lol, netflix has some new show that is about lifehacks
Yeah, TruTV has it apparently
this one is natgeo
and it looks pretty terrible
user15026
I just get mad because most of the time "lifehacks" are just common sense stuff
user15026
and it's like all those "recipe" videos - no one actually does any of the stuff
HACK THE PLANET
19:05
Use scissors instead of your teeth to open a sealed plastic bag. #lifehacks
user15026
Today is going so slowly..... :(
I remember I saw an awful TruTV thing where they were raging about Twitter
People being mad at Twitter is one of the dumbest things
If you park poorly I will destroy you
19:20
@AshleyNunn Yeah. :( This whole week has been dragging for me.

Q: Is there any way to get a command block on minecraft xbox one withoutout importing it from the 360?

TrevMCC38I like to get blocks in minecraft console that you can't normally get. Normally, I would put the mods or blocks on an xbox 360 world and import them to my xbox one, however, I would like command blocks on my xbox one world, How would i do this?

19:27
@Dragonrage You don't need to ping me twice in the same sentence
@twobugs cc @twobugs
runs
@twobugs @twobugs Why shouldn't we ping @twobugs more than once in a sentence, @twobugs?
hides behind @Unionhawk
@twobugs i was pinging both bugs

I happened to be looking at lifehacks.
And this just stood out for the comments.

Q: How to cash in cheque not in my name with not negotiable

user1589188A cheque with "NOT NEGOTIABLE" printed on it already, not in your name. Normally, if you present this cheque to an ordinary teller, saying you want to deposit that into your account, he/she will tell you no, it is not permitted and suggest you to ask the payer to reissue a correct one. But in f...

@MadMAxJr a.k.a. how do I cash a stolen check?
19:30
@Yuuki #lifehacks
Woo, science is successful
@twobugs Yeah, Mr. White! Yeah, science, @twobugs!
user15026
@Fluttershy Me too. I think it's because I have weekend plans that I am super excited about
Aw yiss, class may be cancel
My weekend plans involve grilling fillet mignon.
19:35
T-15 mintes
One of these error messages is "ignoring degenerate triangle" which gives me a great mental image
user15026
@twobugs That's a pretty great message. I don't even need to know what it refers to to be entertained by it.
Class is not cancel
Dangit
user15026
Aww boo
@twobugs oh i'm not ignoring @degenerateTriangle yet. did they cause some drama?
19:38
We were so close to being able to actually go to the UPS store today to send in my Wii U
@GodEmperorDune Hush, you
Actually they're open till 7, fuck yes
Good, so then the plan of the day is class, UPS store, store store, homework, archer, whatever
user15026
@GodEmperorDune I'm gonna laugh if that's a real user somewhere
user15026
Theoretically I can see that working, I mean people use portobello mushrooms as burger replacements all the time
user15026
19:41
I mean it's not going to taste like pulled pork, but you know.
Please tell me they don't call it a vegetarian pulled pork sandwich
And instead a vegetarian barbecue sandwich or something
Because that is not how pork works
It's like vegan bacon
That's not how bacon works
ClutterArea **m_clutterAreas;
user15026
They put it in quotes
WHY!?
user15026
so I guess that's okay.
19:42
@AshleyNunn The texture's not going to be similar either.
I guess
It's just for the look, I imagine.
@Yuuki No
Mood, stop swinging
Not even close
19:42
@MBraedley doublepointer best pointer
user15026
@Yuuki Yeah, not at all
Oh hey, golf
The Masters is being streamed live on the internet
starts class audio recording
@GodEmperorDune Please, just use a std::vector of some kind of smart pointer.
user15026
@twobugs takes your mood and revokes its swingset privileges
I kinda want to watch Zootopia again.
user15026
19:43
@Yuuki I've not seen it yet, is it good? :)
@AshleyNunn I think it's pretty good.
My friends liked Big Hero 6 more, but I don't really compare the two in my head.
@Yuuki i still get the big hero 6 song stuck in my head
You know what movie I want to see? Sausage Party:
warning: red band trailer means this is a restricted trailer for an R rated movie, viewer discretion is advised

Q: End Portal did not activate

Nikolay DyankovI fell in the lava accidentally, placed a bucket of water on the side of the portal and the lava turned into obsidian. Then I broke the spawner, placed the remaining eyes of ender, but the portal did not activate. I tried refilling the pool with lava, but no luck. Is this a bug, or we did someth...

