01:38.59Stanzillaapart from the spelling
01:39.49Semlari'm assuming he got it working
01:40.12Semlari might have to help with cropping
01:41.42Semlarsince i didn't write the function to take additional texture coordinates into account
01:43.14znfStanzilla, I haz a sad
01:43.19znfI just found out they cancelled Defiance
01:43.20znf:-(
01:44.14Stanzillawot

19:50.16znfwhen did "system and compressed memory" showed up in Win10? O.o
19:51.44FiskerSince they introduced compressed memory znf
19:57.37nevcairiel(with 1511)
19:58.16FiskerDarn nevcairiel
19:59.25znfwhy did they introduce compressed memory?
19:59.47FiskerWhy didn't they znf?
20:00.07FiskerLikely because it's easy peasy and has little to no impact on performance?
20:04.42Funkeh`To make shitty tablets viable
20:05.34Funkeh`Though it's odd that it doesn't have some kind of RAM cutoff to only activate under X amount of RAM
20:06.42Fiskerwow OK Funkeh`
20:07.11Funkeh`is it ok?

20:29.10Semlarthere's no way compression doesn't have an impact on performance
20:30.29Semlarhave you ever tried to use a compressed hard drive
20:31.47Kalrothdepending on the type of data, compression can increase the speed!
20:34.39Semlarisn't this just adding cpu overhead to save memory?
20:35.19Kalrothno, it's only used for cached files
20:35.41Kalrothin which case unpacking the file from memory will always be faster
20:35.48Kalrothit's not compressing active memory

20:38.49Semlari see
22:14.13Stanzillahttps://twitter.com/pcgamer/status/698992818635804674
22:14.15Stanzillarip gaem
22:15.47nevcairielits also windows 10 exclusive since its DX12 only
22:15.48nevcairielso shrug
22:18.34Stanzillawindows store is just a shit platform
22:31.40GnarfozSemlar: compressed data in RAM and on HDD are very different ^^ (and yes, of course it uses CPU, but most of the time you have plenty of that to spare -- and there's very fast compression algorithms around, too)
22:32.25nevcairielcompression on HDD also shouldnt really make it slower, even faster, since HDDs are so slow to read/write that the CPU should be plenty fast to decompress faster than a HDD can read
22:33.04Semlarit's quite a lot slower to access files
22:33.08znfwhat's a quantum break?
22:33.43nevcairielthe problem is probably with random access into files, since compression requires bigger blocks to compress and you cant just randomly access into the middle so easily
22:34.14Gnarfozfiles? why are you talking about files
22:34.21Gnarfozit's about stuff already in RAM
22:34.24Semlarbecause i'm talking about hard drives
22:34.39Gnarfozthen you moved the topic
22:34.40Gnarfozk
22:35.02Semlarwhat
22:35.24Gnarfozznf asked about compressed memory, you replied with "no performance impact? impossible, since HDD"
22:35.54Gnarfoz(also, our compressed-data database would like to disagree it's slower on HDDs, too. what nevcairiel says certainly applies there. it's TONS faster)
22:36.15Semlaruh huh
22:36.32nevcairielcompression can certainly help performance in various ways, usually when it can help to overcome bottlenecks of some sort, be it bus bandwidth or read/write speed
22:36.41GnarfozI doubt they use LZMA2 with huge block sizes for these applications
22:36.42nevcairielalthough memory page compression is for space
22:37.12Semlartry gaming on a hard drive with compression enabled
22:37.17Semlarsee what your load times are like
22:37.29nevcairielie. your GPU compresses textures before loading them through the memory bus to get more overall throughput
22:37.45nevcairielany compression needs to match the use-case
22:37.58nevcairielordinary HDD compression is only good for plain storage, sequential access
22:38.06nevcairielit will be slow with random access
22:39.08znfhttps://altered-time.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2347&p=21081#p21081
22:39.09znfcool
22:39.22Semlarworking as intended
22:40.07znfbah, my Kodi is crashing randomly while I watch episodes
22:40.07nevcairielI would think znf would rather complain that his trinkets will no longer proc reliably on pull =p
22:40.16Semlarhttp://www.wowhead.com/bluetracker?topic=9573547577 it's like right in this first post
22:40.34znfnevcairiel, I don't really care anymore
22:40.38znfI doubt I'll play in Legion
22:42.19SemlarStarting a raid encounter will set every RPPM proc’s “time since last proc” to 90 seconds. That means the more frequent procs will still be more or less guaranteed to go off, but the rarer (and more powerful) procs will just have a high chance.
