Q: Did the HP of Dragonite get nerfed?

imaichikoI just powered-up my first Dragonite to 2750-CP. But his new HP is only 135. My 2750-CP Gyarados has 150-HP. And a 2000-CP Arcanine has 135-HP. Dragonites are supposed to be "tanky", but this one sure is not... What happened? How can I avoid such a disaster in the future? Before power-up: 1983-...

Q: How can I get my solider to get the Shaken status?

PaulI want to max out Psi Operative's will , to that I need to get my shaken status, but despite getting him gravely wounded in my last battle, he did not get shaken. Is there any way to make sure he gets shaken ? I'm tired of walking into enemy fire and firing rockets on my own men.

On a more positive note - walked by a Toronto masjid and it was covered in notes and posters and stuff being all like hey we don't hate you you are a valid and important part of our city
 
user15026
And I thought that was a nice thing to see
 
@Ash \o/ canada is full of yay

Between that and the two Christian church signs I saw near home that said we stand with our Muslim brothers and sisters, it just gives me hope that maybe not everything is completely shit

why is the end of this game so much platformer garbage
the best part about the gameplay of owlboy was the lack of platformer garbage

Q: why is my minimap in twilight princess like this?

GraphicsPadawan I started up the game and when it goes through the cut-scenes it's fine, but whenever it's not there's this mini-map which is just messed up. I use Dolphin 3.5.

 
but yes you do NOT want to play the end of this game on a 360 pad
you need a decent dpad
or you need to unbind the up direction on the pad with steam
 
@Ash At the same time, that's gotta be a pain to clean up.

Q: How can I take a full screenshot of the Pokedex?

Montag451I'm trying to take the full screenshot of the pokedex in Pokemon Go but I couldn't figure out how do it. I've tried many different tools which all ended up unsuccessful.

possiblerant.xyz.stackexchange

Proposed Q&A site for everyone related to the xyz.stackexchange.

Currently in definition.

yesterday, by Memor-X
@Dragonrage it's a Stack Exchange for ranting on about what happened to you in a Stack Exchange Site, evident by the ranting example question
the proposal was closed as a duplicate of Meta Stack Overflow. thus Meta Stack Overflow is used for ranting
 
@Memor-X kk, I will presume you have never heard the phrase Ranting and Raving :)
 
@James they're both the same aren't they? at least in terms of bitching about what happened to you on SE
 
@Memor-X Was a world play joke.. nevermind :)
 
> Asami: Bolin, you need to be honest with her. Tell her how you really feel.
Varrick: Honesty is for fools, kid.
Bolin: Varrick?

Asami: Where are you?
Varrick: Somewhere Unalaq will never find me. [head appears from stuffed platypus bear's mouth.] Inside Ping-Ping!
i can't keep a strait face from that

@StrixVaria I picked it up for PC because GMG had it for 20% off. Should've gotten in on PS4 though, because I have two local friends who got it, and you're playing there, so we would've had a full team. :(

@angussidney go smokey \o/
unrelated: I just switched to iphone and holy hell these phones are locked down
like, getting pictures off took me 3 days to figure
 
@Avery looks like it's working then
@Avery I originally synced my iPad to my old computer, since then I have done 3 reinstalls of windows and 2 upgrades, and the only way to get stuff on and off my iPad without wiping it entirely is to upload to dropbox and then download it onto another device. Coupled with a slow upload speed (~20kB/s), it's excruciatingly annoying
Why apple do you have to be so locked down?
 
I installed itunes but it wanted to take full backup while I had no space for thaat
I installed iexplorer but it needed serial
I installed ifunbox but it froze on photos screen
I then discovered that I can just copy the DCIM folder off from photos from utilities tab in ifunbox, which i did.
 
It's just like 'Can I copy over some books?'-"Nope" 'Can I put some music-' "Nope" 'Can I-' "Nope"

Q: How much steel does the campaign yield in For Honor

ReacesI've recently finished the campaign in For Honor, and noticed a few games later that I had a lot of steel. I finished the campaign on Normal, so according to what I found online I should have gotten 4000steel. However I also found some speculation that you are able to receive steel multiple time...

 
@Avery iphone used to be a lot easier to get stuff off of, but they changed then encryption with an ios update a few years back, so a lot of the iexplorer type programs are more or less useless now
 
@GodEmperorDune ikno
I was an iphone user from ios 3.1.2 to 7.smth
 
Yeah i think it was around there that they did it
I remember because I was using I explorer to fool around with game files, finally I paid for the thing, then upgraded iOS a few months later and boom, money wasted

Q: Blocking Lawbringer's Impaling Charge

C_BIs there any way to block Lawbringer's Impaling Charge move? I know a possible way to negate this is to dodge left or right but I'm looking for a way to parry, block or counter this charging attack. Perhaps only certain characters can do this? Any insight is greatly appreciated.

