7:00 PM
@IanPugsley @RonanForman I really think "Hooray for" is a good name of a casual/unorganized series because it emphasizes that we are playing/showing the game just because we think the game neat. And you can just tack on the name of the game and you're done.
 
@OrigamiRobot I agree
 
@OrigamiRobot I don't have a problem with that, it's definitely general enough
 
@Tristan are you in Hell yet?
 
Can a mod help me with something account-related?
 
Hm?
 
7:16 PM
@GraceNote Can you tell me what email account is associated with my stackexchange account?
 
Please say it's deletion, please say it's deletion.

Q: How can I run minecraft 1.0.0 on a Mac OSX 10.6.8 in offline mode?

kpuffsNaschroe posted AppleScript code to run it, but the code needs some modifications to work and I can't seem to get it just right- being that I don't know JavaScript well, much less AppleScript. Can anyone take a look at this code and modify it so that it works? Props to Naschroe for the original...

Q: Final Fantasy 12 weapons cheats using PCSX2 emulator?

CésarI'm using PCSX2 0.9.9 to emulate Final Fantasy 12. I've being using some cheats for experience, status, drop rate and license points through a .pnach file. I was wondering if anyone knows about weapons cheats using this kind of file. Thanks in advance

Q: How do I unlock new characters in Super Crate Box?

Ashley NunnThe new update for Super Crate Box mentioned that there were now more characters to unlock. I have been playing for a while now (even before the update) and never unlocked new characters. What do I have to do to unlock new characters?

@AshleyNunn IS this for PC or for ios? Please specify.
 
7:18 PM
@RonanForman I lol'd
 
@GraceNote When I tried logging in via se rather than openid, it said there was no account associated with that email address.
 
Can you answer for both or only one? Because if you can answer for both, it's recommendable to just do so.
 
@GraceNote From what I gather, having only played the PC one, the ios one has different milestones.
 
@GnomeSlice Oh, you meant your Stack Exchange OpenID. I, um, don't know about that, that's not technically mod domain.
 
My internet is very spotty now. It was down all yesterday.
 
7:19 PM
For obvious privacy reasons, though, we should probably continue this in email, though, @GnomeSlice.
 
@GraceNote If you like. You can see my email address, I'm sure.
 
ugh, this has not been a fun week. I think I need to take a vacation.
 
soooooo how do i suggest a tag wiki?
I see "All registered users may propose new tag wikis." but there is nothing that indicates how
 
some users would like a reopen:

Q: Is there a furniture mod for SMP?

TimIs there a Minecraft mod that adds furniture to SMP I've already investigated FancyPack, and it is only for single-player.

for your consideration
 
skyrim, for instance.
in the general case, go here and find the tag, then hover over the current description and an "edit" link will pop up
hah, when I hit the page, there were 1337 skyrim questions. that's 1337.
 
7:23 PM
@OrigamiRobot Go to it's about page and hit "Propose Tag Wiki"
 
@Ullallulloo I do not have that
 
@badp In it's current state? Keep it closed.
 
I could see it being modified into a question such as "Is it possible to add furniture to minecraft?"
 
@Wipqozn that's also what I think, but feel free to express your reasoning in the comments
 
@OrigamiRobot That's meta, you can't propose there.
 
@OrigamiRobot No option on meta sites
 
hint hint wink wink
 
argh, other people are more right than I
 
@GraceNote That'll do it
 
7:25 PM
fail.
 
not even moderators can edit tag wikis on meta
@OrigamiRobot the idea is all tags will fall down from MSO
 
...pfft, League of Legends now has a news post of "Help us stop SOPA"
 
@badp :O surely @GraceNote can. I have it on good authority she can do everything
 
I hate that someone asked a question about SCB that I can't answer readily.
 
@badp that seems....strange?
 
7:26 PM
although that does raise the question, what about site-specific stuff such as hatdash
 
@badp Go raise questions about hats on M.SO
 
@badp burnination is the only option for any tags we make :P
2
 
@agent86 On the one hand, I can do some witchcraft for it, but on the other hand, I thought I dispelled that rumor.
 
@agent86 I thought that was just for my tags.
 
@GraceNote by confirming that you have witchcraft that can impact this problem, you have done more to confirm this rumor than dispel it.
 
