11:09 AM
@Wipqozn Ikea food is REALLY good now
The largest Ikea in North America is in my city the food court floor feels like a fancy college campus
You can get all kinds of stuff
@Ash they make them there
 
It feels like a piece just came off my tooth but I can't find it
FFS
 
@Memor-X wat
@cazc_941 it might have been a chunk of plaque
 
@Memor-X oh artists LOVE pulling that.
"sure my character looks like a minor but I can assure you that they are not"
 
@Avery didn't an eastern MMO do something like this with a playable loli race?
 
11:18 AM
@GodEmperorDune i think that was Terra
 
@Avery honestly I dunno how I feel about that.
I mean sure it's to comply with laws and stuff but idk
 
wait, i think it was Tera
yep, quite sure it was Tera that had the loli race
> Elins are the divine "children" of the goddess Elinu, but do not mistake their waif-like appearance for innocence
waif? you realize that some of us will see it as waifu
 
@Memor-X wat even dafuq
 
@GodEmperorDune I cleaned it real well this morning
 
Every Rick and Morty t-shirt is worse than the one before it
 
11:24 AM
@cazc_941 it's 4AM i am a bit loopy af rn
 
@Memor-X The funny thing about their child-like appearance is that they're the only race that can play the Reaper specialization, which is pretty much an angel of death
 
OH gOD
WHAT IS THIS
Did they update chat with image display
I mean
IIRC I removed fredley's thing
 
@Avery I never had it and the images showed :o
 
@Avery i hope yeah i'm on vanilla and i see it oneboxed
 
@fredley get rekt
 
11:25 AM
I've just disabled it and it works
 
@Nzall still creepy af
 
the weird thing is that Porkchat now shows every image for every image
 
@Avery also i like make america schwifty again
 
@GodEmperorDune if i recall correctly, Tera is a Koren Game.....they are just across the ocean from Japan. anime corruption is to blame
 
Or not
 
11:26 AM
@Nzall yo dawg, i heard you like images
also this one is great
 
@Avery we did :)
your message was the very first one to use it in a public chat room
 
@balpha nice
 
test
139 characters
yup, works alright
 
@Nzall hue
this was a good twete
 
@balpha neat!
 
11:29 AM
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha rip @fredley
 
absolutely unacceptable.
 
Or good work @fredley if they borrowed your code
 
Now, to do css magic and images appear smaller because that tweet is covering a whole screen for me.
 
i dunno if i've ever been in bridge before @uni wakes up before
 
@Avery you may have to refresh the page
 
11:32 AM
 
@GodEmperorDune isn't it like 4:30
 
@Avery yeah, that looks about right
 
@Unionhawk yeah you missed 4:20 by 10 minutes
 
@Nzall not new to me. i've recently been playing with a party member who's a child but her code name is The Angel of Slaughter, with the scythe, bloodlust and everything
 
That's how it looks to me with Porkchat enabled
 
11:35 AM
 
I'm an idiot
8
 
so I get columns of 8 images
 
hm, this is how it looks with .ob-tweet-image { max-width: 200px; }
I like this more tbh
 
@Unionhawk yes you are
 
@Unionhawk It does. disabling tweet images in porkchat makes it look normal
Starring bridge members who insult themselves never gets old
 
11:38 AM
@Avery I'm going to observe this in use for a while, then think about tweaking the layout based on that

Q: Impossible to change to lich race

msm.oliveiraI started playing Art of Conquest a few days ago. I noticed that it is possible to switch between human races, dwarves and lichs. I would like to play with the lich race, but whenever I click to swap it always says that it is locked. How can I trade for this race?

Q: How to build workshop

msm.oliveiraI got a new mission that says that I need to build a level 1 workshop. My castle is already level 7 and I have no option to build the workshop. I have already lurked what are the building that I can build with the castle at level 8 and I keep not having the option to build the workshop. Do I ne...

 
yay, release done
time to go home and sleep
later bridge
get rekt at ikea @Wipqozn
 
Someone literally took a shit on the ground outside the receiving door at work overnight
 
@GodEmperorDune gnight fam
 
All over the wall and ground
 
11:40 AM
@cazc_941 :/
@cazc_941 wtf
that's some nasty shit
 
@cazc_941 why? No bathroom nearby, or just wanted to?
 
