6:00 PM
@Mana oh, you told me
Cool
 
@murgatroid99 Good job.
 
@Mana for XNA?
 
@RavenDreamer Yeah
I know that I can create a .exe, but then the person I give it to has to have some extra stuff installed, right?
 
If you're using Visual Studio, you should just be able to build the project.
Oh, you mean the XNA framework?
Holllldon.
 
Jin
@RavenDreamer i'm so stuffed, i went to that chinese place i told you about
 
6:13 PM
Hmm, I should probably wrap my sisters present seeing as how she arrives today (hopefully)
 
@Jin gooood?
 
Jin
@RavenDreamer yeah. i love their porkbelly dish
we'll go there next time
 
@Mana I don't remember. This is what I thought ahd it, buthere: gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/20212/…
 
Okay, Mobiloid is awesome. You guys should all get it, you can get it for as little as 25 cents right now on IGS.
@Ullallulloo You picked it up yet?
 
@GnomeSlice Last night.
I haven't downloaded it though.
 
6:15 PM
@Ullallulloo I just started it and so far it's pretty neat.
 
6:25 PM
 
@GnomeSlice He's friends with six grills?
I don't even have one grillfriend. :(
 
[12:27] <Gretell> Ragdoll (L27 MuEn) is cast into the Abyss! (miscasting Haunt) (Vaults:5)
[12:27] <Ragdoll> what no
 
@Ullallulloo is that friends who grill?
 
@MBraedley No idea.
He's also dating a chairladder.
2
So he's romantically involved with lots of furniture.
 
@Ullallulloo now I really want a grillfriend
 
6:29 PM
@Ullallulloo Does his chairladder know about his grillfriends?
3
 
@fredley I bet it's jealous
 
Titanic is on. Can somebody please direct me to a Titanic/Inception mashup?
 
@MBraedley Thank you.
 
my better judgement is screaming at me not to do it, but for some reason I want to watch Titanic
@MBraedley the music in this video is the same from the Mass Effect movie trailer
 
6:36 PM
@kalina ಠ_ಠ
 
@fredley what? :p
oh I wish how it was real
 
@kalina That would be awesome
 
@kalina that's because that mashup uses the inception soundtrack
 
@MBraedley well I think that's a good track
 
@kalina not disagreeing
I need more rep. @fredley, find another KSP question to ask.
 
6:44 PM
@MBraedley Ugh, gimme a sec
@MBraedley I need more rep too. 700 until I obtain trust.
 
I am sad to see that the guesstimated cast list for the actual Mass Effect movie only seems to include Seth Green in his original role
 
@kalina no Tricia Helfer?
 
nope
it's just a guesstimate though
I heard from somewhere that Seth wasn't getting the Joker role, which made me laugh
something about him being too tall
 
@kalina he's not that tall, is he?
 
there's no real reason IMO why you couldn't just use the entire voice cast, what with the in game models being generally based on the voice actors
 
6:50 PM
 
@MBraedley Easy one for you
 
@fredley I think that's a dupe. Or maybe I'm thinking about borderlands
 
@MBraedley It's a common question, essentially exactly the same under many different tags.

Q: Copying an SMP server

user38957A few players on our server are concerned that the admin is on the verge of abandoning his (our) server. He hardly logs in and when he does it's for nothing more than to complain about how the server is lagging his computer and our creations look "lame". After offering to send new hardware for up...

Q: Is there a longer straight road in Unova than Route 3?

Jonathan DrainRoute 3 outside of the Pokémon Daycare has a long path you can travel in a straight line to hatch eggs quickly. It's a straight horizontal and there are no trainers or obstacles in the way. There are no doorways at either end that you might stumble into. Is there a longer such road in Black/Whit...

Q: Can I transfer my saved game between platforms?

fredleyI've been playing KSP on a Mac, but I'd like to transfer all my save data over to a Windows PC. Is this possible? If so, where are the files and what do I need to transfer?

 
wtb 200 rep worth of questions/answers for tomorrow
ty in advance
 
6:58 PM
Aw, they cut the nudey scene out of Titanic
 
@fredley it's on tv for Pete's sake
 
They added more games the HB7.
None really interest me though.
 
Arg, chat needs a big buttons for meat fingers option. It's hard to hit the reply and star buttons.
 
@MBraedley At 7pm. Still it's artistic.
@MBraedley Does chat have hotkeys? Chat should have hotkeys.
 
@fredley although over there, your much less puritanical than American media
@fredley doesn't really help on an iPad.
 
7:03 PM
@MBraedley Oh yes. We're somewhere between American puritanism and European debauchery.
 
