So... I'm back
My fingers feel weird after not touching a keyboard for 13 days

btw, @fredley, you've been reviewing too quickly. I'm not taking action because your calls were still mostly good, but for most of them I needed significantly more time than you took to ensure there was no plagiarism or other stinks in what I was reviewing.

Q: Xbox Minecraft Problem. World won't show up?

MissMafiaxomy brother recently cleared my system cache for my Xbox and now when I go into minecraft my world shows up but when I go into that world , it's a new different world. I reinstalled the update but It still doesnt work and i don't know what to do next .. Please help me!

 
@FEichinger You are officially a No Fun Spoilsport Who Doesn't Get Joke's. Congratulations.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Have mercy. He's German.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I am?
@badp I am?
 
So... is anyone willing to tell me what happened in these past two weeks without me having to go over the entire transcript?

May 12 at 22:44, by FEichinger
But, please, don't call me German. I don't consider myself German, I just have to live here.
 
I didn't expect those other A51 stiffs to get it, but I expected better from you. :(
 
That's your confession right there!!
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I did get the joke. I voted to close all of those questions.
 
@PrivatePansy Woo!
Welcome back!
 
12:22 PM
@FEichinger You jerk.
The Jerk store called. They're running out of @FEichinger.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Hush you.
 
(For those that don't get The Joke:

Currently in definition.

@PrivatePansy Absolutely nothing that matters whatsoever, IIRC
 
I WILL NOT BE SILENCED.
 
@badp Dream logic.
 
12:23 PM
@FEichinger I WILL NOT HUSH.
 
@badp Oh. Well.
 
@badp It's not my fault we moved there and I can't afford moving home! Y_Y
 
Anyway, from now on I'll be back on weekends.
 
@PrivatePansy Everyone constantly missed you and did nothing else for 13 days.
 
@FEichinger Where'd you move if you had to?
 
12:24 PM
@OrigamiRobot <3
 
@PrivatePansy I got a diamond and there was cake, but not necessarily in related occurrences.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I will not play along. Stop it.
 
@TimStone Yay! That definitely deserves cake.
 
Oh, also I rewrote the election site
 
@TimStone nice!
 
12:26 PM
But I'm not quite done yet (and it looks the same, just works more reliably as far as the pieces I did go)
 
@badp Huh?
 
@FEichinger Oh yeah? Well I slept with your wife.
 
The food in the army is relatively nice, as far as canteen food goes, but cake is definitely not on the menu
 
-1 to that. We'll save you some next time there's a cake-adjacent activity.
All things considered, is that going well?
 
@TimStone He can have @Fluttershy's piece.
 
12:28 PM
Excellent
 
@badp How come you get notification of this and not me?
 
@TimStone @Fluttershy doesn't like cake and should be shunned.
 
@fredley it's not automated
 
@badp You just perusing stats?
 
yeah
 
12:29 PM
@OrigamiRobot I know, he's a heathen. Remember what he said about top hats too? That monster.
 
@badp Fair enough. Honestly if at a glance it makes sense I accept.
 
I did click through your reviews
(which is why I get to not act)
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I said hush.
 
I'm not sure how much I can reveal under the Official Secrets Act, which apparent every enlistee has to sign, so under the pain of death I'll reveal to you all that our company has a really cute cat called Yoghurt
 
@PrivatePansy YOU HAVE AN ARMY CAT?
 
12:35 PM
@badp What action could you take?
 
Yes. The commanders lets her into the company office
I think they feed her too
 
Ok I've just worked out who @PrivatePansy is
 
@fredley What took you that long?
 
@PrivatePansy Too many Fluttershy avatars
Not that that's a bad thing
 
12:37 PM
@fredley It's okay. You can admit it. It's a bad thing.

So they announced the new XBox?
I'm still catching up on two weeks of news here
 
@PrivatePansy yes
and hi
and hope you're well, etc
 
12:41 PM
@OrigamiRobot My Well quite
 
@PrivatePansy it's nothing special, another PC in a box with too much focus on TV and media rather than games
 
@PrivatePansy In honor of your absence, @kalina didn't even set anything on fire!
 
My candy-box-like has one major technical advantage: It prompts you if you try and reload/leave the page.
 
I did set things on fire, just not many
 
@FEichinger Shhh, I'm trying to make him feel more specialer.
 
12:42 PM
he should feel special anyway, he's not you
 
@OrigamiRobot I DUN CARE.
 
@kalina Lots of people aren't me.
 
@kalina I'm fine. Basic Military Training for this category of enlistee is relatively relaxed
 
@PrivatePansy No boot camp yet?
 
