Q: What privilege should 30k users get?

Jon EricsonThe last time we lifted the level cap was in 2011. Last year, we added a unilateral close-as-duplicate power for gold tag badge holders, but no new reputation level. So we've been thinking about giving users more reasons to keep playing. (I've answered this question with some circumstantial evide...

They're taking suggestions
 
6:20 PM
@Yuuki I literally don't know anything about amiibo
 
@Unionhawk what's to know
 
@murgatroid99 Comment MOderation +1
 
Other than toon link is cool, yarn yoshi is cool, and custom dankey kang amiibos are funny
 
@Wipqozn I don't really care, because I'm not even close to 20k on any site

Q: Looking for an unofficial Sonic game

IllidanS4I remember playing one unofficial Sonic game as a kid on Windows, but I can't find it any more. However, I've recovered a screenshot of it (I hope it is it). Anyone knows which game this screenshot is from?

 
6:23 PM
@Lazers sonic.exe
 
Yes, dankey kang amiibos.
 
@Sterno @LessPop_MoreFizz Pillars of Eternity is installed. Probably want get around to starting it until sunday, but I'll have all of monday to play.
 
my smash amiibo is DK. he's unbeatable
 
I'll probably finish up Bloodborne story mode tomorrow before I head out for easter plans.
 
6:25 PM
Cc @Sterno
 
Does anyone have experience with NCIX.com prebuilt PCs?
 
Oh shit, the emperor's illegitimate daughter just fired a warning shot cc @OrigamiRobot
Also good morning bridge
 
Good afternoon
 
Huh, there's a gold Mario Amiibo.
 
@Yuuki Mario Party 10
 
6:30 PM
@Unionhawk ooo a community event that isn't 100s of LY away, and its a combat one? Let's see if my Vulture can even make the jump to Facece, though... it's isolated
 
Holy fuck yes
YASS
IMPERIAL COMBAT COMMUNITY EVENT SO HYPE
 
What is it?
 
@OrigamiRobot read the galnet
 
I'd look, but I'm on my funky phone
 
Hunting in some imperial system I believe
 
6:34 PM
Hunting in Facece (you need high rank Empire to enter)
Vulture needs at least D4 FSD to get there
 
Ah FUCK
Dammit
Sigh

Q: Are all bots created equal?

The Guy with The HatWhen I'm playing a match of me + 4 medium bots against 5 medium bots, I'm occasionally the worst player on my team by a fair margin (e.g. as a carry, I died 3 times in the beginning of the match and got absolutely no kills the entire match). However, I never lose to medium bots. If all medium bot...

 
I need to find rank up missions
 
@Rapitor ooo
 
Stupid... I'M ALLIED WITH YOU GUYS, LET ME WORK FOR YOU AND RANK UP
 
6:40 PM
@Lazers >Assuming skill in a game is a scalar
 
@Unionhawk rep != freindly
 
I'm allied.
And just an outsider
And I can't find the missions
 
@Unionhawk NO! You're maf!
KILL MAF
votes to lynch @Unionhawk

~Nothing bad ever happens in this town~
 
6:50 PM
If you guys go to google, does it bring you to Google?
 
@murgatroid99 does not
using chrome
 
Nope, chrome mobile
 
I just realized I could have checked on my phone
 
Is it some internal magic?
 
user15026
@murgatroid99 nope, says not available
 
6:52 PM
@Unionhawk Yeah, we have a lot of internal magic. But I wasn't sure, because it's also a valid domain name

In some I pods,I phones and I pads there little bugs that the apple company has not updated to there fully maximum. Also it in some games unfortuna...

 
@Lazers why are you commenting about it until you fix it... Sigh
 
@Lazers Why do people use "I'm new" as a reason to attach the tag to questions that aren't about Minecraft?
What kind of experience do you need to know that that's incorrect?
 
user15026
@murgatroid99 I always wonder how it is always minecraft.
 
@AshleyNunn Probably the most popular tag on our site or something
 
7:06 PM
@Yuuki can you post some pictures later?
 
Sure. I got Goldbeard Ceadeus and Savage Jho.
 
Nice
 
Hopefully, I'll get Rajang too.
But that's more of a luck thing.
 
I AM AT LAN LAN LAN LAN LAN
 
~LA LA LA LA~
I'm at Work
 
7:13 PM
I am at home Today, but don't have to work on Monday
 
turns PC back on after someone pulled the plug
Yep, at a LAN party
 
sorry have to work Monday
 
Bleh, it's easter! Are you getting paid overtime at least?
 
