@Sterno ?
 
Lifehack: get your reputation to a nice round number simply by deleting your account
 
@badp wat
 
No number is rounder than 0.
FACT.
 
What about the number o?
 
So basically, the only winning choice is to not play?
 
2:16 PM
@twobugs No, but it's the winningest.
@KevinvanderVelden Bad char constructor
 
There is no word I hate more than "winningest", and any attempts to introduce a word I hate more will be met by mild amusement.
 
@twobugs "Winningiest".
 
@twobugs Racism. That's worse.
 
@Arperum the word isn't though, just the thing
 
@KevinvanderVelden I find it sad that such a word even has to exist :(
 
2:18 PM
@Yuuki You monster. This is horrible.
 
@twobugs I am the King of Dictionary and you are Most Welcome.
You are welcomest.
 
My grammar and elocution, they are flawless.
 
@badp is that considered a dictionary attack?
@GnomeSlice FOR DUCK SHAKE!
 
@Powerlord He didn't delete, but he's never on Meta anymore
 
One day I'll remix my avatar with Flowey. badpey will keep you awake for weeks on end
 
2:22 PM
@twobugs Winningestical
 
Nobody except those who've played undertake even know what Flowey is
Undertake
Ducking

DUCKING UNDERTAKE
 
It's a seller of carwash products: flowey.com/professional-products
 
I need to get Undertale. It sounds really good.
 
No its a flower thing

@GnomeSlice Fine by me. (third picture you posted)
You will learn. (first picture you posted)
 
It's all one picturesque
Wtf

I give up
Time to get off the bus anyway

14 review tasks remaining
 
</taskpocalypse>
the taskpocalypsest event in recenter history
 
Apparently SF started the taskpocalypse with 3.2k additional review tasks
I wonder what they're at now
 
We should have left it at 69 pending reviews.

Q: Legend of Zelda Series

ChaaldnoxI played lots of Legend of Zelda games on an emulator and never really enjoyed them. I know games like Ocarina of Time are good, but I need something for a gameboy emulator. Don't know any good ones.

-2
Q: Pokemon Roms (Fan-made)

ChaaldnoxI played lots of fun pokemon roms. Some real and some fan-made. Light Platinum was definitely my favorite because of the pokemon choices, story, and grinding is kind of easier for me in it. I already beat the game twice, and want to know any other games as good as this one. Ruby is also my favori...

 
@KevinvanderVelden i declare this the winner
 
Hmm, we switched to agile a while ago, now I kinda want my boss to ask me what I think of agile so I can respond "I don't know, I've never used agile"
Cause seriously, this is not agile this isn't anything planned
 
when one of my previous companies tried to do agile (and did everything to @uni levels of wrong), we called it "FRagile"

@GodEmperorDune If I were to work here for long enough to witness "smart working" I'd have joked harder about the alternative, "start working"
 
3:10 PM
Just another day at UD. https://twitter.com/zachsnyder22/status/649225580982988804
 
hooray for NIMBY
 
Presented without comment
 
@Unionhawk thanks Obama.
Batman casually riding a bike around campus screaming motivational sayings. Gotta love UD. http://t.co/st2N3GUpco
and I can't see that. Thanks Obama.

worsting intensifies
 
3:12 PM
@badp I prefer "Thanks Orbán" nowadays.
 
The image is precisely what the description is, if you're actually unsure
 
@Unionhawk -1 not enough screaming. I was expecting a vine or something.
 
That would be better
 
why is the tweet presented thusly.
the worsting pile doesn't stop getting taller
 
Honestly, no idea
 
3:14 PM
NOPE. NOPE NOPE NOPE.
 
worsting levels critical
 
ALL OF THE NOPE
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't know, could be interesting
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Why 3 pictures of the same flavor? No wild berry?
 
THE LAND OF TEN THOUSAND NOPES
 
3:15 PM
@StrixVaria pop tarts are mandatory
 
@badp You do realize that there's more than one flavour of pop tarts, right?
 
Pop Tarts Vodka are a total nope.
 
@MBraedley There were but pop tarts are now mandatory.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'd have this before I have vodka-infused whipped cream again.
 
