@PrivatePansy There are good games on the 3DS. There is not good 3D on the 3DS
 
If we factor in the starting at level 30 post-retire, that means each character needs to gain 1665 levels in a game that gives about 1/3 as much experience as the other games.
 
The hardware is completely god awful but there's somehow a good amount of good games on it. So it's a Nintendo console

Q: Skyrim Requiem mod load order

DictatorWhen i run Tes5Edit i get two errors about Moonpath_questdata.esp and Guard Dialogue Overhaul.esp and their Requiem patches. 1.Should i just move Requiem and all Requiem patches at the bottom just before bashed patch? 2.Is the rest of the load order ok? 3.Please make suggestions as to what i s...

 
Is Jynx actually a good pokemon? Good enough for TPP, anyway
 
2:05 PM
All I know about Gen 2 is watching some of the kids of my friends playing it waaay back in the day, and them facing against Clair, and then having a hoot about Dragonbreath pretending that it's smelly because it's breath and these kids are like 10.
Oh, and werster being wrecked by Rattatas in Sprout Tower.
 
@FAE facedesk
 
FAE
@FEichinger Yyyyyep.
 
@FAE To be fair, technically her father lost it by telling her.
Her actions just let everyone else know that had happened.
it's a bit ridiculous that you're supposed to somehow not tell your daughter though
 
@BenBrocka I remember this one, though I'm still fond of this more.
 
2:08 PM
@GraceNote I was about to go looking for that one.
 
I never did much grinding in EO games, but I also didn't do much post-game
 
the leaning tower of knuckles is prett good. This one has more varied carts though
 
Someone sent it to me the other day.
 
I got "enough" grinding just by mapping everything out and making sure I stepped on every map tile
 
@BenBrocka Why does it have two Sonic & Knuckles?
 
2:09 PM
Probably because it's more common than the rest
 
That's silly
EITHER ALL THE SAME OR ALL DIFFERENT
 
FAE
@BenBrocka My friend says this won't work though because the Master System converter doesn't work on top of a 32X and what's plugged into the Master System converter is a cleaning kit, which has no connector pin passthrough.
So it'd just be a black screen if you turned it on.

@FAE pretty sure Sonic and Knuckles into Sonic and Knuckles would only play the stand-alone ring collecting minigame instead anyway
 
FAE
@BenBrocka that'd just give you the "No Way!" screen
 
@FAE doesn't plugging any non-Sonic 3 game into it play the ring minigame?
 
2:21 PM
@BenBrocka I could test this.
 
I'm sure it did that with Sonic 3D blast and other crap I tried, I didn't have two And Knuckles carts to try that with though
 
@StackExchange You're now my least favourite person who I don't have ignored.
LEAST. FAVOURITE.
TIMES A BILLION
also, the folks over at RPG.SE are pretty cool.
 
FAE
@BenBrocka Yeah. If it's Sonic 1, then you'd get all levels of it.
@Wipqozn <3~
 
Word has serious problems. Microsoft has no idea how to program windows, it seems.
 
@BenBrocka That spherical ball thing?
@Ullallulloo Use LyX
 
2:34 PM
@badp yeah with the rings and the red/blue orbs you avoid/collect
 
@badp what kind of ball isn't spherical?
 
@GnomeSlice oval balls!
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice American footballs.
 
@FAE I guess...
Mark Leung!
HORROR
 
So which of you fine folks are planning to pick up Mario Kart 8 in may?
 
2:42 PM
@Wipqozn Probably
 
nah
 
FAE
@Wipqozn I would if I had a WiiU
 
@FAE You could just buy one.
 
FAE
@Wipqozn I have to import a NA one.
 
Or buy ten! Nintendo would thank you
Maybe make a small fort out of them
 
2:45 PM
@BenBrocka good idea
 
FAE
I really wanted that Wind Waker one too. :(
But it will probably be gone by the time I can get to the US.
 
@FAE The GameStop here still has some!
 
@BenBrocka Or...a go kart!
 
@FAE if you watch for fire sales some places have been unloading the bundles + extra games for <$300
 
FAE
2:55 PM
@BenBrocka Hm, it's hard for me to catch those though because I usually don't have enough in my US bank account to purchase something like that outright.
 
