Q: How to avoid dragons?

WarfaceIt's cool to fight dragons and all but sometimes I just want to wander around and find some new places and BOOM a dragon comes from nowhere and start to follow my trails and wants to burn my arse. How can I tell him to get lost and don't get into a fight?

 
Also, 'drop zap 2'
And blind world 2 and Aqueduct
 
That's a lot. I have like 10 games. I spend most of my time on my phone here on SE. :D
Also, @Rapida done!
 
I told you I was big on mobile games.
 
@GnomeSlice I would probably play more if my phone didn't have a bug that makes it think I have no space when I have tons. >.>
 
Derp, and on of my favourites, Lock n Roll
 
4:09 AM
@John Thanks, knew the stack exchange peeps wouldn't fail me
 
@John I have 11 gb of apps. I actually have no space.
You should have it looked at.
 
@Rapida :)
 
It's probably gone up actually. I deleted all of those movies to make room for apps.
 
@GnomeSlice Fairly sure it's a problem with the phone and there's nothing I can do about it. I'm considering a custom ROM, but then I would lose everything in the transition and void my warranty. So far I've just been moving things to my SD card.
 
Have the phone serviced?
 
4:13 AM
@GnomeSlice That seems like a lot of trouble to go to, I kinda don't want to bug people. Especially since anything I really wanted could probably just go on my SD card.
 
@rapida do check that link to the 'gridlock games' app, as it's actually relevant to what you're doing
 
Also, I'm not positive it's a bug, it just feels like it filled far quicklier than it should've and the internet said it was a problem with my ROM.
 
@John and yet you said you don't really do anything on it
 
@GnomeSlice It just links me back to muffin knight. Am I missing an option?
 
@GnomeSlice Beside internet. I'm on it practically all the time.
 
4:14 AM
Shot. Must have copied the wrong link. Fuuuuu
See if you can find it. It's called 'gridlock games' and it's a bunch of board games
 
Will do
 
It's for iOS
Also, don't miss any of those games I listed.
Or else.
I should write a book.
No, probably not.
Also, solitaire, tri-towers, and words by playmesh
Alright. Goodnight.
 
@GnomeSlice I was wondering when that "4 minutes" was going to end. :P Good night.

Q: Skyrim: Hired goons are trying to kill me

I was not detected in my crimes. How did that happen? Is it part of a mission that just happened to s...

Q: What determines how much structural damage a stack does?

Jason BerkanIn order to quickly break down the defenses of an enemy town or fort, your creature stacks have the option to attack the door and the walls. Sometimes my creatures do 1 structural point of damage, while at other times they do 2. What determines how much structural damage a creature stack does?

Q: Does 'Resist Magic' affect defensive spells, like Healing? What about potions or poisons?

Q: Aside from containers in bought houses, are there other 'safe' containers which will store items permanently, and will not reset?

galacticninjaIn TES IV: Oblivion, you don't have to buy a house to have access to containers where you can safely store items, without them being reset every few in-game days. Aside from containers in bought houses, are there also similar 'safe' containers in Skyrim?

Hmmm, there is a tag
Is it really a good tag though
 
somebody put a sign outside the kitchen
"CLEAN THIS SHIT OR BUY A TICKET HOME"
(yes, it's been clogged, dirty and full of garbage for a week now or so)
I feel like bringing out the garbage myself as it's not the full responsibility of the one person that's causing this mess
but then again, when I don't use the kitchen, I store garbage in my own room.
So none of that garbage would be mine, given how long it's been since I could last cook something.

@MartinSojka Not sure why it wasn't flagged for migration to gamedev
although, well, you do have a gamedev acccount... so what were you thinking? :P
 
It's too trivial for GameDev.
I'll ask detailed questions there when we'll have the CK, but stuff like "which technology is behind (some aspect) of (some game)?" are rather not interesting for that site.
Also, I think pure gamers would be interested to know about it too - if only to "test the waters" before they decide to try modding.
 
2:30 PM
@MartinSojka If it has no place on GameDev then it has no place in the network at large I'm afraid
tbh I don't think it's really trivial
 
It's a trivia question. Same kind of as the "Does Rage use Direct3D or OpenGL?" one. Those are always "trivial", by definition. :)
Seeing as it got 1k views anyway ... it seems to at least be helpful to some people.

user15026
If I can answer a question, but it involves linking to a tutorial that tells a person how to hack their PSP device (because that's the only way to do what they want) is that an okay thing to post here? (I know it's not entirely legal to do so, which is why I want to check.)
 
