@Sterno I'm currently running around looking for a password
@Sterno yeha I read that, pretty cool
 
12:16 AM
Don't look at that @Sterno
 
Was that just a trick to get room owners to look at a boring message
Or I guess that was the password you were looking for
 
@Unionhawk indeed it was
I jsut needed a palce to store it, and the bridge seemed like the perfect place!
 
RoomOwnersPleaseDontTellAnyoneThatThisIsMyPassword
@twobugs I just trolled my daughter by getting her to latch onto my nose. Then she counter trolled me by wailing in my ear when no milk was forthcoming
 
12:33 AM
@Sterno that police station was my favourite level so far
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune hahaha that's excellent.
 
@Ash also my nose has a hickey now, I think she won this round
 
Baby: 1 Dad: 0
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune yeah, you're going to have to concede that one
 
Oh shit there's a Thief Gold HD mod
> The HD mod requires a lot of graphic and CPU power!
Uh-huh
I'm hyped

Q: Pokemon-Go: I'm very unlucky with my location

MaxI'm a huge pokemon fan and when I realized that pokemon GO, the closest I'll get to ever being a pokemon trainer, has come out I went mental. But then I realized that you must need internet for it. I can't get a contract for data, there are a few areas with free wifi in my town but none of them a...

 
@GodEmperorDune Man your household is next level
I can't believe you really named her "Friday" though
 
I feel bad for @Wipqozn who stopped playing Thief before ever seeing it in HD glory

Goddammit
This is stupid
 
PS4 Pro Much
 
@GodEmperorDune They learn how to win so quickly
 
1:03 AM
@twobugs I told you we named her D.va
 
@Wipqozn I just ko'd the uberguard that kept killing you on the sword mission.
 
I hope blizz doesn't DMCA her birth certificate
 
@Sterno :(
 
@Wipqozn I went right in the front door for this mission. That probably wasn't optimal but was surprisingly easy

1:12 AM
But part of me is also convinced it would be terrible.
 
Why is part of this house sideways?
 
@Sterno BEcause the house is fucked
That level was so trippy
 
Oh, I remember the story reason why now
 
Took my a while to finish that quest
I basically stumbled into the last objective

Q: PowerA PS3 Controller (Wireless)

BestMInecrafterI have a wireless PowerA controller for my PS3, and I want to use it on my PC. But, my computer doesn't have bluetooth capabilities. Please, help me.

 
1:21 AM
Wow. I remember watching you play this and the graphics are so much different now
cc @Wipqozn
 
@Sterno damn
I installed the thief 2 one
 
The extra detail makes it a little harder to find loot though
 
@Sterno you streaming on youtube?
 
No but I can be
Not actually overwatch but I'm too lazy to change it
I think I"m just getting black screen
 
1:29 AM
@Sterno 😷
huh that's what it shows up as, interesting
 
Yup
 
Which is to say I was just on my phone
 
Oh well
I'm too lazy to fix it
Fixed it
 
What on earth https://t.co/lyPC5FsSv9
I want it.
But it is so far away.
:(
I want to pour that magical beverage into my face hole. :(
 
@Sterno oh wow that does look a lot better

Yeah. Dude gets around. And drinks good shit.

@LessPop_MoreFizz ...what
Well, I'm going to see what >12% I can get my hands on this weekend
Because FREEDOM
THANKS JOHN KASICH
 
@Unionhawk you know you want it.
 
Kind of
That sounds like something MadTree might try in a brewer's series one-off
They already currently have lemon basil
I've already accepted that I can't have that particular thing so you know, I'll make due with what distributes here
It's too bad 120 is delayed though
But at least BLOOD ORANGE PSYCHOPATHY is returning this week, in CANS too
LOOK AT THIS

Q: How can I stop the game from pausing when the window doesn't have focus?

AequitasThe game pauses everytime I click out of the game to do something else, which is really annoying. Is there any configuration I can change in order for the game to continue running after is has lost focus?

