I probably need to side with team Flight
IIRC the reservoir stuff were voluntary evacuations, though, well, better safe than sorry.
@MadMAxJr Boooo
@Yuuki hopefully the city compensates your neighborhood for what it did
Well, evacuation or not, we still got two or three feet of water in our house that's only there because the city decided to put it there right away.
whichever team is less popular will get more conflict fights.
18:02
Yep that is awful
Pretty sure pairings against your own team don't count for much.
Rather than space it out over a longer period at the risk of the dams breaking. Again, an understandable choice. And one that I would make myself.
@Yuuki :(
I dunno why the reservoirs don't have some sort of direct access to the sea for it's overflows
The bayou is the direct access.
18:03
Oh
Houston is about an hour or more inland.
HRDQ schedeul up in pin and also: gamesdonequick.com/schedule
Yeah, it was just a terrible situation. They made the best choice they could, it just sucks that terrible things were going to happen either way.
I suppose it changes little for you since you'd have been flooded anyway :/
I also suppose your neighbourhood will get some amount of additional aid from those who made the call?
18:12
I'm really happy that they didn't throw "free unlimited private repos" thing away
(And those that already have an account get free silver pack for 12 months apparently.)
we recently got gitlab at work
gitlab is quite neat
the UI isn't great but it has quite a bit more features than github
and oh god is it better than bitbucket
github. gitlab. gitcab. gitsad. gitmad.
it's... that CI thing could be really powerful but it'll be a while before it does me any good :C
There's really not much you make from a hotel room with only a coffeemaker, huh?
18:17
@Yuuki you can watch HRDQ
writing CI configs is a pain but it works well when you write a proper one
I hope you like Mega Man
@badp that'd be kinda ironic
I used gitlab CI before and it's really neat.
@Avery what, it's being put up just for @Yuuki. And the millions of people in his general neighbourhood
@badp yeah
Guess it can be classified as emotional relief.
18:23
@Avery did they change anything on free tier?
@GodEmperorDune dunno, but they're adding new tiers but keeping free unlimited priv repos and shared CI so yeah, that's cool and is pretty much all I care about.
@Avery yeah same
It'd be cool if gitlab added equivalent of releases though
I miss being able to just push builds to releases through gitlab ci like I did with travisci and github
I mean I could theoretically set up a passworded directory or smth and just make it copy binaries there after build, but meh, that sounds unpractical, especially for corps
I'm just flabbergasted they offer any CI minutes to the free tier
when you can just install the runner on your machine
gotta force people to use containers I guess
I mean I never used shared gitlab CI
i do remember having problems with it though.
I think the shared runners came with some compilers and didn't like it when I installed other stuff but I really don't remember
18:42
I've been abandoned, I'm all alone now

Q: ArmorDropChances Data Tag below 0.1?

NekromanserIm messing around with armor drop chances for a map im creating and I have yet to find out any information on the web explaining this: Does the minecraft binary recognize a value for armordropchances below 0.1f? I have enemies that are dropping armour and it is dropping way too often considering ...

