Q: Which objects give me elemental gems when I hit them?

ManaSo far, I've noticed in Chantelise that when I swipe at grass, I occasionally get a green elemental gem, and when I hit a tree, a yellow elemental gem drops out. What are all the objects like these that yield elemental gems when I attack them?

Q: Please help me identify this game

Mathias Lykkegaard LorenzenWhen I was about 13 or so (I'm 20 now), I played a game that reminded a whole lot about Diablo II in terms of gameplay style, and the view-perspective.

Q: Why make cheese if milk is already food?

AaronLSIn Dwarf Fortress, milk is already a food item, and if I am not mistaken, you get one cheese for every one milk. So would the only benefit of cheese be that it is just one more ingredient for making meals? Do dwarves, even without a preference for cheese, generally like cheese better or get mor...

Q: Why do I need to delete the META-INF folder when installing mods?

WipqoznIn Minecraft, nearly every tutorial on how to install a MOD tells you to remove the META-INF folder. However none of the ones I found tell you what it is. I don't like the idea of deleting a folder without knowing what it is or what it does. So what is the META-INF folder, and why should I delet...

 
Good morning.
 
12:33 PM
good morning chap
 
How it do?
 
Awesome, per my usual routine.
Yourself?
 
Yeah, pretty well. Head hurting a bit, just got up.
 
Flegh
So the music festival I went to, the bands I got to see were great
but at the end of the night, at the last concert, someone stole my camera from my pocket
 
G'mornin, @Mana, @Fallen
 
12:38 PM
my camera had my coatcheck # in it
went to coatcheck, my stuff was gone
so whomever stole my camera also went to coatcheck and took my stuff
 
Oh shit. :/
 
camera lost, purse with residency card and bank card, mobile phone, prescription sunglasses, all the band merch I'd purchased
I broke down and started crying at the coatcheck
 
Oh... oh my...
 
And I had no way to call my b/f who was picking me up so they let me use a phone
 
Geez...sorry, that really sucks.
 
12:40 PM
also my Dresden Files book that I'd just started yesterday
and aside from the camera, nothing else was really worth anything
 
but I guess you don't need to be told that :(
 
to anyone else I mean
it was worth something to me though
I'd gotten pictures with and autographs from one of the bands I really like
 
That's what usually hurts the most to have stolen
 
they were supercool and everything and all that is gone
I'm just so upset
they said we could call back today to see if it was found, we did but they said it was so hectic they've had no time to properly look and to try again tomorrow
 
What band is it?
 
12:42 PM
I dunno if you'd know them, Angelspit, a kind of uh, cyberpunk-industrial band
I also got to see VNV Nation last night, which is when my camera was stolen
 
I don't, but they have a really interesting website
oh man, VNV Nation is HILARIOUS
 
and you have to be a serious douche to steal someone's stuff during a VNV Nation concert
 
@FallenAngelEyes Sounds like the kind of stuff that'd be interesting for me to sample.
 
yeah, really.
 
@GraceNote I enjoy them a lot, but I can see how they'd not be for everyone
but yeah, VNV Nation was amazing and they're like, a really positive-message type band
 
12:44 PM
So is how it is for all musics, as it were.
 
so stealing someone's stuff during it just feels even more jerkish
 
That it does...
 
Truths!
It's just so frustrating. I've been having a rough couple weeks and I was like, "Y'know what, I'm just going to go to this festival and have fun and chill out and enjoy myself"
Then this happens and I'm like "I'm never leaving the house again, agh"
 
Sounds like me when our house was broken into, haha.
 
so tomorrow we'll call back and if nothing's found then still, report to authorities I guess, not like they can do much
 
12:48 PM
@FallenAngelEyes At the very least, it leaves the option that someone might find the thief. It's of little comfort at that point, but nevertheless...
 
@GraceNote nods I just feel so dumb
 
@FallenAngelEyes Ain't your fault someone stole from you.
 
I should've kept my hand in the camera-strap but I was all like, jumping up and down and stuff
 
Does your phone have GPS?
 
@Wipqozn It has an old version of Tom-Tom
The phone's like, 6 years old, I can't imagine anyone would really want to keep it. It's an old windows mobile.
What sucks is it's not my normal phone, my normal one is even older than that. Would've preferred they had that one.
It's got 2 colors to its screen, orange and black. :P
 
12:50 PM
MY thought was you may have been able to find the phone if they used the GPS.
And in turn the people who stole it.
 
@Wipqozn The GPS is passive though, it receives but doesn't transmit.
 
My thought would have been that it must ask the GPS server for a map based on it's current location, but I could be incorrect.
Either way that's shitty as hell.
 
Yeah, I think I'm gonna afk and try to distract myself or do something fun to try to not dwell on this
I'm trying to zen it out and be like "It's just stuff" but I'm still upset about it
 
hey there
 
Bake a pie? pies are delicious.
 
12:56 PM
I'm terrible at optimism
I do not like pie. Blasphemous, I know.
 
Oh I don't either
 
I'm not fond of warm fruit though.
 
but that doesn't change the fact pie is awesome.
 
