Which is why I've never really liked South Park.
 
user15026
 
I mean, for the most part I tend to agree with the views of South Park's creators. The manner in which they convey those views aren't really my cup of tea though.
 
@Sterno @TimStone is correct
 
@Ash I mean the tv show does have those themes a lot
garrison etc
 
It's kind of ridiculous you can use a claymore to wipe out a squad and it doesn't break concealment
 
6:10 PM
@Sterno 1 user moved to this is fine
 
@Ash I've never really been a fan of the show, but The Stick of Truth was actually a damn good game. And now I'm just more excited for Fractured But Whole.
 
@Yuuki I mean you guys aren't wrong but jesus christ
 
@Unionhawk I can't wait to get home and sort comments by controversial.
 
I can't wait to do the half of that that isn't awful
And not do the other thing
 
user15026
@Fluttershy I never played the first one. I've seen some if it because my sister used to watch it a lot. It's one of those games I want to play but I just suck at actually playing PC stuff.
 
user15026
6:16 PM
(Like how I love West of Loathing but haven't super given it a lot of time)
 
speaking of wol
potential kol remake in wol engine~
 
how does one suck at actually playing PC stuff?
 
user15026
@Avery That would be insane
 
Like, sitting on a computer to do it, or the actual gameplay?
 
user15026
@Sterno Like actually sitting down at my computer
 
6:17 PM
@Ash honestly I'd love to see something like that
 
ah
 
user15026
Like it's more "I am more apt to play stuff I can play lying in bed" than anythign
 
user15026
(which is why my 3DS gets so much time)
 
@Avery aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
 
user15026
I suspect if I got a chair that did not suck it would be better.
 
user15026
6:19 PM
@Avery Me too, it's just that KoL is massive and chaotic and whatever so I am just like all O.o at the ambition

aww
 
6:20 PM
Bad @Yuu... wait no Bad @Avery
 
@PrivatePansy so is this something I can just cargocult everywhere I go?
// do you want XSSs? this is how you (don't) get XSSs.
function escape(str) {
    var div = document.createElement('div');
    div.appendChild(document.createTextNode(str));
    return div.innerHTML;
}
function escapes(template, ...expressions) {
  return template.reduce((accumulator, part, i) => {
    return accumulator + escape(expressions[i - 1]) + part
  })
}
or is it stupid in some important way
 
@Wipqozn My new campaign has another guy in short shorts, but also, oddly, he has his hair in pigtails. So that's you now
 
other than the important fact that, well, actually, there are multiple kinds of escaping #htmlattributes
 
user15026
@Yuuki facedesk
 
6:22 PM
/remov yooks
 
user15026
@Yuuki I dunno about best.
 
user15026
@Sterno I feel like the short shorts are bad combat clothing choices.
 
It does seem like they'd chafe and also lead to skinned knees
 
@Sterno i have done this in the past
(not a combat situation)
 
@badp That looks like "do whatever document.createTextNode does for every value interpolated into the template". Don't use it for everything; just use it for when you want to do that. Though I don't understand exactly what the reduce is doing
 
6:27 PM
@murgatroid99 it's a weird pattern
I won't pretend to be able to understand it

Q: How do you report players to Valve?

VictoriaI want to know if there's a way to report to Valve a player on Dota 2 whose account should probably be banned. The person I'm referring to constantly plays as Keeper of the Light and only joins games in order to teleport his team to ward towers so that they can't move, which then causes them to b...

 
Oh, were we talking about West of Loathing?
I'm rather fond of it's level of humor. It's mostly hearty chuckles, nothing too outrageous.
 
but I throw escapes`<td>${msg}</td>`; at and it only escapes msg
and that's good enough for me
 
6:41 PM
This resistance fighter charging into battle while still on fire is the most heroic XCOM moment ever
 
And them subsequently missing a 97% shot would be the most XCOM moment ever

Q: What are the hidden Dashy Crashy achievements?

zero298I'm down to 2 cars left, the Hovercraft and the Tardis, in Dashy Crashy and I believe they may be related to the secret achievements I haven't gotten. How do I unlock the secret achievements in Dashy Crashy?

