@GnomeSlice yes
@StrixVaria Awesome. Good luck with it!
@GnomeSlice Thanks!
@StrixVaria I don't think I understand how to control the up/down indicators.
@Yuuki I didn't even begin messing with those.
I was just trying to listen to people pushing buttons and looking at where people wanted to go.
@Yuuki I think you have to explicitly call functions to turn them on or off
18:08
> {
init: function(elevators, floors) {
var rotator = 0;
_.each(floors, function(floor) {
floor.on("up_button_pressed down_button_pressed", function() {
var elevator = elevators[(rotator++) % elevators.length];
elevator.goToFloor(floor.level);
});
});
_.each(elevators, function(elevator) {
elevator.on("floor_button_pressed", function(floorNum) {
elevator.goToFloor(floorNum);
});
elevator.on("idle", function() {
elevator.goToFloor(0);
});
});
},
update: function(dt, elevators, floors) {
}
}
And people only get on to elevators with indicators matching the button they pressed
@Dragonrage This is just the dev testing code.
Hmm, might have put a tad too much ghost pepper sauce in when making those shrimp
@StrixVaria yea i ran it, and it doesnt even pass the second level
@murgatroid99 I do and it doesn't seem to work. I used elevator.goingDownIndicator(false); at the beginning of the listener on the 'idle' event and both indicators are still green.
18:09
@Dragonrage Yeah, they get pretty tight.
@Yuuki Are you sure you don't change it anywhere else?
That seems to be it.
And now I think I figured how to changed the indicators when I need to.
I should use that game as an entrance test, hmmm
Someone left a tiny bit of coffee in the pot on the heater
So it burned down to this horrible carbon slime
What kind of monster would do that?
Not only is it gross but it means there was no more coffee D:
18:15
Now I need to figure out how to set the same behavior for all elevators once rather than having to copy-paste and change variable names.
This is not even the worst thing to happen today
The worst thing to happen today is Metal Gear Survive
I had not seen that
I have now seen that
I am now also laughing
@Yuuki elevators.map
18:17
@TimStone It's like a joke trailer someone would make
But it's real
@twobugs looks at YouTube
"Oh hey, dude who got left behind at the burning Peace Walker base."
blue portals in the sky
wat
It's an Alternate Reality Survival Game
@twobugs is that where you play as Trouser Snake?
@GodEmperorDune Stahp
Konami might hear you
WHY NOT JUST MAKE ANOTHER IP??!!
@twobugs It literally looks like someone made a game out of a bad crossover fanfic.
18:20
@Yuuki Because "Metal Gear" draws in people automatically.
Ooo boy, can't wait to look at /r/metalgearsolid imploding.
Even as someone who has never played Metal Gear games and I don't even think I would like them at all if I did, the fact that this has Metal Gear on its name makes it intrinsically more interesting than something that doesn't.
@Yuuki Because people at Konami are evil and are trying to ruin everything
This is literally not a Metal Gear game and if it sells more than one of the recent ones I will die
This is the way the world ends
THIS WAS THEIR PLAN ALL ALONG
This is horrible and I'm upset
18:24
Okay, good news.
Video games were a mistake
That's only slightly better. Konami basically murdered MGSV post-launch support and this seems to be what we're getting instead
Anyway it's just ridiculous that Konami would continue to release Metal Gear games after screwing over the creator to the point where he wasn't even allowed to accept any awards for MGSV
How I imagine the concept for Metal Gear Survive came to be: "I think at this point the Metal Gear IP is best left for dead... Wait! that's it!"

Q: Minecraft peaceful mode: spawn hostile mobs, give them creative mode AI

1026501I like playing in peaceful mode, as I feel that making something complex in peaceful is more fulfilling than in creative. However, making many things requires items dropped only by mobs. In creative mode, mobs spawn, but simply ignore you. You can still get mob drops by killing these effectively ...

@TrentHawkins "YOU'RE A GENIUS, DAVE."
I bet this is all Huey's fault
@fredley This game is really shallow.
That's a shame, too.
I just remembered I'm still playing that
Woo, 2/3 legendary birds caught

Fanfictions

Proposed Q&A site for people who like reading, writing, sharing and discussing fanfictions.

Currently in definition.

