giggles OMG yes that is so true
 
the real question is - how do I get my cat to give me space
he's too needy
even most dogs aren't this needy
 
Oh yeah, Apollo can be really annoying at times. Like, I love you cat, but can you please just like, let me use my hands for something other than petting you.
And I don't even mean "oh, bryan, pet him with one hand and hosue with the other"
no no I mean
"WHOA WTF. HOW DARE YOU NOT USE BOTH YOUR HANDS TO PET ME!? OH SNAP I'M COMING FOR THAT OTHER HAND!"
Oh he's a goof, and I love him, but also yes
Okay, time for a bike ride. A virtual bike ride.
I meant to dot his an hour ago, but here we are.
 
@Wipqozn i prefer fat little munchkins who actually appreciate me (aka Pugs)

2:55 AM
so, I bought my first bras today 🤗 and I used a women's washroom (because there were no family washrooms at the mall where I was)

Q: How do I extend a pulsed signal in Rec Room circuits?

EcholetaI'm looking to take a signal and extend it a short amount of time. For instance, say I have an object inside a triggerzone and I'm monitoring the output of the green pin on that triggerzone. When the object is removed, I want the signal from the green pin to persist for at least a second longer.

@badp I think I figured out why the first 2 episodes of Witcher 3 didn't have their desynced timelines work properly, and it's not exactly because the relative position of timelines is unclear. Rather, I think it's because the relation of each plot to the overarching story is unclear. It seems like the central narrative is Ciri trying to find Geralt, but then the prequel timeline relating Geralt feels like it's at the same time, and the Yennefer timeline overall isn't even related
so the central story is that Ciri tries to find Geralt, and this happens in a couple days or maybe weeks, but then the Geralt timeline jumps years at a time while you think it's parrallel, and then when the Yennefer timeline jumps in, that one also jumps around, but on top of that it doesn't really have any relation to the Ciri story. you could literally toss out the entire Yennefer storyline and you could still understand the Ciri storyline, but you can't do that with Geralt's
 
it's like
if your story needs these backflips to be told properly
maybe keep it for a season 2?
tell a simpler story in season 1 so people can get acquainted with the universe?
surely this is not the only story worth telling in that universe

11:39 AM
@badp No, but I just googled it, and the books started as a collection of short stories with that didn't get a tighter central narrative until he started making full length novels. The series is based on those short stories and AFAIK follows them quite faithfully
And then the games are actually sort of an non-canon epilogue to the books that make a number of significant changes to people, events, interpersonal relationships etc

nalkaWhat happens if my opponent stole one of my minions (using traitorious murmur for example) and I bounce it (using deported for example)?

 
@Ronan @Yuuki My cats and I beat Ascenion 4 last night with Watcher.
IT's possible I just wanted to post a picture of my cats.
Watcher is a lot of fun, but she can also be frustrating. There's so much you need to pay attention to, so it's really easy to overlook something and go "well, fuck."
I really need to shave
 
Oh hey I have that same mousemat
 
@Elva IT's a good mat
 
And I have smallworld and dominion
Oh and eldritch horror! I have no cats though
 
I've started playing Pathfinder: Kingmaker a couple days ago, but got interrupted by the new WoW patch
 
2:10 PM
@Elva I'm not a fan of small world. I looooooove Dominion though. I have, uh 10 expansions lol
 
I've got the starter thing but only ever played with the starter set of cards so no need for more expansions
 
Thaaaaat is
A lot of cards
 
@Elva That's what one of my dominion boxes looks like. I needed a storage solution aside fromt he default "carry around 11 boxes".
@Elva Yes, yes it is.
 
ponders A nice aluminium flight case? :p
 
2:15 PM
@Elva Dominion is one of those games that better and better with each expansion you buy
and your wallet gets smaller and smaller...
 
Yeah, but I'd first need to not play with new people each time :p
And I have too many board games >.>
 
@Elva Yeah, as you can tell from my shelf, I also have quite a few.
 
