@StrixVaria dat thumbnail tho

guys

I have a really, really huge thing to confess

I actually am starting to like php.

@Ave So what you're saying is that you believe the world is a simulation, the simulation is Hell, and this is your method of coping?

in this capitalist hell I need money

and this php job on horizon is my way of coping

8:28 PM

I guess that's better for your mental health that needing the money but hating PHP as you work in it every day

As long as you aren't going out and inflicting PHP on other people

@ToxicFrog By the very nature of PHP, working on PHP is inflicting PHP on other people.

no like

I'm like

Lord knows nobody wants to use PHP for internal applications.

actually enjoying writing php

maybe it's just ritalin idk

but... I'm actually enjoying this

@Ave A user to surpass @Wipqozn...

8:29 PM

@Yuuki 100% of the PHP jobs I took to keep eating during undergrad were working on internal web apps.

That said

honestly

all I want to do rn is pass the github check

I more meant "as long as you aren't publishing PHP code and promulgating the idea that it's a good idea", as opposed to working on PHP safely locked away in a corporate version control system somewhere.

"github check"?

@ToxicFrog a company a friend's working on (won't name company or friend, it's not a startup so :thumbsup:) as a dev is looking for a php dev, he offered to pass my github profile to the team so I can be considered and possibly have an interview. Except with the current PHP stuff, it's not exactly going to get me an interview, so I'm doing something that pmuch shows what I can do when I'm not hacking stuff together.

so I think I might have too many DB rights

vs what I should have

I accidentally hit F5 in a modify procedure window that I had up to grab the actual sql of a stored procedure in a test db, and it allowed it to happen which uh

probably shouldn't have gone through

reverted it so we should be fine

and technically it's a fix that'll get moved from dev shortly anyway so

Q: I can't see messages of enemy players in chat (War Thunder)

0

I have been playing War Thunder for a few years with no problem. But more recently, I started watching Youtube videos of WT gameplay, as well as started playing more custom battles. Something I see on Youtube videos is a few enemy players using the [All] chat feature, and their messages are visib...

Q: How do you buy premium cylinders?

8:55 PM

0

I'm on the last chapter in the game, have maxxed my salvage rank and dev level for every city (except one). I can't seem to find a place to buy premium cylinders. I've heard that they can be bought before the last chapter and not at an A rank salvager too. It seems the common denominator is that ...

Q: Is posting about privately-run servers of a defunct game on-topic?

Is Fox still known for being really spectacularly bad at anime?

Way back in the day I played Star Wars: Galaxies (SWG) for a long time. Later on (10+ years ago) SOE shut down the entire game. Since then, there have been some communities of privately run servers pop up, and if you had the original game discs, you could run their launcher (which modified the se...

good server

you know a discord is good when roles are "meme lords" and "memers"

it's actually quite a good server

our @Subscribers role in the moonmoon discord was renamed to "Boston Uprising Fans" and moon @ed it

so it pinged everyone including people who supress @everyone in that server like I do

because he wants to watch everything burn

(boston uprising is an overwatch league team)

there's a friend

who is now pinging @everyone using a special role he added to everynoe

lol

Honestly there should probably be a third supression option that only shows pings to @you

but meh

it's always funny to watch moon's discord go nuts

9:19 PM

@Unionhawk ugh yes

I guess that'd be a fourth option, whatever

this is getting hella confusing

look at this mess

obviously the compact/irc UI is a workaround but naah

What is even

9:35 PM

@Fluttershy ... I thought James Cameron was working on this?

now server is talking portuguese 10/10

Riker

@Ave what server even is this

funny story.

I met someone on hypesquad, joined her server.

Some people there were pretty...

not-nice.

So a while later I had a huge argument there and someone invited me to a Secret Server without the not-nice people.

Riker

what is hypesquad exactly?

this is the secret server.

@Riker discord's dumb "hey kids make events get swag" thing

Riker

9:41 PM

ah

SaintWacko

@Ave Those are always fun

yuuup

I never dropped in the not-secret server after that

everyone is so great

also portuguese is so weird

it's kinda like spanish but not really

dammit now I want to learn more

Q: How do I check what hole I'm playing?

10:13 PM

OK Golf's in game UI is fairly minimalistic. The top-right corner displays the par for the current hole and the number of strokes you've taken. What seems to be missing is an easy way to check the current hole number while playing. While this isn't much of an issue in Free Play, it can be annoyi...

