@SaintWacko discord, steam, overwatch

SaintWacko

@KevinvanderVelden Why don't you just give them the same ptt key?

Yuuki

@SaintWacko Yeah, we use JIRA here too.

fredley

3:01 PM

JIRA is the worst

SaintWacko

I have my ptt key bound to the button on the back of my mouse. The one that's supposed to toggle free scroll

Yuuki

@SaintWacko Well, you can be in Discord and Overwatch at the same time.

fredley

Sadly everything else is worse

But it's still the worst

Kevin van der Velden

@SaintWacko same \o/

Yuuki

I imagine it's possible that you can also be in Steam chat as well.

Kevin van der Velden

3:01 PM

@Yuuki yes that

SaintWacko

@fredley We just switched from Pivotal

@TimStone iirc the grade weight is approximately 60-40 individual/group

BlueBarren

@PrivatePansy we've never used whatchya-ma-callits for school (for some reason I can't remember what things like git are called right now)

SaintWacko

@Yuuki I guess that's true. I really only use voice chat when I'm ingame

Kevin van der Velden

I also didn't want to use the same button for steam and discord

SaintWacko

3:01 PM

@BlueBarren Source control

Private Pansy

@BlueBarren (D)VCS?

Unionhawk

Except right now they're using the I instead of the F and I has different rules

BlueBarren

@SaintWacko there we go, first brain fart of the day, eh?

Yuuki

I use voice activity on Discord but maybe I should consider PTT.

arda

@SaintWacko I play TF2 while on discord chat. I had times where I yelled "dammit spies" in discord and accidentally talked about discord topics on TF2.

SaintWacko

3:02 PM

@arda Haha

arda

and the ptt keys are different

v for tf2, num1 for discord.

SaintWacko

Yeah, I guess if you're using voice chat for non-gaming stuff, too, that makes sense

sence?

Private Pansy

@fredley That's actually really interesting, although I'm not entirely sure of the relevance

SaintWacko

wtf fingers

Yuuki

Nobody's ever on voice chat in Arqade Discord. :(

fredley

3:03 PM

@PrivatePansy People put in less effort when in a team

arda

Sence means "what about you?" in turkish and that really caused a reality check on me.

Turkish on english chatrooms tend to do that. Annoying, tbh.

fredley

Earliest studies were in tug o' war games. Pulling force of the group does not scale linearly, as more people are added, each pulls less.

Private Pansy

With software engineering though there's a fairly large overhead when working in a team

My Mom still can't listen to any songs from Sleeping Beauty without crying.

I did a lot of code reviews for that last project

3:04 PM

What the actual fuck.

arda

@Yuuki Well I'm willing to drop by VC if there's any event or whatever, like if we play a game together

Yuuki

@arda I typically jump on when I'm gaming and not needed in voice chat with other people.

BlueBarren

@fredley little do they realize I'm always a loaf

Yuuki

You're late, Michael Pryor (CEO of Trello just sent me an email that they're being acquired).

To be fair, it's one of those mass emails.

arda

And my gold is just expiring.

I won't renew, likely.

@BlueBarren The last x has to do something

@BlueBarren likely because he is a Trello user?

BlueBarren

@Yuuki I didn't know we had a discord

Ash

@TimStone hahahaha I had the same thought

BlueBarren

@PrivatePansy silly MS changes things sometimes

@Ash I don't even know what Trello is soooooo

Ash

@BlueBarren read the article?

Private Pansy

Well, to be fair as far as I can remember, the change was from a binary format to Office Open XML, so... not a little change.

Ash

Google for it?

BlueBarren

3:09 PM

@Ash someone linked an article? It's too early for anything still

Ash

(although the article does kinda give you a decent idea and pictures

BlueBarren

ooo I like pictures

@PrivatePansy I'm betting horrible

Now that sounds like a course

Fluttershy

3:14 PM

@GnomeSlice Yeah. It's not something I'm proud of, but it is what it is.

Ash

The title of the pink one has me scratching my head

Private Pansy

@Ash The OB markers module is about censorship. OB is local politic-speak for "out of bound" marker

Ash

@PrivatePansy ah, I see :)

What's life the universe and everything? It feels like it could be a lit course or something but that's just me guessing

Private Pansy

@BlueBarren That one is from the department of philosophy.

