@Rapitor "FAMOUS MILLIONAIRE @Rapitor VERBALLY ABUSED A PAPARAZZI! YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!"
 
The Finger is given
 
@Chippies And the next article "17 Lifehacks for bothering famous people"
 
@Chippies i see the hit counter going up at tmz already
 
more so for people prying into SOny
 
@Virusboy what?
 
9:03 PM
i thought they would leave sony alone after they caved and shelved the movie
 
nonsense
 
hahaha they are stilling dipping into the stuff hackers exposed
 
if you can't trust international hacker rings who leak sensitive data all over the place, WHO CAN YOU TRUST?!

Q: Minecraft Crash due to unknown Error

VirusboySo im playing on my Multi-player Minecraft Server that is Hermit ModSauce enabled for 1.7.1. All mods are enabled. I am playing on Ubuntu with JDK 7. My problem stems when I enter roughly 4000 blocks northeast of spawn. Entering a Plains Biome(Biomes O'Plenty) I notice a lot of + shaped block...

 
9:05 PM
hey look its ME!
 
@Lazers is self aware
 
@Batophobia have you played Hack'n'Slash yet? is it good?
 
which one
 
@Chippies its fun
zelda + programming
 
@MattGiltaji I guess that's all I needed. Buying!
 
9:06 PM
also @Virusboy, we get a lot of minecraft questions, like a LOT. you might want to see this guide for asking them. it will help us help you
 
@Rapitor We get inundated with minecraft crash questions, so a lot of us are super trigger happy when we see them.
 
Speaking of Steam, people said Valkyria Chronicles is good, right?
 
@murgatroid99 Very.
 
@Frank good enough for me
 
@Rapitor are you poking at the fact this has been answered?
because i did do those
 
9:11 PM
@Virusboy Unless I'm misreading something, I don't see a crash log in your question

Q: Do sky island surface mushroom biomes work? (TERRARIA MOBILE)

EchodusI've started making a mushroom biome on a sky island (Building on it, etc.) so the Truffle can move in. The mushrooms started growing and there is large mushrooms (not the trees.) Background and music haven't changed. It's over 100 mushroom grass blocks.

 
@Virusboy I'm not poking fun at anything. It's just as @Frank said. we get so many minecraft questions that most of Arqade is trigger happy with close/downvotes unless they follow that guide
 
hmm good thing i write good questions
@murgatroid99 the indent code is the snippet
 
@Virusboy OK. That just looked like a chat log to me, so I wasn't sure
 
9:14 PM
@murgatroid99 i might have copied too much sorry
 
@Virusboy You misunderstand me. The guide that Rapitor linked describes how to access the crash dump. You said in your question that Minecraft crashed, which would presumably make a crash dump useful. The snippet you posted didn't really look like a crash dump, which is why I asked about it.
 
@Rapitor If I had all that money, I'd live in a good 1 bed, 1 bath apartment, drive a good all-electric car, and play games for the rest of my life.
 
@murgatroid99 this is from AT Launcher Console
 
@Yuuki Warren Buffett still lives in the house he bought in the late 50s.
 
@JasonBerkan yeah you should buy, not rent
pay cash and just worry about the property tax
 
9:24 PM
@Yuuki good all electric doesn't quite exist yet. Teslas are pretty dang close, though
 
@Rapitor elon musk is kinda bond villainy though
 
@MattGiltaji how so?
 
@murgatroid99 he extracted huge govt subsidies out of nevada in order to build a plant there. The subsidies were part of a competition between multiple states, but it ended up going to nevada. The kicker is that he had already broken ground on the nevada location before the competition even started
 
@MattGiltaji huh
 
9:28 PM
finding links, one sec
 
@Chippies To help explain, there should be 70000 knights for each queen.
 
@Chippies Not yet. I'll have to wait another 2 hours to play after I get off work
 
I wonder if there would be less crime if all weapons had to be attached to your internal organs in a way that to attack someone you'd have to die too
 
There would be fewer repeat offenders.
 
user58869
9:31 PM
@Chippies only a certain type of crime
 
user58869
but most definitely, yes
 
@Chippies As long as that is somehow made a physical requirement of operating every weapon ever
Which is obviously far past impossible
> Perhaps to whet Nevada’s appetite, Tesla even sent in bulldozers to move some dirt around at the site near Reno.
That has a different implication from what you were saying
And the WSJ article is behind a paywall
 
@murgatroid99 that's weird, it didn't ask me and I don't have a wsj account
apparently if you get to the article from a google search there is no paywall at wsj
weird
try googling "nevada gets musked wsj" it is the first link
 
9:49 PM
@Rapitor I followed a Model S to the store earlier
@MattGiltaji On the other side of things, Tesla has been getting thoroughly screwed by pretty much every other state
There's been some really shady stuff being pulled in order to now allow Tesla to compete with other car manufacturers
not*
Very different meaning

Q: New sheep riding an existing sheep

kittycat3141This is similar to another question I posted, but in reverse. Can I spawn a sheep (or any other entity) to ride another, existing entity, like a player or another sheep?

