@BenBrocka Welp. I can't become a panda again with just money.
 
Spoiler alert: Pretty sure they're going fuck it up.
 
@Yawus Same writer from the games.
 
Hope springs eternal.
 
@GraceNote I'll be disapointed if the True Ending doesn't involve her (?) becoming a panda again
@Yawus same writer, looks like the same sort of animation as the recent games (assuming the teaser is representative). I don't see the pitfalls of common Uwe Boll style trainwrecks
 
7:07 PM
@BenBrocka Sorry if I sound like too much of a downer, but I tend to be a bit of a pessimist. Hopefully, I'll be proven wrong.
 
user15026
@BenBrocka whatever you are playing sounds fascinating
 
@AshleyNunn It really does
 
user15026
@SaintWacko But I am also assuming it is on a system I do not have
 
@AshleyNunn PS3
 
user15026
@GraceNote Ah, yeah, that was what I figured. :)
 
7:11 PM
Awesome games you never heard of before are almost always PS3 exclusives.
 
user15026
@FEichinger Yep. Which means no games for me
 
@AshleyNunn Don't I have you on PS3?
 
user15026
@Ullallulloo Entirely possible. My ex has the PS3, though
 
user15026
I got the PS2 and the wii because I used them the most
 
user15026
When I am making real money again, I will likely pick up a ps3

@FEichinger Unless you have a PS3. Then, they're on the Wii U.
 
@AshleyNunn I own a PS3, and it has seen very limited use. could be my choice in games, though.
 
@FEichinger They're often Japanese-made (hence no 360) with little US/English marketing budget. The PSN does a decent jobo f getting the word out if you already have a PS3 though
 
user15026
@BenBrocka Which is where the draw is for me. Because those games sound amazing to me

Q: How do "Lost Places" work?

Ben BrockaMy Scouts have found weird non-dungeon "places" on some of the maps. I'm told these are called "Lost Places". I have found several in my travels but still have no idea what they do or how exactly you get them. What do they do? Just give me items when found? How do I find them? Just scouting any...

 
7:20 PM
hey, since when is lazers grumpy cat? that sounds like the sort of thing I would do if I was feeling mod-abusive.
 
All mod abuse stems from @bad behavior
 
Haha, that's awesome. I hadn't noticed that
 
user15026
@SaintWacko It changed since yesterday. Yesterday it had a Kerbal in it i think
 
@agent86 What an ugly cat.
 
7:31 PM
I feel bad for all those cats bred to have squished noses.
 
They are ugly and have horrible sinus problems.
 
I'm fairly certain we knew this all along, but @kalina seems to have a disturbing fixation on immolation.
 
I hate you.
 
sets fire to @Yawus
LEAVE NO EVIDENCE!
 
7:34 PM
@Blem WUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT.
 
@Blem I noticed that he didn't do a lot of jumping.
 
Yea, doubt it can handle real jumping
 
I did not see, but each fire icon has a link to the transcript
 
7:37 PM
It's probablyj ust a button on the controller that handles jumping
 
way to go @YiJiang'sEvilClone
 
Yeah, I've seen demos on the Oculus but I didn't see anything about it being paired with an omni-directional treadmill.
 
@Yawus Pretty sure it's a different company doing the treadmill
 
looks somewhat self made in the skyrim video
 
I thought so, but I'm pretty sure we're going to see those two pairing up in the future.
 
7:41 PM
Probably just a prototype
They're not in production from what I can tell
Oh My God Why Do People On Youtube Comment In Title Case For No Reason
(Typing that was physically painful)
 
YouTube Commenters Considered Harmful.
 
@Yawus Basically.
 
Is it "YouTube" or "Youtube"?
 
they could've been using uppercase in about_youtube at least
 
7:44 PM
@badp In the URL?
 
I'll let someone else run for the explain-troll-bait-thing here ...
 
Mixing case in URLs (except as an identifier string) is of the devil
 
www.FagAssTraps.com <-- bad upper casing
site called "Fagas Straps"
 
Unfortunate company names always make me laugh.
 
7:48 PM
www.TheRapist.com
 
Host is case insensitive anyway.
 
www.AnalBumCovers.com
Although I'm not exactly sure that one exists.
Probably, since it's from a famous SNL skit.
 
www.ExpertSexChange.com
 
analbumcover.com exists, however.
 
www.PenisLand.com
 
7:51 PM
 
@Blem analrapist.com
@Blem penisland.com is intentional though
 
@Blem EE is now #2?
 
