Q: GTA 5 save file deleted?

BuckySo don't ask why but I got GTA 5 on my Xbox One first and then later on my 360. I had advanced pretty far on the story on my One so I bought it on the 360 but when I started up it was the prologue. That was fine. But today when I started it up on my Xbox One it started at the Prologue! I don't kn...

Q: How can i repair a damaged Minecraft World 1.8.8

Q: How to record World of Warcraft online gameplay and replay it?

Anurag DawareI am new to WoW game and would like to know, Is there any facility like DOTA2 and League of Legends to record gameplay and replay again in game without using any 3rd party tools?

 
@PrivatePansy Sex Criminals does not sound like a promising comic title
 
@Sterno you would be wrong.
 
Oh, hey, now I can get the back issues of Outcast that the comic store guy keeps saying he ordered for me but which he never remembers every single time I ask
 
(The basic premise is this couple are able to stop time when they have sex, a power which they use to commit lots of regular old fashioned crimes like robbery.)
/CC @GnomeSlice
 
Or I could just order the TPB
@LessPop_MoreFizz Thanks for that, because I wasn't willing to Google "Sex Criminals" while at work
 
1:08 PM
> Suzie's a normal girl with an extraordinary ability: when she has sex, she stops time. One night she meets Jon... who has the same gift. And so they do what any other sex-having, time-stopping, couple would do: they rob banks
Here's the blurb from #1
The first issue was free on Comixology for a while. Might still be.
 
Issue #200: Susie and Jon go to the doctor for a Viagra prescription
 
@Sterno understandable. But you should click that YouTube link while at work.
 
I can't remember the last Nic Cage movie that came out. I mean, I know he's still making stuff, but it seems like it's neither good nor so bad it's good anymore
The last one I saw was Stolen, because it was on HBO, and I regretted it afterwards.
Before that, I guess Kick-Ass
 
@Sterno he's been in like... Four movies per year for the last decade.
Dude works.
 
I can definitely respect that.
TIL Jack Bauer has 309 on-screen kills in the 9 days and 2 hours the show covers.
> Day 1 and Day 9 are the only days where Jack does not kill someone by breaking their neck.
Thank you, Internet, for these statistics
I don't know how that show got 9 seasons.
I don't know how that show got 2 seasons.
I feel so lonely.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Clever
 
@Arperum I wish it did inernet coop
Maybe I should fork it
 
1:50 PM
@fredley I like how space is used for both players.
 
@Arperum yeah
 
Internet co-op would lose most of the collaboration
Unless you used like Skype I guess
 
@GnomeSlice Wait, you are supposed to cooperate? You should fight for space.
 
2:07 PM
@Wipqozn Note that said candidate changed his legal name to Augustus Sol Invictus
@Sterno The funniest thing about 24 is the people who think the seasons take place back to back to back
 
I didn't know people thought that in great enough numbers to make it funny. I watched Season 1 and part of Season 2 and thought they made it pretty clear time had passed. Of course, if you're not paying attention except during torture scenes, I guess it's easy to miss
I remember waiting until Season 1 was over so I could watch it all at once. That was the most disappointing season of television I've ever binge watched

Q: How can you improve in Heroes of the Storm

rStyskelI, along with several friends, have been playing Heroes of the Storm since beta. For a long time, we were winning many games. Recently however, that has not been the case. We've been making dumb errors and getting stomped. What process can we use to improve our skills and playstyle?

 
@PrivatePansy I'm fairly sure it's so dismal because it's @badp
 
2:27 PM
@KevinvanderVelden As badp approaches 1, dismalness approaches infinity
 
@badp is a dismal non-circle
 
TIL I learned the ridiculous term "ammosexual"
IT IS A DAY OF LEARNING
 
@Sterno Someone who gets turned on by munitions?
 
Michael Bay?
 
Or someone who gets turned on by Massively Online Multiplayer games?
 
2:32 PM
@JasonBerkan that's "boomsexual"
 
@PrivatePansy Close! A derogatory term for gun owners, with the implication being their masculinity is defined and/or enhanced by gun ownership. I'm unclear how the term applies to female gun owners.
 
@Sterno triggered?
 
I identify as a singer missile launcher.
 
Huh. Probably a play on the term metrosexual, which itself is pretty ridiculous
@MadMAxJr They told me I could be anything. So I chose to be an Apache attack helicopter.
 
@MadMAxJr you're fired.
 
