Q: How do I make a loot table in Minecraft give one of several items?

DaedalusMindHow do I make a loot table in Minecraft give me one of several items? I'm setting up a data pack where every player gets a random item every ten seconds, and want it to be less resource-intensive. I want it to drop one random item every time.

 
so it seems Death Stranding is out (or all the people i see on youtube got advance review copies). anyone who was hyped for it end up getting it and can say if the hype was deserved?
 
1:01 AM
@Memor-X it's a hideo kojima game, so I would assume it's only as hype-deserving as you enjoy hideo kojima games
I really liked Phantom Pain, haven't really played the other MGS games, so I'm interested in Death Stranding, but I'm not gonna buy it until it drops in price a lot

Q: Why didn't Allen just kill Makarov at the start of No Russian?

senpaiI have never understood this seemingly major plot hole in this mission. We know a few things: Allen is an undercover spy posing as Alexei Borodin, in order to figure out what Makarov is up to Makarov and his cohorts already planned to shoot up a Russian airport. This would've been enough in m...

Q: How can I display team's dealt damage in competitive mode?

h0ch5tr4355In the past I was able to display a bar where every team member's delt damage was shown. I could do this by pressing TAB (scoreboard) and then Z. This was the default setting, but meanwhile this setting seems to be removed. I can neither find a setting to change that key nor I can display that ba...

9:29 AM
hello
 
hoi
 
how's things?
 
wharrgarbl out of 10
you?
 
5/7 🤷🏼‍♀️
 
to elaborate, this Thursday I was told I'd go to London for a conference next Wednesday
the guy I would be going with found out he wouldn't be able to go yesterday
 
9:30 AM
traveling for work sounds stressful
traveling for vacation is stressful, traveling for work sounds more stressful
 
and now I guess someone will ask tomorrow if they're happy to go take a flight the next day
IDK travel is stressful, I don't find the reason for travel to influence it much
what about you, Elise? did you work through some of your troubles yesterday?
 
@badp I had a nap, then a slightly less terrible morning, then after I put my daughter to nap, I played a game and streamed it for a friend. Initially I told him I wasn't in the mood, but then I said I'd stream the game with voice chat off, but in the end I felt better
last couple hours at work were kinda bleh, but not as bad as the night before, so that's good 🤷🏼‍♀️
 
is the discomfort with voice chat just generic discomfort with streaming your voice online like I used to have before I'd use voice chat with fronds on a daily basis
 
and I'm feeling okay right now, for now :P
 
or does it have a touch of dysphoria on top
 
9:35 AM
@badp a bit of both
 
I see
 
I never liked my voice even before realizing I was trans
 
no one likes the actual non-internal sound of their voice, if that helps
 
plus I'm terrible at small talk and such, so if I'm in a voice chat, I listen more than I speak
 
I don't know how anyone copes listening to the horrible pitch of my voice
 
9:36 AM
the secret to voice chatting is to fill the empty time with slurs, its how all the professionals do it
 
@badp if everyone heard my voice the same as I do, it wouldn't even be that bad
but if I hear a recording of me, I'm like "is this what y'all hear me as? this is terrible"
 
yup. That is an universal truth
IDK how professional singers deal with it
maybe they don't.
 
well, they sound good, that's how they deal with it
 
they still are going to sound differently from the inside than they do from the outside
 
i know that some actors don't watch their own performances, its probably similar with some singers
 
9:37 AM
yeah, but... if you record their voice and play it back, it sounds good
like, universally good
 
it won't sound good to them
because they never hear their voice like that
 
I mean, I can't relate to that, so I don't know
 
they probably are thinking "damn i didn't hit that note exactly like i wanted to"
 
some people talk so much, you'd think they love their voice tho
 
no, I just like to complain
 
9:39 AM
:P
 
my voice is just an accessory to the crime
a means to an end
 
well, you're italian, so you can delegate some of the talking to hand gestures
 
I'm actually on the lower end of the sprectrum for talking in hands
I guess having had most of my interpersonal relationships happen online hasn't helped, huh
 
yeah, I'd say 80% of my conversations happen in text
or probably more than 80%
 
yknow that can change
 
9:41 AM
eh, text is convenient
 
playing videogames with some of your coworkers is how I made a shift towards more voiced comms
 
i just lol at the teachers in my childhood who complained about my penmanship "you're not going to be able to do everything with a computer"
 
sometimes you do need to fill in forms,
 
I've been using voice chat a fair bit in the last few weeks with coworkers
Discord has made streaming games very easy and my console gamer coworker wants me to stream stuff
 
forms that are immediately input into a computer... but thats a rant for another day
 