 
I just spent 40 minutes trying to figure out why the changes I made weren't propagating to my local dev environment
 
@KevinvanderVelden I guess that 'e' is optional.
 
turns out they were, but I was editing the wrong file,
which I had to edit anyway, but still, damn annoying to lose over half an hour of work because you weren't checking file names
 
Why do you even have files with identical content? Or close enough to utterly confuse them.
 
10:24 AM
I have a set of configuration files (mostly just database and name) per customer
 
That way I can just copy and paste them to the proper directory to work on that customer
I like that ny times consistantly calls trump "Mr. Trump"
 
@Arperum Because one file gets swapped to the other through javascript if certain pages are loaded
 
but there are minor differences like some labels that are different

But I realized it was a glitch) I have a level 50 (it's around there) Female talon flame to make my eggs hatch faster to get a female ...

 
It's numerically zero, but it's logically true. It's a meow-racle!
 
@Codingale assuming i'm looking at the right thing (Wall of Flesh glitch) then i do believe it's on topic. from what i gather the OP is asking if this is normal behavior and how they can get pass it
 
At least it's slightly more explicit than variants like "0E0", "0x0", "0b0", "0o0", "00", "000000000000000000000000", etc., nyaa.

@Memor-X to me, it seems like it needs, ya know a question.. it kinda just states what's going on. Plus a few comments are talking about making a bug report instead of posting here. I know we don't support minecraft bugs etc (unless it's a feature!)
 
…………xD
 
@Codingale my understanding is that Arqade doesn't support modded minecraft bugs, vanilla minecraft bugs is another thing which i believe is allowed but i doubt you can get much of an answer
 
wait, it was minecraft mod crashes, not minecraft mod bugs

Is it a No Man's Sky that doesn't suck?
 
I mean No Man's Sky wasn't actually that bad... It was just nowhere near as good as promised.
 
From what I've seen no man's sky was a decent tech demo in need of actual content and balancing
 
As someone who played it about 20 hours and bought it for two systems and doesn't regret it too much, I'll still say it was a pretty bad game
Most of the good parts were due to thinking there was more depth behind what you were doing than you could see, and thinking you were building to something
Realizing it wasn't the case was a pretty big let down
 
Yup, decent tech demo ^^
 
1:02 PM
A huge part of the game is learning these languages or finding these abandoned outposts that have these narrative logs in them, or following the Atlas path, thinking someone that's going to lead to deeper gameplay or story or meaning. No
 
I usually look at it as an Elite Dangerous with more interesting planets and less interesting gameplay. I like both games though.
But I gotta admit I've got ten times the playtime in elite lol
 
@Sterno It's an open world game. Like Shadow of Mordor. It's the one with the robots.

@Wipqozn It certainly looks very pretty.
 
@Yuuki Indeed. I might pick it up, but won't be for a bit. Too many other games coming out around now.
@Yuuki also I watched Kubo and the two strings. It was good. Sadder than expected.
 
I'm tempted, but it's not a console seller for me.
 
2:02 PM
@Yuuki I feel like this could be optimized tbh
 
Actually, I'm not sure if anything's a console seller for me anymore.
@Unionhawk Well yeah, if that was a completely optimized run, I wouldn't suggest it as something @Fluttershy could do. There's room for him to WR.
 
@Yuuki oh you don't own a PS4? WEll, in that case yeah. It's supposed to be really good, but it's ultimately just another open world RPG
 
@Wipqozn I still have to finish upgrading my PC so I can do my Dark Souls 3 playthrough.

Washington's Birthday is a United States federal holiday celebrated on the third Monday of February in honor of George Washington, the first President of the United States, who was born on February 22, 1732. It can occur on the 15th through the 21st of February inclusive. Colloquially, the day is also now widely known as Presidents' Day and is often an occasion to honor all persons who have served as president, not just George Washington. The day is a state holiday in most states, with official names including Washington's Birthday, Presidents' Day, President's Day, and Washington's and Lincoln...
(it is president's day)
 
@Unionhawk Yes and no.

I mean what kind of country celebrates the birthday of their... oh wait /cc @KevinvanderVelden

And by important I mean "they shouldn't just be 'Bank Holiday #7'"
 
I have like a dozen other open world games on PC that I want to finish before considering getting a console for them: Witcher 3, Dragon Age 2, Saint's Row 2, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Mad Max, The next South park game, Assassin's Creed Rogue, Fallout 4, Tyranny, Shadow of Mordor, Kingdoms of Amalur, Elder Scrolls 4,...

