6:01 PM
Ok, guys, I reinstalled Minecraft, but the error still persists.
 
what error?
 
Yeah, this is your first message in at least 2 days, a little context?
 
The same "Windows cannot find <Minecraft path>".
No @KevinvanderVelden , my last message was yesterday.
 
No messages by anyone named john yesterday according to my search of the transcript
 
Did I forgot? :)
Nice temporal memory I have...

Q: Minecraft startup bug - "Cannot open the launcher's location"

JohnSo, today I wanted to start Minecraft again, after about a month of inactivity. Suddenly, a pop-up said that it cannot open the target's location. I checked the Target and the Start-up Locations. They were all right. Interestingly, after pressing the "Open File Location" button it sent me to the ...

To jog everyone's memory

Q: LOTR Minecraft - What are the coordinates for Shrek's house?

MaxI've been looking for this house for hours and I cant find it. Does anyone know the coordinates?

 
Ah so no messages here
 
@KevinvanderVelden None for UTC.
But some for Tuesday, 9PM
 
47 hours ago then
 
Okay, so I got an error that says "Windows cannot find <Minecraft path>" after I haven't played it for about a month.
Okay, so now let's get serious.
I tried running the executable, but it says the same thing.
Could it be the AVG Program Deactivator that I've now removed?
 
6:17 PM
Its probably your shortcut to <minecraft path> that is wrong
 
double screen setup is amazing.
 
Nope, I checked it over and over. By the way, I said I opened the executable, not the shortcut. @James
 
@John Have you tried Mojang Support yet?
Surprisingly enough they get asked about minecraft all the time.
 
@arda nice
triplescreen is at least 100% better though =p
 
@KevinvanderVelden only if I had 2 hdmi outputs
or 1 vga or even displayport mini
 
6:30 PM
I also found a Registry file that contained the string "FaultrepElevatedDataCollection".
I'm not allowed to delete it.
 
3 is nice too :)
 
@John Are you randomly deleting things in the registry?
Do NOT do that
 
I don't.
 
@KevinvanderVelden also seen, btw: Turkish people swearing at each other
 
I searched for the Minecraft 1.7.10 Registry file and I stumbled across it.
 
6:32 PM
@James What's that game?
 
Ark
 
By the way, its key is something like "{C........}".
 
@KevinvanderVelden Four screens is even better. :P
 
One million Screens is better. @Frank
 
@John Except you can't get that on a computer.
I actually have four screens.
 
6:34 PM
@Frank that is I think a point where you get diminishing returns but yes
 
I know, I was sarcastic.
 
@SaintWacko I think it's the dinosaur survival game.
ARK: Survival Evolved.
 
@Wipqozn wheres the toilet done?
 
@KevinvanderVelden It's like real estate; you don't know what to do with it at first, but you fill it up over time.
 
yay! mindwipe tonic.. now I need to do all that crappy hopping around between Scorched Earth and TheIsland to get my needed engrams back... meh
@Yuuki Yeah, Is said Ark :)
 
6:36 PM
So, what shall I do with a Registry file that contains the string (FaultrepElevatedDataCollection) that has a coded key, that doesn't let me delete it?
 
Better picture? :)
 
if it can't be removed, then there is a reason for that
 
@Frank true, but the jump from 1 -> 2 is a thousand times better, and 2 -> 3 is at least twice that good
 
@John Why are you even trying to delete it?
 
@arda ... Because it's a virus.
 
6:37 PM
@KevinvanderVelden Not arguing with that.
 
Sep 18 at 15:11, by arda
why doesn't people nuke their hard drive, change all passwords entered on that pc and enable 2fa after getting hacked once?
 
Viruses do have this thing; Windows files don't.
 
ERm
Are you deleting things in the registry?
Still: DO NOT do that
 
No. @KevinvanderVelden
I was just searching.
 
At this point in time I have no idea what @John is doing...
 
6:39 PM
Then how do you know it won't let you delete it?

Q: Does fighting type pokemon with water moves have advantage on normal type pokemon?

