Q: My Minecraft WILL NOT work

I just purchased a new account today. Got on an realized I needed to update, so I redownloaded the game, and now. My account won't get passed the launcher, it will look like it's working then go back to the launcher page. I've tried reseting it, I've deleted it, reinstalled it. I'm really frsutra...

@less which begs the question, where are our Sonac pj selfies?

@FAE the idea is that I wouldn't be able to get out of the parking lot

TIL There's plans for a 3rd Bill & Ted movie.

And the tentative movie poster looks like a Doctor Who teaser.

And I'd be able to catch up on TV, YouTube, and recording.

@MBraedley You could stay inside and have a cozy day.

12:09 AM

That was the idea, but as I said, I don't think there'll be enough snow on the ground to justify it. I also should save vacation days for the summer when my system gets married

user image

Yeah, that looks nasty

@MBraedley Wait, your system?

checks to see how much it's still snowing

*sister

Ah, okay. I figured as much, just wanted to be sure.

@TimStone it looks like it's mostly missing you. The system will be tracking north, straight at me.

Ouch. We've gotten a reasonable amount of snow, which is nice. I do like the prospect of being able to actually go places tomorrow though, heh.

12:22 AM

If i had a dollar for how many "Minecraft doesn't work" or "how do i make a minecraft server" questions..

@Brian You'd have a lot of dollars?

Millions!

Is there a way to filter question title and not allow "how to" + "minecraft server" and "Minecraft" + "not work"

@Brian Ignore minecraft works.

@Yuki that helps me but not the poor souls having to close all the questions

I managed to miss three calls while gaming. Not sure how I did that.

Q: My GTA 5 just stopped working

My GTA 5 just stopped working. I'm already halfway finished with the game, and now all of a sudden, it just stops working. I tried reinstalling it, but that didn't work. It keeps coming up as an unrecognized disc. Plus, it's a brand new game so I don't get why this is happening in the first place.

@JeffreyLin Disappointed it's not an infinite loop.

@FEichinger It is.

@FEichinger It is.

@RedRiderX Not purely!

12:55 AM

How not purely?

it goes around and around

But it also has information bits in there!

That's so not-MSO.

Heh

@FEichinger But... not more details.

Woo got to the final temple in Guacamelee despite terrible platforming controls.

Valve's beta patch notes casually mention minor feature : "Added support for streaming non-Steam games"

1:10 AM

@badp watches @gnomeslice go out of his mind

For some reason I didn't see that one coming

In retrospect it's rather obvious.

user20683

@badp what exactly do they mean? Streaming how?

@world I suppose à la Chrome Remote Desktop

user20683

@badp oh, like Gametap?

Note sure what that one is

but still. Origin games on a Steam box... EA will be happy :D

I wonder if they won't try and block them or something.

1:16 AM

@badp Steam has support for streaming?

Oh wait, streaming to other PCs... I vaguely remember hearing that somewhere.

@StrixVaria Oh, so it's a short game then?

You haven't been playing it for long...

@GnomeSlice A few hours.

It's a fine length for what I spent on it, which was like $3-$4

Plus I'm not even attempting to collect things.

There are a lot of puzzle/challenge rooms I enter and just leave without attempting.

Huh.

Well, I don't mind short games.

I cannot find a link anywhere on the site that goes to the page that lists our current mods.

It's going to be so obvious once someone points it out, I'm sure.

@StrixVaria users > moderators

user15026

@StrixVaria The users page should have a link on it near the top that says "moderators" or something of that ilk

1:27 AM

@StrixVaria gaming.stackexchange.com/users?tab=moderators

Found it.

Of course.

As soon as I said something.

Is GraceNote not actually a gaming mod?

I... huh.

user15026

@GnomeSlice @GraceNote is a CM, and has been for a while. Was a mod before that though, I think.

@GnomeSlice Yeah GraceNote got upgraded.

I was a pro tem that got elected on the first election, then half a year later I got hired.

Anna Lear and I are basically part of the crew here, though.

I think Abby pokes around here often too.

I just submitted this to gemsfromstackexchange.tumblr.com

@Fluttershy You may be interested in this.

how did I miss this?

user20683

@MBraedley wow

@MBraedley I don't know. It was posted here, like, at least twice.

@MBraedley I remember that one.

user20683

just wow

@GnomeSlice You better get your act together or TheTeddyBear will come and give you some TLC.

Oh my.

Is it a bad sign when they don't give specifics?

user15026

@MBraedley I read it as "we dont know what is coming but we know it is going to really, really suck".

