WAT
it work?
 
user15026
@Yuuki yeah, I found that out before I saw it. That worked for me.
 
@Ash Yeah, I just remember that there was a small discussion here when it came out so I figured I'd bring it up since I just found that out.
 
Ugh :(
I put money in CC for steam sale, but got a good idea when walking back home. Might spend the money on domain :P
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz :(

5:11 PM
wow @Wipqozn is in a generous mood
also congrats @GnomeSlice
 
remember: we may give or remove owner in jest but we won't give or remove for lols purposes only
(this is not news btw, I've never given italics to someone I didn't trust)
 
@GodEmperorDune but not @PrivatePansy? Jeez, we see who you like more
 
that also means that you shouldn't feel the need to revert "jokes" to "known good states", because they never were jokes to begin with
 
z->7
and goddammit I'm an idiot
4
sqlCommand.ToString()
"System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand"
3
ugh
Well that's why that exploded
 
5:17 PM
@Unionhawk Yeah...
 
how to starbait: call yourself an idiot
 
@Dragonrage This is uni edition
 
@Unionhawk yea, once you become a meme, you get rewarded with stars
 
or lots of pings
 
5:18 PM
@arda Or just, execute it from the SqlCommand object
 
@Dragonrage Sometimes both
 
you know, learning how to do that
 
@Unionhawk are you perling
 
(before it was doing CreateSqlStringAccessor<TType>(sql), but I needed parameters, so)
 
@arda its complex because, often times, SqlCommand never bothers to generate a SQL statement.
 
5:19 PM
is that what @Unionhawk perling looks like
 
I didn't know context (you might just output or smth) so
 
if you call a stored proc with parameters, it just passes the proc name and parameters to SQL's sp_executesql RPC method.
 
@badp z->7 is the TF2 voice command for "yes" which is as close as I could get to a voice command for "understood"
 
that is why so many developers have been forced to delve into the abyss of horror known as SQL Profiler
 
SQL is scary
 
5:21 PM
Nawwww
 
@arda Only to the uninitiated.
 
Well yeah
 
Ugh

Q: How can I change weapon upgrades?

arghtypeI don't understand weapon modifications mechanics. I've found weapon upgrade drone or something like this in first level and upgraded my shotgun to have explosive rounds as secondary attack. Now I want to try another upgrade - how can I switch between them? Do I need to find another upgrade dr...

 
ALthough bad SQL should cause anyone to be scared.
 
5:23 PM
Ben Carson joking about how his mother would take a gun and shoot "dishonest reporters"
He's still not as cool as Herman "Ketchum" Cain
 
Holy crap /cc @Ash
That house was obliterated
 
@Unionhawk that's almost possible in Perl
 
ugh

I DID IT

oh god no
cant buy domains because for some reason, namecheap is waiting for some facebook thingy to load
 
@TimStone looks like a propane tank explosion. Those things really go off
 
@Wipqozn It's strange that this was the message that pinged me, and not the actual act of adding as room owner
 
@PrivatePansy It's never pinged people
 
@TimStone Damn
 
5:39 PM
@Wipqozn yeah, it just refreshes the page

Q: How do I change the third person view from the right shoulder to the left shoulder in Skyrim

user152617Haven't been able to find the answer anywhere, so sorry if this is a duplicate, I must've missed it in that case.

 
Oh hey, Jira is sending out emails again...
 
anyone here path of exile experts? i have an old item in my steam inventory that went from about $10 to about $80 and im trying to figure out what the heck happened.
 
Probably a collector's item or something
People pay a lot for cosmetic stuff in that game
 
5:52 PM
> Granted by crafting the Steam Holiday Sale 2013 badge.
There you go
 
it hovered around $10 for years, then all of a sudden it spiked

Q: Why can't I fast travel?

PabloI've unlocked several map points in Jurassic World, and I can spot the difference between unlocked and and locked map points (they're greyed out), but the only option when I select a map point from the world map is to set a waypoint. How do I fast travel to these map points?

 
@Gigazelle Hm, that's strange then
 
@Gigazelle sales get removed auto in like 3 months
what it is sold for != what is the price people will pay for it
still, the price looks around 30 usd to me

Q: Fallout 4 Power Armor mods

CloudedShadow54Ok So I have a bunch of X-01 Mk.III mods in my inventory. My question is if I buy a Power Frame can I somehow attach them to it? Or can I take my T-51 suit and take the gear off that and replace it?

 
6:13 PM
Wonderful, this program changes the resolution of my screen and just black boxes
Man, today is not my day
 
@badp I suppose that explains why you've removed me about 2 dozen times and added me zero.
 
chat search is garbage, which makes the claim unfalsifiable
 
Concur that chat search is garbage. Next mod election, I vote for whatever mod promises to fix it. You don't really have to intend to fix it. It can be a Trump promise.
 
