Q: Why my dota 2 always update after switch OS?

Muhammad Dyas YaskurI have 2 OS on my laptop, windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04. I use 1 steam library folder for that both OS. But my questions is why my dota 2 always update after switch OS? The update size is always same. when I switch from windows to ubuntu update size is about 460MB and when I switch from ubuntu to w...

Q: Are there any special interactions between specific heroes in All Heroes mode of Retribution?

senpaiJust curious if there's any specific combinations of heroes that would lead to unique voice lines/banter between them. Love the lore in the game, would like to see if more exists outside of the regular story mode.

 
does wordpress just have a rule that says every folder must have an index.php file
even if that file's entire contents are <?php
I'm v tempted to develop this from scratch on like, django, instead of trying to get this up
I DID IT
WAIT NO
We did it!
EZ
it turns out the folder needs to be inside /wp-content/themes
 
@Unionhawk Yeah themes being in wp-content always confused me.
@Unionhawk Silence is golden my dude
Can't count on people setting up sensible apache configs
They are using wordpress after all.
 
@RedRiderX does php vomit into the log without it
 
@Unionhawk It's to prevent the folder indexing that apache does by default
Because security by obscurity feels good.
 
@RedRiderX Yeah it would help if I didn't just have it generically inside Documents/GitHub
 
12:53 AM
Yeah wordpress sites are really hard to get into a git repo
If you're looking for something industrial strength to make wordpress more palatable, I'd recommend the tools/frameworks at roots.io
It helps you achieve a more modern workflow
 
there we go, repository rebound to that folder instead
 
But of course when you need to write some custom plugins that'll present a new repo organization challenge.
And of course you might start making some wp-config tweaks that should really be commited
But that means you need to expunge the sensitive info in the file...
(I've had trouble with this before)
Just make sure you don't upload your .git folder and you'll be fine!
 
1:12 AM
Hmm... it has also occurred to me that I have no idea how to use github, and might need to have a fork to do the thing
god dammit
 
1:25 AM
There we go
LEARNING
yeah there's a large handful of things you can't do with a git gui
like git commit --amend --reset-author
 
1:47 AM
jesus christ I never want to do that again
FIXED
NO EVIDENCE OF ME REVERTING A REVERT BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO DO THIS
 
You successfully rewrote history?
 
2:04 AM
yes
also... yeah we primarily just need to get this up and hosted I think
lol\
these changes are very much not theme changes
which is all the repo is
 
2:20 AM
I'm experiencing so many flashbacks right now.

@Unionhawk nice

Q: What are the best elemental combos against all 3 factions with 100% status weapons?

senpaiLooking to see what are the best weapon elemental combinations when using a 100% status weapon, especially vs the 3 major factions (grineer/corpus/infested), and the best elemental status vs all (or void enemies). What are the most efficient elemental combos against all factions?

 
@Ave the revolution will be communicated via wordpress because I'm too lazy to do this from scratch
 
Ave
It is a very nice theme though.
 
It's mostly seattle's
as you can see
 
Ave
2:32 AM
yes
Is this running locally
on a windows machine
 
yep
 
Ave
oh dear
 
I'm trying to get a sample post from our newsletter but I can't copy the text from the PDF
it's producing an eldritch abomination when I copy
 
Ave
@Unionhawk dm me the pdf and I'll do my best
also if you want a proper testing environment I can lend you a couple linux machines
 
It's fine I found a raw text
 
Ave
2:35 AM
neat
 
it might be slightly off the final version but eh
@Ave this is good enough for now, xampp isn't awful to work with
as long as the path apache wants to point to exists
 
Ave
Okay. The offer still stands though.
 
I really just need to contact the people who have done this prior to now to get up on issue #8, Select host
because honestly once Seattle changes to Metro Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky we're done
for now
 
Ave
tries to press ctrl-1
presses ctrl-q instead, app quits

Q: How much can you bring from Skyrim SE to Skyrim VR?