Q: What is the twirly thingy around the Pokémon on the map?

Since the last update (8 December 2017) I sometimes see a Pokémon with a sort of whirlwind around it. When I caught it, it gave me 25 bonus star dust. Are there more benefits? What determines what Pokémon get these bonuses?

Q: My rescuee fell into water, how do I carry him back to dry land?

During one of the quests where I have to carry the person I rescued to a certain spot, I put the guy on my horse and rode forth towards the marker on my map. I accidentally rode my horse into water. The guy started swimming towards the bank but once he reached the bank, the wall was too high for ...

@Fluttershy I have a work Christmas party but do you want to play laser tag later tonight?

@Yuuki HE COME TO TOWN

@Ave but what happened to OP's bike?

10:38 PM

@GodEmperorDune it's an owlturd meme

@Ave wat

knowyourmeme.com/memes/my-bike-got-stolen-recently

also profile picture there is from the newest pages of ava's demon (nsfw I think? didn't read it yetr) I tihnk

Fluttershy

@Yuuki He is. Along with Robert Rodriguez.

Stardew Valley multiplayer is coming.

@Yuuki gasp

Hmm but what would multiplayer look like in a game like that?

Would you just have a drop in extra player?

10:45 PM

oh no

it'll get turkish support too

fact: everything is worse when it's in turkish.

Would they be able to cultivate their own relationships?

@Ave ah, entirely unrelated to the other "stole my bike"

@RedRiderX yes, blog posts mentions that

@Ave So would it only be local multiplayer?

@RedRiderX see, monopoly ends relationships

10:46 PM

I guess someone could have to host it like terraria.

this forces you to stay otherwise you won't be able to water all everything

DanmakuGrazer

@RedRiderX stardewvalley.net/stardew-valley-multiplayer-news

@DanmakuGrazer Ah so pretty much the Terraria model

Makes sense for a game that didn't originally have multiplayer planned.

DanmakuGrazer

Yeah, basically

@Yuuki but you still can't romance the sauce queen. sad!

10:55 PM

Hmm

The party timing in botw is so tight

> U.S. Senate Bill S. 1241 to criminalize concealed ownership of digital currencies

Hmm... does this mean I have to declare how many Stones of Jordan I have on my taxes?

@Yuuki hue

You don't own those, they're just an arbitrary property of a game that you own

Text of the bill.

I could open a text document and write "1 million Monopoly dollars", but that doesn't mean that I have to declare a million Monopoly dollars on my taxes

10:59 PM

@Yuuki references a certain thing that went on in maid cafe, gets banned

Ok I think I'm getting it

I think I need better gear and more hearts though

Like I think I can get away with this fight now, but, barely

Maybe it would apply to something like EVE Online currency, where there's a consistent and explicit exchange rate with real money

Right now I need defense up and several heals to get through half this guy's health

@murgatroid99 sounds to me like it would be targetting bitcoin and the like rather than in game gold

oh this is an anti money laundering bill?

i wonder if people are trying to launder money through steam wallet or something

Steam wallet->g2a seems possible

11:12 PM

in any case, it won't be used to go after banks or companies while trump admin people are in charge

even the obama admin barely went after HSBC for basically treating the cartels as most valuable customer

oh yes that reminds me

I should re-file my w8

microsoft is a n g r y

gud w8 m8

@GodEmperorDune Right. I was responding to Yuuki's comment about Stones of Jordan

actually I'm not even going to bother

the documentation is too confusing

I'll just handle it the next time I release a paid UWP app

(probably never)

@murgatroid99 laundering money through isk is probably one of the dumber ways to do it

what you want is complicated transactions that are difficult to trace

11:19 PM

Regular brain: laundering money with Bitcoin

Large brain: laundering money through eve

but all isk trading is going to be done through CCP, so CCP should have records of everything

Galaxy brain: laundering money through stardew valley

writing checks that go from Bank A to Bank B is much more useful, because then the feds have to deal with different banks that each have half the transaction

Actually now that I think about I had a friend who unboxed a knife and sold it and spent a while extracting the wallet value by buying games for friends and charging them a discounted rate

But that's like, $600

yeah, real money laundering is about volume

no one is gonna come after you for your ill gotten $30
