OMG so I am watching Call the Midwife and Sister Monica Joan is watching TV and SHE'S WATCHING DOCTOR WHO :D (Call the Midwife is set in 1960's England)

Elise

so, I found out that my mom, while practicing the "whatever, live and let live" type of attitude, doesn't understand trans people and feels somewhat uncomfortable seeing them. This set back my coming out to her for quite some time

GnomeSlice

Being uncomfortable is hard to control. It doesn't necessarily mean people don't support it

in my experience

Elise

@GnomeSlice it's one thing when it's someone else and another when it's their child

GnomeSlice

Shrug

Elise

many people who are seemingly supportive totally change their views when their child comes out as part of lgbtq

of course it's infinitely better than being outright hostile and hateful

but it certainly won't make the future conversation easy

If the attackers plant the defuser on a breachable hatch and then an attacker explodes the hatch, the defuser get's destroyed and the attackers lose. But if a defender is the one to destroy the hatch do the defenders lose or do the attackers still lose?

@Elise *sets off belated party crackers*

Nzall

@Wipqozn Yeah, and it's a deep-seated point of contention among the playerbase because they used to (maybe still) really give someone random the host, even if they were in the worst location and had a very shitty internet connection. The CoD playerbase has wanted dedicated servers for a long time.

@Ash And because they can be used for blizzard Balance, you can use them to buy other games

Memor-X

@Elise the same with my mum but replace the "feels somewhat uncomfortable seeing them" with "she says it's complicated so she doesn't have to learn anything" which is what she uses for anything technical

Q: Can you add a delay to a command block?

I have a command block line set up so that it detects for a players death, then gives them weakness for 600 seconds. It applies weakness to soon before they get out of the respawn time. If there is not way to delay a command is there a way to detect a player respawn?

@Wipqozn It's relevant because it's not something that's actually appreciated by the community as a way of cost cutting

Unionhawk

Invader Skoodge

Yuuki

2:25 PM

So I read some new developments in WoW lore. We're really doing Garrosh again, huh?

Nzall

@Yuuki essentially, yes

Yuuki

Didn't they say "we're not doing Garrosh again" at the beginning of this xpac?

Nzall

though Garrosh was just his own ego and lust for boosting up Orcs. Sylvanas might have motivation from the Void Lords

Yuuki

Still another Horde warchief being the bad guy now the Horde has to be all "noble and honorable" and rebel against them.

Nzall

Yeah, but this seems to be the last time. There have been multiple leaks (though on 4chan) from people calling themselves Blizzard developers, claiming they're planning on putting an end to the faction conflict next expansion, putting Baine as Warchief.

Kevin

2:29 PM

I mean... 4chan...

Nzall

yeah, but all the leaks were consistent with one another

Kevin

Could all be the same person =p

Unionhawk

I am also a blizzard developer who can confirm exactly this

and all the details work out

Nzall

they all told roughly the same things, and were from various departments, where they each knew only what their department really knows

Yuuki

@Nzall And then the expansion after that...

Nzall

2:31 PM

Like, I don't think there is a single developer on the WoW team that knows everything about the entire game, let alone one at a level that would willingly leak such things

Invader Skoodge

I hear Blizzard is going to start enforcing 2-2-2 in ranked and quickplay in Overwatch.

Yuuki

Welp, faction war again. Turns out Baine is a rabid vegetarian and begins waging a war against all other races for eating meat.

Invader Skoodge

CC @Sterno and other overwatch people

Unionhawk

I am a blizzard developer and I can also confirm this

Wrigglenite

@InvaderSkoodge And in OWL

Which is hilarious

Unionhawk

2:32 PM

also they released a video about it

Yuuki

@Wrigglenite oof

Kevin

@Yuuki and then waging war against whatever race he is for them all being meat

Invader Skoodge

@Wrigglenite Yeah, OWL and ranked are pretty much the same format I think?

I was bored of watching GOATs like 2 days into Season 2.

Yuuki

I can understand enforcing comps in competitive because people are jerks online but enforcing compositions in professional is a bit weird to me.

