@Sterno How many of the 74 million views are from The Bridge?
 
@JasonBerkan Too many
 
badp has removed Sterno from the list of this room's owners.
 
When we're all old and retired, we'll see kfVsfOSbJY0 flash across the screen and immediately start screaming.

Q: Why is there no quest option after level 305?

JennyCompleted level 305, and for the first time there is no play quests option. I'm not on facebook and haven't been in 8 months. I tried shutting down my Android and turning it back on... nope. I tried turning off wifi... nope. It's been 14 hours since I completed level 305. What's up?

 
You're already old. When I'm all old and retired... well.
 
@StrixVaria Wise Man's Fear finished. Fantastic book. Absolutely fantastic. I liked it a lot better than the first book.
cc @AshleyNunn the first thing you should on christmas is read your copy fo the wise mans fear
 
Shia LaBeouf
 
5:13 PM
> "All three were 12 at the time."
humanity.hope--
 
What the fuck
 
@Sterno That just played on my iPod, are you a wizard?
 
Yes
When you get that old, you gain +10 to wizard-status
 
@MadMAxJr It's actually a lifehack
 
Q: What are some tips to survive an encounter with Shia LaBeouf?
 
5:19 PM
Common Sense Answer: Avoid all encounters with Shia LaBeouf
 
@Batophobia -1 off topic answer
 
@Unionhawk -1 answers can't be off-topic
 
@Unionhawk -1 being @Unionhawk requires that you be wrong
 
@badp (the joke is that this is an argument that people at lifehacks.se actually make)
 
I saw that in their meta...
 
5:22 PM
@MadMAxJr A: be Shia LaBeouf
 
I'm afraid of posting opinions anywhere now because I'll be flagged as 'anti-carbon based lifeform' for my response/opinion.
 
Or, have made, anyway
My prediction is it'll die in private beta by whenever their "week to get your shit together" deadline ends
 
Has stack ever pulled a beta site off life support and closed it?
Board and Card Game exchange inchworms along, but has never become much of a thing.
Worldbuilding appears to have shotgunned the majority of reasonable, askable questions in the first three weeks.
 
Yes
 
@MadMAxJr I believe Libraries was shut down. @AshleyNunn would know for sure - she was a temp mod.
 
5:25 PM
@Unionhawk I thought the joke was lifehack.SE!
 
@JasonBerkan Yeah, it was
@badp Well, that too
 
@MadMAxJr BCG will probably stick around. TCGs will always have new stuff, and new stuff makes new questions
 
@MadMAxJr a few, yes. notably Atheism
 
It will probably happen more often, as SE's new policy seems to be to open sites and see if they stick.
 
And Worldbuilding has spent a lot of time on the hot questions list in the past few months
 
5:27 PM
@JasonBerkan that is pretty much what they've said, yes
 
Lifehack.se Q: Any tips on not getting this site shut down?
 
So, for example, rather than setting lifehacks on fire on their own, letting lifehacks become a thing and see if it sets itself on fire?
 
-1 OFF TOPIC
I think Lifehack started off on fire.
 
@MadMAxJr Technically yes, since that would be migrated to meta
 
5:30 PM
@Unionhawk yup
 
-1
Q: Are there any glitches for call of duty black ops 1 or 2 zombies?

Justice ChurchillI have not been on line before so no updates or patches please answer thank you

 
@Unionhawk I think a more accurate example would be pointing out to lifehacks that they are on fire and see if they can put it out.
 
"Hey. You're on fire. You should probably do something about that."
 
> I see you are trying to catch on fire, would you like any help with that?

Q: Close reason request: They haven't tried anything

MoosemanCan we have a close reason such as this: Questions that don't give information about what has been tried are off-topic for Lifehacks. Questions searching for a substitute tool require a reason why the conventional tool is not an option. I think most of us have already agreed that the above ...

 
The SO is strong with this one
 
@Yuuki Closing "How do I keep Shia LaBeouf the cannibal from eating me?" as "You haven't described how you've tried to prevent him from eating you."
 
So Warballoon has finally released an alpha for PC Star Command.
For a game we didn't actually back.
 
@Frank So apparently FFXIV is $10 right now. I might give it a shot.
 
@Yuuki Ooh! Behemoth server!
 
5:49 PM
@Yuuki I'm pretty sure "lack of research" is a downvote reason, not a close reason
 
@murgatroid99 Mhmm....
 
Speaking of, I wiped my phone with the security key. I'm gonna need to call them to get that removed.
 
