@mrmattimation Well I am glad that you used the word 'real' to define a Diablo game so we can be disappointed together when it finally releases.
Unless if you are one of 'those' people who thinks that C&C Rivals was good. -
Blizzard has aparently cancelled some StarCraft FPS game and put more resources to Diablo 4 and OverWatch 2.
Meanwhile all I can think of is how reality for Blizzard now essentially became Onion-ising two of their own April fools jokes. The first of which we all know pretty much, it was Happy Reaper the mobile game. The other one is World of Starcraft.
No I have no insight to what Blizzard is doing but you think that they would be able to use some good PR after what is essentially the terrors of what the company currently goes though, and those are still in the shadows of Real-ID...
sigh, I don't know anymore, I just needed to get that off of my chest I guess.Saturday, 08-Jun-19 15:51:38 UTC from web -
Error: Can not search for a game when searching for a game.

@drinkingpony Compare them to see if they are the same ofcourse. No I do not know how to do that, I know you can though. The moment I figured it out myself I can do the thing I wanna do with my RPI
-
@adiwan I wonder if the EPS-32 has enough juice to run an imagemagic subroutine. You could wait till the PIR is triggered ( or not ) make a sequence of pictures, compare them with eachother using imagemagic, and send it away though e-mail or something.
-
@scribus Cus it is a good one ?
-
@adiwan By Celestia's beard ! Those 15 cents change everything.
Nah...
Ehmm well I guess I am thinking of something like http://rainbowdash.net/url/874626 but motion-triggered myself.
Also when something enters the room have a robot voice do "Scanning for intelligence in lifeform... Error... Subject out of expected parameters," or something -
@nerthos Imagine spotting that drinking coffee at the local starbucks or something. Just howmuch sugar would dissapear into one cup I wonder.
-
@adiwan I think I would get my dremel out and my multimeter and then...
Wait, what, 3 Euro's ? That is not even worth the price of the demel head you will probably murder with such a move. -
@adiwan Pictures ? I mean I just ripped some pads on a very cheap chinese PCB ( copper pad ) and decided to throw it in the bin of 'lost souls'

I just bought a video game on the sole basis that it had local co-op.
Turns out that it is actually what it says on the tin. Who knew. Just played 2 quick solo games to try it out before I will subject my friends to this. And that is what it is at this point, subjecting my friends to this as it a WAY more scary game than I imagined it would be, even with that name it has.
When I was playing the game alone I really did not want to come across any Xenos, they killed me anyway. The second time I was going to make em pay for what they did to me the first time. Turns out that I turn into a little girl as soon as I have low visibility and a dead battery.

I really like it, only costs me 10 dollar for a 4-pack. Probably will throw those exces keys around next LAN party.

@mrmattimation I got asked lots of times If I spoke a language I did not speak at the time, and now... pochemu ty dumayesh' ya govoryu po russki

I am having the worst sort of conversation with someone, it seems to be coming back too. All I said was that I believe that if you look at both animal behaviour and know enough about the history of humankind going back approx 1 million years, you can see how certain morals came into existance. Based on that some tribes started to begin leaving their dead in a certain way. This was far before the time that Humans started to bury their dead mind you.
That together with the idea that morals were build/based upon practicality of one form or the other ( usually what is good for the tribe, sometimes what is good for the individual )
Then someone hijacked this topic into a muddied waters by stating "And that is why I think Humans should not eat meat"
What ? ( I said ) No... Not at all. Though I guess their morals would or should put humans into thinking mass killing of animals is not ohkay.
So now I get the question if I think that humans should eat meat every day for 4 days now. :(Wednesday, 05-Jun-19 00:38:25 UTC from web -
@adiwan It does not even have RGB

Something I just found out I really like : Some angry literal Muppet talking angrily about movies and stuff
Something I just found out I grew really tired of : This same Muppet talking about Politics, even if he snarks at everything.
I'll leave a link to those interested in this here, after where this Muppet stops talking about politics and starts talking about the rest of what happened in 2018. Which mostly includes some movies ( Ready Player One ), E3, Gordon Ramsay's new show, cocaine. It's main appeal is snark for the sake of more snark, but making me laugh is it's goal, and that is why I am sharing it.