Good morning, Bridge
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice They have a pinball game?
@Frank Hello!
 
@FAE Apparently!
 
FAE
Ah, it's a table in PinballFX2.
 
3:05 PM
Some mild discounts on Luigi eShop games
Oh that's for brits, not sure about US
 
@BenBrocka It was the Year of Luigi? I never noticed.
 
Shun the non-believer! Shuuuun
 
user15026
Dream Team was/is a pretty good game. (I should really finish it)
 
I need to finish bowsers inside story.
Along with a lot of othe game.s
 
user15026
Yeaaaah
 
user15026
3:09 PM
I am so bad at actually finishing stuff up.
 
FAE
Oh hey, is Pokemon Battle Trozei out yet?
 
@AATTVVV That folder labeled "stuff"? It's porn, I guarantee it.
 
> Nintendo announced Pokemon Battle Trozei, the sequel to Pokemon Trozei, on February 13, 2014. The game is due out exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS eShop on March 20th, 2014 in the United States for $8.00 USD and in Europe/UK (under the name "Pokemon Link Battle") on March 13th.
So they're going with $8 instead of $7.18 which they did in Japan, that's lame
 
FAE
Damn.
 
(because there are 718 announced pokemon)
 
3:15 PM
@BenBrocka Stupid Americans liking their nice, rounded numbers.
 
pretty sure it's just marketing that loves them
 
user15026
I am excited for that too. :)
 
@BenBrocka I love nice round numbers.
 
Yeah but you're a robot
 
I think I want to be Canti again.
 
FAE
3:20 PM
@AshleyNunn It's a match game with pokemon! I'm very excited.
 
Angry Kirby: Now in Europe
 
@BenBrocka Poor Europe.
 
also I hope that gross "also on 2DS" emblem is just a sticker like it is on current games. It's even more annoying than the meaningless "Playstation Network" logo on PS3 games
 
WELCOME TO OUR HELL
 
DON'T FORGET: YOU ARE HERE FOREVER.
 
3:35 PM
I think I went and looked and the most recent games to not have Angry Kirby are Kirby Super Star Ultra and Kirby's Dream Collection (which is a special case)
Even Air Ride has angry kirby
 
@badp THE RIDE NEVER ENDS Warning: Seizures beware.
 
FAE
@Wipqozn the hell
 
maximum override?
 
@FAE NEVER ENDS
 
3:39 PM
STARTUP LIFTOFF
We just landed a major deal
:D
 
@fredley Whoo!
 
FAE
@fredley Congratulations! What kind of company are you starting? :o
 
@FAE I'm assuming porkchop production.
 
@FAE The company started 2 years ago
We just landed a big partnership today
I can't say with whom unfortunately
but a big partnership, with a very big company
 
3:41 PM
@fredley I assume you played the "I'm an internet moderator" card?
 
@Wipqozn Obviously. I showed them my diamond porkchop, and that was pretty much that.
 
FAE
Ah, gotcha. I hope things go well!
 
@fredley Judging from what happened recently with Failbetter, I'm gonna guess "Bioware".
 
@FAE We've got a few more due diligence hurdles before the ink/blood hits the contract, but those should be okay
@Yuki Yes. Bioware has bought Mamota.
 
@fredley I knew it!
 
3:43 PM
@Yuki MUDs have been unfashionable for long enough to be cool again.
 
FAE
@fredley Awesome.
 
@GnomeSlice ...yes?
 
What's the difference?
 
3:45 PM
@GnomeSlice That one is a beta.
 
@GnomeSlice Bugs!
 
@Wipqozn Thank you for your helpful description.
 
@GnomeSlice You're welcome!
Oh, @GnomeSlice, send me that album again.
I'll listen to it..wait no.
 
@Wipqozn Which?
 
Never mind. Send it to me on facebook via a PM.
 
3:47 PM
Alright.
 
The on you posted on facebook.
 
Yeah I figured.
 
I can listen to it tomorrow at work.
 
