Q: I have defeated the skeletron and no clothier will come to my house

PieBoy5432i beat the skeletron and recently learned the clothier is supposed to come into the world as a npc but never came.....i am really confused why it has not and have been on the internet trying to figure out how to get him to spawn

 
GUYS
GUISE
Preschtale is free again for Who Knows How Long and you should all get it.
CC @Benbrocka, @Mana, @RedRiderX erm... @badp @everyone else who likes music
@Powerlord
@Wipqozn @Fluttershy
 
@GnomeSlice Everyone likes music.
 
12:38 AM
@OrigamiRobot
Lemmings meets Tetris
 
@GnomeSlice thanks, but extensive sampling says that's not my cup of tea. No offense.
 
@badp Sampling? Which part are you talking about
 
I skipped here and there about all seven parts
 
The guitar and shit is a real guitar
You skipped here and there, you ruined it. =[
You have to listen to it gapless
But it might not be your thing anyway.
 
@fbueckert yup :)
 
12:43 AM
My favourite album of last year though.
oh I guess only the guitars in part 2 are real
 
@GnomeSlice What? You made me download a fake guitar?
 
@Coronus You wouldn't download a car!
@Coronus It's amazing either way, in my opinion.
I don't really know which parts are synthed or sampled or whatever
Don't listen to it on shuffle by the way
 
@GnomeSlice Oh, I know why this sounds familiar. Indie Royale. Halloween. Yeah, it's still good.
 
@Coronus ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
I must have missed that one
Also
 
@GnomeSlice I loves me some 8-bittish prog rock
 
12:50 AM
@Brant Oooo download that shit!
Preschtale is incredible.
Hail @agent86
 
waves
 
How've you been?
 
fine... stupidly busy, but fine. I keep ending up out of all my rooms for some reason or another. how've things been with you?
 
@agent86 Out? And not bad I guess. I'm a college graduate now.
Feels weird.
 
@GnomeSlice yeah, I have a browser window open to the chat interface on a couple of browsers, but it seems to forget the other rooms I'm in from time to time. I end up having to rejoin.
@GnomeSlice congratulations! welcome to the working world :)
 
1:01 AM
@agent86 Haven't made it that far yet... still unemployed x_x
@agent86 Oh, I thought you were talking about like your rent or something.
That's good.
 
@GnomeSlice ah, well, best of luck there then. I've used indeed.com for job searching in the past; don't know if it works in your part of the globe or not.
 
At this point I'd take like a plebe job. I've never worked before and any experience at all would be helpful.
It sucks that I don't drive. Makes it harder.
I had an internship for school actually, but I don't think it went very well
I really enjoyed it, but I was kind of slow
still haven't finished the project I was working on.
@agent86 Never heard of it, so probably not.
Canada?
 
well, there's an indeed.ca as well, so maybe so.
 
Workopolis is a specifically Canadian job site thing.
 
Cool, thanks.
I got some help from the emplyment center at school too
I'm probably not going to be looking for a motion design career job for at least a year though
 
1:10 AM
HEY I REMEMBER YOU @agent86

Q: What is the best way to capture cities in Civ 5 endgame?

CharnellWhat unit/technique is the best way to capture cities in the final age of Civ 5? I have been pumping out Death Machines but they don't really do very well versus cities and bombs.

Q: A list of all units versus each unit in Starcraft 2

rubo77Is there a list, where I can look exactly, in which order the units of one race are good against a specific unit? For example: I scouted and see "He is coming in with a bunch of Zealots". I play Zerg and have some different units already built, but I don't know which of them are best against Zea...

 
I wish I could will Flashbang studios into reforming and finishing Raptor Safari HD

@spugsley I look at your photos sometimes on the twitters.
just FYI, I'm stalking you.
 
1:25 AM
@agent86 :3 yay
@agent86 also :o
 
@spugsley your hair looks cute today also I am totally not hiding in a bush outside your house.
 
