I was gonna play a bit of Monster Hunter, but spent my hour arguing about GPUs.

sequoiad

out of interest, do mods have any ability to refer questions to other communities or move an off-topic question to the correct site?

Chippies

@Wipqozn 1) I haven't seen anything linked stating that this question is anything but gray area and 2) the question would need some rewording to be as good as it can be...

Wipqozn

@Chippies Okay. Well feel free to make a meta about it, if you think we should try to make this gray area last gray.

Frank

@Unionhawk No, I'm fine with comparing it to game recs because people have made those exact arguments in favor of keeping them.

Chippies

also, as @Kaizerwolf has already said, if gpu-related questions are off-topic, why do we have graphics-card?

Wipqozn

14:01

I think it would be a good idea, nd you seem to feel pretty strongly about keeping it open, so you strike mas a good choice to make one

Chippies

@Wipqozn I'm not good at meta, nor am I really good at voicing my thoughts, as witnessed by many in this chat :P And I'm not saying that this can or should be pulled out of the gray area, I'm just saying that since this kind of question is 1) in gray area and 2) quite likely very popular right now, perhaps it shouldn't have been immediately closed and instead it could have been answered

Yuuki

@sequoiad I think they can, but I'm personally don't really like cross-site migration anymore.

Chippies

perhaps a more generic question could be made to address the issue with the NMS and opengl

Wipqozn

@Chippies Well we don't really keep questions open for a short time if they're off-topic, we just close'em

@Unionhawk Looks like that question is completely covered here

real issue is if gpus are allowed or not

@Unionhawk it was hell

@Yuuki I just met and beat Arzuros for the first time :D

arda

youtube has ads every 15 mins or so on long videos

Unionhawk

Like, I can set my POTG videos to have a preroll

But that's stupid why would I do that

Yuuki

@Arperum Nice! I like Arzuros's design, mostly because he's not a just a straight-up dragon.

Chippies

@arda I love the 3 minute ads on <1 minute videos (yes, I know they can be skipped after 5-15 seconds, depending on ad)

arda

crunchy has same concept as hulu, 3x15sec ads every few minutes and same ads, but skippable and they don't exist in premium

plus adblock works on CR

Arperum

14:13

@Yuuki It's a honeybear/badger. It was a fun fight.

Unionhawk

So instead I set them to just overlay and sidebar

worst part about CR is that it shows ads no matter the language

@twobugs that's a classic

the one we were watching was less action'y and it was a lot more recent

but the things happening on the screen were so random

there was a scene where the bad guys had hostages and a woman started shouting at the hostages and then they all argued while the bad guys just watched

and more people kept showing up out of nowhere

until the room was full of people

then the bad guys just left

@TimStone No, that's for CS2103. The second module is CS3216.

Tim Stone

Ahhh

I misread, my bad

Private Pansy

Which has the attitude of 'use whatever you want, we just want to see your app by the assignment deadline'

@fredley I mean, you either use an IDE, or use an editor and install so many plugins that you might as well use an IDE in the first place
