Q: What order do we play the Megaman Games in (games not bosses)

Sam MendezI want to know how to play the individual games not the bosses.

 
@Lazers2.0 Mwhahahahaha. The poor poor poor soul that actually think Megaman plot makes any sense anymore.

Q: Do you need the [minecraft] tag for [minecraft-commands] or [minecraft-redstone] tag questions?

camelCaseRecently, I have noticed a lot of Minecraft questions are being edited mainly concerning tags. There are cases where the minecraft tag is being added (in the edits) to questions that are specifically regarding commands. For example: http://gaming.stackexchange.com/review/suggested-edits/205490...

 
@Wipqozn I thought you were a pro at turning women off.

ooohhhhhhhhh burrrnnnn cc @Wipqozn
 
2:15 PM
Sidenote: the dutch word for French toast is "Wentelteefje", which roughly translates to "little rotated bitch"
bitch being a female dog
just thought that it was funny considering the context
 
@Sterno OH BUUUUUUUURRRRN
cc @GodEmperorDune @fredley
@fredley 0/10 not friday
 
@fredley WAT!?
Yay, I've got ~6 hours in order to complete ~10 hours of work.
Guess I should get to it.
 
@Wipqozn that burn is so sick people in the audience are going "nice"
 
@MBraedley nah read a book instead
 
2:25 PM
@Wipqozn Not enough time!
 
@fredley Wat.
 
And I could theoretically stay even later, but staying after 6PM is a PITA since I have to deal with the alarm system company.
 
@Arperum ikr
 
@Sterno put your issue with Cortana on SuperUser, and watch it get ignored into oblivion
 
@Kaizerwolf I bet I'd get an answer on Lifehacks
 
2:38 PM
oh for sure
actually
put it on Area 51, I'm sure it would be well received
 
put it on lifehacks
 
1 min ago, by Sterno
@Kaizerwolf I bet I'd get an answer on Lifehacks
 
> The item, part of the New York brand’s accessories line that has previously included a hammer, calculator and fire extinguisher, is branded with Supreme’s logo and has been highly anticipated by fashion gurus since its preview last month.
 
@Sterno but... would you really use a solution that involves 8liters kerosene, 5meters dutch tape, two sliced apple, a shark teeth and 5 tbs of cocoa?
 
@Derpy Then he should use the second answer, which uses a car battery, 5 feet of christmas lights and an antacid tablet

2:45 PM
@Nzall are you sure? My mom (born Dutch) says she hasn't heard that word
 
@Ash I'm not sure if he's sure or not, but he is correct
 
@Ash it's the correct word. Many people know it better as "verloren brood", "gewonnen brood", klakaards (around Bruges) or "gebakken bokes" (around Antwerp"
Een wentelteefje (French toast), verloren of gewonnen brood, klakaards of klakoars (West-Vlaanderen) of gebakken bokes (Antwerpen) is een zoet broodgerecht. Het is populair als ontbijt in grote delen van Europa en Noord-Amerika. Sneden brood worden geweekt in een mengsel van melk en eieren en vervolgens gebakken. De term verloren/gewonnen brood heeft te maken met de wijze waarop dit gerecht is ontstaan. In vroegere tijden gooide men geen voedsel weg, daarom was het gewoonte om oud - maar nog niet beschimmeld - brood weer eetbaar te maken door middel van dit recept. Tegenwoordig wordt het niet vaak...
 
@Nzall Those are all horrible
 
@KevinvanderVelden what's so horrible about them? You probably used the wrong recipe
 
The words
 
2:50 PM
@KevinvanderVelden loose translations: "lost bread", "won bread", ERROR_TRANSLATION_NOT_FOUND and "fried slice of bread" (boke is small for bo, Antwerp dialect for slice of bread
 
I know, I am dutch you know
Which is why I can clearly state that wentelteefje is the only right word for this food
 
user15026
@KevinvanderVelden my mom was like "then again I don't know I have ever had French toast in the Netherlands"

10/10, would debate again
 
Rubin's vase (sometimes known as the Rubin face or the figure–ground vase) is a famous set of ambiguous or bi-stable (i.e., reversing) two-dimensional forms developed around 1915 by the Danish psychologist Edgar Rubin. They were first introduced at large in Rubin's two-volume work, the Danish-language Synsoplevede Figurer ("Visual Figures"), which was very well received; Rubin included a number of examples, such as a Maltese cross figure in black and white, but the one that became the most famous was his vase example, perhaps because the Maltese cross could also be easily interpreted as a black...
 