No idea it was there when we got here
Receiver was like hey wanna see something gross
No
Come look anyway
 
@cazc_941 Hang on. Are you sure it is human shit, and not dog shit?
 
Yes
It's like the size of a dog
It's either that or puke but it don't smell like puke
 
The size of a dog? that must have hurt
@fredley so how do I disable the Konami code easter egg once I enabled it?
like, is all I can do reloading?
 
11:53 AM
@cazc_941 Superb bowel movements
 
I'm trying to imagine the smallest dog I can and it's still huge for something to come out of there
 
@Nzall exactly what I thought, too. Like, God, the pain and relief at the same time!

@Avery wat
 
@TheMattbat999 In some respects, I'm glad they didn't use a toilet. Imagine the damage a flushed pomeranian would do to your plumbing
Fuck, I ripped my shirt elbow when I was pulling up my sleeves for washing my hands
 
12:03 PM
@Nzall yeah
 
@TheMattbat999 basically git is one of the most commonly used version control tools, subversion is one that's less popular and stuff, there's also tfs but we don't talk about tfs and there's people who do version control by copy-pasting the folder where the source code is stored.
 
@Nzall :(
 
I mean
using vsts and git with that isn't terrible
 
@Avery wat is TFS
 
team foundation server.
 
12:05 PM
@Avery ok
 
I mean tfs isn't that terrible
I mostly used it with C# code and it was fine
but the moment I tried to push an unreal engine project (which used C++) it broke horribly
 
@Avery that sucks
 
well, I had been using git ever since and it's pretty nice.
 
@balpha pls
 
They're all bad and terrible in their own ways
 
12:10 PM
yes
 
Just like us
Well, me at least
 
@Avery idk, I really haven't gotten far enough into a project to worry about that yet
 
@TheMattbat999 you should probably use version control anyways
 
@Ronan it is everyone
 
@Ronan you and @Wipqozn
and everyone else.
 
12:12 PM
I'd recommend using version control from the beginning, even if it's just locally it means you can look back at old versions if you break something
@Avery But especially @Wipqozn
But especially me
 
@Avery I will look into it
 
@TheMattbat999 gitlab and vsts both provide free private git repos though I'd recommend gitlab more if you want a less terrible UI and VSTS if you want a more reliable service, though gitlab should probably be fine.
 
Using git for the first time will probably suck massively
That's generally expected.
 
pro tip
git init
git add .
git commit
git push
 
12:16 PM
(also git remote add origin <url> to attach the repo to a remote place [like gitlab] and git remote set-url origin <url> to change the remote place)
 
@Avery GitHub (and most other places) will tell you how to do that now - you literally just have to copy paste in the commands
Which is quite nice
 
(when pushing, you need to do git push --set-upstream origin <branch-name> [if you don't know what the branch name is, it's probably master] the first time you add the origin)
@PrivatePansy yeah, but who reads those, amirite
 
@Ronan no one is more terribawfulester than @Wipqozn
 
Unrelated
 
@Avery I hate it when you git push and git's all like "I don't know what branch you could possibly want to push to, please copy/paste this line then fill it in because how would I even have any idea"
PLS GIT
 
12:18 PM
@fredley Isn't there a setting for it?
 
who needs a wii u or a nintendo switch when you can download SPLAT TON on app store today
 
I think you can tell git to not be stupid
 
@Avery that looks not fun, but whatever
 
Visual Studio by default even comes with a module that SHOULD simplify integration with Github
 
@Nzall should being the buzzword.
 
12:19 PM
However, it's somewhat harder to work with
 
yeah it's a huge pain
 
@fredley fishhhhhhhhhhh
 
digging through menus to commit and push and stuff
@badp zshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I mean fish is pretty good I guess
 
I just type in HEAD~3 and "git fetch; git rebase --autostash; and git push origin HEAD~3:trunk" comes up
 
@badp But mah bosh scropts
 
12:21 PM
@fredley just put #!/bin/bash smh
actually it's more complex isn't it
 
@Avery But mah .bash_profile
@Avery yoss
 
> #!/usr/bin/env bash
yeah just this
@fredley you can just copy majority of it to .zshrc
which reminds me, I should recover me .zshrc from my backups
had some nifty stuff in that.
 