user15026
@Unionhawk I've seen the trailer. I love how many people are like "I thought this was a kid's movie"
19:46
Yes
My one friend works in a movie theater, predicts this is going to be worse than Deadpool for him in the complaints department
@AshleyNunn but it's named sausage party?
@GodEmperorDune Parents will ignore the name and rating and focus on that it is CG animated
user15026
@Unionhawk Oh, I can imagine so.
I'm feeling guilty about a tablet I haven't even bought
@Unionhawk i mean you can only give so many warnings
user15026
19:48
@twobugs What, why? @twobugs brain stop being a jerknugget to him okay
@AshleyNunn fyi, stealing jerknugget
user15026
@GodEmperorDune At this point you could write a dictionary with all the bits you stole :P
I don't need a tablet I guess so I am freaking out about buying one even though I can totally afford it
what a time to be alive
@AshleyNunn nah i forget most of them shortly after i steal them
user15026
19:49
@GodEmperorDune Are you saying I'm not memorable? sniffles
@GodEmperorDune BAM
mostly
Well then, there's only one thing to do now. grabs pitchfork and torch Off to @GodEmperorDune's house!
YOU'RE WELCOME
@Unionhawk TIL @GodEmperorDune is probably guilty of multiple counts of grand larceny.
19:51
Oh hey, Paranomal was deleted.
@GodEmperorDune Deleted
@SaintWacko and now we'll never know
@GodEmperorDune You're only the worst for perpetuating a dumb joke, don't give yourself too much credit
@Unionhawk hey i wasn't the worst until you passed it to me
it's not my fault you gave it up prematurely
#phrasing
@Unionhawk apparently i stole something from @GodEmperorDune
19:52
You're all awful
Man, cdkeys is a great site
Their customer support is really fast
Well guess who'll be playing the open beta on May 3?
I decided to cancel my Overwatch preorder for now so I can get new earbuds instead, and within 15 minutes of my email, they had cancelled it
THAT'S RIGHT, ME AND @Fluttershy
@SaintWacko Ah.
19:53
Oh
user15026
@SaintWacko Wow, that's pretty quick!
WELL THAT STILL APPLIES
I'm going to preorder again closer to the actual release
@Unionhawk So one of you invited the other?
anyway the point of all of this is that after i steal words from @AshleyNunn, ghosts (and/or @Wipqozn) steal them from me, but without the paranormal proposal, i have no way to be sure if its the ghosts or @Wipqozn
19:54
No, pre-orders get access to the open beta on May 3
@Unionhawk They also get an access key for a friend.
Oh
WELL THEN
I GUESS 2 others of you can come too
> As a newly added bonus, if you pre-purchase or preorder Overwatch for any platform at www.buyoverwatch.com (Blizzard's site), you'll also get early access to the Open Beta for you and a friend from May 3–4. After that, everyone will have a chance to play free during an all-access Open Beta period from May 5–9.
That way we can party up in a 4 instead of 2
For now, I'm going to try to convince RHA to let me pay $110 to, instead of just getting a warranty replacement for my MA750i, upgrade to the T20 earphones
19:56
I preordered from CDKeys and, according to customer support, I don't get early access to the beta.
@Yuuki I suspected as much
But as long as I get all the other goodies, I'm okay with that.
But I'm willing to trade that for $20 off the price

Q: How did the cost of Minecraft change?

Rudolf LibalI was poking around forums a while for a simillar question, and with empty hands I came here: How did the cost of Minecraft "evolve" from the "old Alpha" (that is, even InDev)? It would be good if I got a full answer, and even better if it was in Euros. If anybody gives me an answer with a ...

Q: Deactivate video streaming in PS4 Remote Play

WizardOfMenloI know this may seem nonsensical, but hear me out. I have a PS4, which unfortunately has some controller connection input, therefore, they work only when connected by cable and even that way they work rarely. I found a workaround, which consists of connecting to the PS4 via Remote Play on my PC...