I promise to fix all issues by making the platform equally nonfunctional for everyone.

Q: What happened to my Minecraft world?!

Kate BowlesI have this world on Minecraft PE where I am building a roller coaster. I come on it and first of all its very slow and laggy, and in my infinite flat world, huge walls of land and water have surrounded my build. Its like as if I big chunk was taken out of the land, and at the bottom was my build...

 
HAVE A GOOD DAY SIR
In retrospect I'm saddened by the fact that I didn't have enough forethought to actually link to a conveniently modabused message that originally was about my revoking your ownership
 
Epic Phailure...
 
@badp How'd you find that in the transcript? Are you a wizard?
 
@Sterno had to search http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/info/35/the-bridge?tab=access
 
@badp So... yes to wizard?
 
6:31 PM
@Sterno does a wizard share his wizardry with the common man
 
Badpomancer.
 
if he does, and the common man can reproduce the wiazardry, was the common man a wizard to begin with
MAYBE WE ALL ARE WIZARDS
 
Maybe I'm a lion
 
We're all small wizards.
 
MAYBE SOME OF US ARE LIZARDS
 
6:32 PM
Lizard... Wizards?
 
Do Wizards have a Wizhub for spell repositories?
 
Blizzard Lizard Wizards
 
@badplizzard
 
A Blizzard Lizard Wizard's Gizzard
 
@twobugs i got the refrance
 
6:33 PM
@MadMAxJr why do you think puppet calls its configuration recipes "recipes"
 
Yeah it's an FF8 refrance
 
@badp you're thinking of chef
 
I'm a fan of FF8 so what wanna fight about it
 
@twobugs don't be afraid
 
@GodEmperorDune shh
 
6:35 PM
@GodEmperorDune is definitely Laguna
 
Now I want a Blizzard.
 
Interesting thing is Trump's support is within the margin of error across recent polls, but this one has much lower support for Clinton
 
> Clinton wins African-American voters, 91% to 1%
 
@murgatroid99 9% are doing what?
 
All I can say is that I am terrified of the outcome of this year's election.
 
6:40 PM
@GodEmperorDune Undecided? Voting for a third party?
 
I'm curious to see what Trump is going to do about the whole... no campaign infrastructure or fundraising thing. 5 months is a long time to have no ground or air game.
 
Today IT tried to crack everyone's passwords. 5% of the company got cracked on a dictionary attack and 1% brute force
 
@Sterno I'm not sure if that's good news or bad news.
 
Me either.
 
I guess it depends on who's in the 5% and 1%.
 
6:45 PM
@Sterno Did they say what the boundary length was for successfully brute-forcing a password?
 
i really hope the 5% doesn't include anyone with admin access
 
Someone asked and they just sent this link with no explanation: hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=mask_attack
 
Ooh. A local crown corp wants a disaster recovery technical specialist.
Seeing as how the vast majority of my jobs have been strings of disasters throughout, I am emininently qualified.
 
@Sterno so its not quite brute force
i bet my work password "2bugsisawesome" would be safe
oh crap
 
no caps, you fail
 
6:49 PM
i better change that to hunter2
 
wait, clearly '*******' is not a valid password
you silly silly-head head
 
Everyone who got cracked got an email informing them. That's not a bad way to do it
 
@Sterno what? no public shaming?
 
@Yuuki IT probably!

Q: account problems (Geometry Dash)

user152626I'm having trouble with my account for Geometry Dash. When I check my profile, it says "Something went wrong..." but when I click refresh, it doesn't change.

 
7:03 PM
Ugh this second meeting is already very stupid
send help
 
my boss is in a meeting currently, and has been for an hour and a half. before he went into the meeting, he checked some stuff in that broke the build and i have finally cleaned up most of the fallout.
 
well, I think we have identified the problem.
your boss has check-in permissions.
 
given that @Dragonrage is my age, his boss is probably a developer
 
@Unionhawk lies, you are older than me
but, yes he is a developer
 
Am I? Oh right by like 2 years or whatever
 
7:07 PM
idk, something like that.
i just know you are older than me by some amount of time
 
@Dragonrage I'm not sure this is the case
By much at least
 
If the "Hi" part of your email is in a different typeface than the rest of your message, I can already tell it's going to be a great email
 
@Unionhawk iirc at least 3 months
 
> Dear @twobugs, how are you?
 
