Q: Is it possible to kill Elite Guards silently?

I've just encountered my first Elite guard. My companion says something along the lines of "That guy looks tough, you may not be able to take him down even if you catch him by surprise. You'll have to stun him somehow first." Looking in my bag of ninja tricks, I couldn't come up with a way to ...

Q: Can i get a physical copy of Ragnarok Odyssey PAL

i despise how some game are starting to become digital download only (like Atelier Totori Plus) because i have to wait hours for a couple of GB to download and since the Vita connects via wireless which can drop out sometimes (reason why i can't update Disgaea 4) With that in mind and the fact t...

Q: Can you sync PSVita trophies from a NTSC Game with a PAL Account

i know that a PSN Account is tied to the memory card which mean if you wanted a NTSC (US) and PAL (UK, Aus) PSN Account you would need 2 memory cards with that said, in terms of trophies, can you sync trophies that were obtained from an NTSC Game with a PAL PSN Account, where's an example I hav...

what is the most unrealistic FPS

@Johann You mean, other than fighting possessed marines and demonic hordes through a base on a moon of Mars and then into Hell itself to prevent them from invading Earth?

I say Deus Ex. The fact that you can solve things through nonviolence makes it unrealistic to me.

@Coronus Fuck realism, I'd take that over any modern military shooter

12:18 AM

Nonviolence never works in real life. </sarcasm>

@Unionhawk Yeah, me too. :)

Gorram. I get linked to a My Little Pony thing on Amazon one time...

@Scootaloo We are fully aware that this is the game being referred to, yes.

@RavenDreamer Quick! Delete it form your history! It may be too late!

12:20 AM

Though the MLP / 3DS RPG / LoL mashup is sort of artistic, in its own way.

@Coronus you can delete things from your amazon history?

@RavenDreamer I am more concerned as to why you are on Amazon to begin with.

@Scootaloo ...why not?

@RavenDreamer sometimes they overprice way things too often so I usually try to avoid buy from them.

most realistic is probably castle wolfenstein

you die in 3 seconds

Amazon.com micro-usb to usb price: $2.50.

OfficeDepot price: $15.99

The takeaway here is, shop around.

12:23 AM

@RavenDreamer Also you can remove "recommendations" by using the "Don't use for recommendations" option. amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/?nodeId=13316081

Slight sneaky side note: Anyone mind checking if I missed anything with this answer?

@RavenDreamer Like I said: "sometimes" not always. There is no way I'm paying more than $25 for a copy of Pokemon Emerald edtion.

@RavenDreamer Yeah, "Your Recommendations" has a history at the bottom of the page, with a link to edit it.

@Coronus Neat.

I just hate that they assume because I looked at something, or was looking at a price for someone, that I must be interested in it.

12:26 AM

@FEichinger Why did the developers add Redstone into the game? it doesn't seem to fit very well in my opinion.

@Scootaloo How am I supposed to know? Am I a mind-reader? I think I'm not. I mean, sometimes I have these-- No, I'm not.

redstone is for traps

@FEichinger Harsh. Anyway Redstone is fun to play with and making things with, but again it doesn't really fit.

and door chimes

"Why did the developers do X?" questions are pure speculation. I'm not big on speculation.

12:29 AM

unless there is a reddit AMA

@FEichinger Whats wrong with thinking outside of the box?

@FEichinger Can't you come in from opposite sides?

@Johann I think you've missed about 15 million possibilities...

@FEichinger Slightly related side side note: I've heard of people putting pistons against the wall, but I've read that they have to be facing me. Can I put a piston down facing another way?

@RavenDreamer Not if it's for a gate, where multiple double extenders would need to be lined up. I said that at the bottom of the post.

12:29 AM

I got the important ones

:)

@Coronus Uhm, what? Are you asking how to place a piston so it faces in the direction you want it to?

@FEichinger I don't think SE has this ability, but it would help if you had spoiler tags so we wouldn't have to scroll through those big images.

@FEichinger Yeah, that.

