Wait should I spend them before the end of the trip?

Yes

RedRiderX

I thought I could only go back out a few times

Private Pansy

Erm, you mean the maps?

RedRiderX

Yeah the maps

Private Pansy

17:00

Oh, you can keep those

Sterno

@wipqozn Guess who is at home and seated in front of his computer awaiting final installation to finish?

Private Pansy

They're items in their own right, in the Cartography category

RedRiderX

lol no I mean to get to 8 Running battle

Private Pansy

You might need them to make a Screaming Map

RedRiderX

Already got that

Private Pansy

17:01

Erm, Running Battle is exchanged for a Strange Catch, which is then exchanged for an quality when you meet the strange women

The exact math behind each of those exchanges are a little murkey

You should get rid of the catch before going back though

RedRiderX

Sorry I got all that but I mean is there a limit to how many times you can go back out for one catch.

It seemed to me I could only go back out two times before the guy I rented the boat from wanted me to pack it in.

I could be wrong though

Private Pansy

Oh, you mean retrying because on the second time you retain some Running Battle from the first time?

I've never tried that. It doesn't seem worth it to me. I just drop a few items here and there to speed things up.

You get those items in the festival anyway

RedRiderX

Yeah true enough

A bit of a major meta change before the international tourneys start though.

Dragonrage

17:40

@Yuuki it was a terrible time to release the patch for pro teams

basically the entire meta that they have been playing this season is gone during playoffs to qualify for worlds.

teams literally had 2 weeks to adjust to a major meta shift before qualifying for worlds

18:01

@Dragonrage good, some have been getting to complacent in their comps in tournaments I've seen recently

Would be nice to see some of the top teams have to adapt

Yuuki

@sequoiad There's a difference between having to adapt to a different meta and being given 2 weeks to do so.

Dragonrage

@sequoiad they shouldnt have to adapt in 2 weeks before qualifying for worlds. it's like a regular sports team having to learn completely new rules to the game they have to play during playoffs

sequoiad

It'll make for a more interesting tournament anyway

Dragonrage

i agree that the meta gets a little stale after awhile, but any major changes should happen after worlds in preparation for the next season, not during the season

Yuuki

@sequoiad There have been several complaints that this kind of sudden change is what leads to player burnout.

Why learn how to play well when the rules change at the drop of a hat?

sequoiad

18:08

Because the rules are not changing

Fun fact: I've dealt with a database that had 10 foreign keys to the same table.

MBraedley

Wait, are A, B, and C columns, or can B and C just be different values in the same column?

StrixVaria

@Yuuki He needed a rework.

Yuuki

@StrixVaria Bit of a lore change too. Now all his ghouly-ghost powers come from his cape.

I think Riot are just trying to spice things up and make a better tournament for the viewers. Which is kinda needed in my opinion.

Yuuki

Like Ragman.

@sequoiad Yorick update won't be in Worlds.

StrixVaria

18:35

@sequoiad I know that they're trying to make things more interesting for viewers, but I don't think that's all they're doing.

Yorick was completely oppressive in lane while still being kind of underpowered, which is a ridiculous and awful balance issue.

sequoiad

@StrixVaria such as?

StrixVaria

@sequoiad Actually balancing the game?

Wipqozn

cc @Sterno

Dragonrage

@sequoiad sure, making things interesting for the viewers is nice, but if they make it impossible for players to keep playing, or impossible for teams to really make money, the lcs will just die

@MBraedley they are columns

MBraedley

@Wipqozn That's stupid

Wipqozn

@Frank Yes

IT's gotta be a mistake.

Probably be fixed in a patch

StrixVaria

@sequoiad It took them a real long time to figure out what kinds of designs were just untenable. The fact that they're going back and addressing old broken champions is actually pretty cool.

Just, Warwick, soon, please.

sequoiad

@StrixVaria yeah agreed. Which means we might see the teams using comps that aren't the usual heroes, and more unique strategies?

Wipqozn

or not, it's intentional

@TimStone Oh hey, I forgot to ask. 3PM Central or 3PM Eastern?

I'm guessing Eastern?

Frank

Squeenix is being greedy.

Yuuki

Wipqozn

@TimStone nah, just had to restart for graphics settings

Tim Stone

@Yuuki Probably, yeah

sequoiad

They could always add another map... Nah, that'll never happen.