Also it is too sweet for me. I don't have much of a sweet tooth.
Hehe, 'tis.
Anywho, gonna afk. Thanks for letting me vent a little, guys.
 
that's what random people from all over the world are for
 
1:00 PM
I hope you find a good distraction
 
oh and hello @Mvy
Don't want you to feel like we don't love you, and ignored your greeting.

Q: Increasing character through buying xbox

GuyI really want a game console. However, my father is making me write an essay on how the xbox will make me a better person. He says I need three points, do you have any ideas? Has buying/owning/playing a game console increased your character in some way? If so, how?

 
@FallenAngelEyes - which Dresden Files book?
I just finished Ghost Story last night, and it was exhilarating.
 
@RavenDreamer White Night
@Mana holas
 
Oooh, so yeah, you're just starting the series, hm? Keep reading it. It's awesome.
 
Yeah, I started last year. I'm a really big fan of urban fantasy and of film noir type style, so it's right up my alley.
I just started the book yesterday too ><
 
3:59 PM
AARGH!
 
@GraceNote That sounds like a bad noise
 
@FallenAngelEyes Well, comparatively, nothing bad happened at all, which is in a way its own source of rage.
Elona Shooter, a sort of defense game that is based on the Roguelike Elona. Roguelike. So no continuing after dying. Especially if you die on THE LAST STAGE.
 
Oh dear, I stay away a few days and grace note changes their avatar
 
Which only happened because I got RNG hosed by them spawning HORDES OF FLYING DRAGONS
 
4:02 PM
omai
 
I'm just a rogue! How am I supposed to defend a castle against a horde of bosses that is followed by flying dragons?
 
also curses for not being here yesterday when Mana asked the what items give what gems question, I'd actually figured that out!
 
@FallenAngelEyes After I answered that one, I thought to myself, "I should've left that one open for others..."
 
^^
I've tried it today.
 
The random number god giveth and the random number god taketh away >_<
 
4:03 PM
I have difficulties to get used to the KB controls.
 
Loki is the god of RNGs
 
@badp (in no particular order)
 
@Mvy gamepad, use one, so much easier to handle the camera
 
I'll blame Eyth of Infidel
@FallenAngelEyes I never had much issue with the camera on the keyboard, but I'm notoriously capable when it comes to adapting to keyboard controls.
 
@FallenAngelEyes I bet. But mine is at my house...
I think I may want to adapt the key BTW
 
4:06 PM
@badp I figured I could do it harmlessly without anyone noticing or commenting, but far more people are noting it aloud than I expected.
 
@tim the order it's asymptotically correct i'm afraid
I can only see the 8x8 pixels version of it but I like it already
 
@badp You could click it.
 
RNG stands for Random Number God. If you don't pray to him, he will screw you over.
 
Oh, and don't spoil ♪
 
SpaceDrake (one of the founders of Carpe Fulgur) says Chantelise has sold really well
I'm glad to hear this
 
4:10 PM
It's less weaponly and more womanly </duh>
 
@FallenAngelEyes I as well
@badp Correct in quite many multiple ways
 
hence the duh.
 
@FallenAngelEyes Haha
@badp Ooh, do you recognize her? (I doubt it, but gotta ask ♪)
 
@Grace So what exactly is the deal with the fairy sister (I think Chante's that one?) and attacking people's shins?
 
4:15 PM
@Mana When you're a fairy, how else are you going to vent anger?
 
Fair point.
 
@grace sorry to disappoint, you'd have to write something really mainstream for me to recognize.
*quote
 
Yeah... she's quite the opposite by multiple orders of magnitude.
 
Heh
 
That actually looked pretty generic
 
4:19 PM
She doesn't have an impressive outfit, no, but if I had shown the full picture it'd nevertheless be a bit too easy to figure out who she is.
 
Given the context I'll autocomplete to tentacles
 
wh

Female chthulu :P (-typo)
 
oh
 
fh'tagn.
 
4:22 PM
@GraceNote I dunno, her shoes in the full picture are pretty epic.
(for footwear)
 
So I had a pretty awesome weekend in wien meeting people from the internets. Like, in face punching range. risky but rewarding, and no faces were punched
 
That's dangerously close, but nice. I should probably go outside before this weekend is over.
 
… afaik
 
@TimStone ew. You do realize there is fresh air outside, right?
 
Yeah, but there's (always) work inside. :(
 
4:26 PM
@wipqozn and direct unfiltered sunlight!
 
@badp Exactly! See, badp understands.
 
Luckily clothes help shield against that. For as awful of an idea as it is to actually wear pants
Swype I forbid you to fuck up my grammar that much! Dammit
 
@TimStone Found her already or did you recognize her?
 
@GraceNote A bit of both. Once someone mentioned the series I had a vague idea, then it was a few clicks from there to refresh my memory (so I cheated a bit, I suppose).
 
@TimStone If a few clicks were guided, that'd work enough, but if it was "Pore through and research", then you lose ♪
 
4:37 PM
Bbl flight
 
Well, I've played that game, so. :)
 
I can't blame even someone who knows the series for doing some level of memory jogging, given who it is.
@TimStone Ah, good ♪
 
@badp Be sure to flap your wings quickly

@Grace It's amusing to see you be so blunt.

