> April's Item-of-the-Month is now available in Mr. Store. It unlocks FantasyRealm, a realm of fantasy available via the newly-opened LyleCo Monorail.
cc @ash @Yuuki
i'll poke around tonight and let you know how it is
 
user15026
Interesting. Let me know how it is!
 
5:57 AM
@ash so the monorail is complete and operational now
if you have the IOTM you go to a "fantasy realm" where you pick a class (fighter/mage/rogue, dunno if it resets daily or on ascension), and can adventure in places for a certain number of turns in a day
it kinda feels like the gingerbread town iotm from a while back
i think there is a lot of content there but its not immediately obvious, because it intentionally gets uncovered slowly, if that makes sense
but i think long term the monorail is going to be like the airport to the elemental zones where it holds a lot of stuff around it
(there is also a currency specific to the fantasy realm called "rubee" but i think kolmafia doesn't have the handling built in yet so i didn't spend any)
ALSO, forgot to mention, but different monsters in the new zone are immune to different things
there is a faerie that flies out of the way of ranged attacks but is targettable by spells
that sort of thing can be frustating if you don't have spells, combat items, and regular attacks, etc
yeah, reading on the forums the more you progress in the fantasy zone, the harder the monsters are to deal with. like you need special gimmicks to win

Always fun when your work ISP yesterday reschedules an appointment to upgrade your internet which was planned for next Monday to today without informing you, leading to them arriving when there are only 2 people at the office, neither of which is your sysadmin
 
8:14 AM
tfw you wake up in the morning and all the server alarms are red
Everything's fucked
 
@fredley if all of them are red
that probably means that there is something wrong on the layer above the code
probably a server misconfiguration (TLS? Firewall? router?)
or even the internet connection itself
 
Server-rooms been flooded
Seems like a thing that would happen to @fredley

Q: How do Measure weapons work?

David YellI have made Balthier a Machinist and White Mage, so he has access to Measures. These seem to be very low fixed damage weapons, which apply buffs on hit. I have tried using one and manually having him attack my other party members to apply Protect. However in the wider context of the game, they ...

 
9:28 AM
@Nzall Lol, no everything was totes fuckerood
 
@fredley Sounds fun
 
Had a memory leak that gobbled up the server
 
@fredley ah, I see
 
The server stopped processing tasks all night, so a huge backlog formed
So even when the machine was recovered, it started chewing through a huge pile of stuff
Recovered now, and memory leak issue mitigated
@KevinvanderVelden Memory leak, so actually pretty close
Turns out Celery has a setting that just respawns a worker after every task, so hooray for that

@KevinvanderVelden You know what the funny part is about the "gratis bus" song? so in the song, they're 3 teenagers who usually dodge fares on the bus, but the local government made the bus free, so they can't do that anymore, so they hijacked the bus and demanded they made it paid again so they can dodge the fares again. funnily enough, the next government made the buses paid again

Q: Is usage of specific weapons tracked by Bungie in Destiny 2 and is it available via the API?

admpskttUsing the API, you can get the usage stats for each weapon category (weaponKillsHandCannon, weaponKillsSideArm, weaponKillsSubmachinegun, etc.), broken down into game category (patrol, raid, story, allStrikes, etc.), but can you retrieve usage stats for specific weapons using the API? I know it ...

Q: How is the maximum price level determined in Theme Hospital?

aphidIn the original theme hospital, patients will not come and refuse to be treated if you raise your prices above a certain level. For example: At the default 100%, I have never had problems. Setting it to 120% at the start will net you zero clients. How is this variable determined (for each typ...

Q: Is there a Text based, Multiplayer, D&D style game (tabletop) that allows a person to act as DM

GagantousIt's been bugging me, at the Pagan Min Palace, at the beginning of the game, when the player have a dinner, pagan told the player to stay right here and enjoy the soup rangoon, he said he will be right back. After that he said "Yuma, We need to talk". At that moment if we stay right where we are,...

Q: Are security levels a gradation of something or just incomparable classes for easy management?

NakilonDo guards behave with them differently? Also, wiki sources tell us to assign "protected custody" to one kind of prisoners and "supermax" to another. If I assign them vise versa would it work the same?

Hmm... my tea thermos did not come with a cup.
I mean, I didn't really expect one but now I have to go get one.
 
Important question. What kind of tea?
 
@Maximillian Hmm... I guess it'd be black tea in American.
 
Acceptable.
 
红茶 is literally "red tea" but you silly Westerners call it "black tea".
Although it's actually 烏龍 or oolong tea.
Which is not black tea in the West, but it's occasionally used interchangeably in China.
 
the problem with naming conventions of tea could be solved if everyone drank coffee instead.
 
6:30 PM
@Dragonrage People are just as anal about coffee.
 