@KevinvanderVelden It's always on a weekday, IIRC.
 
@Unionhawk actually no

I just realized I've been waiting for Mother 4 for almost 9 years. At least with other vaporware the devs don't say "it'll be released this year" every year
 
> Washington's Birthday is a United States federal holiday celebrated on the third Monday of February
 
@Yuuki And yet, the SCROTUS is still denying Global Warming is real
 
@Yuuki I'm talking about the thing @badp was talking about
 
because the king's birthday is like in February and it's cold and stuff so he holds it in May
I think
 
Which is always on a fixed day of the year
 
2:15 PM
@badp ...ok
 
on a date close to, but not quite, his late wife's birthday, and previous Queen's Day
afaik
 
Actually it's on his birthday
 
I might have been fed fake news from your fellow dutchmen
OR you might be your fellow dutchman feeding me fake news
OR the king changed his birthday.
 
You'll never know throws smokebomb on the floor for sneaky escape
 
like kings can do that yes?
 
2:17 PM
@Nzall I just imagine that on the day either we, our children, or our grandchildren build generational spaceships or FTL spaceships to leave Earth, there's going to be a litmus test on climate change.
 
Also queensday (i.e. for the previous monarch) was on a different day to her birthday
 
@badp I mean technically no, but
 
(she was born 31th of jan according to the googles)
 
oh so THAT is what they told me about
 
If you think there's no climate change, you can stay on Earth since it's so perfect and not changing.
 
2:18 PM
SHE moved it to may whereas the king is holding it on his actual bday
 
Also bridge seems to trigger "somebody kills all chrome processes" on my work pc or something
Which is... Interesting
 
I would totally go and be a part of elon musk's mars colony where people will probably be environmentally conscious
 
Koningsdag (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈkoːnɪŋsˌdɑx]) or King's Day is a national holiday in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Celebrated on 27 April (26 April if the 27th is a Sunday), the date marks the birth of King Willem-Alexander. Up until 2013, when Queen Beatrix abdicated and was succeeded by her son Willem-Alexander, the holiday was known as Koninginnedag (Dutch pronunciation: [koːnɪˈŋɪnəˌdɑx]) or Queen's Day and was celebrated on 30 April. The holiday was initially observed on 31 August 1885 as Prinsessedag or Princess's Day, the fifth birthday of Princess Wilhelmina, heir to the Dutch throne...
 
@badp also it was april 30th, not may (close! but not may)
 
because he's elon and he just does that kind of thing
 
2:19 PM
@KevinvanderVelden uhhh
 
Also the 30th was the day she became queen so that's probably why that day
 
@BlueBarren I mean, if you're going to Mars, they're probably going to try to induce climate change.
 
I was fairly certain the previous queen's day was after the current king's day
 
@Yuuki are you telling me I'm the reason we have climate change?
 
based on the amount of tourists who booked in advance
 
2:20 PM
Current kings day is 27th of april, previous queens day was 30th
 
@BlueBarren More like it's not as if we're really intent on preserving Mars's climate if we have plans to colonize it.
 
Source: being dutch, also wikipedia
(I mean, I remember the date for queens day, that's my dad's birthday!)
 
@Yuuki that's why we make elon king of mars. He seems to care so he won't let it happen
I would fight for elon
 
If you're going to mars you really want climate change
 
@BlueBarren He jokingly said that we should nuke Mars's ice caps to induce terraforming.
That sounds a lot like climate change to me.
 
2:21 PM
Because mars currently does not have a very hospitable one
 
@KevinvanderVelden Pretty much.
 
actually wait yeah
I was totally thinking climate change is a bad thing
but on mars you'd probably want it
durrrrr
 
@BlueBarren It's a bad thing on Earth because the current climate on Earth is good for us.
Or at least the pre-Industrial Revolution climate.
 
@Yuuki and that's why I had a durr moment
 
Or more accurately, we're very well adopted to the climate on earth
 
2:22 PM
I blame the government
 
If the greenhouse effect runs away too hard on Earth, we end up with Venus 2.0
 
My biggest reason to runaway to mars is because I don't trust the people of earth not to kill me over greed
 
If the greenhouse effect is introduced on Mars, we end up with Earth 2.0
@BlueBarren And you think Mars will be any different?
 
