@twobugs *gasp* Not Canada!
I think I'd need to figure out the VGA output for the thing, but... That's... Probably possible?
It's not even fun to visit Canada anymore :( It used to be American money was worth like twice as much as a Canadian dollar but that's not true anymore
@twobugs Thanks Obama
I wished my current module doing ASM had problems as interesting as that
Gosh darn Obama. Ruining my trips to Canada, making my manga come out on Monday instead of Friday...
15:03
The most challenging thing we had to implement... was binary search
I use assembler for work!
Well, actually, TPF
But pretty much the same thing
TIL @SaintWacko is a compiler
Anyone got some recommendation for wireless gaming headset/headphones (mic is not that important since i got a good quality table mic)
~ SaintWacko main.c -o main.o
@Blem Why wireless?
15:04
@SaintWacko i am getting tired of wires getting pulled lose
main.c:24: parse error before '@fredley'
@SaintWacko I have wireless headphones. Completely wireless in fact, the sound is generated by these boxes on my desk and it wirelessly travels to my ears
I have this set, they're awesome.
@fredley NICE TRY
15:06
@SaintWacko lol parse error
@fredley dude it's monday, today is bad enough
@StrixVaria Monday comes after Sunday
Which comes after Saturday
Tuesday is afterwards
You don't want this work week to end...?
@SaintWacko those look so odd
@Chippies They do, but they're amazing
They're technically a 2.2 speaker system
Because each speaker has a downward firing subwoofer in the base
hmm
is oneboxer discriminating against amazon.ca?
Man, if I have decent WiFi at the hotel, I am going to send you all the Archer pings @TomMedley
Why is @fredley being @TomMedley?
my speakers don't have a sub, but they more than make up for it with crystal clear highs and mids
15:09
@Arperum I also saw that
@Arperum I did what needed to be done.
7
hahahahahahahahaha
GG
the bass is alright, but of course can't compete with a sub
@StrixVaria I assumed so.
That was not funny
15:09
Yes it was
@Arperum because we would've got away if not for those meddling Toms!
They're going to get rid of our chat one of these days
But until then, the science must continue
RIP @StrixVaria
wait a second. @fredley's username and gravatar updated without refreshing the page.
15:14
@Arperum *waves fingers* Maaaaagic
They didn't for me...
Sometimes it does that particularly with account reassociation
Sometimes it doesn't
Oh, @Uni, did you ever get Wind Waker HD working?
Nuuup
15:15
:( That sucks man, it works fine on my Wii U
I have a repair set up, I just need to pack it up and ship it out
It's under a full warranty, so
That's good, but still a pain
Does anybody know how to clear a YouTube instance from android
Which is nice, since it's a refurbished system
Never goes away when I try to make it
After an hour or so it just disappears on its own
15:16
Ahahahaha
@fredley strikes again
Ita fucking annoying, it made my phone slow way down and paused my music
It's
This joke is stupid and I hate it
10/10, would troll again
@GnomeSlice swipe it to left?
or right
Yeah, just in the regular "show all open windows" thing
@Chippies nope, won't let me, just bounces back
15:17
@twobugs It's not just WWHD, I also got intermittent crashes on Mario Kart 8 (which I purchased through the eShop)
@GnomeSlice not the notification
There's an X you can tap on it too, but it appears to do nothing.
@GnomeSlice Open and re-close the app?
@GnomeSlice What happens if you press the x on the notification?
Oh
@GnomeSlice hold the context menu button, should let you open task manager
15:17
I already closed the app
@Unionhawk That's weird, probably an HDD problem them
Turn off your phone, take out the battery
@KevinvanderVelden He's using some third party youtube app, looks like
@SaintWacko irrelevant
@SaintWacko no, its the stock app
15:18
Killing running applications is the same for all aps
@twobugs Probably, dunno
The top one is not YouTube
@GnomeSlice Open up the app and go back to the main screen of the youtube app, then the playing video should show up in the bottom right corner of the screen. Swipe it off the screen to the side
Should make it go away
Nope, I guess because it's not playing?
did you try task manager?
15:21
Are you doing it on the notification?
Yes
NO
but the notification left on its own as it usually does so problem solved I guess
I've never even seen that notification
Whenever this happens there appears to be no way to clear it
Might be a Bluetooth thing
perhaps you should figure out why the notification shows up to begin with
Oh yeah, 301+ is dead
I forgot
15:24
Whenever I click a YouTube link
It's like the Now Playing thing for my music player
Which is weird because YouTube Wong even play in the background afaik
Wont
maybe it's some background playing thing you can disable in the youtube app
Maybe, good idea
About to start work, peace
@GnomeSlice The YouTube Mute app might fix it
Ugh, encountered a small bug with one of my functions on iOS safari. I'd love to debug it but I can't figure out how to get any feedback without actually having a mac of my own.
15:27
@fredley No.
@fredley You're evil.
@twobugs Nope, you need to buy a mac
Would you link me to the proper website, @fredley?