Son of a Sailor

18:45

A new map is coming soon(tm), right after replays and sandbox

Yuuki

It's not like FPSes where you have quick 10-15 minute rounds. Although I guess League is kinda getting there with the emphasis on early-game snowballing.

sequoiad

Watching HoTS tournaments recently the map rotation really helps keep it interesting

Yuuki

@sequoiad HotS is different because I swear the matches are shorter than bathroom breaks.

Son of a Sailor

@Yuuki Its a lot more exciting than watching 30 minutes of lane swaps followed by a couple teamfights

Yuuki

Well, they're definitely removing laneswaps right now.

Again, I'm not saying the game doesn't need changes. I'm saying that those changes shouldn't happen mid-season.

It's like the NFL ruling that wide receivers aren't a legal position anymore because the passing meta is too dominant halfway through the Super Bowl game.

sequoiad

18:48

No. It's not.

Yuuki

Well, not necessarily halfway through the game but in the middle of the season.

Dragonrage

GnomeSlice

This Tricky Towers free ps+ game is such a nice surprise

this is a really fun mp thing

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice I played it for 5 minutes and uninstalled.

Son of a Sailor

I don't think thats really a fair comparison seeing as football doesn't go through balance changes the way a MOBA does

Yuuki

18:49

Well, considering my argument is that I don't like the way a MOBA goes through balance changes, that's kinda the point.

StrixVaria

It's a tough problem to solve, though.

Riot wants to put out beneficial changes for non-pro players as fast as they're ready.

If they locked in the pro version at the beginning of the season, then the game the pros are playing continues to get out of sync with the current version of the game, which has a bunch of bad effects.

It means that when pros play casual games it might negatively influence their ability to play in their pro games.

Yuuki

@StrixVaria Well, professional tournaments already use different patches from players. When the Yorick update is shipped, Worlds will still be on the previous patch.

The point is that Riot usually distinguishes between major and minor patches, which is great.

StrixVaria

@Yuuki Right, they have a lag so that pros can learn the new patch before they're mandated to do it in pro games immediately.

Fluttershy

@twobugs So, apparently that super expensive edition of FFXV doesn't come with the season pass.

Yuuki

But they had to know that the last patch was a major one, given how much they knew it would affect the meta.

But they didn't seem to treat it like a major patch.

Wipqozn

18:52

oh wow this is the best game to ever exist and anyone not playing right now is missing out (cc @TimStone @Sterno)

Dragonrage

@StrixVaria the laneswap patch was specifically targeted at pro play, and it barely effects regular players.

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria I'm enjoying our a lot more than I thought i would

Tim Stone

@Wipqozn You are the worst

StrixVaria

But imagine if the pros played on the January patch each year through worlds in October.

GnomeSlice

mp is great

StrixVaria

18:53

@Dragonrage Because of the last thing they have to take into consideration, which is viewership.

Laneswaps are boring to watch. Even lanes are much more exciting.

Dragonrage

@StrixVaria they don't need to play January's patch, just don't make that huge of changes during the season

Sterno

@Wipqozn so's urdad

Dragonrage

watch the 3 videos i posted

Tim Stone

@Wipqozn Is your dad the game reviewer?

I think what they should do is have LCS be a separate thing from riot

riot should not own the entire league and have the rules for it.

So the question is, why?

Wipqozn

@TimStone nah, I'm just lying about my dad. The only video game my father has eve rplayed is Wii Sports.

sequoiad

Are they losing faith? Or trying to generate views through controversy?

Dragonrage

@sequoiad because the way it is setup, riot gets all the money. If it was setup better for teams and players, they would lose money

well, they wouldnt lose money, they just wouldnt get as much

StrixVaria

@Dragonrage yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes

The NFL doesn't own the game of football. There can be and are non-NFL football leagues.

Riot has a monopoly on professional LoL, which makes for really bad competitive integrity.

@Yuuki as weird as it sounds, focus on breathing

not like hyperventilating but taking deep breaths and feeling the air in your lungs

sequoiad

Every one has their own coping tactic, a lot sound weird

GodEmperorDune

it both distracts you from the anxiety and helps you get oxygen, because the stress response is usually to hold your breath, which doesn't work for long periods of time

but yeah, do whatever works for you

(that is also legal in your jurisdiction)

Kevin van der Velden

Pro tip: Regardless of legallity, smoking weed before an interview is a bad idea

@KevinvanderVelden Makes you too relaxed?