Oak
@badp nice but you're missing an exclamation mark at the end, looks weird at the moment
 
@badp Because that facebook link should be changed.
I'll ask someone else.
 
@RonanForman ping David Fullerton
 
3:43 PM
@Oak I actually left out the punctutation on purpose to avoid being too exclamativy.
 
Oak
@AshleyNunn what's "legal" is a hard question to answer; especially given that different users are under different laws. We do try to avoid question which discuss things explicitly against the terms of service. Personally I don't see a link an an answer as too problematic, and I'm pretty sure the owners of this sites are okay with it, but I know some other users think otherwise
 
@AshleyNunn I think it'd be better if you just told them they have to hack their PSP to do that because of this, this and that reason, and leave it at that.
 
@AshleyNunn I think the general consensus around here is that it's okay, as long as the motives are good (as opposed to answering a "how do I play games for free" question)
 
Oak
@AshleyNunn I think you should try to post that answer while emphasizing that the linked content may void the warranty on the device.
 
If he really does want to go ahead, then he'll find out how. If your tutorial starts from a hacked PSP I see no problem linking to it
although we do not support (including the technical meaning of 'support': provide support for) pirated stuff
 
user15026
3:45 PM
@badp - so one that starts from -hacking- the PSP I shouldn't post?

@AshleyNunn I think you'd be better off simply saying "you need to hack it"
 
user15026
It makes sense - it's asking specifically how to change the browser - and from my research, to do that you have to hack the device first
 
Oak
@badp at least put a period there. But I think an exclamation mark is better
 
user15026
3:46 PM
Okay, thanks. :)
 
You run a very real risk of getting downvoted to hell etc.
 
@AshleyNunn I think it's best to answer with "You'd have to unlock your PSP, which might not be legal in your jurisdiction. Giving you advice on how to do it might be illegal as well. As such, if you already have an unlocked ('hacked') PSP, you can do it as follows ..."
 
Oak
I'm fine with also linking to a guide how to unlock it, honestly.
 
Bah. It's your hardware, you can do what you want with it. Laws to the contrary are stupid and don't deserve to be respected.

tbh I'm just trying to give advice on what the community might not downvote on sight
personally I wish you never ever needed to crack stuff open in the first place
 
Oak
3:48 PM
Well it might also get upvoted, and since one upvote equals 5 downvotes, I think it's safe enough :)
 
@Oak and 5 (?) spam flags are -100 reputation.
 
user15026
@badp Thanks for the advice. I think I might leave it, then - I haven't found enough of a well-done clear tutorial to make it worth linking to.
 
@Brant Agreed. Still, it's better to know the law before you decide to break it instead of breaking it unknowingly.
 
@AshleyNunn You could always write your own ♫
 
Oak
@badp spam penalty can be cancelled, and I'm pretty sure something like that won't get flagged as spam.
 
3:49 PM
@AshleyNunn In summary, it might be a little controversial in the sense that it could attract a downvote or two, but I'd be really shocked (and disappointed) if it got deleted or flagged or anything like that.
 
user15026
@badp I do not have those sorts of skills, to be honest - I just know how to research things online to find answers.
 
@Oak you should know anything that even barely touches grey areas will get flags and possibly spam flags.
 
Provide useful answers and you'll get upvotes, that's always how it's been.
 
@AshleyNunn You said that as if it was nothing of worth :)
 
user15026
@Brant I don't think saying "hack your PSP" is entirely a useful answer
 
3:50 PM
Most of the time, even just paraphrasing information that's already out there into something more understandable can make for a great answer
 
Well, something like "It's not possible without hacking it. Here's a link with more info..." is better than nothing.
 
Oak
@badp really? That's just wrong.
 
@Oak you've moderated this site before, right? :P
 
@badp Yeah, I have a few green checkmarks for questions about games I've never even played, I just knew how to Google a good answer. :)
 
user15026
@Brant Me too. :)
 
Oak
3:51 PM
@badp nah it was a mini-site then with like a dozen users, it doesn't count :) but seriously, if that's true, I think spam flags should be limited to users with good flag weight and that misusing flags should put a serious penalty on the flag weight

Q: What attributes identify a "cheese build" in SC2?

WaduWhat is the definition of a "cheese build", specifically with reference to standard SC2 builds? Where did the term "cheese build" originate?