The iOS FF games are half price right now on the app store
 
Which means they're still like $8-9
 
5:52 PM
@Unionhawk I feel linking another thing from Arqade might be a little suspicious.
 
Stupid Microsoft, not releasing the debug DLLs for the various versions of Visual Studio. Now I have to install VS2005 Express, just so I have a copy of those DLLs. (The release DLLs, BTW, are installed with the redistributable.)
 
Yeah oh well
Poof
 
@Unionhawk That didn't last long.
 
Because I poofed it
 
@Yuuki Meh, if they aren't aware of our trolling efforts to help them by now...
 
5:54 PM
Did Arqade graduate out of Area 51?
 
@Yuuki Yep
 
Well, there's probably a good reason to keep linking Arqade stuff then.
 
Gaminggaming.stackexchange.com

Launched Q&A site for passionate gamers from all platforms (computers and consoles)

 
We're probably the biggest site to graduate from Area 51, aren't we?
So... we're the success story.
 
We're not doing too bad over at RPG.stack
 
5:56 PM
@Frank Top example question: "Where can I find a walkthrough for [Game X]?"
 
@Batophobia We've undergone much refinement since those heady days.
 
Though there's a standing army of people ready to close things for being off topic the second they're posted on RPG.
 
#3 question: "Which adventure games don't require quick responses (at any point) and so could be completed by a senior citizen?"
 
Basically, we can function as a guide for "these are places you might have trouble with, resolve them quickly and efficiently if you want to survive on SE".
 
God Damn that's a good drop
 
5:58 PM
Lots of these example questions would be immediately closed now
 
Meh, I poofeded it. I don't actually care enough at all.
 
umm...
 
JP.SO began before the internet
 
Valkyrie Chronicle's big sale is that it's 25% off? LAME
 
@Sterno It's still worth every penny.
 
6:05 PM
Do I want Deus Ex Human revolution for $4, or the whole collection for $8... hmm...
 
@Unionhawk Spend less money because you probably won't play the other games.
I call this The @Sterno Principle.
 
You make a good point (and it's only 2 games)
No, 4 I lied
 
Human Revolution was the 3rd game
 
The @Sterno Principle: always spend less money when you have a choice of game packs and DLC packs because you probably won't play that game anyways.
 
is there a tie-in?
Or is Project Snowblind in there too? :P
 
6:12 PM
It's Deus Ex: GOTY, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Deus Ex: Invisible War, and Deus Ex: The Fall
And at a buck 74, might as well pick up Deus Ex: GOTY
 
@Unionhawk You're not going to play it.
Trust me.
I have Deus Ex: GOTY.
 
Yeah
You're probably right
Oh well
 
I haven't touched it in... when was Human Rev released?
 
Iunno
And I'm not looking it up
I'm going to guess 2012
Was I right?
 
2011.
 
6:16 PM
DAMMIT
 
I've owned it for 3 years and I have not even installed it.
 
so close
Meh, I've had lots of bundle stuff in my library for longer
 
That buck 74 can be spent on something else. Like one of my Steam Cards that are on Market right now.
 
Er, no, not quite
 
At least that way it becomes somewhat useful.
 
6:19 PM
Lol @ that price crash
It's like Inbox is reminding me of what I did and how much I spent on what I did
 
@Unionhawk it's not a thing that has stopped happening
 
Bought Hack 'n' Slash, Spacebase DF-9 popped up in inventory
 
You were punished.
 
No, before I moved to inbox I could just say "yeah yeah steam store I bought a game" - now it's like "You bought ETS2 for $10 you idiot" or whatever
And I can't just not open it for it to remind me
 
> Gifts become tradable 30 days after purchase. This gift will become tradable on Jan 18, 2015.
Can't even get rid of it for a month
 
6:33 PM
@Unionhawk archive it
@Batophobia you can still, um, gift it
I think.
You just can't get something back for it.
 
@badp It appears so
 
@Batophobia Trading, yeah, can't. Gifting, though, no problem.
 
2 friends want this game
 
@Sterno It's a good title for free, since you can enjoy it for about 20 minutes. The fact that they're even still trying to sell it, though...shame on Double Fine.
 
@badp SHUT YOUR OBVIOUS-SOLUTION FACE
-1 SOLUTION TOO OBVIOUS
 
6:38 PM
TO LIFEHACKS!
 
