5:00 PM
@Unionhawk I wonder why that would be
 
@GnomeSlice I mean, high bandwidth usage, primarily
 
@fredley why isn't it outnow! and wh aren't you @Fluttershy, who is the user I meant to ping?
 
Man @GnomeSlice doesn't pull his punches
 
hue
I'm a savage
 
5:01 PM
See it's weird because normally if they were blocking it, I'd get "this website is corporate filter, category: games" or whatever
but this is "took too long to respond"
 
Don't you have work to be doing
 
Eh
Probably
 
haha
 
An Earth-like planet might be orbiting Proxima Centauri, according to reports: http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/d-brief/2016/0… https://t.co/RI5pUMuL1H
 
THIS IS IMPORTANT SCIENCE
 
5:02 PM
I thought Three Body Problem was fiction...
 
@MBraedley that link just goes to a 2016 archive
 
@GnomeSlice Try opening the tweet, then open the link
 
I'm on my phone, found it though
 
Or the shortened link (although I can't test it at work).
 
5:06 PM
Anyway, that's pretty exciting. A possibly habitable planet orbiting the closest other star
 
@Sterno There was a comment out there on the internet that said something to the effect of "how hard could it be to implement multiplayer? It'd take like, one person a week to do!"
 
@Unionhawk heh
A lot of this stuff is stuff they showed actual gameplay footage of, which I guess means it was either cut due to performance (I HATE YOU PS4) or they just never got it fully working
But there's an awful lot of it, and I really do wonder how much of it was switching over to the technical limitations of a PS4
 
@Sterno You blame the better performing version...?
 
@MBraedley That's awesome
 
5:12 PM
@twobugs Not on my machine
 
I cannot wait for the day Pokemon Go stops being popular.
ages visibly
 
@Sterno Damn, that's a lot of stuff
 
can I send an email through a js function tied to a html button?
 
@Dragonrage You probably need to make a call to a server that sends the actual email.
 
You could always just open a mailto link
 
5:17 PM
well, I have a specific html template with specific data I want to send to the person if they click the button. So guess i have to call the server?
 
It's unlikely you're going to get an arbitrary web client to make SMTP or IMAP requests, so yes, you're going to have to get the server to do it
 
@Wipqozn Yeah. And it makes me sad when I see the footage of stuff that was in the game. Because it looked really good
 
@Sterno "Fun"
 
@Yuuki Looks like 2 of those are "turtle boss in ALBW" and 3 or 4 are "elite anaconda vs stock viper"
 
5:21 PM
@Sterno I'm so happy I didn't buy it, or get you to buy it for me ine xchange for bad rats 2, and then wind up playing it less than bad rats 2
 
@Sterno That one with the giant rhino thing trampling the trees was so cool :(
 
Ugh this error is proving to be stupidly difficult to reproduce
 
@Sterno So is it AVP bad?
 
@Sterno Well, it seems to be for many people sadly
 
5:27 PM
@Wipqozn I've still put 30-35 hours into it, so I'm not really complaining
 
@Dragonrage also a good idea to lock that email sending functionality down with some server side validation or congrats, you just created a new route for spam bots
 
@Sterno Nice
Oh yeah and your daughter was 'playing' it with you too, right?
 
Yeah. That was sweet.
 
Also sending emails is a pain in the ass, because if you do it wrong you're going to be marked as a spambot by some bigger email servers which will cause issues delivering emails later.
 
She named "Santa's Planet", "Our Planet", "Elsa's Planet", and "Pony"
I'm not sure she was committed to the "Pony" name, because she didn't give it the "Planet" suffix like the other ones
 
5:32 PM
@StrixVaria yeah, getting out of a spamhaus blocklist is VERY difficult

Q: How is ship cost determined?

KaizerwolfI've been paying more attention to the cost of certain ships. It would seem obvious that the more slots a ship has, the more expensive it will be. However, there seems to be a lot of inconsistencies with this. The jump from 15 to 20 slots may only be 800,000 Units, but from 20-30 becomes 5 millio...

Q: Does carrying valuable cargo increase odds of being attacked?

WondercricketYesterday while playing No Man's Sky, I found a oceanic planet that contained a multitude of Sac Venom. Whenever I scanned for resources near by, these popped up everywhere as far as my scanners would go. A Sac Venom's average value on the market goes for ~26k per item, so it was only natural t...

 
@Sterno Well, would it have been "Pony Planet" or "Planet Pony"?
That's a difficult question. I don't think I could answer that.
 
earth planet
 
Planet of the ponies
 
@Unionhawk That's covered under "Our Planet".
 
