Q: Is the Zeta Draconis's Thraddash battle... endless?

I'm up for getting some sort of sacred relic from the star system Zeta Draconis. The problem isn't facing thraddash in battle, but the amount of them which were rounding the planet, I believe they were like around 50 of them, and I've been one-shooting every single one, but they keep coming and ...

djsmiley2k

So you guys know how i was unsure if i was being a bad person with work?

yesterday about 4pm i tld the boss I wouldn't be in today as getting no sleep etc knackered

Arperum

@djsmiley2k Are you?

djsmiley2k

this morning 8am 'oh I really need you in to support'

I'm like 'well crap things must be bad, going to be there in 1/2 hr'

Arperum

@djsmiley2k And you're at work right now?

djsmiley2k

It was because he hadn't come in and hadn't told anyone he wasn't going to be in

Arperum

09:26

...

djsmiley2k

after telling me on wednesday "We'll sort your leaving stuff on friday"

yeah

so screw him, screw this place

yes, I'm here at work right now

it's utterly dead

the other guy in the office is still refusing to speak to me

which is just funny, as he's a 40+ yr old man

Also someone has told some random people to use my desk

so now Im on the desk in the corner, no one really notices me here, muahah

Arperum

@djsmiley2k WHy?

djsmiley2k

Because I'm leaving and I guess it'll dump him in hte crap

which really is just a sign of how bad things are around here

But I think he's been here too long to move anywhere else, and so he's stuck hating it

and hating everyone who has some part of it

Arperum

That sucks.

djsmiley2k

yeah

I mean I feel bad for the guys I'm leaving, but I can't hold up my getting away from here for them

He seems to have taken it as some kind of insult or something I guess

I know my boss likely went to him 'you'll need to cover this'

Annnnnnnnnd now he's talking to me like nothings happened

SO CONFUSE.

Arperum

09:41

Sounds like fun.

arda

@djsmiley2k he is reading the bridge :p

Kevin van der Velden

He's secretly @fredley

Not @Ronan because ronan is 16

Also \o/ customer admins breaking things so no one can log in on their site

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden Forever 21 16

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden Wait, if @fredley is 40+ according to this...

Does that mean that @fredley is older than @Sterno?

Kevin van der Velden

No that's @JasonBerk... rip :(

djsmiley2k

10:14

@arda rofl can't image that :D

@SaintWacko nice! Glad to hear it's going well (interview process - currently going for new job atm)

@arda imagine even...

sequoiad

@djsmiley2k sounds fun

Q: How would a person get out of Fallout 4 power armor in real life

I wonder - if a power armor in real life would have been implemented more or less the same way as in Fallout 4 then how is its user supposed to exit it? What could be a mechanism to avoid false positives i.e. unintentional opening it from the inside?

fallout-4

Wipqozn

@Sterno I completed the "rob the bank for the crazy conspiracy nutjob" quest last night. I plan to do a bunch of prague stuff before moving onto next mission, aka try to finish it all. I may have misssed one or two by skipping ahead, but man, I just wanted to get to the next mission. I just wish there weren't so many all at once / before the first mission.

Q: How do I launch Starbound and the dedicated server from Steam

I'm using the dedicated server to play with my friends, but if I have already launched the game from Steam, when I select Starbound again and this time, I instead select "dedicated server", nothing happens. The dedicated server does not launch or anything. Note: I'm doing this by right clicking...

@Sterno @TimStone time to feel inadequate!

@sequoiad that's life :D

@Lazers2.0 voice command? biting something?

Ok next message really needs starring / pinning

Sony have enabled 2FA for PSN accounts -> arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/08/…

Annnnnnnnnnd the site has gone down

GnomeSlice

11:05

@badp did you really ban me for that

sheesh

itchy trigger finger

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice A comment like that about her is going to lead to nothing but drama in chat, and you should know that.

GnomeSlice

I do

Wipqozn

You weren't suspended by a mod either, it was by the community.

GnomeSlice

I'm okay with that

Wipqozn

Anything that's 30 minutes long is community flag suspension

GnomeSlice

11:08

@Wipqozn I find that highly suspect, because it took literally 2 seconds

and the message was "a clown"

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice I know, I can see that, and that sounds like it may have been a mod then, in which cae they gave you the shortest possible suspension they could have, aka a regular ol' click that flag button one.

