Rafflesia arnoldii

Rafflesia arnoldii is a member of the genus Rafflesia. It is noted for producing the largest individual flower on earth, and a strong odor of decaying flesh - the latter point earning it the nickname of "corpse flower". It is an endemic plant that occurs only in the rainforests of Sumatra Island, Indonesia. Although there are some plants with larger flowering organs like the Titan Arum and Talipot palm, those are technically clusters of many flowers. Rafflesia arnoldii () is one of the three national flowers in Indonesia, the other two being the white jasmine and moon orchid. It was offic...

For most people.

@fbueckert Which is it? The game was decimating me when I first tried it with mouse/keyboard as the dash/dodge move was just silly hard to do reliably. Once I used my gamepad, I found the game too easy.

GnomeSlice

Welcome to the game that inspired the original Meat Boy.

fbueckert

@skovacs1 This saddens me. The game should work equally well no matter the control scheme.

@fbueckert That's an unrealistic expectation, in some cases.

@GnomeSlice Why? Console-itis shouldn't even be a concern for PC-only games.

Oh my goodness, what did they expect was going to happen.

@fbueckert Those were my thoughts, but reality hits hard sometimes. I just went with it. Fortune Summoners was a little more balanced on the control side, but it still erred towards easier with a gamepad.

@fbueckert I'm not familiar with that term.

This republican something-or-other is running a campaign against obamacare, where people can see their petitions being printed in real-time with a livestream.

fbueckert

@murgatroid99 Hmm. Alright, I concede not every control scheme should work the same. But if it's a PC-only game, it stands to reason that the keyboard and mouse should work as well or better than any other supported control scheme.

GnomeSlice

4:55 PM

Then the internet found it.

murgatroid99

@fbueckert not every game is suited to a keyboard. Just because it's easier to distribute it on a PC, that doesn't mean that they should be tied to that control scheme

@murgatroid99 You mean via analog sticks?

murgatroid99

@fbueckert yes

fbueckert

@murgatroid99 Alright. I can concede that point. I hadn't thought of that.

murgatroid99

@fbueckert That's the reason that Super Meat Boy, for example, is almost unplayable without an analog stick

GnomeSlice

@murgatroid99 Clearly you've never played the original meat boy. I don't even think Super Meat Boy SUPPORTS variable directional input, anyway.

@GnomeSlice SMB definitely tells you to plug in an XBox controller whenever you play, so I think it does. And I did play the original meat boy, and he would always move too fast to control

Ronan Forman

Or you could start from scratch and do a much better job.

fbueckert

@murgatroid99 I managed to make it fairly far in SMB with the keyboard. Then I lost interest.

And I don't recall it ever telling me to plug in a controller.

murgatroid99

@fbueckert I haven't played it in a while, so I might be misremembering, but I thought it did

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman Why do you say you suck at 3D? This is pretty good.

Stop what you're doing and type in http://maps.apple.com right now http://tnw.to/c0H5 by @thatdrew

@murgatroid99 It was made for the Xbox 360, then ported to PC.

@RonanForman To be honest, I'm not sure I could, this is excellent. However... you could work on some textures for me?

Yi Jiang

That said, why does Apple even have that redirect?

GnomeSlice

What the hell is with my internet, it's doing that thing where I have to refresh the chat to see any new messages.

@YiJiang It's Google maps.

James

@GnomeSlice in multiple rooms??

GnomeSlice

@YiJiang They used to use Google Maps in iOS.

@James I was, but I have been for a while.

My router went out again a few minutes ago so I turned it back on and now it's doing this.

Just left the other room... appears to be behaving normally now...

James

@GnomeSlice When I am at work if I am in multiple rooms chat messes up

Ronan Forman

5:27 PM

@GnomeSlice The textures are where I got stuck.

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman 'stuck'?

What sort of stuck. Stuck as in, you don't know how to make textures for 3D models?

Fluttershy

GnomeSlice

Because... neither do I, really.

I can do patterned textures okay.

@Fluttershy Chuck Norris stops chainsaws with his bare hands!

Fluttershy

@fbueckert And then gives you a stern look afterward.

@Fluttershy That looks more like disappointment than stern.

Q: Where can I find all the Diablo 3 quesitons?

Can we have a page, or question, that is available to anyone to add/edit all of the Diablo 3 questions already on the site? Something like a "sticky" maybe? If so, would that be something that would go META or on the regular gaming site? If this is possible, can we limit the links to ONLY other q...

support diablo-3

fbueckert

@Fluttershy Dude, that's NSFW. Flag it as such!

Fluttershy

Oh shit!

That wasn't at all what I meant to link there. MODS! BALETE!

Oak

Okay, that was major LOL.

Fluttershy

@Oak I am sooooo sooooo sorry. =(

fbueckert

I may have some explaining to do to our IT. ><

Fluttershy

5:51 PM

Freudian slip of all Freudian slips. =( I'm so sorry everyone.

fbueckert

Care to provide an actual link for the Marathon?

:P

Fluttershy

Anyone wanting to donate to Mario Marathon and have it affiliated with our site must use this link!

fbueckert

@Fluttershy Much better.

Oak

@Fluttershy why this address and not arqade?

A: Should GamingSE participate in Mario Marathon?

As I said in my comment, I really like this idea and it is ok with us if any of you want to make donations and put arqade.com in the URL affiliation. I looked into whether we can cover the donations, but unfortunately it will be too difficult logistically to do so for individual users. Do you kn...

Lauren asked to use arqade.com

Fluttershy

@Oak Actually, I was gonna forward an e-mail they sent me to a mod were a mod to provide an e-mail address for me to send it. They sent a whole explanation about it.

Oak

5:56 PM

@Fluttershy send it to the team, then, not to us community mods

@Fluttershy lauren@stackexchange.com

Fluttershy

@Oak I sent it to Lauren. He was saying it showed up as GamingSE because arqade just redirects there, but if we really wanted it to, we can be a special case, and it can show up as arqade.com

Oak

@Fluttershy I really really think it should be arqade.com. The entire point of having a catchier domain name than x.stackexchange.com is for promotions

badp

@Fluttershy wait why?

24 hours ago, by Fluttershy

Lauren has stated that it's okay to use arqade.com as our URL affiliation, should we donate to Mario Marathon!

oh okay.