Yes, but (at least in North America) if you ask for coffee you can be reasonably assured you will get some kind of suitable basic coffee. Tea is sometimes a crapshoot.
 
Yeah but that's because you're all weird over there
 
6:46 PM
@Dragonrage :(
 
6:57 PM
for you c# people. is there a way of keeping a sql connection active?
 
@TrentHawkins Don't need to ask for tea if you bring your own leaves.
 
@Dragonrage .NET environment?
I recall this issue with using OracleConnection before that got phased out...
ODBCConnection required an action occur every so often or it would close the connection.
So you need a trivial SQL command or action every so often as a keep-alive of sorts.
 
7:14 PM
@Maximillian yeah, using ado though
 
I got out of that stuff right as LINQ was being implemented unfortunately.
 
oh, i can run a command that commits a transaction with rowlock and it will still apply until i commit the transaction even if the connection is sleeping
 
Do a bunch of operations, then commit? That could work.
 
im having to lock a record that is being displayed to a user incase they edit it, so that i can prevent overwriting
then once they close the window release the lock
though i now have to write a class to check idle time and timeout the lock and close the record if they have been idle for x amount of time
 
Hey, if anyone is curious what I've been up to lately
Still pretty rough but not bad for a first attempt
Oh yeah, has some swears towards the end
Oh yeah and I accidentally paused it a couple of times lol, hit the wrong deck

Q: Blizzard Overwatch Update slowing to a stop

Crafter0800Trying to update the new OW, I encountered an issue after the first 5GB or so, what, for some reason happens is that the update will start at 0b/s, work it's way up to around 1Mb/s, and then slow all the way down to 600b/s. I've googled a large number of help resources but none of them appear to ...

 
@GnomeSlice I mean, Idk what's mixed and what's part of the original songs, but I'm 5 and half minutes in and it sounds good so far
 
@Chippies I'm just mixing songs together
I didn't make any of the sounds, I just picked the tracks and transitioned them. I did it live too
 
@GnomeSlice do you do any like, short transitions where you jump from one song to another and then right back? Like, as sound effects or something? Or just transition them when they end?
Idk the lingo
 
@Chippies Yeah sometimes, in a few of them I just brought like a few sounds in and then went back
I do more of that when I do house music, dubstep is pretty difficult
 
@GnomeSlice nice, it sounds pretty good
@GnomeSlice lol I imagine
 
7:58 PM
I did a house one last night too but it was pretty shit
 
do you use ableton live?
or something dj specific?
 
@Chippies I've been using VirtualDJ
and I bought a USB Dj controller on kijiji a few months back
 
@GnomeSlice geez, that's still a thing? I remember playing with that back in like 2008 or so
 
yeah apparently
 
what version are they on now?
 
8:02 PM
8
Don't think it's changed much
 
I think it was 4 or 5 back then
 
It's been 8 for a long time
 
I had a friend who was semi-serious about it
 
lmao the house one sucks I made so many mistakes
 
I mean, he didn't have a dj controller, but he did some mixes
@GnomeSlice that is pretty cool, I love audio gear
 
8:04 PM
I want to move to my laptop
 
what midi controller is that?
 
Akai MPK mini
I honestly just use it for pads right now
 
oh yeah, the MPK is bigger than the one without pads
I have m-audio oxygen 25
was a stupid purchase
I wanted it because it was small, so I could fit it on my desk without getting in the way of keyboard, but I also wanted it to have a bunch of features
and it's fucking massive
for what it is at least
kinda want the Akai mini, I forget the proper name, but it's like MPK but without the pads
it's nice and tiny
the Oxygen 25 has pads, but I don't use them, thought they would be cooler
 
@Chippies LPK I think
 
@GnomeSlice yeah, sounds right
 
8:07 PM
 
the new models have bluetooth capability as well, which could be useful
 
LPK25 (25 keys)
 
I thought it also had a mod/pitch wheel, but maybe not
not that I ever use them anyway
 
idk then might be a different one
there's a shitload of them out there
I don't really need it either I use it just for hotcues in VDJ lol
 
no, that one looks about right
 
8:08 PM
cause my controller only has 3 per deck
 
it's nice and tiny, would fit right between me and my keyboard, lol
my m-audio is way too big, can't keep it on the desk in a way that I can still use my keyboard
 
What do you use it with
 
lately I've been using Ableton Live
I kinda suck at it tho
long time ago I used FL Studio and I actually took my time and learned to use it decent, but I hated how everything was done with patterns, so I was trying out different DAW's and now I don't remember how to do anything in FL Studio
I find Reaper nice for recording guitars, but the built-in effects aren't great and it's not that awesome for midi, imho
 
yeah FL is all about, well, loops
 
Ableton seems very decent overall, so I'm hoping to learn to use it well at some point
FL kinda sucked for recording audio (probably because I wasn't very good at it), which is the main reason I switched away from it
the sound quality and built in plugins are really good in FL though
 