Invader Skoodge

So I'm all for this in OWL purely from a spectator standpoint.

Wrigglenite

2:33 PM

They had to rework Brigitte because there are no off-healers anymore

There can't be

Invader Skoodge

Oh interesting, let me try to find details of that.

Yuuki

@Wrigglenite What'd they do?

Unionhawk

I've heard OWL is moving to a homestand format which is neat

@Yuuki More passive healing, 3 charges on armor

200 shield health, from 500

That's the barrier, she didn't gain shields

Invader Skoodge

Official patch notes

Yuuki

@InvaderSkoodge So she needs to be in everyone's face to be able to heal and they nerfed her reliable heal ability?

And they nerfed her survivability move. Ouch.

Invader Skoodge

But if she ramps up it looks like she heals more.

Wrigglenite

Oh yeah and less stun RIP

Yuuki

But can she stay alive long enough to ramp up? Even though she's tankier than most healers, she was still pretty paper last I remember.

Especially since the other healers can stay back.

GnomeSlice

Dragonrage

Yuuki

I think we've scienced it multiple times since it's changed multiple times.

Dragonrage

2:40 PM

so it might have been both of you

Wrigglenite

The Overwatch patch notes always contain words like "frustrating", "oppressive", "restricting"

It's like they don't care about balance

Invader Skoodge

The goal of the Overwatch developers isn't a competitively balanced game, it's a game with massive wide appeal to try to get as many players as possible.

The OWL is essentially a huge advertisement for the game.

So focusing on player experience over absolute hero balance totally makes sense when they do "balance" patches.

Unionhawk

balance is inherently subjective anyway

Yuuki

Apparently Moira can Fade out of Earthshatter now.

Or any CC.

Kevin

Yeah, a numerically weak skill that anyone can pull of constantly can be way less fun to play with/against then a numerically strong skill that few can pull off

Unionhawk

2:43 PM

like there's no set of magic numbers that blizzard can pick and the game is perfectly balanced

Yuuki

Like being pinned or slept.

The latter of which makes absolutely no sense.

Wrigglenite

CC is unfun

Or something

Nzall

@Wrigglenite There is this WoW streamer, Asmongold, who says that every time you get CC'd by another player blizzard should refund you 10 seconds of gametime, because you can't play the game

GnomeSlice

@Yuuki Damn. Moira was OP before in my opinion

SaintWacko

Man, I haven't played Overwatch in quite a while

Yuuki

2:49 PM

@SaintWacko Same.

MBraedley

@Unionhawk And balance is highly dependent on the skill of players in a particular match. What's balanced in gold, which has the plurality of players, is different from what's balanced in bronze or plat or top 500.

Yuuki

@Nzall What about when you're not at the computer?

Nzall

@Wrigglenite That's a conscious choice

Being CC'd by another player is someone else interfering in your gameplay

Yuuki

Context: Ryze is a League of Legends character who's notorious for having a lot of reworks. His current kit has an ability that allows him to teleport all allies in a small area somewhere else on the map. Because of this, it's really hard to balance him because if his numbers are too strong, he's overpowering in professional play but he's otherwise underpowered in non-professional play because people don't coordinate well online.

I was considering using the controller because I've played over 1000 hours of monster hunter with one but fuck it... might aswell use KB+M since I use it for literally any other game

Yuuki

I wanted to play controller+mouse for MHW but the game doesn't like it.

@Ash yeah, you can usually afford to live there if you are ok with spending more than 30% of your gross salary on housing. most people do, because they have to

user15026

@Dragonrage nods

user15026

For the place I want to get in Kitchener, it would be 50% of just my income, so once WorldEngineer finds work, we'd be pretty okay. (It's a one bedroom)

Jutschge

oooookaaay nvm kb+m is awesome

Switch axe really works a lot better than hammer

Frank

I'm not sure I'd want to live in an apartment that only cost 30% of my income when I was first starting out. Only places I can think of like that were suuuuper sketchy.

user15026

Right now my place costs me 25% of my income, and it's not bad

Yuuki

8:25 PM

@Frank Of course that depends on your location and your employment.

user15026

(mind you apparently my friends think the places I pick are in "bad" neighbourhoods, inasmuch as K-W has such a thing)

user15026

@Yuuki oh yes very much so

Dragonrage

@Ash my apartment is roughly 50% of my net salary, but i just need to budget correctly and i should be fine

Frank

@Yuuki Of course. I'm thinking of my college days, and my first job.

user15026

Like 30% of min wage is MUCH different than 30% of what I know dev friends got

Yuuki

8:26 PM

Someone I know pays very little for their housing in comparison for their income but they live in a relatively rural area and work software dev remotely.

