The Bridge

my girlfriend is trying to remember an old computer game, maybe you guys can help

It's mostly(?) a sidescrolling dungeon thing where you could like explore and jump around

theres a segment where you have to like kick away ladders and repel invaders during a siege

camera behind

the dungeon had like a dragon

and you had a horse you rode around on

ToxicFrog

Era? Platform?

12:09 AM

top down in those segments

euh she thinks late 90s early 2000s for "computer"

ToxicFrog

So probably DOS or win9x

More likely the latter

Nelke & The Legendary Alchemists - Game Overview

@Memor-X Not sure if you've seen that one before. This is the first I've heard of it.

1:32 AM

Damewacko has a nice telescope that I set up during the eclipse

1:57 AM

@Frank yeh i know of it

Nov 7 '18 at 22:02, by Memor-X

just looking at the screenshots for Nelke & The Legendary Alchemists it seems like a mashup of main characters as i spot Meruru, Klien, Viorate, Ayesha, Vayne and Sophie (though i think the third girl in that last one is also an Alchemist)

Nov 7 '18 at 22:02, by Memor-X

unless there's some weird dimmily dobbily dimensionally stuff going on this is probably going to show that all the Atelier and Mana Khemia games are in the same world in which i really hope Iris gets a mension

looking at that trailer they have Iris Fortner but no Iris Blanchimont (though they have Viese Blanchimont and Felt so maybe she might still get a mention?)

but given the amount of time between Atelier Iris 1 and 2 and that Klien and Lita are with Viese and Felt, i'm going to have to assume dimmily dobbily dimensionally stuff to bring them all together

Q: Sync Little Big Planet 3 between multiple PS4 systems?

0

If I start playing LBP3 on one PS4 with my PSN user, then I install the game onto another PS4 with the same PSN user, will my LBP3 progress, items, etc automatically transfer? Does the LBP3 servers remember what I've collected or would I need to manually copy/transfer the save file from the first...

I just found a codebase using K&R style braces... for SCSS

2:21 AM

@Memor-X Likely. I find the town development aspect interesting.

They tried that with Meruru, and I thought it worked well.

@Frank yeh i enjoyed the development thing in Meruru, except from the looks of it here you got a bit more freedom with it

@Memor-X Which is good. I always enjoy seeing what we can do with such things.

would be interesting to see how they make each Atelier useful outside of being event locations

and i would like to know more about what they said about "Assign a Shopkeeper" because this makes me think of Kamidori Alchemy Meister where Wilfred is an Alchemist but he also has a store front where you put items out for sale and you also assign party members to work out the front

something similar to Recettear except that the store front was more passive compared to the workshop

anyways, already pre-ordered it. i had to double check i did when Atelier Lulu turned up because i got confused which was which

I'm just about done Shallie.

And then it's on to the PS4 versions, I think.

@Frank that would be about right. unless you got them on Steam

2:30 AM

@Memor-X Nope. Atelier started on console for me, so that's where they stay.

i'm still getting these ones for my PS4

@Frank until the consoles die, Emulators not end up being good enough and you want to play them again lol

(about the only reason why i'd get them on Steam)

@Memor-X I have a backup PS3 for that exact reason.

But I am terrible at UI/UX and also a terrible spriter

If you want to check

The "Configurar" button is fluff for now

I still need to make better sprites, maybe do something random for the clouds, maybe even use gamemaker particle system to dynamically create them

But for now is this mess

Works, but it is ugly (ME_IRL)

@Nzall There has been no updates during this time. I uploaded it yesterday. Fun

Idle Breakout

Is there something like an Idle Idle game? Where the game buys upgrades automatically?

Like, it's an idler at the core with clicking at first and then unlocking things that click for you, but then there's an idler around it that clicks and build upgrades for you, and you just need to micromanage it

As in upgrades on how often it clicks and and how often it buys upgrades, etc

@Nzall I tink that antimatter idle has something like that

1:57 PM

@Moacir Hmm, I'm trying it right now, and it feels kinda weird to not have anything to do while you wait

Jutschge

@Nzall clicker heroes 2 has something like that

Although it's somewhat expensive for an idle game (no mtx tho)

@Jutschge ah, I might actually try that one once it goes on sale

Is it available on Mobile?

