blaaaaarg

@Exeggutor so I've come to realize trick shot is just insanely broken if folks can pull it off correctly. Not even due to the fact it helps you grab shots, but if you time them right you get excellent energy. so the strategy is to just spam trick shot, get max meter and...well that's it.

So I'm going going to start playing more simple mode

Private Pansy

12:01 PM

@fredley butts

Exeggutor

12:22 PM

@Wipqozn Yeah, the new mechanics are really not well thought out.

Simple mode is better but you'll still probably want to avoid Bowser Jr.

Even without trickshots you have to seriously get him out of position to even have a hope of winning, and if he knows what he's doing you should never lob shot because he'll win the point off it no matter how close to the net he is.

@PrivatePansy it happened a few times to me yesterday, but it was never that bad. They always seem to run into streaming issues though.

Private Pansy

I'm not sure if the buffer just ran out, or if the stream is bad. I'm viewing on the iPad, and when it happens the UI pops up as if I tapped on the pause button, which confused the heck out of me when it happened the first few times

Exeggutor

@Wipqozn We should play each other at some point.

That is possible, right? They didn't fuck up that badly?

Private Pansy

Also it's an SAO spinoff, and I don't recall any characters like that in the original series

This spinoff is better

@PrivatePansy i was refering to how Kazuto, when logged into GGO, looks very feminine and at the start of the series when Kayaba started the Death Game, one of the players was revealed to have been playing a girl when everyone activated that mirror Kayaba gave the,

@PrivatePansy i like SAO (with the exception to some parts of the second ark but i think the author like doing that shit for second arcs going by what happens in Accel World). if what i am seeing is any indication of possible yuri then it would make the series better

am also curious if i get stylin' super cars in Fatal Bullet

Wipqozn

1:32 PM

@Exeggutor I don't think so. In free play we can make our own room, I think, and invite friends. We should try that tonight.

but again it's nintendo so who knows woooooooooooooooooooooooo

I did see a room creation feature in freeplay

and I'm positive it was all like "INVITE YOUR FRIENDS"

Exeggutor

Oh, I tried the COM tournament out and it supports multiple-set matches.

So the framework is there.

The idiots just didn't include options for it.

Wipqozn

@Exeggutor there's actually a dialogue box that pops up during loading screens that discusses it too

And you play multiset matches in adventure mode

It's so stupid

Sites have started writing articles on it so I'm hoping the devs actually fix it

Exeggutor

1:49 PM

They need to allow arbitrary match lengths in free play and they need to do an aggressive balance patch.

Wipqozn

@Exeggutor yup

Exeggutor

I'm more interested in simple over standard regardless of what they do to trick shots, but even in simple certain characters just have too much reach.

In the COM tournament there was a 5-set match in the finale to the last one and I won in the 1st set because of the stupid racket breaking mechanic.

Yuuki

@Wipqozn You haven't been playing simple mode this entire time?

Wipqozn

They should add multiset to the online tournaments as well. I'm fine with 1 set matches in the earlier brackets, but I think the championship should at least muktuset

Exeggutor

@Wipqozn I feel so bad when I steamroll someone and then they have like <10 points.

Yuuki

1:53 PM

@Exeggutor I haven't really been taking advantage of that. I always aim my zone shots away for winners rather than racket-breaking.

Wipqozn

@Exeggutor yeah there's no matchmaking either

Exeggutor

@Yuuki In the COM matches I just wanted it to be over quickly so I could unlock whatever it unlocked for winning (turned out it unlocked nothing).

Wipqozn

In fact I feel like the tournament mode was added so they didn't need to do proper matchmaking

Exeggutor

In player matches I'm playing simple mode so it's a non-issue.

Yuuki

I definitely prefer simple mode.

Exeggutor

1:54 PM

@Wipqozn The tournament mode is really weird.

@Yuuki All streamers and videos and posts I see are talking about standard mode.

I wonder how long before they all realize simple mode is where it's at.

Yuuki

It's not as flashy but it's also less BS.

Exeggutor

It feels more tactical. More options != more depth.

There's plenty of strategy in simple mode.