7:17 PM
The problem is that's a coherent email
 
You're a coherent email
 
It needs to be more along the lines of
 
> Dear Mr. Bugs (two), you're a coherent email. Please advise
 
No actually I'm not going to make fun of this email in a google indexed chat
 
This meeting in a nutshell "We need to criticize how they do things" me: "No, we just need to call our thing better, we don't have to tell them they're wrong"
 
7:20 PM
Uni: "We need to make sure Lucio is always in line of sight of people"
 
We're doing some recruiting... thing
So we're presenting a website that they can take on an iPad to take down information and give information with
So all we need to do is present it as an improvement, not a "you're doing it wrong do this instead"
And now that that's resolved we're doing literally nothing other than sitting with "In a meeting" as legitimate statuses
SUPER PRODUCTIVE
 
@Unionhawk at least it's not SUPER HOT SUPER HOT

Q: I just bought a Wii U directly from Nintendo, but I cannot enter it

DoneydewSo I recently bought a Wii U, but there is an account - assumingly used to test - on it, with a Parental Controls PIN assigned to the Wii U. It also had a disc inside. I can't reset it, as there are preinstalled games. I don't know if there are any ways to get past the PIN, or reset the PIN, so...

Q: How long are steam purchases valid?

user152630Having always purchased hard copies of games I am a bit apprehensive about going all digital.My main concern once I have a steam game in my library is there a download limit/number of installation on the game.Is it safe to say that I can dump physical copies for good?

 
@Lazers2.0 you bought a Wii U direct from Nintendo and it came with a game inside?
<~~ skeptical-ish
call NOA, claim your Wii is broken, return for replacement
 
7:35 PM
@Lazers2.0 I think this is probably a dupe (I'm sure someone has asked this before) but I'm too lazy to find it
 
@Ash Some progress

Q: Star Wars Droidworks Maps

user3204352I am attempting to do a remaster of sorts of the 90's game Star Wars: Droidworks. I was able to successfully extract much of the game's resources (audio,3d models, etc.). However, probably the most important files, I am unaware/unable to acquire usable versions of. I need to get usable 3d models ...

@spugsley O.o

@spugsley yay

Hi there!
 
@spugsley are you all settled in the new place yet?
 
7:56 PM
We move out on the 16th of July.
 
so crazy packing then
 
still a lot of moving/packing/etc to be done
 
well, good luck, and hope all goes well
 
but we did get an offer on our house and supposedly close on the 15th so fingers crossed
 
8:01 PM
yeah and it looks like we'll be getting more than we paid for no clue how that happened but no complaints!
 
user15026
@arda that's farther than I have ever gotten.
 
I am home now and Steam has reminded me that I spent real-life dollars on RPG Maker.
 
@StrixVaria y u do dis
 
also my hair is the color of dark wash blue jeans now @Arperum. It was fading magenta which wasn't flattering for my skins and now it will fade to blueish lavender and silver!
 
@StrixVaria hey rpg bro
Also I just got to 7k rep
 
8:09 PM
@arda grats
 
@arda I messed around with it when I was a teenager, before I learned to really code and well before I knew Ruby, so it should be more interesting this time to mess around with the core scripts.
 
I actually got my copy from humble
 
user15026
@arda so does the game actually run past that screen you gave me?
 
@Ash yes, but that is the demo
my full copy seems broken, found another one, will try that (note: it is abandonware)
 
8:14 PM
> So, these are Sharts?
 
user15026
@arda I assumed so, considering the age. I have the full game on the physical CDs so I am not dependent on a download or something like that.
 
Yeah, I know, I made a pretty extensive gist on how to install W98 and sent to you on steam, the "installing game" part is empty but you should be able to install it
 
@GodEmperorDune more Shats.
 
Time to build and port a project to Linux! Yay!

Q: StarCraft brood war improve ia on lan game

SssankI really like playing this old game with friends but, even if we usually go for 2v4 which is the max number of opponents we win too easy. Is there a way to improve the IA to make matches more interesting? Something like replace some files or add a patch... Thanks a lot if you wanna help.

 
8:21 PM
And it's due by next Friday! \o/
 
@twobugs hopefully you only find 2 bugs during the process
 
I would like that
 
@twobugs good luck
 
@Lazers2.0 IA being the french version of AI
 
Note to self: if someone ever asks "Do you know Linux?" Don't respond "I last used it about 6 years ago"
Perhaps say "Is that Minecraft?"
 
8:29 PM
Are you the most experienced?
 
@Unionhawk I REALLY don't want to know the answer to that
 
I'm going to imagine the answer is yes
 
@twobugs "no, my doctor never gave me that medication"
 
@twobugs what is the language
 
We're using a lot of both C and C++
So it could be worse
 
8:31 PM
You're lucky
Porting C#, especially graphics stuff was terrible
 
I assume you mean is
 
For certain values of lucky
 
@twobugs lucky as in could be worse :P
 
just rewrite the whole thing in a more portable language, like php
 
Oh I know
I just don't feel lucky
 
8:32 PM
@twobugs where lucky is in [3,4,6]
 
@GodEmperorDune Get thee gone!
Today is fuct. I don't know if I should Gym because my trainer is sick and we might reschedule for tomorrow but no guarantees
Probably should
 
I am so
 
@twobugs get swole bro
 
Also I'm pretty confident now that I didn't tear my rotator cuff
Which is Good. Very Good
 
@twobugs better than the project im working on atm. it's due Friday, but I have Friday off.
 