2:37 PM
@Rapitor *slow clap*
 
Boom
 
sexual
 
Anyone else watching the Microsoft Pimp?
This guy
 
The Win10 thing?
 
Yep
 
2:47 PM
So the store lost my laptop. Sent it to them for repair, and they managed to just lose it.
fml
 
In exchange, make their workshop become lost.
 
Did you not yet run out of bad luck?
 
Maybe drop them in the astral plane.
 
Seriously, I'm fairly sure the rest of england is gonna have the economic boon of the millennium, they're just making all the bad stuff happen to @fredley
 
Karma austerity
 
2:50 PM
Makes about as much sense as regular austerity =p
 
Maybe there's a lifehack to solve this.
 
Anyway, I hope you made backups @fredley? :(
 
@KevinvanderVelden Yeah, I'm fine
 
@fredley then instead of a repaired laptop you get a fully new one! Yeah
 
2:51 PM
@Sterno That's a small helipad
@KevinvanderVelden True. Although I'm going to get a refund, no way I want another laptop from these people
 
@fredley yeah of course
 
"The reason I do this job... I want to save lives and protect the wide open sea."
 
Heck, you might even get the refund faster than you would have gotten the repaired laptop =p
 
@KevinvanderVelden The stupid thing is, I rang them up 2 weeks after I sent it in, and they said it was still 'awaiting diagnosis', they failed to even realise it was lost
 
2:54 PM
Fail
 
Maybe they mean it's metaphorically lost, like... without you writing Rebecca Black scripts on it while it's in for repair, it feels it has no purpose.
 
@KevinvanderVelden my avatar is perfect
you wish your avatar was anywhere as perfect as mine
 
@badp maybe I'm confusing the dismalnes of you with the dismalnes of your avatar, seems likely
Is dismalnes a word? I say it is
 
I am the king of dictionary and thoroughly disagree
 
Well I can't make a acronym out of it so I guess I'll have to let it stand
 
2:59 PM
Your inability to reduce it to a 9LA acronym is duly noted
 
A dozen, a gross and a score
Plus nine times the square root of four
Divided by seven
Plus five times eleven
Is nine squared and not a bit more
 
Plagiarize!

Plagiarize,
Let no one else's work evade your eyes,
Remember why the good Lord made your eyes,
So don't shade your eyes,
But plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize -
Only be sure always to call it, please, "research".
(according to the song Lobachevsky by Tom Lehrer. Don't plagiarize. It's a joke.)
Mine is better =p

Q: If I buy Civilization 5: Brave New World, will I be able to play Vanilla?

WulfiniteIf I buy Civilization 5: Brave New World, will I be able to play vanilla Civilization 5.

 
@Lazers2.0 Yes, but why would you?
I can see wanting to play G&K without BNW, but not vanilla.
 
BNW isn't stand alone is it? It's just DLC?
 
3:11 PM
@KevinvanderVelden ur consistent across refreshes
 
@JasonBerkan For one specific achievement. G&K changed hitpoints to a 100hp range, that makes the achievement "kill someone at 1hp as a japanese unit way less likely.
 
@fredley I like this
 
@Arperum They didn't modify the achievement to 10HP?
 
I thought they did.
 
@JasonBerkan Not sure, the achievement text still says 1 hp.
 
3:14 PM
I don't actually know - I'm pretty sure I got that achievement in vanilla.
 
I don't have it yet, so could try at some point.
brb, stuff fell upstairs or so.
just sounded like that, it's actually something making a lot of noise at the other side of the street.
 
I'd blame a cat
 
Though the 100HP change is why I wouldn't go back to vanilla.
 
File a bug report, items should fall DOWN stairs, not up stairs.
 
Cats are involved man, don't expect gravity to work around cats
 
3:23 PM
@KevinvanderVelden If by cat you mean the bobcat/crane like thing CAT, yup, you'd be right.
Pixel looked very confused when I suddenly showed up to see what happened. (he's sleeping in the room above me)
 
Error: Catlike programming detected.
 
@KevinvanderVelden catandtoasthyperdrive.gif
 
@Arperum -1 for making me first think you were referring to @Kalina, -1 more for it being male
 
Error: Give me back my keyboard. You are a cat. It doesn't even fit.
 
@twobugs Solution: place box next to keyboard
You can even get a hoverbox specially made for this situation:
 
3:29 PM
@Sterno Hey,1) I didn't know it was a male when I got him (it was seriously unclear, it absolutely looked like a female cat). And 2) I got +1'd by @kalina at some point about that catname. So that totally balanced out your -2.
 
