The Bridge

And first close vote cast again.

@fbueckert By you? whats wrong with the question?

I'm not sure what value this question has; it has all the problems of ITG, and doesn't even include a screenshot so we know what he's talking about. — fbueckert 3 hours ago

@fbueckert ITG?

@Scootaloo identify-this-game

8:06 PM

@fbueckert Ah.

It's sheer luck that the correct item was in the list.

@fbueckert How do we vote to close anyway? just flag it or do you have to have a certain amount of points?

@Scootaloo You need 3K rep.

Unless it's one of your own questions.

@fbueckert Wow. How long did it take you to build up 3k?

@Scootaloo ...I dunno? If you really want rep, you can hit it in 15 days.

That's minimum, though.

8:10 PM

@fbueckert I don't want to spam though.

I mainly ask questions, but sometimes I do answer.

@Scootaloo Good. Don't worry about rep all that much; it just means you spend more and more time here.

Apparently, I got 3K at the beginning of July last year.

So...about four months or so?

@badp wat?

I'M HOME

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

@TrentHawkins Are you idle?

@spugsley OHAI

8:25 PM

@Scootaloo Generally, yes - my default state of being is idle.

@TrentHawkins I can confirm.

I can't even get him to mow the lawn!

Q: how can I solve the slow framerate and crashing sound in call of jurez : gunslinger

@TrentHawkins Yay. I'm still not sure which moves I should teach it. Quite a few options.

Plus I'll have to deal with the Dream World nonsense.

Ok..I just got this game and I'm trying to play it but its so slow and the sound keep crashing(meaning the game sound just starts making sh!!!!!! Loudly and the pc freezes) and when it finally gets a kick start the game is like so slow, even when I reduce the resolution it doesn't help.

technical-issues

@fbueckert Hey, if you want to go outside and mow the lawn while it's raining, be my guest.

@TrentHawkins There's been lots of sunny days lately!

8:28 PM

@TrentHawkins would you mind fixing this? "Cute Charm or Wonderskin(hidden ability)".

MY CAT IS SO HAPPY TO SEE ME

He is drooling all over me!

Powerlord

@spugsley At least someone is!

@TrentHawkins All this time I assumed you guys lived in an apartment. My entire world view has been shattered.

8:29 PM

@Wipqozn Does it matter?

@Wipqozn Pfft. Apartment.

@spugsley I don't think cats are supposed to drool.

I own a house, thank you.

@fbueckert Oh my. Good call.

@Wipqozn This is not the first time I've said that.

8:30 PM

@fbueckert we are going to look at houses for the first time tomorrow :3

@spugsley Woo!

@fbueckert Yeah, I probably just forgot.

@spugsley You go girl!

Wait...I thought you had already been looking before?

@Scootaloo in what way do you feel it needs fixing?

@fbueckert Are you calling @spugsley a liar?

8:31 PM

@Wipqozn It is my intention to buy another one this year, and rent this one out.

@Wipqozn Nope.

@fbueckert Money is indeed an awesome thing.

Just trying to resolve the conflict my brain has provided.

Stupid memory, remembering little details like that.

@fbueckert nope. We talked to the Realtor and everything but haven't gone out yet.

@TrentHawkins There should be a space in-between "Wonderskin" and "(hidden ability)".

Oh, my potatoes are boiling. I must depart.

8:32 PM

@spugsley Ah, ok.

Conflict resolved. Details, yay!

fredley

A conflict was resolved? On the Bridge?

@TrentHawkins thank you. That was killing me.

@fredley IKNORITE

@TrentHawkins @fbueckert I thought you guys only ever got snow...

fredley

@spu WAAAAAAAT

8:33 PM

@Coronus This year is currently shaping up to get lots more snow.

Our "summer" so far is very crappy.

@Scootaloo Oh... my... I just looked it up, just getting a Skitty with Wonder Skin to appear in the dreamworld requires 10000 dreamworld points >.< That's a lot of grinding.

@Coronus We dig tunnels to get at the grass so we can mow it.

@TrentHawkins It's a good thing I'm using an emulator then.

*With my legally dumped rom.

@Scootaloo good catch.

@TrentHawkins Those ice sculptures get pretty elaborate, sometimes. Gotta find some way to focus the light.

8:46 PM

Jul 9 '12 at 19:56, by spugsley

@fbueckert if I'm around that is. @IanPugsley and I are meeting with a realtor to discuss buying a house :) whooooo

@spugsley

Whew, that was almost a year ago!

@fbueckert yeah, we did meet with him, and realized we needed to save up a bit more money before doing anything else...and now, here we are a year later :)

@spugsley Yeah, the money down tends to put a damper on things.