7:27 PM
@GnomeSlice the fire is spreading
 
@badp Mission accomplished.
 
now we just need to turn @GnomeSlice in a tag.
 
I am totally full of fail today. I should just go home and sleep.

Q: Is there a way to add furniture to Minecraft SMP?

TimI've already investigated the mod FancyPack, and it is only for single-player. Is there any way to add furniture to Minecraft SMP?

 
@GnomeSlice Did you get an email?
 
@Wipqozn now to suggest pistons, stairs with signs and whatnot!!!
 
@GraceNote Would you like a reply to confirm?
 
Did you read the email?
 
@GraceNote Yes, but I wasn't sure if this counted as a reply.
 
I'd like a reply via email, yes.
 
7:32 PM
Sent.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Done. Didn't realize there was a non-ios version.
 
@AshleyNunn ಠ_ಠ
I've been WAITING for the ios release of the game.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Oh. Well then.
 
The PC one is also free.
 
user15026
7:42 PM
@GnomeSlice I wish I had known that before I bought the ios version
 
are there more levels in the ios version?
it seems like there's only 3 in the pc version
 
@agent86 There are, with three game modes each.
@AshleyNunn I know you unlock characters in the PC game by getting crate milestones, as well as getting certain highscores on each level in the standard game mode, and the second game mode.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice second game mode?
 
Also, there's a game for ios called 'Muffin Knight', that's basically an outright rip off of Super Crate Box, which you may prefer. It has more stages, characters/weapons, more modern graphics, etc. But it's a rip off.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Yeah, I saw it. I played it for a while, and actually liked it better, but figured I should at least try the actual non-ripoff game
 
7:45 PM
@AshleyNunn There's 'standard', another one with some acronym as a name, which is simliar but with many more enemies, and another one where enemies spawn randomly around the stage.
@AshleyNunn I won $15 in a muffin knight contest.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Hm. I wonder if I can select the modes somewhere in the ios version. the UI of the game is quite confusing for me.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Awesome :)
 
@AshleyNunn I think you have to unlock the other modes.
 
@GnomeSlice Less Safe For Work
 
7:46 PM
Download it and check it out, might help you.
@OrigamiRobot I guess that's the joke then. They're expecting you to curse at it.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Oh, I figured out the gamemodes for ios. They're all locked though, and I have no idea how to get them, of course. >.<
 
@AshleyNunn In the PC one, getting a certain score in standard unlocks LSFW on the same stage, and getting a certain score in LSFW unlocks the stealth one.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Score = number of crates you collect, right?
 
@AshleyNunn Yes.
 
user15026
Which means I will never unlock anything. i am lucky to get more than 2 on a playthrough. my record is 8.
 
7:48 PM
@AshleyNunn .....wat
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice I find it incredibly hard.

@GraceNote "Forgotten your account's password? Enter your email address and we'll send you a recovery link."
 
@GnomeSlice Did you do this on the site or on Gaming?
 
7:52 PM
@GraceNote Gaming, but I did use the link for for the SE openid provider.
 
@OrigamiRobot If @John is still on Terraria when(if) you get on, let him know that I couldn't handle the freezing, and am going to pick up a new laptop, so I'll be back on in a few hours. lol
 
@Tristan I wont be on for a while
 
@OrigamiRobot k Well... Hopefully he'll see that I pinged him then. =P
 
@GnomeSlice I see
 
@Tristan I dont get off work for another 3 hours and then I'm off to the comic shop!
 
7:55 PM
@OrigamiRobot If you haven't read Hack/Slash, I recommend it. It's a good one.
 
@GraceNote None of the three email addresses I've ever used register as having an associated account...
 
Here's a question... Will my character carry over to the new computer? D=
 
@Tristan @IanPugsley has that. I read a couple issues and stopped for no reason other than "I forgot"
 
@GnomeSlice Well... you could just delete the credential - a throw away email on a credential makes it a throw away credential
 
@GraceNote I've never had a throwaway email...
 
7:56 PM
@Tristan It is stored locally
 
Is there any way to see what account IS associated in my logins?
 
Then you haven't tried the right email yet, then.
 
@OrigamiRobot Meaning, I'll have to physically move the file via a thumb drive or something?
 
