They're ruining the income for a lot of game devs and they don't give a shit

viral parrot
#

so they feel like a real company

vapid bluff
#

but for the unbuyable part, you have to have it in your lib before it gets pulled so you reckon they wont allow any keys to be activated afterward?

viral parrot
#

yes

#

unless it is stated otherwise

vapid bluff
#

it seems like theyd be setting themselves up for a lot of potential work processing all those complaints and refunds

viral parrot
#

now that is all automated

#

complaints to valve is piped to the void

vapid bluff
#

oh i see lol

sand goblet
#

I only heard about g2a from totalbiscuit's coverage

#

He did some great work around that

gentle moss
#

30% cut is pretty big tbh

#

12% cut seems a little small though

#

viral parrot
#

TB was a well informed man. did his research.

gentle moss
#

OH SHIT HE DIED

#

fuck

viral parrot
#

are you serious?

gentle moss
#

bit out the loop i guess

viral parrot
#

a bit.. yeahh..

gentle moss
#

i knew he got cancer :(

viral parrot
#

been dead for 1 year

#
  1. May 2018
gentle moss
#

i wasn't exactly a big fan of his but he was good at what he did

viral parrot
#

RIP TB

gentle moss
#

indeed

#

his quake commentating annoyed me but his other content was good

#

awww what a shame :(

viral parrot
#

the quake live thing or quake champions?

gentle moss
#

Quake Live

viral parrot
#

yeah agree, but im biast, used to play quake pro back in the day

gentle moss
#

i played a shit load of Quake 3 / Quake Live

#

little bits of QWTF when it was dying out

viral parrot
#

great times ๐Ÿ˜„

#

you know all the people that have been playing quake for 20 years now are incredible good now

gentle moss
#

people wonder why i couldn't get behind TF2 :'(

viral parrot
#

tf2 is to difficult for me to even get started

#

its like rocket league, just to high skill ceiling

gentle moss
#

no offhand nades

#

it can go eat it

viral parrot
#

but i do enjoy watching pros play it

gentle moss
#

if i can't zoom zoom conc jump everywhere i'm not up for it

sand goblet
#

I'm a fan of tf2

#

There is currently a pyro contract available that gets you, among other things, a projectile flamethrower and a jetpack

gentle moss
#

see, it's that stuff.

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

sand goblet
#

It's all pretty well balanced

#

You just need to have some idea what you're doing

gentle moss
#

i'd rather a game that's consistent though

#

sort of why i don't get along well with new games.

sand goblet
#

It's consistent

#

And it's also not new at all

gentle moss
#

it's newer than Quake 3 :P

sand goblet
#

Regardless of the weapon, classes are predictable

#

Pyros will always have some kind of flamethrower

#

Soldiers will always have some kind of rocket launcher

#

It's the way you use them that changes

#

The canonical way to play soldier is to launch rockets at people

viral parrot
#

class based shooters will always be more complex then quake, but balancing must be difficult

gentle moss
#

sure, but i'm just saying i'd like a game that stays the same forever

sand goblet
#

But you could also get yourself a rocket jumper, mantreads and a market gardener

gentle moss
#

tbh QWTF and Quake 3 Fortress were far more intricate than I found TF2 to be when it first came out

sand goblet
#

Rocket jumping at people and smacking them with your shovel while still in the jump for a crit

gentle moss
#

plus faster paced

sand goblet
#

And also it hasn't really changed that much

#

If you want to stick to old style tf2, you can do that

gentle moss
#

there was a reason i only played Q3 CPMA for about 8 years

sand goblet
#

They've added things rather than changed things :P

gentle moss
#

yes but that doesn't help if i don't like TF2 at all does it

sand goblet
#

It doesn't sound like you gave it fair chance is all

#

But I have 500 hours so, lol

gentle moss
#

it probably doesn't help that i played earlier fortress mods to death first

sand goblet
#

Maybe

#

The TF2 Community certainly has fun with it now though

#

Lots of weird gamemodes and servers

#

I like smash fortress

#

It's like smash bros, but team fortress

viral parrot
#

cool

#

have anyone done tf2 pro vs fortnite pro?

#

that would be interesting ๐Ÿ˜„

sand goblet
#

Haha, well, there have been people on my servers talking about how good they are at fortnite

#

They're usually at the bottom of the scoreboard

viral parrot
#

lol ๐Ÿ˜„

sand goblet
#

There's a lot of movement tech in tf2

#

Some classes do better if you flank from behind

#

You have rocket jumping, flare jumping, sticky bomb jumping

#

Some weapons change your speed and some classes are faster or slower

#

None of that exists in fortnite

#

So it's quite different

gentle moss
#

Q3F Beta 1h was sickly fun

#

concussion grenade gave huge boosts with no downsides

sand goblet
#

That's kind of a bad :P

gentle moss
#

it was fairly balanced considering they'd die in a single rocket and a shotgun blast

#

plus fully utilising them required decent amounts of skill

#

they fixed it in Beta 2 so you'd drunk walk / aim after a conc

#

made it even harder to be a good scout

sand goblet
#

Scout today is an interesting class

#

Fast and high damage but quite squishy

gentle moss
#

to be honest the biggest thing that annoyed me about TF2 was the removal of offhand grenades.

sand goblet
#

Offhand grenades would ruin it tbh

#

The 3 weapon meta works well

#

But it's a lot to mentally deal with

#

Offhand grenades would just widen the skill gap, which nobody wants

gentle moss
#

i wouldn't mind that ยฌ_ยฌ

sand goblet
#

Well most people want a balanced game

#

It's boring to constantly be wrecked, or to constantly wreck

gentle moss
#

just because i'm better with offhand grenades doesn't mean the game isn't balanced

