Q: Why am I automatically plundering a friendly civilization's caravan?

I'm playing as America in Civ V and I'm currently in the year 1884. Greece is neighboring me and we are on friendly terms. For some reason, when I click "next turn", a pop-up says that I have plundered 100 gold from one of Greece's caravans and then Alexander immediately declares war on me. Why ...

@murgatroid99 I don't know

I assume his theory is that 3 million people voted illegally or something

murgatroid99

1:24 AM

I don't think there's a problem with using StackOverflow. I think there's a problem with being so dependent on it that when it goes down briefly you go "oh no the sky is falling" instead of "maybe I'll try to figure it out from the documentation"

Memor-X

@Ash i think the issue is just some people can't find answers anywhere else

@Ash oh yeh but of cause there's always the image that there is a subset of people who are really reacting like that.

like i said it's like facebook, people actually got sick when they couldn't access it because it was down for an extended period of time

because we've kinda been raised to believe you can always find a person to fix it

but so many online things don't have support now

AlON is optically transparent (≥80%) in the near-ultraviolet, visible and midwave-infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is 4 times harder than fused silica glass, 85% as hard as sapphire, and nearly 15% harder than magnesium aluminate spinel. Since it has a cubic spinel structure, it can be fabricated to transparent windows, plates, domes, rods, tubes and other forms using conventional ceramic powder processing techniques. AlON is the hardest...

cool

i will stay "with it" for as long as i can

Avery

@GodEmperorDune i consider dude as gender neutral too. And maybe bro a bit, while it was originally gender specific it changed a lot.

I really like how the most accessible and closest portion of required stuff is the bottleneck

Visa: 2 days on avg, passport: 3 days on avg, dad: 10 days on avg

GodEmperorDune

@Avery i realize that, but some ladies don't appreciate being called man|bro|dude

@Avery it's like one of those google interview problems!

if you leave the dad alone with the visa, he'll eat it

if you bring the visa ashore before the passport it will get rejected

and the flashlight only has 15 minutes of batteries

and one of them always lies and one always tells the truth

Avery

@GodEmperorDune well you cant apply for visa without passport so

Self note: call passport helpline later for more info

but for now Im sleepy as heck

gnight folks

Q: Why is there no Joypad mod equivalent for Newer Versions of Minecraft/Forge?

Clearly, well it seems clear to me, the demand for a Joypad equivalent for newer versions of Minecraft/Forge is there. However, despite this fact, there is currently no mod existing to fulfill this demand. It's already mind boggling that Minecraft fails to support joystick controls for their PC v...

@Lazers2.0 If I even would have wanted to make such a mod, I would wait longer now because of self-entitled people like this. Bah.

@Arperum "Go make it youself if you want it that much" is the open source equivalent of "why don't you marry that thing if you like it so much"

it's a rude and flippant non-answer that is beyond the capability of most people

Arperum

@Nzall The post just rubs me the wrong way. If he'd have asked nicely, I would not have reacted that way.

@Lazers2.0 Something I've wondered about questions like this: does the asset have to be directly lifted from the game itself? or if you can do pretty good drawings or music reenactment, would that also count?

Kevin van der Velden

That would still only be from memory so how do we know it's correct?

@Nzall it's a flippant non-answer to a rude and demanding person

Nzall

@KevinvanderVelden It would be more correct than a vague description based on the image they have in their head. I mean, if I were to tell you "a blonde man with a sword", that could be lots of things. If I draw the man and he has a really wide sword, then that's probably Cloud from FFVII

Kevin van der Velden

@Nzall still only based on the image they have in their head, not the actual thing

Nzall

@KevinvanderVelden Yeah, but you're likely to have less distortion of the source material. Going from visual to visual to text will be a lot less accurate than going from visual to visual to visual

I mean, most images in the head are pretty accurate as they are

badp

@Avery the entire cast of night in the woods is female and they keep saying "dude" and "bro" at each other and the design is gender-neutral and it confused me for a while

Nzall

10:38 AM

but then translating that to text loses a lot of nuance

badp

(I'm not even sure about the alligator)

I dunno maybe this is good maybe this is bad at least a bit of the plot hinges on queerness

Kevin van der Velden

@badp err, aren't gregg and angus male?

(also the dad is definitely male because... well yeah)

(though I suppose he barely counts)

(being a rather minor role from what I've seen)

(also text in parenthesis!)

Arperum

@Nzall The thing is that memory tends to be faulty, especially in this kind of situations. Some people have a seriously good memory for how something looked, but most don't. So they might make an image that does not at all represent the thing they are looking for.

The part of gameID-questions that is still allowed is there to allow people to ask questions like " what game was this character in this movie playing?"

source: rockpapershotgun.com/2017/02/27/night-in-the-woods-review

so they're a gay couple

Arperum

@Nzall This quote doesn't say anything about Gregg's gender.

Nzall

@Arperum Not even "him"?

Or is that my overly gender-biased interpretation of the masculine pronoun?

badp

it does say "boyfriend"

implying they're both male.

(this stuff kind of only revealed to the reader 2/3rds into the game tbh)
