Okay, that's weird. Portage & Main says so solar. 384 Main says doesn't.

Which...is the same location.

Chippies

@Frank for some reason whenever I check Portage & Main, it gives me one of two possible wattages

not quite sure what's going on, but sometimes it's the same as 384 main and sometimes it's more

Frank

@Chippies The site seems to have some faulty assumptions going on. And is buggy. Not sure I trust it.

Chippies

@Frank actually, it seems that it shows first result as you're typing in, which is Portage, in the states

if you actually click on search button or pick one from the queries, it shows proper results

you can use the actual calculator

Frank

@Chippies I did. It still doesn't seem right.

And the real calculator is even buggier.

Chippies

meh, I have no actual experience with solar and my understanding of it is dirt poor, so I can't help beyond this :P

maybe someday solar will become viable here and I will be able to afford it and it we will all live in a better place

Yuuki

18:15

@Chippies Well yeah if you move to a better place, solar will become viable.

Chippies

@Yuuki should move directly on the sun, where I could harness the solar fusion

might be a bit warm in the summer though

Minnesota has a neat calculator.

Q: Is there a way to remove the uniform from the Spy without "being spotted"?

I'm replaying the classic Commandos: Beyond the Call of Duty. While playing the game, on the second tutorial mission, on the very beginning, you can use the Spy to stun a soldier and get his uniform. With this done, you can get to where the other ally soldiers are, but when using a uniform, the ...

Any bridgians here play paladin?

Avery

You can pair it with your phone and add videos and control it remotely

Yuuki

@KevinvanderVelden Is this that FPS MOBA that has a lot of heroes that are similar to Overwatch heroes?

Avery

Yuuki

If so, I think I remember playing a few games on that.

Kevin van der Velden

18:49

@Yuuki it is an FPS MOBA, haven't played enough of it to know how much similarity it has to overwatch

Avery

Yuuki

@KevinvanderVelden It's not so much the gameplay as it is the characters and some of the character movesets.

Kevin van der Velden

Yeah I know, I have only played one hero in paladins =p

Gameplay is pretty different

StrixVaria

I played in one of the preview thingies for Paladins and at that time it was a game that didn't know what it wanted to be. It wasn't a MOBA, it wasn't an FPS, it wasn't much of anything.

I haven't paid any attention to it since because it had killed my interest.

Kevin van der Velden

The 3 games I've played of it it's generally not a MOBA, given that there's no PVE aspect but only PVP

Still fun though

Game feels quicker than overwatch though a match is longer (you score 2 points for winning a round or both get 1, then the map get resets, game last till 4 points)

Yuuki

Oh, I remember there was a gamemode with minions marching to a point although I could be wrong.

I have no clue how @Vemonus is on top of all of these questions so fast. It's like he already knows the question before it's posted.

Vemonus

@HazyKingdom which question?

James

I woke up this morning to be ungodly disappointed in Unity again

Chippies

@Yuuki are you thinking of that other game that was made by Borderlands devs?

James

19:15

as its 'Low level Networking' API is what I would consider a high level networking API and its high level is just a networking API.

Vemonus

@HazyKingdom oh, I got to that one through the First Post queue, so I guess I just happened to refresh at the right time

MBraedley

@Chippies Battleborn?

James

But it makes me worry about the mountains Ill have to move to do server-client networking with the game engine that isnt using Unity as a server.

Yuuki

@Chippies No, I never played that one.

James

le sigh

Chippies

19:16

@MBraedley yes, that one. I just found it in my steam library and was gonna say it :P

James

and I feel like crap today so I took a day off :)

Kevin van der Velden

This is made by hirez, of tribes and smite fame

MBraedley

@Chippies It would have been a decent game if not for Overwatch.

HazyKingdom

@Vemonus Lies, we all know you have a direct feed for review before the questions are posted. ;)

Chippies

@MBraedley eh, it served a different market, imho. Unfortunately that same market was taken by Overwatch anyway, so...