@TimStone Funny that they have a specific bundle that is Hack'n'Slash and Spacebase, but bought one and the other was just given to me
 
I saw that too. The only way you could justify that is if you for some reason didn't want the best deal on Hack'n'Slash
"It's better when I pay more!"
 
Hack n' Slash looks interesting, but I already have way too much to play and do.

Q: Skyrim-enb crash to desktop

user3854423So i've been trying to install enbs on skyrim for a while now but they never work ~ for example when I try to use realvision's installer I get sone error about a missing file and it fails to install, also when I try to manually install a different enb, it seems to work until I load a save,after w...

 
That kind of logic has no place in a Steam Sale.
 
6:43 PM
/me wants this on his S3, then remembers it's a S3 and dies
 
Even better when you realize that Spacebase alone is $2 more than Hack'n'Slash
 
sigh How is Notch buying a super expensive house gaming news in any sense?
 
Breaking story! Gabe Newel buys a car!
 
@MattЭллен Sadly, that would probably be a headline.
 
@Frank He's a game developer. Game developers typically do not get so rich they can outbid movie stars. News.
 
6:49 PM
@Sterno He was a game developer. He hasn't made anything in years.
 
@Frank If anything, that makes it more impressive!
 
Warm hat is best hat
I have no idea how I got it
But is best hat
 
I have like 5 hats and I don't even do anything
 
@Sterno Are you forgetting how big Minecraft is or the recent purchase from Microsoft?
 
@Batophobia Why would I be forgetting that?
Game developers are typically not rich enough to outbid movie stars. THAT IS THE STORY
 
6:58 PM
@Sterno YOUR FACE IS THE STORY
 
With that much, I'm sure outbidding most movie stars is not that hard
 
My face is an awesome story
 
@Batophobia THAT IS THE STORY
If the story instead were that Phil Fish or whoever the fuck failed to outbid a movie star for a mansion, then we'd all be saying "No shit... when does that ever happen?"
 
3rd monitor acquired, finally
 
7:01 PM
Well, at least it's better than most of the other news stories out there

Q: Can someone tell me what the exact problem is? And why this crashes?

Rookie---- Minecraft Crash Report ---- // There are four lights! Time: 19/12/14 18:55 Description: Initializing game java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: cpw/mods/fml/common/ITickHandler at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.forName(Unknown Source) at cpw.mods.fml.commo...

 
@Wipqozn Really? I definitely remember liking the first book better.
 
@Batophobia It doesn't beat NASA emailing a socket wrench to space, though!

@StrixVaria The tree made book 2 awesome. But all the sexing took away from it
I'm still wondering if book 3 will make me feel like the entire series was a waste of time, because it's looking like a strong possibility
 
@Sterno I liked the tree and I liked the martial arts people. Other than that book 2 felt kind of rambly.
 
@StrixVaria Well we all know you can never trust a turtle.
 
7:15 PM
@Sterno I like the comment that points out that this means the ISS now has a replicator
@badp Do you ever create your own .desktop files?
 
@Sterno The most surprising thing is that this hasn't already happened.
3D printers are really cool and all, but I can't help but reading this as "This just in: 3D printer prints a thing in 3D!"
 
Next up: Tea, Earl Grey, Hot
 
@Wipqozn @Frank @AshleyNunn Two more Mistborn books announced.
Sanderson is too ambitious.
 
@Sterno The best approximation of that this 3D printer would be capable of is a bunch of molten ABS. I doubt that would taste any good
 
He said that he has 2 more series to write (not counting Stormlight) before he can do the last trilogy of Mistborn (which will be the 4th trilogy in that series).
And that he has to finish Stormlight before he can write his book/series on Hoid.
Stormlight being 10 books.
 
7:20 PM
@StrixVaria Typical Sanderson, has some problems starting to write the book and then just writes a sequel first to warm up and hands in two books at once
 
He also said he plans to release a Stormlight book every 2 years, with the next being in 2016.
 
I loaned a coworker the first Mistborn book a while ago. He said he didn't like it, but he was letting his wife read it. Then, months later, he told me he bought the whole thing and loved it.
I'm like "Oh so you're done with my copy?"
He lost it
 
@OrigamiRobot Classic loaning a book to someone.
 
So now I have an incomplete set.
Never again, Don, never again.
 
@OrigamiRobot Did you tell him you'd take the one from the set he bought as a replacement?
 
7:22 PM
I actually have 2 copies of The Name of the Wind because I loaned my copy to someone and just bought a new one for my wife to read since I figured I was never getting that back, and then the guy actually gave it back.
 