 
@AshleyNunn If I had to guess (wrongly, very likely ...), I would guess it's for questions regarding the dairy industry in Dwarf Fortress and similar game ...
 
4:01 PM
is significantly different from this one?
45
Q: What exactly is a "cheese" in Starcraft 2?

TM.I seem to see commentators mention "cheese" with regards to Starcraft 2, but I'm not quite sure what they mean. If a particular build/tactic is called a "cheese", does that mean it is a considered to be uncounterable? Or does it just mean that it is considered to be a tactic that is "too easy"...

It seems to me everything the first one is asking is covered in the second
 
That question shouldn't have should it?
 
It shouldn't, indeed
 
Just checking we hadn't flopped on console tags again.
 
There's 5 questions with , I think it should be safe to remove the tag, yes?
 
user15026
Oh, I wanted to ask - when do I add console tags to a question?
 
4:05 PM
@AshleyNunn When the question you're asking pertains specifically to the console version usually
Not for console-specific games
 
Oak
@AshleyNunn take a look at the tag wikis. For instance, for XBox:
> Add the xbox-360 tag when you are asking about games exclusive to 360, or issues specific to the 360 version of a multiplatform game.
 
@AshleyNunn When the game is available for more than one platform, and yours only applies to a console version.
 
@AshleyNunn Why it's about a console (not a game on that console) or only applies to that consoles version of a game
 
@Oak We should probably remove that bit about exclusivity, we changed that part of the policy a while ago, IIRC
 
Oak
4:06 PM
@FallenAngelEyes agreed but since both have good answers, I think this calls for a merge
 
user15026
@FallenAngelEyes Makes sense! I should've checked the wikis. I keep forgetting they exist.
 
@AshleyNunn Hover! :D

I even got to write an essay on it, haha~
 
@GraceNote Really? Link!
 
I... don't publish my academic efforts online.
So, no. My essays on Kirby, Touhou, and Wild ARMs will never be read.
 
Which is a great shame. Space Stalin would sell like hot cakes.

The only Kirby game I've ever played was Kirby's Adventure (I think that was the NES one)
 
actually wasn't "cheese" the original tag?
 
I never owned it, my cousins did, but my sister and I would borrow it all the time because we liked it so much. XD
I didn't own a SNES, so I missed out on stuff after it
My friends tell me Kirby's Epic Yarn was an awesome game that is not about Kirby at all
 
@badp Not according to the rev history of these 2 SC2 questions. It may've existed elsewhere, though...
 
4:23 PM
I was about to say "You should get Nightmare in Dreamland. And then...", but I ended up rattling off a list of pretty much every Kirby game.
 
Well, I'm not getting MW3 and I'm not getting anything from Amazon ever again.
 
@ArdaXi What happened?
 
My essay was mostly focusing on Kirby as a character. It was just after Squeak Squad came out, so I had a lot of fun with the basis of Kirby's motivation, haha

@FallenAngelEyes yeah that pretty much sums up Epic Yarn. It was Kirby but not.
 
@ArdaXi It's not arriving at all?
 
4:24 PM
UPS came by when I was home, didn't ring the bell, didn't knock, just left the notice.
That was last week.
I rescheduled for Friday because I'd be home all day, they didn't show, decided to come Monday instead when I was away all day.
 
@ArdaXi Ack. But that's not Amazon's fault, is it?
 
@John It's Amazon's fault for using UPS.
 
user15026
@GraceNote Kirby's motivations?
 
@ArdaXi touché
 
And now they're rescheduling for today, they haven't been by, and that was their last attempt.
I have no way of getting to the UPS centre in time to pick it up.
So it's gone.
 
4:26 PM
@AshleyNunn Cheese cake.
 
@AshleyNunn Aye.
 
@ArdaXi What happens then?
 
Squeek squad was mouse attack right?
 
@FallenAngelEyes It's sent back to the sender.
 
@ArdaXi :( Poor poor Arda.

@ArdaXi I hate that they use UPS. I never manage to get things from them properly and then I have to go to their "customer service center" that is in the bowels of an industrial district and is only open four hours a day.
 
Seriously though, can't FAE or Ivo or someone pick it up for you?
 
@AshleyNunn Yes, and I cannot get to their 'customer service center'.
 
@John I have no car
 
user15026
@ArdaXi Thats craptacular.
 
@John I don't think so.
 
