Q: Are there any usable non-player-owned bookshelves?

IsziRelated: What's the quickest & cheapest way to power-level up to 15? So, I've made my way to level 15 and I'm almost done with the Oghma Infinium quest. However, I've just realized that my rushing technique has left me without a house in my name. Without a house, I have no bookshelf. ...

Q: How to change the driving side in the GTA-4?

PrashantIs is possible to change the driving side in the GTA-4, in the game it is right hand drive, but in my country India we drive left side of the road.

Q: Dungeon Defenders: Transfer character (PS3)?

ZenoI have been playing Dungeon Defenders with 4 players on 1 PS3. We would like to transfer 2 characters to another PS3 (which has a different PSN account) so we can "LAN" play together. How can we transfer the characters (or save file)?

 
It seems like all of our skyrim questions have devolved to "I have stumbled across a really specific bug. How do I fix it without the console/fixing it with the console isn't perfect what do."
 
@LessPopMoreFizz So are the servers still going offline tonight?
 
5:48 AM
@Tristan Doesn't look like it
@Tristan They're up at the moment anyways!
I am collecting datacrons!
 
@LessPopMoreFizz I logged on earlier and it said they were going offline at midnight my time. which is 2 hours
 
@Tristan Yeah, but they postponed it
 
Looks like I'll be playing soon then.

Q: Thieves Guild Shill Job glitch - Heimskr radiant quest

Ted SiniI was given the Shill job quest to place a gem in Heimskr's house in Whiterun. The problem is that if you have already completed the Stormcloak Rebellion questline, Heimskr's house is gone - it is covered by rubble and does not appear on the map. The Wiki makes note of this and suggests using t...

Q: Wine on OS X: Playing Counter Strike

DudeMartinToday, I was a bit bored so I decided to install Wine on my Mac. I am running Mac OS X Lion. Normally, when I wanted to play a Windows-only game, I would fire up Windows 7 through Boot Camp, but I wanted to try something different. After quite some time of messing around, I finally managed to in...

@LessPopMoreFizz So, I think my SWTOR is corrupt. I can load my level 3 character just fine, but loading my Marauder causes the game to crash.

11:24 AM
@FallenAngelEyes You still around?
 
@Tristan Hello!
 
@TomMedley Also... wat? Why would someone do that?
 
Just woke up a bit ago
 
@FallenAngelEyes So, guess what happened to me a couple hours ago.
 
11:25 AM
Well, I was playing some LoL. Normal match, 5v5, Tristana. 10 kills, 2 deaths, level 18.
We were pushing the other team back.
Servers shut down for maintenance.
 
@Tristan awww
 
@FallenAngelEyes Yeah. =( I'd just bought my last piece of equipment from the shop and was ready to walk all over their base. lol
Also @FallenAngelEyes I added you on Steam... Hope you don't mind. <.<
 
@Lazers Is there any technical reason why that question could've been posted three times?
I assume the same title filter doesn't apply here?
 
@Tristan Not at all :)
 
@YiJiang They're all different questions. Just worded extremely similarly, and all pointless.

Oh, right. *sigh*

@FallenAngelEyes I play and... I don't even know what all of that means.
 
@Tristan Look at the legends in the bottom left and right. It's a guide to Flashpoints and what gear you can get in them.
 
Oh cool. Thanks! =D
 
12:16 PM
@Fallen Up for a quick bot game?
 
@GraceNote please tell me you're talking about LoL. <.<
 
@Tristan Aye.
 
@GraceNote The North American servers are down. =(
 
I'm sitting in it right now
 
Oh cool! They finished the update earlier than their forum post said.
 
12:20 PM
@GraceNote Sure, just need to patch
 
oh man, just had a lot of fun as minisentry engie
 
Hm, who to play...
 
also I'm getting better at the shotgun
(then TF2 crashed)
 
@FallenAngelEyes I'm updating now. Are the F2P champions different now?
 
@Tristan Yep, rotation is every Tuesday
 
12:22 PM
Cool. I'm excited to see who's available. Did you already finish patching?
 
