Q: In Rollercoster Tycoon 3, do billboards have any negative effects?

Gareth JonesTitle just about says it, but I'll clarify anyway. In Rollercoster Tycoon 3 billboards give in a small income per billboard, however ive always wondered, do billboards have any negative effects, such as guests not likening the view...?

 
12:13 AM
why am I still awake
more importantly, why am I not tired
 
12:33 AM
@pixel I don't know, but when I come back from eating something you want to heal me while I learn to tank shit in instances I've never run before?
 
which instances? I've probably never run them either
 
Was thinking darkness war->ankh->hell raised
 
lol i have only been in ankh
ok sure thing, this will be fun
highest level instance i've healed is inferno but it was effortless
 
DW is between inferno and ankh.
And I wildly out gear them, same as you. :)
 
:P
well I just captured another facility
I'm going to go make coffee
 
12:39 AM
oh hey look its my question... thats kinda odd.
 
lol I do like 800 hps just spamming anima shot
 
@pixel thanks for the spelling fix on my question, was using IE9 and had no spell check
 
Hi folks
 
@Shinrai Hi
 
NP it's what I do
 
12:41 AM
@pixel One thing i want to ask is, when I try to make an edit like that, it says Ive got to change more than i think its 8 charaters.... that was a two character edit?
 
its rep based, after 2.5k you don't need authorisation
 
@OrigamiRobot You were at Fanime!?
 
@pixel oh ok then, that does make sense thanks
 
12:43 AM
@Fluttershy awww, that is so much better... But still I was surprised to find my sighting of the elusive @OrigamiRobot!!
LoL Citing.. Can you tell I have been reading too much Wikipedia??? :D

hm, it seems the link link on every post on the site has been renamed to share. Threw me off for a bit.
 
@Mana meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/136994/where-did-the-sharing-buttons-twitter-g-etc-go/
 
Is it ok to bump a question that i feel didnt get enough views cause i asked it when the deabilo 3 thing was it out? (Its aboue AoE 3)
wow the room suddenly went silent....
 
(it's because we're judging you)
@GarethJones Bumping is usually best done on this site by putting a bounty on something.
Edits should be reserved for things that need to be, well, edited, not for bumping.
Hey @Ashley. How's it going?
 
user15026
12:54 AM
@Mana Pretty awesome. Finishing my last assignment of the term, and I have cake flavoured vodka. :D
 
@AshleyNunn Cake flavored bluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
that's horrible.
why would you subject yourself to that.
 
user15026
@Mana shush no it is awesome
 
user15026
@Mana Because it is vodka that tastes like CAAAAAKE
 
@AshleyNunn my body is in physical pain from reading that.
 
@AshleyNunn that's pretty gross.
 
user15026
12:56 AM
You people are NO FUN
 
not that it makes much difference, but what kind of cake?
(I can't stand alcohol so I am probably extremely biased)
 
user15026
@Shinrai frosted vanilla cake
 
@AshleyNunn blergh.
 
user15026
sigh Well, more for me then!
 
@AshleyNunn Why don't you make some more cake that tastes like cake?
 
user15026
12:59 AM
@RedRiderX Because then it wouldn't be alcoholic and vodka-y? I can make drunken cakes, but when you bake it, you lose everything but the alcohol flavour.
 
@Mana @GarethJones That said, if you can make substantive improvements to your question by editing it, that's a perfectly acceptable and encouraged means of bumping it.
But just replacing a word with a synonym for that purpose is frowned upon, yes
 
@AshleyNunn Here's a crazy idea. Bake a cake and drink vodka while you eat it?
 
@GarethJones Well, I try to not bump my question just as a principle - but imho if you can format it to be clearer and easier for readers to understand what you're asking; that is justification enough. Which you should do anyway, maybe it got buried due to D3 or it could be due to lack of details too.

FluttershyMy computer takes a while to load DayZ. My computer can also barely run DayZ. Whenever I spend five minutes joining a server, I am immediately disappointed when it is pitch black. Due to my insufficient graphics capabilities, no adjusting of settings will allow me to see any better at night. Th...

Q: What weapons are generally considered overpowered?

DustinI'm a huge fan of MW3 - it's my favorite title in the Call of Duty series so far. However I have noticed that it has a much larger spread in terms of damage output/accuracy/general effectiveness of weapons than other CoD games. And because it's an online multiplayer game there's always a lot of t...

Q: Traders standing at the corner of the map

MerigrimWhile playing Dwarf Fortress (0.34.11), I noticed that a trader had come with my last migrant wave. Instead of following the rest of the dwarves to the fortress, he decided to hang around at the edge of the map. I didn't pay much attention to that at first, but now there are suddenly five traders...