5:35 PM
aka earth
 
I've started naming planets after "We Didn't Start the Fire" lyrics but am only up to Johnnie Ray
 
@twobugs I was not wondering
 
I'm naming systems after human body systems
it's good fun
 
@Unionhawk Well you don't need to not wonder anymore
 
I wasn't wondering in the first place
 
5:36 PM
I know @GodEmperorDune was wondering
 
I can't stop doing a thing that I was never doing
 
Hm I should probably delete that
 
not with that kind of attitude, @Unionhawk
 
Can't be too careful nowadays
 
it's all about state of mind my dude
@twobugs triggered
 
5:38 PM
@Sterno At some point if you play long enough, you'll name a planet "Birth control".
 
lol, no, I am not interested in a position at your call center, recruiter
thanks for asking
 
@Unionhawk Are you out of college for real now and looking for a career?
 
This is the best way to troll @GodEmperorDune, letting him know something happened but he isn't privy to the DEETs
 
@StrixVaria Almost
 
For some reasons the planet name "Bring Snowshoes" tripped their profanity filter
Oh. Hoes.
I did not see that until just now
 
5:39 PM
@Unionhawk Summer credits, or one more semester?
 
"Dixout IV Harambe" is fine, but "Bring Snowshoes" isn't.
 
@StrixVaria One more semester
 
seems legit
 
@Sterno Wow, people are still using word blacklists without word boundaries? I thought we figured out that was dumb years ago
 
5:40 PM
> British Politician Sex
@Sterno I wonder if that one will go through.
 
I guess I can't name a planet Assassin's Arsenal
 
@murgatroid99 What if he spelled it "bring snowsHOES"?
 
@StrixVaria I'll just S3x it if I have to
 
Bring Snow's Hoes
 
I should think you'd want a shovel for snow
 
5:42 PM
No. The lifehack approved way is snowshoes
 
I think PSO's word filter didn't like "Shovel"
@Sterno You could USE shovels to make snowshoes
 
@StrixVaria I have phase 2 (secure a starting job) done, I just got an email from some call center recruiter that apparently has access to the University's job seeker's database that I should probably set to "not looking"
 
I'm pretty sure the best way to clear snow off your driveway is using the pressurized air in your scuba gear.
@Unionhawk Oh nice.
 
guys
SHOVELSHOES
let's make it happen
Arqade invented, Mother approved.

Q: How was I able to attain more than 100% Kill participation

Sidewinder94A little while ago, I managed to obtain a 104% kill participation while playing a normal game (It was the 25 july 2016, in the event that was a bug patched afterwards). How could I attain such a score ? If it was precision, I could understand that I could hit more than one target per shot, but a...

 
5:45 PM
 
those are shoe plows, come on
also who in their right mind would wear converse in snow, your feet would be miserable
 
@Kaizerwolf do you not know what a snow shovel looks like?
 
@Kaizerwolf The same kind of person who would wear these ever:
 
Oh nice, and Google Maps reviews confirm even further that I should simply delete this email (since I don't have a return email address to tell them off to)
 
@twobugs dammit i am so thoroughly trolled right now I wouldn't be surprised if @fredley had assumed control of @twobugs account
 
5:49 PM
@Dragonrage is the GCC tattoo on the right foot included?
 
@Kaizerwolf no, tattoos are part of a future DLC, but you can preorder it now for only 290$
 
oh man what a deal
 
@GodEmperorDune
 
5:54 PM
100% DEET
 
[tag:100%-deet]
pls
 
seconded
 
i think i am going to get Civ VI.
 
I already trolled @GodEmperorDune into watching misery horse
 
5:54 PM
I don't think that's trolling
 
@Unionhawk everything @fredley does is trolling
 
@Unionhawk It made him miserable
/is making
/will continue to make
 
/forever making
 
5:56 PM
Trolling would be getting @GodEmperorDune to watch a show he hates
Like Archer
 
Aug 11 at 19:29, by GodEmperorDune
i mean archer and bojack horseman are pretty much the same show
 
@GodEmperorDune Why wasn't I ccd on this? This is top-tier trolling
 
@Unionhawk Wait @GodEmperorDune hates Archer?
 
@twobugs (no)
(I don't think)
 
I wonder if he does
 
5:58 PM
Bojack Horseman has that dry humor that reminds me of King of the Hill or Bob's Burgers, just more violent and vulgar than the two
 
I got pretty tired of Season 3 of Archer
 
it's a good mindless thing to watch
 
@fredley you were cced like 8 messages later
 
Trolling would be playing TV show roulette with @fredley, switching between posting R+M and Archer YouTube videos
Just to keep him on his toes
 
D:
 
6:00 PM
(I have yet to do this mostly because lazy but also because FX)
(but primarily because lazy)
 
I wonder what other popular things @fredley hates
I mean, Xcode
 
@twobugs the EU, obviously
 
:(
 
cc @Wipqozn @fredley on that sick burnrexit
 
NMS patch notes:
> UPDATE: AMD Phenom Support
Thousands of lines of assembly have been rewritten to support AMD CPUs. The game code no longer relies on anything above SSE 2,
Havok Physics has also now created new libs. Game is now confirmed working on Phenom CPUs.

