I believe Arctic was referring to her arm cannon as the thing, not her.

well crap... so much for changing the password for my pages on the company that owns the apartment complex..
warm hedge
ya dan referring to thing as being the weapon not the uh person.
fierce sundial
Yeah all good though, Adhara jumps the gun sometimes but if you just didn't know, "tranny" is a bit of a slur. Saying "trans" is fine though.
I don't know myself when it became a slur, I always grew up with that being the common term but eh, better to learn now than never right?
warm hedge
well either way like i said i dont play overwatch, only played it a few times in og beta, an not played it since, not interested in that sorta game play and as such idk which person is who i only oremember a few.
if you ask me it was never a slur til society turned it into one but thats another convo for some other time/place

also looks like i have to contact the apartment complex owners webb support.. again.. and get the password reset.. AGAIN..

You know how Windows 7 had those widgets on the side of your screen?
It's a fullscreen version of that basically
But with the ability for people to make custom widgets

oh ok

It's pretty nifty but niche at the same time
warm hedge
wonder what the positives of that would be
maybe if youre like visually handicapped or somethin
haughty topaz
well the gfycat shows the project working with a GBA emulator
so on top of your steam and blizzard games, you can also make emulator shortcuts and put them in one folder
no more going to the emulator and then opening a rom... just make the shortcut and put inside the folder. the project already scans the folder automatically so no need to perform any additional configurations
you would basically have a big screen to access your most important games... kinda like netflix
sly garnet
well that do sound useful
haughty topaz
😄
fierce sundial
I've only used RainMeter on my very rarely put together 4 screen display. One on right, center, and left. Then a fourth above center aimed down for RainMeter
It's like a giant status board of everything on your PC
But it takes a decent amount out of processing plus, having to run a 4th monitor is a lot for a GPU to handle so I rarely ever do it.
haughty topaz
the most recent skins are very light on CPU
fierce sundial
Also depends heavily on the widgets you use
haughty topaz
the most recent code stuff the devs introduced make it not necessary to request updates from the CPU at each milisecond
fierce sundial
That's better than it was in the past then
haughty topaz
so they request CPU power only when changes are made
fierce sundial
Either way though, it's a pretty cool program.
haughty topaz
did you watch the GIF?
fierce sundial
I did
haughty topaz

Pretty nifty but I think I'd only use it if it auto detected games and not had you put a shortcut there

@timber crag blizzard can use logs and screen shots of proof to permanently ban you from purchasing their game and refusing you service.

Lets just ignore the Banwaves by the Hundreds by simple Exploit Using

They will absolutely ban your router itself and make you buy a new one and repeated offences can land you in legal issues.

they warned me about those legal issues already

Not caring about that is pretty retarded tbh

young frigate
if you really don't care... why are you here? if being banned permanently means nothing to you, why even be bothered with the game in the first place?
spice goblet
They probably just like making shit worse for other people
steady fossil
It's definitely not that they "don't care." They've seen what you use and are preparing a ban wave on it.
Speaking of, 7.3 has an entirely new packaged .exe that particularly fights botters. As you noticed and commented before on the PTR

Any issues Blizzard and Ferib have with each other, involving his participation in whatever activities in their game... is between them. We do not wish to be involved and told him accordingly that he may not use our Discord/site as a platform to share/discuss his videos or anything else that violates Blizzard's Terms/EULA.
To be clear: This is the exact same thing I say to anyone who uses/discusses private servers on our Discord/site. This is an impartial resolution to the situation. If you don't want to talk to Ferib at all, there are tools for that, but we're not willing to ban over this one incident.
timber crag

Except it's not the first incident. He's asked about packet sniffing the game, attaching debuggers, and such before. At one point he was trying to make a map that show enemy locations in battlegrounds.

That was related to self promotion. Still not something I'd ban someone over. I appreciate everyone's concern with maintaining our integrity and such, but please recognize that we're not Blizzard.

Everyone's on the same page. Thank you.

