Q: How do I know by looking at the Wii game case which type of controllers are necessary/optional and in what quantities?

user2297312I Have a game with a picture of a nunchuck, but it isn't required. Furthermore, it doesn't say how many you CAN use. I was led to believe that to play two players I needed two nunchucks and that wasn't the case. I am trying to avoid this in future purchases and I hope the case has the information...

Q: minecraft GUI scale problem

Neon_Toasteri have been playing minecraft and of course i always go into the settings to see what can be changed. i was in display and i saw the GUI scale was set to auto which was a fairly large screen that i liked. so i cycled through the scales until i got back to auto. then the screen was stuck on the ...

 
@Yuki Which one makes you a sunbro?
 
@Fluttershy Heirs of the Sun.
Warriors of Sunlight for Dark Souls 1.
 
12:37 AM
tl;dr: Apple did not get the 2 billion they wanted.
 
they 'won' a reasonable amount of money
 
Yeah, but they probably spent about that battling this thing.
 
@Unionhawk Probably more than that.
 
@Yuki I hope so. That would be hilarious.
Apple totally smashing their face against a wall, and Samsung (apparently) having Google help out with the legal fees.
 
@Unionhawk Not to mention Samsung counter-sued and gave such a lowball estimate for damages in comparison to Apple.
 
12:48 AM
That was brilliant. Because it basically told the jury that "no, most of the time, the person on the giving end of a patent deal does not ask $40 per device for 5 patents or so."
 
I was that guy's squad leader during AIT when I was in the army.
 
@Fluttershy this is really neat

Q: My cells are saying that they arent enclosed

idontnowwhoSo I build my cells like I've done before but they don't seem to work, it says they've not been enclosed but they have. I don't know what to do, I destroyed and rebuilt them and nothing happens.

 
1:27 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yes
The highlight so far was Billy Bob taking a shit.
And I don't mean that in a bad way.
Wow, that was a lot of dumb flags all at once.
 
I learned a new fancy emoticon! \('u ' )z
Whoops, forgot about escaping.
 
@sterno I rather liked billy bob filling a hot water tank with blood also.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yes, but many actors could pull that off. Not so many could pull off that dump.
 
True. The dump was pretty great.
The plop sound effect was well timed.
 
1:36 AM
Emmys all around
The Outstanding Sound Effects award goes to...
The only downside so far is that I can't not hear Saul Goodman.
 
Awesome. I'm just going to pretend it's the same bear.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz clickbait
</tongueincheek>
 
I like how the parent bear is just like "Fuck you, I'm outta here, don't be late for dinner and try not to die."
 
@Sterno sounds like quality parenting.
@Sterno in other news, did you hear the first Saul Goodman show casting announcement?
MICHAEL MCKEAN.
 
1:59 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Also, why is this pinned?
As interesting as the article is, I don't think it's the type of thing we usually pin (silly messages, Stack Exchange news, and important gaming-related news).
And fairly important time-sensitive stuff too, I guess.
 
2:16 AM
@yuki hi you must be new here. (I pin stuff I find especially interesting and/or valuable all the time and have been engaging in such abuse of power on occasion for years.)
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz sure you don't want to pin this too?
 
@RedRiderX SQUIB AND PUMKIN
 
@GnomeSlice it was a very difficult choice.
 
Even I would probably abuse it less than you do.

steam is dowwwwn
If we are claiming games are a medium, a medium has room for both a Call of Duty and a Cart Life.
I hope the new call of duty has a scene where kevin spacey ends up in space and he forgets his keys and he's like man i sure am spacey
 
@GnomeSlice That's probably not saying a whole lot tbh
Feb 27 at 3:25, by Unionhawk
(protip! You can know who pinned a message by looking at its history. Or you can just assume LessPop did it. That also usually works.)
 
@GnomeSlice I would like you to know that, as a refined person of taste, I appreciate that you deleted that deleted message.
 
Me too
 
It was very very dumb.

Q: What is the Trigger for Biota Attacks in Alien Legacy?

