCMD change number

cryptonatI'm looking to get the change number for games in an attempt to build an autoupdating script. There are two methods that I know of for getting versioning information from steam: 1: WebAPI 2: SteamCMD app_update_info 1 app_info_print "APPID" Neither of these methods are working for some games....

04:13
> There are 585 registered candidates for president in 2016, including Sydneys Voluptuous Buttocks (independent), President Emperor Caesar (Democrat), Buddy The Cat (Democrat), Crawfish Crawfish (other), Bailey D Dog (independent), Buddy The Elf (write-in) and Lindsey Graham (Republican), none of whom – unlike Deez Nuts – received any support whatsoever in PPP’s North Carolina poll.
anyone from aus here?
@Lazers2.0 why y'all downvoting/closing this?
@Aequitas i don't get it either, seems on topic to me
04:30
@LessPop_MoreFizz We should go all in for Crawfish Crawfish. America deserves a delicious president.
@TimStone depending on your proclivities, the same could be said of "Deez Nuts"
hopefully he will declare what type of nuts he encompasses... almonds, cashews, peanuts... maybe an assorted trail mix
It seems to be asking about Steam's internal APIs. I'm not even sure if those APIs are actually supposed to be used externally
I didn't vote on it though
Japanese McDonald's has this avocado bacon cheeseburger and it is extremely good http://t.co/MdDrpwW0PI
Hmmmm
05:02
@PrivatePansy I voted up just to counteract the downvotes
@Aequitas same
@GodEmperorDune I wonder if when counteracting downvotes you match rep or votes?
05:20
@Aequitas 1 upvote counters 5 downvotes
05:44
@GodEmperorDune in terms of rep. In terms of votes you'll still see -4 which is always discouraging to see
05:54
@Aequitas well yeah
 
1 hour later…
07:01
Morning
07:21
Morning
@Aequitas @GodEmperorDune I don't know what post you guys are talking about, but pity upvotes are the worst. Only upvote if you think the question is good, don't upvote because you feel sorry for the poster that he got a downvote.
07:34
@badp aah, you're flying back in the middle of the night?
Also morning o/
Morning @Kevin
@KevinvanderVelden He should be back home by now, I guess.
Probably
@Aequitas because it is thursday
That alone is technically sufficient reason to downvote
I hate Thursdays. Could never get the hang of them.
07:57
today is my friday \o/
@djsmiley2k downvotes
@Arperum don't blame you. and I'm working from home.
@djsmiley2k I'm working from home 80-90% of the time.
Ah yeah
you go into the office once a week, right?
@djsmiley2k Normally, but I think the last time was end of july...
07:59
90% Of people hate these two, they work from home, find out why NOW!
I work from home every wednesday, does that count?
@djsmiley2k they are simply unemployed /s
rofl
I assure you I'm not :P
I assure you I am
Also today is my thursday
@badp Well at least we found it eventually :)
08:17
/me spins on his head
@IvoFlipse I still wonder what sort of emotional toll being driven around by an Italian took onto you
I've had worse
luckily it was late in the evening, so little traffic
and it wasn't in Rome :P
I'll take that as a compliment
:P
the North of Italy is at least still somewhat civilized :)
but I come from the south!
08:19
HA
then imagine how much more civilized you would become if you moved to the Netherlands
It'd just make it easier for me to jaywalk here
practice makes perfect.
I would become the King of Jaywalk.
I still don't get how we were supposed to go at that crossing you ART-ed earlier
@KevinvanderVelden bravely
And with no regard for safety
08:22
There probably was a zebra crossing a little behind us and we didn't notice
probably.
otherwise a different metro exit? Iunno
you picked a nice day to come to Amsterdam though @badp, with SAIL and all
or did you have to fly back already
SAIL?
My flight's at 9pm
you didn't notice a boatload of boats in Amsterdam?
Lots and lots of boats
08:27
I guess I know what to do after checkout?
Should be fun
As the name implies it's primarily about sailing boats as I recall
ooooh... of course. It's the yearly programmingonaboat.SE meetup
you caught me red handed
so long as I don't catch you red-faced.

Q: Combination for safe in Dishonored The Royal Physician mission

Mark FitzgeraldWhere can I find the combination for the safe behind the painting on the wall of the ruined building in The Royal Physician mission?

Things are moving quick

oh wait today is Thursday

Disocovering I have no ores in DF D:
@badp Well, you still have a free weekend, right?
yes
That's something
I'll go camping with the family in the Czech Republic tomorrow. This (hopefully) will be fun.
09:47
@5pike It'll be cheap at the very least.
@Arperum Yeah. We'll surely stock up on alcohol and tobacco. Probably.
It'll be also a perfect time for photos. The Czech Republic is gorgeous.

Q: Which arrows (wooden, large etc) are the same "weight" as "Special arrows"?

BenIn DkS1 and DkS2, there are several types if arrows you can use; both plain and "special" (like poison, or fire for example).

@KevinvanderVelden I am the terrible who flies in the night
Something like that
Hot damn: if I'm lucky, I can get a ~500 € lens for only 60€
I'm so glad I got a Sony DSLR. The capability to use old Minolta lenses has paid off already.
10:37
but what about triple-diffraction infra-lens EMP reduction
your DSLR could be disabled remotely with a single grenade!
@badp Damn, time to invest into some armour plating.
Just threaten them with nukes, there's no way that could go wrong
To be fair - the old Minolta lenses are built like tanks.

Just to make you all miserable. Especially @fredley.

That is horrible

Q: MCEdit Random Pasting

LuaCoderGuyI'm designing a server, and I need some help with MCEdit. I need to paste structures around the map randomly, and in certain biomes. For example, I have a custom jungle temple, and that needs to be on the surface in jungle biomes. Thanks in advance for any help.

@TimStone LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA‌​AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA‌​AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZY
Also you should consider going to bed earlier.
Like at 10pm or earlier.

@Arperum This. SO much this.
@5pike That mobile sucked anyway. Just one soft button made everything awkward
I had the version with two soft buttons and having a dedicated "back"/"options" button was a godsend

> EverQuest II developer Daybreak Game Companyis experimenting with a unique and devious strategy for dealing with the massive multiplayer online (MMO) game's disruptive players. Rather than trying to punish and educate them so they're fit to mingle with normal players, Daybreak is forcing them to play with other disruptive players on a "prison server," indefinitely.
Halo 3 tried that with leavers I think. Don't remember if it worked.
Titanfall did it with cheaters I know.
But I find it especially interesting in the context of a social MMO, being used for anti-social behavior.
It's like a giant festering Petri dish of fourteen year olds spouting racial slurs.
Absolutely. I'd be curious if they can get out of that hell, too
12:42
@PrivatePansy probably just to wipe it
@twobugs nope. Even people who go in voluntarily are permanently restricted to it.
Oh I thought that was GTA that did that, not titanfall
"Permanently" just buy a new copy
@GnomeSlice I believe they do as well

Q: Why is diversity in the workplace important?

AlexI recently saw a lot of news that tech companies put a lot of efforts to find technical talents that are different in something from who's working for particular employer - e.g. Google tries to hire more women, people with non-straight sexual orientation, African Americans and so on and so forth....

Poor workplace.se moderators... that is going to be a honeypot
@twobugs Well, I'd say it depends on the workplace ...
I just don't think it's a discussion that is going to end well on the internet, where people tend to be very hyperbolic
And given some of the other opinions I've seen openly expressed on SE, I imagine there are going to be quite a few people saying very bigoted things
