@mrmattimation Who's that?
-
@autunm @critialcloudkicker Civ 1 had a error on Ghandi. basically when you reach Democracy your aggression goes down by 2, Ghandi started with the lowest possible score of 1 (the maximum the game allowed was 10), but when Democracy happened the counter went 1->0->255, effectively looping the counter
so basically after Democracy, on a scale of 0 to 10 Ghandi was 255 of Pure Unchained NUCLEAR WRATH

Some video games have aged very well ( Chrono Trigger on the SNES for example, lets give that a 10/10 for now ). Some other games have aged terribly to the point where if you decide to play them now, they would cause you almost pain or distress ( Original Tomb Raider triology for example, lets give that a 1/10 for now )... I just saw a complete playthough of Medal of Honor Pacific Assault, and yeah, I am glad I did not actually bother to play further after mission 3 or so, that game does not have a good statisfying end at all ( it would get a 3/10 score from me ) I am glad I letsplayed the whole thing instead

@critialcloudkicker meanwhile I'm here playing dwarf fortress which I can only rate both a 1/10 and a 10/10
-
@zennx Yeah, Dwarf Fortress is like a civ-game. It goes from a 10 in your mind to a 5 as it kinda gets grindy, and then even hits 1 when Ghandi goes nuke-happy, and then you score victory, and the whole thing can begin anew.
-
@critialcloudkicker you can't win at Dwarf Fortress, either you get overrun by surface dwellers or you dig too deep and a Balrog eats your face

Did I ever mention that I abhore waiting rooms ? Even more so at the doctor's office. ... Though I can immagine that absolutely noone is fond of them.
-
@zennx Know what ? First I'll go read a book on the basics of chemistry and maybe somewhere this summer I'll put on a labcoat and do that. You know I will have absolutely catastrophically failed when you suddenly read about "Dutch wannabe scientist in lab-coat explodes half of the Netherlands"
-
@adiwan Ohyea, forgot about that and the whole Dutch "waterstofperoxidemuts" joke
-
@adiwan Which reminds me, I want to try using it to lighten my beard so that dye takes better.

I want some sort of Blue Screen of Death ( BSoD ) screensaver that needs a password to get out, only I want it to refer to the password as "credit card information"

@critialcloudkicker That would be ... something. Haha

@critialcloudkicker ....this... this is pure GOLD

Is cutting someone's neck for not stepping forward when the line moves considered excessive?
-
@scribus Not if you can get away with it

@adiwan any idea how he got a third person view of himself ? https://youtu.be/azD5t6X2urc?t=716

@critialcloudkicker I think that this is a view from another client and not from the player.
-
@adiwan I'd look into it but I do not have a Vive
-
-
I had an Occulus Rift on my head for the first time. The resolution is horrible. The motion tracking was good. They tested a method for viewing objects and discovering volumetric data only with the head-mounted display. It worked pretty well but it had some flaws but were inevitable because they had to unify the interface for all sorts of different input devices.
-
@adiwan Sounds like a devkit Rift
-
@critialcloudkicker It was a DK2 model.
-
@adiwan Yeah, 960x1080 per eye is really rather low seen as the screen is maybe max 5 CM from your eyeballs. The real product has 1080 x 1200 resolution per eye. Do I still think that is too low ? Yeah, kinda, it still gives me a fly screen feeling. However, it sure is awesome tech. Now let us pray there will be good enough games for VR eventually. and not drive it to the point where I can pick up a Rift in the second hand market for less than 100 Euro within a year. ( or a scenario where Oculus and Vive and Morpheus beat eachother up untill noone wins )

Decentralization is hard, let's bet our money in cheap centralized networks! What could possibly go wrong?
-
@hfaust I am pretty sure that if you rely only on one form of network ( or system ) you run the risk of network ( or system ) degradation to the point where what you originally put into it is no longer ( deemed ) valuable ?
Are we talking about money ? Or the time spend in an MMO like WoW ? -
@critialcloudkicker It can also be a sole vector of attack, but you can apply that to money. I don't know much about MMO I'm afraid (only the things I've saw in anime)
-
@hfaust The MMO mindset I was talking about resolves soley around "If I stop playing after putting in 1000 hours to this game, I devalue that time I put into it into nothingness".
As for "vector of attack", I think that would be way too depending on what system we are talking about ?

What a bummer. I was certainly sure that my Arduino Uno was able to send keyboard commands over the USB port but I was wrong. Only later versions (Due, Leonardo, Micro, Zero) are able to do that.

@adiwan I wanted the context of this dash to be about attempting to hack Uno the card game.
-
@critialcloudkicker If you buy Arduinos from China you can get them for a bargain price. As for projects I wanted to do: right now I'm just toying with it.
-
@thelastgherkin An Arduino Uno is a cheap micro controller. The later versions have the ability to act as human interface devices (mouse, keyboard) and I tried to do something with that. To my surprise (and lack of research) I didn't know that the Uno can't do that out-of-the-box.

@mushi I just stumbled upon it, though gamekings of all things. I like that you go to hawaii, but other than that. I did not see anything that makes me want to really go get it. Maybe they are holding out on some big thing ? I kinda hope so.
-
@critialcloudkicker well, it wasnt a mind blowing trailer like the first XY trailer, but i will still buy it anyway
-
@mushi I'll probably buy it after I finally finished X... or at least I think I own X