CDoveI read an article the other day that suggested Skyrim VR is now moddable by PC users via mod managers. The current limitations are as one would expect: No SKSE yet; the devs have made it clear that this requires a lot of work involving the new addresses under the hood, so SKSE-required mods ar...

 
good now unban me cowardssssssssssss

12:44 PM
Or at least get back to me on appeal please
 
Uuuuugh today
Having one person being capable of accessing a system is super great! Especially when there's a deadline for monday and that person is in america and non of this has ever been tested
And we don't really have a super accurate test system because it's all google cloud stuff and our local test system (by which I mean my local test system as the only dev on these 3 projects) is just regular kubernetes running on a single vm
I've waited basically all day (it's now nearly 3pm) to get a response from the person in america so I could diagnose the problem.
 
this is what you get for being in a stupid time zone
 
HE LIVES HERE HE IS ON HOLIDAY
Best things? I had send him an email (yay emailing boss uugh) with asking permission to make a work around, or if I couldn't do that at least give me the logs. He responded with an email of "Here are the logs", which 1) doesn't answer the majority of the email, and 2) THOSE WERE ONLY HALF THE LOGS
Fortunately I had already written another way to get those logs and was just publishing (as agreed with $otherboss) so I got the other half of the logs myself.

rahulAs i am playing on ps4, there is an option in fortnite settings aim-assist will it make a major impact if i make it off? Please give suggestion to aim proper. What can be the best fortnite settings for the ps4 controller?

 
1:45 PM
This is pretty neat fashionbeans.com/content/…
 
@GnomeSlice Polygon also gave it a 10.
 
@Fluttershy wow
 
@GnomeSlice "If you like the new Tomb Raider, Dark Souls, or just unusual, creative games, I think you'll like this."
Says the reviewer.
And I like all of those things, so... RIP my wallet, I guess.
 
@fredley WHY
WHY
 
@StrixVaria Because @fredley likes misery. That's also the reason he voted for Brexit.
inb4 moved to TIF
 
@Arperum I'll move your face to TIF
 
1 face moved to android enthusiasts
 
1 bladerunner moved to android enthusiasts
 
2:16 PM
@GnomeSlice aah, another application of Betteridge's Law, I see
 
Ah, moving dozens of spam messages into Android Enthusiasts, those were the days
 
@fredley That was so hilarious
 
@Unionhawk I no longer have any contacts at Jagex, but I am curious how you got banned from runescape
 
@ToxicFrog my account was compromised by botters in september of 2017
lol
 
2:23 PM
@Unionhawk ouch
 
Yep
Hadn't logged in in years, moved the account to current email, tried to log in to the client aaaaand, locked. Expanded the bans/mutes panel to see a permanent Macroing Major
 
I should take a look at mine
It's been so long
 
Of course the current email detail is irrelevant because I would never engage in ban evasion
 
Because secretly you are Unikitty.
 
@Maximillian DO NOT EVEN RISK SUMMONING THIS ARCANE HORROR
 
2:36 PM
That was a very strange period of time in this chat.
 
What's a Unikitty?
 
@ToxicFrog NO
 
@Wipqozn :(
 
A user that queried the database for everything you ever said or did on Stack and brought up that information.
 
2:36 PM
It was a Whole Thing
Fun times were had by all
For values of all meaning nobody, at all
I forget what we eventually got them on initially, but then it was a saga of ban evasion sentence extensions
 
@StrixVaria It took me since posting this message to finally remember the word "eldritch" which is what I wanted to use instead of "arcane" but I had to settle.
 
@Maximillian Ah, so essentially a redditor
Because that's pretty much par for the course on Reddit, trying to find inconsistencies with older messages
 
THAT TIME WAS BAD.
 
As all the veterans come out of the woodwork here to show off their purple heart badges from the Unikitty wars.
It was a strange time to have someone popping up and talking about in depth analysis of everything you've said because a certain word came up so many times.

Q: What sources of damage are doubled in uprising?

Crafter0800Now that the uprising gamemode is back, I noticed something. Even heros that can't deal headshot damage still deal critical damage to the large bombs that drop to blow up the payload (for example bastion turret form). However, how does this apply to ultimates such as high noon, mei's and other n...

 
2:43 PM
@Maximillian Oh man, I forgot about that
 
The key problem is the user didn't understand when to stop and didn't really stop when directly asked to stop.
So they sort of built upon and expanded upon their... unique behavior.
I recall they revisited once since then to comment how we were all mean. But since then, quiet and peace returned to Arqadia.
 
