Q: Does the HP of a Pokemon change after EV training it?

Abhishek Shaapplicable to Pokemon Omega Ruby Will EV training the HP Stat of LV 100 pokemon change the HP of the Pokemon? (Increase in HP)? Similarly, will, reseting the HP stat of the Pokemon decrease the HP?

Canada is strange.
Annnnnnnnnnd finally my my fishtank is drained.

Q: How do you link accounts for Swordcoast adventures?

BishopI recently started playing neverwinter again, and am at the point where I want to play swordcoast adventures. However, when I log into the gateway, I get this message: And when I click the link to link accounts, this page opens: I cant see any information on this page that relates to the ne...

Q: How do you stop the Zombot Aerostatic Gondola from activating the fire traps?

SeanThe most annoying thing about fighting Dr. Zomboss at the end of the Lost City level is that he occasionally drops sandbags on the fire traps, wiping out a whole lane of plants (except for extremely tough ones, like an Endurian that's been fed a plant food). In many playthroughs of the stage, I'...

good morning bridge
16:12
o/ morning
Have to go for now - bye
@Fluttershy it's djsmiley2k
:D
@badp Porkchat update pushed, fixes permalink issues, allows for custom text to check for.
do i need to do anything?
16:25
no, Chrome will update it
Unless you have auto updates off, like me.
To be fair, who would trust @fredley with an auto updating extension on your pc?
That's just begging for fridays
Literally all of you
Nope, current installed status: No porkchat
Not me
So, suck it, guy
16:31
Aw, was it the time I trolled everyone that one time?
My phone is trolling me right now
Yes it was the time that one time
Aw, that was a fun joke
It some associated one of my contacts with the version of their number that doesn't have an area code
at some point tonight I should hopefully be able to get back to coding
16:33
Everyone had a good day
This means I can't send them any texts
@fredley I agree, you were laughing at your troll succeeding, I was laughing at not being trolled

Q: Fallout Shelter Time Warp Glitch help

Daniel MoosI have seen other posts relating to this where they talk about their dwellers that are sent out into the wasteland where they don't find ANYTHING and their time log is stuck at 00:00. Where as my situation is (I did use the time travel glitch by the way) My dwellers that I send out really rarely...

Almost time to buy a real car. This is intimidating
Vs fake?
Yes, I previously only drove Ghost Cars.
But before I actually never bought a car myself. I usually bought from a family member or something. Now I'm actually talking with dealerships
ew expensive
Yeah, it's a bummer, but I'll figure something out
@twobugs be fully prepared to walk out on them
if you dont want what they are offering, just leave, dont let them bully you into buying a car you dont want
when i bought my car, i walked out on 3 different dealerships
16:58
Yeah absolutely. I'm at least not going in alone, I've got my stepdad with me and he's a real tough sell. He has way more experience doing real business like this
@twobugs yea good call on that. i had my dad come with me when i bought mine.
what type of car you looking to get?
Probably just a simple sedan from the past 5ish years. Looking for a good deal on a certified used one.
17:13
@fredley ahhh memories
@twobugs Buying cars sucks.
Having someone with you who has done it before will help.
@Wipqozn memories?
@StrixVaria Yeah, always bring someone with you whose done it before.
I went with my father
@twobugs i would go for a honda or toyota personally. they are a little more expensive than some, but will last you awhile and get good gas mileage

Q: What troops are can counter a giant skeleton?

DragonrageI keep facing people with Giant Skeleton's and I haven't found a way to effectively deal with them. A lot of the troops have rather low hit points, so I tend to have to use several troops to kill it, but any that are alive after killing it tend to die when the bomb goes off. So what are effective...

17:15
@Dragonrage I second this.
They're pricey, but reliable.
yea. i quite like my Camry.
i drive a corolla 2015
Of the three used cars I had, two were 95 civs. They're reliable cars.
i used to drive a 94 accord. it had a few problems towards the end, but it was at over 250k miles
user15026
I'm biased - I will generally buy Ford because my dad has been a Ford mechanic for over 20 years, so.
@Wipqozn would you mind looking at my meta post and seeing if it makes sense to you? i am trying to become a better meta user, but i feel like im not the greatest at making coherent posts

Q: Original 7 Mortal Kombat Characters not in other games?

Ryan JOf the 7 fighters from the original Mortal Kombat game (1992), are there any that haven't made it as a playable character in the other games of the series? When I say other games in the series I don't mean Anthologies or Shaolin Monks etc. I'm strictly talking the ladder-based fighters from the ...

user15026
@fredley Yeah, pretty much - when I had a car I generally just paid for parts.

A: Are questions about hardware design decisions classified as "developer intent" questions?