4:27 PM
@Ivo lives a decent drive from @Arda
 
@FallenAngelEyes How do you Dutch people live without cars?!?
 
Bicycles.
 
@ArdaXi Are you being sarcastic?
 
@John No
 
@John No.

Don't you like have a proper post service?
 
@ThomasMcDonald We do.
 
user30
and what's wrong with them?
 
If they used PostNL, I'd have had the package a week ago.
@ThomasMcDonald Amazon doesn't use them.
 
@FallenAngelEyes @ArdaXi I assume the Netherlands must be far flatter than the blue ridge mountains then.
 
Amazon doesn't offer shipping through them
@John We're under sea level, so yes
 
4:29 PM
@FallenAngelEyes That sounds funny. Aquatic Dutch people!
 
user15026
@ThomasMcDonald In Canada, they mostly use UPS as well, and you don't get a choice - its a crapshoot whether you will get it through UPS or CanadaPost (more often than not, though, its UPS)
 
@John If they dikes ever break, we will be
 
user30
God bless Royal Mail
 
@ThomasMcDonald They destroy packages.
Literally.
 
@FallenAngelEyes If they do, at least you have the comfort of the little boy sticking his finger in the hole.
 
4:30 PM
@ThomasMcDonald They keep sending me stuff >:(
 
user30
Not as a habit they don't
 
@John Indeed, indeed
 
I never realized how nice my mail people are. Small towns FTW!
We didn't even have an official mail truck until a few months ago.
 
Our mail people were awesome too
UPS deliveries were bleh though
 
user15026
When I lived in a small town the mail service was great for regular mail, but forget ever getting anything that involved UPS or FedEx or anything.
 
user15026
4:32 PM
They actually refused to deliver to where I lived.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Maybe that's a Dutch thing. I don't recall ever having any problems with them...
 
@John I meant when I lived in the US
 
@FallenAngelEyes Maybe I'm just lucky then. :P
 
I've never heard anything but trouble with UPS.

Q: What does the Treasure hunter skill actually do?

theoriseTreasure hunter - 50% greater chance of finding special treasure What is "special treasure" and does 50% actually make a big difference - i.e. is it 50% of 0.01% to find a special item off of a mob?

Q: Does the mage armour skill effect work with magic robes?

theorise Mage armour - "Protection spells (like Stoneflsh) are twice as strong if not wearing armour Does this count if I wear magic robes, or do I have to be completely naked?

Q: What is the proper teleport command in Skyrim?

Simon VerbekeHow does the coc command work? When I type in for example coc Whiterun, it works. But when I type in coc Dawnstar, nothing happens. Did I miss anything here? Also, how do I enter names with multiple words?

 
4:34 PM
I didn't realize UPS was that bad.
 
user15026
@ArdaXi Agreed. Most people I know have had terrible experiences (me among them).
 
user30
UPS are good
 
I've had two encounters with them, both negative.
 
I haven't had much trouble with UPS
 
I've had years of encounters with them, mostly negative, but nothing else would deliver where we lived
There wasn't DHL then and FedEx didn't go out that far
 
4:38 PM
DHL should burn for inventing DHL -> Post Office -> Me service. Adding an unnecessary extra day to my delivery, pssh. Definite -1 to UPS for frequently just leaving the package outside my garage and not bothering to ring the doorbell, though.
 
Ooooh Shyvana's free
 
user15026
Shyvana?
 
@AshleyNunn League of Legends champion
 
user15026
Ah. :)
 
@John I switched to my phone.
 
4:45 PM
I'm not sure why, but I'm tempted to play the NES version of Metal Gear.
Despite it being the inferior one and me having other work I need to be doing.
 
Well that was unexpected
 
@FallenAngelEyes More unexpected than Aquatic Dutch people?
 
@GnomeSlice Aaahh. Then why bother telling us your internet ends if you have more internet you're going to use?
 
@John I don't usually, I don't get much data per month.
 
@GnomeSlice So you just up and picked last night to be complicated?
 
4:47 PM
I thought of a few more games.
 
@Powerlord Probably just as expected.
 
@John GnomeSlice is always complicated.
Hey that actually worked! I just replied to myself.
:)
@GnomeSlice And of course the 10k you had already listed weren't near enough. :P
 
@Powerlord Those are always expected!
 
I generated a popup notification for myself and everything. I feel talented. :)
 
If anyone's interested, the dev of Voxatron has posted the level file of the standard adventure mode.