I mean, they're banned right?
 
No, the term expired like a year ago or something
 
@Unionhawk I doubt they're going to come back
 
They have presence in other stacks
 
2:51 PM
ye
 
But I like to pretend they have a little candle shrine to Unionhawk's avatar.
Because they liked hanging on 'Uni' anything
 
It was really weird
 
It was really stalker behavior.
 
Yep
 
Who are yall talking about?
 
2:58 PM
I'm gonna cart this issue back into the vault.
 
@TheMattbat999 the singular feline
 
@Nzall Unikitty? That stupid cartoon?
 
@TheMattbat999 They were a user here who exhibited stalker behaviour, like digging up old posts and psychoanalysing users, with the focus on psycho
 
I forgot that was a whole show now
 
@Nzall ohhhh.... creepy.
@Unionhawk I almost did...
 
3:19 PM
I didn't realize that Unikitty is a character in Lego Movie while the user was in this room. Only like 2 years later did I finally see Lego Movie and was blindsided by that character's existence.
 
@StrixVaria This happened to me too
Literally doggo_vietnam_flashbacks.gif
 
pretty much
 
Thanks, unikitty, for ruining that movie
 
@StrixVaria I still haven't seen this
 
@SaintWacko It was a good movie, just go in bracing yourself for Unikitty flashbacks.
 
3:21 PM
All you younguns reminiscing about Unikitty
I remember the time of Retrosaur
 
He still pops up every now and again
 
Always with a different name
Anyone you meet... could be Retrosaur
 
Ah yes, farmer of questions.
 
Not for the last year or so though
 
What was their deal?
 
3:23 PM
New game came out, better ask for an explanation of the ending.
 
@SaintWacko I had custom css for him in chat for a while
 
@fredley Nice
Just every once in a while we get someone new in here who's just awful
 
He got a bit mad that I'd always address him as Retrosaur, alerting everyone to his identity every time he came back
 
Eventually they get banned, and then banned again until they finally go away for good
 
He did like to change names and pretend he was new in here, several times.
 
3:23 PM
@fredley I, for one, appreciated that
 
@SaintWacko I think everyone did except for Retro himself
Jun 7 '13 at 15:51, by fredley
One Retrosaur is two retrosaurs too many
 
I'm sorry, we're calling you by your UUID, not your Name field.
 
@Maximillian This was like the least bothersome thing about that user.
But I'm going to go eat lunch rather than dig up those memories.
 
Yes this is game chat not therapy.
 
user15026
Yeah I think I am good with letting that just be a thing that happenes
 
3:30 PM
@SaintWacko I'm still sad
Haven't even booted up anew game yet I'm so disheartened. Probably tomorrow night or saturday.
 
That was an entertaining conversation to catch up on in the transcript... Aaaah, those were the days.

Q: Does Genn Greymane's Cost Reduction Apply To Different Hero Powers?

Allball103Witchwood's release today will introduce a new card, Genn Greymane. This card reduces the cost of your hero power to 1 for the entire game. If your hero power is upgraded or changes, say with a Justicar Trueheart or through a Death Night, will this new hero power still cost 1 mana, or go back to ...

3:39 PM
@Frank so pro much
 
@ToxicFrog not familiar with that principle, but possibly?
@SaintWacko retrosaur was just a bored memester
 
@GnomeSlice it says that a question in a headline means the article can be summarized as replying “no”
 
@Unionhawk While I'm a huge fan of dipping fries in a) ketchup, 2) ice cream, and c) mayonnaise, this is just awful.
 
@Fluttershy "ok, mayo plus ketchup not bad so far... Eggs no. Sugar NO. Freeze STOP IT. It's frozen custard I'M CALLING THE POLICE"
 
@GnomeSlice "any question asked in a headline can be answered with 'no'"
 
3:49 PM
@GodEmperorDune Oh good, thank you for posting this here so I can star it
 
@Unionhawk What the actual fuck
No
Just No
Go home
 
Green science automated!
 
Aw, cute little factory's first steps
 
Look at those cute little yellow belts, aaaaaw
btw looks like you need more iron
 
3:51 PM
Stop making me want to play Factorio!
I'm playing PoE right now!
 