@adiwan Get a nice soldering station with a dial on it to set the target temperature, I got an Aoyue for about 35 Euro. For some reason Amazon.de is more expensive ( 47 ). Strange, normally Amazon is cheaper, even for me, with shipping costs included.
Ahwell, most important thing required for when you want to learn how to solder well or when you want to make really nice SMD, THT, Stripboarding or otherwise prevent the nightmare that comes from cold-joints and burned-joints it has to be a thermostat.
Soldering with just a pen you directly stick into the wall outlet or even a soldering gun is doable, however as I found out, you are going to have such a better experience with that thermostat dial. It's like spreading butter on your toast with a longsword, I mean, sure, you could do it, but it is not the optimal tool.
-
@adiwan Sounds like that will need you to replace your tips due to oxidation quite often.
Then again I only saw http://rainbowdash.net/url/874550 yesterday and I had to go look for it.
Then again, I just checked, and if I can get 10 Chinese Aoyue compattible tips for 7 Euro's ( I would translate it to Deutsche Mark, but I do not think Germany has those anymore ) then, why bother really, other than general love for your own tools.
4 Euro's a pop for an 'official' one I could understand, but who is to say that those are not just the same as the Chinese ones but repackaged ?
-
@adiwan Oh hey that looks neat, but I think I will make some more things for fun and education before I make something I'll connect to the internet.
Also where do you reckon I can buy the hard flux to clean my tip ? Is that even called flux ?
Something like http://rainbowdash.net/url/874549 looks really challenging ( I guess I will order one ) since the SMD capacitors might be a really good learning experience.
That or the end of my sanity.
P.S. I should not forget to buy tweezers. I thought these right here were tevlon, but one of them melted at not even 600 F -
Ooooh, so that is what they mean with "be careful not to rip the copper pads" #RIP

@drinkingpony Soo the thing at the bottom between the + and GND is aparently ... empty...
Well, here goes nothing, I thought I was missing a part. -
@adiwan Oh no, I meant a thingie like [ quickly googles ] this thing. http://rainbowdash.net/url/874545

Peanut Butter Jar Lid... Forgot a word there.
Saturday, 01-Jun-19 15:09:51 UTC from web -
@adiwan No worries, I just pulled a joke out of that phraise where in its original intent there was none.
I've been looking at a peanutbutter jar and thought "Hey, if I jury rig the face place way from its original design I can probably fit this DIY solder clock in there.
Should I attempt just that ? -
@adiwan Inhaling Pb ? That stuff does not boil untill 2022 Kelvin.
But yeah, I guess you are right. Also to remedy the problem of not being able to touch the things I soldered, I guess I should also should learn how to build an acrylic case.
That or a 3D printer.
Or a laser-cutter. -
To hobby solder with solder that has lead ( Pb ) in it. Or do I make it all about 15 degrees of hell hotter and go lead-less, try to learn to solder with what is essentially almost pure tin using flux that could pose equal if not greater health risks. Why are there no simple answers ?
-
@scribus 19 minutes untill I say that it is not gonna fit.
-
@scribus That was way too a cerebral comment for me to comprehend. I had to stop doing what I was doing for at least a minute and stare at the words until they made sense to me.
-
@scribus Whenever I see a payphone I go "Oh hey, look, a relic of the past that they forgot to take down for some reason"
Then I joke to someone to take a selfie with the thing and call him an old man for the rest of the day since he knew what a payphone was. -
@adiwan [ mostly in a relatable way. ]
Now I know that is a feeling, and I could never tell you that you are wrong. But things like Gravity Falls and MLP feel more relatable to me than BB. Not in that I actually come into contact with magic on the daily ( I should fix that ) but I would save my sibling from vampires or get all exited when I get one of my friends involved with one of my hobbies to the point where I forego my normal silent and reserved demeanor ( That is a long way around to get to scratch my back, but I hope you get what I mean... Fluttershy and Tank, I am thinking about that thing ). The motivations seem to remain stable and similar enough where I am able to crawl in their mindset.
Meanwhile in BB, let us say that the characters are indeed deeper to the point where the other two pale in comparison. Then you run into the trouble of never ever being able to show us enough of their actual personalities to make enough connections for relatablility, and that takes me out.