@StrixVaria wat
 
3:17 PM
... of course we do, why not? We have a PasInValidReason and a PasInvalidReason
 
There is no possible reality that brown sugar cinnamon vodka could be passable
 
@twobugs Imagine something with the texture of whipped cream but the taste of vodka.
 
No thanks, I haven't puked yet today and I'd like to keep it that way.
 
@KevinvanderVelden We have plenty of duplicate classes in completely different packages and partially overlapping fieldsets

Q: Detect river when moving troops?

Menno GouwIs there any good indication to see when you are crossing rivers or is this only shown visually on the map itself? Take London and Bedfort for example, is there a river in between those counties? There is on starting in the middle of Bedfort but it lies behind it's city. If there is no river th...

 
@KevinvanderVelden Do they do the same thing, or is PasInValidReason just a typo for PassInValidReason?
 
I can't actually tell, as far as I can see PasInValidReason is never declared anywhere, just used
 
@StrixVaria close up of my "1 Days Since Last Puke" sign, the 1 begins to shake wildly
 
@KevinvanderVelden This reminds me of the time I deleted a private unreferenced class variable in my old job's code base, and then everything broke. Because reflection!
 
3:20 PM
@StrixVaria that looks both terrible and delicious
 
@GodEmperorDune Just the former.
 
@StrixVaria yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay reflection
Okay I'm done for the day, I give up
 
i remember when I "fixed" a misspelled variable name ... then i found out that it was misspelled in pretty much every file in the entire codebase
 
Ugh why is career services so far
 
@Unionhawk to make you work to get a job... lazy ingrate
 
3:22 PM
@Unionhawk It's projected jobwards
 
@StrixVaria Isn't reflection fun?
 
Stupid... Federal government making me fill out tax and work authorization forms
 
@Unionhawk They're projecting you jobwards.
 
@Powerlord It's fun to play with; it's awful to maintain. It's kind of like regexes in that way.
 
Ugh... Please no more paperwork problems
 
3:36 PM
verbose regexps
@Unionhawk CAN YOU FEEL THE JOBWARDS ACCELERATION
 
No
 
Please thrust yourself more forcefully towards the paperwork
this is your life now.
 
Welp
 
....
I finished that over the weekend.
I started a genocide run after. But I could not find the heart to actually push it through once I got to Undyne again.
 
3:42 PM
@MadMAxJr That's exactly where I am right now.
Maximum overddr
 
Undyne the Undying is significantly challenging but I can't. I don't think I want to do that.
 
Well something being challenging is a welcome difference from the rest of the run honestly
 
Yes, but I felt really bad about the whole thing. Not sure I'm physically heartless enough to actually carry it out.
 
(although the extra health means it's probably easier than regular Undyne)
@MadMAxJr isn't that the whole point
 
Hah. Noooo. Undyne hits for 10~15 hp per shot in that mode.
About 4 misses will end it for you.
 
3:44 PM
Yeah, but you have 80, instead of 20.
I think that once you adjust for the higher max HP the actual relative damage might be about the same, except you can't plead, but pleading didn't do a WORLD of difference anyway.
 
@MadMAxJr I've got an icecream scoop here somewhere, we can get that heart problem sorted out
 
I got enough out of it on pacifist. My only regret is that the soundtrack really needed to have the music loop twice so it's not just a pile of one minute tracks.

Q: Logitech G13 changes LCD automatically, can it change the profile automatically, too?

T.J.L.I am currently using a Logitech G13 to play Star Trek Online. Without any action on my part, the G13 seems to be aware of wether I am playing on a surface map or a space map. On surface maps, I get a health bar and a shield bar; in space, it shows a hull bar, plus four separate shield bars - one ...

 
I turned to youtube to see how genocide plays out. Sans. Oh god Sans.
 
@MadMAxJr Did you manage to carry out room service? find Tammy? the "secret boss"?
@MadMAxJr spoilers ~
 
3:47 PM
I did room service to the two that state what they want. That last door, I couldn't do. And the one that doesn't respond, I don't know how to interact with it.
 
No more paperwork
Inb4 more paperwork
 
@MadMAxJr nice, I never found any of the items they wanted.
 
They are shop items from snowdin and waterfall.
 
