I love how I basically tell one of my... well, friends seems a bit strongly worded... former co-workers that I'm not interested in Google+, so he sends me an invite to it.
I swear, I just don't understand people sometimes.

Q: Hex Defense: is it possible to clear the levels in "hard" mode?

MarkHuIt didn't take me too long to clear the first three levels in easy mode. But I've been trying for days to play in hard mode and can not get past even the first level, "Pinball." The highest I can make is 17 waves.

Q: Looking for an old PC strategy game, with world hanging in the air/clouds

user11275The game was mainly played in LAN and was a real time strategy game for many players, 8 or above, not sure. The entire world hangs in mid air, in the clouds, and you were able to build new paths to traverse to new points in the given map. The ground is made up of stone with grass on it, with the ...

Q: Are there any good retro Beat 'em ups on Steam (excluding sega genesis ports)?

Chris LLooking for a good beat 'em up game on steam, something new. After I saw Jamestown (a shoot 'em up game on steam from an indie dev) I started looking for something similar in this genre.

Q: Minecraft Vanilla vs Bukkit Server Performance and Stability

OakOfficially: [a submarine] is invisible to most units - except for destroyers and other Submarines - until it attacks. However, I've noticed that other naval units can see non-attacking submarines if they are adjacent to them, even if said units are just embarked workers. I also noticed I ca...

Q: What affects your "pass grade" in Crayon Physics Deluxe?

badpAfter solving the first few levels in Crayon Physics my "world map" looks like this: It appears I earned two flags on the first level, one flag on the following two, no flag for the third, then I earned two flags and... a ball. Is that just cosmetic, or does it depend on how well I did? If so...

No, the Engie isn't going to get game-changing updates any time soon.

So you just installed TF2, and you started playing, and you like it! However, your one page of loadout goodness is barely enough to keep up with your first few weeks of drops. You have to prioritize. You’ll have to discard some items to make room for others. Certainly you’ll want to try each item [...]

 
@ArdaXi I don't see stuff like the wrangler coming from the community
or level 3 teleporters/dispensers

Hai.
 
Yo badp. How's it going man?
 
Just published two blog posts in a row, maaan.
 
WOOOAH
I did not get a chance to edit these blog posts maaaaaaaaaaaan
 
Both about the videogame you like the most, maaaaan.

Fallen and Thomas volounteered so it's cool.
 
oh cool

DMA57361My daughter is currently playing through Super Paper Mario on the Wii and has reached Chapter 2-2, the one where you "break" the vase and are put to slave labour to earn a million Rubees... unless you're smart enough to escape. Problem is for the life of me I can't remember how to get the codes ...

 
I don't know them! D:
heh
 
@Mana You don't think you're awesome? Well then.
 
heheheheh
you cheeky bastard
punches in the side
 
@Mana Thank you. I try.

I've only played V^6, so I'd go with that.

Oh notch donated $4000
 
and then 48 by accedent
 
Notch is such a chill guy.
 
@RonanForman Yeah I thought that was odd.
@Mana Apparently so.
 
it said it didn't work so he tried again but both had worked
 
So did you wind up giving up on Dwarf Fortress @RonanForman?
 
12:56 PM
i tried to try but its hard
 
"Dwarf Fortress -- it's hard"
 
That sums the game up pretty good.
 
i hate games with a tag line of "it's hard"
 
Actually it's real tag line is "losing is fun!"

1:03 PM
@StackExchange Uhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
@Wipqozn I'd be guessing active users.
 
Yeah I flagged it as "Too localized"
 
Someone tell them not to migrate that to us.
 
@Mana Yeah that's what I thought, but was uncertain. Plus I'm too lazy to test it out myself.
@StackExchange Actually when his link expires the question will be just be a waste of space, since no one will know what the specs for his rig were to begin with.
 
1:52 PM
 
vvvvv was fun, next and yet it moves
 
2:12 PM
@badp All they need to do is make guns with modified attributes just like they do for every other class and don't touch the Engy's buildings.
 
@Powerlord Again, nothing game-changing.
 
Hell, give the Engineer the Heavy's Family Business shotgun.
Less damage, but more shots per clip
If it wasn't broken to add it to the Heavy, it's not broken to add it to the Engineer as well.
 
@Powerlord I must disagree with you on that one. If it's not broken on one class, that doesn't mean it's not broken on another.
 