18:59
@Ronan waves
I meant in my new apartment, I've been left here with all my stuff and flatpack furniture
But you have internet.
And with the internet, it's harder to be alone.
Yes I made sure I already have internet before I moved in
well first order of business is dinner I suppose
or sleeping
but sleeping can come after videogames
priorities, man.
Yeah I'm making pizza, then I'm going to make my bed, then sleep
19:04
Good priorities.
Ah, welcome to your new home?
rental or purchase?
@Ronan are you starting at your job on next monday? If so, uh, congrats :)
(IIRC you said that you were moving right before starting so)
@badp Ummm....
@Avery Yeah I'm starting on monday
nice!
Also no pizza I guess, because my over just set of the fire alarm
19:09
Whoops.
Yeah I'm not sure if I had it on the wrong setting or something, but I let it warm up, opened the door and then just smoke
Possibly I left the grill on with the door shut
was anything in the oven?
No, it was just pre-heating
it shouldn't be able to produce any smoke if it has nothing to burn
Might be burning off residue or oven cleaner from the previous tenant.
19:12
@MadMAxJr Ooh maybe that's it
I lost $30 on my security deposit because I didn't quite use the oven cleaner correctly.
The windows are open, I'll wait for it to clear and then try again
Otherwise you may have to meet a neighbor and share that pizza. >_>
@Ronan interesting
I hope you find out soon!
19:17
@badp OH! For some reason I thought you were talking about the pizza
It's rental
@Ronan Why would you rent a pizza?
rental, but with your own furniture!
@Arperum maybe you're only eating the left half
@badp Some of my own furniture, there's some here already
@Arperum Hence my confusion
still
one stop closer to homeownershipnessitude
@Arperum well obviously he ate too much avocado sandwich
he's doomed to renting pizzas for like now
19:22
Rent-to-own pizzas.
user15026
Hm, I mostly wonder how you'd return the rented pizza.
Must return a similar pizza of equal or greater value.
It not perfect system
You'll have to check the rules at your local food library.
ah my favourite
code that indents by 4 spaces
dedents by 2 spaces
and somehow looks visually balanced
19:32
@Ash they'd really rather you don't
@badp wait how does that even work
@GodEmperorDune you forget to indent half the time
@badp your IDE of choice doesn't have an auto formatter to fix that?
@badp Wouldn't that be outdents
@GodEmperorDune perl
19:33
@badp hahahahahaha
there are perl beautifiers
sorry for your loss @badp
how is that perl 6 coming?
perl 6 is a different language altogether
completely different
like java and javascript
except one doesn't run on browsers I guess
so like java and node.js
except you can share much less code
@badp I assume they translate perl to a different, saner language?
@MadScientist AHAHAHAHAHAHA nothing can parse perl
19:36
so after making fun of the python 2/python3 split, the perl community will have perl5/perl6 but even less cross compatibility?
i love it
there is a perl parser interface thing in perl that attempts to parse perl but it's only really useful to write linters with
and maybe reindenters
speaking of
sublimelinter
do the thing pls
19:47
yay, rise of the tomb raider is in the humble monthly
i'm still kicking myself for not getting xcom2 when it was only $12
(unrelated) hey it's a DS9 ep about ableism, fingers crossed they don't mess this up
urgh this is cringeworthy so far
@GodEmperorDune ahahahahahahahahah :this_pear:
20:05
yep
also why would a species that evolves in very low gravity still be in a humanoid shape?
#include <spherical_cows.txt>
yeah this ep is all kinds of cringey

Q: How can a warrior take an enemy city?

Daniel WilliamsI have a warrior standing next to a young small enemy city. How can I attack it? I do not see any options to attack.

Q: What is the D.A. Garden?

Chase SandmannIn this question on Sonic Mania, it says that you'll unlock something called the "D.A. Garden" if you get a certain number of medals from the blue sphere mini-game. What is that and is there a reason behind the name?