@kalina guesstimate ಠ_ಠ
 
@OrigamiRobot @kalina has attracted a lot of disapproval today
 
I think @OrigamiRobot is trying to upset me
 
@kalina He does that. Just ignore him.
@kalina why the name change?
 
no, he's making me all sad :'(

Q: running xthrust is not possible for me

user36410I want to run the executable xthrust but it requires a particular type of visual that is not available. The error it reports is "Not 8 bits per pixel PseudoColor." xdpyinfo lists the visuals but none of them seem to be PseudoColor. Is this a limitation of my monitor? How can I determine this? I...

 
@fredley eugh
 
@kalina Sorry!
 
@fredley I would tell you, but I've just double checked and anything I paste would lead you straight back to them
essentially it was something along the lines of a forum thread asking where I was
followed by a variety of different individuals starting a hunt to locate where I've gone since I stopped posting
 
@kalina Oh ok. Hiding is a reasonable reason to change your name I guess.
 
It's partially hiding, and partially a forum of people whose entire existence is to troll the internet
 
7:08 PM
Did all the images at the Crawl wiki just up and vanish?
 
@kalina 4chan?
 
@fredley not quite that bad, pretty close though
 
@kalina nasty
 
They're formulating a variety of reasons why I left
I haven't had the heart to tell them the truth
 
@kalina Aw
 
7:12 PM
@kalina Reddit? :P
 
@Powerlord no
 
I thought about saying Something Awful, but I figured that was too obvious
 
the only reason I ever went on this particular website was because I was allowed to moderate it
(which is why I know I would be a terrible mod)
 
@kalina @ArdaXI Yes, you would.
 
@Powerlord I'm not sure what the @ArdaXI part is a reference to
 
7:18 PM
@kalina What exactly led to this?
 
@GraceNote what, to me using the site or moderating it?
 
@kalina Hold on a sec, I'll get you the literature.
@kalina Latter.
 
@kalina @ArdaXi was the originally proposed terrible mod
 
I used the site because it was a group of people I played games with
I moderated it because everybody on there was scum
 
@kalina You're sure it's not on Reddit?
 
7:19 PM
I mean, why were you specifically chosen for moderation?
 
one day they decided to see how far they could push my "porn is degrading to women" belief by spamming the place with increasingly disgusting porn
so I banned everybody
 
Who approached you to bring you there and do this task?
 
oh, the person who hosts it did
 
the conversation went something like "you should use our forums" "not a chance, the only way I would do that is if I could delete anything that isn't gaming related" "done"
 
7:20 PM
Schoolfriends or summat?
Feb 1 '11 at 21:44, by Mana
@Arda YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE A TERRIBLE MOD
 
nope, only ever met one of them, they were all from Neocron, which I played from 2001-2006
 
Oh, game associates.
 
@GraceNote oh right, this is totally different, I know I would make a terrible mod, I don't need to be told :P
 
And they're just wondering where you are now?
 
@Powerlord I used the forum from 2004 to 2010
It's also fairly normal for me to back off from anything that annoys me for 6-18 months without warning
in fact, 200+ consecutive days on here has got to be the longest I've stuck around anywhere uninterrupted

@kalina Ah ok
 
@kalina You did almost leave us.
 
you can fit many 6 month breaks in a 6 year period
@GraceNote yes, but unusually I gave warning beforehand
 
I'm glad you stuck around though.
 
7:25 PM
if I had done it my way that meta post would have never been created and I wouldn't have been back
 
@GraceNote me too
 
lies, etc
 
@kalina glad you did and glad you are
 
Mine is not the face of a liar.

Q: Do technologies still get cheaper as they get older/discovered by others in Civ 5?

tog22In Civilization 5, do technologies still get cheaper as they get older/discovered by others? Or is there no difference which order you research them in? In previous Civs, I believe they got cheaper as they got discovered by others.

Q: Under what circumstances can an Eevee be found in a Hidden Grotto?

Jonathan DrainThere's a rumour that Eevee can be found in a Hidden Grotto in Pokémon Black/White 2, although extremely rare. Is this true? If so, what exactly are the circumstances under which an Eevee can be found?

Q: wireless bluetooth headsets on xbox 360

Brent FrazierShould I be able to hear game sounds on the these bluetooth wireless headsets? Both of my sons are set up win these headseats yet only the 1st player can enter in or hear the chatting with online friends. Shouldn't they be able to hear each other and the chatting?

 
7:27 PM
fortunately, googling "pixel" is like looking for a needle in a haystack
 
@kalina .oO(What Meta post?)
 
@kalina I save myself a lot of trouble by never re-using a nickname unless it's a sister community that I'm travelling from.
 