GnomeSlice

and we all know who hates that word in here

just seems a little unreasonable is all

Nzall

We got someone with coulrophobia in here?

Kevin van der Velden

Clowns are horrible but not me

GnomeSlice

@GodEmperorDune One of those people that seems more focused on drawing attention to themselves than actually producing quality content

@GnomeSlice A comment like that about her is going to lead to nothing but drama in chat, and you should know that.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn I never got to respond to it last night

somebody banned me

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice That doens't mean you need to respond to it now.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn Oh i thought you meant a comment about bp, didnt see the her

@Wipqozn he asked me a question

sequoiad

"Do you want to back up to a floppy disk" WHY IS THIS STILL A THING ITS 2016!!!

Kevin van der Velden

What program is suggesting that? o.o

GnomeSlice

11:17

Maybe floppies are coming back like vinyls

(probably not)

Arperum

@GnomeSlice snorts

sequoiad

some customised Smoothwall install

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Yes, and before you had a chance to answer you got banned for making statements which are only going to lead to trouble, which that answer is too. Frankly i don't know enough about the whole drama to have an opinion one way or another on the people involved, but I do know it's not a topic we want to be discussing herein chat. and starting off that discussion with insulting her, or saying she just wants attention, is not going to lead to anything but an anger and drama filled chat.

GnomeSlice

the "drama" is a chuck tingle dating sim lol

It's gonna be hilarious

There is a lot of nuance to the word clown

also people say worse things about trump in here

anyway time for work

Wipqozn

@badp I have my stream from last night playing and I heard a ping in stream and thought it was RL

arda

11:28

@Wipqozn I had that happen while watching bridgers' streams

Arperum

@arda Yes. Watching @twobugs does that to you.

I'm in Schrodinger's box today: working from home

djsmiley2k

wow wow wow

i love how 'celebrity' is something that means you can't have a voiced opinion on something these days

unless @GnomeSlice has deleted a lot of comments which I can't see of course. But it doesn't look that way

Derpy

I would have expected you to be and not be in Schrodinger's box today...

Arperum

11:36

@djsmiley2k Was about something from yesterday or so IIRC. I vaguely noticed it, don't know context.

djsmiley2k

ah ok

this is why the site sometimes needs PM :/

Arperum

Is @badp still awake? (for no specific reason, just curious)

Kevin van der Velden

He's at work I think?

He might have died

Arperum

Yea, and he did not sleep at all last night because way too bloody hot.

Also: I want to sleep.

Kevin van der Velden

He's italian, he has no excuse

I've been inactive recently but I think I was getting sick or something. I have been exhausted for the past week or so

@KevinvanderVelden I know you're joking, and the tweet is using the wrong word, but he's talking about acceleration, not speed.

Kevin van der Velden

13:26

@MBraedley oh that's not clear from the tweet at all

Sterno

Kevin van der Velden

So it accelerates faster than gravity basically

Nzall

@Sterno how? what? How did you manage to make that translucent if you don't hover it?

I don't know what you're talking about so I'm going to blame @fredley scripts

Nzall

Yeah, if you just installed PorkChat it's one of the features, you can turn it off in the settings.

ah, okay

Wipqozn

@Sterno That's a safe bet

@Sterno Also I thought this was in reply to @MBraedley installing the no more friday sript

Arperum

@Nzall That name is based in history

Wipqozn

@Nzall Sounds like the perfect name to me

fredley

@Nzall DATA REJECTED

Nzall

I mean for clarity. I checked the options menu, but many of those options just have a really obfuscated name

Kevin van der Velden

@MBraedley no it would have helped if he used the word accelerates =p

Or doesn't make meaningless complications and just says compares it directly with gravity

two bugs

It would have helped if @fredley had voted against Brexit instead of for it

Sterno

13:31

@Wipqozn I really kind of want to do a playthrough where I murder everyone. It's hard to hack all these turrets that you can set to friendly fire and NOT do it

That's what he referred to

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley wasn't there even a backronym for PONIES? That was the best

There was

Huh. Apparently FF 15 is pulling a reverse FF 13.

First half is open world.

Second is linear.

Sterno

@Wipqozn I think I just found another way into Koller's that totally bypasses the shop. it's super easy though so maybe it doesn't open until you've been there once.

Kevin van der Velden

Or maybe you're just bad at the game
