00:00 - 16:0016:00 - 00:00

4:05 PM
@Dragonrage For quite a while I had to toggle the sulphur box on and off in order to maintain either blast or blaze at the proper level
@Frank Yeah, that was the one I was stuck on -.-
Didn't notice I could slide it slightly farther to the left
 
I should get back into that game
 
4:17 PM
i must be doing something wrong. ive upgraded earth and water with pure earth and pure water, but i still dont have enough of the base elements :(
 
@Dragonrage Enough for what?
Alkahest?
 
yeah
or to use to upgrade me other elements
 
I'd often have to pause the compressor, composter, snow, and... whatever the one below that is in order to get the elements to grow
 
@SaintWacko Oh yeah I went through this phase
tracking down what consumes an element is really annoying
 
i need 1e5 earth to upgrade my water rift, but i only have 1e4 atm
 
4:19 PM
@fredley That's what the network of lines is for
Just look for a thick line coming out of the elemental machine and see where it goes
 
@SaintWacko OIC
But the lines are undirected
 
@fredley Hm?
 
@SaintWacko You can, but later on, you need it close to max.
 
They don't point in a direction
 
So it doesn't help much.
 
4:21 PM
which game are you all talking about?
 
Crazy complex alkahestry incremental
 
@fredley the dots move in the direction the resources are traveling
 
@Dragonrage I don't see dots
@MadScientist Play the first two first
 
@SaintWacko wtfffff I don't see those
That would make this game so easy
 
4:23 PM
But also you can tell by color
@fredley When did you last refresh?
The dots just showed up yesterday
 
The day I first posted it
 
But even without the dots, you see a big thick green line coming from the earth elemental orb, you can be pretty sure there's a lot of earth going somewhere
 
You whippersnappers, you. Didn't need no danged direction indicators to figger it out.
 
@fredley Oh man, you are missing out on so much pretty
@Frank Right?
 
om ghthis is so great
 
4:24 PM
@fredley Also, a thing was added today that indicates when a recipe in a machine is turned off
 
@SaintWacko that was actually added before the dots

Q: In werewolv.es, can a Puppet Master see and/or control items on Puppets?

xiiBasically, how do items and puppets interact with each other: Does the Puppet Master receive items given to puppets? Can the Puppet Master use items held by puppets during the night? If a Puppet is holding an item and that item is stolen during the night, will the Puppet Master receive a notifi...

 
it glows cyan
 
@Dragonrage No, not that
 
@SaintWacko omgggggg
 
4:25 PM
 
Heck, it took me about a whole day to realize things glowing pink meant I had an upgrade available.
 
That little icon at the bottom
 
o i c
 
Cyan means the recipe is on but hasn't ever produced anything
 
what is this meltdown thingy that just unlocked?
 
4:26 PM
@Dragonrage I'm not entirely certain
 
it doesnt look useful
 
It means don't run out of coolant.
Or you'll lose everything that uses it.
 
Huh, this is a weird translation of "Privet Drive". I think it's a mistranslation.
 
It's a good idea to pause Gale and Cryospires at low amounts, as the more you get, the more coolant you need to sustain them.
 
@Frank Right, but there's a new recipe that does nothing but drain cryospire/gale/vortex
 
4:28 PM
it just consumes gale and doesnt produce anything?
 
Right
Oh
 
@SaintWacko It hurries the death process.
 
@Frank Yeah I'm blocked on gale
 
You're going to run out eventually, so it just makes it happen faster.
 
Maybe it's a way to decrease your amount of cryospire faster so you don't have to maintain it
 
4:29 PM
Happened to me a lot after alkahest explosions.
 
And ash
 
Couldn't generate enough coolant to sustain them.
 
I had to look it up and I think it's a problem of homophones.
 
This week has officially gone by super fast
 
user15026
I beg to differ :P
 
4:31 PM
Mine's gone by super fast too
Memorial day Monday, memorial service Tuesday
 
@Ash some of us didn't stay up all night :P
 
What generates ash?
@ash pls
 
@fredley Their momma
 
I'm fully prepared to lose the workday hustle this week.
 
@fredley cool canadian parents
 
4:32 PM
Houston sucks for walking.
 
