Q: Keep spawning Fire Ants AFTER completing Quest "Those!"

RobotnikI'm testing out a mod that allows you to 'recruit' insects in the game. The mod works ok for the most part (sometimes the insects can't follow you through doors) but that's not why I'm here. I had recruited two Fire Ant Soldiers which make an excellent addition to my army, and they were doing qu...

Q: Is there a limit to the amount of items a pipe can carry at once, or, a limit on the number of items within a chunk?

John HI've setup my own Tekkit 3.1.3 server which I'm playing on with a couple of friends. We setup 3 quarries in fairly close proximity. Each quarry's output is piped to a main transport pipe which pipes a long distance back to our main hub. Everything is running fine except that we keep finding ra...

A: TF2: What are the following items worth?

badpWell, define "worth." In order for you to understand what these items are "worth" you need to understand the context that gives "worth" to these items: the TF2 trading economy. The idea is that while accumulating refined metal is good and easy to make and doesn't require interactions with other ...

 
12:08 AM
That's quite the wall of text.
 
Posted three minutes after the last close vote was casted
AW YEAH
 
@badp Is that another mod privilege?
 
@InvaderSkoodge No, I think you have a five minute grace time to finish writing your answer if you'd already started writing it before the question was closed.
 
@InvaderSkoodge He specified USD
 
@Wipqozn idk, it looks pretty cool.
 
12:11 AM
> Perhaps irritatingly, this means for example that whoever happened to log in on TF2 on the Mac release week has a small fortune out of nowhere. Who preordered an entirely unrelated game has twice that fortune for it. It's arbitrary, but that's the way it is.
 
Indeed when I first attempted to submit the answer the site got back at me with a red message and no "Submit answer" button. I had to rely on Chrome's general awesomeness to still post it.
 
Yes, but those weren't that valuable when they first came out
 
I don't know how fun it is, but it's got to be one of the most-requested games ever.
 
Quick, make with the delete votes!
 
Just usually in 3D.
 
12:12 AM
@Powerlord Well, yeah, as I say those items are only going up in value (if things don't change significantly)
 
That's because those hats were pre-order bonuses (and for earbuds, bonuses for playing on a Mac between two short time periods) from before Valve introduced the Genuine system.
 
@fbueckert @Fluttershy @MichelAyres I've edited this question to make it acceptable. Re-open votes would be appreciated.
 
I'm not sure I see the connection - Genuine happened because refined metal dropped from 27 to 18 weapons
 
I'm not the fondest of Decency in general, but his most recent answer is actually really good.
To a marginal question, at that.
 
12:15 AM
@badp Items that have the Genuine quality are also available as Unique quality.
Introducing a Unique Max's Severed Head would make its value drop (assuming existing ones change to Genuine)
 
Sure.
 
Make the old version's value drop, that is.
 
Are you trying to justify the choice of items no longer being distributed?
I understand why it happened
althuogh, conversely
If somebody gets a Max's Severed Head because he likes it as a hat
 
I wouldn't have a problem with Valve introducing genuine and unique versions of the older promos.
 
the hat is thus removed from the economy
 
12:17 AM
@GnomeSlice The controls kind of stink.
 
Honestly, I traded my Max's severed Head away before it was paintable... terrible looking hat.
 
and its value (and the value of all other copies) goes up
 
However, it's a lot better looking with paint.
Of the non-Unusual rare hats, Bills is the only really decent looking one.
 
I'm not sure why it's unreasonable for those items to go down but not up in value (when they can go down anyway, see Russia)
 
Yes, the whole Russia thing driving Buds up is just silly.
It doesn't help that the prices of unusual hats are pinned to the price of buds.
 
12:20 AM
@MichelAyres Hello there.
 
(I think that's the financial term for that.. like how China's currency used to be pinned to the US Dollar... I think it's pinned to the Euro now)
 
btw @Powerlord is there anything wrong in what I wrote?
 
@badp I only really read the first part
 
@Powerlord Well if you read up to the point you quoted then the rest is "Go check up those sites for tables or make up your own mind by searching trading sites"

A: How do you create a waterfall elevator?

badpIf I understand the theory, here's how you do it. ≋≋≋≋≋█ ← remove this - ground level ██████ when ready █ █ █ ................................................... █ █ █ █ █ - mine level ███████ Remove ...

How long have waterfall elevators been broken for now?
A year? More?
(Do they actually still work?)
 
@badp: I think pinning the 1$ keys on just russion scammers is a bit overly simplified. But I'm guessing that part was more meant as a joke?
 
@CruelCow You missed the detailed analysis on this, I take it?
 
@CruelCow Well it's certainly not the only factor. But I think it has a nonzero effect
 
@Powerlord Nah, I saw it. But money laundering or not, keys would always be cheaper than the asking price of Valve
 
@CruelCow Why do you say that? There's only one way for keys to enter the market: Someone buys them.
 
@badp Boats don't work the way you did it now. The non-boat one still works, but it's slow.

Q: Does anybody have the original sound effects of Final Fantasy 7?

jokoonI'd do anything to have to play with them and make some ringtone or else... Anyone of you have it ? I'm looking for the interface sounds and SFX sound, especially the 'limit reached' and when a character jumps to attack an enemy.

 
@Ullallulloo So do I bounty the question for an updated answer or do I close it too localized?
 
12:42 AM
@Powerlord Well, nobody would buy keys for Valve's price from not-Valve. It'd be just a bigger hassle with more risk
 
@badp I don't know. It's still possible even with boats, I'm pretty sure.
 
@CruelCow True, but keys aren't bought from other people with money.
 
