@fredley I didn't even see that. I figured he was talking about the speck missing from the panels.
 
@fbueckert Yeah, I thought that too, but wondering why the foil is ripped. Maybe the panels burst out of it?
 
@fredley It's the hole in the panel, mid-left of the photo
Not sure why the foil is ripped
 
@BenBrocka hole
 
that might just be normal, the hole isn't
 
Damn, too many technical terms swimming in my brain.
 
7:03 PM
@BenBrocka How big of a deal would that be? It looks really small.
 
Bullet hole - a small stone from the universe went through our solar array. Glad it missed the hull. http://t.co/iBHFVfp1p8
 
Pretty sure the foil is ripped because it's just there to protect the panels from stuffs during transport.
 
I like that he clarifies that the rock was indeed from the universe
 
@BenBrocka You never know!
 
@Ullallulloo I think it's more of a thing where we're glad it didn't hit something else. Not sure how much it'd actually affect the panels
 
7:05 PM
@BenBrocka Ah, okay.
 
The "ouch" confused me, I guess.
 
Doesn't it automatically avoid these things?
 
@BenBrocka Depending on how they're built, it'll either do very little or disable that whole panel
@fbueckert Sigh... If people are going to get self-righteous about piracy, they really need to know what they're talking about

@SaintWacko yeah, I was wondering how they're "networked" together
 
7:11 PM
@SaintWacko But that takes away from building up their anger!
 
@RonanForman big space junk probably, looks like this was just a tiny space rock, not sure they can do much about that
 
@BenBrocka If the radar can detect it soon enough, it could be avoided, I expect. But the smaller and faster it is, the less chance they can do so.
I wonder how accurate and sensitive it is.
There's gotta be a threshold on it, too, as it can't be automated to avoid any rockets attempting to dock.
Although, that would be amusing to watch.
 
@kalina I don't think the downvotes are personal (towards you!) My question about Game Dev Tycoon got downvoted too!
 
@NightExcessive stop depriving me of my special snowflake moment
 
@kalina Sharing is caring?
 
7:18 PM
that's not true, there are a lot of things humans can share with each other that clearly demonstrate a lack of caring...
 
@kalina A speshul snowflake that's obsessed with fire ... That's a first.
 
sets fire to @FEichinger
 
@kalina :(
 
wooo
 
7:23 PM
@NightExcessive moves items out of alphabetical order
 
@Coronus goes insane
 
wooo
 
@NightExcessive Hmmm, I'm quite sure H came after I, and V is before Z.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Hah! Fixed.

Q: How do I set up a Cow Grinder in Minecraft?

NathanTempelmanSo I'm playing on a server that lets you purchase cow spawners for a whole lot of money. I wanted to make a sort of cow collecter, like a half of a mob grinder just so I can hit them with a sword without having to move. My setup looks like this: http://imgur.com/hjuRTiK The obsidian is to dete...

Q: How do I beat Level 57 in Magnetized?

RetrosaurThis flash game is a really frustrating, but fun game I'm playing, but I can't get past level 57. Are there any tips and tricks to get past this level? Which mag points should I use, and which shouldn't I use?

 
7:42 PM
We'll get all SORTS of quality contributions from this user!
 
@fbueckert I've got bieber, bieber fever
 
@fbueckert Don't judge a book by its cover. We have already gotten all sorts of quality contributions from this user!
 
he's probably pretty close to an answer ban
 
@FEichinger I know! We're lucky to be graced by such a celebrity!
 
@BenBrocka This site doesn't have answer bans enabled
 
7:47 PM
@BenBrocka Is that even enabled on Arqade?
 
Answer bans aren't "enabled", all SE sites have answer bans, unlike the question bans
 
Hm?
 
Grid view of all sites
Kind of purdy, I suppose, but it works funny
 
That's been there for ... ages.
 
7:54 PM
I wonder what the size of each site represents
Oh, the list of recent changes implied it's new
 
I think they just restructured the grid view to be in line with the footer categories.

A: What are the criteria used to represent Stack Exchange sites on the sites page?

EmmettThe sites are ordered by creation date, but then shifted around a bit (by the jQuery Isotope plugin) so they all fit tightly in the container despite being different sizes. The site sizes are subject to change, but hard-coded for now, and loosely based on a combination of factors, including site...

 
At any rate, I'm pretty sure the grid view has existed for a bunch of months already.
 
@FEichinger yeah, they did
they really need to merge "business" and "professional"
 
Business seems to be more about the finanical/management/legal side, rather than the employee's - which Professional seems to be.
Doesn't mean I disagree, though. No need to spread that.
I love how "Information Science" doesn't get filed under Science because reasons.
 
