Q: I Love you fredley

SorryDotComFredley, please forgive me. UnKitty made me do all those crap. Forgive me Love you. XOXO I love terraria too'

 
Oh boy, when will he stop?
 
user15026
@fredley I think it is more "what if she needs it again"
 
user15026
because they all miss the whole "it was 15 years between, and 12 before that
 
2:02 PM
> In No Pineapple Left Behind, an evil wizard shows up to a school and turns all of the children into pineapples. Pineapples are very simple. All they do is take tests and get grades. If they get good grades, the school makes more money. But, if left unattended, pineapples can turn back into children. (Oh no!) Children are far more complex and expensive than pineapples. You are the principal. Your job is to run the school.
This is... uhm... surreal
 
She can be distracted with cupcakes.
 
we will pay ransom in internet diamonds
 
user15026
Can we stop with the cyborg jokes today please?
 
Sure.

Q: I can't manage to setup the essentialsigns

Salar AbdollahiWhen I downloaded essentials for spigot I can't setup the shop or any signs also all signs related plugins doesn't work anymore.

 
2:05 PM
in all seriousness, i hope it works out
 
user15026
Normally I am cool, but today, I am just frustrated because it might've cost me a thing I like the idea of because people only hear what they wanna hear
 
user15026
but I can't lie, so I get screwed
 
user15026
and that is just frustrating sometimes
 
@AshleyNunn Yeah I'm like that
 
Any company that would hold that against you is not somewhere you want to work
I'm not trying to minimize your anxiety because I totally understand and relate to that
 
2:06 PM
literally just had a phone call from the Royal Mail, following up on an enquiry I made last week about using their tracking API (a non-free service)
I was like 'I wrote a scraper instead'
 
They said 'You're not supposed to do that...'
 
Yes, free same day delivery please
 
@Sterno uwot
 
user15026
@twobugs In theory, maybe, but it just sucks knowing that you have this thing that is going to act against you.
 
2:06 PM
Why it defaults to standard, I don't know
 
how is... wat
 
@AshleyNunn Yeah, that does suck :(
 
user15026
@Sterno Well, that narrows down the places in which you live :P
 
@AshleyNunn well i wish people didn't use a medical thing as a defining characteristic
 
I heard Indy had a distribution center now. I didn't know you'd get same day for free though
 
user15026
2:07 PM
@twobugs and I try not to get mad. Like I know everyone is just like "don't say it" but like when you don't have a job because of it and there is this gap where you were healing and thus couldn't look for a job....
 
@Sterno Amazon just rolled this out a few weeks ago but in select areas you can get same day delivery as a prime member for specific items
 
@AshleyNunn how long was the gap?
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune A couple months
 
@twobugs I AM A WINNER
 
2:08 PM
I'm a double-winner since it's a new router (my current one seems to be stuck at about 2GBS for some reason)
 
@AshleyNunn You absolutely do not have to disclose medical information like that to your employer.
 
user15026
And yheah, I know, not long, just say contract ended and you were looking, but I suck at lying.
 
And slow Internet makes Baby Jesus cry.
 
@AshleyNunn that really shouldn't be a red flag, but unfortunately i'm not doing the hiring
 
@AshleyNunn What I've done in similar situations is say "I had a personal health issue that I had to take care of". Anyone who presses you for more information is a total ass
 
user15026
2:09 PM
@JasonBerkan This is not news to me, I know that. It's more that it just isn't something I am able to lie about, it seems.
 
user15026
Like he goes "and why did you leave?" and I go "contract ended" and he goes "why the gap" and I go "brain surgery" without thinking
 
user15026
because like to me, it's not even a big deal
 
user15026
its just my normal
 
user15026
but I forget that to most people it is a huge fucking thing
 
@AshleyNunn maybe its something you can practice? lie to us, right now!
 
2:10 PM
@AshleyNunn Ah, there it is. I was trying to figure out what possible question could come up in an interview where brain surgery would be the answer.
 
user15026
@JasonBerkan Yeah, I am not like yelling it for nothing, but contextually, it was the answer
 
My wife might need brain surgery. It is a huge fucking thing.
 
user15026
and I know interviews are full of people bullshitting but I can't.
 
It's a double edged sword. Some appreciate the honesty, others just mentally go 'wow, too many issues' and don't tell you the interview is already over.
 
user15026
@Sterno Because I've had it 5 times and as far as brain surgeries go it's like one of hte easiest ones, I tend to not worry about it to the same degree as most people.
 