19:59
Oh, coworker, why did you reverse the start and end numbers? It doesn't make sense.
@Yuuki i thought that was a dupe
@Yuuki gross
@GodEmperorDune Dupe or not, it's off-topic and sleazy.
@Yuuki the rep thing is a mess, yeah
I wonder if he can lose so much rep from that question that he can't offer bounties...
Would need 114 downvotes though, so probably not gonna happen.
20:01
@Yuuki you can join me in the beta
Since I did a direct preorder
@Lazers2.0 You can keep your stupid bounty I do not want it
Ah, I interpreted that question as "why did the price of Minecraft change".
Which is why I VTC'd.
Good thing it took me 1 minute to write that answer
Got called out for not paying attention and nailed the answer to his question. Today is a good day

Q: what to do if your faction is almost dead

user144252im at war with the greeks and they destroyed all of rome and my allies that are all... well gone. im down to my main settlement and there army is closing in. what should i do? they offered to proctast (sorry if i spelled that wrong) but i denied because i dont know what it is someone help!

20:17
lol javascript
I like Javascript. It's not horrible
@twobugs Then there is something wrong with you. Javascript should be universally hated because it's horrible.
(Note: opinions from a desktop developer should not be trusted when it comes to web technologies.)
@twobugs It just does funny things, coming from a guy who has been pretty much exclusively trained on compiled languages
I don't prefer it over compiled but I respect it for the constraints it has to deal with
Like, I figured calling a function without parameters when the function defines parameters would be some sort of error? Nope just "undefined"
20:25
Blizzard shuts down popular fan-run “pirate” server for classic WoW
http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/04/blizzard-shuts-down-popular-fan-run-pirate-server-for-classic-wow/ "private servers are illegal and that's that"
@badp Don't see a problem with this
@badp posted several days ago but i am lazy to find the link
@badp I don't understand why that's news, they've been shutting down private servers since private servers began existing
It's a reverse engineering of Blizzards code
@MBraedley javascript has some good parts but it can be used for the nastiest stuff
20:27
I just like the rationale
@GodEmperorDune Goku could destroy planet Earth but he chooses not to
but i'll take javascript and HTML5 over flash, silverlight, or unity plugin anyday
The reddit threads were chock full of 'How come Blizzard didn't just offer to work with them? Blizzard is mean!"
a friend and I used to run a tiny private WoW server back in the 1.6.0 days
RIP flash
20:28
The rationale being "our lawyers are bored"
@twobugs if he did, we'd have a season or two of him charging up to evacuate everyone
@Unionhawk no. burn in hell, flash
@MadMAxJr and do what? Be GMs? I doubt they can offer anything Blizzard needs
I doubt they created their own server software, there's publicly available server software
People want an official vanilla WoW server but that isn't likely
@twobugs people want a free game of WoW quality
There's no simple downgrade, those servers don't exist anymore, would devide players and devs, etc
20:30
sure, some people want vanilla WoW, but there's only so much content before they'll want more
Nah they're too busy fucking with people on battlenet and making the bajillionth moba
@Chippies Well yeah, but I will at least give them the benefit of the doubt here
the majority of people playing private servers play it because it's free
but Blizzard itself acked that the subscription fee is not a driver here
They are just doing it arbitrarily
I don't know what you mean because article not loading for me
20:33
If ars technics doesn't load for you you have bigger problems
@badp it's pretty common for companies to kill the biggest private servers and that one seemed pretty big
But they have every right to protect their own IP. if the issue was framed as money only then that would be far worse I think
Wait how does removing the only possible motive make it better
The motive to protect their own IP doesn't count?
The other motive is "this is our intellectual property" etc
20:39
if they cared about their IP they'd make it available.
@badp wat
we are not talking about a sierra game from 1992 tied to a bajillion different contracts and publishers and whatnot
look, who would spend a significant amount of time on a version of the game that's 8 years old? the main answer that springs to mind is "people who have been loyal Blizzard customers for 8 years"
and to them, Blizzard says "we would rather you played literally anything else than our game"
@badp those server files have been around for years
significant amount of time? They set up a server and are probably making some sort of money off of it
@Chippies right, how long does it take to hit the level cap?
@badp in mmorpg's, hitting the cap "starts" the game
and I still don't understand your argument here
20:43
okay: how long before you have seen and done everything there is to do
@badp are you implying it's the same players playing for 8 years?
@Chippies yes?
@badp is there absolutely any reason to even think that?
you said yourself, those servers have been around for years
servers have been around, the players change
20:43
isn't the whole point of an MMORPG the daiy raid?
the daily grind?
doing the same thing with your friends every day?
essentially hanging around with them?
isn't that what the end game of WoW is all about?
your point being?
my point being that the server is mostly regulars who have been playing for years
which is what you were trying to deny
I guess what I'm ultimately saying is that I don't like Blizzard and I find schadenfreude in seeing Blizzard be shitty to people. Keep going, I'm sure @MartinSojka can disagree with me and entertain your further inquiries ~
I have played many MMORPGs and there's few that have held my attention for more than couple months
I seriously doubt that 800k players have stuck with an old version of the game for 8 years

Q: How to unlock gungeoneers

NewsofPEI've seen on a wiki that there is a ghost gungeoneer and a robot gungeoneer but it didn't say how to unlock them, so how do I unlock more gungeoneers ?

