@Yuuki I usually tend to go with the former
because there's nothing wrong with me, right?
I'm totally perfect
@Yuuki you're trying to skip a post?
@badp What's a distaction?
Is it a distant action?
If you're using an account then you can hide it using API but there's probably a better way
@Avery No, I'm trying to basically create a feed of posts from a subreddit.
17:02
I'm grabbing them fine but I now want to implement a "grab things posted after this post" thing.
Ah. I don't have that much info about that. Sorry :/
I'd prefer to do this by post id, but it's looking like I'll need to grab the whole thing and filter on date.
I believe that there's a way to do with post id
but reddit api documentation isn't the best
@MBraedley the sock ruse
Never mind, I think I did it.
I forgot Option #3: I am a complete idiot.
I queried /r/GameDeals/news?parametersinstead of /r/GameDeals/new?parameters.
:|
Never forget Option #3, kids.
17:06
@Yuuki I think it took me too long to figure out the difference
17:19
CEO of @United says "I apologize for having to re-accommodate these customers." https://t.co/5R38GAGr9c
Hahahahahaha what
That's not what reaccommodation is
@Unionhawk it is.
@jaketapper @united They are VERY accommodating! The doctor didn't even have to use his own legs to get off the plane!
makes sense. Always fly united!
@Unionhawk I only read some parts of the story, but am I understanding it right that he's referring to having your face smashed into the armrest as "re-accomodation"?
I believe having your face smashed into an armrest so someone else can take your seat. But yes.
Where the person getting the seat is accommodated.
Okay, wrote a Python script to get deals, now to write a Python script to post them to chat.
pls no
can you make it happen as an RSS feed?
17:30
@badp I tried, it does it once and then never posts them again.
In fact, I tried it multiple times. Reddit's RSS feeds seem borked.
hrm
badp has made a change to the feeds posted into this room
I'll give it a try with this other feed but
The chat feeds seem to be pretty strict about RSS validation. I've had similar issues trying to get a feed from magic.wizards.com in the BCG chat
I kinda don't like what chat bots do to rooms
17:33
It's less a bot and more of a "I can't get feeds to work, so here's a 'bot' workaround".
chat feeds keep track of things they've already posted so they never post the same thing twice. maybe it's the latter bit that is causing issues
I don't plan on adding any sort of interaction with it.
what if you make it as a server and it makes the output as rss
that's what I was thinking, yeah.
besides ITAD already offers deal feeds. I'd just assume such a feed will be quite... high in volume
1) How is that any different from what I'm doing? B) I can always fine-tune frequency of posts.
And I can always filter out posts based on which store is doing the deal, which helps reduce frequency of posts.
17:36
For one thing, you probably can't get arbitrary web content one-boxed except by using the Feeds system
oneboxes might be overkill
Yeah, oneboxing isn't a big concern for me. My plan is just text links.
at any rate the ITAD feed isn't showing up at all. Maybe I need to be more patient
@Yuuki is this bot going to be posting as you or as its own account?
hint: you want the latter
Well, I guess I want the latter it seems.
But I'll be testing it in Sandbox under my own name while I figure this posting thing out.
are you just going to be posting everything that ever gets posted in /r/GameDeals or...
17:39
As it is, yes.
badp has made a change to the feeds posted into this room
shit I almost used the bullshit garbage super annoying ticker feeds system

All of those just link to the main page of the website
@Avery this is better than the garbage ticker feed
Sure
@murgatroid99 yeah... removing the feed
well I guess I'll let it post a second time
or not
no
badp has stopped a feed from being posted into this room

Q: Is it possible to have multiple custom radio channels in GTA:San Andreas?

EricVersion of the game is PC, downgraded to 1.0 Instead of just the one custom radio channel the game has, is it possible to make multiple custom radio channels, so I could have different genres of custom music?

