@SaintWacko :(
 
@badp IF you click "guide" it should leave the sidebar on
Also I thought it only did that on Watch pages
no sidebar doesn't make sense for normal pages
 
@BenBrocka nope
 
@Wipqozn Meat Boy is a flash game.
 
I mean, I can click on it and it shows reacting to clicks but...
 
@GnomeSlice That's why I said shitty flash games.
 
5:01 PM
What looks shitty about it?
 
@GnomeSlice It looks bland and unoriginal.
Something that's been done a 100 times before, but they just slapped a new theme onto it to make some quick cash.
 
How much innovation can you expect for $1
Milkstone is good at making great games out of existing ideas.
 
@GnomeSlice The fact that it's $1 doesn't suddenly make it a good game.
 
For super cheap, I can't complain.
@Wipqozn I fail to see why it's a bad game to begin with, but okay.
 
@Wipqozn Euro Truck 2
 
5:03 PM
@OrigamiRobot Except that's not terrible.
They actually a lot of time and effort into that gam.
 
How about that one then.
That game is excellent.
I like Milkstone, their games have a nice quality feel for cheap. Even if a lot of them are 'clones' of other titles. Usually they put enough effort into them that they're pretty great.
As I said before though the Binding of Isaac one is pretty bad
Wow, 494 thumbs down
However they approached it pretty appropriately, so bonus points for that: milkstonestudios.com/2012/07/sushimageddon
chatkill
Also, Santa Ragione is starting preorders for their next game, Mirror Moon EP
Looks pretty amazing.
 
@fredley I had it preordered, but I had wanted to use it as a media console, and when I discovered I wouldn't be able to get Netflix on it, my interest waned
 
@SaintWacko Looks possible, if you have another server running, which you probably don't

Q: Is it possible to spoof 3DS StreetPasses?

Pico RileyWith the addition of StreetPass Relay Points, you can now go to a Nintendo Zone and swap Mii's with the relay point. This new feature sparked my curiosity, and I began to wonder if you could send fake StreetPass data to a 3DS using a computer that pretends to be a 3DS. I've done a bit of researc...

Q: Fullscreen crash

dabestminecraftplayaSo today I was playing minecraft and I wanted to try out fullscreen mode and it crashed! Now every time I open minecraft it crashes and it says java is not responding. How do I take fullscreen mode off without going on minecraft?

 
@GnomeSlice It's just a matter of opinion.
 
I guess.
You're right, sorry.
 
NOW HUG
Also, my final exam ever is tomorrow. I'll finally be done school.
Well, unless I go back for a masters at some point. Which I might do.
 
@Krazer Yeah, saw that earlier.
That will be a pretty fantastic game I'll never be able to play.
I mean unless Capcom imports it, but I have my doubts.
 
5:26 PM
@Wipqozn I'd buy a new 3ds if it comes out here
 
MH3U was one of Capcoms big sellers in NA for the year, so they damn well should. but Capcom is literally Hitler, so who knows.
 
GameJolt is the best thing
 
@Krazer I thought you already owned a 3DS?
 
@Wipqozn i dunno feels more Stalin
@Wipqozn yes, but I'd buy a MH bundle 3ds
 
@RedRiderX Hey, you around?
 
5:27 PM
@Krazer Did you ever wind up playing MH3U?
@fbueckert I've been getting the itch to whip out the SNS again,
 
What?
 
@RedRiderX that's unsettling
Up for some atWar?
 
@GnomeSlice Why?
 
Also what did your friend think of it?
@RedRiderX I dunno.
 
@GnomeSlice Sorry, not available for that atm.
 
5:29 PM
@Wipqozn a bit, but not a whole lot (need to catch up on that)
 
@Krazer Did you buy it on WiiU or 3DS? I can't remember.
 
@GnomeSlice I think they'll be up for playing more sometime.
 
@Wipqozn Wii-U, haven't had much time to play on it cuz of work
 
@Krazer Okay, yeah, I thought so. I couldn't remember for certain if it was you that bought the WiiU and dind't open it for awhile.
 
@Wipqozn in was indeed, shame on me!
I need to get on that and Pikmin 3
 
5:32 PM
@Krazer You do! Pikmin 3 is fantastic.
 
