I just got to know that there is a sequel to Kindergarten Cop https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kindergarten_Cop_2 Why?
Saturday, 21-May-16 13:35:15 UTC from Choqok-
@adiwan Probably because I have been wondering if there is anything innocent besides unicorns that Dolf Lundgren can turn into a movie.

@gameragodzilla If WOW is any indication, they'll do it every time sales slack.

@nerthos I didn't really. I might've played DOTA2 for 20 mins and just went lolnope quickly enough
I usually hate online games like these with no end or goals other than doing matches until the end the times. I like an actual end to my game and possibly a reasonable 100% completion.
TF2 might be pretty much the only game like this that I've played so much -
@nerthos Well that's an issue with a lot of MP only games and why I've enjoyed Splash Damage's titles over the years. They have multi stage objectives for each map so each game stays interesting
-
@coolboymew Yeah, I completely agree. I only play single player games, or online games with a campaign/quests. A game where there's no progress gets boring in just a few hours as soon as you learn the maps. I tried to get to rank 12 on heroes of the storm as at the time I played hearthstone and the background I'd get was nice, and I couldn't make it past 8 before dropping it out of boredom. Players who like that kind of games make it to 12 in two-three days.

@critialcloudkicker It's an overpowered setup in a fundamentally unbalanced competitive FPS, so it's inevitably the only setup anyone would ever use.

@ceruleanspark Isn't that called "teh meta" ?

@critialcloudkicker It's not really a meta if it only has one thing in it

Honest question that just crossed my mind. If I buy something on the Google Play Store, can I just install it on all of my current and future devices linked to the same Google account ? ( unless when mentioned in the FAQ of the app I guess, although I am not sure if they can do that )
Thursday, 19-May-16 23:02:02 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker Yep. I have things active on both if my phones without issue
-
@redenchilada Awesome. Then I just have to figure out how to actually buy stuff, probably by linking my Paypal or something. I have never done that before though, never found a need to. But this time I have the option to either pay 8 Euro ( about 2 and a half Big Macs ) or learn all about how to make a homebrew Android app play nice with a forgein ( non android ) chipset over USB. Meanwhile the same guy who has an app which does this all for me has made a "driver" ( for the lack of a better term ) which is availible for free but sort of undocumented. ... Also if it plays nice with my old Android tablet I can just tape it behind something and not have to worry about it ever again :)
Well, unless if the alarm goes off because something ( rodents, high temperature, power failure... ) threaten the server room.
I wonder if it is a sustainable solution, I'mma find out :)

Every time I try to play Civilization being a nice guy to everyone, and every time they start attacking me without provocation and I end up exterminating every other civilization.

@nerthos I do that too. Well except for that one time where I was on a snaky continent which I shared with Shaka Zulu ( and France I found out after my war-machine was already marching ), So I claimed the whole continent for my own, but that only happened like 1 playthrough of about 400 ? ... What difficulty do you play on ?
-
@critialcloudkicker I'm playing on normal since I haven't played in forever. Currently trying to see how to advance on Arabia since it's the only faction with tech and military to match my own, but has the advantage of having one entrace protected by sea and the other by mountains with two hill paths that are 1 hex wide. I'm thinking of taking over Egypt first as they share a border and are militarily weaker, so I could occupy them and march from a wider front. I can't march artillery at such a slow pace because the Arab bombers easily destroy it, and their cities are too fortified for an infantry attack without tremendous losses of my veteran units.

It's great when you are done showering, begin to dry off your head and realise you didn't rinse the shampoo out.
Wednesday, 18-May-16 16:54:09 UTC from web-
@awl you should follow my 2 step program. 1st step involves an egg timer which you set for about an hour. 2nd step is to take a shower untill the timer goes off. I guarantee that all the shampoo is never ever a problem again as long as you stick to this wonderfull program. It's fool proof
-
@awl Or when you finally realize that your hair has been so limp and grody because you've been shampooing with conditioner for a week and a half?

@zine @critialcloudkicker The website is not for the purpose of presenting a unified view. Just documenting similar ideas.

@taknamay I really like the idea of that, but I do not have the ( either raw or free ) time to read an entire essay/RD-docu right now. I will bookmark it for later, thanks ^^

@thelastgherkin In my personal headcannon both implants recombine to form a ball, and said ghost is hounted forever by a blobby, ballthing. Bonuspoints if the cause of death is a deadly dose of gamma radiation. Being haunted forever by a glowy ball of Doooooooooooooom

After looking at 8 rescue dogs and getting a puppy, who died after 2 days due to illness it got from mum, I am hoping to get guinea pigs.
-
@weerosie Inside, next to the couch overlooking the TV. I have many fond memories of giving pet-store-cracker-treats to my guinea-pig while slouching on the couch and watching cartoons. ... I do not think Dutch outside weather is really compattible with guinea-pigs if you want to pet them still. A problem which my Pigmy Rabbits did not seem to have at all. So it probably depends on the outside weather conditions a whole lot
-
@critialcloudkicker ... Ehmm, I meant the combination of weather conditions and kind/breed of animal.
-
@critialcloudkicker I'm planning on outside during the summer and inside for the winter, but to be inside in the evening for TV time. :)

Today I set a record. A record for the worst way getting up. Immagine, both having to sneeze all the time, having a 7/10 headache, and having the fire alarm go off ( evacuate the building because some dumbass tried to make toast with pieces of mail, or something ) . So yay for me I guess.

@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

@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.