2:12 PM
@AshleyNunn lying by not telling private, personal things usually doesn't fall under bullshitting
 
Request: If you see posts/accounts from UniKitty, please flag them for mod attention but don't feed the troll.
 
@AshleyNunn I suppose by the 5th time, I can see you being like "WHATEVER. MORE FREE JELLO FOR ME"
Do you get Jello?
I hope you get Jello
I refuse to type Jell-O
 
@fredley Hopefully this never happens.
 
user15026
@Sterno Yeah, I do, and everyone knows hospital jello is magic
 
@fredley Was the banhammer swung?
 
2:13 PM
@MadMAxJr Hard.
 
What'd he do that was banworthy?
Main site sockpuppeting?
 
@fredley He was a monster of your own making. I hope you learned a lesson.
5
 
@Sterno Reasonable ban just for being generally disruptive, compounded repeatedly by ban evasion.
 
@twobugs I have a vague understanding of this because I think I was there at the time, but I might need some more elaboration.
 
For the longest time, I thought Unikitty was a sockpuppet of someone in here.
 
2:16 PM
I was assuming that myself.
 
@Sterno Something like that, yeah.
 
@twobugs USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST
5
 
@Yuuki What I think happened was fredley got someone to change their name to start with uni to troll Unionhawk, but Unikitty didn't really know when to stop
Despite being told. Numerous times.
 
Honestly, it was only a matter of time until Unikitty pulled something that would result in a ban.
 
@twobugs I wonder who UniKitty was originally?
 
2:17 PM
@Yuuki Changed name from TheCodingMonster iirc
 
@Yuuki I think TheMonsterCoder or something? Not a username I recognized
 
or something like that
 
@twobugs I didn't get someone to do it. I suggested it as an amusing thing, lighting the blue touchpaper so to speak.
 
Who I had only seen on main site
 
@Powerlord can you play blu-ray movies on yours with free software? Because last I tried, you need PowerDVD, due to license keys or whatever
 
2:18 PM
@fredley Well, we all saw what happened when he saw meme potential in a thing.
 
@fredley another user to check.
 
@Chippies The Blu-Ray drive came with PowerDVD
 
He's really not subtle with this.
 
Nope
 
@Powerlord mine came with a trial version, I think, not sure, since I never installed it
 
2:19 PM
@5pike thanks
 
This is now relevant again.

Just, keep the mod lasers charged
 
That's creepy. That's like someone outside fredleys window holding up a boombox. But there's like one on every side of the hosue.
 
@MadMAxJr Hahahahahahahahahahaha sobs
 
My headcanon on the IP match mod lasers by the way, is that it's like, seeking missiles from Elite: Dangerous

Q: Which is better drill or pickaxe?

user116431I just got into Hardmode in Terraria. I got some Palladium and wondered whether to make a Palladium Drill or a Palladium Pickaxe. What is the difference and how are they different?

 
And it makes a cool "TARGET LOCK ACQUIRED" sound effect
 
@Unionhawk FRIENDSHIP DRIVE CHARGING.
 
@Lazers2.0 Duplicate. Also, the last three Terraria question has been asked by somebody who deleted their account immediately after asking
 
And the user gets an "INCOMING MISSILE" warning too in the form of their account being destroyed
I guess that's not really a warning is it
 
@PrivatePansy Those were socks by unikitty
 
2:23 PM
This is a great day to be at home with a 103 fever, because Batman comes out today
I wonder if it will show up here before 8pm, when it will be too late for me to play it
 
Nanananananananana @STERNO
 
Ah, okay
That explains it
 
@5pike Is he still going with his sock game?
 
@Arperum Apparently
 
@Arperum Yarb
 
2:25 PM
> The suspension period ends on Jun 22 '16 at 14:07.
It got him another ban doubling.
 
@5pike ... Yikes
 
... Can they get IP banned from stack at this rate?
 
@Arperum TIL bans can be for a maximum of 1 year.
3
 
@Arperum Well, he deserves those. He also isn't subtle about his ban-evasion either.
 
Unsure
 
2:26 PM
@StrixVaria Booh.
 
I thought someone had a temporary suspension lasting until like 2072 somewhere
Like, on SO
 
@StrixVaria I thought it was possible to ban them until 2038
 
Maybe 2038 actually
Since that's 1970+MAX_INT32
 
@PrivatePansy This may require someone from SE to enact.
 
Tsk, tsk, using a 32-bit time_t are we?
 
2:27 PM
The largest 32bit Unix date
 
@5pike Subtle was never one of his strong points.
 
Most UNIX distributions have switched over to 64-bit time_t.
 