@fredley oh thank fuck

@Wipqozn Red line is blood pressure
 
@fredley lolol
 
That's the nowcast which is not great
But Trump is trending downward, hard
Also recently he has been revealed as a literal criminal
 
Correction: recently he has again been revealed as a literal criminal

3:05 PM
@SepiaLazers Commented on this. Can someone find the review for the edit I'm referring to (since it's difficult at best for me to do that on my phone)?
 
Knowingly breaking the Cuba embargo, not having certification to solicit money but doing it anyway
 
> pls help fix code
 
@twobugs "I was the one soliciting the money, not the foundation!" - something I could see Trump saying
 
For sure, but that's not a legal defense lol
But rich so who knows
 
@twobugs Yeah. Nowcast is an early indicator of how much debates are likely to impact the polls though
@twobugs Wait, you can solicit if you have the correct paperwork?
 
3:10 PM
@fredley But even the polls+ has improved a lot over the past week, so still good things.
 
@MBraedley tentative hope
 
@fredley Blue line is general happiness?
 
@MBraedley he's british, blue is time spend complaining about the weather and not politics
 
Probably the coolest thing I've seen in a while
 
it's hurting my eyes but I love it
 
3:22 PM
Ooh iiiinteeresting
 
The code is really short too
 
Wait it tiles for free? Niiice
 
@PrivatePansy The voxel models are crazy cool
Someone should make a game that's about a procedurally generated universe using some kind of algorithm.
 
@PrivatePansy Holy shit. That's really impressive. I'm looking forward to seeing this for in-game backgrounds
 
@fredley About unowned planetary atmospheres?
 
3:27 PM
And I want Minecraft to start using it for textures
 
@PrivatePansy Yeah.
 
Holy hell and it can autofill
And this is going into my gameprog bookmarks
 
afternoon all
 
This is a question from our introduction to operating systems midterms
 
3:38 PM
@PrivatePansy kill it
kill it with fire
 
Tail call optimization by the way is not a concept covered by the course
 
@PrivatePansy Again, this has nothing to do with operating systems, really.
 
The teacher is asking the students to deduce what tail call optimization is on the spot
 
@PrivatePansy yeah i never had stuff like this in my OS class
 
@PrivatePansy Because that's a totally obvious concept
@GodEmperorDune My OS courses were around how, like, Operating Systems work. How does memory management work? How does process sandboxing work? How do user permissions work?
 
3:40 PM
Trying to picture 'Tail call' as trying to solve for the optimal arrangement of men hitting on women in bars.
2
 
Tail call optimisation belongs in your Al Goreisms class
 
@fredley We're at week 7 and we already covered most of that, except user permissions
 
@MadMAxJr Hope it's not a recursive tail-call
 
@fredley yeah that sounds closer to what we did
 
@PrivatePansy ok
 
3:41 PM
@fredley like a dog calling its own tail?
 
We have to assume spherical men and women in spherical bars....
 
All I really remember is "In Unix, literally everything is a file. In Windows, literally everything is an object, even files"
 
Oh, we also got to write our own command line. That was interesting.
 
... in a vaccum.
 
we did Nachos
 
3:41 PM
@MadMAxJr Frictionless vacuum
 
basically take this barebones OS and make it slightly less barebones of an OS
 
@PrivatePansy That's pretty hardcore
 
I think most of the students spent more time trying to implement a proper string tokenizer in C
@fredley It's mostly just fork and execv
 
@PrivatePansy Haha, we wrote a compiler but iirc it was in Python or something.
 
@fredley wat
 
3:43 PM
The funniest part is that they already provided a StringTokenier.c sample, but almost everyone missed it
 
@GodEmperorDune All it did was compile a toy language.
 