Joel ÄngI play pokemon go and want a pokemon that have advantage on snorlax and I can evolve to a poliwrath. And poliwrath is a water/fighting type but have most water moves. Does the water moves have advantage on normal type pokemon or is it just the types water is effective on? If it doesn't, do you h...

 
It's not like there's an undo button...
 
You can export the key, then back it up.
That's what I did before trying to delete it.
 
That does not restore the same thing
So again: DO NOT
 
@KevinvanderVelden How not?
 
6:41 PM
And given how long you've been ignoring this, probably time to reinstall your pc so windows is stable
 
Are you just trying to get minecraft running @John?? Cause if so I again suggesting going to Mojang Support.
 
Ok...
 
@Frank it just exports key/type/value, there's all kinds of permission things
 
@KevinvanderVelden There is that, yes. Generally, if you're an admin, though, it makes no difference.
 
You generally run regedit in admin mode so there are no permission issues... It just seems John is not doing that.
 
6:42 PM
Good thing my Computer is not connected to the Internet...
 
@John ... ლ(ಠ_ಠლ)
 
@Frank yes there is, he's exporting them, deleting them, and re-importing them. Aka throwing away all the permissions and special things
@John dude: DO NOT MESS WITH THE REGISTRY
 
@KevinvanderVelden As an admin, permissions mean nothing, really. What else is in the special things?
I really don't see the problem with exporting keys and re-importing.
 
As an admin sure, but what about the program that tries to use the registry?
 
Depends on if you're exporting the folder, or just specific keys.
 
6:44 PM
I am an admin.
I am the only user of my PC.
 
If the folder itself contains the permissions, you're going to be okay, unless there's a key in there with special perks, for some odd reason.
 
You'll be importing it with different permissions which can cause problems
 
why don't just just nuke the drive already?
Sep 18 at 15:21, by arda
By nuking the drive, I basically mean "boot on a live cd, move all important stuff to an external drive, reinstall windows, run virus scan on external drive, copy if files are clean"
 
Better use the Hydrogen Bomb. :)))
Oh, I see now.
 
So what do I hope @John has learned: If you get a virus, do the thing @arda said
 
6:46 PM
It's too compicated. @arda
 
Do not mess with the registry, do not pass go, do not collect $200
 
.. and this isnt?
 
Instead get on Go and get 400$. 😃
 
@John better than having viruses
 
I'll see what I can do.
See you tommorow, at about this time.
 
6:57 PM
Hmm... I should get groceries and stuff
 
Oh wow
I do this so often

Q: Darksiders 2 freezing

ZarathustraxI'm having a real bad time with Darksiders 2, almost at the beginning of the game, after the fight with the ice boss, there's a room when you have to enter. And is freezing there a lot, exact same place. Any ideas? 4 times freezing in the same place, the disc is fine and I erased the update just ...

 
@Sterno im lolling
@SaintWacko pretty sure theres a way to tell grub what to boot next time
 
7:14 PM
@djsmiley2k I haven't found a good way to do it
 
cept i cant remember how :/
 
And I've looked
 
Cool. @SaintWacko

The edit queue is interesting. Not very busy, though.
 
8:01 PM
The whole Webtoon is epic btw
 
8:15 PM
@arda That the comments show that people haven't seen this gif before kinda astounds me.
 
@djsmiley2k there is
But that doesn't help with windows
 
ahhhhhhhhh

Q: How do quest phases work with other players in an open world enviroment?

VahxSomething i have been wondering since i started the game is how exactly do the different phases work in game and how do they affect my contact with other players? Example: a village that is under attack will have enemies and wounded civilians in the area, until i heroically complete the quest an...

Q: How is it calculated how many trophies are won at end of match?

CeleritasHow is it calculated how many trophies an attacker wins (or looses) at the end of the match? I ask because I'm wondering does it ever make sense to "end battle" early, or is it better to let all deployed troops to destroy as much as possible to increase the trophies count? For example I've seen ...

Q: Recharge time for heroes

CeleritasIf an attack is about to end (for any reason except going to loose) and your hero has sustained a small amount of damage, is it worth it to use their special ability to heal them? I am not sure exactly how the time a hero takes to recover from a battle is calculated, but it seems the more damage ...

