@Yuuki I will always enjoy that thing. I love how it seems to be using the arms as basically a controlled jointed counterweight the way many animals use tails
 
@murgatroid99 i prefer to think of it as running around flailing
 
user15026
It just seems like it is very proud of itself at one point like super fist pump yeah look at me I waaaaaalk

Geogebra

Proposed Q&A site for users of Geogebra, a free on-line tool especially remarkable for its geometrical capabilities.

Currently in definition.

 
@Ash i mean walking is tough, just watch a baby trying to figure it out
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune I'm 30 and I am literally relearning the mechanics of walking as part of my strength training. It's hard as balls
 
1:13 AM
@Ash Are you familiar with koreader?
 
Bridge, I am tired. I've been working all day. Just fixed my garage, though!
 
user15026
@SaintWacko I am not, if anyone I can think of is, @Avery might be
 
1:29 AM
Okay, why does my cat freak out about the google eye on my desk?
It's upside down, even!
And she's crouching on my desk staring at it and twitching
 
1:40 AM
I just realized all 6 questions I asked have no answers except one, which I ended up answering
 
user15026
@SaintWacko Cats are strange
 
@SaintWacko your cat is functioning as expected
(one of mine has, for the last few nights, decided to murder the toddlebot's toy car around bedtime
 
Iron Banner in Destiny 2 is garbage.
 
She then reached out a paw, batted it causing it to flip over, then fled across the room

Q: (Spoiler) Which king + Eltariel side mission disappeared?

Balázs ÉdesIn Act 2, after regaining the new ring of power I briefly saw a mission on the ground which mentioned a ring wraith (probably had something to do with Eltariel, the elf lady who saved us from domination in Act 1). Since I was very interested in how fort sieges go, I decided to complete that que...

 
1:44 AM
@SaintWacko maybe she thinks it is looking at her?
 
user15026
@ToxicFrog My guess is Suzie, she generally is more murder inclined, but then again Epsilon is so quiet that maybe she just plots and waits for the right time
 
@Ash oh, Epsilon definitely plots and waits, but yeah, this was Suzie
Epsilon is curled up at the foot of the bed glaring at me every time I try to adjust the blankets

Q: Does A Hat in Time have content from Psychonauts 2?

Steven VascellaroOn Steam's list of recently updated games, I was surprised to see q banner for a Hat in Time which said "Featuring special content from Psychonauts 2" I've played through a large amount of A Hat in Time, but I never saw any content from Psychonauts. The closest thing I could find was an easter e...

Q: How do you get the admin console on ark?

user198263How do you get the admin console in ark?

 
3:07 AM
@Lazers2.0 I'd like to know why that was downvoted
 
3:46 AM
> You know boss, there's a smarter way to kill all these enemies of yours. What you do, is you go in a cave, wait 30 or 40 years, and then when you come out, they'll all be dead! Smart, huh
thanks Ishmoz

Q: Should I leave a space between a natural wonder and my settlement?

starscream_disco_partyOr should I build the city right next to it? It seems like the districts would be the ones to get the bonus from being next to a natural wonder but I wanted to verify

 
... you just know his parents did that on purpose.
 
user15026
@Yuuki when I see stuff like that I just hope it's a language barrier thing
 
...TIL mounted executions count for Mortal Beast Fodder kills
good enough
ez vendetta
 
3:59 AM
@Ash Yeah, they likely meant "Petrasaur".
Much cooler.
 
user15026
@Yuuki I was thinking petrichor or however you spell that smell word
 
OK NEMESIS SYSTEM IN THIS GAME IS OFFICIALLY 3000% COOLER
 
TIL that's a real word
 
user15026
Yeah, that word!
 
@Unionhawk why?
 
4:11 AM
@GodEmperorDune There are so many additional possible outcomes
I broke a captain to try to recruit him, but he refused, so I merely left him with the shame of his defeat
 
@Unionhawk do they still interrupt combat so everyone twitches in place while they make their speech?
@Unionhawk wait how does he refuse the branding?
i thought it was mind control
 
@GodEmperorDune the game just told me "Iron Will - cannot recruit" or something
Shaming a captain is supposed to delevel them
 
@Unionhawk oh its like an anti-brand modifier
 
He comes back to face me, unshamed, and stronger than before
When I go to finish him this time, he informs me that his blood brother will ensure that his debt is paid
but then I goddamn missed the finishing hit and he escaped >_>
 
so really this is a lrn2play moment
 
4:14 AM
I mean it was a QTE miss that honestly is fine
he'll come back
I did get the sword that broke earlier though
and yeah it's several levels stronger than it was so that's pretty cool
That fight with the unshamed one also pulled a "death defying" fight result so that's also fun
 
Should I interpret this to mean that Darth Vader is also their pastor?
 
user15026
@Yuuki I would.
 