After entering a tournament with each character once, my favorite characters are Rosalina and Bowser.

Chippies

can anyone tell me what the "18" is supposed to represent in this screenshot from Discord?

Unionhawk

I think it corresponds to the friend suggestions and requests tabs combined

Chippies

is it "You have 18 friends total"? And if so, why should that be vital information that's showing on my screen 24/7?

@Unionhawk can I "clear" that? Because it seems like a notification number

and it's been at 18 forever

@Unionhawk I have no pending requests and I don't even know where to check suggestions

oh, I guess in the add friend tab... it does seem like I might have roughly 18 suggestions...

Yuuki

@TimStone hue

I find it weird how in China, of all cultures, the wife doesn't take the husband's family/last name. But then I realize that it's probably out of some even more incredibly misogynistic/"women as property" reason.

Chippies

I think a huge reason why married couples share their last name nowadays is mainly because the government is ill equipped to deal with couples with different last names

it's just easier if the last name is the same

ToxicFrog

...how so?

Chippies

2:13 PM

my wife took my last name primarily because she hated her maiden name. There was no discussion if she would or wouldn't, she knew she would change her last name when getting married before she even knew me

Yuuki

2:29 PM

@ToxicFrog I know @Ash has had some issues regarding last/family names.

I think it was something along the lines of government forms not recognizing their marriage because of different last/family names.

Chippies

@Yuuki it's certainly a lot easier if the names are same

if they are different, sometimes you have to prove your marriage

Memor-X

@Chippies yes, because it's not like marriages are recorded by the government

Wipqozn

@Yuuki I think engineer living in a different country and not together caused issues too

Chippies

@Memor-X Idk about other countries, but here in Canada, all government departments are very fragmented. There's little communication between them and it falls on you to communicate for them

changing your last name on all your government things, you'd think it would be simple, but you have to call a lot of different places and fill out different forms

it's not great

ToxicFrog

@Yuuki oh right

user15026

2:41 PM

@Yuuki I mean that's not the only reason I did it but it is hella easier this way

Yuuki

@Ash Oh, so you did change your last name?

I get the feeling you mentioned this but I'm probably a horrible person and forgot.

user15026

I know people who have managed through this stuff (this being a variety of government stuff including immigration) with different last names but I was like "I have no attachment to my name so let's just do the thing"

Nzall

@Chippies Belgium is even worse. We have both horizontal and vertical lack of comms between government departments, which leads to Kafka situations like mine, where I got a court decision for a federal department which isn't recognized by another, Flemish department

Yuuki

@Dragonrage I do want to try to make a mixed enclosure though.

user15026

@Yuuki yep, but there was an awkward period of "you won't let me change it yet but you also want me to prove I am married and the name thing is tripping you up"

user15026

2:43 PM

(you have to wait some number of days to change it and I forget exactly why. I think in case you like annul the marriage or something? I am vague on details)

Chippies

@Ash is it just a few days or a couple weeks? I don't remember this being a thing here, but I also don't remember a lot in general about the whole process

user15026

But yeah my life is tricky enough with an international spouse so I was like "let's make this as simple as possible because honestly my last name isn't something I am attached to and it would be nice to have a last name people could spell"

Yuuki

So... do we call you @AshEngineer now?

ToxicFrog

My parents didn't change either of their names and would occasionally get mail for "Mrs. Kelly" or "Mr. Groves", although not generally from the government.

Chippies

ha, last name people can spell... My wife didn't get that luxury ;)

Yuuki

@BlueBarren Hey, @WorldEngineer might have one of those "family name first" things going on, maybe it's @WorldAsh.

@Chippies it was a few days and then it was "wait for the marriage certificate which takes 6-8 weeks"

Chippies

@Yuuki some people just want to see the world burn

user15026

@Yuuki I still laughed tho

Chippies

@Ash ah, that does ring a bell, pretty sure we did have to wait some time for the government to receive the marriage certificate. Thought it was more like 4-6 weeks, but maybe I'm wrong or maybe it's quicker in NL

ToxicFrog

(my wife and I didn't change our names either, but we have the privilege of living in the same country and not having the government poking us with a stick)

user15026

2:47 PM

@Chippies I am still baffled how my maiden name was 4 letters long, 3 of which were the same letter and people still had a hell of a time with it

Yuuki

So wait, did I subconsciously foresee Infinity War a year ago?

