Unionhawk

3:00 PM

Especially me because I tend to have extreme latency during the day

FAE

@Arperum Then you need more self-discipline! Or @Kevin's suggestion...

Wipqozn

When Banished comes out I'll probably need to make a Banished chat room. I suspect @OrigamiRobot and I will be talking about it a lot.

Arperum

@FAE The self-discipline will be brought into place tonight by me falling asleep or something.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn That typo is so funny when you make it

Wipqozn

Although then again, keeping itin here will make more people buy it!

Unionhawk

3:01 PM

I did think to myself a couple times "It's late-o'clock here, what are you doing here @Arperum?"

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum that's not really discipline is it

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Yes, yes it is.

Wipqozn alot typo is best typo.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn That never works for me.

Yuki

@Wipqozn I'm probably going to buy it once I get another job or something.

Arperum

@Unionhawk I know >_<

Kevin van der Velden

3:01 PM

@Wipqozn heck, I'll probably be buying it!

So I'll either follow you there or talk about it here

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Just talk about more awesome games, and talk about less games more often.

Kevin van der Velden

Also, all the misplaced spaces in that sentence, don't misplace the space before it kids

Wipqozn

That is narrow the number of games you talk about, but increase the frequency at which you talk about them. Also make them more awesome.

Like Banished. Or Monster Hunter.

@Frank and I got so many people to buy Monster Hunter.

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn @GnomeSlice quality over quantity.

SaintWacko

Morning, Bridge

Arperum

3:02 PM

@Wipqozn :(

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn and you'd have gotten more people to buy monster hunter if capcom (I think?) wasn't horribl

Wipqozn

@KevinvanderVelden Probably.

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden This.

5pike

@KevinvanderVelden And if the WiiU had some other games

Kevin van der Velden

@5pike also this

Though I could probably buy monster hunter for the 3DS some day

Arperum

3:03 PM

@KevinvanderVelden maybe this.

Wipqozn

@5pike It does sir!

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn if the WiiU had some other good games

Wipqozn

Pikmin 3, those two mario games, Wonderful 101, your mom, Wind Waker HD...

5pike

@Wipqozn I checked, there are some games I'd like to play, but not enough to warrant a buy

Unionhawk

I should probably 1) Put pants on 2) Get food 3) Do homework, but I don't feeeeel like it........ >_>

Frank

3:04 PM

I should really head out and shovel.

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk If @OrigamiRobot was here I'm sure he'd tell you that putting on pants is a horrible idea and a mistake you'll regret.

Arperum

@Unionhawk Get to doing things!

Wipqozn

@Frank Snow blower.

Frank

But it's coooooold outside, and I don't waaaaaaanna.

OrigamiRobot

Don't put on pants.

Unionhawk

3:04 PM

@Wipqozn I know.

Dammit

Arperum

@Wipqozn getting food naked might not be the best plan.

Ben Brocka

MLB The Show 14 PS4 vs PS3

Frank

@Wipqozn Where would I store it? Garage is full.

Ben Brocka

Wipqozn

@Frank Get @TrentHawkins todo it.

Kevin van der Velden

3:05 PM

Not putting on pants sounds like a good idea

Ben Brocka

Not bad

Wipqozn

@Frank Put it in @TrentHawkins room.

Frank

@Wipqozn He's housesitting.

fredley

@RedRiderX @Sconibulus Less confusion!, grind stats!

Ben Brocka

@KevinvanderVelden I think that goes without saying

Frank

3:06 PM

@Wipqozn Yes, I'm going to wrestle a heavy snowblower up my steep stairs whenever I need to shovel.

Kevin van der Velden

Alas it is already far to late for me today as I've already put them on several hours ago =[

Frank

I'm better off just shovelling it without that, then.

Wipqozn

@Frank Then put some of the stuff in the garage in his room then. Jeez man, do I need to do al the work?

Frank

@Wipqozn Yes! Because it doesn't make sense!

RedRiderX

Good grief I'm going to need to pull a sick day today

I feel way too bleeergh

No need to throw up while talking with customers.

Arperum

3:07 PM

@Frank Making sense is overrated.

Jason Berkan

I need to fix my snow thrower. Would've come in handy yesterday.

Ben Brocka

@RedRiderX you're hardly dedicated to your customers if you're not willing to throw up all over them while helping them

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan Is that what you call your children?

Arperum

@BenBrocka suddenly remembers an Alestorm gig where the singer went to throw up in a bin every two songs

GnomeSlice

I'm at my dad's office today and I can hear somebody playing flappy bird

They're only getting like 2 each time

Jason Berkan

3:09 PM

@Wipqozn They are too small to shovel. They shovel off the deck and steps, but the driveway is too big.