Q: Add "console-settings" tag for console problems related to unit's system settings

BorWalIn making a question about the GameCube's settings, I noticed that there wasn't a tag for console settings. How come there isn't one?

15:29
I hate you even more @fredley
@SepiaLazers because is good enough
afaic
I'm surprised no one has made a userscript that just removes all links by @fredley
@Chippies Because I'm the only one who makes userscripts?
@fredley Yeah, I know
but I mean, that one that warns you about friday links pretty much already removes all your links anyway
I'm going to make a userscript that replaces @fredley with Archer and all of his messages with Archer quotes
15:31
I mean, I did make a script that warns you about RB links
What more do you want?
@twobugs I probably won't install it
user15026
Less RB links?
Well jokes on you because I'm probably not going to make it
@twobugs and then screenshots every message and sends the link to @fredley
so he can enjoy it without actually installing the script
user15026
Because on mobile I can't see what is and isn't an RB link and I find them frustrating.
I could incorporate it into Chatsey
user15026
15:32
It's one of those things that has been done so much it has, honestly, lost its amusement value for me.

@AshleyNunn yess
user15026
I shouldn't need to be concerned to click links in a chat room I frequent.
@Chippies Did you see the one with the same trap and Codsworth?
@Yuuki probably not, I only see what other people link me to
15:36
@Yuuki I expected a witty remark after he got shot to death
Critter Mound is murdering my chrome
window.localStorage.clear()
This console command will (probably) solve the problem for you.
(I have no idea how the game works, but localStoage is usually a pretty good bet)
It will probably also reset progress?
That seems like the best solution for that kind of thing
@Arperum Exactly
15:41
@Arperum only if it works
Hah. Well, clearing my cache seems to have cleared things up for now.
IIRC it does indeed use localstorage.
I'm on scorpions now. Closing in on the end
I've beaten everything, got all stats maxed out, and still need to do I don't know how many wars to get the achievements to win 7.5k battles and 10k battles.
I would just say grind battles in the first war? I think you can revisit them
15:45
The last war was extremely tedious. As literally every single fight cost me 3 soldiers. and if you didn't replace them the next fight killed them all.
Sounds horrible. That's vs Tarantulas, right?
The enemy level didn't matter, the lvl 1 tarantula's were exactly as deadly as the lvl 15 ones.
level 10+ tarantulas have a score over 1 million...
The only really dangerous ones seem to be the solo enemies and the huge number of enemies
Solo because they're absurdly strong, huge numbers because the critter AI is nonexistent
Tarantulas onehitKO you. Guaranteed. Even at maxed out stats.
Cool. Sounds like a fun gameplay mechanic.
Pause not - borat
15:48
I'm at 17k score, does it get faster at any point?
Yeah, slowly
it also seems that unless I constantly swap around my king/queen for new ones, there's absolutely no progress either
The score increases do, the wars don't
Yes, that's the point I think
@Chippies yes, you have to do that.
it's a crappy incremental considering there's pretty much no idle progress
15:49
I assume there is a max range a stat can go up in one step, so you have to upgrade queen/king
@Chippies And since the dev died, it's not going to get fixed.
@Arperum yeah, those numbers are in the How To Play somewhere
@Chippies Sod, but otherwise I agree.
Wait, the dev actually died? RIP. That's sad :(
@twobugs Yes.
@twobugs sod doesn't really help nearly as much as score does
I mean, you want both, but the costs go up so much per each purchase, it means nothing without getting a higher score
Yeah, exactly
It has a lot of great concepts, but needs fleshing out and balancing
15:52
ANd you can only get 9 of each thing anyway.
You need 9 soldiers for the last war though.
also, I've been running the game for 3 days without a single sod upgrade and I'm still 1.5m shy from the 5m upgrades
I'm almost able to afford my first 5bil upgrade
Probably going to focus on making more sod first
I mean, yeah, 5bil, not mil
@Chippies I don't think it does anything when the tab isn't loaded.
It doesn't, I tested
15:53
@Arperum I don't close the tab and I don't shut down laptop
ALso: just keep upgrading king/queen, and send all offspring that has a non-green score to workers.
it doesn't use much cpu power or memory, so I don't care if it runs in background
@Arperum I do that, I just can't be bothered to sit all day swapping out king/queen
I usually use all the boosts and then call it quits for at least couple hours

