Q: Space Empires V

NemesisI'm a player of SEV, and I would play it online. I would have some servers links, (but not steam because every time I tried to launch it, it sucks for a reason or another), and also I'd like someone playing the game contcts me, in order to set up a private game.

 
Destiny is now preloadable.
those with slow internet have 2 weeks to download. das nice
 
Frank, since 2.0.5 gold bonuses stacks manipulatively. I have updated your answer based on this. — pfayze 7 mins ago
That word.
I don't think it means what he thinks it means.
 
@Lazers Good thought, but unfortunately not how it works.

Q: minecrfat 1.7.10 modded error

knifewhen I load up my game it comes up black screen with the mine craft background small in the bottom left help!! I don't know what to do the 1.7.10 mods I have are hats morph sync not enough items fossils and archaeology back packs dynamic mazes

 
7:27 PM
@StrixVaria Probably just a typo. Multiplicatively is bit of a mouthful.
 
"teh" is a typo. Accidentally correctly spelling "manipulatively" is something else.
 
@StrixVaria To be fair, multiplicatively actually registers as a misspelled word for me. And manipulatively is in the list of corrections.
 
That's interesting.
 
both are very big words...
 
I hadn't realized that the difficulty gold find is actually multiplied now.
Getting 16 times as much gold, compared to normal, is massive.
 
7:33 PM
@Frank Oh yeah, they did change that a while back. Before that it was stupid.
 
@StrixVaria That gives potentially large weight to the gold find affix.
 
@Rapitor I HATE YOU
 
Because I know I'm always strapped for cash.
 
user15026
Fucking hell. Realized when I went to bake my donuts the rack was in the wrong spot. (Oven was preheated). SO I tried to move it. Burned my arm in the process. Turned oven off. Donuts are delayed. Arm hurts. I am dumb.
 
@Frank I have about 30m saved up but I could spend it all immediately if I felt like upgrading gems.
 
7:36 PM
@StrixVaria That's where most of my cash goes.
I still haven't upgraded my emeralds to Flawless Royals.
 
I think my WD is one off max for most of his gem slots.
 
Much of my extra gold also goes into that level above Imperial, for more enchant ring rolls.
 
@AshleyNunn Clearly you must avoid strenuous work with said arm... so play Layton v Wright instead.
 
Jeah :D there is a rat on my lap
I am rat-sitting for a friend and the rat is adorable :)
 
@KevinvanderVelden :(
 
7:39 PM
@OrigamiRobot rats are adorable!
 
user15026
@Powerlord Would if I could, my friend. Would if I could.
 
@KevinvanderVelden Our cats agree 150%.
 
@KevinvanderVelden I AM NOT A FAN OF ANIMALS I CAN POTENTIALLY STEP ON BY ACCIDENT AND KILL
OR SIT ON
 
@OrigamiRobot but they're so cute, she just wants to run around and sniff everything
 
THEY CAN ALSO HIDE WHERE I CAN'T GET TO THEM
 
7:41 PM
@OrigamiRobot what did I do.
 
@Rapitor NOW YOU DID IT AGAIN!
 
@MartinSojka that's edible, different thing
 
@OrigamiRobot D:
 
@OrigamiRobot yes, this is a thing sometimes
 
I'm not sure our cats know the difference or would recognise it if they knew it ...
 
7:42 PM
@KevinvanderVelden DO NOT WANT
@Rapitor THE THING IS: REMINDING ME THAT DESTINY EXISTS
 
@OrigamiRobot My dog does this too.
 
@OrigamiRobot do you not want it to exist?
 
@StrixVaria TERRIBLE DOG :(
 
@OrigamiRobot well, my standard reaction is "Fine, then you can stay in your cage"
 
@OrigamiRobot Yes.
 
7:43 PM
@Rapitor I DON'T WANT IT TO EXIST IF I CAN'T HAVE IT
@KevinvanderVelden BUT IT'S NOT IN ITS CAGE!
 
Then I lift the pillows =p
I've never had one hide where I couldn't reach them except in their own cage
 
I'M NOT SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF "CAN'T GET TO IT"
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn Oh noes! kisses it better!
 
user15026
@FAE Ooh yay kisses make stuff better forever :)
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn :D
 
7:46 PM
@FAE [SHIPPING INTENSIFIES]
 
@AshleyNunn I've done that before :(
 
user15026
@SaintWacko I feel rather stupid.
 
