@Arperum ... and you'll want to playthrough at least twice :-)

Arperum

I did not specify what unit, nor am I able to.

Arperum

I didn't play the game, don't even own it.

@Haider Regardless of how long it takes, you should play it

Undertale is great

Haider

What's the plot again ?

ardaozkal

16:03

Spoilers.

Haider

Nevermind, I'll just play it now.

Arperum

@Haider Play to find out.

Haider

I got it cause of the hype.

ardaozkal

I'm even spoiling it by telling you that its plot is spoilers.

Yuuki

@Haider Things happen.

@Yuuki can you link it?

undertale is lame cc @uni

@Haider Don't look up the plot in advance. Don't research it before playing through for the first time.

Q: Steam Market buy order functionality

I have a question about how the buy order works on the Steam Market. I will use the following picture for my examples. Question Let's say I list my price at $11.41, after someone listed the $12.12 price. If a seller puts up the item for $11.41, will I get the item, or will the person who put...

Ronan Forman

16:15

@Unionhawk Yeah I guess there's just an api for it.

Although normally it just brings up an overlay, I don't think they tend to get information out.

Unionhawk

I dunno

Ronan Forman

Yeah you can. Games do it to show personalised leaderboards.

Arperum

@Lazers2.0 Gah. commented after misreading. Luckily I caught my mistake and removed my dumb comment.

GodEmperorDune

@Arperum its a strange question

fredley

@Unionhawk That literally had me wtfing for quite a while

Pony Island made me question everything

Q: Crystal biome still avaiable?

I remember that I once found on a planet, deep below very near the final lava level, a small Crystal cave. It was a very beaultiful block to play around. In the actual version, this minibiome is still avaiable? If it is, which kind of planet can generate it?

starbound

Wipqozn

@RonanForman I'm going with a work budy, so it'll be obvious I'm faking.

I blame @Sterno

Ronan Forman

16:34

@Wipqozn Play Darkest Dungeon for a little bit and become so stressed you can't leave.

Wipqozn

@RonanForman Clever girl

Ronan Forman

@Wipqozn Actually, going by game mechanics, going out is the correct way to reduce stress.

GodEmperorDune

@Wipqozn tell them you need to go on a quest of personal hardship and pain

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn beyond pluto you mean

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Maybe? Not sure if it's beyond pluto

Also Pluto isn't a planet

@GnomeSlice He even wrote a book about how he killed pluto

"How I killed pluto"

Ronan Forman

I find it weird that it's referred to like that, did discovering quarks "kill" atoms?

@Wipqozn Solution: go home early, play Darkest Dungeon

@Sterno Also

Sterno

What makes a particular drug "popular with gay men"?

fredley

@Sterno It's primarily a muscle relaxant, afaik.

Sterno

17:00

How does its popularity or lack thereof with gay men have anything to do with the rest of the story?

MadMAxJr

It polarizes the reader base.

SaintWacko

^

MadMAxJr

And for that small group that doesn't read the article or read the intent correctly, they spout pro gay drugs / anti gay drug opinions as if the drugs themselves had sexual orientation.

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley another for the "If you want to ban this drug because of deaths, maybe start with drugs that cause thousands more deaths, like alcohol."

Sterno

Excellent decision.

MadMAxJr

17:03

Just ban death, duh!

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden UK drug policy is entirely based on playing politics, rather than any sort of science or benefit/harm basis.

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley What drug policy isn't?

ardaozkal

Sterno

Just read a story about some dummy in Wisconsin who got drunk at a party, got in an argument with friends, and decided to walk home in -27 degree weather in fishnet stockings and a tanktop. Froze to death.

Kevin van der Velden

I mean, even the dutch drug policy has some irrationallity in it, though it's one of the best

Sterno

17:04

I have never been that drunk in my life. I don't know why people want to get that drunk.

MadMAxJr

I don't get ripped drunk, but I drink at the occasional social gathering to ease out of angry developer into social card player.

Kevin van der Velden

@Sterno this one?

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden Yeah, Dutch really does have a minimise harm approach, which is commendable

ardaozkal

fredley

Portugal does it well too

ardaozkal

17:05

this is the same, with the best places to complete objective 1 marked

Sterno

@KevinvanderVelden Yeah. Different site, same story

fredley

Ironically, the system the Portuguese use is called the 'British method', because that's what we used to do before jumping on the 'war on drugs' bandwagon.

Sterno

And 4 guys in my home town (also in Wisconsin) died two weeks ago when they decided to go out in a canoe at 2am, while really drunk, in -10F weather. It tipped. They all died.

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley I remember the thing where some bad batch of some illegal drug was being sold, what did we do? We made signs saying "Hey, there's some bad $drug on the market, get your free test kit at $places. We will not arrest you, record you, or anything."

fredley

@Sterno alcohol is the most dangerous drug by far

MadMAxJr

17:07

Don't go outside in the cold!

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden Yup, I remember that

That is how you drugs

Kevin van der Velden

Yup

MadMAxJr

Unless you're escaping John Carpenter's The Thing. Then maybe outside.