8:35 PM
Your Friday has become this pear
 
I'm already at 29 hours worked this week
 
hang on
 
Anyway time to lift weights. I guess I'll do some strength stuff today rather than endurance

Q: What is the difference/benifit of golden cards?

VahxI don't see any difference in these cards in stats or effect. Besides the fact that they are golden, do they serve any purpose? I understand that with a real card game a golden one would be worth more to trade or sell, but as far as i know, this game has no trading option(s).

 
@twobugs PHROTEINSSSSS
 
I guess that's one way to hire local.
 
9:08 PM
The job posting is for being a computer?
 
Did we ever arrive at a consensus on the tag?
 
So tempted to buy @GnomeSlice Skyrim for no reason other than it being on his wishlist
Although for 50 cents more, I can buy Black Mesa
 
@Ash Have you ever read the Writing Prompts or Written4Reddit subreddits? I think you'd like them
 
user15026
@SaintWacko I don't really use Reddit, so not really, but I will check them out
 
@Ash The Writing Prompts one is really cool. Someone posts a writing prompt and people write short stories based on it
 
user15026
9:17 PM
@SaintWacko Nifty :)
 
I read the titles from Writing Prompts
 
@Yuuki put it on new ones. don't add it to old ones iirc
 
@SaintWacko WP is awesome

Q: Can I find a list of 'Sigils of Elohim' relic codes online?

user598527Sigils of Elohim is a game released as promotional material for The Talos Principle. By solving enough puzzles you get a 'relic' reward for TTP. I have no interest playing through SoE, are the codes available online or customized for each player and locked to one Steam account?

@badp That game is pretty cool, I just finished it the other night.
 
@Frank Nope.
 
@Yuuki Hrm. He's no longer on my friends list.
And I can't seem to find him on Steam at all.
 
@Frank I guess he must have removed you because I don't see you on the Friends In Common list.

@JoshPetrie I loved the difficulty curve

Please advise if you feel responsibility overload
 
Not really, I warned them I'm not very active any more

@Frank I'm almost done with Safehold book 2, and I realized yesterday that one of the characters is actually named Norman Bates
 
9:57 PM
@murgatroid99 Yup.
Liking the series?
 
@Frank Yeah, so far. There are a number of things that annoy me about Weber's writing, but overall it's very engaging
 
I'm currently re-reading Hell's Gate, as the third book just came out.
 
I have to ask: in the Safehold series, do they ever go to space?

Q: Minecraft - Clear Armor Not Being Worn

RS_MindI'm making a puzzle map and am lowering player health using attributes. I want to know how to clear iron pants that the player is NOT wearing (not in the leg slot), I have tried clearing iron pants, but that also removes the pants in the armor slot. The players will have other items in their inve...

 
@murgatroid99 It'll probably happen, if the series goes long enough.
 
Never forget.
hmmm
 
Most of it is ground and naval combat, though.
 
But that was the whole point: accelerating technology so they would be ready to fight aliens
 
10:12 PM
@murgatroid99 The Rakurai is still in orbit.
They're not sure what it'll peg on, and unleash devestation when it detects something it doesn't like.
So they have to disable the satellite, first.
 
@Frank too bad its already been archived and cached forever
 
@Frank I mean, I enjoy the books, but when you start with the premise of "A robot ninja wizard from a futuristic society comes to help a technologically stunted society fight aliens" and end up with several novels worth of 19th century-level naval warfare, it's just a little disappointing.
 
@murgatroid99 I don't mind the focus on more historical warfare.
There are enough glimpses of future tech that I'm hopeful that they'll eventually make it into space, ready to take on the Gbaba.
 
also, probably the extent of my summer sale stuff this year
 
10:18 PM
@Frank Maybe it's just because I'm still in book two. Book one had him introduce a bunch of technology so that the final battle would be ridiculously one-sided, and then book two is basically just about making alliances, and they're using pretty much no new technology
 
@murgatroid99 The Proscriptions are holding back the Church, currently, but you can see enough markers to know that they are corrupt enough to just throw those to the wind, and an industrial revolution starts happening.
Which is what Merlin was after in the first place; Charis was the best place to kick it off from, but the whole point was to get them thinking for themselves, and advancing tech.
 
@Frank Well, I can guess that they would, otherwise Charis's victory would be so absolute that it wouldn't take that many books to take over the world

We had a small competition at work to help get a certain project completed. I won, so I ended up with a $30 Netflix gift card. So that's 3 months of Netflix I don't have to pay for :D