#

i get that people don't want to smash their faces into brick walls anymore though

#

it's not how games are made

sand goblet
#

And people also don't want to be that brick wall

#

There's no fun if there ain't a challenge

gentle moss
#

oh i get the sentiment

sand goblet
#

It's fine to be that guy on an idle or trade server or on like, hightower

#

Because that's casual and nobody gives a shit

#

We're all screwing around anyway

lone otter
#

especially so in tf2

gentle moss
#

i miss super fast games :(

rough sapphire
#

I can suggest Risk of Rain and Risk of Rain 2, both are great fun and in it's own way fast paced ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

gentle moss
#

specifically FPS :p

rough sapphire
#

Then I can't really help. Huge CS fan my self, but far from fast in any way ๐Ÿ˜›

gentle moss
#

CS is fast in its own way

#

CS:GO's pretty solid

#

still prefer 1.5

#

CS / Quake were basically all i played when i was younger

rough sapphire
#

Compared to Quake, I'd say far from fast. It can compare on a lot of levels, but I wouldn't say fast paced is one of them

gentle moss
#

Team Fortress mods here and there

#

it's "burst pace" sorta

#

nothing happens for like half a round and then shit hits the fan very quickly

rough sapphire
#

I guess, depending on the level you play in

gentle moss
#

i was never good at remembering the CS:GO ranks

#

in CS:S i played at CAL-Main level

#

but CAL is dead now

rough sapphire
#

I used to play with a semi-pro Quake player, his enemy tracking with the mouse was just out of this world from years of Quake

gentle moss
#

Legendary Eagle, that's the bastard

rough sapphire
#

You don't need that much player tracking in CS, which in turn kind of make it slow as you mostly just hold an angle

#

Been Global for years. Believe I hit level 8 on Faceit too before I decided the game was too much stress for me ๐Ÿ˜›

gentle moss
#

the effort to get the last few steps just wasn't worth it when i was playing in a little squad

#

i think Global Elite is probably CAL-I / CAL-M sorta level

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

#

i cared far more about it as a pimply faced youth

rough sapphire
#

These days it's all a bout FPL on Faceit (Faceit Pro League) in Europe anyways

gentle moss
#

similar to ESEA?

#

or CEVO?

rough sapphire
#

Yes

#

ESEA is the NA version of Faceit

#

CEVO is less relevant I'd say

gentle moss
#

i used to play with yanks rather than europeans

#

at the time it was far easier to be good

#

cough

rough sapphire
#

Funny how the players have evolved, the skill level is very high even for entry in the lowest competetive scenes

gentle moss
#

yeah

#

and the Americans have caught up with Europe

rough sapphire
#

Mmm. Last time I checked NA had won one LAN tournament

#

And it was an SA team ๐Ÿ˜‚

gentle moss
#

:D

rough sapphire
#

But could be different now, I haven't been active for the past 2-3 years

gentle moss
#

it's changed drastically since i was playing competitive

#

the skill pool for America in Quake / CS was super weak

#

in 10 years they've caught up quite a lot

rough sapphire
#

It's so much more available these days too. No more mIRC for finding teams to play against etc ๐Ÿ˜›

#

Press play and you're good to go - More or less

gentle moss
#

that was always a ball ache

rough sapphire
gentle moss
#

good pickup games though

rough sapphire
#

But these sites are pretty much where you want to go for a chance to play in a high competitive environment these days

gentle moss
#

that was one advantage of IRC

#

everyone on there was usually a decent player and had good respect for having a nice game

rough sapphire
#

That too. These days it's not good banter, it's just full on fucking toxicity. Really killed a lot of the vibes for me in the start

#

Once you learn to block the chat the game is really great with a full team of friends

gentle moss
#

i mean because of how IRC communities work you couldn't be a SUPER dickhead

#

because you had to play with those same people all the time

rough sapphire
#

True, but even then it was at least good fun to talk smack

gentle moss
#

yeah, was friendly ribbing

rough sapphire
#

Now it's just i fk ur mum HEHE. It's next level sad

#

Unless you play in like the super high leagues

#

and I miss games with actually good graphics

#

..Wait what? ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

uhh my discord must've been a bit far up

#

Haha, on that topic I think graphics are greater than ever these days

#

idk man

#

a lot of games I see still have horrible graphics

#

I even think some of the classic games deserve a remake with the new graphics available

#

good graphic fps games are ๐Ÿ‘Œ

#

and im not even into fishing

#

Hehe

#

I spent a lot of time just looking around in Witcher 3, the game is a few years old now tho

#

Same goes for Skyrim, you can mod that game VERY well

#

I Spent a lot of time fishing in that game because I just liked the graphics ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘Œ

#

Sounds relaxing indeed ๐Ÿ˜„

gentle moss
#

i've already played it

#

spent a good two hours drinking beer and virtual fishing

#

reminded me of when i used to spend shit loads of time fishing in WoW

#

FPS games went through a "brown" period

#

where everything was kinda gears of war-ish

#

no real colour palette

tame terrace
#

but did you drink virtual beer

gentle moss
#

i did not

tame terrace
#

what the fuck, dude.

gentle moss
#

that'd add a new dimension to the game

tame terrace
#

I thought it said "highly realistic"

#

if they don't have beer physics, I call bullshit

gentle moss
#

sit in a chair while drinking beer while virtually sitting in a chair virtually fishing drinking virtual beer getting virtually drunk