18:55
@StrixVaria yeah the pokedex is so empty even though i have all non-legendaries
dammit just failed at articuno
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment This seems like a neat idea but I'm not sure it's a good SE idea
Also why is Kingler the strongest pokemon?
@StrixVaria jealous much, mr tentacruel?
There's nothing wrong with Kingler, it's just not known for having the highest stats of all non-legendary pokemon.
Kingler is awesome
One of the underrated Gen 1 Pokemon
19:02
"Kingler, use Crabhammer!"
beam of blue light shoots at the opponent
wat
A lot of what the anime does with moves is questionable.
A lot of what the anime does is questionable.
A lot is questionable.
Also, Serena's pokemon know moves like Flamethrower, Dark Pulse, and Stone Edge despite being non-evolved, and Clemont's still using Pin Missile and Vine Whip and a Bunnelby for some reason.
Kingler, Slayer of Gods
19:11
is ded
QUICK. BURN IT WITH FIRE
@Dragonrage That brings a tear to my eye. so much purging about to happen
@Dragonrage please send the pc to joel from vinesauce
@Dragonrage -2, same language in three different languages

It's almost as if someone staged the photo

Q: When can I claim pokecoins?

tempomaxSo it's said that dropping off a pokemon at a gym will grant the player pokecoins. You can get 10 pokecoins per 21 hours per gym up to some maximum. Does this mean I go to a gym, drop off a pokemon, and then I can immediately claim my 10 pokecoins? Or does the pokemon have to defend a gym for X...

hmm...
blargh quitters in paragon
@twobugs well, yes, the staging is inadequate
19:41
> Oracle attorney Annette Hurst said that the launch of Google Play on Chrome OS, which happened in the middle of the trial, showed that Google was trying to break into the market for Java SE on desktops. In her view, that move dramatically changes the amount of market harm that Oracle experienced, and the evidence should have been shared with the jury.
CHROME OS, A PLATFORM THAT NEVER RAN JAVA TO BEGIN WITH
not really
WE HAVE ALTERED THE DEFINITION OF JAVA
the android emulator is not chromeos only, it runs on all chromes
PRAY WE DO NOT ALTER IT FURTHER
also, java is used less than windows phone nowadays :P
19:43
wait i thought the oracle google thing was over
@GodEmperorDune they want a do-over because of this
considering well, it is a new version of arcwelder
> Viewing the smartphone in isolation is a Google-gerrymandered story.
i don't think you know what gerrymandered is
@arda ...What's your basis for this?
@GodEmperorDune a big and scary word
@twobugs he's probably only thinking about mobile and to a lesser extent desktop
19:47
@twobugs tbh no basis, just joking about how java is dead nowadays
Java is very much not dead on servers
Java is still used frequently
@badp oooh, servers, forgot about that
maybe not as dominant as it used to be
unfortunately java is not dead
19:48
but definitely still a thing
It's not The Hottest New Technology but calling it dead is silly
And Java is Not That Bad I realize it's a meme to hate on it though
@twobugs nah, it's the coders, not the language
@twobugs doesn't mean there isn't a kernel of truth
There are problems with Java, absolutely
but the fact that java best practices are to make billions of classes with subtly different names is no bueno
19:49
Java is defintely no PHP tho
or no Perl
Honestly I don't worry about what people have decried as "best practice"
@badp oh for sure
I will read it and consider it, sure
But I'm not going to make billions of classes or something else like that just because BleachFan7 says so.
@twobugs industry best practice becomes what company standards enforce and then what you are required to do
I've worked at several companies and nobody followed the official "coding standards" at any of them
Small sample size, sure.
19:51
"why are you fooing the bar? you need to grab that from the abstractfoobar factory singleton over there"
> "We’re arguing over a cost bill," said Alsup as two different attorneys sidled up to the podiums to argue the matter. "Do you know how many Social Security claimants I can’t rule on, while I’m ruling on your cost bill? Why can’t you resolve this on your own?"
@GodEmperorDune The sad part about this as a counter argument is a nonzero group of people will tell you to just abolish social security completely
@twobugs wait there are people who still want to abolish social security?
Well the popular thing now is just gutting it gradually
But there are still holdouts who want to outright destroy it

Q: Tag search with accented characters should de-accent them, rather than delete them

ThunderforgeIf you create a new tag with an accented character, it gets converted to an un-accented character. For instance: pokĂ©mon → pokemon But when you search through this site's search box, the accented character is deleted. So when you search for [pokĂ©mon] in the search box, it is converted to [p...