@Wipqozn did you change your facebook name?
Nevermind
facebook was just being slow
Noooooooooo
 
3:52 PM
@fredley What am I looking for?
That site is not compatible with download managers, because it uses secure download URLs or something.
 
@GnomeSlice Down Them All, a popular browser extension from the earlier 00's, to allow resumable downloads over slow/crappy internet connections
It may still exist, I have no idea
 
@fredley I use Orbit as a DM

Q: If the teacher dies of old age students were kicked out?

PeterCoMy teacher died of old age and all my students were kicked out.As far as I know, such 'uneducated' people can never go back to school. How can I prevent that the actual students will be kicked out?Can I 'queue' a replacement teacher in such a case?

 
@GnomeSlice I use decent internet
 
EagleGet is pretty nice too.
 
3:54 PM
@fredley I had to use that thanks to dial up shudder
 
@BenBrocka Me too. Dark days.
 
I think it once took me like a week to get the better textures mod for Morrowind
 
Groupees has the same problem, as well as IndieGameStand. They use secure download shit with php and stuff so it doesn't work with download managers
 
@BenBrocka UT mods/map packs. Some were ~100MB, at 1MB/6 minutes
10 Hour download
Those were the days
*sigh*
 
@fredley same. Got Operation Na Pali or whatever, huge single player mod. Took ages, was worth it
 
3:56 PM
Is ikoid.com down?
 
Awful voice acting, amazing mod
 
down checker says it isn't
 
@BenBrocka The Marathon-esque modpack, can't remember what it was called now
That was huge
Rampancy
Awesome times
 
Love that Paul Robertson clearly had some creative control in Mercenary Kings
No one else would put rainbow robot dogs in a game
 
My favourite part of Mario Tennis is when I hit another play in the face with the ball. Just like in real tennis!
 
3:59 PM
My favorite part of Mario Tennis is Daisy is an actual playable character runs off and cries
 
@GnomeSlice Looks up here
 
Mario Tennis was fun with other people.
Endless topspin shots to push them further and further back before a drop shot.
I made so many enemies with that game.
 
Jin
i got yelled at by a healer lastnight in FF14 :( I is fail at tanking
 
@Jin I wouldn't know about tanking in FFXIV, but it's a deceptively hard job.
 
Jin
@Yuki it was my first time in that dungeon. boss fight was hectic.
 
4:06 PM
They shouldn't be too hard on you, you need practice to tank properly.
And getting practice means you're going to mess up.
 
Jin
i miss playing dps. i'd just sit back 'n pewpew
tanking is a lot more responsibility
 
Yeah, f--k DPS, those little entitled bastards.
> "I keep getting targeted by the boss, this tank sucks!"
> "Well, maybe YOU SHOULD MANAGE YOUR AGGRO AND NOT ROLL YOUR FACE ALL OVER THE KEYBOARD!"
> "I keep dying!"
> "Well, stop standing in the void zones like an idiot!"
 
Jin
yeah some dps would start pewpewing right away, even though after i told them to give me 5 secs to build up aggro first..
 
@Jin Which dungeon?
 
Jin
and I had this dragoon complaining to me that i turned the boss around too much.. and i told him "uggghh I don't wanna tank inside of this fire ring..."
@Frank wonderer's palace
 
4:09 PM
@Jin I've yelled at a tank for not being able to keep aggro on a single mob, even after giving him time to build up aggro.
@Jin That's the Tonberry one, right?
 
Jin
@Frank yeah. 2nd boss. he spawns a bunch of adds. it was my fault not spamming aoe taunt fast enough
but i told the group that i was new to the fight, they were pretty nice to me after that. i even got a commendation
 
@Jin Oh yeah, that's another stupid thing. I was tanking this one boss who drops poison clouds every 15 seconds.
DPS kept complaining that I was moving the boss and they couldn't stay on him.
 
@Jin Oh, those extra slimes. I just burn them down.
 
"Well, sure, I can tank him in this poison cloud if you want to wipe within 30s."
 
@Jin Ironically, that's the same dungeon where I yelled at my tank.
 
Jin
4:11 PM
@Frank hmmmmm
I got 2 pieces of darklight now! not too bad considering i picked up this game 2 weeks ago
 
@Jin I shit you not, the guy's at 50, and couldn't hold aggro from me applying just my dots.
Wasn't even attacking beyond that.