#

getting virtually drunk would raise your chances of a virtual fishing accident

#

they should add sea fishing with boats

#

then you can basically recreate jaws

tame terrace
#

also this user review of the fishing game is weird

rough sapphire
#

LOL

gentle moss
#

what the fuck

sand goblet
#

I appreciate that steam has a "funny" rating button for reviews

rough sapphire
#

There are for sure some great reviews out there ๐Ÿ˜‚

vestal briar

Yep

gentle moss

noooooice

#

making stock?

sand goblet
#

No, making onions

gentle moss
#

:D

sand goblet
#

It's all in there aside from some balsamic and sugar

#

Got my kilner all ready to go

gentle moss
#

so it's not a soup?

sand goblet
#

It is onions destined for burger topping

gentle moss
#

ooooh nice

#

sloppy burger onions are the best

sand goblet
#

Haha

#

These will be caramelised, hopefully

#

I did it before but they were too fatty so I refined a bit

#

I think the rosemary will add a nice touch, although obviously I'll be removing it later

gentle moss
#

caramelised onions is a fine line between burnt and fine

sand goblet
#

Yep

#

It's doable though

gentle moss
#

just keep stirrin' just keep stirrin

sand goblet
#

Nah, low and slow

#

Slower you slut

gentle moss
#

i'm doing rib eye with garlic buttered portobello mushroom asparagus and mash

#

gonna be lit

#

and salad.

sand goblet
#

We have those badass gastro chips, smokey tomato sauce, pickles, coleslaw, and smokey bbq buns

gentle moss
#

oooh

#

fat fuck chips?

sand goblet
#

Yeees

#

Cooked in I believe goose fat

gentle moss
#

nice

sand goblet
#

Also a pile of crisped up bacon

gentle moss
#

by pickles do you mean shitty weak soggy american style pickles

sand goblet
#

I just finished that

gentle moss
#

or do you mean gherkins

sand goblet
#

I can only get pickles sliced lengthwise here

gentle moss
#

pish

wet steppe
#

is gdude american

gentle moss
#

no he's irish

sand goblet
#

No I'm English

gentle moss
#

shut up you traitor

#

ยฌ_ยฌ

#

the pickles they put in my burger in america were fucking weird

sand goblet
#

Expat life

wet steppe
#

thats a lot of onion

gentle moss
#

i usually hate gherkins tbh

#

like i'll take them out the burger

#

but i like the flavour they impart

#

i like a gherkin rubbed on my meat

#

is what i'm saying

wet steppe
#

gherkin in mcdonalds burger is good

#

whopper

sand goblet
#

It's 6 onions

gentle moss
#

i do keyhole surgery to remove the gherkins from McDonald's burgers

#

since i can't eat it with bread anyway

wet steppe
#

if you order it without bread what happens

gentle moss
#

use the knife and fork to precisely remove them like some sort of brain doctor

#

it comes without bread

#

in a tray

#

with a knife and fork

wet steppe
#

ah okay

sand goblet
#

Looks like a small jar, right?

wet steppe
#

why a jar ๐Ÿ‘€

sand goblet
#

Because I can seal it easily and keep it in the fridge

#

We aren't gonna use it all at once

wet steppe
#

eat it all

#

become onion man

sand goblet
#

We aren't even gonna use it today

wet steppe
#

DC Cinematic Universe needs more heroes

#

onion man will have to do

sand goblet
#

I ain't joining them

sand goblet
#

Man, Freddy really let himself go

#

The rosemary in this is fresh by the way

#

So fresh it was mooing this morning

#

Naw, but we did grow it

wet steppe
#

@rough sapphire pls delete

sand goblet
#

@rough sapphire how fucking old are you, dude?

rough sapphire
#

LOL

#

16, I had it saved on my laptop along random stuff

sand goblet
#

That sounds like a high estimate

rough sapphire
#

I do have quite a few good memes

sand goblet
#

It's a shame you never post them

wet steppe
#

that cowboy is great

#

I hate Scooby Doo

#

too hard

sand goblet
#

I never played a scooby game

rough sapphire
#

seems fun

sand goblet
#

Another waste of time

wet steppe
#

have you seen emojicode

sand goblet
#

We've all seen emojicode

#

Lol

#

Have you seen Chef?

rough sapphire
#

but guns are superior

#

nope

wet steppe
#

the funny part of emojicode is that its actually a really good language
strong static types
can do functional programming
has generic types (unlike golang)

#

it has things that some legit languages don't have

wet steppe
#

wow chef is cool

#

I will never understand those who defend Golang having no generics

#

its weird

sand goblet
#

Go assumes that people that use it are unskilled programmers

#

Only the implementers are allowed to use generics

wet steppe
#

pretty ironic since Google is full of skilled programmers ๐Ÿ˜›

#

they could have trusted them

#

hmm actually I do kinda agree with their idea, of making the language simple to learn

sand goblet
#

I don't

#

They also don't like syntax highlighting

wet steppe
gentle moss
#

that's how my food comes sometimes though

#

like they don't even bother to put the onions / ketchup / mustard under the cheese

wet steppe
#

O God

rough sapphire
#

I would throw that in their face

#

What the heck is that even, you paid for that?

gentle moss
#

yeah but i took it home and rebuilt it into a real burger

#

that's an example of it done proper

#

two quarter pounders cheese face down

rough sapphire
#

Geez.. I don't expect much from fast food places, but that was bad

wet steppe
#

wow awesome

#

this curly fry goes on forever and ever

rough sapphire
#

Yeah, those two last pictures are nutty, real nice!

gentle moss
#

it does

#

it was like a slinky

#

really hard to dip

#

i don't really take pictures of my mcdonald's food when they do it properly

#

there you go, after gherkin keyhole surgery

wet steppe
#

i thought you remove the gherkins

gentle moss
#

i believe i took that picture when i wasn't eating mcdonald's with my gf and taunting her that she wouldn't get the gherkins

