the guys on my 'level' are warning me about the company already

Kevin van der Velden

Yay for jorb

djsmiley2k

I can see why they get thru so many staff.

Powerlord

@KevinvanderVelden It was originally developed as a GameCube title.

The Wii version took the GC version, left-right mirrors the world, and added motion controls.

Oh, and Nintendo delayed the release of the GameCube version to try to sell Wii consoles. Not that they needed to seeing how the Wii was sold out for months.

Kevin van der Velden

Hmm, I think this weekend I'm finishing name of the wind

I should probably order the sequal so it gets here tomorrow

Powerlord

...one of my coworkers made a bot for Slack to order food from one of the local restaurants.

I saw this a few hours ago:

burritobob BOT [8:39 AM]
WHOA! [Some Name Here] wants to go get [Restaurant] for breakfast. Would you like to place an order?

(Yes, I removed the names from that)

two bugs

4:08 PM

That's a good bot and I approve

djsmiley2k

So I'm a contractor now

this makes me feel weird

Powerlord

@djsmiley2k Is this a good thing or bad thing?

djsmiley2k

It's just like 'K I'm bored now, I've earnt enough, I'm going home, bai'

@Powerlord it's plain weird

two bugs

Yeah, being a contractor is different

You're treated different and (at least I did) have a different mentality about the job too

djsmiley2k

yup

tho byt the sound of things, it's a good thing in this place

as I can just say 'no' if I need to

(like today)

Derpy

4:13 PM

@AquaTart - Am I mistaken or you have an animated avatar? nice...

and so does @nbn - didn't notice before.

ardaozkal

@Derpy huh?

they aren't animated on my end

Derpy

Because it isn't supported out of the box by SE.

ardaozkal

@Derpy yeah ikno, but how did you get it working?

Derpy

I use a greasemonkey script to restore the animation (yep, asked for permission to SE staff)

ardaozkal

@Derpy will you post it to stackapps?

Derpy

4:16 PM

@ardaozkal possible, it is nothing really complex.

But I think it will have to wait until Monday since I don't think I will be able to do much this weekend.

Frank

@twobugs It's only out of stock everywhere, except for scalpers selling it for 300% markup.

Powerlord

Just another Magic Punday.

Frank

@MadMAxJr It's essentially three stories. All are full branches; they're not gimped or subpar or anything.

It's just a choice for, "Hey, who's side am I actually on, here?"

MadMAxJr

Okay. But if I buy one or the other, I won't miss anything if I buy the missing components.

Frank

With "No side" being seen as the generally accepted canon path.

Powerlord

4:20 PM

Bleah, now I'm being forced to read documentation on Oracle's Topology Model.

Frank

@MadMAxJr Nope. You won't miss anything at all.

MadMAxJr

Great. Now I just have to finish the previous game first. >_>

Frank

Getting past chapter six opens an additional option on the main menu: Branch of Fate. It allows you to recreate your character there, so you can just choose which branch you want to take.

MadMAxJr

Awesome.

Frank

Essentially skipping the tutorial.

From what I've read, Birthright is seen as the easiest, with Conquest being the hardest.

And all three are seen as harder than Awakening. The game will not pull it's punches.

Q: Why is what I'm seeing in Arkham Knight different from what I see in online walk throughs?

I'm playing Arkham Knight on PC, purchased via Steam. There are some Riddler trophies that were so baffling that I got to a point where I felt something might be wrong. So, I looked up some walk throughs, and I discovered that what I'm seeing doesn't match what other people show. For example, I'...

MadMAxJr

Still miffed that playing with permadeath on Awakening doesn't get me anything.

GnomeSlice

it gets you permadeath

Yuuki

@Frank Unless you use Phoenix Mode.

Frank

@Yuuki In which case, why are you even playing Fire Emblem?

user15026

@Frank because if I were to, that would likely be the only way I could enjoy it?

Powerlord

4:34 PM

OK, Oracle, that was a count request. Meaning you should do an index lookup and tell me the number of rows.

Shouldn't take an entire minute.

Q: Can I continue playing Magic 2015 on other device?

I started playing Magic 2015 for Android on my mobile. Now I installed same app on my Tablet also and used same Google Play account for login. Somehow I anticipated to be able to continue playing where I left off on my mobile. I had to start from scratch again. Is there any way I can achieve this...

Sterno

Come on, Microsoft

Powerlord

@Sterno Here's the problem: Microsoft can turn around and point out that iOS stuff has the same restriction.

djsmiley2k

I'm wondering why the eu doesn't go all anticompetitve on this stuff

Arperum

@Powerlord Hey! What if the poor server wants to manually check that each row it counts is feeling ok? Ever thought about the feelings of those poor rows?

djsmiley2k

4:39 PM

but i guess apple/google/amazon have managed to errode all that to pointlessness.

user4704

It seems very overblown to me.