Q: XBOX replacement DVD Rom drive

You had posted back in 2012 telling someone how they would go about replacing the DVD drive. My friend purchased a drive, but we didn't realize we needed the connectivity kit to actually replace the key codes. Can you, by any chance, send instructions on how to use the kit. I plan on buying on...

Q: How to breed winter dragon

I've been trying to breed a winter dragon for a month using various combos cold, erstwhile and air. Are there combos that have better chances?

@Krazer I...

I

wow

@RedRiderX There are no words. Don't even try.

> You had posted back in 2012

...?

I did?

I don't remember that

I'm gonna go with spam ...?

@Ktash yeah, I was thinking something similar. But I don't think it's actually spam.

2:16 AM

I was thinking "collecting email addresses" spam rather than "advertising something" spam

Even if it is not, it isn't a helpful post, or one that can be reasonably answered in it's current form

Q: Which symbol represents which AI?

Its been a while since I played Space Rangers 2 and now I'm playing the HD remake. I don't exactly remember which symbol represented which of the 3 AI factions. They factions are: Kelleroid Blazeroid Terronoid I have a Transfactorial Beacon that can summon Kelleroids and I want to do it in ...

Q: whars the mega stones in pokemon Y

have beaten the Pokemon Y game. I have the upgrade and I've beaten my rivel but the hidden mega stones still aren't appearing 8 pm to 9 pm. how do i get them???

Also, dupe and dupe?

user15026

@Ktash I'd say yes, if it isn't really a spam thing.

user15026

It's not really raising my OMG SPAM mental flags, though

user15026

so I'd say dupe and close

2:30 AM

Doing panel line washing is rough.

user15026

@Frank I assume this has something to do with painting models?

@AshleyNunn It does, indeed.

Some of it turned out pretty good, and some of it is bloody messy.

I think my paintbrush is too thick.

Q: Are Gamecube discs the same size as standard mini-dvds?

Recently, the number of game cases on my shelf has gotten to the point that it's becoming inconvenient to go through them to find games, so I've recently been moving away from using the original cases, going for the cases that can hold a ton of games. For most consoles, this isn't a problem, as ...

it's not actually about gaming

user15026

@RavenDreamer I don't know why I can't stop laughing at this

user15026

It is just so awesome

@RavenDreamer That's so adorable.

@RavenDreamer I want one!!!!!!!!!

@Frank / @Yuki Either of you want to do some MH3U Arena quests? I ahven't done any of the 2-person fights yet.

2:33 AM

@RavenDreamer I'd be up for some of that, sure.

Flipboard seems neat

Can you put rss feeds into it?

@spugsley I dunno, he's concerned about fitting them into CD sleeves. Seems like a question about game disc storage is on-topic to me.

@GnomeSlice okay then :) I wasn't really sure. It seemed like a weird question for the site imo. But if others disagree, that's cool too

@spugsley I'm usually wrong about such things, perhaps I'm not the best to ask.

2:43 AM

@GnomeSlice well, I'll leave my close on there and let others decide

@RedRiderX Looks like it.

@GnomeSlice I'm kind of inclined to agree with you on this one, believe it or not. <_< But I've also been wrong several times before.

Maybe the title could be a little better.

I just added the Recent Questions feed.

2:44 AM

@Frank Is that a euphemism?

sanctuaryrpg.com/index.php

@Fluttershy I can't remember the last time @Frank used a euphemism.

@GnomeSlice Your comment on his question serves only to confuse at the moment. No one's commented saying it was off-topic or anything. <_<

@Yuki I would love to hear @Frank use a euphemism

> (Also, the relationship of this question to gaming is, admittedly, tenuous at best, so if somewhere more appropriate for this question, let me know.)

2:45 AM

it would be hilarious

In the bottom of the question.

@GnomeSlice Ah! I didn't see that. I was looking in the comments. Carry on. >_> Nothing to see here.

Final boss of Guacamelee is dumb.

I'm content not technically finishing the game.

Re: relationship to gaming, I think you're okay, I don't see why this should be off-topic. You're asking about game-disc storage. — GnomeSlice 2 mins ago

@Fluttershy There, that's better I think.

@Yuki really?

How?

Q: Is there a term for speedruns which don't use glitches or sequence breaks?

Sorry, I've never really followed speedrunning, so I apologize if this is obvious. Essentially, what I'm asking about are speedruns that simply play the game as it was intended to be played (no glitches, proper order / sequence), but quickly.

Q: How do you kill the final boss of Guacamelee?