For some reason I didn't think to pull out the rack the tray was on while trying to flip something. So of course I brushed my arm against the next rack up -.-
 
user15026
@SaintWacko Basically ovens are the worst.
 
user15026
I just want to make delicious donuts!

Q: switching between two resolution

Nejc GalofI have two monitors in different places. One have resolution: 1366x768 and one have 1920x1080. How can I do, when I used one monitor is automatic choise correct resolution? I don't want always change game.cfg file. Problem is because 1920x1080 is not a option in settings. Maybe this works with ...

 
@AshleyNunn Donuts sound amazing
 
@OrigamiRobot Now I just imagined a cross between Pandemic and Twilight Sparkle's Secret Shipping Folder.
 
user15026
@SaintWacko I am making chocolate glazed baked ones :)
 
@AshleyNunn drool
I am playing KSP :P
 
@AshleyNunn you should probably share.
 
7:49 PM
I designed these little probes that are designed to be dropped off from a ship flying through a planetary system
They include their own little satellite network
Which they deploy before descending to the surface
Well, I say little
Including their satellite/boosters, they're nearly 10 tons apiece
 
@AshleyNunn AS IN CAKE DONUTS?
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot yep like that
 
MARRIAGE IS BACK ON!
IN FACT, WE NEED TO ACCELERATE THE SCHEDULE!
 
@OrigamiRobot [SHIPPING RESUMES]
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot Oh man, if I knew it was that easy....
 
7:53 PM
@AshleyNunn THE WAY TO A MAN'S ROBOT'S HEART AND ALL
CHOCOLATE CAKE DONUTS ARE BY FAR THE BEST DONUTS
 
user15026
I quite like them.
 
@AshleyNunn PLEASE SHARE THE RECIPE SO I CAN MAKE THEM UNTIL YOU ARRIVE
 
user15026
If you don't have the right pan just make thewm in a muffin tin that will work too
 
YOU SAY THAT LIKE I HAVE A MUFFIN TIN
 
FAE
8:02 PM
@AshleyNunn You're talking to the guy that barely has silverware >_>
 
user15026
@FAE Haha I know, but it is easier to get a muffin tin :P
 
@FAE I HAVE SILVERWARE! IT'S BOWLS I DON'T HAVE
 
@OrigamiRobot how do you eat cereal.
 
@Rapitor I DON'T
 
well that's a problem
 
8:04 PM
NO IT'S NOT
 
lucky charms.
 
MARSHMALLOWS + GARBAGE
 
@GnomeSlice what the actual hell.
 
@Rapitor Use whatever is available.
 
8:06 PM
IF I'M EATING ANY CEREAL, IT'S EITHER GOLDEN GRAHAMS OR BRAN FLAKES (NOT RAISIN BRAN)
AND ON THOSE RARE OCCASIONS, I USE A TUPPERWARE
IF I AM COOKING SOMETHING IN A POT, I JUST EAT OUT OF THE POT. WHY DIRTY MORE DISHES?
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot I hope you don't scratch the pan with your silverware
 
also I hope you don't burn your junk with a hot pot when you put it in your lap
 
@FAE I'VE NEVER SEEN A SPOON SCRATCH SOMETHING
@GnomeSlice WHY WOULD I PUT IT IN MY LAP?
 
@OrigamiRobot Do you just eat standing up?
You can't put it on the table if it's hot either
 
@GnomeSlice No, you place the pot on a table.
 
FAE
8:09 PM
@OrigamiRobot Metal spoons can still scratch the coating on the inside of a metal pan
 
@GnomeSlice WATCH ME
 
@GnomeSlice Then place something under it to defend the table vs the heat.
@FAE My pots are still in perfect order. And I do the same, because I hate doing dishes.
 
@FAE OH WELL, METAL IS GOOD FOR YOU
 
@OrigamiRobot I feel like you shouldn't be left alone.
 
@AshleyNunn @murgatroid99 What did I tell you

Q: Is it possible to destroy both nexus at the same time? And what should happen after that?

FabiánJust curious. Say both teams are playing 4v4 teamfight, while one of each is backdooring each nexus. What could happen if both at the same time do the "destroying blow" to the nexus?

:^)
 
I'm sorry, I thought that was funny when I saw it.
 
That's running perilously close to NSFW.
Although, the first time you read it, yes, they are funny.
 