@agent86 bahahahaha
also thanks because I forgot to put today's on twitter so yayyyy
 
booyah
 
@spugsley Congrats
 
1:39 AM
@Ktash :D Thanks!
We close on August 5th :o omg I gotta pack
 
@spugsley That's ridiculously quick.
 
That's like... Monday, isn't it? O_o
 
@StrixVaria well, we've been negotiating for more than a month and that was the initial close. Don't see any reason to change it :p HOUSSEEEE
@Fluttershy yarp :o
 
@spugsley When's the house-warming party?
 
@Fluttershy whenever! Party at spugsley's house!
 
1:49 AM
@spugsley Is @Wipqozn invited?
 
@Fluttershy hahahaHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHA....hahaha...ha....
that's the funniest thing you've ever said :3
 
I dunno if I should be proud or insulted. o_o
 
2:03 AM
Wow my processor gets warm when I'm playing stuff. x_x
 
@Fluttershy BUY A FAN
 
@spugsley I'm running three! Would be four, but I don't have the right screws to mount the one to my side door. =(
 
@Fluttershy How warm?
 
@TimStone 53-56C.
 
That's not so bad. I had a lot of heating issues with my early-generation i7, but getting a different heatsink made all the difference.
 
2:09 AM
@TimStone I've read the same about the processor I got. =( The fan on this one is also crazy loud. x_x
 
I like my heatsink, but it's a monster, heh.
 
I guess stock AMD coolers aren't what they used to be.
 
My idle temp is anywhere between 21 and 34C.
 
I idle at around 38. I think with the stock cooler it was closer to 49, which was crazy.
 
Was looking at this as an alternative.
 
2:20 AM
Yeah, I've got (a slightly older version of) this similar one.
Just have to make sure that you have enough clearance, it's pretty close in my case, which is reasonably sized.
 
@Fluttershy my fan is loud cause my computer blew up once :3
it was too hot
 
It couldn't handle you touching it, obviously.
 
$40 for a cpu fan?
Screw that.
 
Oh, actually the older version that I have is only $20 with rebate.
 
Ah-ha!
A video I just watched said that AMD only improved the cooling for their 4 and 6-core processors. They expect people getting 8-core processors to use their own cooling. <_<

Q: Are there different endings for Antichamber?

BatophobiaI beat the game, but the timer ran out and I did not find all the pictures. If you beat the game within the time limit, is there anything special that happens? What about if you find all the pictures?

Q: amd ccc radeon 7990 profiles and driver updating?

Drew SI have the XFX double-D HD 7970 3g GPU and back when I was on windows I had a 3 monitor and TV set-up. I used to use profiles to switch between a TV mode with XBMC, a Eyefinity mode with my 3 monitors as one giant one with bezel compensation, and an extended mode. I want to be able to play my ga...

HI!
 
@AshleyNunn ohiagain
 
user15026
@lesspop hello yourself :)
 
user15026
@spugsley hello!
 
3:06 AM
 
user15026
@lesspop <3 it.
 
user15026
Also I am indoors and there is a small sparrow twittering above my head
 
@AshleyNunn It needed to come in from the rain. Clearly.
 
3:26 AM
Bridge y u so quiet
 
not enough cookies!
 
user15026
Sweet, got switched to a different bus (separating Guelph and Kitchener for some reason) and this one has outlets and wifi so it is better than my original bus.
 
user15026
@lesspop it's not raining as much anymore. :)
 
@AshleyNunn Hooray new and improved bus.
 
@spugsley I'm sorry, we can be louder
 
3:38 AM
THANK YOU
 
user15026
Also I had the most incredibly religious cab driver. It was interesting.
 
@AshleyNunn How so?
 
user15026
@lesspop Christian Contemporary on the radio, crucifix from the mirror, and he blessed me on my way out of the cab.
 
15 minutes to new night valeeeeee
This dude has been at this for about 15 years now with no luck. :(
 
3:55 AM
I really need to start listening to that podcast.
 