@GnomeSlice The devs can, I can't.
 
@Tristan Yes. C:\Users\[NAME]\Documents\My Games\Terraria\Players
 
7:58 PM
@OrigamiRobot Thanks. Alright, I'll be back later. See ya guys.
 
For Win7 ofc
 
@OrigamiRobot and Vista, gosh

Q: Is it safe to reset a quest?

Evgeni B.Is it possible/safe to reset a quest? Im looking to reset the quest "Hail Sithis". Ive already completed that and fully equipped the Dawnstar Sanctuary with the money earned. Can I reset that quest and kill the contractor as well without things glitching out? Or would that cause too much trouble...

Q: Why do I need the season ticket for loading a career mode save state?

Matthias KüchI've experienced this no for the third time since I bought the game: Every time I want to continue any career mode game this screen appears. It's in german, but it's telling that my career mode save contains leagues to which I've no access anymore. They suggest that I have to buy the season ti...

 
I'll take that as a no.
 
8:19 PM
@GraceNote I'm afraid I don't understand your last email...
Why would I do what?
 
@GnomeSlice It was a hint.
 
@RonanForman Maybe he just doesn't like you.
 
@GraceNote ...That was used for a sockpuppet...
 
Well, that's how it goes.
 
@Wipqozn Maybe. But what are the chances of that.
 
8:22 PM
@GraceNote Why is that now associated with my main account? Can I fix it?
 
@GnomeSlice There's an X on the right side of your logins that you can use to remove the login.

Q: How much am I supposed to tilt the controller?

animusonThis question comes in relation to a couple trophies I am completely stuck on in Heavy Rain: Kamikaze The Bear - Take the best route on the highway I'm not Scared! Twins - Follow your brother without making any mistakes These would both be generally easy except for the fact they both involve ...

A: Can I transfer my Terraria character from one PC to another?

lunboksYou can. Your characters are stored in Documents\My Games\Terraria\Players. To copy a character, you only need the .plr file. They're consecutively numbered in the order they're displayed on the character selection screen.

 
8:37 PM
Tim Tebow has started to call 3rd downs "Muslims" because of how much trouble he has converting them.
...additionally, Tebow now calls 4th downs "Jews" as they are the trickiest to convert.
 
@GnomeSlice Squid Fish Machine Time?
 
@badp Close, but it's MT, not TM.
 
@GnomeSlice That's why I'm asking.
 
@badp You can see for yourself in the screenshot, it's SFMT.
Sorry to burst your bubble.
 
@GnomeSlice (The actual game is "Fish Squid Time Machine", badp rearranged the words to fit the screenshot's acronym)
 
8:44 PM
@GraceNote I hadn't even noticed he'd rearranged it. He only knows about the game because of me, anyway.
 
When you're done feeding your ego - I am just asking what does "SFMT" mean
 
@badp I have no idea.
 
@GnomeSlice I know you didn't notice. Hence the parens. ♪
 
I wonder how much fun does Dungeon of Dredmor get without permadeath
I guess that if I don't save though, there's really not much point
 
@badp Elona is one of the most lenient when it comes to death in a Roguelike, but it remains pretty fun.
 
8:50 PM
@badp I tried it once like that, but after I died I didn't really want to go back to my save

Q: Can you turn off titles in player names?

Perishable DaveCan you turn off titles in player names? For example if my name is Akbar, I might have the options to add "Captain Akbar" or "Akbar, Black Bisector". When I'm in a warzone, the titles make it difficult for me to match up the player on screen to the badge on the operations frame.

 
@badp I play practically every roguelike without permadeath. I'm weird though.
I enjoy the exploration and the artifacts more than the punishment for failure
 
I'm considering making a save every time I go downstairs. It might be a bit too much coarse though
 
@badp oak says the game autosaves when you go down stairs, but you might be talking about backing it up for later restoration
 
How much of a hassle is saving?
(Elona saves at dungeon entrance and when you sleep, to put in perspective)
 
8:52 PM

Q: Is there a way to autosave in Dungeons of Dredmor?

agent86Dredmor is a fun game, but it occasionally crashes on my computer. Therefore, I end up saving often to avoid losing progress. Going into the menu to save means that first I have to close all of my sub screens (ie, I have to close my inventory, dismiss my Lutefisk cube, close my character window...

you can save whenever, by pressing "menu" and then either "save and continue" or "save and quit"
 
yeah, I knew that much
...your lutefisk cube?
do I even want to know?
 