@Nzall not as of now and idk about any plans for mobile tbh

@SaintWacko Depressing part is it's due to healthcare :/

> We don't talk about this much, but for many years, Zach has been on expensive medication, which has fortunately been covered by his healthcare. It's a source of constant concern, as the plan has changed a few times and as the political environment has shifted.

No one should ever need to worry about "I hope I can still afford my medication if the government changes". Completely fucked"

3:41 PM

@Wipqozn Yeah, I knew there were issues with that :(

buuuut that's getting a bit too much into TIF territory, so I won't comment further on that part

Wow, the graphics will make it way more accessible

That's fantastic

> Even though this change was brought about by uncertainty and concern, now that we're on this path, we're determined to make an excellent go of it with underlying changes in accessibility and modding which redound to everybody, no matter which version they play.

The accessibility is the big thing. I reaaaaally hope they implement something like Dwarf therapist.

@Wipqozn Look at that noble with his gold furniture, I hate him already

@Wrigglenite Yeah what a jerk

I actually really like the art style.

> Now with graphics! (Optional ASCII mode available.)

I see a Steam Workshop icon on the side

Probably more tilesets and BGM?

@Wrigglenite Yup

> Steam Workshop integration for easier modding

Oh, modding

I assume that includes player-made creatures and things like that

@Wipqozn Yeah, that makes things way easier

3:49 PM

Prepare for a deluge of HNQ with weird titles when that game releases

Honestly, if he made it available early access I'd buy it right now

@Wrigglenite It's already pretty easy to mod. Everything about the game is in plain text config files

I fairly regularly modify those to make it so lava creatures can't come up through lava forges, and to neuter my cats

BTW, is there a Meta on whether we're going to review the new options for HNQ and how they apply to us?

@SaintWacko Yep, I remember it uses tags to define behaviour and whatnot

@SaintWacko hang on, you mean a super detailed game like DF doesn't have a dwarf whose job it is to snip the testicles of cats?

@Nzall The only new option available is for mods to remove a question from HNQ, as far as I know

3:51 PM

@Wrigglenite Mods can also reduce the maximum amount of HNQ questions at a time

@Nzall doubtful. meta has been relatively quiet as of late

As in, by default maximum 5 per site, but moderators can reduce that

user15026

@Nzall someone can make one if they feel a great need, but honestly we rarely have any issues with HNQ questions in my opinion

they should make a 20k+ review queue for questions going to HNQ

@Ash True. We don't really have as much problems with users coming to our site from HNQ and not knowing the rules, because we're not really different

3:53 PM

@Dragonrage That's what I was hoping for. Looks like not even mods are notified right now

@Nzall Shockingly, that's one of the few things you can't do

I've always been surprised that the butcher or something didn't have an option to do that

@Wrigglenite Yep, tags for behaviour and body parts and everything

It's pretty cool

Q: How to purchase a realm on the Switch

I am thinking about buying a realm, but I am wondering if it if possible to use the Nintendo eShop to get one. Is this possible to do via buying the coins, or is there something else that needs to be done?

nintendo-switch minecraft-realms minecraft-bedrock-edition nintendo-eshop

@Wrigglenite yeah, i hope there is a tool in the future for either 20k+ or mods to review things that are going to HNQ with the ability to say, no thats a bad question, no HNQ for you

@Dragonrage Even just a chance to pretty up the question before it hits HNQ would be nice

@SaintWacko I mean, I was joking about the testicle snipping, but it might be something a physician or something could do after a patch, or even with a mod

3:56 PM

@Wrigglenite I'd like the ability to stop the inevitable game id questions from going to HNQ. like 80% can be solved with a simple image search, and they promote people to ask those types of questions more frequently

And then when the physician goes into a rage, he switches from neutering cats to neutering dwarves

Or would that be a bit too much?

@Nzall For DF? lol

@SaintWacko Yeah, but also this room

i wonder how many game id questions we have on the site that are deleted

not sure if that can be grabbed from a query or not

@Dragonrage Probably. Where tag contains game identification and openstate equals closed or something like that

4:04 PM

@Dragonrage I'm pretty sure Juan, the mod who mass deleted all of them, left an answer or chat message somewhere documenting that.. Might be in a mod only spot though. I'll do some digging when I'm on my PC.

