Does anybody know how to make steam not keep switching the game that is downloading for a different one in the queue?

user15026

Can I take a mechanical keybaord apart or will thhat kill it?

user15026

I am having a ton of trouble with repeated keypresses and crap, and I figure there might be grossness in hte keys making things all messed up

@AshleyNunn Eeeeh.

You could try popping keys but without knowing the keyboard in questions it might be hard to get them back on.

MBraedley

Should be fine. You're meant to be able to swap out the switches on most mechanicals anyways.

Q: Installing Mods for 1.5.2

How do you install mods for 1.5.2 since you don't have a bin folder. I've tried duplicating the 1.5.2.jar and all that, but it still doesn't work. The mod that I want to install is the "Fossils and Archaeology Revival Mod". I have a Macbook by the way.

3:16 AM

Tonight's Listening has probably been posted by me before. Awesome blend of 80's synth-heavy electronic and chiptunes.

@MBraedley Yeah I guess if it's a real mechanical keyboard it is a bit safer.

user15026

@RedRiderX Its A Steelseries 6G v2

MBraedley

Anyways, I'm out. 2 hours of recording has me beat. Still 2 hours to go with the next episode.

GUYS. GUYS. GUISE.

NEO Scavenger is on Steam!

@Ullallulloo @Fluttershy @Whoever else played that

Ullallulloo

@GnomeSlice :D

Pvt. Grichmann

3:20 AM

@GnomeSlice Great! I have that one, and I don't even have a clue where exactly I got it.

@AshleyNunn Hmm, it seems like the keys should be pretty easy to remove and clean.

@Pvt.Grichmann Groupees, perchance?

Ullallulloo

No keys up on Groupees yet though.

user15026

@RedRiderX Awesome

Pvt. Grichmann

@GnomeSlice Probably that's where it's originally from. I think it was a present.

3:21 AM

@Ullallulloo It was in two groupees bundles, wasn't it?

I remember it being in one with Omegalodon, and it's also in this one groupees.com/bm5

Huh, I thought it was in this one too

@GnomeSlice Yayyy!

@Ullallulloo @Fluttershy There appears to be a way to get keys for it already: steamcommunity.com/app/248860/discussions/1/648813727964007687

If you have it on Desura

NEO Scavenger is on Steam! Here's how to get your activation code, if you own the game already.

@Ullallulloo @Fluttershy stars pls

Ullallulloo

I didn't know it was being updated so actively still.

That's really neat.

user15026

Last essay of the term completed :D :D :D

Well, that's kinda icky.

@fbueckert ?

Prenda's using Mandela's death to seem like the good guy when they're paying their court ordered fees.

StrixVaria

Is Starbound just like Terraria 2 or something?

user15026

@fbueckert what the fuck

Q: Is Starbound the sequel to Terraria? or what is their relationship?

3

A game called 'Starbound' popped up on Steam and I am confused as I am waiting for Terraria 2. I love Terraria and some various websites said that the Starbound developer team has members from the Terarria team. Also terraria 2 and starbound are both supposed to feature infinite worlds and spac...

terraria starbound

Uh you know what

I think I did that link wrong

3:35 AM

@AshleyNunn arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/12/…

that's not the right news

StrixVaria

@Fluttershy Weird.

wait yeah it is, it just doesn't show how to get a steam key

user15026

@fbueckert That is messed up yo

@StrixVaria Yeah... So, it's similar to Starbound in playstyle, and very similar visually (same graphics artist), but it's not a sequel, nor is it a spiritual successor.

3:35 AM

@AshleyNunn Just when I thought Prenda couldn't get any worse.

user15026

Seems like they can always get worse

I don't even know what Prenda is, but I hear @fbueckert talking about it a lot, and I don't like whatever it is!

user15026

Time to watch Totoro (I am so excited) and cross stitch and look at pretty earrings because I finally have holes in my ears again

@Fluttershy Think MPAA and them suing music torrenters, except replace music with porn.

If you want to read some highly amusing shenanigans, look them up.

Okay I actually still can't figure out how to get a steam key

nvm I got it

user15026

3:40 AM

AAAAAAAAAAAAA MY COMPUTER WONT LET ME WATCH TOTORO

And one of the more recent developments has turned out that Prenda has been uploading the porn themselves, essentially honeypotting the people they're suing.

@AshleyNunn What's it doing?

user15026

"Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder, and video card. Try installing an updated driver for your video card."

