11:03 PM

@AshleyNunn It is.

user15026

Argh, I have to remap for left handed play because I suck at using my mouse with my right hand. :(

MBraedley

@AshleyNunn I still have to play though that. Albeit on the 360

Fluttershy

@AshleyNunn Do you have a wired xbox controller?

user15026

@Fluttershy yes I do :)

Fluttershy

@AshleyNunn Use that. The Xbox controls are considerably easier. The angles some of the levels require are kind of tricky on the WASD...

user15026

11:06 PM

@Fluttershy Oh, awesome. I love when I can do that

GnomeSlice

... Okay, so I had a huge folder on my desktop with all of my non-steam games in it.

Which appears to be gone.

What the fuck...

I'm in tears, why can't I just play my games.

Without everything going wrong.

MBraedley

@GnomeSlice "folder on my desktop" Well there's your problem </Adam Savage>

GnomeSlice

@MBraedley I don't follow you, they've been stored there for years.

What the fuck, how can the entire directory just be GONE.

For no reason.

MBraedley

Is it just shortcuts, or actual executables? They also may have been moved to the unused shortcuts folder, if you did that recently

also, it was more a commentary on how you shouldn't store anything on your desktop

GnomeSlice

@MBraedley actual executables, for games that didn't require an installation. Shortcuts for everything else. Gigabytes of data.

MBraedley

11:17 PM

anyone else have access to your computer?

GnomeSlice

And no, they no longer exist on my system, judging from a quick search for some of them...

@MBraedley Not really, no. It was on all night downloading music through the beatport downloader... that's it.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice: Are you you didn't log into a guest account, or start up in safe mode or something...?

GnomeSlice

I still have the old folder on my other PC, but it's probably missing some of the newer stuff I've added... should have most of it though.

@Wipqozn As I said, it was on all night, signed in and everything.

Screensaver. Or sleep or something.

This is so unfair... what the fuck...

MBraedley

I would check the actual Desktop folder in your user folder. Why can't I type tonight? O

I've only had 2 (or so) drinks

GnomeSlice

@MBraedley I did a system search for a few of the files that were in it, no hits.

MBraedley

11:22 PM

@GnomeSlice Yeah, but system search sucks for non-indexed files. I would do it the hard way. Also, show hidden files.

GnomeSlice

I'm copying the old one from my old PC.

Still has most of the stuff in it.

fbueckert

Why are half the starred messages mine? I'm really not that funny.

GnomeSlice

@MBraedley I always display hidden files.

user15026

Holy crap this game is AWESOME

GnomeSlice

@MBraedley I'm certain that whatever happened, they're gone now.

@AshleyNunn Bastion?

It's really engrossing.

user15026

11:24 PM

@GnomeSlice It just kinda sucks me in :) and the music is FANTASTIC

MBraedley

@fbueckert Just looking at those posts, I'd love it if SE paid for me to fly to Toronto (or have all of you flown to Halifax).

Wipqozn

@MBraedley wait, what? You live in Halifax?

MBraedley

@Wipqozn Give or take

Wipqozn

Oh snap you do!

@MBraedley High five for being a fellow nova scotian

tortoise high-five

I am glad I bought the version with the soundtrack, because the music just makes me happy

Lazers

Q: "Early Access" - What does this mean?

What does this tag mean? I purchased a shotgun at level 6 because it said when you purchase with Zen you get "Early Access", but I can't use it. Have I read this wrong or have I just been conned out of my money and now have to get to level 20 when everyone else can use the same thing and it won't...

blacklight-retribution

Wipqozn

@Lazers When I first seen this post I thought he was asking about a tag on the site. I was getting read to flag as should be on meta.

fbueckert

@MBraedley Been there. Fun. But steep.

MBraedley

@fbueckert Halifax steep? You haven't been to Fredericton, lived in the residence at the top of the hill, and took classes at the bottom of the hill.

fbueckert

@MBraedley I live in the middle of flat lands. Almost ANY angle is steep.

MBraedley

11:29 PM

lol

GnomeSlice

Okay, so the new folder copied successfully.

The shortcuts even appear to still work.

I think it's missing one or two games... but eh, if I can't notice them, I probably wasn't going to play them anyway.

MBraedley

@GnomeSlice Well at least you had some sort of backup

GnomeSlice

@MBraedley Yeah, I recently (few months ago) got a new PC and moved everything from my old one. It's all still on the old one too, so I just took that copy.

MBraedley

wow, just in time to see the lighting of the torch

fbueckert

And just backed my second ever game on Kickstarter.

GnomeSlice

11:39 PM

@fbueckert Super Motherload?

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice Nope. I don't think that one's going to make it.

MBraedley

Sir Paul is on stage now. Which only means that the Spice Girls are not much further. Gah

fbueckert

Star Command for PC.

user15026

@fbueckert I just want it to come out for Android already

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn That, too.

user15026

11:44 PM

@fbueckert I am worried it never will with this whole PC/Mac push

fbueckert

They're not even really starting on the PC version until the dust settles on the mobile.

GnomeSlice

Behold: the chest hugger (face hugger) corset:

...What a strange idea.

Seriously, what were they thinking.

fbueckert

Well that's one way to have an excuse to pull the dress off.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert Lol.

MBraedley

@GnomeSlice That first photo is kinda sexy, the second one? Not so much

GnomeSlice

11:47 PM

@MBraedley The second model looks like a drag queen, is probably why.

Happy now?

Jin

what facehugger?

MBraedley

No, not really

GnomeSlice

@Jin ...It's kind of hard to miss.

MBraedley

Is that the first model? Much sexier when the photo is cropped around her mouth

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice That still looks strange.

GnomeSlice

11:51 PM

@fbueckert It is strange.

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice Not the dress. The model.

Looks...fake, for some reason.

GnomeSlice

At least she doesn't look like she used to be a man.

42 WW2 ads that you should see

MBraedley

@GnomeSlice Plastic surgery can do a lot

Jin

@fbueckert hey man! Sarah Jessica Parker is a good looking lady!

I'm not horsing around here! I mean it!

fbueckert

@Jin Who's that?

Jin

11:52 PM

ok... 2 of my jokes just bombed, badly. i'll show myself out

fbueckert

@Jin Drink some, then come back. :P

GnomeSlice

Eh, I think she's pretty cute. I'd smash.

MBraedley

Phew, I didn't have to endure a Spice Girls set. Too lazy to get up to change the channel (to NBC, because they didn't show the opening games. <rim-shot>)

GnomeSlice

But I really don't think we should turn this into a sexy contest.

Q: How to split a levy

I'm playing the Game of Thrones conversion mod and because of the way the provinces are set up, it's very easy to have individual levies larger than my entire fleet. I know you can create multiple groups of levies by assigning the levies of each barony to a different group, but is it possible to...