 
@MattGiltaji as far as I know he's a really kool guy. at least in terms of tech progress.
heading SpaceX and Tesla, which are both making leaps and bounds in their fields
also doing a lot of donating and working with the oatmeal for the tesla musuem
 
@Rapitor his tech innovations are great, as are his leadership abilities, its more of some of the business practices I disagree with... but then again, I'm just a naive programmer and sheltered from the darker side of how these business deals are done
 
I wouldn't think on it too much till you make a contract with big busniess
 
10:06 PM
(late reply yes now SHUT UP)
 
@Unionhawk Silly OnionHawk, it's 2014 now!
 
@Powerlord Yes, and it's also not summer sale
I didn't like the 2014 summer sale version
 
@Unionhawk The Australians would disagree.
 
I know in years past, the winter sales banner would have an upside down Summer logo on them
 
10:08 PM
Considering this video was posted in July of 2013...
I survived all of summer sale 2014 since I wasn't at a place where I had ready access to steam ever
 
@Unionhawk When the video was posted has nothing to do with when it is now.
 
Yes it does
 
Anyway, I'm not sure why, but some schools around here panicked today.
I mean, yes, roads were slightly slick this morning.
 
Why? My school is out, my brother's school is out as of today
 
...but why did 2 of the 18 or so school districts in this area decide to completely close?
@Unionhawk Well, they were supposed to be open today, being the last day before winter break.
 
10:11 PM
@Powerlord Because reasons. Iunno.
 
Also, tomorrow is the busiest shopping day of the year... and I need to pick up some stuff tonight because of it.
Well, or put it off until Monday

Q: What happens if you get negative defense?

Vanguard66According to the RealmEye wiki, the Seal of Blasphemous Prayer (commonly referred to as the "Oreo") gives -4 defense. I tested to see if this was possible using Pfiffel's dps calculator. It turns out you can have negative defense. So if you had -4 defense, would a 30 damage projectile deal 34 dam...

 
Oh wow. Apparently I have 236 hours of playtime for the original BoI and 96 hours for the new one
And, completely unrelated, apparently I'm getting a Google Cloud hoodie
 
@murgatroid99 I'll take it if you don't want it.

Q: Find location when flying a lander in KSP

CirdecHow can you find a location when flying a lander in KSP? I have a contract to collect soil samples from specific zones on Minmus. The locations are shown with pink sample bags in the orbit map, but aren't marked in staging view. I can activate navigation to the location. This adds the pink sampl...

Q: Can I download a demo that is not in the list anymore?

SlurpeeI forgot to download a demo of a match on de_cache that I did really well in, now I've played enough matches that it's not in the "Your Matches" tab anymore: As you can see, there's not an arrow to view matches before either. Is there a way to get that demo or is that match lost in the abyss?

 
@Yuuki no, no, I want it
 
Tangent: Wow, Squeenix is terribad.
 
10:38 PM
I'm excited because this is the first "swag" item I'm getting that's specifically related to my team
 
@murgatroid99 Ooo~
 
@murgatroid99 but I thought all of google's stuff was cloud? how are you on the google cloud team?
nvm, new product name, facepalm
 
@MattGiltaji It's the Google Cloud Cloud.
 
Google Cloud isn't that new
 
@murgatroid99 anything i haven't heard before is new to me
i invoke ben kenobi
 
10:42 PM
Wikipedia says that it was released in preview in 2008
 
ooh, this is where the google app engine is
 
@MattGiltaji yes, along with a few other products
 
i wish i knew about this before setting my stuff up on s3
 
@MattGiltaji I think they support migration from s3. And if not, somebody's probably working on that

Q: Snowballs exploding like tnt?

VolumeIsLowSo I've been playing minecraft on a server and i was using snowballs for fun and then im not sure what happend if it's a command or something but this happend i really need help to fix this.

 
10:49 PM
Though, it shouldn't really be too hard to switch your deployment from s3 to Google Cloud Platform
 
yeah i'm thinking more about my various scripts and stuff that push to s3
i'm sure i could find them on github if i wasnt so lazy
:D
 
@MattGiltaji If you're thinking about switching, you're going to want to use the gcloud command line tool
 
i was thinking more python module, but sure
 
Or that. Most of my actual interaction with GCP is that tool and bash scripts

Q: How do I block XInput / DirectInput in games?

user400424In some games, the ability to remap the controller is non-existent and the default mapping is mismatched with my controller. I want to know how to prevent those games (commonly running DirectX) from detecting that I have a controller connected while I use Xpadder to do the remapping myself?

 
11:21 PM
So I guess Reddit is making its own money now.

Q: Can I have two spectral assasins at once?

OreoI got the power to summon a spectral assassin from the dark brotherhood quest-line, but can I use my spectral assassin once, wait 24 hours, then do it again and have 2 spectral assassins? Also, can I have a spectral assassin as well as my current (human) follower. I have read the elder scroll...

 
sets @MadMAxJr on fire
 
Sweet! Free fire!
 