#

here's a picture of where they put cheese down first

#

and the cardboard stuck to it

rough sapphire
#

Speechless

gentle moss
#

i got a free voucher when i complained about that

#

woot

sand goblet
#

I got proscutio and parmesan crisps

#

Oh man, so good

gentle moss
#

oh my

#

i thought the pan was deeper than it is

#

prosciutto and parmesan crisps

#

these are just any crisps

#

these are posh wanker crisps

sand goblet
#

Haha, yeah, m&s

wet steppe
#

gdude ate 90% of the pan ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

tame terrace
#

when introduced to heat, 90% of the onion ceases to exist. with spinach it's 98%.

gentle moss
#

it becomes ghosts

#

ghosts in the kitchen

#

that's why they smell so much

wet steppe
#

I prefer my theory of "gdude ate it all"

gentle moss
#

you're smelling ghosts

tame terrace
#

I think it's because all the empty space in the onion atoms evaporates and you're just left with the subatomic particles.

rough sapphire
#

Food is interesting!

tame terrace
#

please don't talk about thanos, or thanos' butt.

viral parrot
#

its an actual running joke in the MCU community lemon.

wet steppe
#

okay

gentle moss
#

i thought the running joke was that thanos must have huge purple onion balls

tame terrace
#

yes but since I haven't seen more than like one and a half avengers movies, I am the butt of that butt-joke.

gentle moss
#

and a literal eggplant

#

(cause he's purple)

tame terrace
#

he's PURPLE?

viral parrot
#

oh... snap...

#

see what i did there ๐Ÿ˜„

tame terrace
#

stop spoiling avengers movies for me!

#

now I'm gonna watch the first avengers movie with thanos in it and be like "this movie sucks when you watch it knowing that Thanos will be purple"

gentle moss
#

:D

viral parrot
#

good point lemon..

gentle moss
#

i just spoiled like

#

23 movies

wet steppe
#

ironically the villain Purple Man from Jessica Jones is not purple

gentle moss
#

are they up to 23 now?

tame terrace
#

23 avengers movies?

#

yes.

#

there's at least that.

wet steppe
viral parrot
#

22 movies so far

tame terrace
#

he's got purple shit on.

#

it's good enough

gentle moss
#

whatdafuck

#

22 movies is too many movies

#

i was guessing with 23

#

what if you could the blade movies and shit

viral parrot
#

the new spider man is part of phase 3, so 23 in a few weeks

tame terrace
#

me and soaf are doing an MCU watchthrough now just because people won't shut up about endgame.

viral parrot
#

MCU does not include all marvel movies bisk

gentle moss
#

people never shut up about anything

tame terrace
#

that's not true

#

people have been shutting up about beardfist more or less since we started it

plucky ridge
#

It's pretty much just the movies since Disney took over, right?

gentle moss
#

no

#

early Iron Man and shit count

viral parrot
#

no, its movies since Iron Man from 2008

plucky ridge
#

Ah, forgot that was pre-Disney

#

I just assume they own everything

tame terrace
#

they do

plucky ridge
#

But not Python

sand goblet
#

How do you know

#

I'm sure Disney has charity status somehow

plucky ridge
#

UMMMMM, because Mickey is a mouse and not a snake

#

obvs

wet steppe
#

I wouldn't be suprised if Disney released a programming language

#

or at least a web framework

viral parrot
#

if only disney lucasarts did the same thing as disney marvel

plucky ridge
#

Yeah fair point, but I doubt Disney would spend donation money on a programming language foundation

viral parrot
#

rip episode 8

plucky ridge
#

Wouldn't help their image as much as other charities

#

I just be a cynic, though

gentle moss
#

Lucas said he regretted selling Star Wars to "white slavers"

viral parrot
#

Im sure he did not say that

tame terrace
#

wow.

wet steppe
#

it says Disney are looking for this Hands on experience in technologies including Angular/Node/React, Java/J2EE, No-SQL, Graph databases and Mobile development platforms

plucky ridge
#

I note the lack of snek

tame terrace
#

@viral parrot it looks like he did

viral parrot
#

TIL i guess

sand goblet
gentle moss
#

yeah

#

i know right

#

disney? white slavers?

#

pssshhht

plucky ridge
#

Now if they were Bothan slavers....

tame terrace
#

seems pretty clear that his sentiment was that he sold his kids into slavery

gentle moss
#

yeah

#

like he originally was like "oh yeah this is fine they'll do a great job"

tame terrace
#

like.. now they have to make 2000 movies instead of living comfortable lives in perpetual retirement

gentle moss
#

then shortly after

#

"WHITE SLAVERS"

#

$4bn makes people a bit weak at the knees i guess

tame terrace
#

he gave that money away

#

did he not?

#

I think it's pretty badass for a 70 year old dude to just say "okay fuck it, before I go out I'm gonna sell the most valuable thing I own and give the money to a good cause". especially when that thing is the star wars trademark and is worth billions.

