@Wipqozn I just don't understand how so many companies (ISP's and TV bundles etc) can give all these offers to new customers, but loyal customers get shit
phone carriers don't seem to do that, but others do
there should be a price match option for phone carriers, lol
unless there's a catch, I can get S10+ from Rogers for less money upfront ($0) than the price of S10 ($219.99) from Bell and save money on monthly bill

Q: Minecraft launcher crashing without giving me a crash report?

user235479Alright so, I am trying to boot up minecraft, 1.7.10. I have forge and alot of other mods. it crashes when I start it up then says "game crashed sorry for the inconvenience" It doesn't give me a crash report so I don't know what the problem is anyone know what the problem is?

@Elise They're banking on you thinking it's too much trouble to switch.
@Frank I know and it is a lot of trouble, but I'm seriously considering it
@Elise Yeah, you should.
I think here, the two main ISPs have six month promotions, so some people make a career out of switching twice a year.
If you call them up and say you'll switch if you don't get the promo rate, it's an even chance they'll just give it to you for another few months.
Not sure how it is where you're at.
unfortunately, for ISP's we only have Bell and Rogers here and Rogers is absolute garbage and tbh, Bell lowered our monthly cost by 10$ for no reason and we're paying less for more speed than the equivalent package has
so, as an ISP, Bell is pretty good around here it seems
Yeah, so Bell figures they have you over a barrel, because no competition.
00:34
I mean, Rogers is more competitive price wise but their service and reliability is garbage
as an ISP, I am very satisfied with Bell
as a mobile carrier tho...
@Elise Bell doesn't have to know that. Just tell them that Rogers has better prices, so you're thinking of switching.
Unless you already did that.
like I said, Bell as an ISP does somewhat reward loyalty
my internet speed is faster than the package that we are paying for and last year they called and lowered our monthly bill by 10$ just for being loyal customers
it's my phone that I am having an issue with right now
the mobile plan we have is not available anymore and not eligible for a phone upgrade. The equivalent plan is 20$ more for a total of 125$/mo and I still have to pay over 200$ upfront for S10 or 350$ for S10+
and it seems that Rogers is offering me S10+ with nothing upfront for 115$/mo
the only reason why switching could be complicated is that we have 2 numbers on the account, one being the fancy expensive one and the other is mine, 40$ with shared data from the other number. If I can get the 115$ plan from Rogers and something for 40$ or less for 2nd line, we'll be switching
Ouch. Neither of those seem all that affordable.
$120/month for phone seems crazy high.
@Frank it's actually $75 for 10gb data and unlimited nationwide minutes and texts and 40$ for 2 years for the phone
Bell is even more expensive
if I could afford to pay off a nice phone upfront, I'd probably do that and get the cheapest plan
tbh if my phone screen wasn't cracked, I'd probably do that, but I really want a new phone, lol
@Ash have you played it before or just now?
It's great!

🛬
Pretty well thought out response. Good read for those who may have a problem with the epic store
@Unionhawk craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaashiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing uni?
> Epic offered the studio a minimum guarantee on sales “that would match what we’d be wanting to earn if we were just selling Ooblets across all the stores,” which takes the looming existential uncertainty associated with modern game development off the table. This also means the game’s two-person development team can hire an additional programmer and “ramp up our development resources,”
That's a big deal for a small team
@Sterno hue
@Kevin the arriving aircraft emote clearly has gear down
Yeah, I don't blame any devs for taking the terms Epic offers; the odds of becoming a breakout megahit are probably lower (not that they're actually good on other platforms), but it also eliminates the much larger chance that no-one will see your game and you'll starve.
11:21
also no see:

@ToxicFrog I don't blame any small devs for taking them
That said, "you're not allowed to be upset about [thing] because you should be spending all of your emotional energy on [other, more important thing]" is always bullshit and they should have omitted that paragraph.
@Kevin even if you're a big dev, it's a pretty appealing deal for any game that doesn't have a large existing fanbase you're confident will buy it. You're just more likely to be able to survive the loss if you decide to roll the dice anyways.