And I now realize I have done it incorrectly, and it's "sets fire to @user"

Q: Reusing/Recycling Hard Disk space on PS3

ha9u63arI was thinking about buying a Playstation 3 for myself, but got confused with the HD spaces. I read some questions on Gaming SE and they suggest that using something as big as 500 is more than sufficient. However, it is possible to upgrade the HD as it's just a fancy PC with Sony software and a 2...

Q: The sound isn't playing sometimes in the game

KtashIt seems that only about half the time a new clip or gameplay segment starts, the sound isn't playing. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

 
Just watched Galaxy Quest for the first time since I was a kid. That movie is so good.
 
Hrump, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance isn't sold in my region.
I wonder why that would be the case
 
What about Metal Gear: Ground Zeroes? That's also on Steam.
 
@MadMAxJr Strangely enough those games are available
Is it a licensing issue?
 
Perhaps your region has a thing against cyborg ninjas?
 
11:41 PM
But whhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyy
 
@PrivatePansy perhaps a small percentage of the population of your country are cyborg ninjas and they feel discriminated against in the game
that sentence is very poorly worded, but I am not editing it
 
The game does unrealistically portray cats as the omnipotent pinnacle of all acts related to agility and are 100% immune to ninja attacks as they can backflip and evade any and all attempts at being assaulted.
 
@MadMAxJr Nooooooo you just make me want the game more
 
@MadMAxJr what do you mean unrealistically? Are you implying cats are not the ultimate beings?
where do you think are?! In real life or something? THIS IS INTERNET, YOU BLASPHEMER!!
 
It's right in the first area on the beach and amused people in the demo. There's just a little black cat walking around who will backflip and evade the same sword slash that slices a bridge support in half behind said kitty.
 
11:45 PM
@MadMAxJr I'm sure the bridge tried it's hardest to backflip out of the way, but it's just too fat
 
@Unionhawk *hands over ceremonial dagger* You know what to do with this
 
Clearly the cat has called upon the power of Schrodinger by existing and not existing at the same time, negating the possibility of understanding if the cat has been struck.
It's a fun game that totally breaks the standard Metal Gear gameflow and not in a bad way.
I mean there's a boss that requires you to run up a stream of missiles to stab a helicopter
 
@MadMAxJr Whaa
 
@MadMAxJr to be fair, it's not a core MGS game, it's a spin-off
 
You also fight a Metal Gear Ray on foot.
And cut it to ribbons.
 
11:47 PM
3 mins ago, by Private Pansy
@MadMAxJr Nooooooo you just make me want the game more
 
My computer hates me
 
Stop making me want things I cannot have!
 
And some of those ones from MGS4, the semi-sentient ones that make cow noises.
 
@PrivatePansy why don't you buy it from something like GMG?
 
user58869
 
11:48 PM
Does Steam still let you evade trade barriers by having someone gift it to you from a region where it is available?
 
@Chippies GMG doesn't seem to have it
 
@MadMAxJr some games are region locked, but I am pretty sure that north american versions work in all regions
@PrivatePansy hm, odd, maybe they only stock new'ish and/or relevant games
I recall it being on GMG at launch and for a while after
 
@MadMAxJr I think so, but they recently banned trading from Russia specifically because of the crashing exchange rate
 
unless I'm wrong, which is completely normal, as I've been told by @Unionhawk
 
11:50 PM
Oh, Russian. Yeah that's a hard one.
 
Does it show up for you? I SMELL A CONSPIRACY
 
really? you don't have it there? :O
direct link
 
On the other hand, I envy you for likely being able to enjoy Metro 2033 / Last Light in native language.
 
Well, I have an idea about how the Fascinating hat is earned. Take that, @TimStone, I didn't need your help after all!
 
> Unfortunately this product is not yet available in your region
 
11:51 PM
@PrivatePansy that's lame
I guess it's region locked after all
 
Yeah, region lock and licensing
 
@Chippies no, normal for me
 
I have heard of people using proxies to activate their russian keys and it works
 
I can do the proxy thing, but if it's so hard for me to throw my money at them I might as well pirate the damn thing
 
so I'd imagine it's possible to do the reverse
@PrivatePansy yeah, I'd go with that as well
if the only way I can throw money at something is risking losing your steam account (Idk if anyone ever has lost it, but it's still against the ToS), then you may as well pirate it
 
@Unionhawk is still posting, which means he didn't commit seppuku like he was supposed to.
 
On the other hand, FFXIV is only 10 bucks? I might actually try it.
(I am actually playing FFXI right now)

@PrivatePansy I think it can still traded to Russia, just not from Russia
 
@Brant I've been told games directly bought from Square Enix store has extra DRMs and the whole experience is just plain horrible
 
11:56 PM
Ugh, I have no idea what's going on with my computer
 
@Arperum might not be possible in this case though since the game is not available in his region
 
@SaintWacko Can't be much worse than what was happening to my previous work computer.
 
@MBraedley Meh, it's basically the same amount of shame that I normally have so
 
@Chippies True.