@fredley Blaze
 
@fredley But actually the blaze decay process in the furnace
 
Hmmm, I'm blocked on blaze
Need more ash for a lot of things
 
@fredley yeah but they're only one person
 
@fredley Turn off the recipe that converts ash to coal
 
4:32 PM
Ash is only used for compacting and coal reprocessing, I think.
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune I didn't stay up all night! Just til 5:15 am and then I slept til 12:00pm yesterday.
 
@Frank And clay
 
@SaintWacko Right, missed that one.
 
Steps really add up when you can just walk 1000 steps to a corner store, another 1500 to pick up some household goods, walk 2500 back home, go down the block 2000 to grab lunch...
 
@Yuuki See, I used to get a fair number of steps when I worked downtown
 
4:33 PM
@Yuuki 5,6,7,8!
 
Walk to get lunch, walk a few times during the day
 
I just found the first alkahistorian game thanks to @InvaderSkoodge 's question. It's really interesting.
 
@RoijanEskor Welcome, we've been playing it here for a few days
How far have you got?
 
Ummm.... I'm like 20 minutes in maybe.
 
@fredley I got to half of part two on a tab here while I did some other work. When I left and decided to check offline progress I remembered I was on a private tab, so RIP
 
4:40 PM
That brings up a good question. Is progress saved via cookies, or something else?
 
gosh darn it, I'm going to buy Mordhau. I just know it.
There's far to many games.

Q: How should I use the scoreboard to display a number of lives?

5p1k3I'm making a multiplayer map in Bedrock Edition. It's a PvP map with many kits and arenas, and I want to use a scoring system based on survival, i.e, last player with lives remaining wins. I'd like the display to only be visible during combat, of course. How can I do this? I suppose it could be d...

 
I blame @Sterno.
 
@Wipqozn, @TimStone is hitman 2 worth buying? i think its 50% off atm on steam
 
Absolutely
 
4:51 PM
I don't know why my magma isn't increasing.
Oh I figured it out.
This game has so many moving pieces.
 
@Dragonrage DEfinitly
 
@InvaderSkoodge Right? It's amazing
 
Too bad the ending is just...blah.
 
@Frank Yeah :(
 
I was hoping for some more complexity once you accomplish the end goal. Which isn't even described anywhere.
 
4:59 PM
I can't tell if some menus are actually glowing blue sometimes or if it's an optical illusion from this terrible UI.
 
@Frank The end condition was just the PureGolem stuff, right?
 
All four of the end golems, I think.
 
Yeah, that was pretty anticlimactic
 
I think I'm in a place right now where I have to just wait for things to "fill up".
 
Yay, a union query three layers deep in Access is throwing crazy union errors inconsistently.
And only when it's run this deep; run it itself, or a query that uses it, and it's fine.
 
5:12 PM
@Frank Could it be memory problems?
 
@Moacir Knowing Access, maybe.
 
@Frank I'm accidentally looking at this again, and yeah, the network profile associated with this user is somehow intermixed with the other user I don't understand
like the network user just has "answered this thing", and you go there and that action is marked as the other one
something weird happened with, something?
like a merge and a split that went wrong or something
but that doesn't make any sense
 
@Unionhawk Well, that's got some network ban going on, and some manual unsuspensions.
 
user15026
Honestly, I'd not worry about it - this very much feels like things that mods/CMs are likely aware of/tackling.
 
user15026
If anything, note it to them, positing here about it isn't really helpful, I don't think
 
5:17 PM
i thought this was the only room that mods visited
 
user15026
Oh of course ;)
 
it is possible that I am too curious for my own good lol
likely even
 
user15026
I would say that is very likely. Perhaps you should run for mod ;)
 
yeah do it @uni
save us from @Wipqozn
 
I don't know that I'd do that
we're basically the same person
 
5:22 PM
Apparently I have -0 water golems.
 
user15026
Oh, you're still doomed because it's still gonna be the year of @Wipqozn, just maybe you'll have a fighting chance against his tyranny
 
This game has a few rounding issues :P
 
user15026
@InvaderSkoodge better than -1 I suppose :P
 
My golem merger refuses to make any sand for some reason.
 