9:42 AM
so I end up in a voice chat :x
I prefer text for most things because with voice, I don't always understand what's being said and then I have to ask to repeat and if I still don't understand, I feel dumb
 
you're just undertrained in listening
 
and I can always reference what was said earlier in text :P
 
I too after a few years of almost exclusively English communications still prefer to watch videos with subtitles
it's less effort
 
undertrained in listening and short term memory :P
honestly, I'd love to just go live in a cave for a year or two and emerge from this cocoon as a lady

Q: Is there a way to make a map be placed on a solid block?

JarcheryWell I have always wanted to know is there a way to place a map on a solid minecraft block Please tell me

 
9:46 AM
@Elise you're already a lady tho
 
turns out the cave is unnecessary
 
@GodEmperorDune I mean 🤷🏼‍♀️
it's hard to believe it myself when no one else believes it
 
also how are you going to bring two years' worth of food and water in a cocoon
 
@badp amazon
amazon doesn't deliver food here tho
 
@Elise you've got a chatroom full of people here who believe it :D
 
9:47 AM
would have to have a cocoon somewhere where amazon delivers good to
@GodEmperorDune yeah... thanks :)
 
just eat a lot of stuff like the very hungry caterpillar
 
it's not for others to believe, it's for others to accept
 
@badp this too
 
god I'm getting dejavu now
 
it's complicated when I look in the mirror and the lady that I saw the day before has turned into a man
it messes with the mind :x
 
9:50 AM
eh
I think most ladies feel like they need to wear make up for similar reasons
you just need more of it :P
 
@badp that's what ladies tell me, but I don't really agree that it's the same :x
 
@Elise i've heard dysphoria is a different thing altogether
 
@GodEmperorDune yeah, it's... not fun
 
it's not really the same, but the solution is similar
 
I wouldn't wish it on anyone
@badp the main difference is that a lady without make up is still going to be seen as a lady
 
9:52 AM
apply cosmetic changes to self until you're happy with your image
 
I have a doctor's appointment in 2 weeks, so at the very least, I'll be getting more pills, which should make me feel better 🤷🏼‍♀️
 
I can't pretend that I understand what you're going through Elise. I'm just guessing that if I can make you realize some of the coping mechanisms you're using are actually just used by literally everyone, you can feel a bit better about it
 
@badp the worst part is that I am completely aware of it all, but it doesn't help with how I feel. It just makes me feel silly for feeling bad and I know that given enough time, I should get better
 
You shouldn't feel silly for having a medical condition affect you
 
me being aware of it all is part of why I don't talk to anyone about my "problems"
 
9:56 AM
friendly reminder that mental health services are cool and good and may help with some of this as well
 
no one can really tell me anything that I don't already know and talking about my problems when I already know that the solution is basically "give it time", makes me feel like I'm just seeking attention
but I'm also fully aware that just talking and having someone to listen to me is mentally relieving
mental stuff is complicated 🤦🏼‍♀️
 
@Elise therapists have a way of directing you to realizing underlying things that may be making it worse
sometimes the different perspective itself is useful
 
@GodEmperorDune I've actually thought about seeing about getting referred to a therapist at my next appointment
just to have someone who I can tell the random stupid stuff going through my head
 
\o/ i hope its useful (if the therapy is not useful it's not you, its them and always feel empowered to find alternate therapists until you click with them)
 
I have always kinda been my own therapist, so it's hard to open up to someone else :x
 
10:03 AM
yeah i found therapy difficult too. it was also a bunch of work that i did not expect
like i would leave sessions real tired
 
@GodEmperorDune oh?
 