That's a not-inconsequential amount of cash.

@fbueckert yeah and we still don't have as much as we'd like but it's one of those things were I don't think we'll ever have as much as we would like lol

but I'm out of school now which significantly drops our expenses. So yeah, it's time

@spugsley At least by buying a house, you're investing in something for your future.

It's a spugsley!

8:50 PM

IT IS!

@GraceNote You look familiar.

Wonder Skin actually worked on things like Whirlwind in the original BW, which would make it nice on the Baton Pass sets. Don't know if that's still the case in B2W2 though. — Grace Note 2 hours ago

Yes, that is the same me there. I am in fact me.

@GraceNote Doesn't make much sense, but ok.

@Scootaloo Whirlwind was classified as a "status attack", dropping it's accuracy to 50%, in Black and White.

It may, or may not, function the same in Black and White 2.

@Scootaloo If you're still having trouble deciding, consider that Skitty may not be the worlds greatest front-line fighter. I'm not going to say 'he sucks', but his stats are somewhat underwhelming even with ideal effort and hidden values. But you know what you don't need great stats for? Cunning and Guile. Poison your enemies and laugh your butt off as your Skitty taunts them with protect and Double Team.

And just for good measure, have Heal Bell available so you can laugh at their attempts to do the same to you!

8:56 PM

@fbueckert Why wouldn't it be working in B/W2 thogh?

@TrentHawkins Does Skitty actually do taunts after attacking?

@Scootaloo Perhaps Whirlwind is no longer classified as a status attack?

I dunno; I haven't played much of the latest pokemon games.

Keep in mind I' haven't played with Skitty extensively since Emerald.

@Scootaloo Technically no, but in my head that's what they do.... "Hey, I poisoned you? what'ch'ya going to do about it? I can dodge ALLL day."

@TrentHawkins And then gets smacked upside the head, because karma's a bitch.

bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Whirlwind_(move)

8:58 PM

Yep according to Bulbapedia it is.

Status attacks don't innately have an accuracy of 50% to the best of my knowledge

(and it's listed as 100% as of gen 2)

In other news DeSmuME 0.9.9 finally came out.

desmume.org/2013/04/30/desmume-0-9-9-released

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post links to emulators, but since it has no roms I guess it's alright.

@Scootaloo cool

@BenBrocka Ya. According to them there should be a speed up, but more than anything I'm glad to see that they are still alive :).

@kalina How does that fall into the category of allowed ITG questions?

9:10 PM

Yay @Fluttershy is back.

HIIIIIIIIIII

@Fluttershy

@spugsley HIIIII

So, if this can get closed again, that'd be great.

@Fluttershy I said hi too.

@Scootaloo No you didn't. You just pointed out that I was back

@Fluttershy Hi.

9:15 PM

@Scootaloo Hello.

@Fluttershy I might have been on drugs at the time

@Fluttershy Did you get the reference?

If not that'd be rather sad.

@kalina Likely. That question shouldn't have been reopened. I'm going to go ahead and hold you single-handedly responsible, and place none of the blame on any of the other reopen voters. =D

@Scootaloo Yes. Yes I did.

@Fluttershy Good.

Q: How do I transfer my secrets between the original Legend of Zelda: Oracles of Ages and Seasons between the original versions and the 3DS versions?

It's been a while since I played the original editions of The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. I'm starting up cold on the 3DS and I want to know how to transfer all my secrets from the old games to the new ones.

3ds zelda-oracle-of-seasons zelda-oracle-of-ages

user15026

@grumpylazers I can't decide if that question is a dupe of my Zelda Oracles question or not

@Nolonar: I think he's asking if it's possible to link a GBC game with a 3DS version. — Ullallulloo 27 secs ago

@AshleyNunn Which one?

@AshleyNunn: I'm so ad we're going to miss the last fishing tournament before the fall. I like fishing.

user15026

@wipqozn yeah. I just hope I get my copy like right on Monday

user15026

@wipqozn the one linked in the question, actually

9:52 PM

@AshleyNunn Are you and @Fluttershy talking about the Zelda question being re-opened?

user15026

Oh, okay, no, it isn't a dupe now that I read it again

@Wipqozn No. The Identify-this-Helmet question from earlier.

Oh, that one. I'd love to help you but I don't think it should be closed. I think it's a horribly stupid and useless question, but not close worthy.

@BenBrocka It is probably fine, eh, whatever.

@badp banned for being indecisive

9:57 PM

@BenBrocka banned for banning

I want to get in on on this ban party! CAn someone ban me too!?

RedRiderX

@Wipqozn Sure, I'll just get out my ban hammer:

►

@AshleyNunn I love this guy. He's awesome.