@SaintWacko No because he folds the cover back when he reads. I don't want that shit.
 
@OrigamiRobot Ew
What a terrible person
 
eBooks ftw
 
@MadScientist I accidentally an entire book.
 
@StrixVaria nice
 
7:25 PM
I should have known better after I lent him my DS and he lost it (along with my flash cart)
 
@OrigamiRobot Holy shit
 
I made him give me money for that one though
 
That's something that he should have reimbursed you for
Oh, good
 
Turns out it was in his car the whole time
Not even, like, under a seat or something
 
I'm curious how the other Mistborn trilogies will turn out. I waited pretty long before buying Alloy of Law as the book didn't sound that interesting to me. It was much better than I expected, though.
 
7:25 PM
in his glove box
 
Wow
So did you give him his money back for it?
 
@MadScientist I still haven't read Alloy of Law.
I'm going to bump that up on my to-read list, though.
 
I feel like you should only have given him some of the money back
 
@SaintWacko Hell no
 
Take some as a fee for the time you didn't have it
@OrigamiRobot Ha, nice!
 
7:26 PM
This was months after he paid me
 
@OrigamiRobot This guy is the worst
 
I had already bought a 3DS
 
@StrixVaria I think I read everything from Sanderson except some YA stuff (Alcatraz, I think?) and some short stories
 
@MadScientist I still plan to read everything; I'm just approaching it slowly because I don't want to run out.
 
7:27 PM
@TimStone In his defense (kinda) on the DS, he thought it had been stolen at the time.
 
I want to always be able to fall back on Sanderson if I can't find anything else engaging.
 
That's the expression a person makes when they are wondering why they're even your friend.
 
So when I lent him Mistborn, I didn't know he was just bad at borrowing things.
@Sterno Only works with iPhone
 
@OrigamiRobot Naturally
 
Probably why the guy is sad.
"I could have gotten away with this if only my friend had an Android"
 
7:30 PM
"Oh, you're going to take a picture of me holding it up? I... I don't want to borrow My Little Pony Season 1 from you anymore, man."
8
 
@SaintWacko He was like "Do you want it back?" "No, you bought it from me."
 
@Sterno I feel like I need to respond to this, but I'm not really sure how to
 
@murgatroid99 I'll be here all week if you think of something.
If it makes you feel better, you can s/My Little Pony/Hercules: The Legendary Journeys
 
@murgatroid99 Encourage @Sterno's friend to not be ashamed of the things he enjoys.
 
Sometimes you should feel shame for things you enjoy. Like, for instance, anyone who enjoyed Smallville.
I'm not saying you're wrong for enjoying it. I'm just saying you should definitely be ashamed.
Oh, look, all Clark's friends got knocked out, he saved the day, they woke up, and then he claimed the bad guy just fell down and got hit his head. Again.
 
7:42 PM
@Sterno i would figure lex luthor would be smarter than that

Q: Who is the mind behind 'vault boy' drawing style?

LIUFAEvery gamer knows fallout and most likely has seen 'vault boy' drawing style Example would be. I tried looking on the net who was inventor of this. Fallout one artists Leonard Boyarsky, Jason D. Anderson and Gary Platner when googled for images do not bring out any vault boy like results. W...

 
Oh no, a question we can argue about whether or not it should be on-topic!

Q: Who are the voice actors for the player characters and followers?

Nick TIMDb lists some of the voice actors and their parts—including the very recognizable Wizard Princess Azula and Malcolm Reed the Templar—but only has the Wizards, and female Demon Hunter and Witch Doctor actors. Who did the voice acting for each of the 10 player characters and 3 followers? Bonus ...

 
I forgot how to respond to my own posts!
Joke ruined!
 
So is there a difference between "Who voiced this?" and "Who drew this?"
creating drama since 2011
 
@Sterno I was joking, I was going to argue with myself over it
 
@SaintWacko Damn it. Where's @Frank. He'll argue with me
 
@Sterno YOUR FACE IS OFF TOPIC
That's my position.
For future reference
 
7:55 PM
@Unionhawk I agree
Voting for @Sterno to CLOSE HIS FACE
6
 
@Sterno Would you like to hear my take on it?
 
@OrigamiRobot How could I refuse?
 
@Sterno Good, now I can take satisfaction in refusing to oblige.
 
@OrigamiRobot I didn't want to hear it. I just didn't feel I could refuse.
 