Yuuki

@Sterno Well, at least I no longer feel guilty about Nintendo not releasing its supply chain information.

djsmiley2k

ardaozkal

Oh god, synergy is awesome.

Powerlord

Ugh, for this to be useful, I need to know the tg_layer_id and tg_id of the topo geometry this table holds... I wonder how I get that.

4:41 PM

@ardaozkal the mouse/keyboard on multiple computers thing ?

ardaozkal

Yep.

I'm using it with my RPi and it is extremely helpful.

> give Microsoft 30% of your revenue

Biggest app stores out there do %30 (App Store, Google Play, Windows Store)

except microsoft lowers it to %20 after $100,000 earnings.

> It’s true that if you dig far enough into Microsoft’s settings-burying UI, you can find a way to install these apps by enabling “side-loading”. But in turning this off by default, Microsoft is unfairly disadvantaging the competition. Bigger-picture, this is a feature Microsoft can revoke at any time using Windows 10’s forced-update process.

user4704

Microsoft can also use a forced update to replace all your documents with pictures of cats.

Q: How do I get Black Ops 2 season pass for cheap?

How can I get the season pass for DLC for Black Ops 2 without paying $50? Or is there a way I can get exclusively zombies DLC maps rather than buying all the map packs?

murgatroid99

@Sterno The quote from Microsoft says that most of the statements in the article are just incorrect

ardaozkal

It’s true that if you dig far enough into Android’s settings-burying UI, you can find a way to install these apps by enabling “side-loading”. But in turning this off by default, Google is unfairly disadvantaging the competition. Bigger-picture, this is a feature Google can revoke at any time using Android's update process.

Sterno

4:44 PM

@JoshPetrie I wish

user4704

heh

Sterno

Less tax bills, more cats

MadMAxJr

More cats.

Stop cats

Private Pansy

"Why did you not pay tax?"
"Because Microsoft replaced them with cats"

ardaozkal

Also, how do you expect developers to test their apps without sideloading?

Also, you also give Valve your %30 revenue.

MadMAxJr

4:47 PM

Temporarily out of cats. Cat credits will be issued.

Sterno

I will give the US Government 30% of my cats.

ardaozkal

I'm not supporting some of these (for ex. sideloading enabling is a great feature, I'm totally behind that. I can enable it from my phone directly without usb connection etc.), but Microsoft isn't the only one who is doing these, but they receive the most hate.

MadMAxJr

Please round to the nearest whole cat.

ardaozkal

Also, unlike Android's APK extraction process, you need m4d h4x sk1lls in order to extract an .appx

Sterno

So, does anyone think The Division is super awesome and think I should change my mind about not getting it?

two bugs

4:55 PM

I think @Fluttershy had a really good experience with it

My experience was pretty meh

djsmiley2k

@ardaozkal hmm

two bugs

I love it conceptually, maybe I'll pick it up at some point

djsmiley2k

youy sidel;oad via adb too

of course, they can update to remove anything they like

but you don't have to update

GnomePhone is still the best though

Sterno

@LessPop_MoreFizz Please let me know if House of Cards season 4 is worth watching. Which would mean it needs to be better than season 3

That reminds me, I need to cancel netflix

djsmiley2k

yup gnomephone is epic

Right, I need to go shopy and gfet some nice stuff for tonight!

Let me mail this to Tim Sweeney: chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/35/conversation/…

CoolestVeto

Hey, so, I put up this question and judging by the lack of response I've gotten so far, it might have been more appropriate to post it on SO. Is it possible for it to be migrated?

Or nah? :P

ardaozkal

5:02 PM

@CoolestVeto Only mods can migrate, cc @fredley @badp @AshleyNunn

CoolestVeto

Oh, I thought it was any high rep user. Thanks. :D

ardaozkal

Might be 10k+

user4704

Non-moderators can only vote to close as "belongs on <some other site>" for defined migration paths.

user4704

Which I think are, mainly, just "belongs on our meta." You can flag for moderator attention though.

ardaozkal

Yep, I was remembering correctly.

CoolestVeto

5:03 PM

Ah - okay.

user4704

I also think you can self-delete if the question has no answers and just re-post on SO, @CoolestVeto. Although having comments might prevent that?

CoolestVeto

Yeah - when I posted it, it split hairs between here and SO.

ardaozkal

Can one flag their own post?

user4704

But I'm not sure I agree that it belongs on SO.

user4704

@ardaozkal Yea.

CoolestVeto

5:04 PM

@JoshPetrie Where would you suggest it? Here?

ardaozkal

@JoshPetrie does it fit GameDev?

user4704

@ardaozkal No.

user4704

@CoolestVeto I'm not sure. Don't participate enough on Arqade or SO to have a good sense of it. Just want to make sure my comment that you could self-delete and re-post was not an endorsement of doing so, per se.

ardaozkal

@JoshPetrie well, mods can't migrate directly, so no problem I guess.