 
@Unionhawk I mean they'll probably die but yeah
@GodEmperorDune also caught on fire but I made him hunker so he's okay
That guy was just like "YOLO"
yep there he goes
RIP burning dude
 
Always fun to accidentally graze the mouse wheel while holding control for some other reason and zoom in to 500%.
I was able to see little more than my own avatar from the left of the text entry box.
 
Might be a good time to point out @GodEmperorDune was only on fire because @Unionhawk missed an easy overwatch shot but
 
6:46 PM
I can't zoom in more than 300%
 
@DanmakuGrazer You are not missing out on anything.

Denislav KaragiozovI bought a map for a woodland mansion and followed it more than 10000 blocks away from my house. Now that I have it's coordinates, how can I calculate where I need to reach in the Nether, in order to come out somewhere close to my house which is 17 3 30 while the mansion is -202 3 748 ?

Isn't this game supposed to start you with an Engineer or a mission where you can get one right away?
RIP ability to base build
 
omg stop
@Wipqozn's nickname is "Big Money"
 
SERIOUSLY, GAME, I NEED AN ENGINEER
 
Hrm, yeah, I usually at least get a mission or a scan to get one fairly early :/
 
I almost have magnetic weapons already

user15026
@TimStone @Wipqozn's is better.
 
@TimStone friendship ended with @Unionhawk, now @Wipqozn is my best friend
@Yuuki hue
 
The 21:36 has just arrived. It will leave in 13 minutes in the general direction I'm going except it doesn't stop at my station
People on that train will get to sit down comfortably and wait until they've arrived
The train for people going where I need to go is the 21:39, and delayed, and I'm sitting on the stairs
Should I go sit down on that train and step off at the station right before mine
Actually that almost sounds like a plan
I'll take the asshole seat in protest
 
7:27 PM
If anybody in here is in the southeast US, I hope you've taken precautions or evacuated. This is a nasty storm.
 
@badp inb4 that train leaves and you're still aboard
 
Isn't it a bit late now for that
@GodEmperorDune that's the plan. I just need to stop at the first station
 
@badp the tickets are not per train?
 
They're usually by destination and arrival
 
fancy
 
7:30 PM
In Italy you buy a ticket based on how many Kms you're travelling
 
Anyone here good at json?
 
My commute was a 60-km ticket, good for up to 69 km
@SaintWacko that's one scary question
 
@badp nice
 
@SaintWacko Define "good at json".
 
cc @Ave
 
7:31 PM
@badp I don't know how to store a list in json
 
Here you scan at departure and you scan at arrival
 
@GodEmperorDune nice
 
@SaintWacko ???? this is bad
 
@SaintWacko its an array of things
 
Why is a 60km ticket good up to 69km? Why doesn't that make it a 69km ticket?
 
7:32 PM
@Sterno nice
 
@SaintWacko Wouldn't you just use an array?
 
["because", "I mean", "you must already know about this"]
 
@Yuuki Python
@badp Yeah, didn't work
 
@SaintWacko no such representation in json
You have objects {} and arrays []
that's all
 
{"1":"because", "2":"I mean", "3":"you must already know about this", "4":"@uni pls"}
 
7:34 PM
@SaintWacko the json decoder already puts JSON arrays into python lists
 
JSON is not a lossless transmission protocol of python objects :)
 
@Unionhawk Well, first off we're going to kill you for one-indexing.
 
    "picture_load_folder": [
        "F:/DCIM/100MEDIA/",
        "E:/DCIM/100MEDIA/",
        "D:/DCIM/100MEDIA/",
    ]
 
That's what I've written in the json config file
 
7:34 PM
@Yuuki I deleted item 0
or something
 
@Yuuki ?? that's not an array
 
@SaintWacko Surround with object braces.
 
Even though that isn't how objects work
 
I think.
 
{"picture_load_folder": [
    "F:/DCIM/100MEDIA/",
    "E:/DCIM/100MEDIA/",
    "D:/DCIM/100MEDIA/",
]}
 
7:35 PM
@Yuuki It's part of a larger config which is surrounded by braces
 
Missing commas?
 