Ben Brocka

@Arperum Now that's dedication

Q: Limit civ5 AI player unit count?

Is it possible to limit total number of units for AI player so they don't clutter the whole map with unit spamming? This also keeps AI from bankrupting.

civilization-5

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Tell them they are bad and should feel bad.

then set their computer on fire.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn That seems a bit much, no?

Also, Flappy Bird isn't terrible.

And it sucks that the developer got so much shit he had to take it down

Arperum

3:11 PM

@BenBrocka It was his own fault, he had been drinking extremely much the day before. I didn't get my hat signed though because of that :( He didn't do the signing session.

RedRiderX

@BenBrocka Yes this might reflect poorly on me audit coming up.

:P

GnomeSlice

Time to go to the dentist

Ben Brocka

You have puke-audits?

GnomeSlice

be back later

fredley

@GnomeSlice This is the benchmark by which I shall judge all your other game-recs

Arperum

3:12 PM

@BenBrocka You don't?

fredley

flagathon

Yuki

Hmm... I'm not sure if those flags are valid or not because I don't foreign language.

5pike

@Yuki language?

Yuki

@5pike I'm not sure if those messages are just random letters or someone actually speaking in a foreign language.

And whether or not speaking in not-English is considered spam/offensive.

3ventic

yup...

Frank

3:15 PM

Wow, that's a lot of flags.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice The punishment is for them not doing well.

@GnomeSlice No punishment is too severe for failure.

badp

guys, do you know about a klondike app for Android that's not terribad?

Yuki

Is speaking in not-English considered a flaggable offense (spam)?

badp

I really don't trust the app store ordering

@Yuki I wish. pt.SO rooms are on this site.

Unless you mean the main site?

Yuki

@badp Meant chat because of the recent flags.

@badp pt.SO?

5pike

3:18 PM

@badp Do you mean the cardgame?

badp

@Yuki I must've missed them

@5pike Yes

Possibly one of the SE sites with the least traffic.

5pike

@badp Ok. Well, I don't have one installed, so I cannot really suggest one.

Yuki

@badp Well, I can understand speaking in not-English in an explicitly not-English site room, but what about other rooms like Bridge or, in this recent case, Ask Ubuntu General?

Because I know not-English isn't allowed on the main SO site, I was wondering if that policy carried over to chat.

Frank

I'm all of a sudden glad the flagee isn't here.

Because I'd be hard pressed not to tell him to shut up.

badp

At 24k visits per day and counting (down), pt.SO is slightly less popular than other big-name SE sites, such as Sustainability.SE, Robotics.SE or Pets.SE (@AshleyNunn)

Q: Best strategy for a "rush-victory"

What I mean by rush victory? Win the game as fast as possible, without wasting any time on side-quests/other objectives. Based on this chart of tech tree we can say that the "order" would be: Start the game Kill an Alien Xeno-Biology TECH Arch Trower TECH Arch Trower WEAP Capture an outside...

xcom-enemy-unknown

Do you guys really think it's primary opinion based it?

fredley

@badp Soon: pt.gaming.stackexchange.com

Michel

the question looks more like "How do I defeat this boss"

fredley

Worst. URL. Ever.

3ventic

meta.pt.gaming.stackexchange.com?

Jason Berkan

@Michel I do not and I was considering posting a comment to stem the close votes.

badp

3:25 PM

@fredley plz no

Michel

My "mother-language" is Portuguese (pt-BR). but ... I don't like to search for answers in portuguese about Games or Programming (I don't really like portuguese at all. I still think I was born in the wrong country... CA and UK would be so great ...)

@fredley please no²

Frank

Huh. I hit the review queue with that. Thought I had said leave it open.

FAE

@Michel This is the kind of question that Arqade is best suited for in regards to Good Subjective questions.

badp

@Michel My portuguese colleague had similar feelings

I will however, for your sake, withhold the information about where we were colleagues in :P

so... non terribad klondike implementation on Android?

anybody?

Kevin van der Velden

I don't even know what klondike is, can't help you =p

badp

3:31 PM

@KevinvanderVelden The Windows implementation is called Solitaire

surely you know about Solitaire?

Kevin van der Velden

Aha, that I do

Michel

@FAE My tough exacly... When I saw the close votes I hit the up-down-votes to see if I got downs there too... because WTF! arqade nowadays is lacking of those "how to do this, tell me not link" questions

@badp I work with logic... ~crying

badp

The best one I'm looking at has "Desigh Customize as You Please!" in its screenshots.