@Wipqozn I can see why you'd say things like that for the Katana (because the Demoman has the charging shields and the Soldier doesn't), but seriously... it's a shotgun.
 
@Powerlord But if it makes the engineer a threat without needing to build sentries, then he could be overpowered with sentries.
I'm not saying I disagree with your conclusion, just with your premise. I can't recall the stats of the family business, so I can't really say one way or the other how powerful it is (which is amusing, since I've found 4 of them).
 
2:25 PM
@Wipqozn You get 8 shots with it before reloading, but every shot does 15% less damage.
 
@Powerlord Yeah that sounds like it would be balanced. However I'm assuming the problem is less about will it work with this class, and more of does it make sense with this class.
If they are going to add new engineer weapons, just a generic shotgun would seem like a cop-out.
 
@Wipqozn Right, but as Robin said before, everything else has repercussions.
We can already see where they fucked up with the Wrangler.
 
A weapon which is more engineer specific would be better in my opinion.
 
(i.e. rocket-jumping Engineer)
 
@Powerlord I'm sorry, but there is nothing wrong with engineers placing sentries at unreachable locations that cover the entire map. Oh, wait...
(lol et cetera)
 
2:29 PM
Even just a sidegrade to the sentry gun 3
 
The Family Business seems like it wouldn't be game breaking if the engineer had it, although something which is more engineer themed would be much better.
 
No rockets but, what do I know, it regenerates health
 
@badp That would be cool.
 
something compelling to end sentry jumping
(regenerating health is pretty meh actually)
hell even LAZERS, except now it has been established lazers do knockback to the owner
thanks so much Dr Doodledo
 
mini-healing stations would be cool too. Similar to the mini-sentry. They would replace the dispensers, and all they do is heal, but you can get them out really fast.
 
2:32 PM
eh... not sure about that
 
Or maybe they do instant healing, and recharge.
 
@Wipqozn Making dispensers useless for metal? Good luck getting Engys to use them.
 
@Powerlord Never thought about that :/ but it would be more for when you're playing on the offense, similar to the mini-sentry.
It was just a thought though.
I would just prefer a building as opposed to a weapon (well, a weapon that gives the ability, akin to the gun slinger)
Engineer isn't about running around shooting people, so why add a weapon in which that's the only purpose it would serve?
 
They looked at ideas for dispensers but unless the gave metal and health they were useless
 
@Wipqozn Great. That's exactly why Valve hasn't added any new Engy items, because people want new buildings.
And new buildings are a careful balancing act.
 
2:36 PM
@Powerlord True enough.
 
Valve already rejected two, as I recall: The Amplifier and the Repair Node.
 
@Powerlord This. People just don't seem to understand that.
 
Or maybe the Amplifier was a community-made one... either way, they didn't want to replace the Dispenser or Teleporters.
 
I'm not sure about everyone else, but my annoyance wasn't so much that the engineer didn't get any weapons form the uber update, but that it didn't get anything. Not even a new hat.
 
@Wipqozn To be fair, the Engy got a lot of hats and Miscs of late.
 
2:38 PM
@Powerlord Ah true.
 
I mean, he went from 0 Miscs to 3 in what, two months?
Teddy Roosebelt, the eye thing, and the spurs.
Well, probably more like 5 months.
 
Either way, that actually was my only annoyance at the uber in terms of the engineer. I understood the lack of items (like you said, buildings are hard). BUt adding a hat would have been a way of giving engineers something. By adding nothing it can give the impression that valve didn't care about engineers.
 
@badp Hee hee, you're playing Crayon Physics Deluxe! That's adorable.
 
Here, The Cheat, have a trophy!
 
oh my god Homestar Runner
 
2:41 PM
Either way, so long as valve delivers in the end I'll be satisfied.
Well, I'd prefer it if they came through before the end... but you get the idea.
 
@Wipqozn This could be taken so wrong.
 
@Powerlord Wrong is just the way I like it baby
Also, hungry. Good get.
 
@Wipqozn Good Food?

Anytime you find yourself answering the same question over and over and over and over … blog post time.

This is that blog post.

This cycle has repeated itself on more sites than I can remember — When a new community approaches the end of their beta period, users start looking forward to graduation. So when that 90th day looms, anticipation starts to turn into speculation about whether the site is going to survive.