I think nr 5 is the worst
 
@Blem How old is this list? Pretty sure it's been experts-exchange.com for several years now
 
I think they still have expersexchange.com it just redirects to the hyphen
 
7:54 PM
I'm off to bed, nn people
 
G'nite
 
Have nice dreams.
Or, at the very least, have not-bad dreams.
 
...what time zone is Blem in again?
 
For all I know, he could be in CST and sleeps early because he works the graveyard shift.
 
@Yawus The worst part about graveyard shifts is having to carry around all those stakes.

Q: What causes exhaustion?

KecoeyWhen dodging titans' attacks, sometimes it says that the player is "exhausted". You seem to still dodge the attack if timed appropriately, and an "exhausted break" can also occur. What causes exhaustion exactly and what can be done to prevent it? Also, what does it do?

Q: Do I keep pre-installed games when transferring from one 3DS to another?

PhazyckI have a Nintendo 3DS with lots of games and stuff on, and recently bought the Limited Edition 3DS XL which has Fire Emblem: Awakening pre-installed. If I transfer all my stuff from the 3DS to the 3DS XL, will the Fire Emblem game still be there? The manual didn't seem 100% clear as to what hap...

@yijiang got the package. Omg. Amazing.
 
@AshleyNunn What package?
Did it contain 999?!

Q: Just curious, can two players play on one computers with two monitors, keyboards and mice?

lcccan two persons play on one computer with separate monitors, keyboards and mice? I'm curious to know.

 
user15026
@powerlord nope. A kickass MLP poster.
 
@AshleyNunn But... how are you going to complete 999? Borrow it from @Fluttershy?
 
user15026
@powerlord maybe. I am still hoping I randomly discover it.
 
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment lolwut
 
Just how many unique questions could you ask about recreational/professional diving?
 
8:12 PM
@FEichinger It's a fun.
 
I'm fairly certain there are only so many times you can ask "How do I dive from X meters up?"
 
@Yawus Most would probably fall under travel.SE's scope, if you were to push it.
@Ullallulloo NO, ITSA SPORT! DEFINATELY!
 
@FEichinger DEFIANTLY!
 
@Yawus DEFENITELY!
 
DEFENESTRATION... LY?

I've always wondered if you could use Defenestrating Sphere to fly.
Cast it on yourself while holding a pane of glass in front of your face.
 
You'd fly once. Maybe twice.
 
@FEichinger ~I believe I can fly~
 
~I believe I can touch the sky~
 
8:17 PM
@GamingTopicsFromOutside Multi-seats computer, nice :P
 
Anyone can fly. Once.

@badp Remind me, do rockets in TF2 make a visible explosion when they hit something?
 
Rockets make a visible explosion when they hit anything, I think.
 
@Yawus That's what I thought.
I just hope it generates an env_explosion as I'm trying to make arrows have the same exploding effect.
I have a script written that I'll run on my test server to find out

Q: How do actions taken affect turn order?

Ben BrockaIn Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2, turn order changed as you performed more actions on a turn; Victory seems to have a similar mechanic but not quite the same. Turn order doesn't shift until your turn is order (making it hard to tell what causes it to shift and how much), and taking some actions (it...

Q: Can you check your progress before moving to next stage?

MandemonI seem to be unable to find out myself, but is there a way to check your progress after achieving the milestone to reach the next stage? For example, if during cell phase I get enough to move to land, but I want to check if I am following the correct diet.

 
8:40 PM
So, Bridge... Who is bored and has time to kill?
 
raises hand
 
@Fluttershy I guess I do...
 
I am missing one room. One out of 1890.
Here's a full map for comparison. =D
 
@Fluttershy That one.
No, seriously.
I found it.
 
gah, they aren't to the same scale.
 
8:49 PM
@Ullallulloo No. =\ Sorry.
 
WHERE IS PAINT ON WINDOWS 8??
 
I found it too.
 
Anyways, its the one room that's both red and green on the guide map.
 
Well, one of the ones.
Yeah.
Stupid inability to find MS Paint on Windows 8.
 
8:50 PM
THANK YOU
 
I need to learn .exe names so I can just Windows+R everything.
Screw Start Menus and Metro screens and whatnot.
 