if all else fails, @uni is wrong and @Wipqozn is to blame
 
user15026
5:27 PM
In general, or only for @uni being wrong?
 
both
also lol, OSRS added an update where you can get a permanently enchanted lyre offering unlimited free teleports to an area that's kind of annoying to get to, at the cost of 1000 bass, manta rays, and sea turtles (or less with some achievement diaries done)
now raw manta rays are like, 15k (up from around 1k)
 
@Ash in general. pretty sure its bridge law. like @Wipqozn's law of gravitation
 
everyone is trying to get this at the same time
 
user15026
@MBraedley ooooh that is very coool
 
Of course it requires 42 alkahest.
"Massive Slowdown" confuses me.
 
@InvaderSkoodge its basically hey slow down so i can figure out whats happening easier. otherwise not used
 
Oh ok.
Ok I think I will pick this up tomorrow.
 
7:04 PM
@MBraedley Right?!
 
I am so ordering that
 
Ave
from 2013
but still an amazing piece of art
 
@Unionhawk Why?
Oh
Just saw the previous message

Q: Will the "Knuckles" Index controllers be compatible with my HTC VIVE?

Q: When does handing out upvotes like candy become abuse?

GuitarHeroAndDancer9001I can see why you would need 15 rep to upvote, and more to downvote. I do know that handing out upvotes to everything from a particular user, no matter how much you like them or how good a particular question or answer from them was, is considered an abuse of the system and will get the votes del...

Q: How do I get into Sovngarde easily?

Tyler KlaesingI need help on how to get into Sovngarde easily without dying or having to restart.

 
Ave
god gargron is so savage lol
I'm definitely stealing "ok boomer"
 
@Unionhawk Which mods Vazkii made again? Botania and that tech-magic one?
 
@Moacir botania, quark, psi, a bunch
 
Oh, I answered a question about Quark once
 
@Unionhawk BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CATS!
 
8:44 PM
So, if anyone is like me and got twitter blocked, use screenshot.guru
There is also screen.guru that has its code on github
 
Thanks YouTube
The Public Broadcast Service is indeed a public broadcast service
 
user15026
9:10 PM
shocked face
 
Ave
9:26 PM
apparently just like you can add sticker packs to telegrsm you can add your own language packs to telegram
(or use those made by others, such as:)
also now I have no idea how to go back, and I'm confused as to what "nuzzle" option means when I go on someone's profile dropdown
 
@Ave DM?
 
Ave
ah, likely
 
@Ave gross? What is that lol
 
user15026
That would be my supremely awkward guess as well

Q: How can I check for a specific amount of items in a player's inventory?

theasianjasperI'm making an adventure map and I was wondering if there was a command block command that can check for 8 nautilus shells in a players inventory.

Q: Observer block never working in minecraft

GamerMThe observer block was introduced a while back, and I was never able to make it work. Now, I saw someone do a tutorial on how to observer blocks, and for me the observer would never send block updates with redstone pulses. Am I really not doing this right? I know the block only sends a one second...

Wtf
Lol
Not gonna click through whatever that button does at the link

Q: Who designed/created DDR?

Jordan MagnusonI've only ever seen DDR credited to "Konami." Does anyone know which invdividuals were responsible for designing/directing the game?

 
@HalfEmpty You played any Outer Wilds yet?
 
10:33 PM
What's the resource usage on this alkahistorian thing? I find with most incrementals I hit a point where they're using too much ram and it's just not worth having it open anymore
 
10:45 PM
@Ronan not yet... Probably not tonight. My girlfriend picked me up and we're making dinner and spending the evening together
😫
Any questions about it yet? I guess it doesn't really matter if I make the tag, lol
Huh. I already asked some like six years ago
We may have to delete those. The alpha version of don't believe is even available any more. Last time I downloaded it it had big walls put in so you couldn't go to some planets
 
user15026
aaaaaaaargh I don't understand why this link colour isn't changing
 
user15026
(I don't know a lot about HTML, I just wanna change the link colour of a link because the stock blue tends to blend into the background)
 
11:11 PM
@Ash Links have a bunch of pseudo-classes which can have their own styles, the common ones are :hover :visited :focused and :current
Probably because you've already visited the link it's using a that class
 