#

I imagine his kids may have been a bit miffed, but then again, I doubt they're living in cardboard boxes either.

gentle moss
#

oh nice

#

i didn't realise he didn't pocket it

sand goblet
#

I doubt a single person would be able to figure out how to spend all that lol

gentle moss
#

private island

#

battle royale

tame terrace
#

would probably be pretty expensive to buy a real battle royale

gentle moss
#

buy sealand or w/e it was

wet steppe
#

there are 9 figure boats out there

tame terrace
#

like.. get permission for all the murders or whatever

sand goblet
#

Haha

#

Bribe the world

#

Maybe the guns could be like, darts with a sleeping agent instead

tame terrace
#

no gdude

gentle moss
#

well, how much does it cost to own your own country

tame terrace
#

you could do that with 4 million

#

this is 4 billion

sand goblet
#

Good point

tame terrace
#

three commas, gdude

sand goblet
#

Maybe we could buy Luxembourg and make it not shit

gentle moss
#

buy like, the world supply of a commodity

#

and jack up the price

tame terrace
gentle moss
#

like chocolate

wet steppe
#

bisk that's super illegal lol

gentle moss
#

pffft

#

who cares

#

by that point i'm in a country with no extradition treaty

tame terrace
#

you can't just do whatever just because you have a country

gentle moss
#

i think you can

#

eyes DPRK

sand goblet
#

You can if you also have an army and bombs

tame terrace
#

even north korea needs to do what china and russia tells them to.

#

china could cut the power at any time

gentle moss
#

that's only because he's not good at sim city

wet steppe
#

DPRK only exists because of a weird situation with cold war proxy war

sand goblet
#

I'd say he's really good at Sim City

gentle moss
#

nah, the ticker at the bottom disagrees

#

but i guess he switched that off

sand goblet
#

He's still in power

#

Haha

gentle moss
#

:D

sand goblet
#

Must be some money going on

gentle moss
#

he did some sneaky things to get money though

sand goblet
#

Is he playing with cheats

gentle moss
#

like forging dollars using high quality state level printing equipment and then laundering them through US casinos

#

or making 99% pure crystal meth and selling it internationally

#

China didn't like that

sand goblet
#

Figures

Ok then

@sand goblet

No idea what's going on here

"Had a strawberry milkshake thrown over me by some I dunno, I'd say some Muslim supporter of course. I'm going to Nandos"

what a cock

#

"Standing MEP candidate tries to beat the shit out of guy who threw milkshake at him" ๐Ÿค”

gentle moss
#

hah, he needed to get a police escort out of Warrington because too many people who think he's a prick showed up to protest him.

people just keep putting food on bad people!

@lone otter makes me want to get good at vim now

lone otter

๐Ÿ‘€

#

what makes you say that

#

oh KITE

wooden kindle
#

Kite!

lone otter
#

yeeee

wooden kindle
#

Though I don't think I'm ready for a full dive. The plugin for vscode is good enough xd

wet steppe
#

what is kite

lone otter
summer rampart
#

I personally don't trust kite

wet steppe
#

it doesn't work with Emacs ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

lone otter
#

Yeah I understand why a lot of people distrust kite

#

For good reason

wet steppe
#

why?

#

I don't understand ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

is it because Kite might be a virus?

wet steppe
#

wow thanks

#

nice drama

lone otter
#

ye

vestal briar
#

Ok this is cool

#

It just assignes all the rest of the values automatically with x: user1.x

#

(Rust structs)

summer rampart
#

yeap, and if you're creating a struct dynamically using a function, and the function parameters are the same as the field names in the struct you can skip the assignment

#

(from #career-advice) @dry zenith I think a big problem with that whole system is how much of a minefield it is to navigate tbh

#

I always found it interesting that these systems are put in place in order to "promote diversity", but that they often end up discriminating against other groups in the process

#

and I've never seen hard evidence to suggest that they actually solve a real problem

dry zenith
#

yes, affirmative action is hypocritical

#

but it is the world you get, either change it or put up with it

sand goblet
#

That's easy for you to say

#

:P

#

I mean, look at my profile image

dry zenith
#

there's not really any other options

sand goblet
#

you think people will listen to me?

dry zenith
#

making noise about it on a discord channel to internet randoms won't do anything

sand goblet
#

they already don't

#

haha, of course

#

It still warrants discussion though I think

#

I mean, even just because it's an interesting topic

dry zenith
#

i have discussed it up and down over the years, I don't think any further discussion would add anything at least to my worldview

sand goblet
#

I would like to do something but I recognise that in doing so I risk my family and my career

#

so instead I'm building a company - which, if it gets off the ground, will attempt to address those problems by policy

dry zenith
#

i hand out the same test to all candidates and reject all candidates if they don't score above threshold. That's as equality as I'm gonna get

sand goblet
#

Yeah, I get what you're saying

#

I miss the days where GitHub promoted meritocracy lol

#

we didn't have giant threads on GitHub issues trying to find a racial problem when pull requests got denied for simple reasons

gentle moss
#
President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke Friday and both agreed "there was no collusion" between Moscow and Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said.```
#

damn, that's a relief

#

hey @sand goblet

#

do you have a spice rack?

sand goblet
#

Oh boy

#

One second

#

@gentle moss

gentle moss
#

WOAH

#

awwww heck yes

rare lotus
#

MATE

#

THATS TOTALLY COOL

sand goblet
#

Man I can't wait until our new Internet goes in on Wednesday

rare lotus
#

AND USEFUL

sand goblet
#

It's useful as heck

gentle moss
#

right by the cooker too

sand goblet
#

Yep!

gentle moss
#

my cupboard by the cooker is getting mad

sand goblet
#

I used to have a cupboard like that

#

Maybe I still have a photo..

gentle moss
#

spend like 5 minutes trying to find one specific thing

#

i've been debating buying a spice rack for the better part of a year

#

but i keep talking myself out of it

rare lotus
#

do u actually use those spices

#

pheh

gentle moss
#

yes

#

i'd say 80% of that cupboard gets used

#

the other 20% is stuff i got for like some specific dishes

sand goblet
#

I don't but I have one of how it looks now

#

So I'll spend 5 minutes uploading that so you can imagine how it looked when it was full

rare lotus
#

but are ur knife skills on point?