@Nzall if Elon Musk plans on colonizing it then I'm hopeful
Not saying it's a sure thing
but I have hope
You just have to prevent any existing government from landing on the planet
Obviously you'd have to have some kind of government on Mars but I think it should be a new one
 
@BlueBarren I agree that a Mars colony should be more like an independent nation

@BlueBarren people used to be assholes a few thousand years ago and they probably will still be assholes a few thousand years in the future. No matter where.
Provided our species survives that long.
 
I understand that's an inherent problem of our species but the thing is not everyone is
No matter how Mars goes I have no doubt we'll end up just as bad though
But I can hope the beginning will at least be nice
Because not everyone is inherently assholes
 
Eeeh give it some time and Robo-Trump will be the first orange robot president on mars
 
Hopefully it takes 45 leaders of Mars before that happens
because ideally I'll be dead
and it's someone else's problem
 
@Jutschge And then we can give RoboTrump a kick against his RobotRump
 
I hated this bit of the game, but the soundtrack? hmmm
 
2:32 PM
Btw anyone here playing For Honor on PC?
 
@Jutschge I don't but I'm curious why you're asking

@BlueBarren new government won't fix the inherent issues with putting fallible people in charge
 
@BlueBarren Playing alone sucks :(
 
@Ash So you're advocating we put cyborgs in charge... hmmm
 
user15026
I just feel like that might be a better choice, is all ;)
 
2:34 PM
@Ash and not everyone is fallible. So you can hope the first couple might actually be good people i.e. Elon Musk and by the time we get to more questionable leaders I'll be dead.
@Jutschge well if I had the game I'd play with you
 
@BlueBarren If you like PvP I can really recommend it. I was really skeptical at first but damn... Now I can't stop playing it.
 
@Jutschge PvP is meh in my opinion but that doesn't mean it's not fun I just enjoy single-player/cooperative experiences more
I'm probably not going to get For Honor for a really long time or at all I was just expressing that I'm okay to play with you or anyone else
 
Hmm well there is a singleplayer campaign and you can play vs AI but then it's probably not worth the $70 IMO
 
Hence I won't get it for a while
maybe when it's $15 CAD or less
 
I personally think a colony should A) be independent from other countries; B) have equal international or interplanetary political power as the other planetary entitites and governments and C) have a government that doesn't depend on a single man

@BlueBarren everyone is fallible.
 
@Ash but some people just seem to be less fallible or when they are it's not as bad
 
@Nzall Point A means it'll have to almost completely be privately funded. Which may or may not put it in contention with Point C.
 
@BlueBarren No one is ever perfect.
It's the human condition.
 
@Frank Speak for yourself.
@ronnie is a masterpiece of humanity.
 
user15026
@BlueBarren that you see. Especially with celebrities or other well known people. Trust you don't see everything.

Also, "not as bad" is such a subjective thing
 
@Frank good thing I'm not assuming anyone is perfect ;)
 
@Yuuki Or the colony should be a combined effort between multiple space-faring nations in agreement to not make any claims to Martian soil, as decreed in the Outer Space treaty
The Outer Space Treaty, formally the Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies, is a treaty that forms the basis of international space law. The treaty was opened for signature in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union on 27 January 1967, and entered into force on 10 October 1967. As of January 2017, 105 countries are parties to the treaty, while another 24 have signed the treaty but have not completed ratification. In addition, the Republic of China (Taiwan), which is currently...
 
@Ash Sure when it comes to celebrities you may not know everything but that doesn't mean there aren't people who just seem to be better than others. I would say not as bad is mostly subjective but there can be instances where it's objective. If I make 4 mistakes and you only make 2 how can you not say I'm worse than you?
 
@Nzall That's supposedly the case with Antarctica but US research bases are pretty much only where the US territory was pre-treaty. The same with every other nation except China, who didn't sign the treaty. They put their research bases in the places leftover.
 
@Yuuki That's because nations actually HAD claims to Antarctica before the Antarctic Treaty was signed, and those claims are technically still in effect
> Article 4 – The treaty does not recognise, dispute, nor establish territorial sovereignty claims; no new claims shall be asserted while the treaty is in force;
So none of the previous claims have been unmade, and no new claims may be made by sovereign nations

Q: What the F***ing Hell?

Lance StarskyOkay so here's the Spaghetti Sauce. In 2014 I bought Far Cry: The Wild Expedition (Whole collection from Classic to Blood Dragon) from a local video game store. I opened the box to find Far Cry 2&3 on disc while the other 2 were digital versions with provided Download Codes. Now since I've never...

 
And with outer space, it's similar, but there weren't actually any claims at the time the treaty was signed, because noone had been to the moon yet at that time
