The Bridge

@AshleyNunn They just kinda...fizzled. Nintendo was playing whack-a-mole with new games using different security features. The card was never updated to handle those features, although they kept saying it would be.

The devs just kinda disappeared after a while.

@fbueckert I thought it was released, but wasn't compatible with games that require firmware over 4.5

most new games require 6.2 or something I heard

@Krazer According to their website, it's still under pre-order status.

Q: Are intro videos part of some license agreement?

This is a question about intro videos for all games in general. Many video games have those intro videos with some company's logo or a name of some piece of software the game uses. Sometimes you can't skip those videos by normal means. I heard that this might be a part of some license agreement ...

@fbueckert news portion says pre order shipped end of last month

@Krazer Oh, right. I was looking here, which was linked in their Reseller list:

acekard.ca/Gateway-Card_p_192.html

@Lazers This is really not a good question. You could close it as Off topic. You could close it as too broad (There are all kinds of reasons that will vary by game!), you could close it as 'not clear what you're asking' because, quite frankly, it isn't clear what the hell he's asking.

What I'm trying to say here is; kill it with fire.

3:18 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz He's asking why there are all those company logo intros at the beginning of every game.

@fbueckert yeah still not worth the price, unless they find a way to unencrypt the cart images (which is unlikely)

Either way, there are a multitude of reasons you can use to close it. It doesn't belong, any way you look at it.

@Krazer $90, +1 microSD/game means I should just go buy the games.

I'm looking for convenience, not to lug even more crap around.

@fbueckert I'm looking forward to the Layton vs AA (finally) and MH4 3DS game (if they ever get around to releasing it here in a timely matter)

@Krazer I want a console/PC version of MH4.

Love the series, hate it on the tiny screens.

Mr. @iKlsR. How goes OpenTTD?

@fbueckert I tackled a 2048 x 2048 map the a couple days ago. Let's just say it didn't end well. :/

@iKlsR Patience. Start small, work your way up.

Back to 512 for now.

I had a nice industry going, actually made it to 1 million and somehow went bankrupt after leaving it unattended for a few hours.

Still learning signals.

A: Can someone explain me OpenTTD's train signals quick and easy?

8

There are six different types of signals you can use, and can be used as two-way signals for tracks meant to go both ways, or one-way signals for tracks meant to go in only a single direction. Block Signals: These separate track parts into "blocks", which can contain only a single train per bloc...

@PrivatePansy oh this is pretty cool~ nice job on this. small suggestion: would it be possible to leave the colored borders on to you can differentiate the rarity without needing to hover over?

First off, that does not sound boring to me. Secondly, I would not describe as boring. In the least. At all. Not even slightly

user15026

Cool, wanna watch cartoons? ;)

@AshleyNunn Whatcha watching?

5:09 AM

Way ahead of you ;)

But yes

Sounds like you have a snuggle buddy already though, so I probably have to fend for myself

Good question. As such we've been having some discussions of late around accessibility, see these questions here: Please fill in the alt text for images on this site Using code ticks for technical term highlighting considered harmful The general consensus being we should be thinking about dif...

Seriously. This attitude ruffles my feathers.

I'm all for catering to different types of users, and helping those who require screen readers, but making things more difficult for those without screen readers just to cater to those that do is silly.

There's no limits on the number of answers you can have.

If you feel the current answers are only helpful to those with readers, then make a new answer. There's no reason to make an existing fantastic image only answer worse by forcing to cater to every possible good.

I agree with the conclusion, though: A picture shouldn't be the core of the answer.

A: What does the full castle upgrade tree look like?

21

Okay, I've made you a flowchart of what upgrades unlock what. It takes only 1 point in an upgrade to unlock the next ones. If there are any upgrades which have multiple requiements, this may be off. You may have to open the image to see it easily.

You're wrong.

If the picture is gone and the answer is suddenly completely worthless, that's the wrong way to go.

Sometimes a picture is the best answer.

@FEichinger You could say the same thing about text.

The reason Stack Exchange has it's own server for images is to ensure reliability.

Yeah. I think we need to be able to trust our uploaded images.

11:40 AM

@Sterno Exactly.

Dead links aren't even the main reason we don't like link only answers. IT's that we force a user to go to another page and track down the information themselves.

It isn't user friendly.

I'm not talking about dead images, but whatever ...

@FEichinger Then what do you mean?

You can't just sy "this answer is bad because if you removed entire sections of it it's crap"

And converting a flow chart to pure text would kill readability

Because I could say the same thing about text.

I bet if I removed all the text from answers it would make a lot of them pretty useless.

I'll just make all of my answers images from now on, since that's fine.

11:43 AM

@FEichinger I see you're being completely unreasonable, and missing the point. So have fun with that.

Enjoy your temper tantrum.