@Yuuki thats an interesting church with the rev. vader
 
user15026
Well you know, some churches call their leader father whatever so really it is just on brand
 
5:08 AM
@SaintWacko I am
I run both koreader and nickel on my reader through ksm
 
user15026
5:20 AM
I thought you would know about that stuff! :
 
user15026
tucks loopy painkiller laden self into bed with their snuggly Arctic foxes and their blue whale plush because plushes from good humans are like long distance hugs Good night, Bridge. May tomorrow, at the very least, be a different sort of day if it cannot be a better one.
 
6:02 AM
@Ash gnight!
 
6:30 AM
From our user interaction course: this was a thing that was actually built
People thought it was a good idea
 
6:43 AM
@PrivatePansy the hardcoded names?
 
@GodEmperorDune Everything. To dial, you actually click on the receiver handle
The names are 'speed dial'
 
oh this was a digital thing?!
wtf
i thought this was like a mockup of a manufactured phone
 
 
1 hour later…
7:56 AM
GODDAMMIT @UNI. YOU'RE MAKING ME WANT TO BUY THE BLOODY GAME.
 
8:07 AM
what game?
 
S-s
S-someone is reading a hentai in class
Just why
 
@Avery Holy fuck, are you sure you did your research for the school you wanted to go to?
First that principal, now the hentai student, what else is going to happen?
 
@Dragonrage Shadow of War.
 
@GodEmperorDune Nope. It was a real thing IBM actually built.
 
@Nzall soon it'll turn out that the president is actually a bear
 
8:18 AM
@Avery Or that the gym teacher regularly supplexes deer
 
Actually maybe
 
8:40 AM
@PrivatePansy ohgod
 
@Avery Someone is what .-.
 
8:57 AM
@ASCII-only not sure if serious question or not
 
@Avery serious question: how could you tell :/
 
@ASCII-only i saw his screen
 
Oh on a laptop
 
Phone
 
> Games 1,000
Offtopic: ^ do you have like insane self restraint to not buy more games
@Avery How could you see it then O_o
 
8:59 AM
@ASCII-only he sits next to me
@ASCII-only well, it's less about self restraint and more about not really playing games anymore
 
Oh
<- Sits at the back of lecture theater far away from everyone else
 
i had like 1026 games for so long but somehow 30 games vanished so I just bought 4 random games to hit 1000 games again
@ASCII-only I'm on HS so class is small
 
@Avery Wouldn't that many games have cost a lot? Or did you just set aside part of your holiday to get all the F2P games
 
@ASCII-only f2p games don't add to game count
 
@Avery :| Oh yeah forgot everyone not on programming-related SE sites are in high school
 
9:02 AM
It cost me like 5k Turkish Liras
@ASCII-only most people here are much older
 
@Avery :/ Maybe it's just PPCG then
 
Oh yup
Ppcg has so, so many young members
 
@Avery yup
 
After @Avery there are about 4/5 of us who have just finished/finishing uni, and then everyone else has been working for a while
 
@ASCII-only nice
 
9:18 AM
I have 445 games, worth 5826 EUR at current prices.
My Steam Profile (from SteamDB)
 
@Nzall O_o 5826 EUR
 
@ASCII-only That collection has been built up over the past 6 years, and it's current price, so from purchasing cost it's probably a little bit more
 
@Nzall :| formatting doesn't work for multiline messages
 
yeah, I'm not going to spam chat with 4 different lines
 
Though I only spent like 1k eur at most.
Am I disappointed in myself? Yes
 
9:22 AM
@Avery though or thought?
 
@Nzall Though
 
Though
 
I'm guessing they're cheaper because of sales or Humble Bundles (>_> I don't think someone would think they spent 8x less than they did)
 
@ASCII-only Could be a typo
 
@ASCII-only yeah exactly
And I used to use g2a before I learned how terrible they are
 
9:24 AM
<- still uses g2a
 
:pls:
 
:| I know they're terrible but it's sometimes too good to resist
 
@ASCII-only Actually, checking right now, a bunch of those games are duplicates where an upgraded version has been added to my collection for free
 
I mostly play retro games nowadays
 
@Avery Retro?
thinks of Pong
 
9:26 AM
Nes, snes, n64, nds, gb, gbc, gba
Also soon psp
 
O_o PSP/NDS count as retro?
 