I guess I missed a whole bit earlier
okay then I guess I just forgot
 
The one that doesn't say what he wants requires solving the piano.
And the one that is just locked, I have no idea.
 
3:49 PM
@MadMAxJr oh? I have asked and answered the relevant question on the site
I guess that's what it was for.
 
Solving the piano gets you dog residue. Sometimes it gives you 'dog salad'. Slide that under the last door.
 
so if you aren't lucky, reload the save file?
 
Well, dog residue can work on an endless loop if you use it right.
it fills your backpack, check contents, if only residue, empty all but one, repeat.
 
Clearly I need to stash my genocide run savefile and start the pacifist run anew
I wish the game had a main-menu-unlockable boss rush honestly
 
Hey! HEY! What's with the spoilers for a brand new game?
 
3:56 PM
Dude. Take your spoiling spoilers to a separate chat. scowly face
 
THE GAME FEATURES A STICK.
 
HEY GUYS SPOILER ALERT THE FLOWER IS ACTUALLY NOT ONE OF THE GOOD GUYS
 
@MadMAxJr YOU RUINED IT
 
 
3:58 PM
omg now you're going to tell me there are things it in! and that stuff happens! lalalalalalalala!
covers ears
 
@Yuuki REALISTIC DRIVING ACTION
 
YOU START WEARING A BANDAID
 
@Yuuki Such physics
 
In MGSV, you play as Big Boss
 
@KitZ.Fox THE FLOWER LIES TO YOUR FACE, ALWAYS, EXCEPT WHEN IT DOES NOT
 
@badp srsly whut iz rong w/u?
 
Looks pretty realistic to me.
 
One of my friends is extremely dedicated to this off the wall fan theory he has about MGS5 and the cognitive dissonance he experiences the further he gets in the game brings me great joy
 
(This is why three-wheeled cars are not a good idea)
 
OK, I'm noting for later that spoilers for new games are now allowed in The Bridge, and if anyone asks who OKed that, @badp did.
 
4:00 PM
Oh wait, you're talking about some different other game. Never mind.
 
I don't think mentioning his fan theory would be spoilers, but it involves head transplants and multiple Big Bosses
 
Also, hi!
@twobugs Oh, like in Bioshock.
 
Not clones of Big Boss, just multiple ones of him.
 
oops, spoilers.
 
@KitZ.Fox "Bring us the Metal Gear, wipe away the debt."
 
4:02 PM
@Yuuki I thought they were talking about Yugioh.
 
I figure the next Metal Gear game will just be an army of Snake and Snake derivatives.
 
"I sell Big Boss and Big Boss accessories."

Q: My Xbox freezes when I play mine craft

BenhaxXLCan anyone tell me why my Xbox freezes my minecraft world when I play for about two minutes the whole Xbox freezes but I can still hear music and in game sfx and if I take out the game it sends me to dashboard and it all happens again if retry with the disc it is not the console because I have al...

 
@Yuuki "That boy ain't right, Kaz" - Big Boss, gesturing to babby Solidus
 
@Powerlord if you think those are spoilers, boy you're in for several treats
 
4:05 PM
I need to give up on FOB invasions/defense.
 
This is like saying it's a spoiler that you can attach baloons on things in MGS5
 
@badp It's for a game I haven't played (that came out... 3ish days ago) and you're discussing puzzle solutions and "secret" bosses for it.
 
@badp YOU CAN ATTACH BALOONS[sic] ON THINGS IN MGS5?
 
@Powerlord I merely said there exists one.
 
@MadMAxJr I haven't tried any. I was going to try and finish the main story first. I've heard invasions are pretty tough if the person you're invading has even decent security, though.
 
4:09 PM
(the game came out on the 15th, so it's 14 days, not 3, although 14 isn't a lot either)
I posted several screenshots of undertale in the previous days, too.
If anything you should check your imgur blocking privileges
 
@Sterno Yeah, me too. I'm glad they changed their minds, though.
@Sterno Me too. Such a fun game.
@StrixVaria @fredley @GnomeSlice I've looped the Suite No. 1 Prelude a few times. I really like that prelude.
 