and now they're using science to cure the disability
@TimStone @Ronan You guys bonded and are slowly becoming bff
Also soldier bonds is a really cool idea
20:20
Hahah, excellent
And we're not dead!
Yet!
Looks like level 1 allows you to give motivational speech to grant another action
@TimStone @Fluttershy is the only one to die. Looks like @Fluttershy was just really bad at staying alive.
@Wipqozn missed opportunity for a "friendship ended with X" meme
@Wipqozn who else is in the crew?
Also @Sterno has more kills than the rest of the squad combined. I hooked him up with a free reloader, on his shotgun, and due to how lost work he just completely destroyed them on the mission I just did
@GodEmperorDune The three I just mentioned, and also @MBraedley (who's a kick ass stealth sniper), @Yuuki, @fredley (training him first), and I just rescued @SaintWacko
There also seems to be some sort of exhaustion system
Quite a few folks are Tired
Man, I really need to get this expansion
There's seems to be a lot of cool stuff
@Wipqozn Also yay!
why do turkish jobs suck this much
let alone the degree and conscription requirements, there are stuff that don't make sense in nearly every listing
this one calls bootstrap a programming language.
20:27
@Avery this is most US jobs too
i mean we don't have conscription requirements but everything else
oh ffs
this job requires "professional attire"
@Avery nice of them to mention it up front
Are all of his titles "I will now talk about x for over y minutes"
Only for discussion topics
20:34
Yes, I don't think that's This is fine material as it's gaming not politics or whatever
@Avery that's not unreasonable (depending on what they mean exactly)
Well time for the B-Team to step up
But a TL;DR;. Person working on shadow of war dies during development (cancer). They make a tribute to said person. It is released as DLC with in big bright letters "We'll donate 3.50$ for each purchase (5$) to the family of person"... and when you look at the small letters it says "except for a few states in america and oh yeah the rest of the world"
@SaintWacko You were escorting a scientist, got shot in the face, so XCOM got called in to save you and the scientist.
@MadScientist well from my interpretation they're expecting me to look like a wall street broker
20:36
@DanmakuGrazer IT's gaming related, so no
TB's point is: Memoralizing him: Great. Releasing it as DLC: Uuh weird. Donating the DLC money to the family: Great. Tiny letters that aren't obvious: Scummy
@Avery might be excessive, but also not unreasonable in certain domains or if you have direct customer contact
it's a school. Looking for someone do deal with their site. No direct customer contact.
@Avery You can thank HR departments for that.
@Jmwhitney7 It has been submitted :)
user15026
20:39
@Avery All my call centre jobs have required business casual even tho I was just literally on the phone all day never seeing anyone but other employees
@Avery If it only says "professional attire" I wouldn't immediately jump to "dress in a suit". Also, just because a job description says something is required doesn't mean it is. Companies will always ask for more than they need, and more importantly, HR departments love adding in things to every resume or rearranging it (and making mistakes when the ydo it)
Stardew Valley, that is. And to Nintendo for Switch review.
sigh
@Avery if turkey is anything like the US, better dress code usually means bigger salary
I'm leaving the typo there for irony
user15026
20:40
@GodEmperorDune hahahah what no
user15026
Not always
user15026
not in support roles
@GodEmperorDune this is like a 10k/y job probably so
no i can't speak for support roles
user15026
(sorry, my cynical self who has done too much customer support stuff is just having a day)
20:40
still that's nice by turkish standards
user15026
customer support stuff likes to set weird rules about attire and everything they can more often than not even when it's not logical and still pay you as little as possible
but some of the top consulting jobs are like that
oracle, SAP, that kind of stuff
but still they also need conscription and I'd much rather not talk deeply about how I'll not need to go to conscription because I don't think that with the cultural acceptance here it'd be nice
user15026
and dress codes are HUGE in lower paying jobs
@Avery Do you think you could ask them to try more?
20:42
@Yuuki hue
user15026
@Yuuki facedesk
user15026
Sorry for snapping, @GodEmperorDune
user15026
That wasn't fair
no worries
like even if I say stuff like "oh my eyes are too bad so I'll not be able to attend" some people get crazy because serving country is veeeery important and disqualified
20:44
@Avery the professional attire thing specifically is probably something HR adds to every single resume, even if it doesn't apply to that position. Some departments/employees are allowed to be more lax with the dresscode than others (my company for example is officially business casual, but department managers can set whatever dress code they want, which basically means salesmen dress up and everyone else wears t-shirt).
you are correct, i forgot about the weird and old fashioned thing where support staff needs to wear uniforms and junk like that
that's my tech industry and white dude bias showing
@Avery Also universal dress codes for all employees is often just a case of trying to be fair to everyone. aka if jim from sales needs to dress up because he might meet with a client, then they requiried Alice from development to as well just so Jim doesn't feel like Alice is getting special treatment.
@Wipqozn that's also foolish
@GodEmperorDune oh I agree, but it's usually one of those solutions HR uses to make their jobs easier
if you are a mechanic or technician dealing with crawlspaces, it's silly to require you to wear business formal
20:46
sets figurative fire to HR
HR departments are both good and bad
user15026
Heck, my work is moving to more of a "uniform" (basicaly company shirts with whatever bottoms) due to issues with clients and it applies to everyone even though I rarely if ever speak to cusotmers face to face on a not-Saturady
@Ash ugh that is frustrating
user15026
Don't set fire to HR, they're useful in a lot of ways
On one hand they can be really fucking annoying, but on the other hand they can help you deal with issues at work (ranging from something simple like you coworker keeps blasting music to something super wtf contact the police sexual harrasment). ASsuming the HR department isn't crap anyways.
20:47
yeah good HR is very important
user15026
@GodEmperorDune oh you're telling me. (sorry this is a major sore point with me)
especially someone that can call out racism/sexism stuff outside the chain of command
@GodEmperorDune yeah another good example
@Ash all of those ways are for the employers and not the employees though
user15026
@KevinvanderVelden nah, some of what tehy do is useful to me
20:49
@KevinvanderVelden sometimes there can be a happy balance
The thing is, a good HR department gives you a place to make an anonymous complaint, and then let someone else solve the problem
bad HR is horrific though
@GodEmperorDune this. If it's good for the employee it's basically because happy employees is good for business =p
HR's first job is protecting the company
user15026
Well, yes, but every decsion a company makes ever considers company first because duh
If your boss is strolling around making racist comments then that's not something you really want to bring up them yourself. It's usually going to end poorly. Instead report it to HR, and they'll deal with it (again, assuming the HR department isn't shit)
20:50
HR here is usually dysfunctional like pretty much always siding with management
@Wipqozn yeah my wife's old company would forward the email complaint directly to the person you were complaining about. Not even tried to anonymize it. Resulting retaliation was predictable
@GodEmperorDune That's literally the worst way to do HR
Like that's not even an HR department
@Wipqozn yes
it's an email forwarding rule