17:53
So how's your community RPG night thing going so far?
We killed a bunch of goblins!
And @Wipqozn and @KevinvanderVelden and @RedRiderX nearly died!
Stupid goblins hitting me for nearly twice my HP
Wasn't that the dogs?
I 'unno, doglobin
Alternatively warg
Shhhhh
18:06
Homebrew or a premade module?
Homebrew.
@Yuuki also we taught idiots how to not let their barn burn down
(or stable, but barn burn sounded cooler)
I'm starting to wonder whether I should switch to full-time two-hander, but that +2 to AC from the shield...
crazy rain right meow
@KevinvanderVelden It was supposed to be less idiots, and more didn't care until people started yelling at them to do something.
18:09
I still vote they're idiots
That's fair.
HELLO IT IS ON FIRE AND YOUR HOUSE IS ALSO MADE OF THINGS THAT ARE FLAMMABLE
Maybe I'll stick with the shield until I get better armor or something.
And then full-time two-hander.

Q: Showing my CS 1.6 server in server list

kodmanyaghaI buy CS 1.6 from Steam. Downloaded game and opened. Clicked to "Find Servers" and listing some servers here. I want to list my server here. I created a CS 1.6 server in my cloud server and this is low ping, fast server. How to show my server on all CS 1.6 game server list?

Q: What days will I be able to read on the train?

VemonusSome days, I am able to find a seat on the train and get some reading done. Unfortunately, there have been a few days where I didn't happen to have any unfinished books on me and the time was wasted. I assume that these days are static and everyone is able to read on the train on specific days of...

18:27
@BlueBarren same here. It was sunny when I left the Google office about 40 min ago and now it is like all the rain forever. And I don't have an umbrella and I have to walk from this coffee shop to my massage appointment.
@Ash it looks like it just stopped. Seemed to be flash rain
I don't know if flash rain is an actual term but I think it's applicable
user15026
Here it is stopping for a bit then goes again
18:47
@Ash < gooooooogle >
</google>
(not closing HTML tags freaks me out ok)
@Unionhawk Well then you should at least close them properly.
</ gooooooogle >
<br></br>
apparently the IRS is going to file a lawsuit against me. I would not have known this if a friendly telemarketer hadnt told me
@Dragonrage I read the first sentence and was like "oh no" and read the second and was like "oh lol"
18:52
yea, i reported them already, so hopefully someone else who doesnt know how irs scams work doesnt fall for it
The IRS sent me a nice letter saying "wtf did you really have 5k in withheld income? Send us your documents" which was fun
The funniest part is the reply to address was "internal revenue service, city"
No street address, I assume to prevent "internal revenue service, some dude's house, city"
that'd probably be spotted though
Prob
That'd probably get a "return to sender: you are a moron" from the postal service
or rather get them fbi instead of the documents they scammed
That's true
18:57
OH WAIT, that's the sender's part. Yeah. Probably both (or rather it'd be seized by FBI for the investigation).
Hopefully my return goes through soon
Because I'd really like to boost my loan account with suddenly multiple thousand dollars

Q: What damage type are "extra" damage sources?

Mage XyIn Terraria, there are five different "types" of damage (similar to elemental damage in other games). These types are melee, ranged, magic, summon, and throwing damage. Various armors buffs the total damage output of a certain damage type - this is good if you're trying to build a character that ...

<hr>
Where is your god now @Unionhawk. It is a syntax error to close this tag!
This is true and something I failed to consider
@BlueBarren does this include anything about not having 3 hour delays?
@Dragonrage what would a seating plan have to do with delays...?
idk, but based on my experiences with united, i dont fly with them if at all possible
I haven't flown in years and I don't even remember who it was with
every time i have flown with united, ive had at least a 2 hour delay
19:16
Frontier, Southwest, and Allegiant ftw
including one time where we sat on the runway for 2 hours after we landed
@Unionhawk virgin america is quite nice as well
i havent flown frontier or allegiant though
They don't fly near me afaik
Frontier and Allegiant are two you have to be careful with
Like, travel hacker careful
They charge for carry on bags
But their fares are really low
virgin america is a bit more spacious inside, and their seats are very comfortable
also, why are red eye flights more expensive than evening flights?
Like I think I can fly from here to DC for like 80 round trip on Allegiant with no bags or only laptop bag
thats pretty good.
it costs me like 250-300 for a round trip to texas on most any airline that flies near me

Q: Can I pet dogs?

troylatroyIn Zelda Breath of the Wild you find dogs around stables and other various locations and when you feed them, they bring you to a chest. So I want to show my appreciation for this by petting it. How does he know that he is a good boy if I can't pet him?