ToxicFrog

@Ash that is pretty baffling, it wasn't a complicated name to spell

user15026

@Chippies it could be quicker, I suspect it is a "based on volume of requests"thing

Chippies

@Ash I mean, I can see people get confused with the repeating letters, but it wasn't a complicated name

Yuuki

@Ash Now my headcanon is that your maiden name was "GAAA" but people were pronouncing it "Gaaa" without the proper screaming.

user15026

Chippies

my name has a silent J in it, which is not a thing in English names, so it's kinda fun to watch people struggle with it

Tim Stone

@Ronan Hmm, that seems like the only possible explanation

Chippies

I always get asked if it's a typo

Yuuki

Speaking of name mistakes, I once had a substitute teacher call me "Scott".

If @Wipqozn can remember my name, he can confirm how ridiculous that is.

It was awkward because first, I didn't react to the name because it's so totally not my name. So they ended up having to try to wave and get my attention. And then I corrected them and there was just dead silence for like three minutes.

@Yuuki This reminds me of a time where we had a temp and he literally refused to believe this kid's last name

@Ronan I know an honest-to-god Chris Peacock

@Ash as-h? a-sh? WHO KNOWS

@Ash yeah, but no-one believes that. If you write it they assume it can't possibly be pronounced like it's written, and if you say it they assume it must have some weird German spelling or the like

It's a mystery to everyone

Speaking of weird German spellings, some Chinese try to find English name homophones. I know this one guy who ended up with Shellie.

Or Shelley. Can't remember how he spelled it.

ToxicFrog

@Ash And catalyst's is "Streatfield" (pronounced "stretfield" ofc)

So it looks like it should be pronounced "street-field" and sounds like it should be written "stret-field" and neither is correct :D

In a curious turn of events my mom's maiden name was Glass

Ronan

No one will ever learn my real name cackles

Yuuki

So what I ended up doing late last night was building a triceratops pen and then releasing one carnotaurus at a time for one of the triceratops to fight and usually kill. I did this because it would increase the triceratops's combat rating and thus its star rating.

And it would attract more guests.

I'm a horrible person.

But I would rather prefer tiny skirmishes to fights to the death.

ToxicFrog

3:08 PM

@Ash yep.

Yuuki

I originally thought the carnotaurus would fight, they'd essentially draw, and then they'd back off to lick wounds.

ToxicFrog

I also fully expect events like, say, symbol and catalyst being out with Alex and people trying to infer Alex's last name based on theirs :D

Yuuki

And there was a small break in the fight.

user15026

@ToxicFrog yesss it is like the food truck day but even more better

ToxicFrog

@Ash the food truck day remains great, though

Yuuki

3:09 PM

But no, carnotaurus has to be super-macho and aggressive as heck and fight until it got gored through the head.

ToxicFrog

Occasionally I pull out the memory of you telling me about it and pet it

Dragonrage

@Yuuki your carnotaurus must be weak. mine kills like everything

Yuuki

@Dragonrage I avoided adding any attack/defense boosting genes.

Dragonrage

like mine killed an indominus rex, then immediately got into a fight with a trex and won

Yuuki

Are there any attack/defense reducing genes?

Dragonrage

3:10 PM

yes

GodEmperorDune

@ToxicFrog this is such a great headcanon

Yuuki

I love how Ant-Man does this weird promos.

Dragonrage

a few things that increase other stats drop either defense or attack iirc

ToxicFrog

@GodEmperorDune oh?

@Dragonrage So far, I only have genes that boost stats at the cost of viability.

I remember his name being pronounced something like "Unkerscof" but I'm thinking based on actual last name spellings it was something more like Unger-Scoff

@TimStone TIL the president subbed your class

user15026

Like why would he lie about that and if her was going to why not pick something actually ridiculous

@GodEmperorDune lol

Chippies

Butt is a very common last name around here...