DragonrageI agree with Frank that rules should be consistently applied, otherwise we simply get into fights when people's opinions differ. Game design questions are off topic here because the answers are simply speculation. Sure, we may know a bunch of stuff about the topic that may be the reason as to why...

@Dragonrage Sure. Always happy to help.
17:28
cool thnx. see link above
17:40
@Fluttershy Once Emily gets patched in, I'll decide.
@Derpy Whoops, didn't respond to this yesterday, but isn't it the publisher's choice on whether or not to sell actual cartridges?
I don't know who the European publisher is for Zero Time Dilemma, but it was Rising Star Games for the last one (Aksys is the North American publisher)
Oh, apparently 999 never had a European release on the DS.
@Dragonrage Question, and I hope this doesn't come across as rude, but do you proof read your meta posts before posting them?
aka after you type it all up, read through it one or two times
@AshleyNunn weird english question for you
in abbreviations like "rx" and "Dr." is there a specific term for the second letter?
@Wipqozn i did read through it once
@Dragonrage Okay. I usually read through a post 2 or 3 times before posting. Then I usually read it again after posting. Might want to try that, I find it helps.
Just noticed stuff like this
> Were there limitations in hardware would have made GameBoys only be able to use 4 colors?
17:55
what's the problem?
ah, which
my brain rewrites errors on the fly
yeah, it makes it awkward to read.
@djsmiley2k yeah human brains are weird
not for me :/
@djsmiley2k There are two djsmiley2k on PSN. Which are you?
wut
o_O
Is that because 2 tabs?
i want to be in 2 chatrooms at once.
I'm the one with this face <<<<
Unless I changed it :/
Also, today I learned hitting enter on my keyboard sends messages. Yay for fat fingerings! :P
17:56
How do I tell you which I am?
@Dragonrage That's not a major thing, but I find when reading through something a few times I'll be like "huh this is actualy worded awkwardly, let me rewrite it" or "I should break this off into it's own paragraph", just stuff like that.

@djsmiley2k Good question! It might be easier if you just add me. I'm nihilistronin, and I have Sly Cooper as my avatar.
can I add from a browser yet...
@Dragonrage: Also, as for your specific meta post, "f the question asked "Were there limitations in hardware would have made GameBoys only be able to use 4 colors?" it might be on topic in GameDev (I am unsure what their rules are) but it would still be off topic here. Thus I feel hardware design decisions fall under developer intent, and thus are off topic."
17:58
my PS4 is in a box right now :(
@djsmiley2k I don't think you're using the correct script
@Dragonrage That's really the only place you mention the "hardware parT", but you don't really explain why it would be off-topic here.
@djsmiley2k That just tells me to pick my region and takes me to the main Playstation site. :P
@Wipqozn i was trying to say that what hardware they chose was part of a game design and developer intent
paragraphs 1 and 2 were sort of addressing the need for consistency and why game design questions were off topic, and then paragraph 3 was to show that hardware design had the exact same problems, because it is part of the design, and paragraph 4 was sort of a closing/summary
18:09
I just get "This Websense category is filtered: Games."

@GodEmperorDune Not as far as I know
@AshleyNunn cool
i asked on ELU too
its the kind of thing that's hard to google for
you want to know what the 2nd letter of an abbr is called?
@Dragonrage my wife asked me
i am honor bound to research it or face wrath
its called the second letter of the abbr
18:13
@GodEmperorDune Is there a specific term for the first letter?
@StrixVaria i have no idea
I can't imagine a context where a word for that would be necessary.
user4704
@Dragonrage I feel that an argument for why "were there hardware limitations preventing..." is off-topic is that it's just gaming-adjacent, not about gaming. It's about hardware, along the same lines as "why does the NES require that funny RF adapter thing?" or "why does the SNES draw X amount of power?"

Q: Can't Seem To Find Two-Player Splitscreen for Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires

Kevin FischerI recently downloaded Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires (DW8E) from XBox Live. My roommate and I both created characters under our Live gamer tags. I log in and start Empire Mode and select my created character. Start the game and he can't seem to join. Have tried it on the Pre-Battle screen to no a...