Just did.
The website has the free rotation as well. :)
As do the LoL wikia, mobafire, and leaguecraft every week
 
Oh. Didn't know that. But, yayyy! Ashe is free!
 
Oooh, Shyvana's free
I'll have to try her this week
Hrm, slight Vayne nerf
 
Well, time to rebuild a new fortress. >.<

Q: Does C4 damage stack?

SpedgeAlthough not really an issue in Multiplayer, I've found in survival mode that using multiple C4 blocks at once doesn't seem to do as much damage as individual C4 attacks. For example - a Juggernaut. 5-6 C4 blocks will kill him, but only one at a time. I throw 8 or 9 C4 blocks on the ground in on...

dudegjersvikThere is a possible bug where you will not receive the quest after the Eye of Magnus has been overloaded, what to do ?

 
12:31 PM
@FallenAngelEyes Almost finished patching! =D
 
Ah, all three of us for today, then?
 
@GraceNote Zam was wondering if he could join
 
@GraceNote If you don't mind... =\ I kinda invited myself.
 
I dun know yer name yet, so I gave Fallen the ability to invite you once you're done patching
 
Done!
 
12:45 PM
@OrigamiRobot Do you like it?
 
ok thats weird
not the avatar
my timing
@RonanForman I LOVE INVADER ZIM
 
It's not quite GIR, but heavily based on him.
 
@RonanForman its GIR enough :D
 
Oh, I like this fortress name. Zustashanam Usan. The Ancient Age of Murdering.
 
now how do I change this stupid gravatar
 
12:53 PM
@OrigamiRobot gravatar.com
 
@RonanForman I got that far. Do I have a case of the dumb?
 
Log in...
 
@RonanForman yea thats where the dumb comes in. I cant read headers. "you don't even need an account" is under site owners
 
hah. Will you join the Steam Test Beta or the Steam Beta Update or no beta participation at all!

Q: How can I toughen Qyzen Fezz?

TomI play as a jedi sage using the telekinesis tree (damage and a little crowd control). My character cannot take much damage because of the light armor and the endurance values. So I'm using Qyzen as a tank. But he has not much more hitpoints than my character. I used to equip him armor with high...

 
@ArdaXi How do I get rid of all these rocks on the floor?
 
@RonanForman Generally, you don't, but my strategy is to have a stockpile around every workshop. So a Mason's Workshop will have a stone stockpile around it, and idle dwarves will haul stones to your masons.
Ugh, I started with only one miner. FML.
One plus, I started near a volcano, so a bit of channelling and I'll have free forges.
 
@RonanForman Designate them for dumping. I usually get them to clean out the rooms when there's excess labour
 
@YiJiang You mean a short-- oh, that ambiguity trips me up at Economics classes all the time.
 
Surplus labour in the short term?
 
1:28 PM
Well, if you have idlers, you can call that a shortage of labour, but you can also call it a surplus.
 
Is Dwarf Fortress F2P?
 
It is
Just call it unemployment then
 
I usually just use stone stockpiles. Less work than dumping.
Plus it's less of a cheat/exploit.
 
If you see it that way. Stone stockpiles usually take too much space for the amount of excess rock you get though
 
@YiJiang I don't dig enough to get that much excess rock.
 
@Tristan It's just free.
 
That the right DF?
 
@Tristan That's the one.
 
Weew! Just downloaded it. =D
 
@Tristan Actually, you might want to try the LNP.
 
1:34 PM
@ArdaXi What's that?
 
Lazy Newb Pack. Basically, an easier repackaged version.
Seeing as the one you downloaded looks like this.
 
@RonanForman I did not know this
 
ASCII that is.
 
@ArdaXi Hmm... Can I try both? >.>
 
You can use the default tileset
 
1:35 PM
Well, the LNP includes the base package, but it has a few graphic tilesets and makes them easier to install.
 
I did, I think it's great
 
Oh, gotcha.
 