Did you guys also write kernels in your Operating System classes?
 
So they spent hours dealing with C strings
Which was really not fun
 
Lex -> Tokenise -> Parse Tree -> pseudo machine code
@murgatroid99 No
 
@murgatroid99 not from scratch, but yeah
 
3:44 PM
My course was not practical at all, we mostly did Mathematics, as it applies to computation sort of.
 
added memory management, thread management, that sort of stuff
 
@GodEmperorDune I mean, we didn't have to go entirely from scratch. They gave us a bootloader
 
the last exercise was setting up user space vs kernel space protection
 
@murgatroid99 Not sure, but the next programming assignment looks like process synchronization using semaphores and shared memory
 
@murgatroid99 we used this
Not Another Completely Heuristic Operating System, or Nachos, is instructional software for teaching undergraduate, and potentially graduate level operating systems courses. It was developed at the University of California, Berkeley, designed by Thomas Anderson, and is used by numerous schools around the world. Originally written in C++ for MIPS, Nachos runs as a user-process on a host operating system. A MIPS simulator executes the code for any user programs running on top of the Nachos operating system. Ports of the Nachos code exist for a variety of architectures. In addition to the Nachos code...
 
3:46 PM
@GodEmperorDune mmmmmm
 
@GodEmperorDune Thanks. Now I want some. And it's 11pm here.
 
@GodEmperorDune In my class, they gave us an x86 bare metal simulator
 
@murgatroid99 you are considerably 1337er than I
 
I think it was this one
Simics is a full-system simulator used to run unchanged production binaries of the target hardware at high-performance speeds. Simics was originally developed by the Swedish Institute of Computer Science (SICS), and then spun off to Virtutech for commercial development in 1998. Virtutech was acquired by Intel in 2010 and Simics is now marketed through Intel's subsidiary Wind River Systems. Simics can simulate systems such as Alpha, x86-64, IA-64, ARM, MIPS (32- and 64-bit), MSP430, PowerPC (32- and 64-bit), POWER, SPARC-V8 and V9, and x86 CPUs. Many operating systems have been run on variou...
 
We didn't have to write a compiler (yet - I'm seriously considering taking up 2104 Intro to Programming Languages, which would almost certainly cover this), but for 2100 Computer Organization we did have to give reasonable translation of C code into assembly
Both as programming exercises and on test papers.
ie. we got to be human compilers.
 
3:49 PM
@PrivatePansy compilers were a separate course at my school
 
Same at my school
 
@GodEmperorDune Oh hmmm, there's a 4000 level compiler design module
 
but there were other classes where we had to translate assembly into what happened at the circuit board level
 
@GodEmperorDune That's our 2100
It was all very simple code, but we had to be able to do it
 
@GodEmperorDune Oh we did that
We had to write pong on an fpga, that was fun
 
3:53 PM
I need some Rebecca Black ASCII art so I can troll everyone in HackMUD
 
@fredley Nice. FPGA was mentioned in passing, but I think that was considered to be more EE, so it wasn't taught
 
@Sterno Just look at the first hit on Google for "Rebecca Black ASCII art"
 
@PrivatePansy That was our practical lab for a whole term, great fun
@murgatroid99 LM@murgatroid99TFY
@PrivatePansy It's kinda fun. You program up functions as normal, but instead of arguments and returned values, you have input and output wires.
 
@fredley The most we got to do was to put some microchips on a breadboard and use them to test our logic gate design.
 
3:56 PM
Only problem is it took ~40 minutes to compile the code and flash the FPGA.
 
I think the most we got up to was building a 4-bit adder
 
@PrivatePansy Yeah we built all the way up from transistors -> gates -> digelec circuites -> FPGAs
@PrivatePansy We did electronic debouncing with a shift register I think
 
It's dark in here. You are likely to be eaten by a Grue. It smells of Friday in here.

Q: Can minecraft be played only on 64-bit computers?

Programming coderI have a 32-bit computer and I downloaded minecraft and tried to play the demo. But when I started it, it said something like 'Error: could not initialize jvm 64' or something. So does that mean minecraft can be played on only 64-bit? I really want to play minecraft. Is there a 32-bit version or ...