Ash

Philosophy was going to be my second guess!

Kevin van der Velden

3:15 PM

@PrivatePansy I moved your OB markers, class done

Private Pansy

It is as far as I can tell an introductory philosophy course with a funnier name

Ash

I borrowed the markers to finish this page in my MLP colouring book.

Private Pansy

OB marker

An OB marker, short for "out of bounds marker", is used in Singapore to denote what topics are permissible for public discussion. The full form of the word is rarely used. The term is adopted from golf, where an out of bounds marker denotes the area beyond which playing is not allowed. However, unlike golf, the OB markers of Singaporean political discourse are not visible. The term "OB markers" was first used in 1991 by the then-Minister for Information and the Arts George Yeo to describe the boundaries of acceptable political discourse. An additional complication is introduced by the fact that...

@Ash Well, I'm also bad at colors so I'm thinking the same thing.

3:17 PM

@Yuuki depends on how well your monitor is calibrated

Ash

It's kinda magentaish which to me reads as pink

Kevin van der Velden

It's also kinda inbetween

Chippies

my wife's old monitor showed the blue drops in Diablo 3 as purple

BlueBarren

Ash

@Chippies flipside: it took 2016 more than 12 months to kill the queen

BlueBarren

@PrivatePansy my semester looks heavier

badp

@Ash I and my mother have regular arguments on the topic

Private Pansy

@BlueBarren What I'm doing is heavier than recommended

Ash

@Chippies on our work wiki, we have sections that are dark teal and if I take that page on my second monitor they look pastel blue

Kevin van der Velden

Apparently roughly that colour is named "London Hue"

BlueBarren

3:19 PM

@PrivatePansy the price to pay when you want to learn about "Life, the Universe and Everything" ;)

badp

"take the blue jacket" "that's black" "blue" "very dark gray" "blue" "maybe greenish dark?"

Yuuki

Chippies

@Ash speaking of which, purple is such a bad color description, because there's a lot of colors that can be described as purple

Private Pansy

Especially because the Application Development on Modern Platforms module is a software engineering module with a 7 week project on an iPad app

And is considered to by the school's flagship module

Ash

@badp these sorts of things I just start gesturing at items til they tell me I have the right one :p

@Ronan Basically, it's like the Singaporean version of the Overton window, but across a much wider range of topics, and is enforced by the government

There are things which the government will "allow" the people to freely criticize it on, and there are those on which, if you speak out, the government will "nudge" you

The nudging can be anything from a public statement to throwing you into jail

Ronan

Oh it's actually an enforced thing?

Private Pansy

Well, enforced is probably too strong a word nowadays

The government will not use the criminal justice system for anything but the most out of line speech

But they can do a lot of things, like deny funding to artists who were given grants under government initiatives, for instance

Also, he's really charismatic in his interviews...

It's unfair, I tell you.

Arperum

@Yuuki Because jazz artists aren't allowed to be white?

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum clearly

It's against the law somewhere

Ash

@Yuuki quite unfair. I agree.

@Arperum I kinda get that it is a representation thing

fredley

@Arperum Because Jazz, in particular during that era, was black culture. It was derided and denounced by white society at the time. It's kinda whitewashing history, so to speak.

Yuuki

@fredley "That era"? I'm pretty sure La La Land takes place in a modern setting, considering there are smartphones and Priuses.

Ash

4:01 PM

@fredley thank you for wording stuff better for me

fredley

@Yuuki Oh ok, I was assuming the basis for the rage.

Kevin van der Velden

@Yuuki it takes place in 2016, that era of horror

fredley

In that case, there's quite a lot less of a case for worrying about it.

Yuuki

Although for a movie with a Prius joke, it has a really good way of making the time setting somewhat ambiguous.

Jazz is now mainstream, butthurt somewhat unjustified.

In that case, there's quite a lot less of a case for worrying about it.

BlueBarren

@Ash does that list go beside "games to play" and "books to read"? Personally if you could measure the size of that list for me it would be 1PB

or those lists rather

Arperum

@BlueBarren PB in game/movie data or in title text? because I don't think there have been enough movies and games to generate a Petabyte of text in titles only.