Kevin van der Velden

Also, the dutch name for that game is patience

badp

It's so bad it broke my English

Why does this one have a fucking store?!

FAE

3:34 PM

@KevinvanderVelden I saw baby nijlganzen already today!

Ben Brocka

@badp I think my mom plays something just called "solitaire" or something

Martin Sojka

@badp Mobile games, eh?

Arperum

@FAE There are 6 lambs born at my parents place yesterday!

badp

Oh.

It only has Remove Ads in the store.

FAE

@Arperum How big is their farm? :o

badp

3:35 PM

That is fair enough.

Arperum

@FAE About ten goats :p and three of them birthed in less then 24 hours.

FAE

Also @KevinvanderVelden, @Arperum, what's the Dutch word for "gosling"? Jochem wasn't entirely sure.

@Arperum Oh, I thought you had sheep because you said lambs, or do they have sheep too?

Kevin van der Velden

@FAE uuh, I don't know what gosling means in english so I can't help you =p

Arperum

@FAE Goats get lambs too.

Jason Berkan

@KevinvanderVelden Baby goose.

FAE

3:38 PM

@KevinvanderVelden Baby goose!

Kevin van der Velden

Oooh

Yuki

Kevin van der Velden

I thought so but wasn't 100% sure and the wikis were only linking me that guy ^

FAE

@Arperum Ah, baby goats are usually called "kids" in English. :)

Arperum

@FAE Can't help you there. I'd say "ganzenkuiken".

Yuki

3:38 PM

@KevinvanderVelden I'm surprised nobody linked it before me.

5pike

@Arperum Do they have a goat tower?

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum probably, what I'd call it to

Yuki

And yes, I know a "gosling" is a baby goose.

FAE

I know ducklings are "pijltjes" apparently, but I didn't know if there was a specific word for goslings or not.

Michel

@OrigamiRobot has over 56K messages :P

Arperum

3:40 PM

@5pike Nope, they aren't mountain goats or other of those tiny jumping things. They are properly medium sized goats. They do have a "hill" though, where the ground from our pool/pond got piled up.

@FAE Never heard of that.

user15026

@arperum my aunt raises goats!

5pike

@Arperum Goat hill . . . yeah, that sounds nice

Unionhawk

Dammit @ori now I've still done none of the things I said I needed to do, and I blame you

OrigamiRobot

You can't blame me. I am sick and stranded at home.

5pike

Oh man, there's even a wiki article . . .

Goat tower

A Goat Tower is a decorative goat house, modeled on a European garden Folly, an early example of which was built in Portugal in the 19th century.A South African goat tower at Fairview Winery was built in the 20th century and became famous, inspiring additional copies throughout the world. The first goat tower (Torre das Cabras) at a winery was built by Fernando Guedes da Silva da Fonseca (1871-1946) at Aveleda, one of the oldest and most famous wineries in the Vinho Verde region of Portugal. Fairview has more than 750 Saanen goats on their farm, the milk from which is used to produce ...

Arperum

3:42 PM

They are "Toggenburger goats"

Kevin van der Velden

@FAE Also never heard of that

Arperum

OrigamiRobot

@Unionhawk Well, you can blame me for keeping you pants off.

Arperum

That's the race.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot If you weren't sick and stranded at home this never would have happened.

(also I have no idea what you're talking about)

OrigamiRobot

3:42 PM

Me neither.

FAE

@KevinvanderVelden Jochem is surprised about this. Maybe it's a regional thing? I dunno!

@Arperum Goat!

OrigamiRobot

I think I will go outside and see what's what.

Yuki

3

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot I have established that I assign blame almost arbitrarily

Arperum

@FAE Toggenburger! These are rather social goats. They don't fight too much.

user15026

3:44 PM

@arperum my aunt has saanen goats and toggs too :) I like the babies they are always cute. The bigger ones are fun except they like to chew on me a little.

Unionhawk

So... in that case! Dammit @fei this is all your fault!

OrigamiRobot

@AshleyNunn Don't all goat like to chew on everything?

Arperum

@AshleyNunn I think all goats kinda chew on you a little.

Kevin van der Velden

@AshleyNunn then you should give them food!

FAE

@Arperum They are cute!

OrigamiRobot

3:45 PM

@FAE Goats are not cute.

Goats are scary.

Arperum

Heck, we have one goat who would chew on an active chainsaw if you didn't keep her away...

OrigamiRobot

They have rectangular pupils.

FAE

@Arperum D:

@OrigamiRobot So do horses.

Kevin van der Velden

@FAE horses are terrifying

OrigamiRobot

Horses are also scary.