@Powerlord If this is the largest possible date the most likely culprit is the DB
 
@PrivatePansy If so, then we need to smack Microsoft.
 
GLADLY
 
2:29 PM
No Uni... you are the Microsoft
 
@Powerlord Smack away.
 
Either that or smack someone for use an integer / int32 column instead of a date column.
 
@twobugs I'm a billion dollar company?
SINCE THE CRAP WHEN
WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME THIS
 
@Unionhawk We didn't want it to go to your head.
 
For reference, Oracle supports dates up through the year 9999.
 
2:29 PM
You'd start bundling IE with Windows, and causing all sorts of issues.
 
I distinctly don't remember this.
For some reason I have a feeling that you guys are making shit up
 
SQLServer's datetime column supports years up to 9999 as well
 
Everything in Microsoft's stack supports large dates.
 
Even though docs say not to use datetime any more
 
Well, I don't care enough to find screenshots of "temporary" suspensions, so
I cannot vouch for the validity of statements made by @PrivatePansy
 
2:32 PM
So, how about those videa games
 
I suspect that the long suspensions are simply limited by the input field. Input is in days, and 9999 days gets you to somewhere around 2040. Mods can only suspend for a year now, but that was different some years ago
 
Aha
I knew it
It was @Wipqozn's fault all along!
 
@5pike I just noticed that he added a second sock in his profile description. I'm amazed at the stupid.
 
@Unionhawk I cannot vouch for the validatity of the statements made by @PrivatePansy either
Frankly, I have no idea who this Private Pansy is
 
2:34 PM
@Arperum "I AM NOT THIS USER" "Mod lasers disagree."
 
@Unionhawk Yup.
 
@Arperum Yeah. Well, all the socks of him make me paranoid now. Every new user could be a sock...
 
YOU COULD BE A SOCK
Wait, no, you have a voice
hmm
@Wipqozn COULD BE A SOCK
Wait, no, he just has dirty socks
 
@5pike I know the feeling. eyes newest terraria mobile question
 
I COULD BE A SOCK WAIT NO
 
2:36 PM
@Arperum Exactly. Well, the user was nuked, so it probably was a sock.
 
@Unionhawk BUT IF YOU ARE SOCK, THEN WHO WAS PHONE?
 
I don't want to have anything to do with @Wipqozn's socks
*shudders*

Q: Are bombs able to blast open the Temple's door?

user116433In Terraria, I blew up the temple door with a simple Bomb. But after a few weeks, the method did not work anymore. Why was that happening? Is the bombs meant to blow up the temple door?

 
If you see a question tagged from a non-deleted account, please let me know
 
Eventually, we're going to run out of questions
 
2:41 PM
Good timing @Lazers2.0
 
And then it'll just be all "WHY ISN'T THE MUSHROOM GUY MOVING IN"
or "WHY NO HOUSE WORK"
 
Is he trying to get rep to get back to chat?
 
Probably
 
I still think you guys were too hard on that guy
 
I don't want to sound like a xenophobic American but if you notice almost all of his socks use the same kind of mostly but not totally correct english
 
2:43 PM
@GnomeSlice You think that about everyone who ever gets banned, flagged, etc.
 
@GnomeSlice - Thanks for the heads up on Ironclad Tactics.
 
Huh. Apparently, the devs locked review submissions for Arkham Knight.
 
@JasonBerkan happy to help, how's the game?
 
@GnomeSlice I think they were probably a little too harsh initially, but if you look at how far he's going right now I think they made the right choice
 
Ostensibly because of the literal metric f--kton of bad reviews they were getting.
 
2:43 PM
I haven't played it yet
 
@Yuuki Huh, you can do that?
 
@Yuuki It's hard to say, there are all kinds of insane review embargos and whatnot even for games with overwhelmingly positive reviews
 
@PrivatePansy Never mind, turns out it was a Steam hiccup.
 
@GnomeSlice It's fun, but not unbelievable awesome. I'm not certain why it isn't turn based, TBH.
 
@StrixVaria I just mean all the people telling him to shut up, if he was abusing voting then yeah he should be banned
 
2:44 PM
But you couldn't submit reviews for Arkham Knight for awhile, that's for sure.
 
Too many reviews probably crashed the system :P
 
@JasonBerkan I just sort of assumed it was turn based
 
@twobugs Here's the thing... Polygon gave this game a 10 review.
 
Which looks suspicious as hell considering it's currently sitting at 1,708 negative reviews, amounting to a total of 69% negative reviews.
 
