1:20 AM

@BunsGlazing So far of the ones I've seen, Three Robots and When the Yogurt Took Over. It's funny because I thought the third story I watched was weaker than the first two and thought they lead with their better stories, but that's probably not the case if it's semi-random

Foddy: When players finished Getting Over It, players could join a chat room where Bennet would congratulate them IN REAL-TIME. (He got a notification on his phone every time someone finished the game so he could log on.) Some examples: #GDC19

Q: Can I make Apex Legends run on DirectX 10?

-1

I have a bad computer but I want to play Apex. I tried putting "-dxlevel 10" in the launch properties box, but it didn't start. It's a Source Engine game, so shouldn't it use the same Source commands? Is there a way to make this work or is it a lost cause?

@Unionhawk oh goodness this is magical

@Ash this ending is hidden behind a "check this box and click ok to certify that you're not recording or streaming" (it probably also looks for if you're running obs) so I've always wondered

@Lazers2.0 wait what the fuck apex is source engine?

So what's the go to torrent software now-a-days? on a Discord Server i'm told uTorrent is dead and BitTorrent has a Remote Code Execution Security Flaw in it that the devs will not fix. one user says qBittorrent or Deluge are the go to ones now

@Yuuki I distrust LG phones since I had a G4 and it was rubbish. The screen had bad burn ins, the battery life was atrocious and the phone bootlooped months after warranty expired (though thankfully they fixed it free of charge)

I'm using a Nokia 7 Plus purchased May last year and have been quite happy with it. It's (relatively) cheap, has very fast updates and performs well all round while been very affordable

I think a case could be made for suing the Phoenix Point developers for breach of contract now that they release on Epic Games Spyware instead of Steam

Q: Is it considered breach of contract or advertising laws if a developer markets their game as releasing on digital store A, but then chooses store B?

Recently, there's a lot of commotion in the PC gaming market over the Epic Game Store, a new digital-only PC games store and platform which is trying to break into the market.

app.pub.gov.sg/waterlevel/pages/…

10:55 AM

@Nzall problem is that its a 1 year exclusive release. after that year it they are "supposedly" releasing it on the other platforms

though yeh it's still a dick thing to do even after when it's been found out that they knew there was a backlash and that even if everyone pulled their pre-orders, they can still release the game

Hip Hop cheese..... best cheese?

and is telling of Epic's business practice. yes devs/publishers are to blame for accepting the deals but Epic is trying to artificially inflate their library by bribing publishers/devs for limited exclusives rather than the big selling point they made when they announced their store

I'm 25 now. I think that means I'm officially older than @Wipqozn.

Sterno

Sterno ("canned heat") is a fuel made from denatured and jellied alcohol. It is designed to be burned directly from its can. Its primary uses are in the food service industry for buffet heating and in the home for fondue and as a chafing fuel for heating chafing dishes. Other uses are for camp stoves and as an emergency heat source. It is also a popular fuel for use with toy and model steam and other external combustion engines. Sterno cans were sometimes taken on trips and used to heat curling irons and hot combs for hairstyling, for use when travelers were not near salons providing these services...

I FINALLY UNDERSTAND

THAT'S THE ORIGIN OF @Sterno NAME

@Unionhawk Accurate

I often forget just how young you are

You're almost as young as Forever 16 @Ronan

I am pleased to inform you that this effort has been forcibly cancelled and reassigned to our team to implement how we want

so we can stop screaming "THIS IS A BAD IDEA PLEASE STOP"

@Unionhawk That's a good thing, right?

yes

now we can implement it in a way other than by copy pasting the wheel

@Unionhawk Err, isn't the core principle of programming that you SHOULDN'T reinvent the wheel and instead reuse other people's wheel designs?

@Nzall in this case they were reinventing the wheel, by copying an entire class into their own OurVersionOfThing

when they should have been using Thing

ah, like that

like I would have bought it if it was OurThing extends Thing, maybe, but

this was just a recipe for us having to change code in 2 places in the future

it wont help you guess my age at all, but i did grow up listening to radio shows like Gunsmoke, Lone Ranger, and Have Gun, Will Travel

When aired in the UK, the television series was initially titled Gun Law, later reverting to Gunsmoke.The radio series ran from 1952 to 1961.

You might think "a new far cry game on sale already at -60%? awesome"

Nope

The bundle with Far Cry 5 is 60% off

The Far Cry New Dawn Standalone itself isn't discounted (though weirdly enough buying both games together is still cheaper than just new dawn)

but yeah fwiw I was cutting the roots (is this the right word?) off scallions (to prepare them for use in a salad) under tap water (because I wanted to keep the cutting board clean) and had my finger on the other side holding things in place

user15026

@Ave yeah, roots is the right word

@Ave Yeah, don't do that

I moved too swiftly and actually managed to actually hurt myself in probably one of the worst spots (right at the point where the upper and middle part of the finger connects) as it just is taking a looong time to heal (as it's a part that moves a ton)

@Nzall yeah, I won't.

There's a reason why the very first thing they teach any new chef is proper knife techniques

user15026

@Ave yeah, the joints are the worst for cuts because you can't really keep them from moving

yeeep

@Ash Yeah, alongside the lips. Though the lips deserve special mention because they seem to cut themselves during the winter

and if you're not careful those cuts heal wrong and you can't even grin anymore without your lips feeling pain

But it's not like I get Amazon Prime for Twitch stuff.

because right now there's no way I'm going to ever use the Epic Game Spyware Platform

@Yuuki Same here

I still haven't used my free sub

gamers: "steam's storefront is bad"
also gamers: "I will never use any platform other than steam"

@Unionhawk accurate

what we need is a proper, open source, non-intrusive storefront.

is itch open source and that's where this is leading to or

(itch is cool because devs set their own split)

yeah itch is good, dunno if it's open source tho

7:24 PM

@Unionhawk I use Origin and uPlay (Anthem and The Division 2) on occasion as well B.net.

