@Wipqozn Audible did this for their Cyber Monday sale. Book 2 or 3 of the series would be $5, marked down from $40, but book 1 would be full price.

murgatroid99

Someone opens a bug on our repository. I suggest a solution. OP responds that the solution worked. A new person shows up and says "I have the same problem"

What do I say to that?

Tim Stone

"Then you have the same solution, hooray!"

Or throw a table

I would throw a table

murgatroid99

They also helpfully pointed out that a binary blob we distribute separately is in our .gitignore

SaintWacko

18:32

@murgatroid99 "I'm glad we could help you find a solution!"

murgatroid99

My suspicion is that they didn't look very carefully at the error output, and they actually have a different problem with similar symptoms

Yuuki

@murgatroid99 "I have the same solution"

Tim Stone

18:48

Sneakernet now on wheels. And with much, much more capacity

GodEmperorDune

@TimStone so i guess the internet is a truck and not a series of tubes

Tim Stone

Also trucks are now snowmobiles

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy not quite the same. My company just gets a bunch of bookks every year for reviews since we're newspper. And a couple times a year they just sell everything off to staff. First day: $2 for soft covers $3 for hardcovers. Second day: $1 for everything. Third day: It's all free.

GodEmperorDune

18:52

@TimStone wait i thought the whole point of JTAG was that you could use it to resurrect a semi bricked device

so what good is a virtual jtag?

Tim Stone

Well they're FPGAs, so it's virtual access to the JTAG

djsmiley2k

Ellesedil

I don't either. I lack a PS4.

I also lack a 3DS, so now Pokemon for me either. Missing out on all the cool games.

djsmiley2k

Maybe you can buy me the game? <3

Right now i'm hoping someone takes pity on me or something

Wipqozn

I'll be playing it come christmas

Sterno

@Wipqozn By then it'll be OLD

StrixVaria

@Ellesedil So far pretty good, just wish I could figure out how to wait until a certain time of day without relying on contextual interactions.

fredley

19:01

@TimStone hahaha

@TimStone best name ever

Sterno

Well, I watched the FF XV movie

Things make more sense now

Why they couldn't have had a 3 minute summary of it somewhere in the game, I don't know

StrixVaria

@Sterno What movie?

Sterno

@StrixVaria amazon.com/Kingsglaive-Final-Fantasy-Aaron-Paul/dp/B01GOREHXI

Note: Not a great movie, other than it looked pretty

But it explains what the hell is going on with the crystal and the ring and Lunafreya

StrixVaria

Well I'm certainly not paying money to watch it.

I don't think I'm far enough in to know what the crystal/ring are. I've seen her once and she had a ring, maybe that? Nothing about it was said though.

Sterno

There's probably a 4 paragraph summary out there somewhere that covers it

StrixVaria

19:04

I'm playing pretty slowly and did every sidequest I could access before doing any mainquests.

Sterno

I just started Chapter 3. Where are you at?

StrixVaria

Somewhere in Chapter 2.

Just left the two back to back tombs.

Sterno

I think you're only about a mission behind me then

Tombs were pretty cool

Yuuki

@Sterno Huh. I thought that was unrelated.

StrixVaria

Yeah, I liked the dark/claustrophobic fights. Made me wary to use fire but it was so effective.

Sterno

19:06

I have a lot of trouble using spells without hurting myself

StrixVaria

I had to pile all the HP-up accessories on Noctis because I'm terrible at defending.

Sterno

@Yuuki No. Some of the cutscenes from within the game are pulled straight from that movie.

StrixVaria

I don't know why, but I automatically press R1 when I need to defend, which is not the defend button.

Sterno

@StrixVaria I just warp around between enemies like crazy

I'm always hitting the wrong buttons too.

StrixVaria

@Sterno Do you have wait mode on?

Sterno

19:07

And I just this morning found out I need to hold square, not press square, to dodge

StrixVaria

Yeah, attacking/defending are both hold actions.

You just hold circle and attack until you let go.

I can't figure out how to use machinery.

Sterno

@StrixVaria Yeah, I didn't really want to, but I ended up turning it on once I saw that there are skills that directly interact with it

StrixVaria

I was just standing there not doing anything as I held circle, and then the enemy came and wrecked me.

Sterno

I equipped machinery on Prompto (or maybe it was Ignis) and he just uses it automatically sometimes

StrixVaria

I mean when I equipped it onto Noctis.

Was just trying out a bunch of different weapon classes.

Sterno

19:09

I haven't tried. I'm too busy javelinning people in the face

StrixVaria

One thing that seems really effective is using those HP-stealing weapons only for warp strikes.

Sterno

Best moment so far was a dropship of level 16 imperial troops all clustered together that got a faceful of potency 160ish fire

StrixVaria

Like switch to your weapon with 400 more attack than your other stuff, warp strike, then switch back to a weapon that doesn't kill yourself as you use it.

Sterno

@StrixVaria That weapon takes a couple hundred HP per swing though. It's insane

Q: Is there a way to see how many covenant items I have turned in?

I'm farming for covenant items in order to get the rank rewards (spells & items). Is there a way to see how many I have turned in already to the covenant vendor/master? So I know how many more I need. I know it is 10 for the first reward and 30 for the next reward, but lost count and neglected...

minecraft-commands

StrixVaria

19:10

@Sterno I haven't actually gotten a chance to try it yet.

Sterno

(the big axe one)

StrixVaria

That sounds dangerous.

I only have like 800 HP even with HP accessories on.