James

19:17

Yeah battleborn looked to be a little... 'too late to the party' ish.

Chippies

Battleborn was a lot more MOBA-like than Overwatch or Paladins

the 3 games were compared the whole time and Battleborn was actually the least similar to others

and it even had a pretty alright single player, although very unforgiving solo

I spent an hour+ on 2nd level and I ended up dying too much and had to start over. That was the last time I played it...

MBraedley

Battleborn is definitely more like Paladins than Overwatch. The biggest similarity between Overwatch and Battleborn is that they're both class based shooters.

Chippies

last I played Paladins (closed beta), it looked like a poor man's Overwatch

Yuuki

Aren't they all class-based shooters?

Chippies

which is a comparison many people made at the time

I've heard they figured out what the game should be and improved it since

MBraedley

19:21

Battleborn was definitely more MOBA like than Overwatch, but when looking at a follow-on to TF2, Overwatch was definitely the better option.

Yuuki

But as far as that goes, Battleborn is more similar to Epic Games's Paragon than anything else coming out at the same time.

Chippies

Battleborn was kinda like a moba/tower defense hybrid

so gameplay wise it was very different from the other two

MBraedley

And actually, I was thinking about Paragon, not Paladins. Haven't played either (although I did watch a video for Paragon).

Chippies

@MBraedley Paragon is very much a moba

it's actually marketed as such

Yuuki

It's basically the same as Smite.

Avery

Starcraft for free, I guess

Yuuki

Yes, you can.

murgatroid99

It's also just right there on the website:

James

@Avery You can basically download all of Blizzards games for free

But logging into them and playing them generally requires an account with access

murgatroid99

But original Starcraft + Brood War is actually free now

MBraedley

@murgatroid99 but not the remastered versions

Avery

19:50

@MBraedley well yeah, those aren't out yet

murgatroid99

@MBraedley no

Avery

in other news, bnet client runs perfectly on wine (2.6 staging)

murgatroid99

My understanding is that they've actually done a lot of work to provide de-facto support for wine

Avery

It's actually pretty crazy.

Even the fonts are fine and I don't have ttf-ms-fonts installed

ToxicFrog

I saw in the patch notes that they fixed the pallettized graphics issues that resulted in everyone tripping balls forever when running it in wine under 32-bit colour

James

19:55

Are they expanding support beyond Win/Mac or is this jsut Wine's doing?

ToxicFrog

@James no official linux support, but a few things in the patch notes look like they address common problems with running it under wine

Yuuki

"No, no pets, doggo is serious shopowner. pls human pls..."

@ToxicFrog you should open source the IRC bridge

@Avery I'm realizing that n++ is actually pretty garbage and it's mostly the lack of Ctrl+x eliminating a whole line

So we went from "We must close our borders because any foreigner could be an ISIS terrorist" to "We must close our borders because anyone could be smuggling North Korean nukes"

Yuuki

The real question is "who transports bales of marijuana"?

Avery

@DanmakuGrazer we must nuke our homeland so that NK doesn't do it first

Unionhawk

Every person crossing the southern border

Obviously

MBraedley

20:22

@MadScientist Yeah, but there's no way North Korea would be able to produce a useful nuke that size.

Avery

@MBraedley you'd never know

Yuuki

@Unionhawk I mean, one of the biggest reasons behind marijuana legalization (which is what I'm assuming the rep is also trying to speak out against) is that once it's legal, there's no economic incentive to smuggle marijuana over the border. Or even bring it legally.

Just grow it locally, it's a lot cheaper.

Ronan

And then where would people hide their nukes?

Unionhawk

BUT GOOD PEOPLE DONT SMOKE MARAJUANA ASK JEFFERSON BEAUREGARD

Also the fact that that is his real name rules so much

Yuuki

@Ronan You can smuggle little nuclear seeds over the border and grow them in your closet.