8:04 PM
@FEichinger doesn't it fall under the social sciences?
 
@Krazer I get where it's coming from, but it's just weirdly spread.. Especially since Linguistics is on Science, Languages are on Culture, and Libraries/Information are suddenly on "professional" ...
 
I hate Dead Week. I never know if I actually have classes or not.
We're not supposed to have classes so we can study, but some of the professors think they're the exception to the rule. And I can never tell which.

Q: Is there a stock viewer for stocks?

user47747Any sort of third party apllication that would provide more options for viewing the current stock, preferably with a search bar.

A: What can I do about piracy?

carlosYou should delete this pirate copy and buy the original game

 
Let's face it. It's a "looks like easy rep!" question.
 
8:14 PM
@NightExcessive I read the article related to that and I had to lol at "Is there some way to avoid that? I mean can I research DRM or something …"
There's moral myopia and then there's just plain hypocrisy.
 
@FEichinger I flagged it for protection. Considering adding a tactless "FFS this is a game mechanic not the message you get when you pirate the game" into the body of the question
 
@BenBrocka I'm not sure what protection does, but I'll be sad if I can't answer it in a little bit. I'm currently trying to research the answer within the game.
 
Also it seems really douchey of the devs to make piracy a real mechanic but also use it as a pirate-shaming tactic. It's going to be impossible for anyone to look for how to deal with piracy the game mechanic without finding the pirate-shaming crap instead
@NightExcessive Protection means if you have less than 10 rep earned on the site you can't answer
 
@BenBrocka Oh. Fair enough.
 
it's only useful to prevent brand new users who don't understand the site/want to spam from answering
 
8:18 PM
@BenBrocka It'd help if people stopped thinking they were clever just for reading something on the internet. :P

Which of course won't happen. shuts the internet down
 
@TimStone If that ever happened, the Internet would crash due to lack of power from the endless circle-jerk of self-righteousness.
Funnily enough, I'm being slightly self-righteous by saying that. Yay, hypocrisy!
 
Would anyone be able and willing to assist me with a community ad for the TeamSpeak server that I set up? I'm really bad at designing ads. I'd certainly appreciate the help.

@Fluttershy timber and stone is in serious need of optimization

Q: I messed up a child's skills; can I reskill him without loading a previous savegame?

NolonarAccording to Serenes Forest, children inherit the one skill from each parent that is equipped by the parent and is listed in the last position of their skill list. The child inherits those skills the moment one begins the chapter in which he/she is recruited. I had paired up Donny with Lissa and...

 
> This is a Q&A style question.
Wat?
 
@fbueckert Is there any other kind?
 
@SaintWacko I'm wondering why that was included in the question.
 
@fbueckert I'm wondering if they've asked another question that was closed and/or deleted for being more of a forum post type thing
 
8:54 PM
@SaintWacko I wondered the same thing. Didn't find one.
 
@SaintWacko Question and explosions
BUY TORGUE
3
 
restarting, back in a minute
 
Why can't I protect that question?
It's 10k rep to protect.
I guess it needs to be a certain age?
 
15k i think
 
@Blem I have 28k so I'm good to go rep-wise.
 
9:07 PM
@StrixVaria I got 11k so it makes a difference for me ;)
 
@StrixVaria I think this. I can't protect it, but I can protect another question that's 2 days old.
 
9:29 PM
Wait... @Fluttershy, is this copy of Timber and Stone an old one?
 
@NightExcessive I love the amount of people who assumed I pirated it -.-
 
@kalina You are a filthy filthy pirate, though, aren't ya?
 
@FEichinger yarr a pirate I be
 
A pirate with a fire obsession ... Burning your own ship, eh?
 
no I burn the people on the ships I loot
 
9:34 PM
@FEichinger I read fluffy fluffy pirate.
3
 
@OrigamiRobot Well, I'm not sure if you could call a demon "fluffy" ... Oh, well.
 
I am not demonic
I am angelic
 
@FEichinger I am sure cotton candy people are quite fluffy.
 
@OrigamiRobot Hmmm .. That's a good point.
@kalina Hush. Liar.
 
@FEichinger :(
 
9:36 PM
@kalina Pfffffffff
 
@kalina :)
 
hey I'm about to get a bronze badge
 
@kalina To be fair, it got a lot of publicity for imitating piracy to pirates, without mentioning that it exists in a lesser capacity for legal users.
 
user15026
@ktash omg I can't believe you tossing me aside so! And I was sleeping because my back is all screwed up and painful! My word! heartbreak
 
@Ullallulloo Which makes it utterly impossible to find information on the subject without getting 1 million hits on the news story >.>
 
9:49 PM
I got downvoted 6 times today
 
I just found out that the Gangnam Style video has 1.57 billion views on Youtube
 
probably by the same person, based on timings
 
I wonder how many of those are unique people.
 