UPDATE: Mouse Smoothing
Smoothing on mouse movement has been improved to prevent hitching or stuttering, and is now adjustable through the Options menu in “Mouse Smoothing”.
It now defaults to off. If you feel the framerate is "slow" or "lumpy", please make sure that this is turned off (it helps players with sub-30 fps)
I.e. if the game already worked for you, nothing you care about
 
6:02 PM
> Thousands of lines of assembly have been rewritten
 
I bet he even hates the weekend because it means he won't get to Friday people for a while
 
@spugsley could probably play now if she hadn't refunded.
 
FINALLY I WAS ABLE TO REPRODUCE THIS BUG
 
maybe its because i'm not a game coder, but i thought we were better than writing assembly for games now
 
hmm
 
6:04 PM
It's interesting because none of those fixes seem relevant to PS4, and they said it was a PS4 patch as well
 
@Unionhawk cc @threebugs
 
Things we are better than: none of them
 
@Sterno the unicode save corruption thing wasn't for ps4?
RIP planet ಠ_ಠ
 
Hmmmmmm
why
 
Why indeed
 
6:06 PM
@GodEmperorDune you probably can't type unicode on there?
 
@GodEmperorDune Hrm. Maybe.
I doubt it though.
@GodEmperorDune Using Sean double-speak, any language compiles down to assembly, so writing anything counts as writing assembly
 
@SaintWacko Maybe I'm spoiled from Mine Defense and Ant Hill, but that seemed awfully short.
 
@John Yeah, it was a very short incremental, but very well done
 
True
PO TAY TOE
 
@Sterno so did they literally recompile and diff the two binaries to see how many lines of assembly changed?
 
6:08 PM
wtf
 
@GodEmperorDune 99.999% of the time, yes
 
visual studio, can you please break at this exception like I told you to?
 
A wild @john appeared. cc @Wipqozn
 
Or do I have to hunt it down myself?
 
But certain things are still written in assembley
 
6:12 PM
I don't always write in assembly, but when I do, I use emacs.
Actually, I never write in assembly. And I never use emacs. Life is good.
 
@GodEmperorDune daaaaaaaaaaamn, that's really damkn good

Q: Maximum Combat Power

MakaMidoDoes each Pokemon in Pokemon Go have it's maximum CP? What does the bar above the Pokemon represent? Because if so what is the Pokemon with the biggest maximum CP?

 
Man today is just bleh
So much support for this one guy who needs me to hold his hand for everything now
 
Ugh
This is a super fun error
 
6:16 PM
And I have stuff I'm trying to work on but getting pulled in different directions by different people
 
wtf.
this is the 3rd mobile game I've installed this week that told me "kutulumike" was an illegal nickname because it contains offensive words
 
Yian Kut-Kus don't want you to take their name in vain
 
this one specifically says "tu is an offensive word, try not to use it."
 
Hahahaha
 
@KutuluMike y tu mama tambien
 
6:18 PM
Are you playing Trump Simulator
 
How is tu an offensive word?
 
i dunno, ask ... "JOYCITY Corp."
 
It's offensive because it's Spanish, you see
 
@fredley the "for your consideration" ads are a real thing around LA. they started about 2 weeks ago
 
Why didn't the lobster leave a tip?
BECAUSE HE'S SHELLFISH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You're welcome.

Q: How to PvP in Dark Souls 3?

Can DemirelI just bought Dark Souls 3 for PS4 and played like 3 hours. But I cant seem to find PvP option in the menus. Do I have to finish the campaing first ? Can someone tell me how to access PvP from scratch ? Thnx for the help and git gud :)

 
Okay dude I am doing support for: I have your logs. Do not tell me you didn't do a thing when I can see clearly you did
 
@twobugs Are you helping the same user @Wipqozn was helping earlier?
 
I might be
 
@Sterno not even seaseaing @Wipqozn and @fredley on that terrible pun
 
6:33 PM
What did the grape do when someone stepped on him?

He let out a little wine!
 
@Sterno that joke is older than you.
 
I think I fixed the thing
 
@twobugs got called out.

Lumios-I will be honest and direct. -Before doing anything, please read the full text, I made it as simple as possible for you to have less problems to read it. -Some people downvote without even trying to read the question. -Also one people called 'two bugs' litterally modified my whole question t...