Q: Minecraft "If you wish to use IP forwarding, please enable it in your BungeeCord config as well!" problem

HeyItzAxelI have a Minecraft 1.12.1 BungeeCord server and I cannot connect because it says "If you wish to use IP forwarding, please enable it in your BungeeCord config as well!" or something like that. ip_forward in the bungeecord configuration is set to true, aswell as bungeecord is set to true in spigot...

You can see me right in the beginning!
Omg you're right
Also inb4-ed but not starlisted so meh:
7 hours ago, by Kevin van der Velden
So this is (currently) a thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXwb_7DdZeQ&feature=push-lsb&attr_tag=Jd5Ws4VL6B‌​M8YPfi-6
So some alien just dazed @fredley then read his mind
I'm sure that won't somehow come back to bite me in the ass
oh also I got @spugsley killed
I tossed her out into the open in order to get a free shot on an enemy
@Wipqozn To be fair, I don't know if there's much in @fredley's mind
21:03
I can't even deflect blame on that one
@Wipqozn Brutal
@Wipqozn wow, i never risk my soldiers like that
@Wipqozn My hair doesn't look like that anymore btw
Well @fredley is probably dead
@Ronan IT's too late
@GodEmperorDune That's because you don't understand SACRAFICE
@Wipqozn No haircuts in XCOM?
21:09
Also she was just a rookie
@Ronan nah man, it's a war
Fair
Assuming this alien swipes at @fredley I really hope he's good at dodging
@Ronan The latest photo I see for you on facebook suggest it does still look like that, so yeah, NEVER CHANGING
and by "like that" I mean "it's long"
Holy crap @Yuuki
You missed a 92% hit chance
Why do you hate your friends to die
also @fredley died
@SaintWacko and Rebecca Black hit their less than 70% shots though
but now rebecca is panicked
This is why you guys are the B-Team
MISSED
THE BULLET LITERALLY WENT THROUGH THE ALIEN
I gotta say, I do wish firaxis made sure the animatiopns were more accurate
but then again it's also hilarious
HOLY SNAP
So this is new
man I wish I was recording that
A mimic just ran under the platform @Yuuki was on. smashed it, and he went flying into a pole and died
@Wipqozn It’s more like this now I guess
21:18
I ran @Yuuki away to save the poor boy. I should have just went with him gut instict and had him fire at point blank range and then maybe die.
Wait. Mirror that image
Oh god zombies
THIS IS GOING HORRIBLY
(that's xcom baby)
> this is the server
> server!
Well not meeting my rescue the innocent goal on this one
> waiter (server because nice pun) drops by, pours beer
nice
21:21
OH GOD @SaintWacko WAS MIND CONTROLLED
@Wipqozn OH GOD NO
and rebecca black is dead
GAME OVER MAN, GAME OVER
Jesus that went into the shitter quickly
In retrospect I regret tossing away @spugsley life
Ironman?
Wait, why did you toss away @spugsley's life?
SHE COULD HAVE PUNCHED SO MANY BABIES
Also it makes me sad that her name no longer auto-completes :(

Q: How do I change my grip in Arms?

LyricsBotIn the "Help" tab of Arms, you can look at the controls for several grips, so this has made me wonder how to change my grip. The game never tells you how to change the grip and in the tutorial, the grip is always the thumbs-up grip.