@Nzall very few closed game id questions are not deleted. our 10k+ users are very vigilant in deleting them

@Wipqozn maybe. i was thinking sede might expose that info

@Dragonrage Don't deleted questions stay in the database?

@Nzall they should. i dont think close state persists after deletion though. not sure. i would probably check for posts with tag game id and deleted state. i think that is in the sede options. i dont use it much though so im not sure

@InvaderSkoodge Oh fancy. I always wondered what department you worked on. DFP is good stuff.

Now whenever I have ad issues I can curse @InvaderSkoodge

@InvaderSkoodge Just curious. Do you use adblock?

@Wipqozn Having worked on a newspaper website, I guess you're quite familiar with that.

However I don't work on DFP.

@InvaderSkoodge Yuuuuuup.

@Moacir In my personal profile, yes; in my corporate profile, no.

@InvaderSkoodge Got it

I'm the DFP guy here too. Like that's not my job title, but all as stuff is assigned to me.

However since learning about how ads are chosen I've been much more willing to click on ads relevant to me in search results and stuff.

@Wipqozn It's not even called that anymore; how much of an expert can you be?

Hey, keeping that Undead Horde tab open for 2 weeks so I could eventually remember to check the launch price finally actually didn't pay off because $15 is more than I'm willing to pay for it.

I upgraded to a better ssd today.

5:22 PM

@Ave Better because of the brand or is that one that doesn't go on SATA?

@Moacir neither. It's samsung again, and it's SATA3 again.

It used to be 120GB, now it's 250GB. It used to be 650, now it's 860EVO.

so, on chrome i cant go to gaming.se as its blocked due to gaming, but i can on firefox if i first go to my arqade meta profile, then my main profile, then to the main site

The 650 120gb one was having some instabilities so I moved to a new one rapidly. Higher storage and a higher end model (650 was only released for a handful of countries and was really low end) helps a lot.

@InvaderSkoodge oh right. It'll always be DFP in my heart.

Have you ever had any interaction with the DFP API support team? I do know them.

@InvaderSkoodge No sir. I've never really had a need to reach out.

The docs for DFP are pretty tight.

@Dragonrage Your query only works for the older questions that don't have the tags normalized

Pretty much any recent question has tags in the Tags table

and I can't get my N-N join to work

select count(*) from PostsWithDeleted p, PostTags pt, Tags t
where p.PostTypeId = 1 and p.DeletionDate is not null
and p.Id = pt.PostId and t.Id = pt.TagId and t.TagName like '%##tag##%'

That lets you just list multiple tables? You don't have to do explicit joins?

I have no idea

and I have no idea how to write join queries either

especially N to N joins

6:01 PM

I think you just want a couple of inner joins here

6:13 PM

Well, I tried it and I can't get any results from even a very simplified query so I think I'm missing something here about these tables.

yeah same, probably with the exact same query lol

Yeah, I would just do an explicit join, but IIRC, PostTags is a little weird.

Mad Scientist

the tables with deleted posts have many columns blanked out, maybe that is an issue

@InvaderSkoodge that's cool. I think I would like a career in advertising somehow

Yeah, it looks like a lot of the deleted posts have an empty tags list

6:18 PM

that's odd because like, if you navigate to a given deleted post you should still see tags right?

select top 100 * from Posts where DeletionDate is not null order by CreationDate desc;
(0 row(s) returned)

I don't think you can even query the data explorer for deleted posts.

@MBraedley try from PostsWithDeleted

Yeah, that works

select top 100 * from PostsWithDeleted where DeletionDate is not null and PostTypeId = 1 order by CreationDate desc; does only questions which are all tagged

I think they're just having a separate optional paid version.

The existing version will still have updates and will still be free.

@Chippies They said the free version would stay up to date I think

The paid version on Steam/itch is going to have 32x32px tiles.

okay, well that's nice of them and I'm sure many people are going to buy it just because they can get it on steam

For the moment, Tarn and Zach will continue working first on the major villains update for Dwarf Fortress Classic (or, if you prefer, Slaves to Armok: God of Blood Chapter II: Dwarf Fortress Classic), and getting that stable, before they move on to graphics-related support for the Steam/itch.io premium version.