if it's any consolation apparently their discord is a fucking trash fire lol
How is that a consolation?
IMO any blame here rests entirely with Epic (for leaning entirely on exclusives at the expense of adding actual features to the store or launcher) and Steam (for letting things get bad enough that what Epic is doing works in the first place)
Year I'm glad out there somewhere toxic people are being toxic
@Unionhawk it...really isn't?

i.e. negative criticism?
Epic just needs to hire some storefront devs. From what I understand their entire Dev team is working on fortnite nonstop

Ave
They have the money to hire people
they have money to solve the crunch problem
Yeah, they would have time to work on the store if they hired more people and worked them reasonable hours
Ave
Ave
for indie devs where there's a limited budget I can understand a lot of crunch happening (but am still against it), but for epic? a company that makes millions every day? They can easily afford many, many more devs.
But that cuts into profits and we can't be having that
Ave
Ave
11:37
activision-blizzard did the same with support staff
fired hundreds of people even though they made massive profits
to present said profits as higher than they actually are
My guess is epic needs new office facilities
Ave
Ave
11:53
remote workers exist
@Ave Just wanted to drop in here and say that AB actually fired those people because they were looking a fiscal year with a markedly lower revenue, because Blizzard doesn't release a full game this year
So they fired those people not to present profits as higher, but rather to prepare for a fiscal year with less income
@Nzall this seems like a distinction without a difference? They still get revenue (from subscriptions, back catalogue, etc), firing people reduces expenses much more than it reduces revenue (in the short term, anyways), so their reported profit is greater than it would be otherwise.
Also they still paid their C level people in bonuses more then those people they fired
And also they started re-hiring for the same jobs months later
@ToxicFrog Not exactly. During their earnings call, they gave their earnings for the fiscal year 2018, which were very high, and the wages they paid for those people were for FY 2018. For FY 2019, they expected far lower earnings based on the declining userbase for Blizzard games and the lack of a major Blizzard release, and apparently they though the best way to compensate was layoffs
@Nzall but didn't it get revealed that Activision has paid nothing in tax?
12:05
In Belgium, we have a special regulation for what's known as "conjunctural unemployment", where you're technically still employed, but you don't go to the office, you don't do any work and you get a replacement income based on how many hours you didn't work. However, I don't think the locations where Blizzard employs people have such a system
@Memor-X I think that's rockstar?
@Kevin ahhh my bad then
But actiblizzard probably pays roughly the same negative amount of taxes..
Essentially, AB during FY19 has a situation where they didn't need as many staff in supporting rolls like QA and CS, and at the same time had less income due to lower player counts and a lack of released games. For them, the economically most sound way to deal with that was to fire people and then rehire for those same positions a couple months later
Because if you don't need to pay 800 people for 3 months, that's a major savings
Again, I think it's scummy too and they should have found a different way to deal with it, but I can somewhat understand their logic
@Nzall "didn't need as many staff in supporting rolls like QA" yep, we'll see if cutting Quality Assurance will make Diablo Immortal a better game. or if they're just going to throw Early Access on it
12:15
Hmm because firing all the experienced people who are good at their job is a great long term solution when you need to re-hire them two months later
@Kevin It's not long-term. They're looking at ways to save money in FY 2019
Also, I looked it up. You're incorrect on something
They had record revenues that year...
I think T&E did a video explaing it pretty well but I can't find it atm
That's also why those million dollar bonuses are irrelevant, because those are both based on 2018 income and paid for by 2018 profits
If you have so much money you can pay million dollar bonuses... why do you need to fire people?
12:18
@Kevin yeah, that's what I said. They had record revenue in 2018, but they were forecasting far lower revenue for 2019
Note: I am assuming we're not all amoral scum
@Kevin Because bonuses aren't actually costs, they're made based on profit from what I remember from 11th grade bookkeeping classes.
So those bonuses would be part of fiscal year 2018 and as such it wouldn't matter for 2019 whether they were paid or not
2019 would still have the same costs regardless of whether they paid those bonuses or not
"Oh hey, I'm already rich beyond what I can spend in this lifetime, I'm ostensibly responsible for this business's well being, let's cut this years bonus and instead not fire people"
There, problem solved, assuming you're not amoral scum
@Kevin I'm sure those millions of dollars didn't wander into the pocket of the board but also a lot of normal workers. (Idk how blizzard does it but that's how most companies work)
Cutting bonuses for every employee isn't much better.
@Jutschge I am talking about just the bonus of the CEO. One person www1.salary.com/…
12:23
@Kevin yeah but cutting that won't really pay 800 employees
30 million will pay for 800 employees for a year. Also reminder: They're re-hiring for the same positions about half a year later (said two months earlier, was wrong)
Besides, it's not like they're running a loss...
