Q: How would I go about making a custom minecraft item that triggers events when it's used?

NutwitIn specific, I'm looking to code a sword that, when used to block, advances the time of day by 4800. Hopefully this can be accomplished with command blocks only, as I'd rather stick to vanilla minecraft. So far, I've only figured out how to correctly employ custom names and enchantments, so this...

Q: Was Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories ever ported to anything outside of PS2?

ScootalooI can't find a clear answer to whether, or not Chain of Memories was ever ported to anything outside of the Play Station 2. I thought that KH 1.5 had it, but it was actually Re:Chain of Memories (the second one of the set), and 2.5 doesn't seem to have it easier. So was Chain of Memories ever po...

1:08 AM
how much rep is it to see suggested edits. Do you get rep for approving/declining suggested edits?
 
I think you need edit privileges to see suggested edits. And no, you don't get any rep for reviewing them
 
Ben
@Aequitas not for approving/declining. Only for making (and getting accepted), up to a certain point.
 
You don't get any rep for reviewing anything or any other moderation actions
If you look at everything that gives rep on the site, almost all of it comes from someone else approving something you did
 
Ben
You only get rep for contributing - asking (good) questions, giving (good) answers, making (good) edits, that get accepted, accepting answers...
I think that's it?
 
Yeah, that's it if you count bounties under "giving good answers"

@AshleyNunn fascinating... I wonder if doge will hang in a museum someday as representative of the early Internet days

Q: Why are some characters still unplayable when clicking on play

FractalFor some years now there has been an issue with the game: After passing the first few levels (it happened to me with two lvl 18 characters), it becomes impossible to play said characters. What I mean is when presented with the screen showing the characters, clicking on play will not do anything. ...

 
1:25 AM
seriously though, I don't know if it is because I'm the original meme demographic, but these new memes are weak
It's like those chain emails of "jokes" that you get from relatives
 
@GodEmperorDune: "Back in my day, we had to climb up a hill backwards in a blizzard to get our dank memes! And on the way back, you had to crawl on your knees!"
 
And they were funny then! That noise you kids read these days, I wouldn't even call it a meme!
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune Yeah, that's kinda the point, though - they're changing, as a different older demographic gets a hold on them
 
user15026
(Which is supremely weird especially for how much they use the minions from Despicable me)
 
Also, depending on your definition of "meme", you are definitely not the original demographic.
 
user15026
1:30 AM
@Yuuki well, memes in the truest sense are just like ideas, behaviours, etc that spread within a culture.
 
user15026
So....you're going to have to be a bit more specific.
 
Kinda my point, although I guess it's assumed that he's talking about internet memes.

TRANSLATION: Worst-case scenario is now in play - HT Flash 0day with NO patch is now being used to deliver Cryptolockers via exploit kits
 
@GnomeSlice Rocket League is free with PSN+ or whatever that service is called.
 
@Aequitas It's "Unclear what you are asking"
 
I played a few games, pretty cool, definitely a lot of room for me to get better.
 
The patch is expected tomorrow I think but until then for the love of god be careful out there, folks >_>
 
2:09 AM
@timstone What is HT Flash?
 
@TimStone This is less funny when I realize all the comedy comes from the juxtaposition of Taylor Swift and cryptosecurity rather than any inherent comedy in the tweets.
 
Meh, I ignore that portion personally. That joke is less funny.
 
@StrixVaria I'm excited to play this. :3

@Fluttershy It is pretty neat. The controls are basic but you can do some crazy stuff.

Holy shit Rocket League is fun
I think I just played it for like four hours.
Too bad the servers were down the entire time.
omg
 
noice.
 
This has a different sound to it
 
it's pretty awesome
 
2:59 AM
@GnomeSlice Yeah I especially like how it's free.
If I had to pay $20 I don't know if I'd have pulled the trigger.
 
I think it's more like $30
 
I MADE MYSELF A MERMAID
 
I went out and bought some PSN cards before I got home so now I have $40 in my PSN I don't know what to do with.
 
MERMAID MAKER IS THE BEST MAKER
 
It said $19.99 on the playstation store thingy, but it was crossed out.
 
3:00 AM
Huh, I googled it and it said 15 pounds or something which was $31 something
british folk have to pay more?
 
@GnomeSlice That's normal IIRC.
 