@GraceNote everywhere I've been has used the same nickname at the same time at some point, but they go out of sync as I leave places and don't update them
 
7:29 PM
@Powerlord We don't want to go over this again
 
currently I'm only known as kalina here
 
@GraceNote I'm way too lazy to look up your old nickname
 
@Powerlord The one I used here before was ccomet. Still a new name, though.
 
@Powerlord do we really want to dig this up?
 
I suppose now would be a bad time to mention I've been using this name since 1993?
 
7:30 PM
@Powerlord Mine only goes back to about 2002 :(
 
@Powerlord in fact, do your own damn research! I've only asked 24 questions on meta and 23 of those are about tag merge requests, synonym requests and hats.
and so many of those are unactioned when they really should be -.-
 
ccomet comes from an old email address of mine that I never use and it accumulates spam all the time. My current name, I have had the name prepped for usage since 2009 but I never used it until mid-2010 when I changed my name here to it.
 
who was it who talked about train simulator games
 
I retired my junior high/high school nick when I graduated from high school. Don't think I'll ever go back to it. Especially since it doesn't fit my avatar
 
@kalina Who here hasn't talked about those?
 
7:34 PM
I don't know
 
@MBraedley Technically my name here only fits one of my avatars. ♪
 
but I tried one that I got completely legitimately during a steam sale, and I fell asleep half way through
 
Today's Steam sale games are lame.
 
I don't understand when the fun happens in those games
 
7:35 PM
@GraceNote I would be mixing franchises
 
@StrixVaria I haven't looked at them yet. How bad are they?
 
@fredley THIS IS HOW I FELT
 
@Powerlord XCOM is "on sale" for $33.50.
That's the best deal of the day.
 
@kalina when you crash, obviously
 
@kalina Haha, that's quite amusing
 
7:36 PM
Somehow I accumulated 3 hours of game time while pressing no more than 3 buttons
 
@MBraedley Nothing wrong with that.
 
@kalina Try ME3, that's only one button!
 
@fredley have to use WASD + mouse in addition to space though
 
@kalina Eh
@kalina Try Pong
 
I got so bored of it in the end that I just went full speed and smashed into a train station
 
7:37 PM
@kalina It's probably a good thing I was gone before this particular meta issue came up.
 
It would have been satisfying, but the station was underground so I didn't get to see the crash
 
@fredley Jesus Christ, NSFW w/o headphones
 
@Powerlord oh do explain
 
@kalina Are you sure it would've actually shown it?
 
@GraceNote I'm not no
 
7:38 PM
 
@kalina Not necessarily problems I have with the question but with the answers to it.
 
A friend was showing me an air traffic simulator the other day, and when you set two planes to head-on in the runways, it just shows them facing each other and it says "COLLISION - GAME OVER", or summat along those lines.
 
this video indicates you see them come off the track
I doubt there are explosions though
 
Most vehicles don't actually explode in an impact.
 
computer games have taught me that everything explodes if you crash it fast enough
this is the reason I have spent so much time playing ksp
 
7:42 PM
@kalina that's the KSP philosophy
 
its not for the space flight, it's for the explosions
 
Speaking of crashing, that was one of my favorite ways of killing my friends in the original Half-Life DeathMatch.
 
sometimes I skip through stages really quickly just after take off so solid fuel boosters explode my craft
 
@kalina Have you ever played Burnout series?
 
@GraceNote yeah I have many burn outs
and the new NFS which is also basically just burnout
 
7:43 PM
One of the maps had a little train thing that you could race around the track on the level. I'd intentionally hop in, switch the direction full speed (forward or reverse) and try to ram them.
 
although there are no explosions in NFS
 
It even had its own kill icon! \o/
 
@kalina This makes one question what the point is.
 
@GraceNote there is no point, I was hoping for explosions, there were none, this is why I've played the game for less than 2 hours
 
@Powerlord This reminds me of a very humorous event during one of the only times I ever played Battlefield 1942.
 
7:46 PM
Skip to the end
 
"Skip to the end"... that's Spaced all over again
 
Some TF2 update either this year or last year made it so some of the... interesting.... levels people made that use trains no longer work correctly.
cp_traingrid is exactly what it says on the tin.
Unfortunately, they now get stuck on each other instead of crossing in the elaborate patterns it had before.
 
"Desert Combat Racing" was always a dangerous sport. After all, racing across minefields in an active battlefield always is. But even getting to the start line is dangerous. Or not.
 
I prefer dessert combat racing
 
I was driving a nice buggy down towards the random map point we specified to start our race, when off to the side of my camera, I watch a jet plane just nosedive straight into the ground, explode a bit, and then topple over. Failed vehicular assassination attempt on my person by my brother.
 