@Wipqozn yes I've heard, but I need to better manage my backlog of games, they're piling up :O!
 
@Krazer YEah, backlogs are the worst.
Companies need to stop making games.
 
I've given up trying to play all the games I want to play
 
@badp Dang, he made "Invalid Issuing City" a lot more common, it feels.
 
@GnomeSlice Yeah, same.
It's just not going to happen.
 
5:35 PM
I don't even keep a list any more.
If I forget about a game then I probably didn't want to play it enough for it to matter anyway.
 
Maybe when I'm super old and all the modern games make me scowl "damn kids these days! BACK IN MY DAY!" I'll get to all the games in my backlog.
 
@FEichinger I get "No discrepancy" when attempting to match "Foreigners must have an entry permit"
 
@badp You match the rule to the empty desk, yes?
 
oh right
 
5:36 PM
Oh right, I forgot Papers, Please! was out.
 
I'm already save scumming anyway :P
 
@Powerlord It has been out for a little while.
Steam version unlocked today though
 
@GnomeSlice Actually no. I bought it direct from the developer and unlocked a hour ago or so
 
Even on the humble store?
 
yes
 
5:39 PM
Oh, cool, they matched them up.
My mistake then
 
Interesting fact: you can use Microsoft's Skype service for free on a PlayStation Vita but not an XBOX ONE.
 
@BenBrocka #xboned ~
 
@BenBrocka Note the distinctive lack of PS4 in that statement.
 
@Powerlord Well it's a parody account. Dont' think Skype for PS4 is even announced/confirmed yet
 
@BenBrocka I wasn't aware that it was a parody account.
 
5:44 PM
So far I think only their portables have had skype. PSP had skype too, not sure PS3 does
 
And did you forgot the sharing video Sony cooked up? It sounds like something they'd legitimately say.
So many games I want to play coming out in the next 7 days.
Papers, Please!, DuckTales Remastered, and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
 
That's three
 
@GnomeSlice Yeah, but 3 in 7 days is still a lot.
 
I s'pose
 
and technically it's 3 in 5 days since they're all out by Monday.
 
5:50 PM
@Powerlord 5.5 days
Depending on how late you stay up
 
@badp Tsk!
 
@OrigamiRobot Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. Where are you getting the .5?
 
@Powerlord Oh I misread what you meant.
I though there were three games coming out on Monday that you wanted to play next week.
I don't know why that made sense to me.
 
If you say so, game. If you say so.
 
6:03 PM
@badp It doesn't count the hair, afaik.
 
Shave everyone bald to make the game easier

Q: Minecraft - Nether portals exiting into a different location

Leo KingI've been having issues with a Nether portal - when I build the portal and enter the Nether, everything is fine. The portal is in the right location, I've checked the overworld coordinates, divided them by 8, and they match up to the coordinates in the Nether. Except when I exit the Nether, it ta...

Q: How do you remove hearthfire wings?

Sk8ernate88would you be so kind as to tell me the exact commands i need to use to you remove the kitchen from my house in falkreath? I can't figure it out.

 
oh, penalties now ramp up
3 are $20 instead of $15
@FEichinger Check the Humble Weekly Sale
 
What happens if you let 'em in with a fake passport/
 
@badp Oooooh, Introversion :D
@BenBrocka Penalty.
 
6:16 PM
Mistakes cost $0, $0, $5, $5, $10...
 
It's only been an hour since lunch and I'm hungry again already. >:|
 
Is that game actually entertaining?
It seems akin to garbage truck simulator
Or street sweeper simulator
 
@Powerlord I hate when that happens.
 
@Powerlord what was for lunch?
 
I like that if you stamp both accepted and declined it counts as declined
 
6:19 PM
@SaintWacko Yes... mainly because it gets more difficult as you go.

Motocross

Proposed Q&A site for motocross racers

Currently in definition.

 
You have to watch very carefully.
 
So you can approve first and decline later if needs be
 
Although I'm not pleased about @FEichinger's comment about issueing city.
 
might be faster
 
@Powerlord I can't repro
 
Issueing city is one of the harder ones to check unless you manage to remember all the cities in all the countries in the game.
 