@StrixVaria i figured there might be some super elite linguistic term for it
or something like that
18:14
@GodEmperorDune There generally aren't terms for things that aren't useful to reference.
@StrixVaria because people feel an uncontrollable need to label everything
Like, linguists might talk about a "voiced pharyngeal fricative" and know what each other are talking about, but that's because that is a thing to talk about.
In at last one context ever.
@JoshPetrie good thought. i like that.
@Fluttershy oh that's derp
boom.
wtf game does that say I'm playing o_O
@djsmiley2k This helps! That was one of the two avatars!
18:18
:D
Still, why on earth does it think I'm playing a PS2 game o_O
pretty sure I've never played that game either.
Friend request sended.
Trying to play The Division! My teammates are worthless idiots as usual!@
Damn I got super trolled. After being the only person even attempting to shoot the enemies for over an hour my teammates all quit on me right before the end!
@twobugs right, always blame the team
play The Cycling
18:32
Oh, so it was my fault they didn't do anything?
The Culling*
@twobugs lolololol
@twobugs Shouldn't have made a difference if they weren't doing anything though right? :p
srs though that sucks
This is why I hate "difficult" matchmade content. Random people online just don't even try
The worst is when they're talking any saying "Wow, I love how hard and challenging this is!" as they refuse to use cover or shoot enemies or use abilities or do anything
@GnomeSlice Even if they do nothing at least they're someone else for the enemies to shoot at!
haha yeah I suppose
18:36
is there a way to see if one of my questions was deleted on meta?
@twobugs I don't like the way cover works in The Division.
Vanquish is best cover shooter
If I'm physically standing behind a thing, I can still get shot until I press a button to "officially" be in cover behind that thing, and then I get shot significantly less.
Really? I think the cover system is great. You're not completely immune while in cover, so it's not a panacea
I have not encountered that
I guess I just grew up with Half Life and other shooters where cover meant literally just "use the terrain to your advantage".
18:37
I've played all those older shooters too - I also grew up with them.
I just got used to pressing the cover button in vanquish
It's just different
Vanquish has a great cover system, yeah
user4704
Back in my day we just hid around the corner to be in cover!
@twobugs It's not objectively worse this way; I just personally have difficulty with it.
The Division's is very fluid and it's easy to switch between cover. I think it works very well
18:38
Vanquish might actually be the funnest game I've ever played
Wish they'd make a sequel
Now I have to decide if I actually want to try this again because we were literally right before the final boss when everyone ragequit
@twobugs I keep getting in cover on the wrong side of things, or walking around corners while trying to get to the very edge of my cover and exposing myself, or not holding the button quite long enough when trying to switch cover which results in you just standing in the open like an idiot.
Overall, the cover system in The Division is frustrating for me.
It's a timed mission where you have to kill all these dudes and people don't seem to understand the timed aspect or the killing dudes aspect
play vanquish
However, I don't know that I've played another game with an "official" cover system, so 1) the whole mechanic is new to me, and 2) I can't compare whether it's better or worse than other games.
18:40
One of my previous teammates just sat in the corner and did literally nothing
The others would just move around a bit but not really do anything
I wonder if you can get vanquish on that ps3 play thing on ps4
Welp, @POTUS was right about Dayton #ThanksObama
@Unionhawk Context?
I mean the biggest danger is the shotgunner guys since shotguns wreck you in this game. So naturally you would focus down the shotgunner guys before they walk up to you and kill you, right...?
@StrixVaria Dayton just lost
By like 20
18:41
Dayton who
Oh is this basketball?
No riots this year
Yup
All bundles complete!
18:42
I just hate this because it brings back a lot of shitty memories of people doing this
@twobugs Probably wants to grind while doing other stuff.
I have little interest in multiplayer in games like that
I had to quit L4D1 because my stupid friends were like "oh you have to play on expert" and then they'd die nonstop because none of us were any good
generally
And just say "Wow, this is so fun!"
No, dying to the same damn thing 100 times in a row and not learning a single thing from it is NOT fun.
it is for some people I guess
18:44
No, it's not fun for anyone
People who say it's fun are lying
There is no possible way to enjoy just slamming your head into the wall like that
Against my better judgment I queued again. If this ends up wasting another several hours of my life... sigh
play vanquish
again
best game
I gotta go back to work ugh
@twobugs "fuck you guys were turning down the difficulty and getting good"
@Unionhawk Nah I just stopped playing
Didn't even bother with L4D2
18:47
@Dragonrage I'll be watching this before I finish House of Cards, just like last year, because House of Cards is boring as shit again.
I have way too many 4p coop shooters that I will never play because none of my friends are currently playing and it's a scientific fact that playing a 4p coop shooter with randos is fucking awful
2
I guess it must pick up at some point because everyone says this season is good, but I'm not getting into it.
Okay, here's how attempt #2 went: I joined a group. Leader leaves and I'm promoted to leader. Other guy disconnects. I requeue us. Give other guy some time, and then kick him so we can actually get a full group and do this. Someone joins, and as soon as he loads in he ignores that we're still filling out the party and starts it and gets a killed repeatedly and fuck it
It's not worth it
I'm just not gonna get this done today I suppose
I told you, randos are the fucking worst
Genuine Payday 2 Gameplay
@Unionhawk I didn't play Payday 2 for long, but when I did, my team wished I didn't.
18:56
@Unionhawk lol
It's so frustrating because this is a daily mission designed to be a SIGNIFICANT part of your character progress
So having it just be like this is awful
Reviewing that, dropping ecm the second they fucked up may have saved it if saw got into security immediately
For the first one
I think
I don't remember the guard count for that segment
When you fuck up stealth stuff just cascades very fast and it's hard to salvage
@Unionhawk Why on earth did he think they were going to sneak with three fully armored dudes in the first place?
@Yuuki I don't know
Fully armored and highly visible too
The pubs weren't the stupidest people in that group.
19:01
@Unionhawk And this is why I don't like stealth games.
@StrixVaria the thing is as long as there's a quick way to reset its fine
There better be some reddit group thing
Those guys were reviving people
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
But I wasted so much time I should just go to the gym
19:02
My test script deleted the main code
So I go to check the local repo
It deleted the local repo too
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Luckily it errored out before it deleted the test directory too
@GodEmperorDune applauds
"he saw us so quick" YEAH HE SAW YOU SO QUICK YOU'RE WEARING SOMETHING OTHER THAN A SUIT YOU BIG DUMB IDIOT ASSHOLE
Dammit Windows why do you treat an empty string as current directory
19:06
@GodEmperorDune For what?
Oh fuck it deleted all my API notes too
Grrrrrrrr
Also, why do you have a script that's deleting files?
Because it's supposed to delete files in the test directoy
It's my own fault, the actual delete should have been commented out until it was solid
@GodEmperorDune Didn't it do everything BESIDES that?
But still, fuck you test script
19:08
did it delete itself?
No it hit a read only file and bombed
Ugh I don't even see a reddit groupfinder thing yet
Whatever. This is stupid. I'll just go work out and blow off some steam
OK, I'm sick and tired of this data not being passed to our Java applet (which I have limited control over). So, in the part I can control that does initialization, I'm going to print out the parameters I can see.
Unfortunately, I can't see the actual applet initialization, so I just have to hope that this initParams method actually gets called.
(It's only not working in IE11)
Ugggggggh pycharm why don't you ask me before removing files from the editor like notepad++?