I think your point is just that you don't like Blizzard. Not much more to it
20:46
@Chippies i've played many MMORPGs and feel lucky if i can break the addiction after a few months
@GodEmperorDune I wish I could find an mmorpg like that
> CLEGANEBOWL IN SPAAAAAAACE
@badp No, people who don't want to pay
@Chippies I think that, despite my personal bias, I am making a point and I am providing arguments behind them, and you just don't care to acknowledge that.
so I'll agree to be wrong on the internet
@Chippies no like i get seriously hooked and very intense and its kind of a problem
20:48
@badp as I already said, people playing a private server are not loyal to blizzard, they just want a good game for free
so i stay away from MMORPGS these days
That's ignoring the issues around trademark law where they have to do this or it weakens their claim
@GodEmperorDune I have that for a couple of weeks, then I just get bored
@badp I just don't really understand what your actual point is
@Chippies are you going to go to the effort to substantiating your claim? nevermind Blizzard has literally said, they are not doing this for the money.
I understand your point @badp but I think you aren't seeing the whole picture
20:49
@badp blizzard closing the server has nothing to do with why people play on the server
@badp They are required to protect their trademark if they want to keep it
@Chippies they said as much, yes.
@twobugs trademark law merely protects the name "World of Warcraft" and "Blizzard"
people want to play a game for whatever reasons, a company closes the infringing server for their own reasons
this is a copyright thing
@badp And the game itself
20:50
maybe a patent thing at a stretch
one doesn't depend on the other
@twobugs the game itself is a work of art and "as such" covered by copyright, not trademark law
This is getting ridiculous, I get the impression you aren't discussing this in good faith
I am discussing this in good faith
it's different laws protecting different things
@badphaith
20:51
and obviously it's not a money thing, because the people playing on private server don't want to pay to begin with
when you make an invention, call it something, then sell its instruction booklet
a patent only protects the invention
@badp Neither of which you are acknowledging
the people playing an old version of a game because it's free aren't all of a sudden going to pay for the legit version of the game
trademark law only protects the name
copyright law only protects the booklet
it's the same argument that goes for piracy
20:52
These people are stealing a game and an intellectual property
people want free stuff and if they can't get it, they aren't going to pay for it all of a sudden
you are saying that if Blizzard doesn't act on copyright infringement, it damages their trademark claims
@twobugs you don't steal a game, you commit copyright infringement
Yeah we are going full semantics here
theft law and copyright infringement are not one and the same
yes if you use legal terms that's what happens
I'm on mobile, not going to deal with this
20:52
@badp no this group actually snuck into the blizzard datacenter wearing all black late at night and stole the codes
@badp stop being so goddamn pedantic
@badp No, if you are trying to be a jerk that is what happens
how is explaining the very basics of intellectual property laws "being a jerk"
I guess I should've been dismissive all along
I can do that too yknow
A trademark, trade mark, or trade-mark is a recognizable sign, design, or unique expression related to products or services of a particular source from those of others, although trademarks used to identify services are usually called service marks. The trademark owner can be an individual, business organization, or any legal entity. A trademark may be located on a package, a label, a voucher, or on the product itself. For the sake of corporate identity, trademarks are being displayed on company buildings. == Usage == A trademark identifies the brand owner of a particular product or servi...
"here, RTFM"
i think @badp is just upset about his eurotrucker dreams being crushed by robots
7
20:54
@badp Spare me. Read your initial posts, you came out swinging
conflating theft and copyright infringements is one of my triggers
if copyright infringement was theft, we would not need copyright infringement law, that's all
please tune in next time when I'll talk timezones
cheers
@badp what's wrong with timezones?
@GodEmperorDune His is one of the wrong ones
Here's the deal, it doesn't matter because Blizzard is the copyright holder, and the trademark holder. The copyright covers the game content, the trademark covers the game name. Don't know if the latter was infringed, but the former definitely was, and Blizzard has a right to take legal action.
correct earth time, etc
20:56
@badp you knew exactly what everyone was saying but went full semantics
Who cares why
@GodEmperorDune
It literally doesn't matter
Semantics are important in legal matters
@twobugs no, what I know I'm seeing is you're just recycling words and arguments you've seen thrown around on the internet without necessarily understanding what you're actually talking about :)
20:57
@SaintWacko
And if the case is that they were also infringing on the former, then yes, Blizzard is required to take action if they intend to keep the trademark
Aren't lawyers just like those guys who argue about rules on magic cards, but for the real world
@GnomeSlice we are just people on the internet, not lawyers
you are literally and honestly confusing different laws, and I sought to fix that
I became an asshole jerk semantics dude for that
I am sorry for cursing you with knowledge
@badp no, I am using a phone and I don't care
20:58
@GnomeSlice there's a reason people like that are called "rules lawyers"
@GodEmperorDune What? Where?
@badp No need to be like that now
@twobugs then disengage? :)
@SaintWacko they raided the blizz datacenter, the sysadmins rolled greed, they rolled need
This is incredibly dumb and I am never using mobile again
@badp Same goes for you.
20:58
@twobugs He just did
Er
sounds like tonight's stream will be drama-riffic :D
dra-ma dra-ma dra-ma dra-ma Bat-Man!
cc @Sterno
@GodEmperorDune Nah, probably just won't happen because I am really mad
21:00
@twobugs what?! look what you did @badp
At least he didnt kick you
He kicks me so he has an excuse to ban me when I give him shit about it
hue
user15026
Alright, I think everyone needs to take a couple steps back.
@twobugs just go shoot something in a game
I think the fire is out. Might be smoldering a little, but the flames are gone I think
@SaintWacko "cursing you with my knowledge " is not disengagement.
21:02
room topic changed to The Bridge: General Arqade chat, wherein we accept your right to be wrong on the internet, but also like to be wrong on the internet, so occasionally we're wrong on the internet about your wrong on the internet, and that's also okay?