Does this site have a chance of succeeding? Is this site viable? Visits per day — should we be worried? At what point will this site grow out of the beta stage? What are the criteria for getting site out of “perpetual beta?” Site Not On Track to Survive Public Beta What happens now? …

恵美の女猫I have graphical glitches when I play Street Fighter IV on PC. Sometimes when I play, the 3D models are like leaking to or from nowhere. An image is worth a thousand words, isn't it. Please visit that IS gallery. I'm wondering why this happens. Look under Sakura's skirt, on Chun Li's cheek or...

Oh goodness, I have over 10k global reputation.
I feel so powerful now.
 
@Mana Suuure you do.
You're not in the big leagues yet!
 
I feel like a @powerlord. ♪
 
3:07 PM
@Mana I have way more than 10k
I have way more than 10k just on one site.
 
Oh.
...Oh.
♪......
 
Of course, if you keep interrupting me, it'll never print on the left side. :P
That's your goal, isn't it?!
I should just link to something on Wikipedia.
 
Duh.
 
That would make it show instantly.
 
@Powerlord heh, abusing the system
 
3:09 PM
Wow, someone else updated the TF2 version on Wikipedia for the first time in... years.
| genre = First-person shooter | modes = Multiplayer | ratings = | platforms = Microsoft WindowsXbox 360PlayStation 3Mac OS X | requirements = → See Development section for requirements | media = Optical disc, Digital download | version = 1.1.6.7 () }} Team Fortress 2 (abbreviated as TF2) is a free-to-play team-based first-person shooter multiplayer video game developed by Valve Corporation.

Usually, I'm the only one who updates it
 
@Powerlord That doesn't look like TF2, somehow.
 
Hmm, I wonder if Melissa will show up on time today.
 
@Mana It's an early development screenshot.
They changed the graphics quite a bit in the final, as you may have noticed.
 
Where does SE choose its picture from? That's like the third image on the page.
The first being the TF2 box cover.
Oh yeah, I've been meaning for a while now to take a screenshot of some in-game footage to replace the one currently on Wikipedia.
 
I remember seeing that image in pcgamer
also remember a level where the opposite team was supposed to parachute in
 
3:20 PM
@Loktar Yes, and that picture is what the game looked like. Nearly four years ago.
Needless to say, the game looks different from that now. I mean, even the Medic HUD doesn't look like that any more.
 
4 years ago?
ooh nm a diff image.
 
@Loktar Yeah, I was referring to this one:
Old screenshot is old.
 
3:34 PM
I must say
I can already feel myself getting addicted to dwarf fortress
inb4 I wind up dead in a ditch somewhere due to not eating due to being too busy playing dwarf fortress
@Powerlord I greatly prefer the cartoon graphics. Not to mention the graphics are different then every other shooter out there.
 
@Wipqozn Duh, there's more hats

Well that's annoying.

@Wipqozn At work?
 
@Powerlord Oh, lunch plans. Got it.
I'd offer to grab a bite with you, but I already ate lunch.
You know, that and we live in different countries.

sigh
I love being able to be prepared for the enemy point capture and already have a sentry 3, a dispenser 3 and a teleporter 3 fully operational on the next point
when I do that, however, one of two things typically happen:
- I actually don't make it in time (I'm at the next spawn point, typically) and things get blown while I'm not looking
- I make it in time, but everything gets blown up fast anyway because you're alone on your toys
- I make it in time, but the enemy never captures the previous point
I'm a sad panda.
(Also the 2nd point is really really hard to sentry up for defense, and no amount of 200 ammo boxes can change that, Valve.)
Those ammo boxes are almost like a taunt. "Yeah, have all the metal in the world you may ever need. As if they're going to do anything good for you at all."

Posted by Alex Miller on July 27th, 2011

Jeff & Joel are joined this week by Jin Yang – our resident web/graphic designer here at Stack (the distinction between the two becomes a discussion point).  Once we get the proper picture of Jin in the chatroom, he relates everything from his background in design to how he ended up at Stack Exchange and our philosophy behind design.

Full topics this week include:

Jin refers to himself as a “web designer” as opposed to a “graphic designer” because of the type of work he focuses on. …

 
But anyway, the weird thing about these new "employees" is that they're almost complete unknowns.
 
@Powerlord still wanting that job?
 
@RonanForman Well, no... I was more implying that they're potentially bots rather than real people.
I mean, Brett White has 0 questions, 4 answers, and less than 200 rep network-wide.
 
maybe he was employed for other reasons, outside of SE
 
7:10 PM
@RonanForman By StackExchange corp? For what? They literally have "one" product: The StackExchange network.
 
what's his job?
 