@kalina I'm not that butthurt. :P
 
9:52 PM
two of them are on the piracy question, I wonder if they're both because the person didn't read
and I wonder if all of the others are because that same person thinks I pirated the game, based on their inability to read
 
@kalina Eh. It's not worth worrying about.
Just chalk it up to idiocy.
 
@kalina It's probably someone who got mad at you for telling them to friggin read.
 
I'm not worrying, I'm wondering
 
And, since it's yet again appropriate:
Apr 3 at 23:41, by FEichinger
What is it with people not being able to read?
 
it would be a little silly to "worry" over 12 reputation when I have 20k+
I am curious though as to how somebody could be so stupid
saying that, it's hardly one person who has fallen into that trap today, is it?
 
9:55 PM
@kalina Here, I'll go upvote to cancel out the stupid
 
Reading takes so long.
 
GTFO @kalina @AshleyNunn @Spugsley and any other female gamer that might be here
 
"I first found about the sexism in the gaming industry about a year ago"
gee, you're observant

that was also my first thought, but the rest of the video is ok
 
right well, sleepy time
 
10:04 PM
@kalina G'night
 
10:15 PM
So far, Game Dev Tycoon is eerily similar to Game Dev Story.
It's definitely inspired by it, at the very least.
Even the dates, time passing, cash, and sales are the same.
 
@SaintWacko It's not super old, why?
 
user15026
@BenBrocka I approve.
 
user15026
@fbueckert game dev tycoon?
 
@AshleyNunn New game that just came out. Seems to be a Game Dev Story clone on PC.
 
@fbueckert It's pretty much an exact replica with higher resolution graphics.
 
user15026
10:20 PM
Ah.
 
@Fluttershy It really does seem that way.
Figured I'd give it a shot before making a judgement, though.
 
@fbueckert I did. It's pretty much identical. They won't be getting my money.
 
@Fluttershy They even follow with slightly renaming the existing companies and people.
 
Yep!
 
I'd like to support them, but I think I'll just play Game Dev Story DX instead.
Not sure how far the English patch is, but at least I'm supporting a company that's innovating.
 
10:30 PM
@Fluttershy s/higher resolution/less charming
 
@Aarthi Package received! No mail thieves here! Huzzah!
 
10:47 PM
Figures, I'm trying to test what happens when a login fails for SteamCmd and all the sudden Valve's very faily login command works every time I try it
When I don't want it to fail, it does. When I do want it to fail, it doesn't

A: What does "zoning" mean for fighting games?

Real Shitprofessional term for spamming son

 
Hah! Almost 100K sold in the first week of games. Fantasy/RPG. I named it, "First Fantasy"
Ok, yes, the game is a pretty major GDS ripoff, but I like it anyways.
 
I just realized that How I Met Your Mother is gonna end with more seasons than The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Lost and 24 and just as many as Seinfeld and Scrubs (this includes the epilogue season). Let that sink for a moment.
 
@FEichinger But not as many as Frasier I think, which ran for... 11 seasons?
 
10:59 PM
@Powerlord 11, yeh.
 
user15026
. @feichinger I love HIMYM.
 
@Powerlord HIMYM will also end just one season short of Friends.
 
@AshleyNunn So how's Pandora's Tower treating you?
 
@fredley @NightExcessive can you check if mumble is working on the server now?
 
@MarcoCeppi Working for me
 
11:08 PM
\o/ apparently the upgrade a week ago took it offline
should be good to go
 
@FEichinger o.0
 
@SaintWacko My face when.
 
@Fluttershy Okay, home now, buying T&S
 
@SaintWacko Woo!
 
@Fluttershy I've spent pretty much the whole day playing it :P
 
11:19 PM
 
@Blem hiscore: 176
 
I feel that is easier than it was yesterday.
 
I am gonna call it a night and leave you with this video in case you haven't seen it yet

@Fluttershy Ffs. I can't log in to the site to download T&S
 
11:39 PM
@SaintWacko What's it doing?
 
@Fluttershy Just says Authentication failed
Oh, ffs
When it sends you a new password, you have to click a further link to activate it -.-
 
@SaintWacko Ah. Was about to link you to a post on the forum. <_< So... you got it working?
 
@Fluttershy Yeah, just finished downloading
Now time to eat supper, then back to playing
 
@graceNote just left one world in control of the bad guys from 90% of the game, seems legit