I dislike the ASCII tileset DF comes with. I might try another ASCII tileset later.
For now, Phoebus does fine.
 
Anyway, my first successful fortress has died by slow framerate death
I wonder if I should just end it or let it run overnight
 
@YiJiang You'd have to disable announcement pauses if you want to do that.

Q: Do bones in Minetown remember if the fountains have slowed to a trickle?

WoobleIf a player dies in Minetown after being warned by the watchmen to stop dipping in fountains or receiving a message that the flow reduced to a trickle, leaving bones, does another player loading the bones get a new warning when dipping/quaffing from that fountain, or is there a chance of the foun...

 
But yeah, all my workshops follow this pattern.
PPPPP
PWWWP
PWWWP
PWWWP

Where W is the workshop and P is the relevant stockpile.
 
@ArdaXi Yeah, I know where to do that
> “Patch Notes” for the next Dwarf Fortress - As of 1/5/12
Mostly adventure mode stuff, but we're finally getting multiple z-level designations
 
So, my SWTOR install is corrupt, I think. Took 4 days to install and now it crashes when I try loading my Sith marauder. Only my sith marauder. My other characters work fine. o.O
 
@YiJiang And vampires.
 
@Tristan So... do you need to re-install?
 
1:45 PM
@Wipqozn I don't really know. =\ It really just that character.
I might just start playing my Imperial Agent more.
Also, brohoof
 
brohoof
Want to get in on this brohoof @ArdaXi?
 
Err... this place is Google indexed. I'd rather not.
 
@ArdaXi brohoof
 
runs I don't know you!!!
 
@Tristan Do you guys actually even watch the show? >.>
 
1:47 PM
@ArdaXi If this is google indexed, anyone can see the transcript where you and I were casually chatting about Dwarf Fortress. So... Yeah.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Well, there's nothing wrong with the show...
 
@FallenAngelEyes I do. And it's excellent.
 
@Tristan What's wrong with that?!
 
@Tristan So I've heard!
I keep meaning to check it out.
 
@ArdaXi You saying you don't know me will clearly hold no validity.
 
1:48 PM
Ok, need to go to the market to get cheese, later all
 
Surely it's for more than cheese...
But if it's not, I hope it's havarti.
 
@Tristan Noord Hollands belegen, actually!
 
@FallenAngelEyes Watch it. It's awesome.
 
@Wipqozn Apparently it was done by the same people who did Powerpuff Girls but I never saw that
 
@FallenAngelEyes Never heard of it... Must be one'a-them weird eurocheeses.
@FallenAngelEyes Powerpuff Girls and Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends!
 
1:50 PM
@Tristan It's a very generic term.
 
@Tristan Never saw that one either
 
@FallenAngelEyes =(
@ArdaXi It is, true...
 
I didn't have Cartoon Network when I was a kid :(
or any cable channels
 
@FallenAngelEyes Me neither. :(
We've never had Cartoon Network on cable I think.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Well, I think season 1 of MLP is on the YouTubes.
 
1:51 PM
@ArdaXi Really? I know Jochem watched Cartoon Network over here.
 
@FallenAngelEyes I think it's a premium digital channel.
 
@Tristan Oh, neat, didn't know that.
 
@FallenAngelEyes I did, but then I found them to be a bit too boring and started watching National Geographic instead
 
@ArdaXi Aaah, gotcha.
 
@FallenAngelEyes It was.
 
1:52 PM
This is some amazing level gen right here.
 
@RonanForman minicraft?
 
Yup.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Here ya go!
 
@YiJiang My fave channel here was Discovery Science (which I think is just the Science channel in the US) but my provider changed their packages in September, so we don't get it anymore. :(
@Tristan Haha thanks
Ok, really going now, later!
 
@FallenAngelEyes You're welcome. See ya!
 
2:04 PM
I wish magic set editor had a dual face card template so i could make @Wipqozn transform into a Brony when @Tristan is on the field
and vice versa
 
@OrigamiRobot didn't you make a flip card before?
 