Are you getting owned by string escaping
 
@badp Right, there's a lot more config on either side of this section which I'm not posting here
 
I think you're being owned by string escaping
"F://DCIM//100MEDIA//"
Try that
 
Oh wait
Shit, I think I might know the problem
 
7:36 PM
Is the problem string escaping
Do not solve this by putting slashes the other way around
 
I was wrong
 
Just do not write JSON by string concatenation
 
@badp It worked just find as a single path
It's just when I tried to make it an array of paths that it broke
 
Oh
Oh no I see the problem
Those are not escaping slashes
"picture_load_folder": [
    "F:/DCIM/100MEDIA/",
    "E:/DCIM/100MEDIA/",
    "D:/DCIM/100MEDIA/"
]
You are not allowed to use trailing commas in JSON even though it's legal in JavaScript
 
Yeah pretty sure the problem was the trailing comma. This isnt Go
 
7:39 PM
Ah, yep
That was it
I'm used to trailing commas in python
 
The JSON parser should have told you that
 
json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 21 column 5 (char 716)
It wasn't very helpful
 
@SaintWacko yeah you have to count chars in the json string to find the offending one
 
But you guys were!
That was also the line after where the offending comma was
 
i think there are also standalonejson parsers/verifiers that you can copy paste into and they will let you know where the validation breaks
 
7:41 PM
@GodEmperorDune That probably would have been a good idea
 
@SaintWacko because it was expecting another element because of the comma
it's saying "where's the extra element" not "you have an extra comma"
 
@GodEmperorDune Ahhh, that makes sense
 
@SaintWacko after a comma, there must be a value, and you put a } instead
 
Yeah, I understand now
And it all seems to be working
Thanks guys!

Q: Age of Empires 3 "Initialization Failed"

rockySo I found the CD set of Age of Empires 3 in a old box and decided to install it on my windows 10 laptop. The install went fine nothing wrong there, but when I try to start up AoE it'll bring you a screen that has the play uninstall website exit as the options and I'll click on play. The screen s...

 
@GodEmperorDune is this for some reason better than jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com ?
 
@MBraedley probably not
i just google for one and use it
and in day to day i use the JSON plugin for notepad++
though that's more for expanding, editing, and minifying
 
@GodEmperorDune There exists such a thing? Too bad my dev work is on Linux these days.
 
@MBraedley yeah, it's here
most of this stuff falls into "good enough" for my purposes and i don't really compare features

8:00 PM
@Yuuki That's adorable
@MBraedley Yeah, I do kinda miss Notepad++
It can be useful for quick stuff, although Vim is waaaaay better
 
@SaintWacko maximum overnostalge
 
@fredley Its find and replace functions were so awesomely powerful
 
i wish more editors had a column based edit mode
 
@SaintWacko ST tho
 
@fredley ST costs money
 
8:02 PM
@fredley Never used it
Heard good things, though
 
I use ST
 
@GodEmperorDune That is why I've never used it
 
@SaintWacko you can use it without license
 
@GodEmperorDune I bought it ~10 years ago, and 10 years ago me made a good investment
 
just pops up some popups every now and then, or so I've heard
 
8:03 PM
I mean it doesn't really cost money in the sense that you can just keep using it forever and every now and then it politely asks you for $80
 
notepad++ is free and easily installable on most work computers
 
but technically it costs money yes
 
@GodEmperorDune windows
 
but then again I have a license so
 
@fredley if you're on linux you have access to much better stuff
 
8:03 PM
@GodEmperorDune Like ST
lolno, of course I mean gedit
 
kate
kate is actually decent tbh
 
> For a song titled 'Piano Man', there sure is a lot of harmonica.
 
@fredley i literally found notepad++ while looking for a gedit replacement on windows
(this was like 10 years ago or so)
 
ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
 
I had to petition to get Notepad++ on my work machine. And by petition, I mean file 'Third party software' requests until they gave up on cancelling the request.
 
8:14 PM
lol
anyone wanna come replace/clean the throttle body on my car plz?
as I have no clue what i'm doing
 
Notepad++ is useful as a general purpose text editor, but for programming something like VS Code, Atom, ... is quite a bit better
 
@MadScientist yeah, it's not going to compete with anything approaching an IDE
 
@MadMAxJr that... is... good you got Notepad++, but it seems pretty stupid you had to fight to get it.
@djsmiley2k I could try, but I would consult Google instead.
 
lol yeah \I don'e that be
 
@djsmiley2k what do mean by "lol yeah \I don'e that be"
 
8:28 PM
d7'
;D
i mean I've done that
 
Is minismiley helping again?
 