@AshleyNunn Screw that noise. Download VLC.

user15026

@fbueckert I have that :)

@AshleyNunn It should bypass any dinky copy protection WMP thinks there is.

user15026

3:41 AM

@fbueckert It is making the WORST noises in my disc drive

user15026

and nothing is happening

Hrm. That's strange.

I've got whatever DVD software HP gave me since apparently Windows Media cannot play BluRay.

Deus Ex

user15026

Now it makes no noise but still doesnt work

3:44 AM

@AshleyNunn this is in VLC?

user15026

yeah

user15026

like VLC pops up, but nothing happens

user15026

no playing

user15026

even if I press play

user15026

is super distressed

3:45 AM

Try it in the laptop?

user15026

oh yes! I have one with a disc drive now!

You do!

(also use VLC there)

user15026

crapnuggets, it is dead and I dont know where I put the power cord

user15026

how is it that I can lose something that is the size of a toddler

(also, it is a DVD and not an HD-DVD or blue-ray disc or something, right?)

Norbert

user15026

3:47 AM

seriously its block is huge

@GnomeSlice Oh my gosh the UNATCO theme!

Such a rad soundtrack for that game.

user15026

@ToxicFrog It just says Disney DVD on it

@RedRiderX Is that good?

@AshleyNunn You'd be surprised where toddlers can get to.

@GnomeSlice It's a rad theme.

3:48 AM

@RedRiderX Also it's a remix by nervous_testpilot (developer/music artist for Mode7 games)

user15026

also VLC says it "cannot sent the DVD's title. It possibly cannot decrypt the entire disc"

Q: How do you perform/setup a Co-Op Execution in Ryse?

The amount of times I've accidentally performed Co-Op Execution is staggering. I know it will be performed when I see two swords crossing a skull above the enemy's head. The thing is, is this random or is there a way I can force this to occur?

xbox-one ryse-son-of-rome

@GnomeSlice Oh wow.

Cool.

user15026

Oh, apparently I am a million VLC updates behind

@RedRiderX You didn't notice?

3:50 AM

@GnomeSlice No, actually. :P

@RedRiderX It's pretty damn good.

Just saw the title and heard the song and it took me back to Deus Ex.

@AshleyNunn that might be it

@AshleyNunn it also might be a region locking thing; you'll often get that error if you try to play a region locked DVD in a drive with a nonmatching region

@AshleyNunn or it might be some new, weird DRM

user15026

How do I know the region of a DVD>

@AshleyNunn it should be marked on the disc

3:52 AM

@RedRiderX sturs pls

user15026

Should it be making terrible grinding noises?

3

@GnomeSlice kk

@RedRiderX I still have never played Deus Ex

I have the new one for Xbox 360 though

I got it at a microplay for like $3

the disc was pretty mangled but they resurfaced it

@AshleyNunn Only if you want it for mulch. :P

user15026

Yeah, it is still having decryption problems

user15026

3:54 AM

what the shit

user15026

this is a brand new DVd

user15026

whhhhhhhhhhy

user15026

also, it says "NTSC 1" on it

user15026

I dunno what what means

@GnomeSlice gog.com/game/deus_ex

Don't get 2

Pretend that 2 doesn't exist.

3:55 AM

@RedRiderX I saw that one somewhere, it looked pretty bad

lol

If I play any of them, it's going to be the new one.

Since I have it

@GnomeSlice We don't speak of 2

@AshleyNunn That means "US/Canada"

user15026

@Unionhawk oh, good.

@RedRiderX I think my dad mighta bought it because it was like $2

@AshleyNunn it probably shouldn't be making terrible grinding noises. Does it do that to other discs?

(I can poke at it when I come over to collect you this weekend, or we can try it in Thoth, but that doesn't really help you tonight...0

user15026

3:56 AM

No, it played Princess Mononoke just fine last night

user15026

@ToxicFrog It's okay, I have 7 other Ghibli movies to watch :D

user15026

So I can watch a different one if they work and we can poke at this on the weekend

user15026

maybe by then I will have also found Discord's power cord

@AshleyNunn are you sure you counted right?

user15026

@Krazer I got 9 in hte mail

user15026

3:59 AM

I watched one

user15026

one doesn't work

user15026

7 left :)

lol

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

user15026

Howls Movibng Castle works, which makes me think it is the DVD

user15026

that is super disappointing

4:03 AM

@AshleyNunn can you list them all? :D

user15026

yesterday, by Ashley Nunn

I have.... Ponyo, Spirited Away, Kiki's Delivery Service, Howl's Moving Castle, Nausicaa, Princess Mononoke, Totoro, Porco Rosso, and Castle in the Sky

Aaaugh... My nose - it burn with the power of several million Scoville units!

user15026

@TrentHawkins why?