Mixed feelins about it.
One could look at it as gambling, another could see it as RNG
spring heath
But RNG with real money is technically gambling.
Hell, it's called 'a gamble' even with game currency.
steady fossil
I mean... we pay for a subscription + the initial game to play a game that's nearly purely RNG at every turn for loot drops.
At what point is it RNG and what is it gambling?
spring heath
Legion is like, RNG Hell honestly. But there's a lot of other things to do outside of that RNG factor.
Which, I mean, Overwatch boxes are just cosmetic stuff, right? But there are some games that have microtransactions that effect the actual gameplay.
turbid copper
Yeah, Overwatch boxes are purely cosmetic stuff, and, admittedly, it's improved massively imho since they set it where you get dupes a lot less if your collection isn't done.
spring burrow
If that guaranteed legendary thing is also RNG then its even more hell

really curious if they will allow unlocked portraits from Overwatch/Heroes to be available with the new 'social' app, along with HOTS EMOJI

Gambling is RNG
That's a fact ^^"
That's why Gacha games (use ingame currency to play lottery, kinda) need to publish their rates on Asia
Remember, Overwatch has forced to change from selling boxes to sell ingame currency and gift boxes with that

Also, I know I'm a little slow on the uptake for this, but did Lonesamurai and Samutz really leave the server? Are they coming back?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0YzunWoLsY is a good example of infomercial stuff that's useful

Ok and double click on that same thing
Are both IP address and DNS servers in there set to automatic?

You're trying to connect wired though correct?
barren stone
I've got a weird box thing that sends it through the power somehow? There is a cable connected to either side of said box though.
It's just the location of this PC is so far away from the other and the router, running a cable through the house would be impractical! It isn't on wireless though
Oddly I've had no problems with this before, the PC has been fine up until now
dreamy path
I would suspect that's the problem
I'm guessing you're talking about Ethernet over powerline

Is there anything along with it to indicate there's a link between the two? Like a light or something?
Ethernet over powerline is susceptible to interference

I'm afraid I'm unsure what that means

Like unplug them and plug them back in
barren stone
I have with the green one, just about to do it here!

Yea if that doesn't work the possibilities could be endless. I'd have to research the specific make and model of the adapters, etc. Could be hardware failure, could be noise, could be interference, etc. etc. etc.

I'm in New Zealand!
We have some incredibly cheeky parrots over here, but not as north as I am unfortunately

I think I might be crazy but I swear there's a coven of parakeets in my woods.
Someone must of released them or something but I've owned budgies for 5 years now and I could never mistake that call.
I hear them every so often, screeching in unison.
silver glen
I'm in Aus, and I've seen a flock of parakeets once or twice before!
fierce sundial
Yeah, the majority of pet store birds are from Australia naturally

I have wanted to care for a Cockatiel for a while now, but I can't bring myself to. Keeping it in a cage, it must get so bored and feel so trapped!
silver glen
We had a cockatiel once, but in one of those big, wooden, indoor aviaries that's like seven feet tall and three feet deep, all for him
barren stone
I would not feel good about myself until I let it free fly with the doors open, haha
Like my cats, they can go anywhere anytime they want
I want to give them the best life, you know?
silver glen
My cat despises the outside, it's friggin' hilarious
If you leave a door open that leads outside, she'll sit there and meow bloody murder until it's closed
Then she stops and goes off somewhere seeming real satisfied with herself
barren stone
Huh! Interesting
silver glen
We took her outside once and she walked around on the grass, sniffed something, then was like NAH THANKS bolts inside
barren stone
"YOU'RE LETTING THE HEAT OUT MAAOOO!" Haha
Maybe they got roughed up by an outside cat, don't feel safe out there? Maybe one sprays in your garden so it is not her territory?
Interesting fact, a male domestic cat's territory is on average 10 times larger than the female's
silver glen
Nah, we got her from a cattery that had her since she was a kitten, and I dunno about the last bit. We have a quarter acre to ourselves, and I've never seen another cat about, but I suppose it's possible
Honestly I think she's just a diva
silver glen
Well in the literal sense, yeah, but I meant more in the colloquial sense of a woman who has to have everything her way and likes to be spoiled
barren stone
Aah, one of mine is like that
She is extremely fussy with her food
And we have to keep switching brands and flavours every day, else she gets bored of it
She would rather get skinny than eat boring food, apparently
silver glen
Thankfully ours likes the brand we stuck with, but it took so long to find one she liked @_@
Picky picky picky
barren stone
Very picky!
Another we have loves to kick people off their chairs.. If you're on a chair she likes, she will stare at you for a few minutes, unblinking, then start standing on you with her claws out
Once you stand up, she takes your spot immediately
silver glen
Ha!