Colyn1337In the DOS game Alien Legacy the native biota eventually attack the player on two planets. There seems to be a trigger, number of triggers, or a random chance. Does anyone know for sure and what the trigger might be?

 
@LessPop_MoreFizz You already know I am not a refined person and I have no taste
 
@GnomeSlice Which is why I appreciate your recognition of that fact, and ensuing restraint!

bundled up how?

playing games remotely... that's a lot of bandwidth
 
I just want to pay x$ monthly to get a stream of bytes from and to the computers of my choosing. How hard can it be?
 
@badp You can still do that! The bytes will just take longer than FedEx for the same distance.
 
also the sad tweet of the yesterday award goes to:
@badp Surprisingly good price on that mobo BTW...I think that's my exact/slightly different model, I paid more in USD than you will in euros
yey a slightly better deal than 1$ = 1€
(nevermind the fact that Ben's build was n months ago, so the value of $ has decreased since then, plus the exchange rate has changed, plus the price tag has changed)
(I don't know what n was)
actually is there a website that does conversions of the "1.00 $ in 2010 is worth how many of today's euros?" kind?
so 2010 $ → 2010 € → 2013 €
I thought the "2010 € → 2013 €" was called actualization but google disagrees

@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't know. Because I'm scared I guess.
I graduated this month last year.
I haven't worked
I haven't done anything to improve my skills
I'm a fucking idiot
 
@GnomeSlice You can do something about two out of three of those, and the third will come if you take care of the other two, though it might be frustrating and take much longer than you think it ought to.
Well, that's not fair; you'll always feel like you're a fucking idiot. That's okay. You just need to ignore that and assume that nobody else realizes it. Because they probably don't.
So, you can take care of one out of three.
You can ignore one out of three.
And if you can take care of the one, and ignore the other, the third will come on it's own with a bit of effort and time.
So go forth and improve thy skills.
 
I think I'm going to take drum lessons again
and actually put effort into it
My dad is telling me
he said the main reason he wanted me to play my drums every day for last year
is because he wanted me to see that I can improve over time at shit
and I didn't even play them
And now I feel stupid
I put like 100 hours into dark souls wtf is wrong with me
 
@GnomeSlice Hint: You probably learned the same lesson from Dark Souls; now apply it to productive shit.

Technical support is the worst
Now the only internet I have is on my phone
Actually, that's not fair, I didn't have internet before calling technical support
 
@MBraedley Of course this stuff happens on a Saturday

The earliest a tech can come by (which will be useless) is tomorrow afternoon
And I was planning on catching up on a bunch of YouTube too
@fredley feature request: show more than 3 stars in ChatSEy sidebar
 
Is there a "marketing" expression in English for "stuff that's locally produced"
We use "kilometro zero" [zero kilometers] for that, so a zero kilometers pizza would use flour, water, tomatoes, etc. strictly from the whereabouts of where you're eating them
 
@badp Yes, but it escapes me right now.
 
3:56 PM
@GnomeSlice it's not organic, if that's what you were thinking
 
It's not.
 
@badp "local goods", "sustainable", "farmers market"
 
zero kilometers sounds silly, even local stuff usually comes from like a 100 km radius
 
Well yes it's kind of a marketing term
It originated from cars sale because brand new cars would have the distance meter at 0
 
Locavore
 
3:58 PM
(at least theoretically)
 
That's what I was thinking of
Such a dumb word
 
@badp I'm not sure there's a marketing term that's used to describe the kind of place that does that, but a place that does would usually say their ingredients are "locally sourced"
 
and then from extension "0 km used cars" would be cars that have been driven for less than 100 km
and then from extension again "0 km goods" I suppose
@TimStone okay, fair enough
 
I've heard "sustainable" and "whole food" used as a buzz words to mean that exact idea of locally sourced food whether or not it's organic
 
4:00 PM
I think they both mean different things, although I suppose locally sourced stuff are inherently more sustainable
 
It's no less factually valid than "zero km", a marketing buzzword, not a valid description
 
Would you like "0 miles" better? :P
 
Lol exactly the same
 
oh I see your point
 
I actually prefer metric
The US is fucking retarded in many, many ways, especially that whole being in the dark ages of measurement systems thing still

Q: Lol disabled rewards

GyhomeI've been playing league of legends and I'm a level 16, but the thing that gets my concerned about this game is when you finish a match, like whenever you look set the reward you get from it there is always disabled Xp and ip. I would like to know why this is and how to prevent it

 
@3ventic Me too, right now.
 