Is Papers, Please just a "play until you lose" game, or can you "win"?
 
It's got a story and an endless mode
 
6:23 PM
@StrixVaria You can win... and the dev claims there are like 20 different endings. Of course, those include the losing endings...
 
Actually, a story mode for that sounds pretty interesting.
 
Or was it 10? I'm sure papersplea.se is blocked at work
 
I'm trying to figure out what I could have bought from 'WORLDWINNER' on my credit card that I would actually want.
Apparently I spent $10.
 
@StrixVaria I thought you said it was a boring-ass simulation
 
ooooh
This is new
 
6:27 PM
@badp Of course it is, the final game is going to have things not in the demo. ;P
 
Does it allow you to violate more human rights?
 
@BenBrocka I assume so!
 
@Powerlord but it comes up in the span of time covered by the demo!
@BenBrocka yes: you can violate them faster.
 
@StrixVaria Well, based on the name and a quick visit to the site I think you've been scammed somehow.
That site looks shifty as fuck.
 
@Wipqozn My card is already frozen and it's being counted as fraud.
I'm just trying to think if it could have been legitimate.
 
6:30 PM
@StrixVaria I'd be worried that they're going to visit you in your sleep to harvest your organs.
 
@Wipqozn I should probably move.
 
@StrixVaria Run. RUN! RUN!!!!
 
@StrixVaria Come to Nova Scotia!
 
 
6:34 PM
yet I approved him just fine
 
@OrigamiRobot I have no idea what they're saying.
I can't tell if they're speaking a non-English language or if they're so drunk they're slurring their words.
 
@badp 92? Where are you getting 92 from?
 
@Wipqozn RACIST
 
s/92/82/g
s/93/83/g
 
Anyway, the point is that 11.28.82 and 12.01.83 is only slightly longer than one year, so I'm not sure why that's a problem.
Although I do wonder why they chose to use U.S. date format on that screen.
Well, other than the implication that this is what the U.S. will eventually be like.
 
6:40 PM
You can actually choose which one to use
and for some reason I picked m/d/y, no idea why
@StrixVaria I got used to it with the demo anyway
 
user20683
@badp with regards to earlier, Jamestown goes Bullet Hell on Higher Difficulties. Divine is one thing, Judgement though...FUUUUUUU
 
@WorldEngineer Oh, interesting
Bullet hell with proper patterns though or do they just barf out bullets?
 
@badp Because it is superior.
 
@StrixVaria That is no way or shape possible
 
@BenBrocka There are some that are kind of barfy but I think there's an underlying pattern in most cases.
 
6:42 PM
switched to year-month-date out of spite
 
user20683
@BenBrocka Let me get a pic
 
@badp This is actually the best, least ambiguous way to do it.
watches someone use year-date-month
 
@StrixVaria 04/05/06
 
Well if you're being intentionally vague, of course you can make it bad.
But with a 4-digit year, it's generally safe to assume that if the year comes first, the month follows.
 
@badp 2004/05/06? OK!
 
6:43 PM
Except when people are trying to piss off everybody.
 
@Powerlord Tricked! It was 2004 B.C. all along!
 
@badp I never specified A.D. or B.C... you made that judgement. :P
 
@badp Honestly, though, it's because that's how we say dates also. Today is "August 8, 2013". So that's why we put the numbers in that order.
Although 8/8 isn't the best example.
 
"8 Agosto 2013"
 
well, we say August 8, or 8 of August... it's kinda interchangable

Q: Can play multiplayer one way but not the other

jerearl ramseyI've got Minecraft Pocket Edition 0.7.2. My multiplayer won't work. My friend and I have the full version, the same game version, and the same Android phone. I can play on my friend's world easily, but he can't play on my world. Why is that?

Q: Is there a trick to cat jumping sideways?

KenI'm playing Okami and in "Inner Yoshpet" there's a pit you have to cross with catprints across the sides. I don't see a cat statue, and I've managed to stick to the wall sometimes, so I assume that this is an area of permanent catprints that I don't need to brush myself. But I'm having no luck ...