8:18 PM
I only ever produced tracks a couple times in FL Studio and Cubase
not really for me I don't think
 
well, they're kinda mainly for making things from scratch
 
yeah
Which I don't think is really for me although I used to really wanna do it
I did that in like a couple of hours at a summer course at algonquin college
Meh
 
@GnomeSlice I love the synth sounds
 
The melodic lead like halfway through was a sample, the rest I jiggered out of Massive I think
 
it sounds really good, just need to go somewhere with the sound and I find that to be the worst about making music
 
8:21 PM
The bass is so dumb lol I had no idea how to control the speed of the wobble it just kinda changes when I adjust the pitch
 
sometimes I come up with some nice short bit and then I have no idea where to go from there
 
@Chippies I have a hard time actually getting the sounds
did you ever look at my newgrounds posts?
I mean I did name one of them after you lol
 
@GnomeSlice yeah, we "shared" that stuff a long time ago
 
nice
 
I named a song after you, lol
 
8:22 PM
Been a while now
This was the FL Studio one
It's pretty bad, my mastering was whack
 
I made a thing recently, for the first time in years, the more I hear it, the more mediocre it seems, lmao soundcloud.com/meiyonaize
@GnomeSlice ooh the clap sound is bad, but other than that I like it
 
I was inspired by the swamp level in Castle Crashers lol
@Chippies This is chill
Music for TV ads
 
@GnomeSlice yeah, it kinda had that drum and bass vibe to it, but it turned out quite chill
 
I had a really neat old thing I made in sunvox long time ago but I think it got lost
 
I actually messed up the drums, I had them done better, but then I changed stuff and I couldn't get them back to what they were, because I suck at drums
 
8:26 PM
they sound fine
most drums I've done was probably this one newgrounds.com/audio/listen/479522
Usually I just use loops
 
the drum beat/pattern was better in the intro parts
I feel dirty when I use loops/samples
it's like I'm using someone else's work and claiming it as mine, just feels wrong, lol
that being said, I used midi drum loops from FL library in this song
I still think that's the best thing I have ever made and I probably will never beat that
that was made in FL Studio back when I actually somewhat knew what I was doing
 
Yeah I know people always made fun of me when I used to make stuff with loops in Acid
@Chippies That art is cool
@Chippies waiting for the drop lol
 
@GnomeSlice lol all my art on soundcloud is just stuff I throw together in photoshop in like 5 minutes when I'm uploading and it asks for an image, haha
 
@Chippies It's pretty cool man
 
@GnomeSlice it doesn't really have a distinct drop, it just kinda flows through the whole thing
 
8:30 PM
Yeah this one is neat
 
it's a bit of a rollercoaster
I liked the bass line I had in that song
 
Yeah me too
 
I had a bass guitar sound for it and I was going completely different from the main melody
 
I also have trouble expanding on riffs to make complete songs newgrounds.com/audio/listen/502874
When I listen to someone like C-Jeff who has 12 minute songs that never repeat themselves but still carry a theme it blows my mind
God-tier progressive music
 
@GnomeSlice I know, I see people that make awesome music and I just don't understand it
sometimes I make an awesome riff and I'm all hyped, ready to make a song and hours later I'm still stuck on that one riff with nothing to continue it with
 
8:33 PM
yep
So write music for mobile games lol
loops
I kinda had fun doing that for a while
 
lol, making loops that don't seem repetitive after a while is difficult :P
 
Meh, I was pretty proud of the main one I did for @RavenDreamer actually
 
this was a pretty fun song I made too soundcloud.com/meiyonaize/meiyonaize-hashtag
 
but it was almost 2mins long
 
I haven't touched my guitar in forever
 
8:34 PM
@Chippies lol I commented on that
 
haha yeah
 
Oh yeah that's the one you played guitar on
man you should pick it up again
It's solid
 
the worst part is, I have no piano training, but all of my music knowledge comes from learning guitar, so I can come up with stuff on guitar better than I can on piano/midi
but with the guitar I am even worse with transitioning between riffs
I also have a huge problem with actually playing music for recording, because I can never figure out the bpm I need
and I find it super difficult to play to metronome, because I tune it out
I wish I had a second monitor, I feel like it would make music making a lot more convenient

user15026
That is a classic example of "don't give people an option you don't want them to take"
 
user15026
Because unlike FB, Twitter polls have no write in option
 
Maybe it was a case of "I'll put this option in to conclusively demonstrate that people don't really want it"

If so, that really backfired :P
