lol that was a fun interaction
I found a free ashen key on an outpost, but it wouldn't let me buy an ashen chest voyage
so I just went out and found some solo sloop and gave it to them after convincing them that it was actually real and safe

Q: Which of the player's actions trigger a replay in Worms Armageddon?

Sashko LykhenkoIn Worms Armageddon some of the player's actions may trigger an instant replay of what had happened a moment earlier. What is the exact algorithm that decides when to show a relpay?

Hi. Anyone knows why it has mentioned DDR3, GDDR5 for a graphic card (940mx)?
I mean why 2 types of memory technologies in single card?
08:23
@Vikas AFAIK the 940 MX has part of their memory shared with the CPU, which is the DDR4 part
Or rather, the other way around: the CPU memory is shared with the GPU
That's a common way to save money on laptop GPUs: use part of the dedicated RAM on the machine as GPU memory
09:11
So it would be strange them mentioning it GDDR5 or DDR3? Since the laptop has DDR4 memory.
09:43
@Vikas DDR memory is cross-generation compatible for the purpose of GPU RAM sharing.
DDR generation pretty much is mostly relevant for your motherboard and CPU
Ok
I had a chat with NVIDIA customer care. They said his GPU was release in two variants. One was DDR3 and other was GDDR5. That's why 2 memories are mentioned.
oh yeah, that's also it
CPU-Z shows I have GDDR5 variant
10:29
@Vikas Yeah, the GDDR5 variant is for more expensive devices with dedicated VRAM. the DDR3 variant is for budget devices
Cool

Man, there has been a severe paucity of stars lately
@SaintWacko Not really though? There's an average of 2-3 stars per week, and the week isn't over yet
Now, if you want, I could say something witty that can be starred
14:52
@Nzall Psh, you young whippersnapper! In my day we had multiple stars per day!

@Unionhawk later on I found someone hauling a reaper's bounty who was clearly chasing me so I bailed since I had nothing and they followed it into a volcano lol
I found them again at an outpost, crashed them, then swam to the bottom of the ocean and scuttled
@Unionhawk Haha, nice
You can just hide treasure for later now apparently
like in the ground not in a bush
I had one time I was being chased by a galleon in my sloop, so I piled all my treasure into my rowboat, ducked behind an outpost and dropped off in the rowboat, hid near shore til they passed, then went ashore and sold as they chased down my empty ship
@Unionhawk Yeah, you can bury it, and then somehow generate a treasure map that you can post in an outpost for people to grab!
15:58
@SaintWacko Yeah back in the day if there was something a day old in the starred list it was very unusual
@Wipqozn Kids these days just don't understand

Q: Is it possible to get angle of sun to a block in minecraft

DialFrostMinecraft has shadows in some of the shaders, and the shadows are obviously created via the positon of the sun or by timing. So is there a way to actually get this angle of elevation from the ground of specific coordinates to the sun? Or, is it possible to get the shadow length of a block?

oh god the nightmare refactor
we're refactoring a property with 420 references for business need
@Unionhawk Blaze it
plus I assume there are more on the underlying field
probably
Also, I'm currently in the process of replacing some old ass garbage nightmare technology the company bought 6 months ago.
Doing it piecemeal, but so far what we've built in 2 weeks is far, far superior than the thing we bought.
My understanding is that the company we bought it from had super high turn over, so devs would leave and come constantly... and every new hire didn't understand what shit existed, so they just tired to build around it. OFten in a different language.

NEW: Activision Blizzard announces all US based QA testers will be converted to full time employees, access to full benefits, and a hourly wages increase to minimum $20/hr.

Statement from the company + internal email: https://t.co/SWsD8aKfAW
Likely in an attempt to stop them from voting to form a union, but still great news