@djsmiley2k ok. Where do you live? I will come repair it
 
@TheMattbat999 Free/OSS software is 'bad' here.
 
Coventry, UK
thanks :D
 
@MadMAxJr huh... that is dumb
 
8:38 PM
appently it's 'easy' and 'anyone could do it'
hahaha
 
@djsmiley2k oh... I am a USA based repair teen, sorry
 
Is there some kind of sporting thing going on?
CC @badp I suppose
 
international hurricane dodging?
 
@MBraedley If you're around, get on Steam!
@Wipqozn and I are planning a meetup.
 
8:45 PM
I mean, i'm sure there's some sport going on.... some where?
 
There's a lot of people cheering or something
I 'unno

Q: Minecraft Lag Spikes

F9xMinecraft Lag Spikes I already have Optifine installed, and I've tried doing lower resolution resource packs, turning down my settings, and all that.

Q: I'm trying to install Claysoldiers Mod (MC 1.5.1), Forge (MC 1.5.1) and TMI (MC 1.5.1)

tootendbudSo everyone is telling me, just get the installer version for Forge (MC 1.5.1) but it doesn't exist. i look up how to install forge 1.5.1 and theres no .bin nor a .minecraft OR ANYTHING. How am i supposed to install forge (MC 1.5.1) in 2017??

 
8:53 PM
Or just Hurricane Eternal 2016.
 
My theory is based on what I know from Final Fantasy 6. We moved a buncha statues in the south because of some debate. Now the magical balance is out of whack and the free flow of espers is going to turn this into the world of ruin.
FF6 and reality have a Banon, can't argue that!
 
@Frank @MBraedley pop me a message on steam when you can.
 
Trump Tower / Kefka Tower
 
@MadMAxJr is making a lot of sense right now
 
That's never a good thing when I make sense.
I suspect there's something about a wall and making the Espers pay for it.

Q: Richness value on Enemy base

Wen QinIn the Create new World settings tab, you can change the richness of the enemy base. I know that we had alien science pack in early builds of the game. But does changing the richness of enemy bases affects the gameplay/enemies on the current build of the game? If yes, what does it affect?

> The choice of 'Sogno Di Volare' as the title track for Civ VI bothers me.

ugh tfw you're having crazy mood swings and ppl are saying that it'll last around 3 months
get once, keep forever
 
@Avery Very fun game although I haven't played much since the first few weeks after I got it.
 
that can be said for most games I own :thinking:
 
anyone here familiar with how the humble monthly works?
i subbed to get rise of the tomb raider, if i cancel now do i skip the rest of the month's stuff?
 
I think my cat is in love
there was this beautiful lady-cat outside our window today and our cat really liked her. We went out (without our cat) and gave her treats and our cat was watching her through the screen door
and ever since she left, he's been sulking on the arm of the couch, with this distant look in his eyes looking through the window
 
9:49 PM
@GodEmperorDune I have no clue about that particular scenario.
I would think that you get the month with Tomb Raider.
 
@GodEmperorDune if you pay now and cancel immediately, you will still get your games for this month (i.e the ones that will come with Tomb Raider in October)
 
awesome, thanks @Chippies
 
humble monthly has been my primary source of videogames for the last half a year or so
 
i've gotten a lot of junk from humble bundles in the past in order to get a few good games
 
and every time I buy a game not in a bundle, it ends up being in the monthly soon after (Dark Souls 2)
@GodEmperorDune same, but it's usually worth the money
and with the monthly, I find there's at least 2-3 games I find interesting
plus the big game is usually pretty good too and worth the money (Tomb Raider in this case)
 
9:57 PM
yeah i've been waiting for a good sale on tomb raider
 
10:10 PM
Yeah I'm kind of surprised by how much I'm liking Rise of the Tomb Raider.
Considering I bounced off Uncharted.
 
@RedRiderX did you play the earlier reboot?
 
Dear Naughty Dog, where is Unkarted?
 