Gravelord Nito is deaded.
 
fuck my resume is all full of animation shit
@Fluttershy HE IS SCARY
@Fluttershy Did you use the fog ring?
It makes it much easier because the skeletons don't come after you.
 
@GnomeSlice Nope. I two-handed my sword and facetanked him.
 
4:59 PM
I don't understand what Nito is.
Is he undead?
He's "The First of the Dead" but what is that
is he the first guy who ever died
why does he have like a million bodies in his body
where did he get the other bodies from if he's the first of the dead
did he start out like tiny and just collect bodies as other people died
to make himself look buff
Is he hollowed?
Or is he like totally different from everything else
@Fluttershy
 
@GnomeSlice Maybe he's the first of the dead that came alive
First to undead himself
 
@Chippies So he's the first undead?
 
@GnomeSlice I think he's more like the creatures of the abyss, but he wears the skeletons as his armor. He's basically the lord of the undead, and one of the four that helped overthrow the dragons with Lord Gwyn.
 
He doesn't look undead
 
@GnomeSlice Does he look dead?
 
5:05 PM
He's also the God of death and disease.
 
@Chippies Yes. The undead in dark souls don't look dead.
 
Pretty dead.
 
@Fluttershy D=
 
Well, he's probably the first to become undead and thus the strongest one, thus the god of the dead
 
Personally, I think, especially based on that picture, he's more like one of these guys, but with skeletons attached:
 
5:06 PM
@Chippies but every other 'undead' in the game has like flesh and shit. And they even look human if you restore your humanity
 
@GnomeSlice skeletons are undead and have no flesh
 
@Fluttershy Oh huh, yeah that does look like an arm in the nito pic doesn't it
 
you're thinking of hollowed and I don't think they're "undead"
 
@Chippies Hollows are undead, pretty sure.
I thought everything in lordran was undead.
The player and all the NPCs are undead.
well tarkus is actually dead
 
everyone is undead in that sense in Dark Souls
 
5:07 PM
alll most of the npcs are undead.
 
besides non-humans I guess
 
The humans are undead too.
Petrus might not be undead actually.
I think he's still alive.
 
> An Undead that has fully lost his or her sanity is known as a Hollow.
 
CALLED IT
also it makes them look like beef jerky
 
You're not a hollow if you look like beef jerky. You're just an undead at risk of becoming a hollow.
 
5:12 PM
You're partly hollowed
because you 'reverse hollowing' when you offer humanity
 
that is all
 
@GnomeSlice you reverse the process of hollowing, which means reverse losing sanity
partially hollow means just you have lost some sanity, but aren't completely insane

@GnomeSlice He is death. Before the Lords, there was no death. Dragons were the only living things and they are immortal.
 
5:39 PM
@GnomeSlice Not sure which is worse, the fact that this is a question at all, or the fact that Chinese is an option.

@Yuki He's "The First of the Dead"
 
Nito brought death and decay when he was "born", at least that's what I got from the intro.
@GnomeSlice That could just be a fancy way of saying "he's the Grim Reaper analogue".
Ah, the Lord Soul description:
> Gravelord Nito administers the death of all manner of beings. The power of his soul is so great that it satiates the Lordvessel, despite the fact that much of its energy has already been offered to death.
So yeah, he's pretty much the Grim Reaper and he offered much of his soul and power to fuel death, essentially.
Ugh, friggin' Steam community servers.
 
So when you kill him do people stop dying?

Not to mention, the Souls series has always played fast and loose with time continuity, so no one knows exactly when you kill Nito.