Q: How do I dispose of creature corpses?

DCShannonThere is already a question about disposing corpses, but the accepted answer is to use the console. I'm on playing on XBox One, so I don't have access to the console. I can pick up and drag human corpses, but not creatures. At least, not the ones I want moved. The molerats that attacked the red...

Q: Game like Brigador, but from early 2000s/late 90s, with a hoverbot

AjoyI am looking to identify a PC game which I played around late 90's to early 2000s, somewhat similar to the new game Brigador, which is in steam early access now. But whilst Brigador is having a mech as the playable character, the game I had used to have a hovercraft kind of robot/vehicle. It used...

Q: Cs Go: Bind the "\" key to crouch/duck

wezzie007Cs Go: Hello, I want to bind the "\" key to crouch/duck. So I put bind \ +duck in the console, but if I pressed "\" my character didn't duck. Can somebody help me? Thank you in advance!

And make sure if you get a new mutation that it gets into both king and queen as exp.
It works decently for me since I just do some programming and then swap back for a few seconds
15:55
@Chippies The boost pads you find in wars also refill your boosts.
@Arperum yeah, I got them sorted by mutations, so I always get new mutations in the morning
the game started to lag hardcore for me after i was at 9/9 workers and had like 18-20 mutations across the board
@Chippies Yup, and make sure you don't lose mutation you got from wars, because you can't get these again without resetting your complete game.
@GodEmperorDune That too.
@Arperum Idk if I lost any or not, I probably did, because I didn't know anything about mutations until I had finished couple maps
meh, honestly, I think I should just close the game
it's not a lot of fun for the amount of effort it takes
that's it, gone, no more critters, POOF!
You... you killed them!
16:01
Good job!
@twobugs Nah, he spared them from being murdered in pointless wars.

Q: How do i make all torches have fire aspect?

ElevenStormsI wanted to make all torches (Crafted and found) have fire aspect using commands. I tried some different things but they didn't work out. Does anyone else have any ideas?

@Lazers2.0 Hmm... this would get messy fast.
Probably
^^ Not an RB link
@fredley Can attest. I clicked it. And was not subjected to RB. I'm also not a troll who would say so to troll people into clicking.
@Arperum Well now you've just turned this into a conspiracy.
16:40
@RonanForman Sounds like a job well done then.

Q: Cybernetic pieces looted off of Kellogg: What are they for?

TrillianI looted a cybernetic pain inhibitor and cybernetic limb actuator off of Kellogg's body and they are worth quite a bit of caps. I can't tell, however, if they're useful for anything else... like, are they something you can give to Valentine, for instance? Or are they just sellable junk pieces?

Off to Canada!
@twobugs Have fun with all the other Canadians

Q: Are power armor mods transferable?