@Kevin It's not that easy. For starters, those bonuses are meant as a reward for a well completed fiscal year, so taking them away isn't that easy. Beyond that, the way double bookkeeping works is that it's not really possible to transfer profit from one year to next year's revenue, at least if I remember high school bookkeeping properly
Who said anything about taking? The CEO, the person responsible for the welfare of the company can just not accept them
Not "Somebody else takes the bonus from the CEO" but "The CEO returns the bonus"
or take a cut themselves like Nintendo's did
Nintendo's chief executives have done it two years in a row now
12:27
I don't really see Bobby Kotick refusing a bonus
I don't see anyone refusing a bonus tbh
Yeah, I'm still working on the assumption of not being amoral scum
People have done it
@Jutschge see: Nintendo
Reminder: They're the one procent, money is already basically irrelevant
This is not some middle class person refusing a bonus
@Kevin here is the thing though: that 30 million dollar bonus is a cost for 2018, not 2019. That's just 30 million that was removed from the bank account and moved to dividends, essentially. If that wasn't paid out, it wouldn't have reduced the costs for 2019
12:30
I don't see the relevance
Also I don't see how you're amoral scum if you take your bonus (no matter how large) if you're successfully running one of the biggest gaming companies in the world
And this was all about reducing costs for 2019 so investors would be placated
"Hey, instead of me, the CEO, taking the decision to fire 800 people, I am instead going to not accept this bonus/return this bonus and not fire 800 people."
@Kevin The relevance is that Blizzard would have lower revenue in 2019 regardless of whether Kotick got his bonus or not. And they needed to compensate for that lost revenue somehow in the fiscal year 2019.
Yeah, they got a bunch of money to spend on wages for that year, done
12:32
and you can't do that by cutting a bonus in 2018
@Kevin those would still have been costs through, reducing profit
Except the money they got would be revenue
Because math
@Kevin Revenue in 2018
Nope
Just earmark it for 2019, done
Not an issue
you can't do that
Why not?
12:33
that's not allowed in bookkeeping
Why?
points to the fact that it's already done before by Nintendo
there are rules for double bookkeeping: at the end of the year, you put whatever profits you made towards 1 of 3 goals: downpayments on loans, dividends, or monetary reserves. After that, you close the fiscal year and revenues and profits start counting again. Nintendo did end up taking lower profits that year too
But Activision does whatever it can to appease shareholders, and they mostly care about profits
Sooooooooo, what ya do is: You take the money last day of 2018, then, first day of 2019 you pay the money so as not to have to fire people
@Kevin That's not possible
@Nzall friendly reminder that I'm still working on the assumption that we're not amoral scum
@Nzall except it's been done so it clearly is
Also note: They're still very profitable
12:38
@Kevin Nintendo didn't do it in the way you think though. Miyamoto or Iwata or whoever it was took a paycut as well, not just a bonus cut
Same difference
You know there's are some things between being selfless and being amoral scum...
You can expect people to not be amoral scum but you can't expect people to be selfless
There is a difference though. The bonus cut that the CEO took was for a fiscal year that was already meager due to the failure of the Wii U, and the years after didn't seem like they'd be any better, so he took a paycut for those years too
And both of those did have an impact on the costs for the relevant fiscal year
And yes, in this case Bobby Kotick could have taken a paycut for the fiscal year 2019, but he didn't, and that was mainly because of a cultural difference between the USA and Japan
13:19
Oh, Wii U. You sad beautiful creature
14:08
@Nzall That cultural difference being a major misunderstanding of the narrative of the 1987 film Wall Street.
@Nzall Well, Blizzard's outlook doesn't look much better for the next year or so. I don't think they have anything in the pipeline other than Diablo Immortal, right?
@Yuuki 2019 has nothing. 2020 should have Diablo Immortal and the next WoW expansion, assuming it's not delayed
@Nzall This expansion isn't done yet, is it? I imagine there's at least two raids left: N'Zoth and Sylvanas. Although I suppose Blizzard could shaft the Horde yet again by not only making the Warchief the bad guy but also not even give them raid end boss status.
@Yuuki There is only 1 more raid, in Nya'lotha, and from what I heard Sylvanas is the end boss somehow
Haven't followed the wow story lately... did they go full Garrosh on Sylvanas?
From what I've heard, yep.
14:18
Fun... I really liked her...
So that means one of three things: N'Zoth isn't the end boss (and we fight him in the next expansion or something), N'Zoth possesses Sylvanas so they're both technically the end boss, or now we have an Old God who isn't an end boss.
All three of those kinda suck.
Afaik the undead can't be possessed
Or did they change that too?
@Jutschge Who knows with Old Gods. Plus, I wouldn't put it past Blizzard to ignore their previous canon to screw over the Horde/Sylvanas some more.
Yeah... Well let's hope that the next expansion gets some better writing
Well, supposedly it should be the "good" expansion. Some devs do A-B testing, Blizzard does A-B development.
14:23
Hm I just hope they add tinkers as a class
If there's an engineer-ish class in a fantasy game i'll always play it (and I'm mad that WoW doesn't have it)
I'd like a hero class that can off-spec as healer.
Both Death Knights and Demon Hunters are tank/melee DPS classes.
14:36