7:49 PM
cp_trainwreck was updated to work again, but now it uses the payload bomb cart models which are shorter. Still funny to see all these bomb carts criss-crossing on a map.
@GraceNote Whoops! Did you ask him where he learned how to fly?
(Yay Spaceballs reference!)
 
@Powerlord Hehehe. He's actually one of the only two people among us who can actually dogfight with a plane.
 
I tried to dogfight with a plane once but the dogs just wouldn't stay on the wings
 
I s'pose it's time I get dressed. Might have to go out in the cold shortly.
 
@kalina Spaced == awesome
 
@fredley yes it is!
pretty much everything simon pegg did
does*
 
7:55 PM
@kalina Yes
TFU
 
@fredley I loved the robot wars episode
 
@kalina Yes. Esp as I used to love robot wars
 
HI BRIDGE
 
I've never really watched TV so I never saw robot wars
 
@Fluttershy ignores
 
7:57 PM
@Fluttershy o/
 
@fredley =(
 
@Fluttershy Hi AppleJack!
 
@Powerlord You are dead to me.
 
@kalina This is hilarious.
Because nobody ever responds
 
@fredley why?
oh yeah, I know
 
7:59 PM
@kalina I just picture you hanging there, alone.
 
Is it going home time yet?
 
@Powerlord it has to be close
 
@Powerlord Not for another week
 
checks clock Damn, another two and a half hours.
 
@fredley I don't hang anywhere
 
7:59 PM
Take off early
 
@kalina Fine, here you go then:

Q: Saints Row the Third DLC WARNING

Kirk WilliamOn xbox 360 if I join a game or someone joins my game and does not have the same DLC I get this warning message: "You are missing Downloadable Content that was previously available. Some content may be unavailable.Please re-download the content." I then have to re-install it from my DLC disk. How...

 
Is @StrixVaria around?
 
@MBraedley I could, but I get paid less if I do.
 
@fredley <('o')>
 
8:00 PM
I have literally nothing to do.
 
@Powerlord Play KSP?
 
@Fluttershy I think so.
 
@Lazers I think the title needs editing, but I can't think what it should be
 
@fredley ....at work?
 
8:02 PM
@Fluttershy What's up?
 
@Powerlord it's not like you're doing anything else today
 
@StrixVaria What'd you think of Arkham Asylum? That little bit you played, anyway?
 
@fredley Well, besides not owning it, I probably don't have permissions to install it.
 
@Fluttershy The intro was way too long. The combat seems like it's going to be awesome. I don't think I'm out of the tutorial part yet.
 
Program presented by Patrick Stewart on BBC2 now. Who cares what it's about, it's got Patrick Stewart
@Powerlord VM
 
8:04 PM
Plus, my boss is here today, so I don't want to be caught playing games.
 
Also the stealth seems like it's pretty straightforward so far.
 
@Powerlord Ah. I'd recommend a job without a boss.
 
@fredley what's the current exchange rate?
 
@StrixVaria The intro is a tad lengthy... But at least it wasn't Xenosaga. The combat though... That is where the game shines. I don't know who came up with that style of combat, but cheesus were they brilliant.
 
@fredley No VM program installed on this machine. It's not required for most people, so it's not part of the standard install.
 
8:04 PM
The main thing I don't like is when you have to keep track of tons of enemies who all move in different patterns and ugh.
 
@MBraedley Why the hell are you asking me? I'm just going to ask Google!
 
That and this is a new machine, so even if I had it before, I don't now.
 
@StrixVaria You will rarely find yourself in a situation where you cannot take them out 1-2 at a time.
 
@Powerlord Lame.
 
@Fluttershy I haven't gotten to fight too much yet, so I'm still picking up the timing.
 
8:06 PM
@StrixVaria What difficulty are you playing on?
 
@Fluttershy Oh right. I generally do first-time playthroughs on Easy.
Getting frustrated is a surefire way for me to put a game down forever.
 
@StrixVaria Okay. Timing is super easy then. Especially with countering. If you were on hard (I think?), the lightning bolts wouldn't show up for counters.
 
@Fluttershy I'm not saying I'm having difficulty with it, just that it's not quite automatic yet.
 
(and by new machine, I mean I first used it at 3pm Friday last week, and had the next 4 days after that off...)
 
@StrixVaria Oh, I know. I was just stating.. <_<
 
8:09 PM
Hopefully I have some time to play again tonight, but I'm not sure if that's going to happen.
I'm picking up all my old MtG cards from my mom's house and that's going to inevitably lead to me going through all my old MtG cards.
 