Good, now I can take satisfaction in not having wasted your time.
 
8:04 PM
Never mind, I recovered my Squeenix account.
Apparently, I put the wrong number for my birthday.
 
@Sterno i bet that user worked their fingers to the bone to bring us these fine answers

Q: How to grapple swing without face planting?

DavidYellI am trying to reach an unknown area on my map and it appears to be a long challenging path which involves using the grapple to swing between ledges.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how do i use dots?
 
8:18 PM
Dot DLC
Each dot booster DLC gives you 25 of them
 
@MattGiltaji remove the line from the dot
like this |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
shit, I did it wrong
 
@Chippies ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
now what?
 
@MattGiltaji when you remove the line, throw it out and leave the dot
idk how to do that tho
 
@Chippies *******************************************************
 
@MattGiltaji that seems like you took the line, crumpled it up in a ball and left it there
 
8:21 PM
@MattGiltaji Those are splats
 
@Chippies no I have the lines over here \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Q: Far Cry 4 Texture Flashing

Roshan ShawHey I am getting an texture problem in playing Far Cry 4 PC Image Link Intel pentium E5700 3ghz dual core Amd Radeon 6570 2gb ddr3 2gb ram The game is running smoothly execpt these lines...no such lagging!! Used extreme injector to run far cry 4 on dual core cpu

 
@MattGiltaji Great! Now you bent the line! I think it's beyond repair now...
you did find 2 dots however
 
8:24 PM
@Chippies yeah i found some more, looks like they got compressed or something, gotta install 7zip to undo it ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::‌​::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
 
@Sterno I'm not. Voted to close.

@Chippies What game is this?
 
@RedRiderX not sure, seems like one of those mainstream shooty games I don't play
 
@Chippies Yeah I got about the same impression.
 
8:36 PM
@RedRiderX Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes
one of those mostly console exclusive games I don't play
 
Oh right that just came out on PC
 
Yeah, I've vaguely heard about it
 
So....in Unity, if you stand around long enough in the Assassin headquarters one of the council members just sits there picking his nose and ripping farts while reading a book. Good thing there were absolutely no other issues to address before adding that gem in.
 
Wtf
 
Yes. I was idling a moment and was like "Wait, did he...really? -_-"
 
8:47 PM
@TimStone to be fair, I am pretty sure they don't address bugs before things are done being added.
 
AGILE
 
@Chippies I don't care that he spent a lot of money. It's his money, he can do whatever he wants with it. BUT WHO THE F--K NEEDS FIFTEEN BATHROOMS??!!
 
he is sitting on millions, plus with the purchase of mojang he gained a bit more
@Yuuki some who eats a lot of chipotle
 
@Yuuki What if you have a party with a lot of guests?
 
8:51 PM
@Yuuki You could theoretically go a solid year without needing to clean any of them.
 
@Yuuki Imagine all the parties he can throw in that place and no one will ever have to wait in line for bathroom
 
gross
 
Also, ew.
 
@Chippies I can't imagine too many people in Hollywood going to Notch's parties.
 
@Yuuki when you gotta go, you gotta go
 
8:52 PM
I also can't imagine Notch throwing a lot of parties.
 
plus now that he will be spending all of his time in incrementals, he's only going to use a few rooms in that house
 
indeed
 
Maybe he's going to convert all those bathrooms to hold more PCs to play more incrementals.
 
From what I've read about Notch, he doesn't care about being super rich, so I guess he's just trying out the "rich life" for a while
 
One PC per incremental.
 
8:53 PM
you could probably heat the house just by running autoclickers on all those PCs
 
@Chippies I've never met the guy, but I do think his online persona is different than who he is.
that's just me being skeptic
 
@Rapitor I don't know much about him, nor do I really follow his life, but I've just read that Notch never wanted minecraft to be as successful as it is and he's not good at having so much fame and money
and I can totally understand that
if I got the fame and money he has, I'd have no idea what to do with it
 
@Chippies yeah, he said that in his reasoning for selling mojang to MS.
 
@Chippies perhaps you need a lifehack for that
 
@MattGiltaji "I recently got a couple of million dollars and now I am super famous. WHAT DO?!"
 
8:57 PM
if i had that kind of money I'd pretty much just have a couple dream cars, a modest house (idc about mansions), and donate the rest
 
@Rapitor I'm sure you'd still have to deal with all the fame though
 
@Chippies "fuck you all, leave me alone"
done.