@ASCII-only they're 12 years old by now
 
Still not what I think of when I hear the word "retro"
 
Eh, they're mostly abandonware nowadays
 
@Avery D: no apple pippin
 
9:28 AM
Not really retro but still not mainstream
 
@Avery If you're "acquiring" DS games I suggest the Ace Attorney series
 
@Ronan i'll check them out
hides her r4 cartridge
 
It's probably my favourite series
 
@Avery :| isn't not using r4's a massive inconvenience
 
9:41 AM
Well yes
 
10:05 AM
ugh
I went to logistics thing, asked for my packages, they only had one. I told them to not deliver both of them. Whatever, the person there called the delivery people, they told that they are indeed delivering it and will be at my place in 30 mins. So ugh, I signed that one, picked it up and ran home and am absolutely dying.
I went like a kilometer in 5 minutes
 
10:26 AM
Alrighty, ace attorney series are now "acquired"
 
@Avery That's not that bad
 
@ASCII-only thing is I have no muscles
and I don't work out
 
<- Is basically superglued to computer
@Avery Maybe it's because I usually get a stitch before I manage to run a kilometer so I can't actually run all the way >_>
 
well yes
same
 
10:41 AM
 
Anyone planning on getting down today? or looking forward to the next 2 days?
 
@Nzall wdym?
 
@Avery it's Friday, and we all know we "gotta get down on Friday", And that many are "Looking forward to the weekend, weekend"
 
@Nzall OH NO NOT THAT SONG
shudders
 
@ASCII-only Is this your first Friday on the bridge?
 
10:50 AM
@Nzall IDK, maybe?
 
I guarantee you before the day is over, someone will have posted a link to Rebecca Black - Friday masquerading as a genuine link
It's so prevalent that Fredley actually included something to mark the links in his Porkchat extension
 
@Nzall Does The Bridge not have rickrolls
 
@ASCII-only That also happens
 
Over at TNB the majority of us can tell if a link is a rickroll or not from the address haha
 
KANGAROOS FEAR VISTA
 
10:58 AM
discovers smogon
Why is there a Mega Rayquaza Clause
 
SALES FOR OPERATING SYSTEM BRING JAPANESE YEN: 0
 
@ASCII-only tbf, just linking to the youtube page is easymode, at one point @fredley got his site blacklisted by google for some trick he used to switch to friday.
 
@Arperum Trick to switch to friday?
 
@Arperum Lol, no, it wasn't the hack, it was a separate page I'd set up as a PoC where the redirect isn't to Friday, it's to a fake Google Login page
Apparently Google doesn't like that
 
@fredley Heh.
 
11:00 AM
@fredley Of course Google wouldn't like a phishing page >_>
 
@ASCII-only It's not phishing, it's a PoC
 
Yeah :P but it looks like a phishing page, I'd assume they wouldn't bother to check if it actually works, as long as it looks fishy they just blacklist it?
 
@Avery :| .html extension why
 
@Nzall dunno, friday trolls are getting rarer and rarer lately
@ASCII-only it's the homepage for the language
 
11:03 AM
-1 .html is obsolete
btw yes I already clicked it >_>
 
finally.
I missed friday-trolling people.
 
Oh also on your GH profile you make it sound like Arduino is a language
 
I'm too lazy to fix it.
 
@fredley I forgot you own glitch.me dammit.
 
11:05 AM
@Arperum he doesn't
 
Also: TIL Pebble is dead
 
it's been dead for a loooooong time
yet it lives on
 
@fredley this is way too long
 
I still have pebble on my arm to this day
 
11:06 AM
@ASCII-only Your face is way too long
 
@fredley OH SNAp
cc @Wipqozn on that sick burn
 
@fredley does the part where you cut the link in two break the warning of porkchat?
 
@Arperum yes
 
@fredley Fancy.
 
@fredley fix pls
 
11:10 AM
(a=(e=require('express'))()).use(e.static('public'))
a.get("/",(q,s)=>s.send('<script>location="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfVsf'+'OSbJY0"'))
 
actually wait I can edit now
 
@fredley To the correct room this time. No more moving to android enthousiasts?
 