@StrixVaria Were you able to play online at all?
 
I didn't even try, I just did a few AI matches to figure out the controls.
 
Woo! All parts cut out, except the super jet backpack.
 
I did an entire season, and a bunch of other single games.
Shortest season length
 
3:03 AM
I started a season, but I'm only 1 game in.
 
There are a few bugs in the UI and I found a way to get your car stuck in the ground.
The team name doesn't auto update to the new team's default name if you change to a different team
If you drive up on the ceiling and double jump downward you can sometimes get your car jammed inside the ground.
Well, I only managed to do it once.
 
Cave Johnson, we're done here.
 
But I didn't try that hard.
 
@GnomeSlice You can double jump?
Also, I couldn't figure out what "air roll" meant or did.
 
@StrixVaria Where did you see that term.
 
3:07 AM
@GnomeSlice It's mapped to square while in the air.
I looked at the controls.
 
@StrixVaria Yeah, hit X then X again without a direction and you'll jump again instead of dashing
@StrixVaria Lets you roll along your length mid air if you hold it down and use the left stick instead of rotating
 
@GnomeSlice I clearly need to play more. If you press X in the air with a direction, you dash?
 
@StrixVaria Did you not play the tutorial?
 
There's a tutorial?
I will need to find that.
 
You can also fly by poniting up and boosting
the tutorial didn't explain everything though
like what square does. I just figured that out because I assumed it would have a similar button to Nitronic Rush
also you can destroy opponents if you get up to speed, usually while boosting, and smash into them
you get bonus points
I should go to bed but I kinda want to go back down and play more Rocket League
@Rapitor looks like Vulpey has a thing on tasty

Q: What does "Fear" mean?

KtashRight now, in the top left of my screen, there is a little bat icon with the word "Fear" next to it. What in the world does that mean?

But I ain't gonna reject it since it is my question.

Q: Potion that kills all mobs

MashedPotatoesI want to be able to summon a potion that can kill all mobs. Undead, or alive. I currently summon potions of harming to kill mobs, but that only affects creepers, spiders, etc. If there is a way to use command blocks to damage mobs directly, or some other alternative, please feel free to say it. ...

 
Also, TIL there are extended versions of both the Chip & Dale theme song, and the TaleSpin one
 
user15026
Really?
 
@Aequitas Just a title edit. Thought it needed to be clarified that it was an icon, and I wasn't asking for a dictionary definition of the word fear
I did know Ducktales had one though
 
user15026
I don't know what it says about me that I am listening to these on my phone in the dark in my bed. Mostly I think it means "oh hey I can't sleep again"

@Ktash Nope. There's a large nest of them in my basement corner. *shivers*

I can handle spiders better than ants.
 
@Ktash Full disclosure: as a kid, I always thought they were saying "garlic" in that line for some reason.
I have no explanation for this, but I always heard "garlic".
 
I have severe arachnophobia.
Ants and most other insects are fine for me.
 
@Yuuki Actually, I thought the exact same thing. It's sort of a weird way they say it
 
user15026
See Ants freak me out because there are always so many. A spider nest I can deal with.
 
4:42 AM
@Ktash GARLIC CHAMPIONS UNITE!
 
I mean, sometimes, I'll see a spider, and I'll actually physically freeze and be unable to move.
 
user15026
Wow, I am kinda realizing now that all I know about Digimon is a bit of the theme song.
 
@AshleyNunn It was a really terrible show. I have it and have rewatched pieces. It's also on Netflix. It does not hold up. At all. Not even a little. Almost as bad as Transformers: Beast Wars
But I loved it as a kid :P
 
user15026
A lot of the stuff I watched as a kid none of you know really because it was mostly Canadian stuff and apparently a bunch of it was specific to one Ontario TV channel.
 
Also, the movie has a surprisingly good soundtrack
For example, Run Around
 
4:47 AM
@Ktash Thanks for letting me know to not rewatch Beast Wars.
 
It also has a song by my favorite band (who also did the Good Burger song, so there's that)
 
if you reject a suggested edit on your answer is it instant?
 
That series has a special place in my heart and there it will stay.
 
@Yuuki Oh. No. Avoid it like the plague. Leave that one in memory only. Trust me. The nostalgia filter is good enough on that
@Aequitas No. It still takes 2 rejects
 
if I improve edit, does it restart the rejects/approves?
 
user15026
4:49 AM
Now I want to rewatch a bunch of my childhood stuff, but a lot of it is impossible to find.
 