@GnomeSlice Yep, the "quirkless" guy originally had the power to pass along his (otherwise non-functional) powers to someone else. But by granting him the addition ability to get stronger over time, the One For All quirk was created and could be passed along to multiple people.

my tinder experience is mostly just chasers
I don't know what that means
17:59
@GnomeSlice trans chasers, people who deliberately want to date a trans woman because of the concept or something like that
Like, they mostly wanna do it for the sex, I understand
at least, that's what Google told me
Isn't that good?
Slate has an article on it: slate.com/human-interest/2014/10/…
@GnomeSlice It seems like a form of objectification.
it's when you want to date a transgender person because you have an unhealthy sexual obsession with having male genitals on a female body
idk if I agree sexual preferences of others should be labelled unhealthy
unless you're like a pedophile or something

@Nzall it's not necessarily because of concept

@GnomeSlice it is like when you neglect the rest of a healthy relationship, like common interests, your partner's interests, treating each other with common decency, wanting her to stop taking hormones because they have side effects you don't like,...

ookay I can't find it, it's probably in my archives but w/e
anyways: it's usually for genitalia. They only care about your genitalia and objectify you based on that.
That alone is bad, but the fact that many trans people are uncomfortable with their genitalia makes it worse.
As you're being reduced to a part of you that you hate.
don't hate anything about yourself
Ave

On top of this it hurts our visibility as people end up thinking that it's just a sex thing (as they ignore our struggles and simply sexualize us), which is a thing that hurts social progress and actually contributes to some if not most trans murders.
Sorry you've had those experiences though. Sounds tough
18:09
@GnomeSlice I don't think it's really up to you to say this about someone else, sorry
@Wrigglenite I just think it's a good thing to strive for in general

@GnomeSlice that's the aim ^^
Tinder may not be the best choice for you though

that's why people have srs.
So that they don't hate anything about themselves.
I mean I do it because it's fun, personally