Jin
1:24 AM
omg i'm in a guild meeting on Mumble.
Eve corp skerets
 
@Jin I still cannot get into that game...
I want to be able to... I love space-faring games... I just... Can't.
 
Jin
@Fluttershy it's very different for sure.
 
@Jin I played about 5 hours on my 21 day free trial account... It's just... I think I'm too dumb to play it.
 
Jin
@Fluttershy it has a steep learning curve. but i thought the tutorials are decent. but after that, the game becomes what you make of it
it could be extremely boring or fun..
 
@Jin Welp, leaking this to goonfleet. Hope you didn't like your ships that much. :P
 
Jin
1:27 AM
it's been like a roller coaster for me
@LessPop_MoreFizz dreddit 'n goons are allies
 
@Jin 'swhat you think
 
.oO( cake )
 
@Fluttershy It annoys me that EVE has done so well, but Earth and Beyond closed so quickly. I actually enjoyed the latter...
 
@Shinrai I've never even heard of the latter.
 
@Fluttershy God, it was so awesome.
 
Jin
1:37 AM
Eve appeals to the spreadsheet nerd in me..
 
Earth & Beyond was a science fiction massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by Westwood Studios and published by Electronic Arts (EA). The game was released on September 24, 2002 in the United States. EA shut down Earth & Beyond on September 22, 2004. It was the last game developed by Westwood Studios. History Development for Earth and Beyond began in 1997 and was originally designated as Project G. By 2001 Westwood had created content for over 100 sectors of playable space. Public Beta for the game began on March 9, 2002, allowing up to 100,000 new players t...
 
EVE makes my brain itch
 
Jin
WTF my corp raised tax rate to 15%!!!
/ragequit
 
user15026
...there are taxes in your game? O.o
 
Jin
@AshleyNunn yes... there are no guilds in Eve, only corporations. and it's very territorial and money driven.
 
user15026
1:41 AM
@Jin Alright then. Eve is one of those games I do not think I will ever understand
 
@AshleyNunn EVE is basically the accounting MMO.
 
Jin
@AshleyNunn honestly, if you stick with it for a week, then everything becomes quite clear. I think the initial learn curve turns a lot of people off.
it's also a mmo that has almost no pve scripted content(dungeon raids etc)
all the content are player generated
 
user15026
I have a very low tolerance for MMOs in general
 
@Jin In order for it to be a curve it needs to not be a vertical line
 
1:42 AM
@Shinrai thanks, I was about to go look for that
 
Jin
@Shinrai i was just about to link that.. had the url copied 'n everything..
 
Figured I wasn't the only one who thought of it...
 
@pixel lmao
 
Jin
i was just tired of the typical wizard/paladin type of mmo.
i thought about playing Tera
 
@Jin TSW!
 
Jin
1:44 AM
Looking back, the MMO i enjoyed the most was City of Heroes
 
I tried EVE online for about a week and my only conclusion was, "What is the point?"
 
Jin
Tabula Rasa was a big let down
@Koviko there's no point of trying to play pve in Eve. you'll be bored out of your mind
 
I tried EVE for 10 days and figured I already had a day job

@pixel THIS. (Also I hate PvP so there's that)
 
Jin
@Shinrai eve is all about PVP :)
and scamming people
 
1:46 AM
@Jin exactly.
 
Jin
I find the subculture of Eve players very interesting.. they seem very very close knit, more so than any other MMO communities
CCP is a great company too. they know how to work the community
 
CCP does seem to be a pretty cool developer
 
Jin
I didn't want to try Eve at first, because it's a 9yr old game. but i learned that CCP keep on improving the game, all the time. so the game still looks polished and up to date
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz @Shinrai etc TSW instances?
 
Jin
DUST514 looks interesting... but too bad it's for PS3 only
 
1:48 AM
@pixel I've only run Polaris so I think I'm behind the curve for you guys
But sure
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz wants to try tanking
once he reappears, think he could still be eating
 
I don't really have a decent dps build but I can probably contribute a bit ;3
 
"Hello World!"
 
I got roped into DPSing a Polaris elite, but after that, sure. Should only be a few.
 
Oh, I guess I should ask "What exactly are we running?" I'm only in BM still so kinda limits my options

I'm slowly dying of dehydration, and I have no idea how to fix this. Well, alright, I know that I need to drink something, but I ...

 
@AshleyNunn I thought it was just all about the coins.

@skovacs1 Thats why I want it! :D
 
4:53 AM
@AshleyNunn Tell me how it is when you do play it. I've not bought many of the mario platformers in the last few years.
 
user15026
@skovacs1 Will do. I liked Super Mario 3D Land, it was quite fun.
 
I was completely disinterested in the Indie Royale bundle in the starred comments until I realized that geneforge saga is a $20 collection of 5 retro RPGs. Also, the chiptune album is pretty sweet. Metacritics seem reasonably good. Has anybody actually played any of the geneforge games? Are they good? What are they like?
 