@Yawus mspaint
 
@Ullallulloo Thanks.
@Ullallulloo +1 for freehand circle, -1 for purple. So, +/- 0 in total.
 
@Yawus :(
What's wrong with purple?
 
They're supposed to be red, I think.
 
8:53 PM
It's both contrasting and royal.
But there's other red stuff.

Q: Is there a joke about "Freehand Circles" that I'm oblivious to?

Jacxel Possible Duplicate: The Many Memes of Meta Someone commented one of my answers (on Arquade ) saying they down voted because of the lack of "freehand circles" is this a joke? Could someone explain it, I don't think they actually did down vote the answer (or if they did someone up-voted ...

 
@Yawus Yeah, they normally are, but I don't think they have to be exclusively so.

Q: Does difficulty of locks and computers scale with your level in DLC?

SandokanI've read that although there is a recomended level range för DLC, you can to some extent enter whenever you like. I personally have done them at roughly ten levels higher than what the wikia says. My next walkthrough I was thinking of gentering at a lower level, but that also means my Lockpick ...

 
@GrumpyLazers is being late.
 
There, now I just need to test this script to see if I've managed to replicate the Huntsman Hell game mode in less than a day
Ah crap, forgot I need translation phrase files.
 
@alexanderpas It's grumpy.
Can you blame it?
I can't!
 
@badp I can, but I won't.
 
Maybe it's grumpy because it's late
 
9:26 PM
@SaintWacko Your face is late.
 
@badp For what?
 
@badp That's not what your mother said last night?
 
@SaintWacko The Grumping of the Lazers
@Yawus No, she was asleep.
 
Okay, that's good. She should be getting her rest.
 
Yep.
 
9:29 PM
Going home time!
 
@Powerlord Another half hour for me
 
Ugh. I hate latches.
 
i'm gonna hunt some G. Jaggi.
 
Latches, like in electronic?
 
@M'vy Yeah.
 
9:36 PM
Yeah
 
Finally got my third Barioth Tail!
 
I teach that to Computer Science students :P
And I use this in minecraft too :P
 
I might need some help with them. I can understand pretty much everything else in this course.
Latches are annoying.
 
When preparing the lesson, I found : allaboutcircuits.com
 
9:39 PM
I think I have a handle on them right now, but our instructors haven't been terribly elucidating on what each part of the truth table means.
 
Chapter IV, lesson 3 and 10 for things about latches
 
Ah, so that's where I've been messing up. I had this weird thought in my head about Q' affecting Q when I should hold Q as independent in the truth tables.
Bleurgh, everything makes so much more sense now.
 
@Yawus What are you doing?

Q: Looking for a way to conveniently view Vanilla Minecraft questions

musicwithoutpaperAs a player of Vanilla Minecraft, many of the Minecraft questions here would interest me. I usually navigate to that tag every time I visit this site. One unfortunate navigation obsticle I have found was that I keep seeing questions for minecraft-feed-the-beast. I could put that as an ignored ...

 
S-R latches.
 
9:45 PM
What about them?
 
I sucked at understanding them.
Now, much better.
Thanks to @M'vy.
 
@Yawus Oh, well cut it out.
 
@Yawus you welcome
 
Are you going to be doing finite state machines? Those are fun.
@Yawus Oh, was this your first experience with a truth table?
 
@OrigamiRobot No, I just had a stupid thought in my head with how Q and Q' worked.
Should've just thought about it as a normal 3-input truth table.
 
9:48 PM
Good, starting with latches would be awful.
@Yawus Yea, I don't understand why they bother writing Q' on there.
S-R Latches are pretty easy. S makes Q=1, R makes Q=0, DONT MAKE S AND R 1s OR YOU'LL DIE.
 
nasal demons are fun
 
JK Flip-Flops are the same except both inputs on makes the output toggle.
 
@badp Safe to say, I'm not really quite sure how to respond to that.
 
simply google that, the jargon should come up
 
I never blindly Google something that someone else tells me to Google. It's a really good policy.
 
9:55 PM
Why are you learning about latches?
 
Blind Googling leads to goatse. Goatse leads to mental scarring. Mental scarring leads to anger. Anger leads to the Dark Side.
 
@Yawus you're left wondering what nasal demons are
 
@OrigamiRobot It's just finals review.
 