@Aequitas If you have rights to edit, no. It approves or rejects it automatically and overrides with yours

Doesn't that go against what you just said?
So if I want to instantly reject it I can just do that?
 
user15026
:D
 
user15026
That's better than no episodes!
 
user15026
I loved that show so much.
 
@Aequitas Reject and improve edit overrides it if you have edit privileges. But if you just reject or just approve, it takes two. Basically, if you take the time to edit it, it counts it as you overriding their edit and either approving or rejecting it wholesale
@AshleyNunn Remind me sometime and I can help you get them if you like. Plus other stuff. I have a secret stash of old cartoons and shows and out of print things

"How to cut a battery and poison yourself with the toxic stuff inside to light a candle"
 
Well, if it works, it works.

If only you could use the battery for some other purpose
something crazy, like a flashlight (or torch, for fredley)
 
o/
 
@twobugs Well, that's if you want light.
If you want a proper fire, you could always do this:

Which I guess is the same thing.
 
@Yuuki It's a thing, steel wool is also a thing that works
Eagle scout intensifies
 
@Unionhawk Yeah, but steel wool doesn't involve puncturing a battery, which depending on the make could either explode or leak dangerously corrosive acid.

@Yuuki reads answer
Wait wat
NO
YOU IDIOT
 
I mean, he mentions steel wool and a battery but more like an afterthought.
 
If you want fire you could use a magnifying glass alongside your flashlight to focus the rays back to a single point of heat
And, you know, you're too lazy to start fire in some other way
 
using a flashlight to light a candle to spin a fan to power a generator to make your flashlight work?

You shouldn't... do weird things to light a candle anyway
Like, if you're lighting a proper fire, fine
 
A lot of these lifehack things just seem like people challenging themselves to do mundane stuff but with stupid constraints.
I mean, that's fine, but it's not "hacking". It's "doing things stupidly"

But you are going to set your house on fire doing this shit with a candle
 
@twobugs Welcome to Lifehacks.SE
 
How many answer downvotes do I have left? checks
Oh good, I have 11 left
 
@Yuuki I keep one of these in my pocket most of the time
I have another strapped to my wrist

@fredley As long as you don't attack it with a knife, I think you're mostly good.
 
@Yuuki So my phone saving me from stabbing would in fact result in burning to death instead?
 
@twobugs You know, it is because this strange mmo simulation game we all take part in seem to have some pretty strange achievement unlocking requirements.
"Light a candle without a lighter" must be a bronze medal
 
I wonder what a gold medal would be
Lifehack enough to become immortal?
 
wait there was one

A: How do I fill a hot water urn that doesn't fit in the sink?

ShokhetHere's a solution that my friend came up with: Take a bunch of Styrofoam cups Cut out the bottoms of the cups Stack them up Put the wide end of the top cup under the faucet, and the (cut open) thinner end of the bottom cup over the edge of the sink Place the urn directly underneath the end of y...

read the question, read this answer and then ask yourself why you can't just use the plastic cups in first places

Honestly, I'm surprised that didn't get downvoted.
 
@SPArchaeologist "Use the hot water urn to smash the sink off the wall"
 
Dear lord, gravity, how does it work?
 
I've seen other lifehacks where someone is like "help my leg is broken" and the answers will be like "go to the doctor" at -10
 
@twobugs But what if you don't have a doctor to hand?
But what if you don't have a stack of cups to hand?
But what if you don't have hands?
 
But what if you don't exist, and are all merely figments of my deranged imagination?

How Can @PrivatePansy Be Real If Bridge Isn't Real?
 
@fredley What if I have to tie my shoelaces, but I don't have hands OR shoes?
 
@twobugs I just have shoelaces and a stump leg
 
@SPArchaeologist So, I'm scared to ask, but ... did anybody suggest "Go to store. Buy a lighter. Light the candle." as a solution?
 
I'd go out of my way to point out how stupid and dangerous it is to use alternative methods to light a candle if the question wasn't 4 months old
 
Kinda reminds me of the classic game "Pick Up The Phone Booth and Aisle".

@MartinSojka Pick up the phone booth and you'll what?