22:42.37nevcairielSemlar: the bug isnt that it has a high  chance to proc on pull, but that it doesnt reset its "time since last proc attempt" until it first procced
22:42.52nevcairielwhile it should reset it everytime you cast a spell that would trigger it
22:43.14nevcairielwhich inflates the chance even further
22:43.43Semlarwhy would it reset before it procs
22:43.53nevcairielbecause it has two variables to control the proc rate
22:44.02nevcairieloen "time since last proc", and one "time since last proc attempt"
22:44.03znfWhy is my Kodi crashing?! :-(
22:44.17nevcairielthe second exists to compensate for cast time and haste
22:44.35nevcairielif you have 1s spammable spells you shouldnt get a faster proc than someone with 3s cast spells
22:45.07nevcairielread the thread, it explains how it works =p
22:45.34Semlari can't read that many words
22:46.26Semlarbut it sounded like they were complaining that there was an almost guaranteed chance to proc your trinket at the start of a fight
22:46.39nevcairielwell they are
22:46.46Semlarbut that's how it's supposed to work
22:46.47nevcairielbecause the chance is much higher than it should be due to a bug
22:46.50nevcairielnot really
22:46.59nevcairielyour post even says so
22:47.05znfthey should remove trinkets from the game
22:47.12Semlarthe part i quoted literally says it's almost guaranteed to proc
22:47.28Semlarsomething with a 90 second cooldown on the first attack
22:47.38nevcairielfor frequent procs yes
22:47.47Semlarwhat trinkets even proc less often than that
22:47.48nevcairielbut right now all trinkets literally proc within the first 5 seconds
22:48.08nevcairielbecause it doesnt reset the chance after the first cast
22:48.49nevcairielin any case, in legion they are removing the chance boost on pull entirely
22:48.58Semlari'm more concerned about the fact that they've been releasing trinkets that don't scale for things like challenge modes which have made them a joke
22:49.10Semlarwith people literally one shotting bosses
22:49.16nevcairiellike which
22:49.31Semlarsomeone just did grimrail in 2.5 minutes
22:49.38znfow man
22:49.43nevcairielgrimrail is a pretty fast instance
22:49.44znfI never did challenge modes :-S
22:49.47Semlarit's not that fast
22:49.59Semlarthey fucked up the gear scaling
22:50.20nevcairielwhich trinkets are supposed to be broke then
22:51.09Semlarwhatever the one is called that lets you charge a bunch of damage and release it all at once
22:51.15Semlarthat's one
22:51.28nevcairielthat one doesnt really have to scale
22:51.33nevcairielsince its based on the damage you do
22:51.35nevcairieland you scale
22:51.58Semlari'm pretty sure a monk one shot the first boss with touch of death, so presumably there's something that inflated his health
22:52.30Semlari'd have to go back and watch the video to see what else they exploited
22:53.12nevcairielon some bosses its insanely strong to reflect some spells back at them
22:53.15Semlarhttps://youtu.be/_hP8Lx0DsXQ 2:58 sorry
22:54.26Semlarhonestly i have no idea how they killed the first boss, it was probably the trinket proc
22:55.22Semlarfrom aoeing the group
22:57.04Semlarthey instantly killed the second boss too
22:57.06nevcairielthat doesnt sound broken, just cleverly d one, they did wipe to get that done
22:57.34Semlarthe cannon just goes from like 95% to dead and the encounter despawns
22:57.58Semlaryes, this is all working as intended
22:58.22Semlari don't know if you ever tried the challenge modes before the latest raid was released but they were somewhat difficult
22:58.34Semlarrather than a complete joke
22:58.37Gnarfozthey haven't changed
22:58.52Gnarfozpeople are just (as in MoP) are finding more and more crazy stuff to exploit
22:58.53nevcairielyou go do them like this, even with those trinkets it requires a lot of training
22:59.37Semlari'm not saying this doesn't take planning, but you never could have done this without the gear
22:59.48Gnarfozalso, that video is madness, I have no idea what is going on and I just recently did all the CMs (in regular boring-old mode without any particular exploits, so mostly within a couple of seconds of the gold limit)
22:59.52Semlarwhich completely defeats the purpose of scaling in challenge modes
22:59.54Gnarfozwithout which gear?
