Q: How to unload previous level (class) in iOS

user1526474In my game, when I load a new level, the previous level seems to be still remaining in the view.. Each level has its own class and they all draw something on the screen. So if I have 2 or more levels of images loaded, that makes my game too slow. What can I do to unload the previous level? Thanks...

@fbueckert I am not using Cyclone anymore
Half a level away from 80...
@OrigamiRobot That's a massive change; what prompted that?
I am not generating enough tornadoes anymore
I'd rather have a constant +15%
@OrigamiRobot That means you dropped a ton of your crit chance.

I am down to 33%
@OrigamiRobot I have a ton less than that, and I generate lots of tornados.

KSP Pro Tip: Don't de-orbit two capsules at once. You are nearly guaranteed to lose one of them.
@MBraedley How are you managing to de-orbit two at once?
@fbueckert You don't have to end a flight, you can leave a capsule in orbit (or on the Mun or Minmus) and go to another active flight.
@MBraedley Oh. That's not deorbiting. That's crashing.
@fbueckert LOL, yeah. You can perform a deorbit burn on one, and then switch to the other, perform the burn, and still not have either hit atmo
@MBraedley Download MechJeb; it makes accurate orbital maneuvers so much easier.

EvilAmarant7xThe 'Steam version' is just the GFWL version made for sale via steam. You still have to login to a GFWL account to play online.

Q: In germany after WW2, how easy was have a woman?

RodrigoOk, the World War 2 finish and germany lost it. A lot of men died or were arrested. So, if you were a german and single man with normal age soldier (about 18 to 25 years) how are your lucky with woman? You were hunted by woman or was just like pre-war?

@GraceNote Yeah, I'm not talking about the mall, I'm close to that right now, I'm talking about the downtown area up further north.
Why is the town always down anyway
@badp There is such a thing as uptown.
They have little to do with "direction" though, and more to do with what's there.

@StrixVaria Congratulations on your engagement!
@FAE Thanks!

Have you set a date or anything yet?
No, but we're shooting for sometime next September.
We need to get out and start looking at places.
FAE
FAE
Cool, I wish you both the best. :)
@StrixVaria Uptown in NY has a great deal to do with direction.
12:05
@LessPop_MoreFizz The dictionary definition is just that downtown is commercial and uptown is residential.
I don't know anything about any specific cities.
@StrixVaria the wikipedia definition is actually pretty good here:
Downtown is a term primarily used in North America by English speakers to refer to a city's core (or center) or central business district (usually in a geographical, commercial, and community sense). The term is thought to have been coined in New York City, where it was in use by the 1830s to refer to the original town at the southern tip of the island of Manhattan. As the town of New York grew into a city, the only direction it could grow on the island was toward the north, proceeding upriver from the original settlement (the "up" and "down" terminology in turn came from the cus...
Now both definitions make sense! Yay!
I never knew why cities tend to concentrate commercial buildings densely in one area. Shouldn't mixed commercial residential areas make more sense from a transit point of view?
FAE
FAE
@YiJiang Sim City seems to think so.
@FAE Heh. Yeah, all of my high density Sim Cities are built like jam sandwiches
I build the entire city on a 5x5 grid
Looks boring, but sure as hell works.
12:09
@YiJiang What, you want lorries driving on wide street lines in front of your house?
@MartinSojka What is this house thing you speak of? 90% of residentials here are high-rise apartments :P
Really? That didn't one-box?
@YiJiang the answer to this is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more complicated than I have time to explain. But the short version is: Sure it might, but planning cities in terms of transit efficiency is an incredibly new phenomenon.
@LessPop_MoreFizz The Romans might disagree.
(If they weren't dead since the middle of the 15th century)
12:13
@MartinSojka The Romans might also be robots.
FAE
FAE
@OrigamiRobot You want everyone to be a robot.
@LessPop_MoreFizz You might be right (thinking of the fact that Manhattan’s grid street pattern originates from centuries past), but the city I'm living in now did place a large emphasis on transit efficiency and planning
Yet we still ended up with a large downtown core where all the commercial buildings cluster
Zoning regulations and Hotelling's game come into play, too, I imagine.
@FAE That's not true!
@YiJiang I did say it was the short version. It's pretty complicated.
FAE
FAE
12:17
@OrigamiRobot Uh huh.
@MartinSojka efficiency of travel is not the same as efficiency of transit in the modern sense. The Romans had no concept of the latter really.
@FAE That's it. You're out of the robot uprising cupcake party.
FAE

@OrigamiRobot Fine, then I'll just have my own party.
Your party will be assimilated and you will be kicked out.
@FAE Are the rest of us non-robots invited?