Our third and youngest is a rescued wild kitty, only has three legs because he got caught in an animal trap before we picked him up from the shelter
Apparently nobody was adopting him, so he was going to be put down

She's basically got like a ruff of fur, it's great

I love those!
Once my partner and I get our own place (rip house prices in NZ though lol), we are hoping to get a Maine Coon

A one bedroom one bathroom apartment-room-sized house sold for..
1.2 million
Right up the street
silver glen
Holy moly
barren stone
Myself, my sisters, my partner, we all can't afford to buy one, even if we saved up over 50 years
One of my sisters is a high ranking officer in the police
Not even they can afford houses?
She can afford to rent though
silver glen
That's crazy
barren stone
Yeah, luckily there has been an election recently. The outcome isn't decided yet, but all the parties advertised that they will make it more affordable, so hopefully something is done soon!
At least, the two major parties did, and at least one of them always gets in
If all else fails, we should have enough money to travel overseas and live there?
silver glen
Australia's a bit better with cost of living and average wages, and it's not far. Always an option!

Phew, I'm bad with heat though! :P
I hear you guys are also having a housing crisis? I think Vancouver is too?
silver glen
Sydney is, but other places are reasonably alright.
barren stone
I quite like the idea of Scotland or Ireland, I hear it's very cold
barren stone
I can walk outside naked at 3C and overheat, I think I'd be very welcome over in a cold place like that
Summer is dreadful over here, even Spring, and it's only about 20 (Spring) 27 (Summer)
I don't know how people manage! Haha
Gosh, and I know a fellow in Arizona.. I'd die lmao

@silver glen OMG YOU HAVE SEEN FLOCKS OF WILD BUDGIES

Would love to visit Oz sometime and see them firsthand

Different topic: Is there an option in Windows to make it so that if I move things side to side on the taskbar, it automatically pins them instead of me needing to right-click and select "pin to taskbar"?
silver glen
Hm, mine does that automatically.
unreal bluff
So there must be a setting to toggle since mine does NOT
I'll move something to an optimal position but then it doesn't stay in the taskbar at all if I close it.