@badp clearly. I can't tell you anything you don't already know, that's part of the paradox :)
 
fair enough
 
@badp ... you don't have a horadric lutefisk cube?
 
@agent86 hm, nope?
oh look. I just found my very first one right this second.
 
8:55 PM
@badp get on that. it allows you to transmute anything into anything else. as long as by "anything else" you mean a pile of lutefisk
 
so... it makes lutefisk an alternative form of currency to... tithe
 
just don't try making lutefisk out of another lutefisk cube
unless you like capital f "Fun"
and by Fun I mean death.
 
I'd need two cubes in the first place
since I've only just found one after... 18 (!) hours of playing...
 
@badp It also happens if you try to put the cube in itself
 
just a warning. They're not super rare, so there's a possibility you'll encounter a superfluous lutefisk cube. and you might be tempted to transmute it.
I think it took me about that long to get a character off level 1
 
8:57 PM
eh. Achievement get. Load game.
 
but that was mostly because of the glitches and bad patches around christmas
 
fun has been had.
although I expected something wittier
 
Lutefisk comes in cubes?
 
Horadric ones, no less
 
just to ask though - my character's got swords, dual wielding, master of arms, promethean magic, perception, burglary and magic training. How's that for a character?
(too localized for the site :P)
 
8:59 PM
@NickT no silly, you have to put the lutefisk in. It doesn't come with any. sheesh.
 
in what
 
@badp promethean magic FTW. I have assassination and staffs though
@NickT the cube.
 
@agent86 yeah, a friend suggested killing things with fire. It's really awesome.
 
it puts the lutefisk in the cube or it gets THE HOSE
@badp the level 0 skill for that tree is super OP
 
There a wiki for Dredmor?
 
9:01 PM
I burninate ALL the things!
 
although for some reason this character doesn't come with stock lockpicks
 
@GraceNote yes
 
gets lucky pick
 
@badp I've considered lucky pick + lutefisk cube + time = infinite fisk, but it seems like that might get boring after a while
 
@agent86 eh... one lockpick is one fisk
I imagine that's a pretty low conversion rate
 
9:03 PM
@badp yeah, but if you speed the game up and walk in circles, you can keep piling them up. even just playing normally and casting that skill when it cools down I have a pile of 70-80 of them pretty fast
 
which raises the question, what's the lutefish god for? Let's see if there's a wiki with the answer
there is I guess
 
@badp there's also a Q on the site about it
7
A: What does giving lutefisk to the lutefisk god actually do?

The Communist DuckIf you tithe enough pieces, you get an artifact you can use or sell. From the wiki: Each Lutefisk tithed increases the chance of receiving a random reward (each Lutefisk increases the chance of obtaining an artifact by 0.2%, up to 100%). You can sell to the shopkeeper three ways: Click o...

4
A: What affects the artifacts granted by the Lutefisk God?

DMA57361What artefact you receive is random, but giving more Lutefisk can result in extra enchantments. Specifically, each 125 Lutefisk added to the statue for one object will grant an extra enchantment on the artefact received. So, 500 Lutefisk for an object will grant the best possible results of four...

I also clear out the throwing weapons vending machines of all their softballs for MOAR LUTEFISK
 
What do you guys think of that as a suggestion for game on?
And this:
 
and then Dredmor crashed on me for the first time
I blame the lutefish
 
@Wipqozn See above.
 
9:12 PM
ooooh. Achievement get.
how kind.
 
@badp ... for the game crashing?
 
yep
> Suddenly the Dungeon Collapses
> This achievement is our way of saying "Thank you for participating in our voluntary quality assurance program."
 
@GnomeSlice I am not sure how good an MMO would be for Game On
 
@murgatroid99 Hm... you might be right.
What about the other one?
 
@GnomeSlice That one looks pretty cool. I can't tell from the main page whether you can play a game only with people of your choosing.
 