I mean, kudos to the father for such an evil assignment, but... what.

Also, tag so it shows up as a wii question in the title.
Oh man, this question is beautiful. It's a work of art.

So Jin popped up and says he's not currently working on lasers for us.
 
but...they're bicycle pictures

4:47 PM
@Mana Coincidentally, guess which site Jin has been working on
 
@Mana I'm being punished by the sun going away just as I was thinking about going outside.

Q: SLI GTX 560Ti with GTX 260+

Oi, thanks @Tim!
 
Aye
 
4:54 PM
What does SLI even mean?
I'll shunt it over if it is appropriate, since it is not clear that it is Gaming.
However, is it even a good question? I'll just slam it as "Off-Topic" if it's a junk question, I don't want to migrate junk to Super User.
 
Scalable Link Interface, if I recall. NVIDIA's CrossFire, if you will.
 
Yeah, it's for running dual video cards, Nvidia-style.
 
So, a good migration?
 
I'm pretty sure they have a compatibility chart somewhere though...
(or something)
 
I'd say so. It's more hardware-oriented really. Even if he's hooking it up in order to game, gaming isn't the crux of the question, it's how to get it to work.
We don't cover that here.
 
4:56 PM
Punt'd ♪
 
Yeah, it's definitely not on-topic here, and while I'm on the fence about whether it's a good migration, I figure they can't be too unhappy with getting it.
 
Also I know nothing about SLI really, so I don't think I'm really able to judge its quality.

5:07 PM
@GraceNote Not sure how I feel about that. On one hand, I do need to applaud the father for making his son his critical thinking and also practice his writing. Plus teaching your children the ideal of bettering yourself if a noble act. However, what you do for leisure shouldn't have to better yourself. It's meant to be a time to sit back and relax, not improve your self worth.
 
@Wipqozn Totally agree, man. That was a sick paragraph you just wrote.

Impressively lazy?
 
I'll go with that.

@Mana Thank you. I was hoping you'd do that :P Funny and what not.
 
5:17 PM
@Wipqozn I like bad jokes.
 
Bad jokes are the best kind of jokes.
 
Teeheehee
 
Oh look, I finally know what @Wipqozn's avatar is from.
 
@ArdaXi Seriously? Wow. That's pretty bad.
 
@Wipqozn I've never seen them. Meaning to start.
No idea where to start though. So many series.
Someone suggested... 9th?
 
5:23 PM
11th doctor, or 11th series?
 
9th doctor.
Yours is the 11th, I know.
 
Bacon doctor
 
I love it when a plan comes together.
 
It just depends if you want to start with the new show, or the old one. If you want to start with the new one, start with the 9th doctor (start of the series). If you want to start with the old show then... not sure :/ I know a lot of the episodes were lost in some huge fire, so not even sure which episodes you could find.
 
5:24 PM
Aw, with casual week over, I have to wear dress clothes to work again starting tomorrow.
 
@Wipqozn Exactly, so I'll just start with 9th.
Now to figure out how to get to it.
Right, Sick Beard.
@Powerlord Starting tomorrow, I have to wear a ridiculous costume to work again.
 
@ArdaXi You have to wear a costume to work?
Why?
 
@Wipqozn Well, it's just a uniform.
But it looks ridiculous.
 
Ah, I thought maybe you were a clown.
 
Cute ridiculous or stupid ridiculous?
 
5:31 PM
@GraceNote Well, I suppose on some it could be cute ridiculous, but I couldn't possibly.
 
Hum
 
I could probably grab a picture from the site.
 
You should.
 
That's actually my old boss.
 
Well, that's not cute ridiculous
 
5:33 PM
Grocery store?
 
That's more... just plain burger joint uniform style
It'd be dorky if you have one of those folding hats
 
@GraceNote It looks like he should be selling candy canes.
 
@Wipqozn Yes.
@GraceNote Colleagues do.
 
@ArdaXi You should embrace every opportunity you receive to laugh at them when doing does not include self-wallowing
 
5:35 PM
Seriously. Look like a candy cane.
 
@Wipqozn I know.
 
When you see these terrible uniforms, you have to wonder who on the management totem pole actually thought it was a good idea.
 
@Wipqozn We're supposed to be seeing a re-design this year.
 
Well, you need something to identify your workers with.
Plain colors are boring, so different chains will always try to spark things up
 
Well, yes, but this particular design hasn't changed since the first store opened.
 
5:37 PM
In what? 1920?
I can see people wearing this in the 1920s.
 
1942.
 
@ArdaXi As in Battlefield 1942? Awesome.
 
As in... real-life.
 
I was going to show a picture of my old uniform, but can't find a good picture of it.
Best image I can find.
Also a grocery store. Not good, but not nearly as bad as yours.
 
@Wipqozn Gee, thanks. :P
 
5:46 PM
You're welcome.
but yeah
I would start with the 9th doctor. After you get caught up, you can watch through the old series at your leisure (and still be able to watch the new episodes).
 
Man the only enemy I have left to kill in this level is the knight and I have only 16 health left :|