gentle moss
#

yes

#

i am cook good

rare lotus
#

do u use garlic and onions much?

gentle moss
#

all the time

rare lotus
#

ok ur good cook

#

but dont over extend with spices tbh

#

most of them are like , you think they are gonna add alot of taste

#

but they wont

sand goblet
#

Bisk and myself both have cooking-related otnames

gentle moss
#

sand goblet
#

So imagine this but like completely full to the back

#

Haha

rare lotus
#

gentle moss
#

seabass with a tomato / red pepper / onion / asparagus med style stew

#

heavily reduce the stew it goes super duper sweet

#

very very tasty

#

rare lotus
#

have u tried goulash?

gentle moss
#

i have no tried to make a goulash, no

rare lotus
#

its good u should try

gentle moss
#

but i make a mean beef stew / chili con carne

rare lotus
#

one thing i dont like cooking is lasagnas.

#

like i dont think its worth cooking a lasagna ;P

sand goblet
rare lotus
#

oh my

sand goblet
#

This is for some badass burgers tonight

gentle moss
#

i forgot to take a photo of the steak i made last night

#

steak with garlic butter portobello mushrooms, asparagus and creamy garlic mash potato

sand goblet
#

Sounds good

rare lotus
#

mash potato?

#

mmm

gentle moss
#

yeah, mash potato and steak is nice

rare lotus
#

idk

#

that doesnt fit for me tbh

gentle moss
#

you're wrong then :D

sand goblet
#

Takes skill to do a good mash

gentle moss
#

i do a brilliant mash potato

#

all of beardfist agree

rare lotus
#

my mom does brilliant ones

sand goblet
#

We have a.. Moulih? That how you spell it?

rare lotus
#

but i dont really like mashed potatoes anyway

#

i like potatoes cooked simply.

gentle moss
#

potato is the best vegetable

sand goblet
#

Moulin?

#

It's like a metal container with holes at the bottom

gentle moss
#

oh, like a ricer

sand goblet
#

You put the potatoes in it and close it and push the thing down

#

Yeah

gentle moss
#

i'm not a fan of them

sand goblet
#

Works great for us

gentle moss
#

they are good if you want a specific grain of mash though

rare lotus
#

i just use a mixer

gentle moss
#

WHAT

rare lotus
#

xDDD

#

well

#

my mom

sand goblet
#

Ehhh not worth cleaning it

gentle moss
#

๐Ÿšจ POTATO POLICE ๐Ÿšจ

rare lotus
#

what do u use

#

expert

gentle moss
#

i use a hand masher

sand goblet
#

I hate cleaning blenders

rare lotus
#

yeah

sand goblet
#

/mixers

gentle moss
#

this is another steak dish i did a few weeks back

rare lotus
#

mmm

#

good looking but alot of juice on the plate

#

i like my plate cleaner

#

if a food tastes good, but makes a big mess I dont like it anyway

sand goblet
#

That's garlic butter

#

Man you'd hate some of the stuff I cook

gentle moss
#

it's a SHITLOAD of garlic butter

#

and it's SO GOOD

rare lotus
#

i just dont like making mess all over the place

#

especially not getting oil on my fingers

#

one of the reasons i dont eat chicken wings

sand goblet
#

Toad in the hole, bitches

#

Proof that function over form wins every time

rare lotus
#

whats that

#

looks good tbh

gentle moss
#

pastry and sausage n shit

#

shit being onions

rare lotus
#

lmao

sand goblet
#

It's like uhh

#

Have you ever had Yorkshire pudding?

rare lotus
#

nah

sand goblet
#

Well fix that

#

And then understand that this is sausages and onions in the same kind of batter

rare lotus
#

(i literally eat chicken and rice almost every single day)

gentle moss
rare lotus
#

chicken breast + rice, pasta, hamburgers, chicken curry + rice

gentle moss
#

that's my seabass with stew + bread thing

rare lotus
#

this is my diet

sand goblet
#

You need a better diet

#

That diet is boring

rare lotus
#

Dont u think u put alot of bread there bisk?

#

gdude idk man

#

sometimes im too lazy to cook

#

and idk what to cook really

sand goblet
#

Cook on the weekend and freeze it

gentle moss
#

no, there's a SHITLOAD of stew there

#

that's just enough bread

#

:D

#

plus that's like 250grams of fish too

#

i want fish now, damn it

rare lotus
#

idk

#

looks too much bread to me

#

as much bread needed to feed an overweight man ๐Ÿ˜›

gentle moss
#

calling me fat? ยฌ_ยฌ

rare lotus
#

coding is like cooking

#

fml

gentle moss
#

try again :D

rare lotus
#

cant form a sentence

#

thats what my diet tells you about me

#

haha

gentle moss
#

malnourished?

#

:P

rare lotus
#

u ever make eggs?

#

I cant eat eggs

#

idk how people eat it for breakfast

gentle moss
#

i don't eat breakfast

rare lotus
#

well i could say that too

#

i get my first meal at like 2 pm

#

(most of the days)

#

rn im talking to and trying to fix my shit arch linux

gentle moss
#

did it to yourself ยฌ_ยฌ

rare lotus
#

ugh

#

u literally cant find any solution online for arch most of the times

#

u gotta progress to it yourself

gentle moss
#

it's the reason i use lubuntu

rare lotus
#

was thinking to switching to debian

gentle moss
#

ubuntu's got shit loads of support

rare lotus
#

debian buster

gentle moss
#

i don't want to have to spend ages figuring out how to fix my daily drive

rare lotus
#

^

#

was supposed to be good :C

#

Luke Smith did this to me tbh

#

he just makes u love arch linux

sand goblet
#

What's your problem? I use Arch

rare lotus
#

having trouble with compiling my c++ programs

#
gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory
sand goblet
#

Your install of base-dev is broken

#

Reinstall it

rare lotus
#

i did

sand goblet
#

How did you end up in this situation?

rare lotus
#

I literally have no idea

sand goblet
#

I mean it's not something that should ever happen

#

It's certainly never happened to me lol

#

Okay so you're missing execvp

rare lotus
#

running pacman -Fs cc1plus returns:

    usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/8.3.0/cc1plus
community/aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc 8.3.0-1

sand goblet
#

And which cc1plus gives you?

rare lotus
#

no cc1plus in ...