@Brant You really do.
 
I'm assuming it wouldn't make any sense unless I started from the beginning?
 
user15026
@lesspop I give that man with the sign points for perseverance I suppose.
 
you know what the best thing about getting a house is?!
TIME TO SHOP AT IKEA
 
4:11 AM
@spugsley pls bring back dericious meatballs
 
user15026
@spugsley I love IKEA. Buy all the awesome things!
 
Hi
 
user15026
@spyder hi
 
user15026
I have a fear I will fall asleep on this bus
 
4:26 AM
 
@AshleyNunn today I slept for two tram stops :)
 
user15026
@spyder I think the last stop for this bus is the stop I want in my home city so I suspect that if I did fall asleep I would be okay.
 
@fbueckert why are we not closing it?
 
@spugsley Because it'll be deleted shortly?
 
@fbueckert oh ok :)
 
4:31 AM
Because Spam burns it, and this needs to disappear.
 
user15026
Did you have to then walk extra? Or did you get lucky and there was a tram going the other way so you could get back to where you wanted?
 
user15026
Double bonus to this other bus? I am gonna get home an hour earlier than I was scheduled to.
 
TIME FOR SLEEPS BRIDGE
tired :) nighty night
 
user15026
Good night @spugsley!

Q: Tag synonym request: [falskaar] -> [skyrim-falskaar] (as per previous meta discussion)

galacticninjaCurrently, skyrim-falskaar is remapped to falskaar. But as of the currently top-voted answer in this meta discussion: How should questions about Falskaar (Skyrim mod) be tagged? - it should be the other way around. i.e. falskaar should be remapped to or be made a synonym of skyrim-falskaar.

Q: How to compute production yield equivalent to gold from Wonders?

Ulfric StormcloakIn Civilization V I noticed that when you are about to finished or half-way producing a Wonder and another civilization finished them first, you will earn a gold equivalent on how much production you produce from that Wonder. For example, I'm constructing the Statue of Liberty (total prod of 106...

@AshleyNunn I have neither, just cream cheese

Q: Abbadon immortal item effects

BloodcountSo... does the Abbadon immortal item (from the 2013 compendium) modify anything? I am pretty sure it doesn't change the normal attacks, curse of avernus, shadow coil and borrowed time seem to be unchanged as well. So am I missing something or is it just a weapon model change?

Q: Does Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection support offline 2-player versus mode without Xbox 360 controller under Win XP?

acalypsoI have Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection on Steam and had some problems playing it with a non-Xbox 360 USB controller - basically the Y-axis (vertical) is inverted and certain buttons are not recognized properly in the menu. Controller options in pause menu suggest compatibility only with Xbox 360 ...

Q: How do I patrol in Starcraft 2?

rubo77I played some years ago and used to use a patrol- and hold-position command with my units, but I cannot find it anymore in the game. Did they abandon that function? and if, why and is there an alternative? Is there an icon to click on? I use the QWERT keys, so I don't have "P" as it says in all...

 
@Blem hi
 
@spyder hey
 
Morning

Airborne Cavalry:
 
9:30 AM
@spyder Did they do with the horses what I think they did?
 
@fredley and what you think?
 
@fredley :D
 
@spyder Either that or...

Dota style!
Though that is a donkey, not a horse

@Blem The narration style on this is hilarious

Q: Can I enable popups for multiplayer in Civilization IV?

AnnaI just played my first multiplayer game of Civilization IV with a friend who was playing for the first time. When I played single player, there were a lot of useful popups telling me when something happened for the first time, e.g when I had connected a luxury/food/strategic resource to my trad...

Q: Does a resource have to be within the fat plus to use?

AnnaIn Civilization IV, can I connect to a resource outside of the "fat plus" as long as it is inside my civilization boundaries? For instance, could I build a road and pasture to horses three tiles away from a city and then be able to produce horse archers? ....... C: city H...C.. H: horses ...