12:43 PM
Which is just as well, considering most countries won't even allow people with conditions that cause them to be in this category to enlist in the first place
 
@PrivatePansy I'm still surprised you were enlisted tbh
 
@fredley This is boot camp. Basic for all soldiers in Singapore is a five day a week thing
 
@PrivatePansy Wow, ok
 
I'm in PES C, which is not considered combat fit. The training is therefore more of an 'experiential' sort of thing rather than actually preparing me for fighting
 
but there's no cake?
 
12:46 PM
Normal BMT lasts 9 weeks. Mine is only 4 weeks at the Basic Military Training Center followed by 5 weeks of vocational training.

No cake :(
 
@OrigamiRobot I was referring to this
 
FINE I'M LEAVING
SORRY FOR EXISTING T_T
 
wait a second
you're no random guy on the internet
you're Yi Jiang
 
@badp you suck
 
12:47 PM
goddamn pansies
 
@badp You're even slower than @fredley today
 
@kalina it's not my fault people have to change identities all the time :P
 
@badp you really should go sit in a corner and reflect on how much you suck
 
Also, my rank isn't private yet
 
he renamed before he left
he posted in chat, with his new name after renaming
@PrivatePansy ensign or singapore-equivalent?
 
12:49 PM
@kalina I noticed that - 14 days ago
 
Recruit, which is what everyone gets before they finish BMT
 
@kalina Ensigns are junior officers, apparently.
 
mk
my bad
@PrivatePansy what is the most fun thing you've done so far?
 
I thought it was Navy specific, but apparently not always.
> The ranks of ensign and cornet were abolished in the U.S. Army in 1800.
Bahahaha, that wording is hilarious to me.
 
@kalina Eh, nothing particularly exciting. We learnt how to 'assault' urban buildings. The theoretical bit were quite interesting, but in the end for the hands-on part all we did was to run into a building and put two blank rounds into three target boards
 
12:54 PM
you hit three targets with two bullets?
that makes you 500% more skilled than the average American marine
 
Two bullets each for each of the three targets
Anyway, the instructor told us in private that urban operations like these are suicide missions, since the enemy would must likely be entrenched and have superior cover, so assaulting the building like we did would probably have gotten us killed
 
@PrivatePansy Your army sounds optimistic
 
They're training us to be "soldiers". Us here include asthmatics, people with eczema (who can't wear uniform for long periods of time without getting rashes all over their body), people suffering from depression who are not even allowed to draw arms because they're deemed to be suicidal, etc.
 
@Fluttershy kickass
 
@PrivatePansy I guess that means your chances to get a desk job later on are growing significantly lower
 
1:03 PM
Actually, it means I'm pretty much going to get a desk job
 
Are you around the ranks of asthmatics, people with eczema (who can't wear uniform for long periods of time without getting rashes all over their body), people suffering from depression who are not even allowed to draw arms because they're deemed to be suicidal, etc.?
 
@badp Yes
PES C recruits get posted to become clerks, storeman, military drivers, etc.
 
Military driver doesn't sound like a desk job
and it requires both an uniform and not being suicidal :P
Maybe you could show proof of having played Carmageddon for more than 30 hours. That could probably disqualify you from that position. or qualify you. Whichever.
 
1:19 PM
Crafting codex implemented
 
Good morning, Bridge.
 
@fbueckert 'ning
room topic changed to The Bridge: General Chat Room for Arqade.com. The main quarters of Arqade's SEI AskQuestion Mothership, now with a restored amount of small city states. [+complaints] [arq] [-fun] [-games] [jin-fanclub] [lazers] [mod-abuse]*
 
Isn't small city states a bit redundant?
 
@PrivatePansy Are you saying there's only one size of city states?
How would we differentiate them from each other?
 
If you want, I can add the hyphen.

1:29 PM
You forgot to take out
 
@OrigamiRobot Are we turning our back on Jin just for a lost dare?
 
You expect me to be a fan of Jin with hair like that?
 
We must stay even closer to @Jin in these tougher moments
 
He made the bet on his own free will.
 
Most mistakes are made that way!
They wouldn't really count as mistakes otherwise, they'd be more like oversights
 
Jin
1:32 PM
@OrigamiRobot you mean... you only loved me for my hair?
 
@Jin Of course.
 
Why are we a bunch of small city-states now?
 
@Jin your hair was nearly as long as mine
now it's all gone
 
@Jin Your lucky to get that, me being a robot and all.
 
there is nothing to be a fan club of anymore
 
1:33 PM
Wait. What? What happened to Jin's hair?
 
Jin
@OrigamiRobot ok i'll take what i can get, from a heartless bot.
 
@OrigamiRobot That face seems entirely appropriate.
 
you do look pretty broken in that picture though
 
Jin
@spolsky if you do it, I'll do it too. It's a dare.
 