@skovacs1 I have played other Spiderweb titles and enjoyed them.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Like the Avernum/Exile stuff?

@AshleyNunn Fair warning. @spugsley dog ears her books. She is a monster.

Q: What do the difficulties mean?

OrigamiRobotWhen selecting a server, I see Veteran, Regular, and Recruit. Do these designations have any in game effects or are they more like reflections of the general attitude of the server?

 
@skovacs1 Yeah, avernum sounds right
it's been a long time
 
@OrigamiRobot Punching babies is one thing, but permenantly damaging books such that they can no longer be maintained in their original condition? That's just going too far. Next thing, you'll say she cracks the spines and writes in her books, underlining and highlighting certain parts.
 
user15026
I hate when people write in library books, that is the worst
 
5:16 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Fair enough. Mentioning their other games (Avernum/Exile) reminded me that I like their stuff. Also, I am a sucker for soundtracks so I bought the bundle. Now I have to try out this Desura thing.

An LoLer should take a look at it.
 
@Wipqozn Just a random note, you can create headings using # or by dropping a few -------------- or ============= in the line under the heading
 
"An LoLer" should be "A LoLer"
and its a dota question, not LoL

@Wipqozn Why is that still open? We're usually decent about duplicates.
 
1:37 PM
@fbueckert Every so often a question slips through the cracks.
 
@Wipqozn Bah. Bah, I say! That just means we need to be better. :P
 
@Wipqozn it was to this question and consisted of 'KILL THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!'
 
@pixel yeah, that was flagged as "Not An Answer", but it was an answer, so I marked the flag as invalid.
Poor answers are still answers.
 
You can't kill them in all that village, quest givers are immune
thus for the question "how do I reset my bounty" it is invalid
but cba with arguement
 
Actually if you take another look at the question:
> never go to Markarth or just murder all the guards since I'm good at that
So Kill them all is an answer to the question, it's just not a very good answer.
 
1:41 PM
ye, you can't murder the village, there isn't a single village you can get 100% kill on
(I tried)
 
Wrong answers are still answers as well.
 
I shall keep the communities acceptance of intentionally wrong answers in mind when I decide to troll
 
how do you know the answer was intentionally wrong?
 
It was in all caps and had more than one exclamation mark
 
Just because he decided to joke around with his answer doesn't mean he was intentionally posting a wrong answer.
Anyways, the point is, Not An Answer is not meant to be used on wrong or terrible answers.
 
1:45 PM
sorry for interpreting 'not an answer' very literally.
 
@pixel Even interpreting it literally, it's still an answer. An absolutely wrong and bad answer, but an answer nonetheless.

kiamlalunoAs I understand it, the "not an answer" flag is not thought for wrong answers, but for something that has been posted as answer, and it is: an edit; the OP added additional information about the question, but the OP wrote it as answer, instead of editing the question a comment; somebody else ha...

 
I'm not getting into a policy discussion as past experience has already taught me that such discussions are a waste of my time
 
@pixel You're the one that brought it up.
All we're doing is telling you why the flag was marked as invalid.
 
I just mentioned a dispute on a flag
largely don't care in differences of interpretation
my solution is to stop flagging

@pixel the reason they don't allow Not an Answer flags on answers that are completely wrong is that that would require the person who acts on the flag to have knowledge about the subject of the question, which is not expected. On the other hand, something that is not an answer at all can be recognized by anyone, regardless of subject matter
 
you don't know when to drop it do you?

Q: Ascendancy for iOS how to build a ship

Tim AlexanderSo I picked this up on the ipad after having loved the original in DOS. really had to strain the grey matter to remember some of the basics but cannot get past this one stumbling block: How do I build a ship!?!?!? I have spare population, a shipyard, spare orbital slot and the abilitiy to crea...

 
In other news, Orcs Must Die 2 is coming out next week.
Anyone thinking of picking it up?
 
@fbueckert I thought about it, but then I thought about something else.
 
I never played the first one, but my brothers say it's good.
Does it really need to be a sequel rather than DLC?

@Wipqozn And that something else is...?
 
@pixel I just wanted to make sure that you understood the rationale behind the Not an Answer flagging policy.
 
@fbueckert It's a secret.
 
@fbueckert Are you wanting to split a two pack?
 
@murgatroid99 to avoid spending large portions of each day in these kind of discussions, I've adopted a simple policy of "if it isn't intuitive, I won't do it" - the information on everything that I've ever got into a large conversation/discussion/arguement/etc about has not been something that is available without spending time searching on multiple meta sites - once it gets to that stage I simply don't care and will prefer not to use that part of the system rather than spend time learning it
especially since meta based rules seem to change like the direction of the wind, based on who is online at a given time