 
@spyder "What is the number under my avatar? Total sum of rep on all stackexchange?" Jup, pretty much
As in I was confirming what you were saying =p
 
@KevinvanderVelden it seemed to me like "almost" :)
 
FAE
11:15 AM
@Blem Hahaha, that's awesome
 
@Spyder well it does disregard association bonuses, among other quirks; so it is 'almost' a straight sum.
 
45 SO rep yesterday! Soon I shall rival Jon Skeet!
 
@Sterno I think I get as much on a good day just by sitting on my ass and waiting for rep from old posts to accumulate
 
@PrivatePansy Yeah, there's a magical point where that happens.
 
11:25 AM
Also, I drove a truck for 50 minutes around the streets of Singapore today and managed not to kill anyone or myself!
 
4 kids are permanently crippled though, right?
 
Pfft, who need legs anyway?
 
I'm reading this and finding some of the "Stuff everyone should know" section hard and the "Senior Developer/Architect" stuff easy.
 
@PrivatePansy Yeah, but how high was the bill for property damage?
(More seriously thought, nicely done!)
 
I don't know that I have ever cared to know how many processes can listen to a single TCP/IP port.
Though I'd assume the answer is either "1" or "infinite"
with 1 being way more likely
 
11:29 AM
@PrivatePansy father of 43 childs?
@PrivatePansy wooo!
 
@Sterno The answer to that question is actually a bit more complicated anyway, on Windows.
 
@Sterno On Linux it's 1. Dunno what complications there are on Windows.
 
@TimStone 1 if using standard sockets, infinite if using lowlevel packet capture drivers and parsing the packets?
 
although I suppose that the 1 process can then write the 1 socket to a file for more processes to use, but it probably gets pretty messy
 
Anyway, it hardly seems like something that "everyone who writes code" needs to know.
 
11:31 AM
@Sterno TCP/IP is pretty important :)
 
It really should've been 100 minutes, but the lesson was cut short, so all I did was to drive out of camp, go in a rather big circle, do a U-turn and go back
 
@badp Sure, but not to everyone who writes code. I've been writing software professionally for 12 years and have never, ever needed to know the answer to that question.
(or dealt directly with TCP/IP at all)
 
@Sterno okay. I'm just saying we were taught about this in 2nd year of uni.
It was a pretty painful experience too, bare sockets in C are the most awful thing
 
I'm old. We didn't have computers when I went to school for software development.
:)
 
Sockets in C are like creepy copypasta, except worse
@Sterno The best part about that lab is the automated testing system, which expected us to write programs that connected to the grading server which then tested the correctness of the program.
Since ofc this is a pretty language neutral way to do things a few people decided that they'd not write a program in C, after all, and instead use netcat to pass the exercises.
 
11:35 AM
heh
 
(This is when I discovered Python <3)
 
@badp that sounds like something I would have done, we had a database class which didn't specify the dialect of SQL to use for our excercises
So the first few lessons were passed just by using LIMIT 20, 40 form MySQL =p
 
Hrump, this isn't one of those servers where you upload your source code, which is them compiled, ran and graded on the spot?
 
The final exercise in C would've been basically hell on earth (some kind of 3-way censoring proxy bullshit), but it was solved in 20 lines of Python and 5 minutes and one regular expression
(no we didn't know what a RE is)
(the lab assistant was, and is, a pretty awesome person)
@PrivatePansy Nope! That's not how it worked.
I do not know very well how the previous lab worked, but basically we had to write some C code that then linked directly with the grading part of this contraption. I don't think we had the source code of the second part; I never looked for it. Still, there wasn't much cheating that could be done there.
The networking lab though? It quickly degenerated into one of those edutainment games where you're given a sum and you must compute it
or whatnot
 
@KevinvanderVelden Isn't that standard for most SQL dialects?
 