Sterno

I like to pull it out before a technique

StrixVaria

Oh, that's a good idea too.

Sterno

I'm also not sure where those king weapons fall in terms of resistances

MadMAxJr

19:11

Hopefully my copy is actually here today.

Sterno

I think my other favorite moment was the first time I went for a drive at night.

StrixVaria

The first time I went for a drive at night I encountered a level 30 demon with a giant machete. I warp striked it (I'd just saved), did almost no damage, he smacked me for 70% of my HP and instantly killed Prompto, and then I sprinted away.

Sterno

Pretty much yeah

I didn't really expect everyone to be like "Let's get out of the car"

I tried to fight one at level 17 and still can barely scratch it

StrixVaria

I have a feeling "and instantly killed Prompto" is going to be a common element of FFXV fan memories.

Sterno

Prompto has my two best HP bangles

I think they doubled his HP

StrixVaria

19:13

@Sterno Yeah, this was weird. At some point, I tried driving past it instead of engaging, and they were all like "nope, got to get out and deal with this".

I should go back and do those level 15 bounties I've been avoiding. I think I'm close to that level now.

Sterno

I'm mostly okay with Prompto dying because I hate the sound of his voice

StrixVaria

I hate Ignis's speech the most.

They couldn't have concentrated any more pompousness into one being.

Sterno

But you love the way he stands pensively and then snaps his fingers when you decide what he should cook!

StrixVaria

@Sterno I've only cooked one meal all game so far because I've always rested in those trailers for the XP bonus.

Sterno

At one point I figured out they could change clothes, did that to make them look less douchey, and then had to change it back when I realized the different outfits had different stat bonuses

StrixVaria

19:15

30 gil for a 20% XP bonus, or 300 for a 50%, or 10000 for a 100%. Seems not to scale.

@Sterno I picked based only on appearance, and now I have to go look again because stats are much more important.

GodEmperorDune

@StrixVaria not promptly killed prompto?

Sterno

Their default clothes are the +hp ones

StrixVaria

@Sterno Oh, that makes sense.

I should probably switch Prompto's back at least then.

Sterno

I cringe every time Cindi (or however they spell it... the mechanic) is on the screen

StrixVaria

Yes, same.

I especially hate refilling the gas in the car because then you have to watch like 30 seconds of her just standing there holding the gas hose.

Should spend the extra 20 gil to fast travel to that southern area with the other gas thing, refill there, and then fast travel back to wherever you were.

Sterno

19:18

Is it just me, or do you find yourself jumping around all the time when you meant to open a door or pick up an item?

StrixVaria

Every single time, I always jump first.

Sterno

fast travel doesn't use gas and I never drive manually anymore

StrixVaria

Trying to give the cat a fish, first jump on its back.

@Sterno Really? But driving is when I get to listen to old FF soundtracks :(

Sterno

@StrixVaria Yeah. But ugh

Though with how slow it seems to me, any drive of < 2 min is probably close to break-even

I suspect I'll be using chocobos

Also, fishing was my absolutely least favorite part of the game. I hope I never need to do it again

Wipqozn

@Sterno Just like you!

Sterno

19:22

@Wipqozn YOUR JOKES ARE OLD TOO

Wipqozn

@Sterno oh right I'll need to watch that. Or read the internet.

StrixVaria

Yeah, I don't understand why they put fishing in.

Sterno

@Wipqozn I'd read the internet unless you have a history of enjoying the past FF movies

Wipqozn

@Sterno I don't

Sterno

I probably liked it better than Advent Children or that weird one that had nothing to do with any games

Yuuki

19:23

@StrixVaria It's Final Fantasy. Of course they're going to have inane minigames.

Wipqozn

I shall read the internet then. Thank you @Sterno.

Sterno

I was all excited to play pinball but then got confused by the actual pinball game

StrixVaria

@Sterno did you try the pinball game thing?

Sterno

StrixVaria

Wipqozn

19:24

man @StrixVaria looks like a total fool now!

StrixVaria

@Wipqozn I'll ban you.

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria Ha! I'm immune to bans now.

Wait bragging about that is what led another mod to deletion.

StrixVaria

But yeah, I just wish it was regular digital pinball instead of whatever it actually is.

Wipqozn

err I mean no sir please no

Sterno

I think I have 1 level 15 bounty I have to go do but everything else is either in the chapter 3 area or level 20+

That Dave guy who wants dog tags is everywhere

EVERYWHERE

Wipqozn

19:25

okay back to work

Sterno

Also, hearing Stand By Me in the intro was unexpected

Yuuki

Hmm... how do I get VSCode to actually debug my project?

MadMAxJr

Dark rituals, sacrifice.

Yuuki

Some functionality that I wrote for the debug build works perfectly fine but then breaks in the distribution build.

And trying to debug it from the console is pretty much impossible because it's obfuscated and minified and all sorts of things.

murgatroid99

You don't have access to the unminified distribution file?

Yuuki

19:33

I probably do and I have no idea what I'm doing.

Most merchants have a chest hidden behind a wall or under the floor/ground at their shop. I really want the enchanted rings that the werewolf Majni, at Frostmoon Crag, sells, but I can't afford them, so I was looking for his merchant's chest. However, I can't find it. Any clue where it is?

no device checks, no data encryptions, it sends steam guard codes as push notifications AND even marks its notifications as trivial, so it gets through lock screen even when you set it to hide important notifications (which is well, all notifications except those specifically flagged as trivial).