@KevinvanderVelden What are you playing first?
 
@5pike Fill the stomach with sushi
But that's done now, and I am not leaving this chair for an hour at least so, no idea what game yet
 
7:15 PM
They have sushi there? Nice
 
no, the only stat in NS Good Friday
 
@John @Unionhawk I am around tonight
 
@5pike We're in the middle of a city, we went to a restaurant =p
 
I may possibly be around tonight, not until like 9 though
It's good Friday and all that
 
@MBraedley huh, here we're only getting the monday off (and in some rare cases (aka you work for the government) friday)
 
7:17 PM
Sushi party and you didn't invite us?
How rude
 
@Unionhawk all you can eat sushi even!
You're welcome to join us tomorrow at the all you can eat spareribs
 
@KevinvanderVelden We used to get Monday, but they charged that a few years back
 
@Sterno @GnomeSlice 2 more bosses, then I'll be fighting the final boss.
 
1 more boss and I'll be the final boss.

Q: How to produce particle effects in Minecraft

JakeAs the title says, How do you produce particle effects in Minecraft? If you could also provide a list of particle effects, that would be great.

 
@5pike i alread y did
It's isntalled
just not playing until I finish
Which I almost am
 
...
ok
 
7:42 PM
Well I'm done for the night. Friends will be here soon. I'll finish Bloodborne tomorrow, I'm sure.
 
@Wipqozn NIGHT?
I know you're in Canada but I'm pretty sure that doesn't put you in the future
 
@Sterno we are in the future. We're an hour ahead of the east coast of the US as well as Ontario and Quebec.
 
4:53PM is still not night
Wait, let me check with Yahoo! Answers
 
Yeah, he's in Nova Scotia. It's like 4:30 or something dumb
 
Yeah, the "best answer" is that "night starts when the kids are in bed". My kids are awake, thus it can't be night.
 
7:55 PM
So wait, if he doesn't have kids to put to bed, is it ever night?
 
@Unionhawk almost 5. we're not like @Chippies and his crazy timezone.
 
It's not even evening
 
Ah
I see
 
CATASTROPHERROR
 
5 is like the edge of what one can acceptably call evening
 
7:56 PM
Evenings are a lie
plustags are a lie
lies are a lie
 
@badp is a lie
 
and so is your face
#burnqozn
 
@MBraedley you're just jealous that I'm half hour in the future!
 
I'm far enough in the future that it's weekend now
that is sufficient to me
any more future than this and you have less of a weekend ahead of yourself
 
@badp 5:30pm on a friday seems like a pretty good time to be in tbh
 
8:09 PM
@Sterno WEll, close enough to night
 
@Chippies if you leave work at 5:30pm, then yes.
At 5:30pm I still had two hours of work and 2 hours of commuting ahead of me.
 
I haven't even started programming in Objective C, and I already don't like it
 
@murgatroid99 It only gets worse.
 
@murgatroid99 #deprecated
 
8:25 PM
@badp is that a thing in the language?
 
@murgatroid99 no, but Obj-C is probably on its way to deprecation? I think
 
Perhaps a long way.
 
@GnomeSlice
 
@badp I suspect so. At least, my team is doing Objective C for iOS development
And we just started doing that a few months ago
 
8:28 PM
er
 
@murgatroid99 I'm so sorry.
 
ow. right in the master race.
(I WOULD LIKE MY SCREEN SIZE TO BE "WINDOWED" KTHX)
 
@Rapitor plz Coldsteel the Hedgehog
 
@Chippies next day, for me

Q: I can't log in to my profile to change my skin on Minecraft.net

ZechWhen I try to log in in minecraft.net it resends my username and it comes up when I enter it it's wrong even though on my account it says it's right but my password is correct

 
@Rapitor This is some secret agent shit
@murgatroid99 Hedgeheg*
 
@GnomeSlice Psssh… Nothin Personnel… Kid…
 
I got a note voted up in Bloodborne
Guess I can stop playing now
King Boo Male He's a ghost and he could scare the shit out of everybody.
Some of these smashballot things are hilarious
 
YOU CANNOT MAKE ME
STOP THROWING THE OPTION IN MY FACE, GAME
 
YES IT CAN
YOU WILL TAKE A SELFIE @badp
 
user15026
8:44 PM
@badp It knows you want to
 
OR YOU WILL FAIL THE GAME
 
@badp You are playing a game about a teenage photography nerd.
 