@Yawus I mean is it for your major or just an elective or what?
 
what if the final exam asks you what nasal demons are in SR latches?
 
9:56 PM
@OrigamiRobot Ah, for my major.
@badp I'll have to say that I cannot safely answer this question due to my religious beliefs.
 
@Yawus I'm an electrical engineer. I'd be glad to help with anything I can remember.
@badp The proper term is gremlins.
 
Alternately, if they ask for the definition in my own words, I could always answer "Wattoom zink pubbawup gazork chumble spuzz."
 
Unless it's magnetic circuits. Fuck those.
 
nasal demons: n.

    Recognized shorthand on the Usenet group comp.std.c for any unexpected behavior of a C compiler on encountering an undefined construct. During a discussion on that group in early 1992, a regular remarked “When the compiler encounters [a given undefined construct] it is legal for it to make demons fly out of your nose” (the implication is that the compiler may choose any arbitrarily bizarre way to interpret the code without violating the ANSI C standard). Someone else followed up with a reference to “nasal demons”, which quickly became established. The original post is

Q: How can I get my Wii online?

Ashley NunnI currently have an internet setup in my apartment that requires me to load a sign in page in my browser before I can access the internet. Problem is, I don't know how I can do this on the Wii, as it just gives me an error on the connection before I can even get to a browser. The error happens ...

 
@AshleyNunn Your home network requires you login through the browser? :(
 
user15026
@StrixVaria Yeah- I share wireless with the house upstairs
 
user15026
and for some reason it requires connection through the browser

It's better.

11:03 PM
@MBraedley oh wow that is depressing
 
@AshleyNunn yes, yes it is
 
Conflicting national laws make any service to do with money or music a major pain to do internationally
 
@MBraedley ¯_(⠌/)_/¯
 
@BenBrocka iTunes seems to be doing well. Canada had the highest per-capita growth in digital music sales for something like 5+ years after the iTunes store expanded north. Clearly, offering digital goods to Canadians is a good investment.
 
@AshleyNunn Doesn't depress me too much.
 
11:07 PM
@Ullallulloo Picasso emoticon?
 
@StrixVaria The shrug emoticon from Google was too happy.
 
@MBraedley The problem isn't that "dem furriniers don't buy them thar digitals", it's dealing with multiple nations' laws at once in a business space where a single nation's laws are already a massive pain point to deal with
 
His face is sideways now though.
 
@BenBrocka But Canadian laws aren't all that different from American laws. In fact, they're stronger in some aspects when it come to IP laws. And generally, when it comes to digital services for Canadians, it isn't legal issues, it's licensing issues, which given the ripe market in Canada, should have no problems being overcome, but people are stupid or are underestimating the return for a given investment.
 
user15026
@Ullallulloo Shush you
 
11:18 PM
@AshleyNunn ¯_(ツ)_/¯
 
The cantada list can be divided into three groups: licensing issues, telecommunications industry issues, and financial industry issues. Service providers can solve the first problem, if they would just convince license holders that they'll get a decent return. The other two groups of issues can be resolved by partnering with a tel-comm or bank.
 
This would all be solved if y'all would just join the US and become states 52 through 61.
 
Dammit, just received reply for my turbo tax install. Now I have to do my taxes.
@Ullallulloo Which state is 51?
 
@MBraedley Puerto Rico
 
@Ullallulloo Has that been finalized yet? We're much to important to come after Puerto Rico
 
11:25 PM
@Ullallulloo "You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile."
 
Confusion: There is an Arqade Community (ARQADE) on Steam as well as a Gaming.SE (G.SE) community.
 
@MBraedley They haven't been officially inducted, but they voted for it in November and the government said that they would act on it beforehand.
Last week the White House set aside $2.5 million to take another final ballot or something.
While some Puerto Rican official is submitting a bill to get statehood now.
 
@Yawus The G.SE is old and defunct. Use only at your own risk.
 
@Yawus The G.SE is locked now.
No one can join it.

@Ullallulloo I cannot continue with this conversation without stating the obvious truth so hard that I get banned
please stop trying to entrap me with your delusions

@FEichinger sorry but apparently my next ban is a 24 hour ban, and he's not worth that

Any Canadians donate to Child's Play in the past couple of years? Can I count that as a Canadian charitable contribution?