Kevin van der Velden

I mean, I'm rarely patriotic, but we do do a few things right

Sterno

@Wipqozn I'm playing Darkest Dungeon. RIGHT NOW.

MadMAxJr

17:08

That's better than the Dorkest Dungeon, which is full of bad fan fiction creations.

Sterno

Unionhawk

@fredley I'd put heroin way above alcohol on the danger scale but you're not entirely wrong

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk yes but we're not talking about heroin

Unionhawk

Okay, but he did say most dangerous by far

badp

error

Kevin van der Velden

17:11

@Unionhawk oh there

Well, depends on how you define dangerous

badp

How far up on the scale is tobacco?

Kevin van der Velden

I mean yes, taking heroin is more likely to OD you, but alcohol is used way more so it does more harm over-all

@badp IIRC more lethal then alcohol, also has the disadvantage of directly harming people around you

What a jerk

Kevin van der Velden

Though it doesn't cause the mind altering things alcohol does

Tim Stone

@KevinvanderVelden Don't worry, here in America we're trying to fix that by getting people hopped up on opioids at all opportunities

badp

17:14

@KevinvanderVelden you tell that to people who struggle quitting

Sterno

TIL that certain party combinations have names, and when you slot people in that order the name shows up

cc @Wipqozn

Kevin van der Velden

@badp alcohol doesn't do that (except in rare cases), I stand by my statement

badp

A teammate said "hey guys I'm trying to quit smoking"; one hour later another guy says "I'm going for a smoke"

and then three hours later, and then five hours later, and then you realise that unless you smoke you can't really hang out with smokers

which in my case is "everyone on my team but me and another guy"

Kevin van der Velden

At my work we've solved that by having only 1 smoker

fredley

@Unionhawk I'd agree, but alcohol is surprisingly close

badp

17:18

I even had someone advocating smoking to me here in A'dam

"It keeps you calm, it keeps you focused, it gives you time to distance yourself"

Right, thanks, but no thanks

Dragonrage

@badp Don't mind the whole risk of cancer part, that irrelevant

badp

Who cares about breathing anyway

Dragonrage

I can stop breathing whenever I want, so it must not be important.

Kevin van der Velden

I mean, all of those things aren't part of smoking. They're part of taking a break and going outside for a bit

badp

Ugh, outside. It's where all those PEOPLE are

fredley

17:22

I think in Beijing smoking is probably good for you, comparable to breathing unfiltered air

Who was it in here who smoked?

Are they still alive?

badp

Did you know? I'm outside right now. There's people around me. Gross!

Dragonrage

@fredley From their lack of response, they probably died.

badp

You are by osmosis surrounded by people right now

To be fair, the dangers of smoking are really overstated

Kevin van der Velden

He's gone forever

fredley

Smoking is linked to cancer, but the rates are really low

You're almost certainly going to die of something else

Kevin van der Velden

And the extra heart failure rate?

fredley

hi guys i'm about to buy a used ps4 in an hour. what should i check in (software) or on (codes on the console) the console ? i just know it's 1216a 500GB

ps4

Sterno

Well shit. I just got to the hag and forgot to give my frontliner a skill that hits rank 3

Kevin van der Velden

@Lazers2.0 this is not shopping recommendation, it's asking for things to check when buying used

StrixVaria

@Sterno This sounds like a classic roguelike moment, where you're fucked the first time you get to a place simply because you didn't have knowledge of how a place worked before you got there the first time.

Sterno

@StrixVaria No, I knew. I even took the skill. But you can only "equip" 4 at once and I forgot to change before I got to the fight.

So I retreated, stressing everyone out, and equipped it

Then found out it only works from the back rank

:(

StrixVaria

17:43

@Sterno Did you know the first time you got this far?

Dragonrage

is a bugle a good weapon for a pastamancer?

StrixVaria

I'm just not a huge fan of a game teaching you how it works by making you repeatedly die to learn what's going on.

Dark Souls actually straddles that line really well, IMO, but if you fail at that style it's really bad.

Sterno

@StrixVaria No

StrixVaria

@Sterno I'm probably being too harsh, because there's probably a party configuration that you can set up that's pretty much all-around viable against whatever it throws at you.

Q: What is the most efficient way to farm enderpearls?

I need several enderpearls to create Eye of Enders for portal I found (to open the end portal). However, I am having a hard time farming endermen due to them being scarce and the drop rate of enderpearls. Is there an efficient way to farm enderpearls?

minecraft xbox-one

Sterno

@StrixVaria I'm okay with getting in a bad situation because you didn't know about it beforehand. And it's still winnable... just way harder

well, unless you have no one who can attack the back rank, but that's just bad planning

Dragonrage

Sterno

@AshleyNunn You were saved by @Wipqozn's incompetence. He didn't have any way to attack the hag, so instead he spent the whole fight beating on the stew pot and occasionally getting you out of it.

@AshleyNunn what flag is appropriate?

StrixVaria

@badp Dark Souls does it in a way that feels "fair". I guess I'm more objecting to games that do it unfairly.