FAE
@Powerlord ...
 
user15026
@memescientist You aren't telling me anything you didn't say last night, and still, there is no proof in either direction of the veracity or lack thereof of this information.
 
Pssh, fine, I'll delete it.
 
8:19 PM
nooooooooooooo
 
@Powerlord Apologies to the ladies in the room, but I giggled a bit.
 
just hide it behind a link
 
...err... except it doesn't look like I can any more.
 
user15026
@memescientist So. Lemme get this straight, you are taking credit for this, and admitting you made up false information?
 
8:20 PM
@Rapitor I HAVEN'T DIED YET.
 
It's not false?
I have no idea
I'm not taking credit
I'm just saying whoever did it is a filthy liar
 
@OrigamiRobot You don't die, until you do.
 
@Frank IT'S NOT LIKE I CAN REGRET DYING LATER
 
shouldn't answers claiming to be devs without any proof be deleted or something?
 
Do they break any rules?
 
8:22 PM
impersonating a dev to make people believe you sounds like it should be if it isnt
 
user15026
@memescientist It sounds like you just admitted to doing so, with your claims about editing the name.
 
hm?
no?
besides
 
If the answer is wrong or unhelpful, downvote it
 
user15026
@memescientist I can still see deleted message history.
 
must have been a typo
I meant some other guy
but I mean, you can't believe everything you see on the internet
 
8:23 PM
pretty sketchy...
 
isn't that what you said yourself
8)
 
user15026
@memescientist Nice try.
 
Also, the email I chose was an attempt at a fake email
But I guess it worked out for all those free samples
 
user15026
@memescientist See, here you go again, taking claim for it.
 
@StrixVaria You might be interested in Super Combo Man from that humble adult swim bundle
 
8:24 PM
of cookie batter
 
I don't really like downvoting since i learned you lose points for it.
my precious internet points
 
@Rapitor esports points
Well if it's one thing I've learned
people on this site are easily gamed and gullible
 
@memescientist you would be a terrible defendant in court.
 
@memescientist It's a reasonable answer, even if the guy isn't who he says he is.
 
@MBraedley Well, whoever that guy may be
is a mystery we will take to our graves
 
8:26 PM
It's basically what I said in chat last night.
 
Although I guess bullshit passes for anything
 
@Rapitor There is only one thing I can see that's sketchy and you can't see it
 
Trying to find a quote I said last night
 
Most developers we've seen hit and run.
The answer seems written by somebody who has a minimum of a clue.
 
As long as you can make it sound official
ANything can pass
set yourself up to look official
and you can do anyyyyyyything
@badp Pretty much
I don't think that whoever the poster is has ever played league
 
8:27 PM
@BakedPotato Any proof you are a potato? — GnomeSlice 3 mins ago
 
@Rapitor While it is sketchy, it does not break any rules. If the answer is incorrect or unhelpdul, then it can be down-voted. Otherwise it is no different than users that don't mention a source
 
Bad @Gnome! Quit replacing the same comment!
 
Is it being deleted?
 
@GnomeSlice No
 
I mostly just assumed I posted it wrong or something
 
user15026
8:28 PM
@Batophobia Well, unless a user is impersonating someone without their consent.
 
^
 
since nobody has any clue who the poster is
 
@AshleyNunn Sounds beyond our average user-base
 
@AshleyNunn I AM @AshleyNunn AND I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE
 
user15026
@Batophobia Well, considering @memescientist is claimng just that has happened....
 
8:29 PM
@AshleyNunn As you said, everyone lies on the internet
I just thought claiming that it was me would make me sound cooler on the internet and win inter-web points
Sorrry ╮(─▽─)╭
 
@AshleyNunn Sounds like something that goes above Arqade
 
But since I don't even own that account
 
After all, aren't the accounts all through a general Stack Exchange system
 
There's no way it could be me, unless I actually did it
 
@memescientist do you happen to know whoever the poster is?
 
FAE
8:32 PM
Aw, I lost my turtle abuse power.
2
 
a guy at the company work with
he's also a 7k + user
he said he did this for a while
 
@FAE The turtle did it.
 
i just wanted to pretend to be him
 
Although @memescientist makes a valid point. Users of this site should just not believe a random user to be the real thing
 
too bad he probably already knows
 
8:34 PM
@Batophobia It's the internet.
 