@StrixVaria NO! Resist!
 
@StrixVaria Oh jeez... x_x See ya in a month!
 
Hi all

A: How do I Pass the Second 'Narrow Gap'?

GnomeSliceAfter a bit of fiddling, I came up with the solution. First, take off the turntable and drive a little ways into the gap. Then mod your robot and put the turntable back on, but on top of your battery (not under it as usual). Now your turntable will help you climb up the slopes on either side...

wooo
I hate self answering.
 
8:17 PM
@GnomeSlice Then stop playing games no one else will play. Ever.
 
Did I annoy someone?
 
@GnomeSlice Rubber Ducking, it is called
 
@Macha Nope. He did it to me too.
Also, hello.
 
@Fluttershy Play it. It's dirt cheap. indiegamestand.com
Also very engaging.
I came up with the answer while playing and hadn't posted the question yet, it was kind of half written.
 
Oh, had someone going you look like @Macha in my notifications thing, was kinda worried I had then when I went in and got pointedly ignored :P

EnderTaken directly from the wiki. Advantages ■Hacking - Skill at manipulating computers ■Medic - Skill at medical procedures (increases the rate of wound recovery) ■Hiding - Skill at hiding and concealment (grants the ability to sneak) ■Melee - Skill at hand-to-hand combat ■Eagle Eye - Increase...

Fack, he's going to get half my bounty too.
 
@GnomeSlice Not if it's sitting at zero. It has to be at 2 or more, I believe.
 
Mobiloid is awesome.
 
@Fluttershy that's right
 
My sisters flight has been delayed again. There's only so much fuel in a Dash-8, though, so they better not take too much time.

Q: What does it take to bring down a L5 Resonator If i'm only L2?

capdragonI'm at Level 2 on Ingress. Can I take down a portal that is full of L4 resonators and has ONE L5 resonator? If so, approximately what will it take? I have about 50 L1 XMP busters and 14 L2 XMP Busters. There is this information about how much damage the XMP busters do. But I don't think it show...

Q: How do I Pass the Second 'Narrow Gap'?

GnomeSliceTo get through the first one, all I had to do was take my turntable off, boost my battery through, and then put it back on. However, the next one (scanned as 'Narrow Gap 2') has an obstacle in it that my battery can't climb over by itself. How do I get through here?

 
@GnomeSlice Fluttershy is right. It has to be at +2 (or at least +1, I'm not positive)
 
8:48 PM
@Wipqozn you getting freezing rain there?
 
Is @fredley grumpy today?
 
@OrigamiRobot no but you are

I maintain constant grumpy uptime via @Strix
 
y u so grumpy?
 
@kalina no u
 
8:52 PM
@kalina WHY DID YOU CHANGE YOUR NAME AGAIN!?
 
@Fluttershy paranoia told me it was the best course of action
 
I only just realized that it was actually @pixel. >_>
@kalina Downvoted again?
 
@Fluttershy non-site related paranoia
 
@Fluttershy "Again"?
 
@GraceNote ickleislands > pixel > kalina
@GraceNote I follow these things.
 
8:53 PM
I don't recall her ever having that original name. I guess I missed that period of time.
 
OH NO, I'M TRYING TO HIDE FROM STALKERS AND THEY'VE ALREADY FOUND ME!!!!1111eleven
 
@GraceNote it was brief IIRC
 
@OrigamiRobot Yes
 
She was ickleislands?
 
@kalina How?
 
8:54 PM
@fredley She is referring to my knowing the name changes. <_<
 
1 min ago, by Fluttershy
@GraceNote ickleislands > pixel > kalina
 
@fredley She's implying that Fluttershy is a stalker.
 
@fredley Do you need a diaper change?
 
@OrigamiRobot I need not to be hungover, but whatever tickles your fancy
 
@fredley water+toast
oh, and not drinking

@kalina Or beer. Beer seems to be working.
 
@kalina Ginger ale is also acceptable.
 
@kalina I don't think your name ever showed up as "kalina" for me
 
Isn't it like 9pm there?
 
prevents hangovers at all
 
@MBraedley How do I adapt from probotron size to normal size?
 
8:56 PM
@fredley that's only delaying the inevitable
 
@kalina Delaying indefinitely is just the same. See: US debt
 
@fredley with something from the spaceport. Let me find it
 
@murgatroid99 It is right now.
 
@MBraedley Also, are nosecones worth it?
 
@fredley nope, doesn't look like it
 
8:58 PM
@MBraedley Do I need to restart ksp after installing mod?
 
@fredley I believe so. It loads the part defs at startup