Like mine was to count up every time the interviewer said a certain word. Sounds weird, but slight multi tasking really helped

@KevinvanderVelden I'm not going to ask if experience because that would be a stereotype. Or something. Whatever. JOKE MADE

GodEmperorDune

19:41

@Yuuki coming across as calm and confident will make up for that. plus a good interviewer will kind of prod you if you are forgetting something major or if you miss something big or if you say the same thing twice instead of different things

@SaintWacko it seems like the punchline to this joke is a HNNNNNNNNNNNNG

Dragonrage

one of my interviews the person used a term i wasn't familiar with. I told him i wasn't sure what he was talking about because i wasn't familiar with the term. he then explained it and i was able to complete the task

GodEmperorDune

yeah i've done that too, where i know a technique but not the specific term for it

Dragonrage

he also asked me if a knew about a specific thing and i told him no. he moved on after that, but when the interview was finished, i asked some of my friends and they had never heard of it either.

Tim Stone

I got asked "and what about the base case?" once during a programming exercise and totally blew the interview on that (and possibly other things) because my brain was just like "powering down now" and I completely blanked on what was going on

Which of course makes it worse in retrospect because you're like "Whaaat that was so simple you dummy"

A: Does Mount and Blade Warband have cheats to allow me to besiege a castle on my own? If so, how can I enable and use these?

Looking at the source code, the cheat menu doesn't actually allow you to attack a castle on your own. You can start a siege on your own via the cheat menu, but you will not be able to perform the actual attack. For that, you need at least 3 soldiers: ("castle_lead_attack", [ (neg|troop...

I don't actually know the site scope all that well...

@TimStone what about it? it all belong to us?

@GodEmperorDune that is my guess. i even tried googling it and found nothing on it

It's possible the previous discussion was about modding not being allowed or reverse engineering being off-topic

Tim Stone

@GodEmperorDune Pretty much

But no, it was a recursive implementation where I failed to put in the termination case or something, I forget now

@Pimgd cc @Wipqozn

and I had edited my question to be about cheatcodes - but I found a reverse engineering solution

Q: Madden 16 Defense Can't adjust camera zoom

I am having the problem where the d pad is not allowing me to zoom in and out. This is really frustrating as I can't read the offense. Strangely, I can zoom in and out just find on special teams. Thanks

Q: Why won't iron golems spawn?

My survival iron golem farm / I set everything up (4 vertical blocks, 21x21 spawning platform, 4 villager cages, 16 villagers, and the killing platform down below, cleared out any doors/golems nearby), but no golems are spawning. Can someone tell me what I did wrong with my build?

my question: is the question & self-answer good as is right now?

Seems legit to me

GodEmperorDune

@TimStone ah i almost always do the "don't recurse inifinitely" stuff first just to avoid that

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk Surprisingly despite easy and legal access I have never actually smoked weed

@Pimgd I think it looks fine. You answer the question as written in the first sentence, then provide an alternate solution

GodEmperorDune

@KevinvanderVelden LOL AMSTERDAM 420 BRO

Wipqozn

@Pimgd Don't got time to really look / think, because Deus, BUT answers are never off-topic. If your question is in scope, then it's totally fine to provide an answer which would normally fall outside out expertise.

and self answering is always okay

@GodEmperorDune Yeah, it would have been sensible but I was in anxiety overload

Kevin van der Velden

@GodEmperorDune you do realize coffeeshops aren't just an amsterdam thing

Dragonrage

@Wipqozn see, that's why i pinged you, because you explain that well

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn Duelyst is out on Steam

Guess I really have no excuse to not try it now

Kevin van der Velden

Heck, my town of ~18.500 people has one

GodEmperorDune

@KevinvanderVelden i will not have my stereotype jokes altered based on "truth"

Pimgd

19:51

Great, I guess I'll mark my self-answer as accepted then

GodEmperorDune

also people who interrupt my lunch to get me to look at a non-critical issue are the worst

Dragonrage

@GodEmperorDune that is why i dont do work during my lunch

GodEmperorDune

@Dragonrage yeah i should hide somewhere away from my desk for that

Dragonrage

@Frank i used part of your solution and changed up how the new feature i was trying to build works and it works now. thanks for the help