FAE
@Arperum Curse you, turtle! shakefist
 
@Frank Exactly
 
Unless we require verification of all users, there's very little that can be done.
 
FAE
We don't exactly get twitter checkmarks here
 
It's less abuse of Arqade in general, so much as it's social engineering.
 
8:35 PM
@Frank And so, how can we keep that content off our sites?
Our goal is to ensure valid, correct answers
 
Down-vote incorrect answers
regardless of who the user claims to be
 
Because as a community, you are obligated to keep high-quality content on the site, and low-quality content off the site
Unless the end-game goal was to become Yahoo Answers 2.0
 
user15026
@memescientist So we do what we can, to the best of our ability.
 
user15026
No system is perfect.
 
To me anyone is innocent until proven guilty, so this user is who he says he is, until you can prove me that he isn't.
 
8:37 PM
@AshleyNunn But you can try to make it perfect
Saying no system is perfect is an excuse for laziness
 
@memescientist Not true at all
 
Meta exists to get changes out there
not to let everything stagnate
 
@memescientist Randomly nuking a user without proof is not "improving the system"
 
user15026
@memescientist No, it is accepting that there are faults in any system, and that there will always be a limit to the use of the system and the tools you have. Asking for improved tools is an option, but until such time as such tools are given, you work with what you have, and accept the faults that may come along with choosing to use any system.
 
@Arperum Nuking? ?
@AshleyNunn And just live with it? There is always something that can be done against it
I'm not really content on resting my laurels until change comes
 
8:40 PM
What would you say if some nation decided to nuke the hell out of wherever you live because the chance exists that there lives a terrorist a street away from you.
@memescientist nuking a user = deleting said user.
 
@memescientist You have to be patient on the powers that be to get around to making suggested improvements
If the tools do not exist, then they can't be used
You can ask for them, but they need to be developed, tested, etc.
 
@Batophobia But what harm is there to improvise?
 
user15026
@memescientist Nothing, as long as it falls within the mutually agreed upon system.
 
@memescientist What harm is there to blow up a continent?
 
user15026
Vigilante things never work well
 
8:42 PM
Except Batman
he works pretty well
but you are not batman
Pretty sure @JasonBerkan is batman
 
Always be yourself. Unless you can be Batman!
 
Playing on nostalgia is evil steam! Stop doing so! I don't want to spend money.
 
@Arperum Blowing up a continent is not improvising
 
@Arperum QUICK, GIVE YOUR MONEY TO ME SO YOU CAN'T SPEND IT!
 
8:44 PM
That takes planning, wouldn't you think
 
@memescientist Alright, half a continent
 
What, why is that flagged
pls no
 
@memescientist Yes it is. Improvising and planning have nothing to do with each other.
 
How can improvising and planning be separate?
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice I'd throw it behind a link to be safe at least. It's kind of gorey, you know? Even without blood. Can squick some people.
 
8:46 PM
squick?
Can't edit it any way
 
@Batophobia Gah, my englsih is breaking, can't properly explain.
 
It's pretty cartoony
 
Improvising implies you don't have a plan.
 
I always thought of it more like "quick planning"
 
@JasonBerkan But you can then create a plan based on your improvied thing.
 
8:47 PM
@JasonBerkan Nobody just says "OH HEY WE'RE OUT OF IDEAS, HOW ABOUT INSTEAD OF CODING EVERYTHING IN C++, WE JUST NUKE A CONTINENT"
>improvised
 
Example: MacGyver improvises by needing random things, but has a plan for those things
 
@memescientist Oh, we have no idea to catch the filthy enemies who are hiding in an area full of civilians, let's just bomb them until they come out.
 
I see your point about claiming to be devs, Retrosaur.
 
If that is planned and not some improvised solution, that's even more fucked up.
 
You've spent quite a lot of thought on the problem, after all.
 
8:51 PM
@badp You should post as an anonymous user and when someone asks how you know what you said, challenge them to a duel.
 
@JasonBerkan Unfortunately you need 5 reps to do that.
I mean, to post on meta.
 
@badp Pfft. We stopped using meta a long time ago. Now we just have long comment wars.
 
@GnomeSlice Fun fact: Apparently you can't delete a message once its been flagged either.
 