 
@Sconibulus I mean, "8 of August" would be understood where I am, but I've never actually heard anyone say it that way.
 
> When you're dying of malaria, I suppose you'll look up and see that [Internet] balloon, and I'm not sure how it'll help you,
-- Bill Gates, talking about Google's Internet blimps and the Gates Foundation's vaccination project.
 
You know he has a point.
 
Because the internet is totally useless for healthcare, emergency services, disease control...
 
@StrixVaria Really? Fourth of July.
 
6:48 PM
@Sconibulus That is the only exception, for that specific date.
It sounds archaic to say it that way for any arbitrary date.
 
Huh, I hear it phrased that way probably about 30% of the time
 
@Sconibulus Where are you located?
 
VA, near Richmond
 
I was going to guess "the south".
Based only on that one phrase.
 
I live in central Michigan and I definitely don't normally hear dates given day first.
 
6:50 PM
what about you?
 
@StrixVaria Nobody here says it that way.
 
I'm in NJ, near NYC.
@OrigamiRobot "the south" is a big place.
 
Fuuuu-
McAfee wants to run a virus scan
 
@StrixVaria That's my point.
 
Goodbye to all of my ram
 
6:50 PM
@SaintWacko Uninstall.
 
@StrixVaria work computer
 
Replace with anything else ever.
 
Believe me, It's my absolute last personal choice
 
@SaintWacko Stall!
 
@SaintWacko Worst IT department ever.
 
6:51 PM
@StrixVaria I work for HP
Big company, lots of policies
 
But yeah, why is it running a scan in the middle of the work day?
 
Because that's what it does
 
No idea
 
@SaintWacko How can HP have such a bad IT department?
 
@GnomeSlice Which leads back around to what @StrixVaria said about Worst IT department ever.
 
6:52 PM
@Powerlord Because some people turn off their computers. Silly people.
 
@OrigamiRobot That is silly.
I'm instructed to leave mine on when I'm not using it because they do backups, virus scans, and push updates after hours.
 
@StrixVaria They probably get a special deal on McAfee
@Powerlord We have laptops
That we dock during the day
 
@SaintWacko MSE is free.
 
and take home at night
 
I leave mine on so I can easily pick up my work where I left it the previous day.
 
6:53 PM
@StrixVaria Yeah, but McAfee advertises
 
@OrigamiRobot You are melting icecaps with your laziness
 
@StrixVaria Not for corporations.
 
@Powerlord I did think of this after I said that.
 
@SaintWacko That's a nice ad you're running there! :P
 
Even so, you'd think HP would know WTF is going on with technology.
 
6:54 PM
At any rate, MSE is not nearly enterprisey enough
 
@badp Exactly
 
@badp Enterprise companies can't use software unless it's bloaty.
 
Microsoft wants you to use this for more than 10 computers.
 
You need to execute remote scans, see results remotely, remotely disable computers, etc.
 
@fredley I don't care. You are a porkchop.
 
6:54 PM
The most annoying thing with IT is something that's supposed to help
I VPN into another network fairly often, and each network uses a different Proxy AutoConfig script
 
@fredley I leave my home machine on for no reason
 
@OrigamiRobot I shut my home machine off because it was having issues with its CPU cooler just recently.
 
I put mine in sleep mode whevener I stand up, pretty much.
 
So in order the make it easy to switch, I used wget to download both the scripts from where they're hosted, combined them into a single script which uses the current IP address to decide which section to use
 
Which I've since fixed although now one of the other fans has issues.
I got a new fan, I should put it in at some point.
 
6:56 PM
@Ullallulloo I have never had a good experience with this
 
But IT implemented something where one of the proxies automatically changes the script location, so it still screws me up
 
@OrigamiRobot But electric bills.
 
@SaintWacko AVG asks me to delete cmd.exe every once in a while when I use VNC
2
 
@BenBrocka Haha
 
Although my parents actually pay for that.
 
6:58 PM
@SaintWacko yessssss
You certainly can't power through Papers Please.
If you're aiming for a good ending anyway
 
@Ullallulloo $9.18 per month difference.
 
@Powerlord have you also been getting phantom comment notifications?