@twobugs Oh! Oh! Belgium is doing great on the part to gut social security!
20:03
I mean, Paul Ryan wants to change it to some voucher system that IIRC intentionally doesn't scale with inflation
In addition to being worse up front
well yeah they have wanted to restrict automatic COLA for a very long time
the problem they run into is that old people vote and AARP is not a group you want to piss off
You say that, but old people tend to vote for the party that wants to hurt their benefits
I mean, I agree
i mean they tried to privatize social security around 2006 or so and aarp ran devastating ads against them
Okay so I ask this guy for his log files and he does everything right except our firewall blocks these log files
Sigh...
20:09
I think I'm going to try and stream tonight
cc @GodEmperorDune @badp
I am hoping to stream this weekend as well
@StrixVaria mewtwo is stronger than kingler in pokeclicker
So is basically every Pokemon in Pokeclicker, just varying degrees of rarity?
And are legendaries encounterable anywhere?
@twobugs only in routes >= 10
@twobugs no, there are only 78 gen 1s catchable
and a handful more show up as opponents in gym battles
Ah, okay
@GodEmperorDune So less than Pokemon Go?
20:14
@Unionhawk yes
but you don't have to walk at all
All you do is click on the routes and buy upgrades
@twobugs and click on gyms once in a while
Like @StrixVaria said there isn't much to it
Also @StrixVaria is a Kingler now
more like a greg kinglear cc @fredley
20:28
More like your mom
@Wipqozn you're just upset because you haven't reached that part of bojack yet
@GodEmperorDune i knew that was some super secret bojack reference
Clearly my life will be nothing but misery until I finish bojack

Q: What are the special features that unlocked after finishing the game?

PaulAfter completing the GOG version of Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon a notice appears stating that: You have unlocked a number of special features. But the only feature I noticed a were the Concept Art Gallery. Is there anything else that have been unlocked ?

Q: I found this weird red and grey thing in Terraria

SamI have recently started playing Terraria and I'm kind of a noob could anyone tell me why this is and how to mine it

20:43
Sooooooooo 2.1 did have pyloric stenosis
i've just got home for the first time in 36 hours
i've had about 3 hours sleep in the last 36 too
he';s had his op, is ok, and has started on fluids \o/

Q: No Man's Sky: How the “colored placement” bonus to upgrades (in Exosuit / Multi-tool / Starship) works?

JakeThere is an idea that (from nomanssky.gamepedia.com): If upgrade items of the same type are placed adjacent to each other, they may provide different bonuses. If a bonus is awarded, the player will be notified of this effect with a colored light linking the relevant upgrades. So: How does...

Q: I can't get PlayStation plus to work on all of my accounts

Andrewkemp1108Ok so I have 2 accounts on my ps4 and one of them has PlayStation plus. I know that as long as one account on the system has psplus then I'm good to go but for some reason every time I get on the other account and try to go to an online game, it tries to make me purchase PlayStation plus. What co...

erreur
so, apparently there are a number of pokemon that are uncatchable in PokeClicker
Did we talk about the guy (in Florida, of course) who got angry while at a restaurant, stormed off, killed two random people, and tried to eat one of their faces? 'Cause that's a thing. That happened. 2016, go home. Just…go home

@TimStone that happened again? was he on bath salts too?
21:27
They claimed that first guy had no trace of bath salts, but
Hmm... every time I try to mess with the floor object to get an elevator to come to the floor, the elevators just don't move.
@Yuuki You have to tell the elevator to move

Q: Why Nayru apears in the file selection screen?

JouramieI just finished Oracle of Ages on a GameBoy Color emulator. Going back to the menu, I noticed that Nayru now appears in the file selection screen next to Link. What does it mean? Is Nayru now playable or is it just because I finished the game?

They aren't sure with this one yet. The reports say it wouldn't be surprising if it was Flakka/"alpha-PVP", which are similar in nature
@murgatroid99 I put the floor number in the elevator's destination queue and then have the elevator check its destination queue.
I'd rather not use elevator.goToFloor(i) because I'm worried about race conditions.
21:29
@Yuuki JavaScript is single-threaded
and goToFloor by default appends the floor to the destination queue
@murgatroid99 Hmm... should've read that more carefully.
@TimStone but what if 2016 had already been home all along
@Yuuki You can also make it go there first with goToFloor(i, true)
@badp It's true, maybe 2016 needs to get out more. Away from all these bad influences
@Yuuki I think, when writing event-driven JavaScript code in general, it helps to remember that the code runs sequentially, and you can only really have race conditions between different event listeners (or multiple instances of the same listener).
21:33
@badp THEN WHO WAS BREXIT?
What I mean to say, JavaScript can only really have race conditions if running one entire event handler and then another entire event handler does the wrong thing
22:14
@Wipqozn Between Two Cities is a board game, right?
@Fluttershy just like your mom, yes
22:41
Between @TwoBugs, a survival horror

Q: Does the throw bonus affect catch rate?