You definitely can.
Unless that's been changed recently.
Has to be within the normal editing window though.
Also welcome back @Powerlord

Q: If I worked for the game I'm answering about, how should I disclose that?

badpOn the one hand, I want to disclose the fact in order to comply with the no overt self-promotion policy. On the other hand, just about anybody can claim that they're the developer of a game and say anything and get upvoted just because they worked on it; I don't honestly care as I have stuff to ...

Q: Compare crafted item with offhand in Diablo 3 on consoles?

Lasse V. KarlsenWhen crafting new weapons for my Monk, which is currently dual-wielding (still levelling up), I can only compare the crafted item with my mainhand weapon.

BYE EVERYONE!

9:06 PM
> IPv6 adoption starting to add up to real numbers: 0.6 percent
Only 1/200th of the way there!!!
 
start developing IPv8
 
@Powerlord It's okay, the rest of the sites is just around the corner
 
At the rate of 0.5% every 20 years, we'll have 100% of the Internet on IPv6 in... just a measly 380 years!
 
@Powerlord Don't forget that the longer it does, the faster it grows.
 
I wonder what is the state of IPv6 readiness for Fortran
or Cobol
or VB6
 
9:16 PM
@badp The status of anything for VB6 is burn you rotten abomination!
 
@Powerlord How about VBA?
 
Did you mean... VBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHH
 
GBA
 
@Frank Even worse.
@Batophobia Based on context, Frank was talking about Visual Basic for Applications. i.e. Office scripting.
 
There's also VBS if you want
 
9:21 PM
@Powerlord Welcome to most of my work.
 
@Powerlord And I was bringing it back to gaming with Game Boy Advance
everything comes full circle :P
 
too soon, @Batophobia. too soon
 
@Powerlord Indeed. It is my curse (or blessing?) to support and fix those applications.
 
you can't force the circle
@Frank Condolences
 
@badp Hey, I had to deal with Sharepoint for two years.
 
9:23 PM
Could it be worse than recorded Excel macros?
 
I always seem to get the crap jobs.
@badp Those are just WSYWIG versions of VBA code.
 
Well yes the automatically generated VBA code is what remains
cell selections, user errors while recording, and everything
 
@badp But still VBA code.
 
Yes. Still terrible VBA code.
 
@badp I thought all VBA code is terrible, regardless of how it's produced?
 
9:26 PM
Well there's different brands of terrible
There's the terrible error messages for example, like -5308 or whatever its number was: "Application defined error"
WRITING CODE FOR AN APPLICATION WHILE USING VISUAL BASIC FOR APPLICATIONS MIGHT RESULT IN AN APPLICATION ERROR OF SOME SORT
HOW FASCINATING
 
@badp Better than, "An error has occurred."
 
Slightly.
 
Or Access randomly losing connection to the server, crashing, and giving, "Your network access has been interrupted. Please close and re-open the program." every single time you try to do so.
 
I had some error to fix today that the whole of the internet said was a permission issue. It ended up being a moron who installed it did bad and so registry is only half ok.
 
I'm happy that I only had to deal with Excel VBA
Usually my own! >__>
I WAS TOO YOUNG
 
9:31 PM
The last time I was supposed to deal with VBA, I managed to weasel out of it.
It helped being sick the first few days of the project kickoff (and no, it wasn't just me skipping work to avoid it)
Oh well, going home time

9:55 PM
I got my first Steward badge.
And, believe it or not, it's not for close votes.
 
@Frank Nope, but only 76 more for that one.
 
@TrentHawkins Really? goes and checks
Huh. So it is.
 
10:16 PM
I'd probably be considerably closer if I didn't hit skip so much.
 
I must say
I was not expecting this second play through of Ys Origin to be this different
I started it out of curiosity and, wow, the plot is almost completely different, and yet almost the same.
 
10:40 PM
So, I added an answer to that meta question. And I just want to say this because attention on that question seems to have dropped off, and I'd rather my answer not get lost in inattention.
 
@murgatroid99 you made a good point about mods
and I wrangled what I wanted to hear from @Batophobia's comments :P
@AshleyNunn wrapped it up nicely
now we would just need to go back to our "dev" answers and edit them accordingly
starting with the one that started the whole rigmarole
any volunteers? :P
 
@badp I will
Do you think I should edit the answer to remove any mention or implication that the author is a developer?
@badp I wasn't so much trying to emphasize mods as give an example of self-promotion that is likely to appear in an answer.
 
10:56 PM
Well I tried to do that and failed! So good job.