DalliumI've reached the point where I have the skills to really start putting some significant upgrades into my T-45 armor, but the materials required are still fairly precious. If I upgrade T-45, will I be able to transfer it to T-60 or higher?

> Games enthusiast. Don't call me a gamer.
?
Game theorist maybe
Academic perspective, etc
Also these avatars with the french flag overlayed on them are dumb
Do something that actually provides support instead of clicking a button on Facebook

Yeah, like going out, finding a terrorist, and strangling him with your bare hands. TRUE SUPPORT.

HamStare
@Texenox Let's not make fun of people just because they're not here.
The first rule of chat is "be nice".
17:49
@StrixVaria A'ight.
Hang on
HamStare @fredley
HamStare @Unionhawk
:(
ಠ_ಠ
@Unionhawk If HamStare is even turned on, @fredley implemented a thing so it only works for him.
@Texenox ಠ_ಠ
I never turn it on or off
Sometimes it is on, and sometimes it is off
The Ham has a life of its own
17:50
@Unionhawk Why are you dragging me into this?
@StrixVaria I was trying to use @fredley as a stare generator
@fredley's meat has a mind of it's own.
Since I knew me trying it would cause that response
And I was right
@Unionhawk But the question remains, why drag me into it?
@Unionhawk Basically you fail at this. Even if it was enabled, the correct usage would be: HamStare @Texenox
17:52
I'm not dragging you anywhere, it's in response to a thing that @StrixVaria already addressed I guess
GlutenfreeStare
lern2hamstare
@fredley I knew it wasn't enabled.
For, me, anyway
O, K,

HamKick @StrixVaria
It's the whole "@OrigamiRob" use case
Except with you
@fredley If you implement this (please don't), it should definitely associate the account to lifehacks before the kick.
I have no idea what is going on. So lets just push the reset button.
@OrigamiRob's was flawed because you could add free text to it
17:54
@fredley and that self pings were enabled
That was a dark time
(they aren't anymore)
@Texenox
Told you.
Ah, yeahp.
17:57
tl;dr it's easy to manipulate @fredley's AI
Not as easy as it is to manipulate @uni
Oh by the way, is @uni at uni at the moment?
@fredley I'm interested.
How should I do that?
@StrixVaria Unless you're talking to @Wipqozn. Then don't be nice.
@Sterno: Because simply blaming @Wipqozn isn't enough.
He's been playing some Final Fantasy MMO instead of Fallout 4. Clearly, he deserves mockery.
18:07
Sarcastic options are best options
I haven't played any Fallout games
Also, I'm three days late to posting this.
> Friday the 13th
@Texenox wants to flag
Man, it would have been better if I posted this when it was actually Friday the 13th.

Q: Why can't I transfer my Pokemon?

MOD ABUSE
Ah, well, it was bound to be deleted.
Also.
A montage of some game-breaking glitches in the game and the guy's reaction.
cc @Sterno :^)
If a bethesda game didn't have bugs i'd be disappointed
It says he had 150 corrupted files. That makes all the freezes and glitches a lot less comical and a lot more "no shit"
@Sterno Still, I bet Bethesda was responsible.
Or @Wipqozn, even.

18:57
Bethesda releasing a bug-free game is about as likely as DiCaprio winning an Oscar. If the universe operated under common sense, it should have happened by now. But it hasn't and never will and the fact that it hasn't is now a meme.
@Yuuki Accurate analogy.
So, have you watched the video, then?
Nope. Don't feel watching a bug montage.
@Yuuki The reactions are absolutely amazing, though.
And they're mainly only the game crashing at random times.
I don't know if it's because my computer is better than average or just shitty enough to where I'm not affected by most bugs.
> I verified the game after and had 150 corrupted files...
19:01
Oh, I'm not saying the bugs don't exist. I'm just saying that I personally haven't experienced any of them.
@Texenox How is bethesda responsible for you have corrupted files?
@Arperum Something could have happened in-game that screwed the game up that bad.
Y'never know.
@badp are you around somewhere?