@AshleyNunn Missing: Arietty, ~~Ponyo~~, Earthsea, Poppy Hill, Wind Rises, Fireflies, Cat Returns, Pom Poko, Only Yesterday, Yamadas. Kaguya doesn't count because it just came out.

Aparently I was not sufficiently careful in the handling of my salsa, and then touched my nose.

user15026

4:12 AM

I have Ponyo

user15026

@TrentHawkins augh oh no

user15026

@Krazer I really want Arietty

user15026

Because I love the Borrowers a LOT

I finally composed a reply to Shylan.

It took me long enough...

@AshleyNunn they don't have it over there?

user15026

4:15 AM

I didn't know about it

@AshleyNunn eh, not the worst spice related 'incident' I've had. Once rolled a 1 on my "don't accidentally inhale food" check and got a lung-full of burning.

user15026

and these were all a present from a friend

user15026

@TrentHawkins augh. food does not go in lungs

@TrentHawkins I remember that. I was wondering if I was going to have to take you to the hospital.

Oh wait I saw it in there now.

4:18 AM

@AshleyNunn neither do drinks. My mom and I frequently re-enact scenes from Airplane. We have a drinking problem.

Yikes :P

@TrentHawkins sounds like fun

Q: Where do I find higher tier ores?

4:34 AM

1

After excavating in a few threat level 1-6 worlds, I've found a single piece of gold ore. I have no way of knowing just how far down I've been digging but It feels like quite a ways down, in fact most of my deaths underground are falling down long unlit tunnels. So far all of my gold+ ores have ...

user15026

Howl's Moving Castle is just as charming as the book so far :D

Q: What determines barter rates for goons, Rez and data?

0

Civilian stations trade one type of resource (Goons for Rez, Rez for goons, data for goons) for another depending on the system's type (Colony, Mining, Science). The exchange rate, however, can vary drastically from system to system. What factors influence these rates?

Cant afford it at the moment, but it is super cool

William Shatner has a new record of his usual spoken word performance over music nonsense, this time with a variety of prog rock guitar gods.

I can think of few things I want to listen to less, and I say this as someone that liked the album he did with ben Folds.

Is there really a market for a William Shatner Steve Vai duet?

REALLY?

spugsley

@StrixVaria HAHAHAHAHA I totally forgot how fucking hilarious that Hulk / Loki "fight" was

lololololol

5:00 AM

Yay, just finished a book. I read so much less now that I don't work.

user15026

@fbueckert What book?

@AshleyNunn The last book of the Nantucket series, On the Oceans of Eternity.

user15026

Not something I am familiar with .

The ending seemed a little rushed, but it all hung together rather well.

@AshleyNunn It's the mirror of the Emberverse series.

user15026

Another series I don't know :)

5:02 AM

@AshleyNunn Essentially, the island of Nantucket gets thrown back to somewhere around 1250 BC, and they have to figure out how to survive.

user15026

Interesting.

While in the Emberverse series, they get the island of Nantucket FROM 1250 BC, and are thrown back to medival levels of technology, since electricity, engines, steam power, guns, all that fun stuff doesn't work anymore.

@fbueckert Don't work? Are you out of work?

user15026

@fbueckert Apparently we get new Kylie Chan in April and July next year

I have been rereading the Ambergris stuff by Jeff Vandermeer lately.

So good. So much squid. So many mushrooms.

user15026

5:08 AM

Ive been reading romance novels

user15026

I need to find new stuff to read

I suggest Vandermeer.

@AshleyNunn Here, have a Novella set in Ambergris to whet your palate.

(Basically, Vandermeer has written three books set in this city of Ambergris that are only linked in the vaguest of senses. The first is actually a collection of novellas and short stories and... things for lack of a better term. The other two are somewhat more conventional novels.)

user15026

I am not sure I like his style.

@AshleyNunn It varies wildly - he likes to play around a lot.

