@Sterno WHY WOULD YOU REMIND MEOF THIS

OH GOD @Sterno YOU'RE TERRIBLE

Well I need to star this so other suffers too

Yuuki

If anything, I think @Sterno should be sentenced to two years in prison minimum for making us all depressed for the rest of the day.

Wipqozn

I can ban him for 1 year. That's the best I could do.

I should rewatch No Country for Old Men

Such a good movie

that's what this conversation reminded me of

Sterno

Why did my name make you think of that movie? !!

Dragonrage

No Country For Old Men, does that mean @Stern'old isn't allowed there?

MadMAxJr

Sterno is not a controlled substance.

It's a hazard and toxic, but not prohibited.

Sterno

22:06

Man I wish I could stop reading this stupid article for the 10th time

Wipqozn

@Sterno I was thinking about some lame joke about the bridge falling into anarchy if you left, and that made me think of that movie

oh hey it's cheap too

only $10

Maybe I'll buy Fargo too

Sterno

Just watch the TV series instead

Wipqozn

@Sterno Is it any good?

I just assumed it would be terrible and didn't watch it

I was, of course, basing that on absolutely nothing

Dragonrage

@Wipqozn it cant be any worse than you

cc @Wipqozn on that burn

Wipqozn

also wow

There are a lot of fake places selling fidget cubes which aren't real

some huge scam by the looks of it

Dragonrage

22:16

thats messed up

MadMAxJr

My fidget cube totally isn't a bubble wrapped set of dice.

Dragonrage

honestly, silly putty makes a pretty good fidget cube substitute

Yuuki

@Dragonrage Or is a fidget cube a pretty good silly putty substitute?

i had to google what a fidget cube is....no idea what it's for. it's like a tiny version of Bop It!

badp

MAKE U THINK

man we're thinking so much today

Dragonrage

@Yuuki well played

Yuuki

@Memor-X Or is Bop It! a big version of a fidget cube?

You know what it is.

Memor-X

@Yuuki no because Bop It! came out first

Yuuki

@Memor-X Or did it?!

Q: Non magical elemental damage in Skyrim

Is there any source of elemental damage that is not magical damage in skyrim? In other words, is there any fire/frost/shock damage that is not affected by resist magic in skyrim? Is burning damage magical damage? I would like to extend this question to poison as well; however, I believe most p...

skyrim

Memor-X

@Yuuki yes, quite sure Bop It! came out first because i remember ads for it predating August 31st 2016 (when the kickstarter funding began), in fact wikipedia says it come out 1996

unless you have a time machine and all the shit that's been going on is because you screwed up the timeline

Yuuki

22:34

@Memor-X That's just what the government wants you to think!

@Memor-X That's one thing that bothers me about time travel stories. This idea of the timeline being screwed up or a "prime timeline".

“...some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.”

Wipqozn

@Sterno So madhouse is a heck of a lot harder I dare say. Ammo and chem packs are a lot more sparse. Enemies deal and take more amage. And more enemies.

In Skyrim's script code:

Memor-X

@Yuuki i like the comment

badp

that's why perl has if and unless

Yuuki

@Memor-X Now we just need !IsEnabled() somewhere in the code.

badp

I've become kind of a fan of writing code like

sub are_you_fucked {
return false unless year == 2016;
return false unless election_year == 2016;
return false if country == "at";
return true;
}

Memor-X

@Yuuki IsDisabledBool()

badp

reads pretty naturally.

you can step with a debugger to know which check triggered the result.

the logic is easy to change without messing with parentheses and operator precedence.

there are no double negatives.

unless you want them.

Memor-X

@badp what country is at?

badp

austria

Memor-X

@badp what happened there last year?

badp

they had an election and the populist candidate lost, then appealed, and the election happened again, and the populist candidate again lost.

AFAIK

yes.

Memor-X

@Yuuki reason why i use Selenium not to create unit testing but to utilize php loops and arrays to make repeated inputs with varying combinations of input

allows me to pass the buck on my failures as a programer to end users being dumb

Q: Will a dragon head drop if you kill the dragon with a charged creeper?

If I get a charged creeper to the End, and kill the ender dragon with it, will a dragon head drop, or will I have to find an end ship?

23:07

@Lazers2.0 my god the chances of that working is greater than the number of snowmen needed to fight and kill and enderdragon

and i mean getting a charged creeper though the portal and explode at the right time

Q: Melrune's Razor effect on Player in Skyrim

If an NPC is made to use melrune's razor on the player, does it have a chance to instantly kill the player? Does magic resistance affect the chance? How does magic resistance interact with Melrune's razor in general?

Q: What does "one hit deaths" actually mean?

After completing my latest game, I noticed the "one shot deaths" stat at the end. Since it was right below "one shot kills" I assumed that it was the number of my soldiers that were one-hit-killed by enemies. However, I had only lost 4 soldiers: 3 in the tutorial mission (I accidentally had it o...