21:26
I see the problem @Wipqozn
I wasn't there
yeah @ave is a badass
@SaintWacko Always. I never play on anything else.
At least that was mostly the B-Team
or, well, the D-Team (the D stands for dead)
Also @SaintWacko was captured, which I believe means I might get a rescue missions for him later
how do i bookmark @Wipqozn being a terrible commander again?
@Wipqozn I was on the B-Team?!
@Wipqozn Okay, that's cool
The mission variety had been great so far, and the chosen and lost are both great additions
21:29
@SaintWacko didn't you read? You're on the D team
@KevinvanderVelden hue
@KevinvanderVelden No I'm not, I'm captured!
@GodEmperorDune room info tab I think
@SaintWacko c-team
@SaintWacko oh, so C team
@Wipqozn CURSES
...Better than D!
21:30
I probably shouldn't have expected much from @SaintWacko since he joined me squad with a bullet in his face
@Wipqozn You didn't even take the bullet out first?
Don't have bullets in your face, that's a terrible idea
@Wipqozn you monster
@Wipqozn He stores them in his cheeks for later
@KevinvanderVelden I'm on mobile too. Getting inb4 is extra bad for you.
21:31
I'm watching star trek and eating "dinner"
That's my story and I'm sticking too it
@KevinvanderVelden I'll be doing that soon too. Which trek and which episode?
dammit i typoed that
@Wipqozn voyager, s3e19 rise
user15026
Man,, I feel like hot garbage that was run over by a whole damn fleet of trucks.
21:33
@SaintWacko what did I just watch
@GodEmperorDune I'd strongly suggest buying WOTC once you finish your first vanilla run
@Avery The Mask!
@KevinvanderVelden yeah that'd make TSA very angry
@Wipqozn maybe it will go on winter sale
@Ash at least you weren't on that mission
21:33

In which @wipqozn sacs @spugsley and ruins everything

@Ash offers virtual hugs
@GodEmperorDune yeah it's pricy
user15026
@Wipqozn yaaay thats something at least
pls never ever draft me for your army @Wipqozn. I'm happy being alive
2
21:38
@Dragonrage no promises
@KevinvanderVelden I'll be doing a tng episode. Not sure which.
fine, if it do get drafted, make me a sniper and give me squad sight so i can stay safe and kill things
and preferably stay as far away from you as possible
@Dragonrage it's almost always better to stay with the group though
@GodEmperorDune not if @Wipqozn is part of that group
user15026
I dunno, I'm not dead yet so that's something
im hoping ill be close enough to the ship to evac after @Wipqozn kills everyone else
21:41
@Ash yeah but you've also never been on a mission
You have above average combat intelligence though and are training to shoot a grenade launcher, so you'll be out there soon enough
user15026
I hope I serve the team well
@Dragonrage I prefer to have everyone go down with the squads. Running is for cowards.
user15026
part of me is like "how does that even" like how do you not check where THAT MUCH MONEY is going and how
user15026
I used the quotes because it was part phishing scam and part people not bothering to check into things the way I feel like would make sense to do if you're just parting with giant sums of money
21:45
@Wipqozn i have a sniper that has like 70 confirmed kills or something in my xcom game
insert navy seal copypasta
@Ash to be fair, business transactions like that routinely involve numbers that are staggering from an individual perspective
user15026
@GodEmperorDune Probably, I am just like baffled at the largeness of hte numbers
user15026
like I can't even comprehend that much money
but yeah there should be some level of verification before changing bank info for vendors
user15026
21:49
At that point I am just like "YOU HAVE ALL THE MONEY ALL OF IT FOREVER"
@Ash we have periodic all hands meetings and there are awards for people that find savings
the last one went to someone that renegotiated a shipping contract to save several million per year
and it was like knocking a few percent off a price, not like a 50% discount or something
@Dragonrage yeah snipers are great
@Wipqozn i find in xcom2 they dropped in power a lot over xcom 1
@GodEmperorDune They did, but they're still really good. It's just that in Xcom 1 they were grossly overpowered. Snipers were far and away the best class in the first one.
@Wipqozn it also still bothers me that they don't track or give XP for assists, only kills
21:59
@Wipqozn is it your job to be the Bridge scapegoat?