(and then no computer program was able to start properly that day)
 
@badp what do you people keep in your zshrc jeez
 
nothing, myself
 
12:24 PM
@Avery 500 lines of something
 
@badp ...and that is how @Uni saved Christmas or whatever...
 
@Wipqozn I remember when I was excited for IKEA
in like, 2012
holy shit no 2008
jesus
 
@fredley what do you even keep in there
 
@Unionhawk did you save Christmas at IKEA?
 
@Avery aliases, git prompt shit, autocompletion shit
 
12:28 PM
@fredley "git prompt shit"?
 
@Avery git prompt shit
 
oh
 
@Avery So that the branch, branch status etc are in PS1
 
@fredley why don't you just use a zsh theme that does that
 
virtualenvwrapper doesn't work in fish
 
12:30 PM
this is how my prompt looks like
 
this is terrible
 
 
@Avery Well quite, lines
 
what
 
@Avery LINES
 
12:32 PM
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||\
 
Goodbye everybody
 
@fredley venvs are bad anyway
 
@badp Heretic
 
@badp you're bad anyway
 
@fredley when's the last time you checked your dependencies for updates
 
12:33 PM
@Unionhawk it is in his name
 
@badp What do you use that does this?
 
I dunno most venv-y things I see have extremely strict requirements
and get really upset when they can't have prompt_toolkit==0.60 or whatever
 
@badp Checking for updates is a faff, I'll admit
@badp I haven't had that problem tbh. Venv practice is usually to keep a master.venv file with just your direct dependencies, pip will handle subdependencies by itself
 
you remove that check from the source code and everything works fine
 
@badp The worst thing for this is PyQT because they remove old versions from PyPi as soon as they release a new one
 
12:37 PM
@SaintWacko wat
 
So if you need an old version because you're not on the latest version of python, you have to install it manually
It's miserable
 
@SaintWacko That reminds me of the days of Mac development, where we'd hoard old versions of MacOS, XCode etc.
 
@fredley I actually ran into an issue with this the other day. The dependency was set at >=1.10, so if you just installed the standard requirements it installed the 1.13 version
But the code didn't work with the 1.13 version
 
@SaintWacko The problem here sounds like the dependency was wrong
 
It needed 1.10.3 or something
@fredley Well, the thing that had the dependency worked just fine with 1.13
It was elsewhere in the code where that module was being used that didn't work
It took a bit to figure out the problem because in the deploy requirements, it was pinned at 1.10.3
So if you installed the deploy requirements without have first installed the regular requirements, it worked just fine
 
12:41 PM
@Unionhawk I honestly don't understand (my hype is mocking)
 
@SaintWacko faff
 
It was only because I had switched over to pyenv-venv and recreated my environments that my install started failing
 
I don't have too many dependencies, just Django and a few django things mostly
I prefer to reinvent the wheel constantly build things myself where possible
 
@fredley We have a lot of different things. To be honest, I'm not sure what all of them do
Okay, I need to actually head into work now
Brb
 
@SaintWacko Sounds like you have a dependency problem
 
12:42 PM
@fredley How could you live without leftpad tho?
 
@Wipqozn I mean it's a decent tourist destination offering decent mid-tier furniture
 
@PrivatePansy five.js.org
five.tooSlow() // 5, with a ~500 millisecond delay
 
I mean, look at this
That's an IKEA product used as a cat bed
How can you be against that @Wipqozn
 
five.smooth() // S
five.r(); // '£5'
 
@fredley why
 
12:46 PM
@Avery It's a library for 5, I don't see what your question is
 
@fredley Oh wow, map-reduce enabled on five - looks like this library is going into my next big data project

@Unionhawk PICTURE EMBEDS????
WHAT IS THIS
 
@badp New feature introduced overnight
 
12:57 PM
let's see
 
1 hour ago, by balpha
your message was the very first one to use it in a public chat room
 
Poor @fredley only just patched Porkchat to use it
 
oh god
 
sets fire to @badp
 
I WONDER WHAT THIS TWEET MIGHT REALLY BE
 
1:02 PM
oh god, I'm going to have to do TONS of Tomb of Sargeras the coming week
 
> i JUST MADE A SANDWICH. best sandwich every! :)
 
I sent out every raid mission I can get on my characters
Half of them don't even have the gear to enter ToS
 
@Nzall It looks like it only applies to new posts, though. You'll still need to click through on old posts.
 