Yes! You will still be able to get Dwarf Fortress Classic for free, same as always! And it’ll still be updated alongside the new premium versions (just without the new art, music, and Steam features), forever.

@Chippies I prefer games on Steam but it's by no means required for me to get a game.

@InvaderSkoodge I am like you in this instance, but I also prefer not to get games that are being "epic store exclusive"

@InvaderSkoodge for me it's more like... I strongly prefer games on Steam and I will need some serious convincing to buy a game outside of steam, especially if it's also available on steam

if a game is free2play, I don't care what it's on

I just like the convenience of a single library, because I tend to forget about other storefronts and games I own on them

@Chippies you can add non steam products to steam to allow launching through steam.

@Dragonrage yeah, but I also like steam integration

6:29 PM

works for games from uplay/origin/bnet/etc

adding games as shortcuts through steam just seems like a hackjob

I wanted to get Satisfactory but I will not just because the Epic Store thinghy

Q: Is it possible to hide hud with command block?

Is it possible to hide hud with command block in minecraft?

minecraft minecraft-commands

its weird when you can open either uplay overlay or steam overlay when playing a game though

It's definitely amusing how the overlays try to accommodate one another.

Steam is SHIFT+TAB, Origin is SHIFT+F1, and uPlay is SHIFT+F2, I think.

Knowing Epic, if they get an overlay, they'll probably put it on SHIFT+TAB though.

"Look guys, we're just like Steam! Buy from us! Not from Steam! From us!"

@Yuuki shift + tab is annoying, shift is sprint in a lot of games, and tab is inventory, and there are a number of games that you can sprint while looking at your inventory

so instead of looking at your inventory and running, you are now looking at steam overlay

I looked at baba is you just enough to know it's an instant buy

@Wipqozn That looks amazing.

@InvaderSkoodge Yeah I wish I didn't have plans tonight

@Wipqozn It looks awesome for people who aren't me :)

Like I like what it is doing, I just feel like I'd want to throw the whole thing out the window

@Ash That's about 7.6 billion people so that seems like a good target audience to shoot for tbh

user15026

I thought so ;)

what is baba?

Baba Is You - release date trailer

you

2 hours ago, by Unionhawk

6:52 PM

@Unionhawk Yeah it's right in the title @Dragonrage

i guess ill look at that after i get home from work

Turns out that the postTags table doesn't have deleted posts

so, ike 7 or so hours from now

it's a puzzle game about changing the rules of the world

by rearranging words

(the first example in the trailer is "baba is you" and "rock is push" which can become "rock is you")

i see. i shall have to watch the video sometime. doesnt seem like my typical game

6:54 PM

or wall is stop -> wall is, making a wall in the level intangible

I wonder how many puzzles have that one little instance where you accidentally remove "you" from everywhere and cant move at all, leading to a reset by the end

@Moacir game is null -> game is uninstalled from your pc

sounds sort of like the little I know about Heart.Break()

@Dragonrage Happy is you -> Nothing changes because you were happy all along

@Unionhawk ALL YOUR BASE is BELONG TO US

@Yuuki h4xz

hempuli.itch.io/baba-is-you In case someone wants to test the first version (I'm pretty sure @Unionhawk had already linked this in the past)

7:15 PM

back when baba is you first was announced PPCG went nuts for it

i honestly put time into thinking about if its TC or not

user15026

TC?

now i get to dig up my old notes on that and test them out

@Ash Turing complete

like could you reasonably program in it

how flexible are the rules

user15026

Ah, okay.

hempuli said a lot of the game logic are actually implemented through rules

theyre just not visible

I.e. theyre in effect but they're not literal words on the board

so for example baba is you or flag is win may be implicit in a level and behind the scenes it's implemented the same?

Q: Goodbye and thank you, Jaydles!

7:18 PM

Yes

exactly

@Draknek @mtrc The rule system is consistent enough that the game actually literally generates the rule "Text Is Push" instead of it being hardcoded in

This is the tweet i was remembering

so i think the concept i had was that instructions would be encoded through a strip of varying terrain types

Today is Jay Hanlon’s (aka Jaydles) last day at Stack Overflow. Since I’ve been working with him for nearly 7 years now, I wanted to take a minute to wish him a public goodbye.