 
@Unionhawk That is pretty
 
AND IT WAS DELICIOUS LAST YEAR TOO
 
@arda Triple Town
one of the most enduring mobile games, for me

Blue Origin Will Likely Blow Up Its Next Rocket http://bit.ly/2bWwRjq https://t.co/jhPHC3pm71
lol
I bet the blue origin guy probably was like "@elon yo nice launch :)" last launch too
 
I should probably buy the witness tomorrow. Probably.
For now I'm going to hop into bed with a good book
 
I will enjoy watching you fail at its puzzles
 
@Sterno Yes. Also I'm enjoying Thief 2 a lot more than Thief 1./
The level design just seems a lot better
I just finished the Ambush! mission
which is misison 4, so I'll be doing mission 5 tomorrow
 
2:34 AM
@Dragonrage That's... remarkably sad.
Also apparently Yorick rework came out, I'll have to get on tomorrow and try it out.
League is quickly devolving into one of those games I enjoy watching more than playing though. And I think @StrixVaria is already past that stage.
 
user15026
Plane tickets bought! runs around
 
Where ya off to?
 
user15026
Atlanta, for American Thanksgiving boyfriend adventures

To visit a certain awesome American dude I suspect
 
user15026
This is officially the farthest I've ever gone anywhere
 
2:39 AM
@Yuuki he is pretty strong
 
user15026
@Wipqozn You would be correct!
 
Damn it my phone made me too slow
 
I just learned from @Wipqozn that @Ash is going to a Trump rally.
 
@Dragonrage Yeah, his split-push looked gamebreakingly strong.
 
user15026
@Sterno shudders Dear god no
 
2:40 AM
i lost lane when i first played him against yasuo, but then split push to win the game
 
He's the only champ able to push three lanes solo without Teleport, right?
 
To be clear, awesome was in the sense of: inspiring great admiration, apprehension, or fear. Mostly those last two.
 
his thingy follows him
 
@Sterno I wonder if this would get validated (of course not uni you idiot there are 2 mods in the room) oh right
 
@Dragonrage I thought his ult would push a lane solo?
And he could grab Zz'rot for a second lane and then push the third lane himself.
 
2:41 AM
i havent tried, but it works great to drop it when you get to a turret
i just had zzrot, and ulti plus a bunch of minions
 
user15026
@Sterno ah, the "proper" definition. That makes more sense
 
and kept pushing and running away when they came
his ulti isnt that strong by itseld
 
Is it literally graviton surge?
 
That's not terrifically powerful by itself
Oh
 
2:43 AM
he sheperds lost souls to death
he literally kills things, then takes control of their souls, creates ghouls from them, and sends them to fight until they die.
 
IIRC, lore is that the place where Yorick does his business is a land where an immortality ritual went wrong and now everything is in undeath.
 
@Sterno the main thing holding me back from dishonored (aside from thief 2) is all the stuff you need to do between fun. Like hub world's, tutorials, and lane cutscenes you can't skip.
 
Yorick is now from Ionia though?
 
Thief 2 does just stop you right into the Gane
 
@Yuuki his birth place is the Blessed Isles, which was cursed with ruination, and he is the last survivor of his order.
 
2:47 AM
Ah, I was remembering a design spotlight they did awhile back and they mentioned the monk's spade, which is a Eastern weapon/tool/thing which made me think of Ionia.
 
That...'s pretty cool
 
@Ash YAY :D
 
user15026
@Ktash I am freaking out, like its not for 73 days but stiiiiillll
 
It's exciting :D Happy for you! :D
 
Wait, THANKSGIVING IS IN 73 DAYS
 
3:00 AM
I'd imagine a bit over. Ya know, so she could travel there in time for it. But roughly
 
WHATEVER
THAT MEANS END OF SEMESTER PANIC IS IN IDK ABOUT THAT LONG
OH CRAP
(we actually have a client meeting tomorrow, and I should probably send a couple emails to find out things and stuff)
But at least I don't have homework to do for until Tuesday I think
Wait...
I might have a presentation monday
I'll find out tomorrow.
If I do, it'll be about QR codes to a bunch of business majors.
But I don't think I do because I think I explicitly did not sign up for the first one
 