 
4:09 PM
Whoo, completed job programming test/exercise in half the time allotted! It might be even a third!
 
@Yuuki Nice!
Now let's hope you got the right answer :P
 
Also, if you're writing tests for a stack-based RPN parser, don't use an expression where the correct answer is in the expression provided.
"10 3 /", for example.
 
I'm really liking the Good Place.
 
@Frank NO. DON'T MAKE US BE IN AGREEMENT ON SOMETHING
 
The basic functionality of returning the top of the stack would result in the correct answer without even having implemented the operation in question.
 
4:12 PM
@Sterno C'mon, man, be honest. We are fundamentally in agreement on most things. Except Arqade.
 
I DISAGREE
 
@Frank I missed the premiere and now I have to look for torrents WAIT UNTIL THE DVD RELEASE.
 
@Yuuki Hit me up on Steam.
 
@SaintWacko Well, I passed all the test cases they provided.
I'm now a little worried about how I worded the reply email I sent. Particularly the last part where I talked about the whole "10 3 /" that I mentioned earlier.

@Yuuki you can't watch it on the channel's site?
 
That's a weird definition of calm
 
@Unionhawk its french
 
That's a good point
 
@GodEmperorDune More than likely, I need to give cable provider information.
And I think I only have basic channels.
 
4:25 PM
It's CBS I think which should be included
Or maybe NBC
 
@Unionhawk They didn't do it American-style, and just taze and then shoot him?
 
@Yuuki not necessarily, many of them have free streaming of the last few episodes after a week of the airdate
i can confirm NBC does
 
@Unionhawk Geez
 
most of them have streaming on their (admittedly shitty but getting better) mobile apps

I wonder if there are some sane administrators, but hey, this is tiny Stack Exchange offspring, so the "community" is rather small. Here we got this @Frank again... Hopefully in the years ahead it will grow and self-administration will be more diverse and adequate. — TranslucentCloud 1 min ago
I don't know what else to tell this guy.
 
I'm always confused by people who look at a highly upvoted meta answer and think "Oh, it's just this one guy"
 
@Frank Nothing
 
@Sterno It wasn't actually a request for advice. More of a, "Yeah, I got nothing."
 
4:49 PM
I looked at that meta when it popped up on sepia lasers and was just like 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOPE"
 
I not intended, that @Frank is administrator, administrator has a special symbol near his username. I just regret this question was not attended by the one. I wonder what they would say. — TranslucentCloud 1 min ago
 
The actual moderators of the site are very good at responding to meta questions if there isn't already an answer that covers their views. But I'll ping a few of them in chat just to make sure they have seen this and have a chance to leave a different answer, if indeed they feel differently about it. — Sterno 14 secs ago
@badp @Wipqozn @Ash @StrixVaria @fredley consider yourselves pinged in case you think that meta needs a different answer
 
There's always people convinced they're a special case.
 
(I doubt you do)
 
The wierd part is he accepted the answer already.
So I have no idea what he's trying to accomplish.
 
4:57 PM
"I can opt-out of this whole flagging procedure" what?
 
I love that one of his (deleted) answers literally includes "[since I am apparently a spammer](meta) I will not link my thing"
 
@MadMAxJr He doesn't have to flag if he doesn't want to.
 
Like
 
Oh. Oh.
I thought he was claiming he could turn on immunity.
 
@Unionhawk That's his second deleted answer on that question
 
5:00 PM
@PrivatePansy NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 
@murgatroid99 Also yes
 
@Sterno Franks answer is quite fine, and I upvoted it. However I'll leave a comment showing public endorsement of it.
Actually I left a comment elsehere about it, actually, but I'll leave on there too and make it clear I'm a mod

No. NO. Kickstarter pledge rescinded!
cc @Wipqozn for the awful pun
 
@TranslucentCloud You can tell if someone is a site moderator if they've got little diamond next to their name (like mine, since I'm a moderator), and it'll usually be blue, too. So, with that said: I agree with Frank. Spammer or not, you do look like one since all of posts consists of a link to your application. If you're going to link to an application, especially one you made, it helps if you include instructions on how to use that tool to solve your problem, like you did here. — Wipqozn ♦ 5 secs ago

He is a man who enjoys his Gunpla kits, of course he's sane.
 