@RonanForman We don't know.
 
For the next couple of days, he'll go through the top 1,000 questions and improve their titles.
When he's done, he'll lose his powers on the site.
 
maybe he said "Why are all the titles bad? Someone should do something about it!"
 
Lauren is another complete unknown doing the same thing. With almost an identical post to Brett's on English.
 
7:13 PM
and then SE said "They should, why don't you?"
 
Yes, @Powerlord, there's a bunch of those.
(link courtesy of @michaelmrozek btw)
 
@badp Which does nothing to dissuade me from my opinion that these are either 1) Bots. 2) Fake accounts to cover who is actually making the changes (Hi @JeffAtwood!)
While Brett at least had some history, Lauren's account was created explicitly for this editing job.
 
@Powerlord Damn, you busted me!
 
Bleah, I really need to sort through the variables in this C++ class and figure if I really need twelve bajillion bools to track this vote's state.
bool m_bCancelling;
bool m_bDeleting;
bool m_bShouldDelete;
bool m_bWillFreeHandle;
I particularly love that there are two bools dealing with deletes.
Bleah, I may have to make a circular dependency to get access to a variable I need from another file.
Thanks goodness for include guards.

@Powerlord Both are practically the same thing.
Unless they're pseudonyms I guess.
 
Wait, Brett White is getting rep for making title changes? What's this, I don't even.
 
So far I'm liking the Humble Bundle. Crashing Physics Deluxe, And Yet It Freezes

@FallenAngelEyes Depends on th Yes, definitely too young for that.
 
@ArdaXi You should try them both. AT THE SAME TIME!
Trust me, it's totally safe.

@Wipqozn Note the in my country.
 
@ArdaXi Crazy Netherlands, and your hover cars and viking bikes.
 
Plus my age isn't the limiting factor for G+.
 
They lack support for mermaids?
An inexcusable oversight.
 
@badp Well, there is that. They also lack support for apps.
 
@ArdaXi That's coming soon though, isn't it?

@FallenAngelEyes 13-18 support will come sooner.
 
Sleeeee... er... I mean Hoooooooommmmmmeeeeeee.

@Brant Are those changes the bot (or Jeff Atwood) made?

No, that's an illustration of a "bad question titles" problem.
Which is something I've been paying attention to and working on lately, sort of. But now the community outreach team is officially on the case.
It's @YiJiang's pic from this meta post
 
I hate it so much when I get random packet loss
it's like I have this sniper under my crosshair
11 health
cornered
I pull out my big earner
and I glitch for 5 seconds
bam I'm dead.
 
My internet was glitching up really bad earlier, so I had to stop playing team fortress :( was trying to heal... my patients kept skipping.
Oddly enough it made healing really difficult.
It seems to be doing better now, so I dare say I should play a bit of TF2 before playing Dwarf Fortress all night.
@powerlord TF2 is updating. Informing you since I know some of your servers do not auto update.
Or my internet is not fixed? IS anyone else having problems with the item server of TF2?
 
9:49 PM
@Brant The problem is, how can I title it correctly if I don't know what piece is messing up?
 
@badp Point out what is messing up.

Q: what does unit production mean in the post game stats after playing dota?

GajetI know the main ranking list is the one shown when the game ends, but it's bothering me why some heroes almost always have the most unit production value? what does it represent since no one can really create units in dota?

@StackExchange ...does your gender really matter in your pc building choice? Really?
 
@FallenAngelEyes You can hardly recommend a pink laptop with a big heart on top for a guy.
 
@ArdaXi Pffft, lies I say.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Go and find a guy who'd pay for a pink laptop with a heart on it.
 
@ArdaXi I know a few

I have lots of friends who are secure enough in themselves and/or gender fluid enough to not have an issue with that.
 
There's a difference between not having an issue with it and actually wanting it.
I wouldn't mind either, but I'd prefer something that looks better to me.
 
Either way, not exactly a necessary qualifier in asking for pc specs
 
True.
Then again, it might get faster/better responses.
Seeing as a majority of the users of SU will probably be male.
 
One of the games she wants to play isn't even in beta yet nor have they released any specs for it yet. o_O Dunno how you'd really build for that scenario.
 
You can make an educated guess.