DA BRIDGE
 
Nono, this is The Bridge. DA BRIDGE is another room entirely.
 
My bad, sorry. I'll go try to find the right room.
 
4:16 PM
@Unionhawk I was wondering where that came from and then I realized that someone on my ignore list was in the room.
 
@Yuki Heh.
 
Simon... that name sounds familiar... Oh yeah, that was the guy with the thing and @kalina.
 
I had them both ignored because it was getting annoying.
 
Jin
I need moar gils
 
4:20 PM
Reverted @kalina when it was over, but that Simon hasn't come back since so I never took him off.
 
@Jin gifs?
 
Jin
@fredley GIL
 
@Jin GIF?
 
@Jin How much do you have?
 
Jin
4:21 PM
@Frank i spent 120k on a ilvl70 sword 'n shield. now i'm down to 25k
i can't even afford to buy the sword+materia for that relic quest
 
@Jin Yowch.
 
Jin
"Gil (ギル, Giru?), also translated as GP, Gold, and G, is the currency in all of the Final Fantasy games. According to Final Fantasy IV, the gil is named after the Gilbart family of Damcyan"
 
@Jin Yeah, my relic weapon cost me ~40K.
 
Can't believe they ever bothered shipping the "basic" bundle
 
Jin
@Frank I just dinged 50 2 days ago. so far i'm enjoying the end game dungeons. they're a lot more casual than WoW's, which I like
I can't raid hardcore anymore
 
4:23 PM
help me complete my alphabet of tabs :D
 
@Jin Even the raids aren't that hardcore.
 
Jin
@Frank the primal Ex mode looks a bit challenging. and the T5 stuff
 
@NickT xf is not a letter
 
neither is dj, but best I've found
 
@NickT i
 
4:25 PM
@NickT M
 
@Jin The extreme trials and Coil are hardcore, yeah. But I've managed to get up to iLvl 90 stuff without doing any of that.
 
@NickT msdn.microsoft.com for M, out of my open tabs.
 
@fredley cheating :P

@agent86 shows you how much time I spend on that site

@NickT a better D
 
@fredley Better than "xf".

@Unionhawk Aghk.
 
4:30 PM
 
J, P, R, U, V
 
@NickT P
 
@agent86 Dammit, inb4'd because I wanted to add more text.
 
@Unionhawk I am laughing way too hard at this. It's so subtle!
 
@Yuki this is a common problem people have with me.
(not generally because they want to add more text, though. I tend to not have problems with lots of text)
 
4:31 PM
@NickT Dammit virgin
 
vanguard.com works for V
 
@NickT U
 
just need R

@Fluttershy @Unionhawk He had tears in his eyes from laughing so hard, it was ridiculous.
 
@NickT R
 
(jeux.com works as well if you like that better)
 
they used to be buy.com. no idea why "rakuten" was a better choice in domain names. I'm guessing something not-smart happened there.
 
@agent86 Ugh, just opened up the Radisson website.

Now to find all bigrams!
 
And for the hardcore mode, all the Hangul (Korean) characters.

@NickT And now for Reddit karma.
 
4:37 PM
@FAE Don't judge me!
 
@Fluttershy Too late.
 
Funny, the only digrams I found quickly involve non-letters: /. obviously and F! (the latter being a porn site, I won't link it here).
 
@MartinSojka xf
 
Oh wow, they evolved Croconaw into Feraligatr already?
That was fast, considering how long it took to evolve Totodile.
 
@Fluttershy It's so subtle, it's totally over my head.
 
4:39 PM
@fredley No idea what would use that.
 
@Frank Pay close attention to the guy in blue. >_>
 
@Fluttershy facedesk
 
@fredley You haven't provided a flappy bird update in a while.
 
@fredley TIL there are 9 places to pee in the entire world.
2
And Asia is entirely out of luck.
 
4:42 PM
@Wipqozn The internet hasn't produced any flappy bird updates in a while
 
What...happened to @OrigamiRobot's Arqade account?
9
 
@Frank He deleted it.
 
@Wipqozn I see that. I'm wondering why and/or how.
 
