Q: Can you turn X-Rebirth into X3-TC?

AxiomX-Rebirth is something of a mixed bag for me. I can appreciate some of the attempts at storytelling, I love the visuals but I'm seriously disappointed with many of the limitations (especially in terms of your ship selection!). I'm familiar with the mod scene for the X games and I look forward t...

Q: Very old archaeologically-themed puzzle game

Ben HooperRecently, I've been reminiscing about a few PC games I used to play at my granddad's when I was very young, which would have been around 1995 - 2000. I managed to successfully identify one as Word Rescue, one as David Bellamy's Endangered Wildlife, one as Lemmings, but the last continues to elud...

 
@Lazers I'm disappointed, Bridge.
 
@fbueckert Because we don't happen to mercilessly haunt the site at all times, burning everything to the ground within seconds that doesn't fit standards?
 
@FEichinger You mean you have a life? Since when!?
 
@fbueckert Now, now, that was mean.
 
Remember, kids...
 
12:47 AM
Just because I'm here all the time, doesn't mean I don't have a life.
I just ... don't sleep all too much, is all.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Don't worry, it must have been a legit upvote. Pity upvotes don't exist!
@Brant I can't stop watching these other PSAs...
 
I would say TIL Consumers Energy is incompetant, but I knew that already
Also, not at home since... you know... no power there.

Q: Does the R.E.S.P.E.C.T. achievement in X3-Albion Prelude require a high Terran reputation?

AxiomIf you're not familiar with the achievement: R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Achieve the highest reputation with the main races Does this require a high reputation with Terrans as well? Is that even possible if you started on the Argon side? If it's possible to get this achievement in X3-AP, how do ...

 
booo, system update
 
@RavenDreamer That's OK, while I was at work today, I installed Visual Studio 2010 and its service pack.
 
@Powerlord I spent a week doing that, once.
 
I had 19 Windows Updates totalling 500MB to download and install after that. Over a slow wifi network.
Actually, said updates are installing now.
 
1:45 AM
Yay, got Diablo 3 running on Ubuntu and I can stop trying to set stuff up for a while and just leave it in a working state.
Only took 2 days to get here.
Also I have a bunch of 3 and 4-IV Panchams if anyone wants them.
@kalina Did you get fired from your old job?
 
HI PEEPS
 
@spugsley How's your photography challenge going?
I should just look at your flickr thing.
 
@StrixVaria back on track :) Just uploaded for today. Haven't skipped in a week or so :D
 
@spugsley Yay!
Once I get bored of Pokemon I'm going to start writing again :P
 
@StrixVaria hahaha yeah! And I will start reading it again sometime in the forseeable future! I found a new series and it's taken all of my reading time :3
 
user15026
1:52 AM
@spugsley Whatcha reading?
 
@spugsley I think you're all caught up with my stuff anyway. I haven't written since the wedding.
 
@AshleyNunn Tide Lords Quartet
@StrixVaria oh yeah I believe I am :o (or I might have one chapter? I'll check)
 
@spugsley I am reading the first book of Codex Alera whenever my DS runs out of batteries on the train.
 
@StrixVaria yessssssssssssssssssssssssss
 
@spugsley Do you have all these really long dresses in different colors or are you doing some kind of recoloring magic effect?
 
1:54 AM
@StrixVaria hahaha they are just sheets and I match the shirt to whatever color so it looks more dress like lol
 
@spugsley Oh that's pretty cool.
 
@StrixVaria yeah. And then I just take like 3-4 pictures of the sheet in different places and make a super long gown type thingy
ya know, combining in photoshop
 
The effect is really good.
 
@StrixVaria thanks :D

Q: Forge Scala error

user62012This message comes up every time I try to install forge: Libraries failed to download: org.scala-lang:scala-complier:2.10.2 Can you help me?