Dragonrage

since my net salary already includes paying taxes, putting money into my 401k, and putting money into my savings account

user15026

@Yuuki That makes a lot of difference, yes. If I wanted to move to a cheaper area of town, it would mean MUCH longer and more complicated transit to everything, or trying to figure out affording a car

user15026

So for me, spending more of my income on housing is preferable

Frank

First job wasn't dev. >< Couldn't find one. Had to answer phones for a couple years.

user15026

@Frank shrugs I'm still answering phones, so.

Dragonrage

8:27 PM

@Ash where my parents live, i could buy a 2 bedroom house for what it costs to buy a condo where i work :(

Frank

@Ash Sorry, wasn't anything specific. My bad.

user15026

@Dragonrage Yeaaaah, if I moved to the rural area my parents are in I could buy a GIANT place for what I'd pay here for a condo.

user15026

(I could even have a yard! But again, car, etc)

Jutschge

Surprisingly rural areas around me are more expensive when it comes to apartments. But the taxes are so much higher in cities

Frank

A lot of the studies I see going around seem to have flawed methodology; there was one that was complaining about house prices in each city, saying most people couldn't afford them.

user15026

8:30 PM

@Frank I just get irritated when people act like answering phones is menial crap labour that doesn't take any skill.

Frank

Of course, those studies also included average prices of homes of mansions and absolute top end, so of course they skewed the average.

Dragonrage

@Ash trust me, driving hours every day to work is not fun :)

Frank

@Ash Which is very understandable; my intent wasn't to imply it was a menial job, but that it wasn't a dev job.

user15026

@Dragonrage I grew up rural, so yeah, I know how unfun it can be :) I'd not do it again, cheap place or no

user15026

(I am nooooot the kind of person who can be happy in a rural area.)

Dragonrage

8:31 PM

@Wipqozn here is another one with a good php analogy

RedRiderX

@Ash I don't think back fondly on my time answering phones not because it's "unskilled" or anything, but because of the incredibly poor workplace conditions and culture.

Though I know that's specific to where I worked.

Dragonrage

my parents dont live in that rural of an area, it just doesnt have many tech jobs so housing is in much less of a demand

user15026

@RedRiderX My current one isn't like the WORST thing ever but I do look forward to someday not doing phone support. I'm working on it, slowly slowly

user15026

(I am super hoping that I can make a go-back-to-school plan I have come to fruition, because that would change everything. But right now, I just hold steady where I am at so we have household income, and go on from there.)

RedRiderX

Ah yeah that's always the catch 22

How can you spend time on a new path if your current path is what's sustaining you.

Wipqozn

8:44 PM

@Dragonrage hahaHHAHAHAHAHAHhaahaahahh holy shit

Jutschge

@RedRiderX applying to jobs you think you have no chance of getting.

user15026

@RedRiderX Once my husband has a job, we will have a bit more wiggly room

Jutschge

Getting an interview is somewhat of a luck thing but during the interview you can really do a lot

GnomeSlice

9:47 PM

@RedRiderX This pretty much

Q: Help with a minecraft slime farm (BEDROCK)

I was strolling around in a large labyrinth of abandoned mine tunnels on my Windows 10 Bedrock minecraft survival game and I found a slime chunk. I cleared the entire chunk out and lit it up below level 40, and slimes spawned for a bit, then stopped. I did some research, and found a lot of inform...

Q: Minecraft - CanPlaceOn Command

I'm currently creating an adventure map and I can't figure out how to make it so a button can only be placed on chiseled sandstone.