23:00.15Gnarfozand what scaling? isn't your gear scaled down
23:00.17znffuckin' Romanian post office
23:00.27nevcairielfinding the best gear for challenge modes without just out-gearing it based on ilvl is part of the challenge
23:00.36Gnarfozi.e. if anything, you can pick how much of stat X you want relative to the others, but you can't get *more* in total
23:00.38nevcairielbut legion will get rid of that part anyway
23:01.02Gnarfozand of course some crazy effect items, which we are probably seeing here
23:01.13znfPackages shipped from Singapore on 10th January. Gets in the country on 14th of January. Notification from the post office gets to me on 3rd of February. Just for one package. The other package I still haven't got a notification for :-/
23:01.40Semlarsoul capacitor is making every single fight trivial
23:01.51Semlarthat's one item
23:01.52nevcairielbosses are uninteresting part of CMs anyway
23:02.02nevcairielthe trash is usually far more of a challenge to get done fast
23:02.22Gnarfozyeah, rather fix how OP DKs are
23:02.28Gnarfozthat's more of an issue than anything else :P
23:02.29nevcairielyou dont need such boss one hits for gold, just for world first times, and those are full of weirdass strats anyway
23:02.51nevcairieland yeah fucking  DKs and darksim and whatnot they all have
23:04.11Semlarand i think they're reflecting some ground effect on the second boss, which blizzard always has to go and nerf in raids because they keep forgetting how much that can be exploited
23:04.30nevcairielyeah these reflect shit should just get removed
23:04.34nevcairielit messes up everything
23:05.04Semlarthey did the same thing on mythic butcher a while back because you could reflect one of his ground effects with deterrence

23:05.56Semlari think they actually took that kill away from the guild that got it that way
23:06.01nevcairielin any case, at least scaling problems will be gone with legion, which will make it so much mroe fun, I hate playing a gimped-down version of myself
23:07.17Semlarchallenge modes are always about cheesing it as much as possible, but when you have one item like the soul capacitor trinket and the mirror of the blademaster which doesn't scale down
23:07.30Semlarit kind of takes away from it
23:07.52nevcairielof course it scales
23:07.55nevcairielits not about scaling
23:07.59Semlarwhat no it doesn't
23:08.04nevcairielof course it does
23:08.10nevcairieldo you even know how soul cap works
23:08.11Semlarthe adds the mirror of the blademaster spawn aren't affected by its item level
23:08.53nevcairielits just pretty easy to use it to one-shot mobs, sicne you can collect a whole lot of damage AoEing trash and then concentrate the explosion on the boss
23:08.55Semlarsoul cap is just super exploitable because you can use it with a class with insane aoe
23:08.57nevcairielthats not a scaling problem
23:09.19nevcairielthe legendary ring would have the same effect, except that its disabled
23:14.34Semlari've love to see the legendary ring proc in CMs
23:14.53Semlarwith soul cap
23:19.54Stanzillalegendary ring proc was the worst shit they ever came up with
23:20.29nevcairielits not a proc, its a on-use!
23:20.59nevcairieland i like it
23:21.29Semlarwhat dps class has the most consistently inflatable dps
23:21.44Semlarlike if they wanted to just cheese the meters
23:22.15Semlarmage, rogue, warlock, hunter
23:23.02Semlari'm kind of leaning toward mages
23:24.44Semlari like hunters but i feel like i could do more damage as another class
23:26.22Semlarand there were only 5 hunters in my raid when i stopped playing
23:28.07Stanzillaevery class that has a cooldown that lines up with the ring
23:28.19Semlarwell i was thinking more for legion
23:28.59Semlarwhich classes are consistently able to pull the highest numbers
23:29.03nevcairielall the classes are changing, so... go with the all time favorites? =p
23:30.31Stanzillathen what you said
23:48.17znf<PROTECTED>
23:48.19znfwell, mages
23:48.34znfI don't remember an expansion that didn't have mages on top at the end of it