I know that it's a bit hard to even think about.
also, listening to this discussion about Tinder Chasers, it makes me somewhat uncomfortable since it makes me realize that if I'm not careful, I might end up like one too if I ever got into the dating scene
Ave
Ave
it is somewhat like that for me, as I don't hate hate my genitalia (but do think that I'd be happier if I got SRS).
18:14
@Ave Are there also trans women who don't feel like they should get SRS?
Ave
Ave
However at least one of my partners is extremely dysphoria and can't even stand seeing her genitalia. And fwiw we already booked her SRS.
@Nzall there's a lot of no-srs people.
Like, that you feel like a women mentally, but you also like the male genitals you were born with?
@Nzall Dating is going to involve uncomfortable or awkward situations no matter what you do, don't add a worry about what other people think about you on top of that. Don't feel bad about your preferences either, if you have specific ones.
@Ave "one of"? I thought you were monogamous?
Attraction is an important part of any relationship. Vital, even. As much as emotional connection

@Nzall well I, hm. I don't really look at my current genitalia as male genitalia ig? While physically it's the same thing, it functions differently.
@Nzall I've been poly for a couple years now.
ah, okay, didn't know that

@Nzall I'd say that unless you objectify people it's fine
or if asking me what's in my pants isn't one of your first messages
@Ave Some people are on tinder just for sex
Ave

my profile clearly says that I'm not in tinder just for sex.
@Ave well people need to learn to read, lol
Hardly anyone ever read my profile I feel
18:20
@Ave I mean, true, that's not what you're supposed to do, but I also feel like it's important that people are open and honest about themselves and don't e.g. hide they're trans because they're worried it might invite chasers or scare people away

Q: What's this black box?

QuijiboIt's been a few times already that I stumbled upon this black box with an eye on it: I have no idea what it is. It appears as a small black square on the map, it is probably indestructible, and also pretty spooky. I've tried to destroy it in many ways: Punching it Stabbing it Shooting it wit...

I'm usually really honest with people on tinder because nobody likes to waste time. If I am not what they are looking for then there's no point in us continuing

also lol
tinder gives me this when I open it
When I was in an open relationship I didn't really mind spelling out my situation and what I was looking for to avoid any confusion with any potential matches
Some people were like 'that's fucked' and unmatched me. Well, whatever, wasn't going to go anywhere anyway in my view

Q: Is there any way to increase your permanent health in terraria?

Beasty_TurtleI’ve noticed in a YouTube video that a guy had full diamond hearts. I don’t know if it was a temporary potion or if he used something to permanently increase his health. I mean after using life crystals and life fruits.

Q: What are the blue numbers on the character's stats screen?

hammythepigMy Petra is an assassin, doing a very good job of her role. While looking at her stats, I noticed some of them have blue text, rather than black text, notably her speed and defense. At first I thought, that must be the max stat this class can get. However when I went into battle she leveled up...

@Nzall @Jutschge Wait, are the dragons becoming relevant in the lore again?
@Yuuki They already are, actually. The backstory of the Heart of Azeroth in 8.2 requires you to go and help each of the dragonflights

@Yuuki @Nzall stop making me want to play WoW again :(
I almost have a life now
My dad said Hi Mike as soon as I walked in. I'm the first person he's referred to by name

And I saw him smile a couple times and chuckle
@Jutschge I feel like I'm listing reasons to not play WoW.
I asked him if he's having a hard time understanding what's going on and he said yes but my dad is definitely making progress
I can tell he's frustrated by the experience
@GnomeSlice aww
20:48
I cried really hard suddenly in front of everyone and dad said "it's okay"
And he was talking quite a bit in general in response to questions
I don't think he can form his own questions or initiate dialog except for the hi Mike
Yet
I think the concept of time is escaping him a bit and he couldn't remember if he had seen my sister (if he even knew who I was talking about)
21:12
That's some fantastic progress @GnomeSlice. Makes me really happy to hear that.
Additionally, on a completely unrelated note, I miiiiiight play The outer Wilds this weekend.

Q: Is competitive Fortnite cross-platform?

DJGI’m aware that fortnite can be played cross-platform. Does the primary/official eSports format feature cross-platform play?

I have learned where the name "red rabbits" comes from (NYC DSA's Marshal team). The packet has a watership down quote which kicks ass:
> All the world is your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and when they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you.... Be cunning and full of tricks and your people will never be destroyed