Lol, I'm loving the DESPERATE attempt to get gains off of Discord by ripping it on the Blizz Launcher.
bleak bloom
multiple companys did it now
if they really add it in like not only launcher but also in games it could get interresting
even discord itself used an already existing way for that whole setup
i think the original thing was called stack
neon hinge
Yes.
fierce sundial
Yeah, it's all just a copy of IRC when you get down to it.
Everyone's got to have their own version that works best with their stuff.
I imagine though it would be more efficient running comms through Bnet than Discord than, considering it's already running as part of WoW and not a separate program.
fierce sundial
😛
Somethings are entirely just extra haha
But hey, at least they can say "We're Skype, but not shit"
spring heath
I just wish Discord worked better for the setup my husband and I use for skyping the uncles. for some reason Discord only wants to pick up the person in front of the computer whereas skype picks up from all over the room, so when we tried discord the uncles could only hear me and not him.
Skype gives one uncle computer issues because of all the ads.
fierce sundial
Well, Discords audio codex is specialised for streamers and gaming.
It purposely tries to cut out unwanted backround noise, so sorry for your husband.
At least it isn't like WoW old built in voice comms.
spring heath
I've never used ingame voice
fierce sundial
That was raw 1:1, could hear just about everything since studio mics weren't common back then.
I think it was removed after WoTLK but it was a 50/50 thing.
You could only hear anybody else if you had it enabled, had strangers enabled, and were in their party/raid.
spring heath
I wish there was an option in discord to allow background chatter
fierce sundial
Just crank that fucking sensitivity 😛
If you have a gain dial, crank that shit up too.
unreal bluff
Background chatter?
fierce sundial
Background noise that is normally filtered out by the codex.
bleak bloom
shouldnt deactivatiing something there help?
neon hinge
@fierce sundial TBF Discord runs on Chrome Canary xD
spring heath
I just tried disabling Noise Suppression but the guildie who tested it with me could still barely hear me, even if I was standing right behind the laptop, about where the husband would be sitting while he gamed.
fierce sundial
Hey, I have a lot of gripes about Discord in general and dislike using it, I just don't have the patience to make my own app so I hardly complain.
Maybe the orientation of your mic input is the blame then.
Sound doesn't travel around laptops like that, at least not easily.
turbid copper
honestly discord, for me, has been a much more positive experience than how skype's behaved in recent years, especially with all the fucking ads skype runs at once, it bogs everything down.
spring heath
Well, Skype never gives us issues with being heard, just Discord. He can be across the room or in the kitchen and only have to speak up just a little to still be heard.
With Discord only I can be heard and him not at all, since i'm in front of the laptop
fierce sundial
Agreed, but there's not an alternative out there at the moment.
I love the server system of Discord but I have too many problems with audio quality and processor use to love it for it's full package.
spring heath
Yeah, I've been trying to find an alternative for Skype since on occasion his anti-virus gets triggered by a Skype ad and it shuts down his laptop.
'Him' being one of my uncles, that is.
fierce sundial
Hmm
I have no clue honestly
In terms of video chat, there isn't anything else out there.
Everyone always just deals with it.
spring heath
We don't video with Skype, just voice.
spring heath
Which is why we were cool with switching to Discord, since at the time it didn't have video and it didn't matter to us.
Don't you have to pay for TS?
fierce sundial
No but that's a bit of a grey recommendation.
To get TS3 for free you can host your own server instead of paying.
Requires minute setup but works well.
bleak bloom
even using the public server could be possible for that
fierce sundial
^
neon hinge
I think has more to do with the mic settings
silver glen
Might be a stupid question, but doesn't Discord have push to talk as an option? I'm on mobile so I can't check, but wouldn't that cut out less background stuff?
neon hinge
If works in Skype has to work in Discord too
spring heath
I tested it on an open mic, like we would have it set up during a chat with the uncles.
She could barely hear me if I moved away from right in front of the laptop
spring heath
I have never heard of it.
neon hinge
Telegram*
spring heath
Also... never heard of it lol
neon hinge
I guess it's not that popular in the states
bleak bloom
or anywhere outsideof spain?
silver glen
Can't figure what it'd be. Even on voice detect, Discord sometimes picks up my friend's cat meowing in another room while we're playing
unreal bluff
I'm excited about the new screenshare. I can watch DVDs with my friends again without using Skype!
(Presumably it's no more illegal than if I invited them over to my house and put a DVD in the player. I think there's kind of a fuzzy area though)
spring heath
There was/is a site that lets long-distance movie-watching together thing happen
It's the same idea, so I can't see it being a bad thing.
young frigate
you're welcome 😸
unreal bluff
I do legally own all my DVDs. Not like I'm broadcasting pirated movies or anything. XD
fierce sundial
I don't think anyone questioned the legalities but now that you're defensive we might 🤔
unreal bluff
The only movie I've downloaded was a digital version of a movie I have on DVD so I think even that's technically legal
fierce sundial
It's legal to make infinite copies as long as you don't sell them
unreal bluff
…and I only downloaded that because it was the Japanese-audio version of the movie and I'm a tremendous fucking weeaboo xD
neon hinge
What movie, if I can ask
unreal bluff
Pacific Rim
neon hinge
Ah, this one
unreal bluff
I love Pacific Rim with the kind of fervor only autistic children and ex-children can muster
fierce sundial
You're allowed to redownload any version of a software as long as you legally own 1 copy
So you're good
unreal bluff
Someday I'd like to have Japanese-dubbed versions of all the other movies I love
Because weeaboo
I never could find out who dubbed Hannibal Chau in the Japanese version of PR though :/