@CruelCow Why would you sell them in the first place though? There's not a lot of people selling MvM tickets, for comparison.
 
At least not usually.
 
@CruelCow Mind you, I approximated the value of the key by seeing how many keys do buds go for and how many dollars do buds go for
I don't know if keys sold for money do sell for that amount of money
I've never traded with real money and don't intend to start any time soon

Actually, this might not be possible now.

Q: How does scoring work?

KatieKIn Letterpress, how does scoring work? Do I earn more points for certain hard to use letters, or for letters which are dark blue (all mine)?

 
In other news I'm happy that chasing oranges in Borderlands 2 slot machines is showing me in practical terms (but for no real life money) the idiocy that is chasing unusuals in TF2 crates
I must've spun the wheel a couple hundred times now, not a single orange to be seen yet :(
(It's not like there are better money sinks in the game!)
 
Yeah, boat elevators look impossible now.
 
@badp: just to be clear, it was a really minor nitpick to an awesome answer, not a "this answer sucks" comment.

I was wondering if I could run this program in a window instead of full screen. Is there a command or Unity plugin to ...

 
Anyone have any idea why Avast (antivirus) could be maintaining 100KB/sec upload?
 
@Wipqozn oh man, I remember reading that story. It's great
 
@InvaderSkoodge Uploading unknown programs that it found on your PC. Though that should only take a few seconds if the programmers thought of including a meaningful file size limit
 
@CruelCow I guess that makes sense, but I wish it wouldn't use so much bandwidth.
 
1:28 AM
@InvaderSkoodge Anyone have any idea why you're using Avast?
 
@InvaderSkoodge Check the options, I'd be surprised if you couldn't opt out
 
@badp Because I don't know what's better. It used to be my go-to years ago but it's pretty annoying now.
 
They were decent once. Then I uninstalled it and my computer was 3× faster
@InvaderSkoodge Use Microsoft's.
It's much more lightweight and completely free.
 
@badp Is it packaged with Windows or separate?
 
It's packaged with Windows 8.
 
1:29 AM
I have 7.
 
It's a download and possibly a WGA authentication away.
 
> Get Microsoft Security Essentials for the low, low price of free.
 
Yeah, that one.
Another plus is it gets updates from Windows Update
so that's one less updater in your system.
 
Avast's uninstall is pretty terrible.
 
@CruelCow Awwww their hands are almost touching
 
Ok Avast is gone and Microsoft's antivirus is doing its scan thing. Thanks @badp!

@spugsley Indeed. This is a rather upsetting turn of events.
 
Has anyone bought/used a wireless sensor bar for their Wii?
 
@BenBrocka I was in the market for a sensor bar recently and didn't get a wireless one because I hate the idea of changing batteries in it. It was trash and it took like 30 minutes of setup to get it to be even usable.
 
@badp I freaked out trying to find how to get MS Security Essentials back on Win 8 after the upgrade. Eventually found out it's packaged in
@InvaderSkoodge Hm didn't think of batteries, I guess it would require them
My cat keeps playing with the cable for mine... specifically the sensor bar cable. So I was considering a wireless one

There must be something in the casing that attracts him to it or something

BlueRaja - Danny PflughoeftWithin Steam's "Big Picture Mode," games are shown with a half- or full-controller to signify partial- or full-controller support, respectively.

But I had bacon-wrapped chili cheese dogs, so I had a pretty good dinner too. :P
 
@OrigamiRobot If it's the purpley dragon thing, that's the default. Though I did just recently unlock the use to make a custom logo.

Poffertjes () are a traditional Dutch batter treat. Resembling small, fluffy pancakes, they are made with yeast and buckwheat flour. Unlike American pancakes, they have a light, spongy texture. Typically, poffertjes are served with powdered sugar and butter. Mainly in the colder seasons, temporary stands selling poffertjes are quite popular, and sell portions containing one or two dozen of them. Sometimes the cook prepares them freshly for you. They are sold on a small cardboard (sometimes plastic) plate and come with a small disposable fork the size of a pastry fork. Poffertjes are not...

Q: How do I get to the vista on Moorwatch Tower?

@MartinSojka I was just sharing, @OrigamiRobot and I spent about 5-10 minutes stood next to the catapult randomly clicking on stuff lastnight
turns out if we had finished all of the events rather than waiting for them to time out we could have just clicked on it
 
Asking Google would have saved you 4-9 minutes then. :)
 
10:03 AM
It was more fun to keep trying to jump into the catapult every time he launched a cow
 
Ah. That's all right then. :D
 
I think you're missing how unique of an idea it is having a farmer catapulting cows into the air as an experiment is
the first few minutes were 'what, seriously?'
 
Unique? WTH do you think the most common method of spreading disease in a city you're siegeing was?
 
I don't know, I'm not old like you
he wasn't siegeing anything either
he was just having fun, catapulting cows
 
For the record, it was "Put big animals and prisoners on catapults, fire them into the city. Works best if they are already diseased, but even if not, the filth and rats will do the rest."

TZHXIs it correct for people to "correct" British English spelling into American English? I can't see anything in the FAQ about this, and while the site is American in origin, I don't think the British spelling should be treated as mistakes.

 
@YiJiang The fact he accepted it is the only reason I'm letting it drop this time
@tombull89 the thing Ronan links pretty much indicates author's prerogative
 
@tombull89 My opinion is: Stick to the spelling the one who originally wrote the question or answer used, even if it's not your preferred one. This is also true for other languages as well - if someone is using Swiss or Austrian German, I don't see why anyone should "correct" it.
 
and using "they probably thought it was spelt incorrectly" is ignorant and still unacceptable