Tim Stone

In retrospect my mistake was not sealing him away in the frozen Canadian wastelands

user15026

@TimStone and lo, you changed the fate of the world

Tim Stone

Actually this might have been a few years past first grade because I remember that I got him fired after the fact since I was chummy with the faculty at that point in my childhood for some reason and just strolled into the principal's office and told him that the sub sweared at our class

I skipped a year of Canadian Math and therefore was Known

Yuuki

I had more "friends" in school office administration than I did in the student body during elementary and middle school.

neeeeeerrrds

Yuuki

Which is incredibly depressing looking back on it.

GodEmperorDune

@Ronan beat me to it :p

Tim Stone

@Yuuki We can start a club

ToxicFrog

@Ash "secretly wants the watermelon" is a pretty good heuristic for Alex's motivations in general

Yuuki

Hmm... how do I ask my supervisor to look over one of my changes without sounding... demanding?

3:29 PM

@Yuuki "hey get over here and look at this change IMMEDIATELY"

Apparently you can undock the keyboard in iOS

Why is this even a thing

Wipqozn

I once had a sub that made me cry because she was calling me stupid for having trouble with colours. I was colour blind.

Dragonrage

@Yuuki idk, ive been trying to do the same thing for like 3 weeks

Wipqozn

The next day the principle was subbing for some reason, and we spent the first 15 minutes telling him about how the sub was a total piece of shit.

GodEmperorDune

@Wipqozn at what point did you figure out that you were color blind?

Wipqozn

3:32 PM

@GodEmperorDune The year before that

Yuuki

@Wipqozn Substitute teachers are either junior teachers who don't have enough experience yet or former teachers who hate kids but still need money.

Wipqozn

I painted the earth the wrong colours in grade 5, so my teacher called me folks and was like "just a heads up that Wipqozn is probably colour blind"

@Yuuki Yeah

Yuuki

Granted, there's a not insignificant number of full-time teachers who also hate kids but still need money.

Wipqozn

Although in the former it can also be both

GodEmperorDune

@Wipqozn oh interesting

Dragonrage

3:33 PM

ive also been asking for documentation on the new features im supposed to be adding. but i havent gotten that either after bringing it up 3 times in meetings and sending 4 emails following up

@Wipqozn nice of the teacher to inform your parents. it can be rather frustrating for the child if they are having problems with colors and they dont know why

Wipqozn

I had this teacher who was meant to me in grade 7, I think it was. It was for home ed class (sewing, cooking). On parent teacher night my mother basically completely tore her to shreds, and she was super nice to me forever after. Like not just nice, but super nice, aka I think she was terrified my mother would come back.

@Dragonrage yeah it was a good teacher iirc

Yuuki

I think I'm going to go with "would you mind..."

Wipqozn

It's the proper way to handle a situation like that

Yuuki

That sounds passive enough, I think.

Dragonrage

i had a friend who just assumed that he was learning colors slower than others (like some people learn to read slower than others) until he learned he was color blind

Wipqozn

3:37 PM

@Dragonrage yeah it's tricky

Dragonrage

my dad and younger brother are both fully dyslexic, and thats a whole other can of worms

Wipqozn

@Dragonrage What are the worms used for?

Yuuki

I like how this recipe tells me to pre-heat the broiler but doesn't specify a temperature.

Kevin van der Velden

I had trouble with writing neatly, for the first 3 or 4 years where they teach that the teachers were constantly "Oh no it's fine, he'll learn it next year, it'll be ok." until suddenly "Well now it's too late"

@Yuuki 1 million

Dragonrage

@Wipqozn well, if they read it as worms, they probably arent dyslexic, if they read its as smrow, they very well might be

Yuuki

3:40 PM

@KevinvanderVelden Ah, the "I want to avoid this problem" school of teaching.

Wipqozn

@Yuuki they probably just knew computers were the future

My writing has always been messy, and it's gotten worse the further I've progress into CS

I almost never write anything anymore

Kevin van der Velden

The learn-touchtyping-things did not know that floppy disks weren't the future and that they could be easily corrupted with, say, a magnet, when people didn't want to do homework

Chippies

if you have messy writing, you should just become a doctor, no one will be any wiser