@Lazers2.0 This deserves an upvote just for this "How does he know that he is a good boy if I can't pet him? "
Hmm... the update function on my scraper just borked.
19:39
Okay, that's fixed, now to figure out how to actually send the message again.
It's not liking my parsing.
What are you building?
@ToxicFrog our doom
so run, run while you still can
Sw33t.
@ToxicFrog RSS feed is not playing nicely so I'm building a bot to basically do the same thing.
19:45
See? He's building an AI and we all know AI will be our downfall
@Yuuki is the bringer of doom
welp
drawn to death is TERRIBAD D:L
I want that hour back :/
user15026
@ToxicFrog waves at
user15026
Time to go home and hopefully get less wet this time.
@BlueBarren I'm guessing the next one says "Metroid's Helmet"
19:57
@Yuuki When you say two hander, are you considering a 2d6 damage output kind of two hander?
@murgatroid99 naah, it says potato
@MadMAxJr Yes.
The tradeoff to consider is how much armor are you considering losing for how much 'expected' damage. median of a d6 is 3.5 (since it is not a zero based index, but a 1 based index), so 2d6 medians at 7. A shield is what, one or two AC?
2.
Right now my AC is 16 without and 18 with shield.
Oof. That's sort of a pivotal AC range too.
For an optimized monster at roughly level 1 you can expect a solo monster of equal level to have between +3 to +5 to hit (depending on special attacks it may have or conditionals)
So that's the difference between moderate protection and good protection
20:06
Yeah, I guess wait until I get better armor before switching to a twohander full-time.
But for a one hander, you'd be looking at a longsword, which is.... a d8?
@Ash Oh, did you get caught in that downpour?
For now, I've been swapping between one-handed and two-handed on my longsword as I feel necessary.
Median 4. Not bad, but not great.
er, median 4.5
user15026
20:08
@ToxicFrog I sure did but I just used it as an excuse to duck into Matter of Taste and get some gelato
2 days ago, by Fluttershy
Wow. Drawn to Death is one of the shittiest games I've played in a long time, I think.
I tried to warn people!
They just wouldn't listen
No-one listens to Zathras.

Q: What's up with this little duck?

Anthony MastreanI only encounter this duck on the final (scripted) stage where you defeat the devil. It doesn't seem to do anything interesting when swapped. Is it the true antagonist of the game or something or just flavor?

0
Q: Does lighting torches do anything useful?

Anthony MastreanI don't see any gold gained, no points increased, nothing! I'm not sure, but I don't recall any related achievements, either.

@KevinvanderVelden ACtually that reminds me, if you're going to be a melee wizard with your shocking grasp you should really prepare mage armor and just cast it during the first battle of every day
So I've noticed!
Next level I can learn it IIRC =p
Problem is I only have 2 spell slots and no other ranged weapon
Cantrips do respectable damage in 5e.
1d8s and such instead of 3.5e's 1d3s and 1d4s.
Okay, I think I figured it out.
This is pretty much how I imagine every Canadian
Okay, the posting feature works fine in Sandbox.
20:37
@Sterno I resent represent that comment! (Not really)
So there's a few ways I can do this. The one that pops up chiefly in my mind is to set up a shell script to repeat the scripts I wrote every <duration>, likely 1 hour.
20:56
(how many posts do you fetch? what is a normal posting frequency? are you SURE you want to post ALL the things?)
Over the past few hours of testing, I've fetched maybe one or two posts at once each time tops.
I'd recommend posting everything at a set point everyday
Looking at the subreddit, posting frequency seems to be at roughly 2 or 3 per hour.
@Avery That would take up a bigger chunk of space at once than the same number of posts scattered throughout the day.
It's far more disruptive.
oh snap
I forgot that multiline markdown doesn't work on stackchat
Oh hey, doing list.extend with a generator working on the same list is an infinite loop
21:03
Okay, gonna continue testing this and I'll give it a trial run over the weekend.
21:22
@Avery it doesn't work on Snapchat either
Tbf snapchat lacks md in general
and i only ever post comic sans stuff I spot irl so

Q: how much space does call of duty advanced warfare for ps3

ahmedhow much space does call of duty advanced warfare takeup for ps3.also is it a fun game.Please help i really want to know.