5pike

3:46 PM

@OrigamiRobot and tasty

Michel

gaming.stackexchange.com/posts/42571/revisions

Arperum

Our ~~lambs~~ kids (specially for you @FAE) are fed by hand, since we have goats for the milk. No bottles though, they have to learn to drink from a pot on day one.

Michel

Jerry made an edit that I doesn't agree with.

Arperum

ANd some of them tend to dive into that rather enthusiastically. Resulting in being drenched in milk if you are not carefull...

Michel

I don't think that the tag is a valid edit, since the answers made are valid for all series and the game of the OP is defined already in the question itself

FAE

3:49 PM

@Michel It's a bit too broad without the specification that it's Heart Gold/Soul Silver though, as the different generations of Pokemon games will have different methods.

SaintWacko

@Michel It really depends. Does the answer changed based on which gen it is?

Arperum

@FAE Not for speeding up egg-breeding.

Michel

@FAE The accepted answer shows the tips that you can use in the almost all gens and @scena created a complete answer about it.

StrixVaria

@SaintWacko Barely.

Michel

Hatching eggs in pokemon is "walk walk walk" profit. So the "tips" can be made for general series

StrixVaria

3:51 PM

The only difference is the specific location where you get a long path that's easily bikeable.

Although it's always right next to the daycare.

SaintWacko

@Michel Maybe leave a comment then saying that the answer is the same in any gen, so the tag is unnecessary

Ben Brocka

though there are occasionally better than next-to-daycare places, like Lumoise

Kevin van der Velden

@Michel the latest version of pokemon has 3 ways of speeding it up that I know off

SaintWacko

And upvote the last answer]

StrixVaria

@BenBrocka I feel like the extra time flying to Lumiose comes close to not making up for how easy it is to just hold one direction forever.

Michel

3:53 PM

@SaintWacko I came here to talk about it, then link it there. like i did

Ben Brocka

@KevinvanderVelden three? ability is the only one I know of, unless "bike" counts

Kevin van der Velden

@BenBrocka 2 different hidden abillities and an item apparently

Ben Brocka

@StrixVaria agreed, but I don't hatch as many eggs as the people who seem to prefer the circle

the hidden abilities are identical hatching-wise though and don't stack, and the charm makes eggs appear, not hatch, faster

Kevin van der Velden

Also there's an O-power

Ben Brocka

Oh right, the O-power. Not sure it's worth one question per gen though

Arperum

3:54 PM

@KevinvanderVelden Mentioned in an answer.

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum my point was only that there is more to it than walk walk walk =p

Ben Brocka

It's just like gen 2&3 bike, gen 4 use abilities, gen 6 use O powers too

Michel

@BenBrocka I hatched so many that I practically populate pokemon world (anime)

user15026

Argh is it just me or is the Turtle Rock boss in LBW super hard? Is there like a recommended order for these?

Unionhawk

@AshleyNunn He is.

Kevin van der Velden

3:55 PM

@BenBrocka gen 5 use Pass powers to

OrigamiRobot

@AshleyNunn Which one is that?

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot The fire turtle dude

Kevin van der Velden

Also the item was for inheriting IV's, my bad

user15026

@origami the dungeon you use the ice rod in with the fiery turtle thing

SaintWacko

I think Movies should take over for Scifi as the butt of The Bridge's jokes

There are some terrible questions on there

13

Q: What 80's movie was first to have an official montage?

We all know that 80's movies were famous for their montages with cheesy music going on in the background and randoms clips of the main characters doing things (cleaning up, playing games, etcetera) What was the first 80's movie to do this?

first-appearance

Michel

3:57 PM

I really hate to "rollback"

Yuki

@SaintWacko Apparently, the first 80's movie to have a montage was made in the 70's.

SaintWacko

So many "What was the first x"

Yuki

slow clap

SaintWacko

@Yuki Right?

RedRiderX

Okay how the heck do you save layouts in supergnes?

SaintWacko

3:57 PM

My favorite part of that question

OrigamiRobot

@AshleyNunn I don't even remember this fight

Unionhawk

@AshleyNunn He's a difficult guy. I died like, 4 times to him. Then I farmed red rupees at the castle and then death wasn't a big deal. But it was still difficult.

StrixVaria

What's the penalty for dying in LBW?

Fluttershy

I am so bored.

SaintWacko

LBW?

Unionhawk

3:59 PM

@StrixVaria You lose all rented items

user15026

@unionhawk I bought the rod, so I don't care when I die, I would just like to die a little less often. Is there no way to like jeep fairies in jars in this one?

SaintWacko

Oh