You know they added artillery trains to factorio?
They're fucking awesome
 
@Jutschge Man, you weren't kidding about Barrage. That is so much better!
 
@SaintWacko That's also awesome!
 
@Arperum I did Lord's Labyrinth the other night
 
@fredley Yea, I just doubled the smelting area
@SaintWacko Nice! where in the storyline are you?
 
3:53 PM
I'm currently trying to do that fancy sushi-belt blue circuit factory from reddit a couple of days ago
Uses counters to sushi accurately
 
I'm an absolute beginner.
And going at it semi-blind.
 
@Unionhawk the ending with him drizzling ketchup all over it needed a cw
i was eating at the time
now i am no longer capable of eating
 
@Arperum Protip: your bus is never wide enough
I like big bus and I cannot lie
 
I remember one series I watched did a main bus of literally everything
 
@fredley As in: needing multiple belts per resource?
 
3:55 PM
@Arperum Oh yes. To avoid future pain, at least for a while, I'd factor in at least 8 belts each for iron and copper, and plenty of space for everything else
Only build down on one side of your bus, so you can build the bus up the other way if you need to
Also press alt, you monster
 
@Unionhawk This is the worst. That person is forever banned from Belgium.
 
do you like
have the authority to do that
 
@fredley Yes.
 
Yes
 
@quartata Yes, for crimes this severe against fries, I absolutely have that power.
 
3:56 PM
@fredley Warframe has been sucking up so much of my time that I haven’t kept up with patch notes, this sounds great
 
@fredley That's a lot.
 
@GodEmperorDune The shells have radars in so reveal terrain as they fly
 
@Arperum glad to see belgium's civil rights paying off
 
You can build a remote to nuke things from orbit from the map view
 
Hnnnnng
 
3:58 PM
I'll post some pics when I get home
 
@fredley Whoa, that's cool
 
The range is massive too, and infinitely upgradeable
Like, way more than radars themselves
Shells are obviously crazy expensive, but once you've got production reasonably high you can reveal vast swathes of map by bombing the shit out of it
 
@fredley wait, is this an actually useful artillery mod, or something in the core game now?
 
@ToxicFrog core
 
wtfwtfwtfwtf
time to play Factorio again I think
 
4:03 PM
RIP everyone's time
 
The lack of combat automation was one of my main gripes about it
In a game that's all about automating away everything it makes no sense that you have to manually go out and clear nests rather than just having a battery of artillery linked into your radar stations and a fire control grid a la Total Annihilation
 
Also in the game now (if you haven't played for a while) nuclear power (and rockets, and fuel), splitter filters, buffer logistic chests
 
I knew about nuclear power but haven't done anything with it
I think the last time I played was just after they added the rocket
And I was so stoked for orbital construction next and then they cut it :(
 
orbital construction?
 
space stations?
 
4:05 PM
@fredley they talked a bunch on the blog about plans to add an orbital layer accessible after launching the rocket
 
@fredley I mean I was already starting it again because of artillery and other things
 
@ToxicFrog oooh
 
Build factories in space, use the rocket to send resources into space and eventually develop technologies to bring resources from space back down to surface
 
Still a plan, but not before coming out of early access
 
More plot related to building up orbital infrastructure
@KevinvanderVelden oh, it is? Last I heard they'd dropped the idea entirely, but that was a while ago
 
4:06 PM
@ToxicFrog Yeah, making Space Science modules have to be created in space would have been cool
 
@fredley i stopped shortly after nuclear power was released after understanding that automating nuclear power is a huge PITA
 
In my current game, I've launched ~1500 rockets so far
 
Did I tell you guys what my cat did the other night?
 
@GodEmperorDune It's not too bad actually, once you have Kovarex
 
kovarex?
 
4:07 PM
Nuclear recycling
(basically turn spare boring-uranium into more exciting-uranium)
 
@GodEmperorDune Hopefully that's fixed now?
 
@KevinvanderVelden You need a lot of exciting uranium to bootstrap it, but once you've got a few up it's easy to add more
You can't really do nuclear with out some circuitry though
 
40, at an average of 1 every ~150 cycles
 
And Solar is easier on the UPS
 
Plus solar fields are fun and gigantic
I'm currently doing a railworld run
@Arp has joined a bit
 
4:11 PM
@KevinvanderVelden Me too. My solar surface area is ~equal to (rest of base)
 
(and yes I showed him the glory of the bus)
 
I have several large processing plants away from my main base though
 
@KevinvanderVelden What's that?
 