That's like one of my three shelves :p
 
I have a few more that aren't pictured here, but that's most of them.
 
I wanna be home so I can make pictures
They're kinda spread out over multiple places
 
2:22 PM
@Elva I never want to go beyond one shelf. I'd start selling some at that point.
I mean I say that now, anyways.

@Wipqozn Caaaats!
I wish my cat would lie off the the side like that
Instead she just sits right in front of the monitor
And depending on what I'm doing and how much danger I'm in I either pick her up and set her on my lap or pick her up and throw her off to the side
 
@SaintWacko Oh my cats do that too. That's what the younger one normally does lol

Q: Is there a way to know how much damage minions deal

Horizon Zero Dawn possibly coming to Steam in 2020: pcgamesn.com/horizon-zero-dawn/steam
Big if true
 
> It looks like Sony’s days of publishing games exclusively for PlayStation hardware may be numbered.
bit of a bold statement to make for a pc port of a 3 year old game
Seems more like a bone to toss out to people who don't have a Playstation to entice them to get a PS5 because a new Horizon is coming out.
 
I don't own a PS (never have, probably never will since there's just not as many games I'm interested in on the platform), but HZD has always interested me. If this leak is true, that would be great for me!

Ave
BAHAHAHAHA
we got L3 VERY angry
 
user15026
COntext?
 
@Ash Ave has her own ISP
sorry about that
and apparently people are using that to DDOS
 
Ave
9:44 PM
@Nzall it's not about that
@Nzall nope
@Ash There's a thing called "pixelflut"
 
ah, okay
 
Ave
Basically, it's this screen where you can change any pixel to any color. With a ping.
mpps in that picture means million packets per second
I was personally doing 2mpps
Anyways, I've had a lot of fun with this over the last few days, and so did others, just drawing stuff, optimizing code to send more packets and finding more servers to run this code on
but we never got too much past 7Gbps.
fwiw, they had a 10Gbps uplink
 
Ave
so they asked people to saturate it. What happened is that it hit 180 Gbps.
 
@murgatroid99 sword and board ftw
 
Ave
9:48 PM
which not only saturated the pixelflut, but also multiple european countries, which is amusing.
 
@Stormblessed magic is kinda weak in ds3 iirc
 
user15026
@Ave ooops
 
Early game anyway
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Some of these work, some of them are nightmare fuel.
 
Ave
@Ash yeppp
 
9:51 PM
The Knight is probably the easiest starter. Melee is really strong too but it will force you to get good at fighting. Picking a ranged class will let you inch along taking everything out at a distance but you'll struggle with bosses
 
Ave
It's really, really amusing.
I can only imagine the face on the people running this as they got the call from L3
 
I like Knight plus crossbow personally
@Ave you DDoSd countries? By accident?
@Stormblessed yeah he's fine
 
Ave
@GnomeSlice not me
but we were doing something similar to DDoS, intentionally.
that's the point of pixelflut.
Pushing as many pixels as you can
fwiw here's how it looked minutes before it died
 
That seems bad
That's like.. a lot of people affected isn't it
 
Ave
nah I mean
you "DDoS" a given IP block
which is connected to a server owned by someone who's asking for this
But uh, one thing that sometimes gets forgotten is: It's not a direct connection.
This data does flow through upstream ISPs after all (level3 in this case), and they have their own limitations.
180Gbps isn't a lot, fwiw, it shouldn't cause as many issues as it did, not to level of "saturating backbone in 3 european countries".
36c3 had a 500Gbps uplink.
 
9:59 PM
Did a bunch of people like lose their internet?
 