 
2:04 AM
The Ood sure had the right idea.
RIP DoctorDonna :(
 
@StrixVaria ... I should do this
 
@OrigamiRobot Oh yeah.
You're still in chapter 1 or 2 I think.
29 mins ago, by StrixVaria
Also I have a bunch of 3 and 4-IV Panchams if anyone wants them.
@OrigamiRobot I don't even think I'm friends with you yet :(
 
What's a Pancham?
 
First form of Pangoro, Fighting/Dark panda.
 
Ugh, I hate Fighting
 
2:16 AM
They're adamant.
But Pangoro is a badass.
 
@StrixVaria Thank you! I said I liked the panda and @OrigamiRobot insulted my taste in Pokemon, thus implying the panda was horrible.
How can you not like a panda? Pandas are the best.
 
5 mins ago, by OrigamiRobot
Ugh, I hate Fighting
 
@Wipqozn I'm just sad mine is female so I can't name it Po.
@Wipqozn Do you want a 4-IV adamant Pancham?
 
@StrixVaria I actually haven't played in a few days.
Or a week.
 
I mostly play on the train.
 
2:22 AM
or two.
 
I have 2 full boxes of Panchams right now and I plan on wonder trading most of them.
I just can't wonder trade on the train.

Q: Do evade skill and evade accessory stack?

NolonarI was wondering about stackable effects and came accross a good FAQ [The relevant entry of the FAQ can be found further down] However, there is one thing not mentioned in it, which I was wondering about and is also the reason I googled for it in the first place: What if Kanji knows Evade Wind (...

Q: How do I get a Nidoking with Sheer Force on X and Y?

Shadow ZorgonHow do I get a NidoKing with sheer force? I know that I must evolve a Nidorano with hustle into a Nidoking, but how do I get one? I have hatched 5 Nidorans and none of them have the right ability.

Q: What are good debugging strategies with Cheat Engine?

John Doe SantaI tried to enable a god mode in a game I play. Even though I found the health value on the correct address, locking the memory region did not stop enemies from killing me. That means, that the real value might be sitting somewhere else.I found only this one memory address with the exact value o...

Q: With Pokemon breeding, how do Pokeballs come down with parents?

Q: Are there any games like the Ace Attorney games?

JamdWondering if there are any decent detective games on the Xbox 360 (not DS,DSI,etc)

 
7:25 AM
@StrixVaria yes
ALSO
I AM AWAKE
 
CLEARLY
 
NOT
 
you're right, not quite awake
I might go back to sleep again
 
Knew it!
I want to sleep but I need to go to school to hear about religion
 
fuck religion
 
7:27 AM
I'd be fine with religion as long as they didn't force it upon me
which they do
 
@3ventic Then fuck 'em
 
I will likely get banned later in the day for that star
just saying
 
What star?
 
yeah I went to a catholic school
go figure how well that went down
 
I can only imagine.
 
7:30 AM
I go to a catholic school now, but honestly, they don't really care too much about the "catholic" part
 
smoking weed behind the basketball courts
 
I'm only required to take a 100 level religion class, and I think a 300 level religion class
 
@3ventic lol
 
At least my religion teacher knows half the class doesn't care about religion
 
7:31 AM
@3ventic hahaha what?
 
I didn't bother turning up for the religious education exam
but since it was amongst my final days at the school, the teachers figured it wasn't worth the effort to complain about my absence
 
@kalina Answer to everything "God did it"
 
"Why did Tom steal the candy bar?" - God did it
"Why do some people not believe in God?" - God did it
 
I do not believe in god
 
Who is the founding father of the church? - God did it
 
7:32 AM
@3ventic These totally work
 
Sort of.
I don't believe in god, but I don't deny the existence either..
I just don't care
 
I don't believe in Religion.
 
Now that's something I haven't heard before
I need to go though
 
As one of the few religious people on the internet... I really don't care for the place this is inevitably going......
 
bye
 
7:34 AM
Bye
 
There are lots of religious people on the internet
 
Well, you know what they say, the internet is all about the vocal minority (I'm not sure it's a minority in this case, but you know what I mean)
 
@kalina That is OK, because God believes in you!
 
unpossible
 
Heh.