Q: What is the size of an MC mob head?

a_guyI need to know the size of a mob head in MC so I can model a mask for my modelpack. Thanks a lot if you answer.

How long does it take a first post by a new user on an old question to hit a review queue?
 
user15026
10:36 PM
Not sure.
 
@Unionhawk How dare you not link to the extended version!
 
Have any of you seen this undertale album? underveil.unisphere.tv It's not all great but it has some really good covers in it.
 
so... not all that great but really good
you are making me wish for numerical review scores @Ronan
 
Well sometimes there are multiple tracks on an album
 
Some of the tracks are really good, but there are a lot of meh ones.
 
10:49 PM
PEDANTRY!!! FAIL!!!
 
@twobugs being able to acknowledge your own failures is important. Glad to see you're on the good path
 
Although I did listen to it all in one go, so that would explain why it got samey.
 
@badp Okay Donald Trump
 
because I was genuinely bedazzled and not trying to make a point or something
 
@badp 11/10
 
10:53 PM
@Unionhawk Is that your score for that album?
 
@Ronan remember that @Unionhawk is using the WeRateDogs scale, which is like the regular scale but everything gets 5 points extra
so his score is 6/10 in regular terms
6/10 Adequate
 
I'd say that's fair on average. But the first couple are much better.
 
This particular beer I'm drinking (as in the particular can) is a 5/10 though since I think it was a low fill
That somehow made it through the anti-low-fill device
 
Are we just rating things?
 
How do you rate those ratings?
 
10:57 PM
I'm rating my boardgames evening 8/10.
 
I don't think we're clearing the 5/10 Meh bar with those ratings
 
Mainly because I hadn't seen the people in a while.
 
@badp it's an average of 5/5 and 0/5 for goodness minus not quite great
 
I'm going to release an @badp tier list one of these days
 
Not sure what that means
 
11:06 PM
I'm not either but I was hoping to start an argument about the "an @" symbol part
 
Well it didn't work
 
Correct
 
5/7 Inadequate
 
11:31 PM
The Clinton between two ferns is not nearly as good as obama's
Some good lines though
 
@GodEmperorDune but would you give it a 7/10 Okay
 
won a match in Overwatch and game crashed on the Victory screen :( I hope I got the exp...
 
I believe so
 
@badp 5/7 inadequaten't
 
@GodEmperorDune surely that's 7/5 Inadequaten't
 
11:36 PM
@badp Shirley, that is correct
 
user15026
(I can't say I'm not a little tempted)
 
@Ash Radical!
 
@Ash you'll do great as long as it is better than @badp's truck driving
 
my truck driving is adequate. my truck parking is epic.
1/0 Epic
 
11:39 PM
Your truck crashing is adequate
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune I don't know if I will do it or not but I can't say I'm not at least a little tempted
 
@GodEmperorDune thank you
@Ash what do you have to lose?
 
@Ash I'm sure you'll choo-choo-choose wisely
 
I mean I guess there's the part where that train is probably coal powered
 
Cc @Wipqozn @fredley on that @ash training pun
 
11:40 PM
but you aren't ACTUALLY going to be shoving coal into furnaces for 40 years so that's probably fine

Q: NotEnoughItems not showing any items

spacegeek224I was playing the modpack The 1.7.10 Pack through the Technic launcher, and everything was fine, until I pressed some keys and now NEI won't show any items. What might I have done to do this, and how do I fix it? Here is a screenshot

 
@Lazers2.0 clearly the number of items is inadequate
 
user15026
@badp Nothing, if it's free, but it's not in my city so I can't remember if it is somewhere the buses doing the country runs go to or not
 
user15026
(Even if the later stuff is pay to do, it's still kinda cool and tempting)
 
@Ash but if you're driving the train, can't you park it outside your house at night?
@Ash you'll be on track for success
 
11:46 PM
 
You can't stop this train of thought @badp
 
@badp wait when did this happen
 
@Unionhawk well is @GodEmperorDune on the list of this room's owners?
 
Oh I see
 
Are we making this a joke again?
 
11:48 PM
@Frank yes
 
@Unionhawk by reviewing the audit message, it happened friday
 
@Frank It's not a real
Spoiler alert
 
And everyone wonders why I don't take room ownership seriously.
 