Also, potato quality photo:
 
You should have known that this would be required.

Q: Xbox Online Data Transfer

MasterChiefM101So recently I have decided to create a new Xbox account but all of my online data is stuck on my old account. I know how to transfer offline data like single player using horizon but I do now know if there is a way to transfer online data (e.g CoD Guns and stats used in multiplayer) It would be g...

 
oh my god this awkward silence is delicious
 
There's some more to the left I couldn't get on the photo
 
@badp Oh there should be plenty of that
 
@KevinvanderVelden nice!
 
8:46 PM
@badp LAN :D
Always fun to be at one of these, knowing you're surrounded by other people that enjoy the same hobby
 
@KevinvanderVelden Why are you up near the roof? did they tape you to the roof?
 
@Arperum no, that's where the free drinks are
 
@KevinvanderVelden Taped to the roof?
 
@Arperum no, on the second floor
 
@KevinvanderVelden booooooring.
 
8:58 PM
@Arperum probably, but better than being taped to the roof
 
@KevinvanderVelden That would at least be interesting.
 
The second floor could be taped to the roof.

Q: Starcraft 2: What are "mechanics"?

Dipak CEvery SC2 tutorial emphasizes that beginners are best served by focusing on two aspects of the game: (i) mechanics and (ii) macro. I understand what is meant by "macro" (i.e., making sure you're constantly collecting resources, producing units/buildings, and expanding when appropriate). My qu...

 
What game is that @badp with the camera
 
@RedRiderX Sound like a solid plan.
 
9:04 PM
@GnomeSlice Life is Strange.
It's basically a Telltale game with a rewind button.
 
What's a telltale game
 
The Walking Dead, Tales of Borderlands, that other one...
 
Oh telltale is the company right
 
yeah
basically the third-person-over-the-shoulder equivalent of text adventure games.
 
Point and click? Or can you move freely
 
9:07 PM
Both
Move freely then point and click on things to interact.
also, (timed) dialogue trees
 
Huh
Sounds cool
 
and the constant nagging that your choices will reflect on what happens later in the game
 
How much bearing do they actually have though
 
Most of the time however you just hear slightly different dialogue.
I've only played The Walking Dead myself. Some choices did end up killing some people rather than other people, spoiler alert.

Q: Where should i go to farm parts for the Trading Post Auctioneer?

I would like to know where in each of the zones for Super Cooling Module, Cyclical Power Module and Universa...

 
@Lazers That is an excellent question, someone should answer it!
 
9:45 PM
wibble wibble wibble yeaaah
 
A WILD @Vandammetje APPEARS
 
you made me
 
Did it work? :o
 
I am within throwing distance, I didn't have a choice
 
9:49 PM
I am now playing that, thank you
 
You're welcome
 
Aaah the horribleness is awesome
I didn't know this was a whole song actually, this is the bit you skip as fast as possible
SO
 
@Vandammetje Another Twilight Sparkle gravatar
 
I am gonna start a new SYFMD:JSPDRPG character, what should it be?
@murgatroid99 now you must fight, right? That's how it works
 
@murgatroid99 Technically mine's a duck, but it "might" be inspired by TS =p
 
@Unionhawk So, in this scenario, @murgatroid99 is a pokemon I have captured?
 
@Vandammetje That is clearly Twilight Sparkle (and Spike)
 
@murgatroid99 those are ponies, his are ducks

Q: Minecraft Redstone detecting players standing on a block in a radius!

JordanSo, basically, I need to make it so that if a player is standing on a block of black wool in a radius of 50 (from the contraption), it will kill them instantly. how is this possible, if at all?

 
9:55 PM
@KevinvanderVelden Spike is a dragon
 
@murgatroid99 (There once was a "draw a random character but now as duck" meme so I drew Twilight and spike as ducks)

Hmm, there was one class that doesn't have a proper companion in PoE, what is it again? ><

Q: How do I play my Far Cry 4 on my Acer laptop?

Andrew EckertLast month I went to my friend's house to hang out with him. Well I saw him place his Far Cry 4 game in his Acer laptop (which is the exact same kind as mine). The game was clearly a xbox 360 game. So for a few weeks now I have been trying to figure out how. I would ask him but he moved away. So ...

 
10:10 PM
@KevinvanderVelden I wish I hadn't missed the opportunity to modabuse his reply to "murgatroid! murgatroid! ninety-niiiine!"
 
@badp RIP opportunity
 
It will always be... missed
 
Man, this con is actually kinda boring.
For me, at least.
 