#

๐Ÿ˜ญ

sand goblet
#

Maybe your PATH is broken

#

Check if there's a .profile or .bashrc in your home folder

rare lotus
#

ye it's a .bashrc

sand goblet
#

So make sure you aren't overwriting it or anything

rare lotus
#

dont think so

sand goblet
#

Are you overwriting any env vars there?

rare lotus
#

nope

sand goblet
#

It really seems like it's just unable to find this library or tool, whatever it may be

gentle moss
#

wipe it and install a real distro

sand goblet
#

You're not helping

gentle moss
#

i had no intention of doing that :3

sand goblet
#

Then shut up :P

gentle moss
#

i get a sick pleasure watching people have problems with arch though

rare lotus
#

it is good, but not when u get problems ๐Ÿ˜›

sand goblet
#

What command do you use to update your packages?

rare lotus
#

pacman -Syu

sand goblet
#

And installation and removal?

rare lotus
#

pacman -S and pacman -Rs

#

xd

sand goblet
#

Yeah, standard.

#

What are you compiling?

rare lotus
#

a simple hello world program doesnt work ;P

#

so

#

its not about the code that im compiling

#

i had thoughts switching to Debian honestly

sand goblet
#

It sounds like you've managed to break your environment honestly

rare lotus
#

haha do i get a medal for that ? ;P

sand goblet
#

That's okay, it happens to all beginners honestly

gentle moss
#

i've completely bricked my python env before

sand goblet
#

Even bisk

#

Haha

rare lotus
#

ehhh dont ask me about my python env

gentle moss
#

but that was on CentOS

rare lotus
#

its like a jungle

gentle moss
#

and CentOS is a tyre fire

sand goblet
#

I advise reinstalling, perhaps with manjaro this time

#

Be more careful with your package manager, and install an aur helper like yay

#

Manjaro should provide it in the installer for you

rare lotus
#

haha i find it kinda funny like when you fuck up in arch you just get the suggestion of reinstall

#

you know

#

I might know why this shit appeared

gentle moss
#

if you break your environment badly enough on any linux distro it's way easier to just backup your data and reinstall

rare lotus
#

one day I accidentally shut down my laptop while a pacman -Syu was running

#

i had some problems that day but i managed to fix them

gentle moss
#

that'd probably do it

rare lotus
#

this problem should be from that one too

sand goblet
#

Yeah that would do it

#

Great way to break things

#

True for basically any distro

rare lotus
#

grrr

#

the thing is

#

im on i3wm

#

so i had it running in like 10th workspace

#

and i had to boot back into my windows OS

#

so i just shut down my computer forgetting i had that command running

sand goblet
#

So don't use i3wm, clearly it's too easy to forget what you have open

rare lotus
#

what do u use? ๐Ÿ˜›

sand goblet
#

Plasma

rare lotus
#

oh no

lone otter
#

Do you not have a bar showing your active workspaces?

rare lotus
#

yeah i can see which workspace is in use

#

but i guess i thought its just some random terminal and didnt pay attention

lone otter
#

nice

rare lotus
#

haha exactly

#

and you know where the problems lead back to? To windows.

#

its windows again damn it.

sand goblet
#

Plasma is great

#

I never saw the point in minimal managers like i3

#

Just like a good IDE, everything should integrate and the environment should come with everything you need

#

Qt is just a bonus

rare lotus
#

just use vim

sand goblet
#

Vim is a joke

rare lotus
#

ru serious

#

what IDE do you use

sand goblet
#

It's a bad joke, but it's a joke

#

PyCharm

#

(Pro)

rare lotus
#

havent you seen vim magic?

sand goblet
#

Yeah, and it's crap

rare lotus
#

I might agree that its not like superior to coding

sand goblet
#

There's no way to do global refactoring

rare lotus
#

but for editing text files and stuff its good

sand goblet
#

Well sure, but then I use a text editor for editing text

#

VS Code in my case

rare lotus
#

have u set TAB = 4 spaces or 8?

sand goblet
#

Four, of course

#

I do python

gentle moss
#

1 tab = 1 tab

#

duh

rare lotus
#

haha i had it on 8 by default

#

it was like cancer

#

even for c++

sand goblet
#

I actually use 2 for HTML and JS

#

Since they're often deeply nested

gentle moss
#

i think pycharm does that for me by default

sand goblet
#

That's how mine is set up anyway

rare lotus
#

html and js are allergic for me

#

for private sites i just use some static site generators

#

Jekyll saves u a couple of head aches and alot of time.

sand goblet
#

Well they're very important tools, so

#

I use them

gentle moss
#

i didn't like js but i'm getting better at it

#

the one thing i really don't get along with is css

lone otter
#

you can do global refactoring @sand goblet

#

but yeah you need a plugin for it

#

as long as you have the relevant language server (pyls, rls etc.) installed, you just need a lsp client plugin

rare lotus
#

@gentle moss u dont have to

#

i hate web dev

sand goblet
#

I don't think language servers are the correct thing to use right now

#

It's a nice idea but I don't think they're there yet

rare lotus
#

do u lint ur python code?

sand goblet
#

Of course

lone otter
#

I think they're pretty neat

gentle moss
#

to be honest i'm mostly making internal tools and stuff so having stuff look pretty isn't a major concern

#

so i just use something like bulma and make it look half okay

sand goblet
sinful copper
#

what are you making

gentle moss
#

wooooot

#

fancy burgers

#

!