Haha, my weebness was useful! I helped a co-volunteer at the thrift store identify an old Japanese book that now he can price for eBay

So I think I mentioned yesterday I got bit by a turtle because turtles are assholes?
I thought helping a stranded turtle would be like this
Instead it was like this
fierce sundial
Sounds like self defense more than being an asshole 😛
unreal bluff
Yes Dino Dan I used a meme of a dude to represent myself. Because I don't care
frosty tundra
He's referring to the turtle defending itself rather than being an asshole. Not sure what relevance his comment had to you using a male meme?
unreal bluff
Well he did kind of imply female bodies are bad, put words in my mouth, and never apologised
young frigate
if you're still upset about it you should address it directly rather than being passive aggressive about it
also perhaps handle it outside the server if possible
unreal bluff
I have him blocked. It's handled. Just wish Discord had an option to not display blocked message banners that disrupt a conversation
fierce sundial
As someone who is currently a freelance game dev, it's a lot better than being an employed game dev.
wraith current
I suppose since I did just get out of university for it, I've still got my shiny eyes
fierce sundial
You make your own schedules and set the price 😛
flat brook
Sorry Dan lol. I have most channels muted because a large portion of the server doesn't mean much to me xD (As in, I'm US Horde so all Alliance and EU channels are muted)
fierce sundial
Did you do an actual game dev degree or just general comp sci?
fierce sundial
Nice! I've only got a 5 year comp sci myself.
wraith current
which kinda was a bad call since I wanted to do design
and that requires more coding than I got
fierce sundial
I've been wanting to do advanced game dev as a "give me something to do" online course
wraith current
but I know how to make semi-alright 3d models so there's that
fierce sundial
I can do boxes
That's about it
If I need a model or something I'll either call my sister up or hire another freelancer
Also, as for not wanting to play your own game, it happens but only if you spend too much irritating time on one specific part.
Like orbital projectile motion
Moment I see that I want to sit down and cry from PTSD
wraith current
but yeah re: getting into gamedev @flat brook something my professors always drilled into me was that in order to get into this industry you have to be utterly obsessed with making games
pretty much all I've done for the last two days was eat, sleep, play a wee bit of WoW and Heroes, and work on organizing my spells spreadsheet for my tabletop RPG I've been developing
flat brook
I'm currently doing a Digital Media course which is fairly broad. One of the majors of that is Game Dev, which is why that conversation peaked my interest 😛
wraith current
in preparation for doing what I did TODAY, which was rebalance spell resist variance
fierce sundial
If you don't live and breathe pixels, you won't last.
wraith current
and you have to be willing to put that kinda effort in every day
flat brook
I can't say that I do lol. May have to reconsider then.
fierce sundial
Totally agree with your professor btw Brew, if you can't put the effort into 3-4 jobs, you won't make it as a game dev.
You've got developing, fundamentals, art, and finance.
wraith current
every thursday for the last two months of my last semester I got an average of 2 hours of sleep under a desk in the Comm Arts building