@Avery Its a font people use. It's not the worst thing ever. Heck, for some people it's easier to read than a lot of other things. I don't get why it gets so much hate.
@Ash it's an unprofessional font used in tons of professional contexts and has basically earned meme status
i know that it's actually rated a good font for dyslexia
At some point, you have to wonder, what defines a professional/unprofessional font?
user15026
@Avery I understand that. I just think it's frustrating that people keep doing the meme stuff.
user15026
@Yuuki this too.
Typography is just such an interesting field, partly due to people's vehement feelings about it.
21:48
@Yuuki intentions are one thing
@Avery Whose intentions though?
the font was made for an interactive comic book game or smth by microsoft
original designer's, I'd say
So Papyrus should be used for historical texts then?
Papyrus is the official script of humorous skeletons.
And Times New Roman should only be used on physical paper?
21:51
I think the takeaway here is that if it's readable, you're fine. This is all much ado about nothing.
No, it's only for decedents of the Roman empire.
And specifically only by the Times newspaper (although they don't use it anymore).
Everybody knows the best font is whatever the bootstrap default is
I think it's Arial or sans serif
@Unionhawk I suspect this is what I'm using, not having defined a specific font for my ASP.NET MVC project.
nah, best font is wingdings
21:54
@Unionhawk Sans serif is a typeface class, not a particular typeface
@Frank if it's readable and properly kemed it's fine
@murgatroid99 well yes but bootstrap.css probably defines both just in case
@KevinvanderVelden I see what you did there.
Also, I hate you.
You're welcome
Every application that lets me, I will use fixedsys.
Good enough for DOS, good enough for me.
21:56
And with that, it's time to go build another laser ski.
I dislike Comic Sans because it has too many not-quite-straight lines, and it's all a little misaligned. It's kind of jarring

Q: How can I confine my pet rock mole?

Christopher BrunsI sort of like my pet rock mole because she chews up all the dungeon levels. But I don't like the way she keeps burrowing toward my stash area when I am organizing things. Is there some way to keep my pet rock mole confined to an area, while still keeping her on the same dungeon level as me?

@badp That's weird. You should probably submit a bug report
as soon as I can find the button to do so

Q: Linking Multiple Minecraft Worlds Together

TetrisSmasherIs there a way for me to be able to access one Minecraft world from another (Like using a portal)? I use Minecraft 1.10.2.

23:00
PEPSI: We made the biggest PR blunder of any major company this year. UNITED: Hold my beer.
3
@GodEmperorDune The year is still young. There's room for plenty more blunders.
@RedRiderX true facts
@GodEmperorDune "united: leggings something something, also united:" is pretty good too
@Unionhawk oh i thought the leggings was delta
Nup
United has had a bad 2 weeks
But like, "literally removing someone who has already boarded" is really shitty
23:14
especially with beatings
i don't think "knock the customer around a bit" is a winning policy
I mean that's more an artifact of "we told the police to get this guy off our plane"
you're only allowed to tell people to get off your plane if you are harrison ford
23:31
Honestly, this probably won't stop me from flying United.
user15026
@RedRiderX that's a little terrifying.
The closest airport to my parents' house is a United hub, so it's the best way to get a direct flight to see them

Q: Is the Bestiary shared between multiple games?

GalabycaIs the Bestiary shared between multiple games? Let's say I start a new game later, will all the data from my previous game stay? This is mainly for the achievement.

What happened to Studoku?
Finally got around to taking my transport kits out of their boxes and displaying them in my house again.

@Frank that's unfortunate
Good thing there's a big tough robot with shields and a giant sword to protect you.
@Frank this the one you were attaching those third party skis and backpack or a different one?
@Memor-X Different one. Finished this guy about a year and a half ago.
He's been in transport boxes for the majority of that; it's been one of my convention showpieces.
@Frank i'm sure @ash is holding it down as well
with a fearsome hug gun
user15026
You betcha.
23:48
Finally emptied out all my transport boxes; all my kits are out, and on display.