@FEichinger Hm. I swear that wasn't there when I first read it.

@Scootaloo SE has spoiler tags. They don't work like that, though.

@RavenDreamer It definitely was. I never edited it. :P

12:31 AM

@FEichinger ;)

But I planned on posting it before, with a solution that turned out to be utter bollocks.

Which is why it got so lengthy and theory-laden ...

@Johann You got everything that was possible in Beta 1.2. There's more to do with it now.

it was a joke

ha

Stare generator, activate! @origamirob

@Coronus The extending part always faces towards you. With proper placement of yourself, you can use a block to the side to attach a down-facing piston.

HI CHAT

HI PUPPET

@LessPop_MoreFizz Hey.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Hey, you're an audiophile, right?

LessPop_MoreFizz

12:33 AM

@RavenDreamer Eh, no, but only because I refuse to be associated with those people.

Eh, either way, Can you suggest a headset for someone with large ears?

user image

LessPop_MoreFizz

Wooden knobs do not make your stereo sound better goddamnit.

5

@RavenDreamer ... The size of your ears should have nothing to do with the sound quality of what you're listening to. If you have a good set of cans, the pads should be replacable though, and you should be able to adjust them to fit well.

user image

The issue is that wearing my current headphones makes my ears burn after ~10 minutes. The quality is fine. I just want something comfortable.

LessPop_MoreFizz

(This is a real thing that 'audiophiles' believe.)

12:36 AM

That's like... an aural version of homeopathy.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@RavenDreamer is the problem that the band is too tight around your head? Or is it the material of the pads or something?

Regardless, the point is: A good set of cans should be sufficiently adjustable to suit your needs.

Oh. You mean literal cans.

LessPop_MoreFizz

That said, you used the term 'headset' - are you specifically looking for something with a mic built in? Because if so, I can offer you no assistance. They are all garbage marketed to gamers based on LOUD BASS and features that have nothing to do with real audio quality.

I think it's mostly that my ears don't fit inside the space they're designed to fit. So I get all kinds of unnatural foam on ear action I don't want.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@RavenDreamer By 'cans' I mean over the ear headphones, typically of a studio monitor style.

12:38 AM

Oh. You mean figurative cans.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@RavenDreamer Yeah, get a set that you can get new pads for, and then replace the pads as needed.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, I need something with a mic for work.

EA's Reponse To Being Named 'The Worst Company in America'

The joys of talking to clients in Europe / Hongkong / Texas.

@Unionhawk Might wanna clarify that it's a fake. Not everyone seems to instantly get it.

12:40 AM

@Unionhawk reddit got to me first :)

LessPop_MoreFizz

@RavenDreamer Yeah, can't help you too much then. Look for something good enough to let you replace pads, then do so. Alternately, look into modding some new pads for yourself in a material that you might find more forgiving.

@RavenDreamer Also look for something with a more adjustable headband.

user43095

@Unionhawk Did you get that from Reddit?

@FEichinger True; people not buying their games won't work, as long as EA Sports exists

The problem, I think, is that there are very few places around that have headphones available to try on.

And whatnot

12:41 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz Do you still think I'm a spy?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@jeffreylin_ I dunno, are you still interested in stealing nuclear secrets?

@Unionhawk It would be the most appropriate response, and I just hope Moore pulls a "Yeh, well fuck you guys, I'm just gonna C&P this over, cause it's FRIGGIN' TRUE!", but I doubt it. But, as I said a couple of days ago, core gamers do not matter anymore.

user43095

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yes. And I see I have no choice. @Unionhawk GRAB HIM!

I am now confused

@jeffreylin_ You don't tell me what to do

Q: Spyro games avaliable on PS3?

Is there any good Spyro games availiable on the PS3 Console? I have heard of the very first games being avaliable but i have no idea where to get them. I don't like the skylanders series, i mean the trilogy or other games that are purely spyro games. What games are availiable on the PS3?

Thank you @Lazers for clearing the screen. Dangit it's back.