Actually, my RPG is a side project
fierce sundial
What's the main project? O-o
wraith current
I've been working on it for 3 years now and since I'm out, I figure I can make that my 100% job for now until I find something in video games
a VIVE Archery Exercise game called VRchery
fierce sundial
That sounds lit af
wraith current
it was SUPER fun
wraith current
I was largely in charge of fine-tuning the spawning balance and the level design
in what sense
fierce sundial
It was a project a few guys did earlier this year
It links whatever the VIVE sees into the world of the HoloLens
wraith current
WOOOOOOAH
fierce sundial
It's an open source project that I've been trying to find an excuse to open up but I don't own a HoloLens yet
wraith current
Oh shit thats not unity
God that environment looked so much like it
also dont you diss Unity, Unity is a precious babe
fierce sundial
Unity is an expensive child with a dying friend base.
As much as I loved using it, the community only got smaller when UDK went free.
wraith current
you sure you aren't thinking of something else? 😛
because Unity's been growing, pretty sure
its pretty popular for indie dev
and awesome for students
fierce sundial
Has it gotten better?
I'll be honest, I haven't touched it or peeped at it since late 2016
fierce sundial
There was a huge support drought at the time that drove a lot of people towards Unreal
wraith current
thats weird; Unity has always been super well documented
fierce sundial
I need to be more specific, not documentation but community support. It felt like you were alone using it.
You'd go on forums to ask a question about one of the engines plugins and have to wait a week for a response.
wraith current
even then, every time I look something up I can find someone had already asked it, it seems like
sure you aren't thinking of another engine? 😛
then again, I've also only recently started really digging into coding since I wanted to improve myself, so I may just have too narrow a field of view
but 5.6.3 has been really nice; still waiting for a liiiittle bit before upgrading to 2017
fierce sundial
I'm sure it's just me, my information on it's dated by a year.
wraith current
last time I talked with some other people about it they were a bit worried
The only thing I think Unity needs to work on is Collab
or rather, the only real big thing
Collab can behave really funky
'least it did last spring, when I still did multi person projects haha
fierce sundial
Is the pro version still the only way to actually use it? Like, all of the higher end and deeper stuff is still restricted?
wraith current
don't think so no
fierce sundial
Hmm
I might give it a shot again then.
I've been missing a lot of stuff about it since I switched to Unreal
wraith current
I still like it just because of how easy it is to work with
drag-and-drop asset integration is amazeballs
wraith current
heh
one thing I WILL say about Unreal tho
out of the box that thing is soooooo much nicer for greyboxing
wraith current
haven't touched networking with a 50 ft pole sooo haha
wraith current
I just make levels man
and tabletop RPGs
and balance stuff
though now prototyping!
fierce sundial
If you ever need some generic coding or advanced mathmatical algoreethums, I can lend aide. I work for free when I'm drunk
wraith current
pff
I appreciate it haha
I'm trying to get more into coding like I said though... just since I know that's pretty important for a designer
currently working on a lil silly "game" / app about visualizing how much food it takes to reach your daily caloric limit
and then I have some plans for prototyping a hookshot type ability for a game I kinda want to make
mystic dune
i hear it loses all charm in a corporate environment
mystic dune
yes
fierce sundial
Oh, yeah, that's an important note to leave on.
Every programmer picks up a unique style, if you go into a coding environment with other programmers, they will force you to conform to prevent any confusion in the code when you're fired down the line.
wraith current

but I'm a fairly flexible guy
I could probably adapt
mystic dune
make sure you have a hobby outside work to keep you sane
because your corporate boss will never appreciate the work that went into your code
fierce sundial
That's why you do stupid shit like "Ctrl+Alt+K " opening a window of your boss sleeping with the secretary
wraith current
oh boy
mystic dune
but ye, theres decent money in coding if you get in the right job
wraith current
I figure that I'll get plenty of appreciation when I code something and can visibly see it work in engine
there's something fulfilling about creating
mystic dune
some places will just keep you on staff just to keep their servers up, and you can just fuck about the IT room or wherever they stuff you.
wraith current
I certainly don't plan on working on this career path for the money 😛
gamedev is notoriously underpaid for the effort involved
mystic dune
well, try to get hired on to the right company
wraith current
here's hoping! haha
mystic dune
Valve is still a good company for gamedev, but it’s harder to get into. But you get a lot of freedom to do your own thing.
My tip, put a lot of effort into Source mods. Make something great, and they’ll hire you.
See: the Black Mesa Source staff.
or Portal’s staff
wraith current
I've done a bit of looking at them, but I've noticed that the claim of freedom of projects is a bit illusory
there's peer pressure to work on larger projects, and they've definitely shifted more towards managing current games than working on new ones
at least from my understanding
I'd still love to work there I think, provided I can make stuff
but expectations curbed 😛
mystic dune
just dont expect to work on half life 3 😉
mystic dune
valve learned they can make money rather than make games
via steam
but they’re still working on stuff
But I think its all VR related
wraith current
I heard they were doing some Dota 2 content as well, new characters
and tbh
I'd love to work on more VR stuff... VRchery was an awesome experience