@ASCII-only This can be shorter
@Arperum I will never move a message to Android Enthusiasts ever again
 
@fredley I should do that.
 
11:12 AM
@fredley You made a button to move stuff to the correct room?
 
@Arperum I now search 'Hell' instead of 'Android'
 
@fredley lol
So the trick is to get android enthousiast to add hell to their room name. scribbles note
 
@Arperum Android Enthusiasts, say hello!
 
@fredley Shush, I reserve the right to butcher spelling of words whenever I please.
 
11:16 AM
@fredley What about you make that a challenge on codegolf? "shortest code to redirect to Friday without triggering porkchat"
 
@Arperum @ASCII-only has only got so much time in their day, I assume
Also they kinda broke it
 
Yeah hang on

Q: Can Xbox One S and DualShock 4 controllers work over bluetooth at the same time?

SasanI just bought a Xbox One S controller and a Bluetooth 4.0 CSR dongle for my PC. It works great. Now I want to play games (mostly FIFA) with my brother and I need to buy another controller. I listed my preferred ways but I don't know if they work. If anyone has tried these scenarios or is %100 s...

 
12:03 PM
 
And use that
@ASCII-only I mean, if you're allowed to use external packages, then you might as well publish a Friday package to npm
(I take no responsibility for this madness)

Q: Does letting the Conductor or DJ win change anything?

ZissouuIn A Hat in Time does it change anything to let the Conductor or DJ win? Also can I go back to the stages after the winnings to attempt to do better?

 
12:46 PM
@Nzall The funny thing is that straight borders actually means the border was likely to have been drawn arbitrarily, before any (white) man has set foot in the territory. Borders in places where people have actually lived are often very messy
 
@PrivatePansy Many of those borders are actually based on rivers
 
yeah Ohio's southern border is the Ohio River and I think another one on the east
 
@Nzall Yes, but for them to even demarcate a border on a river, they must actually know there is a river there
 
@Nzall I feel like the solution to Oklahoma's panhandle would be to make Texas a little taller, not to have a huge strip of nonsense land.
 
Also, unfortunately rivers shift
Which makes things messier
 
12:49 PM
@StrixVaria Yeah but also artistic flair
 
@Nzall Don't like 99% of squiggly borders follow rivers/lakes/coastline?
 
The IPS comments are pure gold sometimes
Exactly! It might feel a little forward placing items on a table where people are still in the process of leaving, but you can disguise the act. Placing a bag on the table and declaring "I'm going to find a menu" - you were just freeing your hands. Placing a coat on a chair as the occupant is standing, you're helping move the chair out their way as you thank them. Whatever you do to mark the table, blend it into something banal you could be doing anyway. And finally, don't mark the table by peeing on it.. — Grimm The Opiner yesterday
 
Lots of the eastern borders are weird because they didn't know how wide the US was so everyone was trying to get part of their state on the west so it would just extend all the way
 
That final line
 
12:50 PM
@PrivatePansy there's an entire subcategory for the tenessee river lol
 
@Nzall Well, on the Internet nobody knows you're a dog
 
I mean, why would you commit 3 different crimes and get banned from your favorite coffee shop just so you can sit at a table that ends up covered in piss? part 2 of joke is in TIF because I'm getting political
 
@PrivatePansy LONG LIVE THE WEDGE
 
Also, placing small items (typically packets of tissue) on tables to reserve them is very very Singaporean
 
I'm not too sure whether splitting up that joke was worth it. It totally ruined the rhytm
But hey, since we can't get political in here, I'll just have to manage
 
12:55 PM
 
@Unionhawk That subcategory has like 3 levels of subcategories beneath it
Tenneessee river => Tributaries of the Tennessee river => Holston River => Elk River => Tributaries of Elk River
 
@Nzall What do the different kinds of arrows mean?
 
What different kinds?
that was just an error btw
 
So... you know, if we all die in a global thermonuclear war, I think humanity as a whole deserved it
 
You can even go 3 levels higher as well
See also: Category:Dependent territories Category:Divided regions...
then go for the first subcategory, by location, then to the North America, then to United States of America, then to Internal disputes

> Charlie Heaton as Sam Guthrie / Cannonball: a Kentuckian mutant "who can propel himself into the air and is invulnerable while doing so."