@Unionhawk I had to do that.

@RavenDreamer I don't know, I just hit 10k so I've been doing some sweet moderatin'

And more relevantly, if you give me the text, I'll "improve" it for you.

@Unionhawk 3 MV, 7 regular

@FEichinger That was beautiful.

Oops, too late. Someone beat you to it.

@RavenDreamer I just voted to approve the tag wiki excerpt for this, but I'd really like it to start with a capital letter

12:59 AM

@Johann do you ever stop complaining?

Dave McClelland

@Johann Every so often there will be some pretty major drama. I like to idle while such things are going on

@DaveMcClelland Like last night!

@DaveMcClelland Fun fact, you're talking to the reason of the most recent drama.

Major one, that is.

Dave McClelland

I must have missed something. To last night's logs!

@Johann No. It doesn't. I suggest you cut your losses and move on.

1:05 AM

yeah

@LessPop_MoreFizz What's a good headache remedy? Any suggestions? Does beer work?

how about headache medicine

@Fluttershy Beer is great.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Fluttershy Depends on cause of headache.

so why was gnomeslice banned

LessPop_MoreFizz

1:10 AM

Beer can be helpful.

Sometimes something stronger.

Sometimes coffee works best. Adding bourbon or rum optional.

I've tried aleve, lots of water, caffeine... None of those have helped. So it's not dehydration, lack of caffeine, or... whatever causes normal headaches.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

I'd think alcohol only helps with metaphorical headaches

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Johann Because he was dumb and liked to provoke people and was frequently disruptive in chat.

@Johann Please don't start this again.

and how did retrosaur get not banned

1:12 AM

34 secs ago, by Fluttershy

@Johann Please don't start this again.

sleep is good for a headache

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Johann He only ate a 30 minute ban. Gnome is serving a longer sentence in proportion to the severity and frequency of his transgressions.

there now can we move on

Yep... definitely gonna need alcohol...

...

1:14 AM

@Fluttershy If you've tried Aleve, you might want to try Aleeve also. Aleve is the cheap, knockoff stuff.

sinuses perhaps

is it a pinching headache

Dave McClelland

God almighty, I wish SE would allow you to view chat log timestamps in localized time

@DaveMcClelland There's probably a UserScript for that.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@FEichinger Fuck userscripts.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@DaveMcClelland I can try to fix that, with a userscript @FEichinger yeah

LessPop_MoreFizz

1:16 AM

Userscripts are a pain in the ass. I access SE from 6 different devices. I can use a userscript on two of them.

Dave McClelland

But it shouldn't have to be done with a userscript - why the hell isn't it supported natively?

@LessPop_MoreFizz Hey, I hate them as well. But it probably exists already.

@RavenDreamer ...what?

Dave McClelland

I can view chat timestamps of the current chat log in localized time. Why does everything go ass backwards whenever I'm looking at previous logs?

@DaveMcClelland Because it's easier to code.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@FEichinger But it isn't. They've got localization code everywhere already, including on chat, they just don't use it when displaying historical logs

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I'm working on it! Also, I had no idea you could have a link to the ask page with prepopulated tags. That's rad

When in chat, time is displayed in a localized format. This is nice - I know what time it is where I am. When looking at transcripts, though, the site displays them in system time.

hopefully some interesting answers

Dave McClelland

Also, I just used gimp to add the freehand circle to the image I just added to that question. That's some serious damn overkill

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@DaveMcClelland If you're on Windows snipping tool comes with drawing facilities

Dave McClelland

1:35 AM

@Johann Do you consider scripting languages programming languages? I feel like that's cheating

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I actually used the snipping tool, saved it, then edited in gimp. I'm pretty special :/

@Johann That's more of a philosophical question about the very definition of "use" and "programming language".

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@DaveMcClelland I would take a screenshot to show you, but I don't think you can use snipping tool to take a screenshot of snipping tool

Technically, every programmer uses some form of Assembly code, which kinda defeats the purpose of the question.

does anyone use C