He stopped using the main site a month or two ago now.
 
@fredley Is that for like, secluded alleys to use when doing a pub crawl?
 
4:45 PM
@Frank I'll let him answer that, but the tl;dr is he hates us.
 
@NickT I think that's the idea
 
@Wipqozn Oh, ok. I am alright with that.
 
They could quite easily prepopulate by placing all McDonalds restaurants as a starting point
 
how glorious it would be
 
@NickT Needing to pee without a known toilet nearby is a terrible, terrible thing
Has @Yuki seen this yet?
 
4:48 PM
@fredley Yeah, that was pretty amazing.
 
@fredley needing to #2 while on the CTA is a terrifying, terrifying thing
 
@Frank the reason
 
Oh god, they're in Ecruteak. This is hilarious.

Q: When will I get attacked in Clash of Clans

OrwellHindenbergI just started playing clash of clans. Aside from the first attack by goblins in the tutorial I haven't been attacked. When do I need to worry about my defenses? Right now I'm content to just farm away and build up. If I never use the attack function will I also never get attacked?

 
@Frank My site activity had pretty much devolved to closing/deleting and arguing with people all day. It was becoming a strain. I actually stopped participating altogether back in December.
 
4:56 PM
@OrigamiRobot Yeah, I can see that.
At least you're still part of Saturday morning hunts!
 
On top of that, I'm not too keen on how things have been going on the site and recent matters have only made that feeling worse.
At some point I stopped seeing myself in a voice of reason sort of way and more as a wrench in the machine, so I backed out.
@Frank As for the how, I simply used the contact us form.
 
5:11 PM
@OrigamiRobot As long as you don't have plans to evacuate the Bridge. That'd be sad. :(
 
@TimStone Chat has a handy ignore feature so that will not be necessary.
 
Whew!
 
Brain do messy things, yo.
 
@Frank It's how they work! ...just like computers. Not as perfect as they seem once you get under the hoof
 
Jin
@Frank I'll punish my brain with beer later
for messin with me
 
5:20 PM
@Jin It's neat how the brain puts things together based on available information.
 
@BenBrocka YOU. DON'T. EVEN. KNOW. MAN.
 
@BenBrocka I'm not sure I want to play a game that can inadvertently perform a sex change.

Anyone else getting a bunch of new stuff in their Steam library? O_o

It seems like they just went ahead and threw all of the F2P stuff in my library, even though I've never installed them before.

And here's an album of stuff being thrown at someone's head. Apparently, it's a photography project.

@Yuki Ow.
 
@NickT You put T and S in the wrong order.
 
@Yuki hey that's quite a value for $10

@BenBrocka Sure, but I'm not at a point in my life where I think I require a sex change.

@GnomeSlice This intrigues me mostly for Danny Baranowsky.
 
@GnomeSlice Receiver is 66% off. The video intrigues me. Is it work a buck and a half, would you say?
 
@Unionhawk It's a neat idea, but I found it pretty unplayable.
From what I read the lighting is extremely inefficient
 
@GnomeSlice Yessssss. :3
 
That's what it looks like
 
Even on minimum settings at 800x600 on my pretty decent PC it drops frames constantly
I gave up trying to play it because ever second or so it stops and I get shot
 
5:55 PM
Apparently Steam now sticks random free to play games to your library even if you have never played them..
 
Wait, what? huvrtech.com
Does anyone believe this?
 
I think I'll give that a miss then.
 
@3ventic Hrm, so they are. That's...obnoxious.
 
@Unionhawk You can apparently download the source code and recompile it in Unity without dynamic lighting, but the source file is like 800 mb
 
I didn't notice until a friend pointed it out
I have so many games put in random categories and those categories are on top
 
5:56 PM
Pretty disappointing though

@Unionhawk apparently football manager can get featured for anything

My chat is lagging like crap, see ya
 
@3ventic It's been doing that with the free for a weekend things for a while if that's what you mean
 
@Wipqozn Wait, what?
 
@BenBrocka No no, stuff like Blacklight: Retribution and Age of Conan appeared out of nowhere
 
@3ventic Oh...that's...nasty actually