@Elise seeking attention is a good way to cope. Don't fight it too much
 
like, what kind of work?
 
emotional/mental work
 
I don't know if I want that, lol
 
10:04 AM
its kinda weird to explain
 
I think I understand
opening up and talking about stuff you have kept deep inside can be emotionally and mentally draining
but also good 🤔
 
yeah it was good as well
almost like a soreness after exercising
 
10:19 AM
even if how you feel and what you're going through is intuitively obvious to you, actually putting it into words can help you process it and actually understand it better
I've been through a teensy tiny bit of this when talking to my manager about the uh complicated professional relationship i have with my product owner
Just just through the act of trying to (politely) whine about the situation I'd walk away from the meeting with more clarity than I had beforehand
I guess what I'm saying is whining is good for you :p

Q: How to use OBS with Path of Diablo

Diablohi guys when i try to record or go live with path of diablo, using OBS there is only a litle window in upper left corner with the game. I try play other games with OBS no problem only path of diablo have this problem.

 
Someday I'm going to have to do some of this myself to figure out if I'm aro or just lazy or scared or whatever the hell the deal is with me. A problem more easily ignored than tackled~
first probably I need to stop making everything about myself, huh
 
10:48 AM
@badp "aro"?
@badp I think you're doing pretty good with that :P

12:44 PM
@Elise So because a certain someone isn't around, I don't mind some heavier spoilers: Jill does get less shotgun ammo, but that's because she gets the grenade launcher (Which chris doesn't get). She also has the lockpick, which allows her to open doors that chris normally needs old keys for. She also gets the shotgun earlier than chris. Additionally, there's a few fights in the map she can just completely skip (including a boss).
So for those reasons, and also the 2 extra inventory slots, is why Jill is usually considered the easier campaign.
Chris has some advantages as well, such as better at getting critical hits, being able to take more damage, gets some free heals during the campaign and (I think) one boss is easier for him as well. However, Jills advantages are usually considered better for the first time player. That said, I find the Chris campaign to be more enjoyable.
 
1:22 PM
@Wipqozn Is this for the RE2 remaster or another RE game?
 
1:50 PM
@Nzall The remake of the resident evil 1
 
2:12 PM
@Wipqozn is the lady character the harder mode in re2?
 
@Elise in Re2 I'd say they're about equal.
 
Either I remember wrong or I'm thinking of the wrong RE, but I thought I had read that picking the I'm starting to vaguely remember that maybe I was wrong and I did read that the lady character is the easiest, because I remember something about "even though the dude is the default choice you should pick the woman character for easier mode"
This is why I sent them to you and told not to fully rely on information from me, haha
Wait, I'm not even sure what I was saying originally anymore
Which one is the harder mode? 🤔 My brain got scrambled
> Elise hurt herself in confusion. It's super effective
 
@Elise there are 2 campaigns in RE 2 that overlap in places. Apparently you can make each campaign harder or easier depending on who you use
 
As someone who doesn't care about all the pokemon being included, and might not even play another pokemon game anyways, I appreciate the sacrifice all Pokemon fans have made to ensure this provides me a never ending source of drama.

@Elise not on my own, no.
 
@Ash it's great!
and quick and easy!
although my first attempt had me holding my hand under the lamp for almost 30 minutes because I was not aware gel polish stays sticky and needs to be wiped off 🤦🏼‍♀️
but it's so much more durable than regular nail polish!

Q: deferred rendering cannot be enabled in wolfenstein 2

user239928I finally got wolfenstein 2 the new colossus but technically the game is not as good as DOOM especially in the frames-per-second department. I read somewhere that activating deferred rendering might help so I tried doing that but everytime it is switched off in the options menu. Is it supposed to...

 
user15026
That's cool! I haven't gotten brave enough to try it because it felt complicated but you make it seem easier
 
@Ash it's actually super easy, because it doesn't harden until you put it under the uv light
so you don't have to rush to get it right
and each layer cures in like 60-90 seconds
I mean, maybe quicker? I did 90 just in case
I'm actually disappointed now that my thermal nail polish came in the mail and it's not gel
and the nail polish itself costs as much as regular on aliexpress (I hear you can get gel at walmart, but I haven't looked) and the tiny little uv/led usb lamp was under 2$