For arqade values of sane I suppose
 
@MadMAxJr I'm jamming LEDs into my MG Seven Sword right now.
 
I mean the only way he'd be insane is if he gutted PG kits for parts to make hybrids and customs.

@MadMAxJr I, uh, paint PG kits. And will probably mod them at some part. But generally I won't gut completed kits for that.

BuckyIn NBA2k17 blacktop mode, you unlock a new tier by "sinking shots" I've won a couple games but I haven't "sunk any shots." Is this a glitch? How do I "sink shots?" This is what it looks but for me none of the shot slots are filled in

@MBraedley not simple ones like that, no
but i've seen some convoluted business logic flowcharts that have lots of entry and exit points
 
Partitions plz
Why are you doing this
 
@twobugs gparted bruh
 
I don't think that would solve this
These hdds are abit fuct
 
time to bust out the magnets and start all over
 
Here is what has happened: I imaged both of these computers. They were used, so I reimaged them
This time I get an error the main partition is too small for the image
Okay, whatever, I will boot into Windows and fix it
By now the main partition is dead
So I clean the hdds, reformat, reimage
 
6:04 PM
Next week, my desk is moving for the third time since I started working here. And for the first time, we're moving to a different (neighboring) building
 
Now windows is installed but can't boot
 
@twobugs maybe there are some bad sectors where you are trying to write OS files
you can externally mount the HDD and use a different machine to try to repair if you know the individual files
or just run whatever recovery utilities
 
Well the weird part is there are two separate laptops with the exact same thing happening
 
@Yuuki chris pratt could troll me more than @fredley and i would still show up to look at those blue raptor commanding eyes
@twobugs is it a problem with something missing in the image then?

Food

Proposed Q&A site for the people who love and live food. Chefs and foodie have only one thing in common: they like good food. But what makes foodie different is an unconditional love for what they eat. There is no time, no place, no specs and no friend: just food.

Currently in definition.

 
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment that meta will be interesting
 
@GodEmperorDune Anarchy isn't completely synonymous with chaos. It's not a lack of rules, it's more that rules are made at the lowest level possible, which would be the SE itself
 
@MBraedley TIL
 
Although a splintered community would be quite possible.
 
6:27 PM
@GodEmperorDune Nope, it applies to other computers just fine
 
The key part of anarchism is the rejection of the idea that government is necessary for a productive society.
 
@twobugs so it sounds like a hardware issue, but it is weird that you would have the exact same hardware issue on two different laptops

@Unionhawk yeah that's my thinking as well
 
The guys from that one developer event (where I met a turkish arqade and anime.se user) is organizing another event and they sent me an invite (it is public and free, but they sent an invitation mail).
 
but who knows if they said "no" vs "let me think about it"

Question before I ask the question, Help center says this is on topic:

Game-specific hardware and utilities

Does that cover Discord questions? I didn't see a discord tag when I attempted to make a question
 
@Mitch Is the problem with Discord in a game?
Or just a generic problem?
 
7:51 PM
Well the question is 'how do I get discord to not show what game I'm playing'
so it's kinda gray to me
 
To me that would be on topic
(even though it doesn't relate to a specific game)
 
If it does that only for games, yeah, that'd be on-topic here.
 
Ok cool
 
If it does it for any app, I'd personally say it should go to SuperUser.
 
@Frank It isn't for any app. For instance, it doesn't say "@MBraedley is playing Firefox"
 
7:53 PM
Yeah, it's only for games
Any ideas on a tag for it?
 
It should just be on-topic period imo
Discord is meant to be atool for gamers
> Discord - Free Voice and Text Chat for Gamers
It's definitely gaming specific utility
 
gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/286903/… made it with "voice-chat" tag
 
@Wipqozn but teamspeak, ventrilo, mumble, etc
 
Thanks all
 
@Mitch Someone will retag it soon

Q: How can I make discord not show what game I'm playing?