1:34 PM
sadjin
 
@Jin what was the dare over?
 
Oh come on, you can't be sad after a dare.
 
@kalina click through
 
@kalina getting a buzz cut
 
@kalina It's @Jin daring someone to cut their hair.
 
1:35 PM
@Jin Your hair does not look like a buzzcut
 
@badp I might catch something if I go on twatter
 
@kalina You might catch what people's twatting about.
 
I love how Joel is super happy in his after pic and @Jin is super sad
 
@spolsky @jzy you do realize that Jins graphic design skills are contained within his hair follicles right?
 
Jin
@fredley well, technically it's not a buzzcut, because my wife would leave me. but compared to how long it used to be, it may as well be one
 
1:36 PM
@Jin Did you at least donate it to locks of love or sommat?
 
Jin
@OrigamiRobot it's not long enough to donate.
 
wait what.
 
Jin

1:38 PM
...you didn't eat it did you? Because that's what happens to most things you instagram
 
@BenBrocka It's twitpic, it's ok
 
1:52 PM
The same AMD chips for PS4 and #XBone, now for your computer - arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/05/…
I'm sure you can't wait
 
I never played hard mode; can anyone confirm that?
 
Chat is boring today
 
@badp If they really work for tablets as the lead says, that could be big actually. I don't think AMD currently does anything for mobile hardware
 
@fredley Sorry, I'm all drama'ed out this week.
 
Hm, these don't seem to quite be what's in the PS4
 
2:01 PM
How is chat boring, when there's the Xbone and the PS4 to talk about?
 
more than disc topics they're mocking topics :P
 
I'm still waiting for Giving the Call of Duty Dog an Xbone.
 
@fredley I'LL BORING YOUR FACE!
 
Oh, I played ranked again last night.
Lost twice T~T

2:05 PM
Is that the full character count?
 
@OrigamiRobot Still bored, and now you are to blame
 
there were 3 characters to spare
 
@BenBrocka Nice.
Epic Zalgofication.
 
Rally people to mid. Lose mid anyway. Build base between 2nd and mid. Survive four ubers on my toys. Cap mid. Push people to their second. Cap second. Buildo on their second. Cap last. Joyquit.
The best part was when the uber heavy came on my toys and the medic walked behind the sentry in an attempt to soak all the knockback
Pity I was wrangling it and the heavy lost uber and died immediately
@BenBrocka I could retweet that, but I wouldn't be able to top the creepy-Sonic-pasta avatar guy in that list honestly
 
The #Xbone appreciates all retweets
 
2:22 PM
@BenBrocka Minmaxing your Klout score, eh?!!?
oh lol
cmon. cooperate, paint
 
The Xbone is going to have so much Klout it will proactively social media engagement opportunities out the wazoo
I haven't used Klout since I noticed it completely ignores my 3000+ Youtube subscribers
despite being tied in to youtube
 
It seems like Twitter can detect Zalgo, although it can't translate from it.
 
wort wort wort
 
2:37 PM
Morning, Bridge
 
@SaintWacko Good morning.
 
Howdy.

Q: Redstone clock leaks current

Stafford WilliamsI build a small clock like the example at the beginning of this video, however, the pulse redstone is triggered slightly every time the cobblestone blocks move over it, instead of just when the glass block goes over it. This is causing a pulse on every cycle of the pistons, rather than on every ...

Q: What do we do with historic question that no longer make sense?

fredleyMinecraft's new (as of 1.5) water physics mean that this question no longer makes sense as a question - the situation can no longer arise. Should this question be closed/deleted?

 
Yeah, that looks like a valid question
 
@OrigamiRobot This question is not historic
 
@fredley I know, I'm just trying to be less boring.
 
@OrigamiRobot There are other ways than arguing to be non-boring
 
2:50 PM
@fredley Prove it!
 
Not boring
Not an argument
 
I can't be that.
 
@OrigamiRobot You can post things that make me hate Americans
 
@fredley You hate me? :(
 
@OrigamiRobot I hate your species
 
2:54 PM
@fredley Hating Americans is a pretty American thing to do.

@fbueckert hey that was yesterday's drama. You can't just repackage drama
 
@OrigamiRobot Stop hating yourself
 
@BenBrocka You can if you've taken the Drama Llama feat.
 
@BenBrocka I run through Meta.SO weekday mornings.
It's not drama until I find it.
 
@fredley Why? Are you saying Americans aren't hateable?
 
2:57 PM
@OrigamiRobot No, far from it
 
And technically, it's still ongoing, as he refuses to see that anything he did is wrong.
 
@fredley So why should I stop?
 
@fredley dat mullet