Tell them it's a bad idea to put a QR code inside a mobile app
or really most anywhere :P
 
I think I signed up for 9/17 not 9/12
Yeah QR codes are kind of lame
NFC is the new QR
Or just, short URLs
And the only reason I know they're all business majors is we had some career services lady come in and ask for "School of Business?" most everyone "Arts and Sciences?" some people "Engineering?" literally only me "Education?" literally nobody
 
user15026
@Unionhawk 73 days is the Sunday before your Thanksgiving
 
CLOSE ENOUGH
73 DAYS UNTIL PANIC
 
user15026
3:07 AM
Sorry :P
 
@Unionhawk But education is our future. THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
 
Especially since I probably won't actually leave for fall break
@Ktash It's a business/professional writing class
Which I expected to maybe be useful
But so far it's all about "this is how you get a job when you graduate" which I literally already have covered.
 
THINK OF THE.... oh wait, no. Yeah. That class is unnecessary
 
Technical writing was full
SO
It was the least not useful class in the list of classes satisfying that credit that was not technical writing
 
Business writing classes are not really super userful. Writing classes? Yes. Technical writing? Can be. Business writing? Never
 
3:09 AM
I'm learning this quickly but I think it's too late now so I guess I'll just live with 3 hours a week of a stupid class
Plus 3 hours a week of a 100 level class
 
user15026
@Ktash Pretty much this
 
Meh worst case scenario I waste 3 hours per week of my time taking a not super useful class.
Oh well.
 
user15026
Fair enough
 
Man not being in school anymore is so awesome. Learning is great, but the university structure is the worst.
 
Ugh, I feel sorry for anyone with a saturday class
> November 26 (2 days after thanksgiving) Saturday classes meet
Lol, screw that
Man, I hope the Oktoberfest Committee schedules festivities for anything other than the weekend of fall break
Especially since that's in October
 
3:34 AM
oh I missed the sale on Outlast on PSN by one day

Q: Does wearing the white robes affect matchmaking?

MattHaving thoroughly enjoyed Journey on PS3, I couldn't resist picking it up for another few playthroughs after it popped up for free in this month's free PS Plus games. On the PS3 I played the game offline, so I figured this time round I'd make a change and experience it with other players. 2 play...

Q: Is #489938 a good colour?

Amy T McBrideSo, I've been coding my website and there's a lot of competing colours out there, like the garish #99583A and the understated #2PE (extended utf-9), but I'm really not sure if I should be using #489938 at all. I have tried making #489938 into a more minimal, complete and verifiable example, like...

Wat
 
@Arperum Flag as should be closed - unclear what you're asking
 
@Arperum It reads like the output from a markov chain
 
@PrivatePansy If you say so.
 
"I have tried making #489938 into a more minimal, complete and verifiable example" sounds exactly like two or more sentences spliced together
 
It's gone now, so that's good.
 
7:14 AM
Are you kidding me, it's happening Again
 
@twobugs Fire alarm?
 
Yup, I am calling it in as an emergency maintenance
Never mind that I reported it last night and was seemingly ignored
Just waiting for maintenance now I guess. Don't know what I can even get from them
It's not my alarm
 
@twobugs They can maybe go scream at whoever's alarm it is?
 
Hopefully, but I am not feeling good about this
I mean, I reported it as a non emergency and was ignored

Q: Old version of bomberman which I cannot recall, where can I get it?

DamoI reckon this is a tough one, so please bear with my being vague. A long, long time ago my mother bought me this CD called "over 1000 games for PC" or "over 100 games for PC" or something like this. Most of the games on it were terrible but there was this copy of bomberman which was just adorab...

 
It seems to have stopped now but it is going to restart as soon as I try to sleep
 
Good luck!
 
Well I just spoke with someone and I don't know what to make of it
This is just a real frustrating experience
Well I am not staying up any later trying to sort this out. Cheers all
 
@twobugs night bugs!

Q: For Pokemon Go, there is no way to try out my Pokemon moves if I am home and my home is not next to a gym?