BlueBarren

4:05 PM

@Arperum oh no, you've seen the hole in my logic. Yeah it would be just text but you know I'm trying to express how large that list is for me

Depending on how you do things it could be the mediums themselves

that would potentially use up that much data

Arperum

@BlueBarren "Just" a GB of text would probably more then has been made.

> I don't know if I'm laughing harder at him calling Meryl Streep "overrated", him misspelling "overrated", or that he's so predictably stupid that everyone on earth expected him to embarrass himself somehow by posting on Twitter late at night after the Golden Globes and it came true.

Unionhawk

@Yuuki Yeeeeeeeah

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki or the fact that he still denies he was mocking the disabled reporter despite the video evidence of him doing so

Yuuki

Or even funnier, the top comment on the Reddit post is "Alright, who had 6:27 AM? You get the pool."

GodEmperorDune

really these things are not funny, they are Sad!

... I think Clinton might have won Texas if it was more widely known that Trump eats his steaks well-done with ketchup.

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki with ketchup?! wut

GnomeSlice

@Yuuki It's embarrassing to retaliate when somebody publicly shit talks you?

Yuuki

And not just "well-done". "It would rock on the plate, it was so well done"

@GnomeSlice When your retaliation involves actual physical mimicry of a person with a physical disability, yes.

> Obama had a "mocking style" too. Granted, his consisted of constructing words and sentences into coherent speech, but each to their own.

GnomeSlice

Taking about him tweeting at Meryl Streep

Jason Berkan

Argh. I was messing around with my Google accounts on the weekend and now my history has been cleared. I have to type out every URL completely, like a heathen.

@GnomeSlice a president should have better things to do than tweet at people for mocking them or their policies in public

Kevin van der Velden

@GnomeSlice it's embarrassing for the president elect of the united states of america to tweet about an actress calling him out on being a shitty person

GodEmperorDune

such as find nominees for critical departments after telling the obama appointees to all leave

GnomeSlice

they're people too

Kevin van der Velden

No

No that's bullshit

GodEmperorDune

@GnomeSlice they are now FIGUREHEADS, they are more than people

Yuuki

5:47 PM

@GodEmperorDune Or at the very least, he should be consistent and tweet at the politicians who are doing the same thing. He's been really quiet on tweeting to Sanders and Democratic politicians.

Kevin van der Velden

If you want to run for the highest office of politcs in your country we will hold you to a much higher level of expectation

murgatroid99

@KevinvanderVelden I think at this point we can say "hold" instead of "run for"

Kevin van der Velden

@murgatroid99 running for is a prerequisite for holding, I was talking more in general about when I'll hold you to that expectation

But yes you are correct, he does (almost) hold that position

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan did you see that xcom 2 sale i pinged you with? $12,humble monthly

murgatroid99

@KevinvanderVelden At least, he's past the point of running for it

Kevin van der Velden

5:50 PM

Indeed

SaintWacko

@Yuuki Ugh, I knew he was awful, but this...

Jason Berkan

@Wipqozn No, I didn't.

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan humblebundle.com/monthly

Glad I pinged you again then

You can just subscribe for one month and then cancel I believe, and get xcom 2 (plus others)

I know you've been waiting on a sale

Yuuki

@Wipqozn Ooo, I should do that.

Wipqozn

@Yuuki Yes, and then name all your characters after bridge people and watch us die

Jason Berkan

5:51 PM

That's a good price.

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki yeah i'll do medium well, but even when i wanted well done it should never rock on the plate

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan Yeah surprised to see it so low so soon

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn it was released in februari

Jason Berkan

So, subscribe for one month for XCOM 2 and some random games; unsubscribe if I don't like any of the random games. Sounds decent.

Yuuki

@GodEmperorDune You might as well just eat actual charcoal at that point.

Kevin van der Velden

5:53 PM

Or gift yourself one month

Wipqozn

@KevinvanderVelden jesus has it really been a year?

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn feb 5th, 2016

Wipqozn

@KevinvanderVelden Man time flies

Jason Berkan

See, 2016 wasn't so bad. XCOM 2 was released in it.

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki seriously

Q: How do you set a max ground height in a Minecraft customized map?

How do you create a Custom world map in Minecraft, where everything is just like a normal map, but, the maximum ground height is 64. It should end up being pretty flat, but digging under the ground will be exactly the same as a normal map. I don't want superflat, because (if I understand correct...

Kevin van der Velden
