| 15:26.34 | Jademus | Been playing the various fucks out of Divinity: Origami Inns or whatever; turns out the name, while loathsome to my personal taste, isn't complete nonsense and actually bears some relevance to the game's narrative. |
| 15:27.51 | Jademus | Shades of Diablo 3, Baldur's Gate, Chrono Trigger, Wizardry (8), and other such. |

| 16:45.44 | Arcane|Work | Yes, kind of interesting what one can achieve by redefining what something means |
| 16:45.56 | goddamnit | could fake cooldowns with item charge manipulation |
| 16:45.57 | Arcane|Work | Abstraction is a powerful tool |
| 16:46.15 | goddamnit | use generic tooltip formulas to populate tooltips |

| 16:47.36 | Arcane|Work | or just effect items |
| 16:47.45 | goddamnit | ability items |
| 16:48.28 | goddamnit | hmm, maybe I should use effect items instead |
| 16:48.37 | Arcane|Work | Yes, Ability items are quite powerful, and storm SEEMS to take it to the next level, with possible behavior ability items |
| 16:49.46 | Arcane|Work | The main power of ability type items is to grant abilities with a passive (from a carry behavior on the item) and active component of an ability. |
| 16:50.22 | Arcane|Work | Effect items are similar, but obviously are much more narrow then effect/instant abilities |
| 16:50.32 | Arcane|Work | things like auto casting |
| 16:50.48 | goddamnit | don't need autocasting in turn-based systems |
| 16:50.57 | Arcane|Work | In fact... I wonder if one could make an ability be levelable on an ability item |

| 20:04.50 | JademusSreg | Live is inefficient when participants exceed ~16, useless beyond ~256. (squares for convenience, no reason to assume the human brain's social faculties should favor powers of 2.) |
| 20:06.29 | goddamnit | and live |
| 20:06.43 | goddamnit | hm, what to ask |

| 20:08.08 | goddamnit | you had better ask for resume feedback jade |
| 20:12.58 | JademusSreg | I -would- if they could answer that question. Instead, hypothetically, I'd first establish that given Hiring/HR's tacit inscrutibility, what technical & professional backgrounds they each possess, their application/recruitment experiences, and what (if any) comical mistakes they know oe otherwise suspect they made. |

| 20:18.03 | goddamnit | dont need an email to make a new one |
| 20:23.54 | JademusSreg | Recovered, new pass. |
| 20:24.05 | JademusSreg | Haha, make a new one, hilarious. |
| 20:28.44 | JademusSreg | Hm, unfortunately, I got nothing worth posting/asking. Not off the summit of my pate, anyway. |
| 20:32.07 | grim002 | ... |
| 20:33.09 | grim002 | I am investing in testing hardware so that I can debug shaders on all target platforms. |
| 20:35.18 | JademusSreg | =D |
| 20:38.09 | JademusSreg | considers the merits of dedicated hardware over virtualization; somewhat skeptical simulated hardware is practical or cost-effective, however convenient one may imagine it would be. |
| 20:41.07 | grim002 | Would be more convenient than buying another pc or two, yeah |
| 20:42.03 | JademusSreg | At least in principle, one could throw a bunch of cloud compute power at it, but in practice even getting the hardware to simulate properly is a technical feat in itself. |
| 20:51.09 | Ahli | jade, go and ask educated questions in the ama |

| 21:50.00 | Zandose | hello. i came to ask a quest qyestion. |
| 21:50.47 | Zandose | a actor w/ a model (no unit) can be moved for all players. can it be moved to different places for each player? |
| 21:51.02 | Zandose | and my spelling sucks it seems |
| 21:53.57 | ArcaneBored | Zandose: If I understand you correctly, you want the same model/actor to appear in different places for different players, correct? |

| 21:54.37 | Zandose | yes |
| 21:55.16 | ArcaneBored | Just out of curiosity, why can't we use multiple actors? |
| 21:55.36 | Zandose | i am but i wanted to know if i could use one another instead of 14 |
| 21:55.39 | goddamnit | http://forums.sc2mapster.com/resources/tutorials/19371-tutorial-trigger-data-show-hide-destroy-any-given-actor/ |
| 21:57.44 | goddamnit | what's the difference between tools engineers and engine engineers? |
| 21:57.46 | Zandose | Err: I know and do but I wanted to know if I could use one actor/model instead of 14 actor/models, one for each player. |
| 21:58.50 | Zandose | link corrected: http://www.sc2mapster.com/forums/resources/tutorials/19371-tutorial-trigger-data-show-hide-destroy-any-given-actor/ |
| 21:59.25 | Zandose | i already use show/hide but for 14 seperate actors |
| 22:00.22 | ArcaneBored | Hmm... |
| 22:00.33 | goddamnit | sure, and you can use that to send 14 different actor messages to an actor per player |
| 22:00.43 | goddamnit | *ie, mover messages |
| 22:01.58 | Zandose | yes. but cant i have 1 actor/model and send a mover message for one player only? so each player gets a different mover message for the actor/model and it would show differently for each player. |
| 22:02.28 | goddamnit | in theory yes |
| 22:02.35 | ArcaneBored | pirate/goddamnit: Engine engineer builds the core engine, the physics/AI/rendering/pathing, etc. Tools engineer are the guys who build customized stuff like whatever modifications they need for source control, to help out the build engineers, or write custom plugins for Eclipse/VS to help the editor/engine engineers. |
| 22:03.14 | ArcaneBored | Basically anything and everything to make your workflow smooth and compatible with everyone else. |
| 22:03.33 | goddamnit | ohhhh |
| 22:03.48 | goddamnit | oh, that's boring stuff :/ |
| 22:04.47 | ArcaneBored | To a degree yes, but to a degree no. It does require a lot of talking and getting feedback, and you are not creating something crazy cool. But as a small history lesson: The gold miners of the gold rush did not get rich, but the people who provided the housing and tools did. |
| 22:05.34 | ArcaneBored | Tools engineer in the physical world is the shops who build wrenches/hammers/drills/etc. |
| 22:05.44 | ArcaneBored | Not sexy, but damm necessary |
| 22:06.30 | ArcaneBored | http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2cmary/were_the_tools_engineers_behind_blizzards_heroes/cjgw559 This answer does a pretty good job of describing the job |
| 22:06.43 | goddamnit | aye |
| 22:07.28 | ArcaneBored | Also, they gave you decent answers to your questions |
| 22:07.41 | goddamnit | aye |
| 22:08.17 | ArcaneBored | I find it interesting they have a recent UCI grad, but makes sense, since UCI has a vibrant video game club and has a game design major now |
| 22:09.17 | goddamnit | he has to be some kind of savant. No programming experience pre college. And don't need quite a breadth of knowledge to be a tools engineer? |
| 22:15.53 | goddamnit | http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2cmary/were_the_tools_engineers_behind_blizzards_heroes/cjgx352 |
| 22:15.59 | goddamnit | hahah that makes me happy |
| 22:16.11 | ArcaneBored | Nah, you need passion, some expertise. As I've learned at my own internship, the ability to learn far far outweighs any previous knowledge. |
| 22:16.38 | ArcaneBored | As long as you aren't an idoit and willing to learn at all times, you can do fine. |
| 22:19.43 | ArcaneBored | Ahh, like their answer about editor feature development. Specifically, they intentionally avoid removing stuff, even if it is never used by the designers. |
| 22:20.03 | ArcaneBored | Certainly explains the host of things in the editor with no working examples. |
| 22:22.59 | ArcaneWork | Also interestingly enough, they are well aware of the documentation issues, apparently causes them as much headaches as it does us. |