@Yuuki I'd actually watch a race with those cars, it sounds a lot more challenging than regular races
 
 
@twobugs Yeah. Invading at night makes little difference as platforms are lit like christmas trees.
 
cc: @PrivatePansy
 
4:17 PM
I defended another players platform (support) and I got sniped from two platforms away.
I think I need to build snake to just be loaded in landmines and claymores when defending.
I wanted to yell at the AI guards, "GET OUT OF COVER AND FIND HIM". Their response to being shot at is a bit too conservative (for a video game, at least.)
 
Can you get your guards covered in heavy armor like the NPC guards in the missions?
 
You guards can wear the Battle Dress armor, but nobody ever puts on a helmet.
 
@MadMAxJr Man, they're even dumber than I thought.

Q: Csgo competition I did get trophies

gamerI won 4 times and I only got 2trophies and i did not receive xp in the recent match how to fix this problem I do got xp I should have become rank 6 and get skin

 
One guy retaliated against my base by setting off an alarm and murdering every guard, waiting for reinforcements, murdering all of them, repeating about three more times before capturing the empty platform.
 
4:22 PM
The Mother Base guards are kind of losers. They gossip about Big Boss (and get the facts wrong), are awkward dorks (some of the male/female soldier convos are amazing), and hide diamonds all over YOUR base.
 
Though thankfully my security force is stocked with C rating guards or less, so I'm not too upset about the losses.
 
So do you only lose stuff on your FOB?
All I have to do to protect my actually important soldiers is keep them on my main base?
How does that work for resources?
 
The guys standing on the platform are security team only. When they get inisde, they'll steal ten guys of that type. So I guess I lost ten guys
 
@MadMAxJr I wish there was an actual official support for music files that could loop forever. Just save the A and B points and have players loop between those ad libitum.
 
Oh, okay. I should probably ask these as questions but I'm lazy.
 
4:23 PM
Well, you don't actually get to determine where guys are allocated. FOB just adds to the max population cap.
 
Virtually all videogames do that behind the scenes anyway.
 
The only real safeguard is making sure all of your platforms have 2 to 4 platforms. 1 platform is easy to capture.
Though Mother Base seems to be safe to matter what. Expanding it just helps you.
 
@MadMAxJr :| I see. So should I be building as many platforms as possible on my FOB as well?
 
Well, at least 2 platforms per type.
 
Gotcha
 
4:24 PM
I'm not spending my precious fuel resources on more platforms because I'm 10k away from a nuke.
Which I hope lets me obliterate invaders, but in truth I have no idea what it does.
 
I'm going to invade your base and disable your nuke
We have to unlock that 0 nukes cutscene!
 
Yeah. You have fun finding me in the random matchmaking.
 
@MadMAxJr You can retaliate by nuking an invaders FOB and thereby completely destroying it, or so I've heard.
 
Wow, that's harsh
 
Ohhoho. Yes. I want that nuke all the more.
 
4:26 PM
But if the invader has high enough heroism, you can't do that.
 
ZOMG SPOILERS FOR A GAME THAT'S LESS THAN A MONTH OUT. (By the way tune in in about three weeks for supermassive afterbirth extraspoilers, as usual.)
 
So heroism determines the frequency and quality of recruits, but also whether or not you can be nuked?
 
"I'm sorry sir, we can't nuke the target. They're so heroic their biceps have biceps."
 
I don't think heroism works that way!
At least, I hope it doesn't, or I've done horrible things to Big Boss...
 
But does your ghost tail have abs?
 
4:28 PM
@badp I need a long, long loop of 'Hopes and Dreams'
So close to finishing MGS5. I think I'm going to ignore the EXTREME missions.
 
@MadMAxJr Currently looping over 'SAVE the World'
 
I really don't want to do the Vehicle Destruction extreme mission
That one sounds terrible.
 
That one is not as bad as some of the others.
 
Oh dear.
 
And the Subsistence mission is a lesson in pain.
 
4:30 PM
The subsistence and pure stealth missions are fun at least
 
Actually a thing you can do is mute all other sources of sounds in Windows, get to the point where the song goes in-game, hit Win-Alt-R and come back 15 minutes later
 
The first subsistence one wouldn't be so bad if the enemies weren't all wearing bullet-immune armor.
 