@Yuuki To be fair, it sounds like the Steam version is a mess
 
2:45 PM
Which makes me wonder if it's just the PC / Steam version of the game that has these issues
 
@GnomeSlice It is but it isn't - it has turns, but a constant timer, so a lot like the later FF games.
 
@Powerlord That's what it sounds like
 
@Powerlord Polygon is silly and unfortunately publishers have been letting companies break review embargoes for a while now if the publisher is "happy" with the score
 
Unsure
 
So like you both take turns at the same time+
 
2:45 PM
@Powerlord It seems like it might be because of the DRM.
 
Never played any FF games
 
Which creates a bad feedback loop
 
@Powerlord The version they gave for gaming sites to review seem to be the PS4 version, which got mostly glowing reviews
 
@GnomeSlice No. Every 5 seconds a turn happens. If you didn't play, too bad.
 
2:46 PM
Oh what
That sounds interesting
 
I mean, an example that got a lot of people upset was The Escapist I think being able to break Dragon Age 2's embargo because they gave it a 9.5
 
@GnomeSlice He made a new account to evade the ignore function (and may or may not have voted that accounts stuff up), once he got banned he keeps making socks (first just raging that he was not related to the other socks, then just asking actual questions)
 
Eurogamer's Digital Foundry article, which analyzes performance in games, have no complaints about the PS4 version which they reviewed
Which is why it's so surprising the PC version is so completely broken
 
Poor guy
 
It's not an awful system, but every once in awhile, your strategy gets messed up because you didn't have enough time to make the play you wanted.
 
2:47 PM
I mean, he dug his own grave at a point, so
 
For anyone who missed the Candy Crush tweet
Not hacked here, a sysadmin was logged in with the wrong account - sorry!
 
@PrivatePansy I'm willing to bet that the PS4 version was the lead version, Xbox One version was a port, and PC was a very distant afterthought
 
Can you increase the length of the turns @JasonBerkan
 
@fredley HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
 
@GnomeSlice No, the timer is locked
 
2:47 PM
@fredley dafuq xDDDDD
 
You're forced to make decision quickly. That's sort of the point of the game
 
Speaking of timers, I should go back to work
 
Not hacked here, a sysadmin was logged in with the wrong account - sorry!

It's not bad - the plays quite smoothly. The difficulty is a bit on the hard side
@JasonBerkan I'm actually stuck at a level. Are you playing on PC or mobile?
 
2:48 PM
I wish I'd got it in here and oneboxed, but by the time I noticed it'd been deleted
 
It sounds like port problems for Arkham Knight
 
@PrivatePansy PC. I have it on Steam.
 
@GnomeSlice You make the decision in 5 seconds, then both player's actions happen at the same time. For instance, if two units face each other with 1HP and shoots, both die on the same turn
So it's not real time, where the first player who pulls the trigger wins. Units can shoot each other and die at the same time, which takes some getting used to
 
@PrivatePansy That sounds really neat

Q: How can I complete the Factory Fort defense level?

Private PansyI'm stuck at this level which requires you to defend yourself against a non-stop stream of enemy ironclads for a set number of turns. I've considered a few tactics, including using pioneers to set up blockades, using AoE weapons like the light cannon and the saber to destroy the tightly packed en...

 
2:52 PM
@PrivatePansy Do you have the armoured Ironclads?
Those might help blockade. Especially armed with sabres.
 
@fredley What happened?
 
@twobugs It plays like a turn-based PvZ, except you draw your units from a deck. Each turn you get a fixed number of action points, which you spend to drop units onto a grid, and they march towards the enemy like PvZ
 
@Arperum Presumably a sysadmin logged into candy crush with @StackStatus
I guess?
 
@Arperum @StackStatus tweeted out "I've just beaten level 37 on Candy Crush Saga!" or something like that
 
@fredley BAHAHAHHHHAHAHAHHA
aw
That actually hurt my throat.
 
2:53 PM
StackExchange is a network of professionals :P
 
@JasonBerkan The big 6HP ones? I have those, but they take too many AP to deploy
 
total professional
 
@PrivatePansy I take back my earlier comment. That actually sounds really cool. I'll check this game out for sure
 
@PrivatePansy No, the 4 AP, 4HP armored ones. They are immune to one damage shots. You get them for letting the big 6HP ones die twice.
 
The new guy has just been introduced to the legacy code. What he is seeing cannot be unseen.
 
2:55 PM
I spent last night messing around and getting all the upgraded cards.
 
 
This is the level. You have to hold out for ~30 turns, but the enemy only need to score 8 points to win. And they keep deploying these 3HP walkers in a 2x2 grid that's really hard to fight off