@Wipqozn It's absolutely close-worthy. What about it is different from Identify-This-Game?

"Help me find this sword on the loading screen. It's pointy and looks pretty sharp!"

"Oh, and it has a thing that lets you safely hold it."

The sword is on the loading screen, right?

then the question is fine

10:03 PM

@badp The game exists somewhere, right?

Then the question is fine.

It's not somebody's recollection of a sword in a loading screen

The key point is if you're trying to remember a game based on some thing that exists as opposed to some thing that you remember

@badp Is it? I dunno how many ITG questions I saw that started with "I remember it had..."

@Fluttershy "I remember it had" == close

operative word: "remember"

"Help me find this game. ~~I remember~~ It had a caveman in it who hit stuff with a club."

@Fluttershy There is no thing there to identify

10:05 PM

One less word doesn't make it a good question.

@badp Sure there is! The thing is a ~~helmet~~ game!

@Fluttershy But we have no thing to identify it with!

One of the comments sorta sums it up, actually.

@badp Like a screenshot? Which the helmet question doesn't have?

The idea is that if you have a screenshot, or a piece of soundtrack etc. then it's fine

@spartacus major hat-tip in your direction for the hint to the answer, I haven't pursued the Blades quests myself so I don't think I'd triggered their artifacts in the loading screen — Rory 1 hour ago

10:06 PM

@Fluttershy It's in the loading screen right? Tell him to press F12.

If the loading screen pictures are triggered by your progress, this becomes hella subjective.

user15026

@wipqozn I am sad we have to wait til fall for fishing tournament goodness

@AshleyNunn We get bug catches throughout all of summer I believe, so that's something.

Ohhh, this is Skyrim with its random selection of gear in the loading screen right?

Bugs are lame though. Fish are where it's at.

10:07 PM

Fucking Skyrim. Yeah this question is terrible.

@badp Yes

Wait, I thought he did have a picture?

Didn't he edit it in after someone made a request?

@Wipqozn No. He didn't.

Closed.

If he posts a screenshot himself, I say keep it open.

Until then, close the damn thing.

10:08 PM

@badp <3

user15026

@wipqozn yeah bugs are okay I guess but fish are bettet

Misclicked. I had no intention of actually starring that. <_<

@Wipqozn your first comment's butchered

@fbueckert Yeah, I made a comment to that effect. If he edits in a screenshot I'll re-open.

@badp Oops.

@Wipqozn And I'll join you!

10:10 PM

I stopped typing that when you posted, must have entered it by mistake.

@fbueckert What if he just copies the image link from the answer?

I still don't like the question, but it'll follow the rules, at least.

@Fluttershy Not much we can do about that.

It's a concrete artifact, and it's what he was looking for.

nevermind, sorry, super-offtopic, I ended up backscrolled like all day

I think it's on topic

@Wipqozn gaming.stackexchange.com/review/suggested-edits/38217

10:25 PM

there we go, now it fully fills the requirements

Seriously? The only reason someone else could edit that in is because the answer lucked out in finding the right one.

;)

tugs

Hooray!

@fbueckert The end result works out just fine :P

@fbueckert "It's all black with three gold claw like things trailing back down the helmet originating from one point in the dead center of the crown of the helmet" That's really specific.

10:27 PM

@Ullallulloo And yet, we got three different helmets.

It still should have been closed, but now it's okay.

thanks @tugs. (How'd you get that screenshot?)

I don't totally agree, but I don't care enough to argue the point.

tugs

@badp uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Loading_Screens :P

Doesn't really teach him the ropes very well if we do all the work for him.

10:29 PM

@fbueckert ehhhhhhhhhhhh. If we're going to enforce rules, then we're going to enforce rules. Welcome to the part where I don't really like rules.

@badp That's fair. And that's the way we want it, so that's the way it should be.

I prefer to teach the users, rather than do what they should be doing.

There's nothing wrong with helping users along the way.

His question got closed and re-opened, we pointed out what was wrong, someone who wasn't involved fixed it.

even if he never comes back, we have one extra question on the site for, um, reverse google image search to use.

In 1988, getting 30 lives in Contra meant pressing ↑↑↓↓←→←→B A. In 2013, it means paying a £13.99 in-app purchase.

I got a package today (a phone case I ordered from ebay) and the entire thing was wrapped top to toe in two layers of packing tape. It required much knife action to open.

@BenBrocka It's due to the Wonder Skin effect.

@GraceNote this room isn't big enough for 2 SE employees

Whirlwind would normally be 100% accuracy, but against someone with Wonder Skin, it's 50%.