@Frank that's your problem. :)
 
@badp Yours, too, if you expect people to respect it.
 
11:49 PM
Please notice the "list of this room's owners" link
 
@Unionhawk Yes, I know it's fake.
 
It seems @Frank has a problem with how @badp is conducting himself
 
Well then why are you worried about this
 
It's still a shitty joke, if you want people to actually take ownership seriously.
 
@Frank I do not expect you to like it. I expect room owners to own room
 
user15026
11:50 PM
@GodEmperorDune Oh yeah that would totally work
 
Perhaps a switch is needed
 
what you like or don't like is not relevant.
 
@badp Okay, then don't be surprised when room ownership is afforded zero respect, as per usual.
 
user15026
...but he didn't do anything to room ownership?
 
@Frank that's okay, room ownership doesn't require your respect to work.
 
11:51 PM
@GodEmperorDune wasn't an owner to begin with, and wasn't added as a joke
Room ownership never changed
So why is this a problem.
 
user15026
I have no idea.
 
@Unionhawk Because it's, as usual, treating it as a joke.
Which we said we were going to stop, no?

Q: borderlands 2 badaboom drop chance?

Darius9008Hey so i am trying to get Badaboom and i already know that you have to kill King Mong over and over. But i was wondering what is the drop chance and also do you have to be in true vault hunter mode to get it? I am just in normal mode and i can not seem to get it i have killed King Mong probably...

 
I feel that my puns are being lost in all this drama
 
But ownership never changed?
 
user15026
11:52 PM
@Frank Well, we were going to stop adding/removing as a joke, and that has stopped.
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune And those are some really excellent train puns, I'm loving it
 
and it's slowly going to pick back up, as I had promised.
slooooooooooooowly.
 
@Ash :D full speed ahead then
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune Excellent
 
user15026
@badp What is?
 
11:53 PM
but I'm glad that we've sorted this out now.
 
@Ash From the context, @badp adding/removing owners on a whim, mostly in reaction to puns.
 
user15026
@Yuuki Ah, okay, that makes sense
 
We have so many mods in this room anyways, I don't consider it a major thing.
 
user15026
I mean I don't think it's a super good idea necessarily, but I follow the thread now
 
So, why is it that in order to approve an edit, it takes multiple people to vote approve, but improving an edit automatically applies the edit in question?
 
11:56 PM
Yes
 
user15026
@Ellesedil Because the system trusts you more than them?
 
user15026
At least, I assume that's how it works
 
@Ellesedil do you have 2k reputation?
 
It's 2k I thought
 
It's annoying to get deownered because I made a pear pun, but that just means I pester someone next month or whenever I post something to do with Movie Night.
 
11:57 PM
@Ash Yes, I get why it automatically applies the edit. What I'm really asking is why does it take multiple people who can freely edit to approve someone else's edit.
 
@Ellesedil your improvement is treated as if you just edited it normally
 
@Ellesedil Because it takes less work to approve an edit
 
I can side-step that whole thing by "improving" the edit with something inconsequential.
 
@Ellesedil do you have 2k reputation?
 
@badp Yes.
 
11:58 PM
@Ellesedil yes, you do. so you are trusted with being able to make as tiny an edit as you want on any post whatsoever.
by improving an edit you are exercising that trust.
 
@Ellesedil Because if you've bothered to click the improve button you're already invested enough not to be approving crap
 
So it's a "don't abuse this" scenario, then.
 
every button is "don't abuse this"
 
BACK IN THE DAY
 
Well, sure.
 
11:59 PM
There was only a single approval required, but that went south pretty quick
 
Man, I seem to have run out of steam on these train puns
 
so yeah please do not betray the trust :)
 
"suspend user (dont abuse this)"
 
@TimStone I didn't know that.
 
@GodEmperorDune it's end of the track for you
 
11:59 PM
Approve is "I think this is okay", improve is "I know this is okay because I wrote it".
 
It's easy to just click "approve", so you need two people to make sure due diligence is afforded. But improving takes enough work that you can assume that one person doing it is enough