#

better get a good cheese drip

#

melt, rather

#

what type of cheese you using @sand goblet?

#

not american slab i hope

sand goblet
#

Emmenthal and cheddar

gentle moss
#

oooooh

#

tasty

rare lotus
#

chuckles

#

send me a burger

gentle moss
#

last burger i made.

#

ยฌ_ยฌ

rare lotus
#

idk i suspect too much filters in this image

gentle moss
#

those aren't filters, it's a levels edit to highlight how delicious it is

#

no colour changes, just levels :3

rare lotus
#

like

#

its edited

#

not natural

sinful copper
#

most people's lighting isn't good for food photography anyway

rare lotus
#

what are those rolls in the plate ?

gentle moss
#

yeah because the lighting in here is bland

sinful copper
#

those are curly fries

gentle moss
#

yes

rare lotus
#

noice

gentle moss
#

to fix the bland lighting i do level edits to create a richer image

#

it's still faithful to how the food looks, i'm not cheating :P

sinful copper
#

(like french fries but cut with a spiral slicer and usually extra seasoned, pretty common in america, several fast food places do them)

rare lotus
#

it is cheating bisk

#

the food looks more delicious if u change the levels

#

its like if u change the levels of a grilled steak

#

its gonna look SO much better

#

than what it actually is

#

and when people try to replicate what you did, they just wont get the results ๐Ÿ˜›

#

ur food should shine on its own

gentle moss
#

uhmm...

#

not on a mobile phone camera and poor lighting conditions o_O

rare lotus
#

anyway

#

what did ur burger taste like

gentle moss
#

i could break out my DSLR every time i want to photograph my food

#

and set up my lights

rare lotus
#

Sometimes i feel like great mayo creates great taste.

gentle moss
#

i stand by my claim that the level edit isn't cheating

#

but what is cheating is that burger

#

it's 2 x McDonald's quarter pounders slammed together and shoved into bread with extra salad, mayo, burger sauce and stuff

#

:D

rare lotus
#

one thing that helps burgers is toasting the bread

#

well not like putting it into a toaster

#

just putting it on the pan/grill ur cooking ur meat

gentle moss
#

oh i just put it in a toaster but only very shortly

#

like a light toasting

rare lotus
#

idk sometimes it looks better to see some kind of burn marks

#

not actual burn marks

#

just slight

#

food isnt just about taste

#

its gotta look good too

sand goblet
#

You know it went well when everyone is too busy eating to talk

rare lotus
#

im just making some pasta

#

simple

#

ill put some tomato sauce + sour cream at end

#

nothing too fancy and its easy to make

#

now I am burning inside looking at those photos and eating this simple meal

#

๐Ÿ˜ 

gentle moss
#

cook more.

rare lotus
#

im not in the shape to cook right now

#

got lazy

#

what soup would u recommend ?

#

I was gonna cook a garlic soup but meh

gentle moss
#

butternut squash soup

#

that shit is great

rare lotus
#

u ever tried Tom Yum?

gentle moss
#

slightly peppery

#

very delicious

#

almost creamy too

#

i have tried tom yum :O

#

but a prepackaged one

rare lotus
#

๐Ÿ˜„ how was it ?

#

oh

gentle moss
#

it was still very nice

rare lotus
#

prepackaged things are nothing like the original

#

idk if u ever tried canned beans but they suck ass.

gentle moss
#

baked beans?

#

what beans?

#

loads of beans come in cans

rare lotus
#

just some black beans in a can that u boil

#

haha

gentle moss
#

yeah idk about that

#

i get 2 kinds of canned beans

rare lotus
#

i am afraid of canned foods now

#

theyre too bad

#

You tried Nasi Lemak?

gentle moss
#

nope

rare lotus
#

how come

gentle moss
#

anyway, i got distracted by maths i had to do

#

i buy 2 kinds of beans. baked beans and kidney beans for chilli

#

and i've never heard of nasi lemak

rare lotus
#

ah Yes! Kidney beans

#

thats the ones i bought

gentle moss
#

oh canned kidney beans are great for putting in a chili con carne or w/e

rare lotus
#

Watch this video and tell me u dont want some nasi lemak after it

gentle moss
#

ooooh, malaysian food

rare lotus
#

I was wondering if i am missing alot by not trying to make my own pasta

#

ive seen people make pasta by their own but it just doesnt look like the ones u buy packed

gentle moss
#

i can't eat gluten because of a disease, so loads of foods are off the table unless there's a premade gluten free alternative

rare lotus
#

oh

gentle moss
#

making gluten free bread / pasta / whatever by hand is really hard

#

so the premade versions are always better

rare lotus
#

yeah

sand goblet
#

Did someone say food photos?

rare lotus
#

ya

#

im done eating my pasta now

#

it was painful eating that and looking at those images

sand goblet
#

I can't remember what this was, Thai basil I think? It was good though

rare lotus
#

it doesnt add up as a good taste in my mind

#

not like its bad

#

but its not a perfect taste

sand goblet
#

Nothing is perfect

#

Nothing except bacon

rare lotus
#

my chicken and rice is

gentle moss
#

did someone say food photos?