9:18 PM
@murgatroid99 Me neither. Hm...
 
hrm, does converting to lutefish increase the chances of shops?
I've found three on level 1
 
@badp I think that has happened to me even when I didn't find a cube
 
@badp not that I'm aware of. The level's generated when you enter, not as you progress, as far as I can tell
and on the first level I generally find at least 2 or 3 shops, at least in my non-statistically significant sample size

Q: How does offline mode impact Anno 2070?

ladenedgeAnno 2070 apparently has online and offline modes, and I'm wondering how those modes are different. I found some discussion of what you can't do in offline mode, but having not yet played the game those specifics weren't very helpful for me. Basically I'm wondering about whether the online mode...

 
@GnomeSlice If we're gonna do an FPS I would recommend QuakeLive
or TF2
 
@Mana Xonotic.
 
@GnomeSlice SNAKE ATTACK
 
course we already do a bunch of TF2
 
Also, Oil Rush looks AWESOME.
 
9:36 PM
I second the TF2 and Xonotic recommendations
 
@GnomeSlice Why Xonotic as opposed to QuakeLive?
 
@Mana Xonotic is free? (I'm assuming quaklive isn't)
 
@Wipqozn it's free
+ playable in a browser
 
@Mana oh my
 
@Mana It's newer? Still in active development? Why Quake Live over Xonotic?
 
9:38 PM
That's quite nice
 
@GnomeSlice shrug
 
Also, @Wipqozn, you should schedule Trackmania in there.
 
@Mana, @GnomeSlice: Battle to the death. The winner will decide which FPS we play.
@GnomeSlice I'm not scheduling those games until we reach the end of a cycle.
I will keep it in mind, whatever it is.
 
@Wipqozn Trackmania Nations Forever should be one of the common ones we play. It's free, uses Steam, multiplayer, and has a track editor.
@Wipqozn I've been thinking. Have you heard of NEXUIZ?
 
@GnomeSlice Are racing games popular among our community though?
I rarely see questions for racing games asked.
 
9:40 PM
@Wipqozn I enjoy them. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
 
@GnomeSlice I'm sure, but the point of common games is that it is something a sizable portion of the community likes.
I will make sure we play it.
If enough people tell me they would like to play it, I'll fit it in on a weekend earlier to test it out.
 
@Wipqozn Take a look here.
I personally want to try ACID ARENA from that list. Lol.
But NEXUIZ I've heard of before... might be an alternative to Xonotic, which is sort of buggy.
 
Also, @mana, I'm curious: Why do you suggest Quaklive over Xonotic?
I've never played quakelive, so I don't really know anything about it.
Except that it's quake.
 
@Wipqozn NEXUIZ
 
@Wipqozn that is literally the only reason I suggested it
 
9:43 PM
@Mana oh,haha
 
Oh neat! I didn't realize Nexuiz is from the devs of Capsized!
 
also because I think the servers are a bit more active than Xonotic's
 
@Mana That is a good point.
I think we should try Nexuiz though, @Mana. Quakelive is getting a bit dated.
 
Okay
 
Wow, looks like it's been handed off
 
9:47 PM
@GnomeSlice Is it free?
Wait, is it even out yet?
 
@Wipqozn Nexuiz classic is... not sure about the new version, as it's been handed off to THQ
 
Why would you suggest that over Xonotic @gnome?
 
WHYYYY
 
@Wipqozn Xonotic is kind of buggy, and Mana is right, the servers are largely dead.
 
@GnomeSlice SNAKE ATTACK!!!!!
 
9:51 PM
Aw dammit, tremulous is moving over to exclusively xbox live...
@Wipqozn We should try Acid Arena too.
 
So, tell me, am I off base for thinking that this question might be too localized:

It looks like you can't choose which server to play on @mana in quakelive. IF that's tree, then it is definitely not going to be part of game on.
 
@Wipqozn As long as we're talking about Game On... I've been hesitant in the past, but I'd really like to try Soldat.
 
@Wipqozn You can choose what server to play on
I've played it before a bunch of times
 
@Mana It looks like ti just gives you a limited selection of servers.
 
9:57 PM
Acid Arena looks amazing.
...Assuming it's still running. Last post was in 2005...
 
@Wipqozn Did you figure out how to host in Xenotic?
 
yup, new albums