11:41 AM
@KevinvanderVelden I don't even know how you'd do that otherwise
 
@PrivatePansy nope, SELECT TOP n is standard, LIMIT is MySQL specific
 
Oh, okay
The few proprietary features I know of are ORDER BY RAND() and ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
 
> 4. 4. 4. 4. 4. 4. 4. 4. 4.
 
@badp I'm trying to remember but its hard =/
In mssql it would be
SELECT * FROM   (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY id) AS rownumber,*
        FROM document)  as somex  WHERE  rownumber >= (1+1)*10-9
                         AND rownumber <=(1+1)*10
 
SQL Server 2012 made that a bit easier, thankfully.
 
11:45 AM
I know we were thought a different way, I just forgot it :)
 
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE is insanely useful , by the way
 
Looks cool, you'll need natural keys for it to be really usefull though
 
I successfully made you all nerd out.
 
@Sterno like that's difficult =p
 
@KevinvanderVelden Normally we geek out in here.
 
11:49 AM
I'm not sure if I understand the difference
 
@PrivatePansy one seems to be programming related, apparently.
 
Neeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrdddddddssssssssssss
 
There is a clear difference between nerd and geek
 
Go on...
 
Nerd = collared shirt, clipboard, and pocket protector
Geek = Dude at the comic store in a ratty Spider-Man t-shirt covered in cheeto stains
Also:
 
12:02 PM
Xkcd is always relevant
 
It's funny because I found that image after listing my definition.
And clearly if someone on the Internet made an image for it, it must be right.
 
Clearly :|
Oh well, lunchbreak time :)
Cya in a bit
 
@Sterno Where does the metalhead who nearly lives in a computer fits in that image?
 
@Sterno You miss a 404 message in our image.
These numbers are important
 
12:09 PM
It didn't load? Well, it was a Tron image.
 
I see it
 
@Sterno Looks like they redirect others to the homepage, you evil hotlinker.
 
That's a quality edit for review item 44444
 
12:17 PM
> Comment: Family guy
that's the most depressing part.
 
Got my first downvote ever! Don't know why though...
 
That's usually how it goes.
And when they tell you, it doesn't help, because you think they're wrong.
 
@KevinvanderVelden barf
I guess it's necessary for pagination and such but man.
 
12:34 PM
@StrixVaria :(
 
@Sterno It got an upvote too now, so net win in rep. Still curious for why the downvote in the first place. But whatever.
@StrixVaria I clicked it expecting bullshit. Got bigger bullshit then expected... with an add of nearly 5 minutes that looked nearly identical to the video...
(don't know about the sound though)
 
@StrixVaria Tomorrow is Friday

Q: How can I play with local teammate on PC?

12:40 PM
@OrigamiRobot Sloth videos.
 
@Arperum The sound makes it even bullshittier.
You should give it a try.
 
@StrixVaria No sound here, and for that I am happy for once.
 
CHOCOLATE COVERED WEEKEND
 
12:46 PM
@Sterno I'm still looking for at least one of @Origami's SLOTHs
 
> Chimeras, eh? FUCKIN SWEET
 
He probably has them locked in disslothly small cages doing unspeakable things to them
 
So last night I finally saw part of a cartoon that @OrigamiRobot's avatar is from
 
I will probably have to call the internet police.
 
It was kind of surreal and made me feel like I was losing my mind.
 
12:47 PM
@Sterno Sounds right.
 
He just kept running around talking to "Bebe" while cats chased him
 
@Sterno Oh that one's not even that good.
 
@OrigamiRobot That was my impression as well. But I couldn't trust my own judgment, because as I said, it kind of made me feel like I was going insane.
WHY IS A GAMEBOY RUNNING AROUND TALKING TO I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT AND CALLED "BEBE" AND REPEATING ITS NAME OVER AND OVER WHILE CATS CHASE HIM?
WHERE IS MY CAPSLOCK KEY?
 
@Sterno the running gameboy stole it