@fredley Now this is a Lifehack. @fredley for Lifehacks.se mod!
 
@Arperum -1 more for being bad at math
 
@fredley My cat just lies back behind my laptop
Because it's very warm back there
 
The cat should be half in the box and half on the keyboard.
 
@Sterno has studied math at university, so that's to be expected
 
3:30 PM
@Sterno Apparently a @kalina 1 is worth more than your 1
 
@fredley Please go ask on LH how you can keep your cat from sitting on your keyboard
 
@Arperum -1 being bad at sexing
 
@SaintWacko -1 for being mean to your elders
 
@MadMAxJr The cat should be in the box the hover box came in
 
@Sterno Cover everything in deadly spikes.
 
3:31 PM
Alright, @Sternold
 
@SaintWacko well I thought everybody knew this
@Sterno yay \o/ I am best pixel
 
I am so looking forward to never touching this computer ever again
even if it means giving up on this admittedly nice keyboard

@fredley How did your cat learn to spell potato?
 
@fredley All questions should be limericks. New rule.
 
3:36 PM
@fredley Thanks. Now I'll vote to migrate it to Pets.SE
 
All questions should be haiku.
 
@RonanForman I'd vote for this
 
Wait, no. I'd only vote to migrate if I wanted a non-hacky solution
 
I'm considering making a Lifehacks.SE account just to downvote @fredley.
 
@RonanForman It's a excerpt from Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats
 
3:37 PM
@fredley never let your cat in your house again
 
@John You should make an account on every site @fredley is on and downvote him once on every site. I'm pretty sure serial downvoting detection scripts don't check for that.
 
Or Andrew Lloyd Webber's hit musical Cats, whichever is to your taste
 
@MadMAxJr Why not both?
There was an old man
From Peru, whose lim’ricks all
Look’d like haiku. He

Said with a laugh “I
Cut them in half, the pay is
Much better for two.”
 
@Sterno But then I would have to actually earn some reputation on Lifehacks. Not worth it.
 
Doesn't the association bonus get you high enough to downvote?
 
3:38 PM
@Sterno Nah you're about 20 short
 
No. You need 125.
 
There was an old man from Peru,
whose limericks stopped on line two.
 
Bonus gets you 101, you need 125 to downvote
 
Super Downvote - spend all of your rep to place that many downvotes on a question.
 
That's a shame.
 
3:39 PM
last I checked
 
@MadMAxJr I would -20k @Wipqozn so hard
 
There once was a man from Iran,
Who's limericks would never scan,
When asked why this was
He said it was because,
He always trys to fit as many words into the last line as he possibly can.
 
@MadMAxJr I would make so many socks for hundreds of downvotes
 
If only we could directly spend rep to lower other users' rep
 
@RonanForman Was that an attempt to rhyme Iran with one?
 
3:40 PM
@fredley I didn't press shift when starting a new line.
 
While playing the game I call Minecraft,
And exploring a large, deep mineshaft,
The game it did crash,
When it reached the splash,
Please read through this log as I'm quite daft.

Rob, an odd fellow, designs
Poems of equal-length lines
And he limericks with flair
As his forethought and care
Ensure a word count of 3 9s
 
@fredley You're pretty good at these
 
@twobugs I'm sure he's definitely coming up with them.
 
@RonanForman Well if I ask for a link for what tool he is using I'm just going to be linked to Friday...
 
3:44 PM
There was a young man of St Bees,
Who was stung on the arm by a wasp,
When asked "does it hurt?"
He replied, "Yes it does,
but I'm sure glad it wasn't a hornet.
 
Yesterday I was stung on the earlobe by a bee. I looked pretty awesome for a few hours.
 
@Sterno That's not a limerick
 
@MBraedley @fredley you cheater.
 
urmom's not a limerick
 
3:47 PM
@Sterno I sure hope not
 
My limerick was original!
 
XKCD forums still use that phpbb layout? Huh.
But also: STARBAIT RETRACTED
No... NOOOO
It's too late...
 
I once knew a gal named "Urmom"
Mother of a Medley named Tom
When asked out on a date
With little debate
We agreed that it would be the bomb
 
I wanted to do that to @Wipqozn but I couldn't make it rhyme
 
There once was a monochrome rocket
Who played a modded game - don't knock it
The modpacks were trash
that continued to crash,
So he wrote up a poem to mock it

@fredley Ha!