That's how I got myself a proper 15 minutes long loop of the Hyp-Dim-Nep-Reb-2 world map theme (hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm)
 
@badp That's work! I just want to click 'play'. :P
 
@MadMAxJr Gotta work for your play!
or you could just take one of the extended versions that are there on youtube
 
4:31 PM
@twobugs Well, I got a message that I'm so heroic that nobody would dare to nuke my FOB in retaliation.
 
and then apply 'youtube-dl -x' to them
 
@MadMAxJr Huh? The first subsistence one I unlocked was the communications one. Are they random after that?
 
THIS MAY OR MAY NOT BE HOW I GOT A HOLD OF THE SOUNDTRACK
 
@5pike Oh damn, how much did you have to get that? I just broke 100k
 
@twobugs IDK, did not look
 
4:32 PM
@badp "Just run into the vote to close----- friendship pellets"
 
"close friendship votes"
 
Hm, I'll probably try to get the heroism anti-nuke thing before I really start doing FOB missions
 
"see, we just want to get closer to you"
 
@twobugs Or you could just not build a nuke
 
Well yeah, I'm not going to build a nuke either way, but I don't want to get nuked either :P
 
4:35 PM
@twobugs You won't. If you don't have a nuke, you can't invade people that have one
 
Nuclear deterrence-based friendship.
 
and people with nukes can't invade people that have none
 
GAMERSCORE UPDATE
 
user15026
@badp o.O
 
@5pike Oh, nice. Perfect. I was hoping to invade people with Nukes and dismantle theirs, though
 
4:36 PM
@AshleyNunn it's almost end-game!
 
Aww, nukes are a separate group of players? Darn.
 
@MadMAxJr From what I've hears, yes.
 
@badp how much longer do you have? =p
 
@badp it's an incremental game made by @fredley and you're not editing your cookies or otherwise cheating? Clearly you're not playing as intended by author
 
Alright internet. I'm ready for con photos of Undertale skeleton cosplay.
 
4:43 PM
Oh cool, another chance to get a super rare gun in Destiny today. I really like what they've done with the expansion so far.
Basically, people found that during this one mission, if it's the daily mission (harder but extra rewards), you can go down a totally separate path for a hard challenge that rewards this special gun. Neat idea. Bungie has said there are several more secrets like this.
 
there's now a monthly delivery service for indiegames
 
They even ship to places that aren't 'merica
Aha, 14$ extra per month for non us/canada
(9 for canada)
So it's only twice as expensive
 
Huh, so Halo 5 is going to have an engine that dynamically alters visual quality to keep it at 60fps
 
yeah, thats common now
 
Interesting idea. Some people are saying when it kicks in full force things can get pretty muddy and ugly, but they specifically mention the one 24 player map as the case for that
@Rapitor True, but it sounds like this is being done to a higher extent than other games? Hard to say.
 
4:56 PM
@Chippies I wonder if I'll be able to hit Inf by the end of next week
 
Netflix for games.
 
It can also lead to some frame jumpiness
 
i'd much rather have framerate remain smooth
if textures got a few less pixels so what
 
Well, according to pre-release info it does a very good job keeping at 60fps, which I do value.
 
@Rapitor drastic changes in visual quality could mess with your mind, imho
 
4:57 PM
I guess I'll have to see it in motion, but I doubt it'll be much of a problem in single player or smaller team battle stuff (like Slayer)
@Chippies Halo 5 confirmed to be the new Silent Hills game?
 
i'm used to pop-in and stuff like that. even more since school taught how it was done and how its "hidden"
 
I'd rather play a competitive shooter on lowest settings and 60 fps all the time than have the quality bounce back and forth as the amount of action changes
 
Silent Halo5
Damn, that's so cringeworthy I should be hired and then immediately fired.
 
You have an actual halo as a lightsource
 
also, lowest settings in competitive fps is usually an advantage, because you get less junk in your view
so, could this dynamic quality change be abused?
 
4:59 PM
@Chippies I remember @badp trying to play TF2 on a potato once and he literally couldn't even play sniper because the zoomed in scope graphic on ultra-low settings aliased so much that it obscured his whole screen.
 
I doubt it'll be abused, but that'd depend on the specifics of the engine
 
So I don't know about lowest settings, but low settings sure.