@Yuuki What kind of con is it?
 
Anime.
But there's a lot of other stuff too.
 
10:21 PM
I've been to BronyCon twice, and I probably would have been bored for quite a bit if my friends hadn't been there
 
Stats: It's Philosophy With Graphs.
 
Yeah, I might not come back tomorrow.
 
@badp a tutoring job that only pays if the student gets an A?
 
To be fair, it's posted inside a dorm... so it's not really a job to begin with I suppose.
 
Stats was one of the more "math"-ish math classes I've taken at uni.
Stereotypically speaking.
 
10:28 PM
What does that even mean?
 
36 mins ago, by Kevin van der Velden
@Unionhawk So, in this scenario, @murgatroid99 is a pokemon I have captured?
 
More calculations as opposed to logic and proofs.
 
wat
 
Or, wait
I THOUGHT YOU REPLIED TO SOMETHING ELSE
I AM NOT AWAKE
NEVERMIND ME
 
gg
 
10:29 PM
Maybe it's because I was doing engineering but stats was totally in the top-5 for math-heaviness in terms of proofs, big formulas and whatnot.
 
It's only 0030
 
Ugh, I'm not discussing what I mean while I'm on mobile chat.
 
@Yuuki Oh, I get it. That's just the opposite of what I would have meant by "more math-ish"
 
Even though, like all other engineering classes, it did end up boiling down to applying no actual operations more complicated that + - × ÷
...and in this specific case, table lookups.
I WATERED MY PLANT NOW JASON IS GOING TO DIE.
SORRY JASON.

Q: Golem in Prehard mode

Detective RTHow to kill Golem in Pre hard mode? don't tell me how to get into the Lizahard temple I already know how to do that. When I was inside I summoned Golem with the Lizahard power cell. He has 10000+ health. What is the easiest way to defeat him

 
@murgatroid99 Oh man, eigenvectors.
 
@badp The thing I remember is proving that vector spaces have dimension. I don't remember how, because it was years ago, but I remember that it took about two weeks
 
and at the end of the day it boils down to just checking a matrix for singularity
(IIRC)
 
@badp I think that was before we proved that matrices existed
 
10:35 PM
wait. Why do you need to prove that matrices exist?
Matrices are just tables of numbers.
 
I guess, more accurately, we had to prove that matrices are equivalent to linear transformations of vectors
 
Ah okay.
I did say "at the end of the day"
 
And to prove that, you have to know that one of the dimensions of a matrix corresponds to the dimension of the vector space it operates on
 
now if only I could remember what was the "easy" (okay: the proper) way to check for matrix singularity with a computer. Something about its conditioning number.
 
linear algebra is one of the classes that I am convinced that I only passed because it was heavily curved
The other one being set theory
 
10:38 PM
@murgatroid99 It's probably less about the journey and more about the destination.
 
I spent my entire 3-hour set theory final carving shapes into my pencil with my other pencil
 
I saw a lot of people pour a ton of notes during lectures on all the mathematical nitty gritty steps you need to reach a result.
When what really DOES matter is, um, the result.
 
@badp knowing how to get the result helps you when you need to get other results
The point of the class is not to tell you that a set has XY property, or whatever. It's so that you know how to prove stuff like that
 
@murgatroid99 Well yes: a general idea of how the model is built and the properties and limits of the model.
If I need the nitty gritty details, I can look them up.
But not to the point where you obsess about writing some phony "proof" down no one will ever ask you to run.
 
quietly hides notebooks full of proofs
 
10:44 PM
I guess I was just kind of a lazy student.
 
Actually, I threw them out when I moved
 
so, um, I just got an email from any.do
...I almost binned it as spam on sight
and it's right there on the edge.
Pretty weird.
 
Do you have an account with them?
 
Seems so.
> Today I put together a list of people that downloaded my app (Any.do) a while ago, but haven't logged in for a long time. I've been racking my brain to think of how I can ask you to give Any.do a second chance and basically decided the best way is to come clean and ask you.
It's funny because I kind of disliked the app for trying too hard. It even came with a Chrome extension that added GMail integration.
Although it genuinely tried to be Mailbox-ey before Mailbox even was a thing (let alone Inbox).
 
D:
Disappoint
 
10:50 PM
I mean, I do use a todo tracking list program at work. It's hierarchical, and the tree is about five or six levels deep
Any.do is kind of like the opposite of that.
Trello is hierarchical so long as you like your hierarchies 2-4 levels deep.