@AshleyNunn The book I would normally recommend, especially if you're not into metatextual games as much, is Shriek: An Afterword, which Amazon has a 5 page snippet of on the look inside.

Q: How can I most effectively farm Pixels?

5:55 AM

0

I need a lot of Pixels to craft the various shiny weapons and armor that I have my eye on. However, the only ways that I can find to acquire Pixels are by killing enemies repeatedly, and by finding capsules underground. Neither method seems particularly quick, and frequent combat has its own asso...

6:03 AM

No, Google, when I typed foreword, I did not mean forward...

Yeah, It's getting complex

user15026

@Ktash are you -sure-? :P

@AshleyNunn Yes. I am, in fact, not looking for the forward of a book :P

user15026

@Ktash well then :P aren't you picky.

Ffs, guys, calm down so I can send the riot police and paramedics home

6:06 AM

@AshleyNunn I am. But I get what I want, and have found the proper thing, inspite of Google conspiring against me

@Ktash thats all that matters.

@Ktash I did! I liked it a lot.

user15026

6:19 AM

I started Howl's tonight

user15026

but II had to pause it to lie down

:(

Howl's is my favorite. Kiki is probably a good next one. I think you'll like that one

That or Spirited Away

user15026

I liked what I watched, but since my desk chair is broken and I was sitting tehre all night working on a paper, I really needed to lie flat

:/ understandable

Glad you liked Mononoke

Q: Can I store my pixels somewhere so I don't lose them when I die?

0

I die all the time. My pixel balance hovers around zero as a result. I'm trying to save up for armor but my nonstop deaths are making that difficult. Is there anywhere I can store my pixels so that when I die, I won't lose a bunch of them?

user15026

6:22 AM

@Ktash I really did!

user15026

And Howl is fun so far

I won't spoil anything (obviously) but he has some great themes, and even greater characters in his movies

Miyazaki is far and above my favorite director

user15026

I am super loving the films. My friend was right, they are a wonderful happy adventure.

user15026

Even when bad things are happening in hte movies.

yeah

they are fantastic

the messages in Kiki's and Howl's are very uplifting too

Are you watching in English or Japanese?

user15026

6:29 AM

In English

His movies are done very well and lovingly in English. Plus, he has a deal where they cannot change even a single frame of the movie

Those movies are one of the few sets of anime movies I actually recommend the English

it let's you take in all the beautiful (hand drawn) artwork throughout

user15026

It is so beautiful

user15026

The first time the moving castle appeared I paused it so I could just look at all the details

I have so much appreciation for the beautiful art in that movie. Especially knowing it is all done by hand

it just baffles me

user15026

It blows my mind and delights me

user15026

They are. Glad you get to enjoy them now :)

Doing this will brick your console.

@Unionhawk That's pretty bad.

@Arperum 4chan. Those dicks.

People who fell for "Your iPhone is waterproof" deserved their fate, this one actually sounds semi-legit to people who don't know.

@Unionhawk Yea, they tend to do that. I found the "iOS7 makes things waterproof" thing a good idiot selector, but thing is bad.

This one isn't obviously impossible, even if microsoft said "NO backward compatibility"

Like I said, it will brick your console. I think it technically sets it in a mode to reboot your console on startup every time? I don't know.

@Arperum mmh

I'm going to have to get a red outfit to go with my purple hair

instead of a green outfit

Martin Sojka

8:27 AM

@Unionhawk Looks like it likely won't do any permanent damage though.

@kalina I was first going to say soon-to-be-purple-haired beaty, but that kind of sound stalkery and I want to live on for a bit.

Q: Can you mine through the world?

0

As mentioned in this answer the world in starbound loops around. Can I keep digging down and end up on the other side of the world? What happens when I keep digging down?

You also spelt it wrong

@Lazers Starbound would be so much cooler if it was on 3D planets ... :/

@kalina probably, I can't even write something right in dutch.

@kalina wait, really?

someone at SE wanted you to have purple hair

@Unionhawk Because you want to click this link?

@Arperum Yep. Not sure what I expected there.

Yeah @tombull I was almost certain I would have a serial reversal today

It's not, but it is.

@Unionhawk Yes, this.

@tombull89 I. Wat.

@tombull89 ... What the actual fuck?

@FEichinger Yep.

Pretty much.

Looks like the star list is getting a full replacement this morning

Nah, someone will come along and clear them shortly.

8% battery drained in the first 25 minutes of the day is a bad thing

Shortly?