Q: Is minor overheating a problem for my engines?

Mad ScientistSome engines like the Mailsail tend to always overheat when at full throttle, so I just set the throttle a bit lower. But I was wondering what the effect of minor overheating is, and how far I can push the engine before seeing any effects. Is overheating damage a binary result? So either the ove...

Q: Which strategy allows you to beat Rosh the most times in Diretide?

TMPSo far I know of two strategies. Pick carries, beat him to death with damage items. Pick people with burst damage (Lion, Lina) and use an etheral blade and lots of maxed out Dagons Does anyone know which is better? Or if there's a different better one? Note: Better can be defined as doing m...

 
8:54 AM
@KevinvanderVelden hi
 
it is rather cold this rainy morning
 
@kalina lies, it is just cold. No rain
 
boo
@kalina Agreed
@kalina and congratulations
 
I guess I shall now just be a bitch and go back to bed
 
boo
@kalina MeatStare
 
9:01 AM
actually no, I will wrap myself in duvet and play games all day
 
@kalina and, how long you gonna keep being able to do that until you start your new job? =p
 
@boo don't congratulate me on it being cold and rainy you evil little man
@KevinvanderVelden well I've requested a start date of 2nd December
 
boo
@kalina Obviously congratulations are in order for no other reason
 
@boo no, they're not
I was force fed 4 shots of absinthe lastnight
and then puked
and then slept
 
boo
@kalina Properly force-fed, through a nose tube?
 
9:03 AM
Well that's just horrible, waste of absinthe
 
...
 
boo
Also absinthe isn't as exciting as it is portrayed in popular culture.
At the end of the day it's just rather stronger sambuca
 
I imagine it was more fun before they limited the wormwood content

Q: How do I defeat the giant teapot in the second room in the desert fortress?

poison123I keep attacking the giant teapot in the second room of the desert fortress but I can't seem to "immediately" defeat it( because the giant teapot has tons of hp ). Is there another faster way to defeat the giant teapot instead of attacking for so long?

 
I prefer to commune with my green faeries through the consumption of marijuana
2
a small dog appears
 
boo
9:08 AM
@kalina Yes
@kalina Because marijuana?
 
@boo no
I'm completely sober
coming up to 2 months by now surely
no a small dog just poked its way through a tiny gap
jumped on, and proceeded to lick my face
so I pushed him away again
 
@kalina there are worse ways this could have ended
 
maybe in your opinion
 
boo
Interesting
 
@kalina remember, licking your face > biting your face
 
9:10 AM
now he's keeping my feet warm
I am totally fine with that
 
boo
I want a dog
 
I don't
I want to be in a dog free environment
 
boo
Dogs are warm and friendly, as opposed to my cold, dead heart.
 
9:32 AM
SO FREEZING COLD
 
@kalina MOAR overclocking?
Also, lots and lots of tea
 
well that's the problem
if I run a game, it gets uncomfortably hot after an hour or so
but idling, both pcs are pumping out cold air
 
Run something which only heats the CPU, like Dwarf Fortress?
 
boo
@kalina Open a window? Futilely attempt to seek a pleasant temperature for hours?
 
Though you'd think we would have means to achieve any air temperature in a reasonable "living conditions" range in a first-world country by now. Or even in England.
 
9:44 AM
@MartinSojka meh, in my home it's a case of the central heating switching off at night to save energy. It's plenty warm again at 10 or so
 
Woo the severance pay from my last job has landed
 
@kalina in one big chunk? Nice
 
Yep
 
boo
@kalina Awesome
Party at @kalina's house
 
Increases the value of my savings account by around 8%
 
boo
9:50 AM
@kalina Not bad
 
I'm now car hunting
 
boo
@kalina I can see about 3 right now
 
@kalina Good luck
 
@kalina harpoon or bazooka?
 