Probably, that's how youtube titles worked
Remember when that was an new feature
 
1:06 PM
@Unionhawk Oh god, that might be even before when I became a regular on the Bridge
Or, you're just talking about the title overlay on the one-box? Yeah, I do remember that.
 
I don't think so
Yeah
 
That was still a while ago
 
@fredley found the emoji hater
 
cc @Ash
 
1:10 PM
first brexit, now remojit, what next
 
New arrival at the Houston Zoo.
Although when I say "new arrival", I mean "he was born in February of this year".
 
: friday :
 
@fredley pls
 
@Unionhawk ugh, I want this for my cat now so she can not use it
 
:friday:

1:15 PM
 
I understand how your thing works yes
 
I hope porkchat put the friday embed in the sidebar
 
@badp 🤔
 
@badp nope, it doesn't
 
oh wel
 
1:16 PM
Just reads ':friday':

bam
I'm pretty sure porkchat replaces that

Q: Can I turn off my PS4 with my Vita using Remote Play?

VemonusI've been using my Vita for Remote Play recently to the point that I haven't turned on my TV for days (go figure). However, despite how much I've been using it, while I know how to turn the PS4 on with the Vita, I have no idea how to turn it off. There is a "Button Guide" that you can access by p...

 
Maybe on 01/04/2022 I'll do another Porkchat Friday lollathon
 
oh yes he should make them autoplay
 
Watch this space
 
1:18 PM
Why even bother if you don't subject your users to actual youtube embeds that autoplay
Everybody is pivoting to video these days
 
I'll just replace Bridge with Friday forever
 
also @fredley how do you change message text
 
I wonder if I can trick Chrome into thinking chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/35 is 301'd to Friday
 
@fredley Remember last time Porkchat got flagged as malicious...?
 
@fredley 301 would be a little hard, but you can easily redirect using JS
 
1:22 PM
@SaintWacko Lol, yes

@fredley he still has his nose
Saturday my brother in law was cosplaying as voldemort and we must have heard a few dozen people mentioning the fact that he still has his nose
 
@fredley I'm sad that the FAQ in the sidebar doesn't include the question "Have you split your soul into seven pieces and attempted to take over the Wizarding World?".
 
1:28 PM
@fredley I'm not surprised at all.
 
@fredley i find it funny that the website caused the aptop to bluescreen
 
1:47 PM
@PrivatePansy Those demos are pretty glitchy. The camera movements don't match the mouse movement. If you select a star on the Hello Metaverse demo and drag, the star and mouse don't move together
 
@Unionhawk wait am I the same as @Dragonrage?
 
I'm sorry you had to find out this way
 
It's okay though, many people have lived long fulfilling lives despite being @Dragonrage.
 
@Nzall wouldn't it be because of distance?
 
@Chippies maybe, but I'd expect that if I place my mouse on a star, hold the left mouse button and then drag to the right, the star should move at a similar speed to the mouse cursor
 
2:01 PM
the movement seems like the 360 video standard
@Nzall this is the problem with a lot of things like this - if the cursor is made invisible, it feels much more natural
 
Pause the video, place your mouse somewhere and move it horizontally or vertically
 
@Nzall well, really, the difference is that in the video you're dragging the video, whereas in the webdemo, you're dragging the camera view
 
Horizontally, the mouse always stays roughly on the same spot on the video. Drag his head, it stays on his head
 
it still seems to be moving at around the same speed as the webdemo
it's just represented differently, because of what the cursor is doing
 
oh right, the metaverse demo is moving the opposite way from the Youtube video
That's what confuses me
you drag the mouse to the left, and the demo moves to the right
 