@GodEmperorDune I considered it but after looking at a few trailers, I decided I wasn't that into torture porn.
 
3 games then a cart racer, that was your history.
 
They seemed to tone that down a bit in the sequel from what I can tell.
 
10:16 PM
@RedRiderX Tbh, they only toned it down a tiny bit. If you can play RotTR, TR isn't much worse.
I loved the first one. I think I've beaten it... 4 times at this point. :o
 
@Fluttershy That's true, there have been a couple fail states that honestly made me a bit uncomfortable.
But maybe I should just git gud
 
@Fluttershy Well in the one trailer for the first game she gets caught in a bear trap, impaled a on spike, sexually assaulted, and gets covered in the blood of her first victim.
That's what made me nope out
But idk that trailer might have played it up a bit.
 
10:33 PM
@GodEmperorDune 3 cheers!
 
10:47 PM
@Yuuki ok that's cute
 
@RedRiderX all of those things did happen in the game within the first half hour
 
reminds me of that one JW ad though
 
@RedRiderX the almost rape scene was a quicktime event in the story
and blood from the first victim was part of that too
the impaled on a spike thing is a cutscene when you die
 
user15026
...what is this so I know not to play it
 
@GodEmperorDune Nah she was tied up upside down then fell a bit onto a spike
 
10:51 PM
@Ash tomb raider reboot
 
pulled it out
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune Ah, not something I'd poke too hard anyhow, but now I know :)
 
then crawled around a bit and found the mutilated corpse of her friend
 
@RedRiderX hmm, yeah that was early on in the story
 
At that point I was like "is this a horror game?"
 
10:52 PM
i guess it was a lot more gruesome than i remembered
@RedRiderX in rise of the tomb raider, they replaced most of that type of things with lara falling from a thing and landing funny and cradling her arm or limping
but the gruesome death cutscenes are still in there, just not as numerous
 
@GodEmperorDune Yeah I was glad for that.
 
like if you fall into a spike pit, she gets impaled
 
@GodEmperorDune I've done that a few times
And there was that waterfall tomb as well
 
if you fall into fast moving water she bashes her head on a rock and there's blood splatter
 
10:54 PM
@GodEmperorDune she did get impaled with a spike through her side. Wasn't fatal
just a flesh wound
 
@Chippies yeah i was thinking it was a death animation in the first one, not the cutscene for "shit just got real"
the first one had a lot of that
rise seems to be much more "look at the villians executing people because they're assholes"
 
user15026
@Chippies See I know now to always check under the cat first.
 
I never really played a whole lot of that game. Was there much of these "shit just got real" moments later in the game?
I only got as far as that temple thing, don't remember a whole lot about it. I think it burnt down maybe?
 
@Chippies "That temple that burnt down" isn't overly specific in a Tomb Raider game.
 
@Chippies her whole narrative arc of the first game is a progression from normal person to violent adventurer
from "yay hiking is fun" to "i have to kill these wild animals before they eat me" to "oh crap i have to kill in self defense" to "ok this is still sorta self defense" to "ok i'm kinda good at this"
like she doesn't get to psychopath, you can tell she is getting more and more damaged by doing all this killing but she kills easily 100+ people
 
10:59 PM
@GodEmperorDune In the second game she runs up to people and puts a shotgun under their chin.
So psychopath might be a relative term.
 
@RedRiderX yeah she is a lot more violent in rise
especially some of the combat finishers
 
well, I mean, she's always been violent, hasn't she? She is the Tomb Raider after all
 
or the stealth grab and throat cut
 
and with the reboot we're just seeing how she got to that point
 
@Chippies i never played the originals, but she did run around with a pair of pistols iirc
 
11:01 PM
@GodEmperorDune and we all know that dual wielding pistols is something people do for fun, not for efficiency
 
there is a moment in the 2013 tomb raider where she finally duel wields pistols and it's kinda great
 
dual wielding pistols is the worst way to use pistols, but it looks hella cool

Q: How do I make armor stands non-griefable?

MrSnuffleI am trying to make a kit PvP map, and in it I want the players to see different kits/classes represented by armor stands with various equipment on them, to represent the kit. The players will be in adventure mode, and I want to know how to stop them from stealing the items from the armor stands....