Q: Is there a file limit?

rivermont - Will B.I have been downloading any and all of the important files that I find, and I haven't run into any problems yet. I know that there is a RAM limit, but is there a memory limit, and if so, what is it?

@GodEmperorDune I think ctrl+[ gets goes back to the previous file.
@GodEmperorDune So many of my complaint questions end like this
@Ronan you may be the most wonderful person to grace the bridge... Testing it
@GodEmperorDune I mean, obviously.
It actualy goes back to the last cursor position, but it works between files.
> Sick makes temperature very sad right.
wat
19:26
@Ronan yeah it doesn't work on files that are gone
but windows saved my ass with shadow copy
@GodEmperorDune I figured that would be the case
@GodEmperorDune Oh you straight up deleted it.
@Ronan yes
It does ask before deleting right?
And also you can undo deleting.
@Ronan i didn't delete it through pycharm, it was a rogue test script
19:28
@GodEmperorDune Right I seeeee...
well a backup from tuesday beats redoing everything
thanks windows
and i'll give you a partial thanks @Ronan because i wouldn't have thought to look at windows shadow copy
without that ctrl+[ suggestion
You should use version control though.
27 mins ago, by GodEmperorDune
It deleted the local repo too
@GodEmperorDune Aha.

Q: How do i make people stop running with a command?

Q: Map doesn't show up

Kaylai downloaded a map recently, I did all the steps, but it wont show up in single player. I double checked everything, also the resources packs.

Hello Bridge.
@Coronus hi
been a while, eh?
It definitely has. Not too much time for gaming in the past few months.
Got back into FFXIV though.
@Coronus hello
19:42
alright, sort of recovered
user15026
@Coronus Hello!
and backed up local repo to another dir far away from this test script
user15026
@twobugs Are you sure you don't? Because who couldn't use a little bit more random festivity in their life? ;)
pushes @AshleyNunn into the water
Well, it doesn't really enhance my shopping experience :P
user15026
19:43
@Powerlord Ruuuuude
Oh wait, you didn't say spontaneity.
@GodEmperorDune Until your test script becomes self-aware and starts seeking out all copies of your repo to demolish.
@Powerlord Pool party?
So.... when I get back to Twilight Princess (after work today maybe?), should I finish collecting everything I can or should I head directly to Hyrule Castle?
I missed a bunch of Poes, a bunch of heart pieces, the third version of the Wolf dungeon, and the bottom 30 floors of the desert cave.
Oh, and some Miiverse stamps.
Figures, the IE11 issue with this applet is in code I can't see. ~Thanks contractor.~
(It's not calling the initParams code at all)
19:51
gosh darn it. someone just checked in changes that completely broke the project.
you cannot even log in anymore
...does anyone know if Windows and/or IE11 has a group policy that tells it to ignore x-ua-compatible meta tags?
Google really is magic