TIL opening doors gives iframes in Dark Souls
@Yuuki :| that's a really long dash
 
Our local Netflix just added 50 Shades of Grey
I kinda want to watch it just to see how terrible it is
 
My local netflix just keeps removing things :(
Oh, and apparently they're going to raise the prices
I'm not even sure Netflix is worth the money anymore
 
1:27 PM
@SaintWacko There is this new thing called Movies anywhere, which promises they can give you a central location for all of your Google Play, Itunes, Hulu and Amazon video movies
As in, you just connect your accounts to your central account and you can buy and watch a movie from 5 major movie publishers
 
@Nzall For one price?
Oh
/shrug
 
@SaintWacko Even better, the account is free, you just need to buy the movie
 
Meh
The nice thing about Netflix is I didn't have to pay to buy a movie or TV show I was just going to watch once
 
Thing is, I feel like that's what the movie industry needs: a Steam equivalent
As in a central place where you can buy most of the movies on the market
 
1:30 PM
> The true cache is the memories they created along the way.
 
._.
do you ever get rid of something
and then your ide complains it's still there?
because that's happening right meow
 
@BlueBarren Had that happen before, was due to caching
Not on the part of the IDE itself, mind you
 
@BlueBarren Usual route you take is: check you're in the right folder; rebuild project; close and restart IDE; Restart PC
 
It was some leftover build artifacts
 
1:33 PM
roger
 
@Nzall Google Play :P (well I'm sure one of the services you mentioned is already more than enough)
 
hmm
I need to redo this method to make it work
 
@Unionhawk this method?
 
1:53 PM
@BlueBarren If that fails, reinstall windows
 
@fredley You need to try restarting first
 
2:12 PM
Left paperclips running overnight. Whee.
 
@fredley now there's some escalation I can get behind
 
@MadMAxJr I didn't know paperclips could run
Are said paperclips also trying to help you out with basic Microsoft Office tasks?
 
@MadMAxJr Lol, what stage are you on?
It's not really an idle game, it requires constant input to advance the game
 
I hate testing
 
@fredley Stupid drifters
 
2:35 PM
@SaintWacko Pfff, once you get combat to 6 they melt away
 
@fredley
 
@MadMAxJr The creativity will come in useful actually
 
@MadMAxJr I just got past that part this morning.
 
@fredley Oh geez. I didn't even realize I had the capability of destroying them at this point
 
@MadMAxJr But you invested way too much into CPU - you need memory to get the drones
@SaintWacko Yeah, you need to win battles to get Honor to level up your probes
 
2:40 PM
@fredley Yeah, I saw that. I figured I had to get an upgrade before my drones could actually damage the drifters
Also, is there a setting to turn the music off?
 
Once you have 5 each in speed, exp, repr and shield you really start the exploration meter moving
@SaintWacko Haha, yes, mute the tab
 
Ah well.
I was curious to explore how far negative cycles goes.
Looks like it's just the reset button.
 
@MadMAxJr Yeah, tbh you might have to press it. There's only 100 Trust available in the game and you spent enough on CPU that you can't get the neccessary memory to get to the drone stage.
 
I usually have processor-to-memory at a 1:2 ratio.
 
@Yuuki Same
@fredley If he can click really fast, he might be able to use the quantum computing to boost it that extra 7k
Highest I've been able to get it is +3k, though
 
2:48 PM
Yeah, noticed extra resets back down.
 
@SaintWacko Get Autohotkey and spam left click. That's what I did a couple of years ago with Cookie clicker
 
@Nzall Yeah, I did the same with Cookie Clicker
 
Had it configured to click every millisecond or so and then left it while I went to school
 
Oh, I didn't make mine quite that auto
I made it so if I held ctrl and clicked it would just autoclick
Another click would disable it
 
@Nzall Probably not a good idea with quantum computing.
If you don't click at the right time, you actually lose resources instead of gaining.
 
2:52 PM
Wow, not even a safety on the reset switch.
 
So with swarm self-improvement, I've let them go long enough that I have waaaay more wire than my factories can consume and so I've put my drones on full-time thinking duty.
 
@MadMAxJr Yikes
Also, which strategy have you guys found to be the best?
 
@SaintWacko Greedy seems to work best on average/over the long haul, IIRC.
 
Starting over... auto clipper 1...
 
@Yuuki That's what I've found, too
 
2:55 PM
I've had my factories running without any drone support for the past 5 minutes and they haven't made a dent in my wire supplies.
Like not even a visible decrease.