2:06 PM
@Nzall like I said - in the video you're dragging the video, whereas in metaverse you're dragging the camera view
it makes more sense if you visualize it like that
took me 4 drags to make a full rotation in the video and roughly 4.5-5 drags in metaverse
so it's not the same, but it's not that far off
actually, the youtube video takes longer drags to rotate a full circle in fullscreen, whereas metaverse stays the same
because, like I said, in the video, you're dragging the video, so by stretching the video, the dragging movements required for a full rotation are longer
 
oh jesus that flag
and by extension that discussion room
 
dammit
 
get rekt
 
@Unionhawk I have no idea what to flag that, so I just flagged it as invalid
Assuming you're talking about the flag that conflates Trump and 9/11
 
"Donald Trump" has 11 letters, "Donald" 6 - "Trump" 5 = 1. 1 * 9 = 9. Trump == 9/11 confirmed.
 
2:12 PM
the math checks out
 
Good morning bridge. Do we have any coffee in here?
 
no
 
@MadMAxJr No, I already finished my coffee :(
 
ugh
 
@MBraedley And you didn't make more? D:

Q: How do you deliberately wake up a monster in a den?

NelsonIn monster dens, I sometimes find a sleeping monster which I want to kill for loot. However, stepping on him doesn't trigger combat. I've tried using monster abilities like Roar, jumping on them, running over them, harvesting everything in the room, etc., but I have no idea what wakes them up. ...

Q: Should this question have been re-opened?

WondercricketThere was a question that was asked involving gaming history and color schema of item rarity. As standards go on this site, this is off-topic as it requesting the identity of the game that first used the this color schema. The reason why it is off-topic are, per the tag wikis, are the following: ...

 
hmm... lunch
 
@SepiaLazers Wait, who voted to reopen that?
 
jesus it's only 10:41
@Yuuki I forget how to check when there's no edits
uhhhhhh
questions->posts, remove title, add /revisions
I'm not sure how I feel about this
 
2:43 PM
Hmm... I'm not sure I agree with this re-opening, partly because I'm pretty sure this question has been asked before.
 
I did see it in the queue and I skipped it there
 
Outside of that, there's just something about the question that I don't like.
And I can't really place it.
"Where do crosshairs in first-person shooters come from?"
 
Right
 
I honestly don't like the tag at all.
Any question I can think of that falls under that tag is problematic.
 
Yep
 
2:47 PM
@Yuuki you know those squiggly lines you sometimes see in your eyes? Well, in first person shooters the scientists have figured out how to move them into certain shapes...

Q: How did the term 'noob' originate?

Gordon GustafsonThe terms 'n00b', 'nub', and 'newby' are all over gamer culture, but where did they come from? Did someone just decide we need a general word for someone who is unskilled? Is it a corruption of 'new' or some other word?

2010 arqade pls
 
So "N00b" and "nub" are old terminology dating back to the 80s and 90s but "newbie" is modern slang coined during the Vietnam War.
TIL the Vietnam War occurred after the 80s and 90s.
 
Oh, so apparently marking a flag as "not sure" is saying "it's 1/5th invalid"
Okay, now I definitely want my flag validity verification privileges revoked
 
@Nzall So what you're saying is that "not sure" votes are a third of 3/5ths?
 
2:56 PM
@Yuuki not nzall, but yes, that's how math works

A: How many chat flags are required to remove a message/ban a user?

balphaThese are the current numbers ("current" because they can obviously be changed, but there aren't any plans to do so; they have been like this for a while): The threshold is six, meaning the net flag count of the message has to reach six. Net flag count means the number of flags minus the number ...

 
@Nzall That says "meh" votes are 1/5th of a "no" vote.
 
Right
 
> The "meh" votes are taken into account with a ratio of 1:5 (and rounded downwards); in other words, for every five people doing nothing with the flag, we deduct one from the net count.
 
And when the net count hits 0 it's invalidated
 
11
Q: What does the "Not Sure" chat flag response do?

SkoobaPretty straightforward here... When a chat flag appears for 10k+ users, we are given three options. Valid Invalid Not Sure After reading this post, I am... not sure... what the third option does. Since the SE Network has sites dedicated to languages other than English, chat messages may al...