@Ronan Yeah it's likely :visited causing the conflict
 
@HalfEmpty Well now you've got something to look forward to!
 
user15026
Oooh thanks
 
user15026
(I did find the GUI option for it in blogger so I am okay, but this helps)
 
11:14 PM
Default styling is the bane of my existence, mainly the default button styling
 
Yeah welcome to CSS hell @Ash

Not to perpetuate CSS hate though
 
It's the best thing we have for the job but that doesn't make me hate it less
 
user15026
Yeah, I don't love it
 
Sure, but then people put js resize listeners on everything because they can't be bothered to learn it
 
user15026
11:24 PM
Is there a way to say "show me this as if I didn't visit the link"

A: See :hover state in Chrome Developer Tools

Travis NorthcuttNow you can see both the psuedo-class rules and force them on elements. To see the rules like :hover in the Styles pane click the small :hov text in the top right. To force an element into :hover state, right click it. Additional tips on the elements panel in Chrome Developer Tools Shortc...

I think you can do that to unset the state too
 
@Ash ^ i think that's what you're looking for
oh wait @Ronan beat me too it
 
user15026
Sweet.
 
user15026
Okay, I think I fixed this so it looks reasonably not-ugly.

Q: io.netty.channel.AbstractChannel$AnnotatedConnectException - Can't join personal Minecraft server... sometimes?

Michael litvinovI've seen other people have related issues, but in general, none quite like mine. I'm running a Minecraft Java server using spigot 1.14.1. Sometimes, when trying to connect, I get an error like the one in the title: io.netty.channel.AbstractChannel$AnnotatedConnectException: Connection timed out...

 
user15026
11:30 PM
Anyone got a free moment to peek at it for me?
 
@Ash i have a moment
 
user15026
(I just wanna make sure the website in the header is readable (as that's important) and the calendar at the side doesn't stick out weird or look too garbage-y)
 
I have notes :P
But no it looks perfectly readable
 
user15026
Readability is my first necessity. :)
 
user15026
11:35 PM
Notes beyond that?
 
user15026
(I am proud of myself for fighting with the calendar, it was being intransigent)
 
I'd probably either make the background lighter or put the black text at the top inside the white background
 
user15026
nods I was thinking about that too
 
And the CTA on the email link needs to be darker
 
not sure if this is important, while the header text and website is readable, when i scroll down one notch on my mouse wheel the website is a bit hard to read
 
user15026
11:37 PM
like resizing?
 
Actually all uses of that light grey should be darker for contrast reasons
 
user15026
Which light grey?
 
> RECEIVE AN EMAIL WHENEVER THERE IS A NEW ENTRY ON THIS SITE!
> COMMUNITY CALENDAR
> BLOG ARCHIVE
 
user15026
aw, ffff I don't know which thing that is
 
user15026
There, try now?
 
11:40 PM
It didn't need to be black, but yeah that's readable
 
user15026
I might lighten it slightly
 
user15026
Any other notes?
 
Last thing I'd mention is that your "RECEIVE AN EMAIL WHENEVER THERE IS A NEW ENTRY ON THIS SITE!" is a pretty wordy CTA, and the submit button should be something context aware, like "Subscribe" or "Sign up"
 
@Ash more that the blue doesn't go well when it went over that cloud, a minor thing since it's only evident when the link is over that dark area. a solution i would do is mimic that rounded box the body uses
 
user15026
I have no idea if I can change that! Let's find out!

user15026
@Memor-X oh yeah, I see it
 
user15026
I wonder if I can add a background to that gadget or not
 
user15026
boo, it doesn't let me do background
 
user15026
let me poke the colour then
 
i'm not familiar with blogspot's system so i don't know how much control you have with the CSS
the theme i got for my Wordpress Install (at least before it upgraded) i could script my own CSS and it would apply it. in which the CSS i posted, in the Wordpress theme i would use, i would add it to .tabs-outer{}
 
user15026
11:53 PM
For that thingie it's just a textbox I think
 
user15026
I've got the option to make it a HTML/javascript thingie but I'd have NO idea how to make it nice
 
@Ash are you able to stick this above it?