Probably just get a ford focus or Mazda 323 or something for the short term
 
9:58 AM
In case of harpoon, bring skates in case it tries to flee
 
boo
@KevinvanderVelden Harpoons are usually mounted on something, so assuming you've mounted it to something stationary you should be ok
 
@boo jeah, but then you can't car-skate so why would you do that?
 
so...Gnomeslice got banned again?
 
@tombull89 Again? he was banned before?
 
@qwertyk31 this is a joke, right?
 
10:10 AM
@kalina I haven't been here long
 
sigh
all these newbies
 
About a month
 
He's been banned...at least three times?
 
Huh, his user profile thingy doesn't say he's been banned?
Or is that only for the main site
 
14 hours ago, by Sterno
I miss @Gnomeslice.
I'm just going on this
and given his reputation assumed he was banned.
again.
 
10:15 AM
@boo hello my dear hamster :D
 
boo
@Minsc *Squeak!*

@kalina Minsc is an NPC in Baldur's Gate (the whole series)
He has a hamster called Boo

@kalina when was that?
 
@5pike swords for everyone!

GnomeSliceMeme: QA Originator: The love of puns. Cultural Height: June 12th, when the site name 'Arqade' and new design were published. Background: Badp thought he was being oh, so clever. Now look what you've done. Half the chat has changed their name to include 'QA' in it somewhere.

@Minsc BUTT KICKING, FOR GOODNESS!
 
10:20 AM
Welp, when you buy a new TV @kalina, might want to avoid this one: boingboing.net/2013/11/19/lg-tv-phones-home-with-your-vi.html
 
I don't want a TV
why would I want a TV?
 
@boo Boo is not just a hamster, it is a miniature giant space hamster
 
I want an array of 3 or 5 26"+ IPS panels with minimal bezels
I don't want a TV

Goddammit I just backed another Kickstarter

@boo uhhoh, and even without gnomeslice here to link you to it!
 
boo

No, wait
 
Wait, what? o.o

10:34 AM
@boo sure... sure...
 
ALL THEM KICKSTARTERS
SO MUCH AIDS
checks Elite kickstarter
 
boo
@kalina Quite. I hate Kickstarter, but I love Kickstarters.
 
ooh
do I pay an extra £40
and play Elite Dangerous in December
or do I wait until beta next year
what to do what to do what to do
oh it's an extra £100
that does make a difference
 
I've only ever backed one thing on KS - the Minecraft documentary.
 
boo
@kalina Does it make a difference to someone who got a massive cheque in the post today?
@tombull89 Was it worth it?
 
10:45 AM
cheque?
@boo I have issues with paying >£200 for a computer game
 
@kalina Cheque is British English, so don't complain.
 
I don't understand, this isn't the 90s
 
@boo Yeah, I was fairly happy. digital copy and physical copy of soundtrack and dvd, name in credits, papercraft steve and pig and wind-up creeper.
 
@kalina since when?
 
@TZHX since 2000
 
10:47 AM
@KevinvanderVelden Damn.
 
boo
@kalina Cheques are still a thing
@tombull89 Single use?
 
@boo yeah, single use. Whole thing is on YouTubes now though.
 
boo
@tombull89 I mean the creeper
 
well it's clockwork, you wind it up and let it go
 
boo
@tombull89 And then it explodes?
 
10:50 AM
naw :(
 
@tombull89 get to work on that then!
 
there we go
 
boo
@tombull89 Nice
 
APPARENTLY
I get some physical items
DRM free collectors edition premium boxed copy of Elite: Dangerous
includes a T shirt with "I backed Elite: Dangerous"
which will probably be like a bed sheet on me
and an A3 star map
which will be useful for covering this ghastly wall paper in this room
 
11:05 AM
@kalina what, the bed sheet or the star map? =p

Q: X Rebirth Position Coordinates

DaveI've been using Roguey's map to track things down in X Rebirth, but I have no idea how to obtain the coordinates of the current location of the Albion Skunk.