TheynaIn Pokemon Go when catching a Pokemon the throw can be rewarded with an experience bonus (if the catch is successful). The possible throw bonuses are nice (10 exp), great (50), excellent (100) and curveball (10). I have a theory, simply based on personal experiences, that achieving a throw bonus...

The CATO institute has apparently ranked every US state in terms of Freedom
Top 5 states - all conservative leaning states
Wait, all conservative states but also Vermont
Bottom 5 states - all liberal states
If you look at the per-state breakdown it will be like (for Cali) #46 Fiscal #16 Personal #48 Regulatory
You might think that the overall would be some sort of... combination of those factors
You would be wrong. California is ranked 49th overall!
@twobugs interesting
The Cato Institute is an American libertarian think tank headquartered in Washington, D.C. It was founded as the Charles Koch Foundation in 1974 by Ed Crane, Murray Rothbard, and Charles Koch, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of the conglomerate Koch Industries. In July 1976, the name was changed to the Cato Institute. Cato was established to have a focus on public advocacy, media exposure and societal influence. According to the 2014 Global Go To Think Tank Index Report (Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program, University of Pennsylvania), Cato is number 16 in the "Top Think Tanks...
That definitely doesn't sound biased at all
Yeah the CATO institute is very clearly ideologically driven.
I just thought it was funny to look at their data and the seeming nonsensical conclusions

Q: Who to battle when first able to access gyms?

SynessoI'm level 6. All the gyms I find are held by players between level 21 and 24. How can I find someone of my level to battle, because it's not enjoyable to go up against these gyms - nor am I learning how to battle this way.

23:27
@twobugs Vermont has uncharacteristically lax gun ownership laws for a New England state, IIRC.
They seem to have a very interesting definition of "freedom".
@twobugs yay, 49th! someone else is worse!
So I'm going to be streaming Deus Ex: Human Revolution in a bit, I'm about 30-45 minutes in. Do you guys really care if I start from the beginning or is this fine?
I'm still on the first mission thing
Cool. I have to take a phone call in about 5 minutes and then I'll stream
23:33
@GraceNote holy shit the plurk promo item.
A very useful item
(also what the fuck is a plurk)
(I've googled it, but I just had to ask that question out loud)
I'd've thought that a trip through the Plurkwood would've made you think better of asking.
> Labor law is anti-employment, with no right-to-work law, high minimum wages, strict workers’ comp mandates, mandated short-term disability insurance, and a stricter-than-federal anti-discrimination law.
@GraceNote if the level design had anything with it, it'd have been bloom town
also apparently staying on a healing patch lets you rack up combo faster than usual
you can't get more than a B outside of a boss fight -- because that's where my combo drops down to when I step off this healing bit thing

Q: Is there a limit to how many times a particular scanner can be used?

HorusKolThere are a number of scanners around each world in No Man's Sky that help identify interesting locations on that world. You get 4 options - and I've been going around crafting bypass keys and selecting each one once at each scanner. But I got to wondering a couple of things: Does the scanner...

...and when you overflow the max bar it goes empty?
tcrf.net wow, pretty cool - a wiki dedicated to content in game files that doesn't appear ingame
...or is it because it's at the border of the screen and I'm hitting it twice per frame for some reason
Well last I checked when you fill it it just says filled at MAX so that you have buffer amount
huh there seems to be a very specific place where I'm hitting this thing twice per frame
23:44
I'm too busy trying to remember where exactly my screenshots are stored
when I go off the spot the counter goes up by one unit at a time
My average combo count for bosses in my Hell runs seems to have been in the 400-500 neighborhood
heh
I have ranks, I have inadequate ranks
the worst ranks
I could flaunt my ranks but that feels like it'd be rude
though I don't remember taking 2,198 damage
considered that's over four times my max health
23:50
@GraceNote informing @badp of his inadequate mousing is helpful
again, no mousing is involved in this game
you inadequate memers

Q: What potential things can be found for each Signal Scanner selection?

ReafexusWhen you get to a scanner you are given 4 things to scan for: Monolith Outpost(?) Transmission Shelter I think Monolith is obviously going to be alien artifacts almost every time but the other 3 all kind of overlap. What landmarks does each give?

@badp irrelevant
@Wipqozn i didn't know @StrixVaria was a bojack fan
23:52
also, like every other sites main chat rooms are dead as dead can be.
@GodEmperorDune ...zeus damn it...
all you mods look alike
I blame @fredley
but i figured you could tell each other apart
@Wipqozn I blame @Wipqozn, and @uni is wrong
23:53
@GraceNote ohhh. Spike as in damage taken by spikes?
@badp Correct
Saya a best