太極者無極而生To try the different movesets of different Pokemon, can I stay home and try them out? Or do I have to physically be outside next to a gym? It might be raining outside or it might be 11pm and I just want to play a little without having to drive outside.

 
@NBN-Alex I'd do that if it was available here, to support the crewniverse

@arda not really, SLI offers no performance benefits for CUDA. It's just a few lines of code less in your program
Also morning chat \o
 
@KevinvanderVelden maybe not cuda, but I meant those people making 50 gpu clusters to make rainbow tables super fast.
 
That's cuda or equivelants
 
@KevinvanderVelden morning kevin
 
@KevinvanderVelden mornin
 
General purpose computing isn't helped by SLI. SLI is just for rendering stuff. You can achieve the same utilization of all GPUs by just writing your CUDA/OpenCL/whatever-amd-has program properly

Q: Which silver chests should I prioritise opening?

David YellAs Magic Keys are quite hard to come by, I'd like to know which Silver Chest rewards I should be prioritising, so that I'm not wasting my Magic Keys. The ExviusWiki has a list of the Silver Chests, but no guidance on which items are the most beneficial. So which chests should I open first?

Q: merge characters vision maps of the world

vlad_tepeschI am running my own terraria server (currently the included one, but also want to test tshock) in my network and play with a friend.

@arda His SO profile has 5 rep, no questions and no answers. And it's not like the question that was removed was any sort of old.

Q: how to survive 2 how to open hatch

Matas VaitkeviciusI am playing how to survive 2, on a map I can see down arrow symbols and there are hatches with two pipes on each side, but I cant seem to find a way to open them Can hatches be opened? If not what can I do here?

 
10:02 AM
IMPORTANT REMINDER
 
@badp reminds me of "Crying is really funny" - Rebecca Sugar
 
@Yuuki I haven't actually played more than 5 games of league in the past 2 years.
 
why
why would you have 3 antiviruses installed?
 
10:18 AM
Bit9, emet, intune and symantec over here
2
It's hell
 
So they fight, and then the best antivirus is chosen by natural selection.
 
Like, this is a pretty nice machine, 6 physical cores at 3.5GHz max, 16 gig ram... and it runs about as well as the 5 year old windows install on the 7 year old pc at my old job
Bloody hell it's on an SSD for data as well, I thought it was just an SSD for the OS
 
seeing someone running multiple anti-virus is one of the things guaranteed to make me angry
@StrixVaria I barely play it nowadays, tbh I've begun to find it incredibly boring
+ Heroes of the Storm I find to be a much more enjoyable game overall
it does away with a lot of the more tedious aspects of LoL, feels more balanced for every character and has actual map variety!
 
10:41 AM
@sequoiad even seeing a single antivirus makes me angry.
they don't protect enough, they are expensive, they slow down the pc to a crawl, they remove random stuff. I last used an antivirus in 2014 (other than last year when I just installed malwarebytes to scan, which I removed afterwards) after it said that my copy of VS, directly downloaded from MSDN, was a virus.
Maybe the enterprise grade ones help by essentially blocking you from running anything, but the end user ones are hell
 
I don't understand why you run an antivirus and have bit9
Bit9 is a software whitelist, only listed software is allowed to run and I sincerely hope you don't whitelist any viruses
 
10:59 AM
@arda Are you really blaming an antivirus for detecting a Visual Studio iso as malware/virus? I say it did its job.
 
@Derpy it detected the exe
 
@Derpy I mean, it's certainly created a great many of them
 
I mean, yeah, the file md5 changed, but maybe that's because I updated my VS2013 to update 3? Did you think of that, kaspersky?
 
@arda Well... It slows down your machine, crash it at randomly, present itself as an useful application. Yep, definitely malware.
 
@Derpy what? no. I use vs for years and it rarely crashes, and it doesn't slow down my pc more than chrome does
Unreal Engine 4 crashed more in the last 3 days than VS in last 4 years
 
11:04 AM
@KevinvanderVelden what the fuck.
 
@arda you don't use the office development tools I assume...
 