12:20
@TimStone Yes, yes you are.
Hooray!
@YiJiang Workplace areas in the 18th and 19th centuries probably weren't very hot in the housing market
You know, what with the nasty smokes and the infernal sounds and the around-the-clock activity and the bells and the smelly workers.
@TimStone You have Sleeping Dogs? :O
How is it?
FAE
FAE
@badp You can just market it as a bustling, lively neighborhood!
@YiJiang I do! It's fantastic, especially because it makes me so nostalgic, heh. Looks great, was pretty decent story-wise and all that. The only downside might be that it was only something like 20 hours of play time to complete a majority of the game, but that's not terribly uncommon these days.
I think that there's reports that they're planning some major DLC for it in the future, but I'm not sure of the details. The current DLC is just silly, though.
(arguably a good thing, because it means they didn't keep useful content in their back pocket, but)
12:36
Oh, and I think I mentioned this earlier, but today's Daily Deal on Steam is Shatter - store.steampowered.com/app/20820. You should get it if only for the soundtrack (which, priced regularly at $2.99, is more than the price of the game + soundtrack is right now)

@YiJiang Yeah, I really enjoy that game's soundtrack.
@AshleyNunn It really isn't that hard. In fact I'd be more impressed if he managed to find as many excellent A51 proposals as he has bad ones.
12:52
@Wipqozn A51 trolling is old hat, most of the good stuff has already been mined out, and the new stuff that comes in is pretty repetetive usually.

Could Muhammed rape any woman without punishment - I don't see what could possibly go wrong with a question like that. (++ For the islam.se community for handling it with maturity.)

@MadScientist I saw you slapped Jim with a year.
He now has two concurrent suspensions. I wonder where he'll pick up number 3. (Yes, I stalked him around the network last night.)
13:00
@LessPop_MoreFizz Why? Looks like it's just going to be closed for off-topic,. that's all.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Wasn't me personally (and I can't say anthing beyond what is public, of course)
@MartinSojka It's essentially a non-jew coming in and asking "WHY DID YOU JEWS DO THAT AWFUL THING." (That said, it'll probably just be closed as off topic and go away, but if he decides to get upset about that, it could get ugly.)
@MadScientist I didn't ask you to, and yeah, I meant collective you as in 'Skeptics mods'.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Funny thing, the answer is BECAUSE JEWS ARE PEOPLE JUST LIKE YOU. :D
And by telling me that you can't say anything beyond what's public, you've implied more than I was going to guess. His suspension makes perfect sense with what's already public and no further inputs, tbqh - the duration could easily be the result of prior suspensions that I wasn't aware of.
Seriously, a lot of answers to questions of the kind "Why did (this small group of people) commit (this heinous crime)?" can be answered by "Because they are humans, and humans do that."
13:04
@MartinSojka But but but but but it must because they are part of some larger group that is morally and racially defective and inferior and whom I must condescend to and yell at on the internet!

Person in charge of reviewing new students 'n' all that? She was driving, thugs try to reach through windows, daughter beats them off and then green light
And yeah, carjacking is a real thing.
Yeah, somebody didn't read "Mein Kampf", clearly. Seriously, excerpts of it should be required reading in history classes. The kind of "This text? He couldn't possibly mean it like this, right? Well ... that's exactly what happened 10 years later."

FAE
FAE
@LessPop_MoreFizz ...
@GraceNote Why?
@FAE Maybe he's just a time traveller, lookin' to get laid?
I'd used to say "Stay away from Westfield" (which was my former hometown, mind you) because they were quietly known as "Pothole city" for quite some time. Then recent decisions to re-renovate the streets every week basically meant you'd be ripping your car a new one to drive through there
I want that new Baldur's Gate to hit Steam. I know I'm going to buy it from their website and 2 weeks later it'll hit Steam, and then I'll cry like a little girl.
13:12
@GraceNote I've driven in newark. I can handle your 'pothole city'.
@LessPop_MoreFizz "Pretty easy if you were an American. Rather easy if you were a Russian, but you'd have to share her with the rest of the company." (That's exaggerated, of course, but sadly not that far from the truth)
But then, like, three or four months ago, suddenly Westfield has the best streets I've seen in years across this entire state. I guess five years of sufferous uprooted "not streets but you're literally driving on dirt" was worth it eventually
@LessPop_MoreFizz I keep thinking Newark is some city in Europe
@Sterno I'd be very surprised if it hits Steam anytime soon, given that they are trying to use it to push people to download their beamdog client.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm sure their client will be a huge hit. I mean, it's not like we already have to juggle Steam, Desura, Impulse, Gamersgate, Gog, Origin...

@fbueckert Good afternoon!
What is with big-budget games coming out on Tuesdays?
@StrixVaria everything comes out on tuesdays.
13:22
@StrixVaria Tuesday is a common release date
In terms of mass media products.
It's a quirk of the way retail and shipping used to work that has become cultural standard.
There's a fairly concise explanation from Powerlord on the subject from a few years back
That way I can't fully enjoy it until 4 days after people without jobs.
They know Tuesday is one of the days I work from home, and know it's more important that I play games than get stuff done.
FAE
FAE
@LessPop_MoreFizz Which makes it so everyone has a 3 day headstart for those of us in the EU, where it's all Friday releases. :(
13:23
The short version is, when you ship a new product to arrive on monday, you release it on tuesday to ensure that everyone in every store everywhere in the country can open the boxes at the same time.
Physical copies of PC games are for nerds.
@Sterno Another major factor is sales charts that publish on mondays.
Movies release on friday because weekend box office matters. Retail products care about sell through on the entire week.
I can't remember the last PC game I actually bought a physical copy of

@YiJiang ?
I bought New Vegas because instead of an art book it came with a comic book. And also poker chips and a deck of cards.
Ah, I see. How was the lunchbox?
and goddamnit, I really need to leave like yesterday.
Did you ever stop by the Big E?

@Sterno Yeah, I understand. The GW2 CE is huge. I'm still not sure where to put it yet.