Ave
No
 
Whew
 
Ave
What likely happened is that they were slowed down, and were likely routed through somewhere else until all the spam stopped
 
user15026
10:14 PM
@Ave That did surprise me, because for an ISP, that's not huge, or at least it shouldn't be
 
10:52 PM
@Ash depends on how big the countries are. Anything Western European would be fine, but depending on where the Pixelflut is hosted, 180 Gbps might be enough to saturate smaller European countries like Croatia, Chechiya or Chzech Republic
 
user15026
Well, it doesn't matter how big the countries are, it matters more what their infrastructure looks like, which has no bearing on actual size of the place.
 
@Ash yeah, i know, but I mean that generally smaller countries have smaller infrastructure. You wouldn't have a terabit backbone for a country like Kosovo, for example
 
addendum to the above:
 
user15026
You'd be surprised.

@Ash Georgia, Greece and Armenia, all European countries, have average internet speeds that are roughly comparable to Turkey. However, those speeds are only about a quarter of most of Europe
 
user15026
shrug
 
11:21 PM
@Nzall small countries are more likely to have better infrastructure because it's much cheaper to upgrade a smaller infrastructure
many of the countries with fastest internet in the world are all geographically small countries
 
@Elise Hmm, might have something to do with density
 
@PrivatePansy probably, because lower costs to upgrade, higher return due to more potential users per square meter
but upgrading infrastructure in a geographically small country requires a smaller upfront investment
 
user15026
nods
 
user15026
It's one of the things we struggle with here, because outside of cities, people are so spread out that getting good internet to all the places is hard and expensive.
 
user15026
Like...the whole reason companies like the one I work for exist is to cover where conventional DSL/VDSL/cable/fibre internet is prohibitively expensive for anyone to want to put in
 
11:29 PM
we have fiber in our town, but like, my friend lives in this community about 10km from our town and all they can get is LTE internet, because no one is going to run cables to there for a community of like 50 people
although they can get landline, which, correct me if I'm wrong, should allow them to have DSL?
or at least adding DSL to the landline shouldn't be overly expensive, since the cables are already in the ground?
 
user15026
If the DSL lines are there, theoretically
 
user15026
Landline does not automatically mean DSL, though
 
I mean, is there a difference between DSL lines and landline phone lines?
@Ash that's what I wasn't sure of
I wasn't sure if you use the same cables for it and just add extra tech on both ends or if it's a different cable
 
user15026
Like there's no difference, in the cable, but you need the rest of the infrastructure
 
would that infrastructure need to be dug up and added or is it just like, upgrading the modem on both ends, so to speak?
 
user15026
11:33 PM
You need DMARCs along the way
 
user15026
because DSL degrades over distance
 
user15026
so you need to be x distance from the service hub bits
 
user15026
(I don't know as much about it as we just resell)
 
@Ash ah, makes sense
wasn't sure if phones already needed something like that or not
but it makes sense that internet has "higher" requirements :)
 
user15026
nods it does, yes, because of how the information is transmitted and stuff.
 
11:35 PM
their community is kinda next to the highway though, so I imagine adding the stuff needed for DSL shouldn't be a huge investment
I'm sure they've calculated the potential profits though
 
user15026
Oh yeah, they likely have

@Elise Indeed.
 
on a completely unrelated note - cheap bras kinda suck
I got two and one is a push up, so the cups are a little closer and that one is great, but the other one I got is regular and it digs into my armpits >.<
and I have no idea if this is appropriate for this chat, feel free to delete if it's not, lol
 
user15026
Bras are, unfortunately, often very you get what you pay for :(
 
so I've heard :x
 
As the self appointed chairperson of this chat, I'll allow it
 
👍🏼
@Unionhawk are you made of chairs or just in charge of them?
 
user15026
11:44 PM
Why not both?
 
Both would make more sense, as chairs would probably be more inclined to listen to and respect someone who's also a chair (or multiple)
and I am basing that on completely zero data
 
user15026
It's a sound theory, I think.
 
@Elise no, they just like chairs, so they are a chairperson, similar to a cat person
 
cat person or catperson tho?