@KevinvanderVelden what the actual fuck.
 
I only use Windows Defender on my personal machines
At work, I use Trend Micro
And my Trend Micro icon just disappeared from my task bar...
 
@Derpy I don't. I use VS to develop for: UWP, WPF, WF, CLI, Unity, UE4 and xamarin.
VS only crashed twice, and both were on 2015 beta.
 
11:11 AM
@arda lucky you. Between using VS on an Azure machine to connect to an on-premise company TFS server and the Sharepoint development tools, I can assure you VS becomes far from performing...
 
Your problems: VS on Azure (not on local), on-premise TFS, Sharepoint.
 
@arda which are all things that MS supports and even provide Azure templates for :P
but hey, yep, Azure is far from performing.
 
@Derpy ikno, I use azure and have a VM with VS2015 installed
 
unless you want to go... D6 at least -_-
 
It is good to fix code on phone, but connecting to a remote device to code while on a pc is a big pita
 
11:16 AM
(the fact that the main OS disk size is tied to the VM category should be a pretty strong warning sign. To increase the OS disk space, you have to increase ram and cores too.... with obvious results on consumption prices)
(Google Cloud? has separate settings for that)
 
@Derpy you can attach additional hard drives when you need them
Each drive up to 999gb. Amount is limited by VM grade.
 
@KevinvanderVelden so let me get this straight, you have an application whitelist
y/n?
 
Yes
I was wondering if more was coming so hadn't replied =p
 
and it can't be merely fooled by putting a new executable in the same place of a whitelisted executable
y/n?
 
11:19 AM
and it will also cover office macros
y/n?
 
(hash and/or certificate sign check)
@badp no idea, it does handle loading dlls and executing vbs/.bat files from explorer
But I don't know about office macros, having never used them in my life
 
so all the antivirus(es) are going to be scanning is the whitelisted apps
 
Yes
And well, on file writes and such
 
so what you are guaranteeing is that you are not compiling things that trigger the whitelist?
please kick your it admins in the mouth
 
The whitelist has an option to allow executing things that reside in a folder
So the project folder is mega-whitelisted
 
11:22 AM
So what's even the point
 
@badp defenestration is a better choice
 
I have no idea, it's really easy to work around but policy
 
Why do you have the whitelist in the first place
Just
 
@arda you can attach an additional drive... but on what drive do you think the OS will be installed? And which one will soon have 40GB+ of space devoted to the "Windows Update" folder? ^_^
 
Also I would rather not kick one of 2 owners of the company in the mouth =p
 
11:23 AM
just
 
Hint: the initial one, the one you cannot control the size of directly.
 
@badp I know
I am also very confused, saddened, frightened and angered by these things
At various points of time, generally not all together
Anger mostly when it's sooooo bloody slow and it'd have been done way sooner with proper tools
 
@badp I think it's because they're still excluding apps that aren't in the Project folder
 
@Nzall which is easily worked around by putting the things in that folder
Heck, I've done that for scripts because fuck not automating starting 10 instances of something in different folders
 
@Nzall I think you're misunderstanding; The whitelist controls everything but the project folder. SO the project folder is supposed to be no mans land full of evil.
 
11:32 AM
Most of what the whitelist is blocking is microsoft's own spam btw
Because what I really need is something called xboxapp.dll on my work pc windows
Good job
 
@Arperum Yes, and malware that finds the way onto the PC but not into the project folder should be stopped by the whitelist
If you're doing development at any scale it's obviously a good idea to exclude your development directories from PC-wide scans
If the malware is located in your project folder, it's likely to have been designed to end up there, which means it's a targeted attack and you have bigger issues to worry about
like who wants to attack you
 
Well next week the pentester
Also me from a software perspective
And note: we do deal with sensitive data from large customers so some paranoia is in order
 
@arda Wait, are you really checking every minute whether there's a new Stephen Universe out?
 
11:47 AM
@Nzall yes, as the ep aired in US
 
@KevinvanderVelden I'm going to laugh so hard when you get cyberlockered
 
@badp You're talking about ransomware, right?