@Wipqozn it was kamigawa style flip
 
2:19 PM
Is it strange that Molybdenum is spelt the way it is? The bde doesn't sound English, and it doesn't end with the usual -ium
 
@YiJiang thats why British people say Aluminium
 
@OrigamiRobot How else can you pronounce it? (That makes sense)
 
Wikipedia doesn't list the -ium version as the alternative spelling
Molybdenum ( or ), is a Group 6 chemical element with the symbol Mo and atomic number 42. The name is from Neo-Latin Molybdaenum, from Ancient Greek ', meaning lead, itself proposed as a loanword from Anatolian Luvian and Lydian languages, since its ores were confused with lead ores. The free element, which is a silvery metal, has the sixth-highest melting point of any element. It readily forms hard, stable carbides, and for this reason it is often used in high-strength steel alloys. Molybdenum does not occur as a free metal on Earth, but rather in various oxidation states in minerals. ...
Aluminium ( ) or aluminum (US English) (, ) is a silvery white member of the boron group of chemical elements. It has the symbol Al, and its atomic number is 13. It is not soluble in water under normal circumstances. Aluminium is the third most abundant element (after oxygen and silicon), and the most abundant metal, in the Earth's crust. It makes up about 8% by weight of the Earth's solid surface. Aluminium metal is too reactive chemically to occur natively. Instead, it is found combined in over 270 different minerals. The chief ore of aluminium is bauxite. Aluminium is remarkab...
Wikipedia has both versions read out
 
@RonanForman I'm not starting this
 
@OrigamiRobot Fine, but there's still 2 i's in it.
 
2:24 PM
@RonanForman I SAID IM NOT STARTING THIS
 
@OrigamiRobot I CAN SHOUT LOUDER!
I think you miss it out to make up for the extra syllables you put in other words.
 
@RonanForman like what?
 
2:32 PM
I think we should rename this room to The Bacon
 
@Powerlord You always think that.
 
@RonanForman THIS WAS MY VOICE
Krakatoa () is a volcanic island made of a'a lava in the Sunda Strait between the islands of Java and Sumatra in Indonesia. The name is used for the island group, the main island (also called Rakata), and the volcano as a whole. The island exploded in 1883, killing approximately 40,000 people, although some estimates put the death toll much higher. The explosion is considered to be the loudest sound ever heard in modern history, with reports of it being heard nearly from its point of origin. The shock wave from the explosion was recorded on barographs around the globe. Historical sig...
 
@Powerlord Don't you have the power?
 
@OrigamiRobot That'd be hilarious.
 
@YiJiang He does.
 
2:38 PM
@RonanForman I take it back
I will start this
Humphry Davy (British chemist and inventor) first called it "alumium"
Then he changed it to "aluminum"
 
@RonanForman Bacon is always good
@OrigamiRobot are you blaming American English on the inventor of the safety lamp?
 
@OrigamiRobot I thought he changed it to aluminium!
 
@Powerlord no, that was some random guy who said aluminium sounded "more classical"
But the same year, an anonymous contributor to the Quarterly Review, a British political-literary journal, in a review of Davy's book, objected to aluminum and proposed the name aluminium, "for so we shall take the liberty of writing the word, in preference to aluminum, which has a less classical sound."

Q: Why is the answer always 'Bukkit'? (or: Mods in answers)

YamikuronueWhen someone says they're running an unmodded game, such as vanilla minecraft server, should we encourage answers that say "Well, if you mod your game, you can do X to solve your problem"?

Comparing developers.slashdot.org/story/12/01/17/141244/… with superuser.com/questions/19662/… , There is just no comparison in my mind. The accepted answer on SU doesn't seem to be anywhere at all on slashdot. Unless you are willing to dig.
 
The spelling used throughout the 19th century by most U.S. chemists was aluminium
somewhere along the line, things got reversed
@RoryAlsop I'm saying he has the right to call it whatever he wants so im siding with him
 
I just flooded my fortress with magma again. Don't ever let me embark near a volcano. Ever.