 
What did I do
 
6:36 PM
@Sterno @twobugs is the dark souls of being @frank to new users
 
> Also one people called 'two bugs' litterally modified my whole question to make another one while it made it worse.
 
Oh it was this rambling question that I trimmed down to the actual question
 
yeah it looks like a good edit to me
 
yea, it was a fine edit.
 
@SepiaLazers Good lord, why do people always bring up spelling and grammar and the fact that English isn't their primary language when it's literally the last thing I'm concerned about?
 
6:38 PM
ahah gotta read it
AHHAHAHA the guy is so correct
I opened it, read a bit, downvoted. "-Some people downvote without even trying to read the question. "
 
someone should go fix his grammar on his meta
 
@Dragonrage I'll try to
 
I left my apology, I certainly didn't want to negatively impact a user's experience
 
-Really, even a reddit user said he got a ton of upvotes on reddit but only got downvotes here, he copy pasted his question, so if the same question was accepted on reddit, why not here?
 
I'm disengaging from this otherwise
 
6:40 PM
that way people might actually take more than two seconds to try and figure out what he is saying
 
@arda Didn't we just explain to someone else that this site isn't reddit like last week
 
@murgatroid99 yes, and probably the week before that as well
 
@murgatroid99 yep
 
can someone link me the key downvote thing?
 
@arda Please don't
 
6:41 PM
ok
 
I don't know if I'm alone in this, but citing that always seems both condescending and confusing
 
Yes
 
@arda that will not be helpful here at all
 
I like the edit in there by @Frank that removed part of the question that he'd specifically edited back in. :)
 
 
6:43 PM
This user is well meaning but doesn't understand portions of this site and we should do our best to be polite
 
I was going to do it like that, but well, you are right, not including that at all is a better idea
 
@Sterno I figured the answer had everything he needed.
 
I just correct spelling and grammar because it's there and I can do it, do you think I should just leave it wrong to make you feel better?
 
Giant banner on front page that states WE ARE NOT REDDIT
 
6:44 PM
The thing too which bothers me is this asker is frustrated me for not editing in information that wasn't in his initial question
Oh well.
 
Now I'm amused it has a VTC as "Too Broad"
 
I'm not diving into this meta because three people is already plenty.
 
I'm already out of it anyway. I said my bit and that's that.
 
can someone link @twobugs' edit?
 
@Sterno pls
srs
 
6:45 PM
I want to read it before answering
 
pls
 
It just burns me that people constantly bring up "stop being mad at me about my English, I don't speak English a lot unlike you tryhards".
2
 
@Unionhawk It wasn't me!
 
@Sterno I know
 
@Yuuki I'm stuck in ELO hell for English
Mine is revision 2
 
6:46 PM
You wouldn't be like VTC as too broad "It amuses me that there's a too broad vote. Wonder how that happened."
 
I would be if I was an epic troll.
 
I made it less extremely specific to make it a better question overall that would still answer the original question
 
@Yuuki I just got here, so I don't know context, but I see this a lot from native English speakers going "oh shut up, dis isn't school, no1 cares about spelling and grammer, you nerd"
 
@Sterno But then you'd risk showing up as the first vote and being found out
 
Then there would have to be 4 other idiots
I can't imagine there being 4 idiots on Arqade
 
6:49 PM
Incidentally, I think that question in its current state is actually pretty good
 
@Chippies It's just annoying that people get so defensive about it when it's really the least problematic thing I'm concerned about when editing questions. I'll fix it and move on, I really don't judge you as a person on your spelling/grammar.
 
I probably could have kept "Specifically, I'm interested in Riolu" in my edit
 
@twobugs Yeah, that's the only part that is even remotely "conflicts with author's intent"
 
@twobugs that seems to be a sore point with him but it's 100% redundant.
 
@Yuuki some people do take it personal when you try to fix or point out their spelling/grammar mistakes
 
6:51 PM
I mean, meh?
 
"What answers do I need to get each of the Pokemon? And which answers do I need to get Riolu?"
 
@Unionhawk And that's a fair argument, I thought about adding it but I probably just forgot
 
@KutuluMike "Here is the chart, so for rilou, you'd need this"
It's meh
 
I mean, answering it as I edited it would necessarily tell you how to get a Riolu
 
well i posted an answer
 
6:52 PM
it is, but he's acting like without it he can't get his question answered.
 
maybe it is a language barrier thing
 
I assume it's just the usual "my first post got downvotes and edited" rage, and that's what he picked to focus on.
 
... Why did I put my comment there?
Moved it.
 
@Yuuki He's specifically asking about Super Mystery Dungeon
ewps.
 
Yeah, was just about so say
except I couldn't find it on Serebii or Bulbapedia