This Skeleton Face Guy (Caraca?) instantly owns me. Here's the list of things that you have to deal with all at once in this battle: He only telegraphs his upcoming attack a few frames before it lands. I have not yet been able to determine how to dodge any of his attacks, even if I could figur...

@Fluttershy

Oh

@StrixVaria I haven't actually beaten it yet! x_x I got distracted by other games.

Okay thanks

@Fluttershy Bah.

Well the fight is stupid.

Oh gosh I have to do it one by one

Hrm

@StrixVaria I'm sorry. :( I'd help if I could!

@StrixVaria Telegraph?

@GnomeSlice Do you not play games with boss fights?

3:03 AM

@Fluttershy Like Valdis Story

@RedRiderX Yeah, that's the sucky part.

@StrixVaria I do, but I still haven't heard that term.

When the boss does some kind of specific windup so you can predict what move is coming and prepare accordingly.

Who calls that a telegraph

And I can't do this copy paste job on a desktop?

3:04 AM

I have literally never heard that.

TIL

There is a word for that, but now you have me doubting that I picked the right one.

@RedRiderX What do you mean? I can copy-paste on my phone.

Hi

user15026

@StrixVaria Pretty sure you picked the right word

@StrixVaria Tell?

3:09 AM

@OrigamiRobot I guess that works too, but that word is used more for Poker than Video Games.

Telegraph is right

Cool. I didn't know that.

@StrixVaria Tell is the noun I'd use. Telegraph is the verb.

@OrigamiRobot That actually sounds about right.

Unrelated, this game looks like a pretty weird 'bullet hell'... thing.

3:11 AM

@Yuki well, I have a lot of feeds to enter

Deadpool or Valdis Story next (@GnomeSlice's vote doesn't count)

@StrixVaria Valdis Story.

Q: How to capture a screenshot without my own character in the picture?

Normal screenshot. Without player character. (For example, I didn't own this image) I love these screenshot. How can I capture screenshot like those picture?

It's shorter than deadpool

I can't help but feel that it would be faster on a desktop

3:11 AM

I think

@StrixVaria Just watch Hulk vs Wolverine and skip Deadpool.

@spugsley I don't use euphemisms often. But I will see what I can do to satisfy you.

3:25 AM

@Frank :o

you are my new favorite person

@Frank By the way, have you been able to get your hands on Chroma Squad yet?

@GnomeSlice No beta yet.

No update on when we're getting it, either.

Supposed to be end of this month, so sometime soon.

Ah. Is there an expected date for that?

Oh, sweet.

You backed it, right?

@GnomeSlice Indeed I did.

Probably for more than I should have, but I'm a sucker for Power Rangers-type stuff.

It's looking really promising.

3:29 AM

@GnomeSlice I like what they're doing with the tactical battle system.

I haven't seen it in much detail, what's special about it?

@GnomeSlice kickstarter.com/projects/1893273284/…

Check out their latest update.

It's not only for backers.

@spugsley On the other hand, I am a master of innuendo.

@Frank Oh, whoa, that sounds awesome.

Neither of the two games I've kickstarted seem to be even close to on schedule.

@Frank oh really :3

@StrixVaria Etrian Odyssey IV or Etrian Odssey Untold.

Those are games I plan to play on the train.

Most of it is usually not appropriate for Bridge talk, though.

King.com (Candy Crush Saga) is going after The Banner Saga

3:33 AM

@StrixVaria Europa Universalis IV.

@RedRiderX Of course they are.

@RedRiderX repost pretty sure

And yeah that's ridiculous.

@RedRiderX no space

Now that they've trademarked the most generic word ever, it's time to eliminate competition.

@GnomeSlice wasn't that them trademarking "candy"?

@Wipqozn I probably won't get to these soon, though.

CC @RedRiderX

Oh nvm then

Doesn't matter though.

That's the dumbest thing ever.

3:35 AM

Ugh mobile why you do dis?

@StrixVaria That is an acceptable excuse.

@RedRiderX They're idiots. There's already a precedence for developers being unable to "claim" words like that. See: Bethesda v. Mojang.

@spugsley :o

Q: Does changing main resource amount change the corresponding resource amount for Caves and Ruins?

Because Caves and Ruins basically have reskins of the main world resources (rocks, grass, twig bushes, etc), I figured they might also change in number when changing the amount of normal (main map) resources generated in landgen options when you create a new world. Is that so?

@Ktash usually the most recent innuedo-er is my favorite person. :p

3:45 AM

@spugsley Clearly our time together means nothing to you. Goodday to you.

I said goodday!

Oh snap.

No worries, @spugsley; I'll keep you happy.