@SaintWacko Everything more spread out
 
@fredley Hm, that sounds cool
 
4:12 PM
For maximum I LIKE TRAINS
Trains still biggest threat to player
 
Just looked them up on the wiki and omg yes this is exactly what I wanted
 
They've only killed me once so far
 
It's basically TA's LRPCs + targeting facility in Factorio
 
I'm assuming you're not talking about the trains
 
@KevinvanderVelden Burn the witch
 
4:15 PM
Mostly because I don't have that many trains yet
Only 2
Next up will be liberating the giant oil field from the biters
With lasers and probably flamethrowers
 
@KevinvanderVelden the artillery
 
@KevinvanderVelden Protip: Traindabouts
 
A woman is sitting at her deceased husband’s funeral. A man leans in to her and asks, “Do you mind if I say a word?”. “No, go right ahead”, the woman replies. The man stands, clears his throat, says “Plethora”, and sits back down. “Thanks”, the woman says, “that means a lot”
 
@fredley they are already a thing
 
4:17 PM
@KevinvanderVelden good good
 
Also, the only hit for that word on google is this message:
Oct 6 '17 at 18:26, by fredley
@murgatroid99 I like your traindabouts
 
(if you haven't played TA, LRPCs -- long range plasma cannons -- are massive, expensive artillery pieces with a range of The Entire Map. The targeting facility lets all of your units, including turrets and artillery, automatically target and fire on any enemy you can detect on radar)
 
@Unionhawk hue
 
@ToxicFrog In factorio, artillery trains can target stuff you can't even see yet, up to their maximum inner range
You can also target any area in their external range manually
 
(this is great right up until your LRPCs run out of more interesting targets and start trying to shoot down the enemy scout planes flying over your bases)
 
4:18 PM
@KevinvanderVelden i get another hit from some twitch IRC log
 
@fredley you still need to have them on radar, though, yes?
 
@ToxicFrog Nope
 
Artillery best exploration mechanic
 
The trains will auto-target anything in inner range, even if it's on a black tile. You can manually target any location, including black tile, up to outer range
 
does it explore terrain when it fires
 
4:20 PM
@Unionhawk yes
 
why
 
@fredley that is cool but also offends my sense of versimilitude
 
Because each shell is constructed with a radar
 
...
I'll allow it
 
@Unionhawk in-universe explanation: the shells have telemetry on them. OOC explanation: so you can zoom in and see the shells hit.
 
4:21 PM
@Unionhawk The shell is basically an explosive radar
@ToxicFrog This
 
I'm not even mad that's amazing
 
tfw you explore a massive area with a new train, using hundreds of shells, fanning out over the map
 
some game dev was just like "you know what would be cool" and just added radar to the recipe to make it make sense
 
@Unionhawk iirc the radar was in the recipe and players said: 'you know what', and the devs were like 'ok'
 
lol
 
4:23 PM
It makes sense if the shells have some kind of terminal homing capability
Which they probably do, since they appear to have 100% accuracy
 
What's funnest though is when you move a train up to a new location, it destroys massive amounts of stuff around it, within its inner range. Shells have high damage on structures but low damage on biters, so every biter within a large radius starts moving towards the train's location
@ToxicFrog Yup, you can plonk a target on the map, and it will always be hit, shells never miss
 
Like lasers!
 
Indeed, and bullets
 
I am missing some things in my vanilla playthrough
Like the auto-deconstruct when mines run out
And the machines that can place blueprints for infinite expansion
And being able to squeeze through between buildings
That one I miss a lot
 
@KevinvanderVelden ugh yes
I may install a mod that makes you not move along conveyors because fuck that shit
 
4:28 PM
@GodEmperorDune ah okay. Then yes I guess, the answer is no, but there's a lot of interesting research behind it too
Human relationships are fascinating to me
 
4:46 PM
@fredley but but but, then you can't put @Arperum on a round-about when he's afk
 
@KevinvanderVelden Wait, you did that?
 
Yeah it didn't work well