Although I've mostly dropped Anthem now.

I think my main problem with epic store is the same why I took so long to join steam

I think that if this somehow fails I lose whatever I bought there

Its not like this never happened before. Remember Desura?

RIP

@Ave why does it need to be open source?

@Moacir I really liked desura's browser experience

The client not so much but you didn't even need it

@BunsGlazing I never got even tempted to create an account there

But it failed under like four different companies

@BunsGlazing If you download them and store them yourself. I don't bother.

@JasonBerkan but you could if it ever shut down

@Unionhawk it's the biggest

Jason Berkan

@BunsGlazing Yeah, assuming they gave me the time to before shutting down. But Steam (or any store) could also do something similar to move my product licenses.

Or the games could just go away.

@BunsGlazing I mean more in the "wow I can't believe that this dev is selling exclusively on a storefront that offers a better split I guess I won't buy it ever" sense

I think steam said they would do that too

@Unionhawk some people just don't want to be fragmented

I have games from all over the place though

I have games on Orign, but my games on uplay all come from steam

i also have blizz

But the problem is these are actually exclusives

Not time-exclusives

@BunsGlazing for extensibility and more. Also IMO ppen source code encourages having a clean codebase, which is something I've noticed that all major storefronts lack (why does steam need to be 250mb, for example?). Why shouldn't it be open source?

Does open source mean anyone can contribute or am I thinking of something else

@BunsGlazing It does mean that, sort of

It's a whole thing, but yeah

That seems like the opposite of encouraging a clean codebase then lol

But I'm not a developer

7:55 PM

It doesn't mean everyone does contribute

You don't have to accept all alterations to your codebase

yeah it's not like your code just suddenly becomes wikipedia

My dad tried to explain to me once why open source is shite but I wasn't really listening

It's really not, we're moving to an inner source (like open source but within a company) model at work and it's really interesting

Neat.

user15026

@BunsGlazing That looks like it has the potential to be fun but also frustrating. :)

7:57 PM

I just am a big fan of nitrome

They should do a collection of a bunch of their old web games

I'd buy that

user15026

I like a lot of their stuff, yeah. I'd buy that too I think :)

@Ronan What does that mean? Is it normal to not be able to view your own codebase?

@BunsGlazing it's like uh, when you're working on smth that only a handful of people (who you know and who know you) will see you can mostly get away with hacky stuff or get away with stuff without documenting it thoroughly (in my own experience that is), but when the whole world can see it you kind of refrain from that because then people may and will criticize.

@Yuuki It's all the other open source stuff, like contributor models, documentation, and CI that you need to make open source stuff work, but internally

Also other teams can make changes to your code so they don't need to wait for you to fix that bug that's only affecting them.

@BunsGlazing You suppose you could argue that if your codebase is open, it might be easier for other people, including malicious actors, to find and exploit bugs and glitches.

But security through obscurity is kinda dumb.

(and if you're open source, more people can notice issues and report it to you, when it's hidden IMO there's a higher risk of an evil party finding an exploit and not disclosing it)

Oh also my company has over 10,000 repositories

We're not a normal company no

@Ronan Parallel computing?

hmm?

Oh, geometry

We're not a tangent company either

@Ronan We're moving that way here. On the new projects, I can submit a pull request for a bug/feature. We're using conan packages for integration so that the features can be in separate repos.

A project I was briefly working on at my last job was doing that with micro-services and docker containers.

I just showered and came up with the craziest way of potentially avoiding having to implement upload filters in case Article 13 goes through: Provide an easy and mostly automated way for creators to create one or more small companies including websites that stay well below the limits that A13 imposes for non-filtered sites. So every 5 years companies get recreated, companies get split if they get more than 5M members, etc

So creators don't have to implement upload filters because each of their companies stays below the limits, your company exists longer but doesn't have any content itself so doesn't have anything to filter

So essentially a mix of kubernetes, Reddit and Youtube

Upload an encrypted/blurred image that requires a plugin to unblurry it

So, um, Visual Studio just froze on me.

Q: What UI elements can be changed in The Division 2

0

From the Division 2 graphical settings menu it appears that the radar and some Conflict-related UI elements (eg: scoreboard) can be moved, scaled, and saved. Tooltips, tutorials, pickups and notifications don't appear to be movable from the UI settings menu. Is there a way to adjust these elemen...

Managed to blunder my way into the secret Patreon-only discord for a Twitch streamer I'm subbed to

without actually being a top tier patreon, to be clear

user15026

oops, but yay? :P

Yeah, so apparently, he linked his Patreon only discord to his Twitch channel too, but you can actually see a list of all discords connected to a Twitch channel. And since Discord doesn't have Patreon integration...

45 more min of work today before I get to go to a Baha'i new year celebration thingie and I swear the time is sloooowing dooooown

murgatroid99

Discord definitely has Patreon integration

user15026

@Nzall oops.

9:14 PM

@murgatroid99 Really? Weird, then it must have been a misconfiguration

murgatroid99

@Nzall I have a whole bunch of discord servers that I was automatically added to because of Patreon subscriptions

@murgatroid99 I don't even have a patreon account, so...

Or at least not that I know of

and I don't see a Patreon icon in the Connections settings page on Discord

Or is it supposed to go the other way around? link your Discord account to your Patreon profile?

murgatroid99

I think it is the other way around. At least, I think I initiated the connection on the Patreon side