@Unionhawk revert plz
What's wrong with "general gaming chatroom"
@GnomeSlice I only added a tag
I did not touch the description because I am not going to bother
21:08

@AshleyNunn But then I can't reach my keyb- Ohhhhh...
@Unionhawk grumble grumble nothing wrong with some good old pedantry
Although, to be fair, the description says we accept your right to be wrong on the internet, but says nothing about accepting your right to be right on the internet
@SaintWacko if you are on the internet, you are never right
Someone tell me not to meta this I need to not do that

Q: Minecraft Keeps Crashing (Windows 10)

Stan PotapovMinecraft keeps crashing for me when I try to load up the world. It happens regardless of if I'm trying to play singleplayer or in Realms. I have a Windows 10 OS with an Intel 100 Series Chipset. Here's the most recent crash log.

21:22
@GnomeSlice You make a persuasive argument
Why meta against some nonsense when I could do literally anything else
Gamechops best video game label
Thanks @GnomeSlice
@GnomeSlice if only they were a community ad on the sidebar
Shit, I should redo that one
I've never played undertale or listened to the original for this but I'm copping

Q: Have Any MMO Publishers Releases Server Software When The Game Shut Down?

NakaanI've been a Final Fantasy XI fan for years and hate that the game will eventually be shuttered like so many MMOs before it. I would love to run a private server once the game is finally shut down and I would prefer to use the official server rather than something reverse-engineered like the Darks...

Q: Which enemies take extra damage from sword attacks?

AureliusI have noticed that Ranger sword attacks do different amounts of damage to different enemies. For example, attacking with the basic sword against ADVENT troopers deals 3-5 damage, but attacking Sectoids deals 6-8 damage. Which other enemies are more vulnerable to sword attacks?

21:53
@Unionhawk Haha is that still going on
Also people are being vocal but not really providing any reasonable solution to the "Identify this list of things!" meta discussion
People are citing SFF questions as precedent, but all of those questions are basically just forum discussions
@twobugs Also, SFF questions have no bearing whatsoever on Arqade.
Well, they were being cited as "this idea can work"
user15026
@Yuuki There is that.
It's just they picked questions that kind of... perfectly illustrate my point
Not sure SFF counts as "this idea can work". /s
